Stephen Smith Collection 1805–1875
Boston cabinetmaker, inventor in the 1830's of the roll-top desk; pioneer land developer and planner, and owner of a model farm and other properties in Barnstable. The papers record the conduct of the firm of Stephen Smith & Co., Cornhill, Boston, a furniture business and real estate partnership with considerable holdings in that part of Boston known as Ward Eleven, or South End. Many fine buildings, including Minor Hall, Concord Hall, Lincoln Hall, and the Smith Block, as well as properties on Washington, Concord, and Commercial Streets, were built and owned by this firm. The "desk" business was auctioned off in 1875 following the death of Stephen; but the real estate business continued in the family until 1945.
Included in these papers are bills and receipts, specifications for buildings and repairs, rental agreements, contracts, promissory notes, mortgages, lists of properties owned and tenant-occupied, insurances, and tax records, as well as agreements with the many craftsmen who were hired to make furniture for the firm.
Included also are papers arising from the operation of the Barnstable farm, which was conducted by Stephen in the early years as an absentee gentleman farmer. In the later years, when, when Stephen spent more time in Barnstable, letters were sent to his son Charles in Boston directing him in the conduct of the real estate business. The records reveal that in 1849–1850, in return for shares in expected profits, Stephen provided the necessary capital for persons "desirous of proceeding to the gold regions of California on adventures for gain," and that Charles, in1869, in return for a share in the patent rights and any profits derived there-from, provided capital to an inventor of a "new method of recoloring cloths."
Among the personal papers are biographical and genealogical data; correspondence of the children of Stephen and Eliza D.: Eliza D. (wife of John B. Bartlett); Adeline (wife of William Henry Allen); Edward F.; and Charles L., all of Boston; and Cousins George L. and Henry H. Stafford. The family correspondence includes letters and invoices relating to the order and delivery from Rome of a marble bust of Stephen, to be placed in the family plot in Forest Hills Cemetery. Also included are papers in the estate of Stephen and his wife (d. 1873); the last will and testament of Charles (1886); and records of church and other organizational affiliations of Stephen.
Stephen Smith (1805–1875) Collection ca. 1800–1900; 1920–1985; and n.d., gift of: Steven Bartlett, 1986, 4 boxes, 2 cartons. Prepared by Charlotte Price.

Shiretoko Traverse
The classic traverse is a two-day hike that stretches for 25km from Iwaobetsu Onsen (岩尾別温泉) to Kamuiwakka-yu-no-taki (カムイワッカ湯の滝). You'll need to be properly equipped to tackle this route. You'll climb Rausu-dake (羅臼岳; 1661m), traverse along the tops to Iō-zan (硫黄山; 1563m), then descend to Kamuiwakka-no-taki, a ' waterfall onsen'.

- Blessed is the season
which engages the entire world
in a conspiracy of love.
- I wish we could put up some of the Christmas
courage in jars & open a jar of it every month

No doubt about it, the 2 day trek from Kalaw to Inle Lake was definitely a highlight of my stay in Myanmar. I recommend it highly and, if he is available, try and get Harri SIngh as your guide. He can be found through the Golden Lily Guesthouse there. However, there are many good "local" guides in Kalaw that can lead you and introduce you to all the diversity that trail has to offer. But, one thing you need to be aware of and that is to stay far away from the Ever Smile Trekking Believe it or not, I think that they are the worst human beings that I have ever come across in my entire life. They are not locals and direct 100% of their energies toward slandering the humble local family guides. They combat their own deficiencies by creating horrible lies about others in the business and as a result are despised by the community. This resentment can be felt all along the trail as villages, farmers, and other guides turn a cold shoulder as Ever Smile groups walk by. Adversely, if you are with a local family guide, that wonderful countryside and its effervescent people welcome you as only Myanmar can.
So, put Kalaw on your itinerary, and enjoy your trip, and if there is anything that I might be able to help you with as you prepare to go please do not hesitate to ask. I love traveling in Myanmar more than anything else in life.So you should never book the trekking with the Ever Smile Trekking agency.

Mariners beat A's 7-3 to spoil Oakland's home opener Friday night
Jason Vargas put up his second straight strong outing for the Mariners, and this time his offense helped out, as Seattle topped the A's 7-3 on Friday's "Re-Opening Night" for two teams that faced off a week earlier in Tokyo.
Vargas gave up just two runs -- on a massive 462-foot home run by new A's center fielder Yoenis Cespedes -- in a five-hit outing over 5 1/3 innings to pick up his first victory in five starts at Oakland Coliseum.
The 29-year-old southpaw had held the A's to one run on two hits over 6 1/3 innings in Seattle's previous regular-season game on March 29 in the Tokyo Dome. But the bullpen couldn't hold on, and he wound up with a no-decision in a 4-1 loss.
But after totaling just 12 hits and four runs in 20 innings in that two-game split in Japan, the Mariners jumped on the A's for 13 hits and seven runs on Friday, as they improved to 2-1 against their American League West rivals.
Chone Figgins and Dustin Ackley ignited the offense from the top of the order. Figgins went 3-for-4 with two RBIs and a run scored, while Ackley went 3-for-5 with one run.
The Mariners crossed the plate four times in the third inning against Brandon McCarthy, equaling their scoring total from the entire Tokyo trip, with Kyle Seager's two-run single the big blow.
Three of the runs were unearned, after Brendan Ryan doubled leading off the inning, then scored when Figgins laid down a sacrifice bunt and was hit in the back by an errant throw by A's third baseman Josh Donaldson.
The Mariners loaded the bases on a single by Ackley and a walk to Ichiro Suzuki, setting up Jesus Montero's first RBI as a Mariner on a sacrifice fly. Seager's single to right then made it 4-0.
Michael Saunders doubled to lead off the fourth and scored on a single up the middle by Figgins for a 5-0 lead.
McCarthy, who breezed through seven innings on one run with 82 pitches in the opener, needed 95 pitches to get through five on Friday and left trailing, 5-2. Seattle then put up two more on reliever Jordan Norberto in the sixth, as Figgins pushed one across with a safety squeeze and Ichiro followed with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly.
Vargas kept the A's off balance and off the scoreboard until Cespedes, the Cuban defector, torched a 2-1 pitch off the suites high above the center-field fence in the fourth inning for his second home run in three games against the Mariners.
Vargas nearly cost himself in the sixth, when he threw a potential double-play grounder into center field. But Steve Delabar came on with two on and one out and blew a 95-mph fastball past Cespedes and got Kurt Suzuki on a groundout. Delabar wound up going 1 2/3 perfect innings, turning the game over to setup man Tom Wilhelmsen.
Wilhelmsen yielded one run in the eighth and had two runners on, but struck out Cespedes and Suzuki to escape that jam.

