Busy weekend with Fernando Valenzuela, Bob Hope Garage sale and more
Is that time of the year when our weekends are so busy but the Dodgers Holiday Mall tour continues encouraging fans to give the gift of Dodger Baseball. Fans that purchase a 2013 mini plan or season tickets at the mall Saturday will receive an autographed Fernando Valenzuela bobblehead while supplies last. Cool ha? but what about us that already have season tickets?
Location: WestField West Covina 112 Plaza Drive West Covina, CA 91790
Time: Saturday, December 8 , 2012 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Autograph times: Fernando Valenzuela from 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. and Kenny Landreaux from 2:00 p.m. – 6:00
Bob Hope Garage Sale
I was reading the Daily News when I ran into an article about a garage sale at Bob Hope's Estate. The garage sale is December 8 & 9. The sale according to the article is for Christmas stuff. This reminded me of Bob Hope's Dodger bobblehead
I wish I had this bobblehead. The information from the daily news here http://www.dailynews.com/ci_22133815/garage-sale-this-weekend-at-bob-hopes-toluca.
From the article:
Fans of Bob Hope can buy a little piece of the legendary entertainer this weekend at a garage sale held at his Toluca Lake estate that will be a prelude to its eventual sale.
From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, admirers of the comedian, movie star, perennial Oscars host, tireless USO tour emcee and golf nut can purchase Christmas decorations and other items he and his wife collected after they built the place in 1939. Bob Hope died at age 100 in 2003, and Dolores died at age 102 in 2011.
"The house is not currently on the market," their daughter, Linda Hope, explained regarding much recent speculation. "The garage is being cleaned out of things to prepare it, but it's not ready to be on the market yet. Eventually, it will be sold."
Hope noted that furniture, artwork and other items from her parents' home will later be auctioned via Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills, probably in the fall of 2013.
She also mentioned that this is the last time to enjoy a special display at 10346 Moorpark St.
"We have the Nativity up that was sort of a Christmas tradition with my parents," Hope said. "This will be the last year that it's up there, but it's for all of our neighbors and friends for whom it's kind of a highlight to have that up there at the corner for the holidays."
I would love to see this huge nativity set.
Allendale Holiday Literary Festival and Tree Lighting
Saturday is also the company (where I work) Christmas party but I already had RSVP to a different event. I am going to the "Allendale Holiday Literary Festival and Tree Lighting" My brother Vic said "The Allendale event is more what you like to do." He is right.
From the email I got from my friend Terry Cannon who works at this branch "A stellar roster of poets and authors will explore the "true meanings" of the holidays in works ranging from the irreverent and satirical to the spiritual and devotional…."
When: Saturday, December 8, 4:00 – 6:00 p.m.
Where: Allendale Branch Library, 1130 S. Marengo Ave., Pasadena, CA 91106/
Some of the poets and authors participating:
Dorian Cohen, Monica Lee Copeland, Chris Erskine, Michael C Ford, Naomi Hirahara, David Kipen, Abel Prudhomme, Luivette Resto, Ellen Snortland, Lynne Thompson.
The evening's festivities will conclude with the lighting of the Allendale Park Christmas Tree at 5:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served.
For more information, contact Shauna Redmond at (626) 744-7260 or email@example.com.
Like I said, busy weekend.

Driver in serious wreck pleads guilty
More than seven months after a Belpre accident that sent a woman and a young girl to the hospital, a Waverly, W.Va., man pleaded guilty to two vehicular assault charges in the case.
David L. McPherson II, 36, of Route 2, entered the guilty pleas Monday in Washington County Common Pleas Court.
Each fourth-degree felony count of vehicular assault carries a maximum penalty of 18 months in prison.
"Last November, the defendant was driving down in Belpre, on Campus Drive and Stone Road, when he went left of center and hit a grandmother and her granddaughter," said Washington County Assistant Prosecutor Jared Erb.
The two women and McPherson were taken to Camden Clark Medical Center in Parkersburg, said Erb. The grandmother was treated for a broken arm. The girl, who was 7 at the time of the crash, was transported to Charleston where she was treated for internal injuries, he said.
Blood work performed on McPherson at the hospital showed he had a .354 percent blood alcohol content, well over the 0.08 legal limit in Ohio, said Erb.
McPherson did not have a valid license at the time of the accident, he added.
He was initially indicted on two third-degree felony charges of aggravated vehicular assault-charges which defined the accident as a result of drunk driving. However, Ohio law stipulates that out-of-state blood work can not be used to prove a crash resulted from drunk driving.
Ohio law does allow for the out-of-state blood work to be used to prove recklessness. Therefore, McPherson was indicted again in April, this time on the fourth-degree felony charges that allowed for the admission of the blood work.
Asked by Washington County Common Pleas Court Judge Randall Burnworth if he was currently suffering from any physical problems, McPherson said that he needs to undergo knee surgery and that he still has internal injuries from the accident.
"Do any of those impair your understanding of today's proceedings?" asked Burnworth.
They did not, said McPherson.
In exchange for McPherson's guilty plea, the state agreed to recommend 60 days in the Washington County Jail on each of the two counts. The two 60-day sentences would run concurrently and McPherson would receive credit for 22 days already served, said Erb.
McPherson would additionally serve three years community control and would receive a one-year license suspension under the agreed disposition.
Burnworth scheduled McPherson's sentencing for 4 p.m. Aug. 12.

Chicago, Ill. Interim State Superintendent of
Schools Randy Dunn recommended to the State Board of Education
today that the state retain a college entrance exam as
part of the Prairie State Achievement Exam (PSAE), the
annual test required for 11th grade students
in Illinois.
We met with educators throughout the state to get
their input. While we heard a number of different opinions,
in our final analysis we believe its important that
the State maintain its high standards for all students,
said Dunn. It gives all students in Illinois access
to a free college entrance exam, which for many kids is
the only way theyll be able to take one. We want
to give encouragement and opportunity to every student
in Illinois to continue his or her education.
In 2003, two years after incorporating the ACT exam into
the PSAE, the number of graduating seniors taking the
ACT in Illinois jumped by 51 percent. In that same two
year period, Illinois average ACT composite score
rose from 20.1 to 20.3. That score is comparable to averages
from other states where not all students are required
to take the ACT, and those who do take it are generally
The National Assessment Governing Board has recommended
that all states assess students on their ability to enter
the workforce or continue with their education before
they leave high school. Because of the increased demands
of the global economy and the high-levels of literacy
required by most jobs, students must leave high school
with enhanced skills in order to be competitive in college
and the workforce.
After formal approval by the State Board, the agency
will issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for administering
the college entrance exam. The states current contract
with ACT Incorporated ends June 30, 2005.
In addition to the college entrance exam and the workplace
skills test in reading and mathematics, Illinois
PSAE includes a science content test developed by ISBE
in collaboration with Illinois teachers to comprehensively
measure student outcomes against the Illinois Learning
Standards for reading, mathematics and science.

