I feel horrible (LONG, but I need to get it out)
None of y'all know me, and I'm really sorry to load this all on you in my first post, but I really need to just get this out. This is probably going to be very long, so a big THANK YOU in advance to those of you who are willing to bear with me and read it.
My mother was the 4th of 5 children (3 girls and 2 boys). My grandfather was apparently very abusive to the oldest girl (2nd child), but not to my mother, though she did witness this abuse. When my grandmother was 36, she went through the change of life and had her first (of many) nervous breakdown, and was sent to a mental institution. All five children were distributed to various relatives, as my grandfather could not and would not raise the children while grandmother was away. Their oldest boy joined the military shortly thereafter. The oldest girl had been dating a nice boy for a few years, and was very in love. She got pregnant at 17, so my grandparents let them marry. (They still have a happy, successful marriage today). Well, the two younger girls saw this and caught on that a pregnancy would get them out of this bad situation. So they got pregnant and my grandparents let them marry the boys responsible. But their relationships lacked the commitment and history that the first sister's marriage had, and both ended badly. My father cheated and did alot of drugs (he was 16, my mother 17 when they married.) When I was 3, my father died of a drug overdose, and my mother and I moved in with her sister for a while, and then into our own 1 bedroom apartment, with Jimmy ( a boyfriend of my mother's.) This is the start of my wonderful memories.
Jimmie used to make me drink beer, at 4 and 5 years old. I hated it, and told my mother, but she would just pooh-pooh it, laughing and telling him not to do that. I remember him touching me, "spanking" me while I was naked (but it didn't hurt and he was laughing.) My mother even told me of one time he left three large hickies on my neck. When it was time to go to a state funded preschool, my mother and grandmother sat me down and told me how important it was not to tell anyone what went on in my house. My grandmother would tell me all the time that Mommy needed a man because one day I was going to grow up and move away, and she needed a man to be with, but if I told what they did to me, somebody would take me away. I became a withdrawn, clingy child who would hardly talk to anyone except my family. I would have rage attacks which I would not remember later, several times hurting children in the preschool. At this time my mother began what would start years of beatings, probably because she was frustrated with my behavior. She eventually kicked Jimmie out when she caught him having sex with a 14-year old girl, not over anything he had done to me. It was too late anyway, our pattern was already set, and I had had to be sent to a special school for emotionally disturbed children (and those with severe disabilities) I was finally let out of the special school when I broke the silence and told the psychologist I hated her for trying to make me talk. I finally expressed emotion, so they let me go on to first grade at eight and a half. My mother dated many men but they never lasted, until Jack. He hit me on their second date, so I guess she felt she foud a keeper. One day about six months into their relationship, they said we needed to go to the courthouse, but they didn't say why. I waited outside on a bench, and when they came out they were married. A few days later, he started forcing me to get up in the middle of the night to watch pornos with him. I was 11. I knew better than to tell anybody by then. By day, he was mean and hateful, hitting me, throwing dishes at me, etc, but by night, you never knew.
My mother gave birth to the prettiest baby girl I ever saw, 10 days after I turned 13. I was in charge of babysitting her, after shool, on weekends and during the summer. I was watching her, then 2 years old, while my mother and grandmother went grocery shopping one day. I was trying to get her to take a nap, and my mother had told me the only way she would go to sleep was if I laid down with her in my mother's bed. She was almost asleep when jack came in, and he was on top of me, touching me. Don't get me wrong, he NEVER raped me, there was never penetration, but I was begging him to stop so I could get the baby to sleep. My sister was jumping on the bed, scraming "NO! NO!" (which would be the only word she would say for the next year.)
When my mother and grandmother came home, Jack told them that the baby didn't get her nap because I was a horrible babysitter. That was it, for me. I exploded with the truth, and was sent to my room. The next day my mother told me that I could go, but she was staying with Jack. I spent the next year with my father's parents, whom I had never met before, but it was honestly the best year of my life. Not saying much, but it didn't take much, you know? After a year, my mother tried to take me back, but I felt like I was fighting for my life at this point. With my grandparents' help, I got a guardian and my mother gave up her parental rights.
I kept a relationship with them because of my sister. I really loved that baby, and I was convinced that I needed to be in her life in case anything went wrong.
