YUCAIPA - It was business as usual for the Yucaipa High School cross country team and a day of firsts for others at Saturday's 42nd Yucaipa Invitational.
The Yucaipa boys and girls teams captured first place in the Division 1 races, and Yucaipa's Tori Dutchover clocked the best girls time at 17 minutes, 38 seconds. She was just ahead of La Quinta's Megan Huebner, who also finished in an official time of 17:38.
Sophomore Michael Teran of Jurupa Hills had the day's top overall time of 15.41.
"She ( Huebner) pushed me the whole race. I've heard about her. She's as good as they say," Dutchover said. "After the second mile she wasn't slowing down. We were neck and neck. Then it turned into a mental thing. I kept saying to myself, `I want this. I want this.' "
The Yucaipa girls earned their medal with 22 points, well ahead of Etiwanda's 68.
The defending San Andreas League champion Pacific girls and boys came up with surprise finishers, with Tiffany Garcia leading the girls to the Division 3 championship in an event shortened to two miles because of 95-degree heat.
The Pacific girls (46) placed ahead of Citrus Valley (62) and Cajon (68).
Citrus Valley sophomore Sydney Lachausse won the Division 3 first-place medal.
In that division's boys race, Citrus Valley (46) won its first major cross country team championship in school history by finishing ahead of Cajon (87). Luis Arreola finished first for the first time in four years running for Pacific.
"There were good runners here and I did not expect to win. In the last mile, I noticed the guy in first slowing. I took the lead in the last mile and kept it," Arreola said.
"No I didn't think he'd win but I thought he could," Pacific coach Miguel Diego said. "He keeps working and gets better and better."
Citrus Valley picked up its first-place boys trophy after Trevor Capestany finished fourth at 16:58, followed by Aidan Morris at 17:02 and Kevin Maeda at 17:07.
"Midway, I thought we had a chance, then I thought we might, then we can. Then we will," Citrus Valley coach Lorenzo Mota said.
Teran said the rolling hills of Yucaipa are no place for a personal best. Teran's 15:41 was well above his 14:58 best turned in two weeks ago at the Woodbridge Invitational.
"Yucaipa is a fun course. I was patient. At two miles I took the lead. I never looked back," Teran said.
Teran's effort could not push Jurupa Hills past Yucaipa's team-leading 1:22:13 composite time. Jurupa Hills' top six averaged 1:21:49.
Senior Kris Mazich was Yucaipa's top boys finisher at 16:07, placing third behind Bradley Wiggs of Quartz Hill at 15:58.
"A lot of guys were disappointed with our times. We performed well but not good enough," Mazich said.
Cajon coach Eric Abrams said he was impressed by his runner Justin Doyle, who fell early in the race but went from 51st to third (16:53).
Abrams said the Yucaipa Invitational gives his team a chance to have an early race on the league finals course.
Cajon freshman Samantha Poliakon finished third while Katie Deimling of Granite Hills won the D-3 girls race at 18:43.
Yucaipa coach Jason Carney said his boys team got split up during the race and its strategy had to change on the run.
"It was a good learning experience," Carney said.
Behind Dutchover, his girls were led behind top-eight finishers, Justine Jackson, Kendai Davis, Sydney Vollhardt and Kalin Tomlinson.
"The girls all surprised me, except for Tori (Dutchover)," Carney said. "She continues to amaze me."

New Zion Shiloh Shepherds Lisa Barber Cashed & Kept $400 Deposit-No Puppies Fillmore New York
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
We had gotten a previous Shiloh Shepherd from New Zion back in 2002 however, it came from Lisa's Mom Tina Barber. After putting our Shepherd down the end of July 2013 I phoned New Zion Shiloh to inquire about getting a new puppy. I spoke to Lisa for over a half hour. She told me a litter was due in less than 2 weeks around 8/11/13. Went on to say a deposit will get us a pick from the puppies she would choose from the litter that she felt would be suitable for us. Told me she would post pictures of the puppies one week after they were born and to count 8 weeks after for a pick up date. I sent my $400 deposit out on 8/2/13 and Lisa Barber cashed it on 8/5/13. In my application I had asked her to please let me know when it was received and if all was okay with it. I had to check online my bank statement to see that she had cashed my check since she didn't have the time to respond. I started e-mailing her about a week after the puppies due date. I didn't get a response until 8/27/13. A very short e-mail telling me no puppies were born and to call her cell number the following day to discuss litters. That was it. No explanation. Nothing. I did call her cell number as instructed the next day. Left a message with no response. I have since left several phone messages on her cell and countless e-mails because the phone number on her website rings endlessly with no machine. Since she cannot even take the time to be in touch with me I no longer want a puppy from her. I started asking for my deposit back on 9/1/13 in a phone message, e-mail and a certified letter. To date she has not returned my $400.00 deposit. She sure didn't have trouble cashing it. I regret not doing an internet search on her name and New Zion Shiloh. It would have shown me I was not alone. I have since been in touch with other breeders who could not believe how she is running this business. I want my money returned to me.

