Value Rocks
A tag with the above quote will be attached to a bag of these Young Women Value Rocks and given as a favor at our Mother Daughter Dinner. The Rocks will also be used as part of the table decorations scattered around the centerpieces.
There are 9 rocks in each set. Seven Rocks with the Young Women Values, and one rock with "Steadfast" and one rock with "Immovable".
These turned out super cute (photograph does not do them justice) and reinforces the theme, "Steadfast and immovable always abounding in Good Works" theme for 2008 along with focusing on the Young Women Values.
The above rocks are before the final distressing ink is sponged on.
I adapted the Rock Idea from my friend who made these Gratitude Rocks for our Ward Thanksgiving Dinner Table Decorations. They have been reused for a few years now and are a big hit. They make for great Table Conversation. Each rock features a blessing to be thankful for.....Some are serious and some a light-hearted.
Our Young Women Leaders gathered at my house for a morning and cranked these out. We made enough for 25 sets in just an hour or so. The only thing left to do was to sponge on the distress ink, which I did later when the Mod Podge dried. They are just so cute.
Here are Basic Directions, but nothing is hard fast. All of you crafty people will most likely have a method that works best for you!
Purchase 2 bags of Rocks at Home Depot, Lowes, etc. I bought the Large River Rocks and there were still not very many large ones. This was enough to make 25 sets of 9 Rocks.
Rinse rocks and let them dry before working with them.
Purchase parchment paper to type the words on.
Print the words in Dark Brown Ink in various font sizes. Choose the same font style for each one. I used anywhere from 14-20 font size depending on the size of the word(s) and the rocks. I made a page with all the words on it in each font size, this gave a few choices when matching up the rock sizes and the size of the words.
Crumple up the printed parchment paper and then open it back up. Carefully tear around each word so the edges are torn and jagged.
Use Mod Podge to attach the word to a rock .Coat the rock with the Mod Podge (not too thick) Place the coated rocks on Waxed paper to dry.
Once Rocks are dry, use a fine sponge blotted on to a Distress Brown Ink Pad and sponge around the edges of the word and all over the rock. Be careful not to sponge over the top of the word.
Once the ink dries, if desired, coat with one more layer of Mod Podge and let them dry.
These directions are very general.
Another idea is to make a set of rocks for each Young Woman (or for a friend as a gift, etc.) with positive qualities about that person. Place them in a bag with a tag that says...."You Rock" or make The Young Women Value Rocks with a tag that says... "Stand Solid as a Rock with The Young Women Values"
UPDATE after the activity - One fun tradition is we play a game for Mothers and Daughters to test how much they know about each other. Without asking each other, the Mothers and Daughters each have a list of questions to answer about the each other. Those with the most correct answers receive prizes. The questions are posted below. It has become a lot of fun. Last year, I was a substitute mother for one of the girls and we, surprisingly, got several correct. Be sensitive to those who do not have mothers at this event and make sure they are assigned a mom for the evening.
The Young Women Value Rocks were a hit! I would suggest using them in some way at Girls Camp this summer.
The Water Bottle Labels Say.... Remain Steadfast and Immovable with The Young Women Values. I used a Young Women Torch at the seam just to polish the look.
With some decorations I already had and some recycling from the wedding the night before, the tables were beautiful. I was so excited that I had lavender bags for the Value Rocks that would match all of the decorations we recycled and combined.
As everyone arrived, they got busy answering questions about each other. This is a great ice-breaker and conversation piece for the evening. I always, always believe in having some sort of mixer game or activity when gathering people together. Not everyone is comfortable in a crowd or carrying on conversations.

Catching Up With Old Friends
January 21, 2011 | Tag(s): Audubon Zoo, Carousel, Discovery Walk, friends, Reptile Encounter, Sea Lions, Swamp Train, Zoofari Cafe
By: L'jeanne, Advertising Manager
For the past couple of weeks, we've had this biting cold weather. You know the kind of cold that seeps under your clothes and bites you in the back. Yep I've had that chill and a little cough and sniffles along with it. But finally this past weekend I began to shake off my winter weather woes. I had been looking forward to the extended weekend and as it happens on Monday we had the most beautiful weather on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. day. My kids had the day off from school, so of course we had to schedule a play date for my daughter with two of her "old" friends. Yes, can you image, a three year old has "old" friends. The girls' friendship goes way back to last year when they were at the same school. Of course, as you would guess we met at none other than Audubon Zoo. I promise you I had nothing to do with the play date location. But I'd have to say I think it's got to be one of the coolest locations for kids to meet for a play date. Our meeting spot was the children's area across from Discovery Walk. The girls were a little shy about seeing each other at first but quickly warmed up and were off running and playing. Of course they all loved riding the Endangered Species Carousel we had to do a little negotiating to get them to move on to something else. We let them run around on the play area a little while longer until the next scheduled Swamp Train was to arrive. My two year old son tagged along with us and was practically jumping out of his skin to ride on the Swamp Train. Once the train pulled up we all jumped on board and even though they had plenty of room for us to spread out the girls and my little boy all wanted to sit on the same row. So it ended up being a tight fit with two mommies and four little ones all squeezed together on a single row. The Swam Train ride was fun they oooh'ed and ahhh'ed at the behind the scenes experience. Once we were done they were only interested in Sea Lions and Snakes! Yes they were beyond excited to check out the snakes. Once there, they were more excited to play on the statue of the Komodo Dragon. Go figure? Our play day was just about done and we had only one thing on our mind, food! We hadn't seen such beautiful weather in a while so we decided to sit outside and eat at Zoofari Café. The girls could sense the day was coming to an end and began to get a little antsy. I think all of us were pretty exhausted and I was looking forward to their nap time. There were hugs, tears and long goodbyes but our day together had come to an end. They promised to see each other again and gave more big hugs. We all walked out together and as we turned to wave and yell goodbye once more I couldn't help but think how Audubon Zoo has forever captured a moment where "old" friends reconnected.

