Welcome to
the second decade
of this 21st century!
To ring in this new milestone, Le Grand Lodge has decided to freshen up its website. With our partner, Influenza, we have collaborated on a new site that will soon be launched and we hope it will make your online reservations easy and simple. In order to arouse your curiosity, we are pleased to present a teaser of our new homepage.
Of course, we will be sure to let you know when it will officially be launched, and the address remains the same (www.legrandlodge.com). We thank you in advance for sharing with us your comments and suggestions in order to bonify this new website, made for you.
Our partner Québec Resorts and Country Inns conducted a surprise visit at the end of November. Their judges inspected both our lodging amenities and our restaurant.
To our delight, we received a score of 90% for our hospitality related services and a perfect score for the entrée, main course and dessert with a total of 549 points on 558 for Chez Borivage. This confirms that we are living up to the high expectations of both our clients and our friends. Congratulations to the entire team!
See you soon by the fireside!

Ingredients - Curry Fennel
In a saucepan drizzled with olive oil, sauté the fennel at low heat. Add the curry, fleur de sel and pepper. Keep warm.
Blanch the sweetbreads in boiling water for 6 minutes then cool in cold water. Clean the sweetbreads by removing the skin and the small nerves then slice in escalope. Flour lightly and brown on each side in a saucepan drizzled with olive oil. Keep warm.
Add the shallots in the same saucepan then add the vinegar and the maple syrup. Cook until caramelized then add the veal stock and ginger and let it reduce.
Make a cross-like incision on the tops of the cherry tomatoes, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper then bake for 5 minutes at 350°.
Prepare the plates: first place the curry fennel then arrange the sweetbreads over top and pour the sauce around the edge of the plate. Add the cherry tomatoes and shavings of maple sugar.
Some tricks from the Chef's kitchen
When purchasing the sweetbreads make sure they are a good size, a milky color with a tint of pink and cook them soon after they have been purchased.
Before blanching the sweetbreads, soak them in lightly salted water for an hour. Change the water every 20 minutes.
Bon appétit !
Bartender's hint
A great bartender once shared with me an uncommon pearl of wisdom: «the best cocktails should never have more than 3 ingredients… and ice is one of the ingredients»! Too often there is a risk of masking the flavor of the main alcoholic drink when too many ingredients have been mixed together.
Here are some suggestions of delicious and simple combinations:
(serve in a tall glass with ice cubes)
Moderation and balance are key…
Here is a sampling of comments from our clients.

Re: Debating purchasing an '09 SRX V8, and have a few questions....
I have an 09 AWD SRX. Had it a year now. Love the vehicle overall except for the fuel economy. Have to run super so gas is pricey. Caddy is super quick and handles like its on rails. Good luck in your search.

I'm thinking of a 2007 - 2009 V8 as well. What percent of V8's had the MRC shocks ? Thanks.
"had to have the torque converter replaced under warranty at 49k miles". This is making me a bit nervous. Is this a pattern failure for the 6 speeds ? Thanks.

How to Hook & Launch: Traction Mods for Street & Strip (S-A Design) (edition 2012)
by Dick Miller
Work details
How to Hook & Launch: Traction Mods for Street & Strip (S-A Design) by Dick Miller
No current Talk conversations about this book.
While it sounds rather simple, Mr. Miller explains that the physics behind drag racing is extremely complex, and that it can have a tremendous impact on the end result. He includes pictures which graphically support his writing. For example, he shows how not compensating for all the various forces at work in the car - from the engine to the driveshaft and rear axle - can nearly roll a car as it accelerates. He also has some impressive pictures of cars which had enough traction but not enough forward compensation to keep their front ends from rising too high. One Mustang looks as if it were about to flip over!
I like pictures.
The majority of this book addresses modifications necessary to the suspension and tires. In the latter portion of the book, Mr. Miller discusses other components of the automobile which can be adjusted or augmented in order to increase the chance of victory. Miller is quite outspoken about what he prefers, but he does write with forty years of experience in this field. As he explains in the book, he has basically used the same kind of automobile for all those years, and has tried a lot of different parts in the quest for more speed with control. Forty years experience is something I would not scoff at.
This book made me realize just how much there is to an automobile that I don't understand. After a while, I concluded that this book is a lot like any medical textbook, where if one does not understand the terminology, it is very difficult to appreciate what the author is saying. But this book was not written for folks like myself who have enough trouble remembering to get the oil changed on our cars regularly. I would recommend this book for the serious drag racer who wants to win.
I read this book with my father and we couldn't get enough of it. It has it all from visuals to help you go step by step on how to modify your car, lists of ways on how to hook it up and just information galore. This book is a must for racing fans everywhere interested in hooking and launching thier mods for the streets.

