A man was sent to prison yesterday after admitting an assault on his eight-months' pregnant partner when she refused to give him money, pleading with him that the money was instead needed for the baby.
Matthew Walker Hawkins, 25, appeared in Hastings District Court yesterday after he previously pleaded guilty to a charge of injuring with intent.
His lawyer, Eric Forster, told the court the family had been short on money due to Hawkins purchasing synthetic cannabis products. He said the fact that the drug was legal had sent "mixed messages" to Hawkins.
"It sends a message that it is okay to be intoxicated by cannabis-like substances."
A police summary of facts said Hawkins was at home with his partner on the night of July 10 when an argument broke out over finances.
"The defendant became irate when the victim refused to give him money."
The victim was thrown to the ground by Hawkins, who then stood over her and demanded she hand over some money.
"What followed was a prolonged attack in which the defendant followed the victim around the house for half an hour, assaulting her."
She was thrown to the ground three times, pinned against a cupboard, had her head smashed into a wall, was held around the throat four times, punched once in the head and kicked in the thigh. Hawkins snatched her phone from her when she went to call the police and the attack ended only after she pretended to be knocked out.
Judge Tony Adeane said the circumstances of the assault were "sadly familiar".
The offending was "disgraceful" and "unacceptable" and said a term of imprisonment was inevitable.
Judge Adeane said it was not a first offence and noted Hawkins' previous convictions for assault on a female, breaching a protection order and failing to attend programmes.
Initially he sentenced Hawkins to 12 months' imprisonment but, after accepting further submissions regarding the nature of the defendant's employment, he reduced it to two months' imprisonment.
The sentence allows for Hawkins to partake in the shearing season.
Judge Adeane refused to consider an electronically monitored sentence or a term of home detention, which he said would be "inappropriate".
"You start kicking eight-months' pregnant women and you won't get any sympathy here."
Mr Forster told the court the victim wanted her partner to stop spending money on synthetic cannabis so he would be less volatile and the family would have more money.

Today, I walked into my office without thinking about dress code. I threw on a summer dress and Birkenstocks and have been comfortably enjoying my station at my desk. There is no supervisor looking at me out of the corner of his/her eye. I am an entrepreneur with a staff. This is only one of the many reasons I love owning a business.
Running through my history as an employee, I remember getting looked at sideways for many things.
When I started working for myself, there were a lot of things I thought I could do that didn't end up being true, like:
In the last three years, I haven't had a boss to look at me sideways but the idea that I could sleep more was thrown out the window. My idea of what owning a business would be like has changed drastically and although I don't get as much time by the pool as I'd like, I have fallen in love with being an entrepreneur for entirely different reasons.
What do YOU love about working for yourself?
Why do you wish you could?

Save the Date Wedding Fair…
Sore feet from wearing too high shoes, voice hoarse from talking all day, exhausted from an early start…but over the moon with how today went at the save the date wedding fair with a difference!
Darby & Joan caught up with wedding suppliers we regularly work alongside, met some inspirational new companies & people & spent the day talking to brides to be & their families about their impending weddings. Lydia & Abbi from Save the Date really know how to put an event together; catwalk shows, interactive displays, live music, outdoor entertainment, fabulous catering – all housed at The Roundhouse, one of the most impressive buildings in the county.
We were showcasing our vintage china & vintage accessories together with promoting our Afternoon Tea Party events (we had a cake trolley filled with cupcakes, scones, rocky road & chocolate dipped strawberries..not much left at the end of the day!)
We were so so excited about the event, fingers & everything else crossed that we are able to work with some of the brides we met on their wedding or help with their hen parties. (We have already had one provisional booking from the day, which is amazing, that is my kind of bride!!)
What a hen do…!
Morning all. Its 645 on Friday morning, an early blog! I have been up & about since 4am, my mind is whirring & working overtime with everything that is happening at the moment with Darby & Joan – exciting times.
Have you Derby folk heard of a lovely, relatively new restaurant on Sadler Gate, The Wonky Table? Its an intimate, friendly place to eat, having an ever changing menu with dishes made with largely locally sourced ingredients – & the cocktails are (in my opinion!) the best you'll find in Derby. They have a function room upstairs which can be hired for private events, which I where I come in!
A couple of weeks ago D&J provided the vintage styling, vintage china & finishing touches to a vintage styled hen party. The girls had requested a champagne brunch & were treated to eggs benedict, fresh fruit salad, pastries & tarts with endless cups of coffee & tea. The ladies had a fabulous few hours & thought it was a gorgeous treat. They said it was especially nice because it gave family members from both sides of the bridal party to meet up & gave friends old & new the chance to get to know each other before the big day.
As it was such a success, The Wonky Table & Darby & Joan are hoping to make vintage styled get-togethers a regular event. I can't think of a nicer way to celebrate your occasion if you want to plan your event during the day. Perfect for a hen party, birthday celebration or just an excuse to get the girls together for a champagne breakfast or vintage afternoon tea.
So, please contact either myself at D&J or Holly at the Wonky Table & we will be happy to discuss menu ideas & styling with you.

