Patrick W. Hunt was born on the island of Jamaica and immersed himself in the West Indian and African Culture. He was influenced by both his love of art and music. Patrick grew up listening to music and took piano lessons at the age of six. The most pivotal time for Patrick's development as a painter began when he immigrated to the United States at the age of 13 and began taking art classes in high school. Patrick attended Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York for a year prior to enlisting in the U.S. Navy. He lived in Hawaii and other parts of the Pacific and toured many of the islands during this period. During his travels Patrick became a true lover of painting. His use of oils, acrylics and water colors, shows in his works the...

On this page… |
In a discrete-event simulation, a server stores entities for some length of time, called the service time, and then attempts to output the entity. During the service period, the block is said to be serving the entity that it stores. An everyday example of a server is a person (a bank teller, a retail cashier, etc.) with whom you perform a transaction with a projected duration.
The service time for each entity is computed when it arrives, which contrasts with the inherent unknowability of the storage time for entities in queues. If the next block does not accept the arrival of an entity that has completed its service, however, then the server is forced to hold the entity longer.
Distinguishing features of different servers include
The number of entities it can serve simultaneously, which could be finite or infinite
Characteristics of, or the method of computing, the service times of arriving entities
Whether the server permits certain arriving entities to preempt entities that are already stored in the server
Tip In the absence of preemption, a finite-capacity server does not accept new arrivals when it is already full. You can place a queue before each finite-capacity server, establishing a place for entities to stay while they are waiting for the server to accept them. Otherwise, the waiting entities might be stored in various different locations in the model and the situation might be more difficult for you to predict or analyze. |
In some cases, a server in a model is similar to an analogous aspect of the real-world system being modeled. For example, you might use a server to represent
A person (such as a bank teller) who performs a transaction with each arriving customer
A transmitter that processes and sends messages
A machine that assembles parts in a factory
A computer that executes programs
You might use an infinite-capacity server to represent a delaying mechanism. An example of this is in the subsystem in Build a Hybrid Model.
In some cases, a server in a model does not arise in an obvious way from the real-world system but instead is included for modeling purposes. A common modeling technique involves a delay of duration zero, that is, an infinite server whose service time is zero, either to break an algebraic loop or to provide a place for an entity to reside while a preceding block updates its output signals. For details and examples, see Interleaving of Block Operations and Loops in Entity Paths Without Sufficient Storage Capacity.

Recently we've received some questions about what cars contain "variable cam timing" engines. Since such engines are not permitted under the 2015 rules package here are the common manufacturer/engine combo's (this clarification has been added to the rules page as well):
Honda VTEC
Ford Zetec
Toyota VVT-i & VVTL-i
GM Ecotec
Mitsubishi MIVEC
Cars with these engines are NOT permitted. This is not a complete list and is ultimately the responsibility of the driver to make sure their car does not utilize variable cam engines. If you have a question about the legality of your car please contact the speedway and we will be happy to help you research your car.
Rule Addendum
(Section: Bumpers – Subsection 2)
Aftermarket nose and tail covers will not be permitted. Stock bumper covers are permitted. Bumper covers are not required.

Life with a Toddler
> Bedtimes and Naps
My twins are 14 months old and have always slept with me. They nursed to sleep for the first 6 months, but we had to wean early, so they switched to falling asleep at the bottle at 6 months. Recently, they've stopped falling asleep to the bottle and are showing less interest in bottles so I'm hoping we can start bottle weaning. But I have no idea how to get them to sleep!
They started a new day care yesterday and did great, but won't nap. They scream when placed in cribs or pack and plays and so we've never used them and don't even own cribs. The day care is a small in-home care (attachment parenting-friendly with just one other child, an infant).
I feel totally powerless. The evenings have been awful. They fall asleep around 10 or 11pm each with a parent on a floor mattress in a separate room. But they are obviously tired around 8pm, and we just can't get them to sleep. I feel bad for their new caretaker. She's not really sure how to get them to sleep, either. She's using nap mats currently, but can do pack and plays. (We have one we're not using we could send and she offered to get another one.)
Thoughts? If your cosleeping toddler goes to day care, do they nap in cribs? What tools do I have other than bottles? (I so wish we could have practiced extended breastfeeding. That's a whole issue in and of itself.
I am in a similar boat with my 18 month old. He still nurses but does not want to sleep away from me. I am totally fine with him bed sharing but he wants to play not sleep. I am exhausted and so is dh. Not sure what to do and I really don't like CIO.

