Hello from East Texas
2 Attachment(s)
Hello, Ernie here from Overton, Texas. Fairly new to fly fishing, about 2 year total. So far have only fished for warm water species. Not that I have anything against trout fishing or for that matter saltwater fishing, just that both a at least 3 hours from my location.
That's all for now.
Re: Hello from East Texas
Howdy Ernie
Nice bass you got there
One of our local lakes around Amarillo had a lake record for large mouth bass 12.25 pounds caught on a fly rod. What a fight that must of been.
Re: Hello from East Texas
Thank you. That bass was caught while on a guided trip with Woodruff Guide Service on Lake Fork. I was suprised to see his add on this site the first time I looked at it. I recommend him highly if you are in the east texas area. A 12.25 pound bass would be on heck of a fight.

How to Plant Around a Pond
Create a natural-looking pond edge by carefully tucking in plants alongside weathered rocks to camouflage the pond liner. As seen in Country Gardens magazine.
continue reading below
Step 1
Add compost to amend the soil, building up the pond's edge to disguise the liner and hold plants firmly in place.
Step 4
Firm the fern into position, pulling the compost in the hole and covering the roots. Be sure to water thoroughly after planting. Keep the newly transplanted fern moist for several days immediately after transplanting.

Sofia Vergara Nails Fran Drescher's Laugh In 'Quirky' 'Saturday Night Live' Sketch
It looks like 'Saturday Night Live' has a new hit reccurring sketch. For the second time this year, 'SNL' spoofed everybody's favorite adorkable actress and singer Zooey Deschanel with the parody 'Bein' Quirky with Zooey Deschanel.'
Abby Elliott reprised her role as the twee queen, with Taran Killam as her loyal sidekick and "sister" Michael Cera. Check out the hilarity below.
Elliot seems to have Deschanel's "quirkiness" down and Kristen Wiig is strong as usual as fellow quirkster Drew Barrymore. But the revelation here is host Sofia Vergara's Fran Drescher impersonation. She doesn't have 'The Nanny's' unique accent down perfectly, but it still pretty good. If anyone thought Vergara didn't have the range to host 'SNL,' this skit pretty much answered those critics.
So what do you think of 'Bein Quirky with Zooey Deschanel?' Should they bring it back for a third time?

Antibiotics safe for Diabetes?
Posted on May 15, 2010 | 2 Comments on Antibiotics safe for Diabetes?
Question: Is it OK to take antibiotics for fever if you have diabetes?
There really is nothing wrong with diabetics taking antibiotics. It is important, however, to understand what antibiotics are supposed to be for. Antibiotics are drugs generally used for the treatment of infections caused by bacteria.
Fever is just a symptom of a problem happening within our body and can have a lot of possible causes. The most common cause would be an infection, but other possible causes would include cancers, or even a side effect of certain medications. Granting that infections are the most common cause of fever, most infections that we see, for instance the common cold or the "flu," are caused by a virus. These viral infections are usually self-limiting; that is, these will get better even without any medications. Using antibiotics in these cases would not be of any help and would just be a waste of money.
In other cases that are clearly bacterial in origin, for instance, diabetic foot infections, then it is very important that antibiotics be started as soon as possible.
Antibiotics are prescription medications. There is a definite use for them and should not be used indiscriminately. Indiscriminate use of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance, which means that antibiotics may no longer work in the future as the bacteria may become immune to their effects. Diabetics can certainly take antibiotics if there is a clear infection that is due to bacteria, however, it would certainly be best if you let your physician decide if there really is a need to be on one.

Protoss vs. Zerg (StarCraft II) is in need of cleanup for the following reason(s):
De-capitalization required, needs sub-headings
Please refer to the talk page for further discussion.
Protoss vs. Zerg is an interesting matchup. The two races will employ similar tactics, that they will expand as much as possible, they will try to mass up an army as fast as possible with the highest tech level they have, and they will try to harass each other to slow resource gathering. However, the units at their disposal will differ, and as a result, their tactics will differ as well. This page will discuss what Protoss can do to defeat Zerg, and vice versa.
Protoss Strategy Edit
Economy Edit
An experienced player will know how important it is to get a healthy economy. With a healthy economy comes plenty of resources, and with plenty of resources comes plenty of possibilities for the player, such as building more gateways or robotics facilities, building more fighting units, building structures required to have more powerful units, and so on. Therefore, the primary concern of the Protoss is how aggressively they can expand (build new nexuses with probes mining minerals and gas) and how well they can protect these expansions. Without a healthy economy, a player is toast. Always.
That being said, an optimal mining base will consist of a nexus placed as close as possible to the resources, with 24 probes mining minerals and 3 probes at each Assimilator. If the expansion is in danger of being attacked, defenses may be set up. Many players will have their army near their bases so that they can effective guard them. Expanding aggressively is a viable option if the enemy is not likely to attack the expansion.
Scouting Edit
Another critical tactic a player must have is scouting. Scouting is the act of looking at your opponent's base or army to have an idea of their plan. This is important because if you know your opponent's strategy, then you can build units to counter the opponent. Your opponent is likely to scout you to have an idea of your plan, and he may build units to counter yours. Because of this, it is important to scout as much as possible.
Early game examples of Protoss scouting is sending a probe when you reach 9 Psi into the possible base locations of your opponent. Once the probe gets to the enemy, you can have a glance at what the opponent has in store. Is he building a new hatchery at the nearest possible expansion location? If so, he is trying to get a healthy economy as quickly as possible to build an army faster or to get stronger units sooner.
Now that you know what your opponent is planning, you can react with a variety of ways. You can build your own Nexus to keep up with your opponent. You can try to send fighting units into the opponent's base to hurt their economy by killing drones or killing the new hatchery.
In the later game, the Protoss can have better ways of scouting than sending a probe into the opponent's base. They can create a hallucinated Phoenix to fly into the opponent's base to have a glance of their plan. They can build a robotics facility to send an observer into their opponent's base. There are a variety of ways to scout, and because scouting is so important, a player must do it every so often to know their opponent's plan.
The above paragraph is an example of scouting's benefits. Here's another one: Player A sends a Probe when it reaches 9 Psi to Player B's base. He sees a spawning pool built/being built with only 6 Drones mining. Player A sees that because there's a spawning pool in the opponent's base and little to no economic advancement of the opponent, Player A realizes that he must be putting it all into his army. What will his army be? It would consist of zerglings and, rarely, queens. Now that Player A knows Player B's plan, he can set up a gateway and have zealots and probes ready to deal with the zerglings. Now Player A has an advantage because he was trying to advance his economy, while player B is at a disadvantage because he has no economic advancement, and instead invested it all into his army, which died. Player A can send his own army in to try to kill Player B. Player A can try to tech up or expand, knowing his opponent will be behind. Possibilities are endless, and because Player A scouted, he has an advantage over Player B.
Units Edit
Units are the mobile army members/economy workers of any base. They are a key figure in winning the game, as without units, there is no winning.
The probe, as with all workers, is the bread and butter of the Protoss. If the Zerg decides to do a zergling rush, probes are a viable defense in the early game. Care should be taken when entering the middle game, as a common Zerg tactic is to send units such as mutalisks or banelings/zerglings inside of overlords to kill Probes. As such, one must be careful after scouting a potential harass.
The zealot (StarCraft II) is the first combat unit the Protoss can acquire. It is a powerful unit, but can be defeated rather easily if inadequately handled. In the early game, they serve as a possible way to defend your units and structures from early Zerg forces such as zerglings, and as a way to kill the opposing Zerg's drones or queens if the Protoss player can afford it. In the later game, zealots are used to tank damage thanks to their high health for such a low cost. Their main weakness is their slow speed without Charge and their attacks being melee range.
The stalker is a ranged combat unit. It is fast, but is somewhat fragile. However, they can take damage quite effectively, and can be used as a tank if the situation calls for it (stalkers should not be used as a tank all the time because of their high cost). They pair well with zealots, as the zealots take and deal damage in the front while the stalkers do damage from the back. In the later game, they are used as a way to attack air units, and are one of the primary anti-air units the Protoss has.
The sentry is a ranged support unit. Although they have a ranged attack, it should not be its primary tool as it has low damage. Instead, its primary usage is its powerful spells that can potentially decide a battle. Its Force Field creates a prismatic barrier that forcibly positions both allies and enemies. This is its primary usage, as the force field can cut a wave of attackers such as roaches or zerglings in half, rendering them unable to reach their targets. It can block a ramp, letting the ranged units do the work (units on lower ground cannot see up onto higher ground). The possibilities are enormous. However, they can be crushed by units with the massive attribute. However, since the only massive Zerg unit is the ultralisk, and the ultralisk is easily defeated by immortals or void rays, the Protoss need not be concerned. The guardian shield is its secondary spell, as it reduces all ranged damage by 2. This may not seem like much, but since ranged attacks vary from 7 damage to 20 damage approximately, it can reduce ranged effectiveness significantly. For instance, a marine deals about 7 damage. A zealot normally can take 22 hits from a Marine before the zealot dies. However, with guardian shield, a zealot can now take 30 hits, 8 hits more. Guardian shield can allow zealots to survive long enough to reach the front lines, or generally to protect your units. The Hallucination spell requires prior research at the cybernetics core, and when it is fully researched, allows you to create a fake unit of your choice–provided it's available. The fake unit will attack normally, but the attack deals no damage. The hallucination will take double damage, and will disappear after a short time. Hallucinated units to you, and opponents with detector units, have a purple tint, while to opponents without detectors they will appear normally. Hallucination can create units to take damage, to scout, and possibly make your opponent leave early with the sheer amount of (fake) units you have.
The observer is a permanently cloaked (meaning enemy units cannot attack it without detector assistance) unit. The observer itself is also a detector. It can be used to detect enemy cloaked/burrowed units or as a scouting units.
This is work in progress.

