|Half Baths
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
Our 3900 sq. foot house directly faces a waterfall and the the Saugatuck River. You can walk to town. The living room, dining room and kitchen as well as 3 of the 5 bedrooms have the view of the waterfall. 2 of the other bedrooms face the river. One side of the upstairs has 2 bedrooms , a TV room and full bathroom. It can be closed off from the other bedrooms and has its own back staircase--ideal for in-laws, guests, babysitters etc. We have a swing set and tons of toys if you have children.
We rented this house for a family gathering around our mother's memorial service in Westport. It was absolutely perfect for our needs. Tons of space, a beautiful view, a totally functional kitchen, and very peaceful and comfortable surroundings during an emotional time. It is a very convenient location as well. The host was fabulous! She left delicious brownies for us! The property is very clean and well- maintained. I loved the view of the waterfall. Highly recommended.
We stayed with our family at this charming and welcoming home for a week in July of 2012. We would highly recommend this home to all of our family and friends. The property was very clean and well-maintained. The photos are very accurate. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!!!! The owner was extremely helpful with our questions. The owner welcomed us after a long day of travel with cold beverages and a freshly baked coffee cake which we enjoyed on their deck. We were thrilled. Our extended family and close friends joined us for dinners and to view what we call the million dollar water fall. We enjoyed long walks, many restaurants, shopping, and the beach. We enjoyed the fireworks display at the beach on the 4th of July. We took the train to NYC. We so appreciated staying in this home with our large family. We thank this owner for the wonderful memories of time spent with family and friends in Westport, Ct.
We would highly recommend this rental to anyone. The house was more than spacious enough for our family of five. In fact, I was wishing that we had brought my parents and sister along for the week. The house is situated on a quiet residential street, but the best part was the gorgous view and sound of the river and the falls from almost every room. My kids spent hours fishing and paddling in the canoe that was provided. We were a short walk to an excellent breakfast/doughnut shop and about a mile from all the shops on Main Street. The owners were kind and went above and beyond to offer activity suggestions, etc. We were even welcomed with brownies and fresh flowers. Thank you for a great week!
This is a lovely 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath house that was beautifully furnished/equipped. We stayed here for a week with my extended family, including my 3.5 year old son. I had been a little bit concerned with being right next to the river but it was really not an issue as part of the backyard is completely fenced in. My son had a blast with the backyard swingset, the kids playroom with lots of toys, and kids DVDs. It was the perfect size for the eight of us, both in bedrooms and common space. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, and there is a very nice deck off the dining room for eating outside. The gardens outside are quite nice, with plenty of room to throw frisbees, etc. The living room is cozy with lots of soft reading spaces and picture windows to admire the striking view of the waterfall and lake beyond. And there is a separate TV room also on the first floor, which I thought was great as I hate having the TV/movie noise intrude on conversation. In terms of location, it was convenient to the train station (10 minutes) and to the beach (10-15 min), and there are lots of good grocery options nearby. The owners were truly wonderful hosts, leaving the house fully readied and with several unnecessary but much appreciated touches, as well as making lots of local recommendations. Would highly recommend this as a getaway for families or friend groups, including those with young kids and/or teenagers.
A lovely home, in a fantastic location. We were a party of 4 Adults and 3 Children aged 5 - 8 years old. The accommodation is well designed and comfortable, and the view is fantastic. We immediately felt at home, the owners were well organised, friendly and helpful. A very successful rental, we would love to return again next year.

My husband and I argues a lot in regards with temperature of our kids.
When he feels our son is slightly warm he would tell me to check his temp. First, I will feel him (with my hand)
if he's warm and I guess it is a mother's instinct to tell if the temperature is considered a fever.
But my husband is being paranoid, checks our son using thermometer and if he sees the thermometer read 37 Celsius and above (97-99 F)
he will give Paracetamol.
Well, for me 36-37 degrees still okay but above 38 I consider it fever.
What is the temperature of a kid to be considered as fever? When is the time to give Paracetamol? When is the time to call the doctor?
Help here. Thanks.

