As 2014 draws to a close, what have we learned from all that has happened in the past 12 months? Are we wiser, leaner and sharper? Or do we stumble into 2015 as dozy as someone who fails to notice a newspaper column's premise from a heavily dropped hint in the first sentence?
What do we remember of 2014? There have been big changes, of course: all those conflicts, crises, disasters and juicy celebrity fatalities, which there's no need for me to rake over again here.
But what of the news behind the news? What lies beneath our scandalous front pages? Why, our scandalous page 3s of course! Then our diverting page 5s. Then our slightly less head-turning page 7s. Then the "I didn't even realise she was still alive" page 9s, followed by the "There's got to be a quicker way of getting to the sport than this" page 11s. Then an advert. Then what someone thinks about one of the things reported above. Then another advert.
Well, I've read, marked, learned and inwardly digested all that news and I regurgitate the bones of it here like an owl's pellet.
Duke and Duchess of Cambridge sex tape goes viral
"I don't see why the NSA should have the monopoly on surveillance #hypocrisy," tweeted teenager Obadiah Jenkins (those old names really are coming round again!) from his prison cell.
The self-styled "nerd and wanker" was convicted of several breaches of the European convention on human rights, as well as a violation of French airspace, for filming an intimate royal moment using his Google Android parcel-taped to a remote-controlled helicopter. Jenkins had been holidaying with his parents, Kylie and Han, at a caravan site only a mile from the chateau where the duke and duchess were the honoured guests of a social-climbing Russian kleptocrat.
Royal watchers were appalled by what Obadiah referred to as "the ultimate in royal watching #doingit", but perhaps the most upsetting consequence was a distressed, yet perceptibly aroused Nicholas Witchell attempting to describe the footage on the 10 O'Clock News.
James Bond revealed as Time Lord in new film
"I don't think we're really changing anything," said a spokesperson for Eon productions. "Just making explicit what has long been heavily implied. There are lots of vampire films where they're too cool to use the word 'vampire', but it's clear from all the blood-sucking.
"Similarly, I think the fact that Bond's face keeps changing and he's apparently holding down the same extremely physical job after more than half a century makes it pretty obvious that he's a time traveller who can regenerate.
"We just never see his Tardis because, most nights, he's pulled. But it's been evident from the start. For the avoidance of doubt: we don't envisage a royalty payment to the BBC."
Gang of cyclists trap a lorry and eat the driver
"It was like something out of Blue Planet," a traumatised witness said afterwards, "when all the orcas gang up on one humpback whale."
His wife disagreed: "I think it was more like the Ewok bit from Return of the Jedi – where they attack the imperial walkers. It showed incredibly innovative use of bicycling technology. Except then they ate him, which the Ewoks didn't do. I was really rooting for them until they ate him."
The couple had been stuck in slow-moving traffic on London's North Circular Road when dozens of cyclists sliced through the gridlock and surrounded an Eddie Stobart truck.
"I think they wanted a Stobart," another onlooker said. "They passed an M&S lorry and an Ocado van and left them both alone."
Most of the cannibal riders were subsequently arrested but remained unrepentant. "We only ate one of them," they said in a statement. "They've killed loads of us and it barely makes the news but we eat just one of them and suddenly that's more interesting than Syria or Tulisa's new tattoo!"
Al-Qaida win the Turner prize
"Quite simply, they shouldn't have been allowed to enter," spluttered Brian Sewell when the controversial decision was announced. His evening was only made worse with the news that, in the absence of anyone from the organisation itself, the notorious terrorists had nominated him to receive the award on their behalf.
When the radical Islamist group expressed their intention to try for the award, eyebrows were raised – and they headed even further towards the art community's hairlines when the al-Qaida entry actually arrived.
"I think we'd all assumed it would be a video of a beheading or something," said one of the judges. "So when we were confronted with an adorable watercolour of some gambolling New Forest ponies on a summer's day, we were taken aback. And of course the very incongruity made a profound statement."
Valentine's Day to relaunch as Christmas 2
With the spring came news that, after years of intense and secret negotiation with the world's various Christian denominations, Google had finally managed to secure the global rights to Christmas.
In an impish masterstroke, the corporate giant made the announcement on 1 April, with the result that humanity's consternation was mitigated by most people assuming it was a joke. But not since Disney acquired Star Wars has a franchise been exploited with such fearless celerity as, over the summer, the search engine bought Valentine's Day and announced plans to revamp it as a sequel to the midwinter knees-up.
"What has Santa been doing since Boxing Day?" said a Google spokesman. "The answer is obvious: giving dating tips and making sex toys. We're going to get him back out on his sleigh spreading a romantic vibe with loads of click-through opportunities to local florists and restaurants. I am in love with this idea."
Corruption suspected as Cardiff branch of Café Rouge comes third in international restaurant awards
"The whole team was thrilled," said Gareth Jones, the manager of the popular branch of the French-style restaurant chain. "But then the wind was rather taken out of our sails when Antony Worrall Thompson started comparing us to al-Qaida. I mean, what's that about? They're extremist murderers and we're an affordable brasserie!"
Mr Jones, a practising Muslim, was unmollified by Worrall Thompson's hasty backtracking: "I only meant that they were similar in terms of being the extremely surprising recipients of awards," the chef explained at a launch event for his new range of spoons.
"It's not like we won," said an exasperated Jones. "We came third. And this is a bloody good branch of Café Rouge – just ask anyone."

