NSW ecosystems on show - Rainforests
Rainforests are forests characterised by high rainfall, with definitions setting minimum normal annual rainfall between 1750-2000mm. A rainforest is typically divided into four main layers, each with different plants and animals adapted for life in that particular area: the emergent, canopy, understory, and forest floor layers.A total of 40 to 75% of all species on the world's habitats are indigenous to the rainforests. It has been estimated that many millions of species of plants, insects and microorganisms are still undiscovered. There are three types of rainforests in the Dorrigo area, sub-tropical rainforests, warm-temperate rainforests and cool-temperate rainforests.
Sub-tropical and warm temperate rainforest in North Eastern NSW
Beautiful subtropical and warm temperate rainforest, including booyong, crabapple and coachwood trees, surround much of the townships of Coffs Harbour and Dorrigo and the village of Cascade.
Sub-tropical rainforest is the most luxuriant type in Dorrigo National Park and is found under the most favourable habitat conditions. Characteristic features include the great variety of tree species, tall closely placed trees, a wealth of epiphytic ferns, orchids, numerous large vines and the frequency of trees with special growth forms such as palms, strangling figs, trees with large buttresses and trees with large simple or compound leaves.
Warm-temperate rainforest is also an important rainforest type and is found in Dorrigo and Cascade National Parks where coachwood and hoop pine form a dominant alliance. This rainforest type is particularly important in terms of area and occurs extensively on the northern plateau section and to a limited extent on the escarpment to the South. Its distribution appears to be determined by the poorer soils derived from the slated and siltstones of the moombil beds and the light granite soils derived from the Dorrigo Mountain complex. A plant typical of this area is the Hoop Pine (Araucaria cunninghamii).
Cool-temperate rainforest is restricted to a particular climatic regime which may only prevail over an increasingly limited area due to climate change. This ancient vegetation type features Antarctic Beech with a relatively sparse understory.

Aka: Demodicosis
Demodex are mites which are obligatory parasites and many times colonize the skin of mammals without any pathologic consecuence.
Demodex live for about 14 to 18 days.
If they have the chance to reproduce during that period, the number of the mites in the infected patient will increase.
The mite mainly eats keratinocytes and sebum.
Therefore they are preferently located in sebaceous areas, like the face, forehead, nose and ear.
They cannot survive outside the host, but transmision due to close contact is possible.
Although newborns can be infected due to contact with the mother, for instance, the prevalence of Demodex in children is low, due to the low production of sebum by their skin.
It is controversial if Demodex is per se responsible of some pathology in humans or if it is the inocent withness in the wrong battlefield.
Possible factors related with its pathgenicity are:
Possible pathogenic mechanisms for the disease are:
In humans, there mainly two types of Demodex:
D. brevis
The examination under polarized light reveals birrefringent claw-like projections from Demodex legs, as well as birrefringent intestinal concretions (J Cutan Pathol 2013;40:6-10).
Clinical diseases alleged to be related to Demodex infection:
Pityriasis folliculorum:
Acne rosacea
Demodicosis gravis
- The clinical presentation is like a severe acne rosacea
Seborrheic dermatitis
Pityriasis folliculorum:
Demodicosis gravis:
Main differentials
Scabiosis: Mite located in the epidermis. Birrefringent larger spines. External birrefringent scybala.

We don't know about you all but we're feeling awfully dramatic these days. The kids are back in school, summer is officially over, fall is slowly approaching and this means, to us at least, that our trusty Apple TV is more important than ever as the nights get cooler and indoor fun seems more soothing. So here's this week's pix picks and some comfort food for your soul.
Well, like it or not boys and girls, summer is officially over (although with global warming who knows what we can expect weather-wise) so let's try to go out on a sunny high note with some fun, funky selections for some frivolous summery viewing before the fleeting air turns chilly to our embrace. And with that happy thought, here are this week's mostly frothy selections.

