RiverWatch February 2018
Rattlesnakes are native to San Diego and the River Park is no exception. Whether you walk our trails or encounter a rattlesnake around your own home, please keep these helpful tips in mind.
Anyone familiar with San Diego knows that we are famous for having a very stable climate, year-round. This year in particular, we have had a warmer than usual winter. This has led to reptiles, including rattlesnakes, to be out of hibernation and active throughout the county much earlier than expected.
Rattlesnakes have some very distinctive physical characteristics, but for the purpose of erring on the side of caution, we recommend you assume any snake bite is venomous and be proactive in getting professional help and treatment.
As a preventative measure, a good rule is that if you cannot see where you are placing your hands or feet, you should not be there. Avoid tall grass, weeds and underbrush. Do not reach into rock crevices and do not shuffle through dense leave piles as these are potential places snakes could be hiding. While at the River Park, stay on the trail!
Do not rely on hearing a rattle to alert you a rattlesnake is nearby. Contrary to popular belief, rattlesnakes do not always rattle before striking, and even if they do, an inexperienced ear often cannot identify it. Constantly scan your surroundings and be aware. Should you ever come across a rattlesnake, slowly back away. Any quick movements could be misconstrued as threatening. A snake's nature is to want to get away. If you give them space and the opportunity to flee, they will not pursue you. A strike is likely the result of the snake feeling threatened or harmed.
Should you ever be bitten, your first step is to stay as calm as possible and call 9-1-1, immediately. Keeping calm helps to keep your heart rate from climbing which can help to slow circulation of the venom. 9-1-1 will coordinate emergency transportation and resources, including having antivenin ready at the hospital. While waiting for help to arrive, keep the bite area below the heart. This allows gravity to aide in slowing the venom's circulation. Additionally, because swelling will happen quickly, remove anything that could be potentially constricting from the limb or bite area such as watches, rings, bracelets, socks and shoes. Do not apply a tourniquet, ice or attempt to suck the poison out. If possible, capture a photo of the snake to help with identification.
As for your pets, some dogs are naturally curious and are at risk of being harmed by a rattlesnake. We highly recommend you put your dog(s) through Rattlesnake Avoidance Training with a reputable trainer. For your convenience, the River Park has booked a private training opportunity onsite at the River Park on July 21st. The training sessions are by appointment only and the cost is $77, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the River Park. If you would like to schedule your dog to train with us, register here and an invoice will be emailed to you for payment.
Register your DOG for Rattlesnake Avoidance Training
GOPHER SNAKE - FRIEND, NONVENOMOUS, eats pests and vermin, harmless to people and larger pets.

This item doesn't have any media yet
2015 | Biography
With their silly puns, down-to-earth style and obvious affection for each other, Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins were a defining part of 1990s popular culture. For two years their hit show, Light Lunch, was staple viewing for housewives and students up and down the country, and with lucrative advertising deals and endless panel show invitations it seemed like the duo were destined for superstardom. Comedy queens French and Saunders were even ready to hand over their crowns to the young stars, who they saw as their natural successors. But just a few short years later, Mel and Sue had gone their separate ways, leaving their loyal fans in mourning over the loss of the light-hearted double act. While Sue's career progressed steadily over the years, Mel's stalled, and with two young kids and a large mortgage she and her husband were left on the verge of bankruptcy. And although Sue was so popular she was hardly off our screens, her personal life wasn't always so uncomplicated. It would take ten years of hard work and setbacks before the revival of their old partnership would shoot them once more to the top - and cement their place in the nation's heart.
In this, the unauthorised first biography of the cake-loving stars, award-winning journalist and author Tina Campanella gives you a candid insight into Mel and Sue's bumpy journey from funny best friends to much-loved presenters of the BAFTA-nominated, surprise hit show, The Great British Bake Off. It's a recipe for a great read.

There is a plethora of things to do in Moab, as we've discussed in previous articles. There are mountain biking opportunities, hiking trails and more dirt roads than one could possibly explore in a lifetime. The Moab area is also a popular place for photographers to go hog wild with endless vistas and geological features to keep your creativity flowing for days on end. This year we decided that we would have a little fun and have a little friendly competition to make things a little more interesting. We picked a theme for each day that we were there and the only rules were that the photos had to be unedited outside of the camera settings. I'm putting the best out for you to see here in this article. These photos are still unedited and just an example of some of the things we saw during our trip and are examples of how people see the world through their lense.

This is an example of thinking outside the box in my opinion. The day this photo was taken was Action. With all of the Jeep's out on the trails it would be easy to just take a snap shot of a random rock crawler but for my daughter, that wasn't going to cut it. Instead she used Dad's hand and a fidget spinner to mix things up.

Dogs are a popular site during the Jeep Safari and why wouldn't they be? They love the outdoors and they're man's best friend. You can't leave your best bro at home, can you? This pup was on his first safari and seemed pretty chill for such a new endeavor. Theme of the Day: Anything goes.
|Photo Courtesy of Misty Rowley
We had some long days during our safari week. In fact, I think we only got back to the rental house twice before dark during the time we were in town. This gave us opportunities to get some colorful skies as the sun went down. Misty took this photo with an iPhone and in a moving vehicle. Not bad. Theme of the Day: Landscape.
|Photo Courtesy of Brandan Rowley
There are two things about this photo that are amusing to me. First, this arch is only about 4 feet long and stands only about 5 feet tall but the angle that I took the photo at makes it look massive. Just goes to show what perspective and composition can do to manipulate reality. The second thing that's funny about it is that I didn't have my Canon with me, only my iPhone and I had forgotten to take my landscape shot for the day. It was the only photo I took all day. I really like how it turned out edited too (not shown.)
|Most Popular Photo Courtesy of Faith Rowley
The hands down favorite photo of the week was that of a base jumper that happened to leap off of Determination Towers while we were eating lunch. I had some pretty good photos of him but this one taken by my daughter was taken a split second before I began to snap away. Faith was able to catch him just before he tossed his shoot giving this image a bit of intensity as you wonder what is about to happen. He made it to the ground fine, by the way. Well done, Faith. I guess I've learned to never underestimate the competition.
There are plenty of images I could have pulled to showcase in this article but these were some of my favorite ones. This exercise was a way for me to spread my love for photography to my friends and family. It was me wanting to help everyone express themselves and have fun with photography rather than just taking the typical tourist photos. I wanted to add a little focus and purpose to each image and I think we accomplished this. We weren't out to critique each other, only to encourage one another and have a good time. I hope everyone else felt the same at the end of the day and I hope that we can continue this in our travels together. I love to off road, have adventures and photograph every turn along the way. Thanks to those that do the same. See you next time.

