Autumn in Paris
Paris Hill has been called Maine's Mount Olympus for its powerful residents, but what accounts for the village's enduring allure
- By: Edgar Allen Beem

Why, we sometimes wonder, would folks who could afford to live anywhere in Maine choose to live way up on Paris Hill in a picturesque but remote corner of Oxford County, so far from the coast, so far from a city, not even on the water? The answer might well start with the hill's location, with a veiw unsurpassed in terms of distance and beauty, particularly at this time of year.
Location, location, location
When approached from the south via Route 26, Paris Hill seems just a low mound lost among the Oxford Hills. The first view is from the sprawling commercial strip of shopping centers, chain stores, and manufactured housing companies that line the road as it passes through Oxford into Norway and South Paris. Just past Market Square in downtown South Paris, the Paris Hill Road is a detour to the right that leads uphill from the twenty-first century into the nineteenth.
Most Maine towns of any prominence are situated on bodies of water, along the coast and up the rivers, but Paris Hill is an exception. The Little Androscoggin River does flow from West Paris down through South Paris, Oxford, and Mechanic Falls before joining the Androscoggin proper in Lewiston, but Paris Hill presides above it all.
According to local lore, Paris Hill was high ground settled after major flooding in 1785. It also provided favorable pastureland and good defense against Indian attacks, and had the appeal of a longer growing season. Local folks will tell you that frost comes late to Paris Hill. It's often warmer on the hill than down in the town, so flowers bloom longer into the fall.
The long view
The view from Paris Hill is fifty miles west into the White Mountains of New Hampshire and two hundred years back into its own past. From the brow of the 831-foot hill above South Paris, local residents look across the same autumnal landscape of painted trees, ponds, and lakes that their forebears did, a panorama stretching all the way to Mount Washington.
The best view is from the ancestral home of Paris Hill's most famous resident, Hannibal Hamlin, vice president under Abraham Lincoln [Down East, August 2009]. The five vine-covered pergola arches of the Dr. Cyrus Hamlin House (1806) frame the view in a splendid pentaptych of uninterrupted fall foliage.
Paris Hill's best-known current resident is real-estate developer Robert Bahre. Several times a year, the present owner of the Hamlin House lifts off from the distant horizon and crosses the view from Paris Hill in a helicopter, breaking the peaceful spell of the past with the excitement of prop wash and rotor thump as his chopper lands where the mansion's tennis court once stood.
The former owner of both Oxford Plains Speedway and New Hampshire Motor Speedway is also one of the country's foremost collectors of antique cars.
One day a year, on Founder's Day in July, Bahre — who now spends most of his time on the far side of the view on New Hampshire's Lake Winnipesaukee — opens the two vast car barns below Hamlin House to the public, providing a privileged view of Duesenbergs and Packards, Cadillacs and Stutz Bearcats, Corvettes and Mercedes in a panoply of shiny greens, reds, creams, yellows, and browns to rival that of the surrounding landscape.
The living history
A visitor to Paris Hill can be forgiven for mistaking 2009 for 1809, yet Paris Hill is not a place frozen in time. It is a living community, perhaps unique in Maine in the way it combines elements of past and present, old and new, summer colony and year-round village. It sits up in the Oxford Hills like an un-gated Prouts Neck or a pristine Castine magically transported inland from the coast.
The Hamlin House is the Federalist centerpiece of the Paris Hill Historic District, an intact nineteenth-century hilltop village of distinctive buildings dating to when Paris Hill was the seat of Oxford County government. Hard by the Hamlin manse is the little granite bunker of the county jail (1822), next to that the jailer's house (also 1822), the cantilevered structure of the courthouse (1815), and the red brick bastion of the old registry of deeds (1826).
This little cluster of former public buildings is surrounded by a handsome neighborhood of Federal and Greek Revival homes, most staid and stoic in their white clapboards and black shutters, all attended by the great white bulwark of the First Baptist Church of Paris (1838) on the town common. The neighborhood was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
Town resident Winnifred Mott helped organize the Hannibal Hamlin Bicentennial Celebration, held on August 22, to mark the two hundredth anniversary of Hamlin's birth here on Paris Hill.
"It's sort of like a little piece of heaven," says Mott. "There's a peace here that people love."
The glorious past
In 1805, pastoral Paris Hill was chosen as the shire town of the newly formed Oxford County, and being the county seat defined the village for the next ninety years.
A visitor today might hardly imagine the extent to which Paris Hill was once a seat of political power in Maine. The village produced four Maine governors, three speakers of the Maine House, three presidents of the Maine Senate, twelve U.S. representatives, two U.S. senators, and, of course, Vice President Hannibal Hamlin.
The bustle and activity when court was in session filled the Union House (1808) with Democrats and the Hubbard House (1806) with Republicans. All the legal hustle and political bustle came to an end, however, when the county seat was moved to South Paris in 1895. It seems the railway that reached South Paris in 1847 couldn't climb Paris Hill, so after decades of wrangling, the body politic abandoned the village to private owners. What followed has been a hundred and fourteen years of solitude.
Deep roots
Many of the present-day residents of Paris are descendents of old Paris Hill families. They treasure their connections to the past and the pleasant way in which being bypassed has left their village so well preserved.
Winnifred Mott, for instance, lives in a shady farmhouse that has never been out of her late husband's family. Her friend Julie Demont's family owns four of the most historic buildings on the hill, Demont herself residing seasonally in the Registry.
"A lot of my family have been in the military," Julie Demont explains. "When you travel all over the world, you don't really have roots. This is where our roots are. Our friends are here, and the things we love to do."
The sense of community
Among the things people like to do on Paris Hill is "walk the green," a one-mile loop around Lincoln Street, Tremont Street, and the Common that attracts walkers from all over the area. There's also golf at the Paris Hill Country Club, a little nine-hole course owned by its members but open to the public, and public suppers at the Community Hall, the former Paris Hill Academy (1856 to 1901). A bit more exclusive is membership in the picturesque Sandy Shore Swimming Club down on Norway Lake. Still, Paris Hill maintains its privacy without snobbery.
The lure of nature takes Paris Hill residents up onto Streaked Mountain, which forms the backdrop to the village, for hikes, berrying, and rockhounding. The chief cultural attraction of the village is the Hamlin Memorial Library and Museum, locked away behind the heavy iron grates of the old Oxford County Jail.
"We moved to Paris Hill from Bethel mainly for the community," says Wendy Penley.
"There's a diversity of ages, an economic diversity, and a huge sense of community and working together. There's the country club, the library, the church, the community hall. We're all very tight."
The ghosts
Residents of Paris Hill are as tight with the past as they are with the present. Every house has a history; every resident is conscious of who lived where and how they were related.
The quick and the dead coexist as equals. And there are ghosts everywhere.
"That house is where the famous Littlefield murder happened in 1937," says Mott, indicating an old house across the street from the country club. "We're still talking about that one. It put Paris Hill back on the map."
Dr. James Littlefield and his wife, Lydia, were killed in October of 1937 in a sensational murder apparently committed to cover up a teen pregnancy and possibly incest, the murderer being either the unwed mother's boyfriend or her father. The bloodstains have reportedly never come out of the wall in the bathroom where Dr. Littlefield was bludgeoned and strangled.
"And that's not the only house on Paris Hill that has a ghost," whispers Mott.
A peaceful retirement
Commerce is also something of a ghost on Paris Hill. The old Paris Manufacturing sled factory is long gone, as is the J.C. Marble gunpowder factory, and there hasn't been a store on the hill since the 1950s. Those still engaged in commerce tend to make their money elsewhere: distilling vodka in Freeport, trading internationally in palm oil, or importing clothespins from China.
As is the case in so many places in Maine, Paris Hill's lovely setting and historic architecture tend to attract retirees from all over. Janet Brogan, the new president of the Paris Hill Historical Society, moved to the old Marble homestead in 2006 from California, where she and her husband ran a winery.
"We jumped off the deep end," says Brogan, explaining that she and her husband, Michael, first came to Paris Hill in 2005 to visit friends. "We fell in love with the village.
The people are so welcoming, so accommodating, and there was so much gratitude for us saving an old house and barn."
Making it to the top
Neighbor Bob Moorehead, president of the Paris Hill Country Club, jokingly calls the fine old homes on the hill "money pits" — expensive to purchase, restore, and maintain. Having grown up in Norway and South Paris, Moorehead has seen Paris Hill evolve from summer colony in the 1950s through the restoration boom of the 1970s into the bedroom and retirement community it is today.
If you live on Paris Hill, Oxford County's most desirable neighborhood, you've made it. As a member of the Maine Press Association Hall of Fame, Moorehead made it to the top of his profession. He purchased his Paris Hill home in 1993 after retiring as general manager of Central Maine's Morning Sentinel in Waterville.
"It's quiet — it doesn't change," says Bob Moorehead of the timeless appeal of Paris Hill, then qualifies himself. "It does, but it changes very slowly. I've known a lot of these people for a lifetime. It's kind of tribal, really."
The past has a future here
The wheels of change do turn slowly on Paris Hill, but they turn inexorably. Four years ago, there were no homes for sale on the hill. Today, with the population aging and the economy in recession, there are close to a dozen. Unlike many Maine communities, where publicity can be unwelcome, folks on Paris Hill are eager for the word to get out about their historic old village. They'd love to see some "Sold" signs on those lovely old homes. They're eager to have new neighbors. Yet if the past is any indication, while people may come and go, Paris Hill, Maine's Olympus, will endure.

