With tall palm trees swaying in breezes off the lake, the home at 40072 Pelican Point Parkway has 3,507 square feet of luxury living space. There's also a big rear porch and courtyard overlooking the lake e_SEnD a perfect setup for gatherings large or small.
Inside, the split floor plan is open and bright, with lots of natural light filtering in through tall wood windows.
Pelican Point is a resort-style golf course community just down Interstate 10 in Gonzales. The stucco and brick home on the parkway has a tall front elevation with a huge palm tree just to the left of the entrance. Another seven palms are scattered in front and back, and a two-car garage with a large golf cart bay is in front to the right.
Inside the residence, oak planks floor the foyer and formal dining room, located immediately to the right. Ahead is the carpeted living room, where tall windows overlook a covered rear porch as well as a big courtyard that steps down closer to the lake. In all, it's a great setup for outdoor entertaining.
Tall arches frame the dining room and foyer when viewed from the living room, and the arches are repeated on the back porch, which has a stained and scored concrete floor. The living room's granite tile fireplace has built-ins on both sides, including an entertainment cabinet on the right.
That's also the direction to the master bedroom, which is in the back part of the residence with a view of the lake. A built-in credenza forms one wall of a private study which is attached to the master bedroom. The study has an exit to the rear covered porch as well as a view of a half-round brick fountain on the rear deck.
The vaulted master bath has a beaded board ceiling and upgraded light fixtures. A corner whirlpool tub sits below wood blinds in the marble-floored bath. There are also separate vanities with beveled-edge mirrors, and a glass-walled walk-in shower. The master closet has lots of hanging space and cubbies and a built-in dresser. There are two entrances to the closet – one from the bath and one from the bedroom.
Two more bedrooms connected by a Hollywood bath are on the front side of the home opposite the master suite, and both have walk-in closets.
One of the bedrooms is set up as an office, with a built-in wall of shelving, cabinetry and an attached glass desktop.
On the other side of the home, the kitchen is awash in cypress cabinets – including a dry bar – all finished in a warm honey tone.
Often, builders install lots of cabinetry because there isn't room for a walk-in pantry. Not only is there a nice walk-in pantry in this home, there's also a butler's pantry with glass-front cabinetry of its own. The kitchen is floored in 18-inch ceramic tile and is separated from the living room by a wide granite island/bar that can seat eight. Kitchen appliances are GE Profile, including a 4-burner gas cook top and a microwave-over-oven combo. A cozy breakfast area is at the end of the kitchen and has a nice view of the lake as well as an exit to the covered porch.
Another bedroom with a full bath is located along the hallway to the garage. A long laundry room is here too, along with the stairs to the bonus/bedroom above the garage. Two dormers allow natural light into the bonus room, which has its own full bath and a walk-in closet.
Extras in the home include elegant window treatments that will remain, as well as a generator that switches on automatically when the power goes out.
This beautiful Pelican Point home will be kept open from 2-4 p.m. today.

ORLANDO, Fla. - A 51-year-old Winter Park woman was arrested in a hit-and-run crash in Orange County that killed a 13-year-old boy who had just returned Redbox movies, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Jennifer Lee Herrington was booked into the Orange County Jail early Monday morning after being arrested in the crash, which killed Omar Figueroa, who attended Glenridge Middle School in Orlando.
Troopers said Herrington struck Figueroa, who was walking in a crosswalk at the intersection of North Semoran Boulevard and Old Cheney Highway, around 7:30 p.m. Sunday. Figueroa was taken to Arnold Palmer Hospital and pronounced dead a short time later.
According to witness statements, Herrington ran a red light and hit Figueroa.
Troopers said Herrington then took off and caused another accident at Semoran Boulevard and Baldwin Park Street.
A witness told Local 6 that he followed Herrington after the boy was struck and saw the second accident. The witness made sure someone stayed with Herrington until troopers arrived.
Herrington was taken to Winter Park Hospital and had blood drawn to see if she may have been impaired at the time of the accident, officials said.
Herrington was arrested on charges of leaving the scene of a deadly crash, and other charges are pending, the FHP said. She was released from jail after posting $10,000 bond.
Herrington told authorities she hit the teen because of a medical episode--having a diabetic seizure. Deputies said they are investigating the claims of diabetes to determine if vehicular homicide charges are appropriate.
Grief counselors were made available Monday to students and staff at Glenridge Middle School.
"Our hearts go out to the student's family during this very difficult time," the school principal said in a ConnectORANGE message to parents.

The Penn Golf Center houses an office for both golf coaches as well as 3,000 square feet of program space.
In one section of the center, a putting green can be used to work on putting stroke. There is also a fringe area that allows for players to work on their chipping.
In another part of the center are two Trackman Golf Simulators. Complete information on the capabilities of theTrackman Golf Simulator can be found here.
The Penn Golf Center was part of a 98,000-square-foot renovation of the existing Hutchinson Gymnasium that cost $27.2 million. The project is certified as LEED Gold.

