Summer Fairs & Fun in Western MassachusettsTuesday, July 15th, 2014
After the seemingly endless, brutal winter, we and our visitors are more ready for summer shorts and Chacos than ever before.
Luckily there are loads of fun summer events around here in Western Massachusetts, from various town fairs to the Eastern States Exposition. Thank you to masslive.com for the useful listing below.
There is a lot to do with horses in our neck of the woods, as well as arts and crafts and music. We are 20 minutes north of Northampton, and close to the I-91 corridor, so the Deerfield Inn is a good middle spot to stay. We are family-friendly! The walks around here in our state forests are a marvel of (more…)

The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
3.5 Stars
Much better and to my tastes than a previous book I read by this author. What the author is most gifted in writing, besides a spine tingling thriller, is the timing. The story is revealed in two different time frames; 1908 when Sara kept her journal, recalling her childhood and grief while living with her husband, Martin, and having a new grief and the way it plays out which is crucial to the story in the other time period -the today. Today consists of Ruthie, coming home stoned and drunk, waking up unpleasantly to the fact that her mother is missing and her sister is 6 years old. Sobering quickly, Ruthie and Fawn find a few clues to follow, including the secret diary of Sara Harrison Shea and I couldn't put the book down.
Timing - Believing in Sleepers and knowing Gertie has returned.
Timing - Or maybe it is a a living person playing with another's sanity.
Then back and forth.
This is not a book I would strongly recommend to read into the night, waiting for your child to come home. I still had to use the bathroom. Alone. Would I have a Sixth Sense moment? I hoped not. It's an excellent scary book and I enjoyed the the journey before I was privy to the inside info of whether or not the dead could be raised.

I would read it only because the character's name is Ruthie :)
BTW, it sounds like a good scary book, I love to read one of those from time to time
Great review

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter Darren Daniel says he is fit and ready for a tough bout against Jeremy Smith for the middleweight title at the 17th edition of Extreme Fighting Championship (EFC) Africa.
"The way I look at it, Jeremy is standing in the way of my dream and on Friday [today] I will be achieving my dream of being the middleweight champion," Daniel said during the weigh-in at Carnival City yesterday.
"I have been training for this moment since I was 12 years old and I am just happy to be here and give it my all."
Daniel, who defeated Tyron Rightford at EFC 15, heads into the fight having won his last two bouts, while title holder Smith is on a dominant nine-fight winning streak.
"I am in the best shape I've ever been. Every fighter has a style and I will be having a look at what he has been doing," Daniel said.
"Let's see what happens, but I want this more than him and I cannot wait to get out there and do the job."
Daniel, considered the continent's most explosive MMA fighter, felt confident he would walk away with the title and was expecting a stiff challenge from Smith, who would be eager to retain the belt.
In the night's other title fight, undisputed lightweight champion Costa Ioannou would look to defend his belt, when he takes on Leon Mynhardt.
"I've worked on everything like I always do," Ioannou said
"Leon's a tough guy, but it'll not happen for him. I've trained the best that I can and I will go there to impose my game."
Ioannou said he was looking to pick up where he left off after he defeated Adam Speechly in five gruelling rounds at EFC 14.
"Leon has never faced anyone like me for five rounds," Ioannou said.
"I don't think it will last that long. I was the first person to defend my title successfully, the first person to defend it twice and I will be the first to defend it three times." – Sapa

Small Engine
Small Engine Troubleshooting Problems? Ask a Mechanic Now.
Welcome to JUST ANSWER small engines, let me try to help you !!
Pull spark plug and wiyh plug grounded see if you have spark.
If no spark ,locate the single kill wire that goes to the twin coils and unplug it, then check for spark again.
If you now have spark, check the kill wire and the ignition switch, one could be grounding the coils.
I pulled the new spark plugs out and left the magneto/coil wires attached to the plugs and cranked the engine over several times. I didn't get a spark out of either plug. I could not locate the single kill wire you described between the magneto/coils. I disconnected the two twin magneto/coils, I took them to a local lawn mower repair shop to have them checked. Both of the magneto/coils checked out BAD. I ordered 2 new replacement magneto/coils. It will take several days before the parts come in and I am able to install them. We will then see if the engine starts.
I have another tractor problem that may or may not be related to the magneto/coil problem. The battery keeps running down after a couple of uses and I then have to recharge the battery to start the tractor. This tractor has an electric PTO (power take off) unit that engages the cutting blades and draws heavily upon the battery when activated. Is there an alternator on this engine and could it also be going bad? If there is, where is it located and how do I have it checked ?The battery is relatively new and holds a good charge when It is recharged. Is there anything else that would keep the battery from recharging?
I forgot to give you detail info about this engine. it is a 24 hp Intek V Twin engine
by Briggs and Stratton.
Model : 445677
Type:0413 E1
Code: 050523 YG
I purchased it in 2006.
I am still waiting on the 2 magneto coils to install on my Briggs and Stratton 24 hp twin cylinder engine for the lawn tractor. What is the gap that is needed when reinstalling the magneto coils?
I installed the 2 new magneto coils, but the engine still will not start. I put a small amount of gasoline into the carburator, cranked the engine over, but it does not ignite the gas and ocassionally a load "pop" will occur. Any suggestions?
I pulled the valve covers from each cylinder and found a bent and disconnected push rod in each. Good call. Can I straighten and reuse the push bars or must I purchase new ones?
I have already staightened the one slightly bent aluminium push rod and the one slightly bent steel push rod (one from each cylinder). Since it is a weekend and I might not get the new replacement parts until Monday, is it possible to use the straightened push rods temporailly until then? Also, there is a star adjustment screw at the base of each push rod seat, does this need to be readjusted? If so,, how do I make this adjustment?
Why would the upper and lower push rods be bent to each of the rocker arms ? What does this indicate about the valves themselves? Is there a
potential problem here I should be looking for?
You suggested changing all the aluminium pushrods to steel ones. Is there any reason that Briggs does not use all steel ones to start off with in the first place? The aluminium rod besides having a greater diameter also has a somewhat flatened circled ball at the end. The steel rod does not have this flatened section and is perfectly round at the end. Why the difference?
I have installed new steel pushrods into each valve lifter, the lower valve lifter on the left hand side keeps bending the pushrod. What is the problem?
Success!!! I followed your instructions on how to unstick the non moving valve that was bending all the pushrods. I placed a block of wood against the stuck valve lifter and gave it a swift hit with a hammer. The valve came unstuck. I straightened out the new bent steel pushrod and reused it. I made the adjustments to the valve lifter
clearances and put all the pieces back together. It started right up and smoked for awhile because of the oil I squirted into the cylinder to free up the stuck valve. All seems to be working well at this time. Thank you for your help.

