The Israelites come to the wilderness of Sin. They murmur for food, God promises bread from heaven. (1-12) God sends quails and manna. (13-21) Particulars respecting the manna. (22-31) An omer of manna to be preserved. (32-36)
Verses 1-12 The provisions of Israel, brought from Egypt, were spent by the middle of the second month, and they murmured. It is no new thing for the greatest kindness to be basely represented as the greatest injuries. They so far undervalue their deliverance, that they wished they had died in Egypt; and by the hand of the Lord, that is, by the plagues which cut off the Egyptians. We cannot suppose they had plenty in Egypt, nor could they fear dying for want in the wilderness, while they had flocks and herds: none talk more absurdly than murmurers. When we begin to fret, we ought to consider, that God hears all our murmurings. God promises a speedy and constant supply. He tried whether they would trust him, and rest satisfied with the bread of the day in its day. Thus he tried if they would serve him, and it appeared how ungrateful they were. When God plagued the Egyptians, it was to make them know he was their Lord; when he provided for the Israelites, it was to make them know he was their God.
Verses 13-21 At evening the quails came up, and the people caught with ease as many as they needed. The manna came down in dew. They called it "Manna, Manhu," which means, "What is this?" "It is a portion; it is that which our God has allotted us, and we will take it, and be thankful." It was pleasant food; it was wholesome food. The manna was rained from heaven; it appeared, when the dew was gone, as a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost, like coriander seed, in colour like pearls. The manna fell only six days in the week, and in double quantity on the sixth day; it bred worms and became offensive if kept more than one day, excepting on the sabbath. The people had never seen it before. It could be ground in a mill, or beaten in a mortar, and was then made into cakes and baked. It continued the forty years the Israelites were in the wilderness, wherever they went, and ceased when they arrived in Canaan. All this shows how different it was from any thing found before, or found now. They were to gather the manna every morning. We are hereby taught, 1. To be prudent and diligent in providing food for ourselves and our households; with quietness working, and eating our own bread, not the bread of idleness or deceit. God's bounty leaves room for man's duty; it did so even when manna was rained; they must not eat till they have gathered. 2. To be content with enough. Those that have most, have for themselves but food and raiment; those that have least, generally have these; so that he who gathers much has nothing over, and he who gathers little has no lack. There is not such a disproportion between one and another in the enjoyment of the things of this life, as in the mere possession of them. 3. To depend upon Providence: let them sleep quietly, though they have no bread in their tents, nor in all their camp, trusting that God, with the following day, would bring them in their daily bread. It was surer and safer in God's storehouse than their own, and would come thence sweeter and fresher. See here the folly of hoarding. The manna laid up by some, who thought themselves wiser, and better managers, than their neighbours, and who would provide lest it should fail next day, bred worms, and became good for nothing. That will prove to be most wasted, which is covetously and distrustfully spared. Such riches are corrupted, ( james 5:2 james 5:3 ) . The same wisdom, power, and goodness that brought food daily from above for the Israelites in the wilderness, brings food yearly out of the earth in the constant course of nature, and gives us all things richly to enjoy.
Verses 22-31 Here is mention of a seventh-day sabbath. It was known, not only before the giving of the law upon mount Sinai, but before the bringing of Israel out of Egypt, even from the beginning, ( Genesis 2:3 ) . The setting apart one day in seven for holy work, and, in order to that, for holy rest, was ever since God created man upon the earth, and is the most ancient of the Divine laws. Appointing them to rest on the seventh day, he took care that they should be no losers by it; and none ever will be losers by serving God. On that day they were to fetch in enough for two days, and to make it ready. This directs us to contrive family affairs, so that they may hinder us as little as possible in the work of the sabbath. Works of necessity are to be done on that day; but it is desirable to have as little as may be to do, that we may apply ourselves the more closely to prepare for the life that is to come. When they kept manna against a command, it stank; when they kept it by a command, it was sweet and good; every thing is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. On the seventh day God did not send the manna, therefore they must not expect it, nor go out to gather. This showed that it was produced by miracle.
Verses 32-36 God having provided manna to be his people's food in the wilderness, the remembrance of it was to be preserved. Eaten bread must not be forgotten. God's miracles and mercies are to be had in remembrance. The word of God is the manna by which our souls are nourished, ( Matthew 4:4 ) . The comforts of the Spirit are hidden manna, ( Revelation 2:17 ) . These come from heaven, as the manna did, and are the support and comfort of the Divine life in the soul, while we are in the wilderness of this world. Christ in the word is to be applied to the soul, and the means of grace are to be used. We must every one of us gather for ourselves, and gather in the morning of our days, the morning of our opportunities; which if we let slip, it may be too late to gather. The manna must not be hoarded up, but eaten; those who have received Christ, must by faith live upon him, and not receive his grace in vain. There was manna enough for all, enough for each, and none had too much; so in Christ there is enough, but not more than we need. But those who ate manna, hungered again, died at last, and with many of them God was not well pleased; whereas they that feed on Christ by faith, shall never hunger, and shall die no more, and with them God will be for ever well pleased. Let us seek earnestly for the grace of the Holy Spirit, to turn all our knowledge of the doctrine of Christ crucified, into the spiritual nourishment of our souls by faith and love.
Exodus 16:1-36 . MURMURS FOR WANT OF BREAD.
1. they took their journey from Elim--where they had remained several days.
came unto the wilderness of Sin--It appears from Numbers 32:1-42 , that several stations are omitted in this historical notice of the journey. This passage represents the Israelites as advanced into the great plain, which, beginning near El-Murkah, extends with a greater or less breadth to almost the extremity of the peninsula. In its broadest part northward of Tur it is called El-Kaa, which is probably the desert of Sin [ROBINSON].
2. the whole congregation . . . murmured against Moses and Aaron--Modern travellers through the desert of Sinai are accustomed to take as much as is sufficient for the sustenance of men and beasts during forty days. The Israelites having been rather more than a month on their journey, their store of corn or other provisions was altogether or nearly exhausted; and there being no prospect of procuring any means of subsistence in the desert, except some wild olives and wild honey ( Deuteronomy 32:13 ), loud complaints were made against the leaders.
3. Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt--How unreasonable and absurd the charge against Moses and Aaron! how ungrateful and impious against God! After all their experience of the divine wisdom, goodness, and power, we pause and wonder over the sacred narrative of their hardness and unbelief. But the expression of feeling is contagious in so vast a multitude, and there is a feeling of solitude and despondency in the desert which numbers cannot dispel; and besides, we must remember that they were men engrossed with the present--that the Comforter was not then given--and that they were destitute of all visible means of sustenance and cut off from every visible comfort, with only the promises of an unseen God to look to as the ground of their hope. And though we may lament they should tempt God in the wilderness and freely admit their sin in so doing, we can be at no loss for a reason why those who had all their lives been accustomed to walk by sight should, in circumstances of unparalleled difficulty and perplexity, find it hard to walk by faith. Do not even we find it difficult to walk by faith through the wilderness of this world, though in the light of a clearer revelation, and under a nobler leader than Moses? [FISK]. (See 1 Corinthians 10:11 1 Corinthians 10:12 ).
4. Then said the Lord unto Moses--Though the outbreak was immediately against the human leaders, it was indirectly against God: yet mark His patience, and how graciously He promised to redress the grievance.
I will rain bread from heaven--Israel, a type of the Church which is from above, and being under the conduct, government, and laws of heaven, received their food from heaven also ( Psalms 78:24 ).
that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no--The grand object of their being led into the wilderness was that they might receive a religious training directly under the eye of God; and the first lesson taught them was a constant dependence on God for their daily nourishment.
13-31. at even the quails came up, and covered the camp--This bird is of the gallinaceous kind [that is, relating to the order of heavy-bodied, largely terrestrial birds], resembling the red partridge, but not larger than the turtledove. They are found in certain seasons in the places through which the Israelites passed, being migratory birds, and they were probably brought to the camp by "a wind from the Lord" as on another occasion ( Numbers 11:31 ).
and in the morning . . . a small round thing . . . manna--There is a gum of the same name distilled in this desert region from the tamarisk, which is much prized by the natives, and preserved carefully by those who gather it. It is collected early in the morning, melts under the heat of the sun, and is congealed by the cold of night. In taste it is as sweet as honey, and has been supposed by distinguished travellers, from its whitish color, time, and place of its appearance, to be the manna on which the Israelites were fed: so that, according to the views of some, it was a production indigenous to the desert; according to others, there was a miracle, which consisted, however, only in the preternatural arrangements regarding its supply. But more recent and accurate examination has proved this gum of the tarfa-tree to be wanting in all the principal characteristics of the Scripture manna. It exudes only in small quantities, and not every year; it does not admit of being baked ( Numbers 11:8 ) or boiled ( Exodus 16:23 ). Though it may be exhaled by the heat and afterwards fall with the dew, it is a medicine, not food it is well known to the natives of the desert, while the Israelites were strangers to theirs; and in taste as well as in the appearance of double quantity on Friday, none on Sabbath, and in not breeding worms, it is essentially different from the manna furnished to the Israelites.
32-36. Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations--The mere fact of such a multitude being fed for forty years in the wilderness, where no food of any kind is to be obtained, will show the utter impossibility of their subsisting on a natural production of the kind and quantity as this tarfa-gum the purpose of removing all such groundless speculations, Aaron was commanded to put a sample of it in a pot--a golden pot ( Hebrews 9:4 )--to be laid before the Testimony, to be kept for future generations, that they might see the bread on which the Lord fed their fathers in the wilderness. But we have the bread of which that was merely typical ( 1 Corinthians 10:3 , John 6:32 ).

