Paul A. Bouffard
Paul A. Bouffard, 81, died on Friday, June 17, 2011, following a long and difficult, yet courageous, battle with Parkinson's Disease.
He was born October 10, 1929, in Newport to the late Aristide and Antoinette (Vigneault) Bouffard.
He attended Sacred Heart High School and then joined the U.S. Navy where he served on the aircraft carrier the
USS Leyte
. After his discharge from the Navy, he was in the Naval Reserves for six years while also working as a meat manager for the A&P grocery company. In 1951, he and his brother Edmund Bouffard opened Bouffard Brothers Market in Newport.
On June 10, 1961, he was united in marriage to Denise Gaudreau at St. Edward's Church in Derby Line. This past June 10, they celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary.
In 1962, Mr. Bouffard and his wife bought the Newport City Motel, which they owned and operated until 1982. He also owned and operated the Long Branch Restaurant and several other businesses in the Newport area, including a car wash, and a small construction business. He also had apartment houses. In addition, he was the former mayor of Newport City in 1968 and also served as an alderman for several years.
Mr. Bouffard was a communicant of St. Mary's Star of the Sea Catholic Church and past member of the parish council and the advisory board at Sacred Heart schools. In addition, he was a 60-year member of the Knights of Columbus, past exalted ruler of the Elks Lodge of Newport, as well as chairman of the building committee for North Country Hospital and the sisters' residence at Sacred Heart. He was also a lifetime member of the Civil Air Patrol.
Mr. Bouffard had a passion for life and living it to the fullest. The first love of his life was his family. He loved spending time with his wife and children, his siblings and in-laws. He loved family gatherings filled with outdoor activities, story-telling, music, good food and spirits, and much laughter and fun. His second passion was fishing on his boat on Lake Memphremagog. He spent countless hours trolling for lake trout and salmon, often bringing his fishing buddy, "Pumpkin," also known as his daughter Julie.
He loved the outdoors — driving construction equipment, snow-blowing the yard, working in the woods, boating, hunting with his brothers and sons, golfing, or simply washing the cars. He enjoyed flying and going to air shows. He got his pilot's license at age 16 and loved to fly his plane.
Mr. Bouffard loved music. He loved to play his drum set, as well as "boogie woogie" on the piano. He loved big band music and was involved with booking famous musicians such as Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, and Glenn Miller at the Elks Club in Newport.
Mr. Bouffard is survived by his wife, Denise; his daughter, Jane Bouffard of Stowe and Gary Lambert of Burlington; his daughter Monica Libby and her husband, Scott, of Newport; his son Peter Bouffard and his wife, Deborah, of Lincoln, Nebraska; his son Thomas Bouffard and Michael Willis of Pittsburg, California; and his daughter Julie Vesely and her husband, Keith, of Upper Marlboro, Maryland; by five grandchildren: Amanda Libby, Sara (Libby) Noyes and her husband, Craig, Michaela Libby, Laura Libby, and Anna Libby of Newport; several nieces, nephews and cousins; and several in-laws, including Rita Bouffard, Pauline Bouffard, Pierrette Paradis and her daughter Suzanne Paradis and son Mark Paradis, Gaby Carr and her husband, Jim, Andre Gaudreau, Lucille Gaudreau, and Suzanne Gaudreau. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his five brothers: George, Eugene, Francis, Edmund, and Gerard; and his five sisters: Sister Helen of St. Joseph, Sister Aimee, Sister Louise, Sister Rose Angeline, and Bernadette Butler.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m., on Friday, June 24, at St. Mary's Star of the Sea Catholic Church in Newport. Calling hours for relatives and friends will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Curtis-Britch-Converse-Rushford Funeral Home at 4670 Darling Hill Road in Newport on Thursday, June 23.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St Mary's Star of the Sea Catholic Church, 191 Clermont Terrace, Newport, Vermont 05855, or online at

