Father of missing girl guilty in unrelated case
The biological father of Alexis Patterson, the missing girl who was 7 when she vanished on her way to school, pleaded guilty Tuesday to two felony counts of child abuse in an unrelated case.
Kenya Campbell, 40, faces up to 30 years in prison when he is sentenced by Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Rebecca Dallet.
In a plea agreement, Campbell admitted he beat his 8-month-old daughter in late November, breaking her jaw, lacerating her liver and causing massive head trauma.
Campbell was in jail when Alexis went missing in 2002 and, according to Milwaukee police, he is not a suspect in her disappearance.
4 teens arrested in armed robbery of boy
Four teens were arrested in connection with the armed robbery of a 13-year-old boy, Milwaukee police said.
The robbery occurred about 1:30 p.m. Saturday in the 2500 block of W. Orchard St. The boy, who was injured in the attack, told police that four male teens approached him, pointed a gun at him and struck him before taking his cellphone, according to a police news release.
About two hours later, District 2 police officers were called to a reported break-in and found the four teens, who ranged in age from 13 to 16 and matched the description of the suspects in the earlier robbery.
Law to require infant tests advances
A measure that would allow Wisconsin to join at least 31 other states in requiring babies to be screened for the No. 1 killer of infants with birth defects moved forward Tuesday after two years of delays.
The Senate Committee on Health and Human Services unanimously recommended approval of the bill, which would allow the Department of Health Services to require screening for critical congenital heart disease.
A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel investigation in December revealed that although most hospitals were screening newborns for the condition voluntarily, more than a dozen were not performing the test. A 2010 study found that nine newborns in Wisconsin died in a five-year period because their critical congenital heart disease went undetected.
In 2012 and 2013, state lawmakers proposed bills to add the condition to the 44 Wisconsin screens for, but they languished in committee.
Man, 72, accused
of pointing gun
Milwaukee police will refer to prosecutors the case of a 72-year-old man who allegedly pulled a gun on a female employee at Riverside University High School on Monday.
The incident began about 7 a.m. Monday in the 1700 block of E. Locust St., where a 17-year-old boy said the 72-year-old business owner showed a handgun during an altercation, Lt. Mark Stanmeyer said.
A short time later, the business owner went to Riverside, the teen's school, and talked with two female staff members at the school's entrance about the incident, Stanmeyer said.
During the discussion, the man allegedly pulled out a gun and pointed it at one of the women.
Dad allegedly drops gun, shooting son
A 50-year-old Milwaukee man, who has a prior felony conviction, is accused of accidentally shooting his 7-year-old son in the leg while they were at a Milwaukee auto parts store.
Isom Brumfield Jr. is charged with injury by negligent handling of a dangerous weapon.
Brumfield was with his son at Advance Auto Parts, 4810 N. Teutonia Ave., on Jan. 25 when he reached into his pocket to pay for an item and removed a handgun, placing it on the counter, Milwaukee police said.
The employee asked him to put the gun away, and as Brumfield tried to do so, he dropped it on the floor and caused it to fire, wounding his son in the leg, according to a police news release. The child was treated for minor injuries and released from a hospital.
Hartford man, 20, stabbed to death
A 20-year-old man was stabbed to death Tuesday in the Town of Hartford, allegedly by his 17-year-old brother, according to the Washington County sheriff's office.
The stabbing was reported following an argument at a residence shortly before 2 p.m., according to a news release from the sheriff's office.
The man's brother was in custody in the Washington County Jail late Tuesday on suspicion of first-degree reckless homicide while armed, the sheriff's office said.
Man, 22, killed sitting in car parked on street
A 22-year-old man was shot and killed Monday afternoon while sitting in a car parked in the 2800 block of W. Kilbourn Ave., according to a Milwaukee police news release Tuesday.
Phone-snatching thief is sentenced
A Milwaukee man who unknowingly targeted a prosecutor during an iPhone snatching spree last summer was sentenced Tuesday to 41/2 months in jail.
Keith A.G. Smith, 18, grabbed at least five cellphones from the hands of their female users over two weeks in July. He pleaded guilty to five counts of theft of movable property.
As part of the sentence, Milwaukee County Circuit Judge William Brash imposed but stayed a 21/2 year prison term, which Smith could serve if he fails to meet all the conditions of the probation — 75 hours of community service, restitution and 41/2 months in jail.

Product Reviews
Rated 3 out of 5 by Deanswifey from Nice but...... These lights are nice but there is too much variance in the color and since you cannot hand pick them you get whatever you are sent. One of the lights is a much lighter blue than the other two, and one of them is much thicker and heavier. I know these are hand made but it's hard to match them. It's fine if you only need one. I'm going to try to return the odd one in hopes that the next one will match but if not, I'll have to send them all back. Very expensive and time consuming to do all that.

Welcome to the Big Creek & Southern!
Welcome to our new website!
In order to get our information out to our many fans and people that regularly operate here, we've installed a new type of website which will allow us to update our site faster and easier! You'll still find your favorite photos and articles about previous events and our history here.

About our railroad...
