Downtown event showcases burgeoning food scene
The Taste of Downtown had locals sampling all kinds of new dishes at Manhattan eateries Tuesday night.
The inaugural event, a fundraiser for the Little Apple Optimist Club, was co-sponsored by Downtown Manhattan Inc., and both organizations set out to showcase the new and longtime restaurants on Poyntz Avenue and the surrounding area. The 300 tickets available to the event sold out in less than 74 hours.
"People are excited and curious about the ever-changing environment downtown," said Blade Mages, a member of the Optimists.
Eleven downtown restaurants participated in the event: Bourbon & Baker, Radina's Bakehouse, Old Chicago, Karnivore Bar and BBQ, Hibachi Hut, Hazel Hill Chocolate, Harry's, dellaVoce, AJ's Pizzeria, 4 Olives and 4 Cakes.
Each stop offered attendees a bite-sized taste of their cuisine.
"We're giving people the opportunity to try a different culinary experience," said Gina Scroggs, executive director of Downtown Manhattan Inc. "The restaurants are all bringing something different to the table."
Bourbon & Baker served shrimp and a biscuit while 4 Cakes offered a choice of four flavors of mini cupcakes.
The selections gave attendees a chance to try something different and maybe find a new favorite, Mages said.
"It's an opportunity to break your own habits," he said. "A person going to Harry's all the time might not go to AJ's."
However, the event also promoted the idea of a cohesive food scene, rather than individual restaurants, downtown, said Scott Benjamin, chef and owner of 4 Olives.
"I like the idea of people thinking of us as a group," Benjamin said.
The dish served at his restaurant on Tuesday was an Idaho smoked trout mousse on crostini, which Benjamin used to represent the seafood he said his restaurant is known for.
Chelsee Thomas stopped and sampled a crostini during the event. Thomas, who said she is relatively new to the Manhattan area, came out for the event to try new spots she hadn't yet had a chance to visit.
"We really want to experience everything down here, so this is perfect," Thomas said.
Taste of Downtown had something new for even those who are familiar with popular restaurants, as the yet-to-be-opened Radina's Bakehouse offered visitors a look inside and a loaf of bread.
"It was fun to get a sneak peek," said Jessica Falcone.
Falcone said attending the event gave insight into the changes occurring in the area.
"You get to know what people are doing and support downtown," she said. "I'm excited about the growth."
Daniel and Kendall Silberstein live near downtown and have also noticed the growth.
"It's good for the area to showcase everything they have down here," Daniel said.
The Silbersteins tried the shrimp gumbo, corn bread and bread pudding that Hibachi Hut offered.
"We're a Cajun restaurant, so those are a lot of our staples," said Hut manager Shaunasee Wilkinson.
Tarsha Rafferty also stopped at Hibachi Hut and sampled a dish she'd never tried before — a theme for the evening.
"I've never tried shrimp gumbo before but it's been fantastic," Rafferty said.
Scroggs said the curiosity and excitement for Taste of Downtown was not a surprise to her. It's a work in progress, she said, but the area has years of growth in front of it.
"I'm down here every day, and I feel the buzz every day," Scroggs said.

The course tutor will guide students through a series of key topics via reading materials, online activities, and discussion forums. The discussion forums will be the primary space where students are able to interact with one another and their tutor to discuss questions, solve problems and share ideas - just as they would expect to do in a face-to-face classroom setting.
Fantastic! I've learnt a huge amount in a thoroughly digestible way. The text dovetails really well with the core reading with clear directions on what to read when for greatest effect. The tutor support is excellent - his comments on my work have been totally constructive and helpful.
Genevieve, student
The tutor added many thoughtful replies to discussions that offered a more experienced viewpoint and provided many new things to think about and consider, especially with the projects.
James, student
The way the course was cut up into bite-size chunks made it more manageable given the short time-scales. It seemed very well structured and the topics 'walked' you through the process of planning a survey. The opportunities to have a go at some simple surveying techniques was also nice and the course overall made a slightly daunting area of conservation more manageable.
Jim, student
Students will benefit from the expertise and practical experience of the course tutor throughout their time on the course, and will be able to receive advice and guidance tailored to the particular topic at hand. Students taking the course for credit will also benefit from individual feedback on their assessment submitted after the course.
During the course students will also be encouraged to undertake a range of optional practical activities including pitfall trapping, pan trapping, light trapping, and identifying microhabitats in their local environments. This will complement the skills and considerations covered in the rest of the course and students will be invited to share and compare their results.
All learning materials are made available through the course Virtual Learning Environment 'Moodle', and reading is available to download or is accessible via the Bodleian Libraries'online library which provides an excellent range of e-books and e-journals. Via their Oxford username, students can gain access to all the University's electronic resources enabling them to conduct their own reading and research in their own time.

