It's a massive step in a new direction for the future of the company and we can't wait to tell you more nearer the time but all we can say is you're going to love it – start making space on your dressing table!
It has been a really crazy, emotional, challenging and quite unbelievable journey that Michelle re-lived for a BBC2 documentary with Peter Jones. In "How We Made Our Millions" – which was aired on Wednesday 9th November, the Dragon's Den mogul followed Michelle for five months to make the fly-on-the-wall insight into how the story began and some secrets of the brand's success.
Peter goes all the way back to the beginning of it all – Michelle's childhood in a one-bedroom tenement flat in Glasgow's East End.
She said: "I was a bit nervous about being filmed in a documentary style and at six foot seven it wasn't easy to forget that Peter was following me around.
"But I ended up feeling quite relaxed and I opened up to him about all the trials and tribulations of growing up, my younger brother dying from spina bifida when I was eight, and my dad becoming ill at the age of 38.
"I talked to him about starting off working at the age of 10 doing a paper round and leaving school at 15 with very little qualifications, and being a mother and all the highs and lows of the last 14 years since Ultimo started – all our celebs and secrets.
"I was in tears because it unlocked a lot of heartache, but on the other hand opening up about it like that was also quite cathartic.
"I also discovered that I could have some form of OCD and always have to arrange my lingerie according to colour.
"It's amazing how someone following you around makes you aware of things you do."

Press Release
Aino Kannisto
The Finnish photographer Aino Kannisto is being featured in her fourth solo show at Galerie m Bochum. In her latest photographs, which were for the most part taken in her home country, Kannisto has developed some new characters. She maintains here the subtle melancholy that is the signature mood in much of her work, and yet presents the viewer with further enigmas.
If we share Roland Barthes' view of the essence of photography, we would assume that a photograph should depict a past event, or, in the words of the French philosopher in his Camera Lucida: "that-has-been." But is what we see in Aino Kannisto's photographs something that has been? Can we ever know what has been when the photo was taken? Certainly, in the picture Untitled (Green Soap Bar), there was a bar of green soap in the shower stall in which a woman with long brown hair stood with her back to the camera. Surely, the woman in Untitled (Rushes) had been swimming for some time in the now motionless, deep blue water of the pond in which she can be seen crouching amid the rushes in the golden twilight. All of these references to the reality at the time these photos were taken can be justified; after all, the photographic medium still carries a modicum of credibility even today. And yet, Aino Kannisto's pictures display neither the truth of the moment nor the unpredictability of coincidence that Roland Barthes attributes to photography: Kannisto does not allow anything to appear in her photographs by chance. No beam of light is unintentional, no angle arbitrary, no gesture unplanned – no matter how subtle.
Each of Kannisto's photographs is arranged like a theater piece, and the photographer herself is always the protagonist in scenes that open up a vast realm of possible interpretations due to the absolute ambiguity of the events and narratives pictured. It is almost impossible to resist the urge to fill in the gaps and imagine what came before and after. At the same time, the situations Kannisto creates are so vague that we cannot even be sure if the woman in the bathtub is submerging herself in the water or emerging from it. The artist performs a balancing act between fiction and reality, narration and suggestion, familiarity and alienation in precisely constructed compositions that sometimes verge on the abstract and coalesce to form images imbued with a haunting atmosphere.

Aquinnah, MA: Pizza Night at Orange Peel Bakery
If you happen to be looking left before you approach the Aquinnah cliffs, you'll see the sign for Orange Peel Bakery—a fire-colored wooden disc with a long handle—and Juli Vanderhoop's domelike stone oven farther up her driveway. And if you happen to drive by on a Wednesday night, her driveway is overrun with cars, picnic benches, and long tables covered end-to-end with a random assortment of toppings: soppresata, arugula from nearby North Tabor Farm, broccoli, jars of pesto and Alfredo sauce, chicken sausage, and grape tomatoes.
It's pizza night at Orange Peel Bakery on Martha's Vineyard, and it's an organized free-for-all. The deal is that you stick ten bucks in a coffee can, bring a few cups of pizza toppings for sharing, and show up between 5 and 8 p.m. on Wednesdays. The huge wood-fired oven, which cooks the bakery's other famous wares like snails—croissant dough swirled with cream and studded with raisins—and baguettes, turns out as many as 300 pies per night, and you're welcome to make as many as you want until the dough runs out.
Walk up to the table and ask for a "blank slate"; moments later, you'll be handed a long-handled peel holding a round of dough dressed with sauce (a smooth classic tomato number) and shredded mozzarella. Dress it any way you like—with your toppings or someone else's—and hand it back to the bakers. Five or so minutes later, they'll bring you paper plates with blistered slices of your baked pizza that's crisp at the edge and a little floppy at the point—in a good way. Don't expect your whole pie to come back to you; they keep some up in the prep area to share with anyone else who might want to taste it.
Bring blankets to sit on. Bring a frisbee. If you like, bring drinks to share—you'll probably make new friends.

