With schools across Boulder County dealing with varying levels of damage following this week's flooding, the St. Vrain Valley School District has announced that it will not hold classes again until late next week at the earliest.
Meanwhile, Boulder Valley school officials are still grappling with the decision of when to reopen schools while also working with safety officials to retrieve about 85 Louisville fifth-graders stranded at an outdoor education center in Jamestown.
St. Vrain spokesman John Poynton announced Friday afternoon that district schools would not reopen until at least Thursday, with schools in Lyons likely to be closed longer than that. All district activities have been cancelled or postponed until schools reopen, officials said.
Superintendent Don Haddad wrote in a letter to parents, "We are assessing the situation in collaboration with emergency responders and actively developing a plan to continue school for (Lyons) students." More information will be provided over the weekend, he wrote.
Haddad and the school board will meet at 4 p.m. Sunday at Educational Services Center, 395 S. Pratt Parkway, to discuss the flooding situation.
The extended closure could mean that students have to make up days later in the year, but Poynton said figuring that out isn't a priority right now.
"We believe we're going to need that much time to do this safely," Poynton said of the extended closures, noting some schools have yet to be examined for damage. "We're a long way from having a full assessment of all facilities," Poynton said.
In addition to examining schools, district officials have to make sure the roads and bridges used to get students to school are safe, he said.
Boulder Valley on Friday cancelled all activities and sports games scheduled for this weekend, including those that were rescheduled from the past two days, but did not announce when specific schools would again be open to students.
While many BVSD schools have minimal damage from leaky ceiling tiles and clogged roof drains, and the area around Boulder High School experienced heavy flooding Thursday, the district is most concerned about reopening north Boulder's Crest View Elementary, officials said.
Crest View first flooded on Wednesday night. On Thursday, clean-up crews found about 85 percent of the school's floor covered in 4 inches of mud and water. Despite sandbags piled at all entrances, the school flooded again Thursday night.
In a letter sent to Crest View parents Friday, Principal Ned Levine and BVSD Superintendent Bruce Messinger said the school would not be ready for students until the second half of next week at the earliest.
"What we do know now is that Crest View will not be ready yet for classes on Monday or Tuesday and our school will definitely be closed Sept. 16 and 17," the letter said. "We will email you more specifics as we proceed with clean-up and restoration which cannot begin until flood waters recede from the building."
Parents also are still waiting for about 85 fifth-graders from Louisville's Fireside Elementary to be evacuated from the CalWood Education Center in Jamestown. The students, who are there for an outdoor education session, were stranded when the floods made the roads impassable.
There were plans in place for National Guard helicopters to land at the center and retrieve the students Friday, but the rescue of residents of Jamestown and other isolated mountain communities took precedence, and those efforts were postponed until Saturday at least.
The students are safe, well cared for and have plenty of food and water, according to district spokesman Briggs Gamblin.

Jennifer Aniston
You knew her as: fashion-addict, will-she-or-won't-she-end-up-with-Ross Rachel Green. Now you know her as: Despite having a go at indies like "Friends With Money" and "The Good Girl," she's the go-to rom-com gal -- which is somewhat ironic given the tabloid attention given to her own love life. But she has been very active professionally. Aniston starred in "The Break-Up" with Vince Vaughn, "Bruce Almighty" with Jim Carrey, "He's Just Not That Into You," the 2010 films "The Bounty Hunter" and "The Switch," and her last big success, 2011' "Horrible Bosses," alongside Jason Bateman and Jason Sudeikis. Where you'll see her next: She's currently filming "We're the Millers," which reteams her with Jason Sudeikis and costars Emma Roberts.

Kim Kardashian has reportedly sent out baby shower invitations, furthering rumors that this July she and rapper-boyfriend Kanye West are expecting a baby girl.
The reality TV starlet, 31, is said to have sent out invites for the June 2 bash in music boxes that play West's song "Hey Mama" when opened. There's also a wind-up ballerina twirling to the song the rapper wrote for his late mother, according to E! News.
If this story is to be believed, it's safe to say that the couple is likely expecting a girl, which had previously only been rumored.
And this kid is likely to be musically inclined from the get-go: TMZ reports that Kardashian has plans to bring their child along when West kicks off his concert tour in October.
It seems a bit odd that the first-time mom would be willing to pack up and go along with West, but she's already traveled quite a bit during her pregnancy for both work and her relationship.
West and Kardashian have been dating since April 2012 but have been friends for even longer. Kim's younger sister Khloe Kardashian Odom recently revealed that she'd been trying to set them up since 2004. The couple announced in December that Kardashian was with child, just a few months before she reached a divorce deal in her short-lived marriage to ex-husband Kris Humphries.
The closely scrutinized "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star has dealt with even more criticism since becoming pregnant, with detractors commenting on supposedly excessive weight gain and simply impractical wardrobe choices. Obviously, her feet have gotten the "I'm pregnant" memo, but Kardashian's brain has yet to catch up, as she still insists on forcing her swollen limbs into strappy heels.
Bashing aside, Kardashian recently received from fan support from British singer and "X Factor" mentor Cheryl Cole.
"Hi Gorgeous lady! Just wanted to send you a tweet to say I think you are an incredibly beautiful woman inside and out," Cole tweeted Thursday. "I can only imagine how tough it is to be heavily pregnant and feeling extremely vulnerable on top of some of the daily criticism you take! I admire your tenacity and send you my best wishes with the rest of your pregnancy #enjoyyourblessing x"
The supportive tweet prompted Kardashian to give a gushy public response.
"your message really touched me! Thank you so much for the support & positivity! Its so important for women to feel confident & at peace during this amazing time! Your sweet tweet really made me smile!" she wrote.
It's been a rough few weeks for Kardashian and West. Last week, West walked into a street sign. Earlier this week, his Lamborghini was hit by Kardashian's driveway gate, he went on a rant against his celebrity status during a concert, and Kardashian also said that she almost got into a car accident with a paparazzo.
"A paparazzi almost crashed into my car today! I am still shaking! He put me in such danger! When will this legalized stalking stop???!!!???" she tweeted.
With Kid Kardashian on the way, we're thinking not any time soon.

