Bay District School teachers could soon see some additional money in their paychecks. However, the District and Association of Bay County Educators haven't reached a negotiation just yet.
Governor Rick Scott intended to give teachers a $2,500 pay raise this year. The state gave the District more than $4 Million to be negotiated and distributed among teachers. However, that contribution isn't enough to meet the governor's original intention in Bay County.
ABCE is asking the District to still give teachers the $2,500 raise plus any raise they would normally receive.
The District is offering a smaller increase. In the meeting, they also said they have to look into how raises this year may affect future years and budgets.
As of Tuesday, the two groups still have some details to negotiate.
"We hope soon. The teachers in Bay County have waited a very long time for any kind of pay raise, and they deserve it," said Cindy Fowler, ABCE's Chief Negotiator.
The District and ABCE met for less than two hours Tuesday afternoon. They agreed to resume negotiations in about three weeks on October 21st.

Covering games at the Coliseum can be a bit hectic, as we can attest to. When you cover games for so long at one venue (for us, Home Depot Center), and then suddenly you are thrust into an unfamiliar venue, it can throw you off which is exactly what happened to us during a Gold Cup doubleheader in 2005.
The first game did not live up to expectations. Mexico had just lost to South Africa 2-1 and Guatemala lost to Jamaica 4-3 two days before at Home Depot Center. Mexico-Guatemala, we figured, would be a good game. Instead, it was a 4-0 blowout. The match was memorable because Jared Borgetti scored two goals and became Mexico's all-time leading scorer.
After the match was over, I made my way down to the tunnel with Andrea as well as Paul Gutierrez (then of the L.A. Times) and Matt Zimmerman (then of the Long Beach Press-Telegram). Though we had strength in numbers, we didn't really have an idea of where we were going. Somehow, Andrea ended up leading us; Matt, Paul and I just kind of floated behind figuring someone would take the lead. Andrea took the initiative as the blind led the blind.
At Home Depot Center, one way to get to the tunnel is through the stands, sort of by Section 138 where the Riot Squad congregates during Galaxy games. So we figured the same would hold true at the Coliseum.
It didn't as we quickly found out. We walked at the edge of the section in that picture, to the right of the tent covering the entrance to the tunnel. Nobody stopped us, so we kept on walking until we got to the grass. As soon as we were down there, I knew we were somewhere where we shouldn't have been. I looked to my right and there was nothing standing between me and the
field. I could have sprinted to the midfield if I'd have wanted to.
We saw the tunnel and walked towards it. We also saw the South African and Jamaican teams standing in two lines, waiting to walk out onto the field. I definitely knew then that we made a wrong turn somewhere. Oh well. Nothing we could do about it but keep walking.
I looked over and saw Tyrone Marshall, figured what the hell and shouted "Good luck Tyrone!"
He glanced over and said "All right man, yeah man," as we scurried past.

I was telling Grant Wahl that story last night. I couldn't believe everyone followed me. All I'd been told was that the mixed zone was in the tunnel - and so I was trying to get down there.
I still remember the security guy's face. He was standing next to the fence they set up to keep the press out, and we came walking up the tunnel on the inside of it, from the field.
He said, "You're supposed to be on that side!"

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- It may be the last thing you're anticipating during the Fourth of July festivities, but the United States Department of Agriculture is warning consumers to be cautious when cooking.
Food poisoning cases spike during the summer, as people cook out on the grill and the hot weather makes it easy for food to spoil quickly.
Experts at the USDA have provided tips to help people enjoy the Fourth, without the illness:
* When grilling out, experts say make sure to bring hand sanitizer and cleaning supplies to keep your hands and cooking utensils clean. Also, use separate plates for uncooked and cooked meat.
* Use a meat thermometer to make sure burgers are cooked to 160 degrees. Poultry should be 165 degrees.
* Finally, experts say food should not be left outside for more than an hour. Store leftovers in a cooler, ideally one that is kept at 40 degrees and won't be opened frequently.

Mother Banjo is a one-woman band featuring Ellen Stanley on banjo and vocals. Her music combines the haunting sounds of traditional folk and gospel with contemporary alt-country and Americana hooks. Poetic and rich, her songs are sad, sweet and full of the stories that inhabit the wide open prairies of the Midwest.
Raised on rock and pop music and trained classically on piano, oboe and voice, Ellen fell in love with folk music as a teenager as she became hooked on public radio and discovered the church coffeehouse scene in southern Connecticut. It was there that she got exposed to a wide variety of acoustic artists and devoured the sounds of singer-songwriters, bluegrass bands and old-timey ballads. Although an avid prose and poetry writer, Ellen did not connect with her own songwriting voice until she graduated from college and moved to Minneapolis where she bought a house, got a cat and took up the banjo. After performing pretty regularly at cabaret-style variety shows and open mics, Ellen has started touring nationally, hitting clubs and coffeehouses from New York City to the Montana Rockies.
An engaging live performer, Mother Banjo weaves humorous stories with fun covers and her own original material. She has performed at prestigious venues like The Ark (Ann Arbor, MI) and the Cedar Cultural Center (Minneapolis, MN) and has shared the stage with such notable songwriters as Cliff Eberhardt and Tracy Grammer. She showcased at the 2009 International Folk Alliance Conference in Memphis, TN and will be touring throughout the country in support of her new album.
Produced by Darren Jackson (Kid Dakota, The Hopefuls) and John Hermanson (Storyhill, The Hopefuls), Mother Banjo's first full-length album The Sad and Found was released April 23, 2009 and follows up on the success of her EP Swing Low (named one of the top local releases of 2007 by St. Paul Pioneer Press critic Ross Raihala). The album was recorded at Darren's studio and features performances by the best acoustic talent in the Twin Cities, including members of The Roe Family Singers, Eliza Blue, "Sneaky" Pete Bauer, Jaspar Lepak, Art Vandalay and Matt Novachis (Keri Noble, Molly Maher, Tina Schlieske).
The Sad and Found starts with a bittersweet break-up song ("One Hello") and travels through the heartache and hope that lie along the rocky road of love. Original story songs like "This Fall" and "Green Jacket" sit comfortably alongside unique covers of Josh Ritter's "Leaving" and Stephen Foster's "Oh, Susanna." Mixing contemporary indie-folk sounds with traditional folk and gospel energy, Mother Banjo's full-length album showcases her commanding vocals and minimalist banjo playing, creating a unique sound that appeals to Americana, country indie and folk fans alike.

