The Lansdale Fun A Day art show is not your typical black-tie art gallery affair. In fact, it's held in the upstairs ballroom of a local pub.
"It's better than going to an art museum," Matt Rosenfeld, a Blue Bell resident, said. "This is less formal, more relaxed, and a different crowd of people."
While this was Rosenfeld's first visit to the art show, of the hundreds of visitors that attended this year, many have made it a point to return.
"I think these shows are great, because you get a lot of different artists from different perspectives," Mike Omensetter, of Hatfield, said. "It's not your traditional, mainstream, mass-produced art. It's much more personal with these artists."
Omensetter said that he became passionate on attending local art shows, after his artist friend invited him to see last year's Lansdale Fun A Day.
He said that he appreciates the time in which first-time art show attendees may have with an artist, and enjoys the limitless creativity of the artists.
"The more I come to them, the more I realize the diverse talents of everyone," Omensetter said. "Even though not all I would hang in my house, I can appreciate the time they put in to this."
Art is Fun
Entering the show floor of the Lansdale Fun A Day is not a quiet experience. From the second visitors walked into the Third and Walnut Bar ballroom, located in Lansdale, they were immersed with the sights and sounds of art.
Without the aid of special accentuating lights or blank white walls, familiar in art galleries, artists simply placed or hung their work on tables and retail stands along the perimeter of the ballroom.
The resulting effect for visitors was a personal tour of both art and artists. At the head of the ballroom stood a small stage where musical artists performed for the whole evening.
Each artist participated in the Fun A Day challenge. The challenge was for artists to create art every day in the month of January, after which they would be encouraged to showcase their work — the idea behind the effort being that the artist to have fun.
"It's the product of me not getting sleep," Lansdale Fun A Day artist Kynn Peterkin said, smiling.
He was referring to his pencil, ink and Photoshop drawing of a comically terrifying, one-eyed shark, bursting from the waves to attack unsuspecting beach-goers. The drawing has the title "Wrath of the Sharklops."
Peterkin, as well as other artists, seemed eager to show off and share what it was like to produce art for the Fun A Day challenge.
"It was a lot of fun playing with a lot of mediums," Chelsea Allen, of Worcester, said. As a first-year student at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Allen said she enjoyed the Fun A Day challenge, as it was a departure from regimented and structured art classes.
"This was more freeing," she said.
Fun A Day artist, Bobbi Shaw also took the month-long challenge to experiment with her art. Using her children's used paper, she created homemade paper as a new canvas for her acrylic and water-color paintings.
"It was a pretty fast process," Shaw said. "I loved it."
Grass-Roots Art
Amy Rims, a multi-media artist and former Lansdale resident, started the Lansdale Fun A Day event last year as part of the nationwide Fun A Day challenge.
While there is a Philadelphia-based Fun A Day event (where the art challenge started), Rims wanted to see artists local to the Montgomery County area have their own Fun A Day show.
"I think this was a huge success," Rims said of the 2013 show.
The art show, which took place Feb. 8, hosted more than 15 artists from across the county.
Rims said she believes that both artists and visitors alike show their support of the Lansdale Fun A Day for its easy accessibility to an engaging evening of art.
"It's gratifying that we have a grass-roots effort that brings great art out into the community," said Andy Szekely, mayor of Lansdale and Fun A Day artist.
He added that while the Third and Walnut upstairs ballroom makes for a "beautiful venue," it is unfortunate that Lansdale does not have a proper art center to showcase local talent.
Art in Motion
In addition to celebrating the arts, Rims said that the Fun A Day is also a chance for local artists to network, resulting in more shows and more opportunities for the public to see art.
According to Rims, the 2012 Lansdale Fun A Day produced at least five more art shows last year, due to the initiatives of those artists. She had referred to such shows as "art in motion."
"I have made connections here, more than at any other art show," Kim Saddel, a multi-media artist, said. "Here, we get to pick each others brains. We get to see the mind behind the paintings"
Saddel, of Souderton, is a returning Lansdale Fun A Day artist.
She has participated in several shows, from the Skippack area to smaller shows in Philadelphia, and finds out about these shows through word-of-mouth. She said after last year's Fun A Day, she was able to connect and collaborate with other Fun A Day artists to help produce the subsequent local art shows of the same vein as the Fun A Day.
She said that artists may better appreciate the relaxed atmosphere and interaction with visitors, as candid conversations often lead to better art.
"The feedback is incredible," Saddel said. "They tell you if it's good or not. Then I can do something to improve it."
Other Lansdale Fun A Day artists say they simply like not having to travel far just to show their work.
"You don't see a lot of things that involve art anymore," said Matt Hilend, an illustrator and graphic designer of Audubon. He added that arts and cultural venues mere miles outside of Philadelphia become sparse in the suburbs, and is grateful for opportunities like the Lansdale Fun A Day.
"You have so many talented people here," said Hilend, a 2012 graduate of Hussian School of Art. "And, when you put the framework together for something like this, it's a godsend."
Feeding Artists
The one main feature that both the Lansdale Fun A Day and traditional galleries share is the fact that most showcased artwork was for sale. While most of the participants didn't consider themselves as professional artists, all were delighted and encouraged when visitors would purchase their art.
In addition to individual sales, participating artists also donated their work for a silent and live auction held at the end of the event. Proceeds from the auction went towards funding the intended 2014 Lansdale Fun A Day. Many artists were more than happy to depart with their work for such a cause.
"I would like to thank Amy for the opportunity. It's a great experience," said Scott McMaster, who creates unique birdhouses from gourds.
True to the event's mission of encouraging local artists, McMaster, of Lansdale, was given the opportunity to showcase his artwork for the first time.
As he considers himself a "part-time amateur artist," and full-time environmental sciences student, McMaster said that he didn't quite know how well his artwork would appeal to the public or other artists.
"It's very exciting. When I first walked in, I saw everybody's art, and I thought how great everyone was, and it made me nervous," McMaster said. "But, once people started taking an interest, I felt more confident."
"And, I sold a lot of stuff," he added with a grin.
His sister, McMaster-Heffintrayer, who invited him and another artist to the show, said she hopes the word gets out and even more artists come to next year's Lansdale Fun A Day.
"Our goal every year is to bring another friend, and another, so we can make it an all-day event," she said.

