CHARLES TOWN - Players from Washington and Jefferson come together each summer for some American Legion baseball. This year, not only do the two schools collide, but the Wildcats roster features athletes from two of the top teams in the area.
"It's the same team as last year," coach Tim Carrol said, adding Charlie Barnholt and Garrett Everton joined the team this year.
Last year, most of the players took part in a Maryland-based league for junior-aged athletes. They have moved up to the senior division this season.
"I have high hopes. We're stepping up in competition," Carroll said.
From Washington comes ace closer Zac Burch, who also flashes some good leather at second base. He hit .312 during the high school season but really shined on the mound in late innings, using a killer curve to keep his ERA at 0.28.
Andy Disque from Jefferson adds another outstanding arm to the mound. His finished the high school season with a 0.55 ERA, striking out 25 while walking only five. In addition to his fastball, Disque throws both a curve and a slider, which he prefers to his other breaking ball.
"It bites pretty hard," Carroll said.
Ryan French comes off a tough junior season with the Patriots as he dropped his ERA from 2.06 his sophomore season to 0.58 this year.
The Wildcats add a number of other tough arms, each of whom are all pitching in the high 70s the majority of the time.
"We have a lot of battle-tested pitchers. We're gonna live with them," Carroll said with a laugh. "They all throw strikes and get ahead in the count."
However, the Wildcats will play nine-inning games, two more than in the players' high school seasons, so Carroll's not expecting any complete games unless someone's having a very good night.
Hitting-wise, the Wildcats pull some consistent batters from the high schools.
Everton was a leader at the plate for the Cougars, batting .418 with 14 RBI, while Bryan Bayliss joins the Wildcats after hitting .388 with the Patriots, including 19 RBI. Brody Pierce and Will Oliver both add averages over .300, hitting .349 and .318, respectively, during their seasons with Jefferson.
"I expect good things out of him," Carroll said.
Though there's no one power hitter on the Wildcats' roster, Carroll believes any one of his players could get a hold of the right pitch and take it deep on any given day. Where the Wildcats will excel is relying on speed and finesse.
"We played a lot of small ball (last year)," Carroll said. "Up and down the roster, we've got good team speed."
Last year, the Wildcats excelled in the junior league, earning a bid to the World Series. Carroll said he thinks the team gained a lot of confidence that the players will benefit from.
"That's not only from Legion but the high school experience," he said. "I'm sure they're going to feed off that."
Washington had a historic season, reaching the Class AAA state tournament, while Jefferson exceled this season, as well, losing in the sectional tournament.
With those deep runs in high school ball, the Wildcats are looking pretty seasoned.
"They look like they haven't missed a beat," Carroll said. "They're all ballplayers. They all want to play."
Carroll likes that while his Washington players were in Charleston playing, he knows his Jefferson ones were getting together and practicing on their own.
The transition from the Maryland league to a local one gives the players a little more pregame knowledge. They've faced many of the players on the local teams during high school ball and know how they play. It'll be the teams from other parts of the state that keep the Wildcats guessing at first.
"We know the area," Carroll said, adding they don't know much about teams from other areas. "I think the kids can hold their own against anyone."
The Wildcats were set to open their season today at Musselman as part of an opening-weekend doubleheader.
The first event was postponed due to wet grounds.

It's just inflammatory stuff.
This is why a lot of raw vegans soak or sprout their nuts and seeds as this is meant to neutralise a lot of the bad stuff. Obviously there are the PUFAs still to deal with but at least the digestive issues seem (for me at least) to be dealt with.

From the start, Richardson's David Gordon Green showed a gift for capturing life's unscripted moments (and casting nonprofessional actors). He's still doing it with Joe, even if the star, Nicolas Cage, has been around the Hollywood block a few times.
Cage plays the boss of a mostly African-American work crew peopled by real talkers (and played by real workers). He's got a hellhound on his trail — a few of them, actually; Joe doesn't shirk from its Texas gothic identity. And he's got a new friend (rising star Tye Sheridan, from Elkhart) with a horror-show drunk for a father.
Green shot Joe in the same Bastrop area where he made last year's Prince Avalanche. The film has dirt under its fingernails. It also has Cage, more engaged than usual and far away from the trappings of blockbuster moviemaking.
Joe will screen April 4 at 7 p.m. at the Angelika Dallas, 5321 E. Mockingbird Lane, and other venues. The Dallas International Film Festival runs through April 13 at the Angelika. Tickets and information at www.dallasfilm.org.

Q. I learned in a yoga class that rolling my stomach – somewhat like a belly dancer – cures constipation. Put "yoga exercises for constipation" in a computer browser, and you'll find additional exercises. Everyone I have ever shared this with says it works.
Constipation isn't a subject that comes up in a conversation ordinarily, so many folks don't know about this. I have taught folks in nursing homes to roll their stomachs. (A person who has had surgery needs to check with the doctor first.)
A. We appreciate your story. The references we found suggest that people with functional bowel disorders experiencing constipation as a symptom do turn to yoga along with other complementary therapies (BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, July 24, 2008). We could not find a well-controlled trial evaluating efficacy, so those who try this exercise will have to judge its benefits for themselves.
Q. I suffered from chronic angular cheilitis for years, along with digestive problems. Doctor after doctor dismissed any relationship between the two. I finally saw a nutritionist, who identified the problem as B vitamin malabsorption.
I started taking B vitamins sublingually (under the tongue), so they would be absorbed without relying on the GI tract. I have not had any cheilitis for more than a year and a half. She also recommended a gluten-free diet that has stopped my gastric symptoms.
After 20 years of bloating, gas and abdominal pain and countless doctors, one nutritionist knew the answers.
A. It rather sounds as though your nutritionist is treating you for celiac disease. In this autoimmune condition, the body reacts to gluten from wheat, barley or rye and attacks the small intestine. The resulting problems with absorption of nutrients can cause a wide range of problems, including those painful cracks at the corners of the mouth (angular cheilitis).
Doctors were once taught that celiac disease was an extremely rare disorder. We now know that it is far more common than they thought, but the diagnosis is still missed more often than it should be. You can learn more about dealing with celiac disease and other frequently missed diagnoses in our book "Top Screwups Doctors Make and How to Avoid Them." It is available at www.PeoplesPharmacy.com.
Q. I am a veterinarian. In my world, fairly high doses of EPA and DHA (components of fish oil) are recommended for osteoarthritis. For instance, a recommended dose for a 50-pound dog is 3,200 mg.
Is there any carryover to this concept in people with osteoarthritis? Are high doses of fish oil safe in people?
A. Fish oil has traditionally been recommended for the relief of joint pain, but it has been somewhat difficult to determine the effective dose. In a recent randomized trial, rheumatoid arthritis patients getting 5,500 mg of fish rich in EPA and DHA daily did better than those getting the placebo dose of 400 mg a day (Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases online, Sept. 30, 2013).
Previous studies have not identified many serious side effects of fish oil in people, but men who take high doses are at increased risk of prostate cancer (Journal of the National Cancer Institute, Aug. 7, 2013). We always appreciate the parallels between veterinary and human medicine, as well as the differences.

