The book features 60 of Iwasa's designs, or haute "cature" pieces, which are expertly modeled by her two very well-behaved cats, Princess Prin and Prince Kotaro. It also includes a ton of other treats for Cat Prin fans, like bios on Iwasa, Prin and Kotaro; Vice magazine's original 2008 interview with Iwasa; special text from the cats themselves; a diary by Iwasa; and projects for the budding cat fashion designer.
"Everyone was going crazy for the book," says Vice associate editor Ellis Jones, who co-edited Fashion Cats. "Cute cats dressed up and they're looking at the camera so seriously. It's so cute, it's almost absurd."
Fashion Cats is on sale now in stores and online.

Taking a sketchbook out into nature to create a flower drawing can be as helpful as any studio session. Studying the organic forms of a flower as they occur in nature allows artists to sharpen their skills with gesture, color, and light and shadow. And, arguably, the shape and "design" of a flower or budding plant can challenge the artist just as the figure does because both are complex and take a sharp eye to discern their proportions and structure.
Transporting a cut flower indoors and arranging it in a vase is always a good way to learn how to draw flowers, too, because it pushes artists to arrange strong compositions and figure out a focal point or center of interest for a still life arrangement or floral painting.
There is no one way to draw flowers. Artists take this pursuit in many different directions—from creating impressionistic works that emphasize color and gesture to more naturalistic pieces that emphasize the appearance and details of the specific flower itself.
Because flower drawings and floral paintings often are most often experiments in line and color, artists will work with graphite, pen and ink, pastel, or watercolor when delving into this genre, but truly there is no medium that is off-limits to this subject matter. It is up to the artist to decide how best he or she can create a rose drawing, for example, and to be true to their own vision.
Shop Flower and Drawing Products
Flower drawing for Susan Van Campen is not a matter of arranging an aesthetically pleasing setup or conceiving the most striking composition. It is instead about drawing the life of a flower—the naturalistic details that give each its own likeness. "My aim is not to create a pretty picture," the artist emphasizes. "Rather, I am trying to capture the character of the flower—almost as if I'm painting a portrait."
Van Campen employs the versatile, direct medium of watercolor—and has come to love the process. "In oil painting, each brushstroke counts," the artist explains. "But, with watercolor, great things can often happen without the artist expending too much effort. In the beginning, when I was first learning watercolor, it was difficult to adjust to the medium, but the more I worked with it, the more I realized the water actually does a lot of the work. It's one of those things you can't teach—just like anything else in life, the more you do it, the better you become at it."
Van Campen always creates her flower drawing art from life—sometimes sitting on the ground in her garden directly from the subject, while other times she'll cut a bunch of branches and bring them inside, setting them up on white surfaces and in front of white walls.
Once inside, Van Campen arranges her setup to bring the most clarity and focus to the subject. "I work on a large white counter with a plain wall behind it," she describes. "Everything is cleared away so I can concentrate only on the fruit, flowers, and vases that I want to draw or paint." The artist always stands when she works indoors, keeping her paper on the counter and her paints on the chair next to her. She uses Winsor & Newton watercolors and Arches 300-lb cold-pressed paper and notes the dramatic turn her work took when she changed the quality of her materials. "When I first started painting in watercolor, I used cheap brushes and paper," Van Campen admits. "When I switched to a higher-quality paper, I was astonished at how much my work improved—the water and the pigment hit the paper in a completely different way."
In addition to the quality of her paper, Van Campen counts preserving the white of her background as greatly adding to the freshness and spontaneity of her work. "For me, it's important to have that white background spacing the flowers," she says. "It's like painting a portrait—I wouldn't want a lot going on in the background distracting from the face of the person. The same is true when drawing or painting flowers—having a white background and surface simplifies everything for me and the viewer. There's no clutter, and the focus is on only the characteristic details of the flower."
Once satisfied with her arrangement, Van Campen begins composing, starting by drawing only the vases or bowls. "I never sketch the flowers, just the containers holding them," the artist explains. "In a sense, I am drawing flowers all along—only I'm drawing with my paintbrush. I don't work with a dry brush at all, nor do I work in washes. I am very direct with the paint and am basically just playing with puddles of water throughout the process—a puddle here for the shape of a flower, a puddle there for a stem or leaf—and, as I add the pigment to the puddle, I watch how it's going to react. At any given moment, I may have four or five wet areas of paint, so I have to be aware of what's going on around the paper. Because I have been doing this for so long, I know how the water is going to treat the pigment, and I use that knowledge to describe the shape of what I'm painting."