Get Organized, Get Happy, Get American Made
Washington, DC (PRWEB) December 28, 2012
With over 2.3 million weddings in 2011, the American wedding market is a vibrant and thriving industry. According to Bride magazine, couples no longer rely on the father of the bride to finance the celebration; 30% of couples today pay for their own wedding. In addition, couples are waiting longer to get hitched, the average groom is 26 with a 25 year old bride. This has led to an increase in the average wedding budget to a hefty $20,000, with about $4,000 just for the honeymoon.
Among the travel agents, wedding planners, caterers, gown makers, and venue vendors rejoicing, handmade quilted accessory maker CraftyStitches celebrates a successful entry into the robust wedding industry. Americans spend $19 billion a year on wedding gifting, where the Washington DC suburb company has placed itself among the rest. The brand has cornered the handmade niche, focusing on custom-made, personalized, American-Made gifts. Founder Jennifer Michael comments "It is so important for Americans to bring manufacturing back to the United States. Made in America products are high-quality because we are a value driven culture with deep history and appreciation for hard work and creativity." CraftyStitches was proudly featured on Martha Stewart's annual American Made Awards. The brand has done continuously well on home goods trendsetter site One King's Lane as a "Gift for her". And the CraftyStitches Signature Travel Jewelry Roll was even named Bridesmaids gift of the year by wedding media group Adorii.
With 2013 in the view, the company plans a retreat to Atlanta to sit down and reflect on the year's success and strategize the upcoming months. While in Atlanta, the team will attend the 2013 Atlanta International Gift and Home Furnishings Trade Market. CraftyStitches is looking to grow into Australia as well as locally by locating a large studio in Northern Virginia. The brand is also looking to grow the movement through sewing classes, tutorials and a new line of 30 Minute DIY sewing kits. Look for CraftyStitches video tutorials in the near future with quick projects for the busy American to de-stress and re-energize.

The former Russian oil executive battling Toronto billionaire Alex Shnaider testified Thursday that he felt pressured to quickly sign a loan agreement handed to him by a lawyer for Mr. Shnaider at a Moscow police station, after an officer "casually" laid his gun on the table.
Michael Shtaif, a former executive with Russian oil firms TNK-BP and Yukos who now lives in Canada, is locked in a legal fight with Mr. Shnaider, who alleges in a civil lawsuit that Mr. Shtaif and a group of co-defendants tried to defraud him of a $50-million investment in a Russian oil joint venture.
Mr. Shtaif denies those allegations and alleges that the Russian-born Mr. Shnaider tried to push him out of the venture, bribed Russian police and influenced authorities there to pursue "spurious" charges against him.
Mr. Shnaider, whose Midland Group began in the Eastern European steel business but has expanded into real estate and other sectors, denies all of the allegations. None of the allegations have been proven. A civil trial in the case began in February and is expected to continue for weeks.
The account of how Mr. Shtaif ended up in a Moscow police station on the afternoon of July 11, 2006, involves a complicated transaction, being overseen by Mr. Shtaif and aimed at buying a Russian oil field, that went awry.
In a complex series of events relayed in court on Thursday, an advance payment of $12-million (U.S.) in promissory notes was held in safety deposit boxes in a Russian bank pending the closing of the 2006 deal. But allegations then surfaced about whether the vendor had valid title to the shares in the oil field. And an agreement about exchanging the promissory notes underwent "inadvertent" changes, giving the vendor premature access to them at the Moscow bank.
Mr. Shtaif testified that Mr. Shnaider and his partner in Midland, Eduard Shyfrin, "decided to use their police connections" to get the notes back. Mr. Shtaif said he accompanied a lawyer for Mr. Shnaider's company to a Moscow police station to file a complaint about the $12-million. While there, Mr. Shtaif testified, he was also forced "under duress" to sign a loan agreement that restructured his joint venture with Mr. Shnaider, turning the billionaire's $50-million investment into a loan and giving Mr. Shnaider majority control.
Present were Peter Ganus, an in-house lawyer for Midland in Russia, and a "Lieutenant-Colonel Kusakin" of the Russian police, Mr. Shtaif testified. The pair briefly stepped out of the room, he said, and then returned.
"When Mr. Kusakin came back, he casually pulled out a gun and put it on the table," Mr. Shtaif told court. "…He didn't point it at me … I got the message where it was going. I signed the agreement."
Mr. Shtaif also testified that Mr. Shnaider paid a $525,000 (U.S.) "bribe" to Russian police in order to prompt them to quickly seize some of the promissory notes held in the bank. Mr. Shtaif told the court that Mr. Shnaider demanded that Mr. Shtaif himself cover this payment. A lawyer for Mr. Shnaider previously testified that the money went to "forensic consultants" to prompt police to try to recover the notes, and was not a bribe.
The issue with the promissory notes was not the first issue with the joint venture. The court has heard that the original corporate shell provided by Mr. Shtaif was a "sham" company created by a convicted Toronto fraudster, Irwin Boock, who was allegedly using the alias John Howard. Mr. Shtaif testified that he was not aware of the company's fraudulent origins, or Mr. Howard's alleged alter ego or past. The venture was later transferred to a new company, Koll Resources Ltd.
Court heard this week that a $10-million instalment toward a $70-million investment in the venture, pledged from a company controlled by the man calling himself Mr. Howard, failed to materialize. Mr. Shtaif testified that he did not intentionally mislead Mr. Shnaider about the payment.Report Typo/Error

Just saw it...pretty entertaining.
It's on Fox Sports. I'm in New York, but I imagine yall carrier has it too.
56 - 49 at the half. JKidd and Bron on one side and Kobe and Durant on the other have been doing work since I started watching.

