Stretching is important for moms in so many ways. For stress busting, pain relief, suppleness, optimal alignment and postnatal healing, regular stretching is essential.
But the odd squat, lunge or calf stretch half-heartedly topping and tailing a mega workout isn't enough to ensure that you experience the huge benefits of stretching. Stretching needs to be done right to get the most from it.
Five Tips to Maximise the Benefits of Stretching
- Be in the moment: Are you talking to the muscles you are stretching? If not, it's time to start. Think about them, give them your full attention, focus on how good the stretch feels, breathe with the stretch to allow it to reach its full potential. Benchmark your stretch and how far you can take it and notice the muscle becoming increasingly supple over time.
- Hit your wall, don't try & break it down: Breathing with your stretch gets oxygen to your muscles and may allow you to stretch a little further. But when you hit the wall where the stretch no longer feels comfortable and you experience the first sensation of resistance, STOP. If your body is shaking, straining or hurting, you are overstretching.
- Stretching isn't a competitive sport: If your neighbour in a yoga class can stretch further than you, so be it. While she may be able to touch her feet in a forward bend or triangle pose, you might need to rest your hands on a block. That's cool, you need to listen to your own body, rather than try to compete with people who are more flexible.
- Slow and steady is the key: Hold each stretch for a minimum of 30 seconds. In between stretches, allow the muscle time to release fully. If you rush, your muscles become tense and resist the stretch.
- The force should not be with you: There is no shortcut to a more supple body. Your muscles need to be stretched consistently over time to gain suppleness and strength. Never force anything and be patient.
So now we've got the theory in place, it's time to put stretches into practise. Incorporate the following stretches into your daily routine and your body will soon start to feel the benefits. You will feel looser, less tense, more energetic and less blighted by aches and pains.
Five "Can't Live Without 'Em" Body Brightening Stretches
- The Supersize Stretch: Take a big step forward and land with one foot well in front of the other. Invert the front foot and keep both legs straight. Don't tuck your tailbone under. Grip a resistance band with both hands and raise your arms above your head with your hands wider than shoulder width apart and the band taut. Bend forward with a straight back, extending over the front leg, then come back up again and take the band right over your head and down behind you to reach your butt. Repeat 5 times, then switch legs and repeat the set on the other side.
Do you feel the speed bumps in your shoulders and back iron out? Do you feel loosened up and more supple throughout the torso? Good!
- The Leg Lengthener: Stand with the toes of one foot raised by a half moon roller (or rolled up towel) and the other foot flat on the floor to the side. Both legs are straight and there is no tension in your backside or thighs. Draw your belly button in, but keep your butt untucked and relaxed. Gradually walk the leg that is not resting on the roller to the front, side and back of the roller, while keeping an upright posture.
How do those calves feel now? Longer, leaner, lighter? Great!
- The Back Brightener: Stand back from your balance ball and bend forward with a straight back and arms outstretched, resting on the ball. Lift your tailbone up towards the ceiling. Slowly shift your weight from one foot to the other, rolling out your thighs and placing weight on the outsides of your feet, lifting your feet at the arches.
Do you feel like you grew an inch or two? Stand tall, mama!
- Reach For The Stars: From a standing position, jump your feet apart. Lift your arms parallel to the floor, stretched out to the sides, palms down. Invert your right foot slightly and turn your left foot out to the left at 90 degrees. Bend your left leg so that your knee is in line with the centre of your ankle. Exhale and extend your torso to the left, directly over your left thigh, bending from the hip joint. Rest your left forearm on your left thigh, as you reach your right arm towards the ceiling, alongside your face. Look up to your raised arm. Stay in this pose for a few breaths; then inhale to come up. Reverse and repeat to the right.
Do your waist and arms feel stretched and limber? You bet!
- The Comfortable Corkscrew: Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Take your arms out to the sides and rest them with palms facing down. Allow both your knees to drop to one side and relax your legs completely, feeling the stretch in the lower back and the side of your waist. Keep both shoulders on the floor and turn your head gently in the opposite direction. Hold for at least 30 seconds before coming back to the centre and switching to the other side.
I love the way this irons out kinks in the back and whittles the waist!
Let's stretch ourselves
Stretching feels so good! Do it now, do it right, do it regularly – and feel your body gain vibrancy and lightness. Feeling flexible and pain-free is anti-aging, so ditch the creams and start stretching!

