If the Wilton Library does not own the book you are looking for, we can usually get it for you from another library. This service is called "interlibrary loan" (ILL). We can also get photocopies of newspaper and magazine articles through interlibrary loan.
How do I request an item? There are three ways you can request that we get an item from another library:
- You can complete a request card available at the Library reference desk; or
- You can complete our online book request form.
- Wilton residents only may request books directly through reQuest by choosing "Send ILL Request" from the drop-down options menu on the screen for the desired book.
How much does it cost? Most items which can be borrowed from other Connecticut libraries are provided free of charge. Some libraries may charge to photocopy an article from a newspaper or magazine, and we will pass these charges on to you. If we have to go out of state to get an item, we do charge a $3.00 postage fee in addition to whatever fees the lending library may charge.
Are there limitations? Most libraries will only lend books and other printed material through interlibrary loan, so we are unable to request movies, CDs, books on tape, and other audiovisual materials.
Are there other options? Through the ConnectiCard program, you may use your Wilton Library card at any public library in the state. Just make sure you take your Wilton Library card with you when you go, and you will be able to check out any materials offered at neighboring libraries. You can even return materials from other libraries to the Wilton Library and we will send them back at no charge to you.

When you follow a bad baseball team, it's not usually a difficult proposition to figure out why they are bad. Every bad baseball team is bad in its own way, but they are all bad, and if you watch enough of the games you will know why they are bad. Less of a simple proposition is for Orioles fans like us to figure out why the team was good this past year. There's no one reason, just lots and lots of little things piling up in just the right way.
One factor that contributed to the Orioles' poor play in the 2011 season was their heavy use of players who, measured by Fangraphs Wins Above Replacement (fWAR) were negative-value players. I looked at last season earlier this year and the thing that stands out is that the 2011 Orioles had one of the worst position players (Felix Pie) and one of the worst pitchers (Brian Matusz) - not a recipe for success. Not only that, but the Orioles had 1,670 plate appearances by players who provided no positive value (by fWAR) to the team, and had 264.1 IP by pitchers for whom the same is true.
The question is: how much did the Orioles correct this problem in the 2012 season? And if they did correct it, how much did it contribute towards going from 69 wins to 93 wins in one swoop?
A few words about WAR: the statistic is one that riles a lot of old-school baseball writers, who like to rail against people who "don't watch the games." WAR is merely an attempt to measure player value compared to a hypothetical AAA replacement. The specifics of it are not important for this article, only that I believe in WAR enough as a way to separate players for further consideration. The top 20 players by WAR probably make up most of the 20 best players - even if it doesn't tell us the order, 1-20, of those players. Certainly, you don't get into top 20 if you had a bad season.
By the same token, a player does not end up with a negative WAR if he had a good season. So we can look among all of the playoff teams and see which gave the most time to these players, and whether this is a thing that mattered. Particularly, it will be interesting to see how the Orioles were different as compared to last year.
One other note before the charts: year-to-year comparisons will be a little sloppy for the reason that, last year, I included 0-value WAR players to illustrate how much of a failure it was for the Orioles to have given Vladimir Guerrero $7.5 million and having him suck up the DH and cleanup spot all year. Numbers this year only reflect negative-value players. Most 0-WAR players are those who had only a handful of at-bats and didn't really distinguish themselves either way. (It appears that between February and now, Fangraphs tweaked their formula just enough to make 2011 Vlad a -0.1 fWAR player, but I'm coming clean on the shift all the same.)
Playoff Team | Players < 0 fWAR | PA by < 0 fWAR | Worst Player | Worst's PA | Worst's fWAR | Total Neg. fWAR |
Orioles | 12 | 1403 | Roberts | 74 | -1.1 | -4.5 |
Yankees | 3 | 93 | McGehee | 59 | -0.6 | -0.9 |
Tigers | 10 | 1893 | Raburn | 222 | -1.5 | -5.6 |
Athletics | 4 | 78 | Hughes | 13 | -0.4 | -0.9 |
Rangers | 5 | 926 | Young | 651 | -1.4 | -2.8 |
Nationals | 3 | 222 | Nady | 109 | -0.9 | -1.4 |
Braves | 9 | 923 | Hinske | 147 | -1.1 | -5 |
Reds | 5 | 449 | Valdez | 208 | -1.1 | -3.1 |
Cardinals | 3 | 470 | Greene | 197 | -0.3 | -0.7 |
Giants | 5 | 349 | Burriss | 150 | -0.7 | -1.9 |
First things first: it hasn't stopped being cool to list the Orioles among playoff teams.
It's not difficult to see which teams had stability and success in their lineups. Whether by solid roster construction, shrewd use of the bench, good fortune, or some kind of Satanic blood pact, most of the playoff teams gave relatively little playing time to bad players. The Yankees and Athletics stand out particularly for having less than 100 plate appearances by negative-value players. Seven of the ten teams have five or fewer negative-value players getting any playing time at all. (Note: I've excluded all pitcher plate appearances for both leagues from the numbers in this chart.) The bizarre suicide pact that Rangers manager Ron Washington has with Michael Young stands out.