What You Don't Know Is Frontier
Bringing with them an impressive pedigree, including ties to Faith No More/Mr. Bungle, Goatsnake, Burning Witch, and drone masters Sunn 0))) and Earth, Asva makes use of many of the same ideals utilized by those last two bands. Asva is alternately crawling through gut-wrenching agonizing slothliness a la Sunn and drifting through a plodding cinematic beauty like the more (ahem) progressive work of recent Earth. In combining the downtuned and the dreamy, Asva have created a work of melancholic scope that stands tall in the ranks of droning goodness, although it does drag a bit at times. As one would likely imagine from the comparisons a few lines back, Asva utilizes crashing, plodding power chords, sparse drumming and distant vocals alongside sections of feedback-laden squeals, the occasional organ and keyboard work, and some delay-heavy clean guitars. It's that latter element that adds the atmospheric element that makes this more than just tuned-down and slowed-down soul-crushing heaviness and gives What You Don't Know a slightly more uplifting feel that's belied by the squall of the opening track.
Even with their roots in the style's foremost acts, I still found myself drifting away during portions of this. In the opening moments of What You Don't Know, Asva falls prey to the style's innate lack of dynamics, and in those same moments, I get a little sleepy. Example: the title track, which is good but doesn't do much to separate the band from Sunn-worship. Although I enjoy that much-parentheticaled band's bowel-destroying lows, What You Don't Know's best moments are…well…bigger than just the usual ol' "one chord for three painful minutes" thing… Following it with the static structure-less "Christopher Columbus" was almost too much for my attention span, although thankfully that second track finally kicks in some eleven minutes later with some ominous guitar overdubs.
Even with two lesser tracks up front, portions of What You Don't Know work brilliantly, especially when Asva steps away from pure sluggish doom. The Jesu-meets-Bjork-on-lithium "A Game In Hell, Hard Work In Heaven" managed to reclaim my waning interest with some sleepy-but-heavy melodic guitar lines, church organ and female vocalization, and from there out, I was hooked. To these ears, Asva flies higher and farther in those Earth-ier sections, and even farther in moments like the end of "A Game In Hell," where the drums kick in with an actual beat and the whole thing glides along at a nice clip with the guitars chiming away on top. (It's positively rocking by drone standards, but of course, that moment lasts only a minute or so before it all devolves into one tone that shifts pitch and volume ever slightly enough to grate immensely upon one's nerves, which I'm more than certain is the desired effect.) It's the album's second half and it's less traditional drone moments that keep me coming back, that mixture of the beautiful and expansive with the simplistic and crushing.
Despite getting off to a slow start (pardon the joke there), What You Don't Know Is Frontier nonetheless holds its own and will likely sit alongside (but certainly beneath) Earth's The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull in my short list of this year's quality drone/doom records.
And yes, I know "slothliness" isn't a word.
Neither is "parentheticaled."

