Plans Progressing for New Dunkirk Shopping Center
Dunkirk, MD - 8/15/2011
By Marty Madden
A proposal to build a third shopping center in Dunkirk that was snarled in a dispute between the developer and residents of an adjacent subdivision appears ready to move forward.
The re-platting of three lots needed for construction of a connector road from the subdivision, Apple Greene, to Ward Road, where The Shoppes at Apple Greene would located, is scheduled to be discussed at the Wednesday, Aug. 17 meeting of the Calvert County Planning Commission.
According to Rick Bailey of Marrick Properties, the developer of The Shoppes at Apple Greene, the proposed action would simply re-record the three parcels on Pipin Court as commercial instead of residential. Bailey indicated that Marrick Properties might request a deferral of Wednesday's planned action in order to make slight modifications to the request. In a memo to planning commission members, the panel's administrator, Yolanda A. Hipski, conditions for preliminary approval for the extension of Dunkirk Way have been met and she is recommending final approval.
The site development plan for the shopping center was conditionally approved by the planning commission in October 2003. In 2008, the plan became a bone of contention between the residents of the Apple Greene subdivision when it was learned that the shopping center would be serviced by a dripping irrigation sewage system similar to ones used at the Marley Run subdivision in Huntingtown and the Gateway Shopping Center in Dunkirk.
Leaders of the Apple Greene Civic Association had lobbied the Calvert County Commissioners and planning commission to stop the project if the developer didn't provide a 500-foot buffer between the sewage system and the subdivision. The residents made it clear they were not opposed to the shopping center, just the sewage system.
Bailey indicated Monday that the two sides may have found a way to resolve the issue. A phone number for the Apple Greene Civic Association was located on the Internet but a call to that number was not immediately returned.
Bailey said the modified application for a proposed septic system to serve The Shoppes of Apple Greene is currently under consideration by the Maryland Department of the Environment.
The proposed road right-of-ways would give Apple Greene residents another route out of their neighborhood, connecting it with Ward Road and Town Center Boulevard. Currently, anyone entering or exiting Apple Greene must use Route 4. The connector road's construction is part of the Dunkirk Town Center Master Plan.

Prenatal Pampering: Spas that Cater to Moms-to-Be
Hershey Hotel
If you're looking for a good reputation, look no further than the candy aisle and you'll understand what makes the Spa at the The Hotel Hershey in Pennsylvania as famous as the chocolate which shares its name.
Since opening in January 2001, signature treatments based on cocoa and other elements of the region all relate to the history of Milton Hershey.
"We've worked with chemists and estheticians to develop the very same sweet scent of chocolate that you smell entering the town of Hershey," enthuses The Spa at Hotel Hershey Director Jennifer Wayland-Smith.
A 2004 expansion doubled the spa's size with 53 treatment areas where you can be dipped, wrapped, and submersed in chocolate. Certain treatments are not recommended for expectant mothers including hydrotherapy, body wraps, and tissue massages. Pregnant women can enjoy a 50-minute prenatal massage, Spa Rain Shower, and exfoliation treatments like the Chocolate Bean Polish, Peppermint Salt Scrub, Strawberry Parfait Scrub, or a Cuban-inspired Mojito Sugar Scrub.
For the expectant mom with a growing family, the spa offers a family-friendly environment that caters to adults as well as special services for teens.
Ritz Carlton Spa
The Ritz Carlton Spa in Orlando, Florida, has done over 366 pregnancy massages just since July 2003, when it added the service after seeing a demand for treatments with mothers-to-be.
The spa's packages include a Mother-to-Be's Day of Delight which features a
50-minute Citrus Magnolia Soufflé Pregnancy Massage that helps alleviate hip, leg, and lower back pressure and an Aqua Latte Foot Massage—a milk and herbal soak from a hydro pedicure chair where muscles in the legs and feet are massaged and energy flow is restored. Other services in the package include the Visible Brilliance Facial and Magnolia Milk Hydration Manicure and Pedicure.