Research interests
My research focuses on understanding and quantifying the ecology, hydrology and management of wetlands and freshwater habitats. I have particular interests in the ecological importance of microflow environments provided by aquatic plants in rivers and wetlands; water and nutrient cycling in wetlands; wetland vegetation dynamics; constructed wetlands; biogeography of aquatic plants; and the conservation of freshwaters.
I have carried out field survey work in a diversity of freshwater habitats in Tunisia, Australia, Antarctica, Guatemala and the UK. I am a research associate in the Water Research Group in the School of Geography & the Environment at Oxford, and I am always keen to discuss possible collaborations in interdisciplinary research in pure and applied freshwater processes/ecology.
Marley Fen Project: I am part of a team carrying out field research and monitoring into plant-water relationships at Marley Fen in Wytham Woods, Oxfordshire. The results of our research are being used directly in the management plan for this SSSI site.
Reduction of Algal Loading on Water Treatment Works: I co-supervise a research project investigating the ecological functions of a floating reed bed, Living-Filter, on Farmoor Reservoir, for water treatment. The DPhil is funded by Thames Water and involves an industrial collaboration between Aquatic Engineering, Thames Water and the Department for Engineering Science at Oxford University. The research involves field investigations at Farmoor Reservoir and lab experiments using bioreactors at Begbroke Science Park.

Mr Paul Manning
Paul completed his B.Sc in Agriculture at Dalhousie University (Canada), and is currently reading for a DPhil in Zoology at the University of Oxford. He has been fascinated with invertebrates from a young age, and is particularly interested in understanding the numerous beneficial and antagonistic roles invertebrates play in agricultural ecosystems.
Paul's current research looks to understand the consequences that intensive pasture management has on soil and dung invertebrates and the beneficial functions they provide (eg: dung decomposition, enhancing forage growth, improving soil porosity). Specific research questions include: the benefits of conserving functional diversity of dung beetles, the role of taxonomic diversity in supporting ecosystem multifunctionality (simultaneous delivery of multiple functions), and achieving a more holistic understanding of the non-target consequences which veterinary medication use has within pasture ecosystems.
Alongside his research, Paul is interested in scientific communication: finding ways to engage others in developing a deeper appreciation for the complexity and beauty of the natural world. His writing has been featured on a number of science media sites, and he produces weekly illustrated posts highlighting interesting components of insect diversity and ecology on his personal blog.
Teaching methods
The teaching time frame covers 5 weeks. The content covered is roughly comparable to 1 week full-time study, students can expect to engage with and contribute to the course for around 10-15 hours per week depending on whether it is taken for credit or not. The course tutor will engage online for no less than 6 hours per week, this is usually distributed across each week and will focus on particular topics and activities.
Please note that there will be a 9 day break part way through the course during which the tutor will be away; the end date of the course has been extended to cover a full five weeks of study. Students are welcome to continue with course reading during this period. If you have any questions please contact the course team on the details below.
There is no set time to log in to the course, which makes it ideal for students in different time zones as well as those wishing to study flexibly on a weekly basis; topics will be covered following a suggested calendar of activity, ensuring that activities, discussion and reading are completed within the 5 week duration and at an even pace with other students.

This group is made up of a great group of women going out of their way to make connections for each other and are making this group a very powerful networking group. Thanks for all you do. The new Let's Network & WIN! at Night event is a great way to include men in our networking group. Love the Women groups, but many of our members benefit with a mixed gender business peers & customers so it is a nice additional option.

