Arrival was simple, backdoor open, key on the counter, which gave us immediate access and time to arrive and unwind at our leisure. The private garden was lush and beautiful. The location is great, 30 minutes south from the airport in Kailua Kona, and driving distance to Volcanoes Nat'l Park and Hilo. Spectacular area in the immediate vicinity. Of note is the busy road Mamalahoa Hwy just above it and a workshop just across the driveway. We adjusted to both but they were a surprise. Kelly was a great host, we had a nice visit and then we were left to enjoy ourselves. Lovely bed and beautiful floors.
We loved staying in the sugar shack! It's the perfect size for two people, has everything you could possibly need including cable TV and wifi, and is completely lovely inside (it looks even nicer in real life than in the pictures!). The garden is beautiful and full of fruit trees (avocado and macadamia nut!) and the sweetest cat named Pong. Kelly and Kim are super nice and helpful, and gave us great suggestions on hikes, golf courses, and restaurants. We loved the location, near excellent snorkeling spots. Definitely recommend it.
Kelly welcomed us warmly to the Sugar Shack, and before we even arrived had given us good directions and the lay of the land so we could find anything we needed locally. Our hosts gave us lots of space, but were almost immediately available if we needed anything at all. The hale was clean, comfortable, and exactly as pictured on the site. It was a great place to eat our breakfast on the lanai (while watching the local birds play in the water fountain!) and a great place to come home to at the end of our daily adventures. Beach towels were provided, and chairs and snorkel gear were available (but we didn't need them). We had a very restful stay. Just be sure to bring earplugs for the invasive coqui frogs (found everywhere on the Big Island) which like to sing loudly through the night! Would definitely recommend and come again!
We were so pleased with the Ke'ei Sugar Shack 2. It was a beautifully built structure with fine touches. The floors were gorgeous! The cottage was comfortable and cozy with the elegance of the travertine bathroom. The garden areas were (website hidden) welcomed us and upon further inspection there was a yummy loaf of banana bread in the refrigerator as well as a jar of their very own Kona coffee beans and a grinder. All our dealings with Kelly were timely, professional yet full of aloha. We enjoyed meeting her and chatting since she was formerly from California and we shared many experiences.
The "shack" had all the necessary supplies in the kitchen, with the washer and dryer and for water fun. So well-equipped.
We will definitely come back when we return to the Big Island. The location was so great as it was out of the Kona environment and in a country setting yet close to the good snorkeling spots. Aloha Kelly and Kim.
We had a great time in the sugar shack. It looks just like in the pictures. It was located a bit further south than we expected, but when we got to know the area we were very pleased. There is a lot of stores and sights in the area, but a car is needed to get there.
It feels like a home and good place to relax away from the the areas with most tourists.
We did not meet our host as they were out of town, but we had very good contact via mail. Based on that I would say Kelly was a great host. We got a long welcome mail a day or two before our arrival with info, driving directions etc. She also left beach equipment for us to borrow.
We had a great time and would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for something else than big resorts.
Kelly and Kim were terrific hosts! They were very responsive and recommended great tips that made our trip so easy and very enjoyable but also gave us all the space we wanted. It was so enjoyable getting to know them, what good people! -wish I had more time visiting. They were so gracious and even left us a box of delicious goodies from the farm. I would return to their property in a heartbeat.
The cabin looks like the pictures - very charming, comfortable, updated, and was perfect for two people. We loved having the kitchenette as it saved a lot of money and had everything we needed to cook daily meals. It was a little snug but included a full size refrigerator and a nice big, deep sink . In searching for a place I'd notice other pictures showed sinks that looked like mini sinks or there were mini frig's and once our week got started I REALLY appreciated having the normal size appliances. On the two-burner, I wasn't sure how well I'd do with it but it was really easy.
Location was really good. We were away from the touristy spots, about a 20-30 min drive, and it was a really nice relief to leave them and come "home" to peaceful surroundings. But we were close enough to everything we wanted to do - snorkeling, paddle boarding, etc. ... The farm itself was lovely and full of delicious fruit, nuts, and coffee, and so much more.
Any heads-ups? Loved the serenity of the cabin and it's setting, however, it got the run of the mill cabin smell if closed up for too long (when we were gone all day). Road noise can be heard really easily if the front windows are open. But close them and it was like you were in your own world again. The only other heads up are the speed bumps in the driveway. If you're busy admiring the surroundings and not paying attention it's easy to trip over them because there are no markings and they blend right in so well you forget to pick up your feet higher than usual in spots. Of course, almost "biting it" is also a good way to train your eye to watch out for them! ;-)
All in all, this was a great experience for us ESPECIALLY since this was only my second time using ABNB and my first time handling all the arrangements from start to finish and traveling with my teen without another adult. I give the Sugar Shack and Kelly and Kim a big thumbs up!
The sugar shack was everything we had hoped for and more. A beautiful 1 bedroom place. It does not have a stove but a plug-in hot plate with 2 burners that worked perfectly fine. Everything needed was there and it was obvious that our hosts put some thought into supplying the sugar "shack" with anything a visitor would need. Kelly also offered us some fresh fruit from their home and both Kelly and Kim provided a warm welcome and great advice on hikes and snorkeling locations. We ended up preparing the majority of our meals at the shack, which definitely saved us quite a bit of money. Location of the shack is also great. A 10 minute drive to ocean and less than 2 hr drive to Mauna Kea and Volcanoes park. Overall, we were quite happy with the place and would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends as well! Thanks so much for the wonderful home during our stay.

