In a broad crackdown on college basketball corruption, U.S. prosecutors unveiled charges Tuesday against 10 coaches, managers, financial advisers and representatives of a sportswear company, accusing them of bribery, fraud, and corruption in recruitment in college basketball. Additionally, a key part of the case includes allegations that an executive at a global apparel company bribed students to attend universities where the company sponsored athletic programs.
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan said Tuesday the charges followed a two-year investigation into criminal influence in NCAA basketball. According to Bloomberg, among those charged are four coaches, who are accused of steering players to advisers who had paid bribes to the coaches. Federal prosecutors in Manhattan said they will announce the charges against the defendants at a noon news conference.
The defendants include coaches at top U.S. college basketball programs, one agent, one financial adviser and a former referee. The coaches are Lamont Evans, an assistant at Oklahoma State University, Emanuel Richardson, an assistant for the Arizona Wildcats, and Chuck Person, associate head coach at Auburn University.
Investigators have been looking at whether coaches at these schools have been paid by outside entities—such as financial advisers, agents, and apparel companies—in exchange for pressuring players to associate with those entities, people familiar with the investigation said. Executives at least one apparel company are expected to be among those arrested, a person familiar with the matter said.
The investigation, which is being led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's office, has shed light on the highly competitive recruiting pipeline that brings elite high-school basketball players through Division I college programs and into the professional leagues, and the role played by assistant coaches in that process, WSJ sources said.

Students from MFL MarMac's high school physics class tied for fifth place as a team at the State of Iowa Physics Competition held at the University of Northern Iowa on April 9. This was just the second time the school had qualified as a team, after winning the local Physics Olympics in Monona in March.
One of her goals this year was to give students a chance to compete in science.
A newly-developed plan will help the city of McGregor manage its urban forest and budget for future maintenance and tree plantings.
The urban forest management plan was created by arborist Richard Kittleson, based on a tree inventory conducted in the community last summer.
"The DNR Urban Forestry Department has been doing these with grants from the U.S. Forest Service, so there's no charge to cities," he shared during a presentation to the city council April 17.
The McGregor Council may consider allowing general use of ATVs and UTVs on city streets. The vehicles are currently only allowed for construction and use by city staff.
The discussion stemmed from a UTV ride that visited the community several weeks ago to fuel up, said mayor Lyle Troester at the city's April 17 council meeting.
Tim Wright was sworn in as Monona's newest city council member at the regular meeting April 15. He replaces Doug Bachman, who resigned earlier this spring.
Wright's appointment runs through the fall. At that time, if Wright would like an opportunity to complete the remaining two years of Bachman's term, his name must be on the ballot for the November city election.
The council authorized street closures and the use of ATVs on city streets for Monona's annual Hay Days event, which will be held this year on Saturday, June 8.
Last fall, the city's visioning committee, along with Monona Chamber and Economic Development, Inc. (MCED), sponsored a contest that encouraged residents of all ages to develop imagery they felt best represented Monona. Six different designs were eventually selected for the banners: a soldier, an MFL MarMac bulldog, a tractor and field scene, a tree with a trail wrapping around its trunk, a butterfly among flowers and a butterfly in the palm of a hand.
Teacher Joe Milewsky and student Cayden Ball show how a computer program is used to determine which pieces the plasma cutter will remove from the banner and how it will move while doing so.
Sophomore Thaddeus Herold worked on the Bulldog banner, which, in addition to the animal's face, includes a line of paw prints.
Samson Elledge shows off his finished product.
The class hopes to have the metal banners, which will be painted, cut out by the end of April. They should go up this spring.
It's pretty cool, acknowledged the MFL MarMac senior, to watch one of the city of Monona's new street banners form before his eyes—thanks to his hard work and determination.
Each youth group learned the music and movements to a selection from the "Fun in the Sun" program performed by the Young Americans at competitions and concerts this year.
MFL MarMac's Young Americans show choir hosted its first ever clinic April 7, giving local kids an opportunity to grow their singing and dancing skills.
Riley Whitney and Rose Grau, both sophomore members of the Young Americans, organized the clinic, which Whitney said was inspired by the events other school organizations and sports teams host.
Two new full-time officers have joined the Mar-Mac Unified Police District. James "J.T." Cunningham and Mason Kwilinski were sworn in April 10, following approval by the police commission. Cunningham is a Guttenberg native, while Kwilinski hails from Montevideo, Minn.
Mar-Mac Police Chief Robert Millin said both officers would begin working for the department within the next few weeks. Neither is certified, he noted, so the goal is to have them attend the academy this fall.
The police commission, at Millin's recommendation, also approved the hiring of two part-time certified officers: Conrad Rosendahl, of Lansing, and Mak Kriener, of Cresco.
The city of Marquette is hoping to crack down on nuisance properties in the community.
"We've sent out some letters—some for trash and some for junk vehicles," added city clerk Bonnie Basemann, but the notices have produced few results.
Water engulfed the Marquette riverfront, eventually reaching the base of the dike.
Once the Mississippi River reached 20 feet, a plastic-covered concrete barrier was placed at the foot of McGregor's Main Street, to protect the town.
The Mississippi River crested at 21.34 feet at McGregor on Friday, April 5, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). This was the sixth highest recorded crest at the location and the largest flooding event since 2001.
Thanks to preparations made over the past few weeks, officials in both Marquette and McGregor said the impact was minimal.
"We thought it was necessary to be prepared for the worst," stated Marquette mayor Steve Weipert.

