Appellant S.B. ("Mother") and Appellant J.B. ("Father") (collectively "Appellants"), the natural parents of J.L.B., M.K.B., and M.L.B. (collectively "the children"), appeal the judgment of the probate court which had ceded jurisdiction pursuant to the provisions of the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act ("UCCJA"), section 452.450 et seq., to the State of Utah in an ongoing guardianship matter in which guardianship of the children1 had been previously granted to their maternal aunt, Respondent J.L. ("Guardian"). Appellants assert four points relied on. In late September of 2002, J.L.B. alleged she had been sexually abused by Father. The Children's Division of the Department of Social Services ("the Children's Division") became involved with the family and began an investigation. At the conclusion of the investigation, the Children's Division found probable cause to believe that sexual abuse by Father had occurred and substantiated J.L.B.'s allegations. As a result of these findings and the determination by the Juvenile Office of Laclede County, Missouri ("the juvenile office") of "Mother's unwillingness to protect" her daughters, on November 25, 2002, the Juvenile Office filed a petition for Order of Protection for J.L.B. and M.K.B. with the Juvenile Division of the Circuit Court of Laclede County ("the juvenile court").2 Some time in November of 2002, J.L.B. and M.K.B. were placed by the juvenile court in the care of their maternal grandmother, J.C. ("Grandmother"). Thereafter, on December 17, 2002, a Full Order of Protection was entered against Appellants by the juvenile court and J.L.B. and M.K.B. continued in Grandmother's care. The record reveals J.L.B., a female child, was born on April 29, 1998; M.K.B., a female child, was born on July 12, 2000; and M.L.B., a male child, was born on October 5, 2003. To protect the identities of the parties in this matter we shall refer to them by initials. 1 All statutory references are to RSMo 2000 unless otherwise stated. 2 M.L.B. was not yet born when these proceedings were initiated. 2 On May 21, 2003, the juvenile court adjudicated Father "to have had inappropriate sexual contact with . . ." J.L.B. Thereafter, as best we discern, on June 9, 2003, a representative from the Children's Division filed her report recommending guardianship for J.L.B. and M.K.B. On June 18, 2003, the docket sheet of the juvenile court reflected that an order was entered by the juvenile court placing physical custody of the children with Grandmother with "supervision by DFS until the guardianship is complete." (Emphasis added.) The record also reveals that on this same date Guardian filed her "Petition for Appointment of Guardian of Minors" in the Probate Division of the Circuit Court of Laclede County ("the probate court") followed on August 4, 2003, by Grandmother's filing of her "Counter Petition for Appointment of Guardian of [Minors]." The extensive hearing held in the probate court on the guardianship petitions on April 30, 2004, was attended by Grandmother and Guardian.3 The probate court subsequently entered its "Judgment of Minor Guardianship" on May 10, 2004, as to J.L.B. and M.K.B. In its Judgment, the probate court set out Appellants "are unwilling, unable, unfit and have been adjudged unfit to assume the duties of guardianship . . . ," and observed that Father had "been specifically adjudicated as having sexually abused the minor child J.L.B." The probate court found In its judgment, the probate court noted that Appellants were "unrepresented and have failed to file any responsive pleading or participate in the trial of these causes." 3 3 Guardian was "ready and able to assume the duties of guardianship over [J.L.B.] and [M.K.B.] and it is in the best interests of the minor children for [Guardian] to assume the role of guardianship immediately." Further, in that Guardian was a resident of the State of Utah, the probate court permitted her to relocate the children to her home in Utah, subject to visitation periods with Grandmother. The probate court then issued "Letters of Guardianship" and physical and legal custody of J.L.B. and M.K.B. was transferred to Guardian. While the juvenile cases and the probate cases were pending in relation to J.L.B. and M.K.B., Mother gave birth to M.L.B. in October of 2003. A juvenile case was never opened in relation to M.L.B.'s care. On May 4, 2004, Guardian filed a "Petition for Appointment of Guardian" as to M.L.B. with the probate court. Grandmother also filed a petition for guardianship of M.L.B. A hearing was held on December 10, 2004, and December 14, 2004, relating to these petitions. Mother and Father were in attendance but were not represented by counsel.4 In its subsequent judgment, the probate court found Father "is unwilling, unable and unfit to assume the duties of guardianship" of M.L.B. and that Mother "while willing, is unable and unfit to assume the duties of the guardianship of [M.L.B.]." The probate court then granted guardianship of M.L.B. to The probate court noted in its judgment as to M.L.B. that "[n]either Mother nor Father have filed any responsive pleadings in this case nor is either represented by counsel. Both are allowed to present evidence and argument, pro se." (Emphasis added.) 4 4 Guardian and issued Letters of Guardianship. The record reveals that M.L.B. was then permitted to join his siblings in Utah. Throughout 2005 and 2006 various motions were filed by Grandmother, Guardian, and Appellants5 relating to visitation and child support as well as a motion by Guardian to transfer jurisdiction of this matter to Utah where she resided.6 A motions hearing was held on March 7, 2006, and the probate court took "the Motion to Transfer Cases to the State of Utah under advisement until such time as the [probate] [c]ourt has had an opportunity to speak with the Judge in Utah." The following day the probate court made the following docket entry: Court speaks with [Utah] Judge Rodney Page regarding jurisdiction. Judge Page advises Court that there are adoption proceedings pending in his Court and that the cases will proceed. Judge Rodney Page will keep this Court informed and will address jurisdictional issues with the Court as they arrive. Motion to transfer case to State of Utah is overruled at this time. Thereafter, additional motions were filed regarding, among other things, attorney fees for the guardian ad litem, visitation issues, and Appellants appeared in these matters pro se from the filing of the petitions of guardianship until December 13, 2006, at which time they retained counsel. 5 We note the juvenile court entered an order on September 1, 2005, "dismissing cases [of J.L.B. and M.K.B.] and relinquishing jurisdiction . . ." to the probate court. 6 Also, while not technically included in the record on appeal, both parties note in their briefs that at some point in time after returning to Utah with the children Guardian initiated adoption proceedings in that state. 5 enforcement of the UCCJA. On March 2, 2007, the probate court made the following docket entry: The Court is contacted, on 3/[1], by the Hon. Rodney Page Judge, of the 2nd District Court, Davis County, Utah as a follow up to the discussion previously had on 3/8/06 regarding the adoption proceedings of the [children] pending before him in the State of Utah, and jurisdictional issues in this case. After discussing this case with Judge Page and reviewing the file, this Court finds the more appropriate forum for jurisdiction is in the State of Utah. Therefore, this Court cedes jurisdiction under the UCCJA to the State of Utah as to the minor child[ren]. In late March of 2007, Appellants filed the following motions: a "Motion for Rehearing and Retention of Jurisdiction;" a "Motion to Invite Comments of Missouri Doctors;" motions for visitation as to each child; a "Motion for Change of Guardian to a Missouri Resident;" and a "Motion to Retain Jurisdiction in Missouri." The probate court held a hearing on these motions on April 13, 2007, and, following argument by counsel, found: Missouri does have jurisdiction, the state of Utah has jurisdiction, and when you have those competing jurisdictions, there's a procedure that's laid out in