For many of us, the mere thought of a well deserved holiday or vacation in the summer, is an extremely welcoming and enjoyable one indeed. Many of us work hard for most of the year, and apart from weekends, or indeed a couple of days off during the week instead, we get very little time to just relax, unwind, and have a little time to ourselves, not having to worry about the trials and tribulations of everyday life. When we are fortunate enough then, to find and book a holiday in the sun, or indeed wherever we like for that matter, we need to make the entire process as relaxing, as easy, and as stress free as we possibly can. Did you know that the lead up to a holiday, and the first couple of nights you are there, are statistically far more stressful than your normal, working days back at home? The reasons for this are mainly down to the fact that so many people leave things until the last minute, and fail to get organized with plenty of time to spare. Failing to get organized and leaving things until the last minute, is a recipe for disaster, and has the potential to actually ruin your entire holiday, leaving you miserable due to the fact that the hard earned money you spent on your holiday, will have basically have been wasted.
In order to make your life as easy, and stress free as is humanly possible, then you need to get yourself organised for your holiday, as efficiently as you possibly can, and in this article, we'll be sharing five tips to help you do just that.
Check your passport, double check it, and store it in a safe place
Before you even book your holiday, you need to ensure that your passport is indeed up to date, and therefore valid. If it isn't, then renew it, and get it up to date before you go any further. Check the date it's valid until, and then check it again to be sure. Once you're happy that is in date now, until well after you're thinking of having your holiday, you can then book the actual holiday itself. Once you've checked your passport, put it somewhere safe that you know you'll remember in the future. You could even make a note on your phone, or in your diary, of the location of your, and everybody elses passports for that matter too.
Ensure you leave any stresses or worries behind you
If there is something in particular which is bothering you, then if at all possible, try to sort it out before you head away on holiday. If you have any loose ends, either work, financial, or personally related, then try to tie them up as quickly as you possibly can. If you want a stress free holiday, then if at all possible, you should try your hardest to tie up any loose ends before leaving. If it means you have to spend extra time in the office, or even around the home, then you should just bite the bullet, and get it done. Once it's sorted and therefore out of the way, you can then relax knowing that you have peace of mind, and that you'll soon be sat on a hot sunny beach somewhere.
Make sure your cases aren't over packed
Every single day, airlines face delays and unnecessary hassle, due to the fact that holiday makers over pack their luggage cases, go over the legal maximum weight limit, and therefore have to remove items and make adjustments, or are simply refused permission to board the aircraft. If you're unsure about just how much stuff you should actually take, then you should do your research, and try to make sure that your luggage cases aren't over packed and too full. Choosing a light luggage case for example, will allow you a little leeway in regards to the weight of the case, and if you take your time and try to organise it, you'd be surprised by just how much you can actually fit into each one.
Do your research and plan an itinerary before you leave
Rather than just adopting a "see how you feel" approach, why not take the time to do a little research on the area you're staying at, and plan a few things to do once you get there. That's the great thing about the internet. You can plan your entire holiday before even boarding an aeroplane or boat. Look for attractions close by, along with restaurants, beaches, bars, clubs, and shops perhaps. You can then make up a rough itinerary, so you know exactly what you're doing on each particular day. This doesn't have to be set in stone, and you certainly don't have to stick to it religiously if you don't want. It will however, help add a sense of organisation, so rather than wasting time deciding on what to do on each day, you can simply get up, have breakfast, and be on your way.

He started high school this year and immediately the issue has presented itself. He's having trouble keeping up with notes, teachers reading his work, his self-esteem as he compares himself to his peers, and a bias toward beautiful handwriting.
We're considering having him staffed or at least getting him on a 504 plan.
For contextual reasons here's some background: he's 14 years old, makes honor roll typically, and is taking all honors and one AP class this year. He goes to a high school for the performing arts and he's in the Theatre track. He adores the school, and I'm not concerned about grades as much as I am concerned about teachers making comments about his handwriting.
Any experience or thoughts?
It's really not hard to get a 504 plan in place. He just needs access to a laptop/computer with a printer for his written work. That's what we did for the student I had.
If they want to do an IEP, I'd pressure them about why: usually, IEPs come with funding where 504s don't. And although a parent can now dissolve an IEP, that's a relatively new thing (as of early 2009). 504s are much easier to deal with in that respect.
Heather - Wife , Mommy & Health & Wellness Educator, Speaker & Consultant
Let me guide you to find the food and lifestyle choices that fit your family...
My son's teacher recently recomended a 504 for him because of his dysgraphia (though she did not call it that). Do you know of any reason this could adversely affect him in the future? I have read a couple of your posts and really appreciate your concern for that particular student. My son is in 5th grade and I have had a couple of teachers who detered us from testing. I dont feel like an IEP would have been appropriate for him but his handwriting is really becoming an issue now. Thanks
Yeah, It can really become a problem as the child gets older. The accommodations are very easy, things like a copy of the notes or the power point presentations, allowing them to record lectures, having a computer in class to type notes. Extra time on written exams. Only having to print (I still can not write in cursive).
All these things are easy accommodations, and I never had any repercussions. I really do not have problems now, but I still only print. And while my handwriting is legible, it will never be "pretty."
In elementary, I was given a written calendar with the homework assignments, so I did not have to copy them from the board and I was allowed to do short answers instead of full sentences on tests. I was also allowed to print everything.
In high school, I got copies of the transparencies, to add my noted to, and access to the computer lab for writing assignments. By the time I got to college, my only accom was a copy of every power point presentation (which I could have done without, but I was lazy).
I can say I really struggled, and I hated being told I had "boy handwriting." I never had and IEP, so the accoms were up to the teacher. An IEP would make the accoms MANDATORY for the teacher. The IEPs can be removed later if they are no longer a problem.
I had your kid (figuratively, of course) as a student. It enraged me to no end that *I* was the first person bringing this problem up. Most of the teachers were just giving him "A"s on his written work because they assumed it was right based on his test scores (not much writing on those--so it was objective).
It's really not hard to get a 504 plan in place. He just needs access to a laptop/computer with a printer for his written work. That's what we did for the student I had.
If they want to do an IEP, I'd pressure them about why: usually, IEPs come with funding where 504s don't. And although a parent can now dissolve an IEP, that's a relatively new thing (as of early 2009). 504s are much easier to deal with in that respect.
I am not following- why no IEP? I would think the school would want to test/evaluate and if parents provide dr. dx they would try to find the right type of accommodations to fit student's needs. My ds has an IEP and he has dyslexia and dysgraphia (although the school does not label). 1/2 of his IEP is dedicated to writing. He can have staff write lengthy answers for him on exams, notes/dictation, and papers. He also gets double time for tests. He works with a special ed teacher for a portion of the day on "writing", but she wants to change his goal to learning to type. Because he has 4 teachers in 6th grade and will only have more as he gets older, we like having the IEP because it helps the teachers set reasonable expectations for his abilities and disabilities.
Having either an IEP or 504 plan is going to be helpful at mitigating some of the impacts of dysgraphia, especially in secondary school (and college). The expectations for written work will only go up, up, up, and will make nearly all subjects more difficult (Aside from traditional "writing", I've noticed it even affects math work--and math teachers can be surprisingly picky about the "neatness" of written work). Having something in writing makes it much easier to communicate with multiple teachers who will all have different beliefs/ideas about the relative merits of writing and penmanship relative to their subject areas.
Other people have mentioned some of the accommodations that are typical with dysgraphia: reducing some of writing demands, allowing more time for written responses, or alternative response formats.
Dysgraphia doesn't "go away" and the need for learning strategies and coping mechanisms is usually lifelong. Having documentation of the condition will not hurt in any way that I can imagine, and even in post-secondary/workplace settings, it might be useful. It's particularly helpful to have some sort of precedent in place before attempting to seek accommodations in college (where the writing demands are fearsome compared to anything encountered prior to that).