Ohmygod.....I just TOTALLY lost it. I have been following this case from the beginning and have teared up, sure. I have 2 girls. One just turned 5, one is 18 months.
We have since moved but in our first home where I had my 5yo as a newborn, the Pooh decal on Caylee's wall is the same one. It came from Target I think, in 2004. It was available for a while but I am not sure when it was discontinued, after we moved in 2007 I could not find one to replace it at our new home- when we moved we left it on the wall, it was a kind of adhesive that came in a pack of 3 and you just wet them and put them up like wallpaper....when I saw that, the pic right beside it shows Caylee on her bed and I ALSO recognize the blue Easter Bunny Pooh my girls have- it was bought for my 5yo, it was either a Disney store or Disney WORLD exclusive, I can't remember because we have so many Poohs...my baby, my 18 month old, loves that Easter Pooh so much she had her portrait made with it for Easter this year and sleeps with it.
What this has to do with Caylee and the Pooh blanket is that my girls both love Pooh, especially at Caylee's age....and I just LOST IT! This breaks my heart it just shatters me that someone could hurt a child....in this case it seems Casey is allegedly guilty of this, her own mother and OMG it just kills me, I just LOST it! The WInnie the Poohs and baby pics send me over the edge. WTF Casey............how could you??? allegedly..
That's what I'm thinking too. I wonder also if the bruhaha about the autopsy release wasn't about the duct tape or bones, but rather small things that will make ppl say WTH? KWIM?
"Three things in human life are important: The first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind." ~ Henry James
I tend to agree with you, Kat. I think it's the small details that they want to cover up at this point.
I don't have time to research all of the posts that were done about this blanket, and CA statments about it, but I do clearly remember reading that it looked at 6 ways to sunday and it's here somewhere.
"Three things in human life are important: The first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind." ~ Henry James
I am speculating that the way the Pooh blanket was tied to Caylee's bedding is that either it came as part of a complete crib set in one container or alternatively, it just might be a matching Classic Pooh blanket. The problem with the JC Penny purchase being another Classic Pooh blanket is that JC Penny no longer carries Classic Pooh - so even if Casey or Cindy went there to buy it, they might not have had it at that time. Target carries it, though, however the color way is different.
Forgive me if this has already been posted, but I ran across a photo of Caylee sitting on her Pooh blanket. Just FYI.
Everytime I come to this thread I choke up. There is something seriously wrong and demented when Winnie the Pooh and decomp is in the same sentence. I think the jury will feel the same way.
Here you go, Kat. This thread is all about CA's statements about the missing blanket when Caylee was found in December:
There is a fair amount of discussion about it here, too:
Thank you potatohead I'm going to read it today!
"Three things in human life are important: The first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind." ~ Henry James
I'm going to take my time and read those threads but this was the first post in one of the threads...
[ame="http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3331359&postcount=1"]Websleuths Crime Sleuthing Community - View Single Post - CA Knew Winnie The Pooh Blanket Missing[/ame]
The link to the article is still active. It is dated:
Updated: 8:10 am EST February 19, 2009
IIRC, it was assumed that it could have been from her bed. A description of the blanket found with Caylee hadn't been released until the autopsy reports come out. (I could be wrong about that and I could have missed an article prior)....Caylee's grandmother waited until after her remains were found to tell investigators Caylee's Winnie the Pooh blanket was missing from her bed. It could be the same Pooh blanket found with Caylee's remains...
IIRC, one of the Detectives entered the home to present a search warrant (after Caylee had been found) and it was then that CA told them that a winnie the pooh blanket of Caylee's was missing.
I know that there is far more damning evidence against KC, but this has always bothered me. On many levels. Especially since I always gave CA and GA distance from deep scrutiny because of their loss of a grandchild. However, given that I have gone back and reread many statements now made by CA since Caylee was found and since the release of the autopsy report to the public yesterday, I am starting to think that she might have deliberately mislead the Orlando LE.
"Three things in human life are important: The first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind." ~ Henry James
--respectfully snipped
Glad we're having this Winnie the Pooh blanker review.....this is all so clear again! Likewise, I had given George and Cindy a deep-scrutiny pass and remember when this happened becoming angry with CA for not being more forthcoming about that blanket. That was the moment I accepted that CA's agenda was to focus on protecting KC, not discovering the truth. In CA's world lying by omission is not really lying. I think LE felt the same, because isn't this when 'obstruction of justice' charges started being tossed around in re. George & Cindy? I know there were several other instances that concerned LE that they were withholding info, but pretty sure this was one of the first.
I believe Cindy only came forward with the info that a Winnie the Pooh blanket was missing from her home when LE showed up in December (after remains were found) w/ a search warrant. IIRC, she stated that she has a WTP blanket missing as she was looking at the search warrant LE gave her. After finding a Winnie the Pooh blanket with the remains they must have had Winnie the Pooh blankets, etc listed on the search warrant. IMO, there is no way Cindy just discovered their Winnie the Pooh blanket missing in December. She knew way before then.
I don't think that LE will press charges against them either. I just wanted to look at the big picture here. Thank you all for your input
"Three things in human life are important: The first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind." ~ Henry James
i havent read back yet....but i have been trying to find a pic of the shirt that was described as being found with caylee....and i came across this blanket that sounded like what was described as being found....what do you think? ME mentions piglet on pooh's back ...on the blanket....
i found this one too
i hate to bump my own post....but here are two blanks that show piglet riding on pooh back....the comforter from the crib set that is seen in the people's M....piglet is on pooh's tummy....not back....

