Looking for vacation rentals in the Ozark Mountains of Northwest Arkansas? Call now to reserve one of historic Eureka Springs most memorable vacation homes... Rock Haus Lodge.
Rock Haus, delightfully reminiscent of a European chalet, is built from authentic Ozark native limestone. Experience timeless southern comfort, Ozarks style, in a true home. We know, it's where we raised our family!
We have thoroughly restored our rock house - artfully preserving the original character while adding modern conveniences for enjoyable country living in the 21st century.
Approximately 15 to 20 minutes away are Beaver Lake and the White Rivers to the west, Table Rock Lake at Holiday Island to the north, and the Kings River to the east. Rock Haus is conveniently located on 25 private acres a quarter mile outside of the Eureka Springs city limits.
For a little eco-tourism closer to home, a quarter mile laid-back walk (or drive) along our seasonal rocky-bottom clear water creek will lead you to Black Bass Lake Park. It features a 13 acre spring-fed lake on 60+ acres and a 2.5 mile hiking trail.
If shopping, dining, and entertainment are important to you as well, you're in luck. Rock Haus Lodge is only 2 miles, 4 minutes to the heart of historic downtown Eureka Springs.
Rock Haus is the perfect setting for exceptional experiences and extraordinary memories.

Rock Haus was our Kline family home until the fall of '06 when we moved out to prep Rock Haus for rentals beginning in 2007. My daughter Sigrid and son Forrest live in Maui. My family moved from Shreveport LA to Eureka in 1992, becoming shop owners for 17 years. I then migrated to The Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce from 2009-2014. Currently on the plate is Rock Haus Eureka (9 years!) ... renovator/partner of Mountain View Apartments ... and 'Mom' to my 12-year-younger developmentally challenged sister Holly. Suzanne Williams Kline
Suzanne Kline / Facebook> Rock Haus Eureka purchased this house in 1995
The Klines bought Rock Haus as their personal home after searching for nearly three years for something just right. Being so close to town, it was perfect for raising the children near their schools and friends. But . . . the privacy and acreage provided a quiet setting, as if out in the country. The features of Rock Haus were unique, authentic, well-preserved, and unlike any other home in their thorough 3-year quest. Suzanne's picturesque, homestead vision had materialized.
Situated on 25 acres on a private road, Rock Haus is only 2 miles from the heart of historic downtown Eureka Springs. It is only 1/4 mile easy walk or drive to Black Bass Lake, a city owned park/lake with a 2.5 mile hiking trail around the lake. Rock Haus has one-of-a-kind, original 1800s architectural features that have been extremely well maintained. With the local owners keeping oversite of Rock Haus, cleanliness and guest satisfaction are at the top of the list.
Thank you for sharing your home with us! We had a wonderful and relaxing time - it was just what we needed. You have put your heart and soul into this house, which makes it a home. The artisan craftmanship is beautiful and your decor is fabulous. We enjoyed it all from the hikes, fishing, reading in the twin nook, shopping in town to quiet evenings on the deck beneath the stars. Your quilts are so beautiful, we bought two at your store to take back home with us! We'll be back and definitely tell all our friends about the wonderful treasure - Rock Haus Lodge!
We stayed at the Rock Haus for my sons wedding in Eureka and it far exceeded my expectations! It was absolutely wonderful. We stayed for three nights and discovered some new treasure every time we entered the house. It has a rustic feel with all the modern conveniences! The house is cozy and spotless and the grounds are beautiful. It made a wonderful setting for wedding pictures. Suzanne, the owner was most accommodating and helpful. I hope to visit the Rock Haus again and I would highly recommend this property to others. Thank you Suzanne for sharing this most enchanted home.
This home is cared for with love and attention to detail even down to the flower plantings at the entry door. We enjoyed everything about it, the keyless entry, A/C controls upper and lower level kept it very comfortable, convenient to a good variety of restaurants, grocery, bakeries, and entertainment. Kitchen was well stocked with all the small appliances, cookware, dishes we needed, bedrooms have wonderful soft mattress's. The dining area looks out onto a private wooded park like yard, where you might spot some wildlife early morning or evening as we did. If you can break away from the charming inside of this home you can enjoy outdoor entertainment on the spacious deck area, or lovely stone patio. Being a seasoned traveler, I'd have to say this is the best kept vacation home we have stayed in. Thank you Suzanne for your hospitality!
we had a blast in eureka. staying at this place was really a one of kind deal. it was a beautiful property that was secluded yet really close to town. we will be coming back. highly recommended.
This is a beautiful property and my boys (ages 2 to 60) all loved exploring the creek and nature at this lovely home! It was extremely clean with every desirable amenity. The bedrooms are roomy and the beds are very comfortable. We all enjoyed the local activities including the Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge, The Promised land zoo and a day on Beaver lake, but every evening felt like coming home to the Rock Haus. It truly made a spectacular getaway and we can't wait to return! I wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else.
My sister and I treated our parents to 4 days at this lovely home far enough off the beaten path to give us the peace and quiet we were looking for. It was close enough to town that we could break the day up with small visits in town and a return to this beautiful home. We weren't looking for anything but a chance to eat, drink and spend time telling stories and connecting with our family. Thanks to the owners for providing such a perfect location for this to happen. We wanted for nothing while we were here and hated to leave. We will definitely be back!
I've had mostly good experiences with VRBO, and one horrible experience. This is by far the best property we have rented. The pictures do not do it justice. It is beautifully decorated. It is spotlessly clean. Close to Historic Downtown but not TOO close. Quiet and secluded with fun easy walks in every direction. If we are ever able to get back up there we will not settle for anything less. Suzanne gave us the best recommendations for restaurants and we tried each but one. The Local Flavor Café was by far my favorite and my husband liked the Gaskins steakhouse the best. The coziness and attention to detail in this property made us dream of striking it rich and offering any price to make it our own. Thanks for everything, it was a trip to remember!
