Matlock Bath (Derbyshire)
Member Name: katygriff
Matlock Bath (Derbyshire)
Date: 03/07/12
Advantages: Lots to do.
Disadvantages: None
I visited Matlock bath this week and although I only spent a few hours there although travelling 2 to get there, I think it was well worth it. So Matlock bath is located in Derbyshire and nearby places are Matlock, Derby and Bakewell which are also all worth visiting.
You arrive at Matlock bath and you immediately see a river on one side which you can walk along and all of the small unique shops the other side. So let's discuss shopping first. Matlock bath has sewing shops, souvenir shops and Antique shops on the main street. It won't take you long to walk down it maybe a couple of hours if you visit everything. 2 minutes away ou have Masson Mills which is like a huge Edinburgh woollen mill when you walk in. This is where we visited and it has crafts, models and all sorts there plus a huge cafe so is worth a visit.
Let's do eating now. We had fish and chips of which as to be expected from a tourist hotspot there are a few to choose from. There are a lot of places I saw to eat but we didn't go in any of them. The rib place looked lovely though.
Then we have attractions round Matlock bath which are Masson mills which is good. Also the heights of Abraham where you go in cable cars which looked amazing but due to the weather we did not visit. We did however go to the farm which housed lots of animals for my Lottie to see. She particularly loved the goats. I also saw the signs for Gullivers Kingdom which I haven't been to for years but is an amazing theme park.
In short Matlock bath is great and we loved our day out even in the rain. It is located on the A6 in Derbyshire and I found it without a satnav so I'm sure you will be able to.
Go and enjoy.
Summary: Great place rain or shine.

Today, due to advances in the development of medical technologies, there are several new medical tests that have been introduced. You may be advised to do a new test for the very same symptoms for which you had probably been advised other ones last year, only for the sake of more precision. Sometimes, you may find this confusing. This section helps in guiding you on various lab tests and treatment procedures. Click on to find out what these treatments and procedures are, for which diseases they are advised, and what they indicate. Now, get in-depth information about all the possible types of treatments, procedures, and tests.
Bone marrow stem cells transplant is used to treat certain types of cancers. Stem cells are young cells, generated in bone marrow. Stem cells are vital part of our body as they generate various kinds of blood cells. Blood cells carry oxygen to the different parts of our body and hence stem cells are so important.
Need Bone marrow stem cells transplant makes patient capable to accept high chemotherapy doses. Cancer cells divide fast than normal cells. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy targets cell division. The process usually involves destruction of bone marrow. After destruction, bone marrow is not capable of producing new blood cells.Criteria for transplant
Procedure Bone marrow is obtained by the process of harvesting, which takes about an hour. In this process general anesthesia is used. If regional anesthesia is used, then sensations below waist are lost. Over pelvic (hip) or rarely in stemum (breastbone) needles are inserted through skin. The marrow is drowned out of bone. It is then processed to remove blood and bone particles. They are kept alive by using some kinds of preservatives. With this cryopreserved technique, cells can remain active for many years. These mature cells produce muscle, bone, cartilage, bone, fat, tendons. In the demonstration at various centers, these cells are isolated from bone marrow. Afterwards they are transferred into cell cultures. Encouragement is given for reproduction and growth of these cells. How these cells are useful into cell therapy, tissue engineering, and gene therapy is a part of beginning research. Patient receives stem cells with intravenous line like blood transfusion. The entire procedure takes almost 1 to 5 hours for completion.
Result Cells go to bone marrow and starts reproduction after transplant. This process is known as engraftment. It occurs within 2-4 weeks. Process completion takes time as per the type. With further blood tests, doctor monitors number of various blood cells and the reoccurrence of cancer. Patient may come across adverse effects as the process is unbearable. In typical conditions, patients go through total body irradiation or chemotherapy to remove cancer before stem cell transplants.
ConsiderationSide effects There is a major risk of infection and bleeding due to high dose cancer treatment. Antibodies are used to prevent infection. Transfusions of platelets are given to prevent the bleeding and for treating anemia red blood cells. Some short term side effects associated with the transplant are nausea, fatigue, loss of appetite, vomiting, mouth sores, skin reactions and hair loss.
Some long term risks complications of the pretransplant chemotherapy, and radiotherapy as infertility, secondary cancers, cataracts and kidney, liver, heart, and lung damage.

I think because of the Facebook integration allowing you to earn lots of coins via goals and score wars as well as cred being useless after you've unlocked all powerups and the achievements (1000 and 10000 cred). The whole system becomes pointless but the bigger issue I have is the road rage powerup. I think there should be some kind of way to earn road rage as it's essentially Blitz's equivalent to MW2's Tactical Nuke. For MW2, you have to earn a 25 killstreak which is a challenge. Regarding Blitz, all you need is to unlock it by getting enough cred and spend 300 coins. Not exactly a challenge!
Maybe a better option would be to increase the price of road rage to like 5000 coins or if you use it, it becomes unavailable for the next 20/25 songs (of which you have to play unique songs to get it back).