Dutch French loanwords subscription expires.
The French president Hollande demanded that the Netherlands return all loanwords before 2015. Indirect reason for his 'cri de coeur' is the 200th anniversary of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which will be celebrated from 2013 to 2015
- 1813 marked the end of French rule and various words and phrases from French origin were loaned. The Dutch government has for years been able to renew the subscription but after 200 years the French want their words back.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Frans Timmermans relativates his worries about the file in his portfolio. "This idée-fixe of France is not an ordinary request but a logical measure in historical perspective."
The Netherlands have made some question remarks about the name Hollande. Stef Blok (VVD) is alert on some economic profits that may result from this request. The research office of his party forsees a significant growth of demand for cordon bleus, horloges en prostitutes.The rumor that proper names are at stake too is an outrage says Frans . For 'Cedric', 'Bernard' and 'Louise' they wil try to work out a slow and mild replacement construction.
The CPB expects that only 69% of all French loanwords can be replaced in time.
This is good news for cabaretiers, trottoirs and oeuvres.
Bad news for parvenues and bonvivants because from 1915 they will have to do without lingerie, polonaise and bouillon.

Something like that I suppose. The idea of this being serious would be real fun. If you think of it on a world wide scale.

Geography, Flora & Fauna
Geography & Topography
The island of Cozumel lies 12 miles offshore the eastern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico and is the largest island in the Mexican Caribbean as well as being the most populated island of Mexico.
With water the color of imperial jade and edged with white-sand beaches and craggy black castles of limestone and coral, Cozumel is the largest of 3 islands off the east coast of the state of Quintana Roo.
The island is approximately 29 miles (48 kilometers) long and 11 miles (17.5 kilometers) wide at its widest point, with the highest elevation point measuring a mountainous 45 feet above sea level.
Climate & Temperatures
Cozumel temperatures are warm year-round with daytime highs averaging 81 F (27°C). In the Caribbean, hurricane season officially begins June 15 and runs through November 15th each year. Do not let this deter your planning because INSIDERS know that these are some of the best months to enjoy the Cozumel. Yes, there is always the chance of a tropical storm or hurricane coming in but typically there is a warning period and time for preparation or departure from the island if needed.
The heaviest rains begin in June and last through October. It's possible for rain to fall almost every day during that time but the usual afternoon shower is brief and causes minimal interruption of travel or activities. Occasionally, however, the skies can open up and let loose torrents. During wet months, expect high humidity. November - May is generally balmy, with daytime highs averaging 80 F lower humidity and an occasional cool evening. Always remember, tropical climes can change from mellow to miserable and back again very quickly.
- High 80's to low 90's°F (32°C)
- Mid 70's°F (24°C)
Water temperatures
range from 77°- 84°F (25°-29°C) throughout the year.
Fauna & Flora
The tropical forests of the Mexican State of Quintana Roo are home to many exotic trees, flowers, plants, and animals. Along with the many mangroves, bamboo, and swamp cypresses, ferns, vines, and flowers slither throughout the various trees to create a dense jungle. On the highest of limbs, orchids and air ferns can be seen stretching towards the sun.
The Southern part of the Yucatan Peninsula hosts classical tropical rainforests that are the home of tall mahoganies, campeche, zapote, and kapok, all of which are covered by jungle vines.
Los Arboles (The Trees)
Perhaps the most recognizable of trees in the area are the many types of Palm trees. These trees, vital to the survival of the people and region, come in many varieties- tall, short, fruited, and oil-producing. Some specific types of palms include Royal (tall with smooth trunks), Queen (used for landscaping and bearing sweet fruit), and Thatch (used extensively for roof thatch).
At one time, the Coconut palm served the Yucatan very well as it is used for producing oil, food, drink, and shelter. The tree matures in 6 to 7 years and then bears coconuts for the following 5 to 7 years. Unfortunately the "Yellow Disease" , a condition that has struck the coconut palm from Florida to Central America, has taken away the coconut palm as a source of income.
Henequen, which is a cousin to the Palm tree, is used to form twine, rope, matting, and other products. The Calabash tree provides gourds that Mayan Indians have used for years as containers.
A tall tree known as the Ceiba is known as the Mayan tree of life, and tied very close to the Mayan religion.
The beautiful Framboyanes (royal poinciana) have wide-spreading branches covered in clusters of brilliant orange-red flowers when they are in bloom during the summer months.
Las Frutas (The Fruit)
In addition to the trees, there are many delicious fruits that grow in the this region of Mexico. Sweet and sour oranges, limes, and grapefruits can be found, as well as the presence of the papaya, and avocado. The mamey tree, which grows to 15-20 meters in height, provides a brown avocado-shaped fruit with a sweet salmon-pink flesh in the middle (a flavor similar to the sweet yam). A lanky evergreen known as the Guaya produces small, green, leathery pods that grow in clumps like grapes. These pods have a sweet, yellowish, jellylike flesh.
Las Flores (The Flowers)
In remote areas of the state, the orchid can be found on the highest limbs of tall trees. There have been 71 species reported on the Yucatan of which 20% are terrestrial, and 80% are epiphytic, meaning that they are attached to host trees and deriving moisture and nutrients from the air and rain. Both types grow in so many different sizes, shapes, and colors- some subtle and some brilliant.
In the spring, flowering trees are the gathering place for hundreds of singing birds that come together for the mating season in the treetops. Here in a natural environment you'll see a full spectrum of flowers that display wild colors and appealing scents. White and Red Ginger are among the most exotic of herbs, in addition to Plumeria which has a wonderful scent and can be found in many colors. Hibiscus and bougainvillea bloom in the forests and are of the most colorful sort that you will find. In addition to these exotic flowers, the more common Morning Glory is prevalent as it endlessly creeps and climbs over trees and bushes.

