The Suffolk County Department of Health is reporting four fresh samples of West Nile Virus in recent mosquito populations in Farmingville, as well as 21 other samples throughout Suffolk County. Two birds have tested positive for the virus also.
That brings to 57 the number of mosquito samples to date as well as eight birds testing positive for West Nile. The department is also reporting one human case. The infected individual has been treated and has made a full recovery, according to the department's release.
The positive tests are significantly higher than this time of the summer in years past, though authorities say this is not necessarily a sign of things to come.
"Though the number of mosquitoes testing positive is historically high for this time of year, we cannot predict if the numbers will continue to be high," said Dr. Tomarken, commissioner of Suffolk County Health Services. "There are many factors, such as weather, that affect mosquito population and activity. Given that the numbers are high and we are finding samples in virtually all parts of the county, we ask that residents be especially vigilant about reducing their exposure to mosquitoes whenever they can."
A department spokesperson declined to provide specifically where in Farmingville the samples were tested.
Earlier this month, , as well as Nesconset, Dix Hills, Amagansett, and Northport.
West Nile virus, first detected in Suffolk County in 1999 and again each year thereafter, is transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito.
The county has again asked residents to report any dead animals, especially birds, found on their properties to be taken and tested for the virus.
In order to help stop the spread of both the virus and the pesky insects, the County has suggested residents do the following:
- Dispose of tin cans, plastic containers, ceramic pots or similar water-holding containers.
- Remove all discarded tires on the property.
- Make sure roof gutters drain properly, and clean clogged gutters.
- Turn over plastic wading pools and wheelbarrows when not in use.
- Change the water in birdbaths.
- Clean vegetation and debris from the edges of ponds, and keep shrubs and grass trimmed.
- Clean and chlorinate swimming pools, outdoor saunas and hot tubs.
- Drain water from pool covers.
According to the SCDHS, "most people infected with West Nile virus will experience mild or no symptoms, but some can develop severe symptoms including high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness and paralysis. The symptoms might last several weeks, and neurological effects may be permanent."
To report dead birds, call the West Nile virus hotline in Suffolk County at 631-787-2200, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
To report mosquito problems or stagnant pools of water, call the Department of Public Works' Vector Control Division at 631-852-4270.

Donald (Don) and Linda Mohler's 75-year-old home in the heart of old Catonsville can't help but hold memories as it was once the home of Don's grandparents. But venture down the steps to a knotty-pine-paneled rumpus room of a certain era and you will find the walls filled with memories the couple can call their own.
More than 30 "official Broadway window card posters," in show biz lingo, line the walls and an adjacent hallway. "We are attached to them because they really truly do represent different phases of our lives," said Don, surveying the collection.
The couple met while undergraduates at Western Maryland College, now McDaniel College. Their first Broadway show together was "Grease," in 1971, the year they married. In those days, it wasn't uncommon for the couple—joined by Don's college roommate and his wife—to see three Broadway shows in a weekend. "We would stand in the ticket line or take standing-room-only; anything we could do to see three plays," said Don.
There is no poster for "Grease" or other shows from the early years.
"We were young and poor and didn't have money to buy a poster," laughed Linda. They were hard-pressed to have money for dinner. Their trick was to find well-known bars where you enjoy a happy-hour buffet for the price of a couple of drinks. A favorite watering hole was Molly Mogg's, no longer there.
One that remains is Joe Allen's, where the poster-bedecked walls caught their eye but they were curious why they had never heard of any of the shows. "In order to get your poster hanging in Joe Allen's," said Don, "you had to be so bad that you closed on opening night."
The posters in their collection came from a shop in Shubert Alley. Usually they stop in before the show, order a poster and then pick up the framed piece directly after the performance ends. Instant gratification.
Music was always a part of their lives so the couple was determined to pass along their cultural experiences to their two children. They took their son and daughter at a young age to see "Starlight Express," which they figured to be a hit since it was performed on roller skates.
"They were bored out of their minds," said Linda. Instead, they have shared their passion with like-minded friends.
They recalled seeing "Spamalot" with the Methodist minister who married them and his wife. David Hyde Pierce's cousin was a member of his church and secured backstage passes for the four of them to meet the star, who had just completed his successful run on the TV hit, "Frazier." So star-struck, they neglected to mention it. "He probably thought he was taking to four buffoons," said Don.
Over the years they have had the chance to see many legendary performances: Ben Vereen in "Pippin" and Joel Grey in "Cabaret," to name just two.
Said Don, "One of the reasons that we kept going was that no matter how good the touring show was, it couldn't replicate the staging and the energy of the Broadway show." They cite one exception: the production of "Jersey Boys" at the Hippodrome, which both deemed better.
Besides similar tastes in music, Don and Linda have shared careers as educators. Linda retired this past June as the French teacher at Catonsville High School. She previously taught at Lansdowne, Carver Center and Franklin. Don left Catonsville High School as principal in 1995 to take a position in central administration, Baltimore County Schools. Currently, he is chief of staff to the Baltimore County Executive.
Not surprisingly, they have accompanied students on field trips to New York. Don recalled one memorable trip when principal of Sparrows Point Middle School. Chaperoning 40 eighth graders to a performance of "Tommy," they had briefed students on how to behave, how to dress, but neglected one key element. Unlike a neighborhood movie, theater tickets are for a specific seat. Don said the next thing they knew, just before the curtain was set to rise, ushers were scurrying to relocate dozens of kids who chose to sit wherever they pleased.
The couple once found themselves in primo seats by serendipity. A revival of "Oklahoma" starred Rheba McEntire, which a friend said was a "must-see" because of her. Upon discovering she was on hiatus, they pleaded successfully for a refund. Noticing that the St. James Theater's marquee advertised a new musical in preview, with Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane, they choose to go. Arriving at the box office, they were told someone had turned in two front row tickets, close enough to touch the performers on stage. So it was that they had a chance to be among the first to see "The Producers," one of the longest-running hits of all time.
But sometimes orchestra seats aren't the best seats in the house. Balcony seats for "Phantom of the Opera" proved better because of the staging. And, they chose standing room for "The Lion King," again on a friend's recommendation, as those patrons alone had an up-close view of the parade of costumed animals en route to the stage.
Forty years after their first Broadway experience together, the couple finds musical theater as enjoyable as ever. That is why, on the heels of their 40th wedding anniversary, Don and Linda went by bus to a Wednesday matinee of the runaway hit musical, "Book of Mormon." Their verdict: "Outstanding."

