How I wish our ODP tryout process was what you described. We live in southeastern PA and my daughter was selected to bypass the phase 1 tryout from the ODP camp this past summer. Phase two was two 1.5 hour small sided game sessions and that was it.Unfortunately, there were only two evaluators for 40+ girls and they seemed to spend more time chatting with each other than evaluating. I'm disappointed my kid didn't make the cut but more disappointed that it didn't seem like a fair (to any of the girls) and thorough evaluation. Maybe someone should have prepared me to not expect the best of the process.ReplyDeleteReplies
The best advice I can give, if your girl is young to keep trying. Soccer players develop at different times. Some advance quickly then level off. Some start of slowly, but rocket past others as they mature. Some burn out, some get hurt and some specialize in other sports. It is constantly changing.Delete
BTW - My niece played in the Southeasten PA - ODP program before she went to play in college. She was a goalie (Unionville HS).

Unionville?! They were our rivals in high school! I went to Avon Grove...many, many years ago.ReplyDelete
My daughter is the hardest worker I know and all that hard work will provide her wtih opportunities for great things in the future. She's only 12 so there is plenty of time until she is old enough for the world cup. :-)
It's okay she didn't make it this year as we got to save a big chunk of money...which can go towards soccer camp this summer!Replies
Perhaps your daughter and my daughter will play together on the USA Women's Nat'l Team someday. Until then good luck.Delete

BIXBY — Spiro senior pitcher Hunter Wilson three-hit the Glenpool Warriors for an 8-0, five-inning, run-rule victory Thursday afternoon in the Bixby Tournament.
Wilson, making his first varsity start, struck out seven batters in five innings.
The Bulldogs broke a scoreless tie with a five-run second inning for a 5-0 lead. Spiro then added a run in the fourth, and a two-run fifth inning got the game to run-rule status.
Editor's note: Wister's home game Thursday afternoon against Smithville was moved to 4:30 this afternoon. Since Smithville's game today was originally scheduled at Heavener, it was unknown at press time if the Wolves would join the action at Wister to form a three-way.

Former McGirr's Nursing Home poised for new lifeBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | January 12,2013BELLOWS FALLS – A Hartland woman who runs a residential care facility in Richmond hopes to open a similar facility at the former McGirr's Nursing Home.
Nanc Bourne outlined her plans to the Rockingham Planning Commission and Zoning Board of Adjustment earlier this week.
Bourne, the executive director of the Sterling House at Richmond, said after the meeting she hoped to complete the purchase of the former nursing home shortly. Bourne said she planned to reduce the number of beds in the facility from 30 to 20, and have lower levels of staffing than the nursing home.
Margaret Perry, the owner and former operator of the nursing home, said Friday she felt the change of McGirr's from nursing home to a residential care facility would benefit the community. She said she had been afraid there wouldn't be a second life for the nursing home.
"I'm happy it's still going to be elder care and it will provide a similar service because it could never be a nursing home again," she said of the rambling structure.
"It has an elevator and all the institutional bells and whistles," she said, noting that Bourne had plans for adding more bathrooms.
Perry said she believed some of the former McGirr's residents, whose health has improved in the past nine months, may return to the new facility.
Perry said the closing on the sale is slated for Monday. "She is ready to start construction. Since we started talking, she's been planning her renovation. I think she hopes to open in two to three months."
Perry was forced to close McGirr's last April after a protracted dispute with federal and state regulators over alleged violations. Most of the problems stemmed from a disabled and mentally ill resident Perry admitted in September 2011 as a favor to state regulators.
"I think it's a great use of a big old building," said Perry, who has maintained ownership of two buildings immediately adjacent to McGirr's, which as been an inn and a two-family home. The building was built in 1897, Perry said.
Perry said she didn't believe the new, but similar, operation would disrupt the neighborhood. "And there will be jobs," said Perry, who owns and operates Hill House Preschool and Daycare Center right next door.
Only one neighbor who attended the zoning and planning board meeting raised any concerns about Bourne's plans. Ron Massucco, who lives across Atkinson Street from the former nursing home, said he was concerned about traffic at the home, specifically parking on Atkinson Street by commercial vehicles.
Bourne said trucks making deliveries would unload in the home's driveway.
The planning commission and zoning board took the Bourne/McGirr's request under advisement.
Perry, contacted after the meeting, said she had met Bourne through the Vermont Health Care Association. She said Bourne had also been involved in running Brookwood Home in North Springfield and the Davis Home in Windsor.
Perry said she believed Bourne would be changing the name of the facility.
Perry said she was still having difficulty tying up the loose ends associated with McGirr's, which had been in her family since 1966.
She said she had recently been hit with a $150,000 fine from the federal government for not submitting expense reports after she closed her facility. Perry said she thought she only had to meet the annual deadline.
She said she is also facing $36,000 in fines and interest from the state for failing to turn in her state license. She said she paid $12,000 a month in state licensing fees, but she was still being charged because she hadn't returned her license to the state.
The state and the federal government were both well aware of the closing of McGirr's, she said.
If the fines and fees aren't mitigated, she said, she will likely have to declare bankruptcy.
"I will scream for mercy before I file for bankruptcy," she said.

