Kruger and Coast is not a holiday - its an experience and adventure. If you are looking to relax this isn't the trip for you! But if you are looking to see amazing animals and experience culture on a budget then this would be a great option!

In 9 days, we saw so much. I wish I could have stayed longer. The trip was part safari, part culture, part beach. A compact sleeping bag, a very good portable charger, and having many layers of clothing will help you a lot, too!

Leopard print... statement-worthy, attention-grabbing, and ultra-feminine.
Get the look for less than $100 with this BB Dakota leopard print top.
For the designer pick, this 3.1 Phillip Lim leopard print skirt is super cute & it's definitely a fun skirt to add spice to any wardrobe full of bland basics and serious neutrals. I also love the idea of carrying the look over to home decor -- an animal print decorative pillow, maybe a fun picture frame, or even a chair or sofa...
How do you wear leopard print? Do you include animal print pieces in your home decor?

Going organic?
Organic produce can be expensive, and there's wide disagreement over whether it's worth the extra cost. If you want to maximize your organic budget, focus on the following "dirty dozen" foods, said to contain the most chemicals. The annually released list is compiled by the Environmental Working Group.
In 2013, the dozen includes apples, celery, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, grapes, peppers, imported nectarines, peaches, potatoes, spinach, strawberries, bell peppers, kale and collard greens and summer squash.
The "clean fifteen," includes the conventionally grown foods that carry the least amount of chemicals: asparagus, avocados, cabbage, cantaloupe, sweet corn, eggplant, grapefruit, kiwi, mangoes, mushrooms, onions, papaya, pineapple, frozen sweet peas and sweet potatoes.

