Clyde I. White
Clyde I. White, 82, of Hempstead, TX, previously of Carrollton, passed away Jan. 8, 2013, at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medial Center in Houston.
He was born Jan. 7, 1931, in Lee Township, OH, to the late Mildred (Manwaring) White and Foster White.
Clyde was a devoted husband, married 60 years to his loving wife who will miss him dearly, Marlene (Roudebush) White. His sister, Rhoda Mae (White) Long, and his brother, Everett White, who live in the Carrollton area. He was preceded in death by a sister, Marjorie White.
Clyde and Marlene are blessed with six children and their loving spouses: Stan White and his wife Cathy (Piaggo) White, Brenda (White) Cassidy and husband Donald Cassidy; Janice (White) Bake and husband William Bake; David White and wife Carmelita (Abella) White; Mona (White) Meenan and husband Daniel Meenan; and Marla (White) Manning and husband Michael Manning. Clyde and Marlene are doubly blessed with twelve wonderful grandchildren and seven great-grand children.
Clyde was a veteran of the Korean War, serving in the U.S. Marine Corps. He worked with the "D" company as a Maintenance Supervisor for The Timken Company in Canton, retiring in 1982 after 32 years of service. After retirement, he and Marlene enjoyed traveling across the U.S. and later settled northwest of Houston, in Hempstead, Texas in 1997. They returned to Ohio each summer to spend time with family and friends.
Clyde was a devoted husband and family man. He enjoyed a good euchre card game with family and friends, was an avid gardener, reader, kept an eye on all the local birds no matter where he was, and accomplished all he desired to accomplish. He was a man of faith sharing his kind and caring spirit with many friends and neighbors over the years, helping with home repairs or whatever was needed. Clyde loved life and asked that his life be celebrated upon completion.
A memorial church service will be held Feb. 17, 2013, in the First United Methodist Church in Hempstead, Texas. A service at the New Harrisburg Presbyterian Church is planned for June 2013 to celebrate Clyde's life.
Given Clyde's love of nature, the family suggests memorial contributions be made to the National Parks Conservation Association, PO Box 97202, Washington, DC 20077-7433.

Actually, that rank is E-4 which would be Corporal, a non commissioned officer. Another indication of rank are the Blood Stripes on his pants. The travel Uniform is Dress Blues, as we are not allowed to wear our "Cammies" unless we're on duty, and normally only wear our Service Alphas to drill, or when reporting to a new duty station. That being said, it is policy that we wear a white t-shirt underneath our dress blues and I'd like to know where his NCO's belt is, or why his marksmanship medal is not on the uniform, and why his service ribbons are on both sides, as the right side should be devoid of medals or ribbons. That being said, I think we all know he's not a real Marine, but if you're gonna pick the movie apart get the facts right. Also, you are correct Marines do not chew gum while walking around in our Dress Blue Alpha's.Spam
rank is private and the USMC travel uniform is not dress blues, still, very hot fantasy. Marines don't chew gum in their dress blues....Spam
You know he has a HOT Ass. One that begs to be eaten and fucked. It's too bad we didn't get a chance to see it! Hot man!!Spam

Comments about 10 Gallon 6.5 Peak HP Right Stuff Wet/Dry Vacuum:
Faults:It would be nice if all the attachments fit the hose with out the included adaptor, a bit of a pain. The off on switch seems week. Attachment rack a joke.
Pros:The compact size is great. The vacuum seems strong. The hose is long and well built. Wheels are well built. The electric cord is long and a heavy gage.
I like being able to use a vacuum bag that fits inside the canister if I want.

What kind of evidence would you need to believe that theory of the big bang doesn't cut it? What if a discovery has been made that will require us to change our entire view on the creation of the universe?
Such a discovery has been made.
A quasar with an enormous redshift has been found embedded in a nearby spiral galaxy with much lower redshift. This changes the whole view of the universe—big bang astronomy will never be the same.

Centre Siyanda Grey scored a hat-trick of tries to give the Kings a well-deserved win in their opening match of the six nation's tournament.
The South Africans had their hands full against the bulkier Georgians at the set phases but nevertheless pulled through.
Georgia drew first blood when left wing Irakli Chkhikvadze went over for a try.
After the conversion by fullback Malkhaz Urjukashvili, the Georgians enjoyed an early 7-0 lead.
The Kings, however, soon evened the scores at 7-7 when Grey juggled the ball a few times but then got it under control and darted from the outside to score under the posts.
The South Africans kept the scoreboard ticking, thanks to the boot of flyhalf Louis Strydom who converted two of the team's tries and four penalties.
Strydom gave the Kings a 10-7 lead after a penalty kick shortly before the end of the first quarter.
Their lead was short-lived, however, as Georgia soon replied with another try.
Kings scrumhalf Boela Abrahams misjudged the bounce off the ball in his 22 and could only look on as Georgia's towering winger, Besiki Khamashuridze, grabbed the ball and finished off with a five pointer.
The South Africans had a minor set-back with 10 minutes left in the first half when prop Clint Newland was yellow carded.
The Kings nonetheless did well not to concede any points in Newland's absence.
Shortly before the break, Strydom brought the Kings within a point of the Georgians with another penalty conversion.
The Eastern Province team kicked into gear after the interval, chalking up 18 points to Georgia's three.
Their second half flourish was ignited by two tries from Grey within two minutes with 10 minutes left in the match.
The Kings' defense held strong to keep a resurgent Georgian team from making a comeback.
Scorers: South African Kings (13) - Tries: Siyanda Grey (3) Conversions: Louis Strydom (2). Penalties: Strydom (4)
Georgia (14) - Tries: Irakli Chkhikvadze, Besiki Khamashuridze. Conversions: Malkhaz Urjukashvili (2). Penalties: Urjukashvili

West braces itself for more heavy rain after flooding chaos
Posted: November 22, 2012|
The West was bracing itself for more heavy rain this afternoon after torrential downpours brought flooding chaos to the region yesterday.
Many villages and entire towns were effectively cut off as hundreds of roads were rendered impassable, with the Taunton area one of the early casualties.
All the West's railway lines were affected, schools were closed with drivers rescued across Wiltshire, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Bristol and Somerset.
Avon Fire and Rescue rescued a woman in labour trapped in her home at Bishop Sutton, Somerset. Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue said they had been called to more than 50 incidents as 39mm of rain fell in a 12-hour period. They received more than 300 calls for help since 2am yesterday morning.

