Minke Whale, Hand carved by Vermont artist Wendy Lichtensteiger. Approximately 33" L x 10"W
Sincerely enamored with nature, Wendy Lichtensteiger has been documenting its offerings since her childhood on Erskine Lake, NJ. By direct observation and through photographs, sketches, and natural found objects, Wendy has developed a deep respect for the mysterious wonders of plants and animals and the integrated relationship they maintain.
She navigates this respect and her devoted passion for producing and making by "reclaiming what is thought to be waste". Wendy creates her carvings with over 100 year old Wormy Chestnut, a once abundant tree that disappeared from the American landscape due to a 1920's blight. An appropriate material that in turns pays homage to the aviary creatures that once inhabited and perched in them.
Staining the carvings rather than painting them reveals the beauty of the woods historic characteristics and natural "feathery" grain. The cracks, checks and wormholes testify to the symbiotic relationship of nature and time. Often a favorite piece of driftwood or a found branch, which Lichtensteiger considers works of art in their own right, serves as a base for her woodcarvings.
After studying Studio Art at Arizona State University and moving back to the east coast to help open the Wooden Feather Folk Art Gallery, Wendy underwent a 5 year apprenticeship with her father Lance, himself a woodcarver of over 35 years. Having honed her woodcarving skills on the Jersey shore, she has built a wood shop of her own in the wooded mountains of Vermont.
In 2012, a friend and fellow carver Wick Ahrens called upon Wendy to assist him with his carving as his health began to fail. Wick is a renowned whale sculptor and the proprietor of The Whales in Vermont Gallery in Weston Vermont. With 12 years of carving under her belt, Wendy quickly stepped up and aided Wick in the creation of his wall plaques and his one of a kind museum pieces. Now in 2015, Wendy has taken over his whale plaque carvings, as Wick has officially retired to the Gill Home of Ludlow VT.

The alert description gives the most information in this case:
"Cluster network 'Cluster Network 2' is down. None of the available nodes can communicate using this network."
This is networking at the windows leve, you'll have to get with your networking team and windows team to check the binding order of the adaptors and port configuration. It also wouldn't hurt to ask the network team if they noticed any gliches or rebooted any switches (or ran upgrades, etc) that could have caused an issue. Check all cables and make sure they are good.
I would also go in and check what type of traffic 'Cluster Network 2' transports. I like to name mine what they are, such as "Public Cluster Network", "Private Cluster Network", "Management Network", etc. In cases like this it makes it much easier to understand what is affected. Depending on the version of Windows, the failover clustering administration GUI should show the networking and if it's up or down. It sounds like the private network lost connection, as if it were the public network you wouldn't have been able to remotely access SQL Server. Private traffic can run over the public network in event of a failure, but public can't traverse over the private network.
Start from the time of the event and work with networking to see if anything happened. Check your network connections in the windows failover clustering tool and have networking check ports and cables. Figure out what cluster network 2 is and what type of traffic traverses over it. Find the root cause.

Glorious Gwenllian
Next one up is Gwenllian. Come on in and work your magic!
Gwenllian is mountains and flooding water. I see her as a fierce huntress, a warrior, someone sharp and alert, almost wolf-like (my wolf dream is coming in here). She definitely embodies the spirit of the wolf; loving, protective, wild, free and beautiful. She's running through forests and creeks, swimming in rivers, embraces the rain like a dear friend. Purple and white heather, rabbits, owls, trees. Running... climbing trees and mountainwalls, wild and free. As a child I picture her as an animal friend, someone who wants to save every fly that comes into the house, and I imagine a garden reminiscent of a graveyard with everything from butterflies to moles buried there. She'd rather play in a treehouse than with a dollhouse. A pathfinder, someone who's handy with a knife and a rope, unafraid of messy hair and dirty socks.
I'm not too concerned with "normal" middles for Gwenllian, because of the Gwen part.
I'm considering these names for the middle spot:
So far combos under consideration are:
Gwenllian Atalanta Elaine
Gwenllian Psyche Eilonwy
Gwenllian Circe Eilonwy
Sights and Sounds:
One - Two - Three - Four - Five -Six
I think of Kate Bush with Gwenllian. Hounds of Love and Cloudbusting.
(These feelings I get and images I posted are just how I see the name, I'm not expecting my daughter to magically turn out like this if I name her Gwenllian )My darling Marian Illyria Aphrodite, March 2013 & Little Bunny (a girl!) due 9th of February 2014

Don't fret, hockey fans. HBO's 24/7: Road to the Winter Classic is officially coming back.
In addition to airing on HBO, the show will also be picked up by Sportsnet in Canada. Given that this year's Winter Classic includes a Canadian team in the Toronto Maple Leafs, that was to be expected.
"HBO's 24/7 has been a game-changer for us," said John Collins, COO, NHL. "The wide-open access our clubs provide on and off the ice gives a real sense of what it takes to play in the NHL and just how special our players are. Our fans love it and there's no question new fans have been attracted by watching the games and the personalities that come alive through the lens of HBO's storytelling. Red Wings-Maple Leafs will provide no shortage of great stories and having Sportsnet as our first partner in Canada will make this year's edition bigger than ever."
Set your calendars; the show will debut on Dec. 14 in the States on HBO, the next day on Sportsnet (presumably edited). The show as usual will air four episodes that will end with the actual Winter Classic game being played.

Fresh baked spiced apple cider donuts are a perfect treat for fall!
We made it out to a cider mill on Monday, and it was the perfect day for it! Sunny and in the 60's, just a perfectly beautiful Indian Summer day.
While we do love cider, the best part of the whole cider mill experience is the donuts (duh, everyone knows that), but if you have food intolerances, the donuts are probably off limits. Since most cider mill donuts contain egg, we have to make ours at home.
We skipped the donuts and enjoyed cider slushes instead on Monday. But we still needed donuts! So I baked these spiced apple cider donuts at home using cider instead of milk, and they were so flavorful. They were gobbled up in no time at all.
I have made these spiced apple cider donuts with both spelt flour and with gluten free flour. They are just slightly more dense with the gluten free flour. If you do use gluten free flour, reduce the amount of applesauce to one tablespoon.
Vegan Spiced Apple Cider Donuts.
- 1 cup white spelt flour these do work with a gluten free flour blend
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 cup apple cider
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons unsweetened applesauce reduce to one Tablespoon if you are using gluten free flour blend
- 1/4 cup vegan buttery spread melted
For the Topping:
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a donut pan.
Place the flour, coconut sugar, salt, baking powder, and spices in a bowl and whisk together.
Add the apple cider, vinegar, vanilla extract, applesauce, and melted vegan buttery spread and stir well.
Spoon the mixture into the donut pan, and smooth out with the back of the spoon.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then overturn the pan to remove donuts.
Dip warm donuts into the sugar to coat.
Recipe Notes
If you make these with gluten free flour, reduce the amount of unsweetened applesauce to 1 Tablespoon. I used NOW Gluten Free All Purpose Flour.

