Super Farmhouse. Great Holiday
The house was great. Very traditionally French and very clean, with everything we needed. A great free standing bath that was used many times with the French Windows open looking outside into the garden area.
We spent a week there with our dog Ted who loved it. He was able to roam about the grounds and made a little doggie friend who belonged to Honey and Gerard.
Honey and Gerard were great hosts always making sure we had everything we needed and helped us arrange seeing the vet for Teds tapeworm tablets to return home. They even had us round for dinner one night that was cooked by Gerard.
This area is beautiful and there were so many things to see and do. Info is in the house of what there is.
Lovely relaxing holiday in this super house.

About the Owner
About Laura Mayall
Hi there,
My name's Laura. I am the owner of Le moulin de Launay.
I fell in love with the place the moment I laid eyes on it and spent 15 years living in France while I renovated it with my husband.
When my daughter was born we moved back to the UK, so now I have wonderful caretakers over there to look after the houses and the animals.
It's a gorgeous part of France. I hope you have a wonderful time there.
Kindest regards,

Beautiful traditional French property in idyllic surroundings
We had a fantastic weeks stay here and were warmly greeted by Gerard who had cooked us a bolognaise for our first night accompanied by some wine and cider. He was always on hand to help as was Laura the owner if we had any queries. The property is beautiful and very well equipped and well kept. There is a lot to do in the surrounding area both for children and adults and we will definitely be returning! Thank you for a brilliant stay

dogs 'n all (continued)
There are plenty of decent restaurants in all the places already mentioned and we tended to use them for lunch and then bring back local produces for a light evening meal.
Overall, this property is just heaven and a relaxing place in the evenings to be after spending long days traipsing around the tourist sights.
Superbly run by Darren and Wendy who are both a credit to the industry and top notch hosts
Living the French countryside dream - dogs 'n all
We arrived at 1630 on our booking in day to be professionally and warmly greeted by Darren and Wendy the on-site managers, maintenance and go-to couple. Their warmth towards us and enthusiasm for the property and the job they do was very evident and got us off to a great start.
We had been allocated the Mill house section of the building which compromised of a fantastically large French country style kitchen, a dining room, a living room and a living room completing the ground floor.
Up on flight of the wide wooden staircase you enter a huge double bedroom with a 4 poster bed and en-suite bathroom with a separate roll top bath. Up one more flight of the wonderful wooden stair case is another large double room also with en-suite.
Being just the 2 of us along with our 2 black labrador dogs, we didn't do the property justice in regards with the use of it i.e. the living and dining rooms were not used at all in our 7 days there.
It is ideal for families or larger groups (there is an option to open up another double room attached to the first floor).
The grounds outside are secure giving those that have dogs or young children piece of mind. The grass area is of a good size (plenty of room for the dogs to run around) and well stocked with decent quality wooden furniture. Should you require a bit of privacy, the kitchen patio style back doors lead onto a more secluded area.
It was lovely to see the 10 or so chickens wandering around and they are lovingly cared for by Darren and Wendy and produce some great tasting eggs which we purchased. All money goes back into feeding and care of the birds.
On request a splash pool, BBQ and other items can be provided and to sit outside in the communal front area watching the glorious sunsets will remain in our memories.
Shopping day by day locally was simple with Carrefour and Intermarche supermarkets just a few miles away in the small town of Pontorson which also had a decent choice of Butchers, bakeries etc.
The vets were also located in Pontorson and it is worth getting their number to book an appointment if you are returning to the UK straight after your time at Le Moulin de Launay. English is spoken there and the cost for having the 2 dogs done for the pet passport scheme was just under 60 euros plus the cost of worming tablets ( we provided our own )
The location of the property means that most of the sights such as St Malo, Dinard, Dinan, Mont St Micheal, Foureges etc etc are no more than 30 mins.
Activity and Interests
We are superbly situated for visiting both the beaches to the west, such as Granville and also the beaches to the east such as St Malo.
Both are about 40 minutes of driving along lovely coastal roads.
There are several airports in Brittany serving destinations in Europe. TGV train services link the region with cities such as Paris, Lyon, Marseille, and Lille in other regions of France. In addition there are ferry services that take passengers, vehicles and freight to the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the Channel Islands.
Vieux-Viel Village
Our quaint village is only a short stroll away along the pretty lanes that run through the rolling countryside. The village has a small bar. 20 minutes walk.
Trans La Foret
Great boulangerie and the beautiful Ville Cartier Forest with its lakeside restaurant, parcour, (climbing trees on wires) boating lake, pony rides and kid's adventure playground. 40 minutes walk.
Further Details:
From casual pavement cafes to superb Michelin starred world class restaurants. For traditional Breton Fayre, try Sarrasin gallettes. and a mug of local cider. Jean Marc and Lawrence are the proud owners of our nearest restaurant which provides casual food in a casual atmosphere. A favourite restaurant with many of our visitors is La Cour Verte where you can watch as your choice of local meat is roasted on an open fire. Non-meat loving options are available too! For seafood lovers Cancale is a must. The pretty coastal town is dedicated to fabulous restaurants selling the very best seafood in the world.
Grab some culture and learn about the history of the area. The medieval museum in Dol de Bretagne has great displays.
St Malo aquarium is one of the best aquariums in Europe. You can sing in a yellow submarine and watch in awe as a shark swims over your head.
There are plenty around to visit and explore. Combourg is the most famous in the area and has a lovely lawns for picnicking. No visit to France is complete without a visit to one of the stunning chateaus.
Exploring Brittany by bicycle is just lovely. The speed of travel really suits the tranquil environment and gives you chance to see things that you could otherwise miss. No need to bring your own, we hire bikes.
Close by on the flat sands of Cherieux, you'll find top class sand-yachting.
Whatever it is that you love doing on holiday, you're pretty sure to find it nearby. . .
When you arrive you'll be given a visitor's pack with up to date information about the area and lots of ideas of what there is to do here. Whether it's a reservation for a romantic dinner for two at a great restaurant or directions to the best out-of-the-way sandy coves, your nearby hosts will be happy to help.

