Newcastle Foundation Hen Weekend Package
Prices are based on low season rates.
The Foundation Hen weekend was conceived on the idea that girls don't always want a packed itinerary for their hen weekends; sometimes it's good to let the good times roll and spend some quality time. With your nights filled up, you and the girls are free to spend the day catching up, recovering from the night before or maybe getting a head start on finding the best bars down on the Quayside. You've also got plenty free time to do some shopping for Saturday night's outfit in famous Metro Centre, or check out the numerous high street stores in the centre of town. Newcastle hen weekend ideas don't come any stronger.
2 nights of luxury, central accommodation provides your base in this party capital of the UK, an ideal location to get glam before heading out to the city's awesome nightlife. There, you can crank the tunes up and trade beauty secrets and get a few photos with some pre-drinks to get the party started. Also included in this great value package is VIP club entry on both nights, as well as bar entry with exclusive drink offers and even free entry to a casino for a cheeky punt to win back your cocktail dollars.

After a 17-year hiatus, swarms of cicadas, called "Brood II," will return to the Eastern Seaboard this summer, bringing a sure-fire disturbance to your peaceful day and an immense boon to the ecosystem.
They're coming.
Residents of the Eastern Seaboard can expect swarms of buzzing cicadas this spring and summer after the bugs spent the last 17 years maturing and festering underground, entomologists predicted.
It will be the first cicada "brood" to hit the East Coast since 1996, when the last "Brood II" cicadas give birth to the bugs that will drive American eardrums bananas this year.
Cicadas to bring booming voices back after 17-year absense
Typically, the harmless black bugs stay underground anywhere from 13 to 17 years in order to throw off their predators. There they mature, dispatch their shells and burrow out when the time is right, usually when the thermostat reaches 64 degrees Fahrenheit, according to Cicadamania.com. Their end goal is to take flight and look for mates.
While it's unknown when and where the cicada flocks of Brood II will hit, experts think the Carolinas could see them in late April or early May, followed by Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and New York around June, according to NBC News.
So Big Apple residents beware: The irritating flyers like the countryside and wooded areas, so that means they could seek refuge in Central Park — which would make a June picnic a bit more interesting in Manhattan.
When cicadas mate, they like to let the world know — or so it seems. Male cicadas "sing" to attract females and emit what can come out to be a 120-decibel click-like sound. When performed in unison by hundreds of thousands of the insects, the song can travel for miles.
Former Plymouth Colony Gov. William Bradford, a signer of the Mayflower Compact, remarked in the 1630s that cicadas "made such a constant yelling noise as made all the woods ring of them, and ready to deaf the hearers," according to NPR.
And according to CBS New York, they go to sleep at night, just like humans.
Once the cicadas mate, the females place eggs on trees, which hatch six to eight weeks later and head underground for another 13- to 17-year period. The older cicadas die soon after, leaving behind a feeding frenzy for birds and other animals.
Cicada swarms are typically huge boons to ecosystems, both in life and in death. There are so many that a 98 percent mortality rate for nymphs doesn't affect the species, according to The Washington Post.
"It creates a monstrous pulse of energy into the ecosystem they emerge from," Sam Droege, a scientist at the U.S. Geological Survey Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, told the Post.
Cicadas aren't locusts and won't ruin your crops or the surrounding ecosystem. If you can block out their clicking noises, the innocuous bugs shouldn't do too much harm to your pleasant summer.

How To Find Lost Items Using Psychic Abilities
Some of the most common emails I get are from those who have lost an item that's important to them and they want my help in locating it. It is possible to find lost items (or even lost people for that matter) using psychic abilities, but there are no guarantees. First of all, not all… Read On

The Phenomenon that is Instagram
I admit it: I'm hooked into a few social networks these days and even bought into the whole Klout thing that measures my influence on these networks (and quickly bought out of it when I realised how obsessive I was about my Klout score falling) and to say that I'm totally hooked is a bit like saying that heroin is a nice "once in a while jaunt in the park". I'm nothing short of unabashedly addicted.
However the one that has captured me the most is Instagram. With its immediate snapshot update way of sharing the world, it has truly amassed a membership that MySpace only ever dreamed of. And at the same time, has captured the imagination of many users - I'd rather see a photo than a mundane Facebook status update of "I got up and bought a coke." Let's face it, no one fucking cares about that.
So while holidaying in Sweden a few weeks ago, I took some photos of a rather amazing hotel where we stayed (it is truly remarkable, check out www.treehotel.se), and while I have very (if not extremely) modest following on Instagram, I managed to get 10 likes on a photo I posted. Yes, I hash tagged, but I generally do that to well, remind myself of the photo's context.
So imagine my surprise today when my iPhone started vibrating like a lonely person's vibrator with Instagram notifications. I started getting about 5 likes per second on a photo that I posted five weeks ago. And this, I kid you not, has been going for the last hour or so. Yes, that's right, about 300 likes in an hour. And it's still going.
So I decided to head on in and see what on earth was causing this. And imagine to my surprise: it looked like the Instagram application had posted a photo of the hotel, and soon everyone was searching for photos of this place. And recommending it to other users and so on. While 100+ likes on a photo does not a viral champagne make, to me, it's like the world had descended on my photos and had given me two enthusiastic thumbs up. And still are.
So while I hear about these social networks being rubbished all the time and how Facebook's investment in Instagram was a bit of a rubbish investment, it's definitely allowed me to share some marvellous memories and dare I say it, some fucking awesome photos. After all if 200+ Instagrammers believe it, why shouldn't I?
PS: if you want to see said photos: I'm user JTCF1981. Nothing like a bit of shameless self promotion on my blog.