Welcome to Ward 10
Our ward includes the vibrant and diverse neighborhoods of East Harriet, East Calhoun, Lowry Hill East, CARAG and Whittier. Ward 10 neighborhoods are an eclectic mix of renters, who make up 70% of the Ward's population, and homeowners.
People are drawn to the area's mix of housing choices and our high quality of life. Ward 10 is home to beautiful lakes and trails, well-loved neighborhood parks, thriving local businesses, a vibrant arts scene, and the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. In addition to new apartment developments, a growing number of office spaces, including the CoCo co-working space, are adding job destinations to Ward 10.
Council Member Lisa Bender was elected to serve Ward 10 on November 5, 2013. Her first term priorities are:
- Reopen Nicollet Avenue at Lake Street
- Implement the Nicollet-Central Streetcar line
- Build a network of protected bikeways, starting with the adoption of a network plan
- Citywide composting with curbside organics pickup
Our Work Ahead
After two jam-packed years in office we are excited and ready for 2016. Thank you to all of you who have been involved in our community, the creativity and passion you bring to our work together and all that you do to enhance our neighborhoods through your businesses and homes. We appreciate every call and email, all of the hours you spend volunteering on neighborhood boards and city boards and commissions and at the many nonprofit organizations in the 10th ward. Matthew, Ben and I are looking forward to working with each of you in the coming year and beyond.
I wanted to give an update on the major policy changes, infrastructure and neighborhood projects that we've been working on and plan to take on in 2016. We also love hearing from you about your ideas and priorities.
This year, I will continue to spearhead citywide changes that support affordable housing options to ensure that as our city's population grows again people aren't priced out of their communities. With record-setting investment and development, I will also continue to work along with staff and my fellow City Planning Commissioners on project-by-project improvements as well as policy changes that demand the best from new development. We will continue our work to expand transportation choices and especially make it safer and easier to walk, bicycle and take transit. I will also continue to support policies that protect public and environmental health and advocate for racial and economic justice including workplace protections that reflect our changing economic realities. This year, staff will begin work on the Comprehensive Plan and, as Chair of the Zoning and Planning Committee, I will work with the Mayor's office, and Transportation and Public Works Chair Kevin Reich to lead this important work which will outline a plan for public and private investment in our city over the next 30 years.
What this doesn't capture is all of the day-to-day work we do together with all of you. Please keep your emails and calls coming; your ideas inspire us and direct our work. We are always here to help with any question or challenge that we can help solve. It is such an honor to serve and work with you.
Here are just a few of the things we've already accomplished in 2014 and 2015, and I will continue to work on in 2016.

- Built the City's first two-way protected bikeway along 36th Street to Lake Calhoun and creating a pedestrian space on the south side of 36th Street along the cemetery for the first time (2014).

- Continuing support for engineering work and funding strategies for Nicollet-Central streetcar (ongoing).
- Developing a complete streets policy for the city that prioritizes walking, bicycling and transit users for adoption in 2016 (underway).
Advancing Racial and Economic Justice:

- Supported a study to determine the effects of a local or regional minimum wage increase (2015, study report due in 2016).

Protecting our Health and the Environment:

- Supported expansion of farm stands, strengthened requirements for healthy foods at corner stores, and added e-cigarettes to Minneapolis' Clean Indoor Air Act (2014).
- Declared October to be Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the City of Minneapolis for the first time and declared October 13 to be Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day (2014).
- Secured funding for curbside composting service for all of Minneapolis (2015).

How Chiropractic Helps Relieve Pinched Nerve Pain In Fayetteville
People who have pinched nerves should really consider visiting a Fayetteville Chiropractor. Many people will tell you that you should see a physical therapist if you have a pinched nerve in your back or wrist, but a visit to a chiropractor is an excellent choice. Because they are great in their field, chiropractors can help manage pain that is caused by a pinched nerve.
Pinched nerves can come from a number of different things. Often times they occur when someone sleeps in an awkward position too often. Many athletes get pinched nerves from large amounts of strenuous activity. Car collisions and other sudden impacts can cause pinched nerves as well.
Misalignment of the joints can affect the central nervous system in the body. Chiropractors help with the manipulation of the spine. Chiropractors are fantastic in their field and they have studied the nervous system as well of the musculoskeletal system. If someone has a pinched nerve then it can affect other functions of the body resulting in longer healing times and people who are often sick.
Pinched nerves occur when there is pressure on the nerve from surrounding tissue. This can be from bone, muscle or cartilage pushing against the nerve. When this happens many people experience tingling and pain around the nerve.
People can experience a pinched nerve almost anywhere in the body. If you are having severe back pain it could be caused by a herniated disk pinching a nerve in your back. Severe wrist pain could be Carpal Tunnel syndrome, caused by a pinched nerve in the wrist.
With rest many people can recover from a pinched nerve within a few weeks. Other people have a harder time recovering from pinched nerves. If this is the case with you, you should consider contacting a Fayetteville chiropractor.
No matter what type of pain you are suffering, a Fayetteville chiropractor is skilled at reducing the effects of the trauma. Learn more tips and holistic approaches at http://fayettechiropractic.com .

