General discussion about the verse material
Following the now well developed backward movement, the next projects at hand are the Story of Beren and Lúthien and the Narn I Chîn Húrin. In both of these we have to consider the inclusion of the verse material given in HoME III: The Lay of Beleriand. Aiwendil wished for such a discussion and I agree that it would be good to find some common ground how to deal with the verse material before we start on one of these projects. I hoped that Aiwendil would open this discussion, but since I have worked already with both Lays, it might be best if I give first my thought on the matter.
Since both cases are very different we should discuss them in terms. I will start with the Lay of Leithian:
As can be seen from the chapter-structure I used in my proposal I wish to include the complete Lay of Leithian recommenced in our Version of the Legends of the Elder Days. My reason for this is the fact that the Lay is most elaborated version of that story we have. In addition the recommenced Lay is relatively late (1951-52). Tolkien worked the story later, and he started even a prose Tale of the same detail as the Lay. But this prose version does not went fare and is not given since it is very close indeed to the Lay. The shorter Versions on which the text of Sil77 is based and which Tolkien wrote 1936 are also not given in detail in the HoME. Thus f we are not going to take the Lay our Version would basically be the one used in Sil77. This is not bad in itself but it shows how much we would lose by rejecting the Lay.
On the other hand we have some obvious problems with the Lay: All emendations are very difficult but in a poem they are even worth. Only in a very limited number of cases changes can be handled with by pure replacement or by cutting out some lines. In many cases even such simple things like the change of a reference to the Valar done in the poem by the word gods does lead to rewriting of one or two lines.
Our rules do allow us to make such changes for metrical reason and we have already tried them in the cases of The Lay of Eärendil and The Horns of Ylmir. But we also have already in these shorter poems experienced the difficulty of such an undertaking.
To be honest I dont think it will be easy to adapt the Lay of Leithian. I have found 7 places were we must change the Lay to fit a later developed storyline and 12 places were I felt that some info from an other source would be good to expand the Lay (some of them from the older versions of the Lay, some single words that might be worked in easy, but some complete passages that might prove impossible). Last but not least I found 48 places were a changed nomenclature will force us to emend the poem (most prominent examples are Thu, Gorthu and Gods). But set against much more than 4000 lines which the Lay of Leithian has this is not overmuch. And I think it is worth the effort.
But any way, that are the facts and we are free to make our choice. Here are what I see as our options:
a) Skip all the Lay and take only the best prose version we can produce, with exception of Berens Song of Farwell which JRR Tolkien himself included in the QS.
b) Following Christopher Tolkiens lead and restrict our self to the Song-contest between Sauron and Felagund and Berens Song of Farwell.
c) Expand Christopher Tolkiens view and take up parts of the Lay that we feel are in a way separateable and need no or only minor up dating to expand a prose version.
d) Take the Lay as our basic text and update it were necessary.
As already said above I am for trying option d. If we fail in it, we will at least get some Idea of what can be done in an attempt on option c.
Now lets turn to the Narn I Chîn Húrin, or better to the part of the Túrin-Saga were the Narn in Unfinished Tales does not provide a basic text. Up to the point were Beleg starts pursuing the Orcs that had captured Túrin The Lay of the children of Húrin is no option for us at all. The Story line was changed greatly and with the Narn we have a text that is even more elaborated then the Lay. But form Belegs journey through Taur-nu-Fuin to the coming of {Flinding}[Gwindor] and Túrin to Nargothrond the Lay is the most detailed version of the story we have. And only in few places the details are clearly outdated (e.g. the placement and description of Nan-Dungorthed). Beyond that arrival at Nargothrond the Lay does provide some further details and nice expansion to the story, but it can not be take as single source since the relationship of Túrin and Finduilas and Gwindor are dealt with in greater detail in the Appendix of the Narn.
The options in this case are:
u) Skip all the Lay and take only the best prose version we can produce.
v) Take up parts of the Lay that we feel are in a way separateable and need no or only minor up dating to expand a prose version. (Such as Beleg shoting the wolf-wardens and then later his finding the point of Dailir his arrow with his hand.)
w) Taking in as much of the Lay as seems fit form the view of storyline and trying to update it were necessary. This will result in a version were extensive parts of verse will be interrupted by short sections of prose, which are necessary to bring the story to the later storyline.
x) Take all the parts of the Lay as before, but try to incooperate the prose sections that interrupt it into the meter of the Lay.
z) Take all the parts of the Lay as before, but skip the lines of the Lay and were ever it makes some sense introduce changes for grammatical reason, so that the character of the alliterative verses will be lost and the result reads as a prose text.
A mixture of option w, x and z is also possible of course.
Option w was my choice when I worked on Maedhros first draft for the Narn. This has the advantage that it can be cut back to option v or developed to version x or z if the result is not satisfying (which seems possible).
Out of my work I will give some numbers of changes, so that the amount of work can be seen that might be needed: I took up about 1500 lines into the text which were divided in 8 sections. The shortest sections is about 65 Lines and the shortest intermediate prose sections is about 3 sentences. I needed 102 changes for reasons of nomenclature and 21 minor changes within the verse for reason of a changed storyline.
After working with the poem I am not sire if we can manage option w. But I am still inclined that we should try that option and see what can be made in that way. A later development or cutback would then be easy, if once we come to the conclusion that option w will not go through.
The Kinslayer
Let me first begin by stating that I'm a huge fan of the Lays.
Concerning the Narn I Chîn Húrin, as it relates to our purpose, when I was doing my draft, I didn't consider the work on the Lay because the text that is provided in the Narn is later than that of the Lay of the Children of Húrin. I'm in the process of reviewing Findegil changes in the draft, and I have to say that the additions of the verse do in fact upgrade our work, I'm not sure that we can incorporate all the verse that he wanted (option w) but I think that we can work in that direction.
Regarding the Lay of Leithien and how it relates to our text. I'm unsure on to how much of the Lay material that we should use. Personally, I think that it is a little ackward to have such huge amount of verse, and in the end, have a little amount of prose. I think that I would like to use as much of the Lays as possible in this part too.

As I see it, the real problem is Beren and Luthien. With Turin, we have only a relatively short section for which the Lay is the best source. But for Beren and Luthien, the Lay is a far more detailed and sophisticated telling than any prose version. To omit it completely - which, I'm afraid, is something we may be forced to consider - would be a loss comparable to omitting the entire Narn or the whole of the later Tuor.
Findegil provides a good list of options in both cases, but, at the risk of oversimplifying, I would say that we have three possible fundamental strategies:
1. Use the lays more or less in their entirety wherever they are the best source.
2. Mix verse passages with prose passages.
3. Use prose only.
Option 3 by no means necessarily implies the rejection of all the material from the Lays. There is the important matter of conversion to prose to be considered. One could, in theory, go so far as to produce prose versions of the lays in full. The problem with this is twofold: first, it involves a great deal of tampering with the text and second, the style that results from a more or less direct conversion from verse tends not to be "good prose". But one could certainly envisage this technique being used on a smaller scale. I am inclined to think it a good candidate for dealing with Turin. That is, for the section where Beleg rescues Turin from the Orc camp, we could simply write a prose version of the Lay and incorporate it into the basic (prose) text.
For Beren and Luthien I am very doubtful about using the lay as the basic text. We encountered serious difficulties even with the short poems we have dealt with so far - and considering the difficulty we frequently encounter in making alterations even to prose passages, I think that the necessary modifications to the lay may prove impossibly difficult. And even were we to commit to a "pure verse" incorporation of the Geste, we must necessarily switch to prose for the sections following the escape from Angband, since they were never reached in the lay. In a sense, then, we are already, at best, mixing verse and prose.
I see problems, then, no matter what we do. Perhaps the thing to do is to pick what look like some really troublesome spots and work on them, to get an idea of how difficult it would be to work the Geste in verse form.

I hope you don't mind this intrusion, but I am very much looking forward to reading along on this next venture of yours.
Personally, I am hoping that as much of the verse as possible can be retained.
Thanks for all your hard work!

I personaly see the greater difficulty with the verse material in the course of the Narn.
But first lets look at the Lay of Leithain: If you look at the numbers of changes I provided it will be seen that in the Lay of Leithian I found about one passage that needed a change each 80 to 100 lines. And the points of trouble tend to gahter to gether in some "hot-spots". Thus we have long passages of the Lay were we need allmost no change at all. Of course there are also troublesome passages such as the encounter of Felagund and his company with Sauron, were a good deal of changes is needed. But I still think we can handle it. Our dealings with the shorter poems stears for me rather the hope that these changes can be done.
That the point were the Lay of Leithian breaks of would be a hard break in our narrative was clear from the start. And this can not be avioded by a rewriting of the verse material to prose. We can only avoid that if we would leave out any details given in the Lay. But that would contardict our overall goal. In addition a conversation of the whole Lay of Leithian into prose would in my view be much more difficult than to incooperate the necessary changes into the verse, and the result could be much more awakeward then a imperfect line here and there in such a long poem. I think further that we should not mix prose and verse more than necessary. This means in the case of the Lay of Leithian, that I would try to provide the whole story up to Carcharoth biting of Berens hand in verse form.
So I am for Aiwendils option 1. in that case.
Now lets take the Lay of the Children of Húrin: The numbers provided in my first post are much more dramatic here: We have about 1 change each 10 lines. The problem is in addition that the Lay is hopelessly outdated, so that in relation to the lenght of the passages much more changes for storyline reasons are necessary. What makes the situation even worth is the alliteration. Words or rather syllables that are part of the alliteration can not be changed easilly.
In my view Aiwendils option 1. is impossible here. What could be done in that way would be my option x, were all intrusions of prose that are necessary are reformed to verse. But that seemed even more difficult to me than editing the verses.
Thus in the case of the Lay of the Childern of Húrin it might be necessary to rewrite the verses to a prose text. We can consider this even for some parts only. At least that would allow us to avoid jumping from verse to prose and back too often. But I think that the starting point of such a work would be a version were we include the verse material and make the necessary changes. With that done we can see if the changes can be done within the verses or if we have to rewrite them to prose.
I think it would be good, to have that version of the Narn from Maedhros with my additions in the private forum soon, because it could be the starting point mentioned above. I will try to bring that out the next few day. I am working on the list of general changes right now, which is the final work for the privat-forum-version. What this version will provide is a kind of a maximum input from the Lay. Each addition is of course discussable if it is worth the efford. But it will at least give some idea of what we are discuss about. When I can follow up with a version for the public forum is not so clear. As the number of changes is great, to produce a version that covers them all but does not give the full text is much work and will take some time. In addition I would like to include some comments to the public version, which I left out in the private-version.

Dear Piosenniel,
when I left my PC it came back to my mind that it would have been a good idea to answer your post, and not only that of Aiwendil and Maedhros.
Input from outside the active members is ever welcome even if it does no more than sowing interest in the results. These are the kind of messages that keep us working when our owne motivation is wanting. So do not minde to make an "intrusion" when ever you feel like doing it.
Beyond that I will now try to motivate you (and possibly other readers as well) to do even more. If we start the discussion of changes done in the verse material we would definitly be greatfull for every help that we can get. I do not speak of the arcane discussion of complicated cannon issues that will surely come in even in the course of the poems. Who ever is interrested in such discussion is invited to participat in them. But here I think of the changes for the reason of meter, alliteration and ryhming. For such discussion a Tolkien-new-be who has a likeing for Tolkiens poems is as good equipet as a Tolkien-fanatic that had read each published bit several times so that he does know them all by heart.
So please feel invited to add your voice to any discussion when ever you have something to say.

Piosenniel: I can but echo Findegil in welcoming your "intrusion" and urging you to join the discussion any time you have any comment at all.
Findegil: I agree that the best way to go with the Geste is to incorporate the whole of it in verse (option d), if it can be done. I fear that even such an apparently simple change as the updating of "Thu" may prove very problematic for both metre and rhyme. But I suppose there's nothing for it but to go ahead and try to work on the poem, and see how difficult it turns out to be.
Another issue with this approach is how (or if) we can introduce additions from other sources, besides mere changes. I'm not sure how many cases of this we'll run into. The one that occurs to me at the moment is a passage from "Ros" that tells that Luthien learned Beren's tongue after the escape from Tol-in-Gaurhoth, and gives a small bit of dialogue between them. This is the kind of thing that ordinarily we could just insert into the prose. But if we are keeping the Geste in verse, we have these options:
1. Omit it.
2. Insert a short piece of prose in the midst of the poem.
3. Formulate a verse addition.
None of those options seems entirely satisfactory to me.
As for the Narn: I see less of a problem here simply because the portion for which the highest priority version is in verse is much shorter. I don't see any particular reason that the alliterative verse would be more difficult to make changes to than the rhymed couplets of the Geste, but I agree that there would be considerable difficulty (though not necessarily insurmountable) in revising the passage and letting it stand as verse. Nonetheless, I think this is still a valid option that we ought to consider. Again, it seems to me that if possible, the best course is to include the whole section containing Hurin's rescue in verse; and again, it's the possibility that I doubt, not the mere idea of incorporating verse.
But I think another very promising option here is the conversion of the section into prose. It would be a delicate operation, to be sure, but I do not see any reason that it could not be done in principle.
In addition to the rescue from the Orc camp, there are a few details concerning Nargothrond in the lay that we may wish to add to the basic prose text (which I suppose here will be GA with additions from the Narn). In particular, I am thinking of the arrival of Turin and Gwindor and the feast held thereafter. So, if we opt to include these, we may be converting passages from verse to prose in any case.
The Kinslayer
In the Narn I would as Aiwendil suggest try to transform the verse to prose (again I don't feel qualified for that) only in the parts that additions from others text are going to be made.
I think that we could advisable to only make the transformations from the least amount of lines possible in order to maintain JRRT exact words and to include the other parts. It would be quite beautiful to have the additons from the Lay where there is the description of Nargothrond.
Piosenniel: I'm glad that you have taken the time to read this stuff. I would really like if youwould comment on what you have read and gave us your thoughts.
I remember that someone called something like mark 12_15 or something, asked me for a portion of our work and never gave us the feedback.

