Campaign themes
Mensch's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[2]
Jobs and the Economy
- Excerpt: "He believes that if we are going to successfully jumpstart our economy, we must begin with the fundamental recognition that our businesses are competing globally."
- Excerpt: "Senator Mensch believes that all Pennsylvania students — regardless of income or where they live – deserve a high-quality basic education. In the wake of sizable cuts in federal funding received by the state for basic education, Mensch has consistently supported increases in the state budget for K-12 funding."
Protecting our Children
- Excerpt: "As Chairman of the Senate Committee for Aging and Youth, Bob Mensch played an integral role in crafting and helping to pass a package of legislation that strengthens child protection laws in Pennsylvania. This legislative agenda addresses a range of issues with the goal of preventing child abuse and punishing those who prey on our children."
Downsizing Government
- Excerpt: "Bob Mensch believes that the legislature and Governor need to be doing the same thing with the state budget by finding cost savings – not raising personal taxes."
- Excerpt: "Bob has also worked to expand income eligibility requirements for PACE and PACENET, programs that help seniors receive low-cost medications."
Mensch's campaign website highlighted the following areas:[3]
Businesses and Jobs
- Excerpt: Mensch "supports legislation to do away with semi-monthly sales tax return requirement in order to eliminate costs for our small businesses to build additional revenue" and "wants to allow small businesses to pay school property taxes on in installments, just as other property owners may do now."
Tax Reform
- Excerpt: Mensch "wants to work with the State Senate to bring comprehensive reform to our Property Tax structure in the state" and "supports legislation which will eliminate the 'Death Tax.'"
Government Reform and Transparency
- Excerpt: Mensch "supports a reduction in the number of legislators on the PHEAA board of directors and adding private-sector individuals who are experienced with higher education finance" and "believes the General Assembly should adopt recommendations made by the state Auditor General to prohibit risky financial practices by many school and local governments which have cost taxpayers millions and millions of dollars."
Environment and Open Space
- Excerpt: "Mensch is working to see that one tract of 151 acres of open space is added to the 2,000+ acre inventory in Marlborough. Additionally he appealed to, and won the cooperation of the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission to partner with Natural Lands Trust so another 46 acres of open space along the Unami Creek could be conserved."
- Excerpt: Mensch "believes the General Assembly should remove local zoning and building impediments many farmers face when they need to supplement farming operations through farm stands or other agribusiness opportunities" and "supports changing Pennsylvania's Vehicle Code to allow for the easier movement of tractors and other agricultural vehicles on roads."

Legislative scorecards are used to evaluate elected public officials based on voting record. Some scorecards are created by political advocacy groups with a focus on specific issues, while others are developed by newspapers and are broad in scope. Scorecards are meant to be used as a tool for voters to have a quick picture of whether their views align with a particular legislator's record.
Because scorecards can be specific to particular issues or general to a state's legislative term, for example, each report should be considered on its own merits. Each entity that publishes these reports uses different methodologies and definitions for the terms used.
An overview for scorecards in all 50 states can be found on this page. To contribute to the list of Pennsylvania scorecards, email suggestions to email@example.com.

My husband and I are celebrating our 10th anniversary this fall and are trying to decide where to go. We live on the east coast and would like somewhere that is relatively easy to get to. We went to Caneel Bay on St. John for our honeymoon and loved it, but would like somewhere with a little more to do at night. We are considering St. Barts (Hotel Christopher - though I can't tell if it has a beach), Anguilla (Viceroy), St. Martin - cannot figure out where we would stay here. We have considered some places in Jamaica and St. Lucia. Any ideas on places we haven't found yet?? Any thoughts on above spots that are a must see?? Looking to go first week in November or possibly in October. Help please!
Which Island do we choose?

IMHO, anywhere on St Bart's trumps most places on the other islands you list. The food alone will be worth it.
Report Abuse
If you need more nightlife than St. John, then St. Martin is the only one for you. Your other choices nightlife consists of long dinners mostly.

eastenderusvi, thanks for your reply. any hotels you like better than others?? tom beach, hotel christopher?

EHall: Any place you can afford would be great. It is a very pricy spot, but the ambiance is superb. I love Eden Rock, but I don't think I can afford it.LOL.

