Dear Carolyn • I'm a single mom in my 40s with three girls. My longtime boyfriend and I are discussing marriage. The question is about timing and logistics. We have an existing issue of how well he and my children (9-15) can live together, given their loudness, their friends coming and going, and his need for quiet. We acknowledge we need a good amount of square footage in a shared home, and perhaps a soundproof home office, to make it successful. The issue that has come up recently is about the actual wedding ceremony. He comes from a very small family and has a few close friends. His mother is agoraphobic with additional social anxiety, plus health problems, and wouldn't be comfortable even at a relatively small wedding or reception. He also wouldn't feel comfortable having a wedding ceremony with all of my family in attendance, but not his. I am not looking to be a bridezilla by any stretch, but I would like to share this with my family and friends who stuck by me through the tough times with the end of my first marriage. It will be his first wedding, so I'm totally willing to bow to his wishes and just have it be us and my daughters and a Justice of the Peace. But, would it be tacky or hurtful to have a wedding celebration party later, knowing that his mother can't/won't come?
Dear Anonymous • Maybe it's because I'm writing this while I'm hungry, or maybe I have ancient biases I don't fully recognize, but I'm struggling to answer your specific question because all I want to do is ask you this: Are you sure you're ready to marry into the Control Family Robinson? My unsolicited advice is to step back, way, enough to take in the whole scope of your life with this person, and decide whether the plainly social you really wants everything you're about to sign up for. You're an adult, you can choose this for you, but choosing it for your children? But that's not what you asked me. No, it's neither tacky nor hurtful to host a celebration with and for your community after your little capitulation of a wedding. Just consider not calling it a reception, and do invite the mother, even expecting she'll choose not to come.

Lady Gaga Bikini Pictures on the Beach in Mexico
Lady Gaga Wears a Tiny, Black Bikini For a Mexican Beach Day
Lady Gaga was in her bikini earlier this week to hang out at the beach in Mexico. There were some surf lessons in store for Gaga while she was on a vacation with friends, but the pop star's already back in NYC getting down to work again. The video for her latest single "You and I" came out Tuesday on Twitter, and she was at MTV yesterday doing press for the new tune. Lady Gaga was in their studios to officially launch the video on TV, and she spoke about the clip's metaphors and messages. She has more work coming with the network at the MTV VMAs. Gaga's prepping for a much-anticipated performance at the award show on Aug. 28, and she's rumored to even have the honor of opening the show. Also coming up for Lady Gaga will be a collaboration with Cher. The two icons are working on a song called "The Greatest Thing Ever," which will appear on Cher's upcoming 26th album.

The Prospect Area Chamber of Commerce may not be one of the largest business groups in Kentucky, but it is one of the fastest growing, according to Executive Director Kathy Jacobs.
And that fast growing group is celebrating its first big milestone this week.
PACC celebrated 10 years of dedication to charity, community and business with an anniversary party and annual meeting on Tuesday.
The sign on the wall at Hewn from the Mountain Music Cafe says it all about the focus of the shop: "Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which remains silent."
Musician Tom McShane owns the full-service music shop, located in Crestwood, which celebrated the opening of a café with a ribbon cutting ceremonty by the Oldham County Chamber of Commerce last week.
A former Kentucky Secretary of State will headline the Oldham County Chamber's first official event at their new CityPlace offices.
Trey Grayson, now the president of the Northern Kentucky Chamber, will speak at the Business and Biscuits event Friday, beginning at 8:30 a.m.
After being elected Secretary of State in 2003, Grayson resigned near the end of his second term to take over as the director at the Harvard Institute of Politics. After three years in Boston, Grayson recently returned to take over his hometown chamber as president.
A La Grange businessman is being recognized for making waves as vice president of his company.
Early in his career, Ben Bowman is already the vice president of Parts Unlimited based IN La Grange, and was also recently selected as "35 under 35" by the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA).
Bowman joined PUI, an offshoot of SEMA, in 2010, where he was hired to globalize the restoration company.
Birthday parties will break out across Kentucky on Sept. 28 when Baptist Health celebrates its 90th anniversary of caring for families throughout the commonwealth.
The events will be Sunday, Sept. 28, 2 to 4 p.m., at each of the seven Baptist Health hospitals: Louisville, La Grange, Lexington, Richmond, Corbin, Paducah and Madisonville. Each location will hold drawings to give away an iPad and a Fitbit® to lucky winners, and each will have a photo booth to capture family photos.
