GRETNA, La. (AP) — Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office deputies have arrested a Gulfport, Miss., man accused of inappropriately touching a 12-year-old girl when he was in Louisiana. Authorities also arrested his girlfriend, accusing her of ignoring his behavior.
Col. John Fortunato tells The Times-Picayune (http://bit.ly/18cpZbQ ) deputies extradited Ofeltio Mastrapa and Betty Lou Roberts, both 41, from Hancock County, Miss., on Tuesday.
Fortunato says the couple was visiting relatives overnight in Jefferson Parish on June 22 when Mastrapa allegedly climbed into bed with the victim and tried to fondle her.
Mastrapa and Roberts were booked with sexual battery and indecent behavior with a juvenile. Roberts was booked with an additional count of cruelty to a juvenile.
It was unclear whether Mastrapa and Roberts have an attorney.

---- — OK world, it's fairly obvious: His Majesty Barrack Obama just blinked!
After all his bellicose ramblings about his red lines in the sand and his vocal determination to punish those responsible, now he's discovered that he stands alone in the world arena and has folded his tent and crept away into the night.
His blustering about conducting warfare on "his personal volition" apparently caught up with him and he's suddenly discovered that the world is a very lonely place when everyone else is against you.
He's now going to Congress, with hat in hand, to seek "permission" to conduct war. Excuse me, hasn't that requirement always been quite plain in our Constitution? As a reputed "constitutional scholar" one would have thought he should have recognized that his consistent "executive order" end runs would be intercepted by the opposition, sooner or later.
Now let's all listen carefully to the furious back pedaling demagoguery which will ensue over the next few weeks while the administrations minions attempt to spin his myopic blinking onto a wide open and clear eyed vision of his plan to save the world from all those nasty people!

Updated: Spring City Police Chief Tony Kuklinski has provided a more detailed press release.
On October 16, 2012 at or around 0645 am, Officers of the Spring City Police and the Chester County Municipal Drug Task Force executed a search warrant on a residential apartment in the 300 block of Main Street in Spring City.
The property and its inhabitants had been the focus of an investigation for approximately 2 months.
We had numerous leads from residents of the Borough as well as investigative leads that lead us to believe that there was a significant marijuana growing and distribution operation at this location.
On entry into the residence officers found a marijuana growing operation in active use. There was a portable grow house, lighting, watering and ventilation systems running when we arrived.
A good amount of marijuana was found on the premises at the time, and it was apparent that the individuals recently harvested marijuana.
The participating agencies were Spring City Police, East Pikeland Township Police, East Coventry Township Police, and the Chester County Sheriffs Department.
The matter is actively under investigation and arrests are pending following conclusion.
Any persons that have information to illicit drug activity or any other criminal activity are encouraged to contact the Spring City Police Department at 610-948-3456. All information is held strictly confidential.
Original story:
The Spring City Police Department arrested three individuals this morning and broke up a marijuana growing operation in the 300 block of Main Street.
Police chief Tony Kuklinski told Patch in a press release that officers served a warrant at about 6:45am.
They seized "a growing operation...and a good amount of marijuana," according to Kuklinski.

TRAVERSE CITY — Wet, heavy snow put the "winter" in the Traverse City Winter Comedy Arts Festival this weekend as locals and visitors took part in dozens of free outdoor activities on downtown Front Street.
Ron Luce stood at the foot of a sledding hill east of the State Theatre on Saturday morning and snapped pictures of his children, Lauren, 10, and Holden, 5, as they slid down the slope in tubes. The family from downstate Horton came to Traverse City at a friend's invitation and planned to participate in as many events as they could during the weekend.
"We've only done this so far, but I bet the ice skating and the Ferris wheel are going to be fun, too," said Lauren, who sported a hat with penguin eyes and a beak.
At the nearby ice skating rink, Dan Pomeroy of Ann Arbor held his niece's hands and guided her backwards on the synthetic ice.
"It feels like standing on those whiteboards at schools," he said, before taking a tumble with niece Kylee Eising, 2.
Pomeroy grew up in the area and said he returned this weekend for the festival, which includes comedy shows and films and a Soup'R Bowl lunch, among other events. He planned to take in a live show starring comedian Robert Wuhl Saturday night,
Inside a warming tent, festival volunteers handed out skates from about 70 or 80 racked pairs, while another sharpened blades as fast as the skates were turned in.
"They didn't get sharpened at all last night. We were too busy," said volunteer John Donahue.
Scott Tuthill skated with sons Adam, 10, and Aaron, 8, before heading to the sports arena to watch the Monster Dog Pull.
"Can you believe this snow?" said Tuthill, who recently moved back to the area from Canton. "It's exactly what a winter festival should be."
As a crowd urged him on, long-haired miniature dachshund Scooby raced down a snow-covered track pulling a weighted sled. With a time of 8.9 seconds, he beat out defending champion Jack, a miniature pinscher owned by Chris Callahan, 10, of Traverse City.
"This is his first time," said Scooby's owner Norm Bowbeer, a Traverse City comedian who planned to perform at an open mic show at InsideOut Gallery Saturday night. "It's a great event."
Weimaraner Hank, of Kalamazoo, waited his turn to pull in a heavier weight class.
"This was a last-minute decision," said owner Ashley Baker, whose family arrived in Traverse City on Saturday at 2:30 a.m. "Once he got out here he kind of started hobbling like his feet are cold, so I'm not sure what to expect. He's a hyper dog, so once people start cheering, I think he'll get into it. My 4-year-old gave him a pep talk last night."
Nicole and Jason Hulet clad their standard poodle, Scholar Rootles, in an argyle sweater and played the "Rocky" theme song Saturday morning to encourage him.
"This is what he's running for," said Nicole Hulet, of Traverse City, holding up a stuffed cupcake toy. "We're really going to go for it."
The Monster Dog Pull is one of the most popular events at the winter festival, and attracted dozens of dogs of all shapes and sizes. This year's Grand Prize was a $300 package that included dog treats, toys and supplies, plus certificates good for a doggie "resort" stay, an identification microchip, and downtown shopping.
The winter comedy arts festival continues through today with more outdoor events and screenings of the movies "The Goonies," "The Princess Bride" and "Sleepwalk with Me."

