STAFF: susan mcmahon
Brownfields are land and buildings whose expansion, redevelopment, or reuse
may be complicated by the presence or potential presence
of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant.
The Windham Region Brownfields Reuse Initiative (WRBRI) was established in 2000 with funding from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Since that time we have been working hard to promote vibrant communities by facilitating brownfields redevelopment.
EPA recently announced that the Windham Regional Commission will receive $400,000 in EPA Brownfields Assessment Grant funds (petroleum and hazardous substances) and 1 million dollars to establish a Revolving Loan Fund for Brownfields Clean Up.
Now Accepting Applications for Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund
The Windham Regional Commission is accepting applicants for the Windham Region Brownfields Reuse Initiative Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund (WRBRI-RLF). The WRBRI-RLF provides loans and grants to facilitate cleanup of contaminated properties (brownfields) in the towns of the Windham Regional Commission's (WRC) service area. The purpose of this program is to assist in the revitalization of these properties to promote jobs and a cleaner environment for the communities in the WRC Region. It is intended that these loans and grants will fill funding gaps needed for the successful cleanup and ultimate redevelopment of Brownfields. Loan funds are available to public, private and nonprofit owners who comply with the eligibility requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency; grants are available to eligible municipalities and nonprofit owners of brownfield properties.
Property owners or prospective purchasers of brownfield properties must fill out the eligibility form to determine whether the property is eligible to receive EPA funds. Once EPA approval has been granted to a site, the applicant will be notified and will then fill out Part B of the application form (coming soon)."
WRC, State Celebrate Grant Awards with Gov. Shumlin and EPA
Governor Shumlin and EPA Region I Administrator Curt Spaulding visited Guilford in July to present $2 million in EPA Brownfields grants: $600,000 to the State of Vermont, and $1.4 million to the Windham Regional Commission. This funding allows both the State and the WRC to continue their successful programs assessing, cleaning up, and redeveloping Brownfield sites.

Julia Henderson may be getting on in years, but her mind is sharp.
When she closes her eyes, she can still see it.
"I was in my early 20s," said Henderson, who is now in her 80s. "The AME Church was the center of the Adamsville community. Behind the church, I remember seeing mounds where bodies were buried. They were unmarked. There were no names."
Today, those reflections have been clouded by visions of men with land-clearing machinery, then putting up barbed wire fencing around the church yard, and finally letting cattle run free on the land.
Although it hasn't been definitely confirmed about what puts more nitrates into Levy County water, septic systems or fertilizers, experts told the county commission last week ways to reduce contaminants by using a new septic system.
Dr. Mark Hooks of the Florida Department of Health spoke at length on advanced septic tank systems, or performance-based systems, that actually remove more nitogen, a byproduct of human waste, before the water from the tank hits the drainfield and eventually the groundwater.
BRONSON - Levy County's voters did not go exactly like the rest of Florida's constituents, but the votes were similar overall.
With 100 percent of the votes counted in Levy County by 9 p.m. on Jan. 29, Hillary Clinton took 40.64 percent (2,235) of the Democrats' votes and John McCain garnered 31.44 percent (1,102) of the Republicans' votes, according to Supervisor of Elections Connie Asbell.
Chiefland High volleyball coach Emily Gore revisited the 2007 season last Thursday night, Jan. 24, with a banquet honoring the players held in the school cafeteria.
The Lady Indians posted a 12-12 record, but more importantly, finished district runnerup and qualified for regional action.
The second of two wins in one day ranks as the most memorable moment. Chiefland avenged two losses to Dixie County during the regular season with the big victory over the Lady Bears in the district tournament semifinals.
BRONSON –For senior night, Bronson girls basketball head coach Greg Hamilton got a special present – his team at full strength. Due to one thing or another – illness, injury, holidays – he's never had a full complement on the floor, during this, one of the Lady Eagles' best years.
On Friday, his team beat Cedar Key 46-21 with a full crew, and what a crew it was.
The future of the Chiefland High girls basketball looks bright.
