Broken heart...
Tuesday the 24th was the one month anniversary of my dads passing. I don't know that it was any harder than any of the other days... EVERY day is hard. I think of him 24/7 he is the first thing, last thing, and everything in between. I can't stop going over all of the amazing things he did, for me, and everyone, that went unnoticed. I never knew that I could miss someone sooooo much. I wish so bad I could have spent a little more time with him in my last few months, but I was just to sick to do anything. I think the hardest thing for me right now is life keeps going on around me.... and mine is just at a stand still. Everything we do feels so incomplete without him. MaCee turned 2, and although we were surrounded by family that loves us, I felt so alone without my daddy. I worry that this sad, heartbroken, empty me is the new me, the me that my kids are going to remember. So, I try to put on a smile and do everything day to day that I always have, but it is SO hard. My dad was the only one that I think truly supported my love for babies. When Mike & I were discussing adopting again, and my heart knew so strongly it was right, but I just couldn't convince Mike. My dad said,"Honey I think your crazy, but you have the biggest heart of anyone I know, if anyone can do it, its you!" I don't know if this pain ever goes away, but I wish so bad I cold just forget for a few moments, and feel complete again. In everything we do, everyday, I am making sure my kids have memories of him. We talk about him constantly, and I will never stop that. On top of the fact that I am broken. His position as the Operator of the Roosevelt Packaging Agency is going to be filled within the next few weeks. What that means for me is at least 3 phone calls a day from people that pretend like they care what I'm going through... but really just want his job. I finally have stopped answering the phone if I don't know the number. Also we are dealing with the U of U right now, on December 31st our Cobra ran out so as of January I could get everyone else insured, but no one would insure me. So when I got sick in January was life flighted, in the hospital forever, blah blah blah... I racked up a 200,000 dollar medical bill. While I am sometimes dragging, and wondering why all of this is happening, I keep thinking because I am meant to be. For some reason through every life threatening illness, almost bleeding to death, etc. I am still here, for some reason our AMAZING Lord needs me here. He must have big plans for me. I know this is pretty conceded but "I'm Kind Of A Big Deal," or at least he thinks I am! Sorry for my ranting and raving, sometimes I just feel like this is the only place I can do it.
2 of my favorite boys!
God has you in his arms... I have you in my heart! Love and miss you so much!!!

It has been 10 days since I lost one of the most wonderful men that I will ever know... my Daddy. My heart is so broken, I don't even know were to start picking up the pieces and trying to put it back together. How do you ever get past the things that you wish you could have had a chance to say, or do. This morning as I headed to the hospital for my 3rd Chemo treatment, for one moment it slipped my mind that he was gone and I grabbed my phone to text him, and let him know that I was having a treatment today. Then just as quickly as I had forgotten, it all came back to me. I am only 26... I'm not ready to do it on my own... I need him to guide me. One of the hardest parts of this is my children, my older boys I think are starting to understand that he is NEVER coming back, and they are sad. They want to do things with Grandpa Kenny. Uh... I guess this is all for today... I am sure I will have many more to come. Thank you for all of your love and support.

We made a wish... And he came true!
I am sitting in a hospital bed... getting a chemo treatment... and thinking... I am soooo blessed!!! How could I such a simple girl get so lucky? Someone must have a plan for me, because despite all of the illness and hard times I always bounce back in full force!!! Anyway onto the reason I am posting today. I have wanted to blog about this for almost 2 month now, and today I finally have enough time to sit down and do it. February 6th I took a quick trip to Salt Lake to drop some paperwork off to the agency that they needed to have before the day Maddox was born. To my surprise they asked if I would want to have lunch with his amazing birth mother, well of course I agreed. As I drove over I remember asking Mike if he thought it was to crazy to ask her if I could touch her belly, he thought it was a little weird. After visiting with her for a while and discussing all that you can in about an hour, I decided I didn't care if it was crazy. My little baby boy was in that belly and I wanted to feel him. So I said your going to think I'm nuts but can I feel your belly, we both teared up and it was a few moments that I will never forget. As we both left that day I was so emotional, and in the car on the way home I kept crying and crying. I remember thinking maybe I am insane... but I think he knew it was me... he knew it was his mommy... and we bonded. After Maddox was born I couldn't get enough of him, but as Thursday and Friday rolled around I wasn't feeling well. Well wasn't feeling well turned into Life flight and 16 days in the hospital. This was the sickest I have ever been, the second night in the hospital I went to stand up and collapsed, I was paralysed from the waste down, it was the scariest thing I have ever had to deal with. All I could think of was how am I going to be able to do everything, the doctors were cautiously optimistic that I would get movement back, but said that only 1/3 of people do with
Transverse Myelitis
. That is all in the past, I have gotten full movement back, which is absolutely amazing and once again I am in awe at what a miraculous father we have inn heaven. During that time I would only get to see the kids every few days, therefore not leaving me much time to bond with Maddox. It worried me what would happen when we got home, I didn't know how it would be. I shouldn't have let myself worry, because as I said before we had bonded, God knew this was coming and made sure that bond wasn't lost. Maddox is such a little mommies boy, he loves his mommies touch, and is so called by me. I don't think many things are better than having that unconditional love of a child!
This little man is such an angel... and a little heartbreaker!

