Rain has been consistent through the morning for areas west of the Cascades. As the showers encounter the mountains they have been turning over to snow and traveling into the Klamath Basin. As the temperatures warm above freezing, a change over to rain is expected for the East Side. Widespread rain/snow activity will become more showery into midday with small breaks in cloud cover. By this evening, most of the wet weather will taper off as the system to the North continues driving inland.
Snow levels are around 5,000′ this morning and will rise to 7,000′ by this evening. Snow is on the roads at Crater Lake and a light dusting was covering Diamond Lake earlier this morning. The wet weather and cool temperatures will bring slick conditions to all areas, whether it is snowing or not, so drive carefully and be cautious of ice in the high country.
High pressure builds in for tomorrow and this will bring dry weather with afternoon sun, although clouds will still be present. Another system will move in for Thursday and this will bring more valley rain and mountain snow to the forecast area. Snow levels will drop to 4,000′ by Thursday late afternoon. Showers will continue in the mountains through early Friday morning and this could bring a light dusting to the higher passes.

Responsive Web is the New Black
Recently, Domain7 made a bold decision.
We've been talking about the centrality of the mobile web for a long time, and it was time to put our media queries where our mouth is. Domain7 is now actively developing every new site responsively, and responsive design is a standard offering on every proposal we put out.
Responsive websites are built on a flexible grid that shifts and adapts, depending on the device used to access it. A responsive site will scale just as gracefully for a smartphone as it does for a tablet or a desktop browser, and the user will never have to pinch, pull, or scroll to the right. It negates the need for a separate mobile site and means you only need to develop your site once, for all platforms.
In the last few weeks we've launched four responsive sites. Resize your desktop browser window to see the layout change depending on the width of the browser window.
Responsive web design is quickly gaining a following as one of the most practical, expedient and economical ways of building a site that is both backward compatible and future-proof.
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)—the web standards organization—held its first developer conference in November 2011. Notice that the conference site, featuring major sponsors, Microsoft, AT&T, Adobe, and Nokia, features a responsive design.
For designers, one of the most exciting aspects of this approach is the prospect of leaving old Internet Explorer behind. Because of the proliferation of browsers and devices, the expectation that a website should look the same in every browser is highly unrealistic and practically impossible. Given that reasoning, it makes more sense to design a site to use the latest features of modern browsers, yet still provide an experience for older browsers which is appropriate to the capabilities of that browser.
To ensure this approach works well, regardless of the device, the focus becomes quality content that meets the needs of your audience: simplify, streamline and adapt.
- Simplify and focus on key messages and user actions
- Streamline content to optimize load times
- Adapt the layout across a wide range of devices
Responsive web design represents a sea change in the way the web industry engages in building and designing sites. The change is akin to the adoption of web standards when everyone was building Flash sites and table-based layouts.
We used to talk of separate "mobile" and "desktop" sites. Now we talk about responsive sites and the open web platform. When you see a well designed responsive web site, you realize that it not only makes sense, it changes everything.

United States Attorney Jenny A. Durkan
Western District of Washington
Oregon Man Sentenced For Attempting To Illegally Export
Military-Grade Rifle Scopes Overseas
Items Subject to Special Licenses Under International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)
GEOFFREY B. ROOSE, 28, of Corvallis, Oregon, was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Seattle to 10 months in prison and two years of supervised release for attempting to violate the Arms Export Control Act, announced U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. ROOSE came to the attention of law enforcement after listing for sale on eBay several restricted, military-grade rifle scopes. ROOSE was indicted in February 2012 and pleaded guilty in March 2012. At sentencing U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour told him he could not overlook the attitude ROOSE displayed in response to warnings that selling the scopes overseas was illegal. "These are not hunting scopes," Judge Coughenour said. "These are killing scopes."
"The laws on exporting military equipment are designed to protect our country and our servicemen," said U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. "This prison sentence should be a warning to anyone considering sales that will damage our security for their personal profit."
According to records in the case, an agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) learned that ROOSE had sold export-restricted rifle scopes to individuals overseas without a required export license. ROOSE had continued to list rifle scopes for sale on eBay. The investigator sent ROOSE an email via the eBay site advising him that the rifle scopes that he was advertising were restricted for export. The agent received an email in response that read only "Thanks." Despite that warning, ROOSE continued to offer the restricted items for sale on eBay with no limitation on where they could be exported. Acting in an undercover capacity, an agent purchased one of the rifle scopes, asking that it be shipped to an address in Europe. ROOSE shipped the scope, but it was seized by law enforcement before it left the United States. ROOSE described the rifle scope on customs paperwork as being a "telescope w/Mount" valued at $150.00. ROOSE had sold the rifle scope to the agent for $1699.99. A court authorized search of ROOSE's email account revealed that he had previously taken steps to conceal the export of a rifle scope to a customer overseas because the scope was restricted for export. Investigators also uncovered emails where ROOSE told one critic "try worrying about your life, not stupid federal ITAR rules or stolen property."
In asking that ROOSE be sentenced to 18 months in prison, prosecutors highlighted his willful disregard of multiple warnings that it was illegal to send the high tech devices overseas. "There is simply no excuse for Roose's conduct. He was given every opportunity to change course and do the right thing. He was explicitly warned by the undercover ICE agent. He received a warning from the United States Postal Service. He received a warning from a stranger. Every product that he shipped was stamped with a warning about export. Nonetheless, he continued selling restricted items overseas, and was stopped only by his arrest," prosecutors wrote in their sentencing memo.
"It's always disturbing when an American illegally exports equipment that could be used on the battlefield against U.S. military servicemen," said Brad Bench, special agent in charge of HSI Seattle. "HSI will continue to work aggressively to stem the flow of restricted items from the U.S."
The case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Defense Criminal Investigative Service (DCIS). The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Thomas Woods.

