Awesome! Its truly awesome piece of writing, I have
got much clear idea concerning from this article.

Dear Sarah
I am writing you to let you know that I really liked your Achtung! Cthulhu: Three Kings adventure.
Personally I've gotten so used to running adventures dealing with 100% fictional events and settings, that I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that a lot of people and locations in Three Kings were actually real! You must have done a lot of research when you started writing this. I for one had trouble with finding a lot of information on Frantisek Moravec. His wikipedia article is very brief and most other information I managed to find on the internet were all in Czech. It was a bit frustrating for me, as I had to play him during the mission briefing scene and I was getting the feeling I couldn't accurately portray him because I knew so little about him. Luckily the players didn't ask him any personal questions and stayed focused on the mission at hand.
In any case, I ran the adventure last weekend, and although several players were a bit skeptic at first, everyone really enjoyed themselves.
And since we've recently started recording our play sessions, we've put it on Youtube.
We were thinking you might get a kick out of it, so I'd humbly like to present you the following link:
Hopefully we did your product justice and if you like it, you could perhaps share this video with others.

Hi Sarah, I can't seem to find the Mindjammer FATE supplement anywhere in PDF. Also, I'm a bit confused as to whether it has been expanded in the "Expansionary Era" version that I've found on a few sites, i.e.
I've also found a physical copy in my local game store, but I'm holding off buying in case there is an updated version in the works.
Can you shed some light on what the current status is?
A. Asohan permalinkFebruary 20, 2012 6:08 am
I have checked out the Mindjammer preview pdf, and am quite impressed. How tied in is the setting to the FATE mechanics? I have Starblazer, but have doubts whether the system would work for me (and just as importantly, my group). I am on my second read-through of Heroquest 2 (still trying to grok it, but getting more and more inspired and convinced it's my Holy Grail of Gaming Systems), so I am wondering how easy it would be to port.
Yes, I also realise that with HQ2, you convert the setting, not the system … but go ahead, sell me on Mindjammer as an HQ setting :)
Andrew McDonagh permalinkNovember 27, 2011 11:25 pm
Hi it was nice to meet you and sadly I do regret not buying a copy a copy of your book. Also I was unlucky with my timing not to get the copy of the monster Starblazer book. I will look forward to buying a copy of this next time.

On a holiday in the Pacific island of Bora Bora, Pauline Lee found her inspiration for her nail polish brand amongst the magic of the Frangipani trees. The heady fragrance, vibrant colours and the purity of the Frangipani flower, were the foundations for the Frangipani nail colour range. The five petaled flower was a symbol of the natural beauty of a woman's hand and her fingers.
Back in 2003, Frangipani was the first salon brand in China to demand that their range of nail polishes be free of the chemicals formaldehyde, camphor, DPB or toluene. This was totally unheard of at that time for the other market brands.
Committed to bringing quality nail polishes to the Chinese market and raising the bar on salon performance, Frangipani only uses formulas imported from France's most advanced nail polish laboratory, and glass bottles and brushes from Italy, to achieve perfect colour application each time.
At Frangipani, our philosophy is about a professional approach to healthy beautiful nails. We recognize the importance of finding that "right" colour for your personality, your mood, or your celebrations without compromising on the quality of our products and a healthier option for your body.
Seeing the number of soon to be moms, or brand new moms who come to our salons for service, it's clear that these women appreciate the fact that there is an alternative in the market place.

Bryant University released their inaugural Division I schedule today. Along with their foes in the North East Conference, Coach Mike Pressler dove right into stiff DI competition. The Bulldogs open their season against perennial powerhouse Virginia. Contests with Army, Loyola, Maryland, Penn, and Brown add additional highlights to this schedule.
From Bryant University:
SMITHFIELD, R.I. – Head coach Mike Pressler is pleased to announce the 2009 Bryant University men's lacrosse schedule, as the Bulldogs get set to debut at the Division I level in the spring of 2009.
Bryant won't shy away from tough, top-tier competition in its inaugural Division I season, facing off against the best of the best throughout its 2009 campaign – a schedule that includes a date with 2008 Final Four participant the University of Virginia, who the Bulldogs will open their season against on Feb. 16.
But the Cavaliers are not the only tough matchup the Bulldogs will face. A trio of Bryant's opponents –Virginia, Loyola (Md.) and the University of Maryland – qualified for the 2008 NCAA tournament.
"There is no doubt that our transition to Division I lacrosse in the spring of 2009 will be challenging, to say the least," said Mike Pressler, who enters his third season as Bryant's head coach. "We just ended our Division II tenure against one of the Division's best teams in Le Moyne College, and we open up Division I against one of the most respected programs of all time in the University of Virginia."
The Bulldogs will host seven home games while travelling to eight road contests, all against some of the most stringent competition at the Division I level.
Bryant opens its season with four-straight road contests, including an exhibition against Pressler's alma mater Washington & Lee University, a regular-season opener against Virginia and bouts with future Northeast Conference rival Sacred Heart University and the Ivy League's Dartmouth College.
The Bulldogs then return to Smithfield, R.I. to host the second of three future NEC opponents in their 2009 home-opener, as Wagner College visits the Bryant Turf Complex on Sat., Feb. 28 at 1 p.m.
Bryant then takes to the road for another four away contests, where the Bulldogs will challenge Patriot League regular-season co-champion Army on March 4 before spring break contests against Mount Saint Mary's (NEC, 2011), ECAC champion Loyola College and Maryland (ACC).
Bryant's final road contest comes on March 28 when it travels to Lehigh University, but not until after the Bulldogs host two home matchups against the University of Detroit-Mercy (March 20) and the University of Pennsylvania (March 22).
The Bulldogs closes out their 2009 slate with four-straight home games against Brown (March 31), Presbyterian College (April 10), Bellamine University (April 18) and Holy Cross (April 22).
"With the Bulldogs unable to quality for the postseason for the next two years, we had to give our players the kind of schedule they could hang their hat on," said Pressler, "one that would be a challenge and one they could look forward to playing."
In its first year of transition to the Division I ranks, the Bulldogs enter the first of a two-year mandatory waiting period in 2009 that will prevent Bryant from postseason play until 2011, when it will help foster the six-team NEC Men's Lacrosse League. The other five members include Northeast Conference core member institutions Mount St. Mary's (MAAC), Quinnipiac (GWLL), Robert Morris (CAA), Sacred Heart (CAA), and Wagner (MAAC).
In 2008, The Bulldogs went 14-4 in their final season of Division II competition, beating NCAA runner-up Le Moyne College to win the Northeast-10 Conference tournament and earn its first NCAA tournament Final Four berth.