In addition, a special thank-you to Father Michael Reardon for his visits and prayers. Thanks also to the staff from Curtis-Britch-Converse-Rushford Funeral Home in Newport for their support.
Online condolences may be sent to the family through the funeral home website at www.curtis-britch-converse-rushford.com.
Alan Slater Flint
Alan Slater Flint, 89, longtime resident of Newport, died peacefully on June 18, 2011, surrounded by his loving family after a long and courageous battle with Parkinson's disease.
Born March 4, 1922, in Randolph to the late Harold and Ann (MacDougal), he was the eldest of four children. He spent his youth in Randolph graduating from Randolph High School in 1940.
Upon graduation, he entered the U.S. Air Force in 1940 and served as master sergeant in World War II stationed all over U.S. as well as Ascension Island in the South Atlantic Ocean and Brazil, South America. Honorably discharged in 1945, Mr. Flint continued to serve in the Air Force Reserves while pursuing a variety of interests and vocations.
His fascination with photography led to employment at the Purdie's Photography Studio in Boston in 1946 and 1947.
On June 15, 1946 he married the former Joyce Washburn of Orford, New Hampshire. This year they celebrated their sixty-fifth wedding anniversary.
He transitioned vocations, fine-tuning his craftsmanship, working at the Furniture Mill, then Lamsons Furniture Store until 1953.
His career took a new direction when he became a U.S. Customs agent in 1953 stationed in Canaan, Beecher Falls, and Norton. He was transferred to Montreal in 1960 through 1967, working at Dorval Airport. He later returned to the states, settling in Newport and working on the Canadian border at Derby Line and Beebe until 1975. He was transferred to Toronto for pre-clearance and served as a firearms instructor until his retirement in 1982.
Little known facts: Mr. Flint revealed his potential for architecture when he purchased the old Customs house in Canaan and physically moved it down the street, remodeling it into the family residence. It still stands today as a symbol of his ingenuity and uniqueness.
He was a vital participant in all of the communities he lived in. His civic affiliations included firefighter's and sheriff's departments in Randolph; serving on the Newport Zoning Board, working at the Newport Welcome Center, and as president of the Lakemont Association. He held fraternal memberships in both the Freemasons and Promise Keepers.
An excellent skier and skater, Mr. Flint ran the Randolph Skating Rink and served on the Jay Peak Ski Patrol for many seasons.
His passion for flying translated into a successful business venture when he founded Kingdom Air Photo, taking aerial photographs of many properties in the Northeast Kingdom. Holding a pilot's license helped him enjoy an ardor for soaring through the skies in his favorite mode of travel, the Stearman Biplane; subsequently his liaison with the Newport Airport was extensive. The only drawback was the necessity to land, as flying was the epitome of freedom.
After retirement, he and his wife spent many winters in Florida, residing in Branford, Venice, Englewood, and Zephyrhills.
Mr. Flint embodied the full meaning of a Renaissance man. Limitless in his capacity for development and knowledge, he embraced life, learning, and knew the true meaning of joy.
His first love was his wife and family. A devoted husband, proud father and grandfather and loyal friend, he was an exceptional role model and thoughtful man. Family reunions and holiday gatherings always brought out his fun-loving spontaneity and exceptional humor. His quick wit was his trademark. But it was his wisdom and insight that underscored his authenticity.
His penchant for creating spanned a vast array of disciplines. An avid fisherman, he was an expert at carpentry, knowledgeable as an electrician, plumber, tailor, enjoyed being a hobbyist, collector, car enthusiast, mentor, and theatrical performer. He loved music of all genres, and dancing, and was an active member of the North Country Swingers Square Dancing for years in both the U.S. and Canada.
He constructed a plethora of sets, props, and costumes for QNEK Productions and became part of the acting company with his debut in
Dearly Departed
. But it was his cameo appearance in
Forever Plaid
and the memorable featured role as Mr. Rose in
Hello, Dolly
that gleaned him accolades on stage.
Mr. Flint is survived by his loving wife, Joyce Flint; son Douglas Alan Flint and his wife, Lynn Leimer Flint, and daughter, Debra Jean (Flint) Gosselin and her husband, Richard Gosselin, all of Newport; by grandchildren, Philip Gosselin of New York City, Heather Barnes-Flint of Burlington, and Elisabeth Barnes-Flint of Winooski; by step-grandchildren Kristin Camp of Burlington and First Petty Officer Charles Camp and his wife, Trishaa Camp, of Hanford, California; by several nieces, nephews, and stepgreat-grandchildren; and by sisters Marjorie Johnson of Englewood, Florida, and Lake Champlain and Betty and Sherman Salter of Randolph, by his brother, Dean Flint and his wife, Betsy, of Provo, Utah, by in-laws Horton and Jerry Washburn of Orford, New Hampshire, and by Laura and Herb Verry of Orford. He was predeceased by sister-in-laws Jeanne (Washburn) Chase and Lucille (Washburn) Brookes.
Mr. Flint's legacy will continue because he lived with an overwhelming generosity of spirit, was sharing and compassionate, and deliberate and succinct in thought, word and deed. In the immortal words of Ralph Waldo Emerson: "A life well lived will exhibit the following: To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."
Alan Flint succeeded. He embodied a successful life well lived, well loved, and will be well remembered and dearly missed. An ordinary man who fashioned an extraordinary life, he can finally experience the freedom to fly forever on angel wings.
The family of Alan Flint would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to the staff of Bel-Aire Nursing Home for their superb care and concern. Thank you to the staff of Curtis-Britch-Converse-Rushford for the expertise and support.
There will be a celebration of his life at the United Church of Newport, Third Street, on June 22 at 11 a.m. officiated by the Reverend Steven Jungkeit. A reception will follow in the Fellowship Hall. There will be no calling hours. Interment will be in Randolph at the Veterans' Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Haskell Opera House, P.O. Box 337, Derby Line, Vermont 05830, or to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, Church Street Station, P.O. Box 780, New York, New York 10008-0780.

Mary Louise Marsh
Just shy of her ninety-first birthday, Mary Louise Marsh of West Ferrisburgh died on June 13, 2011, in the ARCH Hospice Room at Helen Porter in Middlebury, surrounded by her family.
She was born on Shuteville Mountain in Albany, on June 17, 1920, one of ten children born to Lewis and Elvia (Shatney ) Mason. She was educated at the Brown School in Albany. On November 2, 1936, she married Dale B. Marsh.
Because of Mr. Marsh's construction jobs, they lived all over the state before moving to the DAR State Park in Addison where Mrs. Marsh became the first park caretaker. They settled at Button Bay State Park when Mr. Marsh became maintenance supervisor for the Department of Forests and Parks and continued to live at Button Bay for the rest of her life. Before retiring, Mr. and Mrs. Marsh served as the first park rangers for Kingsland Bay State Park in Ferrisburgh.
One of Mrs. Marsh's favorite memories was serving as hostess for the 1962 Girl Scout Round-Up at Button Bay, where she welcomed girls from all over the world in her backyard. She was known for her twinkling blue eyes, radiant smile, kind and gentle way, and her soothing voice that would make any bad situation better. She was a wonderful cook and made the best apple pies and fried bread dough around.
Mrs. Marsh was the epitome of a mother, the "best grammy in the world," the matriarch of five generations and a loyal friend. She loved children and children loved her. She loved to rock babies, sing, and tell bedtime stories. She loved having company, and no one ever left her home hungry. She enjoyed camping, deer hunting, and fishing with her husband, driving around in her white convertible, drinking tea with her friends, sharing a box of chocolates, having Kahlua and milk on special occasions, going out to eat and attending VUHS basketball games. She was as generous as she was kind, always making sure her family and friends came first.
Through the years she was a member of the Vergennes United Methodist Church, UMW, Christian Women's Club, home dem, and garden club.
Mrs. Marsh is survived by her son, Stewart Marsh and his friend, Patty Fuller, of Vergennes; daughter Elaine Horner and her friend, David Poutry, of Albany; daughter Joan Marsh-Reed and her husband, Walter, of Button Bay; and daughter-in-law Claudia Marsh of Vergennes. She also leaves grandchildren Joanne Chase and her husband, Rudy, Lauren Michaud and her husband, Carl, Paige Horner, Jessica Kimball, Jason Marsh and friend, Jamie Rainville, Coty Dayton Marsh, Jade Reed and his wife, Kayla; great-grandchildren: Karen, Valerie, Nick, Troy, Ben, Desmah, Ayla, Devon, Casey, Jordan and Tyler; great-great granddaughters Olivia and Averie; many nieces, nephews and friends; and her cat, Bob. She was predeceased by her husband, Dale, in 1991; two daughters, Audrey and Madge; son-in-law Marcel Horner; and siblings Leonard, Mitchell, Chelsia, Roger, Abner, Desmah, Hilda, Sidney, and Jesse.
A celebration of life was held on June 16 at the Vergennes United Methodist Church with the Reverend Gary Lewis officiating. Burial was at the Albany Village Cemetery in Albany.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Mrs. Marsh's name may be made to the ARCH Room, Ltd., P.O. Box 953. Middlebury, Vermont 05753.
Mrs. Marsh would want everyone to remember to say "thank you," as she did right up until the end, and to be kind to others, as she has always been. No one is perfect but she was as close as one could get.
Arrangements by the Sanderson-Ducharme Funeral Home.
Tessie E. Smith
Tessie E. Smith, 81, of North Troy died at her home on Friday, June 17, 2011, after a long illness.
She was born in Troy on September 17, 1929, a daughter of Albert and Belle (Peters) Lahue.
As a young woman, she worked at the mill in North Troy and married Walter Smith on September 3, 1954.
She was a 40-year member of the American Legion Auxillary Unit Jay Peak Post # 28. For many years she and her husband enjoyed camping. Also, she loved to play bingo, knit and play the game Aggravation with family members and did not like to lose. So the game's name matched her mood on those occasions — "very aggravated." She especially loved her family coming to visit and family get-togethers.
She is survived by her daughter Mary Cota and her husband, Arnold, and their children: Susan Galofaro and her husband, Richard, of California, Dean Cota and his wife, Cindy, and their son Aden of Milton as well as Cindy's children Sabrina, Tyler, Andrea, and Mariah Rocque, and Karen Cota and her fiancé, Doug Sheahan, of California; also by her daughter Kathy Mayhew and her husband, Marcel, of Jay and their daughter Angela Mead and her husband, James, and their children Sierra and Tyler Mead all of Newport Center, Melinda Smith and her son Mathieu of Jay; and by nieces and nephews.

