Wando softball put away Beaufort, 5-3, at home Thursday in the opening round of the Class AAAA playoffs.
No. 2 seeded Wando (15-9) travels to No. 1 Lexington Saturday in the second round of the District V bracket. Lexington powered past Irmo, 17-7, Thursday at home.
Freshman right-hander Alyssa Heinrich earned the win for Wando, allowing three runs off six hits and four walks while striking out four in seven innings. With two on, two outs in the top of the seventh, Heinrich forced Beaufort to fly out to seal the win.
Kendall Schweers scored off a wild pitch and Brooke Gilbert drove in Mattie Willis to give the Warriors a two-run lead in the first inning.
Natalie Moore earned a run back for the Eagles in the third, scoring Michelle Brown with a sacrifice RBI. Gilbert answered for Wando in the bottom frame with a single to score Caroline Stanton.
Beaufort walked in a run in the fourth before Gilbert hit a sacrifice fly to score Bannister and open a four-run lead. Gilbert finished 2 for 2 with three RBIs as the Warriors' only multi-hit player.
Moore doubled to drive in a run and Mari Cooke singled to bring home a second for Beaufort in the sixth. With the tying run on first, Heinrich threw a three-pitch strikeout to end the frame and thwart the rally attempt. Cooke finished 2 for 3 with an RBI and Moore 1 for 3 with two RBIs for Beaufort.
Lexington and Wando met in the postseason for the second straight year. Wando defeated Lexington in back-to-back games last year to win the district and advance into the Lower State quarterfinals.

