This week's writer is Christopher L. Mason, school resource officer for Middlebury.
War on Drugs?
Ever since our two goats, Lucy and Jasper, decided that life inside a fence was just not for them, our yard has served as their all-you-can-eat buffet.
I've tried to pretend it's no big deal. Every spring I tell myself maybe this year the goats will leave my flowerbeds alone. And every spring they eat everything — except the weeds, of course; goats have standards.
It's Middlebury, Vt., vs. Bar Harbor, Maine, and it's neck and neck.
The race is all about the sense of place and the stakes, as is usually the case in competition, is about … well, let's just put it out there — it's about pride and ego, and a bit of self-serving capitalism. OK, so we're not out to save the world today. We're not even appealing to our better selves. Rather, we'd just like to win.
Still, the satisfaction would be sweet and the stakes, while small, are suddenly worthwhile.
We have a jewel in the heart of downtown Middlebury, a parcel of land behind the library, which we can do whatever we wish with. It could be a river walk, condos, restaurants, playground, park, a beautiful entrance to Middlebury seen from the bridge. It could be a magnet, a focus, to bring people to the shops, museum, restaurants, library of our Main Street. New enterprises in this parcel would add to our grand list.
This week's writer is Vignesh Ramachandran, a resident of Fremont, Calif., and a first year at Middlebury College. Ramachandran is a core organizer with Divest Middlebury and a member of the communications team of the Fossil Fuel Divestment Student Network.
Whose Side Are You On?
The 2015 legislative session has ended. At times it felt like a rodeo, full of surprises. I serve on the Commerce and Economic Development Committee. We passed six bills out of our committee that became law. All these bills either benefit consumers or advance our state economy. My committee efforts were among the most satisfying times of the session.
We'd like to start off by thanking Mr. O'Neil for his response (Addison Independent, May 4) to our students, who had submitted letters to the editor about racial profiling. In doing so, he showed our students that, although they are adolescents, they can initiate important conversations about issues that are facing their world, that their voices do matter and that their voices will be heard if they speak out for what they believe in.
Dear Mount Abraham Union High School board members,
I read this headline in the May 7 edition of the Addison County Independent: "Juvenile cases flood court system. County officials say opiate addiction, troubled families cause caseload to spike."
How much does it cost to "fix" these problems?
In the interest of a balanced discussion regarding the airport in East Middlebury, I would like to make a few comments.
This is not just about East Middlebury; the airport serves all of Addison County and some of Rutland County, too.

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to get my hearder title text colors blended, with this I mean starting with one color and ending with another.
Here is an example I found on HandySolo's site: http://www.solo-technology.com/blog/the-tags/
This is part of a plug-in code, but I was wondering if it is possible to do the same with my header text? (with out the plugin =])
And if the answer is yes: how do I do this?
Thanks in advance,

The Philippine government is seeking to recover museum-quality impressionist works after a past aide to Imelda Marcos received a prison sentence for conspiring to sell the paintings, including a Claude Monet piece that fetched $32 million US.
Vilma Bautista, a former personal secretary to the widow of ex-president Ferdinand Marcos, was sentenced in New York on Monday to two to six years in prison.
The case revolves around her sale of the 1899 Monet water lily painting Le Bassin aux Nymphéas to a London gallery, which later sold the work to a Swiss collector.
In November, Manhattan-based Bautista was convicted of conspiracy, tax fraud and other charges. She has also been ordered to pay approximately $3.5 million US in state taxes.
Prosecutors accused the ex-aide of conspiring to sell ill-gotten treasures. They said Bautista, who was mired in debt, tried to sell all four paintings, acquired by Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos during their reign, in her possession. The other works are:
- L'église et La Seine a Vétheuil by Claude Monet.
- Langland Bay by Alfred Sisley.
- Le Cyprès de Djenan Sidi Said by Albert Marquet.
With the successful sale of Le Bassin aux Nymphéas, Bautista was able to pay some of her debts, give money to relatives and associations and keep $15 million US, the prosecutors said, adding that they believe Imelda Marcos herself knew nothing of the sale.
However, the defence claims Bautista has simply been caught up in a clash between her former employer and the current Philippine government. Her lawyers argue that she believed Marcos rightfully owned the works and had granted permission to sell them.
An appeal is planned. On Monday, the Manhattan judge ruled that the frail, 75-year-old Bautista could remain free on bail pending the appeal.
Famed extravagance
During Ferdinand Marcos' repressive two-decade regime, his wife Imelda was known for lavish displays of extravagance, including her much-hyped shopping sprees and her massive shoe collection.
In the mid-1980s, the poverty-stricken Southeast Asian nation erupted in a "people power" movement that ousted the couple and forced them to flee the country. Though Marcos died in exile in Hawaii in 1989, his widow eventually returned to the Philippines, to active political life and currently sits as a member of the House of Representatives.
The Philippine government claims that during their reign, the couple spent billions of dollars acquiring a vast trove of artworks and jewelry as well as scores of companies, properties and other assets, using the nation's funds. The Presidential Commission on Good Government is charged with finding, investigating and recovering these assets. On Monday, for instance, it won a decision ordering Imelda Marcos to relinquish more than $100,000 in jewelry a Filipino court deemed ill-gotten.
Bautista previously served as the New York-based personal secretary to Marcos. The four artworks in the New York case disappeared from a Manhattan townhouse, owned by the Philippine government, where the former first lady had stayed while in town visiting.
"We want the three [remaining] paintings back," commission chair Andres Bautista (no relation to the former aide) said in Manila on Monday, referencing the New York case.
"We will recover them. They were acquired with state funds so they belong to the Filipino people."
Imelda Marcos, now 84, continues to deny that her family's wealth and assets were ill-gotten.