McCoy sees Ladarius Green on the rise
Green figures to improve, and McCoy seems to have big plans for him.
Consider that Green's second NFL season walloped the sophomore year of another speedy but raw tight end, Julius Thomas, in 2012.
Thomas, a former basketball player, didn't play football at Portland State until his final season. For the NFL's Broncos, he caught no passes in 2012 and only one as a rookie.
His offensive coordinator those years was McCoy. Last year, Thomas broke out for 65 catches, 788 yards and 12 touchdowns. McCoy surely noticed Thomas morphing into a star. The 6-foot-5 tight end keyed both victories over the Chargers. He caught a 74-yard pass in Game 9 at San Diego and, sorry to bring this up, sealed the Divisional Playoff victory by converting 3rd-and-17 (when the confused Chargers neglected to cover him).
Julius Thomas' jump from zero catches to Pro Bowler raised the question of whether the Broncos should have targeted him more in 2012. Peyton Manning is a big part of the answer. He was reacclimating to the NFL and adjusting to a new team. He trusted two veteran tight ends, among them former Colts teammate Jacob Tamme. It worked out well. The Broncos won the AFC West with a 13-3 record.
Green, 23, is two years younger than Thomas. I'm not saying a Pro Bowl season is on the horizon. Thomas has rare agility to go with good speed. But the faster Green is coming off an 18-game season that won him the No. 20 spot in the "U-T 22" rankings. He averaged 22.1 yards per catch in the regular season off 17 receptions. The needle is moving in the right direction.

Defense suppliers seek to cut costs
A satellite image of the Pentagon building.
BILL RADKE: Boeing and Lockheed Martin both announced major cost-cutting moves this week. And why would that be? Well apparently, these defense industry giants believe the Pentagon when it says it will cut spending significantly.
Marketplace's Nancy Marshall Genzer reports.
NANCY MARSHALL GENZER: There's lots of pressure on the Obama administration to cut the budget deficit. And non-defense spending has already been pared down.
GORDON ADAMS: So that puts defense squarely in the bull's eye.
Gordon Adams is a defense industry analyst with the Stimson Center. He says procurement spending will be targeted first. The Pentagon won't buy as many new bombers or ships. So suppliers are tightening their belts.
ADAMS: Industry is beginning to lay off people, is beginning to look to areas where they can sell off pieces of their business.
About 25 percent of Lockheed Martin's senior managers have taken early retirements. Boeing is consolidating its military aircraft business.
Todd Harrison is with the Center for Strategic and Budetary Assessments. He says the defense industry as a whole is trying to get into non-military ventures.
TODD HARRISON: A lot of the technologies the defense companies have could be applied to other civil government agencies -- things like NASA, FAA.
Harrison expects defense spending to slide for the next ten to 15 years.
In Washington, I'm Nancy Marshall Genzer for Marketplace.

Last week on May 3, there were meetings, conferences, seminars, symposiums and demonstrations across the world to mark the World Press Freedom day. I was invited by UNESCO for a conference on "Rural Voices: Upholding Freedom of Expression through Mainstream and Alternative Media," where the Press Freedom Report for South Asia for 2012-13 was released. The common thread that connected multiple events of May 3 — the proceedings of the UNESCO conference in New Delhi, Prof. C.P. Chandrasekhar's Larry Pinkham Memorial lecture in Chennai, the deliberations of various other conferences from Washington to Sydney — was the recognition of media as Public Good, and from that premise, the larger mediascape was critically scrutinised.
Imprisoned Ethiopian journalist Reeyot Alemu was awarded the 2013 UNESCO-Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize. The prize recognises her "exceptional courage, resistance and commitment" to freedom of expression. She was charged with "terrorism offences" on June 2012, under the vaguely worded and broad-reaching Anti-Terrorism law, passed by the regime in 2009. But, a closer reading clearly reveals that she was jailed for her exceptional journalism.
Alemu's case is not an isolated one. The agency of journalists to push the envelope and the wider public's demand for credible, trustworthy news sources are the positive development. On the flip side, there is a real fear of casting away the hard-won freedoms, and, as its extension, a vibrant, common forum for dialogue and debate is under severe strain. The challenges come from multiple sources.
The most disheartening development is that promises are broken with impunity and there is no real corrective mechanism. According to Annie Game, Executive Director, IFEX, "The bad news is that in much of the world, a free press remains a dream. That's not new, but it bears repeating, even in established democracies where press freedom is often taken for granted. Issues of media ownership and political interference are always factors to consider. In some cases, media abuses by a few have led to proposed limitations on press freedom more generally. In yet others, powerful crime syndicates are making a mockery of the laws that purportedly protect media. And in several of the newest democracies, after the excitement of governments and tyrants overthrown, after constitutions drafted in the noblest of language, after the international press has moved on to other stories, and those fledgling democracies are put to the test — we are seeing press freedom among the first casualties."
In South Asia
Closer home, the truth hurts more. The situation in South Asia is really grim. This newspaper has documented many of the acts of violation of freedom of expression in innumerable articles and reports. The UNESCO-IFJ's 2012-13 report gives us no comfort.
It says: "Physical safety has again been justifiably recognised as a requirement for press freedom and a priority in a region which remains one of the most dangerous for journalists to operate in. In Nepal and Sri Lanka, violence against journalists and the media has been a disturbingly recurrent phenomenon over the past twelve months. Prolonged internal warfare, now formally declared over in both countries, presented serious challenges for independent journalism while a blanket of impunity for violent acts committed during the war continues and political settlement remains elusive."
The report documents a key media commentator's observation that "in Sri Lanka 'standards' applicable in the past deteriorating to the extent that journalists are being looked at more with ridicule, than with esteem." And in Nepal, an International Media Mission identified increasing media ownership by political parties in 2012, as a key constraint in quality improvement. Even the selection of editors, the mission found, had "become subject of political deals and bargaining."
On India
The report's section on India is not flattering either. It observes, "fear of adverse consequences from a number of exaggerated accounts of communal violence in neighbouring Myanmar — and unrelated outbreaks in the north-eastern state of Assam — led to a number of websites and blogs being blocked. A cartoonist was charged with sedition amid much public outrage. He was quickly discharged but a number of journalists facing charges of criminal conspiracy under antiterrorism law have not fared so well."
It warns of an uncertain period ahead: "Industry fortunes went into freefall with the global economic meltdown of September 2008, but recovered within a year with strong stimulus measures kicking in. Advertising growth in the Indian economy picked up momentum in the following years, but in 2012 may have hit a slump. Projections show that the growth rate has fallen from the buoyant double digit figures of the years following 2003, to a relatively modest single digit."
In his message, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon termed the attack on journalists as "an assault on the right of all people to truth" and expressed his anguish that "many of the perpetrators escape any form of punishment." He rightly declared: "When it is safe to speak, the whole world benefits."

