Hi Trevor,
This won't be official, just straight out of my mind which is a bit slow
this morning, but it goes something like this. Churchwarden's accounts are
documents about the financial running of the parish, others are vestry
minutes which contain information relating to goings on. Chastising folk
for misbehaving in church, doing naughty things in the church grounds, etc.
Such and such a person whipped and sent away to another parish. Usually you
will find that much of these are filmed together on the same microfilm by
the Mormon folk, but not always. Of particular note are the Easter Tithes,
wherein a record is given of the tithes paid by the parishioners to the
church for the upkeep of the church, village, even roads, etc. There are
other tithes/taxes levied also for the poor. i.e. something like this "paid
to John Thomas of Little Green sixpence for poor relief." or "paid to Widow
Jones of Low Mere, five shillings." I even found this one, which went
something like: "paid to a stranger who fell dead in the street, sixpence,
for poor relief." So, there's the proof, you can take it with you!
My g.g.g.grandparents, Thomas & Elizabeth Peate had some of their children
baptized at Alberbury in Shropshire, close to the border of
Montgomeryshire, in the late 1700s. If it had not been for the
churchwardens' accounts, I would have never known where they lived. The
accounts showed that they lived in the town of Criggion, a little to the
west of Alberbury and had a farm. viz: 1789 taxes for relief to the poor
for his land, which was eight acres, eight pence. By 1793 it had risen to
one shilling, then in 1810 things were a little more complicated. Trade
sixpence, 3 cows threepence, 3 calves one penny half penny, one colt
twopence, two halls of bees, two pence, hemp (ahah!) sixpence, 4 corn
[fields] eightpence, house & garden twopence. By 1822 Thomas was paying an
extra tax of fourpence for one dairy-maid, and twopence for one pig. In
1823 Thomas had increased his holding to 15 acres, and the last entry shown
in the churchwardens' accounts is for 1827, which indicates that they had
died. They certainly did.
Sometimes you will find marriages in the vestry minutes. I had a lovely
time on the microfilm of Ellesmere, St. Mary, stumbling across a marriage
that belonged. Before the churchwardens 18 Aug 1654 had appeared Richard
Warburton and Katherine Higginson wishing to be married, the document
giving name and signature of Richard's father, and that of the grand-father
of Katherine on her mother's side, suggesting that her father was dead.
Nice jump back in time, that one. You will often find apprenticeship
details in these papers, some parishes publishing them each year, some
every month or so. In Yarmouth on the Isle-of-Wight this was found some
thirteen years after the child's baptism, so you can keep tabs on folk
afterwards, and before they marry. Also some parishes had pew rentals,
where names and the rent appear. Someone disappears from the rental list
after being there for 20 years or so, either died, moved out of the parish,
or if a widow, re-married. Very useful information.
Well, I mustn't ramble on. But these documents are sometimes a gold mine
for researchers.

THE GRAVE of a Confederate soldier is memorialized at San Lorenzo Catholic Cemetery off of Old Moultrie Road and U.S. 1 South. The graveyard is included in a survey determining national landmark status of St. Johns County's 46 cemeteries.
By MADELYN TROYANEK, Staff A just-completed, $50,000 survey of St. Johns County's 46 cemeteries found at least a dozen with enough historical significance to qualify for national landmark status.
Nancy Sikes-Kline, chairwoman of the county's Historic Resource Review Board, which commissioned the study, said it was built on an earlier list compiled by the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office.
"A number of these cemeteries are difficult to locate," she said. "They need to be documented before they are lost."
Others are well known, but need to be recognized for the historical resource they are, she said.
For example, Catholic-only Tolomato Cemetery on Cordova Street dates back to at least 1777, if not earlier. And Huguenot Cemetery on San Marco Avenue was established in 1821 for the city's Protestants.
Marsha Chance, senior archeologist for Environmental Sciences Inc., will present the survey results to the County Commission on Wednesday morning.
Former Historic Board chairman Tom Graham said cemeteries have an intrinsic value as historic artifacts and genealogical resources.
"They also generate a sense of reverence. These are our ancestors. We want to make sure they are not forgotten," Graham said.
Listed are various types of burial grounds, such as family cemeteries. Some of those in the survey include the Barnes, DeGrove, Ferris, Hewson, Hughes and Ringhaver families.
Community cemeteries include the Old Hastings, Huguenot, Julington Creek, Orangedale, Pellicer Creek, Sampson, Sanksville and Switzerland cemeteries.
There are many religious cemeteries, such as San Lorenzo Catholic Cemetery and the nearly forgotten Moultrie African Methodist Episcopal cemetery on private property, both on U.S. 1 South.
There is only one military cemetery in St. Johns County -- St. Augustine National Cemetery on Marine Street.
Included in the survey were two American Indian burial grounds, at Guana River State Park and the Fountain of Youth, as well as the graves of historically important people such as Otto C. Lightner, buried in the Alcazar Hotel courtyard, the Flagler family tomb at Memorial Presbyterian Church, and a monument to Gen. William C. Loring on the Plaza de la Constitucion.
Sikes-Kline said the study was important.
"This will help us preserve them because now we know where they are," she said. "Someone may want to look up their ancestors. I had a great deal of pleasure visiting my own family's cemetery out at Federal Point. I hope other people can make that connection too."
The $50,000 survey was paid for by a $25,000 grant from the state Bureau of Historic Preservation, which is part of the Department of State, and $25,000 budgeted for this purpose last year by the County Commission.

Winter storm: Sleet, snow, crashes and spinouts
The icy, snowy mess that hit south Washington County late Tuesday and into Wednesday wreaked havoc for drivers on local highways and on side streets in and around Cottage Grove.
Cottage Grove police and emergency workers responded to nearly 30 reports of minor-damage crashes, vehicle spinouts and stuck vehicles between 9 p.m. Tuesday and early Wednesday afternoon.
Slick roadways, accumulating snow and strong wind gusts made driving a challenge for more of Wednesday morning. The snow tapered off in the afternoon. The National Weather Service predicted 2 to 4 inches of snow during the day, with another one-half inch predicted Wednesday night.
The police calls included nine accidents involving one or more vehicles, three spinouts, nine reports of vehicles off the roadway or in the ditch and a handful of vehicles stuck on side streets.
Washington County authorities responded to a crash with injuries at about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday at Manning Avenue and 100th Street, where one person was transported by ambulance. A few minutes later authorities were called to Highway 61 and Glen Road in Newport for a three-car pile-up. Further information about those incidents was not immediately known.
Around 9:40 a.m. Wednesday a District 833 school bus struck a sign in the roundabout at West Point Douglas Road and Jamaica Avenue. There were no injuries reported and no damage to the bus.
Earlier Wednesday morning another District 833 school bus was stalled at 65th Street and Hinton Avenue because of ice on the road.

The following commentary does not necessarily reflect the views of AgWeb or Farm Journal Media. The opinions expressed below are the author's own.
Paul is now part of the fourth generation in America that is involved in farming and hopes the next generation will be involved also. Through his blog he provides analysis and insight to farmer tax questions.
Today, we have a very long drive ahead of us as we traveled from Spenser, Iowa, headed north into Minnesota. We then headed west almost to the South Dakota border. We then turned north and started to do our counts in those four counties along the border. At Canby, we then turned south and east and worked our way back to Interstate 90. All in all, we put on about 350 miles today.
Corn yields were all over the map and we saw a lot of lodging that will show up at harvest. That will not be fun to combine this year.
We got into Austin, Minnesota tonight and had our final meeting with the local farmers and met up with the eastern crop tour participants. The estimated yields were given at the meeting and the early call on Minnesota was a .08% increase in yield. The big surprise was an estimated 6% plus drop in Iowa corn yields. There are a lot of soybeans out there, however, the crop is much further along this year than last and so many of the pods last year were still blooming and not counted.
This was my first crop tour and I really enjoyed it. It is hard work driving that much and making that many stops, but very rewarding. I would higher encourage any of my readers to do it at least once. You meet a lot of interesting people, not just farmers, but traders, USDA personnel and many others involved in ag.
I look forward to doing it again and we will see what the final numbers look like tomorrow.