Federico Ciccarese proposes for his latest design: some sort of bracelet phone acting as the iPhone 5 of the moment.How do you feel when there's something resembling a bug or a spider attached to your hand and functioning like a phone? While it may sound creepy at first, this is what
Since we have no specifications, allow me to speculate: for starters the metal legs that wrap around your hand shouldn't heat easily and they should be light, maybe some sort of aluminium. Also, the screen would be flexible and very resilient, probably with a 3 inch diagonal or close to that and HD resolution. Inside there should be a dual core CPU, the A5X, enough for processing data on such a small device. There's also a Facetime camera on board and a version of iOS 6.0 for smaller screens.
There's also a phone feature as shown here and the brand new Apple Maps. The maps area has a 3D option and it looks very appealing on this iPhone 5 bracelet concept. From what I've seen so far online, this project has many haters. Open your minds people! Simply imagine if this were real how different the approach to normal phones would be. A couple of years ago the Google Glasses could have seemed silly, now everyone is going crazy about them. Why shouldn't the Apple Bracelet make it big?

Nolasco strikes out 16 as Marlins edge Braves
The Associated Press
ATLANTA - Ricky Nolasco struck out nine straight Atlanta Braves and finished with 16 strikeouts - the most by a major league pitcher in more than two years - and the Florida Marlins held on for a 5-4 victory Wednesday night.
Trying to make a late push for the NL wild card, the Braves rallied for two runs in the ninth inning and loaded the bases with two outs. But the game ended when Matt Diaz was thrown out trying to scamper back to third following a pitch in the dirt.
Atlanta, which began the night three games behind Colorado for the wild card, has lost two straight with four games remaining.

Insecurity In Delta: Remains of Missing Policemen Recovered
THE Delta State Police Command, on Monday disclosed that the remains of four policemen declared missing following an attack on the Police Marine Base, Sapele have been recovered.
The attack has further heightened tension in Sapele and environs as security sources disclosed that the base was attacked by a gang of suspected militants operating in the area who also made way with an undisclosed number of arms and ammunition.
The source hinted that the remains of the operatives were discovered in the river between Abigborodo and Arouwun communities in Warri North and Sapele local government areas respectively.
Speaking on the incident, the State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Andrew Aniamaka said: "The police has recovered the remains of four police officers who were earlier declared missing following the attack.
"Investigation into the incident is on. We had to go in search of the bodies because at first, they were declared missing and it was later that we found their remains."
On the identity of the assailants, the police image maker said: "Am not in the position to say if they are pirates or not.
"We are still searching for the arms they (policemen) bore at the time of death that is why I said investigation into the matter is ongoing."

Making his Mark: Memphis filmmaker Jones screens new work in Indie Memphis fundraiser
In 2006, local filmmaker Mark Jones used a bloody butcher knife to carve a name for himself with his first low-budget feature, "Fraternity Massacre at Hell Island," which — no surprise here — remains Memphis' only gay teen indie political slasher spoof.
A dozen years later, Jones still is making movies in Memphis. The humor and messaging are much the same, but the sharpest barbs come in the form of witticisms rather than literal weapons.
"I like telling stories," said Jones, 50, perhaps best known for "Tennessee Queer," a 2012 comedy that imagines a conservative small town's first Gay Pride parade. "And I don't think anyone else is going to tell these same stories."
Having turned from features to shorts in recent years ("I did it backwards," the director admits), Jones next week will host an anthology of recent work titled — with undeniable logic — "Hometowner Showcase: Mark Jones."
"Showcase" screenings are set for 7 and 8:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Malco Studio on the Square at Overton Square. Admission is $10, with all proceeds going to the three-year-old Indie Memphis Youth Film Program, an ambitious attempt to engage budding teen filmmakers from throughout the Mid-South via workshops, mentorships, production grants and the signature Youth Film Fest, set for Sept. 8 at the Orpheum's Halloran Centre. (In its first two years, the Youth Film Fest screened work from more than 30 area schools, created by students in grades 7-12.)
Ryan Watt, executive director of Indie Memphis, said the organization created the Youth Film Program to "support the future storytellers of Memphis" via programming "with no financial barriers that is completely accessible to students anywhere in our area." In other words, all Youth Film Program events are free.
The next of these events is a workshop titled "The Director's Journey," set for 1-4 p.m. April 28 at Circuit Playhouse, 51 Cooper. According to its website, the workshop, to be led by veteran local filmmaker Morgan Jon Fox, promises "an overview of a realistic, practical path towards becoming a director," and is aimed at "those who are interested in being a hands-on writer/director." The website tells teens that the event's focus will be on "small, original stories that can be shot with little to no budget, and serve as the building blocks towards finding your intuitive voice as a director." (Students in grades 7-12 interested in signing up should visit indiememphis.com and click on the "Youth" link.)
"Hometowner Showcase: Mark Jones" will last about an hour; the time frame includes about 35 minutes worth of short films, plus a question-and-answer session about Jones' work and a discussion of Indie Memphis' youth initiatives.
The films that will be screened are four shorts written and directed by Jones, dating back to 2016. The lineup includes "Death$ in a $mall Town"; "Winding Brook" and "Henry," which debuted at the 2017 Indie Memphis Film Festival; and a new film, "Best Wedding Gift," in its public premiere.
Starring Savannah Bearden and Jacob Wingfield as a bride and a best man who have a major set-to just moments before a wedding ceremony, the film — shot last year at Memphis Heritage headquarters, Howard Hall — is what Jones calls "a dark comedy."
"The idea of writing something very small, with one, two or three people on one set, so you can come in and shoot it all in one day, it's a challenge, but it's very appealing," said Jones, explaining his recent attraction to short films. "To be able to tell a really good story in a short time, it's a good exercise for a filmmaker."
In addition to making films (another of Jones' past works was the campy soap opera spoof, "On the Edge of Happiness," which Jones jokingly calls "Gays of Our Lives"), Jones is an active behind-the-scenes supporter of the arts scene. He provided the funding that launched the Indie Memphis "IndieGrants" program for local filmmakers, and he has long been an organizer of the annual Outflix Film Festival, devoted to cinema with LGBTQ content.
Jones said his Tuesday "Showcase" should be particularly revealing for those interested in learning about Memphis film. "This is a chance for people who would like to know more about the film community, to see four films that were all made in Memphis, with a Memphis crew and Memphis actors. We have such a talented crew here, it's incredible, so here's a chance to see what some local people can do."

