Comprehensive Programs
With an ever-increasing shortage of qualified heath care providers, Lexington Medical Center recognizes that our community has a responsibility to educate the doctors and nurses of tomorrow. Our wide array of student programs include shadowing opportunities, service learning, speaking engagements, tours, internships, and Co-ops.
School-To-Career Program - Health Care Shadowing for Students
Twice a month on reserved days high school students are paired with a health care professional from their selected area of interest. LMC hosts over 200 students a year through a variety of diverse health care fields.
Service Learning
Sponsored by LMC Volunteers department and coordinated with the Service Learning Instructor, students observe the overall health care environment while receiving credit for high school requirements. Volunteer students learn how academics are applied in the workplace.
Sponsored by LMC Workforce Development and coordinated with the District Representative, high school students can gain experience in the health care profession that correlates with their career goals. Through their internships, students experience the rigors and rewards of health care. This non-paid internship offers students curriculum credit based on district requirements.
Cooperative Education (Co-Op)
Coordinated with the District Representative, this program exposes students to their selected career cluster. It is an opportunity to learn invaluable skills and apply them in a supervised environment. This is a non-paid co-op for high school seniors.
Partners is our Health Career Awareness Program designed to introduce the health care industry to bright, enthusiastic high school students of Lexington County – an intense rewarding summer program with a financial stipend.
Explore the many disciplines in health care through first hand, face-to-face, behind the scenes experience.
Speakers Bureau
LMC understands that students want to hear from the professionals first-hand. To fill that need, we join forces with local educators to bring heath care's realities and wonders to life in the classroom. Last year alone, LMC staff participated in over 500 educational lectures.
Teacher Field Study
To anticipate the future needs of the workforce, educators need to experience the rapidly changing world of health care. Through educational partnerships, LMC's field studies keep teachers abreast of new developments in the industry, arming them with current information to pass on to their students.
Teachers in the Workplace
LMC partners with Midlands Education and Business Alliance to introduce educators in a practical manner to the diversity of health care careers. Educators spend a week interning while learning the strengths needed to successfully achieve a career in health care and earn graduate credit.
Career and Science Fairs
Every year, LMC participates in each requesting educational institutions' Career and Science Fairs. Collectively, LMC works together with schools and promotes exposure of the multitudes of health care disciplines through the study of career clusters.

POCA, W.Va. -- Scott High guard Matt Dolan said his daily basketball workout includes at least 200 free throws. He was thankful for every one of those Wednesday night.
Dolan buried two free throws with 0.8 seconds left to lift the Skyhawks boys basketball team to a 53-52 upset of sixth-ranked Poca in their Class AA Region 4 co-final. That capped a wild final minute that put Scott back into the State Tournament after missing a trip to Charleston last season.
"I wouldn't want anyone else taking those last two shots," Scott Coach Nick Cabell said, "and he knocked them down."
Dolan had made two free throws about 30 seconds earlier to give Scott (15-10) its first lead since it went ahead of the Dots (18-7) 14-13 with about 6:14 left in the first half. The senior got to the line after Poca's Adam Sigman was called for traveling while trying to split a double team with about 43 seconds left. Then Noah Frampton fouled Dolan and the senior put Scott ahead 51-50 from the free-throw line.
Poca answered with 5.8 seconds left when Cameron Cottrill pulled down a rebound off a missed 3-pointer and found Frampton underneath the basket. Frampton's shot gave Poca a 52-51 lead. After a time out, Dolan took the inbounds pass from underneath Poca's basket and streaked the length of the court, getting fouled on a drive with less than a second to go.
"I was going to the hole," Dolan said as the raucous Scott fan base chanted, 'Thank you, Dolan,' behind him. "That's exactly what I thought. I said I was going to the hole right off the bat."
Poca had one last stab at the win, but Frampton's half-court heave bounced off the front of the rim as the clock ran out.
This last-second finish was nothing new for the two teams, who split the season series with an average margin of victory of 2.5 points. Frampton hit a jumper from the free-throw line on Jan. 11 to beat Scott 40-39, and the Skyhawks erased Poca's 10-point second-half lead to win 39-35 on Feb. 19.
Dolan made five of six free throws in the fourth quarter Wednesday to lead the Skyhawks with 16 points. Scott weathered sophomore Frampton's game-high 19 points and a Poca defense that forced 18 Skyhawk turnovers.

