Johnson gives Cubs walk-off win in 11th
New starter Harden fans 10 in 5 1/3 scoreless innings
By Carrie Muskat / MLB.com
Harden struck out 10 over 5 1/3 shutout innings in his Cubs debut, and was in line for the win Saturday but did not get a decision, as Reed Johnson hit a walk-off RBI single with one out in the 11th inning to give Chicago an 8-7 victory over the San Francisco Giants.
The Cubs had opened a 7-0 lead, more than enough for Harden, acquired Tuesday from the Oakland Athletics. The right-hander notched his third career double-digit strikeout game, and second this year, and the crowd of 41,555 appreciated the effort, giving him a standing ovation as he exited after 5 1/3 scoreless innings.
The Giants closed to 7-2 in the eighth, but the Cubs were still confident.
"When you've got a five-run lead, the thought pretty much with the players and everyone in the stands, is the game is over," Johnson said. "Any time you lose one like that, it makes it good that you end up winning the ballgame. But at the same time, you want to get Harden the win. He pitched great in his Cubs debut. I'm sure that won't be the last great outing he has."
The Cubs need to get Marmol back to his "great" status. The Giants batted around in the ninth against Marmol, collecting five runs on five hits, one walk and a hit batter in the inning.
Ivan Ochoa doubled to lead off, and one out later, Jose Castillo hit a chopper toward the pitcher who booted the ball, and the Giants had runners at first and third. Marmol then served up a pair of RBI singles, walked a batter, and gave up a run-scoring fielder's choice. Marmol hit the next batter, and shortstop Ryan Theriot fielded pinch-hitter Eliezer Alfonzo's RBI single, and then threw it wildly for an error, allowing a run to score.
Suddenly, the game was tied at 7.
"One thing led to another and, all of a sudden, we had three men on," Cubs catcher Geovany Soto said. "Everything got away from us. It was a bad day. [Marmol's] back was a little stiff out there. Everybody goes out there trying to do well, and unfortunately, it wasn't his day."
Piniella didn't have Kerry Wood available. He's bothered by a blister that will prevent him from pitching in the All-Star Game Tuesday.
"We felt with the right-hand hitters coming up, [Marmol] could make one pitch to get out of it," Piniella said. "He's done it in the past. Today, it just didn't happen. I'm not going to lose confidence in the guy -- he's done too well here. I think this rest at the break will do well."
Marmol chose not to speak to reporters.
"Let me tell you what I hope he learned from today," Piniella said. "He had a little chopper [by Castillo], and in trying to avoid a run scoring from third base, he boots the ball instead of just making a nice, easy play. Let them get a run in, get the second out, and toss the ball to Derrek Lee. That was the inning as far as I was concerned.
"Forget the run -- you've got a five-run lead, all you want are outs in the eighth and ninth innings. You don't need spectacular things, all you need are outs. He tried to prevent a run from scoring, and five scored."
The Cubs did score in the 11th. Sean Marshall (2-2) singled to lead off, and advanced when Mark DeRosa walked but was forced at third on Mike Fontenot's fielder's choice. Johnson drove a pitch from Brian Wilson (0-2) to right and DeRosa slid home just ahead of the throw for the game-winning run.
"My first couple at-bats, I didn't feel that great, and was just feeling for it," Johnson said. "The last at-bat, I got the good part of the bat on the ball and it ended up working out."
The Cubs opened their early lead thanks to Jim Edmonds, who drove in four runs, hitting a two-run homer with two outs in the third, his 10th, and a two-run double in the fourth.
"There's 24 other guys wishing we were going to win that game just to make Marmol feel better," Johnson said. "He's been unbelievable for us. We wouldn't be where we are if we didn't have him."

Alistair Overeem (33-11 MMA, 3-0 DREAM) may not fight Ricco Rodriguez (42-11 MMA, 0-0 DREAM) at DREAM.15, according to a member of his team.
Martin De Jong, who trains the Strikeforce heavyweight champion, said his camp will talk to DREAM representatives at the end of this week to determine Overeem's future in the Japanese promotion.
"If he's going to fight, he's probably not going to fight Ricco Rodriguez," De Jong today told MMAjunkie.com
MMAjunkie.com first reported the bout Tuesday after sources close to the event said DREAM was scheduled to announce it Wednesday.
DREAM.15 takes place July 10 bout at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.
Rodriguez's agent, Ken Pavia, today said that he holds a signed contract for the bout. De Jong, though, said there's no such paperwork on his side.
"We didn't receive any contract," he said. "[DREAM] proposed Ricco Rodroguez, but they didn't send a contract, and definitely we did not sign it."
The trainer said Overeem has no problem fighting Rodriguez and that the decision to skip DREAM.15 stems from other issues with the promotion that he declined to speak about on record.
It's unclear how Overeem can sidestep his contract if he chooses not to fight for the Japanese promotion. The heavyweight signed a multi-year, multi-fight agreement with DREAM last year that drew the ire of stateside fans who said he neglected his duty to defend his Strikeforce belt.
Most recently, Overeem pulverized Brett Rogers in May at "Strikeforce St. Louis: Heavy Artillery" to defend his title for the first time in nearly three years.
Following Fabricio Werdum's upset of Fedor Emelianenko at this past Saturday's "Strikeforce and M-1 Global: Fedor vs. Werdum" event, Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker said Overeem could meet either Emelianenko or Werdum in his next stateside fight.
For the latest on DREAM.15, check out the MMA Rumors section of MMAjunkie.com.
(UPDATED on 7/1/10 at 9:30 a.m. ET to include clarification from De Jong that Overeem intends to fulfill his DREAM contract and will sit down with his management team later this week to determine his next fight.)