The Lady Indian junior varsity basketball team finished up a fine season on Tuesday, Jan. 22, with a 37-30 victory over visiting Taylor County.
Chiefland finished with a record of 6-2.
C.J. Jack led Chiefland with 12 points. Madalyn McCray and Janessa Barrios each chipped in with 10 points apiece. Charlene Davis had five points.
Coach Emily Gore was encouraged by the JVs solid season. The two losses were close encounters against Yonge.
The Chiefland Middle School boys and girls basketball teams saw their seasons end on Thursday, Jan. 24, as Williston teams left town with SMAC Tournament victories.
The Braves hung in there for a spell, but Williston had a huge second half and rolled to a 60-22 decision.
Chiefland?s final record was 7-9. Coach Andy Kidd was happy considering his team got of to a 2-5 start.
Against Williston, the Braves trailed 27-18 at halftime. The second half was a different story, as Williston outscored the locals 33-4.
With Friday night's 55-42 district win over Trenton, the final district game of the regular season for Bronson, the Eagles can take one quick look over the last week of their season before leaping into the district tournament.
Their 9-3 district finish is probably good for the second or third seed in the tournament, head coach Kelly Beckham thinks.
"We're tied with Oak Hall for our district record, but they may have the tiebreak over us because I think they beat Mayo twice and we split with them," he explained.
The Chiefland Area Athletic Association will hold youth baseball and softball signups from 5-7 p.m. every Friday and from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. every Saturday at Strickland Park.
The divisions available include Bandeleros (4 years old), T-Ball (5-6), Rookie (7-8), Minors (9-10), Majors (11-12) and Juniors (13-15).
The registration fee is $65. There will be a $25 late fee on registrations after Feb. 23.
Coaches are also needed.
For more information, call 493-0657, 493-4225 or 493-1716.
NEWBERRY –The Chiefland High boys basketball team had a strong performance on the road on Friday night, but the host Newberry Panthers were able to hold off the Indians, 77-64.
Chiefland dropped its eighth straight game. The Indians are 7-15 overall and 1-9 in district play.
Chiefland finishes up this week at home against Lafayette County on Tuesday night and Interlachen Thursday night.
Thursday night is also senior night as the 12th graders will be honored.

Set in a hyper-connected modern-day Chicago, "Watch Dogs" is full of virtual versions of real places. Between shootouts and car chases, gamers can even check in to and learn about more than 100 hot spots throughout the city, Foursquare-style.But did Canadian developer Ubisoft Montreal do Chicago justice? RedEye grabbed a controller to play watchdog on "Watch Dogs."
The Loop
Willis Tower, check. Streets named for dead presidents, check. Minor quibbles aside (The Bean looks more like a giant, yogurt-covered raisin), this is a near-picture-perfect downtown. Look closely and you can even see some RedEye-shaped newspaper boxes.
SCORE: 4 stars
River North/Magnificent Mile
It's been renamed "Mad Mile," but otherwise this historic shopping and tourist district is relatively spot-on. The John Hancock Center, Water Tower and Navy Pier (sans Ferris wheel) all resemble their counterparts.
SCORE: 3.5 stars
The North Side
The Gold Coast is represented, but most North Side neighborhoods have disappeared. An area called Parker Square on the West Side appears to be a weird hybrid of Lakeview, Humboldt Park and ... the suburbs?
SCORE 1.5 stars
The South Side
Divided into an industrial/shipping district (Brandon Docks) and a poorer area dominated by violent gangs (The Wards), this area only faintly resembles the true South Side. No Chinatown, no Hyde Park, no U.S. Cellular? No thanks. Also, the developers have relocated the now-razed Cabrini Green towers.
SCORE 1 star
The West Side
Aside from a vague Humboldt Park-like community in Parker Square, the west is not the best in "Watch Dogs."
SCORE: 0 stars
The lakefront
Miles of beach and path are missing, but Lake Michigan looks pretty accurate. Then again, the degree of difficulty is a little lower when its mostly just a whole lot of water.