While there's a lot of talk about beefing up border security and strengthening immigration laws, even that wouldn't be enough to stop an alleged scam making its way around Houston. Some area women are finding themselves at the center of federal fraud investigations after marrying men seeking citizenship. "On October 30, 2013 I went to the civil courthouse and got married," but Kathleen Moore says she and her husband Mogbolahan Ojeyinka are only married on paper. "We've never lived together. We've never dated. We never consummated the marriage, none of that," explains Moore.
In fact, Moore recently filed a complaint with United States immigration officials claiming Ojeyinka, who's from Nigeria, only married her to gain U-S citizenship. "I was promised $10,000. You get half up front. You get half after he gets his citizenship," Moore explains. She believes she was targeted by a marriage fraud ring and she may be right. "We know there is a problem out there. We've seen this problem pretty serious with West Africans, not just Nigeria, Tanzania, Kenya. We have a case pending in Judge Melinda Harmon's court. Five defendants, Kenyans charged in a marriage fraud case. It begins to mushroom. When they find some success then they find relatives and friends who also want to come in," says Deputy Criminal Chief with the U.S. Attorney's Office Edward Gallagher. Gallagher says the U.S. Department of Justice is finding these African men seeking citizenship are targeting women with drug habits or single mothers who have fallen on tough financial times. "Economic dire straits, just needs the money. Will do anything for the money," says Gallagher.
"They seek out women that are vulnerable, on financial assistance, are single parents," says Moore who says she was approached by someone at a social services office. Moore and her 11-year-old daughter have been homeless for nearly a year. "He said I could really set it up to where you don't have anything to worry about". Moore says she met her now husband and was hesitant to take part in the scam but then she says he started with "the sweet talk" saying she had actually caught his eye some time ago. "He had been watching me for two years and there was something about me he just liked," says Moore. So she married him. She says Ojeyinka works as a mechanical engineer and his work visa was scheduled to expire in the summer of 2013.
So how much of that $10,000 has Moore received? "Haven't received a dime". Moore says her husband is now threatening her if she doesn't stop contacting him asking for the money. "He's telling me you can't expose this because you're going to jail. I don't have to pay you. I'm not paying you a dime. I just want to warn women. It's not worth it. Please stay away from scams like this. Stay away from it. The only thing that happens is you become embarrassed and humiliated," says Moore.
Moore's husband, Mr. Ojeyinka, has not been charged with marriage fraud or anything else at this point. Marriage fraud is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison. Brokers using citizenship fraud as a business can get up to ten years for unlawful immigration practices. This type of fraud keeps federal investigators busy. "We are looking at organizations. We're looking at large numbers. We're looking at schemes. We are also looking at law firms," explains Gallagher.
The women or targets often receive a much less severe punishment. Some are even treated as witnesses. Victims can also come from the other extreme. One woman recently learned of this immigration marriage fraud the hard way. She's now in the process of losing her home in an exclusive Houston neighborhood after she says she quickly married a man from Nigeria because she thought it was love at first sight. She says he disappeared after securing his citizenship and he took most of her money with him. If you or someone you know find yourself in this situation contact Homeland Security Investigations at (281) 985-0500 to report accusations of immigration marriage fraud.

Analysis: Unfair trade
With the current trading regime, poor countries have limited opportunity to use trade to achieve development. Most have liberalised rapidly and broadly according to recommendations and demands by the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and the international finance institutions. This gives very few opportunities to protect domestic markets, and poor countries usually have no chance of subsidising production in the same way as rich countries do.
Local and national producers in poor countries are often out-competed by producers in rich countries, even in their own countries, and they still experience limited access to markets for several of the products they wish to export, for example textiles.
Current trade rules make it very difficult for a country to build up production to a point where it is competitive in a global market. This results in inequitable exchange conditions in global trade, and trade not leading to development, but rather reinforceing existing differences.
International trade can contribute to development, provided the developing country is given the political space to chose for itself if, how much and when it wishes to open its markets. Studies reveal that it is those countries that already have reasonably extensive and fairly advanced production that have the most to gain from liberalisation of trade, while the poorest countries will often lose out. This is indicated amongst other places in Making Global Trade Work for People (UNDP: 2003), a report that confirms that economic growth has to come first, before liberalisation will be of any use. Poor countries that have rapidly reduced tariffs have often experienced their companies collapsing and jobs being lost. It is the most marginal production that is out-competed first and women are over represented in this sector. UNCTAD's report on the least developed countries in 2004 shows that the increase in number of people living in poverty in a ten-year period was much higher in open, liberalised economies that in countries which had a higher degree of protectionism. Even if liberalisation often reduced prices to the consumer, it is a bigger problem if it destroys the foundation for production and employment.
Current trade regimes have been shaped without considering what would have been best for the Earth's environment. The WTO agreement is not in harmony with the UN's environmental conventions, for example the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). In addition there are various trade agreements that prevent the transfer of environmental technology, by including strict patent-rights regimes that make technology transfer both expensive and delayed.
Negotiations on liberalisation of environmental services can work against their best intentions if it prevents poor countries building up their own systems, for example for purification of water or treatment of waste.
In the WTO negotiations the liberalisation of trade of food has been dealt with in the same way as other goods. This has resulted in a strain on food production in many countries, and not least led to producers in developing countries being out-competed by cheap imports from the global market. At the same time the WTO has not been able to stop the EU's and the US's use of direct or indirect export subsidies, something that leads to overproduction and dumping on the global market at prices far below the real production costs.
Trade policies are controlled today above all by the multi-lateral agreements reached by the WTO and bilateral trade deals. These agreements are the result of negotiations that are neither transparent nor democratic, and that reflect an uneven balance of power between the negotiating parties. The WTO has universal liberalisation as its goal, and when negotiations are dominated by the rich member states they do not take account of the developing countries' interests and viewpoints. Since 2001 negotiations on a new multi-lateral trade agreement have been ongoing, under the direction of the WTO – the so-called Doha round. The ruling powers want this to be finished as soon as possible during the course of the next four years. The finance crisis has created a certain momentum because many countries fear loss of market share as a result of protective measures and subsidies given to individual country's producers. But the finance crisis has also proven that liberalisation of the finance sector had gone too far, such that countries had lost many of the control mechanisms for their economies. This realisation will possibly give more room for a more nuanced approach to the liberalisation of the financial services in WTO's General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS).
If trade is to contribute to development a global regime is required that is fair, and in which all countries have equal power to influence the forming of the regulations. This implies that the WTO must change the way it negotiates and that new bi- and multilateral trade agreements must allow for a more differentiated system where poorer countries are allowed better conditions than rich ones, and where developing countries are allowed to decide for themselves how they shall regulate trade.
Rich countries such as Norway must therefore avoid demanding that poor countries should open their markets to our export products, but rather argue for and accept that developing countries need political negotiating space to be able to control how trade will contribute to their development. These would be the same conditions as Norway and other rich countries once had, and implemented. Rich countries must simultaneously increase access to their own markets for developing countries' products and through aid help them to improve production capacity such that trade becomes possible. ForUM will work to make Norwegian authorities understand the need for developing countries to be treated differently, the requirement to make space for this, and the necessity for negotiations on new trade agreements to be more transparent, including for civil society.