About the addition you desiered from Ros: I did not consider that particular passage as jet, but I have tried to add a short passage from GA in the conversation of Felagund and Celegrom and Curufin. And I must say that I am not happy what I produced. If the groupe is not able to find some better solution, I think we will skip the passage in the end. But for the passage you would like to add I could see even a further option: we could add it in retrospect, since it is not bound up with some speciale point in the narrative.

I have posted the first draft for the Narn text in the privat forum. The public version of it will still take some time.

Greetings to all [esp Antoine and Pio],
I have never spent anytime considering the Narn issue, so I will pass over it. The Lay however I would like to cast a couple of things into the hat.
I would first off suggest a parallel text for the Beren & Luthien Chapter, as far as possible.
Leaving space in either column when there is no parallel material.
This preserves both sources and allows the reader to move back and forth w/ out missing either.
Examples of this can be found most readily in 'parallel gospels' and such. I imagine also one sees this in collegiate circles for many ancient texts w/ many variants.
Anyway I feel it is far and above the best way.
Option 2 in my world of preferences is 'C' add in material as it fits and seems not to distract from the flow of the story. CJRT did it brilliantly w/ the finrod vs. sauron scene.
- as always these days,
good luck!

Anyway, the Lay of Leithian and Of Beren and Lúthein is not the kind of sources that strice my as being very much appart. We have as jet in this project combined "silently" sources that were much more contradicting each other in deatil and in essential features of the story (like The Wanderings of Húrin and The Nauglafring).

Fin. in regards to your bafflement re: my opinion on the Narn. What I meant was that I had never considered it in any serious detail. That it needed to happen and that it would involve the grey annals, 77/99 and UT's Narn was a given. Just never pondered the details. Indeed it was however the first set of texts I conflated by switching back to the 77/99 when the UT Narn left gaps.
As for the parallel idea - It would make sense for a working basis IF you can overcome the technical difficulties of posting 2 columns here on the downs. Perhaps if it seems desirable to all, it could be done in some other format and shared offboard.

United States District Court, N.D. West Virginia
August 17, 2017
DALLAS MICHAEL ACOFF, Plaintiff,v.JOHN R. GORBY, SGT. and MICHAEL CROGHAN, Defendants.
pro se[1] plaintiff, Dallas Michael Acoff
("Acoff"), filed this civil action asserting
claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The case was referred to
United States Magistrate Judge James E. (STAMPeibert. The
defendants filed a motion to dismiss, which the magistrate
judge construed as a motion for summary judgment under
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(d). Magistrate Judge
Seibert issued a report recommending that the defendants'
motion be granted. The plaintiff filed objections to the
report and recommendation. For the following reasons, the
magistrate judge's report and recommendation is adopted
and affirmed, the defendants' motion to dismiss construed
as a motion for summary judgment is granted, and the
plaintiff's objections are overruled.
alleges that, while incarcerated at the Northern Regional
Jail ("NRJ"), he was beaten and pepper sprayed in
violation of the Eighth Amendment. A tower guard reported
that a group of inmates were congregating around one of the
cells, so Michael Croghan ("Croghan") went to
investigate. ECF No. 20-1 at 1. At the cell, Croghan smelled
alcohol and attempted to enter the cell to search for it.
Id. However, Acoff blocked the cell entrance while
another inmate flushed the contraband. Id. Croghan
pushed Acoff aside, entered the cell, and searched it.
Id. John R. Gorby ("Gorby") then ordered
the inmates back to their cells and put them into lockdown.
refused to comply with several orders to be handcuffed and
returned to his cell. Id. Acoff was then pepper
sprayed and ordered to comply again. Id. He
continued to refuse and threw a carton containing milk at the
cell door. Id. Acoff eventually complied, and he was
handcuffed, removed from the cell, and taken to the medical
unit where he was examined by a nurse. Id.
was then taken to the booking room where he was placed into a
restraint chair. Id. Acoff continued to refuse to
comply with commands and thrashed around in the chair until
one of his legs came loose. Id. As the officers
attempted to restrain the loose leg, Acoff continued to
thrash, throwing his head around. Id. Gorby and
another officer attempted to apply pressure to Acoff's
hypoglossal pressure point, under the chin, but it was
ineffective. Id. The officers then successfully
applied pressure to Acoff's jugular notch pressure point,
where the neck and sternum meet, and the officers were able
to strap Acoff's leg down and regain control over him.
Id. During and after this struggle, Acoff yelled at
the officers and made comments that could be interpreted as
vague threats. The defendants provided video of most of the
encounter, which this Court has reviewed and finds to be
consistent with the facts recited above.
defendants filed a motion to dismiss that relies upon
attached incident reports and the video. The magistrate judge
entered a report recommending that the defendants' motion
to dismiss, construed as a motion for summary judgment, be
granted. Acoff then filed timely objections to the report and
Applicable Law
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this Court must conduct a
de novo review of any portion of the magistrate
judge's recommendation to which objection is timely made.
Because Acoff filed objections to the report and
recommendation, the magistrate judge's recommendation
will be reviewed de novo as to those findings to
which objections were made. As to those findings to which
objections were not filed, those findings and recommendations
will be upheld unless they are "clearly erroneous or
contrary to law." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A).
Rule 12(d), if "on a motion under Rule 12(b)(6) . . .,
matters outside the pleadings are presented to and not
excluded by the court, the motion must be treated as one for
summary judgment under Rule 56." Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(d).
Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56, this Court must
grant a party's motion for summary judgment if
"there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact
and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of
law." Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(a). A fact is
"material" if it might affect the outcome of the
case. Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, 477 U.S. 242, 248
(1986). A dispute of material fact is "genuine"
if the evidence "is such that a reasonable jury could
return a verdict for the non-moving party."
Id. If the nonmoving party "fails to make a
showing sufficient to establish the existence of an element
essential to that party's case, and on which that party
will bear the burden of proof at trial, " summary
judgment must be granted against the plaintiff. Celotex
Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322 (1986). In reviewing
the supported underlying facts, all inferences must be viewed
in the light most favorable to the party opposing the motion.
See Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co. v. Zenith Radio
Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 587 (1986).
party seeking summary judgment bears the initial burden of
showing the absence of any genuine issues of material fact.
See Celotex, 477 U.S. at 322-23. "The burden
then shifts to the nonmoving party to come forward with facts
sufficient to create a triable issue of fact."
Temkin v. Frederick County Comm'rs, 945 F.2d
716, 718 (4th Cir. 1991), cert. denied, 502 U.S.
1095 (1992). However, "a party opposing a properly
supported motion for summary judgment may not rest upon the
mere allegations or denials of his pleading, but . . . must
set forth specific facts showing that there is a genuine
issue for trial." Anderson v. Liberty Lobby,
Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 256 (1986).
the magistrate judge did not expressly consider qualified
immunity, the defendants raise the issue in their motion to
dismiss. Accordingly, this Court considers the issue de novo.
"The doctrine of qualified immunity protects government
officials from liability for civil damages insofar as their
conduct does not violate clearly established statutory or
constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have
known." Pearson v. Callahan, 555 U.S. 223, 231
(2009) (internal quotation marks omitted). Courts must
consider two steps in determining whether an official is
entitled to qualified immunity. Id. at 232.
"First, a court must decide whether the facts that a
plaintiff has alleged . . . make out a violation of a
constitutional right. Second, . . . the court must decide
whether the right at issue was 'clearly
established' at the time of the defendant's alleged
misconduct." Id. Courts need not determine
whether a violation has occurred if the court finds the right
at issue was not clearly defined. Id. at 236.
Eight Amendment forbids 'the unnecessary and wanton
infliction of pain'" by a prison official. Hill
v. Crum, 727 F.3d 312, 317 (4th Cir. 2013) (quoting
Whitley v. Albers, 475 U.S. 312, 319 (1986)). To
prove an excessive force claim, a plaintiff must show: (1)
that the prison official's use of force was objectively
harmful such that it violates contemporary standards of
decency; and (2) that the prison official's use of force
was not "applied in a good-faith effort to maintain or
restore discipline, " but was intended to
"maliciously and sadistically . . . cause harm."
Hudson v. McMillian, 503 U.S. 1, 7 (1992). It is the
nature of the force used, and not the extent of the injury
caused, that serves as the relevant inquiry. Wilkins v.
Gaddy, 559 U.S. 34, 34 (2010). However, "not every
malevolent touch by a prison guard gives rise to ...

