Oral History Program Joan Garver Thornton Interviewed by Marci Farr 29 September 2010 Oral History Program Weber State University Stewart Library Ogden, Utah Joan Garver Thornton Interviewed by Marci Farr 29 September 2010 Copyright © 2010 by Weber State University, Stewart Library Mission Statement The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories intended for the widest possible use. Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees (as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations. Project Description The St. Benedict's School of Nursing was founded in 1947 by the Sisters of Mount Benedict. The school operated from April 1947 to 1968. Over the forty-one year period, the school had 605 students and 357 graduates. In 1966, the program became the basis for Weber State College's Practical Nursing Program. This oral history project was created to capture the memories of the graduates and to add to the history of nursing education in Ogden. The interviews focus on their training, religion, and experiences working with doctors, nurses, nuns, and patients at St. Benedict's Hospital. This project received funding from the Utah Humanities Council and the Utah Division of State History. ____________________________________ Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ____________________________________ Rights Management Special Collections All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to the Stewart Library of Weber State University.

In this interview, Joan discusses her recollections and experiences with the St. Benedict's School of Nursing. MF: This is Marci Farr. We are interviewing Joan Thornton. She graduated from St. Benedict's School of Nursing in 1956. It's September 29, 2010, and we are interviewing her via telephone. She lives in Georgia. Would you just share with us a little bit about your early life, where you grew up, a little bit about your family and also where you attended school? JT: I grew up in Saint Anthony, Idaho and grew up with a family of four girls and one boy. I attended school at South Fremont High School in Saint Anthony and had never been out of town until I went to Utah. MF: For nurses training? JT: Yes. MF: Why did you decide to become a nurse? JT: I think growing up my mother was a wonderful care giver for us kids. We didn't see too many doctors and were never in the hospital. My father was also a very caring person. My oldest sister went to nursing school at St. Benedict's and I absolutely idolized her. MF: Oh good. What was your sister's name? JT: Beverly Garver. Siddoway now. MF: Okay. That's good to know these connections. 2 JT: My little sister also went to nursing school there. Her name was Connie Garver and now it's Connie Van Hook. MF: Oh really? Good to know. I know we talked to Pat Hopkins Brown the other day. You were a couple of years before her? JT: Yes. I was before her. I also knew her sister too-Helen Hopkins. MF: Yes. Very good. So this was your first time away from home? What were you thinking when you first entered nurses training? JT: Well, I'll tell you. First of all I got into nurses training through Sister Berno. I got a scholarship from the Utah State Nurses Association. It was Sister Berno who recommended me for that. I'll forever be grateful to her for that. When I first got there I was just in awe of the nuns and of the student nurses and their uniforms. Ogden was such a big city to me. MF: Compared to Saint Anthony, I'm sure. JT: Yes. MF: Who was your roommate during training? JT: My roommate was Anne Mann Grannon. She was my roommate through my second and third year. She was a very good roommate. We got along very well. I still talk to her occasionally. MF: Oh good. That's nice that you stay connected after all these years. Who were some of your classmates? JT: Patty Birch Mazzola. I went through grade school and high school with her and we went to nurses school together. She was one of the girls I graduated with. 3 Also Joan Snow and Nancy McCurdy. Alice Speedy Hartley. I hope I'm not forgetting anybody else. MF: Was Josephine Ulibarri the same year as you? JT: Yes. Thank you for reminding me. MF: We just interviewed her too. That's a great group of women that you got to spend three years with. JT: Yes, it was. MF: Tell us about the Sisters. What are some of the things that you remember about the Sisters at Saint Benedict's . JT: My very favorite was Sister Estelle. She taught anatomy and physiology. Sister Mary Gerald also. I'm trying to think of some of the others. I had them all written down here. I remember I was just in awe of them. MF: Did you ever have any interactions with them outside of school? JT: We did. We played horseshoes out in the back and they would have cookouts for us. MF: Was it interesting to see the difference in them from when they were in school to when you were just spending time together outside of class? JT: Yes. We had a good time with them. MF: So what were some of your favorite classes that you took? JT: My favorite classes were anatomy and physiology and medical arts. MF: Was Jeane Barker your teacher? JT: Jeane Barker was one of my idols as well. MF: She's amazing. We interviewed her a couple weeks ago. 4 JT: We were so fortunate to have her teaching us. She was somebody that we really looked up to. MF: We just fell in love with her as well. That's great. Do you remember any of the doctors that you worked with while you were in training? JT: Yes, Doctor Moore and Doctor Stirland, Doctor Howell, who I was deathly afraid of, and Doctor Swindler who I was afraid of also. Doctor Moore organized a Presbyterian church get together on a Sunday evening and invited the nursing students and some boys from the Base. That's where I met my husband. MF: Oh good. JT: I was married until he died just not too long ago. MF: So was he in the Air Force? JT: Yes. He was in the Air Force. MF: He was stationed at Hill? JT: He was stationed at Hill Air Force Base. MF: Well, that's a good thing. JT: Yes. MF: So tell us a little bit about what you and some of your roommates would do if you had some time off. JT: We would play cards or actually we were almost too tired to do anything. MF: I'm sure. It was probably crazy. JT: Yes. We watched TV and we would go down to Judy's down the hill and have a Coke or something like that. Occasionally we'd go to a movie when we had the money. We were all poor. 5 MF: Poor and tired, right? JT: Right. Of course, some of the girls went to the USO dances. I didn't ever go to them. Then, of course, I met my husband at church and he was in the Air Force. MF: Well, that's good. Now at that time you couldn't be married, right? During training? Could you be engaged? JT: You could be engaged but, I have to tell you, I was secretly married in my senior year. MF: Oh, yeah. That's a good story to hear. Somebody else told us that story too and I can't remember who it was that said they were married. JT: My husband was stationed in Louisiana and wanted me to meet his parents. He picked me up in Ogden and we went to California to meet his parents. On the way back we got married in Las Vegas and he left the next day. MF: That's crazy. A whirlwind wedding. JT: Yes. I saw him after I graduated. I went down after taking the state boards, then moved