Call it hate, call it dislike, if used properly it can become a powerful motivating tool when two teams line up against each other.
With nothing on the line as far as a playoff possibility for the Miami Dolphins this Sunday, the Fish will still be sky high for their home game against the New York Jets.
Nothing would please the Dolphins more than to send the Jets and their loudmouth coach Rex Ryan crashing to the sidelines on the final day of the regular season.
The 8-7 Jets, losers of their past two games, are fighting for their playoff lives and need a victory over Miami and a lot of help in other games to advance as the sixth and final seed in the AFC playoffs.
The Dolphins would like nothing better than to deny them that opportunity.
"As a Dolphin, that's all you want to do is shatter their dreams," Miami defensive lineman Kendall Langford said recently. "I'm sure the fans would love it, too. I'm sure the New York fans would hate it."
He's right on both counts.
Although the Dolphins are just 5-10 they have played tough and hard throughout the season and are 5-3 in their past eight games. The Jets pounded them 24-6 in Week 6 but Miami has improved a lot since then.
"To be in a position, No. 1, where you can play in a football game and No. 2, win a football game and affect the outcome of a season of a rival, obviously, yeah, that's motivation," said Dolphins defensive end Jared Odrick. "But we're playing for us. We're going out to accomplish what we want to do."
On Friday, the Dolphins' goal of downing the Jets got a little tougher when running back Reggie Bush was scratched with a right knee injury.
The loss of Bush can only lift the Jets' spirits.
Bush has put together a terrific season for Miami after coming over from New Orleans following a number of disappointing seasons.
Bush is the Dolphins' leading rusher, with 216 carries for 1,086 yards, and their third-leading receiver, with 43 catches. He has gained steam as the season has marched on and had put together a streak of four consecutive 100-yard rushing games.
It's something for the Jets to hang their hat on as they look for a miracle finish to a sub-par season.
With an 8-7 record, the Tennessee Titans are one of several AFC teams that still have a shot at making the playoffs as a wild-card entry.
It all begins with a victory, of course, and on Sunday the Titans will have to beat the Houston Texans on the road.
Despite the fact the Texans have won the AFC South, they are vulnerable as they have lost two in a row — to Carolina and Indianapolis no less — with quarterback T.J. Yates and the offence appearing to regress with each game.
As it now stands, the Cincinnati Bengals hold the sixth and final playoff spot with a 9-6 record. Unfortunately for the Bengals, they are playing the Baltimore Ravens, who need a victory to secure the AFC North title.
If the Bengals lose and Titans win, both teams would be 9-7 with the Bengals holding the tiebreaker due to their 24-17 victory in head-to-head competition.
The Titans, though, can still manage to advance.
For that to happen the Titans would need a Bengals loss and either the New York Jets or Oakland Raiders to also win and also finish at 9-7.
Under that scenario, the Bengals would lose out as they trail in the conference record tiebreaker. The Titans, Raiders and Jets if they win, would all be 7-5 in conference play so you would have to go to the next tiebreaker which is the record vs. common opponents and in that tiebreaker the Titans come out on top.
It's a longshot but better than no shot at all.
The Cleveland Browns officially ruled quarterback Colt McCoy out for Sunday's rematch against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Seneca Wallace will instead make the start. The 4-11 Browns have been a disappointment and that includes the play of McCoy. On the season, McCoy completed 57.2% of his passes for 2,733 yards. He tossed 14 touchdown passes but also threw 11 interceptions. The feeling in Cleveland is that the Browns will once again be on the lookout for a franchise quarterback in the draft ... Running back LeSean McCoy of the Philadelphia Eagles has been limited in practice this week due to an ankle injury but will definitely start in Sunday's final game against Washington. With 1,309 rushing yards, McCoy and the Eagles will be gunning for him to catch and pass Jacksonville's Maurice Jones-Drew for the overall rushing title. Jones-Drew holds a 128-yard lead, which may prove to be too formidable. A more realistic goal for McCoy is the Eagles' rushing record. He needs 124 yards to surpass the franchise record held by Wilbert Montgomery — 1,512 yards set in 1979.
Jerry Jones isn't God even though he may think he is.
Still, the flamboyant owner of the Dallas Cowboys on Friday said emphatically that quarterback Tony Romo will be ready to rumble in Sunday night's showdown against the New York Giants.
If Jones said it, then it has to be true.
"Romo is where we had dreamed that he would be and hoped he would be relative to after his injury last week," Jones said on his radio show Friday.
"He's going to be playing at full strength," Jones added. "He has a very good team around him, so the stage is set to play well in a big game."
The latter statements by Jones could be just so much wishful thinking.
Jones' proclamations didn't stop there as he went on to state that win or lose, Jason Garrett will return as the Cowboys' coach in 2012.
"That's just ridiculous. We're just getting started with Jason," Jones said. "It's just not the case at all. Nobody is worried about the coach's job here. We'll answer this thing as many ways as you want to answer it with as many circumstances, his job has no bearing and is not a part of this ball game. Yes, he's going to be our coach next year period no matter what the score is."
Straight from the horse's mouth.

State, Cumberland County and local enforcement agencies will use houses of worship in Bridgeton, Millville and Vineland next month to help get "deadly firearms out of circulation" in the county.
The effort involves the seventh cash-for-guns program sponsored by the state Attorney General's Office since December, authorities said during a press conference at the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office in Bridgeton on Wednesday.
County residents can, with no questions asked, sell their firearms to authorities stationed at the Word of Life Christian Worship Center in Vineland, the Cornerstone Community Church in Millville and St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Bridgeton on June 7 and 8. Authorities will pay as much as $250 for a firearm, depending on the type. There is a limit of three firearms per person.
New Jersey Attorney General Jeffrey S. Chiesa said the gun buy is being held in Cumberland County because law enforcement agencies there need help in getting firearms off the street and battling gun-related violence and crimes. Part of that involves gang-related activities, he said.
Cumberland County Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae said that while much of the county is rural, "we still have big-city problems."
There have been numerous incidents of gun violence in the county during the past several years, but especially in Bridgeton and Millville. Some of those incidents have resulted in fatalities.
The 2011 Uniform Crime Report compiled by the State Police shows that Bridgeton had a crime rate of 54.1 incidents per 1,000 residents. Millville's crime rate for that year was at 68 incidents per 1,000 residents. Both of those figures are among the highest rates in South Jersey for nonresort municipalities. The 2011 report is the latest available.
Officials with the Attorney General's Office said authorities spent about $1 million to buy more than 10,000 firearms during the past six cash-for-guns events. Those weapons included handguns, shotguns, automatic weapons, one rocket launcher and an elephant gun valued at about $20,000.
A two-day cash-for-guns program held in churches in Pleasantville and Atlantic City in Atlantic County in March resulted in the purchase of 2,061 weapons. More than 1,800 guns came through the Faith Baptist Church in Pleasantville.
The last gun buy in Cumberland County was held by the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office in 2010. That effort netted 128 weapons at locations in Bridgeton, Millville and Vineland.
Authorities said they make every effort to return stolen guns to their lawful owners. All the other weapons are destroyed.
The money used to buy the weapons comes from funds seized by the state Division of Criminal Justice as a result of investigations into crimes such as narcotics dealing. The Prosecutor's Office will supply some of its own forfeiture money toward next month's gun buys.
Chiesa said the program uses churches because its make people more at ease than showing up a police station or other government office.
"If I put a sign outside the Attorney General's Office that said 'cash for guns,' I'm sure nobody would show up," he said.
The Rev. Ellen Rutherford, pastor at St. Andrew's, said she is not worried about holding the event at her church.
"I'm honored," Rutherford said. "It's a great opportunity to be doing something good for the city and the neighborhood."
Priscilla McCoy said her husband, Baron, is pastor of the Word of Life Christian Worship Center and a member of the Vineland Police Department. She said that provides them with a unique perspective on the gun-purchase program.
"We know the importance these events have in getting guns off the streets," she said.
Chiesa said he knows the gun-purchase programs are not the "single, standalone answer to society's complex gun violence program."
"But this much is irrefutable - a gun that no longer exists can't ever be used to kill or maim someone," he said. "It's that simple."
Authorities said they will announce the results of their gun buy June 11.
Contact Thomas Barlas:
Cumberland County cash-for-guns program
WHEN: 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. June 7-8.
WHERE: St. Andrews's Episcopal Church, 186 E. Commerce St., Bridgeton; Cornerstone Community Church, 1200 N. High St., Millville; Word of Life Christian Worship Center, 425 N. Sixth St., Vineland.
WHAT TO EXPECT: Law enforcement officers will be at each location to buy and secure firearms from Cumberland County residents. Authorities will pay as much as $250 for a firearm, depending on the type of firearm. There is a three-weapon-per-person limit. County residents can sell the weapons with no questions asked.
INFORMATION: Contact the state Attorney General's Office Citizen Services Unit at 609-984-5828 or www.nj.gov/guns. Cumberland County Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae is available to speak with organizations about the program. She can be reached at 856-453-0486, ext. 3106.