Resurrection: Flagstaff author floats new vision for Glen Canyon
By Daniel Kraker
Flagstaff, AZ – Lake Powell took two decades to fill up after Glen Canyon Dam was completed in the early 1960s. But now the ongoing drought has caused half that water to disappear, and in the process Glen Canyon has begun to reemerge. Flagstaff journalist and NAU journalism professor Annette McGivney has written a new book about the canyon's comeback called "Resurrection: Glen Canyon and a New Vision for the American West." She told Arizona Public Radio's Daniel Kraker the title of the book was controversial.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
Section 1. Subdivision (72) of section 12-81 of the general statutes, as amended by section 9 of public act 95-283, is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:
(72) (a) New machinery and equipment, as defined herein, acquired after October 1, 1990, and newly-acquired machinery and equipment, as defined herein, acquired on or after July 1, 1992, by the person claiming exemption under this subdivision, provided this exemption shall only be applicable in the five full assessment years following the assessment year in which such machinery or equipment is acquired, subject to the provisions of subparagraph (b) of this subdivision. For the purposes of this subdivision: (A) "Machinery" and "equipment" mean tangible personal property which is (i) installed in a manufacturing facility operated by a manufacturer, either five-year property or seven-year property, as those terms are defined in Section 168(e) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or any subsequent corresponding internal revenue code of the United States, as from time to time amended, and the predominant use of which is for manufacturing, processing or fabricating; for research and development, including experimental or laboratory research and development, design or engineering directly related to manufacturing; for the significant servicing, overhauling or rebuilding of machinery and equipment for industrial use or the significant overhauling or rebuilding of other products on a factory basis; for measuring or testing or for metal finishing; or (ii) used in the production of motion pictures, video and sound recordings. "Machinery" means the basic machine itself, including all of its component parts and contrivances such as belts, pulleys, shafts, moving parts, operating structures and all equipment or devices used or required to control, regulate or operate the machinery, including, without limitation, computers and data processing equipment, together with all replacement and repair parts therefor, whether purchased separately or in conjunction with a complete machine, and regardless of whether the machine or component parts thereof are assembled by the taxpayer or another party. "Equipment" means any device separate from machinery but essential to a manufacturing, processing or fabricating process. (B) "Manufacturing facility" means that portion of a plant, building or other real property improvement used for manufacturing, processing or fabricating, for research and development, including experimental or laboratory research and development, design or engineering directly related to manufacturing, for the significant servicing, overhauling or rebuilding of machinery and equipment for industrial use or the significant overhauling or rebuilding of other products on a factory basis, for measuring or testing or for metal finishing. (C) "Manufacturing" means the activity of converting or conditioning tangible personal property by changing the form, composition, quality or character of the property for ultimate sale at retail or use in the manufacturing of a product to be ultimately sold at retail. Changing the quality of property shall include any substantial overhaul of the property that results in a significantly greater service life than such property would have had in the absence of such overhaul or with significantly greater functionality within the original service life of the property, beyond merely restoring the original functionality for the balance of the original service life. (D) "Fabricating" means to make, build, create, produce or assemble components or tangible personal property work in a new or different manner. (E) "Processing" means the physical application of the materials and labor necessary to modify or change the characteristics of tangible personal property. (F) "Measuring or testing" includes both nondestructive and destructive measuring or testing, and the alignment and calibration of machinery, equipment and tools, in the furtherance of the manufacturing, processing or fabricating of tangible personal property;
(b) Any person who on October first in any year holds title to machinery and equipment for which he desires to claim the exemption provided in this subdivision shall file with the assessor or board of assessors in the municipality in which the machinery or equipment is located, on or before the first day of November in such year, a list of such machinery or equipment together with written application claiming such exemption on a form prescribed by the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management. SUCH APPLICATION SHALL INCLUDE THE TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER ASSIGNED TO THE CLAIMANT BY THE COMMISSIONER OF REVENUE SERVICES AND THE FEDERAL EMPLOYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER ASSIGNED TO THE CLAIMANT BY THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. If title to such equipment is held by a person other than the person claiming the exemption, the claimant shall include on his application information as to the portion of the total acquisition cost incurred by him, and on or before the first day of November in such year, the person holding title to such machinery and equipment shall file a list of such machinery with the assessor of the municipality in which the manufacturing facility of the claimant is located. Such person shall include on the list information as to the portion of the total acquisition cost incurred by him. Commercial or financial information in any application or list filed under this section shall not be open for public inspection, provided such information is given in confidence and is not available to the public from any other source. The provisions of this subdivision regarding the filing of lists and information shall not supersede the requirements to file tax lists under sections 12-42, 12-43, 12-57a and 12-59. In substantiation of such claim, the claimant and the person holding title to machinery and equipment for which exemption is claimed shall present to the assessor or board of assessors such supporting documentation as said secretary may require, including, but not limited to, invoices, bills of sale, contracts for lease and bills of lading. Failure to file such application in this manner and form within the time limit prescribed shall constitute a waiver of the right to such exemption for such assessment year, unless an extension of time is allowed by the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management as set forth in section 12-81k AS AMENDED and upon payment of the required fee for late filing. If title to exempt machinery is conveyed subsequent to October first in any assessment year, entitlement to such exemption shall terminate for the next assessment year and there shall be no pro rata application of the exemption unless such machinery or equipment continues to be leased by the manufacturer who claimed and was approved for the exemption in the previous assessment year. Machinery or equipment that was exempt under this subdivision for a five-year term or a portion thereof shall not be eligible for exemption upon transfer to a business organization related to or affiliated with the seller;
(c) Any person claiming the exemption provided under this subdivision for machinery or equipment shall not be eligible to claim the exemption provided under subdivision (60) of this section or subdivision (70) of this section for the same machinery or equipment. The state and the municipality and district shall hold a security interest, as defined in subdivision (37) of section 42a-1-201, in any machinery or equipment which is exempt from taxation pursuant to this subdivision, in an amount equal to the tax revenue reimbursed or lost, as the case may be, which shall be subordinate to any purchase money security interest, as defined in section 42a-9-107. Such security interest shall be enforceable against the claimant for a period of five years after the last assessment year in which such exemption was received in any case in which said manufacturer ceases all manufacturing operations or moves its manufacturing operations entirely out of this state. A public service company, as defined in section 16-1, AS AMENDED shall not be eligible for the exemption provided under this subdivision;
(d) A CLAIM FOR PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION UNDER THIS SUBDIVISION MAY BE DENIED BY THE ASSESSOR OR BOARD OF ASSESSORS OF A TOWN, CONSOLIDATED TOWN AND CITY OR CONSOLIDATED TOWN AND BOROUGH, WITH THE CONSENT OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER THEREOF, IF THE CLAIMANT IS DELINQUENT IN A PROPERTY TAX PAYMENT TO SUCH TOWN, CONSOLIDATED TOWN AND CITY OR CONSOLIDATED TOWN AND BOROUGH, PURSUANT TO SECTION 12-146, FOR PROPERTY OWNED BY SUCH CLAIMANT. BEFORE ANY SUCH CLAIM IS DENIED, THE ASSESSOR OR BOARD OF ASSESSORS SHALL SEND WRITTEN NOTICE TO THE CLAIMANT, STATING THAT HE MAY PAY THE AMOUNT OF SUCH DELINQUENT TAX OR ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH SUCH TOWN, CONSOLIDATED TOWN AND CITY OR CONSOLIDATED TOWN AND BOROUGH FOR THE PAYMENT THEREOF, BY THE DATE SET FORTH IN SAID NOTICE, PROVIDED, SUCH DATE SHALL NOT BE LESS THAN THIRTY DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF SUCH NOTICE. FAILURE ON THE PART OF THE CLAIMANT TO PAY THE AMOUNT OF THE DELINQUENT TAX OR ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT TO PAY THE AMOUNT THEREOF BY SAID DATE SHALL RESULT IN A DISALLOWANCE OF THE EXEMPTION BEING CLAIMED.
Sec. 2. This act shall take effect from its passage and shall be applicable to assessment years commencing on or after October 1, 1996.
Approved June 4, 1996. Effective June 4, 1996, and applicable as provided in section 2.[footer.htm]

The UFC will debut on Fox Sports 1 on August 17 with a night of fights live from Boston's TD Bank Garden. The fight card for UFC on FS1 1 continues to take shape, as it has been revealed through a number of sources that Joe Lauzon and Michael Johnson will face off in an exciting lightweight fight.
Joe Lauzon (22-8) is coming off an incredible five-round war with Jim Miller. Despite losing a unanimous decision, Lauzon will be coming into this fight with momentum, as the Boston native is sure to be the hometown favorite.
Michael Johnson (12-8) is coming off two straight losses. The Blackzilian fighter, and season 12 runner-up from The Ultimate Fighter, will be looking for a big win against Lauzon to make a statement in the lightweight division.
The UFC's deal with the new FOX Sports 1 cable station will be replacing the events currently running on Fuel TV and FX.