"I think that the reason people love drawing is because it's so basic," says Joan Wadleigh Curran matter-of-factly. "It's how we first learn to interpret our world in a visual manner." For Curran, drawing is both a foundational skill and a means of translating images and concepts that inspire her. The artist works in a range of media, including charcoal, oil, and gouache, preferring one over another at various times depending on the source of her inspiration.
Regardless of how her work is labeled, the artist's focus is always clear: The symbiotic, and at times antagonistic, relationship between people and the landscape. "For a while I was interested in the subject of gardens," she says, "because it was a perfect example of man controlling and altering nature. In a lot of ways a garden shows as much about the creator as anything else."
Curran has always enjoyed painting the natural world, but upon moving to Philadelphia, she found herself attracted to another facet of her environment. While out one day gathering photographic references, she came upon a tree that was in the process of being pruned and felt compelled to record how to draw a tree like this in the condition she found it. "It had become gnarled from the pruning," she recalls. "That's when I became interested in the relationship between man and nature, especially natural organisms living in an urban context."
With this in mind, Curran's exploration led her to subjects that are rarely noticed by passersby—the weeds, branches, and roots that break through pavement and fencing in order to survive. The resulting charcoal plant-life sketches and flower drawings are intimate and detailed while also being representational. No doubt the black-and-white image connotes a sense of reportage, but through her use of the white of the paper and dynamic composition, these objects become elevated.
Vegetation, normally the bane of every gardener or landscaper, is given the attention of a fine flower drawing illustration. "I've always been interested in the singularity of objects and their power," the artist says, "and because I'm extracting the object from the landscape once I'm back in my studio, I tend to think of it as isolated. But I take this approach because doing so allows me to really analyze and decode what about the image turned me on in the first place.
"I build up the image slowly through hatching," she says, noting that it may take her two weeks or longer to complete a drawing. "I'll use some smudging and erasure to get the lights I want. I like to have the full range of values so that I can really convey a sense of drama." She works on Stonehenge paper because its vellum surface can withstand repeated erasure without fuzzing.

Working from nature can give an artist a greater sense of texture, delicate gradations of light and shadow, gesture and movement, and color. But what is most helpful about learning how to draw flowers is that this subject matter can most often be sketched and drawn according to your own comfort and pace. Knowing that, and with the tips below, you'll be well on your way toward making the most out of every moment you spend with pencil in hand.
Take down bits of information. Going out to a nearby park or meadow and taking note of different pieces of visual information is a great way to warm up for a flower drawing sketch session. These jottings can stay as they are in your sketchbook or become the basis of a more finished drawing later on.
How to draw a rose. A rose drawing is iconic, but sometimes challenging to create. The trick is in the gesture of each stroke. Drag your implement--charcoal, for example--in one gesture that captures the shape and position of the petals of the flower. It may take more than one try, but working to create the flower's bud with less strokes will make it look more realistic, believe it or not.
Start with an outline. Outlining the bold shapes of a leaf or flower is a great way to start a flower drawing or floral painting because it gives you a sense of how the forms create a pattern or visual rhythm. You can also begin to see the flower as a whole as opposed to its many parts, which can be helpful when trying to create strong cohesion in a flower drawing.

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) -- A statement attributed to a radical Islamist sect in Nigeria known as Boko Haram says the group launched attacks that left at least 58 dead including two lawmakers in a region violently divided by religion.
The statement obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press said the group was responsible for the attacks in Plateau state where authorities say hundreds of assailants stormed into about a dozen villages Saturday. It said the group would continue to attack government officials and Christians. It said Christians "will not know peace again" if they do not accept Islam.
The attacks occurred in a region of Nigeria's "middle belt" where the country's mostly Muslim north meets its predominantly Christian south.
Clashes between local Muslim and Christian communities there have left hundreds dead over the last couple of years.
Boko Haram is adding a new dimension to those tensions.