Score: 2 stars
The suburbs

Alloy in Calgary
I am intrigued by Alloy and would love to go there but I have heard some mixed reviews and am not sure what to believe! What does everyone really think about Alloy?
I have been to Alloy 3 times and all three have been great! I have not been for about 3 months. It is one of our go to spots and I think we will try and get in next weekend.
It was better than average (over a year ago). If you've never been you should go. I ALWAYS try places (especially new places) for myself and don't rely on others' opinions. But since you asked, my experience there was good food, nice ambience, a little pricey for what you get but they had free olives and hummous which was a really nice touch. Not good enough to go back regularly, but good enough to recommend for a new experience.
I have been to Alloy about 3 times and really enjoyed it. It is a little pricey to make it there more often, but for a nice night out with a really different kind of experience and ambiance than you often get in Calgary I recommend it.
I agree with all above. Alloy is beautiful California bungalow inside . It also has one of the most beautiful patios in Calgary - so get out to Alloy soon while you can enjoy the patio.
The food is very nice also. I agree that perhaps the food doesn't have quite the same panache as perhaps Rush or Chef's Table BUT then again - how many places are? To me, Alloy is on par with some of my favourites like Centini and Redwater Grille. Places with very well prepared, contemporary food and fabulous decor.
Also, if you are a bit hesitant, try Alloy for lunch. This is a fabulous place to take clients. Further, there isn't much in this caliber outside the core for lunch - so in that respect you can't lose. The fish and chips (a very elegant version) is great and the braised ribs are really unique - excellent.
re: jsfoodchat
Thanks guys,
Yea I was just curious about value for your dollar. I heard it was pricey and was wondering whether it was worth it.
I think I am going to give a go though, and come up with my own review :P
Any menu suggestions?
re: Foodie149
i love the lamb trio, i recently had the halibut and it was delicious, the greek salad w/calamari is lovely and fresh, i've also had the pork tenderloin - they usually have a good special as well, we didn't have it last time we were there but it sounded delicious, wild salmon....
love alloy, always have a good experience and everyone leaves happy.
re: Foodie149
Alloy is very good, tied with The Ranche in my opinion as the best restaurant in the south of Calgary. The garden patio is charming. There are better places in town: Rush, River Cafe, Capo, Chef's Table, Rouge, and I would now add Petite. But if you're in the south of Calgary I would strongly recommend Alloy.
Menu recs: the lobster tempura or blue cheese souffle or soft shell crab for appetizer; the surf and turf, lamb trio or short rib for main.
re: alley
We had an excellent dinner at Alloy a few nights ago.
Appetizers consumed were the soft shell crab, the blue cheese soufle, salmon cakes, and the greek salad with calamari ( it was a deconstructed version). Mains were the Surf and Turf ( tournedo and lobster ravioli), a chicken dish , and two duck breasts with sweet potato gnocci. The consensus was that all was well executed and commensurate with the price point.
Service was erratic, in an enjoyable patio with music volumes that kept changing with the selections, and becoming annoying at times.
The wine list could be better organized, not many red wine choices in the under $75 range
I'm a big fan of Alloy, but you won't catch me dining there on a regular basis due to the price range. That being said, you may very well catch me sitting at the bar quite often, as a good friend of mine is the bartender there.
The one time I ate a full meal there, I really, really enjoyed it. I had the Greek Village Salad/Tempura Calamari as an appetizer, which was deelish, and very uniquely presented (the greek salad portion came on a very narrow dish, which kind of allowed you to taste the different features of the salad on their own). For my main, I had the Surf & Turf, which was to DIE for. The Lobster Ravioli was amazing. The creme brulee was a great dessert as well :)
If any of you go there, and you're a Martini drinker, ask if JP is bartending. If he is, get him to make you up one of his Caramel Pear martinis They're quite good. If he asks how the heck you knew his name, just tell him Fraser recommended it on Chowhound :)
I'm not getting it. If this is one of the best we've got in Calgary, well then ...........