Wayne Winston is a professor at Indiana University and for the last nine years he has been Mark Cuban's stat guru for the Dallas Mavericks. Winston's recently published book "Mathletics," explains much of his work -- complete with formulas and spreadsheets. Earlier in the series (which is being discussed elsewhere, too) we have learned about:
Post 1: Statistics, the Maverick's kryptonite and Ben Gordon. (And a follow-up.)
Post 2: The player of the decade, Andre Iguodala's curious production and why the Cavs lost.
Post 3: The amazing Danilo Gallinari, buzzer-beating 3s, the perils of starting Greg Oden and great Laker lineups.
In the final installment, Winston focuses on coaches and referees:
On Mike D'Antoni and Going Small
Mike D'Antoni, I think, is the guy who changed the game. You spread the floor and go small, and these big guys become dinosaurs. That was a stroke of genius. Didn't win a championship, which is too bad, but that's the biggest change in the game I see.
Who'd have thought that Brandon Bass, Dirk Nowitzki, Josh Howard, Jason Terry and Jason Kidd is the Maverick's best lineup? It hardly makes sense. But for the last two years, that's been by far the best thing they've got.
On Tim Donaghy
They should have spotted him. I really feel there's a big debate. The NBA is more secretive about how they analyze referees than we are in chasing Osama bin Laden.
What I looked at is ... most people think that what he did was determine who won games. He didn't. He was into total points.
So I went back to every game where the line moved. If the line moves a lot, people bet money. And in those games, there were way more free throws called than you'd expect. And that's how you'd make scores higher. To make a game go over the over number, you would call free throws. Basically, he did it.
The NBA will never tell you who made which call. But if you make public, in those games, how many of the calls were made by Donaghy ... that's what they should be checking, and maybe they are.
But they found out about Donaghy from the FBI, right? They should have known. They have the right data. I know they hired Las Vegas people, they hired people to do this stuff.
On Referee Bias
Are refs biased against teams? Like Joey Crawford, I don't think he was biased against the Spurs [as has been suggested].
Honestly, every team has certain refs that they hate and are convinced are out to get them. The way you should analyze that is: Does your team play worse with those refs?
With Jeff Sagarin, my best friend and my partner in this stuff, we would analyze: When a ref refs your game, across the years, does your team play statistically worse than expected? That could mean either he hates you, or his reffing is so antithetical to the way you play that it affects your style. Either way is bad.
Now, most of the time I think you'll find a ref has no significant impact on a team's performance.
Dan Crawford was a negative effect on the Mavericks, if you analyze it this way, in the playoffs. Given the record, the Mavericks think Dan Crawford doesn't like them. Whether he does or not, I don't know. But I mean, I think the NBA should be doing that, and I don't know that they are.
They need to come clean on what they do. If there's another ref who's found to cheat ... I think the reffing thing is very important. The integrity of the game: Without that we don't have a game.
For People Who Hate Advanced Basketball Statistics
Every time I write about statistics, a certain portion of TrueHoop readers get upset. Whatever it is that they love about basketball, all these formulas and statistics seem to ruin that.
And I'm not entirely unsympathetic.
For instance, I have written that I'm against the use of performance enhancing drugs because you want to root for players who are doing things that you understand. Running and jumping and dunking the ball. A player does a good job, and we cheer that. But if it's really that the guy at the BALCO lab did a good job ... not as fun. If it becomes about drugs, then what you'd be seeing on the court is really in large part the work of someone in a lab somewhere ... and maybe we don't want to buy a ticket to watch that.
I could see that it would be the same with stats. If this is where the game is being played now, maybe that's not exciting to some people. What do you say to them?
I see what you're saying.
I just think we're trying to give the proper information they need to make good decisions. I don't think that's a bad thing. Wouldn't you want your coaches to have all the data needed to make informed decisions, like you'd want the doctor to order all the tests before deciding what operation to do on you.
I mean, should the doctor not do the tests? I don't know. This is getting to philosophy 101.
I think the skeptics would say: "I don't want the word 'data' in a discussion of coaching."
It's like the Mona Lisa. You can't quantify its appeal. But I think most fans want their team to win legally. And the stats are not the be-all and end-all. They are just one factor. The coach's intuition ... Rick Carlisle last year. Oh god last year was he good. I watch every game on League Pass. There were ten games last year that, going into the last five minutes they should have lost. And they won nine of them. He had all the information, but he just pulled the strings.
On Using Stats in Hiring a Coach
We did a study that showed he was the best coach in the NBA the last ten years. It's part of why Mark hired him.
How would you evaluate a coach?
We looked at every player that was traded to a coach's team. We looked at their rating the year before in our system and then how they did when that coach got them. And look at the difference. Carlisle crushed everybody. We sent that to Mark [Cuban] and a week later he hired Carlisle. (And I think he said that was part of it -- it wasn't the whole thing.)
But it wasn't close. He was at least two standard deviations better than average. He jumped out and there was nobody else close. He kicked everybody's butt on that.
Phil Jackson ... is he really good or did he just have Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant? That debate will go on forever. It kills me that we don't have the data going back before 2000 to try to answer that.

