Doan did a wonderful job on the flowers! They were everything I wanted and more and I could not be happier with the job she did. I was looking for something unique and she delivered. I'm only sad I could not take the arrangements home with me!

Oh my, Sprout did an absolutely breathtakingly beautiful job on our wedding flowers! We worked with Tassy from the beginning, and she really listened to what we wanted, looked at all of the pictures I sent, and completely got the look we were going for. She also worked really hard to stay within our budget and made a lot of suggestions that ended up saving a lot of money. My experience speaking to other florists was NOT the same - many of them flat out told me they couldn't do anything within our budget. Tassy was completely different, she was completely open to working with us and never made us feel bad for not having a bigger budget...and what they were able to do within the budget felt like a miracle. Walking in and seeing all the flowers was like a dream, it was so beautiful. I really could not have been happier. A shout out to the guys who delivered the flowers too, because they were SO patient and so sweet. The Sprout team was just an absolute pleasure to work with!

My August wedding was help at the New York Botanical Garden, so my florist was EXTREMELY important, and I am absolutely confident that I made the best choice possible. I can't say enough amazing things about the fantastic time I had working with Jennifer and the rest of the team. I love surprises, so gave them freedom to create something beautiful using my ideas as a springboard. And I couldn't have asked for anything better! They focused on local, seasonal, colorful plants with variations in texture. They also used creative ways to accommodate my budget, AND paired with their garden shop to provide some potted arrangements to mix in with the cut plants. I still have 2 of the large potted plants that made up our ceremony decoration growing outside my front door.
Even the process of planning my arrangements was enjoyable, since Jennifer was so sweet and the shop is beautiful to visit. I don't use this word often, but Sprout was perfect.

We chose Sprout Home as our wedding florist after having looked at several different ones. We liked their overall style and designs. The planning process was organized and clear. We worked with Shirley who put together beautiful arrangements for the day. She was a pleasure to work with and went the extra mile and beyond to help with setting things up just right on the day of the wedding. Many of our guests commented on how nice the flowers were- I would choose them again for another event and would highly recommend them to others!

I cannot say enough amazing things about the work that Sprout did for my July 5 wedding! I worked with Doan and from my first phone call to the actual delivery and install, she was an absolute joy to work with.
I am not embarrassed to say that I know NOTHING about flowers, but I had a color scheme and I was hoping that would be enough. During our meetings, Doan was the perfect guide to help me realize exactly what I wanted.
I got the most incredible compliments all night long, and every arrangement was more beautiful than the next!

Working with Sprout was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Not only were the flowers absolutely amazingly beautiful (I'm still thinking about them a month later!), Sprout was amazing about helping us stick to our budget. Would highly, highly recommend!!

We chose Sprout for our wedding florist, and they were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! A little background: I love flowers (we were married at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden), so I wanted bouquets and centerpiece arrangements that would mirror the natural beauty of our venue. What impressed me so much about working with Doan at Sprout is that she carefully listened to (and incorporated!) all of our ideas, while managing to create arrangements that were even better than I had dreamed of! I also asked Doan to create a flower necklace for me to wear on my wedding day…and I can't even begin to describe how gorgeous it was. I received more compliments on the necklace than I could count, and now, weeks after the wedding, I am still receiving comments about how beautiful the flowers were overall. Apart from the quality of her work, Doan also did a great job in terms of communication in the lead-up to our event and in adhering to the budget that we discussed in our first meeting. We lucked out in that we really enjoyed working with the majority of our vendors, but Doan and Sprout were our favorites out of the whole group! Simply cannot recommend them enough!!!

we found picking a florist to be one of the toughest parts of wedding planning. we finally found sprout, with thanks to our photographer [erica at clean plate] and style me pretty. we loved their work as seen on websites, but the communication was a little tough until we talked to tassy. she seemed to totally "GET" us and what we were looking for--and things turned out wonderfully. thank you sprout!

We absolutely loved the flowers that Sprout prepared for our wedding. Both Tassy and Doanne did an amazing job understanding exactly how we wanted the flowers to look and feel. The arrangements had a large variety of flowers that were fresh and beautifully put together.
The planning process was easy and painless. They were flexible in terms of budget and specific flower requests. We'd recommend Sprout Home without any hesitation.

I loved working with Sprout. Their experts made gorgeous floral arrangements for my wedding at the nearby Wythe Hotel, and were able to change my order at the last minute to include large branch arrangements to frame our ceremony. The bouquets were reused as centerpieces, and they provided the extra mason jars (which we were able to take home after the party) for these flowers. They were prompt and professional, reasonably priced and very flexible. I highly recommend using Sprout.