I did a lot of handquilting on this baby - a mixture of quilting and perle thread. The perle was a bugger to quilt with, but I eventually got my needles sorted out and after many evenings of stitching in front of the television, got there in the end. The only downside of using such a thick thread is that it stiffens the quilt - the rest of the quilt is all soft and snuggly. The butterflies are noticeably stiffer - and they warped the 'squareness' of the quilt.
Not that Tristan minds! He just loves it and has spent a good part of today climbing in and out of his bed to go under his new 'covers'. God love him :)And here's a photo of the back - it's cheater flannelette. So warm and snuggly and the perfect colour combination for this quilt. Now I just have to add the label, but since I'm not giving this one away, there's no rush, right?
Since this is such a momentous occasion, Tristan's Hungry Caterpillar Quilt is my entry for this year's Blogger's Quilt Festival

Difference between revisions of "Fall River (Massachusetts)"
Revision as of 19:45, 19 October 2010
Fall River is a city in Massachusetts on the south seacoast. Fall River has the highest percentage (over 40%) of Portuguese of any city in the country; most are of Azorean descent. Fall River was the largest cotton textile manufacturing area in the late 1800s (AKA Spindle City). Many of the old brick buildings now lie vacant, have been renovated into stores such as the Burlington Coat Factory, and others on Quequechan Street, while others have burned (one in 1983 or the Kerr Mill fire in 1986) as well as been torn down. In and about the areas around these mills the streets, once cobblestone have been paved however near the center of the city (end of Plymouth Ave) you may catch a glimpse of the past after a bad winter when the pavement is broken up. In fact that area was paved over (including the trolley tracks about 20 yrs ago).

Wayland professor inducted into international fraternity
Timothy Kelley, director of instrumental studies at Wayland Baptist University, was recently inducted as a new member of Phi Beta Mu, an international school bandmaster fraternity.
The induction was held Feb. 23 in San Antonio. O.T. Ryan, former longtime band director at Plainview High School, sponsored Kelley. Co-sponsors were Cody Myers and Roger Edwards, both of Amarillo.
"You have to be nominated to be in this organization, and just knowing there are people out there who respect your work is a great honor," Kelley said. "There are a limited number accepted, so it's pretty special."
According to the organization, in order to be considered for membership in Phi Beta Mu, a director must have at least ten years of successful teaching experience and must have produced and maintained an outstanding and consistent band program in schools. The fraternity is an honorary, non-profit organization established in 1938. It has approximately 275 active members in Texas, with chapters in most of the 50 states and in some foreign countries.
Kelley has been band director at Wayland for seven years, coming to WBU from five years at Auburn University in Alabama. He has also worked at the University of Mississippi and the University of Central Arkansas and spent seven years in the Arkansas public schools. Since Kelley has been at Wayland, the instrumental program has increased in activity, performance level and enrollment, as well as recognition around the region.
"Our students have worked hard to build a great reputation around the state and our community," Kelley said.

Happy Blogiversary
But by far, the best thing about this blog has been the readers. This is a very time consuming hobby and there is no way I would return to the computer night after night to document my experiences if it weren't for the support from each and every person who visits this blog. I have received emails and comments from people that I have inspired with my recipes, people asking for cooking advice and people trying to legally intimidate me. It has been so much fun! When I first started this blog several of my family and friends asked "why?" I joked that I wanted to change the world one recipe at a time. And while this was purely for laughs, as I am not a person who sets existential goals, it is the comments from readers that make me realize what I do every other day on this little blog is worth it.
In order to celebrate this momentous occasion I have decided to have a giveaway. I found this precious set during my last visit to Sur La Table and thought it was a great way to celebrate the warmer weather. It is a slider patty press and a bun cutter. Sliders are wildly popular at restaurants these days and even national fast food chains have joined the fun. I have no doubt that homemade sliders would put those versions to shame and I think these goodies will make the at home slider recipes a breeze. And don't think you could only use this press for beef burgers - the possibilities are endless: turkey burgers, chicken burgers, shrimp burgers and crab cake sliders to name a few.
In order to enter the give away you must enter a comment stating your favorite Elizabeth's Edible Experience recipe (either one you have tried yourself or one you thought looked the best) by 12:00 am EST on Saturday, April 18th 2009. I will use a random number generator to chose the winner and with the winning announcement I will also post the most popular recipes over the last year.

Well so far I've only made the Crawfish and Cream over pasta. As soon as my hubs took a bite his eyes lit up! We had it for leftovers the next day and it was even better.
Since we live in Louisiana I love reading all of your regional dishes but everything seems so yummy.
Friday we're having a friend over and I'm going to make the Crawfish Turnovers and Crawfish Enchiladas (I got the duty of peeling crawfish after a boil on Saturday so I took a lot haha).
I go to your blog everyday and can't wait to try more things!