Rock Haus is located in a creekside valley on 25 private acres, yet only 2 miles from the heart of historic downtown Eureka Springs. A 1/4 mile easy walk or drive from Rock Haus is the 13 acre Black Bass Lake, a city-owned lake with a 2.5 mile hiking trail. Beaver Lake ( west ) and Table Rock Lake ( north ) are both about a 15 to 20 minute drive. The Kings River is about a 20 minute drive to the east.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - March 16, 1999, New Braunfels, Texas ► Horizons The New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung continues its annual Horizons sections today with Landmarks. See some familiar places from the past, including those which remain part of our landscape. / Inside 20332 MOOO 10/22/99 SO-WES T hIC RO PUBLISHING 26 2 7 E YR NI) EL. I. DR HeraldVol. 148, No. 82 12 pages in I section March 16, 1999 rpT itt Serving Comal County since 1852 SO cents Tuesday Residents pick apart future plan City council, planners discuss latest changes By Bill O'Connell Staff Writer New Braunfels residents took verbal jabs at a comprehensive plan for the city's fiiture Monday, saying the document could use further revision before being adopted. Some residents who worked on an advisory sub-committee that made recommendations on land use and zoning policies included in the plan said their ideas were not incorporated into the latest version, or any previous drafts, for that matter. "The paperwork never comes out (showing) what we put into it," said land use sub-committee member Melvin Nolte. The city hired national consulting firm Wilbur Smith Associates in 1997 to write a plan recommending how to manage city resources through 2020. Nine advisory sub-committees comprised of about 330 city residents made recommendations to the consultant regarding the plan. Monday's public meeting between New Braunfels City Council and city planning commissioners was said to be an opportunity for city officials to discuss the latest revisions. The meeting appeared to indicate that not everyone was satisfied with the current draft of the proposed document. Nolte said some of his fellow land use sub-committee members were "frustrated" by what they perceived as a lack of attention to their input. "These things are not making it into print," he said. Wilbur Smith Associates project manager Mike McAnelly said recommendations to the plan were not necessarily expressed verbatim in the text of the document. He also downplayed suggestions that the latest plan draft could trigger a citywide rezoning of private property. Recent changes to the comprehensive plan omitted language that might be interpreted as granting city officials carte blanche to initiate sweeping zoning changes across the city. "It's not a comprehensive rezoning study," McAnelly said. Current city ordinances already gave Child's play causes fire Experiment with lighter, combustibles engulfs storage shed By Heather Todd Staff Writer . Two New Braunfels juveniles learned the hard way not to play with fire. An experiment with a lighter and a few combustible materials engulfed a storage shed and surrounding grass in flames Monday afternoon, just IOO feet from residents of an apartment complex. New Braunfels Fire and Rescue crews were called to the scene of a structure fire behind Vista Del Sol Apartments, 795 Interstate 35 West, shortly after 3 p.m. New Braunfels Fire Marshal Elroy Friesenhahn said investigators identified two juvenile suspects, ages 8 and 9, who lived in the apartment complex. Friesenhahn said the two males, who were not identified, allegedly were experimenting with fire behind the storage shed using a lighter to ignite some combustible materials. The flames caught the 30 foot by 20 foot storage shed — large enough to be a four-car garage — and surrounding grass on fire. Friesenhahn said the boys would not be prosecuted but instead would be required to complete the department's juvenile fire setting program. "The parents and the offenders are required to be present throughout the program," he said. The department enhanced the fire setting program this year, he said. New Braunfels Fire Chief Jack Collier said children age IO and older taken into custody for starting a fire could be charged through juvenile court. "If they are younger than IO years old, then we counsel them and talk to them about how dangerous fire can be," he said. No one was injured, but many residents moved out into the front lawn of the apartment complex to escape a column of heavy smoke, which could be seen from downtown. Friesenhahn said the blaze could have spread into the apartment complex, but firefighters were able to control the fire. ROBBI CORNETT/HerakJ-Zertung Above, New Braunfels firefighters battle a blaze which began Monday afternoon in a storage shed behind Vista Del Sol Apartments, 795 Interstate 35 West. Two juveniles, ages 8 and 9 allegedly started the fire after playing with a lighter and combustible materials. Below, a firefighter works to extinauish flames on the arass in front of the shed. Susie Chandler, mangcr-ef Vista Del Sol*-- Apartments, said the storage shed contained furniture and old appliances left behind by previous residents. The majority of the shed's contents belonged to the owners and management of the complex. Chandler said she did not know the exact amount of property damage to the shed itself, but estimated it was less than $5,000. Collier said warm, dry weather in the past few weeks did play a role in the fire. "The way the grass took off so quickly probably did have something to do with the dryness and the drought problem," he said. Three fire engines, three EMS units, and a command center were called to the scene. Livestock show sets record Auction generates more than $500,000 By Heather Togo Staff Writer The 1999 Comal County Junior Livestock Show officially wrapped up Saturday, but the excitement will linger long afterward. Show participants and supporters are celebrating the sale of the century after the results of Saturday's livestock sale and auction. Preliminary figures indicate the junior livestock show generated more than $500,000 — the most in its 31-year history. Projected proceeds from the sale and auction were up from $412,000 last year. The sale itself brought in $488,000 for participants, said Liz Mooney, Comal County Junior Livestock Show secretary. "We haven't yet added in the money donated by parents to the different clubs, as well as $10,000 donated by the Guadalupe Valley Telephone Cooperative and $20,000 brought in by the silent auction," she said. Mooney attributed the success of this year's event to the popularity of the show's point system. "Our buyers really like the point system because they know when they bid on an animal, it's going to help every kid in that division," she said. Mooney said bigger stock shows and sales in San Antonio and Kendall County gave money to participants based only on what the buyer spent. "There are kids who don't have rich grandmas to bid on their animals and whose parents helped give them money to buy their animals. They spent all that time raising the See SHOW/3 Inside ".'Abby....................... ......5 Business.................. ......5 Classifieds............... .9-12 Comics.................... ......7 •Crossword............... ......5 'Forum...................... ......6 Horoscope................ ......7 Local........................ ......4 Sports................... .....8 Today...................... ......2 Television................ 7 ROBIN CORNETT/Heratt-Zertung This California rabbit was one of many animals shown at the 1999 Comal County Junior Livestock Show.