Tales of Wonder: Adventures Chasing the Divine an Autobiography Paperback – Import 4 May 2010
Product Description Review Poignant and readable Smith recounts professional adventures—meeting Martin Luther King Jr.befriending Aldous Huxley and the Dalai Lama dropping acid with Timothy Leary . . . this is what it feels like to have lived a long and interesting life. (Newsweek) In his lush new memoir the religious scholar Smith dances among the whirling dervishes in Iran camps with the Aborigines in Australia shares a chuckle with a gaggle of Masai warriors on the darkening Serengeti plains. Each anecdote reveals Smith's sense of marvel at the strange bounty of the world (Washington Post Book World) In this delightful autobiography Smith tells us how he became the dean of world religions. Intellectual playfulness is definitely the spirit with which this book was written. Right to his final act Smith is proving to be the consummate professor giving us a valuable master class on faith and life. (San Francisco Chronicle Book Review) Smith has long been our clearest and most radiant explorer of all the world's great religions. Thank heavens for such wisdom delivered with light and fire! (—Pico Iyer) One of our foremost scholars and interpreters of the world's religions . . . What he has learned he has applied to life. (—Bill Moyers) My admiration for Huston Smith's work is boundless. With each new book I have been astonished edified and greatly heartened by his brilliant mind and heart. He is the wisest sanest religious scholar of them all and so wonderfully readable. (—Anne Lamott) Smith is America's best-loved religion tutor. (—Jack Miles) Huston Smith is the world's ambassador to religions everywhere. (—Thomas Moore) "Smith parts the curtain on his past and says "Look!" with the enthusiasm of a child--something he has not yet lost at age 90. The result is a joyous romp with a favorite uncle among holy places and mystics--the most interesting of them the author of the book." (Publishers Weekly) "Remarkably brief and humbly written for a man of Smith's fame and accomplishment Tales deals simply with his life and his encounters with the great and the good (Eleanor Roosevelt D.T. Suzuki and Frithjof Schuon to name a few). Highly recommended." (Library Journal) Smith . . . [has a gaze that] bespeaks mischief curiosity bluntness and wonder . . . In an age of generalized fear and "just say no" Smith who taught for years at Berkeley a venerated figure there has said "yes" to life's possibilities. (San Jose Mercury News) "Tales of Wonder brims with fascinating insights and tidbits." (Boston Globe) "It is the pulse of Smith's humanity that breathes life into Tales of Wonder." (CNN.com) From the Back Cover Huston Smith the man who brought the world's religions to the West was born almost a century ago to missionary parents in China during the perilous rise of the Communist Party. Smith's lifelong spiritual journey brought him face-to-face with many of the people who shaped the twentieth century. His extraordinary travels around the globe have taken him to the world's holiest places where he has practiced religion with many of the great spiritual leaders of our time. Smith's life is a story of uncanny synchronicity. He was there for pivotal moments in human history such as the founding of the United Nations and the student uprising at Tiananmen Square. As he traveled the world he encountered thinkers who shaped the twentieth century. He interviewed Eleanor Roosevelt on the radio; invited Martin Luther King Jr. to speak at an all-white university before the March on Washington; shared ideas with Thomas Merton on his last plane ride before Merton's death in Bangkok; and was rescued while lost in the Serengeti by Masai warriors who took him to the compound of world-renowned anthropologists Louis and Mary Leaky. In search of intellectual and spiritual treasures Smith traveled to India to meet with Mother Teresa and befriended the Dalai Lama; he studied Zen at the most challenging monastery in Japan; and he hitchhiked through the desert to meet Aldous Huxley dropped acid with Timothy Leary and took peyote with a Native American shaman. He climbed Mount Athos traipsed through the Holy Land and was the first to study multiphonic chanting by monks in Tibet which he recorded with Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead. Most important he shared the world's religions with the West—writing two bestselling books and serving as the focus of a five-part PBS television series by Bill Moyers. Huston Smith is a national treasure. His life is an extraordinary adventure and in his amazing Tales of Wonder he invites you to come along to explore your own vistas of heart mind and soul.

Engines — Capt.
Ken Kreisler, Capt. Patrick Sciacca, and Elizabeth Ginns
2003 Engines Preview
Last year Mercury launched its SmartCraft system with the 555 ECM, an electronic control module that, coupled with SmartCraft's sensors, enables boaters to keep track of data from more than 64 internal engine functions. In 2003 Mercury is making what it calls an "incremental change" by introducing electronic controls with its SmartCraft Digital Throttle System (DTS).
The DTS technology, which links the engine and throttles via a single data cable, is currently available on OptiMax 225-hp outboards and MerCruiser 8.1-liter engines. Tom Mielke, Mercury's corporate communications director, says this isn't quite a drive-by-wire system but does enable a host of handling benefits via actuator motors that open and close the throttle and operate the shift linkage. The first is said to be a throttle response of 0.3 seconds. Another is the elimination of mechanical cables, leaving nothing to stretch or wear out after several seasons. This cable-free system is also said to reduce jerky-type throttle adjustments. Mercury says that DTS is designed to "last the life of the boat," and we all know fiberglass can hang around quite a while.
DTS is still in its introduction stage, so we'll keep you posted as to when we can provide you with a firsthand account of the system. Phone: (920) 929-5040. www.mercurymarine.com.

