HAMPTON BEACH — A Hampton woman who was allegedly driving drunk when she struck and killed a pedestrian crossing the street along Hampton Beach after midnight Sunday is free on bail, police said Wednesday.
HAMPTON BEACH — A Hampton woman who was allegedly driving drunk when she struck and killed a pedestrian crossing the street along Hampton Beach after midnight Sunday is free on bail, police said Wednesday.
At about 1 a.m. Oct. 13, Danielle Kooyoomjian, 29, of Hampton, was arrested on a charge of aggravated driving while intoxicated in a 2003 Honda Civic at the scene of a deadly crash near the intersection of Ocean Boulevard and Highland Avenue, according to Hampton police.
"There are several crosswalks in that area," Police Chief Jamie Sullivan said. He declined to comment whether speed is considered to have been a factor in the crash.
The victim was identified as Charles Sayre, 57, of Amesbury, Mass.
Sullivan said the charge of aggravated DWI "resulting in serious bodily injury" came Sunday before the victim was pronounced dead. Asked whether there could be additional charges in light of the man's death, Sullivan said, "We'll be reviewing all charges with the county attorney's office and filing the appropriate charges."
Kooyoomjian's bail was set at $500 cash and $1,500 personal recognizance, Sullivan said. She has since been released and has an arraignment slated for Nov. 13, Sullivan said.
There was a passenger in Kooyoomjian's vehicle, but no one was with the victim, Sullivan said.
Sayre had serious injuries when emergency responders arrived at the scene. He was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, where he was pronounced dead Monday.
According to Sayre's obituary on the Paul C. Rogers & Sons Family Funeral Homes Web site, he was a "proud veteran" of the U.S. Army and a father of five.
"His greatest passion in life was being a loving and dedicated father to his five children, with whom he shared his love of hiking and beauty of nature along with his passion for cooking. His signature dishes were lasagna, meatloaf, banana bread and strawberry cake. He was truly an exceptional cook," the obituary states.

We woke up this morning to a stationary ferry – we're in Trondheim!
This is our long stop for the day – with lots of human activities: The Northern most Tram ride in the world, excursions to the Nidaros Cathedral, kayaking on the river Nid and a hike with the expedition team. We didn't go on any of these and we even got lost walking to Trondheim!
It wasn't a very nice morning either with sleet and slush on the roads. So we headed back to the ferry and decided to have a cosy day of snuggling. And about time!
The first couple of days, Mummy was just getting used to how things worked – and we stayed in the cabin on our own wondering what was happening. But we soon realised she kept coming back, sometimes with treats and then she took us out for walks. Now she's figured out each our schedule for each day – according to stops, our feeding and importantly – how we feed. We're now getting some delicious food from the buffet – today we had salmon and pork!Takk for maten! – as they say in Norway, which literally means – thanks for the food!
We also met Natasha today from the expedition team – she's considering taking one of us on the hike in Kirkenes. When asked which she would take – guess who she chose? Our last stop today was Rørvik at 20.45 – after an open sea journey for the last two hours which meant the sea was a bit rough. When that happens, we usually hunker down in our cabin till we reach shore and then we were off for our last walk – and ship ahoy! There's the Spitsbergen – a sister Hurtigruten ship also anchored. Till tomorrow.
Wait! Mummy, where are you going? Choir practice?!?!?! What on earth?
May's comment: Trondheim was the first capital city of Norway. The main attraction was the Nidaros Cathedral but we didn't get to see it. 🙁
The next time we're back to Trondheim in eight days, we will be leaving the ferry and getting on a train back to Oslo. But there are still many more fjords to see, many more towns to discover and still hoping for clearer skies to see the Northern Lights. Fingers crossed! This is a Northern Light promise cruise – so if we don't see it, we have a free cruise – and I'll be on it – sans dogs! LOL!
By the third day, have figured out all the programs. I am not going on any of the excursions as that's usually the time I could take them for walks. All's fine on that front – except for one that I definitely want to go to – the Ice Hotel in Kirkenes. That is when the Excursion Team will consider taking George on a walk along the coast and they will see if I can take Darcy with me. OMG!!!! How cool would that be? The decision lies in the hands of the Ice Hotel. TBD.
Took time to explore the deck and looked out at sea today. In the afternoon, there's always some activity. Today's feature was blue mussels out on the deck.And a point of interest was the deep red Kjeungskjaer lighthouse, on a tiny island, otherwise a rock at the mouth of the Bjugnfjorden.It is the only octagonal lighthouse in Norway. Built in 1880 and until 1947, it was manned by a lighthouse keeper. It is big enough to sleep six – and once upon a time, a family of three children lived in the lighthouse! And Kai was making Christmas decorations – one of the activities leading up to Christmas. Al these will go on the tree tomorrow night.
And yes, I decided to join the choir! LOL! Haven't sung in a choir since I was in school but what the heck – its Christmas!
It was good to chill and spend time with the doggies. This is one of the limitations besides not being able to go on excursions – also a good excuse not to spend, as they are pricey. The ferry has many lovely places to sit and relax and most of the passengers are on Deck 7 lounging by the "fireplace", looking out at sea of sitting in the covered deck. Whenever I'm not at breakfast, lunch or dinner, or not attending a "lecture", I'm in the cabin with them –blogging, even working or napping! 🙂
We are by now out of raw food and had asked the kitchen if they could supply any – they were considering it, and then decided actually that I could actually give them food from the buffet! So cooked meat (without sauces), fish – sometimes sausages will have to do. I have some baked dog food but will keep those as reserve.
Also did some laundry – much-needed for their filthy Equafleeces! Very useful facility especially when you're on board for 11 days.

