Joe Willie Wilkins was born in 1921 in Davenport, Mississippi. His father was Papa Frank Wilkins. He learned to play the guitar when he was quite young and became known as "The Walkin' Seeburg" because he could perform requests so easily. He became Sonny Boy Williamson's accompanist in 1941. During the 1970's, he became part of the Memphis Blues Caravan for the reorganized King Biscuit Boys.
Sonny Boy Williamson was a famous blues musician during the 1940s and 1950s. He was born between 1899 and 1910 under the name Aleck Ford and was also known as Rice Miller or Aleck Miller and grew up in Mississippi and taught himself how to play the harmonica. In 1965, he returned to Helena and appeared again on "King Biscuit Time" and died May 25, 1965.
James "Peck" Curtis was a drummer with Sonny Boy Williamson [a.k.a. Rice Miller]. He was also known as "Peck", "Four by Four"and one of the "King Biscuit Boys." Peck was raised on a farm and went to Helena in 1929. As a talented musician that played drums, jug, and washboard, Peck toured with travelling shows, ministrels, carnivals, and also worked with the Memphis Jug Band in 1933. He worked with Sonny Boy Williamson on the King Biscuit Time KFFA Radio show in Helena and with Houston Stackhouse from 1947 to the 1960s. Peck died November 1, 1970 at Helena, Arkansas.

I'm a mom of three kiddos, two were c-sections. My stomach has taken a serious beating. I've jokingly spoken for years about getting a tummy tuck, but never thought I'd actually do it. I am a Christian, so I openly struggle with the vanity issue of spending money to do this. My husband was the one who suggested it. Not because he was repulsed by me, not that he'd ever have the guts to say that anyways, but because he knew it always bugged me and he thought we were finally in a place where we could swing the cost of it. I admit that once I started thinking about it I had a hard time stopping! Thoughts like, "wow, what would it be like to have a normal looking stomach again?!?!" Or, "maybe I could actually wear a tankini again!" I'm not asking to become a brazilian super model, but it would be nice to be able to wear a full coverage tankini. Right now I can not. This awful flap of skin comes out and folds over my underwear or bathing suit bottoms. The scar tissue is so bad that most of it is numb, so that leads me into some humiliating territory when it somehow escapes my clothing and I don't notice it hanging out. I don't want it so I can wear skin tight clothing or look hotter at the dance clubs. I want it to feel normal and feel attractive to my husband when I'm naked (though he swears I still am).
So this is the beginning of my story. I'll try to be good about posting updates and pictures.
I first met with Dr. Vath back in January. He is definitely a "no pressure" sort of guy. I begged him for his honest opinion of basically what would he do if he was in my shoes. He was slow to answer. I could tell he was concerned about hurting my feelings. I had to practically beg him to give me a blunt answer. I'm more of a "give it to me straight" kind of gal and I appreciate honesty, even the kind I might not like to hear. People who beat around the bush annoy me. Anyhow, he was super nice and I do understand that this is a very sensitive topic for women. Me too, so I do get it. No one wants to de-robe to hear the doc gasp for air and then say, "what the hell!!!" His answers were very thoughtful and well put. We came up with a game plan and what we thought would be realistic expectations.
After I met with him I sat down and spoke with Kim. She's a patient counselor. I just LOVED working with Kim. She was super great about answering all my questions, even the ones that I thought were kind of dumb (but I was still curious about). She ran several different quotes for me. Ones for just the tummy tuck, the tummy tuck plus upper abdomen, tummy tuck plus hip lipo, etc. Then we talked surgery dates. What was possible with kids, what times would work, when I would be able to have the most down time due to my husbands work schedule, etc. She was great about helping me to weigh all the possibilities and never made me feel rushed or that I was taking up too much of her time. What I felt was understanding. She has kids herself, so she knows the importance of being there for them as well as taking some time out for you. I really appreciated that about her. Anyhow, she helped me set up my surgery date. I ended up calling her back a couple times with questions after that and she was awesome and always got back to me quickly.
Fast forward to just a couple weeks ago when I had my pre-op appointment. I met with Lisa the nurse to go over pre and post op instructions. She told me she'd go over the post op instructions with my husband again the day of surgery, but she just wanted to give me the heads up so I'd know what to expect. Then she had me get in some itsy bitsy panties for pre op pictures. Oh so humiliating feeling. She did her best to get through it quickly and I never felt like she was judging me or anything, it was really just my nerves getting the best of me. Whose wouldn't right? Anyhow, Lisa was great and answered all my questions and made me laugh a few times. She's e-mailing me my pre op pictures so I can post them here.
So now I'm 3 days out and the nerves are starting to act up. I will update when I can. I'm sharing because I know there are more of you out there that are like me. We don't want to talk about this flappy looking thing on our stomach, we just want it to disappear. Well how do you do that, where do you start, who does it the best, etc. I get it. I don't facebook or twitter, I care less about social media. I do care about people though. So for all you strangers out there who feel like me, I'm doing this for you. Feel honored - you've read my first ever blog =) j/k

Case Conclusion Date: 10.01.2011
Practice Area: Criminal defense
Outcome: Trafficking charges dismissed
Description: Officers from the Worcester Police Department obtained a search warrant for the third floor of an apartment building where client resided. After the search warrant was executed, the Client was arrested and charged with trafficking in heroin and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. At the time the client hired Attorney Longton, his attorney was insisting he accept the Commonwealth's offer of a Guilty plea and 2 1/2 year jail sentence. Client was soon referred by a former client to Attorney Longton. Attorney Longton hit the ground running and immediately conducted her own investigation; when she visited the apartment building and took pictures she quickly realized that the officers failed to mention a key fact in the Affidavit - namely that the client's "apartment" was really a rooming house, and thus occupied by multiple individuals. Armed with this new information, Attorney Longton filed a motion to suppress the narcotics. Attorney Longton was successful and convinced the Court that the search of the client's apartment was unconstitutional because the officers failed to identify the client's apartment with "particularity" as required by the law. All evidence was thrown out and the charges against the client were dismissed.

"Thomson Reuters releases greenhouse gas emissions data on Global Energy Providers – 21 May 2015
Thomson Reuters has released a new research Global 500 Greenhouse Gas Report: The Fossil Fuel Energy Sector, revealing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data from 32 global energy companies, a key subset of the world's largest publically traded businesses. The report, written in collaboration with global sustainability consultancy BSD Consulting, is the second in a series of GHG reports designed to create transparency and enable sound management of global GHG emissions.
Building on the previous report, the new report includes data around consumers' use of a company's products, called Scope 3 data, to present a fuller view of the business's overall contribution to GHG emissions. Among the data included in the report, 31 percent of GHG emitted globally on an annual basis comes from 32 global energy companies and the population's use of their products.
From 2010 to 2013, GHG emissions from the 32 energy companies and use of their products increased by 1.3 percent, a sharp contrast to the 2014 United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) Emissions Gap Report, which recommended a 4.2 percent reduction of GHG emissions over the same time period to keep global temperatures within manageable limits.
In addition to contributions from the Carbon Disclosure Project and the Climate Accountability Institute, self-reported GHG emissions data was gathered from energy sector businesses and combined with estimates pulled from Thomson Reuters ASSET4, a provider of environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) data. ASSET4 gathers standardised, objective, quantitative and qualitative ESG data on more than 4,800 publicly listed companies."