FRANKLIN — Frank Borelli had rushed to emergency rooms before, and he didn't want to have to do it again.
So Borelli, the principal at Delsea Regional High School, took advantage of an assembly Friday morning to remind students not to drink that night - prom night.
Sitting in the group was Tania Mokienko, a 17-year-old senior from a close- knit Franklinville family. Her date for the prom was Joe Berry, 18, of Franklinville, who graduated from Delsea. They had been dating for about two months.

The Aldwych in the Strand, London, was created in 1902 but had been mooted for the previous decade. When the plans were finally agreed a great swath of London's familiar streets was soon to disappear and along with them four of London's great Theatres were to disappear too. The new circular road scheme was named the Aldwych, after the old Wych Street which was one of the casualties of the new scheme. (Arthur Lloyd lived at 39 Wych Street for a short period in 1892.) Also created in the Aldwych scheme was the street now known as Kingsway which reaches all the way up from the Aldwych to Holborn.
Right - Wych Street, one of the casualties of the creation of the Aldwych in 1902 - Click for details.
The four Theatres which disappeared for the construction of the Aldwych were the Olympic Theatre in Wych Street and the Opera Comique in the Strand which were both closed in 1899; the Globe Theatre in Newcastle Street which closed in 1902; and the old Gaiety Theatre in the Strand which closed in June 1902, although the Gaiety would be rebuilt on a new prominent site at the head of the new Aldwych scheme and reopen in 1903. Two other new Theatres would also be constructed on the Aldwych to accompany the Gaiety; the Waldorf and Aldwych Theatres, which were built either side of the new Waldorf Hotel as one huge block in 1905.
There are some wonderful photographs of Wych Street and the surrounding area's demolition from a souvenir brochure published by the London County Council for the opening of Kingsway in 1905 here and here.
The Standard published an article on the proposed new road scheme in their 21st of September, 1892 edition called 'Vanishing London' which I have transcribed below. And the Daily News published a report, and a map, detailing the proposed scheme in their 17th of August 1900 edition which I have also transcribed below.
Vanishing London - On the proposed creation of what would become Kingsway
From The Standard, 21st of September, 1892
It might be worth the consideration of the London County Council when, or if, that august body is enabled to sweep away the foul and decaying congeries of streets which will have to be demolished for the purpose of forming the proposed new "Broadway" from Holborn to the Strand, whether the scheme of reconstruction can be made to include the provision of a new market. It is understood that by the adoption of either of the alternative plans for bringing the new thoroughfare into the Strand, by Newcastle-street, or by Wellington-street, to Waterloo Bridge, many hundreds, if not, several thousands, of poor tenants will be unhoused, and will have to be provided with dwellings at no great distance from their present habitations. Farringdon - the successor of the old Fleet Market, which was itself "a good step," by way of Portugal-street, Cursitor-street, across Fetter-lane - is extinct, and Clare Market is so little more than a name that it requires a very vivid imagination to picture the beautiful young wife of John Scott (she was formerly Bessie Surtees, and he was afterwards the great Lord Eldon) going from Clam Market to the lodging in Cursitor-street with a pint of sprats for supper, and calling on the way for a pot of porter.
Right - An early postcard showing Kingsway from Bush House.
The middle-aged rambler in Vanishing London looks in vain to-day for the brisk and busy Clare Market of his early youth, in the days when Johnson's famous a la mode beef house was the resort of those whose purse was light, but whose appetite was large. The taste for beef a la mode seems itself to have disappeared, though there are still two or three establishments in the City where clerks of limited income can secure the savoury indulgence of a fourpenny swear."
The original record of Clare Market is of somewhat aristocratic pretention. It took its name from William Holles, Baron Houghton, who, living in the parish of St. Clement Danes in 1617, became Earl of Clare in 1624. At a later date Howell wrote: "There is towards Drury-lane a new market called Clare Market; there is there a street and palace of the same names built by the Earl of Clare, who lives there in a princely manner, having a house and a street, and a market, both for flesh and fish, all bearing his name." The market became of considerable importance, the shambles were famous for meat, and on market days - Wednesdays and Saturdays - country butchers and higglers made the place lively, while the dealers in all kinds of wares were in full cry at their stalls and booths. Pelham Holles, Duke of Newcastle, the Minister of George II, succeeded to the property, and as ground landlord took the market toll. His house was at the corner of Great Queen-street, in Lincoln's-inn-fields, having an arched passage under its side, and was called Newcastle House. The Duke built a chapel for the butchers near Clare Market, at the corner of Lincoln's-inn-fields; but John Henley, an erratic preacher, who had for some time been holding forth in Newport Market, by Long-acre, came to Clare Market and set up what he called an oratory.
Of Newport Market scarcely a vestige now remains; the last of the slaughter-houses was converted into a night refuge for the destitute and a boys home, and they have long disappeared. "Orator Henley" as he came to be called, set up his irregular chapel and his "gilt tub," as Pope called his pulpit, actuated thereto by his rejection for the lectureship for the parish of Bloomsbury, and for a considerable tune his performances at Clare Market on Sundays and weekdays provided themes for the satirists. He might have been forgotten but for Pope having preserved him and his antics in the "Dunciad" in the passage beginning
"Embrowned with native bronze, lo! Henley stands,
And among the sleeping worthies-
"Henley lay inspired beside a sink.
The charge for admission to Henley's lectures was a shilling. The reputation of Clare Market was very considerable, and some people of distinction living in Great Queen-street, in the houses designed by Inigo Jones, as well as in some of the adjacent thoroughfares, were frequently to be seen there.
Those streets are now silent, even that one where the scanty vestiges of the market remain in half a dozen stalls, in front of the few shops not yet abandoned, where cheap haberdashery, green-grocery, and flabby common fish are exposed for sale. As though in mockery of the time when the jovial butchers played chimes upon their cleavers, and shouted for customers to buy their prime joints, or to inspect the delicately prepared tripe and neats' feet, for which Clare Market was famous, there are now only two or three places where stale and revolting-looking portions of the internal parts of animals, or foul-smelling remnants of inferior joints, cooked or uncooked, are offered to unwary customers.