A host who takes our coats, then tries to seat us with them still over her arm. A server who visits six separate times for a hello, to bring menus, to bring drink/wine menus, to take a drink order, to come back and recite specials, to bring drinks. (so much for Valentine's romance) She couldn't speak to the wine list as far as recommendations go. Tinny music emanating from the cheapest of speakers and echoing around a room devoid of sound absorbing materials. Table bases that clanged every time you moved your feet. The food was tasty enough but why was my steak way at the bottom of a high-rimmed soup plate? (The chef should make himself one, then sit down in cocktail dress to try and eat it. While he/she is at it, try walking into the restaurant on sloped, unshoveled ice & snow wearing heels)
All of this without any visible evidence of a manager running the show.
200 smackers with just a few glasses of wine? I don't think so. Demand better Calgary. Or vote with your feet as we shall.
re: girlwithafork
I can see that overall you did not enjoy your experience at Alloy, but some of your complaints are pretty petty. Seriously because the host/hostess sat you while she held your coat that bugs you? And a server dropping off menus irritates you (I agree that bringing all menus at once would be preferred, but it would not turn me off to the point that I made a comment on it, its better than the server not coming by at all which is what we just experienced at Rush). Also I fail to see how eating in a cocktail dress is any different then any attire.
You are definitely allowed your opinion but some of the things you are complaining about seem very trivial.
re: true mc
Well I am pretty shocked to read all the GOOD reviews... I don't think that Alloy is on par with Capo or the Ranch in any way shape or form. period.
Girlswithafork: I am sorry your romantic night way a bust I had an even worse experience about a year ago there, and will not go back there again.
true mac: trivial in my opinion is pretty valid when you are parting with a couple hundred dollars for a meal!
If I pay $200-$300 for a meal, I want to be pampered, I want impeccable service, and I want divine food. At Alloy this is not going to happen, better to spend my hard earned dollars at Capo or Teatro's where I will get more than I pay for.
While Alloy is beautiful yes, They are not on par with Calgary's greats.
I am with hsk on this one, good enough to try out but not somewhere that I feel the need to return to on a regular basis. I had the beef shortrib and it was wonderful, and the polenta made me realize why people like it for the first time. My friends double cut porkchop was very good, but my other friends' special of halibut was on the bland side. The cocktails were a total miss, wine was decent, and the free hummus lacked any hint of garlic or lemon juice which made it very bland. I'd give it a four out of five overall.
re: tatiana131
I must have had a different Valentine's Day altogether than girlwithafork. My boyfriend took me to Alloy on V-Day and we had an amazing time. We sat in a beautiful white booth, and enjoyed some great wine. The complimentary hummus was brought over (we soon found out by the owner) and he explained almost every dish on the menu! The food was super tasty. We can't wait to go back. I would have to say my only complaint was it was hard to hear the music, but it was very busy on a Saturday night.
re: misssteak
I don't think it's fair to judge a restaurant solely from one v-day experience - I generally avoid restaurants on v-day (old married couples can do that). I've been once again since my original post (I had out-of-town family with two kids, we couldn't get into Petite), the 6 of us fit comfortably into a booth, the food was great and the staff really accommodating (the young niece was a really picky eater). Quite expensive, but nice for a special occasion.
re: hsk
i agree, you can't judge a restaurant by valentine's day - it's usually a bust...but i've had similar service experiences on regular days - once we were seated and sat for about 15 minutes before even a menu showed up, nevermind a drink order taken...i used to love alloy but it's been too hit and miss lately. it's too bad, it was really great a few times...
re: girlwithafork
i think we expect less because we tend to receive less and pay more - often holidays like that are more expensive....
smart to go out early - we cooked a nice meal at home instead.
re: girlwithafork
Regarding your question on why do you expect less on certain days: Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and New Year's Eve are to be avoided at any restaurant. The restaurant is overbooked, the kitchen and wait staff are over worked, the menus are usually reduced to "specials", and the owners are trying to squeeze as much profit out as they can, even at the best places. The only reason that a restaurant might reduce prices is that they also reduced portion sizes - and they're more likely to increase the cost regardless. I used to wait at a hotel dining room, and dreaded these special days. Read "Waiter Rant" for more on this.
