Walls Across the Valley: The Building of the Howden and Derwent Dams
by Professor Brian Robinson
2012 Edition
Numbered limited edition (500) signed by the author
Scarthin Books' most legendary publication, first issued 20 years ago, with new content and never-before released photographs.
The Derwent and Howden Dams are a principal source of drinking water for much of South Yorkshire, Derbyshire and the East Midlands, including the cities of Sheffield, Derby, Leicester and Nottingham. They are magnificent engineering and architectural structures and have acquired additional fame as one of several locations used in training the Dambusters Squadron. Prof. Brian Robinson's grandfather worked on the project and his mother was born in the temporary navvies' village of Birchinlee in 1909, and indeed Brian himself has the stature of a powerful workman. Though a molecular biologist by profession, Prof. Robinson has had a lifelong interest in the construction of the Dams and in the lives of the workmen employed there, and in 1993, Scarthin Books of Cromford, Derbyshire were able, with support from the Severn Trent Water Authority, to publish his highly illustrated magnum opus, Walls across the Valley; The Building of the Howden and Derwent Dams in an edition of some 1500 copies. "Walls" has been out of print now for over a decade and has become Scarthin's most legendary publication, with the few examples that come onto the market selling for £200 or more. At the time of writing, not a single copy for sale can be traced on the net.
The building of the Dams was one of the great engineering feats of the early 20th. Century, involving the building of a railway up the valley and the village for the workmen, Birchinlee and the moving of well over a million tons of earth, stone and cement. The opening ceremony was held on the 5th of September 1912, so centenary celebrations are not far in the future.
The publication of the first edition of Walls across the Valley brought to light much new material, as well as a few factual revisions, and as the original edition sold out, Brian Robinson and publisher David Mitchell invested much time and effort in revising the text, but production of a second edition was beset by technical gremlins too costly to overcome and ten years past before Scarthin Books took up the challenge again. The advance of publishing technology has allowed this scholarly and superbly-illustrated volume to be completely re-originated with the revised text, and long-established Sheffield firm J.W.Northend have undertaken to print it to their accustomed high standards.
The Uke of Wallington by Mark Wallington
The Uke of Wallington - One Man and his Ukulele Round Britain
by Mark Wallington
£8.99 (paperback)
Only one thing has stopped Mark Wallington's rhythm and blues band going on tour - a lack of musical talent. The vicar's retirement do proves to be a gig too far and they decide to call it a day. But then Mark discovers an instrument he might just have enough talent for hidden on top of the wardrobe - the ukulele.
Realising his dream of a nationwide tour, the Uke of Wallington sets off on a 42-night road trip, playing open mic sessions from Brighton to Cape Wrath. Probably the first rock 'n' roll tour ever undertaken on public transport.
If you were lucky enough to catch Mark performing at Scarthin Books recently, you'll know just how talented (and funny) he is. A highly recommended book.
FIVA by Gordon Stainforth
FIVA- An Adventure That Went Wrong
by Gordon Stainforth
£9.95 (paperback)
A highly-acclaimed account, by local author Gordon Stainforth, of a climb that went horribly wrong.
In the summer of 1969, as Apollo 11 was blasting off to the moon, two teenage brothers, with only three years' mountaineering experience, set off to climb one of the highest rock faces in Europe. With just two bars of chocolate, some sandwiches, a four-sentence route description, and an old sketch map, they left their tent early one morning with the full expectation of being back in time for tea. Within a few hours things had gone badly wrong, they were looking death in the face, and the English Home Counties seemed very far away...

Forms of Intrigue and Woven Spaces
by Laura Ellen Bacon
Paperback £6
For over a decade Derbyshire artist Laura Ellen Bacon has been making art of a unique and compelling quality.
As she says in her latest book, " The ambition in my work is to generate a kind of intrigue and an appeal that touches a powerful nerve (perhaps ancient in its origin) that we cannot precisely locate".
Laura's work uses mainly willow, weaving large and complex structures outdoors. Initially I see them as nests, large and strange, yet recognisable, and I wonder what kind of creature could have made them. But then the more I look at them, the more mysterious they seem and I am indeed intrigued. They seem to take on alien forms and then seem alive, like creatures. The one at the Arts and crafts house in Cumbria certainly looks to my eyes like an animal scaling the wall.
Laura herself says "as if the work will continue to grow when the viewer's back is turned " and even in the book there is an almost hallucinatory sense of movement in much of her works.
Like Andy Goldsworthy and other environmental artists, her work seems both a natural part of the the environment and a striking addition to it. The installations on houses and walls bring nature in contact with man-made structures in ways that are unsettling - the one at the Artist's House in Wiltshire seems almost threatening in the way that the nest-like structures creep along the house, reminding one of the power of nature, whilst at the same time reminiscent of an alien invasion.
The works require hours of repetitive work and, close-up, the repetitive yet complex patterns of the works are quite mesmerising. She also works in other materials, I was struck by her use of old computer cabling for her installation in London.
Willow is her main medium and she has recently begun to weave large structures that allow the interiors to be experienced. On pages 48-49 there is a striking structure appropriately called "into the weave", at Derby Museum and Art Gallery.
The book is a very well produced and illustrated introduction to Laura Bacon's work, and a bargain at the price, but it should serve as a spur to get out and view her work in its locations, which really bring home just what a talented and exciting artist she is.
Lattice Labyrinth Tessellations
Lattice Labyrinth Tessellations by David Mitchell (Proprietor of Scarthin Books)
Published by Tarquin, £7.95 (paperback)
Visit Dave's Lattice Labyrinth Blog HERE
Book launch Saturday 14th December DETAILS HERE
This is the Entry Level book, a guided workbook which starts from the basics and shows you how to construct some of the amazing families of Lattice Labyrinths for yourself. I must emphasize that, despite its accessibility to anyone with a bit of secondary school mathematics or an eye for geometry, this is a NEW field, or at least a field that has remained hidden – you won't (easily?) find it in the popular sourcebooks or webpages of repeating patterns or in the standard works on tessellations (it's too elementary for them) or in the hundreds of works, popular or academic, on mathematical recreations. With respect, most of what is in most of these latter books is recycled from earlier books by such greats as Dudeney, Rouse Ball , Gardner or Conway. That hasn't stopped me amassing a considerable collection of fun maths books (YES – they DO exist) . They line the walls of the ground floor of the Rapunzel Tower in which the short-haired author works. David Mitchell.