Doan and Sprout Home were absolutely excellent. I called fairly close to my wedding (about a month before) because my original florist called with unexpected delivery charges and I chose to cancel. She asked me what I wanted for my bouquets and I gave her a vague description as I do not know very much about flowers. She was very responsive with billing, emails, etc. and the flowers were delivered exactly on time and labeled for each person (bride, bridesmaid, etc.). They were simply gorgeous and full bouquets. I would recommend Sprout Home without reservation to anyone looking for bridal bouquets!

Main downside is the cost - they are pretty expensive! That aside, they made my wedding look gorgeous! We gave them free reign to put together flowers they thought would look beautiful and fit our version of the day - we gave them flowers we liked and a color scheme and they did the rest. We had large arrangements and bud vases and everyone at the wedding loved them. They were a little pricey, so we were limited in how much of their goodness they could give us, but they did work to keep us in the budget we wanted.

The best of the best florist! I had so many compliments with my bouquet and the vendor was so great with giving suggestions to meet my budget but still make the entire flower pieces and bouquets look absolutely gorgeous. The pick up time and everything was so flexible and even coordination was so easy. For sure this will be the place I will always go back to and recommend to my friends.

LAKE WORTH — After struggling offensively in the first half, Dwyer showed resilience with a dominant performance to close the game. Junior quarterback Robert Nittolo tossed two touchdowns to spark a stagnant offense and the Panthers bounced back from its first loss of the season with a 37-0 victory over Lake Worth in a District 13-7A game.
The Panthers (7-1, 4-1 in district) had a 9-0 advantage at halftime before pulling away in the second half with some big plays in the passing game. Nittolo fired a 35-yard touchdown to Johnnie Dixon n in the right corner of the end zone to give the Panthers a 16-0 lead with six minutes left in the third quarter. On the following offensive possession, Nittolo connected with Ezra Saffold for a 48-yard strike to extend the lead to 23-0.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Sept. 6, 1927. 1,641,508 v. STARK GAMBREL Filed Aug. 2. 1926 14 Ves? e r Stark ATTORNEY INVENTOR Patented Sept. 6, 1.927.
v'Es'rER STARK, F FAIRFIELD, IOWA.
Application filed August 2, 1926.
This invention relates to gambrels the general object of the invention is the provision of a frame member carrying holding arms thereon which are adapted for engagement with the extremities of food stuffs to sustain the latter in an elevated position.
More specifically stated the invention comprehencls the use of a latch finger, which when tripped by means carried at an approlo priatc point in the length of a track. upon which the invention is mounted for travel, said holding arms will automatically release in order that the food stuffs may be disengaged and the frame member substantially lowered in order that the device may travel on and complete a circuitous course.
Vith the above and other objects in view. the invention further includes the following novel features and details of construction, to
be hereinafter more fully described, illus trated in the accompanying drawing and pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is an elevation of the invention in a locked position.
Figure 2 is a similar View with the holding arms released.
Figure 3 is an elevation of the release mechanism partly broken away.
Figure 4 is a top plan view of the frame illustrating the mounting of the holding arms thereon.
Figure 5 is a top plan view of the tripping apparatus.
Figure 6 is a fragmentary elevation of a track and an arm carried thereby for releasing the tripping apparatus.
Figure 7 is a sectional view taken through the invention upon a track and illustrating the manner by means of which the tripping apparatus may be released when approaching the arm carried thereby.
Referring to the drawing in detail wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, the reference character 10 indicates an elongated frame. The ends 11 of the frame are inwardly bent upon themselves substantially as illustrated in Figure 2 of the drawing.
Pivotally mounted between the side walls of the frame 10 and upon pivot pins 11'. are curved holding arms 12, normally held in the position as illustrated in Figures 1 and 4 of the drawing through the instrumentality of springs 13. Stops 14 carried by the frame restrict the downward swing- Serial No. 126,672.
ing movement of the holding arms 12. The free ends of each of the holding arms 12 are providing semi-circular cutout portions 15, the purpose of which will be readily apparout.
The release mechanism comprehends a housing 16 suspended from a rod 17 carried by a roller 17, travelling upon a track. Said housing is provided with registering cutout portions 18 adjacent its lower end and within the side walls thereof, the purpose of which will be readily apparent. A locking finger 19 is pivotally mounted within the housing and which provides a cutout portion 21) within one side thereof and when disposed in a locked position is arranged in direct alignment with the rcgisterin cutout portions 18 within the adjacent sic e walls within the hous ng. Said cutout portions are adapted to receive therein a pivot pin 21 carried at an appropriate point in the length and between the adjacent sides of the frame member 10. The upper end of the locking finger 15) is provided with a reduced extension .32. .t fulcrum lever 23 mounted within said housing provides a cutout portion 24 within the free end thereof and is adapted to normally receive the upper reduced extension 22 of the latch finger 19. Said fulcrum lever is held in engagement with said re duced extension through the instrumentality of a compression spring abutting, the underside of the top of said housing. A tripping or release finger 26 is carried upon the outer free end of the fulcrum lever 23 and encircling the housing, the purpose of which will be readily apparent. Yoke members 28 are pivotally mounted upon the housing and which have connected therewith chain lengths 29 which in turn have their remaining extremities connected with attaching ears or eyes 30 carried upon the upper sides and adjacent the free ends of the holding arms 12.
