St Nonna’s Church is just the right TV setting for saying ’I do’
"Doc Martin’s taxi arrives through Altarnun, which makes for a great exterior shot, and it looks very Cornish."
The 12th century church, known for its intricately carved pew ends, plays a crucial role in the new series although viewers will have to wait to find out whether Doc Martin, played by Martin Clunes, finally ties the knot with onoff sweetheart, feisty local primary headteacher Louisa Glasson (Caroline Catz).
The couple already have a baby together, and yesterday was also the date for local babies to register to play the part of their small son at a casting session in the church rooms in Port Isaac.
Churchwarden Tony Naylor was among the deputation which met the crew at St Nonna’s Church, along with priest of the parish the Rev Andrew Balfour.
"The setting of the church is, I understand, one of the reasons why they chose it," said Mr Naylor.
"It is in a really lovely setting, and there is plenty of space outside and on the adjoining village green.
"They were looking at the tower and they walked around the outside, looking at it from all sorts of angles."
He said he was a fan of the series watched by millions of viewers nationwide.
"It is the www.officialnikesaintsjerseyshop.com/WOMENS-JABARI-GREER-JERSEY.html sort of programme you can watch without swearing, without people being killed and without cars bursting into flames. Kids Jabari Greer Jersey It generates an awful lot of income for Port Isaac."
The church in Altarnun will be receiving a substantial payment for the use of the church, which one source suggested could be as much as money could be used to restore a stained glass window dedicated to St Nonna, the saint, mother of St David of Wales, which the church is named after.
Naomi Phillipson, spokeswoman for Buffalo Pictures, the company behind the drama, said yesterday: "I can’t confirm that we are using that particular church and we wouldn’t reveal storylines but we are looking at a number of locations for lots of different scenes in the new series."

Florence residents also elect school board members.
"It’s never happened to me before, so Darren Sproles Jersey I really don’t know how to handle it," the incumbent mayor said with a laugh. "This is not to say that, by any stretch of the imagination, I will miss being out campaigning in the heat."

"Everyone can see there is an uptick in Sheffield and in the Shoals," he said. "We are investing in ourselves and making the improvements.
"We’re not in terrific financial shape, but we’re in better shape than we’ve been in years, and we’ve been able to come up with the financial matches for grants."

"I think they like that the council and mayor have worked together for the same positive cause and to make Muscle Shoals a better place to live, work and raise a family."

Roughriders slotback Fantuz signs with NFL’s Chicago Bears
"It’s really exciting for me," Fantuz said Friday at the NFL team’s practice facility. "It’s a whole new avenue for my career. I’m excited to make that step and get the opportunity to try out for the Bears.
"I’m particularly excited about this organization because of all the people I’ve met and all the history behind it and the fan base. It’s something I’m really looking forward to."
Fantuz, 27, also examined his NFL options last year before signing a new deal with the Roughriders. However, since he’s entering his option year this season, he had until Feb. 16 to sign with an NFL club.
The sixfootfour, 220pound Fantuz enjoyed a banner 2010 season with Saskatchewan. The native of Chatham, Ont., was the CFL’s leading receiver with 87 catches for 1,380 yards and six touchdowns.
He helped the Riders make it to last year’s Grey Cup game in Edmonton, where they dropped a 2118 decision to Montreal.
Fantuz became the first Canadianborn player to lead the CFL in receiving since Dave Sapunjis accomplished the feat with Calgary in 1995. Fantuz was named a league allstar last season for the first time in his fiveyear career.
However, cracking an NFL roster will be a big challenge for Fantuz. While he’s a big body and a huge target, there are questions about whether he is fast enough to be effective south of the border.
"It’ll be a big difference and a big change for me," Fantuz said. "It’s Jimmy Graham Jersey going to be a faster game. It’s going to be different. But being a football player, I’m excited for that challenge and I think I’ll relish it.
"I’ll be training for it and once training camp comes along, I’ll be ready to go."
The loss of Fantuz would be a huge blow to the Riders. In addition to his prowess on the football field, Fantuz is www.officialnikesaintsjerseyshop.com/WOMENS-JIMMY-GRAHAM-JERSEY.html a popular figure with local football fans and even has his own breakfast cereal, Fantuz Flakes.
Another question mark would be whether Fantuz could make the team as a specialteams player, the traditional route many free agents take to a roster spot.
The Bears have had great success developing Canadian defensive end Israel Idonije, who grew up in Brandon and starred at the University of Manitoba. Fantuz has followed Idonije’s career since the two met at an awards banquet when both were at university.
"I remember him being a huge guy and a really nice guy," Fantuz said. "He really has been an inspiration to not only me but a lot of CIS players who dream of making it to the NFL."
Fantuz won the Hec Crighton Award as the top CIS football player with the Western Ontario Mustangs in 2005.
He recently worked out with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Minnesota Vikings, Cincinnati Bengals, Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots.
Also Friday, the Roughriders announced that Steve Buratto has been hired as offensive line coach. He started his CFL coaching career in the same position with Saskatchewan back in 1980. The team also announced that defensive line coach Mike Scheper will not return next season.