Treasury Bond Investment Strategy
Treasury bonds are absolutely risk-free from default. However, there is a time risk if the bonds need to be sold prior to maturity. If market desired yields rise above the coupon percent, and the bond needs to be liquidated, it will have to be sold at a loss. If desired yields drop below the coupon percent, the market value will increase. Right now, many Treasury bond coupons are significantly greater than the market rates causing significant increases in the market values of many Treasury bonds. Here is a strategy that can possibly increase your wealth and cash flow.
Sell the Treasuries that have large increases in value – some as much as 30% to 40%. Reinvest the proceeds in longer-term corporate bonds. This will capture the gains, increase your portfolio's bond face values and in many cases increase your cash flow from the coupons. The trade off is at greater default risk since the corporate bonds are not as secure as the Treasuries, and a lengthening of the maturities of your bond portfolio. Work out the numbers, and then decide.
The above is presented for informational and educational purposes and should not be construed as a recommendation.

Hubby and I are heading to Cambria this weekend for a much-needed getaway. As always, we're looking for good places to eat. Last time we were there we went to the Old Stone Station (loved it) and Brambles Dinner House (we felt a little too young in there and for the price it was not that great). We've heard mixed reviews about the Sow's Ear and would prefer to avoid it for now. So, other than those three... any recommendations?
We'd especially like suggestions for breakfast and lunch. I'd also like to find a nice, scenic place to have a drink or two one evening.
As far as types of food - we live in Santa Barbara, and by default seem to eat (and enjoy) a lot of "California" type of food, i.e. foofy stuff involving seared ahi and frizzy lettuce... so something NOT in that mold would be a treat, because a person can only eat so much seared ahi in one year. We do enjoy all types of cuisine though traditional French seems to be too much to handle.

Jerkoff Murtha and the Republican Hacks
Pretty good story at Washington Times: MAHONEY: Defeat for another House seat
It is about Ltc William Russell
In short...
[...] On Thursday night, the Pennsylvania chapter of a party that prides itself on national security told Mr. Russell: You can put your neck on the line for us on foreign shores and we'll tolerate you as our nominee in elections we don't think we can win. But don't dare get in our way when we are trying to conduct business as usual. For although you spent a career defending this republic instead of getting rich, this time around, qualified, working-class combat Veterans need not apply.
To Mr. Russell's credit, the savvy paratrooper read the establishment's hand, refused to be intimidated and already has earned enough signatures to run in the primary, which is scheduled for May 18, the same day as the special election.
A Zogby poll of likely Republican conducted Feb. 17 and 18 indicated that Mr. Russell leads Mr. Burns by an astounding 29 points. Because of the unique, dual-election dynamic, Republicans voters can elect Mr. Burns in the special election but also give Mr. Russell the nod to be the nominee for the November general election. Under this likely scenario, Mr. Burns would instantly become a lame duck and the Republican establishment would again be exposed as bumbling jackals. [...]
Frikkin moron Republicans.

If you had seen the empty tomb, would you have believed?
On Ash Wednesday, our parish handed out a small booklet, "Returning to God," a compilation of inspirations from Henri Nouwen, a popular writer of the last century.[i]
He noted that Jesus' life was divided in two distinct parts, one in which he was acting and, the other, as he waited to be acted upon. Nouwen helps the reader see that passion is in part this: waiting to be acted upon, waiting to see what will happen.
In this sense, you live the passion.
You wait:
to see whether that special someone will say yes;
to see whether your loved one will come home safe from war, or from that office party, or the senior prom;
to see whether that special job will come through;
to see whether your loved one will recover from illness.
You wait and, in that waiting, you experience anxiety, frustration or even fear.
You want relief. You want to rise above this pain and worry.
But sometimes, the "resurrection" you hope for does not come.
In reflecting on the Gospel for Easter Sunday,[ii] we see that Mary Magdalen did not think Jesus would rise again. She went to the tomb to anoint a dead body. She found the tomb empty. She did not understand.
Then, once informed by Mary Magdalen, Peter and John rush to the tomb. Peter entered, but he did not understand. Then John, the beloved disciple, entered. A great spiritual insight propelled him from grief into spiritual exultation. He saw and believed.
Where do you and I stand today? We have heard that Jesus has risen from the dead.
Do we really believe?
"John saw and believed," one might say, "but I have not seen. How can I really believe?"
So many people have become blinded to the power of belonging. We have been conditioned to believe that each person is the center of his or her own universe.
It's the mentality of the toddler: I exist, the world revolves around me."
But if you once you say, "God exists," and believe that he does exist, you can no longer fool yourself into believing that you are the center of all reality.
And then, if you are both mature and honest, you must pursue this God. You must hear this "Hound of Heaven," this God who whispers to your soul, "I am here. I love you. Find me and discover what it means to be human, to be fully alive."
This, dear brothers and sisters, is the only "resurrection" from anxiety, fear and hopelessness. We cast aside the old dough of "religion as usual" and run to the Word of God, to the unleavened Bread, the Eucharist, the Bread of Eternal Life.[iii]
Then, after hearing God's Word and receiving Eucharist, we can no longer be fooled into believing that we are the center of all things. We can no longer be fooled into believing, and we can no longer say, that we have never seen God.
[i] Nouwen, Henri, All Saints Press, St. Louis, MO, paper, 32 pages, a compilation of a number of Nouwen's inspirations edited by Steve Mueller.

