You'd be hard-pressed to find someone in the Packers' locker room who wasn't frustrated by Monday night's controversial ending. Perhaps no one was more upset than guard T.J. Lang.
Lang immediately hopped on Twitter following the wild conclusion of Monday's game, in which the Packers were robbed of a victory by the NFL's replacement referees. He, like many of his Green Bay teammates, was upset that the refs called the final play a touchdown, when it clearly shouldn't have been ruled such.
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson tossed a hail mary into the end zone as time expired. Seahawks receiver Golden Tate and Packers safety M.D. Jennings both jumped for the ball in the crowded end zone, and both came down with a piece of it, resulting in a wrestling match as the two players hit the ground. Although two referees standing in the end zone initially made different calls, the play was ruled a touchdown, and the ruling was upheld after further review.
That sent the Twitterverse into a frenzy, with many athletes, entertainers and sports personalities weighing in on the controversial ending. A number of Packers players also reacted on social media, but Lang's tweets were particularly candid, especially given the vulgar nature of his tirade.
"Got [expletive] by the refs.. Embarrassing. Thanks nfl," Lang first fired off.
Then, shortly after, the offensive lineman followed up with, "[Expletive] it NFL.. Fine me and use the money to pay the regular refs."
In between retweeting teammate Greg Jennings (who noted that all he can do is laugh at this point) and Bleacher Report's Aaron Nagler (who insisted that the players should show up and not try), Lang sent a message to Monday's victorious opponents.
"Any player/coach in Seattle that really thinks they won that game has zero integrity as a man and should be embarrassed," Lang tweeted.
Clearly, Lang is not a happy camper, and once the league taps into his wallet, he'll probably be even more frustrated — unless, of course, commissioner Roger Goodell takes his advice.
But that's wishful thinking.

Even Celtics fans could agree with LeBron James in this case.
These replacement refs gotta go man!! Packers just got game took from them. I LOVE NFL football to much to see this type of work.

Aaron Rodgers sums it up perfectly. "It was awful."

- Check Suppliers' Commodity Pricing Accuracy
- Mitigate Supplier Disruption – Spread Out Vendors
- Managing Currency Fluctuation Risks
Already in the midst of grappling with oil price volatility affecting ongoing transportation costs, Fortune 1000 companies are also feeling the sting of the latest natural disasters wreaking havoc on their global supply chains—the Chilean and Icelandic volcanoes and residual effects from the Japan tsunami.
Enterprises' ability to proactively guard against and mitigate these types of unforeseen risks, which can cost a company millions of dollars, is imperative. Companies can strategically utilize technology to optimize their supplier activities and sidestep unexpected supply chain hiccups without going into a tailspin each time a natural disaster occurs—namely through improved predictability and enhanced flexibility.