One year? It's been a year already? Well it's certainly been a delightful and entertaining one and I have SO enjoyed visiting your blog. DH has tried numerous recipes you've posted and we've savored each and every one! Impossible to pick a favorite. However, since Minime's been asking for sliders lately, the Individual Orange and Chocolate Cheesecakes gets Best Recipe and the Crawfish and Cream over Pasta post gets honorable mention for best photography! Congratulations on your one year Blogversary and I look forward to celebrating many more with you.

Happy one year to you!!
I am definitely intrigued by the snappy scallops recipe. I love scallops, but most recipes I've found seem to have too much going on with the scallops - I think something would be lost in the delicate flavor of scallops if there are too many other flavors going on. Your recipe seems perfect and I can't wait to try it.
- April 16, 2009 at 9:18 AM
- Joelen said...
Congratulations! What a great giveaway to celebrate too! I think my fave recipe you've posted and shared would be the Andouille Cheese Grits with Crawfish Sauce. One reason for this is because your niece and nephew's video was pretty cute and the dish captured your roots in New Orleans. I love how the grits are flavored and that crawfish sauce was an excellent way to top them off. Kudos and congrats again!
- April 16, 2009 at 9:23 AM
- Kassy said...
Congratulations! I would love to try the fried pickles! Those are my husbands favorite :)
- April 16, 2009 at 9:32 AM
Your Crawfish Cheesecake is something that I've been dying to try. With a hubby originally from New Orleans, he can never get enough crawfish and other great food from that city! Congratulations on your 1-year anniversary! Keep up the good work :)

It's a tie: The Pound cake (because you so perfectly comapred it to the Sex & the City Scene... hilarious). And the Chocolate Thumbprints - because the idea of using a wine cork is toooo good!).
- April 16, 2009 at 12:14 PM

Well of course my favorite would be your Louisiana Crawfish Cakes from the "And the Crawfish They Caught in Arabi" post. Why? Because I got to taste them when you and Forrest came to our Tiki Party!!
Happy Anniversary!

Your post on Giada's lasagna rolls way back when reminded me to make them after I had first seen it on her show. I've since made it several times. I'd love to do more of your Southern recipes but they seem to be so involved--I'm not sure if I have the time or patience for them yet. Congratulations on the year!

This sounds so trite since you posted it yesterday but I have been searching for a good crawfish or crab cheesecake for years after having one at Jaqueimo's. My family is from New Orleans, but this was one treat that never was served in any of my memories. But goodness is it delicious!

I love your blog. I grew up in Texas, did my undergrad in New Orleans at Tulane, and now live in California. One of the things I miss most about my time in New Orleans is the food. I was so excited when I stumbled across your blog but disappointed that I didn't have access to the ingredients here in CA. Then my husband discovered cajungrocer.com where we could order crawfish and andouille sausage and we haven't looked back
For Easter we made Corn, Crawfish and Andouille Chowder. It's definitely my favorite. Even our 2 year old son couldn't get enough of it.

A year already! Wow! When I looked back to see which were my favs I never imagined you posted so many! My favorite blogs would have to be the ones featuring my kids :) Baking Memories, Sghetti Noodle Beans, and Petite Parade Partiers.
I was going to try to list all the ones I tried by there were too many to list (for example: Gold Medal Winning Salsa, Bread Head, Turkey Day Troubles - Installment #1, Soup-er Idea.) But my all time fav (and I had it cooked for me by the blogger herself) is Mussel Memory.
Keep up the great work! The entries are so fun to read and a always a source of cooking ideas. For Sawyer's birthday, I am going to make the mini quiches!

Alright, there's a new rogue making the rounds on the internet today. It's called Windows Antivirus Patrol.
For those of you who do not know, a rogue antivirus program is a piece of malware that pretends to be an antivirus program. It then scans your computer and detects threats that are not actually on your computer. It is just trying to make you purchase it.
Here is how to remove it:
Step #1: Reboot your computer. As soon as you see anything on your screen, press the F8 key.
Step #2: On the boot menu, choose Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
Step #3: Once the computer has started up, in the command prompt window, type in regedit and press enter.
Step #4: On the left side of the new window, navigate to the following location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\
Step #5: Highlight Winlogon.
Step #6: Double-click Shell and clear the entry data and replace it with "explorer.exe" (without quotes)
Step #7: Run explorer.exe.
Step #8: Navigate to %appdata% and delete guard-xxxx.exe. (Please note that the "xxxx" may be just a random string of letters)
Step #9: Reboot into regular mode.
Step #10: In order to make sure that your computer is fully cleaned, we will run MalwareBytes Anti-Malware. Download it here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/
Step #11: Run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and install it.
Step #12: Run a full scan. This may take some time depending on the number of files on your computer. So I suggest that you go do something else while you are waiting for the scan to finish.
This may be a good time to watch a 30 minute show you've been meaning to see, or finish that good book you have been reading that you just cannot seem to put down.
Step #13: Once the scan is done, click OK on the dialog box in order to see the results.
Step #14: Should it find anything, click Remove Selected and allow it to reboot your computer if it asks you to.
Step #15: Your computer should now be free of Windows Antivirus Patrol.

