This site exists to help anyone who is interested in glass paperweights to find the information that they are looking for. We also offer free help with identification or valuation. This is the main site to which www.thepaperweightpeople.com redirects visitors.
What you can find here:
There are links to various collectors clubs around the world, and to books that can help you understand more about the fascinating and complex subject of paperweights; to various glass paperweight sites; to paperweight makers and dealers; and to other related topics.
There are two Galleries of images: one of Chinese Whites and one of Old English paperweights.
Advice and information - help with paperweight identification and valuation
We can probably help you with the identification and valuation of your paperweights (whether for sale, insurance or probate) - please ask, as we do not charge for this unless you want a written report. We usually help two or three people per week. It is often worth checking our more common weights page to see if it helps.
Paperweights for sale
You can pay by cheque, bank (wire) transfer, or credit or debit card through Paypal (you can now do this without having a Paypal account). Prices shown include worldwide shipping for items priced over £250.00. We sometimes sell paperweights on eBay - click here to check if any are listed at the moment. You will see from our excellent feedback that we are completely reliable, and provide high quality pieces. And, of course, we are always on the lookout to buy interesting paperweights.
We do not sell at any antiques or glass fairs, but we do attend meetings of the Paperweight Collectors Circle and the Northern Paperweight Society.
Recommended books
We recommend Miller's Guide as a good value starter guide ( usually under £5 ) to identifying and learning about glass paperweights. If you collect Caithness paperweights, then the Charlton Catalogue is very helpful, and for Scottish paperweights more generally, try Scottish Paperweights by Bob Hall. For an overview of paperweights more generally, have a look at World Paperweights by Fleming & Pomerencke. There are many more books to do with paperweights and paperweight collecting more widely on the Books pages.
We have added to this site some of the articles that we have written for various publications. We hope they are of interest, and maybe inspire you to join one of the collectors' organisations such as the Paperweight Collectors Circle.
UK Makers
We have some very skilled and innovative makers in the UK, including well known names such as John Deacons, Willie Manson, Peter MacDougall, Peter Holmes, Richard Golding, Jonathan Harris and Mike Hunter. There are many others not as well known. It is worth checking up on smaller glass studios in your own locality - you never know what you will find. In our area we have Siddy Langley and Will Shakspeare - both superb glass artists, who make some paperweights.
Please browse the site, and let me know what you think would improve it - and please send me useful links if you have any. We hope you enjoy the site, and enjoy paperweights......they are an art form, an object of fascination, a topic of conversation..... and no doubt more besides.

Bart Leivo joins Universal Sports Network as vice president of business development. He had been director of business operations at Yahoo. His Linked In profile is already updated with the news.
"Bart is a dynamic and creative executive whose vision makes for a good fit with our growing network," Perkins Miller, chief operating officer of Universal Sports, said in a statement. "He has a keen analytical mind and has a great track record in sports business. His experience will be valuable to Universal Sports as we expand our business opportunities and partnerships."
Leivo, who helped Yahoo partner with Major League Baseball, Rivals.com, UFC and Ticketmaster during his time there, will be tasked with building out USN's business plan. The channel is growing rapidly. In an interview published on Monday, Dick Ebersol spoke about the growth.
"I'm happy to say that in a little less than two years, he's taken them from 3 million homes to some 55 million or 57 million homes, much of it on digital channels broadcast by NBC-owned stations and affiliates. To go from 3 million to 57 million homes has certainly increased its exposure, and their unique association with so many key national and world championships has made them more of a choice for sports fans everywhere than they were before we got involved."

