The castle also has a café that is surrounded by the most wonderful rose garden.

Nice but chips easily
By J & J
from Temperance, MI
Used this in my sewing room. Beautiful looking finish. The sides and edges chipped way too easy. The laminate is too thin and brittle. Be very careful when handling each piece.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Worth Every Penny
By LT
from Lubbock, TX
About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
We had a darker, reddish-colored laminate in our old home. While the color was nice, it showed footprints, dust and dirt too easily. My wife is a neat freak, but it was wearing her out.Our favorite part about the Glacier Peak Poplar is how clean it looks all the time, even when it's not. The floor looks great and goes well with the modern decor in our master bedroom (dark furniture really pops now).Installation was the hardest part, and it wasn't that hard. The final appearance of the floor is well worth the effort of the install.I also highly recommend the Glacier Peak Poplar quarter-round and a few tubes of a similar-color caulk to fill in nail holes, etc. I also rented a Jamb saw from a local home-improvement store to cut out baseboard.
This was not available at our local store and had to be shipped in from a store about 150 miles away. There was a slight delay in shipping due to an oversight by an employee, but they were very apologetic and I understand that mistakes happen once in a while. Other than that, customer service was excellent and I will be going to Lumber Liquidators for my future flooring needs.

Looks Beautiful and is very durable!
By truleepeachy
from upstate NY
About Me Professional
We decided to go with a light color floor for our down stairs as we have a walnut hardwood up stairs. We have three children and two very large dogs. So durability was important but so was the over all look. This took my husband a few days to install even though he is a contractor, his one con was the differnt length pieces other than that we both love how thick it is and it has a nice texture to it which just adds a nice touch. We installed it in over 1200 Sq Ft in our basement it just brightens everything up. Could not be happier that we chose this flooring!

Great-looking results from a DIY install
By Sailor in the desert
from Phoenix, AZ
It was not difficult to install. The seams are very tight - I had no problem with gaps or visible seams. The 12mm thickness makes it seem very substiantial/solid.You must be very careful when tapping the strips together or the top layer will chip - ruining the board.

Finished Installation
Nice looking, not impressed by quality
By Jeremy
from York, PA
It does go together nicely and look attractive, but the corners of the boards chip easily. Some pieces right out of the box had chipped corners. Not impressed with the brittleness this seems to have. Hopefully now that it is installed; it won't chip.
Great product!
By DIY Jim
from Barrie, ON
Used this floor in our basement - installed 1300+ sqft. in a weekend. Installation was easy. Floor looks great. Too soon to tell about durability but based on the demands placed on the saw cutting this material - durability should not be an issue.
Delivered to my door, on time, in a friendly manner. What else can you ask for!
Receives a lot of compliments
By Shorty
from Maricopa, AZ
About Me Beginner
We installed this flooring in our living room, den, hallway, all bedrooms and closets. We have 4 large dogs and the floor holds up very well and it's unbelievable how much easier it is to clean! Just swiffer and it looks great! This is the first do it ourself. Job we have done besides painting and my boyfriend feels like a pro that's how easy it was. We chose the light color because our walls are a little darker and Because of the dogs. Everyone who sees it says that it looks fantastic! The hand scraped finish looks and feels like real wood and feels great with bare feet! We have had really little waste, hardly any were chipped and if they were we used them for the places that needed cuts. Our house has a lot of different angles that required several cuts.

Oil rose more than $1 to above $109 a barrel on Thursday as upbeat economic data from China and Europe pointed to a stronger demand outlook and unrest in Libya and Iraq disrupted supplies.
China's official purchasing manager's index came in higher than expected on Thursday and a survey showed euro zone manufacturing returned to growth in July, suggesting the region may pull out of recession this quarter.
Brent crude gained $1.18 to $108.88 a barrel by 1350 GMT and hit $109.45 intra-day, the highest since July 16. It ended July with the largest monthly percentage gain since August 2012. U.S. crude outpaced Brent, adding $2.43 to $107.46.
"The main reason is better-than-expected data from China and also the fact that the Fed did not give any hint about ceasing stimulus," said Carsten Fritsch, analyst at Commerzbank in Frankfurt.
The U.S. central bank on Wednesday said the economy continued to recover but was still in need of support, offering no sign it is planning to curb its bond buying at its next meeting in September. That stimulus has broadly underpinned commodity prices.
Further brightening the U.S. economic outlook, the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits fell unexpectedly last week, the Labor Department said, offering hope the government's comprehensive employment report on Friday could also indicate healthy job gains.
Concern over supplies from Libya, Iraq and Nigeria is also underpinning prices. The disruptions helped trim OPEC output to a four-month low in July, according to a Reuters survey published on Wednesday.
In Libya, protests at oilfields and terminals cut average supply to 1.15 million bpd in July, according to the survey, down 150,000 bpd from June. Libya's oil minister said output had fallen 330,000 bpd from 1.4 million bpd on Monday.
Iraq's production has also come under downward pressure as Sunni insurgents are targeting its northern pipeline, while technical problems are curbing output in the south.
Europe's biggest oil company, Royal Dutch Shell, said on Thursday a surge in oil theft in Nigeria contributed to lower second-quarter profit, while Italy's Eni cut its production target and highlighted Nigerian outages.
Lending further support, oil inventories at the Cushing, Oklahoma, delivery point for the U.S. crude contract fell for a fifth straight week, government data showed on Wednesday, although overall stocks increased.