By Allie Jane Bruce
Set in the 1950s in the fictional town of Two Mills, PA, The Warden's Daughter tells the story of 12-year-old Cammie's spiral into depression and rage as she is forced to finally come to terms with her mother's death and her own impending young-adulthood.
I find much in this book troubling, but first and foremost Boo Boo's character--or should I say caricature? To me, she reads as little more than a stereotype of a sassy Black woman. Here's an excerpt:
"Now," Boo Boo went on, "she be up there"--she gestured toward the apartment--"snootin' around with y'all. Like she live there…" She reached down between her bosoms and pulled out a huge red bandana. She dusted my face with it, made me laugh. "Y'all tell your daddy, fire that arnge hair and hire on Boo Boo. Boo Boo'll do him some dustin' like he ain't never seen!"
Here, we see a Black woman caricatured and dehumanized (her speech and "bosoms" add to the stereotype) asking, like a good mammy figure, to do some cleaning for her paternalistic White prison warden. I wonder how many times this will be read aloud in classrooms, and how the above section will land with Black students (particularly Black girls) in the room. I also ask: why is Boo Boo the only one with a nickname (Boo Boo? seriously?) rather than a real name?
Boo Boo's function in the book goes from (stereotypical) comic relief to (spoiler) her suicide, which serves to propel Cammie even further into depression and self-destruction. So, this Black character is functionally a non-humanized tool used to further the complex White main character's development--a pattern that's been identified as a problem in stories from Blood Diamond to To Kill a Mockingbird.
I also question the taste and wisdom of presenting a nostalgic, voyeuristic view of prison (centering a White warden and his daughter) with no racial examination or unpacking. No book is published or exists in a vacuum, and publishing The Warden's Daughter in the face of public cries to examine mass incarceration seems willfully ignorant at best. In a time when we need children's books that shine a light on the structural racism embedded in the prison system, I hope that authors and publishers have more, and better, books in store. Those seeking more relevant and topical prison stories might try Jacqueline Woodson's Miracle's Boys and After Tupac and D Foster. Other ideas? Leave them in the comments!

Cantu to be installed as Las Cruces diocese bishop
LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — Rev. Oscar Cantu is scheduled to be installed as bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Las Cruces.
Las Cruces Sun-News reports (http://bit.ly/VdOAIN) [auth] that the 46-year-old Houston-native will be installed Thursday and will become only the second bishop of the diocese. He is replacing Bishop Ricardo Ramírez, who retires after serving as bishop of the 46-parish and 45-mission diocese since October 1982.
Cantu says among his first goal is to get to know the priests of the diocese. He says he's also concerned about the low number of priests and wants to push church vocations and education.

Watch & Listen: Tom Morello's 'Pacific Rim' Song & Extended TV Spot
by Ethan Anderton
June 25, 2013
Source: Facebook, Rolling Stone
With just over a couple weeks until release, the hype machine for Pacific Rim is wrapping up, and one of the final touches is this extended, 2-minute TV spot with plenty of action. It's getting to the point that if you're not convinced that the new film from Guillermo del Toro is something to be witnessed on the big screen, then it's a lost cause. Plus, for the music fans, the title theme track from the film's soundtrack from composer Ramin Djawadi and Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello (the two collaborated on the original Iron Man soundtrack) has just been unveiled, and it's quite an epic orchestral rock track.
Here's the new extended TV spot for Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim from Facebook:
And here's the title track from the Pacific Rim soundtrack, via Rolling Stone:
Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth) is directing Pacific Rim from a script by Travis Beacham. The film follows a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi), who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger, a massive robot designed to fight legions of monstrous creatures known as Kaiju, which started rising from the sea years ago. They stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse. The film also stars Idris Elba, Ron Perlman, Charlie Day and Clifton Collins Jr. Warner Bros will release Pacific Rim in theaters in 3D on July 12th. Are you ready?

Dark Horse To Deliver 'Dr. Horrible' One-Shot
Though it's hard to know whether there will be much singing (a mechanism that doesn't work very well in comics) in it, Dark Horse will unleash a brand new comic spun from Joss Whedon's "Dr. Horrible" universe this fall.
While fans initially suspected the comic would collect previously-published comic strips from the Web, Dark Horse promised all new material at Comic-Con, which seems supported by the concepts that have sprung up at artist Joelle Jones ("You Have Killed Me") at Superpouvoir and Blog@.
In addition to Neil Patrick Harris' grim Dr. Horrible visage, Jones has sketched Penny, Moist and Captain Hammer with playfully accurate actor likenesses.
The issue will be written by Whedon's brother Zack, who, along with Jed Whedon, contributed to "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" in the music department. Perhaps there will be a musical element within the title after all?