William is at the age of marriage and he is required if he is to be king. The only problem is that he doesn't have the interest in such things as marriage.
--Working on the summary--
--I'm still thinking of the title also :D Opinion would be appreciated--
The man had a few minutes to last. His body was pumped with the tainted blood inside him, and it was too much for a mere Draxion to handle. He knew this day would come; the moment he spurted blood from his mouth that seemed like an eternal sickness, the time when the God of Time told him the truth about his changing body and what happened to his father.
"No way, no way," he murmured as much as he could in his final hour.
It wasn't his last words, he thought of what to say to the God, what to say to his kid before he was relieved from the pain. And his wife, she was on the scene of the happening, the scene she couldn't escape. He wanted her to witness it. He wanted her to make sure that this never happened to his only son.
"Rynak, do you know the reason why this is happening?" the God said.
"Yes…" he forced it out.
He had soaked up too much sin and tainted his own pure blood. It was a matter of time 'till all of the tainted blood pushed all the remaining clean blood out of his body and completely take control. He was to become a Wilder, a loyal servant to the Eternal Darkness.
"I had warned you and your father that this was a great risk, and yet the two of you ignored it. This is the result of your ignorant action," the God of Time still had the time to lecture the dying husband. Feeling angry and pitiful.
"I… all I want… is a final request…" he was on his knees, drinking his own blood to keep himself from losing control.
"I am nothing but your adviser, I grant nothing. But I'll hear this request."
"P—please… take pity on my son… don't—don't let him suffer like this." Then he turned his final turn to his one and only woman. "Esther."
"I love you, please, please don't leave me!" she tried to touch him, but the God forced her back and away from him.
"I've gotten too far, Esther. Keep this… a s—secret, don't let him… know until he's ready… be strong, my love." The final drop of his own blood was pressed out. "And see to that he will become a great king, will you?"
The God hurriedly placed his palm on the now dead Rynak and the newly born Wilder, chanting, "Be gone Wilder! Let the Queen of the Underworld take you to where you belong!"
Wilders were muscular creatures that had skins of the night to shade themselves, strong and sharp teeth to sink their virus into their victims. Their eyes were blinded by the Eternal Darkness, showing no pupil, and their ears and reproductive organs were no longer with them—fallen off and disintegrated. Their nose was the only tool that could distinct their kin and prey. Wilders had no hair on their head or any other parts of their body but only a smooth yet sturdy skin. Their claws were strong as a bear and longer than the grizzlies, though they retained their humanoid feet with only growing a few inches bigger. They weren't the creature that was praised by the Eternal Darkness; they were merely expendable for the Eternal Darkness to toy with. The transformation from a normal humanoid being to a Wilder only took a total of a third of a second, making the Wilder extremely dangerous when guards were down.

(US Supreme Court in Motion Picture Patents Co., vs. Universal Film Mfg. Co. (243 U.S. 502, p.511, 1917)) IP and Development • History of IP is full of examples about the ways in which developed countries adapted the IP rules to their changing needs and how the levels of protection increased as their industrial and technological capacities improved over time – Citizens were allowed to patent imported inventions under lax originality requirements (Britain, Netherlands, Austria, France) – Switzerland had no patent law until 1888 and were imitating chemical and pharmaceutical technologies from Germany – The Netherlands abolished the patent law in 1869 enabling Phillips to produce light bulbs based on patents "borrowed" from Edison – As a net importer of copyright materials, till 1891 the US only allowed copyright protection to its citizens IP and Development • Three Stages of Technological Development • Initiation stage: Technology imported as capital goods • Internalization stage: Local firms learn through imitation under a flexible IPR regime • Generation stage: local firms and institutions innovate through their own R&D IP and Development • IP regimes moving away from stimulating genuine invention to a system for protection of investment in developing incremental innovations , whether truly inventive or not • For example, patent regimes with a low patentability threshold result in grant of a large number of lowquality and over-broad patents • European Commission has found that patents have been used as strategic tool by originator companies to delay or block the entry of generic competitors. UK Patent No 2438091 Development Oriented IP Policy - Challenges •IP policy has to be integrated into different aspects of national development policies •IP regimes must be in accordance with the realities of developing countries – innovation systems are fragmented and weak, and depend overwhelmingly on foreign innovations – very limited public sector investment in scientific activities – domestic firms generate «minor» or «incremental» innovations derived from the routine exploitation of existing technologies Development Oriented IP Policy - Challenges • Lack of local expertise • Technical assistance - appropriate development orientation • Greater coordination on IP issues between related government departments • Coercion exerted by developed countries to deter use of flexibilities and inappropriately raise standards of IP protection and enforcement • Different components of IP (patents, trademarks, designs, copyright) may warrant different approaches South-South Cooperation Some degree of political unity at the multilateral level but limited success in advancing a common agenda •Developing countries are learning from each other – The strict definition of patentability standards in the Indian patent law has inspired other countries to emulate the same – The Philippines, Argentina, China – Many developing countries are increasingly exercising the legal option of issuing compulsory licenses – predominantly for antiretroviral medicines, but also in some cases for anti-cancer drugs – Argentina adopted WHO-UNCTAD guidelines on examination of pharmaceutical patents – Egypt is using the WHO-UNCTAD Guidelines on examination of pharmaceutical patents South-South Cooperation •Examples of coordination among developing countries at the international level on IP – Coordination among the Friends of Development Group in WIPO – adoption of WIPO Development Agenda – Coordination among a cross-regional group of like minded developing countries - the Development Agenda Group (DAG) – in the CDIP and other WIPO committees – Group of Like Minded Countries (LMC) in text based negotiations on TCE, TK and GRs in IGC – Coordination among IBSA countries – Tshwane Declaration 2012 – MERCOSUR Ministers of Health (2009) stressed the importance of establishing common objectives for public policies and the IP system in the region, and promote the adoption of criteria for the protection of public health through patentability guidelines – EAC Draft Regional Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plan of Action stresses on adoption and full utilisation of TRIPS flexibilities Way Forward for South-South Cooperation • • • • • Developing countries should focus on developing and improving a proper framework for WIPO technical assistance in the area of cooperation for development Report on An External Review of WIPO Technical Assistance in the Area of Cooperation for Development – CDIP/8/INF/1 http://www.wipo.int/edocs/mdocs/mdocs/en/cdip_8/cdip_8_inf_1-main1.pdf DAG and Africa Group proposal on WIPO's Technical Assistance in the Area of Cooperation for Development – CDIP/9/16 http://www.wipo.int/edocs/mdocs/mdocs/en/cdip_9/cdip_9_16.pdf Mainstreaming the experiences of developing countries in technical assistance Future implementation of South-South cooperation programmes beyond the current CDIP project. – IP and Public Health: Improving examination of pharmaceutical patents – Exchange of information on the use of compulsory licenses and other IP flexibilities – Access to knowledge: exchange of information on copyright exceptions and limitations, and various copyright issues in the digital environment – Climate change and transfer of technology – Use of policies and structures to regulate competition abuse through IP – Open source innovation, experiences from developing countries e.g, Open Source Drug Discovery Project (India) How Can South Centre Assist • Facilitate involvement of think tanks, research institutions, academics and civil society from the South on issues of IP and development • Participation in meetings on South-South Cooperation • Involvement of SC experts in technical assistance programmes • SC assistance on national IP issues South Centre – Some Recent Activities • Regional Training Course for Latin American Judges on Intellectual Property and Public Health, Cartagena, Colombia, 6-9 March 2012 – Participation of judges from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru • Regional Course on Intellectual Property and International Trade, Buenos Aires, 23-25 July 2012 • South Centre-UNITAR online course on IP and Development • Workshop on Examination of Pharmaceutical Patents, New Delhi, May 2011 – Participation of patent examiners from all 4 patent offices in India South Centre – Some Recent Publications • Velasquez German, Carlos M.