Game 1: Boxscore | Highlights
Game 2: Boxscore | Highlights
Quotes | Notes | Photo Gallery
Site: Ann Arbor, Mich. (Wilpon Complex)
Score: #9 Michigan 8, Iowa 6; U-M 8, Iowa 0 (5 innings)
Records: U-M (39-7, 16-0 Big Ten), Iowa (24-19, 4-11 Big Ten)
Next U-M Event: Tuesday, April 23 -- vs. Central Michigan (Wilpon Complex), 6 p.m.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The No. 9-ranked University of Michigan softball team belted two home runs, including a grand slam from freshman Sierra Lawrence (Norcross, Ga./Greater Atlanta Christian), to top Iowa, 8-6, in game one of a doubleheader and then used an 11-hit attack and shutout from sophomore Sara Driesenga (Hudsonville, Mich./Hudsonville) to take game two, 8-0, in five innings today (Sunday, April 21) at the Wilpon Complex.
The pair of victories extend U-M's win streak to 21 games and keeps the squad perfect in the Big Ten with a 16-0 mark. The triumph in game two marked the 17th run-rule win for the Wolverines in 2013.
In game two, Driesenga hurled her fifth shutout win of the season, striking out five in five innings; she did not walk a batter. She needed a little help to work out of an early jam in the first. With a runner on third and one out, the Iowa batter dribbled a grounder to junior Caitlin Blanchard (Petersburg, Mich./Summerfield) at first. She nailed the runner coming home to keep the Hawkeyes off the board. Then with the bases loaded and two outs, Driesenga dialed up her second strikeout of the inning to set the Hawkeyes down unscathed.
A five-run fifth inning paved the way for a run-rule win by the Maize and Blue. Blanchard started the scoring by roping a bases-loaded single into rightfield that plated junior Lyndsay Doyle (Channahon, Ill./Minooka Community). Following a sacrifice fly from senior Ashley Lane (Escondido, Calif./Escondido), Lawrence doubled into the right-center gap to score two more U-M runs. The Wolverines added one more on a fielder's choice from sophomore Lauren Sweet (Corona, Calif./Santiago).
U-M scored two runs in the fifth to end the game by run-rule. Lane belted her 12th home run of the season to right-center, a solo shot that put the Wolverines up 7-0. Then with two outs and a runner on first, freshman Kelsey Susalla (Garden City, Mich./Garden City) drilled a triple off the rightfield wall to score pinch runner Brandi Virgil (Houston, Texas/Cypress Creek). Virgil's run -- U-M's eighth of the game -- triggered the run-rule decision.
Freshman Sierra Romero (Murrieta, Calif./Vista Murrieta) jacked her 19th homer of the season in the first inning to give Driesenga and the Wolverines the lead after one.
Driesenga was efficient on the way to her 23rd win. She faced 22 batters in five innings of work and threw 43 strikes out of her 78 pitches.
Two home runs accounted for seven of U-M's eight runs in game one. Sweet opened up the scoring in the second with a three-run blast. Her fifth roundtripper of the season was a line-drive rope to leftfield.
Then in the third inning, the Wolverines piled on five more runs. With the bases loaded on two walks and single, Lawrence crushed a 1-1 pitch out to leftfield. The grand slam ball landed in the fir trees that populate the space between Alumni Field and Ray Fisher Stadium at the Wilpon Complex and put U-M up 7-0.
Doyle knocked a pitch back up the middle to score senior Amy Knapp (St. Joseph, Mich./Lakeshore) and build the Maize and Blue lead to 8-0 after three.
The Hawkeyes fought back, hitting three home runs in the next four innings to come within two runs of the Wolverines. U-M outlasted the Iowa surge, and Driesenga protected the lead with two innings of relief.
Sophomore Haylie Wagner (Orange, Calif./El Modeno) earned the win after tossing five innings. She struck out five and did not walk a batter. Five of Iowa's six runs were charged to Wagner.
The Maize and Blue will play a non-conference game on Tuesday (April 23) against Central Michigan at the Wilpon Complex. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m.

Submitted to: Environmental Pollution
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 7/1/2005
Publication Date: 11/1/2006
Citation: Banuelos, G.S. 2006. Phytoproducts may be essential for sustainability and implementation of phytoremediation. Environmental Pollution, Vol 144, Issue 1, pgs 19-23. Interpretive Summary: Interest in selenium pollution and remediation technology has escalated during the past two decades. Although not known to be essential for plants, selenium is both essential and toxic for humans and animals, depending on its concentrations. A major selenium controversy in the 1980's emerged in California when the general public and scientific community became aware of selenium's potential as an environmental contaminant. After extensive research on several strategies to reduce loads of mobile Se for entering the agricultural ecosystem a plant-based technology, defined as 'phytoremediation' received increasing recognition, as a low-cost environmentally friendly approach for managing soluble Se in the soil and water environment. Successful long-term field remediation of Se by plants is, however, dependent upon acceptance and widespread use by growers, who are also concerned about potential commercial value from using the plant-based technology. Obtaining products with economic value from plants used in the cleanup of soil would certainly be an additional benefit to phytoremediation, which could help sustain its long-term use. In this regard, new phyto-products were developed from plants used in the field phytoremediation of Se in central California. These included; Se-enriched broccoli, Se-enriched animal meal, Se-enriched organic fertilizer, and canola oil for use as a blend with diesel fuel in the production of biofuel. This paper will discuss the production of these alternative phyto-products from plants grown for remediation of Se under field conditions.
Technical Abstract: Multi-year field phytoremediation studies were conducted with plants at different locations in the Westside of central California known to have high concentrations in their soils and/or waters used of irrigation. Some of the plant species include: canola (Brassica napus), broccoli (Brassica oleracea), and sunflower (Helianthus annus). Generally the soils (Oxalis silty clay form) and the waters have sodium sulfate dominated salinity between 6-10 dS m-1, pH of 7.9, and concentrations of water extractable Se and B ranging from 0.13-0.50 mg L-1 and 5-10 mg L-1, respectively. Broccoli is harvested for its edible florets, and canola and sunflower are harvested primarily for their seed. Typical floret yields for broccoli were 8 metric tons ha-1, and canola and sunflower seed yields were 3 to 3.5 metric tons ha-1, respectively. Selenium concentrations did not exceed 3.5 mg kg-1 DM for broccoli. Harvested seed was processed onsite for its oil by an "oil press" and "extruder", which utilize high pressure and temperature for maximizing oil extraction.. Generally 40% and 30% oil can be extracted from canola and sunflower seeds, respectively. Due to the inefficiency of oil extraction at this time under field conditions, we were extracting only 25% of the available oil. This percentage represented approximately 1500-2000 liters oil per hectare for each respective crop. Presently, we are blending canola oil with diesel fuel at 20% by weight. The resulting biofuel (approximately 6000-8000 liter of biofuel per hectare) is being used on the farm site to operate diesel driven equipment. Nutritional analyses of the seed byproduct (after oil extraction) is probably the most valuable commodity of the two. Results show that nutrient concentrations, except Ca, are more than adequate for the meal when compared to other reported values for grass and or legume forage. Importantly, the Se concentration in the meal was less than 2 mg kg -1 DM..The ADF (13%) and NDF (23%) values are lower than typical values for good quality legume, grass and legume grass hays and silages. However the CP (27%) and CF (CF%) values are slightly better than legume hays. The low glucosinolate content in the meal of 20µ mol/g is an important quality of the seed meal. The Se-enriched meal is presently being fed to local dairy and sheep industries. Both bio-based products produced from plants used for phytoremediation can encourage growers to utilize oil-producing plants for managing soluble Se in poor quality soils and waters of the westside San Joaquin Valley.