The Orioles, we should not be surprised, look a bit like a team that doesn't belong. Their position player situation was less of a hot mess than the Tigers, but it's not difficult to know how the Tigers could overcome 500+ plate appearances by Brennan Boesch (-1.3 fWAR) and Delmon Young (-0.7 fWAR). They had the Triple Crown-winning Miguel Cabrera, and Austin Jackson and Prince Fielder, and a rotation with Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer and Doug Fister.
In fact, if you look at the total negative fWAR by Orioles position players this year, the -4.5 is actually worse than last year's -4.2! Much of that is thanks to Brian Roberts (-1.1 fWAR in 74 PA) and Endy Chavez (-0.8 in 169 PA), with Robert Andino getting the most playing time of a negative-value player (-0.6 fWAR and 431 PA). These numbers reflect the mess that was second base for most of the season, with another mess in left field until Nate McLouth arrived on the scene. Let's take a moment and ponder the sheer improbability of that phrase.
Obviously, looking simply at the raw negative fWAR of position players doesn't paint the full picture of how the Orioles managed to improve. It's all in perception. Names like Jim Thome, Taylor Teagarden and Ryan Flaherty are in the negatives, but they will all be remembered fondly. Teagarden had only nine hits in 64 PA, but every one seemed to be more clutch than the last. Thome got on base, even if that may have been his only remaining skill. Flaherty showed improvement through the season, ultimately homering in the playoffs. That was a thing that happened. Suck it, WAR.
It seems we will find no answers for the team's improvement by simply looking at position players with negative fWAR. What about the pitching staff?
Playoff Team | P < 0 fWAR | IP by < 0 fWAR | Worst Pitcher | Worst's IP | Worst's fWAR | Total Neg. fWAR |
Orioles | 6 | 198 | Hunter | 133.2 | -0.4 | -1.1 |
Yankees | 3 | 7 | Warren | 2.1 | -0.2 | -0.7 |
Tigers | 7 | 85.2 | Balester | 18 | -0.5 | -1.7 |
Athletics | 7 | 178.2 | Straily | 39.1 | -0.5 | -1.6 |
Rangers | 0 | 0 | Tateyama | 17 | 0 | 0 |
Nationals | 5 | 145.1 | Wang | 32.1 | -0.4 | -1.4 |
Braves | 5 | 151.1 | Durbin | 61 | -0.4 | -1.1 |
Reds | 3 | 66.2 | Ondrusek | 54.2 | -0.9 | -1.7 |
Cardinals | 9 | 168.1 | Rzepcynski | 46.2 | -0.4 | -1.9 |
Giants | 5 | 174 | Hensley | 50.2 | -0.5 | -1.3 |
Unsurprisingly, the first thing we find is that the Orioles had the most innings thrown by negative-value pitchers. The 198 innings is 66.1 innings fewer than were thrown by negative-value pitchers last season, which represents either about seven nine-inning games or about four 16-inning games. However, this number could have easily been much worse if not for the fact that fWAR loves Jake Arrieta, who had a +1.6 fWAR despite a 6.20 ERA in 114.2 IP; based on his FIP of 4.05, it believes he was unlucky.
Noteworthy that even the much-maligned Kevin Gregg only accounted for a -0.2 fWAR.
The stability of the Yankees and the Rangers here is remarkable. Yankees pitchers threw 1445.1 IP and had 7 innings thrown by total scrub pitchers. Rangers pitchers threw 1442 IP and had no total scrub innings at all. Most of the other staffs are relatively well-off as well, with one ill-fated bullpen guy showing up as worst fWAR and probably an under-performing starter who was jettisoned taking up some of the total innings as well.
Last year's Orioles had a total of -3.7 from their negative-value pitchers, because the ones who were bad were much worse in addition to throwing more innings. So the staff, simply from shedding innings by awful pitchers, comes out ahead 2.6 wins better than last year, without even getting into whether there were more positive contributions.
We can see that most of the playoff teams deal with pitchers like this, and as with the position players it's a matter of making sure the front office has options to replace struggling players and that the manager has the awareness and latitude to make the best moves for the sake of the team.
In the case of the Orioles, Tommy Hunter threw more innings than any other team's worst pitcher, but it's not like the O's were blithely unaware of Hunter's faults. They tried to demote him and stick him in the bullpen at several different points and fluke injuries kept pushing him back into the rotation. The bullpen fired on all cylinders most all of the year, and eventually the rotation stabilized for a push to the playoffs, too.
Though the raw negative fWAR of the position players was slightly worse, there is something significant in the fact that they had took 267 fewer plate appearances, which probably represents about 6-8 games worth of plate appearances. Add that to six nine-inning games fewer by poor-performing pitchers and that makes much more difference than shows up in saying they were 2.6 WAR better.
This is yet another area where we see how Dan Duquette's roster merry-go-round paid off. Past years Orioles may have been wedded, for instance, to Matusz, Arrieta and Hunter all sticking in the rotation, or Endy Chavez staying in left field, Wilson Betemit staying at third base, and so on. Duquette stocked the system looking for diamonds in the rough, and he ended up with McLouth and Miguel Gonzalez, and he aggressively plugged in Manny Machado as well.
These were all mid-season changes that shored up the team's weaknesses and probably had a greater impact than will simply show up in looking at fWAR numbers. That said, next article I'll be looking at whether the Orioles performed better with positive-value players than they did last year. Maybe they did, or maybe we will continue to see that the 2012 Orioles defy any and all explanation.