WEST MONROE, La., (KNOE 8 News) - Four teenagers have been arrested in the wake of an overnight burglary in West Monroe.
Police arrived at the store on 7th Avenue shortly after the store's burglar alarm went off.
Unfortunately for the burglars, video surveillance cameras got pictures of the burglary in progress and the four were arrested shortly thereafter, still on foot near the store.
The four have been identified as Rayshad Gilbert, Temarkus Scott, Azbiun Price, and Marquarius York. All except Gilbert are from Monroe, Gilbert is from West Monroe.
West Monroe police officers have arrested four teens as suspects in Monday's burglary of a business in the 500 block of North Seventh Street.
Suspects arrested were Zabiun J. Price, 18, Marquarius D. York, 18, and Temarkus T. Scott, 18, all of Monroe, and Rayshad A. Gilbert, 19, of West Monroe.
Police responded to a burglar alarm shortly after midnight and found a front window had been broken.
The business' video surveillance system recorded the suspects as they burglarized the business, an arrest affidavit states. Police reported identifying the males and releasing the information to officers in the area.
The suspects were located later walking in the area, and according to police, they all implicated each other after being arrested.

Presqu'ile Waterfowl FestivalOff to the Park…When Judi and I first started visiting festivals and events, we considered going to the Presqu'ile Waterfowl Festival. For one reason or another, we never made it. That is until this year. I think the main catalysts for visiting this year were our friends, Barb and Laurence Stevenson. Barb is a dedicated birding enthusiast. When I mentioned that Judi and I were thinking of visiting the waterfowl festival and wondered if they wanted to join us, Barb's eyes lite up! We made arrangements to pick them up on the following Saturday morning. It was a bright crisp morning when we left Cobourg. We traveled east on County Road 2, through Grafton and Colborne, until we reached Brighton. Judi and I had never been to Presqu'ile Provincial Park, so I followed Laurence and Barb's directions. It was fairly simple and there were quite a number of directional signs to help us. At the Park gates we were greeted by Presqu'ile Waterfowl Festival volunteers. They sold us our $8 car pass and gave us literature about the Park and the Festival. They also told us that there were lots of birds to see! From the Park gates we followed the "DUCK" signs until we came to the Friends of Presqu'ile's Gift Store and Interpretive Centre. It was now time to get out of the warm car and go and look for the "birds"! The Presqu'ile Point Lighthouse…We followed the sign, passed the Lighthouse Gift Shop and Interpretive Centre and headed towards Presqu'ile Point and its Lighthouse. This was to be our first observation area. We were a bit early, so there were not too many people there. The birds hadn't arrived yet, either! There were only three lone Canada Geese floating on the Lake! We retreated to the warmth of the Gift Shop and Interpretive Centre. Inside we were greeted by Friends of Presqu'ile Park volunteer staff. The Gift Shop and Centre had been especially opened for the Presqu'ile Waterfowl Festival. We decided to take a look around. The first thing I noticed was a huge map of the Presqu'ile area. It dominated one wall! Next was the Friends Gift Shop. Barb was inside looking at the interesting Presqu'ile gifts and memorabilia. Beyond the Gift Shop was a separate room. It had been set up with kids' activities. Two volunteers, Jasmine Cote and Adrienne Ockenden, stood waiting for the children and parents to arrive! Back in the main area I discovered a small room that housed the Centre's maritime museum. The room was devoted to the area's nautical history. After we had finished exploring the Centre, we asked one of the volunteers where we should head next. She suggested that we follow the signs to Calf Pasture Point. We took the winding road until we came to the next "duck" sign. We turned right and drove the short distance to the Point's parking area. As we got out of the car, I looked