Get a comprehensive overview of the GAPS diet, a holistic treatment for many conditions including autism and depression, from its history to the foods you should eat or avoid on the diet.
What is the GAPS Diet?
GAPS stands for Gut and Psychology Syndrome, a term invented by Dr. Campbell-McBride. The GAPS diet is based on Campbell-McBride's belief that all diseases start in the gut. It is a healing diet to that is intended to last for a couple of years.
The GAPS Diet Was Started as a Health Cure
Dr. Natasha Campbell-Mcbride created the GAPS diet to address today's epidemic of health problems (autism, ADD/ADHD, anxiety), which she believes is caused by processed food. The idea is that toxins from bad bacteria in the gut affects our brains. People use GAPS to address everything from autism to depression. In the video above, one mother discusses how she used the diet as a complementary treatment for her child's autism.
GAPS DIET: What Foods to Eat
The actual GAPS diet is seven stages, but here is an overview of the foods you are allowed to eat on the diet. There is also an introductory phase which Dr. Campbell-McBride recommends some people start with first.
GAPS Diet Foods:
• Free-range and fresh meats, fish, and eggs (=85% of your diet).
• Homemade meat stock, soups, and stews.
• Vegetables (mostly well-cooked or fermented).
• Probiotics like fermented dairy.
• Good fats from organic butter, avocado, and extra-virgin olive oil.
GAPS Diet: What Foods to Avoid
On the GAPS diet, you avoid all sugars, grains, and fibers, and processed foods– these are difficult for the body to digest.
These are some of the everyday foods you should not eat on the GAPS diet:
apple juice
baked beans
baking powder and raising agents of all kinds
balsamic vinegar
chick peas
cream cheese
grains, ALL
hot dogs
meat, processed, preserved, smoked
milk, ALL
nuts, salted, roasted, coasted
sugar, ALL
vegetables, canned or preserved
For a more comprehensive list, go directly to the Gaps Diet.
GAPS Diet Review and Criticism
Because the diet is recent, there haven't been enough scientific studies and research for most medical professionals to make a conclusive decision. Dr. Harriet Hall of Science-Based Medicine calls it:
a mishmash of half-truths, pseudoscience, imagination, and untested claims.

A private lift for public spaces
via oregonlive.com Published: Thursday, August 09, 2012, 5:59 PM Updated: Thursday, August 09, 2012, 11:06 PM By The Oregonian Editorial Board As anyone who has been to the Keller Auditorium in downtown Portland knows, the boxy building may bore but the fountains across the street rock. Sheets of water roll off cascading concrete blocks into a pool at the base, as if the hard surfaces played to some ancient rhythm and as if the natural world itself had crept in to disrupt urban order. Care for a dip, anyone? Yes: twice. That's what the late landscape architect Lawrence Halprin had in mind in designing the Forecourt Fountains, now known as the Ira Keller Fountain for the man who championed Halprin's work and who dared his own Portland Development Commission to stretch its imagination in the urban renewal-crazy 1960s. But time, depleted city budgets, shifting development priorities and a new generation of Portlanders unaware of Halprin's work have taken a hard toll. The Keller Fountain, despite an overhaul in the 1990s, suffers for proper maintenance. Less visible are Halprin's precursor spaces to the Keller Fountain — the Source Fountain, Lovejoy Fountain and Pettygrove Park. All are situated nearby, walkable to the south along Southwest Third and Second avenues. And they, especially, have fallen into disrepair. Yet together the four Halprin installations form an uncommon sequence: urban spaces informed by nature — as if they were their own watershed — and one in their attempt to engage people in play and contemplation. On a good day, the Halprin parks still succeed on those counts. And while they look a bit frayed, they are credited internationally with changing the conception of what's architecturally possible in cities. But fame, perhaps more so when it's elsewhere, never paid bills. And upkeep for the parks stymies three cash-short city bureaus — parks, transportation and water. That's where several Portlanders have stepped up to make the difference. Among them are developer John Russell, whose building at 200 Market St. is situated next door to Pettygrove Park; developer Bob Naito; and The Oregonian's former architecture critic, Randy Gragg. All worry about not only the condition of the parks but the values of surrounding properties. Gragg years ago spearheaded the formation of the nonprofit Lawrence Halprin Landscape Conservancy, whose sole purpose was and is to find the money to fix and maintain the parks. The thinking is plain though nobody quite says it: If Rome assures that the Trevi Fountain and Piazza Navona endure, then why can't Portland find a way to safeguard its best publicly shared treasures? The conservancy has logged nearly $2 million in needed repairs at the four sites. Russell has pledged $200,000 and already engaged in tree-pruning and lawn-rebuilding. Others, among them Greg Goodman, are contributors. The city's recent clearance to the conservancy — that it provide the added layer of maintenance it cannot — clears the way for things to really start happening. But the let's-just-get-it-done ethic is no stranger here. Years ago the Pittock Mansion, in its perch overlooking the city, was at risk. The city bought the property in a spasm to save it. But it took private citizens who formed a nonprofit corporation to raise money for the Pittock's overhaul, upkeep and management. That's why the mansion is such a tidy, flourishing place today —...read more
Portland nonprofit pays for private contractors to refresh historic parks
via oregonlive.com Published: Monday, August 06, 2012, 5:44 PM Updated: Monday, August 06, 2012, 6:37 PM The grass at downtown Portland's Pettygrove Park is green for the first time in years thanks to an unusual partnership. After years of lobbying, a group of developers persuaded the Portland City Council to let their nonprofit tend to a string of park spaces created by the late renowned architect Lawrence Halprin: Pettygrove, Keller Fountain Park and Lovejoy Fountain Park, plus Source Fountain. Normally, city-employed union workers must do parks maintenance. But the developers — John Russell and Bob Naito among them — argued that the Halprin parks are works of art in need of specialized care that regular maintenance workers can't provide. The City Council finally agreed, signing a contract with the nonprofit Halprin Landscape Conservancy last year. Now Russell and the conservancy, in addition to working to revive public interest in the Halprin parks, can raise money and hire outside contractors to help maintain the parks. Work got under way at Pettygrove a few weeks ago and will begin at Lovejoy Fountain Park next spring. In coming years, the conservancy plans to establish an endowment to take care of the sites. It has raised $200,000 so far. The group's contract with the city runs indefinitely, but city officials can cancel it any time. Last spring, the conservancy drew up detailed plans for $1.5 million to $2 million in repairs at the four sites. Repairs — ranked from urgent to low priority — include everything from fixing cracked concrete to replacing lighting. "We'll help to maintain them above and beyond what the city is able to provide," said Marcy McInelly, the conservancy's chairwoman. "These parks are a modernist legacy." The parks, plazas and fountains span eight blocks of downtown and are connected by shaded promenades. They are quiet yet urban, similar to Halprin's other work, including the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial in Washington, D.C. Not everyone likes the agreement to fix the parks. Richard Beetle, business manager of Laborers Local 483, which represents parks maintenance workers, filed an unsuccessful grievance over a 2009 deal that allowed Russell to hire outside contractors to prune trees at Pettygrove Park. He recently filed a grievance protesting the new outside hiring at Pettygrove, too. "That's our work," he said. But city Commissioner Nick Fish, who oversees the Portland Parks Bureau, said union work isn't being taken away. Given his bureau's shrinking budget, he said, the work at Pettygrove, Keller Fountain and the other sites wouldn't happen without the conservancy. He added that such partnerships are part of a national trend. "We could not maintain the gold-medal system we do without these private-public partnerships," Fish said. "We just haven't had the money to make the investment of maintenance we wanted to" for the Halprin parks. Portland parks receive volunteer hours and money from about 120 friend and nonprofit groups. The Halprin Landscape Conservancy, though, is among the few groups authorized to draw up plans and pay for its own contractors semi-independently. The Portland Japanese Garden and Pioneer Courthouse Square are maintained under a similar structure. Reaching agreement wasn't easy, though. Russell said it took him 18 months to persuade the city to let him bring in workers to prune the trees at Pettygrove, which is next to his 200 Market St. building. He sees maintaining the Halprin parks, built in the 1960s and early '70s,...read more

