Like most Americans, actress Sarah Brown grew up thinking bread was the staff of life. Little did the "Days of Our Lives" soap star know. For her, this dietary staple – a gluten food – is like kryptonite to Superman. She talks about how having symptoms of celiac disease helped her regain her health and solve a family epidemic…
Sarah Brown's first clue of celiac disease was a swollen face. At first, the soap star, known to millions of TV fans as waify Aggie Jones,
initially attributed the puffiness to water retention from salt and the overzealous exercise schedule of a working actress.
Then she started having stomach problems, energy-zapping fatigue and rashes.
Her mother and other family members also had similarly unexplained symptoms.
"A pattern started to emerge, so I knew there was an allergy of some kind," says Brown, 37. "I said to myself, 'I'm going to find out what's killing my family and, if I die in the process, at least I will [know] I did everything I could to find out what's going on.'"
But getting the correct celiac disease diagnosis wasn't easy.
The disorder is triggered by an abnormal immune reaction to foods with gluten, a protein in grains like wheat, rye and barley.
When people with celiac disease eat foods or use products with gluten, their immune system attacks and destroys villi – tiny, fingerlike protrusions lining the small intestine, according to the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse. Without those, a person becomes malnourished, no matter how much food they eat.
In this exclusive Lifescript interview, the former "General Hospital" star discusses her symptoms of celiac disease, how to spot foods with hidden gluten and her tips for a successful celiac disease diet.
What were your symptoms of celiac disease?
I went to the doctor when I noticed my face would swell whenever I ate bread. Also, I was having out-of-control allergies to pollen [and] felt I was going to pass out after eating bread or pasta.
It would come on really quickly. It was like I was sinking into a coma. I couldn't keep my eyes open.
Was it difficult to get a celiac disease diagnosis?
I had a good idea what it was in 2007, but it wasn't until 2008 that I saw a specialist [who] had been highly trained in the symptoms of celiac disease. By the time I was tested, I had stopped eating gluten almost completely.
In fact, I was told I didn't have celiac or wasn't allergic to bread. I ended up going home and – not having had any gluten for about three months – ate a half a loaf of bread. Then, I didn't get out of bed for almost three months.
Which test finally confirmed the celiac disease diagnosis?
At that point, I started to photograph what happened to my face as a result of [eating foods with gluten], because the next morning, I woke up looking like someone had beaten me.
I took those photographs and went for a second opinion at UCLA. I eventually had a gene test and then had seven people in my family who were having symptoms of celiac disease – ranging from epilepsy to skin rashes – get tested.
All of them became symptom-free by going on a gluten-free diet. My mom, too, tested positive for the celiac disease gene. She had epilepsy and a lot of other symptoms of various autoimmune diseases that celiac can [trigger].
Was your mother's epilepsy cured by a celiac diet?
No, you can't cure epilepsy. Once celiac disease does extensive neurological damage, I believe that's permanent.
[Because of what happened to my mom] I want to help people who haven't been diagnosed. I watched [her] from the time I was 12 years old. It completely destroyed an otherwise healthy person. It took a lot of years away from both of us.
As a child, were you taught that bread is wholesome?
I believe a lot of my family are sick is [because] my parents were naturalists. They were very into whole foods.
My mom made her own bread and it was always wheat. When I was a kid, we had to eat wheat bread. So as I grew up, I took to heart that bread is good for us. We should consume large quantities of it.
How much gluten you eat can affect whether you develop [symptoms of] celiac disease, along with a lot of other factors they don't know.
Your daughter, Jordan, is 13 years old. Is she on a gluten-free diet?
She has the gene. But she doesn't have celiac disease as of the last time she was tested. They recommended she come back in five years and get tested again. I'm watching her, and Jordan is, obviously, highly aware of it.
How has she reacted to the possibility of getting celiac disease?
On the one hand, there's the little rebellion that makes her think,
I'm going to eat foods with gluten like crazy.
The other part of her realizes there are risks involved [because of] her genetic makeup.
We're watching all the kids [in the family], and several are on gluten-free diets.
You have used the word "kryptonite" to describe foods with gluten. Besides wheat bread, what other products must you avoid?
Gluten is in anything that contains barley, wheat or rye. Unfortunately, a couple of times we [bought] wheat-free cereal with gluten in it.
That can be very misleading, especially if a company has a cereal that is gluten-free and another that is wheat-free, and they look exactly the same.
[Manufacturers] use barley malt [which contains gluten] to flavor so many things. I have to be very careful.
Now that there's more awareness about the symptoms of celiac disease, is it easier to find foods without gluten?
If you have to be stricken with [an illness] that makes daily life difficult, celiac disease is great.
Because it affects so many people, laws and foods [are] changing.
Have you become a good cook as a result of your celiac disease diet?
I was already a good cook. Cooking was a huge part of my life. Every Sunday we would do big dinners.
Being diagnosed was devastating for me because it changed my relationship with food [and] cooking. It's difficult because you have to make two separate meals, and I was never great at timing.
Now, there are so many wonderful flours and great products that it's easy.
I can just buy gluten-free things for the most part and then add gluten for my daughter and other people when they come over.
I have gluten-free spices and [other] things, so I feel comfortable cooking side by side with my daughter.
Do you have tips for others with symptoms of celiac disease or on a celiac disease diet?
Do you know that vanilla has gluten in it most of the time?
Vanilla ice cream will have gluten in it, because vanilla usually contains alcohol as the first ingredient, which is grain alcohol and not distilled, so it's not safe.
Mouthwash is another one. Unless it's made with a gluten-free alcohol, it's dangerous.
Is dining in restaurants a problem?
There are a lot of things that people don't realize when dining out.
Until you're sitting in front of a chef and you see him put your corn tortillas in the same oil in which he is making flour flautas, you don't realize,
Oh, the corn chips are probably not safe here
Also, some restaurants tell me that I can't have the steamed broccoli because it's legal to take old pasta water and pour it on top of someone's broccoli.
One time I had them put mustard on my potatoes and grill them and the mustard wasn't gluten-free. It contained non-distilled vinegar.
How do you handle summer barbecues?
You take your life in your hands when you go to a barbecue.
But you can help by bringing your own food. Bring the corn and make some other great recipe.
Sometimes, I'll eat before I go places.
Where should people with symptoms of celiac disease go to learn more about it?
National Foundation for Celiac Disease
and the
Celiac Disease Foundation
are both really great [organizations].
I learned a lot from Peter Green, M.D., the director of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University.
He has a book [
Celiac Disease: A Hidden Epidemic
(William Morris)].