|Victoria and Victory Theatres - Charleston, SC
Photograph from, "New Guide Book of the Modern Charleston."
There is an excellent description of the Victoria in the book, "New Guide Book of Modern Charleston."
"The main floor of the house is supplied with large and comfortable seats, placed on a gradual incline that admits a clear view of the stage from even the seats furthest in the rear. There are boxes on both sides of the house. The balcony is excellently arranged. The Victoria is conducted by Pastime Amusement Company. It books only the highest grade of Vaudeville, and show the best acts on exhibition in this country. Splendid moving pictures are also shown at each performance."
The Victoria became associated with the Keith Vaudeville Circuit. It was also used for many road shows and local events.
In October, 1918, it was announced by Pastime Amusement Company that, "as soon as the Spanish influenza quarantine is lifted, the Victory Theatre will be opened with a policy of Keith Vaudeville. In view of the glorious record of the U.S. in the war to crush the Prussian government, Mr. Sottile decided to re-christen the house, and it will henceforth be known as the Victory."
Orchestra, balcony and gallery combined, the Victory had a seating capacity of 1,850 persons.
In addition to Vaudeville, the Victory was frequently use for stock plays, civic meetings and concerts by the Musical Arts Club.
The Charleston Symphony Orchestra began performing there and the Footlight Players moved their activities to the Victory.
In 1922, Irish Patriot Eamon DeValera appeared. He was touring America on a crusade to free Ireland. Mayor John P. Grace invited him to Charleston.
Albert Sottile recalled, "Mr. DeValera's appearance at the Victory caused a great ovation. The applause from those in the balcony were so thunderous that it caused the balcony structure to sink several inches, causing a big bulge in the center. A near catastrophe was miraculously excaped.
The situation was discovered the following morning. Whereupon, the theater was closed and among the repairs and restoration, columns under the balcony that had proven objectionable when first used in the erection of the Victoria (and removed in 1917) were again installed to safely support the balconies."
The movie projector was placed so high in the second balcony that the resulting picture, when shown on the screen, was wider at the bottom than at the top.
The last performance at the Victory was on December 15, 1945.
By 1947, the theater was not large enough to be profitable. Building materials were still in short supply following World War II. It was too expensive at the time to replace the Victory with another theatre. The theatre was torn down and the land filled and greaded for a parking lot.

HARTSDALE, N.Y. -- It is the Super Bowl for IHOP.
The pancake chain celebrated National Pancake Day at its restaurants across the country, including locations in Hartsdale, Yonkers, Larchmont, Mohegan Lake, West Nyack, and Poughkeepsie.
Customers got a free short stack of buttermilk pancakes with the hope they will donate to help children battling critical illnesses. IHOP is hoping to raise $3.5 million nationwide.
Empty tables were in short supply at the Hartsdale location, as the parking lot was full of people wanting to get their free flapjacks. The Hartsdale location was donating to the Children's Miracle Network.
Tara Smith, a New Rochelle resident, was enjoying some chocolate chip pancakes and chicken fingers with hot chocolate with whipped cream.
"It's delicious," Smith said. "I was super excited when I heard it was National Pancake Day."
Smith said she was looking forward to donating in honor of her free pancakes.