The Oldham Chamber & Economic Development is excited to host Trey Grayson, former Secretary of State, for their October Business and Biscuits. This will be the first chamber event in the new CityPlace Pavilions. Please join the Chamber for this very special breakfast event Friday, Oct. 3 from 8:30 - 10:30 a.m. at CityPlace, 112 South First Avenue, La Grange. Tickets are $20 for members and $25 for guests

The July 8, 2007, edition of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, one of Germany's main dailies, carried an article about the great impact of Adnan Oktar's works on the subject of Creation, particularly the Atlas of Creation. The article, by Kai Strittmatter, contained the following statements:
With his material means and power, the most influential Muslim creationist is spreading across the world.
Adnan Oktar, who is struggling against Darwin, is asking, "Are you now going to burn our books?"
Wearing a suit that shines in the Istanbul sun, the author, who writes that the world is merely an illusion, boards a boat. He is dressed head to foot in a white suit of silk… His belt buckle, cuff links and tiepin are all made of gold … Underneath his snow-white tie is wearing a snow-white shirt … Just about all the young people in his entourage are wearing striped suits and leather shoes…
Both the writer and those around him seriously maintain that the universe is merely an image, and matter just an illusion. The author smiles as he says, "I am a scientist. There is no need to be afraid, the subject is actually crystal clear." We have just three hours.
We are on the yacht with Adnan Hodja, as the press here calls him. The author, Adnan Oktar, is also known as Harun Yahya. Adnan Oktar – or Harun Yahya – is one of Turkey's most prolific authors.
We all know that Hitler, Stalin and Mao were the most tyrannical criminals of the last century. So what do they have in common? Adnan Oktar says that they were all Darwinists: "Communism and fascism are Darwin's teachings." Freemasons, as well as Darwin, are responsible for wild capitalism and the growth of PKK terror.
Adnan Oktar maintains that Darwinism must be eliminated in order to achieve a peaceful life. He goes on to add: "If there were such a thing as evolution, it would inevitably appear in the Qur'an." He then says, "I have completely undermined Darwinism." At that point, some of the invited journalists examine the writer's books on the shelves. One of these is A Historical Lie: The Stone Age…
With his striking profile, combed back grey hair and carefully groomed beard and sideburns, Adnan Oktar reminds one of royal diplomats kissing the empress's hand in old black-and-white movies. The only difference is that he is wearing imposing sunglasses instead of an eye mask. "They are in a state of panic," says Adnan Oktar. "The book is so impressive that they said there was no alternative but to ban it." Here the author refers to the Frenchmen. Oktar sips at his cherry-juice and says, "but how can it be possible to forbid the sun?" … So effective has the Atlas of Creation been that the authorities are unwilling for it to be given to young students without supervision. Indeed, they think it will have a damaging effect on young pupils.
The book provoked a wide reaction in France last spring. Thousands of copies of the book fell, as if from a lofty void, onto the desks of teachers, school principals, library curators and editors. The book is printed on glossy paper, 800 pages long and weighs around 6 kilograms… Its message is clear: Darwin lied. There is no evolution. God created the world, and created all at once. There is an easily understood method of proof employed on every page: to the left is a fossil rabbit, to the right a picture of a cute-looking one… the captions beneath read "There is no difference between a rabbit that lived 38 millions years ago and a rabbit alive today. This proves that the rabbit never evolved and that, on the contrary, it was created." On the next page is a fossil fawn, a picture of a living specimen, and a similar text. Six hundred of the book's pages are all in that same format. Then comes the appendix: Darwinism is the source of all the evils in the world, and world is nothing but an illusion… The answer the reader finds to the questions in the book is this: God exists, and our salvation lies in Islam.
The French press became enormously excited in the wake of the book's arrival in France… Outdated Christian opponents of evolution were no strangers to them. But Muslim opponents of evolution were new to them. How long have they been around? The Parisian authorities immediately gave the book to the biologist Herve Le Guyader to examine. Soon after his examination, Le Guyader concluded that "Islam and science" were extremely dangerous. According to Le Guyader, only very few students possessed the intellectual equipment to reject the arguments of the book. On the yacht, Adnan Oktar asked us, "What will they do now? Will they burn our books?"
Fossils on Display
Muslim anti-evolution campaigns along the lines of Christian fundamentalists are relatively new. … There are also other Muslim creationists in Turkey. But none has achieved the success of Adnan Oktar, who does not look favorably on intelligent design…
Most Muslims have no problem fitting the millions of years of the earth's history into their own viewpoints. The work of American creationists has been reflected in Muslim circles over the last two decades. Particularly in Turkey, which country is officially a secular republic. In 1985, immediately after the last military coup d'état, creationism entered the school curricula as the state attempted to break the leftist tendency among Turks with the help of religion.
