Know how compact bone is organized into osteons
Organized into structural units - haversian systems or osteons
Name all the components of an osteon and know their functions:
Each osteon consists of concentric lamellae arranged around a central canal. Resembling the growth rings of a tree, the concentric lamellae are circular plates of mineralized extracellular matrix of increasing diameter, surrounding a small netword of blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves located in the central canal. Osteons rest in lacunas and speak to one another via cap junctions through the canaliculi, little spaces filled in extracellular fluid.
Understand how the blood supply is organized to compact bone.
Blood vessels run through each osteon.
Why is it necessary for compact bone to be organized into osteons?
osteocytes need access to materials which cannot easily diffuse through the calified layers, so they need to be close to a blood vessel.
Define: Intramembranous ossification
bone forms directly within mesenchyme, which is arranged in sheetlike layers that resemble membranes.
Define: Endochondral ossification
bone forms within hyaline cartilage that develops from mesenchyme.
Know, in detail, the steps of Intramembranous ossification.
1. Development of the ossification center - Chemical messages cause the mesenchymal cells to cluster at the site where bones will delvelop, and differentiate into osteogenic cells and then into osteoblasts. -Osteoblasts secrete osteoid (unmineralixed matrix) 2. Calcification - As the osteoid becomes mineralized the osteoblasts differentiate into osteocytes, which become surrounded by matrix. they put out cytoplasmic extensions (processes) through thin channels in the matrix called cannaliculi. The matrix becomes hardened (calcified) 3. Formation of trabeculae -As the bone becomes hardened it develops into thin strips called trabeculae. Blood vessels grow into the spaces between trabeculae. Bone marrow develops in those spaces. 4. Formation of a periosteum: -periosteum develops at the periphery that is capable of developing new bone. Eventually, a layer of compact bone develops. Osteoclasts work together with osteoblasts to reform the bone into an adult shape.
Know, in detail, the steps of endochondral ossification.
1. Development of a cartilage template -hyaline cartilage is formed in the shape of a young bone. 2. Cartilage template begins to calcify -and the connective tissue around the template befins to contain osteogenic cells 3. Development of a primary center of ossification -An artery enters the center of the template through an opening called the nutrient foramen. Cartilage is broken down into spicules and osteogenic cells from the blood develop into osteoblasts that start to lay down bone. 4. Development of a medullary cavity -the bone in the center forms a medullary cavity and the bone on the outside begins to model to form compact bone. 5. Development of a secondary center of ossification -the same process occures at the ends (epiphysis) of the structure. An epiphyseal artery enters and starts to lay down bone. 6. Formation of articular cartilage and an epiphseal plate. -center of epiphysis fills with spongy bone. Cartilage is left at the surface to become articular cartilage and left at the site of the epiphyseal plate.

Understand the steps in bone remodeling and the cells involved.
remodeling: osteons are replaced one by one by removing old bone and laying down new bone in the same location. -Old bone constantly destroyed by osteoclasts, new bone constructed by osteoblasts -Osteoclasts care out small tunnels and osteoblasts rebuild osteons --osteoclasts form leak-proof seal around cell edges, secrete enxymes and acids onto the surface of bone, releasing calcium and phosphorus into interstitial fluid. Osteoblasts than take over by rebuilding bone.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that the expression level of γ-synuclein (SNCG) is associated with progression of many different malignant tumors. In this study, we discuss and assess the prognostic ability of SNCG in bladder cancer.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Medical records (2005–2013) were retrospectively reviewed for the population of interest. SNCG expression was identified immunohistochemically from bladder cancer tissues of 113 bladder cancer patients. The survival rate was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox proportional hazard regression model was used for analysis of predictors of bladder cancer.
RESULTS: SNCG was overexpressed in bladder cancer tissues compared with the normal bladder tissues (p<0.0001). SNCG expression in bladder cancer tissue was strongly related to tumor stage. However, SNCG level was not a prognostic factor of survival.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrate that SNCG is highly expressed in bladder cancer tissue and its expression is stage-specific, but it is not helpful for predicting outcome in bladder cancer patients.