KlingandeView in iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
French deep house project Klingande began in 2012 when Cédric Steinmyller became inspired by the music of Swedish House Mafia. Describing his piano- and saxophone-heavy sound as "melodic house," he released his first single, "Punga," online to positive feedback, but it was follow-up single "Jubel" that attracted wider attention. The song reached the Top Five of the French singles chart as well as that of other European countries including the U.K. and Sweden, and was eventually certified gold or platinum in seven countries. Both singles were co-written by Edgar Catry, but Klingande's subsequent work was solely produced by Steinmyller. Klingande's third single, "Riva (Start the Game)," featuring a harmonica melody and vocals by French singer Broken Back, was released in March of 2015. ~ Aneet Nijjar

Multi-beam-interference lithography (MBIL) is a relatively new technique which offers many advantages over more traditional means of fabrication. Unlike the more common fabrication methods such as optical and electron-beam lithography, MBIL is a method that can produce both two- and three-dimensional large-area photonic crystal structures for use in the infrared and visible light regimes. While multi-beam-interference lithography represents a promising methodology for the fabrication of PC structures, there has been an incomplete understanding of MBIL itself. The research in this thesis focuses on providing a more complete, systematic description of MBIL in order to demonstrate its full capabilities. Analysis of both three- and four-beam interference is investigated and described in terms of contrast and crystallography. The concept of a condition for primitive-lattice-vector-direction equal contrasts} is introduced in this thesis. These conditions are developed as nonlinear constraints when optimizing absolute contrast for producing lithographically useful interference patterns (meaning high contrast and localized intensity extrema). By understanding the richness of possibilities within MBIL, a number of useful interference patterns are found that can be created in a straightforward manner. These patterns can be both lithographically useful and structurally useful (providing interference contours that can define wide-bandgap photonic crystals). Included within this investigation are theoretical calculations of band structures for photonic crystals that are fabricatable through MBIL. The resulting calculations show that not only do most MBIL-defined structures exhibit similar performance characteristics compared to conventionally designed photonic crystal structures, but in some cases MBIL-defined structures show a significant increase in bandgap size. Using the results from this analysis, a number of hexagonal photonic crystals are fabricated using a variety of process conditions. It is shown that both rod- and hole-type photonic crystal structures can be fabricated using processes based on both positive and negative photoresist. The "light-field" and "dark-field" interference patterns used to define the hexagonal photonic crystal structures are quickly interchanged by the proper adjustment of each beam's intensity and polarization. The resulting structures, including a large area (~1 cm², 1 x 10⁹ lattice points) photonic crystal are imaged using a scanning electron microscope. Multi-beam-interference lithography provides an enabling initial step for the wafer-scale, cost-effective integration of the impressive PC-based devices into manufacturable DIPCS. While multi-beam-interference lithography represents a promising methodology for the fabrication of PC structures, it lacks in the ability to produce PC-based integrated photonic circuits. Future research will target the lack of a large-scale, cost-effective fabrication methodology for photonic crystal devices. By utilizing diffractive elements, a photo-mask will be able to combine both MBIL and conventional lithography techniques into a single fabrication technology while taking advantage of the inherent positive attributes of both.