ELGIN, Ill. - To gather feedback from local residents about the top issues facing our state and community, state Rep. Anna Moeller, D-Elgin, is hosting a lunch stop on Monday, June 27 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Blue Box Café, located at 176 E. Chicago Street in downtown Elgin.
"These visits allow me to hear directly from area residents about their top priorities and issues," Moeller said. "I hope to hear from as many residents as possible at this event and throughout the summer about their ideas to improve our state and to solve the ongoing budget impasse."
Moeller meets regularly with constituents to discuss their concerns and thoughts about state issues over a cup of coffee or lunch at area coffee shops and restaurants. She also visits local businesses and walks door-to-door throughout the community to stay accessible.
"It's difficult for residents, especially hardworking families, to stay up to date with the latest updates from Springfield," Moeller added. "I have found these events are a helpful way to keep residents engaged and to create a dialogue about what's happening in state government and how it will impact the Elgin area."
This event is open to the public. For more information on Moeller's coffee shop or lunch stops, please contact Moeller's constituent service office at 847-841-7130 or email email@example.com.

Hey all,
So i've determined after checking many times that I am right eye dominant however I am left handed. Should I be shooting right handed then?
What exact firearm will you be carrying/shooting?
Liberty Over Tyranny Μολὼν λαβέ
There are people that are left eye dominant and shoot right handed and the other way around. What feels more natural to you and which are you better at?

With great power comes great responsibility.-Stan Lee
So far i'm better with a longer barrel and more even breathing LOL
So.....do you always shoot with both eyes opened? I'm sure you've done the tests on yourself. Look at rather distant object both eyes opened, point to it with your dominant hand, then close your eyes on at a time. The eye that is right on is your dominant eye. Eye dominance is worth more points since the eyes are closer to the brain. While one can learn and adapt somewhat to becoming ambi-dexterous, the eye rules. I've tied shooting weak handed with non-dominant eye. It short circuits my brain after a couple of rounds, and I have to close my dominant eye to accomplish that. I'm right handed, right eye dominant. I shoot with both eyes open most of the time with a two hand hold. Single handed, I'm more than likely to go with my dominant eye for the weak hand with both eyes opened, but if I close my dominant eye, I'm just wasting ammo and messing with my head.
IMO.......shoot with your strong hand, and use your dominant eye. Using a semi-auto pistol or revolver. Keep both eyes opened, and work naturally.
I've check and am clearly right eye dominant. I shoot that way. Just wondering if it's wrong since I hold left handed. thanks
If you are new to shooting, I would reccomend that you learn to shoot right handed since you are right eye dominate.
I think it would be harder to change hands than eyes. Try it both ways and see which you think is most adaptable. Lefties, go figure.

As a rule, the majority are opposite hand dominance. It is because of the cross over that the nervous system takes leaving the head. The right side of your brain controls your left extremities and vice versa... this is why right handed people are said to be left brained (calcualting, formula driven) and left handed people are right brained (more artistic tendency and free form impulse driven), however, as the eyes are still in the head , they are pre-crossover.
I am right handed, but strongly left eye domniant. This proves to be problematic when shooting rifles as I cannot allign my left eye behind the sights and have to close my left eye. With pistols, however, you have the benefit of leaving both eyes open (improving situational awareness) and still aiming with your dominant eye by just slightly turning your head.
So, in response to your question, there is no need to learn to shoot weak handed to compensate for your eye dominance, I do recommend learning weak hand shooting for practicality, your strong hand might not be available on the day you need it most. But start with what is comfortable and go from there.

Shot gun and hand gun I have shot with both eyes open forever, this is a problem with a rifle or anything with a scope.... When I was a kid i did a lot of shot gun hunting and trap shooting with my Dad so and was in the military before I ever knew people shot with one eye ... true haha I thought every one used both eyes when shooting..