The lever-action rifle￼
I enjoy reviewing lever-action rifles and have done so frequently.
They bring to mind the time of the American settlers who cleared the land for our country.
Lever guns were crucial at that time for self-defense. A farmer might not live very long if he doesn’t have a good weapon. Cattle were herded by men and women across wide, frequently hostile plains. They could be helpless in a crisis without a Henry or Winchester because it was frequently risky.
The lever rifle is not just a curious relic from the past. It is healthy and alive. They are ideal for farmers, hunters, and anybody searching for a fun range gun because of its capacity and simplicity of usage.
Lever action rifles are also encouraged to be used in cowboy shooting events.
I once owned an excellent Winchester 92 (actually made by Winchester). It was well-built and easy-handling. Over the years, I have had many lever action rifles. I have a Henry Big Boy .44 Magnum in my gun safe. We shot it yesterday – my sons had a blast.
You can spend hundreds of dollars on a lever action rifle. You can buy a plain Jane .22 LR at the low end, or an Italian-made replica of the Winchester 1873s and 1892, at the high end.
The Marlin 1895 is in the middle of these two extremes, and it is a doozy.
Marlin’s focus became civilian firearms after the war. In 1917, The Hopkins & Allen Arms Company was bought by Marlin for this purpose. By the 1980s, Marlin was producing more rifles than Winchester.
What was Marlin’s advantage over Winchester?
The “side-ejection system” used by Marlin’s rifles ejected spent bullet casings from the side. This was significant since a Marlin could now be mounted with a scope without obstruction. Angle-eject system by Winchester wasn’t as well known. Marlin’s sales increased at the same time that the optics market was flourishing.
Later, Marlin expanded its compatibility to heavier calibers than Winchester
rifles. An illustration of such is this Marlin 1895.45-70.
You have a sizable library once you include their handgun caliber rifles (in.357,.41, and.44 Magnums).
Of the top five makers of lever action rifles, Marlin ranks at the top. The other four are Winchester, Henry Rifles, Mossberg, and Browning.
The “Guide Gun,” a Marlin 1895.45-70
Marlin’s.45-70 family of rifles is the basis for our Marlin 1895 Guide Gun 1985.
Eight different.45-70s and two.410 lever-action shotguns may be found if we include all models from 1895. Henry also produces lever.410s, thus this weapon appears to be well-liked.
There are many variations for barrel length, ranging from 16.5 to 26 inches.
The length of the barrel on this rifle seems to be the “sweet spot.” Since our weapon is a “Guide Gun,” its 18.5-inch barrel is midlength.
I believe Marlin markets this gun to anyone searching for a versatile.45-70. one with a shorter barrel than the 22-and 26-inch models for ease of handling, but not as short as the 16.5-inch tube on their Trapper model.

|MSRP:||$1199 (approximate. MSRP not published)|
Shooting the Marlin 1895 Guide Gun
I positioned a target in the center at a distance of 50 yards and started firing 1,620 grains of hard-cast lead bullets. Four 405-grain bullets total. This ammunition shortage is something, but even with the six I had available to me, I was able to complete my task with these four “buffalo-load-equivalent” cartridges.
The target shows that I have three holes. I took another shot after one of my initial three somehow missed the target. In any case, the rifle is significantly more accurate than I am, and it would be adequate as a deer-stomper out past 100 yards if you just adjusted for trajectory.
Deer aren’t a problem because, in the 19th century, the.45/70 killed thousands of buffalo.
Finding reloading dies and a bullet mold would be the first thing I would do if the pistol were mine. The group would then be center-positioned on the paper after I had laid in a supply of handloads. I’d be prepared when hunting season arrived at that time.
For me, not a bad target. But, oh, look at that recoil! I don’t spend a lot of time at the rifle bench because I generally shoot handguns, so I haven’t really gotten used to being belted like I was today. I was certainly drawn to it!
There are numerous.
There are currently 45-70 rounds available, ranging from Hornady’s LeveRevolution to specialty rounds. You will not have trouble finding what you need, once ammo starts its comeback.
If you are very recoil-sensitive, I’d recommend you steer clear of this cigar-sized round. But, if you have the need, go for it!
Are There Any Other .45-70 Lever Guns Out There?
Marlin has a good claim in this market but there is one other similar gun that I know about – the Henry .45-70. Henry builds a heck of a gun. We shot my .44 Magnum Big Boy yesterday and it impressed my sons – and is in direct competition with Marlin.
Featuring side loading and ejection and a large loop, the Henry is one great option. I like my Henry, but would be happy with this Marlin as well. The main difference that I see, at a glance, is that the Henryâ€™s stock is made of a better grade of walnut and the blueing is a touch darker. These are subjective, of course, but if pressed that’s what I would mention.
Is the Marlin a viable option? Sure. Plus, you might be able to save a few bucks when you buy it. You could pick up this Marlin for a bit less than the Henry, when you can find it in stores or online. You could do worse than adding this to your collection. It’s a very nice example of a .45-70 lever gun that is accurate and reliable.