Supreme Court Addresses Definition of "Supervisor" in Racial and Sexual Harassment Cases, Will it Have an Impact on Future Litigation?
Assembly Speaker Silver Testifies in State Probe of Lopez Secret Sexual Harassment Payout
Georgia Police Officer Files Federal Suit Alleging Female on Male Sexual Harassment
A former lifeguard for a D.C. public school was awarded $3.5 million for a sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit filed against the D.C. Department of Parks and recreation.
In addition to awarding the plaintiff such a large settlement they also recommend that the Department of Park and Recreations institute sexual harassment training and reporting system to address any future incidents.
The original lawsuit was filed in 2006 by Carmen Jean-Baptiste who was hired to work as a lifeguard at one of D.C.'s public pools. Shortly after he began her job one of her supervisors, Rodney Weaver began harassing her by repeatedly asking her for a date and making sexual advances.
Jean-Baptiste's suit alleges that once she rejected his advances the harassment got worse. According to her attorney, Weaver made references to her genitalia by saying he "wanted some of that." Weaver also allegedly stroked her hair and made many more sexual comments and overtures.
Jean-Baptiste reported the hostile work environment to no less than six of her supervisors, but the harassment didn't stop. She was fired a short time later which her sexual harassment lawyer says was retaliation.
The jury foreman, John C. Henry explained their decision, "They (supervisors for the Department) ignored, stalled and delayed any actions on her allegations," also stating the jury felt "embarrassed" about how the case was handled. They awarded Jean-Baptiste such a large settlement for her pain and suffering.
For Jean-Baptiste the decision was a long time coming and assures that any future employees for the Department of Parks and Recreation will not have to endure the abuse she suffered.

Section 1981
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
A shorthand reference to the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which declares African Americans to be citizens entitled to a series of rights previously reserved to white men. Among the rights conferred by Section 1981 are the right to sue or be sued in court, to give evidence in a lawsuit, to purchase property, and to make and enforce contracts, which courts have interpreted to prohibit racial discrimination in employment.

