High rollers dropped big bills on everything from cars to yachts in September.
Someone even purchased an insanely expensive piece of jewelry on an iPhone app.
And strangely, several records for pricey booze were also set this month.
Very expensive piece of Beatles' memorabilia
An undisclosed buyer purchased a contract stipulating that The Beatles " not be required to perform in front of a segregated audience" at auction this month for $23,000.
The Beatles have a history of standing up for civil rights, and the gig in the document is a 1965 show in California that paid the group $40,000.
Most expensive bottle of cognac sold at auction
A 153-year-old Cuvée Léonie sold for a world-record price of 1 million RMB (US$156,740) at auction in Paris this month.
The bottle's history can be traced to an 1892 wedding dowry of Leon Croizet's, the firm founder, great-granddaughter.
Most expensive Enigma cipher machine sold at auction
A three-rotor Enigma Cipher machine sold for £133,250 (US $208,536) at a Christie's auction this month.
This set a world-record for the most-expensive one ever sold. An Engima machine is used for encryption and decryption of secret messages.
This was also one of the machines used in the 2001 film Enigma.
The most expensive wine lot sold this year.
A lot of Château Lafite-Rothschild wine sold for $539,280 at Christie's in Hong Kong this month.
The lot consisted of 300 bottles--25 from each year between 1981 and 2005, according to Forbes.
The most expensive Ligon work ever sold
Actress Jennifer Aniston and boyfriend Justin Theroux bought Glenn Ligon's "Stranger #44" at the charity auction "Artists For Haiti" this month.
The duo spent $450,000 for the piece, making it the most expensive Ligon ever sold. Four other pieces set records at the auction at Christie's New York hosted by Actor Ben Stiller and art dealer David Zwirner.
The most expensive single firearm ever sold at open auction
A Cali Paterson Colt revolver sold for $977,500 at auction this month, surpassing the previous record firearm auction price of $920,000, also for a Colt revolver.
The buyer was described as a "Silicon Valley mogul."
One of the most expensive bottles of whisky ever sold
A Chinese business man purchased a 62-year-old Dalmore from a duty free shop in the Singapore airport earlier this month.
He spent $194,000 for the bottle, which has been called "The Master of Spirits."
The most expensive mobile home in America
This Malibu mobile home in Paradise Cove sold for $2 million in cash this month. The real kicker is the $2 million only covered the house, not the land the mobile home sits on.
The sale is the most expensive for a mobile home this year, according to AOL Real Estate.
This beauty is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom 2,330 square foot movable home.
Extremely expensive purchase via iPhone app
Blue Nile announced that one of its customers purchased a $300,000 diamond ring from its iPhone app.
"Large jewelry purchases, running from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars, via smartphones happen quite frequently," said John Baird, brand and corporate communications director for Blue Nile.
The 33rd largest yacht in the world
Kirsty Bertarelli, a songwriter and former Miss UK, and the richest woman in Britain, purchased the world's 33rd largest yacht for $100 million.
The ship features a helicopter landing pad, lavish guest cabins and four boats to carry passengers to shore. All that luxury took 200 craftsmen and two years to build.

Gee, it's been a while since Lindsay, Brianna, and I posted here!
Let's change that with an update on what we've been up to.
First off, the past couple weeks have been a mad dash to finish all of our pre-departure forms… i.e. insurance forms, passport photos, notarizing passports, and our lovely visa – the ticket into the golden goal of this trip that is Sydney, Australia. It's all definitely not as easy as petting a kangaroo, I'll give you that. But that's what keeps us on our toes! We all got a bit carried away with organizing ourselves and getting our paperwork in, so much so that we were creative in how we organized ourselves. Welcome to the Australia Wall in my room:
Looks a bit much, right? We couldn't even START on this stuff if this little checklist wasn't filled with the green check fairies.
So with all of that settled, tonight is our pre-departure meeting with our program director! We're going to learn our group flight info, what life in Sydney is reeeeeeeeeeeeally like (Does everyone have an awesome accent? Can we bring kangaroos into our apartments for overnight visits?), and everything else we could want to know about our impending experience.
Until then, I leave you all with something to get you as excited for our trip as we are. A trailer video I made for our video blog we'll make in addition to this one! Get excited, mates.
Talk to you guys soon!
Chris (Lindsay and Brianna, too, in spirit…they're all at work right now)