Takenote. CuriousTwo found a picture of Caylee sitting on her bed with a blanket that matches the description of the one found with Caylee in DEC. Piglet is on Pooh's back.
Also, above I had found a picture of CA in front of the bed from a people magazine spread done a while back. I think it's in my initial post on this thread, this page.
I don't know if the blanket is a comforter that was taken from Caylee's bed, or a blanket that went with the set...
All I know is that the autopsy report confirmed in my mind that the blanket found with Caylee matches the set she had in her bedroom in her home (from description). I really do think the Prosecution may bring this up at trial and use it. However, given all the other information in the autopsy it's not the only thing that is going to put her away.
I thought to myself months before Caylee was found, Please let there be something that points to her Mother...Then I remembered KC saying in the Jail house visit video...reminding CA that the "Nanny" had a key to CA's home.
The whole thing just bothers me is all. Not that important.
"Three things in human life are important: The first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind." ~ Henry James
The above Bolded:
Please forgive for not citing where I remember this from, but I remember distinctly Cindy telling the world that she still washed Caylee's bedding every week. She knew from the get-go that the blanket was missing. Washing the new, replacement bedding sure would make it appear as though it was Caylee's original bedding.
Here's that pic from the people article:
In her Greta interview- the 'exclusive' walk through of the anthony home in August. When Greta asked her if that was how the room had always been, CA said it was , except for there was normally a winnie the pooh blanket on her bed.
Bringing this over from an old thread that I posted on.....
On dec 20th, I obtained another search warrant for the Anthony residence on Hopespring Dr. The SW was signed by Judge Perry who sealed both the warrant and the affidavit. This SW was base on additional evidence recovered since Dec 11. Cindy and George Anthony were home when the warrant was executed. While standing in the living room waiting to begin our search, Cynthia read the copy of the warrant we gave her. In the presence of us all, she made a statement that one of Caylee's "winnie the pooh" blankets was missing. George was visibly upset and angry at our presence. He was confrontational with us until cynthia had him wait on the back patio.

I agree. I went to a baby shower today. I went to get her a present this morning. She had registered at a store for items that she wanted. The baby's room is being designed in Winnie the Pooh. I just couldn't buy anything with Pooh on it. I got her diapers and a baseball outfit instead.

Although a frequent traveler, I rarely travel to cities that feature Westin's. Add to that the corporate travel policies (price) and my status with another hotelier, this was an uncommon experience. I scored a very good deal from their website, and headed in.
You would have thought I was a member at the highest level of the Starwood Loyalty program (I am not) based upon the complimentary upgrade, the polite and friendly staff, the excellent service, and the great room. I was sad I was only there for one night.
The Westin is attached to the unique Hallmark Crown Center retail area that has several restaurants, a Crayola Store and just a block form LEGOLAND and Sea Life. Although there for business, I can certainly see my self returning with the kids very soon.
The lobby and common areas look like they were just redone, with a lobby that has plenty of electrical outlets, seating, and a very nice gift shop without gift shop prices. Every employee I encountered seemed to think they were at Disneyland or some other very friendly place.

Magazines, I basically purge once every couple months. I might keep one or the other recipe or even entire issues, but mostly I throw them out. I hardly ever make the same thing twice, so there's little use for me keeping any given recipe around. I'd store it and foret about it and never make it again anyway. There are millions more that I have not even read yet, why stick to one I've already made? I don't read the same book twice either and hardly watch the same movie twice (with some exceptions).
I do "read around" in cookbooks just about every day though, and my wishlist on Amazon is well fertilized too, it grows like weeds!

Create your own cookbook, taking a bit of this and a bit of that. It might differ in size, but then you can work around that with computers if it's a real bother.
I have no cookbook at home!
I can find any recipies in my memorry, Mother and internet!!! =)

Typically the books never enter the kitchen.
I use them as research, jot down the recipe in part or in whole, then take that to the kitchen.
My books look brand new, though they are well used.

Seriously, as your cooking skills develop, you'll find yourself in the same boat as the rest of us---maybe even become like those of us who read cookbooks the way others read novels.
Jim, I'm impressed. My cookbooks are in the kitchen all the time. In fact, there are two 6-foot shelves in the kitchen that carry some of them. The rest are in custom-built floor-to-ceiling shelving units. Those bookcases are in the hall, only cuz there's no room for them elsewhere.
When I decide on a recipe to try, that book goes into the kitchen with me. If it's a keeper, I then type up a recipe card---along with any adaptations I've made. I also write notes and comments right in the books. They are, after all, tools.
What astounds me, in hindsight, is how little they get messed up by spills etc.
In terms of arrangement, I'm similar to Chris, but not quite as organized. The books are arranged by gross category, and grouped within the catagory as necessary. For instance, all of the Meditarranean cookbooks are together, further broken down by country or region as necessary. Baking would be a category, broken down by bread and other baking. And so on.

Though I'm not as religious about it as I should be, when something turns out exceptionally tasty I enter into a recipe program called Big Oven and tag it as "favorite". Overall I like the program because I can either type the recipe in manually, copy a recipe into memory from online, or put it onto my printer and scan it in. There is a small utility that allows one to highlight a portion and assign it a place. For example, mark out the list of ingredients with the mouse and click on "ingredients", then highlight the directions and click on "directions". Really kind of neat.
This question was inspired by Kimmie's post at the "form over function" thread.
We all have a collection of cookbooks which probably doesn't get smaller. How do you sort them? Where do you keep them (kitchen counter, cabinets, closets, stand alone shelves, shelves on the wall)? Do you have a cookbook on "display" in a plate holder? Do you have blank recipe books you write your creations in or keep them on your computer? Do you use them all or do you trade unused ones at the used book store?
With this.
As long as Home Depot has 1x12 oak, eye hooks and chain, and I have wall perimeter, I've got room for more books.
You can run this around the entire house if you want, since very few people will hit their head on a shelf that's almost 7 1/2' off the ground.
An added benefit is that some stainless rod and eye hooks get you space for all those utensils that never seem to find a good home.