At some point in your life, you experience the conflict of trying to determine whether or not what you have is enough, and if you can't find something better. Outside and inside influences feed your insecurities and self-doubts, and it starts to get complicated figuring out where your real priorities should lie. Is there a better boyfriend/girlfriend/job out there that could be a better fit for you? The thing to remember is no matter if it's dating or work, you should first honestly answer the question: am I happy with what I have?
When I started getting serious in a relationship after graduating from college, I recall some family and friends asking me if I should be getting too serious in my relationship so young in my life (despite the fact that I was in my early 20s and don't really consider that so "young"). They asked: shouldn't I be dating as much as I could, now that I was an independent person with my own job and could focus on figuring out what I liked? They didn't think I'd had "enough" dating experience and were worried that I might be doing myself a disservice by not dating more and then getting serious and possibly getting married.
I started having self-doubts and worrying about decisions I'd made. Was it true? Was I being stupid? Naive? Clueless? Green? True, I didn't date a plethora of guys or have an elaborate boyfriend record. Maybe what they were saying was true??? I found myself questioning what my priorities should be. Should I be dating an Asian guy because he might appreciate my culture and understand my family better? Should I be dating someone my own age? Should I be dating my personality opposite or my personality twin? The questions kept coming because I found it difficult to pinpoint what types of guys I should be dating to give me a better idea of what I wanted in a relationship. Because I was freaking myself out over a non-issue, I started creating problems in the relationship that didn't exist.
Then it hit me.
Why was I doing this? Why was I letting what people think is best for me drive me to making decisions, when they didn't know what I want or need in a relationship? Why am I getting peer-pressured to date more before delving into a serious relationship when I was happy with the relationship I was in? And because I was happy in my relationship, I decided that I didn't want to ruin a very good thing going to try to find something "better".
Ever since I decided to go freelance, I've had to adapt to the requirements of a freelance lifestyle. One of those requirements is staying on top of contracts (i.e., when they start and when they end) and being proactive in finding work to allow for a smooth transition from one contract to another when one ends. Everyone needs a steady flow of income, whether a fulltime employee or a contract employee, and I'm no different.
Recently I started responding to work inquiries to see what could be the next contract gig. I had already reached out to inquire about renewal for the current contract, and until I saw the actual contract, I was assuming there would be no contract and would have to find something else. (Better be safe than sorry, right?) One of the companies I responded to was looking for a fulltime employee, and my initial reaction was to politely decline since I wanted to stay with freelance/contract opportunities only. However, due to the nature of the work of the company, I responded with interest in the potential opportunity and was subsequently brought in for an interview. I figured: check it out and see if it's something that could make me change my mind about a fulltime position.
Interview Day came. In several hours time, I met with and talked to some really nice and smart folks. During the interview process, though, I realized that there was not a match for the employer and me. From the employer's perspective, they needed someone to work onsite and manage a team as well as work with outsourced developers overseas. From my perspective, I needed a freelance engagement that allowed me to work remotely, was focused entirely on software development, involved zero management, and didn't involve working with any outsourced developers.
Then it hit me.
I already had the perfect freelance contract. I'm able to work remotely (this means home office, coffeehouse, my parents' house in Alabama, etc), I'm working on some really terrific software, I'm working with some absolutely intelligent, hardworking, fun, driven people, and I've got the best manager I've ever had in my entire working career. Why on earth would I want to give all this up? I was already happy with the current contract and decided to put the brakes on the wandering career eye because it made absolutely no sense to look for something else when I was already happy as a lark.
The grass isn't always greener, guys. Always always always listen to your gut. Remember that it's not always about quantity, it's about quality. If you are happy with your current dating and/or work situation, you should stay with it and not ruin a really good thing. Good things in life come few and far between when it comes to dating and work, so always make sure you ask yourself the question "am I happy?" before you go off doing something you'll regret later.