Just saw it...pretty entertaining.
It's on Fox Sports. I'm in New York, but I imagine yall carrier has it too.
56 - 49 at the half. JKidd and Bron on one side and Kobe and Durant on the other have been doing work since I started watching.
Mike Miller is on fire.
And this halftime show is so lame.
It is good to see basketball again, I really miss it.
Two Things:
1) Even with all the praise he gets, Jason Kidd is still underrated.
2) Bold Prediction: Barring injury, Deron Williams will be a Hall of Famer.
The 2nd half has been a chuckfest. However, I love chucking so it's still entertaining.
SICK block by The Chosen One. SICK pass by JKidd to Bron for the kick-out to Mikey Miller. SICK put-back dunk by Durant.
(Also...Kobe looks mad skinny. He said he's been training hard all summer...maybe he's tryna get even quicker.
Super Bowl XLI Champions
2000 Eastern Conference Champions
Kidd has always been underrated. He's one of my alltime favorites.
Ah, Durrant looks great to me - wow, first I've seen him play and he's going to be a special player - soon
Yup, he looks comfortable already and his arsenal is crazy.
Why the hell is JJ Redick actually being considered for this team? The dude is terrible.
Redick just doesn't look like he's in the same class as the other players.
If you love basketball, I think he has to be.
That spin move, fadaway hook shot was absurd. This kid has EVERYTHING. Also picked some PG's (Billups?) pocket on the proverbial, "poke-away the crossover and pick it up behind the dribbler" move.
Nah he picked Redd.
Redd is making way too many mistakes to make this team, especially if Mike Miller continues shooting the way he is.
Kevin Durant is nasty. Just nasty.
Ok, I'm gonna need more details...what is this freak doing? By the way, I was always in the Durant over Oden camp...
You Got The Tony!!!!!!
Come to the Dark Side -- There's cookies!
Wow. What a summer game that was. Loved the intensity. The difference between Kobe and LeBron was on display during the final 10 seconds.
My 5 cuts would be:
1. Redick (obvious)
2. Chandler (Bosh, STAT, and Howard are enough)
3. Prince (Battier gets the nod)
4. Hinrich (either him or Billups is the odd PG out)
5. Redd (Miller is a better spot-up shooter)
*Durant is good enough to contribute on this team.

This game was far and away better than the All-Star Game.
Durant is going to be the best player coming out of this year's draft by far. Put him on the squad, the kid can definitely compete.
Love him or hate him, Kobe showed everyone why he is the best player on the planet right now. Lebron who? That's right King James, as good as you are those last 10 seconds defined why you aren't even in Bryant's league. Maybe in another 3-4 years.
That was the first time I'd seen him play, and I was blown away by Durant. So smooth, so confident.
He's going to get overpowered his first couple of years defensively, but his offense is already NBA-ready.
I only saw the second half of the game - I had no idea it was on TV or even being played - but it was a really good game - maybe I was just starved for a little basketball.
Did anyone else feel like I did. I figured Kobe would take the last second shot for his team and I figured Lebron would take the last second shot for his team - and I figured Kobe would make his and LeBron would not.
Best thing I can say about Durant is two things. I can't wait to watch him again - he will increase attendance where ever he plays this season. (Oden will too especially here in Indiana). Durant looked like a guy who has been in the NBA 4 or 5 years - not a guy who is 20 years old. Granted I didn't get a chance to really see his defense, or passing, or team defense - so I'm sure the more I watch him the more I'll see his flaws. But he has gifts you cannot teach
Welcome to the world of Kevin Durant and why at least five teams tanked to get him as a consolation prize.

POMONA - Diamond Bar High School was in a giving mood Saturday night.
After all, it was Diamond Ranch head coach Roddy Layton's birthday.
In a game they led at the half, the Brahmas committed seven turnovers in an eventual 50-22 loss to Diamond Ranch at Ganesha High.
The Panthers (4-2, 1-1) received five of the turnovers in the second half, including two in 1:24 stretch during which it turned a one-point halftime deficit into a 33-15 lead.
Diamond Bar (2-5, 1-2) pulled within
11 two plays later but got no closer as turnovers plagued the Brahmas.
Diamond Ranch's William Bryan rushed for 130 of his 152 yards in the second half. He finished with two touchdowns and 22 carries.
Diamond Bar quarterback Tyler Peterson, who threw a 66-yard touchdown pass to Cordell Broadus on the first possession, finished with 308 yards on 18-of-28 passing with two interceptions.
The first interception, which followed four Diamond Bar fumbles, didn't come until less than 10 minutes remained in the game with the Brahmas trailing 36-22. Bryan carried 28 yards to the Diamond Bar 1-yard line on the next play, setting up a touchdown that swelled the Panthers' lead to 43-22 with 9:23 left in the game.
Diamond Ranch evened its league record after a Hacienda League-opening 20-14 loss to two-time defending CIF champion West Covina.
Diamond Bar has lost consecutive league games after an eye-popping 40-3 league-opening victory over Hacienda Heights Los Altos.
After an impressive opening drive was answered by a Diamond Ranch touchdown march, Diamond Bar was poised to take a lead when Broadus committed the game's first turnover was stripped at the Diamond Ranch 5-yard line. The Brahmas didn't complete a pitch on their next possession and fumbled the ball away again at the Diamond Ranch 31-yard line.
The Panthers converted their second takeaway into a 63-yard touchdown drive keyed by a 20-yard screen pass to Bryan on third-and-12. Daniel Salguero stretched a 3-yard run inside the pylon to give Diamond Ranch a 14-7 lead at the 7:04 mark of the second quarter.
After pinning Diamond Ranch, the Brahmas had to drive just 34 yards to tie the game 35 seconds before halftime. But after Tyler Brown's 4-yard touchdown run, Nolan Luzzi executed a fake on the extra point and found Broadus wide open in the end zone for a two-point conversion that gave Diamond Bar a 15-14 lead.
Diamond Ranch drove 74 yards in nine plays to open the second half, finishing the march with Salguero's second touchdown for a 20-15 lead after a 35-yard extra point sailed wide.
The next 10 plays featured three touchdowns and two Diamond Bar fumbles.
Both a fumble and a touchdown occurred on the same play when Diamond Ranch's Daniel Garcia stripped the ball and returned it 22 yards to increase the Panthers' lead to 26-15 lead with 6:50 left in the third quarter.