It's certainly true that there are certain buildings that almost always have clear space around them. Churches are the obvious case. Markets are anothe good example. Then municipal buildings come in. Other than that I am certainly struggling to think of any reason for there to be clear space between buildings. I guess the issue of keeping everyone inside the city walls forces buildings to crowd up too.
Good thing I asked here before embarking upon a large settlement!

I just added a new article to my site. There is a lot going on in the area of SOA patterns but not everything that shines is gold. It thought it's time I'd share my thoughts on the intersection between patterns and SOA.
Design Patterns have enjoyed enormous popularity in the software community and have become somewhat of a fad. This can make it challenging to distinguish patterns that convey new knowledge from recipes or tutorials that have been cast into patterns form. This article examines the role patterns play in the adoption of new technologies and architectural styles. In particular it describes why the shift to service-oriented architectures requires us to discover, document, and share new patterns.
Read the full article.

His mission is to make integration and distributed system development easier by harvesting common patterns and best practices from many different technologies.

Part of the fun of vintage clothes shopping is finding that diamond in the rough. But sometimes there's a lot of "rough" to dig through. Fortunately, Shelby Lawson of Nouveau Vieux is happy to help.
"I wanted to do vintage clothing that was more like high-end, second-hand shopping, where you don't have to worry about filtering through a bunch of crappy stuff that's in a lot of thrift stores. Plenty of my friends like vintage clothes but they don't like having to dig through a bunch of old stained T-shirts to find something cute," Lawson said. "But I love doing it. So I just thought it was something I could do for the neighborhood I live in."
The new shop is part of the steadily filling Loom mini-mall. It is small compared to most sprawling thrift stores, but the rich yellow walls and thoughtful displays make it feel downright cozy. At the opening, Lawson wore a dress that her mom wore in the seventies and proudly pointed to a picture on the wall of her wearing it.
"My mom was always dragging me around to thrift stores since I was tiny and now it's like my favorite thing to do." She has also gained experience working in thrift stores in her home state of Minnesota, as well as in Bushwick.
So what does she see in an article of clothing that makes it boutique-worthy? "I definitely try to follow current fashion trends, because a lot of things are kind of throwbacks, styled a little differently. I look for name brands, and quality, CLEAN clothes are really important," Lawson said.
"Oh, and I really try to stay away from gross polyesters that nobody wants to touch, let alone wear."

Colorado City, TX (KCBD) - KTXS News in Abilene obtained documents that reveal new information about Hailey's mother Billie Dunn and her former boyfriend, Shawn Adkins.
Through the freedom of information act - KTXS got copies of affidavits containing facts discovered by law enforcement and statements made by Billie Dunn, Shawn Adkins, and others. According to the affidavits Adkins threatened the lives of both Hailey and Billie Dunn in February of last year.
Authorities found a box at Adkins and Dunn's home containing documents about serial killers, motives for murder, including killing family members. Some of the documents were fictional. Also, Dunn and Adkins hosted a New Year's Eve party at their home just three days after Billie Dunn reported Hailey missing.
After Hailey's mom volunteered to take a lie detector test the affidavit states that Dunn showed up under the influence of narcotics. On her second attempt, the documents show investigators found her to be deceptive. When Shawn Adkins took the polygraph test, officials said he failed especially concerning Hailey's whereabouts.

Hello there fellow Tumblr friends.
As a recovered porn addict having been sober for a while now by the grace of God, I'd love to set up a "workshop" where I can answer your questions and share how to recover.
I pray over the weeks that you'll gain confidence in freedom from the slavery of sexual addiction. This is no longer a problem in church, but the problem. No one talks about it. But we need to talk about it.
I went on a research binge when I first became serious about recovery so I will be sharing some of the stats and facts here. Please know that I can't answer every question but will try my best to address them all.
Love you all, Planet Tumblr!

