Back on Main street Baker City we found some nice little shops, a good coffee stop and in the local branch of the US Bank - in a wooden display cabinet - the Armstrong 5 pound gold nugget found in 1913 in the now ghost town of Susanville in Oregon. This is worth over $100,000 today and it didn't seem to be under any particular security! There was a nice little display to go with it and it was a pretty impressive lump of gold.

Ribbon Cut on Danbury Forest Drive Trail in Springfield
On Saturday, October 29, 2016, officials and community members cut the ribbon on the Lake Accotink Park Danbury Forest Drive Trail in Springfield, Virginia. This new $104,000 trail is part of the very popular Lake Accotink Loop trail and is designed to enhance safety for users. The eight-foot-wide asphalt trail runs for 270 linear feet and replaces an old trail that was narrow, steep and in extremely poor condition. The Fairfax County Park Authority project was designed in cooperation with the Danbury Forest Community Association and built by McGee Civil Construction, LLC, of Purcellville, Virginia. Funding was provided by the 2012 Park Bond. Required easements for the project were provided by the Danbury Forest Community Association.
Pictured among the community members, left to right: Sean Roberts, Danbury Forest Civic Association; Anthony Vellucci, Braddock District Representative, Fairfax County Park Authority Board; Kelly McGee, Owner, McGee Civil Construction, LLC; Sharon Bulova, Chairman, Fairfax County Board of Supervisors; David Bowden, Director of Planning and Development, Fairfax County Park Authority; Frank Divita, President, Danbury Forest Civic Association; Ed Richardson, Area 4 Manager, Fairfax County Park Authority; Kirk Kincannon, Director, Fairfax County Park Authority; John C.

Ribbon Cut on Upgraded Baseball Complex at Trailside Park
On Saturday, October 22, 2016, Central Springfield Little League (CSLL) organizers, public officials, players and members of the public gathered at Trailside Park to celebrate the recent improvements to the baseball complex, which now meets the requirements of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), as well as current athletic field standards.
The $370,860 improvement project included demolishing existing dugouts and bleacher pads and the construction of new accessible dugouts and bleacher pads at the diamond fields. Fencing and backstops also were replaced to meet ADA requirements. In addition, the project included repaving of the asphalt drive lanes and parking areas to ensure accessibility to the park facilities and correction of the drainage problems.
CSLL, the park's primary user group, provided $39,200 which included a $19,200 grant from Little League Baseball to help fund the upgrades. The Park Authority provided a $20,000 Mastenbrook Grant to match the funds contributed by CSLL for the project.