Live updates: Heavy rain and 70mph winds cause traffic chaos on Somerset's roads
Fire chiefs in Wiltshire appealed for people to only contact them in an absolute emergency after being inundated with more than 60 calls in a couple of hours.
The village of Dinhams, near Ruishton, Somerset, sits just infront of the River Tone, which burst its banks. Daniel Hobson, 32, lives in a bungalow in the village and was concerned that more rainfall would cause his home to flood.
He said: "I woke up around 7am and there was a bit of a puddle out there and it has gradually got worse and worse as the day went on. Now it is literally lapping at my front door.
"I have sandbags there but they don't seem to be doing a lot, when a fire engine went past earlier the wave it created sent the water over the sandbags and has left a nice little puddle in my hallway.
"I don't have anywhere to go if it does flood either, I have two cats and a very excitable dog who absolutely loves the water, it would be a nightmare."
Two large landslips were reported on the B3192 near Teignmouth Golf Club, Devon, and a further slide was reported on a train line near Chippenham.
Rail services also ground to a halt after lines were submerged and trains stranded. Passengers were warned not to travel unless necessary and those who did travel were told to expect delays of two hours.
Weather forecasters said the clear skies of yesterday afternoon and last night as the heavy rain band slowly moved away to the east were just a temporary respite – more heavy rain is predicted to lash the West Country later today and into the evening.
The deluge began on Tuesday evening and the first call to firefighters to rescue stricken motorists came late on Tuesday night from a driver in Holnest, near Sherborne on the Somerset-Dorset border, stuck in his car in floodwater.
But by early morning yesterday, scores of emergency call-outs to trapped motorists, flooded homes and businesses began to clog up all three blue-light services.
Fire crews rushed to rescue a woman who had gone into labour and was trapped in her home by floodwater in Bishop Sutton in north Somerset, while Avon Fire crews rescued an adult and four children, who were pulled out of flood water at Winford Bridge, in Chew Magna. The same crews also pulled motorists from cars on the flooded roads nearby.
Virtually every minor road and almost all A-roads across much of Somerset and west and north Wiltshire were blocked for hours as the heavy rain ran straight off already saturated fields, filled verges and flooded roads.
At Corston in north Wiltshire, the main A429 road was blocked at Kingway Bridge, while the Radnor Arms pub in the village, which had just replaced its carpets after a flood six weeks ago, found water rushing in from the flooded road outside.
The flooding came a bit later to Swindon and east Wiltshire, but by mid-afternoon police warned of problems on many roads, particularly to the north of the town.
The emergency call-outs peaked in Somerset by late morning and between 11am and 2pm yesterday fire crews in Wiltshire had answered more than 60 calls.
The main A361 road across east Somerset and west Wiltshire was blocked in several places, including between Semington and Trowbridge, just a few miles from a spot on the A350 near Melksham which was also blocked.
As water levels rose, around 17 schools in Somerset decided to close early, or not open at all – mainly because teachers were not able to get through flooded roads to work.
The primary school in Freshford, near Bath, closed at lunchtime because teachers had to scramble to extract their cars from the rising waters in the car park, and a wall collapse nearby also threatened the safety of children.
And in North Curry, near Taunton, both the school and the post office were badly hit. The school closed all day, as a school spokesman said: "The village and roads leading in are flooded and only a couple of staff members can get in.
"Also, parents cannot get the children through the floods. It is treacherous and the rain shows no sign of easing," she added.
Spectacular scenes of a double waterfall created by torrential rain pouring through the railway tracks and through either side of an overbridge in Templecombe, Somerset, became a popular view on the video website Youtube but rail passengers could not appreciate the sight – First Great Western said that at one point seven of its lines around the West – including the main Swindon to South Wales railway, the line between Weston-super-Mare and Bristol, and the line between Bristol and Gloucester were either closed or had severe delays because of flooding.
Jason Humm, area highway manager in Gloucestershire, urged people to help unblock drains and gutters. He said: "If you're passing a drain with leaves on, kick them off or sweep them away as this will help prevent blockages, or if you see any obstructions to the standing water which can easily be solved, and it is safe, then please help out."
Homes in Woodmancote Park in Cheltenham were some of the quickest to be hit by the rising water. Resident Betty Denne, said: "It is going underneath the house and it is pouring down the side."
Yesterday's problems were largely due to run-off from the fields flooding roads, but soon the Environment Agency was warning of rivers bursting their banks – which some began to do by yesterday afternoon.
The agency issued more than 60 flood alerts and warnings for just about every river in the West, with the River Yeo in Congresbury, the River Avon in Malmesbury and the rest of north Wiltshire, and its tributary in Trowbridge the first to spill out of its banks.
Numerous events were cancelled yesterday as a result of the horrendous weather, including a Somerset county council meeting and the Christmas lights switch on in Plymouth.

Previously, I shared three ideas around marketing in an online community – I touched on content recommendations, sharing best practices and gathering customer ideas. Today, I want to spend a little time on idea four:
#4 Offer pre-sales support and training tips
Let's take a look at Texas Instruments (TI). TI's E2E (engineer-to-engineer) community is an excellent example of a community that has mastered the art of pre-sales support.
With the TI E2E community, TI's skilled engineers can support customers more efficiently. This support is available to both current and prospective customers, and enables the sales cycle by getting prospective customers the information they need at the right time. In fact, it's common for prospective customers to engage in the community to research solutions. Let's say, for instance, that a prospective customer, an engineer, is working on a design and considering different vendors. Because that engineer gets a chance to see firsthand, in the community, how other engineers have used a product - community support plays a pivotal role in the decision-making process.
Also, if someone comes to the community just looking for tips, TI has that covered too. TI blogs about technical topics and shares informative resources, such as technical diagrams, in the community. Plus, TI is modernizing technical content by putting it into video formats that are popular with young engineers and searchable on sites such as YouTube. And did I mention that the community currently hosts more than 900,000 questions and answers? Talk about a massive knowledge hub!
Hear from Aimee Kalnoskas, Worldwide Manager of Community and Social Media for TI, how community enhances customer service.
To learn more about the E2E community, check out TI's customer success story. Also, be sure to take a look at our infodoodle for more tips!

State Capitol
Court Considers Smoking Ban in Franklin
By Lauren Hallow, Frankfort State Journal
More than five years after Frankfort enacted a smoking ban, Fiscal Court is considering extending it to all of Franklin County. "There's been several citizens over the last few years that's mentioned it to me," Judge-Executive Ted Collins told The State Journal Friday. "I just finally realized that it's time for county government to step up and do their part."

Ever so often, I'm reminded that I really do love teaching because it's just so different from all other occupations. As painful as they are to organise, events like Sports Day, Annual Camps and Career Day all make the job that much more interesting and fun. And being able to witness all the excitement and camaraderie displayed by the students, one just can't help feeling a sense of satisfaction. Because at the end of the day, their smiles are an affirmation that all that shit? Was worth it.
Oh, and might I add, tug-of-war is officially the funnest sport/game ever. It's something I look forward to each year and I was completely bitter when I wasn't able to participate last year, no thanks to my official duty as an emcee. This year, I made sure I didn't miss out, so as soon as I saw that my emcee booth was well-manned by the students and my partner, I skipped down to the field to help pull my House to victory. :) Of course, I'd like to think that my being there helped us to win but truth is, we've won for 3 years running. So yeah, we may not always win the overall champion trophy, but this one is gonna be ours to own, for a long, long time.
Funny how I don't remember enjoying Sports Day as much when I was a student.

Relax people. Wouldn't it suck if it turned out that this series is just for fun? Not to mention, why are you complaining? Because it's taking too much space up in your virtual world? Give the guy a break and enjoy it for what it's worth.
"Here in my region?" Where in the hell do you live and why are you constantly on a New Orleans news site? Do you just come on here to try and get people riled up, or do you actually have a purpose?

Did we loose the f'ing game? Jesus Christ, it wasn't even close. Reggie had his first game back in a month. Our special teams needs work, but I can't see much else wrong. Bitch about a loss, but for Christ's sake, we won. Enjoy it.
What kind of person changes the channel to a documentary on an Archbishop during a Saints game?
I could argue that Mike Vick never had "it." Yes, he was an incredible athelete, but just an average quarterback. Throwing the football with prisoners I doubt improved his accuracy.
Do you remember when Mike Tyson came out of prison? It was obvious he didn't sit on his "azz." He was bigger than he'd ever been. He hasn't won a big fight since.
You don't just walk out of prison and pick up where you left off. Ask Malcolm Jenkins how tough it was to play football after 6 months off. Vick will never be the player he once was.
Really? A more talented Eagle team? He's been out of football now for 2 years. When exactly did he improve?
On a side not, everyone should really read the stories about the Bengals. Talk about incompetent.

