Harpersfield Township is one of the twenty-seven townships of Ashtabula County, Ohio, United States. The 2010 census found 2,695 people in the township.[3]
Located on the northwestern edge of the county, it borders the following townships:
- Geneva Township - north
- Saybrook Township - northeast corner
- Austinburg Township - east
- Morgan Township - southeast corner
- Trumbull Township - south
- Thompson Township, Geauga County - southwest corner
- Madison Township, Lake County - west
Part of the city of Geneva is located in northern Harpersfield Township, and the unincorporated community of Unionville lies in the township's northwest.
Name and history[edit]
It is the only Harpersfield Township statewide.[4]
The township was first settled by Revolutionary War Colonel Alexander Harper and his family, who moved from Harpersfield, New York on June 28, 1798. Colonel Harper died there in September of that year.[5][6]
It is said that soon after landing, Colonel Harper placed his staff in the ground and dedicated a portion of land as a cemetery, and he himself was the first to be buried there; he being the first white person buried in the Western Reserve, whose grave can be identified. An appropriate monument bearing an inscription with the name and date of birth and death, and recounting the virtues of the pioneer and patriot still marks the spot. This cemetery is on the county line at Unionville village.[5]
Harpersfield Township was described in 1833 as having one store, two flouring mills, two saw mills, one fulling mill, and two forges.[7]
Points of interest[edit]
The Harpersfield Covered Bridge is located in Harpersfield Township.
The township is governed by a three-member board of trustees, who are elected in November of odd-numbered years to a four-year term beginning on the following January 1. Two are elected in the year after the presidential election and one is elected in the year before it. There is also an elected township fiscal officer,[8] who serves a four-year term beginning on April 1 of the year after the election, which is held in November of the year before the presidential election. Vacancies in the fiscal officership or on the board of trustees are filled by the remaining trustees.
Currently, the board is composed of chairman James Pristov and members Edward Demshar and Cliff Henry, and the fiscal officer is Sharon Rohrbaugh.[9]

bathtime conversations
Friday, March 2, 2012
Just a little slice of life. I recently bought that whale spout cover, and I love it. I have been meaning to get it for awhile now, but I'm sure you know how that goes. Things can stay on my list for weeks. I relax so much more at bath time now, though, because I don't have to worry about Vivi getting a scrape from the spout. Baths are definitely one of her most beloved activities at the moment. Do you have any favorite bath toys for your toddler? Our collection consists of a plastic boat, a foam book, a cup, and a duck. Vivi loves the book, but I'd like to find a couple more interesting things for the tub. Please comment if you have ideas!
A couple of other things for the weekend:
(1) Thanks to Seed Factory for the post today. Don't forget about the event next weekend if you will be in town! I would love to meet some of you, and the shop is too cute to miss if you haven't been there yet!
(2) Check out Lay Baby Lay's picks for adorable online boutique Darling Clementine, which is full of excellently curated baby items. More on that later!
Happy Friday!

Precious pictures! We have that whale too, and I feel the same way. I was always just waiting for my son to slip and catch the spout with his face :[ Sandra Boynton has a bath book called Bathtime and we love it. All her stuff is so cute!
Oh, fun! I love Sandra Boynton, so I'll have to check that out! Her books always make me (and Vivi!) laugh.
That is too cute. You have a soap eater… I have a water drinker. Eww! My Chloe loves her stacking cups, the ones with holes in them. She pretends its a shower. And she likes her foam letters. I think I got them at HomeGoods or Toys R Us. They stick to the shower walls and now that she's starting to learn her letters and knows her colours, we use them for all sorts of games.
Well, Vivi is a water drinker, too! I love those ideas – I'll have to try some letters. Thanks so much!
I second the foam letters. They are $3 at target and a huge hit.
Hi Joni! I just saw the post on Seed Factory. Great blog!!! I am in Atlanta and will try to stop by this Sat.
Oh, yay! Would love to see you!
My 16 month old loves these pigs that you wash by Alex toys. They come with a wash cloth and get dirty with water. She spends have the time washing the piggies than washing her leg : )
Awesome awesome photos.
Boon makes awesome bath toys!
Boon foam shapes are our favorite. I love to see the works of art my kids create, and I especially love that they are mildew resistant. The set we bought came with three plastic balls and two loofas. They are pretty much all they play with.
Just bought Miss Vivi (and cousin Conner) a couple of tub toys for Nana's house. I found them at Target. One, the water runs through it and little wheels turn and spin, the other, a duck checks the water temp. I hope she has fun with them the next time she comes to visit.
The battery operated duckies from Pottery Barn Kids that have a crown on them are a lot of fun! Vivi is getting so big! Adorable!!
The foam letters/numbers are great. My daughter learned all of them by 18 mos just from playing in the tub. We also have wash cloth puppets that are so fun b/c they 'eat' the letters & her hands etc.
Pretty much anything that can get wet we played with in the tub…measuring cups, mini watering can, beach toys…
Joni, I just saw an adorable recipe for DIY tub crayons on Pintrest… they are made out of soap and look so much fun. Vivi is just so precious!
so funny and beautiful photos!!!!!!! I love them

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 12.0382 Thursday, 15 February 2001
Date: Thursday, 15 Feb 2001 05:45:24 EST
Subject: 12.0359 Re: Lear's Estate Planning
Comment: Re: SHK 12.0359 Re: Lear's Estate Planning
Surely King Lear's division of the kingdom (which so many have sort to
explain in different ways) is merely a forgetful mis-reading or
under-reading of its predecessor King Leir which as Tolstoy rightly
pointed out actually makes sense. It strikes me that the debate about
'state' and 'unstate' may also not be wholly unrelated to this fact.
Shakespeare is not sui generis.