Historical Traveler Reviews Radisson Hotel at Cross Keys Baltimore
Very impressed
We were very impressed with this hotel!
First of all, the hotel staff was extremely helpful and accomodating. The room was clean and nice. We loved the area of the hotel. It's located in a quiet residential area but only a few minutes drive to the inner harbor.
The parking was free which was big plus and the free shuttle service was GREAT! Every 3 hours the shuttle makes trips to the inner harbor to drop off and pick up guests (there's another one that goes to the area hospitals). A few times we asked the driver if he could take us to the harbor and pick us up at times that were more convenient for us and he did! This was very convenient because if you take your car to the harbor you have to deal with parking and it could get expensive.
We loved that the hotel is in its own little village with nice shopping right on location. On Tuesdays bet. 10:00 am and 2:00 pm they had a farmer's market. We bought so many fruits and vegetables and everything was DELICIOUS!
Decent enough.
I stayed at the Radisson (Cross Key) in Baltimore in July of 2005. I found the hotel to be pleasant enough. My room was clean. The beds were comfortable - and there were plenty of blankets and towels.
I do have a few "complaints" though. I specifically requested a non-smoking room. While walking to my "non-smoking" room, I noticed that some rooms clearly had non-smoking signs on them. When I reached my particular wing, I noticed that these non-smoking signs disappeared. My room seemed to be non-smoking. I didn't see ashtrays. I didn't smell smoke - but that was because of some kind of deodorizer that had been sprayed in there. My complaint is that the wing allowed smoking. Other than my first night, I could very distinctly smell cigarette smoke coming into my room. Maybe it was through the vents - I'm not sure. But when you wake up at 7:30 am and it smells like someone is smoking in the room with you, it's not pleasant. If you stay at this hotel, and you want a non-smoking room, you should request to be on the non-smoking "wing".
My only other complaints were relatively minor. One is that there were not a lot of TV channels. The other is that there was no continental breakfasts included with the hotel stay. I would have expected continental breakfast because this hotel is not cheap.
The hotel was very convenient to Inner Harbor. I could drive there in about 10 minutes. The hotel also has a free shuttle to Inner Harbor, but I did not use that service. I found parking in Inner Harbor for $10 a day as long as you arrived before 10:00 am.
Okay, but won't stay again.
The hotel is average, the junior suite was okay, not great. The hotel is renovating some rooms, but still has a long way to go. I loved the area though, off the beaten track on Falls Road, easy access to I83, Starbucks, Whole Foods and Smith & Hawken north on Falls Road in a renovated mill (very nice). Neat area to explore on foot if the weather was better, beautiful homes, however it was extremely humid with thunderstorms; not a good time for a leisurely stroll outside. We travel to Baltimore a lot due to son in college there. We tried this area after many times at Inner Harbor and Fells Point. Honestly....will go back to Inner Harbor next time! This just wasn't worth visiting again.
Not so bad
For the price that you pay it's not a bad hotel. It had everything I needed, including a gym. The bed was comfortable and room quite 'roomie'. The bathroom was clean, though the toilet tissue holder made it impossible to use (had to take the roll off myself).
On the downside...the cleaning service took a long time. I was gone all morning and most of the early afternoon and they still hadn't arrived. I was all set to hang out in my room when they knocked on the door. I couldn't be bothered.
Free parking was great, didn't use the shuttle service but could guess it'd be handy.
This is a decent hotel in a decent spot (love the ability to shop).
A good deal at Cross Keys
My wife and I stayed at the Radisson at Cross Keys for two nights, December 10 and 11, 2004. We found the staff to be extremely pleasant and welcoming. The two people at the front desk at check-in were very personable and helpful. Our room on the fourth floor was well-appointed and clean. The bedroom was spacious and nicely furnished. The bathroom was small, but that was a minor point. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant. The food was good, but was a little on the costly side. Cocktails can be especially costly -- $10.50 for an ordinary manhattan. Each time we encountered a hotel employee we were greeted and almost always asked if everything was all right. As we were leaving, everyone wished us well. Even the person sweeping the outside walkway wished us a safe trip home and said that she hoped we had a Merry Christmas. At the time I booked the room, the best rate I could get was $115 per night. Later, I went back to the Radisson website and noticed a senior citizens rate (for those 50 and older) for $85. I called the Radisson reservation number and they gave me the reduced rate. This reduced rate also promised an upgrade to the best room available at the time of check in. When I requested the upgrade, the desk clerk said she would be happy to check to see what was available and then gave me the choice of several rooms. Not knowing the difference in the rooms, she suggested a king room on the fourth floor. The free parking and shuttle service is a huge bonus. We will definitely stay here again.
Great Service, Locationa, and overall stay
My husband and I stayed at this hotel from 10/21-10/25 with our two children 4 and 2 months. The service was great all of the employees of the hotel were very helpful and attentive. They all seemed to want to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The maid service even asked us if there was anything extra she could do for us. The room was huge King bed with pull out sofa, mini bar, microwave and fridge. We also requested a crib which was delivered to our room within 5 min. of our arrival to our room. The location was great in an upscale and private community...when pulling into the grounds you would never even know a hotel was there. The shower drain was very slow but the maid had it fixed that same day. When initially turning on the air conditioning it was loud but the noise went away. The free parking garage was also a nice touch...this was a very quite and cozy hotel. Within 5-6min of downtown inner harbor and Towson both of which are great locations to find restraunts.
Overall we enjoyed our stay!
The location of our six night stay in Baltimore was determined by the site of conference that we were attending.
We felt very comfortable in this large city with the hotel being in a gated community with security.
The outdoor surroundings at the pool area were beautiful and the greenery was unexpected.
Our room was pleasant and comfortable.
High speed internet connection option at $5 per day was appreciated, and I although I had a bit of trouble connecting at first, the Wayport information card on the desk allowed me to call and get things up and running quickly.
We did have to ask for a guest directory and phone book as there wasn't either in the room when we arrived. These were provided quickly after our request.
We had a fridge in our room. The first one froze our food on the lowest setting, but was replaced quickly on request.
Our trip was on a tight budget, so we tried to utilize the fridge for groceries rather than eat too many meals in restaurants. I was surprised that there wasn't even a convenience store within walking distance to purchase groceries. In the end the $25 cab fare to a grocery store and additional $10 per night for the fridge likely offset any savings and actually cost us more. We'll remember that lesson for our next hotel stay!
The swimming area was very nice and you would never guess that you were in the middle of a city of millions of people. The lifeguards often seemed more involved in visiting with friends than watching the kids. The pool was also unheated. This was okay on a sweltering afternoon, but we didn't get as much use of the pool as we would have liked because often it was just too cold.
The shuttle service was appreciated. Depending on who the driver was, the level of service varied. One driver was more than willing to take you wherever you needed to go for a tip (we were taken to the train station after checkout) at our convenience. The other driver was more rigid (sticking to the set times and drop off point even if you were the only passengers) and seemed to view the trips as an inconvenience to him.
We were glad to have taken a taxi from the airport to the hotel -- the airport shuttle would have been more expensive and this hotel is one of the last drop offs, so it would have been a very long ride. A person would have to keep this in mind if they were returning to the airport this way as they would have to leave long before the time they needed to be on site.
The noise level from the hallway and adjacent room was too high. Maid service was in full swing on our floor by 6:30 am and it was difficult to sleep once they started. For two nights we had a noisy couple in the room next to us. Their noisy lovemaking at 11 pm, 3 am, and 6 am came through the wall so clearly that they may as well have been in our room. This was a disturbing thing to have to try to explain to my 7 year old child.
We didn't actually eat in the Crossroads Restaurant, so I can't comment on the menu and pricing. We did have room service our last morning and this worked well -- one omelete with an extra order of toast fed my daughter, my mother, and myself. In the restaurant we would have felt pressured to order thee separate meals even though we are all light eaters.
We avoided the shopping area because there was a lot of construction work taking place.
Desk staff were courteous and knowledgeable.
We did have to have our keys reactivated many times which was an annoyance because we made so many trips back and forth from the third floor to the lobby.
I expected the business services to be provided in a better manner. You can send a fax from the front desk, but in the end I chose not to because I would like to have been at a machine myself sending confidential information. If you have your own postage you can drop a letter off at the desk to be mailed . . . I don't normally travel with stamps! Courier service wasn't very customer friendly either -- I wanted to send something that didn't fit in the envelopes (you have to go down to the parking garage to get an envelope and then leave your package in a drop box there -- not a way that I would choose to send confidential information) and was told I'd have to look after figuring it out for myself. In the end I managed to find one of the stores willing to give me a small packing box.
The shuttle driver was taking us to the train station and I wanted to stop at the post office on the way to mail this package. He had another passenger that he was taking to work (I'm assuming someone who lives in the area or perhaps a long term hotel guest) and didn't have time. He did offer to take it to the post office and look after the mailing himself once he was done with his drop offs. We were on our way out of the city and needed to be rid of this box of conference material so that we could manage our luggage, so even though I felt a bit uncomfortable, I left the package with him.
Doug received a $40 tip -- this was to cover the trip to the train station, the cost of mailing, and the service of making the mailing arrangements. The package arrived safe and sound and I was relieved that Doug was true to his word. He was the friendly shuttle driver by the way!
I know from speaking with the organizers of our conference that the staff were friendly, helpful, and accommodated all of the "odd" requests that were made of them. The meals served were also very nice.
So -- my biggest complaint is the noise level, but I would go back because overall this was a good stay!
Some glitches, but a good stay.
My son and I stayed here for two nights this past week on a successful Priceline bid. While the hotel seems to have been renovated, I can't say our stay was without problems. However, I will say that there was no attitude problem with the staff; they were all eager to please and make things 'right'.
I had faxed the hotel a week prior to our stay to inform them that it would be an asthmatic teenage son and I. I therefore requested two beds and a non-smoking room for medical reasons. When we arrived at about 4pm, the clerk first wanted to give a king room. Then my son stepped up to the counter and I pointed out that I needed two beds and mentioned the fax. She said that there weren't any rooms with two beds available but we could have a cot and a queen bed. I said it would be fine as long as it was non-smoking. She immediately used a walkie talkie to tell maintenance to bring the bed up to the room. He was waiting at the door when I got there. I opened the door, peeked in and noticed that there were two beds in a very large room. Upon entering I noticed two things: there already was a cot in the room and there also were items that indicated the room was already occupied. I used the phone to call down and inform the desk; the clerk had me come downstairs. I went downstairs and received keys to another room. Upon entering the elevator again, I commented to one of the employees that I wasn't having a good start to my stay (in a very nice way). Apparently she was one of the managers and offered to buy us breakfast the next day for our trouble. I met my son up on the third floor and we headed down to the room. (It was a long way, but that's okay!). Again, the bed made it before we did! However, I noticed that there was no 'no smoking' indicator on the door and the corridor did have a smoke odor. So I again called downstairs from the room and explained that the room did not appear to be non-smoking. I was again told to come back to the desk. When I got there, a different person than the one I spoke to on the phone helped me. She explained that the entire (third) floor had been made non-smoking (due to so many requests) but all the door signs had not been changed. I had my doubts about that (due to the odor) but went right back to the room.
The hotel is attached to a cute little shopping area. I visited it while my son investigated dinner and relaxed. It turns out that the hotel has a free shuttle down to the Inner Harbor area and also to some local hospitals. We took the shuttle to the Inner Harbor for dinner. The driver indicated that there are some very unsafe areas in Baltimore, particularly on one side of Johns Hopkins Hospital. The Inner Harbor area had quite a few restaurants including a Hard Rock and a Cheesecake Factory. We ate at the Hard Rock; no problem getting in on a Thursday night without reservation (no wait). It was the typical Hard Rock food and noise. Took the hotel shuttle back (in to the Inner Harbor at 6:30 p.m. and return at 10:00 p.m., no choice in times). It is about a 20 minute drive depending on the traffic. The shuttle is a great convenience!
That night my son just could not get comfortable on that roll a way cot (looked like a twin bed) and said that springs were sticking in his back. We also could smell smoke in the corridor and through the ventilation (air conditioning). Also, our room was right next to the delivery alley in which a truck sat with his back up 'beepers' on for long enough to serve as a very early alarm clock. Neither of us got much sleep that night. So the next morning after breakfast I approached the front desk and relayed our adventure in their hotel thus far and said we really needed two real beds as the cot just doesn't do it for a 17 year old like it would for a 5 year old. They were quite nice about it. She even said that another person had called about the noise of the truck. I also said that we needed to get to the college and couldn't sit and wait for a room to open up. They were quite gracious and said that if we packed everything up they would move it to a new room while we were out. I crossed my fingers and off we went!
Upon our return I checked at the desk to find that we were now back up on the fourth floor. Before leaving the desk I confirmed that it was non-smoking. We held our breath as I opened the door to a very beautiful, spacious room with two queen beds. The view was horrid but we didn't care one bit.
All the rooms we saw had the same bathroom with a separate vanity area outside it. It's a marble counter (or marble-like) which is dark like granite. It had a coffee make and coffee (no tea). It was clean. All the rooms were clean. The first room was on the fourth floor in the corner and was very large with some special features added. The second room (one queen) was the smallest room but decorated the same. The third room was quite large with a cathedral ceiling and a very nice living room chair and ottoman with a reading light just behind it. The tv is interactive (movies, check out, rent cds ($$$)) and also got HBO and quite a few other stations. There is internet access in the room (with your own computer) for a fee.
The next morning I called up the bill and noticed that it was not correct. I called to the front desk and straightened it out.
Parking was abundant and free. They were renovating the elevators during our stay. This made for only one elevator but we never had an very long wait for it.
All in all, even though we had quite a few glitches in our stay, I did not leave as an unhappy customer. I didn't feel that the problems were due to being a Priceline guest. I felt that everyone sincerely wanted to help me and the attitude was gracious at all times.
Attitudes need adjusting
I came to Baltimore in hopes of combining some pleasure and some business. Someone had mentioned this hotel as someplace that is a little back from the inner city, some quaint shops and easy to get to. I was also looking at a facility to have a large business charity meeting.
I found the hotel to be in a nice location, the shops even though under construction to be nice and the shop people very friendly.
I wish I could say so about the hotel staff. They were rude and condescending. The room I had was nice but was lacking a few things, including a remote, and the bathroom light did not work. I called and asked for a replacement for the remote and for someone to install lightbulb.
The first remote came, but did not work because it had no batteries. The lightbulb never came. Nor did the second remote. ( Normally I could care about a remote, but I recently had surgery and walking was not the easiest for me Plus many of my clients are elderly). The breakfast I ordered never came, and to finsh the horrendous stay, when I tried to internet connection, it did not work - the front desk attendent said she knew nothing about the internet service and to call back later when someone else might help. I did and was told by another rude person said he could not help but to call the Waypoint people and hungup. Who are the Waypoint people and what is their number.
I have noticed this trent in Radisson's lately. Stay away from this one.
The manager was not available to speak with - so they lost the opportunity to discuss a large banquest with me and lost over $30,000.
Sorry Radisoon. -
Perfect hotel for Johns Hopkins
I had to spend some time in Baltimore to take my child to Johns Hopkins for major surgery. I cannot tell you how gracious the staff were and how comfortable and cheerful my accommodations were. This was an extremely stressful time for my family, and the hotel staff were so sensitive to our needs. We even had a complimentary shuttle to and from the children's center. I learned that the hotel will be undergoing renovations soon, which is nice. The location was perfect and very safe, with some great shops. Thank you, Radisson. I hope when we return it will be for leisure.