Mortie: This could have been your wife or husband. One does not have a choice when the spouse goes "postal". It was indeed a very sad day when this happened. Those poor soles were somehow targeted and no one understands why. Their families shall suffer the loss of a loved one, forever.
I have also followed that pipe bomb. The charges were dropped, because there was no evidence linking them. Another "Dr." in the same organization, spoke about wanting to "take the train (the MBTA") and crash it on the way to Wellesley". A close view on the device (provided by the Boston Herald) shows the device. It is obvious to any intelligent person that no person in a home could have made this: (1) it is galvanized pipe, about 1.5 in., not black pipe and was not available in that area. It had to be made professionally, cut to length, and a hole drilled in it. Try that at home, it cannot be done. (2) The holes were obviously made by a drill press, not a 1/2 Craftsman drill. There are no "run" marks. It was a bothed investigation that led no where and actually let the real criminal(s) go free. The media did a number on them for the "shock and awe" journalism given such. Seldom does the truth follow the dirty deed.
The insurance for the family health, automobile and the home are paid by the grandparents. She is not included. Please take a minute when the tial starts and listen to the facts. This was not a promotion, it is tenure. I personally dislike the tenure concept as it keeps undereducated persons in public schools as teachers, but you need to read up on that and how Paul Hubbard got it in place and decide for yourself. It is a teachers "union" thing.
Mr. Weatherman, The grandparent bought he car. The other two are not running, no money to fix, The house mortgage is paid by the grandparents as are the other home expenses. The GPs also pay the school expenses. Take a walk in that family's shoes and you would be surprised. Your statement proves the media has done a job on the family when they are 100% innocent. This is a one person crime or are you smarter that an investigator like those at the Huntsville PD? From your comments, I seriously doubt it. Put your brain in motion before you put your entry on line.
People, please remember, there are many family persons involved here. We did not choose Amy, she married into the family. The children and her husband are not involved in this terrible act. Take a walk in our shoes and listen to the daily comments and questions. I have lost so much major business as a result of her, my business is about to fold. The children are hounded by brainless wonders whom open mouth and the venom flows. These children, they had no choice in whom their parents would be. Think about what would happen is the husband simply walked away and hid? Who would maintain the family? Certainly not those that wish to also make the family members guilty by association. Huntsville is blessed to have the support for the family and professional Hunstville PD Investigators. Peace. Leave the family alone.
You are 100% out in left field. They have zero income. What part of "not knowing you are talking about" do YOU not understand. The grandparents and neighbors are paying 100% of the family expenses. The media and people like you have severely harmed the entire family. The Family had no part of her actions. It could have been YOUR wife, mother or sister. Get a life and some brains.
What part of "criminal" and "illegal" do you not understand. These people delibertly set about to ILLEGALLY enter the USA. I cannot do that to Mexico or Canada, as I would be a CRIMINAL and be locked UP!!!! GET A LIFE, THIS IS NOT A CHRISTIAN THING, IT IS A Ploy TO get votes! THESE POOR PEOPLE ARE BEING used!!! I do not want to pay their way, let Mexico do that, that where they were born.
Please do not get on my case, my DAD was ILLEGAL. He LEFT and reentered the USA, applied for Citizenship and learned to SPEAK ENGLISH! Not GREEK!! There is no "Press 1 to hear this in Greek"! Or Polish, or Itialian, or whatever. they WORKed for what they earned and paid their way and did not expect free everything, courtesy of ME!!!
Toss them out on their butts.... I had to have a green card when I was in France and they are no better than I am...
WhoaBoy, sounds you and Uncle Millton are good buddies. I think you need to check on Native American rights before stating facts of law which may be incorrect. The Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs is a great place to go get the facts.
The facts are: We have forgot that an Alabama Attorney General was murdered over gambling in Phoenix City, AL. Milton has reaped illegal millions and donated a miserly few quid to keep the natives happy. It is all about greed and influence peddling. If one puts their fingers in the fire enough times, eventually, they get burned. I told my wife many moons ago this would happen when I saw was what Milton was doing in Birmingham.
Obviously, Milton has paid a lot of people who work at his mega casino tp post crap on the web. Before you post, go look at what YOU earn, and the million Milton has earned by playing the race game. He has suckered in the poor people to pay at his rip off casino and you believe you have a chance to win? Sure... If you belive that, you belive in the Easter Bunny. Milton is a 100% theif. His sore goal is to steal every dime out of your pocket. Every one of his machines is netwroked to a control room where the handlers determine who will win and the effect it will have. You do not have a prayer to win honestly. How do YOU think Larry Lankford won his millions, The toothe fairy or Uncle Milton?
The AG screwed up big time, I wonder how much was donatd to his coffers?
Oh by the way, they seized "Jim's" computer. Makes a bit difficult to post. Beam me up Scotty, I need to learn a more modern method. Computers are so obsolete. As we send data via the speed of gravity waves, sure will improve the web. Hi Maggie.
There is a legal restraining order on police comments along with lawyers and such. Let's think about a family that has to exist after Amy Bishop. Jim needs access to his facility, his computers and his scientific papers. He has not not been charged for anything, except being her husband. I guess that makes me and many others guilty of spouse related crimes. Please let's not convict him in the court of public opinion and sentence the family to doom. The kids had nothing to do with this either. Let's let the Huntsville PD do it's job as they are very qualified to do so. There is a world of difference between the botched mail bombing investigation and this case. More later when the air is clear.
This is a kin. I am NOT DR. JA nor DR J. Let's clear that first.
Jim did not lie about that report if you got past the 3rd grade and can read English, go to Page 91. "Closed". Page 1: Dated 5-25-01, "closed no potential". Page 65 and 67: "unable to tie any of the items taken in searches to the explosive devices".
Perhaps that will clear that issue. I am also viewing at this minute, a letter from her lawyer (now deceased) saying the case has been closed. Get your brain in motion before you put your butt in gear.
They are not flim flam artists, are you? It takes one to know one, as I have was told years ago. Please go read the "evidence", it you can, please. Start at the back and read forward. "cleared". There is no evidence this guy had anything to do with anything. It was a sham investigation. The Huntsville is a good PD and if Sgt. Roberts finds anything, he will pursue it. You have no right to convict anyone in the court of public opinion. THAT COULD just as easy be Y O U!!! Think.
The statement is in the ATF file, page 91, closed. Page 5-25-01, "No potential"; page 65 and 67 "unable to tie any of the items taken to the explosive device". In other words, they had no evidence and no potental to continue. They were investigating the wrong person. Please do your homework. That could be YOU or your father or your brother. It is not nice to convict people in the court of public opinion. That is why we have a constitution, one is innocent until proven guilty, do YOU want to return to he Salem witch trials and burning at the stake where all those poor people were also innocent?
I have read and reviewed this entire document and I am genrating a Word document that summarizes this investigation. Work with me, start at the back and go forward. It says on page 91: closed and later:No potential. Everything they gathered, they returned. The material did NOT match the device. In one observation, they had James walking out to the car with a coffee mug and a pack of cigarettes. He returned to the place and his mother came to the door followed by his father, per the report. The only problem is: James never smoked nor carried a coffee mug and his parents were in Alabama, 1350 miles away. Neat observation. With that bad observation, what can be believed in this report? Very little. As the report is furthur disected, a story will appear somewhere. Strange. Unbelievable.
I think you just hit the nail on the head. One of the greatest blows to anyone is loss of a job. Denying tenure actually tells a family: you are all unemployed. This entire disaster smacks of sexism where males salary continue even after murdering their wife while a female is cut without a hearing. If I remember correctly, the USA Constitution says "innocent until PROVEN guilty". The persons damaged by this are the family, not Bishop. She is fed and clothed, who will pick up the income slack for the family? The husband has been damned by the press. Think of a way the good people of Huntsville can help them get past this, educate the kids, feed them, and provide shelter. They need all the help we can give them. UAH is begining to look as if there needs to be a Grand Jury in place to determine how the provost and others REALLY manage that place, it is beginning to smell like dead fish.
Consider the family before you post negative comments. If you cannot live with that please do not post negative things about the family. They are 100% innocent victims and deserve a break.
Please reread the ATF file. Thst file should be read from the last page forward. Please refrain from calling anyone names. All blogs are not immune from prosecution for slander and there has been enough slander here to last a long time. Threats to a child are a federal crime. You can be located. Just a word of advice. The children are fine. A respected family member is taking care of them. The entire nation mourns the loss of these fine people at UAH. We in Alabama especially do so because they are our friends and neighbors. The extended Anderson family offers its sympathy to the victims families. We grieve with them. We are also victims. We must now support a family we love. We ask each and every person who posts here to think before being cruel and tasteless. Please show that Alabama citizens are respectable people. The Huntsville neighborhood has been outstanding in the support of the children. We love them for this kind and generous service. The excellent Huntsville PD will do its typical good job in seeing that justice is carried out. Let them do their job. No case, old or new, should be tried in the court of public opinion. That is why we have a constitution. Comments by amateurs relative to the old case file is a step in the wrong direction. It is obvious, most people have no idea what a case file looks like. The last few pages of the case file say (page 91) "Closed". Page 1: Dated 5-25-01, "closed no potential" and page 65 and 67: "unable to tie any of the items taken in searches to the explosive devices". All other material in the file is related to the gathering and dismissal of data. The other information is an officer's "progress notes" or such, that document each and every facet of an investigation. These notes may lead no where or may lead to a prosecution. There was no prosecution because there was no evidence they were part of the plot. The posters here are not investigators and have no right to draw conclusions on anyone based on such data. If you know more than this file, the world would love to see your facts. If you have none, leave the family alone and let them and the neighborhood live in peace. You are not the judge and jury. Peace and pray for them Sunday.

