NEW for 2015 – Succulent Topiaries & Gardens
We're excited to be offering this incredible new line of succulent planters and topiaries for spring 2015! Offered as a trial in 2014 by the manufacturer, Theut Flower Barn, these were jumping off of the benches in garden centers in New England and along the eastern seaboard. Now they are available throughout the United States for the garden center buyers that act quickly.
Planted with a combination of hardy and tender succulents, these beauties will work well in sun or shade with very minimal care for the entire summer. They can be overwintered in the house so you can enjoy them for years.
The next generation of buyers in garden centers may not be looking for category specific products like annuals and/or perennials. Instead they will be looking for 'Garden Decorations', and these really fill the bill. With over 40 different designs and styles to choose from, there will be something of interest for everyone.
They are shipped via Less Than Load carrier or grower truck, assuring that they will arrive in as good of shape as when they leave the greenhouse. The shipping window is from March 1st through June 30th. The minimum order on Theut's Succulent Topiary program is $1,000.
For more information download the attached order form. To see more pictures of these gardens and topiaries visit our Pinterest page

This observatory was founded in 1896, in the heyday of astronomy. Its major claim to fame is having the largest telescope in the world, a 21 metre mammoth built by Friedrich Simon Archenhold, after whom the observatory is named. In 1915, Albert Einstein gave his first public lecture on the theory of relativity here. The museum encompasses two permanent exhibitions on the history and instruments of astronomy. Archenhold-Sternwarte is a star gazer's paradise.

Indonesia Stock Movers: Energi Mega, Greenwood, London Sumatra
Dec. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Shares of the following companies had unusual moves in Indonesian trading. Stock symbols are in parentheses, and prices are as of the close in Jakarta.
The Jakarta Composite Index climbed less than 0.1 percent to 3,797.15. The gauge increased 0.8 percent this week and has gained 2.5 percent this year. The market will be closed on Dec. 26 for a public holiday.
Palm oil producers: PT Astra Agro Lestari (AALI IJ), the nation's biggest plantation stock by market value, advanced 0.7 percent to 21,250 rupiah, the highest close since Dec. 12. PT Perusahaan Perkebunan London Sumatra Indonesia (LSIP IJ), the third-largest, increased 1.1 percent to 2,250 rupiah.
Palm oil climbed to the highest level in more than two weeks on concern that rains in Malaysia, the second-largest grower after Indonesia, may affect harvesting and curb production. The March-delivery contract rose as much as 2.1 percent to 3,162 ringgit ($1,002) a metric ton on the Malaysia Derivatives Exchange.
PT Energi Mega Persada (ENRG IJ), Indonesia's second-biggest listed oil company, declined 2.3 percent to 173 rupiah amid speculation its two-day, 13 percent jump this week was excessive, according to Ivan Kurniawan, an analyst at PT First Asia Capital in Jakarta. Energi Mega's relative-strength index, a moving average based on how rapidly prices have advanced or dropped, was 68 yesterday. A reading of 70 suggests to some investors the stock is poised to fall.
PT Greenwood Sejahtera (GWSA IJ), the property developer, sank 18 percent to 205 rupiah on its trading debut. The company raised 400 billion rupiah ($44 million) in an initial public offering to acquire land for its projects. Short-term investors hoping to realize gains on the first trading day sold the stock after seeing demand was weak, said Edwin Sinaga, president director at PT FinanCorpindo Nusa, a Jakarta-based brokerage.

Bad Ass Mo Fo
Sort of Experienced

Hunk and a Half
This jacket is extremely warm and I found it to be a lot better of a fit than the expedition that was a lot wider and shorter. I am 6'5", approx. 220lbs and purchased the XL. I probably could have worn the XXL but since it wasn't available in the Citadel, I decided to keep the XL. If someone my size was planning to wear several layers, I would definitely go with the XXL.
Never expected to own something this awesome. Warm, awesome looking, and style is beyond kool. If your mom buys you this, she is the koolest mom in the world, but if she doesn't buy it for you, you should definitely buy it yourself with your hard earned money, even if you are a college student like me.
He's about 5'10", 150 lbs and is wearing a medium. He's a skinny guy so it looks bulky to me, but he likes the fit because it gives him room for wearing a hoody. He has it cinched in a bit so it looks less bulky. Pockets on pockets on pockets. One pocket, two pocket. Seriously, it's pockets with a side of pockets. Canada Goose heard you liked pockets, so they put pockets in your pockets, so that way you have pockets to use alongside your pockets. To give you an idea how big the pockets are, a WiiU/PS4/Xbone case fits inside comfortably. The bracing wire in the hood is nice. Unnecessary, but helps keep the hood fixed on windy days. He struggles with the zipper. Mostly because he's never had a coat that is long like this one with a double zipper. He's adjusting slowly. The coat covers his bum and thighs for extra warmth and wind protection. Overall he's very happy with this jacket.
The boyfriend had no choice but to love it. Best jacket he ever had in his life! That's over 40 years of bad jackets. Thanks to me!!! Warm, water resistant, compliment his skin tone with 800 other reasons to love it. ( darn expensive! ) I'd recomend you to buy this for yourself but not as a gift unless you really love that person.
Basically this thing is a beast. you put this on and you are literally shielding yourself from the cold, you will simply not feel cold on your body (This is for Ann Arbor winters!) When I am wearing this I often will think "Oh its not that bad out" and then I will take my hands out the pockets and get a quick reality check. Definitely have to go down a size (in my case 2 compared to my north face size) like all Canada Goose but be mindful that this jacket has a longer cut, that goes mid thigh. It can make going up lots of stairs kind of annoying when zipped up fully, of course this is not a problem if the jacket is unzipped. I removed the coyote fur hood because I found it too flashy but it definitely is really warm and soft. Tons of pockets, I literally can put everything in it (you are not going to be able to reach you wallet when the jacket is zipped up because of the longer cut, but there are tons of pockets to keep your waller secure.) Best Winter coat I have ever owned Worth cost
I will provide some my experience. I tried this Citadel and also Expedition. Of course, expedition one is warmer, but it's bigger, 'relaxed one'. I like this Citadel, because I'm slim and it fits me well. I bought M size for Citadel. If I bought Expedition, I have to choose XS. Personal experience.
I am not exagerating when I say that I really only need a shirt under this parka...I use the Canada Goose Vest til it gets down into the thirties then I switch to this below that. The BEST and WARMEST you can get and you are buying from a company that stands behind their products.EVEREST STATUS
Very nice down jacket with silm design. Beautiful red color also can wear it in city.Remeber if you want to buy this one you must double confirm your Size!!I am 1.88 meter tall and 90Kg weight and my usual size is XL or L for other coat like NIKE or The north face. But for this Canada Goose M is fit me !!