Alan David Sophrin
Alan David Sophrin, 90, died on May 12, 2011, at the Central Vermont Medical Center. His daughter Gail was with him.
Born on July 28, 1920, in Akron, Ohio, Mr. Sophrin grew up in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. His father, Michael, was Jewish. His mother, Mary, was Irish Catholic.
Mr. Sophrin attended college at Case Western Reserve and at Kent State. A law student at Ohio State in December 1941, "Stringbean" Sophrin joined the Army Air Force, gaining just enough weight to pass the enlistment physical on his second try. In a Stearman open cockpit biplane, he learned to fly.
On November 15, 1943, he married Virginia Margaret Looker at the Alliance Army Airfield in Nebraska. On June 6, 1944 his troop carrier squadron crossed the English Channel in the first minutes of D-Day, dropping paratroops into Normandy. Later Mr. Sophrin carried paratroops and towed gliders into the south of France, into Holland, to Bastogne, and on March 24, 1945, into Germany.
After the war, Mr. Sophrin practiced law in Cuyahoga Falls. On the Republican ticket, he was elected city solicitor. He held three elective offices. He preferred political philosophy to politics, though, and writing to practicing law. He favored the constitutional separation of church and state. He opposed Joseph McCarthy. Ultimately, he took up the defense of Dr. Hyman Lumer, a labor activist accused of violating the Taft-Hartley Act. He lost the high-profile case.
In 1960 Mr. Sophrin left the law and moved his family to Vermont. In Burlington he worked as a vocational rehabilitation counselor. He wrote two books for young people:
Quiet Rebel
(John Day, 1967), and
The Newcomer
(John Day, 1968). He wrote on smaller scales, too. When a reviewer in Burlington complained that the Champlain Shakespeare Festival's
Richard III
was so long it had "made me seat-weary," ticket sales dwindled. He wrote a letter to the editor. He praised the fine production. He regretted that it had "made the reviewer seat weary." Ticket sales resumed.
In 1968 Mr. and Mrs. Sophrin moved to Brandon. They worked for many years at the training school. Mr. Sophrin continued to write, and to do things his way. When an administrator forbade school residents to visit Texas Falls without a lifeguard, Mr. Sophrin renewed his Red Cross lifeguard certification. He was 53. At the Community College of Vermont's Middlebury campus, he moonlighted as instructor in effective speaking. His texts — audio recordings where possible — included Lincoln's address at Gettysburg and Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream." His students adored him.
Mrs. Sophrin died in 1985. During the last months of her life, Mr. Sophrin cared for her at home. In 1986 he bought ten acres of wilderness in Ames Park on Seymour Lake in Morgan. Living at first in a tent with his dog, Helga, he built an unprepossessing cottage commanding one of the finest views on the lake. Knowing only the rudiments of house building, he read books on the subject as he worked. He became a part of the community of neighbors on Ames Road and in Winape Hills on Echo Lake in Charleston. He met Constance Colligan, a local artist. On November 25, 1989, Mr. Sophrin and Ms. Colligan married.
Mr. Sophrin resumed writing his newspaper column, "From This Angle." With titles like "Takeover" (Mr. Sophrin's plan to buy General Motors on credit); "Newt Speaks Frankly" (" . . . a political leader who has the courage to come right out and say he speaks frankly") and "Terrorism Readiness Advice" ("Blue Alert: Drink one double martini . . ."), the column's pointed satire won both fans and detractors. When the column was discontinued, a reader recounted to Mr. Sophrin her conversation with the editor of the
Bennington Banner
: "I told her that as far as I was concerned your range was from brilliant to very brilliant, and I did not think I would renew my subscription." Mr. Sophrin composed his columns in pencil on a yellow legal pad. In defense of the pencil and in defense of thinking, he contributed an essay to
Minutes of the Lead Pencil Club
(Pushcart Press, 1996). Fellow essayists included Russell Baker and Henry Thoreau.
Mr. Sophrin served as a director of the Seymour Lake Association. He worked on the newsletter. He chaired the personal watercraft committee, fighting to limit the use of jet skis. Well into his eighties, he loved to swim. To maintain his once flawless front crawl, he swam at Stanstead College in the winter. For his eighty-fifth birthday, he wanted a kayak.
Selectively quoting Lord Byron, Mr. Sophrin wrote in his high school yearbook, "Let us have mirth and laughter." The excellent staff at Rowan Court in Barre, where he moved in October 2008, will attest that Mr. Sophrin never relinquished his sense of humor. Nor his habit of reading. Nor his sense of fairness: By agreement with his friend Richard, a medic in the Pacific in WWII and a fellow resident at Rowan Court, Mr. Sophrin took credit only for winning the war in Europe. In the Pacific, Richard won.
In Charleston Mr. Sophrin leaves his wife, Constance, and her son, Steve. In New York he leaves Constance's daughters Christine and Margaret, and her son Robert. He leaves his daughters Gail, of Barre, and Helene, of Ithaca, New York, and Helene's stepdaughter Susanna Porte, of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
A gathering to celebrate Mr. Sophrin's life will be held at Seymour Lake in July.
Contributions in his memory may be made to the Southern Poverty Law Center, online or at 400 Washington Ave., Montgomery, Alabama 36104.