How about Sandals Resort in Jamaica? There are 7 Sandals Properties in Jamaica but i would recommend Sandals Whitehouse which is one hour drive from Montego Bay. Another great choice is Sandals Grande Ocho Rios because it is walking distance from Ocho Rios town that is famous for many attractions such as Dunns River Falls, Mystic Mountains, and Dolphin Cove.
Report Abuse
How about Jumby Bay? Cotton House (Mustique), Spice Island (Grenada), or Jade Mountain (St. Lucia). Viceroy Anguilla is also beautiful. St Barth's is great but very expensive, and depending on the resort the beach access may not be ideal.

anse marcel, st martin, tranquil beach ... rent a car ... great food in grand case and can explore the rest of the island. or martinique

St. Maarten for nightlife, great food options and duty- free shopping if by chance you feel to do a bit.

St. Barts is a gorgeous place. How can you miss shopping on your 10 anniversary? St. Barts is a great place for shopping. Here is a article about the shopping opportunities in St. Barts:

You haven't indicated what your interests are but I recommend Saint Lucia for you as it is one of the Caribbean's foremost destinations for weddings and honeymoons. Its scenery is stunning and few island can match it. English is the main language and there is a lot of variety there. Stay in the north. Someone recommended Jade Mountain which is excellent if you want a fair bit of seclusion whereas in the north there's lots to do and excellent restaurants. If you want an all inclusive in the north,chose either Sandals Grande or Le Sport which recently won an award for its superb spa. Enjoy

Eddie Lanier joins Choc'Let to lay down REAL FUNK!!
in Music
Eddie Lanier was born in New Jersey, home to funk giants Parliament-Funkadelic and Kool N The Gang, but it was Sly & The Family Stone that turned me out and made me a funkateer for life. Bought my first guitar after hearing Sex Machine. Played guitar with a high school rock band that did a few SATFS songs. Later played in the back-up band for some singers in an organization run by Martha Taylor (wife of Richard Taylor singer with The Manhattans). Many of those musicians went on to work with Kool N The Gang.
Maintained my love for SATFS and all related music throughout all these years. Throughout those years, I met and became friends with many of the original Family Stoners. For the last ten years or so, I frequently hook up with them mostly at the east coast shows.
These days, I run the Sly & The Family Stone FB page which now has over 5000 members as well as the current Family Stone FB page.
I am associate producer for the upcoming Sly & The Family Stone Convention in Oakland.
Keeping the legacy of Sly & The Family Stone legacy alive...forever!

Midfielder Simon Walton believes that Hartlepool will "hit the ground running" when the new campaign kicks off this weekend.
Football Betting
Bet £5 Get £20 Free
The summer signing from Plymouth has already impressed Pools fans with his dominant pre-season displays in the heart of midfield - as the team have gone unbeaten against a trio of higher division opponents.
And while Walton admits that results are not everything at this stage, he says that the belief can only grow after putting in strong performances against Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Hull.
"You want to get into the right habits during pre-season and at the moment we've got ourselves into a 'not getting beat' habit, against teams who are probably going to do well in their respective leagues," Walton told the club's official website.
"We've acquitted ourselves well, but we're not going to get carried away with that, though we can take a hell of a lot of confidence from it.
"Now we just want to get the nitty-gritty of the league started. I believe we can hit the ground running."

The expectation was that ratings for Monday Night Raw would rise this week because fans would tune in to see if CM Punk would make his return or not. However, the opposite took place. WWE saw a 12 percent drop in viewership, which has to be a bit alarming since it is the time period between the Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania 30.
When Batista made his return on Monday Night Raw, WWE officials were said to be rather upset with the lackluster reaction from the audience. However, management then saw the television ratings for the segment and placed the blame on the Dayton crowd instead.
Former WWE star Vladimir Kozlov posted a picture of himself with his girlfriend on Twitter.
After scouting the MMA fighter for quite some time, WWE was finally able to sign Vladimir Kozlov to a developmental contract. Since he has limited experience with professional wrestling, the company plans on sending him down to Deep South Wrestling for some training.