The idea that hey may not change things up is depressing if you ask me.
Druids shapeshift. It IS the distinguishing feature of this class, and as such should take a more prominent role in game play. But that's just my opinion and I stand apart from the VOCAL majority of the raiding community in this respect it seems.
I get that from a design standpoint it's not easy, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. And it would certainly be more fun and interesting than remaining in one form for the majority of a fight. Would it require more thought and finesse on the part of the player? Of course but that could only be a good thing.
As it stands Blizzard has never come out directly and stated that they want Druids to shapeshift more or less. They have just released alpha talent trees from a game that's still in design. Which is why a lot of this analysis seems too soon to tell. If there was more feedback on the subject from Blizz it would help.
I suspect that a lot of the criticism of a more dynamic shapeshifting model comes from a raiding standpoint that is, in my opinion, something that needs to be shelved. With the direction it seems Blizzard is going, it will be more difficult for theory crafters to say anything definite.
Hell in Cata there are entire specializations like Discipline that the community still hasn't come to a consensus on. I still run in to people that believe atonement and evangelism are out performed by other talent choices. Anyway we're seeing Blizzard move away from cookie cutter builds and rotations. Slowly but surely they will, hopefully, do away with a lot of this.
Spread sheets aren't fun. Making more choices is fun, much like shapeshifting.

Michigan lawmakers are considering legislation designed to allow the expansion of microbreweries and brew pubs in the state.A House committee will meet Tuesday in Lansing to discuss bills that would loosen restrictions on the growing craft beer industry.One bill would let microbreweries double their output to 60,000 barrels a year without having to worry about additional restrictions. Another bill would let smaller brew pubs own interests in three more brew pubs and produce up to 18,000 barrels a year instead of 5,000 barrels.A third bill would let large breweries sell beer for on-premises consumption at up to two locations instead of one.As of mid-June, Michigan had two active brewer licenses, 92 microbrewery licenses and 54 brewpub licenses.

By Taylor Barnhill - bio | email | Twitter
COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM) - In this week's "Be There" News Leader Nine found out how one family takes T.V. night to a whole new level by turning it into a teachable moment.
Many families are in the habit of grabbing their dinner, plopping down in front of the T.V. and just zoning out, but one family from Wesley Heights Elementary School uses television shows as lessons.
Carol Wakefield told News Leader Nine, "We watch "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" and we sit around in a little circle and we laugh, cut up and have a good time trying to figure out the answers together."
Her nephew Brenndon Holmes, a fifth grade student at Wesley Heights Elementary School, explained, "My uncle's right there, my aunt's right there, and I'm here and we just have a competition. We don't do points, but we have done it before."
Brenndon and his family work on expanding their knowledge with some friendly competition as they watch game shows, "I learn a lot of new stuff we haven't learned in school yet. We'll get to that stuff in school but I like to learn new stuff before I learn it in school."
"He's the type of child that loves a challenge. He strives to learn more from that type of thing. He likes social studies but science beats it a bit," added Wakefield.
Wakefield says they go against what most families do, and all watch the same shows as a family, "I believe it is educational for that reason in trying to guess the answers because it makes the kids, it motivates them."
And Wakefield says they also sneak in a lesson or two for Brenndon by, "Sitting down, having fun as a family and learning with him."

Demmianne Cook renews contract with Team STX for 2014 season

No. 17/17 #Seawolves vie for 100th win in program history at Iona Thursday
Stony Brook is 36-10 under Spallina
No. 18/19 #Seawolves home to face CCSU Thursday
Stony Brook has held five of its first six opponents to under 10 goals
No. 18/18 #Seawolves bounce back, rip Rutgers, 14-4
Yevoli stuffs the stat sheet, Caridi matches career-high 11 saves in decisive road win
Caridi, Rubino named to Tewaaraton watch list
Award annually honors the top player in women's lacrosse
An all-time Stony Brook women's lacrosse great, a two-time Div. II national champion and a member of the inaugural Team STX squad, Demmianne Cook returned to the Seawolves as a volunteer assistant coach in September 2013.
"Demmianne is someone who has played under me for four years and understands the way things are supposed to be done," women's lacrosse head coach Joe Spallina said. "She will be a great mentor to our student-athletes. We are excited to have her on board."
Cook played a major role in Stony Brook's meteoric rise to national prominence after joining the team for her junior and senior seasons. The Nesconset, N.Y., native not only poured in a school-record 158 career goals in only two years, she helped the Seawolves achieve their first top-10 national ranking in the IWLCA and deBeer Media Polls.
Cook led the nation in goal scoring by an 18-goal margin with an astounding, program mark of 90 in 2013, which shattered her own previous record of 68 and was good for sixth in NCAA Div. I history. Her efforts earned her the distinctions of being SB's first women's lacrosse Tewaaraton nominee and second IWLCA All-American.
A dynamic athlete, the two-year captain posted 96 draw controls in 2013, the most by a Seawolf in one season. She finished her career at SB third all-time in draw controls (157) and fifth in points (173) but only after guiding Stony Brook to its first NCAA Tournament appearance and win. Cook also set the Stony Brook standard for single-game goals (9 vs. Monmouth, 2/26/12) and the conference mark for goals in an America East Championship contest (7 vs. Vermont, 5/3/13).
As decorated as she was talented, she also nabbed first-team IWLCA All-Region status during both of her seasons and picked up WomensLAX.com and Synapse All-America honors in 2013, to name just a few of the many awards she received.
After competing in her final game as a Seawolf, Cook played alongside teammate Janine Hillier in the North-South Senior All-Star game, where she registered two goals and one assist. She then joined Team STX, the nation's first elite post-collegiate women's lacrosse team.
Prior to her career at Stony Brook, Cook helped Adelphi win two Div. II national titles in 2010 and 2011, running the table with a perfect record of 20-0 during the latter. She was twice named IWLCA Midfielder of the Year, first-team IWLCA All-America, first-team IWLCA All-Region and first-team All-NE-10. The Smithtown East High School alumna also garnered Rookie of the Year honors from both the NE-10 and ECAC during her freshman campaign.

