HAMILTON — Vicki Steele no longer feels like the Bitterroot Valley is on a freefall toward the bottom of the barrel.
The workforce consultant and business advocate with the Bitterroot Job Service has seen the number of jobs being offered by local companies spin around in the right direction.
"I think things are slowly beginning to turn around here," Steele said. "There is no question about that. We have kind of hit the bottom of the barrel and we're headed back the other way. Our job seekers are finding a way to get back to work. Some have taken advantage of opportunities to be retrained and others have found work in their chosen fields."
The service's job board typically has been holding steady during the past few months at 90 to 100 job openings.
That's nearly double what it showed just a few years ago.
"During the worst of it, it got as low as 15 to 20 job openings," Steele said. "That was very, very scary. There were so many people looking for work back then."
In the past few years, the board typically averaged 50 to 60 jobs this time of year.
"I think the fact that we have so many employers looking for people right now is a ray of hope for the future," she said. "We know there is no overnight fix for this."
There are still plenty of challenges ahead for the Bitterroot Valley.
The empty storefronts scattered throughout downtown Hamilton have Bitterroot Valley Chamber of Commerce director Al Mitchell concerned.
"We all know that the job market is improving statewide, but locally we have some mixed signals," Mitchell said. "Main Street is struggling right now and that has to do with people choosing not to stay and shop here. There are a lot of dollars flying right out of the valley. Our hope is that we can find a way to convince people to try shopping here first."
The city of Hamilton is considering setting aside funds to conduct a study that would eventually create a master plan for the downtown area. The study would consider the current mix of businesses with an eye toward looking for ways to make the downtown more attractive to both locals and visitors.
"Over the past few years, we've put a lot money into our parks in Hamilton," said Mitchell, who also serves on the city council. "We want to now concentrate our efforts on downtown to see what we can accomplish there. I think a lot of it right now is an attitude problem. We want to get the message out there that we're open for business."
The housing market in the Bitterroot has been on the upswing this past year. The average sales price of a home was $223,222 in the first three quarters of the year. That was up from $197,819 the year before.
The inventory of homes at the lower price levels is getting tight.
"The really low and best sales deals are gone," said longtime Bitterroot Valley appraiser Darwin Ernst. "The property owners who are left get to sell their properties at something closer to what the home's market value really is."
There were 357 sales of residential homes on 40 acres or less through Sept. 30 this year. Of that number, 73 were owned by banks or the government.
In the same period last year, there were 318 sales, of which 105 were bank or government owned.
Ernst said there is still a year-and-a-half surplus of homes on the market in the Bitterroot Valley, which will keep prices in check.
Julie Foster, director of the Ravalli County Economic Development Authority, said this year just feels different to her.
"It seems like the last three years everyone was just working on staying in business and doing what they had to to make that happen," Foster said. "Now people are starting to hire some new employees. They are doing a little bit of expansion and some capital improvements."
"I think there's been some new business that flowed in under the radar screen of most people here in the valley," she said.
And there has been some community activity to promote new business opportunities as they become available. As a prime example, Foster points to Stevensville, where a $5 million water and sewer infrastructure improvement project is helping businesses expand and increasing the potential for new ones to locate there. The project is scheduled for completion this year.
"Stevensville should be really proud. Once you get that kind of infrastructure completed, people will come and locate there. If you don't have it, people move away," Foster said. "What it comes down to is, if a community waits until an opportunity is looking it in the eye, then you don't have time to build the infrastructure. At some point, any community that wants to grow has to have the vision and agree that some things need to happen. Stevensville has gone and done that."
The local businesses that have weathered the storm are stronger for it.
"They are those companies that have this knowledge that they've built over time," Foster said.
"Companies like Cooper Firearms and Lakeland Feed survived because of their attention to quality that has allowed them to get customers that others can't easily get. Those customers will be hard for others to take away. There are businesses out there that have a lower threshold and it's easier to take their piece of the pie."

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Minnie!
Facts about Minnie
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Minnie's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Mickey and Minnie are so similar in looks that it's hard to tell them apart at first. Minnie is a little more hesitant at first but warms up quickly. She loves her toys and rough and tumble play with her brother.
Other Pets at Forgotten Cats, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Minnie, a Jenkintown Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Jenkintown, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Jenkintown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Jenkintown already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Jenkintown breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Jenkintown paves the way for another one to be saved.

Even in the midst of headlining 40+ music festivals with the reunited OutKast, Big Boi and Andre 3000 both have new solo albums coming this year according to Revolt TV. And in the lead-up to Big Boi's follow-up to 2012′s Vicious Lies And Dangerous Rumors, he's releasing a series of mashups repurposing some of his old solo and OutKast verses. The most recent is Organized Noize producer Ray Murray's "CPU 2.0," which crossbreeds Big Boi's Phantogram collab "CPU" with Sade's "Nothing Can Come Between Us." The result is way funkier and more old-fashioned than the sleek and digital original. Download via Hypetrak below, where you can also find the first mashup (a blend of "Thom Pettie" with Yarbrough & Peoples' "Don't Waste Your Time") plus footage of Big Boi's interview confirming the solo album.
Big Boi's third LP is due out this year via Purple Ribbon/Def Jam.

- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups (16 fl oz) low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 cups coarsely chopped watercress (1 large bunch)
Simmer potato, onion, broth, and cream, uncovered, in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan until vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in watercress and cook mixture, uncovered, over moderately low heat 3 minutes more.
Purée soup in 2 batches in a blender until very smooth, about 45 seconds per batch (use caution when blending hot liquids).

Are they maybe splash blocks? Those are the things that lie on the ground to deflect the force of water pouring out of the gutters. If that's what they are, you need them to keep your soil from eroding. |
i think that's what they are.yeah i have some under the pipes to prevent erosion but otherwise i have some extra which are lying just like that.so if someone could use them that would be great rema |

Behind the Scenes Head to Head Postmodern Riff Many of us enter into the discussion concerning technology and pedagogy from different doorways. I would not describe myself as a technology enthusiast, although I am very interested in playing with the equipment and the ideas, and I have a deep interest in what we do in our writing classrooms as we attempt to connect with our students. For me the intersection between technology and pedagogy highlights what is most exciting, energizing, and sexy about the writing classroom. |

Document Type Doctoral Thesis Author Mentz, Wilma Henriette URN etd-11112003-155702 Document Title Tolerance of selected crops to gypsiferous water originating in coal mines Degree PhD (Plant Production and Soil Science) Department Plant Production and Soil Science Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof R O Barnard Keywords
- crops
- gypsiferous water
- coal mines
- salt tolerance
- cultivars
- growth stages
- pastures
Date 2001-01-21 Availability unrestricted Abstract The disposal of gypsiferous water, generated in coal mining operations, has become a problem in the Mpumalanga Highveld region in South Africa. As part of an investigation into the feasibility of using this water for irrigation, sand and water culture experiments were conducted in a glasshouse and growth chambers to determine growth responses of maize, sorghum, pearl millet, sunflower, soybean, cowpea, dry bean, wheat, rye, triticale, oats, barley, annual ryegrass, and lucerne cultivars to gypsiferous mine water in the germination, seedling and vegetative growth stages. Germination %'s were generally not affected. The seedling growth of maize, sorghum, pearl millet and lucerne was more sensitive and showed more significant cultivar differences than the seedling growth of soybean and the annual temperate crops. Seedling growth curves with increasing concentrations of Ca, Mg and SO4 followed a similar pattern for most of the crops: where CaSO4 was in solution, growth decreased in a linear manner, but above saturation concentrations with increasing gypsum crystal content, it increased despite decreasing osmotic potentials of the treatment solutions. The vegetative growth of sunflower, lucerne, dry bean and rye was more tolerant than seedling growth, but was more sensitive for maize and cowpea, and the same as seedling growth for sorghum, pearl millet, wheat, oats, triticale and annual ryegrass. It was concluded that the major property of this water that suppressed growth was the decreased osmotic potential. However, it is the 'effective' osmotic potential (i.e., the average osmotic potential during the whole growth period) and not that of the treatment solutions, that was mainly responsible for the eventual growth. The 'effective osmotic potential' is determined by evapotranspiration and the rapidity of gypsum precipitation, which in turn may be affected by the growth rate, temporal, environmental and soil factors. Sensitivity of crops and growth stages is therefore related to its sensitivity to the external osmotic potential, whereas tolerance both in the seedling and vegetative growth stages was found in crops primarily affected by the ionic effects of Na and/or Cl. Possible nutrient effects due to the high Ca and SO4 need further investigation. Files

'Hymen National' screened at MedFilm Festival
Controversial documentary "Hymen National" is among the Tunisian movies being honoured in Rome this week at the MedFilm Festival, ANSA reported on Wednesday (November 23rd).
"I crossed the country from the north to the south without any official authorisation and met many women, as well as men, who decided to tell their stories in front of the camera," Tunisian director Jamel Mokni said about his 2010 film, which spotlights the taboo topic of virginity restoration surgery.
The director, who ran for a Constituent Assembly seat in the recent Tunisian elections, also discussed politics, telling ANSA: "The thermometer of the revolution is women and their rights."
"The population voted in favour of Ennahda," he said. "It will be women who will pay the price."
Tunisia is "Guest of Honour" at MedFilm Festival 2011, which runs through November 27th.