Blairsville seeks applicants for new meter attendant post
Blairsville has taken a first step toward beefing up enforcement of borough parking meters. At its Tuesday meeting, council voted to advertise for applicants for a proposed new part-time parking meter attendant position that would include additional duties as an administrative assistant.
With Jeff Marshall absent, council voted 4-1 to pursue the meter enforcement measure after hearing a report from parking authority member Joe Nease suggesting that a majority of motorists are keeping their coins in their pockets when parking in the town's metered spaces.
In an unscientific study, Nease said he checked all of the town's occupied metered spaces at noon on three days — March 28 and April 2 and 3 — and concluded that, on average, only 24 percent of motorists were plugging the meters.
Extrapolating from current and past year-to-date revenue collected from meters, Nease estimated the borough is losing as much as $34,000 annually because of drivers who are failing to pay parking fees.
Nease said meter revenue actually has increased recently and he suggested that may be a result of the borough hiring Police Chief Michael Allman last year, after a period without a chief on board. Nease surmised that those who park at metered spaces regularly may now be plugging meters more often knowing that the chief is patrolling through town.
Still, Nease concluded that overall disregard of borough parking meters is on the increase. Based on a one-day survey of parking spaces he conducted in 2012, he found that the percentage of vehicles with a meter that had expired increased from 62 in 2012 to 76 this year.
Borough officials noted it has been many years since Blairsville has had a worker dedicated to writing parking tickets. While borough police can hand out tickets, it is not a high priority for them.
Compared to other communities, Nease said, "Blairsville has the reputation that you don't do anything" to enforce parking meters. He said he has often heard people in downtown Blairsville advise those who inquire about feeding the meters: "Don't worry about it. Nobody checks them."
Nease argued that doing nothing to provide regular enforcement of meters would have the same impact as simply removing the meters — encouraging some motorists to park all day on downtown streets, making it more difficult for customers to patronize borough businesses.
Borough manager Tim Evans noted he's received phone calls complaining about such parking problems.
Councilman Jim Mollo, who cast the sole vote against advertising for a meter attendant, expressed concern that cracking down with parking fines might drive customers out of town. He also questioned the methodology Nease used to arrive at his figures and whether a meter attendant position could be self-sustaining.
If the proposed meter attendant proves successful, Evans said, "As you progress, tickets will go down and the coin (collections) will go up."
Council President John Bertolino suggested the new meter attendant and administrative assistant might work up to 20 hours per week, but he noted the work schedule would be up to the discretion of the police chief.
According to Evans, the meter attendant, as a part-time employee, would earn $10.59 per hour under Blairsville's laborers' union contract, compared to $15.61 per hour earned by a full-time employee who currently handles clerical duties with hours split between the borough police department and the Blairsville Municipal Authority.
Borough officials said, with the new meter attendant/clerk on board, the full-timer could be shifted solely to municipal authority tasks. Blairsville Municipal Authority Chairman Terry Dibiase told council the authority has an increasing load of clerical work because it collects and tracks information from meters as it is working to decrease infiltration of storm water into sanitary sewer lines, in compliance with state environmental regulations.
DeWayne Dills, who chairs the parking authority, said he and Nease came to Tuesday's meeting to get feedback and make sure council finds the authority's efforts of value. "We don't want to be spinning our wheels," Dills said.
Dills noted the authority has been reviewing the borough's 1998 parking ordinance and suggested that fines and hours of meter operation may need to be updated. While the ordinance calls for enforcing meters six days a week, Dills suggested making parking free on both Saturday and Sunday.
Bertolino encouraged the authority to continue its work: "I think everybody on council appreciates what you're doing."
In other business Tuesday, council authorized Evans to seek financing for proposed purchase of a 2015 Ford F-550 truck with aluminum bed, four-wheel-drive and plow.
Council rejected a second round of bids for two vehicles it wants to sell. A $450 bid was rejected as too low for the borough's 1997 Ford Taurus, while not new bids were received for a 2004 Crown Victoria. Evans said he will list the cars at an online site in an attempt to sell them for a fair price.
With a change in its members since last visiting the issue, council agreed to uphold a commitment for a $5,000 local share toward a proposed pedestrian bridge across Route 22 in adjacent Burrell Township — providing grant dollars can be obtained to cover the bulk of the project cost.
Leann Chaney, the borough grant writer, said Indiana County is applying to the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for funding toward the bridge, which would provide a safe pedestrian crossing from the Corporate Campus and local schools to retail stores and restaurants on the opposite side of Route 22. It would also provide an improved link between the Hoodlebug hiking and biking trail and Blairsville's own Riverfront Trail.
Mayor Ron Evanko declared April 25 Arbor Day in Blairsville, a prerequisite for the borough applying to renew its status as a Tree City. Polly Ringler of the borough shade tree commission thanked borough crew members for assisting with tree plantings by the Bairdstown Bridge. She said the commission is planning to plant new trees in borough right-of-way along Maple Avenue and will try to accommodate residents who don't want trees near their properties. But she pointed out that spots suitable for tree plantings are limited.