Local Players Head to the U.S. National FootGolf Championship
The American FootGolf League (AFGL) U.S. National Championship held its Virginia Regional Championship Tournament at Pinecrest Golf Course earlier this month.
The tournament was made up of the top 30 percent of players who played in the Virginia Regional Qualifier in August, also held at Pinecrest, attracting nearly 70 registrants – making it one of the largest in attendance nationwide.
Father and son duo John and Stephen Jordan from Fairfax County took the first place titles in the Men's and Senior divisions in the tournament and will move on to represent the Virginia Region at the AFGL U.S. National Championship, held in November at Desert Willow Golf Resort in Palm Desert, California.
"Soccer and golf are two of my all-time favorite sports, the combo lends itself to fun with family and friends," said John Jordan.
FootGolf, which is played on a traditional golf course, involves the kicking of a soccer ball down the fairway of the course, with the intention, similar to golf, of reaching the hole in as few "strokes" (kicks) as possible. In FootGolf, the hole is increased to 21" in diameter in order to accommodate a regulation soccer ball.
The hybrid sport is growing in popularity across the nation, "AFGL has worked for the last four years to create a network of nearly 500 FootGolf courses in the United States," said U.S. National Championship Director Julia Barajas, "and the National Championship is the next logical step in the growth of the sport and its integration into the competitive sports landscape."
FootGolf is available at Pinecrest Golf Course, Saturdays and Sundays beginning at 1:30 p.m.
For more details on FootGolf, the American FootGolf League, and the U.S. National Championship, please visit www.footgolf.us or call Julia Barajas at 760-501-0100 ext. 135.
Pinecrest Golf Course is operated by the Fairfax County Park Authority. For more info or to reserve a tee time, visit online at Pinecrest FootGolf or call 703-941-1061. Pinecrest Golf Course is located at 6600 Little River Turnpike in Alexandria, Va.
Discovery Trail Map Winners Receive New Bikes and Park Passes
On October 7, 2016, the grand prize winners of the Fairfax County Park Authority's 2016 Discovery Trail Map contest received new bicycles and a prize pack full of tickets to park amusements.
Discovery Trail Maps encourage children to visit multiple parks throughout the Fairfax County park system each summer. Those who get stamps from eight or more of the 12 sites featured on the maps may be entered into the bicycle drawing. In this presidential election year, the map highlighted park sites with a connection to the nation's presidents.
This year's grand prize winners were selected in a drawing from 657 finalists. The prize-winners pictured left to right are Luke Ewell, 10, of Washington, D.C.; Orson Matheson, 3, of Falls Church; and Maya Raza, 10, of Springfield. They are posing with Joseph Chaale, manager of Spokes, Etc. in Fairfax, which donated the bicycles and safety helmets through the Fairfax County Park Foundation. The ticket prize packs for park amusements are valued at $93.
"The Pines" Honored at Historic Marker Dedication
Community members, officials and families who once called "The Pines" home came together to unveil a historic marker at Pine Ridge Park on Saturday, October 15, 2016. "The Pines" was once a close-knit African-American community in Annandale. The 1960s brought significant social change to Fairfax County, and when this land was purchased through eminent domain to provide property for a school, members of this community were scattered. Today, many from "The Pines" still remain connected to the land.
The marker stands at the entrance to Pine Ridge Park located at 3401 Woodburn Road in Annandale. This popular Fairfax County Park Authority facility provides gardens and athletic fields for countless residents' use. The park's 42 acres provide a recreational oasis of sorts in a busy neighborhood. However, for some African-American families, "The Pines" brings back both warm family memories from their youth and a sense of loss at the dissolution of their community. The Johnson, Robinson, Sprigg and Collins families were the first to purchase lots, and they cleared pine trees to enable truck farming and saw mill operations. Residents created a vibrant community and many worshiped at First Baptist Church of Merrifield, taking part in school functions and social gatherings. Next to the park is the Liberty Lodge Cemetery, where church members are buried.
The new marker chronicles the history of the land noting, "In the 1960s, during a period of school desegregation and population growth, the public school system purchased land through eminent domain, which displaced numerous families living in The Pines. A school was never built."
Pictured: (Seated right to left, front row) Avonjeanette Hill and Shirley Robinson, former residents of "The Pines."

New Bicycle Facility Opens at Lake Fairfax Park
On Saturday, October 8, 2016, local officials, community members and biking enthusiasts gathered at Lake Fairfax Park to cut the ribbon on the Fairfax County Park Authority's newest bicycling facility – a pump track. Bikers of all ages will enjoy this new amenity, which is a small looping bicycle trail system that riders navigate by pumping with their arms and legs, rather than pedaling.
The track was developed and funded by the non-profit Mid-Atlantic Off Road Enthusiasts (MORE, Inc.), with significant contributions from The Bike Lane, and was designed and constructed by Elevated Trail Design, LLC. The project is also supported by the Fairfax County Park Foundation.

New Window to the Skies Celebrated at Observatory Park
Local officials, donors, staff and members of the public gathered in Great Falls, Va. on Saturday, October 1, 2016 to celebrate the opening of the new roll-top observatory at Observatory Park at Turner Farm. Despite the rain, a ribbon was cut outside the new facility, which will offer the public a chance to explore the night sky through permanently mounted telescopes.
Initiated in 2007 in collaboration with the Analemma Society, the million-dollar facility was funded in part by the 2008 and 2012 Park Bonds, telecommunications funds, Mastenbrook grant money and a generous donation provided by Jean and Ric Edelman through the Fairfax County Park Foundation. The facility was designed by Shaffer Wilson Sarver & Gray of Herndon, Va. and constructed by Brown and Root of Arlington, Va.