Pink was the color of the day Saturday but the St. Catharine College volleyball team was instead feeling blue. They took on that different shade after dropping Mid-South Conference matches to visiting UVA-Wise and Pikeville College. The gate proceeds for Dig Pink Saturday went to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Adam Stevenson's Patriots, now 5-27 overall and 1-7 in conference play, had both matches in their grasp but let them slip away as both matches went all five games.
By Jimmie Earls
Sun Sports Writer
For the first time in 13 years, the Washington County Football Commanders beat the Bardstown Tigers Friday night. And they did it despite having three touchdowns called back on penalties. In fact, flags were in abundance Friday night as a total of 20 were thrown, 10 for each team. The score was close for much of the game, but a last-minute touchdown on a fake punt sealed the 35-21 win for the Commanders, who earned home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

Roof Repair FAQ in Spring Hill, FL
Cost of typical shingle roof repairs
Shingle roofs aren't quite as durable as tile, metal or rubber roofing. That said, an asphalt shingle roofing system is usually less expensive than fixing other types of roofs such as slate, shake or tile. Shingles are readily available, inexpensive and easy to install.
To give a ballpark figure -- let's say you have a 25 square foot (5 ft. by 5 ft.) section of shingle roof damaged in a wind storm. The cost of replacing the weakened shingles would typically range $200 to $400, depending upon where you live and the type of shingles used.
Signs that it's time to call a contractor for detection of roof leaks or weakened structure:
Give your local roofing contractor a call if your roof shows:
- Ceiling or wall water stains
- Roof or ceiling sagging
- Ice dams during colder months (large buildup of ice on gutters, with large icicles)
- Water pooling on the roof
- Excessive mold/algae/moss growth on roof may be a signal water is trapped beneath the outer layer of roofing material
- Condensation in your attic just below the roofing structure

Reginald J. Mitchell developed a racing seaplane, the Supermarine S6B, which won the Schneider Trophy on 13th September, 1931. During the contest the aircraft reached 340 mph (547 km/h).
In 1934 the Air Ministry announced that it was looking for a new fighter plane. Mitchell, whose company was now part of Vickers Aviation, decided to adapt his Supermarine seaplane, in an attempt to meet the requirements of the Royal Air Force.
The new all-metal single-seat fighter plane, the Supermarine Spitfire Mk. I, had several technical features of the earlier racing seaplane. It had the same structure and aerodynamic lines. However, it had a new engine, the 1,030 hp Rolls Royce Merlin and carried 8 machine-guns.
The first Spitfire prototype appeared on 5th March, 1936 and flew at 350 mph (563 km/h) and could ascend at approximately 2,500 ft (762 m) per minute. With its slender aerodynamic lines and elliptical-plan wings, it was claimed at the time, to be the smallest and cleanest aircraft that could be constructed around a man and an engine.
The Royal Air Force was impressed with its performance and in June, 1936, it ordered 310 aircraft. The Supermarine Spitfire Mk. I went into production in 1937 and was operational in June, 1938. Vickers Aviation could not keep up with demand and most of Britain's manufacturers began building Spitfires. By October, 1939, the Air Ministry had ordered over 4,000 of these airplanes.
Supermarine Spitfire Mk. II went into service in late 1940. These had a 1,150 hp Rolls Royce Merlin engine. Other versions appeared throughout the Second World War. This included Spitfire Mk. IV that was a photographic reconnaissance aircraft. The Spitfire Mk. VC was the first model to be used as a fighter-bomber and carried 500 pounds (226 kg) of bombs.
Hello. Find here all the best of clip video, photo of these last 3 years with this amazing survivor supermarine stunning spitfire PR XIX, equiped with high power griffon piston engine and contra rotating propeller, (listen to awesome start up sequence. startup) it is still flying very good and sharp, We are operating this bird in France, after rebuilding at Chino (CA USA) by Steve Hinton team, used by RAF royal air force in early days of 1945 at the end of the war ww2, it's a hight flight quality plane, agility, maneuverability for dog fight demo and display, aerobatic hight speed and low level pass, from Chino Los Angeles to Dijon Darois LFGI (france home base airfield and workshop) and flying also at legends airshow Duxford EGSU aerobatic and balbo display. Bex. Ila Berlin. Also with mustang p51 la Ferte Allais, paris (with Francois Gonet Annemasse on picture) flight formation airshow display at Hahnweide old timer, september 2007, festival de l'aviation ancienne. thumb up and see you soon at the field. save the planet aerobatic airshow... (acrobatie presentation voltige). enjoy this film and movie..
Undoubtedly the most famous British combat aircraft of World War II, the Spitfire is as deeply ingrained in the collective psyche of most Britons as the P-51 Mustang is in most Americans'. First flown on 5 March 1936, the Spitfire sprang from the design desk of R.J. Mitchell, who had previously submitted an unsuccessful design for a similar fighter, the Type 224. Once given the freedom to design an aircraft outside of the strict Air Ministry specifications, his Type 300 emerged as a clear winner; so much so that a new Air Ministry specification was written to match the new design.
Originally a gift from King Bhumibol of Thailand to The Planes of Fame Museum back in 1962, this aircraft spent many years in storage. The restoration gained impetus only oafter the museum decided to marry the airframe with Rolls-Royce Griffon engine and contra-rotating propeller from an Avro Shackleton maritime patrol aircraft.
- this Spitfire was operated in Chino LA for many years, but sold to France in 2007. Go fast and low level in danger zone to stay alive... ok...