the UCCJA to rectify that issue. And that's the process that Judge Page and I engaged in twice . . . . I have not heard anything that would alter my decision that was made in conference with Judge Page ceding jurisdiction to the state of Utah for them to proceed on the adoption proceedings. If that adoption proceeding should fail or otherwise be disposed of, this Court may assert jurisdiction at a later time. But right now, there's -- and that would be -- the next step, I would say, would be for [Appellants] to try to file a 6 motion to terminate the guardianship and that it's no longer needed. But right now, the issue that they're going to have to litigate is in the state of Utah. And it's my understanding that their interests were represented at the jurisdictional hearing in the state of Utah. Accordingly, the probate court overruled Appellants' motion regarding jurisdiction and declined to "entertain other motions for lack of jurisdiction." This appeal followed.7 This Court affirms a probate court's judgment in guardianship proceedings unless it is not supported by substantial evidence, it is against the weight of the evidence, or it erroneously declares or applies the law. In re Benson, 124 S.W.3d 79, 83 (Mo.App. 2004). As a result, we must affirm the judgment unless it is not supported by substantial evidence, it is against the weight of the evidence, or it erroneously declares or applies the law. Id. We must consider the evidence and all reasonable inferences in a light most favorable to the probate court's judgment, disregarding any evidence or inferences to the contrary. Id. "Although we give deference to the [probate] court's factual determinations, our review of any error in applying the law is de novo." Pulley v. Sandgren, 197 S.W.3d 162, 165 (Mo.App. 2006). In their first point relied on, Appellants assert the probate court erred in establishing guardianships over the children because the probate court was without subject matter jurisdiction since the exclusive jurisdiction of the juvenile court over proceedings involving children alleged to be in We note Appellants were granted permission by this Court to file a late notice of appeal in this matter. 7 7 need of care excludes courts of general jurisdiction from exercising jurisdiction over children who come within the provisions of the juvenile code, in that J.L.B. and M.K.B. came within the provisions of the juvenile code by the findings of the juvenile court, and M.L.B. had been brought within the provisions of the juvenile code and under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court by his situation; lacking subject matter jurisdiction the orders of the probate court are null and void.[8] "Subject matter jurisdiction, in contrast to personal jurisdiction, is not a matter of a state court's power over a person, but the court's authority to render a judgment in a particular category of case."9 J.C.W. and T.D.W., minors, by their next friend, Kelly K. Webb v. Jason L. Wyciskalla, No. 89404, slip op. at 5 (Mo. banc filed January 27, 2009). "In contrast to the federal system, the subject matter jurisdiction of Missouri's courts is governed directly by the state's constitution." Id. Article V, section 14 sets forth the subject matter jurisdiction of Missouri's circuit courts in plenary terms, providing that 'the circuit courts shall have original jurisdiction over all cases and matters, civil and criminal. Such courts may issue and determine original remedial writs and shall sit at times and places within the circuit as determined by the circuit court. See State v. Weinstein, 413 S.W.2d 178, 182 (Mo. banc 1967) (holding that juvenile courts are accorded "paramount jurisdiction over other courts in matters relating to the care and custody of children coming within the provisions of Chapter 211"). 8 Typically issues relating to the "lack of subject matter jurisdiction can be raised at any stage in the proceedings." Woods v. Mehlville Chrysler-Plymouth, 198 S.W.3d 165, 169 (Mo.App. 2006). "The only action a court without subject matter jurisdiction can take is to exercise its power to dismiss." Id. 9 8 Id. (quoting Missouri Constitution Article V, § 14). "Many types of cases may present issues where more than one court properly has subject matter jurisdiction over the same matter or issue. One of the most common is the area of child custody." Kelly v. Kelly, 245 S.W.3d 308, 312-13 (Mo.App. 2008). "'In Missouri, the custody of a child may be adjudicated in at least five types of actions: (1) dissolution; (2) habeas corpus; (3) juvenile; (4) guardianship; and (5) paternity.'" Id. (quoting In Interest of Moreau, 161 S.W.3d 402, 405-06 (Mo.App. 2005)); see also section 211.051. In child custody matters, section 475.040 authorizes the probate court to appoint someone other than a parent as guardian in certain instances. "'The probate division of the circuit court has the same legal and equitable powers to effectuate and to enforce its orders, judgments and decrees in probate matters as circuit judges have in other matters.'" Kelly, 245 S.W.3d at 313 (quoting § 472.030). Here, Appellants try to collaterally attack the guardianship judgments entered in 2004 by incorrectly asserting the probate court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to enter its judgments. It is clear, however, from our reading of J.C.W. that cases such as Weinstein, 413 S.W.2d at 182, can no longer be read as countermanding the subject matter jurisdiction otherwise granted to the circuit court by Article V, section 14 of the Missouri Constitution to hear and decide civil cases. J.C.W., No. 89404, slip op. at 5. As set out in Kelly, 245 S.W.3d at 315, "[o]ur Supreme Court has recognized . . . that the term jurisdiction has 9 been overused and misused to describe situations where it was simply legally erroneous to enter a conflicting judgment while another action was pending or a judgment involving the same issue still in effect." In Kelly, the mother and the grandparents, the appellants therein, contended the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to entertain a post-dissolution custody modification motion filed by the father of the child because there was an outstanding guardianship order placing custody of the child with the grandparents. Id. at 309. In support of their proposition that the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction, the appellants contended that under the "'concurrent jurisdiction doctrine' the modification court was required to dismiss [the father's] motion to modify the dissolution order unless the guardianship had been previously terminated." Id. The reviewing court disagreed with the appellants and found that "the modification court did have [subject matter] jurisdiction, but f[ou]nd that the trial court [legally] erred in entering a conflicting custody order before termination of the guardianship." Id. It observed that "in some sense [it was] a misnomer to describe the concurrent jurisdiction doctrine as depriving one court of jurisdiction." Kelly, 245 S.W.3d at 313. Rather, the term was "simply a phrase describing the legal reality that more than one court had the legal authority to decide a matter." Id. Furthermore, the reviewing court noted that the term "concurrent jurisdiction" was "not an evaluative principle distinguishing between two potential decision-makers" and it 10 noted other "rules determine how the conflict may be resolved." Id. at 314. The Kelly court also quoted In re the Marriage of Hendrix, 183 S.W.3d 582, 590 (Mo. banc 2006), for the proposition that "'[t]he tendency to call matters 'jurisdictional' that are really only assertions of legal error greatly confuses the notion of jurisdiction in civil cases.'" Kelly, 245 S.W.3d at 315 (quoting Hendrix, 183 S.W.3d at 590). The Kelly court then observed that the trial court had but "legally erred in entering a judgment conflicting with the guardianship order before that order was terminated," and should otherwise "have taken steps to consolidate the two proceedings both for purposes of judicial efficiency and avoidance of inconsistent judgments." Id. at 315-16. Further, the appellate court found that the matters could be consolidated "before