Toledo Earns MACs Top Recruiting Class for 2014-15 Signing Period
TOLEDO, OH - The Toledo women's basketball program has earned the top Mid-American Conference ranking and a No. 90 national grouping among recruiting classes for the 2014-15 early signing period, according to a report recently released by the All-Star Girls Basketball Report.
The Rockets inked six players - Jay-Ann Bravo-Harriott (London, England - Greig City Academy), Mikaela Boyd (Hillside, IL - Proviso West), Lindsay Dorr (Rogers, MN - Rogers), Nancy Kessler (St. Catherines, ONT - St. Francis Secondary), Michaela Rassmussen (Victoria, MN - Holy Name) and Jada Woody (Canton, MI - Plymouth) - during the early signing period. UT will also welcome junior Branae Harris (Marion, OH - Marion Harding), a transfer from the University of Michigan, to the mix as well. Harris is currently sitting out the 2013-14 campaign per NCAA rules.
"For Toledo, the key was the addition of Jay Ann," said ASGR analyst Bret McCormick. "That gives them seven strong recruits. Brenae (Harris) is also a shooting guard who transferred from Michigan, and then they signed four players who are over six-feet-tall."
"Bravo is a true point guard who is an intelligent, tough leader. Harris is an explosive athlete who can also hit the deep three. She should be a big scorer for Toledo. They also added some good size. Rasmussen is very skilled, can score inside with either hand and step out to the arc. Kessler is from Canada, while both Rasmussen and Dorr are from Minnesota."
The next-highest MAC schools in the ASGR are Eastern Michigan at No. 122 and Miami at No. 124, respectively.
Now in its 18th year, the All-Star Girls Report is the leader in women's basketball scouting.