My life continued in a silently out of control spiral. I was in a very dysfunctional realationship with a control freak (who I later learned was Schizophrenic).We both did alot of drugs, until I became pregnant. That changed everything for me. I began living my life for my son.
The pivotal point was when my baby was six months old, and I met a wonderful, stable father of two. I feel that God sent him to me, I really do. I am not a religious person, I don't believe in church but I do believe in God, there have been too many times in my life where He has saved me, not to believe.
After I married, I tried for years to have a relationship with my mother. I went from being a young single mom with one young baby, to being a stay at home mom with 3 under 3. There are things that a young mother and wfe needs to be able to talk to her mother about. We would go through periods of everything being fine, to fighting because she wanted me to say that I lied about Jack molesting me, to not talking at all. We went on this merry-go-round for years, until four years ago. The last time she hung up on me, I went through my usual depression, and finally realized that no matter how much I wanted the mother-daughter relationship I envied that other women had, it was never going to happen for me, and I needed to come to grips with it. Subsiquently, my relationship with my sister ended because for every 1 time I got to talk to her, I got at least 8 phone calls from my mother.
Recently my mother wanted to start up that dysfunctional cycle again, but I'm old enough to know that it's not good for me emotionally to go through that anymore.
She started with letters, which I ignored. Then a Christmas card with a check for $80 last year, which I did not cash. Then lately the phone calls. Each time she called I was purposefully distant. Not mean or angry, just resigned and short. The phone calls stopped, so I thought it was over. This is not the life I wanted: I still envy other peoples' relationships with their families, but this is the life that is best for me.
Then two days ago we wanted to buy a desk for one of our boys for Christmas. We looked around but the best idea was a desk at one of those rental places. They have to have references, and one of the references has to be a relative. Hubby assured me that they would not check the references (he had done rent-to-own before and they didn't check his references) so I made a stupid mistake. I don't have any relatives, and my husband's only relative (my dear MIL) passed away in 2003. So I listed my mother. I know, I know.
My mother called today. She sounded confused, and hopeful. So hopeful. She wanted to talk. And I had to tell her that I don't think it's a good idea for us to have a relationship, because it's just no good.
And now I feel horrible. It's my fault she called. I am so, Sooo Sorry that I listed her on that application. She was not a good mother to me, probably because of life circumstances and frustrations. She didn't have good role models either. I think somewhere in there, she wants to be my mother, but she just doesn't know how. I wasn't an easy child, I didn't go along with her life plans. Life didn't go the way she planned. I was the child that was supposed to get her out of a bad situation, not somebody that would make life harder. She resented me because life didn't go as she planned it, and that's why my childhood was the way it was. I think that my sister got a better mother, I have to believe that. She was married (still is) and she didn't have all the frustrations to deal with that she had with me. Jack is older and not in wonderful health, so I tell myself that he has never touched my sister. I think she had a good life.
Please forgive the long book of a post, I just needed to get it out. I'm feeling horrible today.
I read your tome, and I think its good you got all that off your chest. Do you feel better, happier, now that you have said it all ?
I wish you a happy Christmas, with your little ones, give them a big hug and lots of kisses. Be 'IN THE MOMENT' with their joy on Christmas Day.
All the best to you.
I think getting it off your chest (in a relatively safe, anonmous way) was a good idea.
I, too, have envied the close relationship that I've seen other women have with their mothers. My own childhood was not as tragic as yours, but my mother was not a loving, motherly type. She made it very clear that her profession was her priority. A long time ago, I came to the realization that I would never be that important to her, and I came to terms with it. I send her cards on her birthday, Mother's day and Christmas (and include pics of my grandchildren). But I leave it at that. She now has Alzheimer's disease and doesn't even know who I am anymore.
If you feel that you need to keep your distance for your own peace of mind, then that is what you need to do. There's is no reason for guilt.
I hope you and your family enjoy a wonderful holiday!
Popi and Grandma, thank you both for taking the time to read and respond to my post.
Yes, I did feel much better after I let it out, and was able to get some sleep. Felt much better in the morning.
Grandma, I'm sorry that your mother was not the motherly type, but I hope that you have a better relationship with your children and grandchildren. I'm not the warm, motherly type either, but I do hope still that my children are getting what they need from me. I hope that maybe since they're boys, that the love that I'm able to show them is enough. Neither my husband nor myself are the touchy feely huggy types, though I do admire that quality in others.