to North Carolina to be with him. MF: That's good. We had somebody else that said the same thing. They had a whole year until they graduated and they had to keep it a secret. JT: Yes. That was hard to do. MF: I'm sure. That would be. You'd be terrified because you'd be like, "I'm almost finished." JT: Yes. I know. MF: That would not be a good thing. JT: No. 6 MF: So, when you were at the hospital, which floor or rotation do you think was your favorite out of the ones that you were trained on? JT: I liked medical floor really well, mainly because of Sister Mary Gerald. I enjoyed working in orthopedics, labor and delivery, and the nursery. I liked the medical floor because I felt like I learned a lot more about patients there, the different types of the diseases of the body. MF: It was broader probably as far as learning because everything would come through. JT: Yes. MF: Did you have any rotations out of the state at this time? JT: Yes. I had one in Denver. That was Pediatrics and that was a real challenging one. I really liked it and I learned a lot there. What was really interesting was the Polio patients. MF: Were they in the hospital? JT: These were post Polio patients. MF: Oh, okay. After. JT: At St. Benedict's I took care of patients in the iron lung and that was really something to see. Sometimes you'd see several members of a family all sick with Polio. MF: That would be so tragic to see. JT: A lot of us nurses took special care of the patients in iron lungs. Then when I went to Denver we took care of post Polio patients and used the hot packs. We'd 7 run these big wool blankets through the washing machine ringer and then lay them on the patients for their muscle spasms. MF: That would be so hard to see both ends of it. Plus, with children, I think that would probably be the hardest to see that with children. JT: Yes, it was. MF: So how long were you in Denver? JT: It was a three month rotation. MF: Oh, okay. So was that at the end of your senior year or did you do that during your junior year? JT: I did that between my junior and senior year. MF: Okay. It was probably great seeing the Polio victims in the iron lung but then to see them after with the affects of it. JT: Yes. And then to see it eradicated all together through the polio vaccine. MF: Oh, I'm sure. That was just amazing. It was probably a miracle just to be able to see people be able to recover from this. JT: Right. It was. I had a very favorite patient and his name was Johnny. After he got home he wrote me a love letter. He was just a little kid, a little boy. MF: Oh, how nice. JT: I can remember when he was coming out of the iron lung and ready to go home and we had to show his mother how to use a suction and how to take care of him. I always wondered how things progressed with him. MF: I'm sure. It's amazing that people survive these illnesses. JT: It is. 8 MF: That's a scary thing to have to think about. So now did you have any other rotations or was Denver your only one? JT: Denver was my only one. MF: So was Hastings, Nebraska after you? JT: We didn't have Hastings as a rotation during my time in nurses training. MF: So did you enjoy your time in Denver? JT: Yes, I did. A lot of us nurses would go to the city park. It's a huge park. That was when rock and roll became popular. We'd go down to the local place and have Coke and listen to rock and roll on the little jukebox. MF: That's great. So tell us a little bit about your capping ceremony and where that took place. JT: The capping ceremony took place in the nursing library. It was just a very beautiful, solemn service. I was very proud to get my cap and my cape. MF: I'm sure. You worked hard for those to be able to say, "Yes, I'm gonna make it." So that was at the nursing home. Where was graduation held at? JT: Graduation was held at St. Joseph's Catholic church there in Ogden and it was absolutely beautiful. MF: Was your family invited to that? JT: Yes. My mother and my dad, who never went any place, drove down there and I was so proud to see them. MF: How exciting to have them be there for you. That's a great thing. You sister wasn't in class yet was she? Connie wasn't? JT: No, she wasn't and my older sister had already graduated. 9 MF: Okay. JT: They were very proud. My brother, Paddy Garver, went to medical school and he became a doctor. They had three girls who became nurses, one boy that became a doctor, and another girl who worked for the government in Denver, Colorado – Madeline Garver. MF: What a great thing for your parents. That's a great legacy for them. That is wonderful. What do you think was probably your greatest challenge while you were in nurses training? JT: I think probably working the twelve hour shifts, working nights and then going to class at eight o'clock in the morning. MF: That would probably do it right there. That would be a really hard thing. So after you graduated from St. Benedict's did you stay at the hospital for any time or did you just go right to North Carolina with your husband? JT: After I took state boards then I went to North Carolina where my husband was stationed. I went there in September. He was out of the service by January and we went to California where I worked there and raised our family. We had three children. My husband worked for the government and we were transferred to Great Falls, Montana. That was a dream job for us because we wanted to get back so bad to the real West. The Wild West. We lived in Montana for about twelve years and then he was transferred down to Georgia. MF: So that's where you've been ever since? JT: Yes. He always wanted to get back to Montana. He was from Arkansas and he loved Utah and Montana. Those were his favorite places. 10 MF: All the mountains and the beautiful places. So you have three kids. What did they end up doing in their careers? JT: I had six children. My oldest daughter is a social worker and she graduated from SMU in Dallas, Texas. My second daughter is an RN living in Savannah, Georgia, working for the school system. My third daughter is a flight attendant, living in Charlotte, NC. My son graduated from Jacksonville State in Alabama with a degree in communications. He is now in sales. I had twins and my son is going to school and my other daughter passed away about two years ago. MF: Well, that's good to know about your kids. Well, I appreciate you letting us visit with you. When did you officially retire? JT: I retired in 1997 and during my career I was a supervisor and then ended up making a career out of the emergency room as a charge nurse. MF: Oh good. That was probably something different every day. JT: Right. My training at St. Benedict's was invaluable. I received the best training there could have ever been. MF: Oh, I'm sure. So did you deal with any situation- so you ran the hospital and you also were trained on every single floor. There was probably not anything that would make you hesitate because you knew just what to do. JT: Right. MF: That's great. The nuns, I'm sure the Sister's were amazing. JT: They were. They were a great inspiration for us. MF: Well, I appreciate you letting us visit with you and I'm sorry that I was late. 11 JT: Oh, Marci you weren't late and I appreciate you taking your time to do this too. I think it's wonderful.