Scientists Probe Connections Between Coast-to-Coast and Atlantic Ocean Winter Storms
Powerful winter storms that strike the U.S. West Coast often occur in series, like the ones that recently raked Washington, Oregon, and California. These storms have their counterparts in the North Atlantic Ocean, and scientists supported in part by the National Science Foundation (NSF) are hot on their trail.
A major field program involving atmospheric researchers from 11 countries is straddling the Atlantic Ocean from Newfoundland to Ireland to study fierce winter storms that move eastward across the ocean and pound western Europe. Participating scientists include researchers from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado. The project is called the Fronts and Atlantic Storm Track Experiment (FASTEX). Operations began on January 6 and will continue through February.
"The findings should lead to better forecasts for the west coasts of both Europe and North America, as well as a better understanding of how oceanic winter storms affect world climate," says Steve Nelson, program director in NSF's division of atmospheric sciences.
Forecasting the development of oceanic storms is still a challenge, largely because there are fewer weather observations at sea than over land. Cyclones (low-pressure centers) tend to develop along slow-moving cold fronts that extend across the Atlantic. The cyclones often develop midway between North America and Europe and reach their peak strength a day or two later near the British Isles.
FASTEX researchers are hoping to identify precursors that may trigger cyclones once the precursors overtake the cold front. These precursors could include jet streaks (regions of higher wind speed inside the jet stream) and pockets of air that descend from the stratosphere. If such precursors can be located as they reach the North Atlantic, the cyclones they later generate might be better forecast up to two or three days in advance. To follow the life cycles of precursors and cyclones, a wide array of observational tools will stretch from continent to continent and extend from midlatitudes to polar regions.
Although the geography of the Pacific Ocean differs from that of the Atlantic, some insights from FASTEX will be applicable to both. For instance, precursors beginning over Asia are likely responsible for some cyclones that reach the U.S. West Coast several days later. Techniques developed in FASTEX for identifying precursors and targeting observations could help to improve forecasts for both North America and Europe. A follow-up field experiment is being considered for the North Pacific.
FASTEX results may lead to a model for everyday weather monitoring in the future, according to Nelson. Computer models of the atmosphere (the main source of forecasting guidance) require a detailed picture of current weather in order to extend that picture into the future. Where data are limited-such as over the oceans-it may be worthwhile to focus data collection on a small area where storms are developing, rather than on a bigger area where relatively little is happening. Two major goals of FASTEX are to develop better techniques for targeting these sensitive regions, and to measure how much the targeting will improve computerized forecasts. Says Nelson, "Research on these targeting strategies is at a very early stage, but it has the potential to bring about revolutionary changes in weather forecasting."

When actor Zooey Deschanel — star of New Girl and the perennial Christmas classic Elf — was asked about a must-go travel hot spot in California during a recent interview with Travel + Leisure, her answer was short and local: Eureka.
Deschanel, according to the online piece, is teaming up with Capital One on The Purpose Project to promote meaningful travel, which falls in line with her other efforts to make the world a better place, including support for The Farm Project and The Innocence Project.
During the interview — which includes a segment on navigating the perfect road trip through the Golden State — the writer notes that Eureka "probably isn't on too many people's radars," to which Deschanel quickly replied it should be.

For the most part, our home is organized and tidy. One place this didn't apply? My jewelry.
Luckily, with a few scrap pieces of wood, some spray paint, and a few hooks, Mr. Gray was able to fix me up.
The total cost of this project was five dollars! That's it. We had the wooden rod; Mr. Gray just cut it down. We had the pink spray paint from previous projects. The hooks were three dollars, and the pink organizing tray was a dollar.
After we spray painted everything, Mr. Gray put the hooks in the jewelry spot in my closet, and I started getting things put away.
I found tons of jewelry I didn't even remember I had. How sad is that? It's all accessible now, though.