I'm looking for recommendations for wireless light switches similar to this or this. I'm currently rewiring a house, and would like not to have to run cables to switches in the walls as they are made of masonry. I've searched online but wireless light switches do not seem very common and it's hard to find a clear winner. Ideally, I would like a system that has about 5 - 10 different frequencies. If possible, I would like to be able to purchase them in the UK or Ireland, but that is less essential. asked Dec 31 '11 at 09:12 celenius |
Don't us X10 unless you have a fairly small house. It has trouble communicating over any distance and the signal is soaked up by most modern electronics. I wired my last house with it completely and had two circuits that I could never get to work right. It also requires special equipment to talk across phases in your house, and if you have a near neighbor who is using it they will interfere with each other. A better choice would be smart homes Insteon or multiple vendors Zwave equipment. These two web sites are a goo starting point. Smart Home: http://www.smarthome.com/_/index.aspx Zwave: http://www.z-wave.com/modules/ZwaveStart/ linkanswered Jan 08 '12 at 15:52 Rastrahouse |
X-10 as a protocol seems like a good choice. The quality of the switches is something to pay attention to. I would go with some of the more recognizable names (eg leviton, lutron). My first foray into x10 wireless was with a really el-cheapo brand, and I am not impressed with the quality. Also my cheap x10 light switches did not work well with either CFL bulbs or some of the first LED bulns that I bought. linkanswered Jan 05 '12 at 12:06 gordc |
The upgrade to X-10 is Insteon. Many of the devices communicate both wireline and wireless so it creates a very robust network. I use about 20 devices throughout my home (about 3000 sq ft), for switches, outlets, thermostat, etc. linkanswered Aug 10 '12 at 14:10 esemay |
I've used the x10 wireless switches... they're often white-labeled as store-brand automation (radio shack, home depot, etc), but they're all the same. The bonus is that you're not tied to using an in-wall switch, and can even control your setup with computer software. linkanswered Jan 05 '12 at 11:54 Dusty |
I've been very happy with the switches we have from Lightning Switch. Not only are they wireless, they require no batteries or electricity! Admittedly, they take some getting use to, but I wouldn't hesitate installing if/when I need additional switches. linkanswered Jan 06 '12 at 22:10 808dave |
sigh Anyone ever wonder what happened to these guys: http://www.flatwireready.com/products/electrical.html There's a whole story here for an aspiring journalist to run down for Wired. -C linkanswered Aug 13 '12 at 06:18 Christopher |
Check out http://www.enocean.com/en/home/ They are wireless, have great range and are also battery less switches which is a big plus. You can connect a Switch to any number of receivers, and each switch is unique. linkanswered Aug 23 '12 at 19:20 Patrick |

Eunice's party was quieter than usual but there were at least 40 people in and out. Most of the food was consume but there was enough left for Eunice and Steve to not have to cook for a few days.
We'll be going to lunch at Chip Shop for the best corned beef and cabbage in the world. On the 18th, we'll be going to the local parade. This year it should be especially nice because there will be marching units from Ireland that participated in the big parade in Manhattan the day before. The day after that is our 29th Wedding Anniversary. It will be a very pleasant and festive weekend.
Tonight, we'll have pea soup we made and froze a few weeks ago with a lovely loaf of onion bread and the remains of a bottle of wine we opened on Friday. It may not be Irish but it's tasty and it's naturally green.

