JOLIET, Ill. — The Kiwanis Club of Shorewood has donated 40 teddy bears to young patients at Provena Saint Joseph Medical Center.
Several club members stopped by the medical center this month to visit with children and families in the Pediatric Unit. They personally delivered the bears to their new owners and wished the children a happy holiday. The club has also committed to regularly delivering additional bears to the unit in the future.
"A small, simple gesture like a stuffed animal goes a long way towards making our patients feel welcomed and loved, especially children who are spending their holiday away from home," said Toni Lee, RN, patient care manager, Pediatric Unit.
In accordance with the Kiwanis mission, the Shorewood Kiwanis Club seeks to directly benefit local children and families and has made a special commitment to support the pediatric program at Provena Saint Joseph in Joliet.
The volunteer group of 11 members hosted its first-ever "Glitz and Glitter Casino Night" last April, which featured gaming tables and auctions. The highly successful event raised $15,000 to benefit the Pediatric program at Provena Saint Joseph.
The second annual Casino Night is scheduled for Saturday, April 27, 2013, at 176 West.
"We are so pleased to have an ongoing partnership with the Kiwanis Club of Shorewood to support our pediatric program," said Beth Hughes, president and CEO, Provena Saint Joseph Medical Center. "Our pediatric specialty services continue to expand each year. In 2012, we were fortunate to welcome four talented new Pediatric hospitalists who provide our young patients with university-level care while keeping the children close to home."
Provena Saint Joseph Medical Center is home to the only Children's Emergency Department in Will County.
It not only provides a child-friendly atmosphere, but also is furnished with the specialized smaller equipment needed for pediatric patients.
Founded in 1915, Kiwanis International is a global organization of members dedicated to serving the children of the world. Kiwanis and its family of clubs, including Circle K International for university students, Key Club for students age 14-18, Builders Club for students age 11-14, Kiwanis Kids for students age 6-12 and Aktion Club for adults living with disabilities, dedicate annually more than 18 million service hours to strengthen communities and serve children.
The Kiwanis International family comprises nearly 600,000 adult and youth members in 80 countries and geographic areas. For more information about Kiwanis International, please visit www.kiwanis.org.
Provena Saint Joseph Medical Center serves Will and surrounding counties, including the southwest Chicago suburbs. For more information, visit Provena Saint Joseph Medical Center's website at www.provena.org/stjoes.

Instead of purchasing holiday gifts for faculty and staff, students are encouraged to purchase "snowflakes," and all of the proceeds are given to Beverly Bootstraps. The nonprofit runs a food pantry, homework club, and a summer lunch program, and also offers housing and heat assistance.

Terms and Conditions
ReservationDesk.com's Terms and Conditions were updated on October 6, 2016.
Thank you for using ReservationDesk.com website (the "Website"). This Website is provided solely to assist customers in gathering travel information, determining the availability of travel-related goods and services, making legitimate reservations or otherwise transacting business with travel suppliers, and for no other purposes. The terms "we", "us", "our", and "ReservationDesk.com" refer to ReservationDesk.com, and its parent company and company affiliates, including Reservation Counter, LLC, TravelPASS Group, LLC, and Partner Fusion, Inc (collectively, the "ReservationDesk.com Companies"). The term "you" refers to the customer visiting the Website and/or booking a reservation through us on this Website, or through our customer service agents.
This Website is offered to you conditioned upon your acceptance without modification of all the terms, conditions, and notices set forth below (collectively, the "Terms and Conditions" or "Agreement"). Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully, as they contain important information about limitations of liability and resolution of disputes through arbitration rather than in court. You should also read our Privacy policy, which also governs your use of the Website, and is incorporated by reference in this Agreement. By accessing or using this Website, booking any reservations for travel products or services on this Website, or contacting our call center agents, you agree that the Terms and Conditions then in force shall apply. If you do not agree to the Terms and Conditions, please do not use or book any reservations through this Website or our call center agents.
As a condition of your use of this Website, you warrant that:
1) you are at least 18 years of age;
2) you possess the legal authority to create a binding legal obligation;
3) you will use this Website in accordance with these Terms and Conditions;
4) you will only use this Website to make legitimate reservations for you or for another person for whom you are legally authorized to act;
5) you will inform such other persons about the Terms and Conditions that apply to the reservations you have made on their behalf, including all rules and restrictions applicable thereto;
6) all information supplied by you on this Website is true, accurate, current and complete; and
7) if you have a ReservationDesk.com account, you will safeguard your account information and will supervise and be completely responsible for any use of your account by you and anyone other than you.
We retain the right at our sole discretion to deny access to anyone to this Website and the services we offer, at any time and for any reason, including, but not limited to, for violation of these Terms and Conditions.
ReservationDesk.com is committed to customer satisfaction, so if you have a problem or dispute, we will try to resolve your concerns. But if we are unsuccessful, you may pursue claims as explained in this section.
You agree to give us an opportunity to resolve any disputes or claims relating in any way to the Website, any dealings with our customer service agents, any services or products provided, any representations made by us, or our Privacy Policy ("Claims") by contacting ReservationDesk.com Customer Support. If we are not able to resolve your Claims within 60 days, you may seek relief through arbitration or in small claims court, as set forth below.
Any and all Claims will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except you may assert Claims on an individual basis in small claims court if they qualify. This includes any Claims you assert against us, travel suppliers, or any companies offering products or services through us (which are beneficiaries of this arbitration agreement). This also includes any Claims that arose before you accepted these Terms and Conditions, regardless of whether prior versions of the Terms and Conditions required arbitration.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including statutory damages, attorneys' fees and costs), and must follow and enforce these Terms and Conditions as a court would.
Arbitrations will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA Consumer Rules. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules, except as provided in this section. If your total Claims seek less than $10,000, we will reimburse you for filing fees you pay to the AAA and will pay arbitrator's fees. You may choose to have an arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the state where you live or at another mutually agreed location.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your Claims to "ReservationDesk.com Legal: Arbitration Claim Manager," at TravelPASS Group, LLC., 2961 West Maple Loop Drive, Suite 300, Lehi, Utah 84043. If we request arbitration against you, we will give you notice at the email address or street address you have provided. The AAA's rules and filing instructions are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.
Any and all proceedings to resolve Claims will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement. An arbitration decision may be confirmed by any court with competent jurisdiction.