Everyone gets a fever from time to time, and kids are no exception. The team at Montgomery Pediatrics in Cincinnati, Ohio, understands the uneasiness parents feel when their children have a fever and the uncertainties about when to seek medical care. You're always welcome to call the office for guidance, and same-day appointments are available. Call and speak with the team at Montgomery Pediatrics for guidance today.
A fever is a critical component of your immune system, and a powerful tool your body uses to stay healthy. Most people normally have a body temperature around 98.6° Fahrenheit.
Your temperature might rise and fall a bit during the day but should remain relatively stable overall.
If your child's body detects a threat, like an infection or illness, the body turns up your internal temperature in an effort to fight off the invading illness or infection.
Although there are numerous factors that can cause your child to develop a fever, the majority of fevers are a simple reaction to illness.
Treating a fever is actually treating the discomfort that a fever brings. If your child develops a fever, try giving them the proper dose of ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
Encourage them to drink more fluids. A lukewarm sponge bath can also help, but avoid water that's too cold. Never use rubbing alcohol to wipe down their body.
If your child is younger than three months of age and has a fever higher than 100.4°F, call your pediatrician at Montgomery Pediatrics right away. You should also seek medical care if your child has a fever for more than a few days or suffers from frequent fevers. The team at Montgomery Pediatrics encourages parents to reach out anytime they have concerns about childhood fever or any other medical issues.
Parenthood is stressful enough, but the Montgomery Pediatrics doctors are here to provide the advice and care your child needs to thrive.
To schedule an exam, call to request an appointment today.

Reader's Diary #566- Katsuhiro Otomo: Akira Volume 1
Yes, it's an exciting time. And a strange time. See, while I love traveling and learning about different cultures, I'm kind of at a loss as to how Japan ended up topping our spring break travel plans. I've never been a huge fan of Japanese food, didn't quite get anime, and have somewhat of a phobia of insanely large cities. So why I'm ending up in Tokyo is a bit of a mystery. (I'm not shooting a whiskey commercial, I swear!)
But since making the decision a few months back, we've been trying to familiarize ourselves with Japanese culture as best we can in Canada's subarctic. I've come to realize that there's a huge variety of sushi, and have actually found quite a bit that I enjoy. I watched Ponyo, and okay, still don't get anime. But now I'm venturing down a new path for me: manga.
Not knowing where to start, I went for one of the biggies: Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira (Volume 1). Some have hailed it as one of the best graphic novels of all time. It's certainly one of the books that helped bring manga into the North American market.
What a relief! Not only did I really enjoy it, I'll be moving on to read the rest of the series, and new manga as well.
Set in a post-apocalyptic Neo-Tokyo (so when I visit today's Tokyo, I should actually be relieved), the story revolves around a young male biker gang that inadvertently gets caught up in a street war, a government cover-up, an illegal activist organization, and a whole lot of trouble. How? One night the gang explores a forbidden zone: the bombsite where World War Three essentially began. While there, one of the gang, Tetsuo, nearly runs into a pale childlike figure standing in the road. Tetsuo swerves, falls from his bike and is nearly killed. However, when he wakes up surrounded by strangers, he soon discovers he has new abilities...
The cyberpunk dystopia, the multi-layered mystery, the science fiction; I loved it. I was even surprised by how much I enjoyed the visuals. Growing up with crappy Astroboy cartoons (yeah, I said it), I thought Japan animation was overly and too simplistically stylized. However, the detail in Otomo's drawings was fantastic, especially in the decrepit and vandalized backdrops. Apparently when Marvel Comics bought the rights, they colourized it for publication in North America. However, since then Dark Horse comics has bought the rights and reverted it back to the original black and white, leaving only the first 16 pages colourized. I'm glad they left these pages in for the sake of comparison, and though painted by Otomo himself, I think black and white was the better choice. The graininess, essentially to the feel of Neo-Tokyo, seems to be lost with the colour and besides, the more graphic novels I read, the more I'm starting to think they should all be black and white-- I've yet to see one coloured well.
The only issue I have with Akira, and I'm hesitant to call it a problem, is the lack of a likable character. Kenada, while certainly the protagonist of the piece, is a rude punk at best, a dangerously violent teen at worst. But it's about the only character that could fit in this situation, so I'm not sure what choice Otomo had. Plus, there are five more volumes so there's definite room for growth.
Who knows, maybe when I'm done I'll watch the film version and grow to appreciate anime as well.

I'm really looking forward to hearing what you think of Japan! I've always kind of wanted to go, but also find that big cities, especially where I don't know the language, make me very nervous.
I haven't read Akira -- my manga tastes tend to run to the shojo (translated directly: "young girl" as in for young girls) and the sillier shojo at that.
And even if you didn't really like Ponyo, I still have to recommend Spirited Away by the same director. It won an Oscar, and it's beautiful. The subtitled version is best, and I get something new out of it each time I watch it. It's very much like a Japanese fairytale. But I admit, one just has to go with the flow occasionally because there are things that seem very odd. I think often it's because there's a cultural reference I'm missing entirely. Still love it, though, for its wonder and magic and beautiful art.

Bybee: Unfortunately no, not this around. It's a pretty jammed backed couple of weeks. But who knows what the future'll bring!
Kiirstin: A fellow traveller told me that the hardest adjustment for him upon visiting Japan was feeling illiterate. I must say, that intimidates me as well, but hey, as a teacher, maybe it'll be good to experience that feeling. As for the anime, I readily admit that I haven't seen a whole lot and it's most likely just that I haven't hit upon the right film for me.

The trip is a go? Excellent! I'm trying to figure out how I can reinvent myself and get adopted as a Mutford.
I have not actually read any manga, but I know several teenage girls who are huge fans.

Barbara: Yes, the trip is a go. Things were looking financially tight there for a while, but we figured, if we come back bankrupt, we'll have still had a trip to Japan. That'll make the following year of Kraft Dinner and water go down much easier. As for the adoption, if you're toilet trained, no reinvention necessary.

The trip sounds cool (minus the sushi :X !) and the book sounds interesting but I'll send my daughter your way for a more informed comment -- she's our resident Manga expert!