FAYETTEVILLE (KFSM) - A Washington County Sheriff’s deputy was arrested Monday (April 27) after being accused of choking his ex-wife, authorities say. He was released later Monday on a $5,000 bond.
Steven Hulsey, 43, was booked into the Washington County Detention Center and faces charges of first-degree false imprisonment, terroristic threatening, third-degree domestic battering and aggravated assault, according to jail records.
About 30 minutes after being booked, Hulsey was released on bond. He is set to arraigned in court on May 27.
Hulsey resigned from the Sheriff's Office last week, officials said.
On Monday (April 27), Hulsey was in a hospital in Springdale but was not there with a physical injury, said Greenland Police Chief Gary Ricker. The police chief would not say whether Hulsey was in the hospital because of mental issues. Hulsey was first hospitalized at Washington Regional Medical Center in Fayetteville before being taken to a facility in Springdale, Ricker said.
On April 23 at 3:23 p.m., officers were sent to a residence at 104 S. Napier Ave. in Greenland, according to an arrest report. Authorities received a call about Hulsey threatening suicide, the report states. When they arrived, officers found Hulsey locked in a bedroom, police said. He told them to go away, but they did not, according to the report.
After almost 90 minutes, Hulsey surrendered without incident, the report states.
He was taken to the hospital by his attorney for a possible prescription drug overdose, police said. Inside his bedroom, police found a rifle and a pistol, both contained a fully loaded clip and a round chambered, according to the report.
After Hulsey was taken to the hospital, his former wife, who lives at the same address, spoke with police. She said on Friday (April 17), Hulsey, who is 6-feet tall and weighs 224 pounds, came home intoxicated and got violent with her, pushing her head, police said. The report states Hulsey held a loaded gun to his head and then pointed the firearm at his former wife, telling her to kill him.
When Hulsey's ex-wife said she was going to call the police, Hulsey said, "Go ahead. I will kill them. Then they will kill me," according to the report.
On April 23, Hulsey caught his former wife looking through his phone and computer at 12 p.m., the report states. He got upset, and she left the residence, police said.
When she returned later that day, he started yelling at her again, and she threw a shoe at him, according to authorities. The report states that Hulsey got up, pushed her down twice and then started choking her. While choking her, he said, "You want to die? You are going to die," the report states. Eventually, she blacked out. When Hulsey's ex-wife regained consciousness, her daughters were coming into the residence, getting home from school, police said. She told them to call 911.
After that, she left with her daughters, and the last time she saw Hulsey, he grabbed his gun, went into his bedroom and locked the door, authorities said. Officers noted in the arrest report that they could see "visible bruising and markings" on the victim's neck.
As first reported by 5NEWS, Hulsey, who held the rank of corporal, submitted his resignation letter on April 22 and resigned on April 24.
The criminal investigation by Greenland police began on Thursday (April 23), one day after Hulsey submitted his resignation letter, Ricker said.
The termination notice from the Washington County Sheriff's Office noted Hulsey resigned during an "internal investigation."

International Healthy Streets Summit 2019
We are excited announce that we sponsored the Best Healthy Streets Innovation Award last night for the Healthy Streets Awards! Hosted in Glasgow, the awards represent a collaboration between Landor LINKS and Public Health Specialist Lucy Saunders, who has worked alongside TfL to create the framework that implements Healthy Streets. The approach itself refocuses the perspective of decision making by prioritising the health and wellbeing of the public.
Yesterday was the award ceremony, which showcases a number of fantastic schemes under a collection of diverse categories such as the Healthy Streets Champion, Best Shared Transport and Community Project of the Year. The Best Healthy Streets Innovation Award includes technology innovations such as air quality improvement with green walls and active travel infrastructure with cycle schemes. This year sees a range of finalists presenting their schemes, from local authorities such as the London Borough of Haringey to private companies such as Cyclehoop.
Today is the conference itself, where people will have a chance to network and discuss their best practices from different disciplines. This includes several speakers who will be debating and discussing the delivery and implementation of healthy streets where some of the discussions will be hosted with an international panel.