|THE WELL OF EN-ROGEL. dry season occasions great suffering amongst the inhabitants. When I was last at Jerusalem, they depended almost entirely upon the Well of En-Rogel for their supply, and troops of donkeys, carrying water-skins, were constantly passing to and fro. The water in this well never fails, and after abundant rains it sometimes overflows, and forms a stream down the Kidron. The excavations lately made in this valley, by Captain Warren> under the auspices of the Palestine Exploration Eund, have revealed a curious underground passage, leading down from the city in the direction of the well, but apparently having no connection Avith it. It is impossible to conjecture the object of this passage: it is covered with an arched roof, and flights of steps lead down to it at intervals. It may, perhaps, have been connected with the water supply of the city; or it is even large enough to have formed a secret passage for troops; but no satisfactory conclusion regarding it has as yet been arrived at. Besides its mention as a landmark, the Well of En-Rogel is known to us as the scene of two incidents connected with the history of David. When Absalom, his son, rebelled against him, Jonathan and Ahimaaz, David's servants, " stayed by En-Rogel, for they might not be seen to come into the city;" and a woman brought them the secret instructions from Hushai which enabled David to escape (2 Sam. xvii. 2). It was here, also, that Adonijah, David's son, when he " exalted himself, saying, I will be king, slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by En-Rogel, and called all his brethren the king's sons, and all the men of Judah the king's servants " (1 Kings i. 9). Its retired position in the deep Valley of the Kidron, which afforded an easy way of escape from Jerusalem, rendered it, at the same time, an admirable place of concealment.

Recently, it was discovered that President Lincoln and Generals McClellan and Burnside were hosted on our farm during the Civil War battle of Antietam! The single bloodiest battle in American history, Antietam and the subsequent Union victory awarded Lincoln the confidence he needed to sign the Emancipation Proclamation.
Dennis and Leslie Frye of the Harpers Ferry Historical Association were at the head of this discovery. They were able to provide us with many pictures of the President and his Generals at various locations on our farm. During a walking tour, the locations of several previously unidentified photographs were revealed to have been on our grounds! For instance, a photo of General McClellan sitting with his advisors near a rather distinguished rock was placed present-day in the middle of our free-range chicken pasture! The land where our goats currently reside was camp for Burnside's infantry, whom Lincoln is depicted visiting in another photo.
We will keep you updated as we learn more. This history will be preserved in our Visitors Center. CSA members will be welcome to a tour of our farm's history: for inquiries, visit our website, call 301-980-3319, or email email@example.com.

It doesn't pay to come late to the party; you have to do a lot of reading if you don't want to miss anything! There are some beautiful names here. I'll try to do what I did over on the boys' thread--pick a Top Five and some runners-up.
Belphoebe--A lovely name which pairs well with Aphrodite. When I first encountered it, it seemed a bit extraneous next to just Phoebe, but it's grown on me. If the A-B initials don't make you feel bound to a theme, I don't suppose the matching E-endings would either.
Ceridwen--this seems perfect since you were saving it for a winter daughter. Ceridwen nn Winnie would be so cute! I don't think the major-deity theme is very obvious, since Ceridwen is lesser-known than Aphrodite. I hope your husband comes on board...
Circe--this should definitely be a contender, you've loved her so long. There's the matching E-endings and the Greek theme, but their myths don't clash, and Circe's spunk holds up nicely to Aphrodite's powerful image in spite of the uneven lengths.
Hermione--Greek again, but holds her own beautifully with Aphrodite. Hermione Granger is a good association if you're a HP fan (I know you are!), but she has perhaps made people lose sight of Hermione's other associations. Hermione feels much more "popular" than Aphrodite because of her.
Tinuviel--I'm with augusta_lee; how can I not love this name? The story of Beren and Luthien is one of Tolkien's loveliest. Tinuviel is gorgeous in every way, though definitely a twilight name--no sunshine. Personally I'd use it as a middle, but I'd be thrilled to see you use it as a first.
Runners-up would be Atalanta, Gwenllian (how are you pronouncing this? I checked it on Forvo and it sounds something like gwen-shee-AHN. That Welsh double-L can be very tricky), Bradamante, Cleopatra (personally I don't like this one, though I do like Clio/Cleo, but I think it works for you), Isolde and Morgana.
I'm mildly surprised that you adore Jezebel but dislike Jael. Talk of strong women...! I know an elderly gentleman who named his daughter Jael Ann, admiring the grit and strength of this Bible lady. Sorry, I'm with the majority on Jezebel. She really was bad, but even if you disagree, the name has a lot of baggage (though maybe not as much anymore in Britain?)
I'm enjoying seeing Elbereth and Eowyn on your middles list, and Silmarien makes me think of The Silmarillion (a potential problem?) I also adore Loveday. A name I'd also love in the middle, which I see as similar to Loveday, is Fairlight.
Best wishes!"He telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names."
Psalm 147:4

Oh, and I meant to mention I'm sorry to see Polyhymnia is no longer on the lists! It seems she wasn't getting much love in the forums, so here's a bit from me. She's over-the-top, I know, but I love her anyway. Polyhymnia is so much fun to say--it falls all over itself, it's so eager, sunny and energetic. I like the association with Madeleine L'Engle's novels. And it comes with sweet, down-to-earth nn Polly built right in--or maybe Mia, if Polly's not your style. Seems it's off the table, and that's probably for the best , but I do love it too."He telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names."
Psalm 147:4