To date Lisa Barber has still not responded to me nor returned my $400 deposit. One has to wonder why she can't find the time to respond to the Better Business Bureau either. I would think you would want to give your side of the story. On second thought there is a very good reason why she doesn't respond. She clearly does not have a reason for keeping my money. Very bad way to do business!

A Young Folks' History of the Church HTML version
As soon as it was known that Joseph had the plates, many evil-minded persons tried to
get them from him, and he had to hide them in different places to keep them safe. Mobs
began to surround his house, men tried to catch him on the roads or in the fields, and he
was even shot at a number of times. Joseph now saw how timely the angel's warning was.
Living thus in constant fear, Joseph could not do anything towards translating the
records; so he moved, with his wife, to her old home in Pennsylvania. While on the way
an officer overtook him and searched his wagon for the plates, but could not find them.
They were there, however, safely hidden in a barrel of beans.
Arriving in Harmony, where his father-in-law lived, Joseph began to translate some of
the writings on the plates. As Joseph was a slow writer he did not make much progress,
and so he asked the Lord to send someone to help him. In answer to this request a man by
the name of Martin Harris came to him from Palmyra, New York. Now the work went
better. Martin wrote while Joseph translated.
They had translated one hundred and sixteen written pages, when Martin asked Joseph to
let him take the writings and show them to some of his friends. Joseph asked the Lord
about it, and the answer was that he must not; but Martin kept on teasing Joseph till at
last the Lord permitted him to show them to certain persons. But Martin showed them to
others, and the writings were lost. The Lord was displeased at this, and told Joseph not to
translate the same over again, but to write from another part of the plates which told
about the same events. However, the Urim and Thummim was taken from Joseph for a
short time, and when he received it again, his wife Emma wrote a little for him.
Now the Lord sent another helper to Joseph. He was a young school teacher, named
Oliver Cowdery, and these two men worked hard at the translation. You will remember
that Joseph was poor, and it seemed they would have to stop translating and find other
work whereby to earn means to live. They were now also again annoyed by evil men and
In the midst of this trouble the Lord sent aid again. A man named Joseph Knight came to
them with provisions, and soon after Joseph was visited by a young man named David
Whitmer, who came to invite them to his father's house in Fayette, Seneca county, New
York. This invitation was gladly accepted, and Joseph and Oliver went back with him.
At the Whitmers' they lived and labored in peace until the work was completed. David,
John, and Peter, sons of Peter Whitmer, Sen., helped all they could, and soon the book
was ready to be printed. Martin Harris also helped Joseph in getting out the work. The
first edition of five thousand copies was printed in Palmyra, in 1830. Since then the book
has been printed in many languages and read by many thousands of people. It is called
THE BOOK OF MORMON. The next chapter will tell you why it is so called, and a little
of what it contains.
Topics.—1. Joseph's visits to Cumorah. 2. Joseph in Pennsylvania. 3. Description of the
plates and Urim and Thummim. 4. The translation.
Questions and Review.—1. Where is the hill Cumorah? 2. What did Joseph find there?
3. Why did not Joseph carry away the plates the first time? 4. How many visits did he
make to Cumorah? 5. Where did Joseph go to work? 6. Whom did he marry? 7. When did
Joseph get the plates? 8. Describe the plates. 9. What was the Urim and Thummim? 10.