The Environmental Protection Agency didn't detect elevated levels of contamination in 20 more water wells in Dimock Township, Pa., the agency said in a report. Residents there claim Cabot Oil & Gas polluted their wells with drilling chemicals. "This data confirms the earlier EPA finding that levels of contaminants found do not possess a threat to human health and the environment," said Cabot spokesman George Stark.

Q & A with Megan Mottley DIVINE publisher shares the gospel
Name: Megan Mottley.
Title: publisher, DIVINE Christian Lifestyle Magazine, divinemagazineonline.com.
Family: Five-year-old daughter, Kaitlin Michelle.
Why do you minister? Publishing a Christian lifestyle magazine is my way of bringing lost souls to Christ and giving those that already know Christ a magazine that they can enjoy reading.
What do you like to read? I love to read novels; they truly show the creative side of the author. I also love to read biographies so that I can discover how people overcame their struggles in life.
What is the best advice you have ever gotten? The best advice I ever received was received from my 11th-grade English teacher Joann Hollenbach. She said, "There is always room for improvement." Writing has always been my natural talent. This being said and after I made an "A" on an English report, I had to learn that even the best writers must always strive and dig deeper to become even greater writers.
What inspires you? In my case, it's a matter of who inspires me. My parents, Jerry and Beatrice Mottley, inspire me because they invested their entire lives in their children. They understood the true meaning of sacrifice and a love like that is definitely one to be admired. Furthermore, my parents inspire me because they possess genuine spirits and they maintain a happiness and peace through every type of situation and their example helps me to cope in life.
Fill in the blank: People may be surprised that... I teach language arts at my former middle school, Raleigh Egypt, where I once attended 7th-12th grade.

Part-time jobs: what women want?
- Alison L. Booth,
- Jan C. van Ours
- … show all 2 hide
Part-time jobs are common among partnered women in many countries. There are two opposing views on the efficiency implications of so many women working part-time. The negative view is that part-time jobs imply wastage of resources and underutilization of investments in human capital since many part-time working women are highly educated. The positive view is that, without the existence of part-time jobs, female labor force participation would be substantially lower since women confronted with the choice between a full-time job and zero working hours would opt for the latter. In the Netherlands, the majority of partnered working women have a part-time job. Our paper investigates, from a supply-side perspective, if the current situation of abundant part-time work in the Netherlands is likely to be a transitional phase that will culminate in many women working full-time. Our main results indicate that partnered women in part-time work have high levels of job satisfaction, a low desire to change their working hours, and live in partnerships in which household production is highly gendered. Taken together, our results suggest that part-time jobs are what most Dutch women want.

Long story short......bikes loaded on rear of car, driving on interstate, bike falls off rear of car, bike stolen off highway in the time it took for us to turn around to pick it up.Moral of story....called Yakima, complained about bike falling off on highway, mailed rack back to service department, Yakima ran tests to see if bike was loaded incorrectly or rack defective, check for total price of bike in my mailbox a few weeks later.Guess the bike rack was defective. But their customer service was fabulous. And now I use the replacement rack they sent me and have had no problems with it! All bikes have stayed in their place on the rear of car.
I am not really a fan of the super joe. It seems to always come loose and waggle around. This is disconcerting when you are watching your carbon fiber ride wave around in your rear view mirror. I wound up getting rid of it and getting a saris bones. It stays tight and doesn't rough up the trunk lid the way the joe does with its foam pads.
Does it's job like its supposed to, although holding three adult male bikes was a bit much for this guy but normally it will be carrying my girlfriends bikes so its perfect for her...It was a little tricky installing and getting the bikes to fit the first time but heck, I guess thats what the directions are for so I suggest you read them like we didn't!