Semper Fi
I was recently reminded of this poem by Rudyard Kipling by a very special lady and since loyalty is the corner stone of all my relationships, this is for all the people who expect loyalty from me and from whom I expect likewise.
The Thousandth Man
-Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936)
One man in a thousand, Solomon says,
Will stick more close than a brother.
And it's worth while seeking him half your days
If you find him before the other.
Nine nundred and ninety-nine depend
On what the world sees in you,
But the Thousandth man will stand your friend
With the whole round world agin you.
'Tis neither promise nor prayer nor show
Will settle the finding for 'ee.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine of 'em go
By your looks, or your acts, or your glory.
But if he finds you and you find him.
The rest of the world don't matter;
For the Thousandth Man will sink or swim
With you in any water.
You can use his purse with no more talk
Than he uses yours for his spendings,
And laugh and meet in your daily walk
As though there had been no lendings.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine of 'em call
For silver and gold in their dealings;
But the Thousandth Man h's worth 'em all,
Because you can show him your feelings.
His wrong's your wrong, and his right's your right,
In season or out of season.
Stand up and back it in all men's sight --
With that for your only reason!
Nine hundred and ninety-nine can't bide
The shame or mocking or laughter,
But the Thousandth Man will stand by your side
To the gallows-foot -- and after!

Summer Camp 2018
Our 2018 Summer Camp experience runs June 4 - August 3 in two sessions. First Session runs June 4 - June 29 and Second Session runs July 2 - August 3 (closed 4th of July). Children will be placed in age-appropriate groups that match our school year classrooms. We will welcome applications for children ages twelve months through five. Camp, though similar in experience, is a separate program from the school year. If you are not currently enrolled in the 2017-2018 school year and are interested in attending the Early Learning Center for the summer, you must complete a separate application to do so. Enrollment in summer camp does not guarantee a space for your child in the 2018-2019 school year. However, once you are enrolled in the school year program, you are guaranteed a space for the summer that follows the school year.
We welcome applications for children new to the ELC, but some programs are full. Please inquire about availability prior to completing an application for a new child.

Katy Noonan owner of Living Collective – Oh So Doyenne Photo Essay
doiˈ(y)en/ a woman who is the most respected or prominent person in a particular field.
What is Living Collective?
Entering Living Collective feels like stepping into a world that understands and celebrates your quirks and weirdness. It definitely does not feel like your average stuffy clothing store. They have a ton of rad and unique items at their pop-up store located in TechArtista. Things that will make you laugh, things you will fall in love with and things you will need in your closet. Katy Noonan meets me at Living Collective to chat about business. She tells me, "we have Women's and unisex clothing, accessories, prints, pins, patches, fun stuff… we even have spell kits!". They are open Tuesday-Saturday 12pm-7pm at 4818 Washington Blvd (in the TechArtista building). You can also shop online or check out their app LVNG CLTV.
How did Living Collective get its start?
"I have been in retail since I was 16 but it wasn't until working as a manager for Marc Jacobs that I really wanted to have my own shop. A good deal of my jobs were spent working for one specific designer at a time so the idea of being able to seek out and carry a collection of different brands, artists and designers was really exciting to me. After living in Chicago, Boston, and New York I felt that moving back to my hometown of to St. Louis was the perfect place to start Living Collective. There wasn't anything in the city that was similar to what I wanted to create."
"The biggest hurdle was really just stepping out of my comfort zone and going for it. I had been in a 9 year relationship that had just kind of fizzled out (albeit comfortable) and working jobs that weren't satisfying me creatively or challenging me so I had to make a big decision to uproot and try something completely different.
"Leaving NYC to come back to a place where I hadn't lived in 10+ years was difficult but it was really where everything made sense. Besides wanting to bring something new to St. Louis, I also had a support system here and I knew I wanted to be in a place that would financially work for a start-up business. What kept pushing me was the simple thought of regret, I didn't want to wake up one day upset because I didn't at least give it a shot. I can always go back to what I was doing before Living Collective and now with a hell of a lot more experience and the satisfaction of having built my own business from the ground up."
We asked Katy what's one thing she does really well and is proud of with Living Collective.
"I genuinely enjoy helping customers and connecting with new people on a personal level. I have to say that it has definitely been one my greatest strengths in my career (I am much happier in front of people than a computer).
"Growing up, I always had my own style, sometimes it made me a bit of an outcast but more often than not, it allowed me to befriend and fit in with a lot of different types of people because I wasn't pigeonholed to one group, style, or genre. I have definitely carried that with me in a sense of "wear what you like and what makes you happy". That mentality really breathes into the life of the shop and "living collective" as a theme. I am really proud of the fact that we have such a wide demographic of customers, almost anyone can find something they love in the shop".
What is your favorite story about your business?
"The greatest thing is that I have been able to meet so many incredible people that I am sure I would not have otherwise had the chance to meet. One time I was on a plane to San Francisco and researching some co-working spaces while we were in the air. The guy next to me ended up ended up looking over my shoulder and we got to talking about these different spots in St. Louis, turns out he had been doing his own co-working research because had just left his firm to start his own practice of being a Small Business lawyer. Definitely a great person to have fallen into a chance meeting with and we have become friends and stayed in touch.
"Him and his wife actually have a pet pig which I pig sat for recently and brought to hang out at the shop… so okay, scratch everything above., my favorite story/experience I have had because of the business was getting to hang out with Templeton the pig".
Have you faced any adversity being a woman in your field?
"Absolutely! I think that is a huge reason I really wanted to be my own boss (I have worked with a myriad of different personalities). The fashion industry also definitely has its own set of drawbacks for women with the industry standard of beauty they have set. Everyday you are looking at sizing and images of models and helping people with clothing and fit (and that means having to sometimes feel someone's disappointment when they are unhappy with their own body) and I have struggled with body issues myself in this realm, It can be very difficult getting out of the mindset of comparing yourself to others or feeling you need to fit a specific size. The designers and brands that offer a larger range of sizing are still few and far between".