The glossy, full-color brochure describes it as a place 'where a spiritual focus and academic excellence join hands.' As people familiar with Christian education know, mottoes can be one thing, the day-to-day, year-to-year life of a school, another.
Welcoming its first 150 students into grades five through eleven in fall 1968, Greater Atlanta Christian School is now a K3 through 12th-grade institution with a student population of 1,550. GACS was recognized in 1999 as a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by the U.S. Department of Education.
Top administrator of GACS is president David Fincher. Starting as faculty member in 1972, Fincher moved into top leadership in 1998.
'I'm a preacher's kid,' Fincher said, explaining he grew up from Louisville to the nation's capital while spending most of his early years in Kentucky. Fincher is also an elder at the Campus Church of Christ, whose 1,400 members worship in a building adjacent to the GACS campus.
A graduate of Harding University with a doctorate from the University of Georgia, Fincher is active in educational organizations including the Southern Association of Independent Schools and the Council for American Private Education.
Fincher tags the buildings and grounds of GACS' expansive 74-acre campus in Norcross, Ga., at just under $50 million.
But what happens to the young minds and souls behind the brick and concrete and atop the grassy playing fields? Fincher shares his vision of Christian elementary and secondary education and of GACS in particular.
How do you define Christian education?
It's an education that exalts Jesus and teaches people to look to Jesus and his word. Our job is less to tell them what to think than how to think with Jesus' spirit and word at the center of their lives.
The presence of Christ in our curriculum is what we're about. We're going to present every family to Jesus and his word. For students to have Christ in their lives, that's what wins. Our former president, Jesse Long, used to say, 'we are not a brainwashing organization.' His idea was to teach students how to dig in the word.
My job is to give kids the skills and the knowledge of Christ so they can deal with where the church is 50 years from now.
Some educators see Christian values at odds with the free pursuit of knowledge. What conflicts do you see between promoting values and striving for academic excellence?
There is a perceived conflict, I think because of secular thinking. The Great Creator is the great epitome of all excellence. I support a community of empowerers. The great educator points his students to the truth. How can you be good without God? How good can an education be, if the ethics of the Great Teacher are absent from it?
Christian education will always be in question in some academic circles. If others choose to look down on our approach, so be it. Will we ever make everybody happy? No.
'Excellence' seems an important concept for you. How does a Christian school become truly great, in your estimation?
Everything Jesus did was excellent. God has been teaching us to turn this place over to him. We have been getting out of his way. With egos not allowed, with no kingmakers and kingbreakers, amazing things can happen.
Pragmatically, we wanted a world where superb teachers could come and feel good they are taking care of their families. The Greater Atlanta Christian board made a commitment years ago that they would always pay our teachers at the State of Georgia scale.
How does GACS, a school affiliated with churches of Christ, approach having a student body not exclusively from that tradition?
About 30 percent of our students are from churches of Christ. Atlanta is not a stronghold of churches of Christ nationally. The area has some 5,000 to 7,000 members. A large number of evangelical groups use us. Our students include Baptists, Presbyterians, and those from community churches. We also have Catholics.
Racially, GACS is 7 percent African American, 6 percent Asian, 1 percent Hispanic, and the rest Anglo.
We view our work as metropolitan and international. In post-modern times, I want our school to minister to post-modern families.
Many Christian schools and universities have gone through troubled periods. An example is David Lipscomb University, rescued earlier in its history by the financial generosity of benefactor A.M. Burton. What have been some of GACS' most challenging moments?
We went through tight times in the 1970s. People gave everything from their personal incomes to their jewelry boxes. But the school never missed a paycheck.
The school underwent some spiritually dark days as well. The balance sheet was looking pretty good. But we began to ask, 'Is this as good as it gets?' God had to break us from some pride and self-sufficiency.
We were disturbed by what we didn't see happening in our children's lives. At a faculty retreat, it became clear that we'd been too concerned about what people think. We realized we wanted this school to radically belong to the Lord. We prayed to ask God's forgiveness, and for sin to come to the surface.
This resulted in a metamorphosis. We hired a chaplain to be a spiritual counselor. We changed our schedule, giving up time in the classroom for small groups. Some of these are grief-recovery groups, for example. The purpose of all this, to point kids to Jesus.
Our chapels took on a radically contemporary look beginning in the mid-nineties. It dawned on us, if we're going to reach students, we better reach them with drama, with music, and with messages that tapped their souls and their generation.
The service component was another factor. We have mission days, one in the fall, one in the spring. We give up class time for students to be actively serving.
As president of a successful Christian primary and secondary school, what is your vision of leadership?
God has chosen leaders for the school who don't think they have all the answers. Everything centers around our mission, itself a take-off on scripture: 'To Help Each Student Grow As Jesus Did, In Wisdom, In Stature, And In Favor With God and Man.'
Our vision has not been heirarchical, rather, to get great people and then empower them. Power is not a limited commodity. Power only multiplies when you're not the king anymore.
I have told the faculty, 'you have made the great things happen.' For example, teacher Dwight Love dreamed of a powerful math school. We are now one of the top two or three in the Southeast. We have a professional mentoring program that came about as our faculty wondered how to help new and transitioning teachers. It is completely teacher-controlled and teacher-dreamed.
We want participation on part of the faculty. Additionally, the GACS board has shown wisdom, insight, support, and trust. God is continually raising up people with a great idea.
If a community starting a Christian school came to you for help, what advice would you offer?
Concretely, search for a wise board of trustees with the flexibility to cope with the changes within the next 20 years. The community will be statistically different in 2020.
Fundamentally, I would encourage them to clarify their agenda as Christ first, not institution first. Everything that is Christ's will be excellent.