Maddox Moon... and other happenings!
Sorry it has been soooo long since I've posted but life has been a little insane! Maddox made his appearance January 10th @ 9:38 P.M. after 14 hours of waiting in a waiting room Mike & I couldn't wait to get our hands on that little man, who was suprisingly LITTLE he weighed in at 5 lbs. 10oz. It was such an amazing experience, but I will blog about all of that later. Maddox was discharged the 14th, I wasn't feeling well that afternoon, so I went to the ER they said that I had a kidney infection and sent me home on antibiotics. We then quickly drove home to have our whole little family together. That evening I had a fever of 104.6 and was having a lot of back pain, we drove to the ER near us the final diagnoses their was Meningitis, and they wanted to Life Flight me because they were worried I would crash. In short I was in the hospital for 16 days, but am doing amazing now a loving this little man, and all of my munchkins! Here are some of his first pics... I will get some more recent up ASAP, when I find my camara.

The MIRACLE of Adoption!!!
I have been trying to keep it in but I'm about to EXPLODE!!! We are going to be welcoming a perfect little baby boy into our family on Tuesday morning! Here is a little recap of how we got to this point. As of last summer, I had started the process of BEGGING Mike once again for another little one... he tried to say no, but its not something he can easily say to me. We started all of the paperwork again around the first of October and were complete and approved again within a few weeks. At this point we had said our preference was for a little girl. Something just didn't feel right that next month and a half. After much prayer and though, I had decided that maybe a baby girl wasn't God's plan for us this time, maybe he had a little something different in mind. We contacted our agency and told them that we wanted to open up or preference to boy or girl. I felt much more at piece about it all for the next month and a half. We waited, our profile was shown to a few situations, we were almost scammed, and we waited more. On January 4th a situation came up on facebook that caught my eye, an African American baby boy due January 10th. I begged, and begged, and begged Mike to let our profile be shown. In the mean while I had contacted the agency and sent an application and our profile. On a whim the social worker felt like she should show us, so she did. She called me and said I shouldn't have done this but I showed you, and... "SHE LOVES YOU!!! " Now I had to convince Mike, so I prayed and prayed that the big man would give me a little help on this... he did! Friday I ran to SLC to finish a little paperwork, and the most miraculous thing happen. I was able to meet our babies birth mother. She is such an amazing woman, and seems like a wonderful person. I am so happy that God choose such a sweet, kind, perfect woman to carry our little man to his forever family! So thats it, that is what I have been trying so hard to keep secret but just can't anymore because I am like a little kid on Christmas!!! So please pray for all of us... please pray that our birth mother has peace in her heart and guidance from her savior... please pray that I will survive the next 2 days!!! :)

Chocolate-Honey-Almond Tartlets
- Total Time:
- 2 hr 15 min
- Prep:
- 5 min
- Inactive:
- 2 hr
- Cook:
- 10 min
- Yield:
- 16 tartlets
- Level:
- Easy
- 5 graham crackers (about 2 3/4 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon slivered almonds
- 1/4 stick (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, at room temperature
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, such as Ghirardelli (5 ounces)
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons honey
Special equipment: one 24-cup mini-muffin tin and 16 mini-cupcake liners
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Fill a mini-muffin tin with mini-cupcake liners.
Add the graham crackers and almonds to the bowl of a food processor. Process until the mixture forms fine crumbs, 15 to 20 seconds. Add the butter and pulse until incorporated. Place 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture into each lined muffin cup and use your fingers or a shot glass to gently press down the mixture. Bake for 8 minutes, rotating the muffin tin halfway through, until the crusts are firm.
Add the chocolate chips to a medium bowl. In a small saucepan, whisk the cream and honey together over low heat until the honey has dissolved. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to just below a boil. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and whisk until the mixture is smooth. Pour 1 tablespoon of the chocolate filling into each muffin cup. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