Mrs. Stoughton's parents were Hazel Cinderella and Preston Carlos Skinner of Orleans. She graduated from Orleans High School and from Lasell College in Auburndale, Massachusetts. Following her marriage to Frank Latham Stoughton in 1941, her family moved to Lynn, Massachusetts, in 1947 where she served as homemaker for her husband, their six children and Mr. Stoughton's father, Harrison David Stoughton. She was also active in Bethany Congressional Church.
In 1969, Mr. and Mrs. Stoughton moved to Newport Beach, California, and subsequently Costa Mesa where she was an active member of the women's Club. Following her husband's death in 1987, Mrs. Stoughton moved to Laguna Beach and later Laguna Niguel, California. While residing in Laguna Beach, she became an accomplished shuffleboard player and served as president of the Laguna Beach Shuffleboard Club. In 2004, she moved to Ipswich.
Mrs. Stoughton worked many jobs including bank teller, grocery store clerk, and assistant manager of a clothing boutique. All of her life she was a sports enthusiast. In her early years she was an avid tennis player, skier and golfer. She loved baseball and was an ardent fan of the California Angels and the Boston Red Sox.
The family has planned a private memorial service. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Mrs. Stoughton's memory may be made to the Hospice of the North Shore and Greater Boston at www.hns.com, or by mail to 75 Sylvan Street, Suite B102, Danvers, Massachusetts 01923, or to the First Congressional Church of Rowley, by mail to P.O.

Housing price drop in county predicted
"San Diego is basically bouncing around its trough," he said, adding that by the first quarter of 2012 prices here are projected to edge up by 2.6 percent.
Esmael Adibi, director of the Anderson Center for Economic Research at Chapman University in Orange, was more optimistic about the overall state's short-term performance. He said his calculations have home prices increasing this year between 3 percent and 6 percent throughout California. But Adibi acknowledged that his projections might be a little inflated because more expensive homes have been coming onto the market, helping push up the median price.
"If we stay flat, or even if we go down 1, 2, 3 percent, we should be OK," he said. "We are probably at the bottom, but we are not going to bounce back immediately."

When you're a kid, you think your parents watch every little step you take. It's like they have eyes in the back of their head. And that's true even if they're totally blind.
In the Fisher family, that blind parent who sees more than you'd think is Mel, one of the more insightful blind guys you'll ever, um, see. He doesn't let a little thing like ocular impairment get him down. He'll chop down trees like Paul Bunyan, throw a football like Paul Hornung (yeah, Hornung was a running back; that's part of the point here) and teach his daughter to drive like Paul Newman. He never even told his courtroom colleagues—or anyone else outside the family, for that matter—he was blind until just recently. If you think you're going to pull one over on the guy, think again. He and his new guide dog, Elvis, make a formidable pair, and he'd tell you pretty forcibly that Jacob never would've gotten Esau's birthright with him in charge.
This is not to say Mel is perfect. Nor is he shepherding the perfect family. He's separated from his wife now, for one. And maybe that's partly because Joyce likes to think of herself as her kids' best friend—a hip, empathetic, overgrown teen in mom jeans.
Katie, the actual teen in the Fisher family, sometimes plays divide-and-conquer with her parents, while younger brother Henry does his best to just ride out all the insanity, aided and abetted by buddy (and perhaps future juvenile delinquent) Runyen.
"My family's a circus with a blind ringmaster," Henry admits.
And yet, for all their collective quirks and divisions, the Fishers may have netted what it means to be a loving family.
Growing Up Fisher, a 2014 midseason replacement show co-produced by Arrested Development's Jason Bateman and directed by Friends alum David Schwimmer, is both sweet and quirky. It's stocked with loving, caring characters who try to do the right thing (mostly). And, even when things go awry, kids and parents alike find a way to muddle through and make up at the end.
Like the Fishers themselves, the show has its problems. Mel and Joyce's decision to separate comes off as frivolous and wholly unnecessary. And episodes can deal with some ticklish subjects, ranging from underage drinking to drugs to sex. (Sometimes the themes related to these issues are right on. Sometimes they're askew.) A bit of mild profanity hops into the dialogue now and then.
It's an imperfect show about an imperfect family that gets it right, then gets it wrong, then giggles about it for a while before sharing a big group hug.

Episode Reviews
Henry's convinced he's going to go blind on his 12th birthday, just like his dad did. So he decides he needs to see as many things as possible before the lights go out. At the top of his must-see list? In the words of excited-to-help pal Runyen, "naked boobs." The boys proceed to spy on a neighbor lady who breastfeeds, peeping in her window and gawking at her bare back and the side of her breast as she uses a breast pump. Then they try to sneak into the high school girls' locker room (but end up in the boys' instead).
Giggles over everything being bigger in high school ensue, as does an invitation from Mom to talk about Henry's newfound attraction to boys. (He protests mightily.) We later see him in his underwear when a surprise party doesn't get started exactly the way Dad and Mom planned.
Dad, meanwhile, finds marijuana in Katie's bag and lectures her for being high. Turns out it's Mom's joint, so Mel proceeds to lecture her too. After Katie tells him he has a stick up his "a‑‑," he relents, though. In fact, he relents so much he decides to smoke the weed himself as a way of loosening up—an idea a couple of cops don't get in the way of when they realize he's "old" and blind. The end result? Dad and Mam and Katie bond over Mel trying to back off from being so "uptight."
We hear a few profanities beyond Katie's disrespectful outburst; "d‑‑n" is included.
"Trust Fall"
Katie's rescued from a high school drinking party by her parents (who think she's been at a friends' house for game night). "There's one game teenagers like to play," Mel tells Joyce, "and the last round typically involves peeing on a stick." Mom and Dad share their concerns that their daughter could get involved with drinking, drugs and underage sex, and Mel tells Katie that she's "basically drunk on hormones" and shouldn't be allowed out of her room 'til graduation. Katie doesn't seem to be drunk on beer though, and she offers excuses for her deception. Katie believes them, but Mel thinks his daughter still can't be trusted. (Turns out she can.) Dad chases down joggers who leeringly compliment her.
Meanwhile, Henry, in an effort to get some relief from his chaotic family, spends the night at Runyen's apartment, despite his friend's horror stories about his family. Turns out, they're almost picture perfect: Henry marvels that they use real plates for dinner and helps wash up afterward. "Chores, structure, routine?" he gushes. "I love it!" Runyen, though, relishes being at a high school party (even though he's stuck in the car) and longs for someone to be Tased. He and Henry speculate about whether a classmate stuffs her bra.
Mel trips on a bag of beer cans and falls down a hole. He and Joyce drink wine. God's name is misused a handful of times.