Really, really late to the party but just wanted to chime in with my thoughts on your list Gorgeous names in general as always, Ottilie!
Atalanta- I've been really loving this since I (finally) finished reading Twelfth Night- the references to her are beautiful. I like the spunky, familiar-yet-different sound, feminine and elegant but no-nonsense and strong
Befana- sounds like an evil sorceress, not very kind
Bellicent- nice but not very girly, I like the Arthurian romance connection
Belphoebe- beautiful! like Atalanta, it's rare but the Phoebe part makes it much more approachable. medieval, magical and otherworldly
Bradamante- heavy but charming in an old-lady sort of way
Ceridwen- I know how much you love this... I wasn't a fan originally but seeing how much you love it has definitely changed my tune. wintry, nature-y and fairylike
Cleopatra- another name that would be hard to pull off and one of the few that are too far out there even for me, but given you have an Aphrodite I can't see that problem applying to you. strong, gorgeous, don't-mess-with-me name that can totally hold its own next to Aphrodite
Gwenllian- never heard of this, but sounds pretty and dreamlike. Nice reference with the Welsh princess
Hermione- it does have a cool sound, and goes well with Aphrodite, but I can't help thinking of Harry Potter even though I'm one of the few people I know who's never read it
Hypatia- great name, soft and approachable sound, wonderful story behind it
Isolde- I don't know the legend, but the name has a beautiful sound and medieval vibe
Jezebel- The woman in the Bible totally turns me off, sorry
Lyonesse- just sounds like "lioness" mispronounced to me
Lysistrata- it's a mouthful, but I actually love this name. modern-sounding and lyrical
Morgana- nice sound, and I like the idea of using an Arthurian name but I didn't really like her character
Musidora- a bit too whimsical and lighthearted for me, a bit flimsy
Nimue- pretty name, but not very feminine compared to Aphrodite, and I kind of want to see a longer name. I'd love to see it in the middle though
Olympia- maybe too themey with Aphrodite, but I do love it and it would actually be a cool theme (not cheesy or tacky at all)
Ourania- not a fan, sorry
Pandeia/Pandia- reminds me of a misspelling of panda, not a fan
Serafina- pretty and girly, but seems almost too normal for an Otter baby
Sunniva- not sure why but never liked this
Tinuviel- dreamy and fanciful, but also doesn't sound very feminine
Xenia- nice, but I could see definite pronunciation issues
Zenobia- pretty sound, I like the queen reference, and goes very well with Aphrodite
My favourites:
Olympia~Love names, literature, royals and horses~ <3
Favourite names:
Girls: Azalea, Cordelia, Elizabeth, Rosalind, Portia, Felicity, Juliet, Scarlett
Boys: Fitzwilliam, Sebastian, Percival, Prospero, Orlando, Darcy

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Tennessee has surpassed a thousand highway fatalities for the year, which is a large increase from the drop seen in 2011.
However, safety officials say a messaging campaign helped to keep the number from climbing even higher.
For the first three months of the year, the number of deaths on Tennessee roadways was on track to approach an all-time high.
In April, the Tennessee Department of Transportation put a running tally of the fatalities on 150 digital signs around the state along with public safety messages.
Kendell Poole, who directs the Governor's Highway Safety Office, said the number of fatalities has been flat since then.
The number of highway deaths in 2012 increased by about 70 compared to 2011, but were still well below the 1,300 deaths that occurred in 2004.

I write about the challenges of running your own business.
Entrepreneurs always talk about the work-life balance, and how to achieve it. As a woman, I have so much respect for those women out there who are successful mothers and entrepreneurs. I mean, being in a happy and healthy marriage is difficult enough. Couple that with raising children and running business? That seems nearly impossible to me. Perhaps that's why so many women I know choose one over the other.
What We Sacrifice
To build a company from the ground up requires tremendous focus, drive and commitment. For me, it took precedence over the mundane things in life – like coming home early enough to make dinner for my husband, or being "present" while my blackberry was buzzing away with important emails (that of course I had to check immediately!). For the last few years, my business came before my personal life. When we went on vacation, I spent half the time on my laptop and phone, and the other half wondering what I could be accomplishing if I was working. When I made plans with family or friends, I often bailed last minute because I was either working or too exhausted. When I spent time with my loved one, it was usually because I connived him into coming with me to some networking or social event. And starting a family? Unquestionable until I accomplished X, Y and Z.
The Rude Awakening
But then a catastrophe happened last month while I was away overseas, and I almost lost a family member forever. I'll never forget that brutal 10-hour plane ride back to NY. I kept asking myself: What IS the purpose of life? Is it to work all the time and push away all the things that money can't buy? What would be the point of having all the money in the world if I didn't have loved ones to share it with?
The fear of losing someone I loved woke me up. I realized that I had no work-life balance. Of course, I can't (and don't want to) change who I am, or my incessant need to build and grow. But I could change how I channel that growth. I absolutely love being an entrepreneur and building my company. But I also love being a good sister, daughter, lover, friend, and one day, a mother. We all know that there is more to life than just business and making money, but for some reason, I couldn't see it.
I recently heard inspirational speaker and entrepreneur Warren Rustand speak at an EO event, on how he mastered the work-life balance with 7 kids. He quoted George Carlin to make a point about how we currently live our lives:
"The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor."
What IS Work-Life Balance
The work-life balance is not simply about working less or starting a family. It's also about learning how to truly live and enjoy our lives. I'm determined to achieve that balance. Now, I don't obsess about work when I come home from work, like I used to. When I'm out to dinner, my phone stays in my bag. When I make plans with friends, well…I still sometimes cancel them :)
I used to believe that taking "time off" from work meant that my business wouldn't grow as fast as it should. Now I am confident that achieving the work-life balance will actually help my business grow, and life would be a whole lot more fun and enjoyable. In fact, I just found out yesterday that my company was awarded our first 5-year hospital contract, thanks to being a woman-owned business (click here to learn more about MWBE). It was the coolest reminder that we can have balance and still accomplish our goals.
Are you an entrepreneur who figured out the secret to balancing your business and personal life? I'd love to hear how you do (or plan to do) it!