The wait is over, folks. After a long summer with only a World Cup in Brazil to keep us entertained, the Premier League is BACK with a capital 'B'. And 'A', 'C' and 'K'.
And we've a corker to kick things off today, as the division's newest uber-boss Louis van Gaal makes his Prem debut with new side Manchester United.
Can Jose Mourinho's former mentor get off to a flying start in his first match at Old Trafford? Will he do something mental like bringing Ben Amos on halfway through the second half? And can United get off the mark in style, after last season's dreadful finish?
Garry Monk and his Swans side will be standing in United's way, so sit back and enjoy all the action right here, with us and our chief sports writer Oliver Holt, reporting from Old Trafford.
Here's a good place to start - team news.
And Louis van Gaal has wasted no time in freshening things up, handing TWO players their Manchester United debuts.
Step forward Tyler Blackett and Jesse Lingard, who fill in.
- Man Utd: De Gea, Jones, Smalling, Blackett, Lingard, Fletcher, Ander Herrera, Young, Mata, Hernandez, Rooney.
- Subs: Januzaj, Nani, Kagawa, Fellaini, Michael Keane, Amos, James.
- Swansea: Fabianski, Rangel, Amat, Williams, Taylor, Ki, Shelvey, Routledge, Sigurdsson, Dyer, Bony. Subs: Gomis, Tiendalli, Montero, Tremmel, Bartley, Richards, Sheehan.
- Referee: Mike Dean (Wirral)
Chelsea are going to win the Premier League, I think because of their signings.
Jose Mourinho has joined us now as an expert and we did a launch at the BT Tower.
Just having a candid conversation with him backstage, you don't have to say about how confident he is, you just get this real aura and this air and feeling of a guy totally happy with his squad.
And this was y'know six weeks before the start of the season and he revealed his business was pretty much done over buying new players.
A manager like Mourinho does not make that decision until he has got everything he needs.
You look at the teams around them and then you look at the signings he has made, principally Costa and Fabregas and they are two signings that move that side on.
At the same time Liverpool have lost their talisman essentially, Manchester United finished seventh and Manchester City in the Community Shield seemed a little bit off the pace. They have got financial restrictions on their signings which they haven't had in the past.
I just think it opens it up for Chelsea.
The only teams to defend a Premier league are Chelsea and Manchester United. It is bloody hard to do.
Jake Humphrey is the main host of BT Sport's Premier League coverage. This season BT Sport will show 38 Barclays Premier League matches exclusively live plus top games from the FA Cup, UEFA Europa League and live action from more top flight football leagues than any other UK TV provider.
The big news as far as the line-ups go is the introduction of Tyler Blackett and Jesse Lingard in Louis van Gaal's first ever starting league XI for Manchester United.
Lingard most fans will know from his impressive preseason showings in the last few years, but Tyler Blackett may not be quite so well known.
The 20-year-old has been on the books at United for some time, joining the club when he was just eight years old.
No doubt who the big draw is at Old Trafford today. Not new midfield signing, Ander Herrera, not even new skipper Wayne Rooney.
No, it is Louis Van Gaal who graces the front cover of the match day programme and Van Gaal who is engendering most of the optimism surrounding United's chances of improving on their dismal performance last season.
Much attention will be focussed on Van Gaal's system and how his back three performs, especially as injuries mean an unfamiliar role at wing-back for the promising Jesse Lingard.
United's home form was desperately uncertain last season so they will be keen to avoid any slip-ups today against a Swansea team for whom Wilfried Bony will once again be the main threat.
Finally, after a long summer with only a World Cup to keep football-lovers company, the Premier League is back underway.
Swansea kick us off at Old Trafford, looking to repeat their shock win against Manchester United in the FA Cup from last year.
And Jesse Lingard is already involved down the right, driving forward, but the ball goes out for a goal kick.
Swansea will have to be more careful at the back, giving the ball away carelessly and Rooney is nearly put through.
Manchester United are getting a feel for the ball in these opening minutes, with Garry Monk happy for his side to sit deep at present and pass out from the back when they win the ball back.
Oh and that's a great ball over the top for Routledge who runs in behind Jones, but his first touch lets him down...
Manchester United had their problems defensively last season and they're certainly depleted at the back already this season, with new faces expected before the end of the month.
It will be interesting to see how quickly they adapt to Van Gaal's three-at-the-back, with Evans now the man responsible for organising the back line.
Routledge will be aware of the gaps in between the centre backs and is already looking to play right off them in a bid to spin in behind...
Dyer had an opportunity to test United's new-look back line on the counter attack, but the move breaks down.
For a team as famed for their passing stats as Swansea are, they are struggling to keep the ball early on.
There's Sigurdsson with a long-range sighter, but De Gea is equal to it and gets down to his right to smother the ball.
Ander Herrera is looking neat and assured on the ball in these opening stages. Nearly 15 minutes into the game and he's yet to misplace a pass.
But Swansea appear to have settled slightly in the past five minutes and have a freekick in a dangerous area.
They've got plenty of height in the box and with Bony you never know... but hte young boy Blackett clears with a strong header away and it's United's turn to break.
We haven't seen much of Louis van Gaal on the touchline yet, but the Dutchman is no doubt paying close attention to the game, which has a nice ebb and flow about it right now.
Both teams are breaking and looking dangerous, but so far we haven't had a guilt-edged chance.
When it does come, what are the chances that Manchester United's new captain Wayne Rooney will be involved?
PIC: Louis van Gaal takes charge of his first @PremierLeague game. #MUFClive pic.twitter.com/MerDENO3Mi— Manchester United (@ManUtd) August 16, 2014
We're 20 minutes in and still no goals, what's going on? Fret not, as we reported, the opening weekend is not quite the goalfest that we always hope for.
At Old Trafford, the ball is out of play after a collision between Lingard and Neil Taylor. Lingard is up, but it's not clear if he'll be able to continue, with what looks like a jarred knee.
He certainly wants to carry on and it seems that he will.
And Lingard is unable to continue so he makes way after just 23 minutes.
Louis van Gaal doubles down on youth though, bringing on Januzaj with his new number 11 shirt, formerly worn by one Ryan Giggs.
There are some big boots to fill, but the young player certainly looked the part in flashes last season.
There it is, the magic spray, with the most important debut of the opening season.
Manchester United have a freekick just outside the box on the right.
Fabianski gets it away, but Nathan Dyer picks up the first yellow card of the game in trying to collect the rebound and United have another chance to whip the ball in.
Swansea clear but we're seeing some sustained pressure with a Rooney header comfortably saved by Swansea's Polish keeper.
Disaster for Manchester United as Swansea take the leader and it's none other than Ki Sung-yueng.
The Swansea number four picks up the ball just outside the United box and exploits a gap between United centre-backs to literally pass it into the corner of the goal.
De Gea gets down but is unable to reach the ball. Van Gaal looks perplexed...
United's back line has been the subject of fierce debate all summer. Some have questioned the personnel, while others are unsure about the system.
Swansea look much more confident since taking the lead, so it will be interesting to see how Louie van Gaal's men cope with the counter attacks.
There were some big spaces between the back three on the Ki goal, but at the other end the Red Devils continue to look dangerous.
Pre-match concerns about the vulnerability of United's defence have been borne out.
Swansea had already fashioned a couple of half chances before Ki put the visitors ahead. Going behind may not be the worst thing for United.
It may concentrate a few minds in the boardroom on the need for a couple more top class signings before the end of the transfer window.
How do United respond to going a goal down? Mata has another chance to knock a ball into the box but it's well cleared by Swansea.
Young also whips in a cross with Hernandez lurking at the far post, but the referee blows for a foul by the Mexican and Fabianski has a chance to clear his lines.
Swansea go long on the kick, they're certainly looking to exploit the space between the lines quickly with Bony and Routledge itching to test that back line.
Swansea are conceding a lot of free kicks and the biggest cheers from inside Old Trafford so far appear to be reserved for the magic spray. Good old magic spray!
Mata with another in-swinger, but Fabianski is comfortable in collecting it. After lifting the FA Cup with Arsenal last season, the Pole who was once derided as 'Flappyhandski' certainly looks the part so far today.
Although in truth, he's not had an awful lot to deal with as we near half-time.
Oh no, it's already started. We're only in the 43rd minute of Louis van Gaal's reign at Old Trafford, but that isn't stopping fans of rival teams from revelling in the current scoreline, which reads United 0-1 Swansea.
United fans may not want to look at the following tweet from Kop Magazine...
In the 'as it stands' table, they're currently bottom! Plenty of time to change that though.