And today? According to a survey carried out in 2006, only one in four Turks regards evolution as a fact, while half have doubts about evolution…
Haluk Ertan, a geneticist at the Istanbul University, says that Turkey has become the headquarters of Creationism in the Middle East.
… The BAV (Science Research Foundation), of which Adnan Oktar is honorary president, holds conferences all over Turkey. One can come across fossil exhibitions in restaurants, in the Tunnel, and even Metro stations. More than 8 million copies of Adnan Oktar's 250 or so books have been sold. A representative of the Global Publishing proudly announces that more than 1 million works are downloaded over the Internet every month. The books have been translated into many languages, from Urdu to Indonesian and German.
Adnan Oktar describes his attitude towards the negative accusations made regarding him thus: "It is normal for someone whose ideas shake the world to be subjected to slanders. Everyone with a cause has experienced such things." Adnan Oktar happily describes how the Pope has been influenced by his ideas. But is there a sect behind Adnan Oktar? He answers: "All I have around me are my friends and brothers." Does he regard himself as the Mahdi? On his web site he writes how one of the greatest portents of the Mahdi is that the Mahdi will never claim that title. Do the journalists who criticize him have to be afraid of him? Adnan Oktar replies: "Some members of the press may think I harbor negative feelings about them, but this is definitely not the case." He lightly touches his beard: "Allah has determined everyone's destiny."
As the yacht approaches the shore, Adnan Oktar dons his glasses. He tells us that everything taking place today points to the beginning of the Golden Age, "Insha'Allah we shall all live to see those days. Thank you for coming." We approach the jetty. A group of young people in striped suits forms a cordon around the two sedans. The writer, in his snow-white clothes, gets into the black Mercedes. A Land Rover sets off immediately after it to ride shotgun. The Atlas of Creation is still shining on the shelves on deck. The German version has only just come out. The writer said that science knows no bounds.
The teachers of the future are doubtful of evolution
A survey at Dortmund University has shown that young biologists doubt evolution.
According to the poll, one in every eight students harbors serious doubts about evolution. A poll of 1228 students entering the university last year made this very clear. According to the survey findings, 12.5% of students in the biology teaching department doubt the existence of evolution.
And 13% of students reject the view that man is related to chimps; 18% believe that human beings were directly created in their present form.
Dortmund University's Professor of Biology Dittmar Graf was amazed when he calculated the number of opponents of evolution on Wednesday 25 April, 2007. "We were surprised because we saw how much of an influence Creationist ideas had on even biology students. It appears that these views are spreading."
The findings of the paper's poll regarding whether evolution took place or not are as follows:
Evolution? No, thanks.
According to the Süddeutsche Zeitung poll, 87% of respondents think that human beings are created with a Divine design, while 10% believe that evolution actually happened.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/3/2013 (1619 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The boutique resorts of the luscious island of Saint Lucia are taking the game of love to a new level.
If romance is in your sights, Saint Lucia is home to several standout destination hotels along its picturesque western Caribbean coast: In the south, high atop the town of Soufri re, the eco-chic resort Ladera is an enchanting getaway where two former Montrealers are making changes that involve thrilling new accommodations and exciting gastronomic adventures.
At the luxurious Cap Maison, outside of upmarket Rodney Bay in the north, lovers can spend amorous nights aboard a private yacht and carefree days swimming and diving in the sea, while families can enjoy togetherness in posh suites and private villas.
Both hotels invited me to visit and experience their Caribbean way of life.
These intimate Saint Lucian hotels have fashioned romantic experiences that play on the island's sensuality -- the scorching sun, the surging ocean, the rhythmic Calypso-style music and the generally carefree vibe of barely there clothes and sultry temperatures that range from 26 C to 30 C. Given Saint Lucia's French-English heritage, you'll be saying, "Je t'aime" before you have finished your first rum punch.
"Saint Lucia is all about l'amour," said Olivier Bottois, an executive at Ladera and a former Montrealer whose prestigious background includes the Four Seasons hotels, the illustrious Hotel Le Saint-James in Old Montreal and a stint at the distinctive Relais & Chateaux in New York's Adirondacks.
"The island offers tranquillity, the freedom to enjoy the sea and sun and precious privacy at intimate resorts that you don't find everywhere," Bottois said.
I would call Ladera and Cap Maison the "un-resorts." They are personal, secluded getaways devoid of the brouhaha of larger hotels. Lots of personal attention. No crowded pools, blaring music or lineups for buffets. Sometimes, no kids, either. Ladera welcomes guests age 15 and older, so if unfettered romance is your goal, it's a treat being free from the commotion of youngsters.
