Laboratory, surgical block, pay wards among facilities envisaged
Steps to upgrade the Fort Community Health Centre into a taluk hospital would be taken immediately, said Health Minister V.S. Sivakumar on his visit to the centre on Tuesday.
He asked the hospital authorities and District Medical Officer D. Pithambaran to formulate a detailed plan on infrastructural renovation, staff pattern, and on increasing the number of specialities for the project.
During his meeting with the hospital administrators, a number of issues were raised, many of which figured under the Corporation's renovation schemes promised over a year ago.
A single-storey building, supposed to serve as the hospital lab, was meant to be fully functional this year; however it resembled more of a ruin, with broken windows and the roots of a nearby banyan tree threatening the structure. Hospital authorities said plastering of the walls was the only work done here.
"Even primary health centres with much fewer staff and patients have a lab, and in order to avoid delays in treatment, the setting up of one is imperative," a doctor at the centre said.
Mr. Sivakumar ordered that the work be completed by the end of the month, including the installation of lab equipment and the employment of two lab technicians. The Minister also asked the hospital authorities to submit a list of medical equipment needed, which would be provided by Kerala Medical Services Corporation Ltd. (KMSCL). An ambulance would also be provided by the KMSCL.
It was decided that a three-storey building, comprising a labour room, surgical block, and medical block, would be established on the campus. Additionally, the Kerala Health Research and Welfare Society would construct a two-storey building with 14 rooms to be used as pay wards.
Complaints regarding the age-old drainage and wiring systems were also voiced, with doctors pointing out that both frequently required repair. With the drains getting clogged often, around Rs.30,000 had been spent over a year for cleaning, said a hospital official. Using the MLA fund, these systems would be replaced, the Minister said.
In response to the issue of the lack of cleaning staff, Mr. Sivakumar directed the DMO to employ two additional staff members for the time being.
The accumulation of waste was also brought up and the hospital authorities said an agreement had been forged with IMAGE to dispose of biomedical waste. To deal with other kinds of garbage, the hospital Superintendent sought a biogas plant.
Provision of hot water and seating facilities also figured on the list of hospital requirements. The Minister inspected the general and maternity wards, the dental and general out-patient sections, and the building where the lab is to be set up after the meeting.

The overall sector maintained a pattern of strong growth, with a reading of 62.5 in March on the closely-watched Markit/CIPS purchasing managers' index (PMI) - where 50 separates growth from contraction.
The reading represented the 11th month in a row of growth for the sector.
But it was little changed on the previous month's figure of 62.6 because of a slowdown in the growth of civil engineering output, which had been buoyed by flood relief work in February.

Who We Are
We are a church in the city for the city
Our name comes from the two elements Jesus used to describe himself and his sacrificial death. Bread represents his body broken. Wine represents his blood shed. These two images represent our community because we are a people formed by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Jesus used the image of "bread&wine" while seated around a communal meal with his closest friends. In this way, it also reminds us of the open, inclusive, ever-celebrating nature of a community that invites Portland to come and see the implications of a life lived with Jesus at the center.
"We believe in God the Father Almighty; Maker of Heaven and Earth; and in Jesus Christ His only begotten Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into the lower earthly regions; the third day He rose from the dead; He ascended into heaven; and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. We believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen." –The Apostle's Creed
The gospel demonstrates that we are all deeply loved by God and that truth changes everything. Personally. Globally. Eternally.
"Gospel" simply means "good news" and is a pronouncement concerning the person and work of Jesus Christ. The good news is about Jesus: being God, he took on flesh and lived the life we should have lived, a sinless one. Jesus died the death we should have died, as our substitute. Jesus rose from the dead, conquering sin and its effects. He thereby proved that he was an acceptable sacrifice upholding God's justice, defeating sin & death for all those who would believe. The fruition of this good news is in God making all things new-complete restoration, peace, joy, and justice forever. // Read more about the gospel.
The gospel changes who we are.
We aren't defined by what we do. We are defined by what God has done in the person and work of Jesus Christ. What we do is based upon and motivated by what God has done and who God has made us to be. This is all the outworking of faith in God. We don't define the church by activities, buildings, or programs.
Because of who God is and what he has done, we are forever new–given a new identity in this world. We are now learners and followers of Jesus. We are now sons and daughters of God. We are now missionaries, sent by God to restore and reconcile the world to himself. We are servants who bless and sacrifice as a way of life. // Read more on our gospel identity.
The gospel transforms cities culturally, socially, and spiritually.
Equipping disciples for the work of ministry. Every disciple is a full-time minister.
Here is our growing team of folks who are leveraging their lives to serve, train, and equip the people of bread&wine in the work of the ministry.

The end of Baby Boxes
All over the world, children are abandoned within hours of being born. Some, sadly, are left to die. Other foundlings though, are left in what are known as baby boxes: safe, secure places, usually at hospitals or clinics, where a desperate mother can drop off her child anonymously and know he or she will be cared for. But now, there are calls for an end to baby boxes and claims that they do more harm than good to those most vulnerable among us.