This is Wanda's daughter :)
(what are you talking about Mama? sushi kicks ass.)
Much like you growing up on Astro-boy, I had Pokemon forced down my throat (ugh), and developed a huge bias towards Japanamation. Generally I grew up avoiding anything that even reminded me of it with the fear that I'd be a loser by association. But I realized it was horribly hypocritical of me to pride myself on my willingness to try anything and not try this.
I too would suggest Spirited Away, or anything associated with Hayao Miyazaki, but of course, there kids movies and I love kids movies. Im a kid. If your that interested in anime, check out "Grave of the Fireflies", based on the semi-autobiographical novel of a man who survived the second world war (been trying to get the book, driving me crazy), "Paprika", a very imaginative piece of work, and if you have the time "Cowboy Bebop". Obviously I don't know much about your tastes in a plot, but if you liked a story about a biker gang in post-apocalyptic Tokyo, perhaps you'll like this. I like to think of it as a futuristic Mafia movie. Its a short, mostly character-driven series with a tone that changes from one part to another. The dialogue is A+, and they make very good use of angles, sound and transitions. If you do ever watch it, watch part five before making up your mind about it, and be very careful if you look it up. The ending to the series is common knowledge to basically anyone thats ever even heard of it, and a spoiler ruined the whole thing for me.
Also, I don't know about you, but I hate the dubs of everything, and I'm a strong believer in the idea that foreign things should stay foreign. Most of these are unbearable in english. I always read the subtitles, and I would strongly suggest you do that if you plan to actually enjoy any of this haha. Also with subtitles, you usually get explanations of certain parts of Japanese culture which are omitted from an english version, such as traditions behind food, references to Shinto religion, and there wide system of honorifics.
Anyways, good luck, and have fun in Japan, I'm Jealous :)

On the graphic novel front, I heard that Death Note was very good. I could never get a hold of it so I settled on watching the series. It caused a huge divide in its fanbase due to the differing morals of the two main characters, which is doubly interesting considering that the same divide appeared in the story itself. It also stirred up a lot of attention with its controversial themes and the resulting cases of copy cats that popped up around the world. Its plot is strange in that its arcs feel somehow disassociated, but still manage to carry you threw the whole thing. With the series I was un-impressed, but the complex story line and interesting characters made me feel that it had huge potential as, say, an 800 page novel, so perhaps the original manga was much better. but don't quote me, lol :)
Oh and if I remember correctly, the english version of Akira was printed as a mirror so as to read from left to right, where as most manga are read from right to left, like Japanese vertical script. I don't know which version you read, but just a heads up in case you start reading another one and wonder why there conversations are all backwards lol

Wanda: You've just to find the right sushi! I doubt they make California rolls in Japan, but it was the gateway sushi for us. Now we like a wide variety.
Wanda's Daughter: Thanks for your wonderful insight! My own kids are open to Japanese animation, for sure. My son, 4, loves Pokemon (definitely not forced on him though, because I don't understand it personally), and just this morning my daughter, 6, asked for the Ponyo DVD (which surprised me since I didn't realize she had enjoyed it that much). Thanks also for all the recommendations. Death Note in particular sounds very interesting. I'm going to try and hunt down a copy. Hey, you need to start a manga blog!

How exciting - what an amazing trip that will be. I would love to visit Japan, but like you I am not sure the huge cities would be so wonderful. What I found when I went to Kyiv was the same thing you mentioned - that the worst part was suddenly being illiterate.
But it was still a fantastic experience.
As for the manga stuff, well, first off, Wanda's daughter has it covered. Second, I don't know much about it - the only film I've seen is Spirited Away, oh, and Howl's Moving Castle. I enjoyed them both.

ps - Astroboy, hahaha

No prob :)
haha, im not THAT into it lol. You gotta sift threw loads of garbage to find good ones, but those good ones are worth it.
good luck finding a decent translation of deathnote, haha, and in your searches, watch out for insane fanatics, they can be quite frightening lol.
And hey, if you ever do watch Bebop, get back to me, id like to hear what you think :)

No matter how many times you've relocated to a new home, moving can still be a stressful process—filled with countless tasks ranging from simple to downright complicated. This is primarily the reason many homeowners seek the help of professional moving companies.
However, because there are too many options to choose from, it can be easy to get confused about which provider will best suit your needs. Since the competition is tight, moving companies do everything within their capacity to stay ahead of their rivals. While some are just over-advertised or mediocre, there are still some companies out there which can provide excellent relocation services. Finding these companies can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack, but there are some ways to weed out the good from the bad.
Because randomly choosing a moving company (or selecting the one with the lowest advertised rates) won't guarantee value or even a satisfactory experience, it's important to research and compare your options and select the most competent and reliable one. In this article, our experts at Arnoff Moving & Storage will help you learn how to properly assess and compare moving companies in order to have a pleasant moving experience and avoid potential issues.
Check and Compare What Previous Customers' Say About the Company
Use websites such as Yelp, MyMovingReviews, and Google for feedback from previous clients. Ratings and reviews will let you know if customers were generally satisfied with the way they work. Also, paying attention to how the company responds to negative feedback will also say a lot about the professionalism of the provider.
Check the Insurance and License of the Company
No matter how good the reputation of a company is, they must have a valid, current license in order to ensure quality and reliability for their customers. The same is true for the insurance offered by the company along with their services. Insurance will legally protect you from unwanted additional expenses and liabilities in the event of damage to property or injury, so opt for a company that is licensed and insured to operate.
Compare the Services That Are Offered By Each Company
Although it may seem like all moving companies offer the same set of services, there are actually additional services that are unique in some companies, and it helps to know about these. Extra services such as furniture repair and antique restoration are not offered by all companies, so if you have special needs such as these, be sure to select providers with the comprehensive services that best cater to your requirements.
Shop Around for Quotes
Because money matters, request for quotes from three to four moving companies and carefully analyze which one will provide the best value. Don't simply choose the cheapest option, but rather hire the company that will best cater to your needs at reasonable rates. Clarify the services included in the quote and if there are additional costs that may come up.
Evaluate Customer Service
Aside from comparing experience, credentials, affiliations, and legality of each moving company, you should also pay attention to finer details that will give you an idea of the level of professionalism of the company. See how responsive they are, how accommodating and polite, especially during the in-home consultation and estimation, how well they know the process, as well as how they answer your inquiries.
Top-Notch Moving Company in the Hudson Valley Region
If you are looking for the best moving company within the Hudson Valley area, Arnoff Moving & Storage is the company that you should hire. Since 1924, our family-owned and operated company has offered top-rated residential, commercial, and specialized moving and storage services for households, businesses, and more.