Shumlin administration makes case against its own proposalBy Peter Hirschfeld
Vermont Press Bureau | February 07,2013The most damning argument yet against the Shumlin administration's plan to cap welfare benefits has come from, well, the Shumlin administration.
In his budget address last month, Gov. Peter Shumlin said "Reach Up" benefits, as they're called, should be "temporary," not "timeless." He said the state should cap lifetime benefits at five years, a move that would save the state an estimated $6 million in fiscal year 2014.
But as is being reported today by VTDigger's Alicia Freese and Seven Days' Paul Heintz, the administration took a hard look at an identical proposal in 2012, and pretty much condemned it.
As Freese noted, a January report signed off on by Commissioner of Children and Families Dave Yacavone – the same guy urging lawmakers to adopt the plan now – concluded that capping benefits at 60 months "could leave families destitute and at risk and will create a large hole in the fabric of Vermont's safety net for those most in need."
In a passage pulled by Heintz, the report says that "the families who would be affected by this cut have three times as many barriers to gaining self-sufficiency as the general Reach Up caseload population."
"They are families with limited abilities and resources to recover from such a loss. The elimination of their financial assistance may put their children at risk and force a cost shift to other programs."MORE IN This Just In

Unfortunately, this is not illegal in Texas. Speir started publicizing the cats in 1998 and received a big backlash in return. She now pities herself publicly, considers herself persecuted, and vilifies, threatens and harasses the people who protest her actions and/or try to put a halt to it. Her husband has left her. The older of her two daughters, Victoria (Tori), has publicly supported her in this and her younger daughter, who is 16, has not said anything publicly against it.

Also, Ives, on her web site, claims to have worked with Hollywood screenwriter/producer John Fusco, who, she alleges, purchased horses from her to use as research on his recent film "Spirit." I don't know if you, the viewer, want to see any of this guy's stuff, now that he's lain down with this dog, assuming she's being truthful about associating with him.
According to Internet Movie Database, these movies include the following, besides "Spirit" : "Lost In America"; "Crossroads" (not the Britney Spears movie but a film starring Ralph Macchio as a steel guitar player released in 1986); "Young Guns"; "Young Guns II"; "Thunderheart"; "The Babe" (which is about Babe Ruth); "Loch Ness"; "Where The Rivers Flow North"; "Loch Ness"; and three other films currently in production, "Hidalgo," which is about some horse person; "The Rebels", a Revolutionary War-themed movie; and a TV miniseries with a Native American theme called "Dreamkeeper."

If you are thinking about getting started with snow boarding then it really does not have to be as difficult as you are probably imagining. For a start, you can be sure that whatever you are planning to do you can be sure that as soon as you hit the slopes you will almost certainly enjoy yourself. When I was younger I always thought that it would be a really hard thing to get started with, but boy was I wrong. However, what I have to tell you is that I recommend you get lessons first, rather than just hitting the slopes with no idea of what you need to do.
Getting lessons booked does not have to be that difficult. All you need to do is speak with your local snow boarding slope and you can be sure that they will put you in touch with a snow boarding instructor in your area that would be glad to help you out. This may cost anywhere from around $35 an hour, but you can get them even cheaper, if you get group lessons. Group lessons means that more than one person learns at the same time, and it really is a very simple thing to do. I had my first lesson from a friend, however I would always recommend that it is best to get professional lessons from a man or a lady that is a professional snow boarding instructor. You can be sure that they have been teaching snow boarding for some time, and they are not only good at snow boarding, but also have a better idea of how to communicate to a learner.

At the time of purchase I attempted to buy Apple Care, as I have always previously done. In all previous purchases I have made, Apple Care was offered as an optional purchase at the time of checkout. This time it was not allowed. Specifically, the website instructed me that in order to buy Apple Care, I had to do so in an Apple store within 30 days of purchase. For a number of reasons, I could not get to an Apple store within that time. Today (November 1), I finally made it to the Apple store at the Gateway in Salt Lake City, UT. I was told that I could not buy Apple Care, because I had not made it to the store within the 30 days. Instead, if I have an incident that would be covered by Apple Care, I could buy it at that time for $50 more. Really? What possible reason could there be for restricting the sale of a product solely to people that live in close proximity to an Apple store? Why would this not be disclosed until the purchase process online is essentially completed? The employee in the store carefully examined my phone to ensure that it was not damaged. It isn't.
So, I miss the date by about 15 days. I can't buy the product. I want to give Apple my money, and they won't take it. Warning to everyone thinking of buying an iPhone: DO NOT buy the iPhone unless you can do so in an Apple store. If you can't, you are out of luck on buying Apple Care.
I have no idea why they instituted this policy. Apple is not the company it used to be.