Cromford Revisited
Cromford Revisited
by Doreen Buxton and Christopher Charlton
Published by The Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site Educational Trust (November 2013)
Soft Cover, £18 ISBN 9780954194062
This richly illustrated book examines some aspects of the development of Cromford and Scarthin from the mid eighteenth century. It recognises, as it must, a village largely shaped by several generations of the Arkwright family but introduces a wider cast of local characters; the mill-building George Evans of Bonsall and Cromford; the neighbouring gentry, the Gels of Hopton; the financier Peter Nightingale of Lea and several generations of the Wheatcroft family who spread the name of Cromford nationwide along the country's network of canals. Also featured is a later resident, Charles White, the concealed hand behind the Lea Mills strike of 1911-12 and a colourful local politician who was to become West Derbyshire's Member of Parliament.
In the austere conditions of the 1920s and 30s, with the Arkwright family gone and a squire's paternalistic hand no longer directing affairs, the village learned to manage for itself. Then in 1971 when the Arkwright Festival was held to celebrate the bicentenary of Richard Arkwright's arrival in Cromford, it found itself in the spotlight of heritage celebrity, recognition which in 2001 led to its achieving a central position in the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.

Carlton County residents and businesses declared eligible for loans
Small Business Administration loans are key step in recovery processBy: Drew Digby, Pine Journal
The announcement that disaster relief loans from the federal government are now available to residents and businesses of Carlton County is an important step forward in the recovery process. Late last week, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announced that low interest rate loans are now available in Carlton County, as well as Superior, Wis., and surrounding counties.
Residents whose insurance does not cover flood damage need to apply for an SBA loan in order to become eligible for other kinds of aid, including aid from Minnesota that might be approved later this month by the state legislature and from "Unmet Needs Committees" that are being set up to distribute money raised by the United Way and Volunteer Services of Carlton County.
While key decisions have not been finalized about either aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) or the state, residents can take a few steps to speed the process. The first is to make sure they've contacted their insurance company even if they don't have flood insurance to get a formal denial of coverage. This denial paperwork will be crucial in applying for other kinds of aid. The second step is to apply for a SBA loan. While many won't qualify for a SBA loan because of income and other requirements, a denial from SBA, or only a partial award, is required before applying for other state aid or for aid from the Unmet Needs committees.
SBA loans for homeowners have rates as low as 1.938 percent and are for amounts up to $200,000 to repair damage to homes and for amounts up to $40,000 to replace or repair personal property. More details on the loans are available at the SBA's field office in Superior or from this website: www.sba.gov.
Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA's secure website at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela.
Individuals and businesses unable to visit the Center in person may also obtain information and loan applications by calling the SBA's Customer Service Center at 1-800-659-2955 (1-800-877-8339 for the deaf and hard-of-hearing), or by sending an email to email@example.com. Loan applications can also be downloaded from www.sba.gov. Completed applications should be returned to the Center or mailed to: U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155.
The filing deadline to return applications for physical property damage is Sept. 25, 2012. The deadline to return economic injury applications is April 29, 2013.
"Loans up to $200,000 are available to homeowners to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate. Homeowners and renters are eligible for loans up to $40,000 to repair or replace damaged or destroyed personal property," said Frank Skaggs, director of SBA's Field Operations Center East in Atlanta, in a SBA press release. "SBA's customer service representatives are on hand at the Disaster Loan Outreach Center to answer questions about the disaster loan program, explain the process, and help individuals complete their applications."
The center is located in the Douglas County, Superior Business Center, 1423 N. Eight St., Superior, Wis. It will be open from now through Thursday, Aug. 9, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday, Aug. 4, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The center is closed Sunday, Aug. 5. While there may eventually be Disaster Loan Outreach Centers set up in Minnesota as well, they will likely not be established until after a special session of the Legislature is held, or possibly not at all.
"Businesses and non-profit organizations of any size may borrow up to $2 million to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate, machinery and equipment, inventory, and other business assets," said Eric Ness, SBA's Wisconsin district director.
The SBA may increase a loan up to 20 percent of the total amount of disaster damage to real estate and/or leasehold improvements, as verified by SBA, to make improvements that lessen the risk of property damage by future disasters of the same kind.
For small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small aquaculture businesses and most private nonprofit organizations of all sizes, the SBA offers Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) to help meet working capital needs caused by the disaster. EIDL assistance is available regardless of whether the business suffered any physical property damage.
Interest rates are as low as 1.938 percent for homeowners and renters, 3 percent for non-profit organizations and 4 percent for businesses with terms up to 30 years. Loan amounts and terms are set by the SBA and are based on each applicant's financial condition.

