Bell Block's kidnapped Christmas tree case…4 x Ferrel men arrested
Four ferrel young men have been arrested and charged in connection with Bell Block's kidnapped Christmas tree case. The 3.5 metre tree was chopped down and stolen from Santa's Choice Christmas Tress at Cedar Lodge Nurseries on Egmont Rd in Bell Block on Sunday night the 8th December 2013. A few hours later security cameras in Waitara recorded footage of the tree cowering on the back of a white Ford Courier ute driving around a roundabout in the town. The stolen tree was later found dumped on the same roundabout. Yesterday, Thursday 12th December Waitara Constable Trenton Hoeta said four ferrel young men had been arrested in relation to the theft and he was not looking for anyone else. The four ferrel young men will appear in New Plymouth District Court on Wednesday 18th December 2013. Mr Hoeta said he had also located the ute. "However it has changed colour as a result of featuring in the Press," he said. The silver lining to the crime was Cedar Lodge Nurseries donated the stolen tree to Waitara. It is to be decorated and set up outside the post office in time for tomorrow's, Saturday 14th December 2013 Christmas Parade. Before being chopped down the tree had been bound for New Plymouth Christmas in the Bowl 2014 event.

Bell Block' New Homes set to Increase again
A Reserve Bank decision to exempt new construction from the loan-to-value restrictions will be a double benefit, says a leading Bell Block Real Estate Agent who has been waiting for the change. Chris Wright from Century21 Real Estate said the Reserve Bank had underestimated the impact of its decision. "In construction, they lose a whole season if the change isn't made quickly. Approvals had dropped 50%, which is huge for construction." Chris Wright said it would encourage people to get into the supply side of the housing market by making it advantageous for them to build rather than buy second-hand. "I hope we'll see a massive influx." The RBNZ today, Tuesday 10th December 2013 announced that lending to customers wanting to build new homes would not count towards banks' low-deposit lending cap. "The Reserve Bank has recently consulted with the building industry and banks on the impact of LVR restrictions on residential construction activity," Deputy Governor Grant Spencer said. "While high LVR construction lending is only around 1% of total residential lending, it finances around 12% of residential building activity."This exemption means that low deposit lending will fall outside the 10% speed limit if it is financing the construction of a new house or apartment. "However, any new low deposit construction loans will still need to meet the internal risk requirements of the lending banks."He said it would help support the supply of new housing and reduce some of the pressure arising from excess demand in the property market.