Madame, here's a little secret for you. If your kitchen cabinents are standard installation they are hung a foot lower than the ceiling, with a soffit filling the opening. Remove the soffits and you've got as much "shelf" space as the length of your cabinets. Plenty of room for books, and less-often used cooking equipment, etc.
I am sooooo lucky to have a super computer geek hubby He digitally converted all of my books. We have a mini laptop in our kitchen. I have a little database I can look up by book,author or recipe...I even have all my family recipes stored in it. I add new recipes all the time...I love it! Now I have room for more cooking stuff :) Sad for my books that are sitting in boxes waiting...

Went to cooking school hoping to get definitive info. Did not work. I have almost 2 doz books now in my rented room, in less than a year! Yes I have an addiction. I read a cookbook from cover to cover and flag the recipes I want to do with post-it notes cut up 5 times. What I haven't figured out is how to source a recipe I tabbed that I know that I want to try, but can't recall which book.This can be years later after first viewing! I sort my books by baking, ethnic etc. I now pencil a checkmark in index if I've done a recipe, untab, make a penciled note on recipe page rating it or suggested changes.
I haunt the thrift stores and found I had bought some books more than once!
At home when I am overflowing for space, meaning I want to buy a new cookbook, I take out the books with the fewest tabs, review the tabbed recipes to see if they still interest me, untab or scan the recipe into computer. Then, I donate the book back to the thrift shop, or public library if they are intersted. If you think this is pricey I find it much cheaper than paying overdue fines at the library! The library is now my biggest resource, however, while I am out of town in my rental apt. They have a lot of the books I have at home but some of my thrift store finds are obscure and unique. Each author has their own philosophy, palate, and technique tips that one assimilates into ones own repetoire that you can't get from any one 'bible' cookbook.
My cookbooks are my babies. I have completed my chef's course and I still am still addicted to cookbooks but do not have to own them all.
I have become very, very selective now.
I have pared my collection down to about 300 now!
Happy reading.

Annecho, I go through a similar process. One thing that might help: instead of cutting up post it notes, they make what are called post-it flags. These come in an array of colors, and a couple of sizes. You can even get them as part of a combo pack that includes a matching-color highlighter.
You might find that color coding can help when you go back searching. At least it will limit the number of books you have to search through---providing you can come up with a system that works for you.
Something else I've learned to do. Through my work as a book reviewer I'd gotten in the habit of taping a sheet of notepaper to the frontispiece. As I try recipes, I write down it's name and page, along with notes and comments about the recipe and the dish. This has been so beneficial that I now do it with all cookbooks, not just those I'm reviewing.
For me it works much better than merely checking off that recipe in the contents.
Unfortunately, it's no help looking for one of those to-try recipes.

The ones I use a lot are in the book case in the living room, the ones I use somewhat are in a cabinet in the kitchen, then I have some more downstairs, along with a bunch in other various places.
They are stored nearly everywhere, a bookcase in my bedroom, which has overflowed to another bookcase in my bedroom. Magazines are next to chairs, recliners, piled on desk, in the computer, flat surfaces and magazine racks. I do not have any in my kitchen, because there is no room in the kitchen. I have a great, quite small galley kitchen that was built to house me and my beloved kitchen tools, we take up every last inch of space. I carry the recipe book into the kitchen, or enter the recipe into the computer and print it off, I'll make a notation in the book if it's good, note substitutions if any were made. If it's not good, notation as well and wiped off the computer if that is appropriate. But throw away a cookbook, that is not something I can do without a struggle.

Like most people they are everywhere, I do cull them from time to time. Though I never dispose of as many as I buy so my collection always grows. The magazines as many have said are the biggest problem, I really wish the publishers would offer cd with a years issues or more burnt on them. A few non cooking publications do this and it saves so much space and you still have all those back issues.

I have around 100 cookbooks dating back to the 1930's. Some of the WWII cook books have some neat stuff in them. There were a lot of shortages, and they tell you how to get around some of those shortages.
I have them stored on several shelves of my book case. I also have my Master Cook software, and around 20,000 recipes in several collections.
Nope, I will never make all those recipes, but it's nice to search through my MC collection for inspiration. The wife, and I once went six months, and NEVER had the same thing twice. We make out two week menu's. Sometime we choose a cuisine, and only make that, Other times we mix it up. In winter we always have a different soup every week. Sometimes we say "LETS PLAY", and put something together based on the proper proceedures and techniques we have learned from our generous Chef friends, and Foodies.
Ya got to feel sorry for folks that say, Oh today is Monday so it's spaghetti, or Wednesday it's meatloaf.
So many amazing meals developed by wonderful creative chefs, foodies, and straight up home cooks, and so short a life to enjoy them.
Lord, please save me from more cookbooks!
My wife and I have a collection of a several hundred cookbooks. Important reference tomes are kept in book cases in our study. Older parts of the collection take up space in a bookcase that covers an entire kitchen wall. The remainder appear to be forming a wall atop dresser in the master bedroom.
It has finally gotten to the point where we seriously need to discard some. This in it self can be a problem in a home with 2 cooks! I want to keep books that include historic notes and assorted trivia on the dishes or cuisine, where my wife wants to keep only books that reflect her personal interests (anything related to Christmas, railroad/dining car related, the esoteric list goes on...) It is important to go through your collection periodically though, it's surprising how many duplicates you can find.
Check out Foodies on the Prowl!
I keep some of mine on top of the fridge. some are on a bookshelf in the living room. magazines are stacked in my bedroom trying to find a home. an inordinate amount seem to wind up on the nightstand next to my bed and spill onto the floor. i have no idea how that happens. i also go to the library and check out books flag recipes in them and put them on my computer. i am in the process of printing out favorites and putting them in page protectors in a three ring binder sorted into categories. this will take a very loooong time. but i think it will be worth it.