County GOP, Islamic group, adoptions, debt reduction and more
As a longtime Chicano educator, it brings me great sadness to read of the recent appointment of a "Hispanic," Francis Barraza, as executive director of the Republican Party of San Diego ("GOP picks Latina to lead local party," UTSanDiego.com, Jan. 8). It's a tragedy for our entire Chicano community when a law-school-educated Latina aligns herself with a political party that supports blatantly racist policies in education, immigration, social services, etc. Unfortunately, it is reminiscent of African American Ward Connerly amassing a personal fortune by selling himself to Republican interests.
The brainwashing and internalized colonialism suffered by Ms. Barraza is somewhat understandable given that her father was a conservative Marine "who was a big fan of Ronald Reagan." Reagan's educational and social service policies as president set back our Chicano community's progress by decades.
Despite our recent gains in the November election, this situation serves notice that Chicanos have a long way to go in our struggle to eradicate the effects of racism and colonialism in our community. – Patrick Velasquez, co-chair, San Diego Chicano/Latino Concilio
Thank you for giving Ufuk Gokcen, ambassador and permanent representative of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), a platform to report on that organization's recent activities ("Hope, despair for women in Islamic states," Opinion, Jan. 10). It is most encouraging to see that the OIC has identified the problem posed by those who pretend that Islam is and should remain subject to outdated and ignorant tribal customs. The eradication of polio, female genital mutilation and the perception that Islam is incompatible with universal human rights principles are all great goals that have the potential to eliminate much human misery. To the extent the OIC succeeds in educating Muslims about their own religion, the world will be a healthier, more harmonious place.
It is most unfortunate that the Islamists, who resist all three of those goals, remain the most obvious and frequent representatives of Islam to our society at this time. The OIC has the potential to change that situation, provided always they are not screened out by a media that prefers to report on bloody crimes an the views of the extremists who commit them. – Valerie E. Alexander, San Diego
I (a Caucasian) was a foster parent to a little African American boy for one year before he went back to his mother. Now I am in the process of adopting a child through our foster system, though the child is not yet in my home.
I could never understand the expense and distance that people would go to, to adopt a child from Russia. When I read Ginger Robyn's letter (Jan. 8), explaining that the people she knew doing that wanted a Caucasian child to match their own ethnicity, I thought, how sad. For some reason, that had never occurred to me when there are so many children in our system that need a home. For the huge cost of international adoption, one could do a private domestic adoption of a Caucasian baby if that is the preference. The potential problems inherent in adopting children from other countries are no different than those in our own system. – Melanie Ross, North Park

Mount Airy's Memorial Day Service kept its focus on the personal Monday along with its traditional rifle volley salute and the placing of the wreath by the City Honor Guard.
Mayor Deborah Cochran read a proclamation which thanked participants for helping the city honor those "who loved country more than self." Cochran said everyone is forever indebted to veterans for their sacrifice of love.
"Memorial Day represents one day of national awareness and remembrance of how Americans have died defending its values," said Cochran after the presentation of colors by City Honor Guard Members Kyle James, Brian Emlinger, Brad Harrell and Jody Seaver. "Defending its ideals have required sacrifice from every generation. Americans stand with the families who grieve."
The featured speaker for the service was retired Technical Sgt. Monroe Donathan, who served in the United States Air Force Intelligence Command.
"We were trained to never start a speech with an apology or a joke, if you were already not good at telling one," said Donathan. "We will proceed from there." He talked about retired Air Force Lt. Col. David Hatcher, who who spent nearly seven years as a prisoner of war in Hanoi after his plane was downed in 1966.
Donathan described Hatcher as "a quiet man who lives on Grace Street and has paid his dues." He described how Hatcher took off from an air base in Thailand in 1966, was shot down and was taken prisoner. He told the audience how the Silver Star recipient had distinguished himself with gallantry under his captors who ignored international law to interrogate him.
"Ask Col. Hatcher how he did this and he'll say he got the strength from Almighty God, our commander in the sky," Donathan said. He next talked about the late Norman Webb.
He explained Webb was a part of the Fourth Division who landed at Utah Beach on D-Day in World War II.
"He was wounded several times but kept on fighting," said Donathan. "This old country boy from West Virginia who was moved to the Cana (Virginia) area by his parents knew duty, honor and country and knew nothing about surrender." He said Webb later returned to the area and held several jobs, including being one of those who helped build a scenic Blue Ridge Parkway bridge over U.S. 52.
Donathan said Webb eventually wound up being a truck driver for a Martinsville, Virginia, trucking company owned by Roy Stone.
"I believed Norman Webb learned a lot from Roy Stone," Donathan said. "He later built his own company as a partner in H&W Trucking and he owned a leasing company for trailers for the trucks. He was a quiet, unassuming man. Always ready to pass credit on to someone else."
Elizabeth Martin sang the National Anthem and "God Bless America" during the service. Donathan and Cochran assisted the City Honor Guard in the placing of the wreath. "Taps" was played by the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Memorial Honor Guard, Mount Airy Post 2019 and VFW Memorial Honor Guard, Pilot Mountain Post 9436.
Notables in attendance included Representative Sarah Stevens, County Commissioner "Buck" Golding, Sheriff Graham Atkinson, Mount Airy Fire Chief Zane Poindexter, Mayor Pro Tem Steve Yokeley and City Commissioners Shirley Brinkley, Jim Armbrister and Dean Brown.