Tonight's GOP debate on CNN could prove crucial for several of the Republican candidates and potential candidates in a still-roiled, still-early race for their party's nomination to attempt to unseat President Obama in 2012.
Michelle Bachmann, the Tea Party favorite from Minnesota, will make her national debut as a 2012 contender on the stage in Manchester, NH. As the front-runner so far, Mitt Romney will be under pressure not to hurt himself. Newt Gingrich will stop in New Hampshire on Redemption Road. And former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty simply will be trying to get more traction.
Sarah Palin won't be on the GOP-candidate stage tonight, and perhaps never. But her long "non-candidate" campaigning, and national media attention as the outspoken former governor of Alaska, leave her as a looming presence over the debate nonetheless. You can betcha that if she finally decides to leap into the fray, the post-debate dynamics will be upset.Continue reading...

Food for thought on two high-profile cases with online behavior at the heart of them: As New York Congressman Anthony Weiner watches his political career go down in flames, following the release of an even cruder picture that he admitted today he tweeted, his naivete about social media is a "tweet road to oblivion," as Washington Post op-ed writer E.J. Dionne Jr. puts it.
In an entirely different drama grabbing America'a (and the world's) attention, the trial of Casey Anthony — the young woman accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee — is rife with evidence from online activities: Photobucket uploads, Facebook posts, MySpace images, and (today's focus) cached web searches for incriminating terms (84 searches just on "chloroform") on Wikipedia and Google, plus text messages and cellphone pings tracing her whereabouts.Continue reading...

Just read an article taking place in Nova Scotia, where a Christian was suspended for wearing a Jesus shirt, which really seems like the polar opposite of what goes on in the States. In the US he'd probably be suspended for wearing an atheism related shirt and praised for wearing the Christian one. What do you think about this?
Yes we do, we just don't have the freedom to wear stupid shirts. :)
It seems to me (though I'm Scandinavian) that it was the correct response. Keep symbolic representations of religion, and non-religion, out of school. It's a reason it's called the formative years.
I think this guy has the right to display his beliefs however far from reality they are unless the school has rules about not displaying religious symbols but that was something he would have to know before attending that school. If you don't agree with atheist students in America being harassed for wearing atheist symbols like clothing then you shouldn't agree with this either. I would not be offended by his message,it says nothing about me or atheists in general but only displays his ignorance.
[EDITED BY MODERATOR– Personal attacks and insults are explicitly against TA's guidelines.]
No, this sort of thing happens to Christians in the United States as well (which is not to suggest it's the norm in either country). I doubt, in either country, Christians are being targeted; it's likely just overzealous enforcement of (possibly) misunderstood policy.
I think it's a nonissue for the most part provided the school has a well-defined dress code which is enforced with strict equality. It is a mere school policy issue; not a freedom of expression issue.
Suspended? From what? Is he in grade school? the Canadian Navy? Is he on the faculty of a public college? Or did Canadian police see him walking down the street wearing the shirt, then hang (suspend) him from a streetlight post?
One of the comments below the article said that in relation to local papers there was more detail.. in that it wasn't so much about the shirt as much as it was about the kid himself. Seems while he wore the shirt he was going around an making fun of other people's religions and making a general nuisance of himself in respect pushing his beliefs unto others.
I had read that as well, but it becomes two separate issues. If bullying or proselytizing at school was the issue then that should have been the sole reason for the suspension.
Its easier to deal to make the shirt an issue, especially if there's currently no rules about bullying or proselytizing in the school.
There isn't a school in the country that doesn't have rules about bullying. Proselytizing is a different matter, but if he was doing it to the point that there was a problem, then there isn't a school in the country that doesn't have rules against harassment.