Cute Kid Alert: T.I. & The Harris Family Channel The Cosbys, And Bow Wow And His Daughter Are Twins
Bow Wow's daughter, Shai, and the Harris family aren't the only ones getting cute this week. Thought I'd share this photo of Isabella Freeman, the daughter of "My Wife and Kids" star Jennifer Freeman and her ex-husband, Earl Watson. The cutie patootie was spotted shopping at Whole Foods in her denim jumpsuit, pink sandals, and huge floral headband. And my eyes could be tweaking, but I think she's pushing around a child-size cart. Isn't she adorable?
Speaking of adorable kids, Bow Wow (who received a lot of heat last week for child support issues and his financial situation) and Joie Chavis's daughter, Shai, was seen having fun with her grandmother, Teresa Caldwell, this past weekend The little one in her floral dress and bow headband was in vogue with her granny, and Teresa even put her pic side-to-side with her son's baby picture. As she says: "The same face." I can see it!
And T.I in his brightest sweater, Tiny and their large family got together for a photoshoot with InTouch where they channeled the Cosbys. With the exception of Zonnique of course, T.I's genes are very strong in these kids. Did they do the Cosby's justice?

Willcom, a Japanese handset maker, has decided that its best way to compete with the likes of Apple and Samsung in the cellphone race was not to outperform them in terms of technology, but outdo them by way of gimmickry as with the latest Phone Strap 2. Touted as the smallest and lightest handset in the world, the Phone Strap 2 looks like a toy.
No more than two inches tall, the Phone Strap 2 is basically the same size as a box of Tic Tacs. To accommodate this radically small size, it boasts a ultra-compact one-inch display and a retractable antenna. A limited edition of 12,000 units will be available towards the end of March.

Fifty Shades of Grey is not only making it's way being popular as the best erotica series, but is now the cause of a sex toy revolution! For those of you who have read the books, you may remember the silver balls that Christian Grey frequently had a hand. Check out the details below of how the sex toy market is booming with these.
The sultry bestseller "Fifty Shades of Grey" is causing a boom in the sex toy market — in fact, a company that specializes in vaginal exercise balls says it's sold a record number of hoo-ha doodads in the last month … all thanks to the book.
A rep for the sex toy company called Fun Factory just sent a thank you letter to "Fifty Shades" publisher Vintage Books, writing, "In the last month, our Smart Balls sales have gone up 300%."
Must Read!: Fifty Shades Of Grey Trilogy
Twilight For Adults: Mommy Has Been Reading Fifty Shades Of Grey
In case you haven't read the book — the main character Christian Grey uses a pair of Kegel exercise doohickeys called Ben-Wa balls on his female sex slave (for those with the book, skip to page 362).
The rep writes,
"Thanks to the book, we are getting emails and calls from around the world asking about our Smart Balls … Yesterday, the Fun Factory office received an email from a 74-year-old woman in Dubai who read the book while vacationing in the USA."

Does your weight change between the poles and the equator?
Hi. I'm M--- S----, a seventh grade student in Washington. I had this question: The earth is spinning, so there is more centrifugal force towards the equator of the earth than the north pole, because the middle of the earth is spinning faster. So if you lived on the equator wouldn't you weigh less than some one who lived on the north pole,beacause there is more force trying to pull you away from earth? Thanks for your time and effort. I really appreciate it.
You are right, that because of centripetal acceleration you will weigh a tiny amount less at the equator than at the poles. Try not to think of centripetal acceleration as a force though; what's really going on is that objects which are in motion like to go in a straight line and so it takes some force to make them go round in a circle. So some of the force of gravity is being used to make you go round in a circle at the equator (instead of flying off into space) while at the pole this is not needed. The centripetal acceleration at the equator is given by 4 times pi squared times the radius of the Earth divided by the period of rotation squared (4*pi2*r/T2). The period of rotation is 24 hours (or 86400 seconds) and the radius of the Earth is about 6400 km. This means that the centripetal acceletation at the equator is about 0.03 m/s2 (metres per seconds squared). Compare this to the acceleration due to gravity which is about 10 m/s2 and you can see how tiny an effect this is - you would weigh about 0.3% less at the equator than at the poles!
There is an additional effect due to the oblateness of the Earth. The Earth is not exactly spherical but rather is a little bit like a "squashed" sphere, with the radius at the equator slightly larger than the radius at the poles (this shape can be explained by the effect of centripetal acceleration on the material that makes up the Earth, exactly as described above). This has the effect of slightly increasing your weight at the poles (since you are close to the centre of the Earth and the gravitational force depends on distance) and slightly decreasing it at the equator.
Taking into account both of the above effects, the gravitational acceleration is 9.78 m/s2 at the equator and 9.83 m/s2 at the poles, so you weigh about 0.5% more at the poles than at the equator.

Ten most fantastic film worlds of Dennis Quaid
The Old West
The Old West lies at the heart of American imagination, and naturally Quaid is right at home there. He's made several visits to the wellspring of American myth, playing famous characters such as Sam Houston and Doc Holliday in forgettable trash (The Alamo and Wyatt Earp, respectively) and the much less famous Ed Miller in the unjustly forgotten gem The Long Riders. Suffice it to say, he looks right at home on horseback, armed with a six shooter.