The gig which was supposed to be held next year has been scrapped because its main sponsor pulled off their financial support and the organizer has gone into liquidation.
Michael Jackson tribute concert which was originally planned to be held in September but then re-scheduled for summer 2010 has been called off. The gig was canceled after the event organizer World Awards Media closed down and went into liquidation.
Furthermore, liquidator Martin Schneider explained the main sponsor had decided to pull off their financial support. "The company cannot sign any new contracts and will certainly not plan any new events," he told Reuters.
The concert was actually initiated by Michael's brother Jermaine Jackson. Now that it got no sponsor, there is no word whether or not Jermaine will conduct the gig on his own.
Back in September, it was announced that Michael Jackson tribute concert was moved from Vienna to London and postponed to 2010 after organizer struggled to get stars to perform at short notice. At that time, the likes of Mary J. Blige, Chris Brown and Natalie Cole said they couldn't perform at the gig due to scheduling conflicts.
When it was decided to be delayed, organizer blamed the media for stirring up a negative atmosphere, saying they treated the line-up as "B-List" artists and sullied the memory of Michael.

Congratulations Charles and Camilla
February 10, 2005
February 10, 2005
I totally agree with you. They should have married ages ago. Had they done so, all these years of obsession with the Late Princess of Wales could have been avoided. Charles is just a wuss..
Nosemonkey, I agree that they SHOULD have got married, the problem then was that Camilla is a Roman catholic and up until a couple of years ago, it was still illegal for the heir to the throne to be married to a Catholic.
Which osrt of begs another question – what was more important to Charles, Camilla or the throne?
Churl, from what I understand Camilla only converted to Catholicism because her first husband was Catholic. If Charles had married her first, no problem. The reason he didn't was because Andrew Parker-Bowles was a close friend.
In other words, she can always convert back. No constitutional crisis need be provoked. After all, you make it OK for the heir to the throne to marry a Catholic (or be Catholic), Charlie may finally get his life-long love, but we also end up facing a challenge for the throne from the Duke of Bavaria – the current heir of James II – who has a far better blood claim to the monarchy than Her Majesty (much as I love her)…
Nosemonkey, that then begs the question why didn't he marry her?
From what I gather, primarily because both of them were going out with someone else at the time, and the scandal would have been too great. Not as great as them continuing to see each other after they'd both got married to other people, but still…
By the way, is anyone else getting the new-style Blogger comments thing? It's finally sensible enough to show you the other comments you're replying to! An obvious and long-overdue upgrade – but very welcome nonetheless.
Somewhere I read that the match wss nixed by the duke, who disapproved of Camilla.
Robbie – if old Phil had that much influence Charles never would have married Diana either – the DofE was not much of a fan… Neither was I, for that matter. Nice to look at and did a lot of good work for charity and all, but a bit ditzy to say the least. Plus, although Charles having an affair while still married was undeniably appauling, for Diana to have affairs while she was still married was – technically – treason.
But still, what's done is done, eh? And by some accounts it's illegal for members of the Royal family to have civil weddings, so even this latest turn of events may not come off as planned just yet…
Well they didn't marry ages ago and what they are doing is evil. If he wants to marry his mistress then he needs to abdicate the throne.
And who, precisely, are you to make such sweeping moral/legal judgements? Re-marriage after divorce is evil and discounts one from becoming King? Fine – tell that to Henry VIII.
Anonymous who keeps posting crap – piss off, eh?