Several colleges offer electric bass training in the US. The Bass Institute of Technology (BIT) in Los Angeles was founded in 1978, as part of the Musician's Institute. Chuck Rainey (electric bassist for Aretha Franklin and Marvin Gaye) was BIT's first director. BIT was one of the earliest professional training program for electric bassists. The program teaches a range of modern styles, including funk, rock, jazz, Latin, and R&B.
Timbales are tuned much higher than a tom of the same diameter, and normally played with very light, thin, non-tapered sticks. They have relatively thin heads and a very different tone than a tom, but are used by some drummers/percussionists to extend the tom range upwards. Alternatively, they can be fitted with tom heads and tuned as shallow concert toms. Attack timbales and mini timbales are reduced-diameter timbales designed for drum kit usage, the smaller diameter allowing for thicker heads providing the same pitch and head tension. They are recognizable in 2010s genres and in more traditional forms of Latin, reggae & numerous world music styles. Timbales were also used on occasion by Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham. Gong drums are a rare extension to a drum kit. The single-headed mountable drum appears similar to a bass drum (sizing around 20–24 inches in diameter), but has the same purpose as that of a floor tom. Similarly, most hand drum percussion cannot be played easily or suitably with drum sticks without risking damage to the head and to the bearing edge, which is not protected by a metal drum rim, like a snare or tom. For use in a drum kit, they may be fitted with a metal drum head and played with care, or played by hand.
In some cases, to play the bass through PA amplification, it is plugged into a direct box or DI, which routes the signal to the bass amp while also sending the signal directly into a mixing console, and thence to the main and monitor speakers. When a recording of bass is being made, engineers may use a microphone set up in front of the amplifier's speaker cabinet for the amplified signal, a direct box signal that feeds the recording console, or a mix of both.
Most bass players stand while playing, using a strap over the shoulder to hold the instrument, although sitting is also accepted, particularly in large ensemble settings, such as jazz big bands or in acoustic genres such as folk music. Some bassists, such as Jah Wobble, alternate between standing or seated playing. It is a matter of the player's preference as to which position gives the greatest ease of playing and what a bandleader expects. When sitting, right-handed players can balance the instrument on the right thigh or like classical guitar players, the left. When sitting, no strap is required. Balancing the bass on the left thigh usually positions it in such a way that it mimics the standing position, allowing for less difference between the standing and sitting positions. Balancing the bass on the right thigh provides better access to the neck and fretboard in its entirety, especially the lower-pitched frets.
A sizzler is a metal chain or combination of chains that is hung across a cymbal, creating a distinctive metallic sound when the cymbal is struck similar to that of a sizzle cymbal. Using a sizzler is the non-destructive alternative to drilling holes in a cymbal and putting metal rivets in the holes. Another benefit of using a "sizzler" chain is that the chain can be removed and the cymbal will return to its normal sound (in contrast, a cymbal with rivets would have to have the rivets removed). Some sizzlers feature pivoting arms that allow the chains to be quickly raised from the cymbal, or lowered onto it, allowing the effect to be used for some songs and removed for others.
As the music of the world was evolving, so was the drum set. Tom-tom drums, small crash cymbals, Chinese cymbals and hi-hat cymbals were added to the drum set. The hi-hats were the primary way for the drummers of the big band era to keep time. Before 1930, while playing the New Orleans jazz and Chicago styles, drummers would choke the cymbals on the "ands" of eighth note figures as an alternative to playing a buzz roll, the rim of the drums, or on the woodblocks to keep time. This muting method of keeping time by choking the crash and china cymbals proved to be awkward, so the drummers of that time came up with the idea of having a foot-operated cymbal. This resulted in the creation of the snowshoe cymbal, a foot-operated cymbal. It enabled drummers to play the eighth note figures between the right and left foot, improving the ergonomics and facility of drumset playing and helping drummers to keep a more steady rhythm.
Drummers using electronic drums, drum machines, or hybrid acoustic-electric kits (which blend traditional acoustic drums and cymbals with electronic pads) typically use a monitor speaker, keyboard amplifier or even a small PA system to hear the electronic drum sounds. Even a drummer playing entirely acoustic drums may use a monitor speaker to hear her drums, especially if she is playing in a loud rock or metal band, where there is substantial onstage volume from huge, powerful guitar stacks. Since the drum kit uses the deep bass drum, drummers are often given a large speaker cabinet with a 15" subwoofer to help them monitor their bass drum sound (along with a full-range monitor speaker to hear the rest of their kit). Some sound engineers and drummers prefer to use an electronic vibration system, colloquially known as a "butt shaker" or "throne thumper" to monitor the bass drum, because this lowers the stage volume. With a "butt shaker", the "thump" of each bass drum strike causes a vibration in the drum stool; this way the drummer feels their beat on the posterior, rather than hears it.

