NewsMarlboro College Welcomes Three to Staff
MARLBORO, VT Marlboro College recently welcomed Rebecca Bartlett as the new bookstore manager, James Fein as assistant library director, and Sherry Adams as meal checker.
Bartlett is a 1979 alumna of Marlboro College who focused her undergraduate studies on the "History of American Public Education." She worked in Brattleboro-area schools -- including Brattleboro Union High School -- for several years before changing fields. She worked at the Book Cellar in Brattleboro from 1988 to 1992, then went on to be the office manager at the Northeast Recycling Council for eight years. Bartlett also spent 14 years on the board of the Friends of Music in Guilford, a volunteer organization.
Fein received his B.A. in Russian and in East European studies from San Diego State University. Before pursuing his master's degree in library science at Rutgers University, he worked as a flight attendant for Pan Am, worked in the transportation field with UPS, and then became a transportation manager for the scrap metal recycling industry. Most recently, Fein served as a librarian at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. He was attracted to the educational philosophy of Marlboro College, and jumped at the opportunity when the assistant director position became open.
A mother of two and grandmother of one, Adams has served as president of Whitingham's Ladies Benevolent Society for more than ten years. Founded in 1858, the Society is the oldest consecutively run organization in Whitingham. It holds raffles, suppers, and tag sales in order to raise money for the needy. Adams' commitment to community involvement fits in well at Marlboro College, where she works in the dining hall, helping to provide meals to Marlboro's students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
Marlboro College is a learning community unlike any other in the country. Located on a beautiful 350-acre rural campus in southern Vermont, Marlboro offers its 300 undergraduate students an 7:1 student/faculty ratio and a strong foundation in the liberal arts. In addition, The Persons School of Marlboro College in downtown Brattleboro offers master's degree programs in Internet strategy management, Internet engineering, and teaching with the Internet. For more information on the college, please call (802) 257-4333.

Can't-lose argument There was no shortage of Hispanic-American speakers at the Republican and Democratic national conventions. This is not surprising, given that Hispanics represent one of the fastest-growing blocks of voters in the country. However, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, the chairman of the Democratic convention, sneered at the Hispanic presence at the GOP gathering. "You can't just trot out a brown face or a Spanish surname and expect people are going to vote for your party or your candidate," he said at a news-media availability. Yet a lack of Hispanic speakers would have had Mayor Villaraigosa and other Democrats claiming Republicans don't reach out to Hispanics or take their concerns seriously. Talk about damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't.

End of the autumn Syksyn loppu
Viime viikolla satoi ensilumi, joka onneksi on jo melkein sulanut. Nämä kuvat on otettu tänään ja avoimella paikalla missä morsinko ja väritatar (morsinkojen taustalla kuvassa) kasvoivat lunta on vielä, mutta puiden alla varjopuutarhassa lumet ovat sulaneet. Kevät ei tunnu niin kaukaiselta kun katselee pionien nousevia piippoja:)
Last week we got the first snow this year, but most of the snow has now melted. These photos were taken today, and in the open field where woad and japanese indogo grew (in the background of the woad) there is still some snow, but in my woodland bed the snow has melted. Spring doesn't seem so far away when I look at the peonys coming up from the ground:)

are you also having a mild and late fall? i picked a dandelion today. shocking!

Hi, yes, last winter was cold and long, and now this fall is warm and late, more to what I like:) No dandelions here but my snowdrops are also peaking from the ground and some of my hellebores have big flower buds:)

Lovely pictures. Does the woad and Japanese indigo grow there naturally, or did you plant them? Woad grows wild in my state, but further east.
- December 17, 2011 at 6:44 PM
- Leena said...
No, neither one grows naturally here, and japanese indigo is an annual here. Woad may over winter if the place is right but in my garden more than half of my woad plants have always died during the winter (but that's ok, because the first year leaves give the best blue anyway). There are couple of places near the coast where woad grows naturally and I think they are protected there.
- December 17, 2011 at 6:52 PM
- MM said...
Interesting. I've read woad is considered a weed in parts of the US, including some parts of my state of Oregon, where it grows so well it crowds out the grasses used for cattle feed. I've not seen it growing wild locally, though, or maybe just haven't identified it. I've thought of trying to grow some but want to be sure it's not prohibited :-)

"I think of Texas, I think of football. And I know the best are gonna be going to Texas and I want to go there."
How about next week?
Zack Flores was invited to USA Football's Under-17 National Development Program. It's in Austin, and it's by invite only for the top athletes in the country.
"A lot of competition, a lot of different people are gonna be there," says the junior tackle at Caruthers High. "But we're all gonna be there for the same reason, to represent our town, our high school, our coaches well. We're all gonna be playing at a high level."
And USA Football is paying for the expenses.
This won't be the first football camp Zack Flores will attend this offseason. He's already been to San Jose State and Chabot, and he plans on going to Sacramento.
Also, he went to a camp in Hayward in March, which is how he got noticed for the U-17 national team.
"When I get there in football mode, I call it football mode, I don't see myself as a selfish person," smiles Flores. "But I'm there to make myself better so I can bring that to Caruthers."
'So you're a wanted commodity.'
'How does that make you feel?'
"It makes me feel pretty excited."
Also, confident.
Flores gets to suit up in full pads, meaning he gets to hit people. He'll also be learning from high school, college and NFL personnel.
"It's gonna make me a lot better, I can feel it's gonna make me a lot better," he says.