Olympus and the dark depths of Hell to seek revenge on those who have betrayed him.

In 1915, Alice Duer Miller published this parody of the critics of woman suffrage efforts.
Why We Don't Want Men to Vote
Because man's place is in the army.
Because no really manly man wants to settle any question otherwise than by fighting about it.
Because if men should adopt peaceable methods women will no longer look up to them.
Because men will lose their charm if they step out of their natural sphere and interest themselves in other matters than feats of arms, uniforms, and drums.
Because men are too emotional to vote. Their conduct at baseball games and political conventions shows this, while their innate tendency to appeal to force renders them unfit for government.

By food-dehydrator.com
When evaluating and reviewing food dehydrators, the following product features and functionality should be considered and compared across different units and brands.
One way to compare different brands of food dehydrators, that contain similar features, is to review the food dehydrators on a price per square foot of total drying area (total price divided by total drying area) while also considering the brand, reputation and product reviews of the dehydrator units that are being considered. You can review different brands of food dehydrators, which have different product features, using the same price per square foot of total drying area and then personally decide if additional features are worth the extra cost per square foot of drying area.
Vertical air flow food dehydrators have their heating element and fan located at the base of the dehydrator. The drying trays that hold the food are stacked on top of the base. Because the drying trays and food are stacked on top of the heating element, drying temperatures can vary between the top and bottom food drying trays. Vertical air flow dehydrators may require a swapping of top and bottom drying trays, during the dehydrating process, so that an even drying effect is achieved across all the food and drying trays. Nesco American Harvest food dehydrators, L'Equip dehydrators and Ronco food dehydrators incorporate vertical air flows in their dehydrators.
A food dehydrator without a thermostat will dehydrate at a constant, unchanging heat, but at a potentially increasing temperature inside the dehydrator. This can cause case hardening; food with a dry outside but with moisture and potentially bacteria on the inside. Some of the lower priced units from Ronco dehydrators and Nesco American Harvest food dehydrators do not have adjustable thermostats included on their units.

Visitors to Christopher Morley Park may be witnessing the dawn of a new tennis experience. As part of Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano's initiative to launch public/private partnerships, Christopher Morley Tennis, a private club owned and directed by local pro Cory Parr, is nearing the final stages of construction.
"We won the bid to build a tennis center at Christopher Morley Park," Parr said.
The facility will be housed on the south end of the park, at 500 Searingtown Rd. in Roslyn. Parr had originally hoped to open in September, "but realistically right now we are guaranteeing a January 1 opening," he said, adding that he may be ready for a "soft opening" with five courts in October or November.
Meryl and Stephen J. Gassman of Manhasset will be honored at the Nassau County Bar Association's annual WE CARE Fund Stephen W. Schlissel Golf and Tennis Classic to be held Aug. 5 at Tam O'Shanter Golf Club in Brookville and The Mill River Club in Oyster Bay. One of the largest social gatherings of Long Island's legal community, the WE CARE Classic attracts lawyers, judges, law students and business and civic leaders raising funds for local charitable causes. The funds raised are distributed through grants to improve the quality of life for children, the elderly and others in need throughout Nassau County. In the 25 years since the founding of WE CARE, Nassau County attorneys have raised $3 million for more than 100 local charitable causes.
Politicians, former athletes and other notable figures came out to the Old Westbury Golf and Country Club recently for the Marty Lyons Foundation's 28th Annual Celebrity Golf Classic.

So far it has made more than 7,000 wishes come true, including trips to Disney, shopping sprees, a swim with dolphins and face-time with celebrities and heroes.
Growing up with three older brothers, it wasn't hard for Brian Gaffney to find someone to play one-on-one basketball with in the driveway as a kid. That's where it all started for the graduating senior out of Mineola High School, and he hasn't stopped since.
Gaffney started playing in youth sports leagues as a kid before entering high school, where his natural athletic ability started to impress both students and adults throughout the school district. He got a jump-start to playing high school sports for the Mineola Mustangs when he was brought up to play point guard for the junior varsity boy's basketball team as an eighth-grader.

Samantha Nadel of Glen Head competed in the 6K Junior Women's Race at the 40 IAAF World Cross Country Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland this spring. In her first international competition, she came in 44 out of 86 participants, with a time of 20:30.
The USA team finished sixth out of 15 teams. She and her teammates qualified to represent the USA in February at the 2013 USA Cross Country Championships. Nadel just completed her freshman year at Georgetown University, where she runs on the cross country and track teams. This spring, she was also inducted into the National Society of Collegiate Scholars.
Nadel is a graduate of North Shore High School, where she led the cross country team to two state titles.
Three years on the sidelines with a bad hip and two surgeries later, 65-year-old Bob Litwin, one of the North Shore's most accomplished tennis players, is ready to lead the United States Grand Masters Team as its player/coach in the 19th World Maccabiah Games in Israel in July.
Litwin, a member of the Eastern Tennis Hall of Fame, has won the International Tennis Federation World Championship, 14 United States Tennis Association National titles from 1991 to 2007 and was ranked first in the over 55 years old bracket in 2005. He grew up in Great Neck, starring at Great Neck South High in tennis and basketball and lived in Port Washington for 23 years before moving to Glenwood Landing to develop his Focus Institute.

Large Genie Christmas Tree Stand
This tree stand is excellent. It holds the tree firmly and straight. It takes two people; one to hold in position, and one to operate the foot lever. Remember to position the foot pedal toward the back so it doesn't show when the tree skirt is applied.

The best tree stand they ever made!
I have bought 2 as gifts in the past. I recently bought one for myself because the last one lasted 8-10 years till the cable rusted. A little pricy but well worth the trouble of other stands. I hated getting under the tree and screwing in the screws and trying to position it just right. This stand lets you put it in and with a few pumps with your foot the cable wraps itself around the trunk to a secure hold. If it's a little off center, no problem as you can instantly release the cable and reposition with a quick fix. This product needs to be in every store at Christmas for anyone looking for an easier way to set your tree in a stand. I was just happy to find it again.