Mary Ellen Slone
Breast cancer survivor, Mary Ellen Slone does not take her health for granted.
Her breast cancer was detected at age 50 during a routine physical with a second opinion confirming her diagnosis. Her initial reaction to the diagnosis was "terror," she recalls, but soon found strength in prayer. "I did my share of praying, I had great doctors and I had a lot to live for." She had a mastectomy and has been cancer-free since that time.
Support was found through family, her husband and hero, Bob, their kids, grandkids and her friends and co-workers. Mary Ellen's biggest challenge throughout her cancer journey was leading a "normal" life. "I kept a full schedule of commitments," she states, "I came to fully realize how fragile life is."
Mary Ellen's advice to others on a breast cancer journey is, "Find a physician you feel comfortable with, read all the current info on breast cancer you can find and don't be ashamed to divulge your fears to people close to you."
How did cancer change her life? "I'm genuinely thankful for every single day, I do not take my health for granted; I've allowed myself to cry." Mary Ellen was also very instrumental in the inception of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Lexington 19 years ago. She, along with four other women worked with the local affiliate to get the initial race started. "I think we had perhaps 300 participants," Mary Ellen recalls. The barrier of media and would-be sponsors being comfortable with using the word 'breast' in public needed to be overcome. She credits Luther Deaton, of Central Bank, as a "huge help getting the first Race for the Cure in Lexington publicized and funded. "Without his commitment, we likely would not have been able to make the first race happen."
Sandra Williams
Sandra has been cancer-free for nine years now. She works as a school social worker and has two adult children, a son and a daughter. Her father is deceased and her mother is 95 years old. In 2005, Sandra was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was detected through a regular mammogram, a test that she had done yearly. After abnormal results, an ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis that was "surprising and devastating."
Sandra states, "I found strength in my faith, with great support from my children, girlfriends, and family members." She also credits the prayers of others and a determination to fight. She was up against a challenge. The sickness that comes with chemotherapy was the biggest challenge of all. Yet, even through the challenge, she sought help through the journey by educating herself to stay ahead. "I read everything: brochures and articles that I could find, and asked many questions," she says.
What advice would Sandra like to give to others on a breast cancer journey? "Stand on your own faith. Surround yourself with positive people. Ask questions and read everything you can to understand your body and how cancer will effect it."
It's been nine years since her cancer diagnosis, but she learned a lot from the experience. Looking back on how cancer has changed her life she states, "Don't stress the small stuff. Things that I thought were so important really aren't. Life is too short not to enjoy it."
Andrea Lynne Higgins
After her diagnosis at the age of 48, Andrea Lynne recalls, "I felt like the universe had shifted from under my feet." When her family physician, Dr. Little detected three suspicious lumps during a physical exam, Andrea Lynne was referred for a diagnostic mammogram. "I learned on 9/22/14 that I was about to partake in the fight of my life," she says.
A mother of two, now facing the challenges of being dependant on others, realized that she was really not Super Woman. Andrea Lynne leaned on her biggest supporters, daughter, Aria, "Fairy Godmother" Mrs. Brown, Mama Joyce, her family and dear friends whom she could always count on. She found her strength by continuously reminding herself, "This, too, shall pass" and writing inspirational quotes in her journal, which she continues to revisit. She credits fellow survivor, Bobbie Niehaus with Susan G. Komen Lexington Affiliate with helping to answer her questions about what to expect after surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, etc.
Advice that Andrea Lynne would like to give others who are battling breast cancer is, "Take one day at a time. Otherwise to look too far ahead becomes overwhelming and almost unbearable. Whatever you go through, although frightening and painful, keep in mind that someone may be watching you to see how you handle your adversity."
Andrea Lynne celebrated being in clinical remission in May 2015. Looking back on her journey, she quotes, "Always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think and twice as beautiful as you'd ever imagined." While things like heavy traffic and copier jams can be frustrating, she also is more aware that "it's all small stuff in the whole scheme of things."
Greg Burchett
Greg Burchett was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 65. He is still currently undergoing treatment 3 years later. His breast cancer was detected by finding a lump which left him "surprised and shocked," he recalls. There have been challenges along the way, however the most significant has been keeping his daily routine. Greg also found great support through his family and church. He states, "My family and my faith in God" gave him the strength to fight.
Resources that have been useful to him during this time have been Cancer Care and the American Cancer Society. Greg states, "With me it's genetic. Get tested. Men and women need check-ups."
Greg is retired, married and has a son. He knows that cancer has changed his life. He states that since his diagnosis, the experience has "increased my faith and made me more appreciative of my family, my time here and my health."
Denise Burdette
At the age of 47, Denise's cancer journey began with a letter saying she needed to have a more detailed mammogram after her routine screening. After her diagnosis, Denise says her first reaction was "this could not be happening to me." She was just devastated. Her husband of 29 years, Randy, went to every doctor's appointment, treatment and took care of her during her 6 months of chemotherapy. She recalls, "I was not the best patient at times, love his heart." Denise's biggest challenge was trying to keep a normal life. "I continued to work through my treatments, and the loss of my hair was really hard to deal with."
Strength came from her husband and family. She was not ready to leave him or her daughter and was not going to let cancer win! She sends a big thanks to her family and colleagues at Lexington Clinic Pediatrics for helping her as well.
Denise says the main advice she would give to anyone battling cancer is to "never give up, fight the fight, enjoy life." She also was given advice by her oncologist, Dr. Rachel Harper to not get on the internet and read anything about your diagnosis. Ask your doctor. She is currently in remission for the last 2 1/2 years and enjoys life with her husband, her precious 22-year-old daughter, Tabitha and some pretty wonderful nieces and nephews.
After her cancer experience, Denise reflects, "Cancer has changed my life by not sweating the small things, finding something good in each day (believe it or not that was pretty easy) and doing good for others. And I love and kiss a lot (my nephew, DJ tells me I kiss too much)."
Kelly Spencer
Kelly's breast cancer was detected at her second annual mammogram at age 41. She knows many women that age who put it off because they think they are too young to have this happen to them. She relates, "I have NO breast cancer history in my family so I could have easily done the same. I'm so thankful I didn't." Kelly remembers that she could not believe she'd just heard the words, "You have cancer." Kelly's support system was in her family and friends, blessed by too many to name. She remembers this as one of the most positive experiences during her journey, "Seeing the genuine goodness of people."
Kelly's biggest struggle during her cancer journey was finding child-care for her young children while she went to her doctor visits, surgeries and treatments. She states, "I believe there is an under-served group of moms out there who need impromptu, short-term, high-quality child care services during this ordeal." She also recalls the physical, mental and emotional stress being extremely taxing but states, "I just took it one day at a time and hugged my children a lot!"
Kelly's number one piece of advice to others would be to reach out to other people who have gone through the same experience. "No one knows better than those who have been there before you, and WE WANT TO HELP!"
She has a passion to make a difference and is now on the Board of Directors at the Susan G. Komen Lexington Affiliate to share her story and give back to the local community. She now owns her own CPA business and states, "I feel at peace with where my life is headed."
Laverne Carter
Laverne had received yearly mammograms faithfully since age 40. Her cancer diagnosis came at age 54. Having lost her husband of 25 years, Rev. Boris Carter, just three months before she recalls that she was calm when they told her she had cancer. "I was still grieving my husband so maybe it hadn't kicked in, but I believe my faith in the Lord kept me calm." Her biggest challenge was telling her daughters, Jessica and Camille about her diagnosis since they'd just lost their father. She was also plagued with health issues during her treatments.
She values the support she received from her family, friends, colleagues at UK and her church family at the First African Baptist Church. "Jesus gave me strength", she says. "My husband appeared before me when I was in recovery and told me everything would be alright. My granddaughter was born six days after my final treatment. I know I had to fight for her and my two daughters."
Laverne visited the American Cancer Society and attended their Look Good Feel Better program. "This is a wonderful program that offers you free makeup and instruction on how to apply it when you are struggling with the loss of hair, eyebrows and eyelashes," she says. Also credited as a resource for information was the UK Comprehensive Breast Cancer Center.
When asked what she would like to tell others experiencing a cancer diagnosis, Laverne answered, "Prayer works for me. Keep a positive attitude and surround yourself with family and friends with positive attitudes. Incorporate a healthier diet and exercise into your lifestyle (this is something I'm still working hard to achieve.)"
Life has changed since her cancer journey. "I believe it made me a stronger person."
Leatha Lightsey
For Leatha Lightsey, 16 years have passed since her breast cancer diagnosis. At age 53, Leatha's cancer was found through a routine yearly physical and mammogram. After multiple tests, she was put under anesthesia and when she awoke, her surgeon told her that the tumor was indeed malignant.