So what is the Giant's Causeway? It is a natural phenomenon in Northern Ireland on the coast.
Some 50 to 60 million years ago, during the Paleogene period, Antrim was subject to intense volcanic activity, when highly fluid molten basalt intruded through chalk beds to form an extensive lava plateau. As the lava cooled rapidly, contraction occurred. Horizontal contraction fractured in a similar way to drying mud, with the cracks propagating down as the mass cooled, leaving pillar-like structures, which are also fractured horizontally into "biscuits". In many cases the horizontal fracture has resulted in a bottom face that is convex while the upper face of the lower segment is concave, producing what are called "ball and socket" joints. The size of the columns is primarily determined by the speed at which lava from a volcanic eruption cools. The extensive fracture network produced the distinctive columns seen today. The basalts were originally part of a great volcanic plateau called the Thulean Plateau which formed during the Paleogene period.
According to legend, the columns are the remains of a causeway built by a giant. The story goes that the Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn MacCool) was challenged to a fight by the Scottish giant Benandonner. Fionn accepted the challenge and built the causeway across the North Channel so that the two giants could meet. In one version of the story, Fionn defeats Benandonner. In another, Fionn hides from Benandonner when he realises that his foe is much bigger than him. Fionn's wife, Úna, disguises Fionn as a baby and tucks him in a cradle. When Benandonner sees the size of the 'baby', he reckons that its father, Fionn, must be a giant among giants. He flees back to Scotland in fright, destroying the causeway behind him so that Fionn could not follow. Across the sea, there are identical basalt columns (a part of the same ancient lava flow) at Fingal's Cave on the Scottish isle of Staffa, and it is possible that the story was influenced by this.
It was honestly one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen.
Keep in mind, these photos are taken at about 10:30 at night. The sun goes down after 11:00pm. Very strange.
I got a good night's sleep and my American friends left the next morning. In fact, EVERYONE left the next morning. I asked the hostel girl if I was the only one there and she laughed and said "you sure are." Wow! There were still a few people working so I wasn't completely alone but I sure had that solitude I was craving.
After some breakfast, I caught a bus back into Bushmills and headed to the Distillery to see how Bushmills whiskey is made. It was a pretty fascinating tour and at the end I got to sample some 12 year old whiskey. Not the biggest whiskey fan, persay, but I sure have had my share on this trip.
|Bushmills Stream
|The Distillery
Afterwards I hunted down some lunch. I figured it was time I had some fish and chips. It was so good. I don't think I would ever eat this meal in the U.S. but here for some reason, it just tastes good.
I headed back to the hostel and took a little nap and then wanted to go back to the Causeway. The night before I had walked around the top rim but I wanted to hike the bottom so i could climb on the stones. Yeah...I hiked...on a difficult trail for 6KM. I'll give y'all a minute...
All right?
OK. So I got out to the stones and there were a bunch of people climbing and bouncing around on them. It was really bizarre and cool and peaceful. I was walking toward the end and this lady said "Hi honey, do you want me to take your photo?" I kind of laughed and said sure.
She told me to pose and she took my photo.
|Add caption
|This is what all the stones look like.
I thanked her and we started talking. Her name was Olga, from Finland and she was 72 (!!!). Her friend that she was with, Kieran, was 52 and he was from Northern Ireland. They had just been sitting there talking all day. So I joined them. And the 3 of us sat on the edge of the country looking at the ocean for 3 hours just discussing life and adventures and family and friends and philosophy and religion, you name it. And somehow in the middle of all that, all the rest of the tourists disappeared and we had the place to ourselves. Olga said the three of us were all at Crossroads in our lives and yet here we sat sitting together for a peaceful afternoon. It was magical. Olga drifts around the world teaching English and usually finds a place to camp so that she can just enjoy nature and time to herself. I recommended my hostel since there was no one there.Finally, they decided to move on and said their goodbyes. I sat there for a while longer and enjoyed my private viewing of the Causeway until more tourists showed up. I scrounged up some dinner back at the hostel and went to bed early. I woke up the next morning to get some breakfast before I had to head out and Olga was sitting there. She had decided to stay there but didn't want to disturb me when they told her I had gone to sleep. (Sweetest lady)
So we sat in the little nook and looked out over the Causeway and had breakfast. She was heading on to Scotland to continue her adventures so we said our goodbyes. I doubt I will ever hear from her again, but she will always remain an inspiration. Just little encounters such as these are what make this trip the best.
I caught a bus a few hours later to Derry in County Donegal. Derry is the city of the 1972 massacre, Bloody Sunday. Turns out, it's more than just a U2 song.
Derry was an interesting town and very easy to get accustomed to. I found my new hostel with ease and checked in. The lovely woman gave me a city map and pointed out some tourist attractions. I wandered down and saw the city walls. I think Derry is the San Francisco of Ireland. SO many hills. Walked up and walked around the top of the city walls for a spectacular view of the city.
I found a little Japanese place within the city walls and treated myself to some sushi rolls and some curry. Oh to have spicy foods again, hallelujah!
I found a movie theatre. I wanted to see Pacific Rim because my dear friend, Johnny, was the special effects producer on it. The movie was okay. I mean the dialogue and acting left a lot to be desired but the special effects were awesome. So the movie ended and I was just sitting there. The two ushers waiting to clean the theatre finally asked me if everything was okay. I told them that my friend was in the credits and I wanted to see his name. They asked what he did and I told them he was in the 3D effects biz. They were super excited and sat down next to me. One friend texted his other friend who was apparently working and 2 more ushers came in and sat with me as we waited. When Johnny's name appeared I said "There!" And they all jumped up and cheered. It was surreal. Nope, this isn't LA folks. A movie cred is a pretty big deal here. They took a photo of the credit and then a photo with me (on their phone, unfortunately). But it made me giggle.
I found a movie theatre. I wanted to see Pacific Rim because my dear friend, Johnny, was the special effects producer on it. The movie was okay. I mean the dialogue and acting left a lot to be desired but the special effects were awesome. So the movie ended and I was just sitting there. The two ushers waiting to clean the theatre finally asked me if everything was okay. I told them that my friend was in the credits and I wanted to see his name. They asked what he did and I told them he was in the 3D effects biz. They were super excited and sat down next to me. One friend texted his other friend who was apparently working and 2 more ushers came in and sat with me as we waited. When Johnny's name appeared I said "There!" And they all jumped up and cheered. It was surreal. Nope, this isn't LA folks. A movie cred is a pretty big deal here. They took a photo of the credit and then a photo with me (on their phone, unfortunately). But it made me giggle.
I don't know what it was but I just didn't feel good. My throat was scratchy and I was just physically tired. Maybe I'm not used to being on the move this much. I went back to the hostel around 7:00pm and passed out. Quite an Irish partier, aren't I?
The next morning I woke up and felt a little bit better. My throat was still sore. I took my temperature again and it had dropped from 101 to 99 so that was good. Sure didn't want to lie around nursing the flu for a few days. I meandered over to the Museum of Free Derry and learned about the political history of Derry and the conflicts. I signed up for a tour at 12:00noon. When my tour guide, John, arrived, I was surprised that I was the only one on the tour so I had a private one on one tour through the streets. I later learned, that not only was John a local, but his brother was one of the victims of Bloody Sunday. I was stunned. I asked a lot of questions and he sat and recounted that day. I was filled with emotion and cried a little. I guess you hear those words all your life "Bloody Sunday" but to hear the real story and from someone who was not only there but lost a brother, I was just overwhelmed.

|The Bloody Sunday monument.
|The names of the victims. My tour guide's brother was William McKinney.