Editor's Note
Three years ago, Apple announced the introduction of its new iPad. As soon as Steve Jobs did his magician's act and unveiled the tablet in front of thousands of spellbound reporters, I told people I wanted one. "Why?" they asked. "I don't know," I said. I already owned an iPod and a MacBook. What specific need did I have that only a tablet computer could fulfill? "I can read ebooks," I said. "Why not get a Kindle then?" I had no real answer to that question other than that the iPad just seemed . . . cooler.
I have always been an early adopter of technology (or what is known in the tech world as "a sucker"). Looking back, however, I am not sure that my attraction to the iPad was a totally irrational impulse. I was the first person in my circle to own a tablet, and after my friends and co-workers remarked on the greasiness of its glass screen, they almost all agreed that my new toy was a wondrous invention — although it was hard to articulate why.
True to my predictions, I began reading books and magazines on my iPad. At first I'd wondered whether digital editions would supplant printed books in my life, but that hasn't been the case. Instead I find myself preferring the electronic version of some titles and the ink-on-paper version of others. I remain a great booster of print, which I expect will have a long and healthy life well into the future. As long as doctors make us stew in waiting rooms, there will be a need for dog-eared magazines to soften our impatience.
But there is clearly also a place for tablets in our culture, now that the iPad has been joined by the Kindle Fire and the Nexus and the Nook. Recently, the Pew Research Center determined that 25 percent of Americans own a tablet computer (not including those who own a dedicated e-reader). For once, I seem to have adopted a technology that wasn't just a flash in the pan.
This is all a longwinded way of making my own Steve Jobs-like announcement. Starting with this issue, Down East will now be available in a digital edition, complete with all sorts of features like pinch-and-zoom viewing, multimedia extras, and links to resources on the Web. At first, it will only be available on the Apple iOS Newsstand, but we will be rolling it out quickly onto the Android and other platforms (it might already be available by the time you read this). A single electronic issue costs $3.99, or you can buy a year's subscription for $19.99.
What does this mean for the printed magazine, which we will continue to publish as we have for nearly sixty years? I anticipate that some subscribers will switch to digital but in general we will see more people than ever reading some version of Down East. How confident am I in this prediction? Not to boast or anything, but I did guess right about the iPad. . . .
Paul Doiron
Digital edition
As a subscriber of the printed magazine and an iPad user, I would like access to both versions under a single subscription. Appears that they are separate subscriptions now.

However, many may remember another long-range overhead goal scored in The FA Cup by former England winger Trevor Sinclair.
But it's not our place to say which is the best, so we're letting fans vote for their favourite.
You can watch both goals together in the FATV player below and make your own mind up.
Trevor Sinclair v Barnsley, 25 January 1997
Sinclair's strike, from the edge of the box, came for Queens Park Rangers in an FA Cup Fourth Round tie against Barnsley at Loftus Road. The winger capped 12 times for England had both feet off the ground as he volleyed the ball home for what proved to be the clincher in Rangers' 3-2 win.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic v England, 14 November 2012
Having already bagged a hat-trick to help Sweden come from behind against Roy Hodgson's side, it was the mercurial striker's insticts that sealed a 4-2 victory in injury time. Joe Hart's header failed to clear the Swede and, with his back to goal, Ibrahimovic rose to send his overhead kick from 25 yards looping into the Three Lions goal.
But which one do you think is best?
Watch the video of the two acrobatic efforts and then cast your vote...

The vast majority of parapsychic powers do NOT manifest as freeform pyrokinesis or rotating thunder kicks.
Changing the Maddux is a difficult as changing the weather. And like the storm on the horizon, all one can do when Maddux sings is to prepare yourself as best you can.
"And Arathinos brandished the Foe-Reaper, and let loose a battle cry. He stood, with rain pouring out of the heavens, on a mountain of bodies. The rain washed the blood through channels in the corpses. Arathinos raised the Foe-Reaper and saluted the fleeing enemies before him, as lightning crashed around him.
The Foe-Reaper is a great blade. With the years spent in Arathinos's hands, it has taken up a myriad of powers. And most prominent among those powers is dramatic effect. What is more morale-sapping than seeing your enemy with a backdrop of lightning, as if the arrows of the heavens stand with your foe?"

Science has many answers, and with the advent of hypertechnology and arcanotechnology it seemed that there were no questions left to be conquered. But the manifestation of parapsychic abilities, wastelands, and the 'Storm' left many questions and no answers.
Because, after a while, even the oldest adventurer will need a place to settle as he grows tired.

MADDS - the impregnable Planetary fortress system of the 25th Century
A scholar and his student sat in the garden, drinking wine, breaking bread and pondering.
And so the student asked the scholar "O' great and wise Master please answer to me this; what word should describe the practice every man and every woman should do at all times?"
With no hesitance, the scholar replied "O' learned disciple, 'Reciprocity' is the word ye seek."

"Anyone can draw a map, boy - there's no more difficulty in that than laying brick. What makes maps useful is when they are so proper, so precise, that they are living images of the places they represent.

- Sage Pakpao Sasithorn, Chief Lecturer, the Ezagun-Darkbolt College of Cartogramancy
Old cultures since the dawn of written time have seen pictures in the night sky and asked questions of them. Who they were, where did they come from, and why do they return? The earliest efforts to distinguish these nightly visitors and give them names and meanings dates back to before the Contention of Aborior. Those first observations were different than what is seen today but most still hold true to their original origins.
Loud war-screams shatter the silence of the forest. The party, scrambling quickly over the thick forest floor, are ambushed by savage elves, dropping down from the trees and rock outcroppings. Their hair is cropped into mohawks and their arms are striped with tattoos.
They attack, and scalp unfortunate victims.