Macedonian PM: Zaev Thretened Me with Materials from Foreign Intelligence Services
At four meetings, the SDSM leader Zoran Zaev blackmailed me with recorded telephone conversations he had received from foreign intelligence service asking the formation of a technical government, Telegraf.mk reports.
This was said by PM Gruevski on Saturday, following the police operation 'Coup' that was carried out earlier in the day, in which one of the suspected individuals is the SDSM leader. Gruevski said that the meetings took place from September to November last year. The first meeting was initiated by Zaev."
"Zaev requested an immediate formation of a technical government. I was informed that in cooperation with a foreign intelligence service he obtained recorded telephone conversations for almost the entire state top, the president, the parliament, the Government, the media and other political and public figures from both the authorities and the opposition. I asked him several times if he was certain he received the information from a foreign intelligence service and his answer was positive. He told me about several phone conversations which I concluded were true, part were partially true, and part were completely untrue. However, the fact that part of them were true speaks about the seriousness of the situation," Gruevsk said, explaining that Zaev in the following days, started to talk about that in public, thus enhancing the threat.
The PM criticized Zaev for his pride and self-confidence in his statements that foreign intelligence services have provided him with an anti-constitutional and illegally obtained materials in order to realize some personal goal.
Gruevski said that he has strong and irrefutable evidence that Zaev was threatening him and the Government.
"There are some things that can't be ignored and that is the interest of the country. I will not allow threats, blackmails and set-ups. I couldn't believe that a person who would like to be in charge of this country can proudly say that he is cooperating with foreign intelligence services," said the PM.
Verusevski, his wife and an official of the municipality of Strumica, where Zaev is the mayor, have been detained, while Zaev himself is not detained. In a comment published by a news site, the SDSM leader said that "this is a transparent attempt by the Government to prevent the publication of its crimes and all the evil this criminal Government has caused".
In his public address, Gruevski underlined that he will answer all those questions in a court procedure.
"I call upon all of you to follow the case with attention, to look at the evidence and recognize the speculations. The truth will come out, there are evidence for everything," the premier urged.
Zaev is one of the four persons suspected in the vast-scale police operation 'Coup'. With several personal meetings and telephone conversations with the president of the Government, he had clearly threatened the latter of possessing evidence against him, the interior ministry said.
The three other suspects have been sentenced to custody, except the SDSM leader. A criminal charge for violence against the highest state representatives has been filed against him.
The interior ministry added that for the first time in Macedonian history a case was realized involving endangering the state order and undemocratic taking over of power.

- Man Charged with Attacking SDSM Leader in Parliament
- Parliament Incident Trial Postponed to May 23

Former Red Sox pitcher and current ESPN analyst Curt Schilling joined Dennis & Callahan Tuesday morning to discuss the Red Sox' free fall, what it's like to play through pain and whether he thinks Boston will make the postseason or not.
"It's kind of crashing down around them," Schilling said of the Red Sox. "Somebody asked me last night about them making the playoffs and I said, 'You know how I feel about these guys, you know how I feel about Terry … I don't want them to make the playoffs because I don't think they have a chance to go anywhere.'"
Boston is 5-14 in the September and has seen its lead in the wild card over the Rays go from nine games to just two games since the beginning of the month.
Asked if he thought Boston will make the playoffs despite its struggles, Schilling was honest.
"I don't think they're going to make it," Schilling said. "I think there's been a huge momentum shift and I can see Tampa winning out."
Following are more highlights from the conversation. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page [1].
On struggling pitcher John Lackey: "His career numbers are what they are. If you go back and look at his career numbers in Anaheim, he was a guy who gave up a lot of hits. He was a guy who didn't have great command. He walked guys and gave up hits. Fortunately for him, he played in a division that wasn't devastatingly offensive like the AL East. … You can argue that he's had some bad luck here and there, but the fact of the matter is, that's the pitcher that they paid for."
On Carl Crawford being held out of Monday's doubleheader and playing through pain: "Carl Crawford is not a soft player. I don't know if he's struggling mentally and having issues … this guy is a gamer and a competitor and a winner. … You can't question a player's toughness. You have to be in the clubhouse. You have to understand how hard it is to [play through pain]."
On if Boston will resign both David Ortiz: "I think David has bought himself at least another year. I think if he wants a multiyear deal and they can't come to some agreement, I think that would be a stumbling block. I think from a clubhouse perspective, from a media perspective, I think David is still the player he was before. He's got that presence, that charisma. Don't underestimate the impact has that David has on Latino players, which is a big deal."