I cant remember when my attitude changed but I started to accept that I was different and I might as well have some fun with it. I had something that most people didnt have. It was cool. I opened up my mind. I questioned life, death, existence, science, religion, trees, flowers, people, and my whole surroundings. The experiences came and went and I treated them like learning experiences. I came up with my own ideas, and hypothesis. I learned to fight the evil spirits when I had to and talk to the good spirits whenever I could.
IceWingGales you could be at the pivotal point in your life. Dont ask the question why, but ask the question what do I want to do now. I am not an expert and I do not have your answers. I dont know if anyone out there has the answer your seeking. It may be that you have to change the question.
Posted 14 December 2003 - 01:26 PM
I thank you for the post. I too have had very similar experience with some people as you have described. I don't think that changing my religious beliefs will answer my question or make the things that I feel and sometimes see go away. I asked the question because I have had people view me as crazy when I tell them what happened. I think my sanity is well intact and I know for sure that I am not losing my mind. My son experiences the samethings that I do. I get angry when people tell him it is just his imagination or they question the way I raise him. I practice the old religion and I have been told that because of this that I am going to hell and that I am the one attracting evil spirits. The spirits that are present aren't harmful and I think they only make a lot of noise sometimes because they want to be heard. I have been told that I have to go and get my son saved immediately and not to have him around the things I associate myself with because I am condemning him. I don't believe these things to be true and what ever he believes in is his choice. I don't push my religion on my son and he only participates when he wants to. I have 3 other family members who have this gift and my grandmother who has passed had the same. I guess the question I should have been asking is whether or not being sensitive is passed down from generation to generation in families. :-/

I could not tell you if sensitivity is passed down from generation to generation. A lot of the articles I read say that there is a strong chance that this is true. They also say that the gift passes between females though. I dont know if that is exactly true. I am still trying to find out why I am a sensitive (I have stories I am not telling yet).
Aren't you all greatful that you found Ghost Village, a place where people will not ridicule you and where you can openly share your experiences without people thinking you're crazy!
I am very very very happy I have found this place. I wish I had access to this knowledge when I was going through my earlier rough stages.

I have become more sensitive myself since I took advice from her books.I enjoy being able to see and hear things from the ones who have crossed over. You have been given a great gift put it to good use.

I only shared experiences with two of my brothers and a small group of friends. They all wanted to see my shadow person. As our curiousity grew, so did our audacity. Without our parents' knowledge we strayed into the dark.
As time passed and I got to know the shadow better, he became more than a shadow. I could see his skin tone and eyes. He stopped hugging the walls. One day, when I was 9, he made me an offer. You see my dad was unemployed. Everything I owned was handed down from older brothers (and I was sure I'd pass to my younger brother). This shadow told me of a better life. He promised a good job for my dad and wealth beyond my wildest dreams. He told me that he could give me the world - anything I wanted, if I promised to spend eternity with him.
I looked into his steel-blue eyes and knew he was serious. What power did this shadow have to make such an offer? He started tapping his boot trying to get me to answer.
Meakly, I muttered "no." His eyes opened wider and pierced through me. Again he made the same proposal - the world was mine, if I would be his. This time I yelled "no!" and ran down the stairs and out the door. I was at my friend's house in no time flat.
At dinnertime I finally returned home. After eating, I went upstairs to my room. It was clear - the shadow was gone.
When I finally managed to doze off, a nightmare kept playing through my mind. I saw my family in the streets begging for hand-outs. My baby sister was sick from the cold. Then my tattered self looked into the window of one of the near-by mansions. My parents were sitting by the fireplace. My mother had a new gold necklace. A servant told them that supper was served. As my family gathered, my eyes focussed on the fire. I saw myself on a spit in the flames.
At this point something sharp poked my back. I suddenly wake up to see the shadow with some sort of blade. As he left through the window he told me he would be watching me and my posterity. I still bear that mark.
Later that Summer my family moves to Hawaii - my parents oblivious to what I went through. As time passes, these memories fade.
I left out quite a few details. And the answer has not yet been revealed - why me? After catching some shut-eye I will post the answer (hey, it's another story).
I didn't lose my mind - I have it backed up on a disk ... somewhere

Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (shoulder) will not return to the Week 12 game against the New England Patriots due to a shoulder injury he suffered on the final play of the first half.
Huddle Up: The injury came on a dumb play, and it turned out to be a big blow to the Broncos defense. Keep an eye on him in the coming weeks; opposing receivers could have some nice games if he's out for any amount of time.
Posted: 8/1/2013 10:55am et
Updating previous reports, Denver Broncos CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is out two to three weeks with a high left ankle sprain. CB Chris X. Harris is expected to replace him, with CB Tony Carter playing in the nickel package.
Huddle Up: That time frame puts Rodgers-Cromartie back on the field in time for the Broncos' season opener, which is good news for Denver's defense.
Posted: 3/15/2013 1:35pm et
Denver Broncos CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie's deal is $10 million over two years including a $4.2 million bonus, according to a source.
Huddle Up: John Elway and Peyton Manning continue the effective sales pitch, adding DRC to an already formidable defense.

Sixty-six-year-old Maureen Martin lived at that address at W3643 Judy Lane. She couldn't be located. An autopsy conducted at the Fond du Lac County Medical Examiner's Office determined that the death of the woman who perished in the blaze was fire and heat related. The Green Lake County Sheriff's Department, State Fire Marshal's Office, Green Lake County Coroner's Office, and Princeton Fire Department are continuing their investigation of the fire.

In previous posts I've discussed improvisation.
"Licks" are certain note patterns which can be played over chord changes. Learning certain licks and patterns is important so that you can recreate cool sounds on the bandstand which you worked on in the practice room.
This site (http://bopland.org/) is great for learning and practicing licks which you can then put into your solos.
Have fun, it's a great database of some of the coolest licks around!

How to migrate your website FROM another host TO InMotion Hosting
This article will assist you with migrating a website from another web host to InMotion Hosting. Please see our other article if your previous hosting provider uses cPanel.
Also, if you are moving a WordPress website to us, we have a guide in our Wordpress Education channel titled "Migrating your Existing WordPress site to InMotion Hosting"
The time frame to complete this process can really vary based on factors such as the size of your website/database, or download limitations set by your old host.
Evaluate your Site
The first thing you'll want to do is evaluate your site. You'll want to find out where in your previous host which folder your website files are stored. You will also want to find out if you are using any databases, and if so, how you can obtain a backup of them. It is best to contact your current hosting company to obtain this information as it does vary from web host to web host.
Download your Website Files
Next, you'll want to download your website files from your previous host to your desktop. We recommend that you use FTP to perform this step. For more help with using FTP, please see the following link:
Export your Website Databases
If your website uses databases, you'll want to obtain a backup of your databases. Instructions for doing this vary from host to host, so you'll want to contact your previous host for assistance with this.
In case your old host offers phpMyAdmin like us, here is a link to a helpful article that covers How to Export a Database using phpMyAdmin.
Also, here is a link to an article that shows you how to Backup / Export a Database from SSH.
Upload your Website Files and Import your Databases
In this step, you will want to upload your website files using FTP into your public_html directory on your InMotion Hosting account. For further assistance with this, reference the Getting Started Guide: FTP link mentioned above.
If your website has a database, now is the time to import it to your InMotion Hosting Account. You'll first want to create the databases within cPanel, and then import your database backup using phpMyAdmin. For further assistance with these steps, please see:
Creating, Importing, and Exporting MySQL Databases
Test your Website
After you've uploaded your website files and restored your databases (if applicable), your next step will be to test your website. You can test your website using your account's temporary URL. To find your temporary URL, please see Testing your website using your Temporary URL for further assistance. If testing through the temporary url will not work for your site (some CMS applications do not work properly through the temporary url) you can use a edit your hosts file instead.
Setup your Email
If you have email addresses for your domain, such as email@example.com, now is the time to set them up. For more help with creating and configuring your email accounts, please see the following link:
If you currently point your email (MX records) to a third party email service such as Google, you'll need to update the MX records in your InMotion Hosting cPanel and ensure "remote mail exchange" is set. No email accounts need to be created on our servers as they reside on the third party providers servers. Please see our article on modifying MX records in cPanel for more information.
If you are using a third party spam filtering service that still delivers emails to our server, such as Postini, you'll need to create those email accounts on our servers.
You can migrate the current emails from your previous host to our servers. Please see our guide on moving over the existing emails you currently have.
Point your Domain
After you've migrated your website to your InMotion Hosting account and setup your email addresses, you'll now want to point your domain name away from your previous host and to your InMotion Hosting server. This can be accomplished by modifying your domain's nameservers with your current registrar to:
If you are signed up as a Reseller (Not a VPS or Dedicated account) you will point the namesrvers to:
For more help with this, please see our DNS Modification Tutorial
Test your Website Again
When you update your nameservers, it may take up to 24 hours before the new changes begin to take affect. We recommend that you test your website right after the nameserver change, and then again every 6 - 12 hours until 24 hours has elapsed since you initially updated your nameservers.
The InMotion Hosting Support Department is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you need any assistance with the steps above, feel free to contact us at any time.
We value your feedback!
There is a step or detail missing from the instructions.
The information is incorrect or out-of-date.
It does not resolve the question/problem I have.

