OBU group to lead worship at Immanuel Baptist Church in Shawnee.
Oklahoma Baptist University's praise ensemble, David's Creed, will lead worship at Immanuel Baptist Church in Shawnee on Sunday, May 12, during the 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. worship services. The community is invited to attend.
Immanuel Baptist Church is located at 1451 E. 45th St., Shawnee.
David's Creed takes a contemporary approach to leading worship. The band mixes contemporary music with traditional hymns. The repertoire allows the group to minister in churches with different styles of musical preference.
The auditioned praise ensemble was started by the OBU Division of Music in spring 2007. Its primary purpose is to connect OBU with the churches in Oklahoma and the surrounding region by serving those churches in worship through music, testimony and God's Word.
For 2012-13, David's Creed includes OBU students Sammy Andrews, Karlie Clifford, Tabitha Gordon, Jason McPhail, Josh Michael, Taylor Miller, Nick Simmons, Sarah Stephens and Ethan Workman.
The band is directed by Dr. Casey Gerber, assistant professor of music education and coordinator of vocal music education at OBU. Gerber teaches methods courses, supervises student teachers and conducts the Young Singers of Central Oklahoma in the OBU Preparatory Program.
For more information about David's Creed, contact the OBU Division of Music at (405) 585-4301.

The Rock and Roll Wall is a visual who's who: Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger, Jerry Garcia, Taylor Swift — OK, she's not rock 'n' roll, but neither is Luciano Pavarotti, who's also on display. Maybe the most emotion-packed photo is one of a wild-eyed Mick Fleetwood pounding the drums. You can almost feel the ringing in your ears.
Among Ghavameddini's favorite subjects is KISS.
"I love to photograph them," he said. "They give you so much love, so much respect. They pose for you one by one."
So it's no surprise that Gene Simmons and company are amply represented at Essy's Studio.
This is not an exclusively concert-photography gallery. Ghava-meddini devotes another wall to La Jolla's beaches (particularly Windansea) and sunsets, another to thoroughbreds in full stride at Del Mar, another to the four Super Bowls he's covered and to San Diego sports heroes, including Junior Seau and the San Diego Sockers that from the early 1980s through the early '90s dominated indoor soccer. Shooting high-energy, fast-moving sports — Ghavameddini eschews slow-moving baseball and golf — is another of his passions.
"I'm an action photographer," he said. "You never know what you'll get."
Ghavameddini's gallery, a split-level space that includes a photography studio upstairs, is his first such showcase.
"It's time for me to show my work," he said, adding that he will offer images for sale on site. While he will have a couple of assistants, he said, "I'm a one-man show here. I call my place a museum of my 31 years of work."
The color rock 'n' roll photos, which announce their presence the moment you walk into the gallery, are the most compelling and, with apologies to football and sunset devotees, the most fan-friendly. Like the music itself, they exude personality and commitment.
How does Ghavameddini achieve that? Waiting for the right moment, he said, plus a rapport with the rockers from the shadows.
"I have a conversation with them with my camera," he said.
Essy's Studio is located at 8008 Girard Ave., Suite 190. For more information, visit www.essys studio.com.

The suffering of children is often overlooked when adults discuss the havoc wrought by Hurricane Sandy. While there is justifiable focus on rebuilding homes, replacing cars, getting hospitals back in service, restoring businesses and fixing roads and utilities — even on designing new boardwalks — less attention is paid to the catastrophic impact Sandy had, and continues to have, on our schools.
Several school districts in our area are faced with the tremendous task of rebuilding schools and district infrastructure, replacing equipment and restoring the educational environment students and teachers depend on. Many repairs have already been completed, but paying for the work is still a critical issue.
We think Albany has a responsibility to help, and has the federal funds to do it.
Lawrence High School was the most heavily damaged of that district's five schools. Flooding from Sandy created two sink holes, left the auditorium a huge mess and wreaked havoc with the electrical system. The high school has been closed since Jan. 15, and its students, teachers and administrators were relocated to the middle school. As a result, the district's fifth- and sixth-graders had to be moved to two district elementary schools.
In the Long Beach district, the high school gym was severely damaged, and there was widespread flooding in the middle school and Lido Elementary. Lindell Elementary took on water as well, and East Elementary's gym floor needed major repairs. The flooding in West Elementary was up to four feet deep, while the administration building and Blackheath Pre-K are beyond repair and will be condemned.
In Oceanside, there was millions of dollars' worth of damage, with elementary schools 4, 8 and 9E, and the middle school, 9M, hit hard. Most musical instruments were lost, many interactive whiteboards needed to be replaced, and textbooks and library materials were wiped out. The boiler in School 8 was destroyed, and there were damaged walls and floors everywhere.
In Island Park, the situation was even worse. Both schools lost their boilers, the gym in the Lincoln Orens Middle School was destroyed and the damage to the cafeteria, auditorium and chorus rooms was extensive. The Francis X. Hegarty School most likely will not reopen this year. The district lost all of its musical instruments, and its offices had to be moved to a BOCES building.
Few of the buildings in the East Rockaway School District escaped without severe damage. The high school was flooded, and saltwater all but destroyed the boiler and the electrical system. A sink hole opened behind the high school's new addition, ruining an electrical transformer. The Rhame Avenue School sustained first-floor flooding and it, too, lost its boilers. Its gym floor and classroom tile floors needed replacement.
Other districts experienced similar, truly once-in-a-lifetime losses.
Paying for all of the restoration work is something the children, obviously, have no control over. Unfortunately, the school administrations and Boards of Education can't do much, either, without financial help.
Money from insurance policies, and from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, will be available at some point to fund part of the recovery. But it's likely that property owners in the most damaged districts will be called on to pay for what loans and other sources of funds don't cover. Districts with the worst damage are in communities where homes and businesses suffered the heaviest losses as well.
So many schoolchildren in these districts experienced the trauma of being evacuated from their homes, living in motels or with relatives far from their friends, losing their precious possessions and, in some cases, learning that they could never return to the houses in which they grew up. It is unfair to expect their parents and other residents to suffer even more by paying higher taxes to repair their schools.
These districts are faced with extraordinary expenditures that no reserve fund could ever be expected to cover. Reserves are rainy-day funds, not 100-year-storm funds. We believe that the state — which is quick to burden districts with mandates but slow to offer them the aid to help pay for those mandates — has a responsibility to earmark some of the federal Sandy relief funds it will control for the recovery of the hardest-hit school districts on Long Island.

