Police name man killed in car crash near Winchester
10:39am Monday 9th September 2013 in News
POLICE have named a 40-year-old man who was killed when his 4x4 collided with a lorry near Winchester on Thursday.
It was rush hour when Alexander Ridge, who was driving a silver Dodge, crashed on the A303/A30 junction at Bullington Cross.
Mr Ridge, of Union Street, Farnborough, was cut free from the wreckage by firefighters but died at the scene just before 9am.
Today his family paid tribute to him in a statement.
"Alex was a wonderful son, husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle. He had an amazing ability to see the best in everyone and always tried to help anyone in need," they said.
The lorry driver, a 42-year-old man from the West Midlands, was uninjured but was described by police as "very shocked."
On Friday (September 6) officers made a fresh appeal for the driver of the car directly behind Mr Ridge's to come forward.
Sergeant Darren Brown, leading the investigation, said: "We believe that the driver of this car could have seen the crash happen and may therefore be a really important witness to help us establish the facts. We would urge that driver to please call us as soon as possible as the information they provide could prove vital to us."
The accident caused severe traffic disruption with the A303 closed at the Bullington Cross interchange in both directions until 4pm.
Adding to the congestion was the closure of the A34 northbound lane, which remained shut on Thursday morning, the result of late finishing overnight road works.

I know this sounds like a long shot, but I'm pretty desperate. I will be eloping in a few months, and my dress no longer fits. If I don't wear a bra, it'll zip up all the way, but it's tight enough that there are ridges in the fabric! The dress is a very fluid style, and it's only the top that's tight. Because it's an unstructured sheath, a corset back would look out of place. The main problem seems to be that I've put on a bit of weight in my torso, beyond the 32DD/34D breasts. Here's where it gets tricky. I have been sick for the past six months, and unable to stand for long periods. Working out is absolutely out of the question. My fiance has been my rock, handling all of the cooking and the cleaning, because even microwaving leftovers is an extreme exertion. This has absolutely drained our finances.... I am basically unable to work, and we've barely made ends meet. I might be able to do some sort of workout for my arms, so long as I don't have to be standing, and don't have to flex my midsection(The source of the pain). It's one more thing going wrong in a long pile of them, and likely won't be going away soon, since I can't afford medical treatment. Getting eloped SOON is important to us, to say that we'll be there for each other through this, and I want to wear the dress he sacrificed so much to get. Literally the first thing he did, when he finally was able to find a job, was to buy the dress for me. We don't have any kind of a budget to buy a new dress, or get it altered. I can do basic alterations myself, but I'm concerned that this might be beyond my skill, and I don't want to risk ruining it. It is a nontraditional gown, and I don't think I can find fabric to match it, for paneling. (Antique gold chiffon). The best solution I can see would be to replace the zipper with a shorter zipper, and reshape the back into a V shape angling down towards the shorter zipper. We have NO wedding budget, and won't be doing any thing else to celebrate eloping... Me wearing something new was the one luxury we wanted(Even then, my gown cost less than a bridesmaids dress, thanks to some careful shopping). Everything would be perfect, if I hadn't gotten sick, and had been able to keep up even a minimal activity level! I'd love any suggestions anyone has for workouts to tone my arms and chest, or for ways to alter the gown to allow for my changing shape. Is there a such thing as Spanx for up top, that won't show creases poking through the clingy fabric?