In the use and operation of the present invention it is clearly apparent and manifest that the legs or extremities of meat stufis may be positioned between the curved ends 11 of the frame 1.0 and the semi-circular cutout portions 15 of the holding arms 12 and held against displacement therein through the instrumentality of the springs 13 and stops l i precedent to the engagement of the pin 21 within the housing 1.0. Said locking finger 19 will normally suspend said frame member 10 therefrom and which is held against displacement by the spring tensioncd fulcrum lever 23. Manifestly the tripping or release finger 26 may be called into use when it is desirous to release said frame member from the housing and the locking finger carried thereby in order that the chain lengths 29 due to the weight of the frame member 10 will retract the action of the sn'ings 13 upon the holding arms 12, there y positioning said arms in a. manner as illustrated in Figure 2 of the drawing in order that the legs or extrei'nities of the meat stuffs may be released. In this connection the trip 26 may be operated by any suitable means. such as a curved arm I]! carried upon a. track 2-52. The operation of the device in conjunction with the arm 31 is clearly illustrated in Figure 7 of the drawing when the housing is supended from the roller 17 riding upon said track 32. It will be noted from the foregoing description and accompanying drawing that the food stuffs may be handled by an operator more easily and quickly due to the fact that the release apparatus, is in its nature automatic, and will obviate the usual necessity of lifting the food stuffs to release the same from the supporting apparatus.
The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportions and minor details of construction and the right is herein reserved to make such changes as prop erly fall within the scope of the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A gambrel comprising a frame member,
holding arms carried thereby, and a release mechanism connected with the holding arms and adapted for selective engagement with the frame member.
A gambrel comprising a frame member, holding arms carried thereby adapted for swinging movement thereon, spring means carried by the frame member normally sustaining the holding arms in a locked position, and a release apparatus connected with the holding arms adapted for selective engagement with the frame member.
A gambrel comprising an elongated frame member, holding arms carried thereby, adapted for swinging movement thereon. spring means normally positioning the holding arms in their respective locked po sitions, a release mechanism adapted for selective engagement with the frame meniher, chain lengths communicating with the holding arms and latch mechanism respectively, and means carried by the latch release mechanism and connected with the frame member to facilitate the release of the holding arms when desired.
4. A gambrel comprising an elongated frame member, holding arms carried thereby and adapted for swinging movement thereon spring, means carried by the frame for sustaining the holding arms in their respective locked positions, a pin carried at an intermediate point in the length of the frame member, a housing adapted to receive an appropriate portion of the pivot pin for suspending said frame therefrom, and means carried by said housing for releasing said pivot pin.
5. A gambrel comprising an elongated frame n'ieinber, holding arms carried there by and adapted for swinging movement thereon, a pivot pin carried at an intermediate point in the length of the frame member, a housing providing cutout porlions within the adjacent side walls thereof and adapted to receive the pivot pin therein, a locking linger mounted within said housing for engagement with the pivot pin therein, a fulcrum lever carried by said housing and adapted for engagement with said locking linger, and means connected with said lever to facilitate the operation thereof incident to the release of the pivot pin from the housing.
6. A gambrel comprising an elongated frame member, a pivot pin carried thereby, a housing providing registering cutout portions within the adjacent side walls thereof for the reception of the pivot pin therein. a latch linger mounted within the housing and including a cutout portion within one side for receiving an appropriate portion of the pivot pin. therein, a reduced extension carried upon the remaining extremity of said linger, a fulcrum lever mounted within said housing and engageable with the reduced extension of the linger, and a trip carried upon the remaining extremity of the fulcrum lever exteriorly of said housing for releasing the locking linger from engagement with the pivot pin of the frame member.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

Jane Cumberbatch from Pure Style shows us how to transform rosemary sprigs into a festive wreath
I'm using sprigs of rosemary from the garden because I love its herby smell. Other evergreens like ivy and yew, are good too. If you haven't got any outside space, look for winter greenery on a walk in the park or the countryside.
What you need:
● A good handful of rosemary
● 120cm of garden wire
● string
● scissors
● ribbon
Step 1
Cut the wire with pliers to 120cm long. Bend the wire in half, and twist the ends together to make a circle. Continue to wind the ends of the wire upon itself to secure the circle.
Step 2
Weave sprigs of rosemary between the wire until covered.
Step 3
Tie three or four pieces of string to hold the stems in place. I like hairy gardener's string the best because it looks natural.
Step 4
Add the finishing touch: a bow of gingham ribbon. Alternatively nice piece of velvet ribbon or white linen tape will also look good.
Put the wreath wherever you want a festive touch: like a mantelpiece or shelf, or even on the Christmas table as a pretty decoration.