The controversy over Mormons' practice of posthumously baptizing Jewish Holocaust victims is in the news again.
The Associated Press reported
on yesterday's
American Gathering of Holocaust Survivors
(AGHS) press conference. The organization claims the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
hasn't enforced a 1995 agreement to permit its members to submit for posthumous baptism by proxy (often described as "temple work") names of only those Holocaust victims who are direct relatives.
Posthumous baptisms by proxy are central to Mormons' faith because the practice allows families to be reunited in the afterlife. They see the baptisms as an offer that the deceased individual can refuse; many Jews view the practice as disrespectful to those who were killed for their religious beliefs.
A researcher the AGHS hired reported finding several thousand names in the LDS church's genealogy databases, some submitted as recently as July.
The church removed Jews' names after the 1995 agreement, but told the Associated Press that since then a few well-meaning members have "acted outside of policy."
In a written response to the press conference
, the LDS church claims AGHS refuses to provide the names of the Holocaust survivors found in the database or respond to LDS proposals stemming from a Nov. 3 meeting of both organizations.
New FamilySearch, the online family tree tracking program slowly being released to church members (it'll eventually be publicly available), should help resolve the problem by discouraging mass submissions, and separating names intended for baptism from those submitted for genealogical purposes.

They should sue the Mormon church. The Mormons, like most Christian sects, have no respect for the religious beliefs of other cultures. Personally, I think all religions are just ignorant myths and superstitions. But the Mormons are one of the worst. The Jews should try to get a court order barring them from continuing this stupid practice and then jail anyone who doesn't comply.

The LDS Church believes and teaches that baptisms for the dead are only significant if the individual were to accept it in the afterlife. Otherwise, they say it has no consequence to anyone.
To them, it is as much a blessing to a grave as any other religion's, because they do not impose any judgment on any of the dead by doing this ordinance. My personal feeling is that those who do not believe in this practice, nor the LDS Church would not care if they do this or not.
Short example, while living in Bolivia, the government recognized a certificate of a baby's baptism in the Catholic Church as documentation to help an adult obtain a government ID. Great. Here in California, I don't think any church baptismal document helps. Point is, if other churches do not recognize a practice of another church, then it is insignificant. The LDS Church doesn't make assumptions that someone receiving a proxy baptism actually wants it. They don't count it as part of their membership and they do not do it as some last exertion of control over other religions.
They believe that everyone who accepts the Gospel needs a baptism and that you can only be baptized w/ a body of flesh and bones. And if someone does not believe this, they should not validate that it means something.
Last point, the Holocaust did happen and it was Jews that suffered and no one should confuse that with anything discussed.

I have several family members that have converted to the Mormon religion. I also have family members that are non-Mormon living in Salt Lake City. And I am not Mormon.
The treatment by the Mormons to my non-Mormon family living in Salt Lake is similar to what the Holocaust victims suffered. If they are your neighbors, they do not speak to you, you are shunned. Your children are also shunned. You can live on a very busy street and never see a neighbor as you are not Mormon. At school, your children are shunned as the Mormon children do NOT play with non-Mormons.
BUT share your hard work with a Mormom family member (aren't they supposed to be doing the family tree) and suddenly ALL your deceased family members become Mormon even when they were not when living.
I'm not bitter towards the Mormons, apparently the Mormons do not teach religious tolerance or if they do, they do not practice it.
Thursday, 13 November 2008 11:05:41 (Eastern Standard Time, UTC-05:00)
I have a problem with the LDS church thinking that a person of another religion needs LDS baptism. I know that my 4th great grandfather was baptized as a member of the Presbyterian Church and can only imagine his shock and dismay when someone tapped him on the shoulder on day in heaven and said, "You are now a Mormon."
The Mormons (and other churches) need to realize that baptism is baptism regardless of how or where it was done. Baptism is an outward sign of an inward and spiritual grace.
Thursday, 13 November 2008 12:43:15 (Eastern Standard Time, UTC-05:00)
I guess I really don't understand why the LDS church feels they have the right to baptize anyone. Baptism is not something that can happen after death - it is a repentance and exceptance of God's word while you are living. I am truly not trying to be disrespectful, but baptism after death won't help anyone so I don't quite get why they do it especially for people who haven't asked that it be done for their ancestors.

First, as genealogists we should be committed to a thorough investigation of facts using reliable sources before we form conclusions.
If anyone wants to understand this topic, a good place to start is a primary source---the LDS Church's statements which explain this practice. Two such statements can be found at:
Second, we might come to different conclusions based on what we read, but let's keep genealogy blogs a safe place for all of us to visit when we discuss our differences. Nobody likes to feel attacked. Thanks.

The other side of the story - the non-Mormon side - is on the JewishGen website at http://www.jewishgen.org/InfoFiles/ldsagree.html : "The Issue of The Mormon Baptisms
of Jewish Holocaust Victims And Other Jewish Dead."
Baptism of Jews and members of other religions by Mormons is disrespectful to the dead AND the living.