Chapter TwoMature
It had been a whole week since Thomas had last seen Lucy. A whole week and he still couldn't stop thinking about her. She was in his thoughts every second of every day. There was a small part in Thomas that really wished he could see her again, but another large part was scared of Lucy and how she made him feel. He didn't understand it, any of it.
"Hey Thomas." Steve said with a grin and wrapped his arms around Thomas's waist and pulled him in for a close hug. Thomas didn't move or say a word, pretending Steve's actions didn't upset or bother him. Thomas hoped Steve would leave him alone soon.
"How's my favourite guy today hm?" Steve asked still holding Thomas in his embrace.
"O-Okay." Thomas said quietly.
"That's good Thomas." Steve said into Thomas' ear and kept him in an embrace. Thomas hated it when Steve acted like this to him. He didn't understand or like it, he was too scared to say anything though. Thomas thought this was how normal people acted with each other.
"Do you like this Thomas?" Steve asked.
"Y-yes." Thomas lied and closed his eyes. He hoped Steve hadn't noticed that.
Even though he was fourteen Thomas was still scared. He hide when they came home drunk. He hide when they took their drugs. He hide when they wanted to play. But they always found him in the end.
Thomas was hiding now. He had locked himself in the pantry. Thomas hugged his skinny knees to his chest and let his silent tears fall. No where could hide him for long. He would always be found. He could hear them though the thin walls. They were laughing and talking to someone. A female. He didn't know that voice and that's what scared him the most. Who was she?
"Please don't let them find me." Thomas muttered faintly to himself while tears continued to slide down his face. He was shaking now, he could hear the footsteps get closer and closer to him. He knew his attempts at hiding where hopeless but he couldn't help but hide and hope every time.
Then the pantry door opened.
"Here he is. Such a pretty boy." the unknown woman said. She was clearly high, he could tell it by his voice. She was a pretty blonde in a black vest, fishnet top and shorts with pointy black boots. She looked a few years older then him, in her early twenties at least. Thomas shook and tried to move away from her. But it was no use. He had been found.
Thomas laid down on his bed quietly. He refused to cry, he had to be brave if he ever wanted to leave this place. And he did want to leave this place. Thomas thought about going for a walk, maybe he would bump into Lucy again. He wasn't sure if he hoped to or if he was scared to. He didn't know how he felt about Lucy.
"Its okay, I'm sorry to. In my own little world." She said and gave a melodic laugh which Thomas couldn't help but smile too. It was a nice laugh.
"It was my fault." Thomas said a little calmer now. There was something about this girl that was claiming to him. He couldn't quiet decide what it was.
"I'm Lucy." she said with a smile.
"Lucy." Thomas said quietly to himself.
Lucy sat down in the park reading her book. She brushed a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear and continued to read.
"Hey Luce." Sarah, Lucy's friend said.
"Oh, hey Sarah." Lucy said with a smile and put her book down.
"Good book?" Sarah asked and sat down on the bench next to her friend.
"Yeah." Lucy said.
"Still thinking about the street boy?" Sarah asked with a gleam in her eye.
"Yes....I can't help it. I donno, there was just something about him. I'm don't know what but." Lucy said.
"Something." Sarah finished for her friend.
"Yeah, something." Lucy said with a smile.
"Luce you need to forget about him. Your never going to see him again." Sarah told her friend; it wasn't healthy for Lucy to keep thinking about him.
"I know but, oh Sarah you haven't see him. Or met him. There's something about him; I just have this urge to know him." Lucy explained to her.
"Lucy you sound like a crazy person." Sarah said.
"I know but I can't help it." Lucy said.
Thomas pressed himself firmly in the corner of his room shaking and hugging his knees to his chest. He could feel the tears running down his cheek. He couldn't believe what had happened; he knew it was going start all over again. He had never been more afraid and scared in his life. That was wrong, he knew there was plenty of times as a child where had been afraid and scared. That was just his life.
Thomas couldn't believe he had been foolish enough to believe that he was finally safe from all that. That everything was okay now.
"Thomas." Steve said and opened the door. "Thomas are you okay?" Steve walked over to him and knelt down next to Thomas.
"Thomas can you talk to me?" Steve asked in a tone that suggested he was talking to a small child rather then a fully grown man. Thomas didn't answer but nodded his head hoping that would count.
"Thomas I know your scared but its okay. I promise; you know you can talk to me don't you?" Steve asked. Thomas nodded again.
"Thomas I just need you to say one thing okay? Can you do that for me?" Steve said.
"Yes Steve." Thomas said in a small voice. "Please I'm okay, I don't wanna go back there."
"You mean the mental hospital?" Steve asked. Thomas nodded.
"Thomas every time you get scared about something doesn't mean you have to go back. It just means we found something we need to improve okay?" Steve asked. Thomas nodded happier now he had the reassurance.
"There's a good boy." Steve said encouragingly. "Can you tell me what scared you so much? I can't help unless you tell me."

Lead problems at Bill Brown Elementary near end By CRAIG HAMMETT Staff Writer Several building projects in the Comal Independent School District ait scheduled to conclude and begin in the near future. Maintenance Director Roy Unnsitz said the much-discussed lead problem st Bill Brown Elementary seems close to a conclusion. Spew-Glas^ the company charged with correcting the problem, will begin placing filters next week in an attempt to eliminate any trace of lead in the sediment found in pipes. Unnsitz said they hope to have the problem solved by the end of January or Hist of February. City, towers unclear on new law Law designed for trucking leaves towing companies, city in dark By TECLO J. GARCIA Staff Writer On another issue, the district is looking at the problem of traffic in front of Smithson Valley High School and Smithson Valley Middle. At SVHS, Linnaitz said the district asked the Texas Department of Transportation to look at possibly moving warning lights further bock in the school speed zone. "We asked them to look at making it a safer situation," said Unnsitz. He said st least three accidents have occured this year on State Hwy. 46 near the intersection of SVHS, despite a reduced speed during school hours. Unnsitz said TxDOT does plan to install warning lights on Farm-to-Msrioet Rood 311 in front of SYMS. Perplexed state and local government officials are taking a wait and see stance concerning a federal law that might affect foe way they regulate towing companies. What has left officials scratching their heads, experts say, is that the legislation was not intended for towing companies. It was aimed at cross-country trucking. In August 1994, the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act was signed into law. It included a provision dealing with "motor carriers" of property. While "motor carriers" normally refers to trucking companies, wreckers and towers also fall under that category. The law, which will go into effect Jan. I, may pre-empt state and local laws regulating prices, routes, or services-of motor carriers (towing companies) of property. Currently foe New Braunfels Police Department calls local wrecker service or towing companies on a rotation basis when it needs towing services * from an accident or otherwise. The law might take away the city's authority to do so. It could force the city to devise another system for non consent towing if towers not included in the rotation wart in. The inclusion of towers into the law by Congress was inadvertent, said Brian Schaible, director of information services at the Railroad Commission which regulates the towing industry in Texas. A last-minute attempt to add an amendment to the bill to exclude towels was rejected. "Up until now, dries had foe opportunity to control what towing charges were," he said. "There has been some concern recently about how much tow trucks charge and no one can tell the truck what to charge. "You are not going to have the city and state to protect you anymore," he said. According to foe police department, New Braunfels currently does not control wrecker service prices for non consent towing, such as that from an •cadent The only regulation imposed by the dty is a rotation. It keeps eight wrecker services on to respond to acci dents, where towing is needed The City of San Antonio, which has one towing firm under contract to do all its towing, has a ceiling of $60 for a tow, excluding sped a1 towing services and storage charges. City Attorney Jacqueline Cullom said the aa was not clear, and she does not think the legislation was aimed sped focally at munidpal and county towers. "The legal bottom line is that there is nothing I can recommend except to keep the status quo," she said. "We have to protect the public interest." Cullom said it would be chaotic if the city could not regulate towing because then several wreckers could show up to a car accident, or maybe none would respond to late night mishap. The current system provides for some organization and stability, she said. Jenneoe Rash, president of the Texas Towing Assedation, said while the new law will benefit towers, it may open up foe industry to unscrupulous entrepreneurs who jure ware to make a quick buck. "We're fighting with everything we can, everything," she said "We don't want the wrecker industry to get a black eye for this. It was congress' doing. We want the industry regulated "We are very concerned about non consent towing." Sylvia Sanchez, of Harold's Towing, said she could not speak for all local towers, but Harold's did not have a problem with the rotational system of calling towers in New Braunfels. "If no wreckers are avtilable(fbr an acddent) then what are you going to do?," she said "It makes sense to keep it the way it is." Sanchez, however, was optimistic about the law's deregulation of state services. The law will allow towers to pull vehides across county lines without requiring a costly permit from the state, Sanchez said "That is benefldal to us because if you did not have the money to get the permit, it would limit you to county service," she raid "I'm glad it went through because we lost revenue the other way." Sanchez said during the summer months Harold's turned away dozens of requests for towing to Houston because it did not have an intrastate towing permit.Too high for bridge NsnMMtow photo by MICHAEL DARNALL Title rife—I truck attempted lo go under the MI overpeee yeetarday at approximately 830 pjn. but wee too tall for the olaartnoa. ■gnMeant damage was dona to th# rig, but not tho evorpeeo.