Fort Massac Encampment
The 41st Annual Fort Massac Encampment
October 18-19, 2014
See what life was like back in the 1700s and early 1800s at Fort Massac State Park's 41st annual Fort Massac Encampment, which will be held at the historic site Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 19 and 20th.
The 2014 Encampment will feature the thunderous boom of cannons and a tempting assortment of foods and activities from which to choose. It is more than an old-timey crafts fair, as it pays tribute to Illinois' rich frontier history. Historical re-enactors and skilled craftspeople representing French, British and Americans gather at the Encampment to demonstrate the skills and lifestyles of early residents in this area.
Visitors to the two-day event view military camps and buck skinner lodges, craft stalls and trade blankets, and booths with period food and drinks. Battle re-enactments will again be held in the valley area, which Fort Massac Site Superintendent Terry Johnson says gives spectators the best view of the battle. The crowds will be able to watch the authentically-garbed troops face off in the Battle of Drouillard Creek.

4:30 pm: Military Retreat Closing Ceremony at forts
The people and activities of the Encampment give a general picture of the area from roughly 1750 to the early 1800s. Included are colorful sights, tantalizing smells, fabulous tastes and stirring music.
Participants in the Encampment include French, British, Colonial, Spanish and other military units; buck skinners and traders who dealt in the exploration and fur trade of the early territory; Native Americans; music groups; crafters and food vendors; and others. Re-enactor groups represent different time periods and areas in early Illinois history, and all groups that camp stay in tents or teepees that are historically accurate for the time period and people represented by that group.
Military re-enactors camping, set up camps using materials and techniques of the 18th century, and authentically uniformed troops engage in mock battles and tactical demonstrations each day. The battles do not portray any specific battle — none of the French, British or American soldiers actually stationed at the fort ever saw real battle there. The battles do depict how a typical battle of those times between French, British and Colonial troops and their Indian allies might have looked.
Visitors can watch a spinner turn carded wool into fine thread and a leatherworker create sturdy moccasins from a blank span of leather. The blacksmith's forge is easy to find — just listen for the clang of hammer on anvil.
Keeping company in the air with the fragrance of herbs and dried flowers is the music of many instruments. The melodies of dulcimer, hammer dulcimer, recorder and flute blend with sweet voices to sing songs of days long gone. Bagpipes, fifes and drums join voices to lift hearts and stir imaginations with Revolutionary War music. Guests can watch as uniformed troops march to the same music once played on the ground where the guests now stand.
For those who find that lively music, crisp autumn leaves and the smell of wood smoke from cooking fires have sharpened their appetites, the problem is not finding something to eat but deciding what to choose. From ham and beans, barbecue, pies, cookies and caramel-covered apples, to lemonade and root beer, there is something to please every palate.
During the Encampment, children get their own special activities, too. Each year offers something different. Past years have included storytellers, like Mother Goose, with folktales and legends as well as face painting, a juggler and a magic show.

The Window Cleaner
A short muisc video based on the classic song "The Window Cleaner" sung by George Formby
4.40 / 5.00 6,206 ViewsPLEASE READ BEFORE WATCHING: Due to extreme clipping, I've been forced to turn the volume of the music down quite a lot. Because of this, you might want to turn your speakers's volume up for the best experience (there's a sound effect in the beginning that is quite loud, though, but after that there's just low-volume music).
A story about death, told through drawings and music.
This is a collaboration between myself (RandomStar) and a friend of mine (PLaU). I came up with the story, directed the drawings, composed original music and put the whole thing together in flash, while PLaU did the drawings. It has been in the works longer than I think any of us are willing to admit, but the final result is here now and I hope you will enjoy it!
This flash has truly been a bitch to make; everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. This includes symbols being swapped or appearing where they're not supposed to be, movie lagging seemingly without reason, music clipping and ultimately forcing me to decrease the quality of it, filesize becoming HUGE which led to a lot of compressing before I finally managed to get it below 10 MB, and flash has overall not been cooperating with me at all. But it's done now, and even though technical problems has made the final result not as good as I had hoped, I'm glad it's done.
Also, if you vote, I'd appreciate if you'd take some time to review it as well, I do read all reviews and probably will respond to all too. Thank you :)
If there was something to be said it would be this
The animation, or rather fine artwork, pencil and pen, hand drawn it take it, was superb and was very well reusable. You did not have to make a different picture for every second as most people. The music was divine, and it went really well with the flow of the story. It was slow, but intensified over time to follow the story. The music itself was touching but the part that really got me is when he pretty much said im not here for you, but your child. That made me feel miserable, as this movie should. I see no way that I could score you less, than a 10.
Wow, that's quite a review, thank you very much! :D Nothing could make us happier than to know we actually managed to touch people emotionally with our work, we're very glad you liked it!
It was deep
Deeper then a lot of these tools think, thanks for stickin it out through the problems
Deep indeed. And I'm glad I did finish it despite the trouble.
Very Well Done
I enjoyed the detail of the art (I belive it's pencil?) and the great use of the Ken Burns effect. It gives a great feeling of sympathy for the poor mother as she loses her newborn.I did notice that in a couple of scenes you decided to reuse certain drawings to complete the plot. I also noticed that the first drawing of the reaper differed from the rest of your drawings mainly in the face/hood.
Overall, I enjoyed this. It brought me back to High School Television Productions Class. I would enjoy seeing more films like this, it seems to suit your skills well. Some advice is that you could use a little less detail for less important aspects. Might help with that file size. I might also suggest that you create a character on a seperate sheet of paper, giving you a chance to iron out the details.
8/10 and 4/5
Thank you for the kind words and advice, if we ever make another film in this style we'll be sure to consider it!
Yeah, rated it 5/5, cause i like your style of using drawings, no voices and using music as a key component to tell the story. (yes, i know you can't animate). The story also tells itself just through the picture, so anyone would understand it.
Thank you kind sir! :D Originally there was meant to be dialouge cause I didn't think the story would be clear enough without it, but turns out it worked just fine anyway, PLaU is really talented, being able to tell the story through her drawings alone.
Nice drawing style,... now if only you could animate them and give them more life. Story was a little predictable but ok...
Haha, funny you should say that, the first reason why we decided to publish this as a still picture movie is because none of us are that good at animating :P But then I thought it would be more original than other flashes if there were only still pictures, so it's kind of our own little style. But glad you liked it anyway!