Having decided to use the tea partiers as shock troops to win elections, and to try and milk "populism" to try and take back control of Congress (yeah, good luck with that…) suddenly, Capitol Hill Republicans have discovered the enemy, and the enemy, it turns out, is "populism." From the NYTimes, news that the "party of no," is also the party of no regulating or taxing Wall Street:
Republicans on the [Senate Banking] committee said Mr. Obama's call for a bank tax was a political response to the unexpected loss of a Massachusetts Senate seat. And Democrats, although more positive about the president's remarks, were slow to embrace the specifics, like the tax, of his proposals.
"There is no question that this was presented to stoke and jump in front of a lot of populist furor," said Senator Bob Corker, a Tennessee Republican who is working with Senator Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat, on the problem of securities firms being so big and interconnected that their collapse could bring down the financial system.
"I think everybody watching understands that this was a political undertaking and not necessarily a substance undertaking," he said. "This is a soak-the-rich populist grab."
Senator Judd Gregg, a New Hampshire Republican who is working with Senator Jack Reed, Democrat of Rhode Island, on regulation of derivatives and credit rating agencies, offered a similar assessment of the president's intervention.
"I think it's confused the issue considerably, because he's basically fanned the fires of populism and in a lot of instances, populism doesn't give you either good regulatory activity or strong markets," Mr. Gregg said. "It undermines both, in many instances."
Vocker testifies before the Senate panel today. Chris Dodd will attempt to sit erect through the hearings, despite the absence of his spine.

Conspiracy of the Planet of the Apes
After his spacecraft smashes into the dead sea of an alien planet, a man is separated from his fellow astronauts when a raiding party of intelligent apes attacks them. Captured, he finds himself a prisoner in a world turned upside down, with apes as the rulers and man in its zoos. His only hope is to communicate with a couple of chimpanzee scientists who just might be open-minded and compassionate enough to be sympathetic to his cause. But the man named John Landon will discover that intelligent minds, be they ape or man, all fear the unknown, and his destiny is not to become part of this new world, but instead to find himself under the knife of a simian brain surgeon on the PLANET OF THE APES.

Groninger Museum
13 February 2013
View EXIF
Focal length: 28mm
Shutter: 1/400 sec
Camera: SONY DSLR-A200
This is the Groninger Museum. I think I've been inside only once, but I've passed by it many times. Surely, it is a great place to get inspired by good art. But why go there if there is so much inspiration out there on the internet?
I have always shared the cool stuff I found on the internet on any of the social media I am on. But I figured this doesn't give a great overview. So when I found Veerle's Inspiration Stream I wanted to do something similar. So last month, I made my own Inspiration Blog. My intention is to put something new on it every day, but so far I've been busy collecting all the old stuff. Nevertheless, there's already a lot on there, so check it out and don't forget to subscribe!
That's not the only thing I've added to my site, though. Perhaps you've already noticed, but I have also included tags to my blogposts, and I have introduced a search page. So if you can't find what you're looking for right away, just use the search option that is in the navigation bar!

Reviews for this vacation home rental in Franklin, North Carolina

Relaxing getaway
April 15, 2015
This home was just what we were looking for. It was a quiet place for our family to relax, yet was still close to the hiking trails and gem mines we wanted to visit. It was very family friendly, with plenty of activities to do inside. However, I think we spent most of our time outdoors on the porch enjoying the view and watching the wildlife! We wished we could have stayed longer.

A snug house for a memorable vacation
March 23, 2015
A perfect retreat in the mountains next to the Little Tennessee River and close to Franklin, peaceful meadows, Nantahala National Forest, creeks and meanders, water falls, and hiking trails. Tom and Carol are impeccable hosts, always available, helpful and considerate. Their home is fully equipped and wonderfully decorated; a place that will long live in your memory.

This was a nice rental property. There were plenty of beds. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. The shower had plenty of hot water. The house was clean when we arrived. There was a washer and dryer if needed.

As good as vacation renting gets
November 13, 2013
Perfect for 3 couples. 3 bedroom, each with same beds and bathrooms en suite. Everything clean and beautifully appointed. We can't think of anything that needed to be added, it has everything. The renters are a pleasure to deal with! and their price was great. The location has a beautiful view all day long, and the area was quiet when we were there. A rare value in the world of travel. My thanks to the owners for a great stay.

A Gem in Franklin, NC
August 31, 2013
We found this home last year and had an A+ vacation so we returned this year. We plan on continuing to use it for our summer NC visits. The house has everything one could want::it is beautifully decorated, it has privacy and the owners ensure that the house has all of the dishes, dinnerware, towels, etc. that one could possibly need. The rear deck has a great view of the beautiful Smokey Mountains, sunsets and the Little Tennessee River. The owners are just as nice as their home and are very easy to do business with. He is a fly fishing guide who can make a great day out of fishing or lessons; she builds beautiful, and sometimes off-beat, clocks that happily tick away in the house.. Guests will never have far to look to find the time. We stopped counting at about 40 clocks. It's a great place, have a good time.

Worked out Perfectly
July 29, 2013
We were only able to spend a few days in the Mountains of North Carolina and were delighted this was available for those dates. The House was neat, clean and everything worked perfectly. ( unsure about TV as we never turned it on ) The authentic log cabin made our stay more enjoyable but with all the modern conveniences to make it comfortable. There are so..... many beautiful things to see nearby and the cabin was in great position for all of that.

Fantastic way to kick back
September 6, 2011
We were looking for a place to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. Your home was perfect, offering comfort and affordability. The porch was a great place to enjoy early morning coffee, cool air, birds singing and a fantastic view. The kitchen was well furnished with necessities including spices. The beds were very comfortable. We will definitely be back to visit again. Thank you for sharing your property with us.

