Twenty young ladies and their dolls took "high tea" together at the Betsey Mills Club's sixth annual American Girl Holiday Tea Party in Marietta Sunday afternoon.
"I didn't know about the proper things to do during a tea party, like where to put your napkin and how to speak properly," said 7-year-old Taylor Starkey of Beverly as she took a sip of tea, pinky finger pointed away from the cup handle.
Megan Becker, 10, of Whipple said she learned a few things, too, during Sunday's party.

"We get to do crafts and learn a lot about the different dolls and their history," she said. "I have four dolls at home, and this doll, Saige, is the doll of the year."
Several girls also brought their "Saige" American Girl dolls to the tea party.
"They're like little mothers-and each brings her doll to the tea party," said Pat Hunter whose granddaughters, Paige and Madeline Kuhl, attended Sunday's party.

A subsidiary of the Mattel Toy Company, the American Girl dolls were originally developed in 1986 and included a line of 18-inch collectible historical character dolls. In 1995 the company introduced a line of contemporary dolls called "My American Girl." The Saige character is among the contemporary dolls.
According to the company's web site, the American Girl mission is to celebrate girls by providing inspiring products for each stage of a young girl's development, from baby dolls and fantasy play through the "tween" years.
"American Girl provides a great role model for these girls," said Shauna Cornwell, activities director for the Betsey Mills Club.
"The best thing is to see the girls with their dolls-some come dressed like their dolls," she said. "And they all know about their dolls' histories."
Cornwell said the annual tea parties help teach girls about manners and ettiquette, but they're also full of fun.
"Children need to learn about proper ettiquette and manners, but we also play games and each child completes a craft," she said.
This year the youngsters painted multi-colored "suncatchers" to hang in their windows at home.
"We hold the tea parties every year at this time, around Thanksgiving, early in the season before the holidays start getting busy," Cornwell said.

Home theater systems simplify the setup of your entertainment center. Rather than purchasing speakers, a receiver, a Blu-ray player, and other components separately, you can pick one pre-matched package and have everything you need. You'll often save money, and you'll know that you aren't going to run into any compatibility issues.
When shopping for an HTIB (home theater in a box), look for the same merits as you would if you were shopping for components individually: sufficient power for you room size, clean sound with tight bass, a good feature set, and a convenient user interface.
We've consulted reviews on websites such as Audioholics, Home Theater Magazine, Newegg.com, Amazon, CNET, Consumer Reports, and BigPictureBigSound to find the top rated home theater systems on the market today:
Onkyo HT-S9400THX ($796)
- Superior HTIB sound
- Generous selection of connections
- No Blu-ray player
Top Review Sources:
- Audioholics: "We always like to have a few recommendations for HTiBs in our back pocket…This one has definitely made the cut."
- Home Theater Magazine: "This system isn't just a repository for logos but a solid performer at a reasonable price" (HT-S9300THX)
- Newegg.com: 4.0/5.0 (5+ reviews)
The Onkyo HT-S9400THX is the latest system in Onkyo's THX-certified HT-S series. Similar systems, such as the HT-S9100THX and HT-S9300THX, have collected glowing reviews across the internet, and the HT-S9400THX is continuing that trend. Onkyo's top-of-the-line prepackaged system, the HT-S9400THX is a 7.1 home theater designed for small rooms. It includes a receiver with plenty of connection options: 4 HDMI inputs/1 output, 5 composite inputs/1 output, 2 component inputs/1 output, and a front-panel USB input. By connecting the HT-S9400THX to the internet via Ethernet cable or optional UWF-1 USB wireless adapter ($30), you'll be able to stream audio from your PC as well as internet sources such as Rhapsody, Napster, SiriusXM, Pandora, Slacker, Mediafly, vTuner, and Last fm. The receiver also supports media from Windows 7, DLNA, iPod/iPhone, and USB memory stick devices. There is also a remote control app for iPad/iPhone/iPod. Included as well is the Audyssey 2EQ room correction wizard, which assists users in the initial placement and tuning of the speakers.
Aside from its flexibility and multitude of features, the HT-S9400THX simply sounds great. Reviewers of the HT-S9400THX and its predecessors rank them among the best HTIB solutions. The HT-S9400THX is intended for small rooms, but many reviewers find it is powerful enough to fill medium and large rooms with clear, authoritative sound.
You can buy the Onkyo HT-S9400THX on Amazon.
Sony BDV-E780W ($486)
- Excellent audio and video quality
- Plenty of streaming media options
- Average user interface design
Top Review Sources:
- CNET: 4.0/5.0 "One of the best Blu-ray home theater systems we've tested" (BDV-E770W)
- Amazon: 4.0/5.0 (65+ reviews) (BDV-E770W)
The Sony BDV-E780W builds upon the success of its predecessor, the BDV-E770W. The BDV-E780W is a 5.1 system that includes a 3D Blu-ray player. Audio reproduction is first-rate; treble is natural and sharp, and bass is deep and clear. Image quality from the Blu-ray player is very good and the player itself has faster than average response times when loading content. The rear speakers are wireless, which decreases setup time and adds flexibility. The largest criticism of this system's predecessor was the lack of HDMI inputs; on the BDV-E780W, this problem has been addressed. There are now inputs for 2 HDMI, 1 IR, 1 optical, 1 analog PIN, 2 USB, and 1 coaxial. Outputs are 1 HDMI, 1 component, and 1 composite. The BDV-E780W has integrated Wi-Fi as well. You can stream content from services such as Netflix, YouTube, Hulu Plus, Amazon VOD, and Pandora, plus you can wirelessly stream music from a PC. With a free app, you can turn your iPhone, iPad, or compatible Android device into a remote control.
Additionally, the Sony BDV-E780W includes an iPod/iPhone dock for direct access to the music, photos, and videos stored on your device. The BDV-E780W is Sony's flagship HTIB; it will have no problem complementing a high-end television and providing sound powerful enough to fill a medium or large room.
The Sony BDV-E780W is currently available on Amazon.
Samsung HT-D6500W ($479)
- Outstanding sound quality
- Great video quality
- Not for large rooms
Top Review Sources:
- Amazon: 4.5/5.0 (5+ reviews)
- Consumer Reports: "Best Buy" (HT-C6500W)
- BigPictureBigSound: 3.5/4.0 "An impressive package and an incredible value" (HT-C6500W)
Another HTIB carrying the positive momentum generated by its predecessor, the Samsung HT-D6500W delivers leading performance at a great price. The HT-D6500W succeeds the HT-C6500W, which was universally praised for its outstanding sound quality—much more like a separates system than a typical HTIB. The blend between the five satellites and subwoofer is seamless in the HT-D6500W. Video quality from the included 3D Blu-ray player/receiver is similarly excellent, whether the source is 1080p or standard definition. You'll be able connect your iPod through the included dock cradle. Other inputs include 2 HDMI, 1 audio, and 1 USB; there is an HDMI output as well. Wi-Fi is built-in, and you'll be able to take advantage of services from Netflix, Blockbuster, Pandora, YouTube, Hulu Plus, Facebook, and Twitter. Additionally, you can stream DLNA content from a computer. The HT-D6500W has wireless rear speakers and is appropriate for a medium-size room.
The Samsung HT-D6500W is for sale on Amazon.