I know I checked Good Value and Expensive. It is a good value when compared with other feeding methods on this same level. However it is not cheap.
My dogs do love this food. I have a picky older St. Benard with allergy issues and this is great. She used to get a lot of people food so the fact she actually will eat this all is great. My other mix loves it as well. Even the cat wants to try to eat it!

I recently graduated from college, so I went home and celebrated with my parents. I'm a simple person who didn't need a graduation party. I instead celebrated this occasion by drinking beers with my father and watching the Giants play Arizona over the weekend. As we were watching Matt Cain shutdown the Diamondbacks my dad made an interesting comment. He said, "I should have never raised a Giants fan."
I laughed for a second, then I asked him what he meant? He said he should have never raised a Giants fan, because the Giants have brought him nothing but heartbreak over the years and that I should have never been subjected to the same heartbreak.
Now my dad is almost 60 years old. He's watched the Giants since they moved to the Bay Area. His favorite player of all-time is Willie McCovey. He's seen the highs and lows of the Giants. He told me how the 1970's Giants were plain terrible and how the 1980's Giants were some of the most exciting teams he's ever seen. And for someone who has never read this site, he bascially has the same opinion about Sabean, Bochy, and what the lineup should look like everyday with MCC. He has truly seen it all when it comes to our beloved Giants.
It's too late for me, I'm to integrated into the Giants culture at this point. I watched my first Giants game at Candlestick in the early 90's, fell in love with Matt Williams and never looked back. And you know what the Giants have brought me? Nothing but heartache.
So back to my original point, why did my father raise a Giants fan? He raised me as a Giants fan because baseball is a fathers and sons game. All of us have great stories about watching the Giants with our father. Even as I get older, I still enjoy watching and discussing the Giants with my dad. It's the one thing we will always have in common. My father enjoyed watching Mays and McCovey with his father and he enjoys watching the Giants with me. I hope when I start a family my son or daughter will enjoy watching the Giants with me.
I'm glad I was raised as a Giants fan, because it gave me a chance to connect with my father. That is what I will cherish about the Giants for the rest of my life.

This. Is a LoveSac…
Notice the look of pure bliss on my face.
I discovered this (not so) little gem in the mall today in Greenville, South Carolina.
Normally, I detest going to the mall. And by detest, I mean I'd rather sit in a dentist chair. But today I went to the mall. We're out of town for my son's AAU basketball tournament in South Carolina, and there was some time to kill between the end of the first game and the time when it was acceptable to check into the hotel. So I was at the mall. And I braced myself for the boredom that I would face for the next hour or so.
And then it all changed. I met the LoveSac (insert inappropriate humor here).
As you can see from the picture(s), the LoveSac (feel free to snicker each and every time I say it) is an enormous, luxury, cushioned seat/chair/lounger, complete with cushioned foot rest. It's a bean bag chair on steroids. Soft, delightful, and super comfortable steroids, apparently.
My experience in this 8th wonder of the world led me to a few thoughts…
- Jesus was involved in the creation of the LoveSac. I am 100% sure of this. Don't believe me? Read this.
- In Heaven, there will be at least one LoveSac in every residence. Possibly one in every room (also the toilets may even be made from them). If there's not, well, then, God and I are going to have one very impassioned discussion about the matter.
- If I lived near the Greenville mall, could I get away with escaping to the LoveSac Store every afternoon for a 30-minute, public nap in one of these things? And if so, is that reason enough to relocate my family to the greater Greenville area? Would the employees of the store eventually get tired of me? Kick me out? Ban me? And if that happened, how could I ever nap anywhere else ever again?
- I don't have a Man Cave. But if I did, the whole feng shui would be rooted in the presence and power of the LoveSac.
- Pretty sure I just totally misused the concept of feng shui.
- Now that I know the LoveSac exists, it's going on the list of things I know I don't need but am finding it increasingly difficult to live without. The list includes, but is not limited to…HD TV (yes, I know, I'm the last man on the planet without it), Memory Foam mattress, and giant peanut butter cups.
- Yesterday, I blogged about the ills of sitting. Although technically you lounge in a LoveSac, disregard everything I said yesterday about the dangers of sitting if the sitting happens to be in a LoveSac.
Oh, and if anyone would like to donate a LoveSac, I know a needy person…