DETROIT — The Detroit Lions need linebackers, and the Seattle Seahawks had one to spare.
Detroit acquired Pro Bowl linebacker Julian Peterson on Saturday from the Seattle Seahawks for defensive tackle Cory Redding and a fifth-round pick in next month's NFL draft. Both players must pass physicals to complete the trade.
The Seahawks gave Peterson a $54 million, seven-year contract three years ago after their Super Bowl appearance in Detroit. Peterson became an expensive asset because linebacker Leroy Hill got $8.4 million guaranteed this year with a franchise tag and Lofa Tatupu signed a $42 million contract a year ago.
During its winless season, the lack of talent at linebacker was one of Detroit's glaring problems.
The Seahawks, meanwhile, had one of the league's best trios with Peterson, Tatupu and Hill.
After being Seattle's only player in the Pro Bowl, Peterson was dealt after a five-sack, 83-tackle season. He had 9.5 sacks and 10 sacks in his first two years with the Seahawks, the highest totals of his nine-year career.
The San Francisco 49ers drafted Peterson with the 16th overall pick in 2000 after he starred at Michigan State. The native of Temple Hills, Md., has 46 career sacks and eight interceptions.
Detroit is taking on a lucrative contract by adding Peterson, but the franchise is also taking a big one off the books.
The Lions gave Redding a seven-year contract worth nearly $50 million two years ago when they slapped the franchise tag on him after he had a career-high eight sacks.
But Redding had only one sack in 2007 and three last season as a team leader of the NFL's first 0-16 season.
Detroit drafted the native of Houston with a third-round pick in 2003. The former Texas standout was used sparingly as a rookie before starting every game in four straight years and 12 last season. Redding has 16 sacks and 162 tackles over his six-season career.
Tags: 50 Million, Adrian Peterson, Bowl Appearance, Career Sacks, Contract Worth, Detroit Lions, franchise tag, Julian Peterson, Leroy Hill, linebackers, Lucrative Contract, nfl draft, pro bowl, Redding, San Francisco 49ers, SEATTLE SEAHAWKS, Standout, Tatupu

Mets' missing piece is still missing
PORT ST. LUCIE — Some things you simply need to see for yourself.
So I did.
I drove to the New York Mets' Tradition Field complex in St. Lucie West to see someone who wasn't there — who hadn't been there since late March and, probably, will never be there again — just to be sure.
I went out to see Johan Santana.
Remember him?
The two-time Cy Young Award winner the Mets acquired from the Minnesota Twins in February 2008 and promptly signed to a six-year, $137.5 million contract?
The pitching ace who, upon his arrival, was heralded as the missing piece to the Mets' championship puzzle?
The left-hander who, on June 1, 2012, threw a career-high 134 pitches against the St. Louis Cardinals to complete the first no-hitter in what was then the Mets' 51-year history?
"He hasn't been around here, not at all," Mets major league pitching rehabilitation coordinator Jon Debus said. "I haven't seen him since spring training."
That was the last time Santana pitched.
It was during spring training in March that Santana re-tore the anterior capsule in his left shoulder — the same injury that required surgery in September 2010 and cost him the entire 2011 season — and he underwent a second operation in April.
This most-recent injury ended his 2013 season
before it began, the second time in his six years in New York that Santana missed a full season. He's in the final year of his contract with the Mets, who own an option for 2014 but almost certainly will exercise a $5.5 million buyout clause.
Still, Santana has vowed to pitch again.
Although Santana wasn't here — and his New York-based agent Chris Lieble was unavailable for comment — ESPNNewYork.com reported that the four-time All-Star gave an interview in Spanish, via Twitter, to a radio station in his native Venezuela on Aug. 1.
"I am in the process of rehabilitation," Santana tweeted, according to ESPN's translation. "The operation was done by Dr. (David) Altchek and everything went successfully. I feel much better than how I felt after the first operation.
"I have in mind to return to the mound. The doctors did their part. Now it's up to me for the most difficult part.
"Maybe I threw my last pitch for the Mets. Some say my career is over. I do not think so. I don't put dates on it. It is not the most prudent. They believe that in a month I already could start throwing."
Several reports out of New York say Santana is doing his rehab work in Fort Myers, where he lives, and has had little contact with his teammates, stopping by Citi Field only once — in June.
Mets manager Terry Collins told reporters that he and Santana have exchanged only occasional text messages during the season.
And that's telling.
It tells us the six-year marriage between Santana and the Mets is effectively over, leaving both sides in this star-crossed relationship ready to move on after producing a ho-hum 46-34 record, no playoff appearances and two seasons lost to injury.
Their parting is merely a matter of paperwork and a payoff.
"I wouldn't have any idea where he's at in his rehab," Debus said. "I wish I did. But I'm here all the time and I haven't seen him. Obviously, he's doing it on his own."
Obviously, Santana has absolutely no interest in being here — which is what I had figured all along.
Still, I had to be sure.
Some things you need to see for yourself.