Calif. doctors sue to ensure nurse anesthetists are supervised
■ The case was prompted by the governor's decision to opt out of a Medicare provision requiring physician oversight of CRNAs in hospitals.
- » Case at a glance
Patient safety remains at risk unless a new California regulation allowing nurse anesthetists to administer anesthesia to hospital Medicare patients without physician supervision is withdrawn, according to a lawsuit initiated by two state physician organizations.
The suit, filed Feb. 1 by the California Medical Assn. and California Society of Anesthesiologists, seeks to block Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's decision to opt out of a Medicare provision requiring physician supervision of certified registered nurse anesthetists.
Federal Medicare rules allow states to opt out of the requirement as long as they meet certain conditions. In a June 2009 letter to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Schwarzenegger exercised the option to use the exemption, concluding it was "in the interests of the people of California."
But doctors say the move violates state laws specifically prohibiting nurse anesthetists from administering anesthetics independently. They allege that the governor failed to follow federal provisions mandating that such opt-outs be consistent with state scope-of-practice laws and that governors consult with their states' respective medical boards on the issue in determining any potential public benefit.
Because the administration of anesthesia typically involves dangerous drugs and high-risk procedures that can pose serious risks to patients, "California [through state law] has made the choice that physician supervision is required to address those patient safety concerns," said Francisco Silva, the CMA's general counsel.
Physician oversight also is recognized in state nursing regulations and legal precedents set by the state attorney general and the courts, he added. Doctors are asking a San Francisco County Superior Court to enforce state law and order the governor to rescind the opt-out.
Physicians and nurses work as a team to serve patients, and "the safety issue really has to do with physician involvement in patient care," said CSA President Linda B. Hertzberg, MD. "Physicians have the training and background to assess not just what's going on with the anesthesia, but all the other medical conditions that may impact the anesthesia, as well as the surgery, all of which affect the care one receives."
Access issues
Such patient safety risks were disputed, however, by hospitals and nurse anesthetists who said the order will help access to care.
"This is simply a matter of expanding the options hospitals have," particularly for rural hospitals that may face a shortage of anesthesiologists, said California Hospital Assn. spokeswoman Jan Emerson. The organization was not named in the lawsuit, nor was it involved in the governor's opt-out decision.
"Patient safety is at risk when we don't have this option, because many patients will not have access to the care they need," she said, citing situations involving emergency surgery or baby deliveries.
American Assn. of Nurse Anesthetists President James Walker, CRNA, said nurse anesthetists typically work in collaboration with the operating surgeon. But nurses' education and training enables them to deliver anesthesia safely without supervision, while allowing physicians to focus on patients' medical and surgical needs.
"We are very clear about what our knowledge and scope of practice are, and if an issue arises outside of that, [nurses] have a physician to consult," Walker said, adding that 14 other states besides California have opted out of the Medicare supervision rule. "Nurse anesthetists provide safe and effective care, and in none of the states that have exercised the opt-out has there been evidence of negative patient outcomes."
Nurse anesthetist services also can be more cost-effective, particularly for rural hospitals with smaller budgets, Walker said.
Schwarzenegger spokesman Mike Naple defended the opt-out as consistent with state law, saying it "maintains patient safety at lower costs to consumers."
But the CMA's Silva said the governor took no steps to study or validate whether any access-to-care issues existed to justify overruling the need for physician oversight.
"Whenever patient safety is concerned, you don't issue a blanket rule. You look at the individual needs, and [the state] didn't do that."
Dr. Hertzberg also noted a disparity in Medicare payment rules that allows rural hospitals to share some of their payments with nurse anesthetists, without affording the same benefit to anesthesiologists.
It remains unclear to what extent, if any, California hospitals have taken steps to change physician supervision protocols in light of the governor's opt-out decision.
Still, the move "has created a state of confusion that is not optimal for patient care," Dr. Hertzberg said.

I run a flexible psychotherapy practice offering mainly telephone counselling but I also see individuals and couples face to face and over Skype when required.
My approach is eclectic or integrative and includes Integrative Arts Psychotherapy, Gestalt, Person-Centred, TA and is also informed by Psychodynamic and Attachment theories - my work is tailored to each individual persons needs.
Additionally, I specialise in helping people assert themselves by finding their voice to overcome low confidence, depression, stress and bullying. In this way and by processing the deeper issues, I help client's to better understand and work through relationship problems (both at work and at home), anxiety, panic attacks, bereavement and health issues.
The relationship between therapist and client is, in my opinion, the key to successful therapy - by providing the opportunity for open discourse with a client prior to embarking on therapy (usually over the telephone), I am able to assess what is required and if necessary refer them on to other suitably qualified therapists.
In addition to my private work, I have worked for various organisations over the years including Bupa's EAP (Employee Assistance Programme) and the Priory where I worked for their IAPT service in a GP practice. I also worked independently from the Priory for the NHS, in another GP practice.

Fees are negotiable for those in need, so please do not hesitate to ask if the above rates are over budget for you at present.
I see myself as open and non judgemental and feel priviledged to do the work that I do.
Like a puzzle, I find that counselling sessions enable people to find and work through pieces (of the puzzle) that were previously lost or hidden so that by the end of therapy the picture is more complete and the image recognisable ... that is the metaphor but what it means, is that clients work towards and find a place of greater self awareness by the end of therapy.
My overarching belief, is that my job is to enable people to recognise and move from 'false self'' to 'real self' allowing them to find their voices in the world.

The 1993 blizzard was an important homecoming for one Roane County resident and his parents.
At noon on the day it started to snow, Ray and Ann Stewart brought their new bundle of joy, Dalton, home from the hospital.
"That night our power went out, leaving us with no heat or water," Ann said. "We put our baby in his carrier and covered it with blankets and quilts."
The trio headed out into the blizzard at 1 a.m. in their four-wheel-drive truck and headed to the home of her parents, C.J. and Peggy Ragsdale.
Two men in ski masks kicked in a door and roughed up the three occupants of a Harriman apartment early Wednesday.
Ron Allen Arwood, 24, of Harriman, and Brady Alan Capps, 27, were charged with especially aggravated burglary and robbery, while a third, Joseph Franklin Capps III, 24, was charged with especially aggravated burglary, robbery and criminal impersonation.
"They were looking for money," Harriman Police Chief Randy Heidle said.
A Tennessee Department of Transportation crew checks supports under the Interstate 40 bridge near the Midtown exit Wednesday.
This week, on March 12, marked the 20th anniversary of one of the biggest weather events Roane Countians have ever witnessed.
What they may not realize is the impacts of the Blizzard of 1993 are with them to this day.
State Sen. Ken Yager, who spent more than two decades as Roane County's executive, was in charge at the time. Yager, who had just started his third of six terms, remembers the event well.
"We had heard days in advance — the perfect storm is about to come," he said.
When stirrings of Midtown annexation along Hwy. 70 renewed, it didn't take long for Midtown business owners to once again let their feelings of disapproval be known.
Recently, Harriman Councilman J.D. Sampson complained that area businesses, including some outside the city limits, have thrived as a result of investment Harriman has put into the Midtown corridor.
Former Oliver Springs High School star Kayla Christopher (No. 3) celebrates following Chattanooga's 64-63 victory over Davidson in the Southern Conference Tournament championship game Monday evening in Asheville, N.C.
Christopher, a senior, scored 7 points, including the game-winning basket with 8.2 seconds remaining, to give the Lady Mocs the victory.
The victory also gives Christopher and her Lady Moc teammates a berth in the NCAA Tournament that starts next weekend.
State Sen. Ken Yager and state Rep. Kent Calfee are sponsoring a bills in the General Assembly that would provide relief for delinquent taxpayers because of the TVA ash spill.
"For tax years 2009 and 2010, requires the waiver of all delinquent tax penalties and the reduction of interest to a rate of 5 percent, for delinquent taxpayers who had real property damaged by a coal ash spill," a summary of the bill states. "Requires eligible taxpayers to apply for such relief to the assessor of property."
The Roane County Commission approved a resolution allowing transfer of the Old Edgewood School building and property on Gallaher Road to the Michael Dunn Center.
Automatic federal spending cuts known as the sequester could impact county coffers.
"The sequestration has held up our DOE (Department of Energy) in-lieu-of-tax payments," Roane County Executive Ron Woody told the budget committee last week. "It's almost $1 million."
Woody said he believes the county will still get the money, but it could be less than expected.
"I think it could be cut some, but I don't think they will do away with the whole thing," he said.
The Ralph O'Neal murder trial is on the docket for the current Roane County Criminal Court term, but prosecutor Bill Reedy isn't overly optimistic.
"At this point, it's a yes, but you got to understand that this case involves multiple people who are in federal custody," he said. "Getting these people back from the feds for trial purposes is like trying to orchestrate the thing (sequester) that's going on in Congress right now."