Magic-Raptors Preview
Associated Press | Last updated December 20, 2012
While Andrea Bargnani and Kyle Lowry remain sidelined, the Toronto Raptors are surprisingly playing their best basketball of the season. The Orlando Magic are too, though extending their four-game winning streak may be tough without Glen Davis. The visiting Magic won't have their starting power forward for the first time this season Friday night when they face the Raptors, who are also seeking a fifth consecutive victory. Orlando (12-13) ranks 26th in the league with 92.8 points per game but has picked up the pace of late, averaging 99.5 in its last four. The Magic's latest victory, though, came at a cost. Averaging a team best-tying 16.0 points and 7.9 rebounds, Davis fell to the floor after taking a hard foul with 47.8 seconds left in a 90-83 win over Washington on Wednesday. While an MRI revealed no structural damage on his sprained left shoulder, Davis could miss four to six weeks. "Everybody is key to this team because we've relied on everyone at different times," guard J.J. Redick told the team's official website. "Glen has been great for us, but we need other guys now to step up. We have capable guys who can do it. I don't expect us to drop off in any way." Big men Gustavo Ayon, Josh McRoberts and rookie Andrew Nicholson figure to take on more minutes with Davis out. The Magic will also surely need Redick to shoulder more of the scoring load. Redick, averaging career highs of 14.2 points and 4.9 assists, has scored 16.3 per game while going 13 for 26 from 3-point range during the team's run. "Our level of play and effort has been consistent all season," he said. "We still have a lot to clean up, but we're improving. That's the biggest thing right now." While Bargnani and Lowry have missed the last five games, Toronto (8-19) has outscored opponents by an average of 12.0 points during its four consecutive wins. Jose Calderon had 17 assists and DeMar DeRozan scored 23 points as the Raptors beat Detroit 97-91 on Wednesday. Toronto was outrebounded 44-33 and outscored 50-32 in the paint but committed a season-low six turnovers. "We're finding ways to win and that's the most important thing for our group," coach Dwane Casey said. "We're believing we can win, we're trusting each other, we're pulling for each other." The Raptors have also received a huge boost from Alan Anderson, who's averaged 19.3 points off the bench in the last three games. He scored 16 on Wednesday. "That's what he does," DeRozan said. "If a couple of us don't have it going, he's definitely one guy we can go to to get points or create something for somebody else." Toronto had dropped three in a row to Orlando before winning 97-86 on Nov. 18 behind a season-high 18 assists from Calderon and 20 points from DeRozan. Davis had 16 points and 12 boards.

UPDATE 2-Canada's energy regulator starts review of oil pipeline to east
(Adds comment from Prime Minister, cost of project and expected in-service date)
By Julie Gordon
VANCOUVER, June 16 (Reuters) - Canada's energy regulator on Thursday officially launched its 21-month review of TransCanada Corp's Energy East pipeline, which would carry crude from Alberta's oil sands to refineries and export terminals in Eastern Canada.
The National Energy Board, which has faced public criticism over its reviews of major energy infrastructure projects, said its review of the C$15.7 billion ($12.1 billion) pipeline will be unique in that the general public will be given the opportunity to provide input.
The review will also consider upstream gas emissions, following new rules introduced by the ruling Liberals in January on the grounds that public trust needed to be restored in the process for assessing big energy projects.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, speaking to reporters on Thursday, said his government had revamped the review process to ensure that all voices were heard and that any decision would be in the best interest of the entire country.
A final recommendation to the federal government, including any proposed conditions on construction, is expected by March 2018, though the regulator said the legislated timeline could be extended if needed.
Canada's resource minister has asked for six-months to review the recommendation before a final federal decision. The pipeline is expected to be in service by 2021.
"This marks an important milestone for the project and is a culmination of TransCanada's efforts to actively communicate and seek input since announcing Energy East three years ago," TransCanada said in a statement. Continued...