The First Time (from the archives)
23 Apr 2013
The clock reads 12:03. He'll be home for lunch soon. She marks the page in her book and unfolds herself from the hideous couch, with its big blue flowers. She opens the shades of the single window, letting a faint beam of light into the dull gloom that is their apartment. They have lived here for a month now in this unfamiliar town, far enough away from home that no one has bothered to visit.
In the bathroom, she surveys her face. It's bloated. Pregnancy pounds. She's only in her sixth month, but her face has filled out something awful. Quickly, she applies concealer and a bit of lipstick. Lining her eyes makes them look a little less red. She slips out of her pjs and into the blue tent shirt that her mother bought. The old gray sweat pants still fit over her belly and she's thankful for that. Read the rest of this entry »

O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. They are friends one to another. He among you who taketh them for friends is (one) of them. Lo! Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk. And thou seest those in whose heart is a disease race toward them, saying: We fear lest a change of fortune befall us. And it may happen that Allah will vouchsafe (unto thee) the victory, or a commandment from His presence. Then will they repent them of their secret thoughts. (5:51-52)
O Ye who believe! Choose not for guardians such of those who received the Scripture before you, and of the disbelievers, as make a jest and sport of your religion. But keep your duty to Allah if ye are true believers. (5:57)
Why do not the rabbis and the priests forbid their evil-speaking and their devouring of illicit gain ? Verily evil is their handiwork. (5:63)
It is not for the Prophet, and those who believe, to pray for the forgiveness of idolaters even though they may be near of kin (to them) after it hath become clear that they are people of hell-fire. (9:113)
Thou wilt not find folk who believe in Allah and the Last Day loving those who oppose Allah and His messenger, even though they be their fathers or their sons or their brethren or their clan. As for such, He hath written faith upon their hearts and hath strengthened them with a Spirit from Him, and He will bring them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide. Allah is well pleased with them, and they are well pleased with Him. They are Allah's party. Lo! is it not Allah's party who are the successful? (58:22)
O ye who believe! Choose not My enemy and your enemy for allies. Do ye give them friendship when they disbelieve in that truth which hath come unto you, driving out the messenger and you because ye believe in Allah, your Lord ? If ye have come forth to strive in My way and seeking My good pleasure, (show them not friendship). Do ye show friendship unto them in secret, when I am Best Aware of what ye hide and what ye proclaim ? And whosoever doeth it among you, he verily hath strayed from the right way. (60:1)

Why Is Simon & Schuster Spreading the Wild Conspiracy Theories of an Unhinged Islamophobic Blogger?
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Threshold Editions, the imprint upon which megapublisher Simon & Schuster dumps books it's too ashamed to release under its own name, made a ballsy bet: that Pamela Geller -- a deeply unhinged blogger who famously claimed that Barack Obama is the bastard child of Malcolm X -- has an audience sufficiently large and loyal to justify a six-figure advance. Makes sense! If MSNBC, Fox, NBC and CNN have Geller on, the pool of inbred, 50-something Tea Partiers desirous of an icky melange of silicone and Tom Tancredo talking points cannot possibly have gone dry. Right?
Mary Matalin, the head of the imprint, is making a play for a crowd that can't spell "niggar" but won't mind reading a book about a man they see as just that -- so long as it confirms their half-baked theories. What better way to siphon off Tea Partiers than through a lady who cheerfully befouls the Upper West Side with a toxic brew of rotating hatreds? On days ending in Y this includes Muslims ("The motor of this presidency is submission to Islam"), transgenders ("Does [Obama] chill with anyone who is normal?") and health care reform -- or as she calls it, " rape."
This is bull goose loony territory, but it happens to be the language of modern conservatism. William Buckley's body had not been in the ground 10 minutes before the National Review embraced Geller, happily laundering stories they wouldn't publicly touch with a 10-foot noose. Here's how it works: A couple weeks prior to the last presidential election, a Review editor linked to Geller's blog and asked, "What is the deal with Obama's birth certificate and citizenship status?" (Sort of like Seinfeld, but Catholic!) This, in turn, gave the magazine license to spend 4,000 words answering the question.
In another era, Pam Geller would be rotting away on Blackwell's Island, counting cockroaches. Instead, the former associate publisher of the New York Observer managed to parlay her ability to find common cause with fascists and mid-level neo-Nazis, and her overt hatred of Muslims and liberal Jews, into an asset instead of a disqualifier. For Geller, a Borscht Belt Ann Coulter shtick is profitable.
Which brings us, alas, to the book. The Post-American Presidency is filled with complete sentences and grammar that is not conspicuously bad. But the chapter and section headings tell the tale: "An Islamo-Christian Nation," "Freedom of Speech in the Age of Jihad," "ACORN: Federally Funded Fraud," "Muslims in High Places," and so on. The John Birch book club search for a summer read is over.
That the book exists at all is a genuine testament to the editors. The ideas are straight out of Geller's blog. Sure, the unfiltered language is mostly gone -- headlines such as "Obama, Arab American Bastard," " Obama Monkeys With Racism" and "President Ball Sucker" are nowhere to be found -- but the underlying notions remain. Simon & Schuster has made Geller's words just presentable enough not to embarrass the rest of its stable (Karl Rove, Glenn Beck, a few Congressmen, etc.) but didn't sanitize it so much that her howler monkey fans will be angry.
Look at The Post-American Presidency as a Harper's Index:
Number of times President Obama is referred to as Barack Hussein Obama (excluding notes and index): 52
Number of times the phrase "new world order" appears: 1
Number of pedophiles with whom Geller implies Obama had a less-than-wholesome relationship: 1
Number of conspiracies involving Timothy Geithner and Barack Obama's mother: 1

The Cave Route is fun and can get pretty tight near the top. Climbing with a pack is not the best idea. The crux is certainly at the top of the cave where you have to squeeze your way out. There is a good belay anchor off a tree trunk to belay your partner up if needed. The remainder of the climb is class 4. Roping up is opitional for the half ass second pitch.