McGinnis: CHIKARA returnsWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
In the summer of 2010, the independent wrestling company named CHIKARA ran several shows in the Midwest, including its first appearance in Michigan. Speaking then with Toledo Free Press Star, the company's co-founder and owner, Mike Quackenbush, said expanding to new areas was always a gamble for a small promotion like his own.
But the gamble paid off, and now CHIKARA will return to the Midwest starting on June 24 with a show in Chicago, followed by stops in Taylor, Mich., on June 25 and the greater Cleveland area June 26.
"I don't know that the Midwest would humor us more than once a year, but an annual visit doesn't seem to hurt," said Quackenbush in a recent interview.
Last year's shows had the added benefit of appearances by former-and-future WWE star Bryan Danielson, who had been controversially released just days before. But Quackenbush said that he felt CHIKARA's brand of wrestling was more than capable of bringing in audiences even without Danielson on this year's cards.
"I think people come to see our brand because they like what we do. I don't doubt that many people gave us a look thanks to the fortunate timing of that, but people come back to see us again and again because they grow attached to our overall aesthetic, more than to a single performer," he said.
With gleefully over-the-top characters, an emphasis on being family-friendly and more, CHIKARA's unique product indeed sets it apart from much of modern wrestling, and has led to the company drawing an increasingly devoted base of fans. Major events like this April's "King of Trios" have been some of the company's most successful to date, with "KOT" becoming CHIKARA's best-selling DVD ever.
"It's a great vote of confidence from the fans out there," Quackenbush said of "Trio's" success. "This is their stamp of approval. Those numbers don't lie. People really, truly enjoyed this event, maybe more than anything else we've done in 10 seasons."
But for all the highs CHIKARA has seen in the past 12 months, there has been one tragic low. Alex Whybrow, who trained with the company and performed as "Larry Sweeney," tragically passed away in April. Whybrow had appeared for CHIKARA as recently as last November.
"We've never weathered something quite like this. But the CHIKARA family is stronger for having to face this down together," Quackenbush said of Whybrow's passing. "We've lost a brother. And we all wrestle with the sadness, the guilt, the anger, all those crazy emotions that come with it
, and we face it down together. We cherish each other a little more these days, because we all see how fragile our existence is. And we all hope to never suffer something like this again."
The company's major storyline event of 2011 — a months-long tournament to determine the first CHIKARA champion — has been dedicated to Whybrow's memory. The company has existed for nearly a decade, which seems like a long delay before finally crowning its first champion, but Quackenbush said the wait was by design.
"For me personally, I always find it laughable when a wrestling company crowns a champion on its first card. What are you the champion of then? An organization that is three hours old? Show some longevity. Evince some tenure first. This is our 10th season. We've built a global bra
nd with an identity and vision uniquely ours. It's time for one person to emerge as the champion of what we've grown into."
That identity is often at odds with the expectations of "mainstream" wrestling, which suits Quackenbush and his company's fans just fine. "I tried to watch some WWE a few weeks back, to see if Mistico would be on, and I wanted to claw my eyes out before the first commercial break," Quackenbush said.
CHIKARA definitely does not present the same product as WWE — nor does it want to. "We are a lot like college radio," Quackenbush said. "There are ideas out there, maybe just outside the mainstream, worthy of attention. Worthy of experimentation. Not everyone listens to Top 40 FM radio. Not everyone listens to the same band, over and over and over.
"That's like watching WWE and nothing else. It's bland, it's middle of the road, and maybe, it's a little played out. But there's something fresh waiting just down the dial, if you dare to turn it. There is more than one approach to the pro-wrestling performance genre. If we can open people's minds to that, then we are doing something of real value."

The Case for a Facility Dog Program from the Summit County, OH Prosecutors Office
In Summit County, the judges have reacted favorably to our facility dog program thus far. We anticipate adding Ohio to the growing number of states that support the use of facility dogs in the courtroom. Canine Companions for Independence provided us with our facility dog, Avery, free of charge in mid-August. Since joining our staff, Avery has met with numerous adults and children. All of them say how much better they feel when Avery puts his head on their lap or curls up on an oversized chair with them. They even excitedly ask when they can come back to see Avery.

New Whitepaper about Mental Health and Juvenile Justice
Did you know that 65 to 75 percent of youth in contact with the juvenile justice system have a diagnosable mental health disorder? But, the juvenile justice system is not always the best or most appropriate place for them to access the services they need.

A bit much? Maybe, but our doctor at the time was a skier and understood our fanatic behavior. The two older boys switched to snowboarding a few years ago and Anthony will go to the "dark side" as soon as we let him. Having done some ski instructing in the past, I felt comfortable getting all three started on skis. When it came to snowboarding however, I felt it best to hire a professional, which I think paid off in the long run.
Beartown and Pisgah are fun, affordable and friendly places to introduce youngsters to either sport. Titus was wise to install a gentle chairlift on their beginner hill and Whiteface has dedicated a whole campus to kids. If you choose to teach them yourself, there are some useful tools to help. The tip connector is basically a small bungee cord that clips on to both tips to encourage the wedge turn. This is handy, although, some modern teaching techniques do not encourage the "snowplow" anymore.
Another handy tool is a small backpack or fanny pack worn by the child with straps attached. This allows the parent to follow behind, holding the reins, while controlling speed and direction. It saves your back and it is one of the few applications where leashing your child or driving them like livestock is acceptable, even celebrated.
Get them out there at an early age. You won't regret it and someday, if you are patient, they'll thank you for it.