Euro 2008
June 21, 2008
Just finished watching the Dutch implode and get beaten 3-1 by Russia, making them the third group winner to lose.
I can now only hope that Spain beats the Italian Diving Squad tomorrow to avert any possibility of a Germany v Italy final.
Spain v Turkey would be more fun.
June 22, 2008 at 12:04 am | #2
This is the part of the show where Spain typically shows up with their shoes on backwards. I fear we will see a Germany/Italy final and that Italy will take it. But then I pretty much thought The Netherlands were unbeatable and that Croatia would dominate Turkey like the Mongol horde v the Vienna Boys' Choir. Crystal ball goes in for service next week.

"Very central location"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 18, 2013
The hotel was located in a very central location. You could see piazza tasso from our balcony. The hotel is located on a main road, corso italia, with easy access to bars, restaurants and stores. The staff was very friendly, the room was clean (cleaned everyday), the breakfast was light but good enough to start the day (freshly made coffee, pastries, yogurt, cereal and fruit). The only complaint is that we felt our room smelled like cigarette smoke, although all rooms are supposed to be non-smoking. They did extra cleaning and aired the room for us, because they had no other rooms available. It was OK afterwards. I would recommend this hotel to any one. It was good value for the price.
"Best 4 star I ever stayed in! Deserves a 5"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 15, 2013
Wow! No stone left unturned. This was by far the best lodging stay that I have ever experienced. The staff (always available with a smile to answer questions, the view (unparalled), the location (far enough away, but close enough to walk to town), the cleanliness (immaculate), the food (excellent), the (fill in the blank) was all first rate. My wife and I can't wait to go back.
"Excellent Hotel- Palazzo Abagnale"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 21, 2013
This was a fabulous hotel. It has small rooms but very comfortable. Great price and value- I have paid more at lesser hotels. Palazzo Abagnale is immaculate. Chic. Modern. New. Excellent staff- informative and helpful. They provided great restaurant choices and even had free shuttle services to one which we took advantage of- Donna Sophia. Excellent breakfast. Perfect location. Parking garages nearby- a short walk to the hotel- call them first for which one to use for a discount. I wish I would have stayed more nights here. I will in the future for sure.
"Definetly would stay again"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 10, 2013
We were greeted upon arrival and our room was very clean. The room was actually spacious and up to date. The reception is not open all night but they give you keys and we called the day before to let them know we were checking in. The hotel overall and our experience was great and we would definetly stay here again.
"An amazingly wonderful family owned hotel !!"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 9, 2013
We were so lucky to have stayed here as my father recommended it. The owners Pepe and Maria were extremely helpful with everything. They even helped me make my first family connection with relatives whom I had never met as he called them for me (they live down the Amalfi coast in Salerno) They are amazing hosts who pay very close attention to the comfort and needs of the guests. Can not recommend The Hotel Savoia enough. It is less than a 10 min. walk to Sorrento Center and Piazza Tasso. We will be back !!!
"great view, excellent service"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 7, 2013
The hotel is on top of a hill and provides great view of the coast. It was a good value and the service was excellent. The staff was very helpful. We only stayed for one night and though it was rainy and cold, our stay could never have been more satisfying. We will stay here again if we get another chance.
"Beautiful hotel in the heart of Sorrento"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 5, 2013
Our 12 night stay over the December holidays at La Favorita was luxurious! The attentive service, the spotless and comfortable room, the beautiful design of the hotel & the perfect central location made for an unforgettable experience in Sorrento!! Through Hotels.com, we were fortunate to get a nice deal on an extended stay in a junior suite. The room features: a balcony, a huge jacuzzi tub, lots of space with 16 foot decorated ceilings, a super comfortable king bed, & turndown service. Breakfast was wonderful & included in the price. The only things I would add is a better in-room wifi connection (the lobby was the only viable way to get on line), & perhaps a fitness room (but there's a great gym a few blocks away available for 10 euro per visit... & lots of steep inclines to hike). I had read an important piece of advice on one TA review regarding those who choose to stay here in the cooler months: The AC is shut off for the winter! If you're like us & like to sleep in a cool room, you'll need to keep your balcony door open. The street below is noisy until the wee hours so use earplugs or a white noise iPad app to drown it all out. Also, re-reconfirm your airport transfer requests & Hotels.com info (or any other booking sites) just before you leave home ...just a phone call to the front desk should do, as there's lots of room for communication errors...but the same can be said for any accommodation.