John and Gerry continue the NBA talk as they're joined by ESPN analyst Tim Legler, who helps them to breakdown the Celtics loss the the Heat. Legler also analyzes how the new-look Celtics played in their first game and how this team looks to gel down the road.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
Welcome back Dennis and Callahan it is always a pleasure to welcome one -- most informative guests we ever have on this program ESPN's basketball NBA analyst Tim let -- Joins us on the AT&T hotline AT&T -- LT is good morning Tim how aria. I did anything you saw last night he's -- or did anything -- plot about the heat and Celtics change based on what you saw last night. No not really I honestly going to this year actually the cute teaching career play in the Eastern Conference final I was actually despite fact Boston relished vocal -- like sensibly. I'm I've brought -- not a whole lot of resistance to Miami. I still think they're going to be better team this year they were a year ago and the Miami Heat right now clearly -- they're investing in the east. And it showed it last night a little bit surprised that Miami is that effective offensively this early this season. They're typically a bit slower -- gate. To get going the last couple years but last night really -- essentially they executed. And shot the ball as -- they were in that she's in form so like a lot of credit to their little short. Timmy and I'll talk radio works we are all about knee jerk reactions to very small sample sizes -- wanna know. Can we accurately conclude that of both the heat and the Celtics played to their maximum potential. The heat win the vast majority of the games. I think so -- -- virtually right now they are you know they weren't chippy -- year ago and you can just television and more relaxed told about thirteen they also went out at a reality at a Rashard Lewis. This is routine that now is just very very. The culprit the friendly and they were last year but there was also time last year wouldn't you offensively. You know you kind of knew they would go restriction and stretched their struggle to make -- -- -- good job of protecting Elaine. And now when you add those two guys -- -- -- you know who. Their primary -- good -- or not their perimeter shots and try to load up on the project straight away they just had so much more ballots in our lineup now they're going to be a more difficult to defend. So -- think both teams played their best basketball. Of my reach -- better swing but. We both know that not every team plays its best basketball whether passed through and therefore you know it's it's you know that's been. Far too premature to conclude that the Boston Celtics would have a chance. To get back to the NBA finals because you don't know. -- beat -- -- agent -- cup finals again. You you don't know at that time you know what kind of injuries taken place car rid of those teams. And bought the sort sure that you pedigree they took the seven games a year ago I guess in Boston we'd better this year as well as Miami Denver. Well we saw when LeBron went out with the cramps in the -- caught up we saw one thing that could bring the heat. Dynasty down. If LeBron goes out of LeBron roles and ankle other than that how. It would give a scenario where the Celtics could actually overtake Miami in the regular season or in the playoffs. Well I think the biggest thing is it to me in Boston. Clearly wasn't close to Rutgers are going to be defensively last night. A idea to bring you baskets and keep -- your puppy baskets -- you know taken note during the game. You know and and I stopped take note that fourth quarter. But Miami had a pretty big lead before Boston's comeback but no respect for example just basic. Plays defensively that. Were -- -- lost contact with their defender they turn their head basic fundamental things we got beat -- -- got beat off search result. Our gave up easy penetration -- pick and -- Because they -- -- lightened benchmark charmer tiptoed down the lately the ball and state like that Arctic and are gonna get tightened up to sort out on Boston's and so. -- he's really into Boston's best worst part was that quite I don't know how much better Miami to play that make it last night so. You know I think that's the wanting to give also Oakland. Analysts said in a -- -- ago that it over the issue as far as it also orders the Miami Heat are investing in India. Or why do you think I mean they got rid of they get rid of the lost you know -- ten time all star Ray Allen may be the best shooter of all time. We know the additions they made what makes you think sit here and now Tim that the Celtics are better now than they were a year ago. Well because I don't think there's going to be any appreciable loss in games of Kevin Garnett Paul Pierce. Rough ride on -- that you hope will continue to evolve as a player shortly hoped that he still continued to get better. With pierce Garnett they're saying look at what they have I do think Jeff Green even though he didn't show last they're very appreciate your configure. Fine eight he won't put them and if it mortified all -- A level production as the year goes ought to be better Jason -- at this stage of his career. Is it any more productive player that Ray Allen from the standpoint. Jason Terry do you think the basketball and running pick and roll and it being playmaker rail can't derail it. It's still not -- stop and start to open -- scoring threats. There's plutonium nights when Jason Terry is gonna make you forget about ray -- And the other part also coming here late picked up and spoke spoke last night now that's where he could do that every game. But with Jason -- and the other or both Kamal prepared they've got more scoring punch in the backcourt the world Specter at any time since the scrutiny that together. So QQ and you saw Brandon Bass I just think that the team. That ultimately. Will be better it's early and I know what you just -- a jerk reaction. We're gonna do to get killed there's overreaction here over analysis to take. Not not us -- we don't do that now we're gonna look at that did the big picture of the long -- hey do you think either team. Both teams are too small with a with a -- nights they'll be days when they appear. Where they are just too small and don't match up against bigger teams. Yeah there will definitely directly to -- Miami or conflict a year ago they proved ultimately that. You know divorce so here counselor got athleticism can make up for some of that. Boston looked real small glass but but but those -- probably a year ago you know there are different defense fifteen. That -- work early on during the run disregards. In what they everybody's struggling to all thought. Actually Kendrick Perkins that Shaquille O'Neal Jermaine O'Neal of the -- big body and -- back here underneath the rim. They were a different type of -- even have a guy like Glen Davis who took a coach Horton was always in the way. When you try to drive this is that it achieved that they're you know Kevin and mr. Pickett died most of the time at fort he has not. Great as -- last -- -- deception either great defender out of the perimeter and defend multiple positions and where best to roll defenders of all time. -- -- -- But that's out of war chest and into clog the lane and neglect -- sentence and hit somebody. That's not really the strength and that's what ball and I thought they did at times last -- looked like what you've got -- initial defender. The