Sheehan's syndrome
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/sheehans-syndrome/DS00889
Pituitary gland and hypothalamus |
Sheehan's syndrome is a condition that affects women who experience life-threatening blood loss during or after childbirth. Severe blood loss deprives your body of oxygen and can seriously damage vital tissues and organs. Sheehan's syndrome damages the pituitary gland — a small gland at the base of your brain. The result is the permanent underproduction of essential pituitary hormones (hypopituitarism).
Also called postpartum hypopituitarism, Sheehan's syndrome is rare in industrialized nations. But it's still a major threat to women in developing countries.
For some women, Sheehan's syndrome seems to cause few, if any, symptoms. For others, Sheehan's syndrome can lead to an adrenal crisis — a life-threatening shortage of the hormone cortisol. Treatment of Sheehan's syndrome involves hormone replacement therapy.
In most cases, the signs and symptoms of Sheehan's syndrome appear slowly, after a period of months or even years. But sometimes — such as in a breast-feeding mother — problems may appear right away.
Signs and symptoms of Sheehan's syndrome are those of deficiencies of the various hormones the pituitary gland controls: thyroid, adrenal, breast milk production and menstrual function. Signs and symptoms include:
- Slowed mental function, weight gain and difficulty staying warm, as a result of an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism)
- Difficulty breast-feeding or an inability to breast-feed
- No menstrual periods (amenorrhea) or infrequent menstruation (oligomenorrhea)
- Loss of pubic or underarm hair
- Low blood pressure
- Fatigue
- Weight loss
For many women, the symptoms of Sheehan's syndrome are nonspecific and often attributed to other things. Fatigue, for instance, goes hand in hand with being a new mother. You might not realize that you have Sheehan's syndrome until you need treatment for thyroid or adrenal insufficiency.
It's also possible to remain relatively symptom-free with Sheehan's syndrome. Some women unknowingly live for years with pituitary insufficiency, then go into adrenal crisis triggered by extreme physical stressors, such as severe infection or surgery.
Pituitary gland and hypothalamus |
Although many problems can lead to low pituitary function, Sheehan's syndrome is caused by severe blood loss during or after childbirth. Blood loss at that time can be particularly damaging to the pituitary gland, destroying hormone-producing tissue so that the gland can't function normally.
Experts aren't sure why this is the case. One theory is that since the pituitary gland enlarges during pregnancy, it's more prone to damage. The severe drop in blood pressure (hypotension) that occurs during hemorrhage also could damage the pituitary.
Pituitary hormones regulate the rest of your endocrine system, signaling other glands to increase or decrease production of the hormones that control metabolism, fertility, wound healing and many other vital processes. A lack of any of these hormones can cause problems throughout your body — although signs and symptoms may develop so gradually that they escape notice.
Hormones that your pituitary secretes include:
- Growth hormone (GH). This hormone controls bone and tissue growth and maintains the appropriate balance of muscle and fat tissue.
- Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH). By regulating urine production, this hormone manages water balance in your body. A deficiency of ADH results in excess urination and thirst, a condition called diabetes insipidus.
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). This hormone stimulates your thyroid gland to produce key hormones that regulate your metabolism. Shortage of TSH results in an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism).
- Luteinizing hormone (LH). In men, LH regulates testosterone production. In women, it fosters production of estrogen.
- Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Working in tandem with LH, FSH helps stimulate sperm production in men, and egg development and ovulation in women.
- Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). This hormone stimulates your adrenal glands to produce cortisol and other hormones. Cortisol helps your body deal with stress and influences many body functions, including blood pressure, heart function and your immune system. A low level of adrenal hormones caused by pituitary damage is called secondary adrenal insufficiency.
- Prolactin. This hormone regulates the development of female breasts, as well as the production of breast milk.
Risk factors
Any condition that increases your likelihood of severe blood loss during childbirth, such as being pregnant with multiples or having an abnormality of the placenta, may increase your risk of Sheehan's syndrome.
Hemorrhage is a rare childbirth complication, however, and Sheehan's syndrome is even more uncommon. Both risks are greatly reduced with proper care and monitoring during labor and delivery.
Because pituitary hormones control so many aspects of your metabolism, Sheehan's syndrome can cause a number of problems, including:
- Adrenal crisis, a serious condition in which your adrenal glands produce too little of the hormone cortisol
- Low blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Unintended weight loss
- Menstrual irregularities
Adrenal crisis: Life-threatening situation
The most serious complication is adrenal crisis, a sudden, life-threatening state that can lead to extremely low blood pressure, shock, coma and death.
Adrenal crisis usually occurs when your body is under marked stress — such as during surgery or a serious illness — and your adrenal glands produce too little cortisol, a powerful stress hormone.
Because of the potentially serious consequences of adrenal insufficiency, your doctor is likely to recommend that you wear a medical alert bracelet.
Preparing for your appointment