Competition in dealer-client electronic euro swaps trading is heating up with the launch of two new 'request-for-quote' (RFQ) multi-dealer interest rates swaps platforms in quick succession.Thomson TradeWeb rolled out its product with six signed-up liquidity providers – ABN Amro, Barclays Capital, Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, HSBC, JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley – and two confirmed buy-side institutions – Bred Banque Populaire and Dekabank on Wednesday. The following day, Bloomberg launched SwapTrader, with five initial dealers participating and a further five set to join the platform, according to Bloomberg. Bank of America and Royal Bank of Scotland, as well as ABN, Barclays and Morgan Stanley, have gone live on SwapTrader.
Both will allow users to request up to three quotes at the same time and will feature straight-through processing. They will compete fiercely for new business in the coming few months, with both claiming to be in the final stages of completing deals with other liquidity providers.
What is unclear is the impact this will have on existing single-dealer platforms, of which Barclays' Barx, launched in conjunction with Bloomberg in July 2003, is the most prominent.
Eric Bommensath, London-based head of government bond trading at Barclays Capital, claimed that Barx would not be affected, despite Barclays signing up to both TradeWeb and SwapTrader. He said Barx was available without cost to anyone with a Bloomberg terminal.

Manchester man protests felony drug charges
A city man protested three felony drug sale charges Monday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division.
"I'm not a drug dealer," said Jeffrey Rousseau, 22, of 32 Russell St. Rousseau could enter no plea to the charges that allege he sold the narcotic drug oxycodone to confidential informants working with police.
Rousseau told Judge William Lyons that he sold drugs to support his habit, but that he has stopped using drugs.
"I go to the methadone clinic," said Rousseau, adding, "I go to counseling."
Police prosecutor Carissa Pelletier requested $25,000 cash/surety bail, with a hearing on the source of any funds offered for bail.
"What? Are you serious," Rousseau said. He said he has no money and said no drugs were found in his apartment when it was searched at the time of his arrest.
Lyons set bail at the amount requested by the prosecutor and with the conditions requested.
A probable cause hearing on the three felony drug charges was set for Dec.4.
Says 110 oxycodone pills found in car weren't his
Speaking through an interpreter Monday, Simon Fernandez-Sosa, 23, of Queens, N.Y., told Circuit Court-Manchester District Division Judge William Lyons that the 110 oxycodone pills found in his vehicle weren't his.
According to police, Fernandez-Sosa also had $2,255 in cash on him during a traffic stop and was charged with felony possession of a narcotic with intent to sell.
Fernandez-Sosa said he had just arrived from the Dominican Republic and the money wasn't all his. He said the drugs were already in the car and he didn't know they were there until police found them.
Police prosecutor Carissa Pelletier requested $50,000 cash/surety bail, with a hearing on the source of any funds offered for bail, saying Fernandez-Sosa has no ties to Manchester.
Lyons set bail at $30,000 cash/surety with a hearing on the source of bail funds.
Bail set for man accused of assaulting stepfather
Bail was set at $1,000 cash/surety Monday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division for a city man accused of assaulting his stepfather.
Matthew Bell, 30, of 296 Tarrytown Road, is accused of pushing the man to get past him after his stepfather tried to block his entrance, of chest and belly bumping his stepfather and of shoving him in the chest.
Bell pleaded innocent to all charges, telling Judge William Lyons: "He had shoved me with his shoulder first."
Bail conditions bar contact with his stepfather and bar him from any use of alcohol or illegal drugs. Trial was set for Feb. 5, 2013.
Nine noise complaints prompted call
Police said the desk personnel at the Holiday Inn Express, 1298 S. Porter St., called them after receiving nine noise complaints involving Kyle Green and Green still would not quiet down or leave. Green, 28, of 2 Windward Terrace, Salem, pleaded innocent Monday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to three misdemeanors of simple assault on a police officer, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
Police said that when officers told Green to leave the establishment, he refused, hit one officer in the side, shoved an officer causing the officer to lose his balance, punched an officer and struggled with officers trying to handcuff him.
Police prosecutor Carissa Pelletier requested $5,000 cash/surety bail, saying Green has past convictions for assault (2), resisting arrest and criminal mischief. But Green asked Judge William Lyons for a reduced bail, saying: "I haven't gotten in trouble in 10 years." Lyons set bail at $3,000 cash/surety, with conditions that include not going to the Holiday Inn Express.