In response to Judy Brenholt:
1. Black powder firearms were available when the Second Amendment was drafted. Taking your question to its logical conclusion suggests only 18th century firearms should be covered by the 2nd Amendment. That would leave law abiding citizens with 18th century weapons facing criminals with modern firearms.
2. You define an "assault" rifle as one "capable of firing untold number of bullets per second,", which is a machine gun. They are already illegal for anyone not having a special license. I have yet to see where one has been used in any of these horrific crimes. All rifles are designed to kill, not just "assault" rifles (whatever your definition). Because all guns are designed to kill, not just "assault rifles, we'd have to outlaw all guns. Then law abiding citizens would be unarmed facing armed criminals.
3. Are "untold" capacity magazines designed to kill human beings?: No, they're designed to hold ammunition for the firearm. I've never heard anyone that had to defend themselves say they had too much ammunition. Might you miss or might there be several bad guys? If you had to defend your grandchild, how much ammunition would be too much?
4. Why do we have armor piercing bullets?: To pierce armor, not for hunting or typical self defense. Hunting bullets, and those specifically designed for self defense, are much more lethal than armor piercing bullets. Hunters, and those buying for self defense, don't use them for those purposes. And mass murderers don't use them, either.
5. Yes, the Colorado and Connecticut tragedies increased the profits of gun manufacturers. However, I don't understand how reducing their profits will reduce these tragedies. If that were the case, we could prohibit gun manufacturers making a profit and that would stop all mass killings. But, it wouldn't.
6. The NRA leadership is focused on the rights of the American people to legally bear arms. The words "American people" include all of us who can legally possess firearms, not just its 4.3 million members. The NRA supports severe penalties for those that possess guns illegally.

Earth : Europe : Turkey : Aegean Turkey : Central Aegean : Izmir
Izmir is a rapidly growing city on the Central Aegean coast of Turkey.
İzmir is the third largest city in Turkey with a population of around 3.7 million, the second biggest port after Istanbul, and a very good transport hub. Once the ancient city of Smyrna, it is now a modern, developed, and busy commercial center, set around a huge bay and surrounded by mountains. The broad boulevards, glass-fronted buildings and modern shopping centers are dotted with traditional red-tiled roofs, the 18th century market, and old mosques and churches, although the city has an atmosphere more of Mediterranean Europe than traditional Turkey.
The history of Izmir stretches back to around 3000 BC when the Trojans founded the city in Tepekule in the northern suburb of Bayrakli. This was the birthplace of Homer, who was thought to have lived here around the 8th century BC. The Aeolians, the first Greek settlers, were eventually taken over by their Greek rivals the Ionians. The Ionians were followed by the Lydians who destroyed the city around 600BC before a brief recovery following Alexander the Great's arrival in 334 BC.
After his death, Alexander's generals followed his wishes and re-established Smyrna on Mount Pagos in Kadifekale, and the city then prospered under the Romans. It was destroyed by an earthquake in 178 AD but later reconstructed and became a major commercial port during the Byzantine Empire. After the Byzantines, the city had a turbulent time under the Arabs, Seljuks, Crusaders and Mongols, until Mehmet I incorporated it into the Ottoman Empire in 1415. Under Suleyman the Magnificent, Smyrna became a thriving and sophisticated city and a huge trading center, despite its frequent earthquakes. It was a cosmopolitan city , with a Greek Orthodox majority along with Armenians, Jews and Muslims. Numerous languages could be heard in the streets, spoken by locals and visiting traders.
Following World War I and the defeat of the Ottoman Empire, and on the basis of the majority Greek population in the area, Greece was granted a mandate over Izmir from the Allies. Athens took control over the whole of the Aegean region.
Rising tensions led the outbreak of war as the Greeks purshed further into the heart of Anatolia in an attempt to unite the Greek communities of Asia Minor. Led by Kemal Ataturk the Turkish army launched a counter-attack and seized the city. Soon thereafter 70% of the city burned to the ground by the Turkish forces. The 'Great Fire' ended multinational authority of the city and the Greek and Armenian populations were expelled.
Ataturk formally took Izmir on 9 September 1922, which is celebrated as the day of the city's liberation.
Dry and sunny summers in Izmir are so infernally hot and sticky that, unless there is an air-con in your room, you will most likely have trouble falling asleep at least on your first night, no matter whether the windows are wide open or not. However, a mild breeze coming in ashore from the sea (locally called meltem) may refreshen the evenings, at least in locations close to the waterfront. Temperature can drop down to freezing point (0°C/32°F) in mostly windy and rainy winters, however snowfall is some sort of curiousness in these latitudes, which happens once or at most twice a decade, if at all.
Get in
By train
Izmir has two railway stations: Basmane in the city center serves regional trains and the Metro, and Alsancak in the north serves intercity trains and the IZBAN.
The main intercity services include: Ankara (Mavi Tren is the fastest at 14 hours), Denizli (3 express trains daily, 5-6 hours) and Isparta (9 hours). Trains for Istanbul connect with a ferry at Bandirma.
Basmane station is linked by metro (which has a seperate station than the train one) to Konak in the west and to Bornova in the east.
By boat
The weekend ferry from Izmir to Istanbul has been suspended (2009), one or two weekly ferries between Izmir and Venice (67 hours). All ferries dock at the Alsancak Ferry Terminal, 2km north of the city center.
By plane
Adnan Menderes Airport (IATA: ADB, ICAO: LTBJ), 16 km south of the city center, has several daily flights to Istanbul, Ankara, and Antalya. There are also regular flights from many European cities.
Iz Air [6] is a local carrier operating out of Adnan Menderes and offers many domestic connections.
From the airport, you have three public transport options into the city:
a private taxi transfer to airport for outer cities
By bus
The bus station, or otogar, is 6km north east of town although there are plenty of dolmuş that make the journey there from the centre. The bus station is huge and has an internet cafe, plenty of facilities for food and drink and a large number of agencies selling tickets for coaches which, if departing imminently, they will be shouting out the destinations of. It also has pay toilets.
Buses to Istanbul take 9 hours (including a brief trip on a ferry) and travellers are provided with water, hot drinks, snacks and regular stops for toilets and food all for free on the better services for fares around 50TL per person one way.
Get around
Due to the Great Fire of 1920s, there is a relative lack of historical sights in Izmir, especially when considered how old the city really is (more than 5000 years old).
You can go to Konak Pier, a small mall along the Kordon with a cinema and with local and other known brands. Another mall is called Forum, in Bornova. Forum is a very big mall with all brands and a supermarket in a Mediterreanean style one floored houses in open air. Kemeraltı (in the city center) offers great deal of souveniers in a nice traditional athmosphere.
BOLCOVA SHOPPING COMPLEXES may be the most modern shopping and entertainment where in European Style.Besides prices are reasanable.
Join the nightlife on Kıbrıs Şehitleri Caddesi in Alsancak, and go find the Gazi Kadinlar Street. Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are when the street is liveliest.
In Izmir there are many hotels 5 minutes walk from the railway station to suit all tastes and wallets. Hilton is very close to city center in Alsancak, and Swissotel is opened this year which is also located in Alsancak. Also there is Crowne Plaza, which is about 30 min. from center.
Stay safe
Izmir Police Department has a "tourism police" section where travellers can report passport loss and theft or any other criminal activity, they may have become victims of. The staff is multilingual and will speak English, German, French, and Arabic.