23rd December 10am - 5pm with tours at 10.30am and 1.00pm
Nollaig Chridheil agus Bliadhna Mhath Ùr
We are pleased to be able to announce that our new Global Travel Retail exclusive releases are starting to become available in different travel hubs around the world. They are currently offered at the Fine Spirits and Cigars shop located in Lounge 3 at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. We expect them to be on sale at Doha Airport in Qatar in the next few days, closely followed by Charles de Gaulle International in Paris.
Our full range is also available at Male' International Airport in the Maldives.
Next week there will be a high-profile launch at the Central Square in Schiphol from which we hope to bring you news as soon as it happens.
There will be five single malts on display:
1) Bruichladdich The Organic Scottish Barley (GTR exclusive)
2) Bruichladdich Bere Barley 2006 2nd Edition (GTR exclusive)
3) Octomore 6.2 (GTR exclusive)
4) Port Charlotte PC11 (GTR exclusive)
5) Bruichladdich Black Art 4
We are expecting further launches at many other airports around the world over the next few weeks with the first likely to be Delhi International Airport in India.
We will of course bring you more information just as soon as we have it.
Our new Valinch is a beautiful 21 year old that spent the majority of its life in an American bourbon barrel before being transferred to a French oak cask that had previously held one of the world's finest eaux-de-vie.
This is a wonderful dram, an inspirational example of cask enhancement, or ACEing as we like to call it. It has been named for our Distillery Manager, the ever youthful Allan Logan, although even Allan no longer claims to be a mere 21 years old. There is talk of this being the first in a series of Valinch editions that will feature members of the Laddie Crew. We will have to see.
After a long run of unpeated Bruichladdich through the stills we have started to distill heavily peated Port Charlotte spirit this morning. We plan to be running Port Charlotte for around a month before changing again, to Octomore, the heaviest peated whisky in the world. The Octomore will take us through to the Christmas holiday.
The first 7.2 tonne batch of the pungent, peat-infused Port Charlotte grist was soaked in our lovely old cast iron mash tun on Wednesday of last week, the maximum amount of sugar being gently extracted to give a sweet wort. Water was added and drained away from the grist in the mash tun four times, with the first and second 'waters' being used to charge the washbacks, while the third and fourth were recycled as the first and second waters of the subsequent mash.
Yeast was added to the wort in the washbacks by hand, and a slow period of fermentation resulted in the creation of alcohol in a malty 'wash', which is akin to a beer. It is this wash that charges the stills and is gently simmered and the vapours condensed to produce, first the low wines, and finally the precious spirit that will fill the oak casks.
We have been working with photographer Steven Fisher on a video short featuring Master Distiller Jim McEwan as part of a series highlighting great UK craftsmen for 'The Daily Telegraph', Britain's highest circulation broadsheet newspaper.
Steven and partner Shiraz Ksaiba have material for four short films, some of which have been published others with others still being produced.
We held our second Tweet Tasting on Wednesday October 2nd, hosted by Steve Rush @TheWhiskyWire. There were twenty five lucky recipients of four 20cl bottles that we labeled Dram One to Dram Four. The tasting was only 'semi-blind' though, as we told people that these were four of the nine new releases that Bruichladdich have launched this year, and as all of the bottles carried the alc/vol statement, one of which was 57%, it did not require Hercule Poirot to work out what it was…
The 14th annual New Yorker Festival – more than fifty events featuring an eclectic mix of art, literature, culture, science, music and politics - plus plenty that defies simplistic attempts at classification.
Most of the events are sold out including 'High Spirits' which will feature Simon Coughlin and Jim McEwan in conversation with Kelefah Sanneh who wrote a definitive account of Bruichladdich for the magazine that was published earlier this year.
Check out this link to a Time Out preview of the Festival. Here is a program of events.
The New Yorker is a polymath American magazine published by Condé Nast 47 times a year. It focuses on the cultural life of New York but has a wide audience outside of the city built on a reputation for quality journalism across a wide range of subjects.
The legendary English cricketing all-rounder Sir Ian Botham and his wife Kathy visited Bruichladdich today for a tour and tasting with distillery manager Allan Logan.
Ian became acquainted with The Laddie while fishing with his friend Jock Miller who is a former shareholder, and has a particular liking for the Laddie 22 while both Ian and Kathy really enjoy The Botanist Islay dry gin.
The natural world serves up some extraordinary bounty - particularly so perhaps at this time of year as the harvests are gathered in. One of the less predictable sights is when literally hundreds of millions of young herrings, called "shielachan" in the Gaelic, gather in enormous shoals to feed on the rich plankton blooms that develop in the warmer waters of Loch Indaal. Following them are huge shoals of mackerel that gorge thenselves on the little fish. The mackerel are hunted in turn by predators such as tope (a kind of shark), seals and dolphins. We had a pod of bottle nosed dolphins in the loch last week that were photographed by Kevin Wiggins. They can be seen on the Islay Natural History Trust blog.
The villagers of Port Charlotte like to catch and eat the mackerel too. We enjoyed four for lunch yesterday, sold to us at our door by a proud young fisherman. They are best eaten grilled with plenty of salt and lemon and fresh brown bread. The shielachan have been in such numbers this year that the water has been literally thick with them at times, and they are driven up the beaches and onto the rocks by the voracious mackerel which themselves become so excited by the chase that they sometimes launch themselves up the beaches and become stranded on the sand.
The young shielachan are a delicacy too. Eaten whole as whitebait, one scoop of the net provides far more than a family can eat at a single sitting.
The recipe for shielachan was provided by Bob Paget, father in-law of Duncan McGillivray who is distillery manager at Bruichladdich. Bob recommends that we dry them and roll them in flour before deep frying them in oil for about five minutes, until they just start to turn crispy. Serve them with salt and parsley and lemon or garlic. Perfect with a dram of Port Charlotte Scottish Barley, they were a lovely starter last night, just before enjoying a shoulder of roast Islay lamb.

We are looking to upgrade our aged version of PGI CDK (Portland Group Fortran and C family compilers) on our cluster. However, since we only compile our models on the master node we would like to get a single node license for the master node without using the CDK option and paying the CDK price (you can only enter our cluster environment through the master node anyway rather than some clusters where you can join and do your dogwork on any node). We would then compile MPICH and move onward. We have heard some chatter that we can do this, and we have also heard chatter that PGI single node compilers (even when run though MPICH) are hobbled so that they can only be applied to 4 processors (accounting for dual core systems). Obviously we'd rather not shell out big bucks for a PGI CDK kit compiler that will only be compiling on one node. Does anyone have any experience or insight on this problem.

"The bestseller? Well, if, come around November time, Christmas cards just now"
The bestseller? Well, if, come around November time, Christmas cards just now. We have quite good sales for the Christmas cards because somebody takes a photo down the bank to the lifeboat or something like that, and one of the local firms, cant recall their name just now, but they publish the card, some, another firm supplies the card for it and the envelopes, and we make quite a bit of money off that.
But theres lots of things- children come in when they come down onto the beach and they buy things like little rubbers with lights on the end and pencil cases and little things to play in the bath with, diaries, stuff like that. Theres quite an array of stuff in the shop.