Prophylactic oophorectomy (o-of-uh-REK-tuh-me) significantly reduces your odds of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer if you're at high risk. Weigh the pros and cons of this cancer-prevention option.
Women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations have a significantly increased risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Several options are available for reducing the risk of cancer in these women.
One option is preventive (prophylactic) bilateral oophorectomy — the surgical removal of the ovaries. Although removing your ovaries is usually performed to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer, oophorectomy can also reduce the risk of breast cancer.
In an oophorectomy, a surgeon removes both your ovaries — the almond-shaped organs on each side of your uterus. Your ovaries contain eggs and secrete the hormones that control your reproductive cycle.
Removing your ovaries greatly reduces the amount of the hormones estrogen and progesterone circulating in your body. This surgery can halt or slow breast cancers that need these hormones to grow.
Women with BRCA gene mutations usually also have their fallopian tubes removed at the same time (salpingo-oophorectomy) since they have an increased risk of fallopian tube cancer as well.
Prophylactic oophorectomy is usually reserved for women with a significantly increased risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer due to an inherited mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene — two genes linked to breast cancer, ovarian cancer and other cancers. Women who have inherited mutations and have completed childbearing are the best candidates for this surgery.
Prophylactic oophorectomy may also be recommended if you have a strong family history of breast cancer and ovarian cancer but no known genetic alteration. It might also be recommended if you have a strong likelihood of carrying the gene mutation based on your family history but choose not to proceed with genetic testing.
If you have a BRCA mutation, a prophylactic oophorectomy can reduce your:
Breast cancer risk by up to 50 percent in premenopausal women. As an example, if a woman with a high risk of breast cancer had a 60 percent chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in her lifetime, bilateral oophorectomy could reduce her risk to 30 percent.
Put another way, for every 100 women just like her, 60 could be expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer without oophorectomy. And 30 would be expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer after oophorectomy.
Ovarian cancer risk by 80 to 90 percent. As an example, if a woman with a high risk of ovarian cancer had a 30 percent chance of being diagnosed with ovarian cancer at some point in her lifetime, oophorectomy could reduce her risk to 6 percent, assuming an 80 percent risk reduction.
Put another way, for every 100 women just like her, 30 could be expected to be diagnosed with ovarian cancer without oophorectomy. And six would be expected to be diagnosed with ovarian cancer after oophorectomy.
In studies, the risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer varies. And your individual risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer varies depending on many factors, including your family history, your lifestyle choices and other strategies you're using to reduce your risk of cancer. For some women, oophorectomy may offer great reduction in risk. For other women, the risks of surgery and the potential side effects may not be worth the reduction in cancer risk.
Oophorectomy is a generally safe procedure that carries a small risk of complications, including infection, intestinal blockage and injury to internal organs. The risk of complications depends on how the procedure is performed.
But more concerning is the impact of losing the hormones supplied by your ovaries. In women who have yet to undergo menopause, oophorectomy causes early menopause. Early menopause carries many risks, including:
Prophylactic oophorectomy might relieve much of your anxiety about developing either disease, but this type of surgery can also take an emotional toll on you. Even if you didn't plan on having children, you might mourn the loss of your fertility. Or you may, like some, have a strong sense of femininity tied to your fertility and reproductive cycle.

A new sports pavilion for a Doncaster town has moved a step closer with the handover of a £50,000 grant.
Plans have been drawn up to create a new community building at the Memorial Sports Ground in Bawtry, and the boost from community grants organisation Wren is a 'massive step' for officials behind the scheme.
The award – together with cash committed by Bawtry Town Council and Doncaster Council – brings the cash pot to £150,000 towards the total cost of £450,000.
The project is being led by Bawtry Action For Recreation and Sport.
Chairman Matthew Brearley said: "We are very grateful to Wren for their support for this project.
"BARS has made applications to a number of funders, including Sport England, to raise the £450,000 required to build the pavilion and, if they also support the project, work could start on the building as early as next March.
"This is a project which will benefit not only the sports clubs of Bawtry but will be available for the whole community to enjoy. BARS will also contribute cash to the cost of this project and we are grateful for the support Bawtry residents and businesses have given to BARS which will allow us to do so."
BARS was set up to provide recreational and sporting facilities for the residents of Bawtry and has already provided children's play equipment, a teen shelter and a hard surface multi-use games area at Bawtry's Wharf Street Recreation Ground.
The new pavilion, with four changing rooms, a multi-purpose room seating 80, and a kitchen, will replace the present building and provide state-of-the-art facilities for all the sports clubs at the Memorial Sports Club as well as a social facility.
Peter Cox, managing director of Wren, said: "Wren makes a difference to people's lives by awarding grants to community, environmental and heritage projects across the UK. We're delighted to support BARS and their valuable work."
Mike Snell of FCC Environment, the landfill operator which donates a percentage of its taxes to Wren to help fund projects, said: "The funding for the Bawtry Memorial Sports Ground Community Pavilion awarded by Wren will create a real hub for the local community to come together. FCC Environment is all about helping people to improve their communities in a sustainable way and this project is a great example."

Hey everyone,
So every now and then when I am playing a video on my primary monitor, my second monitor goes absolutely crazy. Sometimes when I leave the webpage, the monitor goes back to normal, other times it continues to display tons of random colorful lines... it is really hit or miss. In addition, not every video has this strange effect... adding to the mystery. I've only run into this issue using firefox, which makes me suspect that it is more of a flash plugin issue than a video card issue. Any suggestions for how to proceed? This issue has been bugging me for a long time, but I figured plugin updates would have fixed it by now.
i7 930 stock clocked, 6 Gb Corsair XMSC3 ram, EVGA FTW3 mobo, XFX Radeon 7770 Black Edition, Antec Neopower 650W, OCZ Vertex 3 120gb, 1tb Caviar Black, 750 gb Caviar Green, Asus Xonar D2X, and some optical/bluray drives. Let me know if any other info would help.

'Birth Of A Notion'
Work on my book has progressed in fits and spurts for a while, but in the wake of Abercrombie's goof-up and the announcement of Corsi's book, I figured it couldn't hurt to put part of what I've written online at the website. Both to serve as a public resource, and perhaps also to help secure a book deal. Wishful thinking, I know. I'd previously struggled with what I could put online that wouldn't give up too much research, or without creating more doubt. I think it's perhaps unwise to expose a person to too much denialist rhetoric without upfront breaking down the evidence that all non-denialists accept as sufficient. Given the skepticism that Abercrombie's actions have engendered, the straightforward account of Obama's documentation seemed best. So I put in some time last night, set up the bare bones of the site, and worked on the excerpt page, where I document [/break1]com/home/?page_id=4]the evidence that Obama was born in Hawaii. Some of the links are still missing, and I can't get a couple of the images to properly align with the text, but you get the idea.Thoughts and reactions are welcome. If you like it, I would ask that you don't link to it elsewhere until I've polished the site up a little more.Thanks in advance.

It's terrific, Loren. I'm really rooting for you with this project. I won't link until you give the word you want it linked. Then I'm going to link the hell out of it. bd I wish you so much luck. I have no doubt that you will succeed in finding a publisher.

LorenThis is great. There were some new items for me like the NYT article I had never seen. Do you want to include the account of Barbara Nelson in this chapter?