Michael Soussan
Sandy Koufax, and the relationship between the colour green, the Maccabees and Judaism.
you r the man. i hope u see this and know exactly who this is one day, if not it was ur favaorite student to ever interupt a gym class and kick a homerun
The greatest man to ever enter Bialik High School. God Bless you Souss
Well Mr. Soussan, to me, you might not give the best marks, or pick out of the crowd to set an example, but you are a nice man and you got me into shape!! Anyways, please just give me better marks this term! Thanks!
i had him in 97 and was extremely unfocused and constantly reminded us to be serious.
I had him in '93, and he was the best. He didn't just try to get you in shape, he wanted to motivate your mind. If you put in a genuine effort you will get a great mark, even if your not on any teams.
He is such an unfair teacher, aswell as marker!! People who are invloved in sports teams get the better mark and those who give much effort but are "AVERAGE" get lousy on their report card. Re evaluate your marking skills!!!
you guys are all just complaining cuz you are the kids who sit on the stage and talk about video games or pedicures while everyone else is doing gym...soussa is the man...grow some cahones
good teacher but should consider switching to tanach
dont teach philosphy when u agym teacher!has false notionsabout philosophy anywa
Gym is about having fun, not knowing how to throw a ball 30 meters from the net.
he's the only person i know who can give a relation between basketball and moses
i loved co-ed gym last year in gr7 i hate non co-ed gym
Besides the tanach lessons, a lot better than the girls gym teacher
why can't we just catch the ball in dodgeky. STOP MAKING UP RULES!!!
we have tanach and gym in two separate classes...or were supposed to right?!

Make a mixture of equal parts warm water and vinegar and add two teaspoons of dish soap and put it into a spray bottle. Saturate the residual glue and allow it to sit for 10 minutes. Use a scraper to scrape away the now softened glue.
Place a half pound of dry ice on a metal tray and set it on the glue. Let it sit for about a minute and then move it to the next area. Scrape the newly frozen area with a scraper and keep moving the tray and scraping until all of the glue is gone.
Spray the adhesive with WD-40 and allow it to soak for about five minutes. The glue should come up easily when scraped with a scraper.
Scrape away as much glue as possible with a scraper and sweep away the residual with a broom or vacuum it up. Use a sander with 40-grit paper to remove the rest of it.
Use a heat gun or a hair dryer on the hot setting to heat the glue to where it is pliable enough to scrape away with a scraper.

News TV | Written by Paul Mount 23/12/2012
TV News: THE WALKING DEAD Renewed For Fourth Season
Considering its ongoing huge success in both the United States, were it posts enormous viewing figures for AMC, and the UK, where it scores well on the FX Channel, it's hardly surprising news but we're pleased to be able to confirm that zombie drama The Walking Dead is now officially renewed for a fourth season for broadcast late in 2013.
Perhaps more surprising is the news that showrunner Glen Mazzara, who has helmed the series since original executive producer Frank Darabont was "let go" at the end of season one, is now also bowing out. Whilst Mazzara's own official statement is typically non-committal - "I have told the stories I wanted to tell… it doesn't get much better than that" AMC's own statement ominously hints at yet more behind-the-scenes unrest on the show. Says the Network: "Both parties acknowledge that there is a difference of opinion about where the show should go moving forward, and conclude that it is best to part ways." Mazzara helped The Walking Dead weather the storm of criticism about the sluggish pace of the (ultimately rewarding) second season and through the much edgier, brutal current third season so we're intrigued to find out who'll be drafted in to replace him and, hopefully, keep the show's stellar current momentum going into a fourth year.
Season three of The Walking Dead resumes in February 2013 in the USA and the UK.