I had a good night's sleep and woke up early to catch the 4 hour bus to Dublin. The bus system here is really nice. Leather seats, wi-fi, the works.

BRIDGEPORT Conn. — A project to revive the memories of a legendary Hollywood career with ties to Hornell is finding early success.
Actor Bob Crane is best known for his groundbreaking work on the hit CBS comedy Hogan's Heroes, airing for six seasons, from 1965 to 1971, but where he really polished his voice for an audience was in Hornell, at a fledgling radio station with the call letters WLEA.
A podcast, based on the renowned 2015 book Bob Crane: The Definitive Biography by Carol M. Ford, who has partnered with Eric Senich, a radio personality and second-cousin of Bob Crane, reveals never before heard details of the actor's life and career.
"We've gotten some good feedback, the audience has grown over time,"Senich said. "We're over 1,000 listens at this point and get a lot of good comments from Bob's fans over the years."
Rising in popularity quickly, "The Bob Crane Show Reloaded", has been picked up by radio stations as far away as Macomb, Ill.
Topics covered so far in the podcast include: Crane's work on Hogan's Heroes, his history in radio dating back to his days in Hornell, his youth growing up in Connecticut, previously unreleased interview audio, and reaction from family members on his untimely 1978 death by homicide.
While Crane's stint in Hornell lasted just nine months (between 1950 and 1951) before returning to his native Connecticut, biographers and family members revealed just how important his time spent in the Maple City was, in the new podcast.
"He was really able to craft his abilities in radio there because he became the programming director pretty quickly, so he was able to do things and take chances without having another person as programming director standing over him and telling him what to do," Senich said.
His pioneer work in developing soundbites to supplement bits got him noticed when he moved over to a station in Bridgeport, Conn., and Hollywood came calling.
Despite having his career cut short by tragedy, Crane's story still has resonance with life-long fans because of the reliability he gave to his characters.
"He's connected with a lot of people on a personal level, and he had a lot more to offer than people might have realized. Because his career was cut short it's hard for people to let go of what could have been," Senich said.
Crane played off of other actors so well, that rumors persisted over the years that he was asked to take over for Jack Parr on the Tonight Show, but opted to pursue other television roles.
"That's really why Colonel Hogan was so great, he was the greatest straight man you could see on television. He had so much more going than the typical, corny television thing going, and that's why it was such an interesting show.
Dedication to his craft and constant practice propelled Crane to the pinnacle of his career by the second and third season of the hit show.
"He had an insatiable thirst for knowledge," Senich said."By then he was in a complete rhythm at the show, and because of his fame he could experiment with other things."
In addition to Hogan's Heroes, fans might remember Crane from the staring role of the 1976 Disney movie "Super Dad", in which Crane's character tries to break up the wayward romances of his teenage daughter, only to learn not to be so judgmental (the hard way).
Stints on The Donna Reed Show, The Love Boat, Quincy MD and other guest starring roles are also highlights of his career.
Crane's talents went well beyond the soundstage, rising to near professional levels in drumming, exemplified on television appearances on late night shows like The Smothers Brothers Show, and even his early work at WLEA where he was known to play along to songs, according to Ford's book.
Despite several attempts by police throughout the years, no new details have come forth in the actor's murder.
"People should tune in because it's a lot more than they've been exposed to in the past ... This is a story about someone who was as good a person as he was talented," Senich concluded.
To date, the duo of Ford and Senich have produced seven episodes of the podcast, that can be accessed by visiting Ford's website dedicated to nominating crane for the National Radio Hall of Fame www.vote4bobcrane.org.
It is also available on Spreaker, iTunes, Tune in Radio, Stitcher and other apps. Bob Crane: The Definitive Biography is also available through the website www.vote4bobcrane.org.
The next episode of the podcast will cover the many bit roles Crane played over the years, guest-starring on several iconic shows.

WELSH Liberal Democrats yesterday set out a target for 100% renewable energy in Wales by 2050.
The party's Assembly leader, Mike German, called for a "green switch" to a Wales without nuclear power.
Instead, the emphasis should be on wind and tidal power supplying almost a third of energy needs by 2020.
Launching the Lib Dem pre-manifesto for the May elections, Mr German accused Labour of failing on the green agenda.
"It saddens me that the target of 10% of our electricity supply coming from renewable energy by 2010 is now impossibly out of reach," he said.
"I say we should aim for renewable energy supplying 100% of Wales' electricity by 2050. Yes, that's right by 2050."
The environment, schools and the NHS emerged as the party's key election themes among more than 70 key policy pledges in 10 major areas.
"Lib Dems across Britain are committed to using the tax system to make the Green Switch," Mr German said.
Meanwhile Mr German insisted again that the campaign would not be undermined by stories about Welsh Lib Dem leader Lembit Opik's romances.
Mr Opik, who split up with fiancee Sian Lloyd and began dating Cheeky Girl Gabriela Irimia last year, yesterday dodged questions about his private life.
Speaking on BBC Radio Wales's Phone, he said he had the full support of his party.

My Plans Or God's Plans Series
Contributed by Michael Deutsch on Aug 11, 2001 (message contributor)
Summary: We make our plans, but we forget to seek God's plans for our lives.
First Baptist Church
August 12, 2001
My Plans or God's
I would like to ask you a few questions. Please raise your hand if you answer yes. How many of you have purchased homes in your lifetimes? How many of you have worked? How many of you have taken a vacation or will take a vacation this year? Who has ever bought a car? How many have gone are will be going to college? How many of you are married or plan to get married? Who has children or would like to have children? How many plan to have a great retirement? For the youth — have you bought a scooter, bike, play station games, or anything like that? I don't think I have left anyone out!!
Thanks for participating in my little survey. Now, I have one more question for you, it is one I want you to think about, because it is what this scripture is about. I also don't want you to raise your hands. When you bought your last car, your house, began a new job, or decided on a vacation — did you pray about it? When you believed you met the right person and wanted to get married, did you pray about it? Have you prayed about your retirement -- what you'll do or how you'll finance it? Have you tried to discern and understand God's will?
The scarey thing is that most of us don't consider God in the midst of our everyday plans, unless of course, it is prayer for healing. The majority of us, me included don't seek God's guidance and will in our purchases -- let alone in the major events in our lives. I'm not talking about what color socks should I wear, I'm talking about marriage, having children, career changes, new cars, houses, vacations and so on. How do you make those decisions and plans?
Debbie and I have been in the market for a new television and VCR. The VCR doesn't work and the television is 21 years old and doesn't have very good color. Until I began to look at this scripture I didn't really think about praying whether or not we should buy a television and VCR. Normally, if the money's there, we just do it. But now I have to stop and reconsider what God wants us to do. Are these new luxury items in His plans for us, or are they simply our plans.
I was appalled this past week when I was in Wal-Mart, Sam's and Shopko. Each store said that you could bring in your government rebate check and sign it over to the store. Shopko even offered an additional 10% off, if you used that check. But what would God want you to do? Have you ever asked that question?
Of course, making plans is normal and acceptable. We must make plans in life if we would like to succeed. It is said that if you don't know where you're going, you'll never get there. We must make plans for retirement, saving money for homes and cars and college tuition. We seek the proper college to attend and we plan on finding a career that is fulfilling. Plans are a vital, vital part of life. But the question James is asking us is God involved in those plans?
Making plans is biblical. Paul often made plans regarding his travels. See Acts 15:36; 18:20-21; 1 Co 16:5-9. In 1 Corinthians 16:7, Paul states, he hopes to spend some time with the people of Corinth, "if the Lord permits." And in Acts 18:21, he adds, 'he will return to Ephesus if God wills.' Do you see what Paul was doing? He wanted his plans to be contingent upon the Lord's plans.
Even in many of his letters Paul would remind the people to be filled with the knowledge of God's will (Colossians 1:9) or 'not to be foolish, but to understand God's will' (Ephesians 5:17). When we make decisions we must seek God's will and learn to understand the plan He has for us. Even Jesus reminded us in Luke 14:28 that we must make plans when we build a home or go to war. So God has nothing against making plans.
Let's look at what James is telling us in these five verses. People were making plans about how they were going to accumulate more money. They had plans to go to this town and that town, make a few million and move on and make a few million more in the next town. Their plans were set. Understand, James is not against making money, he is against making definite plans and not allowing God to have any say in those plans. The people were making plans as if God didn't exist. Instead, they should be prayerfully making their plans. They need to be alert to the possibility that God will change those plans, moving them in a new direction . One they had not anticipated, but one that will ultimately prove more fruitful.