SUEZ acquires an equity stake in AREVA's new uranium enrichment plant
Press release
June 02, 2008
SUEZ and AREVA have signed an agreement giving SUEZ 5% ownership interest in the company that holds the Georges Besse II uranium enrichment plant.
The facility, built by AREVA at the Tricastin site in France's Drôme department, is based on ultra centrifuge technology. SUEZ, through its Energy Services business line, is building the electrical installations, and supplying the fluid management systems and the HVAC and process cooling equipment of the new plant, which is scheduled for startup in 2009.
The agreement reflects the two groups' intention to further develop their present industrial cooperation. With it, SUEZ will be able to secure a portion of its nuclear reactor supply needs in enriched uranium.
Georges Besse II is one of France's largest current industrial investments, representing a total of close to EUR 3 billion.
Centrifugation enrichment technology offers the advantage of consuming 50 times less electricity than the existing gaseous diffusion process used in France[1] and does not need water for cooling.
With manufacturing facilities in 43 countries and a sales network in more than 100 countries, AREVA offers customers reliable technological solutions for CO2-free power generation and electricity transmission and distribution. The group is the world leader in nuclear power and the only company to cover all industrial activities in this field. Its 65.000 employees are committed to continuous improvement on a daily basis, making sustainable development the focal point of the group's industrial strategy. AREVA's businesses help meet the 21st century's greatest challenges: making energy available to all, protecting the planet, and acting responsibly towards future generations. http://www.areva.com
SUEZ, an international industrial and services Group, designs sustainable and innovative solutions in the management of public utilities as a partner of public authorities, businesses and individuals. The Group aims to answer essential needs in electricity, natural gas, energy services, water and waste management. SUEZ is listed on the Brussels, Luxembourg, Paris and Zurich stock exchanges and is represented in the major international indices: CAC 40, BEL 20, DJ STOXX 50, DJ EURO STOXX 50, Euronext 100, FTSE Eurotop 100, MSCI Europe and ASPI Eurozone. The Group employs 149,000 people worldwide and achieved revenues of €47.5 billion in 2007, 89% of which were generated in Europe and in North America.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Popular searches on the Internet include Foxconn after the company, a maker of Apple ( AAPL)iPhones, shut one of its technology plants in China following a massive brawl among its workers. About 2,000 Foxconn workers were involved in a fight at one of the company's dormitories. In a statement, Foxconn described the incident as a personal dispute between employees which occurred around 11 p.m. local time Sunday. According to the statement, police managed to get the brawl under control around 3 a.m. Foxconn said police reported that 40 people were taken to the hospital, three of which were in serious condition, and some were arrested. Foxconn closed its plant in Taiyuan while the situation was being investigated. It could reportedly remain closed for two to three days. The plant employs about 79,000 people in Taiyuan, China. Foxconn has come under fire for poor working conditions and mistreatment of its employees at its plants in China. It has increased spending lately to improve working conditions.
Lennar ( LEN) is trending as the homebuilder reported fiscal third-quarter revenue skyrocketed on demand for new houses. Lennar reported net income of $87.1 million, or 40 cents a share, up from $20.7 million, or 11 cents a share, a year earlier, beating expectations. The company's revenue was the highest in nearly four years. According to Lennar CEO Stuart Miller, "The housing market has stabilized and the recovery is well underway." Lennar said orders rose for the sixth quarter in a row as buyers took advantage of lower interest rates. The company also reported higher deliveries and backlog across its regions. Lennar is the third-largest U.S. homebuilder.
Village Voice is another popular search. Village Voice Media, which operates the newspaper chain, is set to split from its Backpage.com online advertising site. Backpage has been the subject of criticism and controversy for its "adult" classified section, which some have said facilitates sex trafficking. Dozens of advertisers have dropped their accounts with the company, as Backpage has been the focus of a campaign urging advertisers to do so.

CORRECTION: Update to Acrobat 3D
Sorry, folks. The update that I announced on Aug 22 has been pulled back from the web for a quick fix. There is a small issue affecting the import performance of large Pro/ENGINEER assemblies. If you have already installed the update, it's fine to use – just wanted you to be aware of this issue. Thank you for your patience and I'll update you when the patch has been re-posted.

CHIBA – Tetsuya Utsumi allowed two runs in eight innings to pitch the Yomiuri Giants to their seventh straight interleague victory on Friday.
Utsumi (4-4) allowed five hits but no walks, while striking out five in a 4-2 victory over the Chiba Lotte Marines at QVC Marine Field.
The Giants are now 10-0 with three ties since their last loss on May 5. Yomiuri has won 10 straight decisions for the first time in three years.
"I worked very carefully from the start, and it went according to plan, with the guys scoring some early runs," said the southpaw.
The visitors took the lead in the second after Shuichi Murata led off with a double against submarine right-hander Shunsuke Watanabe (2-2). With two outs, Murata scored on a single by Yoshitomo Tani, who had two RBIs.
A leadoff single by John Bowker and RBI doubles by Hisayoshi Chono and Hayato Sakamoto made it 3-0 in the fifth.
With two outs in the bottom of the eighth, the Marines' Masahiko Tanaka doubled home two runs to make it close.
Utsumi called the runs "a waste," but was pleased as punch to help keep the streak alive.
"There's an incredible atmosphere right now," he said. "We're playing great ball now, and we want to keep operating at this peak level for as long as we can."
Lions 10, Swallows 0
At Seibu Dome, Seibu's Kazuhisa Ishii (4-1) threw his first shutout in five years with a five-hitter against his former club, snapping the Lions' four-game losing streak.
Tokyo Yakult, which has now lost six games in a row for the first time in two seasons, never got a runner as far as second base against its former ace, while Seibu racked up season highs in runs and hits (14).
Tigers 5, Hawks 0
At Fukuoka's Yahoo Dome, Jason Standridge (4-3) allowed three hits and a walk over seven innings against his first club in Japan and two Hanshin relievers completed the three-hit shutout of Japan Series champion Fukuoka Softbank.
Matt Murton had three hits for the Tigers, who won their second straight. His RBI single opened the scoring in the fourth and his first homer of the season made it 2-0 in the seventh.
Buffaloes 4, Carp 3 (10)
Dragons 5, Fighters 5 (10)
BayStars at Eagles — ppd.
Kokubo deactivated
Hiroki Kokubo's pursuit of his 2,000th-career hit was put on hold on Friday, when the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks deactivated their 40-year-old captain with a herniated disc.
Kokubo, who needs just one hit to reach the milestone, suffered back pain against the Hiroshima Carp on Wednesday, when he was 0-for-3 with a walk and three strikeouts.
"I anguished over the decision, but even if I play, the fact is that I probably won't be able to produce," said Kokubo, who underwent an MRI earlier in the day. "I've never had a herniated disc before, so I don't understand it. Even speaking is painful."
Kokubo had two hits on Tuesday, and with his goal in sight, the Hawks drew a home crowd of 36,658, their best-attended midweek game this season.
"Although I am only one hit away, being fit on the field is part of a professional's duty," he said.