The Patriots blew a pair of 14-point leads in the game, having led 17-3 in the second quarter and 31-17 in midway through the third quarter. The Bills and Ryan Fitzpatrick would just not go away, at least not until a miscommunication between the quarterback and his receiver led to an easy
But the reason that Buffalo was in range for a potential game-winning TD, and the Patriots defense had to "make a play" to "save the day" was once again the inability of the
After Buffalo cut the score to 34-31 on a Fitzpatrick 2-yard touchdown to Donald Jones, the Patriots took possession at their own 32 with 7:40 to play. It was another chance for the team's much criticized four-minute offense (the name given to a situation where the team is leading and trying to run out the clock to victory) to get the job done. And it actually performed quite well, until it mattered most.
That's when the Patriots – Bill Belichick and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels -- made a strange decision to hurry to the line of scrimmage and snap the ball quickly rather than to let the play clock run down and continue to try to eat away at the time Buffalo might have to attempt another scoring drive.
After the quick snap, which actually caught CBS TV cameras in a replay, Ridley was tackled for a 2-yard loss. Two incompletions later – the second a missed TD opportunity in which Brady one-hopped a possible score to
Not only did the drive not eat up enough time – although taking 5:41 off the clock was still a decent effort – it also only resulted in a field goal, leaving the game a one-score deficient for the visitors. A Bills team that had scored on five of its previous seven possessions was still very much alive.
In the end the Bills would not only turn the ball over in the end zone when little-used rookie receiver T.J. Graham ran the wrong route, but also lost a pair of timeouts on the final drive when a pair of their players were injured in the final two-minutes, by rule costing Buffalo the chance to otherwise stop the clock.
It all worked out in the end for New England, but Belichick himself acknowledged the questionable decision to hurry to the line in his team's late game situation on the goal line. New England often runs a hurry-up attack, or tries to catch the defense off-guard in certain situations, but the question is whether or not the circumstances at the end against Buffalo was one of those times when such an approach was advisable.
"If it doesn't work, if you don't get it in, then you certainly would be better not doing it and taking more time off the clock," Belichick admitted. "If we had gotten it in and made it a two-score game, I don't want to say that would have sealed it, but it certainly would have made it a two-possession game for Buffalo instead of the one-possession game that it ended up being. That's the dilemma there: if you try to manage the clock and you don't complete the execution of the situation, then that's not really successful and if you don't complete the situation, then it's not successful and if you don't manage the clock, then that's not successful. When you try to sometimes do too much managing of the clock, then the criticism is you should just do what you're doing to be successful and why change at that point? Right, that's the balance you're trying to strike. Bottom line is you have to execute the situation. If you do that, then that's good and if you don't, then there will be plenty of 'what if?'"
Fortunately, the decision didn't come back to bite the Patriots as they improved to 6-3 on the year and built to a two-game lead in the AFC East. But decisions like the call on the goal line can become make-or-break issues in key NFL games more often than not, especially late in the year and into the postseason.
New England got away with one this time. But even Belichick admitted it's one of those calls that's worth a second-look, a second-consideration. And that makes it a perfect topic for today's Take Two-sday!

Auditions for the Richmond Hill Community Theatre production of "The Wizard of Oz," which will be performed May 1 and 2, were last weekend. Here are three people who sought parts:
Feb. 5: Mobile food pantry - The United Way will have its mobile-food pantry for emergency food relief from 10 a.m.-noon at J.F. Gregory Park.
It's the beginning of a new program. Fort McAllister State Historic Park hosted a one-day camp called Junior Naturalist Mini Camp for children ages 8-12 recently.
The Richmond Hill-Bryan County Chamber of Commerce had its annual Meeting and Dinner Banquet Jan. 22 at the Richmond Hill City Center. Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield Garrison Commander Col. Kevin F. Gregory was the keynote speaker. Richmond Hill Pharmacy was named Business of the Year. For more photos, go to community.bryancountynews.net/gallery/detail/3813/
Jan. 29 & 31: "The Wizard of Oz" Auditions – The Richmond Hill Community Theatre will host auditions for the production of "The Wizard of Oz," which will be performed May 1 and 2. The auditions will take place at the Richmond Hill Public Library from 6-9 p.m., on Jan. 29, and from 2-5 p.m., on Jan. 31. Singing talent is not required, but is a plus. Participants to do not need to prepare a monologue or have an extensive acting resume. Actors can bring a headshot, but it is not required.
Two local businesses - the Richmond Hill branch of the Navy Federal Credit Union and the Richmond Hill City Center - along with several local individuals recently made donations to help give sets of books and matching plush toys to children in Gold Star Families who are a part of the Snowball Express.
Marion Neeley, assistant manager of Navy Federal Credit Union in Richmond Hill, faces the questions this week:
Jan. 23-24: Doo Wop and Rock Festival - Doo Wop and Rock is a two-day celebration of the good, old-time rock 'n' roll.