local whole Lotta resistance in the lane. And I saw that I'd rather than a year ago and and that's. Who they got the personnel that they have on our roster now so that they've got to figure out you know -- -- -- that are -- with the rotation. And then they have to be so good offensively at times he'll make or what to give it up -- strictly and that's that's Miami's Travis as well. We're talking with -- ESPN's Tim Butler and Tim referencing the defensive deficiencies that we witness last night obviously a lot of that has to do with new guys new faces in new places and not I've -- continuity but I'm wondering when Avery Bradley comes back in mid December. What the influx of that kind of on ball defense of talent duke for the defensive group as a whole. It's huge because I was watching the game last night and I was looking for somebody. Could be chest chest with a with a perimeter player they really work left by the court inquiry. I -- early in the game. You know try to compete but there's also are not -- giving far too much ground to Dwyane Wade. And continue to give give give it accurately read -- overpowered you achieve continued to back up. So that you have to get him to -- Forced them to turn the corner or do you and then hope that -- -- slugger wrote in ballad get to rip. I thought they were soft and passive defense with the wall stretched to the program that's right. And every Bradley. Being able to professional basketball in our half court get up in the -- reached court it really worked at. It's contagious to arrest of your team that's we also pressuring the ball like that. Makes other defenders who aren't quite as quick it makes them quicker. Because now. You know a big guy the -- -- -- basketball being held it and it's -- -- prepared to deliver the ball to the diet you're guarding. So it crossed support in which really -- where its future. Catches thoughtful player clarity Utley went up all the pressure in their point of attack and that they program -- -- -- doc thinks that. Rajon Rondo is or may be the smartest player in the NBA but do you think dot worries about the maturity level of Rondo him. I'm sure sure that's up to that that keeps them open eight times. It's probably never gonna change. But looked -- around those guys they're not a dark couldn't believe last year as many firms are hurting and they've come up to trade reversed. He just the population and popular basketball games the one thing. At the hospital for this team to -- out and really make a serious for a title. I just think there are times indicating that -- has to be so much more wrestle Serbs will be looking for his own shot. In looking for little gain or whether to jump shot or not I would welcome more evolutionary jump shot having a better shouldn't -- -- supper for. But I'll probably -- -- just what he attacks and get to read it with those floaters -- work. And I enterprise that means you're looking for guys too much in need care. Because he's the quickest player of the floor apartment yeah out of the center. Matchup advantage they needed it will be more -- score. And not -- -- 68 miniature at times when you've really got to press look at the score are they need debt at a camp. Because being news networks has -- in the political pressure or change that the -- They need him to behave himself what do you think that would. You know and her to miss a pledge he have to beat the in his panic that he can be a jerk out there on the court I guess I'll. Well it took me I look at -- as competitive inflation he noted in the look look at the play at the end of the game last night when he -- stopped wearing red rubber neck -- who let him go. And then decided to grab rather -- -- -- flavor or are thinking you're that was going to be -- out. So many. I'll just say to myself why is why we eighteen seconds left in the game to force somebody thought that and as I've got -- personally. I'm somebody that dot -- optics yeah. I'm get sick watching the game how many times. Our god is gonna turn the -- get the basket. Without any sort of resistant to contact. Don't know all of the talk about. You know Kevin Garnett -- and operate out for the game in all those strangers and attitudes are at fault but I -- it manifest itself for the court. They didn't play that game like that he's physical has -- playoff game. And that's that you need to do it. It didn't really clerk told thirteen twelve except that game with so much -- -- -- well so I don't want probably -- -- -- the -- -- in the super. There weren't any enforcers in the game I mean. I guess Haslem played eleven minutes but none of the big back ups the played for the Celtics or shortly -- it was that kind of game. There are -- list of them that slipped through the laureate gains and integrate it into that kind of game where it's kind of like almost like attracting. It's really -- speaking because they just have with LeBron James Dwyane Wade intercept you guys. That if you tech game is played that way it that porous and that they driving lanes were blocked because they're they're gonna dominate you but getting extra lanes and and now you either surround them with better shooters as a platform that you're thinking that brought changes have played on. So that's gonna make sure that much more of a weapon because he knows what he's a willing passer. The value actually -- are that are that are not shot makers are consistent shot makers. They didn't have that in your. I tell molecular does LeBron James get the Michael Jordan treatment at this stage in his crew of the Jordan rules if you will a latter day version of LeBron rules. Well I I definitely feel that he gets benefit of the doubt and call spend it and he got some last night questions in the first Catholic. I was commenting in the room while watching game. I should Mayweather so disposed direct delicate touch anybody -- that seem like there was a stretch as you look at the -- of disparity there really that it is it's pretty even. But don't destroy -- but the second quarter -- -- -- just every title or -- we're going to Trout line and you know -- like coach Paulson and so what brought definitely I think get the benefit of the doubt those calls but I wouldn't say that he is much different than a lot of star scorers in this sleek. You know -- get those calls Carmelo -- and Kevin director of the elite scorers get those calls you know LeBron the I know it's frustrating yourself the standard people awaiting the biggest source data recorder and can't breathe or. -- crucial to guard a guy like government I understand that frustration but that really has gone on for years and years this week. Just ask the guys used to guard Carl Moore yeah yeah could you couldn't talk to guide you wouldn't we provide his talent with the -- -- 1213 free program that everybody. It's really typical defensively put. That's the conundrum facing played against great players like that. Tim is there a chance that the newly -- lakers could turn out to be an unmitigated disaster whether because of lack of chemistry or just the the the the ingredients don't mix up there. There's clearly a chance because obviously anything short of winning a chair which it would be a disaster for that team so the expectations bar so high. That there's just an absolutely a lot of room for that and you know what it's saying you saw last night and opium -- reaction to that as well -- Of the way they've played it out to the one thing that bothered me about watching that game.