New Dissertation Abstract Institution: Stockholm University Program: Centre for Research on Bilingualism Dissertation Status: Completed Degree Date: 2001 Author: Niclas Abrahamsson Dissertation Title: Acquiring L2 Syllable Margins. Studies on the simplification of onsets and codas in interlanguage phonology Linguistic Field: Phonology Dissertation Director 1: Bjorn Hammarberg Dissertation Abstract: This thesis deals with developmental, universal, grammatical, and functional factors involved in the acquisition of L2 syllable structure. More specifically, using speech data from Spanish and Chinese learners of Swedish, the thesis examines the production and development of syllable onsets and codas; that is, syllable margins. In doing so, the present work draws on various theoretical considerations and empirical findings from research on L1 and L2 acquisition, phonology and phonetics, language variation and language typology. The thesis includes three empirical studies, all of which are based on longitudinal conversational data. Study I deals with the acquisition of word-initial /sC(C)/ onsets by one native Spanish speaker, whereas Study II and Study III focus on the acquisition of word-final codas by three native Chinese speakers. Study I and Study II both showed that onset and coda length and phonetic environment are influential factors in the production of syllable structure, while sonority may not be as reliable a predictor of production difficulty. Next, both Study I and Study III provide evidence of a U-shaped rather than linear development of pronunciation accuracy. This pattern is interpreted as an effect of initial increase in fluency, with more focus on content and less on form. In addition, Study III showed that L2 proficiency is related to the epenthesis-deletion differential. An increasing ratio of epenthesis-to-deletion is the first-order indicator of increasing L2 proficiency during early stages of acquisition, but increased target-like production becomes the first-order indicator of development at later stages. Finally, Study III showed that learners are aware of potential ambiguity resulting from simplification in different grammatical/functional categories. Codas that are essential for the retention of semantic information are preserved through higher accuracy rates and higher relative levels of epenthesis errors.Mail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue

Nikon 1 J3
The J3 improves on its predecessors with greater resolution, 14.2 megapixels vs. 10.1. As with the previous versions, the J3 can shoot in uncompressed (RAW) format as well as JPEGs. The camera has a 13.2mm x 8.8mm CMOS sensor (a 2.7 crop factor), a 921,000 dot, three-inch diagonal LCD monitor and 1080 HD video capability, along with the ability to record slow motion video. The camera uses Nikon's "hybrid" autofocus system, which uses a combination of phase detection and contrast detection to achieve quick and accurate focus under varied conditions. The J3 has several continuous shooting options. It can record up to five frames per second with the flash enabled and either 15, 30 or 60 frames per second for recording without the flash. The camera can be used in manual, shutter priority and aperture priority modes, though functions such as shutter speed and aperture can be set only by delving deep into the camera's menu. In addition to its manual modes the camera has some interesting creative shooting modes. It uses standard SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards.
- Small size, attractive appearance
- Reliably quick performer
- Very good image and movie quality
- Many interesting features as well as manual controls
- Requires frequent access to the menu
- Fair battery life
- Fragile pop-up flash
Quick Take
The Nikon 1 J3 is a slick little camera with plenty of features and a couple of upgrades. It has a 14.1 MP CMOS sensor and hybrid AF.

W e invited each of the North American essayists in our feature Too Many or Too Few? The Postdoc Production Policy Debate to read and consider the following document before responding to the ?thought questions? at the end.
Postdoc Production
The number of science postdocs in the United States is on the rise. In fact, the number of biomedical postdocs alone is outpacing the rate of growth of the U.S. labor force by a factor of 3, according to estimates made for the National Research Council?s 2000 book Addressing the Nation?s Changing Needs for Biomedical and Behavioral Scientists . And this is probably an underestimate--many institutions use multiple classifications for postdocs and have no employment-tracking system, making it very difficult to get an accurate count.
Differential classification of postdocs begs the question: What is a postdoc, anyway? Traditionally, postdoctoral positions have been thought of as temporary training for full-time academic or research positions (see FASEB?s definition in a recent Next Wave article). But with scientists remaining in postdoc positions for longer and longer periods, some have begun to seek the benefits and rights given to employees. One might wonder--has the postdoc become a job?
The classification of postdocs is only one symptom of a lack of policy where postdocs are concerned. Postdoc stipends are unregulated at many academic institutions, with no set minimum, no review process, and no annual increase policy. It is only very recently that some universities are starting to use the NIH?s National Research Service Award levels as guidelines, and only a few of these universities have actually created a policy stating that the NRSA levels are the de facto minimum.
Well, then, if the compensation is low and if there are so many postdocs already, why would anyone want to be a postdoc? In some disciplines, newly minted Ph.D.s simply have no choice. What used to be a voluntary 1- to 2-year training period to learn additional skills and develop an independent project has become a required 4- to 5-year (or longer) apprenticeship period for scientists in many fields. Scientists in some disciplines--such as genetics and neuroscience--do more than one postdoctoral stint. Postdocs have become a sizable fraction (about 12%) of the science and engineering Ph.D. workforce at research universities, according to NSF data. In the life sciences, they make up about 20% of the Ph.D.s working at research universities. And if one considers a broad definition of ?postdoc? as Ph.D. scientists who are employed at universities but are not on the tenure track, then the number of life science postdocs could be about one-third the size of the life sciences faculty in the United States.
Postdoc positions are easy to get; tenure-track faculty positions are not. These days, the academic postdoc position has become a ?holding pattern,? a place where scientists wait it out until obtaining a faculty position. And when postdocs finally do obtain a faculty position, that job is often not on the tenure track: According to the NRC report mentioned above, the number of biomedical nontenure-track employees has mushroomed 10-fold from 668 in 1975 to 6822 in 1997.
Thought Questions
How would you define ?postdoc?? Is it clearly an apprenticeship/training position, or is it in fact a job? Is it required in your field or economic sector? How would you assess the numbers of Ph.D. graduate students and postdocs? Are there too many or too few? Are the numbers ?just right?? If there are too many or too few Ph.D.s and postdocs, what can and should the major players (government, industry, and educational institutions) do to remedy the problem? Are these players currently helping or hurting the situation? Below are some remedies and strategies that have been proposed by those who say that there are too many Ph.D. students and postdocs. Are any of these feasible? Do you have other suggestions?
Limiting supply. One of the NRC?s recommendations was this: ?There should be no growth in the aggregate number of Ph.D.s awarded in the basic biomedical sciences.? Can and should government agencies and/or universities control the supply of Ph.D.s? Should the numbers of visas to foreign scientists (who make up about 50% of the postdoc population) be further restricted? Should the supply be limited by reducing scientific outreach to high schools--that is, should we stop encouraging young people from entering science as a career? Is it ethical to encourage the production of more Ph.D.s? What are the pros and cons of limiting the pool of trained scientists? Redefining success. Should an academic job be the only "positive" career outcome for a Ph.D.? Do you believe that alternative career outcomes are adequately articulated for graduate students and postdocs? Do you believe that students and postdocs have adequate support in exploring other career options? Given the FASEB definition of a postdoc, should those interested in a nonacademic career path be discouraged from applying, or can the postdoc be viewed as extra science training for a myriad of legitimate careers besides the academic track? Examine tenure. Should some or most postdoc positions be reclassified as nontenure-track staff research positions within labs of tenure-track PIs? What about tenure? Is the tenure process important to the progress of science?