The Wizards will look for their first win in March Sunday night as the struggling Philadelphia 76ers come to the Verizon Center (6 p.m. on CSN). With just four of their remaining 16 games in March against teams with winning records, the Wizards have a golden opportunity to build off an encouraging February where they went 7-5. Here's a closer look at some of the numbers from the Wizards' performance in February:
Record vs. teams below .500: 1-3
Record vs. teams .500 or better: 6-2
The Wizards had impressive wins over playoff teams in the New York Knicks, Los Angeles Clippers, Brooklyn Nets, Denver Nuggets, and Houston Rockets. But they also lost twice to the Detroit Pistons and once to the Toronto Raptors. Still, for a team who already has wins over the Miami Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder, going 6-2 against likely playoff teams is a good sign going forward.
Home record: 5-2
Road record: 2-3
Much has been made about the Wizards' struggles on the road, but they wrapped up the month nicely with a win in Canada over the Raptors. They also continued their stellar ways at home, improving their record at the Verizon Center in 2013 to 10-5, before Friday's loss to the Knicks.
Points per game: 94.9
Points allowed per game: 93.3
The Wizards have improved immensely on defense since John Wall's return and in February they gave up more than 100 points only twice, both in games the Wizards would go on to win. Offensively, the Wizards averaged 94.9 points per game in February, and went over the 100-point mark four times.
John Wall: 31.6 MPG/ 13.3 PPG / 8.2 APG/ 3.6 RPG/ 37% FG
Bradley Beal: 34.8 MPG/ 17.5 PPG/ 5.1 RPG /48% FG/ 42% 3FG
Emeka Okafor: 28.2 MPG/ 11.5 PPG/ 9.9 RPG/ 49% FG/ 41% FT
Nene: 32.0 MPG/ 13.1 PPG/ 7.5 RPG/ 3.8 APG/ 51% FG
Martell Webster: 31.8 MPG/ 12.4 PPG/ 3.6 RPG/ 51% FG/ 56% 3FG
Bradley Beal was the Wizards' best player in February, averaging 17.5 points and 5.1 rebounds a game and shooting an impressive 42% from three. Among rookies, Beal trailed only the Portland Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard in scoring, and was seventh in rebounds with 5.1 per game.
Martell Webster shot an incredible 56.4% (31-55) from three, leading the league in three-point percentage for players who attempted more than twenty threes.
Though John Wall only shot 37% from the field, his 8.2 assists per game was ninth in the league during February.
Emeka Okafor also had strong February, as he had the 11th most rebounds in the league with 119.
His shoulder injury put a damper on his month, but Nene played well in February, including a stretch of three consecutive double-doubles from February 6-Feburary 11.

Using grub (as you are) presupposes that grub is installed on the boot disk, and that the boot device is able to tell the system to boot from the usb device. It also implies that usb drivers have been loaded to allow this to happen at boot time, before the OS is loaded. If I understand your plans correctly, you want this usb drive to be able to boot standalone. If I am correct, you want the usb drive to be bootable with no other devices in play, and that means BIOS must be able to boot from the usb device. Grub has no factor in that scenario until after the device is accessed and the boot sector is read.

WINDSOR —Windsor residents living near the potential path of the Route 460 bypass north of town are now grappling with ongoing environmental and engineering work being done as VDOT continues to seek a permit from the U.S. Corps of Engineers.
And the cost for the work is $9 million — above and beyond the $250 million already spent on the decade-old project that has yet to receive necessary permits or have construction begin, according to VDOT.
Brenda Peters, who lives off Five Forks Road, recently walked around with an engineering contractor as he tried to find the best path to a marked area to take a soil boring.

