Ooh, La La: Antique French Diamond Earrings
Exceptional craftsmanship and immutable flair is synonymous with French designed jewelry. No matter the decade or century, the essence of pure design emerges. Here we have an example of those attributes and attitudes in the guise of earrings. As though floating in mid air, a rose cut diamond is elevated up high upon the prongs of 18k rose gold. As a rose cut has a flat bottom, it appears larger than its actual weight. In this instance, the total estimated weight of both diamonds is .30 carats yet visually each appears to be .20 carats. Striking and sophisticated, the golden earrings have back to front ear wires for comfortable wear and secure fit.
Date: Circa 1890.
Measurements: 11/16 of an inch (1.6 cm) in length by 1/2 of an inch (1.2 cm) in width. Weight of 3.9 grams (2.5 dwt) for the pair.
Hallmarks: French eagle's head.
Condition: Excellent; a bit of edge wear to diamonds visible with magnification.
Origin: French.
Note: Diamonds have not been removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting. All diamond weights have been approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weights.

"This is terrific for the community," Garcia said. "The kids are having a great time. At the same time, they are learning good sportsmanship and fair play, and they are making a lot of new friends."
Amidst the thump of feet striking soccer balls and the crack of small shin guards colliding, Patterson's young athletes competed during a day loaded with 18 games.
The hopeful successors to U.S. soccer stars Tim Howard and Abby Wambach charged around fields in baggy shorts and cleats, showing their skills to loved ones.
Samuel Ochoa, 7, said this is his third year playing for the PYSA, and soccer is his favorite sport.
"I like to make goals and to play offense," he said. "It's a lot of fun to be out here on the field."
Samuel's mother, Martha Ochoa, said she encourages her son to play organized sports because it's great exercise.
"Soccer really helps him to keep active," Ochoa said. "I also feel a lot of pride watching him on the field."
The sun shone bright, the sky was a crisp blue, and the fields — softened from a recent pre-game sprinkling — were lush green. The players, scattered across four fields and ranging in age from 4 to 15, wore fresh new uniforms in a spectrum of colors.
Parents gathered in bunches on the sidelines, pausing their conversations to scream instructions at their children. Younger siblings played impromptu soccer games wherever they could find space.
"I look forward to this time of year," said Kyle Sinclair, whose niece Makayla was playing on one of the under-6 girls teams. "I enjoy watching the kids develop into better players throughout the course of the season."
The PYSA continues to grow each year, according to Garcia. This season, the league boasts 56 teams and more than 500 players.
Players are grouped according to age, with under-6, under-8, under-10 and under-12 boys and girls teams and under-15 co-ed teams.
"We want to make this an enjoyable experience for everyone," Garcia said. "We believe we have a good program for this community that really loves its soccer."
Keeping kids active is just one of the goals of the PYSA, which was formed in 2005. Garcia said in addition to the local boys and girls who take part in the league, there are several hardworking coaches and volunteers who help the program in a variety of ways.
Whether filling holes in fields by hand, blowing up balls, negotiating for field time, sticking Band-Aids on skinned knees or selling hot dogs and raffle tickets to raise money, Garcia said every effort helps.
"None of us get paid a cent for what we do, and that's very important, because we do it for the love of the game," Garcia said. "The key concept here is the community. I feel that this town loves the family atmosphere we create when soccer is played at the sports complex."
Garcia added that the PYSA's purpose is to operate soccer programs where young people can learn to develop constructive character traits and have positive learning experiences to reach their athletic potential.
"Our program is specifically focused on teaching the fundamentals of the game of soccer, and more importantly, having these soccer players continue to play the game for a lifetime," Garcia said. "Our players can participate at a level that they feel comfortable and confident. We keep the pressure to perform at a minimum and really stress that this is a fun sport to be a part of."