Nelson Mandela is Dead
Former South African president Nelson Mandela has died, aged 95. The former president had been in a Pretoria hospital for almost three months, spending his 95th birthday there as he received intensive treatment for a respiratory illness. He was discharged from hospital on September 1st 2013, but the South African government said the anti-apartheid hero remains critically ill and under intensive care at his home, where he died this morning, Friday, 6th December 2013. President Jacob Zuma's office said at the time that Mandela would receive the same level of care at home as he had in hospital. In July 2013, court documents obtained by AFP revealed Mandela had been in a 'vegetative state' for a week, and was being kept alive by his family as they feuded over the burial of two of Mandela's children. The South African government reacted quickly and denied the claims, saying Mandela was not 'vegetative'. He has been hospitalised four times since December 2012, mostly for the pulmonary condition that has plagued him for years.
Dead Body of Staff Member found at NP Girls High School
Police have confirmed a 41 year old male staff member was found dead at New Plymouth Girls' High School on Wednesday evening around 7.30pm, the 4th December 2013. Girls High principal Jenny Ellis said staff were grieving for the man, who had worked at the school for a decade. "It has just been the most distressing and devastating news."Sergeant Grant Roper said police and paramedics had been called to the school at 8pm. "There are no suspicious circumstances and the death has been referred to the coroner." He said police were investigating the death. Mrs Ellis said the staff member who had found the man dead had gone looking for him after a phone call from his wife saying he had not returned home. The man was not a teacher.
Bell Block Trainers miss out – Racemeeting abandoned
Taranaki Thoroughbred Racing's scheduled meeting at Pukekura Raceway today, Thursday 5th December 2013 was canned without a race being run. Stewards, along with a deputation of senior riders and trainers inspected the track an hour before the first race was due to run and deemed the track unsafe for racing. There was surface water pooling on areas of the course following prolonged heavy rain in the previous 12 hours. "We recorded 100mm [rainfall] last night and a further 40mm fell from mid-morning," said TTR chief executive Carey Hobbs. He said officials inspected the track at 7am when the rain had stopped temporarily and at that stage there were no concerns that the meeting would not proceed. "We had another 40 mm from mid-morning and when we checked the track again and there was surface water on the track," said Hobbs. "Everyone including trainers, jockeys and the Racing Integrity Unit were unanimous that the meeting be abandoned because of likely visibility problems for riders." Hobbs said the racing club had budgeted on making a $20,000 profit on the meeting. He said under the current funding policy in regard to abandonments the club would receive a small payment to help cover the costs of setting up the meeting. The next meeting at Pukekura Raceway will be a pre-Christmas twilight fixture on Monday, December 23, 2013.
Georgie Pie is back and just as good as ever, say some Bell Block based fans
Georgie Pie is back and just as good as ever, say some Bell Block based fans. Steak mince 'n' cheese pies went on sale yesterday, Wednesday 4th December 2013 at the main McDonald's in New Plymouth, and the branch sold around 200 in the noon to 2pm lunchtime rush. "Everybody remembers it as the same pie," and "Everyone eats it in their own way. They have their own idiosyncrasies – pulling it apart, using a knife and fork." Feedback from customers had been fairly positive, with words such as "good" and "yummy" thrown around. However, with a $4.50 charge, there are questions whether their popularity will last. But the pie is no longer available for a single gold coin as so fondly remembered. For some bizarre reason, the pie will be in the Hawera McDonald's on December 12 2013, and then New Plymouth's Centre City food court on February 17 2014.

Pioneer Editorial: How about a living wage, not minimum
The U.S. Senate on Wednesday failed -- for the ninth time since 1997 -- to raise the minimum wage, which has remained unchanged during that time at $5.15 an hour. The 52-46 vote was eight short of the 60 needed for approval under budget rules in the Senate, and the House has sworn off any attempt to vote on a minimum wage bill at any time this year.

Do you feel, outside of education, you yourself are intelligent? I ask more due to a sibling issue that arose, where it was working mom vs stay at home mom. Hot topic I know, but outside of it, do you feel your education makes you more above those in society with less of an education?
Do you consider yourself "intelligent?"
Posted 07/25/2014
I can be smart, lol. I graduated community college with an associates in business administration - cum laude. I can be book smart when I actually want to be and try. Other times I'm just lazy. However, I lack common sense (think - Jessica Simpson type).

David P - 14th February 2014
Gym was fine, plenty of equipment and not too busy. However changing rooms were in a pretty awful condition, especially the showers, which were full of mould - considered not even using them and I'm not that fussy!
Emily H - 20th June 2013
Friendly staff; has every equipment type you would need. Shower facilities are basic and its tricky to get some time in the free weight section because that's the most crowded area. Good value for money though
Charlotte M - 14th June 2013
Went to this gym in early mornings, was quite busy. Free weights area well equipped but cramped at times.

I have never even heard of a green witch. Do you cast spells on your herbs? Do you say incantations over them to create the healing power? Are you kidding about your cat shape-shifting? Do you still practice WICCA?
I think of 2 verses:
I Timothy 1:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils
2 Corinthians 11:14 KJV
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
and I think of this in regards to mammon
Matthew 6:24 KJV
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
OK here comes a 4th (they keep coming to mind)
Exodus 34:14 KJV
For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
OK, I think I went to Mass one time in about 2nd grade with some friends. I believe it was Mass as communion was being served. Why do you ask?

TangoCMS 2.3.0 with WYSIWYG Editor
The TangoCMS content management system is now available in version 2.3.0. The numerous enhancements to the release code-named Dolphin include an embedded WYSIWYG editor.
The new editor for creating and revising pages replaces the previous MediaWiki formatting, which users can still continue to employ. Page layout also provides URL conformance where regular expressions can serve as search patterns.
The TangoCMS also includes a new Comments module with additional features and a Tags module for tagging content such as articles and pages (and a Tag Cloud). Further improvements went into performance. The CSS files are smaller and more compact and JavaScript files are compressed with the Yahoo! YUI Compressor. In the security realm, lockout support after a configurable number of failed logins was included, and the Session module provides SSL encryption (although not yet by default).
The software written in PHP is under GPLv2 and available for download from the project page. The model-view-controller (MVC) framework that powers Dolphin, called Zula, is under LGPL 2.1 licensing.