As the Atlantic 10 Conference Co-Player of the Week, Jones was nominated for the weekly award, which was chosen by a representative of the USBWA board of directors from a list of Division I conference players of the week.
Jones, a 6-foot-4 sophomore from O'Fallon, Ill., hit one of the season's most memorable shots to give the Bulldogs a dramatic 64-63 win over No. 8 Gonzaga in front of a national primetime ESPN audience and a packed Hinkle Fieldhouse with "College GameDay" on hand.
With the short-handed Bulldogs trailing by a point, Jones came up with a steal at midcourt, drove toward the basket and hit a floater from 10 feet as the final buzzer sounded. With leading scorer Rotnei Clarke sidelined, Jones led the Bulldogs with 20 points, while adding five rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in the win, Butler's third over over a Top 10 team this season.
Earlier in the week, Jones recorded his second double-double of the season, helping Butler to a conference win over Richmond. He finished with 10 points, a caeeer-high 12 rebounds, four assists and three steals.

Marquette Downs Cincinnati, Chicago St. Friday
April 11, 2014
MU-UC Box Score | MU-CSU Box Score
The Marquette University women's tennis team (12-8) swept a pair of non-conference matchups at the Helfaer Tennis Stadium Friday afternoon, downing Cincinnati 7-0 before posting a 7-0 win over Chicago State.
The Golden Eagles, who will conclude the regular season at DePaul on April 19, honored senior Rocio Diaz during to the match against Chicago State. The Buenos Aires, Argentina, native will conclude her standout career with over 100 singles and doubles victories and has served as team captain for two seasons.
Diaz and sophomore Erin Gebes clinched the doubles point for the Golden Eagles against the Bearcats. MU quickly rattled off three singles wins to clinch the team victory before posting a pair of tiebreaker decisions to cap the sweep of the squad's former BIG EAST Conference opponent. Sophomore Laia Hernandez Soler clinched the team win with a 6-4, 6-1 win at the No. 6 position.
Marquette also claimed the valuable doubles point against CSU, with junior Ana Pimienta and sophomore Aina Hernandez Soler clinching it at No. 3 with an 8-4 decision. MU swept all three doubles matchups.
The Golden Eagles continued the momentum into singles play, posting three straight-set wins at the bottom of the lineup. Aina Hernandez Soler earned the team victory with a decision at No. 4 singles.


text: Variation in composition of floral nectar reflects the action of extrinsic factors as well as intrinsic plant characteristics. Canto and Herrera study the occurrence and density of yeasts across 22 animal-pollinated species in a neotropical plant community and, after controlling for differences between plant species and individuals, find that yeasts account for a significant fraction of community-wide variance in nectar sugar parameters. As nectar features influence pollinator attraction and plant reproduction, they propose that future nectar studies should control for yeast presence and examine the extent to which such a 'microbial imprint' affects pollination services in plant communities.

My True Story of Becoming a Psychologically Feminized Princess
if you can resist the urge, then can you explain a few things?
So you think you can resist dressing this way, the next time? You cannot. Ask yourself these questions.
- Why do you think about doing this so often?
- Why are you reading this blog?
- Why are you wearing or wishing you were wearing silky lacy panties right now?
- Why could you not resist dressing in female attire the last time that you did?
- Why does your biological sex organ from becoming stiff as a board and rock hard just thinking about this?
Well this side of you, this special excitement, this desire is not going away. You cannot control it, stop it or make it go away. It's been that way since you were a young boy. You know that's the truth you try to hide.
Yes the desire to do this is deeply ingrained in you. It may be suppressed for a period of time but it never goes away. Nobody changes their sexual desires and attractions. Everybody manages them. Denial, suppression does not work. It will fail just like it has every other time in your past.
It is time for you to understand, SHE is going to have HER way with you. Whether you want to or not. You are going to be dressed as a pretty girl, time and time again. You cannot resist or stop her. The girl inside of you – she has you in her powerful grip She always has had you in her grip and she always will.
Time for you to be a well behaved girl. Put on your panties, stockings, dress, and high heels NOW. She has decided it is time for you to dress again. You know it is. That's why you're reading this blog. The desire is building again, it will soon be too powerful to resist and you cannot stop it.
This is your inescapable fate, relax and get dressed. Fight and resist if you must. But she is going to put your back in panties, stockings, dress and high heels again. It will happen shorty whether you try and resist or not. She always wins and deep down inside you know it. So be a good girl and put your pretty feminine clothes on right now.

The Atlanta Hawks are hoping injuries to some key players don't stop their recent run of success.
Facing the Minnesota Timberwolves also might help keep things headed in a positive direction.
The banged-up Hawks look to defeat the Timberwolves for an 11th straight time Saturday night in Atlanta.
Already dealing with day-to-day injuries to starting forward Marvin Williams (ankle) and key reserve Tracy McGrady (back), Atlanta (8-4) learned this week that All-Star forward Al Horford (12.4 points per game, 7.0 rebounds per game) will miss at least three months with a torn pectoral muscle in his shoulder.
"That was very disappointing news,'' forward Josh Smith said.
Instead of feeling sorry for themselves, the Hawks blew out Charlotte 111-81 on Thursday in their first game without Horford. Smith had 30 points and 13 rebounds and Joe Johnson added 23 points with eight assists as the Hawks won for the fourth time in five games.
"We all understand that we have to step our games up in some respect,'' Johnson said. "It was a great team effort, collectively, around the room (Thursday). Everybody stepped up and did something to make an impact on the game. We're going to need that from here on out."
Six players scored in double figures for the Hawks, who are 4-1 at home, averaging 107.0 points in those contests.
"If we can just maintain until some of the other guys get back in there, I think we'll be OK," Smith said.
Smith has done his part, averaging 24.0 points in the last five games after putting up 11.7 per contest in his previous seven.
"He's playing big every night, it seems like,'' Johnson said. "He's got an edge, a chip on his shoulder.''
Smith has averaged 23.3 points and 9.3 rebounds in his last three games versus Minnesota, which has dropped 10 in a row to the Hawks since an 84-83 home win April 9, 2006. The Timberwolves (4-7) are also mired in an eight-game skid at Atlanta that dates to a 103-93 victory Nov. 20, 2002.
Minnesota avoided a third straight defeat overall by winning 87-80 at New Orleans on Friday. Kevin Love had a season-high 34 points with 15 rebounds while Ricky Rubio added 12 points and nine assists, and hit the tiebreaking free throws in his first NBA start.
"My teammates expect me to go out there and perform,'' said Love, averaging 24.5 points and 14.7 rebounds per game. "Win, lose or draw, whether I'm having an off night or shooting 100 percent from the field, they are going to be with me."
In six career games against the Hawks, Love has scored more than 20 only once - 22 in a 111-105 loss at Atlanta on Nov. 14, 2010.
Rubio, the 21-year-old rookie from Spain, continues to get more comfortable in his new league while averaging 11.7 points and 9.3 assists over the last six contests.
The Timberwolves will again be without starting forward Michael Beasley (12.9 ppg, 7.0 rpg) because of a foot injury and key reserve J.J. Berea (11.4 ppg) due to an ankle problem.