"Raef Badawi has been sentenced to seven years in jail and 600 lashes," lawyer Waleed Abualkhair wrote on his Twitter account, adding that the judge ordered the closure of the website of the Saudi Liberal Network.
He said Badawi, a co-founder of the Saudi Liberal Network, was charged with criticising the religious police, as well as calling for "religious liberalisation".
A judge had referred Badawi in December to a higher court for alleged apostasy, a charge that could lead to the death penalty in the ultra-conservative kingdom.
The judge said at the time that his lower court was not qualified to deal with the case.
But the charge of apostasy was dropped on Monday, activists said.

4441 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA | Directions 9002734.097612 -118.285990
Open 4p-1a daily
Lunch served Sat &Sun 11a-4p
Neighborhoods: Los Feliz, Central LA
Long-running happy hour and an outdoor patio makes this a must for warm weather nights.
The kind of fun atmosphere you would want from a Mexican restaurant with a casual and unpretentious setting. Good place to meet friends before getting your drink on.
Great place for your maragrita fix! They come in basically every flavor/color of the rainbow!
Kinda divey, super chill vibe with awesome decorations inside. I don't consider this place the best Mexican food in LA, but I love coming here to get a beer, order some child's and eat some chips and salsa.
I love it when they have pea soup here as an intro to your meal- which will surely be enjoyable with a couple margaritas. The green corn tamales are my consistent favorite here.
Citysearch Editorial Review – Divey, dimly lit, subterranean and plastered with tacky-traditional Mexican decor. Yep, this is old-school Mexican dining at its finest. Under new management as of late 2009, El Chavo has kept its kitchy charm with the neon sombreros and piñatas hanging from the ceiling, and larger-than-life portrait of dame Dolly Parton beaming down from the wall. On the opposite side of the stairs, however, El Chavito lounge has taken up residence. With leather banquettes and wrought-iron electric candelabras, the vibe is sexy and sleek, unlike the festive main dining area. The menu remains the same, with gut-busting, ranch-style Mexican dishes that haven't changed much since 1966. In addition to standard tacos, enchiladas and tostadas, you'll find traditional fare like ropa viega (shredded beef), mole chicken and carne asada. The best bet is the green corn tamales, which taste a bit like sweet corn bread stuffed with cheese and peppers and the margaritas, which are deceptively potent concoctions. Smokers can take advantage of the patio out front.
Best place ever, better then Disneyland! – I love EL CHAVO, movie stars like Dolly Parton roll up to EL CHAVO, never complaining, about anything, just saying what a wonderfull place its been, for more then 40 years. Thats one of the reasons I go. Food and drinks are always great and the staff, is the best. Great managment and owners. Thank you. El Chavo, for still being around!
The best Mexican food around – What a great place, was here last night, beautiful. Im not from this country but wow, i felt at home, great service great food. Bartenders where great with the drinks, everything tasted supper. I would highlly recommend to anyone.
Manager Called Police. – Chips were stale. Margs were poor. Salad was terrible. We asked politely to speak to the manager. He was a rude idiot. Refused to knock ANYTHING off the bill and called the police. We walked out and he followed us back to our car. If he had taken $10 of the bill, we'd have been happy, but he got nothing. The place will close within a year and that's a shame, because I've been there 50+ times and always liked it .... until last night.
EL CHAVO WTF HAPPEN>> ?!? I LOVE IT..!! – Got to give it up for El Chavo, still the best place in town. If you want to bring a date, nice and dark, very romantic. Super cheap, with 3 dollar margaritas. 3 dollar tacos, way better then the tacos at Yuca's. Best mexican food over all. The restaurant has been there for over 40 years. Obviously there doing something right. Give El Chavo a try you wount be disappointed. Ive been going to El Chavo, for over 20 years. The guy's that work there make you feel like family.. Got to love that..
El Chavo - WTF happened?! – Sheesh! I go away for a while and they totally ruin the place. I was a loyal patron for years, enjoying many dates and drinks at El Chavo before heading to the legendary Tiki Ti next door. Never ever again.
Dropped in Friday at 6:30, had a margarita/rocks with the Señor combo... one of the WORST meals I've ever had. I guess they bring the tongue-scorching dip and chips first so you can't taste anything else. Add a stale, toxic margarita from Chemlab 101 and you're ready for your Superfund cleanup. Dinner had all the flavor of scorched microwaved maxi-pads; even the Spanish rice hurt. The only recognizable item was the chile relleno, marked only by its grease. Jarring acoustics, awful drinks and a charred tongue... El Chavo's NOT for dates, unless you're a sadist or breaking up. Instant headache.
The new owner also "created" the Edendale Grill on Rowena, whose sole contribution to local culture is a serious traffic hazard due to its valet parking kiosk on a blind curve (!). Now he's gutted El Chavo, ruined the menu and SUCKED ALL THE FUN OUT. Cheap metal chairs scraping on a cement floor, crappy dance muzak and stark bare walls does NOT equal "atmosphere". Every group at every table was straining to hear over the echoing sludge of the dining room. Get a clue: dining out should be comfortable. If diners can't even hear their date, you've screwed up the ambience big time. And if you gut the entire place to its bare ceiling ducts (too much HGTV, eh?), please put in some acoustic panels or booths to soak up the noise. At least hang up some serapes, for chrissakes.
The worst? Mr Edendale took down El Chavo's giant glowing blood-red Aztec warrior icon which covered the entire back wall, shrunk him down and hid him in the corner next to a hideous cantina bar thing. What a travesty. In the past, his fearsome visage weeded out Westside yuppies and neurotic vegans, and he was a true compadre after many margarita marathons. Alas, said the raven...
For those of us fleeing the house/DJ/karaoke hell of Acapulco's, El Chavo is a pathetic shell of its former glory, another disaster from the "restaurateur" crowd destroying this city's cafes like George W. Bushes of cuisine. Now we're left with a noisy, stinking cavern with all the charm of a Nogales bus depot cafeteria during a brownout. Two regular couples I know came in and walked out while I was waiting for my menu... that was an omen.
My advice? Get tacos at Yuca's, drop in at El Chavo to check out the bar, then WALK RIGHT OUT. Head to the Tiki Ti for drinks. Don't give these clods ANY of your money. But if you like chemical-tasting drinks, searing mouth pain and over-priced mexi-food resembling scorched snot, head to El Chavo. There'll be plenty of room, because it SUX.
As William Hurt's character says in A History of Violence, "HOW DO YOU F*CK THAT UP?!" How, indeed? Some L.A. treasures need to be left alone, dammit. Walking outside with mouth charred and nerves shot, I was gonna call on the Aztec lords of the underworld to put a curse on El Chavo. But there's no point — the new owner already beat them to it.
Best mexican food around...!!!!! – I just started going to this new place and WOW, amazing!!! From the moment you arrive there to the moment you leave, I was treated like royalty. Got to say the staff there takes care of there guest. I also heared that Dolly visits the place. I am very impress the drinks were great and so was the food. I definetly recommend this place to everyone..
There's also happy hour on the Chavito side from 7-9pm $3 Margaritas and $3 all well drinks.... With live DJ Sundays and Monday's Yummy...!!!
el chavo has a new sister and brother.... – El Chavo's been around for a while... for good reason! They specialize in some amazing traditional Mexican food. My favs are the complimentary soup, arroz con pollo, green corn tamales and the Don Julio Margarita. I hear there going to start having a El Chavo Taco Cart outside for lunch starting in June. There's also a pretty cool lounge next door (Chavito) and a new Inn upstairs on the 2nd floor.... gotta love it! I noticed some of the old artwork is adorning the walls as well... Looking good!!!
ding dong the mean old man is gone! – Thank god that old mean owner is gone, he was so abusive and would throw people out. Now the new owner has cleaned the place up, kept the same employees, the food is amazing and the new Inn upstairs is incredible. I know in cleaning it up, some of the old charm has been taken away, but honestly all they need to do is dim the lights and you have the same atmosphere... it's so much better now and the food is some of the best mexican food I've ever eaten. Beware of the hot salsa, if your a wimp like me, ask for the mild stuff.... I love this place and so glad it's still around and improved. The new owner deserves an award for all the amazing changes that have been made. I'm a fan!!!!!