Excellent Loren!
'Birth Of A Notion'
Thanks everybody. To answer two questions together:Do you want to include the account of Barbara Nelson in this chapter?It's tempting, but probably not. It's an account of a fifty-year-old memory from an unrelated third party. Since I plan to talk about the unreliability of such accounts (read: Race Bannon), I can't very well cite them when they're in my favor, unless they check out.Now if it's somehow confirmed that Dr. West *was* the doctor, then I might include it. But then, if he's confirmed, then I'll probably just cite whatever that source is.Will there be a Vattel chapter?There will be a chapter that includes some talk of the two-citizen-parent argument, but I envision the chapter on the whole being more about pseudolegalism. Since I don't want to actively argue the merits of Vattelism at length, I'd like to get a number of ConLaw professors to simply agree that it's meritless, and I can just cite expert after expert after expert.

Loren, it's excellent, and I'm looking forward to the rest.A couple of suggestions:o In the sentence, "When the online scans failed to convince the proto-Birthers who were beginning to coalesce, the nonpartisan website FactCheck.org asked the Obama campaign to visit their headquarters and personally examine the physical document," the construction is not clear. Who asked whom to visit whose headquarters?o You say that "Honolulu is over 10,700 miles from Nairobi, Kenya," and later you say that "the Birthers' preferred hypothesis is ... that she traveled halfway around the planet to give birth in a third-world city." I think that, for completeness's sake, it would be helpful to say that the third-world city mentioned in this context is most commonly Mombasa, which would also provide an opportunity to tell readers what a Honolulu-Mombasa journey would have entailed in 1961.
'Birth Of A Notion'
Excellent job, Loren. =D> =D> I can't wait for your book to come out. "Birth of a Notion" (great title, BTW) is needed to counteract the proliferation of poop that gets published on this.
'Birth Of A Notion'
Yes, excellent writing!One tiny error, last paragraph:Taken together, all of this pieces form a cohesive, consistent, well-evidenced and long-standing proof that Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on August 4, 1961.these?

I'm liking what I'm reading so far, Loren. You write very well.I realize it's a work in progress, but since this is titled "Chapter 4", can you give us an idea of what the first three chapters will cover? I'd like to have some sense of where I'm coming in on the narrative.

Way back in May '09, I characterized Birtherstan as [link]a play in three acts,viewtopic.php?p=35123#p35123[/link].'Course, by now, we'd be up to about Act Eleventeen, on that schedule.

I'm liking what I'm reading so far, Loren. You write very well.Thank you.I realize it's a work in progress, but since this is titled "Chapter 4", can you give us an idea of what the first three chapters will cover? I'd like to have some sense of where I'm coming in on the narrative.Chapter 1 is essentially an introduction. Not only to Birtherism, but to the broad strokes of conspiracism, denialism, and skeptical thinking.Chapter 2 lays out the political and social landscape that set the stage for the questioning of Obama's birth and citizenship. Some on the discussion over John McCain's status, but more on the 'Obama is a secret Muslim' rumors. Who started them and so on.Chapter 3 covers the origin of the central birther rumor of Obama being born in Kenya. Both who originally started it and spread it, and how it took off after the NRO article.Chapter 4 is about denialism. After I lay out the facts showing that Obama *was* born in Hawaii, I then go into the different standard denialist responses to such evidence and how they reject it. Also I discuss anomaly-hunting, and how to distinguish denialism from genuine skepticism.Chapter 5 is about how false rumors are created. I argue that there are three general ways rumors are created (and they do bleed into each other), and I illustrate each with one of the big concrete birther rumors about the Kenyan birth. Namely, 1) that it was in Mombasa (misinterpretation of a fact), 2) that two of his half-siblings confirmed it and/or said they were present (misremembering of a fact), and 3) that it was at Coast Hospital (purely fabricated crap).Beyond that I just have a general map, and haven't written much. I'll talk about the types of conspiracy theories and the relationship between conspiracism and denialism. One chapter will focus on pseudoscience, which Birtherism actually has relatively little of. Pseudolegalism and maybe pseudohistory. Propaganda is the chapter I've given the most thought to. And the epilogue will include the story of Hiram Revels.

Thanks in advance.I will comment more when I read it all, but I am glad the project is progressing. An interesting book that might be informative as to how to do something like this is a book on the [/break1]archive.org/details/hallcarbineaffai012466mbp]http://www.archive.org/details/hallcarb ... i012466mbp Hall Carbine Affair, a scandal which arose from the sale of various carbines to the U.S. military during the Civil War.Despite having little connection to the affair, Morgan was vilified for decades as having sold defective carbines to the U.S. This was commonly accepted wisdom. The problem was, it appears to have been nearly completely untrue. Despite this, to this day, you will often hear people, mostly leftists, repeat this accusation.This book comprehensively demolishes the tale, with two halves, one devoted to a full analysis of the paper record and other evidence, and a shorter part, which basically hits the high points. The structure might be useful, and it might be a good idea to lead with something like the "highlights reel" before getting deep into the nitty-gritty.That way, people who just want a quick "how do I debunk this birfer who showed up on my forum" tutorial can get that, and people who want to geek out seriously about it can read the whole thing. Apologies if I've suggested something you're already doing.

New year's revolution as SCG comes over all green
THERE was a time when Test cricket in Sydney was not far removed from the conditions of the subcontinent, but the days of the SCG dust bowl could well be over.
While there is a strong chance both teams will field two spinners for the third Test, it is no longer a prerequisite for success at the fabled venue. The Australians were taken aback on Tuesday when they had their first glimpse of SCG head curator Tom Parker's latest Test strip and saw more green than they had expected.
Encouragingly for the hapless Sri Lankan batsmen, cricket fans and TV executives eager to avoid another three-day Test, it's unlikely to play like a green monster nor be a paceman's paradise.
''The sun's belting down today so you don't want it ready to play on today, because come match day you will have a pitch that's too overdone. It'll be fine,'' Parker said.
Australian opener Ed Cowan said he would relish facing spin on the SCG ''because I don't think it's going to turn very much''.
''So if Sri Lanka want to play two spinners that's probably to our favour,'' Cowan said.
The SCG has played host to just two first-class matches this summer - a rain-affected Shield game against Victoria and Australia A's three-day fixture with South Africa in early November.
The track for the A-game was lifeless and offered little assistance to the bowlers while batsmen had to work hard for runs though they were seldom in danger once settled.
In the Shield match, spin claimed only six of the 23 wickets, hardly a ratio in keeping with the SCG's former reputation as the dusty haven for spin bowlers.
''It's not that I didn't like that but times change, we have a lot more cricket played here now and there are expectations on the presentation of the ground which are different to what they were,'' Parker said. ''We have short changeover periods from our cricket commitments and AFL commitments. You've got to make sure what we do is going to work and for everyone else across the board.
''I don't think it's a shame [dust bowls are gone]. You've watched a lot of cricket here, both domestic and Tests, and you've seen it's dusted up on several occasions and spun on several occasions as well.
''It's not that long ago when you had Shane Warne at one end and Stuart MacGill at the other.''
Parker has deliberately kept more grass on the SCG wicket, which he believed was in keeping with the ground's characteristics during the 1960s and 1970s.
''You speak to Ian Chappell and he said one day when he came out to bat the only way he could tell the difference from the pitch and the outfield were the white lines,'' Parker said. ''It's OK to say it doesn't spin as much as it did in the 80s but was that the best thing?
''How far do you want to go? You can go back in history to when they played on uncovered pitches and they went on until they got a result. Where does it stop?
''I'm a cricket purist and I love the traditions of cricket but you have to draw the line at some areas. I think I've got the formula right to make a cricket pitch that's even for batsmen, fast bowlers and spin late in the match.''
With Australia's spin stocks still relatively bare, there has been pressure on groundsman to produce wickets which offer more encouragement not only to batsmen but to slow bowlers.
But Parker said the onus was on the bowler. ''The pitch is there, we just need people to step up to the mark,'' Parker said.