What a difference a week can make - where did the thigh high snow go? Spring has sprung. Most of the snow was gone in the town of Sinaia itself, but we headed up the mountain for some play.
Where does the time go? We feel busy so much of the time! Except maybe when we are on the 45 minute gondola ride to the top of the Bucegi mountain range, Romania! And then one of us, at least, is wondering why we want to downhill ski with two adult sets, boots, one child set of skis, plus two kids in tow. Then we saw the toboggans for rent.... Oh well, that would be day 2 of mountain bumming. Skiing with toddlers is an incredible workout on the quads and the hamstrings (and not for the toddlers)! The Lonely Planet promised us some cross country skiing, but even the ski rental folks knew nothing about skis or trails in the area!
We suppose with two youngsters, life is in some ways much the same in Eastern Europe as it is in Whitehorse. Except that it takes us much longer in Romania and Bulgaria to arrange accommodation, train tickets, to grocery shop - how blissful it will be to return to grocery shopping in familiar surroundings. If only we can arrange to have a few of our favourite things from Europe to suddenly appear on the shelves of shops in Whitehorse....
On our last day in Romania we had forgotten about the time/clock change ...things you forget while traveling - just as well our helpful 'landlords' think of these things and remind us so we do not miss the train! Michael (landlord) even delivered us to the train station at the end of our stay in Sinaia. Cannot get over how helpful the people are in Romania - bending over backwards to assist.
Next - night train to Budapest, one more night there, a visit to Statue Park, then a taste of the no frills airline Easy Jet to London then to Glasgow. Time is clicking on - more than � of our 11 months away is done.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows Parent Review
There's no question Downey and Law are having as much fun in this production as they did in the first. This edgier and darker depiction is fashioned for older fans of Sherlock Holmes.
Movie Review
One has to wonder what Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would think of Director Guy Ritchie's interpretation of Sherlock Holmes. Certainly Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayal is scrappier and more action oriented than Matt Frewer's depiction in the Hallmark movies The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Sign of Four. (Other famous actors to take on this literary persona include Roger Moore, Charlton Heston, Leonard Nimoy, Peter O'Toole, Christopher Plummer, Basil Rathbone and Jeremy Brett.)
NEW: Listen to our Parent Previews Podcast and take control of media and technology in your family!
Back in the director's chair, Richie's second adventure finds Sherlock Holmes with his right-hand man Dr. Watson (Jude Law) confronting the nefarious Professor James Moriarty (Jared Harris), a villain who is amassing a military arsenal. The two intellectual equals, Holmes and Moriarty, become pitted in a game of wits that has them both as mentally engaged as a pair of chess masters. But Watson, on his first night of marriage, is drawn into the fray as well.
Most of the action centers around the three main characters although Sherlock's brother (Stephen Fry), Watson's new bride (Kelly Reilly) and the detective's love interest (Rachel McAdams) all appear on the sidelines, along with another new character, Madam Simza Heron (Noomi Rapace).
Many of the fistfights, explosions and shooting scenes are shown in slow motion action with Holmes and Moriarty outlining afore (to the audience) what they will do. But this sequel also parades several graphic scenes across the screen. Captured by Moriarty, Holmes is impaled with a meat hook and hung from the ceiling. Another character commits suicide in front of the detective and his friends.
However there's no question Downey and Law are having as much fun in this production as they did in the first. Their dry wit and the deadpan delivery of jokes (often involving sexual innuendo or alcohol consumption) help lessen the impact of the violence. So does Sherlock's penchant for disguise. Still this edgier and darker depiction of the adept and calculating investigator is fashioned for older fans of the fictional hero.Directed by Guy Ritchie. Starring Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Jared Harris. Running time: 128 minutes. Theatrical release December 16, 2011. Updated July 12, 2016

Why does Holmes refer to marriage as eternal purgatory? Why is he so upset with Watson's wedding?
What does Moriarty mean when he says Holmes is fighting the human condition? How does the Professor plan to act as a catalyst for war? How does he expect to benefit from battle?