The sister of Princess Diana, Lady Sarah McCorquodale, is to open a memorial to Lincolnshire's road crash victims in Boston later this year.
Lady Sarah McCorquodale, who lives in the county and is a former High Sherriff for Lincolnshire, will visit Westgate Woods on Saturday, April 21, to officially open the memorial area in a poignant ceremony.
Diana, Princess of Wales, died following a car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997 at the age of 36.
A spokesman said that Lady Sarah had replied to a written invitation to open the memorial saying she would be delighted to do so.
The event follows a two-year fundraising campaign by a group of volunteers.
Campaign organiser Anne Bourne, of Boston, lost her daughter in a horrendous crash in which four people died and five children were left without their mothers.
Her other daughter was seriously injured.
She said: "It has been a long, hard slog and I couldn't have done it without all the support I have had from group members.
"We have been bowled over by the generosity we have received from those who have made donations and supported the fundraising events.
"We are all very grateful."
Organisers say the event will be 'a day of celebration of the lives of those remembered and not at all sad or mournful'.
Music and refreshments are planned for invited guests and supporters.
Lady Sarah will cut a ribbon to make public the memorial stone being crafted by sculptor James Sutton.
It will signal an end to the £45,000 fundraising campaign to provide a path through the woods to the memorial space so that anyone can access it.
Wild flowers inside an avenue of lime trees will border the pathway, which will have a stone finish in keeping with the natural look of the woodland area.
A wet oak shelter is to be constructed to one side of the path for quiet reflection and to remember all those who have died in tragic circumstance on county roads.
The Lakeland green slate memorial, suitably engraved with a dedication and symbolic footsteps, will be laid into the path.
Boston Woods Trust, which owns and manages the woodland on the outskirts of Boston, made the area available, alongside one of the avenues which all point towards Boston Stump in the distance.
The Trust successfully bid for a £10,000 Heritage Lottery Grant to help pay towards the cost of the path, with the memorial committee adding its contribution.
People can still make a donation by paying in to the Louise and Sarah Memorial Fund at Lloyds Bank, account number 01303486, sort code 30-91-04.
Anne also wants to hear from anyone who could lend a PA system for the unveiling and camping stoves for hot refreshments.
Anyone who wishes to help can call Anne on 01205 367892.
The campaign has been supported by Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership and Churches Together In All Lincolnshire.

When Should You Call a Medical Malpractice Attorney?
Have you been injured or misdiagnosed by your doctor? Or has your doctor failed to give you the right medical standard of care that you need? These are the types of questions you should ask yourself when thinking of filing for charges for medical malpractice. But the main question you need to answer is this: What exactly falls under medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice is defined as cases filed by patients who have been harmed or injured due to poor medical treatment or having been given a wrong diagnosis from their medical provider. This can be a doctor, nurse, technician, or any hospital or medical worker.
It can also be defined as an instance when a healthcare provider deviates from the "standard of care" when treating a patient. It means your medical provider causes you injury or further illness, gives you a misdiagnosis of your ailment, gives you the wrong prescriptions or other medications, or has not properly informed you of all the possible risks or consequences of the prescribed treatment plan.
Before filing anything
Now if you have identified your situation as a case of malpractice, there are a few things that you can do before you hire a medical malpractice attorney in Oklahoma to handle your case, says Little Oliver Gallagher PLLC.
First, go to your doctor or medical provider who has done you wrong. The goal in doing this is to understand what exactly went wrong in your treatment and know if your physician can still remedy things between the two of you without having to incur you additional medical charges.
If this does not work, approaching the relevant people who can make a difference is your next step. It may be the medical board, their superior officers, or upper management. They can be the ones to take the necessary actions in the discipline of the medical provider and can give you guidance as to what to do after all this.
But if going to their superiors do not work, now is the time to call an attorney.
Getting your case taken by an attorney
Usually, a medical assessment to see if your claim has merit is one of the first things any medical malpractice lawyer will ask of you. So it is a good idea to get that before contacting one.
When you go and meet with your attorney, be sure that you are still within the timeframe where you can still file a case and lay out all your medical history and exactly what happened to you. From there, your attorney will be able to advise you on everything you need to know and do moving forward.
Take note that cases like these go on for long periods and you have to be determined to see things through for you to get a case going.

"Germans might as well load much of their auto exports headed to eurozone countries on to a boat and sink it outside of Hamburg. It would do as much good as selling Audis in exchange for IOUs issued by bankrupt countries."Mr. Gave goes on to point out the the ECB's TARGET2 balances continue to increase. TARGET2 is an accounting fiction at the ECB whereby bank deposits in deficit countries do not have to fund deposits that their customers transferred to more responsible banks in more responsible countries. They simply get to carry a gigantic overdraft balance at the ECB. The responsible nations carry a credit balance that is unfunded. It is a backdoor bailout that few understand. As of the end of August the Bundesbank's (Germany's central bank) TARGET2 credit balance stood at 573 billion euros. That is money that is owed Germany by the ECB. It represents nothing substantial, not even mostly worthless Greek bonds. Yet Germany continues to deny that it is being robbed by the rest of Europe via the misconstructed European Monetary Union. It has better wake up before its economy is completely depleted of capital.