Location to my needs
The ice machine AND the vending machine were both broken during my 2-day stay!
Both the Ice Machine and the Vending Machine were broke during my two day stay :(
Old, antiquated building layout from 1896. Jacuzzi shower was excellent. Room was prepared first class- very impressed. Owner was a delightful young gentleman. Very pleased, would definitely visit again.
Dining room choices were a little too fancy and expensive. I'm sure they were worth it and delicious, but too much for my tastes .
Nice location and like the old holiday in style
House keepers not very nice. The room was not very clean . Items left under the sink in bathroom .
Beds were comfy, breakfast was great, appetizers were great too and very affordable.
A few of the machines in the video game area took your quarters and did not work. There were kids running up & down the hallway yelling at 11:00 at night. Took staff 1/2 hr to address this issue.
the staff was very helpful and courtous.
Room is old and nastic and smell i fond flea on the bed and pillow. you shouldn't recommend to the others.
The breakfast was horrible. Might as well not offer anything.
Not a damn thing!
The smell, the breakfast, and the cleanliness.
We liked the large and clean swimming pool kept around 70 degrees, and the unlimited complimentary towels available at the pool. The hot tub with foaming jets was great! The unlimited free coffee, tea, and variety of cookies at the front desk was a nice touch, as well as the free lending library. We loved the all-you-can-eat breakfast that included make-it-yourself waffles, cookies, toast, jams, English muffins, cornbread, biscuits, sausage and gravy (excellent sausages), eggs, salsa, bagel, cream cheese, vanilla yogurt, and make-it-yourself parfait (with granola, chocolate chips, raisins, dried cranberries). The room was well decorated and the free sample size grooming products were nice: Panthene shampoo, conditioner, grapefruit scented soaps, lotion etc.
Poor lighting on street at night making access hard to find.
The location and the staff were good. The upper floor rooms were a little better than the units on the main floor (less smell).
The first floor units had a real bad smell of animals. They appeared dirty on this floor. The pool was small, with lots of glass looking at the front desk.
Location and Price
Questionable guests - one was talking about her recent time in jail right after we checked in. Towels were worn out, bed spreads had cigarette burns and hot tub was cloudy. Pool was over chlorinated
breakfast was the best! nice chef on staff- excellent food
pool closed Sunday @3pm- could have had more gulten free breakfast items, bigger variety of fruit , smoothies or bananas, strawberries.
people were helpful, extremely pleasant reflecting on good management to me. It I were to go to this town again. This is where I would go. Pool was really clean and bath water warm!! breakfast was great.
Fon du lac has a very depressing feel to it. Everywhere we went people looked like they hate life at every business we went to except the Comfort Inn that we went to. It was startling. It felt like we were in a bad movie as for the rest of the town.
Very nice staff. Clean rooms. Decent pool and breakfast was included. Would definitely stay again.
Courteous Staff that greeted me, very professional.
Reasonable price
1 hour away from final destination.

New stringing instruction
Hello, I am new to stringing and to this board. I just purchased a stringing machine and am interested to learn in the best fashion. Is the manual that comes with the stringer usually enough, or should I buy a video or book or something. I purchased a Gamma x-6FC. Thank you.
Reading about stringing is good but having a video such as the ones at sptennis.com is ten times better. :)
i learned to string initially from books, the videos on the web and by asking a lot of dumb questions on this board (a continuing process). . . but . . . i have to say, if there's anyone you know (pros at clubs, stringers at a school nearby) who could show you in person, it would save a lot of effort. I think it took me about 6-7 hours to string my first racket while reading the USRA's book. I think i could teach someone now in about an hour. . .
that being said, if you can't find anyone, lots of folks learn by reading. the videos on the sp website are good as well.
I learned how to string from the Klippermate stiring manual :) I also learned from the 2000 stringer's digest booklet. That booklet really comes in handy and a good reference to anything about the tennis racquet. It even shows how to string ATW and the many uses of the starting clamps that are more detailed than what you see online.
gmlasam, where can I get the 2000 stringer's digest booklet? :confused:
I was a member back in 1999 up to 2003. When you are a member, you get the Stringer's digest booklet of that year and lots of discounts and free strings and other great stuff.

Fantasia admits to catching feelings about being left out of the Aretha tribute.
Fantasia admits to catching feelings about being left out of the Aretha tribute.
It was supposed to be a celebratory night for Fantasia, who won Best Female R&B performance for her single "Bittersweet," but the night couldn't have been more bittersweet for her. Fantasia intentionally stayed home from the Grammys and she called into "106 & Park" to explain why she didn't attend the awards show Sunday night.
Last night they were honoring someone who is my idol, Aretha Franklin; and there is no way I could have sat there and not got the happy feet and wanting to jump on the mic because she is my favorite. So I felt like, you know, at the end of the day I should have been on that stage. So, I kind of did my own little thing last night.
I have this feeling, like every year I go, I feel like they always look over some of the good singers that are still around. I'm not trying to be funny, but that's just the way I felt."
Ummm, you feel that way too?!
Tasia shouldn't feel so bad, though. Ms. Franklin herself wasn't even in attendance. I have the solution to make her feel better: Fantasia should go to Aretha's house and stage her own tribute and post it up on YouTube. I'd watch it. You still rock in my eyes, boo!

