Gervaise Phinn and polar explorer are among guest speakers at Fernhill House
Author and broadcaster Gervaise Phinn and the first Welsh woman to conquer Everest are among a selection of guest speakers booked to entertain and enlighten family, friends and residents of new luxury care home Fernhill House over the coming months.
The free talks are open to the wider public and drinks and nibbles are offered for added appeal! Tori James, who at 25 became the youngest British woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest, will be talking on Thursday June 15th from 6 til 8pm.
She was also part of the first ever women's team to tackle a 360 mile race to the magnetic north pole, some of which was through polar bear territory, and has cycled the length of New Zealand.
Novelist and writer Prof Phinn, who is most well known for his autobiographical memoirs set in the Yorkshire Dales, will be recounting humorous tales of his life working in education when he visits on Thursday July 27th between 6 and 8pm.
Other speakers poised to grace the rather splendid interior of Fernhill House in Fernhill Heath over the coming months include Wimbledon reporter Garry Richardson, Rob Smith who twice overcame cancer and skied to both the North and South Poles, and former footballer and stadium design expert Paul Fletcher.
To book any of these free events and find out about future talks, contact email@example.com or call 01905 679300.

60 cm x 60 cm
Made from 50-100 year old handwoven natural fibers and hand-dyed. The irregularities in color and finishing are a desired effect and give these pieces their special character. The pillow front has substantial weight & structure so it sits up squarely on a couch or bed. Pillow back constructed with pre-washed new linen and an invisible zipper.
60 cm x 60 cm // 25.5 inches x 25.5 inches
This is our biggest pillow yet! Some folks have said these make terrific floor cushions. Great when stacked for extra seating.
We prefer our pillows to be robust and sit with structure, so we recommend feather inserts. Please message us if you have questions about what kind of feather insert we recommend, or click over to pillow inserts for more on U.S.-based retailers who carry our favorite feather inserts.
Your pillow cover may arrive wrinkled and creased, which is normal for vintage linen. We love the irregularities of this antique material, but if you desire a flatter finish, simply hold a low-heat iron over the linen to press out. More on shipping here.
Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent for delicate fabrics. Line dry. Or better yet, dry clean. We recommend handling our vintage linens with care to preserve the subtlety of our hand-mixed colors and hand painted brushstrokes.

Note to Adele and Kelly Clarkson: If you put as much effort into weight loss as you do your careers, you'd be really thin!
That's the message Fox News sent earlier this week when host Neil Cavuto and nutritionist Karen Gilbert spent a whole segment—over four minutes—talking about the singers' weight.
And get this: The show is supposed to be about business. What does weight have to do with financial and economic issues? Exactly.
In the segment, Gilbert tried her best to avoid using the big "F" word when it comes their weights, but she did allude that they're setting a bad example for their fans: "People are looking at Adele and saying, 'look at what she has accomplished. I could be overweight like her. I don't need to address these issues in my life.'"
Uh, no.
Actually, we'd love our sisters and friends to look up to Adele and Kelly as ideals: They're both incredibly talented and not afraid to speak their minds in an industry that still wants women to fit a certain mold. And, for the record, we think they look awesome.
Adele actually said it best last year when she said she never wanted to fit into some unattainable ideal.
"I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that."
Never change, ladies.

Languages: English
On November 7, 1883, an exhibition of 453 works by 137 artists opened at the English Hotel on the downtown Indianapolis Circle. It was the first exhibition organized by the Art Association of Indianapolis, which well-known suffragette May Wright Sewell, her husband Theodore, and a small group of art-minded citizens had formed a few months earlier. In the process, they wrote the mission statement that spelled out their intentions. The success of that exhibition, which attracted sizable crowds throughout its three-week run, established the Art Association as a viable factor in the local cultural scene and led to more exhibitions, as well as lectures and eventually a campus featuring both a museum and an art school (the John Herron Art Museum and John Herron School of Art, together known as the John Herron Art Institute from 1902 to 1967).
Though the Sewalls were never timid about dreaming big, even they would be shocked to see what the small group they helped found over 130 years ago has become. Since the Art Association of Indianapolis changed its name to the Indianapolis Museum of Art in 1969—a precursor to its move the following year from its longtime home on the campus of the John Herron Art Institute at 16th and Pennsylvania streets into a new building at 38th Street and Michigan Road—the organization has evolved into the fifth largest encyclopedic art museum in the country, with active exhibition and education programs that far surpass anything the Art Association's founders could have imagined.
Throughout the institution's history, exhibitions have remained one of the primary activities of the museum, with each exhibition involving staff members and support from every department. The following are lists of directors, presidents, curators, and conservators who represent the primary records creators of this collection:

Evolution of mammalian monogamy remains mysterious
Two large studies reach opposing conclusions about why males stay with females
Courtesy of D. Lukas
Why some mammalian species choose to spend their lives with the same mates has long baffled scientists — and will probably continue to do so as two new massive studies present contradictory results.
One group of researchers says monogamy evolved in primates to counter the threat of males killing babies to boost their siring success. The other team concludes that mammals, including primates, become monogamous when females live far away from one another.
The differences in the studies have raised eyebrows. "They do seem to be saying the opposite thing," says Anthony Di Fiore, an evolutionary anthropologist at the University of Texas at Austin. "It's interesting because they use very, very similar methods," Di Fiore says.
The two groups also disagree on whether the research has implications for why humans evolved fidelity to mates.
Both teams investigated the evolution of social monogamy, which researchers define as males and