Ladera is a unique jewel nestled on the edge of the rainforest overlooking the Caribbean with a singular view of Saint Lucia's distinctive two peaks, the Piton Mountains, a protected UNESCO World Heritage site. Unpretentious and built around nature, Ladera is a living work of art, an eco-enterprise with its own artisans who handicraft the furniture for the 32 suites and a platoon of gardeners who tend the resort's luxuriant tropical botanical gardens.
Ladera is distinctive for its authentic island architecture, folkloric decor and unusual three-walled suites, meant to have guests experience nature in a splendid climate. A hummingbird will alight on the edge of your private terrasse. And you can watch for a fleeting glimpse of a parrot through the mango and almond trees. But don't expect air conditioning. Ladera is a place to unplug, forget your iGadgets and your cares. With one wall open to the sea and sky, luxury here means gentle breezes cooling your room and non-stop views of the sun setting on a sparkling bay. Each suite has its own private plunge pool for skinny-dipping, so guests are always outdoors, continually soothed by the sound of the waves and spellbound by the Pitons.
For Ladera's 20th anniversary in 2012, master hotelier Bottois managed to improve on nature. The newest accommodations -- opening Feb. 1 -- are hilltop Dream Suites and a Villa, spacious hideaways with Ladera's signature pools and traditional Saint Lucian decor, plus dramatic views and personal butler service. The resort's only two air-conditioned spaces also are new: a high-tech gym and a fulsome wine cellar and tasting room, presided over by a new sommelier, direct from Bordeaux, France.
For newlyweds, Ladera has an online gift registry so friends and family can buy the honeymooners extras such as spa treatments, meals or excursions. The spa has couples-oriented treatments like Massage Your Mate. And at the bar, lovers can be inspired by the heady Oriole Rum Cocktail, named for colourful Saint Lucian birds that mate for life.
Ladera's new consulting chef, Mark Tan, was recruited from the Montreal gastronomic temple XO in Le Saint-James to oversee alfresco dining in the tropics. Now crafting contemporary gourmet Creole cooking with Asian and French inspirations, Tan's market-fresh fancies include crispy coconut shrimp with fruit salsa, citrus ceviche with cilantro, crab in callaloo leaves, seafood pepper pot, pan-seared duck, curried lamb with caramelized plantains and honey-chili prawns.
If you are looking for a meal with sex appeal -- and who isn't? -- chef Tan also has created a lobster menu for lovers with Saint Lucia's spiny crustacean and rosé champagne.
Cap Maison, one of the island's newest getaways, is an exclusive five-star estate, a compact community of high living tucked between the calm Caribbean and the restless Atlantic Ocean. More traditionally luxurious than the artisanal Ladera, Cap Maison's top-drawer accommodations are loaded with posh perks such as flat-screen televisions, mini-bars and Bose music systems. There are deluxe suites for cocooning couples and opulent villas for families or friends with private pools, large outdoor decks for entertaining and deluxe living rooms, shaded from the sun with slatted shutters and canopies.
Cap Maison keeps open its kids-vs.-couples options with two swimming pools and the choices of fine dining, room service or stocked kitchens. Children can't get enough of the beach, of course, and there are sea kayaks, small catamarans for play in the gentle waves of the bay.
After a languid day at the sea and spa, guests head to dinner at the Cliff at Cap, a superb outdoor bistro with a panoramic view of the turquoise Caribbean and white sailboats bobbing on the waves.
Executive chef Craig Jones creates nouveau West Indian cuisine, an exciting fusion of avant-garde style, Saint Lucia's fresh produce and Japanese and French accents. Some of his creations include: braised short rib of Kobe beef, duck confit and chili butter-poached tiger prawns, as well as artful small plates: apple-caramelized shrimp, leek fondue and the intriguing "study on potatoes with pancetta."
And for a variation on wine, Jones suggests a tasting menu with a choice of fine rums.
Cap Maison also has a high romance quotient. In addition to all the essentials for a festive wedding -- calypso bands, tropical flowers, photos and clergy for any one of several religions -- Cap Maison has some unique no-fail services for lovers. For a bubbly seduction, a bartender zip-lines champagne down to a secluded deck built over the Caribbean surf. Next, a "proposal concierge" will help to choose the Ring and advise a nervous bachelor on where to pop the big question -- on the beach, on a yacht or at a moonlit dinner.
But life isn't only about passionate embraces under starry skies and swooning to the ambrosial perfume of roses, even on dreamy Saint Lucia. Guests can head out for deep-sea fishing and thrilling zip-lining through the rainforest.