By MICHAEL FALCONE ( @michaelpfalcone )
ABC's RICK KLEIN: David Dewhurst may as well have been dialing up Wendy Davis' fundraising line when he punched "9-1-1." The lieutenant governor of Texas drew himself national attention, and some new momentum for his new-media-savvy primary challengers, when he called a local police department to see if he could get a relative out of jail following a legal scrape. The impact, though, could be broader than that, given the timing: Wendy Davis is in the late stages of deciding whether to run for governor next year. Dewhurst played an important role in Davis' famous filibuster - he was in the chair while she was on the state Senate floor - though that hardly matters. If ever there's an example for running your strongest candidates when opportunities present themselves, the Dewhurst episode is it. If Davis needed further encouragement, there's a tape ready to played on a loop now waiting for her.
ABC's MICHAEL FALCONE: ABC News recently joined Rick Santorum, the once and possibly future White House hopeful, for a morning-to-midnight ride-along around Iowa. It may be more than three years before the 2016 election, but earlier this month Santorum was already back in the state that traditionally kicks off the presidential nominating contest, and the one that gave him a belated victory in the caucuses last year. What became immediately apparent is how much he loves this place: the cornfields, the Pizza Ranch buffets, the Norman Rockwell-esque main streets, the county GOP chairs who treat him like a celebrity, the couple in Oskaloosa who let him stay at their home as if he were a member of the family, and the voters who still recognize him and want to shake his hand. I spent 17 hours embedded with the former Pennsylvania senator traveling more than 430 miles around Iowa, following an itinerary that felt a lot like a typical day here during his 2012 presidential campaign. Is Santorum running for president again in 2016? He won't say - at least not until after the 2014 midterm elections have come and gone. But here's a taste of what it's like to spend a day with him. Decide for yourself: http://abcn.ws/1dvABoC
ABC's DEVIN DWYER: Will President Obama pardon Bradley Manning? It seems highly improbable the anti-leak crusader Obama would grant clemency to the man behind the biggest leak of classified material in U.S. history. Mr. Obama did, after all, publicly condemn Manning as a rogue law-breaker before he even went on trial. Then again, the White House is not rejecting the idea out of hand. "If there is an application that's filed by Mr. Manning or his attorneys, that application will be considered in that process like any other application," said spokesman Josh Earnest on Wednesday. Manning's legal team says a pardon request is in the works, hopeful that at the very least Obama will commute his sentence to time served.
ABC's SHUSHANNAH WALSHE: As the Watergate scandal was exploding, President Richard Nixon was consoled by two men who would be presidents. Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush called Nixon, according to new recordings released Wednesday out of the Nixon Library and Museum. It was hours after Nixon had addressed the nation on April 30, 1973 but he still joked around with the then-governor of California telling Reagan, "I so appreciate your calling and give my greatest love to Nancy. How did you ever marry such a pretty girl? Good God!" The conversation ended with Reagan telling Nixon, "This too shall pass." "Everything passes," Nixon answered. When George H.W. Bush called, he told Nixon he had been trying to get through to the president earlier, but Nixon said he had "been on the phone, George, all night." Nixon assured Bush, who was RNC chairman: "The main thing is, you had nothing to do with this goddamn thing. We're gonna go on." Bush told Nixon to call him for any support and angrily called the political commentators "arrogant bastards. "The thing that burns me up is the feeling that you had and it came through and there's so little credit," Bush told Nixon, who replied he thinks "the people may understand it" and "to hell with the commentators." "This is gonna come through good," Bush assured Nixon, who then thanked him, calling Bush "boy" affectionately before getting off the phone. http://abcn.ws/14kbXnF
WHITE HOUSE PICKS PANEL TO REVIEW NSA PROGRAMS. A group of veteran security experts and former White House officials has been selected to conduct a full review of U.S. surveillance programs and other secret government efforts disclosed over recent months, ABC's MIKE LEVINE and JONATHAN KARL report. Despite internal word of an announcement Thursday, relayed to ABC News, the White House said early Thursday an announcement may now come later. The White House said it is planning to announce the names soon. The group will "consider how we can maintain the trust of the people [and] how we can make sure that there absolutely is no abuse," President Obama said two weeks ago when announcing the group's formation, without identifying who would be on the panel. The identities of the panelists have been a topic of speculation online, raising questions over whether the group would truly be independent in its review. The White House has insisted the group has full independence. http://abcn.ws/14EKPfA
TEXAS LT. GOV. CALLS POLICE AFTER RELATIVE'S ARREST. Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst called a police station to seek the release of a relative jailed on a shoplifting charge, outraging his rivals who have accused him of abusing his power, according to ABC's ANTHONY CASTELLANO. Dewhurst, a Republican who has been in office since 2003, called the Allen Police Department Aug. 3 to seek the release of a relative whom he describes as a "sister-in-law" and a "step-niece-in-law" in different parts of the call. Police released the 12-minute conversation Wednesday. After identifying himself, Dewhurst, 68, is heard asking a sergeant what he needed to do to obtain the release of his relative. The officer tells Dewhurst the case is now in the hands of Collin County authorities and there's nothing he can do. "I am, every year, the No. 1 pick of all of the law enforcement agencies within Texas," Dewhurst tells the officer. "You don't know it, but I'm a supporter of you and a supporter of everybody in law enforcement." Then, Dewhurst asks the sergeant if he can have the number of the county judge, but the officer declined to provide it. Dewhurst, who is running for re-election in 2014, continued to ask what he needed to do to get the relative out of police custody. The sergeant once again explained the procedure and provided him with the number to Collin County, where the relative was going to be transferred. Dewhurst asked the sergeant for his supervisor's number, but the officer said he was not authorized to distribute it. "This lady, in my mind, is 100 percent innocent, and it's just an unfortunate situation of circumstances," Dewhurst said. http://abcn.ws/16z8TDx
-ON DEFENSE: Dewhurst spokesman Travis Considine said in a statement, "David acted as a concerned family member in an attempt to acquire information on how to post bail for his niece while reiterating multiple times in the full conversation that law-enforcement follow their normal protocols and procedures." Allen County Police Department Sgt. Jon Felty told ABC News that Dewhurst did "nothing wrong" and "did not threaten anyone." "He did whatever any family member would do in a similar situation," Felty said. "He did not ask for anything out of line and I do not have a problem with it.
WILL LIBERALS SCREAM FOR HOWARD DEAN AGAIN? Howard Dean yesterday became the latest Democrat to head to Iowa while skillfully dodging questions about whether he's interested in running for president in 2016, ABC's ABBY PHILLIP reports. Dean, a former Democratic candidate for president in 2004 and former governor of Vermont, has a long history with Iowa - namely his prospective presidential bid essentially ended there almost 10 years ago with a feral scream heard around the world. He spoke yesterday at an Iowa Federation of Labor event about an effort by the liberal group Democracy For America to elect more Democratic state legislators. Dean is known to be outspoken, so he didn't dodge either his presidential ambitions or that infamous Iowa moment in which he screamed out all the states he was going to win. "It's great to be back," Dean reportedly told the crowd. "I promise not to list any states." Asked by Iowa radio whether he would run if Hillary doesn't, Dean answered, "We're not going there," according to Radio Iowa's O. Kay Henderson. "I'm supporting Hillary." http://abcn.ws/1d2E00g
-TEAM DEAN: If Dean were to run, he'd probably have to do it by heading straight for Clinton's (or Vice President Joe Biden's) left flank. That would mean a more populist message, focused on expanding, not "reforming" entitlements and Wall Street reform, which some liberal Democrats feel the mainstream of the party has largely abandoned for the sake of political expediency. "If no candidate endorses these positions there's absolutely room for a Howard Dean, Elizabeth Warren-type of candidate," said Matt Wall, press secretary for the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. "That's popular in Democratic states, and our polling shows that it's popular even in Republican states."
VOICES FROM THE PAST: BUSH 41, REAGAN CONSOLED NIXON DURING WATERGATE. It was a day that President Richard Nixon surely would like to have forgotten. It was less than a year after the Watergate break-in, and three of his top aides had resigned and one had been fired. The 37th president went on national television to tell the American public that "whatever improper activities may yet be discovered in connection with this whole sordid affair … I want you to know beyond the shadow of a doubt that during my term as president, justice will be pursued fairly, fully, and impartially, no matter who is involved." Sixteen months later, he would resign in disgrace, but by the end of that day, April 30, 1973, he received two warm, encouraging phone calls from two future presidents, Ronald Reagan, who assured Nixon "this too shall pass," and George H.W. Bush who told him "this is gonna come through good," according to audio recordings released by the National Archives and Records Administration yesterday. Earlier that day, two of his top aides, H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman, had resigned. So had Attorney General Richard Kleindienst, and White House counsel John W. Dean III was fired. It was 10 months after the Watergate break-in and 16 months before the 37th president would resign in disgrace. The audio was captured on a secret recording system that taped more than 3,000 hours between February 1971 and July 1973. The final installment of those tapes, 340 hours, was released Wednesday, ABC's SHUSHANNAH WALSHE, ALISA WIERSEMA and JOHN DONVAN. http://abcn.ws/14kbXnF
-RONALD REAGAN - 'MY HEART WAS WITH YOU': The governor of California, Ronald Reagan, had reached him first that evening. While Nixon seemed eager to get off the phone with both Reagan and Bush, he spoke at times candidly with both men who would go on to become the 40th and 41st presidents. "I just want you to know, we watched and my heart was with you," Reagan said. "I know what this must have been and what this must have been in all these days and what you've been through and I just want you to know that, for whatever it's worth… you can count on us, we're still behind you out here and I wanted you to know that you're in our prayers." Nixon thanked Reagan and said, "Each of us has a different religion…but God damn it, Ron, we have got to build peace in the world. And that's what I'm working on here." "I so appreciate your calling and give my greatest love to Nancy. How did you ever marry such a pretty girl? Good God!" Nixon said. http://abcn.ws/14kbXnF
-GEORGE H.W. BUSH - 'ARROGANT BASTARDS': When George H.W. Bush called, he told Nixon he had been trying to get through to the president earlier, but Nixon said he had "been on the phone, George, all night." Bush told Nixon he watched the speech with his wife Barbara and they had "just attended a Republican leadership conference." "I really was proud of you and, by golly, I know it was tough and I just wanted to tell you that," Bush said. "Because to me it came through clearly and forcefully and it conveyed the depth of feeling that I know you must have had…. I just wanted to tell you that before I went to sleep." Nixon assured Bush, "The main thing is, you had nothing to do with this goddamn thing. We're gonna go on." Bush told Nixon to call him for any support and angrily called the political commentators "arrogant bastards." http://abcn.ws/14kbXnF
BEAU BIDEN UNDERGOES 'SUCCESSFUL PROCEDURE' IN HOUSTON. Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, son of Vice President Biden, "underwent a successful procedure" in Houston on Tuesday and will be discharged today, according to a statement from the vice president and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, ABC's ARLETTE SAENZ notes. "Yesterday, our son Beau underwent a successful procedure," the Bidens said in a statement released this afternoon. "He is in great shape and is going to be discharged tomorrow and heading home to Delaware. He will follow up with his local physicians in the coming weeks." The statement did not detail what procedure Beau Biden underwent. Beau Biden traveled to Houston on Monday for medical evaluations after experiencing weakness and disorientation last week. The vice president accompanied his son to Texas on Monday and remained with him throughout the week. http://abcn.ws/1dtN0te