County Residents Celebrate National Public Lands Day
Volunteers from the community and county officials turned out at Nottoway Park to mark National Public Lands Day on Saturday, September 24, 2016. Following brief remarks, the group removed invasive plants from the park, part of an event on the calendar of the Fairfax County Park Authority's Invasive Management Area (IMA) program. Hundreds of volunteers have given thousands of hours to IMA this year to protect parks.
National Public Lands Day works to connect people to public lands in their community, inspire environmental stewardship, and encourage use of public lands for education, recreation, and general health. Tens of thousands of people work on projects throughout the nation. Projects include pulling invasive species, maintaining trails, picking up trash, and many others.
Pictured left to right among the volunteers are:

Fairfax History Celebrated at Oak Hill Mansion
On Saturday, September 24, 2016, community members, local historians and public officials met at Oak Hill Mansion in Annandale to celebrate Fairfax County history. The annual open house drew a large crowd eager to walk the grounds, tour the privately-owned home, see reenactors, and listen to brief remarks. Historic Oak Hill is an 18th-century Georgian-style home, and is all that remains of the Ravensworth Tract – once totaling more than 22,000 acres – dating from the 1670s. The house itself was built in 1790 by Richard Fitzhugh, the great grandson of William Fitzhugh, who originally established the tract. The landscaping of the property features 200-year-old boxwoods which line what was the original drive to the house.
In 2004, a historic and conservation easement which protects the property and the house was agreed to by Seville Homes, the Northern Virginia Conservation Trust, the Fairfax County Park Authority and the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. As part of the agreement, the owners open the property and the first floor of the home up to the public on occasion.
Pictured, left to right: Todd Blincoe, descendent of Richard Fitzhugh; Braddock District Supervisor John Cook; Chairman of the Board of Supervisors Sharon Bulova; Bernice Watt Montgomery, who was born at Oak Hill in 1925; and Amanda and David Scheetz, current owners of Oak Hill Mansion.
Ribbon Cutting Marks Replacement of Fitness Equipment at Royal Lake
Members of the community joined Park Authority representatives, project team members, as well as officials at a ribbon cutting for the new fitness equipment at Royal Lake Park on Saturday, September 10, 2016. After the ribbon cutting, a community barbeque was held at the park.
The Friends of Royal Lake, working with both the Fairfax County Park Authority and the Fairfax County Park Foundation, raised nearly $14,000 to have the new outdoor fitness equipment installed, replacing aging equipment that had fallen into disrepair. This effort supports both the county's Partnership for a Healthier Fairfax (PFHF) and the Aging In Place program for seniors. The new equipment includes chin-up bars, parallel bars, a rock climbing wall and more.

Conn's Ferry Crossing Historic Marker Dedicated on Aug. 27
This past weekend, a crowd gathered on the bank of the Potomac River at Riverbend Park to mark the anniversary of President James Madison's river crossing at Conn's Ferry during the War of 1812. Local officials and members of the public dedicated a new historic marker on the river's edge honoring this important moment in our nation's history.
Following the defeat of American forces at Bladensburg, Maryland on August 24, 1814, a small British force marched into the capital city and set it ablaze. President Madison, his wife Dolley, and Secretary of State James Monroe escaped into the Virginia countryside, each taking different routes. Eventually, after a raging river and thunderstorms delayed the President's crossing of the Potomac River, he rode the ferry back to the Maryland side on August 26th.

Terri Kelly, Food Pantry Coordinator at Western Fairfax Christian Ministries (WFCM), received almost 1,000 pounds of canned and boxed food donated by the Fairfax County Park Authority's Rec-PAC participants as a part of Rec-PAC Gives Back Week. WFCM shelves are often a little bare in August and the donations from Rec-PAC kids and families, many from low-income homes themselves, provides much-needed support to families in need in Fairfax. Rec-PAC (Pretty Awesome Children) is a six-week structured recreation program with emphasis on leisure skills designed for elementary school children.

Eakin Trust Supports Local Parks; New Picnic Shelter Funded
Tim Eakin Walsh presented a check on behalf of the Eakin Park Trust in the amount of $69,795.15 to Bruce McLeod, Chair of the Fairfax County Park Foundation, Park Authority and Foundation board members and key staff.

This gift will fund a new 20-foot-by-30-foot picnic shelter pavilion at the Tobin Road entrance of Eakin Community Park near the ball fields.

The Eakin family members hope to encourage other families to leave a legacy in Fairfax County parks.
South County Middle School Field Opening Celebrated
On June 18, 2016, a ribbon cutting was held for the new synthetic turf field at South County Middle School. This $2.6 million project was completed in partnership with the Fairfax County Park Authority and Fairfax County Public Schools. The project was conceived to replace an existing 90-foot diamond field in the community and resulted in the development of a lighted synthetic turf 90-foot diamond and a separate full-sized lighted synthetic turf rectangular field.