Local community members took down their holiday decorations and dropped off their live Christmas trees at J.F. Gregory Park to be recycled. The trees were put into a wood chipper to create mulch. Tiffany Stroud caught some of the action on her camera.
Upcoming events selected by Life on the Hill staff:
Richmond Hill resident Audrey Singleton, owner of the Richmond Hill Montessori Preschool, recently was recognized by the Georgia Child Care Association. For her 20 years of service to childhood education, fellow child-care facility owners who felt Singleton had made a commitment to the industry throughout the year nominated her for the honor.
Life in Bryan County is full of community events and interesting people, but those who just need to get away from life's hustle and bustle and enjoy some quiet time in nature are in luck. The Ogeechee River is just the place for peace and relaxation, and local organization Ogeechee Riverkeeper is keeping watch to make sure it remains so.
The Richmond Hill City Center hosted High Tea on the Hill for ladies of the community on Feb. 18 to benefit Pay It Forward Foundation of Bryan County, which is headed by Dana Lewis and helps the less fortunate. The event featured hot tea, soup, quiche, sandwiches, fruit, yogurt, scones and a variety of desserts. Hollie Moore Barnidge brought her camera along to document the event.

I say this because my 5 year old has had a awful cough for over a month. She has been taking OTC cough medicines and delsym. None of these really worked. Her pediatrician recommended this medicine because it is all natural. It works great. It is so natural it can be taken every 2 hours if needed but normally lasts for at-least 6-8 hours. It is great tasting so my kid takes it really well. I would recommend for a kid or an adult.

This Week's Market Buzz
- Details
- Published: Wednesday, 31 October 2012 17:58
- The Sierra Club organized a protest at Starved Rock State Park in LaSalle County, Ill., to speak out against Mississippi Sand's proposed 200-acre mining and processing plant just outside the park. The rally for Starved Rock came just more than a week after a draft of Mississippi Sand's final permit was posted on the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's website. The permit, required by the Federal Clean Water Act, would stipulate the manner in which Mississippi Sand can release discharge, containing pollutants, into Horseshoe Creek. The creek runs through Starved Rock State Park and into the Illinois River. The permit is reportedly the last one Mississippi Sand is required to obtain before mining can start next year.
- The Buffalo County, Wis., Board of Adjustment unanimously approved a frac sand mining operation along State Hwy. 37 south of Mondovi, Wis. The county's three-member zoning board of adjustment unanimously approved three permits for adjacent landowners to do surface mining on 171 acres, as well as build a sand-washing facility. The board issued 20-year permits with as many as 50 operating conditions, including setting truck traffic at 300 sand loads on weekdays. Trucking will not be allowed from 7 a.m. to 8:05 a.m. and 3:20 p.m. to 5 p.m. during school days. Board of Adjustment members Dale Klopp, Ron Kazmierczak and Chris Weisenbeck said the JLS Sands mining plan was compatible with adjacent agricultural land uses.
- The growth boom in Wisconsin's frac sand industry appears to be slowing, according to WisconsinWatch.org. In June, the Center found 107 already permitted or proposed industrial sand facilities in the state – 160 percent as many mines, processing plants, and rail load-outs as there had been the previous summer. In the past four months, the number has only grown to 115. At least 37 mines are now operating, and 41 more have received permits. Anti-mining activists scored several major victories recently, including the denial of permit proposals in Buffalo, Trempealeau, and Eau Claire counties. But market forces may be more responsible than community resistance for the slow-down in applications.

The Onion A.V. Club Places Water Liars & Southeast Engine in Their 40 Great Songs of 2012 List
Noel Murray and the wonderful folks at The Onion A.V. Club placed both Water Liars and Southeast Engine in their 40 Great Songs of 2012 List. In addition, the popular music blog Captain's Dead placed Water Liars' Phantom Limb in their Best of 2012 list. That's not to mention The Black Swans' listing as #11 in American Songwriter's Top 50 Songs of 2012… and more…
American Songwriter lists Black Swans at #11 in Top 50 Songs of 2012
The Black Swans were recently listed at #11 on American Songwriter's Top 50 Songs of 2012. Written by Jerry DeCicca, the heavy-hearted "Portsmouth, Ohio" chronicles the day the band's late violinist Noel Sayre died in a swimming pool accident, with a journalistic eye and no sentimentality, taking the listener from the diving board to the I.C.U. to chicken salad sandwiches on the 4th of July. The swimming pool is featured on the cover of Occasion for Song (Misra; 2012). "Portsmouth, Ohio" has the signature of most great songs – a seemingly effortless ability to make time stand still. It's a phenomenal track. Do listen here.
Columbus Alive! premieres new Black Swans video
Columbus Alive! premiered The Black Swans' video for "Where Are You Tonight?" – track 7 from Occasion for Song (Misra; 2012).