Thought I'd have a look at the latest downloadable version of Tweetdeck but the install crashes trying to access "C:\Program Files" - something it shouldn't be trying to access at all since the C: drive is the operating system drive and applications such as Tweetdeck go on my D: drive.
How do I tell the application that it should install as an application and not try to pretend to be an operating system?
Are you saying that your Program Files folder is in your D drive? that's strange. Even if your profile is in your D: drive, that would affect only to the personal configuration of your programs (your cookies and some temp files which are not saved in the generic windows, personal data that many software need to finish the configuration of screens, e-mail, the configuation of printers...)
But the installation of any software and the generic configuration should go to Program Files and that's supposed to be in C. Although most programs do let you choose the folder where you can't install, not all of them do.
I'll try to install tweedeck latest version but I suspect that if it doesn't let you do it, then it is because in needs to stay in Program Files.
No it isn't.
I have my computer set up with C: = operating system, D: = programs and E: = my data - so the Program Files folder therefore belongs on the D drive as programs are not the operating system (with the exception of a program called Windows).
All of the programs work quite happily from the Program Files folder which is on my D drive - obviously the answer is that the authors of the latest Tweetdeck are brainless morons who don't understand that the Program Files folder can be on any drive and on a properly organised computer where the hard drive has been partitioned to keep programs separate from the operating system that location will not be on C:
I understand that you changed the registry key accordingly, then
While I agree that user control is reasonable your remark strikes me as overly harsh. Deciding not to build something that 99% of your users won't use hardly makes you worthy of being insulted although that may certainly be a reason for you not to use them, even to share a negative review. TweetDeck has been known for downtime and bugs over the years and I suspect those would be higher priorities for their team.
It's one of the better management products out there but not the only one so perhaps your best bet is to try another tool?
I currently have an earlier version of Tweetdeck installed - it asked where I wanted to install it and then installed where I told it to. I wouldn't have been as harsh in my comment if it were not that the install process for that software used to cater for installing where ever you want and that it has since been changed to remove that option. It would be a different matter if the software never had that option in the first place.
The other thing that is different in this instance is that with all other software when I decide to install a new version the installer recognises that there is already a prior version installed and assumes that I want to remove the old version and install it in its place. This installer just crashes trying to access a folder that it doesn't have access to rather than recognising that there is already an old version installed in a folder that it does have access to that it can replace.
Which registry key changes the default location for programs that forget to ask where they are to be installed?
All other programs that I have tried to install except Google Chrome all asked and got told to install on D - with Chrome I installed the portable version instead which looks to be the same as the regular version except that during the install process it asks where you want to install it whereas the original doesn't.
Yes, I was referring to that registry key.
Up to a point, I can understand that it annoys you not be able to choose the location of installation for your software. But sometimes it is necessary that it installs in the default Program Files folder.
Now, I don't think that's the case of tweetdeck but maybe some of their bugs were solved by installing in this particular location and that's the reason it doesn't let you choose your favourite folder anymore. I don't know. It may be another bug or a suggestion for the next version.
I don't pretend to know their reasons but maybe their installation process has changed for good reason. I think your comment was unnecessarily harsh.
But the one way to solved this is by telling Windows that the defaul program files resided in your d: unit which, after all, is what you do at the moment.
That's up to you, obviously.
I actually use Tweetdeck in Google Chrome. It works well in Google Chrome you will just add it on Google chrome like a tool, nothing to install. What's good with this is that, it automatically updates whenever theirs a new version. Hope it helps.
Not really - Google Chrome suffers from the same problem of not allowing you to choose where to install it.
Now that I know that there's a registry key for the default program folder I'll see if changing that can get software that don't have proper installers (such as Google Chrome and Tweetdeck) to install where they should go - onto the application program drive - and not onto the operating system drive.
Anyway the version of TweetDeck that I already have installed works fine - I just thought that the latest version was worth a look - I expect I will be writing a bad review of the latest version some time in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks - that seems to have worked. I hadn't realised that the default folder location was a registry entry or I'd have updated it long ago the way I did with the My Computer and email folder locations (both on the E drive).
No probs. I would have forgotten about it too if I hadn't had to migrate 2400 pcs recently
My husband used to have a job like that. I feel your pain!

POLICE believe these men could help with an investigation into the theft of meat and a vacuum cleaner from an Accrington supermarket.
The incident, at the Aldi store, in Argyle Street, happened around 3.45pm on April 25.
PC Anna Gavela said the thieves were 'quite a sophisticated team'.
She added: "They went around the store separately while speaking to each other on mobile phones. All the goods were placed in one trolley, then one of the men left with nothing, but held the entry doors open so that the other male could walk out without paying."
Anybody with information should call police on 101.