Way back in my rookie years, I had a telephone call from a customer who was complaining that our weight loss cat food wasn't working for their cat. After three months the cat still hadn't lost any weight. I started to explain that changing the food alone may not achieve weight loss for all cats, and that the amount of food that they feed may have to be reduced for their cat. She responded with "Well if I do that he will just eat the other cat's food." "Other cats? What other cats?" "I have three cats, two are OK, and one is overweight. The overweight cat finishes his food and then goes and eats the other cats' food." I have had many stories of similar situations repeated to me over the years, and because of the first incident I started referring to the situation as Fat Cat Syndrome. It involves a multi-cat household where one cat is overweight. For some reason, it often involves a household with three cats. The problem is how to control the food consumption of an overweight cat when there are other cats in the house.
The natural eating habits of cats are significantly different than dogs. Dogs evolved eating in packs, where there was competition for food, so even with all the alterations in their genetics most dogs still eat their food rapidly, at one meal. Cats evolved as solitary hunters eating many small meals in a day. To use animal feeding behaviour terms, dogs are meal eaters, and cats are nibblers. In today's cat population, the majority of cats nibble at their food if it is left out during the day. However, at least a third of all cats meal feed. The problem in a multi-cat household is free-feeding the food, which works for the nibblers, but it does not work if one or more of the cats are meal eaters. The meal eater, especially if he is dominant, will gladly eat everyone's leftover food.
What to do?
No more free-feeding your cats. The nibblers will need to learn to meal feed. If your cats have had a communal feeding dish, the first step is to get separate dishes. A feeding schedule has to be established where every cat has their own dish and their own space. With some cats it is best if they can be fed in separate rooms. Most often, the cats can still be fed in the same area, but don't line their dishes up all together. To separate the dishes you may need to get a partition, like a baby gate. If you have an aggressive-overweight cat, you can try a feeding crate, where the entrance is small enough so the overweight cat can't get into the crate or box. You could also go vertical. Most cats love to climb and will feel quite at home feeding in an elevated spot. Initially you will have to supervise their entire feeding, but your cats will soon learn when and where to eat. Start by having the food available for 30 minutes and then pick up any uneaten food. As your cats learn to meal feed, pick up their dishes after they walk away, don't leave the food down.
Slow it down
To slow down your fast meal eating cat, try using a bigger dish where the kibble is only one to two layers deep. This will make it harder to pick up the kibble and therefore force him to eat more slowly. If you are feeding wet food, add some water to the food to slow down their consumption, but not so much that they turn away from their food.
Sometimes separate rooms, partitions, or elevated dishes are not practical or possible. There are foods which can help in these situations, because the same food can be fed to all cats. The most common are multicat foods, which have carnitine which helps burn more fat in an overweight cat and is still very healthy for your other cats. Recent research has shown cats fed lower carbohydrate foods are better at controlling their appetite, much like the Atkins diet for humans. The carbohydrate level is not something you will see mentioned on the label of a cat food. However, what you can find is the guaranteed protein level. For almost all foods there is an inverse relationship between the level of protein in the food and the level of carbohydrates. Therefore, higher protein cat foods typically have less carbohydrates.
High protein foods often also have higher fat levels, which may seem counter intuitive to what we normally think of for a weight loss food. The amount of the food fed has to be less than for a weight loss food, but because the carbohydrate level is lower, the appetite is suppressed. For this reason many cat parents have had success in feeding or supplementing with wet foods that have high meat protein and moderate fat content. There are also dry cat foods which also have higher protein levels. Look for the ones that are high in protein and low in fat.
The Performatrin Ultra Slim Care is a weight loss food that is formulated to be lower in carbohydrate to help reduce appetite. In addition there is a blend of fast and slowly absorbed carbohydrates to stave off a spike in blood glucose after eating. To help the overweight cat burn more calories, included in the recipe is Carnitine and green tea extract.

- Interview and investigate individuals who qualify for Personal Recognizance Bonds (PR Bonds) and provide that information to the judicial officers who make a determination to release the individual from custody. Once released the officer will provide supervision to ensure the individual attends all scheduled court appearances and does not re-offend while out on PR Bond.
- Provide compliance monitoring to individuals who have been released from custody with conditions on surety bonds; conditions may include – drug testing, substance abuse treatment, special needs monitoring, domestic violence caseload, GPS or electronic monitoring, Ignition Interlock Orders or supervision.

what I don't understand is why christianity is such a popular trend here in America and yet majority of the christians here just never do things outside their community. They consider what they have done is noble but in facts they just isolate themselves in churches, and all activities they ever done are within the churches, they go there for the sermons and occasionally they perform skits or go on retreats, there is a solidarity and a common interest I understand but other than that what had they ever contributed to the society. And they freaking get all jealous because an atheist is doing community services so they conclude that this guy is doing so just to get attention since he is godless. Are they fucking out of their fucking minds? I embrace logic and critical thinking and seriously can't wrap my head around this is that they think by doing things in their church therefore they can bring positive radical changes to the world. On the contrary, they just fucking waste precious time that can be used on other meaningful things.

sorry just venting
They're not thinking about logic, Zheng, and therein lies most of the problem. This was how they were raised as children, many of them. It's a tradition which stretches back at least decades if not centuries in the US. It's also a nice and easy and comforting lie which many of them have never bothered to investigate. If someone attacks the bible, they can claim to have indulged in bible study, except that what they have studied has been spoon-fed to them by a pastor or priest or deacon, who either knowingly or unknowingly avoid those portions of that book which may be disturbing. Some more "advanced" may tackle those sections, but are ready with the excuses woven by apologists to explain away the murder and the rape and the questionable morality. Depending on what church and where it is, the indoctrination may be very thorough, and resistance to our side of the coin equally so. Besides, believing is easy. Knowing ... that's a lot harder.
Oh, and don't worry about venting. We all do it, I think!
They're better organized, better connected and better funded than we are. But, not really as dominant in numbers across the board as they appear. If the secular-minded folk of this secular-founded nation want to do something about it, …all the means to do so are already in place.
This is a good place to vent, and many others feel the same way. Certainly the public image of christian activism and christian politics is of intolerance, willful ignorance, and bigotry. There are many individual christians who are good and kind people, and many who do involve themselves in their communities unrelated to their church and religious politics. But the harm that is done by religion, and in the US and many places by Christianism, is immense. Thank you for expressing what many feel.