CBS Downplays Graphic Afghanistan Photos as a GOP 'Distraction,' ABC Minimizes
CBS's Bill Plante on Friday downplayed graphic photos of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan posing with severed body parts of suicide bombers as a GOP "distraction," insisting that Republicans were "somehow" trying to portray this (and other issues) as a failure of leadership. None of the networks wondered if this reflected poorly on Barack Obama.
Since the Los Angeles Times first reported the 2010 pictures, ABC has only offered one report, airing on World News. CBS allowed a lone segment on the April 18 Evening News and a brief mention by Plante on Friday's This Morning. He spun, "...Republicans keep pointing out several recent distractions: this incident, the troops posing with body parts in Afghanistan, and the big party that the General Services Administration threw itself in Las Vegas." [See video below. MP3 audio here.]
Plante derisively added, "And they're suggesting that, somehow, all this adds up to a lack of presidential leadership." Somehow? The correspondent continued, "One thing to remember, of course: it's an election year."
NBC provided the most coverage, so far, on the photographs. The network featured full reports on Wedensday's Today and Nightly News. Today followed up with news briefs on Thursday. On April 18, reporter Jim Miklaszewski explained:
JIM MIKLASZEWSKI: These controversial photos taken by American soldiers were actually taken two years ago, but it makes them no less embarrassing today. The uncropped photos are too graphic and disturbing to show on television. In this shot, Afghan soldiers are holding up the severed legs of a dead Taliban suicide bomber while American soldiers in the background mug for the camera. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta Secretary Leon Panetta today strongly condemned the soldiers' conduct.
When George W. Bush was president, journalists repeatedly tried to link embarrassing incidents that occurred in the military to the then-President. Yet, there has been no similar effort to showcase these current photos as bad news for Barack Obama.
A partial transcript of the April 20 CBS This Morning segment can be found below:
PALIN: The buck stops with the President, and he's really got to start cracking down and seeing some heads roll. You know, he's got to get rid of these people at the head of these agencies where so many things, obviously, are amiss.
PLANTE (on-camera): Well, the President did talk about the scandal last weekend when he was in Colombia. He said he'd be angry if the allegations turned out to be true. Now, the White House is trying to keep its distance, but Republicans keep pointing out several recent distractions: this incident, the troops posing with body parts in Afghanistan, and the big party that the General Services Administration threw itself in Las Vegas. And they're suggesting that, somehow, all this adds up to a lack of presidential leadership. One thing to remember, of course: it's an election year. Charlie, Erica?

Adam Goodes will wait until after the season before deciding whether he will play on but said he would treat 2014 like any other - as if it were his last.
The newly crowned Australian of the Year said football would continue to be his No. 1 priority but vowed to use his award as a means to help eliminate casual racism from Australia.
Goodes returned to training with his Sydney teammates on Monday morning after a weekend where he rubbed shoulders with the Prime Minister, tennis royalty at the Australian Open and fellow Australia Day award winners.
The 34-year-old comes out of contract at the end of the year but both player and club will wait until after the season to discuss whether there will be a season No. 17.
Goodes once strung together 204 consecutive games, but the past two years have been tough on the veteran due to a string of injuries. The dual Brownlow medallist's 2013 season came to an end in round 13 after a knee injury cost him the chance to be part of the Swans' premiership defence in September.
''I think you should approach every year like it's your last year, that's how you should be driving yourself,'' Goodes said. ''When you get to grand final day I'm always there, hopefully I'm on the inside of the MCG, but I'm always there watching. You always feel that pain when you are out there watching.
''This is another season where I get the opportunity to get back to the MCG and that's the goal for me, to be part of another successful team.''
Goodes has been running for five weeks and said he was aiming to resume full training in the next week or two.
Football would always come first ''because that's my job'', Goodes said, but he wants to use his status as Australian of the Year to raise awareness about the anti-racism campaign - ''Racism. It Stops With Me''.
Goodes said he was impressed with Lance Franklin's pre-season. ''You can tell he is just like any new player that has come to our footy club over the years. They are coming in and absorbing the culture.
''It is great to see that he is working hard and he is getting fit.
''Buddy has just joined in skills this week, which is a really good bonus with him because we really want to get that forward line structure working well by the time we start round one.
''He offers a lot, he is a fantastic athlete, he can take high marks, he can kick goals from anywhere.
''But I think the things we want him to work on as a football club is forward pressure and making sure he competes well in the air and that is as simple as it will be for his role I would have thought.''