Texas cowboy Ron Woodroof's free-wheeling life was overturned in 1985 when he was diagnosed as HIV-positive. Bypassing the establishment, he joined forces with an unlikely band of renegades and outcasts and established a hugely successful 'buyers' club.'

Great acting, good line writing, but lacked well developed plot.
Well-made, well-acted character study about a complex man. As Woodroof was a real person, I'd hope that this film was a realistic account. I know Hollywood takes certain artistic license, but it would be disappointing if Woodroof's life and personality were as fictionalized as "Woodley" (below) claims.
I enjoyed this movie very much. The acting was well done, especially by Leto who was unrecognisable. Great performances all around.
Raunchier and a less compelling tale than I expected. I remember those bad ol days - this film just didn't capture the desperation or comeraderie of the times. Only made it 1/2 way through before returning it to library.
A better movie than I thought it was going to be. Based on the story of Ron Woodroof and his fight to live against the odds. I didn't recognize Jared Leto in this film as Rayon. He was amazing! He didnt get much PR for the film as McConaughey. It's good to know the FDA finally got it right.
Disappointing and offensive. Having seen my homosexual brothers and sisters advocate for HIV and AIDS treatment for decades, it is ridiculous that a virulently homophobic, whore mongering, criminal yahoo be portrayed as a "hero." Gay people are portrayed stereotypically, as well.
This movie is a waste of time. If we are to argue that it's just one man's story, read Ron Woodroof's biography. There is hardly a point of accuracy in this film. If he were alive, I believe Mr. Woodroof would sue the film producers for defamation of character. He wasn't even a cowboy, and there is NO evidence his sex life consisted of frequent visits to the lowest, cheapest prostitutes.
Knowing that this man never entered a rodeo ring, even the film's intended dramatic/sentimental ending is cloying: "One more ride on a bull before I die." Snort. I have to wonder if the intention of the project was simply to prove that REAL men get AIDS too. Pure propaganda.
Good anti-government (yes, anti-government) story of a man who wanted to heal himself without government dictates. Good story utterly ruined with vulgarity, pretentiousness and a grotesque Matthew McConaughey. True story yes, but could have been done so much better. And more truthful, especially that early on in the AIDS epidemic, political correctness trumped public health. So many deaths could have been prevented.
I agree with a lot of the previous comments. Mathew McConaughey is unrecognizable and excellent ....... and I'm not a big fan of his. Jared Leto kills it in a supporting role and may have even surpassed McConaughey's performance. The movie highlights the relationship between the FDA & Big Pharma and their common interest: $$$ (of course). Hopefully, the film will remind people that the gov't works for them, not the other way around.
Barely recognized Matthew MConaughey. I hope he did NOT injure himself losing all the weight he must have to play this part. Loved all the characters. Too much truth in this movie meaning not a comment on the film but wondering if we have changed that much as a society? The issues names have changed (AIDs/GMO food) but the FDA still seems to be just as useless 30 years later.....
Loved, loved, loved Jared Leto in this movie; I'm not a fan of Matthew McConaughey but he did a great job here too.

NoticesAdd a Notice
Sexual Content: Sex is shown, but not graphic and never seen directly. However, male buttocks are shown briefly, as well as several glimpses of female breasts and buttocks.
Other: Cocaine, heroin, and other drug use are shown; alcohol is drunk and cigarettes smoked.
Coarse Language: A variety of slurs and about 100 utterances of the f-word are used. The language is vulgar, but there's a purpose to this use of language; it's not used just for the sake of being crude.
Violence: A fistfight between two men lasts for three punches in quick succession. A man's damaged leg in an accident with heavy machinery is also covered in blood. Both of these scenes are very brief and violence is not a concern in this film.
Frightening or Intense Scenes: There are a few angry outbursts and suffering is consistent throughout the film. The subject matter itself (as well as McConaughey's transformation for the role) may cause viewers to feel uncomfortable.
QuotesAdd a Quote
Judge: The constitution,
specifically the Ninth Amendment,
does not state that
you have the right
to be mentally healthy
or physically healthy.
It does state
that you have a right
to choose your
own medical care,
but that is interpreted as
medical care that is approved
by the Food and
Drug Administration.
Regarding the FDA, the court is highly
disturbed by its bullying tactics
and direct interference with
a drug whose own agency
has found to be non-toxic.
Judge continued: The FDA was formed
to protect people,
not prevent them
from getting help.
The law doesn't seem to make
much common sense sometimes.
And if a person has been found
to be terminally ill,
they ought to be able to take just
about anything they feel will help,
but that's not the law.
Mr. Woodroof, I'm moved to
compassion by your plight,
but what is lacking here is
legal authority to intervene.
I'm sorry, this case
is hereby dismissed.
Ron: You said I'd be dead in 30 days,
well, howdy xxyyzz' doody,
because it's a year later, and look who's still here.
"I've been looking for you, lone star."
"Screw the FDA. I'm gonna be DOA."
"Relax, I don't bite. I guess you're handsome, in a Texas, hick, white trash, dumb kind of way."
"Sometimes I feel like I'm fighting for a life I ain't got time to live."
"Y'all are up there afraid that we're gonna find an alternative without you."
"Watch what you eat and who you eat."

