First Appearance: "The Daleks," Season 1, 1963
Why They're Important: Well, for one thing, they're the most long-lived of the Doctor Who monsters -- and also the most popular, appearing in every season of the revived show since 2005. They're also an integral part of the larger Who mythology, having been named as the enemies of the Time Lords during the Great Time War which eventually led to the eradication of the Doctor's race. Not bad for a pun of shrill-voiced pepper pots.
First Appearance: "Spearhead from Space," Season 7, 1970
Why They're Important: The Autons -- life-size plastic dummies animated by an alien presence called the Nestene Consciousness -- occupy a couple of particular places in Who history, being the first monsters to appear in a color episode of the series (Yes, the first six years of the show were in black and white), and also the first monsters to appear in the revived version of the show in 2005. As such, they were also the first monsters to encounter the Third and Ninth Doctors, respectively.
First Appearance: "Aliens of London," Revived series Season 1, 2005
Why They're Important: The Doctor Who Monster equivalent of Mean Girls' "Fetch," the Slitheen were monsters that creator and then-current Who showrunner Russell T. Davies just couldn't let go. They were far more comedic than threatening -- as if they didn't look ridiculous enough, they also had problems with intestinal gas -- and, after a couple of unsuccessful appearances as villains on Who, quickly became recast as comic relief or unscary threats on kid-centric spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures. In other words, consider them to Doctor Who what the Ferengi were to Star Trek.
First Appearance: "The Impossible Planet," Revived series Season 2 (2006)
Why They're Important: The Ood are a truly strange case of science-fiction metaphor meeting Hollywood cliche. When we initially meet them, they're an enslaved race who, we're told, have to be kept in servitude for their own good. Of course, this doesn't turn out to be the case, and eventually freed, they evolve into a race of wise, knowing beings who offer guidance and spirituality to others. Whether or not swapping the stereotype of the black slave with the stereotype of the Magical Negro was intentional remains unclear.
First Appearance: "The Tenth Planet," Season 4 (1966)
Why They're Important: Arguably the second-best known of the Doctor Who monsters, the Cybermen represent a particular brand of body (and mental) horror -- what happens to humanity when it gets a little too obsessed with upgrading itself with the use of technology. Part Frankenstein myth, part commentary on group-think and the herd mentality, the Cybermen could be the most chilling of all of the Who monsters -- if only you could ignore their radiator heads.
Weeping Angels
First Appearance: "Blink," Revived series Season 3 (2007)
Why They're Important: Who has a history of making monsters out of everyday objects, as the Autons demonstrate. The Weeping Angels may be the zenith of that particular trend, however -- alien statues that can move only when you're not looking at them, and who are slowly coming to kill you (or, perhaps, transform you into one of them, or maybe throw you back in time to eat your misery. It gets less clear the more often they appear). Their first episode, "Blink," is one of Who's finest moments in the entire 50-year run.
First Appearance: "The Time Warrior," Season 11 (1973)
Why They're Important: Doctor Who is, in many ways, an essentially pacifist show, and one of the places where that may be most obvious is with the Sontarans -- a militaristic race of cloned soldiers who want only war and, more importantly, conquest of others. Despite that, the Sontarans are ridiculous, especially in the revived series' take on them, where their machismo is played for laughs and reinforced with a lack of critical thinking -- or even much intelligence at all, outside of strategic planning. Only Doctor Who would have such glee in satirizing militarized cultures.
First Appearance: "Doctor Who and the Silurians," Season 7 (1970)
Why They're Important: The original "owners" of Earth, the Silurians -- also known as the Sea Devils for reasons too oblique to explain here -- are that most welcome of things: Villains who might, actually, have the moral superiority in their conflict with humanity. Since their reappearance in the show's revived incarnation, they've managed to both be partially responsible for the (temporary) death of one of the Doctor's companions and also offered up the fabulous Madame Vastra, Victorian detective and the show's quasi-inspiration for Sherlock Holmes.
Ice Warriors
First Appearance: "The Ice Warriors," Season 5 (1967)
Why They're Important: There's something wonderfully classic about the Ice Warriors' core concept: They're Martians who are invading Earth because they've managed to destroy their own planet and would like a replacement. Although the Warriors have suffered in comparison to other Who monsters -- in many ways, they're like a combination of the Daleks and the Cybermen in terms of motivation -- they reappeared in the most recent season of the revised show, suggesting their particular cold war might be about to heat up again in future episodes.
First Appearance: "Terror of the Zygons," Season 13 (1975)
Why They're Important: An invading race of alien shapeshifters, it could be argued that the Zygons aren't incredibly important, as yet. Certainly, they've only appeared in the series once, and despite their distinctive visual, have apparently become part of the long line of threats the Doctor had managed to vanquish and then forget about. But... they are appearing in this Saturday's anniversary episode, with a pre-release promotional video created to remind old fans (and educate new ones) about just how dangerous they can be. So maybe there's more than meets the eye to them after all... as would befit a shapeshifter, when it comes down to it.
The Time Lord, also known as "The Doctor," has run into a lot of different aliens, monsters and miscellaneous beasties during his five-decade run on the BBC's Doctor Who. With the show's 50th anniversary upon us this weekend, WIRED talked to Neill Gorton — director of Millennium FX, which has created prosthetics and makeup for Doctor Who for the last nine years — about what it's like to make the show's most memorable monsters (above) appear on-screen.
Although Gorton works with other television series, movies and live events, he said Doctor Who in particular is more than just another job. "There's no other project we've had such a close association with for so long," he told WIRED. "It can't help but become part of your life."
It helps, too, that Gorton was a Who fan long before he started working on the show. "I grew up in Liverpool in the '70s so I was a long way away from the London-centric film and TV world," he recalled. "Nearby Blackpool, the Las Vegas of the North, had a permanent Doctor Who exhibition, and on our yearly family day trips to Blackpool I would insist on visiting. I think this was the first time I really started to understand that these things, these creatures and robots and monsters, had to be made by someone. On TV it was magical and far away but here I could see the joins and the seams and paint flaking off. Seeing that they where tangible made them something in my grasp."
That early love for the show paid off when one of his childhood favorite characters reappeared on the series. "Davros [the cyborg creator of the show's signature monsters, the Daleks] haunted me as a child," Gorton said. "I remember seeing him on TV and thinking, 'Where did they find that creepy old man?' For years, I thought they found a bald old bloke and painted him brown. I pestered Russell T. [Davies, former Doctor Who showrunner] constantly about when I would get to do Davros."
When the character did reappear in 2008's "The Stolen Earth," Gorton said that his work with actor Julian Bleach was "really personal to me… I sculpted [the prosthetics], molded it, painted and applied the makeup on the shoot every day. It's the only revival of a classic Doctor Who monster that I've not heard a single fan moan about. Everyone just loved it."
After nine years of working on the show, Gorton said that his team and the show's producers have "a pretty good understanding" of how to deal with the prosthetic effect demands for the show. "It's like that scene in Apollo 13 when they dump a box of bits on the table and the Nasa guys have to figure out how to make a CO2 scrubber out of odd objects and trash that happens to be aboard," he joked. "The team is so clever at at getting the maximum effect out of the minimum resources, we'd be able to rustle up an engine modification that'd get us a round trip to Mars on top of fixing up that life support… The reality is the scripted vision always outstrips the budget by a huge margin."
Although the showrunner usually plots out the season's stories before Gorton's team becomes involved — meaning there's little chance to impact storyline decisions — that's not always the case. "Last [season], I mentioned to producer Marcus Wilson that I had a couple of cool nine-foot robot suits that could add value to an episode. And several months later Chris Chibnall delivers 'Dinosaurs on a Spaceship' with two nine-foot robots taking featured roles!" he said. "Since then I've been turfing all kinds of oddities out of my store rooms and excitedly saying 'How about this?'"
Despite approaching ten years with the show, Gorton believes that the best may be yet to come when it comes to his work on Who. Not only did his team re-create the classic Zygon monsters for this weekend's 50th anniversary special — "I had campaigned for years to build Zygons, as I just loved their pug faces, barrel chests and complete weirdness" — but he said that this year's Christmas episode contains something "something very special that I personally created in its entirety, but I can't tell you what."
Doctor Who's 50th anniversary episode, "The Day of the Doctor," airs on BBC America at 2:50pm Eastern and 11:50am Pacific on November 23, with 3D cinema screenings in select theaters the following Monday.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