UBQH's Patented, Active & Stable Co Q10 may support:
Most active form of COQ10, up to 8xs the absorption...
Because supplementing with standard CoQ10 may not be enough.
Some people have a tough time converting CoQ10 to its active, reduced form. By supplementing with reduced CoQ10, you can more easily support cellular energy and overall health with this patented, stabilized, and reduced form of Ubiquinol.
CoQ10 is converted by the body to its active form, QH - an essential step in the production of cellular energy. However, the conversion rate of CoQ10 to QH tends to decline with age.
Proven bioavailability - your body can use it faster and easier.* UBQH has been demonstrated to increase plasma levels of total CoQ10 up to 62.*
UBQH is a breakthrough - a stabilized form of reduced CoQ10. Until now, reduced Q10 wasn't stable in supplemental form. UBQH uses patented processing that prevents oxidation and ensures a stable supplement.
Coenzyme Q10, or CoQ10, is dynamically cycled between two stable states: ubiquinone, the fully oxidized (energy supporting) state that shuttles electrons, and ubiquinol, the fully reduced (antioxidant) state that releases electrons.*
While ubiquinol has more bioactive properties than ubiquinone, it is an extremely unstable compound and converts to CoQ10 upon exposure to light or oxygen. 1
New research has led to the development of a method to stabilize ubiquinol. UBQH contains KanekaQH, patented, stabilized, active ubiquinol, clinical demonstrated to have greater bioactivity than CoQ10.2 In scientific studies, supplementation with stable ubiquinol resulted in greater sustained plasma levels of active form of CoQ10 (ubiquinol) over ubiquinone.* It was also shown to enhance energy and stamina 5 fold over baseline and to improve glucose metabolism in test animals.*
**Total CoQ10 measurement consists of the sum of both ubiquinone and ubiquinol levels. For most people, the Total CoQ10 measurement is approximately 97% ubiquinol and 3% ubiquinone.
CoQ10, an essential component of cellular energy production, was first isolated from beef heart mitochondria in 1957 by Frederick Crane, PhD at the University of Wisconsin Enzyme Institute.3 In 1958, a team of researchers at Merck Pharmaceuticals led by Karl Folkers, PhD determined the precise chemical structure of CoQ10 (2,3 dimethoxy-5 methyl-6 decaprenyl benzoquinone), synthesized it, and successfully produced it by fermentation.4 That same year, another team of scientists led by RA Morton, PhD isolated the same substance from mitochondria and named it ubiquinone because of its widespread (ubiquitous) occurrence in nature.5
In the late 1970s, CoQ10 research dramatically increased as the technology to produce large quantities of pure CoQ10 was perfected and the ability to accurately measure its presence in blood and tissue samples was developed. To date, CoQ10 has been the subject of more than 4,000 studies, eleven international conferences, and, in 1978, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. British biochemist Peter Mitchell, PhD was awarded the Nobel Prize for his contribution to the understanding of biological energy transfer which includes the vital role of CoQ10 in energy transfer systems.6
This large body of evidence has established that CoQ10 supplementation can improve cell energy production and extend cell life by enhancing cellular mitochondrial levels of CoQ10, thus supporting all physical systems, including support of cardiac, neurological, periodontal, skin, and immune health.*
It has also been previously demonstrated (through research utilizing Integrative Therapeutics, Inc.'s Vitaline CoQ10) that supplementation coenzyme Q10 raises serum and mitochondrial levels of CoQ10, thereby supporting healthy cellular respiration.*
Most of the cells in the human body contain mitochondria, small organelles that make adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy-rich compound that fuels the body's activities. The synthesis of ATP within the mitochondria is a highly complex, multi-stepped process involving a series of biochemical reactions called the electron transport chain.7 7As ATP cannot be stored, it must be replaced as it is used. This means that ATP production is an ongoing event. While ATP can be produced by a number of distinct cellular processes, the majority of ATP is generated by the electron transport chain.*7,8
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a natural nutrient that's found in the mitochondria. Called a coenzyme because of its unique ability to participate in chemical reactions and remain unchanged, CoQ10 assists in two vital cellular activities: ATP production and free radical scavenging.* 7 To carry out these activities, mitochondrial CoQ10 continuously cycles from ubiquinone, its ATP production state, to ubiquinol, its antioxidant free radical scavenging state.*9
As previously stated, the generation of ATP within the electron transport chain is a complex process. Each step results in the building up of energy. Ubiquinone contributes to ATP production by the shuttling or transporting of electrons.10 Similar to people in a bucket brigade passing buckets of water to one another, ubiquinone passes electrons from one enzyme complex to another. To meet the considerable energy needs of cellular activities, the electron transport chain makes considerable quantities of ATP.*6
The electron transport chain also creates an enormous amount of free radicals about 1 trillion oxygen radicals per cell every day.* Most of these oxygen radicals are contained within the membrane folds of the mitochondria; however, about two percent are able to get free, generating toxins that present a significant danger to the entire cell.*11-13The antioxidant form of CoQ10, ubiquinol, scavenges free radicals within the mitochondria and cell membranes. 1
While free radical formation is harmful to all cells, it is especially dangerous to cells with high biologic activity, such as heart and brain cells.* The highest concentration of CoQ10 is found in cardiovascular (heart) and nervous system (brain) cells to protect their vital functions.* 9,10Ubiquinol is such an important antioxidant, primarily because it is present at sites where free radicals inflict significant damage.* 1,4,6
While more than 90 percent of the CoQ10 found in a healthy person's plasma is in its reduced form, ubiquinol is highly unstable and reverts back to CoQ10 when it is exposed to air and light. This is why, until very recently, only ubiquinone has been available in supplement form. The process of stabilizing ubiquinol outside of the body took several years to test and perfect.4 The ubiquinol in UBQH, patented KanekaQH, is the world's only ubiquinol supplement.15
The KanekaQH in UBQH has the innate ability to be absorbed more efficiently than ubiquinone.* While supplemental CoQ10 must be cycled to ubiquinol for absorption, the KanekaQH in UBQH is able to avoid this reduction reaction as it is already in the reduced state.* UBQH is especially helpful for those individuals whose DNA cannot properly process CoQ10 or those that are experiencing a natural decline in CoQ10 production associated with aging.*
[Buy Now]
When individuals have substandard plasma levels of (total) CoQ10, less than 2.0=g/ml, CoQ10 supplementation frequently fails to provide an adequate therapeutic response, even at doses up to 900mg/day.*16,17Many individuals respond poorly, if at all. A study by Watson demonstrated a mean plasma CoQ10 level of only 1.7 =g/ml in the treatment group with only two of 30 patients having a level greater than 2.0 =g/ml.16 The Khatta trial demonstrated a mean plasma CoQ10 level of 2.2±1.2 =g/ml indicating that some patients on treatment had levels as low as 1.0 =g/ml.17
A recent clinical study of seven adult men and women with low serum CoQ10 levels (mean level 1.4 =g/ml) and corresponding left ventricular output decreases investigated their response to Kaneka QH supplementation. After three months, the subjects experienced a 24 to 50 percent increase in their left ventricular output and in some individuals, a tripling of their ubiquinol levels (mean serum levels 4.1 =g/ml).*18
In an evaluation of energy (calculated as time to fatigue) in an animal model, older animals received placebo, CoQ10, and ubiquinol in a crossover study. Running times were measured in each group. When the animals received ubiquinol running times were prolonged 150 fold versus placebo.* Increases during the CoQ10 supplementation period did not reach statistical significance.*19
In an experiment which used an animal model of aging, ubiquinol supplementation was associated with healthier aging (as determined by skin, eye, skeletal and general health) in comparison to aging in the both the CoQ10 and control group.* The control group in this experiment experienced double the senescence scores in mid-life when compared to the ubiquinol group, while the CoQ10 supplemented group had senescence scores approximately 1.5 times as high as the ubiquinol group.*19 Increased senescence scores are an indication of the signs of aging.*
As previously noted, ubiquinol outside of the body is not stable, and quickly converts back to CoQ10 in the presence of oxygen. Therefore, its potential use as an oral supplement has been limited. A patented process to prevent ubiquinol from oxidizing has now been developed.15UBQH features this stabilized form of ubiquinol, in an exclusive softgel capsule. This product remains shelf-stable to deliver potent ubiquinol, and has been demonstrated to significantly raise serum levels of CoQ10.*21
The safety, absorption, and bioavailability of ubiquinol have been well-established. Results to date have found that intake of active ubiquinol is associated with total serum CoQ10 (ubiquinone plus ubiquinol) levels at least 2 times higher than oxidized CoQ10.*22 Acute toxicity and safety studies of ubiquinol including genotoxicity tests, Ames, chromosome, and micronucleus tests have all been negative.21
In a recent placebo-controlled safety trial, single doses of Kaneka QH were given to 15 healthy volunteers (5 males and 5 females for the 150mg dose and 5 males for the 300mg dose). No safety concerns were noted, no changes in standard laboratory tests were observed, and no adverse events were reported in doses of up to 300mg for up to two weeks after the study's completion. In the bioavailability arm of the study, 78 healthy volunteers (10 males and 8 females each for placebo, 90 mg, 150mg, and 300 mg dose groups) received Kaneka QH for 4-weeks. No clinically relevant changes induced by Kaneka QH were noted in the subjects' standard laboratory tests, physical examination, vital signs, or electrocardiograph (ECG) readings in any dosage group.*23
Kaneka QH in UBQH is the same form of CoQ10 that is present in over 90 percent of the human bloodstream. Requiring no conversion from ubiquinone to ubiquinol, UBQH is ready to support nervous system and cardiovascular health. As supplemental CoQ10 must be cycled to ubiquinol for absorption, Kaneka QH in UBQH is already reduced and is able to avoid this reduction reaction. To date, the Kaneka QH in UBQH is the only ubiquinol supplement on the market. Representing a huge scientific discovery, UBQH can provide significant support for human health.*