A dog IS good home defense - sometimes.
Bulldog Killed While Saving Greenbelt Family From Intruder - Greenbelt, MD PatchSuddenly, the window glass shattered in Ashaylas bedroom. Having taken off her nurses uniform, Lucinda rushed from her room to Ashaylas bedroom wearing only her undergarments fearing Ashayla was still there.
The next thing she knew, Lucinda said a gun was in her face, and a masked intruder commanded her, Freeze *****.
In that moment, Lucinda, realized her daughter was not in the bedroom and yelled hide. Ignoring the intruders order, she ran for Ashayla.
A bullet whizzed by Lucindas head in the hallway, barely missing her, she said.
She looked to see the gun firing again, this time not at her but at Joe, who had crossed her in the hallway and was lunging at the intruder, she said. Four bullets hit Joe, one to the head. But he would not stop, Lucinda said, and he growled.
It was like a growl, Ive never ever heard before, Lucinda recalled.
Then she heard what sounded like the intruder fumbling with the venetian blinds and she saw Joe fall. He looked at her before he hit the ground with a look Lucinda said she wont forget. It was if he was saying, Mommy, youre safe now, she said.

Hyala - Poem by Alice Cary
Low by the reedy sea went ancient Ops,
Tracking for crownless Saturn: quietly
From her gray hair waned off the sober light,
For Eve, that Cyclops of the burning eye,
Slow pacing down the slumberous hills, was gone.
Under the black boughs of a cedarn wood,
Weary of hunting, Dian lay asleep,
Kissed by the amorous winds. Close to her feet,
Cropping the scant ambrosia, Io came,
Her slender neck hung round with modest bells
Of asphodel, the gift of Jupiter,
Who, for the jealous love that Juno had,
Made her the milk-white heifer that she was.
So slept the huntress, while, hard by the wood
Where the slant sunset lay in crimson gores
Athwart the dimness, that most chaste of maids
Whom Dian loved, cold-bosomed Hyala,
Stood leaning on her slack bow, all alone -
Her forehead smooth as ice, and ivy-bound,
And in her girdle of blue hyacinths
Three sharpest arrows.
All unconsciously,
Tripping barefooted through the violets,
Idalia, fairest shepherdess of all -
In her white hands her silver milking-bowl,
And on her lip the music of a heart
Hungry for love - crossed the near field, her song
Sweetly dividing the blue silent air:
'O fair Scamander, bed of loveliness,
When wilt thou give my naked limbs to lie
Among thy marriage pillows, white as foam!'
In the pale cheek of Hyala burned out
An angry color, as she saw her sit
Singing and milking in her silver bowl.
One lily shoulder, under rippling lengths
Of dropping tresses, pressing light the flank
Of a plump goat, with eyes as black as sloe,
And hoofs of pinky silver, dimpling deep
The wild green turf thick-sprouting on a ridge
That topt a flowery slope in Thessaly.
Scorn curled the lip of listening Hyala,
And drawing from her belt the nimblest shaft,
Straight from her steady hand it sped and sunk
Deep in the forehead of the harmless beast,
That moaning fell, and bled into the grass:
So Hyala went laughing on her way.

Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, KG (10 November 1565 – 25 February 1601) was an English nobleman and a favourite of Elizabeth I. He was politically ambitious, and a committed general. He was placed under house arrest following a poor campaign in Ireland during the Nine Years' War in 1599. In 1601 he led an abortive coup d'état against the government and was executed for treason. His story has been told in art and literature. Two well known examples are the opera Roberto Devereux by Gaetano Donizetti and the movie The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex starring Bette Davis and Errol Flynn.

"State Sen. Phil Journey, R-Haysville, doesnt expect many businesses to post signs anyway. Most businesses in the 46 other states that have such laws have opted against posting prohibition signs, he said, because law-abiding gun carriers often would avoid such places, even if they werent carrying guns.
They will end up creating a potential for a negative impact on their income, said Journey, who wrote the bill and is a lawyer and chairman of the Kansas Second Amendment Society. These people will trade with businesses that do not oppose their free exercise of their rights.