|Composition of fluid inclusions from the cave-in-rock bedded-replacement fluorite deposits in the Illinois-Kentucky district
|Pelch, Michael A.
fluid inclusion
Mississippi Valley type deposits
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|The stable mid-continent platform of North America hosts some of the greatest known concentrations of Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) mineralization in the world. Most of the mineralization occurs between two major physiographic regions, the Ozark Plateau and the Interior Low Plateau. The Illinois-Kentucky district is one of three principal MVT districts in the Interior Low Plateau and is distinct from other North American mid-continent MVT deposits in that its ore mineral assemblage is dominated by fluorite instead of sulfide minerals or barite. However, like these other MVT deposits, the Illinois- Kentucky deposits were probably precipitated from northward flowing sedimentary brines set in motion by topographic gradients created by the Alleghanian-Ouachita orogeny during the Late Paleozoic. The primary objective of the current study was to quantify the chemical composition of the mineralizing fluids through in situ fluid inclusion analysis using microthermometry, laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), and laser Raman spectroscopy in order to try to gain insights into the ore formation process. Results show that the fluids that formed the Illinois-Kentucky district are chemically distinct from the fluids that formed MVT deposits in the Ozark Plateau. These differences can be attributed to interaction of the mineralizing sedimentary brines with ultramafic, rift-related igneous rocks present in the Illinois-Kentucky district but not in any of the Ozark Plateau districts. Fluid inclusion homogenization temperature and salinity relationships suggest that MVT mineralization in the Illinois-Kentucky district was produced from a mixture of at least three brines, two of which had relatively high salinities and temperatures and the third of which was cooler and more dilute. Mixing among at least three fluids is supported by the elemental concentration data, which tend not to correlate with one another or with the microthermometry data, but rather plot as two-dimensional arrays. The compositions of the end member fluids could not be pinpointed from the available data, however it appears that at least one of the fluids had elevated concentrations of the ore metals, Pb, Zn, Cu, and Fe as high as on the order of 1000's of ppm.

There is such a thing as social media overshare, demonstrated perfectly in the below photo.
Michelle Keegan posted this sexy Twitter photo of her and Mark Wright all loved-up in bed, but frankly it's a little TMI for us.
Michelle and Mark, both 26, are big fans of sharing PDA snaps and messages on Twitter.
In fact, just two days ago Mark went on a drunken Twitter speech about his girlfriend, saying: "Twitter is for expressing your feelings (especially after a drink) it feels so good to be so happy I love my girl more than anything
Well, it's safe to say that the pair seem as happy and loved-up as can be.
So much so, in fact, that they're planning to move in together after Christmas.
Michelle revealed the news after announcing that she's quitting her role in Coronation Street and is making the move from Manchester to Essex to be with Mark who just so happens to be the first bloke she's ever lived with.
However, Michelle has admitted that she's not planning on having babies any time soon.

The actress said: "I love babies, but working with a newborn has changed my outlook,' she admitted. 'I'm now thinking I'm not ready yet — give me a few more years."
We can't wait that long - we want to see some mini Marchelles running around.

Shortages of skilled labour are already apparent in the plant turnaround season whilst bureaucracy should improve
The wave of petrochemical plant projects announced for the US in response to the shale oil and gas revolution faces a serious shortage of manpower than can imperil those plans, two chemical producers' CEOs said on 4 June.
Ethane crackers, propane dehydration plants (PDH) and other facilities have been planned in the wake of the shale boom to take advantage of the growing feedstock advantage in the US.
"The queue's already building quite quickly," said Craig Morrison, CEO of Momentive Specialty Chemicals, who made his comments at the American Chemistry Council's (ACC) annual meeting in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Even with only a few projects being built at present, manpower shortages already are being felt throughout the industry, especially along the Gulf Coast, said Jim Gallogly, CEO of Netherlands-based LyondellBasell.
"In turnaround seasons in the spring, we already see shortages of qualified welders and pipefitters. This is before significant construction has started," Gallogly said.
"As an industry, we're reaching out to the trades, we're reaching out to a lot of different constituencies to try to get qualified people ready to accomplish what we need to do as an industry."
Part of that outreach is to unions, he said.
"We're asking for their help to make sure we do have the crafts necessary," Gallogly said.
The manpower shortage is due partly to an aging population and competition for qualified labour from the drilling industry, Gallogly said.
"The oilfield is a wonderful place to be as well," he said.
Manpower will not be the only issue inhibiting petrochemical plant growth, he said.
Permitting has been somewhat slow, with some talk that the US government furloughs that came out of the sequestration budget cuts might be hampering the process, Gallogly said.
But getting a permit should not be as complicated as it currently is, he said.
"We're coming in and doing the right things environmentally," Gallogly said.
"These plants are state of the art, and emissions are very low, and so we think we're giving the regulators something that they can approve without too much discussion, because we're doing it the right way," he added.
Manpower and permitting issues likely will lead to delays in the building of announced petrochemical plants, he went on to add.
"You should expect the timing will be later than most people are saying," Gallogly said.