Medford, Oregon doesn't make a lot of national news. It's a rare (and usually not happy) story that comes from the largest community in Southern Oregon into national awareness. Our little labor action made that leap yesterday, as the AP pickup from one of our local TV stations made it to the Washington Post. The angle that is catching national attention is that while we are the 8th largest district in modestly sized state, Portland is 10 days away from walking, as well. They are the single largest block of students and teachers in the state.
It's not a good scene. Tomorrow, after three days of closure to prepare for reopening with replacement workers, Medford students will be expected back in the classroom. Schools have consolidated into combined campuses (my site, North Medford High School will have half days in the morning, Hedrick Middle School will use our campus each afternoon). With this consolidation, the district is hoping to cover nearly 600 striking teachers with more like 225 subs, plus administrators teaching, plus a handful of line-crossers from the regular staff. As of yesterday's training session 112 people got off the sub busses.
As this looms, the District isn't at the negotiation table again until Wednesday. The School Board has canceled 4 of the past 5 scheduled meetings to avoid public interaction. For how we got here? Follow my below the Civil Disobedience Squiggly!
A timeline of the Medford situation side by side with the Portland situation was laid out earlier this month by Oregon Strike Insider (seriously worthwhile blog for those interested). The Association has a site: www.iteachmedford.org
The MEA communications team (yes, I am on it) put together a flyer this week to put in the hands of interested parents and community members. Part of that was this (now with new bolding for emphasis (mine)):
Teachers had two choices. A. Accept the lousy District implemented offer. Or B. Strike.So NOW we have busses of replacements coming to the individual school sites this morning (orientation and training). The Superintendent was on TV last night saying "We have all the substitutes we need to run all of our classes." But a copy of the class schedule for one of the local elementary schools shows a k-6 schedule covered by 8 subs. Including a 4/5 split level group, that is one teacher per grade in a school that usually has 22 certified personnel. My site is usually staffed with nearly 80 and has a schedule in place that is supposed to work with 30. For now, the front page of NMHS has a schedule that includes 4 40 minute classes. Building Administrators (thanklessly stuck in the middle, along with the classified staff) worked a 14 hour day on Sunday building schedules and assigning students to 'classes' -- the saving grace for the plan may be that the students at the high school level will likely stay home, as well.
Medford teachers chose B. Why? Because each day they have to look into the faces of students and know that they did all they could to ensure them a quality education.
What were the footsteps that took us out of our classrooms and onto the city sidewalks? It all began around the table last March in Interest Based Bargaining. The process worked for 72 days with agreement on nearly every issue…until the District realized that they had money to offer Medford teachers a fair settlement. They called a caucus and when they came back to the table, they announced they were going to traditional bargaining.
Then came the initial proposal. On July 2nd, the District passed a gutted contract proposal across the table. They hit 118 different parts of a highly functioning agreement. (Hey folks remember the saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it?") The contract wasn't broken…until the District's proposal broke it. We went from collaborative negotiations to contentious in one day.
Next came the end of the 150 day timeline. Right on cue, the District called for mediation. (Perfectly following the state minimum timelines). The District met the minimum requirement for mediation and then filed for impasse. As soon as the cooling off period ended, the District declared war by implementing a final offer. While the District has the right to take these steps, none are conducive to building trust and good relations with staff or fostering quality working conditions.
Regardless of the frustration with the District's behavior, the MEA tried several last ditch efforts to settle the contract. One of these was a one year settlement offer intended to keep schools open while negotiations continued.
The District rejected the one year settlement offer so quickly that the MEA team knew the Board's sole intention was to force a strike. Additionally in a District letter mailed to classified staff on February 4th before negotiations resumed, the District stated the teachers would be striking on Thursday. Stating something as a given before the teams even sat down at the mediation table says it all. The District had already decided it wanted and would force a strike, unless MEA capitulated to the District's every demand.
It's now up to our community to bring a settlement. We need parents and concerned community members to contact the Board and tell them to MOVE NEGOTIATIONS FORWARD. Quit wasting taxpayer money, stop eroding the quality of our schools, and settle a fair contract.
The district search for Subs led them to Eugene and Portland. The snow storm in northern Oregon brought about the following email offering airfare, rather than milage reimbursement:
We know that weather has become inclement in your area and it may be unsafe for you to travel to our district. For that reason, we are offering a $350 stipend, in lieu of the mileage reimbursement, for roundtrip airfare from your area to Medford. Our hope is that you will book travel to be able to attend the Orientation scheduled for 10:00 AM Sunday morning. When you arrive to the airport, please keep track of your taxi receipts as we will also reimburse you for that cost.Reports are coming in this morning of subs being flown in from Texas and New York, with return airfare for the upcoming 3 day weekend and then back to Oregon, should the strike continue beyond the weekend.
If no flights are available early Sunday, please book a flight for Saturday. We will take care of your hotel and cab fare if a shuttle is not available. We recommend booking a roundtrip, refundable ticket with return flight late Friday or Saturday. If the contract settles prior to your scheduled departure flight, Medford School district will pay your flight change fee.
Thank you so much for making yourself available to work in our district and for allowing us to create a safe travel situation for your arrival and departure.
What can you do? Get the story out. Have friends in Oregon? Get them Aware (it's Portland in a week, and Eugene in the months to come). If you are or know an educator who might be recruited? Encourage them to NOT accept a sub job in Oregon. Feel free to jump into the comment sections of the district facebook page (DON'T "like" them). Keep public comments CLEAN, on point, fact-based, and avoid (hard as it may be, set your 'snark' setting to OFF :))
Make our school board uncomfortable. Arm yourself with a couple good facts and then make some phone calls. Follow the NMHS link to get out to the District page. From there, call the Superintendent of Schools. The School Board members have additional public phone numbers (thanks to their election filing paper-work). I'll may post that info in comments.