Is There Still a Need for Feminism in Modern Society?
I have read many blogs on the subject and have attempted to have conversations with my friends/family about the topic but some people have a warped image of feminism and some believe that it is irrelevant.
Yet 'slut shaming' is practically expected, the word 'girl' a common derogatory adjective. My friends and I are sexually harassed in the street and upon saying how I'd much rather a promising career and inner city flat to having children I am often met with confused looks; when expressing my desire for a PhD the phrase "that'll take up some prime baby-making years" has come up multiple times. My friends and I are scared to venture out into the streets at night for fear of being attacked. Then in this world of rape culture not being taken seriously or being insulted during the process. Misogyny is everywhere, from ignorant remarks to social expectations.
The website rookiemag.com has some brilliant articles, written first hand by young girls and some guys on feminism, I have tagged a talk given by a regular writer for the website. Also the blog whoneedsfeminism.tumblr.com had points from both genders.
I can understand where the opposing side is coming from. In Western society many restrictions set in place for women are demolished, I just want to know your thoughts on the subject.

Vol. 6, No. 6 January 15, 2009
Nevada's Online State News Journal-- Serving Informed Nevadans Since 2003
New Prison Planned
For Storey County
Same Company That Is
Building Pahrump Facility
The Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) is asking for a zoning change and a special use permit to build a prison facility in northern Storey County in the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center. CCA is the same company that once had a contract for a women's prison in southern Nevada and is currently building a prison for federal inmates in Pahrump. According to CCA representatives, they do not have a contract with any political subdivision, local, state, or federal, for inmates for the Storey County prison. The state prison system says it has no plans to contract with the company at this time.
The Tahoe Reno Industrial Center is reportedly the largest industrial park in the world with some very large companies doing business out of the desert location, among them Wal-Mart and Pet Smart. The park is located about 12 miles east of Sparks and is near the Tracy Clark Sub-station operated by NV Energy. Most of the industrial park was once known as the 102 Ranch, and many of the wild horses that roam about the area are just a few generations from being ranch horses.
Since the industrial park began operation, Storey County now has a fire department sub station along with a sheriff's sub station in the park. Many of the businesses operating in the industrial park have been complaining recently about poor communications, with telephone and fax lines not operating properly, and apparently no 911 service available. The Storey County Fire Department has a rescue vehicle available on scene but has not distributed placards or notices to the various businesses on how to call for emergency services.
Members of the Storey County Commission will hear the petition for zone change and special use permit, and there have been indications of a favorable attitude toward the project. Without a contract for prisoners, CCA is not able to say exactly what type of facility they are planning. There are big differences of course between medium security and high security prisons. The facility would be located in a canyon area well away from any existing businesses. The industrial park businesses are mostly distribution facilities and light manufacturing.
Located right alongside Interstate 80 and with rail service connected to Union Pacific's main east-west line, the industrial park has drawn some big players. Hundreds of Wal-Mart trucks can be seen exiting USA Parkway onto Interstate 80 daily. Reno Tahoe International Airport is just 15 miles to the west offering air transport world wide. The industrial park is about 100,000 acres in size.
Those that work at the industrial center either live in the Fernley area or in the Reno Sparks area. There is no residential area closer than those, and currently there is no public transportation from Fernley or Reno. Storey County officials have said they will base their decision on the prison facility on safety factors and economic factors.

As I was driving to Frankfort one Sunday afternoon, May 17, I saw two groups of dedicated people picking up trash on the side of the road.
I would like to say a huge thank-you to those people for caring enough to take the time to help make our country a better place for everyone. I'm sure that they were not the ones who put the trash there, but yet they took the time to clean it up.
A cozy atmosphere and friendly faces bring customers to the recently expanded M&T Country Collectibles.