Tax Credit
How Does the Program Work?
In an effort to reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provides a tax credit to help offset the costs of energy efficiency improvements in your home. Key details include:
Tax credits apply to a variety of products including doors, windows, heating & cooling equipment, installation costs, and more.
The credit amount is = to 30% of the installed cost of qualifying products, up to a total amount of $1,500.
Congress extended this provision for 2012 with some modifications to eligibility requirements, and reductions in the cap to $300 per home. The $300 limit applies to heating and cooling equipment and to building envelope improvements, and applies to all years – if you received a credit in 2011 of $300 or more, you cannot receive it again in 2012. In addition, there are some instances where there is a cap on a specific product, see equipment descriptions below for details.
Economic Advantage
Many homeowners are excited about this program because tax credits, unlike deductions, are subtracted directly from the total amount you owe on your personal income taxes. For example, if you complete your tax return and calculate that you owe the IRS $3,000, a tax credit of $300 will reduce your tax bill to only $2,500. Check with your tax adviser on specific information relating to tax credits.
Tax Credits for 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012
To take advantage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 tax credits, you must purchase your qualifying high-efficiency comfort system between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2012. Your savings won't be limited to a one-time tax credit. You will continue to save money each month as your new high-efficiency systems reduce your monthly energy bills. Call us today at Quality Air for more information on tax credits and the benefits of long term energy savings!

AIRWAY HEIGHTS, Wash. (AP) - Authorities are investigating a second staff member at the Airway Heights Corrections Center for alleged sexual misconduct with an inmate. According to court documents, an employee is accused of having phone sex with an inmate. Airway Heights police say the inmate made at least 92 calls to a number which investigators believe belongs to the prison employee. The employee could face felony charges for custodial sexual misconduct in the 1st Degree. The Spokane County prosecutor recently filed charges against a former sex therapist at the prison for allegedly having an inappropriate relationship with an inmate.
TWEET FROM ALEX ROZIER: Apparently the second person accused has met the inmate's family while he was in jail, according to phone calls recorded involving the two.
TWEET FROM ALEX ROZIER: The other employee, exactly 30 years younger, is being investigated for the same charge. This is a felony.
TWEET FROM ALEX ROZIER: This court filing comes one day after charges were filed against Sarah Brooks for three counts of 1st degree custodial sexual misconduct.
TWEET FROM ALEX ROZIER: Developing story out of Airway Heights. Another Corrections Center employee is being investigated right now.
KHQ.COM - The Airway Heights Corrections Center is now investigating a 2nd staff member for sexual misconduct with an inmate. Right now we're awaiting more details from authorities. As soon as we get new information we'll post it here on KHQ.com, Facebook and our Twitter news feed.

When the maker of tumblr is on your dashboard, always reblog.
Number one rule of Tumblr.
He looks good O.O
my friends on facebook gotta look at this ;)
Always. Reblog. No. Matter. What. Blog. You. Have.
i feel like i dont have the right to use tumblr if i dont reblog this
//I don't usually reblog David's face, but you guys got to admit- he is pretty good looking.
pretty sure THIS is the reason tumblr made me question if i was straight.
i tried to scroll past this but that one reblog just might save somebodies life
all things love & all things relatable.
what if
the whole "mirror mirror on the wall who's the fairest of them all" thing was created so that
little girls would do it in the mirror and
when their reflection didn't change they'd see how beautiful they are
that is the most beautiful thing i have read all week
I don't want BABS to win bc this isn't their division! There has been a war between these 3 teams (WCSS, SE, F5) for years and they just show up to take over when they were perfectly fine in medium. Say whatever you want but that's my opinion…. Nothing technical about it bc they are amazing and could get first, but I just don't think they deserve a first place title in a division that already had a battle going on for years before they came.


text: I've been in full-on hermit mode the past week and have been reading just about everything I can about the goings-on in free agency. Being football deprived tends to do that to me. With all that I've read I can't recall seeing any article that attached Donte Whitner's name to, well, anyone. While the majority of us (if not everyone) believe that Whitner isn't worth the contract he's seeking, I am curious to see what people think about the possiblity of Buffalo re-signing him. Put aside the thought of contract terms and instead assume that CHIX and Whitner can work out a deal. Would you be open to Whitner's return? Would his return be a positive (consistency, reasonable level of play) or a detriment (not elite, keep other players from developing)? Can you see yourself rooting for him if he donned the spiffy new duds? Or has he poisoned the well with his comments and attitude?

Pink Overdosed in 1995, Explains She Was "On All the Club Drugs"
Pink's Overdose Scare
Pink overdosed in 1995, she reveals in a new interview.
It's pretty well known that Pink was a wild child in her youth, but this new development shows how she was scared straight into drop the hard partying.
In the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, Pink reveals that she was interested in playing a sex addict in the upcoming film Thanks for Sharing "because I understand addiction. I was a hardcore partyer from 12 to 15."
Read: Pink Has Gallbladder Removed
Wow. Talk about a wild childhood.
Pink explains that she was "on all the club drugs," even "selling Ecstasy and crystal meth and Special K."
In 1995, she explains, "I overdosed." It was a definite wake-up call that had her quitting cold turkey.
Pink shared that after the overdose, "I never took drugs again, ever."
Pink's new addiction isn't quite as dangerous, as she talks about shopping for her daughter, Willow, explaining, "I'm in so much trouble with [my husband] Carey for the s**t I buy for her."
See: Pink Photo Gallery
She adds, "Because a one-year-old shouldn't have Diesel jeans. But it tends to slip my mind when I see them because they're so cute."
Mini-sized designer duds will do that to you -- but Pink has the bank account to support the pricey habit.