Latest Feature Service Article
Celebrating Syrian Youth
Article at a glace:
- The war in Syria has been especially hard on young people. Millions of children have been denied an education, and more than half of refugee children are out of school.
- Young Syrians require the knowledge, skills, and encouragement to contribute constructively to their communities through civic engagement, starting and growing new businesses, and social entrepreneurship.
- CIPE and the Syrian Economic Forum (SEF) have introduced a new model of civic education that stands in stark contrast to the regime's propaganda and the empty promises of extremist ideologies, helping a new generation of leaders acquire an understanding of democracy and economic freedom and justice, which are essential underpinnings in shaping the way that Syria is rebuilt.
Previous Articles
Closing the Implementation Gap
This article is adapted from Improving Public Governance: Closing the Implementation Gap Between Law and Practice, published by the Center for International Private Enterprise and Global Integrity in October 2012.
Article at a glance
- Implementation gap is defined as the difference between laws on books and how they function in practice. This is particularly visible at the local level, where poor governance and weak administration of laws have the greatest impact on the lives of daily citizens.
- The cause of implementation gap is a combination of political, economic, and social and cultural factors, as well as misaligned stakeholder incentives.
- Overcoming implementation gap requires a two-pronged approach that focuses on improving the quality of laws and making sure that they correspond to real needs and concerns of the affected constituents. The three main stakeholders – the government, the private sector, and the civil society – must work together to address the challenges.
The Serbian Experience in Transition
Article at a glance
- Important lessons have emerged from Serbia's experience transitioning to democracy, including the need to capitalize on the window of opportunity and concentrate political energy to maintain momentum.
- Steps in the economic transition include macroeconomic stabilization, price liberalization, foreign trade liberalization, and privatization.
- Because the transition was only semi-successful, lessons can also be learned from Serbia's failures in transition.
Entrepreneurship in India: The Evolution of the Pedestrian Pariah
This Feature Service article is the grand prize winner in the 2012 Global Youth Essay Competition.
Article at a glance
- Entrepreneurship is crucial to promoting a healthy and competitive business environment as well as strong democratic governance.
- In India, successful entrepreneurs that defy the entrenched caste system and gender biases serve as important role models for aspiring youth.
- Private businesses provide a way for citizens to lower prices, increase competition, and strengthen market institutions.
How do Institutions Facilitate Entrepreneurship?
Article at a glance
- Creating wealth through entrepreneurship requires combining different resources (for example, the parts of a pencil or those of a watch). Institutions are crucial to facilitating that combination.
- To do all the things that entrepreneurs in developed countries take for granted – like dividing labor, using property as collateral, protecting personal assets, expanding markets, or creating economies of scale – entrepreneurs in developing nations need the standards that only legal institutions can provide.
- The wealthy in developing nations have convinced the poor that no matter how talented or enterprising they are, they will never succeed. In fact, the world's most successful entrepreneurs just have access to superior legal institutions.
Why Institutions are Essential to Entrepreneurship
Article at a glance
- The gradual emergence of economic institutions encouraged impersonal, long-distance trade to flourish.
- Entrepreneurship will flourish only in economies where institutions reduce transaction costs, protect property and individuals from private theft and state confiscation, and encourage innovation and risk taking.
- Without strong institutions, markets and entrepreneurship will not flourish and long-run growth will suffer.

Welcome to NuWire Investor | About Us | Login
My husband and I are looking for someone with a dream of owning a piece of New Zealand to share our dream. Kevin is a native "Kiwi" and I was born & raised in Oregon. We met in 1993, married in 1997, and moved to New Zealand in 1997 to start a flyfishing guiding business ( www.nzflyfishingguide.com). We have operated this successfully and Kevin guides full time during the fishing season. We are looking to diversify and wondering if there is anyone out there who would like to join with us in purchasing a bit of New Zealand. Neither of us want to live in a town environment and we are looking for a rural opportunity.
We are basically open to all kinds of options. Kevin and I both have farming backgrounds and we would love to join with someone and find a property with fishing, hunting and farming options. There is also the opportunity to raise trees and sell carbon credits as an alternative 'crop'. However, we would also be open to discussing any other options.
The Central South Island is a great place...close to the ocean, the lakes, and the mountains. We have many boating options (freshwater and ocean). There are a number of ski fields nearby. Outdoor recreation opportunities are endless. We live near Fairlie which is approximately 2 hours from Christchurch, the South Island's largest city (~350,000) and also an international airport. We are about 3 hours from Dunedin and 4 from Queenstown. The temperatures are similar to those on the 45th parallel in the northern hemishere. ( www.southisland.org.nz or www.mtcooknz.com )
We look forward to hearing from anyone who may be interested in real estate investment in New Zealand.
Thank you,
Thank you for your interest in this opportunity listing. Please complete the form below and your
information will be sent to the individual who submitted this listing.