Nail heads trim the living room's Lillian August sofa, covered with Robert Allen fabric, and marble adds texture and rhythm to the fireplace. French doors open onto the new courtyard, the nucleus of architect Opacic's U-shaped, revamped floor plan.
Painted cool blue in a custom color created by interior designer Stanley Hura, the living room features three windows (only two are shown) that look out to the front portico, echoing the triple arches outside.
The foyer's long bench is covered in Beacon Hill fabric. The clock, paintings, and accessories are antiques. The circular mahogany table illustrates how the redo is a "step up" from her previous country style, Meredith says.
Meredith's existing dining table was refinished to work in the revamped house. A patterned wall covering and silver-leaf chandelier elegantly dress the space.
A crystal candelabra situated in front of a large mirror doubles the light in the home's dining room.
The nail-head trim and tufting are repeated in the study. Paint is from Benjamin Moore.
The family gathers in this cozy room; the flat-panel television is from Philips Electronics.
The whole-house revamp began with one small wish: Meredith's desire for a breakfast banquette; leather from Ralph Lauren.
A showcase for the beautiful reclaimed white oak flooring used throughout the house, the new kitchen includes Viking appliances and an island with a deep copper sink. See details on the next slide.
Another copper sink just below the window provides comfortable continuity with the rest of the kitchen's metallic accents.
Just off the kitchen, the family room has a pair of the family's favorite old leather chairs, repaired and ready to go.
A tabletop vignette lends character to the family room.
A Philips flat screen television takes center stage. The door leads to the outdoor kitchen and dining area.
The new master suite overlooks the courtyard. The four-poster bed and chairs are from Hickory Chair. Lamps are from Restoration Hardware.
Given Meredith and Richard's careers, it's no surprise that flat-panel TVs are in nearly every room, including their own.
A handmade Persian rug warms the master sitting area.
Meredith's bath connects to the bedroom through a dressing room with a closet designed by California Closets. Opacic designed the custom vanity.
See details on the next slide.
The tub plus all other plumbing fixtures and tiles are from Waterworks.
Furnished in antiques, the new outdoor kitchen just outside the family room includes a grill and under-counter fridge, plus a sink on the opposite side (not shown). The floor is New York State bluestone.

On Thursday, AgriTalk host Mike Adams spoke with Animal Agriculture Alliance Executive Vice President Kay Johnson Smith about the concerns with the Meatless Monday campaign.
Adams said, "A recent poll found over 50 percent of Americans are aware of this campaign, up from 30 percent six months ago. More concerning is that 27 percent in that poll said the campaign has influenced their decision to eat less meat one day a week."
"The campaign has been around for a number of years but in last year and half has picked up more steam because marketers have been promoting it more and bringing in new and different arguments to support their case," Johnson said. "However, there is a lot of misinformation being provided to the public because the organization behind the campaign is animal-rights oriented and would like to see meatless meals seven days a week, not just Mondays."
Johnson adds that the campaign has a two-pronged approach. At first it was just eliminating meat for so-called health reasons with animal rights agenda behind it, but now it's being tied to environmental issues to further attack the animal ag industry. Unfortunately this, too, is based on a lot of false information, she said.
"In secondary and elementary schools it's more of a program to add alternatives to meat, though some alternatives include macaroni and cheese or grilled cheese, so it's different than meat, but not necessarily animal-free," she explained. "The concern is mainly the agenda that is behind the campaign more than the concern that alternatives are being offered on the menu."
The Animal Agriculture Alliance has been coordinating efforts to gather resources for people concerned with this campaign. "We are concerned that more school districts are promoting it to kids; kids are potentially not making right decisions regarding their protein needs," Johnson told Adams. "They may be choosing alternatives that doesn't mean they are necessarily healthier. If some districts opt out of offer any sort of animal protein and this may be only meal some kids get during the day that includes protein, so there are a lot of concerns."
If a school district appears to be promoting a meatless day, that sends a signal that they are in favor or promoting it as being good, and misinformation can form around it. "From a nutritional standpoint there is nothing that supports the elimination of meat and poultry products from the diet," Johnson stated. "Meat/animal protein is the one area that the consumers are not overeating." Unfortunately, if schools promote this to students, students may buy in and they don't understand the nutritional consequences if they are not including protein in the diet.