Louise Harris, of College Hill, has gone up to three days without food after losing her job.
- Filed Under
The poor and hungry in Hamilton County have less of a chance of getting food stamps on time than anywhere else in the state.
Only 45 percent of applications filed in November for food stamps in Hamilton County were processed on time, an Enquirer analysis of Ohio Department of Job and Family Services data shows.
That gave Hamilton County the worst record among Ohio's 88 counties for five months running. At its lowest point, in September, only 37 percent of the county's food stamp applications were being processed in the required 30-day window. ...

The GJ Chair was designed by Grete Jalk in 1963 and is today regarded as the Danish designer's best-known work. The chair, for which Jalk also created a companion side table, was realized in collaboration with the cabinetmaker Poul Jeppesen. Although it won first prize in a competition organized by the British newspaper Daily Mail during the year of its inception, the chair never went into industrial production. In part due to the complexity of the chair's design, only around 300 copies were originally produced and only a few remain in existence today. Grete Jalk's honesty and genuine interest in every aspect of quality has made her the conscience of Danish design.
Lange Production chose to relaunch the GJ Chair in the original wood species in 2008. All of the pieces are manufactured in Denmark by the leading manufacturer of moulded plywood products.

Nieuwsfoto'sBril,For sale - Korte frase,Geloof,Geschiedenis,Hangen,Horizontaal,Hyderabad - India,India,Monument,StadPhotographer NOAH SEELAMCollection: AFP 2012 AFPThe historic monument Charminar is reflected in spectacles hanging up for sale in the old city of Hyderabad on November 17, 2012. Restrictions were lifted on the movement of people and vehicular traffic around Charminar, where a mob indulged in stone pelting and trouble broke out after the noon prayers following the controversy over the newly erected structure near the Bhagyalaxmi temple. Muslims, supported by the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) party, opposed the move fearing that the temporary structure would pave the way for the permanent construction of a larger temple near the Charminar monument.

Inspired by WoW's Power Auras this is a fully configurable alerting system. Track what you want how you want. Setup alerts for such things as...
- A debuff you want to keep up on your target
- Your focus is low on life
- An ability just came off cooldown
- You are running low on mana
- much much more...
Getting Started:
As KaruulAlert is completely customizable it needs to know a little about your character before you start. The first time you run it, a simple tutorial should be shown to help you get started. If you want to start it again manually, type /kalert tutorial.
If you are still missing abilities or buffs after going through the tutorial, you can enable the ability scanner at any time.
- Open configuration (/karuulalert or /kalert)
- Check the Enable Ability Scanner check box on the lower right of the configuration screen
- Switch roles, buff up, click on random players (load their buffs too) or simply play for a while
- Once done disable the ability scanner to save resources.
At this point you will have a good amount of items to choose from but to get the full list of what you can do play around a little. Now you should have all you need to get going. First stop Name, what do you want to call this alert you are making? After that it's just a matter of checking off what you want to track, typing in the ability or buff and choosing what your alert will look like.
- Open configuration (/karuulalert or /kalert)
- Enter a Name for your alert
- Select Buff, Ability, or Resource and fill
- Select when you want to be notified
- Select who the alert will look at
- Enter the name of the buff/ability or select the resource.
- Customize the alert
- Click Save
You now have an alert for your gaming pleasure.
Special Thanks

Thanks for all your hard work Thorarin Just wanted you to know how much you have increased my game play with this add-on.

Hi, I wanted to make an alert to show how many stacks I have of the riftstalker buff power of the planes but I couldn't get it to work - the problem turns out to be that there are two buffs with the exact same name "power of the planes" active at the same time, one of which just says that it adds stacks and the other actually having the stacks. I put in a ticket to ask them to change this but I'm not holding my breath. I don't suppose you could pretty please put in a way to get this to work?
edit: I found a workaround for this that works most of the time so don't bother.Last edited Oct 22, 2013 by wmgm

I love Karuulalert! I couldn't play without it! But i'm still having to add other addons to 'complete' the experience.
for example, could something like the following addon be added to Karuulalert ? Link to different addon which shows when you are in melee range, among other ranges
I asked this as a warrior who has some problems staying connected, or for that matter staying at a 'proper' distance for a closer to work.

Is there a way to show an alert based on two or more conditions?
ie: Ability = Ready & Resource-Combo Points = Below 4

Awesome Addon, thanks keeping it updated

Document Number: 6712Parsing the Achievement Gap: Baselines for Tracking Progress - Gaps in school achievement among racial and ethnic groups and between low-income and higher-income students are well documented. This publication examines the conditions that help create and perpetuate these gaps and identifies 14 factors that correlate to student achievement. "Before and Beyond School" factors include: birth weight, lead poisoning, hunger and nutrition, reading to young children, television watching, parent availability, student mobility and parent participation. "In School" factors include: rigor of curriculum, teacher experience and attendance, teacher preparation, class size, technology-assisted instruction and school safety. Statistical data indicated that children's experience with each factor differed based on race/ethnicity and income. A larger purpose of this framework is to encourage a periodic assessment of progress in closing gaps on each factor between student groups. (Paul E. Barton, Educational Testing Service, October 2003)...