I hope both of you have a wonderful holiday!
Thank you for posting your story. I'm sure there are many people that will learn from it. You are so fortunate to have made a good life for yourself after such a tragic childhood. I admire you. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a joyous 2007.
Congratulations on surviving your childhood. You are a victor in this. I'm sorry that your mother is such a disappointment. Just remember that you are not responsible for her dysfunction. You have made it, despite what she allowed to happen to you.
I can understand your sadness, but remember - she fostered her own dysfunction. It's not her fault - she had a dysfunctional upbringing. She probably just didn't know how to do any better. But you don't have to continue the cycle of that tragedy. You seem to have risen above and made a good life for yourself and your family. That's not an easy thing to do and you should feel proud of yourself.
Good for you!
I totally agree with the others that you should feel very proud of yourself for overcoming the horror of your earlier life. And best wishes for you in the future - you must have a great deal of strength or you would not have come so far. I hope it will continue to serve you.
Of course you know that putting your mother's name down as a reference in NO WAY compares to the things you suffered. And so long as you make the payments it does absolutely nothing to cause her harm. So I think your guilt there is misplaced. In fact, I think the guilt you are feeling is on account of the childhood situation you have gone through and the totally understandable anger you still feel toward your mother. It makes no logical sense but it is typical for those who have experiences like yours to feel guilt - both for what happened and for the perfectly justified anger at the adults who did not prevent it. Unfortunately, it is impossible to rewrite history. You can't change what happened but you can learn from it. I hope you can work through it and make peace with yourself. IT WAS NOT YOUR FAULT. Never believe that it was. Reguardless of anyone's reaction to what happened...it was not your fault. Your mother was weak and made some bad decisions. If it helps, I would be willing to wager large amounts that she is already suffering far more exquisite sorrow about that than you could ever invent for her. It is your choice to forgive or understand or not. You can choose whether to have a relationship with her or not. At this point, you can control your situation to a great extent. It's only important that you understand it as much as possible so that you don't continue to suffer unnecessarily. Counseling can be good if you find a good counselor. Reading about the subject can help. But always remember to be very gentle with yourself. You have come through some very hard times - and you appear to have done it very well. Give yourself a lot of credit for that.
The important thing is that you are a survivor. And that is a real blessing.
Thank you everybody. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! I'm glad it's over, LOL!
Well, the rental place called the next day. Seems that before my mother even called me, she told the rental place that she didn't know me and wouldn't verify any of my information. ROFLMBO! Hmmm. I guess I really, REALLY didn't need to feel guilty. So I simply supplied two more references (coworkers) and our son was really excited about the desk on Christmas day. We'll pay it off with our income tax, and it's a much better desk than what can be found at the local WallywantstotakeovertheWorld, LOL!
I really hope you have been in therapy or at some point will get some.I have been through similar things (although probably not as bad) I was also molested (by a cousin).In my teens I was pretty promiscuious and got mad when people called me a slut because I didnt think I was.In hindsight,I know It was a reaction to all I had exprienced.
My mom kicked me out of the house alot and always put her loser boyfriends first too.They never tried anything with me,but were alcoholics and abusive to my mother.
My relationship with my mom and sister has been a disaster for the last 15 years.Neither one of them has been there for me at all,and have only made my life more stressful.
So I finally went to therapy because it was causing all kinds of problems.Severe anger,depression,anxiety...I learned alot.My therapist said it was more healthy for me to not have them in my life.Of course,they make that impossible,but I have learned to shut them out more and not let them interfere with my life.
I think you are doing the right thing.Obviously your mother hasnt changed if she still has Jack in her life.Dont justify your mom's actions by saying you were supposed to help her have a better life.You didnt ask to be born.And unless your a moron,everyone knows having a baby doesnt make life easier!
I'm really surprized you turned out so good considering.I have too only because I try to do the opposite of my mom at all costs.
Just think how it good it felt to get it all out here.If you had a therapist you could really dig up those issues and even free yourself of all (or at least most) guilt. If you cant afford it,most counties have some kind of free mental health plan.Or on a sliding scale of much money you make.
My husband has kinda saved me too.He has been the most stable person I have known.He has put up with alot from me because I was so "flighty" when we met cuz of all the drama.I essentially went to therapy for him,because I didnt want him to have to constantly hear about it or put him through any grief.