Grammar Instruction
grammar, description of the structure of a language, consisting of the sounds (see phonology); the meaningful combinations of these sounds into words or parts of words, called morphemes; and the arrangement of the morphemes into phrases and sentences, called syntax. School grammars for the speakers of a standard language (e.g., English grammars for English-speaking students) are not descriptive but prescriptive, that is, they are rule books of what is considered correct. Such grammars have popularized many unsound notions because they often fail to take into account common usage and they do not differentiate language styles and levels, such as formal or colloquial; standard, nonstandard, or substandard; or dialect differences.
Morphemes may have lexical meaning, as the word bird, or syntactic meaning, as the plural –s (see inflection; etymology). Words are minimal free forms, but a word may contain more than one morpheme. For example, treatment contains two, treat and the derivational noun-forming suffix -ment. In traditional grammar, parts of speech are defined semantically, i.e., a noun is a person, place, or thing; but in linguistic morphology, parts of speech are defined according to their syntactic function: The difference between nouns and verbs is that they cannot appear in the same environment in a sentence. One method of language classification is based on structure; languages are classified according to the degree of synthesis, or the number of morphemes per word. Analytic languages, such as Chinese, have only one morpheme per word, while in synthetic languages one word represents more than one morpheme; in the case of some Native American languages, a single word may have so many morphemes that it is the equivalent of an English sentence. The list of morphemes and their meanings (see semantics) in a language is usually not part of a grammar but is isolated in a dictionary or vocabulary.
In syntax, units larger than morphemes, such as phrases and sentences, are isolated in manner that reflects a hierarchical structure; thus the sentence "My sister Mary slowly took the cake from the shelf" would have as primary constitutents "My sister Mary" and "slowly took the cake from the shelf." Each primary constituent then may be broken down into a series of hierarchical secondary constituents. The analysis of syntax is also concerned with the ordering of the grammatical sequences within the phrase, with agreement between concomitant entities (i.e., agreement of number and gender between subject and verb, noun and pronoun), and with case, as mandated by the position and function of a word within a sentence. Other aspects of syntax include such sentence transformations as negativization, interrogation, coordination, subordination, passivization and relativization.
The first attempts to study grammar began in about the 4th cent. BC, in India with Panini's grammar of Sanskrit and in Greece with Plato's dialogue Cratylus. The Greeks, and later the Romans, approached the study of grammar through philosophy. Concerned only with the study of their own language and not with foreign languages, early Greek and Latin grammars were devoted primarily to defining the parts of speech. The biblical commentator Rashi attempted to decipher the rules of ancient Hebrew grammar. It was not until the Middle Ages that grammarians became interested in languages other than their own. The scientific grammatical analysis of language began in the 19th cent. with the realization that languages have a history; this led to attempts at the genealogical classification of languages through comparative linguistics. Grammatical analysis was further developed in the 20th cent. and was greatly advanced by the theories of structural linguistics and transformational-generative grammar (see linguistics).
See N. Chomsky, Aspects of the Theory of Syntax (1965) and Knowledge of Language: Its Nature, Origin and Use (1986); R. W. Langacker, Language and Its Structure (2d ed. 1973); F. J. Newmeyer, Grammatical Theory (1983); V. C. Cook, Chomsky's Universal Grammar (1988).

The BFG to become live action movie
Kenneth Branagh directs one of 2011's most successful films in this epic fantasy action adventure based on the Marvel Comics superhero of the title name. At the center of the story is The Mighty Thor (Chris Hemsworth), a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. As a result, Thor's father Odin (Anthony Hopkins) banishes him to Earth, where he's forced to live among humans. When the most dangerous villain of his world sends its darkest forces to invade Thor's new home, he learns what it takes to be a true hero. Rounding out the superb cast of Thor are actors Tom Hiddleston, Natalie Portman, Jaimie Alexander, Kat Dennings, Idris Elba, Rene Russo & Stellan Skarsgard.
Roald Dahl's children's book 'The BFG' is set to be turned into a live-action movie.
Dreamworks has reportedly got the rights to the film, which is set to be produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall ('The Bourne Ultimatum'), with 'E.T.' writer Melissa Mathison in line to transform the novel into a big screen hit.
The children's tome, which was first published in 1982, tells the story of a girl named Sophie - whose character was inspired by the author's granddaughter Sophie Dahl - and her friendship with the Big Friendly Giant.
There are no actors or a director confirmed to be starring in the forthcoming motion picture and a release date is yet to be announced.
It is not the first time the book has been turned into a movie as an animated version of 'The BFG' previously hit screens in 1989, and saw British actor David Jason provide the voice of the titular character with Amanda Root taking on the role of Sophie.
A number of Roald's other books have also been mimed for the big screen including 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', 'James and the Giant Peach' and 'Fantastic Mr. Fox'.

In this tort case, the appellate court affirmed a dismissal order finding a pro se plaintiff to be a "vexatious litigant," which according to Florida Statute § 68.093, includes a pro se litigant "who, in the immediately preceding 5-year period, has commenced, prosecuted, or maintained, pro se, five or more civil actions in any court in this state, except an action governed by the Florida Small Claims Rules, which actions have been finally and adversely determined against such person or entity."