With the current lease set to expire, Greyhound officials will be looking to move the bus depot to a new location. North Main residents in Columbia held a forum to discuss prospects of moving it there.
Columbia, SC (WLTX) -- The Greyhound bus depot in downtown Columbia will be moving.
The station has sat at the corner of Gervais and Laurens Streets since 1992, said Lanesha Gipson a spokesperson for Greyhound.
That location is now up for sale with a $2.75 million price tag, said James Spangler of Fuzion Business and Real Estate Solutions.
Because the land is being sold, the Greyhound bus depot must move by the time the lease is up in July, and Greyhound is eyeing a number of locations throughout the Columbia area, including the North Main Street area
People who live in that community held a forum Monday voicing their opposition to the bus depot calling that neighborhood home.
With Greyhound looking for a new location to park their buses, residents in North Columbia are saying no to reports those buses may be coming to their back yards.
Gipson said more than one location in the North Main area is being looked at, but did not say exactly where those locations are.
"We feel that it's going to make a big impact on the traffic," said Karen Walker, who attended the forum with her husband, Freddie, and 10-year-old son Kaleb. "We feel like the crime rate will probably go up, and we just don't feel that it's safe for our children."
The Walker family has called North Columbia home for more than 20 years. They were joined by elected county officials and members of the state legislature in their opposition to the move.
Many said the current Greyhound location is a drop off point for prisoners getting released.
Because the lease with property owners ends in July, Greyhound must pick a new location fast.
"Our new facility - we'd like to have easy access to interstates," Gipson said in a phone interview Monday. "We're looking for locations that are going to best serve our community and our customers."
Also among the list of what Gipson said the company is looking for in a new location is a central location to multiple neighborhoods, but Rep. Joe McEachern, D-Richland County, was not sold.
"Where it was downtown on Gervais Street, that was the perfect location," McEachern said.
Columbia City Councilman Sam Davis, whose council district encompasses much of the north Main street area said the location is not good for business growth.
"That is something they're not going to be comfortable with," Davis said of the businesses.
Officials said they were hoping to meet with officials from Greyhound within the next ten days, and hoped to have a complete resolution to the issue within the next 20 days.
Gipson said those currently employed at the current facility should keep their jobs when the company moves and hopes to be in that new location by July.

Women's Leadership Development Process Launched
KC&A has launched a new leadership development process designed to address the unique challenges faced by women leaders. The process is named
. It was created in response to recurring requests by clients and by women in leadership roles.
Employers sincerely want the women in their ranks to have equal opportunity to rise to the challenge of leadership positions. Equalibrium creates an awareness of the unique challenges women face so they may acquire the tools and skills they need to succeed. The core concept of the process is 'being my best self'. Many of the challenges faced by women leaders are created within themselves. Equalibrium identifies the obstacles women often create for themselves and provides proven strategies for dealing with them effectively.
The initial offering of Equalibrium was conducted in Anniston, Alabama in April 2013 with a roundtable of women from Alabama and Georgia who represented different employers - electrical generation companies, federal contractors, the banking industry, the trucking industry, retail, technology, and non-profits were represented. The feedback was extremely positive and helped KC&A team members hone the process.
The leadership team on the development process has been KC&A associates Beth Lanier, Deb Miller, and Christy Beem. For more information about Equalibrium, please contact Deb Miller

HEUVELTON – There are two contested board of education seats in Heuvelton this year, one full five-year term and a two-year term.
The two-year term is left over from the resignation of Richard Moores December.
Thirty-year veteran of the board and current Vice President Dr. John P. Jack Zeh is running for reelection this year.
A resident of Heuvelton since 1979, Dr. Zeh, a veterinarian, had two children who grew up in the Heuvelton district.
It did a tremendous job for them, Dr. Zeh said. I definitely think they got a good basic education at Heuvelton.
I think that right now is one of the most challenging times in education in my 30 years on the board, he said. Were trying to explore a lot of different options for whats best for children and tax payer. Id like to see them through.
Faced with financial pressures and possible regionalization, Dr. Zeh said, Things cant stay the way they are right now, its just not doable. I want to make sure that when changes do happen the community has as many options as possible.
Michelle A. McGaw is also running for election to the board of education this year.
Mrs. McGaw was appointed to the board Jan. 23 in order to fill the seat left by Mr. Moore.
The mother of four, Mrs. McGaw has three children in the district and a baby who is still at home.
Mrs. McGaw could not be reached for this story.
The final candidate for the board of education this year is Darcy L. (Perry) Backus, a lifelong resident of Heuvelton.
The Center Manager at Lincare in Ogdensburg, Mrs. Backus supervises a staff of 12 and is responsible for providing respiratory care to more than 1,000 customers in the county.
Im responsible for the budget, cost controls, staffing decision everything from sales and marketing all the way through, she said, adding that she believes this responsibility has prepared her for the challenge of serving on the board.
Mrs. Backus is also planning on sending her children to Heuvelton when theyre old enough. She is expecting her second child on Monday.
Its nice to know that Ill have an impact before they get there, she said.
I think I have a lot to give, Mrs. Backus, a former volunteer EMT with the Heuvelton Fire Department, said. I look forward to taking the opinions of parents and teachers and finding the compromise that works.
Polls in Heuvelton will be open from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Poulton Auditorium.