The business now specializes in country and primitive home décor and folk art, as well as many miscellaneous items such as Candleberry candles.
The Owen County Emergency Management team reminds residents of possible flooding.
Floods are one of the most common hazards in the United States. Flood effects can be local, impacting a neighborhood or community, or very large, affecting entire river basins and multiple states. However, all floods are not alike.
Owen County High School Track and Field Coach Jerry Doolin talked all season about what a good group of kids he had on the track team. He spoke about their hard work and dedication and on Saturday in Louisville both of those qualities paid off.
Several members of the Owen County track team headed to Louisville over the weekend to take part in the Kentucky State Track Meet.
The highest finish was turned in by Keith Arutoff, who finished third in the discus. His best throw of 136 feet 3 inches was good enough for a school record.
I think it is great that Mr. and Mrs. Runion have started this karate program here in our community. It does give the kids who don't want to play sports like football or baseball another thing to do.
But I don't think it was fair that they act like they are the only martial arts program in Owen County.
I have had several students of the Owen County Judo team come to me today and ask why the Runions act like the judo club doesn't exist.
The Elk Creek Vineyards Concert Series is back with returning artists as well as some new.
The concert series has been a part of Owen County culture since 2007. Acts like country music superstar Sarah Evans, blues artist Buddy Guy and the Kentucky Symphony Orchestra have preformed at Elk Creek's outdoor amphitheater.
The concert series kicked off Saturday night with A1A: The Official Jimmy Buffet Tribute Band. The band has performed at Elk Creek each season since the series began.
The Kentucky State Police are investigating a wreck that left a Sanders woman dead.
According to a statement from the Kentucky State Police, at about 6:37 p.m. Sunday, a 1999 Ford truck driven by Brian J. Ritchey II, 28, of Bluff City, Tenn., was eastbound on U.S. 42 and turned in front of a westbound vehicle driven by Lonna D. Kehrer of Sanders.
Kehrer was killed in the wreck
A passenger in the vehicle, Cindy Keith, 30, of Norwood, Ohio, received serious injuries and was transported to University of Cincinnati.
The Owen County basketball teams had success on the court this past season. Both won the district championships in the same season for the first time in school history. While players were performing well on the court, many were also doing well in the classroom.
Five member of the boys' team and eight Lady Rebels were named to the All-Academic First Team. In order to be selected, members must have a GPA of 3.75 or higher.
My book club was planning to read Barbara Kingsolver's new book "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" – the one about eating locally grown foods exclusively and only those in season – and so the discussion leader turns to me, and says, "And so Georgia, why don't you make Kingsolver's 'Month of May' recipe for Rhubarb Crisp on page 89 for our refreshments next month."
The Owen County track teams took part in the Region 5A Track Meet Saturday. The meet was held at Admiral Stadium in Danville. Both teams performed well and both will be sending members to the Class A State Meet next Saturday in Louisville.
As a team, the girls finished fourth overall. Danielle Hoop qualified for next week in both the 400-meter dash and the 800-meter run. Hoop won the 400-meter dash while Rachel Dauwe finished 10th. Hoop, a sophomore, also won the 800-meter run.