Hod Lipson works at the intersection of engineering and biology, studying robots and the way they "behave" and evolve. His work has exciting implications for design and manufacturing -- and serves as a window to understand our own behavior and evolution.
To say that Hod Lipson and his team at Cornell build robots is not completely accurate: They may simply set out a pile of virtual robot parts, devise some rules for assembly, and see what the parts build themselves into. They've created robots that decide for themselves how they want to walk; robots that develop a sense of what they look like; even robots that can, through trial and error, construct other robots just like themselves.
Working across disciplines -- physics, computer science, math, biology and several flavors of engineer -- the team studies techniques for self-assembly and evolution that have great implications for fields such as micro-manufacturing -- allowing tiny pieces to assemble themselves at scales heretofore impossible -- and extreme custom manufacturing (in other words, 3-D printers for the home).
His lab's Outreach page is a funhouse of tools and instructions, including the amazing Golem@Home -- a self-assembling virtual robot who lives in your screensaver.

Anytime we're having a bad day or the weather is too cold or we're daydreaming at work…the first place we long to go to is the beach. Frozen mango margarita in hand, waves crashing at our feet, white sand beneath our toes, a perfect breeze under sunny skies, and a figure-flattering bikini, hugging us in all the right places. Ugh, someone fly us somewhere tropical ASAP! In honor of the bikini's 65 year anniversary (not to mention the countdown to summertime!) here's a look at the short history of our favorite swim style.
Because the design came out with such a bang and revolutionized the swimwear industry forever, the itsy, bitsy bikini was named after the Bikini Apollo nuclear test site – a fitting name for the lasting impact the design has made! Designer Jacques Heim hoped that the "bikini" design would have a similar shock among people. Now, navel is in!
But, not everybody embraced the controversial design like the French. In the 1950's Miss World competition, the United States and other Catholic countries banned contestants from sporting the design.
When the bikini finally made its way across the pond, a little magazine called Sports Illustrated (you might have heard of it) published their first ever Swimsuit Issue in 1964. The bikini's nuclear effects are now forever felt by men and women all over the world!
In a drastic turn of aesthetic, the tankini was the next style to shake up swim design, offering more support and revealing less skin than the traditional bikini. Created to embrace the curves on women of every size, tankinis reflected everything we loved about one-piece swimwear: more support, scrunching, cinching, halter-straps and more body coverage.
And you're probably not surprised that we've come almost full circle, this season's swimwear is inspired by the retro designs of high waists and hip-covering shorts. So to the swimsuit "smaller than the world's smallest swimsuit", we women of the world salute you! (And men, well we're sure they do, too.) You've made our bodies feel voluptuous, our curves proud, quenched our need for delicious designs, and turned us into worthy beach goddesses. Here's to the next 65!

We have had our Ultra for a few days now. We also had the LeapPad and the LeapPad 2. We decided we needed to upgrade for the bigger screen and wifi. There is so much we love about the Ultra! The screen is HUGE. The size of an ipad mini screen. The Ultra is built TOUGH. Its heavier than the LeapPad 2, but that is to be expected due to its large size. It comes with a built in battery, no need to purchase batteries or a battery pack on this device. The Ultra comes with a charger for at home, and a USB cable. You can also purchase a car charger for this device. My favorite upgraded features are the 7 inch screen, the kid safe LeapSearch which allows your child to surf content that Leapfrog has deemed safe. There are categories of video's and websites like NickJr.com, PBS kids, Barbie, ThinkQuest, Highlights Kids, Funology, NASA, and many more! I also love that there is an upgraded Pet Pad Party app which allows you to pick from a wide variety of pets, design them, design their home, play tick tack toe and all sorts of fun things! My daughter really enjoys that feature. For those who have 2 children who will have Ultras there are peer to peer features where your children can play against each other (or any other Ultra user in the same room). Games like Cart Racing and Roly Poly World, but you can select the learning level for each child so the questions will be geared for that child while they are playing on their device! Another great feature on the device is a APP CENTER APP, where you can purchase and download apps right from the device. You can only do this is parent mode of course, and you have to enter a code that you choose to purchase an app. I love that you can also purchase apps from the app center at Leapfrog.com, or from Leapfrog Connect on your computer and once the Ultra is turned on it will start downloading your purchases with no need to connect via USB. I really like the fact that the stylus is pushed into the side of the device, and that the volume buttons are at the top, and the power button is on the side. The only buttons on the front are the d-pad and home buttons. I have noticed that with the Ultra you can use the d-pad in games where you normally tilt the device to move objects or characters. I'm not sure if that was a possibility in the previous LeapPad devices? Its great to have the option.I highly recommend this device. Its perfect, safe, fun, big screen, wifi included, tough, will grow with your child, and Leapfrogs educational content can't be beat. We have tried Vtech products, and we own a Kindle Fire and Ipad, but my daughter still chooses her LeapPad to play with. I love that I don't have to worry about anything she is looking at or playing with, and I know that she is LEARNING from content designed by education professionals. I have never found the quality of content anywhere else, that LeapFrog offers. Ipad apps may be cheaper, or free, but the content is just not there. You get what you pay for with Leapfrog, they stand behind their products. I don't mind the cost to ensure that my child is learning as we use our device for educational entertainment. If you are looking at buying your child a learning tablet, this one simply can't be beat. We are thrilled with it. I'd suggest not waiting to long to purchase if you are thinking of this being a Christmas gift. Its sure to be a sell out!! Thank you for another great product Leapfrog!