Ubiquinol is the active form of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10, also called ubiquinone). Stable ubiquinol has been scientifically shown to increase energy and stamina, enhance healthy blood glucose metabolism, and support healthy aging.*
It is difficult to make an direct comparison between ubiquinone (regular CoQ10) and ubiquinol (the form of CoQ10 in UBQH) because some people process regular CoQ10 better than others. However, research shows an increase in plasma levels of total CoQ10 up to 62% higher than traditional CoQ10 supplementation.*1
The ubiquinol is derived from yeast fermentation. The material undergoes extensive purification processing, including extraction and filtration steps that remove all yeast proteins generally associated with yeast allergies.
UBQH, which was first to market (March 2006) in the US, is formulated with an exclusive, patented (Patent #7,105,709) form of ubiquinol. UBQH is the only brand of clinically studied ubiquinol available.
Most healthy adults in their 20s and 30s can easily metabolize CoQ10 and convert it into ubiquinol; thus, supplementing with CoQ10 will likely be the most efficient way to raise ubiquinol levels.* For individuals who are 40+ or looking for additional support, UBQH is more beneficial since the body's ability to produce CoQ10 and convert it into ubiquinol is diminished.* Because UBQH is pre-converted, it is ready for immediate use by the body, making it ideal for those unable to efficiently metabolize CoQ10 in the body.*
Ubiquinol is the active form of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10, also called ubiquinone). Stable ubiquinol has been scientifically shown to increase energy and stamina, enhance healthy blood glucose metabolism, and support healthy aging.*
It is difficult to make a direct comparison between ubiquinone (regular CoQ10) and ubiquinol (the form of CoQ10 in UBQH) because some people process regular CoQ10 better than others.