Crews from the City and County of Honolulu's Department of Environmental Services (ENV) will conduct smoke testing of the wastewater collection system in Wahiawa residential areas from Feb. 17-20 and 24-27, 2009.
This is part of the ENV's preventative maintenance program to prevent rainwater from entering the sewer system. ENV crews pump smoke into sewer lines, examine whether any smoke escapes and record its location. The smoke used is non-toxic, harmless and odorless. The smoke is not a fire hazard and does not pose a health hazard to humans or pets.
Tests locate broken pipes, illegal connections, open cleanouts and other paths for runoff that enter the sewer system. Runoff from heavy rain can overwhelm and surcharge the sewer system and treatment plants, causing spills.
ENV plans to smoke test California Ave., Eames St., Hoolulu Rd., Hoomaha St., Kalala St., Kalie St., and Koikoi St., Moala Pl., Moe Moe Pl., Nakula St., Uluwehi St., Uluwehi Pl., Uuku St., Walea St. and Walea Uka Pl.

1920s London brought to life in Biocolour!
Having lived in London for over a year now I'm really starting to feel like this is my second home. I say 'second' because I'll always be a northern bird at heart, but you know, this crazy city has really worked its charm on me since I landed in the leafy suburb of West Acton last February and I'm starting to feel a real affection for the place.
So when one of my buddies in the office showed me this footage of London from 1927 I was a happy little bunny! Recently restored by the BFI, it was originally shot by Claude Friese-Greene nearly 90 years ago. Using a primitive colour process known as Biocolour which was developed by his father, Claude was able to produce one of the first coloured motion pictures ever made.
This little gem has a very surreal air to it, rather quaint and quintessentially British, it has certainly had an impact on not just Londoners but on fellow film lovers around the globe. Kevin Spacey tweeted on the 10th May "Watching makes you feel like you're there" causing the video to go viral, so it would appear I'm a little behind in jumping on the bandwagon with this one. Well better late than never I say, and it's definitely worth a watch so thanks for the heads up Maza!

In its fourth album, "Naomi," the Seattle-based band The Cave Singers transition from the grayer indie-folk style of their earlier albums to a more campfire-esque buoyancy.
For this record, the band added Morgan Henderson (of Past Lives and Fleet Foxes) on bass, and brought on producer Phil Ek, who has worked with the likes of Fleet Foxes, Modest Mouse, and The Shins. This shake-up in personnel combined with the album's cover art, which depicts dark clouds giving way to a sunny sky, drive home the idea that The Cave Singers is heading in a new direction.
The mystic, rainy sound — so characteristic of Pacific Northwest indie rock and the band's first three albums — disappears immediately with its opening song, "Canopy." The snappy, high-pitched vocal style in the first three tracks is similar to Vampire Weekend singer Ezra Koenig's style. The first three tracks aesthetically fuse together as a pleasing opening trilogy, but the album's later transitions aren't as smooth.
Mid-album style varies from track to track ranging from thrashy guitar rifts ("It's a Crime") to slower, warmer reflections ("Evergreens" and "Northern Lights") to happy and poppy ("Shine" and "Easy Way"), resulting in some clunky transitions. The album has many differing styles, all executed well, but lacks fluidity.
Lyrically, "Naomi" explores themes similar to the band's earlier work — addiction, love, and God, to name a few — but promotes a different attitude. There is less grim suffering, and a more redemptive quality to most of the tracks. This is a bright and refreshing change from the band's gloomy third album, "No Witch." The change in tone makes sense: "No Witch" was written during winter, while "Naomi" was written in spring and recorded in summer.
The optimism generally works well, but comes up short several times. "Karen's Car," a bouncy ode to the song's title, is a mundane, low point of the album. The album's closing number, "When the World," is also upbeat and energizing, but its chorus is shallow and cliché: "When the world seems so cold, reach out your hand, I'll be your man, I'll never let you go," sings frontman Pete Quirk, channeling the spirit of every single country and folk singer in recent memory.
As a whole, the album is conspicuously sunnier than the band's past releases. The two closing songs in particular are perfect companions for a road trip down the West Coast on Highway 101, shades donned, feet hanging out the window. While this drastic stylistic shift could attract newer listeners, it runs the risk of alienating longtime fans expecting business as usual.
As for the titular character, "Naomi," Quirk calls her a fictional muse that personifies different themes of the album. The actual name, he just liked the way it sounds. "That's a good name for a boat, or the girl who's a waitress at the diner who you'll never see again, or God," he said in an interview with Stereogum.
Basically, she is whatever you want her to be, which nicely parallels the album's intrinsic messages of redemption and finding peace.
The verdict: "Naomi" diverges in style from earlier albums, but is animated and refreshing.