It's the dog days of summer. Temperatures in the 90s send most people out to the pool!
Star City Shores was packed with kids trying to keep cool while having fun. A crowd favorite?The water slides.
"They're really fun and really slippery."
"The little red one you just hit water at the end. The big ones go really fast."
"going down slides you just get to scream!"
"when you get to the bottom, water splashes."
"you can actually do 'the bat', it's where you do this and you go underwater."
"they're just really fast." said kids we talked to.
They also said "100 degree heat? no problem".
"I like going in this area and playing with my brothers."
"I just like being in the water and having fun."
"you get to meet new friends and play."
If it weren't for the relief at star city shores...Kids might be doing something different.
"sitting inside being bored."
But it's not just two legged things trying to stay cool... Animals at the zoo have unique frozen treats to beat the heat.
"River otters enjoy fishsicles. Most kids enjoy popsicles, but here we have fishsicles and probably the biggest predators we have here at the zoo, leopards we keep them cool...we provide them with bloodsicles." said John Chapo of the Lincoln Children's Zoo.

NEW ALBANY, IN (WAVE) -- A man from Louisville wants to make sure a Union Civil War soldier is remembered for who he was, not the mistake that happened after he died.His headstone in a cemetery could be all that's left of Leonard Jones. Men like him didn't leave a lot of physical marks behind."Most Civil War soldiers didn't even take pictures," said John Gatton, a history buff and Vice Commander of the Sons of Union Veterans. "They were from the country and they moved around."But on Private Jones' tombstone at New Albany National Cemetery, for the last century and a half Leonard Jones has been remembered as Leonard Combs. Jones died from illness as the Army was on the move and was buried at Young's Farm near West Point in Hardin County.It may seem like a small battle, this name of a Civil War soldier who died generations ago, but Gatton says it likely matters very much to Jones' family and it should matter to all who have served in the name of this country. "It was just a family farm cemetery and it was right off the road, so that's where they buried him," Gatton said.Read more at WAVE's website.

During my years as a secondary school Campus Minister I taught a course in Christian Service and always began and ended the course with the prayer/poem below. When the students first showed up for the course all they wanted was to jump ahead and get out to direct service. They were impatient with the intermediary stages of theological reflection on their experience and learning about the systemic issues related to direct service.
I think it's fair to say that by the end of the course they had a much better sense of this prayer. In some ways the course was a process of living this reality.
Trust in the Slow Work of Godby Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 1881-1955, Jesuit, Paleontologist, Biologist, Philosopher, and Visionary
Above all, trust in the slow work of GodWe are quite naturally impatient in everything
to reach the end without delay
We should like to skip the intermediate stages.
We are impatient of being on the way to something
unknown, something new. And yet it is the law of all progress
that it is made by passing through
some stages of instability-
and that it may take a very long time. And so I think it is with you.
your ideas mature gradually – let them grow,
let them shape themselves, without undue haste. Don't try to force them on,
as though you could be today what time
(that is to say, grace and circumstances
acting on your own good will)
will make of you tomorrow. Only God could say what this new spirit
gradually forming within you will be. Give Our Lord the benefit of believing
that his hand is leading you, and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself
in suspense and incomplete.

Grief-stricken Torquay family's thanks for support after death of baby Isla
Posted: February 28, 2013|
THE funeral for tragic baby Isla Winnie Kelly is being held on Tuesday, March 5.
The service is being held at St Mary the Virgin Church in St Marychurch at noon.
Mum Carla Thompson has said through her Facebook page she would like those attending the funeral to bring a single pink rose instead of bouquets and wreaths.
There will be a collection for the SIDS charity, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
Related content
Carla said: "You have all been so kind and every penny of your donations has gone to giving Isla the send-off she deserves — fit for a princess.
"Thanks for all your support. It's genuinely carried us this far."
The seven-month old baby died on Tuesday, February 18, in intensive care at Bristol Royal Children's Hospital after being discovered unconscious by her parents Ms Thompson and Michael Kelly.
More than £5,000 has been raised for the youngster's funeral by more than 1,000 people who have pledged support for her grief-stricken family.
Businesses have been selling wrist ribbons for baby Isla to help raise money in memory of the little one.
Leela Hope, 28, from Torquay, has been distributing the bands to outlets throughout Torbay.
They can be bought at Carters, Hele, the Country House pub, Ellacombe, Applebys, House of Beauty, Wellswood and the Kents Pub.
Ms Hope, who works for an entertainment agency, said she knows of the family and wanted to help in some way.
She said: "I lost my brother five years ago and know how awful it was for all of us and mum especially.
"This is a way for people to remember Isla and carry her with them always.
"I have had requests for ribbons from up and down the country.
"It has touched people who did not even know Isla but who want to remember her."
Close family friends Holly Connors and Ben Taylor organised the fundraising page for Isla X at gofundme.com.
Ben said: "We have been amazed by the response and in such a short space of time. It is really heartening so many people want to give Isla the funeral she deserves."
The family want to thank Louise Hardman, JD Bar, The Country House pub and Hunger Over Breakfast deliver for their fundraising help.
The inquest into Isla's death was opened in Bristol by coroner Maria Voisin on Monday, February 26.
Deborah Neil, coroner's officer, told the hearing Isla, of Stone Court, Torquay, died at the children's hospital on February 18, 2013.
The youngster was admitted after being transferred from Torbay Hospital following a cardiac arrest.
She had been found by her parents between the cushion and the arm of the sofa. The cause of death has yet to be confirmed. The inquest was adjourned and is being transferred to Torbay and South Devon Coroner Ian Arrow.