Iraq biggest story of decade in network TV news, but almost no reporters of color at the top
It's your classic good news/bad news scenario: For those who grouse about the superficiality of TV news, recent data shows the top most-covered stories on the decade were super-substantive -- the war in Iraq, the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, fighting in Afghanistan and the hijacked jets on Sept. 11.
But for those who hoped the inauguration of the country's first black president might add more diversity to news coverage, the data was more disappointing.
Just one reporter of color landed among the top 20 most-used reporters of the decade -- 60 Minutes correspondent Byron Pitts -- and no reporters of color were featured in the top 20 list for 2009. NBC's Andrea Mitchell, left, was at the top of that heap.
That's what struck me about the lists released by network TV news analyst Andrew Tyndall, who painstakingly tabulates data on coverage of the three network news programs. His year-end lists tallies the most-covered stories and most-used reporters, offering an interesting look at where the top TV news divisions focused the nation's attention over the past 10 years.
As NBC News' foreign affairs correspondent, Mitchell was the most-used correspondent of the decade, with 2,416 minutes onscreen. Given that six of the top 10 stories of the decade involved the middle East, that makes lots of sense. Other top reporter include NBC's medical reporter Robert Bazell, NBC's Justice correspondent Pete Williams and CBS' Pentagon correspondent David Martin.
No soft news stories appear in Tyndall's list for the decade, though the death of Michael Jackson ranks sixth for 2009, the only soft news story found there.
Instead, network TV news remained defiantly old school over the decade, devoting more than 12,000 minutes to Iraq, Afghanistan and Israeli/Palestinian issues while devoting significant time to Hurricane Katrina, oil prices and the stock market.
Here's hoping 2010 brings a little more progress on the diversity front, so a wider range of journalists get a shot at the biggest jobs in TV journalism.
Top five stories of the decade, with minutes of airtime on all three nertworks:

NEIL CAVUTO, HOST OF, "YOUR WORLD": And while Rick Perry is pulling out all the stops today, is this guy where all the grassroots dough actually starts and stops?
We have got some fresh numbers showing Ron Paul reeling in close to $3 million in the last five days. More than 44,000 donations coming in from all 50 states. So for critics counting him out, maybe they should think twice as he just counts the cash?
The Republican presidential candidate joining us now on the phone from Jackson, Texas.
Congressman, these are off-the-chart numbers. And what makes them striking is largely in small denominations, thousands of them.
REP. RON PAUL, R-TEXAS, PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Well, it's very encouraging, because if you got it all from the large donations through bundling by banking interests and others, that wouldn't be very encouraging to me.
But, no, I think the grassroots are much more aware of what I'm doing than a lot of other people. I was very pleased with the fund-raising.
CAVUTO: You know what is interesting? Because your fellow Texan Rick Perry is out with this flat tax proposal. We're going to get into it a little bit. He will be a special guest of mine discerning it.
But while he has in the past raised some big money from some big donors, nothing like what you've been able to do on the small, just average American front. Is that something you want to try to capitalize on, try to pound in the next debate? What?
PAUL: Well, I probably should do more of it. I think it's natural for what I'm doing to get small donors because you know, over the years -- I have been in Washington for a while -- and the lobbyists don't bother me. They don't come and pester me and I don't get a lot of PAC money, so the special interests wouldn't naturally come toward me. So I'm very pleased.
But it also gives us the strength to build the organization that we have a lot of volunteers coming from this. And that's also very important. And we're doing so much better than we had four years ago, but we still know we have a ways to go because sometimes we don't get on the headline news. You might be the only one that's going to be generous enough to report this today. So I'm very pleased.
CAVUTO: Well, I don't know if I'm the only one. It is eye-popping when you see it. I don't care what your point of view is in the media. That's something to report on, period.
What I think the media -- the general media focuses on then, Congressman, is the fact that despite all your money-making prowess which is never in doubt, it hasn't translated with a better poll position of late.
What do you say to those critics who say you're more a financial flash in the pan?
PAUL: I would say we are doing better. Compared to what? Compared to four years ago? Compared to six months ago?
No, we keep going up. We don't surge, but we never drop. If we get a supporter, you know, they're pretty loyal. Others have surged in the polls and they will be top of the pack and all of a sudden they are dropping off quickly. So, ours is very, very steady. And we haven't lost ground, but we do need to prove ourselves.
And that's why we're working very hard in the early stage. And I think January is a big month for us.
CAVUTO: What are you going to do with all this money?
PAUL: We're probably going to advertise on Fox or something like that.
CAVUTO: I guess that's the curse of getting a lot of money, then spending it wisely. And a lot of candidates have been known in the past; Hillary Clinton comes to mind, for recklessly wasting it. Mitt Romney four years ago was criticized for essentially wasting the financial advantage he briefly had.
How do you get this into the right media at the right time with the right message to counter the perception that you've peaked?
PAUL: Yes. And we've had, I think, four or five ads out. And you have to have the expert help. Sometimes I'm the last one to argue about exactly what we should have, because I'm so tied into the philosophy.
And sometimes they suggest other things. But we have good people and they have good ads and they've gone over well. And they have to know the markets and I think that's why we've made some progress.
CAVUTO: The flat tax, a simpler tax, something you have long championed that our present tax code was and is a nightmare, Rick Perry detailing a flat tax plan of his own. This of course comes on the heels of Herman Cain's "999' campaign.
But the Perry plan is said to be an effort to jump-start his campaign. Too little, too late? What do you think of that plan of his? What?
PAUL: Well, I don't know.
I just think that all the others have talked a lot more about taxes than I do. Everybody knows my position on taxes. They're too high and I would like to get rid of the income tax. But my plan didn't talk as much about taxes. We talked about spending because that's where the problem is. And I think they do this almost to stay away from the difficult choices.
How many others have really offered any significant cuts? Nobody's offering that. Nobody in Washington offers real cuts. And I think that's where the problem is. Our crisis has to do with debt, sovereign debt worldwide, and the financial conditions that are continuing to deteriorate, so, whether you collect the revenues with a sales tax plus a flat tax or all flat tax, it's academic.
I want people to ask, what do you think our government ought to be doing? Do you think we have to be the policemen of the world? Do you think we have to these entitlements or not?
CAVUTO: So, you're saying, his plan I think balances the budget by 2020, if he were to be reelected, essentially by the time he's close to out office. Your plan if you get elected president is to balance it I think by your third year.
PAUL: Third year, but we cut $1 trillion the first year.
People's eyes glaze over and say I will balance this in 15 or 20 years. The only thing that counts is one year. The same people are not there after one or two or he years so you have to do it right away. But you have to change the appetite for government.
The taxes, the tax code and the method of collection won't solve the problem. It is not an arithmetic problem. It's a strategic problem on what we think our government ought to be doing. And I think our government should be protecting our liberties and not running our lives and running the economy and policing the world. So there is a big difference. And I try to emphasize that.
CAVUTO: Well, Congressman, you must be doing something right with all those folks giving you checks $5, $10, $15 at a time. It has added up to some lump of cash.
Congressman, good having you on again. Be well.
PAUL: Thanks a lot.

A NEW campaign to encourage more people to use Lancashire's libraries has been launched.
Lancashire County Council said the move aims to highlight the investment being made locally in the service.
A successful pilot in West Lancashire last year saw a 35 per cent increase in new members.
The campaign comes as the council is midway through a £5.5 million regeneration programme to refurbish its 74-strong network of library branches.
The programme is aimed at ensuring that those libraries will not only remain open but will provide modern, flexible facilities, fit for the 21st century.
County Coun Mike Calvert said: "Libraries are at the heart of local communities, which is why we are investing around £5.5 million in refurbishing our network.
"We have also just announced proposals for a further £1million capital investment in our libraries.
"However, we want to change the way people think about libraries.
"We want to attract even more people by letting them know about the brilliant range of services available, from borrowing the latest best-selling books, eBooks and DVDs, to accessing the internet through our network of PCs or using the free wi-fi, to attending exciting events from children's activities to live music."
The campaign will feature local library users on eye-catching outdoor advertising as well as a social media blitz.