some recipes do not stipulate whether you should use plain or self raising - what should be used. b) some recipes use half wholemeal and half plain white - why can the recipe not be all wholemeal and should it be assumed that it is plain wholemeal?
Lastly when following a recipe using white flour can it be substituted like for like with wholemeal
welcome to the forum Charlieb1
I have found that substituting plain flour for all wholemeal flour results in a heavier bake, what the white flour does is allow the texture of what you are baking to be lighter.
If I use wholemeal flour I generally mix a bit of whte flour in with it.
I do not usually use all wholemeal.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
the white flour creates a better, more flexible texture, more elastic because it has more protein. wholemeal has lots of fiber so if you use all wholemeal the bread crumbles. I usually take some wholemeal, some white and some soy flour. the last buns were so tasty I ate them all with cloudberry jam in one go.

I tryed to make the tiramisu recipe i saw on you tube ( the one Jamie is in veneza with Genaro), but after melting the chocolate and throw it on top of biscuits, after a while, my chocolate got hard and not soft as it should be, so everytime i want to eat a little bit of tiramisu, i had to break the chocolate!!i would like to know why, can it be because of the type of chocolate used?I used a 70% chocolate, so i don�t understand, because i melt it like Jamie said to do.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
I'd also recommend saving up for a Magimix. I've used them for 35 years both in my family cooking and in my business.
The motors are strong. The warranty period is better than others I've used.
I'm on my third now (in 35 years). The first one, 35 years old/young, is still going well. I gifted it to my mother-in- law because I wanted a bigger bowl. The second one, I gifted to my daughter for the same reason. It is still going perfectly.
When I married I bought a less expensive brand from the department store. Didn't really know what I was needing or wanting. It lasted two months. The motor blew. It wasn't strong enough.
Do yourself a favour. Save up and buy a Magimix. If my original is still going after 35 years, it's a better investment than the department store offering that lasted two months.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
I don't know if Jamie still answers but let's see and maybe get some other opinions along the way...
I have a 2.4kg Haunch of venison currently topped with a nice piece of pork belly fat (with some meat) bringing the whole thing to well over 3kg.
At first I intended to quickly roast it, leaving it at most medium rare however now I'm thinking that this won't do the belly pork any favours and I also notice some fierce debate on the matter of haunch with many people saying that it should be slow cooked...
I have had a smaller haunch before that I quickly roast and it was lovely, tender and moist but I am a little daunted by the bigger joint especially with the belly atop.
So, any thoughts?

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Hi Jamie
I have a medical condition which means I cannot eat anything with salt, sugar or acid (e.g. lemon). If I do, it aggravate my 'cluster' headaches which means in excruciating pain up to 4 days at a time.
Of course this has meant I have had to drastically change my diet. I have tried alternative such as low salt and sea salt as well as a substitute for normal salt and 'agave' honey and sweeteners from plant nectar. Unfortunately these still aggravate my headaches.
I am a big fan of your 15mins recipes and was wondering if you are able to suggest any recipes that enable me to get flavours in my food without the use of salt or sugar.
Thank you and look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