Valparaiso Announces 2009 Volleyball Slate
Related Links
Friday, May 29, 2009
Coming off of a seventh straight 20-win campaign, Valparaiso volleyball head coach Carin Avery announced today the squad's schedule for the 2009 campaign, which features 11 matches at the Athletics-Recreation Center.
The Crusaders kick off the 2009 season on August 28 as they face Colorado at a tournament hosted by Florida. Valpo will also take on UNLV in Gainesville before moving on the next weekend to the Drake Invitational, where it will match up with Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, South Dakota and Centenary in addition to the host Bulldogs.
The second weekend of September brings a challenging test for the Crusaders as they travel to Carbondale, Ill. to compete in the Saluki Invitational. The tournament kicks off with Murray State, which advanced to the Ohio Valley conference championship match last season, and continues with UAB, which won 27 matches out of Conference USA and earned an at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament, advancing to the second round. Valpo will also take on host Southern Illinois.
The Horizon League double round-robin slate kicks off for Valparaiso September 18 as the Crusaders play at Youngstown State. After facing the Penguins, Valpo heads further east to play a pair of matches at Pittsburgh, taking on the host Panthers as well as Maryland Eastern Shore, which won 25 matches and went undefeated in MEAC play last season.
Play at home at the ARC, where the Crusaders have won 83.3% (65-13) of the time in Avery's seven years, begins September 25 against Wright State, kicking off a string of five straight home matches. Interspersed throughout the league double round-robin schedule are non-league tilts at home against Indiana State, Oakland and Chicago State and a road match at IUPUI.
The final home weekend of the season will be November 6-7, when the Crusaders host league foes UIC and Loyola, while the final match of the year at the ARC will be November 10 against Chicago State. The league slate concludes November 14 at Green Bay, with the Horizon League Championships being contested the next weekend. One last regular season contest looms November 28 at Western Michigan, where the Crusaders went and swept the Broncos immediately preceding WMU's Sweet 16 run last season.
Valparaiso enters the 2009 campaign coming off of a 25-7 season in 2008, the program's seventh consecutive slate with at least 20 victories.