A contemptible animal who, despite implications suggested by its name, is believed to be human. The wonder llama emits a slightly fishy smell when alarmed, is known to smack its lips when perplexed, and extrapolates from the general to the personal whenever communicating verbally. (See entries for self absorbed). Specimen who are cultivated in urban environments rarely survive, while those cultivated in America's oceanic suburban retreats will inevitably develop an unsavory predilection to hump pant legs of all shapes and sizes.
That wonder llama is in dire need of a muzzle -- not only is its jibberish loud and intrusive, but its spitting is unbearable.

Hope College June 2014 : Page 16
Spring Sports Report MIAA's By Alan Babbitt Best Senior Sheri McCormack qualified for nationals in the 1,500 meters and bettered her school record in the event. (Photo by D3 Photography) league-record 35th Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Commissioner's Cup all-sports championship and an All-America performance in track and field were among the many highlights during a successful 2014 spring sports season at Hope College. Hope totaled 211 points in the Commissioner's Cup standings and topped runner-up Calvin College by two points to claim its third all-sports title in four years. The MIAA Commissioner's Cup award is based on the cumulative performance of each member school in the league's 20 sports for men and women. In track and field, senior Sheri McCormack of Holland, Michigan (West Ottawa), made history when she earned All-America honors in the 1,500 meters at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Championships in Delaware, Ohio. McCormack placed sixth to become the Flying Dutch's first All-American in the event. McCormack also became the fourth Hope athlete in any sport — male or female — to earn A All-America distinction in two sports. She also earned the recognition last fall in cross country. Teammate Jane Pearson also competed at nationals. The sophomore from Lake City, Michigan (Northern Michigan Christian), finished 18th in the heptathlon. McCormack, Pearson and senior Catherine Calyore of Naples, Florida (Barron Collier), all received All-MIAA First-Team honors. McCormack repeated as MIAA Field Day champion in the 1,500 meters, while Pearson helped the Flying Dutch win two relays at Field Day. Calyore was MIAA champion in the 400 meters. Three Hope men's track and field athletes were named All-MIAA First Team: seniors David Dolfin of Hingham, Wisconsin (Oostburg); Steffon Mayhue of Holland, Michigan (Holland); and James Rogers of Saginaw, Michigan (Valley Lutheran). Mayhue won the long jump at the MIAA Field Day for the second time in three seasons, while Rogers was champion in the 1,500 meters. In men's golf, Hope advanced to the Division III Championships and tied for 17th place in the overall standings. The achievement matched the Flying Dutchmen's second-highest finish at nationals. Junior Ben Lewis of Grand Haven, Michigan (Grand Haven), tied for 19th place in the NCAA individual standings at two-over-par. From left, Hope men's golf coach Bob Ebels and golfers Evan Telzerow, Ben Lewis, Winton Munch, Ben Lanting and Collin Breit.

Pretty good...
By: TrentEnu
I have a lot of boots and shoes as I'm on my feet all day and I'm always searching for the ultimate comfort footwear. These shoes rank pretty high. Very light weight first off. The mesh helps the breath and keep your feet dry which is a big plus as you know. Hi tech was a brand that I was iffy on but after a few months of running in these I'm pretty pleased with them. If you have back problems I would recommend these as the soles don't have a ton of cushion