Chemotherapy became Leatha's biggest challenge. Uncomfortable during her first treatment, she ended it halfway through the procedure. Her oncologist offered encouragement and she was able to start again. "Losing my hair was a mind altering experience," she says, "at first I cried and then I convinced myself that I had the look of high fashion."
Leatha's strength and support came from her family, friends, those who adopted her as family, the encouragement of everyone and her Faith in a true and living God. She made a friend in a fellow radiation patient, Wilma. "Through an unspoken agreement, we decided to go through those procedures with a positive, joyous, encouraging attitude." She recalls a song that she would listen to daily, "The Battle Is Not Yours, It's the Lord's." To this day when she hears that song, it brings a smile and reminds her of how it soothed her spirit each day.
She encourages all on a cancer journey to educate themselves. "Don't hold back any uneasiness that you may have from doctors, talk to people who have been through the experience, and cry when you are afraid (it's normal). Wherever your faith lies, pray for comfort and strength," she says.
Cancer changed her life. She shares, "I accept this life, love and appreciate everything that comes into my space. I enjoy victories, accept mistakes and try to encompass, with love, all the lives that enter into this journey of MY life and give all that I can't handle to The Most Supreme Being."
Lorraine Le Stephens
At age 34, Oncology Nurse, Lorraine Le Stephens was told that she had breast cancer. "I felt a lump while I was breastfeeding," she recalls. "My OB/GYN told me I had 'lumpy' breasts due to breastfeeding." Not feeling comfortable with that diagnosis, she pursued another opinion. "I almost doubted myself, but I personally knew that the lump I felt was abnormal and shouldn't be there," she states. Despite hearing patients at work being diagnosed daily with cancer, to hear that news given to her was "very shocking."
"The biggest challenge in my journey was having restrictions after the mastectomies, which limited me caring for my children," states Lorraine. A mother of 3 girls, the youngest being 6 months at the time of her surgery, it was difficult to watch family and friends help care for her children. "They were very little and for me to not be able to carry them or hold them was overwhelming." She did have a strong support system. Her husband, Craig, as well as other family and friends, both from California and Kentucky, and her Baptist Health/UK BMT work family helped her in so many ways. Her strength to fight came from her daughters. "I had a long life to live and I needed to make sure I did everything I could on my side to make sure I got through this journey to see my girls grow," she says.
She wants others to know that "although breast cancer isn't common in young women and harder to detect in young women, I advise anyone who thinks something is odd about their breast to get it checked out. Be persistent."
Amanda Hale
Amanda Hale was 37 years old when her doctor recommended a mammogram after a tiny bump was found in her breast. After the test, they decided to "monitor" the spot for six months. When she returned for the follow-up six months later, she recalls, "The cancer had decided to get nasty!"
Overwhelmed by the diagnosis, the decisions to make and the information, Amanda got emotional. "At first I was angry, and felt pretty sorry for myself. But I quickly realized that settling in that place was not going to help me fight and was not going to keep me around longer," she says. "It woke me up to the frailty of life, the value of every day and taught me what it means to find peace by trusting in God's plan for me and my family."
The greatest challenge for Amanda to overcome was mental. She says, "The physical challenges were not a breeze, but I found that when I got my head and my heart in the right place, the physical challenges were just something to endure and do my best to survive."
Having a great support system through her husband, Clark, her two "awesome kids" (Leah and Fisher), family, church (Calvary Baptist Church), and co-workers (The Lexington School) was priceless. Strength came through prayer, music, writing, family, friends and coworkers. "Scripture and music. An awesome pink wig. Really smart doctors and nurses," she says.
Looking back, now just over 4 years cancer-free she states, "Learning that there are certain things I can control, and ultimately, things I cannot, has been life-changing in a positive way."
Marilee Varner
Marilee recalls feeling a lump. "It was high on my chest, almost out of the breast. The radiologists were never able to visualize it on a mammogram even after they knew it was there. Never disregard a lump," she says. At age 49, she resolved to do what needed to be done to eliminate the breast cancer and be around for her children. "I didn't get emotional," she says, "It felt like it was happening to someone else."
Marilee encourages others on a cancer journey with advice that she hopes will make a difference. "Take time for yourself. Respond in the way that suits you, not everyone deals with adversity in the same manner. Remember there is no right or wrong way."
There are several elements to the outfit that Marilee chose for her photo shoot. "The scarf was one of my favorite head coverings, a gift from my mother, and I chose it to honor a friend's child who is currently in treatment for breast cancer. This young woman's mother was a friend to me when I was being treated and I wish for a speedy recovery for that whole family. The pearl earrings were a gift from my children. While not real, I love them. The sweater is for my parents, Judy and Robert Goodman for all they have done for me both then and always. I wear a smile in honor of all the many friends that supported me. I am grateful to each and every one."
Now in remission for about 3 years, how has life since cancer changed? "I feel great. I have a new and wonderful position at Ashland, the Henry Clay Estate, that I love. Honestly, life couldn't be better and I appreciate each and every day!"
Mike Davis
A few days prior to finding out he had Stage 3 breast cancer, Mike had been in Baton Rouge, sitting two rows behind the Kentucky Wildcat bench, listening to every word Coach Calipari was saying to the Cats team, who would go on to win an 8th National Championship. A knot on his chest, which he'd ignored for a while, had started to itch and be very uncomfortable. After a discussion with his wife, he went to his personal doctor for evaluation and immediately, it was a concern he had breast cancer. He followed up at Baptist Health with his wife of 36 years, Diane and daughter, Eryn. He recalls, "I walked into a room filled with women and felt very embarrassed. The nurse assured me they see lots of men, but she admitted I had to walk down to the next floor just to find a restroom for men. I found this a little humorous."
Finding strength within was difficult, but Mike credits his wife as the strong one. When he thought he could not go on with treatments, she rallied him by reminding him of what was good in his life, such as their grandchildren.
Advice he'd like to share with other men is to not go into a shell like he did. "Reach out, fight, find strength in others who love you and others who have experienced this before." Looking back after his journey Mike states, "My family is stronger, my marriage is unbreakable and I am a better person due to breast cancer."
Now a volunteer for Susan G. Komen Lexington Affiliate, Mike is an advocate for men's breast cancer. "I am proud to tell people that I beat it."
Elisete Correa Amaral
Elisete was 39 years old when she found out she had breast cancer. "I always checked myself, but one night I woke up with really bad pains in my left breast." Her husband encouraged her to see a doctor and they confirmed it was breast cancer. Elisete elected to have a mastectomy, had three months of chemotherapy and then reconstruction in February 2010.
Elisete and her family are from Brazil and had come to the United States in 2007. Married for 17 years, she has three children. Her youngest son was just 10 months old when she was diagnosed. Strength came "with lots of love and support from all who were around me," she says. She wanted to see her boys grow up. "The biggest challenges throughout my journey were taking care of my 10 month old son, accepting the transformation of my body and my hair falling out," says Elisete. She remembers waking up every morning and believing that it would all be done soon.
She had a great support system. "My husband was the one who gave me more strength. He was patient, present and sensible all of the time," she says. Her sons and friends were a great help as well, and even though her mom and sisters were far away in Brazil, they made her feel like they were by her side. One of the resources that Elisete sought help from was a psychologist. "I looked for a psychologist that showed me at the time I needed to let those who love me take care of me."
Elisete now goes to the oncologist for a yearly check-up. Looking back on her cancer journey she believes that, "Those who go through these experiences always come out strengthened."
Tammy Parker Crupper
At age 55, Tammy's breast cancer was detected through a routine, yearly screening mammogram and an ultrasound. "I couldn't believe it," she recalls, "I really didn't think it could happen to me." Then the questions of "Why me?" started to arise. "I would have 'pity parties' for myself and this would just make me mad!" she says. For Tammy, the mental challenge outweighed the physical. She states, "It was very difficult not being depressed. It seemed I would go from one procedure to another and once I would start feeling like myself it would be time for a treatment or procedure."
Throughout her challenges, however, she was also surrounded by support. Tammy credits her husband Jim, sons, Chris and Hunter and her friends at Lexington Women's Health for the impressive encouragement and support. "You really find out your true friends when something like this happens."
Resources that were useful during her cancer journey were her "wonderful oncologist, John Gohmann, an amazing surgeon, Dr. A.J. and a very compassionate plastic surgeon, Dr. Terese LeVan." Throughout, Tammy continued working and praying. "I continued my life as normal as cancer would allow," she says.
If there was advice that Tammy would like to share with others on a cancer journey it would be, "Get a great surgical and oncology team. Keep your head up. Lean on the special people in your life, who you will discover."
Cancer-free for 2 years, Tammy works as a Registered Nurse/Clinical Supervisor at Lexington Women's Health. She has 2 grandchildren, Ryan Elizabeth and Henry Parker, and is expecting another grandson, Cameron, in December.
Looking back, Tammy reflects on how cancer changed her life. "I don't take as many things for granted. Trying not to be too cliche, life is short, enjoy life and don't waste time on things that don't really matter in the end."

Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
notice to landlord for rent abatement
to sue a landlord for rent abatement, what details would need to be included in a notice ?
would the notice inform the landlord to comply within a specfied time or face legal action?
or would the notice be a request for montary compensation, if so what is the percent of the rent the landlord should refund?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Re: notice to landlord for rent abatement
I cannot answer this without more facts.
However, by "notice" I assume you mean a demand to the landlord to pay (they never do at this point, but they know you are serious).
As to the second question, you always tell them to pay within a specified time (usually 7 days), or they will face legal action.
Thirdly, always include an amount too high. If you tell someone they can solve their problems for $100, you can't later tell them it will be $2,000.
As to percent of the rent, you are going to end in court, and let a judge decide. Expecting a landlord to pay, is similar to expecting President Bush to pull the troops out of Irag and Afghanistan, and admit he made a mistake.

Professional Investment Management
A unit trust combines the capital of many investors to employ experienced management in purchasing securities of many companies. The management of a unit trust provides diversification of investments and supervision which few investors could individually afford. Investment management is a full time job which requires specialised knowledge and training.
The most common investing strategy employed by fund management companies is a combination of the 'top-down' approach, 'bottom-up' approach or a combination of both. The top-down approach takes into consideration factors such as macroeconomic outlook, the current business cycle, interest rate trends and other economic factors. Meanwhile, the bottom-up approach, also known as stock picking, looks closely at the fundamental strengths of a company based on management credibility, financial track record and market share. For fixed income securities, the key factors are credit quality, interest rate risks and managing the bond portfolio's exposure to changes in interest rates.
Diversification involves the process of spreading risk over a broad portfolio of stocks and bonds in different companies, sectors, countries or regions. This can only be done with substantial amounts of monies to buy a wide variety of stocks.
Unit trusts facilitate the diversification process by providing small investors with an avenue to pool their savings for the purchase of a diversified portfolio of stocks and/or bonds that will bring higher potential returns at lower risks to unitholders compared with investing directly in stock markets.
Unitholders may redeem all or part of their units on any business day and the unit trust management company will be obliged to purchase them. This means unit trusts come with high liquidity whereby they can be readily converted into cash. In fact, the Securities Commission requires that investors must receive their monies within 10 days from the receipt of the repurchase request by the fund management company, and the value of the redemption will be based on the price determined at the close of the business day in which the request for redemption is received.
Advantages of Compounding
Many unit trust funds provide facilities for investors to reinvest their distributions. For those who opted for distribution reinvestment, the fund will automatically credit the distributions into the account, rather than sending distribution warrants. This process of reinvesting the income from the original investment and also of reinvesting the return on the total accumulating investments is called compounding.
To illustrate, let's say you invested RM100 at the beginning of every month at 25 with an interest growth of 10% per annum. By age 65, your investment would have grown to RM638,000! The key element to compounding is time - the longer the period of time, the greater the growth.
Regularity of Investing
Many people do not have substantial sums of cash available to invest, but they can develop an investment account by investing smaller sums regularly in a unit trust.
Most unit trust funds have plans available to make it possible for smaller investors to invest relatively small amounts monthly. It is easy and inexpensive for an individual to acquire units through deposits of RM100 or more a month in a unit trust fund.
Fund Administration
Few people have the experience, time or facility to properly set up an investment programme, much less to supervise it constantly. Unit trust fund managers are professionals who are devoted to solving the investment problems of people from all walks of life.
Unit trusts relieve their investors of the need to handle their own securities transactions. Investors in unit trust funds are not obliged to concern themselves with matters such as:
1. Obtaining quotations on securities being bought and sold
2. Delivery and payment for the securities involved in each transaction
3. Safekeeping of cash and securities
4. Accounting and bookkeeping procedures, etc
Investors of unit trust funds will receive interim and annual reports which describe:
a. The portfolio of the funds
b. Investment changes made in the period
c. Distributions paid, if any