NEW YORK (Sep. 3)
The Rev. John L. Regier, associate general secretary of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., today called upon the United Nations to investigate immediately "the executions that have taken place with uncivilized brutality" in Iraq. Speaking at a public memorial service for the 15 people executed last week in Iraq–11 Moslems, two Christians and two Jews— held here at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza near the UN, Rev. Regier added:
"The citizen of no country today can justifiably point an accusing finger at another country on issues of human rights and fundamental freedoms. But men of humanity everywhere can–indeed must–rise in full-throated protest when brutality overcomes decency, arbitrariness takes the place of law, and when force in the hands of those who govern denies freedom to the people under their power."
More than 500 persons stood in the rain to participate in the service which was organized by the Synagogue Council of America on behalf of 24 major Jewish organizations.

I have been a seasoned traveller this being my third Contiki in 4 years, all being absolutely amazing....until "Turkey & Greek Island Odyssey"
This tour certainly needs a lot of work. It was the most unorganised and poorly run tour I have been on yet. The local guide in Turkey was extremely rude and took advantage of the guests on the bus by exchanging money at a hiked rate, leaving us in pre organised bars which he obviously was receiving back handers from locals to bring us to, where they charged us extortion prices for drinks then argued the bill after.
Then coming to the Greek islands part, the islands were absolutely amazing but the organisation was terrible, that's why you pay to go on a "GUIDED" trusted tour. The tours were in excess of 45 Euros, once we arrived on the island we found that you could take the same tours for 26 Euros.
I can appreciate a bit of business and making money but this is why you take these guided, trusted tours to avoid being taken for a ride by locals.
I am extremely disappointed and will not be undergoing another Contiki.
Feel free to make your own mind up but I'd highly recommend avoiding Turkey and doing a sole Greek island tour.

This is the winter of Philly sports fans' discontent, if only because it is ... winter. No NFL (except for ESPN's two-month promotion of the April 25-26 draft), no baseball (until Comcast SportsNet splices the Phillies' Grapefruit League schedule) and little basketball hope when there is an NBA that includes the Sixers and the real NBA (Lakers, Celtics, Cavs, but no more Magic).
Oh, and no meaningful hockey until the playoffs start.
"$!&^%))@#," Paul Holmgren and assorted bosses might say to that last sentence.
Real hockey men are paid to feel, play, manage and coach as if all 82 games are vital. But what would the Flyers' front office men say to the thought of trading Danny Briere?
If timing is everything, they'd rightfully say the time is all wrong to think about taking Briere and his huge contract and asking him if he'd mind them waving it across such trade routes as phone lines, e-mail addresses and bars during the general managers meetings.
Briere is a youthful 31 who has had a belly tear for much of the season. He might be over it soon, which would be welcome news for a Flyers team that has been suffering from viral strains of up and chuck lately. Once free of such bugs, this will be a team that shapes up well for the stretch drive, even as it continues to develop into what at some point will be a bit of a financial headache for upper management.
On the ice, the Flyers' so-called second line of Jeff Carter, Scott Hartnell and Joffrey Lupul has been as solid as any in hockey for long stretches of the season. Simon Gagne has been often terrific, Mike Knuble is playing younger than his 36 years and rookie Claude Giroux really is looking like the real thing Holmgren frequently has said he was during the past couple of years.
Giroux might be known as a winger, but his tryout at center is going swimmingly. With him in place between Gagne and Knuble, Mike Richards can do what he does best -- play somewhere other than the top line. Put Richards in the middle between a couple of sometimes misdirected dervishes like Scottie Upshall and Darroll Powe, and a good checking line is a dangerous one.
Then there is the fourth line ... which thankfully doesn't need more than the occasional turn of duty come playoff time.
Overall, the Flyers' annual goaltending controversy has legs, but Marty Biron likely will win his job back by mid-March. And their defense will be sort of solid, though it would not be a bad idea for Holmgren to test the waters if and when a talented physical defenseman is dangled near the trade deadline.
That's because defense and goaltending win playoff games, and the Flyers have more question marks in those two areas than they do up front. Of course, it always helps to have three good scoring lines against the likes of the Bruins, Capitals and Penguins come spring.
The Flyers' forwards can look forward to those postseason meets with much enthusiasm. And this is without the aforementioned Mr. Briere, still the highest-paid player on the club with a well-deserved no-trade clause.
Nine games played this season for Dan the Man, thanks to an abdominal injury that wouldn't go away. He missed 32 games early in 2006 due to another abdominal woe, which might cause questions as to whether he has the stomach for NHL wear and tear.
Well, of course he does.
Briere played 82 games in 2002-03 and 2003-04, missed one game in 2006-07, and checked in for 79 games for the Flyers last season, proving that his summer work with that Canadian strong man champ trainer is well worth the effort.
Briere is a gamer. He's also a center that can play wing, can score from anywhere, has his share of defensive shortcomings yet is a world-class power play weapon. If, as is the plan, he returns in time for a monthly tune-up and a smooth run into the playoffs, the Flyers would gain the luxury of using him as an extra forward who could be slotted anywhere -- including his rightful place of center on the top line, currently occupied by Giroux.
It should all make for a very interesting postseason, especially if a physical defender does become available at the deadline for a combination of draft pick and prospect ... or even a regular forward that Holmgren wouldn't mind tossing in.
By summer, however, the Flyers might want to take a hard look at what they have in Briere and wonder if they should talk to him about a future elsewhere.
He'll have been here for two parts of his contracted six-season term, and is a tough salary swallow for any team, since he has one more season at $8 million, followed by three more at $7 million each.
But his cap hit next season is $6.5 million. That's a lot of money for most teams in this financially depressed league, but he is a real ticket seller for a team that might be one player away from Cup material (think Chicago) and may seem a similarly attractive fit to him, or one that has the money and Cup history (like Detroit), and intends to keep things that way.
If Holmgren - a G.M. who needs to re-sign Upshall and Knuble, and who has two goalies that are pending unrestricted free agents -- wants to spend some time on the phone in the weeks leading up to the June entry draft, Briere might be a worthwhile conversation piece, provided the guy on the other end works for a Western Conference team that Briere might approve of.
If Giroux continues to pan out at center, the Flyers may consider subtracting a superb offensive player, a fine leader, a hard worker and a good guy from their ledger in the offseason. Nothing against Briere, but he might be looked upon as a luxury by his team's money men that a couple of other teams would covet.

Tutu cute!
Suri Cruise donned an adorable pink ensemble for her gymnastics class in NYC Monday. Accompanied by her doting dad, Tom Cruise, the 5-year-old fashionista went barefoot on the mat and let her hair hang loose!
While Suri and Tom hit the gym, mom Katie Holmes hit the red carpet for the premiere of Don't Be Afraid of the Dark in NYC. At the event, her costar Bailee Madison told Us Weekly that Suri -- who visited the set of the film -- "really is one of the sweetest girls." See more pics from Suri's gymnastics class.
"She's sweet and fun and just likes to have a good time," Madison, 11, gushed. "She's very energetic too and is just really so nice."
The former Wizards of Waverly Place star said Holmes, 32, was an "upbeat" presence on the horror fllm's set -- and even kicked off impromptu "dance parties" with her little girl and young costar!
So what did Madison, Holmes and Suri dance to? "A lot of Mamma Mia, because you can twirl a lot with it!" she said.
Although Madison credited Suri's maturity to "growing up in [the] business," Holmes still doesn't think her tot is old enough to see mom in a scary movie just yet. "I think she's a little young for this one," the actress told Us.