At the doors of these decaying tenements which are not closed and untenented, gaunt, poverty-stricken women crouch, and children huddle. There are no vehicles passing through the streets. Men stand about at the door of the casual ward hard by, many of them with a furtive, deprecatory look, and bearing in their worn faces the marks of disappointment and hunger, and a sense of the general wrongness of things, but without interchanging more than the occasional muttered word or two expressive of weary, but patient waiting for the opening of the door. The dark shed-like building at an opposite corner is, as one may see, the parish soup kitchen, and two short streets off is the mission hall, where at the moment, this being time for the evening service, there is a sound of singing, which comes with pathetic suggestion, from a few voices of women and children; but there is scarcely any other sound. The men - many of them in the lowest stage of poverty - who hang about the streets, already look like evicted tenants. The district, where no prevailing industry seems to have survived, bears the signs of being doomed: the houses here and there have, something of the look of the old abodes that are still to be seen about Gough-square and Bolt-court -genteel houses with outside shutters, and the shabby remains of what was once acknowledged respectability - but they are like dwellings avoided because their inmates have been smitten by the plague. Indeed, this district of Clare Market suggests what a London neighbourhood must have been when each house-front had been marked with a cross, and the few surviving tenants crept out, silent and desponding, to breathe in greater freedom the already tainted air.
Yet, between thirty and forty years ago, four hundred sheep, and, according to season, from fifty to about two hundred bullocks were slaughtered weekly in Clare Market, while fish was sold in considerable quantities. In the first half of the last century the neighbourhood was still bright with the dramatic fame of the Dukes Theatre in Portugal-street. This theatre seems to have been the successor of the one founded at the Restoration under that name by Tom Killgrew, at what had been Gibbons Tennis Court in Vere-street, Clare Market. The company that played here afterwards removed to Drury Lane, and the Duke's company, which had been at the playhouse in Salisbury-court, Fleet-street, under Sir W. Davenant, came to a new theatre built in Portugal-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields. Here they stayed till the rebuilding of the theatre in Salisbury-court was completed, when they returned, under the management of Betterton and Charles Davenant, the second successor of Sir William, in 1695, Betterton, with Congreve, opened the house in Lincoln's-inn-fields, which had been rebuilt in the Tennis Court.
There seems to have been some confusion in the descriptive titles of the later theatres, for though the new structure is described as in the tennis court, it is doubtful whether it was in Vere-street. Certainly, the Lincon's-inn Theatre, the distinct records of which remain, was not in Vere-street, but not far off, in Portugal-street, at the back of the College of Surgeons, and, after being converted into a warehouse, was pulled down for the extension of the Museum of the College. To the original theatre in Vere-street Pepys was constantly paying visits, as we may see from his Diary. It was there that in 1660 an actress first appeared on the stage in England, and there Pepys first saw a woman act in public. There were frequent scuffles at the theatres, when some of the gentlemen among the audience sat on the stage, and many of the ladies were masked. Betterton was the leading actor at Portugal-street, and a little later Mrs Bracegirdle and Mr. Mountford - the latter the victim of a ruffian named Hill and the scoundrel duellist, Lord Mohun, who aided Hill in an attempt to carry off Mrs. Bracegirdle. He remained, when the attempt was frustrated, to waylay and slay the unfortunate actor, who had, without fault or design, roused the jealousy of the assassin. Mr. Congreve, who was an intimate friend and neighbour of Mrs. Bracegirdle in Essex-street, brought out three of his plays at the Portugal-street Theatre, and the latest proprietor of the place was Rich, who produced Gay's Beggar's Opera. Rich had been a harlequin, and introduced the spectacular drama at this theatre, as, until the success of Gay's piece, which ran for sixty nights, he could not compete with Drury-lane.
But there are no landmarks remaining of the playhouse which attracted to the neighbourbood of Clam Market so much distinguished company; nor is it easy, in these days, to persuade ourselves that the now sordid streets and confined, dingy houses were some of them once inhabited by members of the gay and brilliant company whose names have come down to us as a part of the history of society and of the world of art and letters.
Right - An early postcard showing Kingsway.
Mrs. Bracegirdle, it is said, went frequently into the market, where she distributed money among the poor unemployed basket-women; and her charming face and figure were familiar to the market people, who doted on her.
Of the streets which would be demolished, or intersected, by the new road, Little Queen-street would have the eastern side removed, and the new thoroughfare would intersect Great Queen-street, avoiding the houses that remain of those designed by Inigo Jones, who named the street after Henrietta Maria, Queen of Charles I. Sir Godfrey Kneller, the painter, and the famous Doctor Radcliffe, who frequented the Bull Head, in Clam Market, lived in Great Queen-street. Lord Herbert of Cherbury was an earlier inhabitant, and Hudson, to whom Sir Joshua Reynolds was apprenticed, a later. Sardinia-street, Vere-street, Stanhope-street, and a number of courts, the names of which, like Holles-street and Denzill-street, remind us of the families who were the holders of the property, will probably be considerably changed, if they are not practically demolished; in fact, it has been proposed that the street shall be symmetrical, not less than 100 feet wide, and that a circus of 200 feet diameter shall occupy the site of Sardinia-street and Vere-street. Denzill-street was so named by Gilbert Holles, Earl of Clare, after his uncle Denzill, Lord Holles, one of the five members whom Charles I vainly attempted to seize. An inscription on the south-west wall of the street formerly recorded the reason for the name having been given to the street as a memorial of the event. Sardinia-street is a modem name for what was Duke-street, where the Roman Catholic Chapel was burned down in the Gordon Riots of 1780. Nollekens, the sculptor, was baptized there, and there, in 1793, Fanny Burney, of whom Dr. Johnson had so high an opinion, was married to General d'Arblay, after having been nearly killed by the harassing formality of attending as one of the Maids of Honour to Queen Charlotte. It was opposite this Chapel that Franklin lodged when he was working for Watts, the printer, in Wild-court, Lincoln's-inn-fields.
The dirty, dreary, and ruinous yards and courts that lie behind the houses on the south side of Great Queen-street were built on the gardens of those fine houses, in two of which Kneller and Radcliffe lived. Radcliffe's garden had a wall, in which was a door leading into that of the old painter, who, possessing some choice flowers, did not care to see the bluff, and not over scrupulous doctor, walking amidst his bothers. He therefore intimated by a message that he desired to close the door, and received a reply that he might do anything with it but paint it, to which he retorted that he would take anything from his neighbour except physic.