Best Relaxing Vacation Ever!!!!
July 17, 2011
This was the a home away from home the view, the bed, the atomsphere and just the whole vacation was more than person could ask for. My husband and I had been very busy having fundraisers for my precious grandaughter Ruby, who will be five years old on August 24th, she was diagnosed with bone marrow failure disease and will need a bone marrow to live. The disease is called Aplastic Anemia, which is rare one out of a million, unfortuately she was one out of a million, we are praying for a complete healing & we know that our God can and will do this for His Glory. We are so thakful for people like Tom and we can't say enough about his lovely home we had so much peace the view was perfect!!! Love ya, Phyllis & Sam--- Lehigh Acres Fl--Hope to visit again next year maybe in the winter so Ruby can see snow (she's never seen & would love to) God Bless

Better than I expected!
May 25, 2011
I pulled up to this house knowing it was a three bedroom, two bath house. What I found was a very well kept modern home. beautifull landspacing and a awesome view from the back deck, showing the awe inspiring mountains and down below the Little Tennesse river. It was so peacefull that I didn't want to leave. Hope to stay here again sometime. So much better than a hotel!

Happy Little Honeymoon

This rental exceeded my expectations and completely won over my beautiful bride. We loved the location, the views, and access to all of our favorite sights and cities. I would love and plan to stay here again. I would highly recommend this rental home. The owners are very accommodating and caring. The house expertly decorated with much of an eclectic touch every for the eye to see. Mornings on the deck overlooking the river was breathtaking. Best vacation home yet.

Beautiful home with a wonderful view and a short hop to Franklin. My stay was with 3 motorcycle enthusiast friends to ride the incredible roads of western NC, northern GA, western SC, eastern TN and of course the "tail of the dragon" at Deals Gap. Acess to Tom and Carol's home off the highway is paved, as is the large driveway and apron. A beautiful, comfortable home with satellite TV and WiFi and with very personable owners. We will be back.

What a wonderful time we had. The accomodations exceeded all our expectations. The house was perfect for our needs. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need to enjoy the benefit of cooking our own meals. The house was expertly decorated and was spotless. No question, this will be our destination for future trips to the NC mountains.

Rockslide Tour 2010
July 1, 2010
Despite of the rockslide at the Dragon on US129, we decided to centralize this home base for all our tours after some research. This location also allows us to cover parts of Smoky Mountains, Cherohala Skyway, Blue Ridge Parkway, GA, SC and other mountain roads, which met our criterias. The house is nicely decorated and very comfortable. Our favorite part of the house is actually the deck which overlooking the mountains and the river. It is a nice place to chill out and a perfect place for morning coffee with a misty mounatin view which can be challenging for a point and shoot digital photographer. The owners are nice people. Tom is an avid fly fisherman and Carol is a creative artist. Too bad we only have one week, we wished we could stay longer.

What a beautiful home and amazing view! We had a most lovely time in the mountains at our "little cabin in the woods". Everything is at your fingertips as Tom and Carol have put forth the extra effort to assure that all needs and wants have been covered. They are two of the kindest and most gracious people you could ever meet. Our only wish is that we could have stayed longer than a week. We are already planning our return visit for next year. Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation getaway.......and please give Maggie a little chin scratch for me. Jacki, Shirley and Scott

Beautiful Home - Extraordinary Owners
June 23, 2009
The house surpassed our expectations and the owners doubly so. We were two female friends, who wanted to go gem mining & sightseeing in NC. What we found were two owners that we had great conversations with, made us very welcome & gave suggestionson on what to see. Tom is a fisherman who can tell you all about the fishing (next time I will bring my waders). Carol is an incredible artist who has decorated the house with her creations. The house has everything you could imagine. We would like to have taken the beds home with us- they were so comfortable. The sunsets were awesome and the house location was so tranquil. It was in a great location for heading in whatever direction you wanted to go.....and we were on many a backroad with magnificent views. We would go back there again in a heartbeat! I have rented many houses across the US and in Canada, and this by far, was the best!

April 28, 2009
My friend and Eve and I wanted a place to spend some fun time-minus kids, husbands, pets.. or is that redundant? Anyway, our long weekend at Tom's place was wonderful, we got much more than we imagined. We spent our days out canoing, gold-mining, and antique aka junque shopping; evenings were spent in front of the fireplace watching movies or just yakking. Their attention to detail helps make it an "easy" vacation spot, Tom and his wife are great. We want to come back again this year. (Can we keep a clock this time? Just kidding.. !)

Beautiful place to stay!

My husband, 2 kids and I just returned from our fun filled week! The house was beautifully decorated, well equipped and very comfortable - a great place to stay! The location was also perfect for us. During our stay, we spent time in Cherokee, Bryson City, Franklin, Highland and even went to Dollywood (2 hrs away) in Pigeon Forge, Tn! We enjoyed GEM mining the most! Tom and Carol made everything (the rental process, etc.) very easy and comfortable for us. We would definitely stay again! Thanks!

Our family loves to go to North Carolina to celebrate Christmas. There is nothing better than the mountain pace for this holiday and your home was absolutely fabulous. Well located for all the activities we were looking for - hiking, window shopping in a fun North Carolina village and relaxing with the best mountain and river views around. Thanks for a great time and a really beautiful and comfortable home for our vacation.

This house was great!! Beautiful views off of the back porch!! Close to the river; our favorite!! A perfect starting & ending location for riding all the nearby, excellent, curvy roads!! All the necessities (gas,grocery,eateries) are nearby. The paved/asphalt road & driveway were the best!! Perfect for bikes!! The house was well equipped (pots,pans,linens,etc)and beautifully furnished. Also, extremely clean. Tom (owner) was extremely nice, helpful, and accomodating. We couldn't have been happier with our whole experience!!! We all four would highly recommend this house and owner. You won't be disappointed!!!