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 910XT Monitors:
I use the 910XT every day when I run, bike, swim, or commute on my bicycle to work. I like how it easily connects to the Garmin Connect site to log everything and how it is simple to use with a Cadence/Speed Sensor on the bicycle. I use a different bicycle for commuting to work and I can specify this in the bicycle settings, so that is nice. I don't really see a viable alternative for a triathlete to use for training. This is clearly

Comments about DHC Q10 Moisture Care Liquid Foundation:
I was worried when I ordered this that it might not be the right color for my skin. But I found that it covers well, using just a small amount and it seems to blend to your own skin color. I have only used it for a week and I am very pleased with it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Nice Coverage!
By jackielach48
from Providence, RI
Nice finish, not too matte but does not look as luminous or oily as some foundations. Staying power is really good. Not drying on mature skin nor is it oily for acne-prone skin. 4 stars only because there isn't enough colors to choose from. Ocher 3 is too dark for my skin tone and Ocher 2 is not dark enough to cover my broken capillaries as well as Ocher 3 does. I have light/medium skin tone because of the broken capillaries. But, I am really light skin tone. Need more colors to choose from to get perfection! Worth the money regardless because the product is very good!
the ideal natural-looking foundation
By Aunt Dusty
from Syracuse, New York
For several years I have been blending 2 DHC colors (natural ochre 01+02) in varying percents (depending on time of year) to get precisely my skin color after trying dozens of other expensive brands over decades of makeup use. This is by far the most natural, best covering, healthiest foundation I have found. The dispenser design allows for perfect hygenic use.
The perfect foundation!
By Wendy
from Westport, Ct.
I've been searching for a foundation that gives great coverage without looking "cakey" or settling into fines kines. I have very dry skin so it's been hard to find the right product. DHC's Moisture Care Liquid Foundation is the perfect product! It gives me good coverage, it isn't drying so it doesn't settle into fine lines on my face and it goes on very smoothly. I just love it!
Science to back up claims
By Sweet
from Savannah
I researched Q10 after trying a sample of this to see if the additional cost was really worth it. It is. I liked it better than a top rated drugstore brand I use that is about half the price. This blends much better, matches my skin and has a very natural finish. I used it over my usual moisturizer and didn't need very much concealer at all. I have a lot of uneven, blotchy, red and dark areas and this just smooths it all and covers all. I can't believe I am going to pay this now, but I really love it.
Best Coverage Foundation Out There
By LaurenA6881
from Chicago, IL
I borrowed my roommates foundation once, and since then I have used three bottles. This foundation is the most amazing product I've ever used. It lasts all day, and my skin looks flawless. I've never been this thrilled about a make up product. Trust me, if you use this, you won't go back.
Almost Perfect!
By Lisa
from Orlando FL
I mix this makeup with another one I have and it's a perfect blend and doesn't seem as greasy.
Almost perfect!
By Sooz the Artist
from St.Augustine Fl.
A love the coverage and the smoothness of the application. One uses very little to get full coverage. I would prefer it to be slightly warmer in color. But a little blush resolves that.
Q10 Foundation
By Goodewitch
from Earth
I'm not a big foundation user; I prefer sunscreen.But I bike all year and this winter (New England)has been brutal. I started using Q10 Moisture Care Liquid Foundation for my many outside hours. Then I found myself putting some on for a special night out. Hmmm
It's perfect .

I have oily skin could never find anything to cover my flaws but this does I really like the coverage it's smooth a little goes a long way oh I'm African American color 3 try it you love it.