Snowy, Winter Wonderland Comes To Canarsie Library
Last Thursday morning may have been a bit warmer than usual with winter's arrival only a week away, but it was 'snowing' inside the Canarsie Library at 1580 Rockaway Parkway.
Dozens of children gathered at the local branch to watch two talented performers from the organization Urban Stages tell tales of snowfilled days.
The performers Liz Parker and Rachel Sullivan, pretended to build snowmen, told tales of preparing for winter and made "snow" out of various materials. One of the most interesting segments included the recital of a Japanese tale called "Statues," in which the duo donned masks and costumes.
To find out more about the Canarsie Library's menu of events, call 718-257-6547.

It wasn't quite as impressive as North Carolina's scoreless-inning streak that began the college season, but Double-A Carolina's pitching staff has been nearly as hot to begin 2005.
In Chapel Hill, the Tar Heels rolled off 32 consecutive innings without allowing an earned run to start the season in February. Some 40 miles away in Zebulon in April, the Mudcats' staff is having similar results.
Carolina posted back-to-back shutouts over Huntsville, before Stars' outfielder Nelson Cruz took righthander Nic Ungs deep in the fourth inning of a game Saturday, snapping the scoreless streak at 21.
Still, the opening series against Huntsville has been remarkable for the Mudcats. After Saturday's lone run, righthander Logan Kensing came out Sunday, and with the help of a bullpen that still hasn't been scored upon, shut out the Stars again, 3-0.
As a staff, the Mudcats carry a 0.38 ERA, with one earned run in 36 innings. The rest of the numbers are just as impressive: 14 hits, nine walks and 34 strikeouts. Stars hitters batted just .132.
In addition to Ungs and Kensing, Carolina's rotation features lefthander Scott Olsen and righthanders Yorman Bazardo and Josh Johnson.
Johnson was hitting 92-94 mph consistently and topping out at 95 in the opener last Thursday. Olsen, the highest-profile prospect of the bunch, also topped out at 95 in his Double-A debut.
The Mudcats will be challenged by better bats tonight when they open a three-game set against Birmingham. White Sox first-round pick Josh Fields, first baseman Casey Rogowski and right fielder Ryan Sweeney highlight the Barons' lineup.
"Now that is some tough pitching," Barons manager Razor Shines said. "And we're a little younger than Huntsville. I'm going to have to throw BP at 100 miles an hour for our guys to get used to that."
International League (AAA)
� It doesn't get much hotter than Indianapolis catcher Ryan Doumit. The 24-year-old has a history of injuries, was limited to DH last season with a sore elbow and didn't play at all after July 24. But the added rest seems to have done wonders. After gaining national attention for homering off Curt Schilling on Opening Day, Doumit has hit three more bombs, and is batting .583. "He looks like a different player," a National League scout said. "Like the kind of player the Pirates thought he could be before all the medical. Everyone knew this kid could hit; he's got excellent bat control. As a switch-hitter, he reminds me a little bit of a Victor Martinez-type catcher. But until he can prove he can get through an entire season healthy, there's always going to be that question about him."
� Toledo first baseman Chris Shelton is also off to a fast start. Shelton, who took MVP honors in the Arizona Fall League last November, is hitting .571/.632/1.000 with two homers in his first 14 at-bats. A former teammate of Doumit--the two were with Class A Lynchburg in the Pirates system in 2003--Shelton appears to have found a permanent position after spending time behind the plate and at first in his four-year career. A 33rd-round pick out of Utah in 2001, Shelton's bat is what will carry him back to the big leagues after he got 46 at-bats with the Tigers last season.
� The hottest team in the IL to open the season would be the Indianapolis Indians, who are undefeated at 4-0. Indy doesn't have much in terms of position prospects--Doumit and outfielder Nate McLouth being the only exceptions--but the pitching staff is intriguing. The rotation features three pitchers ranked among the Pirates' Top 10 Prospects: lefthander Zach Duke and righthanders Bryan Bullington and Ian Snell. Righthander Bobby Bradley and lefthander Cory Stewart round out the starting five.
Pacific Coast League (AAA)
� It was a rough offseason for Diamondbacks outfielder Carlos Quentin. A back strain limited him to just three games in the AFL and he hit just .125 (3-for-24) in spring training before being sent to minor league camp. He opened the season strong, however, with a grand slam and five RBIs in Tucson's first win of the season Sunday. He is batting .538 (7-for-13) with two home runs in four games.
� Brewers second baseman Rickie Weeks, who hit a disappointing .259-8-42 in his full-season debut at Double-A Huntsville last season, went 3-for-5, falling a single short of the cycle, in Nashville's 14-5 victory over New Orleans Friday night.
� Dodgers third baseman Norihiro Nakamura, a longtime star in Japan who opted to play at Triple-A Las Vegas rather than return home, made a strong early impression for the 51s, going 5-for-10 with a pair of home runs.
� Acquired from the Braves in the Tim Hudson deal, lefty Dan Meyer was expected to step right into the big league rotation for the Athletics, but found himself at Sacramento after a 7.78 spring ERA. His struggles continued Saturday night, when he lasted just three innings against Portland, surrendering five runs on eight hits. His velocity is still well below the low 90s that he showed last year.
Eastern League (AA)
� Altoona first baseman Brad Eldred picked up where he left off last season, hitting three home runs over the weekend, with two bombs yesterday at Reading. The sixth-round pick out of Florida International in 2002 hit a combined 38 homers between high Class A Lynchburg and Altoona last year.
� With the Red Sox loaded with premium shortstops, Dustin Pedroia has moved to second base at Portland, where he and shortstop Hanley Ramirez form one of the minors' best tandems in the middle of the diamond. Both are swinging it well to start the season, and both had two hits yesterday in an 8-0 win against Norwich. Pedroia is hitting .385/.500/.615 in 13 at-bats and Ramirez is .353/.353/.471 through 17 at-bats. On the flip side, outfielder Brandon Moss, who broke through in the South Atlantic League last season, has struggled in his first 11 at-bats, hitting just .182.
Southern League
� His first exposure to Double-A pitching hasn't slowed down West Tenn center fielder Felix Pie. Pie went 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles yesterday against Chattanooga and is hitting .294 in 17 at-bats. The No. 2 prospect in the Cubs system, Pie takes advantage of his speed but isn't one-dimensional, showing an ability to hit for average and a strong outfield arm.
� Jeff Francoeur's second go-round in the Southern League has been worlds apart from last year, when he was recovering from a broken cheekbone and hit .197 in 76 at-bats. With AFL experience behind him, Francoeur hit two homers in his first four games at the Braves' new Mississippi affiliate and is hitting .471/.500/.941 with seven RBIs in 17 at-bats.
� All Padres first baseman Paul McAnulty does is hit. The 5-foot-10, 220-pounder has been compared to former big leaguer John Kruk throughout his pro career, but McAnulty slimmed down last year, improving his agility as well as his bat speed. In his first four games for Mobile, McAnulty is hitting .571 (8-for-14) with a homer and five RBIs.
Texas League (AA)