55 reviews for Creation Lab
the chocolate is such amazing quality and I love the whole experience. Thank you Chocolab!
Yum freakin Oh gulped it down in one go chocolate was surprisingly good being a Cadbury man for 60 yrs I found it was not bad. Of course I put on my childhood favorite musk sticks, malteaser balls raspberries if not sure give it a go
This company is the best thing since sliced bread! The chocolate is to die for and the ingredients list is everything you could ever dream of!
Just recieved my 4th order which I got specially for my birthday, it's the only thing I wanted 🙂
As a chocoholic this is a dream come true! Have told everyone I know about it, cannot recommend highly enough!
I had dark chocolate with pretzel, freeze dried strawberry and mini marshmallows. It looked great and tasted even better 😛
Beautiful chocolate, fabulous ingredients. Having to have a lot of self-control to not eat it all at once!
Yum with a capital YUM 🙂
Like silk in the mouth, and very addictive.
I've had a few different creation blocks and oh my gosh. So amazing and creamy, best ingredients. Only thing I wish is that as soon as you ordered it'd magically show up haha. Can't wait for the smash cakes
I ordered Creation Lab bars for my loved ones for Christmas and they loved them! It was a fun experience too 🙂
I love Chocolab! It is so great to be able to make your own creations. The chocolate itself is delicious and there are so many topping options to choose from. I got some made as Christmas presents and they went down a treat. Didn't even last the day!
Love your chocolate, the service is excellent. Will definitely keep ordering. Thank you so much
It's simply excellent. I used to hate chocolate, but now I LOVE everything chocolab. Chocolab's dark chocolate with hazelnuts, acai berries and Turkish delight has become my post workout snack. It's INCREDIBLE!! Highly recommend this chocolate
Best chocolate i've had in a long time! I love all the options and the personalisation! I also love that you have different payment options and postage. So happy with my order and definitely plan to buy more!
This was so much fun! The quality of the chocolate block is amazing, and not to mention the range of toppings!!! Will definitely be creating again!
I was last minute this year with my Easter gifts, however the team at Chocolab were awesome! They were fast with their responses, despite not having an actual shop front, the team at Chocolab were able to use social media and promptly send me my order which everyone loved! The products that Chocolab produce are outstanding and delicious! The best thing is that Chocolab caters for all tastes and budgets. Thanks again for making Easter 2016 a great one for our family 🙂
The kids loved being able to create their own chocolate blocks. Spencer was so incredibly helpful with the order process and very quick to respond to my emails. They even threw in a couple chocolate covered Oreos as a bonus, which were delicious. Will be ordering again!
Taste is amazing, delivery was quick, customer service was brilliant. So impressed with chocolab!
I've my custom made block. The Belguim chocolate is delicious. A first class product.
I loved my custom made block. The Belguim chocolate is delicious. A first class product.
I loved my custom made block. The Belgium chocolate is delicious. A first class product.
Excellent service, fantastic product. My sister was thrilled with her chocolate bar. Thank you 🙂
So delicious and shipping is super fast cant wait for new toppings to be launched just to have the excuse to order again haha
Put my order in .Then we got a box
opened the chocolate and went wow looks amazing .toppings are
great .Will order soon .
Put my order in on Monday and received my box of goodies today. Quick service and it was easy to follow the instructions. Took a look at what we got and they look amazing. Thanks for the fun. Will order again from Chocolab in the future
Such delicious chocolate and so much fun making them! They have a wide range of things to choose from which is great! I definitely recommend
A great selection of options to choose from! Perfect gift that I could create for vegans – thank you
Great present idea, and the chocolate arrived in perfect condition with no melting despite the summer heat. I will definitely order again! Thank you
Thank you! All our clients loved the chocolate and it was a unique way for us to say Merry Christmas. We may of had had a couple of blocks too, couldn't resist!
I customised a chocolate bar for my mum as a Christmas present and she loved it! It was well packed, and did not arrive melted or misshapen in any way! Mum said it tasted really nice too! Will definitely order again 🙂
Thank you so much.
Very quick delivery to FNQ (Cairns) and the chocolate was in perfect condition not even melted one bit! My partner loved it. Would defiantly be using this company again.
Boyfriend loved his custom block, combined with some dark chocolate drops and a heart chocolate pop, it was a fantastic Valentines present.
Got creative and ordered some custom chocolate bars for Valentines day. Great care went into packing our order to ensure the bars arrived safely – bubble wrapped and packed with an ice pack to ensure they didn't melt in the summer heat. I wish I could include photos in this review so I could show how great they looked! Definitely recommend ordering from chocolabs!
My partner absolutely loved his custom chocolate bar that I gifted him for Valentines day. Even with the incredibly hot weather, the bar arrived beautifully intact and was truly delicious. We highly recommend the milk chocolate bar with Nutella and Oreo pieces. Thanks again Chocolab!
Fantastic customer service and such yummy chocolate!! Will defiantly be ordering some more!! Thank you so much
My boyfriend loved his custom made blocks for Valentines Day! Customer service is amazing and the chocolate is delish! Thanks so so much, will be ordering some more!
Was easy to create the chocolate bar and the person I sent it to absolutely loved it. Its a great idea!
Love love love! Bought 4 bars and they all arrived in tact not melted and were absolutely delicious! The package was delivered to NT in 40 degree heat but upon opening the box you could not tell. I will be shopping Chocolab again and so will a lot of my friends. Thank you Chocolab!
The chocolate was so delicious! Came packaged well and all perfectly intact. I've somehow managed to ration it over a number of weeks and it's been super fun trying each different flavour that I created. I bought mine all for myself (no shame) but I'd definitely buy again in future as a great customised gift for someone else.
the base chocolate is very good and it is so much fun selecting your own ingredients
Highly recommend to everyone, everyone enjoyed my gift. Customer service was fast in rectifying order when it was wrong
I ordered 3 bars, one of each base with tiny teddies, turkish delight and others. They arrived in Tasmania in 2 days and the recipient adored them. The emoji's are a nice touch too! Absolutely first class!!
I love that you can create whatever your personal tastes are using quality ingredients!!!
This is my favourite chocolate shop!!!!
My two customised blocks were fantastic. My only slight gripe is that I couldn't find enough minty things to add to my minty milk block – any chance you could add busted up Peppermint Crips bars, or strong mints of some kind? Apart from that, the two bars are delicious. Thanks for offering such a fantastic service.
My sister absolutely loved the bar I created for her birthday! Filled with our favourite childhood treats as well as a suitably embarrassing photo, it was perfect! And it arrived so quickly and in perfect condition!
This is the third time I have ordered from Chocolab and I could not recommend it highly enough!
Tasted great, looked amazing!
My partner was so happy with her chocolate – it was lots of fun designing it to have all her favourite toppings. And the chocolate itself is absolutely delicious. I am debating about ordering some more for myself haha