Portugal-street was named when the old name of Portugal-row ceased to be given to the south side of what is now Lincoln's-inn-fields. It was known as Portugal-row in the time of Charles II., so that it was not named in compliment to his Queen. It was here, in fact, that "the quality" lived about the year 1668. Sir Charles Waldegrave, lady Fitzharding, Lady Diana Curzon, Lady Wentworth, Lord Cardigan, Lady Coventry, Judge Weld, Lady Davenant, widow of Sir William, and Wilmot Earl of Rochester "at the house next to the Dukes play-house in Portugal-row." Portugal-street had not been named at that time. Strype had proposed to call it Playhouse-street. Its associations of late years have been mostly those on the shady side of the law - Bankruptcy Court procedure - and before the alteration in the laws of imprisonment for debt it reeked of civil process, spunging-houses, extortion, and the exorbitant demands of Sheriffs' officers, who would extract the last guinea from a debtor under arrest before consigning him to the Fleet. There were several of these houses with barred windows, grimy doorways, and caged yards; and some of them in the immediate vicinity of Cursitor-street and Chancery-lane have survived, as awful examples, but are now likely to be removed.
But the question remains, whether a market will come within the scheme of the Council Broadway? The last remaining ghost of one in this neighbourhood is the gruesome and ruined area once known as Brook Market, reached by a narrow turning in Brook-street, Holborn - one great shed, the very walls of which are falling in powder, the red-tiled roof threatening to collapse, the space in which it stands a mere heap of the dust of bricks and the refuse of former stalls and sheds, not one of which remains. There are two or three mere huts, where commodities which there is nobody to buy are displayed in the windows; and a gaunt shed or shanty of tarred boards, used as a depot of soot by a sweep. A band of children run in and out of the gaps in the rough hoarding placed round the area of fallen brick and mortar for the purpose of keeping them out, and preventing their sudden extermination by the effect of their shrill shouts on the fabric of the shed. Yet the elderly lady who is sitting at the door of the soot store, contemplating the pavement, and waiting for the cataclysm which never comes, remembers when there were near by some excellent butchers' shops, and greengrocery, and a lively market.

The accompanying plans show the route taken by the new street, and the comprehensive character the improvement will assume. Beginning with the sweeping away of Holywell-street, and the inclusion of its site in the roadway of the Strand, the houses on the north side of the Strand, as far as Wellington-street, are to come down, and the new building line set back. At the same time, the land at the western end of St. Mary-leStrand will be thrown into the roadway, and St. Clement Danes will lose its churchyard for the public good. Wellington-street and the open space by St. Clements will be the two great points where the new street will (as seen by reference to the plan) receive and discharge its traffic east and west.
Above - The Original Gaiety Theatre, Strand, London, formerly the Strand Musick Hall - From 'The Sphere' 1950.
The property within the half-circle formed by the two arms is acquired by the Council, and, equally with that to be demolished for the thoroughfare itself, will be torn down and rebuilt. It is here, chiefly, that the interest centres. Within this space four theatres, a great newspaper office, enlarged not more than five years since, and that gaunt and dismal property called "New Inn" are to disappear.
The theatres are the Opera Comique, the Globe, the Olympic, and the Gaiety. Of these the only one with any pretensions to architectural qualities is the last-named, and it is to be rebuilt on a site allotted by the Council on the line of the new thoroughfare, as will also be the case with the "Morning Post" building. It will be noticed that the Lyceum Theatre will occupy a very striking position when these works are completed, fronting a broad, open space, with only a triangular plot (probably not to be built upon) facing it.

This western horn of the new street will afford ready communication with Waterloo-bridge, itself already too narrow for modern traffic, and certain to be inconveniently crowded when these works are completed, and when the Great Northern and Strand Electric Railway comes to its terminus close by.
The straight course of the new street, from Stanhope-street away through the purlieus of Clare Market to Little Queen-street, Holborn, cuts through a most degraded neighbourhood. Just here, on either side, wide areas of slum property have already been cleared under the provisions of the Housing of the Working Classes Act of 1890, at an estimated cost of £216,000, quite apart from the cost of the general improvement scheme. These clearances include the pulling down of Holles-street, Clare street, and the great insanitary area bounded by Stanhope-street, Stanhope-street, Drury-lane, Catherine-street, and White Hart and Blackmoor-streets.
Right - A Programme for 'The Acrobat' at the New Olympic Theatre, Wych Street, Strand in 1890 - Click to see entire Programme. The New Olypic Theatre was built by the respected Theatre Architect W. G. R Spraugue.
Within the last few weeks a new thoroughfare has been driven through a part of this now vacant land, forming a continuation in a north-easterly direction of York-street, Covent-garden, into Drury-lane, over the ground partly occupied by that loathsome burial-ground in Russell-court, whose horrors were so poignantly described by Dickens in "Bleak House." Through this criss-cross maze of mean streets, which it is difficult to realise was a fashionable neighbourhood in the time of Charles the Second, the route penetrates a vaguely charted region of dingy warehouses and frowzy yards, coming suddenly upon the extensive premises of the Metropolitan Electric Supply Company, to be removed and rebuilt on another site. Finally Little Queen-street is reached, through the buildings of the Army Clothing Factory fronting Great Queen-street. The line of Little Queen-street will be followed and widened, chiefly on the East side, where the furnitute dealers most do congregate. The Holborn Restaurant, on the other side of the street, will remain untouched. Beyond the Holborn to Strand improvement, the Southampton-row widening, to a junction with Theobalds-road, takes up the tale, at a cost of £162,000.
Above - The Aldwych road scheme which was constructed in 1902/1903 and the Gaiety Theatre which fronted it, here shown in 1934 with Stanley Lupino and Laddie Cliff in 'Sporting Love' which ran for 302 performances.
The total cost of these huge works will entirely throw into insignificance the improvement schemes previously undertaken. In its thirty-three years of existence the Metropolitan Board of Works expended £11,500,000 in various projects, or at the rate of £348,000 per annum; but this scheme alone involves a total cost of £4,442,400 for land to be acquired. We must not, however, be too hard upon the old Board, for these things would have been quite impossible in its day. Those times were not ripe for the betterment principle, of which a modification is applied to the property improved by the present scheme; nor was London then so well able to bear the cost of such extensive public works. Not that the cost will in the present case be great, according to the calculation of the County Council; for recoupment by building leases and sales of land is estimated to bring back the whole of those four millions and nearly a half, with the exception of £354,100. To this cost must be added the necessary expenditure for rehousing the working-classes dislodged in these demolition, a sum estimated at £300,000, thus bringing the net cost to the ratepayers to £774,100. For this sum London will obtain a sorely-needed main channel of communication between those two great east to west arteries of traffic, Holborn and the Strand, and may obtain, in the buildings to rise on either side of it, a street worthy of this Imperial city. But such things are yet upon the knees of the gods. With fine thoroughfares like Shaftesbury-avenue and Charing Cross-road lined with wretched old houses or vulgar, flaunting, modern ginshops, we must not speak with too sure a voice of the future of a street yet in themaking.
The above article was first published in The Daily News, 17 August 1900.
There are some wonderful photographs of Wych Street and the surrounding area's demolition from a souvenir brochure published by the London County Council for the opening of Kingsway in 1905 here and here.