Ferrer To Meet Nishikori In Fourth Round After Win Over Baghdatis
Melbourne, Australia
by ATP Staff|
Fourth seed David Ferrer, who lifted his 19th ATP World Tour trophy at the Heineken Open in Auckland last week, maintained his early season form with a 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 win over No. 28 Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus at the Australian Open on Friday night.
"Tonight, it was my best match of the week," said Ferrer. "I'm very happy to win in three sets against Marcos. It is difficult."
Ferrer will next look to reverse a 1-2 FedEx ATP Head2Head record against World No. 18 Kei Nishikori, who beat the Spaniard at the London 2012 Olympics.
"It's a very difficult match," said Ferrer. "I will have to play very well for to beat him. I will have to play similar to tonight – consistent, solid. It's going to be a very physical match, because he has very good shots."
TV Schedule | Launch Live Scores
Earlier in the day, Nishikori booked a place in the fourth round for the second year in a row, when he eased past Evgeny Donskoy 7-6(3), 6-2, 6-3.
"I think I played well in important games," said Nishikori, who reached the 2012 quarter-finals. "It wasn't easy to play today with the wind. [In] the last couple games, I played really well and [was] more confident in my play. So I think I'm in good shape."
Nishikori finished 2012 inside the Top 20 of the Emirates ATP Rankings for the first time, highlighted by winning his home event at the Rakuten Japan Open Tennis Championships in Tokyo (d. Raonic).

Tomer HanukaJuxtapoz // Thursday, October 25, 2007
A while ago we came across an illustration for The Life of Pi by London-based artist Tomer Hanuka that blew our freakin' mind. We kept it quiet. Many people in the illustration biz already know who he is, but we wanted to see where he would go. Now, with our linework renaissance, we would be remiss if we didn't point out how great his work is. He always starts by hand, with brush and ink, and finishes up the color with a computer. You need to know this guy's work. He's one of the best. And since we last checked in on him, he's only gotten better. Don't just take our word for it, go scope his site at www.thanuka.com. He's also got a process blog that he shares with his brother Asaf, who's also an illustrator, at tropicaltoxic.blogspot.com.

RH9 nforce driver problems
I have just installed Red Hat 9 (2.4.20-8 kernel) on my Shuttle SN41G2 computer (Shuttle FN41 motherboard) and was able to get the audio component and network card working with the linux driver with the NVIDIA_nforce_1.0-0248.tar.gz package.
I upgraded my RH9 kernel to 2.4.20-9 and the network card refused to be recognised after applying the nforce drivers.
After looking through the messages in this forum it would seem that the latest driver is NOT on the "Linux and FreeBSD Drivers" page on the nvidia site (
) and that there is a later driver NVIDIA_nforce_1.0-0256.tar.gz available.
I attempted to compile the NVIDIA_nforce_1.0-0256.tar.gz drivers and this time the network component compiled and installed and the network card is now operating correctly but the audio component failed to compile with the following messages:
nvcrush.c: In function `Nvaudio_mmapwrite':
nvcrush.c:426: warning: passing arg 1 of `remap_page_range_R2baf18f2' makes pointer from integer without a cast
nvcrush.c:426: incompatible type for argument 4 of `remap_page_range_R2baf18f2'
nvcrush.c:426: too few arguments to function `remap_page_range_R2baf18f2'

make[2]: *** [nvcrush.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [nvaudio_make] Error 2
First the nvidia linux drivers page needs to be updated to point to the latest driver, and does anyone know why the audio component fails to compile?

As of Tuesday, May 15, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
Rachel Cuffy had an outstanding senior season for the Rockdale track and field team, and it got a little better recently. Cuffy, who at the Class AAAA state track and field meet in Albany finished third in the 200 meters (24.68), and fourth in both the long jump (17-11) and 100 meters (12.01), signed an athletic scholarship with Cowley Community College (Kansas).
Rockdale coach DeMarquis Terry said he expects Cuffy to sign with a Division I school after her two years at Cowley.
"She will accomplish great things at the next level and will sign with a Division I institution in two years," Terry said. "Rachel Cuffy is ... a rare athlete and will do great at Cowley. I think getting her to a new environment was the best fit for her going forward with her career."
Last Thursday, Cuffy joined teammate Kree Clark (Jacksonville University) in signing track scholarships.
"The thing that people don't realize is that these girls are great people, very coachable and they just grow on you," Terry said of Cuffy and Clark. "That's what I think the college coaches like about them."
Cowley, based in Arkansas City, Kansas, had won five straight Jayhawk Conference Eastern Division outdoor track and field titles before placing third in 2012.

Blatter appalled at racist incident in Milan-Roma
Updated: May 13, 2013, 1:36 PM ETAssociated Press
MILAN -- FIFA president Sepp Blatter was "appalled" when he learned of the racist chanting that caused AC Milan's match against Roma to be suspended.
Sunday's game was stopped for 97 seconds during the second half when visiting Roma supporters would not stop chanting at Milan players Mario Balotelli and Kevin-Prince Boateng. The league fined Roma 50,000 Euros, equivalent to almost $65,000, on Monday.
"Appalled to read about racist abuse in Serie A last night," Blatter tweeted Monday. ...

25 days of holiday treats: 2007's No. 5
Jack Ussery's most requested recipe during the holidays is for his Top Secret Fudge.
Most of Ussery's adult life was spent in food service, a trade he learned as a ship's cook for the U.S. Navy, from which he retired in 1968.
An avid outdoorsman, Ussery wrote, "Hunters need sweet things, too, and there are not many sweet things in the bush."
"Be sure you tell friends you spent half a day in the kitchen making this just for them. Don't let them know it took you less than 10 minutes."
JACK USSERY'S TOP SECRET FUDGE (just declassified)
1 pound box powdered sugar
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup cocoa
3/4 stick of butter
1/4 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 tablespoon dark Karo syrup
1 cups pecans or walnuts, chopped
Spray a 9-by-9 inch throw away aluminum pan with Pam. Set aside. Place everything except the nuts in a two-quart, non-metal container and microwave for two minutes. Stir. Repeat for two more minutes. Stir again. Return to microwave for one more minute. Everything should be melted and should smell like fudge. Mix well. Microwave one minute more, taking care to not let it boil over. Stir again.
Place nuts in microwave for 1½ minutes to heat so they don't cool the candy too much. Mix nuts in fudge mixture. Scrape fudge into pan. Cool partially in refrigerator. Remove and slice while still a little warm. Cool a second time until firm and slice again, if desired.
If you would like to have your recipe considered for the "25 Days of Holiday Treats" send it by email to Stephanie Jordan at email@example.com. Please include your name and where you are from

Video: Clarion CZ702 CD Receiver
Zak Billmeier grew up in southern Vermont and coastal Maine. After graduating from Mary Washington College with a Geography degree he still isn't sure quite what to do with, he eventually settled in the mountains of Central Virginia. He spends his free time chasing his daughter around, taking pictures, gardening and cooking. Zak traces the roots of his interest in electronic gadgets to the Casio wristwatch with a built-in calculator he received as a gift one year as a child. He joined Crutchfield's car A/V team in 2007.