Fixing America's Immigration System
With more than 11 million undocumented immigrants already residing within the U.S. and more attempting to cross our borders each year, it's clear our current immigration system is badly broken and the status quo is unacceptable. America is a nation founded by immigrants, but it's also a nation founded upon the rule of law, and Claire believes it is imperative that we respect both of these traditions.
Claire supports legal immigration. She opposes granting unconditional amnesty to undocumented immigrants or allowing undocumented immigrants to receive federal assistance.
Bipartisan Reform
In 2013, Claire - a member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee - joined 67 of her colleagues in an overwhelming, bipartisan vote to approve legislation that would dramatically strengthen border security, hold employers who hire undocumented immigrants accountable, punish those who came to the country illegally while putting them on a path to earned citizenship, and reduce the national deficit by hundreds of billions of dollars. The legislation passed the Senate with the support of conservative Republican Senators including Marco Rubio of Florida, John McCain and Jeff Flake of Arizona, and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. The bill was strongly supported by groups including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Missouri Farm Bureau.
The bill's border security provisions would add 20,000 enforcement agents to the U.S.-Mexico border, while financing the construction of 700 miles of border fence and aerial drones to monitor the border. Republican Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee, who helped draft the border security provisions and who supported the overall bill, described the measures as "almost overkill."
According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, the legislation would reduce the deficit by nearly $1 trillion over the next two decades.
Claire said of her vote: "Our immigration system is badly broken... I supported this solution because it dramatically strengthens border security, punishes employers who hire undocumented immigrants, and includes stiff consequences for those who came here illegally - while ensuring they start paying into the system."
To date, the U.S. House of Representatives has failed to act on the legislation.
Employer Enforcement
Since her first candidacy for U.S. Senate, Claire has consistently fought to enforce penalties against employers who knowingly hire undocumented immigrants, which she has highlighted as critical to curbing the problem of illegal immigration. She believes the promise of employment and social services act as a magnet in attracting immigrants across our border. Claire believes that if U.S. employers were unwilling to hire undocumented immigrants for fear of serving jail time themselves, then immigrants would be less likely to illegally cross our border. She believes that any effort at immigration reform must include stronger punishments for employers who hire illegal immigrants.
Early in her first term, Claire repeatedly fought to persuade the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement Program to intensify its efforts to crack down on those who entice and employ undocumented workers. Finally, in 2009, the new Administration agreed to Claire's requests and issued new guidelines and regulations that are increasing attention and resources on prosecuting employers who violate our nation's immigration laws.
Border Security
In 2010, Claire teamed up with Republican Senators John McCain and Jon Kyl of Arizona to introduce and pass into law an investment of $600 million in border security without adding a dime to the country's deficit. The bill provided much-needed resources to capture, adjudicate and remove those seeking to illegally cross our southwest border including additional law enforcement personnel, communications equipment, unmanned aerial vehicle surveillance on the border, and additional judicial capabilities. To offset these costs, the bill raised fees on companies that choose to outsource high-paying American jobs.
Claire also led a bipartisan effort to crack down on border tunnels. In 2011, she joined a bipartisan group of her colleagues to introduce the Border Tunnel Prevention Act. This legislation was designed to prevent the use of underground tunnels along the U.S.-Mexico border. The bill increased penalties for building tunnels under the border and required the Department of Homeland Security to report all efforts to combat the problem. This legislation became law in 2012.
Legal Immigration Reform
The fraudulent issuance and use of student visas allowed some of the September 11th attackers to enter the country legally. In 2011, Claire led an effort in the Senate to crack down on "sham universities" that provide student visas to foreigners in order to gain entry into the U.S. After demanding a Government Accountability Office investigation into the issue, Claire joined Republican Senators Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Jeff Sessions of Alabama, to introduce legislation to increase the penalties for school officials who fraudulently seek federal accreditation for such "sham" institutions.
Claire recognizes the need to attract and retain top talent to fill highly-skilled labor gaps in our economy. However, she believes these programs must give American workers a fair shot. That's why Claire has consistently voted in favor of strengthening the H-1B visa, a program that allows U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in highly skilled, specialty occupations. She has supported efforts to strengthen this program by cutting down on fraud and increasing enforcement of laws already on the books. For example, in 2007 she voted in favor of an amendment to the Homeland Security Appropriations Bill that would have ordered employment eligibility verification improvements for the H-1B program. And in 2009, Claire voted for legislation to ensure that U.S. employers seeking to hire H-1B visa holders meet all necessary H-1B requirements.
Law Enforcement
Claire believes that local and state law enforcement also has a critical role to play in combating illegal immigration. In 2010, she questioned Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano on incidents in Missouri in which local law enforcement were instructed to release illegal immigrants from their custody, back to the workplace, and urged the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement to improve coordination with local officials. Claire's work helped to secure additional training for Missouri law enforcement on how to set guidelines on detaining illegal immigrants and investigate reports of undocumented workers.
The DREAM Act
As a Christian, Claire takes to heart the teaching that the sins of the father should not be visited upon their children. That is why she supports providing a path to earned citizenship for undocumented children of good moral standing who attend college or join the military. In December 2010, Claire voted in favor of the DREAM Act - legislation that would grant conditional permanent resident status to any undocumented young person who entered the United States before his or her 16th birthday and has been present in the United States for at least five years.