Yesterday we had a very disappointing day in North Carolina. When your dad and I had "We Voted!" stickers last week, we talked with you about the upcoming vote. When we told you people were voting to make it even more illegal (because it is already illegal) for boys to marry boys and girls to marry girls, your sweet beautiful almost 6 year old minds were shocked and upset.
I refuse to say anything hateful or negative about the outcome. We are a family who believes in love. We are a family that believes that if you want a pink water bottle, you can have a pink water bottle. We believe you can wear jewelry, wear barrettes in your hair, and paint your nails fire engine red if that is what you want to do.... no matter what anyone says. We believe you are perfect just the way you are.
If you figure out one day you are gay, you are safe here. You will have gay friends at school. You have gay relatives. Members of our church are gay. We have gay friends. I want all of these people... and you two... to know you are safe here because we believe in love. We believe you were born beautiful just the way you are.
We believe you are PERFECT just the way you are.
On days like this, it will be hard to be positive. When you experience moments like this, I want you to remember the wise words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr:
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
We have many hopes for our future, but fundamentally, we hope that your hearts are full of love and that you put that out into the world. We hope that you love people as they are. We hope that you believe people are perfect as they are. With so much love, there is no room for hate.
Growing up in the South, you will learn much about the Bible and we hope you hold John 13:34 close to your hearts:
"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another."
With love,
Your crazy hippie parents

Classic Peanuts for the young at heart... It's Christmas time and I felt like a kid again when I saw Vertmont Country Store's Classic Peanuts Nightgownm PJ's, and King size sheets. I couldn't resist and got all of them! Everything will be perfect this Christmas! Love love love them! December 24, 2012
Cozy Fun The nightgown is cozy and warm and is well made. I am glad I got the "large" size even though I am a "medium"; the gown is straight-cut and a person needs that extra room. It's fun to sleep with the "Peanuts" characters! May 5, 2014
Out of the Mouths of Babes! Well I am so glad my jammies pass a 3 year olds expectations! From Cameron earlier..."Hey Grammie, you know what? You have really good Grandmother Jammie's! I never knew anyone ever before that has Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Woodstock, Linus, Lucy and EVERYONE on their jammies. Those are really awesome Grandmother Jammie's!" May 3, 2014
runs small Bought this nightgown in my usual size. It runs about 2 sizes smaller compared to other flannel nightgowns I have purchased from VCS. It has a very straight cut to it - so just know that before ordering. March 7, 2014
Love it I am really enjoying the warmth and comfort of this gown. The body is a little narrower than another gown I purchased here but still wonderful. February 7, 2014
Peanuts night gown My wife loves Peanuts stuff. She always has. I have made it a family tradition to purchase a new flannel night gown for her for Christmas every year. She was delighted to see her gift on Christmas. It quickly became her favorite one. Thanks for bringing my family joy on Christmas. The quality of the flannel was excellent and it was soft and smooth. Thank you again January 7, 2014
Keepin' Warm With The Peanuts Gang Temperatures in California may not be as low as parts of the rest of the country, but this time of year it drops to 30 something at night. The warm flannel of the nightgown keeps this old lady warm as toast, and the colorful characters remind me I've been a Peanuts fan for fifty years. December 26, 2013
Thick fabric This is a very well made nightgown. It was purchased for a gift, but I find myself feeling envious. :) The fabric is nice and thick and is not flimsy at all (as some flannel nightgowns can now be). I know it will be fast on it's way to being a favorite on cold winter nights. I don't think you can go wrong here. December 12, 2013