Ally mobile banking will arrive in 2012, and we know many of you are eager to learn more. Here, we'd like to answer some questions we've received and give you more insight into the upcoming Ally mobile experience.
What can I expect during the first phase of the Ally mobile rollout?
We'll be rolling out Ally mobile banking in several phases during 2012. During our first rollout in early 2012, you'll be able to:
- Log in and see your account activity, balances and a detailed transaction history.
- View your checking, savings, and IRA account details.
- Transfer money between your Ally accounts.
- Find ATM and cashback locations.
What can I expect from later rollouts of Ally mobile?
Later in 2012, we'll add even more mobile features including the ability to send money to other people with Popmoney, the ability to move money between Ally and other banks, paying bills, the ability to make check deposits with your phone's camera, plus more.
Which devices will Ally support for mobile banking?
The first rollout of mobile banking will feature native applications for Android-powered phones, as well as the iPhone. During this first rollout, you'll also be able to access your Ally Bank accounts from any web-enabled phone through its mobile web browser.
What about BlackBerry and Windows users?
We're working on a BlackBerry application to be released during one of the later phases of our rollouts in 2012. Before then, BlackBerry and Windows users will be able to access and manage their accounts through the web browser on their web-enabled mobile phone.
We want to make sure we're addressing your questions and including you in the conversation so feel free to contact us about mobile banking via Facebook or Twitter. We look forward to keeping you updated on our progress, so be sure to keep your eye on the Straight Talk blog for further details and updates.

'Training the Mentor' is the brainchild of Karen Hambleton-O'Grady, owner of Simply Mentoring. The three-day program trains brokers to become professional mentors and teaches them how to effectively attract and retain new recruits.
Ms Hambleton-O'Grady, who joined the industry as a broker in 2001, told The Adviser that having a mentor guiding her during her first few months "was probably the best thing that happened" for her career.
"I hadn't come from a banking background, so having a mentor even for a few months was why I stayed, because I knew there were people out there who you could actually ask questions of," she said.
"We teach existing brokers how to recognise and understand the behaviours behind a successful person and someone who is going to flag in those first few months."
Once qualified, mortgage brokers can act as mentors to their colleagues using their own program or Simply Mentoring's 'Success is a Choice' course.
Ms Hambleton O'Grady said the 'Success is a Choice' program assists those new to the mortgage broking industry overcome "roadblocks in the way of success".
"One is confidence, one is that product knowledge, one is not understanding that you're in sales, and one is not knowing how to structure a business," she said.
"The program is written around those four areas – getting the business ready, getting it sales ready, getting yourself client ready, and getting yourself product ready.
"We teach brokers the four key ingredients for success – the four behaviours that need to be in place for someone to continually have success."

We have been using Mellingers for the last 10 years. Very prompt, courteous, friendly, and a good value. Last year cost us $212.00 + $4.00 delivery for a ton of nut delivered and chuted into the basement through the window. Plus a $20.00 tip to the driver. He gets it from Reading Anthracite. Its great quality nut and it burns very clean and thorough as long as you are burning it right and hot. If you are not burning it right and hot, you get uneven burning coal and excessive sootage. Heck, the first thing I do every year is burn one very hot for an hour at full blast. That blasts alot of the sottage that does develop over time.
We have limited outdoor storage space as well, so I built a tiny room in the corner at the window in the basement for coal storage. Works like a breeze and since its confined, no coal dust in the remainder of the basement from the chuting.

PGT Cuts Back its Workforce
PGT Inc., the Florida-based manufacturer of windows and doors, is decreasing its workforce by 10 percent today as part of a restructuring. The company said today the restructuring comes as a result of continued analysis of its target markets, internal structure, projected run-rate, and efficiency.
"These actions were necessary given the continuing difficult economic environment and the severe downturn in the housing market, and we are thankful for contributions made by the effected employees," said Rod Hershberger, PGT's president and CEO. The move is expected to save the company approximately $6 million.
The latest job cuts follow a March 2008 restructuring which reduced PGT's workforce by approximately 17 percent. The company reports overall that the number of workers at its facilities in Florida and North Carolina is down 40 percent from its peak in September 2006.
More information concerning savings and costs associated with the restructuring will be provided in with PGT's next earnings release. The publicly-traded company is scheduled to report its 2008 fiscal year earnings on Feb.18.


text: thunderbuggy July 15, 2014 12:11 PM Well, I guess Boullier's comments about Button aren't colored by contract negotiations like Ron Denis' recent negative commentary. When Button left Brawn and went to McLaren, I and everyone else thought that McLaren were on the upsurge. Then Martin Whitmarsh had to go and screw the pooch with his "brilliant" ideas about basically remaking the whole chassis in the last year of the formula. When are thee boobs going to give Button a decent car so he can win another W.D.C.? Button certainly has the talent, but the big question is does McLaren still have the talent? Well, Mr. Denis, if you hadn't been a big player in the Ferrarigate scandal, maybe you could still be closely associated enough with the F1 team to give it some positive direction!

Timekeeping Icon: Rolex Cosmograph Daytona
Today, the Daytona is one of Rolex's most popular models, and no one is surprised when a rare vintage model achieves a half-million dollar hammer price at auction. This is ironic, because not that long ago, Rolex dealers could hardly give these models away. It's not too often that a watch goes from a sales dud to a piece for which people will wait years (just for the honor of paying full retail price), but that's what makes the Daytona such a fascinating story.

Sgt. Pepper%27s Lonely Hearts Club Band %28reprise%29 by The Beatles Songfacts
This is an upbeat reprise of the first song and title track of the album. A "concept album," it was produced as if Sgt. Pepper's was a real band.
This song was produced in a rush when The Beatles decided to bring back the theme song to introduce the last track on the album, "
A Day In The Life
." The idea to reprise the song came from Neil Aspinall, The Beatles' friend and road manager.
The audience sounds were dubbed in to make it sound live.
John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison shared lead vocals.