BBQ Cook Off at St. Lawrence Mkt here again!
- y
- Yermum
It's that time of year again!
Friday to Sunday
re: Yermum
Uhh.. you linked to the 2003 event.
Friday, June 13th? Sound right?
OK. So this is the third thread on this event - but the most recent, so I'll post here.
Fewer participants this year - and the best from last year are back - but not necessarily as good. In fact overall quality seems lower this year. Last year's favourite (by far) was OL' CAMP 31- but not as good this year. Less smoky, more caramelized and sweeter, but no trace of the 'kick' in the finish and the meat seemed tougher. But again, served very hot. Still a good effort - my second favourite.
Also from last year, GATOR seems less exciting. The characteristic molasses tang seems more muted and again the meat was tough.
This year's winner (for me and also AmuseGirl) was BAD WOLF. Definitely smoky and tangy but the portion served seemed to be the smallest.
Again from last year BILLY BONES returned - but this year the meat was tougher (last year it was fall-off-the-bone). This was more Carolina BBQ in style with a pronounced vinegar character and an excellent spice kick at the end. Definitely top three.
Last year I was too full to try UNCLE SAM, so did get to it this year. Don't bother - very fatty meat with a bland sauce.
Also back from last year are BIBB'S - they were easily the worst last year so I skipped this year; and CRABBY'S which I also skipped (last year portion was small and sauce very tomatoey).
re: estufarian
are these all ribs you're referring to ?
and could you tell us if they were pre-sauced and, if so, what region ?
thanks. it makes all the difference to me (i prefer carolina style vinegar-based, and really don't like the pre-sauced memphis style tomato-based).
re: Nab
Yes, they were all ribs (originally was going to post on the thread headed 'ribs' - but switched to this thread as it was more recent).
As to 'style', I commented particularly on the Billy Bones as being Carolina style as it stood out from the others, which were a mixture of Kansas City (Bad Wolf) and 'Southern' - I hesitate to use Memphis as I'm not sure of the finer distinctions. Unfortunately, ALL of the presentations seemed toned down - nothing really stood out for me. And most had the sauce added towards the end of cooking (although some could also have been sauced during cooking - I suspect both Ol' Camp 31 and Bad Wolf were, and Uncle Sam didn't seem to be).
I didn't detect too much tomato this year (but skipped Crabby's which was the 'most' tomatoey last year).
I usually don't particularly like Carolina style - but the Billy Bones were pretty good flavour and probably the closest to that (but not for a purist).
But the meat everywhere was tough this year - have no idea why.
re: estufarian
thanks for the follow-up, estufarian.
i was really curious to attend this years fest, but couldn't unfortunately due to some unexpected circumstances. i'd like to see what ontario has to offer in the way of 'cue, since there does seem to be a bit of culture in certain parts (southwestern?).
not sure exactly how the fest works, but perhaps they just didn't have enough time to smoke those ribs to the point of desired tenderness (and i certainly don't mean "fall off the bone").
i'm certainly going to try these places individually, starting with the Camp since it's closest.
re: estufarian
I had the pleasure of atttending yesterday and totally disagree with all negative postings so far. In a city where decent BBQ exists nowhere except for my backyard, the St. Lawrence festiful was all that could be expected. I went with my son (1 year old) and a buddy and his daughter (6 month old). We tried ribs from 4 differnt locations and all were awesome. Some were better than others, some sweeter, some more tender but all were delicious and incredibly fresh. To add to the pleasure was the Craft Beer show which offered small glass sized samples of fresh and distinctive beers for $1.00 once you purchased a glass for $5.00. I've eaten BBQ in the southern U.S.-Was this as good? Maybe-Maybe not. Lets just recap. Major street, closed to traffic loaded with beer and deliciou BBQ. I thought I died and went to heaven. Anyone who can legitmately critisize the event and more importantly the quality of the food needs to have their head, no maybe their tastebuds examined. I will return!!
re: steve
I totally agree with everyone else and sugest when it is about 10 to 1 that maybe it is you who needs youtase buds examined. I went here based on the anticipation from the posts and had the worst ribs in my life. The frozen Presidents Choice ribs have more taste and are more tender and less greasy then anything I tried at the BBQ. (Or maybe you had a few too many of thise cheap beers). I went Friday at 8pm and every stand was out of pulled pork that my freind wanted and the ribs were so tough that the guy had to take two wacks with the cleaver to separate each rib... I should have walked away at that point but after spending $40 getting nasty ribs and some nasty chicken (forget the name of the place but the one right by the door of the Market building). I will never go back and never recomend it to anyone.
If that is what is considered award winning ribs I will stick to swiss chalet!!!
re: steve
I have to agree with Steve. I went around 6:30 pm on Friday night. Every stand had a line, except the one where the ribs looked scrawny and dried out. I stood in line with husband and 3 year old for 20 minutes at Camp 31. No pulled pork sandwiches. $19 for a rack of ribs without any sides. Sat on a concrete block amidst the pigeon poop. Ribs were okay, almost fell off the bone, pretty tasty. But I've had Swiss Chalet ribs and they were just as tender, tasty and come with sides for $20.
I considered going to get another rack from another stand, but all the lines were still long. Instead, I went to Harveys, had a burger and a comfy seat.
How come all the stands bring out the food so slowly - they're only cooking ribs and chicken. No one;s suprising them with special orders. Is the creation of the lines just for the hype?
re: db girl
"How come all the stands bring out the food so slowly - they're only cooking ribs and chicken. No one;s suprising them with special orders. Is the creation of the lines just for the hype?"
You have to wait because while the ribs and chicken are mostly cooked in the back in the smoker, they still have to be grilled up front with the sauce for a bit and there is limited grill space. Then when someone places their order, the meat is cut to order then. They do have several sizes of ribs (full, 1/2/, 1/3, 1/4) plus chicken and none can be cut ahead of time or they will dry out and have to be tossed. The lines are caused by this process since generally only 2 people are working the front and the better the food at a particular booth, the longer the line will be. I have tried several and Camp 31 is the best by far and worth the wait.
I moved up here from Alabama and the rib fests are the only time of the year I can get barbeque that lives up to my standards other than if I cook it myself. I have had the ribs at Swiss Chalet and while edible I wouldn't call them "just as tasty" by a long shot.
If you go to the other ribfests later in the summer, they have ample picnic table seating (most are in parks) so you don't have the problem of finding a seat. I was suprised at the lack of any seating (other than in the overcrowded beer garden) at the St. Lawrence event since I had only been to the others where seating was not an issue.
re: steve
I would say anybody who says Harveys or Swiss Chalet ribs are better than Camp 31 needs to have their head examined :-)
I do agree, for some reason all the booths were serving tough meat; maybe they had to get them from a common supplier from the Market who gave them the dregs? Visit the same vendors at the Rotary Ribfests over the summer months and I expect better quality. Camp 31's product was amazing both at Scarborough and in Oshawa last year (and at their restaurant in Paris) but somehow at the St.L it wasn't up to their usual high standard.
re: Texsquared
And another analogy for those who passed up on the Ribfest to go to Swiss Chalet or Harvey's. You can get a steak at Golden Griddle, with all the side dishes. You can get a steak at Ruth's Chris, with no side dishes. But ask yourself, can you honestly say the Golden Griddle steak can be compared to Ruth's?
I challenge you to take a Swiss Chalet rack of ribs down to Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Florida, or the Carolinas and say "these ribs beat anything your state has to offer". Then see what happens to you.
That's what's wrong with this town. Those of you who know me from tor.eats know what I'm talking about so I won't bore you with the same rant.
re: Texsquared
I was not talking about ribs from Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Florida, or the Carolinas I said the ribs I had at the ribfest were horrible AND those ribs that I had for the price I would have rather had swiss chalet... I do not care it the BBQ is great at other times and locations I went I spent $40 and I threw away half my food because I would not eat it. I will NEVER go back...
If you went to Ruth's Chris and and spent $50 on a steak after waiting 40miniutes in a line up and it was tough tasteless and greasy... would you go back? Even if everyone told you that Steak in the US and other locations is great? NO, but if you went to Golden Griddle at 3am after drinking all night and had a $12 steak that was cooked how you asked you would say Gee that hit the spot!
re: estufarian
Got there today after a Dim Sum lunch (scheduled before I knew about this event's date) and decided to bring home 2 racks, one from Ol' Camp 31 (as per recommendations here) and Crabby's (there was an extremely long lineup here). I didn't get to try any of the other ones but remember BIBS from last year.. really not good. I was excited about Camp 31 when I overheard something mentioning that they used to be at the Ex (where I had my best rib experience several years ago).
Correct me if I'm wrong but I wasn't very impressed at all by the texture of the meats, kind of dry for both of them. The Camp 31 sauce was great though, with just the right tang of sweetness & smokiness (I like it a bit sweeter) and a bottle was cheap for $6 - in comparison, Crabby's offered theirs for $12 per bottle.
re: estufarian
Based on last year's posts, I headed to Camp 31 on Friday evening. After a 25 minute wait, I got my ribs, beans and slaw.
For my taste, Richard and Estufarian are both being too generous. The ribs were bland and somewhat tough. They lacked both smoke and sufficient char. Overall, average at best.
The beans were cold and too sweet. The slaw was creamy and pretty good.
All in all, a lunchbox let down. Good thing there was a beer garden.
Giant BBQ fan here, but I've always been out of the city on business during the previous years' fests. Decided to hit it this year with a venegance.
I love the idea of the fest, but have to admit that nothing I ate this year knocked me out.
Went with a cohort from work first for lunch on Friday, by 11:45 there was a line of 20 waiting at Camp 31! We shared a rack of ribs and a pulled pork sandwich. Very good sandwich, nice texture and flavour to the meat. Sauce a bit sweet for my taste. (To be honest, almost every sauce I tried lacked sufficient heat and tartness.) Ribs were good and wound up being the best I had, but they lacked the fall-off-the-bone-slightly-crispy-exterior that can make you sigh with delight.
In the evening back with Chowfamily (wife, son, daughter and her boyfriend.)
Arrived 5:45. Not too crowded, but Camp 31 wasn't up and running until nearly 6:30....
Most of my feelings coincide with estufarian's astute (as always) notes:
Gator - a bit dull; not bad meat texture, but a bland sauce. Just a hint of molasses.
Billy Bones - Best sauce (Nice kick and bite), but worst meat (chewy and dry.)
Bibbs - totally pedestrian ribs, ketchupy sauce. but a good chicken breast sandwich.
Uncle Sam - an adequate pulled pork sandwich, but no more. Dullish sauce, slightly fatty meat.
And a return visit to Camp 31 proved they did the best ribs, although they once again didn't hit the heights.
We sampled the obligatory sides at most places and found Camp 31 leading with the tangiest beans and slaw. (Gator's taters were vile.)
Would we go again? Absolutely. But for the fun and fellowship rather than hoping to find superb ribs.
I'm still heading to Phil's next Sunday for Father's Day and checking to see if it's time to reorder a box of Sticky Fingers Carolina Mustard BBQ Sauce from down in Charleston again....