I decided to try my luck on Lake Grapevine. I've never fished lake Grapevine but as you can see I had a good day. My teammate, Brandon Carr, and I caught about 15 bass. As we were ready to pack up my last bite proved to be a big one! I caught my largest bass to date. The fish weighed in at over 7 lbs. After weighing him and a couple photos I threw him back…

A fruit salad for the months when fresh fruit is scarce, a combination of fresh, frozen and canned fruit, brightened with lemon zest and Grand Marnier.
Spring: It's here! Or in the North, as the calendar promises, it's coming, truly, it is!
Outside, spring's arrival is manifested in nature's simple gifts. Tiny rabbit tails on the pussy willows. Crocuses poking out of the earth as if to thumb their colorful noses at remaining bits of snow cover. The first flush of green in the tree tops.
When it comes to fresh fruit, however, we must do without a bit longer. Whether you make this fruit salad in late winter or early spring, it makes the wait a bit easier for it's as good as any summer batch.
Makes 8 cups
- 12 ounces frozen strawberries, sugared or unsugared
- 2 tablespoons sugar (4 tablespoons if strawberries are unsugared)
- 15 ounces canned peaches (no sugar added), drained and chopped
- 15 ounces canned pineapple (fresh if available), drained and sliced
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 tart apple, skin on, chopped
- 8 ounces seedless red grapes
- Peel from one lemon, slivered (essential)
- ½ cup Grand Marnier orange-flavored liqueur
If needed, cut the strawberries into bite-size pieces, then stir the strawberries and sugar together in a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and combine well. Transfer to a clear glass bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour, stirring occasionally to distribute the sugar and juices.
While a Summer Fruit Salad is lovely, during the winter months fresh fruit (if it can be found at all) is just too expensive and not all that good. This recipe is surprisingly good, a perfect mix of fresh, frozen and canned fruit. These days, I use only 1/4 cup Grand Marnier and also substitute other fruity liqueurs or Marsala or dry sherry. For a crowd, to my taste, it's best to keep the same amount of pineapple (which can take over, a bit) and instead add more apple and banana. I also like to add fresh tangerines cut into thirds, half circles of kiwi, a handful of frozen sweet or sour cherries. Canned pears are too soft for this fruit salad. For dieters and diabetics, Splenda can be substituted for the sugar. This recipe comes from Olga, my father's long-time companion. I'm grateful to have it in my recipe box!

Some thoughtful soul in Hanley Wood's D.C. office forwarded me a review copy of Bill Bryson's new book, At Home: A Short History of Private Life. It was a pleasant surprise. I've enjoyed Bryson's books on hiking the Appalachian Trail, the English language, Australia, and (almost literally) everything. I'm especially enjoying this one, because it covers a subject of obvious interest: the history of houses and domestic life.
Good one

"a good free program"
This is a beautiful program. Very easy to use IF you don't start comparing it with other programs. I have been using PAF and as that is not being updated I was looking for another-just in case. Does everything almost. It is available in 35 languages.
So far I have been having a problem with installing pictures....but that may be me not the program. I would also like to be able to see other marriages displayed.
There are many features to this program that are different from PAF, such as maps,the ability to search on their site(whish is small now but should build with more people using the program. You just have to make a gedcom from your current program and install it into the program. You cannot duplicate entries as the program tells you that the entries are already there. The free program gives you a website also. You can update to the premium program which they advertise as cheap, but I think $75.00 is not cheap. The free program works just fine. The premium allows bigger trees and a few other gadgets. I only downloaded this yesterday so I am no pro .

Sidran began in 1986 out of a family tragedy when a beloved family member who had been abused in childhood was subsequently diagnosed with serious, debilitating psychiatric problems and a related life-threatening medical disorder. Frustrated in their search for help for the complex needs of their family member at the time, the Sidran family convened professionals from a variety of disciplines, support program representatives, and national organizations to determine how they could best help their own loved one, and others. With each meeting it became apparent that gaps in basic understanding existed in service delivery, continuity of care, public policy, and sound research.
Sidran's constituency is made up of any individuals or organizations touched by the effects of trauma, including
• adults, adolescents, and children who have experienced or witnessed traumatic events,
• supportive friends and family members,
• health, mental health, crisis, public safety, and victims services professionals
• support networks, schools, faith communities, and more.