Cincinnati, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - A Top 25 showdown is on tap in the American Athletic Conference on Thursday night, as the seventh-ranked Cincinnati Bearcats play host to the 22nd-ranked Connecticut Huskies.
Mick Cronin's Bearcats are off to the best start in his eight years at the helm and the team's best overall start since the 2001-02 campaign. Cincinnati is an impressive 21-2 on the season, has won 14 straight games and is a perfect 10-0 in conference play thus far. The team is also enjoying a 17-game homecourt winning streak, including all 15 matchups at Fifth Third Arena this year. The Bearcats kept all those streak intact on Sunday, with a hard-fought 50-45 victory over USF.
Kevin Ollie's Huskies are still within striking distance in the league standings, sitting at a decent 5-3. Connecticut has won three straight games and six of its last seven overall, including an 80-43 rout of Houston last week.
UConn holds an 8-4 series advantage against Cincinnati, including a 4-1 mark in true road games. These teams split a pair of meetings last season, each winning on its home floor.
Ollie has mixed things up in terms of the starting rotation for Connecticut as he tries to find the right pieces up front to balance out the guard play of All-American candidate Shabazz Napier and Ryan Boatright. One of the most complete and versatile guards in the nation, Napier has the ability to do it all, leading the team in scoring (17.9 ppg), rebounding (6.0 rpg), assists (5.7 apg) and steals (39). Boatright is a nice complement alongside Napier at 12.4 ppg. DeAndre Daniels (13.4 ppg, 5.6 rpg) is the most productive player up front, although he is currently nursing an ankle injury and is questionable for this contest.
Daniels wasn't needed in the lopsided win over Houston. The Huskies owned a hefty 55-40 rebounding edge en route to the victory. Four players notched double figures for Connecticut, led by Napier's 19 points. Boatright finished with 15 points, while Niels Giffey and Phillip Nolan chipped in with 10 points apiece.
All-American candidate Sean Kilpatrick fought through illness and despite going just 5-of-16 from the floor, was able to score the last eight points for Cincinnati in its five-point win over the Bulls. The entire Cincinnati team struggled to find an offensive rhythm, shooting a mere .333 from the floor. Kilpatrick finished with a game-high 18 points in the win. Justin Jackson netted 15 points in support.
Offensive outbursts are not the norm for the Bearcats, who rely much more on their defensive tenacity to win games. Cincinnati is among the nation's best in both scoring defense (56.7 ppg) and field-goal percentage defense (.386), while owning positives in both rebounding margin (+4.8) and turnover margin (+4.0). The team doesn't have many offensive weapons, although Kilpatrick is certainly one, leading the conference in scoring at 19.4 ppg. Jackson has asserted himself as a force down low, averaging 11.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.3 blocks per game. Titus Rubles doesn't add much in terms of scoring (7.3 ppg), but is another asset on the glass (6.4 rpg).