Cellar/Tasting Notes The blending consists of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot. An attractive, bright, intense carmine purplish red colour. The nose is finely perfumed with notes of spices, lovely ripe fruits and a hint of well- measured oak. In the palate this wine is quite round and juicy..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The second wine of the renowned 2eme Cru Classe estate, Gruaud Larose, Sarget de Gruaud Larose shows all the hallmarks of the great St-Julien wine, but with a fruitiness that makes it more approachable when young. Showing fresh cherries and hints of spice on the nose, the palate is well-rounded,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A strong effort for this estate, the 2006 Lagrange competes with the finest wines of the appellation. The oak is often excessive, but in this vintage, it is beautifully integrated, allowing the sweet cassis, licorice, herb, and spice box notes to dominate. Ripe and medium to full-bodied with..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "An outstanding effort, Branaire's 2007 exhibits floral-infused black raspberry, boysenberry, and mulberry notes as well as a decidedly blue fruit character. Attractive, elegant, and medium to full-bodied with beautiful fruit, density, and texture, it should drink well for 10-12 years."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Intense aromas of blackberry and smoke. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and long finish. Solid and tight. As it should be."
Cellar/Tasting Notes Great nose of blueberries, spices and hints of walnuts. Full body, with a lovely finish of well-integrated tannins and a long, long finish. This is structured yet all in finesse. Best in years.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Beychevelle's style is for elegance, and this wine epitomizes that character. It is sweet, soft, with light tannins, achieving a balance of black fruits and acidity, light in structure and depth."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 is similar to the 1996 Branaire, but with sweeter fruit. Coats the palate with beautiful purity, no hard edges, ripe tannin, and intense fruit. This elegant, layered, impressive offering will be at its peak between 2012-2025."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This classic, backward, tannic St.-Julien is made in the style of the 1996 and 1986. The 2006 Ducru Beaucaillou possesses a dense purple color along with a sweet perfume of graphite, black raspberries, cassis, licorice, and subtle toasty oak. Despite their prominent place in the wine's..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Very good ruby-red. Currant, tobacco, game and roasted nuts on the expressive nose. Full, supple and sweetly oaky. Also wears its oak more gracefully. Very long on the finish, with ripe, tongue-coating tannins."

Alterna Bamboo Smooth Kendi-Intense Moisture Masque
Ramsha S.NewarkHairBlackDry HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairSoft Smooth Hair!I had completely fried my hair in a very bad coloring experience a couple months ago so I was on the lookout for a good product that did exactly what it said it would. So I put this on for about 15 minutes after shampooing and lightly patting my hair with a towel. Let me tell you, my hair has never been so shiny and bouncy in about a year! This brought my hair back to life. I use this about once or twice a week and my hair is starting to look and feel so much more healthier, soft, less frizzy, and SUPER shiny!! I also love the smell of it! It has a very nice floral-y light smell to it. Overall, I think this is definitely worth the try and I would recommend it to anyone who has damaged hair and needs to bring it back to life!posted Oct 30, 2012Link to this post

Rhodes: 2012 season has been 'mentally draining'
But individual accomplishments only go so far for a player with Rhodes' NFL experience. After getting a chance to taste postseason play in 2009 when the New York Jets made it to the AFC Championship game, Rhodes admittedly doesn't want to settle for anything less at this point in his career.
With the Cardinals sitting at 5-10 with only one game remaining this season, it seems Rhodes will begrudgingly have to head to the off-season several weeks earlier than he had originally planned.
And on Monday, he let his feelings be known about the team's underwhelming season to date.
"It's mentally draining more than anything," Rhodes said. "When you go through a season like this, your aches hurt a little more and your body doesn't feel as good. It takes a toll on you in every way possible."
While Rhodes' tremendous season has certainly aided the Cardinals' defense -- ranked No. 4 in the NFL in takeaways -- it will all be for naught in 2012, as the team is headed to its third straight campaign without a winning record.
The former Louisville star candidly said that going through a season like the Cardinals are currently enduring has even made it tough for him when he leaves his day job behind.
"Even at home, you don't enjoy being at home," said Rhodes. "It's just tough."
If there is a silver lining to Arizona's woeful season, it's that Rhodes and Co. still have the opportunity to keep the San Francisco 49ers from winning the NFC West division -- something that looked like an absolute certainty just a month ago.
"The important thing for us [as a defense] this week is to continue playing like we have been playing," said Rhodes. "Play strong, try to fight and get a win.
"You put yourself on tape every week, that's how you get judged. So for us, it's important to come out and play well."
Rhodes is currently under contract through 2013, but in recent weeks it's been reported that he and the organization are in the process of working out terms for a two-year extension.

Alright, I'll post about something besides Milkshake soon (egg cream?), but I wanted to share this photo of our favorite local kids' band at the Grammy's (and take special note of bassist Cord Neal's Edgar Allen Poe t-shirt, representing our patron literary giant).
While they lost out to Ziggy Marley (see previous entry), the band says they had a great time. "Milkshake is happy to be back in Baltimore, but, geez, what a fun weekend," they said in a message poated on their Facebook page.