A BetClic Sportsbook player has filed a complaint.
\r\n\r\n
The player claimed that he registered with the online betting site a few weeks ago and made a £110 deposit.
\r\n\r\n
He placed his account balance on a single bet which lost before depositing again for £230.
\r\n\r\n
However, the player did not receive any bonus offers and had a change of heart and decided to request a cashout.
\r\n\r\n
BetClic meanwhile is not willing to allow the player a withdrawal due to not meeting the minimum turnover and is unwilling to grant the player early release. Online sportsbooks typically have a 1X rollover requirement in their rules though most will allow a player a withdrawal less the fees involved depending on the deposit method used.
\r\n\r\n
The player has stated he has already contacted the UK Gambling Commission over the situation. BetClic is obligated to abide by whatever decision the Commision makes in the case.

A musical, dramatic and literary event with connections throughout the Highlands and islands and beyond will take place on the evening of 29th January as part of this year's performances at Celtic Connections.
At 8pm at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow, a gathering of writers and musicians will pay tribute to the lasting influence of the original 'supertramp', Welsh poet WH Davies, and, in particular, his poem, 'Leisure', its well-known opening lines providing the title 'Stand and Stare' for the entire production.
Led by well-known Inverness musician, Liza Mulholland from the group, Dorec-a-belle, the musical element of the evening will also comprise a number of well-known individuals.
They contain such performers as Charlie McKerron from the band Capercaillie, Elephant Session's own Alasdair Taylor also from Inverness and – all the way from Canada – the musician Christine Hanson who has played at a number of similar events on both sides of the Atlantic.
They will be assisted in their endeavours by the wonderfully talented Gaelic singer, Kathleen Macinnes, whose voice has graced several TV programmes and even an occasional Hollywood film, such as 'Rob Roy', in the past few years.
On the literary side of the production, there will be the Welsh poet, Gillian Clarke who was – until recently – the National Poet for Wales and has been awarded the Queen's Medal for poetry. She has even been a guest on the famous BBC Radio 4 programme, 'Desert Island Discs'.
In addition, there is Ayrshire's Gerry Cambridge, known for his skills with the camera and harmonica, as well as his poetry and Donald S Murray, whose connections are both with his native isle of Lewis and his current residence in Shetland.
Part of his contribution links both these and other island groups, such as Orkney, the Inner Hebrides and those in the Firth of Clyde in a sequence that focuses on the ferry networks and the 'ships of fools' that travel back and forth there.
Among other talents on display are the acting abilities of David Walker from South Uist, one of the most gifted actors in Scotland, whether in Gaelic or English, Eileen Scott who grew up in Benbecula and the fabulous work of Doug Robertson whose illustrations form the backdrop to some of the poems.
"Stand and Stare will be a unique and dazzling blend of talents, a treat for the eye, ear, mind and heart," Liza Mulholland declared: "We hope as many as possible come on Sunday evening to the Royal Concert Hall to savour it."

SFM: Hey guys! Before we get to the new record, let's start by talking about some of the changes in the band. Matt, you are the new bassist and vocalist for Diamond Plate. How did you get this opportunity, and how are you enjoying being with the band?
Matt: I went to high school with Mario and he introduced me to the band. So far, it's been the highlight of my short life.
SFM: Earlier this year, guitarist Mario Cianci left the band. Konrad, do you prefer being the only guitar player live, or are you guys looking for another guitarist?
Konrad: Everyone in the band now is in it for the same reason - to create music. Because of that, the music the three of us create is more powerful than it has ever been. The power trio format gives everyone their own space and freedom musically.
SFM: "Pulse" came out in North America on August 20th, and is a fantastic release. Congratulations guys! How has the reception been so far?
Jim: From what we've seen the reviews have been really positive online. Touring will really help getting the album out there.
Konrad: People are connecting with the new songs a lot more than with the debut. We focused a lot more on the songs than ever before and creating an album that people can experience from start to finish.
SFM: The first thing I noticed about the album is how eclectic it is. "Pulse" can't be described as easily as a lot of other releases because there is so much diversity. Was this diversity one of the goals in writing the new record?
Jim: It wasn't really a goal, we just have a ton of different influences that naturally came out on this record. A lot has happened in the past few years and we had a lot to say as well.
Konrad: Most of the songs were inspired from jamming, and all of them contain us playing what we feel. We weren't aiming to be 'different' or 'diverse' - we wanted to create an album that takes the listener on a journey so naturally it has to have that diversity.
SFM: "Pulse" was the second record you did with Neil Kernon as producer. How did this experience differ from recording "Generation Why?"
Jim: It definitely took a lot longer to record, haha.
Konrad: On this album we wanted to capture the live essence of the band, and that's why we ditched the click track and editing of modern recording. At the same time, we worked harder than ever to make everything perfect and Neil pushed us to make the album that we've always wanted to make.
Matt: 'Pulse' has been my first professional recording experience ever. It was unlike anything I have ever done before.
SFM: Tell us a bit about the decision to release "Walking Backwards" as the first song from the record. Was this the band's decision, or Earache's?
Konrad: We always knew it would be the first song for people to hear from the new stuff. "Walking Backwards" is the opener for the album and we figured that's the best way to introduce 'Pulse' to people.
SFM: You guys will be going on tour soon with the legendary Death Angel (among other great bands). Death Angel is another band like yourselves that has a great deal of diversity within their music. What impact have they had on your songwriting, if any?
Konrad: We always respected Death Angel, because they were another band like us that was really young when they started. We're excited as hell to hit the road again, especially with those bands and with this being our first tour with Matt and 'Pulse.'
SFM: After the Death Angel tour, what is next for Diamond Plate? Have you guys had any offers to do some of the European festivals for next year?
Jim: The plan is to tour nonstop, and we're definitely hoping to get to Europe. It's been a long time coming!
SFM: The thrash resurgence of the past few years or so seems to be slowing down a bit (unfortunately). Have you guys noticed any differences in terms of turnout at shows, or merch sales or anything like that?
Konrad: We've always been the outsiders of that scene and have never wanted to fit into any trend. So the 'thrash resurgence' slowing down hasn't affected us at all. We've been writing and recording 'Pulse' for the past year, and we were completely focused on being ourselves and never once looked at what any other band was doing.
SFM: Do you have any last words for the fans out there?
See you on the road, keep your ears (and minds) open!
Be sure to check out and like Diamond Plate on Facebook!