either the modification court or the probate division" and reversed and remanded for further proceedings. Id. at 316. In the present matter, proceedings relating to the daughters were initiated in the juvenile court. As best we discern from the record, the juvenile court expressly recognized it was aware of the guardianship proceedings pending in the probate court; the probate court entered its judgments of guardianships; and the juvenile court, thereafter, dismissed its proceedings. As in Kelly, what in reality Appellants are asserting are errors of law and not issues of subject matter jurisdiction; accordingly, their allegation of legal error should have been timely brought via appeal 11 following the entry of the judgments of guardianship in this matter on May 10, 2004, and December 14, 2004. See Rule 81.04.10 Appellants cannot now attempt to bootstrap such an attack by arguing a lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Point I is denied. In their second point relied on, set out as an alternative to Point I, Appellants assert the probate court erred in establishing guardianships over the children "because parents have a fundamental liberty interest in their children and restrictions upon parental rights must be in accordance with due process of law which includes the right to notice, the right to be heard, and, in matters where parent-child bonds are at risk, the right to counsel . . . ." Specifically, Appellants assert they are aggrieved because their "parental rights have been restricted through guardianships which severely limit parents' contact and visitation with their children, and which will likely have a destructive effect on parentchild bonds . . . ;" Appellants "were denied notice of the temporary guardianship hearing for their son . . . ;" Appellants "were denied the right to be heard and to defend in the guardianship trial involving their daughters . . . ;" and Appellants "were denied counsel throughout the probate proceedings." As such, Appellants urge they "have been denied due process in defending their fundamental liberty in their children, making the orders of the probate court void for want of due process of law." 10 All rule references are to Missouri Court Rules (2008). 12 Here, the Letters of Guardianship and Judgments of Guardianship of J.L.B. and M.K.B. were entered on May 10, 2004. The Letters of Guardianship and Judgment of Guardianship as to M.L.B. was entered on December 14, 2004. Appellants did not appeal those rulings at that time nor did they challenge them substantively in the four years this matter was pending in the probate court.11 All of the issues raised in this point relied on were reviewable, if at all, at the time the guardianship judgments were entered in 2004. Appellants cannot now challenge these issues in that their time to appeal them expired in excess of four years ago. See Rule 81.04.12 Appellants' arguments under this point relied on are not cognizable in this appeal. Id. Point II is denied. As an alternative to both Points I and II, Appellants' third point relied on asserts the probate court erred "in transferring jurisdiction over [the children] to Utah, because the [Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children ("ICPC")] requires that when a child is sent or brought into a state for interstate placement, the sending agency that caused the child to be sent or brought into the receiving state must retain jurisdiction . . . We note that section 211.462.2 relating to the juvenile court provides that in termination of parental rights proceedings the "parent or guardian of the person of the child shall be notified of the right to have counsel, and if they request counsel and are financially unable to employ counsel, counsel shall be appointed by the court . . . ." We find no similar provision in the probate code relating to guardianship proceedings. 11 Section 472.180 sets out that in probate matters "[a]ll appeals shall be taken within the time prescribed by the rules of civil procedure relating to appeals." Accordingly, Rule 81.04 is applicable to the present matter. 12 13 ." Appellants urge "the probate court lacks authority to transfer jurisdiction" in the present situation because "the children were brought in the State of Utah for interstate placement . . . ;" "the probate court is the sending agency that caused M.L.B. to be brought into the State of Utah . . . ;" and "the juvenile court is the sending agency that caused J.L.B. and M.K.B. to be brought into the State of Utah."13 Having searched the voluminous record in this matter, this Court has failed to find a single instance in the transcripts or in the legal file where Appellants raise this issue.14 "A party on appeal generally 'must stand or fall' by the theory on which he tried and submitted his case in the court below." Kleim v. Sansone, 248 S.W.3d 599, 602 (Mo. banc 2008) (quoting Walker v. Owen, 79 Mo. 563, 568 (Mo. 1883)). With that being said, despite their failure to raise this claim below, this Court "may, at its discretion, review [their] claim for plain error" We note Appellants appeal from the probate court's docket sheet entry of March 2, 2007, which ceded jurisdiction of this guardianship matter to Utah. Although this "judgment" is not denominated as such and is not a signed writing by the court as required by 74.01(a), it is nevertheless a final judgment for purposes of appeal in that Rule 74.01(a) has been consistently held not to apply in probate proceedings. Kemp v. Balboa, 959 S.W.2d 116, 118 (Mo.App. 1997); In re Estate of Standley, 204 S.W.3d 745, 749 (Mo.App. 2006). Section 472.160.1(14) authorizes an appeal in the probate division "in all other cases where there is a final order or judgment of the probate division of the circuit court under this code except orders admitting to or rejecting wills from probate." See In re Nelson, 119 S.W.3d 197, 201 (Mo.App. 2003). Accordingly, we have the authority to address this appeal. 13 The issue was mentioned in the testimony of a Children's Division caseworker at the guardianship hearing for M.L.B. on December 10, 2004, and was otherwise brought up during arguments by counsel for other parties. 14 14 under Rule 84.13(c). In re R.S.L., 241 S.W.3d 346, 351 (Mo.App. 2007). We do so because these proceedings involve the custody of children. In determining whether to exercise its discretion to provide plain error review, the appellate court determines whether there facially appears substantial grounds for believing that the probate court committed error that is evident, obvious and clear, which resulted in manifest injustice or a miscarriage of justice. Care and Treatment of Heikes v. State, 170 S.W.3d 482, 485 (Mo.App. 2005). "If a claim of plain error does not facially establish substantial grounds for believing manifest injustice or miscarriage of justice has occurred, an appellate court should decline to review for plain error." Id. Turning to the substance of Appellants' asserted point relied on, Appellants urge the ICPC is applicable in the present matter and that its provisions were breached by the probate court due to its ruling that it was ceding jurisdiction of this guardianship matter to the State of Utah. The ICPC is embodied in section 210.620. The purpose of the ICPC is for states "to cooperate with each other in the interstate placement of children . . ." such that "[e]ach child requiring placement shall receive the maximum opportunity to be placed in a suitable environment and with persons or institutions having appropriate qualifications and facilities to provide a necessary and desirable degree and type of care." Article V of section 210.620, regarding jurisdiction, states: 15 (a) The sending agency[15] shall retain jurisdiction over the child sufficient to determine all matters in relation to the custody, supervision, care, treatment and disposition of the child which it would have had if the child had remained in the sending agency's state, until the child is adopted, reaches majority, becomes self-supporting or is discharged with the concurrence of the appropriate authority in the receiving state. Such jurisdiction shall also include the power to effect or cause the return of the child or its transfer