This title in other editionsOther titles in the Remembering Tomorrow series:Neuromancerby William Gibson
AwardsWinner of science fiction's "Triple Crown" — the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick awards
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Case was the sharpest data thief in the Matrix, until an ex-employer crippled his nervous system. Now a new employer has recruited him for a last-chance run against an unthinkably powerful artificial intelligence. With a mirror-eyed girl street-samurai riding shotgun, he's ready for the silicon-quick, bleakly prophetic adventure that upped the ante on an entire genre of fiction.
Review:"Kaleidoscopic, picaresque, flashy and decadent...an amazing virtuoso performance." The Washington Post
Synopsis:The Matrix is a world within the world, a global consensus- hallucination, the representation of every byte of data in cyberspace . . . Case had been the sharpest data-thief in the business, until vengeful former employees crippled his nervous system. But now a new and very mysterious employer recruits him for a last-chance run. The target: an unthinkably powerful artificial intelligence orbiting Earth in service of the sinister Tessier-Ashpool business clan. With a dead man riding shotgun and Molly, mirror-eyed street-samurai, to watch his back, Case embarks on an adventure that ups the ante on an entire genre of fiction. Hotwired to the leading edges of art and technology, Neuromancer ranks with 1984 and Brave New World as one of the century's most potent visions of the future. Synopsis:In celebration of its ten-year anniversary, cyberpunk classic Neuromancer comes to hardcover, with an all-new introduction by the author. "Freshly imagined, compellingly detailed and chilling in its implications".--New York Times. "The first novel to win SF's triple crown--the Hugo, the Nebula, and Philip K. Dick awards".--Time.

Depending on where you live, debt collectors may be legally entitled to take your entire paycheck, house or car and completely clear out your bank accounts.
Families in the District of Columbia have a better chance of holding on to their vehicles than those in Maryland and Virginia. Yet Washington residents could have 25 percent of their wages transferred to a creditor.
In a report released Thursday, the National Consumer Law Center surveyed the patchwork of state "exemption laws" meant to protect struggling families from losing everything to creditors. The advocacy group found that few places met its five basic standards for protecting consumers — preserving at least $1,000 in a bank account as well as barring creditors from seizing vehicles, household goods, homes and most wages.
Only Massachusetts and Iowa came close to meeting those standards, each receiving a B-plus grade. The District of Columbia earned a B-minus for its fairly strong consumer protections, while Maryland and Virginia both received D's.
The District of Columbia prevents creditors from seizing anyone's home, but Maryland only protects homes worth up to $6,000. That's $1,000 higher than Virginia's limit, according to the report.
"I can't compare our laws to other states, but we have taken major actions to ensure those laws are enforced and worked with the courts to reform their rules for these lawsuits," said Mark Kaufman, Maryland's commissioner of financial regulation. Officials in Virginia had not reviewed the report by press time.
Christopher Weaver, associate commissioner for banking in the D.C. Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking, said the agency "plans to confer with the District's consumer affairs department and the D.C. Council about better protecting families' wages."
In some states, weak exemption laws simply reflect a failure to update statutes on the books, said NCLC researchers. Pennsylvania, for instance, protects Bibles and sewing machines, but has no coverage for household goods of more than $300.
"Almost all states exempt a pair of cows and an ox, but they haven't exempted computers or a car that actually works," said Robert Hobbs, deputy director of NCLC. "This is a call for states to update these laws."
Federal laws, he noted, mainly address personal bankruptcy, leaving states to ensure that residents do not wind up destitute as they try to pay off their debts. Hobbs said some states are updating their laws in piecemeal fashion, protecting a larger portion of wages but not cars, for instance.
"It's sort of like squeezing a balloon. They might be protecting the car, but the money in the bank account to make the car payments is wiped clean," Hobbs said. "States should be comprehensive in providing a foundation for families."
Exemption laws come into play when a creditor wins a judgment against a consumer in court. Creditors can then take steps to seize wages or property to pay the debt.
Members of the $12.2 billion debt-collection industry are critical of the restrictions consumer organizations want to place on their business. Industry officials argue that NCLC and other advocacy groups should put more emphasis on financial literacy than absolving consumers of their obligations.
"NCLC neglects to include any mention of the personal responsibility of consumers to communicate with creditors and debt collectors to seek solutions," said Pat Morris, chief executive of the Association of Credit and Collection Professionals, a trade group.
He added: "NCLC goes right to the lowest common denominator to incite fear — legal action, garnishment and repossession — which are actions of last resort by creditors."
About 30 million Americans have an average of $1,500 in debt subject to collection, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. In the wake of the financial crisis, state authorities and advocacy groups became alarmed by the tactics used by some debt collectors to get consumers to settle their balances.
A 2011 report by Consumers Union found debt collectors filing an increasing number of lawsuits against borrowers without proper documentation. In some cases, companies were suing people over debts that were already paid or winning court judgments without proof that they owned the debt.
California authorities, for example, argue JPMorgan Chase flooded the courts with lawsuits against credit card holders based on flimsy evidence that cardholders were in default, says a lawsuit filed in May by the state's attorney general.
Federal regulators have been investigating whether the nation's biggest banks used flawed documents and incomplete records to collect on delinquent credit card debts. Meanwhile, a group of 13 state attorneys general is also looking into the actions of banks as well as companies that buy defaulted debt and collect the proceeds for themselves.