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
- Directed by Terry Gilliam
- Written by Terry Gilliam and Charles McKeown
- Starring Christopher Plummer, Heath Ledger, Lily Cole
- Classification: PG
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus takes us deep into the imagination of Terry Gilliam, which once was a splendid place to visit. And might prove so again. But not here, because this film is less a coherent exercise of imagination than a haphazard lecture on its importance, a lecture that eventually dwindles into self-indulgence. Given his talent and his many moviemaking travails, it's easy to feel sorry for Gilliam, but a lot harder to see him feeling sorry for himself.
Tellingly, we start with a relic from the past ambling through the chaos of the present. A team of horses pulls a medicine show wagon, a travelling stage, along the busy streets of modern London. Most everyone ignores it, save for a few drunken revellers spilling out of a pub. In the wagon is the immortal Dr. Parnassus (Christopher Plummer), attended by his teenage daughter Valentina (Lily Cole), an assistant called Anton (Andrew Garfield), and, since the whole enterprise is already surpassingly weird, Percy the requisite dwarf (Verne Troyer). Requisite too is the looking glass at stage centre. Paying customers passing through it enter the teeming mind of Parnassus himself, and then, duly impressed, get spit back to their humdrum world.
Of course, this realm of the fantastic is an obvious correlative of Gilliam's cinematic imaginarium, which houses such wonders as Brazil and Time Bandits . But this time, tricked out with CG effects, it's more wonky than wonderful, and mainly forgettable. Even what's remembered, like that singing chorus of transvestite cops, is better forgotten. Meant to be a blissful escape, the place too often feels like a tedious trap, and on the whole we're glad to be expelled back to London.
There, Dr. P continues his centuries-old spat with Nick the gravel-voiced devil (who else but Tom Waits). Seems they're both gambling men, and the fate of Valentina hinges on their latest wager. Meanwhile, the troupe rolls on and, one dark night, they spot a hanged man in a white suit dangling from the Blackfriars Bridge. When the man is cut down, then resurrected, and we recognize the actor, there's definitely a poignant frisson: Yes, this is the character played by the late Heath Ledger (who died in the middle of shooting). Tony is his name, a young guy who has his own troubled past but, given a second chance, puts his silky tongue to use commercializing the show, drawing in a bigger audience, and, much to Anton's dismay, catching the eye of sexy Valentina.
Unfortunately, this is where an already fractured plot goes completely to pieces. Soon, Russian mobsters with their corrupting money are giving chase, and we're in and out of that damned imaginarium, and God knows what's going on. Maybe that devil does too, but, alas, he ain't saying. Now much has been made of the fact that, after Ledger's death, the role was taken on serially by Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell. In any other script, that would have presented a problem. In this one, where folks are constantly morphing through time and space and different shades of unreality, it just doesn't seem to matter much, which is a big problem in itself. When confusion is the rule, how can any performance be exceptional?
Ledger, Depp, Law, Farrell - in keeping with the material, each is bizarrely theatrical, chewing the scenery in their different fashions. Ironically, though, they all seem interchangeable here, just so many indentured servants to a master who's lost his way.
Admittedly, this is meant to be the tale of an artist losing his way - that's Gilliam's main point and the picture's dominant theme. Parnassus is clearly his alter ego, a weary creator who fervently believes that the outpourings of imagination, the whisperings of the Muses, "keep the universe going." However, that belief is now getting undermined on all sides by the forces of philistine indifference, obliging him to make foolish gambles and broker bad compromises. Quoting the devil, Dr. P cries out, "He knew that the times would change, and one day no one would want my stories."
That's the director's lament too, and we want to feel for him but the film keeps getting in the way - instead, more sadly still, our recourse is to lament the lamentation. Sure, the movie biz has changed but, on the evidence here, so has Gilliam's ability to weave a compelling story. When the final frame ends, and the curtain rises, the only question that remains is the last one he would want us to ask: "Is it the times that have lost their magic, or the magician?"Report Typo/Error

McKenzie Pass is certainly the most spectacular scenery you can drive through in Oregon and it's only about 40 miles from Redmond. This ride was featured in the May BMW ON. From the rally site it's a nice 3 hour round trip, riding time. Only you will NOT want to just ride this without stopping for the scenic views.
Here is the article I wrote for this ride, please note, I'm NOT a good writer. Maybe that is why my article wasn't used in the News.
If you only have half a day to go riding at the Rally, this is the one to take. It has the most spectacular road in Oregon, incredibly close up mountain views, lava fields, hiking trails, waterfalls and crystal clear mountain lakes. It can be done in three hours riding straight through, and is a very nice ride. But try to make a day of it and enjoy this great ride.
From the fairgrounds, go to Hwy 97 and turn north to Redmond. Look for the highway sign and left turn on Hwy 126 to Sisters. It's 20 miles to Sisters with increasingly better views of the Cascade Mountain volcanoes. Sisters is the last place for gas on this route for the next 100 miles and eateries are few and far between.
Sisters is named for the Three Sisters Mountains, three 10,000' snow capped peaks just west of town. The town is small, about 1700 people, but LONG on shopping. It has an 1880's theme in its architecture. There are many restaurants, deli's, coffee stands and a very popular bakery. All are located on the main drag through town or one street to either side. Gas up, feed up, coffee up and get ready for some fabulous country coming up.
Go all the way through Sisters till you are just leaving town. Take a left hand turn to the McKenzie Pass Scenic Route, Hwy 242. You enter Deschutes National Forest very soon after leaving town. Ride up through very scenic Ponderosa Pine forests. As you climb you move into Sub Alpine forests. The forest will suddenly open up to open views of the lava fields and Mt. Washington at Windy Point Viewpoint. This is a must stop for a photo op.
A few miles past Windy Point the road enters the lava fields. This is where the road changes character. For the next 30 miles FORGET about going fast. It is very narrow and twisty. It was newly paved in 2009 so the road surface is in great shape. Keep your eyes on the road and stop often to look around.
At the summit of McKenzie Pass is Dee Wright Observatory. It is a lava rock structure built by the CCC in the 1930's. Take a walk to the top and get the best views of the surrounding mountains you can find. Portals built into the structure point to all of the surrounding mountains and peaks. Starting at the Observatory is a half mile long paved trail through the lava fields. It's a good place to stretch the legs and learn about lava flows from the info plaques.
Proceeding on, you go by several hiking trails and access to some lakes. Soon you come to Deadhorse Grade. About 10 miles of 10, 15, and 20 M.P.H. corners as you drop in elevation. You simply have to go slow and take you time. The biggest hazard is 4-wheeled cages coming up the grade and freaked out about the narrow road. Toward the bottom of this stretch is a parking area and hiking trails to Proxy Falls. This hike is not very long and has very interesting terrain and vegetations along the trail. The two falls are worth seeing also.
The road now enters a Douglas Fir Old Growth forest. It's straight smooth and level till it come to the intersection with McKenzie Hwy. A left takes you to Eugene (take the left to get to the Aufderheide Forest Drive). You want to turn right on Hwy 126, the Clearlake Cutoff.
Its 20 miles to the Santiam Hwy and along the way you go by two falls on the McKenzie River that can be driven to, Kosah Falls and Sahalie Falls. Both are worth stopping and seeing. If you like, there is a hiking trail all along the river and between the two falls. A couple miles up the road is a turn off with a short drive down to Clear Lake. There is a small hamburger/sandwich shop where you can also rent rowboats for the lake. The lake has some of the clearest water in existence and the remnants of trees can be seen still standing up from the bottom in the upper lake. These trees were drowned 3000 years ago when the lake was formed by a lava flow.
A few miles farther and you merge to the right with Hwy 20, South Santiam Hwy, going east. A few miles farther, the highway merges right with Hwy 22, the North Santiam Hwy. Pop up over Santiam Pass and drop back into the Eastside of the mountains. In the pass area are turnoffs to Hoodoo Ski area, Big Lake picnicking and access to the Pacific Crest Trails system, a trail from Canada to Mexico. Dropping down the pass is a viewpoint with another nice view of Mt. Washington and access to Suttle Lake and Suttle Lake Resort.
Next stop is Sisters and a return home to the fairgrounds.