One specialty spread Howell sometimes uses is four dozen coots and a smattering of wigeon and mallard decoys set close to the coots. "This spread is especially effective in the late season, when ducks are getting decoy shy. This is a very natural look. Wigeon like to hang around coots and steal their food."
Another of Howell's late-season strategies is to slim down his spread. "Last year between migration days, ducks got really spooky, and we wound up hunting over nine decoys and calling very little. We set them (mallards) together in pairs, because they had already pair-bonded. We put two drakes with one hen, since live ducks group like this when they're competing for a mate.
"But when a cold front would bring new birds, we'd beef back up to five to six dozen decoys. When ducks are in a working mood, more decoys are better than fewer decoys."
Howell has some very specific opinions about using motion in his spread. "I believe ducks are learning to avoid motion-wing decoys, and I've gotten away from them. Now, I still want decoy movement and water disturbance, but I get that with Quiver Magnets (ripple makers) and swimming decoys. And I'm a big advocate of the old-fashioned jerk string. Frequently, I'll rig two or three lines with up to three decoys each, and I'll yank on these to add some 'life' to my spread."
Another thing Howell is meticulous about is keeping his decoys clean. "You don't see any dirty ducks in nature, and you won't see any dirty decoys in my spread," he insists. He washes his decoys with a hose and sponge as need dictates.
But more than anything else, Howell believes decoy placement is the critical element in getting ducks to finish. "You've got to have the natural look and movement, but beyond these things, you've got to set your spread so it's comforting and inviting to incoming birds, and this may take a lot of experimenting. Every location and every day are different in terms of what the ducks want. This is why, if they're not committing, I'll change something. Experience has taught me not to sit there and watch them flare. A lot of times moving my decoys one more time has meant the difference in making the birds comfortable enough to come on in."

We all know that living with roommates can be difficult and challenging at times, especially if you're living in the same, tiny room. Being able to get along and create a fun living environment can relieve so much stress from school and make your college experience much better. Hopefully these tips can help you out when dealing with the roomies.
- Don't live with your best friends. You may think that this is a great idea at first, 'cuz "We're friends, how can we fight", well, you will. You already have a relationship with that person. Why not try meeting new people and exploring different relationships? Plus, being around the same person 24/7 will bring new annoyances you never thought you had with your BFF.
- Try putting yourself in the other person's shoes.
- Respect your roommates' space. Don't touch their things, and please, if your roommates are away it is not smart to lend their bed to your friends who want to pass out after a hard night of drinking. Would you really want someone stanky and gross in your bed? I really don't think so.
- Spend time together – If you rarely see your roommates and actually want to spend time with them, try having dinners together where you can catch up on the things.
- Do activities outside of your place. Encourage them to get involved with activities so they get out of the house. Space is crucial when you live with roommates. Encourage not only them but yourself to explore different campus activities so everyone can have some alone time in the living room.
- Communicate! Trust me if something bothers you, tell them, because there is nothing like one huge emotional blow up where you tell them all their faults at once. Space it out – if not your roommate will feel attacked.
- If you're throwing a party – make sure you consult with all roommates, and make sure you include them. Even though you might not want to party with them it will make them less irritated and make the house atmosphere a lot better to live in. And hey, there is nothing like taking funny pictures of them so you can laugh at them when you move out.
- Be organized – create some sort of ground rules for bills and groceries or house cleaning. It'll avoid confusion and keep people in the know.
- If all else fails, try the best to co-exist. Don't play pranks and move all your roommates' clothes around, or mess with their valuables. It's just not smart because it will cause more problems for all of you. Just focus on your when your lease is up and finding new roommates.
- Save Money – Money can be tight, instead of borrowing from your roommate, you can rent textbooks from us. It can save you a bundle (wink, wink).

Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Stockton will receive $509,350 in federal funding through the Veterans' Affairs Department to assist veterans' families, Rep. Jerry McNerney, D-Stockton, announced.
Funds will help veterans' families find social services they need and will help provide assistance, housing utility costs and other needs.
"Since coming to Congress in 2006, it has been one of my greatest priorities to make sure the federal government is doing its part to provide for our nation's veterans," McNerney said. "At a time when we have more and more of our brave men and women returning from conflicts overseas, these resources will go a long way in helping the veterans in our community."
Studies have shown homelessness to be higher among veterans than the general population. Catholic Charities works with veterans and other people in poverty to improve their lives.

The 'shameless perverts' who have been straining at the leash to turn an Antrim beauty spot into the number one destination for 'doggers' may soon get their collars felt, it has been claimed.
The promise of cheap thrills in the Antrim hills has long been an irresistible lure to 'swingers', but last week an increasingly frustrated Antrim Borough Council has made a passionate plea for the sexual shenanigans to cease.
With reports of 'unspeakable acts' continuing to rise, Civic leaders have called on the PSNI and Forestry Service to stop the adults only antics under the leafy boughs of Tardree.

The Catholic primate Cardinal Seán Brady has been discharged from hospital in Craigavon, Co Armagh. He was admitted last Thursday night after being taken ill at a Confirmation ceremony. It is understood the cardinal felt weak during the ceremony in Kildress parish church in Co Tyrone, in the archdiocese of Armagh, and was helped to the sacristy area. However, he remained conscious throughout. An ambulance was called and he was taken to Craigavon Area Hospital in Portadown.

Carlow's host with the most, Brendan Hennessy, has become the subject of a Facebook campaign to become the new presenter of the Rose of Tralee.
With Kildare man Ray D'Arcy hanging up his boots this year, Brendan's supporters have created a Facebook page entitled "Now that Ray D'Arcy has retired, let's get Brendan Hennessy to be the next host of the Rose of Tralee International Festival". Brendan, who has a long career in the role of presenter, MC and sports commentator, is adamant that he has nothing to do with the setting up of the page – but he does admit that he would love a crack at the job.

The Burren last week moved a step closer to becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site when it was named on Ireland's new Tentative List being submitted to the organization for consideration later this year.
If the Burren made it onto the prestigious list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, it would join places such as the Old City of Dubrovnik in Croatia, Kronborg Castle in Denmark and the Cathedral of Notre Dame, Former Abbey of Saint Remi and Place of Tau in Reims.
Making it onto the UNESCO list would also increase tourism in the county, according to the body responsible for the promotion of the region.

Thirteen years after hosting its most famous honeymoon couple, a Donegal hotel is still reaping the benefits. Back in 1997, celebrity couple Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick spent their first days as newlyweds at Letterkenny's Mount Errigal Hotel after choosing to holiday in Ireland. In one of the latest editions of Hello magazine, their stay is recalled in a special Celebrity Honeymoons feature - and the biggest winner could well be the Mount Errigal. The article has just gone up on the Hello magazine website and with a link from the article to the Mount Errigal's webpage, the hits to the hotel website have literally gone through the roof.