U.S. Under-19 WNT Notes - Philips Lighting Invitational
Apr 6, 2004
The U.S. Under-19 Women's National Team kicks off the first major domestic competition in its short history today, when the young U.S. women take on Holland in the second match of the unique doubleheader at the beautiful U.S. Soccer National Training Center at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. The round-robin competition will feature three match days - April 6, 8 and 10 - as the USA squares off against Asia's top two U-19 teams as well as the always competitive Dutch. The U.S. team, under head coach Mark Krikorian, is preparing for the CONCACAF U-19 Women's Qualifying Tournament that will be held in Ottawa and Montreal, Canada, from May 28-June 6, 2004. The top two finishers at that tournament qualify for the 2nd FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship to be held in Thailand from November 10-27, 2004.
The U.S. squad features four members of the 2002 U-19 World Championship Team that are still age-eligible for the 2004 team in forwards Kerri Hanks (Allen, Texas) and Angie Woznuk (University of Portland), defender Rachel Buehler (Stanford University) and goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris (Satellite Beach, Fla.). Several other key players are emerging for the USA including a trio of college freshman on the back line. U-19 co-captain Becky Sauerbrunn was the ACC Freshman of the year, while Jen Buczkowski started 23 of 24 games for Notre Dame and scored four goals with six assists out of the midfield. Stephanie Lopez also proved to be one of the top freshman in the nation, starting all 23 games for Portland. The USA set a grand attacking tradition at the 2002 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship, but the 2004 version has some talent on that end of the field as well. In addition to Hanks, who has scored 11 goals in her 21 U-19 internationals, and the wonderfully skillful Woznuk, who has three goals in 14 U-19 caps, speedy forward Sheree Gray (World Class) is emerging as a force. High school senior Megan Rapinoe (Elk Grove United) is the USA's leading scorer in all matches this year and has shown a knack for scoring spectacular goals. In goal, the USA has one of the top young goalkeepers in the world in Ashlyn Harris, the youngest member of the 2002 team who played spectacularly in the Final as a 16-year-old. The high school senior has been capped 24 times at the U-19 level and was recently named the Gatorade National Girl's High School Player of the Year.
Click here for the USA's full tournament roster.
U.S. Soccer will award trophies to the Top Goal Scorer in this tournament, the Best Player and an overall Team Fair Play Award, as well as the trophy to champions based on points. Matches that are tied at the end of regulation will end in draws and if teams are tied on points at the end of the tournament, they will be broken as follows, 1) result of the match between the two tied teams, 2) best goals for, 3) best goal difference. Each team will be allowed five substitutions per match.
All the players in this tournament were born on or after Jan. 1, 1985, the cut off date to compete in the 2004 FIFA U-19 World Championship, the second-ever FIFA sanctioned world championship for youth women. The first competition, held in 2002, was a rousing success. The USA won the historic tournament, defeating Canada, 1-0, in the championship match in front of almost 50,000 fans in Edmonton as captain Lindsay Tarpley scored the "golden goal" to stun the home team. Four players from that world championship team are currently in Residency Camp at the HDC with full U.S. Women's National Team trying to earn a place on the 2004 Olympic Team. Those players are Tarpley (who has seven goals this year for the full team), and midfielders Leslie Osborne and Lori Chalupny, and forward Heather O'Reilly, who is still age-eligible for the current U-19s.
U.S. forward Angela Woznuk has had a busy few days. She played several spring matches with her University of Portland college team last weekend in Southern California, flew back to Portland to take a final exam, then flew back to Los Angeles this morning and will be available to play tonight against Holland.
The U.S. U-19s, which most recently defeated two college teams at a training camp in Los Angeles earlier in March, has played two international matches so far this year, losing and tying the full Mexican Women's National Team, who would go on to qualify for the 2004 Olympics, during a tour of Mexico in February of this year. These are the first international matches

AUSTIN -- The Texas House returned with heavy eyelids Monday morning for a final vote on sweeping new abortion laws.
"The standards that are proposed brings abortion providers, physicians and facilities up to the standard that is commonplace throughout the rest of medicine," state Rep. Greg Bonnen (R-Friendswood), a Houston-area neurologist, told members before the vote to send Senate Bill 5 back to the upper chamber.
The night before saw hundreds of abortion rights supporters pack the Texas Capitol. The debate ran over controversial abortion legislation lasted from Sunday evening until 3:30 a.m. Monday, with House Democrats using their smaller number to delay a vote they argue would make safe abortions for many women nearly impossible.
The House finally adjourned around 4:30 a.m. after tentatively approving SB 5, as well as legislation to fund roads and address sentencing requirements for 17-year-old capital offenders. Lawmakers returned after 6:00 a.m. absent a quorum, with most of the House Democratic Caucus returning several hours later. The final vote shortly after 10:00 a.m. was largely divided along party lines.
"Unfortunately the kind of legislation that just passed the house is the kind of thing that takes us back, the kind of thing that restricts access" state Rep. Donna Howard (D-Austin) said after Monday morning's vote. "And the unfortunate outcome of that is that in desperate situations, women seek unsafe abortions, and we actually see greater incidences of severe illness and sometimes death."
"This bill passing to me just a milestone in our state," said state Rep. Jodie Laubenberg (R-Parker), who led the legislation's defense Sunday night. Laubenberg and other supporters maintain more restrictive facilities requirements for abortion clinics, regulations for physicians and restrictions on abortions performed after 20 weeks aren't about banning abortion in Texas.
"It is about women's health. Those parts of the bill were about women's health. The 20-week ban is truly about the pain of a five-month-old baby going through an abortion," said Laubenberg, confident the legislation will be approved in the state Senate before the special session ends Tuesday night at midnight. "I expect the bill to pass. I expect to be at the governor's signing of the bill."
Now the focus turns to the state Senate, where Democrats hope to filibuster the legislation up to the deadline. Republicans Monday aimed to suspend the rules requiring the bill lay out for 24 hours after returning from the House with amendments before it can be voted on. To do so would require a vote of two-thirds of the members present, otherwise the bill could be taken up no sooner than 11:00 a.m. Tuesday.
State Sen. Eddie Lucio, Jr. (D-Brownsville) voted for SB 5 on its original passage through the Senate, and was initially expected to vote with Senate Republicans to suspend the rules. State Sen. Leticia Van de Putte (D-San Antonio) had returned to her district to attend funeral services for her father, who passed away Friday after a car accident.
Van de Putte's absence along with Lucio's support would give Republicans the votes necessary to suspend the rules, but Lucio voted with fellow Democrats against a motion to do so Monday evening. The 19-11 vote fell short of what was needed to suspend the rules, but Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst (R-Texas) announced such a motion could be made again at any point.