New Structure of Loudspeaker
We present a new structure of loudspeaker: the motor is ironless, the suspension is ferro fluidic, the moving part is piston like, with a concave dome. The absence of iron guarantees a small and constant inductance of the moving coil, as well as the absence of Eddy currents. The motor includes two circular joints, one on each side of the moving coil. These joints are ferro fluidic. They fulfil the guidance and centring function and the air tightness function. This structure is quite rigid. As there is no traditional suspension in this structure, the related non-linearities and hysteresis disappear.

Mix: UK shuffle, turbo.264, iRepair, Museum
The iPod shuffle has seen a price drop in the UK, from £55 to £49 (approx. $97). This follows an April drop in the price of fifth-generations iPods, when the 30GB model was cut £10 while the 80GB went from £259 to £239 (approx. $472).
Previously mentioned on iLounge, Elgato's Turbo.264 H.264 video encoder is now available for $100. The USB 2.0 device accelerates video exports to iPod and Apple TV formats from any application that uses Quicktime export.
iPod repair service iRepair.ca has launched a US-based service and is offering 24-hour turn around iPod repair service for all models.
According to a UK survey, the iPod was the universal favored choice as an everyday object that belongs in a museum.

The next giveaway in the 12 days of Healthy Holiday Giveaways will give you an opportunity to stay active. I'm excited to announce the second giveaway is two race entries to both RAM Racing's Cinco de Miler and Terrapin 5k. Yes, you and a friend of your choice will be hitting up two of the most popular races in Chicago. To clarify, one person will win and can bring a friend to each race.
RAM Racing, the brains behind the; Hot Chocolate 5k/15k, Bucktown 5k, Northshore Turkey Trot and more, want to give you the chance to get moving. You will get to experience two of the most fun races in Chicago. The first race entry you'll win is the Cinco de Miler race. No it's not a 15k nor a 5k, but a 5 mile race in celebration of Cinco de Mayo. Afterward you'll be able to take part in the post race Fiesta. I attended last year and had a great time at the Fiesta. You can eat, play bags, hit the piñata and much more. In addition, you'll then have the opportunity to run the Terrapin 5k race. It's not only a 5k but also a music festival. Their slogan is, "run rock relax". It can't get much better than that for a race.
Signing up for a race is a great way to get you motivated and off the couch. Having a friend with you can also help you be accountable with your training. If you're already a runner you'll get your entry taken care of. Either way you're bound to have a great time. And did I mention the awesome goodie bags that RAM Racing gives for all their races? I've seen sweatshirts, moisture wicking shirts and running jackets.
For this giveaway you must first "Like" Ram Racing Facebook page and my Body by Bond facebook page. Then leave a comment on my Body by Bond Facebook page stating you "liked" both pages. A winner will be chosen at random after the drawing ends at 5pm. Good luck and tell your friends. You can agree to both take one another to the race if you win!