Sharp's Bond Rally Is 'Groundless,' Credit Advisory Ohashi Says
Sharp Corp.'s bond rally is driven by "groundless enthusiasm" because the company's ability to survive remains in question, according to Hidetoshi Ohashi, who runs hedge fund Japan Credit Advisory Co.
"The company is barely scraping by" and it's still unclear if the television maker can repay 200 billion yen ($2.1 billion) of convertible bonds maturing in September, Ohashi said at a seminar held by SMBC Friend Securities Co. on Feb. 19. "This isn't the time to lose caution."
Investors, emboldened by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's plans for 10.3 trillion yen of fiscal stimulus, have flocked to the debt of junk-rated manufacturers Tokyo Electric Power Co. and Nippon Sheet Glass Co. in search of higher returns. Sharp's 100 billion yen of bonds due 2014 have more than doubled, rising to 78.5 yen yesterday per 100 yen face value, from a record low of 35 yen on Oct. 18, according to JS Price data.
Abe, whose Liberal Democratic Party swept to power in December, has spurred the Topix stock index to the longest rally since 1973 and pushed the yen to its lowest since May 2010 by calling on the central bank to lift limits on spending and end deflation. Tokyo Electric's notes maturing in 2017 and Nippon Sheet Glass's 24 billion yen of debt due 2015 are trading at record highs, JS Price data show.
Sharp plans to replenish funds necessary for the repayment by selling assets in addition to boosting cash flow, Tetsuo Onishi, a senior executive managing officer at the company, said at a Feb. 1 briefing. The Osaka-based manufacturer forecast at the time operating profit will reach 13.8 billion yen in the six months to March 31, rebounding from a 168.9 billion loss in the first half.
"The markets seem to believe the LDP won't let the company go bankrupt," Ohashi said. "It is just a baseless gamble, not a rational judgment."
Ohashi, a former Tokyo-based credit strategist for Morgan Stanley, started a hedge fund last year with a focus on Japanese corporate bonds and credit-default swaps.

My worsening condition was beginning to frighten me and I began to panic. I later come out dressed to find Robin. "Shall we go to a nightclub?"
"If you want"
"I do" Robin nods and I point at the door. "Or do you need time to change?"
"Nah, what I'm wearing's fine"
I smile. "Lets go then"
We then head towards the club. I pick a club using tons of UV light allowing me to hide in among the glowing people with white clothing. Its completely my scene. Several people dancing, people getting wasted, people kissing. The works.
I follow Robin who heads straight to the bar. While he orders a Jack Daniels I order a vodka shot. Robin downs his then goes to order another but I notice he gets whiskey sour instead. I take another shot. "Robin?"
"Mmm?" I hug Robin and a girl who'd been eyeing him up walks off. "What're you doing?"
"I don't like people eyeing you" I say which gets me a laugh. I find myself pouting and Robin has some of his drink. I see more people looking at Robin and hug him more tightly getting a hum which then tempts me into kissing his cheek. Robin shuts his eyes and I rest my head on his shoulder with a happy sigh.
"Go enjoy yourself. Find someone to take home, you deserve it"
"No, I'm staying with you" I say getting a groan from Robin. I kiss his neck lightly. Robin heaves a sigh and I look up at him. "Problem?"
"Elioth, I'm ordering you to go and find someone else"
"No" I snap.
"Why not?"
"Cause I'm not doing it"
"Why?" Robin says with a groan.
"I don't want anyone else" I say starting to get annoyed but non of this seeps into my tone. Can't he understand how much I've worked out I care about him. Can't he see that I only want him. Apparently not cause he sighs heavily. I hug Robin even more. He downs his drink ordering another one while I remain holding Robin glaring at anyone who begins checking him out.
"Eli, get off"
"No" I repeat and kiss Robin with a passion brought forth by some of the alcohol in my veins even though I've not had much. He doesn't kiss back and I pull away. "I'm not leaving you open"
"I'm not in the mood to fuck anyone anyway"
"I don't care"
"So why'd we come here?" Robin asks. I kiss him again slightly more forcefully. He pushes me off and I find myself hurt.
"Robin" I moan.
"No, Elioth"
I glare furious and annoyed before storming off. I easily find some dealer buying some drug and take it with a relieved sigh. I return to Robin slumping down next to him and I get a small glance. I just sit there which is when two girls stumble over giggling. Robin gets another drink and I try to ignore them.
"Hey, do you two have a place?" one asks, who has bright pink hair.
"No, we're hobo's" Robin says sarcastically which make them giggle. Such an annoying sound.
"Well, we can all have fun together at mine" the pink haired one says again. Robin downs his drink and I just sit silent. "I'm Katie and this is Chrisie"
"That's an amazing name" Chrisie says reaching out to stroke my arm. I don't react to the touch feeling a bit odd yet the touch is nice. Robin rolls his eyes.
"Do you want to come?" Katie asks and Robin shrugs. I stay completely silent because Chrisie's touch has moved to my hips. "Well, we aren't taking no for an answer"
Katie takes Robin's hand and Chrisie takes mine and we're pulled out of the night club. We're pulled along to an apartment. As soon as we get in Katie kisses Robin and I feel Chrisie's lips on my neck. All I can do is look at Katie kissing Robin. I don't really notice my clothes coming off. Robin glances at me and I just frown as I'm begun to be pulled towards a room.
Robin lets Katie pull him as well and we get taken to a bedroom where we're pushed down onto a bed. Suddenly, the girls take an interest in each other and begin kissing. 'I don't like this' I send to Robin mentally but he doesn't notice continuing to watch the girls.
I nudge him annoyed. "Oi,you two don't just sit there!"
I watch as Robin smirks and I feel frightened. "But I'm enjoying the show" Katie smiles and she straddles Robin's hips. Robin grips her hips and I try to speak but then Chrisie is on me kissing me. I notice Robin is kissing Katie and I feel pain. So I just give in and let instinct take over.