How many people in the house.
Size of unit that is in question.
Is there a recomended maximum time between regens when clear water iron is present? I have 20gpg hardness with 2ppm iron.
How many people in the house.
Size of unit that is in question.
If it is a control working with a day clock, going every x number of days, and using 60 gallons per person per day.
I would set the unit at every 6 days, if you are using 9-12lbs per cleaning.
If you have it at 6-8lbs, then every 4 days.
That is what I would be setting one of my customers at. If it was running on gallons, then 800gallons.
If it is a flow based control with a max days between recharges, then should I let the flow control trigger the regen with no max days between recharges?
In other words, is it better to have a maximum number of days between recharges enabled when clear water iron is present to prevent possible long term fouling of the resin?
What control are we working with?
What brand is this unit?
How many bathrooms and any large tubs or two person showers or any body sprays?
Click Here to learn how to correctly size or program a water softener.
CAUTION, as of Nov 12 2013 all YouTube videos showing how to rebuild a Clack valve have an error in them that can cause damage.
That or how many are Teenagers.
Over the long run you are right, the 1.5 cubic has lower salt usage and will do a better flow rate.
it's an ecowater control.
currently using 70-100 gallons per day and recharging appoximatly every 8-9 days. We are well within the SFR for this unit.
With 2ppm iron should I be using the calendar override to force a recharge sooner to help preserve the life of the resin from excessive iron oxidization?
I intend to run a resin cleaning 2-3 times a year.
If you set the day override for 8 or 9 days, and still have the meter counting to take over if you have a larger number of people in the house, that should work.
What is the water temp coming out of the well and into the house?

Additional tickets to the 2013 Presidential Inauguration Parade went on sale Wednesday, the Presidential Inaugural Committee announced.
The tickets are for bleacher seats along the parade route close to the White House, according to a news release from the committee.
A limit of six tickets per person are available online HERE at a cost of $44 each. Tickets are limited, and will be distributed on a first come, first-serve basis.
If you go, expect to see thousands of spectators lining the parade route as President Obama and Vice President Biden are escorted from the Capitol to the White House.
Music, cultural and community groups will join representatives from the Armed Forces in the parade, which concludes at the presidential reviewing stand in front of the White House, where the President and Vice President will watch the parade with their families.
Tickets are not required to view the parade, but the purchase of tickets will allow spectators access to seated bleachers along the parade route.
For the latest information on the 2013 Presidential Inauguration, see the Kingstowne Patch 2013 Presidential Inauguration Guide.

Right but those costumes, by your own admission, were NOT formally approved by the RL for a high profile event. This is a serious offense. We were invited to this too, it was not just a 501st invite and LFL should have never seen those costumes before they were approved by the RL. When you wear a Rebel costume, you represent the RL and since you are already members, you should have known better. The CO should have collected pics of those who wanted to go on the RL side and sent them to our SWIC contact(posted in Base Command) in advance. There are failures on both sides with this event it seems.

My apologies for that forsure. I have owned the costume for so long I just forgot to submit it for formal approval, and thought it was approved until I check a little eariler today. I am not sure what needs to be done now... But if I need to be dismissed from the Rebel Legion. So be it. I feel that liann and I were not given all the information and should be given the benefit of the doubt. 501 should not be in trouble either (they did not know our costume approval statuses) since they were only trying to help out their fellow rl friends... We do not have the largest group here and were just trying to get more members out to the event.

I can appreciate the mistake and like I said, there are some issues in Base Command that need to be addressed as well. Sorry that this base did not do this event the way all the other ones have. Please submit your costumes when you can so we can get them added to your profile. No need to remove you or pursue anything further other than to learn from this experience. You are right, you did not know how this was supposed to be handled either. I hope you do recruit more members in your area

i must apologize, i too have had my costume so long that i'd forgotten that i had not sent it in for approval yet, if i'd realized i would have just worn one of my approved outfits, i wasn't intentionally disregarding the rebel legion rules.

regarding the submitting of the costumes i did send all of my photos myself, as at the time no one else seemed to be attending, to the organizer and as i never heard back from them, the 501st member who was in contact with the organizer was kind enought to speak with her about my involvement

Again, thank you Liann for your apology. I realize it wasn't intentional and we can just say that the rules for this were not posted correctly(the RL standards matter always and just for reference, you can refer to Article VIII of the Charter). I did not mean to sound harsh but we have had issues like this with high profile events crop up all over the RL so just know that it is not just your base that is having issues. Liann, I KNOW you have a few more costume than are listed in your profile as well
It would be helpful if you submit those at your earliest convenience so we can get them added on there.

The way that I read that is that even if a costume is RL approved, if LFL relations doesn't like it, you can't wear it.
I think the main thing here is that people need to be checking the boards regularly and if there is anything that is unclear, to ask someone in Command. If the CO doesnt know that someone is having trouble, they can't help.

he said, she said, 3P0 said...it was a good time. I went as 501st b/c I feel like a member of Slayer when I'm in Quinlan. I was really happy to see Jason, Sheena, and other RL members there and in full costume. To bad for the miscommunication, I really enjoy events when both the RL and 501st have a presence.