Built by Hohner expressly to meet the unique needs of the harp player.
Though initially designed for use in classical music, the harmonica has been synonymous with American roots, blues, rock and country genres for almost a hundred years. Its distinct sound and versatility have made it a popular choice for many musicians looking to carve out a musical niche for themselves. One drawback of the harmonica was always its relative volume compared to other instruments. It was easy for such a small instrument to get drowned out, especially if it was being played with a full, electric band. However, with the invention of harmonica amplifiers and microphones, this is quickly no longer becoming an issue. Whether it's a basic amplifier or an entire set up to make your mouth harp stand out, there are a number of options that are worth exploring. If you're just looking for an amplifier, you'll want to check out the Hoodoo Box 5W Harmonica Tube Amp from Hohner. This amp is designed specifically for use with harmonicas and helps deliver that classic fat sound that has become the hallmark of the electric blues harp. Whether you're looking for dark, bright, or scooped tone, the Hoodoo will certainly rise to the challenge. If you're looking for more than just an amp, perhaps an entire package, then the Hoodoo Wireless Harmonica Mic and Amp with 5ft Cable set, also from Hohner, will definitely be worth investigating. This set includes the previously mentioned Hoodoo amplifier as well as a wireless mic that gives you serious freedom of motion on stage. The best part of this microphone is its compact design. While many blues harp players enjoy using a bullet mic with their harmonica, it can be large, bulky, and interrupt the natural cupping position your hands are in when playing. This mic conveniently slips onto your fingers like a ring, producing that classic low-fi sound harp players love, without having to be tethered to a large microphone. The great use of harmonica can add an incredible amount of character to a song. With the right harmonica amplifier you can make sure you'll have the volume to stand out with the band, without sacrificing the signature sound the mouth harp has become known for over the years.

Children's LiteratureSubtitled, "New Hope for Rare Medical Conditions," here is a welcome book on rare diseases that are not often written about. Most of these rare diseases have a genetic component, and thankfully, at last, are beginning to receive more research support. Author Wendy Murphy writes a compelling story about the struggle for congressional attention to these diseases and the development of the Orphan Drug Act and NORD—the National Organization for Rare Disorders. The book discusses but a few of the six thousand plus rare diseases that are recognized by the National Institutes of Health. These include Autism, Asperger Syndrome, Sickle Cell Anemia and other anemias (although this publisher has devoted an entire volume to Sickle Cell Disease in this series), Achondroplasia (dwarfism), Osteoegenesis Imperfecta (break bone disorder), Cystic Fibrosis, Tay Sachs Disease, Obsessive-Compulsive Disease and other mood disorders, and Immunodeficiency disorders. While the list covered is short considering the range of possibilities, the information presented briefly discusses what is known about the disease, particularly genetically, how each is currently treated and a bit about long-term prospects. The text, unfortunately, is quite dense with long paragraphs, and occasional black-and-white photos are of marginal interest. Readers, as always when using medical texts, should tap very current Internet sources to find the most up-to-date information, and a fine list of Web sites is included here. The Further Reading list is somewhat dated and adult-oriented. There is a useful Glossary, Index and Chapter Notes at the back. The book is part of the "Medical Library" series. 2002, Twenty-First Century Books,

While plan sponsors, financial advisors, and accountants should know about the potential pitfalls of plan sponsor liability or the need to have a plan design that fits the plan sponsor's needs, I am amazed that many attorneys show little interest in their client's retirement plans. It's not malpractice on their part if they have not been retained in conjunction with their plans, but it's a sign of neglect. Non-ERISA attorneys don't have to be ERISA experts, but I think they should be aware of what retirement plans that their clients have and if there are any potential problems with them. They should always ask their clients whether their plan has undergone a review of their practices and plan documents to ensure that there are not any lurking liability issues.

The traditional '78 Model comes with single conductor braided shield cable and a bottom plate with long mounting legs. Alnico 2 magnets yield pickups that have a smooth, warm, round tone with a soft attack. The guitar pickup is recommended for bridge position.

While one missed lesson or class will not be made up, if there is a second cancellation due to bad weather arrangements may be made to make up the lost time, depending on the course.
Unfortunately, we are unable to update this site every time there is weather that forces a pool closure. If you suspect this may be the case, please feel free to call the facility directly and check!