The A-list pair, who met in 1990 while filming The Crossing, are said to have split "amicably", according to a Sydney Morning Herald report.
Russell, 48, and Danielle, 43, are primarily concerned for the wellbeing of their two sons, Charles, eight, and Tennyson, six.
According to SMH, the children will remain with Danielle in Sydney as Russell continues filming the biblical epic Noah in the US.
Neither of the parties has commented on the alleged split and its causes, but one factor may be the Gladiator star's hectic filming schedule.
Russell, who has been separated from his family for most of the past year, has worked back-to-back on The Man with the Iron Fist, Les Miserables, Broken City, Man of Steel, and now Noah.
Back in June, rumours swirled around Danielle's relationship with her Dancing with the Stars dance partner Damian Whitewood. The pair were photographed together on a night out at Sydney's The Star venue.

The social work program in the School of Social Work is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education, and required courses are organized to provide an environment where students can develop competencies needed for professional social work practice. The social work courses assume that students have a strong liberal arts background including courses in psychology, sociology, political science, biology and economics. Social work courses include content on practice with individuals, families, groups, communities and organizations; human behavior in the social environment; diversity; social policy; and research. Students apply the knowledge, skills and values learned in the courses to a practicum experience where students demonstrate their proficiency in the required practice competencies.
The close sequencing of social work courses taken in the junior and senior year requires regular academic and professional advising once a student is admitted into the BSW program, usually in the first semester of the junior year. Students who are interested in an undergraduate major in social work are strongly advised to declare a pre-major in social work as soon as they enter UMSL and to work with an advisor in the School prior to applying to the BSW program.
Students admitted to the BSW and MSW programs must meet with a social work adviser for advisement each semester, and must set up an appointment with the practicum office and attend a series of pre-practicum orientation sessions one semester prior to enrolling in the practicum.
The Social Work Bulletin provides a detailed list of program requirements and course descriptions.

In the heat of midsummer, in 1960, nineteen-year-old Deborah and several other young women share a cab to a convent on the Iowa bluffs of the Mississippi River. The girls, passionate to become nuns, heedless of all they are leaving behind, smoke their last cigarettes along the way and enter their life as postulants. In the same precise and beautifully crafted prose that distinguished her successful novel The White ("a brutal and beautiful novel"–The New York Times), Larsen's memoir lets us into the hushed life inside the convent. We learn about such practices as "custody of the eyes," the proper devotion to the rule of one's superiors, and the importance of avoiding "particular friendships." Her intimate episodic account captures the exquisite sense of peace–even of Presence–that dwelt among the women, as well as the strangeness of living under such strict rules. Gradually, she admits to a growing awareness that there is much life and beauty outside the motherhouse, which she is missing. The physical world–the lush experience of the tulip she stared at in the garden as a girl, the snow she tunneled in, and even the mystery of sex–begins to seem to her a significant alternative theater for a deep understanding and love of God.
With The Tulip and the Pope, Larsen delivers a swift and moving exploration of Christian experience and young womanhood in a more innocent time, and a message of devotion that extends far beyond the high walls of the convent.
"[An] evocative and intelligent memoir. . . . Larsen summons up a lost world." —Washington Post Book World
"[Larsen] recalls…an era when life in a nunnery, for many women, was the only counterculture available." —The New York Times
"Movingly and honestly explores an innocent girl"s faith and subsequent coming-of-age." —Bookpage

In "Creating Home," a Tapestry of Faith program
Most of us, by adulthood, have lived in more than one home. What have your homes been like? Why have you moved? How did it feel to move?
If you have asked children to bring a transitional object with them today, prepare to lead their sharing. Do you have a transitional object? Did you bring it? Did you have one (or more) when you were younger? Did it make you feel safe? Secure? Loved? Remember those feelings.
You can help the children in Creating Home feel all these things. Meeting with them regularly and speaking with them respectfully and lovingly will leave a lasting impression upon them. You help shape their "home" in this program.
If you brought a transitional object with you, place it somewhere in the room where you can see it but it will not be disturbed during the session activities.