ReservationDesk.com Inc. believes in protecting your privacy. Please click here to review our current Privacy Policy, which also governs your use of the Website and, as stated above, is incorporated by reference, to understand our practices: Privacy Policy.
You acknowledge that the ReservationDesk.com Companies pre-negotiate certain room rates with hotel suppliers to facilitate the booking of reservations. You also acknowledge that the ReservationDesk.com Companies provide you services to facilitate such booking of reservations for a consideration (the "facilitation fee"). The room rate displayed on the Website is a combination of the pre-negotiated room rate for rooms reserved on your behalf by the ReservationDesk.com Companies and the facilitation fee retained by the ReservationDesk.com Companies for their services. You authorize the ReservationDesk.com Companies to book reservations for the total reservation price, which includes the room rate displayed on the Website, plus tax recovery charges, service fees, and where applicable, taxes on the ReservationDesk.com Companies' services. You agree that your credit card will be charged by the ReservationDesk.com Companies for the total reservation price. Upon submitting your reservation request you authorize the ReservationDesk.com Companies, to facilitate hotel reservations on your behalf, including making payment arrangements with hotel suppliers.
You acknowledge that except as provided below with respect to tax obligations on the amounts we retain for our services, the ReservationDesk.com Companies do not collect taxes for remittance to applicable taxing authorities. The tax recovery charges on prepaid hotel transactions are a recovery of the estimated taxes (e.g. sales and use, occupancy, room tax, excise tax, value added tax, etc.) that the ReservationDesk.com Companies pay to the hotel supplier for taxes due on the hotel's rental rate for the room. The hotel suppliers invoice the ReservationDesk.com Companies for certain charges, including tax amounts. The hotel suppliers are responsible for remitting applicable taxes to the applicable taxing jurisdictions. None of the ReservationDesk.com Companies act as co-vendors with the supplier with whom we book or reserve our customer's travel arrangements. Taxability and the appropriate tax rate vary greatly by location. The actual tax amounts paid by the ReservationDesk.com Companies to the hotel suppliers may vary from the tax recovery charge amounts, depending upon the rates, taxability, etc. in effect at the time of the actual use of the hotel by our customers. We retain service fees as additional compensation in servicing your travel reservation. Service fees retained by the ReservationDesk.com Companies for their services vary based on the amount and type of hotel reservation.
You may cancel or change your prepaid hotel reservation, but you may be charged the cancellation or change fee indicated in the rules and restrictions for the hotel reservation. If you do not cancel or change your reservation before the cancellation policy period applicable to the hotel you reserved, which varies by hotel (usually 24 to 72 hours) prior to your date of arrival, you will be subject to a charge equal to applicable nightly rates, tax recovery charges and service fees. In the event you do not show for the first night of the reservation and plan to check-in for subsequent nights in your reservation, you must confirm the reservation changes with us no later than the date of the first night of the reservation to prevent cancellation of your reservation.
You agree to pay any cancellation or change fees that you incur. In limited cases, some hotels do not permit changes to or cancellations of reservations after they are made, as indicated in the rules and restrictions for the hotel reservation. You agree to abide by the Terms and Conditions imposed with respect to your prepaid hotel reservations.
Sales, use and/or local hotel occupancy taxes are imposed on the amounts that we charge for our services (service fee and/or facilitation fee) in certain jurisdictions. The actual tax amounts on our services may vary depending on the rates in effect at the time of your hotel stay.
You may not book reservations for more than 9 rooms online for the same hotel/stay dates. If we determine that you have booked reservations for more than 9 rooms in total in separate reservations, we may cancel your reservations, and charge you a cancellation fee, if applicable. If you paid a non-refundable deposit, your deposit will be forfeited. If you wish to book reservations for 9 or more rooms, you must contact ReservationDesk.com's call center. One of our group travel specialists will research your request and contact you to complete your reservation. You may be asked to sign a written contract and/or pay a nonrefundable deposit.
Some hotel suppliers may require you to present a credit card or cash deposit upon check-in to cover additional expenses incurred during your stay. Such deposit is unrelated to any payment received by ReservationDesk.com for your hotel booking.
Some banks and credit card companies impose fees for international transactions. If you are making a booking from outside of the United States on a US credit card, your bank may convert the payment amount to your local currency and charge you a conversion fee. This means the amount listed on your credit or bank card statement may be in your local currency and therefore a different figure than the figure shown on the billing summary page for a reservation booked on the Website. In addition, a foreign transaction fee may be assessed if the bank that issued your credit card is located outside of the United States. Booking international travel may be considered to be an international transaction by the bank or card company, since ReservationDesk.com may pass on your payment to an international travel supplier. The currency exchange rate and foreign transaction fee is determined solely by your bank on the day that they process the transaction. If you have any questions about these fees or the exchange rate applied to your booking, please contact your bank.
You are responsible for ensuring that you meet foreign entry requirements and that your travel documents, such as passports and visas (transit, business, tourist, and otherwise), are in order and any other foreign entry requirements are met. ReservationDesk.com has no special knowledge regarding foreign entry requirements or travel documents. We urge customers to review travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements, and advisories issued by the relevant governments prior to booking travel to international destinations.