Ladera takes guests on a cardio-busting hike to the scenic summit of Gros Piton Mountain. You'll need strong legs, lots of water and an early start for this rocky, strenuous five-hour excursion. Recovery is at hand at the volcanic Sulphur Springs in Soufri re, where bathers dip in mud to relieve aches and pains.
Cap Maison's guests also have entree to the St. Lucia Golf and Country Club and the St. Lucia Racquet Club, or can get adventurous with horseback riding and kitesurfing. Saint Lucia also is rich with intriguing natural attractions, historic fortifications and a rich Creole culture. Lively towns such as Rodney Bay, Marigot Bay, Gros Islet and Castries pop with spirited festivals, colourful markets, zesty cuisine and sexy costumed dancers.
Plus, the Saint Lucia Jazz Festival rocks Rodney Bay every May with such stars as Lionel Richie and Hugh Masekela.
My fave event is the Anse-lay-Raye Fish Fry, a rudimentary two-block street "jump-up" with island music and outdoor kitchens cooking up local delicacies such as lobster bisque, roasted red snapper and grilled octopus.
Conch, either stewed or grilled, is considered an aphrodisiac. And imbibe with caution. Locals say the potent Bois Bandé, a seething rum moonshine with cinnamon and cloves, is a powerful love potion called the island's Viagra.
Hey, it's Saint Lucia, so seduction is always in the air.

"I would like to order and "OVERSIZE" of this product, as well as MULTIPLES of different colors of same. How can I CUSTOM ORDER these? Here are the size and colors that I want: Blue, Size 14 or 15, quantity = 2 or 3 Black, Size 14 or 15, quantity = 2 or 3 Tan, 14 or 15, quantity = 2 or 3 Gray, 14 or 15, quantity = 2 or 3 The reason for the size and quantity is because I have type 2 diabetes, combined with a heart condition. This causes my feet to sometimes swell to beyond my "normal" foot size (13.5). Finding shoes that fit normally is hard, so anything larger is even more difficult..."

Perfect shoe for me
At first, the shoe was really tight at the front, the bottom had this strange curve upwards that almost hurt. I walked around in it for a day & that went away. It was really tight on me at first, but they stretched out to a nice, form fitting size that's perfect for stage performances.Read More

Make a plan, pack your bags and away you go! Finally, you are away from "the job", and excitedly anticipating a new adventure. You are ready to make memories with your family and create Kodak moments for the scrapbook. Ahhhh, time to decompress and catch up on that book you haven't finished, get that good "hotel sleep" and wake to the sun and not an alarm. Time to kick up your heels and just let the days effortlessly unfold. HA !!! Get real! Whose fantasy life is that ?!
As the turn of spring finds droves of eager college students, families and others scanning the globe for a spring break getaway and then putting in Herculean efforts to make it happen, inevitably the "travel trolls" will ride in on any fantastical expectations and riddle the excursion with frustration and gnashing of teeth, if you are not careful. The operative word-expectations!
Why do we vacation in the first place? What do we expect? Practically speaking, we vacation because we crave a break from our routine. We want a to change our perspective allowing us to see the world with fresh eyes thereby freshening our view of the "same ole same ole" upon our return. Or, maybe we are completely exhausted and need a mind body hiatus to draw the drapes and just sleep. We expect that our vacation will bring about the mental and physical transformation we feel we need to go on. Somewhere embedded deep into our psyches we expect, we long for our vacation to act like a magic wand, opening the doors to a new land where the 24-hour day and gravity don't exist. In "vacation land", everything is made of candy and carbs with no calories. And why shouldn't it? We hear tales of delight from family and friends about perfect hotels, great dinners and breath taking sites on their last voyage. We pour over websites and glossy brochures stocked with vacationers flashing a wide mouth, yelping smile showing all 36 pearly whites. They are having pure joy, so why can't we?
In reality, achieving a rejuvenating, family vacation for ALL parties involved is arguably an artful skill that has quite a steep learning curve and often a budget-breaking price tag. Although it can be done, but like most everything else, even a vacation takes work, and often a lot of it. especially if you are traveling with children.
Despite the fact that recession and joblessness continue to be on the tips of our tongues and gas costs us 80 cents more, than this time last year, the USA Today reports, "Advanced bookings for March and April [travel] are up sharply at many destinations."
GAS PRICE CALCULATOR: How Much Are You Spending?