SPRING HILL — Since elementary school, Matt Landgraff has had aspirations of winning a state title.
However, his wrestling skills matured much faster than his body. As a freshman and sophomore, he struggled against some of the elite competition even while competing in the 106-pound weight class.
Landgraff still reached the podium at state twice, placing sixth as a freshman and fifth last year. He became one of the most feared lightweights in the state despite the disadvantages of his youth and strength. Those deficits no longer exist.
"Normally I'm like half the size of the kids I wrestle, and now I'm bigger than those kids," he said. "Instead of always relying on technique, I can use my size to my advantage, too."
A growth spurt during the offseason has Landgraff looking lean and ready to compete. His presence during practice has changed as well. Landgraff has become the obvious lead dog because of his work ethic and a motor that doesn't seem to quit.
While two-time state placer and fellow junior Conor Ross split his time between football and wrestling, it was Landgraff and fellow state placer Mike McDonald who showed up every day to train and mentor younger teammates during youth practice.
Ross tore his ACL at the end of the football team's regular-season run to the playoffs, devastating news for the Eagles on the mat. With Jordan Rivera, the team's lone returning state champion, also playing football for the first time in high school, Landgraff's early-season performance became even more valuable.
"Matt and Mike are my staples," Springstead coach Sal Basile said. "We have other strong personalities, but I lean on those guys in the room."
Landgraff proved up to the task as the Eagles opened their schedule in Ocala last weekend for the seventh annual Forest Wildcats Invitational. Landgraff went 4-0, capturing his sixth career individual tournament victory.
With 86 wins in his Springstead career, Landgraff has a chance to catch all-time Eagles leader, former teammate Cody Ross (186). Older brother Shawn Landgraff, who won a state title in 2011, has 137 wins.
"I was talking to my brother (Shawn) the other day, and it came up that I only have two more years of high school left. Then it's all over," he said. "It's a different feeling to know you're that guy. You're not the guy lying in the shadows. You are up front to get stuff done."
The season goes into full swing for many local programs this weekend with the 32nd annual Kiwanis Invitational at Hernando. Landgraff has reached the finals twice, winning for the first time last season over Pasco's Kevin Tipton. Ranked second in the state behind Brandon's Frankie Bruno according to Scout.com, a victory this weekend could mark the start of a run to a gold medal in Lakeland.
"I expect him to be a state champ," Basile said. "For the first time you are going to see him be a little more of a man and compete with a little more horsepower. That's what (he's) built to do."
32nd annual Kiwanis Invitational
Where: Hernando High, Brooksville
When: Friday — Weigh-ins, 1 p.m.; first round, 3. Saturday — Restart, 10 a.m.; finals, 6 p.m.
Teams: Hernando, Weeki Wachee, Pasco, Land O'Lakes, Lecanto, Gulf, Lake Gibson, Crystal River, Lennard, Robinson, The Villages, Harmony, Springstead, St. Cloud, Durant, Tampa Bay HEAT, Wesley Chapel, Central, Northside Christian, Indian Rocks Christian, Lakeland, Nature Coast
2006-12 champions: Springstead
Favorites: 106 pounds: Matt Landgraff, Springstead; 113: Noah Ridley, Tampa Bay HEAT; 120: Mike McDonald, Springstead; 126: Zac German, Harmony; 132: Regan Haley, Durant; 138: Skyler White, Pasco; 145: Erick Byelick, Indian Rocks Christian; 152: Jordan Rivera, Springstead; 160: Brennan Ertl, Hernando; 170: Colton Jackson, The Villages; 182: Luis Peguero, Robinson; 195: Jonah Nightengale, Lecanto; 220: Jesse Gaudin, Hernando; 285: Andrew Ivey, Pasco

If you want to change how another person behaves, you have to begin by understanding how that person sees himself and his world (Top exam board asks schools to destroy book containing knife poem, September 4). Carol Ann Duffy's poem Education for Leisure is a brilliant description of how a young man who carries a knife sees himself and his world. Only those people who are frightened of learning about how other people see themselves and their world would try to stop children from reading this poem.
Dorothy Rowe
Thirty years ago, a lack of vigilance by those who should have known better meant that for A-level English I studied Othello (racism and domestic violence), The Winter's Tale (suspected infidelity means a wife gets turned to stone), Chaucer (satire on the church) and the poetry of Wilfred Owen (criticism of military leadership). As a result of this deplorable diet I developed a lifelong love of literature, studied the subject at university and became a writer. It's reassuring to know that our examinations officers and exam boards are taking steps to ensure this sort of thing couldn't happen today.
Sibyl Ruth
As the AQA exam board bows to the complaints of three people concerning Carol Ann Duffy's excellent poem by removing it from its anthology for GCSE study, can I ask: why does their GCSE-prescribed authors list contain Aldous Huxley (promiscuous behaviour encouraged amongst minors, social drug abuse endorsed in Brave New World); George Orwell (violence abuse of prisoners by a totalitarian regime in 1984); William Golding (mob violence and indiscriminate slaughter in Lord of the Flies) and Daniel Defoe (racial stereotyping and the abuse of power to enforce slavery in Robinson Crusoe)?
If a poem that considers the possible mindset of a potential knife crime offender is deemed insidious and dangerous, then the works cited above must go too. Once censorship of this kind begins, its logical end is the removal of anything considered remotely "dangerous".
I am surprised and disappointed that the AQA sees fit to act in this way and would urge it to reconsider. Knife crime is a fact in our society and anything that encourages children to consider its causes and implications has inherent value beyond the shocked reactions of an uninformed few. The message that such censorship sends is worrying in the extreme.