south at the lake and much to my surprise and delight, I saw 3 swans swimming in the Point's bay. I took out my binoculars to take a closer look. As I looked passed the swans, I saw hundreds of waterfowl floating on the bay! For me, the real Presqu'ile Waterfowl Festival had just started! We walked to the enclosed lookout shelter and climbed the steps into it. Here we were greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable Festival volunteer. The windows of the shelter were open and we had a clear view of the bay and a lot more birds. We peered out over the bay with our binoculars, pointing them in the directions suggested by the volunteer. The shear number of birds was staggering! A Bushnell telescope had been set up in the shelter and the volunteer suggested we take a look through it. The higher power of the telescope brought the images of the birds much closer. We all enthusiastically took our turn to become "up close and personal" with our feathered friends! The volunteer shared his knowledge with us about the birds we were witnessing, plus there were a number of informational posters attached to the walls about the birds. We talked with the volunteer for some time and then he suggested we walk down the road to another vantage point. He said the birds could be seen more clearly there and that other volunteers would be on hand to help us. We took his advice. (Click HERE to see video of the waterfowl) Of Ducks, Swans and Geese… We walked down the road to the new vantage point. There
were already several people there. A Festival volunteer had set up his
telescope and was pointing out various birds of interest. This group was
particularly interested in the rare sighting of an Eurasian Widgeon. We
were invited to look through the telescope at this rare sighting! As I
looked over the water, I was amazed at the number and variety of waterfowl
we were seeing! It also amazed me that they all seemed to be living and
thriving in harmony! Perhaps humans could learn a valuable lesson from
the birds at Presqu'ile! We viewed the waterfowl scene before us
for some time and then headed back to the car. While we were at our lookout
area, Judi, without our knowing, had wandered off and found a better lookout.
Better because she was the only one there and was able to take full advantage
of the telescope and the knowledge of the volunteer! While she was there,
she was able to take some great photographs! As we reached our vehicle,
I noticed that more festival visitors had joined the Calf Pasture Point
bird watching group! Several people had set up their own telescopes and
were looking towards the bay at the scene unfolding before them. Once
we had left the Point, we decided to explore one of the beach areas we
had seen coming in. The beach areas were closed to vehicles, so we parked
the car and walk the lane to Beach #2. We were the only ones there, although
there were plenty of fresh footprints. We traversed the streams of water
that had been left by the melting snow and made our way to waters edge!
As I looked around the desolate beach, I imagined a bright sunny summer
day and what it would look like then. It was a happy thought filled with
laughter, volleyball players, swimmers and sandcastles! I was brought
back to the present by the sound of seagulls. They were the only birds
to be seen in the area! We walked back to the car. We had enjoyed the
Presq'ile Waterfowl Festival, but it
was lunch time and Laurence's stomach (mine too) was grumbling. There
was a waterfront restaurant close by, so we drove to it. After a pleasant
lunch, we decided that it was still too early to return home. Laurence
and Barb were new to the area and hadn't visited the County (Prince
Edward County) yet. We left Brighton for the County and at Carrying Place
joined the Loyalist Parkway. We headed south towards Wellington, Bloomfield
and Picton. We even stopped to sightsee and shop along the way! It was
one of those days that you wish would never end. Reality and time, however,
took over and we headed back home! We had had a great day and looked forward
to doing it again! Back To Ontario Festivals