Schaumburg, Elgin-area YMCAs prepare to merge
The Alfred Campanelli YMCA in Schaumburg has taken over management of the four branches of the Elgin-based Prairie Valley Family YMCA, the first step toward a full merger within the next two years.
Gary Bublitz, president and CEO of the Campanelli Y, informed the Friends of the Campanelli Y of the change late last week. The move means the Prairie Valley Y's four branches -- the Taylor Family Branch in Elgin, locations in Gilberts and St. Charles, and the Camp Edwards branch in East Troy, Wis. -- are under the management of the Campanelli Y.
"At this point, we're hoping that the only changes will be positive," Bublitz said Monday.
The move is consistent with YMCA of the USA's recommendations for smaller Ys to join together to create greater efficiencies and provide a wider array of services, he added.
Though the economy has played a part in the desire to seek such efficiencies, Bublitz said there are other organizational reasons, as well.
Brad McDermott, spokesman for the YMCA of the USA, said sharing resources is encouraged for Ys of all sizes if it can result in serving their communities better. This can either be through a full merger as is happening between Schaumburg and Elgin or simply by sharing back office space or promotional material, he said.
"In recent years we've seen about five mergers a year," McDermott said. "Large Ys have done it too. It's a local decision and it may not be the right course for every Y."
The Schaumburg and Elgin organizations together have more than 9,000 members and about 300 full-time and part-time employees. Bublitz said he didn't expect the number of employees would or could shrink significantly apart from upper management -- such as his becoming the sole CEO.
In the months ahead, the boards of both Ys will be working together on reducing debt and overhead while continuing to provide high-quality programs to the communities they serve, Bublitz said.
The Prairie Valley Y, formerly the Elgin Y, opened in 1866, according to its website.
In his email to Campanelli Y supporters, Bublitz noted the prior connection between the two merging YMCAs. The Elgin Y created the Twinbrook Y in Schaumburg in 1968. This branch became independent in 1983 and changed its name to Campanelli in 2000, Bublitz wrote.
Bublitz said Monday that the prior relationship between the two Ys should contribute to a harmonious merger. The two suburban YMCA boards felt no pressure from above when they began exploring the possibility of a merger almost two years ago, he added.
Though individual Ys aren't called franchises, that term probably is as close as any to describing the organizational relationship between them and the YMCA of the USA, Bublitz said.
As the merger takes effect, the two Ys probably will adopt a single overall name that both communities can support. But individual branches will still have their own names, so the Schaumburg Y will probably continue to be known as the Campanelli branch no matter what the Y's parent name becomes, Bublitz said.
It's also possible YMCAs across the region may continue to band together in different ways in the future, but the current merger will be work enough for the next two years, he added.

BUFFALO, N.Y., Aug. 22 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama unveiled a plan designed to make college more affordable to more students, basing federal aid levels on new college ratings.
"The bottom line is this: We've got a crisis in terms of college affordability and student debt," the president told a basketball arena packed with a raucous crowd Thursday at the University at Buffalo, part of the State University of New York system.
"There aren't many things that are more important to that idea of economic mobility, the idea that you can make it if you try, than a good education," he said. "All the students here know that; that's why you're here."
Obama's three-pronged approach would include the college ratings system "so students and taxpayers get a bigger bang for their buck," jump-starting innovative competition among colleges to encourage student success "without jeopardizing quality," and helping students who must take on debt find "ways to manage and afford it."
Students would have to do their part as well, the president said as he began a two-day campus bus tour in New York and Pennsylvania.
Some of his proposals will require congressional action, while others can be achieved administratively, Obama said, and some aspects of his plan "won't be popular" among various stake-holders.
"[But] I have confidence that our country's colleges and universities will step up ... and lead the way to do the right thing for students," he said.
Students receiving federal subsidies and grants must complete their semester's coursework before receiving federal financial aid for the next semester, he said.
"We'll make sure we're building in flexibility," he said, "But the bottom line is, we need to make sure that if you're getting financial aid, you're doing your part to make progress toward the degree."
Obama told the audience he tasked Education Secretary Arne Duncan with developing the rating system criteria to be in place by the 2015 college year.
"I think we should rate colleges based on opportunity" of helping students from all backgrounds succeed, he said, and include metrics such as how much debt students have when they graduate, graduation rates and their entry into the workforce.
The answers should help students and parents "determine how much value [colleges] really offer."
The ratings also will determine how much money the federal government allocates to colleges and universities, Obama said, adding that states will be encouraged to follow the federal government's lead.
He said he hoped to expand the "Pay as You Earn" plan that allows students to apply only 10 percent of their income toward their college debt.
The program has two obstacles, he said. One is that too many current and former students aren't eligible and the other is the lack of knowledge about the program.
"We need congress to open up the program to more students," he said.
The administration will launch an educational effort on the program.
"If we move forward on these three fronts," he said, "I guarantee you, we will help more students afford college. We'll help more students graduate from college. We'll help more students get rid of that debt so they can get a good start in their careers."
Obama gave essentially the same speech later at Henninger High School in Syracuse, N.Y. But the president also got in a couple of digs at his Republican opposition in Congress.
"The idea used to be that here in America anybody could make it. But part of that was because we put these ladders of opportunity for people," Obama said.
"Unfortunately, you may have noticed that in Washington, rather than focusing on a growing economy and creating good, middle-class jobs, there's a certain faction of my good friends in the other party who've been talking about not paying the bills that they've already run up; who've been talking about shutting down the government if they can't take away health care that we're putting in place for millions of Americans.
"Those are not ideas that will grow our economy. They're not going to create good jobs. They're not going to strengthen the middle class -- they'll weaken the middle class. So we can't afford the usual Washington circus of distractions and political posturing. We don't need that. What we've got to do is to build on the cornerstones of what it means to be middle class in America -- a good job, good wages, a good education, a home, affordable health care, a secure retirement."