Last week when I was going through this week's program with Vigen Guroian, I was listening to some of the choral music for the first time in two years. Later that evening, I put on an old Cocteau Twins CD, Heaven or Las Vegas (which must have been on my mind since SOF had recently been picked up by KNPR in Las Vegas!), and I was struck how some of the lush harmonies were seemingly reminiscent of some of the Orthodox Russian repertoire, or at least Kitka's Bulgarian folk styling of Nikolai Kedrov's Otche Nash — "The Lord's Prayer" in Russian.
On Being Blog
Obama's statement that "some are to blame, but all are responsible" sounds a bit familiar.
A few days ago, I was an emotional mess. I was touched
at by the compassion and heart-wrenching stories I was reading. I'm the better for reading them. These are the shared stories about Alzheimer's experiences from our radio and online audiences. But, then I'm faced with the question: What do we do with this repository of knowledge, with all these magnificent life stories?
Our first step was to create an interface that provides more context — in this case a dynamic map showcasing these acts of remembering. For this "mash-up" we used Google maps, Flickr images, an internally developed application (thanks Dickens!), and our Web site. We gain a greater sense of these authors and their relation to others geographically, including pull quotes and images and age and religious affiliation. And then you can delve deeper by reading each individual essay and viewing larger images.

@ Leticia - I'm pretty sure the code you got with your CD can only be used once. Just check back with this page later today and there should be another code that you can use for presale tickets. I think it's limited to 4 tickets.

I love back-to-school. I mean I really, really love it.
If my life was a musical, right about this time of year, I'd segue from from "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" to another song I've been humming a little too much lately.
"My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music is one of those classics that most every girl of my generation and before knows pretty well. I have to imagine at one time or another we all sang that song into our hairbrushes in front of the mirror pretending to be Julie Andrews.
Well, now that we get a weekly dose of watching 'real' people break into song mid-everyday moment with "Glee" (today's contemporary television version of life on Broadway-sized steroids), I thought I might inspire some of my Wilton compatriots with a version of "My Favorite Things"—albeit customized to celebrate what waits in store for us now that the kids are headed back to school.
Just sing along to that tune we all know so well, picture yourself in a frock and short cropped hair, somewhere close to the Alps, and follow along. A-one-and-a-two-and...
My Favorite (Back-to-School in Wilton) Things
Smart boards and class lists and who's your kid's teacher?
Oh! I heard that that one can be quite a creature!
What can we expect this coming school year?
I'm hot after all the news, never you fear!
A new assistant principal at Cider Mill,
New seats at Middlebrook right up the hill.
What of the PTA at good ole M-D?
Promises this year to be drama free!
Fresh opened loose leaf snapped into ring binders
Alternate pickup notes—here's your reminder
Bright yellow school buses come up the drive
It's Back to School Monday, so kids, look alive!
When the year starts
Get on Edline
Make sure everything's set.
I simply can't figure out how that site works!
At least the kids can, so don't fret!
Cider Mill starts just so God-awful early
Snooze too much, then you'll rush, get up, let's hurry!
Pack your lunch, grab your stuff, get in the car,
Damn! Missed the bus, have to drive, it's too far…
Back home, the next round begins once again.
Get your gear, all your books, lunch, violin.
Soccer cleats, library books, yessiree.
Wilton kids overload on activities!
When the bell rings,
For the next class,
Check your texts in between
We hear there's a new thing, (shh don't tell your mom!)
On the secret teen party scene!
Football and soccer and our fave, lacrosse
Wahoos and gymnasts with nary a loss,
Hebrew school, CCD, boy scouts and fun
Plus tutoring makes sure that you're number one!
CMT, CAPT and AP
DRP, GPA and SATs
Tenure means nothing compared to these scores
Will the state change that up? Don't know what for?!?
Last year Irene messed up our perfect plans.
One week delay, then the stuff hit the fans.
Kids were home, powerless, no first day glee,
But this year starts on time! It better! For me!
Stressed from driving
And more to-do's
This juggle can get me so mad!
But then I remember, it's back to school—Yeah!
And then I don't feel...so sad!


text: I don't believe in sticking myself into one 'genre' or 'scene'. Music is inspiring and exciting, and I like the stuff that sounds cool and feels good. Producing music is like playing 'Tetris' with little snap shots I've taken from all the years I've been playing and listening to music.

I made twenty of these for gifts - and they look so nice, I'm not sure if I'm going to actually hand them out! For the cooking novice, note that 5/8 Cup = 1/2 Cup plus 2 T.
The taste of this cookie is outstanding, but I only gave 4 stars because of the prep. You really can't mix butter with egg, it curdles. That's just not how cookies are made. I ruined a whole batch the first time. Next time, I layered all the ingredients as stated, except the sugars. I put them in a small zip bag and put them on top of everything. I changed the recipe card so that you cream the butter with the sugar package, then add the egg. Turned out like a normal cookie dough that way. Thanks for the recipe!!
This was my first attempt at making a jar cookie. I just made 16 jars to give as gifts. I did try the recipe out first and it is good. It is a dry dough but bakes up soft. I used semi-sweet chocolate chips instead, I think they made them a bit salty, so I reduced the salt a bit. I wanted my jars to look fuller. So I layered the ingredients this way, bottom to top, brown sugar, white sugar, flour, nuts, chips, berries, oats, flour, soda, salt. Also just a note for anyone planning on making a bunch. 12 jars used: 5 lbs flour, 2 lbs oats, 1.5 pkg of brown sugar (32 oz) and 4 pkg chips (12 oz). I bought the nuts in bulk and bought way too may. Next time I think I will take my measuring cup to the store.