Hey everyone, what is up? I am back with a tale I want to share with you all.
Now many of you remember that dom preformed on stage once wearing a spider man costume. (It could of been more than once, I am not sure). So at the state fair I went to, their was a rock band tour thing there (no dlc so it makes it less epic). So I went and played on stage for a bit then went to check out the rest of the fairgrounds. I walked by this place with a spider man mask when I had the greatest idea ever. I bought the mask and went back to the rock band truck. Went I went on stage before people saw me I put on the Spider Man mask and went to the drum stage. People were like WTF? WHAT IS HE DOING? So then I selected expert and rocked the drums out. People started cheering so they told me to keep on playing. I got 88% on enter sandman drums expert and the announcer guy was like. LETS HAVE IT FOR SPIDERMAN.
Lets just call this event. spider-dom jr.
The downside is, the drum tournement was when weird al was preforming and there was no Hysteria.
Oh yea, and the picture is on the way
Edit: Looks like I got a ton of v-fest videos to watch now.
Also, Bubblegum, the cows have been muuused.

In the immortal words of Yogi Berra, it's d? vu all over again.
Wasn't it just four months ago that the government was racing to save the American International Group, forcing the sale of weak banks and writing huge checks to stabilize the teetering banking system? The worst was over -- or so we were given to believe.
It sure hasn't worked out that way. In November, not long after it was handed $25 billion in new capital, Citigroup was back for more -- another $20 billion in bailout money and a government backstop of more than $300 billion in potential losses. This week, alas, it's Bank of America's turn. It came crawling back because of the huge write-down of its shiny new toy, Merrill Lynch. It got another $20 billion and a backstop against losses of $118 billion in troubled assets. There are rumors that Wells Fargo might also need more capital.
When is it going to end? Because of declining asset values, the original bailout money has largely disappeared. ''It's like putting money in a pothole that keeps getting bigger,'' said Daniel Alpert, the managing partner at Westwood Capital. And it's not over yet. Goldman Sachs says the world banking system has absorbed about $1 trillion in losses -- but there is likely to be another $1.1 trillion yet to go.
The response has got to stop being so haphazard. Think about it: Citigroup is slimming down. Bank of America is bulking up. The government is essentially backing both approaches. It makes no sense.
I started wondering if there is a better approach -- something that doesn't feel like plugging holes in a leaky dike. Perhaps this new idea being discussed in Washington of creating a government bank to buy up toxic assets might do the trick. It turns out I'm not the only one who's been asking this question lately.
''I don't want to have to do any more of these one-offs,'' said Sheila C. Bair, the chairwoman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, in an interview on Friday. ''Nobody does.'' She was referring to the Bank of America deal, which had been completed just days before. But she could just as well have been talking about the Bush administration's entire approach to the financial crisis.
Think back to last September. After the A.I.G. rescue -- which of course followed the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac takeovers, the Merrill Lynch sale to Bank of America and the disastrous Lehman bankruptcy -- Ben S. Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve, and Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. concluded that they needed to find a systemic approach to fixing the huge problems in the banking system. They came up with the $700 billion bailout bill.
Do you remember the original idea for the TARP money? The government was going to use funds from the Troubled Asset Relief Program to buy up bad assets from banks and other institutions, thus taking them off the balance sheets and keeping them from dragging down the institutions. But by the time TARP became law, two things had become clear. The first was that nobody in Washington -- or on Wall Street, for that matter -- had a clear idea of how to value the toxic assets the government was proposing to buy. And second, the banking system had deteriorated so badly that most of that first $350 billion had to be shoveled into the banking system as recapitalizations. In addition, Ms. Bair and others forced the sale of insolvent institutions like Washington Mutual and Wachovia to healthier banks.
That initial recapitalization was necessary. Without that government-financed capital, many more banks would have been insolvent, or would have been hoarding capital, fearing future asset write-downs. But the underlying problem has never gone away. The toxic assets are still on the books. Banks still don't really know what they are worth, so they continue to be written down in piecemeal fashion. And now, with the recession getting worse by the day, other assets, like commercial real estate and credit card loans, are going south as well. ''It's a rolling problem that gets worse as conditions worsen,'' the banking consultant Bert Ely said.
(A quick reminder for readers who wonder why the banks shouldn't be allowed to go bankrupt, like any other company that made the kinds of mistakes banks made. The answer is that the banking system is the engine of the economy; if banks stop functioning, economic activity will grind to a halt. Indeed, at least some of the pain we are going through now is the result of the banking system's not functioning properly.)
The key point here is that any systemic solution has to deal with the bad assets, once and for all. They need to be properly valued and they need to be isolated. ''How do you know how big the hole is on the balance sheet of Citi until you have a decent valuation?'' asks the Princeton economist Alan Blinder. That is the primary reason the banking system can't attract private capital and has to rely on the government -- no prospective investor has any idea how deep the hole is. That will only start to become clear when these assets are either written down to zero (unlikely) or start trading again.

The Matador's BCS National Championship Favorites
What do these bowl games have in common: Florida State 42 – Wisconsin 13, Missouri 30 – Northwestern 23, Kansas 42 – Minnesota 21, Georgia 24 – Michigan State 12, USC 38 – PSU 24, Texas 24 – Ohio State 21? Thats right, they all feature Big 10 football teams losing in them. Just one of the Big Ten's best and brightest has won their bowl game and that comes from the mighty Iowa who trounced a woefully overmatched South Carolina squad, 31-10. Pollsters thought so much of Iowa that they haven't been ranked all season long.
So after a thrilling finish at the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, where the hopes and dreams of all in the Buckeye nation are driven and crushed painfully into the ground yet again, like any good Ohio sports fan's dreams should be, that makes the mighty Big Ten conference 1 for 7 in bowl games. 7 bowl games played and this conference can only muster one win, and that game could have been most Big 10 teams homecoming game the way South Carolina played its last 3 games this year.
As down in the dumps as people say the ACC and Pac-10 are in football these days, even they as conferences put up more of a fight than the pantywaists in the Big 10. Four bowl wins for the ACC and the Pac-10 went a perfect 5 for 5 in their bowl games.
So much for the Big Ten being the midwest powerhouse…more like the midwest pussycats.