Is Facebook becoming less about moments and more about milestones? Great stuff from mtvinsights
By Jen Michalski
Ten years ago a 20-year-old Mark Zuckerberg had just launched his new networking site, thefacebook, for his Harvard classmates. By the end of 2004, it had 1 million users, an office in Palo Alto and Zuckerberg was on his way to becoming a Millennial icon for starry-eyed wannabe…
Behavior change is at the heart of what Draftfcb delivers to its clients and their customers, and it is what motivates us every day. As part of our mission, Draftfcb Chicago recently hosted Nir Eyal's "Hooked" workshop, an event focusing on how to design compelling products and experiences to "hook" users, drive frequent engagement, and result in a behavior change that becomes a new, long-term habit.
Nir is a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, Techcrunch contributor, and product designer. His Hooked model can be broken down into four steps: close triggers, simple actions, surprising rewards and deeper investment. Its blend of technology and behavioral psychology, in a particular sequence, has driven the success of many startup businesses.
For example, take LinkedIn. Close triggers are about combining a compelling consumer need with the media that brings the user as close to the product as possible. LinkedIn leveraged our need to find out about someone and the medium of SEO. That combination led most people to encounter LinkedIn as a Google search result — and use the service before ever hearing a word about LinkedIn.
The next step, a simple action, is harder than it appears. Trying something new is risky. Most marketers attempt to overcome hesitation by trying to make the service more motivating; but behavioral economists have long known that the best way to make an action more motivating is to make it simpler. For LinkedIn, that simpler action was asking you to sign up for an account to unlock the full view of the user's profile.
Surprising rewards are what happen next, and here the "surprising" element is critical. Yes, marketers must deliver on what they promise, but surprising rewards are three times more motivating than predictable rewards. What was surprising about setting up a LinkedIn profile? Seeing other people checking out your profile, an ongoing reward that was delivered to you through your email, driving you to return to the site.
Finally, marketers having delivered a surprising reward are well placed to get users to do some work themselves, to share some personal or social capital that creates more frequent triggers, and motivate more complex actions or more motivating rewards. Our willingness to share information with others is far higher after they have done something for us, especially if their action was unanticipated. For LinkedIn, the bit of work was asking you to import your contacts, so that they could connect you with others, creating more frequent triggers, more complex actions (completing your profile, step by step) and more surprising rewards (who saw your profile today?).
For marketers trying to drive long-term behavior change, the Hooked model shows the power of the right sequence of behavioral and psychological steps to shift services, like LinkedIn, from something nice to have, to something we feel compelled to check out multiple times a day.
Immortal Fans: There's no Cannes Lion for #behavioraleconomics but first up I might suggest Ogilvy Brazil's "Immortal Fan" promotion.
Sometimes behavioral economics and marketing can be boiled down to "doing the right thing for all the wrong reasons" and this is a perfect example. Should you donate your organs to save someone else at sometime in the future or should you donate to affirm your identity today as a sports fan who wants to support their team for all time. The former is definitely more noble, but the latter taps into our desire for immediate rewards that affirm who we really are. And with organ donations up 50% its hard to question the motivations when the results are so spectacular
For Google, 10X Thinking is the ultimate goal. Not optional, but mandatory for survival. It's not enough to get a little bit better every day. As hard as it is to constantly improve, little improvements lead only to incremental change. (And as a reminder of what happens to tech companies that deliver only incremental improvements, there is a statue of a dinosaur at the center of Google's campus in Mountain View.
Pop Secret started with the realization that they were not in the popcorn business, but in the movie-watching business. That's when their product was consumed and the perfect movie night was the problem their fans most focused on. Pop Secret began working not to deliver a perfect campaign, but to develop a series of ideas to see how they could solve their fans' goal of the perfect movie night. The work resulted in a bunch of prototypes developed into projects that were launched to the public:
- A browser extension let fans highlight any movie title and identify where on the web that movie could be streamed.
- A partnership with movie review site "Rotten Tomatoes" allowed fans to identify which movie critics share their taste in movies.
- Another partnership, with online dating site OkCupid, helped singles connect through their love of the same movies.
Rather than seeing these prototypes as one-off campaigns, Pop Secret viewed them all as attempts to innovate around perfecting the movie night. All were housed on the Pop Secret's lab website, so fans could try out these new innovations.
Pop Secret's 10X Thinking moment hadn't come until they asked themselves: What's the biggest problem with popcorn and movie night?
The answer came not from some digital native, but an old account guy who asked the simple question: "Could someone come up with something to help me stop burning my popcorn in the microwave, because the smell stinks up the house for the whole night?"
What do we remember? People and Places: Example Dish's "The Hopper"
I've been talking about what makes ads memorable a lot recently, but another nice example is Dish's Hopper spot, if we remember people and places really well, what will make a new DVR feature more memorable than a heavily accented Boston family. Good stuff
How Apple went from "think different" to "think like everyone else"
Adage called the new iphone5 ad a return to form, but I'm going to suggest its a massive failure of function. For years, starting with "Think Different" through "Mac/PC" and even including Siri, Apple products were not for everyone, they were for creative people, albeit people everyone wanted to be like. But with the latest ad, they may have returned to the simplicity of form that they are famous for, but have switched from social aspiration to social proof, ending with the line.
"Every day, more photos are taken with the iPhone than any other camera."
Social Proof is a great behavioral economic principle for marketers to tap into, its a proof point that brands like British Airways and Visa built a brand around; "if everyone else is doing it, it must be good" is a very reassuring positioning. But its a massive fail if it ends up contradicting a brand positioning you've been building up for thirty years - "If people I admire are doing it, it must be great"