Editorial: Seattle police's blue wall — hiding videos from open-records law
A Supreme Court ruling on Seattle police in-car-video records lays bare the vast challenges for presumptive Seattle Police Chief Kathleen O'Toole.
Seattle Times Editorial
IF Kathleen O'Toole is confirmed Monday to be the next Seattle police chief — and she should be — she'll have to add another document to her big stack of reading.
The state Supreme Court last week highlighted yet another technological and cultural challenge the Seattle Police Department faces as it grinds its way into becoming a 21st-century force.
In a 5-4 ruling, the court ruled that Seattle police had wrongly denied requests made under the state's Public Records Act by KOMO 4 reporter Tracy Vedder for in-car-video recordings and log notes. The city cited both state privacy laws and technological hurdles in defending the denials.
But, in an era of technology-powered transparency, Seattle police too often hides behind a blue wall of opaqueness.
O'Toole's challenge to fix this is twofold. The technological challenges of Seattle police are real, vast and have been known for years. The Supreme Court ruling lays bare one example, describing an in-car video-recording system held in a silo from other databases, including the department's police reports including those about use of force.
That has been spotlighted repeatedly by the Seattle City Council and, as recently as Tuesday, by Merrick Bobb, the federal watchdog on Seattle police's reforms. Bobb describes Seattle police as "20 years behind."
"Compared to many other law enforcement agencies, the SPD is flying blind," Bobb wrote in a report to the federal court this week.
In a community of dizzying technological innovation, that assessment should be an embarrassing failure, remedied with the greatest speed.
The court ruling also spotlighted a cultural problem with transparency within Seattle police. In the case, the department's attorneys argued Seattle police should not release any in-car videos for three years after they were shot because the videos potentially could be requested during litigation, and therefore should be withheld until the statute of limitations expires.
The court fortunately saw through that as an obfuscation of the Public Records Act. Litigation may prevent disclosure of some videos, but the exceptions must not be the rule. Videos shot on the taxpayer's dime are public record. Officers' conduct is of keen interest to the public. Transparency, not opaqueness, should be a bright-line rule under O'Toole's leadership.
The court ruling raises interesting questions about privacy in this digital age. Seattle police officers' in-car videos inevitably will record private personal information — such as Social Security numbers given to an officer, or the bloodied face of a domestic-violence victim.
The department must figure out how to screen out the private. That's a challenge, and one made more difficult by Seattle police's technology deficit.
O'Toole, the presumptive new chief, must prioritize infrastructure and cultural reforms worthy of a city that is a 21st-century wizard's gallery of digital innovation.

my mother is in the hospital and will most likely not live much longer. she does not have a will at this time. her father died last month and the will that he left has not been dispersed to his children yet. she wants to make sure that my father, her husband and her children, myself and my brother receive what she is to get from this will if she doesnt make it that long. what exactly does she need to have filled out to make sure that her inheritance makes it where she wants it to go? is it just a regular will? where do we get this at?
Your mother should establish an entire estate plan which may include a will, financial power of attorney, medical power of attorney, advance directive, and disposition instructions. It may also be beneficial to provide a trust based estate plan to avoid probate.
I would strongly recommend that she retain an estate attorney. This is especially important if there are capacity issues or she is close to passing. If getting an attorney is not possible or feasible, at least get a credible book such as those available through Nolo publishing.

You have already made the best decision, the decision to send your child to a Jewish preschool. But there are so many to choose from in Los Angeles that a family can get meshugeh trying to choose the right one. Here are some helpful hints:
• Do your homework. Check out the philosophy of not only the preschool but of the synagogue, too. Does the community follow your family's hashkafah or ideals? Do they offer a program that meets your needs in terms of hours, pricing, distance you are willing to drive, and do you like the environment?