In the single biggest piece of Milwaukee Brewers news to date, the Brew Crew agreed to a three-year deal with free agent "third basemen" Aramis Ramirez. Some (such as Ken Rosenthal) have the contract's value in the $34-37 million dollar range. Not bad for the last of the type Bs.
Ramirez represents a significant offensive upgrade over incumbent third baseman Casey McGehee, who hit a miserable .223/.280/.346 in 600 plate appearances this season. Consider the .373 wOBA Ramirez just posted, I'd say the Brewers just got better.
Aramis Ramirez is 33 and coming off an excellent season and, it seems, an excellent decision. In early November we covered Ramirez's decision to decline a $16 million dollar pay day and concluded this, now extremely prescient fact:
Even at a lower average annual value, the years are the thing. As a type-B free agent, Ramirez doesn't cost prospective teams a draft pick. This designation could free him up to sign a more lucrative deal as the pool for potential signing teams increases.
The Cubs net a supplemental pick but the signing costs the Brewers nothing (other than all the money). Obviously the signing benefits Aramis Ramirez as he now has:
- An additional $20 mil to spend on rocket cars and heavy cheeses and
- two extra years of guaranteed income.
Not a bad piece of business for Ramirez, even at a lower AAV.
The Brewers defense gets worse, sort of. The Brewers defense is so bad as to be considered an afterthought, so bringing in a creaky offense-first, fall-down-range corner infielder is no big deal. The Brewers added Alex Gonzalez on a one-year deal earlier today so defense isn't a complete non-issue.
Some suggest the Ramirez signing effectively ends the Brewers interest in Prince Fielder, as the ageing former Cub may slide to the other side of the diamond sometime during the life of this contract, not to mention the prospect of McGehee moving to first unless he is moved.
The Brewers also added former Giants infielder Travis Ishikawa on a minor league deal today. Never much of an offensive threat, he at least provides credible defense in what is becoming a very unBrewers-like trend.
As it stands, the Brewers went from a (very aggressive Bill James projected) .264/.322/.410 with 12 homers guy in Magehee to a (much more conservative ZiPS projected) .280/.340/.474 with 21 home runs guy in Ramirez.
All they must do now is address the gaping hole at first base and the 5 WAR they annually received from Prince Fielder. Shouldn't be a problem. There are plenty of guys like that kicking around.

A 22-year old woman has a banged-up car and some minor injuries, but it could have been much worse.
She was heading southbound on the 101 through San Luis Obispo about 10:30 this morning, when a brown SUV clipped her convertible Mitsubishi Spyder and sent her crashing into the center median, just south of Los Osos Valley Road.
The SUV didn't stop, but a group of people in a red vehicle that witnessed the accident, did pull over to check on her.
She suffered some bruises, mostly from the airbag deployment. The accident snarled traffic along the 101 for about a half-hour.
The CHP is investigating the accident.