Welcome to the Big Creek and Southern Railroad! The BC&S is a private 7 1/2 inch railroad situated on a 13.3 acre tract of former farm land and is devoted to having fun with riding scale trains. We are located 40 miles southeast of Kansas City, about midway between Lees Summit and Harrisonville, Missouri. We have a monthly run day the fourth Saturday of each month and any persons interested in or already involved in the live steam railroading hobby are welcome to come and run with us. If you live within an hour's drive of the railroad and want to operate with us, we ask that you participate as much as possible in our work days (Saturdays from April through November, weather permitting). If you have not operated with us previously, we ask that you please contact us by email before coming for the first time.
Regrettably, due to the high cost of liability insurance, the Big Creek & Southern is not open to the general public and we do not offer train rides nor host parties for the general public. For these things we endorse and highly recommend the Kansas City Northern Railroad located at Line Creek Park at 60th Street and N.W. Waukomis Drive (one mile north of I-29 at Waukomis Drive) in Kansas City's Northland and invite you to contact them for your special group or train party needs.

Original journalism from the Center's OpenSecrets Blog
Walker's exit leaves some major donors up for grabs
September 21, 2015 | As Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker dropped out of the presidential race late Monday afternoon, his announcement created at least an $18 million vacuum. The super PAC backing Walker, Unintimidated PAC, spent $1.8 million on independent expenditures before Walker bowed out. The group had raised $20 million by June 30, with the money coming in from some high-profile Republican…
Conservatives' call to arms: "religious liberty" exemption from gay marriage decision
June 30, 2015 | Just days after the Supreme Court's landmark ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges — which handed gay rights advocates their greatest victory yet, establishing a constitutional right for same-sex couples to marry — conservatives are finagling ways to circumvent the decision. In Texas, the state attorney general was encouraging county clerks to refuse to issue marriage…
All Cooled Off: As Congress Convenes, Former Colleagues Will Soon be Calling From K Street
January 6, 2015 | Seven years after President George W. Bush signed the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act (HLOGA) into law and then-Sen. Barack Obama, (D-Ill.) declared it to be "the most sweeping ethics reform since Watergate," a joint analysis by the Sunlight Foundation and the Center for Responsive Politics suggests the effort may have misfired. A key…
Organizing for Action: Who's Giving to Obama-Linked Nonprofit?
June 17, 2014 | Since the beginning of the 2014 campaign cycle last year, 14 donors — running the gamut from a hedge fund manager to a gay rights activist to a little-known Salt Lake City venture capitalist — have given $100,000 or more to President Barack Obama's avowedly un-campaign committee, Organizing for Action. Another 26 have ponied up…
Is K Street Down the Road for Cantor?
June 13, 2014 | Though it has now come to a screeching finish, Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.)'s leadership position in the House has brought him enduring connections, political clout and insider knowledge — in other words, potent K Street cred. "He brings incredible contacts with the whole Republican caucus in both houses" of Congress, said Ivan H. Adler, a…

April 22, 2014 | Strange brew cooked up on K Street: Charles, David and organized labor.

LGBT Interests, Celebrating Court Rulings, Also Increasingly Active as Donors
June 26, 2013 | LGBT groups and those affiliated with them, celebrating their Supreme Court victories today, have been active political donors, and Democrats are almost always the beneficiaries.
Conservative Groups Granted Exemption Vastly Outspent Liberal Ones
May 16, 2013 | Conservative nonprofits that received tax-exempt status since the beginning of 2010 and also filed election spending reports with the Federal Election Commission overwhelmed liberal groups in terms of money spent on politics by a factor of nearly 34-to-1.
Leadership PAC Funds Often Give Little to Other Candidates
April 9, 2013 | Leadership PACs are an extension of a politician's brand. Set up as auxiliaries to traditional campaign committees, they're traditionally thought of as ways for politicians to earn goodwill by passing campaign cash on to other party members -- bestowing gifts on up-and-comers in exchange for loyalty down the road, or offering tribute to party higher-ups. But in an analysis of leadership PACs, OpenSecrets.org found that of the 25 leadership PACs that spent more than $1 million in the last election cycle, just five of them gave more than 50 percent of their money to other candidates.

Cinnamon WafflesJanuary 2, 2014
If you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw a little peek at a party that I threw with my friend Jonie (from Just Between Friends) last week. We decided to beat the winter blues and throw a quick Winter Wonderland themed shindig complete with snowflakes, ice cream, and waffles! That's right… The main items on the menu were waffles and ice cream. I decided to stick with chocolate and cinnamon waffles, which ended up a big success with the fun flavors of Tillamook Ice Cream we picked up!
So today I'm sharing a closely guarded secret with all of you (not really but I like to pretend)! My cinnamon waffles which are crisp on the outside, soft in the middle, and have a nice subtle cinnamon kick!
- 2 eggs, divided
- 1-3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Preheat your waffle iron. Beat the egg whites until peaks form and set aside.
- Stir together the milk, egg yolks, butter, and vanilla. Set aside.
- Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Mix in the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Fold in the egg whites.
- Pour mix into your waffle iron and cook until golden brown.
These are also great with some chopped banana's or chocolate chips thrown right into the batter. Or you could slice a few strawberries and pair it with fresh whipped cream. OR if you are like me and really enjoy the classics stick with simple syrup. Oh, and LOTS of butter.