Summit League Men: South Dakota State Wins Fourth Straight, Beats IUPUI
Two days after dismantling the Summit League's best team, Fort Wayne, South Dakota State avoided a letdown at home against the worst team in the conference, IUPUI, beating the Jaguars 83-59 at Frost Arena.
SDSU took good care of the basketball, turning the ball over just four times and led by as many as 31 points in the second half as three players scored in double figures: Jordan Dykstra with 17 points, Brayden Carlson 14, Cody Larson with 13.
The home team also distributed the ball well, with 18 assists on 25 made baskets.
The Jackrabbits attacked IUPUI with a balanced attack early with six different players accounting for the first 15 SDSU points as the Jacks opened the game shooting at a 66 percent clip to lead by as many as 17 in the first 20 minutes.
Zach Horstman helped spark the Jacks off the bench, shooting 2-of-3 with a 3-pointer for seven points, as starters Larson and Chad White each had eight, while Carlson added seven.
The SDSU defense held IUPUI to just 31 percent shooting in the first half, while outrebounding the Jags 20-14 in the first 20 minutes.
IUPUI was without guard Ian Chiles, who was out of the lineup for the fifth straight game with a wrist injury. Chiles had 21 points in the first meeting with SDSU last month.
The win is the fourth straight for the Jacks and moves them into a second place tie with Fort Wayne in the Summit League, just one game behind first place North Dakota State.
South Dakota State (14-7/6-3) is on the road next week, playing at Omaha and Western Illinois.

The StartX Files: Learning the Ways of LyX
Lessons in the Circle of Life
It is 1992 and I am in New York City, with Neo-Nazis protesting outside.
I am in the City because I have just started a new job for the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers working as an assistant editor in the IEEE's Transactions department. There are neo-Nazis outside because at that time, the IEEE's Transactions department was just across the street from the United Nations. Because of this, demonstrations were almost a daily occurrence outside of my office building.
The neo-Nazis were always loud, but they were never any trouble or the least bit frightening, even if you happened to be something other than Caucasian. New York's Finest certainly saw to that. The scariest thing that ever happened to me in New York, actually, was walking in parallel to Richard Simmons on Sixth Avenue on the way to the PATH station. Now that was scary.
In 1992, I am sitting in front of my new computer, trying to learn the intricacies of this Solaris operating system before me, which is what the IEEE used to compose its Transactions. The publishing software loaded on this Sun Workstation was something called Arbortext Publisher and at this time was ticking me off.
Arbortext Publisher used these newfangled doohickies called SGML and TeX (at least, new to me) to put together a document instead using a straight WYSIWYG system like the Ventura Publisher application I was used to. For the first few days, I was in Hell, using these stupid SGML tag whatchamacallits to format the text of the articles being sent in by learned professors from around the world. Being engineering articles, many of them were loaded with math equations, which precipitated the use of TeX with a Math Editor tool to build the equations sent in from those same learned professors.
But I should not complain too much about working with an SGML-based document editor. After becoming proficient in that markup language, it was a cinch to use HTML later, with its finite number of elements and properties. This was the beginning of my Web experience, as it turned out.
Also along the way, I learned how to use this powerful typesetting language called TeX--and even bought myself a copy of Donald Knuth's TeXbook, which I still have to this day. I found that yes, it is not something for the everyday worker-bee to use. But when you want your documents to be typeset as hyper-accurately as possible, then by golly, I can think of few better tools.
Today, that spiral-bound TeXbook is sitting on my desk in front of me, as I try to refresh my memory while I use LATeX with this week's word processor,LyX. There are no neo-Nazis outside, just Girl Scouts selling cookies. But the memories are all rushing back to me as I delve into the world of document processing.
Word Processors vs. Document Processors
If you approach LyX from the standpoint of including it in with all of the other word processors, you would be a bit mistaken. It is more of a document processor--less focused on the words than the structure of the document itself.. Applications within this family include the old Arbortext Publisher of my misbegotten youth, Docbook, and Interleaf, to name a very few.
For those of you who are not clear what a document processor is, I'll try to give you the nickel tour. When you put a document together in a word processor, like KOffice or OpenOffice, you will typically type in the text and then go back and add attributes to that text as you need them, like making emphasized words italic or first-level headings 18-pt Helvetica in blue. When all is said and done, the document will look very close to how it will look on the printed page.
When you put a document together inLyX, then you will typically type in the text and then go back and assign styles to that text as you need them, like giving emphasized words an Emphasis style or first-level headings a Heading 1 style. The Emphasis style could be italic and the Heading 1 style 18-pt blue Helvetica and when all is said and done, the document will look very close to how it will look on the printed page.
So, you may ask, what's the difference?
The difference is this: in word processor documents, there is no meaning attached to the attributes that are assigned. Meaning is inferred by the human reader. In document processor documents, meaning is directly assigned to text by style elements, not matter what the physical attributes of those styles may be.
Take italics, for instance. Italics is one of the more frequently used text attributes (in English), since we use it for emphasis and to denote titles of books, movies, etc. I have already used this attribute for multiple reasons in this column. You, as the reader, knew why I was applying this attribute when I did. Or, at least I hope you did.
But the text editor I used to type this column had no way of assigning meaning to the italicized phrases used here. In HTML or a "regular" document, the text is just italic. Nothing more, nothing less. This would be the case if I were using a word processor, too.
In a document processor, the situation is different. I can apply an Emphasis element to sections of text that I want to emphasize. I can apply a BookTitle element to sections of text that form the title of a book. I can also design a document template that says, okay, the Emphasis element will make text appear to be italic, and so will the BookTitle element. But no matter how I make them look, the Emphasis element will always signal the emphasized text, the title of a book will always be within BookTitle.
The advantages to this leap out at you right off the bat: first, formatting becomes much easier because you can always point the document to a new template and every element's physical attributes will immediately change to that of the template (emphasis as bold, for example). No finding and replacing, just a smooth transition to the new stylesheet.
A lot of this may sound like working with HTML and CSS technology, and there are parallel advantages. But the second major advantage to having a document structured in this manner goes beyond the look of the document. It derives from the content of the document itself. By tagging individual elements of the document, you give an enormous amount of power to those who must index and maintain such documents. Not only is text saved, but the text's meaning is recorded too. So, you can very easily create a search tool that will give you all instances of articles with Brian Proffitt as the author but ignore all of the articles where Brian Proffitt is mentioned a a blithering idiot.
Not that there are all that many of the latter, mind you.
This is the kind of ability LyX and LaTeX will give you when you use it. But how does the application itself run?