when I'm drilling a girl with a big rack and they flop around like that, it makes me cum faster and harder. love to grab 'em while I'm pounding her pussy. I would have to finish with a tit fuck before the facial. guarantees the biggest load from my 52-yr old cock.
She really likes the way he cups and holds her tits with his hands and kisses them when he starts fucking her. He should also be lightly pinching her nipples and sucking on those standup nipples.
He should have ass fucked her during that session. What a pleasure it would be to have my dick balls deep in her pussy and make her cum just as I am cunning and shooting my hot load deep in her pussy for her to feel that she made me cun.
I love the way she puts his dick in her mouth and starts sucking it after he has dropped his load of cum. That damn near made me cum.
She already made me cum multiple times.

Love those big natural titties. Plastic titties can not compare to these. It makes me want to suck them all the more and eat her pussy then fuck her and cum in her hot wet pussy. Yum - Yum!
Wish that they would have shown the dick going into her pussy at the get go and a close up of the dick going in and out of that pussy along with those big tits bouncing back and forth.
I had to watch this more than once and wish that I could lay my head on one of those soft tities and suck on the other and then alternate. Then I could go on to eating her and fucking her. I would like to butt fuck her too. Love that plump chick with the stupendous tits.
She has made other videos where she was butt fucked. She seemed to be used to butt fucking so have at it. She has also made lesbo videos and does not shy away from eating pussy or having her pussy eaten by another woman.
Man, what a pair of georgious perfect tits with standup nipples. It was beautiful seeing her get fucked. It is too bad he did not cum inside her pussy for us to watch the cum run out of her sweet tight snatch. Better yet it would be best if it were my cum draining out of her pussy after I gave her at least an hour of pussy sucking and making her cum in my mouth.
As a straight guy I would like to suck on those titties while fucking her and ass fucking her as he ass fucks me.
Love watching her get fucked. Tits are perfect!

Hardwood Back Scratcher, Premium Select Teak Handle
Product Description
Back Scratcher Overview
We matched up our signature back scratcher design with a handle made from the wood used in our popular exotic teak back scratcher (52-750) to come up with this beauty. Our signature hardwood back scratchers combine form and function in an elegant design that is both highly effective and uniquely beautiful. Here, the contrast between the beautifully grained red oak stave, treated with ammonia vapor to make it almost a honey color and the natural teak wood handle is striking. We import this dense hardwood from Asia; it is highly prized for its hardness, color and beautiful grain.
Always in short supply, these back scratchers are individually serialized
with their unit number and batch size like the collector's items they truly are. While they may
look too pretty to use, don't worry - they scratch with the same effectiveness as other
members of the family! Around Christmas some batches
only last a few days so if you want the best, order early because when we're out, we're out
and we don't always know when the next batch of teak stock will be available.
Features of this premium teak handled hardwood back scratcher include:
If you're looking for a well designed, hand crafted, beautifully finished back scratcher designed to reach anything you want to scratch and then scratch it with vigor, this is the back scratcher for you.
Back Scratcher Specifications**
*Due to natural variations in wood the color and grain of your back scratchers will vary - as the handles of our walnut back scratchers in the photo show. However, each one is unique and they are all beautiful.
**All units are hand built wood products and
there may be minor unit to unit dimensional variations which do not effect the use of the back
Important Note: Because of state and local health department regulations in the State of Washington, back scratchers are considered personal hygiene items and may only be returned for credit if in the original unopened packaging materials. Please contact BackScratcherWorld.com™ for authorization prior to returning this product.

About TOXIC:
Coming up with a fan fic that didn't just throw Hermione and Draco together within the first or second chapter was a bit of a challenge, but it was one I wanted to take on. Building up to that first kiss is important and shouldn't be rushed! By showing the difficulties each faces, one can see how they might change to be in an otherwise non-exsistant relationship!
I've gone back and merged a few of the previous chapters, as well as added a few interesting bits! There may be some gaps or confusing parts, but please bear with me as I try to make this story the way I had intended!
If you have read this once, pleas consider re-reading it, as there HAVE BEEN SOME CHANGES.
TOXIC is NOT YET COMPLETE and has been on hiatus! Chapter 20 is half-written; I will try to complete it after DH is released. It's highly possible that I will scrap the story all together and re-write it. Many apologies.
I am contemplating changing this to GENERAL FICTION, as it has not only romance, but mystery and a side of humor...
About A FAIR TO REMEMBER:
This is my second attempt at a Harry Potter Fan Fiction. In this story (which is 12 chapters long/19,400 words approx.), the Weasleys, Harry, and Hermione go to a Muggle fair. Despite a few simple rules set down by Mr. Weasley, things happen to the group that may or may not be beyond their control.
This story is as close to canon as I could get it (though Harry IS a bit OOC)--and takes place right after the end of the 6th book. You'll see a few familiar characters, as well as one new one--whom I hope to feature in a spin-off fic with Fred and George...!
THIS STORY IS COMPLETE--and YES it ends that way for a reason. Reviews are appreciated; I look forward to hearing from you about this new story!
About DEATH EATERS' DAUGHTER:
Written in response to the NaNoWriMo Challenge 2006, "DEATH EATERS DAUGHTER" had been a fanciful notion of mine when I wondered what sort of story could be written from the POV of a child of a Death Eater--without using a main character, such as Draco, Crabbe or Goyle. I went even further and thought, "What if this child was forced to live in America? How drastically would his/her life change--and how would they cope?".
This is 16-year-old Euphenia Mortimus' story. It involves a betrayal, murder, mystery, magic, friendship and perhaps some vengance. All for the sake of a forgotten Horcrux belonging to You-Know-Who.
I have TWO solid chapters written for this story, but have put it on the back-burner for a bit. I MAY CHANGE THE NAME OF THIS STORY BEFORE I POST ANY OF IT!!
--I have sketched a plot for a short story from Crookshank's POV.
--The OC from Toxic, Anya Elizabeth Borgin, can be found HERE
--Anya and Neville have exchanged letters in another piece I've written, but I doubt anyone will ever see that.
--A Fair to Remember was conceived in October and for 10 months languished with just a skeleton of one chapter.
--It took me 14 days to write A Fair to Remember.
--I research all the facts in my stories to the best of my ability, using the books, MN ENCYCLOPEDIA or the HP LEXICON.
Thanks for looking at my profile and I hope you enjoy the stories as much as I have fun writing them!