Miscarriage is nature's way of discarding a pregnancy that didn't proceed in a way compatible with life. Even though it may be mere disposal, to prospective parents it is a real tragedy, with hopes and dreams and a certain romantic vision of their child-to-be dashed before their broken hearts. But the fact remains that it does happen, and it happens for a reason.
As physicians, we obstetricians must treat the discarding aspect scientifically and the human tragedy aspect with compassion and understanding. Often it happens very early. Since a lot of miscarriages happen even before implantation, a woman may not even miss a period. The fact that this occurs at a rate of almost 60 percent is a staggering thought, but when one realizes how many things must go perfectly to make a baby, it's a wonder that it happens at all. "Miracle" is never a worn-out word for the conception and healthy birth of a baby.
Miscarriage occurs in about a fifth of all clinically diagnosed pregnancies. This is a staggering amount of anguish since most couples never consider this possibility when they choose to have a child. And if one were to include the very early miscarriages that happen silently around the time of an expected period, the numbers are much higher.
Miscarriage can happen for a number of reasons. Almost always it is because of some random genetic mismatch unsuited to progressing all the way. Once again, we're at the mercy of the biological rules. It is nature's way of assuring a continuing healthy species. Miscarriage can also happen due to infection; maternal diseases such as lupus, diabetes, and thyroid problems; and abnormalities with the anatomy of a woman's reproductive tract. The sad fact is that it happens to people who are blind-sided by this loss. Sometimes it happens to the same couple more than once, prompting evaluation for known causes. But most of the time there is no known cause, and the couple feels they are being sent away with only an invitation to return to the obstetrician for the next try, as if finally pulling it off tomorrow would undo today's tragedy.
This is the illusion, especially for a couple who feels that the loss is their own private catastrophe, and they can't seem to share enough with others no matter how hard they try. Unfortunately they are somewhat left on their own, because there are no rituals for this type of human loss, no funerals, no memorial services. Friends and relatives, often misguided into thinking that mentioning the miscarriage will only be upsetting, are instead seen as uncaring in their silence. The grieving couple has only each other, and that may not be enough for the feelings of guilt and self-examining retrospection. And anger. After all, this isn't just some tissue that was discarded, like an appendix or a gallbladder. This was their son or daughter. There were dreams of seeing little league events, helping with homework, attending dance recitals, and walking down an aisle. The whole sense of what might have been is lost to a clinical world of procedures, blood tests, and insurance forms.
A mathematician can count on his fingers, but that in no way reflects the beauty of mathematics. This word processor can lay down words at the direction of certain keystrokes, but that in no way compares to the actual beauty of what is written. I manage the complication of miscarriage, but that doesn't reduce my feelings for what might have been. So I do not merely send a couple on their way with an invitation to return for the next try. Instead, I applaud them for going back into the world to once again play by the biological rules. They will have that baby not to replace that permanent little hole in the heart left by a miscarriage, but because they want a baby.
The science of in vitro fertilization (IVF) has brought about advances in our knowledge of conception and survival of the zygote and subsequent embryo. We now know that there are many miscarriages that go undiagnosed, a fertilized egg unsuccessfully implanting or unable to do so because of severely distorted fusion of chromosomes. Such miscarriages are completely absorbed or fall away with what is seen as the routine menstrual flow. Taking this type of miscarriage into account, we're careful now to say that miscarriage happens in 20 percent of all diagnosed pregnancies. But total miscarriage risk is probably closer to 60 to 80 percent when the silent ones are considered.
Perhaps it is fortuitous that the majority of miscarriages go unnoticed, for we would be one "bummed out" species otherwise. Even the 20 percent is overbearing—just ask someone who has experienced a miscarriage. The more we learn about this, the more we realize just how precious each person is. I think that a couple that experiences a miscarriage really knows this. It takes about three months before a couple can deal effectively with their loss. This is quite a requiem, which only underscores the importance of what has been lost. My advice for those who know such mourners is to ask them how they're doing. They really don't want to be alone in all of this. At the appropriate time they'll file this tragedy away for safekeeping and get on with the rest of their lives. Until then, let them share their grief.

New Browser for mobile Linux devices
French software vendors, Pleyo have announced a web browser based on Apple's Webkit. The "Origyn Web Browser" (OWB) is mainly designed for use on mobile devices that run on Linux.
OWB draws its codebase from Apple's Webkit, which in turn is based on the KHTML source code. Pleyo has designed OWB's architecture to facilitate porting the browser to various consumer devices, such as media players, set-top boxes, or cellphones. Thus far, OWB has been ported to the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet. Pleyo has also published the OwBal PortingGuide to describe how to port the browser; the guide has a number of additional tips and tricks on working with embedded devices. The Origyn Web Browser is modular, meaning that developers only need to port the components they really need for the target device.
The Web browser is still being tested and improved. Pleyo aims to release two versions of OWB per year. Users can download the source code on Sand-Labs.org. The browser is released under a dual license of BSD and L-GPL.