Grazing a tool to control cheatgrassGrazing a tool to control cheatgrass
The practice can prevent buildup that can fuel catastrophic wildfires.
Heather Smith Thomas
A University of Nevada, Reno study finds that grazing rangelands in the fall can drastically reduce cheatgrass that can fuel catastrophic wildfire.Barry Perryman/UNR
Strategic grazing on cheatgrass-dominated rangelands can reduce this invasive species and reduce fuel loads for wildfires. Barry Perryman, Professor of Rangeland Ecology and Management, University of Nevada (Reno) has been researching the problem of cheatgrass (downy brome) and ways to utilize it, for many years.
"I've observed what's happened in the West since the 1960's. Cheatgrass was already here, but in recent decades has greatly expanded across the landscape," he says.
Land management agency strategies to control cheatgrass weren't working. This grass is native to central Asia, but always grazed. "It's hard to find cheat grass there, unless you look under a thorny shrub where animals can't reach it. Those regions don't have fires." There isn't fuel buildup from year to year because everything is grazed.
By contrast, in the American West, fires have increased dramatically. Since the late 1970's, government land managers and environmentalists thought we should leave more grass, and reduce grazing, allowing old grass to accumulate.
Perryman started an experimental project to reduce carryover fuels by grazing cheatgrass in the fall. Grazing it in the spring is common; grazing animals will eat it when it's young and green, but it goes to seed early and protein levels drop. Cattle avoid mature cheatgrass, with its sharp seed awns. "Later in the year, after the seeds drop, it becomes palatable again, but still low in protein," he says. This can be resolved by providing a protein supplement.
Range managers can estimate the amount of dry grass on various allotments, and number of grazing days could be planned accordingly. "For fuels management, if we have 500 pounds of old dry cheatgrass per acre on Sept. 1, and reduce that to 200 pounds per acre during fall grazing, this could make the difference between being able to make a direct attack or a non-direct attack with a fire crew if a fire goes through. By September the fire season for that year may be over, but if it's a dry fall it may not be. Even if we get fall rain and don't have to worry about fire, this would be 300 pounds per acre that won't carry over into next year," says Perryman.
Cows prefer cheatgrass
Even though protein levels in dry grass are low, energy levels are high (structural carbohydrates that cattle convert to energy during rumen digestion). "Crude protein level in cheatgrass can be highly variable from year to year--as low as 3%, and as high as 8%. When given a choice, cows prefer dry cheatgrass in October rather than dry crested wheatgrass, or any native perennial that's not green and growing. Cheat grass becomes softer in the fall and not as stiff," he explains.
"In the fall when everything is dry, cows are in their second trimester of pregnancy (and calves are weaned), when their nutrient demand is lowest," he says. Protein supplement will increase feed intake when eating dry forages that are low on protein. They need protein to feed the microbes in the rumen that digest fiber and turn it into energy. With protein supplement, cattle consume more dry feed.
In Perryman's experiment, cheatgrass seed banks were reduced significantly in grazed areas. Even though the plants already dropped their seeds, grazing made a difference; cheatgrass does not establish very well on bare soil. It needs litter—old plants from last year and all the previous years they were not grazed. "Standing dead material protects the seed and it germinates in that litter. If you remove the litter (grazing in the fall), any seed that's still there may germinate but dies. It can't survive and establish a new plant on bare soil," he says.
"Our project showed that if there are any perennial grasses left, within about 3 years of fall grazing we can shift the dominance from cheatgrass to perennials and they can then keep cheat grass from proliferating." Without such a thick stand of cheat grass—which grows much thicker than bunch grasses--perennials can thrive, with more access to sunshine, water and soil nutrients; it's not all used by cheat grass.
After three years of grazing these areas, there was a big difference. "At first it was about 500 pounds of cheatgrass per acre and only about 100 pounds of perennial grass production. By the end of three years it was just the opposite on our pilot study of 1500 acres. We then did a larger study on about 6000 acres. We had 800 cattle out there for 5 weeks, grazing a line across the landscape to create a firebreak—using protein supplement as the attractant to keep them in that area," Perryman says.
Seedbank study
In a study of cheatgrass seedbanks he found that when those were grazed, seed numbers were reduced to about 2000 seeds per square meter. "When we got it down to that level, it made a difference in whether the cheat grass could dominate the perennial grasses. If you stop the fall grazing for even one year, however, the cheatgrass seed bank rebounds—back up to original numbers. It's an aggressive species and you can't let up on it," says Perryman.
Land managers are still trying to determine the best way to "restore" and manage rangelands. "In the past we've looked at plant composition in terms of what we thought it was during pre-settlement times," he says. That didn't take into account the native grazers (bison, elk), Native American impacts, or the fact we hadn't yet introduced non-native species of plants and animals brought by European settlers.
"A better approach is to determine what constitutes a healthy rangeland, but this approach also has limitations. Now we're trying to decide what we want it to be in the future, and manage toward that," he says. Outcome-based grazing strategies can help us decide what we want in the future, in terms of options, and maintaining those options.
"We need to quit looking backward, thinking we can make rangelands something that they maybe never were. We can't even make the range what it was 200 years ago. We can't make ourselves 12 years old again, and neither can we make the landscape what it was 200 years ago. Too much has changed."
We now have non-native plants and animals that have become established, and we have to live with them and try to deal with them as best we can, to minimize their adverse effects. The anti-grazing groups' idea that removing cattle will solve everything, is unrealistic. If we can use grazing animals as a tool to work toward what we'd rather have, this is a much better strategy.
Groups' opposition
There is a lot of opposition from environmental groups against these grazing projects. They don't want to acknowledge a beneficial use for cattle or this would negate their agenda for removing cattle from public land. They don't want to recognize that grazing animals can be our best land management tool.
The sage grouse controversy is a case in point. "Anti-grazing interests typically are not interested in solutions. Their groups are out of business if we have answers," says Perryman. They are only interested in winning, and keeping a battle going so they can keep bringing in revenue for their organizations.
"If they don't have an issue to fight, they can't generate income. They won't compromise or negotiate science-based solutions. If ranchers and land managers try to compromise, environmental groups just keep moving the goal line and there is never a resolution. The biggest threat to sage grouse and every other species on these lands is fire. Every year, fire burns up more bird habitat, yet the anti-grazing approach is to remove more livestock. If we do that, there is no fuels management," says Perryman.
Dry cheatgrass in regions where cheat grass has become dominant is the biggest danger because it burns so readily. Utilizing cattle to reduce fuel loads, finding ways to enable them to graze it, could be one of our most effective ways to combat wildfires.

The Romance of Crime
Monday, 26 January 2015 - Reviewed by Martin Ruddock
Starring Tom Baker, Lalla Ward, John Leeson, Michael Troughton, Miranda Raison
Written by Gareth Roberts
Adapted by John Dorney
Directed by Nicholas Briggs
Released January 2015
Big Finish have done a sterling job of recreating and complementing eras of classic Doctor Who over the years, be it new full cast adventures for classic TARDIS teams or the more stripped back Companion Chronicles and Lost Stories, often using the medium of audio to expand the scope and defeat the on-screen budget issues of the TV series. Often these tales are respectful riffs on a bygone era that go off in different directions, or shade in character development of the type that you'd see in the modern series. Perhaps it's the version of Classic Who you think you remember.
The Romance of Crime is different. Skilfully adapted by John Dorney from Gareth Roberts' classic Missing Adventures novel (Scarily, twenty years old this month, where does the time go?), and reuniting the Fourth Doctor, Romana II, and K9 for the first time since 1980, it goes one better. It's not just a strong evocation, or a clever riff on an old idea. It is Classic Doctor Who. It's as if someone taped Doctor Who on Betamax in 1979 but the picture on the ancient tape was lost to drop-out, leaving the soundtrack intact. Roberts has a particularly strong affinity for this era - this story forms part of a box set with Dorney's dramatisation of another of his classic novels, The English Way of Death.
The story itself could be a period script by Douglas Adams or David Fisher, directed by Michael Hayes. It has an artfully Dudley Simpson-esque score from Howard Carter, a strong cast of supervillains, ne'er do-wells, preening artists, and inept detectives. The dialogue both zings and sings. Basically, The Romance of Crime would be on to a winner even if presented as a more modest audiobook. However, Tom Baker, Lalla Ward, and John Leeson, with solid support from Michael Troughton and Miranda Raison make this something extra special.
This particular TARDIS crew has never reconvened before for TV or audio, for perhaps obvious reasons considering Baker and Ward were once married - but here they are, exuberant as ever, and sounding like they've stepped straight out of Season Seventeen. That spirit of '79 chemistry is still there, and Roberts' story both captures them to a tee and gives them all good material to get stuck into. Tom, in particular sounds like he's having an absolute blast. Any script that can pull off a scene where the villain captures the Doctor and tortures him whilst explaining the entire plot is doing something right.
The plot deals with shady goings on at the Rock of Judgement, an asteroid-based prison. The TARDIS arrives just as vengeful super-being Xais is resurrected and all hell breaks loose, with cockney gangsters and dim Ogrons thrown into the mix. Miranda Raison is excellent in the dual roles of Xais and Margo, the unfortunate officer on the Rock that Xais possesses. Xais is a well-drawn villain, played by Raison with strong hints of Eldrad from The Hand of Fear. She's psychotic, with the rather nasty power to crush people to death with telekinesis, but is given a tragic backstory and a good reason to hate 'normals'. Elsewhere, Michael Troughton as cowardly artist Menlove Stokes comes very close to stealing the show in his scenes with Romana. The strong cast is rounded out by Marcus Garvey as hopeless, yet totally self-absorbed gumshoe Frank Spiggot, Graham Seed as the scheming Pyerpoint - and writer John Dorney, doubling up here as an Ogron and one of the Kray-esque Nisbett brothers.
Crime of the century. Go get it.