The Olympics were a ratings success for the BBC, but they were an even bigger hit for NBC, with the Beijing Games being declared the most watched event in American television history.
NBC's Beijing coverage reached 214 million viewers during the event's 16-day run, according to US media reports, eclipsing the 209 million viewers who watched the the Atlanta 1996 Olympics.
The US network broadcast a record 3,600 hours of coverage from Beijing across its various multimedia outlets - including mobile and online - after paying $894m (£486m) for the rights.
NBC has more than made its money back, taking an estimated $1bn in advertising revenue from the Beijing Games.
The top five most viewed events on US television history have all been Olympics.
After Beijing and Atlanta comes the Lillehammer winter games in 1994, with 204 million viewers; the 2004 summer Olympics in Athens, 203 million; and the 1998 Seoul summer games, with a total audience of 194 million.
The average audience for NBC's primetime coverage of the 2008 games, which finished on Sunday, was 27.7 million, up 11% on Athens four years ago.
With more than 40 million watching at least 15 minutes of the Olympics in the UK on the BBC, it gives the Beijing Games a combined audience of more than 250 million across the two countries.

Ravens 27 Jets 20

Ravens 27 Jets 20
In a game much like the Texans game earlier this year and the Jets game a couple of years ago, a couple of defensive TDs make it look like the offense played a good game, but they really didn't.
30-13 Ravens Elam gets his first TD after scooping up a Geno fumble forced by Dumervil.
That Jets D line is impressive, keep an eye on Wilkerson. I have no idea how they will counter him inside. But the back end has been exposed and the Ravens have to test it.
Also saw this today: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/wr-hill...5998--nfl.html
The Ravens have no business losing to this team. Not at home.
There's really no one on their offense that scares you. We've lost to the Bills and Browns but at least those teams have some playmakers. Stephen Hill, I heard, is in the dog house. Is Santonio Holmes healthy? Who else is left? David Nelson? Chris Ivory is a good running back but he's not a game changer.
Their run defense is really good but the secondary isn't great. We should be able to run the sugar huddle, quick passing attack with some shotgun runs and draws mixed in. We play that style well at home. That should be enough to get us 20-23 points or so, which should be enough to win.
Ravens win 23-10. If we lose this one I'll have no more words.
3-2 ravens
Ravens 21 - Jets 17...since our offense can't score more than 14, our "D" gets a TD in this one... Bc
Must ...avoid ...turnovers...
If Joe & crew can keep from turning it over (or at least commit fewer turnovers than NY) I think the Ravens find a way to come out on top at home.
Ravens 17
Jesters 13
16-13 Ravens on a last second FG.
Even though they win fans will feel deflated as if the Ravens lost.
This team is missing something and its more than talent or even leadership.
Can't picture the Ravens losing this game.
Ravens 23
Jets 10
I'd say Jets win by three. Their d is so damn good and they really are a Jekyll and Hyde team.
Nothing like a little bit of bulletin board material for the OL.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Staff were very friendly. Pool area is a bit dated. Construction going on in the front of the hotel. The beach wasn't as clean as it could have been.
I love the room!!! Food are really too expensive!
more entenaiments specially for kids aged below 2 and above 10 years old price of everything was so expensive and didn't worth the quality.I won't come back to this place again although the nature was very nice and the staff were excellent.
My girlfriend and I stayed at BLR for the weekend and had a blast. We took the 90 minute Moziac ferry from Tinah terminal straight to immigration at BLR resort and it was super easy. BLR is definitely going through some renovations but both pools were open and the staff was kind and accommodating the whole weekend. The beach restaurant Neyalan was awesome, the wait staff was so nice and always had smiles on their faces. It's a great spot to enjoy lunch or dinner and has reasonably priced food and drinks, especially compared to Singapore. Our only complaint was the lack of information about the tar on the beaches. I don't know what happened off the coast of Bintan but there is no shortage of tar on the beach. BLR does a good job of cleaning it but no matter what, if you go to the beach you will get tar on your feet. We don't have kids but BLR had numerous activities for the kiddos. If you're looking for a short weekend beach trip from Singapore and don't mind some tar on your feet I would recommend Bintan Lagoon Resort.
I liked how the hotel was so spacious. They were obviously close to capacity but the place didn't seem too crowded. I also liked that there was a lot of activities to do in the hotel grounds. The hotel is isolated. You can't really go anywhere and so you must eat at the resort's restaurants. The restaurants are pretty expensive and the food is rather average. There were also very few vegetarian options. The best food we had was at Haskell's by the golf course.
facilities were good. The main buffet restaurant varied from poor to quite good while we stayed there. staff in general were helpful and service good .Apart from comment below. changed room at start as original room smelt of smoke. but i didnt book a non smoking room (in other parts of the world non smoking is standard and you dont think about it. Also lot of people complaining of no seaview. the staff seemed to take delight in telling everyone it says sea facing not seaview.. very misleading..
Nice location, wide hotel complex, two very large pools, good beach facilities. In general hotel service is not in line with 5 star standards. Room are nice, confortable but not clean (bed sheets were regularly stained!). Staff service quite poor. Restaurants are nice but too expensive...and there's no other option but dining in the hotel! Since there's nothing else to see on the island, we'd recommend it only for 3 nights max.
The facilites, and staff I thought the food and drinks were overpriced, including the shop. Obviously they know they have a captive audience
Very relaxing and comfortable hotel in beautiful surroundings. Very quiet mid-week as this island is a weekend retreat for Singaporeans mostly. Main restaurant/cafe could be cooler -fomal a/c would suit us europeans better. Choice and range of foods was good but the quality was variable on the whole. Orzo restaurant had a good menu but the meals were either very good or very poor and expensive. We stayed in de-luxe sea facing rooms on the 5th floor in the west wing so the views were great and the room servicing was excellent. The staff everywhere were welcoming and helpful. The bathroom was starting to look tired and needed refurbishing to maintain the high standards that generally are the norm in this hotel.
The beachfront is truly a place to relax. The pool is also unexpectedly big. The air-conditioning doesn't really seem to cool the room even though it was at full blast.
Pools & beach are good. Very expensive. The price of Wine in the restaurants was extortionate. Service was Indonesian standard at Singapore prices! The ferry terminal being built on the beach spoils the view totally from the East Wing. I know Singaporeans don't like to walk more than 10 metres to get anywhere, but did it have to be built in the middle of the resort?
Facilities Price and cleanliness
Staff were very kind and attentive. Liked the fact they cleaned the beach all day long and also sprayed the gardens in the night for insects. Food and drinks were overpriced. For the price, the food quality is mediocre. We ended up spending almost the price of the room for food/drinks with no alternatives.
good service. A bit too expensive.
I like the hotel is near the beach. The hotel may need some renovation especially for room and bathroom though they have to increase room charge.
the distance (none!!!) to the beach rooms could use a bit of upgrading, especially the bathrooms
The Spice Restaurant served delicious indian food, local cuisine and international food was also great. All restaurants throughout Nirwana Gardens were fantastic, each a different experience. Beach at the Resort was beautiful. We booked a garden view room but were still able to see the sea side, loved that.
Quiet & private Na
We enjoyed the proximity to the ocean and the clean beaches. We also liked the pool at the nearby Nirwana hotel. Beer was too expensive, The Saturday night party at the Beach Hotel was so loud we couldn't sleep.
Food standard low
Great location, very well organised arrival and departure procedures. Food quality (I am not referring to the freshness) and choices in the restaurants well below anything I have ever experienced in any Hotel or Restaurant in South East Asia. Acomodation fair, but not at this price. No swimming pool, however one could walk few minutes to the other part of the Resort with a nice pool there. Beach lounges not adjustable - lay down or else...
the fabulous location, super staff lovely food drinks too dear
Good location, nice beach. Furniture in chalets really old. Looked like duvet covers hadn't been changed in a long time. Curtains also not particulalrly clean. Activities available at a nearby hotel belonging to same group of hotels, but some distance away; had to wait for shuttle to take us there which wasn't very convenient. And you pay extra for every little thing that you want to do.
White sand beach excellent for my son to play around as it is his first experience on the beach Timber floor at room need to be repaired and re-coated
Staff at reception was very helpful. Especially MARIA, who was very helping nature. Swimming pool was not clean. management put water and chips in room and later they charge for it. They should put note there about charges.
Actually the Comfort Hotel is a great place to stay. the room was clean and very big. There was a good restaurant and a pool. The hotel offers also a pub, a laundry service and some more. For us, it was okay for two nights but there is not much around to see.
Location of the hotel marked in Googlemaps is misleading - the hotel is far in the south, in the middle of nowhere. The breakfest is just not eatable.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
In the audit report initially, my bank went bankruptcy and FDIC took over and sold it to another bank without perfected chain of title. Second, the audit report revealed that the bank didn't have a license to grant mortgage loan. The information for this came from Illinois Department of Financial and professional Regulation. Can all this be true?
PS. I'm in foreclose now for this property.
Yes, all of this can be true. The question you must answer is whether this information will help you respond to the foreclosure action on your home. It could potentially help to defend the foreclosure, but it is more likely you will have to file a separate claim on the matters you raise here. Such a claim is often very difficult to win and potentially very costly. You should contact an experienced foreclosure defense attorney to advise you on this.Ask a similar question
I agree. It is possible that you might have counterclaims against the bank, and defenses to the foreclosure. In these cases, there are often other factors that would help you defend the foreclosure. For now, avoid getting a default judgment entered against you, and talk to an attorney that handles foreclosure cases. Good Luck.Ask a similar question