|[jira] Commented: (DERBY-2212) Add "Unique where not null" to create index
|Wed, 07 Nov 2007 09:07:50 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2212?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12540705 ] Anurag Shekhar commented on DERBY-2212: --------------------------------------- thanks Oleksandr and Øystein for the feed back. In this new version I have fixed the typos and elaborated sections related to introduction, test case and documentation. About the changes in unique index a new index will be required to support unique constraints on null able columns but weather to expose the new type of index to user is not clear. Probably I should split this issue one about unique constraint and another to expose the backing index directly to the users. I will take up the 2ns task too if its decided that its good idea to have it. > Add "Unique where not null" to create index > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-2212 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2212 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: SQL > Affects Versions: 10.2.1.6 > Reporter: Oleksandr Alesinskyy > Assignee: Anurag Shekhar > Attachments: derby-2212preview.diff, derby-2212preview2.diff, FunctionalSpec.html, FunctionalSpecV3.html, FunctionlaSpecv2.html > > > Derby prohibits creation of unique constraints on nullable colums (as well if only some columns in the constraint list are nullable) and treat nulls in unique indexes as normal values (i.e. only one row with null values in indexed columns may be inserted into the table). This bahavior is very restrictive, does not completely comply with SQL standards (both letter and intent) as well as with business needs and intending meaning of NULL values (2 null values are not considered as equal, this comparision shall return NULL, and for selection criteria boolean null is treated as FALSE). > This behavior, as far as I can see, is modelled after DB2 (and differs from behavior of most other major databases, like SyBase, Oracle, etc.). > But even DB2 provide some means to alleviate these restrictions, namely "UNIQUE WHERE NOT NULL" clause for CREATE INDEX statement. > It will be very good if such "UNIQUE WHERE NOT NULL" clause will be introduced in Derby. > Regards, > Oleksandr Alesinskyy -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Summary: What if Darry was an abusive drunk, Ponyboy was not a dreamer, but the anti-dreamer, and Soda was…well, still Soda? And what if the Curtis brothers had a sister? A depressed, absent sister who cut herself, and had no one to turn to until she bonded with the hardened Dallas Winston?
Rated T for drug & alcohol references, and language - the rating WILL change as the story progresses.
Darry and Pony are, as of now, OOC. Soda is still himself. I will try my very hardest to capture his personality, but I'm doubtful that I will ever be able to perfect the Sodapop S.E. Hinton made a reality. :] [The same applies for Dally, btw.]
Please enjoy;
"Dammit, Becca, you gotta spend the night at my house. Forget about them damn brother's of yours for a day and come over," Nancy persuaded.
Nancy Beverly was my wonderful, charming, completely unknowing best friend. As far as she was concerned, there weren't bruises, tinged an ugly yellow, lining my body. She was hardly aware of my brother's, for that matter. She just knew I had some of them.
She didn't know about Pony. Gloomy, absent Ponyboy who you would never know was there if he didn't come to the table for dinner. He sat up in that damn room of his, all day, all night. Sure, he came home with decent grades, which was pretty much what kept Darry from beating the tar out of him, but he wasn't "there." He wasn't the dreamy Ponyboy I knew as a young girl.