Laura Ortiz – a U.S. Army National Guard veteran and Paralympic champion – has never been one to shy away from a challenge.
44-year-old was hired recently as the lead instructor for the
joins Chicago and San Antonio as the third major U.S. metro to implement
Ortiz was born in Puerto Rico and raised, along with her two siblings, by a single mom in New York and New Jersey. She was inspired by a diverse range of influences growing up, and she was active in both sports and an array of social causes. At 23, she signed up for the Army National Guard, where she served eight years as a combat medic and technician.
"I was looking for a greater sense of self-worth… something that would break me down and build me back up again," she says of her decision to enlist.
She later worked as a lab technician at a blood bank in Maryland before moving to Miami in 1998, where a friend encouraged her to enroll in massage therapy school. She graduated at the top of her class and quickly built a strong clientele of tennis players and other athletes.
A few years later, she took in her mother – who suffered from hypertension, diabetes and asthma – to care for her at night.
"She was preparing me for what I was going to endure," Laura says.
Four months after her mom passed away, she faced her greatest challenge yet: becoming an amputee at the age of 38. While riding her motorcycle home from work, she was hit from behind and thrown 50 feet. Her right leg was severed below the knee upon impact.
An experienced motorcyclist, Ortiz took every safety course offered and was never reckless. "I was close to home," she says, recalling the evening of her July 2008 accident. "That's where they say your guard comes down."
"I was in the middle of the street and realized I was still in harm's way," she continues, "so I dragged myself to the curb as a driver stopped and applied a makeshift tourniquet, called 911 and kept me awake."
She looked down to see what was left of her mangled leg. "I knew it would no longer be a part of me," she says, pausing. "And I was okay with that."
A helicopter transported her to a local trauma center, where she lost two pints of blood in 20 minutes. When her doctors broke the news that her leg would need to be amputated just below the knee, she asked them to draw a line where they would make the incision so she could mentally prepare for her new reality.
Ortiz spent only a week in the hospital before committing to an intense rehab program. After several months on crutches, she was fitted for a prosthetic leg.
"I knew I'd gotten a second chance," she says. "I felt a great sense of urgency to give back, and to take advantage of the opportunities that would come my way."
And they did. Within a year of her accident, she was invited to attend a mobile running clinic and a U.S. Paralympic training camp, where she worked with coaches, nutritionists and fellow athletes. She ran track in high school and was eager to lace up again.
"Feeling the breeze on my face made me feel alive again," she recalls.
Ortiz went on to win gold and silver medals in U.S. Paralympic track events and complete two Paralympic triathlons. She's currently training with the U.S. Paralympic Parasailing team.
"My goal is to continue to do things I fear," she said. "So far, everything I've accomplished is because I've allowed myself to remain open to possibilities."
A few years ago, she started working at a local YMCA as a fitness instructor for active older adults, growing the program from two to 45 participants. She became a certified personal trainer and taught spinning and yoga classes before being promoted to wellness and fitness coordinator.
And that's when yet another opportunity – to spearhead
the local chapter of
Now a few months into the job, she says she's eager to help people of all ages and walks of life get and stay fit through increased access to nutrition and physical activity programs – with a focus on fun and camaraderie.
"This was meant to be," she says. "This is my lifestyle… I'm vested."
"My hope is that our community embraces the resources and opportunities they now have," Ortiz concludes. "And that they will be empowered to make healthier choices."

Senator Steve Saland Announces Funding For Hudson Waterfront
Senator Steve Saland (R,I,C Poughkeepsie) today announced he has secured funding in the 2008-2009 State Budget for enhancements for the City of Hudson Waterfront.
The City of Hudson owns a small dock which is leased to the Spirit of Hudson River Cruise Liner, which has benefitted the City. That business, however, may move to a community with larger dock space. The City will use this grant to enlarge the dock to create space for both the Cruise Liner and other vessels wishing to moor there. Additionally, the City plans to build a concession stand to offer refreshments to visitors to the waterfront park, creating an additional revenue stream.
"Municipalities located on the Hudson River have realized that creating an inviting waterfront is not only an economic stimulus which generates revenues, but provides a place for the public to connect with the river creating community vitality," said Senator Saland. I'm glad I was able to help the City with this very worthwhile project by securing this grant."
"As Mayor of the City of Hudson, I want to express my deep appreciation to Senator Saland for securing this grant. While we enjoy an exciting waterfront, it's clear that our docking facilities are inadequate. These much needed monies will assure us of economic and recreational opportunities we otherwise wouldn't have," said Rick Scalera, Mayor of Hudson.

John O'Neill in 'So Kaye
Presented by American Classics at The Longy School of Music
November 3, 2013
For the first time American Classics will present a guest performer in their own concert, acclaimed entertainer John O'Neil in his popular salute to Danny Kaye, 'So Kaye, a one man "tongue-twisting tour-de force" showcasing songs, stories and monologues culled from Kaye's illustrious career.
'So Kaye was nominated for the prestigious IRNE award in 2001; since that time O'Neil has performed the show up and down the East Coast from Maine to Florida. "Adding John O'Neil and 'So Kaye to our season is exciting for us. John has appeared with us in the past, but we are delighted to be able to showcase him in one of his most popular shows," says Producing Director Benjamin Sears, who notes, "this is Kaye's centenary year, so it's a perfect time to feature John in an American Classics season."
John O'Neil, one of New England's finest cabaret actors (Niagara Falls Gazette), has also been recognized by the Boston Globe as one of New England's best-known cabaret artists. Regularly appearing at popular nightclubs and cabarets across the country, an evening with John O'Neil equally charms the lover of the soulful cocktail pianist and the fan of the art of cabaret. His show Camp Songs was named one of the year's 10 best cabarets by Bay Windows newspaper in 2000. O'Neil made his New York debut at Danny's Skylight Room in Being Earnest: The Songs of Ernie Lijoi, also named one of Boston's best cabaret shows in 2001. Reviewers have called his show, Not That You Asked, "a perfect mix of standup comedy, song and personal anecdote" and "the best show of the season so far, cabaret or comedy, theater or soapbox." In August of 2002, O'Neil released his CD 'So Kaye: The Songs of Danny Kaye at Musikfest, the nation's oldest and largest music festival. In March of 2003, the Independent Reviewers of New England presented O'Neil with a special recognition award for his many contributions to the field of cabaret. In the fall o2003, Black Arrow Entertainment produced a one hour video featuring O'Neil called Portrait of a Cabaret Singer.
In addition to his talents as an accomplished soloist, O'Neil often performs with local cabaret performers and has appeared on stage with the internationally acclaimed Ann Hampton Callaway. Theater lovers have seen him on stage in Kander and Ebb's And the World Goes 'Round and in the starring role of Miss Gulch Returns. O'Neil is an enterprising educator, operating his own vocal studio, mounting performance master classes, and teaching at diverse educational institutions such as Wheelock Family Theater, Riverside Cabaret Institute, and Wind Song Educational Institute in Taiwan.
Performances of 'So Kaye are Friday, November 1 at 7:30 at the Follen Community Church in Lexington and Sunday, November 3 at 3pm at the Pickman Concert Hall of the Longy School of Music, 27 Garden Street, Cambridge.