Mother's Day is around the corner this Sunday, May 11th. If you are pregnant with your first child, then you qualify as a mother! Let the celebrations begin! Mother's Day is a day we Moms can all appreciate. It is a time when we think of our own mother as well as scramble to buy a card and appropriate gift her, our Mother-in-Laws and other "mother figures" in our lives.
As a Mom of three, I know it's easy to get lost in the craziness of this time in May with many school activities jam packed into schedules, Teacher Appreciation Weeks, School Performances and Open Houses, Dance and Music Performances, Art Shows and everything else nearly every day of the week and month, not to mention homework! These are the days I feel I need a personal assistant to tell me what to wear, where to go and to point me out the door – but that's just the service we are providing for our children, right?!
Although busyness and motherhood seem to always co-exist, with a healthy dash of craziness, Mother's Day is a time when we Moms should pause, reflect and relax, even for a few hours (or moments) just to savor all that we have. We are blessed to be mothers and to be able to raise and nurture our children. We are one of the most influential people in our children's lives who they look up to, even if it doesn't always seem like it in the midst of a toddler meltdown at the grocery store or when hustling them in and out of car seats while juggling diaper bags and snacks. We will always be their mothers, even when they are grown up and maybe someday have families and children of their own.
My kids get very excited about Mother's Day and I know I should not take that for granted. They are very proud of their homemade cards and school craft Mother's Day creations as well as any knick-knacks they may have picked up with their Dad at the store. Those homemade cut out glue-sticked cards and pictures are my favorite (I always promise to laminate them and maybe one day I will!)
Mother's Day is truly about being appreciated for all that we are in our children's eyes (and our Partner's eyes as a mother to our kids). It's our time to be open to relaxing and receiving that love for a whole day (even a whole hour!) If you are pregnant, you are on your way to meeting your child very soon, so savor Mother's Day (while it's still quiet!) and maybe enjoy a kick in the tummy or a cute ultrasound picture of your baby. Sooner than you think you will have a pile of homemade cards to laminate someday!

Moscow's authorities must uphold the rights to freedom of assembly and expression for the city's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) activists, Amnesty International said after dozens were detained at a Pride event in the Russian capital.
On Sunday, a small group of LGBT activists gathered outside the Moscow City Duma and the Moscow mayor's office, where they attempted to unfold rainbow flags and raise small pieces of paper calling for an end to homophobia.
LGBT activists were immediately detained and later charged for allegedly violating the law on public meetings.
Meanwhile, another group of people was allowed to gather for at least an hour in front of the Mayor's office to protest against the Pride and shout homophobic slogans  police told the counter-demonstrators that their protest had been "unauthorized", but only arrested those who attempted to attack LGBT activists.
"The Moscow authorities' shameful approval of homophobia and discrimination against LGBT people is evident in the different treatment received by these two groups of protesters," said John Dalhuisen, Amnesty International's Europe and Central Asia Programme Director.
"Freedom of assembly must be protected for all, and Moscow's police must halt their arbitrary detention of people merely based on their sexual orientation or gender identity."
Among those detained was Pride organizer Nikolai Alekseyev, who was whisked off the street the moment he appeared near the mayor's office with a rainbow flag in his hand.
Journalist Elena Kostiuchenko, who tried to unfold a rainbow flag, suffered a twisted arm when someone tried to tear the flag from her hands.
Activist Yuri Gavrikov, who spoke to journalists and tried to unfold a small rainbow flag was detained when he stood alone on a side street near the mayor's office.
"We will continue - these are actions to defend our human rights and we notice that more and more people want to join us. These actions become a platform for us to start a dialogue and call for broader recognition of our rights," Yuri Gavrikov told Amnesty International.
While police did detain counter-demonstrators who were trying to physically attack the LGBT rights activists, some were reportedly later released without charges.
In 2010, the European Court of Human Rights criticized Russia for failing to uphold the right to freedom of assembly and for discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation. The Court found Russia had violated the rights of Nikolai Alekseyev, the main organizer of Sunday's action, by repeatedly blocking him from holding a Pride in Moscow over a five-year period.
Despite this, Moscow authorities continue to oppose Pride events in the city, in violation of Russian and international human rights law.
Russia's second-largest city St. Petersburg and other cities and regions have introduced laws which ban "propaganda of homosexualism, sodomy and lesbianism among minors".
On 25 May, the City Court of St. Petersburg turned down a complaint by an LGBT rights organization against the ban on "propaganda of homosexualism". The court decided that this law is in line with Russian legislation and legal norms.
"St. Petersburg and other Russian cities must immediately repeal such laws, which are clearly discriminatory in nature and only serve to fuel homophobia," said Dalhuisen.