What do you think about couples seeing each other and doing pictures before the ceremony?
First off, I'd like to say that there is no right decision. Everyone is different and I strongly believe that weddings should reflect the character and personality of the bride and groom, even down to how they lay out the day.
Believe me, I've heard both extreme sides of the argument. One one side, I've talked with people who believe it's bad luck, wedding blasphemy and that I'm crazy for even suggesting it. On the other side of the spectrum, I've talked with people who find it old-fashioned and want nothing to do with a tradition rooted in the days where marriages were arranged and virgins were sold to old men in exchange for cows. No joke, this is where the tradition came from. Not letting the groom see the bride until the ceremony was a tactic to keep him from deciding she wasn't worth the price he was paying and backing out. Obviously, I don't think that's why anyone is carrying on the tradition today.
I definitely respect the brides I meet who have envisioned that walk down the aisle to see their groom for the first time since they were a child. But, from my perspective, as a bride, as a photographer and as someone who's seen the in's and out's of hundreds of weddings, here are a few reasons to consider seeing each other before the ceremony.
What's your opinion? How are you planning on doing it? I'd love to hear in the comments!

Swanson vs. Stephens in works for UFC Fight Night
By John Whisler : March 19, 2014 : Updated: March 19, 2014 2:42pm

SAN ANTONIO — Cub Swanson likely will meet Jeremy Stephens as the headliner of Ultimate Fighting Championship's first card in San Antonio. UFC Fight Night is set for June 28 at the AT&T Center.
The five-round, non-title match featuring the two ranked featherweight contenders has not been finalized, but a spokesman for UFC said both fighters have agreed to the bout.

Buying High Quality and Attractive Home Furniture
wayne 58 Views
Furnishing your house with high quality furniture is very important if you are looking for a fashionable contemporary image. Furniture is an investment that requires meticulous selection as it costs a significant amount of money. From your bedroom furniture, dining room furniture, to the living room furniture, your choice depicts your character and lifestyle. Some […]
Full Description
For those who can afford it, all kinds of bedroom furniture, dining room furniture and living room furniture can be bought for your home and are constructed of high quality materials. Some of the best deals can be found by searching for online furniture retailers as they do not have the high overheads of traditional retail stores. Some online stores sell several kinds of dining furniture, living room furniture and bedroom furniture that are usually constructed from the following materials: pine, oak, beech, dark wood and glass.
Furniture choice is often based on the interior design and theme of the home. For example, for a contemporary look, having a natural wood furniture collection made of oak can be very striking. Another modern trend that has recently emerged is the popularity of mirrored furniture which can make a very stylish addition to your home.
Remember to always search for quality furniture and spend as much as you can comfortably afford, as this will make an excellent investment over an extended period of time. The temptation to buy cheap furniture should be avoided if possible, as it is likely to be of poor quality and will need to be changed much sooner than higher quality furniture. Quality, elegant and durable furniture is often more affordable than you may realise due to the availability of low rate finance that allow you to spread your purchase over several years in some cases.

What a useless article. Bush visiting multiple times will never fix the damage that was done to those affected by the slow government response. And to say Blanco slowed actions by the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES is pure nonsense. By merely turning on CNN , Fox News or any news network, the President could have accessed the situation and superceded any state inactivity. Granted, President Obama should spend more time reviewing recovery efforts.However, to compare the amount of visits within President Obamas 8 months and President Bushs 3 1/2 years is just another example of the "non-story" becoming the story. And the decline of the Times Picayune continues..

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 2008 The Veterans Affairs Department has clarified its policy on assisting veterans' voter registration activities, with particular focus on inpatients and residents of VA community living centers and patients with limited access to community voter-registration resources.
State and local election officials and nonpartisan groups will be able to help officials register voters at VA hospitals and outpatient clinics as long as the visits are coordinated in advance to avoid disruptions to patient care.
"VA has always been committed to helping veterans exercise their constitutional right to vote, which they defended for all Americans while serving their nation," Veterans Affairs Secretary Dr. James B. Peake said. "We've now established a uniform approach to helping those of our patients who need assistance to register and to vote."
The policy requires that information about the right of VA patients to register and vote, and other patients' rights, be posted in every VA hospital, and that all VA patients be provided a copy of these rights when they are admitted to a VA facility.
Every VA hospital now is also required to publish a written policy on voter assistance, allowing patients to leave the hospital to register and vote, subject to the opinions of their health-care providers. Hospital officials must help patients unable to leave the facility to register and to vote by absentee ballot.
VA hospitals must establish in writing the criteria they will use to evaluate requests from outside agencies to register voters, and to determine where, when, and how such registration activities will be conducted. They also must develop procedures to coordinate offers of assistance from state and local governments and from nonpartisan organizations, and how to work with VA's Regional Counsel offices to determine whether groups offering registration help are nonpartisan, as required by law.
Voluntary service program managers at each of VA's 153 hospitals will be responsible for implementing the new policy, and for providing timely and accurate voting information to veterans cared for at their facilities, officials said. They also will obtain and maintain materials that are needed to assist veterans with voter registration requirements.