Some thoughts and observations after the Dallas Stars dropped their third straight game, falling 5-2 to the Los Angeles Kings Thursday night.
The turning point of this game a brief span in the second when the Kings scored two goals in nine seconds to turn a 1-1 game into a 3-1 game. The Stars were playing well at that point, but a Brenden Morrow turnover led to the Kings' first goal and then Kings struck again right after the faceoff to take control of the game. Stars coach Marc Crawford didn't mention that turnover specifically, but it may be what he was ranting about after the game when he talked about overextending shifts to try to create a scoring chance. It backfired in this case and tilted the game in the Kings' favor.
This homestand has been a disaster so far for the Stars. They were 5-1-0 coming into it and are now 5-4-0 after the first three games. They've dropped the first three games and last two have been 5-2 losses.
The Stars have just four goals in the three games despite 99 shots on goal. On Thursday night, the Kings made the most of their chances. Their first three goals were all scored from close range – a rebound off a point shot, a rebound off a centering pass and a player driving the net on the third.
As we learned when the Stars won their first four games of the season, shots for and shots against don't determine who wins games. The Stars have outshot the opposition 99-74 over the last three games, been outscored 11-4 and lost all three of them.
Of the Stars' four goals on this homestand, two have come on the power play and the other two came at even strength and those two even strength goals were scored by the fourth line.
Jamie Benn got moved to the line with Morrow and Mike Ribeiro for this game and Adam Burish played with Steve Ott and Tom Wandell. It didn't really pay any dividends. We'll have to see if Crawford sticks with it.
Andrew Raycroft came in the game after the Kings scored their fourth goal, a shorthanded tally by Willie Mitchell, who had his pass towards the net bounce off the skate of Philip Larsen and by Kari Lehtonen. Raycroft, seeing his first action, played well in stopping all eight shots he faced.
Larsen played 19:03 in the game, had one assist, three shots, two blocked shots and a minus-two rating.
Jonathan Quick was excellent in net for the Kings. He had some quality saves and looked in control most of the night. Wayne Simmonds came up big, setting up the goal that gave the Kings a 2-1 lead and then scoring just nine seconds later to make it 3-1.

TORONTO -- Even after going hitless in the first seven games of the season, Brandon Inge wasn't about to panic.
Inge homered and drove in three runs, and Mike Maroth limited Toronto to two runs in six innings to help the Detroit Tigers beat the Blue Jays 5-4 Thursday night for their fifth win in six games.
Inge hit a solo home run in the third, singled in a run in Detroit's three-run fourth and added a sacrifice fly in the sixth.
"I just stuck with it, you know," said Inge, who snapped a 0-for-20 slide with a fourth-inning single on Wednesday. "This game has so many ups and downs. I've learned over the years just don't panic, just keep doing what you're going to do and it'll eventually come around.
"I was starting to get a little frustrated because I felt fine the whole time," he added. "There's times when I go up to the plate and I just feel terrible but not once in this whole stretch I had did I feel terrible. I felt like I was seeing the ball well, I was hitting the ball on the sweet spot of the bat. I just wasn't getting any hits."
Tigers manager Jim Leyland saw signs that Inge was ready to break out during Detroit's series against Baltimore.
"You're starting to see him realize that you just can't pull everything," Leyland said. "You could see that starting to come. He's been working on it and tonight it paid big dividends."
Maroth (2-0) was limited to 13 games last season because of arthroscopic surgery to remove bone chips from his left elbow. The 29-year-old left-hander allowed nine hits, walked two and struck out two.
"I did a good job of mixing my pitches tonight, more than I did my first start," Maroth said. "I wanted to use all my pitches and I did from the first inning all the way through the sixth inning. I used my curveball and my cutter more than I did my first outing."
Joel Zumaya pitched the last two innings for his first save and the second of his career. The first came July 11, 2006, also at Toronto, when he struck out four over three innings.
Detroit began the third with three straight hits off Tomo Ohka (0-1). Magglio Ordonez and Carlos Guillen hit back-to-back doubles and Sean Casey singled, putting runners at second at third.
Guillen scored when second baseman Aaron Hill bobbled a grounder from Craig Monroe. One out later, Inge singled through the drawn-in infield to score Casey.
Hill hit a two-run homer in the fourth for Toronto.
Toronto added two more in the eighth against Jose Mesa, who was lifted after opening the inning with a walk and single.
Zumaya came on and sent his first pitch to the backstop, moving the runners up and allowing Gregg Zaun to deliver a sacrifice fly. One out later, pinch-hitter Lyle Overbay doubled home another run, drawing the Blue Jays within one. Zumaya escaped by striking out Alex Rios looking.
Blue Jays third baseman Troy Glaus left after two innings for what the team called "precautionary reasons." Glaus, who is day to day, has been bothered by a sore left heel. He was replaced by John McDonald.
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said Glaus won't play Friday and will see a doctor in the coming days.
"We'll know a little bit more tomorrow," Gibbons said. "He's banged up. We knew that coming in."
In Glaus' only at-bat, he ended the first by grounding into a bases-loaded double play.
The Blue Jays know they'll be in trouble if Glaus is sidelined for any length of time.
"There's a lot of concern," Lyle Overbay said. "You've just got to deal with it. You're going to go through those times. Hopefully it's a short-term thing instead of a long-term thing."
Ohka allowed five runs -- four earned -- and eight hits in six innings.
- Detroit's Gary Sheffield snapped an 0-for-16 streak with a single in the first.
- Reed Johnson (sore back) didn't start for the Blue Jays.