If your primary care doctor suspects Sheehan's syndrome, you'll likely be referred to an endocrinologist, a doctor who specializes in metabolic disorders. To help prepare for your appointment:
- Be aware of any pre-appointment restrictions. When you make your appointment, be sure to ask if there's anything you need to do to prepare for common diagnostic tests.
- Write down all symptoms and changes you're experiencing, even if they seem unrelated to each other.
- Write down key personal information, including any recent life changes or other stressors.
- Make a list of your key medical information, including recent surgical procedures, the names of all medications you're taking and any other conditions for which you've been treated.
- Take a family member or friend, if possible. Sometimes it can be difficult to soak up all the information. Someone who accompanies you may remember something that you missed or forgot.
- Write down questions to ask your doctor.
Preparing a list of questions for your doctor will help you make the most of your time together. For Sheehan's syndrome, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
- What is likely causing my symptoms or condition?
- Other than the most likely cause, what are other possible causes for my symptoms or condition?
- What kinds of tests do I need?
- Is my condition likely temporary or chronic?
- Will I be able to have another child?
- What is the best course of action?
- What are the alternatives to the primary approach you're suggesting?
- I have other health conditions. How can I best manage them together?
- Are there restrictions I need to follow?
- Should I see a specialist?
- Is there a generic alternative to the medicine you're prescribing?
- Are there any brochures or other printed material that I can take home with me? What websites do you recommend?
Don't hesitate to ask your doctor any other questions you have.
What to expect from your doctor
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions, including:
- Did you bleed heavily after your delivery?
- Did you have any other complications during childbirth?
- When did you begin experiencing symptoms?
- Have your symptoms been continuous or occasional?
- How severe are your symptoms?
- What, if anything, seems to improve your symptoms?
- What, if anything, appears to worsen your symptoms?
Tests and diagnosis
Diagnosis of Sheehan's syndrome can be difficult. Your doctor may base the diagnosis in part on your medical history, so it's important to mention any childbirth complications you may have had, no matter how long ago you gave birth. Also, be sure to tell your doctor if you didn't produce breast milk or you failed to start menstruating after delivery — two key signs of Sheehan's syndrome.
If your history and signs and symptoms suggest pituitary insufficiency, you'll have blood tests to check your pituitary hormone levels. You may need specialized stimulation testing of the pituitary hormones, which typically is done after consulting an endocrinologist.
You may also need imaging tests, such as magnetic resonance imaging or computerized tomography, to check the size of your pituitary and to look for other possible reasons for your symptoms, such as a pituitary tumor.
Treatments and drugs
Treatment for Sheehan's syndrome is lifelong hormone replacement therapy. Your doctor may recommend one or more of the following medications:
- Corticosteroids. These drugs, such as hydrocortisone or prednisone, replace the adrenal hormones that aren't being produced because of an adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) deficiency. You'll need to adjust your medication if you become seriously ill or experience major physical stress. During these times, your body would ordinarily produce extra cortisol — a stress hormone. The same kind of dosage fine-tuning may be necessary when you have the flu, diarrhea or vomiting, or have surgery or dental procedures. Adjustments in dosage may also be necessary during pregnancy or with marked weight gain or weight loss. It's important that your doctor closely monitor you to ensure the correct dose. Avoiding doses higher than you need will eliminate the side effects associated with high doses of corticosteroids.
- Levothyroxine (Levoxyl, Synthroid, others). This medication boosts deficient thyroid hormone levels caused by low or deficient thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) production. Levothyroxine causes virtually no side effects when used in the appropriate dose, and it's relatively inexpensive. If you change brands, let your doctor know to ensure you're still receiving the right dosage. Also, don't skip doses or stop taking the drug because you're feeling better. If you do, signs and symptoms will gradually return.
- Estrogen. This may include estrogen alone if you've had your uterus removed (hysterectomy) or a combination of estrogen and progesterone if you still have your uterus. Estrogen replacement can be administered with either pills or patches. Future pregnancies may be possible with preparations containing luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), also called gonadotropins. These can be administered by injection to stimulate ovulation. Estrogen with progesterone has been linked to increased risks of heart disease, stroke and breast cancer. Estrogen alone has been linked to stroke, blood clots in the legs and abnormalities on mammograms.
- Growth hormone. Some studies have shown that replacing growth hormone in women with Sheehan's syndrome — as well as in people with other forms of hypopituitarism — can help normalize the body's muscle-to-fat ratio, lower cholesterol levels and improve overall quality of life. Side effects may include joint stiffness and fluid retention.
Your endocrinologist is likely to test your blood regularly to make sure that you're getting adequate — but not excessive — amounts of any hormones that you take. Generally, hormone levels are checked every few weeks or months at the beginning of treatment and then once a year thereafter.