Today is my last full day at home. I have one more sleep in my dainty little twin daybed before I head back towards the big bad Baltimore.
I've been nominated for a few awards recently by some awesome bloggers… I haven't been keeping track of who nominated me but here's the two that I saw this week: Amy, Bethany, Abby, & Katie. These ladies are fabulous so go check them out. I think the award is making its rounds because I swear I don't have that many friends… this is kind of crazy to me. But anyways, if I'm missing anyone, I'm so sorry!! I've been crazy busy getting ready to go and am starting to lose track of everything that's going on!
Because I've already done this before, I'm just going to do the fun facts portion of it. My posts have been really serious and long lately and I'm ready to lighten the mood a bit with some random tidbits. Because who doesn't like learning about other bloggers and pretend you're real life friends? Oh, only me? Awkward… whatever. Here's my 11 facts! Hopefully I can come up with some things you don't know yet. I'm pretty transparent if you haven't noticed
- I have some pretty sweet tickets to see the presidential inauguration in DC on Monday (Hill, if you're reading this, here's your 5 seconds of fame). I'm spending the day in the city with my friend who visited a few months ago and we have up-close reserved spots for the event rather than fighting the crowds with the rest of the mid-atlantic and beyond. Thank god for friends with internships in high places. And thank god for friends who enjoy restaurants as much as I do. Which brings me to my next point…
- I'm a total foodie even though I'm the pickiest eater ever. I love going to all of the restaurants that were featured on TV shows like Cupcake wars, Man vs. Food, diners drive ins and dives… anything. If it your show is on TV, I will come. Maybe Cait will teach me her ways😉
- I haven't seen one of my friends in eight months because she was in China, and my other friend just left for Ireland for five months. They make up half of our "fab four freshman" swimmer group that we created freshman year and the four of us won't be reunited again until senior year fall. Too bad they're pretty much my only friends, too (kidding… kind of). The last time we were all together was sophomore year spring. Stupid study abroad requirement. My school is the only one in the country that requires every student to study abroad for a minimum of 3 weeks. Clearly I chose 3 weeks since I'm a homebody and a chem major. Two facts that make it difficult to go for much longer.
- I sprained my ankle a week before my high school state championships sophomore year in high school jumping up in the air to catch a volleyball during gym class. Ever since then, I've battled achilles tendonitis and weak ankles like it's my job, and even had foot surgery because of it. That was also the end of my coordinated sports career. Some people just aren't cut out for that stuff.
- My favorite part of living on my boat is hanging out in the dockhouse with the guys that work there, followed by dinner and reading a book while the sun sets every night and watching the yacht club races.
- People say I look like my mom. I don't see the resemblance.
- When I was younger, I would only eat ice creams that were chocolate-based. Last year, all of a sudden I decided I refused to eat anything but vanilla based ice cream (unless it's cake batter or chocolate marshmallow from Hodgies)
- I'm a workaholic. In the summer, my jobs at the beach and the country club total about 50 hours a week and I babysit for another 10-20 hours on weekend nights for summer families in Newport. I don't need to work, but I don't like having nothing to do, so I overcommit myself to the point of exhaustion (hence my crazy exercise schedule this vacation)
- I can't listen to music when I run. Ever. Even watching tv is hard. I use both to judge how far I've gone and it makes the time pass so much more slowly. I'd much rather just take in the environment I'm in, and the time flies by. But on that note, I can (and do) sing every word to call me maybe every time I hear it. With dance moves.
- I was in a fashion show once in Jamaica. It was awkward. Also, my mom isn't destined to be a photographer.
- As much as I love my family, I think I love them more from afar. I know, I'm a terrible daughter. I'm so used to living alone that even short vacations can feel long and I look forward to going back to school where I can follow my own schedule. That being said, there hasn't been a time yet where the tears haven't fallen when I say goodbye at the airport, even if I'm only gone for a couple of weeks.
Well, that was fun. And completely random. Can you tell I have summer on the mind? I'm not going to nominate anybody because I feel like everybody I know has already been nominated at least once, so just tell me some fun facts about you!
Have a great weekend!