Cruising Paradise
BVI is recognized the world over as the premier cruising grounds for winter yachtsmen. The short sails between islands grant ample opportunity for island exploration and the protected waters of Francis Drake Channel offer relaxing passages and calm anchorages. No trip would be complete without spending some time at the Baths, Coopers Island and Peters Island with some entertainment stops at local legends like Foxy's and the Bomba Shack.
The BVI's have long been a popular place to vacation due to its pristine beaches, dramatic coastlines and remote resorts. Our catamarans put kiteboarders on the best spots for any wind direction. Winter months bring strong trade winds with average winds being 20-25 mph. Throw in warm water and comfortable air temps and you have all the components for a premium kite fest. We make itinerary's up as we go but most all trips include sessions at Anegada, Virgin Gorda and Jost Van Dyke.
Other activities:
An abundance of wrecks, reefs, caves, sinkholes, ledges and canyons round out the BVI dive menu. An extensive mooring system allows us easy access to a dozens of world class dives right from our yacht. Several dive shops offer guided dives, certifications and resort courses. SKT can stock gear and tanks on board or pick it up for daily use. Dive depths are shallow to 80′ and the vis is generally over 100′.
For all the reasons the BVI is great for kiteboarding make it outstanding for sailing. A week on the water is a great introduction to sailing cruising catamarans and our Captains are happy to provide informal sailing instruction along the way. For those of you that would like more formal education and certification, we offer ASA courses taught onboard. Our fast-track bareboat course will take you from novice to skipper during the week. SKT offers ASA 101, 103 & 104 on our BVI trips.
Similar to diving BVI, there are many opportunities to view some spectacular sites from the surface. The reef at Anegada is a snorklers paradise with access right off the beach. The caves at Norman, the Indians, Virgin Gorda, Marina Cay and the RMS Rhone all easily accessed by snorkeling.
Most of the islands have trails to take advantage of some spectacular island views. Hike the 1000′ trail to the top of Jost Van Dyke for a panoramic.

After graduating from secretarial school, she married Murray G. Bain of Hyannis in 1952 and moved to Centerville. She worked as a middle school secretary for principal John Linehan for many years, later moving to the Barnstable High School as a secretary in the guidance office.
Raising two sons in Centerville, Mrs. Bain enjoyed cookouts on the beach, sailing, knitting and getting together with her many friends for lunch. She loved what she often called "Cape Cod" cooking and always made sure everyone had plenty to eat. She would cook up anything her family brought home from the sea, even the 22-pound striped bass she landed by marching up the beach with a fishing pole, an occurrence that soon became a favorite family story. Her family will miss this kind and gentle soul.
Predeceased by her husband Murray, Mrs. Bain is survived by her sister, Betty and husband Dick Rounds of White Oaks, VA, her son Robert J. Bain of Yarmouth, her son Peter M. Bain and wife Lin, of Dover and two grandsons, Peter and Will.

....."Then Robinton wants you to borrow a gitar. Master Jerint is sure to have a spare one usable in the workshop. You'll have to make your own, you know. Unless you made one for Petiron at the Sea Hold?"
"I had none of my own." Menolly was rlieved that she could keep her voice steady.
"But Petiron took his with him. Surely you..."
"I had use of it, yes." Menolly managed to keep her tone even as she rigidly suppreessed the memory of how she had lost the use, the beating her father had given her for forbidden tuning, playing her own songs. "I made myself pipes..." she added, diverting Silvina from further questions. Rummaging in her bundle, she brought out the multiple pipes she had made in her cave by the sea.
"Reeds? And done with a belt knife by the look of them," said Silvina, walking to the window for more light as she turned the pipes in a critical examination. "Well done for juust a belt knife." She reeturned the pipes to Menolly with an approving expression. "Petiron was a good teacher."
Have you ever made an instrument?