This one is actually looking pretty good IRL, I don't think the picture does it justice, but its too dark outside for me to get good lighting for a better picture. Il get a better picture up As soon as I can.
Remember : My host is pretty bad and getting far more traffic than its meant to, so if the file doesn't download, try again after an hour or so or the next day.
Here she is...
There are two seperate files, one for the model and one for the base. I WILL be releasing a Dark Phoenix variant (and maybe a white one too if i have time Telmo)
Download Jean model here
The model is pretty basic. Slots together much the same way as Emma and Psylocke.
The Phoenix Rapture Stand
Download Stand model here
Yeah... this ones a bit complicated. Ive put letters and diagrams to help with putting it together. The letters signify which piece joins with which. It DOES not signify any order to put them together. If you need clearer instructions let me know.
On to questions / Requests....
Daredevil - Yep he'l get here eventually. Would be a pretty easy remodel using a Stark head, and basic Madrox body I guess so might get him down over the next few months.
Storm - I will get to her eventually, but I've been putting her off because I've got no idea what costume to use. Her current one is pretty horrific. tempted to go for her Worlds Apart Costume.
On a side note, the Anonymous person who couldnt get Hulk working - Did the file ever download ok?
Any comments welcome

These are amazing!!!! This is what i am doing with my kids for X-Mas break. Thank you sooooo much. Do you take requests? May I humbly request a Namor or Magneto? They are both heroes (this month anyway!)I don't know how obscure you get but Black Bolt is another. It looks like you've got your hands full with requests, but I thought I'd throw those out there!

Well Phoenix ended up looking awesome, but I knew you'd find a way to make her look like it.
To remake her into Dark Phoenix, maybe just a new wilder hair piece?
And for White Phoenix maybe arms down, and keep the rest just just in white a gold.
Now that you did Jean/Phoenix head, you also have Madelyne Pryor's, after all Madelyne is Jean's clone)
You really have a great eye for these.
As for Storm, her white costume became a classic very fast, and her probably her best known (X-Men #1 - 2nd Series), but her original one, from her first apperance wasn't bad either (Giant Size X-Men #1)
@J Lynn - Magneto would be sweet. And the whole Inhuman Royal Family too.
Keep up the great work. - 5 December 2009 14:00

I normally start just by putting the folds in everything. Then I start with the back, stick both sides on, then stick the front on after.
If theres much demand, the next model I put up I could try and do a walkthrough of my putting it together if people want?
"I also cant get Jean's belt on.plz help"
Wrap the belt round her waist, then stick the little tab underneath the knot/bow on the otherside. Then you can move it about till you think it looks right.
Thanks a load for all of the comments everyone :)
I'm really glad your all enjoying them and enjoying making them.
I won't say who the next model will be as I tend to work on a few at a time so one might be finished earlier than others if I get more into it at the time. It seems to be taking me about a month to make each one now (its hard finding the time to get more done)
thanks again

Storm in her World's Apart/Messiah Complex/Black Panther outfit would probably be best. Please not the Astonishing outfit; I agree it's awful. Thank you so much! Can't wait for Storm!!!
- 11 December 2009 13:44
I would like if you could make storm in the black costume
- 12 December 2009 12:18
I too like the black costume
- 12 December 2009 12:19
the black costume is awsome
- 12 December 2009 12:20
you should go with the black costume
- 12 December 2009 12:21
the black costume ROCK'S
- 13 December 2009 06:06