In my last post, Using Acrobat Shared Review for Approval Workflows – Part 1, I provided some tips on how to sell the process internally.
The solution scenario is as follows:
- You or an outside agency have revised a document
- You need to send it to stakeholders such as legal,marketing, R&d and other participants for approval of the changes
- After review, you may have further changes to the document if the changes you proposed were not approved
In this article, I'll discuss how to mark up a document with the changes requiring approval.
In future articles, I'll cover how to initiate the Shared Review, gather approvals, and roll-up feedback.
More, after the break . . .
Step 1: Indicate Changes which require Approval
Making the approval process easy for participants will ensure that you get your needed feedback quickly and accurately.
The best practice is to mark up the document to indicate the changes which need approval. Here's how:
|Note: The instructions and screen shots below are for Acrobat X Pro. Acrobat 9 Pro users can achieve the same results, but the user interface is different.
- Launch Acrobat and open the document which need to be approved
- Open the Comments Panel
- Next, you'll set defaults for the Rectangle tool which you will use to mark the revised areas of the document.
A) Open the Drawing Markups section
B) Right-click on the Rectangle Tool and choose
- You will create a scalloped border style that is easy to spot for your reviewers.
Here are my recommended settings, but you can choose the style and colors that you like.
Click OK after you set the style.
- Next, you will use the rectangle tool to mark up areas of your document. Simply select the rectangle tool and click and drag to create the markup rectangle:
- You may add explanatory text to the markup as a way to explain why the change was made.
A) Switch to the Hand tool
B) Double-click on the rectangle annotation
C) A Sticky Note appears in which you may enter text
Repeat Steps 5 and 6 for the rest of the changes in the document.
In my next article, I'll cover how to send the marked up document for review and approval.

There's nothing quite like a beautiful, radiant glow to make you look and feel ten times younger. You'll stand taller, appear more confident and your self-esteem will soar when your skin is looking clean, clear and healthy.
I absolutely love this stuff. I was a little unsure since everything I used in the past didn't work and I must say my skin looks so good it's really hard to grasp. I use the product every morning and night. I did develop a few more pimples while using it but I stayed with it like I was instructed and applying sun screen when I am outside and wear a hat. It has only been 5 weeks and the good thing is, my skin looks so good now. It's really amazing I went out of the house for the first time with no makeup....yay! It really works."
ClearUp Plus A+
I have only been on this for about a month, my daughter gave me her bottle to try. Since the first day I have started using it I have not seen one more pimple on my face. It is amazing! I did not experience any redness nor did it get worse before it got better. It is helping clear my existing acne marks also. I didn't have very bad acne to begin with but at one point I would get multiple pimples all at once on my cheeks. It was enough to make me self-conscience. My skin has however been quite oily but it's worth it in my opinion. I'm hoping as more time goes my skin will adjust. I suggest everyone give this a try."
Really Happy
I was given a sample of Copaw and used it on my dry hands after helping out my mum gardening this past weekend. The results were awesome, nicely moisturised hands and the minor cuts I received from pruning seemed to look noticeably better. I think if I had applied the Copaw more than once, results would have been even better. I will definitely be using this product again!