I use fabric shack all the time, have done for ages, they are great. They charge a minimal postage and they have very good sales all the time.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I use fabric shack all the time, have done for ages, they are great. They charge a minimal postage and they have very good sales all the time.
If you are into Batiks or Asian prints, Seawatch Fabrics is a great place to shop. Free shipping over $30 everyday, shipping is priority and is quick. They also have some fabrics printed specially for them, so you can't find them anywhere else. I'm always pleased with my orders!
If you sign up for the shop hop emails, you will get ads from places that occasionally offer free shipping.
Fabric.com and Connecting Threads are my favorites.
Delta Patchwork is another good one.
How about Cotton Patch? Has anyone ordered from them?
I am in Canada also and have also bought from Connecting Threads and liked their service and the quality of the fabrics i bought. I have also bought from Favorite fabrics and love their fabric also. Even with shipping it is much cheaper to buy online than at any local shops. And yes, I agree that it is sad. I don't understand why the same fabrics that we can buy here are soooo much cheaper in the US even after paying the shipping charges.Originally Posted by deema
Connecting Threads, Fabric.com, and Hancock's of Paducah online are my favorite sites.
And you should see it in person!!!! They are for me - it's located in a small town full of antiques shops and is a wonderful place to spend the day!Originally Posted by ashlett
There is also their other store that has every possible piece of decorator fabric and trim imaginable!!
buying fabrics on line is easier if you sign up for all the newsletters ..... they'll let you know when they have good deals like free shipping or half price sales. i keep a list of all the online shops i come across, browse and sign up for their newsletters. have had a lot of good deals and no problems.

Locking myself out of Facebook
Tonight, I locked myself out of my own Facebook account. Here's how it went:
- Yesterday before I went to bed, pretty much out of curiosity, I turned on 2-factor authentication in my Facebook settings. My theory was that by causing me to find my phone and enter a code, I'd think really hard about how important visting Facebook at that moment really was to me.
- This morning, I logged in to Facebook, using the code sent to me on my phone. Then I logged out. The same this afternoon, and later this evening. It was rather refreshing to not have the constant temptation to pull up Facebook — knowing that I'd have to fondle with the hassle of entering the SMS code every time I tried to log-in seemed to be working.
- Then, this evening, I tried logging in again. I never got the code. I tried again, no dice. After poking around a little bit, I determined that Facebook had sent too many text messages and locked my account for security purposes.
I sat in shock for a moment. I tried again a few minutes later. Then a few hours later. Nope.
I hadn't figured this would happen —when you log in from a new device, you're given an option to add that browser to your "Trusted Browser" list so you don't have to go through the hassle of entering a code again. Because my purposes were not security, I checked the "No" checkbox every time. And I'm really glad I did.
On one hand, I really value the connections Facebook has brought me. I'm now real friends with real people I met through Facebook. But on the other I've realized that in order to keep building I need to stay focused — and not on my virtual facsimiles of friends. Facebook was designed for addiction — after all, they don't make money if people don't use it, so it's been a long struggle to figure out the best way to curb usage: I can't disable my account — it's used in a lot of places to log-in to stuff, I'm a member of some Facebook Groups that I really value, and I manage Facebook Pages and sometimes build Facebook Apps. So I'm stuck. Well, was stuck. Until I locked myself out of my own Facebook account. Now I'm stuck wondering when I'll be able to log-in to Facebook again (I assume sometime tomorrow, but I'm not sure I really care.)