HOW TO FREEZE: Layer your waffles on a cookie sheet right after baking. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes (this keeps them from sticking together). Pull them out and toss them into a freezer storage bag. When you are ready to reheat… place them back onto a cookie sheet and under the broiler for a few minutes.0

There's a host of options for great holidays in our region, whether you want a family holiday by the seaside, a cosy cottage for two in the countryside, an activity holiday walking or narrowboating, or a city break. Here are a few ideas...
If you're looking for a holiday with the privacy of your own home from home, but plenty of neighbours around – maybe with other children for the kids to play with, or somewhere with a bar and function room where you can enjoy socialising – a holiday park is the place for you. Parks come in all shapes and sizes from spacious, family-friendly resorts to small and intimate adults-only parks. You can choose from beach-side resorts, parks nestled in the foothills of the mountains or even parks on the edge of a city – whichever you choose you'll be in easy reach of plenty of attractions in the region. Many parks offer lodges and caravans to hire, and if you decide you love it, you can always buy a holiday home of your own!
For more inspiration check out Conwy Holiday Park, www.conwyholidaypark.co.uk; Firtrees Caravan Park near Chester, www.firtreescaravanpark.com; Thornley Leisure, who have seven lovely parks dotted around north Wales and Cheshire (www.thornleyleisure.co.uk); Morfa Lodge Holiday Park near Caernarfon (www.morfalodge.co.uk); and the luxurious Plas Coch on Anglesey (www.plascochholidayhomes.co.uk). And take a look at our holidays pages every issue – there's lots more inspiration and advice there.
If your idea of a holiday means someone else doing the cooking and making the beds, then obviously a hotel or guest house is for you. Want to explore the castles and mountains of north Wales? Maenan Abbey in the Conwy valley (www.maenanabbey.co.uk) is a historic country house hotel and restaurant offering luxury, intimacy and a warm, friendly welcome. . In nearby Deganwy is the cool and sophisticated Quay Hotel & Spa (www.quayhotel.co.uk) from where you can explore, or just relax in luxury at the spa and restaurant.
Mellington Hall in Shropshire (www.mellingtonhall.com) is in a perfect spot for exploring both the Shropshire countryside and the Welsh scenery over the border in Powys, while Chateau Rhianfa on Anglesey (www.chateaurhianfa.com) looks like some sort of fairytale castle out of a Disney cartoon, overlooking the Menai Strait with its own private beach.
For those who want luxury within easy reach of culture, shopping and nightlife, the Chester Grosvenor Hotel (www.chestergrosvenor.co.uk) is right in the middle of the city centre. You can explore the historic attractions, and then relax and revive at the luxury spa.
Active types who want to explore Snowdonia's attractions can choose the Oakeley Arms (www.oakeleyarms.co.uk), which is bang in the middle of the Snowdonia National Park. The hotel has en suite rooms plus self-catering cottages on offer.
Those looking for a true retreat can stay at the historic Gladstone's Library in Flintshire (www.gladstoneslibrary.org), which offers lovely rooms on a bed and breakfast basis. You can even learn while you're on holiday with one of the many courses that are on offer.
Our region is blessed with a number of canals, all with their own character and history and plenty of scenery and sights to discover. We've the Llangollen Canal in north Wales, the Shropshire Union Canal in Cheshire and Shropshire, the Montgomery Canal in mid Wales and the Cheshire Ring in Cheshire. And of course Ellesmere Port on the Wirral is the home of the Canal and River Trust and the National Waterways Museum, where you can find out everything you could possibly want to know about canal boating.
What could be more relaxing than put-putting along a tranquil waterway at a leisurely 4mph, enjoying the scenery and wildlife, with the kettle on in the cosy kitchen, the whole canal network open to you, and knowing that wherever you moor, all the comforts of home are there with you? Hiring a narrowboat is easy; you don't need any qualifications or licences: when you arrive at your chosen marina, you get a tutorial on how to power and steer the boat, and then you're off!
For more inspiration check out Cheshire Cat Narrowboats at Overwater Marina, where you'll find lots of information about narrowboating (www.cheshirecatnarrowboats.co.uk); or Drifters, who have a number of places you can hire boats from on both the Shropshire Union and Llangollen Canals (www.drifters.co.uk).
If you like the idea of travelling around, rather than being tied to one spot, but would prefer to be on solid ground rather than water, a caravanning holiday could be the thing for you. If you'd like advice about buying a caravan, check out Clwyd Caravans near Wrexham (www.clwydcaravans.com); here you'll find a range of caravans new and used on offer, plus a service and repair centre, a shop sellling all the accessories you could possibly need and, not least, plenty of impartial advice and help. There are lots of lovely parks and resorts in the region that are open to touring caravans, including Newnes at Ellesmere (www.thenewnes.co.uk) an adults-only park; and Tan-y-Fron near Dolgellau (www.campsitesnowdonia.co.uk) which also has luxury camping pods for hire and a bed and breakfast.
The seaside resorts, villages and countryside of Wales, Shropshire and Cheshire are lovely spots for a holiday, and there's a wealth of properties for hire by the day, weekend or week in these areas. Whether you're looking for a 14-bed property for a big family get-together, a cosy country cottage for an intimate holiday for two, or a chic, city apartment near the theatre, there's a variety to choose from.