Strong Beginnings
Excerpt: And Also Sharks by Jessica Westhead
We are collaborating with the Luminato Festival, and reaching out to Canadian writers to find out about the decisions they made when choosing to open their most recent works.
Here is an excerpt from Jessica Westhead's collection of short stories And Also Sharks. Afterwards, be sure to check out our Q&A with her about how she decided to start the first story in this collection, "We Are All About Wendy Now".
* * *
We Are All About Wendy Now
Our office is very community-minded. We hold two food drives a year: the first one at Thanksgiving and the second one not at Christmas, because the poor people get so much food from other food drives at Christmas that we like to surprise them with something extra on a random day when they're not expecting it.
We also look out for, as Sherry puts it, "our own little community." People are always asking how everybody is, how everybody's family is. Personally, I have never had much time for socializing at work. My reports keep me busy all day, right up until five o'clock when I would go home to Johnny.
Every so often, Sherry would come by my desk, sometimes after one of her vacations, and ask me how my day was going. That was about the extent of my socializing. I couldn't even tell you how many places Sherry's been; I know she's been to China and Australia, and when you go that far away you have to go for at least three weeks because of the jet lag. I only know that from Sherry. The farthest I've ever been was to Florida with my family, and it wasn't even all that warm when we went.
"That Wendy's not right," is what Sherry said to me when she came by my desk that October noon hour, and I honestly had to think for a minute before I could picture who she meant.
"Wendy who?" I was eating my ham sandwich, and the polar ice caps were on my computer screen. Apparently they're starting to melt, if you can believe that. I gazed at that big stretch of white and I thought, Winter is coming. Then my wheat field scene came on, with the environmentally friendly windmills, and I felt reassured.
"Wendy, who sits next to me!" said Sherry. "Haven't you seen her lately? She looks awful, and she smells awful because she's throwing up all the time. I think she's sick with something."
Now, the way our office is set up is, there's my desk, and next to me is Val, and then across from Val is Ruth P., and then beside her is Twyla (she's a temp), and diagonal from her is Ruth C. And then there's Kevin (the only man on staff other than Mr. Vanderhoeven) next to Ruth C., and kitty-corner from them is Sherry, and then Wendy's desk was beside hers.
I knew I'd passed Wendy's desk a hundred times, because she was directly across from Mr. Vanderhoeven's office and that's who I bring my reports to every week. But at that moment, I just couldn't picture her.
"She's got streaks in her hair," said Sherry.
And then there she was, pop, right in my brain. Wendy with the streaks. I heard people saying a few things after she'd gotten them done. Not mean things, just sort of observations that it wasn't one of the best streak jobs they'd ever seen.

That includes lots of folks who've been out enjoying snowmobile trails all over the state this winter.We checked in with one club on Sunday, who says despite tough economic times – their membership is up."We're riding snowmobiles!"Beautiful weather brought lots of people out riding this weekend – taking advantage of prime conditions."The trails have been the best they've been in a lot of years," says Corinth Snowmobile Club President Duane Blanchard. "We've got a lot of snow, probably another 2 to 3 weeks of winter left and you can head from here anywhere you want to go.""We came from Kenduskeag, we went over to Hudson to the lake and we're headed back now," says James Millet. He stopped by the Corinth Snowmobile Club – also known as the Powerline Prowlers – with a group for a bite of home-cooked food."We have hamburgers, hotdogs, onion rings, french fries, grilled cheese..and each weekend we do two specials and homemade sweets," says the club's "Gram," Jean Clement.Blanchard says his club is growing, despite the bad economy, since people are sticking to trails closer to home."With the local economy we're trying to open it back up and let families and everyone start using it again."Membership costs 22 dollars. "Ten dollars goes toward your local clubs and the rest goes to the state which eventually comes back to our trail grooming and pays for a lot of what you ride on.""They do a good job with the trails around here," says Millett.And all that snow predicted for Sunday night…was no worry to folks around here."I'm looking forward to the next snow storm!" says Clement."I'm hoping we get a big another big one," says Blanchard. "And hopefully another one after that."

No Englishman is approaching this World Cup with a greater sense of wonderment than Steve Thompson. Four years ago, at the 2007 tournament, he could be found propping up the bars of Paris, enjoying himself as retired players are entitled to do. His weight had ballooned to 138kg, specialists having advised him his neck was too weak to contemplate playing again.
As he re-tells the story, even Thompson himself sounds faintly incredulous. "Four years ago I was drunk and a lot heavier as well. I was enjoying my time off and my retired life. I hadn't even thought about coming back. At the time there was no chance. The surgeons were just happy my neck was working to normal standards. It wasn't even a thought in my mind to play again."
Yet here he is back in harness, preparing to take on Wales in Cardiff this weekend as his country's most-capped hooker (with 66), almost as boyishly enthusiastic as he was in 2003 when he was part of England's trophy-winning squad in Australia. Now 33 and weighing in at around 115kg, there is no one better placed to reflect on the vicissitudes of professional sport or the lurking dangers of burn-out.
It is a totally different story now but in the darkest days he could barely bring himself to go training. "I'd fallen out of love with rugby. When you're battering yourself and your heart's not quite in it, it's a hard game to play. I was enjoying not having to do fitness sessions and feeling the worst you can feel. It was simply a product of playing back-to-back rugby for five or six seasons. Physically I was losing strength but was still playing. I was getting battered and burnt out."
Life on the sidelines only ended when Thompson went for a second opinion, received a more positive verdict and repaid his insurance pay-out of £500,000 in order to launch a second career with Brive. He subsequently returned to England to play for Leeds and is now contracted to London Wasps, as motivated as anyone on the eve of a new season.
"I've got the fire back in my belly and I'm training as hard as I can do," he says, determined to push Dylan Hartley as hard as possible for the starting jersey in New Zealand. "That's the whole point. We've all got to push each other and the squad is more competitive now than it has been for a long while. If you play as well as you can you've always got a chance of starting the next Test."
This weekend's game is important in that respect and Thompson knows from experience a lot can still change. "People said in 2003 you could easily see what the squad was going to be, but you can never tell until you're actually named and are on the plane. You can't take anything for granted. We've got strength in depth in all positions and if someone's not on their game, they will be dropped and someone will come in and take their opportunity."
With 40 players remaining and only 30 places available, however, time is running short for certain individuals. "As an old head I look around the squad and know there are going to be some really disappointed people," Thompson says. "To drop 10 of them at this stage is pretty harsh."
Unlike in 2003, he senses the current side still have plenty of improvement in them. "In 2003 we just hit the World Cup in the nick of time. This time we've had some highs and lows but as a squad, we're moving forward. That's all you can ask for going into a World Cup. We've got to step up as a squad from last week's game and make sure we keep making strides rather than going back."
With only three hookers left, though, the durable Thompson's participation is assured, always assuming the team outfitters can cope with his new dimensions. "The neck's stronger and more flexible than it's ever been, which makes it an absolute nightmare getting shirts. When you ask for a 21-inch collar you get a tent attached to the bottom of it. It's quite embarrassing sometimes. I think people still imagine me to be the size I was four years ago."