VOLUNTEERS examining the behaviour of rare woodcocks in the New Forest have been awarded more than £12,000 to undertake cutting-edge research.
The New Forest Woodcock Group will use night vision equipment and radio tag transmitters to observe never-before-seen night-time mating behaviour and potentially track the movements of females with young.
The volunteers aim to increase understanding of the woodcock and explore the reasons behind its national decline.
The RSPB has given the woodcock amber status in its traffic light system of conservation importance, meaning the number of birds has moderately declined over the last 25 years. By understanding more about how woodcocks use the New Forest ,the group hopes to discover if human pressures are affecting the species' population.
The study's grant was allocated by the New Forest National Park Authority's Sustainable Development Fund (SDF), which provides grants for projects that will help sustain the park.
Dr Manuel Hinge, the woodcock group's research coordinator, said: "This woodcock breeding study will be helped enormously by the SDF grant.
"The woodcock is a very secretive bird whose brilliant camouflage makes it extremely difficult for us to watch and follow through dense woodland, especially at night."
SDF grants are open to community groups, organisations and businesses. In the last eight years it has funded 118 projects, with £1.4m in grants, and secured £2.8m from other sources.
For more information go to new www.forestnpa.gov.uk/sdfdetails.

I am willing to buy a single ticket and watch the game by myself but figured I would check here to see if any Panthers fans had an extra ticket. Even if you dont have an extra ticket, let me know where you are sitting and maybe I can at least get into the same section. I am a dedicated and vocal fan that is just looking for a good time.

Testsuites for reviews: any way they can be released
Reading the Transformer Prime review I saw you test batterylife by going through 100 websites and downloading high-resolution pics. As it takes between 5-10 hours to finish the test I'd guess you don't do that test manually. So, is there any way the tests you use for this could be released / opened up for the general public? I would really like to test whether or not my ipad1 still is somewhat capable of running for 8-10 hours as I feel it's closer to 5 now.

OMAHA (kptm) - The Omaha Police Department is asking for your help finding the crooks that stole from a mother while she was inside her children's daycare.
In this week's Caught On Camera, Fox 42 News is working with Crime Stoppers to catch a thief.
It was the middle of the afternoon; she had stopped her car right outside the daycare to pick up her kids. She was inside just a matter of minutes, but that's all it took for the crook to break into her car, steal her purse and before she knew it, they'd already racked up over $800 on her bank card.
"You can see right here where they stuck the pliers in…actually missed the first time." Andrea Fernandez said she's frustrated.
She had her back turned for just a few minutes while she was picking up her kids from daycare and someone broke into her minivan stealing her purse. "It's very frustrating. I mean you think you're safe at a daycare just five minutes, ten minutes, you don't think anybody's going to stop and do something to your car," Fernandez said.
The bartender working at the Liquid Lounge next door saw the crook bash her window in. He even tried chasing the man down before the get-a-way driver took off. "He saw the guy hit the window and jump into the vehicle at least so he described him as 6 feet tall, darker hair, short hair, possibly a mustache."
She said less than 45 minutes later; the crooks racked up over $800 at three different Walgreens.
Police said this man is one of three they are looking for. "These criminals they're opportunists. It doesn't take much time for them to find a vehicle, take a quick glance inside. If they see something of value that they could pawn, pawn off to get some money pretty quick, they'll break a window and take it," Officer Michael Pecha said.
"I mean five minutes, that's all it took…I mean I'm never leaving anything in my van again that's of any value," Fernandez said.
"You never know when crime is going to strike. Obviously in this case and in other cases we've seen where people have at least taken a step to lock their vehicle, you would think that would be enough…again some of these criminals are very aggressive and they'll stop at nothing to get the property that they want," Officer Pecha said.
Fernandez said she thought this sort of thing would never happen to her and she warns other parents to be more cautious when they're dropping off and picking up their kids from daycare.
Officer Michael Pecha also encourages parents not to leave their cars running when they go inside. He said you never know who could be watching.
Police ask anyone with information regarding this motor vehicle theft to come forward.
If you know who he is or have a tip for the investigators, contact Crime Stoppers at 444-STOP. You will remain anonymous and you could be eligible for a cash reward.