Georgetown Lifeguard Teams Win 1st and 2nd in State
Lifeguard teams from the City of Georgetown took the top two spots in the state lifeguard competition in College Station yesterday. The state lifeguard team competition was part of the 2014 Summer Games of Texas sponsored by the Texas Amateur Athletic Federation.
Team Dauntless from Georgetown took first place in the competition. Pictured in the photo (left to right) are Curtis Morgan with TAAF and members of Team Dauntless including Trevor Carey, Cameron Speegle, Hunter Boyd, and Baylee Hill with Stephanie Darimont, aquatic coordinator for Georgetown Parks and Recreation. Team Dauntless qualified for the state finals after placing first at the Texas Superguard regional competition in July.
Placing in second at the state competition was Team ReGuardless from Georgetown. Pictured in the photo (left to right) are Curtis Morgan and members the ReGuardless team Saige Culbertson, Mason Sheppard, Sydney Sorensen, and Kate Krause with Stephanie Darimont.
The two top teams from Georgetown were among 12 teams statewide that qualified for the state finals competition. The top three teams from four regional competitions this summer qualified to compete in the state finals. Each team in the state finals yesterday competed in four events. In the events, teams demonstrated proficiency in first aid, CPR, and other rescue skills.
A third team from Georgetown that qualified for the state competition and participated in the finals was Team Four Bravery, including Bailey Vandegrift, Emily Sargeant, Jack McLean, and Trevor Springer.
The three Georgetown lifeguard teams were composed of lifeguards who work for the City of Georgetown in the Parks and Recreation Department at the City's outdoor and indoor pools.
Brett Gindler, Kate Krause, Kyle Miller, Chris Prater, Shelby Prater, Madison Smith, Grace Thomas and Graham Thompson competed at the 2012 Central Texas Lifeguard Competition. Graham Thompson and Shelby Prater received the Aquaman and Aquawoman award for rescuing an active victim the fastest in the individual competition. Other awards our team received were: 1st place in Obstacle Course, 3rd Place in Team Scenario, and 3rd Place in Spinal Scenario.
The Central Texas Lifeguard Competition was one of four regional competitions in Texas, with over 120 teams competing statewide. The top three teams from each region advanced to the state lifeguard competition at the Texas Amateur Athletics Federation 2012 Summer Games of Texas. Georgetown's scores qualified our lifeguards for this competition for the first time.
Grace Thomas, Shelby Prater, Kyle Miller and Graham Thompson participated in the state lifeguard competition at the TAAF Games of Texas in Corpus Christi on Monday July 30, 2012. This Olympic-style event showcases many sports, and athletes from all over Texas participate. In Lifeguarding, the teams competed in events such as Spinal Scenarios, CPR/First Aid, and Passive Rescues. The City of Georgetown team placed 4th overall in the state! CONGRATULATIONS!
The City of Georgetown took two teams of City Lifeguards to compete at the Central Texas Lifeguard Competition held in New Braunfels on July 18, 2011.
Team Pink and Yellow from Georgetown was comprised of Ian Reeves, Jansen Brown, Autumn Allen and Alie Hermann; Chris Prater, Taylor Steele, Shelby Prater and Grace Thomas made up the second team from Georgetown, Team Rescuers in Disguise.
There were five team events, including first aid, team scenario, rescue relay, spinal scenario and obstacle course. Team Pink and Yellow won first place in the obstacle course. Team Rescuers in Disguise won the overall Spirit Award that was voted on by the judges and volunteers.
All 19 teams were asked to choose their best male and female lifeguard to participate in the Aquawoman and Aquaman contest where they sprint down the 300 yard spring fed pool and then sprint back and look for a mannequin that has been submerged on the bottom. Chris Prater won the Aquaman contest and Shelby Prater (both team mate and sister) won the Aquawoman individual competition (pictured above).
Congratulations to the City of Georgetown Lifeguards!

Genuine Leather is beautiful and sturdier than bonded leather. The color is gorgeous. Now for the real stuff: I have researched several reviews and there doesn't seem to be as much controversy on this version as the NIV. Scholars used the Nestle-Aland's Novum Testamentum Graece and the Greek New Testament for the NT and mainly Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia for the OT. (Of course, many more resources were also used.) The HCSB makes note in footnotes of text not original in some of the Hebraic/Aramaic text and explain the importance for interpretation. You will find God's names: Yahweh, Hosanna, Messiah, Abba and others not found in some modern translations. I believe there was much more thought put into this version/interpretation in order to keep the Message alive. Overall, I like the read. I have ADD and this version "flows" for me without being distracted by sentence formation.

Mo. man freed in editor's death sues for $100M
ST. LOUIS — A man recently released from prison when a Missouri court overturned his conviction in a sports editor's death is seeking $100 million in damages in a federal civil rights lawsuit against seven police detectives, a prosecutor turned judge and a former police chief.
The 50-page suit says Columbia, Mo., police fabricated evidence against Ryan Ferguson, bullied witnesses and ignored other leads in their investigation into the 2001 killing of Kent Heitholt, a Columbia Daily Tribune sports editor. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri, asks for actual damages of $75 million and compensatory damages of $25 million. It names the city of Columbia, its police department, Boone County and two investigators for the county prosecutor's office.
Ferguson spent nearly a decade in prison but was released in November 2013 when an appeals court panel ruled that prosecutors wrongly withheld evidence from the defense. Missouri's attorney general opted not to retry Ferguson, who has since moved to Florida to avoid the glare of attention in his hometown.
His case gained national attention because his high school classmate, Chuck Erickson, claimed to have recalled through dreams years after the fact that he and Ferguson had killed Heitholt during a late-night robbery after a Halloween of partying. Erickson has since recanted his testimony but is in prison. Ferguson says his former high school classmate is innocent.
In his release, Ferguson received a veritable hero's welcome in Columbia during a celebratory news conference, with his new girlfriend by his side. But the lawsuit suggests Ferguson has faced a difficult adjustment.
"Ryan's new identity upon walking out of prison is that of a 29-year-old uneducated, jobless man without health care or funds for psychological counseling," the suit said. "For years, he was branded as a brutal murderer, and those scars cannot be excised."