The Speedo proved mightier than the pedal in a marquee all-Island showdown Thursday night at the 47th Sport B.C. Awards Banquet hosted by broadcaster Brian Williams and held at the River Rock Show Theatre in Richmond.
London Olympics silver-medallist 1,500-metre freestyle swimmer Ryan Cochrane was named 2012 B.C. amateur male athlete of the year ahead of fellow-Victorian and Giro d'Italia cycling champion Ryder Hesjedal, who was also nominated.
The result might be considered a bit of an upset since Hesjedal was named Canadian male athlete of the year in Canadian Press balloting in December.
Soccer star Christine Sinclair of Burnaby, brilliant in captaining Canada to a controversial near massive upset of the U.S. in the semifinals and eventually to the bronze medal at the London Olympics, was named B.C. female amateur athlete of the year. She was also Canadian Press' Canadian female athlete of the year for 2012.
Balloting for the Sport B.C. Awards is annually conducted by a panel of media members and amateur sports officials from across the province.
Trevor Hirschfield from Parksville, London Paralympic wheelchair rugby medallist with the Canadian team, was named top B.C. athlete with a disability.
Peter Lawless of Victoria, who guided the Canadian wheelchair track team to medals at the London Paralympics, was named B.C. coach of the year.
Rugby player Fergus Hall of GNS, tipped as a future international for Canada, was named male high school athlete of the year.
The Penticton Vees' overwhelming season was rewarded. The Vees, who set a North American junior hockey record with 42 consecutive victories en route to the 2012 RBC Cup national title, were named B.C. team of the year.

Product 801/1128
The enormous beast stood a full six feet from the ground with a torso nearly as wide as the creature was tall. Its fur was a thick red-black color, like dried blood. The wolf had his teeth bared. Thick saliva pooled at the ground beneath him. His fluffy tail pointed to the rear and his ears were set back. His eyes were so full of hate, so full of power. I was sure we were both done for. Rat took a bite of his burger. The beast's entire body twitched as it propelled its girth forward. Rat eased back one step and the wolf smashed into an invisible barrier. "That's real moe-joe boyo!" He yelled to me. I had only managed to stand as the entire scenario played itself out in a second or two. While staring in confusion I shook my head and shut my eyes. I plunged into the Otherside. I saw two very disturbing images when I opened them. The first was what the wolf looked like. It was replaced by large effervescent sphere of undulating black energy. I knew it wasn't really a wolf at all but a portion of the power of the ghost spirit. The other disturbing image was Rat. Naturally I had expected to see a rat like I did with Snake and his follower. The rat in front of me was a large fat creature. It had orange fur like the man's hair. It was also missing patches of fur where its warty skin showed. The remaining thick fur was greasy and matted. Between the two creatures was a wall of green light. Something like a scanner beam from a Sci-Fi movie.

About Me Competitive Athlete
It was exactly what I was looking for! My 3 and 4 year old grandsons wanted me to teach them to hit. It was so gratifying to see their faces light up when they started hitting pitch after pitch, each one better than the one before! Now it is all they want to do!!!! Their confidence is sky high and they tell anybody that will listen how well they hit the ball!!!!
Great bat for little ones learning!
By Marissa
from Lincoln, NE
My 2 year old's favorite sport is baseball. Since he was 1 has had tiny, soft, baseball bats. I recently got this one since he was showing more interest in baseball and needed something a little bigger. He loves using his bat outdoors (he also has a baseball tee). The handle is soft and he's able to have a better grip on the bat.

It's a shame that some people have the NEED to be in the limelight all the damn time, or at least they appear like they do. In this case it's sad because who really knows what is going on behind KIM & KRIS, could their marriage be saved? Did the media help ruin their marriage before the ink even dried on the marriage certificates? Could KIM control it more than she has, do you think she has added to it? Is her mother, Kris, to blame for some of this?
Seems to me like she needs to choose between LOVE & FAME, question is will it make her happy? Always feeling the NEED to be someone she is NOT because she is AFRAID of what her "fans" "media" will think if she is HERSELF…will she really be able to ever shun the spotlight for LOVE?!?!
TMZ reports — Kim Kardashian left for Minnesota last night to see Kris Humphries … and sources connected with Kim tell TMZ she is conflicted over the divorce.
We got pictures of Kim as she made her way through the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport at around 5:30 AM local time. We're told Kim flew commercial and was traveling with the guy in the photo (above, left) who appeared to be a bodyguard.
According to our sources, Kim booked the flight very last minute (see her below at LAX) because she felt like she owed it to Kris to talk things through with him face-to-face. We're told no reality show cameras were involved.
Our sources tell us … Kim has been saying even before she filed for divorce that she wasn't sure about ending the marriage. As we first reported, she was crying on and off last weekend before she decided to pull the trigger.
Sources say it's definitely not accurate to call this a reconciliation … or even an attempt at one … but the door is definitely not shut.
Sources tell TMZ … Kris and Kim will be meeting with the pastor who married them to talk about the marriage, the divorce, and their feelings. Again, this is not a reconciliation but we're told Kim wants to make sure she and Kris have closure and talk everything out.

Rising Ashtead cricket star Dominic Sibley from Whitgift School, Croydon, tipped for 'glittering career'
9:34am Wednesday 2nd October 2013 in Sport By Andrew Bloss, Reporter
"What happened last week is something I will never forget. It has been brilliant and I have loved every minute of it."
That is how young cricketer Dominic Sibley feels about becoming the youngest double centurion in County Championship History.
Dominic, of Ashtead, scored 242 runs for Surrey Cricket Club in their draw against Yorkshire last week.
The 18-year-old's historic effort spanned nearly ten hours of cricket and 538 deliveries and came in only his third match for the club. He also scored 108 runs in boundaries.
Sibley, at 18 years and 21 days, became the youngest century-maker in Surrey's history, the youngest double century-maker in championship history, the second youngest Englishman after WG Grace to score a double century and the first 18-year old to score a century for Surrey since Graham Thorpe in 1988.
He now overtakes Northamptonshire's David Sales as the youngest double centurion ,who has been the record holder since 1996.
It was a remarkable feat for the Whitgift School pupil who began his cricketing career at Ashtead Cricket Club, following in the footsteps of his granddad Peter and his father Mark who both played for the club.
He has also featured for the England u-19 team.
Sibley said: "I can't quite describe how it felt. When I got to a hundred I was quite emotional really and reading the records out and seeing my name on the board with some of the greats was very special.
"What happened last week is something I will never forget. It has been brilliant and I have loved every minute of it.
"I will be honest I was pretty nervous before this game as I got zero in the last game I played so I was just happy to get off the mark."
The teenager is also studying Geography, English and Physical Education for his A-Levels although he has yet to have much teaching time this year due to playing the last three games of Surrey's season.
He said: "Some of my teachers haven't even seen me this year yet.
"The teachers have been brilliant and Whitgift, they have helped me through the last couple of years so I imagine this year will be no different."
David Ward, Head of Cricket at Whitgift School, said he was very proud of Sibley's achievement.
He said: "What a fine effort from Dom and thoroughly deserved, a top lad with great family support.
"At the age of twelve he would appear on the sports hall balcony here at Whitgift and watch the 1st XI train after school.
"His work ethic for a schoolboy is unparalleled and a rare ability in one so young to be hungry and disciplined enough to get a big score and push on even further.
"He grabbed the chance with both hands last week and maximised the experience by enjoying a huge partnership with a proven world class test batsman.
"Dominic know's that the hard work now begins and I'm sure we've all seen the start of a glittering career."