Sam X Reader - Nighttime CriesThe darkness soothed your tired eyes as you lay in bed, using your husband's arm as a pillow. The room was warm, as always, despite the blizzard outside, and the large down comforter swaddling the two of you was pleasantly warm as well. Just when you thought it was impossible to be more comfortable and felt yourself being pulled back into the land of jumping sheep, the silence in the room shattered violently.Grimacing, you pulled the comforter over your head in an attempt to hide from the noise.It didn't work.The piercing wail still reached your ears, despite your efforts, and you rubbed your forehead on your husband's arm to wake him up. "Sam?""Mmm?" It seemed that the baby's cry had barely managed to rouse the tired man from his slumber, which was odd considering that he was usually a light sleeper."She's crying again..."He hummed affirmatively. You tried to glare at him, only to be met with the sweetest, half-opened, tired puppy eyes you had ever seen, "Do you want me to get h
Supernatural X Reader - Slip-ups and Slip-downs"Dean, are you sure we're doing the right thing?"He turned to you, "What are you talking about? Of course this is the right thing!""You heard Bobby," You continued, "What if what you brought back isn't really Sam?"The man's response was cut off by a cacophony of crashes and a surprised shout, "Woah!" Less than a second later, a pair of brown boots slid into your field of vision at the bottom of the stairs with one final thump. There was silence as Jensen squeezed his eyes shut, shaking with silent laughter.You weren't holding together much better."Jared?" You called, doing your best to contain your laughter, "Are you okay?"A thumbs up appeared from behind the wall that kept the stairs out of your field of vision, "I'm okay!"You couldn't contain your laughter at the classic reaction. "Did you just, like, fall down the stairs?!" The words came between peals of laughter."I slipped," Jared replied with a laugh of his own, "I think someone greased the stair
Steve X Reader - Fourth of July"Don't move."Steve felt the barrel of the gun against the back of his neck. "(Y/n)?"He heard her take a step to her right, she was now directly behind him. "Don't do this.""Sorry Steve," she pulled the trigger. He winced, jerking forward as the icy water ran down the back of his shirt. She stepped away from him as he swiveled to face her, noting her sly, albeit shaky smile as she backed away slowly. "All right, you asked for it!" He shouted, springing up from his chair and rushing towards her. She let out a squeak and fled, running as fast as she could. It wasn't fast enough however as his super soldier speed allowed him to catch her in a matter of strides. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to him. She kicked and flailed, but was no match for his super strength. "You're going to pay for that," he growled as he began to tickle her. She shrieked and protested between peals of laughter and he grinned at the sound. "Okay! Okay!
Steve X Reader - Remember the FallenThe warm sunlight shone in through the open window as the smell of coffee roused you from your deep slumber. You stretched with a yawn before dragging yourself out of bed and padding into the kitchen. The pleasant scent grew stronger as you paused in the doorway. Steve was seated at the counter, eyes glued to the television. This was strange considering that your husband wasn't usually very interested in what was on television, and when combined with the fact that the normally attentive blond hadn't registered your presence, worthy of concern. "Steve?" You slid into the seat next to him, watching his face for any indication that he'd heard you. "I should have been there," he stated, unmoving. Only then did you realize what he was watching. A glance at the screen confirmed your suspicion. The news channels were airing a tribute to the heroes and victims of the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. 9/11"Steve," reaching out, you took
Not Strong Enough"Hey! Rage Man! I need a favor!"Bruce sighed and set down the tool he had been working with, turning to face the intrusive billionaire. "What is it?"Tony set his pack of blueberries down on the counter and crossed his arms, leaning against it. "We need to do something about Steve and (y/n).""What did you have in mind?" Bruce questioned with an uncertain expression.Usually Tony's plans resulted in the duo being brought before Fury for a little "chat," wherein the one-eyed man had the opportunity to live up to his name.The billionaire retrieved his snack, rooting around in it for his next berry as he spoke, "You've seen the way they look at each other. And we both know the Capsicle hasn't gotten any since they thawed him out, so I figure we set them up." He punctuated the end of his sentence by popping one of the berries into his mouth with a shrug.Bruce remained skeptical, "I don't see why we need to do anything. They'll get there eventually on their own.""<em>
Kiss it Better (End)Kirk sighed, the last hour of haggling with the alien merchant beginning to throb in his temples. "We need it. There has to be something else we can trade you."The merchant shook her head, "It's the six plasma couplings, or the deal is off.""We don't have six plasma couplings!" Scotty chimed in. "Even if we did, we can't just hand them over. We'd be stranded!""How badly do you-?""Enough."The bridge crew paused and turned to McCoy as he stormed out of the turbolift. His eyes were hardened by anger as he crossed the bridge."Bones?"Ignoring his captain, the infuriated doctor reached the middle of the bridge and addressed the merchant. "Look," he began, his voice tone made even more menacing by the fact that he wasn't raising his voice. "There is a woman in Sickbay who is dying because of something she encounter
Kiss it Better (Part 3)McCoy surveyed his findings, puzzled. Pouring over the figures again and again, the doctor searched for an explanation for (Y/n)'s recent behavior.There had to be an answer. Yet no matter how many tests the increasingly irritated doctor ran, the results weren't yielding any clues as to your current condition or your change in demeanor. You had never acted like this around him, before. Your treatment of the Chief Medical Officer had never been anything less than professional, even more so than he cared for. He would have liked to see you relax a bit. Maybe even flash him that smile, that one that had his heart doing flip-flops when the happy gaze that accompanied it was sent his way. It seemed like it had been years since he'd seen it.Your trying time aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise had slowly wore down your sense of humor in the months you'd served, each difficult mission and close call drowning your optimism and cheer in regret, self-doubt, and old b
Kiss it Better (Part 2)Bright light invaded your vision, blinding even through your closed eyelids. You winced at the sting and forced your tired eyes open to take in your surroundings. It didn't take long to recognize that you were in the ship's medical Bay, not surprising, considering that your last memory was of passing out in McCoy's arms.The man who was now standing at the small table beside your bed, reaching for something."Wait, I need that."Without looking up at you, the man seized your communicator, "No you don't.""Well I will when I report back for duty," You reiterated with some annoyance."Which won't be any time soon," The doctor responded. "I need to keep you here until I figure out what's wrong with you.""You can't do that!" You protested, sitting up abruptly.Too abruptly.The same dizzy feeling came over you, and you found your vision pulsing and wavering uncontrollab
Kiss it Better (Part 4)As you collapsed, McCoy rushed to your side, grabbing a pillow off of one of the beds and kneeling beside you as you began to convulse. He slid it under your head and snagged his tricorder, taking some readings. "Damn it…" He muttered, keying the com."Jim, you'd better get down here."~~"Do you know what's wrong with her?" Kirk asked, observing the steady rise and fall of your chest from his position beside the bed.McCoy had managed to sedate you after the seizures started, but your condition was slowly worsening."Whatever she was exposed to on the surface of the planet is stimulating the Hypothalamus of her brain, causing it to produce massive amounts of hormones. She's going into shock. Dammit! Her body was never designed to handle hormones at these levels!""Have you contacted the Rynkarrins about this? Maybe they've seen it before.""What do you think was the first thing I tri
Reader X Sam - So Cold (Request)Sam X Reader for (MiaVilla) "Please, I'll do anything; just let them go." You say as you look over to at your younger siblings lying quietly on your bed. "Anything?" The man asks his black eyes shining in the moonlight as he stands beside your bed. Tears fill your eyes as you stand in the doorway in your white night gown and say, "I'll give you anything you want, just please leave my family alone." The man looks you up and down then smiles sinisterly as he says, "Too bad there's nothing you have that I want." You watch horrified as the man reaches out and snaps your little brother's neck while your little sister catches on fire screaming out for help. "No!" You scream out as you run toward them only to have your body thrown back out of our bedroom door, it slamming shut behind you. "Mikey! Sarah!" You scream out as you run back to the bedroom door and start banging on it tryin
On Bad Days (Sam x Reader)"Hey!" Sam said with a wave as you walked through the door. He was sitting at his laptop as usual."Hiya, Sammy," you said, frowning.You plodded across the seaside-themed motel room and flopped onto your bed."Bad day, huh?"You closed your eyes tightly and sighed heavily."Yeah," you huffed. You heard a shuffle of a chair being moved, and then footsteps edging closer.Strong arms wrapped around your waist and pulled you into a warm embrace. You nuzzled your head into Sam's shoulder, curling yourself into his lap."Think I can help?" He asked softly. He tilted your chin up and you smiled.Sam leaned down and placed his lips on yours. You kissed him back sweetly.When you broke apart, you let your head sink back down onto his chest."Sam?" You whispered into his shoulder."Mm-hmm?" he replied."Will you stay for a while?" You looked up to him. God, he had the cutest eyes."Of course."Sam pulled you closer and brought his hand up to the back of your head, running his finger
Drowning - Sam x ReaderYou and the boys were on a hunt and the only link you seemed to find was that everyone was drowning, which was baffling. You thought nothing of this when you decided to take a shower.The water was lovely and warm and you closed your eyes to wash your hair but you opened them when the drain started to bubble up, the water stopped flowing down the drain.You quickly turned to water off, but that didn't seem to matter. The water rose fast and defied all laws of physics. Naturally the water should just run out.You tried to open the door and when it wouldn't budge you screamed for Sam, attempting to break the glass.Sam burst through the door and his eyes widened at the water trying to drown you. It had risen to your chin now and you were panicking. Sam grabbed his gun and shot the glass, not before telling you to turn around.The glass smashed, cutting your back and Sam grabbed you out, wrapping you in a towel. Sam sank to the floor, with you in his lap.The two of you were b
Never Leaving You Sam x ReaderYou wake up, it's dark you reach over, expecting a warm body next to you. You find that odd, you are in the bed alone. "Sam. . .?" You whisper into the darkness. You wait a few seconds . . .one . . .two . . .threeNo reply.You get out of bed and head over to the bathroom, where you find the light on. You open the door to find Sam packing his bags."What are you doing? I thought we weren't going to leave until the morning."He looks at you with those puppy eyes, the ones that make your heart melt, the one that tells you not everything is okay."(y/n) I'm leaving." he says in a very serious tone.You gasp, not expecting this at all. Maybe out of someone else, (dean) but never Sam. "Why? Was it something I did? We can just talk about whatever is bothering you."He sighs, "It's not you (y/n). I love you, I would do anything for you and this life, being on the road, hunting things is not for you. I want you to be safe, live a life that'
Summer Lovin - SamxReader[OneShot]The lakeside was beautiful this time of year, the sun reflected off the water in a beautiful display of light as it slowly sank beneath the horizon.Sitting on the pier to watch this was one of your favorite ways to end a long summer day, it was far more peaceful than what you usually spent your time doing.If there was anything you were sure of, it was that all the monsters in the world would have to wait until after the sun had finished its glorious descent.After some time you heard footsteps on the old wooden pier behind you and you looked to see Sam walking toward you."Can I join you?" he asks curiously.You nod and move over so that he can sit beside you on the pier, your bare feet still dangling toward the water. "What's up? Did you boys find another hunt?"Sam shakes his head, "No… just the opposite, we've decided to take a few days off…""Really?" You ask confused.Sam looks out on the water,
Swimming Lessons - Sam x ReaderYou sat by the riverbank hitting the water as it crept onto the bank with your toes, tapping away and ignoring all your problems. It truly was peaceful."Mind if I sit here?" You looked up to see Sam looking down at you with his chocolatey green eyes.You smiled up at him and nodded before looking away from him and back to the beautiful view in front of you. A nice cool breeze past through the trees creating a gentle whistling sound. Birds were beginning to make their way back home, it wasn't too late luckily enough."It's lovely out here." You whispered, continuously tapping the water with your toes. The tide was coming in a little covering your foot sending a cooling sensation throughout your body."It is," Sam breathed. He turned to face you. "Want to go for a swim?"Heat rose to your cheeks and all you could was shake my head in reply, bringing your knees close to your chest and wrapping your arms around them. You were ashamed to admit the truth and it wasn't that you were afraid o
Don't be mad (Sam X Reader)"Sam!" you shout, your voice ringing around the old house,"Sammy!" you shout once again, and feel a strong hand pressing to your mouth from behind, shutting it."Shut up", Sam mutters quickly, "Unless you want to die, of course", he adds when he hears your muffled protests."If I let go now, you won't scream?"You shake your head as much as his grip would let you to."Are you sure – Ouch!" you bite his hand and he moves it away quickly, "What was that for?"Your slightly annoyed look answered his question."Don't ever make me shut up again like that, Winchester" you throw another threatening look at him, and watch him smile slightly at you, knowing you hated when he did that, "Really? What are you going to do about it?" he chuckles.You let out a high pitched, loud, scream."That" you catch your breath."We're going to die-" Sam gets thrown over the wall on the other side of the hallway before he can finish what he was saying, something not visible suffocating him. You swear and
Only Two (Sam Winchester x Reader)Sitting in a bar had become a normal thing for you when you traveled with the Winchesters. There was always a bar to go to on each mission and you always seemed to stop there at least once on the trip. Dean said it was to get information, but you and Sam knew it was because of the liquor and the ladies. It wasn't like you minded though, it was always fun to watch Dean get tipsy and flirt.With a sigh, you sipped at your water, keeping an eye on the boys. Sam was at the bar talking to the bartender and Dean was chatting up some chick in a cowboy hat. Your eyes wandered to the other patrons, men and women throwing darts or playing pool as the jukebox played on for background noise. Laughter could be heard all around you, but that didn't make you feel any more at ease.With slow steps, you walked toward the bar, making sure your sleeveless trench didn't snag on anything. You leaned against the bar, grabbing the bartender's attention. "Hey, can I get a rum and
Polaroids - Sam x ReaderYou stood by your bed side flicking through several polaroids that had been taken of you and the boys. You smiled at every memory, every funny face that had been pulled."Whatcha looking at?" Sam asked, dropping his bag at the bottom of the bed and walking over to you.You looked up at him with a small smile before flicking through the photos again."Just some old photos, you know the ones that Cas took ever since he discovered how to work a polaroid camera." You pushed a strand of hair behind your ear.Even though Castiel didn't know how to work the camera, you had to admit, he was a good photographer. At least three of the photos were posed, the rest were taken at random.The last one you had was one with you and all three of the boys. You were sitting on the hood on the Impala, your legs cross with a smile on your face that if it became any larger your face would tear in two. Sam's arm was draped around your shoulders as he leaned against the hood with a sense of pride washing his f
Sam X Reader - Berry Good DistractionYou sighed, pausing in the midst of your mixing as your timer dinged. Setting down the glass bowl, you crossed to the oven and opened the door. The warm breeze ruffled your hair and brought a smile to your face as you retrieved a pumpkin pie from the superheated rack.Crossing to the fridge, you gingerly deposited your load inside, taking a moment to savor the smell before shutting the door. You were halfway between the fridge and your mixing bowl when the sound of your doorbell caused you to change direction.As your socked feet padded across the carpet, you pondered who would be making this impromptu visit, though you already had a suspect in mind.Sam Winchester. You couldn't help but smile at the thought of the tall brunette. You and Sam had been seeing each other for a couple months now, and in that time, he had stopped by unexpectedly. It was difficult to maintain a relationship with his job, but knowing that either of you could die on any given day wa