I keep my cookbooks with the rest of my "library" on the bookshelves with all of the classic literature that my husband collects. I've tried to organize them before, but that never seems to last long. I love my vintage cookbooks that have been passed down by my grandmother or mother. My prized possessions though are the hand written family recipes I have in two traditional recipe boxes and one 3 ring binder. There is nothing more wonderful than seeing my grandmother's hand writing when I make her scratch noodle recipe or my own chicken scratches from a child in 4H or Home-Ec class when I cook. Some day maybe I will archive these all electronically, but for now, I just love the smell of a musty old 1940's Better Homes and Garden's book or the tattered Swan's Down Best of Cakes book with hand-written notes.

Me and some friends threw this together and thought we'd put it on here. Its by no means perfect, but we all thought it was fun. Tell me what you think!
I should also mention that this was our first "real" flash game, so constructive criticism is very much welcome.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Nice try!
The game is interesting but you should have made it more beat like. Like a song, not random chords. Though that would be much harder, so good job.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Challenging and addictive
Interesting concept you have here. The harder levels can get very hectic and difficult, but are worth replaying. Not a bad submission at all; good work!

Congrats to the designer of this beautiful pattern for winning the 'best heartwarming story' category in the Share the Love Design Contest.
My best friend was diagnosed with cancer in October of 2013. She lives six hours away, and though we see each other several times a year, the frequent hugging that this condition requires seemed to be an unmanageable obstacle to Lynna's health. Early in November, inspiration came for a knitted hug that would be warm, relatively lightweight, avoid any incisions after her surgery, and would always be on hand when I was unavailable to fulfill my hugging duties. I attempted to incorporate Lynna's deep faith, love of green growing things, and optimism for the eternal return of spring into a hug of earth and leaves and transformation.
Personally, this was the most difficult project I have ever executed. I ripped out rows and ripped again… and again… I knew how I wanted to accomplish the design but actually? And without errors? Where was my concentration? One dark day, having arrived at the second cuff, I saw that ten inches had to be removed and reknit. The following evening, someone else's kitty decided that the silk in this yarn was a newly required dietary supplement. That repair took some time. Deepening my awareness, that was in fact struggling, narrowing my focus, and trusting that these were small problems helped considerably.Luckily it has been an incredibly long and frozen winter so there are many months for Lynna to enjoy her hug despite my agonizingly long production time.
I do not like to consider myself a perfectionist because, obviously, there is almost nothing in life that is or can be perfect; nature itself is most beautiful in all its glorious imperfection. However, the completion of a project to the best of my ability is my goal – even when I must learn what I do not know so that I can learn what I do not know. My abilities can be shaped by the state of the world, the state of my family, or my state of mind, AND I have the capacity to direct my focus and to knit success in the places where I spend that focus.
- Laines du Nord/Cashsilk 50% merino, 25% silk, 25% cashmere

- Size 10 circular needles (16")

Thank you so much for this beautiful pattern and your inspirational description of the process you went through to design and knit it.
I am going to make one for my daughter who is having her own battles with cancer.

Judy Thompson

Well, I wasn't think THAT far back when I made that statement, Cuz really The Federalist just kinda sided with Republicans if I remember right, Irregardless, Both parties have practically sewn themselves into our american society, and I don't foresee any "downfall" of either parties so long that america is a Democracy.

Nothing lasts forever. No party is immune. It's up to the people whether to support them or not. Funny though. Every paper I pick up can't stop talking about this. Even the extreme Democratic supporters believe choosing Dean is a big mistake.

You are correct, but I can guarantee that the majority of people around here wouldn't have known those parties.Originally Posted by pyoro-pyoro

Probably because the majority of people here haven't been to college yet. (See "How old are you: Poll" )