Nearly five years in the making, the 120 unit Regency Place off of West Street in South Wilmington will be going before the board of appeals next month. The development team will be seeking the board's approval on a series of changes to the project that the developers contend are minor.
But according to a representative to one of the part owners of the development, it is likely that site work on the parcel will begin June 1, months before they would be able to seek the necessary building permits from the town.
At the table facing, representatives of Regency Place, the 120 unit mixed market and affordable housing proposal, were attempting to convince Appeals Chairman Charles Boyle and his members that the list of changes they would be bringing to the board as a formal proposal next month were, in fact, "insubstantial."
While a formal document will be presented before the board for a possible final OK next month, the Regency Place group hopes that they will be "turning dirt" at 121 West Street in South Wilmington as early as June 1.
While they are months away from seeking an official building permit, site preparatory work can take place, said William Caulder, a project manager for The Gutierrez Co., a part owner of the development.
If the formal request is approved, the developer would meet with representatives of Mass Housing, a quasi-state finance agency to secure funding. Then it would be back to the town for the necessary permits.
Yet the already four year old proposal – delayed by economics, town and residence's opposition and environmental concerns – could be set back once again over the issue of mitigation.
Coming before the board Monday night, representatives of the Regency Place development team – Gene Sullivan, an engineer for the developer Regency Place LLC, Caulder and attorney Dan Monger – came to discuss changes made to the 11-acre site since the winter.
The development – built under the state's Chapter 40B affordable housing provision that allows developers to bypass zoning restrictions – is five, three story buildings housing 24 apartments each.
The project will be one of the largest and first subsidized housing built in nearly a decade.
But most significantly, the project will allow the town to pass the 10 percent affordable housing stock benchmark.
Reaching that level will allow Wilmington to set a three year moratorium on the use of Chapter 40B to skirt the town's zoning requirements.
The major obstacle delaying construction for nearly two years has been what to do with treating sewage from the property.
While the town initially approved the developers initial plan to feed into town sewage lines, the state Department of Environmental Protection nixed that idea, telling the developer to come back with a
With the help of Gutierrez – which became a part owner due to its expertise in this type of infrastructure construction – the team presented its on-site wastewater, which the DEP approved May 20, 2007
The system consists of tanks that stores and treats the water. A "force" main that takes it then to a leeching field nears the edge of the property.
The only evidence of the system at the surface will be a 30 by 30 foot building that house monitoring equipment and parts of the pumping system.More than a million The final price tag: $1.1 million and $70,000 annual costs.
Yet it appears that some town officials hope to hold the developer's feet to the fire over mitigation. In a letter to the board, Carole Hamilton, the town's Planning and Conservation director, said she "will like the opportunity to see" any changes in the mitigation package – improvements the developer will make to help ease the affects of the new development – before its approved.
While Gutierrez's Caulder said the developer plan to "stick" to the all mitigation obligations set forth in the permits such as sewage improvements, there are others the development team would be unable to apply due to changes to the proposal or actions by the town.
Rather than reopen the process, resulting in possibly months of additional hearings, Caulder suggested building a series of sidewalks around the development and onto Main Street to meet that obligation.The other changes presented to the board included:
• The team wants to change the affordable component, increasing the number of affordable apartments from 24 to 30 – an increase in the percentage from the minimum allowed under Chapter 40B of 20 percent to 25 percent – if they can increase from 50 percent of median regional income to 80 percent those eligible to be selected in the upcoming lottery.• A slight drop in the buildings height from 43 feet to 41 feet.
• A reduction in parking space from 252 to 228, which reduces 10,000 square feet of asphalt.
• The buildings are now a bit longer and narrower but still within a 9,600 square foot footprint.• More landscaping.
• Garage bays are slightly bigger to accommodate vehicles better, resulting in a drop in the number of spaces from 23 to 21.• There will be a mail kiosk in the development.

Sara Errani player from Italy reached her first ever Grand Slam final with a 7-5, 1-6, 6-3 wins over Samantha Stosur at Roland Garros on Thursday. If Errani triumphs on Saturday, she will be the second Italian woman to win at Roland Garros. She will be the first player ranked outside the top-20 to win in Paris since 1976.
Errani says "I have no words, it's incredible," She said "It was very windy and one side was easy and the other side more difficult. It's an amazing feeling. I did not expect this and I can't believe it."
"It's an amazing feeling to be in my first final" said Sharapova. After her shoulder surgery, her ranking was out of the 100 in the world. She thinks she could do it again to become the No.1 in the world.
Sharapova the 2004 Wimbledon Champion, 2006 US Open and 2008 Australian Open Champion will become just the 10th woman to complete a career Grand Slam if she takes Saturday's final.
Errani feels that she will produce her best no matter whoever the opponent is. Sharapova considers Errani as a tough player to fight with.
Keywords: Sara Errani, Italy, triumphs, Sharapova, Roland Garros.

Break - Pilot Teaser
Here's a teaser of my latest 10minute mini-drama series. A teaser is a teaser. The footages were only from one of the scenes. There's a couple of stories from different students.
This is also my first video uploaded into a 2.35 widescreen without having any borders/letterbox. However, I'm only testing out and from the looks of it, i love it. However, the series will not be on 2.35. I was only experimenting and decided to try it out on the teaser.