"Those programs that are geared toward farmers and agribusinesses indirectly benefit consumers by ensuring that they are using the best methods for producing safe, abundant and affordable food and fiber," said Paul Pugliese, Bartow County Extension Office coordinator. "Our society takes for granted the modern conveniences of grocery stores and restaurants. Extension provides the research and education necessary to keep our farmers feeding a growing world population of over 7 billion people."
Kicking off Monday in Rome with the 2013 Georgia Ag Forecast, the list of events includes a Bartow County Extension Office open house and a state conference as well as a series for the do-it-yourselfers from the Master Gardeners.
"Consumers that have an interest in home vegetable gardening and do-it-yourself landscaping can benefit by learning from certified Master Gardener Extension volunteers about the many services that we provide through the Bartow County Extension Office," Pugliese said. "We provide research-based information from the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences specific to growing fruits, vegetables, lawns and landscape plants in Northwest Georgia. The information we provide is not biased toward trying to sell or endorse any products, which makes us a unique, local and reliable source."
For Pugliese, who took over the office in January 2012, said the home lawn and garden series tops his list of seminar picks.
"These seminars will help educate consumers on how to save time and money and be better equipped to make informed decisions about their lawns, gardens or landscapes. We want consumers to take advantage of the vast amount of information and resources that we have available through our office," he said. "Every day we see clients making common mistakes such as planting the wrong varieties or spraying the wrong chemicals, which can end up being very costly, frustrating or damaging to the environment. These mistakes could have been easily avoided just by contacting our office or referencing the many free publications and fact sheets we have available on these topics.
"There are so many misleading sources of information today from the Internet to junk mail, and ads on television that can confuse consumers. Knowing where to find the answer is half the battle. Knowing how to interpret and apply that information is the next step."
While the Master Gardener series is useful, trained volunteers are available to assist residents every Monday and Wednesday at the county Extension Office, 320 W. Cherokee Ave. in Cartersville.
"We have some extremely dedicated and passionate volunteers that want to grow the program and reach out to the local community through more educational programs such as the upcoming lawn and garden seminar series and local 'Ask a Master Gardener' clinics," Pugliese said.
Those interested in learning more about the program or becoming a Master Gardener Extension volunteer are encouraged to attend upcoming seminars and clinics.
"We also have a variety of diagnostic services that benefit farmers, agribusinesses and backyard gardeners such as soil testing, water testing, insect, weed and plant disease identification. We help clients make smart, environmentally friendly choices for their farms, lawns and gardens," Pugliese added.
In March, the Upper Ocmulgee River RC&D Council Inc. and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Services will hold the first of three Georgia Multicultural Sustainable Agriculture conferences at the Clarence Brown Conference Center.
The theme of these conferences is "myConservationPad," playing on the popular concept of gathering information through the use of apps on a computer tablet, according to a press release.
"Georgia has experienced a significant increase in ethnically and culturally diverse populations," said Jerome Brown, District Conservation, USDANatural Resources Conservation Service in Lawrenceville. "At our first Multicultural Sustainable Agriculture Conference in July, the participants received an introduction to local, state and federal resources available to them. The goal of these conferences is to go a step further and provide tangible tools and resources that multicultural producers can begin utilizing immediately. We feel that the theme 'myConservationPad' and calling the training sessions 'apps' is a clever way of connecting the changing faces of farmers with changing practices in sustainable agriculture."
According to the release, Cartersville's conference will highlight poultry management, agri-tourism, how to start a farm, organic fruits and vegetables farming, and micro irrigation. Conference participants may attend sessions on how to become eligible and apply for USDA Farm Bill programs, developing a farm business plan, soil and plant resources, developing a successful conservation plan, risk management, best management practices, engineering design for your farm and how to grow international and ethnic foods.
Pugliese said the fact that Cartersville will host one of the three conferences highlights northwest Georgia's thriving agriculture industry.
"The combined production value of agriculture in Bartow County is over $84 million dollars per year. This conference is a great opportunity for new, beginning and prospective farmers to network and learn more about current trends toward community supported agriculture and locally grown foods," he said. "We have a tremendous potential to expand the number of small farm cooperatives, agri-tourism operations and farmer's markets in northwest Georgia. This will give local entrepreneurs the foundation and tools to move forward in these ventures."
Following in April, the Extension Office will host its first open house to provide information on services and opportunities through the agency.
"We want participants to see the full range of programs and services that we provide in the areas of 4-H Youth Development, Agriculture & Natural Resources, and Family & Consumer Sciences. We invite local youth, families, farmers and agribusinesses to explore what we do — there's something for everyone, both young and old," Pugliese said. As spring approaches, Pugliese said residents should take the time to learn something new.
"Take the time to learn something new every chance you get. If something didn't work last year for your farm or garden, then find out why. Try a different approach this year with a new plant variety or a new technique," he said. "Farming and gardening is a science that is constantly evolving and improving with new and better innovations."