of Fiscal and Program Review
The Office of Fiscal and Program Review (OFPR) is a
nonpartisan office established to provide independent, accurate and objective
information and analyses to members of the Maine State Legislature with respect
to historical, current, projected and proposed appropriations, expenditures,
taxes and revenue, as well as any other fiscal information requested. It consists of one Director, eight analysts
and two administrative support staff.
Committee Staffing OFPR is the primary
staff to the Joint Committee on Appropriations and Financial Affairs and the
Joint Committee on Taxation. It also
co-staffs the Transportation and Health and Human Services committees during
budget deliberations and provides fiscal and budget assistance to other
committees upon request. OFPR's analysts
specialize in policy areas that roughly correspond to the areas of jurisdiction
of the policy committees.
Fiscal Notes The other primary
responsibility of OFPR is to provide fiscal notes for bills and amendments. A
fiscal note estimates the anticipated change in state government expenditures
or revenue due to the specific provisions of a bill or amendment. The fiscal note process is governed by the
Joint Rules. These rules have historically assigned sole responsibility for
developing fiscal notes to OFPR and required fiscal notes to accompany any bill
or resolve reported favorably out of committee that affects state revenue or
expenditures. OFPR analysts, under the
guidance of a Principal Analyst, produce fiscal notes for bills and all amendments
that affect the fiscal impact of the original bill.
Fiscal Monitoring OFPR staff tracks
and reviews the many reports required to be provided to the Appropriations and
Taxation Committees by various departments and agencies of the executive
branch. They assist the Appropriations
Committee in fulfilling their statutory obligation to review the Financial
Orders generated by the executive branch and approved by the Governor. Financial Orders document the translation of
the enacted budget and other spending bills into work plans and authorize
changes to those plans.
Other Functions In
addition to the functions noted above, OFPR prepares special reports on State
revenues and expenditures, status of fund balances, municipal mandates and
other topics of interest to the State Legislature; supports the Legislature and
other nonpartisan offices in their work on interim studies; independently
conducts other research projects; helps individual legislators and members of
the public find information on state government finances and agency functions
and represents the Legislature on the Revenue Forecasting Committee (the
Director and the Fiscal Note Coordinator).
Major Publications OFPR updates
annually the Summary of Major State Funding Disbursed to Municipalities and
Counties and the Compendium of State Fiscal Information and updates its
biennial publications describing the fiscal note and budget processes. OFPR also publishes a monthly newsletter (FI$CAL

The more that time passes, the more natural minded I'm becoming. Our kids still see a pediatrician when they are sick (not just a cold), but I try to treat things naturally as a first line of defense. I also do my best to make sure they eat as healthy as possible, limiting their junk food intake, buying organic, etc.
Today, I realized that my H is just not on the same page. He's home during the day so I don't get to choose what they eat. The only thing I ask him to do is give them a fruit or veggie with every meal- he rarely does. I have also mentioned not giving them sugar when they are sick.
My son has a horrible, wet cough that started Sunday. He woke himself up coughing last night, and apparently did that again for nap today. My husband called me and said, "I know you're anti-medication", but DS has been coughing so much and I'm worried about him. Can I give him some benadryl?" I'm NOT anti-medication. I am anti-medicateforeverythingallthetime, and I am frustrated that he doesn't realize that. It hurt my feelings that he thought he was being respectful to me by asking me that, when really it just offended me. If he is unsure if our kids need something, sure, ask me, but he felt like he did and was concerned that his "anti-medication" wife would get upset because he gave our kid benadryl. :(
Then, I saw that our babysitter bought some yogurt that's just full of crap, including aspartame. My kids eat fruity cheerios and have regular snacks, but I don't want them having aspartame. (i'm also trying to go dye free, but I'm taking baby steps). Anyway, me saying that I wish she wouldn't bring that junk in the house caused him to give me a comment...again something about me being "anti-everything".
It just breaks my heart that their health and well being is really important to me and he doesn't get where I'm coming from- I don't think I'm extreme with it; as a matter of fact, reading some of the posts on here makes me realize how "mainstream" we are, but I'm trying. I am making a conscious effort to give our kids a healthier lifestyle than I grew up with. I read labels, I reasearch things, I explore alternative treatment, etc. And he just doesn't seem to give what we feed them or put on them or how much tv they watch a second thought.
I don't know how to talk to him about this. He's reasonable, a great guy, loves our kids, very involved and attentive in other ways- just so "whatever" about what they eat and what chemicals they are exposed to. He subtly makes me feel like I'm crazy for caring about this stuff.
Sorry to hear you're going through this. Except for the fact that I'm the primary caregiver for our 2 year old daughter, I feel similarly. I often tell my husband that he is permissive, but not supportive. He pretty much just goes along with whatever I do, but he is pretty conscientious of what he feeds her, too. But, if the going gets tough, he'll make an inferior choice instead of spending too much time thinking. I think the real problem is that he doesn't read the things I do so he doesn't have the information.
If we're in a situation that's "tough", he'll say things like, "Well, a little bit won't kill her." Or when we're around family he kind of just laughs with them at my efforts to eat a different (whole foods) diet than the (processed) one we were raised on.
I'm trying to do better at explaining why I do certain things than just making casual comments or complaining about what someone else is doing. Like you, I'm the one who has changed so I try to remember that. And, I have to remind myself that I do the hard things because they're important things.
It's tough when someone brings something into your house. We deal with this with my mother who will bring in soft drinks (for her consumption only) and processed snacks. If she leaves anything, it gets thrown out. And, I do make casual comments about not eating things in front of DD that we don't want her to eat. Does the sitter bring in the yogurt just for herself? Could you mention that she should only bring enough for her serving and/or take home what's leftover? If your children are old enough, could you begin teaching your children about the dangers of aspartame (or whatever it happens to be at the time)? I'm hanging on to hope that one day soon my daughter will be helping me teach DH this stuff!
Sometimes I, myself, wonder if I'm crazy for caring so much, but then I remember that I do the hard things because they're important things. Do you have or can you find some like-minded people for support....a playgroup, for example? Also, La Leche League meetings are often led by and attended by women who believe in eating a varied diet of whole foods in as close to their natural state as possible.
Hang in there, Mama! You're doing the hard things because they're the important things! And, I bet your husband is picking up on this stuff. Do you ever get any moments to be "proud" of him? It's hard, but it's worth it!
This is an interesting thread. I am a 'whole foods' eater in my house... and I'm the only one:) My DH thinks & behaves very different than I and he makes it clear that he will NOT be making the same food choices as me. He also is half the parenting force of our (1) child.
This creates a difficult situation in that we literally do eat very different food. It is funny that we have been able to come together in a unique way and everyone's needs get met. The biggest downfall (from my point of view) is that my DD eats many foods that are processed and also plenty of sugar. My DH does too, but I feel differently about the choices he makes for himself as opposed to the choices he helps my DD make.
I had to come to a decision several years ago that our differing opinions and behaviors surrounding food were not cause for constant arguing or constant berating (my way is right and you are wrong type attitude.) THere is something to be said for balance and a varied, dynamic experience surrounding food choices.
I lead by example (I follow a strict paleo diet); try to instill solid ideas about food (''real" food vs "processed" food); always have healthy choices available (always a veggie garden, fresh eggs, and make homemade traditional foods); and encourage my daughter to make healthy choices at mealtimes & when she is really hungry; and to always 'listen' to her body when it comes to quantity.
No suggestions just commiseration. Hubby also loves processed foods. Our household is also pretty mainstream although I'm also hoping to change that gradually.