Like this one better then the one starting it off. And love Ringo's drumming.
Jennifur Sun - Ramona
In the intro, you can hear,
But if you isolate the vocals, you can here, "Twist it. What? Twist it. Ah. Shake it"
Sean - Cranston, Ri
I like Paul McCartney's cover of it in back in the u.s.
Veve - Lorain, Oh
Sgt Pepper Reprise is a reappearance of introductory theme of Sgt Pepper and then is cross-faded with crowd applause into "A Day in the Life
Giovanni - Lynhurst, Nj
Amazing, Ringo kicks ass. Hell they all do!
Freddy - Miami, Fl
When Paul is counting in, it sounds like someone says "I know" under "two".
K - Nowhere, On
Aspinall said that in every Beatles live show, before the last number, they'd thank the audience and announce that they were going to do their last song. He suuggested that since this album was supposed to be in lieu of a live show, they come up with a song that would do the same thing.
Ken - Louisville, Ky
Just before they go into the vamp at the very end, leading into "A Day In The Life", you can hear John say "Bye" very softly.
Reed - New Ulm, Mn
At the very end of the song, I hear John saying something like "hold my guitar for me" and Paul saying "Sgt. Pepper's Band!"
Peter Griffin - Quahog, Ri
LOVe the beat. Go Ringo!
Rosario - Naples, Fl
Great song. It's better than the first version!
Matthew - Melbourne, Australia
I love the reprise, it's so lively. Especially when they say "one and only lonely hearts club band", it almost sounds as if it were a live, spontaneous little add-in.
Maha - Auckland, New Zealand
This song sounds a lot like Jimi Hendrix in guitar tone and it features progressive tonality a trait the Beatles exhibited in many of the songs of this time period.
Joe - Montvale, Nj
The first reprise song of rock music and intrestingly there is three seperate versions of Sgt Peppers the title song,the reprise and the Sgt Pepper Inner Groove most likely the first hidden track in rock.
Sal - Bardonia , Ny
I disagree. The 1st one is much better than the reprise.
Daniel - Cincinnatti, Or
I like the original best but they're both pretty similair.
Jon - Oakridge, Or
during the Paul McCartny is Dead Hoax it was rumoured that teh bye inbetween the 3 and the 4 was johns way of saying goodbye to paul
Matt - Leicester, England
It's actually John saying, "Look up....bye". The 'look up' part is barely audible, but nonetheless there.
Kevin Murphy - Ridgewood, Nj
I always thought it was George saying "bye". Whoever it is, I love that part. Fabulous album!
Joe - Lethbridge, Canada
I agree with everyone else here. The reprise is better than the standard. Both are great, but the reprise is still better.
Ian - Lethbridge, Canada
This is like a modern beat...groundbreaking.
Linus - Hamilton, On, Canada
Pepper was also recorded in mono. The mix is different on this track and the 'bye' part is much easier to hear.
Don - Newmarket, Canada
This is so much better than the regular verison. I love this concept album.
Deo - Annandale, Va
John can be heard at the beginning counting to four, and someone else (rumors are Paul) saying bye, as if telling the audience they are getting to leave. The original album was compiled in such a way that all the songs lead seamlessly into each other (this song follows "Good Morning, Good Morning"), the audience sounds dubbed in, and the background sound effects, making it sound like this album was recorded at a live concert.
Patrick - Tallapoosa, Ga
I love the feel of this song, its very rocky and strong. It has a bigger/heavier feel to it, to be honest, i like it better then the original.
Gregor - Toronto, Canada
I have noticed that there are some voices in the first 18 seconds or so speaking very quietly. Does anyone know what they are saying?
Ron - Kansas City, Mo
Calum, I thinks he's saying "lonely hearts band". Very kool idea to ends it this way before a very kool song(A Day In The Life).
Mauricio - Hanford, Ca
I have an 'anorak' question, aka 'spotter' in British as opposed to US English. Anyway - does anyone know what Paul is shouting in the background as this song fades out (the words sung are 'hearts club band')?
Calum - Edinburgh, Scotland
On the U.S. 8-track release of the "Sgt. Pepper" album, this song was artificially lengthened by editing in a repeat of the verse. This was done to accommodate the goofy 8-track format, which demanded that all four tracks of the tape be as close to the same length as possible, so there wouldn't be a big gap of silence at the end of the last one.
Mike - Youngstown, Oh
The reprise is the better one.
Don - Philadelphia, Pa
Brilliant idea to reprise the title track. I can hardly believe it wasn't part of the original plan.
Paulo - New York, Ny
The reprise is better than the opening with the same name.
Tyson - Ruidoso, Nm
The anthology version has more of a rock "kick" to it.
Greg - Little River, Sc
I love the reprise, especially when they say "Sgt. Pepper's One and Only Lonely Hearts Club" really fast.
Jason Lee - New York, Ny