I have been procrastinating on posting about the farm because quite frankly other things have been on my mind. I don't think I actually had even SEEN the pigs in a week – thank goodness I am not in charge of feeding them! Also, we had been taking a "wait and see" approach with the bees. After we had added the honey super their expeditious proliferating had slowed drastically and I wasn't sure if we were losing the hive. At that point I decided not to worry about it and was at peace if they ended up not recuperating. I was, however, pleasantly surprised when I opened the lid again today and found that their numbers had increased and many new larvae were almost ready to take flight! The top honey super is still virtually untouched, but their numbers are a lot stronger now. I am not as fearful for them. That said, we will NOT be extracting honey from this newbie hive this year. Although a little disappointed, it probably worked out for the best since we really don't need to spend then money on a honey extractor when we are saving for a much bigger purchase (a tractor/loader!)
The chickens are laying and their smaller pullet eggs have been replaced by HUGE brown eggs that taste OH SO HEAVENLY! We were pulling about 9-12 a day from them for a little while, but we have recently lost a few layers. We are now getting between 8-10 eggs a day. Anyone who lives in the area who would like eggs let me know; we are selling them for $3 a dozen or 2 dozen for $5.00.
"Bacon" and "Sausage" are getting nice and meaty! I will be glad when we aren't paying to feed them and rather they are paying to feed us! Bacon looks near ready while Sausage is a couple of weeks behind. They are SO playful! Here is a video of them acting like dogs playing with an old feed bag.
As for the dairy animal I longed for mere months ago…..well, I have decided that it is not the season of our lives to be adding it. And I am at COMPLETE peace with it. Actually, looking back, I would have been very regretful had I went ahead and took the plunge to get one. This season in my life is a fleeting one and a dairy animal would be taking precious time from those babies that are growing up WAY too fast (yeah, I have said that a thousand times before……but they ARE!). Possibly when they get a little older and are a little more independent we will reconsider, but for now we are going to stick to low maintenance animals that we can leave for a day or two without a big upheaval. I wasn't willing to give up my frequent trips the cabin – I am spoiled, I know!
The garden…..what garden? Ahem. We did get a good harvest of red and white potatoes, red and white onions, jalapenos, salad greens and carrots. Our sweet corn failed…..miserably! I ended up buying a large amount from a local source that we blanched and froze. Our first crop of green beans was decent, but we never got around the second crop. Our peas did okay, but again we didn't get around to a second crop. As of now the chickens have had the pleasure of scrounging the leftovers tomatoes that are not ripening in the cooler weather. The argument arises each year (within MYSELF!) whether making and canning tomato sauce is worth the effort. Each year I start by thinking it is and by the second large batch of grinding, boiling and canning sauce I become doubtful again.
Do you find canning large amount of sauce worth the time and effort? If so, why or why not?

I know, I know…..it has been a while. When I let more than a week or pass between posts I usually am overwhelmed to start again and get a case of writers block. The easiest way I know to catch everyone up is just an un-witty list of stuff that has been happening. So here goes!
How has summer been treating you this week?

Sorry it has been so long! We have had an eventful week. Our meat birds were harvested last Saturday. It was quite the family affair. Having no one to watch the children and having a task that require both Mike and I's participation, the kiddos got a little lesson in chicken anatomy! Mike worked the "kill station" and I scalded and plucked the chickens. Both of us worked on cleaning out the innerds and we then rinsed them and packed them in a cooler of ice water. We finished about half the birds before lunch (we didn't start until after 10:30). Once we had washed up and served our crew lunch we finished the remaining 5 or 6 birds. At that point we had a much appreciated extra hand when our neighbor came down and helped with the cleaning and piecing. All together we put away about 62 pounds of chicken. One (monserously huge) rooster weighted in at 7.25 pounds - DRESSED! I am assuming his live weight was about 8 or 9 pounds! Not bad for 9 weeks. We are planning our next batch of meat birds and we will be going with another breed that range a little better than those freakishly large Cornish Cross birds. I am thinking we will do about 25 next round.
We also had a little more dramatic death at our farm. One of our feeder pigs died of pneumonia. She \ fell ill just a couple of days after arriving and we did what we could and even made a last ditch effort to save her with a round of antibiotics. It was not enough and she died shortly after. It was sad to see her suffer (we were there when she started to die), and gasp for air. While this is all part of life on a living and breathing homestead; it is till solemn sometime. I am pleased to say, though, that "Bacon" seems to be doing VERY well and her antics are very similiar to a dog! She scratches her back on the gate of her pen, chews on sticks and runs around the pen in circles. She is hoot to watch. Tuesday, she will be recieving a new (and hopefully healthy) roommate.

My two chicken whisperers helped me move the meat birds to the chicken tractor the other day. Faith wanted to help carry the chickens so badly, but I assigned her "door duty". AJ is becoming quite the young man around here. Along with his chicken whispering skills he started the majority of the wood stove fires for me on the chilly mornings and also kept the wood rack filled up. He is quite the farm hand!

The chickens are getting quite big already, especially the broilers. We did have one casualty and we are down to 29 chicks now. I think for our next crop of meat birds we are going to stay away from the hybrid variety and stick to some heritage breeds. In particular I found a breed while searching called a Freedom Ranger. They are known for free ranging for a large percentage of their food, thus lowering the cost of feed and increasing the quality of their meat (because they are eating their natural diet instead of just grain all day).
We picked up the hives Saturday and I am super excited about the bees this year. The local honey farm we picked them up at sold out of packaged bees already so we will have to order them elsewhere. Soon we should have a buzzing package to pick up from the post office! YEAH!
The pig pen is done! We found some cheap hog panels on craigslist and got them at half of their sale price which makes momma a happy camper. The hog house itself is missing only a half sheet or so of tin roof otherwise it is fully functional.
Our dairy dreams are starting to get sorted out in evening debates about goat vs. cow. I am really leaning toward a cow because it's milk is not naturally homogenized (meaning the cream will separate naturally) which lends to easier cream separation and therefore easier cheese making, whipped cream making, ice cream making and also butter making. Also, the excess milk from the cow (they will give about 5-8 times that of a goat) can be used to supplement the pig feed and sold to friends of ours who want good hormone free raw milk. I still haven't decided yet if we will be drinking the milk raw or pasteurized. If you have a dairy animal and don't pasteurize I have a few questions for you:

Our chickens finally came in Wednesday and we all piled in the van to go pick them up. We recieved 30 chickens; 10 Cornish meat birds, 5 Black Australorps, 5 Production Reds, 5 Barred Rock, and a straight run of 5 Ameraucanas (hoping to get a beautiful Ameraucanas Cockrel!). Also the Ameraucanas pullets lay beautiful light teal/blue eggs that are gorgeous! Afer the Cornish meat birds are slaughtered off (in about 8-10 weeks) we are going to utilize the chicken tractor for a couple of turkeys.
So for now our basement smells like a chicken coop and I am praying for the warm weather to come so they can migrate to the garage and eventually to the coop where they can free range for some tasty goodies!
We should start getting eggs around the end of July-first of August! CAN'T WAIT! We didn't have chickens last year, so am looking forward to being knee deep in eggs again. Also, since we will have more than we can use we will be selling free range eggs for around $3.00 a dozen in the summer, I will let you know when!