About town with Bettie, rolled on up into a parking place, u-lock the front wheel, did some banking, visited Alki Bike & Board, and rode some more …
Velocouture was coined by Patrick from Portland, (a bike hugga and avid Flickr contributor) His Flickr group by the same name, Velocouture features photos of stylish practical clothing worn while cycling. For cycling to take hold as a major alternative form of transportation, people should feel as comfortable off their bikes as on them. Many would be cyclists conjure images of spandex clad, ultra fit tour riders, and simply never consider the possibility of a short trip to the store on a bike in practical clothing. I love catching sight of plain clothes cyclists in fashionable garb. We need more of you on the streets, showing the rest of us that cycling can be a simple, fun, and practical form of transportation.
Uploaded by Dapper Lad Cycles | more from the Bike Hugger Photostream.
I came across this photo on Flickr that illustrates a simple and creative way to give basic slacks some cycling utility.
This cyclist has stitched a highly reflective triangle of 3M inside both pant legs. When the legs are rolled up to avoid chain grease, the reflective patch is revealed. This is a great solution for urban cyclists and commuters that want to increase visibility without sporting cycling specific fashions off their bikes.
What about you? Do you have any practical tips for maintaining visibility?

Following our earlier post about Pressure – Cinelli & RVCA working together with artists on bikes – we acquired a photo of a frame with custom paint by artist Barry McGee.
Considering the design aesthetic, I could see this frame built up with either a retro gruppo or straight-up modern, fixed. How would you build up an art bike? Or would you just hang it on the wall?