Ribbon Cut at Gum Springs Outdoor Fitness Gym
Members of the community joined Park Authority representatives, project team members, as well as officials at a ribbon cutting for the new Outdoor Fitness Gym at Gum Springs Community Center on Saturday, June 18, 2016.
Outdoor fitness gyms provide high-quality exercise equipment similar to what is found in an indoor fitness center, but the equipment is located outdoors and is free for the public to use during daylight hours. Equipment is grouped together and designed to make exercise fun and social to encourage users to work out longer and more often to improve their fitness and health.
This new fitness spot in Gum Springs was built by the Fairfax County Park Authority in partnership with the Department of Neighborhood and Community Services. Partial funding was provided by a grant submitted by the Fairfax County Park Foundation from Greenfields Outdoor Fitness.

Ribbon Cut at Lincolnia Park Outdoor Fitness Gym
Members of the community joined Park Authority representatives, project team members, as well as officials at a ribbon cutting for the new Outdoor Fitness Gym at Lincolnia Park on Saturday, June 4, 2016.
Outdoor fitness gyms provide high-quality exercise equipment similar to what is found in an indoor fitness center, but the equipment is located outdoors and is free for the public to use during daylight hours. Equipment is grouped together and designed to make exercise fun and social to encourage users to work out longer and more often to improve their fitness and health.
The outdoor gym at Lincolnia Park is designed to be used by park visitors ages 14 and older and is suitable for all fitness levels. This outdoor fitness equipment provides a complete workout to build muscle strength, improve flexibility and balance, enhance core strength and provide cardio benefits. It can be used by several people at a time to encourage a social atmosphere and allow families to exercise together. The facility also includes equipment that is specially adapted for wheelchair users.
Lincolnia's new outdoor gym replaces 30-year old fitness trail equipment in the park and was financed in part by a grant submitted by the Fairfax County Park Foundation from Greenfields Outdoor Fitness.

National Trails Day® Celebrated on Cross County Trail
Local officials, staff and members of the public celebrated the American Hiking Society's National Trails Day® on Saturday, June 4, 2016, with brief remarks by local officials and a short hike in Lake Accotink Park on recently completed improvements to the Gerry Connolly Cross County Trail (GCCCT).
Supervisor John C. Cook (Braddock), Park Board Member Anthony Vellucci (Braddock) and Lakefront Parks Supervisor Chris Goldbecker spoke of the importance of our trail network and about the recent work done on the GCCCT. A recent Needs Assessment survey found that residents consider trails to be the most important recreational facility provided by the Park Authority. This GCCCT project included paving 5,840 linear feet of gravel trail, replacement of ten existing corrugated metal pipe culverts, removal of an existing wooden bridge and the replacement of that bridge with a durable fiberglass model, as well as invasive plant management for areas that were disturbed during the construction.

New Walkway Improves Pedestrian Access to Spring Hill RECenter
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on April 21, 2016, to celebrate completion of a new walkway across the traffic island located at the intersection of Spring Hill Road and Lewinsville Road in McLean, Virginia.
The intersection is one of the busiest in McLean -- blocks from Tysons and abutting both the Spring Hill RECenter and Spring Hill Elementary School -- and the absence of a walkway on the traffic island has long been a safety obstacle. The traffic island was previously owned by Dominion Virginia Power. It deeded the property to Fairfax County without compensation, allowing the new walkway to be built.
"Completion of the new trail connection is a wonderful improvement that provides safe pedestrian access to the RECenter from the surrounding communities," said Marcellous Cooper, Manager of the Spring Hill RECenter.

Earth Day Ceremony Marks Unveiling of LEED Designation
On Earth Day, Providence District Supervisor Linda Smyth, Park Authority Board Vice Chairman Ken Quincy, and Director of Park Planning and Development David Bowden joined with RECenter staff to unveil the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED® Silver Designation plaque at Oak Marr RECenter in Oakton, Va. This achievement caps one of the Park Authority's newest building expansions, and highlights the agency's commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship in all aspects of our growing park system.
LEED, or Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, is a green building certification program that recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices. To receive LEED certification, building projects must satisfy numerous environmental prerequisites.
The 12,500 square-foot addition at Oak Marr features such sustainable design elements as:
- A white-colored roof membrane, energy efficient and controllable HVAC equipment, energy efficient building insulation, low emissive glazing and LED lighting combined with occupancy sensors that contribute to an approximate 22 percent energy usage reduction.
- Water-efficient landscaping through the use of native or adaptive species that save water by requiring no additional irrigation once established.
- A bio-retention facility that cleans storm water runoff.
In addition, approximately 20 percent of the materials used in the project came from recycled components. These features not only preserve natural resources and promote energy efficiency and conservation, they also yield cost savings to county taxpayers through reduced operating costs.