Great Spring Break Trip
Great House for family.
Perfect stay in West Palm Beach
We were with 6 adults and 4 children in the age of 6 till 16.
Everything we needed was available and we had a lot of fun in het garden and swimmingpool.
The next time we are in this area we stay defently in this house again.
Thank you Wayne for let us stay in your home it was perfect.
Lovely house, even nicer in person than the photos on the site
The pool area is why we rented the house and we were surprised that it was nicer than the photos. The area is completely private and makes you feel like you are in an oasis of rain forest, it really is special.
The week we were there was a bit cool, with some days in the low 60's but the heated pool allowed our three young children to swim everyday we were there. The whole house is on a single level which was also great with kids and each door has an alarm to the pool area which gave us peace of mind.
The owner seems very nice, the property manager couldn't have been nicer, and the house was fantastic. We couldn't have picked a better place for a family and was so much nicer than staying in a hotel.
Summer Family Vacation
Great house for a large group
The central sound system with separate controls for each room kept the athmosphere fun. The BBQ grill is top of the line too. We had a lot of rain on the first day, but the heating system let us enjoy the pool on the next day. There were plenty of towels, bed linens, utensils, and everything you need in a house. The driveway fits 6 cars, and the garage was large enough for all our bikes, pumps and gear. The house was clean, well decorated and everything worked from minute 1.
The house is more expensive than most properties in the area, but the extra features made the price seem right. You will need a car if you want ot enjoy the beach and downtown West Palm, which is just 2 miles away. Our race went along the beautiful baywalk, which is just 2 blocks away.
Thank you Wayne and Mark for making us feel like we were the real owners of this great house.

Though the benchmark BSE Sensex opened in the red, it is currently trading 80 points aup 25,960. The Nifty is also holding up at 7753.
The markets have shown some resilience despite the industrial production declining to 3.4% in June and retail inflation rising to 7.96% in July. The inflations numbers have dimmed any hopes of rate cuts. The Asian and global markets have also remained unstable over the past few days due to no relief in Ukraine-Russia crisis.
The major gainers in the morning trade are NMDC, BPCL, HUL, HCL Tech and ITC. The major losers are BHEL, DLF, Bank of Baroda, Tata Power and Hindalco. Bhel remained in pressue losing 4.5% after weak numbers.

Seeks clarity on alliance with BJP and party panel for T
More smoke appears to be billowing from the TDP in the region, what with the party's Telangana Forum leader and MLA Errabelli Dayakar Rao coming out hard on party president N. Chandrababu Naidu on Monday.
Mr. Rao said he was unhappy with the TDP chief, but would not leave the party. He criticised Mr. Naidu for there being no clarity on a proposed alliance with the BJP, and the lack of response to his request to constitute a new committee of the party for Telangana State.
"I am unhappy because Mr. Naidu is not clarifying on several issues. Merely reiterating that the party is committed to the reconstruction of Telangana is of no use," Mr. Dayakar Rao told The Hindu.
Referring to rumours that he would be joining the Congress, Mr. Rao said he was not joining any party and would leave politics if necessary.
"I will quit politics and stay at home, instead," he said.
Mr. Rao, who had earlier planned a meeting with party cadre at Thorrur mandal headquarters to decide about his political future, later cancelled the meeting and asked important mandal-level leaders to come to Hyderabad.
It is learnt that he would consult his followers, after which he is likely to resign from the position as convenor of TDP's Telangana Forum and announce his next political move – whether to join the Congress or any other political party.Quits party convener's post
Special Correspondent adds: Meanwhile, Mr. Rao was learnt to have been pacified for now by party MP Garikapati Mohan Rao and MLA Revuri Prakash Reddy and senior party leader Vem Narender Reddy.
The trio met the disgruntled leader and dissuaded him from taking any harsh decision that would harm the party.
However, he announced quitting the Telangana Forum convener's post later.
Party MLA from Mulug Seethakka alias D. Anasuya criticised the TRS leadership for poaching into the TDP. She sought to know if the TRS was not finding candidates to contest elections on its ticket. What would be the fate of leaders who had been working for the TRS from the beginning if leaders from other parties were to be admitted, she asked.

Anonymous witness of NM cop shooting pursued gunman
The man saw a gunman shoot a cop then steal his cruiser, so he jumped in his own car and began pursuing the dangerous man
By PoliceOne Staff
ALBUQUERQUE — The owner of a car wash – who wishes to remain anonymous – decided to spring into action when he saw a masked man shoot an Albuquerque cop, then jump into the wounded officer's cruiser and speed off. The owner followed the gunman, calling 911 from his own muscle car, a 2003 Corvette C5.
Christopher Chase, 35, was armed with an AK-47 rifle when he told a bystander to call 911 and tell police "he would be waiting for them," according to the Washington Post.
Veteran officer Matthew Hannum arrived on scene and was shot in the leg by Chase, who managed to get into the cruiser and leave the scene with the squad's emergency lights flashing.
"When he got in the police unit and took off I wasn't going to let the individual get away, especially when no one else was around," said the car wash owner, who then jumped into his Corvette and chased after the man while on the phone with emergency dispatchers, according to KOB.com.
"They kept on telling me to pull over and stop and this and that. That I'm breaking the law," he said. The man stopped pursuing the gunman only after officers arrived and were also pursuing Chase.
The witness was still behind Chase when he stopped at an intersection and fired at oncoming officers.
Chase was killed after crashing the cruiser he'd stolen. Three officers were wounded and are recovering.

The Church
Berkhamsted's parish church is St. Peter's, one of the largest parish churches in Hertfordshire. It was consecrated in 1222 by the Bishop of Lincoln, although parts of the church are believed to be older. At the back of the church lies a marble tomb of a knight and his lady. It is thought to be that of Henry of Berkhamsted, one of the Black Prince's lieutenants at the Battle of Crecy.