Green roofing shingles ideal for use on all garden buildings with pitched roofs.
"I re-roofed our shed with these shingles a couple of years ago and they look as good now as they did when I fitted them. I made sure I followed the recommendation of laying an underfelt first, laid from the ridge to the eaves (90 degrees to the shingles) and fixing down the shingles with plenty of adhesive. I also picked a warm day so that the felt, shingles and adhesive were nice and pliable. It really was easy to fit and I would thoroughly recommend these shingles to any competent DIYer."

Doors are open seven days a week and customers are invited to come by in the morning or afternoon.
"I would like to welcome everybody to stop and see us," Maria said. "We always have fresh brewed coffee — regular and decaf."
Maria, her husband Frank, and their daughters Sara and Sofia, came to Patterson to be near their beloved relatives — sister-in-law, Maryann Estrada, a local realtor, and mother-in-law, Lucile Pepe, who passed away in June.
The family has been in the United States for 16 years after their departure from Serpa, Portugal. Though the family is excited about the prospect of opening a coffee shop in Patterson, this isn't their first go-around when it comes to business. Maria said they had a coffee shop in Portugal before residing in the States.
"It's always been a little dream of ours to open the business — a coffee shop," Maria said. "We had one those before back in Europe. I've always wanted to bring a European coffee shop to America."
Daughter Sara is on the premises with Maria most of the time, hence the name Miss Café. Meanwhile, husband Franck lends a lot of support, while youngest family member Sofia attends classes at Patterson High School.
Every day Maria makes a different soup for her patrons, but promises clam chowder served every Friday; Maria's Portuguese beans are also a well-renowned delicacy of hers. Plans for spring and summer include the possibilities of having Portuguese sweet breads and filhos (Portuguese donuts) on the menu. The family is also thinking of serving Portuguese beans and linguica come Apricot Fiesta time.
Besides soups, sandwiches are served with customers' choice of bread, meat and condiments.
Coffee — regular and decaf — are available all day, as are pastries and cookies. Residents are invited to call ahead of time to place their lunch orders for swift service.
Miss Café's winter hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and
Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 11 Plaza, Suite D.

Time Has Come Today
I think it is at a point where we should be concerned about Sam Gagner getting signed. Steve Tambellini and Kevin Lowe have made the circuit (media) this week and Gagner (and Cogliano) have also recently gone public on the situation.
"All is fine" seems to be the mood of the negotiations, but if true we should be hearing words like "close" and "middle of next week" and we are not hearing it. In Steve Tambellini's media walkabout yesterday (and I'm using David Staples excellent update which is here as a reference) he did make some comments about Gagner. He talked about Gagner playing a more prominent role ("if they're ready to do it" which is hilarious. Note to Steve: Gagner can read a depth chart) and that in terms of leadership "we also think it's time for guys like Gagner to show up."
Which is true. Gagner turned 21 earlier this month and has three NHL seasons experience. He's a smart kid and has posted three seasons of top 5 in team scoring (3rd, 5th 2nd by season) and can help the new kids adjust to the rigors of the NHL game.
Ethan Moreau taught him well.