Posted Friday, October 19, 2012 --- 8:40 a.m.
Here is the latest Wisconsin sports news from The Associated Press:
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- James Jones and Randall Cobb are filling in nicely for injured Green Bay Packers receiver Greg Jennings. Jones caught two touchdowns last week in Houston, and Cobb had his first 100-yard receiving game. The Packers face the St. Louis Rams on Sunday.
LA CROSSE, Wis. (AP) -- Michael Conley hit two free throws in the closing seconds last night to give the Memphis Grizzlies a 97-94 preseason win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Beno Udrih missed a three-pointer as time expired for the Bucks. Monta Ellis led Milwaukee in scoring with 20 points.
ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Adam Wainwright pitched seven innings of four-hit ball last night to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to an 8-3 win over the San Francisco Giants in Game 4 of the NL championship series. Matt Holliday, Jon Jay and Yadier Molina had two RBIs apiece for the Cardinals, who lead the series 3-1. Lance Lynn faces Giants lefty Barry Zito tonight in Game 5.
DETROIT (AP) -- Max Scherzer led Detroit to an 8-1 win over the New York Yankees yesterday, sending the Tigers to the World Series for the second time in seven years. Scherzer took a no-hit bid into the sixth inning and finished with 10 strikeouts as the Tigers complete a four-game sweep. Miguel Cabrera, Jhonny Peralta and Austin Jackson all homered for Detroit.

ESAPI 1.4: Security Methods for the Web
The Enterprise Security API (ESAPI), a set of documentation focusing on application software security, has released a new version 1.4. Javadocs were updated and old interfaces were replaced.
ESAPI is a product of the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP). The organization collects expertise on securing web applications, holds conferences and develops tools such as the WebScarab HTTP/S analysis proxy. OWASP members range from small consulting firms and security providers like Symantec to industry giants like IBM and Microsoft.
ESAPI describes methods that a typical web app needs for security. These methods include fixing authentication and protecting against cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (XSRF) and SQL injection. Other methods address failure to restrict URL access, insecure communications and improper error handling. The project publishes a Top 10 list of the most serious web app vulnerabilities.
The ESAPI project recommends that developers shouldn't continue to reinvent the security wheel for each application, but base their efforts on OWASP's expertise gained "over a decade of code review and penetration testing of critical enterprise applications."
The API is virtually independent of operating system and programming language, even though the current reference implementation is written in Java along with its Javadoc. Versions for .NET and PHP are planned.
ESAPI's Java implementation requires Java 1.4.2, but Java 1.6 users can uncomment code to make it work for them. The reference implementation is in binary JAR format for downloading. Developers will then have a forum in the OWASP-ESAPI mailing list.

Molly's Sketchbook: Bobby Pin Butterflies
Around this time of the year I start to crave color like I crave chocolate, potato chips, or coffee! It's supposed to be spring, but outside, it is relentlessly cold, cloudy and gray. So as an offering to the vernal gods, I created these Bobby Pin Butterflies, wearable bursts of color meant to usher in sunnier times!
No creature better manifests pure beauty and color than a butterfly. In fact, a group of butterflies is called a "kaleidoscope"! To bring this particular kaleidoscope to life I used our new Mariposa Felt Bundle. It is everything that spring should be, pretty, cheerful and luminous!
Designed as an adorable hair accessory, these sweeties are also terrific for Easter decorating. Perched around the edge of an Easter basket, on the tips of a forsythia branch, or amidst a beautiful centerpiece, these fluttering little butterflies are a very happy symbol of the season!
And they couldn't be easier to make. Each butterfly comes together with just one stitch, while black bobby pins effortlessly transform into surprisingly perfect butterfly bodies and antennae!

We have a sprinkler system with 7 zones and a programmable timer box. The sprinklers in our "Zone 1" continue to run when the timer switches to "Zone 2" or 3 or any of the other zones. As long as the sprinkler system is running for any zone, the three sprinkler heads in "Zone 1" keep shooting out water too. We just installed a new timer box, thinking that might be the problem (it was acting wonky in other ways as well). The other issues we had with the system were fixed, but not this issue with the "Zone 1" sprinklers not knowing when to stop. Any ideas for us? Many thanks!
wiring to the valve? I'd start with a 12 or 24 volt bulb wired in parallel with the zone 1 valve. if it stays on all the time anything is being watered, there is a system wiring error in the field, perhaps the valve bein in series with a common wire. otherwise, the valve needs replacement, it's sticking.
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
you have a wiring clitch. gotta have.
sprinkler zone valves are a single valve that is 24 volts. with a wire going back to the zone valve timer box. if 2 are coming on at the same time. and shutting off at the same time. when you replaced the timer control
you hooked it up the same way you found it. so the
problem is the same
dig up the wires at the timer control area. and Physically trace the wires to the timmer.
your going to find two wires hooked together.
altho i usually agree with my buddy swschrad, i have to disagree about a bad valve
if a bad valve the water would stay on..because it is shutting off.. the problem is in the control wiring
in my humble opinionThis message has been edited. Last edited by: Frodo,

TD-SCDMA Test
TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access) is a Chinese-developed 3G standard that has been adopted by ITU and by 3GPP as one of the worldwide 3G standards. It is a time division duplex (TDD) standard. This ability to transmit and receive on the same frequency makes TD-SCDMA well suited for data-intensive applications such as mobile internet access and multimedia services.
Agilent has been involved in the China TD-SCDMA indoor trials and field trials, providing products and test solutions covering all areas from component and sub-systems design, to handset and base station equipment manufacturing and network deployment.