About a couple of months ago I had itching down there, for which I didn't really do anything, and it disappeared once I got my period. Then almost a month later the itching started again, this time really bad, and I thought it would just go away like the previous time. I thought it was an yeast infection because I had a white discharge that sort of smelled like yeast (to me at least). I then took a short trip, after which the situation become so bad I could hardly pee or even sit.
At this time I went to the gynecologist, where I realized I had a lot of boils, some of which had burst and were causing the discomfort. I was put on some antibiotics and given a Gel (Ornidazole) to apply. The gyno said I had a slight UTI and also thought I may have herpes. The last time I had had intercourse (protected) was a couple of weeks before the itching first began and never since then. Now again, since yesterday (almost two months after my last bad episode) I have been having a burning sensation while peeing, so I checked and saw that I had a couple of boils again. What do you suggest? Does it seem like herpes? Does it happen for yeast infections as well, or is it something else altogether?READ MORE

Sometimes it's hard to find the perfect outfit, especially when you're booked for the day and won't have time to run home and change for evening festivities. Finding a look that will be appropriate for both the classroom and a night out with your friends can be very challenging, and the fact that you normally wear six-inch heels when you head out on the town doesn't help. With a few simple tricks however, you can look fabulous no matter what you're doing.
Wearing a dress is always a good idea, but make sure it's comfy because who wants to be uncomfortable sitting through long classes or work? Try a simple print shift dress like this one at Forever 21. Pair the dress with a bold legging for an edgy, fashion forward look that will transition easily into night. It's never a crime to bring some color with you wherever you go, so don't be afraid of a bright print. Try these fun leggings at ASOS.
Lastly, don't forget to accessorize. This Fashionista paired her look with combat boots and a chunky necklace. The necklace brings out the color in the leggings to tie the whole look together. Lace-up ankle boots make the look effortless and trendy, without tripping over your heels the entire day. Try these white Dr. Martens. With a look like this you'll be the coolest girl in the classroom and the club, and you'll be comfortable while doing it.
One Simple Change: Looking for a way to be bold yet sophisticated on your next interview? Switch the printed leggings for plain black tights to achieve a classic mod look.

The planned downtown greenway that will connect City Park and Memorial Stadium through downtown will not run under Interstate 110 as much as originally planned because of logistical complexities in the area between Expressway Park and North Boulevard.
Instead, designers are looking at incorporating East Boulevard into the 3-mile bike and pedestrian pathway, with two major nodes under the elevated highway.
Those nodes, which would be at Expressway Park and at North Boulevard, are opportunities for transit stops, retail shops, skate parks, bike lockers, lighting, public art, pop-up markets and similar programming, designers said at public workshops Tuesday.
The Downtown Development District already has $3 million in federal funding for the greenway. However, the final budget could be between $4 million and $12 million, depending on the scope and number of amenities that are ultimately chosen.
Elizabeth Mossop, of the design firm Mossop Michaels Spackman, said there are already areas under and around the interstate that people are using without any programming or amenities, which is among the reasons that path is not needed for the greenway.
Expressway Park, which is mostly just grass, is used by nearby residents for pickup football games. Skaters and even bicycle polo players use the area under the interstate just north of North Boulevard.
"There are real opportunities to make these a real hub for coming into downtown," she said.
Mossop said the key to the greenway is as much about what it connects as the greenway itself. She noted 40,000 residents live within a mile of it.
Five major points along the route, which would track mainly Interstate 110, East Boulevard, North Seventh Street and Spanish Town Road, are major opportunities to connect other existing bike-share roads and various amenities. Those include seven BREC parks, the Mississippi River levee bike path and the North Boulevard Town Square.
It's not just amenities the greenway can connect, she said, but Baton Rouge's chopped-up streets as well. For example, Mossop said the greenway could help make Louisiana Street, which is now bisected by the interstate, whole by pulling people through the area under the highway.
"The important thing about the greenway is how all these things link through it," she said.
Mossop and Davis Rhorer, executive director of the DDD, said the opportunities with the Expressway Park area are potentially significant, along with the area at East Boulevard and Myrtle Walk.
Rhorer said he's been interested in the design team's work on how to get bike lanes along existing roads. He cited the idea of taking a portion of East Boulevard on one side of the neutral ground and converting that entirely to bike paths by moving the vehicular traffic to the other side.
Mossop and Rhorer pointed out that the project requires no land acquisition. They said many of the areas have more space than they need at current use. The design ultimately will be one that can be expanded and built upon in the years to come.
Clark Wilson, an urban designer with the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Sustainable Communities, said that the greenway project qualified for federal dollars because of its stormwater runoff mitigation, urban tree canopy and alternative transportation focus. He also said the neighborhood revitalization component is a major selling point.
If the city makes investments in communities through which the greenway passes, it will encourage more investment from businesses and property owners alike, he said.
"That's really what we were attracted to with this project," Wilson said.
Mossop and Rhorer also believe the greenway could be transformative for those living in the center city.
"It would really change the way you would live in these neighborhoods," Mossop said.
Rhorer noted the greenway can be a major selling point in attracting new businesses to locate downtown because knowledge workers want cities to be bikable and walkable. He said it could spur residential development, as the Buffalo Bayou greenway in Houston has.

Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Thank you for choosing Just Answer.
Unfortunately you do not have any easy recourse. The visitation order must be followed or the father is entitled to take legal action against you. Filing a motion would probably not have helped and more than likely the Court would have admonished the parties to work this out. Many parenting orders in orders in Ohio are explicit in that school events and other children's activities are not reasons for denying visitation to an entitled parent. The courts want to make sure that the parents of the children have the time they are entitled to have.
You need to negotiate a different time or holiday swap with the father. For example offer him this weekend instead of the following. You might also remind him there may be a time when one of his relatives will be in town wishing to see the children. It is unfortunate when children are placed in these situations with split families.
I know this is not the result you wanted but that is all that is available under Ohio law.

Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately I did give him my Easter holiday because his family was in town, but he won't switch weekends for me. I told him next time i won't do it for him. It's too bad he won't think of the child. Thank you.
While I understand the disappointment, I would suggest that next time he asks rather than just deny the child access to family over a holiday you get a commitment from him to allow you an extra weekend or other time to be determined in the future. Otherwise, you would be acting just he is today and it is your daughter that will miss out. I do not know how old your daughter is, but I can tell you I have many cases where fathers have nothing to do with their children. In your case at least he is taking an interest perhaps too selfish an interest.

Snooki: 'My Fragrance Smells Like a Moistened Ewok, Open To Pleasure'
Snooki was apparently on The Tonight Show Tuesday night, but because nobody watches it, it took two days for anyone to realize she went on television and said her new fragrance will smell like an Oompa Loompa constantly in heat. So like her, is exactly what she's going to say. Via Us Magazine:
No word on what the final notes will be, but the ultra-bronzed star ensures that the perfume will be "flirty and bubbly, you know, like my personality, and obviously something DTF."
But the well-known acronym threw Leno (and guest Jeff Bridges) off, and Snooki had to come to the rescue to explain.
"[It means] "down to fuck," she said.
Mmm. Damp Ewok crotch musk… But I can't help but feel this story is missing something. Perhaps an attempt at a scent even more representative of its creator. Ah, wait, here it is:
When rumors hit last month, fans of the Jersey Shore housemate began speculating if the juice would smell like her beloved snack, pickles. And being that Snooki, 23, is pretty much down for anything, she tried it out.
"[It] smelled like pickles and grass and it was just gross."
"[It] smelled like my mouth and a couple people died during the testing phase and it was just gross," is how that was supposed to read. Probably just a typo.

The Situation's loud snore bothers Ronnie who decides to sleep in the living room, but he does not admit that he snores.
The Situation's unflattering sleeping behavior is caught on tape in the next episode of "Jersey Shore". The guys discuss the matter when DJ Pauly D sees Ronnie Ortiz-Magro sleeping in the living room, while The Situation himself has been heard denying that he snores.
In a recent interview with MTV, the guidos and guidettes said they had a great time when filming season 4 in Italy, but some things are hard to do when they were overseas. "The normal stuff like GTL was hard to do," Pauly D shared.
"Basic amenities that we are used to over here, like walking to the store and buying a Gatorade, you can't do that there," Vinny Guadagnino chimed in. But they seemingly got accustomed with the wine there since Snooki said, "The wine was phenomenal there. All we did was drink wine."
However, Snooki revealed that Florence's cobblestone streets got the girls in trouble when they were drunk. "The wine, cobblestones and heels - not a good combination," she said.
The third episode of "Jersey Shore" season 4 will air Thursday, August 18 at 10 P.M. on MTV.

Sir – May I sympathise with your correspondent, Mr R Lee, regarding the proposal to build 270 homes off Burford Road.
Mr Lee's letter (last week's Gazette) expresses many of the arguments that have been repeatedly raised regarding more large-scale housing developments in Witney, Carterton, Bampton and surrounding areas.
Surely, in the interests of sustainability, we must build houses closer to where people work.
Projections from the recent strategic housing assessment and other published data project large-scale growth in employment in science parks close to Oxford and on the A34 corridor. This is where the new houses need to be built.
West Oxfordshire remains a rural area and unless there is a sudden revival of the wool industry, or the Chinese invest in a blanket factory, local jobs will remain scarce.
Forcing more and more commuter traffic on the already gridlocked A40 is simply not an answer.