Dallas Buyers Club - Official Int'l Trailer (2013) HD
Matthew McConaughey stars in DALLAS BUYERS CLUB as real-life Texas cowboy Ron Woodroof, whose free-wheeling life was overturned in 1985 when he was diagnosed as HIV-positive and given 30 days to live. These were the early days of the AIDS epidemic, and the U.S. was divided over how to combat the virus. Ron, now shunned and ostracized by many of his old friends, and bereft of government-approved effective medicines, decided to take matters in his own hands, tracking down alternative treatments from all over the world by means both legal and illegal. Bypassing the establishment, the entrepreneurial Woodroof joined forces with an unlikely band of renegades and outcasts - who he once would have shunned - and established a hugely successful "buyers' club." Their shared struggle for dignity and acceptance is a uniquely American story of the transformative power of resilience. Director: Jean-Marc Vallée Writers: Craig Borten, Melisa Wallack Stars: Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, Jared Leto

BROOMALL–The made several changes to the township's fleet of vehicles during a meeting on Monday, including the purchase of a new street sweeper and the sale of several old police cruisers.
The new street sweeper will replace the township's existing vehicle, which according to Director of Public Works Edward Cross was "an antiquated vacuum machine from 1988," that was no longer up to the task.
The Board of Commissioners unanimously approved the purchase of the new vehicle, which will cost $237,509.50. The new sweeper will be paid for over a period of three to five years, and has an expected service life of 15 to 20 years.
In addition to the purchase of the street sweeper, the board also approved the sale of three police cruisers, consisting of two Dodge Chargers and a Ford Crown Victoria.
The vehicles were described as "pretty beat up," and it is likely that they will be sold for parts.
Tom Murray noted that Ford no longer produces the Crown Victoria and stated that the police cruisers will be replaced by a different model. The Chevrolet Caprice is the most likely choice at this point, Murray said, though a final decision has yet to be made.
Along with the police cruisers, the township's old street sweeper will also be put up for sale. The Board of Commissioners estimated that the proceeds from that sale will be between $6,000 and $8,000.

---- — As part of the coverage of the upcoming Nov. 5 election, The Daily News will provide profiles of residents running for City Council.
Today's coverage focuses on Meghan Kinsey, who is running for an at-large position. Nine candidates are running for five at-large seats in the Nov. 5 election.
Residents will also elect councilors to represent each of the city's six wards.
Megan Kinsey
Age: 42
Address: One Griffin Court
Spouse: Brent, children, Christian, Gabriel and Asher
Occupation: Community Engagement Director, Greater Newburyport YWCA
Education: Bachelor of arts in communication, College of New Jersey and masters of arts in teaching, College of New Jersey
Reason for running: The candidate said, "I've been an active volunteer for a wide range of organizations and causes for as long as I've lived in Newburyport and I've seen firsthand how much of an impact citizens can have on improving our city by getting involved and sharing their time and talent. Serving as an At-large City Councilor will allow me to help out on a greater scale. After serving as chair for the Port Pride effort, as well as on the boards of the Newburyport Education Foundation, and the Greater Newburyport Mothers and Families Club, and on the recent Superintendent Search Committee, I will bring a breadth of experience and accomplishment to the City Council.
Position on the central waterfront: Kinsey said, "Development of the waterfront is a hot-button topic in Newburyport that has dominated the local political discourse although it is a topic that is not under the jurisdiction of the City Council. This leaves little chance for the kind of compromise that is essential for the city to break the current stalemate and move forward with this complex situation. In order for the city to bring this four-decade-old waterfront discussion to a satisfying end, we need a plan and we need to see that plan through. I am open to supporting a plan that gives us more of what we want, which from my conversations with people in the community is green space. The plan must also be self-funded and place no burden on the existing property owners. The plan must also complete the waterfront and hand it over to the city along with the funds to maintain it."
What can be done to improve the schools: Kinsey said, "The Port Pride campaign created such energy and optimism in the city. We had a unique opportunity, and we worked tirelessly to be sure everyone knew about it. We couldn't let it slip by us.
"Now we have a talented new superintendent who we need to empower to steer the schools in the right direction and bring back stability in our school's leadership. I am proud of the work we did as a Search Committee to find Susan Viccaro.
"Next, we need to continue to actively seek resources to bring our schools' curriculum up to date. We must prioritize foreign languages and improved technology. And we have to look beyond property taxes to fund these needs."
What would be a special interest for you if you are a city councilor: "I want to ratchet down the acrimony and discord over key issues like the future of the waterfront and the historical integrity of our city. I view these key questions about the future of our city as opportunities to be researched, considered, and then acted upon in the most beneficial fashion.
"By working together we can keep Newburyport a vibrant, dynamic city. I have a long record of working with varied groups of people and helping them find common ground on issues. I can do the same as a city councilor.

I havent written as many personal columns this year because, frankly, this year has been hard.
Some years bring you to your knees, I guess. Im not sure; Ive never had one quite like this.
Both of my parents have been dealing with serious illnesses, and Ive found myself suddenly caught in the sandwich generation, straddling the duties of caring for a parent and a child, juggling work and household responsibilities, crying at stoplights in the middle of the day.
It hasnt been easy. I didnt know I had so many tears.
The silver lining is that once youve endured enough parking decks, emergency room visits, scary diagnoses, tests, treatments, side effects and home health care nurses, the stuff you used to worry about seems pretty silly.
Like school track-out sessions. I used to say the word track-out like Jerry Seinfeld used to say Newman.
Its actually been OK this time, however. That could be because my 10-year-old son simply agrees with everything I say.
Were going to read every day, I swear, I say. You better be ready.
Or: You better get down here this minute! This is the third time Ive asked you. No more screen time for the rest of the day!
Youre right. Im sorry.
That boy has figured me out. Right when Im ready to unleash my frustration, dole out punishments and teach lessons, he shuts me down with apologies and agreements. Oh, I know there will be push-back and protests, probably very soon, so Im enjoying this while it lasts. When he gets unruly, I threaten track-out camp, and that gets him back in line.
Occasionally, Ill add Go clean the bathroom! And he does that, too. Im particularly enjoying that little bonus.
With so much else on my plate, maybe Ive learned to relax a little about what hes doing and not doing. As my sister said, Just enjoy him.
And if he plays too many video games a few days during track-out while I work, so be it. That sounds bad, but there it is. We do a lot of productive, efficient stuff, and some days, I just need a break.
My husbands been amazing picking up the slack and letting me dissolve when I need to. One day he rescued me from the hospital parking lot. I had a dead battery, and it just about sent me over the edge after being in the emergency room all night.
He gave me a big hug and let me wipe my face on his shirt.
Go home and go to bed, he told me. I did. Right after I ate a big bowl of ice cream. So there.
Another bright spot: Madge. Our 10-month-old Great Pyrenees/black Lab mix weighs 80 pounds now. Madge, the $100 shelter dog that ended up needing a $1,300 surgery at 8 months old, but, oh my, how I love that dog.
Its sinful how much I love that dog. She had to wear the cone of shame after her surgery. We couldnt bear to make her sleep in her crate with the cone on. Her book, How to Go From the Crate to the Bed in Six Weeks should be out soon.
Shes a bed hog, and her heft numbs my legs regularly. She eats my son. She chews the laundry while I fold it, and Ive lost one phone charger and four pairs of shoes to her pearly puppy teeth. But that dog follows me with her big cow eyes and sits with me when Im sad. And when Im happy.
And she rides in the car with me and looks at me adoringly, and its just too much. Too much blessing in one dog.
I walk her every day. Some days well pass by a farm with big black cows grazing by the road, and she just knows she is one of them; shes just a little smaller, but otherwise they look the same. And she cranes her head in their direction until she cant see them anymore.
Maybe next time, I tell her.
And now, look how long Ive gone on when I didnt know where to start. Maybe thats what counting blessings is all about taking our mind off the hard things and focusing on those things that help us endure.