The state Attorney General's office case against former Harrisburg Mayor Stephen Reed, 67, is now slated to start trial in January. (Diana Robinson/WITF)
(Harrisburg) -- Former Harrisburg Mayor Stephen Reed's trial is now slated for the end of January.
Proceedings were scheduled to start on Halloween, but Judge Kevin Hess granted Reed's attorneys more time earlier this month.
The new trial dates are Jan. 23-27, according to state Attorney General's office spokesman Jeff Johnson.
Reed, 67, faces 114 theft and other charges linked to his alleged taking of artifacts bought with public money for city museums that never opened.
The seven-term mayor originally had nearly 500 charges against him, but the vast majority have been tossed out by Hess or dropped by the state since Reed's arrest in July 2015.
Reed's attorneys got more than 300 counts dismissed after successfully arguing the statute of limitations, even with the extension for public officials in Pennsylvania, had expired before his arrest.
Now, they want bar the state from bringing up certain information during the trial including details surrounding how Harrisburg paid for artifacts, past city bond issues and attempted museum projects.
Twenty-five of the remaining charges are felonies, of which 21 are for Reed's alleged theft of firearms. The guns at focus are antiques, though, and they're supposed to be excluded from felony-grade charges, according to state statute and caselaw cited by Reed's lawyer Henry Hockeimer in a pretrial statement filed last week.
In a 64-page court document filed Friday, the state cites a statutory definition of firearms that seems to include antiques. Investigators only brought felony charges for potentially functional firearms, according to Johnson.
Editor's note: This post has been updated to include details from a court filing.

Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. James 5:10

Vernon, BC V1T 2C8
The cosmetic dental treatment known as 'whitening', or bleaching, is used to whiten the tooth enamel. Pigmentation, tea, age, coffee, tobacco, red wine or medications such as tetracycline are just some of the causes of discolored or stained teeth. The bleaching process uses a peroxide gel added to a mouth guard-like tray to ensure direct contact with the tooth surface.
What are my teeth whitening options?
Tooth whitening is typically done at-home using a whitening kit. This is the most cost-effective means of professionally whitening your smile. Depending on the desired results, at-home whitening can take 10-15 treatments. An at-home whitening kit uses a carbamide peroxide solution and a custom made mouth guard so the solution stays in contact with the enamel of your teeth. Once the desired results have been achieved, you may want to do a 'touch-up' once or twice a year to maintain your beautiful smile! We recommend a follow up appointment (included in the bleaching kit cost) after your course of bleaching to ensure our expected results have been achieved and that you are happy with your new smile!