Processional Cross Now a Part of the Church Service
Have you noticed a new addition to the church service? Following the tradition of the church’s Anglican roots, many United Methodist congregations have brought back the practice of utilizing a processional cross upon entering and exiting the sanctuary for the worship hour. The cross represents the presence of Christ, much like the candles represent the light of Christ.
The person who carries the cross is referred to as the crucifer (cross-bearer). The crucifer leads the acolytes in processing into the sanctuary. When the service is over, the crucifer takes the presence of Christ out into the world.
On a historical note, the processional cross that is being used during the worship hour is actually an old flagpole that was once used to house the Christian flag in the sanctuary of Oak Cliff United Methodist Church in Dallas. The flag was donated for sanctuary use in 1972 by the Keystone Sunday School Class. When Oak Cliff UMC closed, many items were either given or thrown away. Pastor Rene’ utilized the opportunity to secure the pole for his office. Pastor Katie suggested that it be used as a processional cross.
As a final note, the children of the church are to be commended for their important role serving as acolytes and crucifers. They do their part in service for their church. Along with the adults, our church is very blessed by its faithful membership.

My family and I went on a road trip through New England and finished our trip at Abbey's Lantern. We fell in love with the place! Erika is a fantastic host, she pays attention to every detail to make your stay comfortable and peaceful. The place is beautiful, they have a great lawn with hammocks and an outdoor living room to relax and enjoy nature. At night, you can set a fire and read under the stars. The rooms are special. Decoration is flawless and every room has all you could need from fireplaces to bathtubs with delicious products. Breakfast was yummy! Erika is an excellent cook and she prints a beautiful menu every morning for you to choose what to eat. We will definitely go back in the near future. Thank you for a fantastic stay! It was the perfect way to end our trip.

My wife and I loved Abbey's Lantern Hill Inn! The fireplace in the Down East room was great. A bottle of white wine and strawberry covered chocolates made for a nice pre-Valentine's Day. Erika and Peter were very gracious and the kitchen was also very convenient. Breakfast was very good. We can't wait to return and use the deck when the weather gets warmer.

I found this beautiful Inn just by Lantern Hill and the stunning Mystic Countryside and only a 10-15 drive from Mystic itself last year, and I'm so pleased I did! and I've just been lucky enough to be able to go back.....and it got better!! As a business traveler it's nice to unwind when you get to your room and hotels can be noisy. Here is peace and serenity personified, the WiFi is perfect to catch up on emails and then there's streaming Netflix if you want to wind down with a movie or documentary. The Inn and yard has been upspeced and looks fabulous.My room, The Down East was spotless, has a lovely fire for the winter nights to come, and was so quiet. On top of all that, the Innkeeper and her staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and made my stay a total pleasure.