"If I had to guess, I think we'll see him pretty soon. He'll be up here and start practicing with us. "As you guys know, in training camp we really liked Kevin, thought he could be a pretty good NBA player. That's why we wanted to keep him around, get him into Canton, see how he'd played. Obviously, he played very well. "I don't know what type of NBA player he's going to be, but it's going to be interesting to find out.'' Cleveland Plain Dealer

I touched on this in another FanPost, but I wanted to elaborate a little more on why I don't think the Bills are nearly as good as the score showed in week 1. Thrashing the Chiefs in Arrowhead on opening weekend is an impressive feat no matter how you slice it, that's not debatable. No matter how good or bad the Chiefs are, Arrowhead is one of the toughest environments to play in. That being said, the Chiefs are bad. They defense was without prized free agent LB Brandon Siler and Pro Bowl safety Eric Berry as well. Without those two guys, the defense looks pretty awful.
I really want to pick apart the Bills drives, so this is going to be a little wordy. I apologize if it runs long. First off, I want to look at the Bills scoring drives...
This game got off to a great start for the Bills with Dexter McCluster fumbling the opening kickoff at the KC 26 yard line, giving the Bills a very short field to play with. The Bills have a short field would become a recurring theme in this game. The Bills punched the ball in for an early TD giving them a 7-0 lead.Even though the Bills scored, the most important thing about this drive happened on the third play, Eric Berry was injured and the Chiefs lost their best defensive player for the year. Huge advantage for the Bills.
No more scoring happened until the fourth Buffalo drive. This drive was, in my opinion, the only truly impressive drive of the game. A 6 play, 75 yard drive that lead to a Buffalo TD. The Bills abused the Chiefs depleted secondary by gaining 62 yards on the final 2 plays of this drive. A 35 yard pass followed by a 27 yard TD pass. 14-0, Bills. One can only wonder how that drive would have turned out if Eric Berry was hanging around in the secondary.
The Bills continued to get great field position, but could only manage FG's in the second quarter. Their next drive started at their own 39 yard line and went 50 yards and ended up in a FG. Then the Chiefs fumbled and the Bills recovered on the KC 21 yard line. The Bills gained one yard on 4 plays and settled for another FG. 20-0, Bills. That was all the scoring for the Bills in the first half and they went into the half with a 20-7 lead.
The Bills opened the second half with the ball and started with a 5 play, 26 yard drive that ended with a punt. Their next drive, they again got great field position due to a crappy punt by the Chiefs. This time they started on their own 41 yard line. Fred Jackson busted off a few nice runs to start the drive and by the third play, they were at the KC 26. Fitzpatrick punched it in for a TD from 11 yards out on 3rd and goal. 27-7, Bills.
The Bills D forced a 3 and out for the Chiefs and got a nice return to AGAIN give them exceptional field position. This time, they got the ball at the KC 32. It took the Bills 6 plays to punch this in the end zone with Fitzpatrick working the banged up secondary again. He completed 4-5 for 29 yards and a TD. Again, the Bills take advantage of the short field and now lead 34-7.
The next Buffalo drive was their last scoring drive of the game, and guess where they started that drive? The KC 28 yard line!! ANOTHER drive starting deep in the Chiefs territory. This time, the ran the ball down the Chiefs throats for a TD. Jackson ran twice for 14 yards and Spiller ran it in from 9 yards out. 41-7, Bills. At this point in the game, 14:01 in the 4th qtr, the Chiefs D had to be breathing heavy and struggling to put up a fight. It's no wonder that the Bills were able to run it on them and punch this one in.
So, in summary, the Bills scored TDs on drives that started on the KC 26, BUF 25, BUF 41, KC 32 and KC 28 and 2 FGs on drives that started on the BUF 39 and the KC 21. On top of this, they had a drive that started on the KC 44 that went three and out and ended with a punt. Outside of these short field drives, the Bills gained 71 yards on their other 7 drives. (the other drives looked like this: Started at BUF 24, 13 yards, punt. KC 44, 6 yards, punt. BUF 10, 10 yards, end half. BUF 20, 26 yards, punt. BUF 26, 17 yards, punt. BUF 33, 4 yards, INT. BUF 30, -5 yards, punt).
I believe that most of the Bills success is due to good field position. They got such good field position because of terrible punting by the Chiefs and 3 turnovers deep in Chiefs territory. The Bills will not be getting this good of field position off of Lechler's punts and if the Raiders don't turn the ball over on their side of the field, the Bills will be forced to put together long drives. In this game, the Bills only had 3 drives longer than 50 yards (50, 59 and 75). They also punted five times, a VERY high number for a team that scored 41 points.
In the end, the Bills deserve a lot of credit for pounding the Chiefs on the road last week, but maybe not as much credit as they are getting. I want to give a little more credit to the injured Chiefs defense, Daniel Colquitt's abysmal punting and Chiefs turnovers deep inside their own territory.