"Indie-folk outfit The Black Swans' latest album Occasion for Song is tinged with the grief of the passing of founding member Noel Sayre. Watch the striking video for the album track "Mask From Memory."
'The song is story of process and dreams …. imagining yourself creating a mask of your friend that died to see things through his eyes,' vocalist/guitarist Jerry DeCicca tells American Songwriter. 'The mask is the memory you see the world through; the construction is the song's metaphor for engaging your own thoughts and feelings in hopes of learning something about yourself.'"

Yahoo – A group of high school students in Pekin, Ill., were suspended last week after school officials suspected the mints they were eating were actually illegal drugs. Jason McMichael, the father of one of the students, told the Journal Star that his 17-year-old son Eric was suspended for two days from Pekin Community High School and not allowed to attend the school's homecoming festivities after staffers found four students eating energy mint tablets that are marketed like caffeine energy drinks. Eric McMichael said he and three others were eating Revive tablets—touted as "nature's energy mints"—in the school cafeteria when they were disciplined. "People bring energy drinks to school every day," the teen told Central Illinois' WMBD-TV. "I see this every day and we get in trouble for energy mints?"According to EnergyFiend.com, each mint contains 101 milligrams of caffeine along with guarana, green tea, ginseng, acai, mangosteen and goji. The Revive brand is endorsed by several MMA fighters and fitness pageant contestants.McMichael's father said school officials later admitted they did not know if the chewable, unmarked mints were, in fact, illegal drugs but upheld the suspensions anyway, saying the teens displayed "gross misconduct for taking an unknown product.""Now they know nothing illegal happened," McMichael said on Friday, "but they're still pursuing the suspension."
Got to love school administrators. Just doing the damn thing per usual. Like okay I get that they suspended these kids because they thought they were doing drugs. Fine. I guess I can live with that. But then they find out that the kids were telling the truth the entire time. That they were just eating energy pills. No different than drinking a cup of coffee or a red bull. So what does the school do? They suspend them anyway for displaying "gross misconduct by taking an unknown product". Like that's really what they said. IE – these kids got suspended because they ate something that is 100% legal but the school had never heard of.
Listen there are only 3 places in the world that you can get away with this type of logic. North Korea, China and the US school system. Those are the only places where right and wrong, logic and reason don't matter and whatever the person in charge says goes without question. You almost got to tip your cap to school administrators. One of the last true dictatorships in the world.
PS – I need to get me some of these energy mints. I mean if they're good enough for fitness pageant contestants than they are good enough for me. I'm not even joking. Those motherfuckers always looking like they are on speed or something.

Professor Cain will hold the book discussion first followed by a signing session.
"I want to stress that although we will have books on hand for me to sign, the point of this event first and foremost is to bring out friends and those interested in this topic so I can share the ideas which the book contains," says Professor Cain. "No one in attendance should feel obligated to purchase a copy unless they want to do so."
Many Heavens, One Earth examines what a "crucial and transforming influence" nine of the world's great religions can have on how people respect the environment. Professor Cain says although he edited the book primarily for a general reading audience, scholars should find it useful as well.
"The essays in this much-needed and well-edited anthology provide up-to-date reflection on religious themes and teachings that can help us think about the proper place of humans in earth's ecosystems," says Marti J. Steussy of the Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, IN. "Clifford Chalmers Cain has done a great service for religious scholarship and the world in assembling this collection of readings."
Published by Lexington Books, copies may be purchased at the Westminster Bookstore for $60.
The volume will also be used in Professor Cain's fall class, Spiritual Ecology.

