Islanders will keep GM Garth Snow and coach Jack Capuano
Apr 1, 2012, 4:18 PM EDT
The New York Islanders haven't made the playoffs since 2006-07, but the pieces seem to be slowly falling in place for them. John Tavares is blossoming into a legitimate star, they have found some diamond-in-the-roughs in P.A. Parenteau and Matt Moulson and turned them top-six forwards, and their supporting cast is starting to look impressive. They are still young and have a fair amount of growing left to do, but they have been making progress even if their record doesn't reflect it yet.
That's probably what team owner Charles Wang was thinking when he announced that GM Garth Snow and head coach Jack Capuano would return for the 2012-13 campaign. That might be an unpopular decision for a franchise that hasn't enjoyed a winning season for quite some time while the rival Rangers are on course to secure the top seed in the Eastern Conference, but as painful as a rebuilding process can be, it can also pay off big time.

Makes sense to stay the course with Garth as he has done a solid rebuilding job. Cappy needs to be on a short leash if he comes back next year. This team should have been better this year as the home and home sweep of the Pens reflected. What killed them was very poor October and November records (8 & 10 points respectively), coming up flat in key games later on and failing to put away teams and giving up leads late too often. If the team starts to go in the toilet again next fall, Garth should not hesitate and should be ready to make a move. Mike Haviland would be my choice.

wait…he's a GM now? wow…I'm so late…thought he was in the AHL somewhere…
- Geoff Nichols - Apr 1, 2012 at 5:49 PM
He's been the GM since he retired after 05-06

And they've made the playoffs once, with leftovers from Milbury's mess. After 6 years of rebuilding, at what point do you scrap the people at the wheel? Obviously, you'll have some good players when you are in the race for the top pick annually, that doesn't mean things are improving though.
Wang is one of the worst owners in sports, and the Islanders will remain a joke as long as they keep "staying the course"

Guess the dynasty of the Al Arbour teams is safe on Long Island.
- 4cupsinarow - Apr 1, 2012 at 7:25 PM
It's Wang who really needs to go… I respect the loyalty he has to players and his front office but it cost the Isles at least 5 years with the Milbury era. I think it's Garth who should be on the short leash and Capuano gone now. Capuano has failed time and time again to get this team motivated with important games on the line and the late game failures should be inexcusable with the players he puts on the ice in final minutes of big games with a lead. He also doesn't shorten the bench when he should and fails to see when a change in who's playing with who needs to be tweaked. For example it took him 70 games to try Bailey with players who have some skill and to see Grabner needed to be demoted. He also tends to put the slowest d-men on the same line as well as almost never plays Streit when Tavares is on the Ice instead opting for the slow no offense Eaton and Staios pair.
I just hope Snow lets Eaton, Staios, Jurcina, and Pandolpho walk and possibly find someone take Reasoner. Try to sign a real top 4 d-man( Suter ) go after Justin Schultz and give deHaan, Donovan, and Ness a real shot to make the big club. And if all goes well Strome will be playing for a shot at a Calder and just maybe Brock Nelson will stick too( if signed). I won't even comment on goalies right now… Lol.
As for the next coach I like Wilson even though he failed with the Leafs. He has a offensive system I think JT would thrive under… Sadly I'm expecting it to be another unproven guy in Doug Weight though… Although I like his fieriness behind the bench.