Storm's costume was supposed to be shinny black, but because the cartoon put her in the exact same costume, but in white, in the comics, her costume also looked white instead of shinny black. But the Toy Biz Marvel Legends Storm figures was made in Black, but later on the re-released the figure with the same sculpt, but with a white costume, so you can make her in black or white, or if it's just a question of inverting the colors (to negative), you can make her in one color, then invert it and you'll have the same figure both in white and black costumes, so you could call one the Regular and the other the Variant. - 19 December 2009 07:32
Telmo is right, you can make the two costumes.
And you can make the two hair models, the long and the mohican hair. - 20 December 2009 13:02
I dont understand a word he said
- 20 December 2009 15:36
As a christmas present or what ever holiday people celebrate, as a gift, MAKE STORM ALREADY. Not trying to be rud though.☺☻
- 22 December 2009 19:14
- Xavier said...
lol @ all the Storm requests a minute apart, nice try ;)
As she's getting requested a lot anyway she is high on my priorites. hopefully I'l be able to get her done over the next month or two.
Non-Storm related news : I've just got another model finished, (heres a clue, in the past he's been called "The White Devil".)
I won't have the oppurtunity to get it cleaned up and uploaded before NewYear though, so you can expect that model to be available within the first week of the new Year, probably the 2nd/3rd ish. - 24 December 2009 04:03
I l♥ve how you make these heros. It is awsome. Where do you get the model to make them, you have to get them from SOME sort of website.
- 24 December 2009 10:50
I hope you dont mind if I copy and pasted your paper X-Men on my X-Men website. But you are still getting the credit because I wrote on the website that I got them from this website, and I put a link from my website to this website on it so you could get more viewers.
If anybody wants to check my websie out it is called www.srsjcwbn.webs.com. The srsjcwbn stands for Storm,Rogue,Shadowcat,Jean Grey,Cyclops,wolverine,Beast,
Merry Cristmas Eve to all. - 24 December 2009 11:01

Happy New Year. 2010 Where is STORM! You said you would make her by new Year. We are waiting!
- 1 January 2010 05:59
- Telmo said...
Xavier actually has a life, and his making these for himself, he just happens to be nice enough to share them with us. So please give him a break about Storm, he'll come around to her when he has the time. We also said he was going to do Dark Phoenix, and maybe White Phoenix too, but give the guy a break, he's only human, and doing these as a hobbie.
They might look easy to do when they are all done inside the PDF file, but things like these take a lot of planing in advance, and I'm just talking shape, I'm not even thinking about all the paint applications.
Happy New Year Xavier. - 2 January 2010 00:29
I know.Im sorry if he took it like it was like I was trying to be to be mean. And thanks for saving them with all of us. Don't we know there hard. I will be quite about Storm. Thank you for telling me this Telmo.
SORRY Xavier and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Yet again sorry! And by ! i dont mean to yell at you. - 3 January 2010 12:28

Just what the doctor ordered? Are prescription assistance programs and discount pharmacy prices helping us stay well?
Image: ISTOCKPHOTO/GARYALVIS
More In This Article
American households annually spend more money on health care than on education and entertainment combined, with more than $200 billion alone going toward the purchase of prescription drugs, according to The Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit health care research and communication group.
As health costs and unemployment soar (an estimated 45 million people in the U.S., including eight million children, do not have health insurance, according to the U.S. Census Bureau), it has become ever tougher for people to afford medical treatment, forcing some to not to fill prescriptions or to skip doses, thereby reducing therapeutic benefits as well as upping the opportunity for antibiotic resistance, according to Kaiser.
In an effort to increase access to prescription drugs, retailers and pharmaceutical companies are increasingly offering medicine at dramatically lower price tags and, in some cases, free of charge.
Discount giants Target and Wal-Mart in 2006 began selling 30-day supplies of generic prescription drugs to customers for $4 (and K-mart for $5); for a 90-day supply, the chains charge about $10. The low-cost program began in a handful of their stores but is now available in all of their locations with pharmacies. Some local supermarkets with pharmacies, meantime, are now providing generic brand antibiotics at no cost.
Some drugmakers have been offering free and reduced-rate prescriptions for decades to those who qualify based on financial need. They also hand out about $16 billion worth of free prescription samples to doctors each year. Many consumer advocates and physicians have applauded the results.
"Anything that helps anyone afford their prescription drugs is a good thing," says Cheryl Matheis, a senior vice president for health strategy at AARP, a membership organization and advocacy group for those 50 years of age or older. But, she says it will take a lot more to fix the nation's health care woes. "You can relieve the symptom, but you're not really attacking the problem," of millions of Americans who are struggling to pay for food and shelter—let alone their meds. "It's a Band-Aid approach to an issue that's growing."
Some experts also bring up health concerns about dispensing antibiotics at low or no cost, which they fear may lead to overuse and add to the growing problem of "superbugs" that have developed resistance to some antibiotics. The reason, says Laurie Hicks, a medical epidemiologist at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): physicians may be more easily swayed by insistent parents to prescribe free antibiotics even though a kid has a viral (as opposed to a bacterial) infection for which such drugs are useless.