The sheer variety of available products can be overwhelming to someone who is assigned to purchasing office breakroom supplies. Employees given that task often have a multitude of other job responsibilities. If you want to capture their attention in the harried office environment, you have to do it with your website.
Without the ability to touch, hold, smell, taste or otherwise handle the products in which they are interested, potential customers have only your website with which to interact. You will have their attention only for a short period of time, and you need to make an impact. Don't make it a chore for them; make it an experience. We have seen operators enjoy great success implementing the following website business practices:
Increase sales depth with related products. We often hear from operators that their goal is to increase a customer's average order size. If you are looking for opportunities to sell additional items, consider promoting related products.
A great way to upsell is to show your customers other products they can buy alongside the one they are currently viewing. This will encourage them to purchase more than one item at once.
Customers like related products because they are reminders of what else may be needed -- stirrers to go with sugar, for example; hot cups to go with coffee; or a new bottled iced tea to go with breakroom snacks. This is a logical website addition, because someone who is going to buy the original product may easily be influenced to add these other products to complement their original purchase.
OCS operators like related product promotions because they increase per-customer sales, boost profit and offset delivery charges, which are disproportionately high for small orders.
Increase a product's desirability with images. We have become a visual culture. Pictures of your products make them seem more tangible and "real" to your customers, and so are powerful sales tools.
First-generation OCS e-commerce sites typically display small, grainy images -- or even worse, none at all. This will mislead customers, often leading to a disgruntled return. High-resolution images are extremely important on your product detail pages. Take advantage of enhanced, extra large and alternate images offered by your e-commerce system. Depict your product either in use or in an appropriate environment. Provide more details with images of the nutrition facts. Be creative and you will see results.
Describe your products for your customers, not yourself. The most successful sales copy focuses on the customer. Too often, business owners neglect this simple platinum rule. Look carefully at your sales copy. Do your product descriptions contain abbreviations and vendor codes that only your own internal staff can understand? Take advantage of enhanced product descriptions within your e-commerce system -- don't feel limited to the descriptions stored in your office inventory system. Enhance product appeal by including YouTube videos and links to product PDFs, among other resources.
A common practice is to just copy and paste from the manufacturer's brochures or website. This is a mistake for two reasons. The first reason is that search engines penalize duplicate content; if you have the same product descriptions as dozens or hundreds of other websites, search engines do not know which should rank higher, and sites will frequently drop in the rankings as a consequence.
Another very important reason for writing or editing the descriptions instead of just picking up the manufacturer's text is that it will tend to focus on the features or technical specifications of a product, whereas if you're going to make a sale, you need to focus on the benefits.
Referrals from social channels beat referrals from search engines. Social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus may or may not help you sell your products -- but if that's where your customers are spending a good part of their day, maybe you should be, too. The communication on these sites can help OCS operators keep in touch with customers, make announcements or spotlight new merchandise and promotions.
One pitfall that many new social media endeavors encounter is pushing for the hard sell instead of providing valuable content. Sometimes it is good to share the great deals you have in your online store -- your loyal customers and social connections will certainly appreciate what you are offering at a lower investment -- but consistently pushing discounts through your social networks will eventually lose the attention of your community. You need to provide relevant, interesting and fun content to your following to keep things fresh and useful. If you are in the vending world, you might show a video of someone using a cashless payment option at one of your vending machines. Think about what is going on in your sector in order to share interesting, useful and interactive content to support your own products and offers.
Stock availability notifications help retain customers. Shoppers who find that an item is unavailable to buy are likely to form a bad impression of an operator, and seek to purchase that item from a competitor. What is the best way to handle this problem?
The drawback to not displaying out-of-stock items is that customers may not know that you normally have the item, and so they might not come back to check. You can offer to contact customers when the item is back in stock. Stock notifications not only can keep your customers from shopping elsewhere, but also an give you the chance to start communicating with interested customers.
Customers may be happy with a similar alternative to the item that is unavailable, so suggesting such product options may be enough to satisfy them -- and get them to buy something else. E-commerce systems that offer a "related products" feature make this easy to do.
Help them find it with intelligent search suggestions. Since the goal of the site search is to help your customers find what they are looking for, you can improve the process by suggesting terms that will help them to get the best results from their searches. These suggestions are used by many search engines and some e-commerce sites have implemented this feature for their site searches as well. The customer will start typing and suggestions will appear with the intent of giving them a better chance of using the right term or phrase to get the results they want.
This feature also has the side benefit of allowing your customer to see more of your product line. Consider a customer who typically purchases the same blend of decaf coffee with each order. With search suggestions, typing "decaf coffee" will bring up a list of all the decaf coffees that you offer -- many of which the customer may not have known were available from your operation.
An intelligent site search feature that suggests products as users type is an excellent and helpful feature that can prevent your customers from making queries that return no results, or irrelevant ones.
Guide them to making a decision with product filters. While some customers will arrive at your e-commerce site with a clear idea of what they need for their breakÂrooms, others will prefer to browse, so it is important to accommodate that user behavior, too, and make browsing for products as easy as possible. Additionally, providing product filters may coax customers out of their narrow purchasing patterns, turning them into "shoppers" who will browse your product line in greater depth.
There are some important considerations when using the filtering capability of your e-commerce system.
Ensure that your filters show customers that they are making progress towards a purchase decision. This can be done in a number of ways, for example by showing the number of products available for each available filter, and that this number decreases with each selection; or by showing that the filters available are reducing the scope of the search and becoming more specific.
Make sure the filtering options suit the product type. Filtering by roast is entirely reasonable in searching for ground, pod or whole bean coffees, but makes no sense for breakroom essentials like cups and paper products. The bottom line is that, if well-designed filters help them find what they are looking for quickly and easily, then your customers are more likely to add items to their carts.
Putting it all together. The next question operators typically ask is, "How successful will be I be if I take these measures?" Our standard answer is "You get out of it what you put into it."

Photographer's Note
Melbourne's lanes have become a haven and giant canvases for the graffito artists. I found myself in a relatively quiet part after dodging my way past the multitudes attending the White Night festival. Even here the people came in waves, leaving moments of relatively uncluttered scenes.
If you look at my workshop photo you can see what I mean by waves as the next deluge fills the alley.
I decided to call this photo Tattooed City as I did the previous one featuring projected images of tattooed bodies. Here the walls have been "tattooed"in colourful designs and tags.

Hello Klaudio,
very interesting picture which uses grafitti walls as very colorful settings. The group of people has been placed very thoughtfully and brings some life to the composition. Interesting idea to frame it vertically - well done!
Thanks for sharing

Hi Klaudio,
Well captured, perfect atmosphere with the good light management, well composed with people and very inbteresting decoration on these walls, well done.

Hello Klaudio,
When I was there with Andrew and Santo in my first evening in Melbourne, I haven't made any photos and then I somehow didn't go there any more, although it was quite near. Amazing lane with graffiti. HAha, they tattooed all the centimeter of walls and pavement.
Nice shot.

Dobar dan, popodne.
Kod mene je - 09,30. sati.
Intresantan tekst o gradu, mestu i trenutku ...
Lep pogled na ulicu sa grafitima i nailsakom ljudi ...
Dobar trenutak snimka, ostrina, kontrast i perspektiva, lepo pokazano mesto i trenutak, lepe boje.
Mladi vole da ostave trag i obeleze mesta na kojima se druze.
Dobar rad, sa lepom fotofrafijom u radionici.
U Cupriji mladi ukrasavaju prolaze sa grafitima uz saglasnost stanara.
Prijatno popodne i sve najbolje sa dobrim zdravljem.