to another location and custody pursuant to law. The sending agency shall continue to have financial responsibility for support and maintenance of the child during the period of the placement. Nothing contained herein shall defeat a claim of jurisdiction by a receiving state sufficient to deal with an act of delinquency or crime committed therein. (b) When the sending agency is a public agency, it may enter into an agreement with an authorized public or private agency in the receiving state providing for the performance of one or more services in respect of such case by the latter as agent for the sending agency. (c) Nothing in this compact shall be construed to prevent a private charitable agency authorized to place children in the receiving state from performing services or acting as agent in that state for a private charitable agency of the sending state; nor to prevent the agency in the receiving state from discharging financial responsibility for the support and maintenance of a child who has been placed on behalf of the Article II of section 210.620 sets out that a "sending agency" is "a party state, officer or employee thereof; a subdivision of a party state, or officer or employee thereof; a court of a party state; a person, corporation, association, charitable agency or other entity which sends, brings, or causes to be sent or brought any child to another party state;" that a "receiving state" is "the state to which a child is sent, brought, or caused to be sent or brought, whether by public authorities or private persons or agencies, and whether for placement with state or local public authorities or for placement with private agencies or persons;" and that "placement" is "the arrangement for the care of a child in a family free or boarding home or in a child-caring agency or institution but does not include any institution caring for the mentally ill, mentally defective or epileptic or any institution primarily educational in character, and any hospital or other medical facility." 15 16 sending agency without relieving the responsibility set forth in paragraph (a) hereof. Article VIII of the ICPC specifically states it "shall not apply to: (a) [t]he sending or bringing of a child into a receiving state by his parent, stepparent, grandparent, adult brother or sister, adult uncle or aunt, or his guardian and leaving the child with any such relative or nonagency guardian in the receiving state." § 210.620 (emphasis added). The application of the ICPC has only been addressed in three reported Missouri cases: In re Adoption of Baby Boy W., 701 S.W.2d 534 (Mo.App. 1985), an adoption proceeding initiated in Missouri where the adoptive parents resided in Indiana and the child and its biological parents resided in Missouri; In re Baby Girl ---, 850 S.W.2d 64 (Mo. banc 1993), an adoption proceeding in which Arkansas residents filed a petition for adoption in Missouri to adopt a Missouri baby from a couple living in Missouri; and In re T.N.H., 70 S.W.3d 2, (Mo.App. 2002), upon which Appellants exclusively rely. Article VIII of section 210.620 specifically states its provisions do not apply to the "sending or bringing of a child into a receiving state by . . . his guardian . . . ." Nevertheless, Appellants maintain In re T.N.H. supports their position that "the status of the interstate caregiver as relative or guardian does not negate the applicability of the ICPC" because "[t]he court is the entity whose authority caused the children 'to be sent or brought' in the state of Utah." Appellants argue that it was the Laclede County Circuit Court through its juvenile and probate 17 divisions which caused the children to be sent or brought to Utah. We disagree. In In re T.N.H., mother was residing in Virginia Beach, Virginia, when, in August of 1989, she became pregnant by father, who was stationed in the Navy. Id. at 4. In May of 1990, while the child was in father and step-mother's custody, father and step-mother moved from Virginia to Texas with the child. Id. Mother made contact with them in Texas and told them to keep the child with them in Texas. Id. In July of that year mother filed a petition seeking custody of the child in juvenile court in Virginia; however, she made no progress on this petition in that the summons was sent to father's old address. Id. In March of 1991, father, step-mother, and the child moved to Missouri and were able to get into contact with mother by telephone on several occasions; however, in time, Mother ceased her phone conversations with the child. In re T.N.H., 70 S.W.3d at 5. In November 4, 1996, father and step-mother divorced and the child lived with step-mother until June of 1998 when she began living with her paternal grandmother. Id. Thereafter, the child was taken into protective custody by the Children's Division and on July 6, 1998, a protective custody petition was filed against father for failing to care for the child and leaving her in grandmother's custody because grandmother "was not at the time entitled to legal or physical custody of . . ." the child. Id. In the petition, Mother's address was listed as "whereabouts . . . unknown" and she did not appear at the 18 subsequent hearing on the petition. Id. Following the hearing, legal custody of the child was placed with the Children's Division and physical custody of the child was granted to grandmother and grandfather. Id. at 5-6. Mother eventually received notice of the proceedings, appeared at a hearing on February 17, 2000, and then filed several motions with the juvenile court. In re T.N.H., 70 S.W.3d at 6. The juvenile court continued the previous custody orders in place. Id. Following an August 8, 2000, hearing the juvenile court entered several orders including "an order to [the Children's Division] to immediately refer the case 'to ICPC'" and the matter was continued to "further consider [m]other's motions, protective custody, and [grandparents'] petition for guardianship." Id. at 7. On August 18, 2000, mother filed a motion for contempt "against the State of Missouri and [the Children's Division] alleging that [the Children's Division] and State of Missouri willfully failed and refused to refer the case to ICPC and arrange visitation." Id. The "motion was denied on September 5, 2000." Id. Then, on November 22, 2000, mother reversed her point-of-view and filed a "Motion to Rescind previous orders requiring referral by [the Children's Division] to ICPC . . . ," which was later denied by the juvenile court. In re T.N.H., 70 S.W.3d at 6. Mother then appealed. Id. On appeal, mother argued the juvenile "court erred in failing to grant her Motion to Rescind Orders pursuant to the ICPC because 19 [section 210.620] Article VIII(a) renders the ICPC inapplicable to parents and mandates that ICPC does not have to be followed when a child is returned to his or her parents." Id. at 9. In addressing this point, the appellate court stated: Interestingly, [m]other sought in her August 18, 2000[,] Motion for Contempt to hold the State of Missouri and [the Children's Division] in contempt for failure and refusal to refer the case to ICPC, but now wants to rescind the order referring the cause to ICPC. Further, on March 2, 2001, [m]other acknowledged that an ICPC report had been completed . . . . Mother volunteered to participate in the ICPC and acknowledged that the report was completed, thereby accepting the court's decision in the matter. Here, a final determination has not been made as to custody of [the child] and if, in its final determination, the court decides to return [the child] to [m]other's residence in Virginia, [the Children's Division] will be the agency sending her there, not [m]other. In re T.N.H., 70 S.W.3d at 9 (emphasis added). Accordingly, the appellate court denied mother's appeal. Id. The facts of the present, consolidated cases, are not similar to those found in T.N.H. In T.N.H., mother did not have custody of the child. Id. at 5-6. Furthermore, as the court noted in its opinion, mother "volunteered to participate in the ICPC and acknowledged that the report was completed, thereby accepting the court's decision in the matter." Id. at 9. In the present matter, as legally appointed guardian of the