Great to work with from start to finish. Property is beautifully maintained. Lake views surround. I'm a stickler for cleanliness and their home did not disappoint. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Great property on Lake Barkley! The house was the perfect size for our family of six. We spent countless hours relaxing on the screened in porch, overlooking the gorgeous views of the lake. Enjoyed family dinners every night, and had so many movies to choose from in the DVD collection available, we weren't even able to get through a third of the movies we wanted to watch! The fire pit and grill were perfect, we used them both several nights, and even saw a family of deer one morning with their babies gallavanting around the fire pit area chasing each other. Very quaint location on the lake, you feel like you're the only people around... But only a short drive from Cadiz for antique shopping, or last minute runs to the grocery store. All in all, couldn't have asked for a better place to unwind and enjoy time together as a family...
We had a difficult week for the outdoors as heat indices were 100° plus nearly every day. And most attractions at Land Between the Lakes were closed due to flooding damage from previous weeks. Thankfully we had a comfortable air conditioned retreat at this lovely home! So many windows from which to see the lake and wildlife, including cranes, deer, and geese, and a box turtle that lives under the front deck that our grand daughter named Timmy the Turtle. Beds are comfortable and each bedroom has its own bath. When we did venture into the sticky thick air we jumped into the lake off the large covered dock. The only negative is that there is not a ladder to get out of the water; you must wade to the muddy rocky shore. However we would still highly recommend this beautiful home. Bring outdoor shoes as the wildlife does leave droppings in the grass that you don't want to bring into the house. Oh! And the little Cabin Coffee & Cafe in Cadiz makes delicious lattes and cold brews.
We loved the house! We thoroughly enjoyed the screened porch and spent many hours there listening to the rain, reading, and just enjoying the view. We loved having the convenience of having a boat dock for our boat to easily enjoy fishing, tubing, and boating around the lake. The property is tucked away in a beautiful quiet setting. The kitchen was fully equipped and the kids loved having their own rooms each with a bathroom. Loved it!
The home was beautiful and perfect for our family. It is right on the lake and the property is beautiful. The screened in porch was perfect for sitting and enjoying the lake view. Great home for a relaxing vacation!
Beautiful home, steps from the water. We floated and sunbathed off the dock. Reading on the screened in porches. It was a quiet part of the lake so we didn't have the noise of boats. We relaxed in the hammock. We had several fires in the firepit. We saw a bald eagle and 2 baby deer and a momma were steps from the home. We took many walks on the quiet country roads. We rented a boat that fit the dock perfectly. The floor plan was open and conducive to family fun. Easy access to Cadiz for antique shopping, Nashville, and the Land Between the Lakes for exploring. Thank you!

Kabul, Sept.14 (ANI): Taliban leaders are apparently nurturing hopes of rebuilding their political clout in Kabul, according to a top United Nations envoy and some Afghan politicians.
"Any indication that they're moving from bullets to ballots, as imperfect as it might be, is a good indicator," the Washington Post quoted Staffan de Mistura, a former top U.N. representative in Iraq, and now in Afghanistan, as saying.
De Misturasaid said Afghanistan's insurgent leaders could be trying to bolster their political standing in anticipation of a reconciliation process that Afghan President Hamid Karzai is hoping to jump-start this fall.
"That's exactly the type of thing that happened in Iraq at a certain point," de Mistura said, referring to the period after the 2007 U.S. troop surge, when political factions with armed wings started putting more stock in deal-making than in fighting.
He said: "People started discussing, arguing, compromising, negotiating, making deals on a political level, using the political game plan rather than bombs and explosions. In that sense, these elections could be helpful."
However, Martine van Bijlert, co-director of the Afghanistan Analysts Network, said there was little evidence that the Taliban's leadership is interested in playing a formal role in the political system at this point in time.
"They've come out strongly against the election," she said, adding, "They didn't have to. They could have been more ambiguous."
She said any overtures might speak to the evolution of local politics, rather than a softening of the Taliban's position on Afghanistan's U.S.-backed democratic system.
Meanwhile, Saturday's parliamentary election is being seen as a crucial milestone that could restore - or dash - Afghans' faith in the democratic system that was established after the Taliban was driven from power nine years ago.
Many Afghans have come to see the government as a corrupt oligarchy with little reach outside the capital - a view reinforced by last year's fraud-tainted presidential election.
More than 2,500 candidates - 406 of them female - are running for 249 seats. Campaigning has unfolded amid rising violence.
Daoud Sultanzoy, a member of parliament from the violence-ridden province of Ghazni said Taliban leaders have shown an unprecedented level of interest in the political process in the run-up to this election.
"It's not an emphatic endorsement of the process yet, but there are gestures suggesting they want to be on both sides. They're keeping their military options open and gently feeling their way into the political system, opening their horizons and seeing what's there," he said.
International election experts and Afghan politicians say that reaching deals with insurgents is the only way some candidates are able to campaign in Taliban-controlled districts.
"The election has no credibility in the eye of the common man in spite of the fact that the Americans have spent or are spending large amounts of money and campaigns to bribe people are in full swing," the Taliban said in a statement translated by the SITE Intelligence Group.
Karzai is attempting to reach a negotiated truce with the Taliban, an effort the government hopes will gain traction after the election.
De Mistura said he had a "hunch" the peace talks would start in earnest between November and December.
"Everybody is getting tired. The Taliban are also getting tired and they know they will never win the war. They realize that," he said. (ANI)