Fireworks illegal in city limits
WOODINVILLE - As a reminder, a city ordinance has been in effect since June 21, 2000, banning the sale and discharge of all fireworks within the city of Woodinville. Even those considered to be "safe and sane" fireworks are illegal to either discharge or sell within the city.
The ban was a cooperative effort between the Woodinville City Council and Woodinville Fire & Life Safety District to put the discharge of fireworks into the hands of the professionals in an attempt to reduce the injuries and damage that fireworks cause every year.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in 1999 about 8,500 people were treated in hospital emergency rooms for injuries associated with fireworks.
Approximately 55 percent of the injuries were burns, and most of the injuries involved the hands, eyes and head. About 45 percent of the victims were under 15 years of age. If you have an emergency involving fireworks or want to report the illegal discharge of fireworks, call 911. Depending on the nature of the call, either the fire or police department will respond.
Have a safe and fun Fourth of July by attending Woodinville's Family Fireworks Celebration at JB Instant Lawn. Event brochures are available by calling Parks and Recreation (425) 398-9327.
Event information can be found on the city's website at www.ci.woodinville.wa.us.

text: Entrapment 4 April 2005 4 years ago So you're walking down the street minding your own business when a friendly bloke comes up to you asks you if you want to buy a dozen cartons of Benson & Hedges for some ridiculously cheap price. You say 'yes please', hand over the cash and take the cigs - then your new best friend pulls out a pair of shiny hand-cuffs and reads you your rights. Have you got a defence? The short answer is 'no' - entrapment is not a defence to any criminal act but that does not mean a conviction must follow. Is this scenario far-fetched - in Williams v DPP [1994] 98 Cr App R 209 the police left a van loaded with cartons of cigarettes unattended with the doors part open - the resulting convictions were upheld as the police had not incited or pressurised anyone into acting dishonestly. Some readers of this article will know all about test-purchase operations where under-cover officers will ask suspected street dealers for drugs - the officers will of course be 'wired for sound'. Other readers may be painfully aware of so-called 'participating informants' where a member of a group is also acting as a police informer. But the extent of under-cover police operations would surprise many. Rahman Ravelli solicitors alone have been involved in cases where an officer has pretended to be involved in the car-ringing business and even where an officer masqueraded as an under-cover contract killer for hire. In all these cases the operations must be properly authorised and that authorisation should be a primary area for enquiry following any arrests after such an operation. In Texiera de Castro v Portugal (1998) 28 EHRR 101 the applicant, who had no previous convictions, complained that his right to a fair trial (Article 6 of the Convention) had been breached when 2 men came to his house and asked to buy heroin. He did not have any heroin but took them to another house to buy the drugs whereupon the 2 men arrested him. He was convicted but the European Court agreed with him that the officers had acted as agents provocateurs, he had in other words been incited into committing an offence he would not have otherwise have committed. The House of Lords followed this approach in the leading case of R v Loosely; A.G.'s ref (No. 2 of 2000) [2002] 1 Cr. App. R 29. The Lords said that the proper approach to take where a state agent had lured a citizen into committing an offence was for the Court to stop the prosecution as an abuse of process. The Lords said that when a Court is considering the limits of acceptable police behaviour in a particular case a useful guide is to consider whether the police did no more than present the Defendant with an unexceptional opportunity to commit a crime. If the police officers went further than others might have done in a similar position then the police are to be regarded as artificially creating the crime. So, in a test-purchase case the first consideration is to require the authorities for the operation and then to consider whether the officer has, for example, persistently badgered the suspect until he relented - if so then it maybe unfair to try him for the offence of supply. On the other hand if an officer has infiltrated a group of known criminals and has called in the arrests just prior to a bank-robbery then the level of participation of the officer with the group may be more justified - but the question still remains of incitement - who proposed the robbery in the first place? It maybe that the balance of police behaviour does not support a submission that the offence was incited by the police - however just because a Defendant could have a fair trial does not mean it is fair to try him, i.e. if the police behaviour did not reach Texeira de Castro standards, i.e. of incitement, and so a Judge can't be persuaded that the Defendant cannot have a fair trial then he may still be persuaded to rule out the officer's evidence. For example where a known jewel handler offers stolen gems to an under-cover officer and the officer did not incite the offence, but it turns out that the arrest followed a culmination of months of over the top surveillance and unauthorised use of the under-cover officers. Then the argument would be that the Defendant's Article 8 rights (right to privacy) had been violated by an unlawful operation and though he could receive a fair trial it would not be fair to admit the evidence in the face of such serious violations; see R v Button [2005] EWCA Crim 516, 4th March 2005. It maybe that questions as to the lawfulness of a police operation depend upon the prosecution revealing to the Judge the suspicions which they held against the Defendant - this information the Crown my not want the defence to know and so a private Public Interest Immunity application takes place. The prosecution frequently fail to disclose even the category of material it wishes to keep secret and, as per last month's article, the leading case of R v H and C (where we represented H) underlines the fact that you can have a voice behind that closed door and you should demand to know at least what category of material is sought to be withheld so that you have an opportunity to address what little is revealed - those submissions may lead to greater disclosure which may in turn strengthen any application based on entrapment/Article 8.

They Say: Caffeine IV Drip OK'd for Exhausted Parentstoddler-times
OK, that's not EXACTLY what they say. But when I saw researchers are OKing coffee drinking because it will help stave off memory loss, I was thinking "hello caffeine drip, bye, bye mommy brain."
Because four years into this parenting thing, I'm still having trouble finishing my sentences, finding my car keys and . . . wait, where's the kid again?
As my daughter has grown, so has my caffeine dependency, which is now at a two-bottle a day threshold (diet Pepsi being my caffeinated drug of choice). Yes, I know that's bad . . . but we all have our vices, people. And as someone who has never smoked, drinks only socially and doesn't eat red meat, I'm entitled to one. So back off.
And hey, did you not notice the little headline up there? They just told parents everywhere that our dependency on caffeine is GOOD for us (at least a little good).
The study in question was conducted on mice (who have an amazing amount in common with parents . . . we also run through little mazes, only we call them playgrounds), and researchers found caffeine intake was linked directly to improved memory. The equivalent dosage (in human terms) to that given to the mice would be fourteen cups of tea, twenty sodas or two cups of very strong coffee.