Political control of Congress is directly tied to the size of federal farm subsidy checks.
That simple fact explains why both parties are fighting so hard to pass a new Farm Bill. While only about 2 percent of Americans live on farms, some of this year's most endangered Senate Democrats hail from states that would gain from the whopping $73.5 billion increase in farm aid Congress is considering — South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana and Missouri. Since Democrats control the Senate 50-49, with one independent, James Jeffords of Vermont, any of those contests could tilt the balance.
'"They have to get something for the agriculture community," said Jennifer Duffy, who tracks Senate races for the Cook Political Report. "If nothing comes out of this, that's a huge downside because then you could start talking about Democratic gridlock. It takes on that bigger partisanship issue," Duffy said
But there are pressures on both parties. President Bush initially opposed lawmakers' calls for the $73.5 billion, 10-year increase in spending. He relented not only to help candidates, but to secure crucial votes for his $1.35 trillion tax cut and a bill giving the White House more power to negotiate international trade deals.
Then there is the personal element. The White House is doing all it can to defeat South Dakota Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson — a close ally of Senate Democratic leader, and fellow South Dakotan, Tom Daschle. Bush personally recruited GOP Representative John Thune in the most bitterly fought race in the country.
"It's an incredibly contentious race of great attention virtually more of a battle between Bush and Daschle," said Brad Redlin of the Center for Rural Affairs in Walt Hill, Neb. "Farm issues are primary."
The agriculture debate didn't arise because of the election; Congress rewrites farm policy every five years. But the political stakes give it far more punch this year.
In 1996 a divided Congress voted to 'deregulate' farming by ratcheting down subsides and moving farmers toward export markets. Then prices tanked. Five years, four emergency bills and $30 billion in disaster payments later, both parties are focused on a more traditional policy of guaranteed aid, though without the rigid planting controls of past years.
Critics say such policies have led to a vicious circle of overproduction, inflated land values, and low prices. Most subsidies go to big producers, rather than small, family farms.
Farm programs are politically and economically entrenched in areas like the Great Plains, which gets more federal aid per capita than any other part of the country. Public attention was focused on Congress's recent economic stimulus package, but agriculture supports are far more vital in some regions.
"I have never had as many phone calls from lenders saying we're not lending because [growers] don't have cash flow without farm payments," said Mary Kay Thatcher, lobbyist for the American Farm Bureau Federation.
Given the dwindling federal budget surplus, banks are no longer confident Congress will continue to step in with annual emergency aid, if negotiations on a long-term bill fail.
Lawmakers argue that subsidies stabilize an industry that faces volatile weather, unpredictable markets, and has been in a multiyear recession. Prices for some crops such as soybeans and cotton have fallen to 30-year lows since the 1996 farm bill, while farmers have also been hurt by bad weather. Without federal aid, farm income would have been at the lowest levels since the farm crisis of the mid-1980s.
"All I hear is disaster assistance. Montanans need disaster assistance," said Democratic Senator Max Baucus — a prime target of Republicans — whose state has suffered from prolonged drought.
There is agreement on the general direction of the bill, but deep divisions on specifics. The Senate wants to slap a $275,000 per-farm cap on subsidies — a lower ceiling than the House wants. That has provoked a regional fight. Midwest grain farmers wouldn't take too big a hit, but southern producers of crops like cotton and rice, which have higher production costs, would.

Female Manticores are known for mating with mortal men to create hybrids, allowing their demonic children to blend into the mortal world. They kill their mates after conception and raise the children alone. Manticores can be vanquished by a vanquishing potion.
Piper Halliwell once tried to confront a demon in an alleyway, but a Manticore got to him first. The Manticore paralyzed the demon with her venomous claws and began feeding on him and storing parts of his flesh.
When the Manticore noticed the presence of the Charmed Ones, she attacked them. Piper tried to blow up the manticore, though the Manticore was able to resist her power. Paige Matthews then orbed an electrical wire at it, vanquishing the Manticore. After the vanquish, the sisters were shocked to discover a baby there. They soon discovered the baby was demonic when it revealed a demonic tongue.
The sisters took the baby home and debated what to do with it, as it would most likely grow up and become evil due to its demonic nature. Chris advised to vanquish it, though the sisters were conflicted, especially when the baby bonded with Wyatt.
Meanwhile, an unknown Beast tried to obtain the baby and kidnapped Piper, who later discovered he was actually the father of the baby. Meanwhile, her sisters, believing Piper to be in danger, reached out to the Manticores to retrieve the baby. The beast was seriously injured and transformed back into his mortal self, before being healed by Leo Wyatt.
The Charmed Ones traveled to the Underworld and vanquished the Manticore pack, allowing Derek to be reunited with his son.

Nathan Horton left the Boston Bruins triple overtime defeat to the Chicago Blackhawks in the first overtime with what appeared to be an upper body injury. Today Claude Julien said that Horton is day-to-day but there is some hope that the forward will be ready for Game 2.
More from Coach on Horton: fingers crossed at the end of the day that he's back for next game ^CS
— Boston Bruins (@NHLBruins) June 13, 2013
If Horton is unable to play, it would be a huge loss for the Bruins. He has 18 points in 17 games this postseason and is part of arguably the best line in the playoffs. Along with linemates David Krejci and Milan Lucic, Horton continued to produce in Game 1, picking up an assist on Lucic's first goal.
No one can replace Horton in the lineup. If he can't go, expect Tyler Seguin to move up to the top line, where he looked good after Horton left Game 1. Jordan Caron, Jay Pandolfo, and Carl Soderberg are probably the leading candidates to enter the lineup. Soderberg could bring an offensive spark to the third line and has the big body to play there.

A Collection Of Photographs By Fat Tony
de Fat Tony
Acerca del libro
Ever since a fifth grade family vacation to New York City, I have had a passion for photography. Then, while in college, I got bit by the travel bug. Over the past few years I have become obsessed with roaming the globe and documenting my experiences, sharing the adventures and journeys with those closest to me. From the busy markets of the nation's capital to the distant rain forests where few ever venture, spending ten days in Ecuador was one of the best experiences of my life, and as the trip reached its end I knew I wanted to do something special to remember my stay. The idea behind this photography book was born in a remote jungle known as Puyo, and a week later in Long Beach, California, the dream became a reality.

THE future of three landmark town centre buildings in Burnley is to be decided at a Greater Manchester auction later this month.
New owners are being sought by auctioneers Pugh and Company for prominent premises at 164-168 St James Street, next to the Cross Keys pub.
Formerly occupied by The Original Mega Pound Superstore, it is one of a number of vacant properties towards the lower end of St James Street.
A Pugh spokesman said: "The property is considered suitable for a variety of uses, subject to gaining the necessary planning consents."
The property, like most along the parade, is on three levels and has a guide price of between £80,000 and £100,000.
But probably the most striking of the Burnley buildings for the February 27 sale at Manchester United's Old Trafford ground is the day-glo orange premises of Floors 2 Go in Royle Road.
Around £175,000 is wanted for the premises, one of a number to spring up underneath the viaduct after the Burnley College and UCLan campus opened nearby.
Another three-storey property up for auction will be Brunside Mill at the corner of Curzon Street and Parker Street, which used to house a carpet showroom.
The mill comes with a showroom and warehouse and is expected to fetch anywhere somewhere around £100,000.
Elsewhere the former Victoria Works, in Railway Street, Nelson, is back up for auction, with a guide price of between £75,000 and £85,000.
And auctioneers are hopeful of getting between £50,000 and £60,000 for the former Natwest Bank in Deardengate, Haslingden.