� In what is known as a hitter's league, the two undefeated teams are getting in done on the mound. Arkansas, which suffered through a miserable 59-80 season in 2004, is off to a 4-0 start thanks to a team ERA of 1.50. Joe Saunders tossed five shutout innings in a 4-1 win over Springfield Friday night, while righty Ervin Santana, who made just eight starts in 2003 while dealing with a strained elbow, allowed just two hits over seven shutout innings in a 2-0 win the following night.
� Doing the Travelers one better are the San Antonio Missions, who are also 4-0 while allowing just four runs on the season. Lefthander Bobby Livingston allowed one run over six innings on Opening Night, while fellow southpaw Tom Oldham hurled six shutout innings on Saturday.
� Rangers shortstop Joaquin Arias, one of the youngest position players in the league at 20, is off to a strong start at the plate for Frisco, going 8-for-18 (.444) with five runs and three stolen bases in four games. His struggles in the field (he made 40 errors in 2004) continued however, with a pair of miscues.
California League (High A)
�Royals top prospect Billy Butler, who earned a surprising two-level jump to High Desert to start the season, is taking early advantage of one of the best hitting parks in baseball, going 6-for-14 with a pair of home runs in four games. Outfielder Chris Lubanski has struggled so far, however, going 3-for-17 (.176) with a league-high seven whiffs. On the mound for the Mavericks, 2004 supplemental first-round pick J.P. Howell had a strangely effective start Saturday night, walking seven over five innings, but also striking out seven while allowing just one hit and one run.
� The Rangers' top two prospects, righty Thomas Diamond and lefty John Danks, both looked good in their debuts for Bakersfield. Diamond allowed four hits and one run over 5 2/3 innings on Friday, while Danks allowed one run on three hits over four innings the following day.
� A's outfielder Richie Robnett, who received the highest bonus ($1.325 million) of any member of Oakland�s 2004 draft class, has struggled early at Stockton, going 1-for-14.
Carolina League (High A)
� Orioles outfielder Jeff Fiorentino fell a single shy of hitting for the cycle on Sunday at Lynchburg. Fiorentino, a third-round pick out of Florida Atlantic last year, upped his average to .333 in 12 at-bats. The Orioles' No. 5 prospect is athletic enough to play anywhere on the field, and some in the organization liked him behind the plate, but the plan is to play Fiorentino in the outfield. He best profiles as a left fielder in the future.
� Indians lefthander Billy Traber made his first start in more than a year Sunday, allowing a run over six innings against Winston-Salem. Traber, who finished the 2003 season in the big leagues, had Tommy John surgery that October and rehabbed all last year. He experienced several setbacks in his rehabilitation and is far from being 100 percent, but is slated to make three more starts at Class A Kinston before moving to Double-A Akron. "It feels fine now," Traber said. "I guess it's come along pretty slow. Hey, it is what it is. That's about it. The hardest part about baseball--I don't care what anyone says--is rehab. Anyone who tells you differently is full of crap. Mentally, there have been tough days, but you know what? This is a man's game and you've got to toughen up. I'm not going to let an injury take me out of this game. There's no way. I'm tougher than that. If you can toughen out rehab, you can toughen out anything in this game."
Florida State League (High A)
� Always seen as a pitcher's league, the FSL reinforced the reputation this weekend. It began on Opening Night when Dodgers lefthander Chuck Tiffany, who reached double-digits in strikeouts in each of his last four starts in the South Atlantic League last year, extended his streak to five, punching out 11 (including six of the last seven batters he faced) over five shutout innings while allowing just one hit for Vero Beach. Cardinals 2004 first-round pick Chris Lambert delivered six innings without allowing a hit or walk (he did hit one batter), while Cubs righty Carlos Marmol delivered six no-hit innings of his own in a 2-0 win over Brevard County.
Two of the first three selections in the 2004 draft also made their professional debuts. Mets righty Philip Humber (No. 3 overall) took the tough loss against Tiffany, allowing four hits and one run over five innings in St. Lucie's 1-0 loss to Vero Beach. Humber struck out six without issuing a walk, throwing 47 of his 65 pitches for strikes. Tigers righty Justin Verlander (No. 2 overall) pitched just three innings and took the loss in Lakeland's 8-5 loss to Tampa, giving up three hits and two runs (one earned), while walking one and striking out four. Yankees righthander Tyler Clippard got the win for the Yankees with six shutout innings.
� Believe it or not, there was some hitting in the league, with Fort Myers off to a 4-0 start, thanks in part to a team average of .328. Third baseman Matt Moses, the Twins' first-round pick in 2003 who was limited to just 29 games last year due to a stress fracture in his lower back, got off to a quick start by going deep in each of the team's first two games.
Midwest League (Low A)
� A trio of high-profile Twins pitchers made their full-season debuts for Beloit, with mixed results. Righthander Anthony Swarzak, a second-round pick last year, pitched six no-hit innings on Opening Night, striking out eight and walking one in a 2-1 win over Quad Cities. First-rounder Kyle Waldrop allowed just two unearned runs in a 6-2 win the next night. Things didn't go so well for Dutch lefty Alexander Smit on Sunday. The 19-year-old failed to get out of the first inning, allowing five runs, but the team rallied for a 7-5 win to improve to 3-1. Third baseman David Winfree has been leading the way offensively, going 8-for-15 (.533), with four doubles and a home run in four games.
� Lansing, the new low Class A affiliate of the Blue Jays, got off to a 4-0 start, highlighted by righty Casey Janssen's seven no-hit innings on Opening Night. Danny Hill, a 2004 third-round pick out of Missouri, picked up saves in three of the team's four victories. The victim of Lansing's hot start, the 0-4 Fort Wayne Wizards, have managed to score just 12 runs, but have not been without strong pitching performances of their own. Righthander Michael Eckstrom allowed just one hit over six shutout innings, but pitched against Janssen, while fellow righty Joel Santo allowed just three hits and one run over six innings on Saturday.
South Atlantic League (Low A)
� Kannapolis' duo of lefthanders drafted in 2004, Gio Gonzalez and Ray Liotta, shut down Asheville this weekend. Gonzalez threw five shutout innings on Opening Night, striking out nine and walking two while giving up three hits in a victory. Liotta didn't figure in the decision but gave up one run in five innings, fanning seven and walking two.
� Giants prospect Marcus Sanders got off to a strong start at Augusta with seven hits in his first 18 at-bats and two steals Sunday night in 4-2 win at Charleston. Sanders is the fastest runner in the organization, rating an 80 non the 20-80 scouting scale. In other Giants news, Greenjackets righthander Brian Wilson earned his first save of the season. Wilson, a 24th-rounder in 2003 out of Louisiana State, is coming back from Tommy John surgery in a closer role this year.
� The Marlins added righthander Jeff Allison to the low Class A Greensboro roster. Allison, a first-round pick in 2003 who didn't play in 2004 because of substance-abuse problems, was placed on the temporarily inactive list. The team said there's no timetable for returning him to an active roster spot.
� Rockies third baseman Ian Stewart will be held back in extended spring training at least two weeks with a hamstring strain. Stewart, 20, tore up the Sally League at Asheville last season, hitting .319/.398/.594 with 30 homers and 101 RBIs last season.