The Space
Authentic stone cabin located within the 272,000 acre San Jacinto National Monument; only minutes from downtown Palm Springs. Enjoy better views, darker skies, and more solitude than any other place in Southern California.
"Close to Palm Springs, Closer to Nature" - Hermit Springs is a home for the discriminating nomad.
WHERE IS WHITEWATER? It is located on the westernmost side of Palm Springs, CA. In our "backyard", you will find Mount San Jacinto (10,834') and to the north, you will find Mt. San Gorgonio (11,503'). Both mountains are separated by a small section of land called the San Gorgonio Pass.
***When you visit Hermit Springs, you are coming for both rest and recreation as your host offers optional outdoor guide service and provides unique seasonal itineraries based on your individual interests. For an additional cost, I can also outfit guests with top of the line backpacking gear by brands such as GoLite, Mountain Hardware, Black Diamond, and Cascade Designs. There are loaner local maps, trail maps, books on local history, wildlife and more are also provided for your convenient reference and a small reading library is available.
ABOUT THIS AREA Hermit Springs is located within the 272,000 acre Santa Rosa and Mount San Jacinto National Monument where you will enjoy beautiful unobstructed views of the 10,834' north face of Mt. San Jacinto and have unparalleled door front access to the world famous Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) which stretches over 2,600 miles from Mexico to Canada. In addition to staying in a unique environment that is perfect for hikers and photographers, other optional outdoor activities here include alpine climbing, bouldering, dune exploration, botany, and more.
ABOUT THE CABIN This little getaway has recently been refurbished - it now features reclaimed and custom milled mesquite hardwood floors, hand-plastered walls, an open beam wood ceiling, two wood-burning fireplaces, a designer stainless steel kitchen with a massive farm sink, a professional stainless steel range, and a full-sized modern stainless steel refrigerator. For eating; an acacia and steel pub table is perfect for sharing a drink while discussing adventures, playing games, or journaling your thoughts for the day. Inside, you'll also enjoy a massive custom built 4'X6' tumbled travertine roman bathtub (the hot tub) with dual 8" brass rain shower heads. Three, six-gallon carboy glass bottles set in the west wall light up the shower in the late afternoon, yet provide total privacy while enjoying a dip. The bathroom features an antique baroque mirror, a hand-hammered Indian vessel sink and a vintage cabinet from the 1800's with a solid granite top. Two fir shaker-style pocket doors provide privacy and easy access from both the bedroom and the living room. An extra long bed with antique solid oak head and footboards accommodates two comfortably and two more guests can stay in the living room on an air mattress. Extra linens are in the walk-in closet where you can also store your luggage and provide extra space for jackets, backpacks, or other bulky items. Outside is a six-seater iron furniture set placed in natural desert landscape. In the yard are barrel cactus, aloe, agave, palo verde, desert willow, nolina, cholla, prickly pear, yerba santa, creosote, cottonwood, etc. Many have amazing blooms in the spring, but others bloom in the summer. There is also a classic Weber kettle BBQ charcoal grill for outdoor grilling during the cool of the day.
ABOUT OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES As your host and guide, excursions are also available to the following locations: • Joshua Tree National Park • The Mojave Preserve • Mt. San Jacinto Wilderness & Backcountry • Mt. San Gorgonio Wilderness & Backcountry • Salvation Mountain & Slab City • Kayaking the Salton Sea • Deep Creek Natural Hot Springs • Sections of the Pacific Crest Trail • Pappy & Harriet's • The Integretron • Much more... A LITTLE PIECE OF DESERT HISTORY Hermit Springs is special because of both the the unique history and landscape surrounding this property. The first known inhabitants of "Teshana" were the Waknikik clan of the Cahuilla Indians who gathered from the natural landscape and hunted small game. Some of the first non-native settlers to the area came in 1810 - they were employees of the Wells Fargo Pony Express and stopped here to feed and exchange their horses and to maintain their carriages. In 1910 the artist, Steven Willard became a resident and in the 1920's, a small group of Sicilian olive farmers called this area home while herding sheep and tending to their olive trees - many of which still exist today.
Wanderers, trappers, and outdoors-men of all types have visited this area because of the reliable water source in this canyon. Trout can still be found high up the west fork past the alluvial fan scattered with granite boulders and dotted with jojoba and brittle-bush. Up until the 60's, the public had full access to massive pools for fishing and recreation - now it's more challenging to get there, but still possible. In rainy years, a beautiful annual stream can be visited on the east side of the canyon - a picture of which can be found in my photographs. Within our village resides a variety of craftsmen, professionals, retiree's, and artists from all backgrounds who also enjoy the special nature and solitude that can only be found here.
Local legend has it that psychologist Timothy Leary and his good friend John Drew Barrymore were both occupants here at one time. The Beatles stopped at a house up the road between gigs and the Rat Pack even had a hideaway in this small community. Public television icon Huell Howser of "California's Gold" even visited this little cabin at one point for a special on the area. Additionally, this cabin was recently featured in the December 2013 issue of Palm Springs Life magazine.