The laughs never stop in Watts. Only if Ricky Baker could have joined in the fun. The least the school could do is invite Doughboy so he doesn't feel left out. Unfortunately Will Ferrell's funnier than Ice Cube.
Pete Carroll and Will Ferrell are recycling practical jokes. They're going back to people falling from great heights in front of the team. In 2005, LenDale White faked falling off a building and reading. They must have tried nothing because they're fresh out of ideas.
Offensive line coach Pat Ruel began yelling at a man atop a mechanical lift used for filming practice. The man fell from the lift, on the street outside a fence that surrounds Howard Jones Field, and landed on a cushion out of view of those attending practice.A few seconds later, Ferrell [who wore a mask, half an Ironman costume and a Speedo-style swimsuit as Captain Compete] burst through the gate carrying the unhurt man.
As Ferrell addressed players, most of whom were laughing, another man emerged from behind the end zone engulfed in flames. After the flames were put out, Ferrell doused the man with water.
What pranks do you think Rick Neuheisel is pulling in Westwood Village? We're guessing forcing UCLA players to draft potential brackets for the 2009 NCAA Basketball Tournament or interviewing for other jobs while saying he's not.
USC recruit Maurice Simmons takes those words to heart. Too bad he didn't realize the bitches and money were at USC and not on some street in (Where you from, fool?) Compton.
Simmons and a codefendant were found guilty of felony robbery, assault with a firearm and a misdemeanor for allowing someone to have a gun in his car. The two jacked a man on a Compton street. Simmons didn't hold the gun but it was found in his car along with the victim's possessions.
The linebacker recruit hasn't been admitted yet and now it looks as though he's got no chance in hell. Pete Carroll should look at Simmons as an opportunity to stay close to #1 Georgia. The more delinquents on a college football team, the better it does. It's been scientifically proven by the American Academy of Sciences, RAND, CERN, Cal Tech, MIT, SAIC and your moms. It also helps if one of your program's biggest backers is a rapper. See Miami. Doo Doo Brown!! (Maybe NSFW, uncensored version – Turn volume down)
If Redskins fans including Chimp Rage were pissed the Skins drafted Fred Davis (TE-USC), imagine how Chris Cooley felt. Actually don't bother, let him tell you in his increasingly money blog, Outside Football.
I think no more be said in the question. I was surprised as anyone that the Redskins drafted a tight end this year. We saw Fred Davis as a first round player that had fallen way down into the second round. The Redskins felt like it was way to much value to pass on. As a player I feel like you can never discount having the best 11 guys on the field, so if two tight ends makes up the best 11 guys I'm all for it. I will do everything I can to help Fred become the best football player for the Redskins and I think he will do a great job. All that being said, I feel like the next five years should be Pro Bowl years for me and I would be extremely surprised if my production on the field goes down at all.
No wonder Cooley isn't worried. He's already got a master plan to make sure Davis even has trouble getting to practice.
Team security was sent to find Davis after he didn't show up for practice on Sunday for the final day of minicamp. It turns out he slept through practice. Very crafty, Mr. Cooley. I'm guessing chloroform or roofies. Either those or just telling him he'd wake him up on time.
**Damn. Unsilent beat us to the punch over at Deadspin. You win this time…by a mile.

Nestled in the stunning Baie des Anges, Nice has been one of the top attractions on the Riviera for centuries now. But it does not rest on its well-deserved laurels and remains also one of the most vibrant cities in France. Therefore, when Bastille Day, the French national holiday, comes around this year, Nice will go all out again with the traditional military parade first, and then unbridled fun with no fewer than four parties simultaneously happening in four different locations along the famous Promenade des Anglais from 9:00 pm to 12:30 am.
The four themes could not be more different and still unmistakably reflect quintessential facets of French culture: Riri Biagini will perform at the Kiosque à musique and delight the more traditional crowd. DJ Denis will entertain electronic music fans at the corner of avenue des phocéens and quai des Etats-Unis. Azur Big Band will jazz and swing at the corner of rue du Congrès et of the Palais de la Méditerranée. Last, but not least, French pop music will headline the festivities at rue Cronstadt and the world-famous Negresco hotel.
Nice, France Beaches
But no matter how much partying is done, Bastille Day in Nice would not be complete without the traditional fireworks from the water at 10:00 pm, right in front of the Casino Ruhl. This year, they will be inspired by "the 40th anniversary of man's landing on the moon", and we are promised a unique 20-minute creation that will revolve about the concept of space.
Packing yet? Then all you need to do is check out a few Nice vacation rentals to find the perfect one and you will be on your way to a fabulous experience before you know it.
To live the life of a real Niçois, you cannot do better than temporarily settling down in our spacious, fully furnished 1-bedroom apartment – Nice Old Town – PR 798, from where you will be able to explore the popular Old Town and beyond.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The only questions Tiger Woods fielded before his next tournament came from his fans.
Instead of a news conference before this weeks Wells Fargo Championship, Woods answered 19 questions Monday in a 15-minute video posted on his website. The questions were submitted through Facebook and Twitter.
The timing of the decision was peculiar. Woods is coming off his worst performance ever at the Masters, a tie for 40th in which he finished 15 shots behind and was roundly criticized for kicking his 9-iron in disgust after a poor tee shot on the par-3 16th hole in the second round.
Woods typically speaks to the media before every tournament. This time, he will not speak to reporters until his first round Thursday at Quail Hollow.
His agent, Mark Steinberg, did not immediately return a phone call from The Associated Press. He earlier told the Charlotte Observer that Woods trading the traditional media for social media was not in response to the criticism he received at the Masters.
The media will continue to have access to him, Steinberg said. This isnt anything more than a couple of times a year to interact with the fans. They deserve that. This isnt intended to make a statement.
Fans were told that he would answer questions about his next two tournaments – Quail Hollow and The Players Championship – although Woods took the question about how his performance changed from Bay Hill and Augusta. Another question was what he had been working on with swing coach Sean Foley since the Masters.
At the Masters, I was kind of struggling with my ball-striking a little bit, he said. Sean and I fixed it. It had to do with posture. My setup wasnt quite right, as well as my takeaway. I just needed to do hundreds of reps. Im getting dialed in.
This is believed to be the first time he has ever skipped his media obligations before the tournament.