During Bill Clinton�s re-election bid in 1996, whenever someone would tell me they intended to vote for him, I would somewhat sardonically reply, �Why would you want to vote for him? Don�t you know that you�re really going to be voting for someone who will just be impeached anyway?�
I wasn�t privy to any secret plans or inside information, and regular readers of this column know that I have no special predictive powers, and I can assure you that I certainly didn�t have any in 1996. Rather, I�d merely lived through Clinton�s first term and watched with disgust as the burgeoning scandals, graft and corruption seemed to sprout from him and his administration like rancid cauliflower, and I just knew that, one way or another, he was bound to disgrace himself and his nation and find himself facing articles of impeachment.
Given Clinton�s fabled dishonesty and unchastity, I was only saddened, and not at all surprised, that the crime that resulted in his impeachment would turn out to be perjury regarding an adulterous liaison with one of his interns.
Recent troubling events in Washington, D.C., have evoked in me these memories of the Clinton years. It�s not at all that I believe or expect President Barack Obama to be impeached. On the contrary, as I�ve noted before, although I think Obama has committed high crimes and misdemeanors (e.g., his non-recess recess appointments, to cite what I think is the clearest instance), impeachment is a political impossibility as long as the Senate remains in Democratic hands. Obama certainly will never be impeached.
However, just as I expected a second Clinton term to be disastrous, I also expected, and still expect, Obama�s second term to be disastrous. I �know� this the same way I �knew� Clinton would be impeached � by living through and paying attention to his actions and the actions of his administration during his first term.
What we know from Obama�s first term is that he does not enjoy legislative negotiations and compromise, but rather has a �to the victor belongs the spoils� mentality and prefers to dictate terms and impose his agenda. That�s how we got ObamaCare and the approaching �fiscal cliff.� Those are two big messes from his first term that are about to get a whole lot messier in his second term.
Rather than improving the quality of health care, �Obamacare�s� taxes and regulations will result in higher health care costs, less freedom for patients and doctors to make health care decisions, more assaults on freedom of conscience, longer wait times to see a doctor, tons more paperwork for doctors, a doctor shortage, and millions of workers losing their employer-provided health insurance and getting moved from full-time to part-time by employers who can�t afford to insure their employees. It will also mean higher deficits, because no government can ever have enough money to pay for �universal health care.�
As for the fiscal cliff, I suspect that Congress and the White House will again slap together some temporary measures that will avert the worst consequences of the automatic tax increases and so-called spending cuts set to take effect Jan. 1. Whatever deal is arranged, however, it won�t be enough to put a stop to the $1 trillion-a-year deficits. Drastic reforms to government programs and entitlements are mandatory, but they are just as politically impossible as Obama�s impeachment. So we can expect higher taxes � on everyone, not just on the �rich,� because taxing just the rich would only generate enough revenue to cover 10 percent of one year of an Obama deficit � and we can expect the economy to crash, just as Europe has already sunk back into recession.
I would dearly love to be proved wrong on that, but I can�t see how the flock of flibbertygibbets currently running D.C. could muster the imagination and the political skill and fortitude to do what is necessary.
Things aren�t very auspicious on the foreign policy front either: Syria�s civil war, Iran likely to acquire nukes, a war developing between Israel and the Palestinian terrorists who run Gaza. In addition, the investigation of the 9/11/12 Benghazi debacle may well result in Obama�s equivalent of the Iran-Contra scandal that clouded President Ronald Reagan�s second term, as Congress seeks ever-elusive truthful answers from the Obama administration about what our ambassador and the CIA were doing in Benghazi.
No, I�m afraid neither Obama nor we are going to enjoy the next four years.