Updated 10:39 p.m.
An initial, but unofficial, count of the votes in the Cobb County SPLOST referendum show the residents in favor of it by a vote of 21,525 to 21,446. But the 79-vote difference raises the question of whether a recount might be in order.
But into the night, Cobb County officials didn't have answers about recounts of the paper absentee ballots and recanvasses of the electronic votes.
The "current goal is getting an accurate count of the votes cast," county spokesman Robert Quigley said in an e-mail at 9:50 p.m. "We will focus on the next steps once we complete the task at hand."
Quigley said the elections board's attorney should be able to provide answers Wednesday about what happens next.
Cobb County voters on Tuesday cast their ballots in a referendum that would have extended the current Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax for another four years.
An estimated 10 percent of registered Cobb voters were to have cast ballots in the referendum, which would extend the existing single-penny sales tax for an additional four years, through the end of 2015. The tax would collect $492 million to pay for transportation, facilities, public safety and parks and recreational improvements.
Marietta Patch will report the final results, including precinct-by-precinct breakdowns, as soon as the votes are reported by the Cobb Board of Elections.
Cobb County SPLOST Referendum Results153 of 153 precincts reporting Yes No Should Cobb County collect a 1 percent SPLOST for capital projects from Jan. 1, 2012, to Dec. 31, 2015? 21,525 21,446 Percentage 50.09% 49.91%
Unofficial results from the Cobb County Board of Elections & Registration as of 10:39 p.m.

Learn how to make this easy pillowcase dress. It looks adorable with any fabrics.
Home décor pillows featuring your own digital images are an easy project that can add a unique, one-of-a-kind touch to your home décor as well as being a great personalized gift.
Print your selected photos on pre-made photo fabric according to the manufacturer's direction. To add a personalized touch, you might consider adding digital elements and text to your photo before printing. Keep in mind that ink jet ink is not water safe so unless your photo fabric has a protective element added, you may want to seal the printed fabric with a sealer.
Trim the photo so that you have a 1/4" border on each side. To make it easy to fold the fabric, place a ruler along the edge with 1/4" allowance. Use an embossing stylus to score the fabric next to the ruler. The stylus will help create a fold line that will help you create a smooth and even fold.
Turn the photo over and fold the photo edges back along the fold lines. Pin the folds in place or glue them in place using a fabric safe adhesive like Therm O Web's Super Stick.
Cut the fabric for the pillow front. If you are using a prepared pillow insert, add 1 inch to the pillow size on each side for your fabric measurement. For example, I used a 12" x 12" pillow form so my fabric was 13" x 13".
Place the prepared fabric photo on the center front of the pillow panel. Pin the photo in place or secure with fabric adhesive.
Sew the fabric photo to the pillow front about 1/8" from the photo edge. If your photo has several colors around the edge, it will not be possible to match your thread. A simple solution is to sew using a neutral thread color like white and then coloring the white thread with markers. If you anticipate the pillow cover being washed in the future, choose a laundry safe ink or tread the ink with a sealer.
A simple way to embellish your pillow design is to appliqués. Wool felt is great choice for appliqués because it won't fray when handled. To create a personalized appliqué, start by tracing a desired shape or design directly onto the felt.
If your pillow is a gift or perhaps a photo of a child, consider including the child in the process by allowing the child to write something on the traced shape. Pencil will mark the fabric well enough for it to be seen for stitching without leaving a dark mark that will remain like a marker would.
Use an embroidery needle and floss to stitch over the pencil marks.
Pin or adhere the appliqué to the pillow front with fabric adhesive. Sew around the appliqué about 1/8" from the edge.
Cut the fabric for the pillow back. The fabric should be the same width as the pillow front. Add 2" to the length. For example, for my front is 13" x 13" and my back is 13" x 15".
Next, cut the piece in half lengthwise. Using my pillow as an example, I ended up with two pieces 13" wide by 7 1/2" tall.
Fold one edge 1/2" from the edge on the long side of the two fabrics. Again, using my pillow as an example, after folding one edge of each of the two pieces, you would have two pieces 13" wide by 7" tall.
Top stitch the fold edge of the two pieces about 1/4" from the folded edge.
Place the pillow front (the one with the photo) face up on your work surface. Place one of the two back pieces, right side facing down on the pillow front, matching the top corners of each. The folded and sewn edge should be in the center of the pillow.
Place the remaining back piece, right side facing down on the pillow front, matching the bottom corners. The second back piece should overlap the first back piece through the center of the pillow. The folded and sewn edge should be in the center of the pillow.
Pin the pieces together and sew 1/2" from the edge.
Trim the corners of the pillow, taking care to not cut through the stitching.
Turn the sewn pillow cover right side out. Slip the prepared pillow form inside the cover through the opening in the back of the cover.
The finished personalized pillow can make a great gift. In addition to embellishing the pillow with appliqués, you could also adhere ribbon, flowers, or buttons to the front just like you might embellish a scrapbook page or photo frame.