Judging by our perseverance we are keeping the dream alive for a vacation panacea. It can be achieved. Yes, really it can, if one leading member of he family will take hold of the vacation reigns and consider the following:
- 1. Start early and make a written plan. It's not fancy, but it works. Last minute packing creates stress and increases the likelihood that you will forget things. There's no reason why you can't start putting things in the bag 2 weeks before you depart, especially if you are going to another climate. When it's done, check it off the list and keep the paper in the suitcase.
- 2. Simplify your actual vacation days. It pulls the plug on the fun when you try to see and do it all. Your children and you become cranky and feel a sense of being put upon, rather than the melodic rhythm of an unfolding day. It's okay to be UNscheduled. Grab a chair and just watch and listen to your family. If your lives are as busy as most during your regular routine, this will most certainly bring on the fantasy vacation feeling.
- 3. Eat and rest well. Eating well on a vacation has got to include more fiber and less sugary junk. Need I say more? Consider tossing a few organic naturally stimulating teas in your bag. That's sure to keep the crew feeling at the ready. As for rest, we all know how much better parents and children function when we have ample sleep.
- 4. Set souvenir parameters so you don't face a cash register meltdown. Before you leave the hotel room on day 1, let your children know how many and how much they can spend on souvenirs during your vacation. You can even give them a chip, or slip of paper indicating that number and amount (age dependent) to be exchanged for their souvenir. They learn about limits, budgets and feel a sense of control and you can breeze past all that stuff sans "a scene".
- 5. Finally, don't "lower" your vacation expectations, but "shift" them. As far as I can tell where ever we go, life is. Whether we are at Disney World or not, gravity still exists, calories still count, our budget has limits and nothing is absolutely perfect. Expect and plan to enjoy just being in the moments with your family despite all else. That you can control. Mostly.
This travel season there will undoubtedly be travelers from Alaska to Florida who have taken time off work, spent hours comparative shopping for the best travel destinations and deals, endured a variety of travel modes, spent thousands of dollars, yet, they find themselves harried and hurried, disgusted and frustrated wearing a forced smile and thinking are we having fun yet. True vacationing is in the mind. It's a departure from the norm and actually achievable right here, right now. So make the choice and away you go!
That brings me to another thing.......we?ll talk about that next time.

A rectovaginal exam is done to examine the vaginal and rectal areas
for abnormalities.
During a rectovaginal exam, your doctor inserts one
lubricated, gloved finger into the vagina and a second finger of the same hand
into the rectum while pressing on the lower abdomen with the other hand. This
allows your doctor to feel where and how large your pelvic organs
are. You can tell your doctor if it hurts when your organs are
touched or moved.
A rectovaginal exam is done as part of a regular gynecologic exam. A
Pap test is also usually done at this time.

Crystal Palace have confirmed that Jason Puncheon has signed a four-and-a-half year deal.
Puncheon joined the Eagles in the summer on a season-long loan from Southampton, but the new deal will keep the winger at Selhurst Park until 2018.
The 27-year-old has bagged three goals since the new year, leading boss Tony Pulis to proclaim that he has the qualities to be a top class Premier League player.
Croydon-born Puncheon said: "It's great to sign a permanent deal, it's something I dreamt about when I was a kid so I'm pleased to get it done.
"I was here when I was eight years old when the likes of Dean Gordon and Chris Armstrong were here so that makes its special.
"The massive factor in this was the chairman and the manager, the gaffer has shown great faith in me since he's been here and that's been unbelievable for me."

Teams bank on small-sample magic with August deals
August has traditionally been a difficult time to get substantial trades done. But with so many clubs in contention and with several non-contenders in a financially flexible position, that notion was taken to a new extreme this year. There are strategic elements to the waiver-wire activity that sometimes go beyond the present tense.
When the Cubs, for example, put in a claim on Cole Hamels (preventing Hamels from reaching any of the contending teams), they gave themselves an exclusive negotiating window with the Phillies to check in on what it would take to land him and whether Philly might be looking to move the lefty this winter. It was a cost-free, guilt-free method of monitoring that particular market.
No harm, no foul and, yes, no deal. And this was a somewhat typical case.
Everyone thought August would be the month the Phils would start unloading some veteran players with big contracts (Hamels, A.J. Burnett, Marlon Byrd and Jonathan Papelbon). Well, the month came and went, and the only guys they moved were Roberto Hernandez and John Mayberry Jr. Bartolo Colon, Alex Rios, Ben Zobrist, Yunel Escobar, Neal Cotts, Mat Latos, Joaquin Benoit and John Danks were also among those rumored to possibly move. None did.
But some guys did manage to sneak through the cracks, and some contenders did manage to patch a troublesome spot with the hope of some small-sample magic.