Hello, when trying to add widgets to the user portal I keep getting either a blank page or a 'the page you are looking was not found, it might have been deleted by an administrator. Back to the main page"
This is happening with several widgets I tried to add (tweeter feed, clock, weather.com widget, calendars). In fact the only widget it displays properly is accuweather.com. Is there a reason for this? Is there a list of widgets that are 'approved' ?
thank you SpiceWorks!

Good News in History, June 19
Today is Father's Day in the U.S., first celebrated 106 years ago in Spokane, Washington. After hearing a church sermon about the newly recognized Mother's Day, Sonora Louise Smart, whose father had raised her, felt strongly that fatherhood needed recognizing, as well. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson sent a telegraph praising the town's churches for recognizing the significant role fathers play. 50 years later, President Johnson signed a proclamation declaring the third Sunday of June as Father's Day. (1910)
MORE Good News on this Day in History:
- Blaise Pascal, the French mathematician and philosopher who, as a young man invented a mechanical calculator and later philosophized that "all men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone," was born (1623)
- The U.S. Congress prohibited slavery in United States territories, nullifying the Dred Scott Case (1862)
- After surviving an 83-day filibuster in the United States Senate, The Civil Rights Act was passed by Congress outlawing all segregation on the basis of race (1964)
- EU nations agreed to lift their sanctions against Cuba, in the hope of encouraging democracy on the island (2008)

A chromosomal abnormality occurs when a fetus has an incorrect number of chromosomes or has chromosomes that contain structural abnormalities (such as missing or extra pieces).

What Are Chromosomes?

Since you might not have taken a biology course recently, here's a quick refresher on chromosomes. Your body is made up of cells. In the middle of each cell, there is a nucleus. Inside that nucleus, you'll find chromosomes. Chromosomes are important because they contain genes, which are made up of DNA. Genes are what determine how you look, what blood type you have, how susceptible you are to disease, and more.

Your Body's Chromosomes

Each cell in the body usually contains 46 chromosomes—23 pairs that hold roughly 20,000 to 25,000 genes, according to the National Human Genome Research Institute. Half of your chromosomes come from the egg from your mother and half come from the sperm from your father.

Of the 23 pairs of chromosomes, the first 22 pairs are called "autosomes." The final two chromosomes are called "allosomes" or sex chromosomes. Allosomes determine an individual's sex: A female has two X chromosomes (XX) and a male has an X and a Y chromosome (XY).

Chromosomal Abnormalities and Miscarriage

Chromosomal abnormalities are the culprits behind most first-trimester miscarriages, but they do not always lead to miscarriage. In early miscarriages, a baby with chromosomal errors may stop developing because vital genetic information is missing or because the chromosomal arrangement causes the mother's immune system to terminate the pregnancy. Researchers believe that chromosomal abnormalities are behind 60 to 70% of first-time miscarriages. In these cases, the error is usually a random anomaly and the woman will go on to have a normal subsequent pregnancy.

Other Possible Results of Chromosomal Abnormality

One possible result of a chromosomal abnormality is Down Syndrome. This condition results from having three copies of chromosome 21. Some of the common traits of Down Syndrome are small stature, an upward slant to the eyes, low muscle tone, and a deep crease across the middle of the palm, according to the National Down Syndrome Society. One out of every 691 babies in the U.S. is born with Down Syndrome. The reason why this condition occurs isn't clear, but scientists have seen a link between older maternal age and an increased chance of having a baby with Down Syndrome.

Another possible result of a chromosomal abnormality is Trisomy 18, also known as Edwards syndrome. This occurs when the fetus has an extra chromosome 18 (three, instead of two). This occurs in about 1 out of every 2,500 pregnancies and in roughly 1 in 6,000 births in the U.S., according to the Trisomy 18 Foundation. This condition can cause medication complications that are potentially life-threatening, and only about half of babies who are carried to term will be born alive.

One more potential chromosomal abnormality is Trisomy 13, also known as Patau syndrome. Most cases develop when a fetus has an extra copy of chromosome 13 (three, instead of two). This condition can cause severe intellectual disability as well as heart defects, underdeveloped eyes, extra fingers or toes, a cleft lip, weak muscle tone, and brain or spinal cord abnormalities. As a result, many infants with Trisomy 13 die in the first days or weeks of life. It occurs in approximately 1 in 16,000 newborns, according to the National Institutes of Health.