Like spring-cleaning your house, spring tonics often signal the end of dreary winter with a cleansing of the body—a promise to accept the nourishment of the new season.
It seems everyone has their own creative recipe. I have heard everything—from sassafras, dandelion, mint, spinach, sweet fern and ramps and more.
Growing up, I often visited relatives in Massachusetts. They referred to "tonic" as one would "soda" or "pop." My mom and grandma touted the health benefits of tonics, and discouraged drinking soda.
They always played (their word) with teas, juices and flavored waters. I can still see my grandma sitting in her favorite outside wooden chair with a big brown pitcher on her lap using a wood pounder to beat the hell out of some lemons to make the most delicious lemonade.
Other times, she and mom would beat up on fresh tomatoes and add water and their favorite ingredient, apple cider vinegar, to create an elixir. They made strawberry, sassafras, sumac, maple and peach drinks, and many others that I can't even remember. All were delicious. They added fresh mint to many of these for a distinct perk. In addition to apple cider vinegar, grandma and mom also used lemons, juiced or whole, to enhance some of their concoctions.
Like mother, like daughter—and my daughter, who has a juicer machine and makes some wonderful drinks with it. I especially like the ones containing carrots, beets, celery and cucumber, very light and healthful tasting.
Drinking a spring tonic is a morning ritual in many cultures across the world. Native Americans are no exception. Many recipe examples I have found in Native books feature tonics made with sassafras and/or dandelion. Other Native flavorings favored in spring are birch, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. And hundreds of teas and medicines are created from various barks and roots. I was surprised at the delicious bark teas from both white pine bark and hemlock pine (not the aquatic shrub that is poisonous).
A word of caution about sassafras, it might be toxic if taken on a long-term regimen, check with your doctor to make sure it doesn't interfere with any medications you may be on. If you are foraging for greens like mint, dandelion, sweet fern or others, be sure to wash thoroughly. Another caution comes from personal experience. For several years, I made a drink that I assumed was very healthy every day; I was kind of addicted to it, actually. I put V-8 juice, the juice of half a lemon, a small splash of chili sauce, another of Worchestershire on ice and wolfed it down. It tasted great and healthy, but after a few years my dentist suggested the lemon juice might be responsible for my substantial loss of tooth enamel. Word to the wise: Enjoy everything in moderation. Don't be afraid of lemons though; they add so much flavor and freshness to many of these spring tonics. Ginger, fresh fruits, fresh herbs, cucumber and grapes are all good additions to water. Let them steep in the fridge overnight. Try different combinations to make your own custom spring tonic and feel good all the time.
A Basic Everyday Tonic
8 ounces of water
3 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Use room temperature water, adding the ingredients and stirring to mix thoroughly. Drink in the morning. If you can't drink it all at once, refrigerate and sip all morning until it is gone. Try this every day for at least two weeks.