If you're looking for a good book, you may find one on a neighborhood corner. A nonprofit putting free books in front yards is making its mark in Oregon.
Little Free Libraries started more than three years ago. There are more than 2,000 worldwide with more than 30 of the locations in Oregon and more than 40 in Washington State.
The newest Oregon location will be at Lake Oswego Playschool by next month. The 3 and 4-year-old students are painting a large wooden box designed to look just like their school.
It will be filled with books and mounted on a post in the front yard. Readers are invited to borrow a book or take one and replace it with a new one.
"It's really up to the user," explains project organizer Teri Patapoff. "I think as the books are borrowed and read they'll be replaced with new ones."
At two other Lake Oswego locations there are little free libraries with books for adults.
The organizers don't worry about theft and a website takes them through the whole process, including making a template to identify books.
"If a book goes missing, we just hope the person enjoys it as much as the previous reader," remarked Patapoff.

A Pierce County jury Friday convicted two teenagers of multiple counts of armed robbery for holding up Tacoma trick-or-treaters last Halloween.
Zyion Houston-Sconiers, 18, and Treson Roberts, 17, face decades in prison when sentenced Sept. 13.
Jurors found Houston-Sconiers guilty of six counts of first-degree robbery and one count each of second-degree assault, conspiracy to commit robbery and unlawful possession of a firearm.
They also found he used a firearm in eight of the crimes, which would substantially increase his prison time. Each firearm sentencing enhancement would add five years to whatever prison term he receives for the underlying crime.
The jury found Roberts guilty of four counts of robbery and one count each of second-degree assault, conspiracy to commit robbery and unlawful possession of a firearm. Jurors found he used a firearm in six of the crimes.
Defense attorneys are likely to argue that some of the counts should be merged under the legal theory of "same criminal conduct," which might result in the firearm sentencing enhancements being reduced.
Jurors got the case Thursday after a six-week trial and delivered their verdict about 4 p.m. at the County-City Building in downtown Tacoma.
Prosecutors alleged Houston-Sconiers and Roberts were among a group of teens who used a .22-caliber pistol to rob four groups of trick-or-treaters during a 78-minute span Oct. 31, 2012. The robberies netted candy, a devil mask and a cellphone, according to court records.
The defendants denied wrongdoing ,and their lawyers argued a police search that collected evidence used against them was unconstitutional. Superior Court Judge John Hickman allowed the evidence into the trial.
Houston-Sconiers was 17 at the time of his arrest and Roberts 16, but prosecutors decided to try them as adults.

All of this was better the next couple of nights. I had a very stressful day yesterday and I didn't get any sleep last night. The twitching started again. I also had it happen when I was sitting in my chair watching TV. I feel like I'm going crazy or something. Guess I gotta stay off some of those meds. My sister tried Amytriptylene one time and she had some serious side effects too. She advised that I keep off that pill. Hope tomorrow will be better.
A good site for info on RLS. Hope this helps some. Good luck. Doreen
It seems to be when his breathing pattern has a pause in it for a few seconds, and then when he begins to breath again, his entire body jerks, making the entire bed twitch.
He will not get this checked out, but I think he should. He is not on any medication, apx. twenty pounds overweight, and quit smoking in Feb. this year.
Any ideas appreciated. I will pass them on to my hubby.
If it's a matter of convincing your DH to see someone, you might try placing a sound recorder next to the bed (or even a video camera if you've got the technology) and have it record a night or two of sleep, and show him the results. He might not realize how bad it is. Or, alternately, you might even realize it's not as bad as you think. It's hard for me to recommend /not/ seeing a physician, though. A bunch of us yahoos online can't really know what's going on with him.
I hope this is helpful information, though. At least you're investigating!
Now to convince him to see our Dr.

Ada —
The Pontotoc County commissioners accepted the resignation of a trustee from the Pontotoc County Public Facilities Authority Trust and also approved of his replacement during a brief regular Monday meeting of the commission court.
As a result of the vote, the commission accepted the resignation of Steve Turner, who resigned at East Central University to accept the position of president at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah.
Replacing him on the Pontotoc County Public Facilities Authority on an interim basis is expected to be former county commissioner, Winford Wood, though no action was taken Monday.
The commission also took no action on getting the courthouse roof inspected, but did approve an interlocal agreement between Pontotoc County and the city of for oiling and chipping Seabrook Road, the costs of which are being absorbed by the Chickasaw Nation.
For the third week in a row, the commission tabled a decision on a District 3 purchase of a 2010 or newer backhoe for District 3, at the request of District 3 Commissioner, Justin Roberts.
Otherwise, the commission went over its usual lists of items without making any changes.

West Line
By Gail Lyon
• West Line Christian Church Womens Retreat was June 8. There were about 56 women from all over that attended. For those that had been there when Tiffany Miller was with Color of Mercy, it was thrilling to get to see her and hear her sing again. She sang some of the songs that she wrote when she was with COM. Some of the men cooked and served lunch to all the ladies.
• VBS is coming to West Line in July. We are looking for helpers.
• June 8, my grandkids, Nathan, Abby and Emma Lyon came over to spend the night with me. We went to church June 9. They went swimming in Uncle Chucks pool. Then their dad came over. I took Nathan to his baseball practice while his dad did some things for me. After practice, I went to Tims house. Then Nathan, Emma and I went to Papa Murphys and got pizza and we watched a movie and then I went home. What a great weekend.
• Happy Birthday: Marcia Arnett, Shelia Hinchcliffe, Steve Mincks 18th.
• Happy Anniversary: Ron and Lois Fort 19th.