Recipe: Blueberry Pie
| November 7, 2013
Photo By Nick de la Torre/StaffBlueberry pie for kitchen to kitchen. Photographed Tuesday, June 28, 2011, in the Chronicle studio in Houston. ( Nick de la Torre / Houston Chronicle )
Tried and True Cora Nell Country Blueberry Pie
1 cup sugar
½ cup water
5 tablespoons cornstarch
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
¼ teaspoon lemon zest
6 cups blueberries, washed
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup shortening
1 egg
2 tablespoons water
½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Flour for dusting
Preheat oven to 410 degrees
For filling
Add sugar, water, cornstarch and cinnamon in a saucepan (large enough to accommodate 6 cups of blueberries). Bring to a low boil and cook for about 10 minutes, making sure the cornstarch has dissolved. Add the lemon juice, zest and blueberries. Set aside.
For Crust
Combine flour, sugar and salt. Cut in shortening until there is no powdery flour remaining. Every bit of flour should come into contact with the shortening. Whisk together the egg, water and vinegar. Add to the flour mixture using your hands or a fork until just moistened. Do not overmix. Split the pastry into half. Turn out on floured board or pastry cloth and roll out until thin and round enough to cover the bottom and sides of your pie plate.
Lift by laying half of the pastry onto the rolling pin and then sliding onto the pie plate. Fill with the blueberries. Repeat with the other half of the pastry. Cut slits or a hole in the middle for steam to escape. Sprinkle with sugar, if desired.
6 Place the pie in the middle of the oven at 410 degrees for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees and cover the sides with foil to prevent burning, and bake another 30 minutes.
Allow to cool, then serve.

I'm glad you put D-Bry in honorable mentions. He really saved his career in WWE with his current gimmick and he's become one of my favorite wrestlers to watch.
Good blog bro, glad to see HBK at the top, couldn't agree more
Ortan at number 3...he kept on kicking people's head even when he was face, which is pretty ruthless and he never really talks about wrestling for the fans or whatever. IMO, his a face in it for himself...
This guy above me, is a playboy..
Not to sound racist, but the Horsemen to me will always be a group of ring generals, one star, one mouthpiece, American and white.
So with that being said this is is who I would place as today's horsemen.
1. Randy Orton
Supporting cast
2. Daniel Bryan
3. Jack Swagger
3. SkipSheffeild
Manager-Michael Cole
Not sure if I'd personally enjoy another reincarnation of the Horsemen. Especially with the risk of further tarnishment on the group's legacy, and after so many Horsemen spin offs. But IF the stable was brought back, I'd be more hopeful of them being managed by either Arn or Flair. Or during their induction, Arn or Flair request for somebody to bring back and manage The Horseman. Then maybe HHH? Well honestly I see HHH continuing his role on the corporate side with some wrestling involvment. Or how bout no manager, but they handpick a leader: Orton. Miz with the cockiness but minus the 'awesome' catchphrase. Rhodes who is on his way up there. The leader is then responsible for recruiting his other 3 members with several possibilties, but my picks: DiBiase and the tag team of McGillicutty (but representing his dad's last name Henning, but not his dad's 'perfect' gimmick) & the tank with a Ferrari engine Husky Harris.
I totally get the idea of the new 4 horsemen it sounds good on paper,but they had a faction in fcw the fortunate sons that had some moderate success.with the right cast and proper push it would get over...1 Ted Dibiase totally under used imo has the mic skills. people are so easy to compare him to his dad. when he is his own individual. 2. Alex Riley this guy his green but with experience can be as solid as they come. 3.Mike Mcgillicutty. drop that damn name he is joe henning folks and i think his work is great. just a lame gimmick his heart isnt into i believe. 4. Mason Ryan. this guy is big semi-athletic but would be the groups henchman. And as for a manager there are a few guys that could fit the mold but mostly i would say regal... he can still get it done in the ring if need be and has a charisma that works well as a manager or wrestler

Hoosiers Split Weekend in North Carolina
Feb. 24, 2008
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The Indiana University women's tennis team hit the road for the first time this spring at No. 19 Wake Forest. Indiana nearly rose to the challenge in a 4-3 setback against the Demon Deacons to begin play before bouncing back for a 5-2 triumph over UNC-Greensboro.
After Wake Forest grabbed the doubles point, Indiana's Alba Berdala evened the team score at one point apiece with a 6-2, 6-4 win in the No. 1 singles slot. Lindsey Stuckey was the next Hoosier to finish, putting the Cream and Crimson ahead 2-1. The Greensboro, N.C. native rode the momentum of a first-set tiebreaker victory into a straight set win at No. 5 singles, 7-6, 6-2.
Freshman Charlotte Martin continued the Hoosier hot streak at No. 3 singles. She also came out on top in a first-set tiebreaker en route to a straight set victory. The Demon Deacons bounced back, however, winning the final three singles matches to earn the 4-3 win.
1. Sierra Poske/Sasha Kulikova (WAKE) def. Alba Berdala/Katya Zapadalova (IND) 8-2
2. Jenna Loeb/Alex Hirsch (WAKE) def. Sigrid Fischer/Lindsey Stuckey (IND) 8-2
3. Aileen Davis/Christian Tara (WAKE) vs. Myriam Sopel/Brianna Williams (IND) 2-3, unfinished
The second match of the day for IU pitted them against the Spartans of UNC-Greensboro. Indiana dominated doubles play with wins of 8-2, 8-4 and 8-0. Brianna Williams and Myriam Sopel were responsible for the 8-0 shutout in the third doubles contest.
Sopel did not lose a single game the entire match as she also posted a 6-0, 6-0 win at No. 6 singles. Sopel has been inserted into the singles starting lineup three times this season, and has responded by blanking each adversary by a 6-0, 6-0 score. Charlotte Martin nearly pulled off a shutout as well, besting Valeria Behr, 6-1, 6-0.
Lindsey Stuckey and Brianna Williams garnered the other two points with three-set wins in singles play. Williams improved to 10-1 on the year in dual match singles.

|Pyongyang, March 7 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il's work "On Thoroughly Establishing the System of Party Leadership" was brought out in booklet on the occasion of his birthday by the Italian Branch of the Korean Friendship Association headquartered in Spain.
The work, published on April 28, Juche 68 (1979), clarifies in detail the problems arising in definitely ensuring the Workers' Party of Korea's leadership over the revolution and construction, including the matter of unconditionally accepting and carrying through the Party's decisions and instructions and establishing the iron-like revolutionary discipline whereby the whole party acts as one.

goddess of agriculture, mother of Persephone, from Greek Demeter; the second element generally given as mater (see mother); the first element possibly from da, Doric form of Greek ge "earth" (see Gaia), but Liddell & Scott find this "improbable." The Latin masc. proper name Demetrius means "son of Demeter."
The Greek and Roman goddess of grain, agriculture, and the harvest. The story of Demeter and her daughter, Persephone, explains the cycle of the seasons. When Persephone was carried off to the underworld by Hades, Demeter was so forlorn that she did not tend the crops, and the first winter came to the Earth. Eventually Zeus allowed Persephone to rejoin her mother for two-thirds of every year, and thus the cycle of the seasons began.