Jared Olar: The next four years will not be fun

Carter records 1,000 deer for DNR
One local dairy farmer in Pewamo was honored by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for his assistance in reporting deer affected by epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD).
John Carter received the Partners in Conservation Award at Thursday's meeting of the Natural Resources Commission in Lansing.
"I was really surprised and it's quite humbling," said Carter, an avid hunter. "I just kind of volunteered and I was just trying to help out."
He said he was aware of EHD from friends in Canada who experienced the disease, but became personally involved when he found about 50 dead deer on the property he has managed for almost 20 years. Many of those deer, he said, were large bucks.
Chad Fedewa, a wildlife biologist at the DNR Flat River Field Office in Belding, said members of the DNR reached out to citizens to try to collect more data.
"Once we realized the extent of the die-offs, we realized we couldn't keep up with it on our own," said Fedewa.
Once he pledged to help, Carter said he distributed his phone number with local residents and cooperative managers, took calls at home, shared information with callers and recorded cases of dead deer using DNR data sheets. He also did what he could to educate others about EHD. His wife, Kelly, also assisted in the process with making additional calls and organizing data, he added.
"It was very hard to keep up with everyone at first. I was kind of bombarded," Carter said, adding many hunters were upset about the findings of dead deer.
He said once his work was done, he estimates he spoke with more than 200 people and recorded more than 1,000 deer that succumbed to the disease.
"It was extremely helpful to have a local contact," Fedewa said, adding the DNR may not have had as many reports collected without Carter's assistance. "It's a well-deserved award."
Though the task was not easy, Carter said he learned a lot through the experience and that he would do it all over.
"I've met a lot of really nice officers," he added. "I was really honored by everything they've said."
He said although the EHD outbreak was extremely harmful for the deer herds in Ionia County, he said he believes the relationships between the cooperatives, citizens and the DNR have become stronger.

text: FISHONLY fish with fins and scales are kosher. Fresh fish must be recognisable as being of a kosher species. Jewish law therefore forbids the use of fillets which do not have the scaled skin attached and are not recognisable as being from a kosher species unless a Rabbinic supervisor is present or the customer supervises the filleting of such fish. The supervisor should ensure that the knives and boards used are thoroughly clean before cutting commences. Should there be any doubt as to whether the fillets or cutlets have been cut with a clean knife, then the fish must be thoroughly washed in cold water before use. It is forbidden to purchase minced fish which has not been minced under the supervision of a Rabbinic supervisor.

Bulldogs drop MIAA opener at Calvin
With 24 seconds remaining in Thursday night's game, Calvin College men's basketball coach Kevin Vande Streek exhorted his team to "make one more stop, one more stop."
The Knights did just that, defensively preventing unbeaten Adrian from getting any quality attempts in the closing seconds.
The Bulldogs, ranked No. 7 in Division III, did get three shots, but none of them found the mark. The Knights prevailed 56-50 in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association opener for both teams.
"They are so good defensively, and it's so hard to score against them, but we finally found a way to eke in a couple of baskets," Calvin coach Kevin Vande Streek said. "It's nice to have the lead when you get down to the last three or four minutes."
Calvin (10-2, 1-0 MIAA) got the lead for good with an 8-0 run early in the second half that turned a two-point deficit into a 35-29 lead as Vande Streek improved to 16-1 in MIAA openers.
Adrian (11-1, 0-1) got close on a couple of occasions, but Calvin retained the lead the rest of the way to improve to 10-2 for the season.
Tyler Kruis, who scored 14 points to share scoring honors for Calvin with Bryan Powell, converted a three-point play with 7 minutes, 20 seconds remaining, bumping Calvin's lead to 45-40.
"I think we just wanted it," Kruis said. "We were 9-2, and we wanted to prove ourselves. Adrian was (undefeated). We wanted to play a good game and beat them on our court."
Kruis also knocked down two free throws at the end of the first half to send the teams into the locker rooms tied at 25-25.
"I was not hitting any of my shots (1 for 7 at halftime), and I was kind of frustrated, but those two free throws helped me get my confidence back," Kruis said. "I think it was big for the team, too, going in at halftime tied instead of down by two."
While Kruis was finding his shot — 3-for-6 in the second half and 4-for-4 from the line — his teammates were finding Tom Snikkers, the senior captain who finished with 12 points, eight rebounds and three assists.
Eric Lewis had 17 points for Adrian and Cody Barnes added 12 points, but the Bulldogs got little help from their bench. Only eight players saw action, and the bench contributed just seven points.
"Defensively, they took away a lot of the things that we like to do," Adrian coach Mark White said. "We didn't get into a rhythm offensively, and we shot terribly (20-of-51, 39 percent), but their defense had a lot to do with that.
"Calvin has a lot of depth and a lot of experience, and they're playing at home. Our kids made a great effort but we didn't have it offensively today."