The Rex Cinema
To see a cinema from the golden age of film going visitors must see the Rex Cinema in the High Street. The cinema opened in 1938 and closed in 1988 but re-opened as a private venture in 2004. It has all the feel of a cinema from the 1930s and even if you do not want to see a film you can see the foyer where there is a cafe. You could perhaps glimpse the auditorium as I did by having a quick look by quietly entering it - it really is impressive.
The cinema is a grade 2 listed building and films quickly sell out. Because of its closeness to London major stars sometimes visit to introduce films.
Home and Colonial
There used to be a Home and Colonial in every English town but they closed years ago so I think the shop of this name in the High Street is an attempt to recreate one of these classic English shops.
This is a real treasure house of old books, furniture, clothes, shoes, bags and other interesting things. A wonderful shop to browse around. I must admit when we gave up on teak furniture in the 80s no one wanted it and here is old teak furniture as prices I had to look at twice at!
There is also a cafe on the top floor and this is reviewed separably.
I guess this should be a shopping tip but this is one of the must see things in the town.
Old buildings
The town has many old buildings and they all carry a blue plaque explaining who lived there. A typical old house is Dean Incents house opposite the church in the High Street. John Incent was Dean of St Pauls Cathedral between 1500 and 1545 and he was the founder of Berkhamsted Collegiate school which still exists today.
His house in the town (see below) was built in 1500 and is inhabited still.

The Grand Union Canal
The Grand Union Canal passes through the town on its way from London to Birmingham. It lost its canal trade as late as the early 1960s and the small inland port around the Castle Street area also disappeared with the loss of commercial traffic.
However the canal lives on for the use of the many colourful canal craft that ply this busy canal. There are a number of locks in the town and it is nice spending time watching the barges travel slowly through the town. Many tie up and moor here to take on provisions or visit the town.
Berkhamsted Castle
Near the railway station (on the other side of the tracks coming from the town centre) are the ruins of Berkhamsted Castle.
There was already a Saxon fort on this site when in 1066 King William granted the Manor and Honour of Berkhamsted to his half brother Robert and work began on a castle - the site was seen as important as it guarded a main route through a valley.
The castle fell in to disrepair in the late 1400s and in 1580 Elizabeth 1 leased the castle to the keeper of the Queens Jewels and he demolished the castle and used its stone to build Berkhamsted Place (demolished in 1967) on the hill above the castle site.
Today it is owned by the National Trust and admittance is free. There are are some retaining walls to see and a mound with impressive views of the town from its summit.
A pleasant place to walk - there are description boards around the site describing how the castle would have been.

The Berkhamsted totem pole
There used to be a timber yard on the spot near the Grand Union Canal at Castle Street where flats now stand and if you look in to this private complex you can see one of Englands four totem poles.
In the early 1960s, Roger Alsford, a great-grandson of the founder of the timber company , went to work at the Tahsis lumber mill on Vancouver Island. During a strike he was rescued from starvation by a local Kwakiutl community. Alsford's brother, William John Alsford, visited the island, and in gratitude for their hospitality, commissioned a totem pole from the Canadian First Nations artist Henry Hunt. The western red cedar pole, 30 feet (9.1 m) long and 3 feet (0.91 m) in diameter, was carved by Hunt at Thunderbird Park, a centre for First Nation monuments. The completed pole was shipped to Berkhamsted in 1968.
The carvings on the totem pole represent four figures from North American First Nations legend: at the top sits Raven, the trickster and creator deity; he sits on the head of Sunman, who has outstretched arms representing the rays of the sun and who wears a copper (a type of ceremonial skirt); Sunman stands on the fearsome witch-spirit Dzunukwa; at the base is the two-headed warrior sea-serpent, Sisiutl, who has upstretched wings.

Berkhampsted Castle
We had a lovely stroll around this ruined castle on peaceful Sunday afternoon.
"William the Conqueror received the submission of the English at Berkhamsted Castle after the Battle of Hastings. Around 1070, his half-brother, Robert of Mortain, built a timber castle. It was in the classic Norman motte-and-bailey form, with a defensive conical mound and oval bailey.
The castle stayed in royal hands, and in 1155 Thomas Becket was granted the honour of Berkhamsted by King Henry II. "

Old Town Hall
Berkhamsted Town Hall was designed by Edward Buckton Lamb and opened in 1860. It was largely funded by public subscription. It replaced a Market House and was always intended to be multi-functional. Over the years it accommodated council meetings, classrooms, theatre, a postal sorting office and a British Restaurant. By the late 1960s it was worn out. But for a public outcry and the efforts or prominent Berkhamsted citizens, it might have been demolished. However, today it has been restored and is now a brasserie.

Berkhamsted Castle
The ruin of Berkhamsted castle is located right beside the railway line. The original fortification dates from Saxon times although what remains is Norman. Work on the Norman structure was started in 1066 by William the Conqueror who later passed the castle to his half-brother, Robert, Count of Mortain. Berkhamsted was of some strategic importance, and there was already a Saxon fort guarding the main route through the valley. In the 12th Century, the castle was home to Thomas Becket, Chancellor of England and later Archbishop of Canterbury. In the 14th Century, it became the residence of Edward, the Black Prince, and Geoffrey Chaucer was appointed Clerk to the Works. In 1469, Edward IV granted the castle to his mother Cecily Neville, Duchess of York, who lived here for the remainder of her life. After her death, the castle gradually fell into decay. The castle is said to be unique in having a double moat. All that remains are part of the exterior walls, earthworks, moats and motte.