No curriculum in natural or alternative healthcare, herbal medicine, homeopathy or holistic healing is complete without an introduction to the surprisingly broad subject of Therapeutic Bathing.
When you think of a therapeutic bath, it's likely that you envision some steaming hot water and your favorite scented bath oil or bubblesand that's about it. Next time to you hop in the tub, benefit from the experience of centuries of therapeutic bathers. That's right--therapeutic bathing has its place in just about every ancient culture: the Romans, the Greeks, the Chinese, the Egyptians and the Middle East have all made contributions to the practice of bathing for improved health and well-being.
And now, by taking a cue from these innovators, you'll be surprised at just how many ways there are to increase your enjoyment and reap greater benefits from your bath. In this course, you'll learn about the benefits of minerals and heat and how to bring the advantages of mineral waters and hot springs home to enjoy in the privacy of your home. You'll get an introduction not just to the joys of aromatherapy, but several recipes for aromatherapy soaps and a bath fizz to enjoy in your next soak.
Do you know that there's an ideal temperature range for soaking achy muscles--and that it's different than the ideal temperature for absorbing the healing power of herbs? That's just a glimpse of what awaits you when you enroll in this in-depth course. Go ahead and dip your toe into the healthful, relaxing world of therapeutic bathing!
Therapeutic baths are baths intended to provide some type of health benefit beyond the hygienic. Whether a hot water soak in a bathtub with medicinal herbs or a Jacuzzi soak to soothe aching muscles, therapeutic baths have changed little over the centuries during which they've been used. At some points in history, they've been closely aligned with the practice of medicine. In modern America, it's more of a fringe practice or a recreational one…for now. As more people turn to natural remedies and other alternatives to pharmaceuticals and traditional medicine, however, practices that come from herbal traditions are gaining a foothold with growing numbers of people.
The practice of bathing as a therapeutic activity has a long history, dating back to the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Chinese and The Middle east.
The ancient Greeks celebrated the practice of bathing with hot tubs and a form of hot-air bath known as laconica. They reveled in olive oil's moisturizing and healing benefits, slathering it on their skin. Their enjoyment of therapeutic bathing was widespread…in fact, its practice was so celebrated by the Greeks that it soon caught on with the Romans as well.
Romans selected lavender as their bathing scent of choice for its relaxing properties as well as its ability to relieve depression and inspire mental clarity. Roman baths were extremely popular and treated as an important social activity. They built ornate baths at the sites of natural mineral springs to facilitate easier, more enjoyable use of the baths.
The Egyptians eschewed the use of soap as we know it today. Their preference was for a concoction of lime, oil and natural scents. They also enjoyed baths of milk and honey for smooth skin. The bath was considered a sacred ritual intended to simultaneously purify the body and the soul.
Romans, Greeks and Middle Easterners added things like citrus peel, roses, lavender and other herbs to their baths. Some people in the Middle East have continued the tradition of public baths into modern times, and they've changed little over the centuries.
Ancient Chinese bathing traditions relied on ginger for its detoxification benefits, curative properties and boost to virility. Asia's rich tradition of therapeutic bathing originated a number of practices that continue today. The Japanese utilized green tea as a soothing, relaxing ingredient in their luxurious, specially designed soaking tubs. Green tea is touted today as an increasingly popular tonic for a variety of ailments and to maintain vigorous health.
Israelis travel to the Dead Sea for its natural healing salt content to cure psoriasis and a variety of skin conditions. Natives of Iceland enjoy the local volcanic hot springs.
During the 16th Century, medicine developed a lasting interest in water's ability to cure or alleviate a wide range of illnesses. Bathing-related cures were developed for skin and joint disorders, strokes and gastrointestinal ailments. This medical stamp of approval gave rise to European nobility's "spa trips" to places such as Aachen, Germany. It remained trendy for wealthy Europeans to travel for the purposes of therapeutic bathing in the 1800s. The practice, of course, was as much a social exercise as a medical one. The town of Aachen eventually helped to popularize steam baths, bathing showers and single baths.
Many of the ancient peoples' traditions described thus far are still alive today and have evolved to inspire many generations of healing bathing rituals. Millions of people around the world revel in mineral baths and other forms of therapeutic bathing, whether they travel to enjoy exotic locations or create at-home versions they can enjoy privately and at their convenience.
Therapeutic bathing allows you to benefit from organic herbal remedies for the purposes of beauty, body detoxification, pain relief, mental clarity, spiritual pursuits, stress reduction and more. The requirements are fairly simple: a bathtub and a few affordable, accessible ingredients.
Water alone holds therapeutic benefits--particularly when it's warm. It can also be helpful due to its weight and pressure. Those who suffer from strain on joints and muscles find relief in their buoyancy in pools and baths. Warm water can relax muscles, ease stress and help us unwind from our hectic lives.
Some modern proponents of the practice use the term hydrotherapy. The practice encompasses the full spectrum of uses of water for healing, whether in natural thermal springs or man-made pools. There are benefits to be derived from steam baths, hot and cold soaks, wraps, and both full and partial immersion.
The spiritual aspect of therapeutic bathing has played an integral role in its use. Patron saints and other deities have arisen from natural thermal pools. These natural sites have been enshrined and surrounded by as many temples as health retreats through the ages. The very word "spa" comes from Emperor Nero's phrase "Sanitas Per Aquas," meaning "health through water."
In this course, you'll learn many techniques for making your own bathing rituals a soothing, therapeutic experience. Perhaps you'll begin with a standard hot soak, and then you can choose to add essential oils, soothing mineral salts or aromatherapy soap to enhance the experience and increase your therapeutic benefit. First, we'll start with the basics.
Know the basics of bathing.
Describe mineral and thermal baths.
Describe steam baths and building your own steam room.