It sucks to have a crappy family life.I'm sorry about all you have been through.But in a way it's nice to know I'm not the only one.

It's certainly 1 of our most memorable day - though not in a good way.
I would certainly recommend flying for this part of the itinerary if we were to do this all over ...

I have my Nexus 5 since early february, rooted it, running stock KK no problem.
I flashed the Android L preview a few days after its release to test it a few weeks.
As I wasn't sastified with this preview and the lack of many my little rooted convenience, a few days I went back to KK 4.4.4 and flashed the ElementalX kernel.
Since then when I plug it into anything (computer or just charger) it generally stays just fine until the screen shuts off -during this time I can use normally- or report a system error saying the UI has crashed. I can't use it anymore and I have to unplug it and reboot it.
After rebooting it loses the wallpaper I had setup, as far as I can see it's the only setting it loses.
As I hadn't had this problem with L, I went back to it. And same problem.
Do you know anything about that ? I searched this forum and the only thing that seemed to be near was this thread, but it doesn't exactly corrolate.
Thank you.

Check your web tracking code setup
Make sure that you're collecting data, and seeing it in your reports
There are a few ways you can check to see if the Google Analytics tracking code on your website is working. If you don't think it's working correctly, review your setup, or try to set up the web tracking code again.In this article:
Check your Real-Time reports
With Real-Time reports, you can monitor user activity as it happens. If you see data in these reports, it means that your tracking code is currently collecting data.
- Sign in to your Analytics account.
- Navigate to a view in the property to which you added the tracking code. If you only recently added the tracking code to this property (website), it is likely that there will only be one view.
- Select the Reporting tab.
- Select Real-Time > Overview.
Check the Tracking Status in your property
In every web property in your Google Analytics account, you can see the Tracking Status, which tells you if your tracking code is working or not.
- Sign in to your Analytics account.
- Navigate to the property to which you added the tracking code.
- Click on Tracking Info > Tracking Code. Click to expand this image and see where these options appear in the interface.
- Review the tracking code status message. Near the tracking ID (UA-XXXXX-XX), you'll see one of the following status messages:
- Waiting for Data
The tracking code has been detected on the homepage of your website, and the Google Analytics servers are updating your configuration before your data can be processed and appear in your reports.
- Tracking Not Installed or Not Verified
The tracking code isn't set up correctly on your web pages.
- Receiving Data
The tracking code is collecting and sending data to your property. You can still use the other tools, like the Google Analytics Debugger, to do a more in-depth analysis or to troubleshoot your setup.
- Unknown

2005 Parri Estate Noble Semillon
2005 Parri Estate Noble Semillon The Vineyard The 2005 Noble Semillon is a limited release from the Parri Estate vineyard at Mt Compass. A warm, dry 2005 growing season provided good conditions for sugar accumulation and berry shrivel and late rains ensured a healthy but controlled 'botrytis' or 'noble rot' infection in the Semillon. Harvested from the 'Gully' block in June 2005, all fruit was hand picked into 500kg bins where it was allowed to soak over night to extract sugar and some botrytis character from the skins before being transported to the winery. Winemaking Fruit was gently pressed to extract its delicate flavour and then cold settled for 48 hours. The juice was then racked off solids and inoculated with a selected yeast strain. Fermentation was conducted at 14 degrees Celsius and lasted for 10 days. The wine was then cooled, SO2 added and settled for one week. After settling, the wine was racked, cold stabilised and prepared for bottling in September 2005. Tasting Notes The 2005 Parri Estate Noble Semillon is a sweeter, elegant white wine style with some botrytis influence. Pale straw in colour, it displays aromas of nectarine, orange and citrus peel and flavours of sweet stone fruits. The palate is light and delicate with good length, and crisp acidity. Complementary to fruit, cheese and light desserts this wine will cellar for up to 5 years. Technical Information Region: Southern Fleurieu Peninsula Sugar at Picking: 15.5° Baume Mt Compass, South Australia Alcohol: 11.5% v/v Variety: 100% Semillon Total Acidity: 7.6 g/L Closure: Cork pH: 3.10 EAN Barcode: 9332751005029 Residual Sugar: 62.8g/L Bottle Size: 375 ml Parri Estate….Discover Estate Grown. www.parriestate.com.au

Negroponte Offers to Collaborate with India on $35 Tablet
One Laptop Per Child project founder wants to help the country realize their tablet efforts.