Baby Daddy In Hot Water
- Published 04/7/2014
- Relationships - Women
I have been with my baby's dad for 5 1/2 years. We broke up for a month, but we got back together. After a while he told me he had a one night stand with someone, and now she's pregnant. I hate him. He's ruined my life, but I still love him. I don't know what to do. We have a child together so, whatever happens, I have to speak to him. I'm so confused. I didn't think he would do this to me. I thought I could trust him I thought he loved me enough to not even think about another girl. Please help me.
-------------------------------Miss Emily's advice-------------------------
I want to preface my e-mail with this remark. Your boyfriend will have to insist on a DNA test if this girl decides to keep the baby. That's just common sense. I'm not excusing him for being careless -- it was a stupid thing he did by not using protection -- but with that one lapse in judgment, he's managed to alter your life as well as his own, and he must be one sorry sod. That said, you two broke up for a month, and there were reasons for that. Do not delude yourself into thinking all would be well if this hadn't happened. If this girl has his child, and he does, or does not want to assist in parenting, he will be obligated to pay child support. I know how hurt you are, but if you have any desire to keep your relationship with him together, and I think you do, you'll have to see this as a choice he made in the heat of the moment (assuming this is the first breach of trust). Each of you will need to be in lockstep on how you're going to handle what comes next. If he's the father of this child, you will have to be on board with the role he'll choose to play, and resentment cannot be a driving force. You can't put the bullet back in the chamber, but you have choices: support him in this unfortunate turn of events, or strongly consider ending the partnership if you cannot get past it. Neither one of you need to fight about this, endlessly, continue to point the finger of blame, nor hurt your child by having two warring parents. Life throws us some curves, and this is, definitely, a big one. The choices you make do not have to be ones that ruin your life, indefinitely.
She's Talking To A Guy Who's In Prison
- Published 04/4/2014
- Relationships - Women
Dear Miss Emily:
Hi. I'm 30 years old. I have been writing this guy in prison for 5 months. everything seems to be going great -- except for I think I'm catching feelings. Let me rephrase that: I know I'm catching feelings. He told me today that he knows we've been talking a lot on the phone, but he can't predict the future. But he knows that when he gets out he wants to hang out with me. Mind you, I haven't seen him yet and he's always telling me how he is happy that I wrote him -- and I'm great, and he can't wait to talk to me the next time we talk. Should I tell him that I have feelings, or should I quit talking to him? Please help me. I have caught feelings for this man, and I'm scared.
------------------------Miss Emily's advice---------------------
I have a sneaking suspicion you would still talk to him if I did tell you to stop! So let's assume you continue this relationship. I think he already knows you like him. You've spent an awful lot of time corresponding, and talking to him. I won't paint those in prison with one broad brush. Race and/or poverty are often the determining factors in who ends up behind bars -- and who doesn't. That said, you didn't say why he's incarcerated, but you'd want to be careful to not to commit to a guy who is a con artist. He says he can't predict the future and, in some respects, that's true. But our future is also determined by the choices we make today. If he told you he wants to hang out with you when he gets out, and that should be the most you'd want to do at this point, I'd also do a background check on him if you can. It cost money but, as I said, many males and females landed in prison because they do con people -- it's just that they got caught in the act. If he doesn't have a supportive family, he could be looking to you for his meal ticket when he gets out. I know, he doesn't seem the type. He seems so nice! But "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

How could a parent send their child to a school that would hire Petrino in a position that influences young people?
Does anyone in the NFL know how to tackle? Delivering big hits - and not wrapping up to take the player down - is not tackling.

Gee, football coaches! I hardly recognize blocking and tackling any more. Aren't those vital for winning football games? Vince Lombardi proved it.

The fact is coaches in high school & college have limited time with players. They use that time on scheme. Fundamentals are on the back-burner. Too many players with bad fundamentals.
Kiffin will be excellent as an OC, just don't put him in charge ever again. He is a top assistant, at best!!
It's probably just a story to grab attention, but I would be shocked to see Kiffin join Saban at Alabama.

I've had several requests lately for a newer version of the merit badge check off list, updated with the newest badges. So I've redone the list as a Google spreadsheet. This will make it easier to keep updated.
Boy Scout Archives: Coin Collecting Merit Badge
Coin collecting is one of the oldest of all hobbies. Hoards of ancient coins found in excavations indicate that coins were one of the first collectibles. From earliest times, people valued coins not only as a means of trading and storing wealth, but also as miniature works of art.
Age Requirements for Merit Badges
A reader asks about how old a Scout should be to work on a merit badge. The Guide to Advancement provides some answers.
Display Sheets for Coin Collections
Display sheets are the perfect way to show off your coin collection. You can store many coins in a single binder and still be able to easily view both sides of your coins.
Coin Collecting Merit Badge for Boy Scouts
If you know a Boy Scout with a coin collection, have him look at the requirements for the Coin Collecting merit badge.
Tips for Starting a Collection
There are several Scouting achievements related to collecting. So how do you start a collection? Here are some tips to get started.
Hobbies Troop Program Feature for Boy Scouts
The Boy Scout Roundtable Planning Guide suggests a Hobbies feature for December 2011. So this month we'll take a look at this feature in more depth. Some of the ideas in this program feature will also be useful to Cub Scouts and Venturers who are working on hobbies related programs.
Requirements and Helps for Boy Scout Merit Badges
You can learn about sports, crafts, science, trades, business, and future careers as you earn merit badges. There are more than 100 merit badges.