Moving forward, I think it's important that we build more social tools that integrate with our lifestyles and not against them or "in addition to" them. I don't want another social network. But I want the data and information and interaction I get from sites like Facebook and Twitter, without the constant barrage of interruptions.
Of course, as a millennial, I've never really lived in a world without [Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc]. And sometimes I really wish I could get away from it all. But I've built so much of life around "things that happen online" that I'm not sure I could handle it. These social networks are wonderful — I'm not sure I would enjoy living in a world without them as much as I enjoy living in a world with them — but they should augment our real-world lives, not attempt to intrude on or replace them. And, maybe, just maybe, telling us to take a break and join the real world once and a while could be a feature, not a bug.

There is no reason why children with cholesterol problems should be deprived of banana splits. Here is a lightened version of the old favorite; a simple chocolate sauce is made with water instead of with cream.
Servings: 4
- 2 ounces dark chocolate, such as Hershey's Dark Chocolate Sticks, cut into small pieces
- 1 tablespoon hot water, plus more as needed
- 2 cups nonfat vanilla frozen yogurt
- 1 banana, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch diagonal slices
- 1 cup canned pitted cherries, drained (not maraschino)
- 12 tablespoons from a 7-ounce can of whipped cream, such as Reddi-Wip Original
- 1/2 cup walnut pieces or nut topping
Combine the chocolate and water in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 15 seconds; remove and whisk vigorously.
Whisk in additional hot water by drops as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
Place a spoonful of the chocolate sauce in each individual sundae dish. Add a few scoops of the yogurt; divide the banana slices and cherries among the dishes. Drizzle each with the remaining chocolate sauce, then top each portion with 3 tablespoons of the whipped cream and the nuts.

Vandals wreck Bloom and Grow display
Date published: 29 July 2014
Vandals went on a destructive rampage in Oldham's Bloom and Grow garden and now the council is in a race against time to repair it before judges arrive in two days.
Oldham Council has CCTV footage of six teenagers uprooting flowers and destroying fixtures on the display in Oldham town centre on Sunday evening.
This took place at 8.20pm but it is not the first time the display has been vandalised since it was unveiled.
There have been a number of reports of teenagers causing damage to the garden.
Judges visit the display on Thursday to grade it for the Britain in Bloom competition.
After all the hard work put in, council gardeners now have to make last-minute repairs to return the display back to the way it was.
Repair work started yesterday and the council said it would not let a few vandals prevent Oldham from having something to be proud of.
Councillor Barbara Brownridge, cabinet member for neighbourhoods and co-operatives, said: "It really is very sad to see such a beautiful floral display ruined because of the actions of a few mindless vandals. A lot of hard work has gone into making our town centre and parks places for residents to be proud of and that look nice.
"We have received wonderful feedback from people about the Bloom and Grow work.
"Britain in Bloom judges arrive in the borough on Thursday and we will not let a handful of people prevent us from making Oldham a better place for residents and visitors.
"Both the display and new play area are CCTV-monitored and we will report any troublemakers to the police."
Please inform Oldham Council on 0161-770 4067 during office hours or 0161-770 4580 out of hours if anyone spots any culprits.
"We can, and will, beat these anti-social vandals."
Why not show the camera footage of the culprits to be named and shammed if not prosecuted for criminal damage or would that be political incorrect
disgraceful even though i dont agree with the money spent on this contest it is a total disgrace the only thing we have left to be proud of now in oldham is the parks dept don't let it get ya down boys carry on regardless
There are always idiots who spoil things.
I am absolutely disgusted, yet sadly NOT surprised. I have remarked for the last few years that the Horticultural team for Oldhan council do a magnificent job with the flower displays around the town. I wish them all the best when the judges come and if the culprits are found they ought to be put in stocks next to the display for everyone to see. Then have to spend some time with the Bloom and Grow team to see how much hard work it takes. Restorative Justice.
How will we ever cope?
Seeing as there are no images of the so called culprits,I take it that we have to guess who they might be--come on,lets have some pictures please.
I agree with reliant ronnie, there are oldham, royton, chadderton etc community facebook pages that i`m sure the administrators would only be to happy to post the cctv images

Editor's Choice - Aug 19, 2013 Daily Top 3 - Aug 19, 2013
After making Talia's 13th birthday cake last August I was so very touched and honored to be asked to help in paying tribute to her life on the date of her 14th birthday. Although she gained her wings in July we all felt she was there with us as we honored her life and accomplishments. Before she passed Talia had asked for a Paris themed birthday cake which you all know is a very special theme in my heart. With a Marie Antoinette inspiration this cake features Talia's favorite colors, with playful ruffles, eclectic and quirky elements, her little doggy Bella, and a hunters moon behind the Eiffel Tower. Talia wanted to pull an all nighter one day and there is no better place to do that than Paris. Along with the cake I served over 1300 mini cupcakes to the guests at her tribute event and prepared a carrot cake for her family to take home and enjoy. A labor of love made as a gift with all of my heart, respect, admiration and loyalty to Talia and her beautiful family.