At the beginning of the High School football season I promised to give updates on Braxton Miller. He is the QB for the Huber Heights Wayne Warriors. He is also the next QB for the Ohio State Buckeyes. I understand this is not Steelers related but we do talk about prospects here.
This year started with Braxton running all over Cincinnati Moeller in the opening game. Wayne's starting wideout was injured early in the first half and Braxton hurt his ankle early in the second half. With his limited mobility Moeller blitz him heavily and came back from 28-14 to win 35-28. The winning TD was scored with 5 seconds left.
The next game was Canton McKinley played at the Horseshoe in Columbus. Braxton was held out and the second string Qb got hurt on the 3rd offensive play for Wayne. A Freshman QB took over and was ineffective. Wayne loses 26-0. Just about everyone was writing Wayne off. They felt Braxton would not return to form and Wayne would fade out.
Wayne's offensive coordinator then got an idea, the idea that we fans have had for the last 3 years. They decided to let Braxton throw instead of running. Ever since they made that decision the only blip on their record is a poorly played game against Springfield. Even t in that game Braxton rallied Wayne from a 21-0 deficit to tie it 21-21 late in the 4th, only to have Springfield return the following kickoff for a TD. They would lose that game 28-21.
Two weeks later Braxton would be leading the Warriors against the team that was tops in the Dayton area. It was against the Centerville Elks in a game televised on ESPNU. Braxton got support from his defense, which had gelled throughout the year. They held the number one offense in the conference to 159 yards total. The starting unit held the Elks to 3 points through 3 ½ quarters. Braxton lit Centerville up with 225 yards and 2 TDs.
Wayne ran the table the rest of the way and sneaked in the playoffs by just a few thousandths of a point as the 8 seed. Miller once again through the air made some big plays to get Wayne on the board, while Wayne's defense pitched a shutout on the Middletown Middies. The Middies lowest output of the year before this game was 24. Middletown was undefeated and the number one seed in the region.
The next playoff game was a rematch against the Centerville Elks. Centerville came out and took advantage of Wayne mistakes. Braxton and the offense looked like they were a little out of sync. Centerville led 16-0 early in the second quarter. They missed an extra point or it would have been 17-0. Wayne rallied quickly scoring 13 points in 3 minutes. Braxton used a variety of passes to confuse the Elks defense. Wayne tried for 2 on the first TD for some reason.
That try for two made the game end in regulation in a tie. In the first overtime Wayne faced a 4th and goal at the 20 yardline. Braxton rolls left and is faced by a rush, he turns and fires a laser across field to a receiver at the 5 on the far sideline. The receiver fights through a tackle to score. Centerville answers so they go into a second overtime. The Wayne defense stops Centerville after a first and goal at the 6 and the Elks opt to kick a fieldgoal. On the first play for Wayne Braxton bootlegs right for 12 yards to the 8. Then they run a dive up the middle with Taylor to the 2. Next play Braxton takes it himself up the middle and Wayne pulls it out.
Just this past Saturday Wayne played St. Xavier of Cincinnati. Wayne had never beaten St. Xavier and only 2 teams have won a regional final against a Cincinnati team. Wayne did it in 1999 and Centerville in 1991. Once again Wayne fell behind and Braxton lit up a pretty good defense. He led them on a game clinching drive late in the 4th to beat St. Xavier 28-24. In that drive Wayne faced a 4th and 7 at the 50. Braxton rolls right and sends a nicely thrown touch pass across the field to Taylor for 27 yards and a first down. A couple plays later, with the threat of pass loosening the Bombers defense Taylor took a draw 19 yards up the middle untouched for the winning score.
I realize that most likely the only audience I have right now is Ohio State fans. I am a Penn State fan. I also realize that my interest is that he plays for my high school team. I know there are high school football fans too that may have gotten down this far in my post. Since you have, why not check out the game Saturday? The Warriors are playing the defending State Champs, Hilliard Davidson in the state semi-finals. If you are in the Dayton area, it's at Welcome Stadium in Dayton at 7pm. If you have satellite and get the Sportstime Ohio (STO) channel, then look for the game.
What makes Braxton dangerous is; he has the arm strength and the accuracy to make all throws. He also has the ability to take it to the house if you try to play pass protection. He puts tremendous pressure on linebackers and safeties. His numbers don't jump out at you, but if you see him in person you see why there much hype around him. He averages 93.2 passing yards a game and has a QB rating of 65. He has 559 yards passing and 330 rushing.
The last thing I'll say, because it has to be said, he is not the team. I have to give credit to the team around him. Without Braxton this team is not very good, but without the team Braxton can't do what he does. Braxton can carry the team, but they aren't as good when he does that. All that said, Ohio State has a good one coming.

The idea of a university tuba/euphonium ensemble at the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire goes back to the mid-1970s when a group called "Mellow Mud" was founded by an enthusiastic group of euphonium and tuba students. When Dr. Jerry Young arrived on campus in the fall of 1983, the idea of a euphonium/tuba ensemble was revived right away. In that very first year, a non-credit, informal group was organized and gave performances on and off campus, establishing the tradition that has carried through to the present. The name, "BASSically BRASS," was conceived by tuba alumnus Robert Holec, and it has just stuck with us over the years. BASSically BRASS rehearses one time per week for two hours during the academic year. Guests are welcome to observe our rehearsals on Wednesday evenings from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. in room 143 of the Haas Fine Arts Building. Call or e-mail Dr. Young in advance to let us know you're planning to come.
BASSically BRASS has established a reputation for fine performances and for bringing new repertoire to the table over the years, regionally, nationally, and internationally. The group has presented performances at four international tuba/euphonium conferences (Lexington, Kentucky, Riva del Garda, Italy, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Budapest, Hungary). We have presented numerous world premiere performances including arrangements from Skip Gray (including his now famous arrangement of "Berecuse and Finale" from Stravinsky's The Firebird), Ronald Knoener (Mozart's The Impressario Overture, Sousa's Power and Glory among many others), Rodger Vaughan (far too many works to mention) in addition to original works by Rodger Vaughan including Winds (premiered in Lexington, Kentucky in 1992) and Variations on "Melita" (premiered in Washington, D.C. in 2001) and James Grant's tba4tet. The group recorded its first compact disc recording, "BASSically Holidays" in cooperation with the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire Foundation in the fall of 2008. We were the featured ensemble at the Upper Midwest Regional Conference of ITEA/Tubonium at Gustavus Adolphus College in April of 2009 and at the Minnesota Music Educator's Mid-Winter Conference in 2010.
BASSically BRASS has presented workshops for public school students throughout Wisconsin over the years. Our workshops include performances by the ensemble, small group clinic sessions wherein members of the ensemble help students to evaluate and review fundamental aspects of low brass performance and give individual attention to each student, and a massed tuba ensemble rehearsal and performance wherein all workshop participants perform with BASSically BRASS. For information on bringing a BASSically BRASS workshop to your area, contact Dr. Jerry Young at firstname.lastname@example.com for complete details.

