The upstairs haymow has a capacity of 150 people for a wedding ceremony. The downstairs area, where the dairy cows were kept, in the early years of the barn, also has a capacity for 150 people.

Chester boys' basketball beats Lassen, wins tourney
Shannon Morrow
With an acrobatic flair, Chester's Cole Fanning leaps past a Lassen defender Dec. 14. Fanning totaled 11 points and eight rebounds in the 50-45 victory. Photos by Shannon Morrow |
Last week's boys' basketball game between Chester and Lassen promised to be good, so two sports editors showed up to cover the same match.
With me there supporting Chester, and Susanville's Kayleen Taylor there rooting for Lassen, we stood under opposite baskets, taking photos and notes of our respective teams as they battled it out.
Prior to the match we gave one another some good-natured ribbing, each confident that our team was going to win.
With Chester leading by nine points at halftime, I began to rub it in. Taylor wasn't fazed and continued to back her Grizzlies.
Once the final buzzer sounded and Chester was victorious, I did my best not to gloat. I offered condolences to Taylor, to which she responded with harsh words.
Got to love her competitiveness, but I was glad to be on the winning side. Better luck next time Kayleen!
The Chester High School boys' basketball team has jumped out to impressive 10-1 start this season, including two tournament championships and a big win at Lassen last week.
"The kids are playing really hard and really smart," said Chester coach Joe Gilmour. "We run a Princeton-style offense with high-percentage shots, and man-to-man on defense to force bad shots."
Chester 50, Lassen 45
Chester and Lassen were neck and neck through the first quarter. After six lead changes, Lassen led 12-11 at the end of the first period.
Early in the second quarter Lassen extended its lead to 18-15, but then Chester went on a 14-2 run to go into halftime with a 29-20 advantage.
"We played well in that game," said Gilmour. "Harry Leseur locked down Lassen's point guard. The poor kid had a hard time getting anything done."
Chester took control of the game with excellent shot selection and accuracy, as the Volcanoes made 57 percent of their shots from the floor.
On the other end of the court, Lassen was afforded very few second shots, thanks to Chester's aggressive defensive rebounding, especially by Chad Durkin.
Durkin led the Volcanoes with 11 rebounds, followed by Cole Fanning with eight.
By the end of the third quarter, Chester had extended its lead to 41-29, but Lassen refused to give up and outscored Chester by seven points through the final period.
Three players scored in double digits for Chester. Topher Taylor totaled 14 points, Durkin netted 13 and Fanning bagged 11.
Taylor and Fanning combined for nine steals, and Taylor delivered 10 assists.
Mountain Pride Invitational
Chester went 3-0 to capture first place at the Mountain Pride Invitational in Chester Dec. 9-11.
In their first game against East Nicolaus, the Volcanoes won 69-54, with a field goal percentage of 64 percent as a team.
Topher Taylor made six of seven shots from the floor, including three three-pointers, to lead Chester with 15 points.
Cole Fanning and Chad Durkin drained 13 points apiece, and Harry Leseur netted 10, making five of six from the free-throw line.
Jake Simms and Durkin each pulled down 11 rebounds for the Volcanoes.
Taylor delivered nine assists, and Leseur served up seven assists.
Keith Wann led with four steals, and Taylor nabbed three steals.
The next night, Chester had an easy time against Burney, taking a 25-4 lead by the end of the first quarter and cruising to a 59-36 victory.
Nine Chester players scored, and they all shot 50 percent or better from the floor.
Durkin led the Volcanoes with 12 points, followed by Fanning and Leseur with 10 apiece and Ryan Bereznak with seven. Durkin also led with 13 rebounds.
Fanning and Durkin captured six and five steals, respectively, and Taylor delivered 12 assists.
In their final game of the tournament Saturday, the Volcanoes beat up on Big Valley, 66-23.
Bereznak led the way with 15 points for Chester, while Addison Cory and Durkin each scored 10.
Simms grabbed 13 rebounds for Chester. Durkin recorded 12 rebounds, giving him his third double-double of the tournament. Dylan Schriver added eight rebounds.
Durkin also claimed five blocks. Dusty Burnett led Chester in steals with four.
Chester had only five turnovers in the game.
Taylor was chosen as the Most Valuable Player of the tournament. Fanning and Durkin also earned all-tournament honors.
Modoc tournament
Most recently, Chester extended its winning streak to eight straight games with three victories at the Block M tournament in Alturas last Thursday through Saturday, Dec. 16-18.
The Volcanoes couldn't practice all week because most of the team was sick with the flu, including the coach.
"We got a couple good, gutsy wins," said Gilmour. "Considering we were all not feeling well, it was pretty cool."
Chester opened with a 57-45 win against Modoc Thursday then beat Tulelake 69-55 Friday.
In their final game against Lakeview Saturday, the Volcanoes posted a 62-51 victory.
Harry Leseur was selected as the tournament's Most Valuable Pl