Some of you may have known that I lost my job right after C4. Which put me in a world of hurt. Now I have things rolling I'm getting back to my Jango costume.
But a member or the dented helmet Craig, sent me his girth belt and cod peice for a charity event that I was planning of doing. I thought I would be able to pay him right away but I was wrong. It has taking a few weeks if not a month or two to earn enough free cash to pay him back.
So I've sent him my payment and just like to take a moment and say "Thank you" You really been great and giving me the time to pay you back.
Thanks again
Let me know if there is anything I can do for you and yours.
Thank you again

Remember those weird shoes called Crocs? They were a fad a few years back. They are still around. People still wear them. They may not be at the forefront of the nation's consciousness, but they are on the forefeet of some people who live in the nation.
Crocs were quite controversial back in the day. They are not made of animal products, so people who don't like wearing animal parts could use them, and they were also made out of minimal materials. Environmentalists are always happy to hear minimal. On the other hand, Crocs are made out petroleum products, and they don't biodegrade. They are made from a mystery resin called Croslite. Recycling them was nearly impossible.
Now you can recycle your Crocs through a program called Soles United. Simply take your old Crocs and return them to a participating Crocs dealership. If there are none around your area, you can mail your Crocs to the nearest recycling facility.
Crocs recycling - West
3375 Enterprise Ave.
Bloomington, CA 92316
Crocs recycling - East
1500 Commodity Blvd.
Lockbourne, OH 43137
Your old Crocs will get recycled and turned into new Crocs made out of 20% recycled material. These new Crocs will be sent off the poorer regions of the world where they will be donated to those in need. If you have some old Crocs taking up space in your closet, it might be a good idea to donate them and make sure they get to the feet of someone who truly needs them.

While watching this weeks episode of Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer, I was taken back a little bit. This week, Bob had on Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell, two major players in the recent fiscal cliff debacle and, let's just say, things could have gone better.
If you've seen Bob in the last couple months, you'd know that he's pretty much angry at everybody right now. And who can blame him? After his inability to reel in the candidates during the Presidential Debate that he moderated, Bob couldn't be less thrilled with the disagreements that can't seem to get resolved. No one is agreeing on anything right now, and this weekend's episode of Face the Nation was no different.
Whenever he asked Pelosi or McConnell a question, they would simply deflect his question and respond with questions and retorts of their own. Bob would scowl and accuse them of not answering his questions and then move on to another guest.
Here is my plea- We need more politicians who don't beat around the bush and treat people like people, not voters. We need more Ron Paul's and Cory Bookers running the country and fewer Pelosi's.
It isn't an issue of Democrats or Republicans- it's an issue of efficiency and truly working for the American people. If you can't do that, maybe it's time to retire.

Demystifying How to Hire an Attorney: Meeting Lawyers to Potentially Handle Your Issue
In last Thursday's blog post, I started to demystify the process of hiring a lawyer. In that post, I talked about how to know what kind of lawyer you need to hire, and how to identify lawyers who are qualified to handle your case. Today I want to discuss how to select among lawyers and how to know if a lawyer is right for your case.
People often talk about someone in terms of being the "best" at what they do. What you'll find is that there's no single "best attorney" or "best divorce lawyer." The lawyer who's best for one person may not be a good lawyer for another person. Hiring an attorney is a very personal decision. You want someone who not only has the professional expertise to handle your legal issue, but also someone you can trust. That's why it's so important to meet a lawyer before deciding to hire him.
Meeting Attorneys
Before you decide to hire a lawyer, you should schedule what's known as an initial consultation. Some lawyers offer these meetings free to potential clients and others charge a nominal fee. At this meeting you can:
- Interview the lawyer to learn more about his expertise
- Tell the lawyer about your legal issue, get his evaluation and hear his proposed strategy for handling the issue
- Decide whether you'd be comfortable hiring the attorney to handle your issue
When preparing to meet with the lawyer you should make a detailed list of questions you'd like to ask the attorney and make written notes about your legal issue or problem.
Common sense should apply as you are listening to the lawyer answer your questions. Does he have experience handling cases similar to yours? Does she seem knowledgeable about the issue?
Hiring an Attorney
Once you've met with each attorney you're considering for your legal issue, you should be ready to hire one. Think about your requirements for a lawyer and then think about how well each lawyer stacks up. Typical requirements might include:
- Has sufficient experience handling legal issues similar to yours
- Proposes a strategy for handling your legal issue that makes sense
- Charges a fee that is fair and reasonable
- Makes you feel confident in her skills and advice
- Is someone with whom you'd feel comfortable entrusting your legal issue
If you're unable to make a decision, ask each lawyer to put you in touch with a former client. Talking to someone who's worked with the attorney and asking them about their experiences may make your decision an easier one.
Once you've decided which attorney to hire, that lawyer may ask you to sign a retainer agreement. This contract spells out both your obligations to the lawyer and the lawyer's obligations to you. It should detail the specifics of how much you're paying the lawyer to handle your legal issue, whether you're required to make an upfront deposit (also known as a retainer fee) and how frequently payments are due.
Follow these simple steps and you'll feel like a pro next time you have to hire an attorney!