Fresh Ideas
More than just a source for high-quality, locally produced foods, Ohio's farmers markets are fostering shoppers' culinary creativity.
Jenny Pavlasek
Not long ago, Stevens' comments might have sounded a little enthusiastic for something as simple as salad ingredients. But our increasingly green consumer conscience has made the farmers market the preferred grocery store of shoppers like her, who seek not only quality and freshness, but also items such as sunchokes and ramps that offer culinary adventures unlike those they've had before.
"I used to buy bags of iceberg and romaine at the grocery store before I tasted [the lettuces] at the market," she says. "I guess once you go fresh, you never go back."
Enthusiasm like Stevens' is fueling the growth of farmers markets across the state, says Patti Haden, a program assistant at the Ohio Department of Agriculture who coordinates marketing programs for Ohio's farmers markets. "Both farm and farmers markets are growing rapidly," she says, largely due to increased demand, as well as concerns over food safety and quality and economic issues. "Especially right now, I think people feel good about putting their dollars back into their local economy," she says.
That's good news for Adam Welly and Jaime Moore of the Wayward Seed Farm in Marysville. The couple has grown a business out of recognizing the potential for lesser-known produce like yellow mangel beets and parmex carrots in their area. "At first, it was chefs telling us 'I want this or I need that,'" says Moore, explaining that when they started their farm four years ago, few local farmers were growing the specialty produce that appeals to chefs. "At that time, people didn't have much beyond heirloom tomatoes."
Welly says word of mouth took Wayward from a "project" to a business in just three months. Now, in addition to its restaurant business, the farm serves two weekly farmers markets and more than 300 Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) customers who pick up their weekly supply of fresh fruits and vegetables at the farmers market or other drop-off points throughout the growing season. "In June, they'll get lots of greens, radishes, baby turnips, English peas and purple passion asparagus," says Moore.
Tom Wiandt, whose family business Killbuck Valley Mushrooms services the Wooster Farmers Market as well as the Shaker Square and Crocker Park markets in the Cleveland area, finds that free samples are also an effective way to get customers interested in his sometimes unusual-looking product. "We're doing 10 different mushrooms and under each category there are several different cultures. Some of these mushrooms are pink, blue, chartreuse," he says. "The real gourmets know the difference in texture, taste and the cultivated intricacies. But most people say 'I've never heard of it, but you're the mushroom man, so I'll trust you,' " he laughs. Wiandt says he usually partners with other farmers to create samples on site, giving customers a chance to try before they buy. "I'll get a handful of shallots from one producer, fresh garlic and greens from another and tell people where it all came from," he says.
Still, the impact of Ohio's farmers markets extends beyond selling specialty produce in affluent suburban and semi-rural areas. Last year, the North Union Farmers Market, a nonprofit community organization that operates and promotes six farmers markets (including the Shaker Square and Crocker Park markets) in the Cleveland area, opened its newest market on the urban main campus of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation (CCF).
"Fairfax, the neighborhood that the Clinic is in, is considered a 'food desert,'" explains CCF spokesperson Megan Pruce, referring to a term used to describe areas where healthy food options are sparse. Pruce says she estimates the market services up to 3,000 people each week, a mix of employees, patients and people from the surrounding community.
"I was really excited about it," says Paula Freeman-Vida, a clinical research nurse at the Clinic, who says she had not been a regular at farmers markets until the CCF's opened. "I like that things are local, and not being shipped from Peru, and the produce definitely lasts longer," she says. Freeman-Vida has already had a culinary "aha!" moment. "Last year I bought a cheese made from the milk of [pasture-raised] cows," she says. "It had a nutty flavor that was out of this world. It was a little bit more expensive, but like fine wine, you're paying for excellence."
The extra expense of specialty products is one criticism that markets must deal with. But Ohio's markets are taking steps to help make healthy food accessible to individuals of all income levels. Last December, the Ohio Department of Agriculture announced the Farmers' Market Access Project, which offers grants designed to make it easier for markets to accept food assistance benefits.
It's just another way the state's farmers markets are helping all Ohioans eat a more balanced — and possibly more creative — diet. And with each new participating farmer, the opportunities for better food choices and consumer education grow. Wayward Seed Farm has plans in the works for "preservation" classes to teach people to freeze, can, pickle and otherwise preserve their food so that they can continue to enjoy locally produced meals once the season is over.
"I know they're frozen, but the peas from our garden still taste pretty delicious in the winter," says Welly.

Angels closer Ernesto Frieri lost his groove during a rough stretch in late April. Then he found it in May. Now he's lost it again.
MORE FANTASY BASEBALL: Trade targets: Hitters | Pitchers | Sell-high guys
This time, he may have also lost his closer's job for good.
Frieri gave up a walk-off grand slam to Nick Swisher on Thursday to blow the Angels' 3-1 lead in the 10th inning. To be fair, Frieri was called upon to clean up Cam Bedrosian's bases-loaded mess.
But we can't overlook the fact that Mike Scioscia turned to Bedrosian, a rookie with a 10.13 ERA (14.29 now), for the extra-innings save chance when Frieri was still available. That may actually be worse than Frieri giving up the granny while blowing his third save of the season.
There have been other ominous signs about Frieri's role even before Thursday. After he was blasted for four runs in a comfortable, non-save situation last Saturday, Scioscia gave him the ol' vote of confidence. Then he brought in his "closer" to polish off a 9-2 lead Tuesday even after a rain delay. Frieri promptly gave up a run, by the way.
Long story short, Frieri is probably done as the Angels' closer. Expect an announcement from Scioscia soon, even if he gives Frieri another vote of confidence first. For what it's worth, the manager used Kevin Jepsen in the eighth inning of Thursday's 1-1 game and then Joe Smith in the ninth.
That's most likely the late-inning order we'll see if the Angels make a switch with Smith, who's picked up five saves this year, the slight favorite to close. The hard-throwing Jepsen is a dark horse for the long-term job, though.
Grilli out?: Pirates manager Clint Hurdle hinted Thursday that the struggling Jason Grilli's status as closer will be evaluated. This comes on the heels of Grilli giving up a solo homer to Devin Mesoraco in the ninth inning Thursday to blow a save against the Reds. Hopefully fantasy owners heeded our advice and kept Mark Melancon, who would take over the ninth if Pittsburgh makes a move. Melancon was lights-out as the closer when Grilli was on the DL and could run away with the job like he did last season.