Dogs are usually house-trained by the time they are a few months old, and once they know the rules, they'll do everything they can to reach their favorite spots in time. But even dogs with perfect track records will occasionally go where they shouldn't. These aren't really "accidents" because grown dogs know that they're supposed to go outside. Dogs who go in the house are invariably trying to tell you something.
"I couldn't wait." Even dogs with fastidious manners and good training have certain limits. Unless you have a doggy door, they can't let themselves out when nature calls. When you're gone all day or working late, it's simply not realistic to expect them to wait, says Mike Richards, D.V.M., a veterinarian in private practice in Cobbs Creek, Virginia.
For most dogs, Richards says, 12 hours is about the limit. When you're going to be gone longer than that, the only solution is to make other arrangements -- having a neighbor let your dog out, for example, or hiring a pet sitter to drop by once a day.
"I'm in charge, and here's the proof." Among dogs, urinating represents more than a comfort stop. It's also their way of marking territory and establishing their status in the family. That's why people who get a second pet are often subjected to an outbreak of housesoiling as one of the dogs -- usually the older resident -- begins urinating in strategic spots.
It may take a few weeks or longer for both dogs to feel comfortable with the new arrangement, says Sandy Myers, a trainer and director of Narnia Pet Training in Naperville, Illinois. You can speed things up by reinforcing the natural pecking order. Give special preference to the "top dog" -- which is usually, but not always, the one who's been there the longest. Try feeding this dog first, she advises. Let her go out the door first, and give her the most attention. Once your dog feels that her status in the family is secure, she'll be much less inclined to defend it on her own, Myers explains.
"I worship the ground you walk on." When a dog rolls on her back the minute you come home and then urinates on the floor, she's not forgetting her housetraining and she's not being rude. In fact, she's doing the opposite. "Such a dog is being very polite," explains Kovary. "She's saying, 'I know that you are my leader and I will do anything you ask.'" Called submissive urination, this is very common among dogs, Kovary explains. But it's not a good sign in the family because it means a dog is overly anxious or intimidated. About all you can do is try to make sure that your dog is more secure. There are a lot of ways to do this. For example, don't stand over her and look down when you first get home -- kneel down and greet her from a more "equal" level, Thomas suggests. It's also a good idea to avoid direct eye contact for a while because some dogs find it intimidating.
Extreme submissive behavior isn't easy to fix because it can be an intrinsic part of a dog's personality. If simple changes don't help, you may want to call your vet or a trainer for help.