Hi Klaudio,
Brilliant photo with superb graffiti. I do not think I've seen something similar in my life. Unfortunately I've missed this place during my last visit to Melbourne (may be next time). I like the vertical arrangement, the young people add nice life to the scene.
Very well done
Wish you a very nice rest of the week.

Hello Klaudio, very nice image here. I'm a big fan of grafitti, i see it as a form of art, of expression. These things shouldn't be banned. Good take here, allowing us to see this corner of Melbourne. Good take.

Ciao Klaudio
una immagine straordinaria sia per il soggetto che per la luce con la quale è stato ripreso che crea una immensa suggestione.
Eccellenti sia la composizione che il colore.
Ciao e buona giornata

Hello Klaudio,
Now, I've never seen a streetscene with so much graffiti before.
I'm not really a fan of graffiti but you show us here an excellent and colourful daily life and urban scene.
Excellent light management.
Best regards, Paul

This one is even better than the previous one !
Great effect.

Zdravo, Klaudio,
This photo from Melbourn reminds me Christiania in Copenhagen. And the local people there don't like to get photos of the faces too. ;)
There is a special mood on the night streets, well done.
Best wishes from Russia!

Amazing, the graffiti not only on the walls but on the road and pavement as well. The title suits this image so well.
jancal (224) 2014-03-01 14:44
For me, the tree and the light surrounding it are the drawing point of the shot. The figures even appear in awe of the tree. Great shot.

Hi Klaudio,
It is highly interesting to discover your series on Melbourne's graffiti lanes.
I particularly appreciate the night version, when the atmosphere brings an additional dimension of urbanity and gloominess. And against the black walls, the graffitis almost look fluorescent. The vertical composition seems to be the best option that suits the narrow alley and the main artwork on the wall.
Well done!
Bonjour Klaudio
le format vertical s'impose dans cette ruelle pour saisir les grafitis qui semblent irradier sous la lumière; apparemment, tu n'étais pas le seul à découvrir cet endroit, et les personnages donnent de la vie à l'image et évitent que ce soit une photocopie.
Bonne gestion de la lumière pour avoir des détails dans les ombres sans avoir de sur-exposition ailleurs.
Bon WE

The looming switch over to Daylight Savings, which comes three weeks earlier than usual this year, isn't expected to create the same level of headaches that preceded the Y2K deadline. However, corporate IT departments are still sweating the details and racing the clock to apply necessary patches for various operating systems and devices. Businesses aren't the only ones that may be affected. A variety of gadgets also require an update to make the time transition run smoothly.
Congress decided in 2005 to move up the start of DST this year, while extending it an additional week in the fall. The benefits include more daylight hours in the early evening and an anticipated reduction in energy use. But many devices are still programmed to adjust their clocks on the first Sunday in April, rather than the second Sunday in March.
An advisory published by the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) warns members not to underestimate the impact of the transition on IT resources. In a statement issued 30 days before the March 11 deadline, the organization warned, "The change means that any applications and systems not updated will operate an hour behind from March 11 to April 1. The resulting disruptions could affect information security, financial services and day-to-day scheduling among other functions."
Forrester Research offered the following rundown of affected operating systems:Windows XP (SP1), Windows 2000, and NT require manual updates; Solaris 8, 9, & 10, Aix 5.3, z/OS, HP-UX, Suse 8.9 and Red Hat EL require installation of a patch; Windows XP (SP2), Server 2003, Windows 2003 (SP1) and Apple OS X will update automatically with an Internet connection; Windows Vista and Suse 10 do not require a patch.
PCs aren't the only devices that may require attention to avoid a DST hangover. Many smart phones and PDAs could also be affected. For example, an update is also available for Windows-based cell phones and PDAs <http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/daylightsaving/default.mspx>. Blackberries and Palm OS devices also require attention to avoid complications.
Anyone who is unsure whether their system require updating can consult resources provided by their hardware or software manufacturer. Many of these are listed below:

Anne Hathaway Is Bald, Skinny and Oscar-Ready
Earlier this year, Anne Hathaway buzzed off her hair to play consumption-addled prostitute Fantine in what may be the most depressing Christmas movie of all time: 'Les Miserables.'
But what she didn't expect was that the new 'do would make her look like a boy. More specifically, a gay boy.
"When I eventually looked in the mirror I just thought I looked like my gay brother," Hathaway admitted during a screening of the film on Nov. 23.
And yes, she really does have a gay brother. In fact, she's known for donating money to same-sex marriage causes. So props to her for that.
But in addition to stealing her haircut from a circa-2007 Britney Spears, Hathaway also starved herself to look near death, eating only two squares of oatmeal paste a day to drop 25 pounds off her already slim Catwoman body.
"Looking back on the whole experience — and I don't judge it in any way — it was definitely a little nuts," she says now. "It was definitely a break with reality, but I think that's who Fantine is anyway."
Thankfully for the actress, her anorexic figure and tragic 'do — which ruined her wedding photos and landed her on our recent bad hair list — will probably score her an Oscar nomination.
After all, the Academy loves nothing more than pretty girls willing to be ugly. For a few million dollars, of course.

text: Hi all... I just picked up a used Klippermate - about 8 string jobs used - $50. I couldn't resist even though I only break strings maybe once a month. Anyway, gonna do my first job on an old Head Ti.S6 - with cheap strings that came with the machine and it's an old racquet I hardly ever use. Started reading everything I could find about stringing and think maybe ready to give it a go, but.... I look at Stringforum.net patterns for the racquet and see different pattern than what is shown in the Klippermate stringing guide. e.g. Klippermate Stringforum tie main: 9B, 7T 5H, 7T Assume B means same as H for head??? start cross 7T 8H Maybe more diffs, but this is enuf to confuse me. Am I reading this wrong? Guess I'll go by Sports Authority and look at a pre-strung racquet to figure it out. PS, does the "Stringer's Digest" show pics of the patterns? I'll only have 3 different racquets to string: Prince POG OS, Blade 98, Wilson K zero. Thanks for any clarification. Jim