I love George Carlin, such a wise statement. As a newly-started freelancer, I am still trying to find that balance between work/life. For me I feel an emphasis on life, so I don't think I could ever get to the point where I was working 80 hours a week. My struggle comes from how to grow my business in a smaller amount of time, which can be difficult. I think it just takes time and I think a true conscious effort to put work away when it's time to spend time with your loved ones, or simply relaxing. Sorry to hear about the catastrophe at home!
What a great subject Hanny!
I actually started my business out of being a parent and needing time to spend with my family.
Then as my company started being successful I to thought about what work I could be doing while on vacation.
Then I was set back 2 years ago with a life changing event that left me with a concussion to the point I really didn't know my ABC. who was there for me my children but also my business gave me drive to push on threw the dark days.
I realized in those days of dependence something I never had experience before, balance is important. I began to set limits such as no business thoughts after a certain time.. or I picked a day that I knew would be slow and had fun and would not let myself feel guilty! The best thing out of it all I began to enjoy my family and business again and definitely learned to delegate!

Money being wasted
The trip to China by Traverse City Area Public Schools administrators was a boondoggle of the highest sort. To add to the waste of taxpayers money they hired some buddies to sit in their chairs while they were gone. The Record-Eagle said $3,800 was paid to the subs. The participants were gone eight days and the chair-sitters were paid for 56 hours of work. I doubt that they worked the two-day weekend.
So how did they work 56 hours? Principal Tibaldi stated "When you've got a question about your son's grade or something you don't want to wait around for an answer. Doesn't the Traverse school system have vice principals in every middle and senior high school? That's the best you got Mr. Tibaldi? There would be nobody in that high school to answer a simple question like that?
I doubt that any high school principal even hears that sort of question, let alone answers them. I hope that the people who will push for the next big bond issue for schools will be ready for a rejection from voters who will remember how their money is being wasted.

Fully endorse decision
Regarding the Veterans Day concert at First Congregational Church, as a Christian, First Congregational member and veteran, I attended the concert and commend all who participated. Prior to the concert there were pictures of veterans, both living and dead, including my own, displayed on a video screen in front of the sanctuary. Many attendees may have thought the veteran's pictures displayed were an endorsement of the concert. I, for one, was not asked, nor do I endorse the inclusion of the Islamic Call to Prayer, or the concert itself. I do, however, fully endorse the decision by Pastor David Walls and church council member Doug Bishop.
While I respect the opinions of others, we now live in a politically correct world. I suppose a Christian prayer, Islamic prayer, Hindu prayer, Jewish prayer and a Buddhist prayer all could have been included; still others would have been offended. Then there would be no time for the concert. I'm sorry the young Muslim student and her family were offended. If the concert had included a Christian prayer and been scheduled for her place of worship, would the concert have even been presented at all?

WEBB CITY, Mo. —
Performance under pressure was celebrated Sunday afternoon in Webb City as players, coaches and families gathered at Webb City High School to honor the Cardinals' third football Class 4 state championship in a row.
All of the team's players were honored during the afternoon's celebration, where the state championship trophy was presented to the team. Head Coach John Roderique spoke during the ceremony.
"We're always asked about how we keep doing this, how we keep a winning attitude and how we put a winning team out there every year," Roderique said. "It comes down to two things: Our players and our coaches. They put everything they have out there. I'm extremely proud of the hard work and dedication in everything they do on and off the football field. I'll never stop being grateful for those coaches who help lead our team."
State Rep. Charlie Davis also attended the ceremony to present the team with a House of Representatives resolution honoring the team's accomplishments. Davis represents District 128, which includes Webb City.
"I'm always asked about Webb City football where ever I go," Davis said. "I tell people that there is not a school district that people aren't more involved than the Webb City School District. This community is a team and there is no place in the state with more pride in their team than what we have right here."
JC Chevere, whose recently released "Webb City Anthem," was scheduled to make an appearance at Sunday's event, but had to cancel due to an illness in his family. It was unclear Sunday whether his scheduled video shoot for the song will take place Tuesday.
"The song is one of those cool things that have come out of all of this," Roderique said. "We're looking forward to having him here eventually."
The Nov. 24 win over Helias Catholic at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis marked the third straight 15-0 perfect season capped with a state title.

Dear Readers,
It has come to my attention that I am not the only one who finds cat behavior somewhat difficult to understand. Ms. Boo can be charming (and purring) one moment, and nipping me the next. As an ambassador for peace and refinement, I felt our fans could appreciate my observations to better understand these complex creatures.
To demonstrate where some of our differences come from, I shall illustrate some scenarios. For instance, I enjoy nothing better than looking into a human's eyes with my soulful expression to communicate how much I appreciate them, whether it be from a treat offered, or a good rubdown. Ms. Boo, however, will walk into a room and inevitably be attracted to whoever is allergic to her or one who has no particular fondness for cats. Is this some universal cat torture mechanism or an innate desire to charm even hard hearts to their side?
Apparently, favored readers, prolonged eye contact is interpreted as a challenge to felines, whereas calm indifference is regarded as safe, inviting, and a sign of good manners. Therefore, even though she appears to simply be tolerating us by looking away and even bored, she's actually bestowing upon us her version of feline respect.
There are times, however, when I have witnessed Ms. Boo abandoning her indifferent demeanor for excitement for favored friends. She is particularly fond of her staff, and since trust has been established, she will approach her people and pet siblings with her tail extended straight up, and will greet loved ones with happy mews and forceful face rubs: "Love me, stroke me, smell me, and let me leave my delightful fragrance on you so everyone knows we're one!" I have yet to receive more than a nose touch, but it's just a matter of time before we establish a deeper intimacy…
Anyway, before we drift into despondency, let us get back to the subject: Deciphering cat body language! The two main things to watch are the ears and the tail. From my studies, it is apparent that cats' ears have the remarkable quality of extreme mobility. This is to assist them in their hearing, but also is a marker for their overall mood:Note how Ms. Boo's ears are flattened down and back. Her tail was flicking back and forth rapidly in a classic "I'm getting quite annoyed with you" look. Apparently she did not appreciate my innocent out-loud musings wondering if this "Hip Doggie" dress was flattering and/or appropriate for her to model or not.
From my experience, the more flat and back the ears are, the more likely you are to be the recipient of a rather unpleasant swipe to the beard, perhaps with hissing and spitting (a rather unrefined cat feature.) This may be accompanied by a growl and a fluffed tail. So when I saw this through the viewfinder, I nearly had an accident!
Fortunately, she was only yawning!
Another thing that tends to confuse us dogs and dog fans is that when we dogs wag our tails, this signifies happiness. For cats, however, if their tails are whipping back and forth, this is a sign that you're about to be lunch!
This has been a mere overview to what I've learned from my interactions with Ms. Boo. There are several good resources that I too will be studying intently. Might I suggest this link: Cat Body Language by Catster.Together we will persevere to mutual understanding.
Devotedly yours,