It was founded in 1951 and is named in honor of John Timmins, VMI Class of '49, a lover of classical music who died in Korea in 1950, and Professor Emeritus Tom Gentry, VMI Class of '44, who was its faculty adviser and guiding spirit for 47 years. For a description of its general activities, click here.
This page contains information on the Society's current activities and events, primarily for its members. It is always under construction and is updated often, so members should check it regularly. To see last year's events and activities, click here.
Details of concert series at Washington & Lee and Garth Newel, as well as concerts at VMI, are posted on this page as they become available.

There are few places as wild and beautiful as the coast of Raglan, New Zealand. On a windswept afternoon, great mountains of cold gray water roll in from the tempestuous southern Pacific. Their power is unfathomable: trillions of cubic feet of water traveling at 3 feet per second, unhindered for days across thousands of miles of open sea before crashing to shore. Riding them on a surfboard feels like waltzing with the most untamed and uncontrollable forces of the universe. Or, as Kerry Black yells when we climb out of the tumbling surf, "It's ripping, mate!"

Rants & Raves
People like Black come from all over the world to play on Raglan's storied waves, made famous in the classic surfing film The Endless Summer. A perfect, fast-moving, steeply breaking wave 8 feet high is that most evanescent of things - coveted, sought after, dreamed about, a serendipitous state of grace pursued to the ends of the earth because it's so rare. The seabed shapes that produce these special waves are known as breaks in surfing lingo and are legends all: Places like Oahu's Pipeline. Bali's Bingin. New Zealand's Raglan. And in early 2005, thanks to Black, these waves will be in steady supply at the Ron Jon surf park at the Festival Bay Mall in Orlando, Florida, open 6 am to midnight, 365 days a year, Visa and MasterCard accepted.
"I reckon that the pioneering search for the best breaks is just beginning again," says Black, peeling off his wet suit. "But this time it's going to be on artificial surf."
Black, 53, appears every bit the aging hippie surf bum: unshaven, with unkempt hair and bushy eyebrows, wearing a baggy wool sweater full of holes. But this 35-year veteran of some of the world's most remote beaches knows more about breaking waves than anyone. The archdruid of surf has undergrad degrees in math and geophysics. His master's thesis - written in a house overlooking Sunset Beach on the North Shore of Oahu - is a 240-page work titled "Wave Transformation Over Coral Reefs." His PhD thesis is even thicker: a two-volume tome called "Sediment Transport and Inland Tidal Inlet Hydraulics." Until two years ago, he was a professor of coastal oceanography and numerical modeling at the University of Waikato in Hamilton, New Zealand, and the list alone of his published scientific papers fills 60 pages. "Black's work is groundbreaking," says Charles Finkl, director of the Coastal Education and Research Foundation in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Black has cracked the code of the world's great breaks; they now lie dissected, quantified, and digitized in his computer, ready to be reconstituted anywhere - especially indoors. With the push of a button, his patented pool floors will morph into an almost infinite variety of shapes to produce steep 8-foot-high tubes that peel for 100 yards, or gentle 3-foot rollers that peak after 40, or waves that break to the left or right every 12 seconds, all under a transparent dome and available for a few bucks a ride.
"Mate, you'll be riding real, world-class waves," says Black, tying his board onto the car. "There'll be a reef, and the dynamics and breaking process will be the same. The social atmosphere will be the same - you'll sit in the water and talk while waiting for a wave. Afterward, you'll have a beer. It'll be a complete parallel universe."
Russia, Israel, Romania - Black is fielding calls from developers across the globe interested in using his technology to create their own endless summer. Tacky as it may sound, reproducing a place like Raglan under glass in a suburban American mall could solve the sport's great conundrum: too many surfers, too few good places to surf, and no way for the sport to grow - a necessity in the eyes of its promoters. Skateboarding and snowboarding, imitations inspired by the waveriding original, have long eclipsed their parent. Snowboarding, not even 20 years old, is already an Olympic sport. But how many people can jump on an airplane and head to Bali or New Zealand, or even southern California? Professional surfers want more prize money; the promoters who market them want the televised contests and commercial sponsorship that will happen only if the sport expands beyond its coastal parochialism. It doesn't matter how yummy Kate Bosworth looks in Blue Crush - surfing will remain on the fringe as long as consistent waves are a distant dream to kids in Dubuque.
"A good pool would open up a whole new door to the sport," says 2001 professional world champion surfer C. J. Hobgood. There will always be the Tahitis and Fijis, he says, "but if you could surf in Middle America, it would introduce the sport to people who've never had that opportunity. It would be so rad!" And even in a place like Fiji, Mother Nature can ruin your plans. "I was in Tahiti last week," Hobgood says, "and the waves weren't even a foot high."
"The only thing that's held surfing back is geography," says Mitch Varnes, a former editor at Surfing magazine who now manages Hobgood and seven other professional surfers. "When municipalities started turning tennis courts into skateparks, skateboarding exploded. If the Orlando park lives up to expectations, there's no reason it can't be replicated in Detroit or Chicago, opening the sport up to explosive growth. How about the 2012 summer Olympics in New York City in a surf pool!"
While replicating Raglan in a building is not easy, basic wave pools are nothing new. The world's first appeared in Tempe, Arizona, way back in 1969. Inject a shot of air into a flooded concrete chamber, known as a caisson, and a wave tumbles out of an underwater slot. Today, there are hundreds of such pools worldwide. A few - Walt Disney World's Typhoon Lagoon, the Seagaia Ocean Dome in Japan, Dorney Park in Allentown, Pennsylvania - have even hosted surfing competitions. But, Hobgood points out, "The waves are mushy, don't stand up, have no power, and dissipate quickly." And, unlike Black's pools, they use fresh water, which is so much less buoyant that it requires a thicker board, reducing a surfer's performance. "I've surfed Typhoon Lagoon a bunch of times," Hobgood says. "You get one maneuver and that's it."