Before I go on about my relationship with food let me say that I am not a registered dietician or a nutritionist. All the following verbiage is my opinion and not to be taken as fact. If you have questions regarding diet and nutrition please contact your doctor.
My relationship with food has changed quite a bit over the past 37 years (yes I am 37 years of age) and I don't know if this relationship will ever be status quo. I enjoy eating. I have a passion for cooking. I love the idea of creating a meal that is both healthy and nutritious but also delicious.
This wasn't always the case. Food used to be something that I had to eat. Food used to be something that I craved and would always give into those cravings. As my training has changed and my body composition has changed so has my relationship with food. Today I will say that my relationship is on solid footing but we are still getting to learn about each other.
Let's start with the fact that I have moved to a plant-based diet. I am not a vegan and will probably never be one because I drink HoneyMilk and well that's milk. That will prevent me from being vegan even if I switch all my bread intake to vegan bread. All that being said the switch to a plant-based diet has been incredible for me. I did not make this switch because I watched a documentary or I am a PETA activist. In fact I made this switch as a way to test how my body responded to the elimination of meat. No other reasons were involved.
In the 1.5 months that I have not had an ounce of meat I have lost 6 lbs. I am faster, stronger, leaner and have more energy. I don't have cravings like I used to. I don't crash the way I did. My body has responded to this change. Now don't get me wrong, I am not a reformed meat eater. I do not profess that you should drop the knife and discard meat. I am just saying that it works for me. If you are eating meat, and this goes for all food, please make sure you are eating in proper portions. That is the biggest obstacle most people face.
So my relationship with food is now viewed as a fuel for my training and racing. Nutrition is no longer a word that I am scared of because it always sounded so hard. The switch was easy. The hardest part was the time it took for the first two or three visits to the grocery store. I spent hours reading labels, but now I know what I want and I can get through the store in 30 minutes.
Does this mean that my relationship won't change? Of course not. Today I learned about Heme Iron. I had no clue what that was but a friend let me know that it is found in meat and that I might want to consider eating 6-8oz of red meat a week. I haven't had red meat in about a year so that isn't going to happen, but there must be other ways to get Heme Iron into my system. As it turns out if you are eating the proper way (6-8 servings of fruits and vegetables and lots of different sources) then your body is capable of abosorbing nonheme iron and it seems converting it into heme iron. Nonheme iron absorption is significantly influenced by various food components. Meat proteins and vitamin C will improve the absorption of nonheme iron. Tannins, calcium, polyphenols, and phytates, can decrease absorption of nonheme iron. Some proteins found in soybeans also inhibit nonheme iron absorption. It is most important to include foods that enhance nonheme iron absorption when daily iron intake is less than recommended, when iron losses are high (which may occur with heavy menstrual losses), when iron requirements are high (as in pregnancy), and when only vegetarian nonheme sources of iron are consumed.
So it seems that I don't have to eat meat to get my heme iron so long as I continue to eat vitamin C, which is found in oranges, strawberries, bell peppers, broccoli, cantaloupe, papaya, kiwi, cauliflower and kale. There is no reason for me to eat meat to get my iron. Just a little research proved that I am getting enough vitamin C to help in the absorption of nonheme iron.
Food is my friend and I embrace food. I don't look at food as anything more than another apparatus on my way to greatness in marathon and triathlon training and racing. It is no different than my garmin watch or my Specialized bike. Without those two items my training would be almost impossible. Without the proper diet and nutrition training and racing would be impossible.
I am still tweaking and changing until I find that right combination, but I have to say I hope that never happens. I enjoy playing with my food. Playing with it in a way that it keeps my creativity in the kitchen flowing. Creativity in the kitchen keeps Karen and myself happy.
For example, last night I made potstickers. You may recall them from the Athlete's Plate for Beth. This time instead of just black beans and garbanzo beans I threw spinach and sweet potatoes into the food processor as well. Lots of vitamins and nutrients added. I then boiled them for a minute and into the pan they went. They got very crispy and tasted even better than the first trial.
What is your relationship with food? Do you view it as a way to cope with terrible weather? A way to get through a stressed relationship? A way to handle boredom? Is food the fuel for your training and racing and another facet to reaching greatness?

TORONTO — Dexter Fowler made a pinch-hit appearance on Tuesday in the eighth inning of a 5-2 Astros loss to the Blue Jays and said afterward he expected he will be in Astros lineup Wednesday. He took batting practice and went through a regular pre-game routine.
"Today's the first day I feel like I have some strength to do anything," Fowler said before the game. "I think (returning Wednesday) is what we're looking at. Hopefully I'll be back in there … It's just dependent on how today goes."
Fowler doesn't want to say how much weight he lost because of a stomach virus that's kept him out for five games including Tuesday's. He did, however, have a basic meal on Tuesday.
"Actually, I had my first meal today and so far it's stayed in," Fowler said. "I had some eggs. I almost ate some bacon, but I couldn't do bacon. My wife wouldn't let me."
The flight from Houston to Toronto on Monday was manageable with help of medication, and Fowler tried not to move around much. He's still on a restricted diet as he works his way back into regular foods.
Fowler has no idea how he contracted the virus.
"I don't have a clue," Fowler said. "I don't know what it was. I've never had this before. And I hope nobody else gets it."

Marvel fans,
As you may or may not know, I recently created the Superhero Championship. It's simply a bracket but for comic book teams. The Avengers have made it to the final round against the Bat Family. The Bat Family is strong; they have prep and are organized. You, Avengers fans, have been complaining about a loss before it has potentially happened or not aiding the team you love. DO YOU THINK THAT'S WHAT CAPTAIN AMERICA WOULD WANT? Do you think Steve Rogers looked at World War II and said, "That looks too hard, I don't want to go!" No! Wipe those tears, grab your shield, and GO VOTE FOR THE AVENGERS (link below)! Then when all is done, HELP SPREAD THE WORD TO MORE FANS! MAKE THIS A TIGHT RACE THAT THE GREAT STEVE ROGERS WOULD BE PROUD OF.
*This message brought to you by someone who voted for the Bat Family.

Their families have always been close (her sister Sami is his cousin afterall) and the two began dating in high school. After falling in love, Shawn helped out classmate, Jan Spears cover up her pregnancy as a result of a rape, by claiming the baby was his. His relationship with Jan would prove to have far reaching consequences, but at the moment, it ruined his relationship with Belle.
The truth about Jan's baby eventually came out and the high school sweethearts reunited. They quickly grew apart once again though when Belle lied for her mother, Marlena during the Salem Stalker mystery. Shawn took off on his motorcycle one night and seemingly disappeared. Belle was a mess after Shawn left and turned to his uncle and their mutual friend Philip Kiriakis for comfort, not knowing Shawn was actually being held captive by the above-mentioned Jan.
By the time he escaped crazy Jan, Belle and Philip had become a couple and even had sex, even though Belle and Shawn once vowed to wait until marriage. One cold evening, Belle and Shawn found themselves trapped in a barn together and took off their clothes to create some body heat. However, hypothermia set in and they didn't remember having sex together.
Belle later married Philip, and Shawn and Mimi (Belle's best friend) followed suit. Belle discovered she was pregnant and since she didn't remember having sex with Shawn assumed the baby, Claire, was Philip's. However, the truth about Shawn being the father eventually came out and Philip took off with Claire, fearing he would lose his "daughter" to Shawn. Once she got her daughter back, Belle left Philip and Shawn left Mimi after he learned she knew Claire was his all along.
While on the lam, Shawn and Belle officially reunited, eventually came to an understanding with Philip and returned to Salem. Belle and Shawn planned to marry, but Belle soon found herself drawn to her ex-husband. After the "death" of her father, John Black, Belle acted on her feelings and slept with Philip. She eventually decided Shawn was the man for her, but he found out about her affair and ended things with Belle. Claire was then kidnapped by Crystal Miller, acting on Colleen Brady's orders and Belle and Shawn patched up their relationship while in Ireland looking for their daughter.
They are now hitting the open waters with Claire, just like Shawn did when he was young with his own parents, Bo and Hope.
Over the years, Belle has been portrayed as a teenager and adult by three actresses including Kirsten Storms (Maxie, General Hospital), Charity Rahmer and most recently Martha Madison. Shawn was played by Jason Cook and until Monday, Brandon Beemer.
Even though Belle and Shawn have left Salem for now, you never know when they could return - this is a soap afterall! In the meantime, you can read more about their departure from Days of Our Lives next week in Soaps.com's exclusive interview with Martha Madison.