Necklace & Bracelet Clasp Types
Lobster Claw Clasp: As a traditional clasp style found in bracelets and necklaces, the lobster claw is generally reserved for heavier styles that may need added strength. The closure's shape is more oblong, similar to a teardrop shape, and is controlled by a tip that opens and closes the spring in the clasp. This type is also considered a more expensive finding that can add to the overall value of the jewelry piece.
Magnetic Clasp: The popularity of the magnetic clasp has greatly increased in recent years. It is a quick and easy way to secure jewelry while not having to fuss with a tiny clasp, which can be difficult if you have long fingernails, arthritic hands or other mobility challenges. A magnetic clasp relies on a strong internal magnet that works to pull both ends of the clasp together. In most cases, a magnetic clasp is used for light to medium weight jewelry pieces that do not put excessive stress on the magnet.
Slide Insert Clasp: This type of clasp is exactly as it sounds. With a box-like shape that is hollow on the inside, the wearer will slide the nearly-flat tab into the box until it clicks, indicating a secure closure. On some jewelry, a slide insert clasp will be accompanied by a side safety catch, which adds strength and security to the clasp. Although this type of clasp is found on both bracelets and necklaces, it is particularly popular on bracelet styles. These types of clasps are often reserved for more expensive jewelry.
Spring Ring Clasp: One of the most common closure types, the spring ring clasp is typically used for light to medium weight bracelets or necklaces. It is round in its design and features a small tip which controls the opening and closing of the spring. The circle then closes around another smaller loop or link at the other end of the strand.
Toggle Clasp: A toggle clasp is a narrow piece of metal, usually designed in the shape of a bar, which is then pushed through a circular ring to act as a fastener. Unlike the lobster claw or spring ring clasps, a toggle clasp is not controlled by a spring. The pretty design is less secure than other closure types, but is usually meant to be a big part of the design and is meant to "show". The clasp is an attractive way to secure a chunkier link bracelet or necklace.
Platinum Plating: Platinum can be used as a finish coating over sterling silver or copper alloys. Its bright, pure luster enhances the brilliance of gemstones and does not discolor or oxidize. Platinum plating is also characterized by its good resistance to surface abrasion, making jewelry pieces more durable against everyday and long-term wear. Over time, platinum plating will wear off and therefore will require re-plating.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Zircon often suffers for its name's similarity to "cubic zirconia," the simulated diamond. The stone zircon, however, is actually a beautiful natural gemstone. It is named from the Persian word "zargun," meaning "gold-colored." This is despite the fact that it comes in a wide range of rainbow colors. The majority of zircons are brown or yellow-brown, while pure red and green are the most valuable colors. The yellow-red to reddish-brown variety is called "hyacinth."
For many years, the most popular type of zircon was the colorless variety. More than any other natural stone, colorless zircons produce a brilliant sparkle similar to diamonds. The most popular color today tends to be the bright pastel blue variety. Sometimes called "starlite," blue zircon has recently become considered an alternative birthstone for December.
Zircon is one of the heaviest gemstones, meaning that it will look smaller than other varieties of the same weight. It ranks a hardness between 6.5-7.5 on the Mohs Scale and is mined in Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Myanmar and Australia.
Travelers during the 11th century wore zircon amulets for protection and to encourage welcome greetings on their journeys. In the Middle Ages, the stone was said to bring wisdom and prosperity to its owner. Hindu mythology even mentions the gem when referencing the Kalpa Tree, which was a glowing tree covered with gemstone fruit and leaves of zircon.

Ok, after many hours with my nose to the grindstone, I have decided that I am able to offer the TF RF w/ switch kits for sale. Keep in mind that the kit requires a hollow stalk (not included) and a terminal fettler rangefinder topper. Also the ear piece from MoJo-Fett, as well as the ear piece for the GMH, are smaller than the standard ear piece and would need modified to get the switch to fit in it.
Here is what is included in the kit:
Completed light board with the GOW bulbs and wire pre soldered
Honeywell 1sx1-t micro switch with leads soldered
Solder-less wire connectors
9v battery holder
A set of instructions with pictures (I have them in both Word and PDF formats, just let me know which you would like and an email address to send it to).
Here is the vid of the kit installed in my own helmet.
Sale List
I tried to make this kit to be as easy as I could to put together (no soldering required), but modifications to the ear piece, topper, and stalk may be needed to get everything to fit, but that stuff is out of my control.
Ok, now for the price. I will be offering these for $95 including shipping, PayPal only. (lower 48 for right now, I will try to get these overseas at a later date).
In the PayPal invoice notes section please list your TDH name, mailing address, an email address for me to send the instructions to, as well as which file (PDF or Word), you would like me to send you.
I don't want to seem like I am beating a dead horse, but this kit must have a hollow stalk to work, and the GMH as well as the Mojo-Fett ear pieces are a bit small, so some slight modifications are needed to get the switch to fit in them. Also this kit is for the RF that terminal fettler sells, not the asok or fettpride rangefinders. The fettpride kit that is similar to this one will be available soon (I just finished designing the board), and I will also be ordering boards for the asok topper soon as well.
I would like to thank Chris (FP), Asok (R.I.P brother you are missed), and Garrett (TF) for the support in this endeavor, without them this wouldn't be happening.
Finally I would like to thank everyone for their patience with this project, my recent medical issues really put a damper on this thing for a while, and thank you to everyone for understanding. I hope everyone likes this kit, and I have more stuff swirling in my head, so hopefully I will have new stuff to announce soon.

If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

This will be your kitties favorite toy
By Sissi
from Galloway, NJ
Maggies mice provide endless entertainment for both my cats. They flip them in the air, roll around on top of them and rub their faces on them while purring loudly then fall asleep on top of them. One of my cats holds it between his paws and licks it for extended periods of time. I like that they are organic and made from recycled materials.

Great gift for cat lovers. Non-toxic, cat friendly. A little pricey with many cats in household, but worth it.