Great shoes but
By lo

Great shoe but they do fit small. I should have ordered a half size up when it was avaiable.
sketchers bungee closure sneakers
By blue
from ajax, ontario
these open back sneakers are very light weight, comfortable and cute. the style and colours are very nice. I found the fit to be just fine for me and so easy to slip on with bare feet and go. they make your feet look smaller and give you a daintier look over other types of sneakers.
great shoes!
By KC
from Salmon Arm, BC
First these shoes were on sale. I read all the reviews and yes they are very comfortable, fit like a glove, lightweight and cute. I wear them around the house so have support on my feet all day. A great shoe and lived up to my expectations. As always great service from the Shopping Channel. Thank you!
Go Up A Half Size!!!
By 905lovestostamp
from Stoney Creek, Ontario
I love these extremely comfortable and very light slip-on sneakers. Wishing I bought another pair. But do go up a half size on these, they seem short in my regular size 7. But I do wear 7 1/2 occasionally and that would be better. That's my only issue with these. I tried the Go Walk and LOVE those, I've become a HUGE Skechers fan. The Go Walk are even washable in an automatic washer with the green bag that comes with some of the Go Walk shoes too, neat!!! And I love the colors in the Go Walk--I had to have the purple ones and bought those here on TSC too.
Love Sketchers
By Maxie42

These runners are great. So comfortable and are so light. I wish I had ordered another pair. My regular size 8 fit perfect.

The greatest in comfort
By foxy girl
from Edmonton AB
I have bought two pair of these slip ons two different times. They are the most comfortable shoe I have in my closet. The fit was perfect. I love wearing them with bare feet in the summer and are also great even in the colder weather.If you want a great shoe try this style, you will love it. They are good quality shoes.

New Favorite Brand
By Joanne
I started with the Go Walk shoes in March--FANTASTIC!!!, and the H2O Go are also amazing--surprisingly supple and a great fit. I am a big fan of slip-on and go shoes, and wanted something that would be good for taking walks around the neighborhood, and these are perfect for me. Like the other Skechers shoes I've bought, these are EXTREMELY light which is important for some pain issues. I love the little bit of sparkle on these--nothing too flashy, just a classy touch. I've become an enthusiastic Skechers fan in a matter of about 6 months. I've also bought the Skechers Rumblers sandals and LOVE them too. I guess you could say that Skechers is a new favorite brand. Considering I'm already an enthusiastic Orthaheel fan, TSC is becoming a first stop for buying shoes and sandals--thanks TSC!!! :)

So disappointed...
By Shell
from London ON
Went up half a size and glad I did. Purchased 3 pairs as a shoe stopper and at first glance was thrilled with them.However...they don't last and are wearing right out. I have short toe nails and I have holes where my big toes hit the inside. So very disappointed!All that aside, they are quite comfortable albeit too slippery to wear socks with, must be worn bare foot.

a name for my new kitty!!
So I just got my first cat yesterday. It's absolutely adorable! It's light grey and really fluffy with blue eyes. I'm a bit of a geek and an avid reader so I wanted to give her a kind of geeky/literary/different sort of name. I'm also a pianist so I thought maybe something musical. I can't make up my mind! I'm a HUGE fan of Sherlock and Supernatural, but names like Winchester, Castiel, Sherlock, or Watson don't really work for a female cat :( Anyway here's my list of favorite names so far. Please give me feedback on these or new suggestions!!
Bronte, Marlowe, Emerson, Keats, Darcy, Eyre, Thisbe, Eowyn, Peregrine nn Pippin
Everly, Lennon, Allegra, Echo
Clover, Mavis, Clementine, Beatrice

I agree that Beatrice is beyond cute for a little grey fluffball, as is Darcy.
Other names:
Singer (for Bobby Singer, and it's musical, though not instrumental I suppose)
Harvelle (for Ellen and Jo Harvelle, nn Harvy, Elle, Vella, Arvi, Arva... etc.)
Ash (another Supernatural one, also works because of her coloring, and he was a cool character)Considering...

