In the 1270s Rohese de Dunstanville exercised through her lessee of Great Isleham manor view of frankpledge with the assizes of bread and ale, (fn. 1) paying the king's hundred bailiff 6s. 8d. for attending the leet. Those liberties, forfeited in 1299 after alienation without royal licence, were restored in 1300 (fn. 2) and remained attached to the manor thereafter. (fn. 3) In 1275 and 1299 Ely priory also claimed those assizes with infangthief, while in 1279 the bishop of Rochester was perhaps drawing his Isleham tenants to his court at Freckenham. (fn. 4) About 1314 Sir Robert Walkefare complained that the king's hundred bailiff had wrongfully taken over Walkefare's leet held for that Rochester manor; (fn. 5) that leet was presumably restored by the 1360s when Walkefare tenants owed suit to a court held at Michaelmas and Easter. (fn. 6) About 1332 a writ of right for Isleham was heard in Shrewsbury abbey's manorial court. (fn. 7)
From the late 15th century to the 19th King's College continued to hold courts for Shrewsbury's manor, almost entirely concerned with tenurial matters. Court rolls survive for 1480-7 and for courts held at long intervals between 1540 and 1671, also for 1848-65. (fn. 8) Court books, starting with drafts from 1611, formally cover that court's proceedings from 1694 to 1738. (fn. 9) Although all the other courts had effectively merged by the 17th century into those held for the Peytons and their successors, formally separate courts were still held into the late 19th century for Great Isleham with Great Bernards, for Beckhall, and for Newhall and Uphall manors. From 1689, however, their proceedings were all recorded in the same set of court books running from 1673 to 1931. (fn. 10)
Before 1700 courts handled a wide variety of agrarian business. (fn. 11) Especially after the 1710s, however, their sessions were almost entirely concerned with copyhold transfers. Not infrequently until c. 1710, but only occasionally thereafter, the courts registered bylaws regulating the use of the remaining commonable land. (fn. 12) They also named pairs of aletasters until 1700 (fn. 13) and of constables until 1730. (fn. 14) In 1586 the town's two constables were under the influence of Robert Peyton (d. 1590); they assisted him as the resident J.P. in pursuing a local feud under the pretence of keeping the peace. (fn. 15) The courts also appointed pinders, one in the 17th century, two to four in the 18th, (fn. 16) six by 1815, besides three constables. (fn. 17) The constables were still trying to keep order in the 1820s. (fn. 18) In 1846 hired parish constables were required to maintain good order in public houses, and to patrol the streets at night in winter. (fn. 19) The parish had a thatched cage a little west of the former pound at the south-west end of Pound Lane. That pound was still being maintained in 1904. (fn. 20) Its site was sold c. 1971, the structure being soon after removed. (fn. 21)
By the 1790s the parish was distributing 'town coal' in winter to 35-45 people. (fn. 22) In 1750 the vestry agreed to buy a building for a workhouse, shortly hiring a contractor to run it. (fn. 23) Although Isleham still had a workhouse in the early 19th century, (fn. 24) by then it had only 10-20 inmates, who cost £35 a year out of the £511 spent on the poor in 1803, when 30 others were relieved outside. By the early 1810s 110-20 villagers received outside relief at a total cost, in 1813, of £1,466. Save for a brief decline c. 1815 the cost of such relief usually ranged until the 1830s between £1,150 and £1,450. It was increasing in the early 1830s, (fn. 25) when large families received allowances from the rates. The parish had then to support 120 people in winter, including 60 unemployed men working on its roads, out of at least 134 adult labourers, who were normally apportioned among the farmers in proportion to the size of their farms. The workhouse only held 15, half old people, the rest mostly children. Rates had their level set at an open vestry by a majority of all who came, but were assessed by the overseers and 'principal inhabitants'. (fn. 26) In the late 1840s the vestry still tried to pay more to those men engaged in roadwork who had large families. (fn. 27) Isleham belonged from 1835 to the Newmarket poor-law union, (fn. 28) and passed in 1894 to the Newmarket rural district. From 1974 it belonged to East Cambridgeshire district. (fn. 29)
By 1829 the parish had a horse-drawn fire engine, regularly used into the early 20th century. Probably into the 1970s it was kept in an engine house near the vicarage gateway, enlarged in 1858 and demolished c. 1977. (fn. 30) In the late 19th century the income from the parish's 'Dunstall' land was used to repair roads and tunnels in the fen, and for street lighting and other public purposes. (fn. 31) By 1905 the parish council provided, partly on Dunstall, partly on rented land, allotments, (fn. 32) covering 18 a. in 1973 and still in demand in the 1980s. (fn. 33) It also by 1910 organized street lighting with oil lamps. (fn. 34) About 1979 it spent the proceeds of selling one of its two gravel pits, one of 10¾ a. allotted in 1854, another bought in 1856, on improving street lighting. (fn. 35)