children, Guardian relocated the children to Utah. The record reveals and Appellants concede in their brief that consent for the Guardian to relocate to Utah with 20 the three children was approved by the probate court as to all the children as well as by the juvenile court as to J.L.B. and M.K.B.16 As previously related, Article VIII of section 210.620 clearly sets out that the ICPC does not apply to the "sending or bringing of a child into a receiving state by . . . his guardian." The present matter is, however, akin to that found in the case of In re Interest of Eric O., 617 N.W.2d 824 (Neb. Ct. App. 2000). In In re Interest of Eric O., in June of 1997 the juvenile court, over the objection of father, appointed "Cole C. and Patricia C." as guardians for two children, who had been in their care since 1994. Id. at 827-28. In 1999, Cole and Patricia filed a motion to move with the children to Texas and father, who had been exercising visitation rights with the children, filed a motion objecting to the relocation. Id. at 828-29. The juvenile court denied father's motion and allowed the children to move to Texas with Cole and Patricia. Id. at 829. On appeal, the appellate court noted that both "Nebraska and Texas have adopted the [ICPC]" and "[a]bsent an exclusion, the [ICPC] would be applicable to the movement of [the children] from Nebraska to Texas." Id. at 830. It stated the ICPC's "purpose is to ensure that states cooperate with each other 'in the interstate placement of children,'" In re The probate court had ordered the Children's Division to obtain an ICPC report relating to Guardian through the State of Utah on February 19, 2004, and a Utah home study was ordered by the Children's Division in April of 2004. 16 21 Interest of Eric O., 617 N.W.2d at 830 (quoting Neb. Rev. Stat. § 431101), and that Article VIII of the [ICPC] provides that [it] does not apply to '[t]he sending or bringing of a child into a receiving state by his parent, stepparent, grandparent, adult brother or sister, adult uncle or aunt, or his guardian and leaving the child with any such relative or nonagency guardian in the receiving state.' This exception is applicable in the present case, because as we earlier said, the record shows that at the time of the removal application, [Cole and Patricia] were court-appointed guardians of the boys. Therefore, because the record shows that Cole and Patricia are guardians, we hold that compliance with the [ICPC] was not a prerequisite to [the children's] moving to Texas. Id. (quoting Neb. Rev. Stat. § 43-1101). Here, Guardian had a court order from the probate court appointing her as the children's guardian and she had specifically been granted permission to relocate to Utah with the children. The ICPC is not applicable in this instance. We find no plain error. Point III is denied. Lastly, as another alternative to Points I and II, Appellants maintain in their fourth point relied on that the probate court erred in transferring jurisdiction of the children to Utah "because due process requires that jurisdiction must not 'offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice' . . . ." Appellants argue this transfer of jurisdiction was in derogation of their constitutional due process rights in that they "have no contacts with the State of Utah . . . ;" they "lack means to defend their parental rights in the State of Utah because any 22 grounds that exist for termination of parental rights are based upon actions that occurred in the State of Missouri and all witnesses for [Appellants] are located within the State of Missouri . . . ;" and they "lack financial means to travel to attend court proceedings in the State of Utah." As in Point II above, Appellants maintain here that their due process rights were violated. This issue was not raised prior to this time and such constitutional assertions must be raised "'at the first available opportunity'" and preserved "'throughout the proceedings.'" In re J.M.N., 134 S.W.3d 58, 73 (Mo.App. 2004) (quoting In the Interest of T.E., 35 S.W.3d 497, 504 (Mo.App. 2001)). Appellants' due process arguments are not preserved for appeal. Id. Point IV is denied. The judgment of the probate court is affirmed. Robert S. Barney, Judge BATES, J. – CONCURS SCOTT, P.J. – CONCURS Appellants' attorney: Karen L. Hobbs Respondent's attorney: J. Christopher Allen 23

Chapter 23 Reviews
switches POV's "Ok you can make it up to me. But how are you going to without getting caught?" What is Alexee talking about? Read to find out!
I followed her to the wherever she was going. I had an idea it was to find a bathroom, but she was headed in the complete opposite direction! I finally caught up to her (soccer helps) and grabbed her arm gently. "If you're trying to find a bathroom, it's the other way."
"Maybe I'm trying to find the door?" She said. Now that one hurt. I don't know why though, when Ashlee said that to me it didn't hurt, I was usually happy. I think she noticed the look of hurt on my face, which I tried to hide, and she started to laugh. "I'm kidding Jason. Can you show me where the bathroom is?"
I gladly accepted and guided her through the mass of people. I didn't really notice that many people were here until now. And I never noticed that Dane Cook was right. It really is the most complicated to get to bathrooms during parties, and it's always the most annoying problem. Just to get to one bathroom we had to go down the hall, up the stairs, around the corner, into the master bedroom, through the walk in closet, into another bedroom (which I figured to be Patrick's hiding place since it was hidden), and finally into the bathroom. There might have been another way that may have been quicker, but too many people were here to get through that way.
"That was complicated." She stated. "Dane Cook is definitely right about bathrooms." I had to laugh at that because she basically said what I was thinking.
She then started wiping herself off with a washcloth. The next thing I knew, I was helping her. She didn't object but I could tell it was rather uncomfortable for the both of us. "Again, I'm really sorry about this. Let me make it up to you, please?"
Alexee's POV:
He asked if he could make it up to me. I didn't know what to say. Who am I to know who I'm talking to? He could be some molester or something and I wouldn't know because he's wearing a freaking dinosaur costume. He did look kind of familiar though, like I had seen him somewhere before wearing that exact outfit. Then it hit me, Pete Wentz. I started thinking back to the beginning of the party. The boy looked exactly like Patrick Stump.
I was in the middle of cleaning off my arm when I stopped. Looking up at me were gorgeous hazel/brown eyes. This definitely had to be Pete. I had to play this cool though. "Ok you can make it up to me. But how are you going to without getting caught?"
He looked as confused as a skater in a kitchen. "Caught like how? I was just thinking about taking you out to dinner or something. Why would I get…" he trailed of and immediately when wide-eyed. Wow, he is as stupid as he looks. "How did you find out?"
"I own Release the Bats 1 and 2 because my sister is a huge fan. You decorate her walls like no other." He laughed with me and we both eased up a bit. "Pete, why do you have people call you Jason if it isn't your name?" I continued wiping myself off while he wiped off my shoes for me.
"I don't really know. The looks they give me are priceless so I guess I just do." I nodded and smiled. "So now I ask you this, what is your name?"
"My name is Alianna but people call me Alexee." I answered Pete and sat down on the floor next to him when I finished wiping off my legs and feet.
"How do people get Alexee out of Alianna?"
"My full name is Alianna Nevaeh Alexee Parker. So I go by anything that has something to do with my name." I laughed and looked at my phone before looking over at Pete. "I have to get going. My sister and I have to get at least 6 bags of candy by 3am and it's already 1. It's tradition. Do you want to come?"
[[Will Pete say yes or no? Will he find out that it's Alianna's birthday and take her to do something special? Who knows cause' I don't. It's up to you so get to reviewing!!!]]