Sherri, We had the most wonderful time with you in May! You and your staff made our weekend there in Cozumel with your great hospitality. The grounds are beautiful, food was great and the snorkeling ~ well my group just could not get enough and were amazed by the tropical sealife there off your beach. We look so much forward to coming back and seeing you again very soon. Tell the staff thanks again and say hello to the family for us as well. Take care:0) ....Happy Cruise Passenger
J. Wellborn ~ Cragford, AL USA
We had a great day. The weather was sketchy but the fish plentiful, food excellent, beer cold and location super. Can't say enough good things about the entire experience from booking to departing. Will certainly make this our go to spot when in Cozumel!
L. Smith (June 2016) ~ Shreveport, LA USA
What a great Experience!!! We booked our excursions through this website with a slight bit of apprehension. We figured it would be safer to book through our cruise ship since this was our first time going to Cozumel. Boy am I so thankful we didn't. Our cruise ship (which we thoroughly enjoyed) had many excursions organized with tons of people in each excursion. By booking through INSIDER we were definitely given smaller groups to be with. We did the Atlantis Submarine excursion and we saved almost 100 dollars right there!!! We also booked a Resort Scuba with Eagle Ray Divers. We had 1-on-1 attention with Antonio (the owner), our own boat to go out on, and got personalized attention with the lesson/dive. I know if we had booked on the cruise ship there probably would've been many other people ...
Also, we originally booked a car rental for that Saturday morning. Jacqueline @ Cozumel Insider, called us at home prior to our cruise to inform us of some minor scheduling changes. She then suggested that the rental car may not be neccessary due to our number of excursions and our limited time. Due to her advice we cancelled our car rental which was the wise thing to do. This shows that this company has a lot of integrity and is not out there just to make a buck on the unsuspecting tourist. Next year we will definitely book through Cozumel Insider, we will recommend this company to all our friends, and we plan on booking with Antonio for more scuba next time!!!!
M Carson ~ Tullahoma, Tennesseee
Sherri, I did receive both email confirmations. Thank you again for your great customer support and service in getting these activities scheduled for me. I will recommend your site to all of my friends who visit the island. Thanks again!!
A. Washburn ~ Not Given
We appreciated the correspondence with information and details on how to get to PalMar and what to expect. We were welcomed by friendly staff and enjoyed our stay.

Livingston makes Bargnani and Stat look like Teflon
Da, it's EXTREMELY shady when a player turns down $10M to play for $3M...
someone needs to check on Kirilenko's family... wife, kids, grandma K, etc., or do
an exposé on how and why he would sign for SO much less MILLIONS OF RUBLES!!
Nyets Russkie prez must have something on Killaraincoat!
jeez, look at what the Nyets have done in 2 years compared to Knicks tiny brain trust,
headed by Jimmy "I play guitar" Dolan. btw, Dolan's band is opening for The Eagles!
WTF?!?! stupid money spent by a stupid man to satisfy his ego.
please have a heart attack and die on stage.
what a difference it makes to have a smart billionaire running a professional sports team
than a stupid sh*thead born with a silver spoon in his mouth, who doesn't know how to run a business.
Livingston makes Bargnani and Stat look like Teflon
Kirilenko was a free agent for awhile. Did any team offer him more money than the $3.1M taxpayer mid-level? If not, how can it be proven that a side deal is in play?
By current Tyson do you mean the one who came back fr the playoffs after missing weeks and looked out of sync? Or the anchor to our D the past 2 season... What's sad is how fast fans can flip flop off a bad showing and not examine the facts of the matter...
And about KG...if he's so ageless how come his productivity and minutes have dipped each of the last 3 seasons?
You claim Lopez is a top 3 Center yet he could not dominate a depleted Chicago front out? The best player they had on him was a one legged Noah! Lopez is cut from the same cloth as Eddy Curry
Big Offseason moves don't gas me...give me the additions I said and again we can win against anyone
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
I wana se Andrea vs Lopez both 7 footers both can shoot both r quick both can dunk Anrea can shoot 3s
no competition for Chanlder he can just dunk nothing more
he need 2 know how to play center from The Dream
Nets got 4 shooters Will SOn of John Garnett Pierce
how many Knicks fans will b traded to Nets just b4 beginnin new season
no Back2back games for STAT which means more time for others
most important shape of JR and his head
IMHO still Pacers only team that can compete with Da Heat they forced them to game 7 and i am still curious HOW would that series b without game winner in game 1 Lebron. They added Cope which was barely used in playoffs he can also hurt Heat.
Wade health status is also key factor of Heat status LEbron will not win everything.
When have you coached or played before? Shut your fat mouth up. Don't say something when you hold no weight in that department. I'm a boxer, not a basketball player. But I'm a Knicks fan and a life long NBA fan. Stop acting like "Zone Defense" is a complex thing, it isn't.
What makes you think a guy like Andrea can play zone defense? In zone defense, you need quick feet and lateral movement...Andrea can't guard a guy infront of him nor be a help defense or defend a zone. Your idea is poorly thought out like most of your post...stop posting mindless things. Andrea isn't a SF and will never be. He's a 7 foot long range shooter with an average post game. Defensively, he provides nothing except solid post defense he developed two years ago.
Chandler is damaged goods. He's not an anchor on defense. That was over 1-2 years ago. It's 2013 now. Chandler is almost 33 years old and has been playing NBA ball since he was 17. He has as much NBA mileage as Kevin Garnett...what mindless miracle are you wishing for? For Chandler to make a comeback season? We'll see it when it happens. For now, Chandler stinks due to his ****ty 12-13 season. From beginning to end. His defense was horrid in the first half, he gradually got better, but got injured and raped in the playoffs. Chandler always been injury prone, remember that. Has been since he was a Bull.
KG is a defensive anchor and kept the Celtics relative and an elite defensive squad. KG is 35 years old, what do you expect...for him to continue to producing all star numbers? He's still a game changer and an important player...his game doesn't rely on athleticism like Tyson, so when Chandler gets hurt, he's totally ineffective. KG is one of the most skilled big men of all time, and I hate his guts. But you gotta be a moron to think KG won't be a factor because he's "decline" the last 3 years as a 35 year old NBA vet...show me how many NBA 35 year olds DON'T decline at that timeline of their career.
You're an idiot. Lopez is easily a top 3-5 center and it's not debatable. Eddy Curry couldn't hold Lopez's nuts. Lopez actually doesn't turn the ball over and foul like Curry, actually block shots. Lopez averaged 23.5 ppg per 36 minutes on a 2.1 TO's per 36 rate...that's #1 amongst centers making Lopez the best scoring center in the league since Yao Ming. Lopez can block shots and his rebound isn't strong, but he can pull 8-9 rebounds a game and playing next to KG, it'll be tough for teams to battle against two 7 footers ...get real.
^^This, but for different reasons.
82 regular season games. Inevitable playoff matchups with Miami/Chicago/Indiana. An aging roster.
Best team on paper, hands down. But I honestly don't see them getting past the ECF with all that age. And to me, Deron Williams is still the most overrated player in the East.