Then why don't you try it to see if it does anything.
Attachment 4786
Still the same. I have used the DMToolbox and have installed the GC games to my hdd. This is how my hdd looks atm
Just tried to do a syscheck but it frozeQuote:
ok. That isn't correct.
You should still have those in the /games directory. so if you did not delete or rename your old games directory, you are still trying to run with the same flawed files.
The files should look like:
Hi, I can't get USB loader to recognize the gamecube or wii game from USB
It says I should use WAD Manager to install the Dios Mios wad. When WAD manager asks which IOS to use Idk which to use. When I press Home in the homebrew channel, it says IOS58 v24.32 (1.1.2). I installed HBC through ModMii, and that's what I got. However in USB Loader GX, I think it says IOS249 in the settings..
after getting the DM wad installed, I still don't think how to get USB loader GX working. The only way I found to install it was to use the usb loader gx installer v1.7. Then, I picked the r1213 update and extracted to see 3 folders for 3 different IOS versions. Then I just take the boot.dol from the proper folder (which version? 222, 249, 250) and replace the boot.dol from the SD card's apps->usbloadergx folder that the installer put?
Anyways earlier today I installed the DM wad through multimodmanager and the disc menu stopped working and I couldn't play my discs, so I formatted through the wii (not smart but I got the discs working again) so as of now I don't have any loaders installed, so I can pick a different one if usb loader gx is too confusing
So far your guide has been clean, simple, easy to read, and easy to understand.
But when I go to click on the DM download link, the page pops up, but there is no download option available.
I have tried searching on the wiihacks search bar, but to no avail, I would try google, but I honestly do not trust most of the wii downloads on it.
I was wondering if you could possibly link me to a good DM v2.10 download?
Some browsers and users have issues with that google code site in how they imbedded another web page in the frame. Try using another browser and/or clearing cache to see if it helps. If not, look back in this thread maybe 5-10 pages and you will find me pasting links to downloads in the thread. They come right out of the page we want you to use so should work for you. Let me know if you still can't find it and I'll probably update my sig with more links.Quote:

The only thing I can think of is restoring the NAND backup, which I don't want to do because I don't want to lose all my wii save data. PLEASE HELP!!! :dft004::cower::dispirited::upset::hopelessness:

SYCODE - Solid to Mesh for AutoCAD :
Polygon solid to 3D mesh conversion plug-in for AutoCAD
Solid To Mesh for AutoCAD is a plug-in for AutoCAD which gives AutoCAD the ability to convert a 3D solid to a mesh.
AutoCAD does not have a command to convert a 3D solid into a polyface mesh. This kind of functionality is essential when an AutoCAD user needs to transfer his 3D solid models to an external program which can read mesh objects only, such as a rendering application. Solid To Mesh for AutoCAD removed this AutoCAD limitation by giving it the ability to convert a 3D solid into a polyface mesh. This mesh can later be saves to an AutoCAD DWG or DXF file and imported into another application.
Solid To Mesh for AutoCAD is designed to be extremely user friendly and easy to understand. To convert a solid into a mesh. Simply run the "SMConvertSolid" command and select the solid you wish to convert. Truly, software made simple!

Kansas City
I think that any reasonable person would have the sameexpectations that I do for a film starring Harry Belafonte. If he's going to be in the movie, there's got to be some point where he breaks into the Banana Song or the film is an utter failure.
And it's not exactly like Belafonte is playing a mutant space creature with two heads from the planet Xenon who doesn't know any English. He's Seldom Seen, a gangster in 1930s Kansas City. Seldom owns a jazz club called the Hey Hey Club and the hide of a white boy named Johnny O'Hara (Dermot Mulroney) who tried to steal some money from one of Seldom's gambling patrons. Let's be clear here: Seldom doesn't work in the jazz club; he owns the jazz club. He could break into the Banana Song any time he wanted.
This is a signature Robert Altman film in that it plays out like a slow-motion train wreck. Unless Altman has some incentive -- like his career is about to go down the toilet -- he insists on overindulging his fascination for pointless narrative (see "Pret a' Porter"), sending the film to a plodding, certain doom. And since Altman doesn't see it in his heart to have Harry Belafonte break into a rendition of the Banana Song, I say screw him.
The pointless narrative follows Johnny's wife, Blondie (Jennifer Jason Leigh) as she tries to get Johnny back by kidnapping a politician's (Michael Murphy) laudanum-addicted wife (Miranda Richardson). Apparently, someone suggested to Jennifer Jason that she down some laudanum herself and then try and repeat her "Hudsucker Proxy" schtick, because while her perfomance is not quite over-the-top, it remains unnervingly close. But given that fact, she too could have easily broke out into some kind of rendition of the Banana Song.
So nothing in the film was appealing, except its end when the credits finished, artificial light spread through the theater, daylight came and I got to go home.

The Whittaker-Bermite site's nearly 1,000 acres in the center of Santa Clarita needs to be ready for development by 2016 — and the state plans to ensure that happens, an official said recently.
"We want to have the site ready for development by 2016 — the fall of 2016," said Senior Project Manager Jose Diaz of the state Department of Toxic Substances Control.
"Conceptually, (developers) have shown us a lot of areas where they think they want to build homes. We're going to tell them 'Yes, you can' or 'No, you can't,'" he said.
The urgency of completing cleanup of toxins on the site follows years of seemingly slow progress as officials assessed the land the groundwater for pollutants, calculated who was going to pick up the bill and planned methods of cleanup.
But now the state Department of Toxic Substances Control and other involved agencies face a looming 2019 deadline, at which time Whittaker' Corp.'s insurance expires — and funding for the cleanup ceases, Diaz told a group of concerned citizens during a meeting last week.
"Some (developers) wanted to put homes on a nice, quiet canyon, but it just happened to be the worst spot on the site," he said of the former munitions-manufacturing plant, which is polluted with perchlorate and other harmful substances.
"There are going to be some areas that are going to be restricted," he said. "Those areas can still be developed for commercial or industrial use, open space, parking lots and parks."
"One of the other things I want to secure by 2016 is financial assurance," Diaz said.
"Whittaker, a British company, can fly the coop any day," he said. "The (Whittaker) insurance policy expires in 2019. So we want to make sure all their filings are taken care (of) while Whittaker is still here and the insurance is in place so that future property owners don't have to pay for it."
State watchdogs have said they expect the cleanup to switch into high gear this spring with soil, air and water treatment systems in place.
The Whittaker-Bermite site south of Soledad Canyon Road and east of Bouquet Canyon Road was a site for manufacturing explosives and munitions from the 1930s until 1987. Whittaker Corp. bought Bermite and thus inherited the problems when the site was found to be polluted.
Some of that pollution has seeped into groundwater, and Santa Clarita Valley groundwater is the source of about 50 percent of the valley's drinking water.
The 996 acres just south of the Saugus Speedway are sometimes called Santa Clarita's "doughnut hole" because of their strategic central location within the city.