They patrol cities and counties, armed with guns, handcuffs and the power to arrest. But FOX13 has learned some law enforcement officers in Arkansas may be patrolling the streets with no training whatsoever.
In Tennessee and Mississippi, an officer is not allowed on the streets by themselves without going through the police academy first. That's not the case in Arkansas. In fact, we found some hair dressers in Arkansas undergo stricter scrutiny than police officers. Now, at least one lawmaker is trying to change that.
According to Crittenden County Chief Deputy Tommy Martin, "The second night I ever put on a badge and gun I was riding in my own car." Martin had just turned 21 years old when the small Arkansas police department he was working for put him on the streets by himself, before he ever stepped foot inside the Police Academy.
"It's really nerve-wracking if you think about it," said Martin. "We're giving these people a badge and a gun and they're not properly trained."
According to Arkansas state law, officers do not have to be certified for up to a year after they're hired. The Commission on Law Enforcement Standards and Training says they can get an 8 month extension on top of that. So for almost 2 years, an officer can patrol the streets, by his or herself, and enforce the law without having any kind of training.
"Nothing against those professions whatsoever, but if you're going to do someone's hair or paint someone's fingernails you have to have a state license before you can do it," said Martin. "You don't have to have one to be a police officer."
Dianna Colclasure doesn't take offense at the comparison, although she was surprised. She's been cutting hair since 1981.
She said Arkansas hair dressers have to go through 2,000 hours of training and pass a state board exam before even picking up a pair of scissors.
"I have known a few people who are all of a sudden, they were looking for a job and became police officers," said Colclasure. "I wondered how that happened so quickly."
To be a police officer in Arkansas, an applicant must be 21 years old, a U.S. citizen, show a valid drivers license, have a high school diploma or GED, no felony record, and pass a psychological exam and a physical given by a doctor before being hired by a law enforcement agency.
FOX13's Jill Monier had the following exchange with Cheif Martin, first asking, "So someone like me could be put on the streets?"
"I could get a gun and a badge? I could arrest and write tickets? I don't have to be familiar with any Arkansas laws?"
"That's correct."
"I don't have to have any training whatsoever?"
"That's correct."
"No firearm training? I don't have to do a run or push-ups? And some departments would just let me on the streets on my own?"
"That's correct."
"That's scary."
The Crittenden County Sheriff's Office isn't letting this reporter on the streets, but the fact is they could. Other agencies put officers on the streets with no firearms training or knowledge of the law and let them loose to enforce law and order.
"We'd love to have stricter laws, we fight with standards all the time," said Martin. "We don't think it's safe to have uncertified people and non-trained people wearing a badge and gun driving a police car."
An average Crittenden County Sheriff's Deputy has 150 hours of training more than the state requires. But Chief Martin and Arkansas State Senator Jim Luker said officers in some small towns are playing the system, jumping from one department to the next.
"You look at these problematic departments, for the most part a lot of the same officers leave one department and go to another, and that's where we see the influx of problems," said Martin.
While in session at the Arkansas State Capitol, Senator Luker said he plans to meet with other lawmakers to address the issue.
"There's concern within the state police and governor's office with the situation, and everybody's interested in sitting down and talking it out to see what adjustments can be made to accommodate people's needs and yet avoid the position we're in now."
Senator Luker says the Arkansas certification law was enacted years ago after small departments complained they were paying for potential officers to train at the academy only to have them stolen away by other departments. But instead of solving problems, many say the law seems to have created bigger ones.
"Obviously it's a system that has holes in it and is letting people out on the street that probably shouldn't be," said Martin.
The Arkansas Committee on Law Enforcement Standards said there's no way to tell how many uncertified officers could be on the streets today.

It's time to get it together and get your tickets for the AN Day in Sacramento to see the River Cats play at Raley Field. If you have never been to Raley Field it is a GREAT ballpark. AND just for us...both these games will feature fireworks - YAY!!!
By popular vote, the games we will attend are Friday, July 2 and/or Saturday, July 3. You may chose to attend one or both games. We will be sitting in the Senate Seats which are $19 per seat per game - if we reach the minimum # of tickets. (I think this will be no problem if everyone that said they wanted tickets can still attend!) These seats are in sections 108 - 116. If you look at the stadium map it is the area in blue.
I will email the group that has already responded and let you all know who wants to carpool. Anyone who did not respond to the earlier survey, can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I am happy to include you in any emails about the event. I will leave carpool arrangements to you.
For those of you that want to stay in Sac, wacchampions has offered us a link for booking rooms through the hotel group he works for. You can use it to book rooms if you plan to stay overnight. There are two Holiday Inns close to the park. Sacramento-Capitol Plaza is the closest but West Sacramento is not very far either. Discounted prices at these hotels using the link below range from $69 to $89 per night.
To reserve tickets you need to do two things: 1) Paypal me your payment at: firstname.lastname@example.com AND 2) email me with the ticket dates and # of tickets for each date. I will individually confirm when I have received your payment. I need all payments by Monday, June 21.
This should be a bunch of fun! Hope you can join us!