"I typically don't try to create images about a single idea or concept. I prefer to leave things open to interpretation as much as possible, so that different people can take different things away from it. When I'm shooting a location, I want to convey a feeling and a mood. I want to create an image that you can get lost in, without it being overcomplicated or too conceptual. I wouldn't say I go out of my way to make things overly basic, but instead I opt for a level of realism over something fantastical."

Review/Photos: Spoon at Waterloo Records in Austin, TX, 01.25.2010
words and photos by Andy Pareti
please scroll down for photo gallery
In a selfish sort of way, seeing Spoon perform in the middle of the afternoon on a Monday felt a bit exclusive. While most of the Austinite masses were sending off those last minute business emails before hitting the road for rush hour, those of us with so-called untraditional careers (or, for some, none at all) had an hour-long reason to rejoice. It's the little things in life, as they say.
To promote their newly released seventh studio album, Transference, the notoriously consistent local rockers played a free show in Waterloo Records' parking lot under a beautiful clear blue sky.
Waterloo's small lot was packed to the square foot with sunglass-wearing concertgoers for Spoon, who played a solid hour of music including a three-song encore. Fans who are still digesting Transference will be glad to know that the album packs a significantly more solid punch live. The band opened things off with Transference tracks "I Saw the Light" and "The Mystery Zone", both of which are already making a case to be considered among Spoon's finest, and their live counterparts were mesmerizing. Even the less immediately-striking songs on Transference went over well at Waterloo, especially the funky, piano-driven "Written in Reverse".
But Spoon's set was surprisingly well-rounded for what was basically a promotional tool, fleshed out with plenty of material from Kill the Moonlight and Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. Fan favorite "Something to Look Forward to" made the mix, as did "You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb", "Don't Make Me a Target", and "Jonathan Fisk", the latter of which, with its punk rocker riff and quick-spat lyrics, was a particularly affective performance.
Spoon made sure not to shrug off a show that they could have potentially disregarded. Of course there was the to-be-expected Austin praise from lead singer/guitarist Britt Daniel, but the band practiced what they preached, engaging in a lively, raucous performance that accentuated the foursome's skillful knack for infectious hooks and rhythmic artistry. Keyboardist Eric Harvey drove the machine along with the unmistakable pulse of his keys as the band soldiered on in response, ultimately fulfilling the sun-soaked crowd's appetite.
As expected at this point, Transference has already garnered mostly positive critical feedback. I think it's safe to say that Spoon has hit its stride. Every time they return to perform in Austin is something of a victory lap, a reminder of the national recognition this city's music continuously spawns. They are certainly basking in every minute of it, and whenever they come around to put on a show like this, so are we.