Thousands are braving frigid temperatures on the streets of Pasadena as they await the start of the 122nd Rose Parade.
Pasadena fire officials advise parade-goers to dress warmly, with overnight temperatures expected to dip into the 30s along the parade route.
A partly cloudy forecast and temperatures in the 50s are expected to greet the flowered floats, ponies and princesses that will roll down Colorado Boulevard on New Year's Day.
Food Network star and popular cookbook author Paula Deen will serve as grand marshal and 17-year-old Evanne (EH'-vehn) Elizabeth Friedmann of La Canada is queen of the parade themed "Building Dreams, Friendships and Memories."
The parade gets underway at 8 a.m.

Interior designer Angela Stone gives us tips on how you can create a unique look that she coined "Farmhouse Modern." She describes her aesthetic as a style that combines the character of old with the simplicity of new. The "Farmhouse" aspect relates to pieces that are storied, worn and natural like an English kitchen table made of barn wood, in which the nails have been pulled out, but its modest origin is intentionally exposed. Stone believes that there is great beauty in allowing things to age naturally.
This episode of Open House was hosted from 1055 Park Ave., New York, NY. For more information on this property, please contact Melanie Lazenby or Dina Lewis of Prudential Douglas Elliman at 212-727-6131 or 212-727-6129. View the listing.

I spent three years learning this skill ,a few hundred dollars on tools,and a lot of footwork gathering the stone.Every piece I make I learn something new.Latest piece here I had on display at the 2010 Med Evil Fair in Norman,Oklahoma.Lots of response but still no buyers.
Not just any old stone
its beautiful....Id take it in a heartbeat...
I do high end basketry (75.00 to 850.00). It takes a lot of time and effort and just the right buyer for stuff like what we do. they have to think long and hard about letting go of the cash now a days.Im sure youve had your share of Bebacks as they are called.. "I love it and Ill be back to get it "what they say...lol.
I started out with small art shows and it took me 5 yrs to finally find the ones that my artwork sold at ..Many a weekend I sat and sold nothing but I met people who in turned showed me better shows and gave me contacts to help me along .. I also made a ton of friendships that I cherish.....so dont give up it ...will happen if you keep striving for it...
WOW Great looking Table!!!!!
I don't what your asking for a piece like that but maybe a Home Show how would be a better show then a craft show. what is the weight on a table like that
The internet has really changed the way people buy now have you tried to list somewhere.
OH Yes the BEBACKS .... I have always said if I just had a nickle for ever BEBACK I would be Rich ..
I have been doing shows for almost 30 years .. Still to this day I have a booth at a fleamarket Guess its in my blood .
there are craft show filled with what I call lovings hands work imports and resale stuff.... then there are fine art and crafts show.. which is what he should be in.. check out sunshine artist magizine for some good info on shows and ways ro promote your work..
my son in law runs a quarry with his step dad - I will show him this. Not sure what sort of rock he pulls out of it.
We have some high end galleries in NC that would love to show that piece. Asheville, Boone, Blowing Rock and even in creedmoor at Cedar Creek Gallery.
You are exceptionally talented!!!!!! I love your work. God has definitely blessed you.
Wow, I love those tables and clocks! What talent! You're amazing!
Love the edge detail.
Great work...... do you have any craftsmen or art galleries by you? I would think that some would be willing to consign a table and clock for display. You paycommision, but you can incorporate that into your price.
Know the 'BeBacks' well here too. We make mirrors, clocks, hanging vases and hanging tealights out of vintage silverplate, glassware, tins, tea pots, etc. We're on a couple of year hiatus right now due to the economy and more and more buy-and-sells in the shows we do. One more 'artist' with those ever rare metal wind spinners......... The artist quality had gone down in the last couple of years, so we've taken a break till the economy gets going again. The upside is that I took a class on how to use a sewing machine and another on quilting..... now 25 quilts later.....
Wow very nice work...thanks for sharing the photos. I like the rock clocks. My husband laughs at me when we take a trip up to the mountains...I always bring home rocks I find and put them in my garden. Rocks are scarce in Florida.
I ♥ stonework!
I am a sucker for clocks and I love stone, so I really like that! Have you thought about taking the clock face off and just using the hands? The stone is so beautiful that the face seems to take away from it. = Just my opinion, but I love the stone!
yes I have but the whole there is from a 1 " hole for a water faulset,I did use lacquer thinner to take off the shiny fake gold plate and put a flat gold color on it.You have a point,I need to look at higher end clock faces instead of buying cheap ones from HoBby Lobby,That is like a ten dollar clock mechanize on a sixty dollar piece of Very rare stone.But you see the more I spend on materials the more the cost goes,As for the tops of the tables I may just sell them and let the new owners take care of the bottoms.I am eying a bronze casting place herein this town but the prices are astronomical ,making the set itself beyond several thousand,but it would take your breath away.
My Cousins made clocks with beautiful inlays of different woods and to keep the eye on the wood, they just used the hands and in the place of the clockface on the stem, they just put some extra washers so that it would all fit together tightly. They bought the clock mechanisms in hundred lots and only paid a dollar or two each, so they were super-cheap plastic ones and not high-end at all. Like you, they repainted the hands with a flat finish.
Those tabletops are beautiful.
I thank thank my peers.I appreciate the feed back,Juneybug,I enjoy talking with you .When I get back to my home PC I'll send some more pics of a cool clock that has rings in the stone
The lovely work is reminding me of a trip to Australia - where we visited a marble quarry in the Outback. We were told that whatever we wanted to take from the slag pile was ours to have!!!! Oh Lord - luggage limits and all!!!!!! I have tiny hand held pieces and memories of what "could have been".
I am thinking of one of the threads here where someone used a cast-iron base from an old singer sewing machine - but I love frilly metal☺
I am thinking of one of the threads here where someone used a cast-iron base from an old singer sewing machine - but I love frilly metal☺ Maybe you could find something in an architectural salvage store.
Love the old sewing machine base idea, as I have 2 tables made that way.
Have you thought about showing at Warrenton-Roundrock Antiques Show. You would be on your way to riches. Google it as the next show will be about Oct. 29-till....I don't know. It is not only the best place in Texas but maybe in the USA.
You've got it, now find a place to make it pay.

Can someone help me with a horror movie name, I only have a vague description as I seen a while ago.
Basically Its a family that lives somewhere in the country side in america, they are farmers and produce meat, however the meat they make is made with humans they capture. They then burry them in the ground with there heads out and cut there vocal cords so they make weird sounds but cant scream.
I think they also own a meat store that sells the meat.
the couple is old I believe and they have a daughter or son.
any help? the camera filter seems to be old as well so I guess its an old movie. probaly has squeals.

Type: New Feature
Status: Resolved
Priority: Major
Resolution: Fixed
Affects Version/s: None
Fix Version/s: None
Component/s: classpath container
Currently, IvyDE puts all artifacts into the classpath container (see http://jayasoft.org/node/560).
My proposal is to let the user configure types for both "jar" artifacts (classes) and "src" artifacts (the source for the classes). Only those should be used for the classpath container, and corresponding jar and src artifacts should be combined into a single entry in the container with sources attached to the classes.