A Salem Story
1830 — Donegall Ireland
My husband's father, William Thomas McGroarty was born in Salem, Massachusetts on October 8 1908. William, or Willie as he was called, was inducted into the Army in June of 1942 to serve with the 549th Night Fighter Squadron. The Enlisted Record and Report of Separation from the United States Army describes him as having blue eyes, black hair, being approximately five foot seven and one hundred fifty five pounds. He married Anna E Callahan on December 21 1943 in Seabrook, New Hampshire. William was thirty three years of age and Anna, a petite brunette, was just seventeen years old. Anna's family had immigrated from Nova Scotia, Canada to Massachusetts before her birth in 1924. Anna stayed in the McGroarty family home on Beckett Street in Salem until William's Honorable Discharge in 1945 and afterward they resided there together.
As early as 1946, Anna and Willie began to conceive and lose children. The first child being a live son delivered on December 20 of that year at Josiah B Thomas Hospital in Peabody and deceased the same day. There were many miscarriages and stillborn babies over the next sixteen years, the result of Anna and Willie's conflicting Rhesus or Rh type blood. This Rh Factor caused the infants to suffer Hemolytic Disease, a condition which occurs when the mother's body litterally rejects the fetus.
It wasn't until January 1962 that the doctors at Salem Hospital were able to perform the first ground-breaking and successful blood transfusions for an Rh Factor newborn. Though the infant lived, he was given a very small chance of survival and the odds were high that he would never reach adulthood. He was named William Thomas McGroarty Jr, called Billy, and the story of his birth was the subject of many medical research reports. The procedures that were used to bring the only child of Willie and Anna into the world, and keep him there, are still standard today. Unfortunately, by 1965 when William Jr was just three years old, Willie was already suffering from the Pancreatic Cancer that would take his life within the year. He wouldn't get to know his only child, the son that the doctors had worked so hard to save.
Anna E Callahan McGroarty remarried Richard (Skipper) Reilly in Seabrook, New Hampshire on January 19, 1968. Skipper was a very loving husband, stepfather and grandfather until his death in 1999. Anna Callahan McGroarty Reilly died of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) on February 24, 2010 in Gloucester, MA at the age of eighty five.
Willie McGroarty was the son of Patrick F McGroarty (III), a shoemaker and his wife Bridget Anne (O'Keefe) McGroarty. Patrick F (III) was born March 11 1881 in Keelogs, Donegal, Ireland and arrived in Massachusetts in 1883 at just two years of age with his parents, Patrick (Jr) and Ann (McGroarty) McGroarty. For a short time, the family lived in Peabody, MA before settling in Salem around 1892.
It is undetermined where or when Patrick F (III) and Bridget O'Keefe were married, though it was most likely in Salem around 1901. Bridget had been born in 1877 in Salem, though both her parents Patrick and Anna (Noone) O'Keefe were from Ireland, immigration year unknown. Patrick O'keefe and Anne Noone emigrated from the town of Cashel in the county of Tipperary, Ireland to South Carolina in the United States. Growing up in Ireland, his name was Padrigh O'Caoimh and her name was Anne O'Nuadhrin. They lived in Columbia and Charleston, South Carolina. Their descendants (and perhaps Patrick and Anne themselves) lived on 86 King street, Charleston, South Carolina.
Patrick was a confederate solider in the civil war. He fought in the battle of Ghettysburg, sustaining only one injury – his toe was shot off. Anne Noone O'keefe was a lady's maid. She and Patrick were in General Sherman's march from Atlanta, GA to the sea at the close of the civil war. When Anne and Patrick came to New England, they settled in Salem and lived at the corner of Tremont and Mason streets. Patrick owned and operated a boot shop opposite the Salem armory, about 130 Essex Street. They eventually moved to Marblehead, 16 Central Street. He was at one time president of the Young Men's Temperance Society. He and Anne are buried in St. Mary's cemetary. They had 9 children, of which Bridget was the sixth born.
Patrick and Bridget purchased a home at 26 Beckett Street, Salem, which would stay in the family for many years. Patrick F (III) and Bridget had ten children; Neal, John, Anna, George, Willie, Grace, Henry, James, Ruth and Dorothy.
Patrick F (III), my husbands paternal Grandfather, died at home of the Spanish Influenza in 1917 at age thirty six, the year his youngest chid, Dorothy, was born. Bridget died at age sixty six in Salem in 1943, shortly after their fifth child, Willy, went into the Army. (From the stories of the few people still alive that remembered Bridget O'Keefe McGroarty, she was an exceptionally beautiful, pleasant, kind hearted woman.)
Patrick (Jr), born in Ireland in 1855 was listed as a laborer on Salem Census Reports and in the occupational directories of Peabody, Salem, Beverly and Lynn. Patrick (Jr) and Ann (McGroarty) McGroarty had seven children, all born in Salem with the exception of the oldest child, Patrick F (III) (Keelogs, Donegal, Ireland). Their children were; Patrick F, Neal, Mary, George, Katherine, Christina and Henry.
The second oldest child and first to be born in Salem, Neal D McGroarty was born April 1885 and died at the United States Naval Hospital on Mare Island, San Francisco on January 15 1907, presumably of service related injuries.
He was just shy of twenty two years of age and a few days from being mustered out of the service.
Ann McGroarty died of pnemonia after delivering a stillborn male child on December 1 1899. She was just forty years of age. Not much information is available for Ann. Her death certificate, the only vital record I have found to date, names her parents as Connell and Winnie Unknown yet list her surname as McGroarty.
Patrick (Jr) would raise the remaining seven children in Massachusetts with the help of his oldest child, Patrick F (III), the shoemaker whose name would be listed below his father's in the occupational directories of several towns during his short life and career and until his death in Salem at the age of thirty six. Ann is burried in St. Mary's Cemetery, Salem.
Patrick (Jr), my husband's great grandfather died in Lynn, Massachusetts on Septembet 24 1915 at the age of 60 of toxemia from a perforated bowel. He had been a widower for sixteen years and lived alone in Lynn, MA. He is burried in St. Mary's Cemetery, Salem, MA.
Patrick (Jr's) father, my husband's second great grandfather was Patrick McGroarty who was born in Donegal, Ireland around 1830. He married a Catherine Gallagher. At this time no further information is known...