Winter Wheat Needs Moisture, Corn Being Planted
KSCB News - April 1, 2014 11:30 am
The latest government snapshot says the Kansas winter wheat crop is in need of moisture in most of the state.
The National Agricultural Statistics Service reported Monday that 25 percent of the state's wheat crop is in poor to very poor condition. About 43 percent is rated as fair, with 30 percent in good and 2 percent in excellent condition.
The report noted the persistence of dry conditions in southwest Kansas during the past week, while parts of eastern and northwest Kansas received some light rain and snow. Extremely windy conditions have caused blowing soils, particularly in southwest Kansas.
Farmers have also just started putting in their corn crops. An estimated 1 percent of the planned crop has now been planted.

Domonic Brown hits 2nd home run this spring, Phillies beat Yankees 4-3
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
CLEARWATER, Fla. – Domonic Brown and Tommy Joseph hit long home runs in the seventh inning and the Philadelphia Phillies rallied past the New York Yankees 4-3 Tuesday for their first win of the exhibition season.
Brown connected off Zach Nuding, sending his second home run this spring over the batter's eye in center field. Brown is competing for the left field vacancy.
Joseph, a catcher considered by some as the Phillies' current top hitting prospect, sent a two-run drive deep over the left-field fence. He was acquired from San Francisco last summer in the trade for Hunter Pence.
Ichiro Suzuki went 3 for 3 to lead the Yankees. He legged out an infield single, stole second and scored on Mark Teixeira's double in the first inning off Kyle Kendrick.

Here at Maine State CU we recently decided to bring a lot of the marketing under internal direction. We had the first meeting of our Internal Marketing Committee last week, and as far as I'm concerned it went pretty well.
The only thing I noticed was that most of the ideas that were brought to the table were very traditional and orthodox marketing initiatives.
We were discussing the possibility of a President's day auto loan promotion. We ended up deciding that the best thing to do would be to just promote our indirect lending.
I Would have disagreed, but to be honest I'm still getting used to the fact that my opinion has an impact on what we do here.
The usual rate promotions, or promoting something like indirect lending (which I whole heartedly dislike, but that's a topic for another post) aren't going to change peoples' minds about the credit union or get them to decide to go with us instead of a bank.
My point is, we need to think outside the box if we're going to bring in new members with a promotion. It takes something that Bank of America can't or doesn't offer.
Offer the membership something that they find relevant locally and makes them feel like they are part of the community. It could even be something that makes them feel like they are making a difference by taking out that auto loan.
Offer a discount for fuel efficient cars (I know, the "green" loan is becoming something of a staple these days) or a loan that makes a donation to a local charity or cause on every payment. Something that says "I'm part of this" and makes people feel good about taking the loan out at the credit union instead of a bank.
The whole point of a promotion is to get people to look at your institution, try it out, and build a relationship. With Indirect lending its just that, indirect. Being indirect is completely contrary to the credit union's purpose. One of the big differences credit unions should embrace is being very direct, very involved, and very personal.
Indirect lending might get a few people to take out loans with the credit union, but once that loan is paid off, are they going to stick around and keep their accounts here? Most of the people I see come into the credit union through indirect lending don't even know they have opened an account through the process.
If you want to create a relationship with new members, you've got to be working on that direct relationship from the get-go.

For previously issued drought statements see the archived status reports.
The drought is officially over for all South Carolina counties after the State agency members of the S.C. Drought Response Committee removed the incipient declaration for 9 counties on Wednesday, December 9, 2009. Much of the State, including the counties that were still in drought, received 150% to 300% of normal rainfall over the past 30 to 60 days. According to Hope Mizzell, S.C. State Climatologist, the wet pattern this fall (September through November) was just what was needed to saturate the ground and jump start refilling and recharging our lakes and groundwater. Some areas of the State such as Walhalla reported the wettest fall on record receiving 27.65" that is 14.8" above normal.
The wet pattern is expected to continue based on NOAA's long-range projections. According to Mark Malsick, S.C. State Climatology Office Severe Weather Liaison, "The current El Nino pattern has established an active, productive storm track over the southern US that will continue to deliver rainfall events to South Carolina every 4-5 days. This southerly track allows storms to tap into abundant warm moist Gulf of Mexico air. This warm moist air increases the chances for State-wide precipitation, and also intensifies the passing storms, which ensures even more rainfall per storm. The long range computer models continue to advertise this wet early winter trend through January."

South Carolina's natural resources are essential for economic development and contribute nearly $30 billion and 230,000 jobs to the state's economy overall. Find out why "Life's Better Outdoors".