2 quarts
2 pounds
octopus, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 tablespoon
vegetable oil
1 cup
diced carrots
1 cup
diced celery
2 cups
cubed potatoes
1/2 cup
crushed dry pasilla chile peppers
1/2 cup
chopped onion, or to taste
1 cup
diced tomato
1 1/2 pounds
large shrimp in shells
1 cup
fresh corn kernels
salt to taste
Great taste and very flexible. I had a bag of frozen mixed seafood (shrimp, octopus, squid, muscles, etc.), and I wanted to do a nice soup with it. I used this recipe, and it turned out very good. I would love to try it with fresh octopus.
I have a large pot that is also good for frying, so I poured the liquid and seafood into the fried vegetables. I think it really brought out the flavor.
Maybe I did something wrong, I followed the instructions though.It,s like fishy water and the octopus is like trying to chew a pencil eraser. Won't try this again.

My husband and I love Octopus and shrimp. This receipe is great. Tried it with family and they loved it. It has a lot of flavor.
I had a pack of surimi, baby shrimp, squid, and octopus that I pulled out of the freezer to make this. This made a good base. I made a couple substitutions: 2 quarts low sodium chicken broth for the water, 1/4 cup green chiles for the pasilla chile peppers, For seasoning, I used flax oil, minced garlic, chipotle red pepper, parsley, and salt.I left out the potatoes... Awesome good. This was a great find for a seafood lover. Thanks for sharing!
I added Cilantro to the stock and it tasted even better! The soup base was good but needed a little pizzaz.
Soup turned out great. I subbed the octopus for calamari. (octopus would of been great, but the crowd I was serving was alittle timid).
I have made this recipe five times and it still is good. I added muscles, squid, and cutter fish. No matter how you make it this is a very good recipe. Thanks
I had a bag of mixed seafood and a bag of imitation crabmeat that I got on clearance at Target. I was looking for a recipe to use it and came across this one. Turned out wonderfully! I didn't have any celery so I used celery salt, and used both fresh and stewed tomatoes. I also added a little comino powder to give it a little smokiness. I will definitely be making this again! It was so easy, so fast, and so delicious!

O Canada! You do it SO well. Your Provincial Parks are jewels, and Blanket Creek is no exception. We were dry camping of course, so there weren't showers. It would have been more fun if there hadn't been a ban on campfires throughout the West, but that's nobody's fault. No WiFi, Internet, telephone service or TV. There had been bear sightings, but the park operator told us that it was a black bear and not predatory. What's not to like? - minerals44

Beautiful sites throughout. Great walking trail down to Arrow Lake with incredible views to the east. Nice at sunrise. Park staff seemed to be overly uptight about a dog off the leash sitting under a picnic table. Very nice campground if you can survive without hookups. - karube
Jun 2012 - $21.00
This was our second visit and again it was great. Nice large sites cut out of the forest. Runs along a beautiful river. No hook-ups. No showers. Combination of pit and flush toilets. Nice man made lagoon for swimming. Hiking trails that lead to a nice waterfall within the campground. More hiking trails nearby. We will stay here again. - trump5

We camped here for one night. We showed up on a Thursday without reservations looking for a one night stay. No problem, lots of room. We were offered a choice of a couple of sites (sites 40 or 41) so we scoped them out and chose the one we thought would be most level for our rented 27' 5th wheel. Neither site was great and it took a while to back in (newbies here) and find the most level spot. Wifi was good, no problems getting onto the network, although we were very close to the main office so not sure if that made a difference. Cable is offered but none of the channels we could pick up were very clear. The outdoor pool was very clean, as was the park in general. Overall we got the impression not a lot of work has been done to maintain or improve the grounds in several years. Our site was sort of half grass half gravel. Power hookups looked outdated but worked ok. Overall we'd probably return if just for one night, as the host was very gracious and helpful. And, feeling lazy we were able to have pizza delivered to our site from one of the places recommended to us by the host. - User3515
Jul 2012 - $43.00
What a disappointment! Sites were so tiny that the parking spots at Costco seem roomy by comparison. Fire pits are old and falling apart. Picnic tables are old and falling apart. Showers are brand new, but only 50% of the toilets working (in the women's, at least) because signs say they are not level and cannot be used. Mud everywhere (poor drainage). Sites were more expensive than advertised online (when we asked about this the lady at the desk said: "Well, of course, the website's from 2009", although this was not told to us when we phoned them to book). "Heated Pool" advertised was freezing, and is closed until 1pm daily (not at all useful for the kids). "WiFi" that was supposed to be available at camp site was actually only available near main building. Lots of construction going on...maybe one day it will be a nice spot, but there is DEFINITELY a good reason why it had "lots of space" (as the lady at the front desk told us on the phone) at the last minute on a gorgeous July weekend. Huge trains pass by all day and night right behind the campground, with Highway 1 directly in front. - cdnnurse1995
Aug 2010 - $39.00
Sites unlevel, hard to set up and sewer above ground too much for draining. Wi-fFi only at sites close to office. Manager charged us $3939.00 for site, put in for refund and then charged $39.00. Now our bank is having us file a dispute as we were charged the VISA 1% fee on the $3939.00 and rate of exchange fee, so the site cost us additional $53. She should have canceled the transaction, but didn't know how, BEWARE! Highway noise was extremely loud! Will never stay here again. - djtel