RICHMOND – A ban on assault weapons likely won't come up again, the Richmond village president said.
After two and a half hours of public comment at the Richmond Village Board meeting Wednesday, the board unanimously killed a proposed assault weapons ban.
The board had decided to bring the measure up following the passage of a concealed-carry bill that includes a provision giving municipalities 10 days from enactment to pass bans on semi-automatic assault-style weapons.
But there's disagreement over whether the provision applies to non-home-rule communities such as Richmond.
That was one of the arguments raised by the ban's opponents who crowded into Richmond's Village Hall.
"There was a fairly good cross section of local residents, as well as people who traveled from longer distances in order to speak at the meeting," Village President Pete Koenig said.
Some questioned why Richmond, a town of less than 1,900 people, needed a ban and raised concerns about how that would affect those crossing through the town on Route 12 on their way to Wisconsin.
Others worried a ban would limit their ability to protect themselves and their families.
The idea behind the "shell ordinance" was to keep the village's options open beyond the 10-day deadline, Koenig said before the meeting. The village could amend or abolish a ban after the deadline; it just wouldn't be able to enact one.

September 7 – Happy Birthday Suzyn Waldman
I like Yankee radio broadcaster Suzyn Waldman and pretty much always have. Yes she's an unabashed "homer" but so was "Scooter." Yes she went way overboard on that night in 2007, when Roger Clemons stood there waving alongside George Steinbrenner at the old Yankee Stadium as his return to the Yankees was announced to the crowd. But that's another reason I like her. She says what she feels and she shows emotion. I absolutely did not mind her crying on air after the Yankees lost the 2007 ALDS to the Indians or when she was verbally and unfairly assaulted by Toronto's George Bell during a 1987 interview in the Stadium's visitors' locker room. She's certainly not the best play-by-play or color commentator I've ever heard but I happily listen to her when radio is my only connection available to my favorite team's games. There have been rumors spread by certain Big Apple tabloid reporters that Waldman, a former Broadway actress, got her sports announcing gig with the Bombers because she was a par amour of Yankee owner George Steinbrenner. I have no idea how true that is but after listening to the feisty lady talk about the Bronx Bombers for the last two decades, I know she has the knowledge, passion and talent to more than justify her role in Yankee history as the team's first-ever female play-by-play announcer.
And despite the fact that she's a female, Ms. Waldman also has proven she carries around a set of balls. In Bill Madden's great book "Steinbrenner," the author explains how Waldman was the person who got George Steinbrenner to apologize to Yogi Berra. At one point, as final arrangements for the meeting at Berra's New Jersey Museum's grand opening were being worked out, Yogi's son Dale was worried the Boss would not actually apologize to his father. As Madden tells it in his book, Waldman assured the younger Berra that the Yankee owner was not going to fly all the way up to new Jersey from Tampa to say "F_ _ _ you!"
Waldman was born on this date in 1946. This one time Yankee outfielder was also born on September 7th.

I have an html template. Setting it up is fairly easy as I know markup, JS and Jquery. But I am kind of weak on back end development. Anyway, I want to setup up an e-commerce where users can submit their own property to be included in the store. So far I have not found any luck finding a php plugin, api, app etc. I would like to find something out of the box.
If anyone can help me find lone I would be so happy. Thanks.