Marc Pingris recalls his life before becoming the 'Pinoy Sakuragi'
Marc Pingris, the "Pinoy Sakuragi," is best known for his defense and hustle for the San Mig Coffee Mixers. His impressive performances have earned him star status in the PBA and a spot in the national basketball team training pool - a very far cry from where the 6'4" center forward started.
In an interview with "Sports Pilipinas" host Chino Trinidad, Ping shares his story and shows us that resilience and hard work really do pay off in the end.
Humble beginnings
When Marc first came to Manila from Pozorrubio, Pangasinan in 1998, all he had with him were two pairs of shorts, a pair of pants, and three shirts. He recalled one particular day wherein after coming home from practice, tired and hungry, he had nothing to eat except for a small plastic bag of spoiled rice. Crying while eating it, Marc promised himself, "Balang araw, kakain din ako ng masarap."
Entering the PBA
After years of hard work and dedication to the game of basketball, Marc Pingris was snagged by the Air21 Express with the third overall pick in the 2004 PBA draft. He was later dubbed the "Pinoy Sakuragi," based on a character from the Japanese comic and manga series "Slam Dunk" who was known for his defensive prowess - a fitting title considering he has been named to the the All Defensive Team five times in his career so far. His hustle, persistence, and defense became his weapons on the floor and when asked about it, he says, "Tiyagaan lang 'yan eh. Kailangan ibigay mo 'yung best mo. Blessed din siguro ako na binigyan ako ni God ng ganoong (talent) so tinuloy-tuloy ko na rin."
Meeting his long lost father
Marc grew up without his father, and after seeing his mother struggle as a single parent, never had the desire to meet him. However, his wife, actress Danica Sotto, eventually changed his mind. Danica sent letters to every Pingris she could find until she finally contacted Marc's uncle. Marc and his mother received a letter from Jean Marc Pingris Sr. soon after.
Marc was hesitant but he said, "Sige, pagbibigyan kita." and went to meet his dad. When he first saw his father, Marc says he started to cry and saw his father tearing up as well. "First time kong narinig sa buong buhay ko, ang sarap ng feeling, 'My son, my son' tapos niyakap ako agad."
The sacrifice he had to make to play for the national team
This August, Marc and his family were supposed to go to France for a family reunion, however, after being called on to play for the national team, he had to cancel. When asked why he chose to set aside this important event in his family's life to play for the country, he said, "Minsan lang kasi sa buhay 'to eh. Alam kong malulungkot (ang daddy ko) dahil time niya 'yun eh. So kinausap ko siya 'Dad, sorry talaga pero para sa bayan (ito).' Balang araw, mapapanood ng anak ko ito. Ang sarap. Kumbaga maraming Pilipinong manonood sa'yo, kung ano 'yung maitutulong mo sa bansang ito. 'Yun yung feeling na hindi mo na maibabalik eh."
Taking care of his God-given talents
Aside from training with the other possible members of the Gilas team, Marc also has his personal training. He says all of this is his way of giving thanks and praise to the Lord who gave him his talents. "Para sa akin, (okay lang) 'yung extra work (kasi) minsan lang dumating 'yung pagkakataon na ganitong malakas ka. Kasi balang araw, tatanda ka, mawawala ka sa basketball. So habang nandito ka, alagaan mo 'yung sarili mo. 'Yun 'yung importante. Kung ano 'yung binigay sa'yo ni Lord na passion mo, kailangan gamitin mo 'yan, alagaan mo. Kung hindi mo pinag-hirapan 'yan, hindi mo minahal, mawawala sa'yo."

This year at San Diego Comic Con the Magic the Gathering Panel had some pretty big reveals and new information. Right from the start they dropped the bombshell that Jace, the Mind Sculptor will be included in the next From the Vault release. That is a story for another day, so maybe I'll talk about that in a future article. The thing I was most happy to see though was the refocus on Top Down Design. Theros is the next set to hit this fall, and the concept of Top Down Design based on Greek Mythology is very much the Mission Statement of this set.
Top Down Design is the idea of designing Magic Cards or even sets with a high concept or theme in mind and then creating cards that fit those concepts and flavor. The best and most recent example of this is Innistrad. Wizards decided to make a set based around the concept of Gothic Horror. The set had no real gimmicks. Innistrad was not returning to a Plane that Magic Players wanted to revisit, it didn't have a limited print run, and it didn't reprint some super powerful $100 card. It was just strong design based around a concept that was fun. Prior to that we had seen many sets that felt like they were based more around the mechanics of the cards or an ambiguous story line that was hard to relate to unless you were a fan of the novels. The new way of thinking led to record breaking sales and broader interest in the game, right? Well hold on a second — was this really a new way of thinking or did developers just rekindle what made Magic great to begin with? Where did the idea of top down design come from?
When Richard Garfield decided he wanted to make a quick Fantasy-based card game to play with his friends in between games of Dungeons and Dragons he didn't have anything to base it on other than the trope of Fantasy. He was not able to examine other Trading Card Games to see how they did it since there were none. Richard was about to become the first Magic Designer and he was about to use the concept of Top Down Design to give us his first Magic Set, Alpha/Beta/Unlimited. Let's take closer look at some of the examples from this first set.
Alright, might as well start at the top. We all know that Moxen speed up the game. We all know that they are super powerful cards which basically let you get a huge resource advantage over your opponent. We all know that they cost a fortune now if you want to obtain one. Many consider them mistakes while others feel that the existence of this type of card is what helped ignite the hype and chatter around the game. The simple truth is that Richard was not thinking of any of that when he designed a Mox. He was simply thinking that in many Fantasy stories there are small objects that give the hero great power. He wanted cards that show off that fantasy trope of magical items of power.
This has always been one of my favorite Magic Cards, not because it is necessarily powerful or unusual but simply because the flavor makes so much sense. What would an Assassin do? Well, kill other creatures of course. This makes perfect sense. If a creature has been distracted ("tapped") the Assassin sneaks in and kills it. This is maybe the textbook example of top down design. It's simple and intuitive. Players know exactly what an Assassin would do and how the card mechanic should work.
Here is White's entry. If you were to brainstorm fantasy tropes it probably wouldn't take you long to get to things like Knights and Castles. So what does a Castle do? It is created for protection. In this design the Castle actually increases each of the creature's defensive strength but only as long as they are in the castle "not attacking". This is yet another simple and intuitive concept that makes the game fun and gives new players a sense of understanding.
This card is designed just the way you would think invisibility should work. The creature that is invisible can sneak past all the other creatures. The Cherry on top here though is the fact that invisibility can't help you get past a wall. That extra little bit of flavor is the type of thing that captures players' imaginations and helps the game feel more tactile.
In this green example we see another basic trope. This is the idea that a magical spring of water can give things such as life or youth. Here the player is able to directly interact with this spring to regain life points. This is a very simple design but goes to show that sometimes the simplest designs can help convey the message the best.
OK, it would have been easy to just say Shivan Dragon here and call it a day. It's a Dragon, it breaths fire, it flies…Save and Print. The reason I picked Stone Giant was mostly due to the subtlety of the design. Here you have a creature that is a giant and he can tap to give another smaller creature flying but that creature dies at the end of the turn. Wait a minute; did that Giant just throw my other creature into the air? This is one of those Aha moments that makes a game fun. It might not jump out at you but when a player discovers the flavor here it is fun and has that Easter Egg feel to it.
After Unlimited the concept of Top Down Design was very apparent in most of the expansions that occurred early in Magic's development. Arabian Nights, Legends, The Dark, and Fallen Empires may house some of the best examples of Top Down Design. Then for many years we saw a shift in design. Sets became driven by what mechanics they wanted to add to the game that year or by storylines within the game itself. In some ways during that time the game lost something: Some of its fun, some of its surprise, and some of its power to bring in new players. When Magic 2010 was released there was a noticeable shift to use more Top Down Design in the core set. Designers were given a unique opportunity since the Core set began featuring new cards that year. Shortly after we saw the huge success of Top Down Design in Innistrad and I can't wait to see how it evolves in Theros. I think this will be a trend we will continue to see going forward in set design simply because it works but let's all appreciate the fact that Wizards is not trying something new here. Instead they are getting back to the roots of what made Magic a great game to begin with.