I bought this for my two year old daughter hoping to gear her tablet experience to educational games only. The 11 apps that come with the tablet are not games which was very disappointing. I got the leappad programmed and found that we had no games and had to buy them still (ranging from $10 to $25). I downloaded one game for ten dollars to test it out and found the leappad to be VERY glitchy. I am no computer whiz but for the money we paid we were hoping for a lot more. The wait time for simple apps and games to load was much longer than we expected. I will be returning this and getting a Nabi2 on Black Friday.

About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children, Working Parent
The product met my expectations somehow. My daughter is having a great time learning with it. It has preaty good teaching/gaming software which is a plus. It can't connect to any other site that's not LeapFrog, which I find a little too much. You tube with parenting controls would've been awesome in case they neet to watch a school mandated video or other good apps for instance.

A North Codorus Township man shot his wife, then turned the gun on himself in a murder-suicide inside their home Thursday.
James Witte, 42, shot his wife, Holly Witte, 41, and then killed himself, according to Southwestern Regional Police.
They were the only people in the home at the time of the incident, and no notes were left, York County Chief Deputy Coroner Claude Stabley said.
Stabley has ruled the incident a murder-suicide. No autopsies are planned, according to the coroner's office.
Police were summoned to the Witte home in the 1900 block of Stoverstown Road about 4:30 p.m. after a family member found the couple dead and called 911.
James Witte had called the family member and said he was going to shoot his wife and then himself, police said. The family member went to the home and found the Wittes dead, police said.
The motive for the murder-suicide appears to be marital discord, police said.
Children: The couple moved to the two-story brick home six or seven years ago, said Roger Shaw, a neighbor who lives down the street.
They lived there with their 7-year-old son, police said. Holly Witte also has three daughters from a previous relationship.
The son was taken out of the house earlier on Thursday by Holly Witte and left in the care of a neighbor across the street, according to Shaw.
Southwestern Regional Police Chief Greg Bean said that's because James and Holly Witte intended to have a discussion about the problems in their relationship.
The boy is now staying with family members, Bean said.
'Don't understand': Shaw said he saw no indication there were marital problems between James and Holly Witte. He often saw them playing in the back yard with their son.
"I thought they were getting along," Shaw said.
James Witte would often help Shaw with odd jobs, such as shoveling snow, at his home.
Next-door neighbor Mike Kushla also said nothing seemed afoul with the couple and that they always seemed to get along with each other.
"I never saw any signs of arguing," he said.
Often no signs: Bean said that's not uncommon in domestic murder-suicides.
"So often, these are cases where there are no signs something is dramatically wrong," he said. "Time and time again, we hear friends and family say there were no warnings whatsoever that the depth of hatred was life-threatening."
However, Bean noted that some of the couple's friends and family told officers they had concerns about the Wittes' relationship.
Police were never called to the Witte home before Thursday, the chief said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Sgt. Lisa Layden at 225-1333, ext. 115.

In the last 10 years that I have been in online business, I tried many web designers, SEO companies and online marketing agents. Most of them seem to have copy-paste techniques of creating low calibre online visibility that not only fails to deliver long term business leads but gets you penalized by google at some point. I have been working with BuxUp guys for about a year now and they stand out. They are attentive, always at the other end of the line and I feel there is a sense of 'partnership' and business ownership with these guys that is missing from most others. Well done guys.

Chinatown Shopping Adventures
I have been looking for a simple, spacious, and more "classy" bag to lug around all my crap when I go out or to work. Basically, something more professional than the backpack I've been rocking. I have quickly started noticing a trend with a specific bag. Nondescript, decent size, and a variety of colors. EVERYONE has it.
I caved into the madness. I really wanted to figure out who made it and how much it cost. There were several times I came close to stopping and asking one of the many women carrying it. Close!
Then I remembered, Google knows everything.
"Nylon solid colored bags with leather straps" was the only thing I could go off, and it worked.
Then I saw the price tag.
Seeing as I'm in NYC and cheap, I went off to do research about shopping for handbags in Chinatown. :P
I even went to Bloomingdale's and one of the flaship stores in the city to check out the colors and size options. Obsessed much?
Ventured into Chinatown one day after work just to get familiarized with the streets and pricing, but everything seemed to be closing up shop at that time. Some store owners didn't know what I was talking about when I simply asked "Longchamp?"
In one instance, the store owner pointed me to the back of his store and pushed in the wall to reveal a secret closet. He motioned for me to go in before him and I thought, "OK sure why not, but please don't kill me." I asked for a price. About $100 off the retail price. I tried to get him to go lower but he wasn't budging. I also wasn't carrying any cash so it was more of a practice run. At another shop, they had a walkie talkie with someone one on the other end waiting for an order to bring something to the store. The price was a few bucks cheaper but when they brought me the bag I was disappointed with the quality. So I went home and planned to come back some other day.
Today was more fun. I crashed at a new friend's place last night in Midtown, and instead of going back home, I headed to Chinatown during the tourist rush.
I got out of the subway and stopped by La Colombe Torrefaction for iced coffee. My summer bucketlist includes visiting as many different coffee shops in the city as possible.
It was busy when I walked in so I was glad I was just getting coffee to go.
After that I started scouring the side streets I had checked out before but I there didn't seem to be much action. Then I started walking up Canal and started seeing the walkie talkies again. I also started hearing: "Handbag? Coach? Prada?"
So I slowed down and responded with:
What color you want?
Large brown. How much?
Ahh, I can get it cheaper.
How much?
No I give it to you fo $60 dolla
No sorry, thanks.
And then I started walking away.
I saw the woman hold up 5 fingers and yelled for me to come back with "Miss miss I give it to you for $55!"
So I countinued my trek up the street and saw another woman with a small bag filled with DVDs and decided to ask again. She pointed me to another woman that was the designated bag wrangler. Instead of walkie talkies, this woman was rocking a bluetooth headset. There were other buyers standing around waiting for their "orders." This crew seemed to be dominating the block.
So I decided to start haggling again. They were selling for the same price but were more willing to budge when I started to leave. I started at $35 again and the decreased the price by $10 the more I pestered. We eventually settled on $40 when I told them that's all I had in cash. Mission complete.
In the end, I walked away with a large purple bag. I also saw another girl pay the same price for a medium sized Le Pliage. Win? Let's see how long this baby lasts.

