text: Set in the rolling landscape of north-central Dakota County, Rosemount was originally established as a township in 1858, the same day Minnesota became a state. A few years later, settlers founded the original village of Rosemount, and later the village and township merged. In 1974, the community became the city of Rosemount. A large number of early settlers immigrated from Ireland, and the Rosemount area phonebook is filled with Irish names. Named for a village in Ireland, the city features a shamrock on the municipal flag, and the high school teams are nicknamed the "Irish." Rosemount, it turns out, is a land of green in other ways. On a map, you'll see one area of green after another, large and small, representing community and neighborhood parks in the western third of the city, where most residents live. ROSEMOUNT COMMUNITY PROFILE Location – North central Dakota County Population - 23,042* Households - 8,095* Jobs - 8,528* Top 5 Employers – Rosemount School Dist. 196, Flint Hills Resources, Wayne Transports, Dakota Cty. Tech. College, Intermediate School Dist. 917 Notable feature – Extensive park system, University of Minnesota's UMore Park Regional Parks – Spring Lake Regional Park and nearby Lebanon Hills and White Tail Woods Regional Parks Major highways - North/south: Hwys. 3, 52 & 55 East/west: Co. Rds. 42 & 46 Transit - Express service to Minneapolis and Saint Paul downtowns provided by Minnesota Valley Transit Authority *Metropolitan Council 2015 estimates City focuses on recreation, green space The city boasts 30 parks, totaling 540 acres, featuring soccer fields, tennis courts, nature areas, and playing fields for Little League baseball, softball, lacrosse, and youth athletic activities. Walking trails and natural areas are part of the mix. An open-air amphitheater seats 2,500, and five parks host community garden plots, awarded by lottery. "Demographically, our household size is bigger than average, with relatively more families with children. As a result, parks and athletic fields have a very high priority," said Kim Lindquist, city community development director. "In turn, our parks and open space help make our community attractive to families with children." The active lifestyle reflected in the city's park and recreation investments is evident in other decisions of the city—for example, in Rosemount's 2009 comprehensive plan, which includes a section on active living. "Since that time, the city has incorporated these themes in our routine process of making decisions," said Lindquist. "Our city is mostly residential, so we're always assessing projects and proposals for connections to parks and services without having to use a car." Ped/bike master plan creates connections for residents One such effort is translating the city's Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan into reality on local streets. For example, the city has redesigned one of its parkways to calm traffic and accommodate bike lanes. The city "slimmed down" the road by reducing the number of traffic lanes, adding a center median. It posted reflective pedestrian crossing signs to make it safer for pedestrians to cross where there are no stop signs or traffic lights. Even as a city of parks, Rosemount is framed by parks and natural areas. These include three Dakota County Regional Parks—Lebanon Hills Regional Park just across the city line in Eagan, Whitetail Woods to the south in Empire Township, and Spring Lake Regional Park, atop the bluff overlooking the Mississippi River. "Our good working relationship with Dakota County helps us coordinate our plans with theirs," said Lindquist, "such as improving connections for residents to enjoy these great resources." The Spring Lake Wildlife Management Area, under the jurisdiction of the State Department of Natural Resources, lies on the edge of the Mississippi River. Just upriver is the Pine Bend Bluffs Scientific and Natural Area. Rosemount has room to grow Developing from rural and agricultural roots, Rosemount has seen significant growth over the decades. Its population of 4,000 in 1970 grew by 26% during the decade, and then 70% in both the 1980s and 1990s. Between 2000 and 2010, its population grew by half again as much. The Metropolitan Council forecasts the city to have 38,000 residents by 2040. The city has room to grow. Rosemount has wide expanses of open land, with 65% of acreage inside city boundaries either undeveloped or agricultural. A large share is owned by the University of Minnesota's UMore Park, occupying about 4,800 acres in the middle third of the city and parts of Empire Township to the south. The land was originally taken by the federal government in 1942 for production of gun powder during World War II. The U of M has declared its intention to open up parts of UMore Park to private development. An expected light-industrial and business park would occupy the far northeast corner of UMore Park, with potential residential development near Dakota County Technical College. "If you imagine dividing the city into thirds, west to east, the western part is almost fully developed," said Lindquist. "We expect growth to move into the middle third in the next few years, and the eastern third, on the other side of Hwy. 52, has growth potential in the decades to come." City has started local comprehensive plan update Looking to the future, the city has taken steps to update its comprehensive plan to the year 2040. It held a community-wide kick-off event, and has identified neighborhoods that may be affected by the plan update—the historic downtown, the north-central rural area, and the southeast portion of the city. For the three neighborhoods, the city has held small group meetings that will continue throughout the planning process. The city is also using its website to provide information about the plan update and exploring nontraditional public engagement activities. A local comprehensive plan lays out a community's vision for the next 30 years, what it plans to do, and how and when it plans to do it – things like road improvements, local sewer extensions, new parks. Communities are required under state law to update their comprehensive plans every 10 years. The Metropolitan Council reviews those plans for consistency with regional plans for transportation, water resources, and regional parks. The next round of local plan updates are due to the Council by Dec. 31, 2018. More information More about Rosemount on the Council's Community Profiles website. Posted In: Communities, Planning

The European Central Bank (ECB) could be prompted to raise interest rates sooner than planned against a backdrop of inflation and divergent monetary policy, according to Allianz's Chief Economic Advisor, Mohamed El-Erian.
"It wouldn't surprise me if they (the ECB) start hiking in the middle of summer (2019), as opposed to the end of the summer, or even the beginning of the summer. But they're going to retain optionality 'til the very last moment," El-Erian told CNBC's Nancy Hungerford Tuesday.
El-Erian, a prominent economist and one-time CEO and co-CIO of bond giant PIMCO, said the interest rate policies of central banks were diverging quickly. The Federal Reserve has already embarked on rate hikes amid robust U.S. economic growth while the euro zone's central bank, the ECB, is approaching rate hikes with caution. It has yet to increase rates with the 19-country euro zone still showing signs of regional weakness, and vulnerable to mounting global trade tensions.
"The interest rate dynamics are completely consistent with divergence in economic policy and divergence in performance," El-Erian said, adding, "The question is, does it (raising rates in one country) break something somewhere else?"
"The ECB, in particular, is going to be put in a tough position because they're dealing with high inflation. And they're going to have to think very seriously as to whether to accelerate their rate hikes."
The ECB has signaled that it will not raise record low interest rates before September 2019, a month before current President Mario Draghi is due to leave his post. In the meantime, headline inflation in the euro zone is expected to be 2.1 percent in September, up from 2 percent in the previous month, and above the bank's target of below (but close to) 2 percent.
Although rising oil prices have been largely seen as the culprit for inflationary pressures (and energy costs can quickly change) if the inflation rate rises further it could put pressure on the ECB to act sooner rather than later. Inflation can be counteracted with higher interest rates. But the ECB itself signaled in September that it would not be looking to increase interest rates quickly — a policy it put in place after the sovereign debt crisis of 2011 that looked to stimulate lending and growth.
Asked about what approach the ECB might take to normalize its policy and raise interest rates, El-Erian said the central bank would have to be very cautious and might not fully signal its next move.
"I think they'll want to have as much optionality and we're not going to hear anything for a while," he said.

A few weeks ago, we asked our readers to send us images that captures the meaning of "resilience". We were moved by the response, with over 50 entries that evoked aspects of resilience that we hadn't even anticipated! The following five photos were selected for the moments of resilience captured in the lives of people
A Burmese refugee child in Sangkhlaburi (Thai-Burma border town) doing one-arm handstand. This photo was taken during the performing arts for empowerment project, which was aimed to allow refugee children at Baan Urak Children Home to freely express themselves and to realize their potential. He kept on trying even after many failed attempts to achieve what he wants, and this photo captures his progress, the drive to perfection he pursued. January 2013. (Photographer: Koshu Kunii, Master's Student at SAIS)
Several blocks away from the demolished public library lies the transitional project 'The Commons'. Created by the now well-known transitional architecture organisation 'Gap Filler'. The Commons provides an innovative use of vacant post-demolition space – providing public space that contains sports activities, meeting spaces, community organisation offices and a food truck outdoor vending space. Transitional projects such as The Commons have become an important part of the citizen led recovery that is re-building the city for it's residents and their needs. September 2014.

About Dr. Thalia
Dr. Thalia listens to clients' stories to piece together various symptoms in order to understand the core condition.
Dr. Thalia and Naturopathic Medicine
Dr. Thalia Farshchian is an accomplished healthcare practitioner who specializes in the field of integrative medicine. Dr. Farshchian completed her doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine at the National College of Natural Medicine and her B.A. in Psychology from the University of California, Santa Barbara. She has advanced certifications in Nutritional Intravenous Therapy and Herscu Model of Homeopathy.
She began her practice with a focus in digestive, hormonal and autoimmune conditions. In the process of working with patients affected by these conditions, she began to see an infectious correlation with all of the above conditions. Over the past three years, she has been studying and implementing diagnostics and treatment in chronic viruses, Lyme disease and co-infections, mold illness and CIRS also known as Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome. This experience has been able to provide her patients with a broader perspective of what may be impacting their health concerns and how to support their healing process in overcoming these obstacles.
Her education informed and eventually defined her approach to healthcare. She strives to motivate her clients to become active participants in their own health and wellness. Dr. Farshchian works closely with her patients to piece together the constellation of symptoms to ultimately understand the core issue.
In order to create a successful plan, she believes a treatment should be tailored to an individual instead of forcing the individual to fit a treatment model.
She uses a wide array of treatment options including herbal medicine, diet and nutritional supplements, lifestyle modification, intravenous therapy, bio-identical hormones and conventional medications when necessary.
Naturopathic Medicine
The philosophical principles of naturopathic medicine include:
- First, do not harm.
- Identify and treat the cause.
- Treat the whole person.
- The body has an innate ability to heal.
- Doctor means teacher.
- Prevention is cure.
Our bodies rely on proper homeostasis for optimal health and imbalance of this system eventually leads to disease processes. The goal of a naturopathic doctor is to restore normal physiology by assisting their client to maintain or return to homeostasis. This is essential for prevention and true wellness. Dr. Thalia stands by the philosophy of naturopathic medicine and strives to create positive changes in wellness for those living an urban, fast paced lifestyle.

My weight was now perfectly normal, but blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar were all too high. I was sent on a round of tests. After a few months of tests and meetings with doctors, I felt as if I were unravelling.
I found those months surprisingly stressful. A few days before each appointment, I felt my body seizing up. This intensified when a blood pressure cuff was put on during an appointment, and the readings were considerably higher than usual. And when I got home, my stress was 70 to 90% on the stress app I'd recently begun using. Continue reading

Strangely, oral contraceptives may alter the aroma of females who take them. That's according to an animal study published in 2010 in the scientific journal, Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Researchers at Duke Lemur Center studied the effect of medroxyprogesterone acetate, usually known by its brand name of Depo-Provera, on 12 adult female ring-tailed lemurs, and found that that the contraceptive altered the chemical composition of secretions from the lemurs' genital areas, making their scent less attractive to male lemurs [source: Bates].
Does the same hold true for humans? People are known to send and receive olfactory cues about hormonal status, and the Duke researchers said more study would need to be done to see whether humans can detect whether someone is on birth control through scent.
Meanwhile a 2008 study showed that being on birth control pills can affect a woman's taste in men. Women were asked to smell T-shirts worn by men and pick the ones they were most attracted to. They overwhelmingly picked ones for men whose immune systems were different from theirs. From an evolutionary point of view, this is a good thing as it ensures a more diverse gene pool. However, when the women were on the birth control pill, they tended to pick men with similar immune systems. Could that mean that they might end up with the wrong man? [source: Nalls]

"Crucified" by Army of Lovers is featured on Just Dance 4, Just Dance Now, and Just Dance Unlimited.
Appearance of the Dancers
The dancers performing are in a very classy state of fashion.
The dancer is a woman that has a red and pink dress. Her hair is almost like Ms. Frankenstein's, but it is red and pink like her dress. She also wear red socks and blacks. She wears a red mask and she has black ribbons around her neck and one on her left hand.
The dancer is a man that has blond hair and he has a black and red costume with a pink shirt underneath. He also has cherry red glasses. He wears red socks and a pair of black shoes.
The dancer is a woman that has a very classic hairstyle. She wear a yellow blouse with a black and white striped corset over it. She wears yellow bloomers, black crinolines, and black high-heels.
The dancer is a man that has brown hair and he has an orange open blouse. He also has orange leggings as well and pink pants. He wears orange socks and black high-heels. He has a pink flower in his hair and he has a red masquerade mask.
The background appears to be either inside a manor or castle. The wallpapers are red and there's a marble floor. Also, candles on the wall and four paintings. It appears that the dancers actually are just characters in these paintings. Sometimes the background changes to some room that might be a ballroom. There's still candles on the walls but now there's four tall windows. The outside of the windows the scene sometimes changes colours and lights up the room, but also displays different types of weathers, like thunderstorms and rain.
Gold Moves
There are 2 Gold Moves for each of the coaches, all of which are the same:

Questions on Slavery, Incest, Polygamy & Genocide in the OT
Hi John, Are there any good books/articles online that you'd recommend to read on the following topics:
Slavery, Incest, Polygamy...
To handle questions about slavery in the Bible and slave owners being permitted to beat their slaves and retain ownership of the wife and children of a male slave that is freed at a certain point ; questions about incest (Abraham and his half sister, etc); polygamy (God telling David that He gave him his wives); God commanding the children of Israel to put to death those who stray from Judaism; women being forced to marry a man who raped them; the Israelites being commanded to wipe out entire communities, including women and children (some would say that the Jews were responsible for multiple holocausts); etc., etc. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks for your questions. They are important and ones many postmoderns like to ask these days.
Regarding slavery, Exodus 21:16 says
"He who kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or he is found in his possession, shall surely be put to death."
Deuteronomy 24:7 likewise says,
"If a man is caught kidnapping any of his countrymen of the sons of Israel, and he deals with him violently or sells him, then that thief shall die; so you shall purge the evil from among you."
In other words, slavery was not the same thing as the kind we saw in 19th century America where people went to Africa, kidnapped people and brought them home to sell them to the highest bidder. Such would be a capital crime in the OT, according to these passages. Instead, persons who were slaves were either paying off a debt, or persons who attacked Israel and captured in battle. Someone may have some problems with this but it is not the type of slavery we usually think of today. The 'slavery' mentioned in the Old Testament was really indentured servant hood and was a very different kind of institution than the New World slavery that developed in modern times. For example, Exodus 21:27 says that if you knock a slave's tooth out, the slave has to go free. That doesn't sound like the same institution you are thinking of, does it? Slavery in the Greco-Roman world was harsher than the indentured servant hood of Israel, but it was almost never for life (average 10-15 years in length) and slaves were paid and lived about the same as other working people. So be careful when you equate the African slave trade to the forms of slavery and servant hood you hear about in the Bible. We still have slavery today and it takes place in the prisons. People pay a debt they owe society there.
Also it is good to remember that the Israelites themselves were slaves of the Egyptians for 400 years and God delivered them, bringing judgment on all of Egypt for this oppression. God hates it, and so God delivering His people from the bonds of slavery is one of the key themes of Scripture, and the Exodus points us to Christ who sets us free from bondage.
Next lets take the next criticism of the idea of stoning someone to death for a transgression of the law. To be frank, God;s standard actually not changed in the New Testament. If you recall, Jesus Christ bore the full wrath of God on the cross. God ordained that Jesus be brutally murdered in our place. He lived the life we should have lived (sinlessly, law-keeping) and died the death we justly deserved. We all, just like the Israelites of the OT, justly deserve to die and, the fact we do not, is purely God's mercy in Christ. He took the punishment - so while we deserve to be stoned to death for worshiping a false god, instead, He took that very punishment on himself for this sin, for we have worshiped false gods. So God's character is no different in the two Testaments. The only difference is that revelation has been progressively unfolding in an organic fashion, and we now relate to the law in a new way through a perfect mediator, the person and work of Jesus Christ. Remember we all die which is the punishment God prescribed for humanity after the fall.
Also, regarding polygamy, you may want to differentiate between what someone does and what God's law is. God nowhere gives us a law saying that polygamy is His will. But we do find some persons, even some godly, who engage in this practice. David was said to be a man after God's own heart (1 Sam. 13:14; Acts 13:22), but he did a variety of things that were not according to God's heart, i.e. he murdered Uriah the Hittite after committing adultery with his wife Bathsheba (2 Sam. 11:27).
That he practiced polygamy does not make it God's perfect will. Jesus points out that from the beginning (Genesis) that one man and one woman would become one flesh and so adultery was always wrong (Matthew 19:1-9). Therefore even the OT itself does not hold up polygamy as the ideal. While polygamy may have been permitted in their weakness, but Genesis reveals this was not the ideal toward which the people were to set their faces toward. The ideal was the model of creation: one man and one woman in a monogamous relationship.
After explaining the above I believe it is very important to point something out out to our postmodern skeptical friends. Most of them think it is a given that Slavery IS bad. Torture IS wrong. Racism IS repugnant. Christians know this to be true because God reveals this to us, but you should see such a question as an opportunity to ask skeptics some questions about their own presuppositions.
Ask them how they know this to be true and they may say something like "there are no absolutes. My view of values is that they emerge from lessons widely drawn from human experience and around which consensus has emerged. Human rights as a language and as a normative construct came out of the horror of WWII. Such ideas emerge through consensus-building and eventually take on axiomatic existence for most people."
Tim Keller gave a great answer to this once. He said,
"First, you seem to be saying that slavery wasn't wrong until there was a consensus that it was wrong. Or that torture wasn't wrong until we came to a consensus that it was wrong. Do you really want to say that--that slavery and torture wasn't wrong in 1750, because then the consensus was that both were OK? If you fall back on saying that slavery was wrong in 1750 even though most people didn't feel that way—then you do believe in absolutes, I think."
Second, what if you saw the consensus about slavery and torture eroding? What if you saw that half the world was moving toward a new consensus that slavery and torture were OK in many circumstances? (There are a surprising number of people who do think torture is OK if it might stop a nuclear attack, etc. It could easily happen.) On what basis, then, could you argue that the emerging new consensus is wrong, since, in your view, something is only wrong if there is a consensus that it is wrong? It seems that the only way you could say "reverse the new consensus†would be if you grant that torture is wrong even if the consensus changes.
Third, this is an elitist argument, because the fact is that there are plenty of cultures and places in the world that don't agree with your 'consensus.' You are saying, then, that the part of the world that believes in human rights is the enlightened, correct part. When you say these beliefs take on axiomatic existence for 'most people' you mean 'most people I know, the ones who are thinking properly.'
Fourth, if you don't believe in absolutes, you can only offer at best a pragmatic argument against these evils. If you were living in 1750 and you came to believe slavery was wrong when few others did, you could not argue from consensus. You would have to argue that slavery is impractical for us, that it makes for a society in which we are all unhappy. You could only appeal to people's self-interest. Only if you agree that there are moral absolutes could you say that "Slavery is wrong regardless of whether you feel it benefits you and society or not. It is simply wrong to treat people that way. Period.â€
As per your question on women being raped and "forced" to marry, as I understand it, at that time, the issue was not so much forcing a woman marry a man who had raped her. Believe it or not, in those conditions, this may have benefitted the woman in question. Consider that women were completely dependent upon their husbands for financial, material support, and probably no one would want to marry a woman who had been raped. Therefore, legally enforcing the law that the rapist must marry and provide for the woman whom he raped was actually a way of making sure that her physical needs would be met. So as strange as it may seem as looked at through the lens of our modern mentality, the law was there to actually to protect such woman, not force them to do something they did not want to do. Otherwise, quite probably she would have lived as an outcast, with no way to survive with little or no assistance from others. When considering these things it is always good to remember the specific historical context - before rushing to judgment.
I know I have not fully answered all of your questions but hopefully it is a good start in pointing you in the right direction. I recommend Tim Keller's Reason for God which is really very good on these type of questions. You may wish to see some of his lectures on YouTube to the campuses of Google, Stanford and Berkeley. These are also good.
Hope this helps
Can you comment more on incest marriage? Did Cain or Abel marry with their sisters?
It is not known whether Abel lived long enough to get married.
Cain would have married a sister or other relative.
This was not problematic for, at least, two reasons:
1) Not a genetic problem as their DNA was so close to pristine.
2) Not a moral problem since the law against marriage to close relative was not yet given (and apparently, not given until such time as it did become a genetic problem).
I am afraid that in responding to the question about a woman being forced to marry a rapist you may have failed to read the text and checked the original language.
I laid it out nice and neat in a parsed essay:
I will succinctly note that Deuteronomy 22 envisages various scenarios:
v. 22 - adulterers, both consenting, were to be put to death (here; an already married woman).
v. 23-24 - adulterers, both consenting, were to be put to death (here; a betrothed woman who is, for all intents and purposes, considered a "wifeâ€). That she did not cry out means that she did not protest. No, not that she did not protest being raped; she did not protest having relations and thus, she consented.
v. 25-27 - an actual rapist is to be put to death. This is an actual rape; he is put to death, she is not guilty of anything.
v. 28-29 - fornication, the woman in not betrothed, she chooses to engage in fornication, they are found out and a shotgun wedding ensues. He has to pay the dowry.
For v. 28-29 the qualifying terms are "taphasâ€: catching, handling, taking hold, grasping, etc. and "shakabâ€: laying down.
For v. 25-27 the term is "chazaqâ€: strength, forced, etc.
You did a good job questioning the premise of the questions in general but not in this case.
Keep up the good work and the God work,
I still do not believe you answered the questions. You noted people were captured from war as slaves, therefore, these were not the indenture servants you spoke of. The quote you quoted forbids only the selling of slaves (along with the keyword "countrymen"), NOT the purchase.
If polygamy was not favorable in God's eyes why does he allow it? Homosexuality is not in God's favor and he strikes it down. How is it permissible to for God to allow something that is not pleasing to him to persist?
In addition, Abraham married his half-sister and God never frowned on it. Rather, it was common for people back then to commit incest. Yet, the Bible never strikes it.
Since, slavery is permitted for captured foreigners, and polygamy and incest was not outlawed... it leaves room for questions.
Pardon me... in clarifying the slavery comment... i see that it says to sell of possess..." However, in the same chapter it says... "And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do."
That is slavery as well, especially if it is against the daughter's will.
You asked, "How is it permissible to for God to allow something that is not pleasing to him to persist?"
He does this every day with each one of us. We are all not pleasing to Him. We have all broken His commands. You, me and everyone. As a result, we all justly deserve death for our rebellion against Him. Where does your comment about homosexuality come from. Homosexuality is no worse than the sins I have committed. No one is singling out that sin as standing out above others. None of us are righteous, NO not one. Breaking the first commandment is also deserving of death. It seems you are focusing in on a particular sin and do not understand that all sin is worthy of death and none of us are innocent.
God lets humanity continue because he is merciful in Christ and gives us time to repent and believe the gospel. Because he took on Himself in Christ the punishment (death) that we justly deserve. If he wiped us all out today He would be right in doing so, but instead He offers pardon in advance of his judgment in Christ. Amazing!!!!

Professor Emeritus of Sociology Dr. Ren Farley featured in the Detroit Free Press
Detroit's skyrocketing rents threaten longtime shops
Grace Harper Florist owner John Kewish doesn't know how much longer his flower shop can survive in Midtown.
With downtown Detroit's Henry the Hatter, the oldest hat retailer in the U.S. losing its lease last week, the news of the shop shutting down raises the question of whether longtime businesses are being forced out of the city.
Kewish saw his rent climb from $500 a month when he took over ownership of the Woodward business 20 years ago to $3,450, with a $650 increase in the past 12 months alone. Now, his landlord is asking for an additional $100 a month for rent for the next five years. He claims he can get $5,000 for the place, but Kewish says it isn't in great condition.
"The past few years (rent has) gone up dramatically," he notes. "Just goes with the territory, you know?"
Detroit is undergoing dramatic reinvestment, with a changing and often unpredictable landscape for small-business owners.
Some, like Bucharest Grill, were displaced by landlords who had other plans for their spaces. The Middle Eastern restaurant was given no choice but to leave its longtime location at the Park Bar in downtown Detroit to open doors elsewhere.
Others have been hit hard by months of construction of the QLINE and other renovation projects. But many have also seen an uptick in customers, the most in years with huge increases in people working, living and visiting the greater downtown area.
"The renewal of the Woodward Corridor will likely stimulate the redevelopment of nearby residential areas," says University of Michigan professor Dr. Ren Farley, who is an expert in population studies and urban structure. "However, if redevelopment along Woodward continues, the value of properties and rents will soar."

214days since 1st Sunday paddle (11th January)
My first day's trip was from Horning on the river Bure, upstream to above Caltishall. August bank-holiday week is one of the busiest of the year, the weather was glorious too, so the river was filled with a great assortment of vessels. Due to their proximity, The Broads are particularly popular with Midlanders. Much of the traffic comprises hire craft, ranging from small electric powered launches up to huge floating holiday chalets, piloted largely by drunken Brummies. This mode of travel also seems popular with stag and hen parties, so my modest kayak received quite a lot of light-hearted ribaldry as I was rocked by the wake of passing revellers.
Surprisingly, the river here is tidal, being some 4.5 hours later than Great Yarmouth, although the flow and rise-and-fall are pretty negligible. At intervals along the river are connections to some of the actual broads themselves. These lakes vary in size from just a few hundred metres to some sizable expanses, which take a good 20 minutes to paddle across. There was not time to explore every nook and cranny of every Broad or progress to my campsite would have been slow, but there are many tempting openings between the alders and reeds which only a shallow boat like a canoe can fit through. Some of these wander off into the 'mangrove swamps' for miles, relics of old navigation or drainage channels. Only a few yards into these channels the sounds of the river die away to be replaced with an eerie stillness, the musty smell of anaerobic decay bubbling up through the shallow mud and the buzz of an occasional mosquito.
On the lower sections of the rivers, which comprise the majority of the parts navigable by powered craft, there are no locks and the current flow is only very limited. The rivers are almost flat with man-made embankments further downstream, built as part of the overall drainage system. Above the navigable limits, their character is quite different. These parts are relatively narrow, in places shallow and with a healthy current. These are the loveliest stretches too. Idyllic English countryside, gently nodding willow trees, grazing cattle, darting king fishers.
Canoes are well catered for in The Broads. There are several specialist hire companies and portages are well organised and maintained. Unfortunately there are not many campsites within striking distance of the water but there did look to be a lot of opportunity for wild-camping, which I'll know for next time. On this occasion though I had pre-arranged campsites for my night's rest. The first of these was The Goat Inn at Skeyton. It was not exactly on the river, but careful scrutiny of an OS map and a bit of light 'Google Earthing', seemed to suggest a small tributary and then a beck which should put me just a short wheeling distance from my goal – theoretically!
The tributary showed up just fine and was plenty wide enough. The beck showed up too but quickly narrowed to about 3ft wide and 6 inches deep. Unperturbed I pushed my way steadily through the reeds and shallows. I only needed to cover about a half a mile so I was sure I could make it through. After about 200 metres the beck became a ditch along the edge of a field. Unfortunately the field was occupied by a small herd of shaggy cattle, with long horns. I looked at them and they looked at me. Then they started to stampede. I'm sure they had nothing but friendly intentions and the big bruiser in the lead, with a ring though his nose, only wanted to say 'hello' to my bright orange kayak, but I didn't think I'd chance it. Monday night's backwards paddling practice at Tipner possibly averted a very bizarre kayaking fatality!
I took this sensible path the next morning for my return. Back the way I had come, with the following current this time, for a splendid paddle through dappled sun-shine, with just the birds and the trees for company – apart from the two frogmen that is - something about dropping a Rolex into the water, I didn't quite grasp why they were swinging from a rope hanging from a tree though. It's extraordinary what you encounter when you travel slowly.
There are over 200km of navigable rivers within The Broads Authority region and possibly twice that available to shallow drafted craft. They connect to the sea at Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft, so a combined river/sea trip would be feasible. There is easily enough water to explore for several weeks and anyone determined to paddle every available inch would have a major challenge on their hands. Few people could claim to have paddled all of it. The character of the region changes from the winding narrow upper reaches to slow lazy flat rivers closer to the coast, passing countless charming spots en route. Something new awaits the paddler around every bend.
I set off downstream again. The tree-lined banks soon gave way to expanses of low waving reed-beds. This was a landscape of big skies and windmills. Timeless and serene. Occasionally the top-sail of a traditional wherry could be seen catching the breeze above the vegetation. I paddled up the river Thurne and on to the famous Potter Heigham bridge, the lowest and narrowest on The Broads, notorious for hosting nautical calamity. The river here is lined with small, pretty holiday cottages all sitting with their toes perilously close to the gradually rising river level. Flooding is a real problem. But the bustling throngs of friendly holiday makers didn't seem to be too concerned.
Further downstream I stopped to investigate the intriguing sight of an old windmill Siamese-twinned with a derelict medieval church.
It turned out to be the ruins of St Benet's Abbey, once the most important in England and the only one not to be despoiled during the Dissolution. The windmill was built on top of the remains sometime in the 18th century. It was extraordinary to reflect that here, in this bleak, remote scrubby field, miles from anywhere, once stood an Abbey which would have rivalled Westminster. All that remains today is a small amount of the gatehouse and some fragments of wall. "The lone and level grasses stretch far away."
After four days my time was up but I shall be certain to return again in the future to sample some more of the many delights that The Broads rivers and lakes have to offer. This would be a very good place too, to spend a few days camping from an open canoe. Maybe I'll hire one of the club canoes next year and give it a try.

Kevin McGinley, Library Information Worker and Social Media Admin for Leisure and Culture Dundee Libraries, has written this guest post on how @dundeelibraries created their contribution to our National Libraries Day Storify.
National Libraries Day on 9 February 2013 was a culmination of a week's worth of celebrations in school, college, university, workplace and public libraries across the UK. Our involvement began when we were asked by Anabel Marsh of Glasgow Library Tweetups if we would like to take part in a Libraries takeover on Twitter. It seemed a great concept and we quickly decided to take up the challenge. We were inspired by the fantastic faceBOOK project by photographer Keith Pattison and decided to use this as the inspiration to tweet similar photos throughout the day. We have to say we were a bit nervous about how our customers would react to having their photos broadcast all over the world, but we need not have worried as almost everyone we spoke to was keen to take part.
After a bit of planning and admin (gaining permission via photo consent forms etc) we soon set about snapping customers as they visited our libraries, asking them what they loved and why they were visiting their library. We tried to get a broad spectrum of activities photographed and hopefully we managed to give a nice flavour of what we offer in terms of Library services. Yes, books and reading are core but it doesn't do any harm to show that libraries are involved in wide range of activities from Pram Pushing Groups to Video Games Coding Workshops for young people.
We decided to schedule some of our tweets in advance via Hootsuite, just in case we were overwhelmed on the day. This worked well as we scheduled tweets every 30 mins and mixed them in with live tweets. We had retweets and replies from all over the UK and it was brilliant to see #nld13 as the top trending topic on Twitter. What was also great was the feel-good factor it created in our own libraries as lots of staff got involved in the lead up, snapping photos on their mobile phone as the chance arose. Special thanks go to Jacque, one of our Library and Information Assistants who, as Tinned Tomatoes, doubles as a very successful food writer and blogger in her spare time. Jacque took photos, and also helped tweet on the day ensuring the success of the project.
If anyone is thinking of trying this type of project in their Libraries, the best advice we can give is just go for it. It's great fun! You can view the full set of photos we used on the day on our Facebook page.

Bear sightings surge in Albuquerque
Thursday morning's sighting in the NE marks fourth in two days
Thursday morning, a bear cub was found scampering around the far NE Heights; officials believe he made his way back into the wild, but not before causing a miles-long search.
The cub was allegedly spotted first near La Cueva High School, and was nearly cornered on Black Bear Loop off Tramway.
This makes at least the fourth sighting in recent days. Game and fish officials say there was a sighting in Placitas Wednesday night, and early Wednesday morning a man shot incredible video of a huge bear running on his Rio Rancho street.
There was another incident Tuesday in Cimmaron in which a bear was shot dead after entering a woman's home.
Game and Fish experts say the sightings are not unusual for this time of the year.
Bears are moving around from mountain range to mountain range, and babies are separating from their mothers. Typically if you leave them alone, they'll eventually retreat back into the wilderness.

The inspiration behind this black and grey tattoo of Jesus, is the Pietà – an internationally heralded Renaissance sculpture by Michelangelo. Originally commissioned for the French Cardinal Jean de Bilheres, this sculpture was built as a funeral monument, and the piece itself is a body of art depicting Jesus on the lap of Virgin Mary after he was crucified.
The Pietà (1498–1499) is a world-famous work art housed in St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City.
It's an image to be contemplated, and the realism and weight of this statuary piece makes it one of the most adorned works of Michelangelo. Since its introduction, it has been the subject of many reincarnations by artists from past to present and a powerful piece which relates to death, sacrifice and human emotion. From the complexities of light vs shadow, and the finesse work used to sculpt the marble, the Pietà an art piece which holds weight both historically and artistically.

The Energy Department is committed to removing 99 percent of the nuclear waste in underground tanks at weapons sites, and anything less is "off the table," the head of the cleanup program told lawmakers Thursday.
WASHINGTON The Energy Department is committed to removing 99 percent of the nuclear waste in underground tanks at weapons sites, and anything less is "off the table," the head of the cleanup program told lawmakers Thursday.
Assistant Energy Secretary Jessie Roberson told a Senate hearing that she saw no chance that as much as 10 percent of the waste might be kept in the tanks even if the department is allowed to keep residual sludge at the bottom of the buried containers.
The assurance came as Roberson was pressed by senators about the cleanup of highly radioactive waste left over from decades of plutonium production for nuclear weapons at the Energy Department's Hanford complex in Washington state as well as at sites in Idaho and South Carolina.The department would like to reclassify the residual sludge that will be left at 177 buried tanks at Hanford and in dozens of similar waste tanks at the Savannah River site in South Carolina and the INEEL facility in Idaho as having a "low level" of radioactivity.
The proposal, which would require Congress to change the nuclear waste law, has been met with concern in Washington state and Idaho, where officials argue the sludge should be buried in a special repository to be built in Nevada for high-level radioactive defense waste. The department wants to mix the sludge with a cementlike grout and not remove it.
Roberson, who is leaving her job next month for personal reasons, sought to allay some of the states' concerns at a hearing by the Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, told Roberson he had been informed that the department was considering leaving as much as 10 percent of the waste and "dangerously high" levels of radiation in the Hanford tanks.
Unless the state agrees to something different, said Roberson "99 percent is what we're living by.... I don't see any chance that we're gong to go to (disposing only) 90 percent."
Wyden said he was encouraged but not totally satisfied by the assurance and asked it in writing. And Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Washington, also wanted a guarantee that the Energy Department would stick to the 1 percent.
"That is our commitment," said Roberson.
Some environmentalists, when asked to respond to Roberson's assurances, questioned the significance.
"One percent of what," said Tom Cochran, a nuclear waste expert at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). He argued that a small amount of waste volume left in the tanks could have a large percentage of the radioactive intensity in a tank.
Geoff Fettus, an NRDC lawyer who brought the successful lawsuit challenging DOE's attempt to reclassify tanks waste without congressional action, said "What they plan to leave behind in the tanks has been a moving target." In court papers they said they would remove "as much as economically and technically feasible," said Fettus.
On a related issue, Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-New Mexico, told Roberson that, should residual radioactive sludge be allowed to be kept in the tanks, he was concerned that the Energy Department - and not the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) would determine whether the grout-sludge mixture met NRC criteria for low-level waste.
"I would feel much more comfortable if the NRC made the decision on whether its own criteria had been met," said Bingaman..
Roberson said she was confident waste left in the tanks would have a low enough radioactive intensity to classify it as low-level once mixed with the grout. "We believe we are not leaving high-level waste in the tanks," she insisted.
The DOE announced earlier this week that Roberson was resigning as head of the cleanup program, effective July 15, after three years on the job.
Asked about the resignation Thursday, she denied her departure involved policy issues, criticism by some lawmakers of the tank cleanup plan, or the recent resignation of two other senior DOE officials involved in environmental cleanup issues.
She said "a little ruffling" at a hearing would not cause her to quit. "I leave for personal reasons, and they are unconnected to anyone else but my family."