Report of drug activity leads to Ventura chase, arrest
Ventura police said they arrested a 27-year-old Santa Paula man who fled while authorities responded to a report of apparent drug activity.
Just after 5 p.m. Tuesday, officers responded to a report of people involved in drug activity near a parked vehicle in the 1600 block of Tapir Circle, authorities said. Police said that when an officer arrived, a man fled and was chased into a ravine.
While the officer was pursuing the man, he lost his footing in the ravine and fell, hitting his head on a rock. However, the officer caught the man as he was climbing the other side of the ravine and took the man into custody, authorities said,
A loaded handgun was found in the suspect's vehicle, and narcotics were discovered on the ground nearby, police said.
Police said Jorge Garcia was booked into county jail on an accusation of being a felon in possession of a firearm, possession of a controlled substance and resisting arrest resulting in injury.
The officer was treated for his injuries at Ventura County Medical Center and released.

Domestic assault charges against a Brantley Town Councilman have been dismissed and the trial canceled after the alleged victim, the Town Councilman's wife, refused to continue with the court case.
Brantley's District One Town Councilman, Lorey Bogen, was originally arrested around 11:45 p.m. on July 4, 2012.
Brantley's Police Chief, Titus Averett, told WSFA 12 News that someone called to report a disturbance in the Pecan Circle area. When officers arrived, they found Bogen in a physical altercation with his wife.
Bogen was arrested and charged with domestic assault third degree.
Prosecutors dismissed the charge against Bogen after the victim expressed her intention to not proceed with the case. The prosecutors wrote in their motion for dismissal that innuendo and accusations made by one of the Brantley Police Officers in this case suggested a conspiracy in regards to tainted witness testimony in this case. The prosecutors stated no evidence could be found to support the theory.
Before the case was dismissed, Bogen had been scheduled for trial on April 17, 2013.

This route is located in the middle of the Case Face and climbs through the white lower half of the cliff up into dark varnish. Mostly good face climbing, protected by nuts and cams in the varnish where possible, bolts where not. The beginning is a little weird, with awkward moves to get to the first bolt. Since the protection looked pretty marginal from the ground, we toproped this climb by first climbing Space Case, then doing a second pitch up and right to get to the Head Case anchors. Once we got on the face, protection opportunities were more obvious.
Several bolts and small to medium gear.

WARRNAMBOOL'S Rohan Creed scored a shock victory at the Horsham Triathlon on Saturday.
Creed beat out Horsham's Chris Pye by one minute and ten seconds to take the title, with five-time winner Steve Gray finishing third.
Organiser Mark Pumpa said Warrnambool athletes were not initially expected to compete in Horsham, but Creed's entry late last week paid dividends.
"We had a new winner, which was one out of the bag because no one was expecting a Warrnambool guy to come along and win it," he said.
"We weren't expecting anyone from down there to come to be honest, but we had a phone call during the week saying a few blokes from down there would be coming.
"Normally it's mostly the same crew that comes along every year, but we had them come from everywhere and there was some good elite people there this year."

Creed said the Horsham race had left a big impression on him.
"I thought it was a fantastic event - it was really well run, there was a plenty of cheering along the course and a good bit of camaraderie between the competitors," he said.
"Events like that grow every year because of word of mouth I'll certainly be telling everyone down here how great it was and I'm sure there will be more going next year."
Creed said he was pushed by Pye despite his eventual winning margin, and it wasn't until the end of the race that he was truly able to relax and enjoy it.
A field of nearly 70 competitors and 10 teams tackled the long course event along the Wimmera River, with a further 11 athletes completing the long course duathlon.
Twenty-nine athletes and one team finished the short course triathlon.
There was also a strong junior field, but juniors did not have their times officially recorded and were not ranked.
Pumpa said it was the biggest and best field Tri Horsham had ever had at the event.
"The senior numbers were up on last year as were the kids numbers," he said.
"In takings, we were $500 further ahead on Friday night compared to previous years and we had more entries on Saturday as well.
"It's definitely the biggest field we've had, definitely the biggest number of professional triathletes we've had turn up and the biggest field of kids."
Pumpa said the increased entries and higher standard of the field were helped by Horsham's inclusion in the inaugural Telstra Rural Tri Series.
The series includes Benalla, Echuca, Albury, Shepparton and Horsham, with points for each event counting towards an overall Tri Series win.
Pumpa said the series had encouraged a more diverse range of athletes to come to Horsham.
"The rural series has got a lot of interest out there so we could have a look at maybe adopting Warrnambool into the series so that instead of five towns, we have six," he said.
"We've stepped things up another level as well with our professionalism and there's race points and money involved and by doing that, there's a lot more guys starting to turn up.
"Now we're really on the map for triathlons in Victoria."

Below is a generalised view. Please bear in mind that the salary, benefits and other arrangement can vary between each role and especially in each region.
Salaries vary a great deal between the schools, countries and regions. In some regions, the equivalent salary may seem smaller compared to what you are already getting. You need to take into consideration that many of the employment packages include accommodation, flights and medical insurance. Salaries are tax free in the Middle East, and you will receive low tax salaries in Asia and the Far East. The cost of living will also vary greatly.
Some of the things that you could expect in your employment package are; accommodation (single or shared), flights, medical insurance and an end of contract bonus.
It is not normal to be allowed to take holidays during the school time. You will
Again, each school is different. You may have annual return flights, a one-way flight and in some instances the schools will ask for you to pay for your own flight. The school will normally arrange for someone to meet you at the airport once you arrive to ensure that you get to your accommodation safely.
A majority of the employment packages include medical insurance coverage. However it is up to you on whether you arrange a private plan for yourself outside of what is covered.
Generally speaking, your contract will be for two years.