Fabulous holiday home
We have just returned from a fantastic holiday with our 3 teenage children. This house is ideally located for exploring Brittany. The house is modern & open plan downstairs, it has all mod cons, including very comfortable beds & fantastic bathroom facilities. The owners family were really helpful during our stay, with plenty of suggestions for great places to visit.
I would highly recommend this property. Thanks for letting us share it for our holiday
ideal location
We have enjoyed our stay in Lanhouarneau. The gite is well maintained, comfortable and in a quiet location in the village. The owners are very helpful, kind and efficient.
Lanhouarneau is near Lesneven, an attractive town with shops and large supermarkets on the edge of the town.
This area of Finistere has a special Breton atmosphere. The coast is only 15 minutes by car where there are sandy beaches, spectacular rocks and beautiful walks by the sea. There are menhirs, chapels and lighthouses.
We visited the restored fishing village of Meneham. There is a small museum about the history of the area, the fishermen and the seaweed gatherers. There are craft shops and a good auberge.
The gite is only half an hour from Roscoff and the ferry to Plymouth,England if you use this route, so it is in an ideal location.
comfort in the country
A peaceful pretty location, well placed for the ferry and visiting other parts of Brittany.
The house was very spacious with a huge enclosed garden and patio, making it safe for families with children. It was well-equipped with everything you could possibly need on holiday, comfortable beds and light and airy.
Restaurants and supermarkets were a short drive away and Lesneven has services you may need (pharmacy, dentist...)
I would thoroughly recommend it to all families or groups of friends for a quiet relaxing holiday. The owners were really helpful and friendly and responded very promptly to all emails. We would love to come back - you can't have a better recommendation than that!
Activity and Interests
The beaches on the north Brittany coast are a 15 minute drive. Keremma (the closest) offers several miles of dunes and white sand and is a nature reserve. Porsmeur is just slightly further and part of Plouescat but offers facilities and restaurants. Travel along the coast in either direction and take your pick of secluded bays and fishing villages, or more popular beaches like Santec, Cleder and Roscoff, that have more facilities.

"Impact Fees" Could Jack up Your SAWS Bill
With San Antonio experiencing massive growth and new homes being constructed at a near record rate, the question of who should pay to hook those new homes up to the San Antonio Water System will emerge this eek, and may pit developers against ratepayers, 1200 WOAI news reports.
The SAWS board will decide whether to charge developers the full $2,796 per home charge, called an 'impact fee,' to hook an estimated 95,817 new homes that will be built in the city over the coming decade up to the SAWS water and sewer system.
"We have always charged impact fees to new development, to pay for the impact that development has on the water and sewer system and on our water supply," SAWS Vice President Greg Flores told 1200 WOAI news.
State laws don't mandate that SAWS charge developers the maximum, or that the water utility charge developers anything at all for hooking up to the water system. Developers who serve on the SAWS Capital Improvements Advisory Committee are suggesting that the impact fees be slashed to $1,590 per home, on the argument that all San Antonians benefit from growth, so all San Antonians should share in the cost.
And Flores says that's exactly what would happen if the impact fee were set at that level.
"If it is not paid by developers, it would be paid by rate payers," he said.
He says the result would be a 2.57% increase in your monthly SAWS bill, spread out over the coming ten years.
The environmental group Greater Edwards Aquifer Authority is urging the SAWS board to approve the full $2,796 per new home fee for developers.
"Since many of these new developments will likely be on the Edward Aquifer Recharge, Transition, and Contributing Zones, GEAA objects to requiring all citizens of San Antonio to subsidize new development, GEAA Executive Director Annalisa Peace said.
Peace points out that local taxpayers already to plenty of subsidizing of new development, from stretching water and sewer lines to new subdivisions, to paying for maintaining streets, to dealing with additional traffic congestion.
The issue will go to the City Council after the SAWS Board has it's say...and a final ruling is expected in May.

Facing Uphill Battle, Van de Putte Begins Lt. Gov. Campaign
Veteran San Antonio State Senator Leticia Van de Putte has begun her uphill battle to become the first female Lieutenant Governor in the state's history, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Van de Putte, along with her campaign entourage, set out from the Firefighters Hall on the city's northwest side Sunday on a bus tour to introduce herself to the state. Despite having a high profile in San Antonio and in the Legislature, Van de Putte is relatively unknown statewide, and isn't the media darling that her running mate, governor candidate Wendy Davis, has become.
"From the Rio Grande Valley to El Paso to the Gulf Cost," Van de Putte said of her 15 city, nine day tour."
While Van de Putte is campaigning, it still remains unclear who she will face in the general election. State Sen. Dan Patrick and incumbent Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick are in a runoff that will be decided on May 27th.
"While they are shouting at each other, they have failed to listen to the voices of working families," Van de Putte said.
Letitica San Miguel Van de Putte, 59, was born in Washington State, where her father was stationed at Fort Lewis. But her family is originally from San Antonio, and she returned to The Alamo City. She graduated from the University of Texas and attended the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
"I am focusing on mainstream Texas families, who don't always participate in the primary process," Van de Putte said. "But they vote in November, and it is those folks who I am listening to. The Republicans definitely are not listening."
Van de Putte would also become the first Hispanic Lieutenant Governor in Texas. Considered to be one of the most thoughtful and mainstream Democrats in the Texas Legislature, she is given a fair chance of becoming the first Democrat elected to statewide, non judicial office since Bob Bullock won the job she now seeks back in 1994. Van de Putte's chances will be greater, analysts agree, if the hard-right Patrick is the Republican nominee. Many experts give Van de Putte better odds of winning the Lieutenant Governor's race than Davis has to be elected governor. The two do not run as a 'ticket,' like the Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates, but both have made clear their campaigns will support each other.
But it is still a hard climb for Van de Putte, in a state where Republicans still rule politics, and where President Obama has, if anything, become even more unpopular over the last four years.