The Department of Education has refused to release any information on the schools forced to put urgent action plans in place after being rated unsatisfactory by inspectors. The department can formally intervene to ensure action is taken when school inspectors find that the quality of education in an institution is less than satisfactory. It is understood that around 12 schools have been put into the formal intervention process following poor reports by the Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI).

A new film, which stars Dublin's 'Pyjama Girls' has sold out its first three screenings in Dublin -- and will be brought to a city cinema this summer due to the massive demand. Documentary makers who followed a group of teenage girls from the Basin Street flats near St James' Hospital say their film is a "surprise success story" given the negative reaction, which has surrounded the teenagers who are rarely seen out of their nightwear. Director Maya Derrington said: "It's completely unexpected that there's been such a rush for tickets. Obviously we're really honored to be chosen as the opening film, and to be chosen to be in the film festival." She added: "The negative response is also a sign that people are fascinated. People can't understand what the whole thing is about. It's such an Irish specific thing, and a Dublin specific thing as well." The documentary about the inner-city pajama -wearers will reach Dublin cinema screens this summer before it goes to cinemas abroad.

Let's start with a basic question: what is a supercar and how is it different from a luxury car?
There is no standard definition as it varies from country to country. Some may classify only two-door sports cars with high performance or a minimum engine capacity as a supercar while others may use price or limited production along with price as a classification.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) and Senator Tom Harkin
(D-IA) today reintroduced the Healthy Families Act, legislation that
would allow workers to earn paid sick leave to use when they are sick, to care
for a sick family member, to obtain preventive care, or to address the impacts
of domestic violence.
"Everyone should be able to take care of themselves and their families when they are sick without having to worry about losing their jobs," said DeLauro, senior Democrat on the subcommittee responsible for funding the departments of Labor and Health and Human Services. "But in today's America too many of our workers are unable to do this and the economy suffers because of it. Showing up to work when you are sick costs employers a staggering $160 billion a year in lost productivity and further spreads sickness to others. Ending the current system will ensure people no longer have to choose between their health—or their families—and their paycheck."
"A full forty percent of private-sector American workers have no access to
paid sick days— meaning that they cannot miss a day of work without risking a
day's pay or even their job security. When illness or emergencies strike,
millions of hardworking people must make an impossible choice between the job
they need and their health and well-being—or that of their families," said Harkin,
the Chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP)
Committee. "Under the Healthy Families Act, workers would have the
security of knowing that they will be able to tend to their families and
themselves without losing their jobs or their income.
"Paid sick days are also a matter of public health," Harkin continued. "Seventy percent of low-wage workers—including food service, hospitality, nursing home care and child care employees—have no paid sick days. The Healthy Families Act can help stop the spread of illness, especially by those workers who have frequent contact with members of the public."
The DeLauro-Harkin bill would allow workers to earn up to 56 hours or seven days of paid sick leave. Workers would earn one hour of paid sick time for every 30 hours worked. Employers that already provide paid sick time will not have to change their current policies, as long as their existing time can be used for the same purposes. Employers can also require workers to provide documentation supporting any request for leave longer than three consecutive days.
DeLauro is a longtime advocate for policies that benefit working Americans, and has introduced the Healthy Families Act in every Congress since 2004. Her home state of Connecticut was the first in the nation to ensure service workers have access to paid sick leave.
As HELP Committee Chairman, Harkin championed the prevention and wellness
measures that are included in the Affordable Care Act. Earlier this
year, Harkin introduced the Help America Act, which includes critical
public health and prevention initiatives to fight chronic disease, encourage
healthier schools, communities and workplaces, and improve physical activity
opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
Fast Facts on Paid Sick Days
- Forty percent of private-sector workers, including seventy percent of low-wage workers, have no paid sick days. Nearly two-thirds of restaurant workers have reported cooking or serving food while sick.
- A recent study from the University of Arizona showed
that within four hours of a sick employee coming to work with a flu-like
virus, more than 50 percent of office surfaces were contaminated with the
- Illness costs our national economy $226 billion
annually in lost productivity. The vast majority of this cost—71
percent—is due to "presenteeism," the practice of sick workers coming to
work and infecting their colleagues rather than staying at home.
- Simply by reducing unnecessary emergency room visits,
universal paid sick days would save the economy $1 billion in health care
costs per year, according to the Institute for Women's Policy Research.
- In a 2008 University of Chicago survey, one in six
workers reported that they or a family member have been fired, suspended,
punished, or threatened with being fired—just for taking time off due to
personal or family illness.

I picked up a new Dolce Sport for my lady friend and I wanted some info on the Axis Classic wheelset it came with. Front/rear weights, hub used, rider weight info, ect.
The Axis wheels are what are considered OEM or original equipment manufactured wheels. As they are not something that Specialized produces itself or sells as aftermarket wheels we do not have weights for them. Owners of the wheels would have to personally weigh them to get the weight. We purchase the complete wheels from the manufacturer for use only as OEM equipment on bikes. Wheels such as these will generally hold up for riders 240 lbs or under. Once reaching weights close to 240 some riders may experience spoke fatigue that may require them to replace spokes regularly.
Hope that information is helpful. Sorry that full details are not available on all OEM equipment.
Thanks for using our products and have a great day!

Talk:Symphony in C major (Asplmayr, Franz)
Page turns for the strings are quite alright in this piece, rather easy, in fact. I should have them all done tomorrow. For some reason, when I worked on this piece last year, I did not do a figured bass realization. I'll have to do that this year. But I still haven't figured out how to do figured bass in Finale. Alonso del Arte 23:05, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
Now that I do a figured bass realization, it appears that I may have made a whole bunch of mistakes, or at least omissions. I will have to review it carefully. Alonso del Arte 23:03, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
If I had done a figured bass realization from the start, I would have caught a lot of these mistakes. I have to do corrections to the score, the second oboe part, cello, bass, perhaps others. Alonso del Arte 21:58, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Should we upload all three movements in one file, or each movement separately? --Philip Addison Jones mail me © talk 18:49, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
- Whichever way is more convenient for you. If the gaps between movements are just right for you and you record the whole thing in one shot, then it makes sense to upload the three movements in one file. But if you record them separately it makes sense to upload them separately because I will most likely change the gaps between movements once I put the whole thing together (and certainly the Maestoso introduction and the Allegro vivace will be closer together).