This updated 2 bedroom 2 bathroom with a loft that includes a queen is perfect for two couples. The large deck offers beautiful ocean views with a private hot tub.Enjoy both ocean views and the wildlife activity from the large window seat. Our home is conveniently located to all that Sea Ranch has to offer. The trail to Shell Beach is located right behind the home and a short walk will take you to the ocean . Enjoy the Sea Ranch Golf Links, as well as access to the Sea Ranch pools and tennis courts. This home is conveniently located just minutes from Salt Point State Park. Pet friendly!
We have had this home in the family over forty years. We were married in the back yard! Very different than where we live in Lake Tahoe, Nv. We love this spot and hope you will too!
Sea Ranch Escapes purchased this house in 1970
We have stayed at the Loeffler property before and love coming back! The house is always super clean and they are always updating and adding to keep the look current and comfortable. Kitchen is fully stocked a supply of firewood and a clean hot tub are some favorites. I love curling up on one of two window seats to read and catch a view of the ocean. Thank you Brad and Barbie we will be back.
My daughter and I look forward to our retreat in this delightful seaside home every year. It is well appointed with every amenity. The updated kitchen and outdoor BBQ make it easy to cook at home. There is a cozy double window seat perfect for reading a book or simply gazing at the sea. The massive stone fireplace anchors the great room and is ready to light if there's a chill in the air. I love to wake in the master suite and see the ocean from my pillow...then take a quick step outside to the hot tub. Just beyond the home are trails that wander along the seaside cliffs. We make a point of watching every sunrise and sunset from these wonderful vantage points.
We are always impressed with the cleanliness of the home and how well maintained it is. It truly is the perfect seaside retreat.
This is a beautiful house with great ocean views. The environment forces you to unplug and forget the cacophany of 21st century existence. Let your mind relax and expand as you explore the beaches, enjoy the local towns, or simply nuzzle up with your favorite loved one. It is BYOBB, bring your own book and beer. Have fun! You won't regret it.
What a perfect place to relax, refresh, and rejuvenate! Treat yourself to a weekend away from it all. The house is immaculately maintained, tranquil, comfortable, and incredibly inviting for family and friends. Enjoy scenic views from each room in the house, from the deck, or hot tub. The residence is private, yet a short walk from the beach where you can enjoy watching the Harbor Seals and their pups. You are also just a quick drive from good restaurants (Bones Roadhouse for you BBQ fans) and wineries (Chardonnay & Pinot Noir region). We are are looking forward to visiting again!
If you are looking for a relaxing getaway at Sea Ranch, look no further. This beautiful property is spacious and in a great location. The upstairs loft is great for kids and teens, but I loved the jacuzzi on the back deck with the amazing view! The kitchen is also well stocked with every possible cooking tool.
As far a activities, the beach trail will keep you busy for hours. We saw seals with their pups on the beach, starfish and crabs in the tide pools, and deer eating flowers right outside of our window. I actually woke up to the deer every morning. Ft. Ross, and old Russian fort, is also close by and is definitely worth stopping in. Salt Point State Park is also nearby and wont disappoint. We even got in some mountain bike riding in the pygmy forest. Gualala is the nearest town and is right up the road. There are some great places to eat, like Bones Roadhouse, and some little markets and shops. Can't wait to go back!
We had an amazing time. The house was perfect, the weather could not have been better. Dinner at the lodge was good. Dinner in Galahla , not so good. It is best to bring a lot of your own food, as it gets really pricey at the markets. Fun golf course, gorgeous sunsets, perfect place to relax, read a book, and walk on the pristine beaches!

American Express Releases Fourth Quarter 2011 Financial Results
"Cardmembers spent a record amount on their American Express cards, continuing a trend that has translated into overall share gains during the last two years. Billed business rose 11%, showing broad-based improvements from the strong levels of a year ago. Online spending was strong as we capitalized on the accelerating popularity of digital commerce. Revolving credit balances grew, but at a much slower rate than spending as Cardmembers continued to manage their debt and household finances more cautiously. Credit quality remained excellent, with past-due loans and write-offs at historically low levels.

Summary:After having my best year ever with TM r7 CGB steel shafted irons, I found a set of CGB Max irons with an 85 gram Penley graphite iron shaft. I had started losing distance with my irons and wanted to try the newer model but, was wary of the reviews stating that the stock graphite shafts were too light. The Penleys are perfect and the graphite stiff was equal to the steel regular flex. I have my lost distance back and am getting a higher ball flight. The only negative is some light rusting in the cavity that I spray periodically.

Summary:I love these clubs. I'm not a physically strong player but with these clubs and Callaway HX-Hot balls I can hit iron shots as far and accurately (usually) as the low handicappers in my group who are playing other irons and Pro-V1s. These clubs also hit the ball incredibly high, so may not be right for someone playing where it's always windy. The clubs with graphite shafts are very light, probably too light for someone comfortable swinging steel, but the light weight makes it easy for me to get the swing started without feeling like I have to pull hard from the top.

Shoots in the 70s
Model Reviewed:'09 Burner
Summary:No place to review these, so here goes...
Best irons I have ever hit, and by a long way. The 2009 Burner irons are in a class by themselves. I am a club junkie, but really just trying to find the perfect sticks... for me. I have owned well over 100 sets of irons over the last 3 years. Many good ones... ONE great one.
Mine have the 85 gram Burner steel in S flex. Standard length (1/2" over). I think this makes them a little upright, probably at least a blue dot in Ping terms. I did not get 20 yards more per club, in fact they fir into my standard expected distance, but with a smoother swing, which is great... maybe they push the edge by being a bit longer, but as I got used to them, I just reduced the tempo a bit to get the distance I was looking for... or nuked it to get the extra 5-10 yards if necessary... a great option.
Outstanding balance, feels like a slightly heavier swing weight, probably a D1 or 2 (have not checked).
These are amazingly forgiving and straight, but will work it if needed.
Grips are not outstanding, but much better than the TM stock grips of the past... good enough to go for a season before putting on your favorites.
My set is 4-AW, got them off Ebay for around $425 new... great deal. I would not mind getting the SW and use a #2 hybrid lead taped for lift (It is a Rapture knock-off by Giga Golf).
The top lines are medium, but the way TM finishes them, they have a thinner look than they really are... good stuff!
Well worth a test drive if you are looking... might not be YOUR perfect irons, but they are for me.
Customer Service:NA
Similar Products Used:Most everything. Tried all of the newer models, nothing rang out. Next best are the Callaway X-14 Pro Series. Cobra FP is a good iron too.