In order to sell our sunglasses, reading glasses, and accessories at extremely low rates, we only sell to wholesalers, distributors, importers, and retailers. This means that we cannot accommodate orders of under $200. We offer various payment methods if you need to arrange a custom solution to place your order.
We ship via UPS and orders generally go out within 24-48 hours. Please visit our "ordering online" page for more information on shipping.
Because suggested retail pricing can range dramatically based on the glasses, and due to the fact that we sell to other importers, wholesalers and distributors, we do not publish any sort of guide for retail pricing. We do have a variety of products that come with pre-priced tags, which is perfect if you're concerned about the amount of work that you'll have to invest into getting our products onto your shelves!
Our quality is excellent and we have implemented a system of multiple quality control inspections to ensure that the final product meets all of our expectations and requirements. Quality does vary based on the product, however, as different styles are made of different materials, have different mechanisms, and different manufacturers. We bring in products of all price points to accommodate all of our customers.
Yes! We can do anything from having your company's name embossed on the frames to creating an entirely new sunglass or reading glass model to custom specifications. Please call us at 877-405-3937 to discuss the project you have in mind. We also have our own in-house artist to create or assist with special designs and creations.
Absolutely! Our sunglasses and reading glasses are 100% legal to sell. We are the registered trademark holder of our own name brands that we carry, including G Sport, RxR, D'amor, Kature, and Ride With Pride.