Some of you must shoot both. I shoot a 50-60 pound compound comfortably. What do you think I could shoot in a Traditional bow, I am starting to itch.
kAN't speel either. poundage, compound you know. Been reading Traditional Archery Magizine too much.
haha, I was interested in learning what pondage was. I haven't shot a compound in about a year but mine was set to 55 pounds. My longbows are 50 and 42 pounds. I don't have much difficulty with them, but I notice that I get lazy and my form declines much quicker with the 50 pounder. Also when I'm holding it at full draw while I wait for a moving target to get into position, my arm starts to cant to the left or right and it screws up my shot. I have no problem at all with the 42 pounder unless I want to shoot more than 35 yards.
Everyone is a little different so what works for you will not be the same as everyone else. With my compounds, I shot 47 lbs indoors, 67 lbs outdoors, and hunted with 57 lbs, all quite comfortably. When I made the switch to trad, I wanted a bow I could pull and shoot comfortably or I figured I would never stay with it.
I bought a Jaguar with 40 lb limbs and a set of 55 lb limbs for hunting. I found I could shoot the 40's well, but could not handle the 55's and maintain good form. I traded the 55's for 50's and was able to work into them by my first trad hunting season. Last May I had shoulder surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff (not related to shooting trad) and was unable to get back up to the 50's for this past season. I hunted (successfully) with the 40's. Right now I'm shooting 45 lbs and will probably stay with that weight for next season. I could probably shoot 55 lbs now, but find I'm more accurate at 45 lbs.
Your compound weight is a little less than I was shooting so you may find 30 or 35 lbs is a good start for you. Perhaps the best thing to do is try a few differnt weights by shooting someone else's bow and see how you feel. Remember, it doesn't matter how much weight you can pull if you can't hit what you're aiming at! Stay with what's confortable when it counts and work up to heavier weights if you feel it's necessary. My bow with 40 lb limbs worked just fine on midwest whitetails - one pass-through and complete penetration on the other.

If its been a while since you've last shot traditional gear, or you are just starting out, DRB gives good advice here. You will have a much easier time learning to shoot traditional with a 30-35lbs bow, and if you're new to it, the 30#er will be way easier on your body, especially your fingers! It's all prefence, but I like a tab, rather than a glove. You're best bet would be a inexpencive take-down, and when you are ready, buy the heavier limbs. Have fun, I love shooting my old Pearson!

Some really good advice from these guys. I know it's been almost 40 years since I shot traditional, but I'm moving back that way with a Diablo TD this year. I don't have the strength I once had so I'm ordering 30# limbs, knowing I can move up if and when need be. I doubt I will because it's not for hunting. I'll be able to make things simple when I shoot 3D with my 10 year old student I'm coaching. Shots will be no more than 25 yards for her so I figured why not just shoot with her.
If I were you I'd take down some names here. If you'd ever need new limbs these guys might be willing to sell you some.