Baby Food Peas Recipe
- 1 lb. frozen peas
- 1/8 c. of water
- Steam peas until soft. Puree in food processor. Then press through food mill.
- After food mill, add water slowly until desired consistency.
Yield: approximately 12 oz (stage 1 Gerber) = 12 food cubes = 24 T
14 Responses to "Baby Food Peas Recipe"
Is it okay to refreeze frozen peas? I think this would be so convienent! I spent nearly an hour popping peas out of their pods the other day and only got 1/8 cup of peas ;(
As long as you cook the frozen peas, then puree, you can refreeze the puree. Any frozen food needs to be cooked first before refreezing.
So i bought a bag of peas yesterday only to find out when i got home the whole bag had 200mg of salt in it. Do you think it would be bad to use that for baby food?
Hi! I love your Website and am determined to start making my own baby food tomorrow. Do you only buy frozen veggies, or do you use fresh ones as well? Thanks!
I use a Ninja blender…do I still have to use a food mill too?
I have heard of blending veggies/fruit with breast-milk instead of water to get a good consistency. Any thoughts?
My friend told me about your site because I make baby food too. I've done frozen peas, boiled until softened, then pureeed with formula/breastmilk to the right consistency. I also add just a dash of garlic every now and then to let his taste buds explore.
[…] Peas […]
good job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Locate a doctor near you.
Did you know 2/3s of Americans are overweight or obese? There are many aspects to obesity: not enough exercise, drinking extra calories, frequent fast food, high-calorie snacking, etc. But a study reports a disconnect between serving size listed on a package label and how much folks actually eat.In a survey of 2,500 adults, 25% admitted eating an entire product that was supposed to serve 2-3 people. And frozen meals designed to serve 4 are frequently eaten by one person. That means MORE calories, fat, sodium and sugar are consumed than what is listed on the package label.One serving of canned soup = half the can. So if you eat the entire can, which is what most people do, then you can double the amount of sodium that you take in. And with most soups, that's probably over 1,500 mg – an entire day's worth of sodium.What's in a serving size? A 100-calorie serving of cookies may sound reasonable – but if you eat four servings, then you'retaking in 400 calories. Similarly, an 8-oz serving of soda at 120 calories doesn't sound too bad – but if you drink the entire bottle (not just 8-oz!), then you've actually consumed 480.Calories add up quickly.The serving size listed on a label is not a suggestion for you to eat that portion, but to realize that the calories, sodium and other nutrients listed are for that portion. If you eat or drink more, you will increase the calories and other nutrients also. This may sound like common sense but a lot of folks miss this important distinction when choosing their snacks.

Greetings to All! We have had a good week at home - it is always nice to be in familiar surroundings from time to time. Much of the snow and ice is gone and we sense that spring is near. We await sunlight and blue skies - darkness and gray, gloomy skies have been with us far too long! (Also, check our blog for new pics! http://www.caldwelltsamissions.blogspot.com/ )
Easter...May you have a blessed Easter! We do not celebrate for another month so you will hear about our traditions closer to our Easter.
Let the Farewells Begin...We have several foreigners (we call them expats) who are leaving us this year. Last Sunday evening, we farewelled the first couple. Mark Houston-Robb came in 1999 as a single man. This week, he returned to England but has a wife, Masha, and beautiful child who will join him as soon as he has employment. We will miss him! He was a steady volunteer of the homeless street feeding and assisted with projects. The visa process required him to leave. We farewell Majors Mike and Ruth Stannett at the end of April and they will be transferred to Czech Republic. With them we lose the Director of the New Hope Homeless Street program. This fall, we will farewell Simone and Cliff Worthing and their two children who came to Moscow as employees in 2001. Cliff is a licensed counselor and has worked with Pastoral Care, Disaster Response, Fundraising, and Public Relations. Simone has been the Editor of our War Cry and Officer and presently works in Public Relations. We will also farewell Captains Glen and Julia Price with their son this fall. They were Youth and Children Officers for Russia and are presently working in THQ Resources. Lay Employees Neil and Svetlana Rudd will farewell with their two children this fall after four years of serving as Projects and Children Sponsorship staff. Over the years, Brad and I have seen a host of people farewell - we stopped counting around 40.
SA Visa Process is Moving ForwardMissionaries from other area churches are being required to leave because they are not part of a registered organization. Many churches will have their headquarters outside of Russia due to the new laws. The Salvation Army remains registered in Russia and we have work permits which allow us to get work visas; we continue to work on our registration for Moscow - keep praying!
Officer Refresher CourseThis week we will have nine of our longest serving officers in Moscow for a week of studies to update them. They will see many books and documents that have been recently published which were most likely not prepared for them to study when they were in training. We will review the O&R for Officers, Leadership Development, Senior Pastoral Care, Officer Competencies, Public Relations and the list goes on. They will also have several hours of study of the doctrines and hermeneutics. Brad and I do most of the teaching so it will be a busy week!
Lublino Corps Loses Building....As far as we know, the Lublino corps has always held their services in a local school gymnasium. Laws have made it difficult to do this but the principal has a warm heart for The Salvation Army and continued to allow the corps to meet. Nevertheless, it has become more and more challenging.....at times, the corps could not meet in the hall, other times, they could not wear their uniform. Then there were the guards who locked the door not allowing anyone to enter. When it was decided that they could no longer rent, it was time to find a new location but this has not been easy. Pray as they seek an answer to this situation!
Family UpdateCadets from Atlanta are serving this week in Guiana. Keep all of them including our son Justin in your prayers! Jason and family are doing well - Gracie Maye is rolling over, discovering the world. Jay remains a Nazarene youth pastor and attends college full time. Jaron is working part time for a theater press office doing publicity for the upcoming broadway show called "A Catered Affair" while finishing his final semester in college. This was an internship from last year that turned into a paid job this year.
Ginger Ale Arrives in Moscow!!!!Yes, for the first time in our EET history, we have seen, purchased, and tasted ginger ale right here in our own home in Moscow! We are still waiting on the Root Beer to show up. (smile) It is the little things...
Praises....1. St. Petersburg Salvation Army has the right to hire foreigners. This is good news!2. We are glad for a great group of cadets who are excited about their mission.3. We share in a great team of officers to work with on a daily basis.
Prayer Needs...1. Mission strategy meetings are taking place throughout the territory, searching for the direction our territory should take into the future. 2. Sunday one of our cadets was sent back to Moldova due to an acute kidney infection; another cadet is in Moldova recovering from pneumonia.3. Continue to pray for Russia - our soldiers, officers and the search for a new Divisional Commander. Their Mission Strategy meeting with the TC is this coming weekend.
Thank you for the cards and emails this week! We are watching all the moves taking place both in our home territory and around the world. May God bless our Army!
We love you! We are blessed to serve in Russia.