The glaciers are melting – and seas are rising – is climate change to blame?
It's over: the two week long COP 15 conference on global warming and climate change ended Friday night with a weak agreement to try to keep global warming temperature levels at or below 2 degrees Celsius, and to allocate a sum of $ 30 billion towards dealing with the effects of climate change by the year 2012.
The hastily hammered out deal also calls for a measure of transparency to be established between developed and developing nations towards dealing with the consequences of global warming and climate change.
While not perfect by any means, the agreement, signed by leaders of the U.S., Brazil, India, South Africa, and China, was perhaps better than nothing, and at least kept the conference from ending in failure; with nothing more than photo shots of the participants, along with video clips of the outside "street participants" in running battles with Danish police and with scores of them being arrested and detained until the conference's end.The deal, in which U.S. President Barack Obama said "all major economies have come together to accept their responsibilities to combat climate change" is at least a start, even though disappointed environmentalists had hoped for much stronger measures to reduce the carbon footprint effects of both the developed and developing nations on our planet's nvironment. And many protesting "street environmists" paid the price for their concern by becoming "guests" of the Copenhagen Police Department.
President Obama showed up on the last day of the conference like a knight in shining armor, and was shuttled from meeting to meeting in order to confer with as many delegates as possible, as well as have some private talks on other international matters with leaders of Russia, China (whose premier Wen Jiobao actually stood him up) and others before the President was finally able to attend a meeting with the other four major signers in order to finalize the agreement.
Ireland's Prime Minister, Brian Cowen, described the deal agreed so far by 28 world leaders at the Copenhagen climate change summit as "far less ambitious than what we wanted."
The agreement is not legally binding, however, as it has to be endorsed by all of the 193 countries who participated at the conference; many of them being developing nations, who feel that they are being blamed more for their impact on global warming due to their "slash and burn" agriculture, depletion of tropical rain forests, and use of coal and other highly polluting fossil fuels for power and manufacturing industries. Many developing country leaders lambasted the agreement, including Sudan's UN Ambassador Lumumba Stanislaus Di-Aping, who said the agreement was "just an idea."
Although Sudan is not exactly a good example of Middle Eastern countries sensitive to the effects of climate change, other countries in this region are also not too pleased with having the larger more developed countries dictate terms to them regarding their responsibility in combating global warming.
But it must be noted that although the entire Middle is responsible for less than 5 percent of the world's total emissions and pollution that contribute to global warming, the region does account for nearly 50% of world petroleum production that is considered a major cause of global warming. Israel and Egypt are reported to have the largest amount of carbon emissions, with those like Jordan and Lebanon having lesser amounts.
Despite the contribution of Middle Eastern countries towards the fossil fuels that are said by many to be causing much of our current global warming woes, a number of these countries are currently involved in solar energy and other renewable energy projects; including those in the Persian Gulf region, Egypt, and Israel.
While Israel has some of the most developed solar energy projects in the world, it also is responsible for the second highest level of carbon emissions, coming in after Egypt. Israel is also in danger of having its local solar energy projects curtailed significantly due to a recent announcement by the Israel Electric Corporation that it no longer has funds to subsidize the purchase of excess electricity sold back to the country's national electricity grid by solar powered electricity plants.
Whether similar situations could happen in other Middle East countries remains to be seen. But in any event, and for the present time anyway, the outcome of the two week conference in Copenhagen, will not result in many earthshaking changes in a part of the world that still supplies the world with nearly 50% of it's petroleum – with all its implications.

My oldest daughter, not quite 4 yet, can count really well. She loves counting and she loves numbers. I have noticed though she doesn't necessary know numbers in sequence unless she starts at "one". So I needed to come up with an activity that would help her with this.
As I was making eggs for breakfast, I was about to throw the egg carton into the recycling bin and it came to me I could recycle it in a different way… Use it for my numbers game!
I cut up the individual egg compartments, wrote a number on each one from 0-9 and since it was an 18 count carton I made duplicates of 1-7.
We used these numbers in more ways the I realized we would:
-I mixed them all up and had her put them in order.
-I would take 2 numbers, eg 7 and 9 and have her find the number to fill in the "blank".
– Ask her which pieces she needed to make numbers in the teens or twenties.
-Stack them in random order and have her say the number as we took them off the stack.
We could have kept going but she was getting a bit "numbered" out.
Later in the day the most precious thing happened. Ella, the one that was practicing her numbers, asked her little sister, who is almost 2, if she wanted to play school. Ella would be the teacher, and she was going to teach Anna numbers. It didn't last too long, and eventually the egg cartons became blocks for making "wobbly" towers, but it was so sweet to watch.
It's great being able to use items that are found around the house that would have been thrown away and use them in creative and educational ways because we all know that kids get bored or break even the most expensive toys.