Rafael Soriano participated in his first workout with the Nationals today.
VIERA, Fla. — Rafael Soriano arrived at Nationals camp this morning, four days later than the rest of the club's pitchers and catchers but relieved to be with his new teammates at last after waiting for his work visa to be approved in the Dominican Republic.
"I wanted to be here a little bit early and be with my new team," the reliever said. "So I go and try to get my visa, and I see nothing happens. So now I have to wait and see what happens."
Soriano, who has been throwing on his own at home, finally got word yesterday morning his visa was approved and immediately made plans to fly to Florida.
"The guy called me and said: 'Hey, I got your passport. You can go anytime you want,'" the 33-year-old closer said. "So I said: 'Let me get a flight and get here.'"
Signed in late-January to a two-year, $28 million contract — with $14 million of the money deferred — Soriano has been through

A little pet peeve. Can't you use his Press Conference photo in a Nats uni instead of constantly using his Yankees uni?

In Mark's defense, it appears he now gets his photos from the USA Today Sports archive or the AP and I checked and they have no stock photos of Soriano in a Nats unihttp://www.usatodaysportsimages.com/search/fulltext/rafael%20sorianoI prefer the Getty Images archives and when I checked it I saw the Nats did a studio photo shoot already with Rafael Soriano on January 17th.http://www.gettyimages.com/Search/Search.aspx?query=z.i.H4sIAAAAAAAEAOy9B2AcSZYlJi9tynt_SvVK1-B0oQiAYBMk2JBAEOzBiM3mkuwdaUcjKasqgcplVmVdZhZAzO2dvPfee–999577733ujudTif33_8_XGZkAWz2zkrayZ4hgKrIHz9-fB8_In7dfLn91et79-79Hr_2tFr8umeL7CL_NX-NX-PXeEz__-3r7DzLy7Sp6iJbVulV1syL5UVbLX_NEdrI82t9ubS_Rx7T8NdM6qpqX2Z1tmh-Hf3s18L_d3fQ5Fu_hoX0m5lXf3f885vQ_3-9d6-vm9N3Btyv6f3NYLJz8-uvqb8D8q-dnU9t7_4fvzY-2OHOF6170_3-61Dj0n5h_8J7vy79US8s2PDPXx8f7eKvX48_n1gYnb_5tfMQiv2ToexYKOcdKO5vfq0Oodg_GcqehVJ3oLi_iTK5hYE_fm39g8m0i99-Q9P2N8Y_IBzRJF-ZT3_N4K9fO5809hvzBxM7dzh4v_9auWvu_f5rN6uV_Rx_GBx_K_vi5dS96H7_daraYxX7F381yf2vzF94fu3ZlWXjX9P8AT79dZq1N57gr187zxwG_h_0-8r_wv7x6zYBtPDPX_vds-duIugP-0VWe7h5f_xGzbRa5U_Wy1npETH41AD8ccB5sHMfv_86xENr2zz469eZ1_KHUAh_GQgfA8Le3kNuNgmaTbxmn3jNiJucfPl__Hov8qu8af-fAAAA___24f1JfQQAAA..&rid=159776511&rcat=Event&rt=DC%3a+Washington+Nationals+Introduce+Rafael+Soriano#

@Davidemanager and coaches can focus on the pitchers, see where they are at physically, schedule bullpen sessions, etc. if pitchers are there, catchers have to be also.