In the last days of analogue film, a small outpost of resistance to the sweeping digital tide remains in the heart of London…The Cinema Obscura - the last bastion of scratchy warm, sometimes slightly blurry film.
Ray Coleman (Oengus Macnamara) has been the head projectionist at the cinema for most of his adult life – he sleeps with a reel in his hand and a cigarette in his mouth.
His protégé Ben Holland (Matt Noble) is an aspiring filmmaker, who dreams of seeing his masterpiece in all its celluloid glory, up on the big screen to a full house at The Obscura, although mostly he'd just love Sophie, the beautiful cinema usherette, to see it.
Sophie Roberts (Sian Breckin) is studying to be a fashion designer. For now she'd just like to work somewhere where she isn't treated as a) a child minder b) servant c) psychiatric nurse d) all 3 at once.
Then there's Marcus Ward (Steve North) – he's writing a sequel/prequel to 'The Terminator' featuring a surprising twist ("it's political"), but he'll tell you about that himself, at some point.
Their cosy analogue world is about to be shattered by the looming presence of new boss Toby Sayles, with his batch of shiny new digital projectors – all fully automated and requiring fewer staff. What will Ray, Ben, Sophie, Johnny and Marcus do? The future of cinema is in their hands…

LANCASTER - After last week's season-opening loss, West Ranch bounced back in a big way to defeat Lancaster High decisively Friday at Lancaster's Lou Bozigian Field.
Quarterback Connor Eichten posted a nearly perfect game to help the Wildcats win 52-30. He finished 17-of-20 for 361 yards and four touchdowns and had plenty of time to stand in the pocket all night long.
"When he's on, he's going to be hard to beat," said West Ranch head coach Sean O'Brien.
It was a different story than a week ago, when West Ranch fell 39-14 to Nordhoff.
"They say the biggest improvement happens between games one and two," O'Brien said.
Eichten was quick to give credit to his favorite target of the game, senior wide receiver Josh Guzman, who hauled in seven catches for 201 yards and two touchdowns.
"Josh was outstanding," Eichten said. "He was making plays all night long. All I was doing was throwing it up there and he was doing all the work."
One of those plays happened to be West Ranch's first offensive down of the game.
Guzman caught a 31-yard pass deep down the right sideline on a first down from the Wildcats' own 1-yard line.
The opening drive ended in a West Ranch field goal, but the offense managed to score touchdowns on its next five possessions.
Guzman's scoring receptions, which came off a deep pass in the first half and a short dump off in the second, were 60 and 50 yards respectively.
Lancaster (0-1) struggled to keep up with West Ranch (1-1), which seemed to move the ball at will.
After a 68-yard touchdown pass on a screen play from senior quarterback Kurt Hauser gave the Eagles a 7-3 lead in the first quarter, it looked like the Wildcats could have a battle on their hands.
As it turned out, that was the last time the Eagles led.
Hauser tallied 19 completions in 34 attempts for 280 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.
Most of Lancaster's scoring came on big plays that were often aided by missed tackles.
Lancaster only made one trip inside the red zone, which resulted in a Hauser 15-yard touchdown strike.
As West Ranch extended its lead, the gameplan quickly switched to the ground game, which was anchored by Ben Milleman.
The team's top rusher picked up 71 yards and two touchdowns on 10 carries.
Though happy with the offensive production, O'Brien said the defense still has its work cut out.
"We will not survive at this rate on defense," O'Brien said. "We have to get better."
The Wildcats will test their defense again next Friday when they host Eastside of Lancaster.

Best: Jennifer Hudson sings 'I Will Always Love You'
The pressure of trying to sing a song like "I Will Always Love You" is one thing. Add the pressure of saluting your childhood icon who has only passed away a day before in front of thousands of people? That's a mountain of pressure very few of us could handle (and one reason Chaka Kahn decided not to appear). After reports of having trouble keeping it together during rehearsals, Jennifer Hudson delivered a rendition to move even the coldest hearts. One Grammy icon's light fades as an Oscar winner's legend grows.

On Sunday the New York/New Jersey Red Bulls will play against the Columbus Crew in Carson, California with hopes of taking home their first ever MLS Cup.
Sunday's game will pin offense against defense. Columbus ranked second in the league with 50 goals this season. As far as defense is concerned, the Red Bulls have been lights out as of late. Frank Gaise noted in yesterday's Star-Ledger:
After a season in which the Red Bulls allowed 48 goals, third most in the league, they have surrendered just one in the postseason. They also have posted back-to-back road shutouts after giving up 28 goals in 15 road games during the regular season.Even still, the Red Bulls coach Juan Carlos Osorio is experimenting with the perfect lineup that will provide staunch opposition to the Crew's offensive assault. His approach to Sunday's game is nothing new, according to North Jersey.com:
His practices are just as intense, also egalitarian. Almost every spot is up for grabs and Osorio rotated the lineup accordingly, giving starts to 25 different players this season.For additional coverage, visit NJ.com's Red Bulls page or join the Red Bulls Forum.

"Our team was fired up and came out ready to play," said head coach Mike Buchanan. "I really wanted to work on our passing tonight."
Trinity (8-2) scored on its opening possession of the game with a 7-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Dakota Prochnow to Spencer Klehn to take an 8-0 lead.
Price finishes the season at 3-6.
On the drive, Prochnow went 5-for-8 for 48 yards, while Klehn caught four passes for 39 yards.
Klehn finished the game with 75 yards on six receptions.
Less than a minute later, Prochnow took an 11-yard scamper into the end zone to make the score 16-0.
The senior scored his third touchdown of the night on a 2-yard reception from Chris Buchanan to put the Knights ahead 22-0 with 5:23 to play in the first quarter.
Prochnow extended the lead to 30-0 with a 28-yard rushing touchdown on the Knights first possession of the second quarter.
He finished with four rushes for 55 yards, and 9-for-14 for 107 yards and four touchdowns total.
"At this point in the season I've built up a lot of confidence and chemistry with all of my receivers," Prochnow said.
Trinity's defense also played well during the game.
The Knights held Price starting quarterback Austin Mobley to 65 yards on 5-for-14 passing along with just 29 yards on 13 carries.
James Almeida recorded three sacks, while Andrew Spinello had one sack for the Knights.
"All we try to do is come out and attack the ball," Mike Buchanan said. "We call ourselves the pack of wolves."
Since a 29-20 loss to Mojave on Oct. 6, the Knights have rattled off four consecutive victories by a combined score of 211-54.
With the win, Trinity will meet Cornerstone Christian of Temecula in the quarterfinals Friday.
"We want to get to the final game and we are motivated to reach that goal," Mike Buchanan said.