Greeneville rallies to win Class A/AA state wrestling title
FRANKLIN — Greeneville roared back from a 24-point deficit Saturday night to capture its firstClass A/AA state duels wrestling championship with a 36-34 victory against Pigeon Forge.
Jon Boatman's pin at 113 pounds completed the comeback, which included a 27-0 run with two forfeits.
"Come in unseeded. Nobody expected this," said Marshall Brown, who wrestled at 182 pounds.
It was the third consecutive tough loss in the finals for the Tigers (21-8), who got crucial wins from Caleb Poole (120) and freshman 106-pounder Matthew Kieta, whose major decision victory put Pigeon Forge up 34-30 with one match to go.
"We may have been the only 22 people in the state that believed we could do this," said Greenville coach Randy Shelton, whose team finishes 22-8.
"This year has been kind of a roller coaster," Pigeon Forge coach Greg Foreman said. "There was going to be a forfeit at 220 regardless, so what we had to do was try to maximize our points. Yesterday (Friday), we had our 160-pounder (Isaac Frye) break his collarbone."
In Class AAA, Heritage battled back from incredible adversity to finish fourth, the best in school history.
Despite injuries to starters Skyler Boring (145, leg), Keagan Matlock (170, knee), and Mat Spradlin (113, hand), the Mountaineers took Soddy-Daisy to the limit before dropping a 35-32 decision in the third-place match.
Matlock's injury in the 170-pound match was an emotional blow to Heritage in a 46-36 loss to Cleveland, the Mountaineers' first defeat in the tournament.
But Heritage rallied for a 39-30 win over Blackman to advance to the third-place match.
"We came together and we won it for Kegan," Boring said.
"No matter what happens, we pick each other up," coach Jerry Teaster said.
Asked how emotional the weekend had been, Boring said, "you have no idea."
Bearden made its first appearance ever in the tournament.
"Getting to duals is huge," coach Donnie Floyd said. "The kids have made such huge improvements."
Tristan Majors (220), Joey Huml (138), and Jacob Gerken (160) are few of the standouts for the Bulldogs, who were eliminated 58-20 by Beech.
Maryville's 47-23 loss to Blackman knocked out the Rebels. Chad Solomon (170), Nathan Wilson (152), and Gene Lewis (145) won their matches.
"A couple matches very easily could have gone the other way," coach Mark Humphrey said.
Dakota McAdoo (138) and Alexander Norris (285) picked up pins for A/AA Stone Memorial in a 43-30 loss to Hixson that eliminated the Panthers.
"We start every season with Hixson, and the last three years we've ended our year with them," coach Brian Parker said.
Landon Barlow (170) and Anthony Giattino (152) are among the candidates for the state individual tournament.
Halls was eliminated 41-27 by Blackman.
"Colton Sutterer came back and had a big match for us at 170," coach Shannon Sayne said.
Tanner Justice (106) and Brandon Williams (182) may battle for individual honors.
In the Division II tournament, Webb rallied from a sluggish start to win the third-place match.
"I wish we would have showed up a little better," Spartans coach Ryan Welch said after a 54-19 opening loss to Franklin Road Academy.
Lewis Jones had a 15-3 major-decision win, and David Matthews collected a victory and both Nathan Farr and Andrew Conley posted pins in the Spartans' opener, which was followed by a 43-36 victory over St. George's that gave the Spartans third place.
Matthews also picked up a pin against the Gryphons, as Webb's strong class of five seniors wrestled their final dual meet.

The Liberty Hotel
215 Charles Street, Boston, MA, USA
Neighborhood: Beacon Hill
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
For a luxury hotel it's an awfully imposing structure — they're not typically rough-hewn granite monuments. But this is is no ordinary luxury hotel. The Liberty is imposing and monumental because, in a previous life, it was a jail — the 1851-vintage Charles Street Jail, with a riverside Beacon Hill location that was presumably lost on the original inmates.
If you stop to consider all the implications it's a strange comment on the state of modern hospitality that a jail can be so successfully converted into a luxury hotel. But it's not a puzzle you'll feel like dwelling on once you're comfortably ensconced in one of the Liberty's rooms. To be fair, most of them are in the modern addition behind the old jail — but even the 18 converted cells in the historic building are swanky, with flat panel HD-LCD televisions and Molton Brown bath products. At this point the old cell windows have been expanded, floor-to-ceiling, and the exposed brickwork just adds to the atmosphere.
One restaurant is called Clink, and one of the bars (set in the old drunk tank) Alibi; they're joined by a rustic Italian restaurant and a Veuve Clicquot champagne bar. And there's plenty to do beyond the Liberty's walls: Beacon Hill is one of Boston's hottest neighborhoods, and a luxury hotel fits the location perfectly.

If your car is less than 10 years old, there might be a little computer buried somewhere inside that records events. If you're in a crash, the police, the insurance adjustor, or maybe even the National Transportation Safety Board will retrieve that computer, download its data and use it to figure out exactly what happened.

Don't leave home without it-not if you want simple, guaranteed access to a business jet at a reasonable hourly rate. That's the pitch that has driven the rapid growth of jet card programs. Almost a dozen national companies, including the major fractional and charter fleet providers, now offer these cards. Numerous smaller charter companies also provide jet cards.

At a dinner party recently, the subject turned to private jets and someone asked, "If you could have any jet, which would you pick?" Someone else blurted out, "an F-16," and everyone laughed. If you think about it, an F-16 might well give you a decided advantage over business rivals, but it would likely also raise a few concerns.