Smoking Healthy Made Possible With E Cigarette
The critical thing you will need know about any vape kit is it should be free of tobacco or tar or any such carcinogenic chemicals for that matter. With Fifty One, you can tell that what you are actually inhaling isn't a harmful thing. Assured by the brand to the website, Fifty One entirely free from harmful cancerous carcinogens. This acts as an important part among the whole safety matter.
E cigs are a new nicotine delivery system. Common sense would dictate that they could be especially effectively used as part of an overall smoking cessation program, exactly like the way nicotine gum, patches and inhalers are.
Some consumers are really desirous to quit. Of their desperation, they travel ahead make use of of the involving e-cigarettes. Believe me, employing idea heading to over the board, in a major way. The whole idea is having some form of fancy vape shop Melbourne within reach so that even after we put them in the mouth to smoke, we can't be using nicotine in the body. Actually the cigarette doesn't contain anything in this. It is just something areas fancy. This doesn't really solve the main problem. Does it?
With time, the awareness of electronic tobacco smoking has seeped into all walks of life. Like people in every professions even soldiers have started taking to e cigarettes smoking.

Smiling faces were seen on both humans and hounds as hundreds gathered across Ireland to celebrate and promote greyhounds as pets. Greyhound Rescue Association Ireland (GRAI) held their 8th annual Walk for Greyhounds in Farmleigh at Phoenix Park, Dublin, while a similar walk was organised simultaneously in Galway city. Held as part of the Great Global Greyhound Walk initiative, which this year saw several thousand hounds taking part on the same day around the world, the walks are aimed at informing the public about a breed often overlooked and misunderstood when considering a family pet.

Walk for Greyhounds in Dublin and Galway
This year we are expanding our annual Walk for Greyhounds to two locations, Dublin and Galway, on the same day, Sunday 10th June 2018. Growing on the success of our seven previous years of the Walk in Dublin, which in 2017 saw a huge turnout with hundreds of dogs, we are aiming to spread the word further by adding the Walk through Galway city, to help raise awareness of greyhounds as pets. Both Walks are part of the Great Global Greyhound Walks initiative which seeks to get thousands of greyhounds out walking around the world on the same day. Why not join us for a family-friendly, informal day out with fellow hound enthusiasts in whichever location is most convenient! Read more
Greyhound Exports and Traceabilty
20 July 2017
FURTHER RESEARCH INTO greyhound exports has highlighted yet another breach in record-keeping relating to exported Irish greyhounds. Greyhound Rescue Association Ireland is concerned, having discovered that a greyhound exported to Pakistan continues to be registered in the Irish Greyhound Stud Book to breeder/owner Seamus McCloskey – architect of the Limerick greyhound track.

Greyhounds from Ireland to Spain
A GREYHOUND born in 2012 named Barney Rubble is a perfect example of what can become of greyhounds, exported from Ireland, lucky enough to end up in a rescue centre abroad. Barney Rubble is still registered in the Irish Stud-Book under the name of the owner/breeder, Seamus McCloskey – a partner of Hamilton Architects who, amongst other tracks, designed the Limerick Greyhound Track, opened in 2010, which carries controversies of huge debts, and welfare concerns that led to a re-design of the first bend in 2014.

2015 Dog Control Figures
THE RECENTLY released dog control statistics from the Department of Environment, Community and Local Government show a fall in the number of greyhounds destroyed in dog pounds, compared to previous years. Two hundred and three greyhounds, bearing identification tattoos are listed as being destroyed in dog pounds in 2015. However, this does not indicate a rise in greyhounds being homed, or a fall in the number of greyhounds destroyed each year in Ireland. Read more

Putuo Shan
loading map...
- Summary
Located in the East China Sea (just off of the larger island of Zhoushan) is one of the four sacred mountains of Buddhism, Putuo Shan. Although a mere 297 meters (974 feet) above sea level, Putuo Shan's landscape is one of rocky escarpments, some nice, sandy beaches, and a collection of monasteries that line the low-lying ridges and valleys of this valuable pilgrimage site. Small enough to walk across within a few hours, Putuo Shan is still at least a full day's trip if you want a true sense of its mystique.
You may ascend the mountain to see the various pagodas and other religious sites or take the cable car to Huiji Monastery at the top. Shuttle buses also provide transportation between the temples, which can be useful if you aren't looking to foot it all day. Then again, if you just want to relax, the two beaches on the island (Hundred Step Beach and Thousand Step Beach) have basic facilities and entertainment. A great day trip for the escapist or the cultural wayfarer, put Putuo Shan on your itinerary if you're looking for a day or two out of Shanghai.
Note:There a number of options of bus/car and ferry between the island and Shanghai, the fastest of which will take you about 2 hours in total. Then again, if you're looking for cheap, the slow ferry could take up to 12 hours!