The Hydrélio system will be best used in unused stretches of water, such as quarry lakes, irrigation ponds, water treatment plant lagoons and dams, Ciel et Terre said. "This new floating solar power generation concept addresses the problems of land availability and landscape impacts that large-scale land-based solar power generation projects come up against," it said. "It makes it possible to conserve land that can be put to other uses, and to convert unused stretches of water into spaces dedicated to renewable electricity production. These stretches of water cover substantial areas."

There is little doubt that these two sides are the ones who will be fighting it out for the championship. I reckon that Arsenal will win it again but this time United will be much closer. And the signing of Rio Ferdinand is the main reason why.
Arsenal, though, have the benefit of all their French stars having a longer rest than expected and the Brazilian Gilberto Silva looks a great buy at just £4.5million.
It's not surprising to learn that Arsene Wenger has only spent £26m since taking over Arsenal when you take into account his sales.
They looked very good against Liverpool on Sunday and, as Wenger pointed out, that was without Robert Pires and Freddie Ljungberg. This must surely be the year that Arsenal impress in Europe, where they have so often under-performed.
How about a Champions League final at Old Trafford against Manchester United?
And what about the other London teams? Chelsea are the only other club capable of makinga challenge but selling Sam Dalla Bona and trying to flog Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink does not suggest a successful season, and my prediction is that Chelsea will fail to qualify for Europe.
Chairman Ken Bates will then be looking for a new manager by the end of the season.
Some West Ham fans I know seem happy enough if they finish above Tottenham and get a few players in the England squad. With the talent they've got they should be challenging for a place in Europe but, as ever, I expect them to underachieve.
Unless Joe Cole and Michael Carrick are able to dominate games from midfield, and Paolo Di Canio performs every week, West Ham could actually be facing a relegation fight.
Joining them will be Fulham. They have had their fun in the Premiership but teams this time around will not be so generous.
Last but not least I come to Tottenham. I'm told that the bosses at White Hart Lane, whoever they may be, are fed up with me criticising Spurs. Since I pay a fortune each week to watch them and they've won nothing much for decades, I feel I'm entitled to say what I think.
Plenty of my mates actually believe that Tottenham will do well this year, but they are really putting hope above reality. I expect Spurs will continue to play attractive football and win the odd big game, but without a decent striker they will struggle to challenge for honours.
If all goes well, Jamie Redknapp and Milenko Acimovic perform, and with Stephen Carr back to firm up an already decent defence, Tottenham might nearly qualify for Europe.
They must know that the only way to quieten the critics is by performing on the pitch and I for one want to be shut up.
I always like to pick an outsider to do well, as Newcastle did last season, and my tip this time around is Blackburn Rovers, mainly because I like their shirts.
Beeb should show a bit of ArseAs a small boy I loved to snigger when calling Arsenal-"The Arse''. I soon discovered, though, that even Gunners fans enjoyed the joke.
When Sky TV came along and put the latest scores in the top left-hand corner of the screen even they called them "ARSE''.
But I was shocked to see that for the Community Shield highlights, Match of the Day had a team called "ANL'' playing Liverpool.
I know Arsenal have done a lot to counter racism and actually finished the game with eight black players, but calling them ANL after the Anti Nazi League is going a bit over the top. I've started a campaign for the BBC to bring back the "ARSE''.
Clough solves Keane carry-onBrian Clough had the right idea. When Roy Keane was playing for Nottingham Forest and had upset the great man, Clough simply whacked him in the face.
Just reading the highlights of Keane's autobiography you realise that Keane is an idiot. Any sympathy you may have had for this overpaid thug is lost when he complains how he had to carry his own bags at the airport when playing for the Republic of Ireland.
Next thing you know they will be making him put on his own green shirt. Or not as, thankfully, this is one footballer who will never be asked to play for his country again.
Poisoned chalice for SheepshanksHaving put all the blame for their own incompetence on David Burns and Keith Harris, Football League bosses have now appointed David Sheepshanks, the chairman of Ipswich, to temporarily take over. Sheepshanks is often written up as a capable chap, though he too backed the ITV Digital deal. Some people also conveniently forget that his team got relegated after only two seasons in the Premiership. But what else would you expect from a man who donates money to the Tory Party?
Leeds fans in a spinA Leeds supporter rang me last week when she read I had met Peter Ridsdale in the House of Commons.
She wanted to know why she hadn't received her season ticket yet. It's a shame this information wasn't in my possession when I saw him.
"They took the money months ago, but with the season just a week away I'm a bit concerned that the season-ticket books haven't arrived in the post yet," she said. The club told her only that it "hoped'' to have them out soon.
Ridsdale doesn't have to worry about trivial things like this anymore because he has hired the best spin doctor in the business to work for him.
Well that's what Max Clifford likes to think he is, anyway. Leeds would be better off hiring a few extra staff in the ticket office. For the money they are paying Clifford they could probably afford to hire a hundred workers.
No spin doctor can help Leeds unless they win something this season and that's down to Terry Venables - not a bad spinner himself.
Most people actually believe him when he says he's been a successful manager.
Players shown in a bad lightCricket bosses usually get plenty of stick from the media, but for once I would like to praise them.
The decision to let children in free for the last day of the Second Test at Trent Bridge not only ensured a great atmosphere but also helped to secure the future of the game. Surrey, at The Oval, were the first side to offer youngsters free admission to a Test match and it hasn't done them any harm.
It's a pity the players don't have the same attitude.
Their decision to come off for 'bad light' on Saturday evening was shameful.
The light was perfectly okay and to throw away nine overs when the game was still winnable was just bad captaincy.
The paying spectators were, of course, never even considered and once again were sold short. It would be far better if the decision on light was one solely for the umpires and not the players.