Beautiful setting and nice looking sites. However, the pool is extra and it's about $13.95for a 24 hr pass or $9.95 for a single day use, in addition to the camping fee. Also, it's disappointing that there is no WiFi available. I think that it doesn't quite meet the hype but it's a nice park to stay in. - Fannybaystar
Sep 2011 - $43.00
Well this park was a disappointment. The scenery was beautiful. The WiFi, according to the office, gets turned on 9 am to 11 am and 5 pm to 7 pm but doesn't usually work. So the advertised WiFi doesn't work and the cable TV didn't work at any sites. Our friend was charged $45. for being over 37 feet long with his fifth wheel for being oversize and got the regular sized lot. After that showers are metered for $3.00 for 6 minutes and it costs $8.50 for one time in the "hot springs" pool which is mountain water which has been reheated? - Snooker2
Jul 2010 - $40.00
This campground is hilly but nice. We were installed in the lower area on grass where no Wi-Fi was available. The problem with this campground is that we have to pay for everything: $3 for a shower, $3 for extra person over 4 years old, $12 for a day-pass to the pool, per person. The frequent trains nearby are very annoying. I would never return here. - LucettedeGagne

Gravel driveways, reasonably level sites all on grass with firepit, some are really narrow, some pull throughs, water with enough pressure, 30 amp power, no 50 amp available, sewer, basic cable TV, WiFi at first wasn't working but then got another one to connect to and it was fine. Nice setup among some trees, I didn't try the satellite but it should work on most sites. Hookups are somewhat dated but working. Washrooms need a MAJOR update. Showers are coin op but too small, not enough hooks, no shelve or bench, no door just curtains. Setup goes back to the sixties! Laundry has toploaders only. Staff is very friendly and very helpful. I would come back if again in the area. - CamperAndy

The Lamplighter has been a consistent winner. In the center of the park is the beautiful home of the owners. Park was a nice mixture of large and medium sized rigs and tent campers. Hookups were excellent. Revelstoke is a charming town full of shops and things to see and do. - flugelboneman
Aug 2014 - $36.00
Stayed two nights. Overall a nice campground. Sites were a little cramped: my neighbour was less than 4 feet off the edge of my awning. Campground had dated but acceptable washrooms and did have a camp kitchen where those camping with tents could go and wash dishes. Campground was pretty close to the CP rail main line, we didn't mind as we like that type of noise but it did not disrupt our sleep. Owners were very helpful and willing to pass on local knowledge. Campground is 2.5 miles from the town centre - we rode our bikes in. If I could give half points would rate this campsite as a 6.5. - neilmcb2002

Typical updated B.C. Provincial Park a few km north of Revelstoke dam, no noise, no nothing with a very nice setting on the lake, asphalt driveways, level sites most on gravel, some on asphalt, longer and shorter sites, absolutely scenic, especially the sites along the lakeshore, there are sites further away from the lake with trees, so choose what you like. No problem for a 36' motorhome, all sites with fire pit. No hookups at all, so bring all the water you can and empty grey & black holding tanks. Both, pit toilets and WC with basin to wash your hands! No showers. Boat ramp and good fishing. Can be very busy on long weekends and sites can be reserved online. Firewood is available for a fee and dumping costs extra too. We will definitely stay there again. We camped at Martha Creek Provincial Park in a Motorhome. - CamperAndy
Sep 2013 - $24.00
This is a great place to go if you are looking for quiet and scenic. A majority of campgrounds and RV parks in BC and Alberta have train noise, but not here. All we heard here was the crackling of our neighbors' campfire and the splash of rising fish on the lake. The lake is great for fishing or paddling and there is a good boat launch available in the park. The only downfall here is the lack of a dump station (nearest is in Revelstoke), so your stay is limited by how far you can make your holding tanks last. There are fresh water taps in the park to fill from. Sites are long and large. Most are pretty close to one another, but when you consider you are right on the lakeshore, somehow you forget about your neighbor. Half or more of the sites are on the lake the rest have views of the lake. Park attendant was helpful and pleasant and the place is very well-maintained. Some sites are reservable. We will return here again and again. - Big White

This is a wonderful place to stay. Easy to get into with a big rig. Owners can't do enough for you. Open site. They have a yogurt business in the Ark, which is fabulous. Close to 3 Valley Gap, also a must see. Excellent resort, worth the stop. - a lessard