Historical Traveler Reviews White Swan Hotel Guangzhou
Outstanding in all respects
We stayed in the White Swan for almost 2 weeks with our kids that were adopting a baby in China. It was a truly outstanding hotel. Room excellent[a bit small but fine], service outstanding and food very good. I would recommend it to anyone traveling to Guangzhou.
Truly the Worlds Leading Hotel!
I just recently stayed at the White Swan Hotel and it is hands down THE BEST hotel I've ever stayed at. The services there was extordinary and far beyond my exceptation. Everyone there was so nice and willing to help. I HIGHLY recommend staying at the White Swan---you won't be disappointed and you'll understand why I recommend this hotel. Beautiful rooms, excellent service, and a great price---what more can you ask for?
The White Swan was nice!
The White Swan was beautiful. The hotel was very clean, our Executive Suite was beautifully appointed, and the service was impecable. If anything, we found the service became a bit much after the first few days of our stay. Sometimes, our room was made up more than once in one day. Overall, our every need was met, and although it is pricey, we found it worth the money.
White Swan - Great Service
White Swan is excellent in all areas. Rooms are well appointed, bars and restaurants are first rate with a wide variety of foods. Situated in the old foreign quarter of Guangdong, the White Swam is loacted on an island which is very secure and one can walk the river front or local streets in complete security and comfort. The only draw-back, White Swan is not central located but this is part of the hotels offering to the international traveller. Prices inside the hotel are high, for all foods and services, for every block you walk from the hotel, prices are reduced.
I have stayed at the hotel three (3) times in the past 12 months and have not be dissappointed by the White Swan Hotel.
Better Then Most
I agree with one of the other posters: the food is expensive. But, don't forget that you're in this beautiful enclave known as Shaiman Island. With wonderful and MUCH less expensive places within a five minute walk. Lucy's down the street and the noodle shop right outside the front door were great. Loved the pool. They definitely cater to the adoption crowd and we made use of the game room that was as nice as any day care center I'd ever seen. FYI: the shop across the street that has the "going out of business" sign? That's a ploy. They've been going out of business for ten years. We did treat ourselves to an opulent, expensive and delicious last night's dinner in the main restaurant with BEAUTIFUL night-time views of the Pearl River. A nice way to end an arduous journey.
Great place to stay for a special treat
This is a very nice place to stay if you want to insulate yourself from Guangzhou. The hotel is nice, staff is accomodating. Rooms are very nice. It is pricey, though.
The locals call it the Baby Garden, because of all the people staying there to buy/adopt babies and that is a little disconcerting.
But it is a nice place to stay if you want a treat. The restuarants are good, but expensive and there are plenty better in the city. Shamian is a nice little enclave from the hustle and crowds of Guangzhou. And you risk your life every time you cross the street.
A pleasant stay
The White Swan is one of the best hotels I've stayed at in southern China. My last visit was September 1999, and although some parts of the hotel are mid-80's, it's still a luxurious hotel with excellent access to the rest of the city. Surrounding hotel is the old factory section that's more like old Europe than the dichotomy of modernism and shacktown-ness of Canton.
Rooms are serviced as soon as you leave the room, and the understated inlay furniture and chinese artwork make this a pleasant stay, but be sure to upgrade from their basic room packages. Believe it or not, the locals still use squat toilets in their homes, so its a nice retreat to come back to after a day of chaotic traffic, pollution, and searing city humidity.
Guards keep the city riff raff out, and the amenities are modern. The locals line up hours for dim sum, but hotel guests go to the front of the line, a nice touch.
If you need to buy anything, try to avoid the shops inside. Considering a nightly stay costs as much as a local's monthly income, there's no reason to pay retail.
The White Swan is is now an ugly duckling
During November, 1992 I stayed at the White Swan Hotel in Guangzhou and thought it was a grand and beautiful hotel. In March, 2004, I returned to the White Swan and found it to be a fading beauty in dire need of a makeover. At the present time, the White Swan is living on its reputation as a great beauty. It is sorely in need of better maintenance and a facelift. In my recent visit I was appalled by the fading white stucco facade of the building exterior. The tall marble lobby with the cascading waterfall that enchanted me in 1992 looks dated today.
Nice, but not great
We stayed here in November 2003 to adopt our daughter. The rooms are nice but not great. I was disappointed because of the wonderful things I had heard about the service at the White Swan. I didn't think it was better than the average three star hotels in the United States. My one issue was the crib latch didn't properly work. They didn't replace the crib, but taught us how to rig it closed. It wasn't good that we couldn't lower it to put our daughter in the crib because my wife has back problems.

Mata could make United debut against Cardiff
28 Jan 2014 - 8:27
Manchester United manager David Moyes (left) poses with new signing Spanish midfielder Juan Mata at the club training ground in Manchester, north west England, yesterday.
London: Record signing Juan Mata could feature for Manchester United when the champions try to get their floundering Premier League campaign back on track against Cardiff City at Old Trafford today (1945 GMT).
The 25-year-old Spain playmaker held his first news conference on Monday as a United player since his £37.1m ($61.22m) move from Chelsea at the weekend and it was announced he would wear the number eight shirt.
Mata's signing has raised hopes of a turnaround at United who are down in seventh spot, 14 points behind leaders Arsenal and six off the Champions League places.
Manager David Moyes said Mata had trained with his new team mates and that he would decide today whether to pick the midfielder against bottom club Cardiff. Moyes added that injured trio Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and Marouane Fellaini were back in training, raising the prospect of a four-way boost for the club.
The Scot was delighted to have bought Mata, saying he had doubts the club could pull the transfer off. "I'm thrilled," Moyes told reporters. "I got wind of it a month or two ago that it could be a possibility and never believed we could pull it off.
"When we got the sniff there was a chance Juan could be available we went after it right away."
Mata has not played since New Year's Day, where he showed his displeasure at being substituted early in Chelsea's 3-0 win at Southampton.
The match will see former United favourite Ole Gunnar Solskjaer return to Old Trafford as manager of Cardiff, having replaced Malky Mackay earlier this month.
The Norwegian said he would try to keep emotion out of the occasion despite having claimed a piece of club history when he scored the winning goal in the 1999 Champions League final against Bayern Munich.
"It's hard to say if I'll stay detached," he told The Sun newspaper.
"You never know, sometimes it just catches you doesn't it, like when you do your wedding speech and stuff.
"But I'm not too much of an emotional guy so I don't think that will be a problem. I'm more professional than emotional."
Everton, boosted by Leighton Baines signing a new four-year deal, will look to overtake Merseyside rivals Liverpool in the race for a Champions League spot when they clash at Anfield today.
Roberto Martinez's Everton are sixth on 42 points, one point and two league positions behind Liverpool.
Everton have not won at the home of their local rivals since 1999 and Liverpool defender Kolo Toure said they needed to keep that record intact to give themselves breathing space.
"We all know it's a massive game," said Toure. "It will be really intense but we really need to win.
"The top four is where we want to be. We're there now but we will only stay there if we win this game. "Everton are doing very well and Tottenham are close behind us too. But we are playing well and everyone is really focused.
"Our target is to be up there and we want those three points. At home we have a very good record and we want to keep that going."
Fifth-placed Tottenham host rampant Manchester City tomorrow hoping to keep their six-match unbeaten run under new manager Tim Sherwood intact.
The last meeting between the pair in November saw City, now one point off the lead in second place, score six goals without reply and signalled the beginning of the end for Andre Villas-Boas who was sacked less than a month later. Spurs are a more cohesive unit but will need to shackle City's free-scoring strikers to have any hope of success.
Arsenal could be without midfielder Jack Wilshere for Tuesday's visit to Southampton who will be minus Dejan Lovren and Gaston Ramirez with ankle ligament injuries.
Dani Osvaldo, Southampton's record signing, is serving a two-week suspension after an incident in training. AFP