I agree
It`s too bad the thread had to go this way, when all Jay was trying to do was say how great the concert was and congratulate on a good event. It dosen`t matter if it was official, unofficial, who volunteered or who paid to go. I think that people need to put childish differences aside and just enjoy what we do and remember why we do it.
On the other hand, this is the most action these boards have seen in a long time

Thank you all for your support and concern on these things. I've spoken with Legion Command about this matter and they consider it closed and all parties educated.
With that in mind however going forward there will be a few changes to certain things here within the base. I have already contacted our XO and BRO and once I hear back from them I will be making a Base address. My hope is that once these items are developed or put in place we as a base and as an active member in RL as well as a sister group to the 501 will not only be able to provide more members to events but have a little more active participation in our forums as well as more members submitting more costumes. But much of this depends on the members of the base.
Thank you.

Steve Reinemund at Redeemer - A CEO's Views on a Life in Business
by Jennifer K Chan
Last summer, Steve Reinemund, got a surprise phone call from the CEO of Coca Cola thanking him for an enormous favor. But Reinemund, at the time the CEO of Pepsi Co., had no idea what that favor had been.
It turns out an unsuspecting Pepsi Co. administrative assistant received a package in the mail containing confidential Coca Cola documents. In keeping with Pepsi's commitment to high ethical standards, the employee notified the appropriate company manger and the entire contents were immediately returned to Coke's headquarters in Atlanta. Only two Pepsi employees were directly involved, and they both knew what they had to do right away. No executives at Pepsi so much as glanced at the secrets contained within that envelope.
Steve Reinemund recounted this story to a rapt group of 250 in February as an example of the type of integrity he believes is –"within the very DNA"of Pepsi's corporate character.
Jointly hosted by Redeemer's Financial Services and Marketing & Advertising Groups, the event addressed on the role of business in society. "Businesses are arguably the most powerful institutions in the world today. The global reach of small and large companies in terms of their economic power and cultural impact is unparalleled. But towards what end?" asked Katherine Leary, Director of the Center for Faith and Work, in her opening remarks.
Steve Reinemund's position is that the corporation has a responsibility to both generate profits and address social issues. Companies certainly need to be successful in order to provide meaningful employment—and anything beneficial beyond that. But to remain successful in the future, social responsibility must guide all corporate decisions. "Your generation wants more out of work than a paycheck," Steve argued, "More so than ever before, people want to work for successful companies who are also doing the right thing socially and environmentally."
Reinemund also offered more personal advice for Christians called into the business world. Revisiting and articulating our own stories can help strengthen and clarify the direction God is leading us in our careers and in service to the wider world. In Reinemund's story, his mother's faithful resilience after his father's death when he was six years old remains powerfully influential. Her faith shaped his relationship with God, which is now the compass, the "true north", by which he operates.
Perhaps the best advice Steve offered to Christians in business was a reminder to stick to the basics. Reinemund emphasizes the necessity of daily prayer and actual memorization of God's word. He and a friend are memorizing the book of James at the moment. Reinemund also recommends the disciplines of self-examination and regular review of one's definition of success. A final imperative is a strong relationship with one's "circuit breaker", that person who tells you what you don't want to hear, when you don't want to hear it. Reinemund's wife has played that role for him throughout his career, and was instrumental in his decision to step down as Pepsi's CEO last year in large part so he could be more than just a part-time dad to his 13-year-old twins.
Reinemund encouraged the audience to view business as a noble calling that can be used by God for the benefit of society. In his reflections of PepsiCo's environmental initiatives, Reinemund illustrated the potential of business to address the world's ills. He believes there remains a largely untapped potential in partnerships between businesses, government and non-profit organizations.
The remaining challenge is one of good leadership. Reinemund reminded the audience that even the Great Wall of China could not hold back invaders, though not for any deficiency in length, height or strength of the wall itself. The fatal flaw lay in the character of the wall's gatekeepers. Therefore, the question is this: What character will the gatekeepers of our corporations demonstrate in our time?
This is the type of discussion that Redeemer, largely through the ministry of the Center for Faith and Work, encourages it's congregation to grapple with. In fact, one of the cornerstones of Redeemer's vision is to support New Yorkers in assuming leadership roles in the church and in other cultural institutions. As Christians are transformed by the gospel, they have the responsibility and privilege to help shape the surrounding culture, in the arts, in education, and of course, in business. If, indeed, businesses have become the dominant players in society, questions of character, of transformation and leadership are worth struggling over with ongoing thoughtfulness and courage.

MARQUETTE - Eight people were arrested for trespassing Wednesday evening when they refused to leave the governor's district office in Marquette, according to Michigan State Police.
Ten protesters had entered the Northern Michigan Office at 3 p.m., requesting to speak with the governor's representative. They met with the office director who answered their questions and informed them the office closes at 5 p.m., said troopers.
After the office closed, the protesters were asked to leave or be arrested for trespassing. Two individuals left.
The remaining eight were arrested without incident for trespassing on state property.
They were later released on personal recognizance bonds and are scheduled to appear for arraignments in Marquette County District Court on Monday.