Kerala Tour Packages
Sumptuously blessed with the natural features as the gleaming backwaters fed by the pristine waters of the rivers originating in the verdant and charming corners of the Western Ghats, the classy beaches, picturesque hill stations with manicured tea gardens, the richness of the wildlife sanctuaries and national parks the god's own country Kerala is ranked as the best tourist destination in india. Its heart stirring natural beauty, rich culture, tradition and the peaceful atmosphere invite huge number of tourists from across India and abroad for holidays and vacations. If you are among the many who wants to tour Kerala, we have exciting Kerala tour packages that would make your trip hassle-free, exciting and memorable. Our team of experts have designed several packages taking in consideration of the requirements of the tourists and the budget that they can afford. We also provide customise packages, whereby tourists have full freedom to include their own travel destinations, number of days they want to spend and the facilities they want on their trip. We are there to offer the services as per the requirements of our guests as we believe in "Your Satisfaction Our Pride".
Kerala is known to be a tourist's paradise in south India and a lot of people come here to enjoy the beauty of beaches, the less known gem of nature - the backwaters and the hill stations backed with the quality accommodation in the hotels and the resorts associated with us.
The beaches in Kerala are known to be different from the goan beaches as here we find solitude and calmness where the holidayers can rest and recreate themselves amid the fresh winds blowing from the Arabian Sea and the swaying palms. The packages usually include one or a few of the popular beaches and the stay in one of the many beachside resorts or hotels.
After the beach tour the tourists are headed for one of the many backwater locations in the state. The backwaters in the state have developed a marvellous ecosystem. At places these backwaters are prevented from mixing with the saline waters and utilize for irrigation purposes. The best way to enjoy these backwaters is the state of the art works of architecture the Kettuvalam. These are gigantic boats that provide accommodation and food onboard along with the tours and almost all the packages available from the state have them included in their deals. These houseboats are laden with all the modern facilities and are a pride of every kind of packages.
The destinations next in the tour are the hill stations of the state as Idukki, Munnar, Wayanad, etc. where the charm of the landscapes steal away the hearts of the visitors. Munnar is the most popular hill station that finds its place in almost all the packages that include the hill station locations.
The tours then reach for the safari into the wild and delight the customers with the elephant back rides, jeep safari and the treks available in here. So if you want to experience all these inviting and exciting flavour of Kerala, we have packages for you that come in every size of the budget ranging from the deluxe to the standard. For every heart that wishes to make a tour with us we have a package for you and all the facilities you would want to exclude or include can be decided while booking your package.
Hope you have a good travelling experience with us and leave the state with heart full of memories and satisfaction.

How much is your dog worth? Some might say a dog is worth the amount of money an owner paid for him or the amount the dog could fetch in a sale. But for some pet owners, it's far more complicated. For many, a dog becomes a true family member whose value can't be defined by dollars and cents.
A controversial Texas court decision has people talking and arguing about this very issue. Last November, Fort Worth's 2nd Court of Appeals ruled that value can be attached to the love of a dog, contradicting a 120-year-old Texas Supreme Court decision that said plaintiffs could only recover the market value for their pets in wrongful death cases.
The recent case involved a Texas couple whose dog, Avery, escaped from their backyard and was picked up by animal control. When the husband found Avery at the local animal shelter the next day, he did not have enough money to pay for the dog's release. The owner was told he could return the next day and a "hold for owner" tag was placed on Avery's cage. When the owner returned, the dog had been euthanized. The couple sued a shelter employee, claiming the employee's negligence caused the dog's death.
The couple argued Avery's value could not be determined by market value and looked to recover "sentimental and intrinsic" damages. After their lawsuit was dismissed in trial court on the grounds that it failed to state a claim for damages recognized by law, the Court of Appeals overturned that ruling. This took direct aim at an 1891 Texas Supreme Court decision that held a plaintiff could recover only the market value of a dog or the particular value of a dog's services to the owner.
"Until now, U.S. law has always treated pets as personal property, meaning recovery of damages for the loss of a pet is limited to that animal's fair market value," explains Atlanta, Georgia personal injury attorney Roger Orlando of the Orlando Law Firm. "But this Texas decision opens up the possibility that owners who feel their pets were wrongful death victims could recoup much more than market value in court."
"That thought has veterinarians, kennel owners, and dog sitters on edge", says attorney Martin Sweet of legal information website THELAW.TV. "They're worried the decision will put them at risk of being sued for negligence and steep damages every time a pet dies in their care."
It's an issue that we're sure to hear more about in the coming months. The shelter employee who was sued asked the Texas Supreme Court to reverse the latest decision. The high court has not yet decided if it will hear the case.