Welcome back DJ.. We all make mistakes. now just make the best of it.
Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/12/12
Returning to a defense that didn't seem to miss him much, Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams is willing to do anything - even play special teams - to get back on the field after missing the first nine games of the season because of suspensions. The ninth-year veteran, a former first-round draft pick, became eligible to regain his spot on the Denver roster Monday after missing six games for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs, then another three as the result of his second alcohol-related driving conviction. The Broncos are expected to put him back on the active roster later this week. Coach John Fox said his role will be determined after coaches see Williams practice. --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL

CA solar jobs to exceed 50,000 in 2014
Employment in California's solar-energy sector grew by 8 percent in 2013 under robust regulatory and tax incentives, with even more aggressive hiring forecast this year, according to survey results published Tuesday by The Solar Foundation.
The nonprofit research and education group identified roughly 3,500 additional solar positions in the state during the 12 months ending in November 2013.
Relative to its population of 38 million, California solar employment grew more slowly than the U.S. as a whole, which was up by 20 percent to nearly 143,000 jobs.
Vermont now has the most solar jobs per capita in the nation, while California dropped in the category from fourth to fifth place.
Among states with already significant solar workforces, Massachusetts saw its solar workforce expand by 33 percent, New York by 52 percent and Texas by 59 percent.
"There are seven states that grew by 1,500 jobs," said Andrea Luecke, executive director of The Solar Foundation. "We saw 20 states double, or more than double, their number of solar jobs."
The survey, conducted jointly with the BW Research Partnership of Wrentham, Mass., found 47,223 solar workers in California as of November -- about five times the number in second-place Arizona. Arizona lost more than 1,200 solar jobs, leaving 8,558 positions.
Nearly 4,000 California employers participated in the survey, with 674 full responses and an error margin of 3.5 percentage points. The annual national survey dates back to 2010, with detailed state-level polling initiated in 2012.
Looking at 2014, solar employers in California were bullish about prospects for hiring: They anticipated creating 10,500 new jobs, which would translate to 22 percent employment growth in the industry.
That outlook, the foundation notes, is underpinned by a suite of solar-friendly policies in California and relatively high retail electricity rates.
That equation will begin to change this summer, as major California utilities and state regulators restructure residential utility bills to reduce disparities in tiered rates, likely reducing savings for solar customers. Changes are also coming on how rooftop California solar customers are credited for the electricity they generate.
"Solar has won quit a number of significant battles over the years in California," Luecke said. "I'm pretty optimistic that the industry will find a way."
About 10,000 solar jobs are located in the San Diego-Los Angeles corridor, while the San Francisco Bay Area remains the state's epicenter of the solar industry, the survey found. The greater Bay Area had 46 percent of California's solar workers, though the region makes up only 22 percent of the state population.
The foundation's survey pinpointed the locations of California solar jobs, down to political district for U.S. congressional representatives, as well as state legislators.
In the San Diego region, which has five congressional districts, the area for Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Vista, had the most solar jobs -- estimated at 1,351.
Last year, solar installation workers represented 55 percent of all workers in the solar field in California, followed by manufacturing (22 percent), sales and distribution (12 percent) and project development (5 percent).

The Atlanta Thrashers have reassigned forward Ben Maxwell to the Chicago Wolves
The 22-year-old forward was recalled by the Thrashers on Feb. 28 and was held scoreless in two games with Atlanta.
MAXWELL was traded to Atlanta along with a fourth round selection in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft by Montreal in exchange for defenseman BRENT SOPEL and forward Nigel Dawes on Feb. 24. He has not appeared in any games with Chicago this season, but has notched 40 points (11G, 29A) in 47 American Hockey League games with the Hamilton Bulldogs.
The Wolves take on the Peoria Rivermen at Carver Arena tonight at 7 p.m., before returning home to face the Manitoba Moose at the Allstate Arena tomorrow at 3 p.m.

Celebrity Big Brother star Amy Childs is reportedly in talks for her own 'Katie Price-style' reality telly show, it has been revealed. Speaking to the Daily Star, Amy wants to show viewers "the real her" on the new programme.
We'd have thought her three week stay in the Celebrity big Brother house would've done a good job at that.
Amy said: "I want people to see the real me. I'd just be myself and it would be really fun,' she added. You'd get to see me doing photoshoots, opening my own business and out with friends."
And it sounds like Amy is hoping to find love on the new show, she continued: "I miss having a boyfriend and it would be nice to have someone to cuddle.
"I want to find someone who can make me laugh and has a good personality. I want someone good looking. But the most important thing is their sense of humour.
"I want to get married and start a family when I'm 25 so I haven't got long!"