Gingrich: Obama is engaged in "Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior"
Blog ››› ››› JEREMY SCHULMAN
Since the beginning of the Obama presidency, right-wing media -- especially those who work at Fox News -- have been carrying out a campaign of not-so-subtle race-baiting.
Today, Fox News contributor Newt Gingrich took this campaign to new levels, reportedly telling the National Review that Obama has pretended to be "normal" but that Obama actually seems to be engaged in "Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior":
Citing a recent Forbes article by Dinesh D'Souza, former House speaker Newt Gingrich tells National Review Online that President Obama may follow a "Kenyan, anti-colonial" worldview.
Gingrich says that D'Souza has made a "stunning insight" into Obama's behavior -- the "most profound insight I have read in the last six years about Barack Obama."
"What if [Obama] is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together [his actions]?" Gingrich asks. "That is the most accurate, predictive model for his behavior."
"This is a person who is fundamentally out of touch with how the world works, who happened to have played a wonderful con, as a result of which he is now president," Gingrich tells us.
"I think he worked very hard at being a person who is normal, reasonable, moderate, bipartisan, transparent, accommodating -- none of which was true," Gingrich continues. "In the Alinksy tradition, he was being the person he needed to be in order to achieve the position he needed to achieve . . . He was authentically dishonest."
Here's the completely ridiculous D'Souza article Gingrich is referencing. D'Souza's thesis -- backed up by an impressive combination of factual distortions and twisted logic -- is that Obama is using the Oval Office to push anti-colonial policies championed by his father half a century ago.
Here's one particularly inflammatory portion of what Gingrich calls D'Souza's "stunning insight":
Incredibly, the U.S. is being ruled according to the dreams of a Luo tribesman of the 1950s. This philandering, inebriated African socialist, who raged against the world for denying him the realization of his anticolonial ambitions, is now setting the nation's agenda through the reincarnation of his dreams in his son. The son makes it happen, but he candidly admits he is only living out his father's dream. The invisible father provides the inspiration, and the son dutifully gets the job done. America today is governed by a ghost.
Fox's race problem just keeps getting worse.
[H/T Dave Weigel]
UPDATE: Gingrich was interviewed on the September 12 edition of Fox News Sunday, but host Chris Wallace did not ask him about his racially-charged assertion that Obama might have a "Kenyan, anti-colonial" worldview.