El Maestro – Oscar Tabarez has pulled Uruguay out of footballing obscurity, and into the forefront of the world stage. Uruguay made it via play-offs to Brazil. La Celeste are capable of producing magical, inter-flowing football between their regular front two of Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani. They are able to trouble any team at the tournament with their explosive front two. Cavani is the battering ram and a stunning finisher. Suarez is the schemer, causing problems with his wonderful dribbling and phenomenal work-rate. They remain something of an unknown quality and as such it is hugely difficult to make an educated guess on what Tabarez's team can achieve. Without the defensive soliditiy of the 2010 side though, it would be some effort if they were to repeat their fourth place finish from South Africa.
With Diego Forlan age, Luis Suarez has become the key man for Uruguay. The Liverpool man is struggling for fitness presently but he is one of the hottest property in world football at the moment. Possessing pace, exquisite dribbling and a cool head in front of goal, Suarez is able to change the course of the game in an instant. If Uruguay can capitalise on Suarez's mercurial streak and willingness to chase every ball, he should make up for their distinct lack of attacking talent in midfield. He's grown into a genuine world class talent this season and if he can recover from his injury, he's one of the biggest candidates for the golden boot.
We know we're not among the favourites," said Oscar Tabarez. "But we also know that if we prepare well we can be a very difficult team to play against, and that's going to be at the centre of our thoughts." They poured water in Brazil's champagne in 1950, and spoiled things for the hosts in 2010, as well as in the last two Copa Americas. Whose party will they ruin this time?
Costa Rica.
Los Ticos were pretty impressive throughout their qualifying campaign. They finished in second place in the CONCACAF hexagonal stage and in doing so progressed to Brazil with relative ease. Although Costa Rica are seen as the group whipping team, it would be ludicrous to think they don't pose a threat. Ranked 34 in the world by FIFA, Le Sele have no intention of going down quietly. They go into the tournament with a tricky attacking duo and an excellent goalkeeper; one who could easily become their busiest player at the mundial.
Under their boss Pinto, they play variations of a system which is primarily focused around three central defenders, with the team flexible in whether they play a flat-back five or three centre-backs and a pair of wingbacks. He has fashioned a distinctive, solid and progressive young team ahead of next summer's showpiece. But for all their defensive qualities, Costa Rica must find a goal scoring touch if they are to match their sterling effort from 1990. Jorge Luis Pinto will feel he has something to prove in what is his second spell as Costa Rica boss. He was relieved of duties in his previous spell back in 2005 despite overseeing the countries successful qualification for the 2006 World Cup.
Bryan Ruiz is expected to captain his nation to a dignified World Cup campaign. Ruiz has spent half of last the season in Holland with PSV. The 28 year-old will likely be Costa Rica's best form of attack. If there is anyone who can save Costa Rica's bacon, it's Keylor Navas. Following an extraordinary season in La Liga with Levante, Navas will be keen to showcase his goalkeeping credentials in footballs greatest event. The 27 year-old kept 16 clean sheets with a saves to shot ratio of over 80 percent. Hid proven particularly effective when it comes to penalties, which England will be terrified to hear.
Sadly for Costa Rica, the group stage is the limit to their expectations in the World Cup.
Every four years, tales of 1966 come flooding back to England fans. However with a young squad and a tough group, the wait for a second World Cup title will probably go on a little longer. England left it late before confirming qualification for Brazil leaving many fans very nervous.
For the first time in many a major tournament, the hyperbole about England potentially lifting the trophy is absent. As the 'Golden Generation' is ushered out, young players are coming in, and with that has come an acceptance that England aren't really major contenders for the title. But they are by no means the no-hopers many in the English media make them out to be. There is pace, power and a little bit of genius in this team. Progression from a tough Group D will be viewed as success here, and the experience gained by players like Raheem Sterling, Ross Barkley and Jack Wilshere will be key to their developments.
Wayne Rooney is England's talisman for this campaign. For many, the Manchester United man is England's only world class talent and a big performance at a major tournament is long overdue. Indeed, it is hard to believe this World Cup will mark ten years since the then-Everton player took EURO 2004 by storm. Since then, problems with fitness, form, indiscipline and off-field dramas have plagued his major tournament build up. But he seemed mature, fit and settled at Old Trafford this season and there is no reason why he can't carry his glittering form into the World Cup. When he's on it, Rooney is a hugely inspiring figure for England, and some strong showings in Brazil will go a long way to the Three Lions achieving their ambitions.
A difficult call on whether they can make it out of the group or not. I think they will.
La Nazionale's trip to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa didn't go quite as planned for the defending world champions. Marcelo Lippi's Azurri emulated the 1998 World Cup champions France at the 2002 tournament by being eliminated in the group stages. The 2006 winners came through the qualifiers undefeated, topping a group that contained Denmark, Czech Republic and a resurgent Armenia. Winning this group ensured that the Azzurri have now qualified for every World Cup since 1962. Looking ahead to the championships, the Italians are expected the have one of the most experienced squads of any side. Figures like Gianluigi Buffon, Andrea Pirlo, Daniele De Rossi and Giorgio Chiellini still make up the core of this side, but youngsters like Marco Veratti and Mattia De Sciglio could be blooded in to give the first XI a revitalized feel. Revitalising a fallen giant is never easy, but Italy coach Cesare Prandelli done just that by picking the best and most inform players he has had at his disposal.
Who else do the Italians have to rely on if not Andrea Pirlo… Having earned 108 caps for his country, it seems like Pirlo has been around for an age and at 35-years-old, this looks set to be his last ever major tournament. He is still masterful in this position and has a massive influence on games with expert passing, unparalleled vision, unnerving composure and pin-point set-piece ability.
While Brazil and Spain are the current favourites, Italy are slightly behind them. Italy could even be considered an underdog team, much like in 2006. And when Italy are not considered favourites, it tends to work in their favour. However, the combination of heat and a forward line that could be hit or miss on the day should prevent Italy from making it to the final.

Dear readers, authors, literary journals and magazines. With this news, I am glad to inform you that last Friday, I added another book to an Italian Library. The book is the Italian edition of The Legacy of a Legend, namely L'eredità di Una Leggenda, by Lory La Selva Paduano. To read the press release and the review in Italian, see the following links. The library to which the book has been added is the municipal library of Grammichele, Sicily. I added the print copy of the book and the local librarians were very happy to receive a new book translated into Italian.
I also added books in English to help readers improve their English skills, but obviously, readers also love books in their native language. The librarians also appreciated the book cover, above all one of the guys, who said: "Wow, what a wonderful book cover, the woman depicted in this book is really beautiful!" I explained them that the cover represents the main character of the book, namely Arria, the legendary daughter of Spartacus, a former slave imprisoned by the Romans and forced to fight as a gladiator. Spartacus is the emblem of a freedom dream, which, unfortunately, ended with a riot defeated by the same Romans.
With a gripping plot, Lory La Selva Paduano tells about the history of a young and beautiful woman who decides to follow the same fate of his father: leave her family in the South of Italy, along with a small army of the former friends of Spartacus, and arrive in Rome to discover the real identity of her twin sister Claudia, who was kidnapped during the riot headed by her legendary father. Love, pride and fight have been intertwined in a compelling historical novel that the author also wanted to donate to Italian readers thanks to the Italian edition of the book.
It is just this Italian edition I added to the Italian library. The preamble has been very good. Now, the librarians are cataloguing the book so that the readers who attend the library can rent and read it. Page after page, the Italian readers will discover an historical romance where the main ingredient is passion seasoned with a strong and detailed historical background. The book was added to the bookshelf for adult readers because the work contains some very hot sex descriptions. I believe that very soon L'eredità di una leggenda will become a must read among the readers of the Italian library. I invite literary blogs and magazines to republish this press release about L'eredità di una leggenda added to an Italian library. At last, I suggest that Italian and English readers buy the book online, also. Good reading.