Horsey, you're looking a gift horse in the mouth. Steve M. is the man, and a proud contributor to this site. Your comment about Soriano, Alfonso by name, makes no sense.Besides sportfan, Mark channnnnnged the picture!!!! And also besides, Mark expects us to provide frequent commentary—that's how this site survives as a commercial entity, e.g., the more the merrier ($).Which stable are you out of?

Henry R reminds me of old Senators' shortstop Johnny Sullivan. His throwing was so bad it was expected, hence Arch MacDonald's deadpan call: "Grounder to Sullivan and he throws it in the dugout."
- Tony - Feb 16, 2013 at 6:15 PM
"Mark Zuckerman @ZuckermanCSNHenry Rodriguez's first pickoff attempt of the day winds up in center field."That's what happens when position players haven't reported yet and you have no one covering second.
- Mickey Vernon - Feb 16, 2013 at 6:17 PM
And then there was Clark Griffith's son-in-law, Sherry Robertson. Arch: "Fly ball to right, Robertson knocks if down and throws it to second."
- sjm308 - Feb 16, 2013 at 6:28 PM
I can't top the radio calls and Arch was just great with his gruff voice, but I was there when Carlos Paula had a fly ball go off his head in Right Field. Just a difficult club to love but we did!!
- sjm308 - Feb 16, 2013 at 6:29 PM
By the way, Mickey – I loved how you played the game! LaRoche sort of reminds me of how you picked it at first base.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Feb 16, 2013 at 6:45 PM
Horsey, i love Mark. I was a founding contributor to help Mark and very commited to his success. I gavé him a suggestion on Getty Images. Didn't think that was a problem. Who wants to see Yankees unis?

What are the odds of a 10 year old going to Jarry Park (with Dad) and following the Expos until they left, and continuing to follow the team through Mr Loria and MLB's destruction of an organization.

- Mickey Vernon - Feb 16, 2013 at 7:08 PM
sjm308 — I didn't think anyone on here went back as far as I do. Carlos Paula! How about Bingo Binks in CF, and Milo Candini coming in to relieve Chick Pieretti? Saw my first game in 1945, first opener in 1946. We deserve today's Nats. Any others on here who took the streetcar to Griffith Stadium?
- sjm308 - Feb 16, 2013 at 7:11 PM
Hell yes! Took the streetcar from Takoma Park to Griffith. Pretty sure it was a nickel at first and then it was bumped up to a dime.
- Mickey Vernon - Feb 16, 2013 at 7:16 PM
Gotta go, but one final Senators memory: Arch MacDonald's gong on his calls from the teletype on road games. "Here it comes and there it goes — bong — over the hills — bong — and far away — bong — into the left field stands — bong — a home run for Hank Greenberg."
- NatsJack in Florida - Feb 16, 2013 at 7:47 PM
Bussed in from Arlington to Georgetown, then the streetcar to the inteesection of Floida and Georgia Avenues to old Griffith Stadium. Always stopped at the Little Tavern in Georgetown for some of those .05 cent burgers on the way.

@DWSYou're not alone. My Dad began taking me to Jarry in their inaugural season and I've followed them to Washington also. I was fortunate enough to be on hand in Washington (man I love that city) for the first game at Nationals Park and I managed to scrounge a week next month to see some spring training games.Love this team. Go Nats.
- Tony - Feb 16, 2013 at 9:04 PM
Is that LaRoche kid's homework done?
- Unknown - Feb 16, 2013 at 11:37 PM
Toma Ohka was one of the Nats best pitchers in 2005. Trading him after he showed up big Frank was a huge mistake. Team has a winning season and contends until the final ten games had they kept him.

Pictures In A Box at Metropolitan Methodist 3401 Nebraska Ave NW
Pictures in a Box facilitator, Erin Brindle, says, "Pictures in a Box is an arts and memory project of Club Memory. Participants meet every first Friday of the month, 10-11:30am, at Metro Methodist. The Pictures in a Box supports people with a diagnoses of Alzheimer's/Dementia and their caregiver by creating memory pictures of old photographs with description of sensory memories of the picture in hand. In the 1.5 hour session, participants can be helped to mount their photos and create text to describe the feelings, who, what, where, when, and why of the content of the picture. Several members of Club Memory have created a series of mounted photographic memories. The set of photos can be used as memory cards for both caregivers and participants with a diagnosis. Members and I have looked forward to sharing and remembering family stories, memories of relatives and friends, and creating a community of support." Please RSVP!