The Pyongyang Metro (Korean: 평양 지하철 P'yŏngyang Chihach'ŏl) is the metro system in the North Korean capital Pyongyang. It consists of two lines: the Chŏllima line (Korean: 천리마선), which runs north from Puhŭng (Korean: 부흥) station on the banks of the Taedong to Pulgŭnbyŏl (Korean: 붉은별) station, and the Hyŏksin line (Korean: 혁신선), which runs from Kwangbok (Korean: 광복) station in the southwest to Ragwŏn (Korean: 락원) station in the northeast. The two lines intersect at Chŏnu (Korean: 전우) station. Daily ridership is estimated to be between 300,000 and 700,000.[2][3]
Construction of the metro network started in 1965, and stations opening between 1969 and 1972 by former President Kim Il-sung.[4][5] In 1971, there was a major accident during the construction of a tunnel under the Taedong River for the Ponghwa (Korean: 봉화) station. Some sources say at least 100 workers died in the accident.[6] This particular piece of tunnel was never completed; the metro network is now completely located on the western side of the river.
Pyongyang Metro is one of the deepest metros in the world—the track is claimed to be approximately 110 meters (about 360 feet) deep underground.[7] (The Saint Petersburg Metro also claims to be the deepest, based on the average depth of all its stations. The Arsenalna station on Kiev Metro's Sviatoshynsko-Brovarska Line is currently the deepest station in the world at 105.5 metres.[8] The Porta Alpina subway station is supposed to be 800 meters underground when it opens in 2017.[9]) The Pyongyang Metro has a museum devoted to its construction and history.
|Route diagram
The Pyongyang Metro network consists of two lines:
- Ch'ŏllima line, named after a very fast horse from ancient Korean mythology. It spans about 12 km (~8 mi). Construction started in 1968, and the line was opened on September 6, 1973.
- Hyŏksin line, which literally means renewal, spans about 10 km (~6 mi). Regular service started on October 9, 1975.
For the most part, the stations' names do not refer to the locations of the stations; instead, stations are named after themes and characteristics from North Korea's revolution. But Kaesŏn ("Triumph") is located at the Arch of Triumph.
The network is completely underground. The design of the network was based on metro networks in other communist countries, in particular the Moscow Metro.[10] Both networks share many characteristics, such as the great depth of the lines (100 meters plus) and the large distance between stations. Another common feature is the Socialist realist art that can be found in the stations such as murals and statues.[11] Staff of the Metro have a military-style uniform that is specific to these workers.
In times of war, the metro stations can serve as bomb shelters.[12] For this purpose, the stations are fitted with large steel doors.[13] Some sources claim that large military installations are connected to the stations,[14] and also that there exist secret lines solely for government use.[2][15]
One station—Kwangmyŏng (Korean: 광명)—is reported to be closed since 1995, due to the mausoleum of Kim Il-Sung located at that station. Trains do not stop at that station.
The Hyŏksin line is reported to have two new stations planned or under development, Yŏngung (Korean: 영웅) and Ch'ilgok (Korean: 칠곡). The map of the Hyŏksin line shows these two additional stations after Kwangbok station.
The map of the Chŏllima line shows two additional stations, Ryŏnmot (Korean: 련못), Sŏp'o (Korean: 서포), Ch'ŏngch'un (Korean: 청춘) and Mangyŏngdae (Korean: 만경대), at each end of this line which are planned or under development.
Each Metro station has a free toilet for use by patrons. Stations also broadcast the programs from state radio and have a display of the newspaper Rodong Sinmun.
One surprising detail is that many windows of the subway cars show signs of German graffiti. This is because the cars were mostly imported from Berlin, Germany. Meanwhile some North Korea tour operators have started offering chartered journeys on the old German trains through the entire metro system.[16]

The Pyongyang Metro was designed to operate every few minutes. During rush hour, the trains can operate at a minimum interval of 2 minutes. Foreign tourists used to be allowed to travel only between Puhŭng Station and Yŏngwang Station. However, foreign students have been allowed to freely use the entire metro system.[citation needed] These two stations were completed in 1987. The other stations on this line were all completed in 1973, suggesting that they may be less modern. It has also been suggested that foreign tourists are limited to the Puhŭng and Yŏngwang stations because these two stations are typically less crowded due to their location at the end of a line, therefore reducing interactions between foreigners and locals.[17] Since 2010 tourists are allowed to ride the metro for 6 stations.[18] University students traveling with the Pyongyang Project have also reported visiting six stations.[19] The trains have the ability to play music and other recordings.[20]
The Pyongyang Metro is one of the cheapest in the world to ride, at only 5 KP₩ (about $0.03 USD) per ticket.[21] The Metro used to utilize an aluminium token, with the emblem of the Metro minted on it and the Korean "지". It now uses a paper ticket system, with 지 printed on it. Smoking and eating inside the subway system is prohibited, and punishable by a large fine.
Rolling stock[edit]
When operation of the metro started in the 1970s, newly built rolling stock was used. Although North Korea insists it was built in Korea, the four-car formations, known as DK4, were built in China by Changchun Car Company in 1972. All together 345 vehicles were built, of the whole, only 112 cars were actually used. In 1998, some of these trainsets were sold to the Beijing Subway, where they served in three car formations on line 13 (they have since been replaced by newer DKZ5 and DKZ6 trainsets; it is unknown if the DK4 units have been returned to Pyongyang).
Since 1998, the Pyongyang metro has used former German rolling stock from the Berlin U-Bahn. There are two different types of rolling stock:
- GI ("Gisela"), former East Berlin stock, built between 1978 and 1982.
- D ("Dora"), former West Berlin stock, built between 1957 and 1965.
The trainsets received a new red and cream livery in Pyŏngyang. All advertising was removed and replaced by portraits of the deceased leaders, Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il.
Recent travelers have only seen type D and, rarely, DK4 in operation; the GI-type has been replaced by the Dora-stock. GI-trains were used until recently at the railway network around Pyongyang. Those units have been moved to Hamhung in 2013 and serve as communter trains there. However, in April 2014 GI-stock was spotted again in in the capital, likely being there for maintenance reasons[22]
Foreign tourists visiting North Korea can only see the metro as part of guided tours of Pyongyang. However, a BBC reporter who was covering the visit of U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright in 2000 was able to walk around the city without being accompanied, and saw "old East German trains complete with their original German graffiti."[23] Recent photographs taken by visitors all show the same handful of type D trains, so it is possible that only a few type D trains have been repainted and that these are the only ones shown to foreigners on guided tours.[24] A visitor in 2004 noted 40 cars at one line, divided in ten trains[citation needed]. Recent travelers have also seen DK4 on excursion operation, mostly in 2006 and 2007 in 4-car formation. As of 2006, photos suggest the Hyŏksin line is served only by DK4 trainsets. As of 2014, it is now possible for tourists on special Public Transport Tours to take metro rides through both lines, including visits to all stations.[25] In April 2014, the first tourist group visited stations on both metro lines. It is expected that such extended visits to both metro lines will remain possible for future tourist groups.[26]
Pyongyang Metro has its own museum. A large portion of the collection is related to President Kim Il-sung's providing "on the spot guidance" to the workers constructing the system. Among the exhibits are a special funicular-like vehicle which the president used to descend to a station under construction (it was riding in the inclined tunnel that was to be eventually used by the escalators), and a railbus in which he rode around the system.[27]

text: I have always been a fan of pageants, regardless of contestants age. It's never too early to teach our baby girls that 'success' begins with a suck and ends with sex. Being the parent of a 14 year old boy I never got to experience being a pageant mom. When my son was two I came up with the idea of a pa-'gent' in which young boys could dress up in buttless chaps or any other type of buttless pant with a cucumber stuffed up front. We could paint on facial hair and muscles and encourage them to dance all around ala Magic Mike style. Hell, if little girls get to wear padded bras and lip liner, than boys should have the same opportunities. My idea was never well received as some people had the nerve to accuse me of sexualizing a child. Even as I explained that my pag-gent would act as a starting point to a fufilling future as a child star. Look how well this worked out for MacKenzie Phillips, Michael Jackson and Lindsay Lohan. I applaud your courage to take on such an important topic. I can't imagine that there were any perk(ies) to sharing studio space with a beauty queen. Keep up the good work.