A tale of two seasons in Taranaki dairying
Good rainfall in Taranaki this dairy season has boosted pasture growth so most farmers have plenty of feed if a dry spell arrives.
South Taranaki farm adviser Debbie McCallum and Waimate West Demonstration Farm supervisor Joe Clough both say farmers are in a better position than they were last year to deal with dry conditions.
Dairy NZ Taranaki regional leader Katrina Knowles notes this season's good production is aligned with a good forecast payout - $8.30/kg milksolids (MS) compared with $5.84kg MS last season. So she's advising farmers to use the money to improve infrastructure and meet compliance standards and to do some tax planning.
Tikorangi farmers Craig and Tania Rowe are hoping to top last season's production target of 175,000kg MS. At the moment their production is 5 per cent ahead of last season. Their monthly production is 8 per cent ahead of last January.
In the lower North Island, Fonterra's milk production is 3.46 per cent ahead of January 2013 and 2.44 per cent ahead of the 2012-13 season to date.
Farming for 22 years on their farm of 125 effective hectares, the Rowes have a herd of 384 cows which produced 167,000kg MS last season, because they milked until May 26.
"It cost me money for PKE (palm kernel expeller) to maintain production last year. I used 260 tonnes, 40 tonnes extra," Craig Rowe said.
"At the end of January we were under stress," he recalled. "Production was already dropping away."
It was down to 1500 litres a day and continued falling as the rain stayed away. Grass growth was less than 30kg dry matter (DM) and pasture cover was only 1550kg DM and falling. So he culled cows in January and dried off 120 cows in April.
Contrast those figures with today. "We're still growing 50kg DM/ha a day. Our cover is about 2100kg DM. Good payout, good production, good rain - what more do you want?"
By the end of last week January rainfall was 81mm and more rain fell on Sunday. "That's good for Tikorangi. We can dry out here. Us guys handle the dry better than some other areas. We're used to drying out - it's a matter of how severe."
He said last season's drought broke quickly when rain did fall. "Production rose and the cover built, so the cows came through pretty well. Nature balances up - we had a good winter with good growth. Then we had an awesome spring."
Impressed with the success of a plantain and chicory crop last season, they've planted 15ha (eight paddocks) this season. "It's unbelievable; it's like rocket fuel. Last year the whole farm was brown except for the two chicory paddocks, which were green."
The cows graze a hectare a day on a 15-day rotation. The couple also have 6ha of maize, but are not growing turnips this season for the first time in years.
In Hawera, Bryce and Amanda Savage are 50/50 sharemilkers on a 134ha Parininihi ki Waitotara farm where production from their 415 cows is up 1.69 per cent for the month and down 1.4 per cent for the season.
Daily production per cow is 1.57kg MS, 0.9kg more than last year.
"There's nothing in it," Amanda Savage said. "The drought hadn't kicked in at this time last year. Production losses didn't hit until February.
"But this year we've used 70 tonnes less PKE. Last year we were pouring in more feed."
She was surprised when she compared the two seasons' pasture cover and growth. At present pasture cover on the farm is 2440kg DM/ha and average growth is 54kg DM/ha. Last year the figures were 1778kg DM/ha cover and 13kg DM/ ha growth.
Bryce Savage said the couple expected to meet last year's production target of 185,000kg. "I've got feed up my sleeve.
"You've gotta be positive with a payout like this. Even if it goes dry, I've got plenty of feed to bridge the gap."
McCallum, who's the supervisor at Westpac Taranaki Agricultural Research Station nearby, said the June-December period of 2013 was much warmer and wetter than 2012. Rainfall was 727mm, 112mm more, and the average soil temperature was 11.9 degrees Celsius, 0.6 degrees higher.
This January was wetter and colder than last year. "Great for farmers, but not holidaymakers," she said.
Total rainfall for January 2014 was 113mm, compared with 67mm last January. Rainfall in February and March last year was only 70mm, less than half the 150mm average.
Pasture growth from June to December 2013 was 10.8 tonnes/DM/ ha, 0.9t DM/ha more than the previous year - an extra 90t/DM on a 100ha farm. An extra 100 tonnes dry matter has been harvested as supplement this season.
She said more supplements had been harvested this season on most farms, where soils were also wetter than last year.
While milk production started dropping in late January last year, it was pulling ahead now. "This time last year, concern was building due to drier than average conditions and poor cashflows. Favourable weather and much improved cash flows have farmers in a positive mood."
Taranaki focus farm host Chris Prankerd said 199mm of rain had fallen on his high- altitude farm at Tariki this month, compared with 142mm in January 2013. Rain fell on February 6 last year and didn't fall for the next 38 days.
Last season pasture cover was 2540kg DM/ha and he had 460 bales of silage, compared with 2200kg/DM now and 640 bales of silage. His 225 cows are each receiving a daily feed of 2kg PKE this season.
Daily per cow production of 1.72kg MS is higher than last season's 1.52kg MS. Milk production is 12 per cent ahead for January and 7 per cent ahead for the season.
"We've had better rainfall in December and January than last season. If it keeps raining, we'll have good production. I'm pretty positive about the way it's going."
Production on the 142ha (effective) Opunake farm of Rachel and Kenneth Short set monthly records five months in a row last season, including January, when it was almost 12 per cent ahead. The couple are Taranaki 2013 Sharemilkers of the Year and 2014 Taranaki Ballance Farm Environment Awards finalists.
Production began declining on their farm at the end of January last year. "We were desperate for the rain that arrived on February 4," Rachel Short said.
Rainfall in January 2013 was low and although 50mm fell on February 4, it was not enough to maintain production. The couple dried off their 450-cow herd in April, achieving 128,000kg MS - below their target of 144,000kg which they're on track for this season.
The couple use no inputs, so focus on pasture quality. They'll have 500 bales of hay by the end of this week, significantly more than their 400-bale average. They've also grown 10ha of turnips.
She said the farm received 155mm of rain this January and puddles on the farm after Sunday's rain indicated good soil moisture. She's feeling positive about the season. "But everything depends on the rain."
Clough said last spring was significantly wetter and much more grass had grown on the demonstration farm near Manaia than the previous season.
Since June 2013, the farm has received 150mm more rain than last season and DM/ha was 1600kg ahead.
Less than average growth from September 2012 had no significant impact on milk solids production to the middle of January last year because pasture levels were still good.
But low growth between October 2012 and January 2013 meant there wasn't much supplementary feed on farms last summer.
However, much more supplementary feed was made between October last year and this January, so stocks were approaching normal.
Clough said while many farms were ahead of last season's high production, the difference was not substantial. On some farms it was lower.
The theory of retired Taranaki Agricultural Research Station scientist Norm Thomson that November rainfall was an important indicator of the season to follow proved correct last season.
This season the indicators were more positive, with November 2013 rainfall at the demonstration farm well above the average of 80mm. Rainfall since was also above average. Any dry spell this season was likely to be shorter and less severe than last season's drought, he said.
Knowles said milk production peaks this season were higher and longer than normal on many farms after strong autumn and winter grass growth put cows in good condition for calving.
Maintaining pasture quality had been challenging and highlighted the importance of monitoring to capture grass growth - whether in the vat or as supplement.
Seedhead emergence had proved a challenge and could increase the risk of facial eczema because there might be a lot of dead matter in the pasture base.
She expects grass growth to slow next month and is advising farmers to extend their grazing rotation.