Clarke County School District teachers were lauded for their dedication, creativity and determination Monday night at the annual awards banquet sponsored by the Foundation for Excellence in Public Education in Clarke County.
The ceremony was kicked off with presentation of the Mae M. Whatley Teacher of the Year Award, received by Cedar Shoals High School teacher Mary Bradbury-Bailey.
Students presented awards to 10 teachers, giving eloquent, and at times humorous, speeches.
In honor of his elementary school physical education teacher, Mary Lynn Lane, Cedar Shoals High School student David Pope sang lyrics from a song she taught him long ago.
''M-U-S-C-L-E-S. Muscles make the very best -- bone movers!''
Each student captured the momentous and the seemingly trivial; those little scenes in classrooms that are etched into everybody's memories.
Clarke Middle School teacher Katherine Thompson received her introduction from student Jerica Kelley. Kelley, with much animation, told of their ''reading cafe'' discussions over books, ''complete with drinks and snacks.'' As soon as Kelley let the food secret slip, she looked up anxiously and said to the group of educators, school board members and Clarke County Superintendent Lewis Holloway, ''I hope that's O.K.''
Wanda Culpepper, a first-grade teacher at Whit Davis Elementary School, received an introduction from former student Jordan Hobson. Hobson, now in high school, spoke about the day the leprechaun came into the classroom and sprinkled candy and green glitter on all of the desks.
Stories like these, and many more, painted a bright picture of Clarke County teachers -- teachers who take students to doctor's appointments, treat them like family members and spend countless hours outside of the classroom nurturing them and preparing them for the future.
Below are the awards received by Clarke County teachers:
Mary Bradbury-Bailey, Mae M. Whatley Teacher of the Year, Cedar Shoals High School
Shirley Sims, Howard B. Stroud Award, Burney-Harris-Lyons Middle School
Jennifer Greer, Ann M. Schindel Chair of Mathematics, Clarke Central High School
Katherine F. Thompson, Cardee Kilpatrick Chair of Middle School Teaching, Clarke Middle School
Joyce H. Moseley, Thomas H. Whitehead Chair of Science, Hilsman Middle School
Teachers of Excellence
Wanda Culpepper, Whit Davis Elementary School
nFaith Huff, Clarke Central High School
Mary Lynn Lane, Fowler Drive Elementary School
Jennifer D. Leahy, Clarke Central High School
Mary M. Quinn, Hilsman Middle School

text: Hi, I have been thinking about fitting a CAI to my S3 8P but at the moment I am wondering how do you undo the nasty hose clamp where the plastic tube from the original air filter goes down the back of the engine to the RHS of the master cylinder? There is not a lot of access and so the conventional plumbers pipe grips or squeezy clamps have no room to get a grip. Would I be correct in thinking that these would do the job? BGS - Flexi Ratchet Hose Clamp Pliers For Fuel & Coolant Hose Clips 630mm Bowden | eBay Also if this is the correct tool, do you attack this clip from the top or up from underneath? What is the current thinking of CAI quality and fitment? I am only interested in a super quality item where appearance is excellent and there are no issues in the fitting. Thank you, Peter

Michael Crabtree, SF, WR (Noise Week 4 WR Rank: 19, 36-percent started)
Matchup: at Atl
Mariah, Aretha and a whole lot of Whitney rolled into one, the San Francisco diva may finally belt out a chart-topping tune. Jimmy Raye's dismissal should remove the padlock from the Niners playbook. Alex Smith, who historically has operated more effectively out of the gun, will likely get an opportunity to play his style of game. Despite ongoing communication problems between Smith and Crabtree the pair should be able to reconnect the severed line. Similar to last season, the Falcons have struggled in pass coverage. At least one receiver has surpassed 80 receiving yards against them in each of their first three games. No. 1 targets have also performed 14.6 percent above the league average versus Dunta Robinson(notes). The second-year wideout has averaged an appalling two receptions and 27 yards per game thus far. However, with the Niners already in desperation mode and Josh Morgan(notes) ailing, he will be more than just a cameo in Week 4. Plant the Crabtree in your starting lineup.
Fearless Forecast: 5 receptions, 74 receiving yards, 1 touchdown, 14 fantasy points