I've finally applied your patch Peter, sorry for the delay.
I'll try to release a new version of IvyDE tomorrow, thus your contribution will then be part of an official release. Thanks a lot for your contribution and for your patience.
I would like to improve it today evening (I hope)
- better names for added staff ... (in java sources)
- add workspace and project configuration for what types should be considered as source and javadoc files
If you have any comment / notice, get it to me.
I have implemented the first working draft of sources and javadoc support... (solution 2a)
It works.
This is the answer:
Hi Peter,
Solution 2a has my preference too, I agree with all your arguments! Sharing the e-mail on jira is a good idea too, you should have access to jira again.
thanks a lot for your contribution
I think a combination of solution 2a and 2c would allow for more flexibility.
- source/javadoc artifacts have a special type to identify them as being a source/javadoc artifact
- source/javadoc artifacts have a (configurable) naming pattern (default could be [artifact].jar, but you could specify for instance [artifact]-src.zip and [artfiact]-doc.zip as pattern)
In addition, even more flexibility could be achieved if different types/patterns could be defined for different repositories.
For instance, say I have a local repository and a Maven2 repository. Suppose my local repository has the following naming-convention for source artifacts: [artifact]-src.zip and the maven2 repository has the convention [artifact]-sources.jar. Being able to specify different patterns would allow me to have automatically source attached for both repositories.
In addition, if maven2 must be supported, I think Ivy will have to be modified as well to assign a custom type to source/javadoc artifacts...
This is content of my email to Xavier:
Hi Xavier
I would like to discuss the problem of adding support for Java sources to IvyDE (Ivy).
I would like to ask you on your opinion about the good solution.
At first something about maven2 support.
Maven2 works in this way (I think, but I am not the maven2 expert . Maven2 has groupId ("equivalent" of organization and module in Ivy) and artifactId (equivalent of artifact name in Ivy). In fact, there is separate descriptor for every artifact (artifactId). So, in directory coresponding to groupId and artifactId are some desription info files (xml, sha, pom), one jar file containing classes and optionaly one jar file containing java sources and optionally one jar file containing javadoc (optional jar files corespond to artifact classes jar file automatically).
It looks like maven2 supposes that artifact "is always" java jar file, which may have automatically coresponding sources and javadoc jar files.
That was what I know about maven2 , not much, maybe its not truth.
I think, that having java sources for libraries is problem of development (coding), not building. Thus, it implies that adding support for sources should impact only IDE (in this case only IvyDE, not Ivy). I see 2 base solutions, how to get support for sources to IvyDE (Ivy): The second solution may be implemented in many ways (I sketch some subsolutions .
Make Ivy to support sources jar files automatically (in way similar to maven2).
This means that every artifact may have optional (automatically associated) sources and javadoc jars. This would impact Ivy itself. not only IvyDE. I did not think much this solution over, because I think it is not good - it would require changes in Ivy and probably it would be in contradiction wiht Ivy philosophy ... (I mention this solution just to be more complete ... and maybe you will have other meaning).
Sources and javadoc will be regular artifacts, which may or amy not be present in module (presence of sources and javadoc jars will be
optional and will depend only on module creator).
The problem here is only how to distinquish these types of jars and how to associate them together (sources and javadoc jars with
coresponding "classes" jar).
As I mention before, this association is needed to be known only for IDE (in our case Eclipse, so IvyDE). IvyDE will add to classpath only classes jars. Sources and javadoc jars will be downloaded to cache and associated to corresponding classes jars classpath entries (if present).
Sources and javadoc jars will be downloaded in regular manner by resolve "task". So it may happens that sources will be present in repository but will not be downloaded to cache, because of choosing configuration, which will not contain sources ...
The way for associating corresponding files together are here:
Association of coresponding jar files will be done by name of artifact (they will have the same name of artifact). They will differ only
by type of the artifact. There will be conventional type for sources and javadoc or the type may be customized or both (conventional
default, which will be able to be overriden by custom types for sources and javadocs).
Same as 2a) (artifact name will be the same). There will be new special attribute of artifact, which will distinguish between classes,
sources and javadoc jars. Attribute may be custom attribute (not in DTD for ivy.xml) or regular one (in new DTD for ivy.xml)
Corresponding classes, sources and javadoc jar files will have different names, but following convention like this:
classes jar artifact name: artifact
sources jar artifact name: artifact-sources
javadoc jar artifact name: artifact-javadoc
I would choose solution 2a). Xavier, what solution would you prefer ? May be, there is no solution acceptable ...
The idea is good, however I don't think we will address it ourself at jayasoft for the moment, since we use another solution: WOJ (http://www.worldofjava.org/), and our time is limited.
But if someone submits a patch addressing this issue, we will be glad to integrate it.

"We are
fa-mi-ly!" Most of us have sung along loudly with the
classic Sister Sledge song at some point in our lives.
As Mother's Day arrives, it appears that the
words to our much-beloved LGBT anthem have new
meaning: Queer families are more visible than ever.
HBO's recent release of All Aboard:
Rosie's Family Cruise and ABC's announcement
that, at the invitation of Barbara Walters, Rosie
O'Donnell will be taking a seat on the daily
talk show The View highlight this visibility. As both a
mother of 4-year-old twin boys and the head of an
organization that promotes equality for LGBT families,
I recently found myself at the center of this media
After months of
organizing by Family Pride—and enduring the expected
attacks from political extremists who would prefer that LGBT
families did not exist—my family made our stand
with more than 100 other LGBT families and supporters
by participating in the annual Easter Egg Roll at the
White House. My partner, Cheryl, and I and our sons braved
the rain and chill of that day to roll brightly
colored eggs across the South Lawn and to visit with a
number of well-known children's characters, like
Cookie Monster, Curious George, and Clifford the Big
Red Dog. Like the other LGBT families in our group, we
wore rainbow leis around our necks to identify
ourselves and raincoats on our backs to protect us from the
The event was
amazing in many ways, but it was also unexpectedly moving.
As I stood with my family with the White House just feet
away, I was moved by the knowledge that the White
House belongs more to me than to whomever its current
resident might be. As U.S. citizens, my family and I
were claiming our heritage and our right to participate
fully and proudly in all aspects of our society. At
the same time, however, I had to spend a few minutes
that day away from my family debating Bill O'Reilly
via cell phone on his radio show and defending our
right to participate visibly in the event.
It has been easy
in recent years for lesbians and gays to feel
disenfranchised within this country. Opponents of our
equality have politicized the most intimate aspects of
who we are and whom we love. They have attacked our
desire to shelter our loved ones with the protections
of domestic partnership and civil marriage. They have
attacked our desire to expand our families and to provide
safe and nurturing homes to children in need of foster
care and adoption. They have objectified our families
and used us as a "wedge issue" to influence
elections. Our opponents would have the American public
believe that lesbians and gays are somehow separate
from the rest of the country.
However, the
reality is that we are—and always have been—an
integral part of American society and history. And we
will be a part of its future as well. "We the
People" includes lesbian and gay individuals and our
families. In the current legal and political climate, it is
as important for us to remember that fact as it is for
us to educate others. When we wore rainbow leis to the
White House Easter Egg Roll, we identified ourselves
as a part of the fabric of American society. In addition, we
were able to look out across the expanse of the lawn and see
other families like ours enjoying the festivities.
Just as our raincoats protected us from the rain, our
rainbow leis protected us from invisibility.
Whenever we
introduce ourselves, we take another step towards achieving
equality. When we tell the full story of our lives and our
families, we humanize ourselves to those who might not
know us or might deny our place in American society.
We make it that much harder for our opponents to
objectify us and use us as a means to achieve their
political ends. When the Supreme Court decision in
Lawrence v. Texas came down, our sexual lives became
legal. But the harsh fact is that our family lives are not.
The attacks continue, and our opponents are organized and
well funded. We have not made so much progress that we
can rest on our laurels or lessen our vigilance.
Now more than
ever it is time for us to stand up and introduce ourselves.
It is time for us to say it loud and say it proud:
"We are family."