HERA Constructive S.A. protests the award of a contract to Michael M. Tsontos S.A. under request for proposals (RFP) No. N33191-05-B-1204 by the Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, for construction and renovation of the Navy Exchange buildings (known as the "NEXMART") at the Naval Support Activity Souda Bay in Crete, Greece. HERA argues that Tsontos was ineligible for award because it does not possess the appropriate construction license, which the RFP required.
We deny the protest.

Opinion & analysis
I am a reporter and photographer in Montreal. I have lived in Venezuela and Chile and traveled extensively in Latin America. I speak fluent Spanish and English and am happy to make an ass of myself in French. I write for Monocle, the Christian Science Monitor, and a lot of more specialized publications. I am especially interested in natural resources, cultural change, and the murky side of the energy industry. I also maintain a website of notes and observations, mostly about energy in South America. You can write me. Or check out my Twitter feed.
A couple anonymously written blogs are claiming I'm a drug-trafficking extortionist crypto-right-winger. For the record, I'm not. The posts appeared after I wrote a widely read exposé about reputation management on my blog. I hope it's obvious that drug kingpins don't hire guys who go out in public like this. And that if I were interested in extortion, I would have taken the cash rather than publish that story. (In the end I spent eight months on that story and didn't get paid a cent.) As far as my politics? If you have specific questions, just ask.

Honestly, it's something that I cannot find,

I wrote the book on being a trivial deceiver,
I'm a tyrant in disguise, but they can't see,
All of the demons crawling around in me,
I'm on the wrong side of angst, I dread,
And I'm uneasy with the agony in my head,
Have I become my own worst enemy within?
Increasing paranoia and sin after rotten sin,
This resurgent feeling swells up like the tide,
Then it hits me, someone in the equation lied,
I am damned by my thoughts, it's no show,
So if one was to lose it, where would they go?
Because I confess, I've indeed lost my mind,
Don't worry about me, I'm crazy, but doing fine…

But we were the generation of youth who could never say no,
The universe was out there and it was universally clear,
Each and every one of us were chasing dreams without fear,
Our goal was living free and it all was well within our sights,
Sharing our philosophies with cheap wine under starry nights,
But never preparing ourselves for such a tempestuous change,
Yeah, the older we get, the more our priorities get rearranged,
Here's to you and here's to me, to all of us still chasing dreams,
Remember who we are inside despite how dark life can seem…

Using a LightSheer diode laser by Lumenis, the certified staff at Fresno Laser Aesthetics reduces and eventually permanently halts hair production in unwanted areas. The LightSheer system targets hundreds of hair follicles at a time, destroying them at their core, which can be identified by its nougaty consistency. Plastic surgeons Dr. John Burnett and Dr. Kaye Riolo, the cosmetic nurse specialists and clinical aestheticians at Fresno Laser Aesthetics, celebrate hairlessness by offering medical-grade services in an upscale, relaxing environment.
Rim Marcinkus, MD, PhD, DSc, earned his doctor of medicine and doctor of science in surgery degrees at Vilnius University in Lithuania, where he went on to complete a PhD in scientific research. Practicing plastic surgery for more than 25 years, he has published articles in experimental- and clinical-surgery journals and more progressive issues of Mad magazine. The industry innovator also holds a registered patent for the Eurolift procedure, an advanced technique designed to lift the face by tightening skin and muscles that have loosened due to age or hilly rides in a convertible.
At his Desert Plastic Surgery Center in Rancho Mirage, Dr. Marcinkus specializes in breast enhancements, body sculpting, and hair transplantation, alongside a wide variety of other surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures. He seeks out the latest technology and minimally invasive techniques, including full body-lifts after weight-loss surgery, Botox, and dermal fillers.
The medical aestheticians at Valley Legs Beauty and Diagnostics work toward one goal: setting their clients free from cosmetic concerns. They treat issues such as varicose veins, wrinkles, and tired-looking skin, drawing on a deep knowledge of advanced technologies. Virtually painless laser hair removal is another specialty. Bilingual medical physicians and nurses consult with visitors before each treatment.
The walls of Wish Boutique & Salon are the exact shade of a beach, which is appropriate because their assortment of tanning beds, airbrush spray tans, and tanning products services imbue guests with the same sunshiny glow they?d get from an actual beach. But apart from their UV and UV-free tanning services, their rooms shelter a red light therapy bed designed to ameliorate wrinkles, burns, and acne. The touched-up feeling resulting from those 20-minute sessions spill over into the manicure-pedicure area, where nail techs adorn tips with durable coats of shellac and glittering Rockstar colors.
With more than 25 years in the medical field, Dr. Pamela J. Stuart has focused her attention for the past 10 years on rejuvenating complexions with noninvasive treatments at Physician's Skin Solutions. Dr. Stuart commences all services with a personalized consultation that helps create each patient's skin profile, which helps identify sun damage, textural problems, and unnecessary fine lines—the kind that cannot tell your future. In addition, all nonsurgical procedures, including dermal fillers, laser hair removal, and radio-frequency skin-tightening treatments, are performed by the skilled doctor. And to further foster healthy glows, Dr. Stuart and her team are armed with advanced skincare products from brands including Obagi and SkinMedica. They also stay up-to-date on the latest beauty treatments, such as age-reversing Allumera topical cream.