Drake Finishes 'Thank Me Later,' Reveals Next Single
With most stories about Drake leaning towards the chronic postponement of his hotly-anticipated album, 'Thank Me Later,' some news has surfaced catapulting things into a more positive direction towards an actual June 15 release date for his debut.
Winding down his tour this week, rap's current golden boy made a stop at the University of Missouri in Kansas City on Monday (April 26). According to reports, Drizzy told the crowd that he would be turning in his final version of 'Thank Me Later' later that evening following his performance. Drake's camp has since confirmed to The BoomBox that he has indeed finished the album's final track and that the next single will be 'Find Your Love.'
With fans already drowning out Drake at shows with their impromptu singing-along on the debut's first official single, 'Over,' the rapper-turned-actor also gave the Kansas City crowd a preview of 'Thank Me Later"s reported opener, 'Fireworks,' which, sure, he's done in the past, but someone in the audience happened to capture a really clear snippet of it this time …

I live on a narrow 20' x 130' lot in the west end of Toronto near Bloor. I have a detached house with approximately 1000 square feet of living space and a small finished basement with another 400 square feet. I would like to add space to my home in the most cost effective way possible and I am considering 2 options.
Option #1 going into the attic/ adding a third floor.
I have a hipped roof with a ridge that runs most of the length of the house and is about 7 feet high. It is a rafter roof system. I know this is not high enough and that we would need to gain floor space with extra height. Im not sure if this could be done with dormers/ skylights or if would need to raise the roof or remove it and add a 3rd floor. I would access the attic through stairs running directly above the current stairs and taking floor space from a large closet for the landing. My initial thought is to build a master bedroom with an ensuite on the third floor but I've also considered a open guest room/ playroom/ office.
Option # 2 is a 2 story rear addition with a full basement. I would connect the basement to the existing basement. On the main floor I would make the kitchen currently at the back of the house larger and add a family room with sliding doors leading to a deck behind it. Upstairs I would enlarge a Bedroom. The house currently sits about 1.5' from the property line on either side. In the back on 1 side there is a 3' x 10' section beside the kitchen 'missing' from the house (there's a door leading to a small side deck that leads to the back). The additon would ideally be the full width of the house and would include extending the narrower part at the back of the house to the same width as the rest of the house. I'm not sure this is allowed/ possible. There is not a lot of room between houses to access the backyard for construction equipment but I do have a laneway and garage at the back to gain access.
Let me know if any more information is useful. I'm only looking for advice and costs at this time.
Good questions and thank you for the details.
The first thing you will need to find out is what you are able to do within the city zoning policies. The third floor option could be restricted by the Maximum allowable height of homes in your area. The addition option could be restricted by either the max allowable ft2 for your home or by the back yard set back ( mandated back yard size). Every house in Toronto is bound by these zoning policies and since both of your options will require a building permit, you will need to first obtain a letter of approval from the zoning department. Your contractor or any architect can find this out for you once they have your property survey or site plan. You can also go to city hall with your survey or site plan and ask for a consultation with the zoning department. (be prepared for a very long wait as it is first come first serve).
If the zoning bylaws do not allow the changes you are looking for you can appeal using the Committee of Adjustment" process which involves presenting your case to the board for permission to get a "variance". You should use an experienced contractor or architect to prepare and present the proposal on your behalf as it will strongly increase your changes of success. The process will cost a $1500 fee, plus the cost of preparing the drawings and application (+/-3000$).
As for the feasibility of each option; adding space in a 7' high attic is not recommended because of the space required to adequately support and insulate the roof will make the new ceiling less then 6'7" which is the min ceiling height for usable space (building code). The roof will need to be removed and replaced with either a new hip/gable roof or flat roof. The cost of doing so is very similar to the cost of the new 1 storey addition with unfinished basement or crawl space. Adding a 2nd floor to the addition will make it more expensive.
As for cost: You can budget $20-$25,000 for demo and disposal of existing, $10,000 for all drawings, design, permits, $150/ft2 for construction, plus extra for any features, like bathroom, kitchen, fireplace, built ins, upgraded exterior (eg. brick vs stucco).
Just to add, if you are looking for the best Value for resale then you should find an experienced local realtor and find out which option would increase your resale the most, based on the cost to do the renovation. The third floor obviously being the cheaper of the two. However I always tell people if your planning on staying in the house for a number of years, do the work that would benefit you and your family the most. You have to consider the years of use and enjoyment you will get from the renovation.
Hi David, your best bet is to speak to a couple of Contractors to get the information you need. You should have them visit your property so they can give a recommendation and quote.
Hi David,
Susan's reply was very good. Cost can vary from that depending on a number of variables though.
Another reply made a very good point.....check with experienced realtors in your area and get an opinion of what will work for resale as well.
Prior to my moving to the Niagara region three years ago my company renovated multiple homes in the downtown Toronto area, as well as a number of additions.
Most of the additions were additional floors. But do check out the height restrictions with the zoning and building department.

There is an easy answer - if the word is in "Official Scrabble Words" it's in - if it's not it's out. Chambers 20th Century is the dictionary it is based on, I recall.

The Grape juice Rep. said they were going to send someone down from Concord, MA to California where I live to pick up the Sample, and do their own Lab test on it. I will only give them a partial sample and keep the rest just in case something happens to the Sample I give them,like it somehow gets lost in their posession.I asked the FDA it they would want a Sample to test themselves, and they said they would probably consider testing it, if they felt there was a need to. My question is, if the Manufacturer representatives want the actual Grape Juice bottle instead of a separate container, should I give it to them?
Hi, I talked to the Grape Juice Representative and they said that since the juice was a few months old,they did not feel their Labs could determine what contaminates, if any are in the sample. I then called the FDA again and they referred me to the FDA in my area,Irvine,Ca. I talked to the main man in the Complaint division " Franklin Lee", Ph.(NNN) NNN-NNNNand he said that they do not do Lab testing for Private Parties and would not file a Complaint on my behalf, because it would be against Federal Ordinance Regulations. He then suggested I contact a Private Lab to have it tested, and then said he was sorry he could not help me.Also, I never did hear back from the Private Lab I contacted a few days ago. Can you provide me with any more suggestions? This is getting pretty frustrating. Thank You
HiI am sorry to hear this. I am out of suggestions, however. I will opt out and see if another legal pro has any ideas.Please do not respond to this information request as that may delay a response from another ProGood luck
In order to show that you have a contamination case, you need to be able to establish what toxin you were exposed to. You need to see a toxicologist, not just a regular doctor. And you need to ask for a full blood work up to determine what you were exposed to. You also need to keep checking around for different labs.
This can be an expensive option, but unless you have a way to establish what exactly happened to you, it will be next to impossible to get an attorney to pick the case up on contingency. There is also the problem of how long you waited from the incident until starting to take action. Waiting a few months after something like this definitely hurts the chances of doctors and lab tests being able to show what happened. I can only encourage you to keep looking for answers and experts.