Brilliant editorial design with an advertising idea built in.
You love it or hate it… err I mean HER. One woman, a nation divided. #MarmiteMargaret #theguardian via hallojo
The margaret/marmite ad: So smart, so creative and so fast
Why is this ad comparing Kmart's new service to feces? I was completely uninvolved in it, but here's my thought on why it works. In store shipping is not a hard sell, its a great solution to a common problem, but after decades of shopping, its hard to REMEMBER that new options are available. That's where rude humor comes in. As memory expert Joshua Foer details in "Moonwalking with Einstein," we have a hard time remembering concepts and numbers, but people, places, rudeness, humor, and above all else rude humor, are incredibly easy to remember. Sometimes all advertising needs to be is memorable, and when that happens, its best to swoop low.
I always liked Svedka's #1 Vodka of 2033 campaign; the mocking of vodka advertising conventions, hot babes and #1 accolades, but can also see the criticism, it basically bought into everything it was ridiculing, kinda like Stella Artois. But whatever you thought, one thing I gave them credit for was a big idea, consistently executed and constantly refreshed.
What's really disappointing is not that they're abandoning it, but that what they're replacing it with is so generic. I miss Svedka already and can confidently predict they will no longer be the #1 vodka of 2033

|Homestays, bikes needed for XTERRA, Tagaman
|Homestays, bikes needed for XTERRA, Tagaman
|Friday, 01 February 2013 05:38
By Roselyn Monroyo | Reporter | Saipan Tribune
Participants of the XTERRA Saipan and Tagaman need a taste of island hospitality as the two biggest triathlon events in the CNMI take place next month.
The 2013 XTERRA Saipan Championship will be held on March 9, while the 2013 Tagaman Triathlon is set for March 16 and with some off-island athletes confirmed to join both competitions, having hosts for their two-week stay on Saipan will be very much appreciated.
"We need at least 6 volunteers for homestays. I have done this many years and I can tell you first hand it is a great experience. Our homestays are very low maintenance, usually riding their bikes to where ever they need to go. We usually do casual dinners at home and they like to get to bed early so they can get up early to train," said Northern Marianas Islands Triathlon Federation/SASC Saipan Adventure Sports Club president Russ Quinn in an email circulated to NMITF members.
Quinn added that offering "homestays" is what makes XTERRA Saipan different from the other legs in the XTERRA World Tour. He said the event was called XTERRA's Crown Jewel because Saipan is great with taking care of visiting triathletes.
"Each year the event gets bigger with more pros coming and more age groupers visiting to try the race they hear about from others," the NMITF head said.
Besides the homestays, Quinn said visiting triathletes will also need bikes.
"We need 3 or 4 bikes, some road and some mountain to loan to competitors who plan on doing both events, but cannot bring two bikes. Again I've done this with my road bike and they have taken great care of it and returned it in better shape than when I lent it to them. So if you have a bike that is decent and you are not going to do one of the races, please consider lending it, But we need to know soon," Quinn said.
Around 100 are expected to compete in XTERRA Saipan, including three pros who will be making their debut in next month's event. South Africa's Dan Hugo and Bradley Weiss and Scotland's Rory Downie, through their websites, have confirmed they are making a stop on Saipan to complete XTERRA's Asia Tour, which will begin in the Philippines (March 2) and end in Guam (March 23).
The three competitive pros will be battling the men's championship against former XTERRA Saipan winner Sam Gardner of United Kingdom and France's Olivier Marceau and defending champion Ben Allen of Australia.
Taga, Inc., which is organizing both XTERRA and Tagaman, is expecting to get a few more pros and a lot of age group participants this month when registration for both events gets into full swing. Registration for XTERRA will be until March 6 (11:59pm) while Tagaman's is on March 12. Early registration is encouraged to get discounted rates.

Instagram Blog: Thank you, and we're listening
Thank you, and we're listening
Yesterday we introduced a new version of our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service that will take effect in thirty days. These two documents help communicate as clearly as possible our relationship with the users of Instagram so you understand how your data will be used, and the rules that govern the thriving and active Instagram community. Since making these changes, we've heard loud and clear that many users are confused and upset about what the changes mean.
I'm writing this today to let you know we're listening and to commit to you that we will be doing more to answer your questions, fix any mistakes, and eliminate the confusion. As we review your feedback and stories in the press, we're going to modify specific parts of the terms to make it more clear what will happen with your photos.
Legal documents are easy to misinterpret. So I'd like to address specific concerns we've heard from everyone:
Advertising on Instagram From the start, Instagram was created to become a business. Advertising is one of many ways that Instagram can become a self-sustaining business, but not the only one. Our intention in updating the terms was to communicate that we'd like to experiment with innovative advertising that feels appropriate on Instagram. Instead it was interpreted by many that we were going to sell your photos to others without any compensation. This is not true and it is our mistake that this language is confusing. To be clear: it is not our intention to sell your photos. We are working on updated language in the terms to make sure this is clear.
To provide context, we envision a future where both users and brands alike may promote their photos & accounts to increase engagement and to build a more meaningful following. Let's say a business wanted to promote their account to gain more followers and Instagram was able to feature them in some way. In order to help make a more relevant and useful promotion, it would be helpful to see which of the people you follow also follow this business. In this way, some of the data you produce — like the actions you take (eg, following the account) and your profile photo — might show up if you are following this business.
The language we proposed also raised question about whether your photos can be part of an advertisement. We do not have plans for anything like this and because of that we're going to remove the language that raised the question. Our main goal is to avoid things like advertising banners you see in other apps that would hurt the Instagram user experience. Instead, we want to create meaningful ways to help you discover new and interesting accounts and content while building a self-sustaining business at the same time.
Ownership Rights Instagram users own their content and Instagram does not claim any ownership rights over your photos. Nothing about this has changed. We respect that there are creative artists and hobbyists alike that pour their heart into creating beautiful photos, and we respect that your photos are your photos. Period.
I always want you to feel comfortable sharing your photos on Instagram and we will always work hard to foster and respect our community and go out of our way to support its rights.
Privacy Settings Nothing has changed about the control you have over who can see your photos. If you set your photos to private, Instagram only shares your photos with the people you've approved to follow you. We hope that this simple control makes it easy for everyone to decide what level of privacy makes sense.
I am grateful to everyone for their feedback and that we have a community that cares so much. We need to be clear about changes we make — this is our responsibility to you. One of the main reasons these documents don't take effect immediately, but instead 30 days from now, is that we wanted to make sure you had an opportunity to raise any concerns. You've done that and are doing that, and that will help us provide the clarity you deserve. Thank you for your help in making sure that Instagram continues to thrive and be a community that we're all proud of. Please stay tuned for updates coming soon.