Although inclusive postsecondary education programs are increasingly available, little is known about the attitudes of matriculating college students toward the inclusion of students with intellectual disabilities in their classes. To assess these attitudes, the authors surveyed 256 college students about their attitudes toward students with intellectual disabilities and their inclusion in college classes. Overall, the college students reported positive attitudes. They noted that female students and those with higher comfort levels perceived the abilities of people with intellectual disabilities as higher, thought more benefits were associated with their inclusion, and were more willing to interact with them on campus. The authors concluded that these findings offer evidence of the social acceptability of inclusive postsecondary education programs among the general population of college students and the viability of such programs as an inclusive transition option for students with intellectual disabilities.

Category: Spellings, Sounds and Initials
Let's forget about the vowel-starting baby names that have dominated the current era.
When it comes to consonants, the J names of the 80s — Jennifer and Jason, Jessica and Joshua — were followed by the K names of the 90s were followed by the L names that are both popular and stylish today: Lila and Liam, Lucia and Laszlo.
So what might be coming up but names that start with M? Sure, we've had dominant M names — think Mary and Michael — in the past, but the next wave of M names are more unusual examples.
And after the lovely, lilting L names, we are ready for M's fuzzy warmth. There are so many marvelous, miraculous M-starting names that are already being discovered by stylish parents: Mila and Milo, Maisie and Maxwell.
But today we'd like to focus on the M names of the future, those waiting in the wings for revival. Some of our favorites:
Those are a few that perennially befuddle us. Even when we know how to pronounce them, we forget, or we encounter someone who pronounces them the other way.
Which name pronunciations are you unsure of? Either because the spellings are confusing, or because they're pronounced different ways by different people, or because the pronunciations are counterintuitive, or you're not familiar with their native cultures…..or, whyever.
We'll try to help identify the correct pronunciations, and if we're not sure, we can help each other!
Everybody loves the letter A.
A is the most common first initial for baby names today. Many of the most popular baby names start with A, including Ava, Abigail, and Amelia for girls, and Alexander, Andrew, and the Aiden constellation for boys. And then there are all the fast-rising names that begin with A, from the Game of Thrones-inspired Arya to the biblical Asher to the hot celebrity names Anson and Azalea.
Why is A so favored? The fact that it's first may have something to do with giving it an image of primacy and importance. And then there are the studies that say people whose names begin with A are more likely to earn As in school and may even live longer.
That makes a lot of good reasons to want to choose an A name for your baby. But what are the best A names that are not overused or on their way to becoming too popular?
We combed the nearly 3500 unusual baby names that start with A on Nameberry to find the best choices below the Top 1000. Here, our 100 favorites:
By Eleanor Nickerson, British Baby Names
Even though they didn't make the top 20 list of names which had moved up the most in 2013, one thing I particularly noticed about the recent England and Wales data release was the number of "Dol" names that had shot onto the scene.