Brazil's Lula knew about vote buying scheme: newspaper
RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva knew about and used funds from a far-reaching vote-buying scheme to pay for personal expenses, according to testimony by a convicted former consultant to the ruling Workers' Party.
The testimony, reported on Tuesday by the Estado de S.Paulo newspaper, was given in September to Brazil's attorney general's office by Marcos Valerio, an advertising executive recently convicted as a bagman in the scheme.
Valerio also testified that an aide to the former president made veiled threats when the scandal erupted in efforts to keep him quiet, the newspaper said.
According to the report, Valerio gave the testimony voluntarily in a bid to reduce his sentence after he and 24 other former Lula aides and associates were convicted in a landmark trial heard by Brazil's Supreme Court.
Though he still received a stiff 40-year prison sentence, the circumstances of Valerio's testimony are likely to cast doubt on his claims. Among other crimes, Valerio was convicted for handling the money used in the scheme, which involved payoffs to legislators in exchange for Congressional support.
The trial exposed crimes at the core of the administration of Brazil's beloved former president and was hailed as a sign that the country is growing less tolerant of the corruption long rife in local, state, and national politics.
Lula, still Brazil's most influential political figure and a possible contender for a new run at the presidency in 2014, has denied any knowledge of the scheme since it first came to light in 2005, roiling the first of his two terms.
Though Lula's legacy has been tarnished by the convictions, the trial has done little to sap his star power - even after officials including a former treasurer of the PT, as the Workers' Party is known, and Jose Dirceu, his once-powerful chief of staff, were convicted.
That could change if the allegations made by Valerio were proven. Critics have long alleged that the scheme could not have been carried out without Lula's knowledge, or tacit approval, but so far no proof of either has surfaced. Continued...

Nightmare is a mount that can be summoned by the Nightmare Whistle. The whistle is dropped by Garuda (Extreme), Titan (Extreme), and Ifrit (Extreme).
While it is no secret that it was the enigmatic Ascians who provided the beast tribes with nightmares, their reasons for doing so remain shrouded in mystery. Otherwise untamable, the single piercing tone of a magicked whistle is the only method known to soothe the savage beasts.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Laroy and Carrie sell horses and ponies. I bought 4 from them, very overpriced, but that's my decision. I let them keep (and sell) horses on my property for almost a year. I witnessed them ripping people off repeatedly. I had people come looking for them years after I told them to leave.
They told people they would take back horses if they didn't work out, they wouldn't return people's phone calls. They bought some corrals from a guy in Norco and cancelled their check before he could cash it...thieves.
They promise people things and never come through. They had me order something for them online ($300.00) and never paid me back.
They tried to get me to "invest" in their "business". I was smart enough to say no. I'm sure that's why other people were trying to contact Laroy. He's a fast talking scammer. Carrie pretends she doesn't know anything, but she does.
Anybody that knows them won't have anything to do with them anymore, including local businesses.

Costco is in town and that's good news for consumers of fine wine, writes Jeni Port.
COSTCO cemented its name as the biggest wine retailer in the US by selling bottles of Dom Perignon for $US100 a pop in 2006. That little bit of marketing chutzpah reportedly moved more than 100,000 cases of Dom that year and helped propel what had been regarded as simply a "big box" discounter into the orbit of the serious wine drinker. It was like honey to a bee.
Has Costco's first venture into Australia, at Melbourne's Docklands, provided the same alluring honey? This week Costco did indeed have bottles of Dom Perignon, right next to the 1.5-litre magnums of '04 and '05 Grange and the '06 Chateau Margaux. The 2002 Dom — a good year, not great — was available for $174.99 a bottle.
Big-name wines are priced at healthy discounts.
It's not $100 but relative to its competitors (the '02 ranges from $199 to $332 in Melbourne) it's a bargain. And it wasn't alone.
You had to be there, literally, to find out what was being offered in the wine "department", a modest rectangle of space hemmed in between fresh flowers and cigarette sales, because Costco does not advertise. You also had to be a member, which costs $60. "Costco sells wine under the radar," says a Victorian-based wine producer, who objected to having his low, low Costco-priced 2009 cabernet sauvignon (Costco $29.99, normal retail price $40) identified in this story.