8.2-31 Manufacture of Bombs -- § 53-80a
Revised to December 1, 2007
The defendant is charged [in count __] with the manufacture of bombs. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
any person, other than one engaged in the manufacture of firearms or explosives or incendiary devices for lawful purposes, who fabricates in any manner, any type of an explosive, incendiary or other device designed to be dropped, hurled or set in place to be exploded by a timing device, shall be guilty.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Fabricated
incendiary device
The first element is that the
defendant fabricated an explosive, incendiary or other device designed to be
dropped, hurled, or set in place to be exploded by a timing device. The term "explosive
or incendiary device" means (A) dynamite and all other forms of high
explosives, (B) any explosive bomb, grenade, missile or similar device, and (C)
any incendiary bomb or grenade, fire bomb or similar device, including any
device which (i) consists of or includes a breakable container which contains a
flammable liquid or compound and a wick composed of any material which, when
ignited, is capable of igniting such flammable liquid or compound, and (ii) can
be carried or thrown by an individual.
Element 2 - No lawful purpose
The second element is that the
defendant was not engaged in the manufacture of the device for lawful purposes.
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the defendant fabricated <insert type of device alleged>, and 2) that (he/she) was not engaged in the lawful manufacture of such devices.
If you unanimously find that the state
has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the manufacture of
bombs, then you shall find the defendant guilty. On the other hand, if you
unanimously find that the state has failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt
any of the elements, you shall then find the defendant not guilty.

I am an unabashed lover of the dollar store. Because the dollar store is pretty much the greatest thing since the doughnut store next door. That's right, there's a doughnut store next to the dollar store. I rest my case.
Anyhow, I'm telling you this because I was there a few weeks ago and there was this plastic flamingo balloon thing and in that moment I was absolutely positive it was going to change my life, plus it was a dollar (mostly that), so obviously I bought it. Also obviously: I regretted it the second I got it out the door. It's one of those things you can't ever get rid of, though. Like, I've tried. I've stashed it away where I think I'll never have to see it again, but it just keeps resurfacing. And I can't be bothered to just throw it away, so the flamingo is here to stay, I think. I've named it Stephanie.
This is the actual flamingo. Thanks, internet. I'll forgive you for the time when you hated me and wouldn't load pages, by which I mean every day. Actually, I don't forgive you.
I'm telling you that because it's kind of a powerful analogy that I'd like to use for the fact that I haven't voted for the All Star Game in about four years, with one notable exception. (Which I will get to later.) But I just can't bring myself to angle away from my Twitter/pretty exceptional Spotify playlists/enough What To Wear and What Not To Wear Article to Paper All the Walls of My Theoretical Mansion in Malibu and get to voting.
That's not quite it. I could probably drag myself away from those riveting things mentioned above if I cared about voting, but I don't. I don't much like the All Star Game and I'm never sure who to vote for so I sometimes write in Joe Martinez and Eugenio Velez and Dave Grohl, because really, what baseball needs is an celebrity All Star Game, like the NBA has. I mean, Jack White is totally closer material.
So that's why I don't vote, I guess? But I do like that by being a Giants fan I get the reputation of being a ballot-stuffer. It's kind of like being really badass by association, no leather jacket or motorcycle needed.
Diamond Girl
p.s. Oh yes! The story about the time I did vote. It was when Yu Darvish was up for the final vote. I think I voted 75 times, or whatever the maximum is. Because I love Yu. I also might have been really bored or hyped on coffee that day? I can't remember. I also can't remember if he ended up winning that and I'm too lazy to reach for the Google, so I'll just live with the mystery.

When was the last time that the packaging of a product misled you and the moment that you took a bite of the creation within, you began to wonder what the marketing people were thinking. Well, this happened to me last night when I dug into a Luna Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookie.
LUNA Cookie, according to the website, "is a temptingly soft, all-natural, baked whole grain snack full of good stuff like fiber and omega-3s from flax." There is a chunky chocolate bar and a group of whole peanuts on the packaging, yet there are no chunks in the batter, unless you count oats. Perhaps if there would have been chocolate chips or nuts in the batter, I would have been sold, but for now I am just satisfied. It's like a smooth, soft, peanut butter-y cookie bar, but they should take the name chocolate out of the title, because a teeny drizzle of chocolate atop the overwhelmingly peanut butter consumed base, does not merit a spot in the description.
Just like the Luna Chocolate Mint Cookie, this Luna creation is very chewy, reminding me of a very dense oatmeal cookie with peanut butter thrown into the batter.
A Luna Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookie provides 150 calories, 9% of the daily value for total fat, 5% of the DV for saturated fat, 3 grams of fiber, 4 grams of protein and 10 grams of sugars. And of course, Luna bars are made with 70% organic ingredients, which is great, but in this case, what's not so great is that the first 3 ingredients are basically sugar - Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, Organic Brown Rice Syrup, Organic Tapioca Syrup.
These cookies were on sale for 5/$5 last week, but they are usually a bit more expensive. Since it doesn't taste (or look) too much different from a Peanut Butter CLIF Zbar ... maybe just a touch denser to the discernible taste buds, I would go for the CLIF Zbar instead, which is usually closer to the price of $0.89, give or take a few cents, and actually has chocolate chips dispersed throughout - imagine that!