Adult Learners' Week is an annual celebration across the UK and this year falls between 12-18 May. In Northern Ireland EGSA acts to promote and co-ordinate information and events – see http://egsa.org.uk/learning-promotion/celebrate-inspire-and-engage-during-adult-learners-week-2012/
This year the Forum for Adult Learning NI (of which WEA is a partner and acts as secretariat) is seeking to give the celebration an extra push. With the imminent demise of the Dept for Employment and Learning it is important to remind our politicians and other decision-makers of the importance of adult learning and how vital it is that it is supported - particularly community provision which is more vulnerable than statutory provision.
The WEA would like to ask its members and other supporters to think how you could do something during the week to raise the profile of adult learning. Events do not have to be big or costly – they could just be the arrangement of the presentation of certificates, or the launch of a new learning programme or the invite to a local politician to come visit your centre and see classes in operation. Whatever you plan please make use logos found on our Offical Logos page, so that it is clear that you are supporting ALW and please also contact EGSA so that your event is incorporated into the overall calendar of events for the week.We would also encourage you to contact the local media and make sure that your MLAs and councillors know about the event or attend.
The WEA will also be organising events during the week and you will be able to follow news of these on our website.
Please help us to tell all the fantastic stories of adult learning that we know are out there and let us all work together to secure the future of adult learning in NI.

The main and co-main eventers for Saturday's UFC 150: Henderson vs. Edgar II fight card met with the media at the Fillmore in Denver on Thursday.
More MMA
Melvin Guillard is never at a loss for words leading up to his fights, but facing his friend and former teammate Donald Cerrone at UFC 150, the tone is decidedly different than normal. Be sure that Guillard will bring everything he's got to the fight, and his intent is to win, but there is a tremendous mount of respect for his friend, even if other fighters in the UFC lightweight division aren't necessarily getting Guillard's approval.
Check out what Benson Henderson had to say at Thursday's UFC 150 pre-fight press conference…

I have to admit that kate is one of my favorite celebrities. This flawless beauty has such an exceptional sense of style from her hair to her make-up, and designer looks. She can have anyone on the brink of envy. But were here to grant that eternal wisdom on how to share that sophisticated look – called Kate Beckinsale.
Kate B. donning the high pony tail look – But I want that look too! Here's how;
Spray hair with a light hair spray using Paul Mitchell's Super Clean Extra hairspray. And then use a Mason Pearson brush to pull hair into a high ponytail and secure with a strong elastic.
Kate's wardrobe consists of colors such as black, brown, blue, khaki and white. She keeps the attention on her beautiful face and amazing physique, instead of on what she's wearing.
Kate keeps it simple – Blue jeans and cropped silk top with beige handbag in leather, and daring high heels.
Kate matches her accessories to her outfits. Her purses complement her look. So try to match your accessories, so they don't clash, and keep them neutral.
Keep it cute like Kate – accent jeans with a floral siphon or silk top for the summer.
Kate knows how to glam her look and style. So choose dresses that are classic and feminine, and that shine your good looks and natural beauty!

Data Updates
Keeping you up to date on the latest data releases.
September 2014
- 03.26.2010
- Real GDP: Third Estimate for Fourth Quarter 2009
- Real GDP was revised down from 5.9 percent (annualized rate) to 5.6 percent in the fourth quarter, according the third estimate from the BEA. While the downward adjustment wasn't expected by most analysts (Bloomberg's forecast range was 5.7 percent to 6.0 percent), it is just 0.1 percentage point below the initial estimate of 5.7 percent for the fourth quarter. Real GDP rose 0.1 percent from the fourth quarter of 2008 to the fourth quarter of 2009, marking the first year-over-year increase in more than one year. The overall revision from the second to the third estimate was due to minor downward revisions to consumption, investment in structures, and inventories. Changes in private inventories were trimmed slightly, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point decrease in their contribution to output growth, which still stands at almost 4 percent. Consumption was revised down again to 1.6 percent in the third estimate and is now 0.4 percentage point below the advanced estimate for the fourth quarter. The negative adjustment to business fixed investment during the revision came as investment in structures fell further into the red, going from −13.9 percent to −18.1 percent. The equipment and software component actually nudged a little higher (from 18.2 percent to 19.0 percent) in the fourth quarter.

The Wauwinet Resort -Nantucket Island's Elegant Hideaway
Twilight In AmericaThe Wauwinet Resort -Nantucket Island's Elegant Hideaway
April 4 2003
Twilight in America
This morning I was reading a treasury of sublime instructions
from a high Tibetan lama. America .....

To read this entire feature FREE with photos cut and paste this link:
It is Friday at noon and Robin and I are sailing across Nantucket Sound on the Grey Lady, Hy-Line Cruises third generation, water-jet catamaran, a high-speed ferry that will take us from Hyannis to Nantucket in just one hour. (Opening photo: The Wauwinet draws its name from the land on which it was built, which in turn was named for a 17th century Native American sachem who controlled the eastern part of Nantucket Island. With 35 exquisite rooms it serves guests from May through October.)
Like most passengers aboard, we begin to feel the tug of urban life loosen its grip as we anticipate the slower pace of island life just ahead. At near full-capacity the Grey Lady is delivering its daily catch of island regulars and first-time weekenders to the isle some thirty miles off the coast of Cape Cod. We stare at the water and watch the ripple of waves emerge from the catamaran's hull. We bathe in the hypnotic effect of the sea, the sun and the spirals of wind that touch down on the surface. Happily, by the time we arrive at the historic wharves of Nantucket, we are already relaxed.
The Scoop On Stress And Exercise
Stress is defined as a response by your body to any demand made upon it and a 'demand' means a change.
Did you know .....
We disembark and pick up our luggage from the rolling carts the crew has hustled from the ship's hold. A few steps from the gangway we see a friendly face hoisting a hand-carved, hand-painted sign overhead that reads, "The Wauwinet." We work our way through the mid-day crush of visitors that spills from the shops of the town center and within minutes are aboard the inn's jitney, making the nine mile drive toward Great Point and the quiet side of the island.