Richmond High School Football
2013年8月20日Richmond High School Football
The Buffalo Bills looked like contenders in 2011 when they opened the season 52. They really had us fooled when they beat New England. Folks in Buffalo were getting ready for the playoffs for the first time in a long time. But, easy come, easy go. The Bills finished 610 and missed the playoffs for the 12th straight season. But don fault the Bills too much because the injury bug hit them hard. The defense couldn stop anyone and the offense wasn productive with Ryan Fitzpatrick at QB. Dave Wannstedt is the new offensive coordinator and they signed perhaps the biggest need during the offseason in DE Mario Williams. Williams will help a defense that ranked 26th in the NFL in 2011. But Williams wasn the only big signing on defense as they inked DE Mark Anderson as well. Expectations are high in Buffalo as they hope the officialnikeSaintsjerseyshop.com playoff drought ends in 2012.
OFFENSE: Chan Gailey used the spread attack with QB Ryan Fitzpatrick throwing out of the shotgun. Fitzpatrick is accurate and smart in the pocket but his arm strength is questionable. In his defense, Fitzpatrick did suffer a rib injury half www.officialnikesaintsjerseyshop.com/WOMENS-DARREN-SPROLES-JERSEY.html way through the season that may have contributed to his second half struggles. Vince Young was signed to be the backup but he may be better suited than Fitzpatrick in Gailey system. Even if Young isn the starter he is much better than last year 2 Tyler Thigpen. Brad Smith will be used in the The Bills ran the ball well early in the season thanks to Fred Jackson. Spiller was moved to receiver early in the year. Jackson is elusive and can break tackles with excellent balance. Jackson was well on his way to an AllPro season when he went down in week 11 with a broken fibula. Spiller came on strong after Jackson injury and showed why the Bills are very high on his abilities. Spiller isn the workhorse that Jackson is. Tashard Choice showed signs at times last year and FB Corey McIntyre is mostly effective on special teams. Buffalo top receiver is Stevie Johnson. Johnson won be considered a speed demon but he can beat the corners when played one on one. The question is who will play opposite Johnson? Donald Jones suffered an injury in week 11 that ended his season. Jones is a tough receiver who blocks well and has good speed. David Nelson has excellent size and good hands. Marcus Early hasn been able to play because of a heart ailment but the team is hoping he can develop into a downfield threat. T. J. Graham is a former track star and is a burner. Graham is a great vertical threat but needs to be more physical and must hold onto the football. Ruvell Martin and Derek Hagen will provide veteran depth and Naaman Roosevelt is hoping to get more reps. TE Scott Chandler is a good route runner and has good size. Lee Smith and Mike Caussin will fight for backup time. The Bills offensive line improved greatly at the beginning of the 2011 season. Center Eric Wood was the cornerstone of this unit who is a great communicator and is very determined to succeed. When Wood was injured the line struggled. Guard Andy Levitre can fill in at center and tackle but is best at guard. Kraig Urbik and Chad Rinehart could battle for starting positions. Erik Pears won a starting job last season and was signed to a contract extension. Pears is a good technician and is very good at the point of attack. Chris Hairston won a starting job after Demetress Bell went down with an injury. Hairston will struggle at times but has good arm length. Cordy Glenn will compete with Hairston for a starting spot from day one. Glenn is huge and moves well for his size. Rookie Zebrie Sanders will be a versatile swing backup. Michael Jasper moved over from the defensive line last season and has promise. Mark Asper, Sam Young and Colin Brown add depth.
DEFENSE: The Bills defense began the 2011 season with plenty of optimism but ended with too many holes to succeed. Dave Wannstedt will take Kids Darren Sproles Jersey over and transition this group to a 43 scheme with the addition of Mario Williams and Mark Anderson. Williams is a complete player and will return to having his hands on the ground in the 43. Williams is big, strong and is a great athlete. DE Chris Kelsay and Anderson will make the Bill defensive line one of the best in the AFC. Kelsay is more suited to play the 43 and Anderson had 10 sacks with the Patriots in 2011. DT Marcell Dareus had a great season in 2011. Dareus is strong and has the ability to get to the QB. Undersized Kyle Williams is very athletic but is coming back from a foot injury in 2011. Shawne Merriman was inconsistent last season and had a hard time staying healthy. If he can stay on the field, he can be a subpackage rusher. Danny Batten has shown promise and is a key on special teams but hasn lived up to expectations. DT Kellen Heard has plenty of upside but is battling back injuries. Dwan Edwards, Torell Troup, Alex Carrington and Spencer Johnson will factor in the rotation. At Linebacker, Nick Barrett was the best acquisition last season and will line up on the weak side this season. Barrett has range and is a three down linebacker. Kelvin Sheppard will be the starting linebacker. Barrett has great instincts and is a hitter. There are some questions on the strong side with Arthur Moats moving from the outside to the inside last season. Moats showed signs as a pass rusher in the 34 but must learn the strong side in the 43. Kirk Morrison is a versatile linebacker who can be a tackle machine. Nigel Bradham is explosive who must improve his instincts but will fit into the mix. Chris White, Bryan Scott and Tank Carder will also look for playing time. The Bills saw many struggles at cornerback. Drayton Florence was cut in May. He was too inconsistent so the Bills went for a youth movement. Aaron was another player who was injured in 2011 but hopes to stay healthy in 2012. He has good ball skills and is a physical player. Stephon Gilmore is a big, physical corner who is fast with a great upside. Veteran Terrance McGee is good against the run but can stay healthy. The Bills are solid at safety. George Wilson is the leader and Jarius Byrd is underrated. Leodis McKelvin is hoping to get more playing time after losing his job last season. Ron Brooks, Bryan Scott, Da Searcy will help in multiple spots.
SPECIAL TEAMS: Punter Brian Moorman isn the punter he once was but is still one of the NFL top punters. Kicker Rian Lindell was another Bills player who was put on injured reserve in 2011. Lindell looks to return to form this season.
SUMMARY: This isn a return to the 1990 Bills teams but they are making strides in the right direction. They have enough talent to match their AFC East opponents. The additions on defense will be a huge benefit and the Bills must stay healthy. If they do, the playoffs are a strong possibility.