The pressure to be more romantic than usual is starting to build. Step up your romance game with a new twist on some golden oldies. Find a romantic gift that is personable and makes a statement about your feelings for your special Ukrainian lady. For beautiful women from Ukraine, romance is the knowledge that her man is thinking about her, and a personalized gift is going to tell her exactly what your feelings are.
Personalizing gifts show the one you love you appreciate who your Ukrainian lady is as a person, a lover and a friend.
From my personal (Ukrainian woman's) point of view, I could say that e.g. Chamilia Charms are sure to have your true love know exactly how you feel about her. Her personal style can shine when you choose the charms that express who she is, what she loves and what she means to you. Most Chamilia Charms are made from luxurious materials such as 14k gold, Swarovski crystals and Italian glass.
Giving flowers to the special woman from Ukraine you love has been a tradition that outlasts any other romantic gesture on the books. What is the secret to the staying power of the gift flowers? Women love their smell, their delicate sensation, and they make us feel feminine. The combinations of flower species and their colors, shapes and smells will fit every personality. Add a new spin to the simple gift by signing her up for a bouquet a month program or finding a unique orchid.
If you are going to give her chocolate, than do it with flair and a touch of finesse. Find something she will not come across while grocery shopping. Dip strawberries in chocolate fondue and have them for desert. Look on the wrappers for words like decadent, gourmet or premium. Chocolate gifts need to taste like heaven in a wrapper, so do not let her down.
Jewelry, flowers and chocolate sound pretty obvious. Step it up with investing time. Take the time to find a gift with a personal touch. Set up a treasure hunt that has a silk and flower petal ending. Find a moment to make reservations, find a love poem and schedule flower delivery.
Is there a good website or source or books that you know of that would give western men, who do no have the gift of humor to humorize there Ukrainian girlfriend?
I ask because 'humor' tends to be a big issue with Ukrainian women and I figure that the more humor a western man has, in any situation he finds himself in, the better he will be perceived by a Ukrainian woman.