Hessonite picked up her third consecutive stakes victory with a 5 ¼-length romp in the $150,000 John Hettinger, while Lubash made it two straight by outdueling favored Compliance Officer in the $150,000 Ashley T. Cole, both for New York-breds, on Sunday afternoon at Belmont Park.
Confidently ridden by Ramon Dominguez from the rail, the 4-year-old Hessonite lingered near the back as Inimitable Romanee led the field of five state-bred fillies through early fractions of 24.54 and 50.11 seconds over the yielding turf course. Accelerating along the inside on the far turn, the Freud filly swung out and grabbed the lead at the top of the stretch, crossing the wire in 1:52.12 for the 1 1/8 miles under a hand ride.
"Ramon has so much confidence in her," said David Donk, who trains Hessonite for William Punk, Jr. and Philip DiLeo. "Like he said, with a different horse, the post may have been an issue; with her, no. The way she runs, wherever there's a seam, she's there; wherever he wants her, she's there. Very professional. I'm just very fortunate my name is on the program."
Winner of the Irish Linnet and Yaddo stakes this summer at Saratoga Race Course, Hessonite is now 3-2-0 from six starts in 2012. Two of those losses came to rival Gitchee Goomie, who was never a factor Sunday in finishing fourth.
The 3-5 favorite, Hessonite returned $3.20 for a $2 win bet and earned $90,000, increasing her bankroll to $590,310.
"She's a nice one," said Dominguez, who has been aboard for seven of Hessonite's eight career victories. "She does everything that you ask her, and she doesn't mind the soft going here, which doesn't hurt either."
Hessonite's stablemate, 19-1 shot Freedom Rings, also trained by Donk, closed from last to finish second, with Inimitable Romanee, Gitchee Goomie, and Dreaming of Cara completing the order of finish. Go Unbridled, Lady On the Run, and Lady's Lunar Luck were scratched.

Aug. 5 — To the Editor:
My neighbors and I have been joking that we are the unnamed and forgotten piece of Portsmouth — or the "unmentionables" as one person said. There is no name for the area between South Street and Sagamore Creek although several thousand people live here. Our only ways out are Sagamore Avenue and South Street, now blocked with major construction of a new road. The other way is blocked by the missing bridge over the creek.
It would have been thoughtful to postpone closing Sagamore from South to Little Harbor until the bridge is restored so we could get out of here in some direction. But alas, we have no clout with anyone, being the nameless part of Portsmouth.
We all look forward to winter when the bridge opens. Until then, if anyone has a name for our neighborhood, we will all be glad to hear it!

Del Mar, the scenic seaside oval "where the turf meets the surf," first opened Its gates In 1937. The man at the turnstile collecting tickets that sunny July 3 afternoon was none other than the fellow known as "Der Bingle" or ''The Crooner," the original laid-back Californian himself, Bing Crosby.Bing and a bunch of his Hollywood buddies hatched this marvelous idea for a horse palace by the ocean where you could play all day, party all night and leave the cares of the world behind.That first day 15,000-plus came for a look and, when word got around, there were more than 18,000 on hand for the second afternoon. The little horse course hard by the blue Pacific had made its mark and 75 years later continues to draw equine fanciers from near and far to its seven-week swirl of high-class hoofbeats by the sea.Out on the track itself, Del Mar has had its share of magic moments. Drawing on its Hollywood connection, the sun-splashed plant was the first to make use of the photo-finish camera at its inaugural meet in 1937. The camera, an invention of Lorenzo del Riccio, an optical engineer who headed Paramount Pictures' technical research laboratories, was designed to produce a strip photograph of the passage of time at a fixed point, in this case the finish line. In 1938, Del Mar hosted the historic match race between the American handicap champion Seabiscuit and the South American import Ligaroti. It was for $25,000 winner¬-take-all, drew 20,000 to the track and was heard coast-to-coast on the NBC radio network.At the end of a ferocious battle that saw the horses trading head bobs and the riders trading whip slashes, 'The Biscuit" won by a nose in 1 :49, breaking the nine-furlong track record by four seconds.Del Mar was also the place where John Longden became the world's winningest rider on Labor Day of 1956 when he rode his 4,871 $I winner to surpass the Englishman Sir Gordon Richards. Fourteen Labor Days later in 1970, Longden's title of "winningest rider of all" fell to a tiny Texan named Bill Shoemaker when he booted home Dares J for his 6,033rd victory. There to shake The Shoe's hand in the Del Mar winner's circle was Longden himself.In recent times the track has been a fertile proving ground for many of the nation's best horses and horsemen. Its 2-year-old program has shone the first spotlight on many of the sport's stars-to-be and its 3-year-old grass stakes series is among the most popular and competitive high-profile events in the country. In 1991, the track inaugurated its richest and most prestigious offering, the $1 million Pacific Classic. The Grade I feature quickly became one of the nation's top summer prizes while being offered at the classic American distance of a mile and one quarter.In 2012, Del Mar continued its run as one of the nation's top tracks in the key categories of daily average attendance and handle. Its on-track count of 17,623 put it in the forefront of North American meets, and its daily handle of $12,393,240 placed the shore oval among the cream of the country's racing crop.During the 2012 season, when the track again raced five days per week, horsemen received $25,437,439 in purses, fees, and awards during the 37-day stand for a record daily average of $687,498. The totals included 33 major stakes worth nearly $7 million.

A family said they had to jump out of a window to escape a house fire.
The fire spread through a house at the intersection of North West and Manship streets in Jackson about 4 a.m.
The homeowner said her son had to be taken to a hospital because of a severe gash on his arm.
The family was in tears as they spoke about the blaze.
"We was in the bed asleep, and I just heard somebody calling me, saying, 'The house is on fire,' and that's all I know," homeowner Johnnie Johnson said. "I'm going to be OK. I just don't know where we're going to go from here with all my children. This is a seven-bedroom house. I don't know where we're going to go."
The cause of the fire is not yet known.