text: Professor Julien S Baker Jump to Menu Professor in Applied Physiology, Director of the Research Institute for Clinical Exercise and Health Science 437A Almada Hamilton Campus Tel 01698 283100 firstname.lastname@example.com Biography Professor Julien Baker has investigated the mechanical and pharmacological aspects of strength and power. This work has identified serious errors in the measurement of power using the Monark cycle ergometer and is emphasising the need for a new and more accurate approach to this challenge. The influence of the work conducted by Professor Baker and his colleagues which identified the need to account for fat-free mass and the significant involvement of the arms in the ergometric assessment of power, work output and efficiency, has been substantial. These findings have outlined the considerable differences in haematological, hormonal and biochemical changes in acute and long term exercise when the correct morphological and physiological considerations are considered. Professor Baker's current research interests include the use of high intensity exercise models in the management of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. The models have been used extensively in both children and adolescent populations. In recognition of his research achievements, Professor Baker has been appointed to the editorial board of several UK and international journals and is a former Director of Research for the Welsh Institute of Sport, Health and Exercise Science (http://www.wishes-cymru.org/index.html). Professor Baker and colleagues have investigated anabolic steroid users who were supplementing their androgen regimen with insulin and growth hormone. They also identified a large number of recreational gym users who use pharmacological substances. Working with the National Drug Testing Centre, King's College London (Professor Cowan and Dr Kicman), this initial finding provided the Group with a unique opportunity to monitor the physiological and biochemical implications of this performance-enhancing drug regimen and remains, to the best of our knowledge, the first of its kind. This research has attracted the attention of the international scientific community and the interest in Wales and Scotland has been widespread as evidenced by the involvement of Group members in many radio and national television programmes. Particular concern was voiced by members of the Welsh Assembly Government and, as a consequence, we are currently involved in a process that will identify strategies aimed at counteracting this kind of drug abuse. Professor Baker is a member of the Physiological societies of Britain and USA.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/9/2012 (1793 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
GARDNER, Mass. -- A Massachusetts woman says her cat went to the veterinarian for a flea bath but was mistakenly put to death.
Colleen Conlon of Gardner is grieving the loss of eight-year-old Lady, which she attributes to negligence by the vet, Muhammad Malik. Malik's lawyer says people should wait until all the facts come out before passing judgment.
Conlon's 24-year-old son, Jesse, took Lady to the Broadway Animal Hospital last week and unknowingly authorized the cat to be put to sleep after he says he was handed the wrong forms. He says he learned of the mix-up when he returned with a second cat and the vet asked whether he wanted to keep the body.
"At first he thought it was some cruel joke," Conlon told the Telegram & Gazette newspaper.
But the vet told her son he'd signed the papers. Her son didn't leave the other cat at the vet's office, Conlon said.
Conlon said she has filed a complaint with the state attorney general's office and plans to talk with state licensing officials.
"I don't think there was any malicious intent, but I do think it was negligent," Conlon said.
"I'm sure there are standards of practice they have to follow."
Conlon's daughter had given her the cat about a year before she was killed in a car accident in 2010.
Malik's lawyer, Michael Sheridan, said Malik is well-respected and has saved many animals' lives during his 30 years as a veterinarian.
"He's treated thousands of animals, keeping them healthy and strong," Sheridan said.

Former pupils of a school in Barnet can join in its 170th anniversary celebrations later this year.
The original Christ Church School in St Albans Road was built by Captain John Trotter alongside a parsonage where services were held until Christ Church Barnet was opened in August 1845.
By 1876, 92 children were attending the schools. In 1892, a separate infants' department was built and by 1893 the average attendance had risen to 462.
The building was used as a school for girls until 1952, when they joined the boys at their separate school in Alston Road.
In 1972 the building was bought by the British Red Cross and remained in its ownership until 2012, when it was purchased by The John Trotter Trust on behalf of Christ Church, St Albans Road, Barnet.
Members of the church have set up a campaign to raise money to develop the building into a community centre for older people.
But before this happens, organisers are keen to put together a booklet about the building's past using information from former staff and pupils.
Former pupil Pat Barnham, née Manceni, said: "I started at Christ Church Girl's school in September 1945 when I was seven years old and Reverend Roberts was the vicar.
"My teacher was Mrs Gill and one of the first things I remember learning was the catechism, Christian teaching being high on the agenda.
"Most of the pupils came from the local streets around the church, with a small group coming from Guys Cliffe, a children's home on Barnet Hill almost opposite the current police station.
"In the mornings we always had a bottle of milk to drink before going out to playtime, which took place in front of the building on what is now the car park. There were two large sycamore trees at the road end of the playground which were lovely to sit under and talk or play 'five- stones'.
"We also played numerous skipping and ball games many accompanied by verses sung with great gusto, allowing us to let off steam before going back into class."
If you used to go to the school, or have any information of photographs you would like to share, emails firstname.lastname@example.com or call Pat Blyth on 0208 441 6995.
The group will also host a Victorian Spring Fair on May 17 exactly 170 years to the day when Captain John Trotter bought the land.