The Sarah Walker of 'Chuck' also gets to impersonate Justin Bieber as seen near the end of the parody video titled 'Three Pop Stars, One Song'.
Yvonne Strahovski has showed off her funny side. Throwing away her secret agent image, the Sarah Walker of "Chuck" beauty lampoons Katy Perry, Lady GaGa and Ke$ha as she sings about loving a guy in new CollegeHumor parody video entitled "Three Pop Stars, One Video".
The 28-year-old actress is seen prancing around on a beach while wearing outfit similar to those of Katy's "California Gurls" costume. While impersonating the wife of Russell Brand, she croons, "I remember you told me once, all about who would be your dream girl. You told me Zooey Deschanel, but without the shame or class."
In the clip, Yvonne also channels Ke$ha's drunken party girl personality as she vomits, burps and throws away condoms. "I just woke up on your toilet," is one of her lines as the singer. Meanwhile, she portrays an insane a robot girl from the year 3000 when spoofing GaGa, and sings such lines as, "My privates are synthetic."
The three music stars aren't the only ones Yvonne are spoofing in the parody clip. Near the end of the video, the Australian actress takes on pop sensation Justin Bieber. Sporting short dark wig, she donned the "Never Say Never" singer's signature outfit complete with a black jacket and a pair of matching sneakers.

Dear All
I would really appreciate any advice that anyone can give as I seem to be getting conflicting ideas from vets.
I have a beautiful blue male budgie (Buddy) who is nearly 2 years old.
In the last year he has suffered 3 crop infections . I have taken him to the vet each time and obtained the appropriate medication and he has always recovered well.
However, I am concerned about the reasons for what appears to be a recurring problem.
I have a female cockatiel (Bobby) who is nearly 6 but the 2 do not really get along. Well, Buddy loves Bobby but Bobby does not feel the same!! However, they are able to come out of their cages together (both are tame) with no problems.
I have read about recurring crop infections in Budgie's and the one thing that keeps coming up is that Budgie's should not be lone and at least 2 should be kept together. I have therefore decided that I would like to get Buddy a little companion.
I have also been advised to take all mirrors out of his cage - is this the right thing to do?
If a companion is the right option, can anyone advise on how long I should keep them seperate before placing them in the same cage or should they go straight in together?
Also, would it be best to buy another male as I do not really want to have little baby budgies being born!
I have already bought a bigger cage so that they will have plenty of room but I wanted to make sure I am doing the right thing.
My birds are incredibly important to me so I do not want to do anything that could be detrimental to them.
Many thanks

Secret Agent Man bought a vehicle online and we decided to muster as a family unit and travel with him to pick it up. Please don't ask me why I thought this decision was okay. It was a long drive there......and a long drive back home. But every cloud has its silver lining, and mine involved doughnuts. Krispy Kreme doughnuts to be precise. While driving through the endearing town of Sugarhill, I spotted this sign.
Then, more importantly, I spotted this sign. Hot doughnuts ready, NOW! It was like a sign from above.
We watched the doughnuts rolling off the line and then we all picked several for purchase. The Deerslayer ate four doughnuts before I could blink an eye. I should also mention that he has grown several inches, and gone through several clothing sizes, in the past few months. His appetite amazes me at times.
Toots went patriotic and chose the red, white, and blue sprinkled doughnuts.
Perhaps the most amazing feat of all was that Secret Agent Man ate not one doughnut, but TWO! He is very strict about his diet and exercise regime, so I wasn't even sure he would eat one.
The nearest Krispy Kreme shop is 1 1/2 hours away from the farmette. I may have to take a short road trip in the near future.....

November is Art History Stock & Resources month
Here are some hints n tips about submitting.....
- Create the News Article as you normally would in your own Journal portal. N.B If you create this as a 'Journal' rather than 'News', when you submit it to the Group it will show up in the Gallery, rather than the Blog. Choose to submit to Groups at the last page, after formatting and select ArtHistoryProject. You may also submit to any Group you Admin for, providing it is relevant. In fact I would encourage this as it will spread the Project further - many people will be yet to hear about it. e.g. I submit my Pinup & Glamour stuff to my Death-Chicks Group, as it fits the theme.
It doesn't matter what Art you usually create. You can get involved with any area. This is about what YOU can contribute. You are not stepping on anyone's toes by picking a subject that other artists major in; there is nothing to force them to take part, so the community might miss out on that area all together if you don't step up!You may use the AH CSS Skin if you wish, but most have been using the CR one. It's up to you. You may double up on days if needed CHAT is all Year round - you do not need to wait to be asked to host Chat events

A CAR loaded with weapons and thought to have been involved in a hold-up on a casino in Aix-en-Provence has been intercepted at the French-Spanish border, but a second one managed to get away and enter the country, say National Police.
French authorities say a group of men burst into the premises and held the owners up at gunpoint, causing panic to break out among members of the public who thought it was a terrorist attack.
About 15 people were injured in the crush as they tried to escape.
This was in the early hours of yesterday (Saturday) morning, and at around 15.30hrs border police found two pistols, two shotguns, a bullet-proof vest and two hand grenades in a vehicle they pulled over at the border in La Jonquera (Girona province).
It was one of two French-registered vehicles police suspected of being loaded with weapons, but the second one fled over the border into Spain.
A Moroccan man with a French passport – which is being checked to see whether it it real or forged – has been arrested.
Spanish police are now searching for a grey Rénault Mégane with a French number plate, but do not know for certain whether it was travelling in convoy with the other car pulled over.
The vehicle stopped and searched had been stolen the day before in Nice, France, and the arrested man has an existing criminal record in the country for handling stolen goods.
Spanish police do not believe the occupants are terrorists, but suspect them of belonging to an organised criminal gang.

Blair makes fresh IRA appeal
Prime Minister Tony Blair has issued a fresh call to the IRA to take a big step forward.
In an interview in Friday's Irish Times newspaper, Mr Blair refuses to use the word disbandment but makes clear paramilitaries can no longer use force in order to achieve political goals.
His comments come a day after another arrest in a police investigation into allegations of IRA spying at Stormont.
In his most significant interview since a speech in Belfast last month, Mr Blair again stresses that the process of transition from violence to democracy is over.
In his earlier keynote speech in Belfast, the prime minister said: "We cannot carry on with the IRA half in, half out of this process. Not just because it isn't right any more. It won't work anymore."
However, republicans reacted angrily to Mr Blair's call last month, saying the IRA would not respond to ultimatums.
Northern Ireland's power-sharing executive was suspended for the fourth time last month following allegations of IRA intelligence gathering in the Northern Ireland Office.
In Friday's newspaper interview, Mr Blair says there is no point in trying to inch forward or engage in choreographed steps.
The prime minister said an act of completion is what is required - in other words a big step forward that will enable the government to fully implement its part of the Good Friday Agreement.
And Mr Blair ruled out renegotiating the Agreement, insisting the parties will keep coming back to the same issues to be addressed in the same way.
Mr Blair said there can be no mixing of paramilitaries and politics.
Reacting to the article, Sinn Fein chairman Mitchel McLaughlin said Mr Blair "may be partially right but he's not wholly right" in saying that paramilitarism was the root of all of Northern Ireland's problems.
Speaking on Radio Ulster on Friday, Mr McLaughlin added: "You can't make demands of one side whilst admitting at the same time that you have not fulfilled your own."
Last week, the IRA announced it was breaking contact with the international decommissioning body following the suspension of the power-sharing institutions.
It said it had taken the decision to stop engaging with General John de Chastelain's organisation because the British Government had "by its own admission" not kept its commitments under the Good Friday Agreement.
However, in a statement the IRA said it remained "committed to the search for a just and lasting peace".
In a tough message to loyalists Mr Blair warned that paramilitary acts must cease completely and signalled the time has come to treat paramilitaries as criminals.
He told the Irish Times he was "physically sick" when he heard loyalists had crucified a young man at the weekend.
He added these people must realise that the government intends to come down on them with every bit of force and authority it can.
Meetings continue
Unionist politicians have led calls for the IRA to disband amid further crisis in the political process.
They also demanded Sinn Fein's expulsion from government over allegations of IRA activity, including claims it was involved in training left-wing Colombian guerrillas and was behind a break-in at the police's Belfast headquarters in March.
Meanwhile, the Irish Republic's Foreign Affairs Minister Brian Cowen continued meeting with delegations from the parties in Belfast.
He met Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness and the leaders of the Progressive Unionist Party and the Alliance Party on Friday.
Speaking after the meetings, Mr Cowen said any multi-party talks aimed at ending the political crisis would have to address concerns on all sides.
And he said there was still a lot of work to be done.
"There are issues out there including the full implementation of the Agreement which have to be agreed on by all of the parties," he said.