RELATED: 2007 BF.com Awards | 2008 BF.C Awards
|Most Valuable Player(s) | WR James Rodgers, RB Jacquizz Rodgers
|Awarded to the player(s) who, if they were not on the field, the season would have turned out quite differently.
The Rodgers brothers have been nothing short of dynamic.
After combining for 3,333 all-purpose yards a year ago or 47% of the team's total the Texas duo amazingly improved on that total by 957 yards in 2009.
Junior James Rodgers finished with an astounding 2,328 all-purpose yards, a school record, while sophomore Jacquizz Rodgers chipped in with 1,902 total hashes for a combined total of 4,290 all-purpose yards or 65 percent of the team's total.
Both made All-American teams and were first team All-Pac-10 selections.
Honorable mention: QB Sean Canfield, LB Keaton Kristick, DT Stephen Paea
Last year's pick: DE Victor Butler and DE Slade Norris
|Most Improved Player | QB Sean Canfield
|Awarded to the player who improved the most from the previous season.
Even with history as a guiding light few could have foreseen the transformation of Sean Canfield from an okay quarterback to a first team All-Pac-10 player.
By completing a school record 67.9 percent of his passes Canfield guided the team to eight wins during a rebuilding year. A year that featured two walk ons and a true freshman on the offensive line.
Canfield completes his career in Corvallis fourth on the career passing touchdowns (38) list, fourth on the career passing yards (5975) list and fourth on the passing touchdowns in a season (21) list.
Honorable mention: - DT Brennan Olander
Last year's pick: WR Shane Morales
|Breakout Player of the Year | QB Sean Canfield
|Awarded to the player who made a huge impact and rewrote the record books.
It is hard to imagine a player who tossed 20 interceptions and 15 touchdowns in 20 games would throw 21 touchdowns and just seven interceptions in 13 games as a senior.
Canfield went from being just another Pac-10 quarterback to a National Football League draft pick. A large part of Oregon State's success can be firmly planted on the California native's left shoulder.
Honorable mention: WR James Rodgers
Last year's pick: RB Jacquizz Rodgers
|Best Surprise | WR Damola Adeniji
|Awarded to the player who made the most surprising positive impact on the field.
The Eugene native had just one catch heading into 2009. He had always performed well in spring and fall camp, but never received much playing time during games.
When Darrell Catchings went down with ankle and hand injuries early in the season, the door was opened and Adeniji confidently stepped through becoming one of Canfield's favorite targets.
The former walk on was the team's third leading receiver with 807 yards and five receiving touchdowns on 57 catches. Using his 6-foot-3 height and solid hands to his advantage Adeniji became known for his leaping grabs.
He was the lone bright spot in the Las Vegas Bowl hauling in a team high seven passes for a game high 102 yards and one touchdown.
Honorable mention: RB Jovan Stevenson, TE Joe Halahuni
Last year's pick: DT Stephen Paea
|Freshman of the Year | OT Michael Philipp
|Awarded to the top performing true or redshirt freshman.
Starting as a true freshman is quite an accomplishment in any conference - especially in the Pac-10 - and Philipp did a superb job at left tackle earning Freshman All-American honors.
He was the first true freshman to start on the Beaver offensive line since 1997.
Honorable mention: LB Devin Unga, LB Kevin Unga, S Jordan Poyer
Last year's pick: RB Jacquizz Rodgers
|Mr. Steady | DT Stephen Paea
|Awarded to the player who continually played at a high level and was instrumental in OSU's success.
In second season in the Pac-10 Paea wasn't going to surprise anyone. Every team's offensive line schemed against the burly defensive tackle as they were forced to use two and sometimes three players to block him.
It didn't matter though as Paea, a first team all-conference selection and Morris Trophy recipient, was one of the main keys in the Beavers run defense that allowed 114.4 yards per game.
The two-year starter and 2009 co-captain started all
12 games for the Beavers and was the leading tackler among the OSU down linemen
with 43 stops. Paea also was the team leader or co-leader in tackles for loss
(8.5), quarterback sacks (3) and fumbles forced (4).
Honorable mention: CB Tim Clark, LB Keaton Kristick, C Alex Linnenkohl
Last year's pick: OT Andy Levitre
|First-Time Starter of the Year | OG Grant Johnson
|Awarded to the player who starts for the first time in their career and performs better than expected.
Adeniji or Philipp probably deserve this spot, but in an effort to recognize the greatest amount of players, sophomore Grant Johnson gets the nod - and that's not just because we feel bad for him.
Johnson was a big part in allowing Quizz to top the 1,000 yard mark for the second consecutive year and Canfield to complete 67% of his passes.
The versatile walk-on struggled at times, but it could have been far worse.
Honorable mention: WR Damola Adeniji, OT Michael Philipp
Last year's pick: OT Mike Remmers
|Comeback Player of the Year | DT Brennan Olander
|Awarded to the player who was slowed down by an injury or sat out the previous season and came back strong.
The former wrestler has struggled with injuries during his time in Corvallis. He was slowed down with a knee injury during fall camp and wasn't fully healed until early October.
Against Arizona State he cracked the starting lineup making an instant impact. The fiery 6-foot-1, 276-pound beast was constantly in the backfield disrupting the Sun Devil ground game.
That trend continued the rest of the year as Olander and Paea complemented each other well. Olander would make a big play and then Paea would make a big play.
Despite playing in just 11 games Olander finished the season as the team's second leading tackler among Oregon State lineman (28) while his 8.0 tackles for loss was good for second on the team.
Honorable mention: WR Casey Kjos
Last year's pick: WR Sammie Stroughter
|Unsung Hero Award | WR Taylor Kavanaugh
|Awarded to the player who toiled in relative obscurity, but was a key contributor to OSU's success.
Sure, Kavanaugh didn't record a reception and fielded just 10 punts for 35 yards, but his rock solid job as the Beavers holder for the last several years is something that shouldn't be overlooked.
During his time as the team's holder the Oregon State kicker has been named a Pac-10 second team selection twice (Justin Kahut | 2009, Alexis Serna | 2007).
Although there was little chance of him ever seeing significant playing time Kavanaugh gave it his all everyday, every practice. As a result he has been the recipient of the team's Lunch Pail Award multiple times - one of the most coveted awards on the team.
Honorable mention: TE Brady Camp, TE Howard Croom, C Alex Linnenkohl
Last year's pick:
DT Pernell Booth
|Warrior Award | S Suaesi Tuimaunei
|Awarded to the player who battles through adversity and finishes the season strong.
After starting the first four games of the year Tuimaunei just wasn't cutting it at safety. Blown coverages, poor reads, bad tackling - you name it and Tuimaunei was doing it.
And so at Arizona State in early October Tuimaunei was removed from the starting lineup. The junior didn't complain and didn't sulk.
He was still getting plenty of time as a backup, but where he really started to shine was on special teams as a gunner delivering big hits while getting down the field quickly.
Tuimaunei ended the season as the second leading tackler on special teams and earned first team All-Pac-10 honors.
Honorable mention: - Latu Moala
Last year's pick: P Johnny Hekker
|Next Big Thing on Offense | TE Joe Halahuni
|Awarded to the offensive player who had a solid year in a secondary role, but looks poised to have a big impact next season.
To say that fans of the football team are excited about the prospects of Halahuni is a vast understatement. His blend of athleticism and punishing running style
As just a sophomore, and largely unused for much of the year, Halahuni caught 35 passes, the fourth most on the team, for 486 yards and three touchdowns. In the last seven games he snagged 27 passes for 359 yards and three touchdowns.
His nine catch performance at USC and his two 100 yard plus receiving games are school records for a tight end. Former Beaver great Joe Newton never topped the 100-yard receiving mark.
Honorable mention: WR Markus Wheaton, OT Michael Philipp
Last year's pick: RB Jeremy Francis
|Next Big Thing on Defense | S Lance Mitchell
|Awarded to the defensive player who had a solid year in a secondary role, but looks poised to have a big impact next season.
In his first year as a starter Mitchell became one of the secondary's top playmakers.
Mitchell led the team in pass breakups with seven, including a team high three interceptions, while tallying 72 tackles, good for third on the team.
With a year of experience to build from and his already great football instincts look for Mitchell to cause even more damage in 2010.
Honorable mention: CB James Dockery, S Cameron Collins
Last year's pick: LB Dwight Roberson
Think we missed on an award? Is there a player who should have been recognized? Have another award category and a player to name?
Talk about it on the BF.C message board.