Carroll County High School head coach Jay Jones hit a grand slam in the top of the fifth inning to give the black team an 18-8 win over the gold team in the second annual Bob Coots Legends game held Saturday at Panther Field. The score is especially significant because Coots was No. 18 when he was the Panthers' head coach.
Jones said Coots coached in the 1980s and 90s and died last year, which is why the game began. Jones said Coots was a pitching coach, but knew all aspects of the game.
Panthers fall to South Oldham, 6-4
Carroll (17-9) lost to South Oldham 6-4 on the road Thursday.
Head coach Jay Jones said his team had a chance to win the game, but did not get enough production from the bottom half of their lineup. Ethan Stewart was credited with the loss on the mound.
Zach Wise was 2-4 with two runs; Dillon Craig was 2-4 with an RBI; Stewart was 2-3 with an RBI; Tyler Gross was 2-4; and John Michael Adams was 1-2.
Carroll County voters showed very little interest in the May 17 primary election with only 471 casting ballots in the Democratic and Republican races.
That's an overall turnout of 6.52 percent, county clerk Alice Marsh said. That's off from the last primary with no local races in May 2007 when some 2,200 people voted with overall turnout of 12 percent.
Marsh said she believes the numbers voting were low because people were not aware of the primary election and the fact that incumbent Gov. Steve Beshear is unopposed and was not on the ballot.
Twenty-two teams in four age groups helped raise more than $2,000 in the Kameron Nab 3V3 soccer tournament Saturday at the county park.
Brian Hedges organized the event, which benefited the Kameron Nab medical fund. Hedges said Greg Damron and Vernon States helped him host the tournament, as well as assisted in publicity and getting the equipment and fields ready to go. The Carroll County High School soccer teams donated the use of their goals and soccer balls, while volunteers helped run the concession stand and referee the games.
A local pastor and his ministry have made it their mission to assist convicted criminals successfully to re-enter society.
Pastor Bimp McAlister runs Calvary Ministries, an organization that last year provided temporary housing for 18 people exiting the prison system with crimes, including drug and sex offenses.
Carroll County High School's baseball team was hoping to spend its Saturday at Panther Field, competing for the NCKC tournament championship. Unfortunately for the tournament hosts, they were unceremoniously eliminated in the first round against Henry County Thursday night.
The Panthers (16-7) struggled to make plays defensively that they had made for the majority of the season, and the Wildcats (13-8) capitalized on the opportunities, winning 13-5 to advance.
The Carroll County Senior Center is located at 110 Sixth St., Carrollton, (502) 732-7026
Wednesday, May 18: Rummy, pool, Wii games, euchre, 9:30 a.m.; birthday lunch 11:30 a.m.

Three Rivers District Health Department will conduct a low-cost rabies vaccination clinic from 8-10:30 a.m. Saturday, June 11.
The clinic will be held at the Carroll County Health Center, 401 11th St., Carrollton, and performed by staff from the Carroll County Animal Clinic.
Owners may bring their dogs and cats to receive a rabies vaccine for only $5. Make sure your pet is in a carrier or on a leash.
Other vaccines and supplies may be available upon request for additional fees.
Social Security ends visits to Carroll County
The Social Security Administration will no longer visit the Carroll County Circuit Court office on the second Tuesday of each month.
Local residents needing assistance may visit the SSA office at 140 Flynn Ave., Frankfort, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday, and 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday.

A probability-based robust control design methodology is presented that is applied to the 'benchmark system', which is a high-fidelity model of an active-mass-driver laboratory structure. For the controller design, the objective is to maximize the probability that the uncertain structure/controller system achieves satisfactory performance when subject to uncertain excitation. The controller's robust performance is computed for a set of possible models by weighting the conditional performance probability for a particular model with the probability of that model, then integrating over the set of possible models. This is accomplished in an efficient manner using an asymptotic approximation. The probable performance is then maximized over the class of constant-gain acceleration-feedback controllers to find the optimal controller. This control design method is applied to a reduced-order model of the benchmark system to obtain four controllers, two that are designed on the basis of a 'nominal' system model and two 'robust' ones that consider model uncertainty. The performance is evaluated for the closed-loop systems that are subject to various excitations. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Running water from house to shed
I plan on running electric from my house to a shed (maybe 80 feet) and was thinking about running a water line out there also. This would be used for gardening purposes.
what type of line should I be running out there. Copper, plastic or what? I live in the Chicago area and would be concerned with freezing during the winter.
Thanks in advance for the help, rredogg
I have done this twice; both times with 1" Poly pipe. For the barn: I ran the poly line from its source, in the basement, to the barn below the frostline (approx. 45") at the barn I installed a frostfree hydrant. Done deal, six years no problems of any sort and no winterization necessary. To the shed I ran poly line approximately 18" below the surface, with a pipe puller, this line gets blown out in late October. four years no problems of any kind. Leaving poly pipe pressurized is a point of contention for some as are it's flow characteristics. Works fine for me.
You could probably go for schedule 40 and fill your bucket 30% faster, for only four times as much $, but why?