This is a quirky little RV park. The owners have spent 20 years working on it ... and there is much left to accomplish. But it still was a pleasant night after our visits to Jasper and Banff. The restrooms were clean and the showers were the best we encountered on our trip (7 campgrounds visited). There was just a bit of road noise, but the highway traffic really drops off after dark. The RV park is actually about 18 miles west of the Town of Revelstoke. Site was grass-covered and reasonably level. We were well satisfied with our stay here. - Pete_by_the_river

We were traveling from Radium to Kelowna and wanted to have a stopover in the Revelstoke area. We picked this campground because of the reviews and because they offered low season rates, which other parks in the vicinity did not appear to do. This is a small, owner-run campground with a great family atmosphere. The view from our campsite was gorgeous and the WiFi was free (and worked most of the time, depending on number of users). This is the kind of camping we like...a feeling of wilderness, but amenities like full service sites and WiFi available. The owners were super friendly and we enjoyed some nice conversations with them about the RV lifestyle. We would definitely stop here again and maybe stay longer next time! - Foretravelers

This park is getting a little run down. We were first assigned to a site that was very muddy. When we asked for another site, we were given one where the electrical box was wired shut. The site next to it was the same way. Apparently they didn't work. We finally got a site with a full hook-up that worked. This one even had 40 channels of cable TV. WiFi only works near the office. There are WiFi transmitters in the park, but apparently they don't work. All sites gravel and mostly level. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Some train noise, but not bad. This campground is OK for an overnight. - Tetrode

Good for an overnight. However, there were two problem black bears in the park because trash was not secured in a bear-proof dumpster. The Internet only worked in a small area next to the office, but picnic tables under a tent were provided for tech users. This park featured a duck pond. - The Borgs

This is a great park! We stayed in site 73, a pull through 30 amp with water. Staff at check in were very friendly, and we were early enough we had our choice of sites. Kids loved the pool and the 2 parks. We went for a nice walk in the evening and got to take in the different flowers and trees along the way. The sites are nice and level with a picnic table and fire pit. Lots of travelers arrive in the evening, so arrive early if you can or reserve a site. The lower meadow campground seemed less desirable. There were more mosquitoes, and we didn't see any toilets or showers. The only downfall is our site had dirt instead of gravel that some of the other sites had. It got a little dusty, but we just had to sweep the trailer an extra time or two. We would definitely recommend this campground. Yes you can hear the hwy at night, but it's not terrible. - Jenni_867

We were here three years ago, and it has not gotten any better. Small RV and tent park situated at a local lake attraction. Great for families and party groups, with swimming, putt-putt, play areas, boat rentals, paddle boards, fishing, etc. Don't come if you don't care about those and want to get to sleep at a reasonable hour. My rating is for the physical amenities alone; it wouldn't be fair to give it a 3 or 4 because I don't have kids and want a quiet campsite. Now the park - some pull-throughs, some back-ins, and many tent sites. All are dirt, gravel, or grass, some shaded, some in the open. Site amenities vary; some have full service, others lack sewers, TV, or electricity. My sewer connection was higher than my outlet (the dump station on the way out is excellent). Interior roads are all gravel. While the location is suitably far from highways and railroads, and still near town, locals can overwhelm the lakeside areas and fill the roadsides with parking. Bathrooms are so-so, only cold water is available. Cell reception is good, but WiFi is terrible or non-existent except near the office. - Doug Atterbury

An older park. Some construction work going on putting in a new office area. Running the office out of a travel trailer at the moment. It was dusty during our stay caused by the hot dry weather. A good place for a night or two for sure. - Gunnar

The campground is now under new management and she is working hard to freshen and update the facilities. A new snack bar and patio are under construction. As others have mentioned, the park sets alongside a lake, but the sites are not on the water. The campground offers sites with full hookups, electric only, and no hookups. We had a nice, level pull-through site with plenty of room for our 4-slide, 40' RV and tow. We would definitely return to stay longer and rent a canoe! - DiplomatTraveler