Nov. 18, 2008 -- Dermal fillers injected to soften facial wrinkles should carry stronger and more specific warning labels about potential adverse effects, according to an FDA advisory panel.
The panel met today in Gaithersburg, Md., to discuss many questions about the popular fillers, including such brand names as Restylane and Juvederm.
Panel members "agree that the labeling should be revised to include the more serious adverse events and how long the product has been on the market and how long it might take events to appear," says Siobhan DeLancey, an FDA spokeswoman who was at the meeting.
While the existing labels do list numerous potential side effects, they do not always list when the events might occur, and an FDA evaluation of the fillers has found that some events may show up months after the injections, she says.
The panel will make its final recommendations to the FDA, which is not bound to follow them but often does.
Industry representatives and some plastic surgeons say the stronger labels are not needed, while another expert welcomed the recommendations.
About 1.5 million dermal filler treatments are done a year in the U.S., according to statistics kept by the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
Over the past six years, the FDA has received 930 reports of adverse effects from the numerous dermal fillers approved, most of them in the last 10 years. No deaths were reported, but among the adverse effects were:
Most of the reported adverse events, according to FDA findings, involved injections in sites other than the nasolabial fold, the indication for which many fillers have approval.
A number of the reports of adverse events involved injections by untrained personnel, the FDA also found.
Besides recommending stronger labels, the panel is advising the FDA to ask manufacturers to note that some events may occur months or years after the injection, DeLancey says.
The panel didn't agree on whether the label should list adverse events for all fillers in that class, or only for the adverse events associated with a specific type of filler.
The panel also discussed how clinical studies on the dermal fillers should be done in the future and concludes that "there is no one-size-fits-all study," DeLancey says.
"Certain products seem to have more reactivity than others," she tells WebMD. The panel wants to set up a consensus panel to develop guidelines on how clinical studies should be done and formulate guidance for the industry. "A lot of the panel members say they want manufacturers to do more rigorous premarket studies."
Stronger labels are not needed, says Jonah Shacknai, CEO of Medicis in Scottsdale, Ariz., which makes the fillers Restylane and Perlane.
"We have not seen an adverse effect not reflected on our labels," he tells WebMD. In all, Medicis fillers have been used in more than 10 million treatments, he says.
Caroline VanHove, a spokeswoman for Allergan, which makes Juvederm filler, says the product "has a highly favorable safety profile" and that it's important to differentiate between the short-term and long-term fillers because they have different safety profiles.
Serious adverse events associated with the fillers are extremely rare, says Toby Mayer, MD, a facial plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, Calif.
Blaming the product, he adds, is misguided. "I think it's pilot error -- it's the surgeon or dermatologist or whomever is putting it in," he says. Adverse events are more likely to occur, Mayer says, when the fillers are used by inexperienced physicians or others. Often, he tells WebMD, an inexperienced user will not place the material where it's meant to be put: deeper into the skin.
But another plastic surgeon, Karol Gutowski, MD, chief of plastic surgery at NorthShore University Health System in Chicago, welcomed most of the recommendations. Telling consumers about side effects that might appear months after the injection is an especially good idea, he tells WebMD.
"Some of these [dermal fillers] can last only two or three months, but some injectables last three to five years. Some of us are concerned about the long-acting ones."
If the labels end up telling consumers how long the product has been on the market, he says, it should specify whether that is the U.S. market or overseas. Sometimes products have been used successfully overseas for years but are new to the U.S. market.

Breaking Down The Rookies
Kyle Ratke
Web Editorial Associate
Email / Twitter
We are a little past the halfway point in the season and we haven't broken down any of the rookies yet.
The Lynx have three on the team this season, Lindsey Moore, Sugar Rodgers and Rachel Jarry. While the success hasn't been on display at all times, this trio is learning every game and in every practice, even though the playing time isn't exactly being thrown at them like hot potatoes.
How has each player progressed during the season? Let's find out together.
PG - Lindsey Moore
Path to the Lynx: Moore came out of the University of Nebraska and the Lynx drafted her with the No. 12 overall pick in the first round in 2013.
Expectations: With Lindsay Whalen playing the point guard position, it was well-known that Moore would be learning from Whalen and would likely play very sparingly. Moore is a bit undersized, so adding size and durability was needed. Minnesota drafted Moore in hopes that she could become the next point guard for the team, and a quality bench player in year two and three.
Results: The results have been mixed so far. Moore has great passing ability and is quick, but she's had her struggles in practice as well. Head coach Cheryl Reeve, a former point guard, has sat her down a few times to explain different aspects of the game to the rookie. While she isn't getting looks with the first team in practice, it has to be beneficial seeing Whalen on a daily basis. Hopefully Moore is taking mental notes.
Stats: 14 games, 4.2 minutes per game, 0. 6 ppg, .6 apg, .4 rpg. These numbers shouldn't concern fans at all. A lot of Moore's lack of playing time has to do with the amount of talent on this team. We've seen rookies like Skylar Diggins struggle even with a lot of playing time. Next season will measure how far Moore has come.
Best game: June 21 vs. LA - 21 minutes, five points, two assists, two rebounds, 2-of-4 from the field.
G - Sugar Rodgers
Path to the Lynx: Rodgers was drafted with the No. 14 overall pick (second round) in the 2013 draft coming out of Georgetown.
Expectations: Honestly, early in camp, it didn't look like Rodgers was going to make the team. She had an injured quad early on, and never seemed to get into the swing of things with the rest of the team. Minnesota knew she could be a talented offensive player, but there was plenty of talent on the offensive side of the ball. They needed an energy player. Near the end of training camp, Rodgers made the team due to her defensive quickness and her offensive potential.
Results: The results have been pretty positive so far for Rodgers. She played very scarcely at the beginning of the season, as Reeve was trying to find her rotation. But from July 2 to July 21, Rodgers played 10 or more minutes in six out of seven games. Her offense hasn't been great, but defensively, she's been the energy player the Lynx have needed off the bench. We'll see if she can keep up the intensity. I still think Rodgers can become a 10-14 point per game player in a few years. Out of the three rookies, she's had the most success.
Stats: 20 games, nine minutes per game, 2.3 ppg, 1.8 rpg, .6 apg.
Best game: July 19 vs. San Antonio - 18 minutes, nine points, three rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block, 3-of-6 from the 3-point line.
F - Rachel Jarry
Path to the Lynx: Jarry was drafted No. 18 overall in the 2011 draft by the Atlanta Dream. The Dream traded her to the Lynx on draft day and the Lynx signed her to a contract on Feb. 11, 2013. Jarry played in the WNBL before playing in the WNBA.
Expectations: Early in camp, it didn't look like Jarry had much of a chance to make the team. Her overseas style of play looked non-physical and there were question marks on whether or not it would transfer over to the WNBA. But day-after-day in practice, Jarry impressed coaches with her effort and her ability to do whatever it took to be on the court. Reeve said Jarry "didn't pass the eye test" but her work ethic impressed everyone. Jarry has the unique experience of playing in Australia which should benefit her for the future.
Results: Jarry was the first rookie to earn big playing time, but as the season has gone along, her minutes have decreased a bit. She's been hindered lately with an ankle injury, but that shouldn't affect her too much in the future. Jarry showed what she could do in the preseason, scoring 11 points while shooting 4-for-4 in a 74-57 win over the Mystics. If she can become a spot-up 3-point shooter, the sky is the limit for her.
Stats: 17 games, 5.4 mpg, .7 ppg, .7 rpg, .6 apg.
Best game: July 21 vs. LA - five points, two rebounds, three steals, two blocks.