Home Joint Memorandum and ARC-MRC MOU Template Joint Memorandum: American Red Cross and the MRC
DATE: April 2, 2009
ARC and MRC signing the Joint Memo.
Download a printer-friendly version of the Joint Memo (Adobe PDF [45.2 KB]).
TO: American Red Cross Chapter and Medical Reserve Corps Unit Leaders
FROM: Joe Becker, Senior Vice President, Disaster Services, And American Red Cross; CAPT. Robert Tosatto, Director, Medical Reserve Corps, Office of the Surgeon General, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
SUBJECT: Local Partnerships between American Red Cross and Medical Reserve Corps
The very successful joint responses to hurricanes and other recent events by the American Red Cross and the Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) have highlighted the value of the growing partnership between these two organizations. They also show the importance of working together at all levels throughout the year on training activities and public health initiatives to make communities healthier, safer, and more prepared. We strongly encourage these interactions.
The MRC is a national network of local groups of volunteers committed to improving the health, safety and resiliency of their communities. MRC volunteers include medical and public health professionals, as well as others interested in strengthening the public health infrastructure and improving the preparedness and response capabilities of their local jurisdiction. The MRC Program was founded in 2002 and is housed in the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Office of the U.S. Surgeon General. There are currently over 800 MRC units and more than 175,000 MRC members who may support a number of existing local programs and agencies.
The American Red Cross is a humanitarian organization led by volunteers and guided by its Congressional Charter and the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross Movement. The American Red Cross provides relief to victims of disasters and helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies. Each year, hundreds of thousands of Red Cross volunteers respond to more than 70,000 disasters through over 700 locally supported chapters.
The missions of the MRC and the American Red Cross are complementary and working together will only better prepare and protect our communities to recover from disaster. The leadership of the Red Cross and MRC have held several planning meetings and we have reached a common understanding of how mutually beneficial support activities may evolve in the future. Basically, there are three ways for Red Cross and MRC volunteers to work together:
When MRC volunteers are working as MRC volunteers in a facility where the Red Cross is also working, the MRC volunteers should identify themselves as such (and not as Red Cross volunteers). In this situation, MRC volunteers will work under MRC or public health agency protocols and supervision.
When Red Cross volunteers are going to work as MRC volunteers, they will be processed through MRC volunteer intake systems. As MRC volunteers, they must adhere to MRC protocols and activity guidance, display MRC identification (and no Red Cross identification), and work under MRC supervision. Local MRC units and Red Cross chapters should work together to process Red Cross volunteers through MRC volunteer intake systems in advance of any disaster.
These different ways of working together are covered throughout the following scenarios. Response activities will likely progress in phases as the situation evolves, public health and medical systems degrade, and assets are overwhelmed. Events could be elevated from localized disasters and progress to Catastrophic Incidents. The situations displayed below will help to ensure closer coordination during a disaster at the local and national levels of both Red Cross and the MRC, providing specific considerations that local Chapters and MRC units will need to take into account before establishing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Each situation described below represents an increase in severity and incorporates all of the activities and recommendations that correspond to the situations described previously.
A. Situation: The local public health/medical infrastructure is intact.
Activities at Local Level:

Tito: Results will silence Beckett critics
May, 15, 2012
By ESPNBoston.com
If Josh Beckett pitches today (4 p.m. start) like he did his last time out (7 runs in 2 1/3 innings), he'll surely get booed off the Fenway Park mound again and some will continue to call for the Red Sox to trade him.
Terry Francona will not be one of those people.
Beckett's former manager, who is now an ESPN analyst, acknowledged that while Beckett is stubborn (as recently demonstrated by his standoffish response to questions about a golf outing after being scratched from a start), he thinks his results will eventually speak louder than his words.
Beckett's season has been a roller coaster through his first six starts. In four starts from April 13-29, Beckett was 2-2 with a 2.93 ERA in 27 2/3 innings. But if you add in his two stinkers (7 runs allowed in 4 2/3 innings on April 7 and the debacle his last time out), it balloons his ERA to 5.97.
"They want to build around him," Francona said. "People are forgetting. Up until about the end of August (last season), he was probably second or third in Cy young voting, then the wheels fell off. Not just him, but everybody. And he's had a tough start (this season). But rather than run from him, they want him to pitch like Beckett can pitch because that's how they're going to win."
Francona is referring to the disastrous ending to Beckett's 2011 season. Before giving up 12 earned runs over 13 1/3 innings in his last two starts, he was 13-5 with a 2.50 ERA.
"He likes to compete. He's not going to back down from a challenge, which is good. I just think when things are going good he gets locked in, he feels good about himself, and he's not there yet. It's going to take some work."
Do you agree with Francona? Do you still believe in Beckett or has he lost you? Vote in the poll above and sound off in the comments section.