These large aquatic reptiles surprisingly appear quite often in dreams. As with other dream symbols, they represent different things depending on the other contextual dream clues. Due to the universal human experience with these large aquatic reptiles as predators, they most oftenbut not alwaysrepresent hidden danger.
Nearly everyone harbors, at one time or another, a fear or suspicion about the hidden dangers in our lives. Danger and threats come in various forms and can appear in all sectors of our world, including the physical (health and body), financial, professional/job (competitors, enemies, bad economy), family (divorce, abuse, children), emotional (love, relationships, crisis), spiritual (life direction, religious).
Alligators versus Crocodiles
There are differences between alligators and crocodiles, but because the average layperson is unaware of them, dreamers typically report these reptiles interchangeably in dreams. It is important to note that gators and crocs dont always symbolize danger; alligators, especially, can remind us to develop a thicker skin and not become overly sensitive.
Alligators are less aggressive than crocodiles. While they can kill large prey, including humans, their nature is to be timid and they avoid humans. In fact, zookeepers often report being able to step upon their backs to cross the water without any of the gators reacting while crocs attack quickly and ferociously every time. For this reason, a gator means danger in your life that is not an immediate threat or it is one that you can more easily skirt once you recognize its presence. They can represent enemies who appear to be more of a threat than they really are.
And because man turns alligator into numerous productsfrom alligator meat to alligator skin bootsthis means that you have the potential to turn a threat or danger into something that benefits you. Alligators are commercially farmed. They also provide service to man by keeping rodent populations down and creating a tourist industry.
Crocodiles on the other hand are hidden dangers that pose more serious threats to you. While they are consumed in some countries, they kill hundreds of people around the world with their quick and unexpected strikes. A croc in your dream can be a real threat.
Possible meanings
Alligator or croc skin. Develop a thicker skin. Dont let insults bother you. Or, conversely, you could have developed too thick a skin and are insensitive in your dealings with others. To tell the difference when interpreting your dream, take note of the feelings you are feeling in your dream and waking life and study the other dream symbols for clues.
Seeing an alligator or croc. Perceiving or being aware of possible threats in your walking life.
Walking an alligator/croc. Being in control of those who can be a threat.
Feeding an alligator/croc. Doing something to appease those in your life who are threatening.
Wrestling with an alligator/croc. Sparring with, defending against those minor enemies or annoyances in your life.
Being the alligator/croc. Some people have felt that they, themselves, were the alligator/croc. Of course, that perspective changes everything. Check your waking life for predatory or indifferent behaviors or attitudes.
Remember that threats or dangers arent always people in your life. They can be health issues, financial stresses or anything else that threatens your well-being. And, always consider the feelings in your dreams.
Idioms and saying to consider
Crocodile tears. False stories meant to elicit ones sympathy and trust. Deceit.
If youre going to live by the river, make friends with the crocodile. ~ Indian proverb. Youd better be on good terms with those who can hurt you if you dwell in their territory. Befriending the top dog that can bite you.
An appeaser is one who feeds the crocodile, hoping it will eat him last. ~ Winston Churchill. Alas, trying to appease the threats in your life only postpones the inevitable because the croc will eat you sooner or later unless you flee or conquer him.
Note: I would like to express my thanks to legendary crocodile hunter and Australian conservationist Steve Irwin who single-handedly changed our understanding of these magnificent animals. Sadly, their predatory behaviors have earned them negative reputations but Mr. Irwin attempted to show us that they are simply being true to their wild nature. They, like every living being, eat to survive. They dont kill for the sake of killing unlike man. When given a wide berth by humans, they wont hunt us down.
Perhaps dreamers can take a hint from that. If you should dream about a croc, be aware of possible waking life threats and keep your distance!