Britain's national museums and galleries, with their world-class collections, certainly attract the crowds - the British Museum alone sees more than four million visitors pass through its doors each year.
An area famed for its scenery and heritage is the south west of Cornwall. The town of St Ives, on its northern coast, has attracted and inspired artists for many years. Sculptor Barbara Hepworth, a contemporary of Henry Moore and arguably as influential, made her home in the town. The Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, run by neighbouring Tate St Ives, displays dozens of her wood, stone, bronze and marble works, placed as she has wished before her death in 1975.
The garden is a wonderful place to ponder the links between art and nature – although Hepworth's works are resolutely abstract, they were strongly influenced by the surrounding Cornish hills and coastline.
Lincoln's Inn Fields, in the heart of the legal district, is an elegant square well known by lawyers but little visited by the throngs that pack nearby Covent Garden. One of London's best, but lesser known, museums is innocuously located along its row of terraced town houses.
A modest queue of visitors outside its front door is the best clue to the location of Sir John Soane's Museum, and the wait is well worth it, because it's not only the rich and charming collection within that appeals, but the house's interior and the way its treasures are displayed.
Each room is packed full of rare paintings, sculptures and antiquities, collected by architect Soane (not to be confused with Sir Hans Sloane, whose collection founded the British Museum) between the 1780s and his death in 1837. Subsequent curators have been bound to preserve the museum as it was when Soane died, and the extraordinary range of closely displayed exhibits make it a real visual feast.In south London, hidden away from the riverside and wharves in Southwark, The Old Operating Theatre, Museum and Herb Garret is one of the city's more curious places to visit. It's the oldest operating theatre in the country, located in the attic of St Thomas's Church.
If you have ever bemoaned the hectic pace of modern life, a visit to this museum will make you glad that at least you live in a world with anaesthetic. Prior to 1847 surgeons had no reliable way of putting their patient to sleep, and what's more, operations in Victorian times would have been viewed by a whole room of medical students – hence the term operating theatre.
If operations were painful, they were at least quick (an amputation could take less than a minute at the hands of a skilled surgeon) and you can see the original wooden theatre and learn the gory details of its past.
Its guided tours and regular events – speed surgery demonstrations anyone? – are typical of the country's smaller and lesser-known attractions. While they may not boast the famous exhibits of some better-known venues, they can be just as rewarding and entertaining.

The famous fashion designer and founder of the Barbara Bates Foundation recalls her battle with breast cancer.
I consider myself an intelligent woman, but had all the wrong information pertaining to breast cancer. I thought there had to be family history of this disease to be at risk. Surely women with big breasts got breast cancer, and I believed white women were at a greater risk. WRONG.
When I felt a lump in my left breast, I wasn't worried. I had a biopsy on that breast when I was 27 and it turned out to be nothing. So surely I wasn't worried about this new lump. I mentioned this to a girlfriend; she was far more concerned, so I made an appointment to have it checked out. On June 1, 2009 at 11:00am, after seeing the doctor for about three minutes, she said, "You have breast cancer." By 4:00pm that same day I had an ultra sound, removal of several lymph nodes under my arm and a breast biopsy.
I decided to get a second opinion and began a long journey of treatment and renewal at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. I had a lumpectomy, then a port placed in my chest for easy access for my 14 chemo treatments. I received 35 treatments of radiation and one year of Herceptin. Through this process I lost all of my hair and 20 pounds. The journey was long and the fight was hard, but I was victorious.
After treatment I gained my weight back, got new cells in my body, new hair, healthy skin and a new attitude toward life. I've had so many people praying for my recovery. All of our prayers were surely answered.
I continued to work during all of my treatments. There were a few days I didn't feel well and stayed home. I can count them on one hand. My business didn't suffer; it thrived. After my bout with breast cancer and being exposed to millions of people from my appearance on NBC's Fashion Star, new opportunities are coming my way, including fundraising fashion shows from various organizations in Illinois and outside of Chicago and speaking engagements on breast cancer. Even the American Cancer Society reached out to me for their annual "Cure by Design" show to feature my designs. Breast Cancer changed my life. I realized how blessed I was to have a God-given gift to design and create.
All I know for sure is that I have to keep it moving. No time to shut down and wallow in self-pity. I'd love to have a nervous breakdown with all that's come my way during my breast cancer battle, but I don't have time. I'm fighting multiple battles. I need my sanity and strength.
Every year I have a fashion show fundraiser. The Barbara Bates Foundation (BBF) has given away over 500 custom prom dresses and 200 suits to deserving high school seniors for prom and graduation. This year the fashion show will add a new component. On October 28, the BBF will host a fashion show at Prentice Women's Hospital at Northwestern. Fifty models – all breast cancer survivors – will grace the runway. They come from all walks of life, and we'll celebrate their courage and educate our audience on the importance of mammograms and early detection. All of the fashions worn in the show are from Barbara Bates Fall 2012.
The event also marks the launch of a partnership between BBF and the Lynn Sage Cancer Research Foundation. BBF will raise money for a grant to educate and address the disparities of breast cancer screening and treatment faced by women in African-American and Latino communities.
Today I find myself always asking women, "Have you had a mammogram this year? When is the last time you did a self-exam?" And I stress the importance of early detection. There are no gray areas when it comes to breast cancer. You have to address it now so that I can dress you later.