Oh man, Darry. Ever since mom and dad died he'd been the worst of all. I missed him, too. He used to be sweet and decent, although a bit too hardened at times. But he used to care. He didn't anymore. He beat me half to death over the slightest offense. Come to think of it, if Soda wasn't around, he'd probably have killed me by now. The only time he occasionally stopped was if Sodapop walked into the room and objected. Of course, that only worked if he wasn't too drunk to be reasoned with.
Soda…. He was the only one who's personality hadn't shifted in response to our parent's deaths. He was still the cheery, life-savoring Soda I'd known and loved throughout my entire childhood. I was glad he was around. I was glad he hadn't changed. If he had…I could only shudder at the thought of how much worse off I'd be.
"Hello, goddamn it, Becca, you listening to me?" Nancy snapped, waving her hand furiously an inch from my face.
To assure her I had kept my ears perked, I wrinkled my nose slightly and nodded.
"Yeah, yeah, Nancy, I was listening to you. But you know I can't come over." I shivered delicately as the rest of my sentence came flowing off my tongue. "Darry'll skin me alive if I don't come home. You know that."
Nancy groaned disappointedly and shook her head, allowing her strawberry blonde hair to come rushing into her eyes.
"You don't do nothing anymore, Becca." She hesitated. "You don't go out, you don't come over. All you're allowed to do is study on weekdays and walk around in the sunlight on weekends. What's Darry's problem?"
If only I could tell…I thought warily.
"Nothing," I said snippily. "He's just overprotective, that's all. Don't complain. If we all got split up I'd probably never see you again," I reminded her.
Nancy nodded her frizzy head, realizing there was truth in my words.
"All right," she agreed, glancing at the sky. The sunset was beginning to vanish from the clouds, so I knew that meant I had to get home. "Just talk to Darry, all right? Try to get yourself a little more freedom. I'll talk to ya'll tomorrow."
I smirked bitterly and stood up as Nancy did. We'd been hanging in the vacant lot during the day. It had become our hang out over the past few months. It used to be Johnny and Pony's spot, the place they claimed "their own", but they hadn't been talking much lately. The only time Johnny came over was if his parent's quarreled, which was often. And even then Pony didn't speak to him much.
"Want me to walk you home?" Nancy offered. "Ya know the Soc's have been jumping us Greaser's much more often."
"Nah," I said, declining politely. "The Soc's don't' jump me much, being a girl and all. There was only that once…" My voice slipped away dreamily. For a split second, I vaguely thought about the time I'd been jumped, about a month ago. The attack had gained me a few bruises and a cut or two, but it was a pretty mild beating.
"You sure?" Nancy insisted.
I nodded again, assuring her, and she gave me a quick half-hug before strolling off.
Almost hoping that I was jumped, I turned and walked in the opposite direction. My house was only down the block, but it still seemed to take a while to get there. The journey was long and bitter, probably because I always dreaded coming home.
Once I got to my house, Soda was sitting on the porch steps, looking anxious.
"Darn you, Rebecca, you're late," he scolded.
I shrugged and peered quickly at the sky.
"Only by a couple minutes or so."
"But you know how our brother is…," Soda reminded me, a nervous smile etched onto his face. "Just get on inside and hope Darry isn't in a sore mood."
So was that good? :P
Sorry, the beginning is always boring. Please review, and I'll post the next chapter ASAP, because I'm pretty sure I want to continue this. :]