A few tips will help you to end your battle with pimples. Here is some useful information to help you care for your skin and get rid of those unwanted blemishes.
Tea Tree Oil
In an effort to get clear skin that is pimples free, you may want to think about putting tea tree oil on the spots that are zits prone. A natural astringent, tea tree oil will not dry out your skin.
You could greatly reduce your body pimples with these tips. Sweat agitates body acne, so make sure you shower often, and use a body wash that is medicated.
Have you given up trying to do anything about your acne problem? Airborne allergens can also contribute to your zits problems. Lastly, avoid stress. The hormone responses caused by stress can further invite irritation.
Minimize irritations in the skin that may cause zits breakouts. Avoid touching your face unnecessarily with dirty hands. Change pillowcases regularly so that the oil and dirt on them does not irritate your face.
Most people don't think of cell phones as a contributor to zits breakouts. Cellphones get deposits of facial and hair oils on them, and your facial skin picks these up every time you use your phone. You can avoid this by wiping your phone off with alcohol. It's also helpful to avoid letting your skin touch the phone when using it.
Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated, and reduce pimples. Stay hydrated every day. The most commonly recommended amount is about six to eight glasses of water each day. These cells, if left on the skin, can clog pores and cause skin problems.
Don't pick at your skin if you have acne. Popping your pimples will only irritate the skin more, causing the breakout to spread. Further, picking at the same area repeatedly may cause the skin to break open, which may cause scarring once it is healed.
Stress and tension can be the cause of your pimples. Take the time to relax and unwind during the day. Engaging in relaxing stress-free activities can be of tremendous help in getting pimples under control. If you do have a breakout, it is important that you stay away from cigarettes and caffeine.
I went from having terrible pimples to being zits-free, somewhat out of nowhere. As soon as I got rid of unhealthy food from my diet, my zits disappeared, and it can for you as well.
It's time for: Zits vs. Organs: Apocalyptic Struggle! Make sure that you properly maintain your organs. The harder you work to keep your entire body healthy, especially your organs, the clearer your skin will be.
Zinc is a good supplement to help you fight pimples because it is an antioxidant that helps fight free radical formation under the skin. If you have problems with cystic acne that produces facial bumps, take a zinc supplement each day which works inside the body to clear up the problem.
Good skin care requires adequate hydration. Try to consume around 64 ounces of water each day. As a result of lack of water taken in, dehydration follows. Skin that is dehydrated is unable to regenerate skin cells, which can contribute to more frequent breakouts. When your cells do not come off, it can make pimples worse.
Now that you have some great tips and information about how to defeat your acne, you should see a decrease in the number of blemishes that you suffer from. Take this guidance to heart, and avoid breakouts forever. They are effective for just about anyone, so don't hesitate to share these tips with others.

The Great Lakes of the North-Central part of North America contains twenty percent of the fresh surface water on the planet.
It provides an economic driver for two countries, including seven States and Provinces. Shipping supplies the industries that push up against the water's edge.
What is at Stake?
Commercial fishing is becoming more difficult as fish move in response to sediment and temperature shifts. The gravel bars that once held the eggs of game and bait fish now resemble roads built between the shore and small islands.
Old timers aren't telling fish stories when they loaded their boats full with multiple ton catches. There are pictures, color pictures, so this is not so very long ago.
Today a commercial fisherman has a good catch at a few hundred pounds for a full day of work, crew wages, and fuel. We won't mention loan payments and insurance because the fisherman is often losing money by leaving the dock before these expenses.
The huge catches of fish also attracted sportsmen who came for whitefish and salmon, pike and perch. These were excellent fish and many times a box loaded with ice and fresh fish would be loaded on the train by the fishermen and picked up at one of the urban stations to the south by happy family members.
This annual pilgrimage was in place before the second world war and it took off like one of the new jet airliners once families bought cars and explored the shoreline of these inland seas.
The industries that emerged from these activities were modern commercial fishing, and recreational fishing.
Commercial fishing on the Great lakes is mostly the same as marine fishing. The catch was small enough that most lake fish was consumed in the region and other markets preferred marine fish which was more familiar to fish eating cultures.
Recreational fishing now generates more revenue than commercial fishing with both industries measured in the billions of U.S. dollars.
The Troublemakers
Invasive species that threaten many of the regional industries and cultural practices have come in waves and generally thrived for a short time before exhausting resources and becoming less prevalent.
First there was the Sea Lamprey and Alewive. Both of these creatures made it difficult to enjoy the lake since the first is a raspy tongued parasite you don't want to meet while swimming. The second is a small bait fish introduced to feed salmon that were also introduced to the lake system.
These small fish did feed the salmon and catches improved in the 1970's but the fish also ate all of the native fish food as well so about the same time we had a huge loss of native fish. The Alewive would also die and pollute water and beaches as its life cycle ended every summer after spawning.
The second wave of invasive species came in the ballast water of ships.
The Zebra Mussel and Spiny Water Flea caused great economic harm. The Spiny Water Flea is an irritating and unsightly parasite of fish. The zebra mussel forms thick encrustations on any subsurface structure destroying native fish forage and hard infrastructure like water intakes where they needed to be removed with pneumatic chisels by divers.
The third wave of invasive species consists of three forms of large carp. The native carp can grow to over 100 pounds but these are hybrid fish bred for fish farms in the south. The fish are voracious eaters with a diet that includes just about anything it can swallow including mollusks, insect larvae, and small fish.
These animal foods are not on the menu of the native carp but they are eaten by almost all game fish at some stage of their lives. This has the potential to destroy commercial and recreational fishing if the species is not controlled. The fish have already entered Lake Michigan according to genetic testing so the next hope is the fish can be controlled with a barrier on the Illinois Ship and Sanitary Canal.