A newsmaker you should know: 'Hatched' many programs over three decades
November 29, 2012 9:45 AMFor the past 30 years, the Rev. Marion "Marnie" Silbert has served as assistant pastor of Newlonsburg Presbyterian Church in Murrysville, making her the longest serving pastor in the church's 135-year history.
Along the way she has been instrumental in forming a vacation Bible school, art camp, lay ministry and program for mothers of preschoolers.
To honor her achievements, the church hosted a worship service and dinner in her honor Oct.28. During the service Rev. Silbert reaffirmed her ordination vows.
Rev. Silbert was ordained at the Sewickley Presbyterian Church on Nov. 14, 1982, and became assistant pastor at Newlonsburg on Nov. 28 that same year.
"Over the years, I've served with three [heads of staff, or pastors,] and two interim heads of staff, and they all had very different personalities," she said.
One of her first major accomplishments was the formation in 1983 of Trekkers, a vacation Bible school for sixth- and seventh-graders that begins each day with worship followed by an adventure trek that's connected to the Bible story of the day.
She also inaugurated the Stephen Ministry, a system for training lay people to provide one-on-one Christian care to people hurting from divorce or separation from loved ones. She also added the program Children and Worship, a way of providing young children between the ages of 4 and 8 with a worship service using a Montessori-based philosophy.
She mentored six members of the congregation, five women -- Dana Gold, Terry Hanna, Pat Frick, Norma Murphy and Norie Erickson -- along with Stacey Steck, who went on to become Presbyterian ministers.
To help stay-at-home mothers of preschoolers by providing a place where they can find friendship, community, resources and support, she introduced Mothers of Preschoolers -- called MOPS -- at the church.
Art Camp, another of her innovations, is a weeklong summer program for older elementary students.
Last year, students created a mural based on Claude Monet's "Water Lilies," which was exhibited at the church for a month.
Her latest project, the Music Academy, got its start when a number of music teachers in the area had no central place to teach. The academy now holds lessons in the Sunday school classrooms and has grown to nine teachers and more than 100 students..
"My mind is always thinking of the next thing to hatch, but there's nothing on the horizon at the moment," Rev. Silbert said. "However, I always have my ear to the ground to see what might be beneficial to the congregation and the community."
Once a week, she leads the 700-member congregation's worship service and preaches once a month.
She's also served the church on the regional level as member and chair of the Committee for the Preparation for the Ministry.
On the national level, she's graded exams given to ministerial candidates.
In January, she's going to serve on the general council of the Presbytery, an elected position that coordinates the mission of the presbytery on behalf of the entire body. She's also a member of the staff support task force, a position she will carry over into 2013.
"I continue to enjoy my ministry at Newlonsburg because of the transient nature of the congregation, which creates a continual freshness to my work," she said. "Despite the warts and bumps, I feel the congregation really seeks to be the Church of Jesus Christ, and it's a privilege to minister to them."
Newlonsburg member Suzanne Billings has worked with Rev. Silbert on many projects.
"She has a way of presenting the Word in new and thought provoking ways, whether it be a sermon, an adult education bible study, an eighth-grade confirmation class, or a kindergarten Sunday school lesson.
"She encourages church members to grow in their faith and become active participants in the life of the church.
"We have all been blessed by her faithful, dedicated ministry and look forward to more."

Barangaroo review must address overdevelopment
A review of the controversial Barangaroo development must be granted the power to act on community concerns about overdevelopment of the harbour foreshore, Australians for Sustainable Development (AfSD) said today.
The NSW Government has announced Terms of Reference for the review but AfSD raised concerns about the ability of the independent chairs to recommend solutions.
AfSD called on the Planning Minister to clarify his commitment to act on controversial elements of the proposed development.
"The community welcomes the appointment of independent chairs to conduct the review, however more information is needed about whether they have the power to recommend changes to controversial issues," said AfSD spokesperson and Deputy Lord Mayor of the City of Sydney Clr Marcelle Hoff.
The alliance of community groups, local councils and architects is concerned that the Terms of Reference only allow for an examination into the decision making process of the former Labor government.
"We will now seek clarification from the Planning Minister on whether he will allow the concerns of the community to be acted on," Clr Hoff said.
AfSD also raised the alarm about planned excavation works due to begin at the Barangaroo site next month.
"Beginning work on a development in the middle of its review period doesn't create confidence that the review is genuine," Clr Hoff said.
AfSD called on the government to direct the Barangaroo Delivery Authority (BDA) to halt its plan to begin excavation works at the north end of the site for the headland park on the harbour.
"AfSD has agreed to discontinue its court action as a sign of good faith to the review. It is reasonable that the government's appointed authority at Barangaroo do the same," said Clr Hoff.
Clr Hoff said community concerns about Barangaroo include the proposed overdevelopment of Sydney Harbour foreshore, loss of a cruise ship terminal from the CBD, and a hotel built out into the harbour, effectively subdividing Sydney Harbour.