Speaking of waiting awhile for new tunes — Erasure has released their first studio album in over four years with Tomorrow's World.
The two-disc album was produced by famed dance scene producer Frankmusik, who has worked with the likes of [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Lady Gaga[/lastfm] and [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Pet Shop Boys[/lastfm].
If you're feeling a bit angry and just want to rock out and give the establishment the bird, there is [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Five Finger Death Punch[/lastfm] and their third album American Capitalist.

Earlier this year, I fell head over heels for the Brown Ranch Chardonnay from Saintsbury. So when my brother-in-law and sister-in-law recently asked me to plan and accompany them on a wine tasting trip to Carneros, you can guess where I planned our first stop.
At this point, I have been to a lot of wineries in the northern California region, and without a doubt, this visit was among my top five best ever. The wines were great, but the visit was much more than that. The staff that shared the wines with us, and taught us about the history of the winery, were so welcoming and fun that it made the visit extra special. Saintsbury has a permit that only allows them to hold tastings by appointment, which I actually think it a nice thing for the wine lover. It will never be crowded and you get the undivided attention of the person pouring the wines. The adorable and quaint room where they hold the tastings is comfy and makes you feel like you are in the home of the winery, and definitely not in a huge commercial multi-million dollar facility which is common in Napa.
OK, the wines. As I mentioned above, I was very interested in their Chardonnay, and we spent a lot of time learning about their two offerings made from this varietal. The 09 Carneros Chardonnay ($28) is made from grapes grown in seven different vineyards across Carneros. It is a lighter style of Chardonnay which makes it an easy to drink wine on a hot summer day. It does go through malolactic fermentation which softens the wine, but the use of oak in the fermentation process is restrained which means the true taste of the wine is allowed to shine. There is a nice amount of acidity which makes it very food friendly. 13,000 cases of this wine are made so it should be fairly easy to find in many retail stores and restaurants.
The Brown Ranch Chardonnay is a very special wine ($40). The vineyard where the grapes are grown is owned by the winery, and grows only Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. As I mentioned in my last post about this wine, the cooler climate in this area makes it ideal for those two varietals. This wine is designed to age, and I was extremely lucky on my visit to try three different vintages of the wine, side by side, with the winemaker Jerome Chery. This portion of our visit most definitely contributed to this being one of my top wine tasting experiences.
The three vintages of the Brown Ranch Chard that we tried were the 07, 08 and 09. This kind of a tasting experience really highlights how amazing and alive wines are, especially when they are small production wines such as this one. Each year had different weather conditions which led to a difference in the crop. And, the time in the bottle had a tremendous impact on the flavor and aromas of the wine.
You will note that one of the bottles does not have a label. This is because the 09 will not be released until the fall and had not been labeled yet. I can tell you that even at its early stage, the 09 wine is wonderful. The aged versions of this wine (07, 08) have aromas of tropical fruits like melon and pineapple and it is remarkable to see that some of those wonderful elements of wine are created in the bottle, well after the winemaker has finished his work.
Saintsbury is also known for their Pinot Noirs, which we unfortunately only briefly tasted (time flew by way too fast on our visit). While I would like to visit again to spend more time with the various Pinot Noir offerings, especially the single vineyard wines, I can tell you that the Brown Ranch Vineyard also yields some pretty amazing Pinot Noir ($60). This wine is made in the earthier, Burgundian style which I just love. If you get a chance to try this wine, seize that opportunity.
I highly recommend a visit to Saintsbury. Do not let the notion of needing an appointment intimidate you or deter you from what could be a wine tasting experience that you remember forever.
Rating: 4 out of 4 – highly recommend

Tony Pulis believes Saido Berahino will be an improved player at West Brom next season despite speculation over his future.
The Baggies chief has spoken out on the 22-year-old England international forward, who has only scored four goals in the Premier League this term having spent vast spells of time on the bench after being unsettled by Tottenham's failed bids to sign him last summer.
Spurs and the likes of Watford and Crystal Palace have since been linked with a fresh bid to sign Berahino, who it was thought would definitely leave the Hawthorns as he is about to enter the final year of his current contract.
But Pulis has suggested that Berahino could still be a Baggies player in August and he is confident that he will rediscover the form which saw him score 20 goals in the 2014-15 season.
Latest video
He told the Express & Star: "Who says he's not going to sign another contract with us? I don't know, do you? Wait and see.
"The big thing with Saido is that he can wash away all the nonsense again. He's got the experience of dealing with people that just want to talk about his future all the time.
The most important thing with Saido is that he concentrates on football. Whatever happens in the summer – if he comes back to this football club – he will have learned from last year.
"He's been given a gift, and that gift is playing football and not talking about it but doing it. If he leaves, he leaves, if he doesn't, he's had that experience and he's a better person for it."

Pat Metheny varies the contexts for his music his current "main" group (present on his latest CD The Way Up, Nonesuch) includes longtime keyboard player Lyle Mays, drummer Antonio Sanchez and trumpeter Cuong Vu, and his current touring trio, the swingers he brought to the Windy City on a windy Friday night, is comprised of Sanchez and bass giant Christian McBride. These three held the packed house at Michigan Avenue's Symphony Center in the collective palm of their hand(s).
The show opened with a couple of solo guitar pieces, one on acoustic baritone guitar and another on a mutant guitar/harp/lute axe while these spots "showcased" Metheny's incredible technique (sometimes sounding like more than one guitarist), that technique served the music, not his ego or the guitar devotees. Both pieces were based in Anglo-American folk music and were enriched/expanded upon by his skill as an improviser. Then Sanchez and McBride took to the stage and things got cookin' in a hurry. Metheny picked up one of his electrics and effortlessly melded aspects of Wes Montgomery chordology, bebop saxophone vocabulary and John Coltrane's "sheets of sound," while McBride's FULL-bodied, busy, rippling bass (he knows how to bow, too) and Sanchez's sharp, crackling, reserved (in the sense of having a light touch and tantalizingly brief solos) drumming kept things in a constant state of Swing. Metheny announced the trio would be performing several as-yet-untitled new compositions, yet if there was any tentativeness on the part of the musicians, it certainly didn't show. This band was as limber as any great jazz group and as tight as any great rock band. For an encore, the PM3 surprised (most of) the house with a blues-charged, blistering rocker a la Jeff Beck (in his pre-Blow By Blow epoch, that is) or Jimmie Vaughn, with McBride playing electric bass in an almost guitar-like (a la Jack Bruce) manner. The PM3 played close to two hours but it passed like a half-hour set time really does fly when you're having a) toast; b) fun; c) feasting on a fine musical repast or d) all of the above.

MOSCOW, Oct. 8 (UPI) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin said he suspected his Georgian counterpart would cling to power despite a loss for his party in recent parliamentary elections.
The United National Movement party of Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili lost to the Georgian Dream party during last week's parliamentary elections. Saakashvili, accused of monopolizing power following a 2004 revolution, said he'd move his party into the opposition.
Putin said he expected Saakashvili to hold on to power despite the loss.
"Saakashvili will try to cling to power," Putin was quoted by state-run news agency RIA Novosti as saying.
Saakashvili was criticized for going to war with Russia in 2008 over the disputed territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia and cut diplomatic ties to Moscow.
Saakashvili remains in power until October 2013. The country's government will shift to a parliamentary system after those elections.
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe said the campaign environment was marred by violence and polarization, though the election itself was viewed as competitive.