"First Garden" now has the "First Hoophouse"
The White House has recently extended the First Family's garden season by installing hoophouses (or "low tunnels" to be more precise) in the new White House kitchen garden. Here's what White House Food Initiative Coordinator, Sam Kass, had to say about it on the White House blog:
Over the past few weeks, we have worked to prepare the soil for the planting of the winter garden. We are able to extend the growing season by using a simple, inexpensive cover called a high tunnel or hoop house. A hoop house simply amounts to a series of metal bars set in a row over one of the beds, and a fabric or plastic pulled tight around the bars. As the sun warms the garden during the day, the fabric traps the heat in, keeping the plants from freezing overnight. Although there are many kinds of plants that aren't able to grow even in the hoop houses, we are thrilled to have so many delicious things growing at this very moment!
We have planted spinach, lettuce, carrots, mustard greens, chard and cabbage, and we will add a few more varieties in the next couple weeks. I especially look forward to cooking with the spinach. Winter spinach is extra sweet. Sugar doesn't freeze, so spinach produces extra sugars in the winter to protect itself from frost. It tastes almost like candy. We are going to make soups, salads and, of course, Chef Comerford's famous cream-less creamed spinach.
One of the great thing about hoophouses and low tunnels is that they're easy and inexpensive to make. Here are some instructions for building one of your own.

It's a gray area in closely-watched cases critics say resulted from a vague law.
Judge Richard Kuhn, handling ten of the defendants in Waterford Township's 51st District Court, on Tuesday denied patients access to their medicine while on bond, likening the situation to a drunk driving suspect told to refrain from alcohol.
But Judge Joseph Longo, handing another ten defendants in Ferndale's 43rd District Court, said Thursday he will allow patients to use the drug.
"They have every right to use whatever medications" their physicians prescribe, Longo told the Detroit Free Press.
That should come as some relief to the patients of the Clinical Relief dispensary, many of whom will have to wait at least two more weeks to appear in court after Longo delayed preliminary hearings in the wake of the clinic owner's death.
The Oakland Press reports 67-year-old Sal Agro of Lake Orion, who ran the Ferndale dispensary along with his sons, died Thursday after suffering a heart attack. He was recovering from recent hip surgery.
Agro, who likened Oakland County authorities to "the Gestapo" after they raided his home last week, was a retired GM worker and beloved Lake Orion sports coach.
Defendants in both trials face charges related to the delivery and manufacturing of marijuana. Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard says clinic operators were testing the limits of Michigan's medical marijuana law, which does not address the legality of dispensaries.

People who want to have a say in what is discussed at future Site C public hearings have a chance to help plan the meetings. Once the Joint Review Panel completes their review of the BC Hydro's amended environmental impact statement they will host a round of public hearing. Joint Review Panel spokesperson Lucille Jamault says the panel is currently inviting public comments on the future meetings.
"It will issue a notice of hearing, and that will be at least 30 days before the start of the public hearings, but we're not there yet. Currently the panel is inviting the public to write in to submit their written comments on the public hearing procedures."
The Peace Valley Environmental Association (PVEA) are currently getting a collection of statements ready to submit. Andrea Morrison with the PVEA says they are concerned that presenters won't have a chance to answer BC Hydro's response after they present.
"In order to have a productive discussion it's nice to be able to have the opportunity to go back and forth a little bit, and this is called the right of response. It normally is allowed in a hearing process, so we find it quite unusual that it won't be allowed in this process so we'll be asking for reconsideration of that stipulation."
The PVEA are currently going over the comments they will be sending in with their legal team. Once the meeting dates are announced the PVEA plan on coming in prepared.
"We always take a look at what environmental processes on similar projects have had, and what's been allowed. We always back up our requests with examples from other processes," says Morrison.
As the Joint Review Panel works through the environmental impact statement they will be releasing information to the public. People can even have themselves added to the mailing list to receive email updates.
"Well it's important to know that you can go on the agency website. That's ceaa.gc.ca and have a look at the Site C web page. All the information is posted there. Including comments that are received, directions from the panel, invitation for the public to comment on the public hearing procedures, the public hearing procedures themselves. So it is a very transparent process. People can go to the website and read what has been received so far," says Jamault.
The Join Review Panel have up to 8 months to complete their review. Comments must be submitted by September 16. To learn how to submit comments you can click the following link.