It seems to me a sign posted for no tresspassing could be confusing to a place open to the public thus allow officers to act in ways that I or even the ACLU might find in violation of civil law, because it does not distinguish who or what is allowed or not on any property, just the fact that they are there. An on the other hand defines certain individuals already and both parties are notified and the law has clear boundaries regarding it. Any situation called into police on behalf of the state of unwanted individuals are already subject to law enforcement being called and followed up on.
Under the law, trespassing charges can only be pressed by the owner of the property or his officially designated representative. By getting those parties' signatures on a former agreement in advance, the cops have the authority to act on their behalf even if they are not present and cannot be immediately reached.
This has nothing to do with signs. During daytime hours, it has to do with a junior clerk having problems leading him to call the cops and the cops now having the authority to enforce trespass ordinances on the spot, without having to get an owner or manager to sign off.
It's really as simple as that. I don't see it's anything to get all that excited about. The police are simply reaching out to the business community to offer some streamlining enabling them to work together more smoothly and effectively.
Merchants hate to eject customers. This is reserved for their rare occasions when someone is raising a serious ruckus requiring action, and allowing that action to proceed a little more expeditiously.
Steve Bagwell, Managing Editor
My problem is monopoly, yes we need to give officers the power to do their job, but we do not need to give them the power to do someone elses.
No police state about it. It's 100 percent voluntary. They are just making the offer for those who choose to accept.
Free country, free will. You say yes or you say no.
Don't you find it interesting that for example if I pay for food at McDonalds and they short me and refuse to give me what I paid for, I can't call the police or I will be arrested, but if I steal food from McDonalds, I risk the chance of being arrested or at least citated and nobody that called the police on their end risk beign arrested?
Oppresion has many forms within our society, probably the biggest and least spoken is wealth and capital. to be fair McDonalds usually has a pretty good policy and will take the hit (if it is there) , why others might not. But my point is when you have lots of wealth you can get away with things, you can buy power, pay the police, understand you can take adevantage of people that can't afford to fight in court ... Smith VS Golf Course ring a bell?...If America falls, it will certainly be because ogf inequality of wealth through oppression like these things. you can have all the freedom you want, if you are able to pay for it.
If you have evidence of police brutality or corruption in McMinnville or Yamhill County I suggest you get the hard facts and evidence to Steve so he can put an article together that will sell papers and possibly get him a Pulitzer.
Perhaps Steve should do an article on the "Occupy" movement (lack of movement?) and then perhaps this conversation could take off in a proper forum.
In the mean time, the police are taking a proactive approach trying to help the community. If a person doesn't want to be arrested for trespassing, they shouldn't go onto someone else's property and make a big enough nuisance of themselves that the cops are called. Seems like a pretty simple concept to me.
then you are an idiot, because it isn't.
"expedited community service "
where did you get this?
Community service isn't serviced to those that can afford to pay for it? or maybe it is and that is the problem, I guess that is my point. There is nothing equal about something offered to only those that can afford it, compared to those that can't. But since you decided to chime in (weakly I might add).. Let's look at other problems that may not be related (consider it an education).. Speaking of education.. wealth distribution probably has the biggest effect on it, since most lowed education is funded with local bonds. Schools that are rich have better results then schools in poor areas. college is obvious - have money go.. don't have money don't.. Let's look at convictions - take measure 11. Public defender... 3 times more likely to be convicted of a measure 11 offense then a private lawyer.. Must pay to have money eh?... I could go on.. but I seriously doubt you are smart enough to grasp thw whole picture. you might to stick to coloring books I guess.
O"r you can call 503-224-2647 and ask for a lawyer. wink..
Dred Vs Scott was not about any perceived ( much less codified) right to 'Free Graze'
As you know Dred Scott was upheld that slaves did not have constiutional rights.
One could possibly make the case everyone has limits and rights now, it's just some are enforced and some aren't. But either way there is seperation there and growing because 10% owns 80% of all wealth (yet I prefer using the word assets) in our country.. This means that 90% own only 20%, so most people are probably paying interest that ends up in the hands of that 10%, or have nothing to show for their investments (Walmart) cheap junk that loses value the moment you walk out the store.. AND of course.. it is more likely a combo of both.
What this creates of course is political and social dominence in one form or another, that is why it is acceptable to most people what the police here are doing in this instance and yet (I doubtthe police seriously thought about it to see it, because it has become so socially acceptable).. Where does it stop if companies and business are allowed to own the world, the police, the government and even you and me to a point, through "special policies and rules"?
posted "person doesn't want to be arrested for trespassing, they shouldn't go onto someone else's property and make a big enough nuisance of themselves that the cops are called. Seems like a pretty simple concept to me."
I agree.
On the one hand, we face being held in bondage, brutally whipped and beaten, worked in the fields from dawn to dusk, sold like cattle. On the other, we have being asked to leave the premises of a shop we probably don't plan to ever set foot in again anyway, or face being cited for the minor misdemeanor hand-slapping offense of trespassing. And the latter can be done on the spot now if the manager or owner happens to either be present or readily reachable.
Well, I think we can agree on one thing. There is, indeed, a difference of scale — one about the size of the grand canyon, I'd say.
On the one hand, behold the mountain. On the other, the molehill, and I have to stretch to reach that.
Sorry, but I just don't see cause for concern here.
I thought the cop who cited the Latino teen for honking his horn downtown was totally out of line. That concerned me.
However, the system took care of it. He got his case tossed at no cost to him.
I trust the system to work. It fails me once in a while, but not very often. Wrongs usually get righted eventually, thanks to all of the checks and balances we enjoy in a free society.
Actually I would write it myself. Here is the deal. Accidents happen (even with police) when people have guns (including officers). what I stated is fact that the Dept of Justice (Eric Holder) notes an increase in police incidents with unlawful use of violence in the part of officers. My hope is that McMinnville doesn't have any. Yet I know I have seen illegal stops performed, and addressed them to the parties be. In the last year. I have covered police accidently shooting a home owner they thought was the bad guy, a cop's trial for beating a person to death who was just buying a candy bar, another officer shooting someone 8 times for not getting out of his car, a person shot 6 times for not dropping a knife fast enough while carving a piece of wood fyi.. he carved .. that is how he made a living, and I a person shot 15 times (survived somehow) after atetmpting to reach for a night light to see who was flashing a flash light at him while in bed. Anytime you have anyone with a weapon. You risk a life. My hope (yet not realsitic) is that we can see more appreciation for life.
you too?
Wow. I thought it was just my workplace.. wink..
I would agree this is a MUCH smaller scale we are addressing (you know me well enough.. to say okay "Troy is having a moment".. But.. for sake of satisfying "troy's moment".. it doesn't concern you that someone like comcast can ask us to pay a "tax" (which we do) so they can put in some cable somewhere. I'm concerned firguring most people are being squeezed tighter, thus those with money also have the power to influence services, taxses and laws.. I don't see business needing anymore protection then my neighbor does because they are "special"
(If in my shoes)
That I deal with life and death daily and insurance companies do things that can lead to death (and sometimes does to some). (but truthfully, I usually ignore them and lose money in the deal)..
Ask me how concerned I am when United Healthcare tells me a lifevest requires pre-auth and will take 10-14 days for something that is needed to "zap" a heart to keep them alive right now....?. so maybe I'm, a little more concerned about it than others from that standpoint, but I don't have the faith you do in our system, becauseit is called a capitalism (AdamSmith) did not envision this nightmare... It seems that money seems to have the most power of all in our system
I think it will eventually be settled, like you said, but not through check and balances but rather violence. (like history tends to show
I believe out of the 90+ rounds fired at that newspaper delivery girl (and her mom) down in California, only 1 hit the intended target
Silly person...
however one thing did stand out two officers shot the person 15 times for reaching for the night light. all other cases it was one officer. And one conviction of an officer for murderby the Feds. Spokane.. when he beat a person that eventually led to death. In all gun related incidents the officers never were charged. some were fired, but niot charged.
Only from the right..

My first experience with Yoplait Greek Yogurt was the Strawberry flavor, and it wasn't well received at all. Still, since it costs $1.00 - almost half the price of many of the other brands, I was willing to try, try and try again. This time, I picked Yoplait Key Lime Greek Yogurt to try.
This is not as thick as other Greek yogurts, and the key lime flavor is subtle, and it's more tart than sweet, especially after eating a few spoonfuls - but the flavor is not as good (in taste) as Dannon Light & Fit Key Lime Yogurt. In fact, it's quite unremarkable.
A serving of Yoplait Key Lime Greek Yogurt - 6 ounces - provides 160 calories, no fat, 20 grams of sugars and 14 grams of protein. So the same amount of calories and sugars as YoCrunch Greek Non-Fat Yogurt (Peach) Review, but 3 grams more protein - I like to compare the "Yo" yogurts. Both also cost $1.00.
The ingredients list includes, cultured pasteurized Grade A Nonfat milk, milk protein concentrate, sugar and contains less than 1% of corn starch, lime juice, Kosher gelatin, lemon juice concentrate, pectin, calcium citrate, natural flavor, turmeric extract (for color), vitamin A acetate, vitamin D3.
I wouldn't buy the Key Lime Yoplait Greek yogurt again - it's just not worth the 20 grams of sugars. Dannon Strawberry Greek Yogurt is a better choice.