Extremely disappointed
I had read several good reviews of this hotel here at tripadvisor and also saw some nice writeups in travel guides (one even calling it one of the best hotels in the midwest). The lobby is standard Marriot. Nice, clean and efficient - not grand or luxurious. The room however was depressing. The bed was about 18 inches off the ground and extremely uncomfortable. One of the pillows was hard as a rock. The furniture was comparable to anything you would find at a budget hotel (1970's chic). The bathroom was adequate but not what I would expect from a Renaissance. The mirror and showerhead were placed for people of below average height it seemed. All in all, I had a great time in Springfield visiting the historic sights, but this hotel was a downer. I hated coming back to it at night. I have stayed at Renaissance hotels in other cities, and, while not blown away, I always found them above average. This hotel was not. I would not return.
Loved it!
We had a great stay at this hotel. There were NOT a lot of hotel choices when we went and this happened to be at the top of the list. We got a great deal for three nights and loved everything about it. We would definitely stay here again!
Pleasant experience at this hotel
I just stayed here for 4 nights, and had a great experience. Very nice sized room, good food, and its right downtown. They have a business center,nice swimming pool, and within walking distance of some of the Lincoln sites. I would recommend it to anyone. You can get a great deal on priceline for this too!
Pleasant Stay at the Renaissance
I was quite pleased with my recent stay at this hotel. The hotel staff were all courteous and professional; check-in and check-out were easy and fast. The service in Lindsay's restaurant during breakfast (which is the only meal I ate in the hotel) was outstanding but the food itself was only average. (Food ordered from the breakfast menu was much better than the buffet food.) The parking garage attendant (not a hotel employee) was courteous and friendly. Overnight self-parking in the garage is $5 per night with in and out privileges. The garage is very convenient to the hotel with an elevator from the lower parking levels that leads directly to the hotel lobby.
The hotel decor was traditional, with common areas and rooms kept very clean by housekeeping. The rooms themselves were a bit dated. It has been quite some time since I have stayed in a hotel room that still has the traditional 12 button desk phone with a red light sticking up on its top. Most of the other furnishings also showed their age with numerous scratches and chips in the "wood." The guest services directory had a dirty (not cleanable), bent cover that had been white or light tan many years ago. However, everything in the room functioned properly and was kept clean by housekeeping. The room amenities were those that one would expect from a typical business class hotel. There was an iron/ironing board, coffee maker, internet port (fee), and daily newspaper delivery. The towels were all cotton and reasonably sized; the bath amenities were the "Bio" line that is used in Renaissance hotels. The beds were triple sheeted with cotton/polyester blend sheets; the mattress was of reasonable quality though it was a bit softer than I prefer. The condition of the room furnishings is the reason I gave this hotel a "4" rather than a "5".
The hotel has a good location in downtown Springfield for both business and leisure travel. The hotel is attached to the convention center and is within a few blocks of the capital complex (5-10 minute walk). Most of the Lincoln sites, such as Lincoln's home, are within 3 blocks of the hotel. While downtown Springfield is rather quiet at night, there are several restaurants within 2 blocks of the hotel and the Hilton is directly across the street.
Overall, I was quite satisfied with my stay at the Renaissance and would be delighted to stay there again if in Springfield.
Springfield Renaissance Not Up to Renaissance Standards
I recently stayed one night here. It's not a bad hotel, but it's certainly not up to the standards I have experienced at other Renaissance Hotels. The hotel could use some serious updating and renovating. My room was large and clean with a view of the capitol. All of the furnishings, however, were worn and scuffed and seemed of an inferior quality. The color scheme was very unappealing - - a weird combination of greens, reds, and grays. I couldn't figure out what the designer was trying to accomplish with this odd combination. The bed was ok but a little soft. Service was good, not great. The location was very close to the Lincoln sites. Since this was the purpose of my visit, this was a plus. The restaurant food was average while the service was very good - - at least for breakfast which was the only meal I ate there. Parking was convenient and cost $5.00 per night. Overall, you probably won't do much better in Springfield. The Hilton is directly across the street but I did not check it out except for the restaurant on the 30th floor. The food was good and the view was nice. I would stay here again, but only for a night. Definitely not a place to stay if you want upscale accomodations and service.
A Renaissance Moment, nice retreat in Springfield
I attended a professional conference for work at the Renaissance Hotel, Springfield, IL, over the past weekend. No one wants to have to work on weekends, so I was pleasantly surprised at the excellent service and facilities I received at the Renaissance Springfield. The complimentary Airport shuttle was on time and the driver(s) both to and from the Hotel were friendly and accomidating. When I arrived at the hotel I was checked in within minutes. The front desk staff were on the ball, especially with all the conference crowd. I booked a Conceirge Floor Level room for a few dollars over the basic room rate, and was pleasant surprised at the huge room, fluffy bathrobes, and comfortable/clean accomodations. The extra details, e.g. like the "rubby ducky" for the bathtub- let you know the hotel is really trying to gain (and retain) your business. I would recommend the hotel to others, and recommend you ask about upgrade to the Conceirge Floor. Breakfast and Drinks/Snacks served in the Conceirge Floor Lounge during the week. A nice visit had by all.
Nice, But Noisy
Hotel was nice, staff nice, hotel clean, room comfortable. However, rooms need earplugs because of downtown train whistles.
Not many choices in Springfield, is the problem...
The problem is that there are only 2 really known hotels to pick from... The Hilton and the Marriott.
We did not go into the Hilton, so I cannot compare, but they are directly across the street from each other.
The Marriott... I called in advance to the hotel itself to make sure that we got a room with a good view of the capitol, as well as NO feather anything in the room due to severe feather allergies. Well, we got a crappy view, and the pillows had feathers.
We called down, got a room change (the hotel was not full, so they had rooms available to change us to. We got an okay room. It looked moderately clean, but is in need of an update.
Our sheets had holes, and the mattress cover on the full size bed was for a twin size bed! I had to call housekeeping and get a full-size pad then make the bed myself. The mattresses are saggy. They sag without anyone in them, so be prepared for an achy back!
Not enough towels. 3 large towels was all they supply and one tiny bottle of shampoo and conditioner. I called housekeeping and requested the additional towels, but they never came. I called again, and finally they came. I also requested more shampoo & conditioner, but they never came!! 4 people, one small bottle of conditioner for our entire stay!
Bathtub was slippery (again a problem due to the fact that the hotel needs a renovation) and my 9 yr old slipped and fell in the shower cutting his toe!
Lindsay restaurant breakfast buffet sucks!!!! SUCKS!! The service is friendly, but the food is better at McDonalds.
The town is scary, itself. Lots of homeless and you can see that the town is not one to go out in at night. Marriott, luckily, has a nice pool, but it is in a secluded spot, so if there were ever any problems, or an emergency... good luck. But it was clean. The health club room is smaller, but okay. It's free.
Disappointed in the Renaissance
I just stayed at this hotel over the weekend (July 17, 2004) and I was very disappointed. I am a travel agent and have stayed in a lot of hotels. This wasn't one of the worst ones but I would not ever stay here again. I expected a lot better for a Renaissance. The woman at the front desk was very rude. I was very uncomfortable.
When we got to our room, it was very warm. I went over to change the thermostat to find that it was set on 70 degrees already. There was one small vent at the very end of the room but the window. It did not cool the room.
When I got ready to go to bed, I pulled back the covers and found a torn sheet on my bed. When I looked further, I found three tears in it. Why would you put a sheet on the bed that is in that shape?
Also, around the edges of the furniture, there were very visible piles of dust.
I can put up with a lot and over look a lot but this was too much. I would not stay there again nor would I ever book a client there. The Hilton is right across the street and it is a much nicer hotel.
I decided to write a letter to the hotel manager. I called today to get the name and got a very rude person on the phone. If you want customer service, it is not the place for you.
Classic elegance
I got this downtown hotel on Priceline and was pleasantly surprised by the elegant and classic hotel. I hear they do a wonderful Sunday brunch.

my favorite animals
October 16, 2012
I often meet these skinny cats when I go out to get some coffee beans at one of my favorite coffee shops.
"Hey, mommy?"
"Hey, mom, can I let this human pet me?"
"Hello? Can I help you? Do you have food for us?"
Mommy has gorgeous emerald eyes.
She was still chilling out there on my way back from the coffee shop.
Spotted another pair of mom and kitten.
Doggies are awesome, too, especially this guy.