Thumbs up to the Park County Commission's decision to give $10,000 to assist in building a World War I memorial in Cody.
That first "war to end all wars" — a title that sadly went unfulfilled — claimed 9 million lives, including 60 Wyoming residents. Two of them, William Francis Pittinger and Gay W. Hughes, had ties to Powell, and the American Legion post here is named in their honor.
Rich Crandall is no longer the director of the Wyoming Department of Education but he is still a state employee "for a short period of time."
"He is currently working for the Governor through the transition to answer any questions that may arise," according to an email response from Renny MacKay, Gov. Matt Mead's communications director.
The city of Powell is shifting gears on a hauling contract.
The city will seek bids on hauling its municipal solid waste to a landfill. A legal notice in today's paper announces that bids will be accepted for the hauling contract until 10 a.m. Wednesday, April 30. City Administrator Zane Logan said the request for bids was on the city website by 9 a.m. Monday.
If you moved into a vacant home that you didn't own, and refused to leave it when ordered to do so, you'd be wrong.
If you didn't pay your utility bill because you disagreed with a government policy, you'd be wrong. If you then threatened to shoot a cop who accompanied the utility worker who came to shut off your service, you'd be extremely wrong.
Decision had been scheduled for Monday but Logan says more time needed
The Powell City Council has junked a plan to make a decision Monday night on where to take the city's garbage.
City Administrator Zane Logan said Wednesday the issue will not be on the agenda for the next council meeting. It was a reversal of a statement made less than two hours earlier.
2-hour downtown parking limit kept, but council says businesses need to help themselves
The Powell City Council considered dropping the two-hour parking rule in downtown, but after a discussion agreed to keep it — and rarely enforce it.
Former Sen. Alan Simpson is making his pro-same sex marriage position even more public.
Simpson speaks out in favor of gay unions in a 30-second TV commercial that will soon air in Wyoming and other Western states.
Thumbs up to spring.
We're so glad it's FINALLY getting warmer and more pleasant outside that all we have are thumbs up today. In the spirit of spring, let's call them green thumbs.
A Powell teenager who had been missing since the weekend has been found and is safe, the Park County Sheriff's Office said Thursday morning.
"The Park County Sheriff's Office wishes to express our appreciation to the concerned citizens who provided information aiding in our investigation and to those who provided comfort and support to the family," the office said in a posting on its Facebook page.
Bad money chases out good, Sir Thomas Gresham famously said in 1558, commenting on how people chose to disperse coins made of inferior material and hoard those of greater value.
The same thing goes for ideas, it seems to us. Among the weaker information that has been passed about in recent years is a fear of vaccinations for children. Since 1998, sparked by a deeply flawed study released by a corrupt English researcher, millions of people have grown wary of vaccinating their children.

Albo973 5pts Ok, for the record so that everyone is clear. Miami fans of what ever sport you follow, you are not the worst sports fans but are far from being the best sports fans and this is in general terms and not as an individual. Its just the number of real loyal fans in Miami are always gonna be out numbered by the older and larger cities. It takes decades to have the soiled and flourished rich sports history but one day you guys will be there. It's the other Miami fans that give the loyalist a bad name, the one's we call band wagons. I know people that have been heat fans since they lived in S. Florida and I've met those that became fan's when you guys got Shaq and even last year when you guys got Lebron or the worst are the fans that join in because its the "in" thing to do and don't really care cause they want to join in on the fun and not be left out. Look at the floorside seats and tell me if some of these people really follow sports, they're just there because they got money and want to socialize and showoff. Maybe a few but not all, just sayin'. Its a great destination and will get better eventually, you just got to wait it out. Think of " field of dreams" eventually it will come but we got to be realistic also.
Albo973 5pts I guess living in Uganda, Cuba, Iran, Etheopia, and places like where you have very little to no rights at all must be delightful and leaving a country so you can live freely is just stupid and lacking of self-respect like you said. Easily said when you are born in America. Oh, and before you call me a maricon I would have you know sir that I am straighter than the pole your mother dances on.
Paporad 5pts If you live in Miami and you dont understand, even the mispelled spanish words from pepe, your a big sapingo. Does that really bother you cmon dont be such a comepinga.
Jose Marchese 5pts All that shit he said about the haters that are from Miami is true. They just wanna get attention cuz they swear it makes them look badass...lol clase de come pingas
A Yahoo! user 5pts What are you talking about? The last Dolphins game not to sell out was on October 18, 1998....where have you been my friend? 14 seasons, many of which have been horrendous, of consecutive sell-outs. Yes, some were bought up at the last minute by local TV stations, but its been 14 years. Dolphins fans have now had 2 full generations to see their team, and that is what every team needs.....generations of fans that builds allegiance to a team. With the Marlins, wie're less than half way there.
Ivonne J 5pts Mijito....no seas tan ignorante!!! So what if ppl that jst got here want to celebrate??WTF!!! What's really bad and the point of this article is the HATE that these commentators and the country feel for the HEAT!! I was jst in Boston and had a guy tell me he was praying that LeBron"s injury was a torn acl! Disgusting!!! You should be ashamed to say that u r Cuban or whatever and "don't believe in any pride"! That statement is downright shameful! Although I am not Cuban...I could never, ever agree with you that Cubans are followers not leaders! You state that "you give credit to the gringos", and then you state "these idiots will stand up and make a mess", are these idiots the same ppl that allowed your Cuban family to enter into this country? The country for which you feel no pride? I would state that although you dont think so...your family did lead inasmuch as they left Cuba to come to this great Country and give you a better life. Too bad your are such and Ungrateful, Malparido, Mamatranca, Cometranca, and lastly as Pepe Billete would say COMEPINGA!!!
Olga 5pts oye papito eres tremendo comepinga. What the eff' are you talking about the generations have gotten darker... que clase de estupido eres. Spaniards loved dark meat honey. Never heard of the poem "y tu abuela adonde esta" by Luis Carbonell??? It is a critcism of Cubans that deny having black in their blood. It was written en el ano de la bomba... this isn't something relatively new. "Cubans" such as yourself that, when, are called out as being racist, say "yoooo racista?!?!?, pero si yo viva en Guanabacoa, y todos mis amigos eran negros". Tu Crees que los cuerpos y los culos que tienen las Cubanas es de mentira? No papito, the traits of the motherland are very strong. Mi vida I sense that you are un Cubano arrepentido.
Luis Gonzalez Jr 5pts im cuban but i dont believe in any pride especially to my own race but the fact is yea through out the years the generations have changed to the darker heritage, that has happened through time but wasnt the majority a long time ago. i was trying to insinuate about being a follower people cant name more then the 3 players of the heat and they go buck wild for shit they dont know about, ill give more credit to the gringos that burn their cars and flip them who know everything, these idiots will stand up and make a mess for something stupid but if it comes to politics to make a stand or a protest they stay quiet. majority of cubans are followers not leaders
CubanPride 5pts This is the most ignorant statement I've ever read. "3black basketball players represent a city of Cubans"? Really? I guess the fact that a good majority of the notable athletes and musicians that have come out of he island being black is irrelavent huh? Did u know that MORE than 60 percent of the population on the island right now is black u stupid fuck? Probably not, cuz ur just a racist idiot who just yells "cuban pride" without actually knowing anything about his heretige. And FYI, the 2 most popular sports on the island are baseball and Judo. Do u see many Judo competitions being hosted in miami, this being the mekka of Cuban tradition and all? no right? It's called assimilation dipshit. Look it up.
Luis Gonzalez Jr 5pts Words of the wise from Pepe billete. . .NOT REALLY. who would of known 3 black basketball players can represent a city full of Cubans that their heritage was more into baseball. This is where the term bandwagon comes in good; people that might not even know the game just getting into the country go crazy SURE
Luis Gonzalez Jr 5pts pepe billete a figure over 14 inches with a fist up its rear, he looks more like the compinga and team pepe writing in this for him