By Kathryn Beach
When I was a renter, I dreamed about being a homeowner. Among my reasons for wanting this was so I could decide the types of flowers, shrubs and trees in the yard. My goal was to have something blooming each season of the year.
One of the benefits of living in coastal North Carolina is that this is actually possible. We have a growing season of more than 250 days, which allows us to have blooming plants in our yards virtually year round!
If you have an interest in gardening, or are simply interested in an attractive and well-landscaped yard to add to your curb appeal and property value, the library provides resources to help you plan and undertake gardening projects.
North Regional Library has a series of programs planned for spring. We lead off on Jan. 17 at 7 p.m. with "Landscaping in the Sandhills." An attractive yard and garden requires thought and planning. Join us as Brad Goodrum, instructor of horticulture at Fayetteville Technical Community College, discusses the environmental challenges of the Sandhills, plants that thrive in this area, and how to develop a landscape plan to meet your lifestyle, aesthetics and location. Supplement what you learn from Goodrum by going to a library and checking out books such as "Landscaping Your Home: Creative Ideas from American's Best Gardeners," "The Four-Season Landscape," "The Front Garden," "Landscaping Makes Cents," and "The Border Book."
Each year the library works to improve its overall collections, but we also select a specific topic on which to expand and improve the holdings. Gardening was the topic selected for this year; currently there are more than 800 entries pertaining to gardening. There are guides for selecting annuals, perennials, shrubs and trees.
Interested in organic gardening? We have books for you - "The All You Can Eat Gardening Handbook: Easy Organic Vegetables and More Money in Your Pocket" and "Step by Step Organic Vegetable Gardening." Recent additions and books on order include "Fun Gardening for Kids," "The Better Homes and Gardens Quick Color Gardening," "Perennial Vegetable Gardening With Eric Toensmeier," "Landscaping Solutions for Small Spaces" and "Landscaping for Privacy."
The staff is not only updating and expanding our holdings in this subject area; we are highlighting it with our programming, too. In the coming months at North Regional Library, look for programs on growing roses, vegetable gardening, container gardening, urban chickens, and creating and watering with rain barrels.
Landscaping and gardening can be challenging and rewarding experiences. Whether you love to spend time tending your shrubs, flowers and vegetables or prefer a low-maintenance garden, the library has resources for you. Come visit us. North Regional Library is at 855 McArthur Road, Fayetteville. For information on programs, call 822-1998 or check out events on our website at www.cumberland.lib.nc.us/ccplsite.

College Park, MD -- A group of American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) from the UM School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation is featured in The Washington Post real estate section for their contributions toward transforming a DC home into a model of universal design. The article, "Offering Access to All", describes the collaborative efforts of the DC government (who owns the home), AARP, renowned architect Michael Graves, AIAS and other contributors who worked to transform the home, incorporating features to make it user-friendly for people of all ages and abilities.
Before working on the project, AIAS traveled to Graves's office and home in Princeton, NJ. During their visit, Graves coached them on things like how wide to make the hallways and brainstormed with them about the type of door to use for the bedroom. Aided by this invaluable experience, AIAS helped convert the DC home's garage into an accessible bedroom, laundry room, and bath. In the bathroom their design includes a roll-under sink, elevated outlets and a ceramic floor so wheelchairs can roll right into the shower. The bedroom has a sliding entry door.
"To build something like this that has a purpose and that will affect people's lives was an amazing opportunity," says Jason Langford, a 2008 graduate of the school.