New Delhi, Feb. 15: Rahul Gandhi today got a glimpse of faction fights, intrigues and mutual distrust in the Congress, a picture rarely shown to Sonia Gandhi by the mandarins of the party high command.
On the first day of the meeting with PCC chiefs and CLP leaders, state leaders blamed the high command's apathy, ministers' disconnect with the party system and internal sabotage for the electoral losses and the weakening organisation.
When a senior general secretary tried to hush things up, Rahul asserted that he wanted to understand the truth.
This happened when Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit locked horns with PCC chief J.P. Agarwal, both blaming each other for the party's woes. Agarwal said Dikshit had no concern for the party and did not even take the name of the PCC president at events.
He said the PCC remained in the dark over state government programmes and Dikshit relied on bureaucrats to run the system. Dikshit rebutted the charges and accused the PCC chief of internal sabotage and attempts to malign the government.
Determined to delve deeper into the malaise, Rahul encouraged all to speak freely. But he pointed out that state units could not escape responsibility as the high command's role was only to assist the local machinery.
Rahul made this point when a Punjab CLP leader was explaining how the party lost the last Assembly elections owing to its own mistakes, including factionalism, wrong ticket distribution and the central leadership's unilateralism.
Rahul told the Punjab leader blame games were of no help and the Congress could do wonders if its senior leaders stayed united. He Stressing the need for introspection and accountability, said elections were fought and won in constituencies and the local organisational infrastructure would have to take responsibility.
He agreed with the suggestion that a new leadership ought to be developed by giving importance to youth, women and leaders from backward castes.
Rahul, who will speak in the end tomorrow, was surprised when Bihar unit chief Mehboob Ali Kaiser said the list for the PCC executive submitted by him a year ago had not been approved so far. Kaiser told Rahul to ask the general secretary concerned when he sought to know the reason for such delays. Ironically, there are several PCC chiefs who themselves resigned long time ago but they were asked to continue as caretaker without being given a proper team.
Rahul's initiative to hold such a conference impressed most leaders who felt this was a crucial step to opening up a system run "mysteriously by a coterie."
A CLP leader said: "Rahul's stature has risen phenomenally by the very decision to listen to all of us. We never got such an opportunity. We all know Sonia was never told the truth about the organisation. Rahul will succeed in reforming the Congress culture even if he doesn't bring electoral successes like his father or grandmother did."
The exercise will continue tomorrow as states spoke in alphabetical order, ending with Puducherry today. West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh will get their chance to speak tomorrow.While states like Goa complained of victimisation by the BJP, Andhra chief minister appealed to Rahul to decide the Telangana issue either way immediately if the party had to concentrate on strengthening the organisation. He said the confusion was forcing Congress leaders to join other parties, particularly Jaganmohan Reddy's outfit.

Hi - my name is XXXXX XXXXX I'm a Criminal Law litigation attorney. Thanks for your question.
According to Texas Health and Safety Code § 822.101(4) and § 822.103, the law forbids a savannah cat (a hybrid serval) or any hybrid from being owned without a license. Below are the relevant statutes:

Texas Baptist Forum: Name change
- November 27, 2008
Name change
I suppose it was inevitable—changing the name of the Baptist General Convention of Texas to Texas Baptist Convention (Nov. 10). Yet the proposed name is so "generic," no character at all.
|• Jump to online-only letters below
What is alarming, however, is the rationale of the Future Focus Committee—"there's no one alive who remembers the story" and "little, if any, awareness of that history" of the current name. This "history" is the glue that keeps us together and tells others who we are. Should we remove "Baptist" from our churches? "Christian" from our name?
The danger is that we are losing our identity. I hope this recommendation will be defeated.
Siegfried Enge

Electoral motives
I question Trey Turner's comments regarding the presidential election (Nov. 10). He isn't alone in his view, and frankly, it irks my heart and spirit to hear this coming from someone who claims to be a Christian.
To Christians, the election of the highest office in America should never be about style, race, skin color or denominational affiliation, but about qualifications, leadership abilities and, above all, standing for traditional biblical morals. It sickens me to think of any Christian, regardless of race, voting for a candidate based solely because of race. I'm Anglo, but race has no bearing on who I vote for.
Our president-elect clearly supports homosexuality and abortion, both of which are biblically condemned. To elect someone who does not care about biblical values is nothing for a Christian to congratulate the nation over. Saul was crowned king when God told Israel they didn't need a king. God gave them what they wanted to teach them a lesson. Saul was a terrible king. Perhaps God has given America what they wanted.
I agree with Turner that electing a black president will move America past some dark and lingering past, but that is a not a good motive for electing anyone.
I join Turner wishing Barack Obama well. I'll pray for him as often as I can, and I, too, ask the Lord to guide and protect him and his family, but I'll only support him on things that don't conflict with God's word.

Fitting tribute
Thanks for recognizing Catarino and Margarita Romero with such a fitting tribute (Nov. 3). And thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Romero for inspiring, well-lived lives. We are blessed by them.