just hope three remaining schools will respond
before all schools close up for the summer
baseball at Georgia School for the Deaf
Did Georgia School for the Deaf have a baseball
DeafDigest Sports editor is not aware of Georgia's
baseball history, if any. Possibly, if baseball
was played it must have been way back in the 1930's
or even 1940's.
Anyway here is a newspaper story, written by a hearing person:
Because Father's Day is Sunday, I'd like to share some stories about
my daddy, like the time he coached a baseball game at the Georgia School
for the Deaf.
Daddy coached the baseball team at Celanese. One afternoon they had a game
at the Georgia School for the Deaf in Cave Spring. The deaf baseball
players were not playing by the rules. Daddy correctly assumed that the
boys could read lips.
He went over to the pitcher, stood right in front of him and calmly said,
"And you have to play by the rules just like our team does."
"And," he continued, "you cannot disobey the rules just because
you are deaf. Okay?" The game continued with everyone abiding
by the rules.
that story is probably an exaggeration because not every deaf person is an
expert lipreader.
And also, baseball (and softball) are played with strict rules –
3 outs, 4 balls is a walk; 3 strikes is an out. If rules are broken,
there are umpires that are the law on the field!
elite deaf cyclist
Elis Topchaniuk, from Ukraine, is a world-level women's cyclist.
She won two first places in the fourth European Championship Mountainbike
in Belgium
She had been ranked tops in both the cross-country eliminator (XCE) race,
a challenge in which four racers compete in head-to-head elimination, and
the cross-country race section.
She had hoped to take home another first in the marathon section, and was
leading the pack of cyclists at the start of the race. But a bicyclist
from behind bumped into Topchaniuk, she said, causing her to fall and her
bike chain to come off. By the time she was back on her bike, she was only
able to take third.
college deaf basketball player with Deaflympics
part of newspaper story
Matt Edwards is partially deaf in both ears. However, he was able to play
basketball at Forsyth Country Day before graduating in June and parlayed
that into a scholarship at Catawba.
But Edwards was just given a chance to play basketball for the United
States national deaf team next summer in the Deaflympics. The Deaflympics
will be comprised of 12 teams from around the world and are scheduled for
Samsun, Turkey, July 18-30 of next year. However, because of the unrest in
Turkey, it might be moved to Russia or some other country.
random deafsports thoughts
something of fun baseball stats, regarding major league
home runs.
Not too many deaf baseball players had long major league
careers but two of them did – Dummy Hoy and Curtis Pride.
Hoy hit 40 career homers in 1,797 major league games
Pride hit 20 career homers in 421 major league games
Hoy played in a dead ball era; how many of his homers
were over the fences and how many were inside the park?
Pride played in the modern era; DeafDigest Sports
assumes all of his homers were over the fences.
Dick Sipek hit one homer but it was during a
pre-season game as he hit no homers in 82 games
(just one season)
Derrick Coleman update
Cardinals' Derrick Coleman embraces role with new team
(a posting)
As the first legally-deaf NFL offensive player, Coleman has cut out a nice
career as a fullback and in special teams for the Seattle Seahawks and
Atlanta Falcons.
The Cardinals are re-introducing the fullback position to their offense
under first-year head coach Steve Wilks and offensive coordinator Mike
Coleman won a Super Bowl during his time with the Seahawks, and has had
success in special teams and in run-blocking.
The Cardinals expect him to fill in these roles.
baseball sign language with deaf and hearing fans
from a tweet:
There's a friend who is deaf. I don't know sign language but that hasn't
stopped us from talking about the Astros. Through a series of baseball
related hand gestures and arm moments we have developed a way to have
conversations about the previous nights game.
this hearing friend is correct. All hearing baseball fans understand
baseball gestures, especially signs for these trick baseball
pitches – curve, slider, sinker, cutter, fast pitch, change ups, etc.

|Fixed star: ALMACH Alamak
|Constellation: Gamma (γ) Andromeda

|Declination 1900: +41.51'
|Declination 2000: +42.20'