|The HoJo at Oakmont looked just like this
Lately, I haven't been posting much for reasons that really don't matter but have resulted in my going through some of the essays and other writing that I've had laying around for a long time. Over the years, I've accumulated a trove of mediocrity that I once thought was pretty good. At some point, everyone even semi-serious about writing imagines their masterpieces being featured in the New Yorker or some other lofty publication and I was no different. But most of my stuff was written with no idea where it could possibly find the light of day. I paid no attention to any of the advice every aspiring writer gets on researching markets and how to appeal to editors or anything else that might have at least gotten me some encouraging rejection slips. So now I've decided that if none of this stuff is ever going to make me a member of the next Algonquin Round Table, I'm foisting it off from time to time on whoever runs across this blog accidentally in the course of surfing for pornography.
The first of these I've rewritten so many times I can't stand it anymore. It was intended originally for some now defunct online magazine in Pittsburgh and I think I was encouraged by most of the previously published pieces being worse. I'm not sure Thurber would have gotten very far, either, if his mantra had been, "Shit, I'm not that bad."
A few years ago I drove past the Oakmont rest area of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. It had been completely rebuilt and, except for the structural footprint, nothing remained of the Howard Johnson's that once stood there. This was where got my first real job the summer of 1969 and since teenaged people like me had always staffed the place, it's a wonder the whole works hadn't become a smoking hole a long time ago. It was the opening act of my wage-earning life, where I learned most of what needed to know to survive the next four decades.
Until around 1980, every rest stop on the turnpike included a restaurant owned and operated by Howard Johnson's and despite, or possibly because of the monopoly, the food, at least by today's turnpike standards, was positively gourmet. In fact, there were people who sprung for the tolls just to get fried clams. Travelers had the choice of eating at a counter on one of those spinable round stools or in an actual sit down restaurant. There was a soda fountain that served milkshakes the way nature intended – with real ice cream and syrup that probably included chocolate. Plus, you were waited on by kids required by company policy to give a shit.
I started out as a busboy for the minimum wage of $1.30. Anyone who says they were ever happy to make this kind of money was either desperate or full of shit. Then, as now, they less you made the harder you worked and when not loafing I worked my ass off. We all wore dorky, heavily starched uniforms of gray hound's-tooth check trousers and a white shirt like the ones doctors and dentists used to wear. This getup was topped off by a paper hat and was a good lesson in one of things you have endure for a paycheck.
Busboys were responsible for policing the counter area, washing dishes, cleaning the restrooms and parking lot and doing anything else Mel, the manager, could think of if he saw you standing around. The dining room was the exclusive domain of the waitresses who cleared their own tables, probably to keep the busboys out of their hair.
Dirty counter dishes and trash were thrown into heavy plastic containers the size of a large kitchen sink that when full weighed a ton. The first time I wrestled with one of these things I though of all my mother's warnings about getting a rupture. Teachers used to tell us the same thing but requests for clarification tended to be a little vague. So around the age of 6, along with all the other irrational phobias, I added the fear of exploding testicles and it could have been why I never let those bins get too full.
A large portion of each workday consisted of trying to steal the place blind – a bit ironic considering my future career would be law enforcement. A weakness of ice cream led me to keep spoon in my shirt pocket for trips to the walk-in freezer. If I didn't have one, I'd just stick a bare hand into whatever five-gallon carton of the 28 flavors struck my fancy and cram my mouth full. You couldn't stay in there very long without freezing or arousing suspicion, so it was really important not to talk to anyone for a while after you came out.
My favorite contraband, however, was ice cream cake roll but it presented more of a challenge. Although pre-sliced and pilfer-ready, these special treats were kept out in the open inside a smaller freezer in the kitchen. It was easy enough to sneak a slice when nobody was looking; the hard part was covering it in the chocolate syrup that no ice-cream cake roll should be eaten without. The syrup dispenser being at the fountain made it a bit tricky but I had to have it. For lack of a better idea, I waltzed out to the fountain like I owned it, loaded up and retreated to the employee restroom and locked the door. This worked so well that after a couple of slices I got bold enough to add whipped cream and a cherry. Fortunately, I never got into drugs.
For years I was kept from atheism by feeling I'd survived beyond the age of 18 only by divine intervention. An illustration also provides, to this day, the finest example I've ever seen of thinking on ones feet and deflecting blame.
One of our chores involved the then legal burning of paper trash in a large incinerator placed a safe distance behind the building. Guys love a good explosion and we discovered that real satisfaction could be had from blowing up a few empty whipped cream containers in the fire. Like any addiction, you build a tolerance so we began to stockpile empty canisters in increasing numbers. Jeff McCoy and I finally loaded the fire with so many that when the majority went off at once (sending a truly impressive shower of sparks out the chimney), a large chunk of the incinerator's cast iron door blew off and whizzed past our mostly empty heads. A few remaining cans cooked off in festive secondary explosions that blew flaming bits of paper through what was left of the door as Mel ran out to see what the hell was going on. Before he could say a word, Jeff deftly and instinctively started denouncing them fuckin' waitresses who we told a million times not to throw those fuckin' things in the fuckin' trash but did they fuckin' listen - fuck no. He pointed to the still smoking hunk of door and added, truthfully, that it was a miracle we hadn't been fuckin' decapitated.
Speaking of waitresses, HoJo's was a big part of the reason why I never had any trouble working on an equal footing with women. Once upon a time, boys were taught never to swear or otherwise be disgusting around girls because they were more delicate and refined, or something like that. From the start, every woman in the place occupied a higher rung than I did and the idea of feminine equality took hold on my first day. Right off I had noticed this cute dark haired girl who, in addition to looking and smelling fabulous, conducted herself like a debutante in a waitress outfit. After being issued my geek costume, as I was being instructed in the finer points of industrial dishwashing, this enchantress burst through the nearby dining room door. She stood beside me, regarding a coin in her outstretched palm like it was a fresh dog turd. In a softly modulated voice of angelic timbre and flawless enunciation she announced, "That mother-fucker left me a nickel! A fucking nickel, that prick!" From then on I believed women could excel at men's activities without sacrificing their femininity.
It's not always clear why men decide to mess with somebody. Mainly, it's just a guy thing and some people, like me, who once believed what they were taught in Sunday school, were too trusting and easily susceptible to what's generally referred to as ball breaking. So who knows what he was thinking when Dave, the veteran soda jerk, zeroed in on me. It was just one of those ideas that rolls around the thick, teen-aged skull.
In a room behind the kitchen stood a huge stainless steel crushed ice machine. Next to it was a small concrete wall about 3 inches high and 4 feet square where we filled buckets. In the center of this square two copper pipes, about 2 inches apart, came out of the floor and ran over to faucets mounted on the wall. Dave, pretending he had gotten his foot stuck between the pipes, asked the first gullible boob (me) to help get him out. I suggested he just take his foot out of his shoe but he insisted the pipes be pried apart so I reached down and tried to separate them. After a couple of futile attempts, I finally grabbed one pipe with both hands and pulled on it with increasing force. Suddenly this pipe separated from the floor, immediately sending a geyser of, fortunately, cold water bouncing off the 10-foot ceiling. I frantically tried to stick the whole thing back into the floor but this only blew my paper hat away. Dave began laughing hysterically as the water beat the hell out of my face and blasted up my nose. Finally realizing it was hopeless, I surrendered and joined Dave and the now gathered staff in gaping at the blowout.
As the flood spread into the kitchen, somebody suggested that "uh, maybe we ought to get Mel," who had been out at the counter, quietly eating lunch. When the former navy man walked in and saw the decks awash he sprang into action. Grabbing a stockpot from the kitchen, he inverted it and, like a Medal of Honor winner on a grenade, threw himself on the gusher and tried to cap it. The flow, however, continued unabated and now threatened to swamp the whole building. A frenzied search for the shut-off valve ensued and in the process, I fell headlong down the basement steps. Back at the wellhead, another busboy had been ordered to sit on the stockpot and I now added to Mel's woes by telling him my arm might be broken.
Returning from the hospital hours later, I learned the full extent of the disaster. The pipe had broken flush with the floor and the only way to stop the flood had been to shut off the water for the entire rest area, including the adjacent Gulf station. Fed up with the growing number of irate travelers, the State Police had barricaded the off ramp to prevent unsuspecting motorists from entering the now useless facility. Families in VistaCruisers and Country Squires, who had been holding it all the way from Terre Haute because Dad was making good time, had to just keep going.
Nobody ever mentioned how much all this ended up costing Howard Johnson and Gulf Oil but sometime after the figures came in I was banished from the food service industry forever.
If you're still with me, I usually add an appropriate music video but couldn't think of one so here's Jack Teagarden playing his trombone with a water glass over the slide.