Hamas-Supporting Turkey Calls for No Complacency in Fight Against Terror (CNS) CYBERCAST NEWS SERVICE) By Patrick Goodenough 06/08/12)
Source: http://cnsnews.com/news/article/hamas-supporting-turkey-calls-no-complacency-fight-against-terror
CNS} CYBERCAST NEWS SERVICE Articles-Index-Top
(Editors update: Adds State Department comment regarding Israels non-participation in the counterterror forum, in second- and third- last paragraphs.)
(CNSNews.com) Turkeys foreign minister told an international forum Thursday that the fight against terrorism does not permit complacency about any particular terrorist organization, and he warned that terrorists will quickly seize upon and exploit any gap in international efforts.
The remarks, at the opening of a Global Counterterrorism Forum (GCTF) meeting in Istanbul, come from a government that wants international support for its campaign against the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) but has embraced the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas as a legitimate resistance movement.
The Obama administration last fall selected Turkey to co-chair the GCTF, a signature initiative in what the administration calls its smart power approach to counterterrorism. The forum comprises 29 countries, but controversially excluded Israel, despite that countrys long experience with terrorism.
Addressing the event alongside Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu warned that terrorists are in constant search of loopholes in our defenses and to adapt themselves accordingly.
While all of our countries are confronted by the threat of terrorism, it is a non-spoken reality that sometimes we have varying threat perceptions and national priorities vis-à-vis terrorist organizations and offenders, he said.
That said, I believe one thing is crystal clear to all of us: No country is immune from this threat and we cannot win the fight against terrorism unless we join hands. Moreover, this fight does not allow for complacency against any particular terrorist organization, irrespective of national threat perceptions or priorities.
Davutoglu said a counter-terrorism strategy will only deliver tangible results if it enjoys international cooperation and the true support of other nations. Any loophole in this chain, and terrorists will immediately zero in on that soft spot and capitalize on it.
He went on to make a case for international support for Turkeys struggle against the PKK.
We expect full support in this fight from the global community, in line with their international obligation, he said. The PKK should not be able to continue its activities abroad, particularly in Europe under seemingly legal structures and facade organizations. Their continuing ability to do so is an affront to us all.
The PKKs violent 28-year campaign for some form of Kurdish autonomy in south-eastern Turkey has cost the lives of almost 40,000 people three-quarters of them PKK members in a country with a population of 80 million.
Around 1,400 Israelis have been killed in terrorist attacks since 1987, the year Hamas was established as the Palestinian offshoot of Egypts Muslim Brotherhood. While many of those attacks were carried out by Fatah-affiliated and other groups, a study of suicide attacks during the first five years of the so-called second intifada that began in 2000 found Hamas responsible for 40 percent. Israels population is 6.8 million, of which 5.8 million people are Jewish.
The U.S. has designated Hamas as a foreign terrorist organization since 1997, but Turkeys Islamist-leaning government disagrees with that assessment.
Let me give you a very clear message, I dont see Hamas as a terror organization, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a vocal critic of Israel, told U.S. interviewer Charlie Rose in May 2011. It is a resistance movement trying to protect its country under occupation.
Recalling that Hamas had won Palestinian legislative elections in 2006, he said calling them terrorists, this would be disrespect to the will of the Palestinian people.
Hamas is a resistance group fighting to defend their land, Erdogan told Turkish media in 2010. I also told these to U.S. officials. I don´t accept Hamas as a terrorist organization.
Clinton told the GCTF meeting that the U.S. strongly supports Turkey in its fight against the PKK. Apart from al-Qaeda and affiliates, it was the only terrorist group she mentioned by name in her almost 1,600-word opening remarks.
The Turkish governments support for Hamas Erdogan has also met with its leaders is in line with the longstanding principle of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), as stated in its 1998 convention on combating international terrorism, that peoples struggle including armed struggle against foreign occupation shall not be considered a terrorist crime.
That stance by Muslim and Arab states, largely the result of their support for the Palestinian cause, has been a major hurdle blocking efforts at the United Nations to agree upon a universal definition of terrorism.
Upon its formation last September, the GCTF issued a political declaration that did not specifically define terrorism, but did include a condemnation of all acts of terrorism, which cannot be justified on any grounds whatsoever. Members expressed their continuing commitment to oppose terrorism irrespective of the motives of the perpetrators of such acts.
Composition aims to bridge Western-Islamic divisions
The political declaration also stated, We recognize the growing number of countries with relevant experience and expertise in countering and preventing terrorism, and we seek to maximize these assets through close cooperation.
Given that goal, Israels exclusion from the list of GCTF founder members was glaring. Israel is among the worlds leading targets of terrorism, and arguably a world leader in responding to the threat both in the government and private sector.
The makeup of the founding group indicates that the Obama administration views the initiative as part of its broader outreach to the Muslim world; eleven of the 29 countries are OIC members, some of which are hostile towards Israel.
A senior administration official, briefing reporters on background ahead of the meeting in Istanbul, confirmed the outreach aim.
The GCTF sought from the outset to bridge old and deep divides in the international community between Western donor nations and Muslim majority nations, he said. And it has, I think, done that quite effectively.
Apart from OIC and Western countries, the official noted that the rest included other great powers China, India, Russia as well as geographic representation from all continents. So that sort of explains the composition.
In response to queries about Israel and the GCTF, the State Department said in a statement Friday that the administrations idea with the forum was to bring together a limited number of traditional donors, front line states, and emerging powers develop a more robust, yet representative, counterterrorism capacity-building platform.
A number of our close partners with considerable experience countering and preventing terrorism are not included among the GCTFs founding members, it said. We have discussed the GCTF and ways to involve Israel in its activities on a number of occasions, and are committed to making this happen.
The 29 countries are Algeria, Australia, Canada, China, Colombia, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Morocco, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the United States. The European Union is also a member. (copyright 1998-2012 Cybercast News Service 06/08/12)