Quote: Please, and remember, when it comes to tropical meteorology, it is always best to view the current situation in an objective mentality, instead of in an subjective. YOU, may think that her fatal fate ahs been sealed; however, the rest of us on here, do not quite yet agree with you're sentiment in that regard, quite yet, Mike. I came here looking unfavored and unbaised data, can we keep it that way. Look, alright, she may fizzle; however, are the constant reminders REALLY necessary. This has been a deplorably dismel cane season, although I do not wish death nor destruction to be bethowed upon anyone because of these creatures, at the same time, I welcome this late-season excitement, have you've caught my drift in this regard, Mike? I would hope so. Lastly, let's hope 2010 really brings us all something to really talk about, we'll see, though. Cheers,
Quote: Not every day you see an eye in a relatively weak tropical storm. I suspect we're going to see some pretty rapid intensification with this storm. Which will really throw any model runs off. The storm isn't really moving much either, so even though it's relatively close to land, it's not going to be severely impacted by the proximity for a while. I think Ida will be a hurricane. And sooner than people would have expected.
Quote: If Ida deepens rapidly, it would lean more toward a northward motion than west, if it weakens it would likely go more west.

All formulations of commercially available highly crosslinked ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) have demonstrated dramatic reduction in wear compared to conventional UHMWPE. A majority of these demonstrations have been under "smooth," i.e., non-abrasive conditions. The question, therefore, remains: are contemporary highly crosslinked UHMWPE (XPE) materials suitable for both hips and knees under abrasive conditions in vivo? These studies examined both XPE (10Mrad, GUR1050) and non-irradiated UHMWPE (GUR1050) for hips and knees under smooth and abrasive conditions. Studies were conducted on a 12-station hip and 6-station knee simulator. The femoral components were left polished or tumbled with plastic cones and alumina powder to create uniform scratching with surface roughness similar to clinical retrievals. In smooth conditions, XPE wore significantly less than non-irradiated UHMWPE (CPE) for both hips and knees. In abrasive conditions, wear of XPE increased by at least 15 times in hip applications and at least 70 times in knee applications. Furthermore, XPE knees wore more than CPE knees in the abrasive condition. This study showed that both forms of UHMWPE were subject to accelerated wear under abrasive conditions; however, the sensitivity of XPE to abrasive wear was greater for knees than for hips. These findings need to be taken into consideration when developing materials for improved wear resistance in knees.