Taking Our Own Research Advice
Posted by
Picking up research tips is among the fringe benefits of working for
Family Tree Magazine
. And the advice works! Here are two examples from my genealogy search:
For our August 2010 article on church records research (subscribers start getting this issue at the end of May), Sunny McClellan Morton interviewed Catholic records expert Ann McRoden Mensch.
Then and there (doing genealogy on the job is another fringe benefit), I went to Mensch's Local Catholic Church and Family History Genealogical Research Guide, surfed around until I found information on the Cleveland archdiocese, clicked a link and filled out the archives' online request form.
the Catholic research guide
has moved
since the August issue went to press. Many links to state information on the new site don't seem to be working, but see the Comments on this post for instructions on how to access the old site.)
A few weeks later, I received in the mail a copy of a funeral register from my great-grandfather's church in Cleveland, showing his name (it's hard to make out here, but he's third from the bottom).
Last year, while editing our November 2009 federal records article by David A. Fryxell, I realized that that same great-grandfather—who wasn't yet naturalized in 1940—would've had to register with the government under the Alien Registration Act.
That day, I requested his Alien Registration form (form AR-2) from the
US Citizenship and Immigration Service's online Genealogy Program
. The record, showing his first name as "Fablo," supports my case that the "Fadlo Hadad" I found on a 1900 passenger list is the right guy.

Preservation Groups List Endangered Sites
Posted by
Two preservation organizations—the
Civil War Preservation Trust
and the
National Trust for Historic Preservation
—have released their annual lists of most-endangered sites this week.
Budget cuts are a culprit in both lists. "This year
nearly 30 states
have experienced cuts to parks' and sites' budgets, and a recent survey estimates as many as 400 state parks could close," says the National Trust's announcement.
Commercial development is a huge threat, too. One site—Virginia's Wilderness Civil War battlefield—made both organizations' lists because of plans to build a massive shopping center at the entrance.

Walgreens Cancels Plans to Sell DNA Test
Posted by
Walgreens drug stores canceled plans to sell a genetic testing kit because the FDA hasn't reviewed it.
Pathway Genomics
announced this week that its Insight Saliva Collection Kit would be sold at Walgreens, the FDA told Pathway Genomics that the kit meets the definition of a device and is subject to FDA approval.
Though it's been discussed on genealogy websites, the test kit isn't a genetic genealogy test. Instead, it's meant to assess medical conditions and risk for diseases such as Alzheimer's. (Pathway Genomics also sells ancestry testing kits on its website.)
The kit was to cost $20 at Walgreens. Then you'd send your sample to Pathway Genomics and pick which tests you want (Drug Response, Pre-pregnancy Planning and other Health Conditions) at a cost of up to $249.
The kit is raising concerns about people getting medical information without input from their doctors. Similar testing is available by mail from companies including

Steady As She Goes?
Southeastern Insights
June 2013
Southeastern Insights provides a broad summary of economic intelligence gathered through our network of business contacts and other sources throughout the Southeast during the latest Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) cycle. This report covers the period from May 2 to June 19.
General conditions
The outlook among our business contacts was largely unchanged since our last report. When queried about their near-term outlook (the next three to six months), 55 percent of Sixth District directors said they anticipate a higher rate of growth in their businesses, a slight increase from April (see chart 1). One contact characterized the prevailing sentiment as "businesses are more confident in their outlook, but their outlook hasn't changed [in the last six weeks]."
Real estate
One industry that continues to experience moderate to strong growth is real estate. We are beginning to hear more reports that the housing recovery is having a positive impact on businesses such as site developers, construction companies, home furnishings outlets, and insurance firms. Also, banking contacts tell us that traffic for mortgages is picking up (see chart 2) and that the appetite for investment is increasing among both retail and institutional investors.
However, the strength we've seen in multifamily development is causing some to watch this sector carefully. Cap rates for high-quality commercial real estate projects are at low levels, and some contacts have expressed concerns that these real estate valuations may be reaching unsustainable levels.
In other news…
The banking environment remains highly competitive. Banks continue to find ways to aggressively capture high-quality loans, yet credit availability remains a challenge for smaller companies and residential builders. Nonetheless, reports indicate that nonbank lenders are entering the market to provide much-needed capital for these smaller companies.
Although creditworthy contacts note that traditional financing is very attractive, businesses remain reticent to "pull the trigger" on new capital projects to expand capacity, preferring to set the stage by lining up financing for future expansion but holding off on execution. What business investment there is continues to focus primarily on acquisitions and productivity-enhancing technology to reduce costs rather than expanding capacity, as there continues to be relatively low levels of organic growth coming from increased demand.
On the manufacturing front, businesses tied to heavy industrial production or infrastructure construction have not been optimistic. Expectations are for a flat second half of 2013, which should be no surprise given the slowing that is showing up in the Southeast Purchasing Managers Index (see chart 3).
Employment: An interesting mix of stories
Overall, our contacts report subdued levels of hiring (see chart 4) and wage increases in the range of 2–3 percent. However, there are some interesting stories that feel new and different from what we have heard in the recent past. We are beginning to hear reports of increased turnover in sectors such as health care, manufacturing, and technology because there appears to be improved confidence about job-finding opportunities. Furthermore, employees who had been thankful to have a job during the downturn and were therefore reluctant to ask for concessions from employers, are becoming more vocal about obtaining improved wages and are indicating a willingness to change employers to get it.
At the same time, businesses have continued using staffing models with greater reliance on temporary and contract workers. However, this cycle, we heard a report that a company was converting its best contractors to permanent staff to keep from losing them. There also appears to be an emerging phenomenon whereby an increasing number of workers are seeking part-time employment by choice, primarily in high-wage service industries. Granted, these reports seem to be limited to relatively high-skilled labor and the majority of contacts aren't planning significant hiring, but taken together, these reports do seem to indicate improving labor confidence, which may explain the uptick in May's labor force participation rate (see chart 5).
In general, our contacts were not highly concerned about most of their input costs, which remain relatively stable. Some businesses feel that lower input prices are providing some needed breathing room for profit margins, as demand in many areas is not providing revenue growth.
However, costs related to construction materials such as lumber, concrete, and drywall did increase for some of our contacts. A few of the stories in this realm were quite instructive—rapidly increasing costs are making it difficult for estimators to price out construction projects accurately, but in other dimensions, prices are declining (an example is steel; see chart 6). This is creating an incentive for some manufacturers to work through their metals inventory so that they can resupply inventories at lower prices.
Where input costs are rising, we see little evidence that the increases are being passed on to consumers. Our business contacts continue to report having very little pricing power. At best, some large and more sophisticated businesses are attempting to improve revenues by reducing discounts or altering other terms of sale, but for the most part, they are not seeking straightforward price hikes.
Consistent with our earlier observations about some signs of improvement in the labor market, the results of our May 2013 Business Inflation Survey show that 65 percent of respondents expect labor costs to put moderate to strong upward pressure on prices over the next 12 months, the largest percentage since the survey began in October 2011.
Headwinds and risks
As for headwinds, because incomes are not rising significantly, we might have expected reports of deteriorating consumer sentiment. However, that was not the case. Likewise, there were only isolated reports of concerns regarding the effects of the sequestration, and the impact appears to be muted.
Looking ahead
As the housing recovery continues, there has been an improvement in the level of confidence in near-term projections of slow but steady growth. Yet businesses remain cautious (especially with respect to hiring), even though concerns about downside surprises seem more remote than they have in recent years. Many important questions remain: How long can consumers sustain spending in the face of modest income growth? When businesses get ready to hire, will they be able to find the skilled staff they need? And will low levels of personal consumption expenditures (PCE) growth persist? For now, we see many businesses forging ahead, expecting things to get better slowly, yet preserving flexibility for an uncertain future.