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
If you know the microwave repair part you need, you can browse the list of all parts on the 72188519900, or you can search by name or part description. If you're not sure which part you need, you can narrow your search by selecting a common symptom and we'll show you the repair parts most likely to fix your microwave. Installation instructions provided by other do-it-yourselfers will help guide you through your repair.
This is a grease filter manufactured for a microwave. The microwave grease filter filters the exhaust air and traps any grease flowing out of the appliance. It is important to keep...
This microwave door switch provides power to the various components in the microwave when the door is in a closed position, and interrupts power when the door is open. This door switch is approximately 1 1/2 inches long, and has 2 metal prongs called terminals that extend from its body. If your microwave will not turn or heat properly, there could be an issue with the door switch. You can check the switch for continuity using a multi-meter. With the actuator button depressed, you should see continuity between these terminals. If there is no continuity the switch will need to be replaced.
NOTE: Before you begin this repair, first make sure your microwave is unplugged, and that your capacitor is discharged. A capacitor stores large amounts of electricity even when your microwave is unplugged.
The range thermostat is also commonly known as a stove, oven, cooktop, or range thermal fuse. This thermostat protects your oven from excessive heating, and will shut the oven heat off if excessive heating is detected. This is a genuine part sourced directly from the original manufacturer. You may need to replace this part if your appliance will not heat properly. It is made of metal and is approximately 1 inch in diameter. This part is sold individually. It is recommended to order a spare, especially if you commonly use the self-cleaning function in your oven.
The fuse-time delay may also be known as a line fuse or a microwave fuse, and it is a piece for your microwave. The function of this part is to shut off the microwave if there is a power surge, in order to protect your microwave from damage. You should consider having a service technician install this part as the high-voltage capacitors in a microwave can contain a very harmful electrical charge, even when the microwave is unplugged and has been inactive for some time. The tools that would be needed to complete this installation include a Phillips screwdriver, an insulated screwdriver, and a pair of pliers.
This is a halogen lamp, or light bulb, for a microwave. The microwave light should illuminate the inside of the microwave while the door is open and while the appliance is running....
This is a micro switch, but you may also know it as a door switch and it is compatible with your microwave. The function of the micro switch is to communicate to the electronic control board of your appliance when the door is opened and closed. If this part is broken and needs replacing you will notice your timer activated but the food inside is not being heated. This part measures to be roughly 1.5 inches long by just over half an inch wide, and it is black in color. You will find the location of this part behind the front panel of your microwave.
This tray rotates in your microwave ensuring more even temperatures.
If the turntable on your microwave does not rotate, or you can hear a grinding noise, the problem may be with the motor. The motor is typically located below the floor of the oven, and is accessed through the bottom. The motor is normally held in place with a retaining screw and will have two wires attached to it as well. If the motor is making a grinding noise it will need to be replaced. If the motor does not turn, you can check for voltage or continuity with a multi-meter. Make sure the power is disconnected from your microwave before beginning this repair.

A moratorium on new multifamily housing developments in Streetsboro will continue for at least another six months following Council's unanimous vote April 28.
The ordinance extending the moratorium stipulates that "no new applications shall be accepted by the city of Streetsboro relating to the development of multifamily dwellings" for six months.
The moratorium, which was originally approved by City Council in September 2012, could be extended again, Mayor Glenn Broska said.
Broska believes too many multifamily dwellings would hurt the school system by providing numerous students from families that would not be required to pay property taxes.
"You have large apartment complexes and large multifamily dwellings that add more students than single family homes do," Broska said. "From talking with people in the city, they really feel, as I do, that we have our fair share of multifamily dwellings. We're not trying to exclude anybody. People feel there are enough multifamily dwellings out there now. I'd like to see more single family dwellings."
Broska said he does not believe there is anything illegal about declaring a moratorium on multifamily housing.
"If there is any study that is done about single family housing vs. multifamily housing, I think anyone would find that we have much more multifamily housing than the average community," he said.
Broska said there are no multifamily housing developments pending.
Multifamily housing includes a range of different size developments from Shady Lake Apartments on Route 14 with 340 units to Rowanoake Apartments on Ranch Road, which has 116 units.
Broska said one of the things that makes Streetsboro unique is, "we have housing available for everybody -- large, small and entry-level homes.
"We have it all in Streetsboro," he said. "What we're trying to do is maintain that balance. We're well within what folks in Streetsboro want. There are enough apartments to accommodate people who want to move into the city. We have some high-quality apartments that are well maintained."

New Fabrics from Amy Butler
Nan over at Amy Butler Design sent me a preview of Amy's new fabrics and since I've been loving Amy's designs so much lately I thought I'd post them here for all of you.
In Amy's words: My collection is inspired by the vintage modern spirit of my lifestyle book, Midwest Modern, which just released this fall. With luscious palettes called Ohio Sky and Pink and Orange Dahlias, the colors for this group come from beautiful summer days in my Ohio garden. The mix of organic prints are perfect for fashion, quilting and home dec projects, everything you need to create your own Midwest Modern style!
See the entire collection at amybutlerdesign.com!

Discover Illustrator
Lincoln Agnew once tried to build his own robot out of a plastic bucket, a broken microwave, and "technology," but sadly its abilities were limited to catching fire. Years later, after giving up on world domination, he attended the Alberta College of Art and Design, where he obtained degrees in both illustration and photography. Lincoln made his debut as a picture book illustrator with Harry and Horsie, for which he won the 2009 Society of Illustrators "The Original Art" Founder's Award as well as the Marion Vannett Ridgway Award. He is currently rebuilding that robot.

There's an exciting summer of sport ahead with the football kicking off today (and yes, we did intend that pun) and a host of other events taking place throughout the summer. This year's sporting calendar is packed full of exciting events. But why leave it to the professionals to have all the fun? Be inspired, fly somewhere exotic and get active this summer.
Where to go and what to do
If you've never been scuba diving before then head to Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt. This family-friendly resort has a range of top diving schools and is fantastically equipped for beginners thanks to the warm, clear waters of the Red Sea.
Water-babies might prefer a spot of surfing in Agadir. This beautiful beach resort sits on the West coast of Morocco so is blessed with the waves of the North Atlantic Ocean.
The Canary Islands are another destination famed for watersports try windsurfing or if you're a little more adventurous kite surfing – which involves flying a kite while you balance on the board!
For those who prefer to stay on dry land then how about horse riding in Cyprus? Get fantastic views from your saddle as you ride alongside the olive groves or make like Black Beauty and head to the beach and gallop along the sand.
Alternatively, why not plan ahead and book in a skiing holiday for later this year. Whether it's Innsbruck in Austria, Grenoble in France, or Friedrichshafen in Germany, the ski season usually begins at the end of October so it will give you something to look forward to when the summer's over.
Fancy something out of the ordinary?
If all that sounds a bit tame then you could always try something a little out of the ordinary.
The game of Picigin (pronounced 'pih-tsih-gheen') originates from Split in Croatia and involves keeping a small ball from touching the water – a bit like volleyball but without the net. The World Championship takes place this Sunday in Split so you can see the pros in action!
Another ball game which is becoming increasingly popular is Bossaball. Originating in Andalucía just a few years ago, it takes its name from the bossa nova rhythms that often accompany games. The game is played on a court made up of trampolines and protective inflatables divided by a net, with teams combining elements of volleyball, football, trampoline and capoeira to get the ball over the net.
Spectator Sports
If you're more of a spectator than a participant, why not jump on a plane and get to the heart of the action? Everyone likes watching big sporting events on TV but nothing quite beats being at the main event – from the roar of the crowd to seeing the world's best sportsmen and women right there in front of you, there's nothing quite like it.
Trust us, you'll be hard-pressed to remain a spectator with all the action on show. So pick your event and make the most of this summer!