Super Eagles head coach, Stephen Keshi says it may be impossible to see a Nigeria team as good as the side that reached the second round of the 1994 Fifa World Cup finals in the United States.
The side coached by legendary Dutchman, Clemens Westerhof were just moments away from progressing to the quarterfinals of the 1994 World Cup before two late goals from Roberto Baggio sealed a 2-1 win for Italy who progressed to the last eight to face Spain instead.
Keshi has now taken the time to relive the memories of Nigeria's debut at the World Cup when the team received widespread acclaim for their exciting and expansive brand of football.
He identified Nigeria's opening group game against Bulgaria at Dallas' Cotton Bowl on 21 June as his best memory from that World Cup.
"Against Bulgaria, we were awesome. The team was special and that's why Nigerians are crying because we may never see a team like that again. That team was together for like six years," Keshi said on the Fifa World Cup moments programme on Fifa TV.
The "Big Boss' revealed that the reasons behind the team's breathtaking displays back then was the insistence of the players to always 'have fun' while also keeping their eyes firmly trained on the prize.
"The great thing about that team was that when we played, we had fun. The purpose of that game – to win – was a priority but we also had fun while playing.
"When the late Rashidi Yekini scored the first goal (in the 21st minute), we were out of this world. Bulgaria had great players like (Hristo) Stoichkov but we managed to win 3-0.
"That was a great moment for me at that World Cup," he said.
Nigeria will compete in Group F of the 2014 Fifa World Cup alongside Argentina, Iran and Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Paul Howes has form as a stirrer, and, unusually for a union leader, has published a book and given an address at the Sydney Institute urging Labor to encourage new ideas and tolerate dissent (''Industrial Revolution'', February 6).
Unfortunately, his call for a ''grand compaccalt'' with business and the Abbott government looks like an idea whose time has passed. The Hawke-era accord, when big unions, big business and the government agreed on wage outcomes and improvements to Medicare and superannuation was achieved by mutual trust and it is difficult to see Tony Abbott presiding over a similar conciliatory process.
At any rate, no one can call Paul Howes a faceless man.
James Moore Kingsgrove
Why don't we go further than that self-styled visionary Paul Howes' grand compact and the federal government's submission to the Fair Work Commission about the modernisation of workers' awards and conditions?
In the true interest of social and industrial equity, let us have a commission into all salaries, wages, directors' fees and honoraria, covering private business, the public service, politicians and their minions.
Many workers would feel less aggrieved if they could see that the same restraint in terms of earnings and conditions was being imposed on CEOs and management; small shareholders less aggrieved about remuneration reports if management and board directors' fees were more realistic; and voters less aggrieved about politicians and their expectations of citizens, if their salaries and allowances were scrutinised and restrained like everyone else's.
Valerie Reynolds Greenwich
The graph on page 7 of Thursday's Herald showing the movement in workers' hourly rates over the five years to June 2013 was interesting, informative and topical.
It is unfortunate that, for comparative purposes, there was not an accompanying graph illustrating the movement in executive remuneration over the same period.
Col Nicholson Hawks Nest
I don't know what the so-called union leader Paul Howes is up to. The last thing workers need is him saying that workers earn too much, especially when Tony Abbott is out to totally destroy unions, abolish the minimum wage and reduce all blue- and white-collar salaried and wages employees to beggar status.
Mr Howes should review his career options and political aspirations. He was never elected by the broader union movement or by ALP members to represent us.
Paid too much indeed! Dump him, Bill. Now.
Trevor Nayler Ermington
The ALP must never allow Paul Howes to progress further into the federal political arena. His consummate lack of judgment has been demonstrated at critical moments and it demonstrates itself yet again. He may have pushed us all to the brink of yet another Work Choices battle. However, this time he has provided the weaponry to those who would attack working conditions under the guise of ''national development''.
Andy Busuttil Hazelbrook
''Look at me! Again!'', says Paul Howes as he again positions himself for a tilt at federal politics. It's time for the Labor Party's grown-ups to send this noisy, wet-behind-the-ears adolescent to his room.
Anne Ackroyd Melba (ACT)
When the Hawke-Keating government made the necessary reforms to the Australian economy the very difficult task was made much easier because John Howard to his lasting credit did not oppose any of the legislation as it passed through Parliament. Australia is again at the crossroads when it comes to reform and industrial relations. If Bill Shorten has the interests at heart of the workers he claims to represent, he should emulate John Howard and let all reasonable reform legislation through the Parliament unchallenged.
Norman Atkinson Braidwood
Union boss has a throw at the ALP stumps. Howesat!
George Antonakos Byron Bay
I don't know whether it's unions or rising wages. But can someone please explain why I paid 75¢ for a Coke at LAX and $4.40 for the same on arrival at Mascot?