PortCityDaily.com is your source for free news and information in the Wilmington area.
Wilmington police are searching for a man wanted in connection with a bank robbery and an attempted bank robbery reported minutes apart on Tuesday afternoon.
The suspect description in both incidents is the same–an approximately 6-foot white male in his late 20s who wore a dark shirt, hat and sunglasses–Wilmington Police Department Spokeswoman Cathryn Lindsay said.
The attempted robbery was reported at 2:15 p.m. at the Bank of America at 1929 Carolina Beach Road. It was unclear if any money was taken and it does not appear that a weapon was used, Lindsay said.
"He just came to the front window and said he wanted money," Lindsay said.
The second robbery was reported about 2 miles away at the First Citizens Bank at 2200 S. 17th St. at 2:34 p.m. The initial report about the First Citizens Bank incident did not mention a weapon, so police did not know if a weapon was used, Lindsay said. The man reportedly stole an unknown amount of money in the First Citizens' robbery.
There was no vehicle description given to police, but the man reportedly fled west on Medical Center Drive.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information about the man or his identity is asked to contact the police department at (910) 343-3600 or via Text-a-Tip at Tip708, then type your tip.

Snapdragon Alley HTML version
Sapphire and Alex
Sapphire was tall for her age, and strong. She was the terror of the
fifth grade dodge ball class, but the star of the volleyball team. She was
fearless, bold, and constantly in motion. At night she tossed and
turned in her sleep and often wound up on the floor along with her
blankets. Life for this girl was non-stop adventure, which is why her
friend Alex liked to be around her, even if she didn't know when to
stop, which could be a problem sometimes. You never knew what it
was going to be next, but it was going to be something, that was for
Alex was also ten, and it seemed like they'd known each other forever.
They made an odd couple - he was shorter, thinner, and had long
shaggy blond hair. From a distance he looked to be the girl and her the
boy, with her height and her jet black hair cut short and straight. He
was also quieter and by far the more cautious of the two. Alex liked to
study things first, puzzle them out, come to an understanding and then
mess around. With Sapphire it was jumping in with both feet first and
only then considering the consequences.
Together they'd progressed from sandbox to mud puddles, creek
walking and ice skating, tree climbing and skate boarding, and every
good thing along the way. Now at ten years old they were ready to
branch out, see the world, get out there and be life size, even if they
weren't quite yet.
"Now's the time", Sapphire declared, and Alex agreed. They'd already
decided on code names. She was to be known as Cipher, and he was to
be Aleph. It was perfect. Code names first and then disguises and
masks. Or maybe not. Cipher was still deciding about that. As for
Aleph, he was poring over his collection of official city bus maps, one
from each of the past nine years. He had the idea that if you're out to
discover the world, a bus map is a decent place to begin.

Most of you who use Facebook have seen this:
The rules: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen albums you've heard that will always stick with you. List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes. Tag fifteen friends, including me, because I'm interested in seeing what albums my friends choose. Quickly, and in no particular order.
Or something like that. It's a time honored tradition to slyly gloat about one's musical influences over the internet. One glance at any douchebag's profile will reveal the human's deep seated need to reveal the breadth, diversity, and sophistication of one's media intake.
This particular meme has caught on quickly in my circle of friends, and yours too, I suspect (since your reading this puts you in my circle). Rather than respond with my own vainglorious summary of my exquiseclectic tastes, I gathered up lists posted by 40 random strangers and made a word cloud:
I like it. It's not a list or anything, but I think I see where everybody's coming from: Beatles, Michael, Radiohead, Paul (McCartney and Simon), even Various Artists for all those soundtracks. Not too many albums stand out on their own, except maybe the White Album, which I can agree with, and Love, which is all you need.
Add your own list to the comments so that people will know how much you know about Arcade Fire and 80's hip-hop. Also acceptable: 15 reasons why chain-lists are asinine and yet they feel so so good.

BeschreibungIn her novel NORTHANGER ABBEY, Jane Austen mentions several Gothic novels by name. By the time the book saw print, these lesser works were already deservedly obscure (as, indeed, almost all disposable popular fiction soon becomes). For years they were assumed to be not simply fiction, but figments from a novel; but enterprising scholars managed to unearth copies of the original "shilling shockers." Eliza Parsons was a prolific and popluar writer at the end of the eighteenth century. Her works are generally forgotten, now, but two of them -- including THE CASTLE OF WOLFENBACH -- were immortalized in that list of seven "Horrid Novels" Jane Austen slipped into NORTHANGER ABBEY.