Like others stated, start out light to get your form right, then you can work up in weight. I started shooting a 28# Bear Tartar(1968) last Spring, just moved up to a 40# X-200 and I'm can shoot it with ease and good form; would have been difficult trying to learn with it.
Recurves: 40lb X-200, 45 & 50lb Hunters, 45lb Mamba
start lightish and enjoy shooting the single string
i shoot barebow compound, a martin mystic 37#, mostly 3d but some field also.
have been playing with barebow recurve and trad a bit in the last year. started very light. have always shot fingers so no problem, i use the same finger tab, same anchor.
so i'm now also shooting a hoyt eclipse riser with kaya k3 short 30# limbs. unsighted. shoot indoors with this one.
with a 25 inch draw length, this most likely gives me about 24# on the fingers.
i also shoot a 30# samick sage with timbers and feathers off the shelf at traditional type 3d events. the most fun of all.
Very good advice from everyone. I thought I'd throw in my two cents also. As stated everyone is different, but from experience I do know you'll need to go lighter weight on any traditional bow to feel comfortable. There are more things also to consider when choosing a traditional bow, recurve or longbow. Are you planning on shooting purely instinctive or are you planning on using a sight? When you look at trad bows the draw weight will be measured at a specific draw length, like 45# @ 28". Obviously if your draw length is greater your draw poundage will be greater and lower if less. Are you planning on eventually hunting with it and what type of hunting?
I have a recurve that I have setup strictly for shooting fish. It's rated at 45# @ 28". I'm drawing 28" and have a sight on it. I also have it setup with the rubber rollers on the string so that I don't have to use a glove or tabs. I can hold this bow at full draw for quite some time, but with this setup I am quicker at the shot than I can be with a compound bow setup for fishing. I used to deer hunt with this bow.
I also have a longbow that I am pulling 55#. I have this one setup bare, shooting off my hand as a shelf and completely instinctive. Great bow for small game and deer, but I can not hold this bow at full draw for very long. It is more like draw, get on target and release.
Until this year I always drew 70# with my compounds. My newest is set at 58#, I just decided that I really don't need to be pulling back that much weight and I'm not getting any younger. Thankfully I have never had any back or shoulder problems.
Shooting bows is just pure fun!
Thanks for all the input. Friend has 5 Traditional bows and said he let me try any of them from 30-45lbs. (PONDAGE) is shooting a bow under water where you can pull more weight

With the bankruptcy of the YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee, the affiliated West Suburban YMCA in Wauwatosa could soon change hands.
The YMCA of Central Waukesha County, based in the city of Waukesha, has a letter of intent to purchase the site, though financial details have yet to be finalized.

Hartland plan commission talks Capitol Plaza redevelopment possibilities
Village of Hartland - Transformation of most of the land at Capitol Plaza, between Lawn Street and E. Capitold Drive, into three, sizable high-end apartment complexes -- called the River Walk apartments -- had plan commissioners and some residents abuzz.
The village plan commission and architectural review board on Monday, Oct. 20, discussed the project with developer Joe McCormick, and the conversation assuaged some previous concerns about the proposal but raised others.
The River Walk apartment project, if approved, would mark one of the most significant real estate developments in the village's history.
Commissioners took no action on the proposed development Monday and instead listened to a progress report from McCormick. The item was listed on the meeting's agenda for review purposes only.
According to a staff memo, the project would involve the construction of two new residential buildings, housing a total of 74 apartments, and the addition of a second floor (for 15 more apartments) to be built atop the existing commercial space on site.» Read Full Article
Federal agents arrest former foreclosure king Todd Brunner
Todd Brunner, the onetime local king of foreclosures, a federal judge Monday afternoon ordered him and his son released on bond.Nearly eight hours after federal agents broke down his front door and arrested
A warrant for the Brunners' arrest on charges of bank fraud and bankruptcy fraud had been issued Friday after a federal prosecutor said they were dodging marshals who last week tried repeatedly to serve them with a summons to appear for arraignment.
Authorities allege that Todd Brunner, 57, and his son, Shawn, 24, hid assets from the bankruptcy court and that Todd Brunner tried to conceal more than $7 million in assets from lenders. Todd Brunner filed for bankruptcy in 2011 after the collapse of his business, which he built by buying, selling and renting out hundreds of foreclosed properties throughout southeastern Wisconsin.
About 6:45 a.m. Monday, more than a dozen heavily armed agents and officers from the U.S. Marshals Service, Waukesha County Sheriff's Department, Pewaukee police and FBI stormed the Brunners' spacious home near Pewaukee Lake, arresting them both.
The marshals broke down the front door of the two-story home after repeatedly banging on the door and shouting "U.S. Marshals. We have a warrant. Open the door or we are going to kick it in."» Read Full Article