Re rail travel, though, it USED to be a damn sight easier, with SuperSaver, Saver and Open fares - Apex tickets were fewer - the business model was based more on the walkup fare model. It's only been after deregulation that some TOCs went down the airline-style route.
"Permitted routes" are also confusing for the passenger - esp the casual passenger. Back when it was all BR, and for a while afterwards, you had all tickets valid "via any reasonable route".

August 4, 2015
DETROIT (AP) The U.S. government's auto safety watchdog has closed an investigation into Tesla electric car battery fires after the company agreed to install more shields beneath the cars.
Tesla says the shields will prevent roadway debris from damaging batteries and possibly causing fires.
The company will retrofit Model S cars sold in the U.S. with the new shields. It sold about 22,000 through February.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the shields and raising the ride height should reduce underbody damage and fire risk. Tesla says the action is not a recall.
The company says it will add an aluminum bar, a titanium plate and another piece of aluminum. The shields are designed to ward off the type of debris that caused fires in two cars last year.

I am all for careful targeting in counterinsurgency and counter-terrorism operations. Not only is it the humane thing to do, but being accurate and precise in the application of firepower can avert civilian casualties that will only create fresh grievances and breed new insurgents. That said, there is a limit on how precise any act of war can be. Human rights organizations, which are up in arms about U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan, have unrealistic expectations that cannot be fulfilled absent a stoppage of the entire drone program–which would allow terrorists to kill ever more people and commit ever more human-rights violations.
Both Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have new reports out denouncing drone strikes for causing collateral damage, and the New York Times has weighed in with a lengthy article of its own on the supposedly awful impact of drone strikes on Miram Shah, a Pakistani frontier town that is the headquarters of the Haqqani Network, one of the most dangerous terrorist networks in the world. The Times rather melodramatically informs us:
It has become a fearful and paranoid town, dealt at least 13 drone strikes since 2008, with an additional 25 in adjoining districts — more than any other urban settlement in the world…
While the strike rate has dropped drastically in recent months, the constant presence of circling drones — and accompanying tension over when, or whom, they will strike — is a crushing psychological burden for many residents.
Sales of sleeping tablets, antidepressants and medicine to treat anxiety have soared, said Hajji Gulab Jan Dawar, a pharmacist in the town bazaar. Women were particularly troubled, he said, but men also experienced problems. "We sell them this," he said, producing a packet of pills that purported to treat erectile dysfunction under the brand name Rocket.
I wonder what 1940s residents of Dresden or Tokyo would have made of the Pakistanis' laments? German and Japanese civilians had much bigger worries than erectile dysfunction. Their cities were flattened by American bombers. Hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed–and that's even before the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagaski. A single raid, the March 9-10 firebombing of Tokyo, produced many, many times more fatalities (around 90,000 people died) than all of America's drone strikes in Pakistan combined over the last decade-plus. There is simply no comparison, given that Amnesty International is complaining "that at least 19 civilians in the surrounding area of North Waziristan had been killed in just two of the drone attacks since January 2012."
That is not an argument for going back to the crude carpet bombing of World War II days. Drone strikes are a better instrument for the War on Terror. But it is crazy to attack drone strikes for their supposed immorality when they are the most precise and therefore the most humane type of warfare ever waged.
One suspects that the critics would love for the United States to discontinue its strikes entirely. Then what?
The Times article makes clear that the Pakistani army is doing little to police Miram Shah: Although a large Pakistani military base is located in the northern part of town, "the soldiers are largely confined to their base, leaving residents to fend for themselves." The drone strikes, while not a magic bullet, are thus the only effective method to prevent the Haqqanis and their murderous ilk from entirely dominating the frontier region of Pakistan, which they use as a base for exporting terrorism to Afghanistan. Are Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International seriously arguing that it is moral to let these fundamentalist killers oppress and kill people in both Pakistan and Afghanistan, unopposed? Perhaps not, but that is the implication of their blinkered reports.