With the sale of the old Curling building on Queen and the plans to build Condos there (see link below), I asked myself, what else is for sale in Downtown Cobourg? Quite a number of buildings are on the market – many with tenants – so in that case, there may not be any visible change when they are sold. In my survey, the first thing I noticed is that the building at 101 King West, which was the Milestone Boutique, has now changed hands: Milestone moved to Port Hope and a Port Hope business took their place in Cobourg. The new business is Raw Animal Diet Inc. and they sell raw pet food which they believe is better for pets – certainly more natural.
"Raw 101" is currently open although their grand opening is not scheduled until August 25 – they were previously operating out of their Port Hope home but they chose this location to grow the business (photo at right).
Division and Albert Corner – known as 9 Albert Street and 173 and 185 Division street. This is prime land and would probably be redeveloped in some fashion. The asking price is $1,300,000.
Corner of Division and Charles. This location has a luxury house, a small separate apartment and a summer ice cream business (Harbourlight). You can have it all for $2,999,000.
1 King East – the retail space was most recently used by TVM group to sell the Harbour Breeze condos at the Legion property. (There's only one left unsold – asking price is $464,900). The second floor space at 1 King East provides for a licensed billiard establishment. The main floor is available for lease at $12/sq ft – either to one tenant or subdivided.
2 King East. The developer, McDane has not been able to get any takers for many years. They are pushing a project called "Cobourg Village Square". Originally this was promoted as a Condo project with ground floor commercial but now they are simply trying to lease commercial suites.
Corner of Third and King (73 King West) – the 6 ground floor commercial units and the 8 upper floor apartments seem to all be occupied. The Town's listing of available buildings includes this building but no prices are available. I suspect it has been sold.
9 King Street East – 3 leased retail stores, second floor with 3 vacant but newly renovated apartments (1 Br, 2 Br And 3 Br). Total Retail Area 2,950 sq. ft., Total Apartment Area 2660 sq. ft. Asking price is $798,000.
Quigley lot at 202 Second street – the most recent building on this site was the Quigley Hardware store but it is now vacant and used as a Town parking lot. A condo development for 34 Townhomes was approved for this location a few years ago and salesman Grant Gibson is hoping to find a developer who will proceed with the project. (Architect's view of development here). The asking price is now $2,800,000.
Sarby's – the large store at 52 King Street previously occupied by the Sarby's department store was recently sold to Yossi Rappaport and his partner at Kest and York Development Inc. as described in the post on the "Start Here" program. A year ago, the asking price was $1,199,000. They are now looking for one or more tenants.
Although some of the ex John Lee properties at 79 King West are for sale and others are occupied, I was not able to figure it all out – sorry. However, I did notice that the Heaven on Earth Spa location has been taken over by Royal Spa – but they have been there for a while.
A number of people believe that a prerequisite for Cobourg's Downtown to thrive, the number of people living downtown has to increase. Several of the above properties have unoccupied apartments or there are plans to build condos on them. This points to a solution to the downtown vitalization problem.
Note that the above is my assessment as of today – if you are interested in buying or leasing, please contact a Real Estate Agent. The above is simply for information about Cobourg's Downtown.
Does anyone know what happening at the Park ?
With the Town selling the nearby above ground Car Park for Development that probably put a nail in its coffin If the Park Theatre is to be used for its original purpose. That leaves only King St. Parking for the Park Theatre, the Oasis and the new grocery store in the Old MacGregors.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall all of the parking spaces in the municipal lot will be incorporated into the new development.
I think a reason for more people not moving into the downtown area is because of all the damn festivals, sidewalk sales, music events and street closures. Then if you do live downtown you have to clean the damn mess up in front of your building because the damn town or DBIA couldn't care less. How about we start putting on a music festival for 10 hours in front of the mayor's house or the DBIA's house and see if they really think it is a wonderful experience. Why are the "residents" of downtown living not considered when all this crap is going on to bring people to the downtown. Glad I moved out when I did .. to Port Hope, where it is a beautiful town, quiet and surreal and Canada's Small Town place to live !!!!
Jake, hope you enjoy Port Hope.
As a Professional in the Real Estate field may be she can give us her opinions as to why this communities Down Town is in such SAD shape , why it so hard to rent anything here and why none of the new business seem to stay very long Taxes ? Parking ? conditions of the buildings and the cost to operate ?
I was in Belleville yesterday and noticed that they too appear to be experiencing empty stores along their main street. I wonder if part of the problem is that people prefer to shop at the big box stores or malls which are in their town. Also, I think more people are choosing the convenience of online shopping. Unfortunately, times have changed and there are many main streets throughout the province that have been impacted. I think for the most part, restaurants do better. Just my opinion.
Yup you've nailed it. Unfortunately reality is……downtown shopping is a thing of the past. Shoppers like decent prices and free parking at big box stores OR the convenience of shopping online. Thats it in a nutshell. Sooner or later even though it hurts, you have to face facts and move in a different direction. So close off King from Division to George, make it a pedestrian mall, promote and encourage cafes, restaurants, bars, maybe a fruit and veggie market, arts and culture, spruce it up with planters, tables and chairs and give the throngs of visitors that come to Cobourg especially in the summer, something to walk up to King for. Everyone has to eat. There is so much potential to make the downtown a happening spot and as the saying goes….where theres a will, theres a way.
You've asked a hard question that nobody wants to deal with because that would mean looking at the truth instead of the the vision of Utopia that our civic leaders espouse.
Are you sure that you can handle the truth…whatever it might be?
Don't worry about the poster John, he doesn't even have the guts to use his own name and has the balls to name you – well done for the rebuttal!
there is a good reason why the tenement/store on the north/east corner of King/Division has been derelict for over a decade. Broken windows, wooded up windows, crappy sand-blasting, incompetent window frame painting, etc etc. The For Sale and For Lease signs are no longer up, perhaps at the failure of the individuals whose names appeared on those signs to rent or lease it.
So yes, let's start with this egregious building dominating the main intersection of Cobourg. There is a good reason this has continued for over a decade.
Denise – to be clear, units 85 and 87 lease for less than $600 per month + TMI?
May, oui! An amazing deal for the space and decor and location. I am close to sealing a deal on a lease for Unit 87 today though, so that one may be gone.
Which one is still available Denise?
What the town really needs to re-vitalize ( forget this "vitalize" stuff. We all know that we need to re-vitalize ) is industry. The closing of Kraft ( General Foods ) and general Electric and the down-sizing of General Motors has taken a lot of money out of town that has not been replaced. Maybe the marijuana industry will infuse the town with a bit more cash.
Why is it that Mr. Fung is sitting on these derelict buildings?
Hmm left a great update about clarifying what 79King West units are available for lease and for sale on this article this morning ~ before I retype it all, did you delete it for any reason or was it a techno glitch? I'll redo just did not want to bother if there was some reason the blog didn't want the update on here. Thanks!
There were no comments deleted on this post so whatever you typed didn't reach this post. The main reason comments get rejected is if they have two or more links but even so none like that were rejected.
A lot of digging at the property on the corner of King and Tremaine Street. Did the Town buy it? I read another park will be going in at the back. It has been a real eye sore for many years.
If the Town bought this property, it should put some of their abundant summer staff to work on cutting the what seems to be grass surrounding the building. For the past many years it has been kept like a tall weed garden even though residents in the area have placed many requests to the city to improve the appearance of the grounds.
Also, while I'm at it…Tremaine Street remains to be one of the worst paved streets in Cobourg…requests to "smooth it up" over the past 15 years have resulted in no action from the town. I invite all councillors to drive down Tremaine at the legal limit and experience the "joy ride" that awaits them. Trying it in a ambulance might be a better comparison.
Who doesn't want sidewalks? Do some lazy property owners speak for the whole town?
Or 5% of the families.
Do you count the members' mothers too?
or about 220 times the number of residents that you represent Stewey.
Do you know of any other civic advocacy organization that has a larger support base?


Picking up from grade 8 so got a good grasp on the basics and I'd like to work towards the diploma just as a goal to aim for.......I think the rest has done me good as I'm approaching it with a new enthusiasm......and purchasing 3 new guitars as helped .....actually new purchase includes 630 scale length.....made a huge difference.
Anyway....just saying hi for now.
Hello The_H and welcome to Delcamp forum! Enjoy yourself and see you around!