Exceptional Volunteers Honored at Ellanor C. Lawrence
Ellanor C. Lawrence Park honored three of its volunteers with a reception at the Walney Visitor Center on February 26, 2016.
Volunteer beekeeper and Chantilly resident David Gnilka received the Donald F. Early Award for his year-round efforts to help maintain the park's hive and keep the bees healthy. As a boy, Gnilka helped his father keep bees. He renewed his interest in beekeeping at Ellanor C. Lawrence Park (ECLP) after his retirement. Gnilka purchased his own veil, hive tools and smoker, and has pitched in by cleaning, repairing and painting, donating his own paint and sander. When the hive was producing, he even helped fill and label the park's very own honey bears to sell in the gift shop. The award was named for Donald F. Early, who had been a volunteer beekeeper at the park from 1988-1992.
Jill Chestnut of Chantilly and Amanda Kronimus of Centreville received Very Important Volunteer honors. Chestnut, who was unable to attend the ceremony, was credited with growing the park's Kid's Korner program and praised for maintaining high quality school programs. Kronimus, a student volunteer, was praised for her work as an animal caregiver and junior park naturalist. She was cited for her dedication and a can-do attitude. Sully District's new representative to the Park Board, Maggie Godbold, was on hand to congratulate the volunteers and thank them for their efforts.

Groundbreaking Celebration Held at McNaughton Fields
About 50 people, many proudly sporting Woodlawn Little League (WLL) ball caps, attended the groundbreaking ceremonies on Saturday, January 30, 2016 for the major renovation of the baseball fields at McNaughton Park in Alexandria, Virginia.
Next to towering mounds of snow, public officials, little league players, parents and coaches raised steaming cups of coffee and hot chocolate to celebrate the impending upgrade of fields that have been used by Woodlawn Little League since the 1960s. Speakers included Mount Vernon District Supervisor Daniel G. Storck, Park Authority Board Member Linwood Gorham (Mount Vernon), President of the Woodlawn Little League Dennis Dunn, and Virginia State Senator Scott A. Surovell.
Work will include the demolition of the four existing fields and facilities, site re-grading and construction of four new lighted and irrigated diamond fields – a 90-foot diamond, one 60/70-foot diamond with a grass infield, one 60/70 diamond with a skinned infield and one 60-foot diamond with a skinned infield. Amenities will include covered dugouts, bullpens, batting cages, bleachers and fencing. A 173-space parking lot will also be added.
Utility connections will also be provided for future restrooms and a concession stand. This will allow for a Park Authority partnership with WLL for construction of these additional facilities when funding becomes available. Work is expected to be completed by December 2016 with the fields reopening for play in April 2017.