My friend and I arrived at the Inn. We went in to it and there was no one to greet us. Soon a women appeared.I said "Hi."She said "I'll be with you in a moment, I'm with someone else." and left us standing there. She then came back and said again, "I'll be with you in a moment, I'm with someone else." and left us again.No greeting from her at all.No smile, nothing! She did not introduce herself at any time during our stay. She then came back and said "I'll show you to your room. When you are ready I will show you where the breakfast is." Which she did. She was not very friendly during our stay and was rather rude to my friend and I during breakfast. When we came downstairs for breakfast, I said Hi. I started to ask her how we go about ordering breakfast , She replied "You tell me what you want but NOT RIGHT NOW I"M MAKING SOMEONE ELSE'S". My friend had asked if she would share her recipe for a pear tart she had made. She answered "NO, I DON"T SHARE RECIPES". She never thanked us for staying there either. I was disappointed in the room we stayed in The Country Room, there were large stains on the carpet and there were tiles on the bathroom floor that were not on properly. For such a high cost per night you would think your room would be better. I have stayed at numerous bed and breakfasts and this was not one I would come back to.Usually the owners are friendly and they give you a nice little tour of the home.We were left standing in the hallway!This is more like an Inn than a Bed and Breakfast. The area inside for breakfast is very small just a four person table. The public area inside is in the same small area where the breakfast table is,very small. That's it! The rest are rooms.There are outside areas to sit at with tables, but what if it rains?

After spending our 5th time at Abbey's Lantern Hill Inn our stay was perfect. We stayed in the Cadillac room for the first time and it was beautiful. Very romantic with a private deck, spacious room and bathroom with a jetted tub. Very soft bathrobes came with the room as well as an iron/ironing board. The deck included a small refrigerator which is a nice extra. The deck had a table with a citronella candle, umbrella with two chairs along with two lounge chairs. Every morning we were treated to a delicious breakfast. Here you can have your choice of having a light breakfast of cereals and yogurt for example or eggs, pancakes, french toast or an omelette. It is a wonderful place to relax and unwind. Attention to detail can be found every where you look. The grounds are landscaped and there are cozy chairs with a grill under a portico, two hammocks as well as adirondack chairs surrounding a fire bowl. We love coming here and always feel welcome. It's close to everything such as Foxwoods, Mystic and Rhode Island, yet still secluded. We are already planning our next visit.

Abbey's Lantern Hill Inn is, quite simply, the perfect place for couples looking to spend some time together in a beautiful, natural, relaxing environment, without sacrificing first-class comfort and amenities. The Inn is located on a lovely country property in a quiet town not far from famous Mystic, CT. The property is kept very well by Erika, the manager, and her team of assistants. There are seven different rooms and the one we chose, the Country Room, was wonderful. There is a second-floor patio with table and chairs, overlooking the property. Erika is clearly very dedicated to ensuring that every single guest is comfortable and happy. She personally cooks breakfast (and there are lots of choices!) and is really good at providing any advice/info you may need concerning where to go and how to get there (and when to go, where to park, which road is more scenic, etc.). The grounds surrounding the rooms where guests stay include, among other things, comfy hammocks that you can just relax in as long as you like. The location is simply perfect. You are away from all the noise and smoke of Foxwoods and the touristy atmosphere of Mystic, yet you can get to each with only a short drive. If you live within 4 hours of this Inn, then you owe it to yourself to visit with your spouse/significant other. (Though those further away will enjoy it just as much!) My wife and I were looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway from the pressures of life and that is exactly what we got. We were not hours away from civilization, though, but really close to one of the most picturesque New England towns, with lots of things to do close by. My wife and I cannot recommend this Inn highly enough. We look forward to coming back again soon. And thank you, Erika, for making our stay so great!

Abbeys was absolutely wonderful!!! As a young couple, it gave us the relaxation that we needed but was close enough to fulfill our desire to enjoy dinner and a show for a mere 6 dollar cab ride. Our room was absolutely beautiful, clean, and modern! It was definitely not your "grandmothers" bed and breakfast. We can't wait to go back in the fall!!