You might call Sylvia Coles a woman of contradictions.
But then, she's led a contradictory life.
A Lutheran minister's daughter raised in the Victorian parsonage of a rural Missouri town that was almost exclusively white, she would marry the second black man she knew.
A free spirit who snuck out to meet her boyfriend late at night – in an era when such things were not done – she would keep from her parents the fact that her suitor was African-American.
An architect's wife, she would tour much of Europe – then settle in Buffalo.
And, a woman who advocates the independence of women in their own pursuits, she would spend much of her life behind the scenes, managing and working for the architecture firm of her ambitious, career-driven husband.
"I think a lot of architects' wives don't stay around," said Sylvia Coles, in the spacious, light-filled living room of the 1960s-era home in Buffalo that she shares with her husband, the noted architect Robert Traynham Coles.
"I have come to look at it as – " She paused, choosing her next word carefully. Then she smiled.
"A challenge."
Perhaps these contradictions are part of the reason why Sylvia Coles has chosen this moment in her long and colorful life to release a memoir.
At 83, she could easily have stayed silent. Remained in the background, as she knows so well how to do.
After 60 years of marriage to her well-known husband – a milestone the couple will reach Thursday – she could have simply let the world wonder about what exactly had created and sustained their lengthy union.
Instead of speaking out in this way: forthrightly, even bluntly, about the heady ups – and dizzying downs – of her life with her husband, and the ways in which she has tried in the past few decades of her life to come into her own.
This is quintessential Sylvia Coles.
The woman who in many ways has defined her life in opposition – as a counterweight to her husband's eventful career; a balancing force in her household – is now doing, instead of what the world expects, precisely the opposite.
Even today, after more than 50 years in this city, Sylvia Coles will tell you that she considers herself not so much a Buffalonian – a label her husband proudly and publicly claims – but a citizen of the world.
"I've never called myself a Buffalonian," said Sylvia Coles. "I always felt I could be at home – anywhere."
Growing up, getting married
A child of the Great Depression, born on Christmas Eve in 1929, a few months after the stock market crash, Sylvia Meyn grew up in the places her father, a Lutheran minister, was called. Mostly, her childhood was spent in Altenburg, Mo., a rural settlement she remembers as having about 200 people when the Meyns moved there.
Perhaps the best thing about Altenburg was the cozy Victorian parsonage in which the young Sylvia played with her brother, Werner, and sister, Helen.
"I loved that house," reminisced Coles, whose father's family is German. "It had all the desirable – and all the undesirable – features."
"It had a wrap-around porch," she continued. "I remember it had a tin roof. It was hard to heat. My mother used to start the furnace in the dining room before I was up." Her blue eyes softened at the memory. "I loved the porch – you could play on the porch on rainy days."
She graduated from Wartburg College in Iowa. Then she took an office job in Minneapolis, doing stenography. It was in that period of her life that Sylvia Meyn agreed to go with a girlfriend, Doris, to a nightclub in the St. Paul area. The Key Club was a jazz hotspot.
In her new memoir, Sylvia Coles writes about the moment she first met her future husband. Robert Traynham Coles was at the Key Club with some friends, one of whom was the young man that Sylvia's friend Doris was dating.
Robert Coles walked up to the table where Sylvia sat, and asked her to dance. He introduced himself as Bob, and said he was studying architecture.
"Bob was the first black person I had met," Sylvia Coles said. "One of my girlfriends had a black boyfriend – I knew him, but I didn't know him well."
The pair hit it off.
"She was a good dancer," Robert Coles, 83, said recently, remembering. "[The Key Club] was a club that was open to interracial couples. We felt warm and open and cozy there."
They made a date for the following weekend, then began seeing each other steadily.
But, as their closeness grew, they had to deal with the reactions provoked by their relationship. In the early 1950s, interracial romances were not common – and often sparked controversy.
While she was dating her future husband, Sylvia Coles writes in her memoir, she became pregnant and ended up having an illegal abortion. In the book, she writes about the "profound regret" she felt at that time, a sadness that has stayed with her "forever."
Among those who were shocked by the couple's relationship were her parents. They did not learn about their son-in-law's race until after the two had married, in 1953. Mrs. Meyn walked in on them one day in the kitchen of their newlywed apartment – and got a surprise.
"It was very unusual," said Coles, who describes her family's reactions to her husband in her book. "My parents thought that I was out of my mind. There was discrimination we faced … it really surprised us.
"Unless you've done it," she said, of interracial marriage, "you have no idea what it is like. You have to experience it."
Moving to Buffalo
Soon after their marriage, the couple, who had settled in the Boston area where Robert Coles attended graduate school at MIT, left on a one-year tour of Europe, as part of a prestigious scholarship for young architects that he had won. Sylvia accompanied him.
For Sylvia Coles, that year exploring Europe became the beginning of a lifetime of travel – a passion that has led her to think of herself as a citizen of the world, not upstate New York.
"I think I'm kind of a composite of all the places I've been," said Coles, a petite, slight woman, who wears her hair in a dramatic cropped cut.
She has seen Europe, Africa, Canada, Papua New Guinea and South America, among other places. Each time she travels, she is known to bring back – and share with others – artwork, sculpture, archaeological finds, and bits of language and culture from the places she has been.
"She was known for traveling widely, and then putting on shows about those places," said Mary Lou Frost, a recent past president of the Buffalo Museum of Science Camera Club, where Coles was a longtime member and often put on presentations about her trips.
"People loved the fact that she traveled so widely, and then she came back," Frost said. "One gentleman [in the club] said, 'She always captured the culture when she traveled. ' "
"You didn't just see the things she had seen – you felt like you had been there."
Her husband provided a contrast. Though Robert Coles has traveled to equally far-flung places, he remains staunchly tied to the Rust Belt city where his family has deep roots. Coles' father was a long-tenured upper-level employee of the postal service in Buffalo.
"I am a Buffalonian," Robert Coles asserted firmly, on a recent day, in the bright kitchen of the couple's home. "There's no doubt. Committed."
After their year abroad, the couple returned to Cambridge where they were raising a young family: a daughter, Marion, who was a relative of Robert's that they were raising, and a son, Darcy, that they had had together.
Then, Robert Coles was offered an opportunity to work on a building in Buffalo – a public recreation center, the John F. Kennedy center on the East Side – that he had started conceptualizing earlier, as a graduate student.
"That was the first building I did in Buffalo," said Robert Coles. "It was my thesis at MIT."
Robert and Sylvia Coles moved to Buffalo in 1961. Robert Coles began to work as an architect in the city, and also built the modern home on Humboldt Parkway, not far from Canisius College, where the couple still lives.
Plain-fronted and lean-lined, the 2,200-square-foot home – which Sylvia Coles calls a version of California-style design, but Bob refers to as a Techbuilt modular home – was recently named to the National Register of Historic Places. A tour of visitors will be viewing the home and grounds this spring; Sylvia Coles said it is the first time their home has been opened for a public tour.
"In Buffalo, there's not a lot of them," said Edward J. Lindsay, president of the Buffalo chapter of the American Institute of Architects, of the recognition of the Coles' ultra-contemporary home on the national register. "Being that he designed and built his [house], that's interesting."
"Bob's basically a contemporary architect," Lindsay said. "He does current, modern."
As for Sylvia, she recalled the transition from Cambridge to Buffalo as a move she was not initially in favor of making.
Even the new house struck her as a big change from what she was used to. But, over time, she said she has grown to love and appreciate it. Now, if you ask her to take her choice, she said she would choose to live in a contemporary house like the one Bob designed for them over a rambling Victorian of the kind she knew as a child.
"At first, I was very negative to it," Sylvia Coles said, of moving to Buffalo. "But then, as I grew used to living here … I began to like it."
"I think our lives would have been a lot different if we had stayed in Cambridge," she said, reflectively. "I think all of our lives would have been different – and I think our children's lives would have been different."
Marion and Darcy Coles no longer live in Buffalo. Marion, who worked as a railroad engineer, is retired and lives in California. Darcy went through difficulties with money and prospects, detailed by his mother in her memoir, and was for a time homeless, Sylvia Coles said. The Coles have no grandchildren.
Robert Coles said he isn't disappointed that neither of his children went into his profession.
"They probably had the talent," he said. "Whether they had the inclination is something else. I don't think I led them into architecture."
"I led them away from architecture."
Building careers
Architecture remains an intense and demanding profession that requires a lot of practitioners, those who know about the field through personal experience agree.
It also can put enormous demands and stresses on families.
"Yeah," said Lindsay, the president of the local architects' association, emphatically. "Especially if you own your own firm. Anybody who does it knows: it's a seven-day-a-week job. You don't spend a lot of time with the family and the children.
"That's why a lot of architects' marriages end in divorce."
For the Coles, the years in which Bob worked to build and run his own architectural practice in Buffalo – Robert Traynham Coles, Architect, P.C., was created in the early 1960s – were busy and productive ones. The firm is still in business in Buffalo.
During its most successful periods, the firm had 20 or more employees, operated offices in Buffalo and Washington, D.C., and completed major multimillion-dollar projects including the physical sciences and natatorium at the University at Buffalo's North Campus (known as Alumni Arena) in Amherst and the Frank E. Merriweather Jr. Library on Jefferson Avenue in the city.
"The concept was extremely well-received. This was really a vision of his," said Mary Jean Jakubowski, director of the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library system, of Coles' design for the Merriweather library, which was completed in 2006. The 20,000-square-foot library, which cost in the range of $4 million to $5 million to build, was designed in the style of an African village, with different circular spaces uniting to form the overall structure.
"It is such a successful building," Jakubowski said. "It was so unique, and so advanced, beyond what any other libraries were at the time."
Today, Jakubowski said, the library remains one of the most visited city branches. "It's tremendously used," she said.
But the practice of such intensive craft translated to some difficulties for the Coles family, Sylvia Coles writes in her memoir.
In the book, she writes that her husband was "not a family man" while practicing his profession.
The long hours demanded by architecture, especially when an architect is running a solo firm, are a drain on a family, and result in extra stress for the spouse, said Sylvia Coles. There were times when the family went camping or traveled, and they did enjoy sailing trips on sailboats, both locally and in the tropics.
But there were also a lot of stresses, she said.
"[Architects] are occupied with getting ahead," she said. "With their profession – I don't get [the sense] that they are family men."
"They are very egocentric. They have to be egocentric, to be going after the work they do."
Robert Coles, who said he has read parts of his wife's memoir, said the profession is one that demands much of those who practice it.
"Architecture has its swings," he said. "Its high points and low points. If you are an architect – and if you are a black architect – you face even more difficult challenges."
Others who have shared these sorts of lives – and who know the Coles as a couple – agreed.
Susan Allen Toth, a Midwestern writer who married an architect who was a college friend of Robert Coles, said that being married to an architect is not a job for the faint of heart. Toth has written essays on the subject.
"I adored my husband. We had a wonderful life together," said Toth, who was married to James Stageberg for 28 years – a second marriage for both.
"Architects have to have very sturdy egos to survive," she said. "It is a difficult profession. Very few rise to the top – and I am using 'top' in a very local sense."
The wife of an architect has to have her own kind of strength, said Toth.
"It takes a woman with a very strong sense of her OWN self, to stand up to that," she said. "You have to establish your own identity."
Her own time
That is a pursuit at which Sylvia Coles has applied herself, the past few decades.
In that time, she has worked to separate herself from her husband's architectural practice, where she had long performed tasks as an office manager, bookkeeper and in other roles.
In fact, the hardest part of their marriage might well have been those periods "during the years when I was thinking of breaking away from the firm," Sylvia Coles said. "I think [Bob] might have seen that as disloyalty."
"But I was interested in developing my own life," she said, "instead of just working for him."
She earned two graduate degrees from UB, an MBA in 1980 and a master's degree in social sciences in 1997.
"She stood out," said Dr. John C. Boot, a retired professor from UB's School of Management. "She made the grade on her own qualifications. I think she's a courageous woman – and I think she's a very competent woman.
"She was courageous to try something new – and to start late in life."
Sylvia Coles combined her interest in travel with her interest in anthropology and social sciences studies, using her trips to do field research and collect material and ideas.
She also in this period dedicated much of her time to photography. A longtime member of local camera clubs, Coles began to enter her work in local competitions and exhibits.
Those who know her photography describe it as displaying a special eye for the world around her – particularly nature, and man-made structures, and the places where the two intersect.
"With photography, anybody can take a nice picture," said Donald J. Siuta, director of the Art Dialogue Gallery in Buffalo and a longtime member of the board of directors of the Buffalo Arts Commission. "But Sylvia had a knack of capturing something a little bit different."
"She had a good sense of composition," said Siuta, who exhibited her photos in his space. "I did see that there was a lot of talent. She was doing something really unique."
Though they are dissimilar in some ways, Siuta said that artistic talent might be one of the key commonalities between Sylvia and her well-known husband.
"That's what might have drawn them together," he said. "But she had that talent within her."
Sylvia Coles has also found her own space in her writing. The memoir is evidence of that.
That is why even the painful parts – about her early life; about her complex relationship to her husband; about her children – are worth discussing in public, she said.
"I figured, if I was writing about myself – I felt I should be as honest as I could."