Egypt's tourism industry rebounding from 1997 massacre
The number of tourists visiting Egypt in the first half of the year rose by 11 percent over the same period last year, confirming that the tourism is recovering from the 1997 Luxor massacre, economy ministry figures show.
Nearly 2.66 million tourists visited Egypt in the first six months of the year, compared to some 2.40 million tourists who came here during January to June of 1999, according to statistics published this week.
Last year, a total of 4.79 million tourists visited Egypt.
This year's increase confirms that Egypt is rebounding from the plunge in business that followed the November 1997 massacre of 58 tourists in the southern city of Luxor by Muslim militants.
The ministry's figures show that 58 percent of the tourists come from western or southern Europe, 20 percent from the Middle East and and seven percent North America. – (AFP)

UK Tax
UK Tax Questions? Ask a UK Tax Advisor for answers ASAP
Hi.So long as you remain non-UK resident until at least 6 April 2014 (5 complete tax years starting from 6 April 2009) you will not have to pay CGT in the UK on any gain you make. If you return to the UK to live before 6 April 2014, the gain will be taxable in the year of your return subject to main residence and letting reliefs. As far as your tax return is concerned, you do not need to report the gain but it would be as well to put a note in the white space on the return to notify the tax office that you have sold the property. I hope this helps but let me know if you have any further questions.

A crowd estimated at 300 people turned up at the Klickitat County Republican Second Amendment town hall meeting Saturday at the Centerville Grange. Washington State 14th District Representatives Norm Johnson and Charles Ross were the speakers in an afternoon session in which they said they are essentially "on defense" these days against a Democrat House majority when it comes to gun issues. However, Rep. Ross was careful to note they have some pro-gun Democrat allies, which is why the major gun control measures have not passed in Olympia. Biggest laugh of the day came from Dave Workman, Communications Director for the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms and the Second Amendment Foundation noted that "Seattle is only 20 minutes in any direction from the United States."

John Deere Boots: Men's Brown JD7305 Steel Toe Met Guard Insulated Work Boots
We've all stopped to admire a lawnmower now and then, and the slickest and baddest grass machines are usually made by John Deere. But when you can't ride on that amazing mower, you're going to be on your feet...probably working hard. And these John Deere Men's Brow ... (see full details) (see specifications) #JDEJD7305.
John Deere Boots: Men's Brown JD7305 Steel Toe Met Guard Insulated Work Boots
We've all stopped to admire a lawnmower now and then, and the slickest and baddest grass machines are usually made by John Deere. But when you can't ride on that amazing mower, you're going to be on your feet...probably working hard. And these John Deere Men's Brown JD7305 Steel Toe Met Guard Insulated EH Work Boots do everything except cut the grass. Put them on your feet because they're some of the slickest and baddest boots you're going to find.
There's nothing fancy about the design of these John Deere boots. It's just smooth leather, quality materials, and amazing features that keep you ready to work when you wear these steel toe boots. That's because the shiny uppers really don't need anything extra -- as they stand, they're pretty perfect.
The 7-inch uppers of these EH boots are styled with black raspberry soggy leather, and trust us it doesn't feel the way it sounds. The black raspberry shade is a rich, multi-faceted brown. Soggy leather has a textured, pebbled look. Best of all, these insulated boots have a zipper, so they're easy to get in and out of.
While the durable leather surrounds your steps with a flexible shell of comfort, the moisture-wicking lining works to keep your skin dry. The fabric of these met guard boots pulls sweat away from your feet so you have one less thing to worry about when you're trying to work. Strong tempered steel supports your steps, lifting your arches to prevent painful muscle strain.
Airflow comfort inserts keep your stride cushioned from toe to heel. Ball shock absorbers and gel heels, built right in to the design of these John Deere boots, absorb shock right where it's going to impact your steps the hardest. Remove the contouring, orthotic inserts any time for cleaning. They're called Airflow due to the technology. These inserts are designed to keep you cool when you wear these safety toe boots. Air is forced through the ports when you step to deliver ventilating comfort right to your feet. The inserts are covered with moisture-control sock lining to provide you with more dry comfort.
The softness of EVA foam was used in the midsole layer of these brown boots, giving you another level of shock-absorbent comfort. Weather-resistant Goodyear welt stitching was used to attach the flexible soles to the rest of the design of these JD7305 boots. The welt stitching makes it easy for you to replace the soles if needed, but they're pretty tough, so that won't happen for a while. The soles are made with shock-resistant Corral rubber that's resistant to oils, heat, and even mud. The slip-resistant tread keeps your stride steady and safer.
Rated to meet EH standards, the soles of these slip-resistant boots are ASTM F2413-05 approved to absorb dangerous electrical hazards. The steel toes meet ASTM F2413-05 standards for protective footwear as well. And while the toe caps of these John Deere boots protect the tips of your feet, the metatarsal guards help to protect the rest. They guard the tops of your feet from dangerous impact and compression, bad stuff that happens around falling objects. The met guards meet ASTM MT75 safety standards.
Stop and admire these John Deere Brown JD7305 Steel Toe Met Guard Insulated EH Work Boots all you want. But if you really want to do yourself a favor, you'll stop and put them on.