House and Atelier by F451 Arquitectura
"We have this modern tradition where pieces of architecture just lay on the landscape," says Toni Montes from F451 Arquitectura. "With this project we wanted to go beyond that question and find other, richer relationships between the two."
The project Montes is describing is a new house and atelier that F451 Arquitectura has completed in the city of Gijón, Spain. Composed of three distinct white, metal volumes, the structure bears a complicated relationship to the landscape around it, perching on top of the ground to the west, but gradually becoming submerged within it to the east.
Designed for the artist Lara Rios, the building is divided into a house, double-size atelier, garage and guest apartment. Each of the separate components is housed within a metal shell and then sealed with insulating material and a fibreglass-like outer casing. "Imagine the construction of a surfboard," Montes says by way of explanation. The simplicity of construction is betrayed by the corrugated metal panels that cover every ceiling: a glimpse of the metal structure that underpins it all.
The Gijón project's character, Montes says, was born out of a site that slopes up a 7m gradient. The complexities of the plot of land afforded an opportunity for F451 to explore the connections between architecture and landscape. "As a studio we're interested in merging landscape and architecture," he says. "We're fascinated by the continuity between them as well as the distinctions."
The building is the second part of a trilogy of projects from F451 Arquitectura investigating landscape and architecture. It follows in the footsteps of the 2009 UPF Green Zone, a stretch of parkland in Barcelona with concrete seating sunk into the ground; and will be followed by a geometric ferry terminal embedded in grassland in Mahon, the capital of Minorca.
All three projects exploit a similar aesthetic: harsh, angular structures rising out of undulating land. "Our architecture is very geometric and edge-based, but we like to keep landscapes very smooth," says Montes. "We don't believe in modelling the landscape using artificial geometry. We like to connect architecture to landscape but we should never forget that they have their own distinct characters."

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie doesn't have the strongest base of support within the Republican Party, but he's the party's top hope of defeating Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2016, according to two new polls.
A Monmouth University poll shows Christie faring considerably better against the Democratic former secretary of state than three other big-name potential GOP presidential candidates. While Christie trailed Clinton by four points, 43-39, Sens. Marco Rubio (Fla.) and Ted Cruz (Tex.) and former Florida governor Jeb Bush all trailed by double digits.
Bush trailed 47-37, Rubio trailed 47-36 and Cruz trailed by the most, at 48-32.
While Christie fares the best in the general election, though, his favorability rating among GOP primary voters is noticeably worse than those of Bush and Rubio, along with Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.).
Ryan's favorable-unfavorable split is 76-6, while Bush's is 76-14 and Rubio's is 64-4. Christie is at 54-18.
The results echo a Quinnipiac University poll released Monday, which also showed Christie is the buzziest GOP candidate overall. But, like the Monmouth poll, it showed he lags behind potential 2016 primary opponents when you focus on Republican voters.
In that poll, which ranks how "hot" a politician is, Christie ranks first overall, just ahead of Clinton, but eighth among GOP voters. He trails the Republicans mentioned above, along with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) and former senator Rick Santorum (Pa.).
Christie alienated some conservatives by embracing President Obama in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. He also recently took on the Republican Party's emerging libertarian movement, engaging in a war of words with Paul over the NSA's surveillance programs

"I work out every day," exclaims speeding skating champ Apolo Ohno to Healthy Hollywood!
Apolo adds, "I've been an athlete most of my life and on a disciplined schedule. Working out for me is just part of my every day."
The eight-time Olympic medalist might have hung up his skates, but not his passion for staying fit. "My 'go to' workout is called the Asylum from Beach Body. It's intense training with lots of intervals, core work. It's hard! I travel a lot, so I can take it on the road with me and do it in a hotel room. Lately, I'm also really into lifting weights. I could never focus on my upper body as a skater, so I'm enjoying having symmetrical upper and lower body muscle."
Healthy Hollywood caught up with Apolo at the Subway fitness event to launch their new Subway FitPacks, which is a symbol of the restaurants dedication to health and wellness. At the New York City event, Apolo led a workout session for the media, which included the weight workout FlyBarre and surfboard exercise Surfset.
"As for Surfset, loved it. Great sport, great athletes, loved the core strength element involved. That was the idea of the event to encourage people to exercise and eat right," adds Apolo.
While Apolo won't be competing in February's Winter Olympics, he will have a special role in Sochi. He's going to be a correspondent for NBC. "I'm really enjoying this new role – being the one behind the microphone and the one asking the questions and steering the conversation. It's rewarding to help bring out the best person, whether it's their story as an athlete or their personality on a network show. I'm into it and hope to do a lot more."
First up though, Apolo is hosting the Game Show Network's "Minute to Win It."
"This was my first 'hosting' role and it was intense and a lot of work but I loved it! Broadcasting is definitely in my cards for the future and I'm determined to work hard at it – to perfect it and create my style and niche," exclaims Apolo.

Johnson makes ball change
By Jonathan Wall, PGATOUR.COM Equipment Insider
One of the biggest names on the PGA TOUR will have a new golf ball in play at the Farmers Insurance Open after TaylorMade Golf confirmed that Dustin Johnson would be using the company's new Lethal ball.
Johnson had been playing TaylorMade's Penta TP5, but following his win at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, he decided to open testing again with the Lethal.
After working with it for the last couple of weeks, Johnson finally felt comfortable enough with the ball's performance in the scoring zone to make the switch official at Torrey Pines.