These are usually the rules followed in ones house that a particular game is being played in. These rules will always change from house to house and are sure to always cause a 10 minute argument/debate over them. These rules are known to be made up during the actual game.
For example: if you are playing pool in one person's house, his "house rules" might be that whoever makes the 8 On The Break wins automatically whereas the house rules of another person's house might be whoever makes the 8 On The Break loses automatically.

The rights of married same-sex couples will come under scrutiny at the US Supreme Court on Wednesday in the second of two landmark cases being considered by the top judicial panel. After the nine justices mulled arguments on a California law that outlawed gay marriage on Tuesday, they will take up a challenge to the legality of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). The 1996 law prevents couples who have tied the knot in nine states -- where same-sex marriage is legal -- from enjoying the same federal rights as heterosexual couples.

The safety net of life insurance
You work hard to provide a good life for your family, and you'd do anything to protect them.
But what would happen to them financially if you died tomorrow?
If the answer troubles you, then you need life insurance. Life insurance provides a safety net tomorrow for the loved ones who depend on you today.
But where to start? There are two main types of coverage are available -- term life and permanent life insurance.
Term vs. permanent life insurance
Term life insurance covers you for a certain period, such as 10, 15 or 20 years. Buyers typically choose a policy that covers them until their mortgages and other debts are paid off, or the kids have graduated from college and are living independently. Term life is fairly straightforward, compared to permanent life, and it's less expensive than a permanent life policy. The average cost of a 20-year, $250,000 term life policy for a healthy 30-year-old is about $150 a year, roughly the cost of one latte per week, according to LIMRA and the LIFE Foundation.
A term life policy pays out if you die during the term while the coverage is in effect. Then your beneficiary collects the proceeds, called the "death benefit." You can't cash in the policy while you're still alive. With term life you risk buying something that your family might never end up using, but in return you gain the peace of mind knowing they'd be OK if you died unexpectedly.
Permanent life insurance, such as whole life or universal life, covers you for the rest of your life. The policy pays the death benefit to your beneficiary whether you die tomorrow or in 50 years.
Permanent life insurance also includes an investment component, known as "cash value." The cash value of the policy starts off small and then gradually grows tax-free. If you hold onto the policy for many years, the cash account becomes a nest egg. You can borrow from the cash value -- the policy stays in effect as long as you repay the money, plus interest -- or surrender the policy for the cash. Read more about cash value life insurance.
Because of its cash value and lifelong coverage, permanent life insurance is pricier and more complex than term life. Some policies even provide long-term care benefits.
Which type should you buy?
Choose term life insurance if you:
- Need only temporary coverage.
- Have no dependents who will need financial help for the rest of their lives.
- Don't own a family business or have a large estate to protect.
- Want to provide for lifelong dependents, such as a child with special needs.
- Need to protect a large estate or family business from estate taxes.
- Want to leave a legacy.Want to provide loved ones with money for your final expenses, such as medical bills and funeral costs, no matter when you die.
How much to buy
Beware of easy formulas, such as multiplying your annual income by a certain number. Instead, do a thorough needs analysis.Determine how much your family would need to pay your final expenses, such as funeral costs, and how much your loved ones would need over the long haul to maintain their quality of life. Consider big expenses, such as paying off the mortgage and other debts, and funding your children's college educations.Both parents should be insured -- not just the primary breadwinner. To determine the amount of insurance for a stay-at-home parent, consider how much it would cost to replace the services that parent provides, such as day care.
Don't assume your group life insurance through work will provide all the coverage you need. Most group life policies are small, and the coverage ends when your job ends. Roughly four in 10 insured married people depend solely on group life policies, according to LIMRA, a life insurance industry trade group.
Life insurance rates
Life insurance premiums vary according to the type of policy, amount of coverage and the insurer, as well as your age and health.
That's why it's important to buy coverage now. The longer you wait, the higher the premiums will be and the greater the risk that you could develop a health condition and not qualify for coverage. Here are 10 ways to save money on life insurance. Besides comparing policies, evaluate insurance companies.

text: English has shed its case system and 'whom' no longer serves any grammatical purpose. Back when English had a genuine case system the distinction between 'who' and 'whom' was essential, now it serves no semantic purpose. No doubt there were people who once decried the diminishing use of 'ye', 'thee' etc.