I am not getting the crocheting done sitting here trying to make a dollar or 2. The baby is due December 30th that I want to give this blanket. Even tho I got the desired width, I am still not completely satisfied with how the pattern looks. I have another similar one that I may work a bit on tonight.
Before I can do any crocheting, I need to clean the kitchen. I enjoy eating but cleaning the kitchen afterwards does in no way appeal to me.

While plenty of high-yield opportunities exist, investors must always consider the safety of their dividend and the total return potential of their investment. It is not uncommon for a struggling company to suspend high-yielding dividends and subsequently result in precipitous share price declines.
TheStreet Ratings' stock rating model views dividends favorably, but not so much that other factors are disregarded. Our model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e. how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits?; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to its stock's performance.
These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel — rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
The following pages contain our analysis of 3 stocks with substantial yields, that ultimately, we have rated "Buy."
Verizon CommunicationsDividend Yield: 4.10% Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) shares currently have a dividend yield of 4.10%. Verizon Communications Inc., through its subsidiaries, provides communications, information and entertainment products and services to consumers, businesses, and governmental agencies worldwide. The company has a P/E ratio of 124.75. The average volume for Verizon Communications has been 12,958,000 shares per day over the past 30 days. Verizon Communications has a market cap of $148.1 billion and is part of the telecommunications industry. Shares are up 17% year to date as of the close of trading on Thursday. TheStreet Ratings rates Verizon Communications as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, increase in net income, good cash flow from operations, expanding profit margins and increase in stock price during the past year. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had generally high debt management risk by most measures that we evaluated. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- VZ's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 0.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 4.2%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Diversified Telecommunication Services industry average. The net income increased by 15.8% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $1,686.00 million to $1,952.00 million.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $7,531.00 million or 26.42% when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of 12.56%.
- The gross profit margin for VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS INC is rather high; currently it is at 62.80%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 6.63% trails the industry average.
- The stock has risen over the past year as investors have generally rewarded the company for its earnings growth and other positive factors like the ones we have cited in this report. Looking ahead, the stock's rise over the last year has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that the other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.

LONDON: Members of the European Parliament have paved the way for hundreds of millions of pounds of subsidies to go to Europe's tobacco farmers – even though Brussels spends huge amounts on anti-smoking campaigns.
Tobacco growers may begin receiving extra cash as soon as next year after MEPs voted to amend the Common Agricultural Policy.
The vote would allow member states to decide which crops receive European Union farming subsidies. Countries such as Bulgaria, Poland and Greece may give huge sums to their tobacco growers as a result.
Critics have argued that the proposed changes to the subsidy system will herald a return to the EU's notorious "butter mountains" and "wine lakes". Now they may see a return to the subsidising of the multi-billion-pound cigarette industry as well.
Owen Paterson, Britain's Environment Secretary, said: "Subsidising Greek and Bulgarian tobacco growers is clearly wrong. Not only would it take us back to the dark days of skewing the basic laws of supply and demand, it would also spend British taxpayers' money on a product that is of absolutely no benefit to our society. I'm fighting hard to stop subsidies being linked to production like this again."
When the old system was scrapped in 2004, tobacco farmers in 12 EU countries received £260 million in subsidies. The scrapping of the subsidy prompted a decline in tobacco farming across the EU, which producers will now hope to reverse.
The European Commission is now running a £27 million campaign to encourage smokers to give up cigarettes. Officials say the initiative is helping hundreds of thousands of people to give up the habit.
On Saturday night critics said the plans to bring back subsidies for tobacco were "wasteful" and "bizarre".
The decision was described as "staggering" by anti-smoking campaigners.
The chief executive of Action on Smoking and Health, Deborah Arnott, said: "This is an outrageous and retrograde step. Tobacco is responsible for more than 650,000 deaths in the EU every year, which is why subsidies were removed for tobacco.
"It makes no sense at all to revert back to subsidising the growth of such a deadly crop and it's staggering that the agriculture committee thinks otherwise. We urge MEPs and the commission to reject the committee's proposal outright."
A spokesman for the European Commission insisted the committee's proposal – allowing the subsidy for tobacco – was unlikely to happen. The spokesman said the amendment would need the approval of "an overwhelming number of member states" to become law.

The system of online registration for next year's elections opens up the possibility of voting fraud, rights organisation TASZ said on Wednesday, calling for the system to be redesigned.
Under the system, a request for registration can be submitted online without preliminary verification of personal ID, the Society for Rights of Freedom told MTI in a statement.
This paves the way for identity fraud since anyone could use another person's data contained on a residency permit, said TASZ. Basic data is quite easy to access, as it is required for signing eg, a property contract or a referendum petition, it added.
TASZ said it was calling on the National Elections Office (NVI) to redesign the online registration system so as to install procedures guaranteeing election transparency.

Julian Assange Senate
March 19, 2012 by staff
Julian Assange Senate, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, a thorn in the side of the governments worldwide thanks to his posting of classified information, will run for a seat in the Australian Senate despite being held under house arrest in the United Kingdom.
The question of whether Assange can succeed in his bid is a good one. On one hand, he has repeatedly been convicted of crimes involving hacking and some people consider him to be a high-tech terrorist. At the same time, he's a master at getting media attention and many people applaud his efforts to make governments more transparent.