Testing for Chromosomal Abnormalities

Toward the end of your first trimester, you can elect to take a screening test that can tell you your odds of having a baby with one of these chromosomal abnormalities. The test is based on your age, an ultrasound, and a blood test. It's usually performed around week 12 of pregnancy.

Allen & Overy's Indian best friend Trilegal has poached a leading projects partner and team of four associates from Indian firm Hemant Sahai Associates.
Allen & Overy's (A&O) Indian best friend Trilegal has poached a leading projects partner and team of four associates from Indian firm Hemant Sahai Associates.
Partner Sitesh Mukherjee, whose practice focuses on energy disputes, has joined Trilegal as a equity partner.
Trilegal co-founding partner Anand Prasad, who admitted that energy disputes is not one of the firm's core strengths, said: "He complements our existing projects practice very well."
Hemant Sahai managing partner Hemant Sahai said that, while Mukherjee's departure is a blow to the firm, its regulatory litigation practice remains strong.
He added: "Sitesh was with the firm right since inception and grew with the firm to eventually make partner.
"While the firm will miss Sitesh's contribution, the firm has significant depth and expertise in regulatory litigation, which was Sitesh's area of practice and which is an area that continues to be one of the firm's core competencies."
Sahai said the firm had hired a senior in-house counsel from conglomerate Bharti Enterprises to bolster the firm's practice. He added that Jagdish Prasad, who joins along with senior associates Saurabh Awasthi and Aparajit Bhattacharya, will soon be invited to join the partnership.