"As we get more into summer we'll have to have weeks when we're up to 15 million or 20 million pounds."
Winter prices were lower than the industry anticipated, Wedin said, but that fed demand.
"Demand has really come forward," he said. "That's increased the need for product and when growers pick slightly less in both California and Mexico, it drives prices up quickly."
Two-layer cartons of hass avocados from California shipped for $31.25-32.25 on size 48s and $30.25 on 60s March 18, according to the USDA. Year-ago prices were about $32 and $30, respectively.
Quality is good on Mexico and California fruit, Lucy said.
"California will dominate the West and Mexico the rest of the country for the next two and a half months," he said March 18.
"The big problem has been lack of rain in California," he said. "Rain really helps it size up. We're hoping for a few more storms in April and May."
Easter added to demand for avocados, Lucy said, but the fruit doesn't get quite the same bump from that holiday as strawberries. The next big one will be Cinco de Mayo.
Unlike last year, Chilean imports ended well before mid-March. Chile sharply cut exports to the U.S. after the Association of Michoacan State Avocado Producers and Packers (APEAM) estimated the 2012-2013 crop at 986 million pounds, up from 782 million the year before.

Alix: I think its safe to say 5 weeks for you.. I felt that way very early on with the whole clothes thing. I wear mine snug fitting anyway (but not too tight) so any slight weight gain was noticeable. By 9 weeks, i was crying and getting maternity pants (which..are so comfy, btw). I still wear a few of my maternity clothes..they are THAT comfy!
Tara: He wont let me because he doesnt like dealing with sherriffs. In his younger years, he was a hooligan after his detective father passed away from cancer, so he went wild after that. Luckily, he's grown up and matured since then but he does NOT like dealing with cops, even if its for a good thing.
Im hoping we didnt catch an eggie we didnt mean to. We BD'd on the 2nd without protection and thats when he "forgot" but thats 6 days later if i O'd on the 8th.. I had O pains on the 5th though.. so Im confused. I know last week I had a few "odd" days where I slept in til almost 9 am because layla slept in that late vs getting up at 7am like usual, so maybe those are slightly off? Im not sure. Im reading the FFsites book trying to understand the charting better. I definitely O'd though. We used protection this weekend..once. lol. The second time was a withdrawl..but I sure dont trust that. Layla was either concieved from a few day old swimmers or pull out mehtod failure. But I think im safe if I O'd on the 8th
afm- I think Im going to start the Lo loestrin FE next cycle.. DH has already proved this whole "using protection" thing isnt going to work lol. Next cycle puts me at Layla being 11 months, so I think I should be ok. We like to be spontaneous with our BDing and we have never had to use protection before so its hard to remember (alot harder to remember than I thought it would be too.. I figured I'd remember at least, but when you are in the heat of the moment.. NOT as easy as it appears lol). So I am going to have to take my own precautions.
The estrace cream helped tremendously, so I am good in that area, and maybe the small amount of estrogen in the LLF bcp will be just enough to keep my body on the right track. Idk. still on the fence. AF (if i get it) is due on my and DH's birthday... how lovely . I may need a hpt for my present!
Alix- Sounds like you're suffering from fatigue from that little bean in there. Wearing jeans in hot weather sounds absolutely miserable.
Brie- The mini pill does sound like a good idea for you guys. Kinda sucks having to take it at the same time everyday. The pull out method really isn't much of a method AKA pull and pray. We know someone who ended up with twins that way. Too bad he has such an aversion to law enforcement. They aren't all bad. You'd be calling cause you need their help not cause either of you are in trouble. That's part of what they are there for and you should be able to call them if you need to.

Alix: Burlington coat factory has some super cheap maternity stuff here, then the other place was Bealls outlet, but thats more of a Florida chain store. Check out burlington for sure though I would offer to send you the ones I have, but geez at the rate DH and I are going I may need them again =)) lets hope not..but oh well. If we ever do have another, Im planning to give birth in december. Lmao.
Tara: Its almost 5 here!! GOOD LUCK! I am hoping you get some encouraging news!!!! FX'd!!!!
I did talk to Dr. M about the mini pill, but she said alot of her patients have a high failure rate, and I have a terrible short term memory, due to a concussion i recieved a few years ago. I can remember things that happend years ago just fine..hours or a day ago? Not so much.I used to be a great multitasker too..but now its more of a one track gotta finish at one sitting thing or i forget. So it really isnt a good fit for me, so I think im just going to take the plunge with the lo loestrin pill. the combination pills are more forgiving for my distracted brain. I havent seen an effect with using the estrace cream on my milk, so I may just go ahead with it, then I may not need to use the estrace cream with the small amount of estrogen in the pill. I can always stop if it does hurt the supply. I just hate to play rush and roulette with my body right now after all ive been through lately. But I sure dont like playing rush and roulette with eggs and swimmers either.. hard decision. I am not starting pills mid cycle either, so I'll wait til AF is due to do HPT and start the pills. I just really hate to take them but i'd hate to have a BFP as well right now. I'll send the BFP vibes to you.
afm- i think i may be coming down with a UTI..luckily, i used to get them alot so i had some Azo on hand.took some and it seems to help. I totally forgot about the alien pee effect though and I nearly fell off the toilet when i saw it LOL.
trying to push fluids to see if that helps get it out