Sardine, Pacific (Iwashi) – U.S. and Canada, Purse Seine
Sardines reproduce rapidly, but their populations depend on favorable ocean conditions, which have natural variability. They are important food for many fish, seabirds and marine mammals.
Pacific sardines are fished with purse seines. This type of fishing gear does not make contact with the ocean floor in this fishery, and so there are low concerns about habitat impacts. This type of gear is also an efficient way to catch schooling fish, such as sardines, with minimal bycatch of other species.

the Witching hour
Posted 09 September 2006 - 06:43 AM

In European folklore, the witching hour is the time when supernatural creatures such as witches, demons and ghosts are thought to be at their most powerful, and black magic at its most effective. This hour is typically midnight, and the term may now be used to refer to midnight, or any late hour, even without having the associated superstitious beliefs.
In neopaganism, it is sometimes used to refer solely to midnights occurring during a full moon, when a witch's power is supposedly at its greatest.

yeah, after seeing the movie, "The Exorcsim of Emily Rose" , if you have seen that movie, they emphasize that 3am is the witching hour, and that movie really scared me..LOL since it was based on a true story. For months after i watched that movie i couldn't sleep and when 3am came I got scared. lol also, in the Amityville movies, and the Amityville case, allegedly, I think George Lutz claimed, on one of the incidents that in the house around 3am is when the flies would appear in one of the rooms. But i do think its probably just a myth and folklore. I agree with Sarah, I don't think there is a specific time where spirits decide to reveal themselves..lol
I've seen and heard spirits in the mornings (like 6:00 am) and seeing a spirit at 11 something. No I don't believe in the 3:00 belief system.
Posted 17 October 2006 - 07:24 AM
I heard somewhere that 3 am is the witching hour, where most spooks come out. Is this a myth or something? Can someone expound on this?
I just think that ghosts (I don't know about other paranormal creatures) like it quiet, for the most part. Too many noisy human activities and they seem to shy away. When is it more quiet than at 3am?
In my nabe, the joint's still jumpin' at midnight. At 4am the bars close and let out their noisy, drunk clientele; 3am is just right. If the shadow people are going to show up on the street, or inside, for that matter, that's when they'll start to show.
I work in a nursing home. A resident who lived on the top most floor died one night. I encountered what I believe was his spirit, one day, not on the unit that he lived but by the door that let out to the roof. This area was just a short stairway from his unit but was a quiet area.
Posted 17 October 2006 - 01:46 PM
When I saw the Warren's give a lecture (the ghost hunters) They said that 12 mid was the witching hour and that 3 am the devils hour.
I was like, "great", now I am going to be afraid to wake up at certain times......thank you!
My thoughts on this are: Midnight is the hour... see spirits dont come out a lot during the day because the the energy of the day with all its activity is very thick and heavey. everyone is rushy but at night the energy gets thinner people are rested and relxed and this ables the spirits to come out more.
they tell by the thickness of the energy because actually the other side ,, good or bad has no concept of time