December 6, 2013
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -- Birmingham City leaders are set to cut the ribbon on a new terminal at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport.
Reports say the terminal will feature 13 new gates, a ticketing counter a new security checkpoint area and a new baggage claim area.
The new terminal is part of a $201 million modernization project being done in two phases. Airport officials say the modernization project brings the new terminals into compliance with TSA regulations that were passed after the September 11th attacks.
Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport is the largest airport in the state and served more than 2.8 million passengers in 2012.

Online Reservations
Want a great meal no matter which item you happen to choose from the menu? This place is it. I've been here upward of 15 times and try something different just about each time. All delicious. I have never been disappointed. Generally, I prefer small portion sizes but I appreciate the generous portion sizes here. The food is so good that I always want more than my appetite can handle. (I suppose I should consider doggy bags going forward.) The servers are very professional, very friendly and know the menu inside out. If you have any allergies or dietary restrictions, the servers will be able to help you out. They are familiar with all of the ingredients and are happy to make substitutions where possible. TURKEY BURGER. Try it. Do it. Now.
Delicious fresh and unique food with excellent customer service. Was a fun place to take a friend visiting Canada. I would definitely go back.
Staff was very helpful and engaging. Food was excellent. Felt like home cooking but at an elevated level
Food was great. We ordered multiple dishes and the wait was quite long. I thought that at least the salad should have been served while we were waiting. Then voila...everything came all at once. The duck poutine pizza tasted very salty compared to the past. Otherwise, we were satisfied with everything else.
This was my second time I enjoyed the first time I was at Bannock so I decided to come again for a co workers 40th Birthday lunch celebration! My experience was the same amazing right from the ambiance, food and staff. The staff know the menu so well, provide recommendations and are so friendly!! Everyone that attended the lunch said they thought it was a wonderful place and would definitely come again. They all said the meal was delicious!! Thank you for the great food and hospitality, we love Bannock!!!!! Sonia :)
This was the first time I dined at Bannock so I didn't know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised at both the atmosphere and food quality. Definitely going again in the future.
We started with the poutine which was awesome. Usually I'm not a fan of green onions but in this dish is worked! The entrees were good, although my steak could have been warmer, and the service was a bit slow. However, our server was very friendly and attentive. For dessert we ordered the smores pie which was delicious! I look forward to my next visit to Bannock.
I had very high expectations for their duck poutine pizza and, as the title suggests, I was not disappointed. The food arrived very promptly and our server and hostess were wonderful, not very intrusive but ensured that my date and I were waited. The seats were a tad close together but it did not take away from my night. What really stole the show was the bannock bannock! Highly recommend everyone try the restaurant's namesake. I can not wait to go back to try everything else on the menu.
had an excellent experience at this restaurant. Chose to eat the duck poutine pizza again as is my favorite. Be aware noise level can get quite high.. Overall a good meal.
Great twist on the traditional Mac and cheese! Sauce was creamy and not too heavy. The greens added a healthier touch.
You can never go wrong with a Bonaccini restaurant. My eggs benedict was perfect. My 10-year-old son also enjoyed brunch and the blended juices.
Second time at Bannock, and I was able to try the menu item I had skipped the previous time in favour of the special. I have liked everything I have eaten here, Bannock has a great mix of dishes for anyone in your group. I would definitely recommend and return myself.
As a part of the family of O&B restaurants, the food was overall was fantastic. My one critique was that the pasta in my mushroom gnocchi was overcooked, which left it mushy and unappealing. Otherwise, the dish was flavourful with one of the best pasta sauces I've ever had. All the food and drinks were served promptly. Bannock was also highly accommodating of our constantly changing guestlist (we had to increase the list twice and finally ended up with 13 guests). Our server, Kelly, provided us with stellar service despite our group being so large. All in all, everyone had a wonderful experience and have said that they would definitely return.
I had passed by Bannock a million times and never thought twice about it. I ended up there with a group of girlfriends and was very impressed. Great food and service at a reasonable price. We went Friday night and took our time eating and catching up and I never once felt that they were in a rush to get us out of there. I would definitely go back and recommend it to others.
Loved the food, and the waitress was very good and friendly.
We had a table in the corner, a little bit away from other diners and I believe this location helped to decrease the ambient noise level. The food was very nice. The waiter was efficient yet did not stand over us, he returned to the table occasionally to see if everything was alright we appreciated this, I for one do not like a waiter constantly interrupting our conversation. We would return to this restaurant but table location is very important. I noticed many of the tables were side by side and I for one do not like this, just too close to the people beside you.
Our server was great and the pizza special with caramelized onions and anchovies was amazing and so as the more's dessert!
I brought friends from out of town for Sunday Brunch at Bannock. I made a reservation so we were seated immediately. The menu was just the right length and everything sounded delicious. Five of us ordered five different meals and every one of them was delicious. Well prepared and imaginative food. My friends were very impressed. The server was excellent as well.
We attended Bannock as part of a special 'thank you' to part time staff in our department at the University of Toronto. The ambience, food, and prices were great. The service was particularly impressive... although we were a large group of 12 people, we were served promptly, given advice on menu items and food all arrived at the same time - it was perfect.
Excellent food and service. I will gladly recommend Bannock. In fact I was there with 3 other people, it was their first time and they thorougly enjoyed it too. It it my quest to work my way through the entire menu, however I am stuck on the haddock and shrimp cake. Oh yes, and the butter tart, wow it's soooo yummy. However, at my next visit I am definetly trying the sheppard pie. Again great restaurant, great food, great service
Great spot to grab a bite to eat before heading to a dowtown show. Food was excellent, fresh and many of the ingredients were local. I loved the relaxed feel of this place. I thoroughly enjoyed the pork sholder special. Perfect for a cool evening. It fell apart and the spaetzel and cabbage were the perfect accompaniment. My wife had the turkey burger. Incredible flavour and so juicy extra napkins were required. We will definitely return. Prices were reasonable and service friendly. My only complaint was that the noise level was a bit high due to all the hard surfaces. Seems to be the trend with restaurants these days.