Not overly impressed...
Just got the dress in the mail, hoping to flaunt for V-day with the Beau but I was not overly impressed with the dress much. Ordered the honeydew. I did not like that the chiffon did not go all the way on the back. Instead it is a flexible material for the back and the chiffon drapes around the dress only. I thought the side scoops on the dress were pockets but they're not. It's just where the chiffon drapes and creates two loops (one on each side) that shows the lining of the dress. I was not impressed with that at all. Overall, I did not like the way the dress looks at all. I think I should've ordered the black instead of the honeydew. At least you wouldn't be able to see the fake pockets that show the lining as much. I will be returning this dress. Disappointed that this is not my V-day dress and wasted time on it. I do not recommend unless you can go into the store and see for yourself if you like this style.
February 14, 2013
Really flattering and comfortable
This is a great dress. I am between xs and small but since this dress is stretchy i got the xs and it fits great. I bought the honeydew color. Now I am thinking of getting the black as well! Great dress I would recommend it.
February 7, 2013
Love It
This dress is so beautiful and the honeydew color is amazing. It is true to size. The fabric under the silk is a little stretchy which is freak. It's easy to move arou d in. I bought an xs and I'm 5 ft about 110lbs and have some curves. If you have really big hips I would try it on just in case. Love the dress.

I started potty training my daughter this week. The first 3 days i took her to the potty every 20 min,with no success. Ive noticed she actually would hold it and go in between breaks. the last 2 days i switched to every 40 min with no success. She actually embraces the whole idea but the problem is she just wont pee nor poop. I read books,sing and she ll stay sometimes like 10 min sitting there. Am i doing something wrong? does this mean she is not ready? Im considering letting her run butt naked and let the accidents do trick, then switching to underwear. Since i read that wearing Pull Ups just delays the learning. anyone have any suggestions??? thanks
We did the potty training bootcamp method. DD1 got to pick out her undies and her potty chairs (luckily she picked froggy potty which is the cheapest lol) and we told her that we weren't going to wear diapers during the day anymore. I stocked the house up on juice and pretzels, gummy treats, etc. She would get a couple gummy treats or a pretzel and also some juice every time she went on the potty. The first day we had lots of wet undies in the morning but we just changed them for nice dry ones and said "we'll try harder next time". By the afternoon she was peeing about every 20 minutes from all the juice she was drinking. The next day she was holding longer and longer and only had one or two accidents. And by the third day she was telling me when she needed to go potty instead of us watching her for the potty dance. Within a week she was holding every two hours or so. We had to keep up treats for number 2 for a very long time because she would withhold and was scared to poop at first for some reason.
I think it did help though that she would tell us she needed to pee and would pee on the toilet once or twice a day already.
Potty training can be frustrating for children as well as parents. Here are some great potty training ideas:
Hope that helps
I just trained my 2 year old son with great success. Here's what we did. I started when he was about 22 months and had him sit on the potty before the bath. We also took a little bath toy that holds water and would squeeze it into the toliet saying "pee, pee, pee" so he would get the idea of what was happening. After a few weeks of doing that (and him peeing before getting in the bath) I would try to catch him before he would poop. He would go and hide so I would try to nicely grab him and have him sit on the potty right at the moment. If he resisted, I tried to distract him by reading books and making it fun for him to sit. At first, he would only pee on the potty and only when I would bring him. Then gradually he would start telling us when he had to poop and sometimes go on the potty. Lastly, after about a month of that, we went cold turkey and put him in undies and brought him to the potty every 20 minutes. By then he knew the idea and understood. It only took a day and he was trained. But one very important thing, from the very beginning, every time he went on the potty (#1 or #2) he got to pick out a sticker and we cheered and gave high fives. So every time he would go, he would start talking about the sticker even before he would get off the potty.
The whole ordeal can be so stressful and if you stress your kid out it can backfire and then you're back in diapers. At the beginning, my son would only pee on the potty (not poop) and I actually asked a Clinical Psychologist about it (who happens to be my Mom) what to do. You can read Dr. Rutherford's suggestions here: http://ConversationsWithMyMother.com/potty-trainin

Various threads on this forum sometimes end up in a discussion of the apparent increasing difficulty of the game.
To be honest, I do actually think this is a problem - it's nice having hard sceanrios but if we just have had scenarios then we are going to alienate a lot of players, the sales will decrease and the game will stop. Personally, I think FFG need to start bringing out some easier scenarios, what do you think?
The current mean average Difficulty Number of the scenarios (not including the PoD expansions or the first Hobbit deluxe which came without difficulty numbers) is just over 5. If we drop the only 1 from the calcuations, the mean average is 5.3. That might not seem like much but I personally think it's quite telling. If we include the PoD expansions, the mean average leaps up to 5.4. Surely I'm not the only one who thinks all of these means are too high?
The mode average (the one that appears the most often), for those who are interested, is 7.
Seven?? Seriously?? C'mon … that's obviously too high, surely?
Now I know, I know, a lot of people say that the difficulty numbers aren't that reliable a guide. But I would still maintain that the game is pitched too high and alienates the less hardcore players. I have no problem with difficult scenarios but I would like some variety, too.

Free Entry - Entry Information
Rugged mountains, ravines, tumbling waterfalls, magnificent rainforest, rich and varied wildlife, easy access and a fascinating history make Barron Gorge National Park one of Queensland's most popular national parks. The park extends from the coastal lowlands to the elevated regions of the Atherton Tableland and lies within the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area.
... moreThe Barron River dominates the park. Rising from the rainforests of Mount Hypipamee National Park, the river winds 60 kilometres across the Atherton Tableland. The river then enters the deeply-incised Barron Gorge, between the Macalister and Lamb ranges. The river falls 250 metres onto the coastal lowlands and flows to the Coral Sea. During the wet season, floodwaters regularly create a spectacular sight at Barron Falls.
The park is part of the traditional lands of the Djabugandji Bama (local Aboriginal people) who maintain a close spiritual connection with this country. Before Europeans arrived, Bama traversed this country, developing trails linking the coast to the uplands. These historic trails now form sections of a walking track network.
Walk the network of walking trails including the elevated boardwalk to the lookout over the spectacular Barron Falls. Raft or canoe down the river or picnic at Lake Placid.