I'm using JW player plugin for wordpress (not wordtube) and while single files play fine, playlists result in the message "Task Queue failed at step 5: Playlist could not be loaded: XML could not be parsed or playlist was empty". See an example here:
I know I'm using the plugin correctly and that it is caused by a specific conflict between the plugin and my template which is called Pendulum, (http://themeforest.net/item/pendulum-premium-wordpress-theme/113557) since the JW player plugin works fine on other themes I activate. Furthermore, I have tested Wordtube (since disabled) and this works fine with playlists on the Pendulum theme, so it is something specific to the way the JW player is embedded.
When I use firebug, the only difference between my theme Pendulum, and any other theme in which playlists work is that my theme has 'index.php?xspf=true&id=32' rather than 'index.php?xspf=true&:id=32'
Can anyone point me in the right direction so that I can approach the theme developer with something concrete? I'm happy to experiment myself also but have no idea where to start.

With the definitive route expected to be announced in the coming weeks, AUTOSPORT understands the event will move from Cardiff for the first time since 2000, with a base close to Wrexham.
The route is expected to be quite different to the one the event has run in recent years.
"It's more than a good time for them to try to change something," Citroen team principal Yves Matton told AUTOSPORT.
"From what I saw last year in Cardiff, I don't think there is a lot of interest to go back there - there were not a lot of people there and one of the reason we do rallying is to have contact with the people.
"If we can be next to a big town and people are interested in the rally and know we are there, then I am happy.
"We need to have a rally in Britain, it's part of the [sport's] history and so many people are interested in the sport in Britain, but in the other way the rally needs to be at the right level."
M-Sport boss Malcolm Wilson praised the move north, but underlined the need for long-term stability.
"I think the organisers have finally taken on-board what we have been trying to get across," said Wilson.
"We are moving forward with them now and this is very good news.
"What they're talking about with the route for this year is a big step in the right direction, but it's got to be for the long-term and I keep harping on to them about this – they need to build a base for the future of the rally."
Rally GB organisers have launched a 'Road to Wales' promotional campaign in a push to rebuild spectator numbers. As part of this, M-Sport will field a WRC car at the Cholmondeley Pageant of Power on June 14-16, with Volkswagen and Citroen considering joining.

Unit 101 overlooks the Caribbean Sea, and Klein Bonaire in the distance. The unit is a two-story, one-bedroom condo, with a ground level patio and direct access to the pool, and a second floor balcony to experience the evening sunsets while enjoying your favorite cold beverage.
The bedroom is on the ground floor and has a queen bed; the room has air conditioning and a ceiling fan. The bathroom is also located on the ground floor. Upstairs the unit has a living area and a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook meals while on vacation. For those who wish to dine out, it is a 10-minute walk down the sea front to get to town where you will find a multitude of eating options.
The second floor living space is fully air-conditioned and has a ceiling fan. It has a 27" flat screen TV with cable and an iPod CD player. The couch folds flat to form an additional bed if required. Our unit includes FREE wireless internet.
Dive Friends Bonaire (DVB), Yellow Submarine dive shop is conveniently located next door, so you can walk to get your dive equipment and dive in front of the unit. You are entitled to a 10% discount at DVB on shore diving, boat diving or courses if you rent our unit. Total Car Rentals offers renters at Seaside Apartments a 10% discount if you need a car or truck rental. We will be happy to provide assistance with your Bonaire vacation.
We fell in love with the island of Bonaire a number of years ago and decided to purchase our dream vacation home. We have traveled to a number of locations world wide, and have kept coming back to Bonaire each year. The diving here is fantastic!
Gord Alder or Trudy Donnelly purchased this condo in 2008
This property was the perfect location for us; it is an easy 10-minute walk into town, so we can enjoy the restaurants and shopping easily. The property is also located beside Dive Friends Bonaire's Yellow Submarine location so we can just walk over to get our equipment and keep our tanks full of air. The property is located on the ocean front, so we can enjoy the beautiful ocean and sunsets.
One of the big benefits our unit has over other units in the same building is the fact that we have a two-story unit. This means that we have our bedroom located on the ocean front side, away from any road noise. We also have a large ground floor patio that provides easy access to the common pool, and our second floor balcony provides a wonderful ocean view.
We were a little worried about not staying in one of the resorts that offered lodging/car/diving packages for our first trip to Bonaire, but this worked out perfectly.
Great location next to the wonderful DFB dive shop. Our flight landed late in the evening, but getting into the apartment was a breeze with the electronic lock box. LCD TV with plenty of channels, fast wifi, and air-conditioning for relaxing at night. We didn't use the kitchen much, but it came with all the essentials. Walking distance from downtown and the resorts north of town.
Owner was responsive and provided driving directions and a guide to the apartment.
Our overall experience was very good. We enjoyed our stay. The layout of the apartment was fun. We ate breakfast on the balcony every morning. The entry was nice as a drop zone for all of our snorkle gear. Having such a nice modern kitchen was extremely handy.
It took a little getting use to the dual electric system, but figured it out quickly. Very happy that they added free internet as we were able to skype with our kids a few times.
Snorkled right outside the apartment one day and saw over a dozen species of fish and a couple types of eel. Also learned a valuable lesson about fire coral growing on ropes.
Condo owner Gord was always prompt and responsive in providing answers and information whether questions were about the island, dining, diving and of course the condo. Excellent communication from beginning to end. Gord provided both photos and written instructions on how to access the lock box and room key. Everything went smoothly.
When searching various properties I was hoping to combine desires to be within walking distance of restaurants and town yet within a peaceful and quiet setting. This unit fit the bill. Although the condo is close to the road, the layout has the bedroom facing a beautiful courtyard with pool. I am a light sleeper and avoid noisy properties. Noise was never an issue here.
Unit was modern, clean, with ample closet space. Layout provided a spacious environment. Enjoyed having the patio on lower level with the line to dry swimwear and scuba gear. Upper patio was perfect for breakfast and dinner. I would definitely stay here again. On top of all the amenities, it was a great value.
This was my 6th transaction on VRBO. Always a pleasure and success. It makes staying in a cookie cutter hotel room unappealing anymore :)
What a perfect condo! We spent 3 glorious weeks enjoying the island. Our stay at Seaside 101 was terrific, very modern, clean, everything you need. I actually cooked more than I thought I would as the kitchen was fully equipped. The location is excellent for a stroll downtown along the boardwalk overlooking the sea. There were so many restaurants to choose from. Snorkeling right out front was so convenient, just slipped in to the water to enjoy all the colourful fish. To add to that, the pool felt like it was our own private place, right off the bedroom. Will definitely return one day, thank you. Highly recommended.