The up-side is that I'm headed to a friend's house for supper, and so I don't have to figure out any sort of meal tonight. Her husband cooks a special meal (usually) on Friday evenings, and they usually have a few people over. It's a small gathering, but I haven't seen them in a couple of weeks, and I decided to go.
I'm going early so I can just sit and color. She understands. Just in a weird space right now. I think I really need spring to come!!! Had a nice weekend with the weather last weekend, and now it's all dismal again. Now if I could just put my hands on my favorite coloring book...
I think I'm headed to bed soon. Socializing wears me out even more.
Read the forecast for my area, and we are supposed to have "cooler than normal" temperatures for the next 6 days. UGH. I may need to try to get one of those special lights for next winter to help keep depression more at bay.
I've wondered if those lights make much of a difference. I know that some doctors swear by them. I hope you got some rest last night.
I finished knitting a dog and I think that my next project is going to be knitting an Eeyore. I went to the shop today and got the yarn I would need. The colors aren't the best match for him but they're close enough. I swear I am going to have a zoo here soon if I don't stop this. LOL
It just seems to really help me to keep my hands busy and focusing on other things.
As for the light, I have a friend who uses one each winter, and she knows it makes a difference with her.
I've had a busy morning, so I think I hear a nap calling my name...My dog is still wound up from being in the crate, and I'm waiting for him to settle down a bit.
I guess in a way it does help to keep me present. I'm on my own most of the time and honestly I don't have many things to keep myself busy here. I wish I did. Having so much time to myself without much to do seems to make my brain go over and over the abuse. I still have a very hard time with guilt and shame over what happened. So when my mind has too much time to think about it's just not good. I'm going to work on a schedule Sunday and a list of things to do to keep myself busy. I'm hoping that it will help to keep me from getting too depressed again.
Enjoy your nap and I hope your dog calms down a little for you.
Okay, don't get whiplash here, as I change the subject. I'm just going to bury this comment in here, and if people find it, fine. If not, whatever...I feel like no one can hear me anymore. I feel like my life is spinning way out of control, I'm drowning here, and no one can hear me or even notices. I used to think no one would notice if I "disappeared," and those thoughts are nagging me again. No, I'm not going to do anything, but I do feel like I'm going crazy.
My weight is really scaring me these days, and I'm having some health issues, so I'm going to have to make a doctor's appointment even though I hate doctors and I don't have one that I feel is right for me. The doctor I have seen a few times is nice enough, but I don't feel that he looks at the whole picture and acts so nonchalant about everything even though I feel I'm a train wreck about to happen. And because I've had doctors who dismissed any complaint I had once they knew I dealt with depression and stuff that I feel this one probably does the same thing, but he is nice.
I decided I will call his office on Monday and when I do get in to see him I will tell him that I need someone to help me with my overall health not just prescribe a med for every individual complaint. I'm scared of seeing the lab work results and stuff, though. I know I'm not doing well with most everything, and I can't seem to rein it in and get on a healthier track, and I'm so sick of feeling sick and tired!!!
I just feel like no one hears me and I'm invisible, which is funny in a way because I usually wish I was invisible but not when I feel like I'm spiraling downward.
Does any of this rambling make sense?? I don't know whether to be angry or cry or what. I feel like I'm going nuts. I don't feel at all grounded anymore. What happened? What's going on?!!! The beginning of the year seemed to start off okay. What's going on? Sigh. I wish I knew.
I'm not working at the moment but I'm looking for work. I took some classes last year to do some online work but I haven't been able to find clients as of yet (despite ads, emails, letters, and more phone calls than I can count) and since I haven't been able to practice I'm worried that if I was able to find some clients right now my finished work wouldn't be as good as I want. So yeah, I'm not working at the moment, but I really, really, really, really wish I was. It sounds good to have the time off but honestly it just gives you more opportunities to dwell on all the bad things. I would much rather be busy working on something.
(((Hugs))) You're not invisible to me. I'm so sorry about how you're feeling right now. I wish there was something I could do to help you feel better. I struggle with those thoughts too. Please keep yourself safe, Misty.
I used to work for a clinic so I know how doctor's can be from both sides of the glass. Sometimes it does take the patient coming out and saying what they need. Otherwise most doctor's do just focus on the one problem and don't look at everything.
You don't sound crazy at all, Misty. (((Hugs))) I know it's hard to do but try to keep your chin up. You're at a low point right now and everyone has ups and downs, so don't give up. Try to be gentle with yourself and remember that you will feel better.
Just trying to hold on right now. I feel like I'm being pulled (or sucked) out into the abyss of insanity, and I'm tired of holding on, but another part of me says I must. I left a message with my T to try to get worked in this week if possible. I've been thinking, and I think he does "get" that I'm not okay because he is working with me financially to make sure he can see me, and for that I'm embarrassed and ashamed but grateful, too. I hope he has an opening this week, but if not, well, God knows my needs, too, and He will help me hang on until I can get in.
I hope that your T can work you in this week and I'm really glad that he's been so good about working with you financially. Please don't be embarrassed about it either. There are a lot of people, especially in the last few years, with financial trouble. Me included. I'm just glad that he's being good about it. (((Hugs)))
I know you're a religious person from earlier posts and this one. I was just going to share a scripture with you that I thought you might like. I don't want to offend you or anything... I hope it doesn't. 2 Corinthians 4:7,8; Psalms 34:18 It always helps me...
Thank you for your encouragement. I had a major trigger (apparently) and meltdown this evening. A neighbor's grandson's pickup was sitting in their driveway (close to my office) in idle mode for the longest time because it's old and lately he has been doing this in order for it to stay on when driving. Trouble is it doesn't have a muffler and droned loudly on and on. He usually races it for a short bit and then is able to take off, although I doubt that can be good for the engine. But tonight it was just sitting there idling and idling. I felt panic rising in me, and I went and screamed into my pillow and cried my eyes out. I don't have a clue what that was about. Been pretty numb for awhile, but I'm coming around now. Sure wish he would get that thing fixed.
I'm sorry that you were triggered tonight. I hope he fixes the truck soon too. Maybe you could try headphones when he does that? I'm not sure what type of work you do at home but if you can use some noise canceling headphones, or even a good pair of ear buds, that will help block out the sound. Listening to music that relaxes you while the truck is running may help.
(((Hugs))) I hope you feel better.
I've been sleeping better the last couple of nights, which is novel and very nice, but I'm afraid that the two large glasses of wine that it takes to make me sleep (along with my med and allergy pills) is a bad thing... I don't normally drink but I'm just glad to have slept more than 3 hrs for the last couple of nights.
My work involves me keeping it fairly quiet around here, so that truck was frustrating me to begin with. Thank you for your suggestions, though.
Do be careful mixing alcohol and meds. Seriously. I've lost more than one family member from stuff like that.
I have a confession, though. Ever since I had those memories come back and I KNOW I must have completely dissociated as a child on multiple occasions, I've been wishing I could just disappear for a break and let someone else have the reins. I still don't think I'm quite that far on that dissociative line where I have that choice, but I really, really wish I could disappear for a breather. Not sure how my work would get done, though....And I've been using sick days this year already, so I don't have much accumulated to take a "real" mini-vacation.
I hope I'm not the only one with those thoughts 'cuz I would feel less looney tunes if others have had similar thoughts.
I just feel too close to the breaking point with my life!