ELLIS LANKSTER: Every cornerback on this team saw their role expand in 2012 after the loss of Revis, and Lankster was no different. Quarterbacks' ratings when throwing Lankster's way was actually a hair better than Wilson at 78.1 to Wilson's 78.4. In pass coverage, is rating was -2.3. He recorded 2 INTs to Wilson's 1. He just comes off as the harder worker than Kyle Wilson. In my opinion, Lankster should be……
ISAIAH TRUFANT: At 30 years old, we have a journeyman cornerback that hasn't done a great deal for this team. He was active for 9 games in 2012, recording 16 tackles, averaging not even 2 tackles per game. They aren't going to lose a great cover guy if he is cut, and will save a few hundred thousand on the cap if they do. Isiah Trufant should be…….
AARON BERRY: Aaron was brought in last year to bolster the defensive backfield in Darrelle's absence, but unfortunately, he was hampered by injury from the moment he arrived, limiting him to 2 tackles. In 11 games in 2011, he totalled 31 tackles and 11 pass defended while with the Detroit Lions. He doesn't make a lot of money ($355,588), so if he is healthy, he is worth another look. Aaron Berry should be …………….
DONNIE FLETCHER/DARRIN WALLS: I am going to take these two together because they both were in basically the same situation, bouncing back and forth from the practice squad. They are both young, and don't make a lot of money obviously. Walls recorded a couple of tackles, Fletcher none. As they are young, they are certainly worth a trip to training camp. Both of these guys should be……

Tensions were high at Thursday night's Adams County Board of Zoning and Appeals meeting as a crowd gathered to hear the board's decision regarding a proposed wind test tower being constructed in Adams County.
John Minch, who recently ended an eight-year run as mayor of Berne, has announced his candidacy as a Democrat candidate for one of three at-large seats on the Adams County Council. Minch has filed the necessary paperwork to participate in the May primary election.
This was the scene late Thursday morning as a train derailed just south of the Bunge North America location, closing the Second Street railroad crossing for several hours.
The street reopened around 2:30 p.m. after a crew got the train back on the tracks.
Robert Paul Banks died last Sunday, a day after his 72nd birthday, at his home in Corsicana, Texas.
A graduate of Decatur High School and Tennessee Tech, he was a teacher and coach at Monmouth High School, Decatur Junior High and Southeast Elementary here until moving to Corsicana in 1981.
Among survivors are his wife, Marsha; two children; and five stepchildren.
Graveside services were held Wednesday in Corsicana. Griffin-Roughton Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements.
Ruth Margaret (Kimble) Beer, 90, of Sycamore, died early Wednesday, January 18, 2012, in Kishwaukee Community Hospital.
She was born on Thursday, June 16, 1921 in Decatur, to Dwight and Ruth (Madden) Kimble.
She married Karl H. Beer on Nov. 29, 1950.
She was a member of The Federated Church in Sycamore.
A year ago, East Noble finished sixth in the NHC Wrestling Tourney at New Haven. Saturday, the Knights will host the meet and if they live up to their seedings, the hosts will challenge for the crown.
The City of Decatur continues to move closer to putting completely back in order — and ready for a tenant — the 100-year-old former Pennsylvania Railroad depot off Seventh St., near Monroe St.
City council on Tuesday night authorized the expenditure of $12,000 to pay some bills and learned that it soon will be time to consider purchasing a new furnace for the structure.
Marcy Kaye (Smelser) Koons, of Decatur, has announced her candidacy as a Democrat for the office of Recorder of Adams County.
Three Republicans have announced that they will be seeking the office: Deb Stimpson and Jim Voglewede of Decatur, and Gerald Walker of Berne.
Current Recorder Connie Moser is barred by term limits from seeking a third term.
Unseasonably warm weather brought with it a torrent of rain, swelling the St. Mary's River beyond it's banks and making the River Greenway Trail impassable to would-be hikers this week.
Today, local weather station officials said the St. Marys River here had dropped from a Wednesday crest of 18.23 feet to 15.58 feet at 7 a.m. today.
Cold weather now has Decatur in its grip.
At Tuesday's meeting of the Adams Country Commissioners, County Attorney Mark Burry presented a proposal from Schenkel and Schultz, a Fort Wayne engineering firm, to inspect the former Music House building for $3,200.
The commissioners are looking at the now-vacant downtown building as a possible site for a new Adams Superior Court location.
Chairman Doug Bauman said, "We have to investigate some alternative, and the Music House may be one. We won't know until we look."