Notes: Lee returns to lineup, bats fifth
Notes: Lee returns to lineup
The 30-year-old Lee had been on the disabled list since July 24, with post-traumatic inflammation of his right wrist. It was his second stint on the DL. He was sidelined from April 20 to June 24, after he fractured his right wrist in a collision with the Dodgers' Rafael Furcal on April 20, in Los Angeles. Lingering pain forced Lee back on the DL a month after his first return.
"I feel good," Lee reported. "I'm excited to get back and on the field and try to get some at-bats in."
Lee is batting .261 with four home runs and 14 RBIs in 34 games this season. He batted .227 with four doubles, a home run and four RBIs in 20 games between trips to the disabled list.
"It's tough to sit out period," Lee explained. "You know I'd rather be on the field. It's no fun being hurt and in the trainers' room all year. It's nice to be back."
Cubs manager Dusty Baker had Lee penciled in his lineup at first base for Monday night's game in Pittsburgh, batting fifth, and will use him with caution.
"It depends on how he feels," Baker stated. "Right now, the plan is a couple days playing and one day off. It depends on how he feels, and he's agreeable to that right now. If on that third day he feels good he'll probably want to play, knowing him. That's his leash right now."
The Cubs have struggled mightily with Lee out of the lineup -- limping into Monday's contest with a record of 54-76. Lee's return prompted Baker to muse about what might have been had Lee been able to play.
"You can figure he can make up 10, 12 or 15 games by himself," Baker lamented. "Our offense would have been in a lot better situation. He's a Golden Glove and Silver Bat guy; yeah he would have made a tremendous difference. You think about it, but you deal with what's at hand and what you have to work with right now."
Baker has been under a microscope, and rumors that he may lose his job because of the Cubs' poor play are making the rounds, which disturbs Lee.
"It's been a rough season and we haven't played well," Lee said. "We've had injuries. It's just one of those years when nothing has gone right. We have to learn from it and get better from it. It's not all the manager, and everyone knows that. I think it's one of those things, for the media, it's easier to pin it on one guy than 25 guys. It's not fair. The players are the guys out there on the field playing the game, and we need to be the ones taking the blame."
Cedeno sits: Shortstop Ronny Cedeno is being given some time off in this series. Ryan Theriot got the start at shortstop Monday.
"We'll give him a couple of days off," Baker said, "just to get him back in the proper alertness and frame of mind. He's been mired in a slump for a long time, and these things can wear on your mind, and you're not as alert as you'd like to be. So, tonight and tomorrow we'll [give him] a time-out just to sit on the bench with [Cesar] Izturis and some guys and just have a thought process where you think things out in advance before they happen."
Cedeno was hitless in 13 straight at-bats before a single on Sunday night in St. Louis. He is batting .241 with five home runs and 31 RBIs.
"He played pretty good in Triple-A last year," Baker explained. "What did he hit -- .355 or something like that? It's not all about batting average, it's about playing the game and its many phases, and it's tough on a young shortstop.
"I'd say the toughest positions to have your young people [play] are shortstop and catcher, because they're in every play and they have to be on top of every play. They're in most cutoff and relay situations and most double plays, and involved in almost everything that happens on the field. Plus, you are under more scrutiny than if you were in Iowa. Everything that you do good or bad is highly scrutinized.
"I don't know if it's overwhelmed him. He started out so very well and then other teams made adjustments, and now it's up to him to make adjustments in return."
On deck: The Cubs face the Pirates in Game 2 of the three-game series in Pittsburgh at 6:05 p.m. CT on Tuesday. Right-hander Carlos Zambrano (14-5, 3.31) will be on the hill for the Cubs. The Pirates will counter with lefty Paul Maholm (6-10, 4.82).

OROVILLE — Two new candidates, including a current member of the Butte County Board of Supervisors, have filed as candidates for the county assessor's post.
Bill Connelly of Oroville, who currently represents the 1st Supervisors District, and Virgle N. Gage, a retired business executive, have both filed papers to run for the post in the June primary, according to the county elections website.
Gage challenged Connelly's re-election bid in the 2012. The incumbent supervisor won that race handily.
They are joining Al Petersen, who filed his papers earlier.
The incumbent assessor, Fred Holland, recently announced he would not be seeking re-election and will leave the position when his term runs out at the end of the year.

NYC; History Tells Prosecutors To Aim Low
By CLYDE HABERMAN
Published: March 20, 2007
New York's worst-kept secret was officially revealed yesterday with the unsealing of indictments against three police detectives in the Sean Bell case.
Thanks to information leaks, the mother's milk of journalists and government officials, the outlines of the indictments became known within minutes after a Queens grand jury handed them up on Friday: manslaughter charges against Detectives Michael Oliver and Gescard F. Isnora, and charges of reckless endangerment against Detective Marc Cooper. In that sense, yesterday's announcement of the charges by the Queens district attorney, Richard A. Brown, was merely a formality.
But there is no such thing as a mere formality when police officers stand accused, especially when their actions caused the death of an unarmed man, Mr. Bell. Especially when that unarmed man lost his life in a barrage of 50 bullets. Especially when that unarmed man lost his life in a barrage of 50 bullets on what should have been his wedding day.
So there was inherent drama yesterday, even if Mr. Brown read the indictments with about as much emotion as he might have summoned while reciting a passage from Thucydides.
As he spoke, thoughts drifted back to Amadou Diallo, the African immigrant gunned down in the Bronx in 1999 by four police officers firing 41 shots. The contrasts between the two situations were almost palpable.
In the Bell case, Mr. Brown was no-nonsense; he made the charges public on the first possible working day. In the Diallo case, the Bronx district attorney, Robert T. Johnson, kept an anxious city dangling for six days; he held onto a sealed indictment against the four officers until Mr. Diallo's parents could fly in from overseas.
Alongside Mr. Brown yesterday stood a dozen of his prosecutors and investigators. Alongside Mr. Johnson in 1999 stood the Diallo parents. But the Diallos, with all respect for their pain, had no standing in the matter. Having them there was purely an emotional fillip.
The most significant difference, though, lay in the charges. At the behest of Mr. Johnson, who likened the Diallo killing to a drive-by shooting, the grand jury returned charges of second-degree murder. The Bell grand jury settled for a top charge of first-degree manslaughter.
Sure, it is a serious accusation. It carries a possible prison sentence of 25 years. But it falls well short of suggesting that the detectives showed depraved indifference to human life, let alone that they consciously set out to kill Mr. Bell.
Predictably, protesters gathered outside the Queens courthouse where the officers were arraigned yesterday. Predictably, they denounced the manslaughter charges as woefully insufficient. Predictably, they demanded murder indictments.
''Manslaughter is not good enough because we've seen people walk on that,'' said Hazel N. Dukes, president of the New York State Conference of N.A.A.C.P. Branches.
Charles Barron, the former Black Panther turned city councilman, felt the same. ''They're setting it up for an acquittal or a slap on the wrist,'' he said.
History, however, suggests that the opposite is true. Indict a New York police officer for murder in the performance of his job, however much he may have botched it, and you are almost guaranteeing he will walk. That was a lesson from the Diallo case, which ended with all four officers being acquitted.
Aiming low is sometimes a more effective tactic for a prosecutor. Lying low is definitely a more effective tactic for police officers accused of serious crimes. On that score, we have another contrast between the two cases.
The Diallo officers all but vanished before their trial. That by itself may not have helped their cause. But it surely did not hurt it.
Compare them with Detective Oliver, who may have the most explaining to do in the Bell case, having fired 31 of the 50 shots. On Sunday, an article and a photograph on the front page of The New York Post showed him in the company of two women, leaving a high-priced East Side restaurant where a friend had reportedly picked up an astounding $4,200 dinner tab.
Is any of this relevant to the case? Not really. But since when is life always about relevance?
If you're under indictment in a high-profile case, do you really want a prospective juror to wonder how it is that you're feasting on $65 Dover sole while he is sitting at some lunch counter nibbling on a grilled-cheese sandwich?