Stacy discusses how The Tick-Borne Disease Alliance has launched Bite Back for a Cure, a new national grassroots campaign to build support in the fight against tick-borne diseases. The CDC recently reported that Lyme disease affects 300,000 victims each year, a rate 10 times higher than previously reported. Tick-borne diseases pose a national health crisis. TBDA is dedicated to raising awareness about these diseases and the very easy ways we can all protect ourselves.

Changing clinical pathways to incorporate the full spectrum of the patient experience requires a significant shift in how pathways are thought about, how they are developed, and what stakeholders provide during development.
Factors Influencing the Implementation of Value-Based Contracting Between Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Payers
Insights from payers and health systems shed light on drivers of the interest in value-based contracting, important barriers to implementation, and implications for manufacturers seeking to engage in successful value-based agreements.
The principles and structures of Kaiser Permanente and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence may represent future models of care.
Making the transition from fee-for-service reimbursement to value-based models of care and payments will be slow and difficult.
Health systems increasingly have an inpatient, health plan, and now outpatient formulary, each with their own rules, priorities, and application. These differences and complexities are important to consider to optimize clinical pathway outcomes.
As initial gene and cellular therapies come to market, debate is growing as to the best ways to evaluate the associated economic impact, specifically in the context of the shift to value-based reimbursements.
It is an exciting time in oncology care as innovative cellular and gene therapies come to market, with many more to come in the near future.
While clinical pathways have been narrowly focused historically, steps can and should be taken by providers and stakeholders to ensure that patients and their individual preferences are adequately represented in pathway development.
With the arrival of clinically validated software technologies designed to treat disease, or "digital medicines," comes a plethora of uncertainties related to how stakeholders will value these products relative to traditional medicines and how they will fit into today's health care system.
More comprehensive clinical pathways may be one way to address the aging health care workforce and high burnout rate due to increasing administrative responsibilities, decreasing compensation, and more demands from patients and payers.