\"The winger will not be sold in the January transfer window,\" the Red Devils boss said.
London: Manchester United winger Nani will not be sold in the January transfer window, manager Alex Ferguson said on Sunday in dismissing media reports that the Portuguese international could leave Old Trafford.
Nani, sidelined by injury since the Champions League tie with Braga on November 7, has yet to sign a new deal after talks stalled in the close season.
"Obviously his people have been negotiating with
"He's injured. His contract's not up for a year and a half."
Ferguson said he still regarded 26-year-old Nani, who joined United from Portugal's Sporting in 2007, as an important part of his squad.
"We need a Nani. He offers something different from the other players. He's an incredible talent, the boy's a great talent. Unfortunately, he's injured at the moment so we sent him over to Dubai for a break and hoping a bit of warmth will help him in his recovery.
"He's not far away but he's far enough away. I don't think I'll get him back until probably the middle of January. It's a hamstring injury he's got.
"A player like Nani has never had a hamstring injury ever - I don't think he's ever had many injuries with us. But he's got it right in the top and it's a bad one."

When this blog first started over three years ago, only three of the sisters were really contributing to the blog. The other three were in college or high school and really didn't understand blogging, let alone even care about it. We finally got them on board and they now contribute recipes and crafts at least once a week, but cooking and crafting isn't their true passion (gasp! Say it ain't so!!).
A couple of months ago we were brainstorming on how to tie in their passions of fashion and style on a budget – and Six Sisters' Style was born. We have been busy designing some fun clothing items (for real women's sizes and styles) that will shortly be for sale (we are so excited!) and a couple of times a week, we will be sharing some of our best beauty and fashion secrets and tips on the style blog.
While our main passion is still everything that goes on here (for me, it's always about the food!), but we are so excited about this new venture and hope you will join us!
You can follow Six Sisters' Style on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest.
Now onto the recipe . . . because I know that's the reason you are here.
This recipe couldn't be more simple. If you are feeling adventurous, you could make your own Kung Pao sauce, but the Panda Express bottle that I used was delicious. It did have a little kick, but my kids still ate it!
Slow Cooker Kung Pao Chicken
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (frozen or thawed- whatever you have on hand)
1 (18.75 oz) bottle Panda Express Kung Pao sauce
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 bunch green onions, diced
1 (8 oz) can water chestnuts (optional)
1/4 cup peanuts (optional)
Spray crock pot with non-stick cooking spray and place chicken inside. Pour bottle of Kung Pao sauce on top and cook on low for 5-6 hours or high 3-4 hours. For the last 30 minutes of cooking*, turn the slow cooker to high (if it isn't on high already) and add diced bell peppers, water chestnuts, and peanuts.
After finished cooking, remove chicken breasts and cut into bite-sized pieces. Return chicken to slow cooker and stir until chicken is completely covered in sauce.
Serve over white or brown rice.
*You can add the peppers in at the beginning and let them cook all day, but they tend to be pretty soggy. I prefer the peppers to be tender but still have a little crunch to them, which is why I add them at the end.
Makes about 4-5 servings.

"That ain't cheap," Sgt. Kern Swoboda, a state police spokesman, told the Associated Press. He added that updated laser technology now allows a trooper on the ground to get speed readings over long distances and in heavy traffic—two situations where aircraft used to be superior.

Since the reason for tickets is to slow down traffic and not revenue enhancement...oh well, they can make millions more with yellow light and speed cameras...wait, those don't slow down traffic, that revenue enhancement stuff again.

RyanFollowForum Posts: 2278Wiki Points: 2827Followed by: 146275Reviews: 1 Lists: 1 Posted by Ryan- 6 years agoJeff and I ventured into San Frantastic earlier today for Nintendo's spring media summit, where they showed off a number of upcoming first- and third-party games for the Wii and DS. We can't talk about most of the stuff we've seen so far, though you can expect a deluge of hands-on stories and a bombcast chock-fulla Nintendo talk this coming Tuesday. One of the things we can discuss right now is Mario Super Sluggers for the Wii, which we got to see in action for the first time today.The gameplay definitely appears to take a lot of its cues from the baseball minigame in Wii Sports, using the same sort of motions for batting and pitching. It will expand on those concepts as well, letting you perform special pitches by holding both the A and B buttons while you throw, though it's safe to assume there will be plenty of other ridiculous twists on the action as well. There will also be a little fielding in the game, though it seems to involve little more than waggling the remote.Still, Nintendo's Bill Trinnen was very clear that this is not intended to go up against serious baseball sims, something that was made more apparent by the game's Nintendo-mascot-heavy line-up. We got to see the Mario Fireballs go up against the Peach Royals, with characters like Wario, Donkey Kong, a Hammer Bro, and Baby Mario stepping up to the plate. Probably my favorite touch was the fact that DK didn't bother with a bat, opting instead to just strap a big red boxing glove to one of his hands. It also seems worth noting that Namco Bandai was listed at the bottom of the press release for Mario Super Sluggers, which could mean that either we'll finally get the Soul Calibur/Nintendo crossover we've all be waiting for, or that Namco Bandai has some hand in the game's development.Maybe it's just because there's so much damn baseball on TV right now, but Mario Super Sluggers looked pretty good to me, though it also looks like it won't offer too many surprises for those already familiar with past Mario-themed sports games. Mario Super Sluggers is set for release later this year. Staff