Great Home with Great Location
September 2, 2008
We were absolutley in love with the place. There was plenty of room and great views. We spent most of our time on the back porch taking in the mountains. The house is centrally located to town and attractions. The Owners are wonderful to deal with and provided great communication to make our arrival a breeze. We will stay here again the next time we come to Franklin.

Not only was the home in a perfect location for riding the NC mountains the home itself was perfect. There were 5 of us men with more than ample room to meet all our needs. We are already talking about renting the home next year and perhaps bringing our wifes. I would highly recommend renting the home for anyone looking for a beautiful fully equiped home with a great location and view on Hwy 28 outside of Franklin NC.

We stayed at this mountain home the week after the 4th of July. It was beautiful, comfortable, and was located just where we needed it to be! Close to everything but still had some beautiful views. It was very relaxing especially early in the morning, watching the fog roll over the mountains and the sun come up. The owners were very attentive to every need. I would stay here again!!! Tom, thanks for letting us rent your place. We really enjoyed it.

My family stayed here for a week and it was one of the best places we have stayed at while in the mountains. The house was very spacious and well kept. We played ping pong downstairs after our outings for the day. We had a fantastic view of the river and were within short distance to everything. We would definitely stay again. Thanks for letting us enjoy your home.

Our Franklin Vacation
July 20, 2008
Our entire family really enjoyed this spectaclur vacation home with all the x-tra's. We would definetely recomment this to anyone wanting to have a laid back vacation bonding with your family and friends. We would recommend the "Mason Mines" for gem mining...we had great luck and are having several pieces of jewelry made. Tom and Carol were wonderful to deal with and we felt right at home. We would definately return here for another vaction, perhaps in another season to see the difference in the view. Again, this is a wonderful rental home.

We had everything we needed in the way of comfort, a well equpped kitchen,and a great location to visit both local attractions as well as Smokey Mountain National Park. We have visted area a number of times over the years and would certainly recommned your property for anyone looking to vacation in the area. We hope to come back sometime soon.

Tom and Carol, Thanks so much for sharing your home for vacationers. This was the first time ever renting a house I/O staying in a hotel/motel and I would never ever think of a hotel again. Your home felt like our home because after a long day of gem mining or just playing in the river/fishing..we would be tired and say "lets go home". Also, the view from the deck was wonderful.Doug and I would get up around 5am, pour our coffee and go outside to the fresh cool morning air and just enjoy. It never got too hot or was never humid, and the air smelled so fresh like flowers. The Kids had a great time as well. Doug and I are trying to plan a time to come back in the fall where we could absorb the mountains fall colors and do some more Gem mining....again, thank you for sharing your home. It was nicely decorated, simple, and a pefect feng shui. And this was all so enjoyable even after I sprained my foot three days into the vacation. We will be back... :) Betty, Doug, Brittany & Austin

"Gem" of a Home!
June 28, 2008
Gem Capitol of North Carolina. The house was Great! We felt sooo at home here. We just loved sitting on the deck a.m. and p.m. and looking out at the mountains! While we were here we tried our hand at gem mining (found some small stones to take home), went white water rafting (our First time) and took an overnite trip to Wilmington(saw the Battleship North Carolina... Awesome!) Coming back to the house each nite was just like coming home!! We did have Ping Pong competition every nite ( the youngsters won!) We would definitly stay here again if we're ever in the neighborhood! Tom and Carol were friendly, helpful and very Gracious through the whole renting process! This was our first vacation rental, and if everyone else are like the Hopkins',we will surely rent again!! Thanks so Much!! The Hansen Family

This home is beautiful, beautifully maintained, and has a gorgeous view of the river and the mountains. The owners have been most gracious in all of their dealings with us. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the mornings and evenings gazing at the splender before us! We met our children and grandchildren here and everyone loved the house.

A Vacation worth remembering!
October 22, 2007
The home was beautiful. It was clean and very comfortable. We used the home as our home base and visited National Park, Cherokee, Franklin, Waynesville, Slva and other towns in the area. We enjoyed Sunday lunch at the Jarett House in Slva, golf at the Franklin Golf Club and the new arrivals in the National Park. Elk. We saw about 25 head. There were also 2 deer sited at the house. We had a great time and would not hesitate to go back and stay in the house.

This was a great home. Nice furnishings, especially in the kitchen. Located close enough to local attractions, but out of the way enough for privacy. I would definately recommend it.

The Warcraft universe is full of names, some strange, some familiar. We have the parody names: Vana Grey, Xiggs Fuselighter (above), Linken. There are the homages to literature: Morgan Stern, the putative author of The Princess Bride, and Commander Falstaav, a joke on Shakespeare's Falstaff. There appear to be family names like Anduin. There are the cultural patterns that allow for easy guessing of an NPC's race -- who's the gnome? Bloodhoof or Mechatorque?
So what names from the World of Warcraft would you a) be proud to name your own children, or b) refuse to inflict upon an innocent child? Calia or Jaina wouldn't sound too far out of place in the real world, but I can't imagine meeting a Garrosh or Brann. (Especially, God forbid, a Brann Muffin.) Leave your thoughts! Warning: This is not a raffle to name Gregg's baby, as Lyssa Rhiannon has a name.