By now, most of you have heard of One Action, One Boulder, also known as Niwot's Arrow. The brainchild of playwright Kirsten Wilson, there have been One Action events throughout the community all year long, including the One Book, One Boulder community reading of "Chief Left Hand," the "Chief Niwot: Legend & Legend" exhibit at the Boulder History Museum and the "Rocks Karma Arrows" play, among others.
I recently attended a One Action performance, "Reflections on Chief Niwot," which featured the talented improvisational actors of Playback Theater West and Motus Theater.
This event was held especially for those who had seen the exhibit or play or participated in the reading program. Audience members volunteered to share personal experiences of learning the tragic history of Chief Niwot. The cast created brief sketches, capturing the events and emotions of the stories.
One young man reflected on an eighth-grade reading project he completed years ago. He had chosen "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" by Dee Brown. The book revealed the Sand Creek Massacre early on, and tragedy after tragedy ensued on the pages as Native American people were decimated and displaced. The young man remembers weeping over and over while reading the book. He performed the tragedy for his classmates, from the perspective of a soldier who had participated and then felt regret. Years later, this young man wrote his senior thesis in college on conflict resolution.
A woman, whose voice was shaken with emotion as she recounted her experience, shared a conversation overheard while picnicking on the banks of Boulder Creek. Two men were discussing pricey real estate; one owned, the other hoped to own. The owner told of regulations that might impede an expansive remodel. He also warned his cohort of low-income housing policies that allowed "riffraff" into neighborhoods. Better, he thought, to spread around the "riffraff," lest a ghetto would form.
The woman, stunned by this exchange, thought about the time of Chief Niwot, when the Indians were considered "riffraff" and impediments to progress. She visited the statue of Chief Niwot on the Boulder Creek Path offering an apology. Hoping to help the Arapaho and Cheyenne people, she contacted tribal offices in Oklahoma.
Her personal shame was that she had not confronted the bigotry she overheard.
Heartfelt, hopeful dramatizations, inflected with humor, were produced from these accounts by the "Reflections on Chief Niwot" cast.
Clearly, community members have been profoundly moved by this part of our local history. Many of us are left wondering what to do. That's where One Action comes in. Each of us is encouraged to choose one meaningful way to make our society a better place.
After the actors received a standing ovation, one audience member asked how they learned to work so well together. Director Kirsten Wilson explained that improv actors are trained as a group to listen carefully, to be open to each other's ideas and to support the collective work.
I think they're onto something.
The final performance of "Reflections on Chief Niwot" will be staged at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 15 at the Boulder Public Library Canyon Theater. For more information, visit one-action.org.