Sharpsburg officials mull changes to code program
Sharpsburg's procedures for inspecting rental properties will need to change or the code program will run out of funds in June.
Councilman Lou DeLuca said a proposal to require a minimum of one inspection every two years would keep the program funded.
The cost of $50 per inspection cycle would remain the same.
The change also would allow the borough to inspect a property more than once during that cycle if needed.
"If we want to do more than one inspection, we are open to do that," DeLuca said.
DeLuca said inspections could be done again if a fire call is received.
The changes would cost less for the borough, DeLuca said.
To keep it going in its current form, the cost for property owners would need to increase, he said.
The borough can save more money by having a part-time person performing inspections.
If the changes are made, the inspections could be done by someone employed part-time, which also would save the borough money, DeLuca said.
The borough would still send out a form each year to make sure the records of who is living in town are updated.
Mayor Richard Panza had suggested decreasing the fee but officials agreed that the current price was needed to pay for the program.
Inspections will be done at the same time rather than split the town up into sections.
Council President Renee Procopio said because the borough doesn't have wards or districts that would be difficult to do.
"We don't really have that break point," Procopio said.
DeLuca will lead a committee to finalize changes.
He said he hoped to vote on the changes soon.
"We definitely need to move forward," DeLuca said.

Ousted Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe says he touted equal revenue sharing and members granting their television rights to the conference years ago, but the schools — and not just Texas — liked the idea of being able to start their own networks.
Beebe said in a phone interview with The Associated Press that Oklahoma, Nebraska and even Texas A&M were interested in the idea of starting some type of network for their sports programs.
Beebe says he was never given a specific reason as to why he was pushed out of his job last month.
He also said Sunday he was disappointed Texas A&M had already been working toward a move to the Southeastern Conference before he was allowed to address the Aggies' concerns about Texas' Longhorn Network.

This weekend a college acquaintance of mine, who happens to read this blog, messaged me that she just found out her husband was having an affair. After the initial shock she said she NEEDED to know all the lurid details, and implored her husband to answer every single one of her questions in regards to the woman he slept with outside of their marriage. She even admitted that she is INTENT on meeting this woman.
Personally, if my husband were to cheat on me the thought of meeting her seems like it would only further crush my spirit. I'd probably just end up obsessing over every last detail of her physical and emotional makeup, comparing it to my own. I'd probably end up falling short in the interim, because I think any of us can find flaws and often covet the features we don't possess. I'd probably think– did he have an affair with this woman because her nose was straighter or her butt tighter? All the features that I felt insecure about would simply become magnified in these other women. And in the end I'd probably end up feeling such a sense of self loathing. And then there's the whole not being able to take back the past, and so seeing these women would just be huge concrete reminders of my husbands' transgressions, and the fact that our marriage would ultimately never be the same.
On the flip side, I empathize with my friend and I too might want to contact this woman to reprimand her and to tell them how worthless she is for engaging in an affair with a known married man who was also a father. I'd want to publicly humiliate her- I would not want her to silently fade away. I'd want to pin a scarlet letter to her chest and make sure everyone knew she was a partner with my husband in dismantling the union we once had. But clearly any woman who gets involved with a married man has issues of her own, and major character flaws and a conscience that allowed her to engage in an affair. So ultimately, would confronting this woman be worth my time and effort? And then of course these women did not act alone; an affair is a two way street.
I think when you are feeling so raw and wounded you want to lash out and punish everyone who has put you in this predicament, and has shattered the world you attempted to carve out for yourself. So I'm torn; on the one hand I might just want to call her and tell her to go to her doctor's to get checked for genital warts. But on the other hand I think finding the closure and peace I needed would not come from her, it would ultimately come from within me.
Why would a woman want to hear the lurid details of her husband's sexual encounters with another woman? What kind of closure could she possibly garner by finding out about this woman?

Kylie and Kendall Jenner Rock Leather Minis to KIIS FM's Jingle Ball Concert (PHOTOS & VIDEO)
Kylie and Kendall Jenner may have broken out of their older sisters' spotlight, with their own modeling and clothing ventures, and twitter following to boot. But the stylish sisters are keeping up with the Kardashian's style.
Following in Kim, Khloe and Kourtney's fashionable footsteps, the posh pair made a chic appearance at KIIS FM's Jingle Ball concert last night.
Channeling their big sisters, Kylie and Kendall jumped on the season's leather trend in coordinating black leather mini skirts.
While both Jenner sisters appear to have adopted Kim's love of leather, Kendall looked like she shopped Kim's closet before the holiday party, in a classic leather mini and edgy gray cutout top.
Kourtney in the style department, donning a more playful, girly look in a pleated leather mini and black bedazzled tee.

According to recent report, Holmes has offered a $1,000 reward for her daughter's missing pet dog, a chihuahua named Honey.
Suri Cruise's pet dog, a chihuahua named Honey, apparently is missing. According to a TMZ report, the girl's mother Katie Holmes is offering a $1,000 reward for the missing pet. The actress also has posted 50 fliers for the reward and issued a pet Amber alert to notify people in the area of the news.
Sources close to the family said that Honey slipped out of the gate when Suri and her mother took it to a friend's house in Beverly Hills on Sunday, August 24. At that time, the dog which also answered to Maple, its name before the time with Suri, did not wear the collar because they were swimming.
In other news, the star of "The Giver" was recently reported to have moved to a new home in Calabasas, Calif. Holmes reportedly bought the new pad for $3,795,000 in a "super secret" deal. Honey moved with them just before they moved out of their New York home.
In a recent interview with DuJour magazine, Holmes talked about how she copes with public's interest in her personal life. "I just try to live in a way that makes me happy. There's definitely an awareness of the fact that people have camera phones, and that your privacy is sometimes invaded, but that's something that I think everyone has had to adjust to," she said.