The continent is facing the task of controlling the effects of some of the globe's harshest social, ecological and economic conditions. But in spite of that – or perhaps because of it – companies in Africa want to become acknowledged as equal partners in the world of global finance.
Access Bank has achieved exactly that. It has proactively looked for responsible business opportunities and incorporated good governance considerations into its daily operations. By doing so, it has significantly raised its profile internationally.
Access Bank believes that a country's local environment cannot be isolated when addressing issues of sustainability. Factors including government policy, the socio-economic environment and a nation's political landscape all play a significant role in sustainable development. The bank, which has branches throughout Ivory Coast, DR Congo, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Zambia, has taken on the role of signatory to numerous international sustainability initiatives. Some of the most widely regarded have included raising finance for renewable energy projects, schemes to encourage female entrepreneurs, and the organisation of events to inspire other Nigerian financial organisations.
Sustainable development first
As an indigenous African company, Access Bank faces unusual tests within its local operating environment. Regardless of these trials, its approach to sustainability has remained versatile and progressive. Access Bank has learned to deal with issues arising out of its locality by balancing economic growth, social development, and environmental protection. Integrating ecological, communal and corporate governance considerations into its investment management and lending activities has impacted positively on the bank's overall performance.
Sustainable finance underpins Access Bank's well-planned strategy. The bank recognises its responsibility to drive the operational and economic performance of the company in a manner that values its clients and employees, upholds the financial system, and delivers long-term benefits to its host communities.
It also strives to address the challenge of sustainability so as to ensure that future generations are not compromised by actions taken today. The bank does this by continually reviewing its policies, which allows it to accommodate environmental and geographical realities into its business strategy, while adhering to global best practices.
In developing this plan, the bank has given consideration to a range of principles, including the UN's Environment Programme Finance Initiative, the UN's Principles for Responsible Investment, and the Global Reporting Initiative. Access Bank's policy regarding these principles is also in line with its key strategic objectives, and is consistent with its enterprise risk management framework, which promotes a moderate and guarded risk attitude to guarantee sustainable growth in shareholder value and reputation. This includes positioning itself as a top three financial services group in Nigeria, becoming the employer of choice in Africa, and attaining an Augusto AAA and a Fitch A+ credit rating by the end of 2012.
Setting an example
In order to manage environmental and social risk and improve performance – in spite of how they affect the jurisdiction – Access Bank has introduced organisational learning, and has adopted a comprehensive environmental and social risk management policy. The bank has been in the spotlight for a few years now for contributing to its local communities. Award titles such as Most Socially Responsible Bank, Sustainable Bank of the Year, and Best ESG Asset Manager are just a few of the company's recent accolades.
The bank and its employees have worked vigorously, and always alongside its clients, to understand what customers require. It has then systematically incorporated this knowledge into the way it conducts its business.
Access Bank is driving the development of a set of Nigerian sustainable banking principles to address environmental, development and social issues. The bank's policy on sustainability has been very successful: so much so that it has significantly influenced the way other African companies conduct their business in the region.
CSR at the heart of Access Bank
Africa's health concerns are also taken extremely seriously at Access Bank. The continent is one of the regions most heavily affected by HIV, Aids, TB and malaria. These illnesses are one of the main factors responsible for a decline in productivity, reduced profits and increased business expenditure for small enterprises in the region. The bank has been at the forefront of the private sector response to fight against these diseases in sub-Saharan Africa, and has helped to build and rehabilitate Africa's health infrastructure.
The group's CEO, Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, has demonstrated the bank's pledge on different occasions and is widely recognised as a proponent of CSR in the African business community. With his guidance the bank has signed agreements and created close associations with the most essential national and international health organisations in Africa, including GBC Health Initiative.
Additionally, the lender has joined forces with a range of other multinational companies, including Friends of the Global Fund Africa, to help initiate measures for the prevention and treatment of illnesses affecting the continent.
Access Bank achieved this through workplace policy workshops for 2,000 SMEs throughout Ghana, Zambia, Nigeria and Rwanda. The workshops focused on training companies on the development and implementation of workplace policies for the most serious illnesses. The plan also benefited employees and their dependants, who were trained on making informed behavioural and medical choices to help decrease and prevent further spread.
Access Bank's policy provisions also targeted care and support for workers and their families, and the protection of the rights of those affected by HIV/Aids. The group will continue to be an ardent advocate of responsible business practice, and has become a role-model for other banks to follow.

Ford Fairlane Replacement Exhaust System Information
A very important part of overall vehicle operations, the Fairlane Ford exhaust system is key to keeping the engine moving while eliminating unwanted heat and exhaust.

The system included a long tube extending through the entire chassis from engine to rear exhaust pipe. An exhaust manifold on the side of the engine transport used and burned fuel from that area to the exhaust pipe. The pipe goes to the muffler and tail pipe for final ejection from the vehicle. Owners maintain the entire system to keep engines purring and all systems go.
They are available for the following Ford Fairlane years: 1967, 1966, 67, 66. This part is also sometimes called Ford Fairlane Cat Back Exhaust.

Sixteen states have, according to Kaiser Health News, set a limit on the number of prescription drugs that will be covered for Medicaid patients. And, due to the Medicaid expansion along with the federal subsidy for health-care premiums that will be available to people earning up to 400 percent of the poverty level, many more will be somewhat or completely dependent on Obamacare for their health care.
Phil Galewitz, reporting for Kaiser Health News, said that,"some people say it's a matter of you know states are throwing things up against the wall to see what might work, so states have tried, they've also tried formularies where they'll pick certain brand name drugs over other drugs. So states try a whole lot of different things. They're trying different ways of paying providers to try to maybe slow the costs down."
Galewitz added: "So it seems like Medicaid's sort of been one big experiment over the last number of years for states to try to control costs, and it's an ongoing battle, and I think drugs is just now one of the … latest issues. And it's a relatively recent thing, only in the last 10 years have we really seen states put these limits on monthly drugs."
As the Affordable Care Act was being pushed through Congress, several warned about the rationing that would occur. What was originally scoffed at by some liberal groups is now becoming a reality.
National Right To Life has confirmed that Obamacare contains "multiple provisions that will, if fully implemented, result in government-imposed rationing of lifesaving medical care."
What that means, at length, is that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will have the power to impose "quality and efficiency" measures on health care providers, based on recommendations by the Independent Payment Advisory Board. This board has the purpose of forcing private health care spending below the rate of medical inflation.
So, if a discrepancy exists between a doctor advised treatment plan and the imposed standards, guess who will win. The desired treatment will be denied, even if the patient wants to pay for it.
LifeNews reports:
The law instructs and authorizes state bureaucrats to limit the value of the insurance policies that Americans may purchase. Not only will the exchanges exclude policies from competing in an exchange when government authorities do not agree with their premiums, but the exchanges will even exclude insurers whose plans outside the exchange offer consumers the ability to reduce the danger of treatment denial by spending what those government authorities claim to be an 'excessive or unjustified' amount.
This will create a 'chilling effect,' deterring insurers who hope to compete within the exchanges from offering adequately funded plans even outside of them, so that consumers will find it increasingly difficult to obtain health insurance that offers adequate and unrationed health care."
And, that's not all. It has been reported that the current shortage of physicians is expected to worsen with the advent of Obamacare. Additionally, so far one in 10 employers plan to drop health care benefits and more may join that exodus. Finally, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), though Obamacare is slated to cost $1.93 Trillion, an estimated 30 million people will still be left uninsured.