In a nutshell: walking, wildlife and the great outdoors. These two tracts contain some of England's last wilderness areas, but there's much more besides, not least an added frisson of danger. Getting lost on open moorland is a perilous possibility, particularly in one of Exmoor's sudden, swirling mists or on Dartmoor's untamed expanses.
Set inland in southern Devon, Dartmoor is 368 brooding square miles of deep bogs, dramatic hills capped by weirdly shaped granite outcrops, or "tors", and windswept, gorse-clad moors studded with the eerie remains of Bronze Age man's mysterious civilisation. Meanwhile, straddling western Somerset and northern Devon, Exmoor's strikingly varied landscape is packed into 267 square miles. Surprisingly, this diverse area of forested glens and open moorland, and precipitous cliffs and hidden coves along the Bristol Channel coast, is not a big crowd puller. Exmoor attracts about 1.5 million visitors each year, in contrast to more than 3 million to Dartmoor.
To protect the moors, both were designated national parks in the 1950s. The natural life in Exmoor includes guillemots, razorbills and kittiwakes nesting on exposed cliff faces, wagtails and kingfishers living along its 300 miles of rivers and streams, red deer roaming its moors, and rare fritillary butterflies breeding in its soft woodland. Offering a subtly different range of habitats, Dartmoor is home to a mind-numbing variety of species little seen elsewhere: bog orchids, barbastelle bats, golden-ringed dragonflies, skylarks, golden plovers, dunlins and much more.
The short answer is no. It is as well to be aware that the term "national park" was coined to denote an area of importance to the national heritage rather than signifying that the property is owned by the state. And, of course, neither park is entirely uninhabited, wild land: the population of Dartmoor is about 47,000, Exmoor an estimated 11,000 (both paltry figures compared to the number of resident, roaming sheep).
Within Dartmoor and Exmoor there are many different landholders, from the park authorities themselves to the National Trust, the Forestry Commission, private individuals and, on Dartmoor, the Duchy of Cornwall and the Ministry of Defence.
However, walkers are allowed to wander freely over more than 40 per cent of each park - with the caveat that between March and July extra care should be taken not to disturb nesting birds. (The Dartmoor Commons Act 1985 gives the same freedoms to horse riders.) The "open access" regions are delineated by a purple circumference on Ordnance Survey's Outdoor Leisure maps: OL28 for Dartmoor, OL9 for Exmoor. Beware, though, of Dartmoor's military firing ranges around Okehampton, Willsworthy and Merrivale, which are, alarmingly, contained within these stretches of ostensibly open land - and clearly shown on the OS maps. The public is not allowed here on days when bullets, shells and mortars are tested: red flags are flown in the zones to warn them away.
Any walkers or riders worried about missing these fluttering danger signs should seek information about the no-go periods at tourist information offices or in the local press, or by calling the freephone number 0800 458 4868 or visiting www.dartmoor-ranges.co.uk. Generally, firing does not take place on Sundays or during peak holiday periods. For obvious reasons, a local by-law prohibits the collection of metal objects within these ranges.
Absolutely. Quite beyond the free-to-roam tracts, both parks contain a vast number of clearly marked trails: Dartmoor has about 400 miles of footpaths and bridleways, Exmoor a staggering 650 miles. The main, long-distance paths are the most famous of these routes: the South West Coast Path runs through Exmoor, hugging the shoreline between Minehead and Combe Martin; the Two Moors Way stretches 103 miles between Ivybridge on the edge of Dartmoor and Lynmouth on the coast of Exmoor. Other smaller paths may be more intriguing. On Dartmoor the Lich Way is the ancient route along which corpses were carried from remote farms to the church at Lydford on the western perimeter of the moor. Exmoor contains part of the Tarka Trail, a walking and cycling route that takes its name from the book Tarka the Otter by Henry Williamson, who lived in Georgeham, north Devon.
Indeed, both moors have strong associations with some of Britain's most famous writers. Percy Bysshe Shelley spent his honeymoon at Lynmouth on the edge of Exmoor with his 16-year-old wife Harriet (later scurrilously abandoned in favour of Mary Godwin). Woodbine Cottage, where they stayed, is now Shelley's Hotel (01598 753 219; www.shelleyshotel.co.uk). Other romantic poets also visited Exmoor: the Ship Inn at Porlock is said to have been a haunt of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey. The pub also features in RD Blackmore's romance, Lorna Doone. This tale of outlaws, love and murder has inspired its own burgeoning tourist industry, even though the book is hardly the bestseller it was in the 19th century.
The weird and wild landscape of Dartmoor itself has inspired a great many authors, from Agatha Christie to Alice Oswald, whose second book of poetry, Dart, was published to much acclaim in 2002. This year, a new society, Moor Poets, was set up for writers living in or near Dartmoor, including inmates of HM Dartmoor Prison at Princetown. It was in Princetown, at the turn of the last century, that Arthur Conan Doyle wrote The Hound of the Baskervilles, and his haunting tale of treacherous bogs and ghostly dogs continues to be a powerful influence on perceptions of Dartmoor.
Wild horses, too. The cute-looking ponies that graze freely in both parks have an unpleasant tendency to bite and kick if you get too close. Technically these are feral creatures, although all the horses on the moors are owned and branded. Exmoor's ponies, which through isolation have developed very little from original Stone Age species, are now considered an endangered breed. There are only about 140 of these hardy creatures still roaming the moor. The ponies on Dartmoor are more of a mixed lot, having bred with Shetlands that were brought in to increase stock and supply pit-horses for the coal mines in Wales. Considerable efforts are now being made to re-establish a pure line of wild Dartmoor ponies, which should not be piebald, skewbald or contain any excessive white markings.
More sinister is the Beast of Exmoor, a puma-like animal whose activities were first reported in the 1970s. In 1988, after well over 100 sheep had been slaughtered, with their throats ripped out, the Royal Marines conducted a search for the creature(s). However, no big cat was ever found. One more eccentric theory holds that these are creatures from another dimension, slipping in and out of a parallel universe.
Such supernatural preoccupations seem endemic to both parks. Ghost stories abound. Near the village of Challacombe on the western edge of Exmoor, for example, the apparition of a young servant girl is said only to appear to men. Meanwhile, on Dartmoor, some fatalities between Postbridge and Princetown are thought to have been caused by "the Hairy Hand", a hirsute phantom that attempts to kill motorists by pushing them off the road.
With its coastline, Exmoor holds something of a trump card over Dartmoor. Minehead on the eastern edge of the moor became a significant seaside resort in the Victorian era and retains something of a kiss-me-quick atmosphere, not least through the addition of a cheerful Butlins holiday camp (0870 242 1000; www.butlinsonline.co.uk) in 1962. Exmoor's best beaches, however, are generally considered to lie further west, between the quaint village of Lynmouth and Combe Martin. Many of the sandy bays are not easily accessible - a remoteness that can be rewarding in the lack of crowds.
Not to be completely outdone, Dartmoor offers the unique outdoor pursuit of letterboxing. This wacky form of orienteering started in 1854 when James Perrott, a local guide and fishing expert, placed a bottle at Cranmere Pool on the northern moor so that other walkers could leave their calling cards there. Many more "letterboxes" were subsequently hidden in different parts of the high moorland, down small crevices and between the granite rocks of the tors without a clue as to their whereabouts. Today these, mainly Tupperware, containers house rubber stamps, the quest of the "letterboxers" being to collect stamps in their own books and thus prove that they have succeeded in finding the boxes, which are often in remote areas. For those frustrated by the lack of clues, an unofficial help centre is run by Mr and Mrs AR Moore of South Brent, who produce a catalogue of tips costing £6 to cover paper and photocopying (01364 73414 for details).