Student groups starts the conversationAs a community, Susquehanna has known struggle. In two years, students have seen nooses hanging in Fisher Hall and swastikas at a local synagogue, stood for Trayvon Martin among national headlines and now are struggling to understand the government shutdown.
Some of these things have passed, but the memory remains like a faded bruise upon the hearts of Crusaders. These bruises are tender to the touch. This community needs a salve for these wounds. How do we talk about these tragedies? Where does the language of moral pain come from?
Sustained Dialogue recently developed its own language for speaking about the broad issues that leave us scarred in their wake: strains due to socioeconomic status, the pressure of racial divisions, the gap in understanding different religions, parsing out the correct words for gender and sex, the struggle behind sexual orientation and the limiting effects of ability and mobility.
These conversations are fostered by a development of rules, or norms, for conversation about these bruising topics. Through showing respect for fellow dialoguers and seeking to know the soft places where the hurt lies, a kind of closure is reached.
But what about you? What about the reader? The non-member? The outcast? The silent struggler in a sea of observers? The voiceless? The Susquehanna community has seen the news. They are privy to the strains behind these topics. They sit in Evert Dining Room watching the monitors as broadcasters drill into their souls, leaving dark fingerprints on their hearts for those prejudiced against, those oppressed. They are left mute, aching for a language for their own tenderness.
The language for crisis is not easily learned. But Our Susquehanna, an offshoot of Sustained Dialogue, seeks to equip the everyday student with tools to speak without fear.
The tools are simple: remember you are dialoguing about feelings and ideas, that each individual has a valid voice, that you must respect the opinions that Susquehanna itself encourages students to develop, that you must assume good intentions and that you must hear someone out before jumping to respond. This code of ethics behind conversation becomes the bridge between one hurt and another.
More importantly, remember the importance of solidarity. Susquehanna is one community. It is a community made up of philosophers, athletes, artists, scientists, mathematicians, logicians and individuals whose black and blue hearts are burning to serve this world.
Susquehanna struggles together under these heavy blows from the outside. Susquehanna is affected together. Susquehanna has a voice. With yours, this community will become a mighty chorus rising up against the forces that seek to stifle it. Start the conversation now.

Data Entry: The File Becomes a Reality
December 8, 2010
Posted in Access Insights, indexing, metadata
In previous columns, we have discussed many of the basics of preparing the data for a computerized file. We have stressed being sure that the editorial policy and individual rules are set consistently so that the data may be easily retrieved once it is entered into that big black box called the computer. The next and very important step is computerization of the data, or converting already-computerized data to match the specifications of the hardware and software system you are going to run your file on–an exciting but exacting task. The data can be made to match your machine by using photocomposition tapes, MARC tapes, floppies, hard disks, paper, forms, catalog cards, brochures, and any number of other information sources.

Letters to the Editor, May 18
Thanks for support
The official election results from the May 6 primary are in. I'm thankful to move forward in my effort to keep my seat on the Durham District Court bench. To steal a phrase, it's said it "takes a village..." I'd like to thank those of you who are part of "my village." You are part of that village if you voted for me, supported me, spoke to others on my behalf, put up (and took down) a campaign sign, worked at the polls or otherwise lent your voice to my reelection effort!
It is humbling and challenging to be one of your district court judges. I love my job, work hard, am passionate about justice and I am particularly committed to families and children. I am well qualified for my job (the only Board Certified Specialist on the bench or in the election), and not a single of the 100s of decisions I've made has been overturned on appeal. I work for the public to ensure equal and meaningful access to our court system in family court and all of our other courts. I am an independent judge. I'm fair and I'm committed to service.
Thank you for standing with me. On to November!

Hate-riddled rant
How dare Wilma Liverpool use the constitutionally guaranteed right of free speech to spew her hate-riddled rant ("Truth shall rise up," May 14).
Liverpool's letter is the epitome of racial hatred. Yet, unsatisfied with merely revealing her own moral bankruptcy, Liverpool goes on to demonstrate to The Herald-Sun readers her ignorance of documented historical facts, such as how Africans sold their own people into slavery, and how their European ancestors sold white people into slavery.
Sadly, even elementary school math eludes Liverpool. I'm not exactly a math whiz myself, but by my calculation, the "government" her tirade references has only been in existence for 238 years, not the "300-plus years," as she claims. Liverpool's inability to do simple subtraction is probably someone else's fault, too.
It's tempting to explain how government dependence is a modern-day form of slavery, or how public housing projects such as McDougald Terrace and the former Few Gardens are among the "inhumane conditions inflicted upon [Liverpool's] people."
Such truth, I suspect, would be lost on her.

The 'parasite tax'
I am sick of the seemingly never-ending property tax increases.
Where is it written that because a person works hard and manages to buy his own home that he is forever to suffer the burden for everybody else? New parks? That's what we need, to provide additional places for drug dealers to hang out and shoot each other. I offer the American Tobacco Trail as an example of stupid spending that's become nothing but a drain on our police to try unsuccessfully to prevent teenagers and thugs from attacking joggers.
Can't afford $1.80 more a month to pick up trash? Give me a break. Why not just resort to the olden days and send around the tax collector to my house each month? You can call it what it is -- the parasite tax. Instead, increase the sales tax, then everybody pays something, including the parasites.

By ALICIA LEONARD
With the retirement of Larry Laird, assistant city manager and building director for the DeFuniak Springs city government, the restructuring of certain job titles and duties have been implemented to lay a foundation for future growth.
Whereas Laird had worn two hats in the previous job positions, Bill Holloway has assumed the position of assistant city manager and will also continue as the public works director. Some of the prior department duties that Holloway oversaw as city Public Works director, have been shifted, though still under his oversight, to a new Utilities Services Supervisor Mike Sasser. The only new face is the mix is the newly-titled Building Official Ed Joyner.
"We moved some of the duties that Bill had previously had over to Mike Sasser, so Bill could assume the duties of assistant city manager," said Kim Kirby, DeFuniak Springs city manager, "This was to spread those duties more evenly among the departments."
Kirby said this will enable the type of government that she believes citizens want. "The voters have spoken with Amendment One and want leaner government," she said.
Holloway has worked with the city for the past three years and stays busy. "It was a challenge when I took the Public Work's director position and I enjoyed every challenge it has presented," he said. "I knew it would be another challenge with this new position, but I'm learning and every day is a new day and I am enjoying it thoroughly."
Holloway's new position allows for seamless continuation of services. "Bill knows the building codes and is able to sign off on purchase orders and much more, if I am not available," said Kirby. Holloway agrees, "We have to give our citizens and customers the best level of service, no matter if someone is sick or has to be away from their job. In the utilities department, it is a 24-hour job and we all wear many different hats to make sure the level of service is always high." Mentorship is also important, said Holloway, "That's how we do in all our departments. One person mentors another in case of an absence, so service is seamless. We try to never miss a beat, if someone has to cover for someone else."
The new building official position, now held by Joyner, oversees new plans, public and commercial, that are submitted for approval before building can commence, works with the planning department for new developments, works with the public with questions over land use and building permits. Joyner has experience in construction and has been involved in the construction industry for about 30 years. "My business was mainly based in central Florida and we moved here about five years ago. I was hired about a month ago. I'm still trying to get my feet on the ground and understand my new responsibilities, since the job structure has changed, but it's coming together. I did this in another small municipality for about two years. It was almost the same job description. But it is a little different than running your own business, as I have in the past, but my past experience has allowed me to apply much of that knowledge to this job."
"Ed brings a very similar municipal experience to his position and I thought that was a positive when we interviewed him for this position. He was a good fit for the future growth that we want to accomplish," added Kirby, "and Bill has done a fantastic job for us the last three years. He came to us from CH2HILL OMI and it was just a natural fit with the Public Works department."
Holloway said it's all about the future. "We are working toward future growth and we want to be prepared when it comes and have the groundwork laid out for it," he said. "All of our employees here are great. They work very hard and do a fantastic job and take pride in their city. The employees here are the city's greatest asset." Joyner agreed, "It is a wonderful group to work with and I am looking forward to being a part of the team and helping DeFuniak Springs continue to grow."