Red Wine Risotto
Bring stock to a bare simmer in a 3-quart pot. Heat a straight-sided, heavy pan over medium heat. Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter and stir together until the butter has melted. Add pancetta and cook for three minutes, or until golden. Add onion and cook for 1 minute, or until translucent. Add rice and stir thoroughly to coat it evenly with oil. Continue to stir until rice begins to sizzle.
Bare the center of the pan with a wooden spoon and add half of the wine over the bare pan bottom. Stir until the pan is nearly dry, then repeat with the remaining wine.
Add 1 cup of stock and use a wooden spoon to scrape the sides and bottom of the pan. Continue to stir until nearly all of the stock has been absorbed. Repeat previous steps until the rice is al dente, approximately 20 minutes. You will have at least 1 cup of stock remaining.
Remove pan from heat and stir in the remaining butter, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add enough stock to achieve a flowing consistency (Northern Italians call this "al ondo" or "to the wave"). Serve immediately, garnished with shaved Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.
Yield: 6 servings
Suggested Wine Pairings: Chianti Classico, Dolcetto, Croze Hermitage, Argentine Malbec, Zinfandel, Chinon, Syrah

So I just read this article on ESPN (http://espn.go.com/blog/kansas-city-...hows-his-value). Pretty much Poe has been in on almost every play on defense. That is IMPRESSIVE for a defensive lineman ... especially one his size. I think his development has been the key to our defense's turn around this year. I cannot wait to see him continue to develop!
BTW, for those that didnt know, Pro-Bowl balloting is open. I think you know what to do.

Flotsam And Jetsam
Ugly Noise
April 2013
Released: 2012, Indie
Rating: 3.5/5
Reviewer: JP
There is a sense of what I would classify as misguided nostalgia. So many people I speak with think Flotsam And Jetsam is an 80's thrash band. Sure they put out two excellent records in the 80's but what about the other nine studio albums where they switched became just a pure Metal band? The band has developed their darker, slower, heavier signature sound on WHEN THE STORM COMES DOWN in 1990 and has never really deviated from that style. It is a unique sound and that is part of the enduring appeal of the band.
Sure there have been line-up changes, and labels changes, good times, bad times but right now the band is in a good space right now. Using a new business model of fan-supported (ie, a digital donation campaign) to make the album, UGLY NOISE is an independent creation and labour of love. The CUATRO line-up of Eric, Ed, Mike, Jason and Kelly has regrouped to create a very solid entry into the bands catalogue. The 12-track slim-line, digi-pak style isn't my favourite look or feel to an album; it has no booklet, no lyrics, but I do like the album cover art. I had to look twice and someone actually pointed out what the image was. I thought it was rail ties or something but it is actually a tight close-up of decaying piano keys, hence the title.
Musically UGLY NOISE is as good as anything in recent memory from the guys. Stand-out tracks are 'Gittyup', 'Motherfuckery', and the streamlined head-banging of the title track and the minimalist, but punchy cut 'Rage'. The production is very good, everything washed in darker tones and Erik's voice is still in top shape. The songs are mostly mid-tempo with lots of head-banging intensity without coming off the rails.The band has always had a good sense of song-writing and this is no exception.
I actually bought this in January from the bands merchandise booth in Florida at the pre-70,000 Tons Of Metal gig. At the time of writing this review, the band has announced that the album is going to be reissued by Metal Blade, which means we might get revised packaging, perhaps a jewel case and maybe even a bonus track for the fans like me who bought the original? One can hope! Either way, support the band and hear some UGLY NOISE!

Limestone College, which officially started a football program nearly a year ago, will not begin competing as an NCAA Division II independent until next year. But the Saints are working hard on the field and in the weight room six days per week.
GAFFNEY — There's a team that practices and never plays a game.
Limestone College, which officially started a football program nearly a year ago, will not begin competing as an NCAA Division II independent until next year. But the Saints are working hard on the field and in the weight room six days per week.
On Saturdays, they rest. And watch everybody else play.
"It's different," said Keke Ashmore, a defensive back from Byrnes High School. "We do all this and don't have a reward at the end of the week. But we know we're out there getting better. We're going to be ready for next year."
Limestone will play host in its first-ever game on Sept. 6, 2014, against Wingate University at Gaffney High School's stadium. There are countdown clocks ticking away in the Saints' heads.
"A lot of frustration is going to be let loose in that game," said Gabe Posey, a defensive back and hometown product from Gaffney. "We don't plan on losing."
The Saints have a scheduling agreement with the South Atlantic Conference from 2015-18. Although they won't be official members of the league, they are at least guaranteed eight games against those teams. Wingate is in that group, along with Newbery, Lenoir-Rhyne, Carson-Newman, Catawba, Tusculum, Brevard and Mars Hill.
Limestone already has a massive roster of 107, including the Division II maximum of 36 scholarship players and the rest walk-ons. And while it's common for college football freshmen to take redshirt seasons (practicing with the team but not being eligible to play until the next season), the Saints are basically redshirting an entire team.
"We're embracing it," Limestone head coach Bobby James said. "What a great opportunity for us to improve as a unit. The message we're presenting to our players — and I know it's difficult sometimes — is that we're getting better. We're getting bigger, stronger, faster and smarter.
"Our guys are redshirting while running our program. That's the big difference. Redshirts on other teams are in the background or being used on scout team or something. This will put our freshmen well ahead of freshmen at other places. It also gets us ahead academically. And all these guys will have four years to play after all this extra preparation. I think it's great. I'll never be able to do this again."
James came to Limestone after six years as an assistant at Wingate, the last five as defensive coordinator. He's also worked at his alma mater, Bloomsburg (Pa.) University, Lenoir-Rhyne and New Haven (Conn.), all Division II schools.
"I couldn't ask for a better situation to walk into and start a program," James said. "We've had a tremendous amount of support from the community. Everybody wants to know how it's going. Gaffney is football-crazy. That puts stress on us, but that's what we want. Gaffney is known for high school football and we want it to be known for college football as well."
James not only has the natural support of a football town, but also the advantage of being in a recruiting hotbed. South Carolina's upstate is rich with talent, and not everyone can go to the Division I level. North Greenville University in Tigerville began a program in 1994 and succeeds at the Division II level with much the same premise.
"There are just so many great players in his area," James said. "We'd like to steal them all."
James found recruiting for a start-up program easier than he thought. Being on a level playing field from the first day, no upperclassmen to play behind, was appealing to so many.
"I wasn't planning on coming to Limestone. I knew I was going somewhere else," said wide receiver Amavi Draper from Dorman. "But I broke my leg (as a senior) and didn't get those opportunities I thought I was going to get. I talked to the Limestone coaches and I really liked the idea of not coming in behind anybody else. We all came in together. We all get the same chance to show what we can do."
While most college football teams hold spring games, scrimmages with their offense against their defenses, Limestone will have a fall game. The Saints will play an exhibition Nov. 2 on campus.
"I think it will be exciting," James said. "It's the first chance for people to see what we have here. I know the guys are really looking forward to it."