Hundreds of activists and progressive San Franciscans marked the 35th anniversary of the Mayor George Moscone and Sup. Harvey Milk assassinations on Wednesday night in the Castro with fiery speeches urging the crowd to "fight back!" against displacement and gentrification, conjuring the words and spirit of those slain leftist leaders.
"Gotta have hope just to stay alive," the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus sang of Milk and his message on the 35th anniversary of that chorus' first performance, on the steps of City Hall on the day of the tragedy, belting out the refrain, "Gotta give 'em hope."
Despite the onslaught of evictions triggered by real estate speculators and the city's current economic development policies, such as the tens of millions of dollars in tax breaks extended to Twitter alone, the defiant message from this podium did have an undercurrent of hope.
But that hope was predicated on people's willingness to organize and engage in "a fight they started," Tom Temprano, president of the Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club, said of Milk and Moscone, "a fight against gentrification and displacement."
Yet Temprano also said that people have to feel stable and secure to really have hope: "You can't have hope without a roof over your head. You can't have hope without affordable housing. And that's why we're marching today."
Temprano then played an old news clip of Milk talking about his own eviction from the camera store and apartment where he lived on Castro Street, the result of similar economic forces that are overtaking the city today.
Milk explained how San Francisco's economy relies on local residents being able to earn a living wage and not pay too much of their incomes in rents. But when landlords gouge their tenants, they have less to spend in local businesses, "and sooner or later, that's going to crunch the economy locally."
One of the more fiery speeches of the evening came from Brian Basinger of the AIDS Housing Alliance, who used one of Milk's signature lines when he said, "I'm Brian Basinger and I'm here to recruit you. I'm here to recruit you into a movement for housing justice that goes back decades."
He cited the recent successes of that movement, from suing to stop CitiApartments from abusing and exploiting its tenants to stopping the 8 Washington luxury condo project when the voters overwhelmingly defeated Props. B&C this month.
"Housing rights are human rights," Basinger said.
Housing activist Tony Robles, a board member of the Manilatown Heritage Foundation, recalled being a student at Mission High School when the news of the assassinations was announced, an event that profoundly affected him. He said they represented "the spirit of community and the spirit of fighting for what is right."
Robles called out Sup. Scott Wiener, a Milk successor representing the Castro, calling Wiener unworthy of that legacy, citing his legislation allowing more apartments to be converted to condos and with closing the parks at night. "You were no Harvey Milk when you made that move, brother," Robles said, closing with this hope: "Let the poetry of Harvey Milk's struggle live on in the streets of San Francisco."
Wiener and other politicians, including Mayor Ed Lee, Sen. Mark Leno, Board President David Chiu, and state Democratic Party head John Burton, spoke earlier in the day at a City Hall memorial. But they pointedly weren't invited to the more raucous evening event (although Sup. David Campos, whose Assembly race against Chiu the Milk Club has endorsed, did show up to offer his silent support).
"Fuck you, we are staying!" was the message Shannell Williams, a San Francisco native and a rising young activist who came from the Save City College movement, had for the city's landlords and those who say low and middle income earners should just move to Oakland.
She and others recalled the message of love and inclusion that were hallmarks of Milk and Moscone's political philosophy, as well as their belief in building coalitions to defeat powerful economic interests.
Tommi Avicolli Mecca of the SF Housing Rights Committee cited recent successes the movement has had in fighting back against evictions and said, "It's because of the power we have as tenants when we unite and we fight back."
He said that was Milk's central message: "If we unite and fight, we can win." And Mecca said San Francisco "doesn't belong to greedy landlords, it belongs to all of us."
Cleve Jones, an longtime LGBT activist who was an intern for Milk at the time of the assassinations, noted, "There are some who will question our desire to raise political points tonight," recognizing this occasion has usually been a solemn memorial march.
But he said that using this occasion as a vehicle for political organizing is the best way to honor the legacy of Milk and Moscone, who Jones said would be appalled by what's happening in this city. Jones told the story of an aging gay activist who was recently depressed about being displaced from the city, and Jones tried to comfort him by saying, "It's hard to get old in this town and see all the changes."
It didn't help: Days later, Jones said his friend committed suicide by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge.
"It's not rhetoric and it's not hyperbole. This destroys lives," Jones said. It was a message repeated on a large banner carried by those leading the march to City Hall, which read, "Eviction=Death."
The rally was closed out by members of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, who cited a long list of "weird, kooky artistic innovators" from San Francisco's past, and said, "They never could have afforded to live here today."
Then the Sisters offered an invocation they called the "Rosary of Housing Evils," asking the crowd to repeat the mantra "Save us from the speculators" between each of their prayers and observations for the city, which included:
"Harvey Milk was evicted from his home."
"Extend rent control to all residential and commercial units."
"Forty percent of queer seniors cannot afford their rents."
"Rent has risen 21 percent this year."
"We all need to stay together or they'll pick us off one by one."