Nicholas Negroponte, project founder of One Laptop Per Child, offered to collaborate with India's Ministry of Human Resource Development to realize the country's aspirations for a US$ 35 laptop. OLPC has had a checkered relationship with the MHRD, which initially rejected the OLPC initiative saying, "It would be impossible to justify an expenditure of this scale on a debatable scheme when public funds continue to be in inadequate supply for well-established needs listed in different policy documents," the ministry said.
Negroponte's offer is being viewed by many as an attempt at collaboration, something OLPC has failed to adopt in the past. Negroponte has said that competition would hurt the OLPC initiative, but he now seems more willing to embrace competitors.
India's US$ 35 laptop is currently unnamed. The device was developed by students and teachers at The Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur, Mumbai, Chennai and Kharagpur and the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore. It was built on open source technologies and features a Web browser, a multimedia player, PDF reader, Wi-Fi connectivity, and video conferencing capabilities.

In this report Amnesty International says that thousands of women have been raped in Sudan and Chad since the armed conflict began in Darfur in 2003. There have certainly been thousands. The names of 250 women who had been raped, and harrowing information about their cases, were recorded by Amnesty International on a 10-day visit to just three refugee camps in Chad in 2004. Recent months have seen a dramatic increase in the numbers of rapes as Darfur has been plunged into new fighting. In just one camp in Darfur, Kalma camp, the International Rescue Committee reported that rapes of women rose from under four to 200 a month during five weeks in July and August 2006. Overall, despite the presence of an African Union peacekeeping force (African Union Mission in Sudan, AMIS) and international awareness of what is happening in Darfur, in 2006 rapes and other violence against women and girls have increased, not diminished.

Press Release |
Fitch Rates Mass Water Resources Authority Revs 'AA+'; Outlook Stable
* Reuters is not responsible for the content in this press release.
http://pdf.reuters.com/htmlnews/8knews.asp?i=43059c3bf0e37541&u=urn:newsml:reuters.com:20130214:nBw146244a AUSTIN, Texas--(Business Wire)-- Fitch Ratings assigns the following ratings to Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, Massachusetts' (MWRA, or the authority) bonds: --Approximately $300 million general revenue refunding bonds, 2013 series A rated 'AA+'. The bonds are scheduled to sell the week of Feb. 25 via negotiation. Bond proceeds will be used to refund certain outstanding bonds of the authority for interest savings without extension of maturity. In addition, Fitch affirms the following ratings of the authority: --$3.5 billion general revenue bonds at 'AA+'; --$1.1 billion subordinate general revenue bonds at 'AA'. The Rating Outlook is Stable. SECURITY The bonds are secured by a first lien on net revenues of the authority, derived largely from wholesale rates and charges assessed on local units of government. The bonds are also secured by a cash funded debt service reserve. KEY RATING DRIVERS REGIONAL PROVIDER OF ESSENTIAL SERVICE: MWRA provides an essential service to a large and diverse service area with strong economic underpinnings. STRONG PROTECTIONS ENSURE PAYMENT: Local governments served by the authority are required to pay for MWRA services as a general obligation, and non-payment is subject to a tested state aid intercept. ABILITY TO SET RATES INDEPENDENTLY: The authority maintains independent rate-setting authority, prudent budgetary practices, comprehensive long-term planning, and vigilant project oversight and prioritization of its capital program DIMINISHED FLEXIBILITY: Financial flexibility has diminished over time due to significant leveraging. As the authority enters into the peak years of debt service costs, end user charges will escalate further but should ultimately stabilize over time. DECLINE IN CAPITAL PROJECTS: The authority's capital improvement program (CIP) continues to transition from costly court-mandated projects to ongoing rehabilitation. IMPECCABLE COLLECTIONS: MWRA has achieved strong collection rates of 100% since its inception. ABUNDANT CAPACITY: The wholesale system benefits from an ample long-term water supply and sufficient excess water and sewer treatment capacity. RATING SENSITIVITIES ESCALATION IN CAPITAL COSTS: A reversal in decreasing capital expenses and the corresponding funding through debt would likely weaken MWRA's credit profile. DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE PRESSURE: A decline in total debt service coverage (DSC) could pressure the rating. CREDIT PROFILE LARGE SERVICE TERRITORY WITH STRONG ENFORCEMENT MECHANISMS MWRA provides wholesale water and wastewater services to 61 communities located primarily in eastern Massachusetts. Almost 2.8 million people (or 43% of the population of the