About the Elections Division
The Office of the Secretary of State administers all statewide elections for both candidates and issues. Candidates for the six constitutional state offices, U.S. Congress, the General Assembly, and circuit judges not covered by the non-partisan court plan, file for election with the Secretary of State. Statewide ballots for primary, general and certain special elections are also prepared by the Secretary of State, and certified copies of those ballots are sent to local election officials. The Secretary of State also certifies statewide ballot measures that are proposed by the General Assembly or through the initiative petition process. The full texts of ballot issues are published in the newspapers around the state and printed for display at polling places. It is also the responsibility of the office to canvas, certify, and publish election results.
Initiative petitions are also handled by the office, including the oversight of signature verification. Before an initiative petition can be circulated, groups must first have the form of the petition and a summary statement approved by the Secretary of State and Attorney General. A fiscal impact statement is added by the State Auditor. For an initiative changing state law to be placed on the ballot, signatures must be obtained from registered voters equal to five percent of the total votes cast in the last gubernatorial election in six of Missouri's nine congressional districts. For an initiative changing the state constitution to be placed on the ballot, signatures are needed from registered voters equal to eight percent of the votes cast in the last gubernatorial election in six of the state's nine congressional districts. The elections division also oversees the collection of signatures for new political parties and the nomination of independent candidates for offices that file with the Secretary of State.
Besides assisting the 116 local election authorities interpret and administer state election laws; the Secretary of State promulgates rules governing elections. The Secretary of State is required to publish the Missouri election laws for use by county clerks and election boards. Additionally, the office produces various election materials including instructions for poll workers, calendars of annual election deadlines, a web site, training videos, and a manual for election authorities. The office cooperates with other officials, schools, and civic organizations to provide materials to support voter registration, responsibility and education. A high priority of the Secretary of State is to work with local election officials, the media and other groups to increase voter participation.
The Secretary of State is responsible for maintaining a centralized voter registration database for use by the local election authorities in Missouri. This database helps to improve the ability of local election officials to manage voter registration records and allows for cross checking for duplicate registrations anywhere in the state.

If you live in a hot or dry climate—or nearly any climate today—it makes a lot of sense to save water. In fact, 36 states expect to face water shortages by 2013, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and much of the United States has been abnormally dry this year.
Unless you have your own well, saving water will save on your water bills. And if you do use a private well or other source of water, some simple and high-tech conservation methods can help you save both that water—and the energy needed to pump it into your home and to heat it.
There are several home technologies that can help you to save water and money on your water bills. Follow the slideshow to learn about them.

Assemblywoman Rhoda Jacobs (D-Flatbush) announced that New York State is supplementing its Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) with $82.3 million in additional federal aid to help eligible households meet their home heating needs this winter. The funding comes in addition to the $178 million issued throughout the state so far this heating season.
"The exorbitant cost of keeping warm during the cold winter months has presented a real struggle for too many Brooklyn families," said Jacobs. "Regular HEAP benefits – and now this added emergency benefit – allow low-income households, as well as households with vulnerable members like children, seniors or people with disabilities, to keep their heat turned on throughout the cold weather, keeping thousands of New York families safe and warm this season."
The additional funding released this month covers a second emergency benefit of up to $700 per eligible household that will be made available to those who have already received HEAP funding this winter. The previous emergency benefit had a cap of only $600. So far this heating season, HEAP has issued benefits to more than 719,000 families statewide. This is the second time in HEAP history that a second level of emergency help has been made available; the program was added this year because of record-high energy costs.
"Qualified New Yorkers in a heating crisis can benefit from HEAP assistance," Jacobs said. "Those who face an imminent power shut-off because of unpaid bills or have less than a 10-day supply of heating oil are eligible for the emergency funding. I urge people who need assistance to seek it. Keeping warm during the winter is a crucial matter and can be one of life or death."
HEAP applications are available on the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance Web site at www.otda.state.ny.us/main/heap or by calling Assemblywoman Jacobs' Community Service Office at (718) 434-0446. Applications will be accepted through May 15.

When Jen and Neal Jackson moved into a house in Homewood, Alabama, the old fence surrounding their side yard didn't add much to the overall feel of their landscape. However, it did help create an ideal play area for their children, as well as all the neighbors' children. So the Jacksons contacted local garden designer Terry Slaughter to find an alternative to the old fence without losing the practicality of the secure play area.
Terry suggested replacing the fence with a living screen, and the Jacksons immediately loved the idea. "Instead of just having a fenced side yard," Terry explains, "we created a small, intimate space that gives a yard a lot more options than having one big open field does." With everyone in agreement, the next question was what type of plants to choose.
Points To Ponder
The most important considerations when deciding what shrub to use as a screen are the growing conditions. It doesn't matter
how great a shrub looks when put in the ground. If the plant doesn't have appropriate growing conditions, it won't continue
to look good, so there's no point in using it.
The Jacksons' house is nestled into a grove of tall pines and receives a limited amount of sunlight. The side yard is actually part of a utility right-of-way with heavy clay soil that gets a little more sun but has some drainage problems. With these primary considerations in mind, Terry began looking at the other concerns the Jacksons had. They definitely wanted a hedge tall enough to keep the children and their toys inside. They also wanted something that would create a solid screen so they wouldn't have to constantly worry about cleaning up toys. Finally, the Jacksons didn't want anything that would need special maintenance.