Menai Holidays (www.menaiholidays.co.uk) have a range of cottages on Anglesey, the Llyn Peninsula and in Snowdonia, from properties for large groups, to luxury holiday homes with hot tubs or swimming pools. Sykes Cottages (www.sykescottages.co.uk) offer a variety of properties, based in areas where you can explore everything from castles to rugged countryside. North Wales Holiday Cottages (www.northwalesholidaycottages.co.uk) have farmhouses, apartments, cottages and townhouses on offer as well as truly remote getaways. Fancy a half-timbered Tudor House, or the gate lodge of a castle? Wynhdam Lettings (www.english-country-cottages.co.uk) have all sorts of quirky properties on their books.
At the age of 65 I found myself a real pudding! I weighed 16st 10lb and with failing knees and hip was told to lose weight, so I researched the subject in depth. We all know no-one can live permanently on any kind of diet, plus most put the weight back on when they come off any diet they try.
The answer is that you have to change the way you eat permanently. That's what I did and four years later I have reached my goal having lost four stone. This is the story of how I accomplished this, kept the weight off and have never felt hungry.
Always drink a pint of water (still or sparkling) immediately before you eat
Change to smaller plates – it's psychological but it works
Cook all meals from scratch using ingredients you can recognise
Stock your cupboard with healthy quick-to-use ingredients – tinned mixed beans, tomatoes, fish, eggs etc – so you can knock up a quick meal in 10 minutes
Get rid of all temptation by clearing your kitchen of unhealthy items
Never buy salad dressings; make your own from olive oil, vinegar, garlic and spices
Avoid takeaways and ready meals – they're not called junk food for nothing
Ditch ordinary potatoes; change to sweet potatoes even for chips and roasties
Eat slowly and chew everything thoroughly. This produces digestive enzymes and allows time for signals to reach the brain telling you when you've eaten enough
Never eat anything three hours before bedtime except a milky drink and one dark chocolate square
Always get eight hours sleep
Only drink alcohol at the weekends; one 250ml glass of red wine is about right
Limit your intake of carbohydrates to no more than 15 per cent of your total consumption. Your plate should be 50 per cent vegetables or salad, 35 per cent protein, 15 per cent carbohydrates
If you drink tea make it green tea which is very healthy (zero calories)
If you drink coffee take it black with no sugar (zero calories)
Get a dog (rescue ideally) and walk it twice daily
Buy a FitBit watch and measure your steps, calories etc
Have a weekly treat (chocolate doughnuts from Sainsbury's are my choice)
Swap dairy milk for almond milk
Include protein in every meal to keep you feeling fuller for longer (fish, seafood, eggs, cheese, yoghurt, beans, nuts)
Snack on nuts, seeds, melon, root vegetable crisps, plain popcorn, celery, crudités etc NO DIPS
Try to make most of your five a day vegetables and not fruit which is high in sugar
Only roast, fry etc with coconut oil; it's cheap and superior to anything else
Only use olive oil cold. Never cook with it as it oxidises at low temperatures
Add spices to meals: tumeric, linseeds, back & red pepper, chilli, garlic, onions etc
Aim to lose weight gradually – between 1lb and 2lb per week so your body has time to adjust
Weigh yourself once a week first thing in the morning
Everytime I lost half a stone I would buy myself a non-edible treat such as a teddy bear (I collect them) so I had a tangible reminder of my achievement
I am now back to my comfort weight of 12.5st which was the level I felt really good at in my 30s when I did some glamour modelling, and now, at 70, I feel great! You can do it too!
The secret to sticking to a new fitness regime – to keeping your New Year resolution to be a better you, to get healthy, fit and slim – is to make it fun. There's no point in signing up (and paying) for a year of boring, repetitive exercise classes that you're going to stop attending after the first three weeks.
Studies show that people who are 'externally motivated' – meaning they go to the gym because they're trying to look good for a special occasion – don't stick with it. Those who are 'internally motivated', who exercise because they love it, are the ones who stay in it for the long run. So, obviously, the secret is to find an activity that you love.
Luckily for Yattar Yattar readers, you live in a region where there's a host of fun, exhilarating and interesting options for getting fit and healthy, that will keep you motivated and going back for more. Here are a few ideas for some different activities that you may not have thought of, plus good reasons for doing some that aren't so unusual!
If running mindlessly on a treadmill is not for you; if you want an activity that challenges mind and muscle, climbing could be for you. Almost anyone can rock climb – people of all ages, fitness levels and abilities, from children as young as five to people well into their 80s. You don't need to be super-fit, either – when it comes to rock climbing, good technique is more important than physical strength, although the more you climb the stronger and fitter you will become. Good footwork, body positioning and problem solving (that's the brain bit) , rather than brute strength, is what will get you up many climbs.
More good news is that climbing uses lots of muscles, both in the upper and lower body, from your back, abs and legs to your fingers, shoulders and arms. Plus all the reaching and stretching for holds improves flexibility and agility.