Turin[3] (Italian: Torino), a large city of about one million inhabitants, is set in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy, a one-hour drive from the French border and slightly more than that from the Mediterranean sea. It's famous for being the home of Italy's royal family. Today, Turin, with its fine, aristocratic atmosphere, old world sophisticated shops, grand boulevards and palaces, leafy parks, and several art galleries, is an increasingly popular tourist resort. The 2006 Winter Olympics, and its status recently as World Book Capital have promoted tourists to visit this beautiful and underestimated Italian city, with a lot of culture and artsy stuff.
Turin was the first capital of modern Italy, and was the host of the 2006 Winter Olympic Games. While it's not a famous tourist destination like Florence or Rome, the setting is pleasant, with the Po River flowing through the city, the genteel hills overlooking the city and scattered with pleasant villas and surrounded by the Italian Alps off in the distance. This is why the famous architect Le Corbusier defined Turin as "the city with the most beautiful natural location in the world".
Turin is an important city of technology and industry, and the FIAT automobile company is based here. (The 'T' in the name stands for Torino). It was also the birthplace to many important cultural and political movements in Italy.
Turin inhabitants are well known across Italy for their understatement and composure and the city reflects this attitude.
Many people consider Torino the European capital of Baroque: many palaces and churches were built in this style during the kingdom of the Savoia. It isn't the typical Italian city, with red and yellow buildings: is a bit more French, so much that is also called "the little Paris"; wide boulevards with white buildings make the city center more similar to Paris. Around the city, a crown of churches and castles, some up on a hilltop, some lost in a park, provide plenty of interesting views. Turin also has an aristocratic atmosphere - the centre is filled with posh 19th century cafes, regal-like arcaded mansions, debonair glittering restaurants, and grand churches.
Turin is home to the famous Shroud of Turin. More recently, it has become the home of the Slow Food Movement.
Get in
By plane
Turin's international airport is placed 15 km north of the city and is named after Italy's former President Sandro Pertini. It is located in the town of Caselle, connected to Turin city by a convenient motorway. The main carriers to reach Torino from abroad are Lufthansa, Air France and Alitalia if flying from Rome or Naples [4], Italy's flagship airline, which operates flight from some European and Italian cities. Caselle is also a destination for some low fares airlines, for example Ryanair and Easyjet. The airport is connected to the city by train (to the station of Porta Dora, which is useless. Arriving at the Porta Dora really is like arriving in the middle of nowhere.), bus (with a regional bus service, which is long) and taxi (30 euro one way to city centre at December 2010).
The SADEM bus service runs every 30-40 minutes from the airport to Torino's Porta Nuova train station. It costs approximately 5 euros, and tickets may be purchased at a ticket kiosk inside the airport terminal. The voyage from the airport to the center of the city takes approximately 40 minutes.
Turin is also reached from Malpensa airport, which may be cheaper to fly to. There is a bus service running five times daily between the city and the airport [5]. The ride lasts 2 hours and costs 18 Euros (as of April 13th, 2007).
By train
Turin has three main railway stations, Porta Nuova, Porta Susa and Lingotto FS.
Generally speaking, Porta Nuova and Porta Susa are stations dedicated to mid-range and long-range trains. Porta Susa (under renovation) serves trains to all northern regions of Italy (Milan, Venice, Aosta, and also Paris), while Porta Nuova serves expecially trains to the south (Genoa, Florence, Rome, Bologna). You'd better check in advance where you need to go. Many trains also stops in both stations. All trains coming from/going to the south of Turin, depart from Porta Nuova via Lingotto FS.
All stations are managed by Trenitalia [6], the Italian state railways.
By car
By bus
There are many buses from Milan, milan airports, Lyon, Genoa. Check the internet
Get around
By public transportation
Turin has an efficient system of city connections with buses and trams managed by GTT [7]. Currently, the first driverless, ultra-modern underground line was opened for the Olympics in 2006. Both urban and suburban areas are served by an efficient network. Buses and trams cross the city from morning to late at night.
The hard part of bus travel is remembering you must buy your ticket before you get on the bus. All tabaccherie (tobacconists) sell bus tickets as do some bars and various ticket offices at stations.
There's possibly a bewildering array of tickets from singles to annual season tickets. Generally the longer the ticket the greater the saving but for many season tickets of one week or more you'll need a separate card with photo ID which costs very little and can usually be issued on the spot by the ticket issuer. It's not necessary for single tickets or, in Turin, weekly town tickets.
You may run into ticket inspectors any time, everywhere, even on night buses, but they are most of the time easily recognizable. Most of them do not speak English and some of them may behave rude. Be sure take your ticket/pass on you and validate it before the first stop after you get on the bus. Once you are caught, you may pay a certian amount of fee about 25euro right on the bus. If you pay later, this amout may increase to 36 euro. If you forgot to take your pass/valid ticket with you, you may tell the inspectors your situation and get a fine ticket of 10 euro. Then you go the GTT office with your fine ticket and your pass/valid ticket and pay. Some says if you are not italian, the fee will not reach you.
But which bus?
That's a good question. Comprehensive bus maps are somewhat rarer than hen's teeth in Turin. Supposedly it's an integrated transport system for buses, trains, coaches and trams. Certainly trams and buses are one and the same.
You're pretty safe in Turin with every bus or tram. The stops are clearly marked with yellow signs and maps of the city and public lines. If it seems a very long list your stop will be highlighted in grey and buses go from the bottom to top direction. If it seems a rather short list with just the highlights you probably see an arrow pointing down on the left of the sign, showing stops go from top to bottom. It takes a bit of getting used to! vSome of the more modern and popular trams and buses have onboard indicators and announcements of the forthcoming stops. But don't bank on it.
All buses are divided into urban and suburban. In Turin the urban tickets allow you to hop on and off of as many town buses as you like within and hour of validating your ticket. Suburban tickets cost a little more (valid for 70 minutes) and can get you anywhere up to 20km on some routes. They are also valid for trains within the same area. There's a bit of confusing overlap with some areas appearing to be both urban and suburban. If in doubt buy the suburban ticket, it's a lot cheaper than a fine.
You can also buy your tickets in a 'blocchetto' of 10 which works out a reasonable amount cheaper. There are daily tickets for town travel as well as various weekly and monthly combinations.
Blue is the color
Things get a little more complicated when you need to go further afield on the bus. Each town, district or region seems to have its own bus service. Generally in Turin there is a healthy selection of blue buses run by SADEM and other companies which tend to go further afield.
If possible still try to buy your ticket before you get on the bus, although vendors are not as numerous. Generally look around for the nearest tobacconist, cafe or news stand.
It should also be possible to buy your ticket on the bus, but this will cost up to 60 cents more and you may get a certain amount of abuse from driver who plainly is not on a percentage.
This also applies to the blue buses between Porta Nuova and Turin airport. There's a kiosk and two vending machines (usually out of action) at the airport and cafes near the terminal in Turin where you can buy tickets for five euro. In theory the bus driver should be able to sell you a ticket but don't bank on it.
By bicycle
The City of Turin has recently completed a network of bicycle paths throughout the city. However, a lot still has to be done, and cycling outside the paths (and sometimes even on them) can be quite tricky. From 2010 is active a service of bike-sharing all across the city center. ToBike is the name of the company that provides the service. It's very difficult to find the way to have a ticket if you are not resident.
By car
Car Rentals If you would like to rent a car, you can find all the main car hire companies at Turin Airport. Car rentals companies are grouped together immediately in front of the Domestic Arrivals, Ground Floor-Level Zero.
By taxi
Taxis in Torino start the meter the moment your call is received. It is not customary to hail a taxi on the street.
Turin's main attractions include important baroque palaces and churches, a regular and attractive street grid, an extensive network of arcades, famous coffeeshops and a number of world-renowned museums.
The University of Turin (Università degli Studi di Torino), main campus is located just off Via Po, [14]. Is a public university with all the main faculties, located in Turin that was founded in the 16th Century. Also well known is the Politecnico di Torino, a university of engineering and architecture. The Politecnico has multiple campuses, including one in Castello di Valentino (in Parco Valentino) and two outside the city center, one on Corso Francia,the other is in the Lingotto for automotive engineering where once a Fiat factory lied; their main campus is on Corso Duca degli Abruzzi.
Turin is not the best Italian city for shopping fashion brand, although there are plenty of small and expensive brand shops. It's a great spot for buying food and wines.
Turin is probably the most free-water town in the world. You can find public fountains really EVERYWHERE, from the center to the suburbs, that provides you free public water. And thanks to the near mountains, Turin public water is really good.
Where before there were boatsheds, you will find many modern bars and nightclubs by the river Po at the Murazzi close to the bridge Ponte Vittorio Emanuele. Closer to the historical center, there are many charming old-world cafes.
"The Grand Hotel Sitea." Via Carlo Alberto 35. Within easy walking distance of the Piazza San Carlo. Decent restaurant, unfailingly polite and helpful staff. Rooms well appointed, and well serviced.
Stay safe
Generally Turin can be considered a safe city. Be aware that the Porta Nuova area (train station) can be pretty dangerous in its east side, not only at night (watch out for pickpockets). This especially applies to the San Salvario neighbourhoods, which lies between the station and Parco Valentino. Be very careful especially with your luggage and backpacks.
Also the areas near Porta Palazzo can be dangerous, especially in the smaller streets.
Get out
Turin is home to two football clubs , Juventus and Torino , playing in Serie A and B respectively. Juventus are the most successful club side in Italian domestic football and have won the UEFA Champions League twice in their history , while Torino also have a proud history. They both play at the Olympic stadium constructed for the 2006 winter games.