Regional and remote airports under stress in Australia
Baker, Douglas C. & Donnet, Timothy (2012) Regional and remote airports under stress in Australia. Research In Transportation Business And Management, 4, pp. 37-43.
Accepted Version
(PDF 125kB)
Australia's airline industry was born on connecting regional communities to major cities, but almost a century later, many regional and remote communities are facing the prospect of losing their air transport services. The focus of this paper is to highlight key issues and concerns surrounding remote, rural and regional airports in Australia using a network governance framework. Contributions are focused towards regional and remote airport managers, decision makers, and policy makers to stimulate further discussion towards retaining regional and remote services to communities.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
I can help for you deciding how to fill the form.
First, I am presuming that you have nothing on line 5.
That being so, then the amount excluded from income is applied on lines 6 through 13, in that order.
So, go down starting at line six and put the amount in for each line until the total you have put on the lines is the amount excluded (you said it was 6167 in your case).
What the line 10 instructions are saying is that you will not count as your cost (basis) amounts that you owe (liabilities) after the discharge of debt.
That is, if you were still insolvent after this particular debt was discharged then 10a is zero.
Since you said that before the discharge of 6167 you were at (39475) then you will have zero on 10a since you have zero when you take cost basis minus liabilities after the discharge.
When there is debt discharge the amount of income excluded reduces your cost basis (and so later increases gain on sale) or reduces other tax attributes.
If my liability is more than my cost than there is no cost basis to reduce and that particular line is zero.
Please ask if you need more discussion or clarification.
Thank you.
Thanks for the quick response! I do not have anything on line 5. I must have misinterpreted the instructions that seemed to indicate that with non-title 11 insolvency I only needed to worry about filling out line 10a.
Lines 6 - 13 don't seem to apply to my situation, so if I understand correctly I should include the $6167 on line 5 and line 10a would be -0-?
Thank you!
Hello again,
Line 5 is to make an election to change which item is reduced first. There should not be an amount on line 5 if there is not anything that will be reduced; and then you use lines 6 through 13 to reduce those attributes, if any.
It is possible to only have zero on all the lines 4-13 when you have none of those items.
From your description, as you stated, that seems to apply in your case - all zeros.
Forms do have to be designed to be used by taxpayers in many circumstances to it is not a problem for you having blank, or zero, on all those lines.
Hope that clarifies for you; but ask again if you need more help.
Thank you.
That definitely helps. Thank you so, so much!
You are quite welcome.
If you have another question, you can include my name in the question to direct it to me if you wish.
Thank you for the opportunity to be of service.

Captains No-Hit Dragons in Home Opener
April 11, 2011 6:11 PM ET
(Eastlake, OH)- Lake County pitchers combined to toss nine innings of no-hit baseball defeating Dayton 3-1 on Monday night at Classic Park in the home opener. Trey Haley, Francisco Jimenez and Clayton Ehlert made history in northeast Ohio and now share something special with the late great Bob Feller; throwing a no-hitter in a home opener.
The Captains scored the first for the fifth straight game. In the second inning, Jason Smit drew a leadoff walk and came into score on Alex Monsalve's RBI double. Dayton scored their lone run in the third inning using two walks and two wild pitches against starter Haley to make 1-1.
In the fifth inning, Carlos Moncrief doubled with one out to reach, a Giovanny Urshela ground out moved him to third. Moncrief scored on Daniel Renken wild pitch to make it 2-1. Tyler Cannon hit the Captains' first homerun of the season to give the Captains a little insurance, at 3-1.
The real fireworks came on the mound, Haley started the night working three innings, allowing a run with no hits, walking two and striking out four. Jimenez (1-0) earned the win pitching four scoreless innings allowing just one walk and striking out two. Clayton Ehlert picked up the save, his second tossing a perfect eighth and ninth inning to seal the no-hit bid.
Dragons' starter Renken (0-1) took the loss going five innings allowing three runs on five hits, walking three and striking out eight.
Lake County and Dayton continue their four game series from Classic Park on Tuesday night at 7:00PM. Captains' opening day starter RHP Mike Goodnight (1-0) will make his second start of the season against RHP Josh Smith (0-1) for the Dragons.
Tuesday night is the first Bark in the Park night, presented by Marc's Doggie Rewards where fans can bring their canine friends to Classic Park. Every Tuesday home game will be a Bark in the Park night. Dog owners can purchase $5 pooch passes, from which a portion of the proceeds will benefit Marc's Doggie Rewards. The Captains will offer $1 hot dogs on Tuesday nights as well to complete the dog theme.