Over time, regular rock climbing can help develop concentration, determination and problem-solving skills. Rock climbing is a good social sport, too, because you'll be climbing with friends, schoolmates, colleagues or family. You have to be able to trust your climbing partners, so if you aren't to start with, you're sure to become firm friends.
If you'd like to give it a go, you can find courses for all levels and ages at The Boardroom Climbing Centre, Queensferry. Visit www.theboardroomclimbing.com or call 01244 537476.
'Fresh air and exercise' is the mantra of health freaks everywhere, and what could be easier than putting on a pair of shoes and getting out for a walk? Sadly, ambling down to the pub doesn't count – for walking to work you need to be striding out with purpose, ie doing 'moderate-intensity aerobic activity', raising your heart rate and breaking a sweat. Walking obviously exercises your leg muscles and it will also exercise your core.
If you don't have obvious places to walk on your doorstep, and aren't sure where to go, try visiting some of the local National Trust properties. Chirk Castle, Erddig Hall, Attingham Park and others have vast areas of parkland with walking trails that you can follow (or you can choose your own route), while Carding Mill Valley in Shropshire is a splendid place walks. Country parks such as Ty Mawr near Ruabon and Greenfield Valley Heritage Park in Flintshire have other things to discover on your walk, such as farm animals, railway viaducts and ancient monuments. Or head for Delamere Forest in Cheshire, where there's plenty of walking and wildlife spotting to be done among the trees. If you want to start out easy, and be sure of a flat walk, head for one of the many canal paths in the region – the Llangollen canal is a favourite, with its famous aqueduct, and the Shropshire Union has plenty of easy walking alongside it. Just don't take it too easy!
If you like the idea of fresh air, but walking isn't fast enough for you, it could be time to get on your bike. Avoid the traffic and pollution by heading for a mountain bike trail – a great way to get fresh air, exercise and have fun.
Mountain biking is great cardiovascular exercise as it gets your heart pumping and your lungs working. It's great exercise for your leg and buttock muscles, obviously, and also strengthens your tendons. As it's non load-bearing (your body is being supported) it's particularly good if you're recovering from injury. Because you're sitting down (well, most of the time) pressure is taken off your joints, so you're less likely to suffer a strain injury.
For those who need the added motivation of companionship, mountain biking can be really sociable, too. It's a great activity to do with friends and family and can be seriously addictive! If you'd like to give it a go, but aren't sure about investing in expensive gear (like a bike, for instance) head for One Planet Adventure in the Llandegla Forest, where you can hire all the equipment you need and also do courses with friendly, experienced trainers. For more information visit www.oneplanetadventure.com
Need to exercise, but can't stand the thought of running? Can't imagine yourself in Lycra? Then a paddlesport such as canoeing or kayaking could be the thing for you. This is an activity that's suitable for people of all fitness levels and ability – there's something for everyone. Whether your aim is to end up tackling white water rapids or going sea kayaking, it's an activity that will use quite different muscle groups from other sports. It's also easy to learn – the basics can be mastered in a day or so, but you can have fun perfecting those skills and learning new ones for years.
Kayaking is great for weight loss, using up about 400 calories per hour. That means that four hours of paddling is going to burn up about 1600 calories. It's great exercise for the upper body, obviously, but in fact if you get your technique right, paddling is a good all-body workout. You need good, strong and flexible core muscles to twist and keep stable, and if you're paddling hard and fast enough, it's good for your cardiovascular system too.
If you're new to the idea of paddlesports, the ideal place to give it a go is at the National Whitewater Centre near Bala, with a white water rafting session with a group of friends or family. It's an ideal activity to inspire you and your friends to get back to being active in the outdoors. Bleddyn Lloyd of the National Whitewater Centre says: 'Some might think twice about icy river water at this time of year but we like to think of it as refreshing and exhilarating! And after a blast of white water, meeting up with fellow crewmates for a run on a damp spring morning will feel that little bit easier.'
You can choose from activities ranging from a one-hour rafting session to half a day in a two-person raft, but the favourite is the Full Rafting Session, a two-hour group activity for up to seven people per boat (multiple rafts are available).
For more information visit www.ukrafting.co.uk or phone 01678 521083
For those who are less active – whether because of age or weight, or recovering from an operation or injury – regular exercise can be difficult. If you're still keen on the idea of joining a gym, the key is to find somewhere that offers a friendly, supportive environment; where you can be sure of getting plenty of encouragement and advice from staff and there's plenty of opportunity to make friends with other users. Take your time checking out gyms before you choose one. What's the environment like? Is it intimidating, a bit scary, or friendly and warm?
Active Life in Shrewsbury is a ladies-only gym with 10 specialist machines that form a complete workout for all parts of the body. 'It's an assisted sytem that's really easy to use,' says manager Sue Owen. 'Each chair exercises a specific area of the body, without putting any stress on the lower back or joints, so it's ideal if you usually lead a more sedate life. It's great for people who find regular exercise difficult. Plus, it takes just 30 minutes to do, and there is no need to wear special gym clothing!'
As well as the exercise system itself, Active Life also has the Healthy You slimming club, where you'll meet plenty of like-minded people and can get lots of support and information, tips and recipes to help you with reaching your ideal weight.