Anyone use Swish DK? Is it soft? I hate buying yarn when I can't touch it! I bought their Telemark and it's so ROUGH!!!
I've used the Swish worsted and it's REALLY soft. I don't think the DK would be different.
I'm using Swish Worsted and it's very soft and yummy.
I can't imagine that the DK is much different.
The swish is a merino yarn which is much softer than regular wool like Telemark or Wool of the Andes.

Gold Island
Category page | Redirected from Gold Island
this wiki
|It's every singing monster's dream to one day vacation on the glorious Gold Island. Only the most experienced (and well-fed) among them ever get the opportunity to join in its resounding anthem, which celebrates monsters and music of all kinds!
Gold Island is available at level 4 for free, after purchasing Cold Island. Only Level 15 monsters from other islands may be placed on it.
Gold Island is also accessible at level 10 without any purchase in the Apple, Android and PC versions of the game.
Gold Island exists in a different dimension from the 'home' islands, which is what enables the monsters to inhabit both their own native island as well as Gold Island. A monster's species, and its name, is the same on both islands because it is the same monster. Selling a monster on any 'home' island will remove it from Gold Island as well. Any monsters boxed on their 'home' island, or Teleported to Shugabush Island, will also be removed from Gold Island.
Indigenous Monsters
Most monsters can be placed on Gold Island once they reach level 15. These include:
- Any Natural monster which is currently located on the Natural islands.
- The Shugabush, when it is located on Plant Island.
- The Wubbox, as detailed on its own page.
- The Seasonal Monsters.
- The Rare Monsters, Natural Rares, the Rare Wubbox and the Rare Seasonal Monsters.
The excluded monsters are:
- Ethereal monsters cannot be placed on Gold Island in any circumstances, regardless of whether they are on the Ethereal Island or one of the Natural islands.
- Monsters which are on the Shugabush Island cannot be placed on Gold Island. This includes the Shugabush and all of the Natural Monsters which can reside there as well. The important factor in this case is the monster's location, not its type. The specific message given by the game is: "Because of conflicts in the interdimensional magic of Shugabush Island, this monster cannot be placed on Gold Island."
- The Kayna cannot be placed on Gold Island because it cannot be fed whatsoever.
- Mythical monsters cannot be placed on Gold Island.
- Wublins cannot be placed on Gold Island because they cannot be fed whatsoever.
- Dipsters cannot be placed on Gold Island regardless of level.
Monsters which are in a Hotel Structure on their home island can also be placed on Gold Island; even if they are in the Hotel and inactive, they will be active and performing on Gold Island.
When monsters are placed, they remain on their 'home' island still generating coins, unless they are placed into a Wubbox, in which case they are permanently removed from both Gold Island and their home island. Monsters on Gold island do not generate coins on the island, nor do they require decorations or feeding. They just sing.
Monsters on this island can be muted and are able to have a changed volume as any other island.
Rocks and Trees
Main Article: Obstacles
There are no rocks and trees to clear on Gold Island.
The Gold Island song is available on iTunes for download. The melody of the Gold Island song is based on Johann Pachelbel's Canon in D. Going along with this theme, the main melody in the beginning section of the Gold Island song is in the key of D major. As the song progresses the song becomes E minor. It is played at a speed of 132 beats per minute.
Castle Upgrades
There is only one type of castle, the Crystal Castle, which has unlimited beds.
- Monsters do not earn Currency on Gold Island.
- The total amount of food needed to teleport all 32 unique teleportable to the Gold Island monsters would be an astounding 25,557,480 food, and the total amount of money would be 255,574,800, which is 10 times the food amount!
Special Occasions
As part of the Month of September (Anniversary Month), Gold Island had special party decorations.
- In 2014, It started on September 4th, 2014 and ended on October 6th. Originally it would be on September 30th but the new update was delayed and caused the celebration to end later.
- In 2015, it started on TBA 2015 and ended on TBA 2015.
- In 2016, it started on 1st? September 2016 and will end some time later...
- Some monsters have different timing from other monsters. e.g. Pompom and Hoola
- Gold Island was unlocked in the 1.1.0 update on November 27th 2012
- The Market cannot be accessed in Gold Island, meaning it cannot be decorated or have any structures on it.
- The Currency section of the market can be accessed by tapping the currency bars, but it isn't possible to navigate from there to the rest of the Market.
- Recently released monsters may be unable to be placed in the Gold Island for a while, probably because their music has not been integrated in the island's song yet.
- Golden depictions of the Fire Bush and the Dragoon Statue are noticeable as part of Gold Island.
- The Crystal Castle, like the Castle on the Shugabush Island, does not produce a bass sound.
- Once a Wubbox is removed from this island, the Wubbox in the waiting list goes back to the dormant stage of its life.
- There are no rewards for placing a Seasonal Monster or the Shugabush on Gold Island. However, placing Rare Monsters will only reward whatever its common counterpart reward is, and it will not reward anything if its common counterpart already had been placed in Gold Island before.