Ten Things. Okay, Eleven.
1. Marlboro Man was lifting weights the other day and his muscles were so enormous, they were crowding me out of the room.
"My gosh, honey," I exclaimed. "Your muscles are huge."
He kept on lifting, focused on his task at hand.
"They're almost as big as my muscles," I added. Clearly I needed attention.
"Yep," he agreed, and continue his lifting.
I wasn't going to let him get away with that. "You don't have to be all sarcastic about it!" I yelled.
He did not respond.
Wasn't that a beautiful story?
2. Speaking of corny jokes, one of my children told Marlboro Man and me this one:
What did one window say to the other window?
I'm in pane.
Later, when the kids were out of the room, Marlboro Man brought up the joke to me.
"It doesn't make logical sense," he said. "The glass panel is the pane. The window is not in the pane."
"Well," I answered. "It's a corny joke."
"The joke should be different," he continued.
"Okay," I said, "How should it be, my little schmoopie-pie?" I didn't really say schmoopie-pie. But I thought it.
"I think it should be 'I'm a pane.'"
Then I told him he was missing the whole point of corny jokes, and that he needs to just go lift some weights and let me watch.
That's basically what I say to Marlboro Man whenever I don't want to talk about something anymore:
"Oh, just go lift some weights and let me watch."
It's sort of the happily married version of "Go fly a kite."
I'm so glad we had this talk.
3. Please remind me next year not to plant a single piece of vegetation.
The drought this year has made me loathe gardening.
4. I can't wait for spring so I can plant my garden!
I'm already planning all the vegetables I'm going to plant.
5. Here's what I wish I was: A psychologist.
My first patient would be myself.
6. Tomorrow, there's another new episode on Food Network.
On the show, my girls and I are alone for a couple of days and we make a big girl-friendly (translation: no beef, man) pasta dish. Then Marlboro Man and the boys get home and I made bacon cheeseburgers and fries.
In case you're interested in making your own French fries at home, I offer three different methods for cutting the fries. One method is cutting them with a knife. The other method is running them through a simple cutting device. The other method is slamming them through a very scary looking contraption I found right before the show was filmed. Operating this contraption requires using force and a little anger, and I use the opportunity to get out some frustration about the time my older brother took my bike when I was little.
7. Please see #5 above.
8. Speaking of the Food Network show, my brother Mike is going to be on one of the new episodes in a few weeks.
I have a long post to write about the whole experience, which involved Mike commandeering the crew's walkie talkies and giving everyone on the set his business card. And I didn't even know he had business cards. Mike's an international man of mystery.
I'll post more about it soon.
Mike wants to have a watch party.
I hope he doesn't choose Hooters.
9. Sometimes I hear people say things like "I can't sit still" and "I get bored really easily."
I can't relate. All I want to do in life is to sit still.
I aspire to slothdom.
I think I'll start today. Wish me luck!
10. Sometimes I hear people say things like "I was so busy I forgot to eat."
I can't relate to that one either.
Have you ever forgotten to eat? If you have, can you please explain how this is possible?
Lots of love,
P.S. I forgot one more thing.
11. Thank you to Jess for posting the following joke in the comments of yesterday's post:
Why did the wise men smell like smoke?
Because they came from afar.
It's jokes like this that make life worth living.

I love #9….I think I would make a great cat. Sleep all day and then eat. What a life.
Gina D On Friday, September 7 at 12:13 pm
OMG! Melanie, I literally laughed out loud when I read your comment. My co-workers wonder why this report I'm preparing would make me laugh like this. I too would like to be a cat.
Lisa On Sunday, September 9 at 2:58 pm
My husband is very affectionate…I am not nearly as much. I call myself a cat…when I want to be petted…I'll jump in your lap and purrrrrrrrr.
Jen K On Friday, September 7 at 9:58 am
I forget to eat all the time. Then I go to use my hands for somethign and it appears I have been stricken with Parkinson's Disease (which does run in my family… so I can say that without sounding insensitive) So then I will go look in my kitchen and I am lacking one ingredient, an important one, for anything I want to eat. So I pour another mason jar of coffee and call it good.
Jenelle W. On Friday, September 7 at 2:01 pm
You've described my days exactly. Except while pregnant, then I'm a ravenous beast and you best lock up anything edible or it will be gone.
Jo On Friday, September 7 at 5:22 pm
My stance is this: I have forgotten my Father's name, I have forgotten my Mother's name, I have forgotten my children's name, I have forgotten my name, but I have NEVER, EVER forgotten to eat!
darlene On Saturday, September 8 at 6:24 pm
holy smoke … i wish there was a *like* or *love* button here like on pinterest … forgot to eat????? i'm like, whatevahhh …
AGinTO On Monday, September 10 at 1:29 pm

Corny jokes are the best!