This is the time of year that I make soup. Lots of soup. I call it my therapy�soup therapy. For me it works for a variety of disturbances. �(Added bonus�a good use for leftovers). �The real joy of making soup is the sense satisfaction it brings. Once the ingredients are in the pot, let it simmer and coast. Of course there is the therapeutic effect of prepping the ingredients. The very act of peeling, chopping, and mincing all play their part. Once done, what a sense of accomplishment.
Soup is just fun for me. It has a way of tickling all of my senses from touch to sight to smell, and of course TASTE! Not to mention the satisfaction of creating a pot of warm, tingling, aromatic nourishment for your body. Just watching the soup simmer and gurgle away brings a smile to my face. Soup is also a great way to use your aromatics...sprinkle an herb here, a spice there. �It is just like having a culinary license to experiment. �Don�t forget to sample along the way. One of the bonuses of being the cook!
So if you are like me, overwhelmed�feeling as if you are getting nothing done�take a few minutes for some soup therapy right now in your own kitchen. This is the perfect time of year. Crisp and cold outside� warm and cozy inside. Making too much is not a bad thing. I don�t mind sharing or even grazing off my concoction through the week.
I have passed on this traditional home therapy to my daughter. After her first successful session, she agrees. The main investment is a few basic ingredients and a smidgen of time. Return on investment�delicious. �Eating it...the best therapy!
The following recipe was her first session. A hearty soup, made with spicy sausage, canned white beans, and chopped kale, along with tomatoes and other vegetables. Making my own pot today! � It is called "White Bean, Kale, and Sausage Soup."
What a delicious way to use Kale, the new spinach.� Kale is a great source of the antioxidant vitamins A, C and K plus it is a good source of copper, potassium, iron, and phosphorus.� It even has calcium and one cup has only 33 calories!��� Read more about Kale at this� link while you make this soup!
White Bean, Kale and Sausage Soup
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 links Chorizo or Andouille, sliced � -inch thick.� I even like a spicy breakfast sausage
1 onion, diced
3 small potatoes, I like red skins, diced (with the skin left on)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch (about 1 lb) kale, chopped, ~ 8 cups
6 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons fresh thyme or (1 tablespoon dried)
1 tablespoon fresh oregano or� teaspoon dried)
1 bay leaf
1 wedge of Parmesan or Pecorino cheese rind (optional, but so good!)
1 can white beans, cannellini, or Great Northern,
1 can diced tomatoes
Salt and pepper to taste
In a large soup pot over medium-high heat and add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the sausage and saut� until the sausage is golden brown on all sides. Remove the sausage and drain on a paper towel.
Next, reduce heat to medium and add the onion. Saut� until the onion is translucent and then add the potatoes, about five minutes. Saut� about five minutes. Add the garlic and saut� until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add � �cup of chicken broth and the kale to the pot. Stir to coat everything with chicken broth and then cover the pot with a lid. Stir the kale every three minutes until it is barely tender, adding more broth as needed if the pot becomes dry.� This take a good 10-15 minutes but is so important.� It blends the flavors and simmers the potatoes.
Add the rest of the broth, thyme, oregano, bay leaf, and Parmesan rind, and �� tsp salt.� If the veggies aren't quite covered, add extra broth or water. Bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until the kale is completely tender and the potatoes are cooked through. Add the sausage and white beans. Remove bay leaf and cheese rind. Taste for seasonings and salt.
Don't forget to add a good grating of fresh Parmesan to every bowl and to serve with a crusty slice of bread to sop up the �goody� at the bottom of the bowl.
In Good Health,�� Barbara Burns

I once read a historian of the modern era describe communism as the tragedy of ideas working free from the reasonable restraint of fact. As I read descriptions of the Tea Party, its ideas and philosophy, I am struck by the notion that one might describe the Tea Party in just the same way as communism.
I think that one could assume that if they were able to succeed in securing the necessary political power, they would proceed to dismantle many of the federal programs that American citizens have come to rely upon. This would probably include for example Social Security and Medicare.
Most Americans are no longer part of somewhat self-sufficient rural communities, which provided safety and a degree of security in the face of the inevitable crisis we all must face at some point in our lives. In fact, few Americans live in the same community for their whole lives. Most who work are wage-dependent, not independent farmers or artisans.
Our society has changed dramatically over the past 150 years. As a result, governmental institutions have a larger role in our lives. While one may argue about the efficiency of some of these programs, denying their need is the tragedy of ideas working free from the reasonable restraint of facts.

Rising personal wealth means more people are able to buy computers or
pay to go online. The vast majority are young people using the net to
chat or play games.
But behind the boom, there is a downside.
Wang Yiming, 21, is a self-confessed internet addict, one of a growing
number in China. He used to spend hours online each day, often going
without food or sleep. His face is drawn and sallow.
He said addiction changed his whole life:
"A month or two after I started surfing the internet, I failed some of
my school tests, but I was too afraid to tell my parents. When my
father found out, he was very angry.
"But I couldn't control my addiction. Friends were also telling me that
I was on the net too long, but I thought: 'It's my life, I can do what
I want.' I became a real loner, was withdrawn, and wouldn't listen to
anyone". http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4327258.stm
For help, Wang Yiming went to China's first internet clinic, a
low-rise, anonymous building in central Beijing.
All 15 patients when I visited were young men - the main social group
affected by this problem - and they all told a similar story of how
their addiction to the net destroyed their lives.
The clinic itself is part of a bigger addiction centre also treating
those hooked on alcohol or drugs. The internet addicts go on a two-week
course involving medical treatment, psychological therapy, and daily
The latter are a key part of the programme. Many of the men have spent
every waking moment in front of a computer screen and have never
experienced regular exercise.
Dr Tao Ran, head of the clinic, said the scale of the problem in China
was enormous:
"Every day in China, more than 20 million youngsters go online to play
games and hit the chat rooms, and that means that internet addiction
among young people is becoming a major issue here.
"And it's only recently that the authorities have started to wake up to
the seriousness of the problem with more articles in the papers
highlighting the dangers of going online for too long," he said.
Rising demand
The clinic is getting an extra 200 beds next year to meet demand and
new centres are due to open in other major cities like Shanghai and
But the programme only lasts two weeks, followed by minimal after-care.
Many have their doubts about the long term, like one patient's mother.
"The work of the doctors here at the centre has been very important,
but of course I'm still worried," she said.
"I admire the doctors for what they have done so far and all we can do
is follow their advice and knowledge to help our son," she said.
All the men know this centre is just the beginning. Now they must
return to the outside world and the real test for these computer
And with millions of Chinese logging on every day, it is likely that
the country's first internet clinic is going to have its hands full.