While it was officially the last day of winter, the record-breaking heat the Tri-State area has been enjoying for more than a week spawned some violent June-like weather Monday night.
Around 9 p.m. a very strong squall line moved through the Coulee Region, causing damage to an isolated area near Eitzen on the Minnesota-Iowa line.
A 62 by 126-foot pole barn on the Karl and Jean Stokman farm located on the south edge of Eitzen, was completely destroyed by what is believed to have been a micro burst straight wind.
The intense wind pulled the metal roof off the barn in large sections, several of which were deposited on the Stokman's two-story home several hundred feet away. Several of the massive 6 by 6-inch posts that supported the barn, were pulled out of five-foot deep holes.
The Stokmans were home when the storm hit. Karl said he heard a loud thud and felt the house move when a large section of the pole barn roof landed on the house.
The large power pole that provided electricity to the farm was snapped in two and the Stokmans were without power.
"I thought it was snow in the yard," Karl said midday Tuesday. "It was so dark out without the yard light and I saw all this white all over the yard."
It didn't take Karl long to discover the yard was littered with the white metal roof panels from the pole barn.
"I called up my son Rob to see if they had any damage and he was at the Eitzen Fire Hall," Karl continued. Rob Stokman is a member of the Eitzen Volunteer Fire Department. "When I told him I thought we may have been hit by a tornado, they sounded the siren in Eitzen."
The weather alert siren in Caledonia was sounded moments later.
Friends and neighbors arrived around sunrise to help the Stokmans clean up what was left of the pole barn, which had been scattered all over their yard. Electricity service was restored shortly before noon.
No one was hurt and the damage to the house wasn't real serious. Karl got up in the attic and found six of the roof rafters had been broken when a large section of the pole barn roof hit the house. From the ground, the only visible sign that the roof had taken a direct hit was a dark line across a portion of the shingles.
"It could have been a lot worse," Karl said with a shrug. "We'll get through this."
There were a few other reports of pieces of metal roofs pulled from barns in the Eitzen area, but it appeared is if the Stokman farm experienced the most damage.

Top of the Gulf Regatta- training ground for Olympic stars
by Top of the Gulf Media on 16 Apr 2012
Keerati Bualong (left), TOG Regatta regular and Asia Pacific Laser Champion, is set to represent Thailand at London 2012 after taking part in an upcoming Olympic Qualifying event in May. Top of the Gulf
Asia's largest multi-class regatta, the Top of the Gulf Regatta, will take place in Thailand 4 – 8 May 2012 at Ocean Marina Yacht Club, Jomtien Beach, Pattaya. Eight years young, the 2012 Regatta will attract over 600 sailors and 300+ boats and boards, to take part in what has become a 'Festival of Sail' in the Gulf of Thailand, and a key date on the Asian sailing calendar.
Since its inception, the Top of the Gulf Regatta (TOG Regatta) has endeavoured to provide a sailing opportunity for Thai and regional sailors to compete against international sailors of the highest calibre. To this end, each year the Regatta welcomes national, Asian, World Champions and Olympians to take part in a varied fleet of dinghies, multihulls and keelboats.
'Our aim since the beginning has been to organise an international-standard yacht race in the Gulf of Thailand, in-line with ISAF (International Sailing Federation) rules, and with international quality race management,' explained William J Gasson, Chairman of the TOG Regatta Organising Committee.
'For Thai juniors, we incorporated the Thailand Optimist Championships as part of the Regatta and now provide an opportunity for Thai youngsters to compete alongside international sailors and develop their skills,' added Gasson.
Success of the TOG Regatta's approach can be seen in the number of Thai sailors sharpening their skills at the Regatta and going on to great sailing achievements.
After a 12 year hiatus, Thai sailors are set to represent their country again at the Olympics. Current Asian Champion, Keerati Bualong has taken part in many TOG Regattas, and following success in the May Olympic Qualifying event in Germany, will represent Thailand in the Laser Standard in the London 2012 Olympics. He will be joined by fellow TOG Regatta regular Kamonwan Chanyim, who will compete in the Laser Radial.
Other TOG Regatta successes include Noppakao Poonpat, Chaninart Poolsirikot and the Vongtim brothers, Damrongsak and Kitsada.
Noppakao Poonpat went from winning the Thailand Optimist Championships at the TOG Regatta to win consecutive IODA World titles in 2009 and 2010; Chaninart Poolsirikot was recently crowned Optimist Champion (girls) at the 2012 Asian Sailing Championship; and Damrongsak and Kitsada have won national and Asian championships in the Hobie 16 Class and made it into the top 10 world rankings.
While Thailand and Asia are producing top level sailing talent, the region has become a magnet for international sailing events, hosting the Volvo Ocean Race, Extreme Sailing Series and the World Match Racing Tour. And this year, for the first time, the NeilPryde Racing Series – a series of one-design windsurfing events around the world – will make a stop in Thailand as part of the TOG Regatta.
'Bringing the NeilPryde Racing Series to Thailand further cements the Top of the Gulf Regatta's position as a leading sailing event in Asia, offering diverse classes for sailors of all backgrounds, and bringing international sailing talent together for top quality competition,' commented Gasson.
The 2012 TOG Regatta will see 13 competitive classes race in the Gulf of Thailand, including some of the top 40-footers in Asia and a record one-design Platu class competing for the prestigious Coronation Cup. 2012 Classes include: IRC 1, IRC 2, IRC 3, IRC 4 Cruising, Sports Boats, Platu (racing in the Coronation Cup), Ocean Multihulls, F18's, Open Beach Multihulls, Single-handed monohull dinghies, double-handed monohull dinghies, and Optimist (racing in the Thailand Optimist National Championship).
The 2012 Top of the Gulf Regatta will take place 4 – 8 May 2012 at Ocean Marina Yacht Club, Jomtien, Pattaya, Thailand.
The 2012 Top of the Gulf Regatta is supported by the Principal Sponsor Ocean Marina Yacht Club as host venue. Co-Sponsors include Tourism Authority of Thailand, Land Rover and Range Rover, Singha Corporation Group, and Mont Clair Wines. Other sponsors include Thai Airways, Gulf Charters, Mont Gay Rum, Bank of Ayudhya Plc., Neil Pryde, Minor Group (The Pizza Company and Dairy Queen), Corsair Marine Thailand Co. Ltd., QBE Insurance (Thailand) Co. Ltd., SKPF, Thai Numthip Co. Ltd. (Coca Cola), CAT Telecom PCL, Bangkok Pattaya Hospital, Golden Foods Siam Ltd., Lucaris, Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit, Buzzcats and Simpson Marine. Media Partners include Helm Superyacht magazine, SEA Yachting magazine, Go Yachting, Mix 88.5FM, Pattaya Mail, Guy Nowell Photography, and Asianyachting.com. The event is supported by the Yacht Racing Association of Thailand (YRAT), Royal Varuna Yacht Club and Pattaya City.