Bachelor Gulch Village has a long, rich history named fondly after a few lonely bachelors who settled in this little pristine and secluded valley in the early 1900's. This exclusive gated community is part of Beaver Creek Mountain, located on the adjoining ridge and part of the village-to-village ski experience between Beaver Creek Resort, Bachelor Gulch and Arrowhead. It is the only residential ski neighborhood entirely on-mountain in the Vail Valley. As a Bachelor Gulch Village homeowner, you can sit back and take in the panoramic views of the Gore Range to the east all the way to Castle Peak in the west. Once you pass through the private gates, you can admire the picturesque parkitecture, which the resort is known for, with rustic native stone, seasoned timbers and massive logs modeled after the iconic lodges found in national parks like Yosemite and Yellowstone. Visit The Ritz-Carlton®, the keystone of the resort, to experience fine dining at Spago, Wolfgang Puck's Colorado outpost, or pamper yourself at their outstanding newly renovated spa. This prestigious on-mountain community is for those who wish to live life luxuriously and appreciate what the early settlers understood over a century ago about this special place now called Bachelor Gulch Village.

Shabby Chic Inspirations and Beautiful Spaces
By Rachel Ashwell
(Ryland, Peters and Small)
192 pages, $39.95
In this, her seventh book, the 51-year-old British-born Ashwell has all but cemented her status as the queen of "leftover loveliness."
A former stylist before moving to the U.S. and opening a décor shop in Santa Monica in 1989, Ashwell has an innate affinity for repurposing the old into something new, and seamlessly integrating the distressed vintage look in furniture and accessories into a modern tableau.
That not only gave birth to the shabby chic phenomenon, but turned flea markets all over the globe into much-scoured sources of time-worn elegance.
It was Ashwell who hung crystal chandeliers in bathrooms and favoured white on white, Ashwell who turned mismatched dining room chairs into a whimsical choice for adventurous homeowners and Ashwell who launched a line of popular bed linens that provided a fresh, and hugely popular, take on old-school chintz.
And while Shabby Chic Inspirations doesn't stray far from Ashwell's previous books - in that it's a pretty, lush photo gallery of her own Malibu beach house and Texas ranch, as well as a tour of "shabby chic'ed" homes all over the world, from a shack in the Catskills to a London houseboat to Sharon Osbourne's Los Angeles home - there's a reason her brand has become an international empire. Today, it includes four stores, a television series and a bed and breakfast.
Ashwell simply has the knack for making a house a home, for creating effortlessly stylish livable spaces that sacrifice neither comfort nor beauty. Or, as she calls her cosy, clean interior design esthetic, "visual poems."

A Wild One at Wrigley
Wow, what an exciting game today! It reminded me of the playoffs last year – when the Cards had a "never say die" attitude. They just kept coming back today and eked out the victory. It sure feels good to actually win a series at Wrigley for a change.
Almost everyone contributed on offense today, which was necessary since Wainwright gave up 7 runs (can't totally blame him though…the wind was not his friend). It was great to see Edmonds get his first homer. Kennedy ripped a double that brought in 2 runs. Duncan hit a homer. Pujols hit the game-winning 3 run homer in the 10th. But I'd have to give star of the game honors to Scott Rolen who went 5 for 6, a new career best for him.
The Cards handed the ball to Izzy with a 2-run lead in the 9th, but he allowed the Cubs to tie the game. I won't sound the alarm bells on Izzy for that one – the Cubs scored those runs on a crazy pop up that appeared to be foul then drifted back into play and just out of reach of several Wilson, Miles, and Pujols who were all giving chase.
The Cubs broadcasters pointed out something curious: The Cards have scored 10 runs or more for the 3rd consecutive Sunday.
Sunday, Aprl 8 – 10 runs in 1 game
April 9 – 14 – 9 runs in 4 games
Sunday, April 15 – 10 runs in 1 game
April 16 – 23 – 12 runs in 6 games
Let's hope we can break the pattern and keep the run production going strong this week.