If you don't mind, umpire: the most contentious umpiring decisions of AFL Round 7
- From: Herald Sun
- May 13, 2013
WE PICK the biggest umpiring eyebrow-raisers of the weekend.
Umpiring is a tough job - getting tougher every year with more rule tweaks and interpretation changes - and most of the time the men in white/green/red do a great job. Sometimes, however, we need to examine some issues closer to get a clear explanation and help everyone's understanding of the game.
Each week we'll nominate the decisions, incidents and rule interpretations that demand a second look. Then we'll take on board your views and any nominations we've missed, and try to get a verdict from AFL House. See the AFL's responses to some of the most contentious Round 6 decisions below.
Have your say on these decisions and let us know any we missed by leaving a comment below or sending a note on Twitter or Facebook.
WHAT'S going worse – the goal review or Melbourne? Both suffered another ugly episode at the weekend with Taylor Walker calling on the former to undergo an overhaul. Jordan Lewis snapped a major on Saturday night and had a goal signalled, only for a review to be called for. After a lengthy delay the Hawks had the score cancelled and a behind was awarded.
Swan Dane Rampe leapt to touch the ball but appeared to make contact after it crossed the goal line. A breakdown in communication between the video umpire and the field umpires followed before the verdict was delivered: "Video inconclusive. Umpire's call.'' But the goal umpire was strangely overruled in favour of the boundary umpire, who believed the ball was touched. AFL football operations manager Mark Evans has already said he'll seek a please explain from the umpiring department over this one.
IF YOU made a list of things that irk fans, opposition players milking free kicks would be near the top. Heading the list would probably be the contentious "double goal". Luke Shuey combined those to the fury of the Brisbane Lions on Saturday when he went down far too easily after minimal contact from Mitch Golby. And Twitter simultaneously went into meltdown. There were calls for the Eagle to open his own acting academy and pundits calling him a "cat" – among the nicer references. The fact it put West Coast in front at the main break only added to the sting.
Luke Shuey, jack Darling, Scott Selwood Ashton hams. Need I go on? All been to the Leroy Jetta academy of diving #freegles #pathetic— Nic (@FeathertopDT) May 11, 2013
NORTH Melbourne has earned the jovial tag as the umpires' pet this year, and they were on the end of at least one fortunate decision on Saturday. When youngster Will Sierakowski dangerously cannoned into Liam Jones, fans of both sides conceded it would be the Bulldog's ball. But, bizarrely, the umpire waived play-on. The Roo lept and collided in mid-air with Jones in a marking contest and had his back to the ball. Fortunately, it mattered little as moments later Will Minson seized the footy from Ben Cunnington and goaled from the square. And, in a change of events, the Roos did lose the free kick count, a mega turnaround after finishing +23 against the Power last week.
USUALLY Campbell Brown is the one dishing out the hurt but there was a role reversal to start the second half yesterday. The small forward copped a push from Dan Nicholson and milked it a fair bit, drawing a free kick before the ball was even bounced in the third term. He nailed the set-shot to further deflate the hapless Demons. Was the free kick there? Maybe just. Was it dumb from Nicholson? Definitely.
The weekend passed without too much controversy over pushing in marking contests, but Patrick Dangerfield wasn't taking any chances. After edging out GWS opponent Tim Mohr to mark in the goalsquare, the Adelaide star turned and shaped to boot the ball into the top tier of Skoda Stadium. He was then hit by a thought - what if that was a free against me and I'm about to give away a 50m penalty? Caught in the confusion, Dangerfield simply dropped the ball on to the ground. When no whistle was heard, he soccered it though for a goal. Watch the bizarre incident below.
SHAUN Burgoyne thought he'd nailed one of his best goals on Saturday night, only to be cruelly denied despite the ball sailing through the big sticks. After a textbook centre clearance the Hawthorn speedster zipped away with the pill, steadied about 60m out and went bang. But, much to the crowd's displeasure, the ump pinged him for running too far. We haven't got the tape measure out but it seemed a very harsh call. Particularly given how rarely that rule is applied.

I grew up fishing and was taught to clean what I caught at a fairly young age. I'm not into fishing but now and then I am in a situation where I buy uncleaned fish and clean it myself. As a teenager I became an expert in opening raw clams. I recently passed that skill on to my daughter, who did have a little reaction to seeing the clam clamp down. I don't enjoy dropping the live lobsters into a pot of boiling water.
I've never killed or cleaned a mammal or bird. When my parents had good land for hunting in New Jersey they let a neighbor hunt on their land in return for 1/4 of a deer. Their vegetarian friends would eat venison because the animal had had a natural life. My youngest sister would not--my parents said she had a "bambi fit."

With loan on Riverview land repaid, CIC?breathes easier
June 21, 2013
EAST LIVERPOOL — The final step in purchase of the former Riverview Florist property has been made, with repayment of a loan to 1st National Community Bank by the city's Community Improvement......
I honestly cannot believe the deplorable condition the former Riverview Greenhouse is in. It is a complete disgrace not to mention a health hazard and potentially dangerous. This once elegant structure has fallen into complete ruin. EL should be so ashamed of itself!

Academic departments and programs
Posted on August 5, 2010
Today, after months of behind-the-scenes preparation, the Web Team moved all 48 academic websites into our new editor--one for every department and interdepartmental program.
In addition to these sites, all of the courses, majors and minors from the college catalog have been converted. This will simplify editing for departments and open up new options for news, photos and calendars.
Site visitors will find several immediate improvements, but the most important is that every course listing now includes a direct link to the course schedule and links to any Connections the course is a part of. For instance, take a look at BIO 112 or CONX 20012.
We've polished up most of it. Now the Registrar's Office is busy updating content for the opening of school, and the LIS computing liaisons are working with academic departments. We would be most grateful if you'd let us know if you see something we may have missed. Thank you.