Winter has arrived early
Cub Scout traditions
Michael's first Raingutter Regatta was this afternoon. Admittedly, I was a bit frustrated with the "forced upon us last minute" nature of this event. We received our kit on Thursday and the event was Sunday.
Michael knew almost immediately that he wanted a video game theme and more specifically from the Clash of Clans. So…mom to the rescue while Daddy was at work. Michael helped me choose the images he wanted, I resized them and had them printed in color (since we don't have a color printer). At least, this part we could do until Daddy could help after work on Friday night. I traced the images onto the sail and then Michael used permanent markers to color it. It turned out great, right?!
I'm not one for last minute projects or having to work under a deadline. Although, not perfect, it seems our attempt at sealing the boat actually worked. Who needs 72 hours to cure? HA. Look at all these great boats ready for an afternoon race.
What a surprise to have Aunt Loly & Uncle Nick arrive for the festivities. Thank you for honoring us and Michael also!
The festivities began with the flag procession, pledge of allegiance, and cub scout promise.
Race #1 and Michael learns a lot about blowing into his sail and competing against someone older.
A sportsmanlike handshake and the promise of another opportunity to race in a double elimination bracket.
While waiting for the next round, the boys played a huge game of soccer.
Max enjoyed his first soccer game and boat race also.
Lucas was a more equally matched opponent. Both boys had a great race. Michael's sail got off kilter and ended up dead in the water unable to steer out of the gutter and back on course.
I'm so proud of our little Cub Scout and his presence at this first competition. He was a great competitor who showed incredible joy and sportsmanship. Well played buddy. We look forward to your Pinewood Derby next. We promise to make sure you have more time to prepare…at least for mommy's sanity. (Daddy does great under pressure.)
Happy Halloween!
Costumes, family, friends, cold weather, trick or treating and of course traditions galore.
A little crafting before preschool pick-up.
Daddy's office had the option of coming to work in costume. You don't have to ask Nate twice and this year was our year to dress in a family theme. Disney it was.
Thanks to Michael & Julius, our frankenstein's turned out pretty well.
Grana Lissa made us cupcakes from Jen's "BOO" porch treat.
Friends stopped by to say hello and take a peek at the kids in costume. Thanks for the old decorations (blow up decor) and the new little light up man. We love you guys.
So glad that Aunt Jen & Julius were able to join us for the festivities. Tradition continues.
Mom & dad were here too!
Grandma Sandy & Grandpa Kent AND great-grandma Edna came from Kansas to celebrate with us also. (Unfortunately, no pics of Kent & Sandy together tonight. More to come tomorrow.)
Time to trick-or-treat before the freezing rain spoiled the fun.
Happy Halloween to all!!!
It's almost Halloween!
The mom's group at our church put on a fantastic little afternoon Halloween party.
In fact, some of our comrades from the 7:30 a.m. Mass actually planned and hosted the event. Here's Clare's friend. Ironically they didn't know each other in costume. I had to explain to them who the other was and how they knew each other. Hilarious.
Clare especially loved the photo booth. She's such a show-off and always ready for a good time.
Katie was so excited to be a teen helper this year. In fact, she was very careful to change her costume plans to fit the occasion. She plans to be Maleficent from Disney this year, but was afraid it might scare some of the little kids. She opted for her sweet little poodle skirt instead. I love this girl. She has such a heart of gold.
Ellie actually had a serious meltdown toward the end and I was nursing Max, thankfully Mr. Rich came to the rescue. He not only rescued Elizabeth from her fit of crying sprawled out on the floor, but he also escorted her through the trick-or-treat line trying to teach her the "drill". So sweet and a huge help for this mom of five still learning to fly "solo" while out and about during the week.
For better or worse, I can always count on Clare to find something fun to do and create her own adventures apart from everything else. I'm feeding Max and look over to see Clare has found a game and is happily playing. I love her zeal for life and independence!
Michael is a heroic knight but for some reason I don't have his pictures uploaded. You'll have to see his costume in the Halloween post instead.
Happy birthday to you!
So how does a mom spend her 61st birthday?
At Chuck 'E Cheese of course with the grandkids.
and of course her kids also. (Well, three of the four at least.)
All birthdays should include some celebrating, right and who doesn't love to dance with ChuckE?
Well, Clare actually. She saw the life-size ChuckE walking through the games and to say she came unglued would be an understatement. In fact, no one was with her when she saw him the first time. Papa found her hiding under a table crying. The second time, he came out, she scaled me with such fury and hysteria that I wasn't sure she'd survive the moment. We got the nice lady to take us over to the closet to see where the costume hung, but sadly, that wasn't even enough. She woke up this morning asking if ChuckE was going to eat her and reliving the moment with a great deal of calm but excessive conversation. Oh my goodness. I hope we now have her convinced that the mouse is friends with little kids. He just wants to give high 5s, and dance, and hand out tickets. Sweet girl. Sure hoping that this girl who seems to love Halloween isn't too spooked to enjoy the festivities on Friday. Thank goodness for some games and pizza to save the day.
If you dress in costume throughout the month of October, you get 50 tickets when you walk in the door. I'm thankful for facebook advertising as I looked for online coupons. Sadly, I wasn't able to tell Julius in time to grab his costume. However, tThe "mouse" was gracious enough to give him tickets also. Michael also received his birthday email in time to take advantage of a few extra.
There were definitely some skee-ball challenges. Jenny challenged dad and Nate to several basketball competitions also. I think it's safe to say she's still the winner.
So after three hours of playing and eating and celebrating, there were some tickets to redeem. The kids have been saving their tickets for several years and tonight was the magic night to redeem them…1600+ of them actually. Katie took 600 and Michael took 1000.
So, I think shutting down the place was a nice indicator of how much fun we all had. I'm thankful for great arms to snuggle the baby. Both Grana & Anna got their turn, Papa too I think. I got a little time to corral the girls, change some pants (after having a tiny little accident hiding from the Mouse), and play a few games myself. Happy birthday mom! Many more birthdays to come!!!
Cub Scout Camping
Michael joined Cub Scouts this past August and has been so delighted by every experience. They've had several den meetings and one pack meeting. He's sold popcorn outside Kroger, earned his Whittling Chip, purchased his uniform, and anticipated this weekend immensely.
It's time to go camping!!!! Papa had originally planned to join them for this weekend, but his back had other plans. Instead, Papa spent the weekend warm, in a bed, and with a good dose of Tylenol and muscle ointment.
Nate & Michael drove almost two hours north of us to the Blue Ridge Mountains. They were actually the first to arrive at camp by about 40 minutes or so. Temperatures were about 20 degrees cooler there than our house. Needless to say, it was a cold weekend hovering around 50/60F daytime and 40s overnight.
He's made some great friends and they were able to meet more from the parish on this family weekend.
Michael was so excited to have gotten his Whittling Chip which gave him access to the roped off whittling circle at camp. He removed the bark from this stick with his boy scout knife. He looks a little cold in this picture though and missing the glove that later surfaced inside his overnight bag. Later as in when mom did laundry after they walked in the door.
They survived the second overnight with 30 degree temperatures and were ready to pack up camp and head home.
Stories are still unfolding from the weekend, but suffice to say there wasn't anything that Michael didn't love. Nate was even able to help the den earn an unexpected Ultimate Frisbee belt loop. Way to go throwing in that Frisbee at the last minute!!
Happy 11th Birthday!!
I can't believe eleven years ago our girl entered this world weighing 4# 11oz. Pre-eclampsia and the onset of my own kidney failure forced her delivery at 33 1/2 weeks. Such a strong girl from the very beginning. She was in the NICU only 8 days and came home weighing 4# 9 oz…not even the traditional 5 pounds. Thank God we proved ourselves competent to bring home such a tiny baby. At eleven years old, she's now in the 98th percentile…a long way from her preemie self.
This year's celebrations included lunch with her dad on Friday and celebrations throughout the day on Saturday. Snuck in some ice cream for breakfast.
Archery at 9:00 a.m. with her friends, volunteering at 1:00 p.m. with her favorite kitchen making meals for poor families in the county. Dinner, cake, duct tape crafting, and slumber party with the family including both aunts!
Aunt Jenny was loved all over by these two girls. In fact, Elizabeth wouldn't let Jenny put her down when they woke up Sunday morning. It was really sweet.
This was a fantastic Sunday morning moment for me. I was nursing the baby and the kids came to play blocks at my feet. They were so nice to one another, playing, sharing, and seeing who could build the tallest tower. The sun was shining in and the kids were happy. For a few minutes, I loved everyone being at my feet.
I love you sweet girl. I hope eleven is the best year yet!!