NYC to name-brand free condoms
NEW YORK, Feb. 14 (UPI) -- The city of New York has been giving away free condoms for almost nine months, but now plans to give them away with a city logo on the packaging.
While the concept won't be ready for a few months, the city's Health Department made the announcement Monday, in time for Valentine's Day, the New York Daily News said.
Department spokeswoman Sandra Mullin told reporters the effort was more about packaging than branding.
"We wanted to develop condom packaging that was noticeable and memorable so that we can later track the effectiveness of our distribution," she said.
The city has handed out about 9 million free condoms at Health Department clinics since June.
City officials told The New York Times said that a "New York condom" was not a part of the branding campaign pushed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg since he was elected. Under his guidance, the city receives a royalty from the sale of products that legally use the Police and Fire Department logos
Pizza toppings predict romance's chances
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Feb. 14 (UPI) -- A new romance's chances of success can be forecast by the compatibility in a couple's choices of pizza toppings, a survey released Tuesday shows.
A study commissioned by Domino's Pizza conducted by Dr. Alan Hirsch of the Chicago-based Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation found personality traits are given away by the preference of pizza toppings.
Among the findings of more than 1,000 people surveyed, pizza eaters who prefer more non-traditional topping combinations, such as pineapple and onion, are most attracted to people who prefer similar non-traditional toppings.
But those who prefer traditional single-meat toppings like pepperoni, attraction is most likely for a person who likes a pizza loaded with meat toppings.
However, Hirsch found those who prefer single vegetables are attracted to just about everyone.
The survey was conducted in December among people who had previously participated in foundation studies.
The full study is available online at pizzaofyourdreams.com.
Romantic love seen as basic drive
NEW YORK, Feb. 14 (UPI) -- Romantic love is a drive as strong as thirst and hunger and a pleasure inducer as strong as drugs, money or chocolate, researchers say.
"Emotions come and go. We feel euphoria, but we feel anxiety, too," said Lucy Brown of New York's Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
"This core system that is driving the person who is in love toward their sweetheart, that is much more important in a sense than an emotion," Brown told CNN.
"Romantic love is not only an emotion, it's a basic mating drive, and it's stronger than the sex drive," said anthropologist Helen Fisher, author of "Why We Love."
"It became apparent to me that romantic love was a drive -- a drive as strong as thirst, as hunger," the researcher said.
Intense passion can strike at any age, Fisher said, noting she has seen 8-year-olds and 70-year-olds who are madly in love.
Man proposes in book form
HILLSBOROUGH, N.C., Feb. 14 (UPI) -- A North Carolina man's proposal took the form of a Valentine's Day breakfast in bed with a 113-page book listing reasons why for the marriage.
Cameron Kelly wrote "50 Reasons Why You Should Marry Me ... And 51 Reasons Why I Should Marry You" for Angie Kreimer. But he is also making the work available to the general public through the self-publishing Web site, Lulu.com, either as a printed book for $21.95 or as an e-book for free.
Kelly's reasons for Angie to marry him include his weekly bathroom cleaning and his promise that he will look like Sean Connery when he is 65. He also reminds her that she will not have to change her initials.
He tells Angie he wants to marry her because he is more in love with her than ever and he loves the way she says "crayons."
The couple are not hurrying into marriage. They already have a 2-year-old daughter and share a home.
Now, they plan to tie the knot officially in the fall since Angie said yes.

Jakarta, Sep 15 (IANS) The Indonesian government has initiated legal action against companies allegedly involved in causing forest fires in the country that have resulted in a haze enveloping Singapore and Malaysia, police said on Tuesday.
The action comes as Indonesia scrambles to fight the forest fires which often occur during the land clearing process for the opening of new plantations on the islands of Sumatra and Borneo, Xinhua news agency reported.
Indonesian police has declared three big companies suspect in forest fire cases in South Sumatra province, said Yazid Fanani, director at the criminal investigation department of the national police.
The firms were accused of burning forests, but the police would further their investigations "based on the finding at the field and other analysis", said Fanani at the police headquarters.
In an effort to stop the repeat of fires in the future, the police would deploy more investigators to the scene to boost law enforcement.
The Indonesian government has sought to punish perpetrators of forest fires, particularly companies which have caused choking haze in the region, disturbed flights and led to severe economic losses.
On Monday, 107 people were declared suspects in cases of land clearing and forest fires.
Indonesia has been battered by such forest fires since the 1990s, as the ensuing haze shrouded neighbouring ASEAN countries and caused huge economic losses.

Viewer Question
My wife has Ovarian Remnant Syndrome and has been
looking everywhere but can find no information on this matter.
Signed, DW
Doctor's Answer
Ovarian remnant syndrome is pelvic pain due to leftover ovarian tissue after removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes. It can cause cyclic pain and pressure on the vagina, rectum, bladder, and ureter. The ovarian remnants may be removable with laparoscopy. A qualified gynecologist familiar with the condition should be consulted.
Thank you for your question.Carolyn Janet Crandall, M.D.

Just In Time For V-Day: Death By Heartbreak • "Womb Boxes" Mess With Sleep Cycles
• The WSJ story about a woman who suffers "broken-heart syndrome" following her husband's death is both sweet and incredibly sad. But apparently not unheard of: severe emotional trauma can cause a surge in adrenaline, stopping the heart. •

After working 34 years in the legal arena with highly skilled, highly skeptical attorneys, I have learned that keeping ourselves in a positive "can do" frame of mind helps keep your sanity. Executing the feeling is another story. Each day is brand new even though it might bring challenges or "change." Change is inevitable; however, attorneys will try to avoid change at all costs. How do you stay positive? How do you focus on the positive outcome when you are working in an urgent environment like a law firm?
Smile! This may sound simplistic. A smile is very powerful. It sets a tone that you are in control; it says "I am confident" and your confidence will inspire those around you. Wellness comes from smiling. Your day will run smoother and, even in adverse situations, a smile will allow you to respond differently and with a positive attitude throughout the day. Best of all, a smile makes you approachable, allowing those around you to feel comfortable and want to perform at their very best in order to please you and get the job done. After all, "you get more flies with honey than you do with vinegar."
Buddha said "All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become." Positive energy arises from what you project outwardly to others. If your thoughts are clear and concise, you will stimulate this energy. As Buddha said in this quote, the mind is everything. Attorneys are very intelligent people. Controlling your mind to find only the positive in each person, each task, and each day will allow you to achieve much more. Positive thinking and positive energy are like a magnet attracting all those who cross your path. All people—even introverts—want to be around positive people because positive energy has a way of breathing life into the lifeless. Your positive energy will change lives. Most of all, it will change your life.
Some say you are born positive. Not true. Being positive is a choice. I believe it is the only choice. There is no alternative, especially if you want to be happy and succeed in life.
It is easy to keep your positive energy level if you set goals. Goal setting is a very old theory. Dr. Edwin Locke is a pioneer in research in the area of goal setting. In his 1968 article "Toward a Theory of Task Motivation and Incentives," he stated that employees were motivated by clear goals and appropriate feedback. Locke said that working toward a goal provided a major source of motivation to actually reach the goal—which, in turn, improved performance.
When it comes to setting and reaching your goals, today's technology is superb. Outlook task, Outlook calendar, or a good management/timeline legal software program such as TimeMatters™ or PracticeManager™ will keep you and your staff on task. The most important element is recording the goal, making it realistic, reflecting the time needed to accomplish it, and checking the goal off when completed. Once that goal is achieved, and before moving on to the next goal, recognize with positive reinforcement and praise yourself and those who helped you reach your goal. By doing this, everyone will celebrate the achievement and move on to the next goal with great energy and a sense of ownership.
Another aspect that will set the tone for positive energy and goal setting is being organized. Organizational skills can be learned despite what you are feeling as you read this article. Let's go back to your mind. When working on a case or a transaction, how do you organize your mind? How do you motivate yourself to get organized and get started (set your goal)? And how do you achieve the highest level of success for your client and, ultimately, the firm?
When I have the opportunity to work with an attorney—whether they have just graduated, passed the bar, or are a seasoned lawyer—I try to lead by example with regard to positive energy, goal setting, and organizational skills. Understanding how to evaluate the task you are undertaking, (new matter, client resolution, an appeal, even turning in or entering daily time sheets, etc.) is essential to successfully accomplishing your goals. You should ask yourself these questions:
Do you have clarity as to the assignment, case, or transaction? If not, ask questions and review whatever is necessary to get you to a point of clarity before you get started or decide to undertake this client's case, etc. This will save time, money, and energy which might otherwise be spent to no avail.
How complex is the assignment, case, or transaction? What resources, tools, and manpower will be needed in order to achieve the best results for your client, corporation, and the firm?
What challenges need to be met? In the case of time sheets, if the time entries are not turned in daily, time, money, and efficiencies are immediately affected. Firm income and revenue are based on this one factor and if you cannot meet the challenge, stay organized, and set your goal to accomplish this task daily, it will escalate into a multitude of days or even weeks missed and there is no true way to replicate this task. The results will be costly.
What kind of commitment will this client, matter, or task require? You need to understand from the start what the commitment will be to the firm and to you. What are the required resources (upfront outlay of cost(s), time to achieve result, etc.)? What are the client's expectations? What will it take to achieve a successful result within the required time frame? When answering these questions, you must also consider the other matters the firm is currently handling and if this matter will get the attention it needs.
Who will be responsible for gathering and reporting feedback? It is necessary to have feedback as each goal is attained. This will allow the attorney and the team working on the matter, transaction, etc., to remain positive and create energy moving forward to completion. Feedback will help decide if adjustments need to be made to the matter/project and allows the attorney to reevaluate, regroup, and reorganize the game plan in order to achieve the most positive outcome for the client and the most profitable outcome for the firm.
If you want to change the energy level of your practice, following the few ideas and directions I have laid out for you in this article will make a positive change in your practice and in your life. What do you have to lose?