Carved by an artist of the Kwakiuti tribe from Canada's Pacific coast, this splendid object arrived in 1970 and is located by the canal, beside Castle Bridge. To say it's unusual to find in leafy Hertfordshire is an under-statement!
St Peter's Church
The parish church of St Peter is one of the largest in Hertfordshire. Parts of it, like the nave, date back to the early 13th century. The Lady Chapel is of similar age, and although its windows are more recent there are signs of the originals' settings. Other notable features include 14th century tombs of a knight and his lady and the large east window commemorating the poet William Cowper.

Grammy®-Winning Artists, Rock Stars and Composers Join Forces in First US-Produced Benefit Album for Gaza Relief
2 Unite All Proceeds will fund medical, psychological support in Middle East
A diverse group of famed musicians including Peter Gabriel, The Police's Stewart Copeland, Rick Allen of Def Leppard, System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian and Grammy® Award-winning opera singer Sasha Cooke, have come together for a first-of-its-kind benefit album to deliver urgent humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza. Produced by Project Peace On Earth (PPOE), the album features 26 powerful musical tracks of healing and peace.
With over 2,100 people dead, more than 3,000 children injured, and over 370,000 Palestinian children in Gaza left traumatized after this summer's assault, 2 Unite All proceeds will go directly to support the surgical and medical teams of Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF) and the vital psychological counseling supported by UNRWA USA. PPOE will also lead a PTSD therapy effort with renowned psychotherapist Dr. Edward Tick and continue its peace initiatives in the Holy Land.
Rick Allen of Def Leppard says, "Our world is finally focusing on resolving this conflict. Too many lives have been lost and too many innocent children and families remain perilously injured." Lauren Monroe, Allen's wife and songwriting partner, adds, "The beautiful people of Palestine require the world's immediate medical support. Contributing a song to help bring necessary healing and resources to Gaza was the least Rick and I could do." Allen concludes, "I'm encouraging all Def Leppard fans to buy a copy of 2 Unite All and support this cause."
The 2 Unite All album, which features cover art from renowned illustrator Greg Spalenka and was made possible with the assistance of TuneCore distribution, is available for purchase at: www.2UniteAll.com

A few years ago, Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen and his wife Lauren Monroe decided to use their own experiences with healing and major life transformation to help and inspire others. Today, their Raven Drum Foundation is helping other people in crisis one person at a time.
Allen and Monroe founded the Raven Drum Foundation, a non-profit organization based in Malibu, Calif., in 2001 to provide free educational programs and to inspire personal growth during times of adversity.