Continued Press Coverage of AGM
The Guardian
Allow married Catholic priests to halt decline in Ireland, says clergyman
Harriet Sherwood Religion correspondent
Saturday 31 December 2016
The Catholic church should accept married men for ordination in an effort to prevent the extinction of priests in Ireland, a prominent clergyman has urged, amid warnings about rising rates of depression, isolation and suicide among the ageing priesthood.
Father Brendan Hoban, a co-founder of the Association of Catholic Priests (ACP), said urgent action was needed to counter the "vocations crisis". As well as ordaining married men, those who had left the priesthood – sometimes to get married – should be invited back, and women should be ordained as deacons, he told the Guardian.
Married priests would be a "massive change", he conceded. But he added: "At the end of the day, without the priests there is no mass, and without the mass there is no church. So we see in Ireland a huge eucharistic famine in a few years' time."
The number of parish priests in Ireland fell by almost 17% in the 10 years to 2014, from 3,141 to 2,627, according to the church's most recent statistics. About a quarter of the 2014 figure were thought to be retired already, and "the vast majority of those remaining in the priesthood are in their 60s and 70s – or even 80s," said Hoban.
A survey by the ACP in 2012 found that almost nine in 10 Irish Catholics wanted priests to be allowed to marry. "The situation is imploding because priests as a body are getting older and older and there are very few priests coming after us. So people see this huge dilemma," said Hoban.
Pope Francis – who is to visit Ireland in 2018 – was reportedly keen to examine the possibility of married priests at his next synod of bishops. However, the Vatican announced in October that its theme would be young people and vocation after the issue of celibacy was voted down by the body that decides the synod's agenda.
In an address given in November to the ACP annual general meeting, Hoban warned that the priesthood in Ireland was a "lost tribe; we've come to the end of a long line".
When he was ordained in the 1970s, he told the meeting, "parish priests took for granted that they were admired, respected and supported by their parishioners. Their words were infallible; their decisions confident and unquestioned … Now, we're often pitied, patronised, reviled, insulted, disrespected, ignored and resented."
At best, he added, "we're now little more than a ceremonial presence on the sidelines of life".
He said priests who "can't wait to get off the stage" by retiring were manipulated into staying on beyond the age of 75 because of a lack of younger clergymen.
"We're expected to work longer and harder … The effect of our increased and ever-increasing workload is that as we morph into sacrament-dispensing machines, we find pastoral work less and less satisfying."
He went on: "With the implosion of our church, the unease and inconvenience and isolation of our lives, with the regrets and ambivalences that disturb our waking hours and with our singular lifestyles, we're prone to depression in one or other of its malevolent manifestations."
He told the conference suicide had increased among priests in Ireland, but speaking to the Guardian he acknowledged that there was no firm data available.
"A lot of this is hidden. But certainly in the past number of years, there have been five suicides. We've no doubt at all that it is increasing and it hides a whole subculture of depression, isolation and loneliness that priests are now experiencing in parishes and that we ignore at our peril," he said.
His said his speech had triggered a huge reaction from priests and the public, but a "very muted" response from bishops, whom he accused of at best ignoring the problem and at worst bullying clergymen into working longer and harder.
Since the ACP was established six years ago, it had sought "realistic and respectful engagement with [bishops] to discuss issues that we believe are really fundamental to the future of the Catholic church". The ACP has about 1,100 members – more than one in three priests in Ireland.
He said meetings with bishops had been friendly. But he added: "They don't seem to want to talk to us very much any more. We're very disappointed that they haven't taken on board what we're saying. They're effectively in denial about the problems facing the Catholic church in Ireland."
Hoban acknowledged that the church had lost respect in society "because of what's happened particularly in respect of the child sexual abuse scandals and the way they were handled – denials, lack of transparency and openness".
Individual priests and some bishops continued to have good relationships with their parishioners but "institutional authority and respect has gone. It's been a huge revolution, a huge drop in the status of the church."
The ACP was not a trade union nor a thorn in the side of the church, Hoban said. "We're loyal to the church, and loyal to Rome and loyal to our beliefs, but we also feel a huge responsibility to say what we think needs to be said at this critical juncture."
In response to a request for comment, the Irish Catholics Bishops' Conference forwarded a letter sent by Raymond Browne, the bishop of Kerry, to Hoban in October, which said: "The current challenging situation for the future life and mission of the church in this country requires that all of us work together."
It added: "Overall, the bishops are committed to working with priests at every level in ensuring that we are all wholeheartedly proclaiming the gospel and serving the people of God."
Boston Irish Reporter
Ireland's diocesan priests called 'a lost tribe'
By BIR News Room, December 29, 2016
The following are excerpts from a story by Sarah Mac Donald that was published in the National Catholic Reporter on Dec. 1, 2016:
The ever-increasing workload of priests in Ireland is threatening to turn an aging, demoralized, and declining group into "sacrament-dispensing machines" who find pastoral work less and less satisfying, a co-founder of Ireland's Association of Catholic Priests has warned.
In his address to the association's annual general meeting in Athlone Nov. 16, Fr. Brendan Hoban highlighted how suicide is on the rise among Irish priests, a group he said was also increasingly prone to depression.
With the vast majority of Irish priests now age 70 or over, elderly diocesan priests are living increasingly isolated and lonely lives and are constantly "reminded that we no longer really matter, that at best we're now little more than a ceremonial presence on the sidelines of life," he said.
The 68-year-old parish priest said that though "we feel we've done our best to carry the good news," an "avalanche of criticism in the media" meant they were "ritually presented as bad news people, controlling, oppressing, limiting, obsessing."
More than 150 of the 1,000 priest members that the Association of Catholic Priests (ACP) represents heard Hoban explain how the "implosion of our church" in the wake of the abuse scandals had made them realize that they were, in author Fr. Donald Cozzens' words, "the last priests in Ireland."
Stark statistics were cited, such as the plight of "two very prestigious dioceses in Ireland, Dublin and Killala," both of which have just one diocesan priest under 40 years of age. In 20 years' time, both dioceses will have one or maybe a few priests under age 60 to cover 199 parishes in Dublin and 22 rural parishes spread over a distance in Killala.
Acknowledging that diocesan priesthood in Ireland is "a lost tribe," Hoban said priests need to find a voice and the courage to name their truth.
"As the last priests in Ireland, we have a right to consideration, acknowledgement, support, encouragement and, above all, respect," Hoban continued. "Priests who have served the church for so long deserve no less and it's time to start a reasonable conversation about this."
He highlighted how many priests are struggling at a pastoral level with issues beyond their training and competence, such as how to minister to parents of same-sex couples who may be upset or confused, how to respond to an invitation to a same-sex marriage of parishioners, and what does pastoral care mean in these situations?
In an interview with national television in Ireland broadcast following the association meeting, Archbishop Charles Brown, the apostolic nuncio to Ireland, spoke about the extent of the falling away of belief among the Irish people. He told Gay Byrne, host of the television program "The Meaning of Life," that the "fall off in vocations — especially to the priesthood — is a huge challenge." However, he added, the number of priests working today in Ireland is "almost sufficient for our needs," although many of these priests, he acknowledged, were in their 70s.
"So, in 10 years we are going to be looking at a completely different situation here," he said, adding that "it is a big practical problem."
But he also underlined that globally, since the year 2000, the number of priests around the world is getting bigger every year. "We have more and more and more every year. In Ireland or in France – no. But overall, yes. So, I think we have to recognize one element in this question will be non-Irish priests coming to work in Ireland."

Pardon the gendered language- it was written 35 years ago.
In biography, in other respects probably the most difficult form of historical writing, there is at least in principle a clear guide to what is relevant. Biography is about a man, and the ideal data is that which seems to take us deepest into his or her personality, like Florence Nightingale's Notes from God, or Alfred Deakin's prayers. Since he knows what is central, the author should know what is peripheral.