commonwealth) reside in the authority's service area. The largest of these is the city of Boston, which contributes approximately one-third of MWRA's revenue derived from rates and charges (Fitch rates the Boston Water and Sewer Commission's [BWSC] revenue bonds 'AA+', Stable Outlook). The service area is generally economically diverse, and wealth levels are above state and national averages. The 61 local communities included in the service area are required to pay for MWRA services as a general obligation, and rate-setting is not subject to any limitations, including the state's Proposition 2 1/2. These protections, coupled with the authority's ability, pursuant to its enabling act, to utilize a local aid intercept to recover amounts unpaid by one of its member communities, excluding revenues of the BWSC, provide significant operating flexibility and are important credit considerations. HIGH RATES LIMIT FLEXIBILITY MWRA's rates are an ongoing credit concern as flexibility continues to diminish. However, the size of needed rate hikes has trended downward in recent years as annual capital spending has begun to decline to a more manageable level. Over the last five years through fiscal 2013 the authority raised rates on average by a moderate 3.2% annually. For fiscals 2012 and 2013, the board adopted nominal rate hikes of 3.5% and 3.0%, respectively, in order to give ratepayers some degree of rate relief amid the economic downturn. Rates are forecast to rise by an annual average of 5.8% through fiscal 2018 to keep pace with rising debt service. STABLE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE The authority's financial operations have remained relatively stable despite escalating debt service and a reliance on modest rate hikes. Historical DSC on senior lien obligations has been strong, averaging over 1.9x over the prior five fiscal years, and all-in coverage has been adequate at just above the 1.1x threshold established by bond resolution. Fiscal 2012 ended with a sizeable operating surplus that was prudently applied to the retirement of approximately $34 million of outstanding senior and subordinate lien bonds and DSC was in line with historical averages. Liquidity remained at a favorable level with unrestricted cash equal to 340 days cash. SUBSTANTIAL LEVERAGE TEMPERED BY IMPROVING CAPITAL CYCLE Projected spending for capital projects spanning fiscal years 2014-2018 is estimated at $732 million and includes a significant shift in funding priorities from regulatory compliance projects to more renewal and replacement (R&R) of system assets. Estimated spending for asset protection will rise to over 50% of the capital program compared to 30% in the prior CIP. Conversely, costs related to the ongoing court-mandated combined sewer overflow (CSO) control plan will drop to just 4% of capital spending versus 38% over the prior five years. To date, 29 of the 35 mandated projects included in the authority's long-term CSO control plan are complete, with the balance in construction and expected to be complete by the fiscal 2015 deadline. The authority's CIP remains sizeable but is significantly below historical spending levels driven by the cleanup of Boston Harbor in the 1990s and the completion of the majority of the CSO master plan in recent years. Fitch believes future capital costs will remain manageable given MWRA's vigilant project oversight and its board's self-imposed spending cap for capital projects. Funding for capital needs will continue to come almost entirely from long-term borrowings, including revenue bonds and state loans. The authority's debt levels have been and will remain high for the foreseeable future due to historical borrowings. Debt to net plant is notably high at 98%, and annual debt service costs consume about half of gross annual revenues. Fitch expects this trend to continue. SOUND OVERSIGHT OF VARIABLE-RATE DEBT PORTFOLIO Exposure to variable-rate debt and derivatives is fairly sizeable, although management's demonstrated ability to prudently monitor debt portfolio performance offsets this risk. Of the total amount of debt outstanding, approximately 20% is variable rate with each series of variable-rate bonds backed by liquidity agreements from a diverse pool of liquidity providers. With this transaction, a portion of MWRA variable-rate bonds will be refunded with fixed-rate bonds, reducing the authority's variable-rate exposure to 18% of total bonds outstanding; MWRA expects to continue decreasing its variable-rate portfolio through at least fiscal 2018. Almost 60% of outstanding variable-rate debt is hedged through floating-to-fixed-rate swaps. The outstanding notional amount totals $658 million, and the most recent (January 2013) mark-to-market value of the swaps totaled negative $174 million. Termination payments are subordinate to all debt service payments and events resulting in automatic termination are considered remote. Unrestricted cash adjusting for swap exposure remained at a healthy level in fiscal 2012, equal to 212 days. Additional information is available at 'www.fitchratings.com'.