|A church.
|In the shopping center.
|Trees, trees, trees.
|A gazebo in Templeton Center.
|Now that is an awesome paint job.
|Talk about a change in scenery!
|A side street in downtown Gardner.
Ridership: Wow, this route's ridership has gone down quite a lot over time. In 2014, the route got 25,522 people per year, or around 105 per day. That's gone down to 13,883 people in 2017, equalling about 58 people per day. Ouch! Granted, in 2014, the route went all the way out to Orange, so maybe eliminating that section lost riders? I'm not sure if it's enough to cut the people in half, though. Our trip, incidentally, got one other person.
Pros: This route is direct and highly necessary. It gets a lot of usage from students commuting to MWCC from Athol, but it's also just a really important link - it's Athol's one connection towards Boston (eventually). Using one bus, the route runs every 90 minutes weekdays only, which makes sense - we're not exactly in the city here.
Cons: OH, YOU MEAN OTHER THAN THE HORRIBLE EXCUSE OF A VEHICLE THAT THAT LEAKY, DISGUSTING, NOISY TRASHBUCKET TRUCK MINIBUS WAS??!?!?!?!??! Well, it just doesn't get a lot of people, and I don't quite know why that is. Perhaps ridership would increase if buses were extended to Orange Center, but they would have to run every two hours if that happened, which isn't optimal.
Nearby and Noteworthy: Take your pick: a depressing big city (Gardner) or a depressing small town (Athol). I'll take Athol, personally - at least it has trees and stuff.
Final Verdict: 5/10
It's too bad this route gets so few people, because I think it's a rather good one. Athol needs that connection to the outside world because it's such an isolated place, and I wish more people would take advantage of this direct trip to Gardner. Maybe it's because it's only every hour and a half. Maybe it's because it doesn't go to Orange. Or MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE IT WAS USING THE WORST BUS EVER ARAHGEHAEIEOMKLMGMGAELMLKMG!!!!!

Sacraments are those outward actions, signs and rites that, through God's promises, point to a deeper, spiritual reality.
Our life in community at Saint Mark's is centered around the Sacraments of the Church. The Prayer Book teaches that a sacrament is an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace. There are many ways in which God's grace is imparted to us, but seven have been traditionally called sacraments.
The first two are known as Dominical Sacraments because they were directly instituted by Jesus Christ through his own action and command.
Before he returned to heaven, Jesus instructed his disciples to "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them int he name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you." (Matthew 28:19-20)
Baptism is the Sacrament of the Church in which we accept salvation from sin and reconciliation with God by participation in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Baptism is also often referred to as Christian Initiation since by the Holy Spirit one becomes a member of the Christian Church at Baptism. It is the door through which one enters into full membership and participation in the Church of Christ. It is important to remember that one is baptized a Christian not an Episcopalian, Baptist, Methodist or Roman Catholic.
Children as well as adults are baptized in the Episcopal Church, a practice that dates back to the earliest days in Christian history, Regardless of age, all are children in the faith, growing "into the fullness of the stature of Christ." If baptism is the door, then the Church provides a path to follow, through Christian education, fellowship and worship. Sponsors or Godparents as well as the whole family of God are committed to do all in their power to support those who are baptized in their life in Christ. (Prayer Book, page 303).
On the night before he died for us, Jesus gave his disciples a new meaning for the symbols of the Passover, declaring that from then on, the bread would be become, in some real way, his own body and the wine his own blood. He then gave them a command that they should, "Do this in remembrance of me." (Luke 22:19)
The Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist (Greek for "thanksgiving") is the means whereby baptized Christians receive their spiritual nourishment. It is the central act of worship of the Christian community and one of the most profound ways in which God shares with us, and we with one another, the hope of the resurrection.
All baptized Christians are welcome to receive Communion at Saint Mark's altar. Some churches require membership in order to receive Communion, believing the Sacrament to be a sign of unity with their their denomination or even their individual congregation. In the Episcopal Church, we believe that Communion is a sign of the unity of the Church that Christ envisioned when he prayed "that they may become completely one." (John 17:23)
When communicants, because of sickness or other reasonable cause,cannot be present for extended periods of time, requests to the clergy can be made for the celebration of the Eucharist at home or in the hospital. Communicants are encouraged to have friends or relatives present to receive Communion with them.
There are five additional Sacramental Rites that, though they were not ordained by Christ himself, have grown from the experience of the Church through its two thousand year history. Though available to all Christians, individuals may or may not be called to each of these Sacraments.
In the beginning of the Church's history, newly baptized Christians were immediately presented to the Bishop for the sealing of the Baptism by annointing with oil and laying on of hands. As the Church grew, the authority to baptize was delegated to the Presbyters (Priests) of the Church. After a period of additional preparation and at the convenience of the Bishop, the Christian was presented to him for the laying on of hands.
Confirmation is the sacramental rite in which mature members of the Episcopal Church take upon themselves the vows made on their behalf at the time of their baptism and accept responsibility as responsible adult members of the Church.
Classes in preparation for Confirmation are scheduled for adults and for young people who are ready to take this step. The adult classes are also open to anyone wishing to learn about the Episcopal Church and for members who would like a refresher course on being an Episcopalian.
Healing has long been a part of Christian ministry and is biblically commended. Special healing services are held regularly at the Cathedral, and the clergy frequently anoint and pray with those who are ill. Unction is not only provided for healing of the body, but healing of the soul.
Our lives as Christians do not end when the body dies. The Order for the Burial of the Dead is at once a solemn and festive celebration. The burial service for an active member of the Christian community should always take place in the Parish church or at the graveside. Burial or cremation are both in keeping with the Church's teaching.
RECONCILIATION (also called Penance or Confession):
As Episcopalians, we make our confession during most worship services and we receive priestly absolution (the assurance of God's forgiveness). There are times, however, when people desire to make a specific confession, and a Prayer Book service is provided which may take place either in an informal or a formal setting. There is an old Anglican adage regarding private confession: "All may. Some should. None must."
Scripture is clear that none of us are without sin. As part of the Eucharistic celebration, we collectively confess our sins and receive absolution. The Dean is also available to hear private confession.
A man and a women are joined together within the community of the Christian family, pledge faithfulness to one another, and receive God's blessing pronounced by a priest of the church.
Holy Matrimony is the Christian Sacrament in which a man and a woman seek God's blessing on the union of their marriage. Clergy will inform the couple of the customs and requirements of the Episcopal Church and Saint Mark's Pro-Cathedral.
The setting apart by the church of men and women called to serve as deacons, priests, or bishops is commonly referred to as ordination. Only a bishop can ordain, and three bishops are required for the consecration of another bishop.