ICF worked with Snohomish County to support ongoing watershed planning in the Stillaguamish River (WRIA 5) watershed.
ICF provided planning and outreach consulting services to the county's Surface Water Management Division to support the development of the Stillaguamish Watershed Chinook Salmon Recovery Plan. A Stillaguamish Watershed Chinook Salmon Recovery Plan included short- and long-term recovery objectives and actions to protect and restore salmon habitat in the Stillaguamish River watershed.
This plan was one of fourteen local watershed plans prepared for submittal to the Shared Strategy for Puget Sound. The Shared Strategy compiled this information for a Puget Sound-wide salmon recovery plan, as required by the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA). The plan included recommendations for habitat project actions in the following six categories, which were related to the limiting factors for Chinook salmon habitat: riparian vegetation, estuaries, large woody debris, floodplains, sediment, and hydrology. The plan also included recommendations for policy and regulatory issues, funding, research and data gaps, monitoring and adaptive management, and public education.

Preparing for an Emergency
Every household should have an emergency plan and emergency kit.
To develop an emergency plan:
- Make sure you have adequate house and contents insurance, and know which hazards are covered
- Find out how and where to turn off power, gas and water supplies
- Store important documents, e.g. wills, photos, birth certificates
- Agree on essential tasks with the members of the household, e.g. collecting children from school, checking on elderly neighbours
- Arrange for an out-of-town friend or relative to be a single point of contact in case people are separated before or during a widespread emergency.
Your emergency kit should contain:
- Portable, battery-operated radio (to hear news reports)
- Torch and spare batteries
- Fresh water in sealed containers (at least 10 litres per person for three days)
- Canned food (with can opener and utensils) for three days
- Any special need items for elderly or infant family members
- First aid kit (with manual)
- Combination pocket knife
- Medications, toiletry supplies
- Insurance documents, etc.
- List of emergency numbers, including insurance details (pet owners should have the number of their vet)
- Pet food and other animal needs
- Portable stove with fuel
- Money, including change for phone calls
- Tent or tarpaulin
- Woollen and thermal blankets
- Strong plastic bags (for clothing, valuables, documents and photographs)
In the event of a disaster or major emergency:
- Listen for the Standard Emergency Warning System (SEWS). This is a wailing siren that may be broadcast on radio or television anywhere in Australia to draw attention to the fact that an urgent message is about to be made. You should stop and listen, then act immediately on the official advice given. Keep listening for further messages.
- Don't move injured people unless they are in immediate danger.
- Once you have checked your own family and property, don't go sightseeing.
- Do not make unnecessary phone calls (to prevent network jam).
For information on matters such as public health, welfare or building safety contact Council.
Visit the Australian Red Cross website for further information and resources relating to disaster or emergency preparation, reponse and recovery.

Election Ads: Laundry, Baseball, Dominos
With upper house elections less than a week away, parties are ramping up spending on ever-more unusual television ads.
The latest spot by the ruling Democratic Party of Japan shows Prime Minister Naoto Kan in the unstatesmanlike pose, sleeves rolled up, of handwashing a large white bedsheet. It's supposed to show him trying to "wash Japan" and "rub and clear away the filth of vested interests," according to the DPJ website. (Gee, no mention of the consumption tax). No video link yet available, but pictures of the ad are here.
The DPJ has always tried to be creative with its TV commercials. At the end of 2006, the DPJ showed Mr. Kan, along with two other party leaders of the time — Yukio Hatoyama and Ichiro Ozawa — navigating a ship through a storm. Mr. Ozawa falls from the steering wheel, but Messrs. Kan and Hatoyama support him on both sides, and help him stand up – a salvation they may now regret. (We can only imagine how they'd film that one now).
The once-ruling, now-ridiculed Liberal Democratic Party still can't seem to catch a break, even with ad placements. The party is having trouble getting airtime for its new commercial. To show that the LDP has a younger group of candidates than the DPJ, the party attempted to show a commercial with both Sadakazu Tanigaki, LDP leader, and Shinjiro Koizumi, the popular son of the popular former prime minister, who happens to be the youngest party member. However, the five major TV networks refused to play the commercial, saying it breaks a joint agreement between the broadcasters that political commercials can only show a party's first or second-ranking leaders. The Tanigaki-Koizumi commercial has been shown on some local TV stations.
The colorful Shizuka Kamei, head of the tiny but influential People's New Party, appears in commercials with him throwing a baseball, which is somehow meant to symbolize "policies that don't blur," according to Yuji Katagiri, a party spokesman. The party decided to make the baseball-themed program after Takenori Emoto, former TV baseball commentator, joined the party.
Not all parties can spend money on showing costly commercials. The Japanese Communist Party decided not to play TV commercials after considering "costs and benefits." Instead, they have online web commercials, and say that their campaign fliers are "better refined than that of any other party." One web spot features to a bird trying to convince another bird to stand up against the U.S. and large companies. The JCP spokesman insisted the birds have nothing to do with former Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama, whose name in Japanese means "mountain of pigeons."
The hottest new opposition party, Your Party, also does not show TV commercials. But it has an online segment of Yoshimi Watanabe trying to push down a large domino piece. He succeeds only after cheers from young girls and the cooperation of a group of people. The dominos represent issues that the party hopes to overcome, such as bureaucracy and deflation.

NEW MADRID -- Milus and Wanda Wallace are starting over.
In 2011 when the U.S Army Corps of Engineers decided the only way to slow the rising waters of the Mississippi River was to breach Southeast Missouri's levees, the Wallaces saw everything they had worked for over the past 40-plus years go under water -- literally. Their farm land and their home were swept up in the muddy waters of the Mississippi.
Today, some might see a bleak picture. All that remains of the couple's home is the brick fireplace. Down the road are grain bins crumpled by the force of the roiling waters and farm sheds repaired with battered tin. An adjacent farm field stands empty.
Yet as the Wallaces stand, arms around each other, looking out over that same scene, they see their future.