BTW girlwithafork, I agree that Alloy isn't up to the standard of the best in Calgary. It's one of the best restaurants south of downtown (and north of the Ranche), but it is expensive and it's not at the standard of Capo or Rush or River Cafe or Teatro, and I would pick Petite for example over Alloy. If Tango holds up, it will probably become my favourite restaurant in the area - not as high-end, but better value for the money.
After my first visit to Alloy, where I enjoyed appetizers and wine, I looked forward to returning there for dinner. After dining there a second time, I looked forward to dining there again if only to determine if the first or second visit was the anomaly, ie. the second trip was one likeable appetizer short of revolting. Sadly, the third visit tipped the scales more towards the unfortunate experience of the second visit. I say "sadly" mostly because I do really enjoy the look/feel of the restaurant.
It goes on my long list of glossy, overpriced and underwhelming restaurants in Calgary. There are restaurants in the city worthy of their pricey menus that have been mentioned above, most notably Capo, but please do not put Alloy in that same league, it's not even close. It really is unfair and insulting to those restaurants that deserve to be placed in that upper echelon. If money is no object and you eat out several times a week fine, try it, but otherwise why not spend your dollars where you get a lot more value and enjoyment for them.

re: horacerace
The Alloy restaurant when I went was immature. The hostess was a bubble headed bimbo and the wait staff were unprofessional. I will say that the space itself is very impressive. Props to the designers and architects who completed the renovation – it is really quite a magnificent space. Well except for the pink light wall in the bar – I just didn't get the point of that.
Anyway, I was not impressed with anything else and decided not to return until I heard that things had improved. Well that hasn't happened so I have never been back.
I went with my husband to celebrate and enjoy a romantic dinner for two. I made reservations a couple of weeks in advance so was quite surprised to be seated in the bar, just outside the kitchen, at a table for six! I seem to remember that the food was fine but the ambiance of the dinner was not what we had booked. I could totally understand if that happened when you were a walk in but we had made reservations well in advance. To make matters worse the kitchen staff were arguing a lot with the serving staff and it was very loud and unprofessional and about 10' from our table.
Anyhow, I guess I hold a grudge against these things because I have never been back.
Best of luck to any of you willing to give them a try.
220 42 Ave SE, Calgary, AB T2G 1Y4, CA
Definitely pricey. As with many other such places, the portion size is inversely proportional to the price. I've only been their once and the price didn't justify a return visit in my eyes. The atmosphere is quite good though.

OFDM (Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing) is a method of coding digital signals by orthogonal frequency division as multiple subcarriers. This technique allows to fight against frequency-selective channels allowing equalization of low complexity. These channels are particularly apparent in the presence of multipath and are particularly disadvantageous when the transmission rate is high. This technique is widely adopted in most applications with very high speed.
There exist several variants of OFDM. DMT (Discrete Multi Tone) refers to a system for transmitting OFDM baseband. The COFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) introduces error correcting code. WCP-OFDM (Cyclic Prefix Weighted Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing) includes the addition of a cyclic prefix and the weighting of the output signal of the transmitter to adapt the mobile multipath channels.

Stedman Bailey and Tavon Austin are being mentioned as All-America possibilities. Geno Smith has drawn added attention because some have seen him as a Heisman Trophy candidate.
Rakeem Cato has a measure of experience for Marshall's Thundering Herd. The sometimes frenetic Coach John "Doc" Holliday also has halfbacks Tron Martinez and Travon Van to send at West Virginia.
And it's going to be the last of the Joe Manchin-wrangled "Friends of Coal" football roundups between the Mountaineers and Marshall.