Abbey's Lantern Hill Inn is a winner of Tripadvisor’s “Certificate of Excellence”, a member of BedandBreakfast's Diamond Collection, and certified by Connecticut Green Lodging. The innkeeper, Erika; has a beautiful, cozy, romantic and convenient home for the needs of all occasions. Abbey's Lantern Hill Inn is walking distance to Foxwoods, and only a 5-minute car ride when it is cold. My girlfriend and I cannot wait to go back sometime over the summer!! This inn is not only close to Foxwoods, but Mashantucket Pequot Museum, Mystic Seaport & Aquarium as well as one of New England's finest beaches, Watch Hill, are all under 25-minutes away. My girlfriend and I stayed in the Cadillac Suite, a romantic and spacious room featuring a 2-person Jacuzzi tub surrounded by tropical plants, California redwood and Spanish tile. The room included two large closets for his and her belongings during the stay, some chairs next to the bed, flat-screen TV of course and a very large and beautiful private bathroom. The bathroom extends out to a completely private second –level deck. Each morning, Erika has all sorts of food available for breakfast. If you want something quick and easy, she has granola bars, danishes and other things of that nature. If you prefer a sit-down breakfast of either pancakes or eggs, Erika prepares a very delicious personal breakfast for you. Depending on time of eating breakfast, you might be eating by yourselves or combined with the other guests. While eating breakfast during our stay, we enjoyed chatting with two other couples about where they were from or what they did at night while staying at Abbey’s. Overall, we had a marvelous stay at Abbey's Lantern Hill Inn. Erika was an absolute amazing host and we had a great time. Abbey's Inn is simply beautiful and a very convenient location to many things!! This was our first "Bed and Breakfast" stay together and we cannot wait to come back here!!

A CITY MP has written to South West Water and council leader Tudor Evans, demanding to know why a new road was incapable of handling this week's flooding, writes Keith Rossiter.
Gdynia Way, the main route into Plymouth from the east, was closed by flooding for more than seven hours on Wednesday.
On Thursday drivers were faced with more chaos as the deluge continued, closing the road for a second time.
"It's utterly appalling that the rain came down and the city hasn't been able to cope with it," Oliver Colvile, the MP for Sutton and Devonport, said.
Gdynia Way has been open less than a year after a multi-million pound revamp that left local traders fuming.
Mr Colvile said: "A lot of Government money has been spent on this road and local businesses were badly affected. I am just stunned that we may have to go through the whole thing again."
He said that if the road had to be dug up again he would fight to ensure that the council pays "proper" compensation to businesses hit by the disruption.
Engineers from South West Water last night sent a camera into the drains and overflowing sewer to try to identify the cause of the problem.
A spokeswoman for the company said they were "very much hoping" it was a blockage which could be dealt with there and then.
"We believe the problem is entirely unconnected with the new road layout," she said. "We have had a lot of rain recently and this is the first time this has happened which is why it took us somewhat by surprise. It indicates to us that the problem has happened recently.
"The working hypothesis is that it is a blockage or partial collapse, most probably something that has happened relatively recently."
Plymouth City Council, which came under fire after the initial road closure, said the flooding on the road was not linked to the £19million East End Transport Project, which began in 2010 to improve traffic flows in the area.
A council spokesperson said: "South West Water now believes that there may be a problem with the network in this area beyond the extremely bad weather, such as a sewer collapse or serious blockage. The company will be surveying the sewer to locate the damage and arrange to carry out any necessary repairs.
"Plymouth City Council would like to make it clear that the flooding this week was in no way related to the flooding that historically affected this road.
"Previous flooding was caused by inadequate highway surface water drainage and this was successfully resolved as part of the £19million investment in the East End.
"Prior to starting work on the East End scheme, Plymouth City Council consulted with all the local utility companies to ensure they carried out any necessary alterations to their apparatus, as well as give them the opportunity to include any future proposed works they had planned.
"South West Water carried out various diversion works necessary to accommodate the East End Scheme.
"There were no known problems with the sewer on Gdynia Way at that time."
South West Water will be holding a meeting this afternoon to discuss the findings from last night's investigations.