Have you ever succumbed to trying a weight loss fad diet? It happens to the best of us! While we all know that weight loss should happen through healthy diet and exercise, sometimes it's tempting to try a shortcut. Check out these top 3 crazy weight loss fad diets of all time.
Back in the 50s, a British physician by the name of Dr. Simeons recommended that eating a 500-calorie-a-day diet and getting daily shots of a hormone called hCG (human choriogonadotropin) would promote weight loss. This hormone is used as a fertility treatment in women but there is absolutely no evidence linking it to weight loss among average people. And while these hormone shots are FDA approved as a fertility drug, they can be dangerous and can cause blood clots, depression, and headaches. The 500-calorie-a-day diet constriction is the only part of this crazy fad diet that results in weight loss. Starvation is never a good way to lose weight so please don't try this at home!
TIP: Eat 3-4 smaller meals throughout the day rather than injecting yourself with hormones! This will help keep your tummy full all day so you won't overeat come meal time. Also, up your veggie intake and consider using a green supplement to ensure you're getting enough greens in your day.
Eat a live parasite that will live in your body and eat the food out of your stomach. Oh… and it could possibly kill you. But you'll lose weight! Sounds great, right? WRONG. Hopefully no one has ever considered this diet as a reality. Thankfully, the US has banned the purchase and transportation of this parasitic worm, however there are a few rogue internet sites out there teaching people how to become infected with the worms.
TIP: Instead of ingesting parasites to lose weight, try alkalizing and energizing your body with a healthy green drink each day. Make a green smoothie every morning with fresh produce and add a scoop of All Day Energy Greens to boost the nutritional content. You'll be amazed at the results in just a few weeks.
Junk food junkies rejoice! If this diet actually worked, you could eat ice cream and drink beer all day and lose weight. Sounds awesome, right?! The theory behind this diet is simple: it takes energy for your body to warm up these cold foods once they are in your stomach. That means that you must burn calories to heat the food before your body can naturally digest it. Naturally, there's no way for us to get all the vitamins and minerals we need from beer and ice cream alone, so this diet doesn't work in the end.
TIP: Eat a variety of healthy foods from all food groups with the majority of your diet consisting of plant-based foods. Supplement with green energy drinks in the morning and afternoon to make sure you're getting the proper amount of fruits and veggies each day.

ABC News' Jonathan Karl reports: Is the Senate Finance Committee on the verge of a bi-partisan health care deal? The big Page One headline in today's Washington Post declares "Senators Close to Health Accord." Finance committee negotiators, the article says, "are expected to wrap up their arduous multi-week talks in the coming days."Well, maybe not. In response to the article, the Finance Committee's Democratic staff director sent out an email to the offices of Senators on the Finance Committee saying "neither an accord nor an announcement is imminent.""In fact," writes staff Director Russ Sullivan in an email obtained by ABC News, "significant policy issues remain to be discussed among Members, and any one of these issues could preclude bipartisan agreement."Another sign of trouble: two Senators on the committee — one a Democrat, the other a Republican — tell ABC News they doubt the Committee will pass a bill before August recess begins on August 7, a deadline reaffirmed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Tuesday afternoon.