Bluebell Lace Socks
This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download
After knitting the socks I painted the blue bells with Jaquard colores and microwaved them for a couple of minutes. It's very hard to not get the color all over. It was a nice experiment, which I will repeat in the future. Of course you don't have to paint the blue bells. ;o)

READING booked their place in second round of the League Cup, thanks to a 3-1 win over visiting League Two side Newport County on Tuesday night.
The Welsh visitors opened brightly, but it was the Royals who took the lead, as Pavel Pogrebnyak beat the offside trap and scored with a lovely chip.
Nick Blackman with an excellent individual strike doubled Reading's advantage with three minutes to go, but Shaun Jeffers' header for Newport set up a tense finale.
This was ended as Craig Tanner drilled home his debut goal, to make sure the Royals are in the hat for the second round draw today.
Reading return to Championship action, when they entertain Ipswich, at the Madejski Stadium on Saturday (kick-off 3pm).

AN East Lancashire social enterprise has been recognised at an awards ceremony.
Community Solutions North West (CSNW), which has bases in Burnley and Accrington, was named the best large social enterprise by Social Enterprise North West after it grew from eight to 21 members of staff in the past year.
The group provides more than 15 community services developed to meet local needs with individualised response, including befriending, a food bank, training, consultancy and volunteering.
It has 180 partner agencies and more than 300 volunteers.
CSNW managing director Deborah Clark collected the award, which was sponsored by Selnet.
She said: "We are in a time of amazing opportunity. By applying innovative business methods to our social enterprise we have been able to grow and develop to meet the needs of our community.
"We are people-focused with all our projects, so to be recognised for our enterprise is a credit to all our staff, volunteers and partners."
The group added the award to its growing collection. In the past 12 months, it has been named the best community enterprise, and was awarded an excellence in training award.
It also achieved the approved provider status for safe and affective practice in befriending.
The not-for-profit organisation also announced it has 'no plans to slow down' their growth with development plans in place at both its sites.
It is hoping to move into a site in Trafalgar Street, Burnley, which is three times larger than its current base.
The foodbank area will remain the same size but the move, subject to planning permission, would allow the organisation to branch out into other projects to help struggling families.
Genevieve Waite of Community Solutions said CSNW helps 1,000 people each week with its various programmes and packs around 200 and 250 food parcels each week.
She added: "The site in Trafalgar Street is three times the size of where we are now.
"But we are hoping, subject to planning, to be able to use it not only as our foodbank distribution centre, but also as a training centre for our befriending service.
"We would also be able to incorporate a shop for the community repaint scheme."

A Closer Look
AWRI's Monthly Newsletter
The newest addition to AWRI's campus is a greenhouse located on the west side of the Field Station. Nicknamed 'The Baby Greenhouse', it measures 8 ft x 12 ft and is currently being used by Dr. Charlyn Partridge's lab to grow the ornamental plant, baby's breath (Gypsophila paniculata). Baby's breath is a highly invasive species throughout the northwest Michigan sand dunes system. It outcompetes native species for space and resources, and alters the natural shifting patterns of the dunes. Through funding provided by an Environmental Protection Agency – Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (EPA-GLRI) grant, Dr. Partridge and her students are using genetic tools to understand how baby's breath colonized the area and track how it is spreading throughout the region. They are also working to determine whether a newly identified color morph in the sand dunes represents a different species of baby's breath. The greenhouse is currently being used to grow two commercial strains of baby's breath, as well as specimens from Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. These specimens will be used to gain more genetic data for this species so that we can better understand their success as an invasive in the region.

This is the 16gb model and it is like new out of the box. There are a few minor, minor hairline scratches on the back but the rest is in pristine condition. It has never been hacked or Jailbroken. I would also be interested in trading straight up for an iPhone locally. I'm located in St. Paul area of MN.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hello. I would be happy to help you and am online now. Let me know when you are back in the chatroom and we can discuss this further
I am online
hello. Thank you for joining me in the room
May I ask a few questions to help gain a better understanding please?
Thank you
May I ask your age?
Do you have any history of mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression in the past?
Anxiety and when young 21 panic attacks
Thanks. As for your question. Is the anxiety keeping you from eating or would you say it's more of a fear of eating?
I had just been really worried about the medical test colonoscopy and endoscopy I was very fearful of having cancer I was really scared and the week prior to eat was so upset I couldn't or didn't feel like eating had to wait two weeks for biopsy reports which came back okay but those whole two weeks was crying off and on worrying and still did not want to eat. it was and still seems to be the anxiety not afraid of eating it is like I am in a cycle now of anxiety
I can imagine that period was extremely stressful for you and I'm very sorry you had to go through that. I am glad to hear that everything is ok. Having said that, it sounds as though an association was made between eating and the stress you were experiencing. It sounds as though even though the results are back that the anxiety is still there and it's having a significant impact on your ability to eat now even though everything is ok. Does that sound to be accurate?
Thank you. Did you give that impression consideration before I brought it up?
helps to know your level of understanding which is why I ask
did you receive my last question?
I have had times of anxiety before and it affects me that I feel queasy for a few days and don't eat but not for this long of time. It feels like I am still worrying about my health
In all likeliness....your mind is still worrying about your health and with that connection still present in your thoughts that's likely what's keeping you in that state....presently do you have any pain or GI distress when you eat?
Not really it is just like the thought of it makes me ill after I do eat something I seem to feel better
ok. So it actually sounds more to be what is considered anticipatory anxiety and perhaps even a mild phobia....does that sound right?
Health anxiety or phobia of serious illness.. And once my anxiety gets out of control I just keep worrying like now I am worried about the weight loss.
it actually sounds more along the lines of phobia of an illness despite having objective results that there is no illness
That is right
May I offer a couple of suggestions?
The first would be for you to consider seeing a therapist that is experienced in treating anxiety and phobias....specifically using a cognitive behavioral approach which will help you look closer at the thoughts you're having...whether they be anxiety or phobia driven and helping you to identify any triggers or prompts that bring them on. This approach also will encourage you to use relaxation measures to help you to manage the anxiety better as well as an approach to sever the connection that your mind has formed concerning the phobia which would likely be a systematic desenstization
The second would be a workbook that concentrated on anxiety and phobia and utilizes the same theoretical approach I mentioned above....would you like a link to the workbook?
This is a great resource and would certainly be a good place for you to start.
Ok thanks
Sure. Are there any other questions I can help you with? I want to make sure you have all your questions answered
Can stress actually cause you to lose your appetite though
it's kind of an intricate process. Stress itself can contribute to queeziness and upset stomach which in turn leads to not wanting to eat
so...in an inderect way...yes it can
Ok thanks again