As we head into the September home stretch, here's a rundown of the most significant August acquisitions by contending teams that took place before Sunday's deadline for postseason eligibility.
Adam Dunn and Geovany Soto, A's: Dunn's 14-year career, which has seen him appear in nearly 2,000 games, is reportedly coming to a close. And it could end with his first postseason appearance. The A's scooped up "Big Donkey" on Sunday, and not a moment too soon -- the club's offensive performance had plummeted after the departure of Yoenis Cespedes in the Jon Lester trade. Cespedes and Dunn have similar runs created weighted marks, and Dunn's power bat should help the A's in the left-handed DH spot, where John Jaso had spent a lot of time before his recent concussion woes and where Coco Crisp's ongoing neck issues limit his availability.
Jaso's concussion issues also prompted the arrival of Soto from the Rangers. Soto is now serving as the backup to Derek Norris.
The A's have made move after move after move this season to try to chase a happy ending, and they'll need Dunn to help them in a hurry as they chase the Angels in the American League West.
Matt Thornton, Nationals: The Nats have had one of the National League's more consistent bullpens this season, but they wanted another left-handed look to pair with Ross Detwiler and Jerry Blevins. It was actually a somewhat curious move on the part of the Yankees to let Thornton go in the midst of their own playoff push, especially as they wound up adding lefty specialist Josh Outman from the Indians later in the month. But they certainly saved some cash, as Thornton was in the first year of a two-year, $7 million contract.
So, yes, the Nationals took on some salary, but they've gotten a veteran who still throws gas and has given them eight scoreless innings in 10 appearances thus far. He's a nice pickup for a deep pitching staff.
Jonathan Broxton, Brewers: The Brew Crew had been on the hunt for bullpen help for a while, but Doug Melvin understandably balked at the July price tags for relievers. In claiming Broxton off waivers from the division rival Reds on Sunday, Melvin strengthened the right-hand side of a bullpen that was weakened by the season-ending injuries to Tyler Thornburg and Jim Henderson.
Broxton had a 1.86 ERA with a 1.014 WHIP in 48 1/3 innings over 51 appearances with Cincinnati this season. He had filled in as the Reds' closer at the outset of the season, when Aroldis Chapman was on the DL.
Gordon Beckham and Vinnie Pestano, Angels: Well, in truth, we wouldn't classify either of these as a significant acquisition. Beckham's career had taken a frustrating turn for the worse with the White Sox, and Pestano was a once-dominant setup man struggling to find his old form in the Indians' organization. They were acquired as depth pieces in the infield and bullpen.
What's significant is what the Halos didn't do this month, and that's acquire a starting pitcher. The Angels, probably more than any other team, had incentive to do so, given the sting of losing Garrett Richards and Tyler Skaggs. Maybe Colon, who passed through waivers unclaimed, would have been a worthwhile pickup, but the Halos would have likely had to take on the $11 million in salary he'll command in 2015. It's hard to blame an Angels team already inching toward the luxury tax threshold for 2015 abstaining from that territory.
The Halos have built a five-game edge in the AL West, and they feel they have the depth options -- particularly now that rosters are expanding -- on the 40-man roster to get through September with that lead intact. We shall see.
Kelly Johnson and Alejandro De Aza, Orioles: The O's had a busy weekend in waiver trade territory, as they sought not just to maintain their large AL East advantage but better position themselves for October.
To help offset the loss of Manny Machado, Johnson was brought to his third AL East team of the season. At the plate, he had been something of a non-factor this year, turning in a .212/.290/.354 slash line. But Johnson is an adept defender at the hot corner, and that's important to a Baltimore team that, before Machado went down, had arguably baseball's best defense on the left side of the infield.
Outfielder De Aza is also a solid defender, and the O's are hoping the slugging percentage that took a significant step back in Chicago this season will reveal itself down the stretch. He'll be in a backup role to Nelson Cruz, Adam Jones and Nick Markakis.
Roberto Hernandez and Kevin Correia, Dodgers: It was not long ago that the Dodgers' starting staff was considered a candidate for best in baseball, and it was widely assumed they had the prospect pieces to make it an unbelievable unit by adding David Price. The Dodgers, though, passed on Price in July, and they found their pitching depth tested in August, losing Josh Beckett to the hip impingement that had given him trouble much of the year, losing swing man Paul Maholm, watching Zack Greinke pitch through some elbow discomfort and Hyun-Jin Ryu briefly depart with a buttocks strain.
Correia was acquired from the Twins primarily as a bullpen piece, though he did make three starts that ranged from decent to horrendous. He's working exclusively out of the bullpen right now.