Suddenly, I'm a fan of Sarah Palin's. No, not because she bailed on her job as governor of Alaska midway through her term and put her political career in jeopardy. But precisely because she didn't care — other things, she said, were more important.
While the former vice-presidential candidate for the Republican Party tried to put a positive spin on her decision to quit the governorship at the end of the month, the news didn't sit well with many Republicans and conservative radio shock-jocks and columnists around the country.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Federal Agency Claims Western Kentucky Coal Mine Denied Jobs to Black Applicants
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A Kentucky coal mine violated federal law by denying employment to black applicants at its Union County, Ky., mine, according to a lawsuit filed (date) by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
According to the EEOC's suit, a class of qualified black applicants were denied jobs in underground mining positions at River View Coal's Waverly, Ky., mine since at least August 2008 because of their race.
Making employment decisions based on race violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit (Case No. 4: 11-cv-117 ) in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, Owensboro Division, after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement. The agency is seeking back pay, compensatory and punitive damages against River View Coal, as well as other relief, including a permanent injunction to prevent the company from engaging in future hiring discrimination.
"Employers must choose employees based on their qualifications, and not on the color of their skin," said Laurie A. Young, regional attorney for the EEOC's Indianapolis District Office.
River View Coal, LLC is a subsidiary of Alliance Resource Partners, LP. According to the company website, Alliance is the fourth-largest eastern U.S. coal producer, operating nine mining complexes in three operating regions: Illinois Basin, Central Appalachia, and Northern Appalachia. Production began at the River View mine in 2009 and 5.9 million tons of coal was produced in 2010.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Looking like summer has come early this week; anyone want to play Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon / evening somewhere in Arlington? I'm pretty flexible about location...
Views: 121
Replies to This Discussion
Are you free Wednesday? Can play just about any time. Live near Bluemont. All courts are used by students between 3:30 to 5:30pm.
Wednesday will work. Do you want to meet at Bluemont about 6pm? Will there be courts free then?
Hopefully, there were some available tonight. The students started to leave between 5:30 and 6:00 which freed up some of the courts. We should be fine. There are a group of regular players that are meeting there at 6:00 tomorrow. Maybe we can play doubles if you like.
Hey Charles, Let me know if you can play around the Court house/Clarendon area this week. I am looking for a consistent hitting partner this spring/summer.
A group of us are playing at Bluemont Park around 6:30pm on Monday and Wednesday weather permitting. Let me know if you can make it.

Kelly Clarkson Visits Sick Kids for Christmas
Always one to use her singing talents for the greater good, Kelly Clarkson stopped by Monroe Carrell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt on Dec. 21 to spread some holiday cheer. Clarkson sang a few songs and celebrated the season with patients and staff at the hospital in her hometown of Nashville.
Although Clarkson just released her 'Greatest Hits -- Chapter One' album, she wasn't performing any of her old hit songs for her fans at the children's hospital. Instead, the first-ever 'Idol' winner helped bring the Christmas spirit by playing an acoustic guitar and providing a singalong of her favorite Christmas songs. 'Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer,' 'White Christmas,' and 'All I Want for Christmas is You' were all on the list, which was surely a delight to the children in need.
In addition to encouraging the little ones to sing, the pop-country crossover star told them to feel free to dance around. After she sang several songs, Clarkson took the time to visit the rooms of children who were too sick to attend the party.
"This is such a special time of year and I'm so happy to be able to share it with all of these great kids. I'm probably having just as much, if not more, fun than they are," Clarkson said in a statement. "I heard about Musicians On Call from a friend of mine," she continued, "and I thought this would be the perfect way to get involved with a hospital music program here in Nashville. I love playing for the kiddos!!"
Musicians on Call is a program that facilitates major entertainers to perform in hospitals. The Nashville branch has worked with country stars like Brantley Gilbert, Hunter Hayes, Martina McBride, Jerrod Niemann, Kellie Pickler, Darius Rucker, Blake Shelton and more to bring cheer to hospital wards in Music City.

|signing the logbook
|love our truck
So today, on my birthday, we decided to head up to Boston Bar. The plan? Getting up to the Nahatlatch Forestry Lookout Tower and grab all the geocaches along the way.
|See the tower?
|Amazing view from the top!
|Tony and the tower
The Nahatlatch Forest Fire Lookout was rebuilt by the Four Wheel Drive Association, SWATT, some geocachers and BC Rec Sites & Trails. What a project to undertake! Wow.
The "Rebuild" geocaching series was created by Trixnbun in honour of the rebuilding of the Lookout Tower and the entire series is such a great tribute. The hides are not difficult and I love that the hints are good so that there is no unnecessary wear & tear on the environment. Every once in a while we'd get a glimpse of the view of the Fraser Canyon and it would just take our breath away. Finally we arrived at the lookout and we were so excited to see the brand new rebuilt tower. The view from this spot is truly amazing. I'm sorry to say the pictures just don't do it justice. You have to see it in real life. Spectacular.

And it was SO worth it.