What do you call a deer with no eyes and no legs? "Still no eye deer" : )
There is also a third line that my husband told me but it is dirty so I won't post it.

Hollie On Friday, September 7 at 10:04 am
I look forward to tomorrows episode with Mr Mike I love reading your posts about him but its because I can relate. I have a developmentally disabled brother that lives with us ( myself, my husband and my son). He functions at around 3.5 yrs of age but hes physically 47. Life is certainly never dull with him around even if at times its a bit overwhelming.. nothing like finding him sprawled in his bedroom floor digging through his pile of kids books and walking in with him repeating "I found that book like that" not just a few times but a few thousand times lol. Anyway.. what do you get when you cross a snowman with a vampire?…. frostbite. (Not just corny but a wee bit dumb, I am talented I tell ya.)
Teresia On Friday, September 7 at 1:06 pm
I don't think Mike is going to be on tomorrow's episode. But I am looking forward to seeing him soon.
Displaced Sooner On Friday, September 7 at 1:53 pm
Ree said Mike's episode would be on in a few weeks.

Your love of the "corny" is one of the reasons we all love reading your post so often. Can't wait for the new show tomorrow.
Cheryl Barker On Friday, September 7 at 11:04 am
Almost didn't get that last corny joke. Had to go way south in my mind to get "ä fire" out of "afar"
CG On Friday, September 7 at 11:15 am
Thank you Cheryl b/c I totally missed that last joke, and I am from the South!
Debbie S. On Friday, September 7 at 11:35 am
Thank you Cheryl. My brain was hurting with trying to figure it out. :$
kathleen On Friday, September 7 at 11:55 am
Heck, I thought they came from a FART! And I actually laughed out loud!!
DUH.. boy do I feel stupid!
AngAK On Friday, September 7 at 1:22 pm
wayyyyyy north here—I had to read that joke about 4 times before I got it.
JustNanny On Friday, September 7 at 4:15 pm
I didn't get it either! I tried and I tried and I tried til my little brain was shriveling up! Then along came my hubby! "Read this joke," I said, "and tell me if you get it!!!" Well, never ask a fireman such a stupid question!!! You would have thought he wrote it himself! Old poop!

Peggy H. from OK On Saturday, September 8 at 12:53 pm
I guess you have to be from Oklahoma, because I thought growing up that 'fire' was pronounced as 'far' until grade school. My parents said it that way. I still have problems with the word. Is it 'fire', one syllable or is it fi'er with two syllables???? Who started this mess?
Larita On Friday, September 7 at 10:08 am
I forget to eat on a regular basis. My kids are 2 and 1, I'm a single mom, and I groom dogs full time from home with my kids here. Doesn't leave much time for eating. You just have to busy enough… or scatterbrained enough – I can't think about more than one thing at a time.

Im glad to hear Mike is joining the show. Also ditto on that garden thing.
Terri On Friday, September 7 at 10:14 am
I actually thought MM's window joke was really good, and it made more sense.
I had to say the wise men joke out loud about five times before I got it. I don't speak southern, so it took awhile. Either that or it's too early in the morning for my brain to function properly. ;D
Johanna On Friday, September 7 at 11:00 am
Ahh, the southern accent is key there! Thanks!
Sarah M. On Friday, September 7 at 11:48 am
That does help! I didn't get it either until I spoke southern-like to myself. Thanks for the tip!
Jacqueline On Saturday, September 8 at 12:37 am
I wouldn't have gotten it either if I hadn't read somewhere that you need to do it with a southern accent.
Ree, I like MM's "I'm a pane" line.
AliciaC On Friday, September 7 at 10:14 am
Alls I can say is, "mmm french fries…" It's 9am here, I'm ready for french fries.
Meme On Friday, September 7 at 10:15 am
"I hope he doesn't choose Hooters." I about choked on my coke. I've missed your blogs regarding Mike. Hope to see more soon.
Steph On Friday, September 7 at 10:14 pm
I was wondering if Mike had been ill it had been so long since we heard about him. I think having him on the show will be fantastic.
Danielle On Friday, September 7 at 10:16 am
I have never, ever, ever forgotten to eat. I have trouble sitting still also, and I'm always busy, but never so busy that I miss a meal.
Jess D On Friday, September 7 at 10:16 am
Your posts make me smile (and laugh!). What if the window said "You're a pane" ? Can't wait to see the episode with Mike!
daisy On Friday, September 7 at 11:08 am
This is what I thought. ^ -You're a pane- would be a sweet punchline
Because, like MM, I was all, "but the window is a pane."
Heather A On Friday, September 7 at 10:19 am
I've been wondering about Mike. It's been a while since you've written about him and I was starting to worry that he wasn't well. Yay for Mike posts!
Belinda R On Friday, September 7 at 10:20 am
I had to read that last joke to my husband, because I didn't get it. And he did, thank heavens !!!
SarcasticLauren On Friday, September 7 at 10:21 am
Regarding Number 10: I'm 25 and while I haven't experience the miracle of childbirth, I have been planning my meals for the in-labor part for several years. (I'm thinking it will involve french fries)
IE: I've never forgotten to eat :-p
Christina On Friday, September 7 at 8:51 pm
Hate to be a buzzkill Lauren but they don't let you eat when you are in labor. To put in delicately, they don't want any upset stomachs while laboring. So eat all you want for nine months but once you get to the hospital, no eating!
JustNanny On Friday, September 7 at 10:36 pm
There is a code among us women, that it is okay to discuss varicose veins, heartburn, hemorroids and gasssssss during pregnancy, belching, bloating, getting stuck in chairs, and not being able to roll over in bed, or seeing your feet for five months when you look down…….however, the" not being able to eat during labor."…..I'd leave that one to the Nurse Rachet's of this world……The only thing scarier than a woman in labor, is a hungry woman in labor!!!! Or so says my husband! LOL! Nanny
Sheila H. On Friday, September 7 at 10:22 am
I must start using that "oh, go lift weights" line to my hubby. There's just something about those male arm muscles that want to make you… you know!
Rebekah On Friday, September 7 at 10:23 am
The whole forgetting to eat thing is kind of a mystery even to me and I do it often. Usually happens when my schedule looks something like this: Drink a cup of coffee when I drop the kids at school at 7:45. Come home put a load of laundry in the machine. Sit and finish my cup of coffee while I read e-mails and blogs for 45 minutes. Get dressed in workout clothes and go to the gym or go running. Come home an hour later, drink a protein shake and shower and get dressed. Do some more laundry and clean a room or two. Oh! It's 2:30 and time to go get the kids from school…I am REALLY hungry! DUH! I didn't eat any breakfast or lunch.
This is just an example. : D
Adrienne K On Friday, September 7 at 10:24 am