An article in the Spokesman Review newspaper. His point near the end, "Tragically, they weren't safe. Virginia Tech's "gun-free zone" was not gun-free." is well said. He makes a few more statements in the article that are painfully obvious to us, but hard for an anti to digest: "Ordinary law-abiding people, it turns out, are pretty trustworthy." "Experience has shown that these people aren't threats." and "...students, professors and visitors would now "feel safe" on campus. Tragically, they weren't safe." are among them. I found it to be a good read. His closing argument is profound.
http://www.spokesmanreview.com/opini...=187211&page=1'Gun-free zone' a false security
Michael Barone
Creators Syndicate
April 30, 2007
The murders two weeks ago at Virginia Tech naturally set off a cry in the usual quarters – the New York Times, the London-based Economist – for stricter gun-control laws. Democratic officeholders didn't chime in, primarily because they believe they were hurt by the issue in 2000 and 2004, but most privately agree.
What most discussions of this issue tend to ignore is that we have two tracks of political debate and two sets of laws on gun control. At the federal level, there has been a push for more gun control laws since John Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, and some modest restrictions have been passed. At the state level, something entirely different has taken place.
In 1987, Florida passed a law allowing citizens who could demonstrate that they were law-abiding and had sufficient training to obtain permits on demand to own and carry concealed weapons. In the succeeding 20 years, many other states have passed such laws, so that today you can, if you meet the qualifications, carry concealed weapons in 40 states with 67 percent of the nation's population (including Vermont, with no gun restrictions at all).
When Florida passed its concealed-weapons law, I thought it was a terrible idea. People would start shooting each other over traffic altercations; parking lots would turn into shooting galleries. Not so, it turned out. Only a very, very few concealed-weapons permits have been revoked. There are only rare incidents in which people with concealed-weapons permits have used them unlawfully. Ordinary law-abiding people, it turns out, are pretty trustworthy.
I'm not the only one to draw such a conclusion. When she was Michigan's attorney general, Democrat Jennifer Granholm opposed the state's concealed-weapons law, which took effect in 2001. But now, as governor, she's not seeking its repeal. She says that her fears – like those I had about Florida's law 20 years ago – proved to be unfounded.
So far as I know, there are no politically serious moves to repeal any state's concealed-weapons laws. In most of the United States, as you go to work, shop at the mall, go to restaurants and walk around your neighborhood, you do so knowing that some of the people you pass may be carrying guns. You may not even think about it. But that's all right. Experience has shown that these people aren't threats.
Virginia has a concealed-weapons law. But Virginia Tech was, by the decree of its administrators, a "gun-free zone." Those with concealed-weapons permits were not allowed to take their guns on campus and were disciplined when they did. A bill was introduced in the state House of Delegates to allow permit-holders to carry guns on campus. When it was sidetracked, a Virginia Tech administrator hailed the action and said that students, professors and visitors would now "feel safe" on campus.
Tragically, they weren't safe. Virginia Tech's "gun-free zone" was not gun-free. In contrast, killers on other campuses were stopped by faculty or bystanders who had concealed-weapons permits and brandished their guns to stop the killing.
We may hear more about gun control at the national level. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals recently ruled that the District of Columbia's ban on handguns violates the Second Amendment's right "to keep and bear arms."
Judge Laurence Silberman's strong opinion argues that this is consistent with the Supreme Court's ruling in a 1939 case upholding a federal law banning sawed-off shotguns. Limited regulation is allowed, Silberman wrote, but not a total ban. Somewhere on the road between a law banning possession of nuclear weapons and banning all guns, the Second Amendment stands in the way. This is the view as well of the liberal constitutional law scholar Laurence Tribe. The Supreme Court may take the case, which is in conflict with other circuits' rulings.
If it upholds the D.C. decision, there is still room for reasonable gun regulation. The mental health ruling on the Virginia Tech killer surely should have been entered into the instant check database to prevent him from buying guns. The National Rifle Association is working with gun control advocate Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y., to improve that database.
But even as we fine-tune laws to make sure guns don't get into the wrong hands, maybe the opinion elites will realize that in places where gun ownership is widespread, we're safer than in a "gun-free zone."

Faith- Tears, hope, friends.Mature
I woke up lying on my couch, my body stiff and my neck aching. Dry blood ran down my neck and socked into my dress collar. Hastily I went over to the kitchen and whipped away the blood. Then I throw up in the sink, remembering last night or was it day? I was losing track of the days and time here. How long had it been? Terry hands, his teeth and his words still echoed. Splashing cold water on my face woke me up a little, but I still felt tired and weak.
Curling up in a ball I cried and hating myself for feeling weak.
"Hey Faith shh, it's ok." I lifted my head to see Tabitha crouched in front of me; her kind caring eyes held my red ringed watery ones.
"Don't tell me everything ok! It's not!" I shouted.
"I know but we're going to get out of this mess somehow, all of us together."
"How? Terry got the upper hand on us, he took away the important things in our heads and these no way I'm ever gonna get my hands on my notebook." I sighed feeling my temper rising. "What we gonna do? Huh? We can't do anything, I the only way for me to get my hands on my notebook is if Terry goes out. But then his other puppet Ryan will snitch on me, or get in my way."
"Delia could always hypnosis him for a little while, but I don't want to ask her to do that and I know that she swore that she wouldn't do that." I ran my hand through my hair. "It's hopeless."
"No don't ever say that." Looked towards the door to see an unfamiliar face with dark brown hair and sapphire eyes, he was nice looking. "These always hope you just have to believe." He smiled encouraging at me.
I returned his smile and stood up; Tabitha caught my hand to steady me. "You right, just breaking point I guess."
"Understandable. I'm Markus by the way." Holding out his hand.
I took his hand and shock it. "Faith, nice to meet you."
"And you but sorry it's under these circumstances."
"Friendship can be made under any circumstances when you think about it." Tabitha added.
"Yer your right." Markus let go of my hand and looked at Tabitha.
I went out into the main room leaving Tabitha and Markus in the kitchen.
"Sorry I couldn't help last night." Delia said sitting next to me.
"Don't worry about it, Terry knows that I'm on to him." I admitted.
"What do you mean?" She asked frowning.
"My notebook, Delia he's got it I know that he has and I have to get it. Whatever in it is important to me." I told her.
"Faith I don't think that was a good idea, but I liked that you stood up to him." She sighed and added. "But I really don't think that was a good idea."
"Okay I know but, god Delia I had to do something and I still do."
"I need to steal my notebook back." I whispered. "And get everyone else out of here."