Shadow went missing a few nights ago. I left the front door unlocked and he learned how to open it while I slept. I took that day off work to look for him, but never found him. He didn't come back the next day either. The day after that I plastered the town with lost kitty posters and put an ad on craigslist. Yesterday I finally went down to the humane society and reported him missing, and updated his microchip info because I had moved and got a new phone. He wasn't at the shelter then, but an hour after I left they called me and said that Caltrans had dropped him off deceased. He must have wandered onto the freeway and got hit by a car. I'll miss you baby. :( http://www.pawprintpetphoto.com/kissmommy.AVI

An Authentic Spanish style mansion, the Hacienda de las Flores sits on land that was once the hunting ground for Miwok Indians. The historic Town-owned structure is painted white with blue trim, and is surrounded by beautifully maintained park grounds. Inside the Hacienda, hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, a fire place and red leather furniture create a warm and inviting setting. Outdoors, a large lawn spreads out behind the building, enhanced by blue spruce trees, weeping willows, palms and flowers. A circular flower bed and fountain in the middle of the patio serve as the focal point for large parties or wedding receptions.
From the upper Hacienda lawn, flagstone stairs lead down to the Pavilion, a semi-circular building with huge Corinthian columns overlooking a walled garden with lawn and patio. A set of large wrought-iron gates leads guests into the enclosure, where small seated functions or ceremonies can take place.
Tranquil and secluded, the Hacienda de las Flores offers one of the prettiest garden environments for special events in the East Bay.
This romantic Spanish-style estate features a patio with central fountain, large lawn and beautifully landscaped gardens. Three rooms and newly renovated kitchen on the ground floor are included. (Upstairs, offices and private residence are not included.)
This classical style building with Roman columns consists of one main room, a small mirrored bar which is separated by large wooden doors and a small kitchen. The front of the building forms a semi-circular portico which adjoins the fully enclosed, circular patio, lawn and garden. The Pavilion is an ideal spot for a private business meeting, wedding, reception, or small party. Available April - October (closed November - March).
Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays May 1 - October 31

What did your baby eat today?
What food did your baby try/taste/enjoy/play with today?
Maeve enjoyed a steamed green bell pepper with a touch of stir fry sauce. She started out by throwing it all over the floor, but eventually gummed the heck out of it.
She only had a homemade blueberry muffin and some yogurt mixed with applesauce before she started blowing raspberries and I wouldn't give her anymore lol. She really didn't eat much food today which is very unlike her. I tried giving her a little chicken and lentils tonight but she just cried with it in her mouth :(

Quick and easy dinner! Great over rice. Quick and easy dinner! Great over rice.Number of Servings: 6
2.5 chicken breast pieces, no skin
black pepper
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 small onion
2 cans Healthy Request Cream of Mushroom Soup
Nonfat, organic Milk
Organic Canned Sweat Peas
Cook chicken breast (I use breast PIECES to save cook time) in water in a large pan. When chicken is fully cooked, take the chicken out of the pan and dice. Dump out the water you cooked the chicken in and replace chicken in the pan with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, sliced onions, quartered mushrooms, garlic, and black pepper. Sautee until onions are clear and mushrooms are tender. Add 2 cans Healthy Request Cream of Mushroom. Stir all ingredients until fully coated. As the Cream of Mushroom heats up, it will liquify more, so add about 1/4 c. of milk at a time until sauce reaches desired consistency. Once you have reached the desired consistency, add can of Sweat Peas. Add pepper to taste and serve over rice. (Also great over egg noodles.)

In an Aug. 20 opinion column, we learn that the writer, Aimee Gutshall, grew up on a farm, is studying at the MU College of Agriculture, and had a bad experience with someone trying to get her to sign a petition (who hasn't?). She then jumps to the amazing assertion that the petition initiative on the November ballot to end puppy mills in Missouri is a conspiracy.
According to Ms. Gutshall it is a plot by the Humane Society, "whose ultimate goal is to abolish animal agriculture." This is about as absurd an assertion as it is to claim the U.N. is going to attack Missouri with black helicopters or that President Barack Obama soon will force us all to become Muslims.
A vote for Proposition B is a vote to pass a law to reform the terrible cruelties to dogs in several mass breeding facilities. Newspapers constantly carry stories about the discovery of puppy mills with diseased animals in cramped cages, cages covered with feces or filled with dogs starving to death. To claim Proposition B is a conspiracy to abolish all animal agriculture is totally inaccurate and bizarre.
Proposition B is an effort to eliminate cruelty to animals and to end Missouri's reputation as one of the nation's worst centers for unregulated puppy mills.

Four people were killed when two cars collided early Saturday morning on U.S. 63 just north of Stadium Boulevard, Columbia police said Saturday.
The driver of the first vehicle was traveling south in the northbound lanes of U.S. 63, police said, and the vehicle struck the second vehicle head-on just before 2 a.m. As of Saturday, police said the southbound driver was 40 years old but had not released the name.
Alfredo Camacho of Columbia was driving the second vehicle, carrying passengers Erasmo Morales, 48, and Ricardo Reyes, 37, both of Needville, Texas.
All four people died at the scene of the accident. In the statement, Columbia police said it was not immediately clear why the unidentified driver was traveling in the wrong lane. Police are investigating the cause of the accident.