Baptism of the Holy Spirit
Like Ron Phillips (Nov. 3), I have received the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
This experience was wonderful, and I can't begin to tell of the deep joy and happiness the baptism of the Holy Spirit affords.
Doctrinally, you can prove its validity in Scriptures. Jesus said in Luke 24:48 to stay in Jerusalem until clothed with power from on high. They waited until the Holy Spirit and tongues of fire fell as seen in Acts 1 and 2. Afterward, they witnessed with power to Jesus' life, death, resurrection and ascension into heaven.
Our Baptist churches have strong love, powerful preaching, enlightening Bible studies, evangelism, being missional and everywhere spreading Jesus love! At the same time, we need to look carefully into God's word honoring the Trinity fully to receive the spiritual gifts God has for us.
1 Corinthians 13 is a chapter on love, warning those who think tongues are "top dog." Paul points out love ranks first! The baptism of the Holy Spirit isn't a sign of maturity, but God wanting to bless us to be used by him. God's word has much to say regarding the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
I know we can be better equipped by discovering all he has for each of us!
Judy Berry
Earthly citizenship only temporary
I am writing in response to Charles Reed's letter, "Immoral & Unnecessary" (Oct. 27).
As Christians, Jesus tells us: "If you hold to my teachings, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." He didn't tell us that we could necessarily discern truth from what the world tells us.
We are entitled to our opinions about politics and about how we feel about the war in Iraq and whether we see it as just or unjust. However, to call it illegal and to say that people lied about it, and then to espouse as truth a study that claims "more than a million civilians—mostly children" have died in the war all seems to be someone telling other Christians what the truth is.
Please do not assume that fellow Christians or that Baptists in general strongly support "one of the greatest evils in modern history" or that what one person believes is any more "true" than what others believe.
We must all search the Scriptures and our own hearts to know how to live in and respond to this world and those who are in it.
Thanks to David Packer for his reminder in "How to bring change to America" that we have dual citizenship. Let us remember always that our earthly citizenship is only temporary, but that we can make a difference while we are here, no matter what else is going on around us.

Educator, counselor was 'teacher in life'
John Morgan contributed to an undefeated championship football team at California State College of Pennsylvania before returning home to contribute to students and his community.
"He was just a kind-hearted guy who wanted to help people. There was nothing pretentious about him," said longtime friend Michael Walsh Sr. of Sun City Carolina Lakes, S.C.
John R. Morgan of Scott died on Monday, Oct. 21, 2013. He was 74.
Mr. Morgan was born and raised in Scott, where he graduated from Scott Township High School before attending what now is California University of Pennsylvania on a football scholarship. He graduated in 1961.
He played defensive back and center for the Vulcans and was a member of the 1958 team that won the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference championship.
It was a source of pride for him, said his daughter, Jennifer Parsons of Lilburn, Ga. "We are all proud," she said.
Mr. Morgan met his wife, Joyce Cunningham, at college.
He returned to Scott and taught high school history. He later earned a master's degree in guidance counseling from Duquesne University and became a counselor at Chartiers Valley High School, where his four daughters went to school, and he served as an assistant coach for the wrestling and football teams.
Among the football players he coached were two of Walsh's sons, including the youngest, Mike, who later married Morgan's daughter, Joy.
"My son is a lucky guy to have had him as a father-in-law," Walsh said.
Mr. Morgan attended the Church of Our Lady of Grace in Scott, where he served in the St. Vincent de Paul Society. He was a longtime member of the Bridgeville-South Fayette Rotary Club.
He served as assistant manager of Scott Park Pool from its opening in 1969 until the early 1990s. The Allegheny County Counselors Association recognized Morgan as its Counselor of Distinction in 1988.
"He was so giving to everybody, and he didn't expect anything in return," Parsons said. "He was a teacher in real life and a teacher in life."
In addition to his wife, Joyce, and daughter Jennifer, Mr. Morgan is survived by his daughters, Janet Bronstorph of Dunwoody, Ga., Joy Walsh of Roswell, Ga., and Jamie Bezila of Shaler; a sister, Nancy Snyder of Strongsville, Ohio; and six grandchildren.
Friends will be received from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday and 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday in Warchol Funeral Home, 3060 Washington Pike, Bridgeville. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday in Our Lady of Grace Church in Scott.

Fairfax, Va. (CNSNews.com) - In advance of today's Potomac Primaries in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C., former President Bill Clinton led a rally for his wife's campaign at George Mason University Monday night.
Although polls show Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) trailing Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) in Maryland and the District, some analysts think Clinton has a chance in Virginia.
The "first thing that you want in a president is somebody who will keep big bad things from happening," President Clinton told the crowd at GMU. A president must also "make sure good things happen." The former president said the nation needs a "change-maker, and she's been one all of her life."
Clinton said his wife's candidacy was now "in some ways, an underdog campaign." But he noted that the Clinton for president campaign has raised $12 million online since last week when word spread that their campaign was low on funds.
The president emphasized that he would support his wife's candidacy, even if he were not married to her -- because of her position on issues and her record as "a change-maker" over the past 35 years.
Sen. Clinton's proposal to deal with the housing crisis is "by far the most aggressive" plan out there, he said, and her ideas to create "green-collar jobs" to improve America's infrastructure are critical to address short-term employment needs and the long-term threat posed by global warming, he added.
Primary preview
According to the RealClearPolitics average of public opinion polls for the Democratic primary in Virginia, Obama leads Clinton by 18 percentage points in Virginia.
Obama is expected to carry predominantly black districts in Hampton Roads and Richmond. He also has the support of Virginia's Democratic Gov. Tim Kaine, who is a national co-chairman of Obama's campaign and the first governor to support Obama outside his home state of Illinois.
Rep. Rick Boucher, whose 9th Congressional District covers Appalachia, and Rep. Bobby Scott, whose 3rd district covers urban areas from Newport News to Richmond, also support Obama.
Chris Beer, a leading Republican blogger in Virginia, reported that "Obama's support is widespread and across the state in terms of endorsements. Rural, Northern Virginia, black leaders, women, everyone. I expect Obama to blow up in Richmond and among rural black voters."
Beer, however, does not think Obama will win the Virginia primary today. On his blog, he told his readers: "Look to Massachusetts. Then look to Northern Virginia."
"As Massachusetts showed, endorsements mean nothing in this primary for Democrats," wrote Beer. "Real divisions along race and sex have developed in the Democrat primary .... I think the grassroots liberals in the party will come out for Hillary in huge numbers."
He also noted that Northern Virginia is full of federal employees who remember and like Bill Clinton, and that could translate into support for Hillary Clinton.
Seasoned political analysts agree that things may not go Obama's way in Virginia on Tuesday.
On Monday, Democratic political strategist and Fox News contributor Susan Estrich, as well as veteran political reporter Robert Novak, both wrote in their columns that Obama could be hindered by the "Bradley Effect" -- a phenomenon in which voters -- wanting to appear open-minded -- tell pollsters they'll support an African-American candidate, then support a white candidate in the privacy of the voting booth.
Pointing to strong and unexpected Clinton victories in New Hampshire and California earlier in this cycle, Estrich wrote for FoxNews.com: "If you paid attention to the gushers in the press and punditry in the days leading up to Super Tuesday, Hillary was on her way to the morgue, murdered by her crazy husband's loose talk, abandoned by young voters and women and anti-war Democrats, and anyone else they could think of. Not so."
"Partly, it's a measure of Hillary's strength," said Estrich. "But it's also a sign of Obama's weakness which, it seems, we who chatter for a living have been reluctant to speak about, lest we be tarred with having raised the 'race card.'"
Novak added, "In California's primary last Tuesday, Obama lost by a landslide 10 percentage points after late surveys showed him ahead by 10 and 13 points. (Read the commentary)
"Was this presumed 20-point reversal caused by the Bradley Effect, which has worried Democratic leaders about Obama since he became an obstacle to Hillary Clinton's majestic procession to the Oval Office?" asked Novak. "It is much too early for that conclusion, but the subject is in the minds and private comments of Democratic politicians pondering the stalemate for the party's presidential nomination."