Obama makes another birth certificate quip
But instead of Donald Trump a famous "birther" who posted online this week a video asking Obama to go public with his college records and passport it was Obama himself raising the issue.
"Once [Mitt Romney] took office he pushed through a tax cut that overwhelmingly benefited 278 of the wealthiest families in the state and then he raised taxes and fees on middle class families to the tune of $750 million," Obama said at a Saturday rally in Nashua, New Hampshire, which borders Massachusetts, where Romney served as governor.
Among the increases, Obama said, were "higher fees to be a barber, higher fees to become a nurse. There were higher fees for Drew Brees Jersey gas, higher fees for milk."
"He raised fees to get a birth certificate," Obama continued, "which would have been expensive for me."
His audience laughing, Obama cracked a smile.
Behind the joke are the conspiracy theories of some conservative Republicans who maintain that Obama was not born in the United States, and is therefore not eligible to be president. Only "natural born" citizens of the United States are eligible to be president.
He released a certification of live birth during his 2008 presidential campaign, and in the spring of 2011, released his longform birth certificate. Both show that he was born in a Hawaii hospital on August 4, 1961. Contemporaneously published newspaper announcements also noted the birth in the Aloha State.
Still, some Trump among them have questioned the authenticity of the documents.
The president last publicly quipped about his birth certificate in September when he met another native of Hawaii.
"You www.officialnikesaintsjerseyshop.com/WOMENS-DREW-BREES-JERSEY.html were born in Hawaii?" he asked Andre Wupperman, whose mother said he was born in Hawaii and would turn seven years old the next week. "Do you have a birth certificate?"
Romney campaign spokesman Ryan Williams responded to Obama’s event, saying in a statement, "Today’s desperate attacks are laughable coming from a President whose only plan for a second term is to recycle the failed policies of the last four years while raising taxes by $2 trillion. As governor, Mitt Romney worked with Democrats to close a $3 billion deficit, balance four budgets while cutting taxes 19 times, create tens of thousands of new jobs, and lower the Massachusetts unemployment rate to 4.7%."
New Hampshire is one of several battleground states which are seeing attention from both campaigns with the election just over a week away. The Granite State has four electoral votes.