|Spectral class: K2
|Magnitude: 2.3
from p.36 of
Star Names, Richard Hinckley Allen, 1889.
[A scanned copy can be viewed on this webpage]
Gamma (γ) Andromeda, Almach, is a ternary star, 2.3, 5.5, and 6.5, orange, emerald, and blue and was thought to be one of the most beautiful objects in the heavens.
This is Alamac in the Alfonsine Tables and 1515 Almagest; the Italian astronomer Riccioli's (1598–1671) Alamak; Flamsteed's Alamech; now Almach, Almak, Almaack, and Almaac or Almaak; all from Al 'Anak al 'Ard ["Earth-kid"], a small predatory animal of Arabia, similar to a badger, and popularly known there as Al Barid [Barid in Arabia is a unit of distance equal to about 19.3 kilometers] the 16th century French scholar Scaliger's conjecture that it is from Al Mauk, the Buskin [a foot and leg covering reaching halfway to the knee. Another meaning is a Greek tragedy], although likely enough for a star marking the left foot of Andromeda, is not accepted; for {p.37} the 15th century Tartar astronomer Ulug Beg, a century and a half previously, as well as Al Tizini (Arabian astronomer, first half of 16th century) and the Arabic globes before him, gave it the animal's title in full. But the propriety of such a designation here is not obvious in connection with Andromeda, and would indicate that it belonged to very early Arab astronomy.
Muhammad al Achsasi al Muwakkit (Arab author of a star-list of around 1650) designated this star gamma (γ) as Al H'amis al Na'amat, his editor translating this Quinta Struthionum, the 5th one of the Ostriches; but I have not elsewhere seen the association of these birds with this constellation.
The 17th century English orientalist Thomas Hyde gives another Arabian designation for gamma (γ) as Al Rijl al Musalsalah, the Woman's Foot.
In the astronomy of China this star, with others in Andromeda and in Triangulum, was Tien Ta Tseang, Heaven's Great General. Astrologically it was honorable and eminent. {p.38} From its vicinity radiate the Andromedes 11, the Bielid meteors [the swarm of meteors connected with Biela's comet].
[Star Names, Their Lore and Meaning, Richard Hinckley Allen, 1889].
Andromeda, the original "maiden in distress" is daughter of Cepheus, king of Ethiopeia, and his wife Cassiopeia. Cassiopeia was proud of her daughter's beauty and boasted that Andromeda was more beautiful than the Sea Nymphs, the Nereids, who were daughters of Poseidon (Neptune). The Nereids complained to Poseidon who sent a sea monster (Cetus) to ravage the coast. With his kingdom in grave danger, Cepheus consulted the oracle of Ammon in Libya for advice. He learned the only way to save his kingdom was to sacrifice his daughter, Andromeda, to the sea monster. Andromeda is chained to a rock and left to the mercy of the monster. The hero, Perseus, riding through the air on winged sandals, arrives at the scene and they fall in love. Perseus had a quick consultation with Cepheus and Cassiopeia, it is agreed that if he rescues their daughter he could marry her. The sea monster (Cetus) arrives and Perseus kills it by turning it to stone with the Medusa's Head (Algol). Perseus breaks the chains that bound Andromeda to the rock and frees her. The wedding follows.
Virgo. It is said to bestow purity of thought, virtue, honor and dignity upon its natives, but to cause battle with chimerical (wildly fanciful, highly improbable) fears and a tendency to become easily discouraged. It gives love between husband and wife and reconciles adulterers. If Mars afflicts the luminaries from Andromeda and especially if in an angle, it causes death by hanging, decapitation, crucifixion or impalement. By the Kabalists it is associated with the Hebrew letter Pé and the 17th Tarot Trump, The Stars. [Robson*, p.26.]According to Ptolemy the influence of this constellation is similar to that of Venus, though the legend would lead one to suppose some connection with
The full English translation of the myth of Andromeda as told by Manilius in Astronomica, 1st century A.D. can be found on the Andromeda constellation page.
"The man whose birth coincides with the rising of Andromeda from the sea will prove merciless, a dispenser of punishment, a warder of dungeon dire; he will stand arrogantly by while the mothers of wretched prisoners lie prostrate on his threshold, and the fathers wait all night to catch the last kisses of their sons and receive into their inmost being the dying breath. From the same constellation comes the figure of the executioner, ready to take money for a speedy death and the rites of a funeral pyre, for him execution means profit, and oft will he bare his axe; in short, he is a man who could have looked unmoved on Andromeda herself fettered to the rock. Governor of the imprisoned he occasionally becomes a fellow convict, chained to criminals so as to save them for execution. [Manilius, Astronomica, 1st century A.D., Book 5, p.351.]
Of the nature of Venus. It gives honor, eminence and artistic ability. [Robson*, p.128.]
Honors in military endeavors. [Fixed Stars and Judicial Astrology, George Noonan, 1990, p.22.]
Alamak is supposed to give a cheerful nature with a liking for change, diversion and amusement. The popularity of these people will bring benefits from others. Almach is a double star. It has a yellowish-reddish companion which is supposed to have a Martian character. Both stars are moving around a center point. This is supposed to bring about the change in preponderance of the Venus and Mars character alternatively. [Fixed Stars and Their Interpretation, Elsbeth Ebertin, 1928, no.10, p.21, under Alamak]
*[Fixed Stars and Constellations in Astrology, Vivian E. Robson, 1923].