Tom Maher's side led for most of the final quarter after pegging Canada back, who were in front for most of the match, but were unable to drive home their advantage and eventually lost 73-65.
Great Britain always tried to stay within three points of Canada, as they looked to bounce back from defeat to world number two Australia in their opening fixture.
Australian-based Jo Leedham was at the centre of everything, but her shooting needed to improve if Team GB were to close the gap.
With Great Britain scoring everything from the free throw line, they were unfortunate to trail into the interval 36-32, with Natalie Stafford their top scorer.
The hosts started the second half well and managed to claw back to within one point, but some quick breaks and good movement meant Canada were scoring consistently under the basket.
Great Britain struggled to cope with the size of Krista Phillips, but a much better performance, an increased shooting percentage and some great play from Leedham, saw them head into the fourth quarter just two points down.
With their noses in front, Great Britain worked hard to put Canada under pressure, and Julie Page stretched Team GB's lead to four points midway through the final quarter.
In a tense finish, the sides were level as they headed into a timeout before a superb shot from outside the arc for Canada sent them ahead.
They then turned on the accelerator and three quick baskets, including one three pointer, left the hosts seven points behind.
Canada used their experience to see out the game, as Leedham desperately attempted to finish from the three-point line, before time ran out with Canada winning by eight points.
The manner of the defeat will be a cruel blow to Great Britain and they will need to pick themselves up before they face two-time Olympic bronze medallist Russia.
The French women's basketball team produced a stunning overtime upset of three-times silver medallists Australia on Monday in a wildly entertaining game in the Olympic tournament.
The 74-70 victory for France marked the first Olympic defeat for Australia against a team other the United States since 1996 and gave the winners a 2-0 record in preliminary play while dropping the losers to 1-1.
"It was a big, big victory because it was against a big team like Australia," French captain Celine Dumerc said. "It was not a target for us at the beginning of the tournament but we played with desire and energy to get the win."
The tightly played contest had a thrilling moment that went in Australia's favour at the end of regulation time.
After France had taken a 65-62 lead with three seconds left in the game, Australian Belinda Snell heaved up a miracle shot from beyond the midcourt line that went through the hoop with no time left on the clock to send the game into overtime.
"I screamed for it (the ball) and I threw it up there," Snell said about her sensational game-tying shot.
France led by as many as 13 points in the game and Australia led by as much as eight but the final minutes produced nail-biting drama.
"Whoa. That's basketball as we like to play it," France's Isabelle Yacoubou said. "There were some mistakes. There were some amazing shots."
Emilie Gomis, who ignited the French attack with 14 points over the first five minutes of the second half, led France with 22 points and Dumerc contributed 13.
Suzy Batkovic led the way with 17 points for Australia, who were hurt by having both Lauren Jackson and Elizabeth Cambage foul out.
Australian captain Jackson scored 13 points in just under 26 minutes on the court, while Cambage had 12 in less than 22 minutes.
"As a spectacle for the fans it was a great game, but for us it was a bit of a shame," said Jackson.
Dumerc said it was too soon for France to dream they could top Group B for a favourable position in the quarter-finals.
"We started greatly with two wins against teams that are on our level or even better than us," the captain said after the rousing win that followed an opening 73-58 victory over Brazil.
"But we still have three games to play before we can even think if we can top the group."
The US, evoking memories of the men's Dream Team of 1992, put on a hoops masterclass in routing African champions Angola 90-38.
It took a little while for the Americans to get in synch, but once they did the reigning four-times Olympic champions put on a fastbreak show to extend their Games winning streak to 35 matches.
The last time the US women lost at an Olympics was 20 years ago in Barcelona when they came away with the bronze at the same Games where the newly-invited NBA stars swept to the gold beginning with a 116-48 romp over Angola's men's team.
Candace Parker led a balanced US attack with 14 points on Monday while Sonia Guadalupe was top scorer for Angola with 10 points as they lost again in their second outing.
China improved to a 2-0 record with an easy 83-58 win against Croatia; Russia (2-0) won 69-59 against Brazil (0-2), and Turkey (2-0) won 61-57 over the Czech Republic (0-2).