Dear Editor:
Dr. Ken Mitchell, superintendent of schools of South Orangetown School District, Rockland County, gave a clear, well-documented and compelling presentation of his CRREO (Center for Research, Regional Education and Outreach) report to a largely already convinced audience at SUNY New Paltz on Jan. 30.
The crowd was already convinced because it was filled with people who are educators, people in the "business" (pardon the expression) of educating our population -- superintendents, principals, teachers, students, parents, school board members.
The federal initiative, Race to the Top, a continuation of the No Child Left Behind boondoggle and the latest iteration of RTTT, the Annual Professional Performance Review, was the subject of the presentation.
Mitchell's concern was the cost to districts, lack of evidence that it will work, and the mandated "rushing" of this legislation. All this is impacting our already over-burdened school budgets, our over-the-top stress level of educators, and of course, the students.
If one looks at the history of Race to the Top, No Child Left Behind, and the APPR, we see that it was conceived by CEOs of our corporate world, governors, and legislators, those who were missing at Mitchell's talk. Educators were left out of the original discussion and the legislation.
We have learned so much about how children learn, and had been, before this legislation, implementing real sound, Piaget-based learning models, such as hands-on science and math, real literature, real writing, real use of oral language by students. The test-driven model of rank and sort, competition, district vs. district and teacher training, which is only about using test-prep materials and improving scores, has effectively taken the joy, the spirit, the lifelong love of learning and the success out of the American public educational system.
Google" CRREO for Mitchell's report. It gives the cost and impact analysis of why this is a very, very bad idea.

So who do the Vikings have behind Percy Harvin and Michael Jenkins? Let's get to know Jarius Wright and Greg Childs
Harvin back at practice for the Vikes. Situation resolved?
Percy Harvin attempted to clarify things this evening, and may have just made things murkier.
A Viking has finally made an appearance on the NFL Network's Top 100 list.
The drama continues, as Percy Harvin was not at the Vikings' afternoon mini-camp practice.
More information has come out that makes it less likely that Percy Harvin won't be holding out or getting traded.
Yes, Percy Harvin has caused a stir. In the end, however, he's going to remain with Minnesota.
Getting to the crux of the issue in the Percy Harvin trade demand
We break down the news that Percy Harvin has asked the Vikings for a trade.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSMarshall Players' Helmets To Feature Special Tribute To Plane Crash Victims
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported by: Jeff Morris
Web Producer: Jeff Morris
Reported: Nov. 11, 2013 4:34 PM EST
Updated: Nov. 11, 2013 4:42 PM EST
Huntington , Cabell County , West Virginia
Marshall University players are going on the road against Tulsa for a night game on Thursday, the anniversary of a plane crash that killed 75 players, coaches and staffers.
But they will make sure those who lost there are not forgotten.
Herd players will have the usual "block M" on the right side of their helmets, but the customary "M" on the left side of their helmet will be replaced by a green "75" decal to honor the victims of the crash, according to a story on herdzone.com.
This is first time Marshall has played a football game on the road on the anniversary date since the Nov. 14, 1970, plane crash.
Athletic Director Mike Hamrick said the special tribute on the players' helmets is "the right thing to do."
"The nation is certainly familiar with our Marshall story, the tragic crash, the loss of life. It's a large part of our fabric," Hamrick said. "We will never forget those 75 players, coaches, staffers and devoted supporters at Marshall, but we wanted to remind as many people everywhere we could of the roots of the emotion and devotion with which our student athletes compete."
While players will be making the special tribute, an annual tradition will continue earlier in the day back in Huntington. The Memorial Fountain will be turned off for the winter, as is tradition, and the campus will pause for a moment of silence to remember those who perished in the crash.

Students and faculty at the Marine Academy of Technology and Environmental Sciences in Manahawkin and Jackson Memorial High School were grieving this morning after learning of the loss of two friends and classmates.
The girls, identified as 17-year-old MATES student Jaime Nicholson and her 15-year-old sister Francesca, died in a crash on South Hope Chapel Road in Jackson yesterday.
Both girls were in the color guard of the Jackson Memorial High School Band.
A person who knows the girls well, but did not wish to be identified, recalled the sisters as "full of life."
"Jaime was the captain of the color guard, and she made everyone laugh. She would always be silly with the girls and make them smile," the person told Patch, through tears.
Jackson Memorial's band has performed at several high-profile events, including Philadelphia's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The band is also scheduled to perform in the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, Calif., on New Year's Day.
On their website this morning, Jackson Memorial administration posted the following: "Members of the Jackson School District's crisis response team will be available beginning Wednesday for students and staff in response to the death of a Jackson Memorial High School student and a Jackson Memorial High School student who attends MATES in a car accident Tuesday night.
Any parent, guardian or student who would like assistance from a member of the district's crisis team is welcome and encouraged to call the Guidance Office at Jackson Memorial High School at 732-833-4626."
A spokeswoman for the Jackson School District, Allison Erwin, told Patch that the "district is laser-focused on identifying students that need help," this morning. She said efforts include having guidance staff on hand for students, as well as shadowing the girls' schedules to identify those students in the classroom who may need help.
"This is an incredibly painful and stressful time for everyone at Memorial," Erwin said. "I was over [at the school] this morning, and the mood is somber."
MATES is one of the career academies administered by the Ocean County Vocational Technical School District. MATES students typically concentrate in the areas of math, science, and technology. Erwin explained that students have to apply to enroll in MATES, and upon acceptance, could still participate in extracurricular activities in their home school district.
In a statement released to Patch, Principal Alison Carroll wrote: "The death of our student Jaime Nicholson is a horrible tragedy. We have grief counseling available on site for our students and staff as we deal with this devastating loss."
In a statement Jackson police said that the accident occurred around 5:17 p.m. Upon police arrival, they found a two-car crash involving a 2001 Mazda minivan, driven by Thomas Migliaccio, 47, of Toms River, and a 1987 Mercedes Benz 190, driven by Jaime Nicholson.
An investigation revealed that Nicholson was traveling in a northerly direction on South Hope Chapel Road, lost control of the vehicle, crossing the center line of the roadway, impacting the Mazda, which was traveling in a southerly direction.
Police noted at this time, "wet roads and excessive speed for the roadway conditions are being investigated as contributing circumstances to the crash."
Police Officer Patrick Mackin of the Jackson Police Department Traffic Safety Bureau, assisted by the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office and the Ocean County Sheriff's Department Criminalistics Investigation Unit, are investigating.
Migliaccio sustained minor injuries from the crash and was transported to Kimball Medical Center by the Jackson First Aid Squad.