2010 Wine Bloggers Awards – Nominations Are Open
If you subscribe to wine blogs, invariably you are starting to see the stream of posts about the 2010 Wine Blog Awards.
It's hard to believe only 6 months ago I launched Simple Hedonisms. Its been incredibly rewarding to watch traffic grow. March traffic doubled with 2000 readers and 180,000 hits. That's peanuts compared to guys like Vinography and Fermentation, but the difference in Simple Hedonisms is that the audience is highly localized, by design, First to Sonoma, then the Bay Area, and California. Eventually I will focus on growing National Readership, but that can't really occur until I have the proper time to dedicate, and am not traveling 4 days a week working 12+ hour days. Besides, the main goal of Simple Hedonisms was to "connect passionate consumers to dedicated Artisans" and that's much easier to do initially on a smaller scale.
For those of you not local, it isn't just the blog, its the involvement and participation in the local wine industry that I unfortunately rarely write about, that I spend a lot of rewarding time doing. Whether it's organizing the monthly Facebook Wine Meetups for 60+ people, helping a winery or an association promote an event, or just helping spread the word and help people make connections. I have been blessed to meet and work with many amazing people and organizations, and more importantly, be able to call them friend.
That's a typical William verbose way of saying its a pure Labor of Love. And to that extent, almost all wine blogs are, since most generate little/no income. (Mine runs in the red.) I'd ask that Blog readers take the time to nominate, and then vote for, blogs that you read. Would I be honored if it was Simple Hedonisms? Of course. But I am not about to embark on the heavy self promoting campaigns that will follow, as its not my style, and your readership is my true reward. I do look forward to attending this years Wine Bloggers Conference in Walla Walla and meeting many of my fellow bloggers in person.
The Categories for Nomination are below with a link; each has a description of the award in more detail:
Nominate Now: Best Overall Wine Blog
Nominate Now: Best New Wine Blog
Nominate Now: Best Writing On a Wine Blog
Nominate Now: Best Winery Blog
Nominate Now: Best Single Subject Wine Blog
Nominate Now: Best Wine Reviews on a Wine Blog
Nominate Now: Best Industry/Business Wine Blog
Nominate Now: Best Wine Blog Graphics, Photography, & Presentation
Thanks for reading, nominating, and voting. Cheers!

More roadworks in Sanderstead
11/08/2017 16:54:00......Posted by Tim Pollard
The Croydon Guardian is displaying an official notice of gas main replacement works taking place in Buttermere Gardens, Derwent Drive, Grisedale Gardens and Grisedale Close for 32 weeks from September 4th. This will coincide with the start of term at the Collegiate which will doubtless cause chaos.
Regular readers of this blog won't be remotely surprised to read that the council hasn't liaised with the ward councillors and we therefore have no idea how the council proposes to mitigate the impact of this on residents and the school. Fortunately eagle-eyed resident Helen Redfern spotted the notice and let us know.
I have asked officers for more information and will post it when I get it.
Borough Grange garden furniture
22/08/2017 11:32:00.......Posted by Tim Pollard
Together with ward colleagues Lynne Hale and Yvette Hopley, I yesterday visited Borough Grange to see the new garden furniture provided out of the Sanderstead ward community buget. The old furniture the residents had been using was very dilapidated, so we were pleased to help by supplying some new chairs, table, umbrella and bench.
Unfortunately the weather was not very summery, so the chairs weren't in use! Our thanks to Brett, who appears with us in the photo and who apparently built the furniture from its flatpacked form.
Change to Riddlesdown road works
22/08/2017 11:26:00.......Posted by Tim Pollard
In spite of the site notices posted in the local Guardian annnouncing Southern Gas Networks road works in Riddlesdown commencing 4 Sept, it transpires that the council has not yet agreed the permits and the earliest the works will now start is the beginning of October. It could be later still, if SGN don't move swiftly on their application.
We are hopeful that the council will also act to reduce the length of time required for the works - residents are understandably not thrilled at the proposed 32 week duration.