Jun 8, 2012 - By Bruce Tippets, Sports EditorMidway through the 2012 Riverton Little League baseball season, the Cardinals have built a two-game advantage in the five-team division.
The Cardinals are enjoying first place with a 6-2 record. The Cardinals dropped a 3-2 decision to the Cubs on Wednesday night at Ron Saban Baseball Complex.
The major league is for players 11-12 years old.
"It has gone pretty well up to Wednesday night," Cardinals manager Mike Fisher said. "Everybody was flat on Wednesday."
The story of the first half of the season has been the pitching in the league.
Kyren Higgs and Matt Fisher pitched for the Cardinals on Wednesday evening.
"We usually don't give up a lot of runs because we have very good pitching," Fisher said. "We didn't hit very well against the Cubs."
In the win for the Cubs, Alek Phifer started on the mound and went 35 pitches. The Cubs sit at 4-4.
Jayce Leach and Peyton Rees closed out the game vs. the Cardinals on the mound.
"We had a lot of good pitching with the Cardinals," Cubs manager Jeremy Saltsgaver said. "We are playing the field a lot better now."
Saltsgaver said the victory on Wednesday night was the best win of the season.
"It was the first time that Jayce has pitched," Saltsgaver said. "Alek had pitched one game before, but that was the first game he had ever started. He did awesome for us. We have a lot of pitchers that can pitch."
The Yankees are 4-5, the A's stand at 5-5, and the Rockies check in at 2-5.
The season is 16 games.
The league started doubleheaders this week. The games in the major league division are played on Mondays and Wednesdays, starting at 5:30 p.m. and 8 p.m.
"Doubleheaders are difficult to do because you have a limitation on pitchers to pitch in one day, but you also have restrictions on catchers and how many they can catch and pitch on the same day," Fisher said.
A different rule for Little League this year is that a player who throws 41 or more pitches in a game cannot be moved to the catcher position for the remainder of the game.
If a player catches four innings or more, then he can't pitch the same day.
"There is a lot of thinking going on during the games," Rockies coach Travis Draper said.
Pitching rules
If a player throws 66 pitches or more, the player must have four days rest.
The most a pitcher can pitch in a game is 85 pitches.
Pitchers throwing up to 20 pitches don't have to rest in between games.
From 21 to 35 pitches, one day of rest must be allowed. If a pitcher throws 36 to 50 pitchers, two days rest must be given.
After 51 to 65 pitchers, the player must have three days off before pitching again.
"We have slumped a little bit this week," Yankees manager Scott Fabricus said. "We have had some kids gone for different things.
Depth has been a little bit of an issue. I'm optimistic that we will turn it back around."
Fabricus said Dillon Fabricus, Cameron Wilcox, Hunter Bradshaw and Jordan Cabada all are in the pitching staff for the Yankees.
The veteran leaders for the A's are Ridge McCoy, Kobe Matsen and Chase Garcia.
"We need to improve a little bit on our batting," A's manager Jeremy Martinez said. "Our pitching is coming around. We are starting to get some of our veteran players to be leaders of the team."
McCoy plays first base and pitcher.
Matsen is a catcher and pitcher. Garcia is the second baseman and also pitches.
The Rockies are fresh off a 4-3 victory over the A's on Wednesday night to get their second win of the season.
James Hampton pitched the complete game. "James pitched really well," Draper said.
Jaren Draper, Dalton Lassiter and Hampton are the top three pitchers on the roster.
"It's fun to see the players progress," Draper said. "I wish the season was longer."

One morning, before going to the field, the Godmother placed Tom on the floor as usual, and then went out to get speckle.
No one else could detect a spot or speckle on her at a casual glance.
speckle and her rooster, as Lady Fluff says, have a large and constantly increasing family, which now numbers fifteen.
To be sure, Mrs. speckle did not keep a looking-glass, and I suppose poor Brownie had no idea how very absurd he looked.
There was no speckle of light to classify and ignore, no susurrus of air molecules raining against the eardrum.
One day speckle, the big hen, made a great fuss because her brood of ducklings went into the water.
The other three little ones were there watching "speckle" and her brood with intense interest.
Out of the yard bounded Rover barking heartily and, from her stall, speckle mooed a welcome.
The hills around, which stand up darkly against a speckle of stars, are all discussed for you.
Hoyle had the peas in a tin pail, and mother rode Aunt Sally's speckle and carried the biscuit in a pan on front.
c.1400 (implied in speckled), probably related to Old English specca "small spot, speck" (see speck) or from a related Middle Dutch or Middle High German word. Related: Speckled; speckling. The noun is first attested mid-15c.