Spring is coming and things are starting to buzz with anticipation here at the farmhouse. Mike and I have been busy doing all those things we put off doing last fall (remember we were busy having our 5th baby in 7 years! LOL!?). Anyhow, now that the warm up is right around the corner (isn't it?) we are getting everything in order for the laying chickens, meat birds, pigs and the garden. We have even toyed with the idea of a goat for clearing some additional garden space and potentially for milk (and meat). We'll see on that one. It might be shelved till next year. We will also be getting a hive of bees this year as long as money allows for it. Since Mike will be working on getting his business up and running (and profitable), the bees may not come to fruition this year either, but it is all in His timing, and He is good.
For now we have been enjoying our mud-pit-of-a-yard on the days above freezing. It is nice to be able to be outside without gearing up in Car hart bibs and winter boots. Mike has completed setting the posts and installing the livestock gate on the pig pen. The chicken coop has also been cleaned out and a few repairs that need to be done have been scribbled on the short list. I have started planning the garden and have put together a light station for starting my heirloom tomatoes, peppers, broccoli and other early starts. Our "scrap wood pile" has been sorted, organized and cleaned in preparation for spring building. Mike is currently (currently as in I hear hammering and circular saws right now!) working on building the pig hut from scrap material.
I am getting almost giddy about the size of my garden this year. I am mixing some different gardening techniques that I have tried/read about for the last several years. The book I most agreed with was Mini Farming (it is in my book carousel to the right). It is a mix of bio-intensive gardening and square-foot gardening. My plan is to create 5-6 four foot beds that are about 50-70 foot long and use them as you would a raised bed (but they won't be raised or contained) and have grass walk paths in between them. This allows me to space the produce more closely and still be able to reach in and easily harvest it, even the stuff in the middle of the bed. I am planning on growing all of our garden in 1200-1600 square feet of beds, but our yield will be comparable to what you could get out of almost twice that amount of space. I will post pictures when we start tilling it up.
Our woodpile is dwindling, but I do think it will last until the warm up. I am so thrilled to announce that we heated ENTIRELY with wood this year. Aside from the occasional weekend at the cabin (where no one was here to keep the fire burning), our woodstove provided heating for the entire house ALL THE TIME. We were also warmer than we ever were before. The house rarely dropped below 70! SOOO nice to be warm, comfortable AND frugal!

Christmas has come and gone - can you believe it? I cant! We had such a wonderful Chirstmas. Christmas with little ones is so magical! We all watched the Nativity story and counted down the day with bible stories on our advent chain. Christmas eve night the kiddos all slept together on the floor of the boy's room. All three right there in a row was so cute. Next year Faith may be big enough to get in on the fun! Christmas eve we had lunch with Mike's parents and did our Christmas there. The kids got a Polaris "hot wheels" and even though it was super icey they took it for a spin for a few minutes that day. Mike slipped and bruised his tailbone (ouch!) while chasing after the crazy drivers. Christmas morning we always reserve for just the 6 of us here at the farmhouse. Michael got a trike, Maddie got a leapster and some games, and A.J. got a kid's digital camera and some games for his leapster. Faith didn't get much, although she didn't seem to mind! LOL! Christmas brunch was at Great Grandmas and we got to hang out with the cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents. Christmas dinner (Prime Rib - YUMYMY!) was at my parents and we opened gifts there as well. The kids got a Wii- although I think Mike and I are enjoying it as much as they are. The kids decided to have a sleep over at Gama and Papas and Michael was even included! I think this is the first time he has ever stayed over anywhere. Mom and Dad said he went to there back door and was saying Mama? Dadda? - I think he was a little confused. Although he didn't miss us too much, as he had a grand time. Mike and I came home Christmas night with only one child - WOW - it has been a while since we only had ONE! I almost forgot what one child was like! After being used to 4 kids all within 5 years of each other one felt like a cake-walk! LOL! For a day or two after Christmas Mike and I hung low and let the kids try out there new stuff and find a place for all the "new" and started a donate pile for some of the "old". We now have quite a few bags of "donate" items. It seems like if you don't take things out when you get new things a house with this many people in it can get overwhelmed. We have learned over the years that less is more and simplifing can make a WORLD of difference.
On the "farm" front, after installing the light in the hen house, we are getting an over abundance of eggs. We have 3 dozen sitting in the fridge - $2.50 - first come! Just email me or comment if you want a dozen or two. Speaking of chickens, we have an injured rooster. I think he broke his leg when it was icey. Although he probably will recover, I think Mike is going to get rid of him anyway. He is eating quite a bit of food and he (obviously) isn't producing any eggs. We were originally going to keep him to hatch some chicks, but I think if we want anymore hens we will just buy the chicks, already hatched, like we did last year. He also got a bit of frostbite on the end of his wattles and his comb. Although it is very common to have that happen and doesn't really affect them too much - the very tip of his comb and the end of his wattles are blackened. The hens seemed to fair the weather quite well, mainly because there combs and wattles are much smaller and get better circulation because of it.
Well I have published some photos on our photo page so check them out. I will add more later. Here is the one our Christmas scrapbook pages. (Made in PSE6)
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
God Bless,
The Farmhouse Family