Physical Chemistry
A Burning Passion for Science
Professor Dr. Kohse-Höinghaus is first female president of Combustion Institute
In addition, Prof. Kohse-Höinghaus intends to concentrate on promoting young scientists in combustion research. "I'm particularly interested in finding out how young scientists in various parts of the world see the energy scenarios of the future and the role of combustion in this context. Ideas in China or Brazil are probably quite different from those in Germany", Kohse-Höinghaus explains. She also sees a need to promote women in the technological disciplines represented in the Combustion Institute. During her term as vice president, she already launched the programme "Women in Combustion", with a focus on networking, mentoring, and coaching activities.
Although its roots go back to 1928, the international Combustion Institute was first founded in the USA in 1954. The importance of combustion in the energy sector is almost impossible to overestimate. More than two-thirds of the global energy consumption in transport and power generation derives from the combustion of fossil and alternative fuels. In addition, combustion contributes to major industrial processes such as steel and glass production. Moreover, an understanding of combustion is crucial for fire safety.
With the growing demand for energy in many parts of the world, combustion can be expected to continue to make a significant contribution to the energy mix over the next 20 years. This makes it all the more important to develop and implement low-emission, high-efficiency combustion strategies today. Both basic and applied research in this field require the collaboration of many disciplines including chemistry, physics, fluid mechanics, and chemical and mechanical engineering. The design of practical combustors, as in automotive engines and gas turbines, also increasingly calls for sophisticated computer-based models of the combustion process.
"I am pleased to see that this interdisciplinary work at the interface of molecular science and technical processing fascinates many young scientists; moreover, this provides them with excellent qualifications for other interdisciplinary fields", Kohse-Höinghaus elaborates, who also sees analogies to Bielefeld University's mission statement of "transcending boundaries". Katharina Kohse-Höinghaus has been professor for physical chemistry at Bielefeld University since 1994 and a member of the University Council since 2008. She is an active member of several scientific organizations including the senates of the German Research Foundation, the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres, and the International Advisory Board of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. In 2007 and 2008, she served as the president of the German Bunsen Society for physical chemistry. (© Bielefeld University)

Recent ReadsMay 27, 2008
I've gotten some good reading in recently. Two by S.M. Stirling, In the Courts of the Crimson Kings, the sequel to The Sky People , and The Sunrise Lands.
The Sunrise Lands is part of his "Change" series, which is a spin off of his Island in the Sea of Time series. It was a fun read. It read quickly and had good action scenes. A touch of science fiction, with a short scene of inter dimensional shifts. The other two are good old fashioned space adventure. The first takes place on a Venus with dinosaurs, saber toothed cats, Neanderthals and beautiful native tribal princesses. The other takes place on a Mars that John Carter and Kickaha would be comfortable in.
William Gibson's Spook Country was good, not as good as Pattern Recognition , but a fun read.
David Weber's Off Armageddon Reef was a long read, but actually surprisingly good.
His books tend to be very long, often with long sections could be cut with no loss to the story.
This one has them too, but not as many. At one point, Weber details each Priest interacting with each kingdom's rulers. He made sure that you knew he has detailed out every branch of each organization of the church, including the colors of their robes and the symbols denoting their rank. It ends with a big wet navy, age of sail, sea battle.
Tom Kratman's latest, Caliphate is a frightening view of a possible future. It was also a very good adventure read. My favorite of his so far. Ok, I really liked Yellow Eyes too, but that has the added feature of being in John Ringo's Legacy of the Aldenata universe, which I really like.
Caliphate is probably going to get a boost in sales because of its mention on Instapundit.
Not my book review…September 12, 2007
A review of Tom Kratman's latest book, found on his site.
"Tom Kratman's A Desert Called Peace is practically the platonic ideal of epic Jacksonian war-porn. The printing process involves soaking the books in testosterone. It is so beautifully, terribly and gloriously Jacksonian, in fact, that merely reading the book carries the risk of pregnancy for unprotected women and metrosexuals." — Albert Norman, connoisseur of fine literature.
I'm about halfway through the book myself, and I'd have to say that the review does capture the essence of the book quite well.
Just to give you an idea of how on target the review is, Mr. Kratman's writing makes you appreciate the politically correct, balanced & nuanced writing of John Ringo's Ghost series.
Some people may see this as a bad thing, but I'm ok with it.
Hell, I read Eric Flint, and he's dyed in wool Leftist.