News staff writer
A paranormal researcher has asked the Homewood Public Library if he can investigate the presence of ghosts or other paranormal activity there.
Deborah Fout, library director, told board members the request came via e-mail from Kenneth Allen of the South Eastern Paranormal Studies.
In the e-mail, Allen said he's aware of claims of paranormal activity at the library and wants to bring a team to the library to verify those claims, Fout said.
He said he would conduct a discreet investigation and would not charge the library, Fout said. The library board took no action on the request, asking Fout to get more information on Allen's request.
Contacted by e-mail, Kevin Orrick, founder and director of South Eastern
See LIBRARY Page 5S
From Page 1S
Paranormal Studies, declined an interview. "We have strict guidelines when it comes to releasing information about our cases," he said. "Only when our case is concluded and with consent of the client can we release information."
Claims of paranormal activity at the Homewood Library appear to be part of the library's history in the former church building.
Fout and other staff have attested to strange occurrences such as hearing voices of elderly women when no such group is meeting, doors opening and closing on their own and work crews witnessing lights flickering on and off and metal rods floating in air.
The claims have been immortalized in a book, "Stories From The Haunted South," by Alan Brown, which sits on Fout's office bookshelf.
In the book, Fout recounts an encounter when her office doors closed by themselves when she was alone in the library.
Such claims have prompted others to investigate the claims, including a group of psychics who asked to visit the library one Sunday morning, Fout said.
"It was a show," the library director said. "They showed me where the vortex was and all this kind of stuff. It was funny." In paranormal terminology, a vortex is a gateway to other realms.
Fout takes a good-natured approach to the possibility of paranormal activity. "Nobody's ever seen ghosts," she said. "They haven't been harmful. Everybody's just had fun with it."
The board also made light of the situation.
"Are Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd on this team, wearing little jumpsuits with backpacks?" asked board member Mike Higginbotham, referring to the main characters in the movie "Ghostbusters."
"I think most of the paranormal activity around here takes place on the third Tuesday of every month," said library board chairman Don Whatley, referring to the board's monthly meeting date.

All in all, we had an awesome yummylicious meal!
p.s// They use slow juicer (I think it was Hurom brand) for their fruit juices! So drink away!
I love fried chicken in general and this did not disappoint! At all!
No surprises why they are called Korean No.1 Fried Chicken!
Honestly, the only thing missing was a cup of ice cold beer hahahaha
Esp to counter the Hot Spice flavour O_O
Also, if you watched "My Love from The Star", this was the fried chicken
that always appears inside.

The Carpenter's Daughter @ USJ Taipan, Subang Jaya
Today's food review!(⌒▽⌒)♡
Isn't the name super cute? ( ´ ▽ ` )
When Caroline first told me the name, thought she was joking with me!
And being the kepochi I am, automatically I asked if the owner of this bakery cum cafe is a carpenter's daughter
her dad STILL DOES carpentry!
Ambience was quite nice!
Very warm, homey (honestly, this photo of their ingredients reminds me of my own home) & has that whole "wood" theme going on.
Which of course, suits the cafe's name.
It's not just to "stick to the name", if I remember correctly, most of the stuffs/furniture used that you see in the shop are made by her dad?! (゚〇゚!!)
Not sure bout the bread racks.
But the tables, the chairs, the wooden tray used to put food.
(Do take note of your chairs when you dine in!)
(Do take note of your chairs when you dine in!)
All of it.
I would say it's very nicely made too!
Cause I actually asked if it's for sale Hahahaha (^▽^"") #shopaholic
Famous for their wholesome, organic, homemade sourdough bread!
The thing that I felt was quite reasonably priced while walking around the shop, was actually the cakes.
Per slice was around rm10.90 averagely.
I would assume it's cheaper than most places? Slices looks normal sized too.
And the ingredients said?
All organic!
No artificial flavouring!
I realized some trays are empty but that's cause the stuffs get sold out pretty fast seeing that everything is made fresh daily.
So frst come, frst serve! (¬‿¬ )
Though I have never heard of this cafe since I hardly step out of my PJ comfort zone.
But this place has been around quite a while?
Cause it's their 4th Anniversary this year!
To celebrate, a new menu will be launched ( ´ ▽ ` )
Classic French Toast (from their own homemade bread of course) served with organic Agave, baked apple cinnamon, butter (Lurpak yo!) & jam.
For the sweet tooth, I bet this dish would satisfy them through & through. Sometimes you just wanna eat something sweet but not necessarily dessert?
This hits the spot! (´౪`)
Bread Platter comes with 4 types of bread (tomato, 7 grain, cranberry & ciabatta), truffle butter, walnuts, grapes & a bowl of soup!
It was hard to pick a fav bread among the four, though I thought the tomato bread was quite interesting. First time eating such flavour!
Love dunking bread into soup in general (。◕‿◕。)
plus point that the soup is homemade, not out from some can!
Loved the truffle butter too! Too bad it was a lil' hard thus it was difficult to have a nice spread on the bread.
Roasted Garlic Shrimp Dip is a combination of shrimp & scallop dip infused with garlic, herbs & a hint of chilli. Serves with Italian square bread.
Prawns could have been fresher but otherwise, everything else was yummy.
Quite enjoyed this bread too!
(I can safely say I enjoy all their breads so far hahaha)
Yes. I like dunking breads into sauces too (・∀・)
Yogurt Parfait & more is my kind of breakfast!
Comes with muesli yogurt parfait, quinoa salad, mini roll with tuna, pastry of the day & orange juice!
It's like a mini party on one tray! Perfect for people like me who likes varieties of stuff!
Loved the yogurt parfait & quinoa salad ( ̄∀ ̄)
Orange juice reminded me of the ones served on aeroplanes flights!
(which I like okay!)
P.s// So far all the wooden trays you see the food being placed on?
All made by the owner's father!
I love it! haha Yes, I asked if they are for sale! ( ´艸`)
Buckwheat Assam Laksa definitely stands out on it's own.
Not really my cup of tea as I prefer Assam Laksa with strong flavours.
This was more of a healthy version I should say?
The noodle itself was not bad & definitely something diff for as an Assam Laksa ingredient!
Classic Aglio Olio is nothing new but the taste definitely came as a pleasant surprise!
Sometimes the simplest dish I feel, is one of the hardest to make and I think they did it well.
Everything was nicely balanced!
Definitely one of my more fav dish today! ( ̄∀ ̄)
My favourite time of the day!
Tea time!(✪‿✪)ノ
2 tiers of sweets & salty.
Scones with jam & cream, mushroom quiches, lemon meringues, carrot cake, macarons & light sandwiches.
Savour these delightful treats with Premium Tea from Ronnefeldt Germany.
Rows of scones, mushroom quiches & lemon meringue tarts!
These are what I tried from the afternoon tea set!
Scones were not bad. Would very much preferred if it was served warm.
I don't fancy quiche in general but EVERYONE else took a second helping for that. So I think it should be good la. (´౪`)
Lemon meringue tart was yummmyyyyy.
They said they only used pure lemon to make the paste (the filling??)
I love it cause it's sooooooo freaking sour!
Hahaha if you don't like sour stuff, Please don't eat this. Cause it definitely packs a punch!
A fantastic great punch! (´∀`)/