Had to check a mcquay rooftop unit model RPS, tries to start and goes out on flame failure. The maintenance guy says that it will only fire if he cover the inducer fan intake, anyone ever run into this, could it be a problem with the pilot tube?
Pull the burner assembly. Could be pilot orifice, crossover tube, rotted brackets or a combination. Also could be a restrictor plate rotted out by the inducer.

You definitely want to check main gas pressure first. If a pressure regulator is used for medium pressure gas, verify that it is not locking up and on start up not opening completely. For this you will need a manometer. After that verify that manifold gas pressure is correct based on design. ________________________________________ Trouble shooting is not part of the repair......understand the symptoms and you will find a solution.

Loyola Maroon Vol. XLII Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, April 29, 1966 No. 19 Are All Men Equal? — Kendall By GEOFFREY BROWN Gettysburg Address A Lie Is the United States really "dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal as Lincoln stated in the Gettysburg Address? Not according to Dr. Willmoor Kendall, chairman of the department of politics and economics at the University of Dallas. "The first sentence of the Gettysburg address is a plain lie about history," Kendall said in a talk sponsored by Loyola's Conservative Club. "Lincoln's twisting of the wording of the Declaration of Independence to support equality for all is unsupportable by the language of the Declaration, is heresy when judged by the American political tradition, and is a slap in the face of the founding fathers who wrote the Constitution," he said. Kendall asserted that the words "all men are created equal" in the Declaration of Independence sre "so ambiguous as to be classified as meaningless and useless." He said that the framers of the document could not have meant all human beings becausebecause they cut out a denunciation of slavery which Thomas Jefferson had written into the first draft. Kendall insisted that the Declaration makes no statement of national purpose as Lincoln tried to interpret it as doing. "It does not pretend to be a Constitution," he said. It merely says that thirteen sovereign states were cutting their political bonds with England and would govern themselves thereafter, he said. Eleven years later, the framers of the American Constitution repudiated the stand of the Declaration of Independence on equality for all men, Kendall asserted. The Preamble to the Constitution states that its purpose is to promote union, justice, tranquility, defense, wel- fare and liberty, but says nothing about equality. The Constitution is the document which determines our national purpose but Lincoln chose to ignore it in writing the Gettysburg Address, Kendall charged. "If it was good enough for the Founding Fathers, it is good enough for us, and should have been good enough for Lincoln," he concluded. Dr. Kendall, author or coauthor of 14 books, has been a faculty member at Yale, Stanford, Georgetown and Louisiana State University, and at the University of Illinois. He was a correspondent for the United Press during the Spanish Civil War and has served as chief of the Central Intelligence Agency's Latin American Division. DR. KENDALL Blue Key Hosts Annual Banquet And Induction Loyola's chapter of Blue Key National Honor Fraternity held its annual banquet Sunday at the Monteleone Hotel. Louis C. LaCour, U. S. Attorney for Louisiana, was toastmaster. The Hon. Louis H. Yarrut, Judge of the Court of Appeal of Louisiana (4th Cjr.), administered the oath and charge to 22 pledges. John J. McCann, national president of Blue Key, delivered the main address, "The Blue Key Man". Dan E. Stapp explained the symbolism of the key. The history of Blue Key was presented by M. Kent LeMarie.