No matter what you might hear over the next few days, we'd never leave you for Austin.
Sure they've got great barbecue and music and… you know, on second thought… Nah. It's always a great day to be a Buckeye- and there's only one place in Texas that I'd be interested in going to anyway.
Buckeye 411
While the details are still coming out, I can't stop thinking about how amazing the situation in Cleveland was yesterday. We need more folks like Charles Ramsey who would be willing to get involved when it's easier to just mind their own business. Only one soundtrack possibility today, then.
Buckeye 411
Tuesday's news gave us two hall of fame suggestions for today's sountrack(s). And no, it's not Christmas music- we'll get to that later.
Buckeye 411
Buckeye 411
Today marks the sacred celebration of Festivus, so we here at tBBC have been prepping for the Feats of Strength- JoeD used to wrestle, Rob and Jason have Buckeye football backgrounds, but my money's on Jim… I think he brings a ton of tenacity to the table.
Anyway, another important Festivus tradition is the "Airing Of Grievances"… and we turn the mike over to our friend and investigative reporter Westy, who weighs in on the state of the sport in Columbus and beyond.
So what do you say now that the news has been handed down? The Ohio State University will be punished with additional scholarship losses, and most notably no Bowl game in 2012. If you're anything like me you spewed a line of almost incomprehensible obscenities and threats at your radio while driving back to work from your lunch break. But pause for a moment and take a look at the bigger picture with me, if you will. College football is broken. No not in this "everyone is cheating, oh heavens to betsy!… quick get Grandma off the roof!" sense of the word broken. It's broken in the sense that it's dominated by greed and money, and the game quite frankly doesn't matter anymore. Let me list for you a few of the plethora of reasons college football is broken…
The biggest source of sports news in the world is ESPN. This goes for college football as well. There are other sources out there (you're reading one right now), but if you want to talk the head honcho — you talk ESPN. ESPN has a financial contract with the SEC; a FIFTEEN year contract worth several billion dollars, to show SEC games on their family of networks. They are in every sense of the phrase, "in bed" with the SEC. Pause and think about that for a moment. The number one source of college football commentary, reporting, news, etc … has a vested interest in seeing only ONE of the eleven major college football conferences succeed. Am I the only one who noticed the conflict of interest there? Am I the only one who doesn't wonder aloud if all of their hardcore investigating into Ohio State, Penn State, Oregon, UNC, USC, etc, etc… is just a bit curious since they by in large ignored situations at Auburn, Georgia, South Carolina, LSU… How many of you can tell me what the cases even WERE at all four of those SEC schools?
Think for a moment if the President of the United States, (be it Barrack Obama, George W Bush, Harrison Ford, whoever…) had all of the major new networks on his side. Let's say that maybe those networks have a contract with the President, where they get to show his public addresses on their networks, in return for a huge chunk of money. No switching to Fox or to MSNBC for the opposite prospective, they both like the guy and dislike his rivals…. Does that make your stomach turn a bit? Does that make you wonder about the "slant" they're giving their information? ESPN is to sports, what MTV is to music, only ESPN doesn't air Jackass (although you'd never know the difference if you looked at their commentary line up, ahem, May/Holtz/Corso/Herbstriet/etc).

After a brief hiatus, we're back with another fantastic edition of the Buckeye Battle Cry Radio Hour, and it's certainly one you don't want to miss- a special "show me the money" episode.
Mali talks to "The Wiz of Odds", Jay Christensen from the blog thewizofodds.com. They discuss Jay's research into the financial realities of the college post-season, and the impact this has on the sport as a whole.
First up is none other than Mr. Jonathan Wells, Ohio State running back from 1998-2001. Jonathan weighs in with Eric on the recent Big Ten discussion of extra support for athletes, the current situation of OSU Football, and his perspective on Coach Tressel. He and Eric talk a bit about his take on Nebraska joining the conference, and he also lets us in on what he's currently up to, including his Record Label (From the Ground Up Records) and coffee interests.

TIMBERVILLE, Va. (WHSV) -- Fourth grade classrooms in Virginia are doing things differently when it comes to picking up a book.
43 percent Virginia's students have met or exceeded the NAEP proficiency standard.
Fourth graders at Plains Elementary School read in literacy circles.
Teachers said that having leadership roles within the groups holds students more accountable.
The goal is to get students to use critical thinking skills because those are incorporated more in upcoming tests.
"Instead of asking students what is, where is, who is sort of questions, we're asking our students to do more activities, answer more questions along the line of comparing and contrasting," said Johna McFarland, the Director of Instruction with the Rockingham County Public Schools
The NAEP proficiency standard involves a random sampling of schools.

Red, Black & Green Initiative at John D. O'Bryant African-American Institute
The John D. O'Bryant African-American Institute (JDOAAI) is incorporating the redblack&GREEN project, an innovative new campaign designed by JDOAAI staff member and N.U. alumna, Núrí Chandler-Smith, with strong support from Dean Lula Petty-Edwards. The goal of the project is to educate JDOAAI students, staff, and the larger community on issues of environmental sustainability and to implement sustainability practices throughout the Institute.
This effort includes: taking full advantage of RE-NU's award winning recycling program, establishing a commitment to buying recycled and environmentally sustainable products and services for the Institute whenever possible, reducing the Institute's overall energy consumption, and hosting a series of educational workshops, lectures and forums designed to educate students, staff and community members on ways that they can further incorporate "green" choices into their lives.
As a significant facet of West Village F, The John D. O'Bryant African-American Institute is already a part of the University's efforts towards increased sustainability through the building's use of a groundwater recharge system and energy saving motion-activated lights, which were included in the design and construction process.

