UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. – Not even an unusually cold March day could cool off the red hot University of Richmond men's tennis team.
The Spiders dropped a tough Binghamton squad, 5-2, to pick up their ninth straight victory and improve their season-record to 10-2, extending the best start in school history even further.
"Our guys continue to do a great job of making their hard work pay off," Head Coach Ben Johnson said. "Caleb did a good job stepping into the second slot in our lineup behind Jacob who did what he's always done. John kept his strong play going and secured the tough win."
For the ninth straight match, the Spiders jumped out to a lead thanks to strong doubles play.
Seniors Jacob Dunbar and Alexandre Felisa, ranked 49th in the country, extended their winning streak with a 6-1 win at the top spot, while Caleb Troy and Jonathan Quenard locked up the doubles point with a 6-1 win over their own at the #2 spot in the doubles lineup.
Dunbar kept things going for the Spiders with a 6-1, 6-1 win at the #1 singles spot, followed by Troy who picked up a 6-1, 6-3 win in the #2 singles spot.
Binghamton would get a point back, but redshirt freshman John Karlawish defeated BU's Thomas Caputo, 6-1, 6-4 to secure the match win.
James Aronson won yet again in singles action, taking home a hard-fought 6-3, 1-6, 6-4 win to wrap up the scoring for the Spiders.
Richmond will head to Charleston, S.C. for its spring break trip, which includes showdowns with College of Charleston and two matches against The Citadel.

Hair growth following FUE surgery
NeoGraft Process Guide from Extraction to Recovery
FUE is an acronym for follicular unit extraction, meaning that individual follicles of hair are removed from the donor site to be transplanted in the areas of thinning hair. NeoGraft technology uses pneumatic pressure to extract individual hair follicles, protecting the delicate transplants, which yields a better total result. Strip surgery and other methods require more manual manipulation of the follicles which can damage them, impacting the final result.
The donor hair is removed from the back and sides of the scalp. Each graft is extracted with a needle and vacuum for fast collection. Each graft is collected with the same diameter and length, allowing for better transplantation and improved rate of taking. The extracted follicular units are skillfully separated by size.
The surgeon skillfully creates the recipient sites with the appropriate angle and orientation of your natural hair growth pattern and the desired area to be filled. Then, the extracted follicular units are individually transplanted into the balding areas. The process usually takes 3-8 hours, depending on the extent of hair loss. At most, patients typically feel a little discomfort as local anesthesia is utilized for comfort.
The healing process for FUE hair transplant is relatively fast. You should expect to have swelling and discomfort for the first few days but the pain will gradually subside over the following weeks. The pain is not extreme, but the donor and transplant sites will be sore. There will likely be scabbing at both sites, which should flake off in within 1-2 weeks. The extent of discomfort will partially depend on the amount of hair to be extracted and then transplanted. The more hair that is transplanted, the more discomfort you will likely feel. However, this discomfort is very mild

There's a verb in Giantsville describing a pitcher who has an excellent game and walks away without a win.
It's called Cain. Or the act of getting Cained.
Nobody has been Cained more than Matt Cain in recent years, the victim of lousy run support year after
Well, things are changing.
He gave up four runs in each of his past two starts and won them both. The latest was Tuesday in
Milwaukee, where the Giants won 6-4 even though Cain surrendered 11 hits, matching a career high. Seven of
the hits went for extra bases.
"Hey, that's fine with me," Cain said. "Let's keep it going. I'm not happy giving up some of the runs I
gave up, but we've got to win those games. I'm happy for all of us."
The Giants got outhit 11-5, but what did that matter? It helped that the Brewers were 2-for-13 with
runners in scoring position.

Bass GuitarsRead More
Brought to commercial success and popularity in the 1950s by Leo Fender, the bass guitar replaced the double bass as the tonal foundation of almost all pop music. Then in the 60s players like James Jamerson of Motown's houseband The Funk Brothers brought the bass guitar to the very forefront of popular music using the bass guitar melodically to drive the groove forward. Ever since the bass guitar has been taken to the level of artform albeit not so in the limelight as the electric 6 string guitar.
A huge part of being a bassist is achieving great tone and we're here to help you achieve that. Your tone starts with the bass guitar itself (before you even get to Amps, Effects and so on). Leo Fender's original Fender Precision Bass and later Fender Jazz Bass remain two of the most popular models on the market for classic and vintage tones. But for rock and metal tones Fender have lost ground to a huge range of awesome and often very affordable alternatives from the likes of Ibanez.
Here at Andertons we have Bass Guitars from beginner's basses to top brand pro models. We stock Fender, Music Man, Gibson, Epiphone, Ibanez, Squier and more

Parking at the Mecklenburg County Courthouse
A Courthouse located in the heart of a bigger city always poses parking problems. The Mecklenburg County Courthouse is located among several one way streets which can be difficult to navigate if you are unfamiliar with the area. Ask your Charlotte divorce lawyer if you have any questions.
The Mecklenburg County Courthouse recommends the 4th Street Parking Deck or metered parking on 3rd Street. The 4th Street Parking Deck can be quite busy and the 3rd Street meters only allow you to park for a maximum of 2 hours—and there are rarely any available spots.
Lots of Courthouse visitors, however, prefer the parking garage located at 232 South Davidson. Though this is located about 2 blocks away from the Courthouse, there are usually plenty of spots if you don't mind a quick walk.
- Assuming you take I-277, getting off at the 4th Street Exit, you will actually drive past the Courthouse for about 2 blocks and turn left on South Davidson
- Less than ½ block on the right, you will see the entrance to the parking garage
- When you pull up to the gate, a ticket will pop out—you will need this when you leave the parking garage so don't lose it!
- After you find your spot, walk out of the garage and across the street using the crosswalk
- You will turn left out of the parking garage and head back towards 4th Street
- At 4th Street, you will turn right, and proceed down 4th Street for about 2 blocks until you reach the Mecklenburg County Courthouse, which will be located on the right hand side of the street
- Fees: $1.00 per half hour—maximum cost of $12.00 per day
Your Charlotte divorce lawyer may have additional parking information and, as always, they are always happy to answer any questions.