Should you find Phuong Vietnamese Restaurant just a tad familiar, little explanation is necessary. Ownership includes the same folks who helped operate the Pho No. 1 restaurant inside the H&L Asian Market on Rivers Avenue in North Charleston.
If you go
What: Phuong Vietnamese RestaurantWhere: 5634 Rivers Ave., North CharlestonFor more: 718-3781 or www.phuong restaurant.com
Now, theyve just moved up the road a bit to open Phuong at the space formerly occupied by the short-lived but well-received Rauls Taqueria and Mexican Grill.
So rather than offering bowls of Rauls Guadalajara specialty stew, carne en su jugo, Phuong spoons out pho, Vietnamese noodle soup served with a little cilantro, green onions and bean sprouts tucked on the side.
The decor, brightly colored walls and an S-shaped bar, might be similar to Rauls, only the menu resembles Pho No. 1. And by similar, we mean that its pretty much identical.
Not that its a terrible thing, just perhaps a tad unoriginal, as admirers of Pho No. 1 should become Phuong fans, as well.
Vietnamese dishes such as egg noodle soup, rice vermicelli, rice dishes, fried and steamed, fried noodle selections and savory, sizzling pancakes called banh xeo dot the menu.
And unlike Pho No. 1, Phuong accepts credit cards.
So stock up on the com ga don ($8.45) or com vit ($10.99), a pair of steamed rice plates served with crispy fried chicken and roasted duck, respectively.
Or try a bowl of rice vermicelli, with a choice of sliced pork, beef or shrimp.
Tasty spring rolls accompanied with a tasty peanut hoisin dipping sauce appear on the menu, too, along with several variations of pho, either with slices of beef, brisket, meatballs or tripe.

Regular readers of this blog will have seen Ruth Roberts' post last week about The National Archives' research strategy. One current research priority is to find out more about The National Archives' users, particularly in online contexts.
I am one of the research students currently being sponsored by The National Archives, and I'm hoping that you can help me out with this work.
My research focuses on participatory culture in archives, specifically on the kinds of online contribution initiatives we've seen piloted by The National Archives over the last four or five years: wikis, social tagging and commenting, and collaborative online volunteering or 'crowdsourcing'. If you are a user of The National Archives' website (whether or not you visit The National Archives in person) and have an opinion about participatory archives, I'd be pleased to hear from you.
The research will be carried out in two parts. The first is a very brief online survey. It would really help me if readers of this blog and visitors to The National Archives' website could fill this in. There are just 7 simple tick box or yes/no questions, plus a couple of opportunities for you to submit comments. It should take you no more than a couple of minutes to complete.
You can complete the survey anonymously, but it also asks you to leave your name and a contact email address if you would be willing to take part in a follow-up interview.
Interview participants will be selected from those who complete the survey and who agree to be interviewed. The interview will take place either by telephone (or Skype), at a mutually agreed time, or in person at The National Archives. It should take around half an hour to an hour at most. I will discuss how the interview will be recorded, analysed, and used with potential participants before the interview takes place, but you would be free to withdraw from the research at any point, should you wish to do so.
I'd be particularly interested to hear from:
- Research users of The National Archives who carry out all or most of their research online. Perhaps you live a long way from London and use the DocumentsOnline service extensively? Or maybe you're an occasional visitor to Kew but carry out extensive background research using The National Archives' online records guidance in order to make the most of the rare opportunities you get to visit The National Archives in person?
- Research users of The National Archives who have discovered archives useful to their work via the contributions of other users. Perhaps you have stumbled across a reference to some really useful archives on Your Archives or even Wikipedia? Maybe you've used an index compiled by a volunteer transcription project (in print or on a website)?
- People who have contributed their knowledge or skills in order to enhance the accessibility of archives online. Maybe you've volunteered on an indexing or transcription project online, or contributed in the past to Your Archives? Or perhaps you've got your own website where you make information about archives available? You might have commented on The National Archives' flickr photostream or possibly at some point you've noticed a gap or a mistake on The National Archives' catalogue and reported the error.
Where can I find out more?
You can learn more about me and the research questions that I am exploring on my UCL webpage. If you have any questions, you can either leave them in the comments to this post or email me at alexandra DOT eveleigh DOT 09 AT ucl DOT ac DOT uk, or contact me via @ammeveleigh on twitter.
Thank you! I am really looking forward to reading your responses and speaking to some of The National Archives' online visitors.

Last year, when Barbara Cadranel, a Stratford resident and world-class harpsichordist, approached the Anti-Defamation League for assistance in standing up to her condominium association – which had demanded that she remove her mezuzah from the doorpost of her home – she couldn't have known that her case would ultimately affect Connecticut legislation.
A mezuzah is a small, unobtrusive object placed on the doorpost of a Jewish family's home in fulfillment of religious obligations. It is not a decorative choice or a choice of any kind for Jews and requiring its removal is tantamount to requiring a Jewish person to move.
After the condominium association turned down multiple respectful and private requests from Barbara, ADL and her legal counsel to leave the mezuzah in place – and threatened to fine her $50 per day if she did not acquiesce – Barbara and the ADL turned to the media. The story spread quickly across Connecticut, the United States and even the world, as Barbara received an outpouring of support from people in places as far away as Israel and Argentina. One person paying close attention was State Senate Majority Leader Martin Looney, who reached out to the ADL for our help in crafting legislation to ensure that others would not be subjected to the same treatment as Barbara. That legislation, which protects the rights of Connecticut residents to hang mezuzahs and other religiously prescribed objects on the door frames of condominiums, passed during the 2012 legislative sessions and was signed into law by Gov. Dannel Malloy.
Standing up for her right to post a mezuzah on her home was the beginning of a spiritual journey for Barbara, which ultimately led her to become a bat mitzvah for the first time at the age of 61. Because of the worldwide outpouring of support and extensive media coverage Barbara has received along the way, she has affectionately given herself the nickname "Mezuzah Lady."
In an effort to support the organization that fought so ardently to defend her, Barbara is hosting "Harpsichord Delight: A Benefit Concert for the Connecticut Anti-Defamation League," 3-4:30pm on Sunday, Sept. 29, in the Vine Auditorium at the JCC Greater New Haven, 360 Amity Road, Woodbridge. The concert is sponsored by Go Baroque of CT, and a free master class for ticketholders is also offered at noon in the Vine Auditorium.
Barbara and other musicians will perform works composed by Soler and Scarlatti, and a Bach concerto for two harpsichords. Tickets are $36, $18 for students. Tickets, program information and directions are available at http://gobaroqueofct.eventbrite.com or at the door.
"I am doubly gratified by this event," said Barbara. "Not only will this exciting program be my first formal concert in Connecticut since becoming a resident, but it is also a chance for me to give back to the Anti-Defamation League. Regional Director Gary Jones and his staff were crucial to combatting and overcoming the housing discrimination that I experienced, and I know their work goes on, on many fronts. These concert proceeds will help support their efforts into the future. I am honored to be a part of that."
"I admire Barbara Cadranel a great deal," said Jones. "She stood tall in the face of an unfair demand, and her perseverance and bravery served as the catalyst for ADL to work with the Legislature to ensure that no one else in Connecticut will be subject to this type of discrimination."
"Barbara's story demonstrates the wide range of impact ADL has in Connecticut," Jones continued. "ADL regularly supports individuals who are the victims of all kinds of discrimination and hate, and we get results. In addition, because of the relationships we have with our elected officials and other leaders in Connecticut, we are also often in a position to help ensure that we can prevent certain problems, like the denial of the right to hang a mezuzah, from happening again."
For more information about the concert, call 203-288-6500 x317.