I have been high raw for about 2 weeks and i've decided today it's time to go full raw.
I want to make sure I don't binge on nonraw things tonight, because this is what happened the previous times I attempted going raw. Do you think it's ok if I eat a large amount of calories on my first week or so of adjusting to raw? I know i'll gain some weight but I want to make sure I don't binge on this attempt. (Although the goal of my raw diet does include losing weight.)
I'm also curious as to your vegetable/fruit ratio. I'm only a teen so I can't afford to eat 5 fruits every meal, it's really expensive. Would eating half fruit and half vegetable and the remaining 5-10% in nuts be an ok sounding plan?
Thanks all!

An Amarillo family of four was killed Sunday morning in New Mexico while driving back to the city after taking care of a sick family member in Mexico, family said.
Husband and wife Jorje and Maria Chairez and two of their children, Lidia, 13, and Anita, 7, all were killed in a two-vehicle collision about 40 miles northeast of Roswell, N.M., about 7:40 a.m. Amarillo time, New Mexico State Police said.
The Chairez family was traveling on U.S. Highway 70 toward Portales, N.M., when their 1994 Chevrolet extended cab pickup collided with a tractor-trailer, a sister-in-law of the family said. She said the two-vehicles collided head-on. She said police told her the two children were ejected from the vehicle upon impact, but Maria and Jorje were trapped inside when an apparent explosion occurred.
She said all four family members died at the scene.
Lidia was a student at Bowie Middle School; and Anita was a student at Sunrise Elementary School, family said.
Police had no information about the truck driver at press time today.
New Mexico State Police had not yet released any information about the collision or explosion at press time today. Lt. Larry Rogers was expected to release a statement this afternoon.
The family member said the Chairezes had taken a week-long trip to Mexico to visit family and take care of a sick family member.
The Chairezes are survived by a son, Jorje Chairez Jr., and a daughter, Angelita Chairez. Funeral arrangements were not immediately available.

You know - you are totally right - I meant to say 4 oz prepared (I'll correct it now), so you're really only using 4 oz of water with maybe a half teaspoon of bouillon. Thanks for the catch!

You are so welcome - and the recipe appeals to me even more!
about 4 years ago Lizthechef
Your recipe looks great except that 1 teaspoon of that Better Than Bouillon, at least the chicken, has 500 mg of sodium. Mathematically challenged, my mind reels at what 4 oz must contain. Again, your recipe caught my eye and looks so delicious that I doubt it needs all that added salt.Terrific photo - really captures the theme of the contest!

A registered sex offender was jailed under a $1 million bond Monday for falsifying information provided to the Gaston County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff's deputies charged James Armstead Hendricks, 37, with failing to report new address and failure to register.
He reportedly provided false information to the Sheriff's Office, according to the arrest warrant.
The N.C. Sex Offender Registry had Hendricks living at an address on the 1200 block of Blacksnake Road in Stanley. The warrant states he was living at 4115 Blenhein Road in Charlotte.
A Mecklenburg County judge ordered Hendricks to register as a sex offender for a minimum of 10 years in 2008 after his conviction for sexual battery against a 9-year-old the year before.
Hendricks served 18 months probation as punishment for the 2007 offense.

Program Description: Overview: This interactive program will introduce evaluators to basic concepts and practices in evaluation in general, and with regard to the CDE State Model Evaluation System in particular. This three-day program begins on day one with a survey of key evaluation concepts and applications. It will draw heavily from the NSF Handbook of Project Evaluation (2010) guiding participants through rich examples of each of the integral steps in evaluation, including: development of a conceptual model of the program and identification of key evaluation points, development of evaluation questions and definition of measurable outcomes, development of an evaluation design, collection of data, analysis of data, and provision of information to interested audiences. From this experience w ith evaluation generally, participants engage on days 2 and 3 with the elements of the CDE State Model Evaluation System including: the critical Effects of S.B. 10-191, priorities of implementation, the evaluation process, professional practice, framew orks/standards/elements for principals, teachers, and specialized service professionals, the structure/components/scoring of the rubrics, inter-rater agreement, measures of student learning/outcomes, and how to determine the final rating. A key feature of the entire program is opportunity for application of new ideas as multiple time periods are set aside for processing and practice.