Everything about the night was superb. Each bite was delicious, the price point was perfect, and all-in-all it was a wonderful evening
Great food as usual but we just ended up with a bit too much to finish and the pot pie was too hot to eat for maybe 15 mins, real first world problems here. Everything was fantastic as usual, the only thing I didn't like (as I've never come with this few people) was that the 2-person tables are so close together that you can barely get in to sit down, plus the people next to you are so close you can't help but overhear every word, eg our left-hand neighbour having a hot flash before their Bon Jovi concert. Our neighbours ended up joining our talk about board games for a few minutes which was nice, but we still enjoyed ourselves more once our left and right tables had cleared out to give us some space.
Lots of selection, food was fast, decent price and great service
I had the BLT Bannock & it was delicious. The belly bacon just melts in your mouth. There were four of us & everyone had something different to eat & everyone enjoyed their meal. Our waiter was friendly & knowledgeable about the food. All in all a great lunch.
This was my second time at Bannock and I returned with a party of 13 people! Our server, Marcel, was charming, non-pretentious and knew his menu very well. He even took the time to individually chat with each customer and answered all questions with patience. The table enjoyed poutines (which were lukewarm but very tasty) and many signature cocktails (maple rum, etc). All of my guests were impressed with the food: shepherd's pie, burger, steaks, trout, mac and cheese, and gnocchi. I had left a simple note in my reservation that it was my birthday and I was graciously given a lovely gluten-free bowl of sorbet with a kick of cinnamon (or something) in it. It was delicious! My party really enjoyed Bannock and kept telling me "good find!"
Delicious food and great service! Love the atmosphere. Perfect place to go to take a break from Christmas (or other) shopping! I like it so much the first time I went that I returned the following week.
The food was great and the service was good but the restaurant was way too hot. We were told the temperature couldn't be controlled, and it's not that I didn't believe them, but it was ridiculous. I'll eat there again but I probably as a last minute option and not as a planned meal.
We had a very good dining experience as a group. I would definitely go again, though I think the food is somewhat overpriced and the selection of desserts is dismal. Excellent service though. Very cozy and warm atmosphere.
Interesting dishes -- all fresh and tasty as usual!
It was so great great to have tasty veg options that were not only pasta!
I went twice in one week, once for lunch and once for dinner. Both times the service was exceptional, friendly and efficient. The veggie wrap was a real treat, more flavour than I expected. The Arcadian Court chicken pot pie was a throw back to a kinder gentler time. It was good but the garlic overwhelmed the overall taste. I would try it again to see if it was a one time experience. By the end of both meals, the noise level was quite high so I personally would continue to go on the earlier side. It will continue to be a go-to place for me though.
Great lunch place. Very energetic. Interesting menu items with unique blend of flavors. The pumpkin puree soup was the best thing I had in Toronto that weekend.
It was a great Canadian experience. The two entrees that we order were delicious. I ordered the flat iron steak, cooked perfectly and my husband ordered the smoked oxtongue sandwich. My husband commented it was the best it had ever tasted. We will be returning as there were other items that we wanted to try.
Amazing food and lots of unique fresh menu items We all loved it
I took my team of volunteers to Bannock on a Tuesday evening to thank them for all their efforts. Our server was excellent with just the right amount of attentiveness and came off as truly passionate about the food. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered and had a fantastic time.
I'd heard about Bannock over a year ago but had not had an opportunity to try it. I took a gamble and tried it and invited someone who does not live in Toronto and had not tried it before either. I won that bet and my colleague has not stopped raving about it. I'll be inviting others to try Bannock - with or without me.
I am gluten free and dairy free and found the kitchen to be very accommodating. The salad was delicious (green) with lots of goodies in it. My lamb pot pie and my husbands tuna dish were very generous and tasty. No room for dessert and they even had sorbet for me. The waiter had a great personality and was very knowledgable. He actually remembered us and we hadn't been there for over a year. Will definitely go back.
We went there for dinner on a Thursday night. It was our fourth time there. Each time has been a great experience. They have creative and tasty juices (hot and cold options), very good comfort food, and delicious desserts. I recommend the Smore's pie as a unique and sweet treat to the end the evening.
Food is unique and very good however I was disappointed with the spacing between the tables..just too close.
Bannock, as always, provides great Canadian food with a twist. Wonderful service, yummy apps and mains, and a perfect location if you are visiting downtown Toronto and want to be close to other hot spots.
The harvest sangria with cranberries was our favourite drink here. It also has a vibrant ambience and a well lit space (but not too bright). Portions in general are pretty large -- that duck poutine pizza is delicious, though! Dinner was quite enjoyable. Service was on a slower side, but it was a full restaurant and the servers were friendly.
fried bologna....now I am not going to fault anyone for this because it is at the end of the day...fried bologna. However, it might be helpful to explain in the menu that this is, lets be honest, a standard 3 eggs breakfast. Everything was cooked perfectly, tasted great...I might have had more of that delicious ketchup on hand. I had heard that the service was horrible at Bannock...that was not my experience, our guy was nice, attentive and helpful.
Comfort food, great service, quality establishment. A winner every time.
First time here and won't be my last. The food was bang on and VERY good! Lord every moment and every bite.
Great food & service at an affordable price. Only problem I could see is there is only 2 washroom stalls for both men and women combined for a fairly large seating space. Wait time took long.
The food was very good, but not exceptional. Price was very well worth it though. The restaurant was uncomfortably hot and the noise was a bit too loud, but the atmosphere was good and the evening meal went well.
Great variety on the menu, with interesting ingredients and combinations. I've dined here many times and we have always had a very enjoyable meal.
We are a group who travel across Canada and look forward to dining at new restaurants on our travels. This is the second time at this location and it did not disappoint. The pot pie was delicious and the octopus dish should really have "SO GOOD!" next to the name. I cannot wait to eat that plate of yumminess again on our return trip in February! This restaurant is the real deal for 5 stars in all areas of dining.
Tried Bannock for lunch with a friend and were very happy with amazing food and service. We ordered brick chicken (which was wonderful with sauteed vegetables) and Marguerita Pizza (also great) and also shared unforgettable S'mores pie! Thank you, Bannock for delicious food and great service - we will definitely return for more! :)