Thanksgiving is still days away. But it didn't stop the Lions from playing like turkeys on Sunday afternoon.
In a huge game that had ramifications for winning the division and making the playoffs, the Lions had five turnovers en route to a horrible 24-21 loss to the lowly Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Ford Field.
The Lions had a golden opportunity to shake off that bad loss in Pittsburgh last Sunday and beat up on bad Tampa Bay, which entered the game at 2-8.
Plus, it was a chance for the Lions (6-5) to give themselves some breathing room in the division.
Instead, the Lions turned back the clock five years to when an embarrassing performance like this was the norm.
There's no way the Lions should have lost, especially if they were the team they thought they were when they opened the season winning four of the first five games.
"You can't explain it, it was a poor performance," Lions' coach Jim Schwartz said.
"As disappointing and as bitter of a loss this , we have a short turnaround to bounce back."
Let's face it. The Lions - who have lost three of their last five games - aren't a good team, just a mediocre squad that continues to play down to the competition.
Most, honestly, thought the Lions would roll over the Bucs and then beat the injury-plagued Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day here.
Instead, the Packers (5-5-1) can now leave town with the division lead with a victory.
"It's very disappointing, because we knew we should have won that game, but we didn't deserve to win the game," said Lions' RB Reggie Bush, who had 83 yards on 15 carries. "We turned the ball over five times, you don't deserve to win a game. That's just how it goes."
Bush is so alarmed that he said there needs to be a player's only meeting called before Thursday's game to make sure everyone is on the same page moving forward.
"I don't know," Bush said. "We just have to find a way to win the next game, that's it."
This turnover thing isn't new. The Lions had four of them against Dallas here and got a miracle victory in the final minute.
In that game, quarterback Matthew Stafford had two picks. Here, vs. TB, Stafford had four.
"Can't make bad decisions," said Stafford when asked on what he needs to do for the Lions to reach their potential. "Had a couple bad ones, had a couple unlucky bounces.
"You do that, you turn the ball over five times, have a punt blocked and all that, the minus part of the turnover ratio for a long time now. We've got to get that fixed."
The same goes for the secondary. The Lions' secondary is the worst in the league. You saw it on display in the fourth quarter when the Lions gave up an 85-yard TD pass from rookie quarterback Mike Glennon to Tiquan Underwood early in the fourth quarter to beat CB Chris Houston, giving the Bucs the lead for good at 24-21.
"I don't talk about the breakdown," Schwartz said. "The breakdown was we gave up a long touchdown pass. We don't assign blame. The blame is on the entire defense."
Calvin Johnson - who had 115 yards and seven catches - said his team won't get too down for losing two games in a row for the first time this season.
"We have too much going," he said. "We have some grown up guys in here.
"We don't have time to be worried about this."
The spin, of course, is that the loss to Tampa Bay didn't end their season or hurt their chances to make the postseason.
"We have a five-game season," Schwartz said. "This does not eliminate us from the playoffs.
"It doesn't do anything other than make the last five games even more urgent. Those are our marching orders over the last five games."
Sounds good.
In reality, this game did derail the Lions' playoff train.
If the Lions don't reach their postseason goal, they will look back at this game and realize it cost them big time.
Pass the gravy.

General Assembly: Statement by Brazil, Germany, India and Japan (G4) on Security Council reform
"Mr. Chairman,
I have the honor to deliver this statement on behalf of the G4 countries: Brazil, Germany, India and Japan.
It has become clear in the negotiations that a majority of Member States wants a true shift in the power structure and in the dynamics of the Security Council, which also remedies the underrepresentation of the developing world.
This is why the G4 countries have from the start called for a reformed Security Council that adequately reflects the geopolitical realities of the 21st Century. This reform would be in line with Article 23 of the UN Charter, taking into consideration the contributions made by Member states to the maintenance of international peace and security and other purposes of the Organization, and also to equitable geographical distribution.
No doubt: the increased representation of developing countries in both categories of membership is key. This is particularly true for African countries, whose increased voice in the Council is long overdue, as the Permanent Representative of Sierra Leone has reminded us.
Last September, the G4 Ministers emphasized here in New York the importance to enhance dialogue and outreach to African countries, and they noted with appreciation the CARICOM initiative to reinvigorate the IGN process.
The view is also reflected in our proposal, which is known to you all.
At the core, we call for new permanent members from Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Western and Others Group. New non-permanent seats would be allocated to Africa, Asia-Pacific, Eastern Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean. This would also ensure improvement in the participation of smaller countries in the Council.
In this connection, we would also encourage member states and regional groups to pay due consideration in the nomination and election process to adequate representation of small and medium-sized countries from all regions, in particular the small island developing states.
Mr. Chairman,
The G4 believes that the President of the General Assembly's non paper has provided us with a useful reference for the way forward by listing - in a concise and objective manner - all the possible options on the subject of regional representation. And if we look at the tables in the pages 2, 3 and 4 of the non paper, whatever the option taken out of the ones that have been presented so far in the discussions the future membership of the Security Council would not add to more than 27. In fact this would be placed between 21 and 27 members. We understand that the views that are being expressed from the floor today could be helpful to further narrow down the preferences of the membership on this cluster.
After addressing the topic of today's discussion allow me to briefly touch upon two interesting submissions flowing from our previous round of discussion on 19 March.
First, we gladly noted that the Permanent Representative of Italy, on behalf of the Uniting for Consensus Group referred to [and I quote] "an overwhelming majority of member states" [end of quotation] that agreed on the need to reform the veto. In the same statement it was also argued that there was a [and I quote] "broad mainstream tendency in this Assembly" [end of quotation] that should convince the permanent members of the need for a veto reform.
Whether we agree with this assessment or not, it is interesting to note the acknowledgment that clear majorities exist on the reform issues at hand. Given the reservations we continue to hear from some quarters for bringing up the concept of majorities and minorities, Italy's reference to a majority is a welcome admission. We would expect, of course, that this would be consistently applied to the other clusters.
We have seen time and again that there is an overwhelming majority or, if one prefers, a "broad mainstream tendency in this Assembly" for an expansion in both categories of membership, a point you, Mr. Chairman, identified in your letter of 25 July 2012.
But we also noted with interest that the UfC raised questions to the G4 position on the veto as creating or potentially creating a three class system: a category made of the current permanent members, a category made of new permanent members with a moratorium on the use of veto, in addition to non-permanent members. This would, so goes the argument, give the P5 even more power over the other members of the Council and drive or potentially drive a wedge between member states.
This is a curious statement coming from a group that has proposed a three-class Council in a very specific way, and I refer members to model 1d, on page 3 of the non paper.
My conclusion is: we need your objective assessment on where the majority views of the membership are. You are in the unique position to provide this assessment. Let us see where these majority views are and build convergence around them through real give-and-take negotiations. This, Mr. Chairman, is the way we work here at the United Nations and we see no reason why a different template is to be followed on this subject.
The G4 remains committed to work with all reform-oriented member states on finally achieving concrete outcomes. And as the distinguished representative of the L69 Group - the Permanent Representative of Saint Lucia -reminded us, the year 2015 should be seen as a watershed.
Thank you"