Barangaroo mediation talks begin today after NSW parliamentary debate
Overdevelopment of the foreshore of Sydney Harbour, a 'sea grab' by Lend Lease to build a hotel in the harbor and the loss of an important shipping port in Sydney's CBD will be the focus of mediation talks this morning over the controversial Barangaroo site.
Australians for Sustainable Development will meet with Planning Minister Brad Hazzard, the Barangaroo Delivery Authority and Lend Lease this morning for mediation talks, following a parliamentary debate last night which resulted in an important step toward addressing community concerns.
On the floor of parliament last night, the Planning Minister made a welcome commitment to ensure remediation of contamination at Barangaroo will comply with environmental guidelines that apply to all other developments in NSW.
Community groups remain concerned about the proposed overdevelopment of Sydney Harbour foreshore, retention and location of the cruise ship terminal, plans for the headland park, and the hotel in the water with its subdivision of the harbor. These will be the key points discussed in mediation talks this morning.
"We welcome the announcement that contamination at Barangaroo will now be remediated in accordance with NSW environmental guidelines, as it should be," said Australians for Sustainable Development spokesperson and City of Sydney Deputy Lord Mayor, Clr Marcelle Hoff.
"Todays mediation talks are a good first step and we remain optimistic. It is the interests of all parties to find agreed solutions to the planning issues plaguing this development.
"There are a number of other steps we need to go through including the next court case regarding the extent of modifications made to the original design, and we should not forget that the Government has stated publically that it is willing to review this project," said Clr Hoff.
There are now 12,000 people who have signed petitions asking for a government commitment to a Special Commission of Inquiry into Barangaroo.
"The parliamentary debate last night was disappointing for those 12,000 NSW residents because in essence what we heard was a watered-down series of assurances that Lend Lease can continue business as usual.
"AfSD will continue to collect signatures on petitions because every action brings us one step closer to a Special Commission of Inquiry into Barangaroo," said Clr Hoff.
"This development is too important for Sydney's economic and social future to just rush it through," said Clr Hoff.
The next AfSD court action is scheduled to commence on Monday 16 May.

Debate on Barangaroo in NSW Parliament on Wednesday 11 May
The NSW Parliament debate on Barangaroo will take place at 6pm on Wednesday 11 May.
This is a direct result of the 11,295 signatures on petitions that were collected by Australians for Sustainable Development and given to Member for Sydney Clover Moore to table in parliament last week.
The Premier has already indicated to media that Barangaroo is going to be 'reviewed' before the appointment of a new chair to replace Paul Keating.
"The O'Farrell Government will use the resignation to review some of the issues plaguing the project before appointing a replacement chairman.
Mr O'Farrell said he was particularly concerned with tendering, which had included parts of the harbour within the plan".
Members of the public are welcome to attend the public debate on Wednesday night at NSW Parliament.
10,000-strong 'people's petition' to trigger first urgent debate of new parliament
Barry O'Farrell's pre-election promise to debate a 'people's petition' will be put to the test during the first question time of the new parliament today.
Australians for Sustainable Development (AfSD) is the first group to gather more than 10 000 signatures for a 'people's petition' which calls for a Commission of Inquiry into Barangaroo.
The official hand over of petitions took place outside NSW Parliament this morning with the Member for Sydney Clover Moore accepting them from Green Bans legend and President of AfSD Dr Jack Mundey.
"An urgency motion and parliamentary debate will bring a Commission of Inquiry into Barangaroo one step closer," said Dr Mundey.
"It will also highlight the opportunity the new NSW Government has to distance itself from the toxic legacy of decisions and mistakes made by NSW Labor over the development."
AfSD spokesperson and City of Sydney Deputy Lord Mayor Marcelle Hoff said "AfSD does not wish to see the toxic legacy of the previous Labor government's and Lend Lease's plans for Barangaroo carry on and stick to the new O'Farrell Government.
"AfSD looks forward to being able to work with the Premier and his new government to ensure Sydney gets the Barangaroo it deserves, not one we regret.
"The alliance has received a great deal of support from NSW residents who are concerned about the future of Barangaroo and will continue to collect petitions," says Clr Hoff.
Clr Moore will table the petitions once parliament resumes normal business this afternoon.
Concerned Sydney residents and AfSD wish to see a Commission of Inquiry address proposed overdevelopment of Sydney Harbour foreshore, contamination on site and also the removal of an essential shipping port from the CBD.