We are Eabametoong First Nation member from Fort Hope, ON Canada. We bring a lifetime of instructions and training from numerous Ojibway, Oji-Cree and Cree Elders, Healers, Sacred Item Carriers and Medicine People about the native traditional way of life. We have 3 children and 11 grandchildren. We have maintained our sobriety for 23 years and we continue to live free from alcohol and drugs lifestyle. We have learnt to live the way Creator made us to be as native people. In Ojibway language we call ourselves "Anishinabek" it means "People from the Spirit World". Life is awesome and We would like to share that with you...Meeqwetch!
We have many years of experience working with youth and First Nation people. We would like to continue serving our people to teach them the traditional way of life. The website "Many Eagles Traditional Teachings" is based on 7 Grandfather teachings philosophy based on love,respect,truth,honesty,humility,bravery and wisdom which we can develop a program for your training or workshop need. We specialize on family or community healing process to teach youth and families how to live in harmony by using traditional healing process. Each one of us carry a sacred gift and we help individuals by giving them native teaching tools in preparation for healing.
In our language we call the 7 Grandfather Teachings "MISHOOMIS O-KAH-KEY-QWAY-WIN" which means; "Great-Grandfather's Teachings". This program would be beneficial for your staff and community. We delivered similar teachings to youth at Youth Centre facilities in Northern Ontario for native child welfare agency. We also provide staff training to non-native child welfare agencies that work with native families and youth. It is important to enhance knowledge and understand about native culture and customs our people practise. Seven grandfather teachings is use as a recovery and healing process by our people.
The seven grandfather teachings are traditional teachings given by the Creator to the Anishinabek to teach them what is important so that they know how to live. The seven grandfather teachings are traditional teachings on Love, Humility, Honesty, Bravery, Wisdom, Truth and Respect. Each of the Grandfathers is a lesson that is viewed as a gift of knowledge for the learning of values and for living by these values. Although each teaching represents a wealth of wisdom on its own, collectively they represent what was needed for community survival. The Anishinabek were taught that the Seven Grandfathers could not be used in isolation. To practice one without the other would amount to practicing the opposite of that teaching. Therefore, to not love is to be fearful; to not be humble is to be egotistical; to not be honest is to be dishonest; to not be Bravery is to be cowardly
Central to this philosophy, or worldview, is the emphasis on the larger perspective, the effects on others, the family, the community, the region and the universe, as the Anishinabek (and other Aboriginal peoples) believe that all beings are connected, like links in a chain. A belief in the interdependence of all living things frames Aboriginal value systems. Animals are no less important than humans, and plants are no less important than animals. Water and wind, sun and moon and the changing of the seasons are all related to each other and to humans. We are all part of one great whole. As this awareness dictates a vision of the world as a whole, traditional Aboriginal thinking concludes that life forms maintain their health and balance through the focus on harmony as opposed to individual wants or needs. The Seven Grandfather Teachings were designed to achieve harmony and live a good life.
If you need more information or further discussion and planning about the training, workshop you want for your community contact Ronnie at 807-737-1039 or by email email@example.com

96 Ground Access to Major Airports by Public Transportation Rail. A new City Air Terminal has been created within the Vienna-Middle station. The terminal is well located relative to major tourist hotels, at the edge of the Stadtpark, and has four check-in counters and five automatic kiosk machines. From this location, the traveler has a choice of dedicated rail service, called the "CAT," or shared rail services from the regional sub- urban rail system. The CAT service offers non-stop connections to the airport in 16 minutes. Tickets on the dedicated service are available for about $12, with the competing services priced like commuter rail service. The dedicated rail is currently attracting about 14% of the market, while the standard rail service is attracting about 16% of the market. Baggage-Handling Strategy. For those travelers who choose the higher priced dedicated rail service, baggage check-in is offered for 25 airlines, including Star Alliance airlines, of which Austrian Airlines is a member. Travelers to the United States can check their bags at the City Air Terminal. The downtown check-in station is unusual in that it offers totally automated baggage check-in service. About one in five airline passengers are reported to use the check-in service (37). Bus. Bus service is offered from three downtown locations, including the South Rail Station and the West Rail Station, at a price of about $8. The airport reports that bus services capture about 11% of the ground access market for airline passengers. London Stansted (40% Market Share) Market Share European/Asian Rank Airport Total Rail Bus 7 London Stansted Airport 40% 29% 11% SOURCE: CAA Passenger Survey Report 2004 (30) The Airport. Stansted Airport is located 35 miles north of London, which is about 70 min- utes by automobile. Taxi fare for the journey is estimated at $100. Stansted served about 21 MAP in 2005 and is growing rapidly. About 13% of traffic is to UK destinations, and about 87% is international. Some 87% of these travelers are terminating, and not transferring to other flights. Connections at the Airport. Stansted Airport has a centralized configuration, with a com- pact landside terminal serving a series of airside concourses via a people-mover link. The rail station is integrated into the basement of the terminal structure and accessed by elevator, esca- lators, and ramps. The escalators from the rail station are located in the departures concourse; the escalators to the rail station are located in the arrivals concourse. The bus station is across the airport roadway, in a central plaza. Rail. Stansted Airport is served by both dedicated rail services to London and shared rail services in the region. Initially called the "Stansted Skytrain," the dedicated rail service to London operated every half hour from Liverpool Street Station, with about a 40- to 45-minute travel time to the airport. In 1999, the service was rebranded as the Stansted Express and began to offer ser- vice with 15-minute headways for much of the day. In 2007, the fare was about $30 one way. Hourly local service between the airport and London is also provided. Additional services are provided directly to the Midlands and destinations in the north of England. Rail captures 29% of the airline passenger market. Baggage-Handling Strategy. The dedicated trains of the Stansted Express are designed with ample luggage storage areas on board. The concept of downtown check-in at Liverpool Street Station was explored by the operators of the Stansted Express along with the airlines and the owners of the rail station and was discontinued.

best grocery store in MadisonPosted on 09 / 08 / 2013
Willie St Co-op always has the freshest produce in Madison. The variety of fresh food and packaged food always surprises me. They're generally cheaper than Whole Foods, and they have a lot of vegan products that Trader Joes just doesn't carry. Also, their bulk food area is constantly bring used and restocked, so you know nothing has been sitting there for a terribly long time.