Recently as most of you know Evie came down with a mild virus, and even though (thankfully) it was a mild one, it was one that required a lot more of my time with her than with just about anything else. If I am completely honest I would tell you that I kind of loved getting those extra baby snuggles. But since she was unwell, I was more or less forced to unplug from most online things for almost a week. Sure, I got on facebook here and there, and I checked my email for pressing things but overall I let things slide, because most of it could wait.
Once our baby girl started looking on the upside I knew it was probably time to start jumping back into things, though I found it hard. Not only because I had a few days to excuse my late responses with a legit excuse, but because being away from the online world sent a breath of fresh air deep down into my soul and sent a few unexpected gifts along with it…
1. Perspective. I wasn't fretting about my facebook page, or growing numbers or why my page suddenly went down a few numbers. I actually hate the number thing on facebook, not because some pages have more than I do (in fact MOST pages that I can think of have a gazillion more than I do!) but because there are days that I post something and no sooner does it get 'seen' by some that a few decide to unfollow. I'm like "Dude, why did you like my page in the first place? Did my pic of some random quote that I like happen to offend you?" See? Perspective is such a good thing. It really doesn't even matter. It also made me keenly aware of how narcissistic blogging, facebook, instagram and the whole shabang can be… #yikes.
2. Square One. I felt like getting away gave me time to think about the future a little bit. And why I even started this blog in the first place and all the things that came along after that. Maybe I can start over, start new. Or just keep being me. Not quite tied down to a "theme" blog, just write. Because that's who I am. Kind of all over the place. A ridiculous, impatient whirlwind who sometimes likes to write, sometimes like to paint and always wishes she had more time to read.
3. Time. I found my laptop not being open for hours and hours and hours. I'd glance at it in the evening after the kids were finally down, and it was refreshing to know I hadn't frustrated myself with emails and messages unnecessarily all day long before I could even do anything about them, while the kids were awake.
4. Living. I think we did more things out of sheer desperation this past week, we got pretty inventive to pass the time since we were pretty much homebound. We built forts, painted pumpkins, read stacks of books and cleaned out Bubby's toy box to donate the toys he has outgrown. And I didn't get a single shot of any of those things on Instagram or facebook. I didn't feel the need to live through my phone. I was just living. And it was AWESOME. Though I might take a picture of the pumpkins! Bubby insisted on having a "Captain America" pumpkin.
5. Freedom. Like I mentioned the facebook thing above, I didn't feel the pressuring need to pump out something to grow numbers anymore. This has come and gone since I opened my page on facebook a few years ago. Sometimes I don't care, sometimes I do. But there is so much freedom in letting go, because the people who care about what you do, and maybe even why you do it – they'll be there. The ones who might have hopped along for the wrong reasons, they probably won't and that's okay. There is freedom to be myself. And to embrace whatever that might look like on any given day.
6. Focus. When I did get online I found myself more focused on what needed to be done, just so I could be done and move onto something that didn't involve my phone or laptop. I feel like I'm getting more done in a less amount of time, even now that I'm "back". Let's just hope it sticks!
7. Me Time. One thing I did as soon as Evie started feeling on the up side was paint my toenails! Do you know how long it had been? No, and you do not want to know. Too long, that's how long. After taking a hiatus from social media, I had the courage to just say "wait" to my work load and take a few minutes and break out the nail polish.
Unplugging, it's so good.
I might try it again before long.