Farm Bill- Policy Issues
Dan Friedman reported earlier this week at the New York Daily News Online that, "Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and 71 other congressional Democrats are asking the agriculture secretary to delay a new law cutting food stamps for hundreds of thousands of Americans.
"'Our states need time to adjust their policies to accommodate this drastic cut and roll out the changes seamlessly,' the lawmakers say in a letter they plan to send Tuesday to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.
"Gillibrand lined up the lawmakers to sign off on the letter, which asks Vilsack to delay until next fall a provision in the massive farm bill Congress passed this month that cuts $8 billion in food stamp aid."

Kingdom Practice
Week 4
Last night we waded deeply into Jesus' invitation to forgive our brother or sister from our heart. Through the wonderful and difficult story of The Unmerciful Servant (Matt 18:21-35), we asked God to show us (1) Who do I need to forgive?, and (2) What is my next right step of forgiveness? And like God always does, He met us in our stumbling steps toward Him. Hallelujah.
But we all know that forgiveness doesn't often happen in an instant, but through a long, messy, Grace-powered process. Jesus taught that we should forgive our neighbor 70 x 7 times, and that doesn't happen in one Sunday night service. So our practice this week is to begin to become people committed to a lifetime of forgiveness. Let's take the small, practical steps right now that align us with God's Kingdom of grace, letting it go, and second chances.
Here is our specific practice for the week: Hearing from God through another person. "Friend, do you see any unforgiveness in my life? Who would you say I still need to forgive?" And then taking the next right step toward forgiveness.
The Journey of Forgiving.
One time this week, get together with a trusted friend and ask the wide open questions: "Friend, do you see any unforgiveness in my life? Who would you say I still need to forgive?" And then listen humbly. What is your friend reflecting back to you? Is he/she seeing a pattern with someone that you haven't seen? What is God doing in your heart through this conversation?
The following day, bring the conversation to God in prayer and ask "God, what is the next right step of forgiveness you want me to take?"
Four steps we walked through on Sunday…
Feel. Do you simply need to let yourself feel the pain of being hurt/betrayed? Is it time to stop running, avoiding, or denying that you were hurt, and honestly feel it. Remember that you are not alone.
Stop. Or maybe you've been feeling the pain deeply and clearly, and it's time to stop fighting and attacking the person who hurt you. To commit to not say a single bad word about them…or to them? Maybe it is time to pray "God, I officially lay down my right to revenge or justice, and place this person in your hands."
Pray. As you feel the pain deeply and yet refuse to fight back, God may be inviting you into the next step: Praying for your "enemy" (Matt 5:43-48), and blessing those who curse you (Luke 6:28). Putting these words of Jesus into practice is one of the most difficult and freeing things we can do.
Serve. Finally, as Kellye suggested last night, what is one way we tangibly serve those we are forgiving? This will look different for every person in every situation, but what is one thing you can do to bless and serve them? (I talked to a couple friends last night who feel God inviting them to forgive someone who is no longer living. In this case, what is one tangible action you can take to remember and honor their life?)

Lurking underwater off the sandy shores of Cancun is a 400-strong army of cement sculptures, the largest submerged museum in the world. Sculptor Jason de Caires Taylor designed this submarine attraction for the MUSA (Museo Subacuático de Arte) in Cancun to highlight natural ecological processes and explore the relationships that exist between art and the environment.
Each of the sculptures is made from 'specialised materials' (sorry that's the most detailed information I could get from the google-translated Spanish press release!) that promote coral life which will lead to an artificial reef. This will attract marine life whilst offering the viewer privileged temporal encounters governed by the growing coral and shifting sand; the work changing from moment to moment.
The equivalent installation on land would provide a quite different optical and physical experience due to the dramatic difference in the number of angles and perspectives available and due to the unique properties of water. Jason de Caires Taylor describes the experience as being
'Vastly different from that of being on land. Objects appear twenty five percent larger underwater, and as a consequence they also appear closer. Colours alter as light is absorbed and reflected at different rates, with the depth of the water affecting this further. The light source in water is from the surface, this produces kaleidoscopic effects governed by water movement, currents and turbulence.'
The installation weighs over 180 tonnes in total and occupies an area of over 420 square metres of barren sea bed. In time, marine life will grow and develop and, with it, the sculpture will evolve and come to life. It will be interesting to look back at these sculptures in a few months time as I imagine they will look dramatically different and infinitely more beautiful.
Below is a little glimpse into the future; a photo from one of Taylor's past projects that has had time to engage with its new environment.