You guys have been kicking around the idea of doing a covers album for 20 years. Why now?
The timing was never right. We grew up in an era when pop-rock was on the radio. We decided to do those songs to put to bed the myth (that has) always lumped us with British new wave or heavy metal.
More Talk with
Your Favorite Stars
We got a thumb's up from Bowie for "Drive-In Saturday." Rod Stewart asked if we could send a copy (of the album) up to his house.
How do think Simon Cowell would rate your renditions of other people's music?
I don't watch American Idol. Those programs annoy the hell out of me. I don't know much about Simon Cowell other than he should be strung up ... like a piñata.
Def Leppard has never received much critical acclaim. With the VH1 honors, do you feel your detractors are finally starting to come around?
We've never been (critical) darlings and it worked in our favor. It makes us look like a multiplatinum underdog.
A recent Entertainment Weekly feature shows a picture of you guys from 1984 in matching Union Jack tank tops and short shorts. Do you look back at photos like that and laugh?
You look at them the way you look at wedding photos: You giggle and cringe at some. It doesn't embarrass me because it's what we were then. There are photographs out there of us with long hair, short hair, ripped jeans, leather trousers – it's just the time period. It's part of the capsule.
What can expect to see backstage these days at a Def Leppard show?
Everyone in the band is married but we're certainly not all sober. (Guitarist) Phil Collen hasn't had a drink in 23 years. I haven't had a drink in 23 minutes. (Drummer) Rick Allen doesn't drink. The rest of us are what you call "polite drinkers." We're certainly not dead drunk like we used to get.
It's not the wild party days of 25 years ago?
We do have our moments. We have pajama parties on the bus where we insist that our road crew wear nightgowns and ladies' attire. We don't join in but we'll take photos and laugh at them. The emphasis has always been on the music. We were always pacing ourselves very well. It's like the old cliché about the tortoise and the hare – we're definitely the old tortoise. That's why we're still going.

Robotics II - Robotics Engineering
A course that explores the principles of engineering by constructing a robot for the Rhode Island FIRST Tech Challenge. Using the Lego MINDSTORM kit, Tetrix kit, and FIRST Tech Challenge guidelines, students work together in a highly team-oriented class to design, build, test, and debug a tournament-ready robot. Throughout the year, student learn about:
• The Engineering Design Process
• The importance of team communication and effectively relating ideas
• The principles of proper design and the importance of testing and modifying that design throughout
• The correct uses of various kit components, including screws and bolts, bushings, channel beams, brackets, motors, servos.
• The proper ways to incorporate and modify other materials to use on the bot or the test field - sheet metal, plexiglas, kydex, zip ties, non-slip pads, PVC pipe, rubber bands, wood, and more
• Recording all ideas in an Engineering Notebook
• Programming the controls for the robot using the RobotC language, including joystick controls, #include statements, loops, functions, variables, and bluetooth linking to the robot microcontrollerh
• Functioning as a team in the tournament environment, strategizing, repairing, and driving the bot during the day-long event
In reality, the secondary goal is to build a robot to compete in the FIRST Tech Challenge, and the true purpose is the discovery of the complexities and trade-offs associated with building robots. Field trips to area robotics labs, other teams' workshops, and hardware stores are also incorporated when possible.
Here's a video of Alyssa's lifter Mark III, which has since been rebuilt into the Mark IV version that can lift 15+ lbs! The chassis is also progressing smoothly, with rubberized tank treads added for traction. Looking forward to integrating everything soon!

My guy and I went out this weekend to finish up our shopping. We left the house at 11 a.m.
We bought the annual Christmas supply of socks, T-shirts, pajama pants and fireworks - the little extras we've always added to the mix, and that our brood has come to expect along with their "real" presents.
Somewhere in there we also had lunch. By the time we decided to pack it in, we were tired and felt like we'd used up the whole day.
I looked at the clock.
"Guess what time it is," I said.
"It's still daylight, but it's gotta be late. I'm beat. Close to 5?" he guessed.
"Three o'clock," I said.
"That can't be right." He glanced over at me like I must be crazy (not an atypical look as it turns out) before eyeing the car clock. "How did that happen?"
We had purchased all but a few of the items on our list in less than a few hours. Granted I had already done a lot of it, but that doesn't usually matter.
In the past when the Hubster and I have gone Christmas shopping it has always been a marathon that includes three meals and the closing down of stores. We've actually had to get the store guards to open the doors for us so we could get out. There were times we joked about hiding in the mall so we could finish shopping overnight and check out in the morning. Fortunately, we never went that far.
There were years that we spent entire weekends lugging unhappy children for hours through toy stores, clothing stores, fast food restaurants (in the days before food courts and play zones -- hard to imagine) and keeping them going with promises of movies later.
And of course the trip usually involved waiting in a long line of equally stressed families to talk to Santa. How many hours did we spend in that endeavor? There were times I wasn't sure who was crankier, the kids or us. (But I cherish the photos of our little guy-kids sitting on Santa's lap, even if the event itself was often less than fabulous.)
As the years have slipped on by, our list has shortened with the loss of beloved fathers. I still have the urge to buy mine a fishing lure or shirt every year, then have to remember his story is told, his last gift received. He continues only in our memories and the retelling of favorite family tales that include him.
But we have added new people to our list as well with the much-loved young women in our man-children's lives. I have a wonderful time shopping for them since our own guy-kids were not into frilly shirts and tights. I satisfy the frustration born of buying nothing but khaki pants, blue shirts and navy blazers in increasing larger sizes, by choosing the really cute stuff I can't wear but the girls can.
So the years have changed our shopping needs, and I like to think we've gotten better at it as well. We are organized, with a list and a clear idea of what we are going for, yet flexible enough to know when we need to cut our losses and move on to another idea.
The getting ready is easier. The gathering of the gifts is no longer the ordeal it once was, the kids don't have to be dragged from store to store. We come home before we are ready to collapse.
We will welcome the children as they come to join us for the celebration. We will visit with our mothers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles and cousins, and the friends who complete our family circle.
And just I and mine plan to have, I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas!