The Employee Commuting Flexibility Act (ECFA) makes commuting in a company car noncompensable only if the use of the employer's vehicle is "for travel that is within the normal commuting area" of the business, explains Franczek Radelet associate Doug Hass on Wage and Hour Insights.
He notes that the U.S. Department of Labor has said compensation would be necessary if "the time involved is extraordinary." However, Hass says the problem is that neither the Fair Labor Standards Act nor ECFA offer any definitive guidance on what constitutes a "normal commuting area" or when the time is deemed "extraordinary." The Labor Department and courts haven't offered a rule of thumb either.
So what's a company to do? Hass advises companies to look to the regulations that apply to federal government employees.
He says federal rules require that if an employee is traveling directly from home to a "temporary duty location outside the limits of his or her official duty station, the time the employee would have spent in normal home to work travel shall be deducted from hours of work."
For example, Hass says a federal employee who travels from home to places within his or her duty station is not compensated, no matter how long it takes. Commuting outside those areas is compensable, once the normal commute is subtracted.

Sales of houses with four bedrooms or more are booming as families want big homes so they can stay put for years
The residential research department at Knight Frank recently asked 100 of the biggest house builders and developers working in the UK which type of housing they experienced the most demand for. The results, published last month, were that 82 per cent said they received moderate or high demand for four-bedroom houses and 70 per cent for five-bedroom homes.
In short, the demand is for big homes. After a few sluggish years, sales of houses with four bedrooms or more are booming again. In London, aspirational buyers are back, willing to take on eye-watering mortgages; elsewhere purchasers are still wary about