Salton Sea fingered as culprit of big Calif. stink
SANTA ANA, Calif. After a day of "odor surveillance" and other scent-based sleuthing, Southern California air quality investigators confirmed Tuesday what they had already expected - that a pungent, rotten-egg aroma that stretched across the region came from the Salton Sea.
Investigators from the South Coast Air Quality Management District collected air samples, modeled weather patterns and measured hydrogen sulfide levels to determine that Monday's stench came from the saltwater lake 150 miles southeast of Los Angeles, as strong winds from a storm churned the water and stirred up foul-smelling gasses from the lake bottom, where they normally are trapped.
A recent fish die-off was likely a contributing factor, said Andrew Schlange, general manager at the Salton Sea Authority.
"We now have solid evidence that points to the Salton Sea as the source of a very large and unusual odor event," AQMD Executive Officer Barry Wallerstein said in a statement.
Wallerstein said the agency sent technicians trained to gauge the severity of smells across the agency's four-county jurisdiction, where they conducted "odor surveillance."
The air samples showed that levels of hydrogen sulfide, which has an unmistakable rotten-egg odor, were highest around the lake and grew weaker at bigger distances.
Modeling showed that a massive thunderstorm could have churned up bacteria and released the stench into the air, where it became trapped by low-hanging clouds.
The smell was strongest in the Riverside County town of Mecca, which had far worse problems Tuesday as torrential rains caused flooding in some areas.
Investigators also ruled out other possible causes like landfills or oil refineries.
The AQMD never had any other significant candidates for the odor's cause, but they and others familiar with the sea still had doubts the wind could carry the stench more than 100 miles, through Riverside and San Bernardino counties through Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley and all the way to Ventura County on California's Central Coast.
"The problem I'm having is the magnitude of the area that was covered by the odor itself," Schlange said earlier Tuesday. "But I guess it can happen under the right conditions, and we had those conditions, apparently, the other night.
"What happened gives us an opportunity to let people know that the Salton Sea is dying and that we need to fix it," he said.
The massive, dying lake is plagued by increasing salinity, receding shorelines and periodic fish die-offs caused by plummeting oxygen levels in its briny waters.
Created in 1905 when floodwaters broke through a Colorado River irrigation canal, the 376-square-mile Salton Sea is bigger than Lake Tahoe but is only 51 feet deep at its deepest spot and has no outlet to the ocean. Ninety percent of its water comes from agricultural runoff from the nearby Imperial, Coachella and Mexicali valleys - a fact that gives the lake its unique soup, but also causes its many problems.
The lake, which is 235 feet below sea level, is 50 percent saltier than the ocean, and salinity levels are expected to increase even more as it shrinks.

HOUSTON -- It was a record auction for personalized license plates at the Houston Auto Show Friday night.
Buyers were bidding on coveted messages on the plates.
Rockets ended up selling for $16,050.
But the most sought-after vanity plate was Houston. It sold for $25,000 to a local car dealer.
I'm born and raised here in the City of Houston for 35 years, said Chris Gillman. I'm a sixth generation Texan... my family and I ve been doing business here in Houston now since 1938, and this is a pretty special moment for me in my life.
Some of the money raised at Friday s auction will go to the state of Texas. Some of it also goes to charity.

Thai protesters return to streets as pro-govt forces up the ante
Published on Mar 24, 2014 2:53 PM
BANGKOK (REUTERS) - Anti-government demonstrators in Thailand resumed street protests on Monday after lying low for weeks, piling pressure on increasingly beleaguered Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, who is expected to face impeachment within days.
Her opponents were emboldened by a Constitutional Court decision on Friday to nullify last month's election, delaying the formation of a new administration and leaving Yingluck in charge of a caretaker government with limited powers.
Yingluck's opponents first took to the streets in late November. Twenty-three people were killed and hundreds wounded in the political violence before the protests began to subside earlier this month. But the court ruling appears to have given a second wind to the agitation.
The protests are the latest instalment of an eight-year political battle broadly pitting the Bangkok middle class and royalist establishment against the mostly rural supporters of Yingluck and her billionaire brother, former premier Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted in a 2006 coup.

No. 6 Syracuse upsets No. 1 Louisville 70-68
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Louisville's reign at No. 1 is likely over after one week.
The Cardinals' focus now is on reclaiming the top spot and holding on when it matters - through the season's end in April - after falling to No. 6 Syracuse 70-68 on Saturday.
"That doesn't bother me at all," Cardinals senior guard Peyton Siva said of the team's expected slip when the new poll is announced Monday.
"I'd rather have the No. 1 ranking at the end of the year. I really don't mind having the No. 1 ranking at all. We're going to work our way back up to that spot and hopefully get it at the end of the year."
Doing so means overcoming mistakes in, including one by Siva, the Big East's preseason player of the year.
His cross-court pass was intercepted by Syracuse's Michael Carter-Williams with 26 seconds left. Carter-Williams took the ball from the Cardinals' free throw line and slammed a contested dunk down 3 seconds later over Louisville center Gorgui Dieng for the go-ahead basket.
"I saw him at the last minute," Siva said. "It was just a stupid pass on my part."
The Cardinals had a chance to win or tie on their last possession, but another pass from Siva to Dieng landed near his knees before being stripped and was stolen to seal Syracuse's win. It was the Orange's third straight win over the Cardinals.
Siva, who finished with three points going 1 of 9 from the field, was already dreading the film session to break down the loss.
"He's mature. I don't even worry about him," junior Russ Smith said of his backcourt mate. "At the end of the day, he worries about me. Peyton is Peyton. I expect him to just be Peyton on Tuesday (against Villanova)."
Smith led Louisville with 25 points, the only Cardinal in double figures. Chane Behanan had nine points and 11 rebounds.
Syracuse gutted out the road win in front of a school-record crowd of 22,814, but Orange coach Jim Boeheim felt the Cardinals were still the team to beat in the Big East as well as the nation.
"They will be there at the end of the year, and the team to beat," Boeheim said. "I think they will be the team to beat in the country when it all comes down to it in the end."
Carter-Williams had 16 points, Jerami Grant and C.J. Fair both had 10 for the Orange (17-1, 5-0) who won their seventh straight.
When asked if he still thinks his team is the best in the country, Behanan responded, "We're one of them. We just got beat by one of them. There's a lot of good teams. All that matters is who is going to come to March and get the job done."
Brandon Triche scored 23 points and Michael Carter-Williams scored 11 of the Orange's final 13 points as Syracuse won a showdown between two of the three Big East teams unbeaten in conference play.