Project learning can inspire the best of high-performance teamwork, or it can be devolve into unfocused chaos. How can we support each other to keep our eye on the prize? Share your project ideas, questions, and implementation experiences.
Asking Good Questions?
In the project learning model we teach, every project has a Driving Question. Obviously, we spend a lot of time developing that particular question. It is generally the hardest task for the teachers with which we work, as it is where the teacher commits to finding the most engaging, authentic (related to adult work when possible) question that will speak to the student's personal excitement WHILE also teaching to the standards [a difficult tension and balance].
However, asking good questions (driving questions, project sub-questions, and general questioning in the classroom) is one way to make life and learning an adventure. How do we ask good questions as teachers? And how do we teach the asking of good questions?
As a math teacher, my students would laugh because 99% of the time I answered their questions with a question. Also, when I was helping students one on one, I prided myself on guiding their learning with good questions....until I discovered one day an article where a student said about tutoring: "When I am tutored, I can asnwer all the questions, but when I am taking the test in class, I can't remember the questions!"
That is when I realized that when we ask good questions as teachers, we don't necessarily fully 'close the loop.' We have to find ways for students to be staring at the blank piece of paper (on a test, or in their mind), and then 'create the question for themselves that they have to answer.' Any ideas on how we help students develop that skill?

Josh Powell Turned Out To Be 'A Monster,' Says Social Worker
By Mark Memmott
The social worker who watched in horror last Sunday as a Washington state man blew up the house that his two young sons had gone into moments before says he had never before seemed dangerous.
But she knows now, Elizabeth Griffin-Hall tells ABC News, that "Josh Powell was really, really evil."
"The world lost two beautiful boys to a monster," she says.

Wilson Blade 104 Tennis RacquetWILSONItem #WRT71641U |
Our Price $199.00

With the new Wilson Blade Tennis Racquet you can experience a control racquet for the modern, aggressive game. Designed for hard hitting, aggressive players in my mind, this precision oriented weapon will impress every player with the updates Wilson has graced their Blade line with.
The new cosmetics show a darker and more serious side of the racquet which is great for the players who really want to intimidate the opponent. Upgrades to the racquet technology includes Basalt and Amplifeel for enhanced feel while filtering out harsh vibrations and a new construction for increased performance.
This is a terrific weapon for the advanced players who are looking for precision and accuracy in every shot. As the choice of many tour Next Gen players and Grand Slam Champions like Venus and Serena Williams, the new Blade is the future of control.

Back a few months ago (I forget with which update exactly) Google started identifying official websites for towns, courts, etc. Third party sites that contained information about these types of searches, but that were not the official website of the municipality, were still displayed but not in the top spot(s).
Today I'm noticing that that has been undone. There is one particular site with strong authority in this niche that has gained a lot from this (they lost positions a few months ago) and is being displayed for these local searches as if the query was a navigational search (with the sitelinks).
Interesting development and I'm wondering if this is just stronger brand bias.

Verona, PA - After an extended visit with Tennessee legislators while in Nashville this week, Senator Rick Santorum picked up endorsements of some of the state's most ardent conservatives. From Jonesborough to Dresden, a dozen State Representatives were eager to endorse the candidate they feel carries the values of Tennesseans and has the best chance to beat President Obama in the fall - Rick Santorum.
Included in the list of supporters are:
Representative Jimmy Matlock (R - Lenoir City)
Representative Bill Dunn (R- Knoxville)
Representative Don Miller (R- Morristown)
Representative Joshua Evans (R - Greenbrier)
Representative Mark Pody (R- Lebanon)
Representative Joey Hensley, MD (R- Hohenwald)
Representative Dennis Powers (R- Jacksboro)
Representative Matthew Hill (R - Jonesborough)
Representative Art Swann (R- Maryville)
Representative Andy Holt (R - Dresden)
Representative Rick Womick (R - Rockvale)
Representatives Dunn and Powers agreed to act as co-chairs of the campaign in Tennessee. Both men acknowledged that some additional colleagues are supporting Santorum in other ways. Dunn said that the Santorum campaign is surging at just the right time. "I've been for Rick Santorum from the beginning, and I am proud to stand with my fellow representatives in support of a man with such integrity and courage," Dunn said.
Powers said that he was also impressed with Santorum's Made in America Plan and his promise to repeal Obamacare. "Senator Santorum is a true conservative who believes that America's hope lies in her people, not in the government."

Pop culture from Southern California and beyond.
South Korean Christians say no, no to Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga performed in South Korea to about 45,000 fans, despite a backlash from local Christians. It's the latest in Gaga's attempt to be this generation's incarnation of Madonna (despite Madonna's continuing attempts to be this generation's incarnation of Madonna).
Reuters reports that protesters called for her concert to be canceled, calling it "pornographic" and saying that Gaga promotes homosexuality.
There may be some debate about whether she promotes it in her music, but certainly "is a fan of," judging by most of what she does, would be fair. Her song "Born This Way" in particular has been adopted as a gay anthem, and even made its way to a country version (a version which was recently covered by Skylar Layne on "American Idol").
She also started the Born This Way Foundation, which seeks to "foster a more accepting society, where differences are embraced and individuality is celebrated." The foundation is also sponsored by Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society, the MacArthur Foundation and the California Endowment.