Revenge Season 2: Check Out Nolan Ross's Sexy Style Transformation (PHOTOS)
When you live in the Hamptons, you have to keep on top of style. And though Revenge's Nolan Ross has more money than most of the Hamptonites' designer pocketbooks combined, his Season 1 style didn't quite reflect his wealth.
"That's kind of his idea of, 'Yeah, I'm wearing the cool, preppy stuff.' But he doesn't quite get it right. We wanted to keep an eccentricity to him, but not make him a caricature," costume designer Jill Ohanneson told CNN. "Now that he's been spending more time around the Hamptons, he might start to pick up more information about how stuff fits."
And from the looks of the latest Season 2 photos, Nolan has definitely picked up some style tips while still maintaining his signature quirks.
Actor Gabriel Mann tweeted the photo on the left of Nolan's look from the Season 2 set. And although his clothes have a much better fit than last season's, he still threw in a popped collar for good measure!
We're loving Nolan's sexy Season 2 look! What about you? Tell us below!

Google's new phone number management system, currently in beta< read all 7 reviews
Google Voice, formerly GrandCentral and not to be confused with Google Talk, seems to be sending out invititations to people who signed up for the beta program in the last few months. I received mine a few days ago and have been testing the platform ever since.
Setting up Google Voice is very simple: you select an area code and find an available phone number (pattern searching with words or sequences is allowed). The new phone number becomes a forwarding point for all your other phone numbers, enabling incoming calls to Google Voice to hunt on every other number you provide.
But rather than simply provide virtual forwarding, which is part of many voice-over-IP systems, there are a range of other features that essentially start to fuse the world of email and voicemail. Among the most impressive is the ability to transcribe voicemails and provide an email or SMS containing the contents of the caller's message as text, while also being smart enough to extract contact information to make return calls easy. Everything I've seen from Google in the last year – from translation, Wave to Voice – signals to me that voice recognition, spelling and grammer correction and translation capabilities are about to mature very rapidly. Google Voice also learns from the errors it makes, which seem to be few and far between, and handles background noise and accents more seamlessly than any other phone system I've seen to date.
Apart from this innovation, the management of voicemail works very similarly to Gmail and is accessible from smart phones such as the new HTC Magic. For users who receive voicemail regularly, this significantly eases the problem of having to listen to every message and cuts voicemail management time down to seconds.
Other features include:
There are more features in the pipeline. I presume that the same way Gmail adopted corporate requirements such as email retention, Google will focus on similar needs that make Voice a compelling replacement for existing traditional systems. Skype has not been particularly successful in making inroads on the corporate market, so it will be interesting to see Google's success as this product develops. So essentially, beta testers right now are receiving a free Google phone number for all their devices, free domestic calls, and advanced voicemail management. And so far, my experience has been very positive.

When she saw three teenagersone Jewish, another Hindu and the other Muslimsitting in a storytelling circle laughing and joking about a "village of fools" in Israel, it left her awestruck, said Kate Dudding.
"I was so struck by that because for one reason, how many places in the world would you find a Jew, Hindu and Muslim sitting together as friends and sharing stories? Second, who would have imagined one path to world peace had to do with a village of fools," said Dudding, of Clifton Park.
Dudding has been a storyteller for 15 years now, giving up her job as a computer scientist with GE's Global Research Center to pursue a far freer yet equally intricate life as a teller of tales.
"I fell in love with the art form. I did a little of it, just mimicking other storytellers I'd heard, and I realized if I didn't pursue it, I'd regret it the rest of my life," said Dudding, who was introduced to storytelling when her son was young at the New York State Museum. "It just spoke to me. It's a very personal art form because the storyteller is in the same room, looking into the eyes of listeners, reacting to what listeners are doing It's very intimate where the storyteller is present and acknowledging that they [and the audience] are sharing this experience together."
Dudding used her storytelling prowess to win top prize in a Story Slam at the 2010 National Storytelling Conference in Los Angeles in early August. Around 100 people attended the conference and 11 names were picked out of a hat for a chance to tell their story at the slam. Hers was the last name chosen and with her story of the three youth from different faiths, she won the competition.
The three youth her story centered around are part of a local youth interfaith storytelling group called Children at the Well. She serves as their webmaster and supporter.

Congress approves VA reform bill
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Worthy News)– The Senate gave final approval Thursday to sweeping legislation aimed at fixing the troubled Department of Veterans Affairs, marking a rare moment of bipartisan accord triggered by the widespread treatment delays veterans faced at agency facilities, Fox News reported.
The legislation passed 91-3 a day after the House overwhelmingly approved the package. It now goes to President Obama's desk.
The $17 billion measure is intended help veterans avoid long waits for health care, hire more doctors and nurses to treat them, and make it easier to fire senior executives at the Veterans Affairs Department. — Source

We're in the midst of the NFL Draft, so that means even if you're a casual draftnik, you've had a major dose of ESPN's Mel Kiper over the last few weeks.
Kiper's the premier draft authority and has been for over two decades. In fact, he's such a household name, now he's being impersonated.

Arthur Hills designed and built this municipally-owned course in 1998. Traveling North on I-75, exit 81 @ M-24/Lapeer Rd., take south loop to Business M-24 Pontiac (right side), ½ mile on right entrance to Taylor Rd., Turn right, 1 mile to clubhouse on left.
The land is fairly flat and not heavily forested so most of the challenge is avoiding the water. The green complexes are heavily bunkered and surrounded by mounding so a deft touch and quality short game are needed to score. At 6,978 yards (74.6/147 rating) this course will give you all that you can handle. Fortunately, they provide 3 alternate sets of tees for the less accomplished golfer.
Played on a wet, misty day in May, 2011. While there were some wet spots, the course drained fairly well. Greens were in very nice shape and the overall conditioning was excellent. We were playing a senior tournament and pace of play was not too bad. Because the course is so difficult (we were playing the 142 slope "Gold"), there were the inevitable backups for lost balls but generally everyone was able to move along. Perhaps it is because the hazards are so difficult that you REALLY know the ball is lost and do not need to waste time looking.

Correlation between party membership and public support does not need to reconcile. I would suggest most political parties are presently experiencing a downward turn both in membership and public support. Many citizens have become switched off from the constant bickering of elected persons who seem more intent on securing their own futures than looking after the interests of those they purport to serve.
However, as a disenchanted non-SNP person I have to concede any party with a 30% public support position must be fairly relaxed despite any queries on its actual current paid-up membership.

Final: Angels 6, Twins 4June 26th, 2014, 1:29 pm by RYAN KARTJE
ANAHEIM — Angels manager Mike Scioscia assured Thursday morning that, despite being 10 games above-.500 for the first time this season, his team isn't exactly a "finished product" yet.
But after an early barrage of offense and a solid outing from Jered Weaver shut down the Minnesota Twins, 6-4, on Thursday, the Angels, with their longest winning streak of the season in tow, sure look like they're getting closer.