Taking a look back at 2013 in Maple Grove, Osseo
The year 2013 was a busy year for Maple Grove and Osseo. The following is a summary of what happened in 2013.
The final 2-mile stretch of Highway 610 received funding in November. This last segment of roadway will connect Highway 610 where it ends at County Road 81 to Interstate 94 in Maple Grove. Construction is set to start this year.
Representative Kurt Zellers announced that he would be running for governor of Minnesota in 2014.
Ground was broken on the Five Central project, a 71-unit apartment building, in Osseo this past July.
The Fischbach farm on the border of Osseo near the intersection of Highway 169 and County Road 30 was taken down to make way for the new interchange. The farmland had been in the family for over 100 years.
The Osseo City Council approved a conditional use permit on the Osseo Gun Club in June. The 20-lane firearms shooting range with attached firearm retail space located at 32 Fourth Street N.W. and 316 First Avenue N.W.
Maple Grove's Home Base Theatre presented the first off-Broadway performance of "Shrek the Musical" in July and August.
In January, Pat McGrane was appointed fire chief in Osseo. He had been the Acting Fire Chief since April 2012.
Maple Grove City Councilor Leann Sargent was charged with two counts of perjury and one count of financial exploitation of an adult in January. The two charges of perjury were dropped.
The Osseo Area School District heard from teachers and their concerns about standards-based grading. A meeting in January was standing room only.
The city of Osseo had an increase in the ISO (Insurance Services Office) rating for its fire department. The rating change also could help the city with lower insurance costs.
The Maple Grove City Council approved the FedEx Smartpost project, which includes a 276,000-square-foot package sort and distribution facility located south of 85th Avenue (Weaver Lake Road) and east of Revere Lane. The building is scheduled to be open this spring or summer.
During a March city council meeting, the city of Maple Grove's Building Department received the 2012 Building Department of the Year Award.
Maple Grove Hospital had its 10,000 baby delivered there in May.
The city of Maple Grove had its first fire-related death since the 1800s.
The North Metro Range, formerly known as the Law Enforcement Training Facility, in Maple Grove was opened to the public for shooting this past spring.
The Maple Grove Rotary Music Park opened in June in the Town Green. The park features sound sculptures and stationary instruments.
Also in June, Main Street Pharmacy and Sode Shoppe closed its doors in Osseo after 25 years. Owner/pharmacist Randy Hohbein retired.
The Maple Grove Historical Preservation Society opened its new museum in July. On display were a 1930s kitchen, area schools, old cameras and radios as well as a military uniform and memorabilia display.
This past July, the city of Maple Grove officially became a Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Community. A Yellow Ribbon Community unites all areas within a community to create a network that connects and coordinates resources to support service members, Veterans and military families.
Osseo gave a reason for why Mark Lynde was removed as fire chair in 2012. A statement said, "In April 2012 the Osseo City Council exercised its decision as an at-will employer to remove Mr. Lynde from the position of Fire Chief. The council action to remove Mr. Lynde was not based on any issues of performance, professional misconduct, or personal misconduct. Instead, the action expressed the will of the council to move the fire department in a different direction than the vision expressed by Mr. Lynde. In an at-will employment situation, either the employer or the employee can end the employment relationship at any time." Lynde responded back stating, "The lawsuit against the city was never about the money. The lawsuit was only to protect my name. I didn't want any wrong accusations to be misleading. It was a joint outcome between me and city. Everyone gets to move on and I get to clear my name."
A man in a wheelchair vandalized Pilgrims United Church of Christ on several occasions with eggs and referencing homosexuality. The man was identified as Lonny Lloyd Roseland, 45, of Maple Grove. He was charged with third degree damage to property- bias and disorderly conduct- offense/abusive/noisy/obscene.
The new Maple Grove Skate Park Plaza at the Maple Grove Community Center opened to the public in August. The park is made of concrete and includes features of a "mini taco," stairs, banks, grind rails, hubba ledges and manual pad. There is also a seating area for skateboarders to hang out and spectators to sit and watch.
In September, the former Osseo Elementary building was reopened by the Osseo Area School District. The building is now used for the ACHIEVE special education program.
Maple Grove resident Montia Marie Parker, 18, pleaded guilty to three prostitution-related counts for sex trafficking a 16-year-old cheerleading teammate.
The Osseo City Council had discussions in October and November regarding possible locations to move the Osseo Police Department to. Options include the former pharmacy building, Five Central project first floor, remodeling the current building, the Osseo Sports Building or building a new station on the current location.
The Osseo Council also considered options for the North Water Tower. After a public hearing in October to gain citizen input on the North Water Tower, the Council directed staff to get bids to remove the tower, but also to determine the availability of grants to repair the tank in order to keep it if it were designated on the Historic Register.
The new interchange at Highway 169 and County Road 30 (93rd Avenue N.) opened in the fall on the border of Osseo and Brooklyn Park.
Voters in the area approved two Osseo Area Schools referendum questions on the November election ballot. Both the operating levy and the technology levy passed.
There were also several anniversary and celebration events in 2013.
The Maple Grove Lions Club celebrated its 50th anniversary in March. The club originally started with 30 members.
This year marked the 10th anniversary of the Maple Grove Farmers Market. The market has grown from 40 vendors to 65 vendors to the current 49 vendors. The market also sees increases in the number of shoppers each year.

BASSENTHWAITE has welcomed the arrival of three osprey chicks.
The trio hatched between May 30 and June 3 and bird-lovers at the Whinlatter Visitor Centre have had the opportunity to watch them via live nest cam images.
Pete Barron, of the Lake District Osprey Project (LDOP), said: "The 14th year of successful hatching is obviously brilliant for the ospreys, but it is also a fabulous reward for our dedicated staff and volunteers, who have spent thousands of hours working hard to protect these fantastic birds.
"Since the LDOP began in 2001, the ospreys have nested successfully at Bassenthwaite every year, raising 29 chicks - some of which are now colonising other areas including Cumbria, which is a success story in itself."
The new arrivals are the first full clutch of three chicks for ringed female KL and the unringed male.
Last year, KL was a first time breeder and successfully raised two chicks with an unringed male, believed to be the same male as this year.