Debbee Thibault Starts Young :
Always artistic and creative as a child and teen, Thibault developed a passion for old toys. When she was a little older, she tried creating antique-style pull toys and candy containers that she couldn't afford to buy. But it was reading the 1985 Christmas issue of Country Home Magazine that was a turning point. The cover of German-style Santas captivated her. Since craftsmen from 19th and 20th century Germany made their figures from cardboard and paper mache, she experimented with a formula of her own. "I used starch, glue, and various kinds of paper - everything from newsprint to paper bags -- to create a pulp."
Her first Santa completed, Debbee approached one of her favorite antique shops to ask if they would display it on a commission basis. "My first Santa was holding a tiny feather tree and a newspaper. The owner, Helen Perry, was a friend. She loved and thankfully put it on display," Thibault continued. "As I was leaving, a famous quilt dealer entered the shop, saw my Santa and said 'I need that!'" On a strict budget, Debbee struck a bargain with the dealer, trading her Santa for a red, white and blue quilt she loved. "Both of us left the shop elated and I still own that quilt!"
Continuing Her Art:
Debbee continued her art, often selling figures on the "payment plan" to collectors who could afford them. However, all that changed when she met Denise Pontius, the young owner of Uncle Tom's Antique and Folk Art. "She carried very early antiques and one-of-a-king folk art," Thibault recalled. "she loved my things AND she was willing to pay me outright for the figures!" Four owners later, Uncle Tom's in Southern California still carries Debbee Thibault American Folk Art. "It's the longest relationship that I've maintained with any store."
Country Home Magazine:
By 1993, Thibault found herself featured in Country Home Magazine, the same publication that inspired her first piece eight years earlier. From that 1993 article, "I received over 1,000 requests for information from all over the world in just three weeks." The increased exposure gave Debbee the opportunity to exhibit at L.A. trade shows but her success meant production methods had to change. Sequestered in her grage working on 17 paper mache prototypes in 1996, she realized, "I had to reproduce my figures while still maintaining their integrity and quality. Paper mache just didn't try fast enough."
Over time, Thibault developed a "secret formula" for the paper composition in her folk art figures. Confiding that the mixture contains powdered paper mixed with high quality tree resin, she admitted, "we actually have two formulas." Southern California's seasonal humidity determines which one they use.
"I still create the prototype for each design, paint it and give i its own personality and character," Thibault explained. "But now I have a small staff of talented artists that handcraft the pieces we sell in the stores. It's important to me that they're made in the United States. I'm an American artist and my figures are 100 percent American-made. My collectors appreciate that.
600 Stores Nationwide:
Debbee Thibault American Collectibles can be found in 600 stores nationwide as well as England and Japan. What sets her work apart from others? "The whimsy of it touches the child that lives in each of us. They hold the look and the feeling of history but with a contemporary twist. I want to tie my work to the present and insert my personality in each design."
Glass Ornaments in 2006:
2006 marked the tenth anniversary of Debbie Thibault. "I wanted to enter our tenth year with a big splash, a celebratory gift to ourselves. And, I'd always dreamed of transforming my designs into glass."
As an American artist, I wanted to be true to the flavor of those first glass ornaments from Woolworth's. Through my research, I found a German company that understood the feeling part of me. I felt a strong connection with them. They embraced the idea that I was doing business with my heart," she says, describing their working relationship.
Ten Ornaments for Tenth Anniversary:
"We began with ten ornaments to commemorate our ten year anniversary in 2006," Thibault explained. The designs are a mix of hanging and clip-on styles and capture the whimsical character of their paper mache predecessors. "I'm a collector," Thibault stressed. "My goal was to crate ornaments that I, as a collector would want."
More from Debbee on Glass Ornaments:
I am fascinated with the wonderful old items of Christmas past. I have collected German antique ornaments from the time that I was a teenager. I love the aged look as well as the fact each one has a charm about them and story to tell.
At this time in our history I can not find anything out there in the ornament world that is new and that blends with the old ornaments on my tree. I started to do my own research on how I might find away to fill the void while creating using my own ideas for a line of glass ornaments. Through a friend I learned about a company in Germany that had created ornaments for the American market long ago. I had sampled a few of their items and felt they were a match for my ideas. Many of the artists who work for this little company had parents and Grandparents who also worked at creating these little Christmas jewels and these people also have a passion for making them.
I met with the company in 2006. We created a small group of 10 ornaments to start .My ornaments are made in the same way they were made 100 years ago. They do not reflect a commercial look at all. Of course they look great with my antiques, but do play nicely on a tree with the more contemporary items of today as well.
Each ornament comes boxed in a recycled holly berry paper box. Each is packed with old fashioned paper like something that you might find in your Grandmother's attic. I actually used the print from an old Christmas package to make sure the graphics were just right. Each little box has a dear little gift tag and bakers twine tucked inside. I wrote a little story about each piece on the tag and this makes for a nice keepsake. Your Grandmother or your Auntie might have attached a little note or card to a Christmas package along with her loving wishes.
We are creating the ornaments in very small amounts at this point. I have not figured out a plan for editions. Remember.... ornaments of this nature break from time to time and these are my own special designs so I have to consider all things as we move forward with various projects. I have some great surprises for this year so stay tuned.