None of our products infringe on any existing copyrights or trademarks.

Interested in the selection of London timeshares available on SellMyTimeshareNOW.com?
London. The city of Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and the London Tower; the home of Shakespeare, Sir Winston Churchill and J.K. Rowling. The largest city in Western Europe and the capital of both England and the United Kingdom. An international hub of art, culture and, of course, tourism.
The question is not why would you want to holiday in London, it's why wouldn't you?
A visit to London can seem overwhelming as there is simply so much to see and do in this wildly diverse city. Many vacationers feel the need to return multiple times in order to truly immerse themselves in London's unique cultural vibe. If you're interested in visiting this international city on a regular basis, a London timeshare resale may be your most cost-effective option.
These vacation properties allow owners to lock in their accommodation rate, so that as prices fluctuate and increase to cater to London's ever-growing hospitality market, timeshare owners can confidently budget for their holiday. And, when purchased as a resale property from a previous owner through a reputable third-party timeshare reseller like us, luxurious London timeshares are available at substantial discounts.
Browse our inventory of London timeshares for sale today!
Not in the market to buy? You can also rent London timeshares for less than you'd pay for many hotel rooms!
Because of London's size and diversity, there are literally thousands of activities and opportunities for adventure and exploration. The money saved on your London timeshare resale or rental can most certainly be put to use exploring this vast and sundry city. To describe even a quarter of the things to do and places to see would be quite a task in and of itself, but there are a few things no visitor to London should miss.
Take time out to view the famous Rosetta Stone at the British Museum, or visit Britain's National Museum of Modern Art at the Tate Modern. Take the kids to see the permanent dinosaur exhibition at the National History Museum. Or take a trip up The London Eye, the world's highest observation wheel, which offers views of more than 55 of London's most celebrated landmarks.
London timeshares come in all shapes and sizes, and Sell My Timeshare NOW boasts a constantly changing inventory of wonderful London rental and resale properties. You'll find quaint bed-and-breakfast style lodgings alongside five-star world-class resorts. One luxury resort of particular note is the Marriott Grand Residence Club at 47 Park Street (pictured to the left), which is centrally located in one of London's most prestigious districts. Another popular London timeshare resort is Carlton Court which offers both a townhouse and timeshare suites to interested owners.
Even vacationers who aren't ready or able to commit to a vacation property can save hundreds on their single-trip with a London timeshare rental from Sell My Timeshare NOW. For-rent-by-owner timeshares tend to be less expensive than other holiday accommodation, because owners are generally just trying to cover their maintenance fees for an unused vacation week. When working with the right reseller, you can find timeshare rentals for hundreds, even thousands, less than you might pay for a hotel room of similar or lesser quality.
Whether you're looking for that perfect London timeshare for sale, or you'd like to find a London timeshare for rent, Sell My Timeshare NOW has what you're looking for. Begin your search today by perusing our vast inventory of advertisements for available London timeshares!

Dec 4th, 2012
USHIO announces at Semicon Japan 2012 that it will start shipping new large-field interposer stepper model UX7-3Di LIS 350 in March 2013
Achieving significant reduction of interposer manufacturing cost with large substrate and high throughput.
USHIO INC., (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; President and Chief Executive Officer: Shiro Sugata, http://www.ushio.co.jp), today announced that the company will start shipping the large interposer stepper "UX7-3Di LIS 350" dedicated to the manufacturing of large-field interposers for 2.5D advanced packaging applications in March 2013.
Based on the large-field stepper system "UX7-3Di LFS 300" for 2.5D/3D packaging released this fall, the UX7-3Di LIS 350 is able to process 405 mm x 350 mm interposer substrates as well as 300-mm silicon wafers. Also, it allows processing of interposers made of materials other than silicon, including glass, which has currently become popular, and organic materials. Furthermore, by mounting a large-diameter projection lens that allows projection of a large field of 78 mm x 66 mm, the UX-3Di LIS 350 can achieve incomparable throughput of 120 wafers per hour (for 300-mm wafers at 100 mJ/cm2).
As the result, the UX-3Di LIS 350 offers significant flexibility in designing interposers for 2.5D packaging applications, while allowing the manufacturing of large interposers as well as a significant reduction of manufacturing cost.
This product will be exhibited through a panel display and introduced by stage presentation at USHIO booth No. 4C-704 (Hall 4) of SEMICON Japan 2012, to be held on December 5 through 7 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan. Also, during SEMICON Japan 2012 USHIO plans to hold a release presentation and an exhibitor seminar at 11:00–11:20 on December 6 and at 12:30–13:20 on December 6 and 13:30–14:20 on December 7.

Rated 5 out of 5�by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5�by BassCatchingAllDay24/7 This Reel is Crazy! When I use the Van Staal VS Spinning Reel it catch monster bass,sand sharks,even Sting Rays without a problem. When I barelly turn the reel the fish comes to me from about 20-30 feet in like 5 or 6 rotations its crazy. But I understand that it is very pricey but I really recommend everyone to use it. Its great for everything. May 9, 2012

We have been talking about the next generation SAAB 9-5 for a while now and the Swedish automaker has finally released a few official images of the new car. So that can mean only one thing, the 9-5's official debut should take place any day now. The new SAAB 9-5 will be offered with a choice of four or six cylinder power plants that are E85 BioPower capable as well as an alternatively fueled four cylinder diesel engine. The future 9-5 will be built upon the same Epsilon 2 as its European GM cousin, the Opel Insignia, except the Saab will feature the longer wheelbase version.
Stay tuned for more!

Turns out the Johnny Depp trailer for "Transcendence" the other day was just another of those viral teasers. The proper teaser trailer, complete with actual footage from the Wally Pfister-directed sci-fi epic starring Depp, Morgan Freeman and Rebecca Hall.
After that comes a second trailer for David Ayer's loose action ensemble take on the Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" formula. This time it's an elite special forces squad, is being picked off one by one by one of their own. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sam Worthington, Olivia Williams, Terrence Howard, Joe Manganiello, Josh Holloway and Mireille Enos star.