Only one question: which countries have/do not have city flags? I know only one which does not: Finland, my home country. 126.96.36.199 15:59, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
- Just looked http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jersey_City,_New_Jersey and it does not have a flag. Then I googled if it has a flag, and the answer is yes it has. Now I'm wondering why it is not in that article? Is the only reason it has not been drawn to Commons? 184.108.40.206 03:09, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

It's prom season and kids and parents are on edge about everything that needs to be done in preparation. On the kid's side of the spectrum, there's finding a date, figuring out what to wear, making restaurant reservations and somehow balancing all of this with studying for final exams. For parents, concerns are a little less exciting.
Although every parent wants to make sure their child has a fun and memorable night, prom can also come with some temptations and dangers that parents are responsible for addressing. For fathers who want to protect their daughters while encouraging them to have fun, read on for some helpful tips.
1. Meet Your Daughter's Date Before the Dance
If you haven't already been acquainted with your daughter's date, schedule a proper meeting before the dance. This meeting will be your chance to get to know the date and establish ground rules. Invite her date over for dinner a week before prom and let them know that you hold them partially responsible for keeping your daughter safe during prom night.
2. Reiterate Policies on Using Illegal Substances
We've all seen the cult classics depicting prom night as a let loose occasion for partying, drinking and abandoning all inhibitions. These classics often don't feature some of the consequences of said actions. Automobile accidents, sexual assault, alcohol poisoning and a number of other serious issues arise during prom night. It's up to parents to inform their teens that prom is not all fun and games.
3. Provide Incentives for Good Behavior
Has your daughter been admiring those beautiful pearl bracelets in the hopes of pairing them with her prom dress? She can have them only if she compiles a report about the drunk driving dangers during prom and creates a plan of action.
4. Get Involved
From volunteering as a prom chaperone to shopping for proper attire with your daughter, prom is an event that can involve both you and your teenager. Even though it is her special night, it is also likely to be one of the last special occasions you'll spend together before she graduates. Make the best use of your time by going shopping together, having lunch, and doing other prom-prep activities. Let her know that you care. Take advantage of the precious moments while you still can.
Going to the prom has been a rite of passage for teens since our grandparents were in high school. You want this night to be as memorable for your daughter as it was for you. Once you get all of the safety measures and warnings out of the way, encourage her to have fun! It's the last big celebration she'll have with her high school classmates. It's bound to be a moment they'll never forget.

What is prostate cancer?
The prostate is part of the male reproductive system. It is a small, walnut-sized gland weighing about an ounce. The prostate is located below the bladder and in front of the rectum and surrounds the urethra. The main function of the prostate is to produce ejaculatory fluid. Prostate cancer is different from most cancers in that a large percentage of men may have a silent form of the cancer it does not cause symptoms or progress beyond the prostate gland. Due to its high incidence, prostate cancer is a significant health-care problem in the United States and is the most common cancer among men.
What are the symptoms of prostate cancer?
In its early stages, prostate cancer often causes no symptoms.
How is prostate cancer diagnosed and treated?
Currently, digital rectal examination (DRE) and PSA tests (measurements of the level of PSA a substance produced only by the prostate in the bloodstream) are used for prostate cancer detection.
Prostate Cancer Treatment
At Urology Austin, we offer the full complement of options to patients. Our major goal is to fully inform patients of their options, including external beam radiation, brachytherapy, open radical prostatectomy, and even the laparoscopic prostatectomy.
Using the da Vinci® Surgical System, we offer a robotic assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy which incorporates the latest advancements in robotics and computer technology. This robotic system provides a 3-D view, X10 optical magnification, and scaled robotic hand movements.
Ultimately, the right treatment for your prostate cancer should be an individualized decision between you and your urologist. At Urology Austin, we pride ourselves on thoroughly educating our patients, so we can help them make an appropriate decision based on their personal preferences, cancer stage, and overall medical health.