Jim is an urban and political geographer by training. Currently, his primary research focus is on the possibility of 'democracy from below' and the redefinition of citizenship at the local scale. His regional focus is the former Soviet Union, with particular emphasis on modern Russian society. His dissertation examined the struggle by Moscow-based urban social movements to forge territorialized senses of social and political identity. In addition, the dissertation addressed the role of community space as a forum for public participation.
Jim is currently at work on several papers that synthesize the findings of his dissertation. Within these papers he addresses the relationship between democratization and transformations in the local state, property relations and gender relations. While at IBS he will be collaborating with Professor John O'Loughlin on a new joint research proposal. The aim is to design a project which will address the impacts of social and economic restructuring on both formal and informal political behavior, in order to establish a more comprehensive, and nuanced, picture of the emerging political culture in post-Soviet Russia.

Willamette University Coffee Shop Celebrates 20 Years
Wanting a fun place to hang out on campus, in 1986 two Willamette University students approached then-President Jerry Hudson about opening a coffee shop. Twenty years later, the Bistro is thriving as the ultimate place for students, faculty, staff and even community members to sip a latte, talk with friends, listen to music or meet for a class.
The Bistro, located on the first floor of Putnam University Center, will celebrate its 20th anniversary Sept. 29 and 30 with a series of reunion activities. Alumni who have worked there over the years will return to share their memories. Some will even hop behind the counter from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sept. 29 to relive their days of serving up joe. Folk band Garett Brennan and the EbGbs will perform a free concert that evening from 7:30 to 11 p.m. Brennan is a Willamette alumnus whose college band was a fixture at the Bistro in the early 2000s.
Other alumni visitors will include John Donovan and Eric Friedenwald-Fishman, the students who started the shop. As freshmen at Willamette, they decided students needed a late-night place to meet for coffee. They spent much of their sophomore year presenting various coffee shop plans to the college president. After getting approval, they spent a work-filled summer getting the place ready to open.
Donovan and Friedenwald-Fishman, both Portland residents, went on to start Metropolitan Group, one of the country's leading social issue marketing firms.
"Whenever I walk into the Bistro, there are people studying together, tables of students and faculty interacting or people playing music," Friedenwald-Fishman said. "It seems like it still draws a diverse group of students from all parts of campus who might not have otherwise interacted."
Since its opening, the Bistro has become a meeting place for the campus community. Many faculty members stop by in the morning for a scone or coffee, and some hold classes there and have specific chairs they call their own. Students often hang out there, and regular concerts and open-mic nights also bring in community members looking for live music.
Students who work at the Bistro prepare all the food themselves -- including cookies, scones, burritos and sandwiches, often based on family recipes passed down from former employees. They also run the entire business themselves, giving them experience in entrepreneurship, said Bob Hawkinson, dean of campus life and the Bistro's first faculty advisor.
"The Bistro is a central meeting place, and it's a place to relax," Hawkinson said. "It meets a need of students, faculty and staff for a nice, friendly, cohesive coffeehouse atmosphere."

Sergio Farias, Pohang Steelers
I'm proud of my players. We showed that we could match the South American champions, and we were extremely unlucky to lose. We had three players sent off. It could have been a different story.
Alejandro Sabella, Estudiantes coach
We're very pleased to have reached the final. If we meet Barcelona, then so be it – we'll be ready for them. Credit to Pohang, they did well. The last 20 minutes of the first half was very even, and so was the start of the second half. But our second goal gave us the psychological advantage and Pohang became frustrated after that. It was not our best performance but I think we deserved the victory. We'll be better next game.

About George W Bruffey
George William Bruffey, Jr. was born on April 4, 1921 in Newport, Newport County Rhode Island to Pearl Ruth McKenzie (1898-1959) and George William Bruffey, Sr. (1898-1973). His father was in the Navy and was stationed in Newport, Newport County, Rhode Island; he was instrumental in the formation of the Naval Band and his band was also invited to play a "gig" in Cuba when his son, Billy was only 18 months old. Bill, as he was called in later life, worked at the Riggs National Bank after graduating from High School; and, joined the Navy in 1941, at age 20. Bill was on board a ship in port at Hawaii when the Navy asked for volunteers to attend Officer's Training School at Washburn University. Bill applied and was accepted, so he left Hawaii for Manhattan, Kansas to Washburn University Campus. In between his classes, Bill met some of the other students attending Washburn at a cafe they all frequented. One day Mary Lou, a member of a sorority at Washburn decided they should host a dance and invite the Navy men attending Officers Training School, now that more men were on campus. It was her job to find the prettiest one for Bill or he was not going and her sister sorority friend, Libby, attending Baker University in Kansas, said she would come only if Mary Lou found her a tall one. Her friend told Libby, I will put you down for Bruffey. The rest is history, as Bill and Libby were married on March 3, 1946 in St Luke's Methodist Church, Kilgore, Texas where Libby had grown up. Bill joined National Cash Register Company and designed accounting systems for banks; so, they lived in many places during their married life together beginning in Tyler, Texas. To this union were born 5 children: Susan, Ann, Alice, Katherine, and George William III. Bill retired from National Cash Register and began working with stained glass; he made and sold several beautiful pieces from sun catchers up to and including angels 3 feet tall that hold a candle in their hand. He was very talented in the pieces he created. Bill died on November 12, 1973, in Plano, Texas from Pancreatic Cancer and Liver failure. Bill is survived by his widow, five children, 4 sons in law, one daughter in law, 21 grandchildren, and six great grandchildren. As well as one sister and one brother.