Nothing clears your schedule quite like a jury duty notice.
"I know a lot of [prospective jurors] were very nervous and scared. It makes people uncomfortable because they don't know how to expect," said Williamson, who was recently in a jury pool for a four day child abuse trial in Pennington County.
After more than 30 years on the bench, 7th Circuit Presiding Judge Jeff Davis knows what trouble absent jurors can cause the court.
"It's expensive to call a jury panel in. They receive $10 a day to just show up. it's not a lot of money, but when you bring in 80 people, it's $800. If you couldn't pick the jury today, the matter would have to be continued, so it does have a detrimental effect on the system," said Davis.
Now, a bill in the legislature promises stricter enforcement of your civic duty.
House bill 1070 would fine those who skip their jury duty between $50 to $500 dollars. A second infraction,and you can also be sentenced to 10 days in the county jail.
"I'd hate to think it would come to that to encourage people to participate with the rights we have in the US. Some people would be willing to pay the fine and not come too," said Williamson.
"In my experience, if you have someone who's taking extra measures not to come to jury service, you generally don't want them to hear the case anyway," said Davis.
While the bill may be aimed at a few scofflaw, many we spoke to were eager to serve.
"I know people who have been on a jury. There are people who enjoy it. I have just never heard of a shortage of people willing to show up for jury duty," said Quincy Weiler.
"I hope I get called again when I'm retired. it's important, but I'm not sure we need a law to enforce that. Hopefully people will do it as part of their civic duties," said Williamson.
House Bill 1070 passed the house of representatives Tuesday with a vote of 64 to 2.
In South Dakota, prospective jurors are selected from drivers license and voter registration pools.

Book Summary
Fire Mate, Book Two
Yorick "Rick" Hayes takes only two things seriously—his work as a veterinarian and the seduction of lovely ladies. He's unprepared for the lovely lady police officer who pulls him over for speeding, however. Inexplicable, overwhelming lust threatens to make him do something stupid—like try to seduce her on the side of the road. Throw in sudden flashes of past life memories and Rick is confused, monumentally horny and borderline obsessed with his sexy, no-nonsense cop.
For nearly half a century, Officer Kenna Mackay has denied her dragon side. Her twin sister was betrayed by her mate, and Kenna refuses to risk the same fate—until she makes eye contact with Rick. Her dragon awakens with a vengeance, the mating fire claiming both woman and beast. Hard. Hot. Unstoppable. And exquisitely arousing. The dragon wants her Fire Mate—now.
But history could repeat itself when that mate turns out to be a Druid; one who may have done something bad to dragon-kind in his past life. Something very, very bad indeed.

Is this why you didn't call for backup?
She stared at the serious man lifting the poor dog from the fence. A man who, only a short while ago, had been roguishly, worryingly sexy as he'd tried to flirt his way out of a ticket—and felt her entire existence burn hotter still.
And the only way that could be happening was if part of her existence, the part she'd denied for so long, was recognizing her destined mate. And there wasn't a hope in hell that was—
"The gauze, Officer. Now."
Kenna blinked, numb shock smacking into her. The man's blue gaze flicked from her to the dog and back, his expression both calm and determined.
Oh hell, the dog.
She leaped forward, pressing the folded strips of gauze to the torn wound in the beagle's left side. Hot blood flowed from the hole in the dog's body, staining the gauze red with horrific speed. But the animal didn't make a sound, nor fight the man sliding him from the fence. In fact, the dog gazed at him, something close to utter trust in his beautiful brown eyes as the spike quickly exited his body.
Kenna had never seen anything like it.
Without hesitation, she scooped her arm under the beagle and pressed her other hand to the wound, now freshly exposed. For a few seconds she held the dog's entire weight, her stare jerking between the surreally calm animal and the man she'd chased to this very spot, and then said man wrapped his arms around the dog, placed his hands over hers and said, "I've got him."
But the words didn't make it to her ears. Not when the roaring of her blood was so deafening. Not when, at the very instant he touched her, she was engulfed in heat so incinerating the only sense left to her was sight.
She gaped at him, her heart hammering its way into her throat, her mouth, her temple.
Good Lord, her Fire Mate was touching her.
No. It's not happening. I refuse to acknowledge—
"Honey, I know you're feeling whatever the fuck is happening between us as well, but you've got to let go of Barney now so I can save his life."
The words, uttered in a low murmur, made her blink. Her stomach clenched. No, her sex clenched. No, it was her chest, her heart. Her ass. Her wings…
Wings? Wings? What the hell is going on?
Kenna staggered back a step, sliding her hands from beneath his, her stare still locked with the stranger's.
And the fire consuming her abated. A little.
The man's lips curled in a loose smile, two dimples creasing either side of his mouth, his face turning from handsomely serious to blow-your-mind gorgeous. "We'll talk about that later," he said, curling his arms until he cradled the beagle against a chest Kenna only now noticed was broad and undeniably well sculpted. "But first…"
He turned from her and lowered the dog to the ground, the animal far calmer than he should be, given he'd just been impaled by a fence.
And yet even that fuck-with-your-head fact wasn't important. Not now. Not when, after forty-two years of constant, tenacious suppression, the dragon deep inside her was surging to awareness. The very aroused dragon.
God save her. It was mating time.