Harbour's beauty is for everyone, so let's protect it
Elizabeth Farrelly (February 6) says the Peat Island issue ''could use some implacable Mosmanites'' to fight the cause.
As a Mosmanite who lives next door to Middle Head, I'd be happy to fight for Peat Island.
Ms Farrelly might be surprised to know that among all those Mosman burghers who are out rampaging on Middle Head with their pitchforks, there are quite a lot of George Smiley-like characters. They harbour other Smiley-like characteristics: industry, tenacity, intelligence. Most come from somewhere else; I am a Kogarah kid.
A lot of mud gets slung at Mosmanites, so Ms Farrelly is not alone, just predictable. Mostly it's just sour grapes - look at all those toffs over there, ''latte sippers patronising popular cafes and restaurants''. But the truth is that the people who park in my street on weekends are not Mosmanites. They're from everywhere. Two Frenchmen I met here couldn't get over the beauty of the foreshore parklands. And that's great. Why? Because what matters is the parkland is for everyone.
The bottom line? The Sydney Harbour Federation Trust needs money. To get it, it's prepared to forsake its charter and give a private developer the go-ahead to construct a very ugly large building in national parkland. It makes no difference whether it's for aged care, a cookery school or a red-light brothel. It's just the wrong thing to do.
Fran Lester Mosman
More than prayer to aid the depressed
Unlike Barrie Breeze (Letters, February 6), I saw Alan Stokes' column as a graphic, realistic picture of depression. I suffered several long and desperate encounters with ''the black dog'' while living an otherwise successful and happy life, and in the past few years have given talks on this subject to many community groups.
I urge Barrie, and other well-intentioned people, not to offer one simplistic strategy as a panacea for a bout of depression or a ''night of quiet despair''. Depressed people need to seek help as quickly as possible from knowledgeable health professionals who can guide them into selecting the most appropriate channels and therapies. They also need the vital support of family and good friends who understand the illness and can offer useful, long-term help.
Some Christians do find help through their faith. Not so, others. As a depressed Christian friend of mine said, ''I pray to God and just find a big black hole''. If prayer was the sole answer, there should be no long-term depressed Christians.
Carolyn Rice Gymea
Although I don't share his beliefs, I am glad that Barrie Breeze finds comfort in his religion. What a shame his sneer at ''so-called atheists'', whatever they are, tarnishes his message.
Tom Goodfellow Cherrybrook
Perhaps the loudest howls in protest to Barrie Breeze's suggestion to talk to the Good Shepherd when depressed might not come from the atheists but the wolves in sheeps' clothing - the liquor and pharmaceutical industries!
Nan Howard Camden
Louise Curtis (Letters, February 6) writes that if Ian Thorpe were a private citizen ''we wouldn't have the right to know about his personal crisis''. In fact, many likely also understand that the fact Thorpe is now essentially just another ''private citizen'' like them, rather than a current champion at the centre of attention, is the root of his exacerbated mental health problem. Paradoxically, waning public interest in Thorpe should provide him the space and ''opportunity to recover''. However, the motives and ethics of the media, and the unhealthy dependency of past celebrities on continued interest in them, are factors entirely out of the control of the public.
Robyn Dalziell Castle Hill
Natalie's lesson for us
While the harrowing story of Natalie Wood suggests to Helen Wallace (Letters, February 6) that those claiming a share of her estate do not deserve it, the prospective heirs may dwell in locations far more desperate than her own. Most inheritance is an unearned but welcome gift.
Paul Roberts Lake Cathie
Recently a woman in our neighbourhood was discovered dead in her home, having died six weeks before she was missed. Perhaps it is time for our governments to pass legislation to encourage people to do the right thing by their family. Legislate that if a person is dead for, say, a month or whatever reasonable period our lawmakers decide on, before anyone raises the alarm, their assets automatically go to the state and not to any surviving relatives who did not bother to keep in touch with them. Allowances to be made of course for relatives who are themselves incapacitated or otherwise unable to maintain regular contact.
Richard Keyes Enfield
No cans means a pickle
If SPC is not saved, then for me it might have to be be back to the old, neglected art of bottling fruit and vegetables in the home kitchen. I cannot bring myself to buy imported canned food: the EU has long been guilty of dumping cheap tinned tomatoes, and frankly I do not trust any food imported from China (look what they did to baby formula). Also, in the long run surely Australia has to be able to feed itself, and if the cannery goes, so do a lot of growers. Perhaps an opportunity for Dick Smith and some small investors.
Lee Andrews Faulconbridge
Fewer defects occurring
Alex Mattea's claim (Letters, January 29) that ''85 per cent or more of new apartments built this century had serious structural and other building defects'' cannot go unchallenged. If this were true then the entire multi-storey residential building industry would be in a state of semi-permanent litigation. In fact the reverse is true, and only a tiny proportion of modern buildings suffer from structural defects. The public of NSW have been, and continue to be, well served by a dedicated structural engineering profession.
Eamonn Madden President, Association of Consulting Structural Engineers NSW
Petrol? That's not mine
John Truman (Letters, February 5) was getting a bit worked up about mining company fossil fuel subsidies and extremely generous worker conditions and not paying for their petrol. Sorry, but petrol is banned on mine sites. Wish I and many other mine workers were getting his stated benefits. I work 12 hours for seven days for a month with one RDO, then one week off. I get a flat day rate and, for perks, a couple of workshirts, gloves and a new hard hat.
Makes you want to vote Green - sorry, just joking.
Dennis Ryan Murwillumbah
I suspect the people who are calling for reviews of penalty rates don't work unsociable hours, don't postpone family events because somebody has to work night/weekend shift, don't have sleep interrupted by callouts or callbacks, don't have to stay home on the weekend because they are on call, don't have to not have a drink because they are on call, don't miss out on family celebrations because they have been unexpectedly called into work. Often these working hours are to save people's lives; sometimes, such as in hospitality, it's to make other people's lives more enjoyable. It's about just recompense for workers who are not working daylight hours, Monday to Friday.

Cool change coming
It seems the events in the Winter Olympics, which start on Saturday, have undergone some sort of generational change. They used to involve sliding down a hill as fast as possible, jumping the greatest distance from a ramp, skating round in circles (sometimes falling over, or hurtling down a shute in a sort of billycart with no wheels. Seems it's now all about aerial gymnastics on snowboards, with ''citius, altius, fortius'' becoming ''like, narly, dude''.

Flora 10, Lawrenceville 6
Early errors prove costly as LHS opens with loss
LAWRENCEVILLE - Visiting Flora took advantage of three Lawrenceville errors to score five runs in the opening inning Friday, on the way to a 10-6 win over the Indians' baseball team at Unit 20 Ballpark.
The Wolves (1-0) had three hits in the opening inning, but the three LHS errors added fuel to the fire.
"It seems like sometimes those errors can be very contagious," said LHS coach Josh Benefiel. "In the first inning, when that first ball went through the legs, you could see our guys get kind of antsy, Take away those plays our guys should have made, it's 6-5 for us."
Only one of the six runs LHS starter Braxton Blagrave allowed through four innings was earned. The Indians also used Cole Steffey, who gave up four runs - all earned - in two innings on the mound, and Matt Siegle, who pitched a perfect seventh inning.
The Indians outhit the Wolves, 6-5, with junior catcher Ryan Seed delivering a single and a double. Steffey added a run-scoring two-bagger for the Tribe, while Blagrave, Siegle and Jeff Baxter all connected for RBI singles.
Thomas Mahrenholz added to the attack by walking four times, scoring twice.
"I'm happy with the way our guys were swinging the bats today," Benefiel said. "I've been happy with that all winter."
The Indians trailed 5-0 when they scored their first run in the third inning. Seed singled to center, stole second, and came home on Siegle's base hit. LHS cut the lead to 6-2 an inning later when Mahrenholz worked Flora starter Christian Taylor for a walk and scored on Baxter's two-out hit to right.
Lawrenceville trailed 10-2 when it came to bat in the bottom of the sixth, but rallied for three runs on a pair of hits.
Mahrenholz and Brody Shaffer drew one-out walks against Flora reliever Bryce Pearce, and both scored on Seed's two-out double to right. Seed later scored on a base hit by Blagrave.
LHS concluded the scoring with a run in the seventh. With two out, LHS first baseman Austin Bowler reached on the only Flora error of the game. Bowler came home on Steffey's double to center.
Blagrave allowed six runs, only one of which was earned, while pitching the first four innings. He allowed four hits, walked two batters and fanned three.
Steffey struggled with his control during his two innings on the mound, as he walked five batters and fanned two. He gave up only one but was touched for four runs, all earned.
Siegle was impressive in the seventh, as he set the Wolves down in order, including a strikeout to start the frame.
LHS will host Oblong in a non-conference game at 4:30 p.m. today. They play at Olney at 4 p.m. Tuesday and will travel to Martinsville at 4 p.m. Thursday.