"Hugo" is unlike any other film Martin Scorsese has ever made, and yet possibly the closest to his heart: a big-budget, family epic in 3-D, and in some ways, a mirror of his own life. We feel a great artist has been given command of the tools and resources he needs to make a movie about — movies. That he also makes it a fable that will be fascinating for (some, not all) children is a measure of what feeling went into it.
Scorsese has a cameo, too. Lots of other well-known actors are in the film, too.
When the film started, it was 2D, but the "masking" was wrong; the top and bottom of the film was bleeding off-screen. I noticed the film was digital, not 35mm. It wasn't focused and I could see artifacts. The opening shot, cityscape of Paris. A guy got up and walked out — then returned; they fixed it. He'd gone to complain.
Ten minutes into the film, the woman next to me checks her cell for messages.
On the way out, the manager hands everyone a coupon for a free movie and apologizes about the film at the start etc.
Cheryl wanted to collect "points" on a club card and we headed back to the lobby; she wasn't able to get credit for buying tickets when the system was down; cash only. While there, we chatted to the ticket girl, and she told us about a co-worker who'd arrived one night to attend a movie. During the movie, someone used their cell phone — so she slips out of the theater, changes into her Cinema-plex uniform in the staff room, goes back and tells the woman to TURN OFF her phone. Then leaves to change back into her street clothes, and resumes her seat in the theater to watch the rest of the film!
Sadly, we've had moviegoing experiences like this before, but happily, not tonight!
The movie is magical; every performance is pitch-perfect. The two young people are breathtakingly good. The secondary characters, denizens of the Montparnasse train station according to the review on IMDB, are all wonderful, quirky, charming, or all of the above. The music is lovely. The camera work is thrilling (the swooping, flying shot through the station that opens the movie deserves 3-D and seats that face the center of the screen straight on as ours did). The embedded story of the history of film, of Cinema with a capital C, is handled sensitively and movingly.
And we didn't watch it in a grubby multiplex nearest us that's full of cardboard cutouts of future bad films and raucous packs of adolescents bent on disrupting every screening they wander into.
No, we decided to give something called "iPic" a try, at a shopping center a little farther out that's located in an area that was empty farmland and meadows a few years ago.
We hadn't been out that way in a few years – somehow they plopped an upscale "outmall" or two out there not far from the Sears home office area. Now I really hope Sears doesn't up sticks and move, because all these other businesses and restaurants have located out there.
The iPic near us was… amazing.
We walked in and decided to talk to a staffer at the front desk rather than our usual move of opting for the touch-screen kiosk. Good thing, too; we got a few dollars off for taking a free membership, and we'll have to remember to either book tickets online with our membership, or buy them at the counter. It was more like making an airline reservation, because after she explained the difference in the seating (there was either premium leather seats, or super-deluxe premium with recliners, pillows, and blankets with concierge meals).
We opted for "regular" premium; they were only showing the 3-D version of "Hugo" so we selected the seats the counter staffer suggested – at pretty much the optimum distance for viewing the screen straight on and centered. David never really likes 3-D, but I found this one movie to be crisply and cleanly rendered, with no fuzzy edges or stray "rainbows." The depth of field was interesting, and more than one shot was clearly planned with 3-D in mind.
There's one extreme close-up of Sasha Baron Cohen that looks like his head is about to land in your lap… but it's a very emotional yet subtly played shot. It had to be, because the medium picks up every eyelash twitch.
Still, some of the effects were both very beautiful and effective with the enhanced depth.
As we watched the movie unfold, I was aware of several things: my seat was VERY comfortable. It was quiet in the theater – there weren't that many people, but I sensed that people were really wrapped up in the movie. Afterwards, we walked out through the bar (BAR!) past the big fireplace (FIREPLACE) and through the restaurant (RESTAURANT). I stopped off in the ladies' room, which had slate floors, upscale washbasins, and thought how it would not look amiss in a trendy restaurant. Then we walked out, seeing where Santa had been earlier with a photographer (SANTA WITH A PHOTOGRAPHER) by the second fireplace in the lounge/conversation area (INSERT ALL CAPS SUPERLATIVE HERE).
Yes, it was expensive. We were definitely paying premium, but with this membership thing we saved enough to bring it more in line with what we normally pay.
It's definitely worth it to never have to deal with the packs of noisy adolescents that infest the closer, cheaper theaters. I don't think they're going to be willing to pay the upcharge, and the theater staff will have a vested interest in seeing they don't disturb other patrons.
There are plenty of nice restaurants in the "outmall" near the theater, too. We'll be back. For one thing, it was nice seeing a movie, that so clearly is a love letter to cinema, in a modern movie theater that is so beautifully designed.

Actually, I don't think we got a discount, but it was worth the extra $'s anyways.


Our New Brand and Website - Hoosick Valley Contractors, Inc.
Hoosick Valley Contractors is excited to announce the launch of our new logo and website as part of the continuous evolution of our company's brand. For 37 years, we've continuously grown and excelled in the commercial construction industry. As the company's leadership transitioned from one generation to the next, it was the right time to reflect on where the company has been, what it has accomplished and where it is going in the years ahead. As part of this process it became apparent that a redesigned logo and identity was needed to solidify the company's brand. Hoosick Valley selected Greane Tree Technology in Troy, NY to champion this process.
In creating the logo design, Greane Tree used 3's as a visual framework. Hoosick Valley Contractors has been in business for 3 decades, it's a family business now in the 3rd generation of ownership; and there are 3 words in the company name.
"This was the main reason I chose to use 3 colors in the palette, and the reason I decided to experiment with the triangle shape," said Raeanne Wright, Web Design Partner.
Dark blue as the solid triangular base is representative of the history of the business and its solid foundation of family and skilled tradespeople. The teal triangular side above this is representative of the company's previous brand under the second generation of leadership. While the neon green triangle adjacent to this represents the new, innovative third generation taking leadership. Together, the shape points upward, suggesting growth and upward movement to excel as the company strives to meet the needs of the 21st century.
The redesigned website contains elements based off the new logo design and color palette, resulting in a truly dynamic and refreshed look for the company.