Lezyne introduce RAP 7 LED multi-tool with integrated light
It's a multi-tool that incorporates a 1 lumen LED to help you fix stuff in the dark
Previous News
Next News
At the Cycle Show yesterday Lezyne showed us their brand new RAP 7 LED multi-tool, featuring an integrated LED light. Is it the first multi-tool to combine a light? We're certainly stuggling to think of any others out there.
The LED light uses four teeny AG1 batteries to power it, and clamps to the 5mm Allen tool with a small ball bearing holding it in place. Switching the light on is simple a case of rotating the body until the 1 lumen LED powers into life. Burntime is 3-4 hours.
The rest of the multi-tool is more standard with stamped aluminium sideplates and double bent tool bits so there's a centre pivot axis to rotate the tool on. There are seven tool bits, a 2.5, 4, 5 and 5mm Allen tools and a Torx T25 and Phillips head screwdriver.
Do you really need a multi-tool with an integrated LED? Well, we can possibly see the potential for making it easier to work on your bike if you have a mechanicla while cycling along a dimly lit city road or dark country lane, and it could save eating into the burn time of your main light.
What do you think?
at least you can see where it is when you inevitably drop it into the verge

Not a bad idea, but having it able to fix to either side of the tool would be more useful, I think. That way it could be left on the multi tool whilst it's in use, lessening the risk of losing the light/having to find somewhere to hold it.
(If you have to hold the light anyway, where's the advantage over taking one of your front lights off and using that...?)

nice but I think you can buy an LED keyring torch from a pound shop and continue to use your existing un-illuminated tool.

See, now that's a good idea. I find holding my cree torch in my mouth more than a little difficult when changing a tube in the dark.
Really, though?

I know this has been covered before, but...
Just noticed one of my license plate lights has went out. After looking on what kind of bulb to get I saw threads about an entire LED swap, including license plate, lights under door, and most interior lights. If anyone can provide reviews and suggestions on this it would be much appreciated such as best brand, links, pictures etc. Thanks -DM

I like them, they are brighter and whiter (as LEDs are) as opposed to the softer and yellower glow. I only mention it because it's very noticeable at night.
I like them though.

Re: I know this has been covered before, but...
I don't know whats going on lately, but like 5 threads about led lights, all of which have been covered before have been posted in the past week. Its easy enough to do a search. but no matter what, the led wedge bulbs are so cheap no matter where you go it doesn't matter, if something happens just replace them again
Re: I know this has been covered before, but...
I got mine on ebay, they were inexpensive and I originally had them on my 2010 and then moved them to my 2012 and they are doing fine. I changed every bulb in the car including trunk and glove box. Make sure you get SMD's I think that's what they are called. They last a lot longer. The only thing to be aware of is polarity. They will only work if you plug them in correctly. The good thing if you put them in and they don't work, just turn the bulb 180 degrees and plug them in again and they will work fine.

Car insurance is a "necessary evil" when it comes to car ownership. Although car insurance is very important, many people try to skip out on it because the benefits are not always directly seen. It can be hard to justify paying a hundred dollars or more each month for something you do not seem to be benefiting from, but car insurance is important regardless.
Car accidents are among the top causes of death around the world, and cause many more injuries. Safe drivers and bad drivers alike are at risk when they are on the road, because even perfect drivers cannot control the actions of others on the road. Additionally, things like windshield cracks, theft, vandalism, acts of nature, and animals can all cause damage to your car without you even needing to be in it! Car insurance helps protect you from all of these damages, which can potentially add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Without insurance, you would be stuck with this bill on your own. This can lead to bankruptcy or garnished wages for the rest of your life!
In basically every state in the United States you will be required to carry some level of car insurance. The specifics will depend on the state you live in, but typically you will be required to carry at least liability. Most states will not let you register your car or get it inspected without proof of insurance.
Even though you have to buy car insurance, this doesn't mean you have to buy the most expensive car insurance. Many insurance options are not necessary for most people, and there are many discounts available to lower your costs further. In order to find the best insurance for you, it is necessary to research car insurance quotes. It is ideal to find as many car insurance quotes as you can, as this is the best way to make sure your options are covered and you find the cheapest policy available. Always make sure the price reflects adequate coverage, as there are many cheap policies around that offer barely any coverage – making them a waste of money!
Although you can visit your local car insurance agency or call around, the easiest way to find car insurance quotes is online. You can visit many car insurance websites and get free, no obligation car insurance quotes. There are even websites dedicated to car insurance quotes that will give you multiple quotes after you fill out a single form. This maximizes your time savings, and helps you save the most money.
It is always a good idea to give the car insurance company a call directly after you decide on one, to make sure you are getting all available discounts. Although many times they will be offered online, some companies do not put them all online, or there might be some extra questions that can determine you are eligible for a discount that the online form missed.