The Daily Tribune (http://www.dailytribune.com)
Wednesday, April 2, 2014
Ted Lindsay's career with the Detroit Red Wings earned him a place in the NHL's Hockey Hall of Fame. Families and children at the Beaumont Children's Hospital HOPE Center consider Lindsay a legend for his work off the ice. Since 2001, the Ted Lindsay Foundation has funded academic research and the continued work of autism programs.
In conjunction with World Autism Day, the Ted Lindsay Foundation is donating $1 million to expand and create a new facility for the HOPE Center, which provides Hands-On Parent Education to families of children with autism spectrum disorders and other developmental disorders.
To recognize this generous gift, Beaumont Health System will rename the center the Ted Lindsay Foundation HOPE Center.
"It's not just the child that has autism," Lindsay said. "It's the whole family that has autism. It's not a one person thing."
Lindsay's friend John Czarnecki inspired the hockey legend to support autism research. Doctors diagnosed Czarnecki's son, Dominic, with autism. Since that day, Czarnecki, Lindsay and the Foundation have worked together to create and grow the impact of the Ted Lindsay Foundation.
According to research released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week, about one in 68 children get diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. This is a 30 percent increase compared to previous estimates. ASD occurs almost five times more frequently in boys than girls.
HOPE Center Director Lori Warner, Ph.D., said the support from the Ted Lindsay Foundation has been instrumental to the program's success.
"They felt our passion and they wanted to support us in any way they could," Warner said. "We felt immediately energized because we knew they understood our mission. They cared about us. Their kindness and their generosity have allowed us to do things we didn't think were possible."
Warner's work continues to exceed Lindsay's expectations.
"When I saw what they were accomplishing in the facility she has now, I figured, this is where we have to help her, so she can do a better job," Lindsay said. "When you're professional the way they are, it's right that they have the best facilities possible to treat these kids."
Margaret Cooney Casey, president of the Beaumont Foundation, considers Lindsay's passion for helping children with autism spectrum disorders "inspiring."
"We are very grateful for the Foundation's investment in the HOPE Center and all of the life-changing work they do," Casey said.
In 2012, the Ted Lindsay Foundation donated $64,000 to purchase electronic tablets and netbooks for the center. The funding also provided autism treatment scholarships for children.
"To me, iPads don't mean a thing," Lindsay said. "But, it means an awful lot to the doctors and the kids. A kid ... who couldn't communicate in words, took the iPad and wrote, 'Mom, I love you.' That was the first time the mother had seen that. Never heard it, but she saw it. Can you imagine what kind of feeling that would be?"
Because of the intensive and time-consuming nature of autism treatment, getting help for children with autism can be difficult for many families, often causing them to delay therapy or not seek it at all. The Ted Lindsay Foundation HOPE Center has focused on easing the financial burden by providing need-based treatment scholarships that cover up to 75 percent of expenses. In 2013, the center awarded $63,000 in scholarships to children at the HOPE Center for therapy sessions.

Lincoln County Board of Public Utilities officials recessed their Thursday evening board meeting until 6 p.m. tomorrow (Oct. 11) as they consider a proposal for a county sewer system.
Dudley Fox, a representative with CTI Engineers, Inc., presented a study to the board which outlined the projected population growth, cost and estimated revenue, as well as possible funding solutions.
According to CTI's study, the cost of the trunk line sewer system, which would follow Huntsville Highway from Woody Anderson Ford to the state line, would be approximately $8 million.
Officials agreed that they are in favor of a sewer system but are concerned with the funding of the project and whether it would create a financial drain on the system.
"We've got to figure out if we can do it without bankrupting the system or the county," said Hugh Moffett, board member.
Fox stated that the system would allow for future growth east and west of Huntsville Highway and the potential for light industrial along Huntsville Highway.
"The inclusion of a sewer system will allow for higher population development and business," Fox stated.
During the meeting, Lincoln County Mayor Peggy Bevels stated that the county applied for a $750,000 grant from the state's Fast Track Infrastructure Development Program, and it was approved. This would help fund the sewer system, as well as five-cents of the recent property tax increase, which will provide approximately $250,000 per year toward the sewer, Bevels said.
The county also has applied for a $1.5 million Federal Economic Development Administration grant application to assist with funding for sewer construction; however, that has not been approved to date.
Prior to the discussion about sewer, board action included the approval of a service agreement with the USGS monitoring service. The service maintains and monitors the Taft test well water levels.
The board also voted to install a one-inch water meter on an Ardmore Highway property that was temporarily vacant. The existing meter had been removed when the old water lines were replaced recently.