Deputies have arrested a man accused of critically stabbing a stranger in Vista on Thanksgiving morning.
Kristopher Scott Nesmith, 21, is accused of critically stabbing a 67-year-old man in the 1600-block of Carriage Circle Thursday around 7:30 a.m, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.
When Vista Station deputies arrived at the scene that morning to investigate a report of a stabbing, they discovered the victim suffering from life-threatening stab wounds.
The victim told deputies his attacker was a stranger he'd never met. The victim was transported to a local hospital via air ambulance with life-threatening injuries.
Nesmith had fled the scene by the time deputies arrived. However, by Friday evening, authorities had arrested Nesmith.
He was taken into custody during an unrelated domestic violence disturbance around 6:15 p.m. in the 200-block of South Melrose Drive in Vista. Authorities were then able to link Nesmith to the attempted murder case on Carriage Circle.
He was booked into the Vista Detention Facility on charges of attempted murder, felony domestic violence and resisting arrest. Nesmith is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday.
The stabbing remains under investigation. Anyone with information should contact the Sheriff's Department non-emergency line at (858) 565-5200, Det. Julian at (760) 940-4912 or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477. Tipsters may remain anonymous.

I have recently purchased a second home in the Tomahawk area and have had trouble finding reliable help for various projects. I am very new to the area and have few sources to rely on.
Many folks I contact don't answer their phone, return messages or just plain don't show up. As a business owner myself I cannot understand why someone goes into business and is unprofessional in their communications.
So, I'm asking for any referrals for people you feel are quality minded, reliable and have worked with personally.
I am in need of gutter installation, deck repair and sources for gravel and delivered quality firewood.
Perhaps the Leader might consider some type of online resource for referrals of this nature. I have to assume many online users of the paper are visitors who don't have access to other sources like me, but have money to spend in your local economy.
Thanks in advance for your help.

We'll see how this works and this might be how we handle questions like this in the future (and prevent some of the Cabin/Resort posting issues we've run into).

N-Sider: Nebraska Veterans Recall Visit to WWII Memorial
To "Respond to Randy" click on the link below and choose "Randy York's N-Sider" under "Area of Interest" on the new screen. Please include your name and hometown and share your thoughts.

They're All Predicting a Husker Win Over KU
Three of the four World War II veterans who are honorary sentinels at today's Nebraska-Kansas football game had the experience of a lifetime this year. They were flown to Washington D.C. to visit the National WWII Memorial built four years ago, and they hope others will contribute to the Heartland Honor Flight Program so the 750 Nebraska veterans who are still on the waiting list can have the same kind of experience they did.
Army Corporal Lambert Mills, 86, Army Air Corps First Lt. Lloyd Brownlee, 85, and Navy Seaman First Class Robert Jenkins, 82 – three of Nebraska's four WWII Gate Sentinels for today's annual Veterans Day Salute at Memorial Stadium – would drive the fourth honoree, Marine Private First Class Ralph King, 86, to D.C. themselves if they could.
"I'd like to go if I get a chance," said King, who lettered four years as a high hurdler on the Nebraska track and field team. "It's been a great trip for everyone who's gone. I know all the fellas really appreciate getting the opportunity and having the experience."
"I wish my father would have been afforded this opportunity before he passed away," Nebraska Athletic Director Tom Osborne said of Charles Osborne, a WWII vet who is a personal inspiration for his support of Nebraska veterans visiting the memorial through free flights that cater to those in poor health, have limited financial resources or might have emotional reservations about making such a big trip.
"The experience was unbelievable," Mills said. "I can't believe the way we were treated in Omaha the morning we took off . . . 10 motorcycles in front of us, Legionnaire members in cars with police car lights, stopping traffic for us, long lines of people holding American flags on both sides of the street, bagpipes playing, cameras clicking, soldiers standing side by side at attention . . . we all had tears running down our face before we ever took off. All of us felt so honored, so very, very honored.
Ohio Teenagers Show Their Appreciation for 105 Nebraska Veterans
"We got the same kind of reception when we arrived in D.C. and visited the memorial. Junior high school kids from Columbus, Ohio, were lined up for two blocks – on both sides of the sidewalk – when we got off the bus. They all clapped (just like they do in that television commercial) and kept saying 'Thank you, thank you, thank you.' Bob Dole, Ben Nelson and Chuck Hagel were there waiting for us. Thirty-four of us were in wheel chairs, but we all felt very special."
They should have. They all had put their lives on the line, held their country's trust, kept its faith and, unfortunately, saw too many of their fellow soldiers lose their lives.
Most Honor Flight veterans had never been to D.C., but after going, they understood the symbolism of all memorials, including Iwo Jima and Korea. The Changing of the Guard and visiting the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were as poignant for them as the WWII Memorial.
"I won't deny it. As I was standing in front of Audie Murphy's grave, I choked up a little bit," Jenkins said. "I was really moved by the whole experience. I couldn't believe how quiet and peaceful it was in our most famous national cemetery. Here we all were, in the middle of D.C., and you just can't believe how quiet it was."
Jenkins spent 3 ½ years on the same ship with more than 700 others in the South Pacific. The Blue Springs native manned a 40-millimeter cannon, served as a captain's orderly and was one of four helmsman who actually steered the boat. They were in combat from New Zealand to the Marshall and Carolina Islands and wound up fighting in the second Battle of the Philippines. About midnight on Nov. 3, 1944, their ship was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine, and 125 fellow American soldiers were killed or missing in action.
Two heart attacks also threatened Jenkins' life when he was 67, but he's come back strong. For the last 15 years, he walks two miles a day at least five days a week.
Twenty-eight years ago, Mills had colon cancer. "It had spread to my liver, and I was told I had six months to live," he recalled. "I always believed in prayer, and I never stopped praying that entire year taking chemo-therapy. I've been blessed."
Mills served on the front lines in the European Theatre in WWII. He had story after story of near-death experiences, and never really understood why someone in the next foxhole wouldn't make it when he did. One of his best buddies was shot right beside him. Once, at 4:30 in the morning, Mills was able to convince three German soldiers to drop their guns and surrender, trapping them near a river bank next to a small, but important bridge.
This is a 'Great Country and a Very Caring Nation'
"I was a brave soldier and a tough soldier, but no better than others who served around me," said Mills, who spent his last 30 years in the workforce as a mechanic at Goodyear. "I believe the Lord answers all prayer, even when the answer isn't always the one we want. This is a great country, and we are a very caring nation. I had a commander who gave me his jeep and every three days it was my job to make sure our German prisoners were properly fed and taken care of. If they needed medical attention, they got it right away. When we joined our allies from Russia in France, everyone wanted to come over to our side of town because we treated them so much better."
Mills, Brownlee, Jenkins and King share something besides their military experience. They are all devout Nebraska football fans, and not surprisingly, all four predict a Cornhusker victory over Kansas on Saturday.
King, who will spend time in good friend Don "The Fox" Bryant's West Stadium suite, is the most confident, predicting a 35-17 Nebraska win. Mills, whose favorite all-time players are Dave Humm, Tommie Frazier, Dean Steinkuhler and Grant Wistrom, forecasts a 27-14 Nebraska win. Jenkins, acknowledging Freeman White and "Big Bob" Brown as his favorite players of all time, sees a 37-31 Nebraska victory.
A big Tommie Frazier and Eric Crouch fan, Brownlee predicts a 51-49 NU win. "I'm expecting a footrace," he said, admitting that just the thought of a wide-open game might explain why Frazier and Crouch are his favorite all-time Huskers.
Big plays triggered one more favorite memory. "I'll never forget Bobby Reynolds' run against Missouri," Brownlee said. "That wasn't just sensational. It was super sensational."
Former NU Statistician Sees the Power of High Numbers
He should know. Brownlee started coming to Nebraska games in the 1930s when he was a freshman in high school and sat in the South Stadium knothole section. For 50 years, he found better seats at almost every home game and served for decades assisting Nebraska statisticians in the press box.
Even though he retired from that duty two years ago, "I still keep track of everything about Nebraska football every," Brownlee said. "I hate to see Phil Dillard out at linebacker in this game because we're going to need all the good ones we can get. When I say 51-49, I know it can go either way. It's a real toss-up. I hope the game isn't a footrace, but I'm afraid it's going to be."