Very nice.
thanks guys, glad you like it.
Nice template mate. How would you insert it into an email?
Nice and easy way is selecting everything in your browser (ctrl or mac + a), and then pasting into your email client message window (ctrl or mac + v).
Thanks I presume the images should be hosted first?
Yes, they should be online
thanks a lot guys
What font is the Billboard image?
Also, did you emboss it? I am trying to duplicate that look.
Font is Museo – google it, it is available for download
We used inner shadow layer options to achieve the letterpress effect. PSDs with layer options should be included in the download package
I love the template.
However is there anyway you can incorporate some social media into it: Share on Facebook, Tweet on Twitter, or Email to a friend. This addition would make this template perfect!
Hi, I bought this template and I need to modify it. I erased some inner table, but I don't understand why the main table remain of the same height. I looked with firebug and other, but i cannot understand. Please, can you help me? Thanks & regards
please check if there are any adjacent cells that might affect the height.

Will Djokovic surpass Federer?
We now can consider Djokovic winning the Australian slam as given. The relevant hypothetical question is if Djokovic win all four Slam this year, will Djokovic surpass Federer slam count at some point?
The possibilities are not hard to imagine given Djokovic flawless defense and striking offense ability now and in the next three years. Plus the **** machine for quick recovery, it it hard to see anyone beating him in a 5 set match.
This thread will go to ***** by the 2nd page for sure.
I give up.
I think Federer's gonna stick around as long as he can to make sure that doesn't happen. Djoker won't make any progress at the French as long as Nadal is around. Murray's been pretty strong too.
It's all going to depend on how long Nadal's knees hold up and when Fed finally decides to let go, which I don't see happening anytime soon.
He probably won't pass the slam count. Even if he wins all four this year.
What I've seen from Djokovic makes me doubt him winning the AO more than I did before the tournament.
Simple as this.
Egg takes care of it.. dont worry
Hahaha of course not.
Wow, let him win first.
Djoker started peaking too late, and in too strong of an era. 2 all-time greats are swimming in these waters, and they've cost him a chance at the slam record. About 20 slams until he turns 30, he'd have to win at least 10-12 of those to put him in position to snag it post-30. It's not impossible, but I reckon with his style of play, he won't be able to maintain Nole 2.0 for 5+ years.
Like he was going to win the Grand Slam in 2012? Yup, that didn't work out either.
Even if he wins 2/year he still needs 6 years just to tie Federer. It's not going to happen.
He can do it.
Nadal is the first question
Murray just won the USO and has shed the never won a slam weight.
The pressure is off and he did well last year against Novak..and I think he has what it takes to win the AO this year.
next time Murray will feel pressure at a slam is going to be wimbledon because the press in the UK will be hyping it like crazy after last year.
Yep. It's going to be funny when it happens too. The hissy fits thrown by the very same *******s that were rooting for him endlessly against Nadal will be legendary.
Djokovic will be lucky to even win a slam this year.......
Huh? He's already won the AO. No way he loses it now.
Djokovic's main role in the history books now is being Federer's main tail-gunner to prevent Nadal catching Federer.
It's working.

On "We The People" — the daytime court show ruled with an iron fist by Gloria Allred — a lady blames her car accident on being electrocuted by vibrating panties that she was wearing.
This was a classic case of malfunctioning vibrating panties. The defendant claims the vibrating panties she bought from the plaintiff (who was suing her for demanding a refund for the panties and some other "toys") electrocuted her while she was driving, causing a car accident.
So um…no, she will not be paying for the panties.
Safety reminder: Ladies, please do not WVPWD (wear vibrating panties while driving).

More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
A 50-year-old New Zealand citizen was arrested on Friday for allegedly raping two girls, police said.
David William Wakefield did not resist when a warrant for his arrest was presented by police and staff members of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), said Supt. Renante Gabico, Kidapawan City police chief.
Citing police and DSWD records, Gabico said Wakefield molested two girls, aged 12 and 13, in a hotel in Davao City last week.
Wakefield works for a certain Mecs Labor Hiring Co. based in Mozambique, Gabico said. The official said the girls positively identified Wakefield when they accompanied lawmen to a hotel where he was staying before flying to Manila en route to Mozambique.
Policemen recovered Wakefield's mobile phone with nude photos of the complainants. Gabico said charges of statutory rape and human trafficking would be filed against the foreigner, who is detained at the city police detention cell. Edwin O. Fernandez, Inquirer Mindanao

I love the look of this hiking shoe, and it would have received five "stars" but the tongue of the shoe kind of rubs the inside of the ankle and causes a little discomfort. Maybe I just need to break them in more, but overall it was a great buy for the cost because they provide a great amount of friction and are really cool looking!
When I walked onto the aerobic floor, most of the women in my class commented on how cool the shoes were. They asked me where I got them and how comfortable were they. They were very comforting and gave me good support. I just love them.
I bought these bad boys right before I moved to New Hampshire this summer. I wore them all over, especially on days off when I went climbing. Easy going shoe to break in, nice to hike to a climb spot in. Plus, the colors make them super neat.

Scarlett Johansson sues French author over novel lookalike
Published on May 15, 2014 4:52 AM
PARIS (AFP) - Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson on Wednesday launched a court case seeking damages from a French author whose novel features a character that closely resembles her.
The star is suing for 50,000 euros (S$85,700) in damages from the author and his publisher JC Lattes over the best-selling "La premiere chose qu'on regarde" (The first thing we look at).
The book's heroine, Janine Foucamprez, is described as strongly resembling Johansson, who is due to attend the Cannes film festival this week.
The first part of the novel is told through the eyes of a garage mechanic who "resembles a better version of Ryan Gosling" and thinks Johannson has turned up on his doorstep.