Report from FCNL
Joe Volk recently had the privilege of joining an AFSC delegation to China, his only previous trip in 1984, and a lot had changed. Officials were easier to understand, their readings dovetailing more, plus China's charm offensive was bearing fruit, the new landscape more a collaborative enterprise, between internal and external engineers, architects etc.
Joe's story is compelling in that he started testing his belief system while still an enlisted soldier in 1968, open to the Just War doctrine, yet resolving to uphold the Nuremberg Charter and disobey orders to go to Vietnam, should push come to shove, which it did.
He liked the matter of fact way the AFSC office handled his case, offering to periodically phone the stockade where he was imprisoned, just asking about his welfare, and he resolved to later study the Quaker peace testimony, which he understood informed these actions. Today he heads one of the oldest, most respected lobbies on Capitol Hill (FCNL), which has a brand new "green building" -- a hot commodity in DC these days, with lots of MVPs asking for tours.
Back to China, Joe's previous trip had been in the company of Lewis Hoskins, a stalwart of the Quaker Men's Group I've attended for years, and ambulance driver for Friends in China during the WWII era. On this trip, the delegation's Chinese hosts expressed gratitude and appreciation for this service, which was delivered without regard for political affiliation or ideological predilection.
My only trip to China to date was way back in the 1970s, in the company of Glenn Baker and his parents. I recently uploaded some pictures from that trip, taken by Glenn, to my "good old days" folder on Flickr.
On another topic, I notice Kiselev's Geometry / Book II, Stereometry is now available in a language I know. I just ordered my copy from Sumizdat with a discount for having purchased Book I.

"The Mizzerables first release was an EP consisting of 2 original songs and 3 covers. The EP was spread around but did not gain much attention. That will all change after the bands debut album "Every Last Stitch" is released. The album is set to be released on Whoa! Records July 23rd. The band was kind enough to send us the album and its been a joy listening to it. The album has a classic Chicago tone throughout. I'm not sure how to describe that in text but I'll try. Chicago punk to me a very distinctive tone found in bands such as The Lawrence Arms, Downtown Struts, and Naked Raygun. It's not poppy but it is catchy its music that begs you to listen over and over again and your more than happy to do so. "Every Last Stitch" discusses topics of youth, love, and dedication. The album comes in at around 27 minutes but doesn't drag at all. With this album The Mizzerables put out a welcome mat and encourage you to come in and enjoy their music." —Michael Obrecki, Chicago Punk Rock Radio (Jul 03, 2013)