How to Make Yeast Bread from ScratchPin It
So I ruled out Grannie and Kjerstin's rolls for daily bread making because of the butter and the eggs. I needed something that didn't take attention. I also needed something I could throw in the fridge and pull out when needed. I basically followed Amy's recipe, in half, with some sugar to give the yeast something to "feed" on and make the rolls even yeastier. (Is that a word?)
So anyway...here goes...it is so easy you'll cry..in joy...
The Classic Yeast Bread Measurements:Remember: 6-3-3-13 or in half 3 - 1.5 - 1.5 - 1.5 - 6.5
Get a big bowl and put in 3 cups of quite warm water. I think of it as warm enough to get the yeast working, but not burn them. I'm not sure if that is scientifically accurate...but it works!
Add 1.5 Tablespoons of kosher salt. Do you have kosher salt? You should. It is not that much more expensive than the garden variety salt. In fact, the box is so big, the price might be equal. Anyway, it is cut into these bigger chunks and the burst of flavor on food is amazing. Your food tastes more like your food, less like salt. It's yummy. It's in a navy blue box on the bottom shelf usually.
Add 1.5 Tablespoons of yeast.
If you are buying yeast in the little packets, please stop. You can buy yeast in a big bag for about $4. I think it might be worth a Costco membership just for the saving on a bulk bag of yeast if you are going to be making your own bread. The bag looks like this:
So to review...3 cups warm water (don't burn the yeasties!), 1.5 T salt and 1.5 T yeast. Are you with me? Now sprinkle in a little sugar to give the yeast a treat! Your rolls won't taste sweet, but they will be loftier and taste "yeastier" (still not sure if that is a word??)
Now, give it a little stir and go do something else for 10 minutes. For me, I usually put the coffee on and empty/fill the dishwasher. That is usually enough time to activate the yeast.
THEN...add flour. 6.5 cups of it.
Big white fluffy flour works. As does whole wheat. Beware though; your husband might notice and refuse to eat them because they taste too "healthy", so be stealthy and add something like this is small quantities.
By the way, I made that photo of the flour a heaping cup on purpose. You should follow the exact instructions to start, but eventually you get a feel for how much flour goes in, so you can wing it a little. I usually add 6 heaping cups and forget the .5 at the end. the little things, right?
After you add the flour (carefully so you don't have flour everywhere), use a big wooden spoon and FOLD the flour into the dough. You don't want to work it too much...just incorporate the flour into the wet ingredients. Once it is fairly well mixed, dust your hands in flour and finish molding a big mound of dough. PS...this is totally the best part. Molding warm, yeasty smelling dough by hand is like playdough for adults...so comforting...Sometimes I make bread just for this part. Don't mix too much! It will look like this!
Leave it alone in a warm spot (kitchen counter) for 2-3 hours until is rises. Remold it and then either shape it to bake or throw it in the fridge for up to 3 days to use later. This post is getting mad long, so I am stopping here, but will post the shaping part later if you are a visual type. Basically though, flour your hands and roll the dough loosely into the shape you want. I use a pizza stone dusted with cornmeal for bread and a glass pan for biscuits. Once you get the hang of the basic dough, you can make a million different variations. Well, perhaps not a million, but you get the point. Add honey instead of sugar. Throw in fresh dill from the garden. Brush the top with egg if you want. Dust it with cinnamon sugar. Make cinnamon rolls. The list goes on and on. Have fun! Enjoy!
For those who want the simple recipe:
6 cups warm water
3 T yeast
3 T salt
Mix and let sit for 10 minutes.
Add 13 cups flour.
Mix and let rise 2-3 hours.
Deflate dough with wooden spoon.
Shape dough into biscuits of a loaf. USE EXTRA flour on your hands to avoid sticking and make sure you spray the pan before adding the dough. Flouring the pan as well helps to keep the rolls from sticking.
|Shaped Biscuits - Use lots of flour on your hands!