Miller Enjoys Return to Conseco Fieldhouse
Indianapolis, March 19, 2004
Brad Miller didn't need a room at the team hotel. Or a roadmap to find his way around.
Miller, the former Pacers All-Star center now with the Sacramento Kings, stayed at his Indianapolis-area home and did a little real estate shopping while here, proving that home isn't necessarily where your next NBA contract is.
"I'm looking at about 600 acres of woods and swamp and trash. It's heaven," said Miller, a Kendallville, IN, native who played at Purdue and spent 1 1/2 seasons with the Pacers. "I can fish, hunt, and live."
His Kings faced the Pacers at Conseco Fieldhouse for the first time since Miller was part of a three-team trade that landed him in Sacramento this past offseason. Miller scored 12 points, dished out five assists and grabbed 13 rebounds in the 94-92 last-second victory by the Kings.
"This time it feels a little different, I think, going into the visitors locker room," he said. "Before, I hadn't played here and I didn't really think about it. It was a year-and-a-half and I was ready to stay, so it makes it weird. But it's still my favorite arena to play in, so I look forward to that."
Miller has adjusted well to his fourth NBA team as well as the Kings' wide-open style of play. He was named to his second straight All-Star team and helped the Kings to the best record in the Western Conference during the absence of Chris Webber due to a knee injury that kept Webber out through the All-Star break.
"It worked out well. I don't know how you can really say better," Miller said. "It's a totally different style and pace – the style of the game is just a lot different. Things begin to look a lot different in the box scores. It's been a good fit for not knowing anybody on the team. I'm having a good time figuring it out."
With Webber's return, Miller gave up his starting role willingly in favor of long-time Kings veteran Vlade Divac. There were no Iverson-esque rants about an All-Star coming off the bench from Miller.
"I don't give a crap," Miller said. "I can get fired up in about two seconds starting and give them a spark coming off the bench. I get a couple of less minutes a game, so that's good.
"I didn't start in high school. The coach started a 6-2 center – started him until he was late for a meeting and then I started the rest of (my junior) season."
Though Miller has relocated his game to Sacramento, his heart hasn't strayed far from rural Indiana, as evidenced by his intent to purchase a large chunk of land for life after basketball. He has also kept a keen interest in the Pacers.
"They've got a good team, building up with a lot of young guys who are just starting to get better," he said "There's Reggie Miller, whose kind of the elder statesman, but everybody else is on their way up to the prime of their basketball careers."
As is Miller, an admitted late-bloomer who came from nowhere and back through Indiana on his way to NBA stardom.
Bender Doubtful for Grizzlies
A shoulder injury suffered by Jonathan Bender in the second quarter of the Pacers' loss to Sacramento Friday night has left the versatile forward doubtful for tonight's game at Memphis.
Bender said he injured his right shoulder when he ran into a pick set by Kings guard Doug Christie. X-rays were taken and the injury was diagnosed as a sprain.
"I've got to get some treatment on it and see how it feels," said Bender, who was moving gingerly in the Pacers' locker room after the game. "Hopefully, it'll feel a lot better than it does right now."
Before the injury, Bender put together one of his best performances of the season, scoring 15 points on 6 of 6 shooting in only nine minutes of play in the first half. He returned to play seven more minutes in the second half, but was largely ineffective on offense.
Bender missed the first few months of the season while recovering from preseason knee surgery and has only been back in Coach Rick Carlisle's regular rotation since the All-Star break. Even so, Bender was confident of his ability to come back quickly.
"I'm going to bounce right back," he said.

Lisa Loeb in a thong
Some of you may be too young to remember Lisa Loeb. She was famous for something back in the early nineties. I don't remember what; I think it had something to do with a dancing giraffe. But I do remember really wanting to see her as naked as possible. Well, ten or so years later, my prayers have been answered, sorta. And she doesn't look bad. If she was as entertaining singing as she is running around in a thong, maybe I'd buy more of her music. Particularly if she sang naked. And in my bedroom. And used my wang as a microphone.
UPDATE: And now there's video.