"Energy and persistence conquer all things." - Benjamin Franklin
71 Wins And Counting
Great news!
FairTaxers in Kentucky's 4th district are celebrating their
Congressman becoming the 71st co-sponsor of the FairTax legislation. Congressman Thomas Massie signed
onto HR 25 this week due to relentless communications from FairTax supporters
and we thank him for listening to his constituents.
Congressman, welcome to the solution to our tax code and the
out of control IRS.
But this was the second 'win' for the FairTax campaign just
this week!
The first was during a meeting with Congressman Dave Camp,
Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means. A FairTax supporter handed him a
copy of a Washington
Examiner op-ed written by Cindy Canevaro, Executive Director of
The Congressman looked at the article then said, "Yes, I've
seen this."
We're getting through to him!
There are many reasons the FairTax may be on Congressman
Camp's mind. It might be the FairTax billboards in his district, thousands of
contacts his office has had with FairTaxers, or even the comments on his
committee's page. All are signs the FairTax campaign is alive and well - and
demanding Congress pay attention.
All this happened because
FairTax supporters insisted their voice be heard.
However, the most impressive public activism might be the Committee on Ways and Means'
Facebook page, where you'll see person after person entreating the
Committee and Chairman Camp to support the FairTax legislation. In fact, FairTaxers
make up the majority of comments on the page!
Here are some examples of comments posted in the last week:
Tony Leach: Want to pass a tax reform plan that would 'SOLVE' American
issues and empower the people to live their lives as they choose while still
funding the government? Then pass The FairTax and do it right. But politics
trumps what's right and that is why government is the sorry sack it is...but
America keeps voting for it so you keep playing politics.
Richard Arnold: I hope you're explaining the FairTax
bills to these folks and how you are going to pass them in Congress. http://www.fairtax.org/
Francine Stirling: FairTax.org, what is your
problem. The law is ready to go. Give it a fair shake and watch people jump on
the wagon. NO IRS. That is what we all want.
Dennis Martin: Ask them how replacing the income tax
code with a national retail sales tax would benefit them...it's called the
FairTax and you're sitting on the legislation that would spur job growth,
domestic manufacturing, and capital infusion into our economy.
Glenn J. Shapiro: Do not attempt to "reform"
the tax code. Scrap it and REPLACE it with the Fair Tax. Why is that not even
Scott David Murphy: Here is an idea, why don't you
scrape our current system and go with a FairTax.org?
Richard Wettermann: I've been advocating the FairTax
for over 10 years now. I have yet to see a better solution. It will
revolutionize our country and economy for the next 100 years with unprecedented
growth and prosperity.
John Pierce: The FairTax, already researched. Stop
wasting time, get this bill out on the floor and you will see the overwhelming
support from we the voter and taxpayer.
Thelma Wright: The
FairTax bills, H.R25 & S.122, are already in congress and has 70
co-sponsors. The bill takes away all the decision-making that politicians
appear to do. Come on politicians and do the correct thing. Stand up for the
American People. They need jobs and the Job Producers need the FAIRTAX.
Have you
joined these Americans who are publically demanding that their Washington
representatives support the FairTax like these FairTaxers?
Look up your Representative's contact information, find
their Facebook page and show up at their town hall meetings. Give them no rest.
As Cindy
said last week, "If your representative(s) gives you bloated, canned-ham
responses or dismisses your concerns, then you have a job to do — find a new
representative who understands and respects the will of the people."
The 71 cosponsors
of HR 25 are a great start, but we have many more victories to come.
It will
take you and the people you tell about the FairTax legislation to convince the
rest of Congress that we must be heard.
As Ray
Batts posted on the Committee on Ways and Means page, "FairTax now.
FairTax tomorrow. FairTax forever."

The FairTax Act In The Media
Replace the IRS with the Fair Tax – Washington Examiner
…Congress has a choice. They have before them "The FairTax
Act of 2013."
They can continue allowing the IRS to threaten, harass and
destroy individuals and organizations, or they can implement a comprehensive
tax replacement plan that returns our nation's system of taxation to what our
founding fathers originally envisioned. They can enact the FairTax Plan.
Your senators and representatives are supposed to represent
the will of the people who elected them. Make sure that you communicate to all
your elected officials exactly where you stand on tax reform…
Support the FairTax – Reedsburg
Help us eliminate the IRS by passing the FairTax. Recent
positive developments for the FairTax include: all of Alaska's and all of
Kansas' federal legislators have signed on as co-sponsors of The FairTax Act of
2013. The House bill is H. R. 25 while the Senate bill is S. 122. Rep.
Bridenstine (R-OK) recently held a town hall meeting where 1,300 FairTax
supporters rallied for his speech on tax reform. South Carolina hopes to pass
Bill 3116, a state FairTax Act. NC state senator Bob Rucho said, "We'll go to
zero with the income tax."