A woman was killed after she was struck by a vehicle early Saturday morning in Dorchester's Lower Mills section, according to Boston police.
The 32-year-old woman, who has not been identified, was struck at 4 River St., near the Washington Street intersection, around 5:15 a.m., said Officer Rachel McGuire, a spokeswoman for Boston police.
The victim was taken to Carney Hospital and died of her injuries at the hospital, McGuire said. She said the incident is not considered a hit and run.
A man who identified himself as the victim's landlord but declined to give his name said she lived in an apartment building at Washington Street and Tanglewood Road, one block from the accident scene.
"She was a very nice person," he said. "She'll be missed."
He said she had been his tenant for four or five years, first renting just a room but in recent weeks moving into her own apartment. He believed she was on her way to work when she was struck.
The landlord said the victim had immigrated to the United States from Kenya for access to greater opportunities and hoped to bring her young son from Africa to live with her.
"She worked very hard to make everything happen, and those plans got cut short," he said.
He said the victim was a good tenant who worked long hours and mostly kept to herself. "She was just quiet," he said. "She worked a lot. ... Once you work all day, the best thing you want to do is go to bed."
The incident is under investigation.Globe correspondent Melissa Hanson contributed to this report. Jeremy C. Fox can be reached at email@example.com. Derek J. Anderson can be reached at email@example.com.

Andreychuk met the Stanley Cup on Friday, July 30 at the McMaster Children's Hospital in his hometown. Dave took the beautifully-polished trophy up and down the halls, visiting the children who are patients there and leaving the delighted kids with autographed photographs and specially-printed t-shirts.
That afternoon, a parade was held in Dave's honour. With the sun beating down on the marching bands, police unit, Bruiser, the AHL Hamilton Bulldogs' mascot and TC, the mascot of the Canadian Football League's Hamilton Tiger Cats, the parade preceded the guest of honour hoisting the Stanley Cup from the back of a little red Corvette. The parade wound around and finished at the Mountain Arena, where 4,000 fans cheered wildly as Andreychuk executed a lap around the arena in a cart that finished its circuit at centre ice. There, his family was seated waiting for him - wife Sue and daughters Taylor, Caci and Brooke.
That evening, the Sheraton Hamilton Hotel was the location of a private party. Andreychuk posed for photographs with the Stanley Cup for over three hours as each of the 250 guests wanted to take home a souvenir of a very special evening. Then, Dave, Sue and a few others retired to the suite where they stayed up most of the night talking and looking at hockey's most cherished prize.
In the off-season, Dave and Sue Andreychuk live in East Amherst, a suburb of Buffalo. They know the area well and were anxious to take Lord Stanley's mug to patrons of some of their favourite bars and restaurants. First stop was the Crocodile Bar, and then it was off to Elmo's, a place Sabres' players often visit after games in order to wind down. On the walls were signed and framed Buffalo jerseys from Matthew Barnaby and Doug Gilmour among others. Dave and Sue then took the Stanley Cup to a private party at Brennan's Bowery Bar. Sue had raved about the chicken wings for several hours. "Better have the Buffalo wings," she prompted. "They're the best anywhere!" Sue was absolutely right!
Two limo buses then took the party-goers to the Andreychuk home. A number of Dave's former Sabres' teammates were there to congratulate their friend Darryl Shannon, Grant Ledyard, Matthew Barnaby and Rob Ray. "Now that I'm retired, I can touch this thing without jinxing my chances," laughed Rob, reaching for the Cup. "I don't have to be superstitious any more." None of Andreychuk's mates had enjoyed a Stanley Cup celebration of their own.
Dave and Sue Andreychuk insisted that they get their photograph taken in front of a tree in their yard. Confused, the guests wondered why they were so eager. "This tree was struck by lightning during the playoffs. See the crack," Dave asked, pointing up the trunk of the tree. "In retrospect, it was a hell of an omen, wasn't it?" Everyone laughed as the camera flashes illuminated the Andreychuk's yard. The party continued until 4:30 that morning, when the last of the tequila was drained from the Stanley Cup.
The foursome had a fabulous day, ribbing each other as they played. Craig would play a hole, then head off to play with friends, scooting around the course with the Stanley Cup on a golf cart. When Ramsay saw a couple of golfers wearing Montreal and Toronto logos, he teased, "Hey, why don't you wear a sweater from a real team?" Everyone roared in response.
On the eighth hole, Craig placed the Stanley Cup next to the hole, then proceeded to sink a forty-foot birdie putt. Everyone around cheered as wildly as they did when Tampa Bay won the Cup. "The Stanley Cup sucked it in I swear," Ramsay laughed. "Of all the shots Hockey Night in Canada have taken today, why didn't they film me draining that putt?"
Craig then rode the golf cart across the highway to the Fort Erie Leisure Plex, where he put the Cup on display for the public. About three hundred people donated money to the Fort Erie Minor Hockey Association in order to get a photograph with Lord Stanley's Cup.
Jad asked his father if he could surprise his future father-in-law, and Craig was only too happy to oblige. They took the Stanley Cup to the Wingers for an unexpected visit. Afterwards, the Cup was returned to the golf club where Craig Ramsay posed with the public on the outdoor deck. Money raised from this venture went to a cancer charity honouring the memory of Ramsay's friend and colleague, Roger Neilson.
Through the evening, 400 guests filled a hall that resembled an airplane hangar. Buffalo TV sportscaster Ed Kilgore was there, as were Craig Ramsay's former Sabre mates Don Luce, Danny Gare, Larry Carriere and Derek Smith. Guests enjoyed roast beef and tacos as Tampa's associate coach posed for photographs.