The Highland Town Board last Tuesday approved a 2014 budget that would call for a tax levy of $1,636,202.64, or a 1.33% increase in the town's share of property owners' January tax bills.
Coming in below the state's 2% cap, the $2,189,420.64 proposal will come before a public hearing on Monday, November 4 at 7 p.m.
The hearing will precede a special meeting of the town board, replacing the board's normally scheduled first-Tuesday work session, where Supervisor Andrew Boyar said he will seek final approval of the budget. The early budget approval, before scheduled November 5 elections, would be the first in Sullivan County, Boyar said.
The budget hearing will follow 6:45 p.m. hearings for the Yulan and Highland Lake fire departments, the American Legion Ambulance Service and the Sunshine Hall Library. Those budgets traditionally receive little or no public comment and are quickly completed.
In other business, the town received two bids for demolition, under the unsafe building ordinance, of the Lang property in Washington Lake.
Owner John Lang disputed Code Enforcement Officer David Keebler's report that no plans had been submitted to the town for demolition or repair of the property.
Lang said, "The plans are there. I gave them to Keebler and he said they're fine."
Noting Keebler's report again, Boyar said "We have a dispute here."
He asked Lang to meet with him on October 14 to "see if we can arrange something."
A demolition permit for the property expires on November 18.
Separately, Boyar reported that Town of Highland Chief Constable Mike Walton had been instrumental in the identification and subsequent Pennsylvania arrest of Kevin Lemma, 22 of Holbrook, for the September 24 robbery of the Eldred branch of the First National Bank of Jeffersonville.
Walton said he recalled stopping a vehicle matching the suspected getaway car earlier in the town. Finding a known occupant later, he questioned him, which led to Lemma's arrest by state police in Pennsylvania.
Boyar also reported that Councilman Scott Hallock's inquiries have determined that the state office of emergency management (SEMO) has funds to aid in the relocation of municipal facilities having significant flooding exposure, and that the town's highway garage may be eligible. Boyar, Hallock and highway superintendent Tom Ebers were to meet with SEMO representative at the town hall at 10 a.m. on October 17 to discuss the town's long-held plan to relocate the highway department to town-owned property behind the senior citizens center.
The board last week also re-appointed Claire Sullivan to the town's board of assessment review.
They also re-authorized the annual Halloween curfew between 5 p.m. on Wednesday, October 30 and 5 a.m., on Friday, November 1. The curfew prohibits anyone under 18 from congregating on public streets or private property without the permission of owners or managers; trespassing on town property between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. unless participating in a town event; and possessing any items that could be used to cause vandalism at any time during the curfew.

Love can hurt. But divorce can hurt even more, especially if you are a celebrity. Here are some of the stars' most expensive splits.
After nearly 24 years of marriage, including the reality TV series "Hogan Knows Best," Hulk Hogan's wife Linda filed for divorce in 2007. The couple worked out a settlement that gave Linda Hogan $30 million when the divorce was finalized in 2009.

Put a baking sheet in the oven at 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the flour, salt and baking powder into a food processor, then whizz in the butter until it disappears. Pulse in the sugar, tip into a large bowl, then make a well in the middle.
Warm the yogurt, milk and vanilla together in the microwave for 1 min or in a pan; it should be hot and may well go a bit lumpy-looking. Tip into the bowl and quickly work into the flour mix using a cutlery knife. As soon as it's all in, stop.
Tip the dough onto a floured surface, then, with floured hands, fold the dough over a few times – just enough to create a smoothish dough. Press out to about 4cm/1½in thick, dip a 7cm cutter into more flour, then stamp out 4 rounds, flouring the cutter each time. Squash the remainder lightly together, then repeat until the dough is used up. Brush tops with egg wash, scatter flour over the hot sheet, then lift the scones on. Bake for 12 mins until risen and golden. Best eaten just-warm, or on the day.
Add 85g sultanas or chopped glacé cherries in with the sugar if you like.
Freezing tip
To freeze for up to a month, seal cold baked scones into freezer bags, squeezing out any air. Defrost at room temperature, then heat in a low oven for a few mins to perk them up.

I have been making scones for years and usually stick to the same recipe but fancied a change. Goodness knows how I went wrong but I followed the recipe exactly and they were truly awful. Stayed stodgy in the middle so I think too much liquid in recipe. I was expecting them to rise but they stayed the same height as when they went in the oven. Needless to say I will be going back to my original recipe.
Very tasty. I made these for my mum who has type 2 diabetes, so changed the flour to wholegrain spelt, xylitol instead of castor sugar and pure sunflower spread in place of the butter. They still came out okay, (a bit splayed out once cooked), but taste divine! Thanks for this recipe - the yoghurt and whole milk to replace buttermilk was just the ticket!
Thought this recipe was great, I made the scones without any sugar and tripled the ingredients to make a batch of 12 and enough for more tomorrow. Surprised how quick and easy it was. I also used extra yogurt rather than the milk as described as I had a large tub that needed using up. Served them to hungry family straight from the oven with plum jam and they were a big hit!
Questions (4)
How could I adapt this recipe to make treacle scones please?
I tried adding 2 tbsp of treacle instead of the milk. I also added 1 tsp of cinnamon, mixed spice and ginger to the flour and took out the vanilla.
The scones tasted good but didnt rise as much as the orginal recipe, which are always fluffy and delicious.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Evie.
Tips (1)
These were so easy and light as a feather.
I had some left over sour cream to use up so I used that in place of the yogurt.
I also added 150g raisins. They were amazing and light! Think the tip is not to handle the dough too much. I have never had much success with scones in the past but these went like hot cakes! (my hubby ate 4 back to back!)