"Welcome back," our driver Clarence intones in a deep Caribbean timbre that makes us feel like we've been wrapped in a soft blanket. "We'll have you there in a bit," he adds. "The weather is wonderful and you've come at just the right time."
The Wauwinet is located on a strip of land between the Atlantic Ocean and Nantucket Bay, tucked in next to a bird sanctuary. It is itself a sanctuary from the often frantic pace of the island's center and is the last commercial property on the road to Great Point Lighthouse and the nature preserve that surrounds it. Approaching the mid-19th century inn, one might not guess that in the two years prior to its reopening in 1988, it was virtually rebuilt from the foundation up in a $3-million renovation by new owners Stephen and Jill Karp, who purchased The Wauwinet House ' as it had previously been known ' in 1986. To conform to the strict code of Nantucket's Historic District Commission, the exterior of the building retains the look of the original with unpainted cedar shingles that have weathered to a soft gray.
"We've been expecting you," Innkeeper Bettina Landt greets us in a most likable tone. The bellman and reception crew scurry to attend our arrival as she adds rhetorically, "You had a good cruise'"
Our eyes soak in the stunning d'r, antiques and oil paintings that surround the cozy reception room, and from our first steps inside The Wauwinet, we sense that this is an uncommon place. It feels more like we have just arrived for a summer stay with old friends, and they are genuinely happy to see us. The Wauwinet is the only Relais & Chat'x property on Nantucket, the 50-year old international hotel and restaurant association whose signature "Five C's" stand for Character, Calm, Charm, Courtesy, and Cuisine. I add one more C, for "clearly", this is not just another inn on the island.
Our bay-view room, like each of the 35 guest rooms, is individually decorated. The Karps worked closely with New York interior design firm Kuckly Associates to transform the historic inn to meet the needs of a contemporary clientele accustomed to the best in accommodation. Each of the high-ceilinged rooms was equipped with paddle fans and guest-controlled heating and air-conditioning. Cozy nooks were fitted in to provide comfortable spots for reading or taking in the seascape visible from the windows. Antique pine armoires and chests, upholstered headboards, chairs and decorative objects such as baskets, hat boxes and wood-carvings are all distinctly individual as are bedspread and drapery fabrics and wallpaper borders around the ceilings. Fresh flowers stand on bedside tables while sheets and pillowcases are eyelet-trimmed. Bathrooms are embellished with brass fixtures, their floors tiled in white and their walls paneled with bead-and-board wainscoting. Above the paneling, hand-sponging or glazing by local artisans in pastel glazes suggests the style of 1920s seaside cottages.
We unpack in a jiffy, fill a tote with summer novels, soft hats and sunscreen and head out to further investigate the inn's nooks and crannies. We discover that even the hallways are decorated with the same attention to detail as the rooms. Ceiling panels on the top floor are painted with blue sky and clouds. Marbleized paper decorates lower wall panels. Three-dimensional carvings over each guest room incorporate the dolphin and seashells of The Wauwinet logo. A large wooden bowl of fresh fruit, continually replenished, stands on a side table at the head of the stairs.

Selection of home fitness exercise equipment is central to setting up your own home gym. To come .....
After poking around a bit more, the outdoors beckons and we make our way through the French doors that lead to the great lawn on the bay side of the inn. The lawn is surrounded by beach rose and dozens of song birds singing cheerfully in the bush. It is a lovely place, soft and inviting. Here guests read and doze away the afternoon nesting in thickly-cushioned, white-wicker recliners.
The Wauwinet's transformation was also designed to restore the marine activity that had long characterized the northeastern end of the island. To this end, the Nantucket Bay beach was renewed and a 254-foot dock added, reminiscent of the historic wharf where sailing vessels from Nantucket Town once disembarked guests for diner and overnight stays. Now, Captain Rob McMullen sails The Wauwinet Lady on twice-daily cruises that bring up to 26 guests from town to Topper's, the inn's award-winning restaurant led by Chef Christopher Freeman. (See the accompanying feature, Zagat: Topper's Best on Cape and The Islands.)
At 4:00 p.m. Bettina Landt reappears to announce the start of sherry and cheese hour in the library. Normally, the library is locked except for house guests who may use the quiet space at anytime, gaining entrance with their room key. The doors are left open only between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m. and again at 7:15 in the morning for early risers who wish for coffee and homemade muffins. On this day Bettina pours your choice of sherry or port and prepares a plate of fresh crackers with Chevre, Camembert or Crottin Chavignol, which she serves in the library or delivers back to your chaise on the lawn.
We learn that Bettina and her husband Eric, who heads up the food and beverage area, are in their third year at the inn. Before that she had spent nearly five years with the Four Seasons in New York City and Hawaii. Eric, in turn worked several years with both Hilton and Sheraton. They bring a rare blend of knowledge and experience from the big-time, corporate hospitality-trade that gives them the confidence to serve their guests in a charming, easy going manner.
The inn's jitney runs to town and back every hour or so and we, along with a young Manhattan couple, Cindy and Dave, take the 6:25 to make dinner at The Pearl, an exotic seafood-fusion restaurant. The Pearl's motif appears predominately turquoise ' the wait staff wears turquoise shirts and a turquoise, glowing-light scheme, that seems to emanate from the large fish tank in the center of the room, gives the overall effect of dining underwater. Somehow, it works and the Sashimi taste delightful.
Back at the inn we stop at the intimate Topper's lounge for a nightcapand are introduced to a "flight" of Calvados ' the equivalent of one drink split across three ascending price levels, served in cordial-size glasses on a silver tray; the 1st tier a VSOP, the 2nd a Selection, and the 3rd a 15 year Hors d'age ' all Calvados Morin from the Maison Fondee founded in 1889.
Read The Topper's Feature by Jim HollisterWe chat with David Silva, a sixth-generation Islander and owner of The Galley, one of the island's most popular restaurants (known for its spectacular sunset view) and inquire as to why he is at Topper's. "All the restaurant owners know each other out here and we eat at each other's places," he explains. "But in my opinion," he offers, "Topper's is the best restaurant on the island." Considering the source, I'm struck by his ready endorsement.
Divining Your Karmic NumberSaturday begins with an hour of yoga under sunny skies on the deck by the bay side beach. Paul Bruno of The Yoga Room in Nantucket leads us through a vigorous, Iyengar-style class that leaves us feeling stretched, strengthened and invigorated. Paul's classes are held exclusively for guests on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday at 8:30 a.m. and are open to all levels. We dash from class back to our room where a pre-ordered breakfast of omelets, scones and coffee awaits. We have twenty minutes before we will meet up again with Cindy and Dave, and Naturalist David Perks for a three-hour, four-wheel drive excursion to the Great Point nature reserve. The Wauwinet is the only commercial establishment on the island that has been given rights to transport guests on the reserve.
Your karmic number interpretation tells you what you need to do in order to correct your actions from previous lives. It can also help provide invaluable instruction as to what to .....