With the noteworthy exception of the nation's still expanding national debt, 2012 will be viewed by economic historians as predominantly a year of progress. Financial markets performed, the number of jobs expanded, unemployment fell, auto sales surged, housing prices stabilized and consumers were active. According to the most recently revised estimate supplied by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, national gross domestic product expanded 3.1 percent during the third quarter of 2012 on an annualized basis. The fourth quarter wasn't nearly as good, and though fourth quarter data have yet to be released, the expectation is that the U.S. economy expanded only about 1 percent on an annualized basis during the quarter. Despite that, many economists estimate that the nation's economy expanded 2.2 percent last year, a bit better than 2011's 2.0 percent performance.
Equity markets started 2013 with a bang, in part because of news regarding partial resolution to a variety of fiscal cliff issues. On the year's first trading day, the Dow Jones Industrial Average soared 308.41 points or 2.4 percent to 13,412.55. The S&P 500 rose 36.23 points (2.5 percent) to 1,462.42, the index's biggest one-day improvement in more than a year (December 20, 2011). The NASDAQ composite index rose 92.75 points, or 3.1 percent, to 3,112.26.
While all major stock indexes were down for the fourth quarter, they were up for the year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 886.58 points from 12,217.56 on December 30, 2011 to 13,104.14 one year later (7.3 percent). The S&P 500 rose 13.4 percent to 1,426.19 and the NASDAQ was up 16 percent to 3,019.51.
Despite the heightened uncertainty that characterized the fourth quarter, businesses continued to hire. In December, the nation added 155,000 nonfarm jobs (168,000 private sector jobs) following a gain of 161,000 jobs in November and 137,000 in October. For the year, the nation added approximately 1.84 million net jobs, almost exactly the same number added in 2011. Job growth was sufficient to tug the nation's unemployment rate below 8 percent. In January 2012, unemployment stood at 8.3 percent. By December of the same year, the corresponding figure was 7.8 percent, translating into 542,000 fewer unemployed workers.
One of the most noteworthy improvements in 2012 occurred in the housing market, which is now associated with both rising sales and median prices. According to the National Association of Realtors, existing-home sales rose 5.9 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.04 million in November from 4.76 million in October. The number of existing home sales is now 14.5 percent higher than a year ago, due primarily to a combination of consistent job growth and extraordinarily low mortgage rates. The national median existing-home price for all housing types was $180,600 in November, up 10.1 percent from November 2011.
Even during the fourth year of economic recovery, massive uncertainty lingers. While fiscal cliff part I is behind us, in front of us is the grisly sequel. Over the next two months, Congress will be wrestling with another set of issues, including whether or not to raise the debt ceiling and to what extent as well as scheduled automatic federal spending cuts.
Taxes have also risen, including in the form of the elimination of the payroll tax cut and an increase in the rate at which dividend income is taxed. With the economy already expanding slowly and with taxes having risen recently, expect the first half of the year to be another period of subpar growth. If Congress fails to appropriately deal with the budget and tax issues now facing it, the first half of the year could be worse than mediocre. On top of that, there is plenty of headline risk emerging from other parts of the world, including Europe where the economy remains in disarray. News from China has been better of late, however.
If Congress is able to successfully navigate the debt ceiling and other issues, the latter part of 2013 could be quite good for the U.S. economy. It is for this reason among others that many financial analysts remain bullish about the longer-term. However, investors should be prepared for a good bit of volatility during the months immediately ahead.

Economic Outlook
A recent survey indicates that America's optimism regarding the housing market's recovery has improved significantly. According to Fannie Mae's September 2012 National Housing Survey, a monthly poll of 1,000 homeowners and renters, more respondents expect home prices to rise in the next year (37 percent) and the share anticipating declining home prices is down to 11 percent. It is worth noting that such attitudes tend to become self-fulfilling prophecies. People are generally willing to pay more for an asset that they expect to appreciate in value. Importantly, 19 percent of those surveyed say now is a good time to sell, the highest level since the survey began in June 2010. More buyers and sellers translates into a more active market, and that's good for realtors, title companies and of course, the buyers and sellers themselves.
Already, that renewed confidence working in conjunction with record low or near-record low mortgage rates is having an impact. According to the National Association of Realtors, national existing home sales rose 7.8 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.82 million in August, up from 4.47 million in July. The number of existing home sales is now 9.3 percent higher than year-ago levels. The national median existing home price for all housing types was $187,400 in August, up 9.5 percent from one year ago.
Maryland's housing market is also improving. According to data supplied by MRIS and the Coastal Association of Realtors, home sales rose 3.5 percent in July on a year-over-year basis, 9.6 percent in August and 6.1 percent in September. Average and median prices have expanded in Maryland for seven consecutive months through September. Statewide, average sales prices were up 6.1 percent since September 2011 while median prices increased 6.8 percent.
Many economists believe that the housing market bottomed toward the end of 2011. This year has been one of improvement, as low mortgage rates, ongoing job creation and growing confidence have ushered forth welcome market dynamics. Unit sales and prices are up and forward looking indicators are also promising. Pending sales in Maryland were up on a year-over-year basis in both August and September. Statewide, pending units were up from 4,986 in September 2011 to 5,609 in September 2012, an improvement of 12 percent. Increasingly, realtors can credibly claim that the best time to buy is now and that if prospective buyers wait too long, they may miss out on highly advantageous mortgage rates and will end up paying more for the dream.
They may also have fewer choices from which to select. The active inventory of unsold homes in Maryland continues to decline. In September 2011, months of inventory stood at 8.5 months. One year later, inventory had dropped to 6 months, which means that market equilibrium has been achieved at last. Presently, seven Maryland jurisdictions have months of inventory below this level. Based on pending sales, inventory is likely to continue to fall, increasing prospects for additional home price appreciation.

After re-accelerating late last year and during the initial months of 2012, the pace of economic growth and job creation has slowed more recently. In June, national employment expanded by just 80,000 jobs according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. June represented the third consecutive month during which national job creation was well below 100,000 jobs. During the first three months of the year, the nation's average monthly employment gain was 226,000 jobs. During last year's fourth quarter, the nation's output expanded at a 3 percent annualized pace, but during the first half of 2012, the nation's economy expanded at a less than 2 percent pace.
Maryland has not been immune to the slowdown. Unemployment in Maryland has increased for a third consecutive month in May (6.8%) and the state has been losing jobs. Whether Maryland's economy will continue to decelerate in unclear. Also unclear is whether or not recently observed housing market momentum can persist in the face of broader macroeconomic weakness.
A recent Wall Street Journal article simply proclaimed that the "housing market has turned." Nationally, nearly 10 percent more existing homes were sold in May than in the same month one year earlier. Builders began work on 26 percent more single-family homes in May 2012 than a year earlier and the stock of unsold newly built homes is back to 2005 levels. A recent survey of 47 forecasters found that 44 believed that the housing market has reached its bottom.
Maryland has been participating in housing's recent recovery, but there are indications that the pace of recovery has slowed. Home sales statewide increased 10.5 percent in May on a year-over-year basis. But in June, the year-over-year was just 1.7 percent, with 11 Maryland jurisdictions reporting year-over-year sales gains. Many of the observed gains in unit sales, though certainly not all, took place among core metropolitan area jurisdictions. This is likely a reflection of the influence of first-time buyers, who have been setting off cascading sales dynamics. By contrast, in counties with less dense job markets and first-time buyer influence, sales growth has been less consistent.
Price dynamics remain positive in Maryland. In June, average price was up 6.7 percent on an annual basis while median price was up 8.5 percent. Sixteen jurisdictions experienced year-over-year increases in average sales prices and 19 reported increases in median sales prices in June. Certain jurisdictions continue to experience falling home prices, however, including a number of Eastern Shore jurisdictions: Dorchester County (average price declined 55.8%; median price up 0.1%), Kent County (average price slipped 18.8%; median price fell 25.9%), Somerset County (average price dipped 9.4%; median price fell 18.9%), and Worcester County (average price slid 14.4%; median price decreased 17.2%).
Despite growing confidence among economists, there are reasons to remain nervous about the housing industry. Consumer confidence is declining again and job growth slowed dramatically during the second quarter relative to the first both nationally and in Maryland. The next several months should be months of progress, however. Pending sales in Maryland were up on a year-over-year basis in both May (+375 units) and June (+282 units). In June 2011, Maryland's supply of housing inventory stood at 7 months. A year later, inventory had declined to 5.1 months - a level consistent with rising home prices and greater urgency among prospective buyers.