IL lawmaker pushing earlier same-sex marriage date
By Amanda Vinicky
"We would substitute an immediate effective date, which means as soon as this new bill is signed into law, it would accelerate the effectiveness of marriage equality. And whether that's Valentine's Day of next year or some other date, we could make sure folks have access to equality earlier than they would after the governor signs this bill."
Gay-rights advocates back the idea.
But rekindling the same-sex marriage debate could open up raw political wounds. Harmon says he's sensitive to that, and is not trying to upset anyone.

BOGOTA (TrustLaw) - Sprightly toddlers run about on a grassy field, outside what seems like a normal nursery with colourful walls and swings and slides in the playground. But the guards sporting blue camouflage gear and the barbed wire fence give the game away.
The nursery is inside the confines of Colombia's largest women's jail, the Good Shepherd prison, nestled in a residential neighbourhood in eastern Bogotá. Thirty five babies and toddlers live here with their mothers under a program the country began several years ago.
Teresa Rodriguez, who has completed one year of a 32-month sentence for drug dealing, says the nursery, where her one-year-old son spends most of the day, is a lifeline.
"Don't get me wrong, I wish he could play outside of the prison, but the nursery is a good place for him where he can play with other children and have toys," says Rodriguez. "It makes being here more bearable."
Every week day, the prison mothers walk along the long, draughty concrete hallways to the nursery tucked away at one end of the jail, where they drop off their children. In the afternoon, they pick them up and take them back to their cells, where they sleep together.
In Colombia, mothers can keep their children with them behind bars until they are three. After that, they have to find a home for them outside the prison walls with relatives or friends, or through the state adoption agency.
"It's up to each mother to decide whether or not it's best to have their child with them in prison. I personally prefer to have him with me, even if it's in a jail," says 24-year-old Rodriguez. "Besides, I've got no-one with whom I can leave my son. The boy's father is also in prison."
In other countries across Latin America, including Peru, Argentina, and Bolivia, children are also allowed to live with their incarcerated mothers. In Mexico, children born behind bars can stay with their mothers until they are six.
Across the world, the growing trend is to let mothers keep their babies and toddlers in prison, and to provide special facilities for them.
In August, South Africa opened its first unit for imprisoned mothers and their children complete with a crèche and clinic. Earlier this month, New Zealand extended the time children can stay with their incarcerated mothers from nine months to two years.
Many experts say mothers and babies are usually better off together, even if that means being in a jail.
Imprisoned mothers with children are more likely to behave well and reintegrate back into society when they get out, goes the argument. And children separated from their mothers run a higher risk of dropping out of school and becoming criminals themselves.
In Colombia, prison mothers are entitled to food and two nappies a day for their children. Most rely on relatives and friends to bring clothes, medicine and extra food for their children during weekly visits.
But women complain it's hard to cope when babies fall ill, saying it's a constant struggle to keep small children warm and healthy in the damp cells.
"Sometimes you have to wait ages, sometimes days, for a doctor to come," Rodriguez says.
According to a 2007 report by Colombia's Attorney General's office, female inmates live in overcrowded conditions, with poor sanitation and little access to mental health and reproductive health care.
With nearly 1,830 women living in cramped quarters at the Good Shepherd prison, tensions can escalate and brawls do break out.
Drug use inside prison is not uncommon, with some women developing a habit while locked up.
But despite the insalubrious surroundings, Rodriguez says her son has never been treated badly by the other inmates. She believes children can help prevent and defuse conflicts.
"We try to help each other out and get on with each other as best we can for the sake of the children," says Rodriguez, dressed in tight jeans and a tee-shirt like most of her fellow prisoners.
The young mums have formed their own tight community. They share blankets and baby clothes, and take turns looking after each other's children when one of them is working or taking a shower. Inmates and prison guards can be seen cooing over newborn babies.
Some female prisoners get to earn $1.50 a day tending flowerbeds, cleaning or making handicrafts, which they can choose to spend at the prison's food kiosks.
Most are allowed conjugal visits, and some end up pregnant while serving their sentence, either by mistake or choice.
"It's hard living here, especially for those women who get pregnant in prison," says Rodriguez. "Some think with a baby the time will go faster, they can fill the emptiness by having a baby and they will be happier. But they underestimate how hard it is."
When asked why they're inside, many inmates simply reply "law 30" - a euphemism for any type of drug offence, from the possession of small amounts of marijuana to street dealing and big-time cocaine trafficking.
Around half of all women prisoners in Colombia are serving time for drug-related crimes, of which nearly a quarter are aged between 18 and 25. Many get involved in drug trafficking to put food on the table and escape poverty.
Growing numbers of young women, including foreigners, have been caught at Bogota's international airport, trying to smuggle heroin or cocaine abroad. Known as drug couriers, or mules, they strap the drugs to their bodies or swallow them in capsules.
The Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA), a rights group, says the region's harsh and unfair drug laws have put too many mothers and their children behind bars.
Many serve lengthy jail terms for minor drug offences, or spend months in custody awaiting trial, while the drug kingpins remain free to conduct their shady business.
Like many of her fellow inmates, what Rodriguez wants most when she leaves prison is to find work and spend more time with her family.
"I hope to do my son proud, and not depend on anyone to provide for him," she says.