By KYLE FRANKO
NEW BRUNSWICK � While the final score was never in doubt, Ewing High boys basketball coach Shelly Dearden wasn�t happy with the way her team finished the game.
Sure, the Blue Devils beat Roselle, 54-42, Monday afternoon in the MLK Roundball Classic at New Brunswick High, but a sloppy fourth quarter left Dearden feeling like there was room for improvement.
�I don�t think we closed the fourth quarter very well,� said Dearden, whose club committed seven of its 21 turnovers in the fourth quarter once the Rams turned up their trapping defense. �We should do better than that. We should take care of the ball better than we did. We�re working on that.�
It wasn�t as though Ewing was ever in serious danger after an impressive third quarter when it outscored Roselle 15-5 for a 39-27 advantage heading into the final eight minutes.
�We wanted to get our tempo up,� said sophomore guard Trey Lowe, who finished with a game-high 22 points.
Lowe converted a 3-point play with 5:18 left in the third that pushed a two-point halftime lead to seven and Isaiah York followed with a layup to make it nine.
York finished with 13 points and Nigiem Williams had eight for the Blue Devils (10-4).
Julian Jones scored 16 points for Roselle and Jamar Redmond added 12.
The Rams (6-7) trailed by eight after one, but got back into the game with a strong second quarter. Redmond�s steal and dunk, which he followed with a free throw, capped a 9-0 run that tied the game at 22.
But Lowe answered in the final seconds, tipping home a missed shot to give Ewing a 24-22 advantage at the break.
�We�ve been working on getting to the spots � getting him open,� Dearden said of her lanky guard, who has been on a scoring tear of late. �When our offense is running, he�s coming off screen and is open. We�ve been very fortunate that he�s been knocking his shots down.�
Although he scored 22 points, Lowe was shut out in fourth quarter, and had a couple turnovers of his own.
Much like his coach, he knows there is room for improvement.
�We have to stay focused at the end of the game,� Lowe said. �We have to make free throws when they count. Just be ready for anything.�
The Blue Devils are still feeling each other out after losing nearly the entire roster from last season�s state-championship team.
While this was just game 14, Dearden thinks this group is starting to gel.
�Everyday is different because somebody is stepping up here or stepping up there,� she said. �You have your nucleus or your core, but there is always somebody here or there coming up and doing something well for us.�
York 4-5-13, Jones 2-1-5, Tye 0-0-0, Clarke 3-0-6, Lowe 7-5-22, Williams 2-4-8, Bell 0-0-0. Totals: 18-15-54.
Jimenez 2-3-7, Womble 0-0-0, Redmond 5-2-12, Nelson 1-0-2, Jones 7-0-16, Cadet 0-0-0, Hairston 2-0-5, Coleman 0-0-0. Totals: 17-5-42.
Ewing (9-4) 18 6 15 15 � 54
Roselle (6-7) 10 12 5 15 � 42
3pt goals: E-Lowe 3; R-Jones 2, Hariston.

Nov. 18 Lecture to Address Treating Opioid-Dependent Pregnant Women
- 11-06-2013
- By University Communications
The newly established Vermont Center on Behavior and Health continues its monthly lecture series with a talk by Sarah Heil, associate professor of psychiatry and psychology: "Buprenorphine for treating opioid-dependent pregnant women: Behavioral pharmacology in action."
The lecture, free and open to the public, will take place Monday, Nov. 18 at noon in Davis Auditorium, Medical Education Center Pavilion, Fletcher Allen Health Care.
Since joining the UVM faculty in 2002, Heil has been continuously funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Her research interests include the behavioral and pharmacological processes involved in substance use disorders, with a special focus on pregnant and recently postpartum women and their infants. In recent years, Heil's research with colleagues to improve the treatment of opioid dependence during pregnancy has led to changes in clinical practice guidelines in the U.S. and many other countries.

Change of colour
You likey, or no likey?
I admit it is a drastic change. But the background is very 'springish' to me, like the season, not a box spring if that's what you were thinking. Like the leaves and the green and ... everything.
Let me know what you think. Better than before? Brighter than before?? It will mean I am limited in my posting colours (through my own choice, we'll see how long that lasts for).
So yes, yay or nay?
After admittedly staring at my blog for 2 hours and listening to my playlist (yes, i'm that narcissistic) i can wholeheartedly announce that i FUCKING LOVE IT!!!!! WOO HOO!