... and its hitting hard! No, correct that. Desperation already hit. This is after-impact; the aftermath of chaos.
The fan base already hit major frustration many weeks ago, but the decision to start Josh Freeman today reeks of desperation within the organization. For those who don't know: after several years of poor play, Josh Freeman was kicked off his team and picked up by Minnesota two weeks ago. He received maybe one week of first team reps and was asked to throw 53 passes against the Giants.
How many carries did the reigning NFL MVP Adrian Peterson get? A whole 13 carries.
What's more,.. Freeman completed only 20 of his 53 passes. That's a 37.7 completion percentage; the lowest mark for any quarterback throwing 40+ passes in the last 6 years. It wouldn't surprise me if there was some record broken about overthrown passes as well.
Christian Ponder (on one of his confident days) and former Pro Bowler Matt Cassel could have won this game.
I hate to throw more gasoline on the already out-of-control fire, but when the roster looked so promising in the off-season it's tough to see how it is put into action. Vikings forums and other social media are overflowing with negativity. It began with explicit Christian Ponder fan ramblings everywhere. Then Ponder was finally benched and there was a glimmer of hope as the Vikings barely got their only win of the season against a winningless team from Pittsburgh. Unfortunately, the losses keep piling on, and as if that wasn't enough, valuable players like linebacker Desmond Bishop and safety Harrison Smith are lost to long-term injuries.
When you think it can't get any worse, the Minnesota Vikings are hitting a new low point week after week. The last one being an embarrassing loss to the Giants today where the special teams were the only ones managing to put up points for Minnesota. Minnesota has talent! The fans know that, as well as the experts. The starting of Freeman today is just one recent (but obvious) example of very questionable decisions in how the players are being used (or not used).

Bob Stoops won a national championship in 2000. That's 14 years ago. He is still fighting for his kids and recruits and the loyal Sooner program backs him!! Congratulations Sooners on bringing another Bowl win to the Big 12!
Contrast that to Mack Brown who disgraces his loyal followers by "resigning" because he didnt win the conference this season and the program needs "new blood". Longhorns are fortunate to be rid of that yellow belly back stabbing coward who has no problem lying to the face of the fans who have supported him to the end as he was looking only to fill his pocketbook to make up for his empty character.
I just love how the Longhorn players that claim to care and admire Mack Brown so much took that love as motivation to give him a final game that he truly deserves, and darned if that isnt exactly what they did true to the sincerity of their public/media comments!!!! Us Longhorns can always trust the Mccoy family to perform in the big game, and just like the result of his big brother Colt in the championship game against Alabama, Case reached down in his heart for Mack and threw 2 big touchdown passes!!!! I hope Case's younger brothers Zeke, Cartridge and Winchester turn out to be just as productive for the next greedy coach to fill his pockets with Longhorn alumni money in place of Brown.

Google Penguin – Dude Where's My Links
With all the recent Google updates it is hard sometimes to see the wood for the trees. When Penguin landed with new spam classification rules it had SEO's running for cover. Sites disappeared and the results and rankings began to appear as if they were tidal moving in and out, up and down. Some days rising and some days dropping at a faster rate than previously seen.
Imagine the question at Mountain View an imperious Matt Cutts brooding on a balcony uttering the immortal words
'To link or not to link- That is the question' and then finally deciding 'Cry havoc and let slip the bots of quality content'
Immediate attention Post Penguin (PP) was focused on the most holy of SEO Dogmas the inbound link.
Straight off Penguin had rules set to discount certain types of links from certain web resources appearing in certain numbers. The result lots of sites received the notorious Google web master email between Feb – May. This email notified web masters that unusual or potentially fraudualent links had been discovered pointing to the website.
This could be to do with too many links with exact match anchor text pointing to a site and that these links could be from potential low quality or built for SEO purpose sites . You might be familiar with the type single page domains in networks with spun or low quality content.
Bill Slawski gives an excellent breakdown of how Google looks to classify link behaviour and index and place a value on a link based on factors link type of anchor text and position on the page.
What emerged PP is that these links were most likely dampened and not penalised. Sites retained some high rankings and completely lost others PP. The situation re link behaviour was far more complex than first thought. Though as Bill points out in his post the particular patent he analysed specifically looks at the Google Place Page. It is possible this method or something very similar was put in place on sites outside of Google.
Google Penguin – Dude It's Not the Links
But in the Merry Month of May far more was happening than Google addressing the quality of inbound links. Dave Harry did a great job in May of holding back on an analysis of the Penguin update as he says there was simply too much going on to make accurate analysis. Dave cautions against regarding Penguin as simply an update about unnatural links. His line of thought is that Google are moving away from the idea of Page Rank from links and that elements of trust and authority are now being scored by additional onsite factors.
This leaves the thorny issue of where does authority come from now? One place we might start to look is the concept of users as authors of the web. Duncan will be speaking more on this at the State of Digital Day on the 27th.
Backing up Dave Harry's (though not implicitly) ideas that Penguin shifted much more than just link evaluation and indexing. Chris Crum looked at the Tom Waits and Otis Reading updates which both have a very specific focus on how titles are presented and generated in search results.
So why are we seeing tidal SERP activity which is more movement then previously we have seen?
Going way back Google added a Coffee flavoured algo change that was focused in large part on the speed of indexing content. But it seems movement is now on an almost daily basis in a process of adjustment with very few sites achieving a static position.
The recent freshness updates seemed to be focused on providing the most relevant results for certain query types.
Movement may come down to the nature of the niche other sites in the SERPs being re crawled. The point is not to pin everything on one solution there could be a myriad of potential answers to test and analyse.

Does this sound familiar? A dozen people are outside at a party and you are the only one eaten up by mosquitoes. So, is it true those pests could flock to one person like a drive through at a fast food restaurant?
The answer comes from the Smithsonian, and it's yes, that can happen, but it's unlikely that only one person could have what they want. On the list of what attracts a mosquito, number one is beer, and it doesn't just give you away in your breath.
"Your skin kind of will give off some ethanol, it will kind of come out of your pores," says Mike Mclean a mosquito expert.
The number two is increased body heat. For example, after exercise, that brings a build-up of lactic acid in the system, which is also attractive to mosquitoes.
Number three is pregnancy. They have a higher body heat and pregnant women exhale 20% more carbon dioxide, another calling card to mosquitoes.
Number four is blood type. Researchers have found that type o blood is apparently the tastiest to a mosquito. Those folks are twice as likely to get bitten as other blood types.
Number 5 is something we all have that mosquitoes like, dark colored clothes: blacks, blues and reds.
So yes, mosquitoes prefer certain body chemicals but anyone of us could fit the bill at some point.
Now, this tip from the New York Times, at your next back yard party, plug in some oscillating fans, mosquitoes are weak flyers and that will help keep them out of range. But also, the wind will help disperse some of the body chemicals that attract them.