text: No one else could make shots tonight. Stuckey and Villanueva were the only guys hitting shots. I'm not saying he did a good job of finding open teammates (zero assists is a good indicator that he wasn't) but the team shot 39% at home. Tough to win games like that against elite competition, especially when they are shooting at 50%. Bynum was awful tonight... take away his 1 for 13 and the Pistons might come away with a win. His defense (and Gordon's before he went down) was pretty bad too. I think something is wrong with him because he lacked the usual explosion to the rim and was settling for contested jumpers.

yes I live in a bubble
Aug 22 2014
What do you get when you add a splash of mystery, a good hook, and a tear-able villain that never sleeps? One of the longest running television events in history.
Unless you've been living in a bubble, you've either seen or heard about Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. It's a full seven days dedicated to fueling American's fascination of everything shark-related. The 27-year-old program delivers shows ranging from fiction "documentaries" to real-life footage of shark encounters and attracts a variety of people from curious children to thrill-seeking adults.
Shark Week isn't the only event obsessing over our fish friends though. Recently "Sharknado 2: The Second One" aired on television and audiences around the globe watched as the U.S. experienced a fictional tornado filled with ravenous human-devouring sharks.
But why are we so consumed by these shark-themed programs? Is it the real-life threat lurking near our beaches, or the mystery of a species that has been characterized as a villain since the days of "Jaws"? Whatever it is, we love it and don't want it to stop – but maybe it's time for an update.
In lieu of Shark Week or "Sharknado," tell us in six words, what animal-themed series or movie you would like to see on the big screen next year.
I would love to see:
Tidal Whales – The Wave of Terror
Ninja Sloths: When Stealthy Sloths Attack
The most creative answer will win a Starbucks gift card. It won't stop a Sharknado, but it will give you a drink with enough caffeine to run from one!

Will "bombs" always kill fleas?
Geez, put in 2 cans of flea/insect (permethrin type) bombs, in a small cottage (3 rooms), and still fleas were there. Now, next day, after people complained, I put in 2 MORE bombs. Anybody ever have this persistent fleas issue ?
New fleas are emerging from pupal cases, which are not affected by insecticides, except for d-Limonene, but that has limitations.
Don't use total release aeros. Get the aeros that you can hold upside-down and direct the spray. Thoroughly vacuum entire floor. Wash all bedding, pet bedding. Spray under all furniture, under all removable cushions, in all closet floors, under throw/removable rugs. You will need help to tip furniture back, cushion removal/replacement, etc. Then spray over all exposed flooring, especially carpeting. If wood floors have cracks/gaps, then vacuum those cracks with a crack and crevice tool. Treat into same. If cottage has floor vents, open them up, clean them out (fill up with pet hair, dander) and treat into. Clean under stove, fridge-again much pet hair/dander and spray same. It's hard work.
Even when we do a flea job, we ask that customer wait 14-21 days before re-assessing. There will be hatching out in the interim. Treating is hard work and patience is required for results.
Make sure that you use a flea aero that has a "growth regulator" in it. It will be Methoprene, usually. Label may say something like egg stoppers, flea birth control, kills larvae, etc.
I like to use alpine flea. The IGR (insect growth regulator) in it provides protection against re-infestion for quite a few months.
Fleas will stay in their pupa form for around 8 days, but can stay in there longer if not disturbed. you want the problem over and done with, so i recommend making sure to vacuum everything once a day for a week after applying the flea treatment.
I messed around with a flea infestation last year. Don't make the mistake I made. I ended up just calling a pest guy in and $80 later everything was dead. I had spent weeks messing with it before that.