Hey Bree!!!

Sunday, April 3rd - - Still heading West, I came across this "tribute" to the Texas Longhorn.
I stopped for the night at Copper Breaks State Park (west of Wichita Falls). Though not far, the drive had been tiring - lots of wind with gusts from 35-50 mph and it was hot! Really hot.
The photo above was taken at 5:24 pm at the campground; the van was in the shade! Yep, it was hot. I did manage to go for a very short walk (about 10 minutes) after driving up to an overlook to get this picture (below) of the lake. The "lower" campground where I stayed was on the left side of the lake. Being lower didn't provide any relief from the wind or the heat.
The sun was completely hidden beneath the hills but for a few brief moments it lit up the clouds like they were on fire, appropriate for such a hot day. The setting of the sun provided little relief from the heat. Even with doors and windows open, it was perhaps one of the most uncomfortable nights spent on the road thus far. Relief did arrive, however, when after midnight a front moved through and the temperature dropped dramatically. When I got up the next morning it was a chilly 48 degrees! And still windy.

A struggling Tim Lincecum started Saturday night for the San Francisco Giants against a Washington Nationals team that's given him fits for the last several seasons.
He wasn't around very long.
Jordan Zimmermann pitched eight strong innings, Asdrubal Cabrera homered and the Nationals kept up their dominance of the two-time Cy Young Award winner, beating the Giants 6-2 Saturday.
Lincecum (10-9) was seeking his 100th win in the majors, but turned in the second-shortest start of his career. He gave up six runs, four of them earned, on six hits and four walks in 2 2-3 innings.
"You can go out there and think yourself through an outing and not be successful just because you're not allowing yourself to do it. Your brain's kind of in the way," he said, "and I feel like that's where I'm at now. It's a little bit (that) my head's getting in the way of me."
In his last seven starts against Washington, he's 0-6 and has permitted 34 earned runs in 32 2-3 innings. Lincecum has failed to pitch at least five innings in four of his last six starts overall, going 1-3 with a 9.49 ERA.
He expressed confidence he can pitch his way out of his current woes.
"I've done it before," Lincecum said. "It was a different time in my life, but I'm still tenacious and competitive enough to work through it and not let it get to me, or at least not get the best of me."
Manager Bruce Bochy was asked about considering moving Lincecum to the bullpen.
"We'll talk about it," Bochy said. "He definitely had a tough go today. He was out of sync and his delivery, command, everything – he was just off."
It was Lincecum's shortest start since he allowed six earned runs and lasted just 2 1-3 innings against Colorado on April 11, 2012 in a 17-8 loss.
Jayson Werth added a pair of RBI singles and Span had a triple and single for the NL East-leading Nationals, one night after San Francisco ended their streak in a 10-3 win.
The Giants got off to a good start against Zimmermann (9-5), when Angel Pagan led off with a double and Hunter Pence followed with his 18th home run on a pitch well out of the strike zone.
"There's only one guy in the game that's going to hit that pitch and it's him," Zimmermann said. "I threw it right where I wanted, 0-2 and up by his shoulders. Beats me how he hit it that far."
Zimmermann quickly recovered and allowed seven hits overall, striking out eight without a walk.
Pablo Sandoval had three hits for San Francisco, which had won six of eight.
Yusmeiro Petit replaced Lincecum and retired all 13 batters he faced. He hasn't allowed a hit in his last 12 1-3 innings of relief.
The first three Nationals reached base in the first as Werth's single scored Span, and a double-play grounder brought home the second Nationals run.
Aided by an error, Washington scored three in the second to make it 5-2.
Lincecum's outing ended in the third when Cabrera homered and Zimmermann doubled.
Giants: Bochy said CF Pagan, who felt left calf tightness while running the bases Friday night, is fine. "He showed up, said he could barely feel it. Got some treatment, so he's good to go."
San Francisco RHP Ryan Vogelsong (7-9, 3.73) opposes Stephen Strasburg (10-10, 3.41) in Sunday's series finale.
Zimmermann wasn't the only one impressed with Pence's home run. "Hunter hit a ball over his head out of the ballpark. I don't know how you do that. It's 95 (miles per hour) and at least at his eye level," Nationals manager Matt Williams said.

In the distance is Maughold(pronounced Makold) a small village named after St Machaoi. Maughold Point is the most easterly on the island. It's also the closest point to England so you can imagine the view on a very clear day. It's also where Johnny Depp stayed when he was filming the Libertine over here. If you take a walk under and past the pier you will arrive at the arches. I took this at the top of the promenade steps that lead to the beach. It looks like the pier is actually situated on the land but that's just perspective. Here are some other images to put this view in context what is around here and some pier close ups.

last week we covered the golden hour in photography. This was around noon. Sometimes photography rules just don't apply. This image needed to be flat and smooth no shadows so noon was the best time to shoot it. I know it's one rule for one image and one for another. Just think fight club. First rule of photography really should be- there are no rules in photography.