Council demands cut to management staff
The message from the Farmington City Council to city administrator Peter Herlofsky is perfectly clear -- one of the city's management staff has to go.
After another two-hour budget workshop Monday, council members agreed to most of the recommended budget adjustments brought to them, with the exception of one. They agreed to a projection of $340,000 in building permit revenues for 2011. They agreed to an estimated $200,000 in contingency interest revenue.

Argentina travel to Ecuador today for their latest World Cup qualifier with a big question mark hanging over star striker Lionel Messi. A victory would all but ensure the twice world champions' place at next year's showpiece in Brazil, but without Messi, Argentina are not the same animal.11 Jun 2013 - 4:27am
Lionel Messi came off the bench to move Barcelona within two points of clinching the La Liga title with a 4-2 win over Real Betis at Camp Nou. Dorlan Pabon and Ruben Perez had twice given the visitors the lead in the first half either side of Alexis Sanchez's equaliser.7 May 2013 - 5:34am
Victory for Barca at the San Mames and defeat for Real in the Madrid derby at the Calderon would have given the leaders an unassailable 16-point advantage with five matches left.28 Apr 2013 - 11:22am
Xavi Hernandez believes Barcelona are still favourites in their Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain despite a number of key injuries in defence and the possibility that Lionel Messi could also miss the second-leg.10 Apr 2013 - 4:13am
Lionel Messi will miss Barcelona's Spanish league match this weekend because of his hamstring injury, but may be fit to play in the Champions League return leg against Paris Saint-Germain.
Messi was substituted at halftime of Tuesday's 2-2 draw against PSG in Paris, having scored the first goal of the game before injuring his right leg.4 Apr 2013 - 9:39am
PSG came from behind twice to draw 2-2 with the Catalans at the Parc des Princes in a pulsating first leg, with Blaise Matuidi's stoppage-time shot squirming through the grasp of visiting keeper Victor Valdes.4 Apr 2013 - 11:37am
Argentina is four points clear at the top of the qualifying table and enjoy an 11-point gap to the first team outside the four automatic qualifying positions with just six games left. Yet the trip to Bolivia brings with it some bad memories for Messi and his teammates.26 Mar 2013 - 3:15am
Lionel Messi scored once and set up two goals as Argentina beat Venezuela 3-0 to remain in control of the South American qualifying race for the next year World Cup on Friday.
The Argentinian skipper was the architect of two Gonzalo Higuain strikes which came either side of an emphatic Messi penalty on the stroke of half-time at the Monumental Stadium.23 Mar 2013 - 2:36pm
Barcelona assistant manager Jordi Roura was delighted at the understanding between Lionel Messi and David Villa as they combined for all of Barca's goals in a 3-1 win over Rayo Vallecano.19 Mar 2013 - 5:32am
Barca face a huge task to overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit against AC Milan at the Camp Nou on Tuesday but Messi said he was hoping the occasion would help lift them out of their recent slump.9 Mar 2013 - 4:06am
Barca made an almost faultless start to the season, only dropping points in the league before Christmas with a 2-2 draw with Real Madrid at the Camp Nou, while they also lost against Celtic in the group stage of the Champions League.26 Feb 2013 - 3:49am
Barcelona stretched their advantage at the top of La Liga to 15 points as two goals in eight minutes just before the hour mark from David Villa and Lionel Messi clinched a 2-1 win over Sevilla.25 Feb 2013 - 4:13am
Messi's first goal was also his 300th in a Barcelona jersey and Roura was particularly relieved for his efficiency in front of goal on a night when some of his teammates had passed up a number clear chances.18 Feb 2013 - 3:15am

Does anyone know much about the yeast in this hefe.
Has anyone rescued it??
Is it even the same stuff they use to ferment or is it some other yeast they use for bottle conditioning/taste (either way its delicious).
German Hefe Weizens use a lager yeast when bottling.
I've saved some in the past and made a starter out of it, but it just coagulated in the bottom of my bottling bucket. I had to pour everything back into the bucket and let it settle out.
Not to hijack your thread, but to go along with your question: Where do breweries like Franziskaner, Paulaner and so on get there HW yeast? Have they been harvesting it from their beers for years and years?