2020 Murano Platinum Used - In any case, if end of every week watersports aren't in your plans, the Nissan Murano 2020 is a deep decision for a high end, agreeable five-traveler hybrid that conveys more style compared to the standard. Eminently, we picked the 2020 Nissan Murano among Edmunds'Best Midsize SUVs in the current year.
2020 Nissan Murano Release Date , Review, Price 2020 Nissan Murano - The 2020 Nissan Murano could possibly be available for you if regular hybrid SUVs appear to be excessively exhausting. Introducing the 2020 Murano 5-passenger crossover, that has a daring facelift and up to date technology. Explore MPG, pricing and will be offering available in your area.
The 2020 Nissan Murano falls shy of a few rivals on the whole load space, and its unobtrusive towing limits allow it to become not up to great for individuals who degree of SUV which could tow trailers and toys.
2020 Murano Exterior
New spy shots are showing that Nissan is preparing refreshments for your Murano model. The already handsome crossover SUV can look far more attractive. The facelift is a lot sharper, especially the front end. Revised headlights and LED running lights are looking brilliant. The pair of running lights are arrow-shaped and it seems like they're pointing at the middle of the grille.
A very nice section of styling from Japanese carmaker. The boomerang-formed headlights incorporate while using streamlined profile to find themselves a simple piece from the emotional general outline.
Accessible high-proficiency LED headlights generate a light example that duplicates common sunshine. The potential LED Daytime Running Lights drastically curve throughout the headlights and present a low-force, yet profoundly noticeable light. A whole new trapezoidal lower fascia can also be visible about the spy shots. The back is included with minor changes only.
Camouflage on the taillights is suggesting a different list of units. The medial side profile looks cleaner and we like the floating roof design. The 2020 Nissan Murano rides on standard 18-inch alloy wheels. The not compulsory 20-inch alloys also are available. You may even choose the Premium or Moonroof packages.
2020 Murano Interior
Nissan is really a well-known carmaker which makes the single most pleasant cabins. The 2020 Nissan Murano is no exception. The interior can be quite upscale and modern. Already a modern day cabin is certain to get further modernization in terms of new features and updates of the current ones. The comfort is extremely good, seats are big and so are very supportive.
The cabin can accommodate up to 5 passengers across both the rows. An optional panoramic sunroof is really a must-have. Cargo area offers 30 cubic feet of space. Folding the spine seats opens up almost 70 cubic feet.
The Nissan Murano 2020 is enormous inside, yet it does not generally seem like it. It's abundant front and rear headroom, notwithstanding for tenants over 6 feet tall. The wide inside gives a great deal of shoulder and hiproom. You will discover a great deal of sidelong space and toe room under the front seats.
The tall hood harms forward perceivability, as do long, clearing front windshield columns. Raise quarter perceivability is only OK because of a little back window between your rearmost columns. Blind side checking along with rearview and encompass see cameras enhance security.
The Murano's lodge quality punches over its weight, between your cowhide surfaces, delicate touch focuses where elbows, arms and fingers associate, tasteful complexity twofold sewing and marvelous seats. This is an extravagance, Infiniti-like involvement. A 7-inch touchscreen offers a wonderful interface and it's very easy to use.
Standard upholstery includes cloth materials. Naturally, leather seats are available and so are optional. Telescoping tire, dual-zone climate control , push-button start are generally standard. When it comes to optional features, Murano offers remote start, Bose sound system, and power-adjustable front seats. Sometime soon, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are optional. With the end, the very center console is slightly revised.
2020 Murano Specs
Finito, no more changes or upgrades in the hood. This would mean the 2020 Nissan Murano comes sticking with the same drivetrain option. A 3.5-liter V6 generates 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque. The V6 engine has an CVT transmission that's both fast and smooth. On account of that, the ride quality is best and quiet.
Front-wheel-drive remains standard and the optional all-wheel-drive can be obtained as well. The only engine choice currently offers 21 mpg in the location and 28 mpg about the highway. Those figures will always be intact in 2020. The crossover and SUV market is presently deploying more and smaller four-cylinder engines. The downsizing from the drivetrains may make Nissan offer a smaller and optional displacement to the 2020 Nissan Murano.
Climbing to the SV includes rooftop rails, foglights, remote motor begin, control flexible front seats, a calfskin wrapped guiding wheel, and blind side observing with raise cross-activity alarm.
The SV's discretionary Premium bundle includes original 18-inch compound wheels, a encompassing sunroof, warmed front seats and mirrors, a 11-speaker Bose sound framework, and driver helps, by way of example, versatile voyage control , a 360-degree stopping camera framework, including a lazy driver cautioning framework (www.edmunds.com).
2020 Murano Release Date and Price
A high level enthusiast of your auto, it is best to will to know since it is advisable to hold up longer. The release date from the auto is foreseen on 2020. Some auto experts are guessing that it auto, Nissan Murano 2020, cost is originate from $40,000 for Europe and America auto markets.
The all-new 2020 Nissan Murano will cost $32,000. The SV trim is coming in at $35,000 and SL at $40,000. The range-topping Murano Platinum costs $44,000. Nissan's latest crossover SUV will arrive later in 2019 because 2020 model.

Food hall trader injured as parachutist crash lands at Game and Country Fair
PUBLISHED: 15:58 28 April 2019 | UPDATED: 08:25 29 April 2019
A man in his 30s was injured when a parachutist crash-landed at the East Anglian Game and Country Fair at the Euston Estate near Thetford.
The crash happened at around 2.30pm when one of the Silver Stars Army Parachute Display Team landed behind a marquee outside the main arena, knocking a fence into one of the food hall traders who was standing there.
He was assessed by paramedics on the site, and is now being transferred by ambulance to West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds.
Event organiser Andy Grand said the injuries were not believed to be serious, but the man is being taken to hospital as a precaution.
"The parachutist came down behind our members' marquee, which is not a public area, but one of the food hall traders was behind there having a cigarette," he said. "He landed on the fence and this guy was knocked over. He got up and was able to walk, but as a matter of precaution he was assessed in the ambulance we have here on site.
"The paramedics called 999 and explained the situation to the hospital and were initially told they would send an ambulance for him in four hours, so it was not an urgent priority for them."
The ambulance actually arrived within an hour of the incident.

The parachute team cancelled their jump on the first day of the event on Saturday due to safety concerns in the high winds.
Today, two of the six-man team missed the landing zone, but the other parachutist landed without incident. Mr Grand said the army would conduct an investigation and report back on what went wrong.
"The parachutists are highly-trained and have done thousands of jumps," he said. "They were well within the parameters to jump today, because they would not have gone ahead otherwise.
"They think it could have been an extreme gust that came in the wrong direction. It must have been wind-oriented as there was no equipment failure."

Digital lifestyle product player, BenQ, reports on consumer research conducted on the fall of CRT in the face of rising LCD popularity.
According to research conducted by BenQ, the demand for liquid crystal display (LCD) monitors in the Middle East will surge in 2003, leading towards the eventual replacement of the common cathode-ray tube (CRT)."We found that an overwhelming number of people prefer the look and feel of LCD monitors over the more commonly-used cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors," said Robert Dung, managing director, BenQ Middle East. "As a new generation of slim, stylish space-saving LCD monitors hit the market in 2003 and, as the average price stabilizes, we'll see that preference convert into rapidly accelerating sales. There's a strong demand for the newest and best technology, and 2003 will really deliver that." One of BenQ's most popular product categories through 2002, the company's long-term prediction is that LCDs will reach a desktop computer penetration rate of around 30% within the region by 2005, with figures rising to 100% by 2007, when outdated CRT technology will be replaced totally. Currently, the figure stands at around 10%.In addition to the appeal of the LCD's slimline form factor, BenQ's research also indicates that consumers are warming to LCD for its perceived health benefits. LCD monitors, unlike CRT monitors, emit no radiation. BenQ believes that this factor will impact buying decisions in 2003, particularly among those users whose jobs require that they spend extended periods sitting at their PCs.