4 umbrellas, one bag and a thick skull. Place a paper bag over your head and the fun begins. First you jab an umbrella straight into your right ear and out the other side. Next you do the same with your left ear. Then you jab an umbrella straight up your nose and out the back of your head. Finally you impale your head like a skewer. Oddly enough, still alive, you remove the umbrellas one by one and show yourself unharmed. Can be made in under 20 minutes for under $20. Running Time: Approximately 20 minutes.

Betsy Border V Neck Lace Dress
Style # 214660
Elevated your evening style with a dose of always-sexy lace and seriously-bold color in this bebe dress. Try yours with a strappy sandal in a neutral hue for day glamour and metallics for evening style.
- 83% nylon, 17% spandex
- Dry clean
- Imported
- Center back to hem: 34" (86 cm)
- Lined
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
Betsy Border V-Neck Lace Dress
So, this was a bit tight, but I ordered a size down (XS) just because so many other stores tend to have larger sizing than advertised. Seriously, stick with the measurements in their size charts.
The fit is fabulous though (even though it's tight on me) - just enough stretch to be sexy, and the seaming is flattering.
I was afraid the color would be a bit too bold (i.e. tacky), but the lace actually makes it look nicer. It's still not a dress for brunch with grandma, but could go just fine even at a wedding.
June 6, 2013
Needs alterations
The lining of the dress is too big for the lace dress and bunches in the back. I tried it on in a Small and the Medium and both dresses did the same thing. I like everything else about the dress so I kept it but had to take it in to get alterations so that the dress did not bunch in the back.
May 29, 2013
Tight fitting and hot!
Great dress.... The orangey red color looks great with my tan skin. The perfect v that's not too low. I think it runs a lil big cuz i usually wear xs but the xxs fit better with this dress.

Not as simple as it looks!
I really loved this dress, particularly when I put it on. It looks like a very simple, standard lace overlay dress, but it's really very flattering. I ordered a small and medium (I'm right in between, so it depends on the dress) and I preferred the fit of the small a little more. Had I not ordered both sizes, I would have returned the medium as it was too large and much less flattering. Order down for a "going out" dress and order up for a summer day dress. The color is very true to the picture, maybe a smidgen more red, less coral. Keep in mind, it is dry clean only. For reference, I am 5' 7" and 135 pounds, 36B - S/M in dresses, 27/28 in denim.

I suggested in my blog following President Obama's Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship earlier this year that what we need now is for routine global ministerial level economic meetings to concentrate on policies that encourage the creation of new firms. As I depart Toronto where we have been gathering for the official G20 Young Entrepreneurs Summit I note at least one minister arriving having put his money where his mouth is for entrepreneurs - UK Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osbourne.
Brazil is more than just the popular future host of the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics. It is a very promising economy and the country of origin of many global challenger companies, such as Embraer, Marcopolo, and Natura. Economic analysts group the country with the most promising emerging markets, Russia, India and China, which together form the "BRIC countries." Is entrepreneurship responsible for part of Brazil's economic development? A look at some of the trends in entrepreneurship in Brazil suggests so, and the country's efforts to boost its culture of innovation and entrepreneurship promise to sustain its growth in the coming years.
Washington has been busy on several fronts important to entrepreneurs these past few months. One we must not forget to reflect on is the recent U.S. Senate approval of a bipartisan-sponsored amendment to the financial reform bill that protects against creating new barriers for high-growth entrepreneurs seeking to raise angel capital. This "Angel Amendment" addressed two of the original provisions in the bill that had the potential of creating regulatory obstacles for entrepreneurs raising angel financing and weakening the pool of angel capital by reducing the number of accredited angel investors.
President Obama has made it a priority to address one of America's greatest challenges, meeting energy demand in a sustainable way by transforming the ways we produce and consume energy. He assembled a team that could help him in this task, such as science adviser John Holdren, Energy Secretary Steven Chu and energy adviser Carol Browner. Congress in turn is working on climate change legislation that could foster a new wave of energy innovation. Senators John Kerry and Joe Lieberman have recently unveiled their new energy bill that would introduce fees on carbon emissions. Other recent developments in Washington have included entrepreneurs, which signals a government push to leverage their risk-taking behavior and the power of individual innovators.
Once again, entrepreneurial activity showed big in the United States. Last year was a tough year for entrepreneurs. We have experienced a deep recession, credit crunch and record unemployment rates. But although the odds were against them, new-business creation during the 2007-2009 recession years increased steadily year to year (e.g. 60,000 more starts per month in 2009 than in 2007) and 2009 became the year business startups reached their highest level in 14 years. The number of startups even exceeded the count during the peak of the 1999-2000 technology boom.
There has been a lot talk in the past year about job creation, entrepreneurship and economic recovery. Under the economic pressures, it became more important to than ever to examine closely how to unleash the entrepreneurial potential of various groups in society. We know for example that women are under-represented among business founders in high-tech and other high-growth fields despite their increasing participation in science and engineering. Fortunately, we are better prepared every day to inform policy. Today, I examine some of the most recent findings on the factors that affect the survival and growth of startups founded by women.
Having focused last month on efforts to further entrepreneurship abroad leading up to the global Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship, this week I wanted to focus squarely on the United States ahead of next month's Global Entrepreneurship Week Partners Forum convened at the Kauffman Foundation in Kansas City. Who are some of the leading players in 2010 driving America's startup culture and how does Global Entrepreneurship Week each November enable them to combine voices in underscoring to the American people how entrepreneurs built America?
The spirit of entrepreneurship was alive and well at last week's Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship. The White House took a political risk in hosting a summit on "global" entrepreneurship in a climate when so many Americans, anxious about their local economy, are easily blinded to the vital role entrepreneurs play in building the stable economies overseas essential to our growing firms back home. The summit though was a foreign policy success and a solid statement of support for the role all entrepreneurs play in creating jobs and economic growth.
This morning, President Obama addressed the Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship organized by the Department of State and the Department of Commerce following his promise in Cairo last June. The event is designed to promote entrepreneurship in Africa, the Middle East, and South, Central and Southeast Asia as a tool for economic and development policy and to fulfill the President's commitment to broaden and deepen ties between the United States and Muslim communities around the world.
Today, we start the seven day countdown for the Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship, and I want to take the opportunity to highlight a nation where entrepreneurship is starting to bloom: Malaysia. Although not yet a start-up economy, the desire for entrepreneurship and innovation are there, along with a growing number of public policies to support them-- a good recipe to put the economy on the entrepreneurial path.