I am running WP 3.1.3
Yesterday I was creating a new page and when I went to save a draft copy, I was redirected to my "Error 404: Page not found" page.
If I paste in a chunk of text (~450 words), I will get this error.
If I enter smaller chunks of text (~10 words), I don't get the error.
I have tested this on different PCs and with different browsers and am able to replicate the problem.
Has anyone else encountered this?

Augusta, GA--
Another day, another meeting set for the Augusta-Richmond County
Legislative Delegation and the members of the Coliseum Authority.
This one will be Saturday, February 9, at 1 pm (GMT 05:00). It will be at Augusta Technical College, Building 100.
A meeting this week in Atlanta ended up with only five Coliseum Authority members attending. There are 12 members on that board.
Delegation Chair Rep. Quincy Murphy notified other lawmakers and the Authority members of the time and place for this latest planned meeting.
The Authority has been embroiled in controversy since a quorum of members voted to fire some employees. There has also been criticism about lack of events at the James Brown Arena and Bell Auditorium.

Crêpes 101
No offense to the American breakfast favorite, but crêpes are so much more than thin, pliable pancakes. Filled, folded, and served hot from the skillet or warm from the oven, crêpes can be made sweet or savory, and they can be turned out in large or small numbers for an elegant dinner party entrée or an easy snack for kids on a rainy afternoon. Once you've mastered the pour-tilt-swirl motion for making crêpes in a basic skillet (no griddle or special pan necessary), test it out on the following recipes, which can easily be doubled or tripled. Before you know it, you'll be flipping, filling, and folding like a pro.
What You'll Need
Mixing bowl
Wire whisk or electric mixer
Liquid measuring cup
9- or 10-inch nonstick skillet
Canola oil
Paper towels
3 Easy Steps
1. Lightly grease nonstick skillet with paper towel dipped in canola oil; heat pan over medium to medium-high heat until drop of water sizzles on surface. Pour 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup batter onto one side of pan.
2. Lift skillet off of burner, and tilt pan to spread batter until it covers bottom completely. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, or until edges begin to brown.
3. Loosen edges of crêpe, and flip with thin spatula. Cook 30 seconds more. Add filling, fold or roll up crêpe, and remove to plate. Repeat process with remaining batter and filling. Regrease pan as necessary (about every third crêpe or so, just as you would for pancakes).September 2009 p.36

DUBAI: Dubai will beef up its surveillance capability by installing more cameras around the city-state after the hit squad suspected of murdering a Hamas operative was caught on a hotel video, a newspaper reported yesterday.
The emirate's existing network of 25,000 security cameras has helped police identify the members of an alleged hit squad who killed Mahmoud Al Mabhouh in his Dubai hotel room in January. Dubai blamed Israel's Mossad spy agency and alleged the assassins traveled there on fake identities and forged European and Australian passports.
Police released a 10-minute compilation of video surveillance showing several of 32 identified suspects arriving at Dubai airport, entering a hotel lobby and even riding an elevator with the victim.
Dubai Police Chief Lt. Gen. Dahi Khalfan Tamim told local newspaper The National that the 1,700 hours of footage from closed circuit cameras police reviewed after Al Mabhouh was found dead in his hotel room on January 20 provided crucial material for untangling the complex plot. Tamim could not immediately be reached y to confirm the report.
"With the Al Mabhouh murder, we were able to play back time through the footage captured by cameras and ... we were able to pull the strings together and identify the suspects," Tamim told the newspaper. He said Dubai will spend $136 million to get more cameras that will cover "dead spots" in the city.
"We will have cameras everywhere," Tamim said.

The Red Balloon and White Mane
Before an angst-ridden teenager recorded a plastic bag dancing in front of a brick wall in American Beauty, a balloon followed a little boy around the streets of Paris. Albert Lamorisses sincere, playful short film The Red Balloon tells the tale of a young boy (played by Lamorisses son Pascal) and his ill-fated friendship with a red balloon. It won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay in 1957.
Lamorisse won his first film award at the Cannes Film Festival in 1953, taking home the Best Short Film award for White Mane, a story about a boy and a different found object: a white horse. You can see both shorts today, and if, after that, you want more Lamorisse, go home and play a challenging game of Risk. Lamorisse created the complicated board game of world domination in between making films and raising a family. (Were guessing nobody told him there wasnt an Oscar for multitasking.) 7 p.m. today through Sunday. Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 1001 Bissonnet. For tickets and information, call 713-639-7531 or visit www.mfah.org. $6 to $7.