On our last episode of Against the Clock Glee star Darren Criss revealed that he binge-watched Downton Abbey and loves himself some Same Cooke — and that too in less than 30 seconds. Will our latest guest, singer-songwriter Ciara, be able to beat our ever ticking clock with the same finesse?
Next: Watch the video!
We'll find out as Ciara divulges her one "Bridezilla" demand, biggest red carpet fashion regret (sorry C, we totally pulled a picture!) and the identity of the artist she'd do anything to collaborate with (hint: the answer is sadly not '90s sensation Natalie Imbruglia). She also calmly answers the most difficult Against the Clock question to date: If you had to eat one food for the rest of your life what would it be?

Phenylketonuria test
Phenylketonuria test
Blood is routinely drawn from newborn infants for testing. Blood is obtained by a heel stick and collected on a special blotter paper. Routine testing usually includes phenylketonuria, thyroid function, hemoglobin S (sickle cell disease), and may test for other disorders. Newborn screening programs vary from state to state. Testing can be tailored to the local population, determining what routine testing should be done.

The Clinton County Board reduced the recommended pay raises for elected officials-but the positions will get a pay raise. The County Compensation Board recommends pay raises for elected officials and the Supervisors can approve the proposals or lower them all by the same percentage but can not increase them.
That recommendation was a $6,500 dollar pay raise for the County Attorney, $5,500 for the sheriff, and $3,000 for the Auditor, Record and Treasurer plus one-thousand dollars for the Supervisors.
At their meeting this morning (Monday) the board approved reducing the increase by 40 percent with a one percent increase for the Supervisors. That meant raises ranging from 2.8% and 3.8% for the other elected officials.
Supervisors Brian Schmidt said the compensation board did their job in making the recommendations without looking at the budget, but it's the job of the Supervisors to factor the budget into the recommendation. He said the reduction in the proposal stills show respect for the officer holders but also acknowledges the tax payers.
Supervisors Jill Davisson and John Staszewski added their thanks the Compensation Board for their work echoed the comment about their job is to consider the budget in the recommendations.
The raises approved would be $3,9000 for the County Attorney which is a 3.8% raise to $105,338
The Sheriff would receive a 3.8% raise or $3,3000 to $87, 175
The Auditor, Treasurer and Record receive 2.8% raises or $1,800 raises.
The Auditor's salary would be $65,128, the Recorder's salary would be $63,393 and the Treasurer's pay would be $64,092.
Under the plan approved today the Supervisors would have an increase of 385 dollars to $38,889 and the Board Chair receives a slightly higher pay with a $1,2000 raise to $40,089.

I hurt three people today. First I hurt a client. He needed work. I didn't want to work for him. I bluntly refused. :( Second I hurt my landlord. He wanted to find a name for his son and I said I was busy. He came again. I offered him a dongle and said I was busy. :( Third I didn't rephrase an essay for my younger sister. She has an exam tomorrow. :( I can find excuses. The client was exploiting so I did the right thing. I merely asked for market rates. The landlord is very proud of his property (which belongs to his father) and thinks of me as lesser-human because I am poor. I took revenge. The sister didn't study when there was time. It is her fault. Ho. This is how I can free myself of all the guilt I am feeling. But these arguments are not working. And an incident is making me feel worse.
For no particular reason I started looking for her on Facebook. As I don't have an account there I used my cousin's ID. I know the password. She has updated. After a few months. The 6!+Ch is posing with her phone and pretending to wear a diamond ring. Stupid. This is making me sadder. I thought she was out. But she isn't. It may be because I haven't found another girl since she dumped me. Or that I really love her. I don't love anyone. So the second hypothesis is baseless. Another girl and I am damn sure I won't even think about her.
Ha ha ha! I have downloaded her latest photo from Facebook. Bitchu! Ha. Now I am feeling better. Two paragraphs. Writing is doing its job. Ha ! Cry. No I don't want to. a;sdjjjjjjjjj

text: New Presidents, especially untested ones, often see their first years in office defined and sometimes hampered by national-security crises. Think Kennedy and the Bay of Pigs, Clinton and Somalia, or most acutely, George W. Bush and 9/11. Obama has faced challenges around the globe, and while some analysts have focused on a relative lack of tangible achievements overseas, the President's efforts to defuse potential crises with sensible rhetoric, serious focus and disarming tact give a signal of early success.