|Product Information
|Glucocorticosteroid and Immunosuppressive therapies for chronic glomerulonephritis have shown very limited
long term therapeutic benefit and often associated with some significant side effects. We have opted for
non-toxic and non-immunocompromized approach to help support the body for people with this disease.
The most important feature of our natural herbal nutritional supplements for this group of pathologies is to
help the body to detoxify the kidney tissue from endogenous and exogenous toxins that could be the
underlying cause of the inflammation, functional insufficiencies and glomeruli damage.
Second feature of our natural supplements is to help the body to promote tissue repair by supporting cellular
energy production and improving microcirculation in the kidney.
Kidney+SP is a natural herbal supplement with possible anti-oxidant, cellular cleansing and cellular energy
enhancing activities. Many people do not realize that chronic immunopathologic (inflammatory) disorders of
the kidney are often caused by primary or secondary abnormalities in renal microcirculation, metabolism,
respiration, deficiency in defense against oxidative agents and nutritional supply for kidney tissues. Based on
this prediction, a specific formula and concentration of herbs in Kidney+SP have been formulated and
successfully used by many people with all types of chronic glomerulonephritis to help balance their bodies.
Hundreds of customers worldwide who have taken this specific combination of herbs in specific dosages and
concentrations have achieved remarkable improvement in their health.
Kidney+SP supports healthy body balance and kidney function which is important for proper kidney filtration
and protection from toxic agents such as heavy metals and other environment toxins. The herbs contained in
Kidney+SP have shown very positive effects in balancing the body for people with chronic glomerulonephritis,
nephrotic syndrome, proteinuria as well as drug induced kidney pathologies.
Kidney+SP is manufactured utilizing pharmaceutical standards and offers the highest concentrations in the
industry (30-1 instead of 5-1). Higher concentrations equate to superior results.
Kidney+SP was formulated from 6 herbs: Polyporus umbellalus, Ligusticum wallichi, Orthosiphon aristatus,
Ludwigiua adscebdens, Radix astragalus and Rehmania glutinosa in a specific ratio and concentration that
have shown very positive effects for balancing the body for people with chronic glomerulonephritis, nephrotic

maximum support.
For people with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and other type of Glomerulonephritis with extreme high
level of proteinuria, use Kidney+SP in combination with SuperK-antioxidant (GS-kit) enriched with
Ganoderma lucidum would add the therapeutic benefit.
The selected herbs in Kidney+SP help to perfectly balance the body thus allowing the body to reduce the
side effects of prescribed medicines used for Kidney disease treatment.