Re: HMS Bounty in trouble...
What is suggested is that Wallbridge was superstitious regarding Friday and that could have influenced his choice of weather and information limiting the days he could sail off. He was running in a tight schedule and needed to sail away to not miss commitments.
It is said that he never had set sail on Friday, following a long tradition regarding bad luck. Of course, if that is true or not and if it had played a part on this accident, it is impossible to know:
quote:"Why did a captain with decades of experience choose to rush to sea shorthanded and with a largely inexperienced crew at dusk on Oct. 25, after a long day of sailing and tours, as the powerful storm churned northward and gained strength?
A possible answer to "Why?" barely got mentioned during the proceedings...
Only Doug Faunt, 65, a quick-witted, veteran sailor who testified wearing a T-shirt carrying the date of the Bounty's demise, offered a glimpse into the simple question of "Why?": Walbridge's obeisance to an ancient superstition.
Walbridge, 63, never left port on Fridays, Faunt told..: The old superstition, spawned by the discomfort of setting sail on the day of Christ's crucifixion — Good Friday — could have played a fatal role for the Bounty...
Long bypassed by modern sailors as an illogical remnant of the past, the superstition apparently was part of Walbridge's makeup, part of the way of life aboard an 18th-century square-rigger. No matter that this Bounty was a Hollywood creation built in 1960....
The Thursday evening departure was a crucial factor, though. By Friday, the ship was far at sea with Sandy building to a huge presence. The Bounty pressed on, and by Saturday, it was clear the ship could not sail around the massive storm to the east. Instead, Walbridge ordered a desperate course adjustment that took the ship on a southwest tack, trying to reach the shelter of Cape Hatteras.
Had Walbridge waited until Friday to sail or waited until Saturday, assuming he was adamant about not setting sail on Friday, the power, breadth and imminent danger of the storm would have been far more obvious
...So Bounty set sail Thursday evening..."
Also some light is shed about why he wanted to arrive to St. Petersburg, Fla, on a schedule:
"Walbridge was doing more than avoiding a Friday send-off....
Bounty's possible salvation lay in coming under the control of a nonprofit organization that could provide tax advantages and use the ship for fundraising by taking on paying passengers and other commercial enterprises.
But it needed costly upgrading to meet Coast Guard standards to take on that new mission, and it needed to find an organization that wanted the aging ship....
The ship was scheduled to spend the winter at port in Galveston, Texas, but before that, it would spend a few days at the St. Petersburg, Fla., pier where it had been a familiar sight for years. The pier was about to be renovated, and Walbridge wanted a last visit there before heading to Texas.
As Bounty set sail from New London, plans were coming together, also, for using the ship as the focal point of a nonprofit based in Birmingham, Ala., dedicated to raising funds for and awareness of people with Down syndrome.
The Ashley DeRamus Foundation, along with Walbridge, was planning to give individuals with Down syndrome the chance to crew on a tall ship. It would be an educational opportunity for them to learn to sail and to develop independence, self-esteem and responsibility.
The foundation and Walbridge arranged to stage a special celebration in Tampa, Fla., once the ship arrived from New England. Families of Down syndrome adults and children planned to meet the ship; several individuals with Down syndrome would make the final leg of the trip to Galveston as volunteer crew members along with DeRamus.
It was all going to be filmed, narrated and become part of the foundation's marketing pitch.
Christian was buoyant. "Claudene had been told by the captain that she would be part of the winter crew, and she was just totally excited about that," Kannegiesser said. "She was going to be part of the public relations and marketing effort that would bring closer together the foundation and the Bounty."...
The day for the Tampa celebration was set Nov. 9. The trip from New London to Tampa by way of Key West is about 1,600 nautical miles. If the Bounty averaged 5 knots, it would take 13.3 full days of sailing to reach the Tampa-St. Petersburg area.
That meant that if the Bounty got in a full day of sailing on Friday, Oct. 26, and nonstop sailing night and day for the next 12.3 days, it would reach Tampa Bay about midnight Nov. 6. Had the Bounty waited for Sandy to pass, gone far enough east to avoid it, or not set sail until Saturday, reaching Tampa on time would have been virtually impossibl
So the rushed start the night of Oct. 25 was crucial: It avoided having to set sail on superstitious Friday; it gave the Bounty a sliver of a chance of avoiding Sandy and a cushion of a day or so. But there could be no breakdown, no prolonged stopover, no significant change in course.
"We don't want there to be any impression that Nov. 9 was a fixed date that couldn't be changed," Kannegiesser said. "It was clear that if there was a problem, we could accommodate that."
What was clear from the hearings in Portsmouth, though, was that Walbridge, if anything, was a man of his word, someone who could be counted on to make good on a plan. He ruled the ship, where it went and when. Was meeting the Florida timetable something he saw as a sign of dependability, as crucial to the vessel's future of gaining a new owner?
Did superstition and the lure of a new role drive the Bounty to the bottom of the sea? - Richmond Times-Dispatch: News, Crime And Politics For The Richmond Metro Area
All this makes a twisted kind of sense. Not logical, but logic seems not to be strong on that ship and crew. it also explains why Claudine, even with doubts gambled to make the voyage. What was at stake to her was not only the voyage but a kind of permanent job in a thing that he really loved.
It seemed he had not had much luck in his live on the past and end up in not having luck in is end, being one of the two that died.

Fantasy Football Week 9: Start and Sit
Who to sit: Dez Bryant (Cowboys) suffered a hip injury on the almost- touchdown at the end of last week's game. He'll likely still play. The last time he played banged up, he only caught two balls for 14 yards.
Sleeper: Dallas has yet to face an elite tight end, which could enable Tony Gonzalez (Falcons) to get off his two game snide.
Obvious starters: RB LeSean McCoy (Eagles), QB Drew Brees (Saints), WR Marques Colston (Saints), TE Jimmy Graham (Saints).
Who to start: Like Cam Newton, I expect Michael Vick (Eagles) to find a way to bounce back this week, especially with his job likely on the line. He'll have help from the worst defense in the NFL. New Orleans has allowed 475 total yards per game. Jeremy Maclin (Eagles) and DeSean Jackson (Eagles) will be dangerous on the fast track in New Orleans. The Saints have given up 11 touchdowns to wide receivers over the past four games. Darren Sproles (Saints) hasn't been much of a runner this season, but he's still a stud in PPR leagues.
Who to sit: With Graham's return in Week 8, Lance Moore (Saints) was targeted only six times.
Sleeper: Philadelphia has not allowed a running back to rush for a touchdown since Week 2, but it has allowed three straight 100-yard games to team running backs. Pierre Thomas (Saints) could be a potential flex candidate if New Orleans tries to mix in more running plays.

Goals from Jamie Allen, Ian Henderson and Michael Rose clinched victory for in-form Dale, with Plymouth playing the last 40 minutes with just 10 men after Andres Gurrieri was dismissed for striking defender Jack O'Connell in the face.
Rochdale were ahead as early as the fifth minute when Henderson and George Donnelly combined to set up Allen, who slid a neat finish past Luke McCormick.
Josh Lillis prevented the visitors drawing level when he kept out a fierce volley from Gurrieri while Dale midfielder Peter Vincenti had a header cleared off the line by Reuben Reid before the break.
Lillis pulled off a fine save to deny Lewis Alessandra early in the second half but once Gurrieri was sent off, the visitors were up against it.
Henderson doubled the lead with a wonder goal in the 76th minute, cutting into the area on the right and sending a left-footed half-volley into the top corner.
And Rose wrapped up the win late on when he angled a 25-yard lob over McCormick.

|No. 10 Florida State eyes ACC crown vs. Maryland
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 16 November 2012 05:43
Terrapins coach Randy Edsall says, ``If we want to have a chance to win, we've got to play a perfect game and get turnovers against them.''
Especially with a linebacker at quarterback and several key players sidelined with injuries.
Problem is, Maryland (4-6, 2-4) hasn't been anything close to flawless during a four-game losing streak in which it has been outscored 118-58. True freshman Shawn Petty is playing quarterback for the Terps, who have lost four QBs to season-ending injuries.
Florida State (9-1, 6-1) is a 31-point favorite, but coach Jimbo Fisher insists his players are taking nothing for granted.