State school pupils can not be expected to get into top universities, says the chief executive of the Independent Schools Council.
Chris Parry, speaking days ahead of his first address to the annual conference of the ISC, believes state schools are full of uncontrollable children and staff who do not want to be there.
When asked if he thought some of the children were unteachable he replied: "Yeah, I think there are contexts within which some children can't be controlled.
Some state school pupils are unteachable, says chief of the Independent Schools Council
"You've got this situation in state schools where vast numbers of very good teachers are working with variable quality pupils and variable social context as well.
"How can you expect to get an Oxford graduate out of that group when they are being bullied, they are being influenced ... by a group from perhaps a disadvantaged background who have got a different agenda?"
Mr Parry, whose organisation represents half of the 2,600 private schools in the UK, was speaking in the Guardian today (Saturday May 31).
He said there was a lack of leadership in the state system and while there were a lot of good teachers not enough in each school.
"There are too many leaders but not enough leadership," he explained. "There are a lot of managers and but not enough management.
"There aren't enough teachers, and aren't enough teachers in subjects we need. It's lacking human, material financial resources."
The former rear admiral also talked about being "shocked by the level of ignorance and criticism that came from the parents" when he sat in on a parents' evening.
He thought children might do better at a private school but would regress if they went back to the "anarchy and chaos" of a troubled home.
State schools were "fighting a losing battle", he said, when the "middle class bourgeois elements" were taken out and sent to private school leaving a "disadvantaged, deprived underprivileged critical mass".
The ISC chief will tell the conference next week private schools need to be more up to date and prepared for a time when teachers will be increasingly replaced by computers.
He envisages pupils will learn facts via Wikipedia-type programmes in class and teachers will help apply them.
Although, this message is likely to be overshadowed by his remarks on comprehensive schools.
John Banks, head of education at the National Union of Teachers, said of Mr Parry's words: "It's that kind of ill-informed, snobbish idea of state schools which opens up the divide between the sectors that I don't think most private school heads would support."
A spokeswoman for the Department for Children, Schools and Families said: " a deeply misguided picture, frankly insulting to the hard-working and talented teachers and pupils in the state sector."
Mr Parry is a controversial figure who rose through Naval ranks to become the head of a strategy unit at the Ministry of Defence which forecast future threats.
In 2006 he talked at a seminar about the dangers of migration, suggesting there was a danger of "reverse colonisation" where indigenous populations would become a minority.

Hot air balloon crashes high school football game in Marietta
MARIETTA, Ga. - People are talking about an emergency landing on a high school football field this weekend.
A Channel 2 Action News viewer emailed us video of a hot air balloon coming down near the field goal at Lassiter High School in Marietta.
Parents and kids there for a youth football game were in disbelief.
It was a bumpy landing and people ran to help, but luckily there were no injuries.

Redskins use Robert Griffin III picture on Week 1 ticket
Some Washington Redskins fans will see a lot of Robert Griffin III in Week 1.
Not on the field of course. Nah, Griffin's unceremonious benching looks like it's going to stick.
However, Washington's general dysfunction means the team made quite the faux pas when printing tickets for its Week 1 game against the Dolphins.
Emblazoned across the ticket? None other than Griffin.

Cal: You alright?
I watch her sit next to Imi, they whisper to each other, but Mary's posture makes me unable to listen in. I catch Liam's eye and give him a questionning look, What're they on about?
Beats me, Imi won't tell me, He repiles.
The girls turn away from each other, Mary looks... put out.
Mary, are you alright? I try to ask, but swhe puts up her mind block. Stopping me from being able to read her.
Liam looks worried at Imi, What's happening? He asks.
I-I don't know.
Mary sighs, "I'm going to look outside, see if anything's happening."
"Ok, want me to come?" I ask.
"No, thank you." She says shortly, walking out of the room.
Imi looks uncomfortable for a second, and follows her out of the room. Liam and I are left clueless in a room full of people.

A new blog is a bit like a brand new house. It's so clean, so pristine, and so ripe with potential to be turned into a home! A house is only a house until you make it your home, and I welcome you to mine.
I invite you to start by checking out the About Page, which I believe will give a lot of insight into why it was time for this blog to come into being and what you can look forward to finding here. (Gives you a moment to go read it…. done?)
This blog is both a product of and a part of the Journey that has lead me to this place. It can be uncomfortable as we struggle with the internal push-pull of wanting to express ourselves freely. We can feel torn by societies mixed messages which tend to beg us to tell all simply so we can become the expense of another's jokes. Yet we all have that need, to be known for who we really are, and to be able to safely share that self. It can be scary, it can be painful, it can be downright petrifying, yet indeed when done in a safe environment it can be the thing that gives us our wings!
I have been watching others for a while, particularly those in leadership and business. They often talk of authenticity and yet wear two personalities even unintentionally! With others, particularly in business, we find the old standards to "keep it professionally" still very alive and well. Yet we also know that "professional" isn't always what drives us to do business with another. Often times we gravitate towards those who have been willing to show themselves as human. Real, sometimes raw, sometimes ragged, sometimes rough edged and unrefined, human beings. We gravitate towards those that show us that our own self, which to us feels flawed, is in no way less than many of the most seemingly successful people! Oh how we crave to know we are not alone!
Whether it is our sexuality, our spirituality or our inner fears, each of us have deep within us aspects of our True Selves in need of expression. Each of us desires to know that the secrets we keep are also the secrets others keep. We want to know that we are not the only one afraid of having to live forever behind a mask designed to appease others!
I've reached a point in life where I've grown exceptionally weary of the game of wearing masks to appease others. I simply have run out of any tolerance what many try to tell me is a need to continue this behavior. Dress-up is a game for children and I'm ready to actually be ME for a change!
I know this won't be a blog for everyone. I know that not everyone will be drawn to what I'm doing here … and that's alright! The people that need to be here will find this place and the rest will blow away like leaves in the wind. Together people can share their Journey's and connect with others and know that they are not alone.
Thank you for joining me on this wonderful Journey! I hope you will share your own stories here. I hope if you feel drawn to this place that you'll also share it with others. I look forward to getting to know and share with each of you!

Their foreheads were touching, lips only millimeters apart. "Batter..." Zacharie whispered, rubbing in circles on the other male's neck. "Don't blame yourself, okay?" Batter only nodded slightly. The merchant hesitated before he brought his lips to his. This surprised Batter, his eyes widening just a bit. He soon relaxed, laying his hands on Zach's hips and pushed against him lightly.