Let those close to you help you through the hard times. 2) GET OUT OF YOUR MIND. It is good to Be concerned about finances, but worrying all the time is not helpful. Schedule a specific time to worry--20 minutes a day. If you find yourself worrying outside that designated time, tell yourself "I've scheduled a time for this." Then, immediately refocus on something else. The human mind is bad at focusing on more than one thing at a time, so focus on something good. 3) Don't lie to yourself. When we experience an upsetting event, such as losing a job, we can (and often do) … [Read more...]

Last Friday my bestie and I popped along to the Victoria and Albert Museum to check out their Grace Kelly: Style Icon exhibition. I'd been looking forward to visiting ever since I found out about it, and was not disappointed. Featuring gowns, accessories and personal items (including the Oscar she won in 1955), the exhibition encapsulated everything that was so remarkable about Grace; the timeless pieces that feature demonstrate her commitment to subtle style, and the accompanying photographs tell the story of a woman who was simultaneously actress, princess and style icon. Although we weren't supposed to take photos, I managed to sneak a few to share with you:
The iconic Hermes Kelly bag, named after Grace. Cue a massive does of bag lust!
These photos really don't do the clothes justice, they are simply exquisite in real life, particularly the intricate embroidery on the gowns. Also there are many more beautiful items which I didn't take any snaps of, including the dress that Grace wore in High Society:
I plan on going back at least once more before the exhibition finishes at the end of September, and can't recommend it highly enough. If you're in London or plan on visiting over the next few months, then definitely plan a trip to the V&A.
Here are some Grace Kelly inspired looks to help us mere mortals channel some of her style:
Peach Lace Shift Dress, £120, ROKIT
Cutwork Lace Blouse, £20,ROKIT
Seagreen Pleated Skirt, £15,ROKIT
Marc Jacobs Striped Silk Blend Lame Dress, £391.60, The Outnet
Linda Farrow Luxe Sunglasses, Net-a-Porter
Matthew Williamson Ombre Print Scarf, Net-a-Porter
A girl can dream!

Here's a quick and hopefully easy guide on how to add pictures and links to the comments in the blog. The precess is a little longer than on some blogs so I have broken it down into simple steps. The first thing that you'll need to do in order to be able to add pictures, is register for a username.
Click on 'Register' to sign up for a free user name. If you alreadt have one, click Login and sign into your account.
To add a comment either click on the 'Add comment' button or 'Reply' to reply to an existing comment.
Type in the text of your comment in the comment window. Have your picture at the ready on your computer. Try to keep the picture size to below approx. 600 pixels and save it as a jpeg file.
To add a picture, click on the 'Add Image' button, circled above, to open the 'Image Properties' window. Click on the 'Browse Server' button to open the 'File Browser'.
Click 'Upload' then 'Browse' to open the 'File Upload' window. Choose your file and click 'Open'
Click Upload.
Click 'Insert file'
Before you add the picture to your comment you can make a few changes to the image properties. I tend to add a HSpace of 10 – this gives a space of 10 pixels on each side of the picture so that it is not butted right up against the text. (HSpace = Horizontal Space) Choose 'Align Left' to line the picture up to the left of the text.
Click OK. The picture should now appear in the text editing window.
If you want to add a link to your text, select the text that you want to become a link then click on the Link icon (circled). Paste or type the web address you wish to link to into the URL box then click OK.
That's basically it. If you select the picture by clicking on it, eight small boxes will appear around the picture. Grab onto these by clicking and holding with your mouse and you can resize your picture. Once you are done, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click 'Save' to complete your comment. As long as you are logged in you can always come back and edit your comment.
And here's what it looks like with link and picture.
I hope you found that useful. Feel free to try out the tutorial by posting pictures of your paper projects!

2.A.26 The Branched Chain Amino Acid:Cation Symporter (LIVCS) Family
Characterized members of this family transport all three of the branched chain aliphatic amino acids (leucine (L), isoleucine (I) and valine (V)). They are found in Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and function by a Na+ or H+ symport mechanism. They possess about 440 amino acyl residues and display 12 putative transmembrane helical spanners.
The generalized transport reaction is:
[L, I or V] (out) + [Na+ or H+] (out) → [L, I or V] (in) + [Na+ or H+] (in)
This family belongs to the: APC Superfamily.

A Thai court sentenced two men to death for murdering another Thai man over his iPhone 7, a court official told dpa.According to the police, in January, Wasin Luengjam, 26, was stabbed to death by two men in a Bangkok suburb who had also slit his throat.The incident was caught on a surveillance camera.Two men, later identified as Kittikorn Wikaha, 26 and Supatchai Jansri, 25, were caught by police in a nearby province while they were on the run.Police said some cash and a watch remained on Wasin's body.Both Kittikorn and Supatchai admitted their crimes. Police said that clear evidence helped lead to their confessions.Police told dpa it is unclear if both men will appeal the decision. Since their arrests and detention in January, none of their relatives have bailed them out, citing a lack of money.