Update on Addington Road Gas Main replacement
03/08/2017 13:40:00.......Posted by Tim Pollard
This morning Cllr Dudley Mead (Selsdon ward councillor) and I met with representatives of Southern Gas Networks (SGN) and the council to discuss the gas main replacement works taking place this month and next.
At the moment the works are not too much of a nuisance, because there is no school traffic. However, it will be a different story when the schools go back and there are dozens of new parents trying to access Sainsbury's car park to drop off their daughters at Croydon High.
As things stand the council does not yet know how TfL buses will handle the works due for the last two weeks of August whereby there is no right turn in to or out of Upper Selsdon Road. At this point SGN will be using one of the two westbound lanes of Addington Road to carry out the works whilst the other lane is used for traffic. However, this does not leave enough space for buses to right turn in or out, hence the temporary suspension. TfL works out its own diversionary routes for buses, which is why we don't yet know what they will be. We suggested that if there were a daytime parking suspension in Queenhill Road, this might provide a suitable diversion, albeit at the cost of inconveniencing those residents. This solution was used some years back when the SGN works were the other side of the Selsdon junction.
We learned that when the works get down to Mountwood and Ferns Closes in September, there will have to be a three way light on the junctions, but this will only be three way when a car is detected on the Close, this somewhat mitigating the extra delay of a three way light rather than two way.
Finally we suggested that the council may wish to make contact with Croydon High to encourage them to make contact with parents and give them advance warning of the difficulties to come.
Long term roadworks on Addington Road
31/07/2017 18:02:00.......Posted by Tim Pollard
I came back from my holiday yesterday to discover that Southern Gas Networks have started digging up Addington Road for gas main replacement and will apparently be there for ten weeks.
When I passed the site today at 11.30 am (then returned shortly after midday) there was, predictably, nobody working on the site at all - several diggers and piles of material, but no actual workers!
I have been on to the council officers to make two points. Firstly, as far as I can see we again had no warning of this from the council - I have searched my inbox and not found any trace of a message. How can we pre-warn residents if we are kept in the dark about these scheduled road works? Apparently the officers had told the Selsdon councillor team, but not the Sanderstead one – and the road works are actually in Sanderstead!
Secondly I wanted officers to be aware that this is going to cause traffic chaos at rush hour, even more so when the schools go back in September. This area already has amongst the worst congestion in the borough, with the queue from Selsdon lights often crossing the queue from Limpsfield Road Waitrose lights at the Addington Road/Sanderstead Hill roundabout and gridlocking everywhere locally. With the queue starting 500 yards further back towards Sanderstead roundabout, this is going to make conditions there virtually impossible. It's probably tolerable during the holidays, but will be awful thereafter.
I have asked whether any thought has been given to local diversions or one-way systems? I understand from our Selsdon councillors that amongst the measures proposed are no right-turns at the Selsdon junction. This sounds like a recipe for chaos to me.
I have asked that both teams of ward councillors have sight of a proper plan for what is going to happen and when, and how this situation is going to be coped with. I have also challenged whether the ten week period really is necessary? Given the impact this is going to have, can the council not put pressure on SGN to complete the works more quickly, perhaps with double shifts of workers?
In response to my enquiries this morning officers tell me that SGN will explain more about their work via a drop-in session at their cabin on Mountwood Close on Thursday 3 August from 10.30am until 8pm. This had been communicated to the local residents and Selsdon & Ballards ward councillors, but not the Sanderstead ones (and it is in Sanderstead that the current one way lights are installed).
I intend to attend and press hard for a shorter disruption period and perhaps diversions to try to reduce the amount of traffic trying to use the road at this time.
Childhood Obesity - Can we do More?
21/07/2017 08:20:00.......Posted by Yvette Hopley
I am greatly concerned about the level of obesity in our young children in Croydon. Last Monday's cabinet paper highlighted that 22% of children aged 4-5 and 39% of young children aged 10-11 are classified as overweight or obese. Such was the importance of this issue that I took time to attend the Croydon Local Plan hearing. I spoke to the inspector in support of policy DM7 which limits hot food takeaways. A lack of a well balanced healthy diet not only leads to levels of obesity but an increase in long term health conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke. It is important that this issue is tackled at an early age and whilst I understand that companies selling fast food make commercial decisions it is important that we all work together to address this challenge. Many local food businesses are being supported to increase the range of healthy options and improve the quality of food on offer. The Conservative administration introduced the food flagships in schools and I am pleased that the current administration is continuing with this work but can we do more to address this issue?
A number of Essential Repairs Taking Place in Sanderstead

Police Update - Theresa's Walk
30/06/2017 20:42:00.......Posted by Yvette Hopley
Our local safer neighbourhood team has written to residents offering advice further to a number of break-ins from garages during the late evening of Tuesday 27th June into the early hours of Wednesday 28th June 2017 in Theresa's Walk, off St Mary's Road in Sanderstead. The letter states: "The suspect has managed to break in to at least seven garages in the area. Although it is not clear at this time if anything has been stolen, it appears the suspect has been looking for specific items, such as power tools. Burglars will usually try a shed or garage first before they burgle a house or business because they can find the tools they need to get into the building. Can I ask that you please take the following precautions with your garage or shed in order to help us to reduce the chance of these incidents occurring in the future: First off, check that your insurance covers the contents of your shed or outbuildings from theft. It's worth having a good padlock on the door with no exposed screws. Pay attention to hinges, as these are sometimes easily removable. If you have windows then these could be vulnerable unless they're secured with wire mesh or grills. Consider a battery-operated shed/garage alarm. They look low key but they respond to movement or door contact with an extremely loud siren. Lock everything away securely. Tools can be locked inside a locker or box or secured with a chain. Secure your bike to the ground or a lockable stand within a locked shed or garage. Consider ground anchors and other locks designed to fix to floors and walls. Consider draping an old sheet or blanket over the top of mowers or bikes to keep them covered from view. Consider purchasing a garage door stop. Although it might sound like stating the obvious, never leave your garage or shed door unlocked if you're not around. If you believe that your garage, shed or outbuilding has been broken into or attempted to have been broken into, please report this to police immediately either by phoning 101 or making a report online at https://beta.met.police.uk/report/how-to-report-a-crime/ If you have any information that can assist us with our investigation, please contact the Sanderstead Safer Neighbourhood Team on 0208 721 2470 or email email@example.com. If you would prefer to remain anonymous, please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Yours sincerely, PC Stephen Wilson, PC Robert Brett and PCSO Sam Brooks Sanderstead Safer Neighbourhood Team
Armed Forces Day - Flag Raising - Grenfell Tower Minutes Silence
19/06/2017 12:44:00.......Posted by Yvette Hopley
I attended the Armed Forces Day Flag raising at Croydon Town Hall to mark the start of Armed Forces Week. The Mayor of Croydon raised the flag accompanied by members of Croydon's Reserve Army Units, Councillors and members of The Borough's Armed Forces Covenant committee.
A minutes silence was also observed at 11am to remember the victims of the Grenfell Tower disaster at the cenotaph outside the town hall. At least 58 people are believed to have died in the fire that started in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Tragically, this number is expected to rise. My thoughts and prayers are with the families, friends and community.
South East Cancer Help Centre - Vice Chairman
16/06/2017 16:00:00.......Posted by Yvette Hopley
I was extremely pleased to be appointed Vice Chairman of the South East Cancer Help Centre in Purley at its recent board meeting. I chose the centre as one of my charities when I was Mayor of Croydon and now I can have the opportunity to help support this important charity in its work which is supporting many residents of Croydon who rely on the centre for counselling and support.
SECHC aims to give any person affected by cancer an opportunity to explore ways which may help them to cope with their situation. Confidentiality is always maintained. The Centre aims to respect and support them in the choices they make and to provide individual and group support, complementary therapies and information within a friendly, caring environment. These services have local NHS recognition.
Our policy is to provide time and support in addition to that available from healthcare professionals at a notional cost to the Member. We give information but not advice about cancer and its treatment.
Our strategy is to remain a well managed independent charity, staffed predominantly by trained Volunteers, with professional guidance and support. We aim to be well known and respected in our community. We seek to retain sufficient financial reserves to cope with fluctuations in fundraising and grant aid.