Fuqua School of Business's Loan Assistance Program Helps Graduates Give Back
Apr 27, 2012 | 0 comments
The Loan Assistance Program (LAP) at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business, now in its 10th year, has awarded almost $1 million to 74 Fuqua alumni who participated in social-impact activities as students and pursued work with nonprofit and government organizations upon graduation. Thanks to LAP, students like Chad Sclove (MBA'03) have been able to apply the business skills they learn at Fuqua to small organizations working hard to make a big difference.
"Without the Loan Assistance Program, I wouldn't be in my current line of work," Sclove says. Participants in LAP, which is managed by Fuqua's Center for the Advancement of Social Enterprise (CASE) and its financial aid office, receive loan assistance disbursements twice a year. These awards, of up to $10,000, make it possible for students like Sclove to meet their loan repayment responsibilities while taking work in fields with more modest pay.
Sclove, who is now the managing director of Common Goods, a nonprofit consultancy that provides services to children with disabilities, hadn't even thought about working in the nonprofit world before coming to Fuqua. "The combination of Fuqua's social enterprise curriculum, the activities of CASE, career counseling and the Loan Assistance Program opened up new doors for me," he says.
To ensure the sustainability of LAP into the future amid growing demand for its services, a team of Fuqua officials recently reviewed the program. They will implement some changes going forward in an effort to assure that available funds go to those who need them most.
Beginning with the November 2012 deadline, LAP will handle applications and disbursements annually rather than twice a year and will start including spousal income and graduate school debt in their financial evaluation for each applicant. LAP's administrators are also modifying the formula they use to determine what percentage of a student's household income is eligible for coverage through the program.
Under the revised guidelines, new participants must opt in and apply for LAP within three years of graduation to be eligible for the assistance available to their graduating class, and they must also describe their interest and participation in social impact activities at Fuqua as part of the application. In an effort to expand the reach of the program, future classes will be eligible for awards of up to $8,000 per year for up to eight years after graduation, down from $10,000 per year for up to ten years.
"We recognized the importance of improving the sustainability of the Loan Assistance Program in order to bring it in line with our core belief that those with the greatest need should be eligible for the greatest awards," said Matthew T.A. Nash, CASE's executive director. "These modifications will enable Fuqua to continue supporting leaders of consequence in the social sector."

Public Safety: Authorities say men tried to sexually assault girls
The victim's name has not been released. An autopsy has been scheduled to determine the cause of death. –D.B.
Motorcyclist injured in collision with car
EAST COUNTY: A motorcyclist suffered major injuries near Campo yesterday when she collided head-on with a Border Patrol supervisor's car, authorities said.
The 26-year-old San Diego woman was westbound on state Route 94 about 4:10 p.m. when she veered into the wrong lane on a curve two miles west of Forrest Gate Road, California Highway Patrol Officer Brian Pennnings said.
Pennings said the motorcyclist collided with an eastbound Border Patrol car, and she was thrown from her bike. She was airlifted to a San Diego hospital with major injuries.
A second woman on her own motorcycle, traveling with the victim, swerved to avoid the crash, lost control of her bike and hit the pavement, Pennings said. Neither the second woman nor the Border Patrol supervisor was injured. The highway was closed for about an hour during the investigation. –P.R.
Man accidentally shoots self during target practice
NORTH COUNTY: Cal Fire crews rescued a man yesterday after he called 911 to say he accidentally shot himself in the abdomen during target practice.
The man, who was not identified, shot himself with a .22-caliber firearm about 11:15 a.m. A Cal Fire spokesman said the man was firing practice shots in a rural area east of Ramona on state Route 78, across the highway from the Golden Eagle Farms.
Cal Fire crews reported by radio that the man was conscious as they waited for a helicopter to take him to a San Diego hospital about 11:30 a.m.
The spokesman said firefighters had to briefly grapple with several dogs who tried to attack them when they arrived to help the wounded man. None of the firefighters was injured. –M.A.
Man must stand trial in slaying of girlfriend
SOUTH COUNTY COURTS: An Oceanside man who spent two days in a sport utility vehicle with the body of his girlfriend must stand trial in her slaying, a judge ruled yesterday.
Juan Ambrocio admitted to police that he strangled Norma Fierro Lopez, 32, on July 4 while parked in her Ford Explorer outside National City, sheriff's Detective Troy DuGal testified in Chula Vista Superior Court.
Ambrocio then drove to Oceanside, where he spent two days in the SUV less than two miles from his parents' house, DuGal said.
After turning himself in July 6, Ambrocio, 24, told police that he killed Lopez after she confirmed his suspicions that she had slept with two other men, DuGal testified.
"He said, and I quote, 'I just snapped,' " DuGal testified.
No explanation was given on why he spent two days in the SUV with Lopez's body, but Ambrocio told police that he considered killing himself and repeatedly apologized to Lopez's body.
Judge David M. Rubin ordered Ambrocio held in jail in lieu of $1 million bail pending a hearing Jan. 30 to set a trial date.
If convicted, Ambrocio faces a maximum penalty of 25 years to life in prison. –R.H.
Staff writers Susan Shroder, Debbi Baker, Mark Arner, Pauline Repard and Ray Huard contributed to this report.