How many times has Holliday and the Marshall people heard the refrain "It's not really a rivalry . . . because Marshall has never beaten WVU"? How many times has West Virginia said of its Manchin-mandated game with Marshall, "We have nothing to gain by playing this game?"
It is the final game in the series. It's played in Morgantown because West Virginia won the last one and that victory gave them the finale on its home field.
West Virginia is now a "Beast of the Eastern Sector of the Big 12". Future schedules are crowded with conference games. The athletic department had to pay to get out of a two-game series with Florida State. Finding another place on any schedule for Marshall isn't likely to happen . . . unless Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) comes back with another plan to bring the schools together again.
Marshall resides in C-USA (Conference-USA) and could easily fit the Mountaineers on schedules that would have to include home games in Huntington.
Without outside "support" for such a series renewal, it is unlikely Marshall and West Virginia will be playing again.
Last year in Morgantown, lightning and pouring rain in the second half brought a halt to play with West Virginia holding a 34-13 lead. A long delay took place. When the two teams were finally brought back, another storm struck. And the game was never continued with all parties in agreement that the score would be recorded at 34-13.
West Virginia's Smith was already 26-for-35 with his passing statistics.
Through the next few months, West Virginia managed to overcome several sorry conference losses in the Big East to get the league's automatic berth in the Orange Bowl.
Taking a 9-3 overall record against Clemson in the bowl game, the season took a giant leap upward when Smith, Bailey, Austin and company lit the south Florida sky with 70 points.
The 70 points became the hallmark of the 2011 season.
And now West Virginia comes into the 2012 season with pre-season rankings at No. 11 in both the Associated Press and Coaches polls.
When one-time WVU coach (and current pariah) Rich Rodriguez was accepted at Arizona, he persuaded many of West Virginia's assistant coaches to follow him.
With the changeover shading the Mountaineer staff, there will be a different defensive alignment. Complicating the alignment differences was the loss of so many starters. And then injuries and off-season surgeries further disturbed matters.
Darwin Cook, Pat Miller, and Terence Garvin have been practicing and are thought to be healthy enough to be considered starters in the secondary or at linebacker for the Marshall game.
They'll be necessary faces. The front line of the WVU defense has Will Clarke, Jorge Wright, and Shaq Rowell. Necessary? Even in whipping Clemson, the Tigers still had 33 points.
What sort of help will come from the linebackers? Mostly new starters will populate that plenty-to-prove area. Jared Barber, Doug Rigg and Garvin will play. Tyler Anderson could prove to be a versatile asset.
With Miller and Cook, the other secondary starters are likely to be Brodrick Jenkins and Travis Bell.
Coach Dana Holgorsen has said at least 10 or 11 "true" freshmen are going to play, some on more than just the four special teams.
Karl Joseph and K. J. Dillon are two of those freshmen.
In this season-opener against Marshall, the Mountaineers are expected to outscore any glaring mistakes shown by the defense or special teams.
But nothing has been proven by West Virginia's runners.
Sophomores Austin Buie and Dustin Garrison — the starters for much of the 2011 season — have given way to Shawne Alston. Ryan Clarke is a starter whose number of carries is always very limited.
The offensive line has a long list of veterans. And Josh Jenkins, a three-year starter, comes back after missing all of 2011. Joining Jenkins are Pat Eger, Jeff Braun, Joe Madsen, and Quinton Spain. A healthy offensive line will make for a high-scoring offense — the kind needed later in the year when the Big 12 sprinters/throwers/scorers find their way onto the schedule.
Holgorsen has said he could use 45 or 50 players. He expects a game with many offensive series for his team and for him to use at least six wide receivers.
Marshall can play any number of psychological cards in this game. No respect. Overlooked. Little brother. Last chance. Knock off the rated team. Shock the nation.
Holliday's season ended with three straight wins, two of them regular season comebacks that saved a chance to go to the Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl in Florida. The Thundering Herd was 6-6 when it went bowling . . . and topped Florida International when it got there.
Holliday is now in his third year.