CBC's 'The National' Is The Peter Pan Of News
The announcement that Peter Mansbridge will be leaving the CBC's flagship television news program, The National, should mark the end of old timey ways of presenting current events at the public broadcaster (even that sounds old timey).
Increasingly, many of us use social media and the Internet to graze on news all day. The advantages are clear. We get news as it breaks and access to a huge range of sources from all over the world -- and not just from the old reliables like traditional newspapers in electronic form and television networks in Internet form -- but a range of other players, the Huffington Post included.
The electronic availability makes news more, well, newsy because nowadays 12-hour-old news is old news. It also makes information available through a wide range of lenses.
Do we really need another Mansbridge?
There was a time, not so long ago, in Canada when we depended on the editorial decisions of a few at the hub of a few daily newspapers and a couple of television stations, notably the CBC and its rival CTV. Rapidly, these sources are becoming like rotary landline telephones. Sure there are people who use them, but with each obituary, they become fewer.
Weirdly, there is a debate happening among those nostalgic about the old dominion that was once Canada, about who should replace Mr. Mansbridge. When he took over the anchor desk, he was typical for the day -- a fatherly, authoritarian figure with a deep voice that could read us the tragedies and bad news of the day while reassuring us that all would be OK.
But times have, thankfully, changed. The radicals among the chattering classes have even suggested that, wait for it... a woman should take the helm. Or perhaps a young hipster would shine up the old trophy.
Not surprisingly, I take a contrarian view. Do we really need another Mansbridge? Do we need to be coddled and read to at bedtime? Isn't time to ask ourselves if our publicly subsidized news network needs to be in this space?
My view is that there is no longer be a need for a highly-paid person to read us the news headlines. We have it all at our fingertips -- on our smartphones, tablets and computers -- and through a number of platforms and outlets. The few times when I awake from TV slumber and happen to catch The National because it's what's on when I open my eyes, I almost always say to myself "knew about this hours ago..." then crawl to bed.
Mansbridge does not leave until July 1, 2017, so the mother corporation that is the CBC has plenty of time to rethink The National. So much time, in fact, that many more of its loyal viewers will have passed on. Fewer and fewer people who will be there to protest the change.
The National is like Peter Pan without the free spirit and mischief making. It seems to never grow up. Its managers are really the Lost Boys of the news game.

Gotta love that comb-over Peter!
Do you remember Peter having hair? It seems like he was born with a mostly bald head with white hair on the sides.
DAMN, Peter. If we were only a few years older...
At first glance we thought the 'Bridge was wearing a jean vest under his suit. We were sorely mistaken.
This is casual Peter. Casual Peter likes his coffee dark and his toast without butter.
Peter is jealous of Royal Canadian Air Farce comedian Luba Goy's orange scarf.
Peter (with former TV journalist Pamela Wallin) gets all gussied up in a classic tux. But why didn't he represent his home country and wear a proper Canadian Tuxedo?
Did Peter and former Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin purposely wear matching suits and ties?
Red and white stripes. Can't get more Canadian than that.
"Ha Ha Ha! Your suit is not as nice as mine Stephen Harper!"- Peter Mansbridge in our totally made up conversation.
It's hard to look more stylish than former Governor General Michaelle Jean, but Peter's wild blue tie is trying its best to compete.
All we see is BLUE TIE.

Asked by BoBo1946 (15285) October 15th, 2010
I've googled this question and didn't come up with an answer that my small brain can understand. So simply put, what is going on? I'm answering questions on Fluther and everything is fine and all of sudden for as much as 20 minutes it freezes up and then it's okay. I do a control, alt, and delete, but to no avail.