What is Alcohol?
To Drink or Not
Truth or Myth

ULSLAS Survey
Truth Behind the Myths
I can be in control when I drink.
Because drinking impairs your judgment, you are more likely to do something that you will regret, like have unprotected sex, damage property or be victimized by others.
Eating before I drink will stop me from getting drunk
Although eating will slow down the body's process of absorption, the alcohol will still end up in your bloodstream - and the higher the level of alcohol in
your bloodstream the more drunk you'll be. There is
no magical way to keep alcohol out of your body
if it is consumed.
Drinking isn't that dangerous, the worst thing that can happen is I'll pass out and have a hangover tomorrow
Death can and does occur from drinking too much alcohol.
Alcohol poisoning
or acute alcohol intoxication occurs when the level of alcohol in the body acts as a poison, causing death from drug overdose. Alcohol is also associated with homicides, suicides, drowning, falls and traffic fatalities. 33% of 18 to 20 year olds admitted to emergency rooms for serious injuries have been drinking.
I'm more friendly and social when I drink.
People can also become more sleepy, forgetful, hostile, violent, dangerous, homicidal, or suicidal when they drink. Your chances of taking serious risks also increases when you've been drinking.
If I need to sober up I can.
Depending on your weight and other factors, it takes about three hours for your body to eliminate the alcohol content in two drinks. Contrary to the belief that coffee, water or a cold shower can sober you up faster; the fact is that NOTHING can speed up this process.
I'm a cheap drunk if I can't keep up with my boyfriend.
process alcohol differently. No matter how much your boyfriend drinks - if you drink the same amount - you will likely be more intoxicated and more impaired.
I'm OK to drive after a few drinks.
Almost half of all fatal car accidents among 18-24 year olds involve alcohol. Do you know for sure what your
Blood Alcohol level
is after a night out? Your judgement can be
after even a couple of drinks.
I need to learn how to hold my liquor.
If you are continually drinking larger amounts in order to feel a buzz, you are developing a tolerance to alcohol. This is an early warning sign that you are developing a serious alcohol problem.
Beer doesn't have as much alcohol as hard liquor.
A 12 ounce regular beer, a 5 oz glass of wine, and a 1.5 oz shot of hard liquor all contain exactly the same amount of alcohol and are considered a standard drink.
Drugs are more of a problem than alcohol.
Alcohol and tobacco kill more than 50 times the number of people killed by cocaine, heroin and every other illegal drug combined. Although alcohol is more socially acceptable than using illegal drugs, it is still a drug. Alcohol is one of the most abused drugs in society today.
Alcohol is a good way for me to relax and reduce stress after a tough week at school.
Adrenaline levels increase in your body as you drink. You may feel more relaxed at first, but when you drink your body actually undergoes additional stress. Listening to music, doing something physical, or laughing with your friends are healthier ways to relax and reduce stress.
Poor and homeless people are the most likely to have alcohol problems.
Addiction is an equal opportunity disease. It does not discriminate in any way against any class of people. It strikes equally among individuals in all ethnic, socio-economic, intelligence and emotional wellness categories.
People with alcohol problems drink everyday.
A person does not have to drink every day or every week to have a problem. Some people with problems only drink on weekends and some abstain for months. Dependence is not determined by how often people use alcohol, but whether or not they can control their usage once they start. Even occasional drinkers have higher than normal rates of of liver cirrhosis.
It is normal to forget things after a night of drinking.
Forgetting things after a night of drinking is not a normal part of drinking behaviour. Blackouts and memory loss can be a sign that you have a drinking problem.
People pass out from drinking all the time. It's nothing to worry about.
The fact is you pass out due to the body's inability to tolerate the amount of alcohol that you have put into it. Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant that works to slow down the heart rate, lower your blood pressure, and slow your breathing rate. Once your brain has been depressed enough by the alcohol, you pass out. The amount of alcohol it takes to make you pass out is dangerously close to the amount of alcohol it takes to make you dead

A solid performance by Burnley in difficult conditions saw them remain in the hunt for a top seven place in North Lancs Two.
The Holden Road side were forced in to some late changes with Billy Lancaster, usually in the second row, played well as a make shift back row and won valuable ball in the line out from Hutton's throw.
Alistair Quinn also came in on the wing and his strong running was one of the highlights of the game.
Burnley were first to open the scoring when Brian Kelly stretched over the line from a blindside move following a strong scrum by the home team.
The conversion attempt was missed but Burnley were on top now with inside centre Ryan Bradley making strong runs while captain Nino Angelone alongside brother Luca and hooker Danny Marshall formed a strong as a front row.
It was no surprise that Burnley cross again when Matt Higson received a ball from Angelone to power over to make it 10-0 at the break.
Hutton pressed early in the second half but only had a penalty to show for their efforts.
That was largely due to Burnley's formidable defence from one to 15.
It was left to winger Matt Crowley to round off the scoring as as he rounded is man, chipped through and beat the defender to the ball.
Burnley will be looking for another fine all-round performance when they travel to Garstang who they narrowly lost to earlier in the season.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Last year, this treasured restaurant took two Readers' Choice categories -- Best Restaurant in Broward and Best Restaurant When Someone Else Is Paying. This year, the venerable spot became a victim of unsettled times. Citing heightened security that kept diners from easily accessing Port Everglades -- a direct response to terrorist actions and threats around the world -- the owners decided to disband the 18-year-old establishment. The last supper was served in June, and as the eatery's been gone-and-departed for almost a year now, no doubt this will be its last tribute.
For Indian food regulars who want to avoid those awkward moments of ordering beef curry from a Hindu waiter, the simple way is to go vegetarian. Bombay Cafe has powerfully tasty vegetarian dishes that'll make most carnivores forget about the lack of animal flesh. The chick peas in the chole-bhatura are cooked perfectly al dente in a potent tomato-based broth, and the plain uttapam combines the simplicity of a poster-sized rice pancake with aromatic lentil soup. Everything at this simple restaurant is made on-premises, even the yogurt, which flavors the sweet lassi so well, and the roti, an oven-roasted bread. Best of all, your vegetarian feast will set you back only about $5 -- not a bad price for a clear conscience.
Q: Ever watch reality-TV shows?
A: I watch absolutely no TV. I work every night.
Q: Never?
A: All right, Monday. My day off. On Monday, I have to watch Fear Factor because my 10-year-old daughter, Margeaux, insists on it. It's kind of fun to watch with her. She's always comparing herself to the girls on the show. She says, "I could do that."
Q: Are there parts of the show you don't like?
A: When they eat slugs and things like that. I'm not crazy about that.
Q: Is that the restaurateur talking?
A: Not really. That whole segment of the show -- I usually walk away from it. It'll definitely kill your appetite.
Q: How about your daughter?
A: She can stomach it a little better than I can.
Q: Is the show in any way real?
A: It's interesting to see what people will do for $50,000. Is that real? I don't know.
Q: Can you learn anything from Fear Factor?
A: Jeez, I don't think so. It's kind of like a strange sports game.
Q: What does your daughter get out of it?
A: Just the sensation of it, I think. She's very competitive, very athletic. A major soccer player and a junior lifeguard. I think the competition is what she enjoys, especially when the girls are competing against the guys. That's Margeaux.
If the name seems like a mouthful, well, the large servings of fresh fish and shellfish justify it. A retail seafood market on one side and an attractive, casual dining spot on the other, Waves isn't all foam and froth like some of its trendy contemporaries. Yet its preparations are still modern -- Asian shrimp-noodle soup, coconut shrimp, lump crab "fingers," shrimp scampi with roasted tomatoes. Feeling traditional? Waves also offers lobster dinners à la beach parties in Cape Cod, with a Maine steamed lobster, mussels, clams, ears of corn, and new red potatoes. Best of all, your belly may make you feel as if you won't be riding any waves too soon lest you get a cramp, and your wallet won't be much lighter -- Waves is as reasonably priced as it is filling.
It's no secret that Chinese takeout isn't always healthful. But there is hope. Wingloon's lengthy menu features all the traditional Chinese-American fare; sweet and sour chicken, moo goo gai pan, beef lo mein, among others. But this drive-through and takeout restaurant is looking out for today's health-conscious consumer. In addition to a vegetarian menu including broccoli and mushrooms with garlic sauce, and sautéed string beans, any of their chicken or beef dishes can be prepared with tofu, and they will omit salt, sugar, or cornstarch. You just have to ask.
Let's be honest. You're cheap, and you always will be. So you might as well put on the plaid pants and baby-blue blazer and go for the early-bird special at Spoto's. Between 5 and 6 p.m., the upscale raw bar in downtown West Palm Beach throws in a salad, dessert, and drink for the price of your entrée. That's a value of about $20, which, you might as well admit, is more than you spent on your mother's last birthday present. The deal includes a spicy tomato, mozzarella, and red onion salad with a well-aged vinaigrette. It's a good complement to the onion-crusted yellowtail snapper at $21.75. Or pair the house salad, with its wheat-beer vinaigrette, with the bouillabaisse, which includes a half-pound lobster, clams, mussels, and nearly still-swimming chunks of fish. Eat quick and you can be in bed by 8.