True. I think as sojourner stated, we're basically agreeing. The improvisation is what you grab, as a mechanical advantage (since you're already behind the curve). If I fear for my life, I can beat you till you are "no longer a threat" with a soda can; given my preference, however, I could finish things more efficiently with a staff (cane, baton), knife, or pistol.Quote:

Doesn't it seem like every fall the trends are the same? A "return to ladylike elegance", darker/red lips and nails, more coverage with your foundation... many of those things are no brainers. They just go with fall much more than unstructured beachy waves and hot pink nail polish.
This year there are a few additions/variations to the typical fall trends. The first is the addition of dark lips. Rather than just the classic red lip (though that's there too this fall), this summer we suddenly saw dark, deep vampy lips pop up at the Met Ball. And it's still here. Eyes definitely are brown this season, though that should obviously be varied a bit depending on what else you have going on. I also love the flushed, pretty cheeks that were seen on many fall runways.
I've opted to combine 2 of these trends, the brown eye (toned down a bit, but definitely still brown) and the dark lip. I opted for the brown lip because I had a new MAC lippie that I wanted to try out, though I'll show you later how I toned it down a bit to not look like super goth girl (I don't have a problem with that look, it just isn't my look).
Products Used:
Anastasia She Wears it Well Palette: I love all of the neutrals in this palette and it has a good mix of shimmer (though not too much shimmer for me) and matte.
Elizabeth Arden Smokey Eyes Liner in Espresso: These are my favorite liners! They are strong enough to stand up to anything (I hate applying liner to have the pencil smoosh itself against my lid rather than apply to the eye), but apply smoothly and can be easily smudged immediately. It lasts all day! EA sent me 2 about 2 years ago and I can't even tell you how many times I've repurchased since then.
Korres Magic Light Face Contouring trio in Santorini: This is really pretty, but overall very neutral. I think I have a post around here somewhere, which of course I can't find now. A bit tan, a bit pink, a bit peach.... you get the picture. I just didn't think that this look would go well with a pretty pink flush.
Stila Stay All Day Foundation and Concealer: I really need to review this stuff, but I really like it a lot. It is a medium coverage foundation, though the coverage is buildable. They even put a matching concealer in the lid!
As usual, I layered 2 mascaras, here I used Maybelline Lots of Lashes and Show Off Mascara by Beauty Addicts.

OpenData Product Overview
OpenData - What it Does
OpenData is a highly scalable software platform designed to collect and normalize performance data from devices, (IT & Network equipment, Telco, wired & wireless sensors, etc.), applications (BMS, CMDB, ITSM, ERP, etc.), and supporting building infrastructure (Power, Cooling, Security, etc.). This real-time data provides the foundation for making quicker and better operational decisions for the management of data centers and other mission-critical facilities. OpenData's core functionality provides the following capabilities:
- Real-time data collection and normalization at the edge of the network (IoT)
- Centralized, standard, highly-scalable database
- Extensive library of data collection templates for devices, applications and infrastructure
- Built-in reporting/analytics
- Real-time monitoring with intelligent alarm/alert escalation
- Support for networked and serial devices
- Optional modules for DCIM Asset Management, Power Capacity Management, Environmental Management
If you are managing a single site, have multiple facilities across the globe, or are looking for a platform to support the Internet of Things (IoT), OpenData provides the functionality you need to support a higher level of operational efficiency.
Watch Demo
Watch our OpenData product demo now to see how you can uncover the true state of your facility--from the grid to the chassis--and get more utilization out of power, cooling and space with infrastructure management software by Modius.
If you prefer a live interaction so that we may address any specific questions you might have, please contact us to schedule a personalized demo with a Modius representative.
Modius OpenData Editions
Not all facilities are the same, so Modius offers three versions of the OpenData platform for addressing your management needs.
OpenData Enterprise Edition - Do you have a large facility or multiple facilities to manage? Then the Modius OpenData Enterprise Edition provides a real-time data collection platform for monitoring all the critical infrastructure, devices, processes and events. Our Enterprise Edition provides multiple site monitoring and decision support that enables unified visibility and better control over the supporting infrastructure (power, cooling, security) and the facilities' housed equipment, (IT, Network, Telco, Fabrication, etc.). With OpenData Enterprise Edition, you can add one or more optional modules (e.g., Asset Management, Etc.) to address specific needs, or bundle everything together for a complete solution for facility management. [More]
OpenData Standard Edition - For small to medium single site operations, the OpenData Standard edition provides all the data collection capabilities, device monitoring, and option modules of the Enterprise edition, but with limits on the amount of data collected. This provides a low cost solution that simplifies the complexity of managing all facility infrastructure and equipment from multiple vendors. The "download and go" software provides a simplified, federated view of real-time performance data and alarms for all networked devices with installation and setup taking less than 1 hour. [More]
OpenData Machine Edition - Managing a limited number of devices in a single location? The OpenData Machine edition is the right answer for your needs. This fully functional, low-cost, unified alarm management and notification solution provides the ability to collect performance data for up to 25 devices in a single site and escalate equipment issues before they become big problems. A low-cost version of the software that is specifically designed to handle the monitoring and alarming requirements of a group of devices at single site. [More]
Not sure what OpenData version is right for your operation, not to worry! Each version of OpenData can be field upgraded to a higher version allowing companies to start small and expand capabilities as they grow. The following chart illustrates the capabilities of each OpenData version.

Dear Friends:
Pop Smith Little League Cleaned up!
I am very proud to announce that the Walter �Pop� Smith Little League returns to New Haven today victorious after winning all three exhibition games at the Little League Baseball World Series Jamboree in Williamsport, PA. Congratulations to the 13 players from New Haven and their coaches for prevailing against North Richmond Little League (Richmond, Va.); Wilkinsburg Little League (Pittsburgh, Pa) and Pelham Parkway Little League (The Bronx, N.Y.). This is a great honor. In 1974 Walter Pop Smith Little league went undefeated through regional play and earned the right to represent the East in the 1974 Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA. Over the years Pop Smith Little league has earned other district, and state accolades and has participated in a very competitive district and state.
West Nile
This season promises to be a tough one for West Nile virus. Mosquitoes trapped in New Haven and West Haven have tested positive for the virus and we have had one fatal case so far. This reminds us all to take personal precautions to avoid mosquito bites. Health experts advise that we minimize time outdoors at dusk and dawn, check door and window screens to be sure they are tight fitting, use mosquito repellent as necessary and do not leave standing water around your property. The New Haven Health Department is working closely with the state on prevention efforts. Additional resources are available at http://dph.state.ct.us
Parish Hall Restored
School Construction has completed 22 new schools to date, with two to open this fall � John C. Daniels and Barnard schools. A unique project that rounds out the mix is the newly restored Parish Hall at 174 Kimberly Ave. The Parish Hall, which is attached to St. Peter�s Church, now features 4,300 square feet of gleaming hard wood floors, stripped and restained interior paneling, a new exterior and even a new bell in the belfry. The restored hall will serve as both a new community space and doubles as extra performance space for the adjoining Betsy Ross Arts Magnet School.
National Violent Crime Summit
Assistant Chief of Police Stephanie Redding and Chief Administrative Officer John Buturla will represent the City of New Haven alongside nearly 50 police chiefs, 11 mayors, several dozen local and federal government leaders, and leading criminologists when they attend the National Violent Crime Summit in Washington, DC on August 30. They will discuss issues related to the rise of violent crime in America. This conference reminds us that New Haven is not alone in coping with an increase in crime. We have an outstanding track record in New Haven for community policing and crime reduction. But we need to get the attention of our national leaders that our cities need help from the very top.
Senior Day Downtown
Wednesday, August 30, 9:30a.m. � 2:30p.m.
The Department of Elderly Services will be hosting a �Senior Day Downtown� in partnership with the New Haven Free Public Library and Cityseed on the New Haven Green. The Department of Elderly Services will be providing transportation for seniors to the event. Seniors can obtain information about the library 50+ Transition Center, receive helpful nutrition information, shop at the Farmer�s Market and enjoy the final day of Blues, Berries and Jam. Each senior will also receive a coupon book for the Farmer�s Market with $15.00 of vouchers that can be used that day.
Thanks for reading my Monday Message. I hope you have a happy and healthy week.
Very truly yours,
John DeStefano, Jr.