Work to be done but signs are there, says Martinez.
Roberto Martinez says he is proud of the belief his Everton players showed at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, despite coming away without any of the three points they had targeted throughout.
The Blues boss was left frustrated with Lee Probert's decision to award Chelsea a 92nd-minute free-kick - a set-piece from which the hosts would net the decisive goal.
Everton, meanwhile, had 53 per cent of the ball away from home in another strong showing against one of the title favourites - but they were unable to find a way past Petr Cech in the day's early kick-off.
And while admitting there is still work to be done to turn that possession into more victories, Martinez highlighted the commitment his side showed against the table-toppers.
He told evertontv: "We have to get even more desire to make sure that from now until the end of the season we understand that we are as good as anybody in this league.
"We need to work on getting the results our performances deserve.
"We've been performing with that belief and know-how throughout the season.
"It was important to try to get that first goal when you come to places like this and you dominate the game as we did in the first half."
There was a late change to the starting line-up after Lacina Traore had to withdraw from the squad minutes before kick-off.
"It was a big blow for us," Martinez added.
"Lacina had been working really well after playing against Swansea and it was just in the final kick of the warm-up that he felt his hamstring and couldn't participate.
"But as you would always expect from our dressing room, the team was ready to react and Steven Naismith stepped in and he performed in a manner that was exactly what the team needed."

The luscious scents of Penhaligon's Quercus body products will soon grace the staterooms aboard Cunard Line's Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria. The global cruise line is adding body lotion, shower get, shampoo and conditioner to its bathrooms by way of a Royal Warrant that is awarded to a company that supplies services or goods to a member of the United Kingdom's Royal Family. Only senior members of the Royal Family bestow Warrants, which the companies that receive them may proudly display.
The Quercus scent, created in 1996, is named after the English oak to embody strength, tradition and essential Englishness through musk and sandalwood base notes warmed with jasmine and cardamom and topped with citrus and bergamot that diffuse an elegant and uplifting fragrance with equal appeal to men and women.
Queen Elizabeth will be the first to feature Quercus products followed by Queen Victoria and Queen Mary 2 in the summer of 2014. Due to passenger demand the shower gel and shampoo will be packaged in larger sizes, while body lotion and conditioner will be in smaller bottles. Soaps will also be provided and all items will be replenished as required.
Passengers booked in Queens Grill and Princess Grill suites accommodation, and the top suites will be treated to a Scent Library containing 10 samples from across Penhaligon's fragrance spectrum.
"With its intriguing mix of tradition and modernity, the classic and the quirky, Penhaligon's perfectly accords with the distinctly British feel of our three ships," said David Dingle, CEO for Cunard Line. "We are very happy to be working with Penhaligon's, which like Cunard has a distinguished history and long association with the Royal family."
Penhaligon's has been "entertaining England's nostrils" since 1870, and the spirit of founder William Penhaligon touches everything the company does today. Its scents are still made and bottled in England using the highest quality ingredients. Penhaligon's is proud to hold two Royal Warrants: from HRH The Prince of Wales (granted in 1988) and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh (granted in 1956).
For more information about Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria and to book a voyage, contact a travel agent, call Cunard toll-free at 1-800-728-6273, or visit www.cunard.com.

Teacher quality

My daughter hated all her schools until she got to Tuacahn. The infrastructure is fantastic and the energy and dedication of the teachers is incredible. As my daughter says 'Tuacahn Rocks!'
Tuacahn has been the most wonderful experience for me. Not only have I been able to really push my self artistically, but I have also been challenged academically. I am currently a senior (08-09) have been accepted to my top 3 colleges, and have received so far more than $18,000 in scholarships, this would not have been possible at just any old' public high school. I am on a first name basis with many of my teachers, while still maintaining the respect needed in a learning environment. i have several of my teachers personal phone numbers, I am able to call them or text them at any time, night or weekend, with questions/comments/concerns. We have an intense ACT/SAT prep course that is only 30 dollars. The same course at sylvan is about $3,000. The administration is familiar with EVERY single student, knowing their name, and a little bit about them.
This school is a college preparatory charter school that focuses on the performing arts. It is an incredible opportunity for students to challenge themselves both in their academics and their performing
Tuacahn is a good school. We moved here for my daughter to go to this school. She has had some good experiences but also some not so good. She was here last year for her junior year and will go there this year 08-09. She disliked the unfriendliness of the students so much she thought of going to the school a mile away for her senior year. She has decided to go back to Tuacahn. Maybe being a school of performers makes the students unfriendly because of the competitiveness of the type of students that would go there. We didn't like the idea of the uniforms at first because this type of kids are usually want to be creative in the way they dress. But we have been very happy with the uniforms and not so much time and money needs to be put on buying, etc. clothing.
This school is great! Especially for kids who like to be themselves and not worry about peer pressure. The students are more like a family, class sizes VERY small, and lots of opportunities for taking college courses. Just a wonderful school. My son just graduated and I can't tell you what it has done for him and for his education.
Tuacahn is a place where kids can be themselves without a lot of the outside pressures that easily seen at public high schools. Just looking at it anyone can see. Whether it's the uniforms that keep equality or the individualists confidance to sing and dance through the hallways. (Sometimes with accompaniment.) Hopefully nothing will ever cause this establishment to fail.

Zomboid [English] Lyrics
Licked by the Nurse Cosplayer,
I can't hold it in, it's time to ejaculate
Spattering slimy on to your face.
It only lasted five minutes but,
It was a pleasure, a trip, a trap, an S trip.
Running gooey into your mouth.
The S&M Porno's of the 80's were my adolesence.
Midori, Eri, Ai, Jyun.
The blurred out bits got in the way, frustrated and pissed me off.
Now even I'm all grown up.
These days I've stopped just watching the videos,
Now I go to specialty pervert shops.
I'm hot and horny for little Alpine Heidi.
At the small park in front of Shinjuku Gyoen
On the fourth floor of the Gotanda Building.
My eyes were opened anew, unable to look away.
It's too late to think that I can be Bisexual now,
So I rid myself of the thought.
Addicted to the male sexual organ. Licking up the goo.
Sweet my Honey
High Trance Play.