This past Saturday in Auburn, the Gamecock defense was run over, our starting QB had two critical fumbles, and we were manhandled in the trenches. Yet, somehow, we still had a shot to win the football game. Nonetheless, the final score was Auburn 35 South Carolina 27.
What none of us could have expected was the way the Auburn rushing attack would perform. If someone would have told me that the Tigers would have 334 rushing yards against our vaunted defense I'd have thought they were crazy. If that same person, or anyone else, would have told me that Carolina would only have 79 yards on the ground I certainly wouldn't have believed them. However, that was the case and the simple truth is that we lost the line battle on both sides of the football. The DL and OL have to perform better for us to have the kind of season we need.
Last week I wrote a story entitled "Not Good Enough" that detailed my thoughts on Stephen Garcia's performance thus far and his inability to protect the football. I urged #5 to prove me wrong. Unfortunately, he made me look like a savant. Garcia will not, maybe cannot, guard the football the way it should be guarded. I don't know how many times he's going to have to lose it to recognize that throwing it away, sliding, or using two hands to cover it up as he's being hit will keep drives alive. At this point, I don't want to know how many times it will take because I don't want to give him that opportunity. I think Connor Shaw is close enough, as a true freshman, to Garcia, a redshirt junior, that it's time to make a change and go with the young gun. Sure, he threw two picks, but the second one was one of those that a separate category other than INT should be created for, and the first was a nice drop back disguise by the Auburn LB. Plus, talk about a pressure cooker of a situation to be dropped into. Sheesh. Shaw looked good avoiding the pass rush and did a great job keeping his eyes focused down field. Even my wife noted how much more fluid he looks compared to the awkward Garcia. Either way SOS goes with the QB decision, controversy has arrived.
This loss hurts. A win would have put on us on a nice path to at least a nine win season. Though that or better is still possible, it didn't make things easier. On top of our loss, Georgia losing to Mississippi State and moving to 0-3 in the SEC takes away some of the luster of that victory and puts doubt in the minds of Gamecock fans as to how good we are. I think we're pretty good, but I don't know that we're ready for Atlanta. We SHOULD win every game left on the schedule except for Alabama, Arkansas, and Florida. That doesn't mean we can't or won't win any of those ballgames, but I doubt we'll be favored in any of the three. South Carolina needs to win eight games in the regular season. We need that to show recruits (specifically Jadeveon Clowney in this cycle) and the college football world that we're making noise and will be back next year to compete again.
We can still vie for the East in 2010. I've not abandoned all hope. The team has got to truly take things a game at a time and work to get better every day. We're not supposed to beat Alabama on October 9. We probably will not beat Alabama that day. However, upsets obviously exist, and regardless of that outcome there is still a lot of football to be played after that game has passed. Unlike many teams we've had who've lacked effort, that's not the case here. We didn't quit on the Plains last weekend; we lost. If Alabama beats us in Columbia in two weeks, they'll have to earn it. A Gamecock fights to the death, and we're still alive.

Turkish Figs
Certified: Gluten-Free Kosher
Moist and succulent, dried Turkish Figs are simply great! These figs are all natural with no preservatives and one of the sweetest fruits available. Always moist and always fresh, these Turkish figs are tops when it comes to snacking and baking.
Health Tips
2. Turkish figs are fat-free and, like other plant foods, cholesterol-free.
3. Turkish figs are high in fiber, providing 20% of the Daily Value --- more dietary fiber per serving than any other common dried or fresh fruit.
4. Of the approximately five grams of fiber per serving of Turkish figs, four grams are insoluble and one gram is water-soluble.
5. Figs have the highest overall mineral content of all common fruits. A 40 gram (1/4 cup) serving provides 244 mg of potassium (7% of the DV), 53 mg of calcium (6% of the DV) and 1.2 mg of iron (6% of the DV).
6. Turkish figs fit into 5-A-Day -- the 40 gram serving is an easy way to add a serving of fruit to reach the daily recommendation of five fruits and vegetables.
7. The antioxidant boost provided by fruit consumption lasts about 2 hours. Which dried fruits are the best? Of the six fruits tested--apricots, cranberries, dates, figs, raisins and plums--shooting to a surprise finish at number one was... figs! Even the high fructose corn syrup in the soda is no match for the antioxidant power of fruit. Despite the double sugar load, subjects washing down their figs with soda still experienced an overall rise in antioxidant levels in their bloodstream. In addition to having the highest antioxidant content among the six fruits tested, of the thousands of whole foods in the USDA nutrient database, figs make the top ten for fiber content.

year started with "The Great Outdoors", our first topic of the new year
welcoming everyone back with an interesting nature and wildlife theme.
We have been busy searching for evidence of the plants and wildlife around us during a wildlife walk, where we were also able to collect natural material to use in our artwork back in the classroom.
In Science and ICT we have been categorising nature and using branching databases to show various ways we can do it. We also thoroughly enjoyed our visit from Jonathon's Jungle Roadshow where we got to meet some amazing creatures face to face and appreciate their similarities and differences close up!
In numeracy we have also been searching the great outdoors for angles, especially right angles around the school premises and in Literacy we have been studying information texts and writting our own on an animal we have researched.
We have thoroughly enjoyed this topic and are looking forward to our next topic with interest.