Whether they are blasting apart subatomic particles in accelerators, sequencing the genome or analyzing the wobble of a distant star, the experiments that grab the world's attention often cost millions of dollars to execute and produce torrents of data to be processed over months by supercomputers. Some research groups have grown to the size of small companies.
But ultimately science comes down to the individual mind grappling with something mysterious. When Robert P. Crease, a member of the philosophy department at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and the historian at Brookhaven National Laboratory, recently asked physicists to nominate the most beautiful experiment of all time, the 10 winners were largely solo performances, involving at most a few assistants. Most of the experiments -- which are listed in this month's Physics World -- took place on tabletops and none required more computational power than that of a slide rule or calculator.
What they have in common is that they epitomize the elusive quality scientists call beauty. This is beauty in the classical sense: the logical simplicity of the apparatus, like the logical simplicity of the analysis, seems as inevitable and pure as the lines of a Greek monument. Confusion and ambiguity are momentarily swept aside, and something new about nature becomes clear.

Hoard's Dairyman Dairy News
As printed in our December 2013 issue...
ECONOMIC INDICATORS ARE POINTING UP for most key dairy measures. December to May Class III milk futures climbed $1.10 from early November trading. Those six contracts averaged $18.18 per cwt.
THE MILK-FEED RATIO CONTINUED TO IMPROVE as November posted a 2.25 benchmark. At $21.30 All-Milk price, the total feed bill was $9.46 per hundredweight for an income over feed cost of $11.84.
NOVEMBER CORN WAS $4.29 PER BUSHEL, down $2.72 per bushel from the same time last year, according to USDA's Agricultural Prices. Soybean prices also eased by $1.60 to settle at $12.70. Hay prices remained historically high as crop farmers rushed to plant more grain.
LOWER FEED PRICES HAVE TRICKLED DOWN everywhere as grain farmers are holding on to the new crop to minimize taxable income. This situation, and reduced milling activity, hasn't relieved by-product prices.
OCTOBER CHEESE OUTPUT ROSE 2.1 PERCENT compared to last year; butter was up 1.2 percent. Cheese inventories for the month rose 3 percent. However, butter dropped 25 percent due to strong sales.
MILK PRODUCTION ROSE 1 PERCENT nationally in October compared to a year earlier. Among major states, California, rose 1 percent; Wisconsin, up 0.9; Idaho, down 2.7; New York, up 2.8; and Pennsylvania, up 0.2.
IN JUST 10 MONTHS, DAIRY EXPORTS have already topped last year's record. At the current pace, U.S. dairy exports will top $6.6 billion, which would be 30 percent higher than the prior year. On a total solids basis, October exports were 16.3 percent of U.S. production; imports 3.4 percent.
PRODUCT PRICES ROSE 3.9 PERCENT in early December trading held at the Global Dairy Trade. The nine-product mix averaged $2.26 per pound.
DAIRY COW CULLING remained ahead of last year's pace as 2.7 million cows were sent to packing plants through November 16. That was 34,100 head more than last year. Prices averaged $80.50 per cwt.
THERE ARE SIGNS A NEW FARM BILL may still get hammered out. However, with Congress scheduled for recess on December 13, a one-month extension of the previous bill may be required to bridge the gap.
DRUG USE AND TREATMENT were reclarified when the American Association of Bovine Practitioners updated its "Veterinary-Client-Patient Relationship" (VCPR) document. The VCPR is required by FDA.
BRIEFLY: Interest rates were creeping up with 30-year fixed loans at 4.46 percent; 15-year at 3.47. Commercial rates are higher. Dean Foods was on pace to close 10 to 15 percent of its plants in an effort to reduce costs. Through October, heifer exports surpassed last year at 53,600 head.

WHY YAKIMA LAWSUITS MATTER TO EVERY DAIRY PRODUCER. Lawsuits are underway that, if successful, will set an environmental precedent that potentially threatens the existence of every farm in the U.S.