Dexter Roberts
Dexter Roberts doesn't have any music-related regrets about his time on American Idol, but he is disappointed that he didn't have a chance to get revenge on fellow contestant Sam Woolf for pranking him earlier in the season.
"He zip-tied me to a chair at this restaurant [by] my belt loop," Roberts tells TVGuide.com. "So, when I got up, I took the chair with me. So I was like, yeah, I'm going to get him. But I never did. ... When the tour comes, [he's] getting it."
Jane Elliot
She is irreplaceable and irrepressible and rarely gives interviews, but when Jane Elliot does decide to talk she damn well delivers! On the occasion of General Hospital's 51st anniversary, TV Guide Magazine spoke with the Emmy-winning actress about her legacy as bitch supreme Tracy Quartermaine. Elliot also cut loose on a variety of other topics, from her most famous leading man (Elvis Presley!) to her close, but chemically dangerous, friendship with Days of Our Lives' Deidre Hall. You'll never guess what the two soap queens plan to do when they retire!
TV Guide Magazine: We know you hate compliments and this will probably annoy the crap out of you but we gotta ask: Do you have any idea how beloved you are by the GH fans? They're especially excited about your Emmy pre nom, since you've long been a hold-out when it comes to awards.Elliot: I don't tweet or do any other social media so I don't know what's being said out there. I certainly appreciate what you're telling me and I'm grateful for it but, whenever anybody tells me something like that, it just slides right off me like scrambled eggs off Teflon. I just don't let my mind go there.
Keri Russell
It's May Day (as in: mayday!) for the Russian spies — and just about everyone else — in the taut first-season finale of FX's emotionally engrossing The Americans (Wednesday, 10/9c). Chivalry is not dead, even in the estranged not-quite-marriage of embedded KGB operatives Philip and Elizabeth Jennings (Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell), as they prepare for a dangerous mission that could be a set-up, with lots of jockeying and posturing between husband (who wants to protect while serving) and wife (who's adamant about following orders to the letter) about who's going to risk everything, including their "normal" family life, to walk into what might be a trap.