Flood-related resources:
How to help victims of the flood
Complete coverage:
CDOT also released these updates on state highways affected by flooding in Boulder County:
U.S. 36 between Lyons and Estes Park is expected to reopen by Dec. 1. The National Guard is working with CDOT to make temporary repairs.
U.S. 36 south of the Ute Highway is expected to be open to a single lane of alternating traffic today. Repairs on a damaged bridge near where the two highways meet is nearly complete, according to CDOT.
Coal Creek Canyon Road (Colo. 72) between Colo. 93 and the Peak to Peak Highway is being repaired and should be open by the end of November.
Colo. 7 between Lyons and Estes Park is now being assessed. Further information was not immediately available, but the goal is to open the road on a temporary basis by Dec. 1.
To view an updated list of highway closures, visit coloradodot.info/travel/floodinfoupdates.
Colorado Department of Transportation officials expect to reopen Boulder Canyon in mid- to late October.
CDOT, in partnership with Gov. John Hickenlooper, on Thursday outlined reopening schedules for a series of roadways damaged by this month's devastating flooding, including the stretch of Colo. 119 that runs through Boulder Canyon, linking Boulder and Nederland.
Hickenlooper, who previously set Dec. 1 as a deadline by which state highways must be reopened, has signed an executive order making an additional $65.5 million in state funding available for flood recovery. A total of $91.5 million in state money has now been set aside for those efforts.
CDOT spokeswoman Amy Ford said an estimated 20 percent of the stretch of what is commonly known as Boulder Canyon Drive was lost to flood damage.
"Most of it is washed-out road base," Ford said. "There are some areas where the road has been chopped up and washed away entirely."
There was also extensive damage to shoulders in the canyon, Ford said, and crews will be working to repair some bridges and sections of roadway where it approaches bridges.
The most heavily damaged portion of Boulder Canyon Drive is between the mouth of the canyon and Fourmile Canyon Drive, Ford said. Contractors are expected to be working in that area 24 hours a day in the coming weeks to ensure it will open next month.
CDOT is keeping the roadway closed at the mouth of the canyon and is asking residents who live in the area to continue using alternate routes to access their homes.
"For us to meet that schedule, we are asking people to be patient and asking them to go the long way around," Ford said. "If we can keep the speed going, we will be able to get this open as quickly as we can in mid-October."
Ford said CDOT is working with the Boulder County Sheriff's Office on alternate routes area residents can use while the canyon is closed.
One route she outlined was taking Sunshine Canyon Drive west to Poorman Road, then Poorman Road south to Fourmile Canyon Drive and Fourmile to Canyonside Drive.
Ford said CDOT acknowledges that some area residents have hired private contractors to help with their own rebuilding and restoration, but she said those contractors also will have to take alternate routes until the road is ready to open.
She said road crews will have protocols in place to accommodate emergency vehicles that need to move through the canyon.
Permanent repairs to Colorado's highways are expected to cost an estimated $475 million. The Boulder Office of Emergency Management's preliminary assessments estimated that $89 million in damage was done to roads and bridges in Lyons, Jamestown and unincorporated Boulder County alone.
County transportation officials earlier this week estimated that about 50 to 60 percent of Lefthand Canyon Drive had been destroyed by flooding. Still, Boulder County Transportation Director George Gerstle was optimistic a rudimentary two-lane road could be built through Lefthand Canyon by winter, providing direct access to Jamestown.
Similarly, CDOT hopes to restore mobility to state highways by completing temporary or permanent repairs in time to meet the governor's Dec. 1 deadline.
Many repairs are weather-dependent, and officials are emphasizing the schedules for reopening damaged roadways are subject to change as the damage is further assessed.

The main base is pretty useless (about what I expected), though I'm sure some enterprising builder will find a way to put it to use. The large green base plate is a plus. Real Lion Knights instead of Jesters and a true Dragon King and Queen would have made it a home run, but it's still solid overall and a good value at $50.
I'm sure we would be all very grateful if you were able to post pictures of the figures! How do they compare to 'normal' figures? Or are they more like battle-pack quality plastic?
No problem: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=503757
Might have to wait until it's public.

Not the best pictures, but will hopefully give folks an idea.
I'm no expert, but the plastic seems to be more battle-pack quality, though it still seems fine to me.

I am writing in response to the April 11 Butler Eagle article "Petition takes aim at food allergy policy." The article discusses the back-and-forth between the Seneca Valley School Board and district students over the new food allergy policy.
The action taken by the school board is unfortunately a growing necessity. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated an 18 percent rise in food allergies from 1997 to 2007, and the growth of food allergies seems to be continuing, with an estimated one in 13 children having some problem with food allergies. (See www.foodallergy.org.)
There are many theories about this increase, but where there is disagreement over the cause of the increase, there seems to be no dispute that the numbers are growing.
My own family has fallen victim to this unexplained increase. My 3-year-old son has developed major allergies to nuts, milks and eggs. Yet, there is zero history of food allergies on either side of the family.
The entire extended family had to learn how to keep my son safe. And our family is not alone; we frequently run into other parents and grandparents in Butler and Allegheny counties who are learning how to deal with food allergies.
The bottom line is that unless we can find a way to provide separate schools for children with food allergies, this substantial group of students is going to have to be kept safe in our current schools.
It will take some time to find a good balance between keeping the children with food allergies safe and minimizing the inconvenience to other students, but that balance will come in time.
I support the efforts of the Seneca Valley students to keep the discussion on this issue open. We must continue to review the policies put in place to make sure they are common-sense solutions.
If the board's policy goes too far, it should be scaled back.
During this discussion, that will continue. Parents and students who do not have any food allergies would do well to understand that while food allergies are manageable, they also are very scary.
There are few things more frightening than the thought that if your child takes one bite of the wrong food, he could end up dead within minutes. But in the end, if all sides just stay focused on reasonable solutions, none of the students will have to go hungry.

I sometimes just delete the loon comments as a courtesy to the readers who are actually interested in talking about what the post is about, but I thought maybe it was time we should celebrate a "NATIONAL LOON DAY" for these people who work real hard letting everyone share in their issues.
I had one loon actually show up at my doorstep and threaten to call off the wedding. So let's all share a moment of honorable silence for the screaming minority that can only be heard on the internet.