You can implement children's programming in your adult facility with a strategic plan of action. The benefits of adding the programming outweigh any of the challenges. Adding children's programming makes sense for most adult clubs for several reasons. It can provide a potential increase in member retention, increase non-dues revenue and focus positive public attention for taking a stand on rising childhood obesity in your area.
Here are six steps for starting children's programming at your club:
1. Ask your membership for input. Most club owners find success with children's programming through their present member base first. Ask for member support and establish a program schedule that addresses members' needs. Educate your members by sharing statistics about childhood obesity and/or inactivity in club newsletters, e-mails and on your Web site. Empower your present member base by taking a stand and becoming a resource for those wanting answers about the lack of programming for kids in the area.
2. Recruit the right professionals. Whether you recruit staff for the children's programs from your current staff or hire from outside your club, make sure you choose professionals with the passion and patience to be the "fun" directors of the club. The children's workouts and programs must be focused on fun rather than the science behind body movements. Hire for the personality and train the skill.
3. Invest time or invest in toys. Many club owners find that taking inventory of the equipment you have in the club will decrease the initial expenses associated with implementing a new program. Kids circuits can easily be set up with a few stacked steps, a couple of hula hoops, a jump rope and a hip hop CD. Other club owners can increase interest in children's programming by purchasing gaming devices or sports-specific equipment. Those clubs with pools, playgrounds and empty group fitness studios have ready-made kids programming options available to them. Swim lessons, Saturday morning boot camps (while parents run the tracks) and street dance lessons are easily added to schedules as members get used to working out with their kids.
4. Price your programs as you would small group training sessions. Most club operators who offer kids options with this pricing have found success. Month-to-month options or a punch-card system are popular and often sold as add-ons from the menu of services in adult clubs. Many clubs also design packages for siblings or have a referral system for those who bring a friend.
5. Offer popular programs, such as parties, socials and gaming nights. Creating revenue opportunities from the unused pool, the empty group fitness studio or the front room social area will increase gross revenue from non-dues sources. Advertise the pool as the coolest party place in town, and ask sales reps to demonstrate gaming devices in your waiting areas. Get the hottest hip hop or salsa teacher to give Saturday afternoon lessons when fewer members are historically in the club.
6. Reap the benefits of kids programming. Members are asking for them and kids are in need. Get the toys out, and the toddlers will come.

The senior also finished with a combined 12 kills, one ace, and 25 digs respectively.
Glavan earned her third Defensive Player of the Week selection in 2013 after leading the Beacons with 5.87 digs per game. In two of the four matches, Glavan recorded 20 or more digs and topped off at 31 digs in the 3-2 loss to the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. Against the Panthers of Plymouth State University, she put-up 20 digs to lead the Beacons to a perfect 7-0 conference record and the number one seed in this year's tournament.
Finally Murphy recorded her third Rookie of the Week selection after posting 2.27 kills and 3.3 points per game for the Beacons. The Canton native registered a .351 hitting percentage to lead all Beacons. Her best performance of the week came when she fired home 10 kills against the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh on Saturday. She finished with nine kills in the 3-0 win over Vassar College to close out the 2013 regular season. Murphy also recorded in the 3-1 week a total of two assists, three aces, and 11 total blocks respectively.

ATLANTA, April 3 (UPI) -- Data from poison centers in all 50 states indicates the number of calls involving e-cigarette liquids containing nicotine rose from one per month in September 2010 to 215 per month last February.
A report, published in the Centers for Disease Control's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, said the the analysis found the proportion of e-cigarette calls to poison control centers increased from 0.3 percent in September 2010 to 41.7 percent in February.
Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the CDC, said poisoning from conventional cigarettes usually involves young children eating them, but e-cigarette poisoning involves the liquid containing nicotine poisoning by ingestion, inhalation or absorption via the skin or eyes.
"This report raises another red flag about e-cigarettes -- the liquid nicotine used in e-cigarettes can be hazardous," Frieden said in a statement. "Use of these products is skyrocketing and these poisonings will continue. E-cigarette liquids as currently sold are a threat to small children because they are not required to be childproof, and they come in candy and fruit flavors that are appealing to children."