Ashton Parish Council -
All the Ashton Parish Council details are now held on their web site. This can be found at:…..
Freeman of Ashton Celebration.
The Parish Council has the power under the Local Government Act 1972 to recognise distinguished service to the community by the granting of the title of Freeman or Freewoman to deserving individuals.
By its nature, the power is one that is designed to be used sparingly but earlier this year, the Parish Council resolved to grant Freeman status to Bernard Day who will become the first Freeman of Ashton.
Bernard has served the community in many ways for over 30 years, as a School Governor, Trustee of the Hut Land, Church Warden and PCC member, grounds man, bonfire lighter and firework letter-
To mark the occasion the Council, on behalf of the Ashton community will be presenting Bernard with a framed illuminated scroll at the drop-
The Council would be delighted to see as many residents as are able to attend, to share refreshments and make this a memorable occasion, not only for Bernard but for Ashton.

Parish Council Elections:
Nominations having now closed, South Northants Council has confirmed that there will be a contested election for Ashton Parish Council.
There are 8 candidates for the 7 positions so electors will given 3 ballot papers on 7th May, 1 for the General (Parliamentary) Election, 1 for the District Council Election and 1 for the Parish Council Election.
As there are seven vacancies, the procedure for voting in the Parish Council election will be different from the other two elections; having an elected Council is good for democracy, the community and those Councillors who are elected,
Please make sure you read and fully understand the procedure before you complete your ballot paper.

I have largely enjoyed my 16 years as your District Councillor. I wish you all and my successor all the best for the future.

Wind Farm Community Fund payment:
At the Parish Council on 8th April, the Council considered suggestions from residents as to how the 2015 Wind Farm Community Fund payment should be used together with specific applications for funding.
The Council resolved to defer making any decisions until the May meeting, partly because the actual sum available has not yet been confirmed by EDF Energy, the wind farm operator but also because the applications received were not sufficiently specific to allow proper scrutiny by the Council.
Applications for funding should be on the Council's Grants Application form that can be found on the Council's website www.ashtonpc.org.uk by following 'role of the council, policies and procedures, grants policy and application form' or this link http://www.ashtonpc.org.uk/role-

Ashton 50/50 Lottery: ( in aid of Church funds )
50/50 Club Draw:
The 50/50 draw is proving so popular that I am recommending introducing an extra monthly prize. 50% will still go to the church funds each month but the first prize will be reduced from 25% to 20% so that we can have another 5% prize. I have checked with South Northants gambling licence department that we are legally allowed to adapt things slightly.
I am notifying members, now, in SHARE, AVN and on the village notice boards of this proposal. The new system will start in the May draw to give people time to get in touch with me if they have any concerns,

Ashton Belles Women's Institute (W I)
The Ashton Belles W I meet on the second Thursday in the month at 7:30 pm in the Knights Hall at St Michael and All Angels Church.
The W I is celebrating its centenary year in 2015 although Ashton Belles are only 3 months old. The original idea for the W I was to give women a voice and to enable them to be a force for good in the community. This still applies today. It provides a place for women, run by women of all generations and is an opportunity to share experiences and knowledge and to learn from others both locally and in the wider W I network.
Ashton Belles want to provide regular meetings and social gatherings and to improve things for themselves, their community and its future. They believe that members have the freedom to make what they want of the group with all members working together to decide on activities and events.
Do come along and visit the meetings to see if you would like to be a part of this exciting group.

The Old Crown Inn:
Rosie and Andy are leaving the pub on the 27th and I think they have done a good job at The Crown for the time they have been there, going "above and beyond their calll of duty" to keep the customers happy and entertained. Thank you both.
Regards Anne Sale
The fence on the playing field has been repaired by Charles Wells. If you could send out emails to everyone not to jump over fence and to walk round that would be most kind.
As many of you will know, Andy and Rosie are leaving The Old Crown and the new licensee will be Vanessa Sutton-
Andy has let me know that the kitchen in The Old Crown will be closed after this Sunday, April 12th although the pub will remain open for business. Andy leaves on Wednesday morning but Rosie will stay in the pub for two more weeks. The handover day is Monday April 27th and the pub will be closed all day.
On Tuesday April 28th The Old Crown will open under new management and will be open every day of the week from then on.
This means that the 12 O'clock club will not meet this coming Tuesday.

Letter from Mens Own Rugby
Club to Ashton Parish Council
In our previous response we clarified the arrangements with regard to bookings of
the club. As an amateur ruby club we do not have a regular income and rely on membership and donation to keep the club afloat. We have had to be careful with budgets as you can appreciate and our operating margins
are very tight.
We are keen to get more involved with the village and are happy to allow not
for profit community organisations to use the club for free.
In this instance if additional bar staff or caterers are required then additional costs
would apply as we cannot absorb these. If the club is to be booked by an individual
or organisation then the booking fee of £25 per hour (£20 for members) will apply.
We are not in a position to offer the hall for free to every village member. We are
happy to discuss individual arrangements and will be as flexible as possible.
If you would like any clarification or have any queries please do speak to the new
bookings secretary. Natalie can be contacted on 07816 542564 or
Phil Kimberley (Chairman, Mens Own Rugby Club)
Hall for Hire:
The newly refurbished clubhouse is the ideal place to host your next event. Whether it be a celebration party, corporate meeting or community project the Mens Own RFC can suit your requirements. Situated in the idyllic tranquil surroundings we can offer a fully licensed bar, 11 acres of playing fields, catering facilities, ample parking, disabled and baby change facilities and that all important wi-

Men's Own Rugby Club and Dog Walkers
The Men's Own Rugby Club are asking that people walking their dogs in the area recognize that the field is used for playing rugby by adults and young people. Many of the local youngsters are learning to play the game at the club.
Having the field fouled by dogs not only unpleasant but also a health hazard.
Would people with dogs please refrain from allowing their dogs to defecate on the field and in the event of an 'accident' please remove the offending material.