Pitcher's small school experience proves beneficial
After completing a stellar freshman baseball season at San Diego Jewish Academy, Michael Fagan was concerned enough that pitching for the tiny upstart program would be an obstacle to his future in the sport, he seriously considered transferring to Point Loma of San Diego, his district's public school, where he figured he'd get more exposure.
Fagan never did leave. And now he believes that what he once viewed as a hindrance to his development was a blessing in disguise.
"I'd been going to the academy since I was in third grade and all my friends were there," Fagan said of his decision to stay at SDJA. "The academy was where I really wanted to be."
The baseball stuff worked out pretty well too.
Fagan, a left-handed pitching sensation who just completed his record-setting Lions career last month, parlayed his experience at SDJA to an opportunity to play at Princeton, where he received an academic scholarship, and has put himself on the radar of professional scouts who this season flocked to Lions games in droves.
SDJA coach Glenn Doshay said Fagan stands a good chance of being selected in the June 7-10 MLB amateur draft.
Not bad for a scrawny and undersized kid who'd been used exclusively as a situational reliever as he rose through the ranks from Little League to Pony, and eventually to playing travel ball, and who by his own admission, wasn't exactly brimming with confidence when his prep career began.
"I was always the littlest kid out there," Fagan said. "I never really thought I'd be an impact player until the summer until freshman year."
It was after his freshman year that Fagan started turning heads. As a sophomore, he set the San Diego County single season strikeout record with 181 (the old record was 170), highlighted by a stunning performance against Midway Baptist of San Diego when he struck out 21 batters in a seven-inning game.
By his junior year, he had already broken the county's career strikeout record (376), a mark he would go on to obliterate, finishing with 495.
Fagan acknowledges that playing at the Div. V level evokes questions about whether his numbers are legit, the same scenario former SDJA softball pitching standout Ali Adelman faced when she played for the Lions. Adelman now plays Div. I ball at University of Connecticut.
"If anything, the numbers show a focus and concentration every day to get the job done and get our school some recognition," he said.
And if even scouts questioned the numbers, they were almost impossible to ignore.
"Stats do draw a little bit of attention," Fagan said. "In that sense, it helped me a lot that way."
Fagan in four years at SDJA has experienced a five-inch growth spurt (he's now 5-foot-11) and has added considerable velocity to a fastball Doshay says he can throw consistently over 90 mph.
Fagan's calling card is his ability to command four pitches (a fastball, curveball, straight change and split-finger fastball), Doshay said. Fagan said he's also developing a slider.

name was William Jacob Bement. He was born
1918, I believe. There was a Bement farm in
Sherman. My father's mother's name was Flora
Wilcox Bement. I've been to Sherman a couple
of times when I was a girl and I have not seen my Bement family in many years accept when my aunt Peg Bement and Uncle Jack Bement
would visit Atlanta. I have cousins in New York and Oregon and would love to hear from
anyone related to me, also if someone would assit me in figuring out where I fit on the family tree it would be much appreciated.

GRANTS PASS, Oregon — A man wanted by the FBI in four Washington state bank robberies has been arrested while working on a recycling crew for a homeless shelter in southern Oregon.
The Grants Pass Daily Courier (http://bit.ly/1zR6XqA ) reports 55-year-old William Mitchell was arrested without incident Wednesday and taken away by federal agents.
The FBI dubbed him the Roscoe Bandit, saying he used a long-barreled pistol.
The FBI says Mitchell had an ID from Mississippi, but they don't know if it is authentic.
He was wanted in robberies of two banks in downtown Seattle in July, a bank in Olympia on Oct. 30, and another in Spokane last Friday.
Police in Grants Pass say the FBI alerted them that Mitchell could be working at the recycling center.

I brought my tree down to the shore
The garland and the silver star
To find my peace and grieve no more
To heal this place inside my heart
On every branch I laid some bread
And hungry birds filled up the sky
They rang like bells around my head
They sang my spirit back to life
One tiny child can change the world
One shining light can show the way
Through all my tears, for what I've lost
There's still my joy
There's still my joy for Christmas day
The snow comes down on empty sand
There's tinsel moonlight on the waves
My soul was lost but here I am
So this must be amazing grace
One tiny child can change the world
One shining light can show the way
Beyond these tears for what I've lost
There's still my joy
There's still my joy for Christmas day
There's still my joy for Christmas day