You can forgive Timmy for his fashion faux-pas, which has lasted about a year and a half. He's young and he's allowed to look semi-atrocious. But he got a clue, starting on Friday when he decided that a long face (discussed previously here) is not, in fact, complimented by the long pants. So he joined Zito in the retro-club (and messing up his pitching by thinking too much. Thank you Barry. We appreciate your positive influence on our young pitchers. Actually, we love you anyway. You're on the Dreamy Team). The socks remind me of a carnival, a little bit, but they're better than their predecessors. Congratulations, Timmy.
Meanwhile, Mannywood has ended (who is crying, raise your hand?) and he has still not gotten a clue. The guy is 38 years old and a MLB veteran and he still wears his uni God-knows-how-many-sizes-too-big.
Whatever. It's just Manny Being Manny, right? ::Diamond Girl bangs head against wall::

ESG Case Study
Efficient HVAC technologies identified in the 6th Power Plan are still the single largest relatively untapped source of savings in the commercial sector. Highly variable savings profiles across diverse building types and uses characterize commercial HVAC measures, many of which have historically only been available as custom projects. Recognizing the critical role of these measures in achieving regional efficiency targets, BPA has been adding measures and working on improving processes and program offerings that will support utilities in capturing higher volumes of HVAC savings.
HVAC Program Details
Commercial Shell Measures
BPA is working to develop a more robust commercial shell measure offering. Currently BPA offers reimbursement for one new BPA Qualified measure for small commercial window retrofits. BPA is working on improved program structures that will support utilities in capturing commercial building shell opportunities.

The World Health Organization says: "Beyond the immediate benefits for children, breastfeeding contributes to a lifetime of good health. Adults who were breastfed as babies often have lower blood pressure and lower cholesterol, as well as lower rates of overweight, obesity and type-2 diabetes. There is evidence that people who were breastfed perform better in intelligence tests."
Many breastfeeding mothers looking for support from a professionally trained person have found a lactation consultant to be just what they needed. Christine Sneed of Cleveland recently achieved the distinction as an international board certified lactation consultant, which represents the highest standard in lactation consultant credentialing.
As such, she work together with mothers to prevent and solve breastfeeding problems, collaborate with members of the health care profession to provide comprehensive care that protects, promotes and supports breastfeeding and encourage a social environment that supports breastfeeding families, and educates families, health professionals and policy makers about the far-reaching and long-lasting value of breastfeeding as a global public health imperative.
Sneed, who has worked for 11 years as a certified lactate educator at LifeCircle Women's Healthcare, said, "I chose to get certified because I had been working as a CLE for many years and I wanted to attain the gold standard of lactation by obtaining IBCLC status. That would mean in addition to educating I would also do consultations as part of a patient's healthcare team.
"Our immediate area had very few experts of that caliber and patients have trouble finding the support they need to meet the World Health Organization and American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendations for breastfeeding for the first six months. As an educator I could only give support and education, but as a consultant, I could help them with their individual challenges in a more comprehensive manner."
According to Sneed, educators may help someone know where to find helpful information and even help with basic positioning, but as a board-certified consultant, she said, "I find my days filled with treating mothers that face challenges such as low milk supply, tongue tie, breast infections, clogged ducts, infants with special needs. As an international board certified lactation consultant I can provide expert breastfeeding and lactation care, promote changes that support breastfeeding and help reduce the risks of not breastfeeding."
LifeCircle Women's Healthcare has the "first freestanding lactation clinic in the area," Sneed said. She can be contacted 24/7 by phone or text. She can also help to diagnose signs of a breast infection and offer recommendations as well as address milk production issues.
"The World Health Organization and the American Academy of Pediatrics both recommend that for optimal health of mother and baby, a woman should exclusively breastfeed for six months and continue up to 24 months," Sneed said. "Women deserve to know the risks of not breastfeeding and the benefits of breastfeeding. The Surgeon General Call To Action said babies should be exclusively breastfed for the first six months and if 90 percent of American women would do so, they would save the government $13 billion in healthcare expenses."
While human milk is specially designed for human babies, containing antibodies to make a strong immune system and components to develop brain cells, baby formula is a mixture of chemicals and alteration of cow's milk or soy to make it possible for infant consumption. Experts say it will never be as perfect a food for babies as their own mother's milk.
Sneed explained why she is such an advocate for breastfeeding, admitting, "I have a very personal reason why this subject is so near and dear to my heart. I was born without IGA or Immunoglobulin A deficiency, which is a vital part of the immune system that is like the first line of defense to the mucosal lining of the intestine, lungs, sinuses etc. I had a doctor at the Mayo Clinic tell me if I had been breastfed — all the infections and autoimmune conditions I have would have been prevented because I would have gotten what I needed from my mother's colostrum (the first breastfed milk babies get when they nurse, and which is said to be rich in antibodies and immunoglobulin A.)
After confirming the doctor's findings, Sneed said, "I decided that I needed to make sure mothers were aware of the long-term health benefits for their babies and themselves. Since that time I have learned more amazing benefits of breastfeeding on society as a whole. I just can't hide my passion about how wonderfully made we are. Lactation is a medical field in itself and I love being able to share this knowledge with medical professionals who work closely with moms and babies in our community so that we can work together as a team for the health and well-being of our community."
Once she became a board certified lactation consultant, Sneed opened a freestanding Lactation Clinic to help mothers by using techniques to overcome breastfeeding challenges.
"When we know better, we do better!" Sneed said. "There are several studies on breastfeeding that come out every year. I realize I am only one woman, but there are many women who need assistance in the area. In order to help all of these women, our area will need more certified lactation educators to accomplish the surgeon general's call to action and have 90 percent of women breastfeeding. I am doing everything in my power to assist as many mothers now, but I also do Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association CLE trainings to produce more Certified Lactation Educators in this area. I feel the more help there is available to mothers, the higher the possibility that more mothers will reach the goal of breastfeeding exclusively for six months and continue up to 24 months."
Sneed quoted from the new health insurance reform legislation passed by Congress and signed into law by President Obama in 2010, stating the new Affordable Healthcare Act says, "Pregnant and postpartum women will have access to comprehensive lactation support and counseling from trained providers, as well as breastfeeding equipment. Breastfeeding is one of the most effective preventative measures mothers can take to protect their health and that of their children."
Sneed said, "Parents need to know that they no longer have to feel alone or unable to face any challenges they have with breastfeeding. They now have the highest level of qualification for a lactation consultant just a call away."
A free breastfeeding support group is held the second Saturday of each month at 10 a.m. at LifeCircle. A free breastfeeding class is the third Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. for patients of LifeCircle. On Feb. 22-24, Sneed will teach a special Certified Lactation Educator Training course at LifeCircle Women's Healthcare from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. This CLE class is not free.
"This course is perfectly suited for anyone who works with prenatal or postpartum moms," Sneed said. "The maternal/child professional as well as the community volunteer will benefit from this well-rounded breastfeeding education course. Participants will learn to build confidence and skills in lactation education."
For further information, visit www.LatchOntoLactationEducation.com or call Christine Sneed at 423-284-9008. LifeCircle Women's Healthcare is located at 2301 North Ocoee St.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is an American sitcom that began airing on FX on August 4, 2005, created by Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton, and Charlie Day. 94 episodes have aired over eight seasons and an 9th season airs on FXX starting September 2013.
On the most basic level, the show is about a group of friends who run Paddy's Pub in Philadelphia. But it's much more than that - "the gang" takes on social and political issues in their own deprived way, often to awkwardly disastrous results. Their warped antics and narcissistic points of view get them in trouble with rival bars, family members, other Philadelphians, gangs, drug lords, and the authorities.
The gang is composed of the egotistical Mac who never misses an opportunity to stop an injustice; the illiterate Charlie whose undying obsession with a local waitress never steers him right; the eternally vain Dennis who never misses an opportunity to bang; his sister Dee whose pursuit for fame and acceptance has yet to succeed, and their father Frank who, after getting divorced, decides to throw caution to the wind and live without inhibitions.
The It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Wiki was founded by Sunny fans just like you. We're working on building a comprehensive It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode guide, detailed information from episodes of all the hilarious seasons, quotes archives and image galleries of the gang's brainless hijinks, as well as in-depth articles about the great minds who bring Sunny into your lives. We also have plenty of random and hilarious articles about anything from Greenman to Night Crawlers. There's plenty laughs to be found - poke around and have some fun! Don't forget - this is a wiki, so everything is editable.
Season 10 will air January 2015
"The Gang Squashes Their Beefs" aired Nov 6, 2013
- When some bad blood with old foes compromises their ideal Thanksgiving, the gang decides to make amends by breaking bread with those they've hurt.
You can watch your favorite episodes in a variety of ways: buy or rent DVDs, download episodes from iTunes or Amazon, or stream from Hulu. Anyone can find reruns of Always Sunny - as it is a stroke of comedic brilliance on television.
Join our Live Chats every Wednesday night during Season 9 to talk about the show with other die-hard Sunny fans. We shall discuss The Gang and their antics before, during, and after each new episode. Click here to join us.