I read all the reviews before I purchased this product and was still a bit skeptical. I received the band and it is a good quality and very pretty. However, the band is very "thin" on the height from your finger. It almost fits flush to your finger. Some people may like that, just not quite was I was expecting. I plan to keep the band, overall it is a good find. Just wanted other buyers aware of this because it was not mentioned in the other reviews.
This is a beautiful ring for the price. I have seen and tried on exact ring in more than one jewelry store for at least double, and in one case triple the price on this site. It matched same anniversary band I already owned which was soldered to my engagement ring.All in all I am very happy with my purchase. I did have ring sized when it was soldered to my existing set, but even with the expense it still was a better deal than any of the local jewelry stores in my area. Ring arrived in less than 5 days. Would recommend buying on-line,just make sure item is what you are looking for, I measured width of band and size of channel set stones before I ordered.
My jeweler retired in January, so I was screwed. Overstock came through with a fine product at a great price. The white 14K ring was exactly what my wife wanted, and though the diamonds are small the quality is good. Every thing locally at this price point is 10K, without any diamonds.
I have looked at possible wedding bands for months and couldn't find anything that I really liked to match the details of my engagement ring. I stumbled across this ring and decided to roll the dice to see if I liked it in person. I ordered this ring in 1/4 TDW on Feb 14th and recieved it today on the 20th! When I opened the box I was pleasantly surprised at the shine this ring has and how well the diamonds pop on my finger! It is lower set to your finger, which I like, but keep that in mind when ordering to match another ring. Great buy and Great find! VERY PLEASED!!
This 12 diamond channel band is absolutely beautiful! The picture does not do the ring justice. I was very skeptical to order diamond jewelry without seeing it in person; however, I was extremely pleased with this ring! I had paid $200 more 5 years ago for an identical ring that was priced ~$1000 in local jewelry stores. Great value and wonderful product, I have had multiple compliments from friends and random people in public. I would definitely recommend this ring!
My wife loves this ring. The thickness of the band meshes well with her engagement ring and is not overpowering at all. It's a very nice, affordable wedding band.
I ordered this to be my wedding band after reading through all the reviews. There was hardly any negative in any of the previous reviews. I originally wanted a band with several rows of pave set diamonds, but ultimately decided to go with something more smooth & comfortable. On this ring, the diamonds are set so that the band feels completely smooth. This ring is beautiful & I can't wait to be able to wear it every day with my solitaire engagement ring! It's heavier than I expected & a nice width. I have small hands & definitely would not want anything wider; I almost wonder if I should've gone with the 1/4ct instead of the 1/2ct.

A physical education teacher from Rome, New York, Elizabeth W. Whitaker became an avid recorder of gravestone inscriptions in the 1940s. She died in 1992 at the age of 93.
The core of the Whitaker collection consists of 25 receipts and accounts relating to the early marble industry in western Massachusetts.

The collection also includes a selection of photographs and postcards of gravestones, mostly in New England and New York; two folders of typed transcriptions and newspaper clippings of epitaphs from the same region, ranging in date from the early colonial period to the mid-19th century; and a price list of Barre granite from Wetmore and Morse Granite Co., 1934.

We were told on arrival / and there was a hand written notice in the hallway that it was not possible to pay by credit / debit card (even though I had given my debit card as security) or by cheque with a card only cash. We had to drive to Wye to obtain cash and so were not able to go to a nearer restaurant. I would have expected to have WIFI facilities but this was not available. The shower was not as clean as it might have been and there was a very small amount of shower gel in the bottom of a bottle- only enough for one person. A note in the hall asking guests not to remove towels from the rooms did not give a good impression. The time for breakfast was rather restricted. I would not have given this a 4 star rating. Checking out time was 10am and this was impressed on us that we had to be sure to leave by this time.