Instead he responded to a vocation to the priesthood and trained at Westcott House in Cambridge. He was ordained in 1938 and was a curate at Melksham in Wiltshire when his parochial work was interrupted by the Second World War; he served as a chaplain in the RAFVR from 1941 to 1946. He returned to parish work as Vicar of Ovenden in Halifax. In 1952 he moved to be Vicar of the large parish of Allerton in Liverpool. This was to be the longest appointment of his 43 years of full-time ministry.
A senior colleague with very wide knowledge of the Church of England considered that with Martineau at the helm Allerton was the best- organised parish he had ever met. It was a prosperous church with no great difficulty in paying its way. Its vicar, who in his RAFVR service had seen the needs of missionary work in Africa and now saw the plight of neighbouring inner-city parishes, successfully challenged the congre- gation with the teaching of Christian stewardship. Giving was doubled and the increased income given to the needy at home and abroad.
Not surprisingly Martineau became Rural Dean, was made an Honorary Canon of Liverpool Cathedral and elected by his fellow clergy to represent them on the General Synod of the Church of England. After 14 years at Allerton he was chosen to be the Suffragan Bishop of Huntingdon in the Diocese of Ely, where he also served as a Residentiary Canon of the Cathedral.
In 1972 he became Bishop of Blackburn. He was proud to be the only bishop who had in his younger days been a Lay Reader. This experience enabled him to be an excellent Chairman of the Central Readers' Board of the Church of England and to publish The Office and Work of a Reader (1970).
Blackburn with its many Church of England schools fostered Martineau's already great interest in education and led to his appointment as Chairman of the Church of England Board of Education, a post he held from 1973 to 1979.
His nine years as a diocesan bishop were the pinnacle of his working life. He had a very natural sense of authority and those who did not know him well were inclined to think of him as somewhat cold by nature. Nothing could be farther from the truth. There was, perhaps, a shyness but, as one colleague put it, "There [was] a very warm and loving person inside trying to get out." He had a quiet and subtle sense of humour accompanied by a knowing twinkle of the eye.
As a bishop he gave first-class pastoral care and wise counsel to his clergy. That is work deeply appreciated by those who were helped by it but by its very nature it never hits the headlines. Blackburn clergy soon came to appreciate their bishop's parish experience. Here, for example, was a man who had prepared many people for marriage, who could pass on invaluable tips about confirmation preparation and the aftercare of candidates, who could understand the stresses of their life at "the coal face" and who also knew when they were "trying it on". From personal experience there came books like The Office and Work of a Priest (1972) and Moments that Matter (1976).
Not every priest with such an outstanding intellect can understand "Mrs Stiggins who sits in the third pew from the back". Martineau did understand and when he produced his Lent Book, for the people of his diocese, with daily readings, prayers and resolutions, it was a model of simplicity combined with an acute penetration of the human soul. His time management enabled him to combine demanding national and diocesan duties with a readiness to be available to those who needed to talk to him.
Retirement often focuses the mind on what has been, and is, important. In his last address to the Diocesan Synod he put his finger on what he had come to see as of prime importance in society. Christian marriage and Christian family life were the foundations on which good citizens and a caring society were built. This, in his own life, came from a deep and faithful life of prayer and very much from his own marriage and family which were so dear to him.
Laying down full-time work for any priest tends to be a change of gear rather than a full stop. His ministry continued in North Wales after retirement and was much appreciated there. Why North Wales? A twinkle of the eye and "Right for my wife because she is Welsh and right for me because I can easily get to Anfield to watch Liverpool."

text: It doesn't get much more picture-postcard NYC Christmas than the sight of the stately Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, towering above the ice rink below, all decked out in its finest holiday bling. Things get festive when thousands of revelers fill the area for the lighting of this year's Norway spruce. A star-studded lineup, usually hosted by NBC Today show anchors, provides plenty of live entertainment. The crowning moment comes when the switch is flipped and the Swarovski star–topped tree's tens of thousands of (energy-efficient LED) lights come alive. Expect plenty of "oohs" and "ahs" from the crowd. If you can't make it to the big event, worry not—you can see the tree (and snap plenty of photos of it) through early January.

Sugarrot hearts cracking beneath the weight of their own
Toxicity, glistening diamonds of ill intent; your
Snow-White witch's poisoned apple taints the
Eve of Eden innocence, so young, so golden,
So drowning in sin.
The silver flaked away and the treasure was black-paint
Plastic, raise an idol to the saints of the mirror; the right-to-life
Bitches with gory signs, the god-hates gang with filthy mouths,
All diseased with self-righteous, control-freak visions of a
Fantasy man
With a fairy-tale book.
Your venomous tongues spit out lies that you've chanted
Since childhood; stop playing the victim when you're the

Icarus and I
I'm really a sucker for love. So it's about love. Night is used quite a lot to represent the time of lovers and the sun is all about ending it. It's about Icarus flying to escape the prison on wings and the poet persona flying on his love for a girl not quite mentioned in the poem. It also shows the similarity between the effects freedom and love. Oh,It's a sonnet.
I flew with Icarus through velvet skies
He on waxen wings and I on my love
We left clouds below to the stars above
We flew high, he for freedom, I for kind
The higher we flew, 'twas the more we sighed
With relief, joy. Our ears pounding with blood
O blessed bliss, overflowed like a mighty flood
So close to heavens where stars filled our eyes
Now, the yawning sun peeks through the blanket
The deep dark blanket of mine amouréd dusk
O wherefore is it that it unsleeps so
So soon, its rays pierce our wings!-- a lancet
Our wings come undone, my heart chills like frost
We're falling, screaming, to death down below.