He was concerned, he said, that the publication of his wine at a ridiculously low price would damage his relationship with the big forces in Australian wine sales: Coles (Liquorland, Vintage Cellars, First Choice) and Woolworths (Dan Murphy's).
Costco, he claims, uses wines such as his to attract a higher socio-economic group of people into the store who will spend more. Getting people to spend up big is the beating philosophical heart of Costco because the company works on the skinniest margins imaginable — reportedly about a 10 per cent to 15 per cent margin and 3 per cent operating profit. Fast turnover is the driver.
The Melbourne Costco wine section has hints of a regular wine store about it with a central aisle of upmarket wines packed in nice wooden box-ware while the cheaper stuff is stacked on industrial shelving to the side. There is plenty of space to move — it's needed for the Costco super-sized, deep trolleys.
The big-name wines are priced at healthy discounts (see panel), with champagnes leading the way. Wine marketing consists of basic shelf-talkers with a quirky Costco proletariat simplicity, hence the bubbles of the non-vintage Veuve Clicquot are "rich and never overpowering", the Louis Latour 2008 Puligny Montrachet ($43.49) is "frank and elegant" while the Clefs des Papes Blanc Chateauneuf-du-Pape ($27.98) is simply a "great wine to drink with food". One shelf-talker, for the Jansz non-vintage sparkling from Tasmania ($17.79), posts a rating score of 91 points but by whom isn't made clear.
Wines can change pretty quickly. Once a wine is gone, it's gone. Some unfamiliar names roam the shelves. These are recession-busting types priced down, led by Costco's own private label, Kirkland Signature, which has been around since 1995. The wines are made in small lots (reportedly 2000 cases each) and created for Costco by winemakers from regions such as Champagne, Central Otago and Sonoma Valley.
The Kirkland Signature non-vintage champagne ($32.99) is from Roland de Bruyne and Manuel Janisson of Champagne de Bruyne: a forward wine, well-developed in flavour and colour with toasty appeal that shouts "wedding toast" fizz. You could do worse.
The Kirkland Signature 2009 Sonoma Valley chardonnay ($12.99) does not name the producer behind it (I could say something here); enough to say it is an old-school, buttered-up, tropical fruit bowl of a chardie in a style that was once hugely popular, now only mildly so. You could do worse. Could this be Costco's own-brand catchcry?
The Kirkland Signature Rutherford Napa Valley 2009 meritage (a cabernet sauvignon blend, $19.99) offers a cheery but easily forgettable drink, while the Kirkland Signature Alexander Valley 2008 cabernet sauvignon ($13.49) attempts to muscle up, offering far more savoury and oak flavours than its Sonoma cousin, but ends on a bitter, smoky note.
If those four wines are representative of Costco's own-brand wines, I'll pass. There are so many more inviting wines from Europe to discover on Costco shelves, at prices that encourage you to try at least one bottle, such as the hearty, comforting Clefs des Murailles 2009 from Vacqueyras in Chateauneuf-du-Pape ($14.99), a grenache-based blend that lasts and lasts with a savoury, liquorice, raspberry-fruited intensity.
Then there's the Araldica 2006 Flori barolo. I can't believe the price: $17.49. Such a pretty and expressive young nebbiolo bursting with cherry, raspberry freshness and enticing florals but do not forget to decant.
A lean 2007 Chateau Tayac Cru Bourgeois from Margaux, Bordeaux ($26.79), is more than passable with a smoky cigar-box charm. William Fevre's Champs Royaux 2010 chablis is well-known and liked for its mineral fineness and appears to have been imported direct and not through Negociants Australia, or so the price would indicate, at $19.48.
If Costco is to be a leading wine player on the scene, and it appears it might be with news that it plans to open more stores in Australia, then Coles and Woolworths have serious competition heading their way.
As one large Australian wine producer, who supplies and enjoys doing business with Costco, told me: "Anything that reduces the dominance in the market of the supermarkets is good for suppliers."
And, of course, has to be good for wine drinkers.

New fish cakes/fingers
Just a note from a couple of Brits down under to say that we have tried and are well chuffed with your new range of fish cakes/fingers recently arrived onto the woolies shelves; they are all absolutely delicious. Best of luck with your campaign for improving worldwide health and eating habits and increased taxes for the fast food giants, it has made the news here so fingers crossed.

Re: New fish cakes/fingers
I stumbled across these today while in woolies stocking up on the croquette from 'recipe to riches'. Just had a fish finger butty for lunch. I have avoided fish fingers for years because the usual ones are not as healthy as they could be.
These are yum!!!!!!
Looks like a regular visit to woolies to have them in the freezer.
I only hope they last and don't get deleted after the addiction has set in like other JO products when released in Oz. I still have one last bottle of his balsamic vinegar that is only used on special occasions.