The NTSB has released its preliminary report in an accident which resulted in the fatal injury of two people in Boulder City, NV. The airplane was an Aero Vodochody L-39 operated by Mach 1 Aviation and Incredible Adventures.
The flight was one of four that was to have been conducted for a group of people who had paid for rides aboard the airplane. The passengers were briefed by the pilots prior to the flights, and during interviews, none said they were aware of any mechanical difficulties with either of the airplanes brought to Boulder City for the rides. A probable cause report will likely not be released for several months to a year.
NTSB Identification: WPR12FA216 14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation Accident occurred Friday, May 18, 2012 in Boulder City, NV Aircraft: AERO VODOCHODY L-39, registration: N39WT Injuries: 2 Fatal.
This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been completed.
On May 18, 2012, about 1300 Pacific daylight time, an experimental exhibition Aero Vodochody L-39, N39WT, impacted desert terrain about 1/2 mile from the Boulder City Municipal Airport (BVU), Boulder City, Nevada. Mach 1 Aviation and Incredible Adventures operated the flight under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. The airline transport pilot and one passenger were fatally injured; the airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and wing assembly. The accident airplane, along with another L-39 (N139CK), departed Van Nuys Airport (VNY), Van Nuys, California, about 0730 on the morning of the accident. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the cross-country flight, and no flight plan had been filed. The flight was destined for Boulder City.
A group of eight people had paid for a flight package. The flight was to be 45 minutes long, and at the end of the flight each passenger would be provided a film of their flight. The majority of the group was interviewed, and they stated that they were driven by bus from their hotel to BVU. Once they arrived at BVU, they made their way into BFE FBO (fixed based operator) and were told by someone at BFE that the two airplanes were en route from VNY. While they waited for the airplanes to arrive, the group discussed the order in which they would fly since only one passenger could occupy one seat in each airplane. After the airplanes arrived, the group reported seeing two people exit each airplane. The group talked to the pilots and took pictures of themselves with the airplanes. They moved inside BFE to a conference room where they received a briefing of what to expect. Members of the group indicated that there would be four flights; two flights would occur before lunch, the airplanes would be refueled, and then they would have the final two flights. The passengers did not observe any mechanical problems during the first two flights. The accident flight occurred on the third flight of the day after the lunch break.
The passenger in the lead airplane for the accident flight stated that that he and the other passenger got into their respective airplanes, he did not watch the other passenger get ready for their flight. He stated that he figured out how to put his own seatbelt/safety harness on, and was instructed about the canopy usage. After the canopies were closed, he was able to hear the pilot of his airplane and the pilot of the other airplane. The passenger stated that his pilot received a clearance for takeoff and was notified that a flight of Apache helicopters were inbound for landing. The pilots taxied the airplanes to the runway and came to a stop. The lead airplane was on the left side of the runway and the accident airplane was on the right side of the runway. There was a discussion about the crosswind and if there were any issues on takeoff, his airplane would make a left turn, and the accident airplane would make a "harder left [turn]." To the passenger the takeoff was normal. He recalled looking at the altimeter and noting that about 400 feet above the ground, his pilot instructed the other pilot to stay in formation. The passenger stated that his airplane was in a climbing left turn and he heard the other pilot say mayday three times and "canopy." He looked out of his window and saw the accident airplane in a right turn, then saw it flatten out followed by a puff of dirt. He recalled seeing the accident airplane go underneath one set of power lines. The passenger stated that there were no further communications from the pilot of the accident airplane. One of the helicopters approaching BVU during the airplanes takeoff saw the crash and landed near the accident site to render assistance. The pilot of the lead airplane circled over the accident site and gave the helicopter's crew instructions on how to open the canopies and turn off the engine.
The pilot in the lead airplane stated that the takeoff was normal. The climb out was normal until he heard a "canopy" call coming from the pilot of the other airplane.
The accident site was approximately 1/2 mile northwest of the airport in flat desert terrain. The airplane came to rest intact between two sets of power lines next to an access road. The first identified point of impact (FIPC) was a flat area adjacent to a berm alongside the road; an impression of the airplane fuselage and wings were observed in the dirt at the FIPC. The debris field from the FIPC to the main wreckage was about 480 feet long. Undercarriage and a gear door were found about 100 feet from the main wreckage. The airplane rotated slightly to the west next to the access road. A 25-pound ballast was found on the other side of the access road. Investigators noted a 4-foot-deep by 20-feet-wide crater just behind the engine.

Tarta de Santiago is a famous cake from the pilgrimage town, Santiago de Compostela, in Galicia. Made from crushed almonds, eggs and sugar, this cake is a rich taste of an ancient tradition. For us, each bite brings back memories of breakfast in the granite squares of the medieval city, where so many people have enjoyed this delightful confection!
This cake is named after Santiago, or St. James, the patron saint of Spain whose remains are buried in Santiago de Compostela. People from all across Europe have made pilgrimages there since the Middle Ages, and it carries religious and historical significance today.
While pilgrims don't come to Santiago just for the cake, it's a delicious reward for their journey. You can find it in bakeries all over the medieval city, where its name and provenance are protected by Spanish law!
Skillful bakers mix Spanish almonds, eggs, sugar and a touch of lemon peel together. When the cake is fresh out of the oven, they sprinkle it with confectioners sugar to form a sword-shaped cross of St. James.
Served at breakfast with a rich cup of coffee or for dessert with espresso, it's a lovely taste of Spanish tradition. Sometimes, we even save it for dessert with a glass of Pedro Ximenez sherry!
We ship the cake frozen to keep it as fresh as possible. You can thaw it in the refrigerator overnight, which keeps the cake as moist and flavorful as possible. It is best served cool, or at room temperature.
Almonds, sugar, eggs, wheat flour, butter, muscatel wine and salt.