Today I received an email from Dina Keller telling me how disgusted she is with the WA State Bar Association and their total and malicious disregard to the principles of "truth and honor." Ms. Keller ask that her story receives as much press as possible to cause citizens to rise up and demand accountability. Here is what Dina has to say,
Attention Veterans, stand up for justice!
Public, be forewarned what is allowed to happen to you!
Recent Washington State Bar Association (WSBA) decision condones Brady violations and grants WA prosecutors permission to suppress facts and witnesses capable of establishing the innocence of the accused and prosecute crimes with known false evidence
May 14, 2014: The Washington State Bar Association (WSBA), specifically, Berger, Coy, and Evans have set legal precedent in the state of Washington, deliberately reversing (or at least ignoring) the 1963 U.S. Supreme Court decision, Brady v. Maryland and related subsequent case law which long ago helped reinforce that a vital standard of our American justice system is that the police and prosecutors may not suppress evidence which exonerates a defendant, may not commit perjury and provide knowing false testimony and evidence against a defendant, and certainly cannot and should not initiate and perpetuate the fabrication of crimes that never occurred and seek to prosecute them.
This decision tears at the very fabric of our justice system and ought to call into question everything any law-abiding American has ever believed about truth, justice, and the American way; and, when you see what the WSBA has condoned a prosecutor doing to one American veteran, you will see why this decision should also cause every American veteran to seriously doubt the value of the sacrifices s/he has ever made to defend our rights and liberties and to assemble in vocal united protest of this decision.
This decision sends a message to all prosecutors state-wide that Brady rules violations and using evidence that does not exist is OK and will not result in any punishment from the WSBA, which is the only entity the WA Attorney General's Office specifies to handle reports of wrongdoing by WA prosecutors. The WSBA, in making this decision, which they declare is not appealable, has knowingly granted carte blanche in prosecuting and potentially convicting WA citizens completely without evidence.
The WSBA decision invites prosecutorial anarchy.
The WSBA decision is directly opposite the American Bar Association Canons of Professional Ethics, Canon 5: The Defense or Prosecution of Those Accused of Crimes which declares "The suppression of facts or the secreting of witnesses capable of establishing the innocence of the accused is highly reprehensible."
The WSBA decision makes item 5 in the oath of an attorney in APR 5 which all applicants seeking admission to the WA Bar Association shall take, "I will employ…only those means consistent with truth and honor. I will never seek to mislead he judge or jury by any artifice or false statement" completely null and void.
By unanimous vote of 3-0 the WSBA dismissed a request (#13-02257)
to punish or even hold accountable Stevens County Deputy Prosecutor Nicholas Andrew Force for bringing to prosecution a 'crime' he, the citing police chief Scott Sterland, and the victim Travis Hurst absolutely knew had never occurred at all, a 'crime' for which Mr. Force presented a false report under oath in court stating that his evidence was a newspaper photo of defendant and Hurst posed together while being honored at a very small local Veteran's Day assembly. Mr. Force failed to provide (in court or to the defense) the only newspaper photo taken of Hurst at that event even though it had been downloaded to Chief Sterland's police computer and was most certainly available as evidence almost immediately after Sterland had cited the 'crime.' Mr. Force completely failed to admit the defendant was not in the photo, no other photo existed, and he had zero evidence of a crime committed by defendant against Hurst. Hurst himself absolutely knew the crime against him had never occurred as he and Chief Sterland personally knew the defendant and had no possibility of mistaken identity among only 8 men in the photo. Further, although Mr. Force actively conferred with Hurst in the hallway before and after the arraignment, Hurst sat in court but provided no testimony.
The newspaper photo which, absent any testimony from Hurst, was purportedly the best evidence, was never provided to court or to defense. The only photo from that event that appeared in any newspaper and pictured Hurst was published with a complete and accurate photo caption naming the few men pictured, to include the victim Hurst. The defendant is absolutely not in the photo and he not only never posed with Hurst at that event but he also never placed himself within 50 feet of Hurst at the event, which both Hurst and defendant absolutely knew to be true.
What is also true is that the defendant, a U.S. Army Explosives Ordnance Disposal veteran who had served during Desert Storm, cleared weapons and IEDs in both Kuwait and Iraq, and had protected the President and Vice President of the United States and been entrusted with nuclear weapons information during his career had lost 30 pounds to fit into his dress blues and appear before his children and their friends in that Veterans' Day assembly at their school, personally arranged for a military band to play at the small-town school which essentially has no music program, and invited veterans from all 5 branches of the armed forces to appear in uniform and answer the children's questions about military service. (Hurst, an Air Force National Guardsman, wore only camos and attended as an audience member, he did not help coordinate the event.)
Also true: the defendant had a 48-year spotless criminal record before this happened. That record has been ruined.
Prosecuting the defendant for this fabricated 'crime' was intentionally retaliatory and malicious. It destroyed all fond memories of that most wonderfully coordinated event [court clerk remarked that Veterans' Day assembly was one of the best ever coordinated in that small town] and forever tainted all sense of honor defendant and his family will ever associate with Veterans' Day.
FACTS (All supported by verifiable evidence provided upon request to email@example.com)
FACT: June 2011 defendant followed his civic duty to honestly report to small town Police Chief Sterland evidence of money missing (suspected theft) from a small-town charitable fundraiser, theft allegations are supported by both official state audit and other verifiable documentation provided to Chief.
FACT: September 2011 Police Chief Sterland dismissed theft with no police report or evidence of any investigation the exact day that Hurst, a local probation officer who is also the Civil Service Commissioner Chairman for the city Sterland served, discovered that his wife was one person implicated in the theft.
FACT: October 2011 Police Chief Sterland recommended Mrs. Hurst file for a protection order against defendant. She wrote a lengthy petition alleging harassment not only in the report of the alleged theft but also disagreements about music in the local school, defendant's letter to editor written about our nation's flag, and complaints about defendant sitting on the arm of a sofa above her in an amiable social setting. She cried repeatedly in court.
FACT: November 2011 P.O. CVY11-465 was granted with a tiny 50-ft distance restriction between Mr. and Mrs. Hurst and defendant and his wife. Although legal counsel recommends it, defendant did not spend money on appeal because he believed his honesty and law-abiding intent would protect him and if he and his wife dutifully obeyed the order and completely avoided all interaction with the Hursts that in a year the order would simply go away, causing no problem.
FACT: January 19, 2012 defendant was surprised to be cited by mail from Police Chief Sterland with criminal violation of protection order.
FACT: January 20, 2012 It was not until defendant retained defense attorney at considerable expense that he learned the details of that criminal charge. Defense obtained January 18, 2012 police report in which Chief Sterland falsely stated "Shortly after the Veterans' Day assembly, there was a picture posted in one of the local papers showing Vict/Travis Hurst and Susp/[defendant] in the photograph both in military uniforms within just a few feet of one another. I am attempting to obtain a copy of that photograph and will provide it to the court when it is obtained." (The Veteran's Day assembly was in November 2011 just days after the P.O was granted and judge specified both veteran families of Hurst and defendant could attend as long as they stayed 50 feet apart in the large gymnasium. Defendant immediately notified organizers of the event about the order and dutifully arranged his participation to avoid any less-than-50-ft contact with Hursts. He knew he had never posed for a photo at that event with Hurst.) Defense at no time received a copy of the photo cited in the police report.
FACT: January 20, 2012 Police Chief Sterland's office computer records show he downloaded to his computer that day between 2:30 and 3pm the only newspaper photo in which victim Hurst appears at 2011 Veterans' Day assembly. Defendant is clearly not in the photo which bears a caption and shows only 8 men, with the only Army vets pictured obviously being decades older than defendant. (See: http://www.kettlefallsfocus.com/pdf/Focus_Dec11.pdf top of page 2) (Evidence of Sterland downloading photo was not discovered by defendant until February 14, 2014, long after damage of false criminal charges was done.)
FACT: February 3, 2012 Prosecutor Nicholas Force arraigned defendant on crime by citing under oath his evidence of the police report which mentions photo but he never provided any Veterans' Day assembly photo or explained why it—the best evidence–was never provided. Victim Hurst actively conferred in hallway with Prosecutor Force and sat in courtroom but never provided testimony which, if offered truthfully, would absolutely exonerate defendant. Prosecutor Force intentionally suppressed all evidence and testimony which would have immediately exonerated defendant of the crime.
FACT: August 2012 Stevens County auditor Tim Gray response to public records request states he has no record of oath of office filed for deputy prosecutor Nicholas Force, although Force was appointed in 2011 and RCW requires he take an oath and file it at the county auditor. Nicholas Force allegedly intruding into office is also completely acceptable to the WSBA.
FACT: May 14, 2014 The WSBA perplexingly finds in the aforementioned facts not even a the lesser degree of proof, "preponderance of evidence," of any wrongdoing by Prosecutor Force and dismisses the complaint with no further action.