Viet Elections Founding Of A New Nation' By FRANK PETERSON General Maxwell Taylor, special consultant to President Johnson, sees the upcoming popular elections in South Viet Nam as the "founding of a new nation." There will probably be much turbulence before the elections and some "risk" after it, he said. The "risk" is that if a freely elected government in Saigon asked us to withdraw, we would have to honor that request, he added. The former Ambassador to South Viet Nam entered the Fieldhouse through a rear door thereby avoiding contact with a cordon of anti-Viet Nam and anti-anti-Viet Nam war demonstrators standing along Freret Street. The anti-war group, whose spokeswoman was He 1 en e Schell of the Tulane Liberals Club, lined the curb across the street from the Fieldhouse. They carried posters ("Handsoff Vietnam"; "U.S.A. is the agressor in Viet Nam"; "Murder in the name of democracy is still murder") and distributed anti-war literature outside the building. They were opposed by another group, mostly Tulane architectural students, which stood facing them on the other curb. This group also displayed posters ("Dear Peace Creeps- Go Burn Yourselves"; Squash the Reds"; "Let's Go G.l.'s — Vietnam today, Red China Tomorrow") and a large Confederate flag. Their part-time organizer, Desmond Perschall, Tulane student, said, "We were not really demonstrating against anything in particular. We were just having some fun. We were just tired of seeing the anti-Viet Nam demonstrators out there all the time without anyone to oppose them." When asked why so few Loyola students participated in the demonstrations on either side, Rudolpho Pasteur of the Tulane Liberals Club answered, "Loyola is emotionally and politically immature." Immediately after General Taylor began his speech, the pr o t e s tors disbursed—some entering the Fieldhouse, some going elsewhere. Inside, Taylor said that the U. S. entered Viet Nam becausebecause "we were asked by a small nation under attack. Our only objective is the independence of South Viet Nam and its freedom from attack." He said that the U. S. has a four-component strategy in Viet Nam: to help equip and train the South Viet Nam Army; to take advantage of superior air power; to bring about social, political and economic improvement; and to use diplomatic channels in order to convince the rest of the world that our motives are "no more than a negotiated settlement." "The outcome (of the election)," said Taylor, "will favor Tri Quang's group (the Buddhists) more than the strength of his movement will justify." He added that "governmental inexperience" is a definite problem. Taylor concluded by stating that present U. S. action is more desirable than any of the suggested alternatives. To completely "pull out" or to retreat to "enclaves" would be an "abandonment of our friends" and would "hurt U. S. reputation"; to increase the war effort is "too risky", and to "let some international body solve it" is "not feasible", he said. Taylor was invited to Loyola by the Student Union and following the Saturday night speech a reception was given in his honor in Danna Center. Minutes Before . . . Welcoming General Maxwell Taylor before his speech here Saturday night are Rev. Daniel Partridge, S. J., Dean of Students, and members of the Hospitality Committee of the Student Union, Katie Gustafson and Diane David. General Taylor spoke on the war in Viet Nam and U. S. relations in the Far East. The General's visit to Loyola was sponsored by the Loyola Student Union. Pan-American Leaders Plan Course At Loyola Thirty-four rural leaders from Central America, Panama and the Dominican Republic are expected to arrive here Saturday to participate in a sixweek youth leadership training course at Loyola's Inter-American Center. The group will consist of rural community leaders, agricultural extension agents, the president of a rural electric cooperative, a 4-H Club organizer,organizer, a leader of the Guaymi Indians of Panama and a Catholic priest engaged in rural adult education programs transmitted by a number of Central American radio stations.During their stay at Loyola the participants will visit several Louisiana agricultural development and processing plants. They will inspect the San Francisco Sugar Mill and meet with labor union leaders in the Reserve area. Personnel from Operation Up Grade will conduct a special training course to acquaint the participants with the Laubach Literacy Training Method to help them combat severe illiteracy problems in their home countries. This 10th seminar group brings to 303 the number of Latin Americans who have come to Loyola for leadership training since October, 1964. Viet Protestors . . . Anti-Viet Nam war demonstrators line the Freret Street curb across from the Fieldhouse to protest the appearance of General Maxwell Taylor, special consultant to President Johnson. A group of anti-protestors lined the opposite curb. General Taylor, who was invited by the Student Union, spoke on the U.S. involvement in Viet Nam. He effectively avoided the demonstrators by entering the Fieldhouse through a rear door. SC Reps Elected In Runoffs A one point margin for a seat as A&S sophomore representative highlighted the runoff elections for the Student Council. Dirkie Van Antwerp and Randy Randall edged Ed Lahey by a single vote for the two remaining places on the Council. Barbara Henry earlier had won the election as a sophomore polling 253 votes. After the ballots had been counted four times, Van Antwerp and Randall were declared the winners. They each tallied 194 votes to 193 for Lahey. In other runoff elections, Ronnie Lauland defeated John Brady for the evening division presidency. Also, Tommy Antoon won the law school presidency from Lynn Singleton. The dental school officers were decided with Bill Domeyer being chosen president, Don Donaldson junior representative, Eddie Brown, sophomore representative, and Diane Coverdale, hygenist representative.Selective Service Voluntary Exams May 14, May 21, June 3 at Loyola Physics Awarded $8,000 The physics department has received a $8,160 grant to hold an in-service institute for 25 secondary school science and math teachers.

The "May Day Blood Drive" is being sponsored by the Student Council in conjunction with the Student Councils of Jesuit Colleges and Universities throughout the nation. Bobby Dupont, chairman of the drive, said the Council is aiming for 10% of the student body to give. Pledging of blood began the week before Easter and 196 have signed to date. "Almost 200 are signed now, but many won't be able to give because of history of illness and such/' Dupont pointed out. He urges people to give if they possibly can so the school can donate at least 200 pints. A Red Cross unit from Mobile, Ala., will be in the Fieldhouse on Monday, May 2, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a team of nurses to collect the blood.