"If it is something you want to entertain, I would suggest extensive, extensive studying of the situation," Snyder said. "... I do not think a decision can be made off of one press conference. I think you need to take a really good look at research. You are educators, you know that.
"Somewhere in there is a middle ground ... I would not make any serious knee-jerk decisions until you have a chance to look at your options."
State Rep. Eric Watson revealed Monday his proposed legislation to allow certain school personnel to carry concealed weapons in schools. School board officials asked Snyder a series of questions and shared their personal opinions. All board members stated their preference for school resource officers over teachers packing heat.
There are currently eight SROs in the city school system with one being shared by E.L. Ross and Yates Primary. According to Snyder, the officers' extensive training includes everything from crisis intervention to hostage negotiations and firearms training courses. All SROs have at least five years' experience with some more than 10, 15 and 20 years. Officers must qualify with their handgun every year in addition to 40 hours of annual in-service.
Richard Shaw, board member, asked what the difference in training would be between a teacher carrying a weapon and an SRO.
"There are probably about 6,000 civilians in Bradley County with their carry permit. They get those by going to a firearms class to receive the civilian certification and training ...," Snyder said. "There are two days of training between the classroom and on the fire range."
Snyder said knowing the guidelines for a crisis situation and following them under pressure are two different things.
"On the law enforcement side, I believe every officer knows what they will do [in an emergency]," Snyder said. "I am sure teachers have had the training on what to do in those circumstances, however, who is to say what you will do in a classroom setting? In the heat of the events, a lot of [classroom information] gets really foggy."
Dawn Robinson, board member, said arming every adult in a school would not necessarily make the building safer.
"It is not just a matter of how to handle a gun. I have people in my family with gun permits. Having someone shoot at them is just out of the realm of how you can train somebody," Robinson said. "We depend on school administrators and the police force to bring the best ways to protect our schools to the table. I know we need to improve, and we will."
The SROs at each of the schools have been questioned about their facility's safety. Each one has written up a list for ways their school can further protect students and staff. Dr. Martin Ringstaff, director of city schools, said 80 percent of the concerns raised by SROs can be addressed by school staff actions.
Steve Morgan, board member, said school safety must remain a top priority.
"After the dust settles [the officers], administration and school board members need to remember six months from now, a year and a half from now," Morgan said.
Cleveland Mayor Tom Rowland reserved his opinion on the proposal until he has thoroughly read the document. He told the school board he would work on having an SRO in both Yates Primary and E.L. Ross Elementary.
"These school resource officers are not just officers. They bond with the students and they bond with the school," Rowland said. "How many times have I talked with the boys and girls and heard them call their school resource officers by their first name?"
"They look forward to coming back on Monday and seeing them," Rowland added. " ... A lot of the things they ask them, they will not ask their teachers. It is a great resource to have them in our schools."
Board members thanked Snyder and the SROs for their continuing involvement with the school system.
"I have never felt unsafe," said Jasmine Martin, school board student representative. "On behalf of the students, I just wanted to say thank you."
Further discussion will continue at February's school board meeting.

(Attica, OH) Attica Raceway Park officials have cancelled the first night of the HD Supply Spring Nationals, set for Friday, April 9, due to rain and cold temperatures. However, the forecast looks much more promising for night number 2 - Saturday, April 10 - featuring the O'Reilly All Star Circuit of Champion Sprint Cars, the Fultz Fabrications and Speed Shop UMP Late Models and the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints. "They are calling for rain in the morning Friday with a strong west wind blowing right into the stands and temperatures falling into the 30s that night... we didn't want to put our teams and fans through all of that after they showed us such tremendous support on opening night," said Attica Operations Director Rex LeJeune. "Saturday's forecast looks much better with temperatures in the 60s. So fans will get to see three divisions," LeJeune added. Gates will open Saturday at 3:30 p.m. with racing underway at 7 p.m. For more information log onto www.atticaracewaypark.com

Product Number: | LFCMRAK762 |
Item Price: | $436.00 |
Availability: | In Stock |
Shipping Weight: | 1.81 lbs. |
The ONLY 1-4x in the world specifically designed for the AK, SKS 7.62x39mm service round and several special purpose rounds including the .300 AAC Blackout (7.62x35mm) and the .300 Whisper.
The new CMR-AK762 is identical in every way, except for the reticle, which has been designed around the ballistics of the 7.62x39mm cartridge. The new reticle still incorporates the illuminated center circle and dot, plus ranging brackets for getting on target quickly and knowing the range when a shot or shots must be taken immediately. For longer range work with the 7.62x39mm round, the reticle features bullet drop compensating hold over lines to 900 meters. The same hold over lines can be used to 550 meters for target work with rifles in .300 BLK or .300 Whisper. At 4x the reticle also includes a feature for estimating range to 1,000 yards.
This new version of the CMR scope is built with a rigid 30mm aluminum tube, and the variable magnification ring can be taken from 1x to 4x, or back, with the flick of the shooter's thumb. Like the original CMR, the 1x setting gives the shooter true 1x magnification. Brightness of the illuminated center reticle can be adjusted as needed thanks to an 11 setting rheostat. Another great feature of this scope is the Hi-Lux Optics "Zero Locking System", which allows windage and elevation alignments to be locked in place, with just enough minor adjustment for adapting the setting to shooting conditions or range - then being able to precisely return to the original settings. Like all Hi-Lux Optics scopes, the CMR-AK762 comes with fully multi-coated lenses for maximum light transmission

Some have asked: Can we really end mass shootings?
What if I told you that since 1934, there have been zero civilian massacres in the US using automatic weapons?
In fact, since the National Firearms Act of 1934, fully-automatic firearms have been heavily taxed and regulated, and in most cases civilians can't get one. Since then, very few killings, and zero mass shootings, involved the weapons it regulates.
I just point this out because somebody probably told you that regulation doesn't work.