Destination of the week: Venetian tax dodge
As The Independent reported last week, Venice has imposed a tax of up to €10 per double room per night. A good way to avoid the new charge is to base yourself on the long peninsula known as Lido de Jesolo, on the mainland – and accessible from the main airport, Marco Polo, with frequent buses for a fare of €3.50.
A hotel here – such as the excellent four-star Hotel Victoria Prestige at Via Padova 79 (00 39 04 21 371 100; victoriaprestige.com) – allows you to dip in to the city during the course of a beach holiday. A bus-and-boat connection gets you to Venice, via some of the lagoon's loveliest islands, Murano and Burano.
Warning of the week: No fly? No frills
Last weekend, thousands of British travellers were stranded on the wrong side of the Atlantic when airports were closed and flights cancelled ahead of Hurricane Irene.
Passengers booked on EU airlines are entitled to meals and accommodation until they can be flown home. However, Virgin Atlantic has a strict assessment about what constitutes a duty of care.
Travellers who make their own accommodation arrangements are expected to choose a "no-frills/express-type hotel". Passengers travelling alone on a single booking are allowed a hotel room for themselves, but otherwise Virgin insists upon "a minimum of two people sharing one room", which could place in close proxmity work colleagues who happen to be travelling on the same reservation.
Virgin Atlantic will also count your calories. It will accept claims for "breakfast (if it has not been included at the hotel) followed by one snack and one main meal per person per day, plus approximately six regular soft drinks or beverages per person per day".
Bargain of the week: Fly cheaper from Heathrow
BMI (08448 484 888; flybmi.com) has joined the airlines' September sales party with fare cuts from its hub at Heathrow to enticing winter hotspots. Book by 20 September and travel between November and March for fares starting at £98 return to Nice (below), £149 to Marrakech, £189 to Agadir and £338 to Amman.
Tip of the week: Ryanair relaxes
For the past two years, Europe's biggest low-cost airline has insisted that passengers check in online and print their own boarding passes. That policy continues, with a £40 fee for having a boarding pass issued at the airport. But the other element – that you could not amend a booking once checked in – has been relaxed. Ryanair will now allow you to "uncheck" for a fee of £15: you must call the airline (0871 246 0000) to do this, but once you are unchecked you can go to the "manage my booking" section of the website and change dates or names – subject to further fees.

Take a Step Back – Robert Tronge (tags)
I'm sure we've all heard the statement "walk a mile in his shoes", but how many people are actually willing to step outside of their comfort zone and do this for a real. Most people are unwilling to see the other person's point of view, especially when it violates their concept of right and wrong, whether that view of right or wrong is based on past experiences, ethnic, cultural, religious believes or outright bigotry.
How to cool your house without Air-conditioning by Robert Tronge (tags)
One way to cool your house is to use a ventilating fan which can cool an entire house or even a single room. The benefits are that it does this at a fraction of the cost which can save Robert Tronge some money. Not like osculating fans, that just move air around, vent fans push hot air outside while pulling cool air inside. Using the windows you can direct the air flow to which room you wish. Types of fans include Attic fans that are permanent, but are the most powerful. Windows fans that adjust to your window. Box fans that can be moved easily. According to Robert George Tronge to pick the right fan you need to measure how many cubic feet of air that you need to pull. For example: a room 25 feet by 12 feet with an eight foot ceiling contains 2,300 cubic feet of air/ Multiply this by 1/3 gives a CFM ratting of 785 in which the fan needs to move.

Welcome To The Creative Community For Peace We represent a cross section of the creative world--those who create and help create music, films, and television programs--and their fans. We may not all share the same politics or the same opinion on the best path to peace in the Middle East. But we do agree that singling out Israel, the only democracy in the region, as a target of cultural boycotts while ignoring the now-recognized human rights issues of her neighbors will not further peace. We understand the power that our music, our films, our television shows, and all arts have. They have the power to build bridges. Foster better understanding. Encourage dialogue. And hopefully lead toward greater mutual acceptance. If anything, turn up the music, expose more of our films and television shows to wider audiences, and encourage people from all cultures to interact and build greater dialogue and understanding. If you support the message that the arts can build bridges—please join us in this important mission. The world might just be a better place for it.

Report: Israel May Have Dropped Uranium-Based Bombs in Lebanon (tags)
Report: Israel May Have Dropped Uranium-Based Bombs in Lebanon British journalist Robert Fisk is reporting that Israel may have dropped uranium-based munitions on targets during its war against Lebanon. A leading British scientist has found that soil samples in Lebanon show elevated radiation and the concentration of uranium isotopes. According to the scientist, Dr. Chris Busby, there are two possible reasons for the contamination. Israel might have dropped a small experimental nuclear fission device or Israel used a bunker-busting conventional uranium bomb that employed enriched uranium. Robert Fisk reports that a photograph of one explosion shows large clouds of black smoke that might result from burning uranium. Israel has denied the report. However, last week the Israeli military admitted for the first time that it had dropped phosphorous bombs on Lebanon.