Several hours later Xander was still at the apartment with Shannon and Cole. Shannon had told him everything he could have every wanted to know about Kyle Frost and his habits. She gave him the addresses and numbers of his close contacts and what she did know of his daily activities before they separated. While she told him everything, she made dinner for the night and Xander was happy to stay and eat dinner with them. He found himself growing close to the mother and son set that he had come to find information from. Cole had a wicked sense of humor that often caught Xander off guard and had an inquisitive sense of curiosity that caused him to ask multitudes of questions that Xander tried to answer successfully. Shannon had a sense of ease and comfort about her that made anyone comfortable around her. She was open with her emotions and feelings but kept them in check and didn't let them get out of control. She obviously cared deeply for Cole and the feeling was returned from the young teen. Xander could easily see the bond the two had and almost envied it. He hadn't seen his mother in ages and he vowed to do so when he finished this case and spend some time with her. Once dinner was done, Xander remained in the kitchen to help Shannon with the dishes while Cole went to watch television in the family room. Xander glanced over his shoulder at Cole and smirked to himself before turning back to washing the dishes. Shannon was standing next to him, drying the dishes and putting them in their respectful places.
"Cole is a great kid. You must be proud of him," he said softly as he rinsed off a dish and handed it to Shannon.
"I am proud of him. More and more every single day. I'm terrified of what he may have turned into if I had stayed with Kyle. Kyle is like a fierce flame; burning bright but not giving off any warmth," she said and Xander looked over at her.
"'A fierce flame; burning bright but not giving off any warmth'? Are you a poet or something?" he asked with a smile and saw her blush slightly.
"No, not a poet. I wish I was but right now I'm a waitress. Pays well but I want something better for my boy," she replied and brushed away a stray strand of hair.
"You should be a poet; or a writer."
"A writer; I dreamed of being a famous writer when I was a little kid. I wrote these pathetic little stories that I dreamed up of and put them on paper. Jesus that seems so long ago now that I think back on it," she muttered and moved around the kitchen to put away the dishes and cups.
Xander pulled out the plug and watched the water swirl down the drain before emptying. Catching the towel that Shannon threw at him, he dried his hands and tossed the towel back onto the counter to his side. He followed Shannon into the family room and looked down at Cole to see that he was asleep on the couch.
"I'd hate to wake him but he'd be more comfortable on his bed," she whispered and reached for Cole's shoulder to wake him.
Xander caught her hand and shook his head before moving her aside and gently slid his arms under Cole's body to lift him into his arms. Cole murmured a few words but didn't wake as Xander gently nudged Cole's head to rest on his shoulder. He followed Shannon down the hallway and into the small room that was obviously Cole's as she pulled back the blankets on the bed and Xander gently lowered the boy into the bed. Stepping back, he watched as Shannon rid Cole of his shoes and sweatshirt before pulling the blanket up to cover the teen. He smiled slightly when Shannon gently dropped a kiss upon Cole's head and brushed her hand against his head. When she turned away, he stepped out of the way as Shannon cracked the door closed and motioned for him to go back towards the family room. The two of them walked silently into the room as Shannon found the television remote and turned off the television before sitting on the couch. Xander followed suit as Shannon folded her legs under her and let the silence wash over them.
"What are you going to do once you get Kyle?" Shannon asked softly as Xander turned to look at her.
"I'm not exactly going after Kyle himself. I just want to get the chip; the FBI will deal with Kyle once I'm done with my mission."
"I see," she replied and stared at something on the wall above the television. "Did you really mean what you said earlier?"
"I said a lot of things earlier. Refresh my memory," Xander said jokingly.
"That I should be a writer or poet."
"Yeah, I did. Everyone should chase their dreams and at least try to be what they dream of being. You seem to have a way with words, at least when you're talking, so do some writing and send it to a publisher. You wouldn't lose anything by doing it. And later you can say that you at least tried. Taking that first step is always the hardest."
"What did you used to do before you became an NSA agent? You don't seem the type of guy that chooses a life of law enforcement; you don't even seem to be a fan of it," she asked as she looked over his visible tattoos that adorned his arms.
"Believe me, it wasn't the first thing that I wanted to be when I was growing up. I was actually into extreme sports and some stuff that could be seen as both bad and good. One of my adventures worked out great until the NSA needed a new breed of agents for a specific case. I caught their attention so they recruited me and I've been in it ever since," he said and almost cringed at the memory of the incident.
"Recruited you? I get the feeling you didn't want to be recruited."
"No, not really. It was either work with them and they clear my record or I get sent to prison. I chose to work for them; I mean come on I get to blow things up for fun. It can't get any better than that," he smirked and was rewarded with a soft chuckle from Shannon.
"So you like to blow things up?"
"Hell yeah. What guy doesn't?" he said and glanced down at his watch. "I better be going. I need to find out what I'm going to do tomorrow with the information you told me."
"What's going to happen now?" she asked as she stood up with him and they walked into the kitchen to retrieve Xander's gun and darts.
"Well I'll try and get close to Frost and see if I can find out where he keeps the chip. I'll get the chip and any other information I can get and then give the chip to my boss and the information to the FBI. They'll take him down from there on," he said and pulled on his jacket.
"I know I probably shouldn't ask this of you Xander. But if something happens to me or if Kyle tried to come after Cole and me; can I count on you to help us? Nothing like jumping in front of a bullet for us or anything, but witness protection. Kyle is a powerful man and has connections everywhere. I fear he may come after Cole and me if he finds out that I sent you to him with everything I know."
Xander looked at Shannon and saw the faint hint of fear in her eyes at the though of what her ex-husband might do to her son. He knew he wasn't in any place to promise witness protection but he assumed that Gibbons was in a position to do so. He only didn't know if Gibbons would do it if he asked if of him.
"I can't promise anything Shannon but I can do this. If you have any fears that Frost may be coming after you and Cole then you can stay at my place downtown. It's a small loft that NSA agents use if they're in this city; it's not very lavish but it's a place to stay where no one knows about it. I'll talk to my boss about witness protection and see what he says; he's a pretty understanding guy," Xander assured and paused for a moment while he thought about Gibbons. "Correct that; he'll understand you, not me. He doesn't like me very much; he had me shot twice."
"Poor baby," she replied sarcastically and smiled.
"Yeah, yeah; your sarcasm is not appreciated. I'll come by tomorrow some time and we can finish talking."
"I'll be here any time after four o'clock."
Xander nodded and opened the front door to let himself out and into the darkened hallway of the apartment complex. Walking down the steps and out of the building, he turned to the left and started down the street. His car was parked a few blocks away and the walk gave him some valuable time to think over everything Shannon told him about her ex-husband. He seemed to have his hand in every big cash pot in the city; drugs, prostitution, cars, girls, valuable artifacts and paintings; the list seemed to go on and on. Xander just had to figure out which one would be the quickest and easiest way to get close to Frost without attracting attention. Pulling out his cell phone, he prepared a message to himself to remind him when he talked to Gibbons the next day. Gibbons could get a hold of anything he asked for and hopefully he could get a few things to help Xander a bit. Seeing his car up the street, he pulled out the remote and unlocked the doors before slipping in behind the steering wheel and starting up the car. Driving towards the loft that he occupied, he made a mental note to call Gibbons in the morning when he woke up.
"How is your mission going X?"
"It's going fine so far seeing how it's only the second day and I haven't left the loft yet. Yesterday I met with Shannon Frost and her son Cole at their apartment. Shannon provided me with a lot of information and I need to ask you some things about it," he said and rubbed a hand over his bald head.
"Go ahead, I'm listening."
"She's worried that Frost is going to come after her son and her, and she wants to know if we can do witness protection for them. I didn't say anything because I don't know and I figured that you would know," he said and paced the room slightly in front of the small screen.
"Are they in a dangerous position?"
"Once I start to get to work, they will be. The information she gave me is the kind that only a very close one would know. This Frost guy has his paws in everything illegal in this town and probably has several informants at his disposal. Once he finds out everything, he might guess that it was his ex and have some of his people go to finish the job even if he's in the FBI lockup. Shannon told me that his reach is far and wide and doesn't let anything stand in his way of what he wants or needs to do."
"Does he have his hands into the political circle?"
"He has about two hands in there and is stirring up some things. It's not a democracy over here in Los Angeles anymore. He isn't making a big shift in things, it's slight but everyone knows who's doing it even if they don't speak up."
"This could prove to be troublesome if he's tied to the political sector. Do you think we should put the ex-wife and son in protective custody and do witness protection?"
"I would wait till after the trial, if there is going to be one. They could be good witnesses and then put them in witness protection. I offered them the opportunity to stay in the flat here with me till everything calms down. No one knows where it is except NSA personnel and they would be safer here then at their apartment. I think it's logical," Xander said as he poured himself a cup of coffee.
"Good thinking X. Keep a close eye on them and make sure nothing happens to them over the next few days or however long you are there. Anything else?"
"Yeah, I need a way to get into Frost's circle of friends. He is into stolen artifacts and paintings; anything you could do to help me out a bit here?"
"Give me a day or two and I'll send you a special package," Gibbons muttered as Xander nodded.
"Good, I love getting packages from you. They always blow up and make big craters whenever I use them. I need false papers for whatever you have me doing or being and a good outline so I can act the part."
"I've been doing this much longer than you Xander; I don't need your reminders to help me do my job," Gibbons growled and Xander laughed.
"I'm just watching out for you Gibbs; you are getting a bit old."
"I can still take you on X."
Xander laughed and shut down the video screen as he picked out a few things from his suitcase. Picking up his coffee cup, he collected his shower things and headed for the shower to clean up before going to Shannon's.

What if we welcomed all our children not just with the knowledge of their possibility, but with the knowledge of our common humanity – with love? What could our world be like?
That is the question Open Arms hopes to answer through our programs. We believe that all babies deserve to be welcomed into the world with love and respect and look toward a world where this is possible. Mothers can do this best when they and their families feel safe and supported. And that's where we can help.
Open Arms serves about 200-300 women each year, offering an array of home visiting services according to the needs of women and their families. These services include prenatal support and parenting education in the last trimester of pregnancy, continuous emotional and physical support throughout labor and delivery, and postpartum assistance in the first six weeks after the baby is born. Our Outreach Doula program extends this care through the first two years of a child's life and adds additional services including early learning support. We also provide a support group for new mothers.

HOWELL – One person was killed and a police officer was injured in a Seattle Slew Drive fire on Sunday, a report said.
Howell police told the Asbury Park Press the blaze started around 10:30 a.m. in the Oak Hill trailer park, and the resident of the trailer died in the fire. APP.com also reported officer John Lopez was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation.
Several area-residents said they saw smoke coming from the trailer's windows. Neighbor Michael Spalluto said he met the man who lived in the home on a few occasions and he stayed to himself.
"He very rarely ever came outside," Spalluto said, noting the man lived in the house for more than a year with a dog.
The Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office would not immediately release details of the fire.