Kopi Coffee Club deliver coffee to your door and you can buy it as a one off delivery or via a subscription. As it is a gourmet coffee, it comes at a premium price. However, it can be made cheaper by purchasing a longer subscription. You could tell the taste difference from a supermarket brand as to me it tasted smokey. If I was a connoisseur I would describe it as having a blend of dark chocolate, lavender and liquorice - I read this on the information card!
I was given a months trial of the club (250g coffee and a information card) for the purpose of this review, but the opinions contained here are my own.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - When Elon looked at the ever-changing landscape of college athletics and the possibility that the dominoes from conference realignments will just keep on falling, an invitation to join the Colonial Athletic Association became more about the fit for the Phoenix than the future.
``In our analysis, and in our decision, we were looking strictly at what was best for our institution. We had to make that decision not knowing with the Southern Conference is going to look like and not knowing what the Colonial Athletic Association is going to look like,'' Blank said.
``We felt it was more important to say where do we fit best? Where do we serve our university and our student-athletes best?''
The announcement on the school's North Carolina campus was ``a big day for Elon,'' President Leo M. Lambert said. He called the CAA a ``venerable athletic conference'' and said the league is ``an ideal fit for Elon,'' particularly since 56 percent of Elon's enrollment next year will hail from within the CAA footprint.
That familiarity with opponents, as well as the ability for parents to see their kids play, weighed heavily in the decision
``In many cases, our student-athletes will now be playing against friends from their hometowns and even against high school classmates,'' Blank said.
The addition of Elon will give the CAA 10 basketball schools and 12 in football.
Elon is the second school to leave the Southern Conference for the CAA. College of Charleston is joining as an all-sports member next season. The Southern Conference's losses don't stop there, either, with the league also having recently lost Davidson, one of its strongest basketball programs, to the Atlantic 10. That was after seeing its primary football powerhouses, Appalachian State and Georgia Southern, leave for the Sun Belt Conference in the past year.
Southern Conference Commissioner John Iamarino said that in a release that ``our core group remains firmly committed to each other and to the academic and athletic success of the Southern Conference. We are preparing specific initiatives to achieve that success.''
The CAA has been scrambling to add members after losing Georgia State, VCU, George Mason and Old Dominion in the past 13 months.
``We are thrilled that you have accepted our invitation,'' CAA Commissioner Tom Yeager said at the press conference.
Yeager said in the climate of change, universities and leagues have taken a pro-active stance, with conferences always looking at the profiles of other universities, and universities doing likewise with conferences. He says the CAA leadership has ``no magic number or ceiling in mind'' for its membership.
Yeager said when Stony Brook and Albany were added for football last August that he was turning his attention to replenishing the basketball membership.
The league held its conference basketball tournament this season with just seven eligible teams because Old Dominion was disqualified from participating as a departing member and two other teams - N.C. Wilmington and Towson - were ineligible for postseason play because of academic sanctions.
With the recent additions, Yeager thinks the league is on steady ground again.
``I think we are,'' he said. ``I really do.''

Newbie here
I finally decided to embrace my curls a couple years ago. My sister is a hair stylist, and after attending seminars and whatnot to become a "Deva stylist" (yeah, I'm a lucky duck!) she introduced me to the Deva Curl products. HOLY COW what a difference!! That's when I started to think that I could actually work with my curls, instead of always fighting with them.
I flat ironed my hair most of the time through junior high/high school, and then I got to a point where I got sick of putting so much time into that! So, ponytails it was. Which I didn't like either. So glad to have found a better way!
I don't use Deva Curl anymore but it was a nice way to start out.
Anyway - here's before. Kind of old picture but like I said, normally it was flat ironed!
After - sorry, I had a horrible time trying to take a pic of my hair lol and I don't have recent photos of me!

Citation: Haynes, K.G., Wanner, L.A., Thill, C.A., Novy, R.G., Whitworth, J.L. 2006. Common scab trials of potato varieties and advanced selections in 2003. [abstract]. Amer. J. Potato Res. 83:113. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Common scab, caused by Streptomyces spp., is a soil-borne disease of potato tubers that seriously affects marketability of the crop. Many factors can influence the severity of scab expression: the genotype of the host, variability of Streptomyces pathogenicity, density of bacteria within the soil profile, and environmental conditions among others. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stability of common scab expression in advanced germplasm from public potato breeding programs in different regions of the United States. Nineteen clones, consisting of four standard check varieties (Atlantic, Superior, Russet Burbank, Ranger Russet), four recently released varieties (Alturas, Bannock Russet, Harley Blackwell, Liberator), and 11 numbered selections were evaluated in ID, ME and MN. After harvest, each tuber was scored for the percent of surface area covered with lesions and the type of lesion. These scores were converted to an area index (AI) and a lesion index (LI). There were no differences among the environments for either AI or LI. There were significant differences among clones for AI and LI. There were significant clone x location interactions for AI but not LI. Liberator and ND2470-27 were unstable for AI before removal of environmental heterogeneity; ND2470-27 and NDTX4271-1R were unstable after removal of environmental heterogeneity. Broad-sense heritability for AI and LI were estimated as 0.76 and 0.90, respectively. These results indicate that the responses of some clones vary considerably over environments and evaluation at multiple environments is important for classifying disease phenotype.