Finally here is an audio episode of Most People Are DJs. It's been one hectic and crazy summer, so while I've been attending shows, filming DJs and bands, taking photos etc. there have been things I haven't been able to do like record an audio MPAD episode. During the recording of this episode I realized through my videos and pictures I have give you a glimpse of the experiences what's been missing is what I thought about the show or event. This episode I try to rectify all that with a rundown on how I spent my summer and some great music I've recently received. I talk with Nicole Boudreau of the Royalty, a great indie rock/pop band from El Paso, Texas and I tell you about Creator-Owned Heroes, a fantastic comic from Image Publishing by Jimmy Palmiotti and Steve Niles.
If you have checked out my photos be sure to visit my MPAD flickr page. There are tons of photos of bands, DJs, cosplayers, lots of wonderful people shots.

Religious Right Leaders Warn that Contraception Coverage Policy has 'Many Parallels' with Nazi Germany
SUBMITTED BY: Brian Tashman, Tuesday 02/28/2012, 11:30am
Sunday on Breakpoint, Chuck Colson hosted fellow Manhattan Declaration co-founders Timothy George and Robert George to discuss the mandate for contraception coverage and the need for "disobedience" to resist the policy. During the interview, Timothy George repeated his claim that the Obama administration is turning the United States into Nazi Germany, comparing the Manhattan Declaration to the Barmen Declaration of German Christians who opposed the Nazi Party and telling Colson that "there are many parallels" today with Nazi Germany. Later in the interview, Colson... MORE >

Ever since the Religious Right drafted and released The Manhattan Declaration in 2009, the authors and supporters of the document has made no bones about the fact that they believe themselves to be courageous heroes in the mold of those who resisted the Nazis in Germany. And just in case the analogy had not yet been made crystal clear, co-author Timothy George has an essay in the Spring edition of Beeson magazine [PDF] in which he explicitly links the Manhattan Declaration to the Barmen Declaration, the 1934 statement by the Confessing Church standing in opposition to the Nazi take over of...

The other day we noted how the Religious Right was beginning to grow alarmed at the possibility that Republicans were going to focus solely on economic issues as they set out their electoral strategy and governing agenda, ignoring things like abortion and marriage because, as Haley Barbour says, talking about social issues just means the GOP is "using up valuable time and resources that can be used to talk to people about what they care about." Well, the fear appears to be quite real, prompting the architects of the Manhattan Declaration to send out an email warning that "... MORE >

Liberty Counsel is not happy with Judge Walker's decision not to permanently stay his Prop 8 ruling. Neither is FRC or Tony Perkins.

I guess we'll be hearing a lot from "Susan" in the coming months as Focus on the Family highlights how its Super Bowl ad convinced her not to have an abortion.

Last week, when Newt Gingrich came out in opposition to the "Ground Zero Mosque," I noted that his position seemed rather hypocritical considering that he had recently founded an organization called Renewing American Leadership that has, as its mission, the protection and encouragement of the free exercise of religion in America. But the hypocrisy at the root of that piece pales in comparison to the hypocrisy at the root of his latest piece: Radical Islamism is more than simply a religious belief. It is a comprehensive political, economic, and religious movement that seeks to... MORE >

If you thought the Manhattan Declaration was mainly an opportunity for the Religious Right to declare themselves heroes of the Christian faith ... well, you were correct. But that doesn't mean that organizers were not entirely serious about their pledge to be ready to give their lives to fight Obama's looming Nazi-like dictatorship. That is a point that Manhattan Declaration founders Chuck Colson and Timothy George make in his new video, as George compares those who sign this document to both Martin Luther and Martin Luther King while Colson begs people to "understand the severity...

For weeks now I have been writing regular posts on the increasing intersection between the "mainstream" Religious Right and Dominionist prophetic intercessors like Lou Engle, Cindy Jacobs, Rick Joyner and others. But I have always been careful to note that just because the more "mainstream" leaders have been joining forces with these self-proclaims prophets and apostles, it didn't mean that they necessarily shared their Dominionist agenda. But I think it is fair to say that I no longer need to be so careful, as the leaders of the Religious Right... MORE >

Housing company evicts noisy neighbour
Published by Melanie Armstrong for Homes For Northumberland in Housing and also in Local Government
A nuisance neighbour on a Blyth street has been taken to task over her antisocial behaviour.
Homes for Northumberland, working alongside Northumbria Police and Northumberland County Council's Legal Services Team, evicted Wendy Brown (46) of Ravensdale Grove after receiving a number of complaints from local people about noise nuisance and repeated antisocial behaviour.
The housing company sought possession proceedings after gathering CCTV evidence and noise recordings. Brown also had a history of rent arrears which Homes for Northumberland attempted to resolve on several occasions.
Additionally, in 2011 Brown was given a suspended prison sentence after obtaining nearly £24,000 by submitting false claims for Income Support, Housing and Council Tax Benefit and failing to notify the authorities of a change in her circumstances.
Colin Blackett, safer neighbourhoods unit manager at Homes for Northumberland, said: "Homes for Northumberland works closely with partners and we are all committed to stamping out this sort of antisocial and nuisance behaviour. All agencies have done a sterling job in tackling this problem.
"It is totally unacceptable that one resident believes that they can act in this way, to the detriment of their neighbours and other members of their community. I'd like to thank all of the people in the local area who came forward to report Brown's behaviour.
"I can reassure anyone who would like to report antisocial behaviour that all of the information you provide is kept confidential and really helps us to take action against these individuals - we must all work together to make a difference and stamp out this type of unacceptable behaviour."
Blyth Neighbourhood Inspector Dave Harris said: "This partnership action demonstrates how seriously we take antisocial behaviour and how committed we are to tackling it in Blyth. We will continue to work with Homes for Northumberland and the local authority to ensure that our streets and neighbourhoods remain safe and pleasant places to live."
To make a complaint about anti-social behaviour contact Homes for Northumberland's Safer Neighbourhoods Unit for advice and confidential help on 01670 542424 or e-mail email@example.com