Top of the Gulf 2012, day 4. Ending not with a bang, but a whimper
off we went. Just as the storm moved away – and took all the breeze with it.
The weather forecast got it right up to a point. There were the overnight thunderstorms, and a very grey and threatening breakfast time. A major rainstorm immediately to the north of the racing area was pushing out plenty of wind, and the major decision was whether to take full oilies or just a jacket. It looked pretty ugly, but that often makes for some dramatic pictures.

Wendron were the weekend's big winners in the Westinsure Cornwall Senior Cup preliminary round, with Paul Murray's side smashing nine unanswered goals past Goonhavern away from home.
Top scorer Luke Wort helped himself to four of them as Wendron tore Goonhavern apart and showed once again why many tip them to challenge for honours in the Combination League this season.
Jason Roberts opened the scoring for Wendron early on, before Justin Searle's long range effort doubled their lead.
Wort's first and Wendron's third came soon after, followed by a goal from Matt Rose.
Chris Madeley's header, and another for Roberts gace Wendron an already unassailable lead at half time, but they weren't finished.
After the break it got worse for Goonhavern, who first conceded a penalty which Wort tucked away, before he found the top corner to cap a stunning afternoon for the 'dron.
Nathan Angove's stoppage time goal sent Falmoth Athletic into the next round of the cup just as the game looked to be heading for extra time.
Nanpean had taken the lead in the tenth minute when Casey Laitey tapped in from close range.
But back came Athletic, who drew level barely five minutes later when Angove rose unmarked in the box to head in.
Both sides had chances in the second half, but right at the death Angove burst clear of the defence and rifled a shot at goal that keeper Lee Tanblin could only parry back into his path - Angove made no mistake at the second time of asking.
RNAS Culdrose were comprehensivbely beaten by Mevagissey away from home to end their involvement in this year's Senior Cup competition.
Martin Davey gave Mevagissey the lead in the 23rd minute before a brace each from the impressive Miles Gardner, and midfielder Richard James, put them four up.
Culdrose were awarded a penalty which Paul Wright tucked away, but Mevagissey completed the scoring just after the break to book their place in the next round.
MULLION 4 (aet)
Perranwell and Mullion coulnd't be separated in normal time, with the scores deadlocked at 2-2, but two goals in extra time from Phil Cattran saw them clinch the victory.
Ros Warra put Mullion a goal up, before Matt Lane equalised for Perranwell, then put the home side 2-1 up with his second of the game.
But Jacob Lugg's late goal took the tie into extra time, and despite Lane scoring again for Perranwell, Cattran's brace saw Mullion over line.
A hat-trick for Illogan captain Simon Ellis against St Stephens saw them cruise into the next preliminary round, but despite the scoreline Illogan first had to come from behind.
Ally Greenside put the visitors one up before Ellis put them back on level terms, then scored again to make it 2-1 at the break.
Another goal from Ellis in the second half, along with strikes from Jack Coleman and James Martin completed the scoring.
Conceding two early goals proved too much for Hayle to recover from on Saturday as they crashed out of the cup at the hands of Millbrook.
Shaun Thompson did the damage for the visitors, scoring both goals in a first half which Millbrook dominated.
Hayle battle back, but they were restricted to a solitary second half strike from Ben Hocking.
Gavin Boon's first half hat-trick set the tone for the rest of the afternoon as St Day cruised past St Dominick.
Boon opened the scoring in the 12th minute, and added to his tally ten minutes later.
His third came just before half time when he raced on to a through ball and slid his shot past the keeper.
Tom Hogarth chipped in with the fourth for St Day when he reacted quickest to a rebound after Danny Ford's shot hit the bar.
Kyle Peacock scored a late consolation goal for St Dominick when he fired in from the penalty spot, before Nathan Taylor scored the home side's fifth.
Elsewhere Probus were narrowly beaten at home by Lanreath after extra time. The game finished 1-1 in normal time, with John Mitchell putting the visitors a goal up before Probus equalised through Alex Hayhoe.
And despite an excellent performance from Probus's young keeper Taylor McDonald, he was powerless to prevent Lee Riley's late strike winning it for Lanreath.
St Ives were sent crashing out of the cup after losing 5-3 on penalties against Ludgvan at the Saltings.
The game finished 1-1 after 90 minutes thanks to goals from Curtis Richards for St IVes, and Liam Devine for Ludgvan. But a further half hour of extra time coulnd't separate the two sides, and the game went to penalties, with Ludgvan coming out on top 5-3.
Meanwhile a Mike Burn hat-trick helped St Agnes overcome Troon 5-2 away from home - Johnny Rowe and Tom Navor-Hills scored the visitors' other goals.
Rob Oldland scored both goals for Troon, with his first coming from the penalty spot.
St Just ran out 3-1 winners at home to Fowey to book their place in the next round, Stuart Nicholls giving them the lead before the break.
Captain Neil Curnow scored two more for St Just before Josh Jones scored what turned out to be little more than a consoaltion goal for Fowey late on.
In the rest of the day's games Roche beat Edgecombe by a single goal at home, and Kilkhampton put four past Morwenstow, who only managed a single goal in response.