We woke up to more snow that expected today. Started with a delay, but by 7:15AM had become a snow day. We'll take it. Bill and Morgan went into school - Bill did some work and Morgan built with KNex. Allison and I played at home. We went outside a bit this afternoon, but the temperature had fallen and we couldn't say long. Morgan went with Grandma to the WSU basketball game tonight. I'll take any snow day we get (well up to the 5 we don't have to make up!) Refreshing and makes for a very short work week!

There's more than one way to roast a turkey. Pleased for all these years with the results of his roasting method, Joe Belmont of Franklin e-mailed us to share his technique.
His method guarantees moist breast meat, he said. He's used it as long as he can remember (he's 62), as did his father and grandmother, both caterers, before him.
"Whether I cook the bird in the oven or in my Weber kettle, the result is the same; there is never dry white meat," he wrote.
"Almost everyone places their bird in the oven on its back and roasts it for hours; all the while the natural juice is doing what gravity forces it to do, it falls from the breast into the bird's cavity and the white meat gets drier and drier."
Instead, Belmont cooks his turkey BREAST DOWN for two-thirds of the total cooking time and then turns it breast up for the last one-third, to brown the breast for presentation.
"Again, gravity works," he wrote, "but this time the natural juices stay and/or fall into the breast. All that is required is a 'V' roasting rack to keep the bird from falling to one side or the other while on its breast."
He also issued a warning: "Extreme care must be taken when flipping the bird from breast to back. The bird must be kept level to prevent the extremely hot liquid from spilling out one end of the bird or the other and onto your hands or wrists; a burn and a bird on the floor is the likely outcome if this is not done carefully."
A few years ago, he said, he asked a turkey hot-line advisor why this breast-down technique was never offered. Her response was that while she personally cooks her turkeys that way, they were not allowed to suggest that method due to liability issues.
"If you have never tried doing it this way, try it," Belmont wrote. "You will not be disappointed."

Addressing safety after a few car fires that led the stock to slump in late 2013, Tesla Motors (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk said Friday that the company has added three shields to its electric Model S sedans: a hollow aluminum bar to deflect objects or absorb impact, and both a titanium underbody plate and an aluminum layer to further protect.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration concurrently issued a report saying it was concluding its investigation related to the fires and had found no "defect trend" in Tesla's pricey and much-lauded Model S cars.
Tesla stock was up 3% in early afternoon trading in the stock market today, following the news.
Musk, known as a big user of Twitter (TWTR), delivered word of the new Model S shields both at Tesla's website and in a Tesla post on medium.com, a blog platform founded by Twitter co-founders Evan Williams and Biz Stone two years ago.
"Tesla Adds Titanium Underbody Shield and Aluminum Deflector Plates to Model S," the posting begins. In it, Musk talks about two "extremely unusual" Model S collisions last year that resulted in underbody damage that led to car fires, and notes that those incidents compared with 200,000 gasoline car fires that happened in 2013 in North America. A third Model S fire had occurred in Mexico.
Musk adds in his medium.com post that there have been no fire injuries in a Tesla ever, and says in the fire incidents he mentioned the occupants "would still have been safely protected by the steel and ceramic firewall between the battery pack and the passenger compartment."
To bring related risk "down to virtually zero," Musk writes, "starting with vehicle bodies manufactured as of March 6, all cars have been outfitted with a triple underbody shield."
He says Tesla service will also retrofit the shields for free to existing cars upon request or as part of a normally scheduled service. The company had already issued a software update that for safety raised the ground clearance at highway speeds.
The NHTSA said in its report that it closed its investigation on Wednesday.
"Tesla's revision of vehicle ride height and addition of increased underbody protection should reduce both the frequency of underbody strikes and the resultant fire risk," the NHTSA said in a document on its website. "A defect trend has not been identified. Accordingly, the investigation is closed."
Tesla stock can be volatile, having much short interest betting against its so-far meteoric rise. Shares opened in 2013, Tesla's first year of substantial Model S production, near 33 and hit a closing high of 193.37 on Sept. 30, before news of the first Model S fire. By Nov. 26 Tesla stock had declined to 116.10, a drop of 40%. It has since rebounded and now trade near 214.
Tesla is the eighth-largest company by market cap in IBD's Auto Manufacturers industry group. The group, currently ranked No. 100 of 197 tracked, is dominated by Toyota (TM) and Daimler (DDAIF), with whom Tesla has partnerships. Tesla was one of just 15 companies with at least $1 billion in market cap that saw stock gains above 300% in 2013 — it rose 344%.
"I think Elon has a very strong vision and clearly that's important, that results in a very solid product," UBS analyst Colin Langan told IBD. "I think he's challenged a lot of industry conventions."
In his first research note initiating coverage on Tesla on Wednesday, Langan wrote:
"While the rally has been driven by a series of positive news flow, at this point, we see risk-reward as slightly skewed toward the downside. We do not see a near-term catalyst that could drive the stock further, as the launch of the Model X is not until spring 2015, the launch of the Gen III mass-market vehicle is at least three years away, it is too early to add a new plant, and management has already guided to a production level of (500,000) vehicles by 2020."
On the other hand, he writes, "several downside risks could drive the stock down materially. These include a potential product defect or failure, potentially disappointing battery performance, and weak 2014 earnings."