Manas Petroleum Corp. (MNAP.OB) Reports That Its First-Year Mongolian Work Program Completed Early
Manas Petroleum Corp. is an international oil exploration and development company. The company's principal strategy is to acquire and farm-out key land positions in major oil basins which have large seismically defined prospects near significant oil or gas production. Manas' portfolio of properties now totals more than 5 million acres in 5 countries.
The company announced today that DWM Petroleum, its 100%-owned subsidiary, has completed its year-1 program on blocks 13 and 14 in Mongolia ahead of schedule. The work was originally expected to be completed on April 21, 2010. Manas Petroleum owns a 74% interest in blocks 13 and 14, which cover an aggregate of almost five million acres of land located on Mongolia's southern border.
The technical work was performed by Manas Gobi and entailed the collection and processing of:
• Geological data from previous exploration campaigns
• Geological mapping
• Geological structural sections
• Paleontolic stratigraphical work and gravimetry
The resulting technical data were merged into a data base which was then queried to identify geologically interesting structures. The results produced definitive and interesting anomalies that the company plans to further analyze through acquired seismic studies.
The Mongolian government is satisfied with the technical performed so far and has released, as of December 1, 2009, DWM's $2 million dollar bank guarantee. A portion of this money will be used for ongoing operational purposes with the remainder to be used to repay a debt obligation linked to the original bank guarantee.

Deputies shoot, kill home invasion suspect
PAULDING COUNTY, Ga. - Paulding County deputies shot and killed a home invasion suspect who shot at one of them, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
Deputies spotted a driver believed to be involved in a home invasion and followed the car to Echo Ridge Drive in Powder Springs, the GBI said. It happened early Saturday.
When deputies approached the man, he ran into a wooded area, GBI spokeswoman Sherry Lang said. She said deputies used a Tazer on the suspect, but it didn't subdue him. Then, he took a gun from an officer and shot it, but missed, Lang said.
Another deputy shot the man, and the suspect died, Lang said.
The suspect has been identified as 24-year-old Corey Thomas.

The new Sky-Watcher EXPLORER-200PDS Newtonian Reflector incorporates the same superb mirror-set as the Explorer-200P Black Diamond Series, but with two significant advantages. A Dual-Speed 10:1 ratio focuser is now included for excellent focusing precision. Also the tube length has been slightly shortened to optimise performance for prime-focus photography.
Even better performance for astro-photography and visual use can be achieved when used in combination with Sky-Watcher's Newtonian coma corrector.
*Note: the Explorer-200PDS has a larger 58mm secondary mirror, for enhanced field illumination, compared to the Explorer-200P which has a 52mm secondary.

By Heather Todd Staff Writer Despite some traffic jams and torn-up parking lots from construction work, the first day of school for thousands of Comal Independent School District students seemed to go oft'w ithout a hitch Monday. About 10,670 students were expected to go back to class in schools throughout the district and most administrators reported no major problems, except for a few teary-eyed parents of little ones. At Comal Elementary School, parents had to park across the street from the campus on Farm-to-Market 482 because of on going construction work on the parking lots. Mike McFalls, principal of Comal Elementary, an early childhood through fourth-grade campus, said the new parking lot should be completed in a few days.

C1SI) taxpayers are invited to voice their opinions about a proposed $ 1.85 per $100 valuation tax rate during a public hearing I p.m. T hursday at Canyon Middle School, 2014 Farm-to-Market I IOU The proposed 2000-2001 tax rate is lower than the current $1.88 per $100 valuation tax rate. Abel Campos, business manager for t'ISD, said higher property values allowed the district to lower the tax rate while bringing in the same amount of revenue. He also said the state is giving Comal ISD another $200,000. "Because of the surplus, the state is giving out more money and it is supposed to be used to lower the tax rate on the debt service side," he said. But, some residents still might pay higher taxes next year depending on the appraised values of their property. In early May, about 39,000 property owners in the C omal Appraisal District received notices that the appraised values of their properties had been increased. "It all depends on an individual^ situation mid whether the value on their property See COMAL ISD/5A Sophienburg wins lease By Jo Lee Ferguson Staff Writer The Sophienburg Museum and Archives won a long-term lease of the unused Dittlinger Memorial Library at a bargain price Monday. The New Braunfels City Council unanimously voted to grant the Sophienburg Museum a 50-year lease of the library building with a 50-year renewal option for $1 a month. But the council included an option in the agreement that it has the right to ask for an audit every five years to determine if the museum is fulfilling its mission to preserve local history with the building. If not, the lease could be voided. "We have so many things we want to do, but we're very limited with our space," said Anna Lee Hicks, president of the museum s board of directors. The museum originally had asked the city consider a property trade. The museum planned to borrow money and buy the Float Inn property next door to the city's tube chute at Prince Solms Park. The museum would then trade that property to the city for the unused library building, which has been vacant and for sale for more than a year following the opening of the city's new library. TTie former library is next door to the museum. If the city' didn't want to trade the two properties, the museum offered to buy the library for $325,(HK). The Schlitterbahn Waterpark Resort is now buying the Float Inn property. And museum representatives surprised the council Tuesday by withdrawing its ofter to purchase the building and instead requesting a long-term lease at a "nominal" fee. Attorney John Dierksen said the Sophienburg's members indicated they preferred to get the building at a nominal fee and then use the organization's capital to improve the facility. The former library will be used for storage on a short-term basis, and then it w ill be used to expand the museum's exhibits and offer more speakers and programs from children, Hicks said. While the vote to award the lease was unanimous, some council members expressed misgivings about the arranged deal. Councilwoman Juliet Watson led a failed eft'ort to delay Monday's vote. She said she wants the Sophienburg to have the library' building. "I've always felt that way, but I liked the offer last time better," she said. Councilman Robert Kendrick also expressed concerns about long-term leases previous councils awarded. "I'm not sure (the proposal) makes good sense from a business standpoint," he said. "From an emotional standpoint, it's a little different" But Councilman Larry Alexander said he is "proud" to agree to the lease for future generations of New Braunfels residents. Also on Monday tile city council officially set an election for Nov. 7 to detemiine the future of die two types of sales tax the city collects — the 4B tax for streets and drainage and other improvement projects and the 4A tax for economic development. The election includes two propositions. The first asks residents to allow the 4B money to be used to build and maintain amateur and youth sports facilities. The second proposition asks residents to abolish the 4A tax and rededicate that one-eighth of I percent tax to the 4B fund. The same proposition includes a provision to eliminate the caps on expenditures in the pool of money from the 4B sales tax. lf approved, there would be no limits placed on the amount of money spent on streets and drainage projects or any other legal project for the 4B sales tax. The second proposition also asks residents to allow the 4B tax to be used for everything the law allows, including economic development and affordable housing. filii H pa New Braunfels Police Department Sergeant John Wommack and Manuel Guajardo survey the damage to an 18-wheeler that rolled over Monday morning at IH 35, just south of Rueckle Road.