The response was filed in the court of Senior Judge Glen Davidson of the U.S. District Court for Northern Mississippi.
According to the DOJ's argument filed on Friday, "the District relies on a supplemental report by a nonlawyer expert, Dr. Christine Rossell, that is not grounded in the particular facts of this case and repeats what Dr. Rossell has already submitted to the court."
In the school district's response, filed with court on Oct. 3, Dr. Christine Rossell's expert opinion was sought to combat U.S. arguments filed in August that the district proposed plan to introduce "magnet" programs at both East Side High School and D.M. Smith Middle School to help attract white students from Cleveland High School and Margaret Green Jr. High was an unacceptable solution to the segregation problem.
Rossell is a professor of political science at Boston University and author of numerous books including "School Desegregation in the 21st Century," "Bilingual Education in Massachusetts" and "The Carrot and the Stick for School Desegregation.
Prior to her Oct. 3 report, Rossell had filled other documents with the court in this case on two separate occasions.
"The Cleveland School District abandons any pretense of defending the legality of its proposed plan to integrate East Side High School and D.M. Smith Middle School," said Felicia Adams, United States Attorney.
Adams added that the argument, or report, filed by the district is "procedurally improper, prejudicial, and seeks to justify the proposed plan almost exclusively on policy grounds."
"The district fails to add its own brief to address the legal shortcomings of its magnet programs already recognized by the court in its March 28, 2012, opinion," said Adams. "Dr. Rossell's report constitutes the district's only response to the United States' clear legal arguments challenging the district's proposal to repeat a failed magnet school approach."
Adams also pointed out that the district was directed to submit a desegregation plan to the United States for its review by May 15, 2012.
"The order further specified that the United States, if unable to resolve disagreements with the district within 30 days, would file objections to the proposed plan within an additional 20 days," said Adams. "The United States promptly notified the district of its objections to the plan."
The school district then requested that the United States delay filing objections until after the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year, by which time it would provide further data and information in support of its plan.
"Unfortunately, the only additional information ultimately produced by the district in purported support of its plan was a single page of data listing enrollment statistics for certain courses at East Side High School open to Cleveland High School students, as well as a one-paragraph e-mail from the district's counsel providing follow-up information on that data," Adams added.
Still the DOJ filed its objections and on Sept. 12 the school district asked the court for additional time to confer and file its response to the objections.
"In the motion, the district represented to the court that it would use the additional time to 'continue to confer with the United States about its objections to the district's plan,' and, in the event the parties failed to agree on a plan, to file a response to the United States' objections," she continued.
"Except for a short telephone call with the district's counsel, during which the district's counsel repeated that the district wished to confer further on its plan, the district never initiated any such follow-up conversations with the United States," Adams said. "Instead, it evidently used its newly-allotted time to ask Dr. Rossell, yet again, to prepare another supplemental report."
Jacks, Adams & Norquist P.A. of Cleveland and Adams and Reese P.A. of Ridgeland are listed as attorneys for the Cleveland School District.
All attempts to contact Cleveland School District Attorney Jamie Jacks were unsuccessful.
In her filed response, Adams boldly said that the court should reject Cleveland's response because "it is merely an untimely expert report offering little new information."
"In sum, the district's response badly misses the mark, and offers little to suggest that its 'more of the same' approach in the proposed plan will work," Adams concluded. "For these reasons the United States respectfully requests that the court reject the portion of the proposed plan addressing the integration of East Side and D.M. Smith, and either order, or direct the district to devise, a new plan that ensures East Side and D.M. Smith will be fully integrated by the beginning of the 2013-2014 school year."
The Bolivar Commercial will have more on this case when the court's decision is made available.