In Honolulu, if you're looking for sweets, you'll probably hear mention of La Palme D'Or. It's hidden on the back side of Ala Moana Shopping Center and is one of the best patisseries in town. Think delicate French pastries executed with Japanese sensibilities and precision. Beautiful sweets that are as easy on the eyes as they are on the tongue. Think matcha rolls, mocha jelly, and banana-hazelnut cakes.

SIXTY-year-old Jim Fairhurst is a modern-day Michelangelo, painting not the Sistine Chapel but the ceiling of Blackburn Cathedral.
And the says that the work, in the spirit of the 16th century genius who decorated the Vatican's inner sanctum, is the 'most satisfying' of his 40-year career as a specialist restorer.
High on the scaffolding above the nave, Jim is bringing back to bright life details and figures, including a boss with a grimacing face complete with teeth in its centre.
Mr Fairhurst said: "This is brilliant.
"It is the most satisfying and interesting work I have done since I started aged 15.
"Just to see these wonderful details and be able to give them new life is a real privilege."
Dean of Blackburn Christopher Armstrong said: "We have been a given a donation to do this work as part of our £1.25 million fabric restoration.
"With the Queen coming for Maundy Thursday, it seemed a good idea to get it done now.
"I have been up the scaffolding, and there is wonderful stuff up there.
"The face with teeth in the boss is in the tradition of medieval stonemasons who left such items as signatures in hidden places in cathedrals.
"Sometimes they would give gargoyles the face of the current dean."
Mr Fairhurst works for John Lambert Historic Painting, of Walton Summit, using equipment provided by Kirk Scaffolding of Gorse Street, Blackburn.

In AdWords Express, you'll set up a separate budget. If you use the same login email for both AdWords and AdWords Express, though, you're required to use the same credit card to pay for both advertising products. Your AdWords Express charges will be bundled together with your AdWords charges on your credit card statement. However, you can see your AdWords Express costs separately by viewing your AdWords Express dashboard.
If you would like your advertising costs to be charged to separate credit cards, you'll need to use different login email addresses for your AdWords Express and AdWords accounts.
In AdWords, changes that you make to your account or ad settings may affect your AdWords Express ads.
AdWords will hide some data that show only in AdWords Express, such as some custom conversion types. That means that some aggregate numbers showing in AdWords will include AdWords Express data, but the details won't show for AdWords Express ads. For example, rows in campaign reports will show only AdWords data, but aggregated data can include the total metrics for both types of ads.
However, changing settings related to clicks, calls and getting directions to your business can affect how your AdWords Express ads run. This means that turning these settings on or off in AdWords Express can turn off these automatic optimisation features.
To keep your ads running smoothly, make sure that you manage your AdWords ads in your AdWords dashboard and your AdWords Express ads in your AdWords Express dashboard.

Residents near Withlacoochee, Suwannee rivers warned of pollution
Published: Monday, March 4, 2013 at 11:52 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 4, 2013 at 11:52 a.m.
State officials on Monday warned residents of several North Florida counties about possible contamination of the Withlacoochee and Suwannee rivers because of a water pollution problem in Georgia.
The Withlacoochee Water Pollution Control Plant in Valdosta, Ga., has overflowed into the Withlacoochee River, which flows south and connects with the Suwannee River.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection will collect water samples from the area and the test results will be available within the next week.
Until then, the Florida Department of Health cautions people to avoid contact with those rivers. This includes people in the counties of Dixie, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Lafayette, Levy, Madison, and Suwannee.
Water contaminated by wastewater overflow may contain untreated human sewage with microbes that could cause gastro-intestinal and other diseases.
If you have been in contact with the river water, health officials urge you to wash your hands thoroughly before eating or drinking. Children and elderly as well as people with depressed immune systems are particularly vulnerable to disease so every precaution should be taken to avoid the river water.