A timetable for Lincoln's journey was supplied to the press. From the moment the train departed Springfield, anyone wishing to cause harm would be able to track his movements in unprecedented detail, even, at some points, down to the minute. All the while, moreover, Lincoln continued to receive daily threats of death by bullet, knife, poisoned ink—and, in one instance, spider-filled dumpling.
In Baltimore, meanwhile, Davies set to work cultivating the friendship of a young man named Otis K. Hillard, a hard-drinking regular of Barnum's. Hillard, according to Pinkerton, "was one of the fast 'bloods' of the city." On his chest he wore a gold badge stamped with a palmetto, the symbol of South Carolina's secession. Hillard had recently signed on as a lieutenant in the Palmetto Guards, one of several secret military organizations springing up in Baltimore.
Pinkerton had targeted Hillard because of his association with Barnum's. "The visitors from all portions of the South located at this house," Pinkerton noted, "and in the evenings the corridors and parlors would be thronged by the long-haired gentlemen who represented the aristocracy of the slaveholding interests."
Although Davies claimed to have come to Baltimore on business, at every turn, he quietly insinuated that he was far more interested in matters of "rebeldom." Davies and Hillard soon became inseparable.
Just before 7:30 on the morning of Monday, February 11, 1861, Abraham Lincoln began knotting a hank of rope around his traveling cases. When the trunks were neatly bundled, he hastily scrawled an address: "A. Lincoln, White House, Washington, D.C." At the stroke of 8 o'clock, the train bells sounded, signaling the hour of departure from Springfield. Lincoln turned to face the crowd from the rear platform. "My friends," he said, "no one, not in my situation, can appreciate my feeling of sadness at this parting. To this place, and the kindness of these people, I owe everything...I now leave, not knowing when or whether I may return, to a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington." Moments later, the Lincoln Special gathered steam and pushed east toward Indianapolis.
The next day, Tuesday, February 12, a significant break came for Pinkerton and Davies. In Davies' room, he and Hillard sat talking into the early hours of the morning. "[Hillard] then asked me," Davies reported later, "if I had seen a statement of Lincoln's route to Washington City." Davies lifted his head, at last catching sight of a foothold among all the slippery hearsay.
Hillard outlined his knowledge of a coded system that would allow the president-elect's train to be tracked from stop to stop, even if telegraph communications were being monitored for suspicious activity. The codes, he continued, were only a small part of a larger design. "My friend," Hillard said grimly, "that is what I would like to tell you, but I dare not—I wish I could—anything almost I would be willing to do for you, but to tell you that I dare not." As the two men parted, Hillard cautioned Davies to say nothing of what had passed between them.
Meanwhile, Pinkerton, posing as the gregarious stockbroker Hutchinson, was engaged in a running debate with businessman James H. Luckett, who occupied a neighboring office.
The detective steered the conversation toward Lincoln's impending passage through Baltimore. At the mention of Lincoln's journey, Luckett turned suddenly cautious. "He may pass through quietly," Luckett said, "but I doubt it."

What's your favorite season? No matter how you answer, the Michigan Historical Museum in Lansing has you covered with its new exhibit which explores Michigan weather in all seasons! Today, chief curator Maria Leiby gives us the inside scoop.
The exhibit takes its title, Lake Effects, from a major influence on our weather—the Great Lakes that surround us. Weather systems generally approach Michigan from the west or south, but the lakes add interesting twists in all seasons.
The Lake Effects exhibit is open now until Aug. 24, 2014 at the Michigan Historical Center.
Everyone who's ever lived in Michigan, from Paleo-Indians thousands of years ago to school kids today has paid attention to the weather. In addition to information about earlier ways of predicting the weather, the exhibit looks at how Michiganians' work and play are weather-influenced. Artifacts as varied as early spouts for collecting maple sap, a lightning rod from the Traverse City State Hospital, hunting decoys and a circa 1970 brown-and-orange snowmobile suit build a seasonal mosaic that gives visitors of all ages opportunities to learn, reminisce and tell family stories.
The exhibit also focuses on memorable weather events from Michigan's past. Survivors of the tragic Great Lakes storm of November 1913 may have passed from the scene, but you might know someone who remembers the heat wave of 1936, one of Lansing's numerous 20th century floods or an opening day at Tiger Stadium when the weather was actually spring-like!
Younger visitors can offer a weather report or forecast at a magnetic weather map or dress a magnetic figure for the weather — actual or hoped for. A full slate of programming beginning in December includes monthly family sessions on second Saturdays, a spring kite festival and an exploration of extreme weather.
The museum also invites you to share photos of your Michigan weather experiences on our Flickr page. Send them to email@example.com with the photo title in the subject line. You can include the story in the body of the message.
For more information about visiting the Michigan Historical Center in Lansing, including admission fees and hours of operation, go to www.michigan.gov/museum. Admission to Lake Effects is included in the regular admission price each day. While at the Center, don't forget to visit the museum's store for several Michigan-related books and gift options.
What do you love about Michigan weather?
Maria Leiby is the chief curator of the Michigan Historical Museum.

Mark Edwards, Sports Editor. Call me on 01865 425451 / / U's News
The leader of a group of Oxfordshire businessmen who have launched a takeover bid for Oxford United, says they have the financial muscle to take the club forward.
Charlie Methven confirmed last night that talks have taken place between his consortium and U's owner Ian Lenagan.
However, the United supporter doubted they were the frontrunners, with a rival group, led by Mark Ashton, believed to still be in pole position to take control.
Methven, who has been working in an advisory role with the U's, says his group have spoken to Lenagan and will provide him with an "alternative option".
"We approached the owner about a month ago and indicated that if the club came up for sale, we would be interested," Methven said.
"We held conversations that were both friendly and constructive.
"Those conversations have dried up in recent weeks, I am not sure exactly why, but it might indicate that somebody is in a stronger position than us."
He added: "In previous years when Oxford United have been in difficulties, there has only been one offer on the table.
"I do not believe this is healthy, and so we are keen to provide an alternative option.
"We have raised significant funds, and feel the amount would be sufficient.
"However, we could have more funds as a back-up if needed.
"We have given a firm indication we would be interested, and believe Ian was grateful for that interest."
The situation has arisen due to speculation the United chairman is unwilling to continue pouring money into a club which has lost more than £1m for two successive years.
The latest available accounts, which cover the 12 months up to the end of June 2013, show Lenagan's total investment, through his Woodstock Partners Ltd company, was in excess of £6m.
Methven is hoping his group's affinity with Oxford United could work in their favour.
"I have, and remain, a major supporter of what the Lenagans have done," Methven said.
"They have put a number of very good things in place at the club, and I was concerned – and still am – that whoever comes in, if they are an unknown quantity, won't be the best people to complete those things."
Methven was appointed as a trustee of the Oxford United Youth and Community Sports Trust in May 2011 and last year played a key role in setting up fans' group the Yellow Army.
His name was revealed in a statement from supporters' trust OxVox, whose calls for Lenagan to break his silence and put fans in the picture of developments have fallen on deaf ears.
The U's owner has still to return any calls from the Oxford Mail or reply to any of our requests for an interview.