What is a Vollzeitstudium?
For a foreign student, a Vollzeitstudium at a German university means to be enrolled in a complete degree course and to graduate with a degree.
The choice for such a degree course initially entails a lot of bureaucracy and red tape, but then you might want to consider the difficulties involved in applying for a degree course and the notification of admission as the first steps in a series of intercultural experiences.
In order to fully prepare you for your application we have assorted all important information concerning requirements and forms.
Important Preconditions and Requirements for Studying
It is necessary for you to ascertain whether your school qualifications are on par with German university admission qualifications. To do that, please use the website anabin.de or the database of the DAAD. The Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Dresden (HTW Dresden) uses the system uni-assist. If you choose to study at the HTW, the application forms are sent directly to uni-assist. For a fee, uni-assist ascertains whether the forms and documents are complete and whether admission to the desired major subject is possible in principle. When the result is positive, the application will be redirected to the university or college of your choice. This procedure aims at relieving the workload for the universities and colleges. In Dresden it is only used by the HTW.
All the other colleges of higher education have their staff check the received application forms and documents. This procedure is free of charge. It stands to reason that you should check whether your application materials are complete before submitting them; it relieves the workload of the staff members involved and speeds up the process.
In case your qualification is not on par with German university admission qualifications, you may still be able to study in Germany. There are ways of obtaining the admission qualification later, namely in the so-called Studienkolleg (preparatory course for foreign students). A course at such a Studienkolleg takes two semesters and ends with the "Prüfung zur Feststellung der Eignung ausländischer Studienbewerber für die Aufnahme eines Studiums an Hochschulen und Universitäten der Bundesrepublik Deutschland" (Feststellungsprüfung - "test to ascertain the suitability of foreign students applying for admission for a study at a university of college of higher education in the Federal Republic of Germany"). The training at the Studienkolleg is free of charge for prospective foreign students of the Saxonian universities and takes place at the state preparatory course for foreign students in Leipzig. Applicants for a place at one of the Saxonian universities of applied sciences may attend a preparatory course in Zittau.
Alternative preparation is offered at the Studienkolleg TUDIAS in Dresden. Please note that this program only serves as a preparation course for mathematical, technical and natural sciences subjects (except for biology). This training is not free of charge; a fee is due per semester.
An admission test has to be taken to gain entry to a Studienkolleg, testing your knowledge of the German language and depending on the major subject, your knowledge of mathematics.
Knowledge of the German Language
In order to start studying in Germany, an acknowledged language certificate (for instance DSH, Test DaF) is required. In case of insufficient skills of the German language, it is possible to catch up by means of intensive language courses in your home country or in Germany. The benchmark test is the Deutsche Sprachprüfung für den Hochschulzugang (DSH-Prüfung), the German language test for admission to colleges of higher education for foreign students. The universities themselves organise the DSH-test. Therefore, applications have to be submitted directly to the International Office of the university of your choice. This, however, does not apply to prospective students of the University of Applied Sciences in Dresden, where registering for a language course is a procedure which has to be done together with the application for a place of study.
One way of getting ready for the DSH-test is to attend a preparatory semester in Dresden. Whilst participating in intensive language courses, a place of study is reserved for you. A limited number of places in the DSH preparatory courses is reserved for the prospective students with the best results in the admission tests and is free of charge. All other students will have to pay a fee to attend these courses.
Catching up on your German language skills is also possible at a Sprachkolleg in Zittau. Should you wish to increase your proficiency in the German language at another institute or in your home country, make sure you obtain an acknowledged language certificate.
After successfully concluding your admission procedures and subsequent enrolment, your college of higher education often does not finance any additional language courses. In exceptional cases you will be informed by the responsible international office. At your own expense, several language schools offer language courses tailored to your major subject. A major factor contributing to the improvement of your German language skills is of course the direct language contact in your everyday life.
Academic Preconditions and Prerequisites
In Germany, there is a distinction between so-called free major subjects and major subjects with numerus clausus (nc), (limitation of admission). The numerus clausus refers to a limitation in the number of admissions to the study of certain major subjects. If the demand exceeds the supply of available places for students, the colleges of higher education or the federal states can impose this admission limitation. The numerus clausus is related to the average grade of the pre-university diploma (secondary school). The time that passes between obtaining the right to admission and the application for a place of at the university is also taken into consideration. If one applies for an nc-major subject, it is necessary to have the certificate of your graduation translated by a certified translator.
As far as free major subjects are concerned, satisfactory or good results at school, or, in some cases, a previous study course are prerequisites. In most cases all applicants will be allocated a place at university.
On the other hand, major subjects with a numerus clausus only have a limited contingent of places, which are therefore allocated according to a specific selection procedure. Of course the same minimal prerequisites for admission apply as for free subjects. A further specific feature of numerus clausus major subjects is the fact that places may be allocated either by a national or central agency or by the individual university or college. That means that some major subjects are allocated generally by the Zentralstelle für die Vergabe von Studienplätzen (ZVS), the central office for the allocation of places. In these cases prospective students can state his preference for a specific university or college but receives no guarantee whatsoever that their wish can or will be taken into consideration.
Foreign students who are not citizens of member states of the European Union, as a rule, always apply at the university or college of higher education of their choice, irrespective of the fact that their major subject of choice is allocated freely or centrally through the ZVS, since it is the university or college that checks the admission conditions and requirements. Foreign students who are citizens of member states of the European Union on the other hand, find themselves on the same footage admission-wise as German prospective students, and have to apply directly at the ZVS when it concerns major subjects allocated by the ZVS. Non-German students from European Community member states who apply for a place that is not allocated by the ZVS should send their application to the International Office of their university or college of preference.
Sometimes individual universities or colleges fix their own numerus clausus, since they cannot accommodate all applicants. In those cases, the universities or colleges themselves decide which applicants will be enrolled. Application takes place via the Academic International Office of the university or college in question.
Naturally you will want to know whether the major of your choice is subject to numerus clausus stipulations or not. Whether the major of your choice is free or allocated through the ZVS can be checked on the websites of the universities and colleges under the heading Studienmöglichkeiten (colleges, programmes, degrees) or on the website of the ZVS. An additional ZVS-nc following your major subject means that allocation takes place through the ZVS.
Financial Requirements
A Certification of Finances or Affidavit of Financial Support, stating that you are able to finance your studies in Germany yourself is obligatory. It takes a deposit of at least 6,600 EUR for two semesters on an account in Germany. Monthly withdrawals from that account should not exceed 550 EUR. Such an account can also be opened in your home country at a German bank. Further financing must be made credible or plausible by producing appropriate documents. Information on this is available at the International Office responsible.
Prospective applicants should inquire as to the existing application deadlines. Either contact the university or college of preference on this, or visit their website and find out, because application deadlines may vary.
Application Materials
Application materials sent to the Academic International Office of the university or college in question should be complete and legible.
The following documents should always be included:
- an application for admission to university or college study, completely filled out, with a personal signature, and including a passport photograph
- officially authenticated copies of graduation diplomas including a grade survey of the secondary school graduation
- if extant: officially authenticated copies of the admission test certificates and officially authenticated copies of certificates of previous studies in your home country or other universities or colleges, including major subject, course and grade surveys
- officially authenticated proof of sufficient proficiency in the German language/acknowledged language certificates
Depending on the major and university or college in question, often additional specific application materials are required.
For instance, the Technische Universität Dresden (TUD) (Technical University of Dresden) requires that international applicants include a written and personally signed explanation of the choice of the major subject and of the choice of Dresden as the location of their studies. In part, certificates should be translated and/or authenticated. Often the inclusion of international reply coupons is required for a postal correspondence.
Again it is advisable to contact the university or college in question and to ask whether additional documents or materials are required. As a rule, all the relevant information pertaining to your application is available on the websites of the universities or colleges in question.
Applicants from some countries have to submit additional specific forms and information. Please inquire at the Academic International Office responsible!
It is advisable first to collect all the necessary application materials in their entirety before sending them to the Academic International Office in question.
A comprehensive application can be checked faster and you will find out sooner whether your application has been successful. You will also avoid the stress involved in having to send additional documents to Germany at short notice.
Last but not least: it is of advantage to post the application materials as soon as possible in order to make sure there is sufficient time for yourself and the university or college staff members involved should it become necessary to rectify any possible mistakes and/or deficiencies in the application materials.