Hey guys...
I just purchased what I hope is a complete and correct setup for my home. and am looking for a bit of help. Here is what I bought CARRIER INFINITY 58MVC080-F-1-20 Multipoise Variable-Capacity Furnace 80,000 btu 24ana136 infinity 3ton high efficiency outdoor a/c unit,
I'm having difficulty determining the appropriateness of the coil ...part # capvt4221ata for my furnace. Someone said it was a old part number. But I'm looking for info to determine its size and whether it has the needed txv as part of it.
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by tigerdunes (My Page) on Mon, Nov 21, 11 at 9:24
A nice system That's an old mdl condenser that has been replaced. The AHRI number is the following. 3859566 Discontinued Systems INFINITY 21 PURON AC CARRIER AIR CONDITIONING 24ANA136A32 ´┐Ż CAP**4221A** 58MV(B,C)080-20 36600 13.30 18.00 I would verify this with your dealer and ask for the updated Infinity 21 model with the correct coil. It should not matter with dealer. IMO |
Wow...Thx 4 the fast response... I bought the system at a substantial savings...knowing that it might be older stock. I just wanted to confirm that it was actually a matched setup according to AHRI. and that it was indeed a good setup. Any further input appreciated. I stilled wondered about the txv valve part ? Would u know if its a part of that particular coil...or will need to be purchased as well? |
I found the following on the AHRI directory: 3859566 Discontinued Systems INFINITY 21 PURON AC CARRIER AIR CONDITIONING 24ANA136A32 CAP**4221A** 58MV(B,C)080-20 36600 13.30 18.00 1 RCU-A-CB 237 Yes The system is discontinued, but appears to be a proper match. A TXV is required. The product data for the coil states the TXV is included. Who is doing the installation? |
A local heating/air company that said they were really slow right now and could make me a great deal. Why do u ask? Does it matter..? Or just questioning a proper installation? does who installs it..affect the warranty? |
- Posted by tigerdunes (My Page) on Mon, Nov 21, 11 at 10:28
adaddo The idea that this will be a propane fueled furnace tells me you should add a HP condenser and not an AC condenser if your electric rate is reasonable. I have already seen propane prices above $3.00 and you know propane tracks home heating fuel oil prices. IMO |
Someone else mentioned this as well. Are you saying that a Heatpump would be better...with installed electric strips so that the system would be totally electric ? |
- Posted by tigerdunes (My Page) on Mon, Nov 21, 11 at 10:51
Adaddo What is your location? What is your electric rate? What is price/gal of propane? Are operating costs important to you? IMO |
The equipment needs to be installed by a qualified HVAC contractor. The models you listed are the best furnace, condenser and controller Carrier has in their line up. The performance numbers and comfort features won't mean anything if the equipment is not properly sized or incorrectly installed. I am a little skeptical of an HVAC contractor who says they are slow at the start of the winter season. Do you have confidence in this contractor? |
I'm in Indiana Propane is currently 2.30/gal Electricity (most recent bill 2362 kwh = 200.00)is that cheap? Operating costs are a factor. I tried to weigh pro's n cons .... The deal has been made ...so it looks like i'll be doing this LP sysytem. But feedback is definitely welcome |
Thx Mike_home for your feedback as well. As far as faith in the installer.....I've only talked with them on the phone...But seems very knowledgable thus far when talking of the install. Talked of correct static pressures and such. This is uncharted territory for myself. Any further recommendations are truly appreciated. Thanks everyone, for your continued input. |
- Posted by tigerdunes (My Page) on Mon, Nov 21, 11 at 11:39
Adaddo Not getting a HP is a big mistake. Here are the numbers on a BTU basis comparison. Cost per 100,000 btu of useable heat Electric baseboard: $2.64 Even straight electric resistance heat is about the same as propane. In fact, a heat pump with electric heat strips from an operating standpoint is worthy of consideration. But definitely, a hybrid or dual fuel is a much better choice than all propane heating. IMO |
Wow... Thx Tigerdunes...for the calculations Although a bit depressing in my current situation. I have alot of money in the above stated equipment...not sure how i'll proceed ...Hmmmm |
- Posted by heatseeker (My Page) on Mon, Nov 21, 11 at 12:18
You do get what you pay for- buyer beware. |
"As far as faith in the installer.....I've only talked with them on the phone...But seems very knowledgable thus far when talking of the install." Has the contractor visited your house? |
No... He'll be here tomorrow |
- Posted by weedmeister (My Page) on Mon, Nov 21, 11 at 16:16
Do you currently have propane in the house or will this be new? Do you currently have sufficient capacity in your electrical panel for electric heat strips (200amps)? What TD is getting at is that apparent cost of electrical heat strips and propane is the same. Since a HP is more efficient than electric strips when it is operating (say above 28F), it would be cheaper to use a HP over 28f than propane (or electric strips). The decision depends on the cost difference of going with a HP over the discontinued AC the dealer is offering. |