|Head Coach
|(203) 814-4550
|7th Season
C.J. Marottolo is in his seventh season as the head coach of the Sacred Heart men's hockey team.
In his first season, Marottolo won the Bauer Hockey Coach of the Year in the Atlantic Hockey Association. He guided the Pioneers to a 21-13-4 record, tied for the most wins in program history, and a 12-game unbeaten streak, the longest in program history. In the 2013-14 season, the Pioneers were one of three teams in the country to improve by 10 wins over the previous season, going 12-24-0 with a season-opening win over then-#1 UMass Lowell. Sacred Heart was 11-16-0 in Atlantic Hockey that season as well. Last season, SHU reached the Atlantic Hockey Tournament quarterfinals while winning double-digit games for the second straight season.
Marottolo, a North Haven, CT native and former Choate Rosemary Hall hockey star, was on the Yale men's hockey staff for 13 seasons and helped the Bulldogs reach the NCAA Tournament twice, including the 2008-09 season. He was promoted to associate head coach in 2003. During his tenure, he recruited four All-Americans, nine All-ECAC Hockey selections and four Ivy League Rookies of the Year.
An assistant coach at Trinity College for two winters before Yale, Marottolo played collegiate hockey at Northeastern University and graduated in 1989. The following two years he served as player/head coach of the Hockey Club of Metz, France. While overseas, he was also head coach of Euro-Sport/Drummond Hockey School in Amenville, France. Marottolo, who speaks French fluently, has also served as an assistant coach for Team New England at the 1997 Select 16 USA Hockey Festival and coached the 1998 Select 15 team before becoming head coach of the 1999 New England Select 15 squad that finished fourth.
He and his wife, Lynn, daughter, Kailey, and son, Jack, reside in North Haven.