The three men convicted in April of the January 2011 Cinnamon Creek Apartment shooting in Redlands received life sentences on Friday.
Anthony Legaspi, 20, was sentenced in San Bernardino Superior Court to 220 years in state prison, while both Jose Lara, 30, and John David Salazar, 25, received 197 years.
The three men were found guilty April 29 in the deaths of teenagers Quinn McCaleb and Andrew Jackson and the attempted murders of Tequan Thomas, Jordan Howard and Antonio Puente.
Prior to learning their fate inside the courtroom of Judge Annemarie Pace, the mothers of Quinn McCaleb, Andrew Jackson and Jordan Howard read statements thanking the Redlands Police Department for apprehending the men.
Shanita Williams, mother of Quinn McCaleb, read a poem she wrote after the shooting in the hopes of reaching at-risk youth to prevent another senseless tragedy.
As she read, both Salazar and Lara looked away from the lectern where she was standing. Legaspi looked directly at her.
"In the blink of an eye, my whole beam was shattered," Williams said. "My whole heart ached so bad down to my soul. As a mother of two I was no longer whole,. " believe everyone, even a murderer, has the ability to change their course of life … and if the defendants don't have a relationship with God — don't delay. Ask for forgiveness."
Gail Howard, the mother of Jordan Howard, who was shot near an eye, asked the court to consider the maximum sentence for all three men, as did Georgette Robinson, Andrew Jackson's mother.
"I know that any sentence imposed today will not bring back our Andrew," Robinson said. "What a waste of a beautiful life and presence in the world."
Said Howard: "I am angry and I am mad as hell. I should be happy that my son is alive … but we live Jan. 5 over and over and over again. That night you destroyed so many lives, including your own family's, sitting right here. Right now I'm not ready to forgive you guys, but I'm praying that I do."
On Jan. 5, 2011, five teenagers were hanging out at a playground in the Redlands apartment complex north of Colton Avenue on Oxford Drive.
As they were making plans for the night, gunfire erupted.
Quinn McCaleb, 17, was shot twice in his lower back and the back of the neck. He ran and was able to make it almost 200 yards before he collapsed and died.
Andrew Jackson, 16, was shot twice, in the left buttock and near his right knee. He died about an hour later.
Tequan Thomas, 16, was shot once in the left leg. Jordan Howard, 16, was shot once near his left eye. They both survived.
Antonio Puente, 16, was not wounded.
The victims were not gang members, just friends walking through the area, authorities said. But the apartment complex is in Varrio Redlands gang territory, which the defendants were convicted of being associated with.
Authorities believed Legaspi to be the sole shooter, Salazar was the driver and Lara provided the gun, Deputy District Attorney Ron Webster said during the trial.
Legaspi had claimed that a group of black people tried to jump him earlier in the day so he went out that night looking for retaliation, Webster said.
Adrian Powers, the fourth defendant in the case, took a plea bargain last year and pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter.
Per his plea agreement, Powers, who was 16 years old at the time of the shooting, testified during the trial.
In addition to the counts of murder and attempted murder, Lara and Salazar were convicted of street terrorism. Lara was also convicted of accessory after the fact.
All three men are planning to appeal.

Put in a tough race due to redistricting, Rep. Kate Knuth, DFL – New Brighton, says she will not seek re-election to Minnesota House.
The state's new political boundaries would have pitted Knuth against fellow DFLer Rep. Tom Tillberry of Fridley.
"I am proud of the work we do together to make Minnesota an exceptional place to live," Knuth wrote in a press release announcing her decision, pointing to her work on environmental and energy issues.
"While I will not be seeking re-election, I look forward to serving my neighbors through this term. I will continue to seek out ways in which to contribute to making Minnesota, and the world, a healthier and more sustainable place. I consider myself lucky to love Minnesota, my home state, more than I can fully describe. My service, leadership, and life's work will always be firmly rooted in this place and its people."
Meanwhile, DFL Rep. Lyle Koenen announced he will run for the Minnesota Senate for GOP Sen. Joe Gimse's seat. Koenen was paired with DFL Rep. Andrew Falk who plans to run again this year.
Tom Scheck contributed to this report.

San Diego County
California, USA
Baxter the Therapy Dog, a San Diego area Chow/Lab mix who spent years providing care and comfort to humans at the end of life died friday October 23, at the age of 19 yrs old.
After a puppyhood of abuse, Baxter grew up to become a certified therapy dog with Therapy Dogs International, and enjoyed fame and fans world wide for his years of volunteer work at San Diego Hospice.
He gave so much comfort to so many that he was the subject of an award winning book, " Moment with Baxter:Comfort and Love From the World's Best Therapy Dog."
Many of those that knew Baxter believe that it was his own ailments that made him such a powerful companion and friend to hospice patients. The arthritis that pained him for so long during the latter part of his life, left him unable to walk. His owner, Milissa Joseph, helped him to continue his love and dedication by carrying Baxter around in a cart to hospice centers to the patients beds. Baxter was loving, caring, and loved what he did, all through his life, he shall be remembered and missed always for his love of mankind.
Specifically: A memorial will be held 7 PM Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 at San Diego Hospice & Institute for Palliative Medicine.

Could it be...
While I was in London, I had great hair. Good hair day after good hair day. I've been trying to reconstruct that but haven't been successful. Not even once. This morning, I realised that perhaps it had to do with the gelatine PT I tried... I'm just not sure if that's possible, date-wise.
2 April: Gelatin PT (followed by a rinse-out with only the smallest amount possible).
6 April: Low-poo wash, no conditioner.
12 April: Off to London.
14 April: Low-poo wash, no conditioner.
16 April: Returning home.
17 April: Low-poo wash in the evening (I never wash it in the evening because it takes forever to dry) because it felt all gunky and odd.
I'm not sure but I think I've read that some people only noticed the results of the gelatine PT after another wash. Could this have been the case with me as well?
Could it just have been the different water? I'm in the UK atm and my hair is behaving differently to usual.
That's not really likely, actually. The water is pretty similar to the water in the Netherlands (though it has an odd taste - I only drink bottled water there). Also, it looked best between my wash at home and my wash over there.
How do you like it in the UK?
if you want to be sure it's the PT, you should try it again... it has been a couple of weeks now since your last gelatin PT so you probably won't get overproteined
Thanks Neleke! I got new gelatine today and I intend to PT again tomorrow afternoon. Curious to see how that goes.
I'm from the UK - been living in Oz for 22 yrs and am just back for a holiday. It's cold!
Oh wow, that's nice! I study English Language & Culture so I basically have a fascination for the UK, for Australia (thanks to Masterchef Australia - wish they would finally broadcast season 4 in the Netherlands) and the US.
I did the gelatine PT again last Wednesday and so far, my hair seems to hold my curls much better. I also received AO GPB yesterday (finally!) and I'm curious to see how that goes. A bit scared as well because I noticed it contains some oils in the first five ingredients on the list and my hair hates oils. I'm still wondering why I didn't notice that whilst doing my research. It was only 6,- including shipping so it's not a disaster if it doesn't work out but so far, none of my new products have turned out well.
Anyway, glad to finally see that my hair indeed likes protein.