Community call for Barangaroo inquiry the first test of Premier's promise of debate in parliament
Community support for a Commission of Inquiry into the proposed development at Barangaroo is to be the first test of the Premier's pre-election promise of a parliamentary debate with 10,000 petition signatures now secured.
Residents surrounding Sydney Harbour have rallied to voice their concern about toxic contamination, overdevelopment, and the loss of a major shipping port; and hope to trigger an urgency motion in the first sitting of the new parliament this week.
The petition was organised by Australians for Sustainable Development (AfSD), a coalition of community, local government and professional groups alarmed by the previous Labor government's actions which ignored community concern about Lend Lease's plans for Barangaroo.
AfSD spokesperson and City of Sydney deputy Lord Mayor Marcelle Hoff said community concern over Barangaroo is widespread and the short time left before key decisions are made meant it was important for AfSD to be the first group to present the necessary 10,000 signatures.
"There is now an urgency to put a halt on Lend Lease's current plans for Barangaroo and ensure that Sydney gets an iconic development that we can all be proud of instead," said Ms Hoff.
Ms Hoff said an urgency motion and debate on Barangaroo in state parliament brings a Commission of Inquiry one step closer and will help to inform the new NSW Government about the opportunity it now has to distance itself from the mistakes of the previous Labor government over Barangaroo.
"AfSD does not wish to see the toxic legacy of the previous Labor government's and Lend Lease's plans for Barangaroo carry on and stick to the new O'Farrell Government.
"That is why pushing pause now on the proposed development is so important; so that a Commission of Inquiry can explore the mistakes made, ensure the concerns of the community are heard and deliver a Barangaroo we can all be proud of."
Ms Hoff said AfSD has been overwhelmed by the level of concern and interest from residents living not just on Sydney Harbour but across NSW and Australia, about Lend Lease's plans for Barangaroo.
"Once people realised the extent of the problems of overdevelopment of the harbour foreshore, the level of toxic contamination at the site and also the effects of losing a major shipping port in the CBD, they rushed to sign the petition," Ms Hoff said.
"AfSD looks forward to being able to work with the Premier and his new government to ensure Sydney gets the Barangaroo it deserves, not one we regret."

From The Atlantic
DAVID A. GRAHAM – David Graham is an associate editor at The Atlantic, where he writes and edits for the Politics Channel. He previously reported for Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, and The National.
- Mitt Romney says citizens who don't pay income tax will never vote for him. But eight of the top 10 states with the highest number of nonpayers are red states.
The political world is in a tizzy over hidden-camera footage of Mitt Romney at a fundraising event. Here's the money quote — literally – from the Mother Jones scoop:
There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what ….These are people who pay no income tax.
The horserace implications of this statement are what the chattering class is chattering about. Unfortunately, they're also unknowable at this point. On the one hand, it's always a bad idea to disparage voters (see: Obama, Barack and clinging to guns and religion), and the soundbite helps to cement the idea that Romney is out of touch with the average American — clearly, he's not trying to connect with nearly half of them! On the other hand, Romney is disparaging folks whose votes he's already written off.So let's set that speculation aside and look at who the people are who actually pay no income tax. Romney's statements are a little unclear, but it appears that the 47 percent figure represents all of those who pay no income tax, rather than the Democratic base. His problem is that those people are disproportionately in red states – that is, states that tend to vote Republican:
One important note about these numbers: This measures only those Americans who filed for taxes with no liability. Millions more didn't even file; it's those millions, added to the estimated 52 million here, who combine to make that 47 percent.
It's important to remember that just because people aren't paying income tax doesn't mean they're not paying taxes — they pay federal payroll taxes and state and local sales taxes, for example. One those taxes are factored in, the tax regime is basically flat. And the reason that most income tax nonpayers don't pay is they simply don't make enough income to qualify to pay. As one might expect, the map of states with the highest poverty levels resembles this map fairly closely. Many of them are also seniors, a highly contested voting bloc. Just more than 10 percent of households pay no income tax because they're retired. They might also be voters in places like Florida who are already jumpy about the changes to Medicare and Medicaid that the Romney-Ryan ticket has proposed — although they would be mostly unaffected by those reforms.
So Romney appears to be wrong about these voters. But if calling for a less progressive taxation system was enough to alienate poor voters in the Deep South, the Republican Party would have already lost its stronghold there.