Hi guys
i just love rainbow dash she is so cool!
If there's one thing you know you are, it's #1! You tend to be competitive by nature and love to show off your talents at every available moment, but that's often because you've put in a lot of practice to perfect your techniques and want to take pride in your effort. Because of this, you sometimes get a little too proud, fearing competing if you don't feel you can win and getting hotheaded if someone questions your capabilities. You hate losing.
Even though you may be a bit self-centered, you still care deeply for your friends and would stand up for them no matter what. You're deeply loyal to them, even if you may not always show it. Just because they're not as talented as you doesn't mean they're worthless, because you love them for who they are, although you may still joke around and give them a hard time really, who doesn't like a laugh? You're incredibly brave and will be the first one to volunteer to venture off into the unknown or stand up against an enemy, perhaps letting your impulses get a hold of you before a rational plan is actually thought of.
While a lot of ponies may care how they look or concern themselves over what they're doing, you always want to present yourself in the coolest way possible. Whatever someone else is, your goal is to be 20% cooler. Fashion and style are a waste of time to you, because you know that's not what determines how cool a pony is. And if you think dying your hair all of the colors of the rainbow will make you 20% cooler, hey, guess what, because you don't care about appearances, it does.

Google Nexus S vs T-Mobile myTouch 4G
Employing 5-megapixel auto-focus cameras, we find the one with the myTouch 4G excelling over Nexus S. That's because photos exhibit more natural looking color tones with good white balance and sharper fine details in just about every lighting condition. Taking it indoors in low lighting environments, we again witness the same results as it proves to be the more useful handset – plus its flash illuminates shots far better; especially from a distance from 7 feet away. Sure the results with the Nexus S are respectable, but there is no arguing that the myTouch 4G stands higher in this category.

T-Mobile myTouch 4G Sample Video:
Sporting an unchanged stock Android music player, there's nothing too appealing about the music playing experience with the Google Nexus S. Nonetheless, it's still more than functional at its core, but the myTouch 4G subtly improves the presentation with its cover-flow like interface when playing songs. However, we're appalled by the screechy and painfully crackly tones emitted by the speaker on the myTouch 4G. In this case, the strong and deep tones of the Nexus S are more than appreciated – especially for the ears.
Watching high-definition videos is no problem with either Android smartphones as 720p videos play fluidly and without any jerkiness. But without question, the Super AMOLED display of the Google Nexus S easily provides the wow factor to get your eyes affixed to its radiant output. Naturally, its larger real estate and iridescent color output will be more fascinating.
Sizing up with 16GB of free storage with both handsets, it's actually in the form of a microSD card with the myTouch 4G – which is the preferred medium over the internal storage of the Nexus S. Additionally, the microSD card slot just offers the convenience of instantly sharing content with other devices.
Out of the box, the Google Nexus S comes with a variety of Google branded apps that aren't found too often pre-installed – like Google Voice, Google Latitude, and Google Earth. Now even though those specific mentioned apps aren't preloaded with the T-Mobile myTouch 4G, you can quickly pay a visit to the Android Market to get them onto the device. However, one app that we find quite useful is the Wi-Fi calling app with the myTouch 4G which enables you to receive and place voice phones calls via Wi-Fi. So if you're lacking sufficient network connection or don't have it at all, you can get this app running to keep you always connected.

I don't know what they are talking about with the blackness of the screens. I have the MT4G and the black seems really dark to me. And the screen doesn't look faded unless it is about to sleep from non-use, and go in battery save mode. I have not had any connection problems and the internet is super fast with the new high speed processor. I got the MT4G with thinking about sending it back...preconcieved I wasn't going to be happy...but the longer I have it the more I like it. Now I have had it for two weeks and I think I have found the perfect phone for me. After reading this review, it just makes me like it even more. Way to go TMO! You scored on this one....
3. Guest (unregistered)
Ummm, since when did "the things that matter most in a phone", NOT include voice call quality????? Funny review, I don't think you can call the MT4G a clear winner if you are someone who actually uses your phone to make phone calls.... The "S" cleans the MT4G's clock in that arena.
Oh, and just to keep the record straight, the "S" has Internet calling build in natively to the OS, that is why most people don't realize it can do it. Look in call settings for Internet Calls....

I want to buy one of these phones off Craig'slist but i dont know which to pick. The MT4G is cheaper, has more ram, sd card slot, and better camera. The Nexus has an amazing screen, better call quality, i think it looks better, bigger screen, curved display, and capacitive button (which i like). Which one should I choose?
5. ChrisF (unregistered)
The MT4g they use in this review has a bad screen. The first MT4g I bought had the same issue. You can see it in the clock numbers when they have the phones tilted back. See the white line in the middle of the numbers? That's a bad screen. I took mine back and was able to get one with a nice crisp screen. If you are buying one from Craig's list you might want to ask about the screen and get a picture if you can.