Two US scientists won the Nobel prize for Medicine on Monday for their discovery of RNA interference - pioneering work that has revolutionised the field of molecular biology and is leading to powerful genetic medicines.
Andrew Fire at Stanford University in California, and Craig Mello at the University of Massachusetts in Worcester, each received a gold medal and will share 10 million Swedish kronor ($1.37 million).
The pair "discovered a fundamental mechanism for controlling the flow of genetic information", the Nobel prize jury said.
"It must be the quickest Nobel prize in terms of time from findings to award," says Nick Hastie, director of the Human Genetics Unit at the Medical Research Council, UK.
Hastie says their award was widely expected and highly deserved: "Their findings have led to an enormous scientific revolution - they have opened up a whole new area of biology with great medical application."
Gene silencing
In 1997, the Fire-Mello team discovered that they were able to "silence" certain genes in a cell's DNA by using two strands of RNA molecules. This prevented the genes from being expressed.
Dubbed RNA interference (RNAi), the finding has become an extremely useful research tool, because it allows genetic researchers to "knock-out" specific genes, observe the consequent disruptions, and so determine exactly what the gene does.
It is being used as a genome-wide tool, to search thousands of genes in a cell and screen for their function. The technique has already revealed genes responsible for muscle problems and diabetes," Hastie says.
A byproduct of the discovery of RNAi was the finding that although cells in the human body only contain one strand of RNA, they do have micro-RNA - tiny sections of RNA that can act a little like double-stranded RNA and also silence the activity of certain genes. Experts believe the body uses micro-RNA in its immune response.
In 2004, it was discovered that a mutation in one of these micro-RNAs caused diabetes, (see Bits of RNA wield power over genes).
Group effort
Researchers are using RNAi and micro-RNA in drug development, hoping that by shutting down genes that cause disease they will be able to cure diseases such as cancer and HIV.
"I am very honoured that our work has received such positive attention," said Fire in a statement. "Science is a group effort. Please recognise that the recent progress in the field of RNA-based gene silencing has involved original scientific inquiry from research groups around the world."
He added: "Any prize recognition should go to the many scientists who have made individual contributions, and to the spirit of scientific community that has allowed information and ideas to flow freely."
The Medicine prize is the first of this week's coveted Nobel honours. The Physics prize will be announced on Tuesday and Chemistry on Wednesday.

A man has been shot dead in clashes between two Kuria clans along the troubled Kuria East and Trans Mara West districts border over cattle rustling claims.
Kuria East police boss Gladys Ogonda said armed Abanyabasi clan members claimed the Abairege clan had stolen their hundreds of cattle.
The victim was shot dead at Magena village as the clashes spread to Trans Mara.
Police recovered 47 out of the 72 head of cattle that had been allegedly stolen by the Abanyabasi clan from Abairege.Police said tension was still high at Kugitimo village after clashes broke out yesterday. Regular, Anti Stock Theft Unit and administration police officers have been deployed to the area.
Residents claimed some of the raiders were from neighbouring Tanzania and accused chiefs from the two clans of taking sides and failing to inform authorities on the imminent attack.
"The Abairege clan has been attacking Abanyabasi whenever their cattle are stolen and aid outsiders during the raids. Security forces are not helping the situation," said Mzee Moses Rioba, a village elder.
A peace committee chairman Chacha Mangiteni said many residents were keeping illegal arms yet the government had failed to confiscate them.

Syrian rebels gather around a T-72 tank, captured from government forces two months ago, in the village of Kfarruma in the flashpoint Syrian province of Idlib near the border with Turkey, on February 10, 2013. AFP PHOTO/DANIEL LEAL-OLIVAS
BEIRUT: Syrian rebels captured the country's largest dam on Monday after days of intense clashes, giving them control over water and electricity supplies for much of the country in a major blow to President Bashar Assad's regime.
The rebels had already seized two other dams on the Euphrates River. But the latest conquest, the al-Furat dam in northeastern Raqqa province, was a major coup for the opposition. It handed them control over water and electricity supplies for both government-held areas and large swathes of land the opposition has captured over the past 22 months of fighting.
Two separate car bombings in northern Syria killed a total of 26 people. Both were blamed on al-Qaida-linked militant group Jabhat al-Nusra.
The rebels have had their biggest success in the civil war across Syria's north including Idlib, Raqqa and Aleppo provinces, all bordering Turkey.
Rami Abdul-Rahman, a Britain-based activist with the group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said rebels took control of al-Furat dam around midday after successfully pushing out a group of Assad loyalist from the control room. Most of the regime troops in the area had stopped fighting on Sunday following the fall of the nearby town of al-Thawra, Abdul-Rahman said.
The rebel assault on the dam was led by al-Qaida-linked militant group Jabhat al-Nusra.
The government did not confirm it has lost control of the dam.
Earlier this month, the Observatory said rebels seized another smaller dam in Raqqa province, the Baath dam, named after Syria's ruling party. In November, Syrian opposition fighters captured Tishrin hydroelectric dam near the town of Manbij in northern Aleppo province, which borders Raqqa.
Members of al-Nusra, which the U.S. has branded a terrorist organization, have been among the most effective fighters in the battle to oust Assad. The group had led battles for the other two dams, and was also a decisive force in the opposition's successful attacks on regime army bases outside major cities, including the capital, Damascus, and Aleppo in the north.
The group was also believed to be behind two car bombings on Monday.
One exploded near a border crossing with Turkey in Idlib province. Bulent Arinc, Turkey's deputy prime minister, said 12 people were killed - nine Syrians and three Turks. He said 28 people were wounded, nine of them Turks. The vehicle that exploded had a Syrian license plate, he added.
Turkey's NTV said most of the victims were Syrians who had been waiting to enter Turkey. It cited Huseyin Sanverdi, mayor of the nearby Turkish town of Reyhanli, as saying the explosion occurred in a "buffer zone," an area straddling the frontier where travelers are processed while crossing between the two countries.
Witnesses said it struck a spot where humanitarian aid is loaded onto Syrian vehicles.
The border area between the two countries has been the scene of fierce fighting in the civil war. Tensions have also flared between the Syrian regime and Turkey in the past months after shells fired from Syria landed on the Turkish side.
As a result, Germany, the Netherlands and the United States decided to send two batteries of Patriot air defense missiles each to protect Turkey, their NATO ally.
In the second car bombing, the Observatory said members of Jabhat al-Nusra blew themselves up in two car bombs outside an intelligence office in the city of Shadadah in the northeastern province of Hasaka, killing at least 14 security agents.
The Observatory said Shadadah has been the scene of heavy clashes between troops and rebels.
Diplomatic efforts to stop the carnage in Syria have failed, leaving the international community at a loss for ways to end the civil war.
Assad presented a plan last month, offering a national dialogue. The opposition rejected it, saying no to talks unless the president relinquishes power.
Former Prime Minister Riyad Hijab, one of the highest ranking officials to defect from Assad's regime, met Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby and asked him to let the Syrian opposition take over the country's seat in the pan-Arab organization.
The Arab League has suspended Syria's membership over its military crackdown against protesters calling for regime change.
Hijab, speaking to reporters, did not say whether Elaraby has agreed to the request and there was no immediate comment by the Cairo-based League.
Assad was quoted by state-run news agency SANA as saying Syria will not give up its principles "regardless of how strong the pressures and conspiracies" are against it.
The report said Assad met in Damascus Monday with John Yazigi, the Eastern Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch.

CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Bengals fans gave Carson Palmer a rude welcome back in his first trip to Paul Brown Stadium since being traded to Oakland last year. The Bengals were even less hospitable. Cincinnati scored on three of its first four possessions and won its third straight game, 34-10, against the Raiders in a fight-marred game at Paul Brown Stadium. Cincinnati left tackle Andrew Whitworth and Oakland defensive linemen Tommy Kelly and Lamarr Houston were ejected with 7:16 left in the fourth quarter following a fight that erupted one play after an inadvertent whistle denied Oakland a fumble recovery and possible touchdown. Quarterback Andy Dalton, drafted in the second round to replace the disgruntled holdout Palmer in 2011, completed 16-of-30 passes for 210 yards and three touchdowns while running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis rushed for 129 yards and one touchdown as Cincinnati improved to (6-5) to keep pace in the AFC playoff chase and send Oakland (3-8) to its fourth s...

We held a debriefing on July 16 with national staff most closely connected to the WorldSkills Competition in Leipzig. We discussed what we learned this year and ways to improve our processes and results in the future. The contestant selection process was certainly an improvement over prior years and the team represented us well. But, the training gap between the U.S. contestants and those of other nations is large. When I met with the chief delegate from Korea, he was surprised to learn that our contestants are recent high school graduates and college students. In Korea, they train their students for up to four years, 365 days a year specifically for the WorldSkills Competition. Heidi Walsh said: "Our team gave it their best. Many of them said to me, 'If my scores can be close to these other guys, then I'm pretty good.'"
Scott Norman, our technical delegate, and Dave Worden of our staff will survey the SkillsUSA WorldTeam technical committees for their reactions and insights. They will also conduct a survey of the Championships technical committees to see if members are interested in becoming more involved in SkillsUSA WorldTeam preparation.
Brenda Dann-Messier, assistant secretary, Office of Vocational and Adult Education at the U.S. Department of Education, toured the WorldSkills Competition with me. I know she was impressed. Following is the report she sent on July 18 to every state department of education. I appreciate her giving the SkillsUSA WorldTeam this kind of coverage. Several people in the state departments sent me the link so I know it has been read. To see the report, go to: http://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USED/bulletins/83ec2c.
Staff member Craig Moore traveled with the team to Germany, and he did a great job of posting news and photos on the SkillsUSA website. Click on SkillsUSA WorldTeam results. You'll almost feel as though you were there too. Go to: www.skillsusa.org/compete/worldteam.shtml.

As part of efforts by the Police Management Team to promote access to justice, transparency and accountability in matters relating to policing and general crime fighting, the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, has approved the release of a new e-mail address that will enable members of the public communicate directly with his office.
The new e-mail address, according to a release signed by the Force spokesman, Frank Mba, Chief Superintendent of Police, is: firstname.lastname@example.com. The use of this e-mail address, the IG advised, should be when providing information on the activities of criminal groups, terror gangs or other forms of organised crimes such as armed robbery, kidnapping, human trafficking, advanced fee fraud, arms trafficking, etc.
Abubakar also encouraged Nigerians to use the address when reporting cases of breach of public peace or imminent breach of public peace, when providing information relating to ongoing criminal investigations by the police and other law enforcement agencies, and when reporting the conduct of police personnel or the conduct of personnel of other law enforcement agents involved in corrupt and other forms of unlawful acts.
The police boss further advised that the address should be used when commending members of the Force for acts of gallantry or other forms of exemplary or exceptional conduct displayed in the course of their duties, when reporting cases or incidents of electoral offences or other matters related thereto, and when advising or commenting on matters relating to national security, especially when such matters have direct bearing with the activities of the Nigeria Police.
The IG appealled to potential users of the e-mail to ensure the integrity of their information and make conscious efforts to avoid providing false, malicious or deliberately misleading information to the Force.
He said users should be guided by the higher virtue of patriotism, selflessness and ultimate service to the community, taking steps to ensure that they act in good faith at all times.
He warned that established cases of deliberate falsehood or intentional misrepresentation of facts may attract reprimand and in extreme cases, outright prosecution in courts of law.
The IG said the effective use of the new email address will help in checkmating excesses of law enforcement personnel, encourage free flow of information between the public and police managers, and ultimately promote efficiency and better service delivery.
He solicited the cooperation and the understanding of the general public, urging them to take advantage of the new communication channel in exposing the ills of the society and partnering with the Police to tackle them.
He assured all users of the e-mail that information provided through the medium will be treated with almost confidentially and the anonymity of their providers respected.
Once again, the IG reminded the public of the willingness of the Force to collaborate with all positive-minded citizens in the fight against crime and criminality.
It is his assurance that the Police Force, under his leadership will stop at nothing in preserving the sanctity of the rule of law and providing adequate security to life and property of all Nigerians.

A little at a time.....The trans I'm using is actually 1/24 scale in a 1/25 model (I know, but I don't care right now), and it's a big trans to start with, a ZF 6 speed, so making a trans tunnel to accommodate it, the engine setback, and still have room for the seats I want to use took a little thought.
On top, with a mark where the shifter will go...
The asymmetrical console that will tie in to the dash and tonneau designs....

She's been resting while I've been working on some new filler techniques, but as of today is back in the rotation. There's a lot of sculpting to do on the tonneau, and I wasn't entirely satisfied with the polyester filler, as thick as it was going to be. The epoxy / microballoon filler I've been experimenting with solved the problem, though it takes an overnight cure. More pix shortly.