After announcing nearly a year ago it was in discussions with the New York Yankees about the possibility of relocating the Yankees' Class A Advanced affiliate minor league team to Ocala from Tampa, city staff will present an agreement it has negotiated with the Yankees to the City Council at Tuesday's workshop meeting for consideration.
After announcing nearly a year ago it was in discussions with the New York Yankees about the possibility of relocating the Yankees' Class A Advanced affiliate minor league team to Ocala from Tampa, city staff will present an agreement it has negotiated with the Yankees to the City Council at Tuesday's workshop meeting for consideration.
The discussion will include details of a proposed stadium/entertainment complex.
"The meeting next week is simply to wheel the project out to the public's eyes for the first time," City Manager Matthew Brower said. "No action will be taken. We will give a total overview of the project."
Brower outlined the items that will be discussed.
"We will talk about the license agreement, the agreement between the Yankees and city of Ocala. We will talk about the land agreements. We have two of those we will talk about. We will also talk about the feasibility study we did," Brower said.
He said a consultant the city hired will be present to talk at length about the study.
"We will talk about the cost of the project and the funding mechanisms we plan to use and the time line," Brower added.
Brower said the project has been in the works for 2� years.
"We are going to be excited to bring it, to allow the public to view it and vet it," he said.
Anthony Bruno, senior vice president and chief financial officer of Yankee Global Enterprises LLC, said he would be in Ocala on Tuesday.
City Council President Mary Rich said she thinks having a minor league team would be good for Ocala.
"They did a poll," Rich said about the staff. "The poll said the majority of people would like it. I think that's why we went on with it (negotiations)."
Asked about the expense, she said it would not be expensive, but then added, "You know, to build a stadium, it's going to be expensive. But I don't know exactly what they are asking of us ... I do know the county has to own the property. That is state law. So they have to be involved, too."
Mayor Kent Guinn favors the project.
"I think it makes a lot of sense," Guinn said. "It's a good quality-of-life-type venue."
He said the stadium would cost an estimated $45 million, which would include developing the property and providing the infrastructure. It could be paid for with a half-cent sales tax for five years, which would generate about $85 million.
"That's less than $100 a year per household in Marion County," Guinn said. "Twenty percent of it is not even paid for by people that live here."
The sales tax would have to be put on a referendum for voters to decide. The County Commission would have to approve putting the measure on the ballot. Guinn said the city and county could share the cost of the special election. He said the referendum could be done at a special election in March.
If all the pieces fell into place, the stadium could be open for the 2016 baseball season.
"My position as an elected official: I think it's important to give people the opportunity to decide what they want to do with their money. It's their money," he said. "They should have an opportunity to vote on it."
Guinn said having the Yankees would bring jobs, not only for baseball itself, but he said he believes other companies will locate in Ocala.
And it could attract people driving by who could see the stadium from Interstate 75. He said a site being considered is behind the Heath Brook development.
Asked why the Yankees would want to come here, he said that Tampa has multiple sports venues, such as Yankee spring training, the Rays, Bucs, University of South Florida the Tampa Bay Lightning.
"Minor league Single A baseball is not as big a deal there as here," Guinn said.
As mayor, he cannot vote on the project or agreement. The City Council will make those decisions.
Guinn said retirees from the State Road 200 corridor, from Citrus County, The Villages and Gainesville likely would be attracted to the games.
Councilman John McLeod, also likes the idea of having the Yankees in Ocala.
"From the entertainment, from the jobs creation, the number one sporting franchise in the world — I think it brings another notch in Ocala's belt for quality of life and entertainment."
But he said he does not know if the city can make it all come together.
"That's a moving target still," McLeod said.
Asked if it will be something the community can afford, McLeod said, "That will be up to the citizens at some point. Their input is going to be big in this. That's why we are rolling it out next week, to get citizens' input and the County Commission input."
He said it looks to him that it is heading to the voters.
"I don't think it's any big secret that it's probably going to have to go to some type of referendum at some point," McLeod said. "At some point the (Marion) County Commission has to decide whether they want to do that or not do that."
The commission is the body that decides what questions may be placed on the ballot for the voters to decide.
"That stadium could be used for multiple things, not just minor league baseball," McLeod said.
As far as jobs go, he said there would be about 700 temporary jobs and 300 permanent ones, not including service jobs.
Asked about the salaries, he said, some would be high and some low.
"These players will be living in the community while they are here. Other teams come into town," he said.
The visiting teams, he said, likely would stay overnight in hotels and eat in restaurants and shop in local stores.
"The economic opportunities are probably a little larger than first meets the eye," McLeod said.
If the Yankees want to move their minor league team to Ocala from Tampa it would have to be approved by the Florida State League, Minor League Baseball and Major League Baseball. If other minor league teams would find Ocala too far away and too expensive to travel to and to stay overnight, they could oppose any move.
"This is further, but, then, it's right up I-75," McLeod said about Ocala. "It's not off the beaten path."
But there still is work be done before the ink dries on any agreement.
"We are further along with our negotiations with the team. We brought it this far, but to actually cross the finish line — there's a lot more to do," McLeod said.
Councilman Jay Musleh said he wanted to have the meeting on Tuesday before he comments.
"All things considered, of course, it would be good for Ocala," Musleh said about the Yankees. "What is the price tag going to be? Is it affordable? I have to hear what our plans are to finance it and how we are going to make it happen."
Councilwoman Suzy Heinbockel said she has not seen the agreement.
"My update will be on Tuesday," she said.
But she likes the idea of having the Yankees in Ocala.
"It would be exciting, wouldn't it, to have a minor league baseball team in Ocala?" she asked.
"But the devil is in the details. I don't know what those details are at this point."