Dear Friends and Family,
Well, it's that time of year again! We Fergusons have had a great year. Here are a few of our highlights.
As you can see from the enclosed family photo, Bob lost 40 pounds on a low-carb diet. He had to get a second job to afford the diet, because he now eats more red meat than a grizzly bear, but you can't knock the results. The low-carb plan doesn't allow you to eat anything inexpensive like pasta, potatoes or rice. But you can eat as many $12-per-pound steaks as you like. We've spent so much on food this year, we can't afford to buy him new clothes! His pants are so baggy, he looks like he just graduated from clown school. Still, it beats the stomach staple the doctors were talking about, and he says he feels good.
Speaking of health, Chardonnay's nose ring got infected and she missed most of this last semester at junior college. The whole experience has made her think seriously about changing her major from Tattoo Art Appreciation to Life Coaching, but nothing's firm yet.
The really exciting news is that Chardonnay finally has a boyfriend -- a lawyer. No, wait a minute. Bob says I've got that wrong. The boyfriend isn't a lawyer, the boyfriend has a lawyer. My bad. Kids these days! I could never have afforded a lawyer when I was his age. He must really be smart. He's living above our garage "until the heat dies down" at his place, he says. Bob and I used to have an apartment like that, too -- once the heat came on, you could never turn it off.
Josh is doing well in Golf Course Management; he came "thisclose" to making the Pro's List this semester, except for his low grade in lawn-mowing. Thank goodness he got an A in Watering Grass 101.
Bob's mother is still living. With us. Sometimes she's a little forgetful. I think she would probably be better off in a nursing home, but Bob won't hear of it. He says, "As long as you're healthy, why shouldn't she stay with us?" Except for the smoking, the drinking, the cleaning, the cooking, the swearing and the laundry, she's not much of a bother. And the kids love her. They're always trying to make her comfortable. But no matter how many times I tell them, they still try to turn her oxygen back on when she's smoking.
I suppose this is as good a time as any to explain that newspaper headline in June, "Bob Ferguson Arrested in Credit Card Fraud." Actually, it was good news: They finally arrested the guy who had stolen Bob's identity. They caught him trying to charge a Slim Jim and a box of Handi-Wipes down at the Gas and Go Away. Little did the thief know that Bob's credit cards have been maxed out for months, and all the clerks have orders to call the police if he ever tries to use a credit card there again.
The thief is in jail and is still pretending to be Bob, but that will probably change when he finds out about the back taxes we owe from that tax-shelter fiasco last year. Apparently, you can't just skip mowing your backyard, call it a "tree farm" and start taking an agricultural deduction. Who knew? But if the fake Bob Ferguson wants to do eight to 10 years for tax fraud, that's fine with us.
Which reminds me, be sure to watch Bob's dad on "60 Minutes" next week to hear his side of the story. The church calls it embezzlement, but Dad swears it was just a bookkeeping mistake.
Well, that's about it from the Fergusons. I've got to go pick up Fluffy from the vet. I'm not sure I want to see the bill, but really -- how much could a simple tail reattachment cost, anyway?
Wishing you and yours a Happy Holiday,
The Fergusons

Tuition is non-refundable and non-transferrable. Unless specified otherwise, these classes are for adults 18 and older. Teachers listed may be subject to change at the Arcade's discretion or as a result of unforeseen scheduling conflicts — while we try to avoid teacher substitution, it does happen from time and time and is not grounds for a refund.
The Arcade is also accepting a limited number of interns. If you'd like to take a course for free or half price while also working at the theater on the weekends, just select one of the Internship options when registering for your class. Please note that there is a limited number of full and partial internships available, and that you'll need to complete a 2-hour internship training. Arcade reserves the right to deny a student internship for any reason, and in that instance he/she will be refunded your registration.
We've revised our policy regarding course prerequisites: students need to meet all pre-reqs before signing up for an advanced level class. Every improv school approaches these techniques and philosophies differently, and so does the Arcade.