Clipmarks is an extension for Firefox, Internet Explorer, and even Flock that will allow you to clip your favorite parts of the web. They just released their latest version, Clipmarks 2.0 that has a few new features that you might like.
What's nice about Clipmarks is that you can clip as much as you want, or as little as you want, from a word or two, all the way to an entire paragraph. You can even clip videos! One of their features even allows you to post your clips right to a blog, or to share with others via email.
Once you install the extension, you'll notice a green clip button at the top of your browser. By clicking on it, you'll be in "clip mode." This means that when you scroll your mouse over a paragraph, a sentence, video, etc., you'll notice orange lines surrounding it. Once you have selected the content that you want, you'll either click inside the orange lines, or click a "clip" button, depending on what you're clipping.
After you've selected your content, you'll see an orange bar at the top where you'll see different options like saving the clip, blogging it, emailing it, or printing it. They offer support for several different blogs if you decide you want to blog about the clip. Additionally they offer support for several video sites including YouTube, DailyMotion, Google Videos, Yahoo Videos, and others.
There is one downside though, as Webware points out. Once you've clipped something on the page and leave, when you return to the same page, it will no longer show what you had clipped. Webware says it's like having a highlighter with disappearing ink! It would be nice if they saved those for you so that you knew what you had clipped when you return to a site.
They've also implemented privacy options. You can decide to have your clips be private, or displayed to the public. If you decide to make your clips public, people can "Pop them" or vote on them, in Digg fashion. On their website, you'll see a list of their "top Pops" for the day, week, or month. They also divide these clips into popular topics like technology, science, or politics.
It's a great, simple tool to use that's worth checking out.

Topic: Hello All....Introduction
Hi All, I found your wonderful site to learn as much as I could to help my mom! She has been diagnosed in the last 3-4 weeks and as I read from many of you our confusion over this disease is shared by all of you. Her story, quickly. She went to see doctor after having some pain in her side and they found a tumor between her liver and pancreas (not attached or a part of either organ). She had no other symptoms, nothing shows in blood tests, all markers are within range but there is a the tumor, I believe a lymph no shows some signs and of course the cancerous cells in the bile ducts where they believe this all started. No blockage at all in bile ducts at this point. She is being treated at MD Anderson (Orlando) and now has a port. Supposed to start Chemo (not sure of cocktail), but is now being told she "may" qualify" for a trial. We were told the chemo was to kill off anywhere else cancer may have spread. Surgeon said he doesn't prefer operating unless it would cure and the location is "risky" to remove. I have been reading the forums and feel better prepared for next Dr. visit (2nd opinion with Mayo (Jax) next week, so already reaping benefits of all who are fighting this.
Some questions for you.....
1. I see very few mentions of using radiation in posts, is this not used often with cc?
2. Not that there is a "typical" but is it normal to attack the system with Chemo first and is there specific cocktails to attack the disease in bile ducts?
3. If she qualifies for the trial Dr. says it is her choice to move forward with it or start with the Chemo. We are just starting the fight and we do not know what questions to ask regarding cost/benefit of clinical trials. Can you suggest things we should ask to help the decision.
4. What makes someone "inoperable", location? Spread of the disease?, WHAT?
5. No mention of transplant by doctors so far, what conditions make someone NOT ELIGIBLE for tranplant.
Lastly, very upset specifically after reading so much about all of you. This past Monday mom asked the "how long do I have question". The doctor said 12 months! After all I have read I have spent all week trying to convince mom the doctor does not know!!!! It seems no two cases of cc are alike, atleast that I can tell. So few cases annually with no clear protocol, anything is possible. We are just beginning our fight, the fact he said this is already sending my emotions into a rage and willing to go with 2nd opinion whatever it ends up being next week! How do you know after 2, 3, 4 opinions which one to go with! We just want to start treatment whatever it is, gotta do something, feeling like everyday not doing something is a day lost.
Your thoughts are appreciated and GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!