Signs Your in a Bad Zombie Movie
I think any zombie lover worth his or her salt has thought about what it would be like to be in a zombie movie and fight off the hordes of the undead. It doesn't matter if we put ourselves in a Romero classic or that bad B-movie that was on sale at Blockbuster, but there are a few signs that the movie you have chosen to be a part of is of a less than zombierific quality.
An overwhelming amount of fart jokes. While this fact may seem self evident and avoided by creators of quality film, there are movies like "Zombies Gone Wild" that seem to revel in it. There are about 10 minutes of this film dedicated to three guys sitting in a van farting, gagging from farting and discussion of said farting. While I do enjoy the occasional fart joke in moderation, being bombarded with multiple anal raspberries is enough to me want to be eaten by a zombie.
The creepy old dude. If your movie has some old caretaker/ grandfather/ weird guy that lives in a shack, then its time to head off to better fare. This person will either be involved with whatever started the zombie apocalypse or will have some sage-like advice to give the main character. "Do or do not, there is no try. Shoot for the head." I like to call this he Gandalf principle. For some reason, the answers to the great questions can only come from some old guy. It's not possible for the person who knows all the answers to be a 28-year-old hottie.
What do you mean we have to go through the creepy cemetery to get to your house? If you need to travel through a cemetery, factory, "old many Jensen's farm" or any other way that doesn't involve a paved road, it's time to switch your movie. This is just a bad plot device that doesn't have any place in a good zombie movie. If you live in a house, there is a frickin road that goes to it. If there isn't, frickin move. Also, never go to a cemetery to have sex, it's gross, wrong and will get you eaten.
The main evil doer is actually smoking an oversized cigar. Smoking is generally a bad guy thing to do any way, but if the movie needs to extend this further by having the bad guys smoke cigars the sized of their legs, you need to move on. A good evil corporate or military villain should not look like Boss Hogg from the "The Dukes of Hazard." The only person that should ever smoke something that big is a Rastafarian from Jamaica or Jenna Jameson, you know what I am talking about. Wink Wink Nudge Nudge.
The zombies all look like down and out college students lookin' for a quick buck. When you need a large number of bodies for cheap, the ideal place to go is a college dorm. They are so drunk half the time, the shamble about anyway. If "Girls Gone Wild" can get college co-eds to flash for a T-shirt, then you can get a few of them to do God knows what for $20 and a free lunch. You can probably even get a little girl-eat-girl action. For college guys, just tell offer them free beer and a designated driver and you will have friends for life.

Feb 16, 2013
In this exclusive Infowars Nightly News report, Alex Jones, while at Big Bend national park on the Texas-Mexico border proves how porous the border really is by personally video-taping illegal immigrants crossing the Rio Grande river. This footage was shot just days before Barack Obama during his 2013 presidential State of the Union address said, "We can build on the progress my Administration has already made — putting more boots on the southern border than at any time in our history, and reducing illegal crossings to their lowest levels in 40 years."

Remember Me
GAASTRA—The city of Gaastra's soccer field restroom project may be temporarily on hold after bids came in over budget. GEI Consultant's Rob Anderson reported on the project at the Oct. 11 meeting of the Gaastra City Commission. Two bids were received, with the low bid coming in almost $16,000 over the amount allotted for the restroom project.
Anderson told commissioners that his next step was to work with the DNR, with hopes of cutting costs on the project, possibly changing out the fixtures, which had doubled or tripled in price recently. He also planned to look into the possibility of a wood frame building rather than brick, which was stipulated in the original bidding. The alternate models may get the price under budget, but if not, Anderson and Mayor Richard Holm agreed the project could be re-bid in the spring, when prices may be more favorable. Some discussion was held regarding the cost of the Swede Anderson Memorial sign, which, according to Anderson, is not eligible for DNR grant funds. Coming in at $3,300, the commission decided to make its own sign, with the expense to be used towards the city's grant match. Also part of the match was the donation of class 2 gravel from Iron County Commissioner Wayne Wales. If project costs remain over budget, there is the possibility of additional grant funds, which would increase the city's match, although attorney Steve Polich told the commission not to worry too much about that, as it could be made up with volunteer work and donated materials. The city has two years to complete the project. The commission approved payment of $5,444 to GEI for the project design plans and bidding process, which, Polich explained, included re-surveying the parcel and re-submitting the plans to the state numerous times. A second project the city is involved with, the Iron County Heritage Trail Bike Path, is moving along slower than anticipated, according to Wales. Wales told the City Commission the project is turning out to be a long, drawn out process, due to the step by step procedures required by MDOT in preparing the engineer bid packages. Iron County Road Commission Superintendent Doug Tomasoski is handling the administrative end of the project and continues to work on hiring an engineer, after an unknown delay postponed a recent request for proposals. With a Heritage Trail meeting scheduled for this month, Wales said there is basically nothing the committee can do until the bids come in. \ "We did this based on next year's construction costs," he said. "Hopefully it will still go that way." Wales also informed the City Commission of the possible discontinuation of the Michigan Works Summer Youth Program. Although the program is not yet officially terminated, Wales told the commission not to count on it in the future, as there appears to be no funding for the program which had employed area youth for 10 weeks each summer. The commission accepted offers on two city-owned, 40-acre parcels on Wagner Lake Road. After negotiations, an offer of $28,000 was accepted on the south east parcel, which includes some swamp land, and $33,000 was accepted on the south west parcel. Wales let the City Commission know that he would be running for his seat on the County Board as a write-in candidate on the upcoming ballot. Attorney Mark Tousignant, candidate for Iron County Probate Judge, was also in attendance at the meeting to answer any questions. The next meeting of the Gaastra City Commission will be Thursday, Nov. 8, at 4:40 p.m.