"We are encouraged by these findings, as they provide us with more information on tiotropium's potential across new subsets of asthma patients."About UniTinA-Asthma ™ The PrimoTinA-asthma™ studies are a part of the comprehensive Phase III trial program UniTinA-asthma™ which includes a number of clinical trials in adults, adolescents and pediatric patients across different asthma severities who remain symptomatic/uncontrolled on current treatment with inhaled corticosteroids. The program includes over 4,000 patients in more than 150 sites globally. About Asthma Asthma is a chronic disease characterised by airway inflammation and bronchoconstriction. When a person with asthma comes into contact with an asthma trigger (e.g. infections, pollen, smoke), their airways can become inflamed, swollen and constricted and excess mucus is produced. These reactions can cause the airways to become narrower and irritated, making it difficult to breathe. People suffering from asthma experience recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and coughing. As of May 2011, an estimated 235 million people worldwide suffer from asthma. Estimates have shown that the number of people with asthma could grow by an additional 100 million people worldwide by 2025. By avoiding asthma triggers, one can help to reduce the severity of asthma. Although asthma cannot be cured, appropriate management can control the disease in many patients. However, many patients still suffer from uncontrolled asthma despite the available treatment options. They can continue to have symptoms and lifestyle restrictions and might even require emergency care. Leading respiratory forward

"Do people with flat chests have this sort of problem, or is it only women with large breasts?" I might have said casually to Jefferson, had I been a) drunk or b) mad. Happily, I was neither, so I merely formed the thought in my head. And not for the first time.
Olivia Palermo doesn't have large breasts, and probably never spills stuff down her front, because she is the cleanest person I have ever seen. As my mother would say, "You could eat your dinner off her." Palermo is one of those girls who seem to exist solely to have their photo taken, as though she lived in a parallel universe where you don't have to buy groceries, use the cashpoint or go to the doctor for a Marvelon prescription. She also works a white shirt better than anyone I have ever seen, including Keir Gilchrist, my first crush, when I was five.
I'm obsessed with white shirts - not blouses, mind, but proper shirts, as basic as the ones you wore at school - in the way that only someone who doesn't suit them can be, with a longing that has deepened with time.
If June was all about white dresses, then July and August (and probably even September, though let's not get too far ahead of ourselves) are the white shirt months. Or the blue shirt months. Actually, any shirt will do. But it has to be a shirt. Not a blouse. At Paris couture week, the shirts were out in force. Nobody gives quite as good shirt as a French woman, a mysterious fact for which there is no discernible explanation. Led by former Vogue Paris editor Carine Roitfeld, and flanked by her successor Emmanuelle Alt (no longer together in work; still together in style), the French proved just how versatile a shirt can be. Pencil skirt? A no-brainer. Worn slightly bouffed-over with a knee- or calf-length pleated skirt? Very chic.
Tucked into skinny jeans? Lovely, provided you haven't eaten a carb for six months. One of my favourite looks of the season is a white shirt, sleeves rolled up, worn tucked into a long and slightly onion-shaped maxi-skirt: very Jil Sander, and a look favoured, on the red carpet, by such acting luminaries as Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton.
I could recommend the perfect shirt here, but it would be pointless, as they are the least "one size fits all" garment on the planet, apart from bras. Equipment, Whistles and Gap are good starting points. As for how many buttons to undo ... well, that brings us back to breast size. My own theory: number of buttons plus length of shirt minus number of times last year you spilt anything down your front might not be foolproof, but it's a handy guide. As, too, are all pics of Sofia Coppola.

Spencer County home gardeners will soon be busy with the rush of spring planting activities. Early spring is also when primary infections occur in many fruits crops. So, late winter is the ideal time for home fruit growers to get a jump on disease management.
A reader has asked the question in response to my last article about Tiger Woods, "If Tiger Woods is a Buddhist, then why does he have to ask God to forgive him?" It's a good question; a curious one too. After all there are large differences between the two religions. Buddhism sees God mostly as an illusion while Christianity teaches that God is the creator of the universe and present in our everyday lives.