Family celebration
A magnificent property. Superbly renovated, superbly equipped and situated in a beautiful rural area in Charente Maritime but within easy reach of towns/cities like La Rochelle, Saintes, Cognac, Royan etc. We were there to celebrate major birthdays and other anniversaries with our children and grandchildren and the house was excellent for these purposes with plenty of space and activities for the various age groups in comfort. The owners have been very helpful, friendly and efficient throughout our dealings and their local managers were also helpful with local advice. We have no hesitation in recommending this property.
Perfect house for 2 families
We were blown away when we arrived at the house as it was even more lovely than it looked in the pictures. It was all kept very up together and clean and was kitted out with everything we needed for our stay. Even though we didn't have the best weather, it didn't stop us using the pool almost every day which was heated to around 32 degrees! We could have quite happily not left the house all week, however, it was an ideal base as there was lots to do and see in the surrounding area. We would highly recommend the zoo at Royan which is an hour's drive away. The owners of the property have been very helpful and friendly. We would definitely come back to the house and recommend it to anyone.
Fabulous gite
This property has been beautifully restored. All of the rooms are very tastefully designed with very comfortable furniture. Large kitchen and a lot of outdoor space. Great pool with splash pool and lots of toys and amusements for kids of all ages. It is very well maintained and clean. Ten of us stayed in this give, age ranging from 1 year to 70 years and we all loved it and would recommend a week or even 2! It is very central to lovely towns like Saintes or Cognac and beaches like Forars or Royan. It was easy to book and the owners are delightful to deal with.
Thoroughly recommended - excellent!
Thoroughly recommended, the most comfortable holiday we've ever had!
If you've ever dreamed of paradise in the French countryside, this charming villa is for you! It is set in beautiful rural surroundings, perfect for photography - especially in the height of summer when the sunflowers in surrounding fields are in full bloom!
The owners have thought about your every need in this beautifully re-built and restored county retreat. The delightful, tastefully furnished spacious maison has plenty of living area – two large lounges - and couples 'old world' charm with modern comforts! The large, typically French kitchen was perfect for indoor dining although we spent most of our meal time dining al fresco! We had the choice of either the patio at the back of the house –where we made full use of the table tennis facility and built in BBQ, and the poolside patio – perfect for bathing and watching the children have fun on the toys in the well- stocked garden area. Particularly attractive - and always tempting -was the heated pool! We spent many hours playing with the children, having a sauna and enjoying an early evening glass of wine in the pool (plastic glasses are provided); we simply didn't want to get out! Our friends with young children also made extensive use of the adjoining side paddling pool which was also heated.
Being built of thick stone, the villa was cool to sleep in and the shutters provided extra French charm. The beds were really comfortable and the 5 large bedrooms provided bags of room. Everything was so clean and well-maintained, we found all we needed – from spare toothbrushes to spare combs!
The property provides a super base for exploring the region too, but best of all – we enjoyed cycling around the sunflower fields and into St Savinien to buy our daily baguettes!. There were plenty of bikes and helmets in varying sizes in the store room.Our boys loved cycling into Saint Savinien - on the banks of the Charente River - we even found a boating lake where they enjoyed sailing whilst we savored the ambience sipping a French beer!
You can choose to switch off from electronics if you wish to but we made full use of the Wifi and flat screen TVs available.
We can't wait to go again.

One of the best houses in this region!
We have stayed in a number of properties in France over the last few years but few have been as well presented or as comprehensively equipped as this superb house in the Saint-Jean-d'Angely area. Firstly the position of Poussardiere is excellent, a really peaceful rural location with views to the front across rolling countryside and yet just 35 minutes from the airport at Rochfort and less than an hour away from the beautiful town of La Rochelle. Although you probably need a car, local villages are convenient for daily necessities and very friendly (and patient with our pigeon French) and if inclined you can easily nip down to the shops in Saint Savinien a couple of miles away, on one of the various push bikes provided.
We expected great things from the write ups and photographs, and we can honestly say nothing let us down, indeed it was better than we imagined. The house is big! there was plenty of room for everyone, furnishings were quality and comfortable, there was wi-fi, English cable TV and the general presentation was really lovely. It took only minutes to feel completely at home. The swimming pool was clean, warm and great fun, a huge asset to the property, you can't keep kids out of it! and for the adults there is an excellent 'hot as you dare' pine sauna. On cooler evenings we were able to have log fires and play games or read books in the big living rooms.
Cooking and meal preparation was easy in the huge comprehensively equipped and well laid out kitchen with everything you would want together with a useful laundry room.
We would strongly recommend a day out to the very beautiful Il de Re.
In summary - we had a wonderful break in this wonderfully restored traditional house, we thought it represented excellent value and will undoubtedly be back (provided that is, there is any availability left after recommending it to all our friends!).
A super, chilled and relaxing place to stay..
What a wonderful holiday home!
Ourselves and another family went together with 5 children under the age of 5 and found the house ideal. We particularly liked the heated swimming pool with its safety fence and the children loved the pool toys and playing in the gardens.
We had two minor issues - both sorted by the efficient property managers within hours of being reported.
We couldn't fault it!