"In the midst of the wild disorder in his ranks, and through a storm of bullets, a Union officer
was seeking to rally his men for a final stand. He, too, went down, pierced by a Minié ball. Riding forward with my rapidly
advancing lines, I discovered that brave officer lying upon his back, with the July sun pouring its rays into his pale face.
He was surrounded by the Union dead, and his own life seemed to be rapidly ebbing out. Quickly dismounting and lifting his
head, I gave him water from my canteen, asked his name and the character of his wounds. He was Major-General Francis C. Barlow,
of New York, and of Howard's corps. The ball had entered his body in front and passed out near the spinal cord, paralyzing
him in legs and arms. Neither of us had the remotest thought that he could possibly survive many hours. I summoned several
soldiers who were looking after the wounded, and directed them to place him upon a litter and carry him to the shade in the
rear. Before parting, he asked me to take from his pocket a package of letters and destroy them. They were from his wife. He
had but one request to make of me. That request was that if I should live to the end of the war and should ever meet Mrs.
Barlow, I would tell her of our meeting on the field of Gettysburg and of his thoughts of her in his last moments. He wished
me to assure her that he died doing his duty at the front, that he was willing to give his life for his country, and that his
deepest regret was that he must die without looking upon her face again.
I learned that Mrs.
Barlow was with the Union army, and near the battlefield. When it is remembered how closely Mrs. Gordon
followed me, it will not be difficult to realize that my sympathies were especially stirred by the announcement that his wife
was so near him. Passing through the day's battle unhurt, I dispatched at its close, under flag of truce, the promised message
to Mrs. Barlow. I assured her that if she wished to come through the lines she should have safe escort to her husband's side.
In the desperate encounters of the two succeeding days, and the retreat of Lee's army, I thought no more of Barlow, except to
number him with the noble dead of the two armies who had so gloriously met their fate. The ball, however, had struck no
vital point, and Barlow slowly recovered, though this fact was wholly unknown to me.
The following summer, in battle near Richmond, my
kinsman with the same initials, General J. B. Gordon of North Carolina, was killed. Barlow, who had recovered, saw the announcement
of his death, and entertained no doubt that he was the Gordon whom he had met on the field of Gettysburg. To me, therefore, Barlow
was dead; to Barlow, I was dead. Nearly fifteen years passed before either of us was undeceived. During my second term in the
United States Senate, the Hon. Clarkson Potter, of New York, was a member of the House of Representatives. He invited me to dinner
in Washington to meet a General Barlow who had served in the Union army. Potter knew nothing of the Gettysburg incident. I had
heard that there was another Barlow in the Union army, and supposed, of course, that it was this Barlow with whom I was to dine.
Barlow had a similar reflection as to the Gordon he was to meet. Seated at Clarkson Potter's table, I asked Barlow: "General,
are you related to the Barlow who was killed at Gettysburg?" He replied: "Why, I am the man, sir. Are you related to the
Gordon who killed me?" "I am the man, sir," I responded. No words of mine can convey any conception of the emotions
awakened by those startling announcements. Nothing short of an actual resurrection from the dead could have amazed either of us
more. Thenceforward, until his untimely death in 1896, the friendship between us which was born amidst the thunders of Gettysburg
was greatly cherished by both."
In a letter to his mother on July 7, 1863, General Barlow
stated, "A force came up against
our front in line of battle with supports in the rear. We ought to have held the place easily, for I had my entire force
at the very point where the attack was made. But the enemies skirmishers had hardly attacked us before my men began to
run. No fight at all was made. Finding that they were going I started to get a head of them to try to rally them and form
another line in the rear. Before I could turn my horse I was shot in the left side about half way between the arm pit and
the head of the thigh bone. I dismounted and tried to walk off the field. Everybody was then running to the rear and the
enemy were approaching rapidly. One man took hold of one shoulder and another of the other side to help me. One of them
was soon shot and fell. I then got a spent ball in my back which has made quite a bruise. Soon I got too faint to go any
further and lay down. I lay in the midst of the fire some five minutes as the enemy were firing at our running men. I did
not expect to get out alive. A ball went through my hat as I lay on the ground and another just grazed the forefinger of
my right hand.
...Finally the enemy came up and were very kind. Major Pitzer, a Staff officer of Gen. Early had me carried into the woods
and placed on a bed of leaves. They put some water by me and then went on to the front again."
The National Park Service, on their web site, adds the following:
"Luckily for Barlow, a Confederate officer chanced upon
the wounded general. General John B. Gordon, whose brigade had just destroyed Barlow's position on the knoll, found the wounded
officer, pale and weak. Gordon dismounted and gave Barlow water and a sip of spirits to revive
him. Barlow was almost delirious with pain and exhaustion, but asked Gordon to destroy a packet
of letters for him and get word of his fate through the lines to his wife who accompanied the
Union army. Gordon ordered that Barlow be carried to a nearby farm for shelter. This remarkable
act of compassion probably saved Barlow's life. Confederate surgeons treated the wounded officer,
who appeared to be close to death. A message was passed between the lines to General Barlow's
wife and she made her way through the picket lines the following day to find her wounded husband.
With her help, the general slowly recovered from his wounds, returned to the army the following
year, and led a division of the Second Corps in the Wilderness Campaign."
Without question, the care provided by Confederate medical staff and those
who assisted General Barlow on the field likely saved his life.
Also, consistent with this tone of gallantry is a statement made by then
Brigadier General Gordon as his men moved through Pennsylvania. When civilians expressed fear
and concern with the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia moving through their town, General
Gordon responded,
"Our Southern homes have been pillaged, sacked, and burned; our mothers,
wives, and little ones, driven forth amid the brutal insults of your soldiers. Is it any wonder
that we fight with such desperation? A natural revenge would prompt us to retaliate in kind, but
we scorn to war on women and children. We are fighting for the God-given rights of liberty and
independence, as handed down to us in the Constitution of our fathers. So fear not: if a torch
is applied to a single dwelling, or an insult offered to a female of your town by a soldier of
this command, point me out the man, and you shall have his life."
In his official report, as General Gordon moved towards York Pennsylvania
just prior to the battle, he also relayed these events.
"It may not be improper in this connection, as evidence of the base
ingratitude of our enemies, to state that the Yankee press has attributed to my brigade the
burning of the town of Wrightsville. In his retreat across the bridge, the enemy fired it
about midway with the most inflammable materials. Every effort was made to extinguish this fire
and save the bridge, but it was impossible. From this the town was fired, and, notwithstanding
the excessive fatigue of the men from the march of 20 miles and the skirmish with the enemy, I
formed my brigade in line around the burning buildings, and resisted the progress of the flames
until they were checked."

Today's Fashionisto has layered his way to a great winter outfit. His blue gingham button-up combined with a gray pullover is reminiscent of Prada's fall 2013 menswear collection, which featured a similar look. He achieves a polished yet casual ensemble for class by combining preppy pieces with downtown chic outerwear and accessories. His fur-lined black coat is not too chunky while the brown straps of his backpack tie in with his leather lace-up boots. Wearing a mixture of high and low pieces (his button-up is from H&M while his coat is by Japanese label Attachment), he's the ultimate example of a CollegeFashionisto. Read more about him below.
Name: Jacobi Hollingshed
Year: Senior
Major: Creative Direction
CollegeFashionista: How would you describe your style?
Jacobi Hollingshed: Maybe a mix of both feminine and masculine. I like to put both of them together — mixing and matching and stuff like that.
CF: What's your favorite thing to wear this season?
JH: I'm loving coats; coats are a staple.
CF: Is there something in particular that inspires your style?
JH: Not really — I'll just go in stores and see what I like. If I like it, then I'll buy it.
CF: Where do you shop?
JH: I shop at Topshop. I shop a lot online. There's a website called YesStyle.com and they have really unique clothing — I shop there a lot.
How To: To get this Fashionisto's look, layer a collared shirt with a crew neck cardigan. J.Crew sells great men's sweaters in a variety of colors, and for even cheaper options check out ASOS. For outerwear, battle the cold and wind with a black parka. Also, take a cue from today's Fashionisto and wear mostly neutrals like brown, gray and black. Then add in a colored detail such as a printed shirt for a pop of something extra.