Something had to give. It is the time of the semester when assignments come due, and grading piles up. It is the time of the year when furnaces, cars, bikes, and computers break down (I don't know how they conspire to do this, but they do). It is the time of life when the maximum number of offspring are requiring tuition to be paid, loans to be applied for, this that and the other to be bought. It is the time of the economy when two decades worth of savings are worth less than a decade ago, as if ten years of work was for nothing. It is one of those rare years when I have no summer teaching at all, and thus no summer income to speak of. It is the time of my life when, with finances like this, my 25th anniversary is coming up in a couple of months. We'll likely split a can of soup in celebration.
Something had to give. I can't cut back on my job, or they won't pay me. I can't cut back on parenting or spousing, just because. I can cut back on doing something I very much like to do, but which takes time I don't really have right now. So this might be it, or this might be it for a while. I really don't know right now.
I love my readers. They have helped me through so much already. I don't regret a moment of my time spent putting life into silly rhymed verses. I still owe some of my readers a signed copy of my book (I haven't forgotten!), and I will do that. One kind and talented reader is helping me (the delay is all mine) to re-write the book, add some commentary and re-organize, so that may come out eventually… and I will, of course, keep checking email and comments.
But something had to give, and so I am, at the very least, taking a break. I hope to see you soon, but if not, I still thank you from the bottom of all three hearts for supporting me, for enabling my obsession, for helping to create the Cuttlefish persona.
For now, though… Good-bye.

Summit Racing invites Junior Dragsters to display
- Details
- Published on Thursday, 27 June 2013 08:31
Summit Racing has invited six of our Bear Motorsports Junior Dragsters presented by Wiseco to be on display during the upcoming Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals, July 4-7 2013. "This was a impromptu marketing idea. The top two in points, in each of our three junior classes as of June 8th were chosen to represent," said Bobbie Bader. "We are excited for them to have this opportunity. If time permits, these juniors will get to make a pass on Sunday afternoon before the final round of eliminations."
Representing the juniors will be…
Novice: Allyson Downs and Simone Walker
Intermediate: Zac Gill and Stephen Crowell
Advanced: Nina Jacob and Scott Chitty
Many of the professional and sportsman racers who will be competing next week got their start in racing at their local tracks, just like these young folks.
"I started in 1992 in a Junior Dragster and dreamed of being a pro driver someday. A lot of kids have that dream and it doesn't happen for many of them. lt was one of those moments where it was hard not to be emotional because we had worked so long and hard to get there. That moment you work your entire life for; you breathe drag racing and it is hard to explain that exact moment, but it was a huge deal for my family." - Erica Enders-Stevens recalling her first career Pro Stock win at the O'Reilly Auto Parts Route 66 NHRA Nationals at Route 66 Raceway in 2012.
Click here for more information about our Mr. Gasket Super Series and our Bear Motorsports Junior Dragster presented by Wiseco points program and the various programs the juniors can earn points to participate in.
Tickets are on sale now to this year's 7th Annual Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals.

BERLIN – While Berlin's new comprehensive plan will be completed ahead of the state deadline, the work has been delayed by the results of a town survey, which revealed new directions to include in the planning document.
Seven of the 11 required comprehensive plan components have been completed, and five of those elements have been recommended by the Berlin Planning Commission for approval.
The Berlin Mayor and Council must approve the final draft of the comprehensive plan by October, a deadline set by the state of Maryland.
The remaining four elements are housing, implementation, municipal growth and water resources, according to Planning and Zoning Director Chuck Ward.
The housing section is nearly complete, Ward said.
Implementation is the last element of the plan to be considered.
The water resource section is dependent on the municipal growth section and cannot be completed until the growth component is finished, according to Berlin staff.
"The key right now is the municipal growth element," said Ward.
The survey of town residents results derailed the municipal growth element by revealing strong preferences among respondents that did not arise or were not strongly supported during public input sessions, and therefore have not been included in the draft comprehensive plan yet.
The survey was sent to roughly 1,800 households and garnered a 25-percent return rate, or about 440 households.
Some of the previously unconsidered issues brought up in returned surveys include a green belt around the town, keeping residential growth slow, residential uses downtown and focusing growth within existing town limits, instead of directing growth toward property annexed into town.
"Overwhelmingly, it was amazing how many people in town were concerned with historic preservation, and managing growth…the survey results came back and it was an eye opener for consultants and staff," said Ward of the survey.
"The results are very clear. It's not ambiguous. It's not iffy," said Mayor Gee Williams. "This is not something we have to worry about statistical anomalies."
Survey results will be released in the next few weeks.
"It is going to be our guidepost for some time," Williams said.
The survey included both comprehensive plan questions and more general questions generated by the Mayor and Council.
The Planning Commission will review the entire comprehensive plan draft in May and then send it to elected officials for final consideration.
The Mayor and Council will get the draft in June, according to staff.
A public hearing on the draft plan should be held that month.
Final approval of Berlin's new comprehensive plan could be reached as early as July, Ward said, which would be months ahead of the state deadline in October.
The town has been working at a new comprehensive plan for several years, last year finally engaging consultant Tim Bourcier of Davis Bowen and Friedel engineers to write the plan.
The Berlin Planning Commission will hold a work session on some aspects of the comprehensive plan on Monday, March 30, at 6 p.m. in Berlin Town Hall. The meeting, while not a public input event, is open to the public.

On Tuesday, (Jan. 28) Mötley Crüe announced their last tour as a band. According to a press release, the band has signed a formal Cessation of Touring Agreement today in Los Angeles, effective at the end of 2015.
"Everything must come to an end! We always had a vision of going out with a big f***ing bang and not playing county fairs and clubs with 1 or 2 original band members," Tommy Lee said in a statement. "Our job here is done."
The Final Tour will kick off July 2 in Grand Rapids, MI and run through 72 cities throughout the U.S. before going overseas. Alice Cooper will join the band on the road.
"Real hard rock bands are hard to find these days," Cooper said. "Mötley has always gone on stage with one attitude and that's to blow the audience away. That's exactly how we do it. Putting Mötley Crüe and Alice Cooper together is going to be just what this summer really needs. We're going to go out there and tear it up, and I can't wait to see Motley on stage. Mötley Crüe and Alice Cooper — a match made in… Armageddon?"
Mötley Crüe's attorney, Doug Mark of Mark Music & Media Law, explained the decision for the band to sign an agreement for their last tour.
"Other bands have split up over rancor or the inability of people to get along, but this is mutual among all four original members and a peaceful decision to move on to other endeavors and to confirm it with a binding agreement."
In conjunction with the tour, country record label Big Machine Records, have teamed up with Mötley Records to release a Country Music Tribute to Mötley Crüe. Artists confirmed to be featured on the country tribute album include LeAnn Rimes, Florida Georgia Line, Brantley Gilbert, Justin Moore, Eli Young Band and Cassadee Pope.