Stock Stereo Swap
Ok, I did my best to find this question in the forums with no success. I have an 04' WRX with the stock 6-disc changer that won't play cds. It's been like this since I bought the car a few months back. I can still listen to the FM tuner and play tapes but the cd changer won't allow me to put the discs in to play them. I'd like to keep a "clean" "close-to-stock" looking appearance in my car. My question is, will stock units from all years work in other models or does it have different wiring in the different generations? I'd like to put in a newer stereo with the aux input. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
from my experience they all work...in my old 03 daily I had the head unit out of an 06 STi and it worked fine...I actually might know somebody selling one if your interested
will work fine my wrx is a 04wrx and before i put my kenwood touch screen in it had a sti radio aswell

There are many people around who hold strong beliefs about carpet cleaning or upholstery cleaning, that are simply fallacious. These people are not to be blamed however, because these beliefs are quite common and have been propagated widely over the years, sometimes by recognized and established carpet cleaners.08-09-2012, 12:42 PM #3

Hi wesley9k2,
That's really great you have very valuable antique oriental carpet , many few ppl has their own antiqued piece of art. To maintain them clean is quite time and price consuming, if you are searching any cleaning provider , surf local listing first , you can collect data from local classifieds, newspaper and all. If it doesn't work search online , it might help you.09-20-2012, 04:15 AM #5

LAKELANDS Academy is preparing to take over the running of its on-site sports facilities next week.
The move comes after Shropshire Council announced the decision to stop managing services at the academy last year as they continue to tackle financial pressures from budget cuts of £80 million announced last year.
Tina Evans, academy administrator, said: "The governors of the school have decided we will carry on offering the same facilities so people in the local area can still have their sporting activities.
"The service will be the same for people, we are offering all the same facilities and the same staff will be running it. The only difference will be that they are invoiced by the academy instead of Shropshire Council," she added.
Gwilym Butler, Shropshire Council's Cabinet member for culture and leisure, said: "As a commissioning authority, we are looking to transfer the responsibility for the operation of leisure facilities to local organisations and groups, and indeed this has already taken place with positive results at a number of joint-use sites across the county.
"In the case of Lakelands Sports Centre, it will be ideal for Lakelands Academy to manage the facility as the school is at the heart of the community and understands its needs. This will enable activities and programmes to be based more closely on the demands and needs of users from in and around Ellesmere," he added.
The academy is offering its sports hall, dance studio, all-weather pitch and tennis courts and fitness suite for public use. The hall and dining room are also being offered for use as a meeting venue.
For more information about hiring the facilities call Tina Evans on 01691 627039.

Fishko Files
At one time, songs had lyrics and they had melodies. At some point, singers began to throw away the words AND the melodies, and the result was some of the most exciting, mouth-curling improvised music ever. Sara Fishko has been listening to scat-singers, and that's the subject of this edition of the Fishko Files...
Some great recordings:
Young Anita, Anita O'Day - The Solo Sides
The Rhythm Boys, Harry Barris | Bing Crosby | Al Rinker
Swingin' Easy, Sarah Vaughan

ITV's director of entertainment and comedy, Elaine Bedell, is to succeed Tim Hincks as executive chair of the MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival.
Hincks, chief executive of Endemol UK, will step down after this year's festival, which begins on Friday. He has overseen the event since 2006, when he took over from Dawn Airey.
"Tim has consistently succeeded in making this the media event of the year and I will endeavour to ensure that it remains this way," said Bedell, who oversees ITV shows from The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent to Benidorm and The Brits, and was the festival's advisory chair last year.
"I want to make sure the television festival provides an irresistible invitation for all the key figures in our industry. And that Edinburgh at the end of the summer is the place and the time for all the crucial debates and conversations about the future of television and new media. As well, of course, as offering the opportunity for some fun."
Hincks said: "Running the TV festival for four years had been a privilege and a pleasure. The team around me have been fantastic and Elaine will be a superb executive chair. The festival is in the safest of hands, allowing me to gracefully retire and spend more time with my shareholders."

Hey guys....
Starting to get to the point where i'm going to start buying parts for my engine. The plan is to build a SBC 400 and destroke it to a 377 so I can still have a great amout of HP, parts are easy to find and I can have a nice high side rev.
The plan is a Small Block 400ci block with the following rotating assembly.
I'm not sure WHICH of these i'm going to go with but i think i like the flat top (I've heard a lot of people use them and I figure that if they were that bad i would have heard more bad things about them) but if anyone can make any other suggestions I'm open to them.
THe heads.... Prolly Cast VORTEC heads from GM performance. LIke 289 a head. And i hear the performance is pretty good.
I think i'm limited to what I can use for intakes with those heads so i'll prolly use a polished alum intake made for them.
Carb will prolly be a bolt on of some kind (edelbrock?)
CAM? Geez, I don't know. Suggestions are VERY VERY encourages on this. For the sake of arguement i'm going to throw out this (i'm SURE it's wrong though)
Let's say .470 lift 270 duration @ .050 ?????
If anyone can guess at some HP/Tq #'s i'd love to hear them. I tried destktop dyno but i'm not smart enough to make it function.
Can anyone think of anything that i haven't listed here?
Any other predeictions, warning, cheaper prices or suggested upgreades are MORE THAN WELCOME.
And in advance, YOU GUYS ROCK!!! This is the best board on the net and i will try to help out anyone else that i can.