Co-Written with Ellie and Tayler
In Romania there are a huge pack of wolves, Grey wolves to be exact, and they have their Royal family like the vampires have the Volturi, their Royal family are the Lupei. The Luepi have one son that goes to America for an exchange program and while there he is accompanied by his friends on four. While there, they each meet their mate, but the girls aren't wolves, they are half wolf, well some of them are wolves and know, but are not allowed to tell the friends that aren't wolves. So how will the guys explain to the girls that they need to go with them to Romania and bond with them?
Each wolf only has one mate, and when that mate dies they die. But they need to complete the mating bond, first the male mate gets a tattoo added onto his tattoo and his female mate also gets a tattoo that fits into his like a perfect puzzle. Also only the alphas have tattoos that go around the front and back of his body, so that no matter how he stands people can see that he is the alpha.
The male wolf will know who his mate is because, first they are able to talk through thoughts and they having the matching tattoos, but also the mates can't stand to be away from each other for long periods of time.

It's hard for him to have the other wolfs know what he is thinking since he is so used to being a closed book. He protects people instead of himself. In fact he doesn't care what happens to him. If he woke up on the top of a random building he wouldn't care. But if the Prince or a friend went missing he would flip and put on a FBI worthy rescue mission to find them.
Role: Annaleigh's Secret Brother/ Prince's Friend
Other: He is only in football

Chasity shook her head, "You know you're not allowed to hurt my father in anyway, even though we hate him so much right now." She said shaking her head. "And yeah the list is short, it's only from this year and last year... not many though." She said sighing and closed her eyes thinking.
Chasity looked at her laptop and grabbed it and started typing. She typed on how to fake a mate bond. She waited for the results and it showed like planning things out and drawing a tattoo and everything. "Do you think this could work?" She wrote on a piece of paper since her dad was still in the house.
Chasity bit her lip, "Well I know that if we get a mate with a wolf that is dormant, the signs only appear when the dormant is put into a serious event, like almost dying..." She wrote thinking of ways to fake one.
Chasity nodded. "But, it would give us more time to find out true mates. We could always just tell daddy dearest, that they weren't really our mate, we just thought they were because we felt that strong protective pull towards them."
Chasity bit her lip, "Well you have your keys for your bike don't you and um I know Mason has my keys, because I saw him steal them from me, but I really don't know where they are..." She trailed off thinking.
Chasity looked at the clock and shrugged. "Heck maybe they got lost, I mean Mason probably is driving my car and we both know that Addy has no sense of direction." She said chuckling
Sorry fell asleep!!
Chasity laughed and grabbed a plate filling it up with food. "I'm going to try and call Addy to see where they are." She said smiling at Melissa as they sat outside on their patio.
Carter raised and eyebrow. He wanted to mess with his friend and smirked wide. "Hm I'm really liking that Chasity chick." He said smiling and nodded.
Mason's heart sank "You do?" he asked somberly "Are you sure about it?" he questioned. "she can be pretty mean as you've seen today" he said trying to dissuade his friend form liking her.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12-months. Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Marvell Technology Group as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, expanding profit margins and increase in stock price during the past year. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity and weak operating cash flow. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- MRVL has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 3.43, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- The gross profit margin for MARVELL TECHNOLOGY GROUP LTD is rather high; currently it is at 57.72%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Despite the strong results of the gross profit margin, MRVL's net profit margin of 7.24% significantly trails the industry average.
- Compared to where it was 12 months ago, the stock is up, but it has so far lagged the appreciation in the S&P 500. Despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year, there is currently no conclusive evidence that warrants the purchase or sale of this stock.
- Current return on equity is lower than its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of weakness within the company. When compared to other companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry and the overall market, MARVELL TECHNOLOGY GROUP LTD's return on equity is below that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to $83.86 million or 57.79% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing the cash generation rate to the industry average, the firm's growth is significantly lower.

Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Detroit Red Wings defenseman Brian Rafalski will miss Friday's series opener against the Anaheim Ducks with an upper-body injury.
Rafalski did not practice with the club on Thursday, but Wings head coach Mike Babcock initially said he gave the backliner the day off. However, the 35- year-old was did not attend the pre-game skate on Friday, forcing Babcock to admit the truth, that Rafalski was injured and could not play.
Jonathan Ericsson is slated to take Rafalski's place alongside Nicklas Lidstrom. The injury also created the opportunity for 47-year-old Chris Chelios to see his first action in the 2009 playoffs.
A native of the Detroit suburbs, Rafalski posted 10 goals and 59 points in 78 games during the regular season, adding a goal and two helpers during a first- round sweep of Columbus.