The Economy and Statistics of Penny Auctions Expected to Change Soon
Today, April 20th, is a big day for people who love to bid on the increasingly popular penny auctions. At 0:00 GMT today, the highly anticipated tool, Penny Auction Bot, was released by Krish Puri.
It's called Penny Auction Bot. Programmed by Krish Puri, an intuitive freelance programmer, critics have been predicting a wave of both profit and irritation for participants at some of the most popular penny auction websites. Such a tool clearly poses immense power for those who possess it, and will likely be a large annoyance for those who don't.
"Penny Auction Bot has been in development for many months", said Krish. "To finally have such a tool released is going to be quite a thrill both for me and my clients." As Penny Auction Bot behaves exactly as you would (except you're not really there), then it is likely that penny auction websites will find it impossible to block. Because the end of a penny auction is highly time sensitive, preventative systems such as captcha cannot be used as they would require too much time for a human to type in.
"What has me so excited about Penny Auction Bot is the fact that it's 100% automated", continued Krish. "You tell the program which parameters you would like it to follow – such as when you want to begin bidding based upon the time left in the auction, even one second – and you can walk away from your computer for as long as you like, and Penny Auction Bot will do what you otherwise would. It's both fantastic and exciting to have developed a first-in-its-
Penny Auction Bot released today at 0:00 GMT at pennyauctionbot.com. The program costs a firm $97 with no discounts currently being offered. This is expected to cause even more of an effect on penny auctions as not everyone will be able to afford it at this price – and that means that those who can afford it are going to become even more profitable in the wars that penny auctions have come to be.
# # #
Penny Auction Bot is a software created to automate bidding in penny auction websites. It helps users in saving time, effort, and resources, which they would otherwise spend if they were to take part in penny auctions manually.

Villa for RAF officers
In my research for my book about Luqa airfield, I found various accounts mentioning Ariel House, of which I am attaching an aerial photo, courtesy of the Department of Information.
This villa was built by the RAF to accommodate its highest officers: the Air Officers Commanding (AOCs) and their families from the late 1940s. It was situated up the hill at the prestigious area known as Kappara and was built on five acres of grounds.
The first occupant was Air Vice-Marshal N.B. D'Aeth (AOC Malta between 1949 and 1952), who, upon retiring, from the RAF entered the priesthood and was eventually ordained deacon in December 1957.
Visiting RAF dignitaries such as Air Marshal Sir Dermont A. Boyle stayed there as guest of AOC Edward Chilton in January 1959. In February 1960, a Roman tomb was found during works with two skeletons, which was researched by the then Director of Archaeological Department, David Trump. During Dom Mintoff's time as Prime Minister in 1981, it was leased to the Soviet government to house its Embassy in Malta.
Perhaps readers can further illuminate me on this house or maybe possess a plan/photo that can be shared with me. I shall appreciate any information regarding this and maybe other houses occupied by the RAF before their withdrawal from Malta in 1979, such as Marlborough House in Ta' Xbiex or their enlistment house in South Street, Valletta.

Westmoor Park is a town owned park operated by the Leisure Services Department of the Town of West Hartford. It was donated to the town in 1973 from the estate of Charles and Leila Hunter to be used as a nature park. The park property consists of 162 acres of field, forest and wetlands, a demonstration farm, and a nature center building with educational displays. They are located at 119 Flagg Rd, West Hartford, CT.
From I-84 take exit 41. Turn north (eastbound - left, westbound - right) onto South Main St. Continue for 3.6 miles to the intersection of Route 44 and North Main St, Bishops Corner. Turn left at the traffic light. At the next light, turn left and then make a quick right to get onto Flagg Road. Continue 1/2 mile on Flagg Road to the park entrance on the left.
The Clues:
From the parking lot, cross the lawn to the west, away from the barn and farm pasture. Enter the path to cross the meadow at the North West corner of the herb garden. You'll pass by the flag pole in the center of the field. This wildflower field was once a lawn, but beginning in the summer of 2000 the park staff began seeding and managing approximately 13 acres with the goal to return native grasses and wildflowers to the area. This improved habitat now supports a greater diversity of wildlife.
At the edge of the hill you will see a cabin. Mr. Hunter built this in the 1940's, as Mrs. Hunter would not allow him to smoke his pipe in the house. Bear right and follow the trail down the hill to the gravel path at post number 9. The numbered posts are part of a self guided nature trail. You can pick up a brochure for this trail from the office.
(For the wheel chair accessible path, leave the parking lot at the lower end and follow the gravel road/path. Follow it past the cabin and down the hill. Turn right at the trail junction at post number 2 and follow to post number 9. Now both paths have joined at the same location)
Follow the gravel trail into the woods. Ahead of you is a wooden bridge over the brook. Check out the beaver dam at the bridge. The beavers built it to make themselves a pond. It there they will feed and make their lodge for the winter. To the left before the bridge, is a bench. Sit and rest while you take in the stillness of the woods. Sight at a 150 degree bearing to an Oak tree just across the gravel path. Behind it is a hollow log. The Raccoon letterbox is inside. To continue on, follow the gravel path along the brook.
Follow the gravel path along side the brook. The brook widens out in a few places forming ponds for wildlife. You can often see Wood Ducks, Mallards, and Great Blue Herons here. On warm sunny days the Painted Turtles come out to sun themselves on rocks and logs. Where the gravel path turns left away from the pond and into the woods, there is a bench for sitting and observing. Across the pond is an area of wet meadow and marsh. This is a favorite place for Red-winged Blackbirds and other wetland wildlife.
Box retired. It is now a mouse nest. Don't stick your fingers in there. (As you sit on the bench, take notice of the bird house on an Eastern Hemlock just a short distance into the woods to the south, compass bearing 194 degrees. Inside you have found the Blue Bird letterbox.)
To continue on, follow the gravel trail east into the woods, away from the pond. At the trail intersection marked by post number 4 turn right. Go on the flat wood chipped path, not the one that goes uphill. On the right you will pass an open meadow in the woods. The original top soil from this spot was removed in the 1950's to construct the Bugbee flood control dike that can be seen a couple hundred yards off to the east, past the Maple swamp. At the south east corner of the meadow you will find a four-way trail intersection. Continue straight and up a small incline to the Loop Trail.
This raised area is an esker it was deposited here by a glacier some 15,000 years ago, forming a long low hill. Follow the trail along the high ground of the esker. As you walk along, take notice of a large three sister (triple trunked) Red Oak on your left. This tree has re-grown from stump sprouts, evidence of the forest cutting activity practiced in Connecticut some 100 years ago. Further along, near the end, the trail forks to form the "Loop". Bear left at the fork. You will see a 16 inch diameter tree to the left of the trail. It is the largest tree in the area, and has a sitting stump by it. Sit on the stump and take a compass reading of 115 degrees. About eight paces (one pace is two steps) away you will find a tree with a hollow in the base. Here is the Oak Leaf letterbox.
From here return to the gravel trail at post number 4 and turn right. Follow the gravel trail to the East back up the hill, past the cabin and to the dirt road back to the parking lot. Cross the parking lot and follow the sidewalk up to the main building marked "OFFICE". Once inside there are displays and information on the park's educational programs. Follow the hall to the left into the greenhouse. Under the plant bench to the left, behind the door, is a small shelf with the Orchid letterbox on it
I hope you enjoyed your visit to Westmoor Park. Please come again.