Brown Estate Vineyards Zinfandel Napa Valley 2012
Brown Estate Vineyards - California - United States - Napa Valley
2012 has, so far been a positive year for wineries around the world. While it may be a little too early to speak of the wines being made in the northern hemisphere, European and North American wineries have already begun reporting that their harvesting season has been generally very good, and are predicting to continue with the kind of successes they saw in 2011. However, 2012 has been something of a late year for France, due to unpredictable weather throughout the summer, and the grapes were ripening considerably later than they did in 2011 (which was, admittedly, an exceptionally early year). French wineries are claiming, though, that this could well turn out to be advantageous, as the slow ripening will allow the resulting wines to express more flavour and features of the terroir they are grown in. The southern hemisphere has seen ideal climatic conditions in most of the key wine producing countries, and Australia and New Zealand particularly had a superb year, in particular with the Bordeaux varietal grapes that grow there and which love the humidity these countries received plenty of. Also enjoying a fantastic year for weather were wineries across Argentina and Chile, with the Mendoza region claiming that 2012 will be one of their best vintages of the past decade. Similar claims are being made across the Chilean wine regions, where Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon had an especially good year. These two grape varietals also produced characterful wines on the coastal regions of South Africa this year.
Zinfandel grapes are renowned for being quite fast growing and somewhat vigorous, thriving best in climates which are warm, but not too hot. As Zinfandel grapes are thin skinned, they are prone to dry and shrivel in too much heat, and due to the fact that they grow in large, tightly packed bunches, they are also sensitive to rot. As such, Zinfandel is a grape variety which requires quite a lot of care and attention, but which can produce beautiful results given the right conditions. Indeed, this grape varietal is often praised for the fact that it is one which can demonstrate the skill and expertise of the winery processing it, and clearly demonstrates the features of the terroir it is grown. Partly this is due to those thin skins the lower tannin content in the wines allows other features of the grape to come forward and be displayed in all their various glories. The grapes themselves are known to ripen early, and produce plenty of juice with a high sugar content. It is not unusual, however, for wineries to take a late harvest of Zinfandel grapes, and the concentrated sugars and over-ripe fruits often make for excellent dessert wines, also.
California as a wine producing region has grown in size and importance considerably over the past couple of centuries, and today is the proud producer of more than ninety percent of the United States' wines. Indeed, if California was a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine in the world, with a vast range of vineyards covering almost half a million acres. The secret to California's success as a wine region has a lot to do with the high quality of its soils, and the fact that it has an extensive Pacific coastline which perfectly tempers the blazing sunshine it experiences all year round. The winds coming off the ocean cool the vines, and the natural valleys and mountainsides which make up most of the state's wine regions make for ideal areas in which to cultivate a variety of high quality grapes.
The first European settlers to consider growing grapevines in the United States must have been delighted when they discovered the now famous wine regions within California, Oregon and elsewhere. Not even in the Old World are there such fertile valleys, made ideal for vine cultivation by the blazing sunshine, long, hot summers and oceanic breezes. As such, it comes as little surprise that today more than eighty-nine percent of United States wines are grown in the valleys and on the mountainsides of California, where arguably some of the finest produce in the world is found. However, American wine does not begin and end with California, and due to the vast size of the country and the incredible range of terrains and climates found within the United States, there is probably no other country on earth which produces such a massive diversity of wines. From ice wines in the northern states, to sparkling wines, aromatized wines, fortified wines, reds, whites, rosés and more, the United States has endless surprises in store for lovers of New World wines.
In the United States of America, one wine region seems to stand head and shoulders above all others. The Napa Valley of California has long been considered one of the world's premier wine regions, and the wineries which operate in this idyllic landscape now have generations of expertise when it comes to coaxing the very finest flavors and aromas from the imported varietals which thrive there. Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Zinfandel have become the flagship grape varietals of the Napa Valley, however, recent years have seen much expansion and experimentation undertaken by the large and small wineries which call the valley their home. With ideal climatic conditions for viticulture, and wonderfully rich and fertile soils, the Napa Valley continues to grow and impress each year.

Gilbere Forte' - We Do This
Artist: Gilbere Forte'
Featuring: Don Trip
Producer: Bengie
Album: EYES of VERITAS
Avg Rating: 3.2 ( 10 votes )
Tomorrow, Gilbere Forte' and numerous other talented up-and-comers will be joining forces to fundraise for musical education as part of DJBooth.net and the J. Dilla Foundation's Give Back showcase (click here for further details on the event, going down at SoHo venue S.O.B.'s). If supporting a good cause isn't reason enough to attend, perhaps the dopesness of the Philly native's latest mixtape leak, We Do This, will do the trick. This cut, which finds Bengie serving up a swaggering beat as Forte' and Tennesee's Don Trip fills fans in on their daily routine, can be found on the headliner's EYES of VERITAS street album. In addition, fans can click here for a behind-the-scenes look at this record's creation.