A 2009 bill that froze property tax assessments in Georgia has expired, but area residents shouldn't expect a shock when assessment notices arrive soon in the mail.
Because of the sluggish housing market, property values -- and property tax assessments -- are flat in Northwest Georgia, appraisers say.
"For most people, it will remain about the same," Catoosa County Chief Assessor Dale McCurdy said, referring to property assessments that his office plans to send in mid-June to owners of Catoosa's about 28,000 tax parcels.
The Walker County Tax Assessor's Office plans to send out assessment notices by mid-June to roughly 34,000 parcel owners.
"We do have some areas where the values are dropping a little bit," Chief Appraiser Terry Gilreath said. "There's other areas that are doing really well."
"Overall, we're just really holding our own," Gilreath said.
To appraise property values, McCurdy and Gilreath monitor things such as home sales and foreclosures.
"It's a little bit of an art and probably more of a science," McCurdy said.
Gilreath said, "It's all dictated by state law. We don't make this stuff up."
Whitfield County expects to send out notices by mid-June to about 40,000 property owners.
"I don't think there'll be any significant changes," Chief Appraiser Trammell Suddeth said.
Dade County already has sent out notices to owners of its 9,800 parcels.
"Our values have held pretty steady," Chief Appraiser Paula Duvall said.
Property owners have 45 days to appeal their assessments.
"Last year, we sent out 34,000 notices and 650 appealed," Gilreath said, which is an appeal rate just under 2 percent.
Catoosa typically gets 200 to 400 appeals, McCurdy said, or under 1.4 percent. Dade had 350 to 400 appeals last year, Duvall said, about a 4 percent appeal rate. Whitfield had about 800 appeals last year, Suddeth said, or a 2 percent appeal rate.

If you have a hot date or an important business meeting later on, this dish is best avoided. If, however, your calendar is free for the rest of the day, then Camembert and roasted garlic is a most pleasurable snack. Serve with chutney or relish and a glass of red wine.
2 bulbs garlic, unpeeled with the tops sliced off
40g/1½oz butter
80ml/3fl oz extra-virgin olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 squidge of honey
2 fresh rosemary sprigs
3 bay leaves
200-250g/7-9oz Camembert, plastic wrapping and lid removed but still in its wooden box, at room temperature
1 French baguette, ripped into 10cm/4in pieces and sliced horizontally
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
Place the garlic cut-side down in a large roasting tin. Add the butter, oil, a pinch of salt, a couple of twists of black pepper, the honey, rosemary and bay leaves and bake in the oven for 40–45 minutes. After 30–35 minutes put a large cross in the top of the Camembert and add it to the oven. Add the French baguette to warm it up too.
Once the garlic is soft, the bread is extra crunchy and the cheese is all soft and gooey, remove from the oven.
Serve everything on a big sharing plate. Break off a piece of crusty bread, squeeze out the tender flesh of the garlic along with a healthy dose of cheese and smear it liberally over the bread.

Unknown Primary
*Links on this page will take you to content on the cancer.net website. Links will open in a new window.
Cancer begins when normal cells begin to change and grow uncontrollably, forming a mass called a tumor. A tumor can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous, meaning it can spread to other parts of the body).
Cancer is a group of more than 100 different diseases. In most people with cancer, it is easy for doctors to identify the primary site (where the cancer began), and the secondary or metastatic site (if the cancer has spread and where). No matter where the cancer spreads to, the cancer is still described by the primary site. For example, breast cancer that has spread to the brain is called metastatic breast cancer, not brain cancer.
In less than 5% of all people diagnosed with cancer, the cancer is found at a metastatic (secondary) site but routine testing cannot locate the site where the cancer began. These cancers are called carcinoma of unknown primary site or cancer of unknown primary (CUP). In some people, specialized testing can identify the primary site; however, in many cases, it cannot. This may be because the primary tumor remains very small, the body is able to cause the primary tumor to shrink or disappear, and/or the primary tumor was removed during previous surgery for another condition, such as the removal of a mole on the skin or a hysterectomy (surgery to remove a woman's uterus).

CUP accounts for approximately 2% to 5% of cancers diagnosed in the United States each year. The average age of a person diagnosed with this type of cancer is about 60, and CUP is slightly more common in men than in women.
People with CUP are a diverse group, and prognosis (chance of recovery) varies widely. Often, treatments are limited for people whose cancer is widespread at the time of diagnosis. However, others have a cancer that can be successfully treated; for some, curative therapy is available. These differences and survival rates are discussed in the Treatment section.
Cancer survival statistics should be interpreted with caution. Estimates are based on data from thousands of cases of this type of cancer in the United States each year, but the actual risk for a particular individual may differ. It is not possible to tell a person how long he or she will live with CUP.

HAVERHILL — A man who was pinned under a large tree branch in a North Avenue yard Monday afternoon is dead, but authorities yesterday declined to release his name.
Investigators did give out some information about the man, who was working for a tree removal company when he was killed. He was 32 years old and lived in Hampton, N.H., said Carrie Kimball-Monahan, spokeswoman for the district attorney's office.
She said it appears the man was working on a branch of the tree when he fell to the ground and the branch landed on him. He was taken to Lawrence General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, she said.
The investigation into the accident is continuing, Kimball-Monahan said.
Witnesses said the man suffered severe injuries to his legs.
The accident happened in the yard of a home at 133 North Ave. The man was taken to Lawrence General Hospital's trauma center shortly after 2 p.m.
Witnesses said a large tree, which recently was damaged in a storm, was being removed by Plante's Tree Removal Takedown company. A truck bearing the company name was at the scene.
When contacted by The Eagle-Tribune, Eileen Woelfel, who owns the house at 133 North Ave. with her husband, Brian Woelfel, said, "We hired someone to take the tree down. I don't want to talk about it."
Part of the large tree in the Woelfels' front yard crashed onto power lines and snapped a utility pole on Oct. 29 during Hurricane Sandy. When the pole fell, its electrical transformer landed in the street and exploded, Brian Woelfel said at that time. The electrical service was ripped from the Woelfels' house as well as three others.
After Monday's accident, police blocked off North Avenue between Marsh Avenue and Sagamore Place and surrounded the area with "crime scene'' tape. A chain saw was on the ground near the fallen tree.