Marshall is expected to cede points to WVU's offense. Can Cato and company make enough dents in the Mountaineer defense to keep the scoreboard moving? Should Martinez and Van run effectively, Marshall can stay on the field and possibly limit WVU's number of possessions.
Monterius Lovett and and Jeremiah Taylor are the two leading tacklers among the returnees, but they were only seventh and eighth on the team in number of stops made in 2011.
The Herd's 13 opponents totaled 372 points last season. And none of those opponents had WVU's offensive clout. Even going 7-6 overall, Marshall was outscored, 372-284.
Marshall needs to dominate the special teams sections of play. It needs to get more turnovers than it gives away. It needs to stay injury-free. And it needs to carry its psychological motivation right on through to the end.
Game time is 12-noon. The television carrier is FX.
The "Coal" has run out. The United Mine Workers — not even with the return of John L. Lewis — can't use their union power to force another game.

Keira Knightley worked the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of "A Dangerous Method" on Saturday evening (September 10).
"I knew I wasn't anorexic. But maybe my body is somehow not right. Or my face is not right. Or the way I speak is not right. When you're going through a period where you're really getting a lot of criticism, you go, 'Maybe all this is right!' You just kind of want to hide it all," she explained.
Rumors that Knightley suffers from anorexia have plagued her for years, and it's far from the first time she has addressed the rumors.
"Hollywood is all about the way you look, and I don't think that's the healthy thing for anyone. But, if you're strong and comfortable with yourself, then you're going to be fine," she told People in 2006. "[The press] said to me yesterday 'How does it feel to be called anorexic?' and I had no idea that I was. I'm not saying there aren't people in the film industry that suffer from it, because I am sure that there are. But I'm quite sure I don't have it."
Yesterday we saw Keira Knightley at a photocall for her new movie, 'A Dangerous Method' in a dress with a pretty vivid print. For the premiere Keira went with a gorgeous gown in a more subdued color.
How did Keira Knightley and her fiance James Righton celebrate their engagement last night? By enjoying a dinner at London's Wolseley restaurant, that's how! On May 30, the newlyweds-to-be were seen leaving the UK eatery hand-in-hand. While Keira led the way for James at first, the two then kept pace with one another on the sidewalk.

We've all done it before. The light is red, but you're turning right, so you stop and then proceed as soon as traffic clears. But then, just as you've committed, you spot a Crown Victoria, and your mind starts to race. Was there a no turn on red sign back there? Is that a cop? Oh snap, there goes my insurance premiums!
It's not a pretty feeling, but once you're committed, you know it's too late. Well, it's too late for most, but apparently not everyone in Russia agrees. Hit the jump to see video that illustrates what not to do after deciding to turn right on a red light. We don't speak Russian, but we'd like to think that the video's narrator is calling this driver a, uh, buffoon.

1. Your body is in flux for the rest of your life. Think of your body as fluid instead of static — it's always going to change. So get comfortable with those changes.
2. No one will love you or not love you because of your body. You are lovable because you're you, not because your body looks a certain way.
3. The most intensely personal relationship you'll ever have is with your body. It's a lifelong relationship that's well worth investing in and nurturing the same way you would with loved ones.
4. You don't owe your body to anyone. Not sexually, not aesthetically. Your body is yours. Period.
5. What someone else says about your body says more about them than it does about you. Look past the actual snark to the person who's saying it, because it's only a reflection of what they think of themselves. That's when you'll see how little power their words have.
6. Your body is not a reflection of your character. It's a physical home for the complex and wondrous and unique being that is you.
7. Take up as much space as you want. You don't have to be small, or quiet, or docile, regardless of your physical size.
8. Everything you need to accept your body is already inside you. There's no book, or diet, or workout routine or external affirmation that you need to feel good about your body right now.
9. Your body is a priority. It's always trying to tell you things. Taking the time to listen to is of the utmost importance.
10. Wear whatever you want. Your body shape does not dictate your personal style, and fashion rules that say otherwise are wrong. Dress yourself in a way that makes you feel happy and confident and beautiful, because guess what? You are.