NGO goes Nollywood
By Frankie Edozien
, Nigeria
When "Living in Bondage," a film about a man who sacrifices his wife to gain wealth, only to repent when her ghost haunts him—gripped Nigerian audiences in 1992—it ignited the creative juices of artists here.
A lot has changed since that movie (which sold over 750,000 videocassettes) came out. Once upon a time there was virtually no filmmaking in the country, and now one million plus people are employed by it.
Nollywood productions are seen all over the continent like Bollywood offerings and Hollywood blockbusters, with an estimated 2,000 films made annually.
But even with its explosive growth, the themes of its bestsellers have remained constant.
Witchcraft or 'juju' in local parlance, and cultism are heavy favorites, reflecting get-rich quick schemes to explain how folks go from being poor to living like millionaires in a short amount of time.
For years, Sandra Mbanefo Obiago, the founder of the nonprofit organization Communicating for Change has sought to use Nigerians love of drama and entertainment to influence their behavior.
Obiago has produced internationally acclaimed documentaries that focus on female mechanics—Nigeria's leading women market traders known as 'Cash Madams,'—as well as programs promoting democracy and good governance.
View this movie at cultureunplugged.com
Recently, she began collaborating with Nollywood directors.
"Documentaries reach a certain segment of the population but not everyone is attracted to documentaries, so halfway through we said lets try and be more popular, she explained in CFC's offices tucked away on a quiet street in Ikeja, a commercial hub that is 10 miles northwest of Lagos.
In 2002, CFC produced an attention grabbing 52-part radio drama on conflict resolution, exam fraud, cultism, health education and other topics relative to Nigeria.
Their method is simple.
CFC produces programming that shines a light on Nigerians behavior and uses research data to illustrate the country's problems.
When HIV/AIDS began to severely impact Nigerian youth, CFC produced seven dramas based on the experiences of young people in the oil producing Bayelsa State.
Many natives dealt with navigating safe sex issues on college campuses, unplanned pregnancies in which young fathers disappear, and the severity of not seeking HIV counseling after engaging in unsafe sex.
"The films are a synthesis of the research. Everything that came into the film you can trace it back to something someone said in the field, explains Obiago." That link with the audience, what works, what doesn't, what is believable and what is not has been a big factor in our success."
When U.N. statistics showed that Nigeria had the second highest rate of maternal mortality in the world with an estimated 144 women dying daily from pregnancy-related complications, CFC embarked on its most ambitious project yet.
They brought in health experts and screenwriters and took all of them to a seaside resort for some solitude and brainstorming, and from that meeting three issues emerged.
The cultural barriers for seeking treatment include complications of early marriages; getting the husband's permission to go to a hospital and indecision as to when to seek prenatal care.
The idea was to teach screenwriters how to produce dramas using research findings on safe motherhood.
"It was now up to them to find out how do we pull all of this information together and come up with a fantastic script, not just to inform people or educate people but also to entertain them," said Bolaji Fati, a producer with CFC.
Three shorter films were produced and a 90-minute feature is in development. All were screened in December 2009 at the Silverbird Cinemas in Lagos.
The production got a boost when Nigeria's widely known and highest paid director, Teco Benson, agreed to direct two installments pro bono.
Benson is known for the horror movie "Six Demons" and his hit "Mission to Nowhere."
"I was attracted by the topic and the credibility of CFC," Benson, former head of the Association of Movie Producers. (AMP), said.
He said his own interest in public health made him accept the job even though he had a big project on hand.
"They have really done works that touch on virtually all works of life. And the amazing thing is that they spend a lot of time and resources in research with a view to educating the viewers and changing their bad attitudes," the director added.
CFC's maternal mortality project was made using some funds from the New York based Ford Foundation.
In February, at least 60 of the100 TV station executives saw the films. CFC is providing the series to them for a nominal fee (about $300). The stations will air the works repeatedly next year. TV stations rarely commission their own work.
Silverbird Cinemas, the largest movie chain in sub-Saharan Africa, is supporting the project by airing them in its cinemas as previews to its main events. Its television arm will air them.
Even with the 100 TV stations and close to 5,000 cinema screens CFC keeps looking for means to get its message out.
It has partnered with luxury bus companies that transport the bulk of Nigerians from city to city and provides DVDs or videocassettes to drivers to screen the films.
"The whole point is that we are trying to be popular, we are trying to reach out to the grassroots, we are trying to use visual language that is understood," Obiago said.
Going forward, CFC has signed agreements to have its films translated and broadcast in East Africa and marketed elsewhere as they try to change attitudes around the continent.

Strengthening cooperation in key areas of trade and defence, including a possible inking of a multi-million dollar Israeli anti-tank missiles deal, is on the table during the visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from Sunday, with its envoy today terming Indo- Israel ties as irreversible.
Israeli Ambassador to India Daniel Carmon also downplayed India's stand at the United Nations General Assembly over the US decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in place of Tel Aviv, saying New Delhi's view "cannot influence" Indo-Israel ties.
India, last month, had joined 127 other countries to vote in the United Nations General Assembly in favour of a resolution opposing the recent decision of US President Donald Trump to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Netanyahu will be on a six-day visit to India starting Sunday, during which he will hold comprehensive talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
During his stay, he will also visit Gujarat and Mumbai.
Without going into the contours of a possible agreement for Israeli Spike missiles, Carmon said the Spike project is an example of "Israeli engaging in Make in India" because it can be implemented through partnership between an Israeli company and Indian company.
In November, the defence ministry had decided to retract the process to acquire a batch of Spike missiles from Israeli firm Rafael Advanced Defence Systems. Now, it is learnt that the government is considering buying the missiles through G- to-G route.
Carmon said apart from top Israeli officials, a delegation of 130 businessmen will accompany Netanyahu during his visit.

My biggest takeaway from 16 is that LA truly suck at home and Alessandrini is the MVP. Moving on we have SKC's defense is legit (but that attack needs to pull it together) and ATL is going to the Eastern Conference Finals if not all the way to the MLS Cup.
Boy did I almost nail that ATL-CLB scoreline. If not for some glorious goal keeping from Kann it would've probably ended 3-2. Had Martinez started, that game ends with even more goals. Martinez is back, which is good for everyone on Atlanta and makes Atlanta a must-have in the upcoming DGW.
SKC wasn't as nice to me score wise, but you were a happy camper if you listened to me. Feilhaber still finished with 6 points and both defenses came away with clean sheets. It doesn't get much better than that.
Bold Record: 6-6-5
Bold Predictions Round 17
Atlanta United Take all 3 and Rake in the Fantasy Points
Martinez is back. Almiron's swagger is back and Atlanta United's attack is back to the most exciting in the league. Both Colorado and DC United aren't ready for what's coming. Colorado may have loads of "spirit" and "fight" but it won't be enough come this round. Buy in on Atlanta's attack and if you're scared to go all in on the attack pick up a defender or two. The Bold Prediction here isn't that they will win both games (I'm pretty confident about that) it's that they're going to obliterate both opponents.
Bold Predictions
Result: ATL 4-1 DCU, COL 1-3 ATL
My Picks: Martinez ($9.4) is at a criminally low price point and his return makes Almiron ($9.7) and Asad ($8.4) incredibly valuable as well.
LA Galaxy Fix Road Firm
LA Galaxy have shown they can score as long as they have Alessandrini and will continue to score this weekend. A road game against Colorado won't be an issue. The home game against SKC will be a bit more tricky however. I believe in Alessandrini so everyone needs to keep the faith. The question will be whether or not their defense can come through.
Bold Predictions
Result: COL 2-1 LA, LA 1-0
My Picks: Alessandrini ($10.3) is essentially a must-have on all fantasy teams DGW or not. If you're interested in some cheaper options I'd give Boateng ($6.1) a look. He's cheap and if you've ever watched him play he's one of the most dangerous players on this LA team. Without Dos Santos look at Boateng to pick up some slack.
As always please come at me in the comment section or on twitter (@tbartels12)! I'm more than happy to be your punching bag as you weep over the fact that I was right and you were wrong.