In a long life of 91 years, R.C. Hoiles saw it all. From the "rugged individualism" that still marked America at the time of his birth on Nov. 24, 1878, to the rise of socialist and communist ideas and policies in the 1920s and 1930s – especially in Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia – to the "planned" economies of the 1940s to the 1960s, through the beginnings of the resurgence of free-market economics just before his death in 1970.
So we mark the 128th anniversary of the birth of Hoiles, the founder of Freedom Communications Inc., this newspaper's parent company. Freedom publishes 30 daily and 40 weekly newspapers and broadcasts from eight TV stations, nationwide. It also has an expanding Internet presence.
What set Hoiles apart from most newspaper owners was his deep and abiding interest in advancing human freedom, even during some of its darkest hours. His faith never flagged that humans, left free, could reach remarkable levels of achievement.
"I have faith that in free enterprise the gain or profit of one is the gain of all," he wrote in a personal credo published on Nov. 24, 1953, "A Few of the Things I Have Faith In." "I have faith that competition will create both material and spiritual development. … I have faith in work. … I have faith that it is more blessed to give than to receive."
Hoiles is still remembered as a nice older gentleman who loved to discuss the philosophy of liberty – such as his belief that "the government schools," as he called them, should be made private, or government should be run through voluntary contributions rather than taxes forcibly taken from citizens. He always had a pamphlet or two to press into a person's hands.
Perhaps his finest hour came during World War II, when he defended the 110,000 Japanese-Americans who had been taken from their homes – even though there was no evidence to show they were anything other than loyal Americans – and sent to relocation camps in America's interior. Freedom newspapers were among the very few that defended the Japanese-Americans' constitutional rights.
"Few, if any, people ever believed that evacuation of the Japanese was constitutional," he wrote in an editorial published Oct. 14, 1942. "It was a result of emotion and fright rather than being in harmony with the Constitution and the inherent rights that belong to all citizens."
Of course, today the injustice done to the Japanese-Americans is recognized everywhere, and in 1988 the federal government made reparations. But at the time, Hoiles' was one of the few, lonely voices defending the defenseless.
Hoiles' descendants still control Freedom Communications and remain dedicated to the "freedom philosophy," as it's called around the company.
Hoiles' legacy endures through the journalism of Freedom newspapers, TV stations and Web sites.

World Cup roundup: Suarez goals spark UruguayTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | June 20,2014AP PHOTO
Uruguays Nicolas Lodeiro is tripped up by Englands Wayne Rooney during the group D World Cup soccer match between Uruguay and England at the Itaquerao Stadium in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on Thursday.SAO PAULO Luis Suarez scored twice to give Uruguay a 2-1 victory over England at the World Cup on Thursday, making an instant impact on his return from injury to revive his teams Group D campaign.
The striker lashed in the winner in the 85th minute, after seeing his first-half opener canceled out by Wayne Rooney. The win gave Uruguays qualifying chances a major lift and left Englands hopes of advancing to the round of 16 in real jeopardy.
Suarez, who hadnt played for more than a month after undergoing knee surgery, is the Uruguay player who knows this England side best, having played for Liverpool for more than three years.
And by taking his World Cup tally to five goals, Suarez ensured that Rooneys first-ever goal on footballs biggest stage was in vain at his third tournament.
Rooney tapped the ball home from close range in the 75th minute after connecting with Glen Johnsons pass. Having also lost against Italy, England now faces the prospect of not advancing from the group stage for the first time since 1958.
Group D leader Italy and Costa Rica, who both have three points, meet for their second group game on Friday. Uruguay now has three points, having lost its opener to the Costa Ricans, while England is on zero points after consecutive defeats following its losing start to Italy.
It is in the England where Suarez has stepped up a level and powered in the goals that saw him voted the Premier Leagues best player last season. And despite lacking sharpness at times, he still managed to recapture the scoring form that helped Liverpool finish second last season with 31 goals.
Suarez was in the thick of the action in the opening minutes against an edgy England side. Goalkeeper Joe Harts first save came after Suarezs cross-shot was deflected off the head of Gary Cahill.
As England was struggling to contain Uruguay, the first blow came just before halftime when Diego Godin picked up possession on the halfway line and sprayed it to Edinson Cavani on the left. Suarez easily evaded Phil Jagielka to head over Hart, seizing on defensive lapses just as Mario Balotelli did in Italys win.
Sturridge had a chance to quickly cancel out his Liverpool teammates goal but was denied at the far post.
Uruguay could have extended its lead at the start of the second half, with Suarezs corner appearing to be curling into the net until Hart batted the ball away, and Cavani cutting in from the left but only slicing the shot wide.
Although after several chances, Rooney ended his World Cup hoodoo it was rendered meaningless by Suarezs devastating final touch.
Suarezs Liverpool teammate, England captain Steven Gerrard, tried to clear a long punt by Uruguay goalkeeper Fernando Muslera, and the ball glanced off the head of midfielder and back toward his own goal. Suarez ran onto it and beat Hart with a right-footed shot from about nine yards.
Now it is Uruguay back on track going into its game against Italy on Tuesday, when England faces a must-win match against Costa Rica.
Colombia 2, Ivory Coast 1
BRASILIA, Brazil Colombia moved to the verge of qualifying for the World Cups knockout stage on Thursday, beating Ivory Coast 2-1 after scoring twice in a devastating six-minute spell in the second half.
Driven on by a partisan pro-Colombian crowd inside the Estadio Nacional, the South Americans went ahead through James Rodriguezs powerful header from a corner in the 64th minute before substitute Juan Quintero added a second on a break following a defensive error.
Colombia held onto its lead, despite a brilliant 73rd-minute goal by Gervinho, for a second straight win in Group C. Colombia almost assured of reaching the second round for the time in the countrys history. Since 1998, every team that has earned six points in the group stage has advanced.
Instead of Radamel Falcao, the brilliant Monaco striker who was ruled out through injury before the tournament, the most important factor in Colombias march through the group stage has arguably been its amazing support.
With supporters wearing yellow shirts dominating the stadium, it was effectively an away game for the Ivorians who remain on three points after their 2-1 opening win over Japan.
It was extraordinary, Rodriguez said, it was very much in our favor that Colombia could win.
The crowd roared with relief at the final whistle after Ivory Coasts strong finish.
I must say that we didnt deserve to lose, Ivory Coast coach Sabri Lamouchi said. It was very experienced Colombia team who waited for us to make mistakes.
With Yaya Toure starting flatly and Didier Drogba again starting on the bench, Ivory Coast threatened only through long-range shots in a first half marked by a comic moment when a large inflatable ball bounced onto the playing surface, causing a brief stoppage.
The best chance of the first half was spurned by Teofilo Gutierrez, who miscued a volley with the goal at his mercy after being perfectly set up by Rodriguezs left-wing cross in the 28th.
Juan Cuadrado lit up a cagey opening to the second half by bringing down a long pass, shimmying past his marker and rifling a powerful shot that was tipped onto the crossbar by goalkeeper Boubacar Barry. Inside a stadium named after 1960s World Cup star Mane Garrincha, it was a piece of right-wing trickery that the Brazil great would have enjoyed.
Drogba entered on the hour, to a mixture of jeers and applause, but he was found wanting in the leadup to Rodriguezs goal four minutes later, the playmaker beating him to Cuadrados corner and heading powerfully into the net for his second goal of the tournament.
The celebrations had hardly died down when Ivory Coast midfielder Serey Die was dispossessed inside his own half, allowing Gutierrez to create a chance for Quintero, who made no mistake with a side-foot finish.
In a frenetic last quarter of the match, Ivory Coast driven by Drogba finished strongly.
Gervinhos goal was one of the best pieces of individual skill so far at this World Cup, the Roma winger skipping between two defenders, cutting inside a third and beating David Ospina at his near post. But there was to be no equalizer.
Greece 0, Japan 0
NATAL, Brazil Reduced to 10 men after captain Costas Katsouranis was sent off in the 38th minute with his second booking, Greece held on for a 0-0 draw with Japan on Thursday that keeps both alive in Group C and sends rival Colombia to the next round of the World Cup.
Both teams inserted new strikers in search of goals and a first victory, but ultimately the goal was survival and both did that with one match left in group play. Japan would have been eliminated with a loss.
Once Katsouaranis was sent off after a rough challenge on Makoto Hasebe, Greece withdrew into a defensive setup and held firm. Greece surrendered three goals in a loss to Colombia, but even short-handed was better organized against Japan and avoided any critical mistakes.MORE IN Wire SportsORLANDO, Fla.