Had some pinhole issues in the f'glass patch-panels, finally decided how to kill them by forcing Squadron Green into them with a chisel-tip blade.
I also removed too much material from the rear corners of the chassis, so that's getting dealt with now. The fuel tank also gets modified to make room for pipes to run under it.

Thanks for the update. Nice to see an ambitious project return for round #2. Tough builds are tough builds. Especially when "life" interrupts. I have a project that's been kicking around under the bench for about 14 yrs. now...... I wish I had the time like I did when I was younger to build more.
Again, good to see the update. Looking good and we're paying attention.

Co Parenting Can Increase Good Child Behaviour
By Holly Tavandine on 08/04/2013 9:23 am in Daily Parenting and Pregnancy News, Living News, United States News
For many families, they can easily break down. This is going to be something that not only affects the parents but children. No matter what their ages are, the children are always going to be the ones that are affected when two people fall out or break up entirely. However, supportive parenting, co parenting, can actually be a fantastic way to ensure the children are kept happy and safe.
However, it is the same for adopted children. Whether a couple is in a heterosexual relationship or in any other type of relationship, supportive co parenting is going to help with child adjustment. This is all about adopted children because many people believe since the child has came from a broken home or have been left without a home, people can at times, automatically assume the child is bad.
This isn't everyone but many people believe this and even the child can believe this themselves. For many children who are in foster care and in fact are waiting to be adopted by a family, they can believe they are the ones who are bad. As a result, the children can act out. They can show aggression, and become badly behaved when they are adopted out to a family.
However, a recent study has shown that co parenting and supportive co parenting can actually change the way a child can behave in life. Of course, tasks such as childcare and playing with the children are very important, supportive co parenting can have a massive effect on a child and whether they have behavioral problems such as acting out.
The study looked at around 100 families that had adopted children. The families ranged from heterosexual couples to gay and lesbian couples; and all of the children had been adopted by the families when they are born or during the first few weeks of their lives also.
The study showed some interesting results however. Couples who were in same sex relationships did almost the same as heterosexual couples when it came to raising their children and taking responsibility in childcare. Sometimes, same sex relationships did better in one area than heterosexual couples and vice versa.
This study showed something– anyone can become good parent. The message in which this showed was every child, no matter where they're placed with, they need the basic things in life. They need loving parents, support and happiness. Though, the study also showed that adopted children can still feel out of place at times with their families even though they have raised them and have been with them since the child was born.
Some children don't find out they're adopted but that's up to the parents as to whether the child or children should be told. Many decide to tell their children that they are adopted but the real fact is, it doesn't matter whether they have given birth to a child because if they raise them, take care of them and love them, they are a real parent.

Phoenix Vice Mayor Waring upset over police pay cut
The Phoenix City Council voted Wednesday night to slash the pay of police officers to help the city climb out of a $37 million budget deficit.
One council member who voted against the plan is pretty upset.
"Last night's city council meeting was just the strangest meeting that I've seen in public life," Phoenix Vice Mayor Jim Waring said of the 5-4 decision. "No member of this city council can ever make fun of the state legislature again."
Waring is especially baffled by the actions of Councilwoman Kate Gallego.
"There was a motion last night that would have saved the police officers' pay cut," Waring said. "Councilman Sal DiCiccio and I voted for it. Curiously, the maker of the motion, Councilwoman Gallego, did not vote for it.
"I don't know why you would make a motion, and then not vote for your own motion."
Gallego has been unavailable for comment.
Waring says that instead of cutting police pay, it would have made more sense to slash funding for poetry programs, golf courses and travel.

iREB R6 Download is Now Available
In order to remind you about the use and meaning of iREB, I want to tell you some things for those of you who want to keep up. First, iREB r6 is a special program that it is used to restore the custom firmware that is currently running on your device and to put your device in the Pwned Mode. In the same time, the restore is possible only if you already create a custom firmware restore using RedSnow or Snowbreeze. If for some of you this is not such big of deal, you will see how useful this is when you will want to restore your device to a previous firmware.
The good news was just revealed on the market. Apparently, iREB was upgraded and it is now available for download. The latest version, iREB R6 offers support also for iOS 6.0/6.0.1. In the same time, the program prevents you from encountering all these annoying iTunes errors: 1604, 1600, 1601 or 16xx. If you already tried to restore your firmware using another option, I am sure that you know what I am talking about. Therefore, iREB offers now full support for all operating systems starting with iOS 3 and ending with iOS 6. In the same time, the latest iREB version also fixes the error that displayed the "Waiting for iBSS" message.
This is great news for everybody especially when most of you want to restore their previous firmware until an untethered jailbreak for the respective firmware will be available on the market. In what concerns the compatibility, iREB R6 still supports only iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 or iPod Touch 4th generation running on the latest iOS. In the same time, I want to mention the fact that the program is available for Windows download only.
To conclude, iREB lets you put your iPhone, iPad or iPod in the Pwned Mode in order to restore the firmware, but only if you already created a custom firmware using RedSnow or Snowbreeze. Head over to our Download iREB page in order to download iReb R6.