The Danish government and the right-wing populist DF party have announced plans to send rejected asylum seekers pending deportation to a remote island in the Baltic Sea. The proposal faces widespread opposition.
The anti-immigration Danish People's Party (DF) and the Danish government are planning to banish "unwanted" asylum-seekers pegged for future deportation to the isolated island of Lindholm, located some 80 kilometers (50 miles) south of the capital, Copenhagen.
Those to be moved to the 17-acre island (which is smaller than 10 football pitches) will largely be failed asylum seekers who can't presently be removed from Denmark due to a ban on deportation to certain countries of origin - as well as those with a criminal record.
Until recently, the island housed a laboratory for Denmark's state veterinary institute dealing with infectious animal diseases for almost a century. Under the plan, which was presented at the end of November 2018 by the government and the Danish People's Party, the uninhabited island would first be decontaminated by late 2019, with the new immigration facilities due to open in 2021 – unless there are legal challenges to the plan.
Initial projections say that around 100 people could be housed there, and that the scheme will cost the Danish taxpayer roughly €100 million over four years.
Not a prison island – at least on paper
In a tweet, accompanied by a cartoon featuring what presumably is supposed to represent a rejected asylum seeker with darker skin, the DF said that Denmark's new asylum island would be manned by police "around the clock," telling followers to "please share the good news."
"They are unwanted in Denmark, and they will feel that," Danish immigration minister, Inger Stojberg, who is a member of the conservative Vrestre party, said about the government plan.
DF spokesman Martin Henriksen meanwhile clarified that those housed on the island would be free to leave during the day, but stressed that the government would make frequent visits to the mainland difficult by hiking up the prices for the ferry and making the service less frequent.
"We're going to make it as cumbersome and expensive as possible," Henriksen said in a TV interview, and acknowledged that the asylum island might be in breach of international law while adding that his party didn't mind "challenging conventions."
Denmark currently has a minority government made up of three center-right parties that rely on the support of the right-wing populist DF to pass legislation through the parliament. Because of this arrangement, the DF wields more influence over parliament than its 12.3 percent share of the vote from the last general election would ordinarily warrant.
Proposal cannot be 'executed in reality'
Human rights activists have denounced the plan, calling it "degrading and inhumane." Steen D. Hartmann of the Stop Diskrimination movement demanded "that the government and the Danish People's Party stop their plans and improve the conditions for all rejected asylum seekers in Denmark," adding that the two existing deportation centers in Denmark were already "inhumane and terrible."
Conor Fortune of Amnesty International meanwhile drew parallels to Australia's offshore immigration islands, Nauru and Manus, saying that the introduction of these asylum centers "sparked an epidemic of trauma, self-harm and suicide attempts, even among children."
Birthe Ronn Hornbech, a former Danish immigration minister, called the island project "a joke" that cannot be "executed in reality," suggesting that the idea behind the island proposal is merely a ploy to pander to the DF voter base. "Nothing will come of this proposal," she wrote in her column in the Jyllands-Posten daily newspaper.
Change in direction of refugee policy
In recent years, Denmark has tightened its laws for immigrants, extending the period of time that family members must wait before they can join a refugee in Denmark from one year to three. Other changes include reducing benefits for asylum seekers, shortening temporary residence permits and stepping up efforts to deport those whose applications are rejected.
At the peak of the refugee crisis in 2016, a law allowed the country's authorities to seize valuables from migrants to help finance the costs of their stay - a move that drew outrage from human rights organizations.
Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said in a party meeting last month that the Danish government's attitude toward new refugees would have to shift in future from integrating them to hosting them until they can safely return to their countries of origin.
"It's not easy to ask families to go home, if they've actually settled (in Denmark.) But it is the morally right thing. We should not make refugees immigrants," he said.

A photographic exhibition of the Broken Hill Specialist Palliative Care Team by Robin Sellick
To be launched at the NSW State Palliative Care Conference in Broken Hill
To be exhibited in the Hospital Foyer, Broken Hill Health Service from Monday 17 October 2016 onwards
A unique photographic exhibition featuring the Broken Hill Specialist Palliative Care Team and which explores the balance between life and death will be launched tonight at the Regional Art Gallery.
The exhibition 'Melorites' is a photographic study of the Palliative Care Team and was commissioned to coincide with the NSW State Palliative Care Conference being held in Broken Hill this week (13-15 October). It features the work of locally-born and internationally-renown celebrity portrait photographer, Robin Sellick.
The state conference is being hosted by Palliative Care NSW (the state's peak body for Palliative Care) in partnership with Far West Local Health District Palliative Care Services. Over 200 delegates from both within NSW and interstate are expected to attend the conference being held at the Musicians Club.
The works by Robin Sellick will be revealed tonight at the conference welcoming reception in the Regional Art Gallery. It will then be displayed at the conference and in the Broken Hill Health Service from Monday onwards.
The artist explained that in this unique series Melorites, he has explored the balance between life and death.
He said: "The beauty of these extraordinary people, who spend their days caring for the dying of their community, is captured among the ruins, relics and remnants left behind over many years by the people of the outback mining town that they serve.
"This stark contrast reflects the ability of these remarkable professionals to weightlessly see the beauty in and the way through a landscape that most people perceive as desolate and overwhelming.
"The first great challenge of this commission was to overcome my own preconceptions and fears around the subject of dying and then go on a sweeping learning curve as I met and photographed each of these wonderful people.
Rather than anything sad or dark, what I found in all of them was a great passion for life and a desire to see everyone they come into contact with have the best possible quality of life available to them – whether it be for many years or merely their final days," said Mr Sellick.
Dr Sarah Wenham, the Far West LHDs Specialist Palliative Care Physician and Co-Chair of the Conference Organizing Committee said" "As well as seeking to showcase the unique creative talents of our local artists with delegates attending the conference, this exhibition gives us an opportunity to increase community awareness of palliative care.
"We hope that it will encourage wider conversation that will begin to break down some of the taboos that remain within our society when it comes to death and dying, and lead to a greater understanding that palliative care is about giving people hope, value and meaning in life whilst adjusting to living with a life-limiting illness," said Dr Wenham.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why groups of people watch videos on their laptops at Starbucks, with the sound at full volume for the entire café to hear. And, on a Saturday night, no less.
Fortunately, I finished reading through my novel before this heinous crime commenced. As you know, when I say novel, at this point I'm referring to the 40,000 words I've written on this particular draft. Now I'm just trying to think clearly enough to write a coherent post, which is difficult given the blaring video noise combined with "Everybody Hurts" wailing in the speaker overhead.
I told you all the other day I was encouraged by what I'd read up to that point, and it's still true. However, my suspicions were right on the nose – the last 5,000 words or so are an unrefined mess. Buried in the mess, thank goodness, is great potential.
Poor little protagonist, I sent him undefended into the dreaded middle of the story, wandering aimlessly. Here's the thing. There are crises, oh yes, and fiascos that move the plot along pretty well. The problem? They all happen in the same day. It's an overwhelming amount of crises to squeeze into one twenty-four hour chunk of time. I wrote it, and I can't even keep track of all the horrible things that plagued my little guy from breakfast to dinner.
So, yeah. That's obviously an issue. The good thing is that, spread out, they'll make quite a good way to build the story. Over time. With room to breathe, and sufficient time for emotion to grow, in both the character and the reader. After reading through, I have a clear picture of what needs to be cut, what needs to be added, and what needs to be switched to earlier/later in the story. Fixing this portion will fill in the cracks with some necessary connecting events, instead of just tacking on unnecessary filler. My characters should then be positioned to proceed to the next set of Big Events, and then to the Even Bigger Final Events. No filler, no tangents, only the stuff that matters.
I like knowing that I know what's wrong and how to fix it.