- Class features as probes (2008)
- In this article, we adress (i) the form and (ii) the function on inflection class features in minimalist grammar. The empirical evidence comes from noun inflection systems involving fusional markers in German, Greek, and Russian. As for (i), we argue (based on instances of transparadigmatic syncretism) that class features are not privative; rather, class information must be decomposed into more abstract, binary features. Concerning (ii), we propose that class features qualify as the very device that brings about fusional infection: They are uninterpretable in syntax and actas probes on stems, with matching inflection markers as goels, and thus trigger morphological Agree operations that merge stem and inflection marker before syntax is reached.
- Pieces of the be perfect in German and older English (2006)
- This paper examines the development of periphrastic constructions involving auxiliary "have" and "be" with a past participle in the history of English, on the basis of parsed electronic corpora. It is argued that the two constructions represented distinct syntactic and semantic structures: while the one with have developed into a true perfect in the course of Middle English, the one with be remained a stative resultative throughout its history. In this way, it is explained why the be construction was rarely or never used in a number of contexts, including past counterfactuals, iteratives, duratives, certain kinds of infinitives and various other utterance types that cannot be characterized as perfects of result. When the construction with have became a true perfect, it was used in such contexts, regardless of the identity of the main verb, leading to the appearance of have with verbs like come which had previously only taken be. Crucially, however, have was not spreading at the expense of be, as the be perfect had never been used in such contexts, but rather at the expense of the old simple past. At least until the end of the Early Modern English period, the shift in the relative frequency of have and be perfects is to be explained in terms of the expansion of the former into new contexts, while the latter remained stable. A formal analysis is proposed, taking as its starting point a comparison with German which shows that the older English be perfect indeed behaves more like the German stative passive than its haben and sein perfects.

PHILADELPHIA -- A bleary-eyed Ian Laperriere, with 70 stitches above his right eye, spoke of the meaning of sacrifice last Thursday after being struck by a puck against the New Jersey Devils.
That play will force Laperriere to sacrifice the rest of the playoffs after he was diagnosed with a brain contusion Tuesday.
"Playoffs are all about sacrifice," Laperriere said. "You need to block shots, need to do what it takes and we'll have to sacrifice our bodies even more in the next series."
Laperriere suffered a non-displaced fracture of the orbital bone after taking a Paul Martin slap shot to the face in the third period of the clinching fifth game against New Jersey. Flyers GM Paul Holmgren said the contusion diagnosis would leave Laperriere out indefinitely.
"They say I have a bruise in my brain and they don't want any bleeding in there," Laperriere said. "We're hockey players. We take pride in playing with injuries, but that's one thing I just can't afford to do for the sake of my family. Trust me, I want to be out there. It's the type of play I've done 10,000 times in my career and I'm going to do it again. It's a matter of bad timing, I guess. I'm disappointed about that but I'm going to be a cheerleader and do whatever it takes. If my teammates need anything I'll be right behind them, cheering them on to the Stanley Cup Final."
Holmgren and Laperriere received the news from Dr. Joseph Maroon, the chief neurosurgeon and Vice Chairman and Professor at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
Laperriere is doubtful he'll return to the ice at some point during these playoffs.
"You never know, but it'll take a little miracle," he said. "It's something I certainly won't mess with. Hockey is my passion, but my kids are my life and I have to think about that. Who knows if we go to the Finals, but the way the doctors were talking to me, there's not too much chance that'll it'll heal that quick."
With prescribed rest, doctors told Laperriere the spot on the front of his brain eventually will disappear, at which time he might be able to resume light skating. Until then, he'll do whatever the organization needs him to do.
"If Lavi (coach Peter Laviolette), the coaching staff or the players want me, I'll be around," he said. "I'll be there game nights and I'll be bored out of my mind, but I'll do whatever to support the team. I know one thing -- I won't be there in the locker room next to them. I don't think it's my place, but I'll stop by and cheer them on."
Laperriere, recipient of the Yanick Dupre Class Guy Memorial Award and the Gene Hart Memorial Award as the Flyers player who demonstrated the most heart during the season, will be missed on the ice, but he expects his teammates to follow his inspirational lead and fight to finish no matter the opponent.
He was encouraged by the play of the team in the opening round and feels the best is yet to come.
"The way we played that first series, the sky's the limit," he said. "The way the guys are playing and Prongs (Chris Pronger) and all those leaders. I wouldn't be dreaming to think this team could win the Cup. Just the way we played the first round, the way I watched them practice (Tuesday), the way guys are excited and the way they have their legs under them.
"It's hard for me to watch them do that because I wish I was out there, but it's encouraging for me because I can see them doing real well in the next couple of weeks."
Laperriere never has scored more than the 21 goals he scored for the Colorado Avalanche in 2005-06, and has accrued fewer than 100 penalty minutes just once (in 2003-04 with the Los Angeles Kings). But it's his propensity to sacrifice his body by blocking shots and his desire on the penalty kill that have made him one of the League's most admired performers.
Flyers coach Peter Laviolette had several call-ups at Tuesday's practice at the Flyers Skate Zone in Voorhees, N.J. Holmgren said he expects one to hopefully fill the huge void Laperriere leaves.
"We tried some different guys in practice (Tuesday) but it's hard to replace Ian, particularly on the penalty kill," Holmgren said. "He's a heart-and-soul guy on our hockey team, and it's hard to replace that. I would think that guys like (Darroll) Powe, Claude Giroux and Scott Hartnell will get more involved now and some of the guys who killed penalties in the minors like (Jonathon) Kalinski and (Andreas) Nodl are certainly guys we could use."