Direct marketing budgets get a boost
|14 Jul 2011 2:23 BST
Also in the news
The results of the latest IPA/BDO Bellwether survey reveal a boost in direct marketing budgets.
Overall, UK marketing budgets are down in Q2 for the third consecutive quarter, but direct marketing budgets are up. Direct marketing budgets increased 2.5% in the three months to 30 June.
Internet advertising budgets are also up, but by a smaller have seen a drop-off (up 1.9%, compared to a 9.3% increase in Q1). Internet search also grew – by 4.6% - a slight drop from the 4.3% increase in Q1.
With 22% of UK firms reporting a cut in marketing budgets, it is clear that business confidence has fallen and the outlook for the economy is more pessimistic.
Speaking to Marketing Week Mel Cruickshank, chairman of IPA's direct marketing group said companies "are turning to direct marketing to provide return on investment against marketing spend".
Chris Whitelaw, chairman of the IPA's search group told Marketing Week that in the current economic climate, companies are looking to "immediate and efficient customer acquisition channels".
Andy Viner, head of media, BDO is more upbeat about next year: "Fortunately, the outlook for 2012 is looking more positive. There is certain to be an uplift in marketing expenditure connected with the 2012 London Olympics which will provide a welcome fillip to the marketing services industry after a challenging couple of years."

Chatham Sq Restaurant
I ate here last night-- so good! Having my small portion of leftovers right now for lunch. This is what we ordered:
Very tasty hot and sour soup (egg drop not as yummy) then boyfriend and I shared the snow pea greens with garlic (perfect, no too greasy, heaping portion), the house special Chilean Sea Bass (a crisp exterior and a tad sweet, served with delicious sauteed red onions), and the Szechuan spicy shrimp and veggies. All very good, nice staff, good tea, good experience. Topped it off with some almond cookie ice cream at the Ice Cream Factory on Bayard, made me love New York with a full heart on spring evening. Hooray for Chatham Sq !
Which Chatham Sq. Restaurant?
There are two, both with the same name in English, but totally independent... and each the opposite of the other. One is quite upscale, the other is very downscale (but good) I love both but haven't been to either in quite some time, so I'm glad for your positive review.
re: Brian S
I am quite sure OP was referring to Chatham Square (6). The service at Chatham Square 6 has always been very friendly and nice, much better than other Chinese restaurants (though during dim sum hours in weekends the place can be hectic).
The service at Chatham Square 9, not so much.

The True Source of Our Deficit Woes
Congress can't continue shirking its own rules and must address the country's deficit.
Ryan Alexander is the president of Taxpayers for Common Sense.
Under the terms of the Budget Control Act of 2011, across-the-board cuts to federal spending will go into effect if Congress cannot agree on roughly $1.2 trillion in spending reductions over the next decade. The cuts are known as "sequestration," and everyone hates them. The president, Congress, even us. They were originally designed as a type of doomsday device to force Congress into doing something about the undeniable problem of spiraling government debt. It didn't work. Lawmakers have been blaming each other for the country's fiscal mess ever since, and now sequestration is actually upon us.
It is easy to see why everyone hates sequestration as policy. It doesn't effectively address our long-term fiscal problems and what it does do, it does badly. Across-the-board cuts punish effective and ineffective government programs equally. Steep cuts to federal spending will be disruptive throughout the economy. And sequestration does little to attack some of the biggest items on the federal ledger, tax expenditures and entitlement spending, so even if it goes through, we are still in a deep hole.
[See a collection of political cartoons on sequestration and the fiscal cliff.]
While there are lots of things we can point to as an explanation for how we got here, the common thread is the popular, if unspoken, idea that we can have below-cost government. We love to get something for nothing—or at least get something at a steep discount. But the truth is goods and services cost money, and we can't count on having a federal government at promotional prices forever. We have been putting things on our national credit card without any plan to pay it off. In the last 10 years we waged wars in two countries, added a prescription drug benefit to Medicare, passed an economic stimulus worth almost $1 trillion, and doubled our yearly defense budget. During this same period we also lowered our own taxes, several times. Is it any wonder we now have a $16 trillion debt?
If we are going to achieve a government that lives within its means, we are going to need leadership from our lawmakers in changing this mindset. This is not a popular idea, so it is no surprise that our elected officials don't want to be the one to deliver the bad news. Instead, they just blame the other party. And rage against waste, fraud, and abuse. Waste doesn't get you trillion dollar deficits. The root of our budgetary woes is our collective failure to see the forest for the trees. If we want to increase spending in one area, it needs to be accounted for somewhere else, either by raising revenue or cutting spending elsewhere.
[See a collection of political cartoons on Congress.]
Lawmakers designed rules meant to help achieve this balance, such as PAYGO and spending caps, but then routinely ignored them by approving new spending through off-the-books emergency legislation and other gimmicks. Or by ignoring the revenue side of the federal ledger and only requiring offsets for mandatory spending increases, such as in CUTGO. And yet, time and time again we continue to adopt programs and policies—from crop insurance and flood insurance to the transportation bill—which have deficit spending built into them.
The fiscal cliff is the byproduct of this willful ignorance. There is no shortcut for making good decisions. And there is no time like the present to start.

Also, the worm has turned. Even a very tolerant person will one day lose patience. For example, He bullied his assistant for years, but one day the worm turned and he walked out without notice, taking along his best clients. This expression comes from the proverb Tread on a worm and it will turn, first recorded in John Heywood's 1546 collection.