San Diego Symphony on Saturday night — the best concert ever
Yes. I'm going to go with that.
Garrett Harris 10:27 p.m., May 22
The professional football season is nearing a wrap and the campaign for San Diego mayor is ramping up, time yet again for another push by La Jolla real estate maven, Republican money-man, and U-T San Diego publisher Douglas Manchester for a new taxpayer-subsidized Chargers stadium.
And, judging by recent reports from Los Angeles, along with a campaign financing disclosure filed over the weekend by Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown, a familiar cast of L.A. area superrich will likely surface once more as Manchester's bogeymen, threatening to steal the team for La La Land.
U-T kicked off its latest scrimmage on the final day of November, with an editorial entitled "A new stadium for San Diego: It is time."
U-T San Diego ownership believes it is time, for the benefit of residents countywide, that a new multipurpose stadium be built in a private-public partnership.
The U-T Editorial Board in coming weeks will publish commentaries making the case for a new stadium. We will examine potential sites and the combination of facilities that should be built in conjunction with the stadium.
We will also explain in broad terms how a stadium might be financed without breaking the backs of taxpayers.
Whomever [the] mayor is can expect us to challenge him from Day One to work with the City Council, the business community, the Spanoses and the NFL, community groups and other stakeholders to get it done.
The new Manchester campaign comes on the heels of tales from Los Angeles about new Democratic mayor Eric Garcetti diving into the thick of that city's longstanding NFL intrigue, as reported by the L.A. Weekly.
Garcetti met in L.A. with Philip Anschutz, the head of AEG, who is still trying to bring an NFL team to Los Angeles.
Anschutz' firm, AEG, first announced plans to build a downtown football stadium nearly three years ago, to great fanfare.
But after winning approval from City Hall for Farmers Field, along with an expedited environmental process from the state Legislature, the deal stalled.
Garcetti took the helm in July, and according to the L.A. Weekly, an aide said then that getting a football team was "not a priority."
But Anschutz, a Denver-based billionaire, has continued to work on the deal in his own quiet way.
In early September, Anschutz reached out to the mayor's office to update Garcetti on the situation.
The two talked over the phone on Sept. 11, and arranged an in-person meeting during Anschutz's next visit to L.A. On Oct. 8, Anschutz brought to City Hall Dan Beckerman, the new CEO of AEG, and Ted Fikre, an AEG vice president.
Garcetti brought Glyn Milburn, a former NFL kick returner who now works in the mayor's Office of Economic Development. The next day, Milburn wrote an email to Fikre, thanking him for the meeting and saying "it is our hope that we can accomplish the goal of bringing football back to Los Angeles."
Whether or not anything emerges from Garcetti's putative bromance with Republican Anschutz, on November 23 the Anschutz Corporation made a $50,000 contribution to the reelection campaign of Democratic governor Brown.
Three days later, Majestic Realty Company, run by billionaire Ed Roski, who has long aspired to build an NFL stadium in the City of Industry, kicked in $54,400 for Brown.
Even more than a mayor, a governor can do big favors for any NFL hopeful who catches his fancy; two years ago, Brown signed a bill to "streamline" state-mandated environmental review of the Anschutz project. Brown's predecessor, GOP governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, earlier did the same for Roski.
In the subsidy and infrastructure battle to come, Brown could play a key role in handing out plenty of public money and regulatory approvals to advance the cause of his Los Angeles patrons.
Brown is likely to do no overt favors for longtime GOP kingpin Manchester, and, for that matter, San Diego, generally, other than to perhaps raise the perceived threat level of moving the Chargers from San Diego.
Skeptics argue that may be just what Manchester and the wealthy NFL owners need in a coming high pressure attempt to scare voters into approving a costly new stadium project here.
The governor's latest political foray into the city by the border, an endorsement of newly hatched Democrat Nathan Fletcher for mayor, ended with a third-place finish by Fletcher.
That effort was largely a production of La Jolla Democratic billionaire Irwin Jacobs, who had given heavily to the successful 2012 campaign for Brown's Proposition 30 tax hike measure.
Whether any of the recent public jousting is real, or the stadium game has already been fixed by the NFL behind closed doors, remains to be seen.
That sure is a pretty artist's rendering of a stadium--sitting on land that is not available.
No kidding. It would be just as realistic if the U-T showed a flock of winged unicorns flying out of their fantasy stadium.
Please, Chargers. Go!
Interim Mayor Todd Gloria said, in response to my Sept. 15, 2012 question (http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/20...), that the Chargers stadium should be built. But he didn't mention public funding, nor Manchester's ill-conceived site.
If the taxpayers of Los Angeles want to give a free stadium to a billionaire, let them. It would be a net win for San Diegans… we keep our money, there are no more blackout dates, and anyone who really wants to shell out hundreds to attend a game is already deep enough in that a trip to LA is hardly an obstacle.
If the games aren't sold out in LA (a real possibility), those games will be blacked out here, just like non sold out Charger games are currently blacked out in LA.
Manchester and the rest of his ilk are always quick to point out what a civic money maker a new stadium would be. Yet they numbers never add up and the taxpayers are left holding the empty bag.
I believe the taxpayers in New York are holding the bag full of bonds to pay off stadiums that have already been torn down.
If these stadiums are such civic money makers why doesn't Uncle Doug and the Goofus billionaire family who own the Chargers build their own, since there the only ones who will make money on the deal.
Aren't we taxpayers still paying off the seat expansion deal from many years back? That was to insure that San Diego got a Super Bowl . I'm sure all of you shared in the Super Bowl orgy of money that was brought to San Diego. And ten minutes after the game was over Paul Taglaboob stood in front over one in San Diego and said no more Super Bowls for you guys until you build the Goofus family a new playground. Extortion NFL style.