I will do my best to answer ASAP.

Gorgeous cabin at the base of Mt. San Jacinto and literally steps away from the PCT. My husband and I stayed two nights while we were in town for a wedding, and Matt's cabin was the perfect excuse to make a hiking trip out of our journey. The cabin had everything we needed to fix breakfast and Matt was kind enough to stock breakfast supplies (thank you for the delicious oranges) and our favorite beer. We definitely didn't miss having a tv or wi-fi, and tried to minimize our use of cell phones, tv, and internet. What a wonderful escape to just hike, cook, and play board games with my spouse. Amazing cabin and amazing trip!!
Matt was there to meet us on when we arrived, answered our questions and helped with suggestions for activities and dining. We felt welcomed and appreciated. Hermit Springs was only a 15 minute or so drive to Palm Springs and was tucked up against the mountains in a very secluded, small community of homes. We enjoyed stepping out the back door each morning to hummingbirds, beautiful vistas and on some days, a hike along the Pacific Crest Trail - a real bonus. Lovely design and furnishings with everything we needed for our week-long stay. . Highly recommended.
Absolutely charming, cozy, cabin-like place with beautiful mountain scenery (literally at the base of Mt. San Jacinto. If you're looking for something away from the traffic and crowds of the Coachella Valley, but within easy driving distance to all of the sites - this is it! You might even find yourself wanting to cut some of your day trips short to ensure that you have time for a pleasant morning or afternoon to enjoy the peace and solitude of Hermit Springs. No TV, but we didn't need or want it.
Matt is truly wonderful host. He was there to great us with fixings for a delicious breakfast, show us around the cabin, and even had a fireplace fire going for us...all much appreciated with our late in the day arrival. This is a fantastic place and Matt is the best.
Arriving exhausted many hours late, Matt and Kim sacrifised their evening to greet us at the remote Hermit Springs cabin. The location is superb for those who wish to be close to nature, with a stunning view of Mt. San Jacinto. Matt and Kim also provided us with starter foood and information.
The kitchen is amazingly well set up, with lots of staples, herbs and other food, and top quality appliances. Even sharp knives--rare in rentals in our experience. The living area is comfortable, and the two person shower-bath is a luxury touch. It's not for everyone, no tv, internet, micowave, radio or clock. But being in a very beautiful area, surrounded by nature, more than compensated. The Pacific Crest Trail really is 20 feet from the fron door, and the hike from the cabin is wonderful.
This is a beautiful space - very romantic with a fantastic kitchen and great fireplaces…We really enjoyed our stay here. Matt was welcoming, generous with his recommendations, and answered questions promptly…his knowledge of local hiking was invaluable. The cabin is really well-situated for hikes in the San Jacintos, Joshua Tree, and the Indian Canyons south of Palm Springs (and, of course, it's very close to Palm Springs). The neighbors can be a bit "nosy" but all in all they were nothing to worry about.
Spending the long Christmas weekend at Hermit Springs Retreat was exactly what we had hoped for and more. Matt is such a gracious host and from onset to end he was always available, communicative, and very generous in hospitality. Matt's place is more beautiful in person, cozy, impeccable, and with everything you could desire. You can see the love he has poured into this place with all the attention to details. The views are breathtaking and if you love to hike, like we do, the location couldn't be more convenient, as you are literally on the Pacific Crest Trail just steps from the house and conveniently located to many other wonderful hiking spots. We loved the location outside of Palm Springs, as we were looking for some quiet in nature, but still were close enough to get to things if we wanted. Star gazing is amazing from the house and the quiet is perfect for anyone wanting to relax, receive inspiration, or work on creative projects. Matt was generous in providing hiking ideas, which we loved and he made us feel welcome from the get-go. We will definitely return and are very grateful for this beautiful Christmas vacation Matt provided us opportunity to experience.
Our stay at Hermit Springs was even better than anticipated. Matt's description of the cabin is perfect and the pictures you see on here are exactly what you get. We arrived to a clean cabin and the host made sure he was there to greet us and answer any questions. He also left us a bottle of wine and ingredients to make breakfast in the morning. Extremely thoughtful and appreciated! During our week, Matt made himself available (via text/email) and was an extremely useful source of information for everything about the area (hiking, dining, etc). The cabin is the perfect size for two and being disconnected from the internet and television provides for a great way to connect. It's location is absolutely beautiful as well. It is right on the PCT and one of my favorite parts of our stay was enjoying breakfast and coffee outside and taking in the view. We will definitely be recommending this place to friends who love the outdoors and hopefully will be back ourselves as well!