There's a reason the barred owl is called the 'hoot owl'Last week's column was devoted to the great gray owl. This week I will give center stage to the great gray's cousin. One of my favorite Minnesota owls — indeed, one of the most common in our state — is the barred owl.
By: Blane Klemek, Bemidji Pioneer
Last week's column was devoted to the great gray owl. This week I will give center stage to the great gray's cousin. One of my favorite Minnesota owls — indeed, one of the most common in our state — is the barred owl. This owl, which resembles its great gray owl relative, is smaller than both the great horned and great gray. Its head has no feathered "ear" tufts, while its underside is streaked with a barring pattern.
The distinctive call of the barred owl is a familiar call of the woods: "Hoo, hoo, too-HOO; hoo, hoo, too-HOO, ahh." Its call is even better described, remembered and written as, "Who, cooks, for-you? Who, cooks, for-you, all?" No other owl gives a hoot like this owl's hoot.
In fact, the barred owl's hoot is the reason for another of its many common names — hoot owl. Other not-so-common names include rain owl, wood owl, eight hooter, black-eyed owl, striped owl, swamp owl, and laughing owl.
The barred owl's common name stems from the horizontal barring of the upper breast and the vertically streaked plumage pattern of its belly and flank.
As well, the barred owl's Latin name, strix varia, has relevant meaning too. Strix is derived from the Latin word strizo, which means scream, whereas varia means variegated, which refers to the barred owl's plumage.
Here's an owl with perhaps the widest variety of vocalizations of any owl. Those of you unfamiliar with the nighttime language of barred owls are either in for a real treat, a real scare, or both. Barred owls are known to screech, scream, hiss, squeak, whisper, whistle, cry, bark, buzz, growl, and even laugh. These other, more bizarre sounds are produced anytime during the year, day or night. Yet it is during the late winter/early spring breeding season when barred owl couples become especially raucous.
Courtship calls are hard to describe, but Edward H. Forbush's quote within the pages of Arthur Bent's Life Histories of North American Birds of Prey illustrates it best. He wrote, "At one of my lonely wilderness camps in the month of March a pair of barred owls came to the trees over my campfire and made (the) night hideous with their grotesque love-making, banishing sleep during the evening hours. Their courting antics, as imperfectly seen by moonlight and firelight, were ludicrous in the extreme.
"Perched in rather low branches over the fire they nodded and bowed with half-spread wings, and wobbled and twisted their heads from side to side, meantime uttering the most weird and uncouth sounds imaginable. Many of them were given with the full power of their lungs, without any regard to the sleepers, while others were soft and cooing and more expressive of the tender emotions; sounds resembling maniacal laughter and others like mere chuckles were interspersed here and there between loud wha whas and hoo-hoo-aws."
Bent himself described one memorable experience of his own, relating, "Once while fire-lighting for deer in the Adirondacks, our canoe floated under an overhanging tree; the peaceful silence of our noiseless motion was rudely broken by a series of unearthly yells over our heads; fully expecting to see a panther, or at least a wildcat, jump into our canoe, we were greatly relieved to see a pair of barred owls fly away."
Such descriptiveness from these outdoorsmen about their experiences is admirable, as they fully and accurately capture the vocal essence of the barred owl. It's also telling why I receive at least one telephone call or e-mail each year from someone uncertain about what they had heard deep in the woods behind their homes. Frequently enough the cries of the dark forest are answerable to a pair of barred owls, not of the mountain lion so oft blamed and described as sounding like a "screaming woman" or "crying baby."
Of owls, barred owls are quite tolerant of people. On many occasions, I have delighted in eliciting their inquisitive callbacks and luring them to within mere yards by simply imitating the "who-cooks-for-you" call. It's a remarkable experience to not only observe barred owls up close, but to hear their vocalizations so near.
Another unforgettable experience occurred this past November as I sat in a tree. While scanning the woods for deer in the closing minutes of evening light, I heard a strange sound. Turning to face the direction of the noise, I was startled by the sight of a barred owl glaring at me from only three feet away. The bird, having just landed,perched on a limb for a few seconds, then blinked, squawked and flew off.
It won't be long before barred owls will commence courting and nesting again. Usually choosing a cavity inside a tree or, sometimes, an abandoned nest, a barred owl hen will lay two to four eggs, but usually just two. After an incubation period of about 21-28 days, the youngsters hatch.
Feeding them beak-to-beak tiny bits of flesh they tear from prey items, both parents tend to the nestlings until the young birds fledge about four to five weeks later. There's some evidence that barred owl parents continue feeding their offspring for as long as four months.
The barred owl, one of a dozen species of Minnesota owls, might not be the most recognizable of our inhabiting owls, but I would say this pleasing sounding owl has one of the most recognizable hoots as we get out and enjoy the great outdoors.

½ Chicken (cut in 8 pieces)
2 sprig Thyme
1 tbsp Salt
1 stalk escallion
4 Pimento Berries (Allspice)
½ lb Yellow Yam
2 Irish Potatoes
2 lb. Pumpkin (cut up into 1 inch pieces)
1 Cho-cho (Christophine) (cut up into 1 inch pieces)
1 pk Jamaican Chicken Noodle or Cock Soup
1 oz. Butter
1. In a stock pot, add three quarts of water and then add salt to taste. Bring water to a boil then add chicken, pumpkin, and cho-cho together. Boil for 30 minutes.
2. Peel the skins off the yellow yam and potatoes and wash these root vegetables in cold water to remove the dirt.
3. Cut each vegetable into four slices and then add them to the pot.
Special tip: - You man add spinners (small dumplings) to the soup at this time if you wish.
4. The flame should be turned to high at this point and allow to boil for 15 minutes.
5. Add the remaining ingredients to the pot, turn the flame down to medium, and cook for another 10 minutes, then simmer for another 5 minutes.
6. Check the yellow yam to ensure that it is soft. If not, cook until it becomes soft but not mushy.

Comedian John Caparulo to Perform at Kent State UniversityPosted Jan. 28, 2013
Comedian and Kent State alumnus John Caparulo will take the stage at the Kent Student Center Ballroom on Thursday, Jan. 31. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show will begin at 8 p.m.
Tickets cost $5 for Kent State students, $10 for the general public and can be purchased from the Memorial Athletic and Convocation Center ticket office and from Ticketmaster.
Caparulo made his stand-up debut in 1997 in comedy clubs around Cleveland and Pittsburgh. He had his big break in 2003 at the "Just For Laughs Festival" where his impressive stand-up act landed him a sitcom deal. You may also recognize him from his multiple television appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Comedy Central Presents, and Blue Collar Comedy: The Next Generation, and as a regular on Chelsea Lately.
Caparulo's first feature film, Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show, was released in 2008, as well as his one-hour special called Meet Cap that is now available on CD/DVD. He also voices the role of "Headphone Joe" in the Disney Channel series Fish Hooks. In 2010, Caparulo became the spokesperson for Edge Shave Gel.