It came out of nowhere, but Curtis Tilt's move to Forest Green, or at least somewhere, soon, was inevitable. Its timing might not be ideal, but for a deal we could hardly stop, it'll turn out to be a good one for Wrexham.
First things first: there was little the club could logically do except accept the offer. A piece of brinkmanship by Forest Green, like Donald Trump's "take it or be left with the thing you despise" offer to Republicans in the House of Represntatives over Obamacare, it left us between the devil and the deep blue sea. Accept and be left short-handed at the back; refuse and miss out on a nice donation from Dale Vince to our "Build The Budget" appeal.
The long term benefits of letting him leave are obvious. Tilt would have left in the Summer, and we wouldn't have received a penny. Would it have been worth it, just to get another seven meaningless games out of him as we try to finish tenth? That seems like the definition of cutting your nose off to spite your face; the possibility of Olly Marx and perhaps Ben Burrows getting the chance to gain valuable minutes on the pitch seems like whatever the opposite of cutting your nose off to spite your face is. Leaving your nose there, I suppose.
Would it have been worth it, just to get another seven meaningless games out of him as we try to finish tenth
Saving ten weeks' wages is a bigger deal than it sounds. Rather than looking at it as a quarter of a salary, consider this: when we replace Tilt, we'll be able to upgrade on the signing we'd lined up by adding a further 25% to his wage. That's the whole concept of "building the budget" – allowing Keates to go up to the next level of quality with some of the players he's looking to bring in. Tilt has, in essence, just upgraded himself.
I admit, it's not ideal to find our back four so exposed for the rest of the season: with Marx out on Saturday as a result of his collision with Chris Dunn when Barrow scored on Tuesday, and James Jennings suspended, the prospect of a Barry-Riley-White-Carrington back four, with only one of those players in his actual position, is not massively far-fetched. (Let's consider the conspiracy theory which says White dreamed of being a centre back all along, his collision with Forest Green's Ethan Pinnock last Saturday setting up Tilt's move and opening the door to him at last!) However, the long term advantages outweigh the short term problem.
In itself, I wouldn't say the departure of Tilt is not a massive body blow to next season, anyway. Tilt has done very well in his first season of full-time football, but over the course of the season Martin Riley has proven to be our most reliable centre back. Tilt has great attributes, most obviously genuine pace and good ability in the air. However, he also has a mistake a game in him, as was shown at Barrow when his failure to deal with a straight ball over the top led to an early free kick on the edge of the box which Dunn had to save. His headlong charges deep into enemy territory, so beloved by some fans, used to worry me, as he tended to get his head down and run until he got into trouble rather than look for options, and when he lost it we found ourselves scurrying back with a whole in the back four.
These rough edges could be smoothed over with time and experience, but it's worth remembering that Tilt is 25, not 18. In the short term world of a National League side desperate for next season to be the promotion campaign we've been waiting for, we need the finished product in as many positions of the starting eleven as possible.
Tilt was a rare creature this season: a good Gary Mills signing. He has done us proud, keeping his head up throughout a difficult season. It's the right time to let him move on and develop his game.

A dentist does far more than make sure your teeth are clean. They are a true partner in your family's health team. A family dentist helps to prevent problems, can identify cancers, and work on your overall health by ensuring your oral cavities are clean. Finding a good dentist, therefore, shouldn't be just an afterthought. So how do you find someone trustworthy of such an important role?
How to Assess a Family Dentist
- How much training and experience do they have?
Your dentist should have attended an accredited dental school and completed the relevant examinations. Find out what their credentials are and confirm these with the issuing bodies. Dentists must also complete continuous education credits every year to keep their knowledge up to date, so do ask about this. You should also ask how the dentist is trained specifically to meet your family's needs, such as being able to handle young children, working with braces, and so on. If anyone in your family is a nervous patient, then you may want to look for someone who offers sedation dentistry or other forms of relaxation. The dental office should be more than happy to answer questions about this.
- Is it a nice office?
You should start by telephoning the office to get a feel of how professional everybody there is. The receptionist should be more than happy to answer all of your questions about the dentist and the office itself. You should also go for an actual visit, however. Find out how clean the reception area is, whether you feel comfortable there, whether you are welcomed by the staff, and so on. You may even be able to take advantage of a free initial consultation. If the dental office does offer this, you should take advantage of it, as it will give you a chance to see the treatment rooms and the available equipment, while getting to know the actual dentist as well. Do also consider the actual location of the office, making sure it is easy enough for you to reach.
- How will your family's needs be met.
Last but not least, you need to make sure that all of your family's needs can be met. For instance, you may need:
- A pediatric dentist for babies and toddlers.
- An orthodontist for teenagers.
- A general dentist for yourself and your spouse.
- Disability access for your older relative who you care for.
Do also remember that opening hours is a need. You must be able to make appointments with your dentist at a time that is convenient to you.
Finding a great family dentist doesn't have to be overly time consuming, but you also shouldn't rush it. Make sure that you consider all the different options out there and that you don't settle for anyone who you do not feel 100% comfortable with. It is better to go without a dentist while finding the perfect one, than being tied to one you aren't happy with.

Aereo is "finished" if Supreme Court sides with broadcasters, says Barry Diller
Aereo, which offers an online TV and DVR service for $8 a month, has a date at the Supreme Court this month to face the broadcasters that want to wipe it out of existence. In case the stakes weren't high enough, Aereo's biggest investor confirmed on Wednesday that there's no back-up plan if the company loses.
"If we lose we're finished … Aereo would probably not be able to continue in business," media mogul Barry Diller told Bloomberg TV.
Diller's IAC, along with other investors, has poured $58 million into the Brooklyn based start-up. Aereo rents tiny antennas to subscribers, who use them to watch and record free over-the-air TV, and is now live in about 12 cities.
The broadcasters, backed by the NFL and others, claim Aereo is violating copyright and are demanding the Supreme Court issue an injunction. Aereo argues that, since each subscriber controls their own antenna, the service amounts to legal private copying that is akin to a remote DVR or VHS machine.
Diller's statement comes a week after Aereo CEO Chet Kanojia said "there is no Plan B" if the company comes up short at the Supreme Court.
Since it launched in 2012, Aereo has framed its business as an explicit challenge to the existing bundle model of TV, in which consumers are obliged to purchase expensive packages of channels even if they only watch a handful of them. If Aereo was forced to join this regime, its service would be unviable, according to Diller.
"We could probably pay retransmission consent dollars if we could make a deal with the broadcasters … but the value proposition would go out of the game," he said.
The Supreme Court case is set for April 22, and will be heard by only eight judges, since Justice Samuel Alito recused himself from the case. A tie means a victory for Aereo since it will mean that an appeals court ruling, which found Aereo to be legal, will stand.

The Connecticut Supreme Court held in a 4-3 decision issued Aug. 13, that the execution of inmates who committed capital felonies before the state abolished the death penalty in 2012 would violate Connecticut's constitutional prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment.
The ruling blocks the state from proceeding with the executions of the 11 men who remained on death row after the abolition of the death penalty. They will now serve life sentences without the possibility for release.
On April 25, 2012, Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy signed Senate Bill 280 (2012), ending the state's death penalty. The law changed "capital felonies" to "murder with special circumstances," an offense now punishable by life in prison without the possibility of release. The law was not applied retroactively, which meant that the 11 inmates were left on death row.
The previous year, Connecticut's House of Representatives passed an abolition bill, but it failed to pass out of the Senate. A key issue in the debate was the ongoing trials in the Cheshire home invasion case, during which a doctor was severely injured and his wife and their two teenage daughters were murdered. The first defendant had already been sentenced to death in the case but the second defendant's trial was still pending, leaving many concerned that these men could not be sentenced to death.
Additionally, a bill to abolish the death penalty passed the legislature in 2009, but was vetoed by former Governor Jodie Rell.