Day 9
... disgusting. I disinfected mine, but it still grossed me out. After we looked at all the fish up close, we had the opportunity to jump off the boat! I got some cool videos of that. I got sort of sunburnt, so a nice shower back at home base felt good after a busy day. Everyone got all dressed up, we ate dinner, then listened to a talk about how we can go further with GLA, 7 elements and the Dominican Republic. Lots of pictures were ...
Day 8
... to the end of the home base driveway to this little shack that says "hair and nail center." I stood in line to get my cornrows and nails done. My nails are literally so cool. They are blue with flowers on every nail, and it only cost me 1 American dollar! I can't believe how expensive things in the U.S. are now that I've been here for over a week. You can get water here for 10 pesos (20 American cents) and getting your hair and nails done is a 3 dollar ...
Day 7
... cement on the roadside in the hot sun and when we finished, we got to switch locations and go mix more cement! The cement was being used as flooring in people's houses. Apparently we charged 500 pesos which is pretty expensive for the Dominicans. Caña Dulce is an all Dominican community that was wealthy compared to the other places we've been. After lunch and some rest time, the whole group went on a tour of the neighborhood. There is ...

After lunch we went back for a quick change then off to the beach, for a bonus excursion.
Sucking up that part of the culture felt so lucky. The kids were such ...
Obedience might just be the point

Just a phone call secured a full hook-up site on a Saturday might. Easy friendly check in. Managers friendly, helpful and pleased with their park that they manage for Warsaw City. Nice level spot, good hookups, view of quiet lake with a welcome breeze. Beautiful, well marked trail with signs explaining wetlands. A good hwy 30 stop through Indiana. - USA16RVer

Stayed at Pike Lake on two separate occasions, this is a older city park campground in the process of up grades. We like it because its clean,
very quiet , play grounds, and beach close keeps the grand kids busy. Great city nature walking/bike trails one behind campground Sites are narrow , if you have slides on both sides you will be against your neighbor. some sites the sewer hook up will be under your unit. As previous post Dave the campground host is very helpful . - Steph and Jim

We stayed here a month, as it was close to some places we had to be while there. When you first get there, the park host (Dave) will show you your site, offer to help you set it up, and anything you need he will do what he can to make it easier on you. Each site has a firepit, and picnic table. We had a fantastic view of the lake out our back & side windows. The beach is only a minute walk away, boat ramp (we didn't use), is also right there. The park is very quiet, super clean, and alot of nice people stay there as a seasonal. The internet is ok depending on if any coaches are in the lots next to the office--which block the signal. The few short times that happened, I just walked over to the pavilian to use it. That was the only inconvenience I had while there. We chose to be in the open instead of shaded areas so our rv wouldn't get dirty from staying there for so long. There are different types of sites to choose from while there, depending on the openings of them.When you leave, the hosts will come say goodbye, and they really do make you feel at home. More campgrounds need hosts like this! We would definitely go back again! - happy2013camper

Staff in the office took very good care of us during check in and any questions we had as to places in the area to go. Lake was beautiful to wake up to in the morning! Fire ring needed cleaned out, we were unable to keep a fire going due to it being 3/4 full and wet. Wi-Fi was $6.95/night and worked very well for us. - dallas 66

Yes, the roads leading into it are narrow but we felt it was worth it. We only stayed 1 night but enjoyed it very much. The lake is beautiful, we found the full hookup site for coach with 2 slides ample. Met some great neighbors. We will go back if in the area. Negative is they don't offer a military discount. - Winchester

Very nice campground, especially if you stay near the lake; which has only water and electric sites. Dump station located by the showers. There are a lot of "permanent" trailers and it is a bit crowded by the full hook-up sites. The roads around the park are quite narrow and this might be a concern for larger RV's. The only real negative was that there are 3 pig farms in the area and if the wind is in the wrong direction one cannot stand to be in the outside air. It was nice when we got there and in the morning, but incredibly "stinky" in the evening. The attendant told me that doesn't happen much. - Rick Lechner

Would rate higher if sites were not grass and there was more gravel on the roads. We were there after the heavy rains of spring 2015. Management was very cooperative and the connecting lakes were great for fishing. They are small enough that skiing would be difficult, but Lake Wawasee is close by county roads.
Lake Wawasee has no private campgrounds so this works well for that. Good family campground. - mcguyvered