Camp Concordia
A summer at summer camp from a counselor's prospective.
"Nice fire, Garret. It's as big as the one in this picture at my school where the women were burning their bras. In retrospect, had they had the cute bras that we do now, they may not have been so eager to burn them. And bras are expensive." So much for the reserved, quiet Kayla from a few hours ago. Get a few drinks in a person, and even the shy ones will start talking about burning bras.
I laughed; we all did. With all of Paul's meet-n-greet games done and over with, we could finally get to really know each.
"I could make it bigger if you'd really like me to," Garret said as he threw another log into the pit. He'd only had one beer.
"If you make it any bigger, it's going to be dawn before it goes out," Luke suggested from his seat on the bench. He was the only one sitting down, and aside from me, the only one who hadn't anything to drink.
"Oh, who cares?" Kayla announced loudly as she clumsily tried to throw a stick into the blaze. I had stopped counting after she had downed four cans of beer.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw movement in the shadows that surrounded the blaze. "Did you get the music?" Isaac hollered to Mike and Lewis. Isaac had sworn that he would stop after two beers, yet he held his third in his hand.
"Of course," they said as the entered the circle of light. "Did we not promise you the gift of music?" Mike spoke as he set his boom box on the picnic table. He grabbed a can off of the table, and took a swig of his fourth of the evening.
"And what good would that be without duh, duh, duh, duh… CDs?!" Lewis was matching Mike swig for swig as they raced through their cans. It seemed like they had been racing through everything all day. Right now, I think they are tied as of the moment.
"Are you really gonna stay sober all night?" Lois asked as she once again tried to get me to 'loosen up and have some fun.' Lois had only had two beers, but she weighed in at about 93lbs, so she was pretty much wasted.
On the other side of me, Jeanine finished off the last of her can. She had said that she would have some, and one can was her limit. I was glad she was here; she made me seem less quiet.
Annie stood up dance as the music started playing. She hadn't had quite as much to drink as Kayla had, but she was close. Somehow they pulled Garret in, and the three of them cast dancing shadows into the shadows surrounding our campfire.
As the song finished, Panic! At The Disco's "There's A Good Reason Why These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought Of It Yet" began pouring out of the speakers. Granted, it wasn't the greatest dancing music, but it was loud, and it was fun. Lois pulled Luke to his feet to join her as she began dancing. Luke looked pleadingly at his fellow counselor seated beside him. When he stood up, my heartbeat picked up the pace.
CJ began dancing beside Luke who was trying desperately to keep a beat. Between Lois and CJ, he wasn't doing too terrible of a job. At first I was shocked to see CJ dancing, and apparently so was Luke, but I guess that after a few beers, even reserved people will start moving along to the beat.
Jeanine looked at me, and I nodded. We both stood up and joined in with the others. The next song was "Sandstorm," and we all started jumping up and down. "I've missed camp so much," I yelled over the music.
"Me too," Jeanine yelled back.
This was our first day of our summer at Camp Concordia. I had wanted to be a counselor here for at least six years, and here I was with the whole summer ahead of me. My counselor from last year, Lois, was back again along with Luke, CJ, and Jeanine. Last year Jeanine's older brother Eric and his girlfriend, Kelly, had been counselors, but they hadn't come back this year. Garret was back, of course, but he was the Camp Director Paul's son. He and I and Kayla were the youngest. Then Annie, Lewis, Jeanine and Michael were a year older. Isaac and CJ were two years older while Luke was three and Lois was four years older. Last year I had been a junior counselor because I had yet to turn eighteen and graduate high school.
For the last four or five years, the camp had been growing, and this was the largest number of counselors the camp had employed in over fifteen years. To be fair, Lewis, Michael, and Annie weren't counselors. Lewis and Michael were employed as kitchen staff while Annie was our medic. But the rest of us were here as counselors.
Finally we all sat back down on the picnic tables as a slightly slower song came on. "We need food," Lewis said. Murmurs of agreement went up among the crowd.
"I'll get some," CJ said with a slight slur in his voice. He was definitely more attractive when he was sober. "Hey, Haleigh, want to help me?"
Not that he was unattractive when he wasn't sober. "Sure," I shrugged my shoulders nonchalantly and followed him out of the circle of light and into the shadows. It took me a moment for my eyes to adjust to the dark, but when they did, I was easily able to negotiate my way to the lodge without killing myself on any obstacles. CJ was silent the whole way there.
Once we were in the kitchen with the light on, he turned to me. "Sorry I didn't keep touch as well as you did."
"That's fine," I said as I turned to open a cupboard to search for some food. I felt my cheeks go red. I had gotten CJ's email address last year, and I had sent him myriad emails over the course of the school year. He hadn't sent me near so many. "You were busy. I expect to be busy in a few months too."
"I saw you watching me across the campfire."
What does someone say to that especially when that someone thought that they were being so sneaky? "Um…"
I felt him move a little closer to me. "I wish I had been a better pen pal."
"Like I said, it's fine." I turned back around to find him only inches away from me. The urge to back up was so strong that I thought I would burst, but with the counter already right behind me, there was no point in making an awkward situation out of this. "You were busy." I moved out from in front of him and continued my search. Eventually I came up with marshmallows, chocolate, and animal crackers. Graham crackers were not to be found. "Does this look good to you?" I asked.
CJ had been leaning against the counter behind him. Pushing himself off of it, he walked over to where my findings lay. Turning to me once more, he put his hand on the small of my back, moved me so that I had my back to the counter, and left a trail of kisses from my ear to my the corner of my lips. I was so stunned that I stood rigid in the circle of his arms.
"Are you alright?" he asked, and his breath was warm against my cheek. I nodded and he kissed my forehead. "Do you want to meet later tonight?" I nodded once more. "Cool. I'll break away from the group, and you can come pick me up past Paul's house. K?"
"Sure," I whispered as he picked up the bag marshmallows and tub of animal crackers. I scooped up the Hershey bars.
As we reentered the circle of light, it was obvious that the drinking was in full force once more. Silently we set the food on one of the tables. I returned to my seat, but CJ left in the direction of the BMX trails that ran along the lake. "Where're ya going?" Garret called.
"A walk. I don't feel so hot," CJ called back and Garret let him go.
Now I just had to figure out how I was going to get away from here. While I was trying to come up with a plan, I decided that it was crazy for me to do something like this, and that the only reason CJ wanted anything to do with me was because he was intoxicated. In the end I decided that I would go meet CJ and explain to him in a very rational matter that I wasn't interested in going anywhere with him while he was drunk off his feet.
It's too bad. I had dreamed about such kisses and such a nighttime excursion in only my most pleasant dreams. This is why I don't drink because I don't want to end up doing what CJ had done and go after someone whom I would only be interested in if I had had torrents of alcohol streaming through my bloodstream. Alcohol makes people do stupid things, and I can do stupid things all on my own; I don't need any help.

sucy makes me feel things.
scares you with your level of arousal?
Shit if I know. Maybe its explained in the game but I ain't gonna buy it, only the cards needed to make the badges to get super expensive emotes and shit.
I know it's fuckin better than yours beyotch.
It's "In Memory of My Dad" from the game "Zombitatos the end of the Pc master race". I haven't played the game but considering how ironically great the emotes and backgrounds are I don't think I need to.
Menar du snö? Det är ju snö ute.
I wanna ask you about your progressive rock fetish.
(Our time will come :^) )
(It was a great idea)
I use to be big into them as a teen, The Fragile is still one of my fav albums of all time.
Well I've seen you post them a few times maybe you don't idk
You into NIN? You post em a lot.