The Montgomery County Board of Education voted Monday to submit a $2.23 billion budget request to the county executive and the county council for consideration on March 1.
The budget request for fiscal year 2014 represents a 2.6 percent increase over the current year's budget, according to a statement released by Montgomery County Public Schools.
Tuesday night, board members and the school superintendent will join the county executive and five councilmembers at a forum hosted by the Montgomery County Council of Parent-Teacher Associations.
The forum is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the Carver Educational Services Center, 850 Hungerford Drive, Rockville.
County Executive Isiah Leggett, Superintendent Joshua P. Starr and Board of Education President Christopher Barclay will each make brief opening remarks, according to a statement issued by the MCCPTA.
These opening statements will address the county's educational priorities, the achievement gap, new state-mandated curriculum and tests, and the changing demographic demands on the school system.
Audience members will be able to ask questions afterward.

Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins finally found their stride at home.
Crosby and Chris Kunitz each had a goal and two assists, and Pittsburgh picked up its first victory of the season on home ice by beating the New Jersey Devils 5-1 Saturday.
The Penguins used a relentless forecheck to overwhelm New Jersey in the third period, scoring three times on 10 shots while turning a one-goal game into a rout.
"We were skating a lot and I think that was a big part of it – keeping it simple," Crosby said. "As a group, I think we made it easier on each other, not just our line, but as a five-man unit. Our D were retrieving pucks and allowing us to get speed through the neutral zone."
Penguins defenseman Robert Bortuzzo scored his first NHL goal, Brandon Sutter got his first with Pittsburgh and Kris Letang also found the back of the net for the Penguins, who handed the Devils their first loss in regulation this season.
Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 15 shots for the win. Evgeni Malkin and Pascal Dupuis had two assists apiece.
Andy Greene scored a short-handed goal for the Devils (3-1-3), who were seeking their best seven-game start in a decade. Martin Brodeur was sharp through two periods, stopping 17 of 19 shots, but allowed three goals in the third as New Jersey had trouble with the Penguins' aggressive forecheck.
"They pressured us with their speed and made us make mistakes," Brodeur said. "It's not a fun game when you have a lot of breakdowns like that."
After winning 21 of their last 24 games at Consol Energy Center last season, the Penguins had been the only NHL team yet to earn a point at home this year. They were outscored 9-3 in losses to the Toronto Maple Leafs and New York Islanders.
This time, Pittsburgh looked more like the team that shut out the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night as opposed to the sloppy defensive club that showed up during a 4-1 home loss to the Islanders on Tuesday, when Fleury – second in the NHL last season with 24 home wins – was pulled after two periods.
"We wanted to make sure we stayed focused and maybe brought the same attitude we had on the road at home," Crosby said.
Sutter staked the Penguins to a 1-0 lead early in the second period, chipping his own rebound over Brodeur's pads.
It was the seventh time in eight games that Pittsburgh scored first.
Kunitz took advantage of a fortunate bounce to give the Penguins a two-goal lead midway through the period. Devils defenseman Anton Volchenkov whiffed on a breakout attempt in his own zone and the puck slid to Kunitz, who was there to wrist a shot past Brodeur from between the circles.
"We had too many mistakes, the defense as a group," Devils captain Bryce Salvador said. "We have possession of the puck in our zone and we didn't get it out and it turned to scoring opportunities and goals."
The Penguins tried to take a three-goal lead on the power play, but the Devils cut the deficit in half with their NHL-best second short-handed goal of the season. Dainius Zubrus sent a spinning feed along the boards to a streaking Greene in the slot, and he went to the backhand to beat Fleury.
Letang started the third-period outburst less than 3 minutes in, sneaking into the slot to put a shot past Brodeur. Crosby, who has 10 points in his last four games against the Devils, made it 4-1 by finishing a rush down the left-wing boards with a wrist shot.
"It was a 2-1 game at the end of two periods," DeBoer said. "We came out in the third and had a couple good shifts and a couple opportunities to tie it, but it got away from us."
Bortuzzo sealed it with the first goal of his career 2 minutes later, when his shot from the point rolled awkwardly between Brodeur's pads. That sent the sellout crowd at the Consol Energy Center home happy for the first time all season.
"I like that we scored a lot of goals today and came out in the third and got three goals," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. "But the way we got them is more indicative of how we played the game."
NOTES: Penguins LW Zach Boychuk, picked up Thursday off waivers from Carolina, played 12 minutes, most of them alongside Malkin and James Neal. ... First-round draft pick Stefan Matteau was scratched for the Devils, who are deciding whether to return him to junior hockey after playing in five NHL games. ... Devils D Mark Fayne missed the game with an arm injury, while D Ben Lovejoy, C Dustin Jeffrey and C Eric Tangradi were scratched for the Penguins. ... It was the first of three games between the teams in nine days. ... Pittsburgh travels to Washington on Sunday in a game that will be nationally televised on NBC, while New Jersey visits the Islanders.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers threw for 308 yards and two scores, while the Green Bay Packers withstood another 400-yard passing day from Carolina rookie Cam Newton to beat the Panthers 30-23 on Sunday.
A week after throwing for 422 yards, Newton topped himself by throwing for 432 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for a 4-yard touchdown with 37 seconds left to bring Carolina (0-2) within seven, but the Packers (2-0) recovered the onside kick to seal the victory.
Rodgers found Greg Jennings for a 49-yard touchdown early in the third quarter to put the Packers ahead for good. Then, after Clay Matthews stopped Newton on a fourth-down run inside the 5, Rodgers found Jordy Nelson for an 84-yard touchdown to make it a two-possession game and help the Packers hang on.
While Newton had another big yardage day, the Packers' defense came up big by forcing the rookie into three interceptions - two by Charles Woodson. In addition, linebacker Clay Matthews managed to pull down Newton from behind on a fourth-down keeper inside the 5 to end a Panthers drive for the tying touchdown.
Two plays later, Rodgers found Nelson on the left side and the receiver sprinted down the sideline and all the way to the end zone to push the lead to 30-16 with 2:14 left.
Newton couldn't have asked for a better start in his home debut, throwing for a touchdown on his first drive as the Panthers ran out to a 13-0 lead against the defending Super Bowl champions. But Rodgers and the Packers offense - which spent most of the first quarter on the sideline - finally got in rhythm and ran off 23 straight points. Mason Crosby kicked three field goals, while John Kuhn added a goal line plunge for the Packers' first touchdown of the day.