Philippine Catholic bishops clash with Aquino over contraception bill
Philippine Catholic bishops on Tuesday walked out of talks with the government over a planned bill allowing contraception in open opposition to President Benigno Aquino who vowed to push the bill into law. Aquino pledged last month to push for the enactment of a reproductive health bill in Congress in a bid to lower the maternal death rate in the Philippines, even at the risk of excommunication from the Roman Catholic Church.
The church, a major social and political force in the poor Southeast Asian nation, has blocked similar bills since the 1990s by talking to lawmakers and has denounced Aquino's support for contraception, considered a sin.
The bishops' decision could lead to more policy clashes between the church and state, analysts say. Since 1986, bishops have been instrumental in mobilizing people to help oust two presidents. They are also blocking mining contracts in the provinces in another big challenge to the government.
The Philippines has one of Asia's fastest-growing populations, which is nearing 100 million people, and slowing the increase is seen as one way of cutting poverty.
"The bishops do not see any reason to further undertake a serious study or dialogue" on the bill, Monsignor Juanito Figura, secretary of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), said. The bishops said the proposed law would encourage abortion, which is illegal in the Philippines.

It amazes me how men that are celibate think they have any right to judge or direct the masses on sexual matters. You would think they'd want to focus all of their attention on the skeletons in their own closet rather than condemn the rest of the planet. If I were to measure sins, I'd say child molestation seriously outweighs the use of contraceptions.

It's been a few years since Ginger Bistro (6665 Delmar Blvd) was a Blockbuster and not a restaurant, and management has done a good job of transforming the space. When my husband and I stopped in for dinner on a recent Monday evening, we felt it spoke "restaurant," not "retail." What could not mask, unfortunately, was the fact that they are located directly underneath a gym. Much as I tried to ignore the treadmill vibrations and the frequent dropping of dumbbells, it did not make for the most peaceful eating environment.
Its unfortunate location doesn't seem to keep customers away from the restaurant, which had a fairly steady stream of customers (many of them takeout…probably attempting to avoid the guilt of eating instead of working out upstairs!). Still, the large restaurant was anything but bustling.
We passed on the drink menu, in part because its "seasonal cocktails" were clearly still stuck in winter. Much as I love a warm drink spiked with alcohol, it's the last thing I want on a hot June evening. The menu features a variety—everything from sushi to curries to rice or noodle dishes—a combination best described as Pan-Asian. On recommendation from the server, I ordered the salmon, which came with pineapple salsa and wasabi mashed potatoes, while my husband selected the chicken curry, his usual order when spotted on a menu.
The wait for our food was relatively short and because we were seated by the window, we passed the time watching an assortment of characters on Delmar Boulevard. When my plate was set down in front of me, I first noticed how nicely it was plated. My next observation was the giant chip on the corner of my plate. Given the number of empty tables in the restaurant, I know they could have found another plate to serve me on…a realization made more disappointing when I saw that the plate looked dirty. Not one to complain (I'm the first to admit it's sometimes the dishwasher that leaves those spots!), I decided not to mention it…but it did put a poor taste in my mouth the remainder of the meal.
Thankfully, the salmon redeemed things. Light and buttery, it was cooked as it should be and paired nicely with the bok choy. The pineapple salsa was a disappointment, coming straight from a can and lacking fresh flavor. The wasabi mashed potatoes were by far the most interested mashed taters I've ever tried. I wouldn't necessarily order them again, but my empty plate clearly indicated I didn't hate them!
The chicken curry, on the other hand, was mediocre at best. There was nothing inherently wrong with it, but it wasn't particularly memorable either. The portion sizes were generous and the prices were reasonable, but both dishes failed to wow us.
Lest you swear off Ginger Bistro forever, I think it's worth noting that paying a visit to this restaurant definitely has its place and time. If you're dining with kids, for instance, this would be a great place to bring them. The space is large enough and casual enough to accommodate a more rambunctious group. If you're looking for a quick bite to eat that isn't fast food, I'm confident you can get in and out of Ginger Bistro while staying on schedule.
If you want to try a new cuisine but are a little bit wary, Ginger Bistro is a good introduction—it has enough familiar sounding options that won't scare you away. So long as you arrive with your expectations in check (and you are okay with the vibrations of treadmills!), this is worth a visit next time you're wanting to try something new in the Loop.

The Friends of Somerset Archives and the Dickinson Archive
The archive of the Dickinson family of Kingweston, is a large important collection held at the Somerset Heritage Centre.
In December 2011, volunteers from the Friends of Somerset Archives began the arduous task of flattening the thousands of documents previously contained within the hundreds of bundles. The enthusiasm of the team became very evident, enabling them to finish the flattening process 2 months earlier than expected, April 2012, when the seven volunteers divided into two groups.