i'm a strong believer that not everything you do needs an explanation. if you want a tattoo, get one. if you rather stay home that night, it's okay to miss that party. don't forget that you're living for yourself. you don't owe anyone an explanation for your choices or preferences.

New Market polling place moved
By Alex Bridges
New Market officials this week sought to clear up any confusion town voters may face at election time.
Town Council voted at its meeting on Monday to change the New Market polling place for local elections from the municipal offices at 9418 John Sevier Road to the New Market Fire and Rescue Department, 9771 S. Congress St.
No one spoke during the public hearing held on the measure, according to Town Manager Evan Vass.
Town Council elections occur the first Tuesday in May and voters had cast their ballots at the municipal building. However, voters cast ballots during general elections in November at the fire department building. Shenandoah County had established the fire department as the polling place for voters in New Market.
"Whereas, the Town of New Market is concerned that there may be confusion among Town voters should elections be held at the New Market Fire and Rescue Department, and May Town elections continue to be held at the New Market Town Office ..." states the ordinance to switch the polling site.
The change became effective Monday.
Also at the meeting ,council heard a presentation on the town's Capital Improvement Plan for FY2014-18. As Vass explained Thursday the plan lays out the town's capital improvement priorities for the future. The plan includes items such as vehicle and equipment replacements, software purchases, building improvements and other needs.
While items come with estimated costs the plan does not obligate the town to spend the money on the projects.
"The idea is we try to approve the CIP before beginning budget deliberations for the annual budget," Vass said. "I advise council that the CIP is financial planning tool. It's not a commitment so although they are affirming that these are projects and are even prioritizing projects it doesn't commit them to fund those next year. Really those decisions are dependent on funding."
Council may move items up or down the priorities list depending on the town needs. As Vass recalled council had to move up the rehabilitation of the town swimming pool last year, sooner than anticipated, because the facility needed repairs.

All quotes tagged Tongue
(207 quotes found)
"Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood."
"The afflicted are not listened to. They are like someone whose tongue has been cut out and who occasionally forgets the fact. When they move their lips no ear perceives any sound. And they themselves soon sink into impotence in the use of language, because of the certainty of not being heard."
"He gossips habitually; he lacks the common wisdom to keep still that deadly enemy of man, his own tongue"

Dear Carolyn • At church or other public functions, my ex-boyfriend comes up and greets my friends with kisses and hugs, when I am standing right there. He gives me a nod. This causes me no end of grief. My question is about my friends' behavior. I think out of loyalty to me, they should not allow him to greet them so effusively — or else, he should greet me with more than a nod. I spoke to my one friend about it, and she said she would "try to remember," but I don't think that's good enough.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Dear Frustrated • "No end of grief"? That's almost as funny as what your ex is doing. Yes, funny. When someone does such a clumsy, obvious job of insulting you, it's actually a backhanded compliment. He's trying to deliver a scathing put-down, right? But the message he's actually sending is this: "I am a graceless dork." As put-downs go, he's brandishing a crayon scribble as if it's the Mona Lisa. You have a range of appropriate responses, all of which will serve their purpose as long as you treat his behavior as the crayon scribble it is. A pointed, "Hello, Ralph," would do it. Or a gently teasing, "Really?" No appropriate response, by the way, involves trying to control your friends. Cut that out.
Dear Carolyn • My first marriage ended 15 years ago. It lasted eight years and did not end well. While we were married, she and I did a lot of world traveling and took many photos of our travels. I have since remarried and my wife and I just celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. The old photos from my world travels are in a box in the garage. Included are photos of relatives and friends who have since passed away. Should I take a day and rummage through the photos to see the ones I want to keep or should I just throw the entire box away? It will be painful and emotional either way.
Dear M. • I can't imagine throwing away photos of deceased loved ones just because I didn't want to feel bad for a day. It's like abandoning priceless archaeological relics because I don't want dirt under my nails.