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - After the first day of the 2013 New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Swimming and Diving Championships that took place on Friday night, the MIT women's team sits in first place out of the ten teams with 312 points, winning four of five swimming events. Springfield College is currently in second place with 172 points.
MIT picked up the first win of the evening in the 200-yard freestyle relay with a time of 1:33.46. Senior Elina Hu (Oshkosh, Wis.), freshman Katie Siegel (San Jose, Calif.), sophomore Michelle Cunningham (Wayland, Mass.) and freshman Lena Yang (East Stroudsburg, Pa.) crushed the previous NEWMAC record of 1:35.10 that was set in 2012 by Springfield College and MIT's own NEWMAC Open record of 1:34.60 from the same year.
Freshman Kate Yu (San Jose, Calif.) won her first individual event of her collegiate career when she swam a 5:01.48 in the 500-yard freestyle, finishing five seconds ahead of the second-place finisher from Mount Holyoke and earning an NCAA B cut in the process. In the 200-yard individual medley, senior Anna Kokensparger (Omaha, Neb.) defended her title from last year with her time of 2:03.87, crushing her own NEWMAC record of 2:04.57 from 2012.
MIT had six swimmers in the top eight in the 50-yard freestyle, taking second through sixth and eighth place. Springfield's Kelly Pennington touched first in 23.48 and was followed by Hu in second with a time of 23.82 and Yang in third with a 23.86, both earning B cuts. Junior Christy Rogers (Bend, Ore.) came in fourth with a 24.05, Cunningham was fifth with a time of 24.60, junior Joanna Yeh (Frederick, Md.) came sixth in 24.66 and sophomore Eann Tuan (Richardson, Texas) came eighth with a 24.94.
In the final event of the evening, the 400-yard medley relay, the MIT B relay touched first in the consolation heat with a time of 3:57.27, finishing three seconds ahead of Wellesley College, who finished in second place. In the championship heat, the A relay walked away with a win, turning in a time of 3:49.23.

You have a great looking product that takes less time to assemble compared to any other system. Plus, the new Euro-Spring 'over and under' configuration reduces stress on the frame, increasing durability and optimising the jumping performance.

But you know what? That's not this blog entry. I trashed that one. I trashed it because of a DVD extra that I watched from Angel, season 3. The extra is called 'From Page to Screen', and it covered pretty much what you would expect: the whole process of coming up with an episode of a show from conception to finished product.
The writers on the show have (if they are lucky) a week to write a 42 minute episode of a show. A week. Sometimes less. And this is the way they have to go about it:
- Someone pitches an idea and it gets structured it, point by point, in a writers' meeting
- One of the writers takes that away and writes an outline
- They return the outline and are given notes on it
- Take the notes away and write the script
- Get notes on the script and rewrite it
A week to write it. Sometimes for or five days. For 22 episodes in a year.
I realized that I, as a short story and novel writer, am in absolutely no position to criticize a few inconsistencies in a show when that's the process they have to go through so quickly just to get a script.
And I can't help but think that many of us who do write short stories and novels can be just a little bit too precious about our writing.
I have writing sessions where I come away only having written 50 words. Sometimes nothing at all. If I was a screenwriter, that just simply wouldn't be an option. People would be waiting for the script, and they would have deadlines too. Short ones.
If I was a screenwriter, I wouldn't be able to complain that I wasn't inspired or that I had no decent ideas that day or that I or that I was too tired or that I couldn't work from an outline. I wouldn't be able to wait two months between drafts to clear my head. I'd just have to do it. Right then. No matter what.
I wouldn't have the luxury of whining about an editor wanting to change that one little line that I loved. Everything I wrote would be torn up, mercilessly, if necessary, to make the episode work.
Now, I'm not saying that what is produced by a screenwriter working like this is necessarily better than that which a novelist working for a year or five years on a single book produces. (Nor vice versa, for that matter.) I'm not even saying that the forms are the same (fiction writing is a much more solo activity; screenwriting is more collaborative).
But I do think there's a lot we can learn from this type of process. About stripping away the chance for excuses. About not being overly precious and resistant to suggestions for changes. About planning and outlining and redrafting. About being accountable and about other people relying on you deliver something of quality on time, no matter what. About buckling down even if you're exhausted or uninspired or stressed. And that's what this blog entry always should have been about.

"When everything seems like an uphill struggle, just think of the view from the top"
Pacing and crewing the Angeles crest 100. So this year I didn't sign up for AC 100 since I was suppose to be fastpacking the John Muir trail. That didn't happen so I decided to come to Sierra Madre and hang out with my boy friend Andy Kumeda.
I also volunteered to pace him the last 25 miles of AC 100 and crew him.
I have only crewed and paced a few times for him, since we both are usually in the race.
He had a goal of under 27 hours and I knew I could help him reach it. With me crewing I could get him in and out of the aid stations so he could just focus on running.
Andy ran a great first 50 miles. The only issues he had was cramps because it was hot out there. He also wasn't eating a lot but I know that can be hard when you don't feel well. My friend George was running but didn't make a cutoff so decided to join me and help me crew along with Rocky ;-) he was a huge help as always.
Andy picked up his pacer Sharon at mile 50 she is fast and would keep him on his goal. I really knew since this would be the fastest Andy had run AC in, that by mile 75 he would have some issues. He is tough but I knew having run this race 7 times myself that the real race begins at mile 75. You have a few more huge climbs in there and it's tough because you are tired and sleepy.
I picked Andy up around 11pm.
I knew I had to let Andy regroup on the climb up Mt. Wilson and not push him hard just listen to him and keep him moving. He only stopped a couple times but only for a few seconds. He kept saying he wanted to sit at the top. He had rocks in his shoes so I told him at the top he could sit and take his shoes off. We got to the top and he sat and cleaned the rocks out of shoes and got moving again.
I just kept talking to keep him to keep him moving. I brought along an IPOD and little speaker so I played music and sung along to him.
I finally decided it was time to push him the last 9 miles. I looked at my watch and thought I needed to pick up the pace. He kept saying he didn't care about his time. But I did ;-) he trained hard for this and it was up to me to motivated his ass. So away I went running ahead singing out load dancing on the trail. I would run ahead and wait for him to catch up ,just like a game of cat & mouse. It clearly worked because he got going.
Andy worked hard and he trained hard and it all paid off in the end. His time was 26:33 a huge PR on the course for him he placed 18th overall.
I was very happy I was able to give back to Andy and help be a part of his success. I was also proud of Rocky for being such a good dog while crewing the first 50 miles. It was truly and honor watching Andy and all my friends run AC 100 congrats. to all who finished and to those who didn't finish you all gave it your best.
Next up for me Headlands 100 on August 6th. I guess I better train hard this week ;-)))