In both parks there are plenty of opportunities for cantering across the moors on horseback: on Exmoor try Outovercott Riding Stables near Lynton (01598 753 341; www.outovercott.co.uk) or Burrowhayes Farm Riding Stables near Porlock (01643 862 463; www.burrowhayes.co.uk). Dartmoor's stables include Cholwell Stables, Mary Tavy (01822 810 526); Skaigh Stables, Belstone (01837 840 917; www.skaighstables.co.uk); and Shilstone Rocks Riding and Trekking Centre, Widecombe-in-the-Moor (01364 621 281; www.dartmoor-riding.com).
A huge choice of other activities ranges from biking, fishing, hang-gliding and safari Jeep tours at both parks to sailing at Wimbleball Lake on Exmoor, and bouldering (a form of rock climbing) on Dartmoor. (Contact Exmoor's tourist offices, see www.exmoorattractions.com, or Exmoor National Park Authority on 01398 323 665 or www.exmoor-nationalpark.gov.uk. For Dartmoor, call the Okehampton tourist centre on 01837 53020, see www.dartmoor.co.uk, or contact the Dartmoor National Park visitor centre at Princetown on 01822 890 414 or visit www.dartmoor-npa.gov.uk).
For more leisurely pursuits, and to support the flagging fortunes of the local agricultural communities, visit the farmers' markets. Minehead on Exmoor offers such opportunities for retail therapy every first and third Friday (01984 640 817). On Dartmoor, markets take place on Thursdays at Buckfastleigh (01364 649 086) and selected Saturdays at Bovey Tracey (01626 835 363), Okehampton (01837 53158) and Tavistock (01822 820 515), where there is also an excellent West Country cheese shop (Country Cheeses, Market Row 01822 615 035; www.countrycheeses.co.uk).
Frogs and toads thrive on Dartmoor and Exmoor, with good reason. Annual rainfall statistics are similar for each park: roughly 2,000mm on high moorland and 800mm in drier lowland areas, all of which indicates a preponderance of damp days. In such clement weather for amphibians, the local museums and galleries see a steady stream of soggy visitors.
On Exmoor, the West Somerset Rural Life Museum at Allerford, near Porlock (01643 862 529), celebrates domestic and farming life from the Victorian era and contains an intriguing archive of photographs (open 10.30am-4.30pm, admission £1.50). The Lyn & Exmoor Museum at Lynton (01598 752 225; www.devonmuseums.net/lynton) houses an eclectic collection, from Stone Age implements to a 19th-century dolls' house; it is open from 10am-12.30pm and 2-5pm, closed all day Saturdays and on Sunday afternoon; admission is £1. Dartmoor's heritage, including its tin-mining industry, is commemorated at the Museum of Dartmoor Life in Okehampton (01837 52295), which is housed in a working watermill; it is open 10am-5pm daily, and admission is £2.
Grander indoor sights include Dunster Castle (01643 821 314), set in the chocolate-box village of Dunster on Exmoor's north-eastern perimeter; open 11am-4.30pm except Thursday and Friday, admission £6.40. This former Norman fort was refurbished after the Civil War as a Jacobean manor house and contains fine 17th-century furniture and painted leather wall hangings. Meanwhile, Dartmoor offers Castle Drogo (01647 433 306; www.nationaltrust.org.uk) at Drewsteignton in the eastern part of the moor. The austere, granite edifice designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens is set in gloriously elegant gardens, which include a croquet lawn where visitors can play. It opens 11am-5.30pm daily except Tuesday, admission £5.90.
Those in search of scenic views without getting their feet wet could opt for a nostalgic train ride. The South Devon Steam Railway (0845 345 1420; www.southdevonrailway.org) runs between Buckfastleigh and Totnes, taking in the glorious greenery of Dartmoor's Dart Valley.
The West Somerset Railway (01643-704 996; www.west-somerset-railway.co.uk) operates between Bishops Lydeard and Minehead, travelling along the eastern edge of Exmoor. Further west, the Cliff Railway (01598 753 486) is a funicular arrangement of Victorian cabins that creak up and down the rock face between Lynton and Lynmouth.
But why be a wimp? Don't let the odd raincloud curb your enjoyment of the fresh air. Unless visibility is minimal and conditions positively primeval, simply dress up and enjoy a muddy challenge. Waterproofs, sturdy boots, compasses and plastic map pouches are readily available at local outdoor equipment shops - with a good choice at Porlock on Exmoor or Chagford on Dartmoor.
Head for a cosy pub. Set in splendid isolation on the high wilds of Dartmoor, Warren House Inn (01822 880 208) is on the B3212 near Postbridge. The hearth fire here has never been allowed to die - and has been burning for more than 150 years. Such warmth extends to a generous choice of no-nonsense home-cooked food and a wide range of real ales. Except on the hottest of days, at Withypool in the heart of Exmoor the Royal Oak (01643 831 506; www.royaloakwithypool.co.uk) has a large log fire glowing in its beamed lounge bar. There's an imaginative bar menu here (the likes of salmon fish cakes or braised lamb shank) and, for the more gastronomically inclined, a very well-regarded restaurant.
Alternatively, warm up and replace any lost calories with a cream tea. The full works - scones, jam, lashings of clotted cream - is served up on the tea terrace overlooking Dartmoor's East Dart Valley at the Lydgate House hotel (01822 880 209) in Postbridge. Exmoor's many teatime outlets include the thatched Periwinkle Cottage Tea Rooms (01643 862 769) in Selworthy near Porlock, and Boevey's Tea Rooms (01643 831 622) at Simonsbath, right in the heart of the park.
With a large sheep and cattle population, both Dartmoor and Exmoor were badly affected by the foot-and-mouth crisis two years ago. The tourist industry took a nosedive, but it is now recoveringso fast that good accommodation is filling up, so early enquiries are recommended.
Stylish B&Bs include Edgcott House (from £30 per person per night, 01643 831 495; www.edgcotthouse.co.uk) at Exford in the heart of Exmoor, and The Old Orchard (from £25 per person per night, 01822 854 310; www.baross.demon.co.uk/theoldorchard) at Yelverton on the western edge of Dartmoor.
Country house hotels range from the slightly chintzy - and very relaxing - Porlock Vale House (B&B from £75 per person per night 01643 862 338; www.porlockvale.co.uk) near the coast on Exmoor, to super-gourmet luxury at Gidleigh Park Hotel (dinner, bed and breakfast for two people from £420, 01647 432 367; www.gidleigh.com) near Chagford on Dartmoor.
Meanwhile, Lewtrenchard Manor (B&B from £130 for a double room, 01566 783 256; www.lewtrenchard.co.uk) near Okehampton on the northern edge of Dartmoor provides considerable comfort in Jacobean surroundings - and is believed to have been the inspiration for Baskerville Hall in Arthur Conan Doyle's most spine-chilling Sherlock Holmes story.
Summer daze
Catching crabs - and the mystery of the stones
Next Saturday and Sunday may be a particularly good to time to visit either park, depending on your predilection for June jollities or New Age phenomena. Exmoor celebrates the longest days of the year with "Midsummer Madness" activities around Porlock. Events include a crab-catching contest; a grand prix for any wheeled vehicle capable of being pushed or pulled; and an evening with the Dorset folk group The Yetties (Saturday 21 June, 7.30pm, tickets £7: call the Porlock Visitor Centre on 01643 863 150).
Midsummer on Dartmoor is possibly more ethereal. Many of the park's Bronze Age standing stones appear to have been placed according to a celestial alignment - although no one has proved this for certain.
The stones are believed to have been set up using the stars and the lines of midsummer and midwinter sunrise and sunset, making the summer solstice one of the best times to appreciate these ancient emblems of a mystical culture.
The Merrivale row, an avenue of stones running from a megalithic circle and stretching a few hundred yards just off the B3357 between Two Bridges and Tavistock, is probably the easiest to see.
Erme row is more challenging to reach but well worth the effort. This double line of standing stones spans nearly two miles and is probably the longest row of megaliths in the world - small in height, but far more extensive than the famous standing-stone rows at Carnac in Brittany.
The Erme Plains are a healthy hike north-west of Shipley Bridge in the southern part of the moor.Reuse content