Healing Aromatic Bath Blessing
A bath is an amazing way of looking after our health & happiness because the warmth eases aches & pains, promotes relaxation and rest, encourages us to unwind, lowers our blood pressure and heart rate and encourages our local blood circulation which reduces stress and tension and enables our body to heal itself. The water also helps to cleanse our skin, especially if you use salt and essential oils.
We can make a bath even more special, magical and wonderful by doing a simple a ritual, by focusing on the things that you want to have, be, do and create. A bath will boost relaxation and the wonderful aroma of essential oils can help to bring you into the present moment and encourage a greater sense of self and conscious awareness. Add to that, the power of your own positive thoughts and emotions and we can start to shift a negative, sad, stressed and worried state of being into one of greater positivity, possibility and potential.
- Choose your essential oils and find your oil burner. The information below may help you to decide your essential oils.
- Please check the contraindication (safety data) of the essential oils that you want to use before using them to make sure it is safe for you e.g. rosemary is a great oil but it is contraindicated for people with high blood pressure, epilepsy and during pregnancy. You can do this on my website http://aromatictherapeutics.com/inspiration/essential-oil-contraindications
- Put water in the bowl of your oil burner and place 6-8 drops of your chosen essential oils into it then light the candle. (Please note, when using a device in the bathroom, please do not use an electric oil diffuser, only an oil burner with a candle)
- Put the plug into the plug hole and run your bath, then leave the room closing the door behind you. (That way the aroma will be kept in the room)
- Place some epsom salts or dead sea salts (minimum of 4 tablespoons) into a bowl and add 8-10 drops of your chosen essential oils. Mix well with a spoon.
- When your bath water is ready, turn the tap off and do your ritual.
- As you place your bath salts into your bath do your personal ritual which includes your dreams, wishes, desires and prayers.
- Get into your bath keeping your attention on your dreams, wishes, desires and prayers and enjoy the warm, aromatic and soothing sensations that the warmth, water, essential oils and salts provide. Inhale deeply and slowly as you slowly rest, relax and unwind.
- Enjoy your bath and anytime your mind starts to wander off or anytime you start to have or create negative thoughts, bring your mind back to the warmth, back to your breath, back to the aroma of the oils, and back to your positive intentions.
- When it is time to get out of your bath, just finish on a really positive note. What is the one thing that you most love to have or be? Focus on that for a moment and notice any pictures, sounds, smells and feelings that come to mind.
- When you are dried off, the plug is out and when you are dressed and ready to leave the bathroom, stand still with your hands in the prayer position in front of your heart, bring your attention once again to your wishes, dreams, desires and prayers. Say the healing ritual once more. Say thank you. Blow the candle of the oil burner out and leave the room with a smile on your face.

Autumn Oils & Autumn Rituals
Lavender, Sage, Cedarwood, and Frankincense

Personal Ritual – Now do a short ritual which will include your dreams, wishes, desires and prayers.
The aromatic power of essential oils works with our sense of smell to promote creative space, potential for transformation and the aroma acts as a gateway to spiritual and energetic potential where healing, change and transformation can take place. Using essential oils, our sense of smell with some simple rituals helps us to come back to ourselves, come back to the present moment, to lift our spirits and improve our moods. As we begin to relax and rest, return to a positive emotive sense of self, the act of ritual and positive empowerment enables greater healing to take place. The idea then is that our mind and emotions will begin to shift attention towards the potential of a positive future. It needs to be repeated on a regular basis though and if it is repeated daily or a few times a week, positive changes will start to arise over time and often if done correctly, immediately.
This is the power of the combination of healing essential oils, our sense of smell, the magic and wonder they possess and the act of ritual and ceremony together with positive intentions and the desire and courage to dream.
I run workshops & courses, offer aromatherapy & massage, make handmade perfumes to order and provide positive empowerment & intuitive life coaching. Contact me on 07972 043 922 or email@example.com

Threeways Centre, Ovenden, is running Saturday sessions, 11am-12pm, for people to try different sports offered on its Lead the Way ten week course funded through West Yorkshire Sport.
Lucy Wall, development officer for West Yorkshire Sport, attended a recent session. She said: "The project aims to increase participation in sport and physical activity regardless of age or ability for adults with a a learning disability. The activities allow people to give things a go they may not have had the chance to try before."
Sports include badminton, football and more.
Sports coach, Hayden Claughan, instructing weekly sessions, said: "Seeing how much the participants enjoy what I am delivering is rewarding. I have met a lot of great people over the past few weeks and I hope to meet many more."
Sessions cost £2.50 and no fee is charged for carers.

Royal Park Hotel
The Location
Don't be put off by its locale in the New Territories—it's only a 20-minute ride on the MTR to Central. This hotel is especially handy for those heading to the mainland, with the border only a 25-minute train ride away.
The Rooms
Compared to other city hotels, the 431 rooms at the Royal Park are positively palatial, with all guest rooms sized at 33 square meters (suites are 66 square meters). The décor is tasteful rather than innovative, but the rooms are appointed with all the modern comforts and inviting, window-side sofas.
The Sore Spots
There's no Wi-Fi, which is unusual for a Hong Kong hotel aimed at business travelers. And even with convenient public transportation, the location might deter revelers eager to check out the city's nightlife.
Trump Cards
With all its space, the hotel's health club rivals that of any five-star hotel, with indoor and heated outdoor pools, saunas, a tennis court and a jogging track. Plus, New Town Plaza, home to more than 400 shops, is a short walk away.