Save Arizona's landscape
Just a short drive east of Mesa, a challenge for change is being played out. Our duly elected senators want to change a scenic, historic landscape for billions of dollars of profit for a partnership of two foreign corporations best known for their competition to win the worlds "worst polluter" award.
Sens. Jon Kyl R-Ariz., and John McCain R-Ariz., are trying to resurrect a project that has failed three times in Congress.
They're promising jobs — haven't they noticed the jobs formula associated with big corporations has failed? The mining company will give the public some supposed scenic places in exchange for the public Oak Flat campground in the Tonto National Forest.
Have the senators gone out and examined the over-grazed, burned-out ranches that Resolution Copper bought in exchange for our wonderful Oak Flat and historical Apache Leap? Of course not!
Isn't it time we recognize the value of the uniqueness of our state and its Native American history? The current economic crisis is an impetus for us to re-think our values. Shouldn't we start thinking about what is most important, before it's too late?
What would the world be without our special natural places in nature with the birds and wildlife?
I recommend that everyone go out and visit Oak Flat and see for yourself why it's worth saving, while enjoying the official U.S. 60 alongside Queen's Creek. And invite Kyl and McCain to check it out too.
Tell us about closed roads
I just waited 20-plus minutes to cross a street due to a marathon in progress. Why not place a road closed sign at that point so drivers can make that choice as to whether they want to wait or take another street?
Tell student about state
I am a fifth grader at Napa Valley Language Academy in Napa, Calif. The reason I am writing you is because my class is doing a state report and I have chosen your terrific state, Arizona.
I would really like it if you posted my letter in your newspaper so that I can get all the help I need for my report. What I need from you or your readers are pamphlets, postcards, souvenirs or anything else that would be useful.
I will be writing about your state's agriculture, history, economy, famous people, events, historical figures and national parks. I will also be giving an oral report, poster and Microsoft Power Point presentation. Thank you for your support and help in making me a great researcher of your astounding state.
You can send this information to Jacob Kuchta, C/O Mrs. Franco, 2700 Kilburn Ave., Napa Valley Language Academy, Napa, CA, 94558.
Munger offered new vision
I am pleased to see that someone can see through all the "doom and gloom" out there and develop solutions to our problems.
John F. Munger is a visionary and someone we can count on to create possibilities in our state. He will be able to do this with the effective use of the private sector and not head in the direction of government spending.
Munger touches on transportation, educational, and other infrastructure in his recent guest column ("A privatized stimulus plan," Opinion 2, March 1). These are areas Arizona has not been able to keep pace with. This is the "real" change we need in Arizona.
If companies are willing and able to provide these services to the state, why wouldn't we take them up on this offer? Munger mentions thousands of jobs would be created, more prosperity would be brought to our area, and additional tax revenues would be generated with these activities.
Why would we want to allow the bureaucratic system to continue lagging behind the potential of our state? Now is the time to bring in someone who can think outside the box and come up with solutions to our continuous dilemmas. John F. Munger is my choice to fulfill on this vision.
On the brink of bankruptcy
I read how Arizona is on the verge of bankruptcy. Maybe the Arizona state government is going bankrupt. They are two different things. To insist on equating one with the other is arrogant.
Eliminate runoffs with ranked voting
There are runoffs being planned all over the East Valley, runoffs that could be resolved in a more efficient and beneficial manner. Some are in Cave Creek, Carefree and Gilbert. Each causes delays and extra (unnecessary) costs. What's the solution?
Use Ranked Choice Voting where voters indicate their choices on the original ballot just in case it goes to a runoff. Hence it is sometimes called Instant Runoff Voting. These systems would always elect the favorite candidate, a majority winner; and would eliminate the runoff costs.
There are many benefits. Since voters rank their choices candidates would compete for being your second choice, if not your first — leading to a wider base of support. There is more voter turnout in initial elections compared to runoffs, a better reflection of the community.
If you live in a city that has changed its schedule to a fall election, the vote could be on one November date when most come to the polls. Finally there is the dual benefit that people would have no pressure to vote for a preconceived "winner." If your first choice gets bumped off, your second choice would get added in, truly not wasting your vote.
We wouldn't be the first: Ranked Choice Voting is currently used in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and in cities like Burlington, Vt., Minneapolis, Cambridge, Mass., San Francisco and multiple cities in North Carolina. To fully accommodate overseas and military ballots, it is used by Louisiana, Arkansas and South Carolina.
Like opting for solar energy, there would be some up-front costs to implementing a new system (although North Carolina has proven it can be done for little). In the end there would be the added benefit of regular financial savings from avoiding runoffs.

Gators restructure amidst lofty predictions

The reputation of the Florida Gators basketball program has never been better. It's a fact that coach Billy Donovan lost maybe more production than any other coach in college basketball as Scottie Wilbekin, Patric Young, Casey Prather, and Will Yeguete graduated and took 57.9 percent of the Gators' points and 51 percent of their rebounding with them from a year ago. With that, though, the Gators are a perennial Top 10 team regardless of which magazine you read or what poll you peruse. Donovan is closing in on 500 wins as a head coach as he starts his 21st year and […]