With all the ongoing discussion regarding a possible swith by Mizzou from the Big XII to the Big 10 (11?) I thought it might be interesting to see how this would affect Mizzou fans' travelling times to away games.
First glance shows it gives fans in St. Louis much better opportunity, Columbia fans would drive a little farther than now, and Kansas City fans would have much farther to drive.
Just for the sake of consideration, I have put Mizzou in a six-team division with Iowa (192 miles from Columbia), Illinois (230), Purdue (305), Indiana (311) and Northwestern (323). Currently, Columbia fans are driving about an hour less for intra-divisional games (with the exception of Colorado, which is a 694-mile trip). Kansas (158), Iowa State (224), Kansas State (230) and Nebraska (265) are all closer than the corresponding Big 10 teams.
Figuring 120 miles from Columbia to Kansas City, and 110 miles to St. Louis, the fans on the east side of the state will actually lose an hour of travel for these games, while the fans on the west side of the state would have to travel about three hours longer.
The advantage changes when considering inter-divisional games, however, with the exception of Penn State (776 miles). Of course, if the super expansion were to take place, Syracuse and Rutgers would be totally out of the picture. Currently, away games against South Division opponents require travelling to Oklahoma State (325), Oklahoma (380), Baylor (579), A&M (621), Texas Tech (649) and Texas (667). The remaining six Big 10 teams, with the noted exception of Penn State, could save Columbia fans up to two hours per trip while driving to Wisconsin (323), Minnesota (420), Michigan State (486), Ohio State (502) and Michigan (505).
This would make for some very fun trips - especially for St. Louis fans - to play some quality schools.
While weather might at first glance seem to favor staying in the Big XII, my experience in travelling these states is that the midwestern states do a much better job of keeping their roads cleared during the snow season than the Great Plains states of the Big XII - which also have much greater threat of tornadoes and dangerous road conditions caused by intense rain and flooding.
Ticket availability for visiting schools should be greater simply because the Big 10 schools have much larger facilities. There are only four Big XII schools with a seating capacity greater than 61,000 for football, and only three with a capacity greater than 15,000 in basketball - excluding Mizzou. Eight of the eleven Big 10 schools surpass 61,000 in football capacity, and seven surpass 15,000 for basketball.
As for rivalries, everyone has their preference. I can't see Kansas passing up the bucks to play Mizzou every year in the major sports. Personally, I would much rather have a chance to play Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State or Penn State each year as a trade-off for Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas.
Would such a change affect fan participation? I don't think so. Mizzou has a dedicated following in all parts of the state, but I believe there is more fan intensity in the St. Louis and southeastern part of the state than in Kansas City and the southwestern. Residents in the northern part of the state gain a travelling advantage in addition to the St. Louis area.
Since any change would take at least a couple of years, if not more, we may well see the Big 10 picking up national contending teams in both football and basketball, in addition to the many other sports Tiger athletes are now excelling in. This is just a win-win situation for the institution and the new conference monetarily, and further identifies Missouri with the Midwest rather than the Plains States.

I don't fry foods very often. But when local green tomatoes are available, who can resist? They're something I've never used a recipe to make. I just make them the way my Mom did: Slice the tomatoes, season them with salt and pepper, dredge them in cornmeal, and fry them up. When they weren't crispy and crunchy, I just chalked it up to operator error. Perhaps my oil wasn't hot enough or the tomatoes were sliced too thick.
But that was before I was editing recipes for our new Paula Deen's Southern Classics. (It's on newsstands now or available online.) Paula included a tip in her Fried Green Tomato recipe that explains why she salts the green tomatoes and lets them stand for 30 minutes before coating and frying—something neither my mother nor I had ever done. Paula said the salt pulls the water out of the tomatoes so you don't end up with soggy breading.
So last night, I used a recipe for Fried Green Tomatoes for the first time ever. I was amazed at how much moisture the salt drew out of the tomatoes. It took a double thickness of paper towels to get them good and dry. And after frying and draining on a wire rack, they were perfectly crispy and crunchy.
If you get Paula Deen's Southern Classics, you'll notice we put the recipe for Fried Green Tomatoes in our Appetizer chapter because in the last ten years or so, they show up on restaurant menus more often as starters then anything else. And I must say, serving them as an appetizer with a sweet-hot salsa, remoulade, or horseradish dip is a mighty fine way to kick-start your taste buds. But they can't be beat when served as a side dish with a mound of coleslaw, fresh purple hull peas, and a wedge of cornbread. What's your favorite way to enjoy this Southern classic?
Until Next Time,
Elizabeth Taliaferro

left final drive
Hey guys iam putting oil seal the one that keeps the oli from reaching brakes ? the bearing retainer wher the oil seal goes i no there are some shims behind the retainer but is there any type seal or gasket etc that i need to replace Also the shaft that goes through the brake drum it has a little groove on it where the oil seal rides the groove is not very deep just wondering should i drive the seal in a little futher? Thanks for all the help
Re: left final drive
It has an o ring on it. If it has a grove it will most likely leak IF THE SEAL rides in that grove
All others pay cash

Re: left final drive
This is something I've done before...Try to position the seal in the housing so the seal lip is not in the groove.If that can be done you'll be ok.
I don't know what O'ring Boss is talking about though...maybe I'm thinking of the wrong seal....
I'm really good at doing nothing…With that said…I'm really, really good at doing nothing
Re: left final drive
Jack, talking about the retainer that the seal goes in, there is an o ring on it where it slides into the case to keep it from leaking
All others pay cash

Re: left final drive
The bearing retainer does not need to be removed to change the oil seal, just pry it out using a puller or a large screw driver....
Compare you new seal to the old one to see just where it will ride, chances are it's much thinner and will be in a different location.

Re: left final drive
It sounds to me like the differential bearing carrier seal? There is also a seal on the final drive (behind the brake). The old ones were leather.
It may be wise to check the level in the transmission, but if you are going to do that may as well drain it and change it. (HyTran recommended). They are know to fill up with water and the easiest place to drain is out the differential seals and then onto the brakes and eventually out the drain holes under the brakes.