You have to be a member of the LP Underground. There has been a delay, that we apologize for and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Go to LPUnderground.com
You have to chose one membership. Both are annual, the one is $25 and the other $60. The difference is that the $60 one comes with a merchandise package and other benefits. You should check those on the website.
Hi Rositsa, I saw your reply... Does "the delay" mean that there will still be tickets available for pre-sale again before they go on sale to the public??
Cape Town Stadium is already up.
Hi has the pre-sale for Cape Town been closed?
I guess, yes, it was open yesterday. Maybe it's because the tickets has been put on sale already.
Hey does anyone know why there is no option for presale tickets. I'm trying my best to buy for the CT concert :( :(
I think pre-sales ended 24hours before the tickets opened to the public for either show..... ie. 9am this morning for CT :/p>
Wow thats very scary omg!I hope i get tickets good lord!

This portraitback to top
This panel, perhaps cut down from a larger work and, when it was acquired by the Gallery in 1973, spliced down the middle, shows him with eyes that are quizzical and intelligent. The handling of the paint in this portrait suggests that the artist was directly copying another work, possibly a portrait by William Scrots that is now lost.

ET's Chris Jacobs sat down with Hugh Hefner inside the library of the famed Playboy Mansion for an intimate fireside chat about his runaway bride Crystal Harris. What made her "skip" off the bunny property before her wedding to the publishing tycoon?
Hef sees the situation a lot more clearly "in hindsight," admitting that their vast age difference was probably a contributing factor, though he expects more truth to unravel as time goes on. He questions himself, "What was I really thinking?" When lawyers started getting involved to discuss a prenuptial agreement, "things started to get sour." By calling the wedding off, Hef wholeheartedly believes he "missed a bullet" over an inevitable split.

Loot System: Loot Council (Running a eqdkp system to back up decisions)
Raiding Atmosphere: Quality raids while having fun and a lot of piss taking!
Hungry for progress?!
Would you like to play in a stable guild?
Do you enjoy raiding with people who give their best?
Do you want to play in a complete community package?
Do you love World and Realm ladder competition?
Yes! Yes! Yes!? Then ScrubBusters is the guild for you. Our community is as important as our ambitions to us. We avoid people that just log in for raids, there is pretty much always something going on in ScrubBusters!
★ About raiding (Server time GMT+1).
We raid 5 days a week during progression[*]
Mon - 19.30-00:00
Tues - 19.30-00:00
Wed - 19.30-00:00
Thurs - 19.30-00:00
Sunday - 19.30-00:00
[*] During progression raids can be extended after midnight to 01:00. [*] During progression raids can be scheduled on friday/saturday evenings. Especially during the opening week of an instance release.[*] When progression is over we fall back to a very laid back raiding schedule (farm).
Note: This doesn't happen on a weekly basis but you should be ready for an extended raid should we feel the need to.
★ The Raiding Roster
We want a rather tight core with people that are rarely in need of a day away from raiding. The closer to 100% attendance, the better, during progression and farm.
We highly value people with the right attitude along with high attendance and excellent performance. Quality raiders will always feel rewarded in our community. Just as important is your team spirit; you play for the guild. ScrubBusters has a very competitive environment and you're expected to play your best at all times.
★ Recruitment
We are always interested in good applications for all classes. If you think you can perform better then someone in our raiding roster, please apply. Provide all detailed information required and earn yourself a full-time raiding position in ScrubBusters. You can also follow our recruitment needs on the website or on wowprogress. We generally answer applications within a few days. Sometimes followed by a non-formal interview on Teamspeak 3.0
★ A few tips before you think about applying
1. Maxing your character with the best professions, consumables and craftables is an absolute must.
2. Do not rush your application. Filling out questions with one word answers is not the way to go.
3. You will most likely be questioned in your application thread. This is because we want to know and understand more about you and your character.
4. Good attitude, attendance and performance is what distinguishes you between trialist and raider.
5. If your internet connection is unreliable, you should stop reading. If your computer shuts down every 2 hours, we don't want you.
6. This is most likely your first and only impression to our guild, be sure to make it worth our time.
7. Application will sometimes be finalized in a Teamspeak interview by the officers.
★ About our server, The Maelstrom
The Maelstrom is a medium population realm with a very multicultural flair with English as its central language. There is a strong PvE culture and active PvP business going on on both factions. This allows our players to enjoy every aspect of the game without huge overcrowding problems or server stability issues.
★ Contact ScrubBusters
If you have any additional questions our officers are available for a chat.