The Death of the A1c Test Results - Coming Soon Average Blood GlucosePosted: Saturday, June 30, 2007
After the first of the year, the A1c results will probably get reported to patients as an average blood glucose. Will this will help the 75% of diabetics who don't know what an A1c test is? It might just make it even more confusing for the patient.
The preliminary results from an international study showing the relationship between hemoglobin A1c levels and average blood glucose levels, were reported yesterday at the American Diabetes Association's 67th Annual Scientific Sessions. Should the final results of the study replicate the early findings, doctors will likely report A1C test results in new average glucose (AG) units, so that patients will better understand the results of A1C testing.
In a 10-center study to try to define, as accurately as possible, the relationship between average blood glucose levels and A1C. The study has recruited almost 650 of its goal of 700 volunteers (300 type 1, 300 type 2, and 100 without diabetes) of various races and ethnicities. The study involves measuring their A1Cs in a central laboratory (in the Netherlands and using the new reference standard) monthly for 4 months, and measuring average glucose levels using a combination of continuous glucose monitoring and frequent finger-stick glucose levels equivalent to SMBG. "By comparing the measurement of A1C with the average glucose levels, we can derive an equation so that A1C levels can be interpreted accurately as an average glucose level or AG." said Dr. Nathan. No longer will a 6% be equal to 135mg/dl. Results from the study will give us new numbers and a formula to calculate the Average Blood Glucose.
"The reporting of A1C -- using that name -- in percentage units, such as a goal of under 7 percent, has always presented problems in doctor-patient communications," said David Nathan, MD, Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, in a recent interview. "Yet this is the single most important assay in diabetes today because it assesses both chronic glucose control and risk for complications." He spoke at a symposium entitled, "Can 'Average Blood Glucose' Replace the A1C?"
The introduction of a new A1C calibration methodology by international authorities presented an opportunity to demonstrate that an A1C test result truly represents the average blood glucose value over the preceding few months. The International A1C-AG Study carefully compared A1C results to thousands of blood glucose values measured in each volunteer over a four-month period. "The ability of physicians to report A1C results to patients in the same units that they are using for self-monitoring -- so that they are using the same language to communicate glucose goals -- will certainly advance patient education," said Dr. Nathan.
The numbers people see when they test their blood sugars with a blood glucose monitor is a reading in milligrams per milliliter. So a reading after meal might be 125mg/dl. In contrast, A1C testing is a measure of glucose control over the prior few (2-3) months. The test is designed to measure the amount of glucose that has attached to a portion of the hemoglobin molecule in the blood. The assay is standardized on a reference method that takes into account a mixture of molecules. It is reported as the percent of hemoglobin molecules that has glucose attached.
With the introduction of the new reference method, an international consortium of investigators decided that it was an appropriate time to confirm that the A1C test truly does indicate the average blood glucose over time. Moreover, should the relationship be true, the investigators, under the auspices of the American Diabetes Association (ADA), European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), and International Diabetes Federation (IDF), believe that a more easily interpretable A1C value for health care practitioners, and their patients, would be to express the test results as the "average glucose," and in units comparable to those obtained from self-monitoring.
The study is scheduled for completion by September 2007, with a final report to be presented at the annual EASD meeting in Amsterdam that same month.
By agreement between the IFCC and the ADA, EASD, and IDF, a plan is underway for the A1C tests to be reported in various ways:

Mad Cow disease could affect mad money of California dairy industry

Mad Cow disease was recently discovered in a California dairy cow.
Only the fourth cow ever diagnosed with Mad Cow disease in the United States unfortunately turned up in California. The BSE-afflicted bovine was, however, a dairy cow, not a beast destined for the barbecue grill. You can't get Mad Cow, or the human version in any case, from drinking the milk of a Mad Cow. Consuming beef poses some risk, more so if that meat has come into contact with the really dangerous stuff, such as the mad brain, mad spine, or mad digestive tract.
Despite the assumed safety of Mad Cow milk (which would be exceptionally rare no matter what), this discovery is bound to do some damage to the California dairy industry. Which, as you may not know, is HUGE.
How huge?
This huge (data are from the California Milk Advisory Board):
• California has been the nation's leading dairy state since 1993, when it surpassed Wisconsin in milk production. California is ranked first in the U.S. in the production of total milk, butter, ice cream, yogurt, nonfat dry milk, and whey protein concentrate. California is second in cheese production.

What color pays better homage to chic winter fashion than white? The holiday season is largely observed as a religious occasion around the globe, so white seems an obvious choice. So unless you're headed for anywhere that will involve peanut butter smears or Sharpie inkblots, wearing holiday white dresses is a daring-yet-demure fashion choice, outdated Labor Day fashion debates notwithstanding.
To avoid ending up looking like Anne Hathaway's Snow Queen (unless it's your intended holiday costume), pair your white garment with other colors. (No head-to-toe white, please!)
Make sure to choose the fabric wisely. Stay away from light fabrics like linen to avoid looking prematurely summery.
We've selected 5 holiday white dresses on a budget from Shopbop's sale section. Feel free to layer these with your favorite outerwear to stave the chill.