Today Bush says he will fire for convictions, not mere leaks. The consensus of lawyers is that Karl Rove will be indicted in the Valerie Plame outing case -- and not for what you think. Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald appears to have a slam-dunk case under Title 18, Sec. 641, USC (which is NOT about outing a covert agent) just as the DOJ did for leaker Jonathan Randel, who got a year in prison. Karl Rove was abandoned by both of his parents -- the man he called Dad left home, Rove found out "Dad" wasn't his father after all (his aunt and uncle "outed" this at the dinner table), and his mother committed suicide.

about Kathy Tangney
Tong Ren Healing
Celtic Letters
Watercolor Paintings
Kathy Tangney, my bio:
I belong to the Merrimack River Painters, Manchester Artists Association, Womens' Caucus for Art and Tong Ren Healing Practitioners. The Art groups give me the opportunity to paint, learn, grow and exhibit my paintings all over the country. While the Tong Ren healing group keeps me healthy, optimistic and able to enjoy an active lifestyle.
My watercolors are bold and full of the emotion I was feeling while painting. I paint most days, as my therapy of sorts. One day I may paint a wild ocean scene, the next a tranquil mill building; all the while incorporating elements of Art & design. I generally have 2 or 3 paintings of different sizes going at once. I've become confident in handling the tools of my trade; yet get excited because watercolors provide never ending surprises for me. It's been 30 years now using watercolors and I have to say I've gone from painting tight, small and controlled to loose, large, free and playful. I received my Art Education degree at Notre Dame, Manchester NH. I've taken many Art courses at New Hampshire Art Institute and continue to study with New Castle artist Dustan Knight. I visit Art museums and galleries frequently to enhance my artistic senses.
In 2008, I won Chico's 25th Anniversary Jacket Design Contest. Chico's made 25,000 of the jackets by copying my "Rose Peacock" watercolor painting for the fabric. As a result, the Boys & Girls Club of Manchester NH received $75,000, all of the sales proceeds!
For many years I taught Art in NH public schools, and currently offer workshops and private classes.
My watercolors are exhibited at:
Merrimack River Painters' Pop Up Gallery, Concord NH; Framers Market, Manchester NH; Sullivan Framing, Bedford NH; The Wine Studio, Manchester NH and various businesses in New England.
a Tong Ren Healer, I participate in Tong Ren group healing sessions in Quincy & Haverhill MA and Manchester, NH and
weekly Tong Ren open sessions.
Tom Tam who developed Tong Ren is truly changing worldwide healing! Tong Ren combines Eastern healing beautifully with Western diagnostic tools. I have been cured of multiple diseases, illnesses by "tappers" trained by Tom Tam. For more info see my Tong Ren page.
I was certified as a Tong Ren Healer by Tom Tam in Quincy MA in 2007 and again in 2013. We may be crazy, but not stupid! See
On Jan. 31, 2012 I was lucky enough to be a guest on Andrea Klim, Astrologist's, "Turn to the Stars" cable TV show. You can see my fun interview with Andrea at http://www.turntothestars.com/live-the-life.htm#interview
My motto is to love my work,
and work hard for what I love!

While you're starting in on your New Year's resolutions, opening up a new calendar, and packing up the holiday decorations, there's one more thing that college students and college-bound high school students should do each January. The Department of Education starts accepting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (more commonly known as "FAFSA") on January 1 each year. State application deadlines fall soon after—as early as February in some cases. So while you might not start classes until August or September, you want to start applying for financial aid as soon as the FAFSA is available each year. In order to complete a FAFSA, you will need the following: your social security number a driver's license if you have one bank statements and records of investments (if you have any) records of untaxed income (again, if you have any) your most recent tax return and W2s (2012 for the 2013-2014 FAFSA) all of the above for your parents if you are considered a dependent a PIN to sign electronically (go to pin.ed.gov to get one)And remember, there's no need to rely on expensive student loan options to pay for your college education. For more information on finding free scholarship money for college, conduct a Scholarships.com free college scholarship search today, then apply and win! It's that easy!

Watch as Diana recounts this woman's story and find out why she says her encounter with this fellow survivor helped her heal more than anything else.

ASN: Bardoxolone Methyl No Benefit in T2DM, Stage 4 CKD
November 11, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Bardoxolone methyl does not reduce the risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or cardiovascular death in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and stage 4 chronic kidney disease, according to a study published online Nov. 9 in the New England Journal of Medicine. This research was published to coincide with the annual meeting of the American Society of Nephrology (Kidney Week), held from Nov. 5 to 10 in Atlanta.
Dick de Zeeuw, M.D., Ph.D., from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, and colleagues randomized 2,185 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and stage 4 chronic kidney disease to receive bardoxolone methyl or placebo. Participants were followed for the primary composite outcome of ESRD or cardiovascular death.
On the recommendation of the independent data and safety monitoring committee, the trial was terminated early, with a median follow-up of nine months. The researchers found that the primary composite outcome occurred in 6 percent of the 1,088 patients assigned to bardoxolone methyl and 6 percent of the 1,097 assigned to placebo. Significantly more patients in the bardoxolone methyl group were hospitalized for or died from heart failure compared with the placebo group (96 versus 55 patients; hazard ratio, 1.83).
"Among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and stage 4 chronic kidney disease, bardoxolone methyl did not reduce the risk of ESRD or death from cardiovascular causes," the authors write.
The study was funded by Reata Pharmaceuticals, a manufacturer of bardoxolone methyl.