,We stayed here before during and after Labor Day weekend.
Grounds were in Great condition.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. There were lots of planned activities for young and older.
Our section was Open field without trees in sites but the area was surrounded by trees and crop field. Another section where sites were a bit smaller had plenty of shade.
Lots of extra activities, including a driving range, Mini-golf, swimming pond, fishing pond, play set for the little ones. Great place to camp and we will be back. Paid for 6 nights and got the 7th free and used PPA discount also. - Calibrateguy

This park has a lot of kid's stuff as you drive into the front gate. The sites that I could see were close together and not very attractive. That being said, what I couldn't see was the 10 acres of property to the rear. These sites were semi level grass, very wide and long, and very attractive. The perimeter of this area is made up of large trees, flowers and corn fields. It felt like we were sitting on a football field by ourselves. The staff is friendly and there aren't many rules; common sense only. Satellite, water pressure, wi-first were all good. We would stay here again.. - ctjt1234

This campground is amazing. The bathroom was the cleanest that I have ever seen. The lights were bright, the floor had colorful epoxy material through out the bathroom floor, Clean shower curtains. We had a long pull through site. We parked on a concrete slab. The slab had seen better days, but we were able to level just fine. The sites are large and spacious. They keep the grass cut and manicured. There are many permeant campers, but everyone of them were also immaculate. They have a lot to do from a well keep swimming pond, putt putt golf, driving range, 3 horseshoe set ups. The hosts were very pleasant to work with. We will remember this place if we are every back this way again. - Honeybear & Sugarbear

We stayed for over two weeks. The 2nd week was for a diesel maintenance session with a couple hundred other Class A coaches. This was our 3rd time at this campground. We were on the NW section which had full hookups. Gravel and grass sites, paved lanes. All back-ins. Picnic table on each site. Free wifi was ok depending on where you were located, no cable. Great water pressure. Sites are open to the sky. Close to grocery stores, restaurants and downtown Goshen. Monroe Street is one lane due to road construction but hopefully they'll be done with that by the county fair. We'll definitely be back next year. - Flippitti

Nice RV park on the fairgrounds property. All sites are back-in with full hookups. In the NW section (400's) the sites are long, level, gravel with grass between and a picnic table. Modern and very clean bathrooms and showers are located in several places. This is good for a rally event or a short term stay to sightsee in the area. - JoyceM

We stayed with about 230 other units for a Diesel Pusher session. We were near the horse paddock and could watch training for barrel races from the coach. The park is very clean and hookups worked well except a 'boil water' alert due to construction outside the park. Plenty of space to walk and other than the hourly trains it was very quiet and we would return for another rally. Some sites do have picnic tables but not where we were. - dalenoel

Let me start off by saying these were very nice people but nice did outweigh the trashy park this was. Grass was not mowed which led to so many bugs that we couldn't even sit outside. The hookups were hidden behind tall tall grass. The bathrooms were atrocious. Just think of the worst bathroom you've ever been in and double that. We paid for 2 nights but stayed 1 & went back home next day. I'm not sure how they can possibly call this "resort" camping. Lake of the Woods was across the street so with a LOT of money this place could be nice. Would never come back. - Tami Strz

Our kids and us camped here in a MH and 2 TT's. This is over 90% perm sites and most of what is on their website is not available. We booked FHU's and paid for them only to find all we had was EW and sewer service was available. There is a beach on a nice lake. Bathroom/showers were in a shed and was filthy. A toilet was missing, paper all over and garbage in the showers. No designated fire rings, so sites were a mess. Some tender loving care and this would be nice. - cfamrace49

My poor little finger lost a portion of itself in an incident with a rather sharp mandolin. I had mixed all the ingredients - 8 eggs, broccoli, spinach and Stilton, and had nearly finished slicing in the 3 onions when SLICH, the top of my finger comes off.
Now friends, what would you do??? Yeah, I just mixed it all up, bunged it into the pastry case and shoved it in the oven and then attended to my gushing finger.
Hey, whats a little meat in a vegetarian quiche right?
So its been in a big old dolly of a bandage for a few days now cos that cut HURTS BAD! It's not like that deep, guessing on the gauge of the mandolin that would be just 2 millimetres, but its so big an area and it keeps bleeding cos it cracks open and stings like I dunno what!
So I was going to update this thing for you and say thank you for the comments of you two ladies and Caroline sent me a lovely point by point (was gonna say blow by blow! HAHA) letter and it really helped so thank you.
I cant say that I feel like I am ready to hit the band land road again or get myself sorted again but I don't feel quite so low and distressed about it.
I think that I need to get myself an aftercare package. I mean that would seem a little bit of a *DOH* moment being nearly 4 years out of surgery, but I never had one. My fills have to be carefully planned as each one costs me £125. I just don't really have £500 spare in a month to get myself to some kind of level of restriction/sweet spot by having tiny fills here and there. I wish I had that luxury and to be honest I think I can get a package for 2 years for about £600 so I think it might be worth it. I would spend that in a year anyway, so it would take the pressure off.
I am also always paranoid about my band not working, breaking blah blah blah and it would be nice to have someone know me, my history and talk to on a more regular basis than just 10 minutes getting jabbed on my couch and adios!
I am going to think about that in the new year.
Current stresses:
1.) I am worried that we wont cover the bills for our shop at the end of the year.
I keep being told by DH that this is totally NOT a problem and there will be plenty of spoil but for some reason its just freaking me out. Maybe I am focusing on this dilemma because I have another stress...
2.) I am awaiting the test results from a skin scrape for Paget's disease of the breast. This is a form of cancer where there are changes to the nipple, and the areola. The symptoms are an eczema type patch, sometimes with oozing (sorry for grossness but after the finger thing, if you are still reading you have either already thrown up your lunch already, or you are not squeamish!). Apparently by the time this shows up you have ductal (milk tube) carcinoma. The doctor took one look at it and said "Hmmm looks like Paget's" and of course I had no idea what that was until I got home and googled it and found
A page on the MacMillan Cancer page all about it.
And there was me thinking I had some skin condition (well I still might... right? right????)
So, currently not giving much of a fig about anything at all. Strangely manically calm - yes I do seem to be able to be very upbeat and carefree in my worrying about the second stress and tragically searching for answers to the first stress at the bottom of a gin bottle!
No seriously... Its not a good time, but I am really oddly coping with it. But I did have a Chinese last night... so maybe that helped!! LOL
Oh yeah, (for Caroline) I totally know which foods to pleasure myself with. Who needs sex when you can have and Indian or a Chinky?? LOL
3.) will we or wont we get on holiday this year? I have spent copious amounts of time looking for cheap holidays. At the moment its looking very likely to be Tenerife, Lanzarote or umm any of the other ones. But I cant book it yet and I am getting stressed thinking that rather than the prices going down, they might actually go up!!!!
I need help lets face it.
To sum up how my life is right now, you can't get much closer than this little gem:

Your hopes for your team this season…
That the team clicks and plays to its capabilities, whoever's selected. Even though we had an unbalanced squad that was shorn of midfield creativity and dynamism last season, we were too often below par. First target is that magic 40-points mark – and then to press on, not switch off!
Summer signing that excites you…
Maarten Stekelenburg. If the Dutch international keeper proves anywhere as good as compatriot Edwin van der Sar we'll be delighted.
Player that needs to deliver….
Kieran Richardson, Hugo Rodellega, Pajtim Kasami, Bryan Ruiz… Young player to watch….
Young player to watch….
Buomesca Tue Na Bangna (we know him as Mesca) and, before long, a young lad named Moussa Dembele (yes, really)
Your team's most important player this season will be…
Has to be the exceptionally gifted Berbatov, right? If he's delivering the goods and looking hungry for more, that'll be a decent marker that the rest of the side are also doing the business. What we really want is a concerted team effort and effective tactics, please…
Fixture you are looking forward to the most…
Our home win over Chelsea.
Opposition player who will get booed…
John Terry might get a cheery wave, and Luis Suarez is another obvious target; but what about QPR's Adel Taarabt who, unbelievably, was booed by a moronic few on making his Fulham bow against Parma.
If you could have any other Premier League player in your team it would be…
Juan Mata, to provide some much-needed guile, or Gareth Bale for an injection of pace. A fully fit Louis Saha from his FFC prime would be a brilliant returnee – happy retirement Louis.

Securities dealing, for all the fuss and publicity it generates, accounted for just £3.3bn of profits while banking chipped in £2.9bn.
Given its importance, one would think the leading British insurance stocks would dominate the financial sector of the FTSE 100 index but in fact there are only two companies of consequence - Aviva and Royal & SunAlliance.
But today, with the flotation of a business called Capital Insurance Holdings, comes the possibility of a third.
Capital Insurance is initially a tiny issue, with Collins Stewart raising just £117m of capital for the company. Appearances are deceptive, however.
Although the purpose of the exercise is to get a share quote and working capital for a Lloyd's insurance market business called Euclidian, the real point is to create a vehicle that will lead to the consolidation of the dozen or so small listed companies operating within the Lloyd's market.
One snag is that these small companies show no desire to be consolidated. Another is that the last time there was a mass takeover of Lloyd's businesses, about 10 years ago when corporate capital arrived and Americans moved in, the entrepreneurially driven underwriters found it hard to live with big company disciplines and most eventually left. A third is that a surprising number of the principals have little respect for each other.
But Michael Wade, a long-time Lloyd's stalwart who pushed the consolidation idea hard but unsuccessfully when he was a director of Brit Insurance and who is chairman of the new company, is convinced it is time for another try.
He argues that though many of the integrated Lloyd's vehicles are good at what they do and have genuine underwriting talent, they are mostly too small to attract serious interest and backing of institutional investors. As a result they get the costs but not the benefits of being public.
Hence his interest in consolidation. Put enough of them under one umbrella and it would be possible to create a business with a market capitalisation of well over £2bn that would be a pure play on the London insurance market. That, he thinks, would whet the appetite of the investing institutions and build a third force.
The reason it hasn't happened before is that none of them trusts the others not to have a load of horrendous claims buried in the filing cabinet, and they cannot agree who will be boss.
The claims problem will be addressed by Berkshire Hathaway, a 25% shareholder in today's float, reinsuring the back book of the companies so they are clean when acquired. The personality problem will be addressed by leaving the businesses very much alone to develop as they see fit.
The distinctive culture of the acquired businesses will not only be preserved but actively encouraged. The holding company will simply act as an umbrella for what Wade calls the 'Lloyd's villages', which would continue to operate in their own way with their own brands.
The parent gets the benefits of their entrepreneurial flair and they get a cheaper cost of capital, a more-buoyant share price and a greater ability to withstand the kind of shocks that have already derailed the likes of Goshawk, Cox and SVB.
It's a great idea but the test will be if Wade can make the players in Lloyd's as enthusiastic for it as he is and keep them enthusiastic once inside his tent. He has logic on his side - but in this market logic doesn't always come into it. It will be a major coup if he can make it work.
Balfour beauty
IT has been a good week for Mike Welton of Balfour Beatty, and it is still only Wednesday.
On Monday he heard Chancellor Gordon Brown repeat his promise to pour billions into hospitals, education and transport, areas in which his company is a key player. This morning, he reported completion on the sale of Andover Controls to Schneider for $403m, which as well as giving Balfour a paper profit of more than £100m, also gives it the wherewithal to go deeper into Private Finance Initiative contracts.
Construction groups normally grow in line with the rate of economic growth but Balfour is galloping along at between 10% and 20% and hopes, when construction slows, to have built and be operating so many hospitals, schools and the like that it can live comfortably on the income.
Forget stories about construction being dull - this is a business for our times.