Reno >
Pet Services > Fantasia Pet HotelMon. - Sun. 7am - 6pm
Neighborhoods: North Valleys
We are very happy with Fantasia Pet Resort. We initially found them when we moved from Germany to Reno and they have proved to be reliable and customer focused. We recommend them to friends when they are looking for a pet hotel. They really take care of our dog. Thank you.
Ignorance and neglect – I've heard mixed reviews about the kennel and wanted to try something new. Overall I wasn't impressed. My doxie stayed for two nights a couple weeks ago and I brought her own food because she's very picky but her food had never been touched. No one could tell me if she had been eating at all since she wasn't eating her food (or it was never given to her) but I know this much, she came home extremely dehydrated. She had severe diarrhea for days after coming home! I am giving 2 stars because the grounds and buildings were clean othewise it would have been 1 star because of the neglect. I do find it convenient that after another poor review, there are three reviews that sound like the same person wrote them. It's probably the only way the owner can keep positive reviews, write them himself
Outstanding!!! – I found Fantasia by their web site. I came into town to visit family for Christmas/New Years. The man on the phone that made my reservation was very nice and informative. He explained to me what they provide and what to bring for my dogs stay. I checked my dog in along with several other people. When I checked in my dog I chose some snacks and grooming while my dog stayed for the weekend. The people that helped me were very nice, and very organized for such a busy day. When I came to pick up my dog I was given a gift bag with a present for my dog and a present for me. My dog was happy and had a holiday scarf on when he met me in the office. His hair cut looked great, they even washed and folded his blanket. I am very happy I found Fantasia and will definitely use them again, I wish I had a place like this back home!!! HIGHLY RECCOMEND THIS KENNEL TO ALL
Lovely Kennel – I was referred to Fantasia by the Eldorado. I was in town for Hot August Nights. I left my dog in their care for 4 nights. The employees in the office were very nice, offered a tour of the building my dog would be staying in. The kennel was neat, smelled clean and the other dogs looked happy with wagging tails as I looked about. Pricing for my dog stay was terrific, but most of all my dog was just as happy when I checked him in and when I checked him out. I brought his own toy and blanket. Both were neatly folded and returned when we left. I come in to Reno every year for Hot August Nights and I will use Fantasia again for my dog!
Wonderful Pet Care – Since moving to Reno in 2007, Fantasia Pet Resort has been the only home away from home for our Schnauzer, Scooter. I have found the owners always pleasant, the kennel extremely clean, and the care my dog receives to be the best I could expect. The kennel hours are extremely convenient, too. Grooming is also available, and the ladies always do a great haircut. When my dog needs meds, everything is written down and gone over with me in detail. His toys are always returned clean, and most of all, Scooter seems very happy. I would highly recommend Fantasia for your pets next vacation. He will be very happy...and you can be assured that your pet is receiving the best care possible.
***False Review Posting*** – Both reviews titled "They killed my precious cat" and "One Pro many Cons" are false. Both of these reviews were made by a former disgruntled employee who was recently terminated!
They killed my precious cat! – I left my cat in their service for just over a week and she died two days later after an excruciating battle at my vet because of the neglect this business showed her. If you love your pets, if you ever want to see them alive......keep them away from Fantasia Euthanization Resort
These people have no business caring for peoples' animals!!!!!
One "Pro", many "Cons" – Pro:
1) The dog was given back alive
1) The dog smelled like it was dead and it just hadn't been buried yet.
2) Not only did he smell like death but the owners arbitrarily charged me for a bath that I didn't ask for instead of keeping the kennels clean.
3) My girlfriend has taken her dog here a couple times and signs her dog up for "pet and play" but myself, my girlfriend, and our friends that board there have never once seen a dog go out for "pet and play"
4) I can tolerate poor customer service if the product sells itself but the product does NOT sell itself. The younger looking owner is smug and condescending and the older owner is quite possibly the most insincere person I've ever met.
5) After my couple of run-ins with both of the owners, I flat out don't trust them. They do offer a good service, THEY just make you feel like they take advantage of you.
What a Great Kennel for Dogs! – Since moving to the Reno area a few years ago, we have used Fantasia Pet Hotel each time we leave for an extended period of time.
The owners go above and beyond to accomodate schedules and we have never had an issue with availability. The kennels are clean, smell great, and the animals appear healthy and content. The kennel has available exercise periods, walks, grooming, etc., so a wide variety of services can be obtained.
This past visit, we were running late due to the snow storm and the staff waited patiently so we could bring our dogs, Angel and Travis, home. When we arrived, the dogs were in great shape, the blankets which we brought were washed and packaged and the rawhides which usually get tossed about were also given back to us. None of this treatment was solicited or expected and we even offered to compensate them for the trouble, but no deal!
The owners/staff have been very good to us and our dogs have always returned happy and healthy. NO COMPLAINTS and we always recommend them to people we know.
Fantasia Pet Resort in Reno - Complaint about Negligence – I just picked up my dog from Fantasia Pet Resort in Reno, NV. When I took her in, she was healthy, brimming with personality and full of life. When I picked her up, she barely acknowledged me, was weak, trembling and looked shell-shocked.
When I called to ask the people at Fantasia Pet Resort what had happened, they told me that my dog was drinking water excessively, but they didn't think this was a concern. I pointed out that this is a SYMPTOM THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG.
When I got my dog home, she drank some water and started vomiting this thick snot-like substance which was covered in foam. I called the vet and the doctor had already left for the night, so I made an appointment for the next morning. I called Fantasia Pet Resort, Reno NV several more times and noticed how their answers to my questions kept changing. First they told me that she'd been drinking water excessively for a couple of days, then they accused me of bringing in a sick dog.
Long story short I had to take my dog to emergency that night. The pads on her paws were cold and she was fading fast. The doctor told me that my dog was severely dehydrated. He also said that I had a choice to euthanize my dog or pay for emergency surgery. I opted for the surgery and my dog had to have her spleen removed.
These people had my dog for 8 days. She was groomed on the last day of her visit, people fed and gave her water daily and no one noticed that something was wrong. No one noticed the dramatic change in her behavior. No one called me to say that my dog was drinking an excessive amount of water because no one cared.
I dropped off a healthy, affectionate, vital dog and picked up a dying, obviously dehydrated dog. I will never ever go back to Fantasia Pet Resort, Reno NV and suggest that you think very carefully before leaving your beloved pet in their care.