Mike Allen Retires After 31 Years of Service to UW
This past December marked the retirement of Mike Allen, Master Technician of the college's Machine Shop. Mike earned his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University in 1976.
Mike began his service to UW in February of 1981. During his time at UW, Mike worked in the Agricultural Engineering Department for five years, the Civil and Architectural Engineering Department for 12 years, and he spent the last 14 years as a Master Technician in the Machine Shop. In addition to fabricating sophisticated parts for research projects, Mike also provided design assistance on many projects including a rainfall simulator for Agricultural Engineering, parts for the Electrical Engineering Department's hexapod project, and parts for a complex telescope camera for the Physics Department. In addition, he assisted countless students with the design and fabrication of their Senior Design projects, and taught many students the basics of precision machining techniques. Mike is a true master craftsman, and his skills and contributions will be missed by all in the college.
- Rob Erikson, CEAS Shop Manager, Assistant Lecturer

The Devil Wears Prada Celebrate 'Zombie' EP in NYC With Born of Osiris, The Word Alive + Secrets
The Devil Wears Prada celebrated the fifth anniversary of their 'Zombie' EP with an electrifying set.
The Devil Wears Prada celebrated the fifth anniversary of their 'Zombie' EP with an electrifying set.
Chelsea Grin and The Word Alive will hit the road in late April for 'The Real Sick Tour.'
The Word Alive pull from personal experience for their new video, 'The Runaway.'
We spoke with The Word Alive's Telle Smith about the band's new 'Real' album, the single 'Play the Victim' and their participation in the 2014 Vans Warped Tour.
The Word Alive's Luke Holland discusses the band's writing process for the 'Real' album in our exclusive video update.
It's time to get "Real," and by that we mean that The Word Alive have revealed that their new album title is 'Real.' The disc, the band's third full-length overall, is set for release on June 10 via Fearless Records.
Last year Memphis May Fire ended the year as a supporting act for Sleeping With Sirens on tour. This year, they have a busy 2014 ahead of them with a headlining trek and forthcoming release of their new disc, 'Unconditional.' They played to a packed house at Irving Plaza where support included performances by The Word Alive, A Skylit Drive, Hands Like Houses and Beartooth.
Killswitch Engage are one of the most entertaining and energetic bands a metal music fan can see today, and they brought the house down earlier this week with a stellar performance at Best Buy Theater -- with support from Miss May I, Darkest Hour, the Word Alive and Affiance.
Following As I Lay Dying vocalist Tim Lambesis' recent arrest on murder-for-hire charges, the metalcore act has chosen to vacate their support position on Killswitch Engage's North American summer tour. With As I Lay Dying pulling out of the tour, it has just been announced that AILD's spot has been filled by Darkest Hour along with Arizona metalcore act the Word Alive. Previously announced acts on the bill include Miss May I and Affiance.
The Word Alive have been riding high on the success of their second full-length album, 'Life Cycles,' and the Phoenix-based metalcore band is set to continue the 2012 disc's momentum with a recently shot video for the album's title track. In anticipation of the clip's release later this month, the band has teamed up with Loudwire to offer exclusive behind-the-scenes photos of the video shoot.

The Aspirin Tax
January 7, 2011
Forty million Americans started paying higher taxes last weekend because of ObamaCare. ObamaCare will eventually impose nearly two dozen new or higher taxes on the American public, according to Americans for Tax Reform.
- Until now, Americans could use health savings accounts (HSAs) and flexible savings accounts (FSAs) to pay, pretax, for nonprescription, over-the-counter medicines.
- ObamaCare disallows this use of HSAs and FSAs.
- Basic aspirin, laxatives, antihistamines, decongestants, antacids -- none of them will be covered by self-controlled, self-savings plans favored by millions of middle-class families.

The Food Timeline is full of fascinating tidbits (like the history of the hot dog). Check it out, whether you're a baseball fan or not.