Jordan Galland & The Art of Spooky: Search Party & Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Undead
GRAMERCY, MANHATTAN: This week, NYC singer/songwriter and filmmaker Jordan Galland releases his new solo record, Search Party. Inspired by Leonard Cohen and Serge Gainsbourg, Galland's music has a moody, cinematic-pop quality that pervades his work in the visual realm as well. In his debut feature film — a dark comedy, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Undead — this aesthetic modulates into the absurd.
Galland sat down with us recently to talk about the making of Search Party, Rosencrantz — which was scored by Sean Lennon — and his painstaking audio/visual creative process.
"My influences on 'Search Party,' the song, are soundtracks from the 1960s," Galland describes, "I built the song off this bombastic, Brazil-inspired drum loop, and the horn part is inspired by Goldfinger. I'm really into soundtracks. I like combining music and film as much as I can." [Listen to "Search Party" here]: Search Party
Galland produced Search Party with longtime musical collaborator David Muller, with whom he's written and performed in the NYC bands Dopo Yume and Domino, the latter of which was signed to Mark Ronson's Allido Records.
"When David and I started out, ten years ago, we were making this mellow, spooky-tinted music, but out of necessity for getting audiences into it live, we ended up going for a more energetic, dance-rock kind of sound," explains Galland.
"So for Search Party, we kind of went back to what we'd wanted to do in the first place, without the worry about who's going to play what live. It's really more fun when you can make a record just for the sake of making a record."
A few of the songs on Search Party have been in circulation and re-worked times over the years. "'Sexy Girl' is a song that got a lot of traction for Dopo Yume back in '01," he shares. "And I wanted to revisit the song with this return to a mellower style. Here, we used brushes on the drums and more elaborate piano, where the earlier version was a more aggressive, distorted dance song."
Recorded to Pro Tools via a Digi 002, Search Party was performed by Galland and Muller, formerly of The Fiery Furnaces, at a friend's house-turned-studio in Hampton Bays. "We got some cool vintage keyboards at this awesome music store out there [Hampton Music], and David and I tracked it all using two AKG mics in the dining room of this house," says Galland.
"We used things from around the house — for example, the shaker on 'Coolest Boy on Earth,' which also sounds like a record crackle, is a Poland spring bottle with rice in it. And we used these clickity sounds throughout the record, which is the sound of us hitting a skull-shaped flower-pot on a ceramic plate and with drum sticks. And the 'ding' at the top of every verse on 'Can't Say Why' is David playing a wine glass."
Ron Shaffer mixed Search Party at Atlantic West Studios in Brooklyn — check/buy it HERE.
As much as Galland likes to combine his love of film and music, when it came time to score his feature film Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Undead, he called on a good friend he expected might be interested — Sean Lennon — and he accepted! Lennon wrote and performed the Rosencrantz score, and even released the soundtrack on his label, Chimera Records late last year.
"Sean and I have been friends for years — he's played in my band and I've written songs with him — so we have a shared vocabulary for music," Galland notes. "We've both always been into soundtracks and have spent a lot of time talking about film music, and allowing it to influence our music together."
Galland provided direction, referencing Danny Elfman, Ennio Morricone, Wendy Carlos — and film scores they'd both admired — and Lennon went to work, recording much of the music in his home studio, then overdubbing and mixing at Electric Lady.
"Another big influence for both of us is the soundtrack to Fantastic Planet (La Planète Sauvage) a French animated sci-fi film from the 70s, composed by Alain Goraguer," notes Galland. "Goroguer actually did all the arrangements for early Serge Gainsbourg, who's also a big influence on both my and Sean's work."
The soundtrack features Charlotte Kemp Muhl on "spooky, breathy" backing vocals, Yuka Honda on keyboards, and Kool Keith and Miho Hatori on the song "Desire," a song that plays during a club scene. Also, it did come in quite handy that Galland had his own catalog of original music.
"There are a few places in the film where we used bits of my music with muted vocals in the background," he explains. "And when the producers were making the trailer (way before we were done making the movie), they used a song of mine called 'They Always Come Back,' (which they didn't even realize uses zombies as a metaphor for dead relationships that come back to haunt you!).
"Sean's music is very humorous and dark and moody, and really lush and expansive and even orchestral, but there were a couple spots where we needed something in the tone of the trailer and that song worked."
It's only natural his music would fit, considering the repeating themes in Galland's song- and screenwriting. "Horror movies always have some very simple romantic or friendship element to them that allows the horror film to play out and the contrast is really striking and intriguing to me," he describes. "Because everything becomes so desperate — the couple is desperately in love and now they're getting murdered. There's both an operatic and kitsch element going on that I really like, and I try to capture that in my music and films."