Hernandez, meanwhile, has been a surprisingly solid pickup for the Dodgers in this stretch run. He'll make his fifth start for the club Monday, and he's gone 2-1 with a 3.52 ERA, limiting opponents to a .247 average and .574 OPS.
Josh Willingham, Royals: At the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline, the Royals had talks with the Twins about Willingham, but, ultimately, they weren't willing to take on the more than $2 million owed to him through season's end. But that was before Kansas City went on its early August surge up the AL Central standings, and, two weeks later, the Royals were suddenly willing to swallow Willingham's salary (by that point, roughly $1.8 million) in order to add another power bat to their arsenal.
Willingham had been battling both injuries and ineffectiveness with Minnesota the past two seasons, but Kansas City appears to have grabbed him at the right time. Entering Sunday night's game against the Indians, he had an .866 OPS, two homers and four doubles in 45 at-bats with his new club.

Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references. ] [ Media Contact: TPWD News, email@example.com, 512-389-8030 ] [LH] Sept. 16, 2013 13 Steps to Catching a 13-pound Bass ATHENS--Every year Toyota ShareLunker program coordinator Juan Martinez talks to anglers still excited and shaking from the experience of landing a 13-pound or bigger largemouth bass, and every year almost all the stories are the same: The person never expected to catch a bass that size and was unprepared to deal with it. Take a hint from the Boy Scouts: Be Prepared. Follow these 13 steps to catching a 13-pound bass and you will be ready. 1. Program the Toyota ShareLunker numbers into your cell phone NOW. Voice: (903) 681-0550. Pager: (888) 784-0600. Both are monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week during the season, which runs October 1 through April 30. Be sure to include your area code if leaving a message. (And by the way: There is no need to call either number in the middle of the night just to see if they are working. They are.) 2. Check your tackle and respool with fresh line, preferably braided. Big bass tend to hang out in the nastiest cover they can find and are quick to wrap your line around a tree. Chances are you are going to have to pull them out by brute strength. 3. If you do not have an oxygenation system installed in your livewell, get one. Instructions on how to do it yourself can be found at http://www.slideshare.net/raminlandfish/livewell-oxygen-injection-8773301. Oxygenation is especially important during warm weather and tournaments, when bass may be held for several hours. 4. Don't have a livewell? You can use the information in step 3 to rig a large ice chest. Bass do not respond well to being dragged across a lake on a stringer. Remember that a 13-pound bass will probably be at least 24 inches long. 5. Get a rubber net. These are much kinder to fish than nets with knotted construction. Abrasions make a fish more vulnerable to infections. 6. Get a scale and check its accuracy using a known weight. (A five-pound sack of flour or sugar and a gallon of water in a plastic grocery bag should weigh about 13.5 pounds.) This can save much time and frustration trying to find a place to weigh a fish. 7. Review the procedure for handling and caring for big bass at http://tpwd.texas.gov/spdest/visitorcenters/tffc/sharelunker/handle/. 8. Know the locations of official ShareLunker weigh and holding stations (http://tpwd.texas.gov/spdest/visitorcenters/tffc/sharelunker/holding/). These places have certified scales for weighing your fish, a specially equipped tank for holding it, and personnel who have been trained by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department fisheries biologists on how to care for big bass. Taking your fish to one of these stations, if one is nearby, is perhaps the single most important thing you can do to insure its survival. 9. Expect to catch a lunker. Many lunkers are caught by people who just went fishing and did not expect to hook a trophy bass, and they didn't have a net, or didn't fill their livewell, or didn't have a scale or know where to take a fish to have it weighed. Any time you fish in Texas, you have a chance to catch a 13-pound or bigger bass. Act like a Boy Scout. Expect the unexpected. 10. Buy a fishing license and know the regulations for the body of water you fish. Some big bass have not been accepted into the ShareLunker program because they were not legally caught. The first thing the TPWD employee does when picking up a fish is check the condition of the fish. The second is to ask to see your fishing license. Have one. 11. It's best to use a rubber net to land a fish, but if you must lip it, take care not to suspend the fish's weight from its jaw. This can break the jaw and make it impossible for the fish to feed. Grip the fish's mouth firmly with one hand and its tail with the other, and handle it as little as possible to avoid damaging its protective slime coat. 12. Treat the fish with respect after catching it. Quickly take photos of yourself with the fish, and then leave it alone. Don't let others handle the fish and have their picture taken with it. It's your fish. You want it to live to go back into the lake. The process starts with you. 13. Go fishing. -30-