Unusually sophisticated in so many ways, this colourful tale is let down by some truly awful songs from the usually dependable Tim Rice and Elton John. The English pair produced a succession of catchy tunes for "The Lion King" when they were hired by Disney, but cannot repeat the trick here.
Yet that is the one significant flaw in a film that is remarkably assured and offers verbal and physical humour for a wide audience. On this evidence, DreamWorks SKG is catching up with Disney at a rapid rate. Kenneth Branagh and Kevin Kline voice the film's two roguish heroes, 16th century Spanish conmen Miguel and Tulio, who are forced to stow away on a ship while escaping an angry mob.
The ship is captained by legendary explorer Cortes, and is setting sail for the New World and the fabled 'City of Gold'. Escaping their fate at the hands of their unwilling host, they slowly make their way to land and by chance discover El Dorado for themselves. Mistaken for Gods they are torn between staying and enjoying their new lives, or stealing as much treasure as possible and returning to Spain.
There's more than a touch of "The Man Who Would Be King" here, but it's not so heavy and dramatic as to lose the younger audience. Armand Assante brings larger-than-life villainy to the ambitious high priest who comes to suspect that these gods may be mere mortals, while Rosie Perez is the smart young woman who also has their measure. It's a bright and enjoyable tale, well told and beautifully performed - so good that, at times, you forget it's animated at all.

With triple-digit temperatures in the horizon, it's important to stay cool to prevent heat-related illnesses. (WRDW-TV / June 26, 2012)
Information on battling the heat:
List of Columbia County cooling centers
You can call (706) 556-0807 to get help with transportation to the cooling centers in Columbia County.
List of Richmond County cooling centers
News 12 This Morning / Tuesday, June 26, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Temperatures are expected to climb into the triple digits this week and the scorching heat isn't expected to go anywhere. That's why Columbia County is opening up their cooling centers to provide some relief.
Buckets of ice, cold water and central air conditioning are all available at the Bessie Thomas Community Center in Grovetown. It's the place to escape to during the hottest part of the day.
The senior citizen center doubles as a cooling center all summer long.
Angela Stone, who moved to Georgia from New York City, visits the center at least four times a week. Just thinking about the triple digits makes her uncomfortable.
"Uh ... hottest day ... whew," she said.
Pam Tucker with Columbia County EMA says, "If they just feel like they don't have anywhere to go and just want to sit, cooling centers are ideal for that."
It becomes a necessity for homeowners struggling to keep their bills down.
"A lot of people are leaving the thermostat very high or if their air conditioning unit breaks down, they don't have the money to repair it," Tucker said.
Columbia County has seven cooling centers strategically placed for easy access no matter where you live in the county. If you don't have transportation, some centers will pick you up by bus if you call ahead.
"July and August are the big months," Tucker said. "Whenever you have those consecutive days with heat indexes of 105 or greater, that's the danger zone."
Even short periods of high temperatures can cause hot weather health emergencies like a heat stroke, where your body becomes incapable of regulating its temperature, and that can cause death.
"Especially our senior citizens who are vulnerable, their systems kind of lose their ability to cool themselves as they get older," Tucker said.
So take extra precautions around seniors and the youngest family members. If you need transportation, you can call (706) 556-0807 to find out about the bus service that is available.

|The impact of land use change and check-dams on catchment sediment yield
|Boix-Fayos, Carolina; Vente, Joris de; Martínez-Mena García, M. Dolores; González Barberá, Gonzalo; Castillo Sánchez, Victor Manuel
|Land use change
Sediment yield
Geomorphological impact
|Issue Date:
|John Wiley & Sons
|Hydrological Processes 22(25): 4922-4935 (2008)
|Extensive land use changes have occurred in many areas of SE Spain as a result of reforestation and the abandonment of agricultural activities. Parallel to this the Spanish Administration spends large funds on hydrological control works to reduce erosion and sediment transport. However, it remains untested how these large land use changes affect the erosion processes at the catchment scale and if the hydrological control works efficiently reduce sediment export. A combination of field work, mapping and modelling was used to test the influence of land use scenarios with and without sediment control structures (check-dams) on sediment yield at the catchment scale. The study catchment is located in SE Spain and suffered important land use changes, increasing the forest cover 3-fold and decreasing the agricultural land 2·5-fold from 1956 to 1997. In addition 58 check-dams were constructed in the catchment in the 1970s accompanying reforestation works. The erosion model WATEM-SEDEM was applied using six land use scenarios: land use in 1956, 1981 and 1997, each with and without check-dams. Calibration of the model provided a model efficiency of 0·84 for absolute sediment yield. Model application showed that in a scenario without check dams, the land use changes between 1956 and 1997 caused a progressive decrease in sediment yield of 54%. In a scenario without land use changes but with check-dams, about 77% of the sediment yield was retained behind the dams. Check-dams can be efficient sediment control measures, but with a short-lived effect. They have important side-effects, such as inducing channel erosion downstream. While also having side-effects, land use changes can have important long-term effects on sediment yield. The application of either land use changes (i.e. reforestation) or check-dams to control sediment yield depends on the objective of the management and the specific environmental conditions of each area.