Nairobi- Kenya (PANA) -- In a bid to curb the acute shortage of nutrition personn el in Kenya, the ministry of medical services will recruit more nutritionists to meet demand, Medical Services Minister Anyang' Nyong'o has said.
Speaking during the National Nutrition and HIV Day at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) here Friday, Nyong'o said that the government was com m itted to improve the nutritional and clinical outcomes of HIV-infected Kenyans b y building on the gains made through the various collaborative efforts.
"One of the major challenges facing nutrition is acute shortage of nutrition per sonnel in the country coupled with the high demand for the same especially due t o HIV/AIDS.
Currently there are only 650 nutritionists in Kenya and my ministry i s in the process of increasing the numbers to meet the demand," Nyong'o said.
He noted that the HIV prevalence based in the recently-released Kenya AIDS Indic ator Survey Report (KAIS) indicated that the prevalence rate had increased from 6 .
1 per cent last year against the background of high malnutrition levels.
The minister revealed that according to the Kenya demographic health survey 2003 , 30 per cent of children under the age of five years were moderately stunted an d 20 per cent underweight.
In his speech, US deputy ambassador Pamela Slutz said the US government had set aside more than US$ 500 million for HIV/AIDS prevention, care, support and treat m ent activities in Kenya this fiscal year.
She noted that the USAID Nutrition and HIV programme had scaled up nutrition and HIV services which had led to over 50,000 people being served with nutritional s upplements, over 300 health workers trained and 60 health facilities supplied wi t h nutrition equipment and supplements.
Slutz said that good nutrition required a wide sector approach with well coordin ated efforts from different sectors and stakeholders.
She urged the Kenyan government to move a step further to improve the nutritiona l status of all people especially those living with HIV.
She also urged the government to embark on effective public/private partnerships to augment the current nutrition and HIV activities.

I agree with the rest of your post the Fluff, and respect your encoding skill, but then there's that theory of yours:
On Topic: My opinion on Ordered Chapters is that, encoders should wait until it's as simple on Linux and Mac, as it is on Windows, to watch a OC release.
At the moment, the patch LoneShadow created is a commendable start, and I've seen other efforts like this. But until it's added to the official mplayer build, it will only help those aware of the patch.

Ending credits can easily be compared to the fansubber's credits they often take much care to place them right next to important positions in the opening credits and often show they completely disregard that there is something like original credits that could actually be read.
I couldn't care less who translated, timed or typesetted a show. It has to be good enough and everything else is irrelevant to me. In this vein I could argue that fansubber's credits should be removed since they just clog up the screen.
But I don't think that would be right. Fansubbers put a lot of effort into subbing and it's right that they get credit for that. But that applies even more for the creators of the anime that put a trendemous effort into production and often don't earn enough to support a decent living. Cutting away the ending credits like they're just dead freight really isn't right towards all the people that deserve credit for what they've done. Even if most people can't read it or don't care about it.

To a certain extent it is possible to find English resources about the more well-known directors, voice actors, storyline writers etc etc; mostly fan collected or fan translated material. For this purpose it could arguably be useful to have translated credits. But as previously discussed, having them in an online easily searchable database is enormously more convenient and useful than having them plastered over the video in a most assuredly non-indexed and non-searchable form. Such a database already exists: ANN. Instead of googling around, you instantly get the person in question's name (with proper romanization), the kanji with which it is written in Japanese, ready for copypasting into search engines if you are so inclined, and a convenient list of what said person has worked on. Plastering translated credits all over our precious video gives you none of this except a romanization that cannot be copypasted but has to be typed manually into the nearest search engine. To summarize: it's inefficient, error-prone and goes to extreme lengths to avoid all the good things about the internet.
To sum up the thinly veiled insults of your intelligence and capabilities of logical reasoning and also wrap up the argument: it's not about respect. What is the point of crediting someone whose name might just as well be meaningless gibberish to the average viewer, even if it's correctly romanized; and whom noone but very very few viewers will ever care about or know who it is? You might just as well make up credits at random. No, the primary point of credits (beyond the 5-10 most well-known people) is not to inform the viewer of who did what and thus write their names down in history, but rather for the satisfaction of the credited person; a way to recognize that he or she has done a good job, and that the work in question is something they can be proud of as the work of their own hands. Thus, credits are not intended for the viewer but rather for the creators themselves, and hence translating credits is meaningless. The same applies to fansub credits, and hence it is none of your business to determine whether it's right or not for fansubbers to include credits. Some wish to credit themselves for various reasons, others don't. For the viewers, it doesn't matter in the slightest, but for the fansubbers it's relevant.
To summarize the summary, translating credits is at best an empty gesture to somewhat try to appease your guilty conscience, and ultimately yet another form of the all too common hypocrisy that is prevalent among Ethical Fansubbers and their supporters. End of longwinded argument.