With plenty of protection from the road, the Mizuno Wave Enigma 2 features an accommodating upper that should fit a wide range of foot shapes.
Cushioning is the calling of the Enigma 2, and it shows in the impact protection that the shoe provides. The full length Wave plate does an excellent job of dissipating shock throughout ground contact. Our testers did find the cushioning to be firmer than we generally expect in the premium high mileage trainer category, making this a good match for runners who like a bit more responsiveness with their high-class ride.
After slipping the shoe on and walking around a bit, we thought the transition might be a little rough. There's a bit of a bump in the platform forward of the heel and a perceivable drop in midsole material below the toes. But we were pleasantly surprised with a very smooth ride when running in the shoe.
The upper of the Enigma 2 features a new stretchy mesh material that adapts to the shape of the foot, accommodating many foot shapes. Overheating is not an issue with the new upper material; the mesh is highly breathable.
The Enigma 2 improves upon the original model with a more forgiving upper. Falling in between the Wave Rider and Wave Creation in Mizuno's neutral lineup, the Enigma is an excellent choice for runners looking for more impact protection than a moderate-feature trainer such as the Wave Rider will provide. Compared to the Creation, it's a good choice if you prefer Mizuno's traditional Wave technology, versus the struts used in the heel of the Creation that disconnect the runner a bit more from the ground beneath.
The cushioning is not as soft as I would expect in this category of shoe. The Enigma is definitely firmer than, say, a Nimbus or a Vomero.
I personally felt the heel to be a bit too padded, but I think a runner with a narrower heel is going to love the fit of the heel.
The stretchy upper makes this shoe feel much more roomy. The original felt too tight in the forefoot to me; in version 2 my feet have more room to work.

(1) Recognition that migrations of disadvantaged workers, refugees and asylum-seekers result from an unjust global economic system that benefits transnational corporations at the expense of common people. Immigration results not only from the "pull" of economic opportunity here but also from the "push" of economic inequality and exploitation in developing societies. The "push" must be reduced by regulating the power of corporations and empowering workers and farmers both there and here.
(2) Appreciation for the fact that, according to a recent study by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, in the first decade after the immigration bill is implemented, the net effect of adding 10 million new legal residents/taxpayers would decrease the federal budget deficit by $197 billion, and in the following decade (2024-2033), the cut in the deficit would be a whopping $700 billion — a nearly $1 trillion reduction in the federal deficit during the next 20 years!
(3) All who contribute meaningful labor deserve full membership in a democratic society. Immigrant workers cannot fight for rights on the job and against exploitation by employers without having full legal status, political rights, and a pathway to citizenship. Threats of deportation and second-class status in "guest worker" programs restrict the capacity of workers to organize and improve their situation.
(4) Militarization of our borders, indiscriminate detentions and deportations, and the resulting forcible breakup of families — so hypocritical for a society professing to be family-friendly — must be replaced by policies that reinforce the values of family unity, hard work, fair compensation, compassion, and "liberty and justice for all."
Only such an immigration policy will be worthy of a nation that likes to think of itself as "great." Let's demand that our representatives in Washington recognize the benefits, put aside partisan wrangling, rise to the occasion, and pass such a policy.