A family story tells of William Francis moving from Tennessee to Haywood County, N.C. to seek his fortune. William met, courted and proposed to Polly Almon, daughter of Gideon Almon. Mr. Almon was supposedly the richest man in Western North Carolina at that time. It was said that he owned all the land from Scotts Creek in Jackson County to the French Broad River in Buncombe County. Almon approved of the marriage of Polly to William, therefore he gave them one square mile of land for a wedding present. William Francis built the Francis Grist Mill in the middle of what was and is called Francis Cove. Family, friends and neighbors would meet at the mill to catch up on news and swap stories while their corn or wheat was being ground into meal or flour.
The original mill wheel was made of yellow poplar which was probably harvested in the vicinity of the mill. That wheel measured twenty-four feet in diameter. In 1914, William's son, M.P. Francis replaced the wooden wheel with a steel wheel, which came from Fitz Waterwheel in Hanover, Pennsylvania. Other components of the mill include a white granite rock used for grinding corn and a similar rock for grinding wheat. These rocks were brought in from Richmond, Indiana.
Dewey V. Francis inherited the Francis Mill upon the death of Monteville Pinkney Francis. Dewey was known for his regular operation of the mill. He commonly milled wheat, corn and grits for his family and the local community until his death in 1976. Dewey's daughter, Hester Ann Francis Boone then inherited the mill. Mrs. Boone dreamed of repairing and restoring the mill to its original condition, but was unable to see it accomplished due to the untimely death of her husband and personal health problems.
Today, Hester's daughter, Tanna Timbes, owns the mill and has joined with the Francis Mill Preservation Society in seeking help to protect the local treasure from further deterioration. The Francis Mill Preservation Society has received all state and federal approval for charitable, non-profit status.
In June 2013, the mill enjoyed another exciting event in its history. It received recognition by, and was inducted into the National Register of Historical Places.

"Us and Them" is a song by English progressive rock band Pink Floyd on their 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon. The music was written by Richard Wright and lyrics by Roger Waters and it is sung by David Gilmour, with harmonies by Wright. The song is 7 minutes, 51 seconds in length, making it the longest on the album.
"Us and Them" was released as the second single from The Dark Side of the Moon in the US and "bubbled under" the Billboard Hot 100 at #101 for three weeks in March 1974.[1] The single peaked at #85 in the Canadian charts.[2]
"Us and Them" is rather quiet in tone and dynamics, with prominent jazz influence, although the choruses are louder than the verses. It has two saxophone solos in it, one at the beginning and another towards the end of the song. Richard Wright introduces the song with harmonies on his Hammond organ, and put a piano chordal backing and short piano solo afterwards on the arrangement. The tune was originally written on the piano by Wright for the film Zabriskie Point in 1969 and was titled "The Violent Sequence".[3] In its original demo form it was instrumental, featuring only piano and bass. Director Michelangelo Antonioni rejected it on the grounds that it was too unlike material such as "Careful with That Axe, Eugene", which was the style of music he wanted to use. As Roger Waters recalls it in impersonation, Antonioni's response was: "It's beautiful, but is it too sad, you know? It makes me think of church".[4] The song was shelved until The Dark Side of the Moon, where Waters put some lyrics to it.
The verses have a unique, jazz-influenced chord progression: Dsus2, D6add9 (or Esus2/D), D minor major 7 (or Faug/D), and G/D (the D in the bass is sustained as a pedal point throughout). The D6 with an added 9th is not unlike an Esus2 with a D in the bass, but because the bass line also provides the fifth, it is more accurately described as a kind of D chord. The D minor chord with a major seventh is a rarity in 1970s rock music. There is also an alternate sequence, played louder and with multiple harmonies, with a progression of B minor, A major, G major seventh suspended second (Gmaj7sus2), enharmonic to the slash chord D/G, and C major. This progression is played twice between each verse, and is not unlike a chorus, except that the lyrics are different with each repeat.[5]
In the middle, there is a break during which roadie Roger "The Hat" Manifold speaks (during the recording of the album a number of interviews were laid down, including with Paul and Linda McCartney who were recording in the same studio).
It was also re-released on the 2001 best of album, Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd, where it is the seventh track of the second disc. The ending of the song was edited in this version, with the vocals from the last measure treated with heavy delay, and the music track muted entirely, to avoid the seamless transition to "Any Colour You Like" that occurs on The Dark Side of the Moon.[6]
Spoken parts[edit]
The following quotation takes place before the second saxophone solo (it is one of two spoken parts by the then band roadie Roger "The Hat" Manifold):
Well I mean, they're gonna kill ya, so like, if you give 'em a quick sh...short, sharp shock, they don't do it again. Dig it? I mean he got off light, 'cause I coulda given 'im a thrashin' but I only hit him once. It's only the difference between right and wrong innit? I mean good manners don't cost nothing do they, eh?[7]
Alternative and live versions[edit]
- The instrumental "Violent Sequence" was performed on a handful of occasions in early 1970. These performances were much the same as the Zabriskie Point demo, with some added percussion from Nick Mason. On at least two occasions, the song was paired with another piece from the Zabriskie sessions, "Heartbeat, Pigmeat".[8]
- In early 1972 performances, a short audio clip of a man groaning in tortuous pain would be played at the beginning of the song, immediately highlighting the song's theme of violence. The song did not include any saxophone and the lead vocals were performed by Waters and Wright, with David Gilmour providing backing vocals.
- It was occasionally featured as an encore during the band's 1977 "In the Flesh" tour (this was performed at most shows on the band's 1977 US tours during the encore). It was often used to intentionally calm the often rowdy stadium audiences.
- P·U·L·S·E and the second disc and video of Delicate Sound of Thunder feature this track. Both versions are shorter than the original studio recording, and the latter features a slightly altered saxophone solo.
- On Echoes, the song has a different ending: instead of segueing into what would be the next track on The Dark Side of the Moon ("Any Colour You Like"), engineer and Floyd collaborator James Guthrie gave the song a cold ending, before adding a backwards piano note that would lead into the collection's next track, "Learning to Fly".
- Waters included the song in his 2006–08 The Dark Side of the Moon Live tour, with Jon Carin replacing Gilmour on lead vocals.
- Waters performed the song during his set during the live TV Benefit concert "12-12-12: The Concert for Sandy Relief". (2012)
Cover versions[edit]
- The song has been covered by Between the Buried and Me on the album The Anatomy Of.
- An orchestrated version, arranged by Jaz Coleman and performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Peter Scholes, appears on the 1995 instrumental album Us and Them: Symphonic Pink Floyd.
- The song was also covered by the Scissor Sisters for their first album, but was cut. More recently, the song was covered by Swedish band, A Camp, and appeared as a B-side for their single "Love Has Left the Room".
- The song was also covered by American progressive metal band Dream Theater on 11 October 2005. It was later released as part of the official bootlegs series.
- The Flaming Lips included it as a part of their Dark Side of the Moon cover album.
- Misery Signals covered the song for the companion soundtrack to the video game Homefront.