What Is the Future for Islet Cell Transplantation Research?
There are two main areas of focus in islet cell transplantation research:
- Collecting enough islet cells to do the transplant: Obtaining enough islet cells for transplantation is a major challenge. Typically, about 1 million islet cells are needed, which is equivalent to two donor pancreases. Because the need surpasses the number of human donors available, researchers are studying the use of cells from other sources, including fetal tissue and animals such as pigs. Researchers are also attempting to grow human islet cells in the laboratory.
- Preventing rejection: Researchers continuously seek to develop new and better anti-rejection drugs. Many advances have been made in anti-rejection drugs over the past 15 years. Newer drugs -- such as tacrolimus (FK506) and rapamycin -- have fewer and less harmful side effects than some older drugs like cyclosporine and prednisone.
Researchers are also working to develop methods of transplanting islet cells that will reduce or eliminate the risk of rejection and the need for immunosuppression. One approach involves coating the islet cells with a special gel that prevents the immune system from recognizing and targeting the donor cells.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/2/2013 (1650 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Four fatal air crashes in less than a year in Manitoba has investigators wanting to see if there is some type of link between them.
Peter Hildebrand, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada's regional director, said Tuesday the latest tragic crash, which killed an adult and three children in southwestern Manitoba on Sunday, has everyone wanting to get more answers on it and other recent crashes.
"Our mandate is to advance transportation safety so if that's our mandate we want to do something about that," Hildebrand said.
"We want to see if there is something out there that has changed. I don't know the answers now, but at the outset of our investigation you don't rule out anything."
Darren Spence, 37, a crop duster based in southwestern Manitoba, was at the controls of the plane when it crashed just outside of Waskada on Sunday, killing him, his sons, 10-year-old Gage and nine-year-old Logan, and a friend of the boys, nine-year-old Dawson Pentecost.
Hildebrand said investigators have to thaw out some of the plane's equipment before they can begin to examine it.
"I know already there doesn't seem to be some sort of link, but the numbers are enough to cause us to look at what's happening," he said.
"Who knows what we might find?"
Al Graham, an 81-year-old pilot from Gimli, was flying his float plane to his remote cabin at Kapekun Lake when he crashed into the lake in May 2012. His body was later recovered.
Gilbert Bourrier, 64, and Tony Butt, 48, both of Winnipeg, were killed in a plane crash near the town of Manitou in southwestern Manitoba in August 2012. The two men were taking off in a two-seat, open-cockpit biplane bound for Winnipeg when it crashed into the community lagoon.
Pilot Mark Gogal died and seven passengers were injured when a Cessna 208 crashed near the Snow Lake airport in November 2012.
Hildebrand said there was one fatal airplane crash in Manitoba in 2010 and another in 2011, but last year there were three and this year already there has been one.
"Maybe it is a statistical blip, but we will look into it," he said.
Hildebrand said once the TSB investigation is complete, they will be send a report to Transport Canada.
Brian Williamson, a Transport Canada spokesman, said in a statement the country's aviation authority "takes all transportation accidents seriously and we are co-operating fully with the Transportation Safety Board in its investigation."
Transport Canada documents show the plane Spence was flying, a six-seater Cessna 210 built in 1963, had been registered by a Virden-based crop-dusting company one month before the crash after being transferred from a Saskatchewan crop-dusting company.
Two funds have been set up in Waskada in the wake of the air crash: The Dawson Pentecost funeral fund, and the Gage, Logan and Dawson Scholarship Fund.
Diane Woodworth, the village's municipal administrator, said one of the funds is to help defray the costs of a kid going to summer hockey camp, while the other is to help shoulder the cost of one of the boy's funeral.
Woodworth said donations can be made at any branch of the Sunrise Credit Union or cheques can be mailed to the Village of Waskada's municipal office, Waskada, MB, R0M 2E0. Cheques for the funeral fund should be made out to the Village of Waskada with funeral fund in the memo line, while donations for the scholarship fund should be made out to the Waskada Athletic Club.