TAVARES, Fla. — Verna Schultz Hines died suddenly Aug. 2, 2013, in Tavares, Fla.
She was born Aug. 19, 1945, in Mt. Sterling, Ky., but considered Danville, Ill., her hometown.
She spent the happiest years of her life with her soul mate and surviving husband, C. Mirl Hines, also from Danville, while living in Mesa, Ariz., then Tavares, Fla.
Verna had many loving friends throughout the U.S. and was passionate about keeping in touch with all of them. Just prior to her death, she was blessed to have the opportunity to visit many of her family and friends while traveling to Danville. Verna treasured the love of family and friends and paid that love forward every day. She had a zest for life that seemed to surround her at all times. Music was her poetry, and dancing was her passion.
Verna collected angel figurines and held a firm belief that she had guardian angels who always kept watch over her and those that she loved. Though her absence is felt in every moment, her family and friends have faith that heaven has a new angel to watch over them and continue to radiate her love back to them.
Verna enjoyed retired life with Mirl after leaving Pringle Development, Tavares, Fla., in 2007. She managed the office of Dr. D. Baker in Logansport, Ind., for many years before moving to Indianapolis, where she worked at Simon Property Group.
Verna is survived by her soul mate and husband, Mirl Hines; daughters, Rachelle "Rikki" Minyard (Tracy Rowell) and Jodi (Mike) Tomey; stepdaughter, Lauren (Jan) Hines-Roselle; grandchildren, Alicia (Gabe) McClain-Ford, Ryan (Kailani) McClain, Charley Tomey and Sam Tomey; step-grandchildren, Richie Roselle and Jesse Roselle; great-grandchild, Jonathan McClain, 4 months, and baby Ford expected to arrive March 2014. She also is survived by her mother, Mildred D. Schultz; and brother, Jim (Jackie) Schultz.

Smart Markets Oakton will be closed Saturday, Nov. 24. Have a great Thanksgiving, and we'll see you next week!
From the Market Master
I love the foods of Thanksgiving and wish that we ate more of them throughout the year. Not necessarily more in volume — who could do that on a regular basis? — but more of the variety of foods that are often shared at the Thanksgiving table.
My family enjoys a large reunion each Thanksgiving, rotating among the few aunts and uncles that are still with us and more often now the cousins and their children. This lends itself to a good turnout each year, even allowing for the rotations with the in-laws that many of the younger married cousins now use to keep the peace.
That usually means anywhere from 35 to 50 people, not including the small children who keep appearing each year. This is a wonderful yearly event for all who attend, but its popularity also means that I, who would gladly cook the entire meal, cannot even host the event. My house is just too small, and only if we were eating outside could we handle half that number.
Which means I miss out on the leftovers, which are for me always the best part because you get to enjoy the things you like the most again and in the peace and quiet of a smaller group. Our family members are all good creative cooks and always bring a wonderful selection of dishes to complement the turkey or turkeys that the host provides. Which makes the loss of the "remains of the day" even harder to deal with. I must admit that I do often come home with the carcass because no one else knows what to do with it, and I'm not telling them either.
I had already planned to write about what to do with those leftovers, basing my thoughts on Mark Bittman's piece for the New York Times Magazine last November, but today The Washington Post printed a similar article. The Post article was somewhat less practical, however, as the recipes either fail to account for the varied ways in which the original dishes may have been prepared, such as the sweet potatoes in the Golden Sweet Potato Mold, or they assume that you have served something that is not served at many Thanksgiving feasts, such as winter squash that would work in Turkey and Squash Ravioli. Bittman instead assumed only that most of us will have turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce, and he provided five simple recipes for each. And they all look good to eat and easy to make. Here is the full article.
Please feel free to use your own imaginations. I hope you don't see this as a daunting challenge but as a regifting opportunity, especially if you are using someone else's leftovers. And don't be afraid to experiment with your own version of turkey soup. You can make a delicious turkey broth by simmering that carcass with onion, carrots, celery, and some herbs for an hour or so, and then you can put together the best soup you will ever eat. Oops! The secret is out, and I may never bring home another carcass.