By Martin Burns – Business Owner – Martin Burns Bedroom Furnishings
I'm very happy with the install and service. My system has more electricity saving than initially presented. The system is performing well with no issues or concerns at all. I've mentioned the results to friends and family members. I feel I should have installed solar years ago.
My previous bill was around $1200, no it's averaging at$300 after solar. Repayments approximately $800.
By Phil D–Kelmscott, Owner of a 15kW system
Very happy with the install team, quick and efficient. My neighbour had solar installed years ago, but his installers took two weeks to finish, while my system only took 2 days.
Best savings, used to be normally $1200 a bill, after solar, only got $300. The system performing well with no issues.
By Neville D–Kelmscott, Owner of a 15kW system
The solar system is performing perfectly, saving approximately $1000 a power bill on average.

"If you are thinking a year ahead, sow a seed.
If you are thinking ten years ahead, plant a tree.
If you are thinking one hundred years ahead, educate the people."
Throughout its 60-year history Congregation Sinai has been known as a warm and welcoming community whose members and children have actively participated in all aspects of synagogue life. Congregation Sinai has also served as spiritual home to many of our community's Jewish leaders. This remarkable community was not built overnight. Its strength and vitality are testament to the warm hearts and dedication of its members, but it is also thanks to the thoughtful planning of our founders and leaders over the years, and to the generosity of earlier generations that we stand today as a vibrant hub of Jewish life in Silicon Valley, financially and spiritually strong.
Now it is our turn to plan for the future. It is our turn to assure that our children and grandchildren will be able to enjoy this wonderful synagogue for decades to come, after we are gone. It is our turn to be both thoughtful and generous and to envision the ways in which we can contribute to the long-term sustainability of our congregation.
Working in conjunction with nine local community synagogues and Jewish agencies, the Silicon Valley Jewish Federation has recently embarked on a program to create the development of legacy giving programs. Each of these agencies provides a mechanism for families, individuals and trusts to designate a portion of their estates for the benefit of one or more local Jewish institutions. Congregation Sinai has joined this program as part of our efforts to plan effectively for the future, and we encourage you to consider participating by designating a percentage of your assets or a fixed amount as a bequest to the synagogue.
Whether you are a once-a-year synagogue attendee or are so involved that you sometimes feel as if you live at Congregation Sinai, you can help secure the financial stability of our community in the years ahead through this simple process.

iStock/Thinkstock(SAN DIEGO) -- There's a new reason for people in their 50s and 60s to keep a close watch on their blood pressure: hypertension may be linked to an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease.
Scientists with the VA San Diego Healthcare System say that middle-age people with a high systolic number -- or the top number in a blood pressure reading -- tend to have biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease in their spinal fluid.
The researchers based their findings on studies of people ages 55 and 100 with no symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
Those in the 55-70 age group with high blood pressure were found to have more plaques and tangles in their cerebral spinal fluid than people with lower pulse pressure.
Studies have shown plaque buildups in the brain are indicative of Alzheimer's disease.
Lead author Daniel A. Nation added, "High blood pressure in middle age is a better predictor of later problems with memory and thinking skills and loss of brain cells than high blood pressure in old age."

The Retirement Village Lifestyle
Choosing the village that meets your needs and expectations can help enrich your quality of life and enable you to pursue your future lifestyle aspirations.
A retirement village offers a fantastic lifestyle to those who want to live independently whilst enjoying the benefits that a retirement village can provide. People can enjoy the retirement village lifestyle whether they are 55 or 90 years of age. Retirement villages are located in prime areas which maybe beside the sea, near a golf course or in the heart of the city.
The term 'Retirement Village", covers an ever increasing variety of accommodation and services for people over 55 years of age. There are many different types of retirement villages available to choose from. Villages can have an emphasis on 'lifestyle' with resort-style accommodation and facilities. Some villages can provide a full range of care options so residents can enjoy a village lifestyle for as long as they want.
Each village is unique in what is has to offer. Villages can range in size from two units to over 300. The types of accommodation offered can vary from villas or town houses to apartments, and serviced apartments. Most villages have a community centre and offer a range of recreation facilities.
Some reasons to move to a retirement village:
- Enjoy the privacy of your own home
- Maintain independence in a supportive environment
- Have peace of mind from 24 hour 'on call' assistance
- Gain access to a variety of services and recreation facilities
- Remove the major worry of maintaining a home
- Eliminate the need to worry about security
Living in a retirement village you have the best of both worlds, you can enjoy the benefits of privacy and security whilst not having to worry about maintaining your home. Choosing a village which suits you can enrich your life and give you the time to pursue your interests amongst friends.
The most common phrase we hear from existing residents is "I wish I had made the decision to move sooner."
Why you should choose an RVA village?
RVA members have chosen to be committed to providing quality services within their village. By establishing a compulsory RVA Accreditation programme the Association seeks to demonstrate that accredited villages are responsible and committed to meeting resident's needs.
Increasingly, residents within the community are demanding greater accountability and consistency in services offered by public, community, charitable and private retirement village service providers. Prospective residents can make the decision to move to an accredited village with confidence that appropriate standards have been met and are being maintained.