Lizard Jones On Friday, September 7 at 10:25 am
I don't get the wise men joke. Guess it's over my head.
Laurie in FL On Friday, September 7 at 10:30 am
You have to say it in a country accent (not Southern, just country).
Translation: They came from "a fire".
CateS On Friday, September 7 at 10:35 am
Afar…. think regional accent… for 'a fire'
Katie Lynn On Friday, September 7 at 10:49 am
I had to stew over that one too for a moment as it didn't make sense in my midwestern accent. And then I thought about where PW is and it made more sense.

Anne S. On Friday, September 7 at 4:31 pm
I forgot to eat, but not because I'm super busy…it's more of a focus thing. I'll get so wrapped up in something that time goes by, and I lose track of meal times!

Tarina On Friday, September 7 at 10:33 am
"I have a terrible pane." That should pass the "logical sense" test.
I had to read that last joke several times, and finally say it out loud, and then try it in the local accent, before getting it.

Hi PW! I love your show on Food Network. Now that you are a big and famous star, can you use your movie star influence and get the executives there to begin posting your episodes online? I would love to have access to them there.
Miss Kitty On Friday, September 7 at 10:41 am
I'm so excited to meet your brother Mike via the Food Network. He sounds like quite the character.
marilyn d. On Friday, September 7 at 10:43 am
i have finally learned the joy of sitting still. there is something zen about it. for years, i had to have a crochet hook in my hands, yarn to wind, a book to read, needlework, mending, etc,etc,etc, every time i sat down. i'm a lot older, now, i'm a lot more tired, have a hubby who's ailing (parkinson's), still work full time…but after a craniotomy a few years ago, i found it possible–and even necessary to just sit, sometimes. i'm trying to convince myself that it's practice for retirement, soon, but i believe i'm just worn down. i hear that retirement cures that, though… and today, i have a day off. i believe i'll just sit here for a little while…

Mrs. P-Dub,
I have followed your blog for years, and I think the family picture in this post is absolutely stunning. Everyone looks so beautiful/handsome…..and those sweet boys in their cowboy hats! Just thought I'd let you know that I sure hope you frame that one!
And ditto aboutt the drought. I could only grow basil this year. But I'm a little okay with that.
happy weekend,
Durante On Friday, September 7 at 10:45 am
lol, I totally agree with the slothdom; Sometimes I daydream about being bored; or at least sitting still.
I'm getting ready to plant my garden, I think I'll put in a lot of buds. One of the things I have to do to drought proof it (being in the desert) is to put in a drip system… it might not be a terrible idea, especially combined with a water collection.
Love the 11 things! Especially #2 (lol, I'm a pane)
Maria A. On Friday, September 7 at 10:45 am
I wish I had cable so I could watch your show. That would be fun, I'll bet.
Wasn't there a contest the other day giving away a mixer or something? Who won? If you edited that post with the winners, I don't see it because I pick up on your NEW entries on my Google Reader, so the old ones that I've already read don't get picked up and I don't get to see it, so I don't know who won, and if it was me I'll cry.
I'm glad we had this talk.
Who said that?
Thank you for listening.
Tarina On Friday, September 7 at 10:51 am
I use the Slick RSS extension for Chrome, and it picks up on new and edited entries.
Lady Aggie On Friday, September 7 at 10:45 am
Ree, about a year ago, I introduced my husband to your blog, TastyKitchen, your 1st cookbook, your 1st cooking show, your homeschooling section…and the list goes on. He recently told me, "That lady needs to take a break and get some rest!" LOL I couldn't agree more. I hope you do make some quality time to relax soon. You have earned a healthy dose of R&R.
Rachel On Friday, September 7 at 10:47 am
Um yeah, can't relate to number 9 and 10 either. Doing nothing is my goal in life. When my husband asks me what I want to do over the weekend I always respond "nothing!" with such enthusasim. He thinks I'm weird.
Kendra @ My Full-Thyme Life On Friday, September 7 at 10:47 am
I can't wait for Mike's episode and the accompanying post! I always love your lists and your humor! Thanks for brightening my day!