Have spent the past six months absorbing as much information as I can about waterfowling with a four legged companion. My crew and I did a lot of research and picked up our lab pup two weeks ago. The pups comes from a very long line of proven performers so I am 99% sure he has the brains to become the dog my kids, wife, and I hope for.
The problem is me - I have never trained a retriever before. I believe the best thing I can do is find a reputable trainer and hook up with them and learn as much as I can first hand.
Who would recommend and/or anyone to stay away from?
Looking roughly 4hrs or closer from Toledo.
If it helps, our goal is a goose/duck dog first and possibly work upland as he gets some experience.

Forging connections for change.
Not only is that a main goal of members of the Center for Community Growth, it's also the theme of their 2014 film series that aims to tackle a challenging aspect of activism — getting cause-supporters to come together for change.
The Center for Community Growth is an Indiana-based organization that aims to unite people who believe in progressive, democratic principles, nonviolence and civic engagement, according to the center's brochure.
This year's series features panels that will host advocates for different progressive causes.
The first film, "Inequality for All," will be shown Friday. The film examines the income divide, and will be accompanied by a panel discussion that details what kind of action the community could take to strengthen the middle class in Indiana County.
Doors for the films open at 6:30 p.m., when refreshments will be available. Panel discussions will begin at 7 p.m., and the film will start at 7:30 p.m. at the Indiana Theater along Philadelphia Street.
On the panel for Friday's film are Dr. Brandon Vick, economist in the IUP Department of Economics; Dr. Jody Sibold, nutritionist; Dianne Reese-Walters, executive director of the Chevy Chase Community Center; and Dr. Jim Dougherty, director for the Center of Northern Appalachian Studies.
Four other films are already scheduled for the series.
"Each film has a call to action with it," said Eric Barker, a center member who helps coordinate the series.
For Friday's film, he said, participants are encouraged to bring monetary or food donations for the Indiana County Community Action Program. All of the proceeds will be donated to ICCAP following the event.
The next film in the series, to be shown Feb. 21, will be "Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare." The film, according to its website, is about "finding a way out. It's about saving the health of a nation."
"Miss Representation," in which mainstream media expose the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America, will be shown March 29. It features interviews with Katie Couric, Condoleezza Rice and Nancy Pelosi.
"GMO OMG," which investigates the effects of genetically engineered foods, will be featured on April 25.
"The House I Live In," which examines the war on drugs, will be shown on May 30.
"We had a really good showing last year and were pleased to have the premier sponsor, The First Unitarian Universalist Church of Indiana, pay for the theater and advertising around the events," said Barker.
Barker said that last year about 400 people attended the film series.
"It's important to get involved with local issues," he said. "It's more (the film series) to raise awareness of global issues and take specific action locally. A lot of times when you watch a documentary, there's no 'what's next?'"
The Center for Community Growth was involved with other projects in 2013, including the Indiana Farmers Market, in which it helped develop a new website. The center also sponsored a booth for local artisans.
It also created the Genetically Modified Organism Action Team, bringing awareness of the dangers of GMOs and importance of eating locally grown and organically grown foods, and a Non-Discrimination Action team that looks to bring an ordinance to Indiana Borough Council that prohibits discrimination in the workplace.
The Recycling Action team brought a petition in front of borough council for single stream recycling, with more than 300 signatures, that would allow borough residents to put plastics out with their recycling.
Barker is also the chairman of a radio show, "Center Radio," on WIUP-FM at 11 a.m. on Saturdays. The show features a different theme every month. On Saturday, the show will feature the ways that low-income individuals can get help in Indiana County.

thats a good read centermass.....good analysis!!!!!I'm really surprised at how many people are saying they would have just ran away. As I read the story he was putting himself between the attackers and his wife to defend her. Another thing that came to mind was that he could have just pulled the gun out and let them see. They may have changed their minds about attacking in the first place. Now, I'll beat you to it......Yes, he may have been charged with brandishing. I agree. But would you rather be on trial for brandishing or have all of the charges he had WITH a civil suit on top of that. I'll take brandishing. I was under the impression that in Arizona the law stated that quote: No duty to retreat before using force to prevent certain serious offenses, including aggravated assault. Again, this applies anywhere, any place a person has a legal right to be, in the language of the law...end quote
Aggravated assault:A person is guilty of aggravated assault if he or she attempts to cause serious bodily injury to another or causes such injury purposely, knowingly, or recklessly under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life; or attempts to cause or purposely or knowingly causes bodily injury to another with a deadly weapon. In all jurisdictions statutes punish such aggravated assaults as assault with intent to murder (or rob or kill or rape) and assault with a dangerous (or deadly) weapon more severely than "simple" assaults.