Dampier tells TV Hawks 'option'
Golden State Warriors free agent center Erick Dampier hasn't made a decision regarding the Hawks' multiyear contract offer, which is believed to start at $8 million in the first year. But upon arriving home in Jackson, Miss., Tuesday night, he told ABC affiliate WAPT-TV he considers Atlanta "an option."
"Atlanta is close to home," Dampier told the station from the Jackson International Airport. "It's a team in a rebuilding process. Hopefully something can be worked out between me and Atlanta.
If not, I have to work something out, maybe sign for the mid-level [exception, which is valued around $5 million] for two years. Either way it goes, I don't think I can go wrong."
Dampier averaged career-highs with 12.3 points and 11.9 rebounds last season and opted out of a contract that would've paid him about $17 million over the next two seasons. He is the best center on the free agent market, but his options have diminished in recent days.
The New York Knicks tried to work out a sign-and-trade deal in which the Warriors would sign Dampier to a six-year deal starting at $9 million a year, then trade him to the Knicks for former Hawk Nazr Mohammed and Othella Harrington. But that deal fell through when the Warriors traded Nick Van Exel to Portland for Dale Davis and Dan Dickau.
"It hasn't really been a frustrating process," Dampier said of his summer. "It's up to me or whether the Warriors are willing to do a sign-and-trade. Even if they don't, I have other options."
The Memphis Grizzlies and Indiana Pacers are also interested in Dampier, but both teams are above the salary cap. They would have to acquire Dampier through a sign-and-trade or offer him the mid-level exception. The Hawks have about $12 million in cap room and can sign Dampier outright.

Our Staff
A Message from the Director
"Action and experience in the world beyond the classroom are not the same as knowing, analyzing, or problem-solving in the context of research and theory. One is not more valuable than the other, but they bring different gifts to the world-gifts that complement each other. My ideal of the liberal arts education connects knowledge with action in the service of helping communities thrive and prosper. Civic engagement at its core does exactly this. At Drew, civic engagement embodies the values of collaboration, partnership, and reciprocity as necessary to it mission. The Center for Civic Engagement strives to generate opportunities for connecting education with practice in ways that have real and deep benefit for communities beyond Drew. I invite you to join me in our journey toward this goal." – Amy Koritz, Director of the Center for Civic Engagement

Pope Francis has caused quite a stir over his repeated criticisms of free markets during the past year, even going so far as to call capitalism "a new tyranny" in his apostolic exhortation last November. The pontiff doubled down on his economic commentary recently when he claimed that communists – purportedly atheist – had taken up the banner of the poor and suggested that they are closet Christians.
When asked in a recent interview with Rome newspaper Il Messaggero about a post in the Economist magazine that asserted his prior criticisms of capitalism made him sound like a Leninist, Pope Francis said, "I can only say that the communists have stolen our flag. The flag of the poor is Christian. Poverty is at the center of the Gospel."
The Pope continued: "Communists say that all this is communism. Sure, 20 centuries later. So when they speak, one can say to them: 'but then you are Christian,'" he said, laughing.
This would have come as a surprise to the Soviet leader at the heart of the discussion. As Vladimir Lenin himself asserted, "Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism."
While communism has always tried to claim the mantle of the poor, history has clearly demonstrated that it deprives the poor and rich alike (other than those in the ruling class) of both economic and personal liberties. Numerous studies reveal that not only is economic freedom good for prosperity in general, but also for the poor in particular. In an analysis posted on the Ludwig von Mises Institute website, economist Nicolás Cachanosky observed that the poor in the United States still earn average incomes greater than thoses of 60 percent of the world's population, and the poorest 10 percent of the populations in the 25 most-economically free nations earn more than 11 times that of their counterparts in the 25 least-economically free nations.
Communism's evils are not restricted to economics. In the 1999 book, "The Black Book of Communism," the authors tally nearly 100 million people killed by communism during the 20th century. The toll includes 65 million killed in China and 20 million killed in the Soviet Union. Those innocents met their doom through a variety of executions, purges, man-made famines and forced labor (which resulted in death due to exhaustion, illness, hunger or cold). Such brutal regimes are hardly the paragons of Christian virtue.
The truth is that free-market capitalism (as opposed to crony capitalism, which relies on government power to gain undue advantage) has raised more people out of poverty and offered greater economic opportunities than any collectivist program. It is not even close.
Pope Francis would do well to learn that a free-market system, in which trade only occurs when both participants feel they are better off because of it, allows the greatest chances for both rich and poor to succeed. Collectivist economic systems, which are based on political motivations and imposed by governmental force, can only succeed in impoverishing more people equally.

| sayrae3times chapter 1 . 5/5/2008
This is a wonderfully written peice. I really enjoyed how you pointed out that Jess didn't even wake up when Dean broke into their apartment until after the "fight" with Sam. That always bugged me how she couldn't have heard the scuffle in such a small apartment - and for that matter, if she suspected Sam was in a fight with a burgler, why she hadn't come rushing into the room scared out of her wits and worried about Sam. You explained that perfectly and I can easily see it as being reality. Good job :)
| raputathebuta chapter 1 . 5/5/2008
This was really good.
Poor Jess! She never really knew that much about our Sam, did she? I really wish we had gotten to learn more about Sam's time at Stanford.

SPORTS students at the University of Derby Buxton are celebrating a new partnership with one of the UK's top rugby clubs by learning how Sale Sharks put bite into their attack.
The Aviva Premiership side have signed a 'learning lab' agreement which will see Buxton's coaches of the future get access to the side's closely-guarded secrets of success.
And students will mark the deal by watching the Sharks tackle renowned side Northampton Saints in April.
They will also be able to see the first team in training, hold a question-and-answer session with director of rugby Steve Diamond and be put through their paces by the Sharks coaches.
"To be able to watch the training session and chat with their head coaches, both of which are usually behind closed doors, is unique," said Omari Williams, senior lecturer and experiential learning lead for sport at Buxton.
"This is early days for our partnership with Sale Sharks, but hopefully it will lead to work placements with the team which will provide the kind of real-world experience which Buxton prides itself on.
"Producing students who have hands-on experience as well as academic knowledge has led to more University of Derby Buxton students getting jobs within six months of graduation than their counterparts at Oxford or Cambridge."
Helen Stuart, community events coordinator with Sale Sharks, said: "This new partnership with the University of Derby Buxton is a fantastic opportunity for the students to see at close hand the workings of an Aviva Premiership rugby team and we're very much looking forward to working with Omari and the students."