E&j Gallo Pinot Grigio
E&j Gallo
- California
- United States
Pinot Grigio is fast becoming one of the most widely planted white wine grape varietals in the world, due to the fact that the wines made from it are increasing in popularity with global audiences, and the fact it has the ability to match with a wide variety of different foods. This grape varietal is notably for its color, or colors, which range from grayish blue to amber, from pink to purple depending on the climatic conditions and other such variables in the place where they are grown. Pinot Grigio grapes tend to ripen early, yet have a relatively high natural sugar content. This makes them ideal for a wide range of winery methods, and they can either be drank young and slightly sweet, or can be fermented more for extra dryness or a higher alcohol level.
Since the 18th century, California has been a hugely important and influential wine region, acting as a trailblazer for other New World wine regions and utilizing an important blend of traditional and contemporary practices, methods and techniques relating to their wine production. Split into four key areas the North Coast, the Central Coast, the South Coast and the Central Valley Californian wineries make the most of their ideal climate and rich variety of terrains in order to produce a fascinating range of wines made with a long list of different fine grape varietals. Today, the state has almost half a million acres under vine, and is one of the world's largest wine exporters, with Californian wines being drunk and enjoyed all across the globe.
For three hundred years now, the United States has been leading the New World in wine production, both in regards to quantity and quality. Wine is actually produced in all fifty states across the country, with California leading the way by an enormous margin. Indeed, as much as eighty-nine percent of all wines to come out of the United States are produced in California, where the fertile soils and sloping mountain sides, coupled with the long, hot summers provide ideal conditions for producing high quality, European style red, white and rosé wines. With over a million acres of the country under vine, the United States sits comfortably as the fourth largest wine producer in the world, where imported grape varietals from all over the Old World are processed using a successful blend of traditional and contemporary techniques.

How can social skills be developed?now the important question is , how can social skills be developed?
False beliefs and developing social skillsBrave people are the ones who manage to go forward even if they feel afraid. Some people on the other hand prefer to run or to escape instead of facing their problems directly. Because those people hate to admit the fact that they lack courage they try to find excuses such as "i dont look good", "i am so fat"...etc just to allow themselves to escape while feeling good. If you mistakenly got involved in that sort of self deception then remind yourself of the fact that you will never build your social skills if you didn't become brave!

Proper licensure
Published on -6/13/2014, 9:56 AM

E-Mail This Story
Proper licensure
I read with great interest the editorial by Patrick Lowry titled "Fake teachers." I have served as licensure officer for Fort Hays State University for 20 years and have seen many regulations passed by the Kansas State Department of Education, including the opening of an alternative licensure pathway in 2003.
The new law that goes into effect July 1 that will allow schools to hire people with degrees and backgrounds in STEM areas (science, technology, engineering, math) concerns me for the reasons Lowry pointed out: They will not be expected to have or obtain educational foundations in such areas as how to develop a lesson plan, classroom management, working with diverse and exceptional populations and differentiated instruction among the many other areas teacher education programs focus on.
The Legislature is seeming to try to solve a problem that doesn't exist -- with the exception of a few instances when an appropriate educator cannot be found. There already is an alternative licensure route in place in Kansas called Transition to Teaching (T2T) that initially was developed by KSDE and has been flourishing for the past 11 years. This program allows someone with a bachelor's degree in a specific content area or the equivalent major (all secondary areas, not just STEM) to be hired to teach that subject under a restricted teaching license, providing they have passed the content test required by KSDE. The key differentiating factor from the new regulation is during the T2T program, they receive 24 credit hours of specific pedagogy while on the job.
FHSU's program has grown to include 360 people who have completed the program and been hired in more than 160 school districts in Kansas -- the largest alternative licensure program in Kansas. The feedback we receive from teachers going through the T2T program is they are confident in their content knowledge, but they need help with the "how to teach and manage a classroom" part.
I believe there is a specific hierarchy in the hiring process: Fully licensed teachers who have completed a teacher education program is the goal. If that search does not meet the need, then Transition to Teaching is a viable alternative for quality teaching and education.
The last choice should be the person hired with no education training and no plans to obtain it.