Unemployed Cambridge man, who caused £1,221 of damage to girlfriend's window, ordered to pay back just half the cost
Posted: January 10, 2014|
A MAN smashed his girlfriend's window after they had a heated row on a night out.
Timothy Smith, of Ditton Fields. Cambridge, broke down his partner's gate before breaking her front window, causing £1,221 worth of damage.
A court heard how Smith and his partner had fought at a friend's house, which ended with her slapping him, in the evening of November 30.
Smith then left the friend's house and returned to the house he was sharing with his partner at the time, and smashed the windows.
The 37-year-old pleaded guilty to criminal damage at Cambridge Magistrates' Court yesterday (January 9).
Sandeep Kainth, mitigating, said Smith had broke into the house because he didn't have his key and asked that the defendant's early guilty plea be taken into consideration.
Due to unemployed Smith's financial circumstances, he was ordered to pay just under half of the damage caused to the window and gate in compensation.
Malcolm Kane, chairman of the bench, said: "You caused more than £1,000 worth of damage.
"You are unemployed with no income. We are going to make an order they you pay £500 in compensation at a maximum rate of £10 per fortnight, to be deducted from your benefits."
"But, as this was damage done to your partner, you have a moral duty to her."

NIST has an ongoing program in small-field therapy dosimetry studies using alanine/EPR.
An international protocol is under development by the IAEA and the AAPM to address the difficult problems of small-field dosimetry in radiation therapy (e.g., GammaKnife, IMRT, Cyber Knife, TomoTherapy), encountered when going from national standards in large reference fields to small fields, through the use of alanine/EPR dosimetry. The NIST currently provides measurement support for an ongoing survey of approximately 100 Leksell Gamma Knife (LGK) units worldwide in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Center, and is planning (1) the use of smaller alanine pellets to address smaller fields, and (2) the increase in sensitivity by appropriate use of EPR signal-generating reference material and more complex signal-analysis software. If successful, the use of small alanine pellets to characterize radiation treatment fields would significantly improve both the spatial resolution and accuracy of clinical dosimetry.

What are the signs of vaginal problems?
Vaginal symptoms are a common problem that sends women to their health care providers every day. Vaginal symptoms range from mild dryness and itching to painful sores and lesions.
Vaginal symptoms include:
Bleeding and menstrual irregularities
Bumps and lumps
Odor that may be fishy-smelling
Pain or discomfort, such as rawness, soreness, tenderness or throbbing
- Redness or other discoloration
Sores or lesions
Unusual discharge that can be clear, white, yellow, or blood-tinged in color and mucus-like, curd-like, thin, or watery in consistency
OB/GYN Spotlight
Vaginal symptoms can vary in character and severity depending on the underlying cause and individual factors. They can be constant or only felt during certain activities, such as urination or sexual intercourse. Vaginal symptoms can build up gradually over weeks or months, such as during perimenopause, or they can appear suddenly, such as vaginal bleeding caused by miscarriage or vaginal trauma.
Vaginal symptoms can be caused by a variety of mild to serious diseases, disorders or conditions within the vagina, such as a vaginal yeast infection (vaginal thrush), or other reproductive organs or body systems. For example, vaginal symptoms can be caused by uterine cancer, diabetes, pelvic inflammatory disease, and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Vaginal symptoms can also be caused by physical and environmental factors, such as an irritating fabric softener or wearing tight undergarments.
Some underlying causes of vaginal symptoms, such as STDs and diabetes, can lead to serious complications if untreated. Seek prompt medical care if you have vaginal symptoms, such as unusual bleeding, discharge, vaginal odor, or pain. Early diagnosis and treatment of the cause of vaginal symptoms reduces the risk of potential complications. Seek immediate medical care (call 911) if you have heavy, uncontrolled vaginal bleeding or bleeding during pregnancy.
What other symptoms might occur with vaginal symptoms?
Vaginal symptoms often occur in conjunction with one another, such as vaginal itching and vaginal discharge. Symptoms that occur with vaginal symptoms may also be felt in other areas of the body, such as vaginal pain coupled with abdominal pain. These symptom combinations vary depending on the underlying disease, dis... Read more about vaginal symptomssymptoms
What causes vaginal symptoms?
Vaginal symptoms can be caused by a variety of mild to serious diseases, disorders or conditions of the vagina, cervix, genitals, reproductive organs and other body systems or organs. Vaginal symptoms can also be due to physical factors in your environment that cause vaginal irritation or an allergic reaction of the vaginal tissues.