Above is the world's smallest known vertebrate, Paedophryne amanuensis. Researchers found the frog in 2010 in southern Papua New Guinea and just announced the discovery yesterday. From National Geographic:
"World's Smallest Frog Found—Fly-Size Beast Is Tiniest Vertebrate"
Scientists locate the teensy animals by listening for their calls and trying to zero in on the sources of the sounds—no mean feat, since the high pitch of the calls make their sources especially hard for human hearing to locate.
(Louisiana State University biologist Christopher) Austin and graduate student Eric Rittmeyer tried four times to find the frogs before exasperatedly grabbing a big handful of leaf litter and putting it in a plastic bag.
The scientists then combed through the contents until "eventually we saw this tiny thing hop off one of the leaves," Austin said.

Brad Paisley, Stand-Up Comedian?
The hilarious Brad Paisley is hosting a stand-up comedy night featuring a roster of talented comedians including Jon Reep, Greg Hahn, Sarah Tiana, Theo Von, Keith Alberstadt and others.
The hilarious Brad Paisley is hosting a stand-up comedy night featuring a roster of talented comedians including Jon Reep, Greg Hahn, Sarah Tiana, Theo Von, Keith Alberstadt and others.
Brad Paisley is not only one of country music's biggest stars, he's also one of the genre's most accomplished guitar players. He reminded fans of that fact when he performed an impressive acoustic cover of the Eric Clapton classic "Layla" during a recent radio appearance.
Brad Paisley and his wife, actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley, recently renewed their vows after 12 years of marriage.
Brad Paisley and Jimmy Kimmel both traveled to Austin for this year's South by Southwest Festival.
Jimmy Kimmel is headed south — South by Southwest, that is, and he's bringing along Brad Paisley.
Brad Paisley is a man of his word. The country star made good on a promise he made to a young musician by inviting him onstage to jam at a recent concert in Colorado Springs.
Since Brad Paisley is a father to two boys of his own, you might think he'd have some parenting tips for his good friend Carrie Underwood. As it turns out, you'd be wrong.
Brad Paisley plays an average Joe down on his luck in his new song 'Crushin' It.' The track from his most recent album recalls his most playful hits. Think 'Alcohol' or 'Camouflage,' but not quite that serious.
A month after his longtime friend and mentor passed away, Brad Paisley pays tribute to Little Jimmy Dickens' legacy in a new interview.
Brad Paisley has announced the cities and dates for a massive 2015 tour.
Brad Paisley pulled a hilarious prank on the Swon Brothers during their show in Green Bay, Wisc. on Thursday night (Jan. 29).
It was one of the most memorable moments of the 2014 CMA Awards: Brad Paisley "accidentally" let it slip -- in front of millions of people, of course -- that his co-host, Carrie Underwood, is having a baby boy. Now, Paisley is sharing the story behind that big reveal


text: Dzingel signed his Entry Level Contract with the Ottawa Senators, and is therefore ineligible to play college hockey. He'll probably play 1-2 years in the AHL before making the jump to the NHL. I don't necessarily agree with this move, but Dzingel did have a stellar year, but he would have benefitted from an extra year of college hockey, especially to work on his defensive game which he has vastly improved, as well as to make a push for the NCAA tournament. I doubt Ottawa plays him in any games late in the season, even if they're out of the playoffs, as that would burn a year off of his contract, so he's probably headed to Binghamton, Ottawa's AHL affiliate. Best of luck to Ryan, this is a huge loss for Ohio State hockey.

Very clean and affordable hostel. Temperature in the room is good and honored my online order for 2-bed dorm. Although they don't answer my emails (address posted in the hostel world site). Maybe that email is a deadlink...or they don't bother answering emails (I'm not sure). Also, an elevator will be a good investment in the future. ***Oh and there are no pillow cases.... just wondering why is that?

by Matt Tamanini - August 25, 2014
In 1985, Larry Kramer's play 'The Normal Heart' debuted at The Public Theatre, and sent shockwaves through the theatrical community. The play was a current, powerful look at the quick-spread of the AIDS epidemic that was raviging the gay community in New York. In The New York Times, theatre critic Frank Rich said of the initial production, 'There can be little doubt that 'The Normal Heart' is the most outspoken play around - or that it speaks up about a subject that justifies its author's unflagging, at times even hysterical, sense of urgency.'

In the mid 70s the park sold a thin plastic case containing a set of regular size matchbooks each with a different Safari animal on them. I believe the set consisted of about 10 or 12 matchbooks in all. I've seen one or two matchbooks available every so often but haven't seen the set in years. If you have a set and are interested in trading, I have a wide variety of items available. Thanks.
NO LONGER NEEDED: Safari Matchbook Set
Posted 26 February 2013 - 08:01 PM
Posted 29 September 2013 - 06:59 PM
While I am still on the lookout for a complete set of Great Adventure matchbooks, so far I have been able to collect 11 of the 12 matchbook covers. If anyone has a set or the missing matchbook (#10), please let me know. I have added scans of the matches to the GAH Historical Gallery including the inside covers, but here are the animals I have collected so far.
Posted 30 October 2016 - 11:42 PM
I was finally able to acquire a set of complete matchbooks in a plastic container. As suspected, there were 12 matchbooks. Missing matchbook #10 (above) featured zebras. In addition to the matchbooks, the set also included a postcard like the one below. That explains why this postcard was unique and not part of a set like others issued through the years. Makes sense now as the style of this card is similar to the matches.