French bread pizza was on the menu every Friday at my elementary school cafeteria. I never once tried it (the plastic-looking cheese and brown-ish sauce freaked me right out) but I've always loved the idea of French bread pizza. It sounds somewhat foreign and exotic, to my 6-year-old self at least (I thought it actually was French), but in reality it's just a great way to turn a store-bought loaf of bread (you can even use day-old bread) into a meal.
You can top your loaf with plain old sauce and cheese, or fancy it up a bit with those greens you bought but aren't sure what to do with. To save a little time, make the Swiss chard au Gratin mixture (that just means greens in a creamy, cheesy sauce) ahead of time and bake everything before you're ready to eat.
Rachael Ray's Swiss Chard au Gratin French Bread Pizzas
Serves: 4
Kosher salt
2 1/4 to 2 1/2 pounds Swiss chard or rainbow chard (3 or 4 large bunches)
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups whole milk
Freshly ground pepper
Freshly grated nutmeg
1/3 recipe Roasted Garlic Paste, recipe follows (or 2 heads roasted garlic)
2 cups shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano
One 24-inch loaf French bread or 2 smaller loaves (3 inches wide)
Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the stems from the chard but keep the leaves whole. Add the chard to the boiling water (the pot will be packed at first) and cook for 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and run under cool water. Drain again, then wrap the chard in a kitchen towel and squeeze to remove the excess water. Chop the chard.
Meanwhile, heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, whisking, for 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and season with salt, pepper and a little nutmeg. Simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Adjust the seasonings to taste. Stir in 1/3 cup Roasted Garlic Paste.
Spread half the chard in the bottom of a medium casserole dish. Top with half the garlic sauce and half the cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with the cheese. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the casserole from the oven and turn on the broiler.
Halve the bread lengthwise, then cut in half crosswise to make four 12-inch-long pieces. Broil the bread, cut-side up, until charred, about 1 minute. Slather with the remaining Roasted Garlic Paste and top each piece with one-quarter of the chard au gratin. Cut each pizza in half and serve.
The unbaked chard au gratin can covered be and refrigerated for a make-ahead meal. Bring to room temperature, then bake as directed.
Roasted Garlic Paste:
6 heads garlic, tops trimmed off to expose all of the cloves
1 cup EVOO
3 tablespoons honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Arrange the garlic in a cluster on a large piece of foil and drizzle with 1/4 cup EVOO. Wrap up the garlic in the foil to make a tightly sealed pouch. Roast until very tender, about 45 minutes. Let cool, then squeeze the garlic from the skins into a food processor. Add the remaining 3/4 cup EVOO and the honey and season with salt and pepper. Puree until smooth, then transfer to a small container. (Alternatively, you can mash the garlic paste with a fork instead of using a food processor.)

LESS than one tailgater a month has been penalised for careless driving on the county's motorways since the police were handed new powers in August, new figures reveal.
Just nine motorists in Lancashire were issued with traffic offence reports for driving too close to the vehicle in front, a BBC Freedom of Information Act shows.
And just 45 were given tickets for needlessly hogging the middle, or outside lane on the motorway.
The majority of drivers penalised avoided penalty points by choosing to attend a driving awareness course instead, which is generally available to first offenders.
While 35 motorists attended a course, just one was given a fixed penalty of £100 and three points on their licence. Four were summonsed to court, and 19 are still waiting to hear their punishment.
A total of 6,359 motorists nationally have been fined for careless, or incon- siderate driving, since August when police were given power to hand out on-the-spot fines.
Blackburn MP Jack Straw criticised the tailgaters, but said the police had to be proportionate.
He said: "My perception is that driving standards have got better, and I have noticed less tailgating than I used to suffer.
"I'm not surprised by these figures and, on the whole, the road safety record in Lancashire is not bad. The police are dealing with, usually, people who tend to lead lawful lives. They have to be careful because they are not pulling over criminals.
"But tailgaters are a real menace."
When the scheme was originally announced, Lancashire road police sergeant John Jennings-Wharton said he felt new enforcements could make Lancashire's roads safer.
"These are driving mistakes which can cause collisions and could result in a death," he said.

Topic: Just me being obsessive.
Hi Everyone,
This has been bugging me and most of you probably don't care, but I thought I would post just for my own crazy obsession or whatever you want to call it. Everyone has their own thing that just drives them crazy. Mine is spelling, grammar, anything to do with writing. I always worry that something I post may be misspelled, worded incorrectly, etc,.etc.,etc. So, with that said, I must tell you that I know when using words like mother, father, sister, and brother that they are not capitalized. I find that I must capitalize these words on this site and I do it as a form of respect for your loved ones. I just had to get that off my chest. I'm sure many of you have crazy obsessions or quirks as well. Lainy, aren't you a clean freak and have been known to polish the stones in your yard? Haha. Tell me your quirky habits so I don't feel like the only weirdo. Now, if only I would have been blessed with the cleaning obsession...
Love you all,
My comments, suggestions, and opinions are based on my experience as a caretaker for my daughter, Lauren and from reading anything I can get my hands on about Cholangiocarcinoma. Please consult a physician for professional guidance.

Leeds United have signed a star in the making from Westville House School in Ilkley.
Sami Pattinson, aged eight, is one of 17 boys who have signed for the Leeds United Academy under-nine squad for next season.
Sami was first spotted by Steve Potter, one of the Westville House football coaches, who then referred him to Leeds for a trial and assessment. Terry Potter (no relation), is head of recruitment at the Academy and is always on the lookout for talented young players.
Sami will have to undertake a rigorous training programme, travel all over the country to play matches against top league clubs and keep up with his school work – no mean feat by anyone's standards – but Sami is excited by the prospect and is keen to work hard to develop his ability.
Rosey James, head teacher at Westville House School, said: "We are all delighted by the success that Sami is having with his football talent. We recognise the enormous dedication and skill that he displays. At Westville we are keen to bring out whatever talent an individual child has and to encourage them to be the best they can. We design the curriculum to fit around the commitments that any child has in order to help them realise their potential."