On this day (April 1) in 1865, Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia and Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's Army of the Potomac waged the last of their major Civil War battles at Five Forks, Va. – a junction about 10 miles southwest of Petersburg.
In the early morning of this fateful rainy Saturday, Lee ordered Gen. George E. Pickett to, "Hold Five Forks at all hazards," which proved to be impossible. Superior Union forces under field commanders Gens. Philip H. Sheridan and Gourverneur Warren attacked and successfully dislodged the outmanned Confederate forces at Five Forks.
Deemed a Union victory because it forced Lee to abandon his plan to break out from the ever-tightening siege at Petersburg and escape southward via the Southside Railroad and join Gen. Joseph E. Johnston's Confederate army in North Carolina, it additionally forced him to evacuate Petersburg and the Confederate capital city of Richmond.
On April 2, 1865, Confederate President Jefferson Davis, who days earlier sent his family southward, led the morning Confederate evacuation of Richmond and headed south. Thereupon, Union forces entered the Confederate capital to a scene of utter confusion and raging fires started by Confederates destroying government documents and looters.
President Abraham Lincoln, who was a guest of General Grant at his nearby army headquarters at City Point, Va., toured with his 12-year-old son, Tad, the almost completely destroyed capital city April 4. The presidential party traveled up the James River from City Point on the USS Malvern and landed in Richmond near the infamous Libby Prison.
Upon his arrival, Lincoln was confronted by a group of African-Americans, one of whom exclaimed, "Bless the Lord, there is the great Messiah!" and knelt down before the president. Lincoln quickly responded that "you must kneel to God only, and thank Him for the liberty you will hereafter enjoy."
With his small escort, Lincoln wanted to tour the Confederate White House. He sat in the Confederate president's office chair and was heard to exclaim, "Thank God that I have lived to see this. It seems to me that I have been dreaming a horrid dream for four years, and now the nightmare is over."
Lee, for his part, was forced to take his beaten army westward (not southward) hoping to somehow later be able to link up with Johnston's forces in the Carolinas. On April 7, Grant wrote Lee that "the result of the last week must convince you of the hopelessness of further resistance on the part of the Army of Northern Virginia in this struggle. I feel ... it is my duty to shift from myself the responsibility of any further effusion of blood."
The following day, Lee replied to Grant that he did not agree with "the opinion you express of the hopelessness of further resistance," however, "I reciprocate your desire to avoid useless effusion of blood, and, therefore, ... ask the terms you will offer on condition of its surrender."
On April 8, a number of Lee's subordinate generals confronted him with the unpleasant fact that the army was trapped and would not be able to break out and join Johnston. They then urged their commander to commence surrender negotiations, which he did.
The Confederate defeat at the Battle of Five Forks led inevitably to the Palm Sunday, April 9, 1865, celebrated surrender of Lee's the Army of Northern Virginia to Grant at the home of Wilmer McLean at Appomattox Court House.

One Disease – Cellular Disease
The conventional medical model lists hundreds of diseases and thousands of remedies for treating these diseases or their symptoms. More than 40 percent of Americans take at least one prescription drug and one-in-six takes at least three. There are currently over 600 approved cancer drugs. This palliative approach in no time will have you take a pill for cholesterol, a beta blocker for the heart, calcium for your bones, and so forth. In most cases these remedies are prescribed for alleviating or controlling the symptom(s) as in the case of blood pressure medication, or insulin for diabetes. Meanwhile, the initial causes of the disease are rarely addressed. Often, practitioners of the alternative medicine model will do the same; enzymes for poor digestion, antioxidants for low immunity, etc. I call this approach of treating the symptom "fighting the battle, loosing the war". What then is this war that we must win?
In a "purist" wholistic health perspective, disease (non-health) is demystified. Let's be realistic; disease and their symptoms reside first at the cellular level. Let's even be scientific; after all, we are made up of hundreds of trillions of living intelligent cells which in turn make up our organs, bones, tissues, blood and brain. In this model, unhealthy cells lead to unhealthy organs, unhealthy organs lead to deficient metabolic activities, and this in turn leads to symptoms, which we name disease as in hypoglycemia. It is safe to say that once you are diagnosed with a disease, that the problem is usually systemic, and bigger than just the symptoms. Usually, the causes that lead to disease have been manifest in every cell of your body for some time. We don't catch diseases, we make them. In the wholistic view, disease is at the cellular level.

"Between heresy and schism there is this difference, that heresy perverts dogma, while schism, by rebellion against the bishop, separates from the Church. Nevertheless there is no schism which does not trump up a heresy to justify its departure from the Church."
~ St. Jerome, (In Ep. ad Tit., iii, 10), remarking on how practically and historically, heresy and schism nearly always go hand in hand.

Tomorrow marks the 3 year anniversary of, Who Are You Now? Also tomorrow, we'll pile back into our big red van and head east on our first USA tour since the "'Bout Damn Time Tour" almost 2 years ago. That was our first headlining tour. Ever. It took us 2 record deals, 3 albums and 5 years of steady touring just to get to that point. Hence the name of the tour.
I imagine you might be asking yourselves why everything takes so damn long when it comes to This Providence. Well I'll be honest, I don't have a good answer for that. I suppose I could have a cry and go on whining about how the last 9 years have been an uphill battle, but I'm over that sort of nonsense. Perhaps that's the very attitude that has held us back from fully realizing our dreams.

Customs & Compliance
In order for you to realize significant and quantifiable savings, Expeditors provides innovative approaches to global customs programs. Our approach is to determine how value can best be added to your processes. We look at your customs "value stream," which includes compliance, release and analysis, as a way of effectively managing cost.
As a compliance-driven organization, we are positioned to understand and address the intricacies of trade regulations and agreements at the global, regional, national and local levels.
Our systems are developed to create innovative technological processes that support a global product with local requirements. Commonality is achieved by focusing on the three elements of a strong customs process-strict compliance with regulations, reliable release timing and strong valuable data.
We strive to be welcomed and respected by all government agencies, where allowed. In many countries Expeditors is invited to participate in pilot programs with Customs and is often invited to give input on program changes. For example, we have been on the forefront of working with various EU Customs authorities in developing applications to handle programs such as frontier declarations with a control process between the issuing agent and the filer of the supplemental declaration. We have the ability to easily manage and control this process where simplified entry procedures exist and several freight forwarding agents provide customs services to the importer.
By utilizing Expeditors for your customs needs, you can better manage your program and:
- Meet the requirements of the ever-changing regulatory environment.
- File your import, export and security declarations electronically.
- Enhance existing customs compliance programs, such as free trade zones, special regimes, border crossing and trade preferences.
- Minimize risk and future potential costs of non-compliance.
For information on how we can help with your customs and compliance needs, contact your local Expeditors representative.

On view
A native of Naples, Corrado Giaquinto was an early exponent of the Italian Rococo, a style characterized by its sumptuous color, exquisite surface finish and decorative appeal.
In 1762, Giaquinto embarked on his last great project, the decoration for the new sacristy of the Church of San Luigi in Palazzo in Naples (since destroyed). The seven paintings, executed in fresco and oil, illustrate scenes from the life of the Virgin. Marriage of the Virgin is one of only four that have survived. The underlying theme of the decorative cycle is the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, the belief that Mary was conceived without Original Sin.