Global demand for small volumes of hydrogen (<1000 Nm³/h) is rising. Until now, much of this hydrogen was delivered to customers by truck – which is neither cost effective nor good for the environment. In most cases, on-site production is a much more viable option.
However, non-linear economies of scale mean that conventional steam reformer technology cannot simply be downsized. Which is why Linde Engineering teamed up with Plansee SE and support of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) to develop a new small-scale reformer process based on palladium membrane tubes that can produce pure hydrogen without a separate purification unit.
This innovative process uses thin palladium layers, which are exclusively hydrogen selective, to produce pure hydrogen. The composite palladium membranes comprise a porous metal support, a ceramic diffusion barrier layer and the final selective, thin and defect-free palladium layer.
The new membrane tubes are highly permeable, have good H2/N2 selectivity and remain stable under production conditions. They deliver consistent results on an industrial scale.
In addition, the chemical equilibrium of the reforming reaction shifts towards the products and the whole process can be operated at lower temperatures of 600-650°C while delivering higher conversion rates.
The new process also consumes less natural gas. The compact unit is easy to operate and cuts investment costs.

Birmingham City and England U21 starlet Nathan Redmond looks set to complete a move to Norwich City in the coming days, after the two clubs agreed a fee in the region of £2m, according to talkSPORT.
Birmingham have had to sell some of their key assets this summer to diminish some of their financial worries, with owner Carson Yeung facing prison charges in his native Hong Kong.
The trials against Yeung are related to money laundering, and because of this Birmingham have no funds available for transfer dealings this summer.
This has forced manager Lee Clark into selling the likes of Jack Butland, Curtis Davies and now Redmond to ease the financial hardship.
The signing of Redmond looks to be a coup for the Canaries, with a fee of £2m way under Birmingham's valuation of their player. But because of their cash-strapped position, they will have to sell Redmond under his potential value.
Redmond made his debut in August 2010, as Birmingham's second youngest player ever, aged at only 16 years and 173 days old. He has gone on to make over 60 appearances for the Blues, and he possesses both Premier League and Europa League experience.
And Redmond looks set to link up with former Blues manager Chris Hughton, who brought him into the first-team squad during his time with Birmingham.
Redmond looks set to complete a medical in the coming days, and will join up with his new team-mates later this week.
Redmond joins Dutch striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel as Norwich's second signing this summer. Hughton will hope that the pair can fire Norwich to a mid-table finish next season.

Kanye West Wins Three 2012 Grammy Awards
Kanye West nabbed three awards at the 2012 Grammy Awards on Sunday (Feb. 12) in Los Angeles. The rapper-producer won Best Rap / Sung Collaboration for 'All of the Lights,' which featured a slew of artists including Rihanna, Kid Cudi and Fergie.
In addition, Yeezy's 'All of the Lights' was recognized for Best Rap Song and his album 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' won for Best Rap Album. West beat out some major contenders in that Best Rap Album category including Nicki Minaj's 'Pink Friday,' Lil Wayne's 'Tha Carter IV,' Lupe Fiasco's 'Lasers' and himself with 'Watch the Throne,' his collaborative album with Jay-Z.
Unfortunately, West wasn't there to collect his three golden gramophones (where are you Yeezy?), but legendary producer Jimmy Jam, who was a presenter, was happy to accept them for him. "I'm coming home with a lot of Grammys tonight," he joked with the audience.

Plug-in Dependency Visualization
Understanding dependencies between plug-ins in Eclipse is a complex task. The current plug-in dependency analysis tools available in Eclipse are restricted to simple tree views with drill-down support. This project aims at adding visualization support to the Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment (PDE) in order to help provide cognitive support to developers as they analyze their plug-in dependencies. This view is being done as part of the Google Summer Of Code.
The Project
The dependency visualization aims to provide a set of views to assist with plug-in dependency analysis tasks. In particular, the views will provide cognitive support to people as they attempt to understand the dependencies between their plug-ins.
For a complete description of the view, please visit the project website.
1. Complete the PDE View and add 3 plug-in filters
- Filter by JRE Version (Bug#168729)
- Filter by Enabled / Disabled (Bug#183658)
- Filter by Regular Expression (on bundle name) (Bug#183661)
2. Add dependency path analysis (show why a plug-in is required by highlighting dependency paths). (Bug#183815)
3. Add improved navigation support
- Forward and back button support (Bug#183818)
- Add search support for the list of show plug-ins (Bug#183819)
4. Remove the dependency on GEF (Bug#183820)
Accessing the code
Look here for a complete description of how to access the code for the PDE Dependency View

A doctor in this acreage of anesthetic generally doubles up as a surgeon, as anaplasty is generally the primary band-aid to difficulties of this nature. Just like several medical areas, you will acquisition sub-specialties that majority of physicians accept to pay absorption to. Some doctors accept to focus on those centered about the back or hip ailments. Listed actuality are pointers for award the appropriate one three tips you can use to acquisition the appropriate physician.
Aboriginal and foremost, alpha with your ancestors doctor. The seek for an orthopedic able should alpha with your ancestors doctor.