15:29 9th November 2012
Solbakken's belief in long term project
Ståle Solbakken today re-affirmed his belief in aiming to revamp Wolves' style and believes there is plenty of progress still to come this season.
A run of five wins from six league games has been followed by just two points from the last five, leaving Wolves in 13th position heading into tomorrow's home game with Brighton.
The boss believes progress has already been made but is confident more sustained improvement will follow as his team continue to work on a new style of play.
"This is a project we want to be successful and that is not something that will be done overnight," he says.
"The players have responded well and are working well and we have made good progress in certain areas.
"Two points from five games is a disaster but it's very important to keep things in perspective and see that the players have taken on the challenges.
"It's a project and I am at the head of it but it's also important to understand that we have a certain base and we've come so far already.
"I think more progress will come along in time and I am not worried.
"If we can keep cool and not panic the players will believe in themselves.
"If we panic now that does no good to anyone but I'm sure than ever we're going in the right direction.
"If we all stick together with the fans and get three points tomorrow then we have a free week afterwards which doesn't happen too often in the Championship."
Solbakken is not hiding from the fact he does want improvements though, particularly perhaps with upping the tempo on certain occasions.
"I want to play a higher tempo game and we have done that for long periods at home," he added.
"But we're a young team in terms of playing together and also in terms of this way of playing.
"Defensively we have changed it around and are looking very solid – probably one of the most solid in the division and there aren't many games when the opposition have created many chances.
"Hopefully we can play at a bit faster tempo and be a bit more direct at times and get forwards more in the final third."
Elsewhere meanwhile Ronald Zubar and Frank Nouble are both scheduled for reserve team action tonight against Middlesbrough at Telford's New Bucks Head (7pm).

I just purchased the page lines platform and was having a great time and making progress on my site and then my secondary nav ended up at the bottom of the page for every column style I try. I have tried all that I could find in the forums on this issue and it seems like a very common one and not often resolved by the end of the thread. I even tried re-installing the theme and still it persists. I'm wondering if maybe it's not as simple as it seemed when I spent the 200 bucks. Any help is appreciated.

Programme - Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd, 'Official Opening of the New Kodak Manufacturing Plant by The Right Honourable R.G. Menzies', 1961 Reg. No: HT 22953
- Summary:
- Programme, printed on off-white card with a single fold. The programme details the running order for the opening function of the Kodak factory in Coburg, April 1961. It also features a location plan to guide visitors to the event.
Construction of the Kodak factory complex in Coburg began in 1957 on 23 hectares of former farmland. Since 1908, Kodak had been operating from the factory in Abbotsford and had gradually outgrown the premises. The Abbotsford factory remained operational while the Coburg plant was being built until it closed in1966. Architect Harry Norris of H A & F L Norris & Associates, created the design for the new factory and individual buildings for the manufacture of silver halide photographic products. The building contract was awarded to Lewis Constructions Pty Ltd. The still uncompleted complex was officially opened on 14 April 1961 by the Prime Minister, Robert G. Menzies with Dr. A Chapman, President of Eastman Kodak Company, in attendance. The complex was the national headquarters of Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd.
Kodak manufactured and distributed a wide range of photographic products to Australasia, such as film, paper, chemicals, cameras and miscellaneous equipment. Its client base included amateur and professional photographers, as well as specialist medical and graphic art professionals who used photography, x-ray and other imaging techniques.
This programme is part of the Kodak collection of products, promotional materials, photographs and working life artefacts collected from Kodak Australasia in 2005, when the Melbourne manufacturing plant at Coburg closed down. - Description:
