A lovely golden straw colour and exceptionally fine bubbles. The nose is full with hints of red fruits. The pinot dominance brings depth and complexity to the palate with a long lasting finish, whilst the Chardonnay adds finesse and freshness. On early release the Cavendish is quite fruit focussed but will continue to develop more complex biscuit and bready characteristics over time. Drink now or age for the next two or three years.
Cherry red with salmon pink highlights and a finely textured, consistent mousse. The nose is fresh, fragrant and inviting, offering light red fruit aromas and hints of biscuity yeast. On the palate the wine is medium bodied and dry, but posessed of a ripe cranberry fruit intensity that balances the bubbles and the crisp finish beautifully.
Formerly known as Prosecco Raboso Rose, this wine is not allowed to present itself with this name any longer, though it still remains a refreshing dry, crisp sparkling rose with cherry drop aromas.
A delicate pale gold with silvery highlights. Persistent bubbles giving an exceptional mousse. The bouquet is subtle with suggestions of honey and brioche which will become more noticeable with ageing. The palate has a firm attack which makes this wine truly refreshing, with citrus and white tropical fruits in abundance. A beautifully balanced finish that lingers on. Dtink now or age for 3 - 4 years.
Crisp, lemony and honeyed, our Brut Reserve is everything you need for indulgence or celebration! Made mainly from Chardonnay, it offers plenty of tropical fruit flavours alongside lime and shortbread undertones and well balanced, fine bubbles.
An intense yet fine and elegant bouquet, with dominant notes of ripe berry fruits (redcurrants, fraises des bois and raspberries) and appealing
hints of orange peel, rose and cumin.Dry and velvety. -
A deep straw yellow. A gentle, yet positive and persistent bouquet, with a note of ripe fruit accompanied by hints of crusty bread, hazelnuts and variegated floral aromas. Dry, elegant and well-balanced. It displays notable personality, with the intense fruity notes that are typical of Chardonnay accompanied by appealing nuances of vanilla and yeast that linger for a long time on the palate.
A pale straw yellow colour with greenish reflections and has a delicate perlage, its fruity aromas carry through to the palate, which is fresh and slightly sweet with a moderate alcoholic volume.
A medium-bodied, refreshing sparkler that is slightly off-dry, yet finishes dry as a result of the delicate tannins from the Cabernet Franc. On the nose there are wonderful aromas of strawberry, peach juice, watermelon and currant. On the palate this wine is bursting with red berries and currants which linger through on the finish with an added note of spice.
A lovely deep golden colour with a persistent fine stream of bubbles. Expressive red fruit aromas followed by a rich complex palate that is balanced by a mouthwatering freshness. The finish is long lasting and beautifully balanced. Being from only red grapes makes it a very distinctive wine.

Victory State Bank: Don't Let Down Your Guard When It Comes to Saving Money
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Now that the holiday shopping season is in full swing, Victory State Bank offers this advice: Don't let down your guard when it comes to saving money.
Black Friday and Small Business Saturday have passed, and Cyber Monday will soon be a memory. But this doesn't mean the best values on holiday shopping are gone.
The bank points to the following suggestions from the Federal Trade Commission for helping you get the best deals when shopping. The bottom line: Some extra research can really pay off.
· Set a Budget. Create a gift list and check it twice to help you stay on track and not overspend.
· Decide What Matters. Especially if you're buying gadgets, know what your "must-have" features are vs. those that are just nice to have.
· Use Search Engines. Type a company or product name into your search engine with terms like "review," "complaint" or "scam" to find out more about it.
· Read Reviews Online. Reviews from other people, experts, and columnists can give you an idea of how a product performs. But don't put all of your trust in one review.
· Consider Reputation. A brand's reputation for quality and good customer service can really pay off.
· Check Comparison Shopping Sites. They connect to many retailers selling the same product, sometimes at significantly different prices. Keep shipping costs in mind.
· Consider Coupons. Some companies offer discounts via e-mail, and some websites collect and list codes for free shipping and other discounts. Search for the store with terms like "discount," "coupon" or "free shipping."
· Read Return Policies. Not all stores have the same rules. Some charge fees for return shipping or restocking things like electronics.
· Decide How to Pay. When you shop online, credit cards can offer extra protections.
· Look for a Secure Checkout. Does the website start with https (the "s" stands for secure) when you're checking out?
· Learn more about researching products online at http://onguardonline.gov/articles/0027-comparing-products-online.

Comprehensive live Internet statistics show worldwide traffic patterns in real-time
Leipzig, 28 September 2011 – ipoque, the leading European provider of Internet traffic management solutions, today announced the launch of its Internet Observatory – the Internet's new spot for real-time Internet traffic statistics from all over the world.
Internet Observatory is the successor of ipoque's Internet Studies, which have been a reliable source for traffic information ever since they were first published in 2006. Although comprehensive, the studies were just snapshots of traffic patterns during a certain time period. Now, with the Internet traffic mix always changing and new applications, particularly in the mobile space, constantly appearing in the market, it is time for something new: Internet Observatory traffic statistics are available live, 24 hours a day, with long-term views instead of just a snapshot.
"We want the Internet Observatory to become an Internet seismograph, an information service for everybody seeking reliable data about what happens on the Internet in various regions of the world, at every time of the day," says Klaus Mochalski, responsible for the project at ipoque. "And we are already seeing a big interest from the Internet community. For instance, we are contributing data collected by our Internet Observatory to an ICT statistics project sponsored by the European Commissions. This is a great motivation for us to continuously extend the data coverage."
Internet Observatory is a modular project and will be continually extended. It collects completely anonymous data from ipoque partners and customers who agreed to contribute to the project and presents them as line, pie or area charts over selectable time intervals.
See http://www.internetobservatory.net/ for further details.
Internet Observatory in Exhibition
Come and meet our experts from 27 to 29 September 2011 at Broadband World Forum in Paris. The ipoque team will be happy to tell you more about Internet Observatory at stand #K3. Just stop by. If you are interested in background information and further details concerning the project, please contact Kristin Wolf at email@example.com.
About ipoque
ipoque provides network intelligence and policy control solutions helping fixed and mobile broadband operators to better understand traffic patterns, monetize new data services and improve the quality of experience for their subscribers. Our application classification and analysis engine enables bandwidth and congestion control, prioritized quality of service delivery and detailed network visibility.
Over 200 broadband operator customers in more than 60 countries across the globe rely on ipoque's policy control solution to limit equipment and operating expenditures, increase profitability and maximize subscriber satisfaction. ipoque was founded in 2005 in Leipzig, Germany, and has become a Rohde & Schwarz company in 2011.

Gansevoort pediatrician says NYC soft drink regulations make sense
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Bucket-size sugary drinks were taken off New York City menus last week in an attempt to curb the obesity epidemic, but not everyone agrees the new regulation will be effective.
The law, which was proposed in the spring by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and approved by a panel of health experts after several months of review, puts a 16-ounce limit on cups and bottles of non-diet soda, sweetened teas and other calorie-packed beverages.
The ban will apply in fast-food joints, movie houses, Broadway theaters, workplace cafeterias and most other places that sell prepared food.
The limit does not pertain to beverages sold in supermarkets or most convenience stores.
Some people, including New York City Board of Health member Dr. Sixto R. Caro, who abstained from voting on the issue, remain skeptical as to whether the ban will help curb obesity. Others, such as Eliot Hoff, a spokesman for New Yorkers for Beverage Choices, protest the loss of their right to choose the volume of their own drinks.
But Dr. Manny Cirenza, a pediatrician with Community Care Physicians in Gansevoort, says the ban makes sense.
"In theory, we could choose wisely on our own," he said. "But we have a history of laws that protect us from ourselves: seat belt laws, car seat laws, smoking bans. This soda ban is just another such regulation."
Ample evidence exists that larger serving sizes increase calorie consumption, Cirenza said. One study, published by the American Journal of Public Health in 2002, was titled "The Contribution of Expanding Portion Sizes to the U.S. Obesity Epidemic." Authors Lisa R. Young and Marion Nestle wrote, "The 7-Eleven Double Gulp, a 64-oz. soda, contains nearly 800 kcal — an amount 10 times the size of a Coca-Cola when it was introduced — and is calorically equivalent to more than one third of the energy requirement of large segments of the population. Increased consumption of fast foods contributes to increased caloric intake; this problem could well be made worse by the 'supersizing' of menu items."
"It's my opinion that the marketing and research departments for these large companies work on appealing to customers by offering large portions," Cirenza said. "Children are especially drawn to soft drinks, which are sweet on their taste buds. These sodas are marketed toward them."
Considering the amount of sugar and calories in soft drinks, it's not a hard leap, Cirenza said, to the connection with obesity. General overeating combined with high-sugar, high-fat foods, the popularity of video games and sedentary activities combine to place many people, particularly children, at risk for weight-related health issues. Obesity is linked to diabetes and heart disease, among other illnesses. Continued...
"Obesity is costing more and more money," Cirenza said. "The onset of Type II diabetes, which used to be in the 30- to 40-year range, is now being seen at 15 to 18 years. The price of insulin, pumps, training and care is high. And no one wishes a disease like that on anyone, much less a child."
Cirenza said he doesn't think large corporations will suffer from the soda ban, just as companies haven't been hurt by the earlier smoking ban. He concluded that limiting soda sizes will help keep obesity down and improve the health of children.
"It will be interesting to see what happens after the ban," he said. "What kind of results will follow? I hope people will look at the law and see that it's a reasonable step to take."

After spending the first month of the season on the disabled list with an injured forearm, Paulino made an impressive debut in a May 5 win over New York, scattering four hits and two walks while striking out six over six shutout innings. He is 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA in two career starts against the White Sox, giving up three runs each in a pair of six-inning efforts.
Floyd has pitched well of late, giving up just four runs in 21 innings over his last three starts while striking out 21 and walking three. He is just 1-1 in those games, though, thanks to an offense that gives him the fifth-worst run support in the majors. Floyd has had trouble with Kansas City in the past, going 3-8 with a 4.59 ERA in 13 lifetime starts.

In 1991, I found out I was pregnant, I informed the biological father who was in the Armed Forces at the time and I had seen off and on for 3 mths, he stated it would be in the best interest for both of us that I had an abortion, he expressed he was not interested in being a father was not willing to make a commitment emotionally or financially. I explained that with or without him I was going to have and would support the baby myself. Being young and naive at the time I was blessed with a lot of support from my parents, friends, and family... they encouraged me to have the child with out regrets. Well after my son was born I called the BF to let him know, and he was irate and started saying that there was no way it could be his and that I knew how he felt about have a kid, after a bit of an arguement I left with my son and a car chase incurred. Afraid of him I called the police and then had a restraining order placed on him. All about this time I found out he was discharged from the service for using drugs, working at some shipping company who a few months later called me up asking for the where abouts of the BF and that he had stolen a large amount of money from them. I asked them how they got my number and I guess the BF had used my parents address as his place a residence. I told the company that that was false information and I explained my situation to them and stated I truly didn't know very much about him. Anyway a few months later a girl from the company called and mentioned that thru an investigation that the BF had returned to his home state in CA.
In 1992, I met my husband and was married in 1993 and we have been happily married since. In 1996, prior to the start of school, we changed our sons last name to that of my husband. My husband has raised our 16 YO son as his own and we also have two other children together. We recently purchased a home in NC and my husband wants to legally adopt our son. I have never heard from his BF since he's left my home state. My parents still live in the home I grew up with the same old phone number and not once has the BF tried to contact my son or I. I should add that he was not added to the birth cert. and I never tried to have paternity proven. I never asked or received any type of assistance for supporting my son. My husband has supported all three of my children and myself since we were togehter. I would also love to complete my story with a happy ending....my question is does our situation fall into abandoment or disinterest and will I have to do a search for the BF. If anyone has any information that would be useful I would greatly appreciate it. Is there a way we can do this pro se with out hiring anyone. I am sorry my story was long however I tried to keep it short but tried to fill you in on as much details in case it was pertinent to my plea.

I'm not sure what to make of this - a competition to find the 'best' young academics ... Anyway, it's taken place and ten winners have now been announced.
It will be interesting to listen to the resulting broadcasts. (I suppose the most marketable ones will end up on television making various programmes about everything except the subjects they know about )
" ...each night from Tuesday 28 June, and for nine subsequent editions of Night Waves, a New Generation Thinker will talk about an idea inspired by their research."

EDITORIAL: Delco firefighters help their own in N.Y, N.J.
We're used to the sight of local firefighters -- overwhelmingly volunteers -- rushing to the scene of disaster to save lives and property from destruction. Indeed, we expect it. Sometimes we tend to forget how extraordinary these folks are, how much they sacrifice for the welfare of their neighbors.
Delaware County was largely spared the worst effects of Hurricane Sandy, the superstorm that swept the East Coast on Halloween week. But there are those in nearby New Jersey and New York who bore her full wrath and are still trying to put the pieces back together again. Some of them are firefighters. And the brave and caring men and women from Delaware County's fire service are coming to their aid as well.
Tomorrow firefighters from across the county are holding a benefit bonfire to raise funds for fire companies in New Jersey that lost equipment, fire trucks and buildings to Sandy. Some lost everything, from turnout gear to trucks.
The benefit will be held from 6-9 p.m. Saturday at the Lenni Heights Fire Co., 312 Lenni Road, in the Lenni section of Middletown. All are welcome. Top items on the wish list are gift cards, cash, checks, non-perishables, batteries, hand warmers, wool socks, and winter gloves. PayPal donations can be made to email@example.com. Wawa Markets is helping out, donating 2,700 containers of juice to the fund raiser.
Donations of gear and equipment are also being accepted at the Yeadon, Green Ridge and Newtown Square fire companies at any time.
Volunteers at Collingdale Fire Co. No. 2 have gone even further. Members donated the department's 1987 Hahn pumper to the Broad Channel Volunteer Fire Department in Queens, N.Y. The century-old Broad Channel department, one of 10 volunteer fire departments in New York City, lost two fire engines, two ambulances and nearly all its fire-fighting equipment to the hurricane. The station, which took in about 5 feet of water, was damaged as well.
The Broad Channel neighborhood was under water for several hours. The fire department's 1988 Hahn pumper, operating at the Breezy Point neighborhood where an out-of-control, six-alarm blaze destroyed some 50 homes, caught fire after an electrical short and was totaled. Its 1984 Maxim, which also operated throughout the storm, was totaled by flood waters.
Patrick Kilroy, deputy chief of Collingdale No. 2, said members decided to make the donation after receiving an inquiry from the National Firefighters Endowment Fund about the pumper, which was up for sale. It was valued at $5,000.
Kilroy was among the 15 department and family members who delivered the pumper on Saturday. They also delivered two truckloads of equipment donated from Collingdale No. 1, Darby No. 1, Glenolden, Folcroft and Holmes fire departments. The Nazarene Church of Collingdale supplied 15 crates of food, which was delivered to the American Legion and a FEMA post for distribution.
"We were very well received, and they loved the truck," Kilroy said. Continued...
We've always known that those who protect us through Delaware County's volunteer fire service are very special indeed. Now the good people of New York and New Jersey know it, too.
We salute them all.

He drove alone. His wife of one year, pregnant with their son, followed in another car.
Little took exit 185 off Interstate 20, drove straight through Oxford and Anniston without noticing much of anything and stopped only once he reached "the woods."
Back then, Anniston was nothing more than another "regular Army assignment" to the man who has years later become its most polarizing city figure.
"I had no idea I would be staying here," Little said in a recent interview.
He would stay. More than that, he would come to see himself as a leader for black residents, a champion of individual rights, a whistleblower on political wrongdoing. It's a vision of himself that overlooks what his political foes frequently point out: his inability to compromise, use of intimidation to get what he wants, racial rhetoric when he does not.
But before all of this — before the councilman, before the pastor, before the drill sergeant — there was the boy. The boy running wide open down a dirt road, swinging up onto his aunt's porch, sneaking bites of sweet homemade preserves. The boy cropping tobacco and hitching a mule cart to the family dog. Going to church on Sundays, basketball practice in the afternoons. Dreaming at nights about seeing the world.
The road into Hemingway, S.C., is quiet, dotted with farms and low-country churches, wisteria vines and planted pines. The town proper is just two streets — Main and Broad — flanked by a railroad and Don's Car Crushing company on one end — Haseldon Brothers Ford and Greg Askins' law firm on the other.
"Hemingway was an easy, slow place," Town Administrator Joe Lee said recently, asked to recall the era of Little's childhood. "Ben is a product of that."
Little was born there in 1957 to a poor single woman who already had four children. She gave him up for adoption to a railroad man and his wife, a woman famous for her homemade biscuits. About 1,000 people called Hemingway home when Little grew up there. About 600 live there today.
When Little was a boy, trust came easy to Hemingway residents, said Lee, Little's former basketball coach. It was a place where people left their doors unlocked, violent crimes happened only rarely and everyone knew everyone else's names. Hemingway residents — black and white — attribute the relative ease of integration to the low-key, friendly culture that was already in place.
"It wasn't like what you heard about happening in other places during that time," Little said. "It wasn't racism-free, but it was nice."
He lived, as most of his extended family did, on farmland along a rural road about 5 miles outside of Hemingway. The area was and still is known as Hog Crawl. It takes some guess-work and backtracking to find it, because — among the cow fields, rows of tilled tobacco, and swampy, Spanish-moss covered woods — road signs and other markers are few and far between.
But you'll know you're there if you pass the old Tupperware plant, take a right, drive a couple of miles, take a left and drive a few more.
You'll see a group of small wooden houses, neat front yards and a basketball court. This is where Little grew up and where many of his family members still live.
"It was a village and a wholesome lifestyle," Little's cousin Sylvia Brown Woods agreed. "All of our aunts and uncles were parents."
She and Little were two of the 75 black students chosen for Hemingway's first integration program in 1970. They remember a few initial problems: Blacks and whites were forced to sit on separate sides of the bus and classrooms, and occasionally white teachers would focus their attention only on the white side of the room. "But after the initial years of integration, things really panned out," Little said. "A lot of racial stuff just went away."
Anniston seemed a darker place, Little said, a harder place for blacks than Hemingway was. Stories of the Freedom Rides and the 1961 Anniston bus-burning, the difficult integration of city schools, the white flight from the western and southern parts of the city stood out to Little as he and his wife went through the motions of settling down in the Model City. In September 1984, they purchased a small west Anniston home at 2924 Moore Ave. That year, Little began attending church at Gaines Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church — the only AME church in Anniston.
He hadn't made up his mind to stay. It would take another decade, ordainment as the pastor of Gaines Chapel and retirement from the Army to convince him of that. But already, he said, he'd felt like his skin color was more of an issue here than it had been in Hemingway.
"I wasn't thinking about making Anniston better," Little said of his first years. "I was just thinking about being who I am, surviving."
On June 17, 2010, a contractor working for the City of Anniston paved a private parking lot for a West Anniston church. Two weeks later, the city paid the $3,370 bill. For the past six months, city finance officials have been trying to get the Greater Calvary Baptist Church to pay them back.
The parking lot should never have been paved by a city contractor or paid for by the city in the first place, said Finance Director Danny McCullars and Public Works Director Bob Dean. But technically it wasn't illegal.
It was just a small example of the influence of Little, who by the time the parking lot was paved had spent a decade on the Anniston City Council.
An Anniston ordinance allows the city to do public works projects on private land if it's in a right-of-way or for a greater public use — as long as the private owner foots the bill. But it was a questionable use of city time and labor, a couple of officials said.
"I resisted it for six months, but I got an email from the city manager basically begging me to get it done," Dean said recently.
City Manager Don Hoyt ordered it done, he said, because Little asked for it. Hoyt told a reporter it was ultimately his own call to make. For his part, Little said it was important and necessary for the city to pave the church lot — especially because some of that lot is in the right-of-way. At least he goes through the proper channels to get projects done, Little said. He said other officials accomplish things by doing it "on the hush-hush."
Hoyt agreed it benefited the public to pave that lot — at the corner of Constantine and Chestnut avenues — because it kept cars from having to park on the roads, causing congestion. But Dean said Little pressured Hoyt into committing to the project.
"He thinks he can intimidate me, that's all," Hoyt said of Little when asked whether the councilman bullies him. "That's his way. At some point, it's just better to get over something and go on."
Little's transformation from non-committal Anniston resident to outspoken city councilman took time.
The process began when he was ordained in 1992 as a pastor at Gaines Chapel AME. In his new role, he heard parishioners' first-hand accounts of their problems. That's when he began to see himself as their voice, the champion of their causes. Little didn't attend theology school to become a pastor. Instead, he attended several training classes taught by AME church elders, he said.
Jesse Buchanan, a Gaines Chapel parishioner, recalls Little's determination to help out during the famous blizzard of 1993. Many of the church members were stranded in their homes and needed help clearing driveways, getting food and other supplies.
Little was stationed at Fort Jackson, S.C., when the storm blew through. But tales of closed interstates and icy road conditions didn't stop him from coming to his parishioners' aid, they said.
"It's amazing that he even made it, but he did," Buchanan said. "That's just the kind of pastor he was."
Little remembers the drive. He made it to the Georgia-Alabama state line on Interstate 20 when traffic in the westbound lanes came to a standstill.
So, Little drove his truck across the median into the eastbound interstate lanes.
"I came all the way into Anniston that way," he said.
A Calhoun County Commission decision to burn a homeless man's refuge under a city bridge launched Little into civic life.
In April 1997, the commission called the scraps and debris under the Lenlock Bridge "a public health nuisance" and set it on fire. Little took local officials to task. Speaking as a concerned pastor, he called the commission's decision a violation of human rights and an inappropriate response to local poverty.
Afterward, Commissioner J.D. Hess met with Little and another minister; they agreed to create a committee to deal with the county's homeless population. That idea was eventually abandoned. Instead, the commission asked Little to accept a position as the board president of a local anti-poverty agency, Community Services of Calhoun and Cleburne Counties.
The group served low-income residents of both counties, providing financial assistance for electric and medical bills, mortgage payment and job training.
"He would help out anybody who needed help, if they were doing what was right," said Martha Sims, who worked with Little on the Calhoun County Board of Registrars around the same time.
Buchanan said he doesn't recognize the man he says Little has become.
The arguments and the grandstanding he reads about in the paper seem a far cry from the man who once led his church. Other former parishioners at Gaines Chapel AME refused to be interviewed about Little: the councilman or the church pastor.
"He was always an ambitious person," Buchanan said. "But he is a different person now."
Little stood on the corner of West 15th Street and Cobb Avenue and accused police officers of racist behavior. The 75 people surrounding him seethed, pressing closer as women jabbed their fingers in his face. They hurled insults in his direction and ridiculed his comments. "You do not stand for anything right," Anniston resident Amber Sprayberry shouted during the Sept. 1, 2011, conference.
It was hardly the first time Little staged a gathering of this sort. He's made numerous allegations of police discrimination since he took office more than a decade ago. But his vague examples and first-hand accounts of perceived slights by the Police Department rarely generate much attention from large numbers of residents.
But last September it was different: Little was making the allegations just one week after an Anniston police officer had been fatally shot by a suspect he was chasing. The death of Officer Justin Sollohub rocked the community, and so did Little's comments about the tragedy.
The day after Sollohub — a white officer — was allegedly shot by Joshua Eugene Russell — a black west Anniston resident — Little remarked in a newspaper article that the police were to blame for the distrust between their department and the community.
The backlash was immediate: Sollohub's family asked police to turn Little away when he arrived to pay respects at the widely attended funeral. A week later, the crowd showed up at Little's roadside conference to criticize his tactics. The next couple of City Council meetings — which rarely see more than a handful of residents — were packed with people, some of whom publicly expressed hope that Little would somehow be removed from office. It only made Little more resolute.
"I hadn't planned on running again," Little said last week. "But the determination of people to force me out makes me want to run.
"They can't force me out."
The Hemingway High Tigers won the 1974 state basketball championship, but one particular game got out of control.
Pamplico High was using Little and his Hemingway Tiger teammates to wipe the floor. And at this point, Little wasn't on the floor. He'd fouled out.
At 6-foot-3, the 17-year-old Little was a key player — and wasn't afraid to dunk, former teammate and friend Greg Askins remembered — but he was always too quick to put an elbow where it didn't belong, coach Joe Lee said.
That's why he was sitting on the bench next to Lee.
They both watched as a Pamplico player fouled Askins. When his teammate approached the free-throw line, Little said he could feel the tension pouring off his coach.
Askins launched the first free-throw shot at the goal. No sooner than the telltale swish of success: "Coach Lee hit me and said, 'Greg is tough under pressure,'" Little recalled.
Seconds later, Askins tried for the second shot.
"And darn if I didn't miss the doggone shot altogether," said Askins, now a prominent Hemingway attorney.
And Lee started cussing, and Little started laughing.
"That's just how Ben was: He was very laid-back, always smiling," Lee said. "He treated everybody well, didn't matter who you were.
"Everybody liked Ben."
Many Anniston people won't even talk on the record about Little. But with those who do, there is little middle ground.
People who want him out of office say he's a troublemaker, an opportunist and, at worst, a race-baiter.
People who support him say he is an intelligent leader, loyal Christian and brave advocate of civil and individual rights.
Though opinions are split, three terms on the City Council have revealed this: Little's loyalty to people who consistently support him is starkly underscored by his anger at those who prevent him from getting his way.
"He is highly trained. He is educated," said state Rep. Barbara Boyd, an Anniston Democrat who defended her state House seat from Little when he ran against her as a Republican in 2002. "But on the other hand, he lacks the ability and the skills to compromise."
The councilman's political opponents admit that, one-on-one, he's an amiable guy. Even Mayor Gene Robinson, Little's current council nemesis, remembers a road trip to Montgomery the two took just after the mayor was elected. Little invited Robinson to go with him to an Alabama League of Municipalities meeting. The two stopped at a restaurant on the way home. They chatted together about their upbringings and some of the projects they hoped to start during the next term.
"He was very talkative, very personable," Robinson admitted. "We kinda had gotten off to a good start, I thought."
But with the first few council meetings, that quickly changed. Name-calling, explosive tempers and frequent bickering between the two have marked and marred the council's past four years.
"His constantly demeaning voice, the tension, the attacks started right off the bat," Robinson said. "You never could give him enough. If he didn't get his way, he went ballistic."
Many who know Little — whether they served on past councils with him, attended his church or served with him at Fort McClellan — declined to comment for this story, citing fear of lawsuits, becoming a target of Little's very public wrath or general disdain at even having to think about him.
"I don't want to comment," said Calvin Jones, who served at Fort McClellan with Little. "I don't want to re-open old wounds."
Little joined the Army in 1975 after a recruiter came to Hemingway High. He saw it as his chance to see the world and make a living after graduation.
The hierarchy, structure and physical and mental tests — all were things that Little appreciated after years of growing up on a tobacco farm and playing on an elite basketball team.
In just two years, Little ascended to the rank of sergeant, setting the foundation for his later rise to the rank of first sergeant and his job as drill sergeant. In 1977, he was in Erlangen, Germany, serving in a combat support unit. There, he met the man he calls his military mentor: a fellow non-commissioned officer named Willie J. Larry.
When Little arrived in Erlangen, he said, he was a typical 18-year-old. He liked going to clubs and playing on the post basketball team with his friends. Larry said he saw potential in Little and, over time, began to increase his administrative responsibilities.
"Willie J. Larry set the standards for me about soldiering in general, mannerism and professionalism," Little said.
In addition to Little's regular duties, Larry gave him lessons on how to take care of financial rosters, make personnel decisions and keep track of other records.
"He was a very young man who responded to orders and instruction, was used to discipline and knew how to cooperate," Larry said in a recent phone interview.
Little's steady advancement through the Army ranks continued with his transfer back stateside — first to Fort Carson, Colo., and afterward to Fort Knox, Ky. There, as a 21-year-old in 1978, he began drill sergeant school.
"He had a good spiritual background," said Larry. "And he was a born leader."
Little was in a kitchen on a base in Fulda, Germany, when he got the orders. He had just made rank as an E7, sergeant first class, and was enjoying a hot plate of ham-hocks and black-eyed peas.
"Someone said, 'Hey, Little, pack your bags,'" Little remembered.
He was 24 years old, and he'd been chosen to lead a platoon on 76 miles of the Czechoslovakia border.
Looking back on that time, the councilman expressed wonderment.
Sometimes, he said, it was hard being so young and being in charge, but he tried to balance fairness with politeness, and it worked.
"It was what Willie J. Larry taught me," Little said. "And one thing the soldiers knew: No one was going to mess with them; if someone messed with them, they'd have a problem with me."
Little had that same attitude early on as a pastor for Gaines Chapel, as the board president of the Community Services of Calhoun and Cleburne Counties and later as the minister for Refuge Full Gospel Methodist Church. In 1992, he was ordained as the full-time pastor, even though he was stationed at Fort Knox. For the next three years, Little drove hours from wherever he was stationed to Anniston each Sunday to preach. The drives were long, but he never missed a service.
"They were my parishioners," Little said. "They depended on me, and I was not going to let them down."
In 1995, he retired from the Army and made Anniston his home. By then, he was divorced from his wife (for a second time; the two had divorced once in 1987, remarried and divorced again four years later). She and their two children had moved back to South Carolina, and Little's sole focus in Anniston was helping his parishioners.
"I worked hard at it," he said. "I considered jumping over into the political arena."
He left Gaines Chapel in 2004 after a disagreement, he says, with some of the AME organization elders. Half of the congregation came with Little; they eventually decided to start a new church — Refuge Full Gospel. About 115 people are registered church members, Little said. But only 24 people attended a recent Sunday service.
Little's children, Broderick and Siobhan, don't resent their father for his preoccupation with the church and his political office in Anniston. He was good father, they say, a strong one. They saw him several times a year when he'd visit them at their Columbia, S.C., home. He'd show up for Siobhan's poetry recitals, to play basketball with Broderick before school tryouts. He didn't get angry a lot; he was always honest with them, they said.
"He's always going to do what's right — that had a significant impact on me," said Broderick, a 27-year-old accountant. "It might have been better he wasn't around so much, because there was no opportunity for him to prove me wrong.
"He consistently set a good example for me."
Siobhan is 24 and recently graduated from the University of South Carolina with a degree in business administration. Although Little hasn't obtained a college degree, Siobhan said she couldn't have gotten hers without his help.
"Sometimes, I'd be like: 'I want to just quit, I don't want to do anymore,'" she remembered. "He would say: 'Your reward will be much greater if you get your degree.'"
Little and their mother, a schoolteacher in Newberry, S.C., have always been cordial to each other, Siobhan said. She could never try to play one off the other; if she did, Little would call her mom — then call Siobhan's bluff.
Little's children know something of the controversy that surrounds their father, the councilman. They read news articles online, lend an ear when Little is frustrated. Though their own experiences with their father are rarely troubled, neither is surprised at what they read or hear. Their father is stubborn, they say.
"He's set in his ways, I'll put it like that," Broderick said with a laugh. "Being able to compromise is a desired trait; he has the ability to do that but — he is a polarizing figure, definitely."
Recently, Little has again tried to pressure Hoyt, as revealed in a email exchange obtained by The Star under Alabama's open records law.
In the exchange, Little verbally attacks Hoyt's character, his ability to do his job and insinuates that Hoyt favors the requests of white residents over blacks.
Specifically, when Hoyt balked at ordering city workers to install a guardrail on the road in front of a Ward 3 resident's home, Little accused Hoyt of being a manager only "for the few." The resident, who lives at 410 Allen Ave., had in January complained to Little about a driver almost running his car onto the home's front yard.
Little then launched an email exchange with Hoyt, directing him to put in a work order to install a guardrail on the property.
A reply email from Hoyt on Feb. 29 first told Little there was no money in the budget for his request.
"Just as I would expect in the Black area there is no money," Little wrote in his reply later that day. "Again, you spend what you want to without council approval, now a danger to citizen exist and you say we don't have any money, what a problem. Or you a manager for all or the few, the people or the few."
The next day, Hoyt gave in.
"Bob, I'm crying 'uncle,'" he wrote to the public works director. "Please add a work order for a short stretch of guard rail at 410 Allen."
Little doesn't see the push for the city to install that guardrail as a problem. Not at all — that he had to even put pressure on Hoyt at all is the problem, Little said recently when asked about the exchange.
He thinks Hoyt should have had public works crews installing the guardrail as soon as he asked him to do it.
"Don Hoyt was talking about a five-year plan — how stupid and idiotic is that?" he asked a reporter. "Every city manager, once they get in there for a while, thinks they are bigger than they are."
Little isn't sure yet whether he will run for re-election this August. But he mentions his growing conviction that a "phantom few" are controlling the actions of his political opponents and his determination to overcome public opposition as reasons he wants a fourth term.
Pressed about who exactly he believes is controlling city political decisions, Little replied, "It would not be good of me to say."
Many Ward 3 residents said they hope he will run again. They say their area of the city is better because he is in office.
"We owe a lot to him," Pine Avenue resident Charles Brooks said. "He keeps our area clean and helps us get things done."
A west Anniston pastor, who recently had to close his church because of lack of attendance, said Little earns voter support because he is always available to anyone who wants to express frustration.
"He meets with people, discusses the problems in our community, listens to suggestions about how to make it better," John Miller said. "His heart belongs to this community, and I appreciate that."
Brooks said he never would've gotten the city to pave the alleyway behind his house on Pine Avenue without Little.
But Andrew Abdulhaqq, a longtime West Anniston resident and newly appointed president of the local chapter of the Alabama New South Coalition, said Little hasn't done anything substantial for Ward 3.
Timothy Hawkins, the owner of Tim's Barber Shop on West 15th Street, doesn't know Little, but said he doesn't like the argumentativeness that comes across in newspaper articles. He said west Anniston needs representatives who are willing to work with other city leaders to address its problems — the overreaching issues of poverty, unemployment and crime — and wishes Little would get serious about major revitalization projects in Ward 3.
"Really what you have from Councilman Little is just rhetoric," he said.
And as a black resident, Abdulhaqq does not like the rhetoric he is hearing.
"Little injects race into everything, so the perception — as he stands in protest in front of Cooper Homes — is that he's dealing with unfairness," he said.
Little believes his unyielding, outspoken style is the only way to get other city leaders to pay attention to his ward residents. He says it works, offering up public work-order records as proof.
So far in fiscal 2012, 42 percent of the 751 work orders completed by the Public Works Department have been in Little's ward. Of last fiscal year's 1,443 Public Works projects, 32 percent happened in Ward 3, compared to 19 percent in both Wards 1 and 4 and 31 percent in Ward 2. And the numbers for previous years are much the same.
"That shows I am there, doing the work I need to be doing to take care of the people who put me into office," he said.
He does not believe he's a bully when he questions the city manager's character or insinuates that he cannot do his job.
"I am going to be on their case to get things done," Little said. "That's not being a bully. That's just doing your job."
But Little admits that his delivery needs some improvement.
"The weakness with me is the way that I come across. I'm too blunt, I guess," he said. "But it is what it is."

The Edwin Mellen Press asks three questions when it does receive a proposal:
- What would this manuscript contribute to the scholarly discussion?
- How would this manuscript advance, qualify, or redirect the state of the question?
- How does the author relate what he or she has to say to what other scholars in this field are discussing?
These questions at their base depend on a prior question, namely, Why has the author written this manuscript? We ask this question first because we do not want to publish books that simply reiterate what scholars already know, on the one hand, and because we do not want to publish books written primarily for non-scholars, on the other hand. Instead, we want to publish books that add scholarly information to what is already known.
To get at the contribution to scholarship, then, we focus on the author's idea behind the manuscript. What is new in the author's argument, analysis, or information? How will this advance the scholarly conversation?
The job of the publisher's editor is to decide whether this idea for a book is a good one. Only when the editor is convinced of this is an author's proposal submitted to the Editorial Board. For those proposals endorsed by this board, a publishing agreement is issued to the author.
Every manuscript must be peer reviewed when it is completed. Yet, the peer reviewer is not making a decision about publication; that has already been made by the editorial board. Mellen wants to provide each author both editorial guidance and critical feedback until the final manuscript is completed.
Sometimes this process is ongoing as in the case of three series begun in the 1980s: Opera Reference Index, Toyko War Crimes transscripts, and Schleiermacher Translations.

text: Lady Victoria's Priceless PearlsPhoto/ Text by Donna MalloyThe Hidden Staircase. Webbed though out the hotel, secret passages like this one exhibits years of wear from the service staff of the Belleview Biltmore. Morton Friedman Plant, son of railroad tycoon Henry Bradley Plant, observed her from across the room at the Belleview. Used to getting what he wanted, Morton was not concerned that the captivating woman was with her third husband. Not dissimilar to the movie "Indecent Proposal" where Robert Redford's character offers Demi Moore's husband $1 million dollars for a date with his wife, Morton offered the woman's husband $8 million dollars in exchange for his wife. Who was this engaging woman who captured the heart of one of American's most eligible bachelors at the time? Later in life, she would be known as Maisie Plant, a New York socialite. Born in 1878, Mae Caldwell Manwring Plant, like her husband, became accustomed to the finer things money could buy and no one said no to Maisie, except Morton. Shortly after they were married, a double strand of natural pearls caught her attention. Maisie coveted them, but Morton refused to purchase them for her. Undaunted, crafty Maisie devised a plan. She approached the jeweler, Pierre Cartier, and made him an offer he couldn't refuse. In exchange for the pearl necklace, the Plants would give Cartier his first flagship store in America; their Neo-Renaissance mansion on Fifth Avenue. The year was 1915; the pearls were priced at $1.2 million dollars and the House of Cartier has remained at this location for the last 94 years. Maisie was floating on air. Now she could proudly pass along through the hallways of the Belleview, head held high and her neck encrusted with the $1.2 million dollar, double strand of natural pearls. But would her happiness last forever? The eyewitness, for obvious reasons, wishes to remain anonymous. He relates the following story: "Working at the Belleview in the 80's was different than it is today. Back then, the staff had access to the service stairwells that had hidden entrances to every floor. Using the staircases instead of the elevators, the staff could work behind the scenes, undetected by hotel guests. They could also sneak up to the 5th floor and smoke, undetected. On one occasion, the Houseman, who was responsible for organizing the maid staff, started his shift on the 4th floor. Something caught his attention. As he looked up from his cart, a woman materialized in front of him. Adorned in violet-blue, her hooped skirt encompassed the entire hall. So frightened was the Houseman that he ran out of the hotel shouting: 'I saw her, I saw her.' The Houseman never returned; not even to pick up his last pay check." In years to follow, the Victorian woman has become known as Lady Victoria. Or maybe Lady Victoria is really the ghost of Maisie Plant. Legend has it that even today, Maisie's ghost restlessly roams the hallways of the Belleview, searching for her lost pearls. According to "Wisdom of Pearls," Jill Newman, Maisie's pearl necklace did show up in 1957. At a Parke Bernet auction, Maisie's necklace sold for a mere $150,000. More recently, in 2004, a similar natural, double-strand pearl necklace sold at Christie's for $3.1 million dollars. Because only one gem-quality pearl is uncovered from every 25,000 wild oysters found in the ocean, these pearls are considered the rarest in the world today. And because farming these perishable mollusks is a costly enterprise, one strand of the pearls can command up to $100,000. If only Plants' heirs had held on to her necklace for a few more decades, they could have sold Maisie's pearls for much more. As the saying goes; be careful what you wish for. |

Wacky Tacky Minnesota
Best known to fans of the fantastical as the land of giant sculptures, Minnesota offers plenty of bizarre and humorous attractions.
You can make your own judgments about the exhibits at the Twin Cities' larger art museums and sculpture parks, but many of the smaller galleries are brave enough to skirt the edges of wacky, if not tacky. And searching the Mall of America for tackiness is shooting fish in a barrel.
South of town, in Wykoff, the incomparable Ed's Museum is all about one nobody and his stuff. You can't seriously search for wacky and tacky Minnesota without seeing Austin's SPAM Museum, Blue Earth's 47-foot-tall Jolly Green Giant statue, Hooper-Bowler-Hillstrom House's two-story outhouse in Belle Plaine, and Darwin's giant twine ball.
If that's not enough for you, you can learn about the silly legend of the Kensington Runestone in Alexandria, where the 28-foot-tall Viking Big Ole welcomes you to the "Birthplace of America."
There's an abundance of oversized statuary farther north, in and around Fergus Falls, including the world's largest otter, prairie chicken, and pelican. Brainerd is positively overrun with giant Paul Bunyan statues, including one that talks. There are also some giant walleye sculptures around Lake Mille Lacs and a fishing-bobber water tower in Pequot Lakes.
Bemidji's Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox statues inspired the whole trend of oversized sculptures in Minnesota, and Akeley claims Minnesota's tallest Paul Bunyan (well, he would be if he stood up).

Hello Kristin, you are such a great photographer! About 6 years ago, I bought a Cannon D40. Unfortunately, I can't seem to make the time to take the pics off the chips and do something with them. It has become an overwhelming task. The thousands and thousands of memories are sitting there. I think that's the challenge with this wonderful digital photography. One of these days...
Love the light in the last pic.
Have a wonderful weekend, beautiful!

I want to tell you H5O really has it going on…Starting with you :-) Your staff is young, yet very professional…they are all extremely polite, helpful and kind.

It was as comfortable as you stated :-) Everyone commented on the beds. Convenience to the venue perfect! I truly regret not having the rehearsal dinner here…Thanks again for all your time working with me, you are wonderful at your job! Genuinely diplomatic, good problem solving skills, apparently encouraging leadership of your staff to do the same…my son's wedding was THE MOST SPECIAL DAY of my LIFE!
At Hotel Fifty we understand it matters not so much what we tell you about our hotel facilities, services, staff and how they 'come together' to ensure thoughtfully-executed wedding events that touch all your senses. What matters most is what former brides and grooms, their families and guests and even their vendor partners are saying about their wedding experiences here. Among the most recognized wedding review sites is, of course, WeddingWire. Read for yourself the consistently favorable reviews our hotel generates. And see why Hotel Fifty is so highly valued among the many greater Portland area wedding lodging choices.

Shoppers Hit the Mall for Post-Holiday Sales
By: Bejoy Joseph
Updated: December 28, 2012
Just after Christmas, shoppers are barring long lines at Hagerstown Valley Mall to spend a little extra holiday cash.
There are some extreme sales of up to 80% off. One store manager said that the post-holiday season is a perfect way for the store to increase revenue during it's busiest month of the year. For local shoppers its a win-win situation.
"The sales are exceptionally better, so I would rather wait till after Christmas, than worry about before Christmas, I'm saving a lot more," says Britney Potter, a West Virginia resident.
Mall officials say post-shopping holiday deals for some stores are running until January 8th.