Tuck Everlasting Aiming for May 2013 Pre-Broadway Boston Premiere; Casey Nicholaw Directs
By Adam Hetrick
The Broadway-bound musical Tuck Everlasting, directed by Tony Award winner Casey Nicholaw, will arrive at Boston's Colonial Theatre May 26, 2013, according to an Equity casting notice.
The new musical based on Natalie Babbitt's popular 1975 children's novel has a score by Burnt Part Boys songwriters Chris Miller (music) and Nathan Tysen (lyrics) and a book by Tony Award-nominated playwright Claudia Shear (Dirty Blonde).
The Boston engagement wil play through June 15, 2013. Rehearsals are expected to begin in April 2013. Tuck Everlasting's Boston try-out was previously announced, but dates had not been confirmed. Dates of a Broadway production have not been announced.
Book of Mormon director-choreographer Nicholaw will stage the musical about a young a girl who befriends a unique family that has gained eternal life by drinking from a spring that flows from a tree in the woods. Rob Berman is musical director.
Broadway Across America (John Gore, Thomas B. McGrath, Beth Williams), Howard Kagan and Barry Brown produce Tuck Everlasting.
A December 2011 reading of the musical featured Carolee Carmello, Michael Park, Andrew Keenan-Bolger, Rozi Baker, Fred Applegate, Marylouise Burke, Bob Fitch, Matt Shingledecker, Michael Wartella and Valerie Wright. Carmello, Keenan-Bolger, Burke, Baker and Applegate also took part in an April 2011 presentation of Tuck Everlasting.
According to the authors, "Good girl Winnie Foster's world has been safely contained behind the picket fence that surrounds the house she shares with her mother and grandmother. Yearning to break free, Winnie runs deep into the woods behind their house where she discovers the Tuck family and the secret they've been keeping. That secret sets Winnie and the Tucks out on an adventure that will test what they believe and challenge them to truly be alive, now and forever."

Y-12 gears up to dismantle B53 bomb parts
Brig. Gen. Garrett Harencak gets look at B53 bomb at Pantex Plant.
NNSA photo
Y-12 workers are preparing the Oak Ridge plant for upcoming dismantlement work on B53 bomb components, which are expected to begin arriving in the latter part of fiscal 2011 or early 2012. The B53 was one of the most powerful nuclear weapons ever built.
In an e-mail response to questions, Steven Wyatt, a federal spokesman at Y-12, said the plant's role will involve dismantlement of the "secondary" part of the nuclear weapon system. Y-12 typically dismantles the same components that it built orginally, and the Oak Ridge plant specializes in so-called secondaries -- the second stage of thermonuclear weapons made with highly enriched uranium and other materials.
The National Nuclear Security Administration recently announced that the Pantex Plant in Texas, the main assembly and disassembly facility for nuclear bombs and warheads, had come up with a new process and special tooling that would accelerate the dismantlement of the B53 bombs.
The new SS-21 process will allow Pantex to "safely and responsibly dismantle this legacy weapon," the NNSA said. Experts from Los Alamos and Sandia National Labs also collaborated on the new dismantlement process, the NNSA said.
According to information released by the federal agency, the B53 bomb was introduced into the U.S. nuclear stockpile in 1962 and played a key role until its retirement in 1997. The NNSA said the bomb, which was built at the now-closed assembly plant in Burlington, Iowa, was one of the longest-lived and highest-yield nuclear weapons ever fielded. The bombs weighed about 10,000 pounds and were the size of a mini-van. The B53 reportedly had a yield of 9 megatons.
The sheer size of the bombs provided a challenge in developing a dismantlement program, the NNSA said.
After the initial disassembly at Pantex, the secondaries will be transported to Y-12 for further dismantlement and recycling of materials.
Asked if the special tools and processes developed at Pantex would have an impact on Y-12's dismantlement role, Wyatt said, "The application of these special tools and processes will enhance Pantex's ability to accelerate the initial dismantlement of this system. Y-12 is scheduled to begin receiving components under this campaign in the late FY 2011 or early FY 2012 timeframe.
"We are already gearing up for this work, which will involve the dismantlement of the secondary that is part of this nuclear weapons system. This has involved preparing and updating an area at Y-12 for this work and the installation of additional equipment. The installation of this equipment is already underway and will be followed by readiness reviews to ensure that we are ready for the upcoming work with B53 system."
Does the B53 pose special challenges for Y-12 workers?
"Every dismantlement program faces different technical requirements and challenges. For the B53, the main difference and challenge is the sheer size and weight of the unit as compared to other nuclear weapons we have dismantled in the past," Wyatt said. "The B53 requires special handling equipment and tooling to assist the technicians in lifting and moving of components during dismantlement operations."

Table of Contents
- Some aspect of character or attitude that they want to acquire or . . .
- Some ability or attribute of yourself that they want to have for themselves.
- And OR they don't want you to have that 'advantage'.
These are relatively rare (or seem to be).
Others Stealing Your 'Power', Abilities or Personal Attributes
Shamanistic traditions mention quite frequently that someone may steal part of your 'power' and it's true both that this is possible AND that it happens at times.
I'd also say that we have to consider the 'power' term as a generic term for anything that we have that makes us feel strong, able or competent within or of ourselves which could be (and are) entirely different things to different people.
- Patience
- Strength & Determination
- Precognition
- Analytical Abilities
- Ability to Access other Realms
Having recovered some of these taken from myself and my clients then I'd have to say that of those whom took such material then some are skilled or focused enough to be able to do this personally while others have some energetic technologies to help them isolate the material that holds the attributes they want and then to 'extract' this from another and yet others have guides that are skilled in these areas and whom help to steal energetic material too.
I have virtually no experience of the latter two with either myself or my clients. Just enough to know this can be done in this way and those with this probably do this often.
Stealing or Taking Vitality or Energy
I suspect that the energy body has some energy frequencies or components that are more related to 'vitality' than to 'structure' AND that some people will be taking this and hence some people are seen to drain others.
I know that some people are doing this AND I know that some people are being made to look as if they are because others feeling this happening tend to avoid them. That is to say that SOMETHING not of someone but present with them can be making others feel drained in their presence OR actually be doing this to encourage people to NOT have much to do with them OR to avoid them. A couple of clients have had this done to them.
I've also found the opposite too in that a client had subtle energetic technology MAKING them feel that others were bad vibing them or draining them . . . this too was a great way of having this person avoiding JUST ABOUT EVERYONE at times.
Recovery of all soul fragments of all types is included as part of what I offer on this page here.