What do you call a cow with no legs?
Ground Beef
Tarina On Friday, September 7 at 2:28 pm
Just so you know, Lori, since reading this joke this morning, I have texted, IMd, and FBd it to four people, and I can't wait for my daughter to get home from school so I can tell it to her, too.
Amy L On Friday, September 7 at 4:21 pm
I was just gonna post that one! It was my daughter's favorite to tell when she was little.
Arnebya On Friday, September 7 at 10:50 am
It's not necessarily forgetting to eat for me, it's getting so busy that I go past the time of lunch, then get dizzy or lightheaded or cranky and realize it's because I haven't eaten. Time slips by (this happens more when I'm at work than at home because at home I snack all day and am responsible for making sure the kids eat so I usually am better scheduled). But, at work, I will keep telling myself I'll stop working in a few to go eat and that few will turn into hours and then I'm either ready to hurl a stapler at someone's forehead or so sluggish I need an IV and I remember oh, food'll help.
Katie Lynn On Friday, September 7 at 10:52 am
I haven't forgotten to eat, just been too lazy to go and heat up something (or make something if nothing goes together in a cohesive meal). This usually ends badly, with me standing in the kitchen around 4pm and eating pickles out of the jar and a handful of cereal or anything else I can get my hands on.
Maria Patenaude On Friday, September 7 at 10:53 am
I've definitely been so busy I've forgotten to eat. This past winter I was writing a novel and got sucked so deeply into the world in my head that I forgot to eat several times a week. I'm hypoglycemic, so this is a very bad thing. I wouldn't snap out of it until I realized I was dizzy and had a slamming headache. When I made an effort to eat more responsibly, it was so that I wouldn't get the headaches because they kept me from writing! (See #5.)
Bridget On Friday, September 7 at 10:58 am
I just spit my coffee through my nose – THANKS P.Widdy!! I had to read #11, like, 6 times before I finally "got it". THAT was funny!!!!
Susan On Friday, September 7 at 10:58 am
My stomach would never, ever, ever let me forget to eat! It is constantly hungry.
Ms Life On Monday, September 10 at 3:43 am
Same here – I am always hungry and have to have regular and filling meals. My colleague who saw me munching all the time could not believe that I did not grow bigger by the day!
Heidi G On Friday, September 7 at 11:06 am
I also have never understood when someone told me they were so busy they forgot to eat. I have never forgotten a meal in my life. Maybe I just don't get an involved in things as some people. I also can't focus on something so much that I block out those around me.
Tif On Friday, September 7 at 11:06 am
You are on a roll today…. I was laughing so hard that my husband came downstairs to see what was wrong. And it started with the picture of MMs butt…..
Glad to be able to see Mike soon. love it!
Julie On Friday, September 7 at 11:11 am
Gardens are exhausting and frustrating and I am cursing the jungle that pretends its a garden…and yet, I have seeds started for the fall crops. Must. Clean. Garden. (But it's still so hot in SC…whine…) Still, there's nothing like home grown!
Tess in TN On Friday, September 7 at 11:12 am
Continuing with the corny jokes…Why was Marlboro Man Lifting weights? He was "beefing" up! ….. with apologies to all.
Linda Perkins On Friday, September 7 at 11:17 am
Ree thanks for the chaps pictures. I love them. Keep them coming. Also love the corny jokes. Totally keep them coming. You are the best and we love your show. Can't wait for the Mike one. Have a great weekend.
Suzanne On Friday, September 7 at 11:18 am
Regarding #11…I had to read it twice to "get it". Made me LOL—very loudly! I love reading your posts and enjoy watching your show when I have time. I've recorded it to pursue at my leisure…I'm retired, I should have lots of that, but don't seem to be able to find it.
Julie from Texas On Friday, September 7 at 11:18 am
For some reason this turned me on a little….and that's not easy to do. Not sure if it was the food or Marlboro Man.
Joyce On Friday, September 7 at 11:52 am