Crews battle barn fire in Newton Township
NEWTON Crews from several southwest Trumbull County fire departments battled a Sunday afternoon barn fire off Hallock-Young Road, just east of state Route 534.
A 911 spokesman said they received calls around 3:45 p.m. of a structure fire in the 4200 block of Hallock-Young.
Crews from Newton Falls, Lordstown, Braceville and Milton fire departments were at the scene and quickly had the fire under control. No other building was damaged.
Damage estimates were unavailable.
Brush fires plague
parts of Trumbull, Pa.
SHENANGO TOWNSHIP, Pa. - Firefighters have been battling a brush fire in the township south of New Castle, Pa., since 2:30 p.m. Sunday.
Meanwhile, a large bush fire in Johnston was extinguished Saturday night by the Johnston Fire Department. It took a few hours to extinguish the flames.
According to Tribune Chronicle news partner WYTV 33 News, the Shenango Township Fire Department and the Pennsylvania Bureau of Forestry are heading up the efforts to extinguish the fire in the area of Boyd School Road and Snake Run Road. Several homes have been evacuated.
Pennsylvania Bureau of Forestry District Forester Gary Frank told WYTV reporters that two air tankers, capable of carrying 800 gallons of water, were assisting in the operation. Frank said high winds and low humidity intensified the situation.
Meeting to discuss walkway in Warren
WARREN Main Street Warren will hold a public meeting at 5 p.m. Wednesday in the National Fire and Water Repair Showroom, 145 W. Market St., Warren, to discuss the planned construction of a walkway from the downtown parking deck off Franklin Street to Courthouse Square.
Paul Clouser, owner of National Fire and Water Repair, said the organization is hosting the event to discuss the walkway, which will connect people who use the parking deck with the shopping area. The walkway will connect the parking deck through the David Grohl Alley through the National Fire and Water Repair building to Courthouse Square.
The public is invited to provide input on the project, which is scheduled for completion by mid-summer.
Clouser will have the walkway go through the eastern side of his building.
The parking lot is one block south of West Market Street. The walkway would be eight feet wide and brightly lit.
Dad, daughter kayaking on Lake Erie missing
SANDUSKY - Authorities along Lake Erie spent Sunday searching for a father and his 12-year-old daughter who were last seen in their kayaks the night before on Sandusky Bay.
Two empty kayaks were found floating Sunday morning in the bay, but there was no sign of the 30-year-old man and his daughter, the Erie County Sheriff's office said.
The pair did not have life jackets when they set out on the water early Saturday evening.
The sheriff's office said the two who were missing are Jonathan Francis, of Sandusky, and his daughter Viola Francis.
The man's girlfriend told The Blade newspaper in Toledo that they did not take the life jackets because it was just going to be a short trip.
"They were only going to be gone a few hours and they didn't come back," said Sheila McClain.
Erie County Sheriff Paul Sigsworth says the father and daughter were planning to paddle across the bay to a bridge and back.

WirelessDevNet.com Press Release
Verizon Wireless has expanded its newest technology – known as XLTE – to more North Carolina locations to boost 4G LTE network capacity and enhance high-speed services for customers. More than half of Verizon's 4G LTE 500-plus markets have been enhanced with XLTE, with more scheduled to be completed by the end of the year.
XLTE utilizes Verizon's AWS (Advanced Wireless Services) spectrum, which allows Verizon to deliver significantly increased capacity – at a minimum, doubling the capacity -- over its high-speed 4G LTE network. This means more customers in high-traffic locations can access the company's most advanced technology at the same time to send photos, download videos, surf the Internet and use other popular applications on their smartphones, tablets and other devices during times of peak usage.
"North Carolina customers are especially mobile and enthusiastic users of 4G LTE – sharing photos and video, downloading large files, and staying connected to enjoy a great wireless experience," said Jerry Fountain, Verizon regional president. "We have a clear competitive advantage with XLTE and expect to stay well ahead of demand to deliver these 4G LTE services better, faster and to even more customers."
XLTE technology is particularly effective in enhancing wireless network performance in settings with a concentrated group of high-data demand customers, such as densely-populated areas, rush hours, concert venues, sports arenas/stadiums and other large event locations.
First launched in December 2010, the Verizon 4G LTE network build is virtually complete, covering more than 500 markets nationwide and nearly 97 percent of the U.S. population. Verizon's XLTE deployment is a major part of the company's ongoing commitment to enhance network reliability and superiority. The company has invested more than $1.7 billion since 2000 to build and enhance its North Carolina wireless network, and consistently earns top rankings from independent consumer reporting and testing institutions for network quality and performance.
For more information, visit www.verizonwireless.com/lte.
About Verizon Wireless
Verizon Wireless operates the nation's largest and most reliable 4G LTE network. As the largest wireless company in the U.S., Verizon Wireless serves 103.3 million retail customers, including 97.3 million retail postpaid customers.

Hi all... We've just installed some used kitchen cabinets that will need painting - the dilemma of coarse is the color ...
I see many pictures of flat black cupboards in log homes that look relatively acceptable, but I'd rather find something that I like even more. I see that there are zillions of pictures on here but I have dialup - so cannot sift through them very efficiently. Anyone here have some pics on thier profile of painted cabinets and feel that they have found a really nice color ?? Our logs are light in color so i'd rather go darker but am open for anything...thanks in advance!!
Views: 20565
I have cherry color for my kitchen cabinets. They look really good and go well with the kitchen.
I agree with Eugene cherry cabinets look great I have them in my kitchen