The state government will not spare anyone involved in the violence that erupted after morphed images of Shivaji Maharaj, Babasaheb Ambedkar and Bal Thackeray were posted on Facebook, said Home minister RR Patil in the legislative council on Tuesday. He added that no cases will be withdrawn against those an FIR has already been registered for vandalism, riots and damaging properties.
Defaming posts on the social networking site had resulted in serious uproar in Maharashtra, leading to losses to the tune of Rs3.47 crore.
Shiv Sena MLC Ramdas Kadam demanded discussion on the issue on the floor of the house. MLCs Deepak Sawant and Neelam Gorhe demanded to know what the state government was doing to curb such instances and nail the culprits who posted the images on Facebook.
Patil informed the House that the police has registered cases against a total of 289 people on various charges of liking the post and forwarding it as well as of rioting and indulging in vandalism thereafter. He said the police are looking for more culprits and added that the government will not tolerate riots in name of activism, which ultimately create a problem for the public at large.
Patil also warned people not to 'like' or forward any such derogatory post on WhatsApp or Facebook and instead alert the nearest police station of it.
Five new cyber cells in state
To curb cyber crime in Maharashtra, the state government will start five new cyber investigation cells over and above the 43 existing ones. The state has plans to set up nine such cells, and five will be in Kolhapur (rural), Kolhapur (city), Nashik, Nagpur and Aurangabad. The cells will help the police take cognisance of such cases and nip them in the bud. The state police has 67 officers and 137 employees trained for cyber security.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE - A Gwinnett County judge Tuesday bounded to the State Supreme Court a case involving the shooting of two Gwinnett teens.Cleandre Lacey, 19, of Lawrenceville and 20-year-old Stephanie Brianna Buskey of Johnson City, Tenn., appeared at a 8:30 a.m. hearing before Gwinnett County Magistrate Judge Kristina Hammer Blum. Both are suspected in a March 17 shooting that killed 17-year-old Kenneth Brett Cunningham and injured 18-year-old Paul Theodore Mayhew. Lacey and Buskey were arrested last month after Gwinnett County investigators were led to believe the two were involved in a drug-related robbery turned shooting at Cunningham's home on Sundale Drive. Lacey is charged with felony murder, possession of a firearm during a crime and aggravated assault. Buskey faces felony murder, aggravated assault and armed robbery charges, according to arrest warrants. Police said the shooting occurred about 5:30 p.m. March 17. According to a police report, officers found Cunningham shot to death inside the home and Mayhew outside suffering from gunshot wounds. Cunningham was pronounced dead at the scene and Mayhew was transported to Gwinnett Medical Center. Police said Mayhew is still recovering. County Police Department Detective J.D. Smith, who testified in court Tuesday, said Cunningham had been in contact with Lacey about purchasing marijuana before the shooting took place. Smith said Mayhew, a friend of Cunningham, was called by Cunningham to help him with an alleged drug deal with Lacey and was shot while at the home. At this time Smith said he believes a fight took place at the Cunningham residence and shots were fired. Smith said Lacey and Buskey reportedly went to the home to steal marijuana. Buskey allegedly drove to the home and stayed in a vehicle outside while Lacey went inside. Smith said during the course of his investigation he learned Lacey and Buskey met with a group of at least four other men and discussed robbing Cunningham of marijuana before the March incident. "They (the men) said they declined to help with the robbery, but Buskey volunteered," Smith said. Smith said the investigation is far from over, and he is still working on retrieving some cell phone records and is waiting on forensic results. Lacey's attorney, Keith Martin, said he was content with the judge's decision. "I'm extremely pleased with what went on today," Martin said after the two-hour preliminary hearing. "The end result was not unexpected. We're going to have to sit down with Cleandre and the family and evaluate what we learned today. We got 1,000 questions answered and 800 to ask, and we're going to seek answers to those 800." Deputy Chief Assistant District Attorney Dan Mayfield said he was also satisfied. "I'm pleased that the court bound the case over," Mayfield said. "I'm sure today helped clarify the case further for the family and gets us one step closer to a trial." Some of Lacey's and Buskey's family were present at the morning hearing, but refused to talk about the case.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide

- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy

Selected short stories of William Dean Howells
Ohio University Press, 1997 - Fiction - 272 pages
The short stories of William Dean Howells have been largely unknown to the reading public, at least partly because of their general unavailability and because of the difficulties of identifying, among Howells's voluminous short writings, those that are clearly short stories. Selected Short Stories of William Dean Howells includes both the full texts of thirteen of Howells's stories, each preceded by a thorough critical analysis, and an annotated short story list identifying and discussing all of Howells's short stories. The book pays particular attention to the period after 1890, when Howells, both for personal and intellectual reasons, moved beyond realism to the fields of psychological realism and psychic romance. More than his novels or other writings, Howells's late stories reveal his fascination with psychology and his interest in psychic phenomena, especially those that seem to shed light on the question of immortality. These forgotten stories expose a side of Howells unknown to many Americanists.