For more information call 01743 588033 or visit www.activelife-plus.co.uk
With just a hint of retro and guaranteed to take those of a certain age back to their childhood, roller skating is a super fun way to get fit. But if the idea of going round and round in circles doesn't appeal, and you're looking for something sociable as well as challenging, joining a roller derby team is a great way to stay motivated.
Invented in the US, the sport is great for both mental and physical fitness. Skating is intense exercise and derby moves are very precise so it's great for concentration. You'll learn skills that go way above just skating – to play for a team you'll need to master going backwards, turning, stepping, one-foot skating and much more, so it's mentally challenging while being great fun. Obviously being a team sport it's a great way to meet like-minded people who will give you plenty of moral support and keep you motivated.
Fancy giving it a go? Evolution Roller Derby in Shrewsbury are looking for new members, male and female, and offer fun and friendly 'newbies sessions' on a Thursday night at the Grange Sports Centre. To find out more visit www.evolutionrollerderby.co.uk
1. Do it for yourself. If you're exercising because you think you should, rather than because you want to, you won't stick to it. Find a workout you love so you'll keep it up.
2. Take it slowly. If you try to do too much too soon, you'll at best end up sore, at worst injured. Take it easy to start with.
4. Mix it up. Keep your regime varied so you don't get bored.
5. Take a friend. If someone else is depending on you to be there, you're less likely to duck out of a workout. Studies show you'll also work out longer with a friend.
6. Make a habit of it. Your workout should be just as much a part of your routine as brushing your teeth.
7. Ditch the guilt. So what if you missed the gym last week and and ate a family sized bar of chocolate over the weekend? It's done and gone, and now is now. You have a chance to get back into your routine today.
8. Be realistic. You're not going to lose a stone in a week. Aim for something that's achievable as a first step. For instance, increase your workout schedule from two to three days a week, or exercise for 15 more minutes each time.
9. Keep are record. Start a fitness journal or use an app to record your progress so you've got a tangible record of how far you've come
10. Celebrate! Lost a pound? Starting to see muscles you didn't know you had? No matter how small the gain, you deserve a reward.
We are lucky to have lots of woodland in this country, which ranges in age massively, from long-standing forests where our ancestors hunted for their food, to modern-day non-native plantations which have been managed and worked to provide materials for building and paper. We also have a variety of types of woodland – different trees like different types of soil, terrain and climate, so depending on where you go and what type of woodland you find, you'll get different displays of colour.
Head for the mountains of north Wales and you'll find upland woods of oak, ash and birch, while in the valleys of Shropshire you'll find native lowland woodland, and of course in Cheshire's country parks and grazed areas there are wood pasture and parkland woods. Among these are probably the most precious type of woodland: our ancient woods, which support more than 200 rare and threatened species of wildlife.
Individual trees are also important features, often defining local landscapes, and bringing together communities. One example is the Lonely Tree at Llanfyllin – the majestic, 200-year-old Caledonian pine was a prominent local landmark, and when it was blown down in the gales of 2014, the local people got together and tipped 30 tonnes of soil over the roots so that any intact roots can still function, and the tree will continue to live – if forevermore lying down. It was even a finalist in this year's Tree of the Year competition.
To find woodland sites near you, visit your local wildlife trust website (visit www.wildlifetrusts.org to find it) and the Woodland Trust at www.woodlandtrust.org.uk
Perhaps the best-known woodland in Cheshire is Delamere Forest, which is actually the largest area of woodland in the country, covering 972 hectares (2,400 acres). You might think of Delamere as a pine forestry plantation, and indeed it is managed by the Forestry Commission (England) but in fact it contains a good mixture of deciduous and evergreen trees, has a rich history, and is a great place to go and see autumn trees in colour.
Delamere means 'forest of the lakes' and it was once part of Mara and Mondrem – massive hunting forests created by the Norman earls of the 11th century. They once covered 60 square miles! Nowadays, the forest is a popular place to go walking, cycling and horse riding. Visit www.forestry.gov.uk/delamere
Those up for a hike should head for Alderley Edge – the wooded escarpment is brilliant for walking and at its highest point offers amazing views across the Cheshire plain and the Peak District, not to mention Macclesfield Forest, all of which looking stunning in autumn.
More formal places to see autumn colour, and to discover the delights of some not-necessarily-quite-so-native trees is at arboretums, specially planted 'tree gardens'. Lovell Quinta Arboretum, at Swettenham, covers 16 hectares and has a stunning collection of trees, including an avenue of red twigged limes and more than 75 species of oak. It is jointly owned and managed by the Tatton Garden Society and the Cheshire Wildlife Trust. Visit www.tattongardensociety.org.uk.
Jodrell Bank is obviously famous for its Lovell telescope, but did you know there is also an arboretum there? The Granade Arboretum was planted in 1971, and the Planet Path through the trees is designed to take you on a walk that reflects and explains the size of the solar system and earth's tiny place in it. This is fascinating in itself, but of real interest in the autumn is the amazing display of colours, especially from the collection of crab apple trees and maples. Visit www.jodrellbank.net
The Shropshire Hills are home to important woodlands – many are ancient or contain remnants of ancient woods. This is a lovely area for a drive, a bike ride or a walk and you'd be hard pushed to find somewhere that doesn't offer views of lovely autumn colour.