I caught his interview last night with Hannity and thought for sure we'd posted the viral vid of him rallying a crowd of conservatives in Florida a few months ago, but nope. Somehow it slipped through the cracks. Here it is, several weeks late, along with the Hannity clip. Most of you will already be familiar with the story of his military discharge so let's focus on his congressional run instead: Last year, facing a national Democratic hurricane, he lost by 10 points to Ron Klein. This year, as a blossoming tea-party icon, he's got a Republican hurricane behind him. Toss in the earned media he's going to get from people like Hannity and Beck and he's basically running the same race in the same state as Marco Rubio. How's that working out thus far?
His campaign website is here if you wish to support this American hero and help take back our country. And if you want to really irritate his opponent, click on this You Tube link to boost his video traffic above its current 1,191,650 views.

"The Progressive Industries SSP-50XL RV Surge Protector has saved our recreation vehicle on many occasions through all types of weather."
– RV Living Journey
Initially starting out in the RV lifestyle, getting a surge protector wasn't even a thought. After reading some horror stories, the need for one abruptly arose. Reading about stories where power surges have completely fried the electrical system in the RVs of people. There was no way were we going to let a potential hazard like this effect the recently purchased recreational vehicle over a fairly inexpensive item.
After 6 months into owning a Progressive Industries SSP-50XL Surge Protector, it does seem to have definitely paid off no doubt. Through some of the worst weather, when power surges occurred, the surge protector was there to safely catch it and prevent any damage from occurring. Also, on other occasions when RV parks are filled to the max, newcomers would plug in to shore power and surge the whole park. Progressive Industries SSP-50XL Surge Protector was there to catch it every time and safely alleviate it potential damages. If an issue is found, the surge protector will immediately cut power to the RV, preventing costly repairs.
There are countless stories and instances across the world where an in-place Progressive surge protector has mitigated an electrical disaster. All the more reason to protect your property, yourself, and your family by purchasing a premium, top of the line surge protector such as the Progressive Industries SSP-50XL Surge Protector.
Progressive Industries continues to raise the standard in RV protection innovation. The new Progressive Industries SSP-50XL Surge Protector offer impressive new features and several design features are "patent pending" for exclusivity of design and function. Get yours today!

Palpatine informs the Jedi High Council that the reason that Fives went crazy was because he removed his biochip. However, the Jedi because they are not stupid, don't buy this answer and instead further investigate the incident.
Welcome again to Observation Deck's What If! This is a long running series where I change one thing from a famous work and then we all study the results.
Previous entries include a dead child, corporate espionage, marriage, accidental suicide, wishes to rule the world, another dead child, a locked door and a beheading.
This week, we'll be looking at Star Wars the Clone Wars and what if Fives was believed in the Order 66 saga. When watching the episodes that make up this story, I never bought that the Jedi simply believed the official story about what happened. There is just too many holes to make it work:
- They would have never have believed the whole biochip lie. Why the hell if it was nothing unusual would they then originally deny its existence and then falsify and destroy evidence?
- The Jedi already know that it was Dooku who was the one who started the order for the clone army 13 years beforehand. The Jedi would have been smart enough to realise this incident and that are connected in some way.
- The Jedi would have been suspicious of Nala Se. Think about it, she's already tried to cover up the biochip, something if it was harmless then there would have been no reason to do so. But then, the perfectly healthy & sane Fives just "suddenly" becomes sick and insane after she was with him for a few minutes? Yeah, her ass is going to jail.
- When they did the Autopsy of Fives body, they would have spotted the remnants of the drug so there would be no way that would have bought the story.
- The symptoms Fives had didn't match what Tup had. That should have awakened some warning signs.
- Thanks to episode 3, we know that the Jedi are already suspicious of Palpatine so I don't buy they would of truly believed them.
As such let us all discuss what if the Jedi and some other characters like Captain Rex believed Fives and did more investigations like interrogating Nala Se (possibly doing a group force mind trick).

The Grand Canyon, one of the seven natural wonders of the world, boasts one of the oldest and most majestic landscapes on earth. This challenge is a unique twist on regular Grand Canyon itineraries as we explore Arizona. We will spend our days winding through canyons in multiple national parks and spend our nights gazing up at a dazzling desert sky.

This experience was amazing! Personally for me, it really was life changing and exceeded all expectations. I have made a group of friends for life, pushed myself physically and mentally but more importantly raised money for a great cause. I have come home a different person.
Jamie Leadbeatter
I've always wanted to see the Grand Canyon and I thought this would be a cool way of doing it rather than just seeing it from a viewing platform. To see it at night, day break, sunset and of course in the daytime was just fabulous. I wanted to challenge myself and motivate myself to get fit after (and while still) being treated for cancer and having a training plan to work to was brilliant.
Sally Moore
I have always wanted to visit the Grand Canyon, eat rattle snake and get my photograph taken with a Joshua Tree. I managed to achieve all of these. Thank you for the most amazing adventure I have ever undertaken!

During the 2014/15 school year, we have developed social entrepreneurship workshops in Barcelona based on the "Suéñalo Hazlo" (Dream it. Do it.) methodology that the Fundación Ashoka Emprendedores Sociales applies in more than 21 countries in the framework of the Jóvenes Changemakers program.
Thank you to the support of Fundación Barclays, and with the focus put on disadvantaged circumstances, we have counted on the participation of more than 150 teenagers (between the ages of 14 and 16) from various school centers and socio-educational programs in the province of Barcelona. The final result has been five youth initiatives that combine their passions with the answers to their day-to-day problems, such as bullying, pet abandonment, drugs, racism and social isolation.
The actions developed throughout the course have combined workshops with different centers, classroom sessions and individual work to give rise to a socio-educational process of empowerment and promoting youth empowerment.