Why should we capitalize first person pronoun 'I' even if it does not appear in the beginning of a sentence? Why it is not the case for other pronouns?
The pronoun I began to be 'capitalized' around the middle of the 13th century. But this was not true capitalization. Note that it was long before the printing press: all texts were in manuscript. Before the 11th century, the letter i was normally just a short vertical line, without a dot. The j did not exist as a separate letter. When an i was written as a separate word or mark, as the Roman numeral I and the pronoun I, or when it was the last one of a group of i's, it began to be written elongated, as a j (without the dot). The elongation of the separate, single i was probably done in order to avoid confusion with punctuation marks. That of the last i of a group was mostly in order to avoid confusion between u and ii or between n and ii, which often look identical in manuscripts: from then on, such groups looked like ij and iij (but without the dots). I believe that this convention of elongating the pronoun I had already been established by the time the dot was first used. Because a long j without a dot looks much like a capital I—which has been written the same way since Antiquity—, it was later assumed to be a capital. (Incidentally, the dot was then usually written as a very short diagonal line above the i or j.) From http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=I : |
For reasons of typography. Minuscule "i" just gets lost. From the article in NY Times: |

I've been to a fair share of comedy gigs over the last few years but this one was easily the best.
Dorking Halls, whilst not a world famous venue always generates good crowds and Mack fed off it beautifully.
The opening was also one of the funniest and orginal i've… (cont'd) Rob from Leatherhead

Also, search your home for bits of square-footage that aren't being used, such as a crawl space under a staircase. Hire a handyman to add a small door and turn that empty space into a cabinet.
Consider changing your kitchen seating: Swap out chairs for built-in benches with hidden storage, then hide rarely-used items there.
Get hooked
"Seasonal things that inspire you should be left out as much as possible," Flynn says. "I use a ton of wall hooks in my spaces, mostly to be able to hang up favorite pieces of clothing, which add decorative flair to a room."
In a bedroom, a cluster of favorite flannel shirts can look great on decorative hooks, and the same goes for winter jackets. In summer, hang your favorite T-shirts or swimsuits on those same hooks while the winter items are put away.
This works well in kids' rooms and nurseries, helping ensure that kids wear their cutest pieces before the season ends and they grow out of them.
Use closets well
Maximize closet space by adding shelves up high if there aren't any, then keep a small stepladder in the closet for accessing high items, Luetkemeyer says. Add inexpensive, battery-powered lights to dim closets, and increase shelf space by adding a row of canvas hanging shelves.
In a guest room closet, if you have one, Mathison suggests using two rows of hanging canvas shelves -- one filled with items your guest may need, such as extra towels and soap, and the other left empty so your guest can put out some of the clothes they brought. Then use the rest of the closet for your seasonal things. It will be clear to the guest what space is theirs and what isn't.
If winter items will be hung in a closet, Flynn opts for "thick wooden hangers or sculptural modern aluminum hangers to keep the structural integrity of coats or heavy pants." For lighter summer items, Luetkemeyer recommends slim, foam-covered hangers that take up less space and won't let items like camisoles slip off.
Consider splurging on rebuilding your closets with exactly the shelving and hanging space you want: "This way, every closet in the house can work for all seasons," says Flynn. "We spend a ton of money on our cars and have garages built for them, right? Well, we spend just as much on our wardrobes, so why not invest in a space to store that investment?"
Roll out the racks
Mathison suggests keeping seasonal things like coats in clear plastic garment bags on rolling racks in a basement or attic. They'll stay clean, and when it's time to swap them with the opposite season's items in your main closets, having items grouped in garment bags will make it simpler to transport them quickly back and forth.
Rolling garment racks are easy to find and affordable, but it's important to choose good quality ones so they don't bend under the weight of winter clothing.
Mathison is also a fan of coordinated bins or baskets to organize smaller items (gloves, hats, swimsuits, goggles) in closets. It's easy to move these bins out of your main closet into a basement or attic during the off-season.
Pare down
Luetkemeyer points out that the change of season is a great time to identify items you don't use and get rid of them. Consider donating sheets or blankets you rarely use to a charity or shelter. Do the same with bulky winter coats and sweaters. You'll save space for seasonal items, and also embrace the meaning of the holiday season.