Progressive Caucus, electeds and advocates file briefs in support of CCRB transparency
Today on the filing deadline, dozens of organizations and elected officials submitted amicus briefs to support the ordering of New York City Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) to release the summary misconduct records of NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo, who killed Eric Garner. In filing the briefs, reform leaders opposed the city's continued efforts to block a FOIL request by appealing a state court decision, which rejected the administration's assertion of state law 50-a as the determining rationale for prohibited its release.
The NYPD's recent decision to stop making disciplinary actions against its officers available to the public, as it had previously done for decades, has come under scrutiny for concealing disciplinary actions against officers engaged in misconduct. The City's appeal contradicts a court decisions rejecting state law 50-a's application. State law 50-a allows disclosure of such information when mandated by court order as in the case of releasing CCRB summaries of Officer Pantaleo. Full Release
Elected Officials Amicus Brief
WHAT PROGRESSIVE CAUCUS MEMBERS SAY:
"This action from the NYPD serves to show once again that we cannot trust the police to police themselves. Their interpretation of this law is much too strict and denies the public its right to information that it needs to effectively monitor potentially dangerous police behavior," said Council Member Antonio Reynoso, Co-chair of the Progressive Caucus. "The NYPD needs to immediately restore its previous policy and provide information about CCRB complaints to reporters and to the public."
"In order to truly repair police-community relations, it is going to be absolutely necessary that New Yorkers see evidence of officers being held accountable for acts of police brutality. While portions of an NYPD officer's personal records should remain private, their disciplinary record must be made public to ensure that we can build up that trust again, or else we will never find that harmony that we so desperately need in our city," said Council Member Donovan Richards, Co-chair of the Progressive Caucus.
"The Freedom of Information Law exists to promote transparency and openness within all agencies of government, and that must include the Police Department," said Council Member Ben Kallos, Vice-chair of the Progressive Caucus.
"Without transparency about past disciplinary records when the CCRB finds an officer has committed misconduct, how can there be any real accountability?" said Council Member Brad Lander. "Several studies have found that a small number of officers account for a high percentage of complaints and discipline. But if the NYPD can dismiss or downgrade the CCRB's charges secretly, and the public never knows about patterns of repeat offenders, how can communities be asked to trust the system? That's why we are deeply distressed by the NYPD's recent decision to suddenly reverse course on a decades-old practice of transparency, and why we're joining the call today to release records pertaining to complaints against Officer Daniel Pantaleo."
"The NYPD should not be allowed to arbitrarily change their sharing guidelines, especially for unspecified reasons. I call on the legislature to expeditiously amend state law, to not allow the Department to shield from the public dispositions of officers that may have engaged in misconduct. The NYPD, like other agencies that serve the public, owe New Yorkers the highest level of transparency, especially given the lack of trust between many communities and the NYPD," said Council Member Jumaane D. Williams.
"The courts have ruled. Now it's time to see these records so we can bring transparency and accountability to this crucial investigation. Our goal must be to move forward in an educated, fully-informed manner so that we can stop tragedies like the death of Eric Garner from repeating themselves," said Council Member Corey Johnson. "For that to happen, we need a full account of the circumstances leading up to his death. These documents will go a long way in creating a more informed public discourse, and I urge them to be released in accordance with court orders immediately."
"We need transparency now more than ever. The public's trust in law enforcement is at an all-time low, and moves that prevent vital information from being released to the public further erode that trust. It may not be easy for institutions to open themselves up to potential public scrutiny – but it is necessary. Without truth there can be no justice," said Council Member Stephen Levin.

Australia defends its pull out decision of Afghanistan series
in CRICKET, SPORTS
Australia on Friday defended their hotly contested decision to pull out of a cricket series against Afghanistan following a Taliban crackdown on women's "basic human rights".
"Basic human rights is not politics," Cricket Australia chief executive Nick Hockley said in a statement sent to AFP after Afghanistan's cricket board lashed the cancellation as "pathetic".
The Australian men's team had been due to face their Afghan counterparts for three one-day internationals in the United Arab Emirates in March, following a tour of India.
"It is clearly a very challenging and sad situation. We did not take this decision lightly," Hockley said.
Cricket Australia had been hopeful of playing Afghanistan and was in regular contact with the Afghanistan Cricket Board, he added.
"However announcements by the Taliban in late November and late December signalling the deterioration of basic human rights for women in Afghanistan led to our decision to withdraw from these games," he said.
Hockley said the Australian cricket authority consulted with the Australian government and others before scrapping the games.
He also responded to Afghanistan's best-known international cricketer and leg-spinner Rashid Khan, who had criticised the cancellation and warned he would be "strongly considering" his future in Australia's Big Bash League.
"We acknowledge and applaud Rashid Khan's and other Afghanistan cricketers' comments at the time condemning the Taliban's decision to ban women from universities. Rashid will always be welcome in the BBL," Hockley said.
Rashid Khan had tweeted that he would consider his BBL future after Australians withdrew from the series.

Hillary Clinton has managed to avoid any questions about the Confederate flag, even as her Republican rivals have faced a media onslaught since the murder of nine black congregants by a racist white gunman in a Charleston church last week. Vintage Clinton merchandise featuring the Confederate flag has begun to surface on the Internet, however.
Breitbart News has contacted the seller, who vouches for the button's authenticity.
In addition, campaign merchandise featuring Bill Clinton and the Confederate flag has surfaced widely across the Internet.
There is no indication that the Clintons ever discouraged Confederate flag-themed merchandise being produced in support of their respective candidacies.
Update: In 2007, Hillary Clinton commented on the Confederate flag in South Carolina, saying that she "personally would like to see it removed from the Statehouse grounds." She has not been asked about the flag in the present context.