Well, my argument was geared towards respect claimed by many fansubbers and also other non-professional groups organized around stealing intellectual property on the internet. It seems like you're against any form of respect in this matter and so I apologize for using your quote for my point. I was saying that it's hypocrisy to say the ending credits have no meaning while taking much care to place your own credits prominently and defending your rights (controlling distribution, condem stealing translations etc).
And I never made a point for translating ending credits. As you pointed out, there's not much point in doing so since any relevant information would be japanese anyway. Well, I do like watching openings and endings for each episode and happen to sleep better whenever the original ending was kept in place. I make an effort to believe in something like original vision or at least some kind of authenticity and don't like some random people, often with little or no artistic sense, to disfigure the work I'd like to see.
Oh, and I always thought that claiming it's all just wrong anyways is just as much an easy way out as is upholding some kind of hypocritic ethics. There's always been a lot of contrariness to fansubs but it's just the challange to balance off the ethics with the damage we're willing to deal.

Fluff already linked to an ordered chapters automatic remuxer that assembles full non-OC episodes from the segments. Couldn't that just be distributed along with each episode in torrents, or at least be publicised via a text file in such releases? I'm all for increasing ease of viewing and making people aware of useful tools.
It's just a stopgap solution before segment linking becomes widely available, but it would be quite helpful to Linux/Mac users encountering OC releases for the first time.

MKV ordered chapers are the next logica step. Keep up or get out of the way. And don't give me the "respect the original" crap. You're watching fansubs, they are ilegal, I think the respect is pretty cear. And whem i'm watching a fansub, I give my respect to the people who made it possible for me to watch the fansub: the fansubbers. The world may be filled with SUPER_AWESOME anime, but without fansubs, they would be worthless to me, so my respect goes first to the subbers

I don't particularly see it that way. It's just a bit bothering, that's all. Either way, it's things like these that push innovation.
I'm a bit more bothered by the fact that Haali's splitter (the program that handles this feature) is not open source, and that's the main reason why there isn't a Linux/OS X version of it.

I don't think it'd make a difference if Haali's source was available or not. The code that can be ported from it is just the matroska parsing stuff, for which there's libmatroska, or for demux_mkv behind mplayer. The main part of Haali is a directshow filter, which can't be ported anyway. Also, the directory searching code used for segment linking is unportable and would be useless.
I don't think there'll be support for ordered chapters in any of the main linux player releases for quite a while anyway. Not because it's difficult to code, but because developers can't be arsed with all the privacy, security concerns and making it cross-platform. Best opting for LoneShadow's patch if need be.

I'll ask again. What precisely are the privacy and security issues involved here? What are the threats and to what?
Can a file linked from a Matroska file be executed? (I can't imagine an argument in favor of this from a security perspective, but if that's the spec I'd be curious as to why it was designed that way.) What if the linked file has no executable privileges?
I'm not trying to beat a dead horse here, but all I see about this issue is some hand-waving about "security." What is the problem, and why can't it be easily addressed? And why is it seemingly a greater concern for *nix which overall has a tighter security model than vanilla Windows where most users run as root?
Edit: How does LoneShadow's patch address these concerns?

Would we have all those powerful graphic cards available for us to use without OpenGL? They are powerful because OpenGL forced them to be; and after they got so needed because of their power, the next logical step is to get even more powerful. OpenGL may no longer be ahead of its time, but it started everything.
Back on topic, ordered chapters is a nice feature. Too bad I still can't benefit from it, because I'm a MPlayer user even on Windows. It should be relatively simple to make a bash script that can make mplayer play things correctly using -fixed-vo; unless the audio isn't spliced like TheFluff said. I never needed to use ordered chapters anyway, so I don't know about the difficulties that may arise.
@LoneShadow: can you give a link to the thread on the mailing list where you posted your patch?

I've created a patch that adds ordered chapters support to ffmpeg. It was tested with BakaWolf's Code Geass and Hitsuji's Haruhi and seems to work well, but I want to do more testing and polishing before sending it to devs.
So anyone who wants to help, please post your results and bugs here (it's not against the rules, is it?) or send them to my mail wyskas -- 4t -- gmail.com

To enable it in mplayer, apply the patch, run ./configure, then open config.h, find these two lines
#define CONFIG_FILE_PROTOCOL 0 #define ENABLE_FILE_PROTOCOL 0
OBJS = allformats.o cutils.o os_support.o sdp.o utils.o
You have to run mplayer with "-demuxer lavf" option to force it to use ffmpeg's demuxers.
Known limitations:
doesn't work on Windows - sorry, right now it's Linux only. maybe later should work on Windows, tested in mplayer and ffplay
libass won't see font attachments from linked segments. that wasn't a priority, but I'll get to it eventually. done
doesn't check that streams in linked segments have same codecs and indices so it will segfault on incorrectly linked files fix in progress
broken timing when several ASS subtitles should appear simultaneously - this is a bug in ffmpeg, not in my patch.
update: calculate correct duration, silenced annoying "Ignoring seekhead entry" messages
IMPORTANT!!! This patch won't work with ffmpeg revisions >14548 because large parts of ffmpeg's matroska demuxer were completely rewritten. It'll take some time to adapt the patch to these changes.

@wiskas: Great! I'll test it right away!
I think you should be sending it to review on ffmpeg-devel as soon as you get it working... it may spend a long time in there while you adapt it to the devs' liking.