Springfield police chief asks for more helpSPRINGFIELD Springfield Police Chief Douglas Johnston has asked for extra officers every year for the past three or four years, but this year he hopes the Select Board will agree.
Johnston has asked for two additional officers in the proposed 2013-2014 budget, parts of which were released earlier this week by Town Manager Robert Forguites.
Johnston, the towns longtime chief, said in past years, the regions poor economy told him what the Select Board didnt have to.
But Johnston, faced with increasingly serious crime in town, including a downtown incident that led to a man facing an attempted murder charge in an alleged dispute over gang allegiance, is hopeful he has the towns support as well.
They want us to do foot patrol and work more in the schools, but to do that, we need more staff, said Johnston, whose 16-officer department is down two officers already.
Earlier this week, Terrick Craft, the Springfield man accused of the attempted second-degree murder, was back in court on bail review. But taped recordings of phone conversations Craft allegedly made from the state prison in Springfield caught him on tape saying he wanted to take over the town and that the July 9 shooting was just a taste of the violence the town faced. Craft is married to a local woman, and he had requested to be released to live with her in Springfield, along with her children. No decision was made on his bail request.
Craft, 28, who has lived in Springfield for four years, was heard saying, This little town, were taking over.
In a letter to the Select Board included in the proposed budget, Johnston said that he would create another lieutenants position, which in turn would free other officers from paperwork, and get more hours out on the streets.
These are our needs. Its got to the point, we can only do so much with what we have, Johnston said.
The crimes we are starting to see are getting more and more serious. Ive been told we should have one officer per 500 population. If that is the case, were two officers short, he said.
The department has 16 full-time officers, including Johnston and Lt. Mark Fountain.
This second position would allow for proper supervision and accountability of the police department, he wrote in the letter. The sooner these changes can be implemented the better the service we can deliver to our community..
The chief said Springfield is seeing an influx of out-of-state drug dealers, who can buy drugs in the metropolitan area and resell it in Springfield at four times the price.
Heroin is currently the illegal drug of choice in the region, he said, along with prescription drugs that people are abusing.
Johnston isnt the only department head asking for additional staffing: Springfield Fire Chief Russell Thompson has also asked for two additional staff, citing increasing demands on the department and the ambulance crew.
Forguites said it would be up to the Select Board to decide whether the town supported the two requests and could pay extra taxes.
He said that no other town departments had asked for additional staff, and in fact the town office had decreased by one employee in the finance department.
Theres no question that we can always use additional personnel, its a question of having to pay for it, Forguites said.

March 13 – Happy Birthday Mariano Duncan
By the time the Yankees signed Mariano Duncan as a free agent in December of 1995, the Dominican middle infielder was already a 32-year-old, 11-year veteran of the big leagues. The Yankees expected to play their rookie, Derek Jeter at short in 1996 and were going to move switch-hitting Tony Fernandez from short to second. They wanted Duncan to serve as a backup for both positions. That plan fell apart when Fernandez got hurt in spring training and was shelved for the year. Manager Joe Torre gave Yankee rookie Andy Fox every chance to win the second base job but the youngster could not get his average up to .200. Then Torre gave Duncan a try. He responded with the best season of his career.
Mariano hit .340 in 109 games that year. He became a leader in that Yankee clubhouse and his popular pre-game pronouncement, "We play today, we win today…dassit" became the slogan of that amazing club. When the Yankees won the 1996 Pennant and World Series, I was pretty certain Duncan would be back to start at second again in 1997. But George Steinbrenner did not feel the same way. He did not think Duncan was good enough defensively and when the Boss's feeling became public, Mariano was angry and demanded to be traded. The Yankees tried to grant him that wish by reaching a deal with the Padres that would send Duncan and pitcher Kenny Rogers to San Diego in return for slugger Greg Vaughn. When Vaughn failed his physical and the deal was voided, Duncan became even more vocal about his dislike for Steinbrenner. Finally, after the All Star break, the Yankees traded Duncan to Toronto. He played his final 39 big league games as a Blue Jay and then tried Japanese baseball for a year before retiring for good.
Yankee fans will always remember Mariano's great year in 1996 and he has a ring on his finger to prove it. This former Yankee slugger shares a March 13 birthday with Mariano as does this former outfielder who was the last Yankee to wear uniform number 7 before Mickey Mantle made it famous.

The Surgo quote, eh? I just kept it. It's been my sig for years. He said that kind of at a pivotal point in Gen 4... but I never got into competitive battling in Gen 4 at all, myself.
Whimsicott sucks mostly. It gets shut down by any Grass-type, particularly Saws, while its Subs are broken by the rising Cinccino. Also, it really fails at anything else other then attempting to annoy. Whimsicott is pretty useless and easily shut down.
Lol Whimsicott gets shut down by any grass-type. Bouffalant and Sawsbuck with Sap Sipper beat the shit out of Whimsi. Hell, I'm sure I could even beat it with a Level 1 BULBASAUR if I tried hard enough.
Hey man, I'm super sorry we couldn't get it done. I'm super busy with college stuff, so my timing is kinda weird. Sorry man.

Fender introduces its first ever multi-effects unit in the form of the Mustang Floor-a versatile high-performance floor unit that delivers pro-level amp modeling, effects and artist preset sounds in a richly varied wealth of musical styles. And you don't have to be a tech expert to use the Mustang Floor-it's easy to use right out of the box.
A natural offshoot of our Mustang series amplifiers (basically a Mustang amp without the power amp and speaker), the Mustang Floor is designed for a variety of applications, only one of which is a great multi-effects unit for any basic guitar amp that puts more than three dozen digital effects at your feet. It's also a modeling preamp with low-impedance speaker-emulated outputs for running direct to a PA system, a modeling preamp with line-level outputs for use with a power amp and speakers, a silent practice system with stereo headphone output and auxiliary input perfect for playing along with an iPod or other media player, and a fantastic tone machine for direct-to-digital USB recording.
Mustang Floor features include nine footswitches and a solid aluminum treadle-style control pedal, intuitive Mustang III control panel and LCD window, 12 amp models, 37 effects, 100 onboard factory and user presets, "individual stompbox" mode in which amp models can be bypassed, headphone output and auxiliary input, dual XLR and dual 1/4" line outputs with level control (outputs can be programmed for optimal response with PA system, power amp or guitar amp), chromatic tuner, and easy USB connectivity for high-quality low-latency audio output and interface with free Fender FUSE™ application. Fender FUSE™ software, included as a free download, offers on-screen parameter control, deep editing, "hidden" parameters, unlimited preset storage, easy firmware upgrades and additional free content from Fender, Fender artists and other users worldwide. Additional control available with optional EXP-1 pedal.
Connect this amp to your computer with free Fender® FUSE™ software. LEARN MORE

Got this to juice up my Frontman 212 a bit. So for the price of the Frontman and the Mustang Floor, I have all the cool tones, with more than enough power for a very reasonable price. I have the Blue Tolex covered Frontman, and it looks great and wounded good before I got the Mustang. Very happy with this combination.
BigBillyC owns this item
Love the box. Tough as nails. Sounds great. Control layout intuitive while playing and easy to tweak presets on the device. The only reason I would not buy this product again is the software. It is obvious that Fender dumped a lot of time into making it look 'cool', but it is practically unusable. For example, you cannot do something as simple as re-order the presets by dragging them and dropping them. I had to write my own software to do that. Having been away from the manual for a while, I went back this morning to overwrite some presets and cannot figure out how to do it intuitively. This product would be 5 stars all the way of Fender would dump the Silverlight graphic interface and give me something that is quick, simple and intuitive.
Forbescraft owns this item
I have had this unit for about six months now and I like the features it provides. The unit is all metal construction and the buttons are heavy duty, unlike some other units like this. The amp models and effects are really good as well. I have been playing around with rolling back the volume on the guitar to clean up the tone and it works pretty well on most of the amp models. There are two issue that are bugging me about the mustang floor. One is when I set up an effects chain with the wah effect, when I engage it I lose a little bit of volume. Two, the gain from the USB port is not set at the same level across all presets. You have to go in to each preset and set the USB gain level. This not necessarily a bad thing, but it can be a little annoying to do it for each "preset". All and all this a very well built unit with a lot of features. Well worth the street price you can pick this thing up for.

I researched a few floor units before going with the Mustang. It's really easy to get up and running with this effects unit and it has a lot of features. There aren't as many sounds, etc as some of the competitors, but that's ok. There's enough to work with to get a variety of clean/OD/distortion settings that sound really good. Easy to edit on the fly. I'm looking forward to USB-ing it to my computer and possibly adding the expression pedal at some point. Great addition to the arsenal!

Comfort Food Suppers for Valentine's Day
Before continuing with my filming saga (yesterday's post), let's talk food. Tomorrow, after all, is Valentine's Day.
If you need some last-minute suggestions for treats, I have a few lighter (in fat and calorie), but intensely chocolate options from previous posts:
1-2-3 Bittersweet Chocolate Truffles
Vegan Chocolate Truffles
Mini Chocolate Cardamom Brownie Cupcakes
Chocolate Pots de Creme
But one cannot live by chocolate alone (although I would be delighted to lend myself to science to test the hypothesis), so I have two cozy recipes worth staying in for.
The first comes from the Comfort Foods episode of URS: a cream of parsnip soup, the signature dish of my friend and fellow contester Michaela Rosenthal. Here's the link:
Michaela's Cream of Parsnip Soup with Toasted Pumpkin Seeds
This is what I would want for Valentine's Day; Kevin would be less enthused with my spreading the love with parsnips.
But hear me out. It is a phenomenal soup. I've written of my affection for parsnips in other posts, so this was an immediate must-make when I watched the show back in January. It is heaven by the spoonful, and the seasonings are perfectly balanced. The first time I made it, I made no changes, but I prepared it again on Sunday and made three minor alterations:
(1) I substituted an equal amount of canned fat free evaporated milk for the half cup whipping cream
(2) I cut the amount of oil back to a scant 1 tablespoon.
(3) I left off the pumpkin seeds because, blast it, I forgot that I was out (I keep them on hand for snacking and topping off cereal and salads, and now, thanks to Michaela, soup). I wouldn't recommend this alteration of mine, because the textural contrast adds a lot.
It's a very healthy soup as is (parsnips and potatoes are both very high in vitamin C); the only reason I cut back on the fat was because I think I'm still making up for another Ultimate Recipe Showdown recipe I made back in January. I typically make myself a special dessert for my birthday (most often, cheesecake), but I couldn't get the winning dish--Cheese Lover's 5-Cheese Mac & Cheese--from the URS comfort foods show off of my mind, so I made that instead.
Wow. Wow. Wow. I can see why it won. But seriously, I think I gained two or three pounds that week from this dish alone (despite freezing most of it!)--I am not being facetious. Consider the key ingredients: 1/4 pound bacon (you don't drain the fat), 5 tablespoons butter, 2 cups heavy whipping cream, 2 and 1/2 cups whole milk, and the eponymous 5 cheeses. When I voiced a vague curiosity about the fat and calorie content while stirring in the heavy cream, Kevin's response was that such calculations should not be allowed for such a recipe, that it falls under the category of "don't ask, don't tell."
And while the dish was over-the-top birthday delicious, I am much happier with my lighter fare, both in taste and flavor, for how it makes me feel, and the benefit of being able to zip my pants. Case in point, my Smoky Baked Penne. I'm one for comfort food on Valentine's Day, but since we'll be down in Houston most of the day tomorrow, I made it last night. Enjoy!
Smoky Baked Penne
2 strips bacon, diced
1 small onion, chopped
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes and green chiles,undrained
1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder (more or less to taste)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
12 ounces whole grain penne, cooked according to package and drained (I use Barilla plus)
2 cups (8 ounces) grated smoked Gouda or smoked Cheddar cheese
1 cup fat free cottage cheese
1 cup lowfat milk
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs (or crumbled baked tortilla chips, if you happen to have on hand)
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 2-quart baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray.
Cook the bacon in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain, and pour off all but 1 tablespoon bacon fat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook and stir 4 minutes or until onion is tender, stirring frequently.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture, then cook and stir 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium; add tomatoes. Cook 3 minutes or until thickened. Add the cooked bacon, chile powder, cumin, cooked pasta, Gouda (or Cheddar), cottage cheese, milk, Parmesan, and egg, stirring until well blended. Spoon mixture into prepared pan and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Bake 25- 30 minutes or until bubbly. Makes 6 servings.

I saw your appearance on URS. You did a great job. Even though you had some troubles with your first recipe the fact that you handled the situation with grace to me says a lot about your character. Given how talented you are you many people with your same skill level would have been cocky or rude in that situation (just think about the characters on Top Chef) so it was impressive to me that you still acted so classy. Your second recipe also looked especially heavenly. Nice job.

I would love to try the parsnip soup recipe but can't get celeriac in my little town. Having never had it I don't know what would be a good substitute for it, flavor and texture wise. Any suggestions? Also thanks for your recipes and your "take" on some of the other URS recipes. I will try the Macaroni and cheese dish when my 19 year old son is home from Wabash College on spring break.

Less than two years ago, only a handful of cafes in Singapore served a cappuccino any coffee-snob would be happy to drink. But in a short space of time the city-state has been hit by a new wave of independent, boutique cafes. Singapore has of course long been home to the thick and sweet "kopi" style of coffee, which is traditional to the region, as well as mass-market franchises like Starbucks and Coffee Bean that seem almost as prolific as the city's hawker centers.