Good morning everyone,
Coming in a little late on this discussion but so far haven't seen any
mention of what I have used recently. A new product called Trounce and
although a bit pricey (one jug does not do all the hosta in the yard) it
does work. We've been hit really bad by climbing cutworms. Its promo
material says, "This highly effective natural, organic insecticide provides
broad spectrum control of a variety of insect pests including aphids,
whitefly, caterpillars and selected beetles. Unique formulation of
naturally derived fatty acids and pyrethrum. Concentrate. "
Then, of course, yesterday I found a leaf roller happily cocooned inside a
munched leaf of H. Red October. Will have to check to see if it works on
them, too.

Hydration To The Max!On a recent trip to visit my sister I tried this shampoo at the Gym in Miami. They had Theorie hair dryers and flat irons as well as Theorie shampoo, conditioner, and styling products to use free of charge. And Surprise, It wasn't the usual spa smelling, over promising products that you usually see trying to get promoted in these fancy pants salons. These were the real deal, professional products that worked well. I loved the shampoo and conditioner immediately fell in love with the fragrance and how my hair felt afterwards. After going on line I found them on folica and realized they were a lot less than expected.
I have been using my Theorie products for about 7 weeks now and couldn't imagine using anything else at this point. I do want to try the Grapefruit just to see how it compares to the Argan but I'm pretty addicted to my Theorie.Aug 13, 2014J A. / LAHAIR TYPEBlonde / Normal Hair

Flames are dancing in her wet brown eyes.
She chews her nails, her bottom lip bitten.
Those once playful eyes no longer glisten.
Sits before the log fire, hypnotised,
Trying to burn away the pain and cries.
Handicapped, she has just her heart to listen,
To the burning manifestation of imagination,
Sparks of memory and agonising sighs.
Tumbling down that dark abyss she hated,
Anguished faces loom, doctors tell.
She longed for sweets to be sedated,
As she fell down into the depths of hell.
Cancer. Since that moment she had waited
For bittersweet death, then darkness fell.

Cross-platform collaboration with Alfresco
Alfresco is an easy, flexible, and intuitive tool for collaboration and content sharing. This brief introduction just describes the basic facts. The best way to get to know Alfresco is to experiment – as you start to use Alfresco in a real-world setting, you'll begin to develop your own methods to employ it effectively within your workgroup.
Other Options
Alfresco manages content, and it therefore meets the definition for a Content Management System (CMS). However, Alfresco is different from other popular open source CMS options. A brief comparison with a pair of open source CMS alternatives will offer some clues about what makes Alfresco unique.
- WordPress – The WordPress CMS can be used to create a single site with lots of content, and WordPress is great for managing content on a single site. Alfresco, on the other hand, can create several logically different websites and help you manage content on all of the sites. WordPress allows you to quickly add content and publish it to your site. The WordPress option is generally suitable for bloggers, news sites, and other such use cases where user needs to get the content online in a hurry. Alfresco, on the other hand, takes things at bigger perspective. Along with content publishing, it supports user management, workflows, and other features. Another major difference is document management support. WordPress doesn't provide a document management service; the only support you get is for online content, whereas Alfresco provides an impressive out-of-the-box document management system.
- Joomla – The Joomla tool also lets you create single website but differs from WordPress in the way it lets you create a more complete site. Joomla has support for important features such as menu items and slide shows. Joomla would be a better choice if you wanted to build a full-fledged website for a service or product. With Joomla, you get a platform where you can do almost anything you want; however, it lacks the collaboration emphasis of Alfresco.
Alfresco is better suited for an internal website, where the emphasis is not on design or achieving a high traffic volume but is, instead, on managing activities and supporting interaction among team members.