A proposed test of a paid parking system on Nantucket during the summer of 2011 was nixed Wednesday night by the Board of Selectmen, who took no action on the proposal and a series of other options to relieve downtown traffic congestion.
The proposals were developed and submitted by a consultant, Nelson/Nygaard, hired by ReMain Nantucket, Wendy Schmidt�s philanthropic organization. The options grew out of a series of public forums on paid parking earlier this year, and previous parking studies and initiatives.
The pilot program, which featured in-vehicle electronic meters distributed to 100 individuals from various island groups, would have tested an escalating payment scale based on the length of time a person parked downtown.
The other options considered Wednesday night ranged from offering financial incentives for parking at a remote lot and utilizing license plate recognition units for enforcement, to implementing a valet parking program for the downtown area. Click here to view the full proposal.
While the selectmen indicated some interest in testing the valet parking proposal and license plate recognition technology, there was no consensus to move forward with any of the proposals for the coming summer season.
�It�s really hard for me to get around the rationale for doing this at all,� selectman Michael Kopko said. �It won�t solve any problems that we may or may not have. This, to me, this pilot program is a way to rent a downtown parking space to someone for far less than what they would pay in parking tickets.�
Others in the audience offered their own criticisms of the pilot program.
�We seem to be looking for very complex solutions to what may be a simpler problem than what has been described to us,� said Charity Benz, who supported Phil Gallagher�s idea to use NRTA shuttles at night to transport people in and out of town from a satellite lot.
�We�re circumventing the democratic process,� said Grant Sanders. �No one elected Wendy Schmidt or ReMain Nantucket to solve our parking issues. It would be simple to get 100 people to put meters in their car and like it. The hard part would be putting meters in cars of people who don�t want them. No one has done the homework to figure out whether we want paid parking or not.�
Several ideas mentioned by those in the audience, including police chief Bill Pittman�s proposal to continue parking enforcement past 6 p.m. to encourage turnover, also garnered some interest from the board. Selectman Bob DeCosta and Kopko both said they would like to see further exploration of the valet parking proposal.
Others urged the board to give the pilot program a chance, or take some proactive move to address the issue. Former Finance Committee member Bruce Miller commented on the various parking solutions he had witnessed in his travels around the U.S. and in Europe, from meters to parking garages.
�What strikes me when I arrive in a place, drive into town and realize that parking can be accessible, enhance the quality of my experience, and it doesn�t have to be a nightmare,� Miller said. �My conclusion upon arriving home and subjecting myself to the torture of parking downtown is we�re missing the boat. We don�t even realize there�s a boat anymore. The question isn�t do you want paid parking? It�s do you want quality of life?�
In other news from Wednesday night�s meeting, the selectmen:
� Approved a two-year, $70,000 service contract between the DPW and Hi-Way Safety Systems for roadway and crosswalk painting and marking. Funding will come from the DPW�s budget.
� Approved an $8,222.40 contract between the police department and Young�s Bicycle Shop for 10 bicycles for the community service officer�s bike patrol. Funding will come from the police department�s budget.
� Approved four-year renewal of the mooring rental license agreement with Nantucket Moorings for 125 rental moorings in Nantucket Harbor. The license fee in the first year will be $65,625, which will escalate to $70,625 by the final year of the agreement in 2015. Revenue from the license fee goes to the town�s waterways improvement fund.
� Approved a conservation restriction to be held by the Nantucket Land Bank for a portion of 70 Miacomet Road. Roughly 80,000 square feet on two lots will be granted by Andrew Ferreira to the Land Bank, as part of a deal in which the Land Bank is purchasing 25 acres of Ferreira�s property along Miacomet Pond. Ferreira is retaining two two-acre lots, and with the conservation restrictions covering one acre on each parcel.
� Reviewed a proposed� preservation restriction granted by the Nantucket Historical Association to be held by the Nantucket Preservation Trust for the �Greater Light� property at 8 Howard Street. According to the preservation restriction documents, the Greater Light was constructed in 1790 as a barn and converted into a summer house and studio between 1929-1933. It is considered a significant example of 18th century- timber-frame architecture. The preservation restriction would prohibit the building from being demolished, and forbid additional buildings or structures on the property, or any subdivision of the property. It also prohibits alterations to the exterior massing, foundation, timber-frame, roof profiles, chimneys, stone walls, wooden fences and stone and brick paths.

������������� - Zoning Board of Appeals alternate, one seat: John Wagley.
� Considered a new policy for ticket sales on public probation to ensure a consistent and appropriate location for such activity. Organizations selling tickets or distributing information from a public sidewalk would be restricted to a single table, and be limited to at least 21 days per year. They must also be a non-profit organization and be able to provide proof of its 501(c)(3) status. Food, drink or any other non-ticket items may not be sold from the table. If the table is used to sell raffle tickets, the organization must first obtain a permit from the Town Clerk�s office. The organization must also submit an application to the town administration office to set up a table for ticket sales, and seek the permission of the business owner of the establishment in front of which the table is set up. Applications would be subject to review by the town manager.