Welcome To Hodgdon, Maine!
The Story
The town of Hodgdon Maine is loaded with special history.
We've blogged about Hodgdon Maine before. My mom was a Benn from the hill of the same name. Her family was a part of the local history I undercovered doing research for posting on the town of Hodgdon. Fevruary 11, 1821 Hodgdon was incorporated. Named after John Hodgdon of Ware, New Hampshire who acquired a partial interest in the Westfield Academy Grant in 1802. Hodgdon also received a full interest in the Groton Academy Grant in 1805. The earliest recorded settler, Aaron Perly, appeared on the scene according to the local history books back in 1824.
Our MOOERS REALTY office was involved in a couple real estate sales out on the border in Hodgdon Maine. Back in 2014, ten Amish families settled in the east section of this Aroostook County township. New settlers continue to set up living operations in Hodgdon Maine where the town is progressive in its development.
When a land owner subdivides his or her Hodgdon Maine land, until the first house lot is sold, the entire subdivision is property taxed as one piece of farm land, wood land, whatever classification.
Hodgdon Maine is a neat location. Lots of land is protected in the natural habitat called the Lt. Gordon Manuel Wildlife Management Area, including the related dam and the Hodgdon Deadwater. That is visible by the Mill Pond Dairy Bar. The Deadwater is a natural flowage, the early farmers used to process ice by cutting squares to ship south for refrigeration purposes before power was on the scene.
The dam size increased in the 1800's when John Hodgdon erected a Hodgdon Mills water power dam. Totalling nearly 6500 acres and including forest land (85 percent), fields (2 percent), and wetlands (13 percent) that lies within the Manuel Management area.
Westford Hills offers wonderful views and presents one heck of a picnic location. Farming for potatoes, grains, beef or dairy is big in Hodgdon Maine. Hodgdon Maine is home of the Hawks, MSAD 70 a school system that serves Hodgdon, Cary, Amity, Ludlow, New Limerick and a few students from Orient.
How To Get Here
US RT 1 is the easiest way to access Hodgdon Maine. Straight shot for the most part north to south and you might come in using US RT 2A also called the Bangor Road. Because it was before the I-95 took over the bulk of th transportation chores. Years ago, paddling up the Mill Stream or on a horseback wood's trail might have been your only option to getting to this township located south of Houlton Maine. But years ago, it was over the river and through the woods like the trip to Grandmother's house. And the horse knew the way to ... well you know the song lyrics. Everything was wooded, a location to start a new settlement in Hodgdon was near water for domestic use and to harness for a mill. And the long hard task of removing trees, the stumps that remain under them to create farm land to grow crops, raise animals on a Hodgdon farmstead.
Things To Do For Fun
Get an ice cream at Mill Pond Dairy Bar. Enjoy some take out fresh grilled food before your ice cold dairy treat on the picnic tables overlooking the flowage. Where years ago, ice was harvested in the winter to ship by railroad cars to the sunny south for home made refrigeration.
Local grandfather E. Shirley Benn lost one of his best farm work horses that drowned during ice harvesting one season. Learn more about the interesting history of Hodgdon Maine with a visit and stop at the town office to speak with manager Jim Griffin or his assistant Cheryl Cameron.
Take in an exciting Hodgdon Hawks sports team game in the gym or sitting on outdoor bleaches at one of the ball fields. All the recreational trails lead in and out of Hodgdon Maine. Rickie Tidd and his family operate a sport vehicles business and can sell or repair whatever your ride for four wheel ATV or snow sled right here in Hodgdon Maine.
The scenery, the wildlife, the waterfront and being on the Canadian US border makes this Northern Maine town a natural beauty.
Unlike city living with the noise, smells, crime and just too much development combined with slow or not moving traffic, Hodgdon Maine offers peace and tranquility. Hodgdon Maine also has a policy of not taxing individual house building lots in a land subdivision until the first sub lot is sold. That is a very progressive attitude that promotes creation of smaller lots for house building in the town of Hodgdon Maine. Otherwise it is not worth the expense of surveying, soil tested and the trips to get the approval on the muncipal level for creating a Northern Maine subdivision.
I'm Maine REALTOR Andrew Mooers your host and here to gratefully serve you.
Looking forward to providing the best insider local information from a native passionate about living here. Let me share what living here as a native I can offer you! Thank you for visiting our Maine real estate website and we will work hard to show you the ropes, the lay of the land. To give you the small town community online tour perspective the best way possible to educate and not waste your time.
You get involved living in small Maine towns. I do. You will too. You will fit in just perfectly. Proud member of the state and national REALTOR associations. Past president of the Aroostook REALTOR Council, Rotary Club, Chamber Of Commerce, the Southern Aroostook Growth Council and Drews Lake Property Owners Association. Past chairman of the Houlton Zoning Board.

Greek community creates an off-the-grid Internet
In an effort to buck the expensive rates of unreliable corporate telecom companies, a community in Athens, Greece has created its own private Internet.
Built from a network of wireless rooftop antennas, the Athens Wireless Metropolitan Network (AWMN) now has more than 1,000 members. Data moves "through" the AWMN mesh up to 30 times faster than it does on the telecom-provided Internet.
According to Mother Jones, this off-the-grid community has become so popular in Athens and on nearby islands that it has developed its own Craigslist-esque classifieds service as well as blogs and an internal search engine.
"It's like a whole other web," AWMN user Joseph Bonicioli told the magazine. "It's our network, but it's also a playground."
The AWMN began in 2002 in response to the poor Internet service provided by traditional telecommunications companies in Athens. However, the past few years have illustrated another use for these citizen-run meshes: preserving the democratic values of the Internet.
As the Internet has become a ubiquitous presence in day-to-day life, governments around the world have sought to control it. In 2011 for example, when former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak found out that protesters were organizing on Facebook, he commanded the country's Internet service providers to shut down access, denying 17 million Egyptians access to the Web for days.
Later that year in the U.S., the city of San Francisco temporarily shut down cellphone service in its transit system to stop a protest.
As Bonicioli told Mother Jones, "When you run your own network, nobody can shut it down."
These DIY meshes are also used to provide Internet in places major telecom companies can't—or won't—reach. For example, one was constructed last year in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Red Hook after Hurricane Sandy knocked out resident's access to the networks of major Internet service providers.
Similarly, Guifi, the largest mesh in the world, was built to address spotty Internet service in rural Spain. It has over 21,000 members.
Meshes have taken on new relevance in the wake of former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden's leaks about the agency's massive Internet surveillance programs.