The National Trust-owned Carding Mill Valley is a lovely spot for a drive, where you can see the trees changing colour – and it's not just the trees, either: the hillsides are covered with heather and bracken which provide an amazing display through late summer and autumn. It's a great place to stop for a picnic or go for a short stroll. Until the end of September you can get a shuttle bus that takes you around the scenic areas; an even better way to enjoy the scenery – visit www.shropshirehillsaonb.co.uk. Or thread your way up the Ironbrige gorge – the birthplace of the industrial revolution might not sound like the sort of place to go and see trees and nature in all its glory, but the wooded gorge and Benthall Edge are spectacular in autumn.
More energetic explorers can head for the wooded limestone escarpment of Wenlock Edge, where, as well as beautiful trees, you'll find far-reaching views, an abundance of wildlife, and the remains of old quarries and limekilns. The wooded slopes of the Wrekin are threaded with paths where you can explore the woodland, see the beauty of the trees and discover an Iron Age hillfort at the top.
Rectory Wood and Field, tucked between Church Stretton and the Long Mynd, has woodland walks as part of a landscape influenced in its design by Humphry Repton. Several paths explore this ancient woodland where you can discover a wide range of species. Clun Valley, meanwhile has rich woodlands on either side – best known are Bury Ditches and Clunton Coppice, which is a Shropshire Wildlife Trust reserve.
For those with children who aren't likely to be impressed with colour-changing leaves, Arley Arboretum and Gardens at Bewdley offer a great compromise. While you're admiring the display of specialist trees and colour on the way, the kids can do the Dinosaur Trail and find their way through the maze of hornbeam trees. Visit www.arleyarboretum.co.uk
Walcot Woods near Bishops Castle is part of Lord Clive of India's orignal Walcot Estate and is now managed by the National Trust. The oak trees here are veterans – more than 400 years old, and Walcot Hall hotel has an arboretum containing a variety of trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants that is open to the public daily. Visit www.walcothall.com.
Wales, of course, is full of spectacular woodland of a variety of types, from the upland woods of north Wales to the densely wooded valley bottoms of mid Wales. The difficulty here is deciding which ones to visit!
Native oakwoods are found in the upland areas of the north and west, such as Coed Hafod y Llyn in Snowdonia. Here you'll find lush ferns, mosses, liverworts and lichens. These woods are usually mainly sessile oak, but also home to birch, hazel, rowan, holly and hawthorn, all offering wonderful colour in autumn. These woods have plenty of history too – although they may feel ancient and untouched by man's hand, many are actually coppice woods, shaped by people over the centuries as they used the wood to make charcoal.
You don't even have to get out of your car to witness beautiful displays of autumn colour in Wales. Take a drive up the Conwy Valley to Llyn Crafnant (described as 'one of the most breathtaking views in all Snowdonia') and see double the colour as the hillsides and trees are reflected in the lake, or simply wind your way up the Sychnant Pass for stunning views.
The Dyfi Valley in mid Wales is famous for its green mountains – which turn a variety of shades in autumn. Take a drive along the valley road and admire the colours of the Dyfi Forest. A gentle walk stopping for a picnic among the beech trees of Tan y Coed near Machynlleth is a delight, or stop by the river at Foel Friog and admire the colours of the oak trees. Or take a drive into the Berwyn mountains to see Pistyll Rhaeadr and not only do you get views of an amazing waterfall - the densely wooded gorge is a riot of colour in autumn too.
Marl Hall Woods, near Llandudno Junction, is a Woodland Trust reserve made up of ancient semi-natural woodland with dazzling autumn colour. You also get great views across the Conwy Valley and there's lots of historical interest here too. On the Menai Strait, Nantporth, a North Wales Wildlife Trust reserve, offers the best of both worlds, being both coastal and woodland.
Dolforwyn Woods, at Abermule in Powys, is a mixed woodland bursting with wildlife that is looked after by the Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust. There has been woodland on this hillside for centuries and although many native trees were cut down to make way for plantation, today there's an interesting mixed woodland supporting a range of plants, lots of fascinating fungi and spectacular colours. There are also dormice here!
Also well worth visiting are some of the National Trust estates, which have extensive parkland with ancient trees and areas of woodland. The estate at Chirk Castle near Wrexham is just one example, full of ancient trees, 70 per cent of them oak, and with some unique veterans among them. Look out also for the the butter yellow colour of the lime tree avenue, the orange, yellow and white berries of the mountain ashes and the rich russet colours of the flowering cherries. On 21st October you can even do a guided walk with the head gardener, focusing on autumn colour. Further north, Bodnant Garden has more than 100 champion trees and the autumn colour in the recently opened Far End Garden is well worth seeing. Visit www.nationaltrust.org.uk.
Thousands of years of land management have dramatically reduced the UK's woodlands, but the Wildlife Trusts and the Woodland Trust, who look after lots of woodland nature reserves, are working to maintain these vital eco-systems sympathetically. A mix of coppicing, scrub-cutting, ride maintenance and non-intervention all help woodland wildlife to thrive, and you can help: volunteer for your local Wildlife Trust or the Woodland Trust and you could be involved in anything from taking part in traditional forest crafts to raising awareness about woodland animals.