Islamabad, Feb.25 (ANI): Pakistan has rejected claims that Al-Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden has taken refuge inside its territory.
A member of the National Assembly (NA), Sajid Hussain Turi, referring to a report which claimed that Laden was most likely hiding in the town of Parachinar in Kurram Agency, said that it was impossible for Laden to seek refuge in an area dominated by an anti-militant population.
"I strongly contradict the report, as Parachinar is completely different from other tribal areas with the majority of the population being Shias, community who are known as anti-Taliban," The Dawn quoted Turi, as saying.
Turi, who represents Kurram Agency in the National Assembly, said both Sunni and Shia communities were against any terror activities in the region.
Earlier, US geographer, Thomas Gillespie of the University of California-Los Angeles, suggested that Osama might be hiding in one of three compounds in Parachinar, a town 12 miles from the Afghan border.
Gillespie based his conclusion on night-time satellite readings and on public reports of Osama's habits and whereabouts. (ANI)

After hanging out at the show last week and being surrounded by so many totally talented machine quilters, I thought it might be a good idea to have a list where you can find them. You can contact them for personal jobs, special show jobs, or if you are like me –watch all their you-tube videos and glean just a little bit of their knowledge into my own work.
They each will have their own style, maybe even have a line of products to use to better your own talent.
I have hunted around and have found a few that I am familiar with- the list will be ever growing {like the quilt along page} so if you know of a machine quilting tutorial or sewer, let me know so I can add it.

Many of Jeb Bush's longest-serving advisers view Marco Rubio's run as a personal betrayal and they are itching to get revenge, as reported by RedState.
Jeb persuaded important donors to endorse Rubio for his Senate race. He also backed his bid for House speaker in Florida.
RedState reported that some of Mr. Bush's closest allies call Rubio "Judas".
Jeb had built his strategy early on with it in mind that Rubio would not enter the race, and then he did.
It has been a thorn in the side of the Jeb campaign ever since, of course splitting support especially in Florida itself.
Jeb was already in trouble in Florida early in the year, when relatively unknown Scott Walker began to tie Jeb in some polls. That was horrendous for a popular governor.
If Jeb could not take his own state, how could he win the primary battle?
The last few months have Jeb many times in 4th and 5th place in his own home state. Rubio is a big contributor to that serious problem.
As far back as October, the word was that Jeb's advisers have a "Growing Contempt" for Rubio.
But Rubio, albeit a huge factor in Jeb's problem with a path to win, is not his only huge hinderance.
Jeb, although a popular and rather accomplished governor, entered this race with giant millstone around his campaign. His last name.
Jeb's name problem is two fold. The first is huge. Even among those who might agree with and like him, simply going down the road of a third Bush term is just not digestible. Whether they like Jeb as a candidate, or not. Whether they liked Bush 41 and 43, or not. They just do not want to go there.
The second problem has to do with the legacies of his father and brother.
Illegitimate or not, Bush 43 had some serious baggage as he left the White House. He was one of the most unpopular departing presidents in U.S. history. A CBS News/New York Times poll gave him a final approval rating of 22%.
Having Bush 41 as a father has it's baggage as well. George H.W. Bush lost his re-election to a second term and was blamed for a weak economy.
Although Jeb's personal name does not have the same recognition as his famous last name, the fact that he is presently flailing in the polls is a huge problem for his campaign. His campaign team has been fully aware of this problem and has purposely worked hard to distance the name Jeb from the name Bush.
As Philip Rucker points out in the Washington Post:
"The campaign stickers… say, "Jeb!" with no hint of the Bush name that comes after."
So we will wait and watch. It is pretty predictable at this point, as Jeb is at the bottom of the pack in all of the upcoming primary states, and as he has spent almost as much as ALL the other candidates combined with little to show for it, that Jeb will not win this.
What he does to affect the other candidates involved, like Rubio, we will just have to wait and see.

A.W.E. School Studio Program at Academy of Accelerated Learning merges science, art
Students at Academy of Accelerated Learning will celebrate the work they created in an artist residency sponsored by Artists Working in Education, Inc. on Wednesday, April 9th.
Milwaukee, WI – Students at Academy of Accelerated Learning will celebrate the work they created in an artist residency sponsored by Artists Working in Education, Inc. (A.W.E.) on Wednesday, April 9th. This is the fifth year Writer/Performer Dasha Kelly and Visual Artist Valaria Tatera have partnered to work with Teacher Jim Gross' third grade class through the A.W.E. School Studio program.
The artists developed their activities around science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM), merging science with writing and the visual arts through poems, stories, installations, painting, sculpture, performance art and video documentation. On any given day, students could be seen using their bodies to model molecules, creating folk art from recycled materials, or exploring the mathematics of sculpture.
"This project will benefit students by showing pride in attending an International Baccalaureate (IB) school, as well as all the wonderful cultures represented here," Teacher Jim Gross said.
The students will celebrate their work on Wednesday, April 9th from 1:00 p.m. – 2:15 p.m. in their classroom at the Academy of Accelerated Learning, 3727 S 78th St, Milwaukee, WI 53220.

Dwayne Roloson is ranked number-1 in the NHL Playoffs, for goals against average, and save percentage. He's the hottest goaltender in the playoffs. But he was mainly concerned with the news that had the Lightning opening the Eastern Conference Finals against Boston, on Saturday.
"Obviously, it was a little mind-boggling trying to figure when we're leaving, what we're doing," Roloson told 10 News after the Tuesday practice. "But at the same time, it's playoff hockey and you never know what's going to happen."
And if anyone knows, that you never know in the playoffs, it's 41-year-old Dwayne Roloson. He's played in 44 playoff games, in his 14 years in the NHL. And he's learned to play the game, more by feel than anything else.

Roloson had given Tampa Bay a chance with a spectacular performance in a 1-0 loss to the Bruins in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference final. His teammates wish they could have given the 41-year-old veteran more to work with.
Roloson was on top of his game, making 37 saves as the Bruins peppered him with several great scoring chances.
In the end, Roloson's streak of seven wins in elimination games was snapped, one shy of a league record. But it wasn't his fault. In a series in which Roloson struggled at times, getting pulled from Games 2 and 4 and giving up four goals on 20 shots in Game 6, he bounced back
He's money in the post-season, especially when facing elimination. If not for the injury in the '06 postseason, he'd be a Stanley Cup champion with a Conn Smythe trophy in his cabinet. He's the Hornets' starter.