Fox Racing Diva Short
Charcoal color looks black online, but is really medium to dark gray. I ordered the large and they were really snug, but I based on the size chart an XL would've been better (for me) if they offered that size. =o) I loved the look, detailing and fit (higher waist in back, length and fabric). Some of nicest shorts I have seen in my extensive search for decent mtb shorts.

First Look: Beowulf
Speaking of Comic-Con, apparently there was a screening of 20-minutes from Robert Zemeckis' computer-generated version of the epic tale Beowulf, starring Angelina Jolie and Anthony Hopkins, among others. MTV's movie blogger was there, and reported this:
"This is the oldest story in the English language," [Neil] Gaiman told the crowd of press and VIPs. "And it's told with the most modern technology available," [Roger] Avary finished.
After a few hundred people strapped on their 3-D glasses, the verdict was in. While scenes featuring Anthony Hopkins and a near-nude Angelina Jolie are astonishingly photo real, the fantasy epic still occasionally suffers the "Dead Eyes" look of Robert Zemeckis' Polar Express.
The flick, which costs $1 million per minute, is aiming for a PG-13 take on the tale we were all forced to read in high school. "That was my reason for doing this," grinned Avary. "I wanted to make it easier or future generations."
Well, for us poor hacks slaving away at work instead of chatting up Neil Gaiman at Comic-Con, at least we can check out the trailer for Beowulf, which hits theaters November 16. As was sometimes the case with Zemeckis' Polar Express, I find it eerie to see well-known actors portrayed in not-quite-reality, but I'm still supremely excited to see this movie in 3-D. To see the CG-tastic trailer,

Poll: Short list of baby boy names
Please check on the name that you like most. This is a short list of the names that we received when we put out the following post last week:
My baby is due in a week and we are having an awful time coming up with a name. We are looking for something that isn't overly plain (no Thomas, Daniel, James, Jon, etc), but that is still familiar (i.e. no strange spelling, strange sounding names). Also, we are looking for a strong name that would look good on a business card. Our last name is Harris and we like the middle name Bennett, which is also a family name. We are Irish, so it would be great to have a name with an Irish origin. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks so much!

Custom database design & data management solutions
Can't find a database solution that does exactly what you need it to do or need help centralising your data or spreadsheets? We are highly experienced in the design and development of web based database systems and have over 22 years of combined expertise in the delivery of business critical solutions for small and medium businesses and large corporate companies.
Over the years we have invested a lot of our time to understand what our customers want and work with them closely to build systems exactly for them. There are many off the shelf database packages to choose from but our strength lies in building tailor made applications based on a precise set of customer requirements that can be expanded with new features and functionality far more easily. Why pay for software that does not do exactly what you need it to? We can design and build a database based on your precise business requirements.
The process and how we work with you
Identifying "the blockage"; albeit spreadsheets and databases shared across too many people, highly manual paper/email based processes, repeated human data capture errors, missing/forgetting deadlines, process repetition, duplication of data capture and reporting and no ability for disaster recovery and management.
Identifying requirements through discussions, business process analysis and workshops.
The final database system will generally be cloud based enabling flexible working, maximum uptime, minimum risk.
Build of final requirements and technical specification.
Development of database system in liaison with internal project team.
First phase release of database system to project team for testing and final sign off.
Launch, on-going support and feature upgrades.
Delivered database systems
NGD, next generation database
Nature of project: Custom database development for Secure By Design (SBD)
SBD (Secure By Design) is a world-leading knowledge partner to the global automotive industry, providing actionable insight and strategic support in the development of more connected, safe and secure vehicles. From tracking industry trends through to strategic support for product development, SBD has nearly 20 years of experience working with world-class companies in the automotive and associated industries.
The NGD system was developed as a custom built system to store, manage and allow re-use of all of Secure By Design's research data. Built on the IceStar Media's cutom platform it provides the ability for SBD to create, generate and update the reports that get provided to their customers, utilising the research data stored within.
vSteam data reporting system & web app
Nature of project: Data reporting system & web app
Our internally developed core application has been customised to launch the vSteam web-based data reporting system for Deep Water Blue who are water treatment specialists. For steam generation and water treatment, the HSE requires operators to document all measures which are put in place to control risk. As specialist steam consultants, Deep Water Blue commissioned us to develop a unique management and maintenance programme built upon our core development system that is developed in-house which allows its engineers to record how and when actions have been taken to improve system performance and to control risk. This is a unique, easy-to-use and interactive control panel and log-book which:
Saves time
Clearly identifies actions
Allows shared access for comments and technical support
With vSteam® you simply enter data into pre-designed forms, ensuring your records remain up-to-date. You can download reports and graphs to show trends in performance. Issues are highlighted automatically in red or amber, with recommendations for remedial action. Once the action has taken place, this is also recorded in the log. This is an on-going and long term project between IceStar Media and Deep Water Blue. For more information click here >
Prospects inspection management system
Nature of project: Bespoke database/software development
We were invited to work with one of the UK's leading School Inspection providers to discuss the development of a customised on-line school inspection and data management system. The project brief centered around the capture, tracking and reporting of data collected during the various stages of the school inspection cycle. During the initial fact finding and planning phases of the project we worked closely with the senior management team in order to understand their business, document all of their requirements and understand their internal processes. We then prepared a detailed project plan outlining all expected outcomes, costs, deliverables, user training and system support. Built on our core Osiris platform, the information management system was developed and built over a 12 month period with regular meetings and remote discussions taking place to ensure the project was on schedule, to specification and to budget.
The inspection management system increased the efficiency of the entire inspection management process and reduced the massive amounts of manual administration required to manage the previous paper based legacy system. On-going process improvements included access to remote users throughout the United Kingdom, disaster recovery processes, system back-up procedures, security protocols, user authentication for remote access and time saving solutions and functionality to further improve the efficiency of other business critical areas of the organisation.