Visit www.wildlifetrusts.org or www.woodlandtrust.org.uk
What makes trees leaves change colour? Why are some red and some orange?
Leaves contain three pigrments: chlorophyll (green), carotenoid (yellow, orange and brown) and anthocyanin (red) . As we all learnt at school, chlorophyll and sunlight are what cause photosynthesis to happen, which is how trees turn carbon dioxide and water into glucose – their food, basically – and oxygen, which is, of course, what makes our air breathable.
Chlorophyll and carotenoid are in leaf cells all the time during the growing season, but the chlorophyll covers the carotenoid – that's why summer leaves are green, not yellow or orange. Most anthocyanins, meanwhile, are produced only in autumn, and only by some trees, like maples, which is why their leaves go particularly red.
As autumn comes, trees need less food, and they respond to the decreasing amount of sunlight by producing less and less chlorophyll until they stop altogether. When that happens, the carotenoid already in the leaves starts to show and we get our annual display of yellows, oranges and browns.
Inspired to buy your own woodland, or maybe you've space to start one from scratch? It's not as difficult as you might think. Those of us who live in rural, wooded areas are used to seeing 'Woodlands for sale' (or 'Coedwig ar werth' in Wales) signs dotted about, and both woodlands.co.uk and the Woodland Trust can offer all sorts of help and advice for those looking to buy their own shady spot. In fact, the Woodland Trust deliberately plants young woodland and then puts it up for sale – visit www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/plant-trees/woodland-for-sale
If you already have land, and like the idea of planting trees on it, again, the Woodland Trust can help – their MOREwoods scheme provides financial and practical support for those who want to create new woodland. The trust invite anyone interested in planting trees to discuss their ideas with them, and if your project fits and you plant the trees, they'll contribute 60 per cent towards your project costs. They will visit you to discuss your ideas and check your land is suitable, and once you've agreed a planting/maintenance plan and finances they'll even sort and deliver your trees.
Why do it?
There are plenty of reasons for planting woodland - you can help wildlife flourish, create a secure supply of firewood for yourself and generations to come, help to keep our air breathable, and, of course, create somewhere beautiful and relaxing for people to visit.

Charleston, WV (AP) -- West Virginia Attorney General Darrell McGraw is warning consumers about businesses offering to help avoid foreclosures or to modify mortgages.
McGraw said Thursday consumers don't need to pay for such assistance and should be leery of any company that wants an advance fee to provide them.
Instead, McGraw advises contacting the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which provides the services for free.
Consumers can call HUD's national hotline at 1-888-995-hope or go to the agency's web site at www.hopenow.com.

reinhart starter question
I am doing the rye starter, form the reinhart whole grain baking book. On Sunday at 10 pm I started it up, now today (tuesday at 11 am I noticed it was a bubbly, at 3 m I decided to start phase two, since I was unsure if it really mattered.
So I was wondering, does the grain seed (starter?) need to go 5 days?
After 5 days you toss half of it and make a "mother" , which goes into a biga, which combines with a soaker and final ingredients, to make a loaf.
But if it is percoalting nicely on my counter for say 3 days is it usable? I happened to have used diastatic malt , so I added it. The stuff smells like when I used to make my own beer, before you hopped the wort and pitched yeast.
Last I am not sure where I saw on line references to Ascorbic Acid versus Pineapple Juice, then the suggestion to try it and see, but, the pineapple juice I have (Dole) has ascorbic acid in the ingredients list.

quote Saransh ComsoleI wouldn't call the 5850 the main competitor of the GTX 285. In fact I wouldn't even consider the two cards to be in the same league.lol, the main competitor not in line up. lol.
The 5850 costs about the same as the GTX 285 but that's because the GTX 285, IMO, is overpriced. It has never had, and still doesn't have good price/performance.
Plus, I don't have scores for a 5850.

Rated 5 out of 5�by rj Perfect for backyard beginner soccer player Was given as a birthday gift and was told it is perfect for our beginning soccer player. August 24, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5�by 49erfan Nice concept Great design but doesn't stay together with strong shots on goal. Thought about glue but could not break down when season is over. Almost drilled hole and install quick release pins. Upgraded to bigger goal. Age group 5-7 only getting bigger. August 16, 2016

Rated 5 out of 5�by RJ I love it This product really helped me. It's really easy to put together and stays together. And the fact that it folds for compact storage and transport really helps. May 30, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Rudo Is good Not sure why people complaint. Bigger than what I thought and easy to move...my kids love it. The only issue I can see is with the net, as it seems it will go very easeley. May 20, 2016

Rated 5 out of 5�by Dad Great Set up took about 20 minutes and most of it in setting up net and clips. My sons enjoyed it and does was its intended to do. Only issue I had was with u shaped stakes that hold base not being long enough to hold on soft ground after kicks to post but I improvised with longer nails. March 29, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5�by Vtmom Not very sturdy. Poor net design. The frame of this goal was easy to assemble but it keeps coming apart. It was difficult to attach the net to the frame. Poor design. My kids are using it, but they have to stop to reassemble often. Would not recommend. March 28, 2016