Fantasy sports have become the last acceptable bastion in which your bad sports puns are cheered — not reviled — by your friends. Whether it's football, baseball, basketball, or hockey, there will always be an internal battle to determine who came up with the best team name.
"At this time, the priority of our organization is getting our players, coaches and staff home to be reunited with their families, many of whom have been evacuated from their homes and are currently sheltered," the statement read.
Texans owner Robert McNair and his family will make a donation to recovery efforts that is equal to the revenue that would have been generated by ticket sales for the game. Fans who purchased tickets to the game will have the option to donate the money toward relief efforts or request a refund through Ticketmaster.
What happened? The Texans flew their players and coaches directly to Dallas after the team's Week 3 preseason game against the Saints in New Orleans because of the storm. According to Garafolo, the game is being canceled so players can get back home to their families and begin to help with the recovery efforts.
According to Rodgers, it's Kaepernick's protests during the national Cheap Michael Jordan Jerseys For Sale anthem in 2016 that have kept him off a roster, not his quality of play.
The Packers haven't had any players kneel during the anthem, but the team's new tight end, Martellus Bennett, has been a vocal supporter of those who have, including his brother Michael Bennett of the Seattle Seahawks. Rodgers said he has discussed the issues with Martellus, but Cheap NBA Jerseys From China doesn't plan on joining the protest himself.

How to Make Money Online (For Newbies)
Affiliate Marketing has become one of the most popular and easiest ways to make money online, especially for newbies. As an affiliate marketer a business rewards you for introducing a customer to a business's product. If that customer buys the product you introduced him to, then that business pays you a commission. There are now thousands of affiliate programs out there practically begging you to promote their stuff.
There are many Service Affiliate programs out there as well, such as web hosting and work at home education and training programs. These are popular because they are usually membership programs. Membership programs usually have a monthly fee. These programs will pay you a commission fee for everyone you refer to their program, but what is even cooler is that they will pay you a monthly commission for every month that your referral pays their membership. This can generate a very lucrative residual income. There is really no limit to how much money you can make.