Cathie On Friday, September 7 at 11:22 am
I always love this one for kids:
What is the biggest pencil in the world?
Donna S. On Friday, September 7 at 11:22 am
I just don't get No. 11. Truly, I don't get it. I've tried and tried … I come up empty. Would you pleeeease explain it to me? Please?
Tulip On Friday, September 7 at 11:46 am
You don't live in the south, do you? Here, "fire" is frequently pronounced "far".
Brenda Thompson On Friday, September 7 at 11:47 am
That's Southern talk for a fire!
grandmajohnnie On Friday, September 7 at 11:24 am
I can relate to so many of these. I have pondered the "forgetting to eat" comment for years and wondered what was wrong with my overweight self! When my husband ran marathons, my favorite thing to do was bike by him on his long runs (the training and his endurance amazed me) but I marveled at his backside as I biked. If I could have taken pics while maneuvering the streets with him, I'd have a lot of shots like you do of MM. Looking forward to the show tomorrow.
Donna On Friday, September 7 at 11:24 am
My husband talks about "forgetting to eat" something I never do, so I always tell him to stop bragging.
M. Vivian On Friday, September 7 at 11:24 am
I never forget to eat… ever. It's a problem. I wish they made a pill for that! Oh… they probably do, but I'm immune to anything which tries to turn me against food. Do psychologists handle these sort of problems?
Allison On Friday, September 7 at 11:26 am
I "forget" to eat all the time, though it's really not forgetting. I'm often too busy at work and when I'm under the gun to get something finished, I just don't think about eating because everything else is taking precedence.
{vicki} On Friday, September 7 at 11:27 am
This post is hilarious!
can't wait to see your brother Mike on the show—I read your book (which I LOVED by the way) and i just loved that part where he told everyone about you getting married!
anele @ Success Along the Weigh On Friday, September 7 at 11:28 am
I do the same thing with my wee lil container garden. Start off all gung ho, making tons of stuff with fresh herbs then a massive heat wave hits, I don't want to go outside and they bolt way before they should and I am dejected. But the remaining parsley and rosemary that still hang in give me hope for the following season so I start wondering what I'll plant.
Oh man I can't wait to see Mike's episode, I love your stories about him.
susan On Friday, September 7 at 11:31 am
I love those corny jokes…I am going to tell them all weekend….if I remember….love mm in his chaps..and I think all men look better in a cowboy hat (kinda likea tux)..I read your book about meeting LADD….and I loved it….but he sure seems alot more quiet then he does in the book….being married to a quiet man I know your pain…..and mine lifts weights too…..
Lady Jennie On Friday, September 7 at 11:31 am
I would like to sit all day and eat bon-bons.
mj On Friday, September 7 at 11:32 am
I am a single mommie with two little ones, a full-time job, I just started a blog, i like to jog, I try my best to date – that's a lot right – I have NEVER forgotten to eat – good gracious, before the sleep is cleaned out of my eyes – food goes into the mouth!
To each their own Food is yummy!
Monie On Friday, September 7 at 11:35 am
It's 11:30am, and it's 103 degrees outside. This is why I gave up trying to grow ANYTHING…ever. Plants don't like to literally bake or be microwaved, and I'm through feeling guilty about purchasing plants KNOWING I am taking them to their death. I'm wondering how long it would take cookie dough to bake at 103….surely it would eventually…just sayin'…the end.
Jill On Friday, September 7 at 11:37 am
How do Welsh hedgehogs make love? Caerphilly (as in carefully). It's the only joke I can remember. Corny, but it always makes me smile.
Sheltie Mom On Friday, September 7 at 11:38 am
Okay, so #11 is the best of the corny jokes. Made me laugh right out loud even with no one here to listen to the joke with me. Thanks all for sharing.
Kate On Friday, September 7 at 11:41 am
Why did Beethoven get rid of his chickens?
They kept saying Bach-Bach-Bach!

Ree, If you are a vegetarian is it ok to eat animal crackers?
Debbie Keese On Friday, September 7 at 11:43 am
Thank you for once again making me smile and laugh. It's so nice to read and laugh out loud. I love your site. As a matter of fact i have to get my best friend up here so we can go through cook book to decide what the main course is going to be for our viewing of the season premier of Sons of Anarchy we already figured out desert, the cuppa cuppa cake. We decided desert with no problem it's the main course that is hangingus up.
Lora On Friday, September 7 at 11:44 am
Here's another joke for you: What do you call a cow that's given birth? De-calf-inated.
Lynsie On Friday, September 7 at 11:45 am
I wonder how many people won't get the joke because they don't read with a thick southern accent? Funny!
Robyn On Friday, September 7 at 11:53 am
To your #9 and #10: YES! Someone gets me here. I'm lazy and perpetually snacky.
Bonnie On Friday, September 7 at 11:55 am
I.have.missed.MIKE!!!!!!! Please write about him more!! He's the BEST!!!
And Mike, Hooters is NOT an option!!!
goosefeathers On Friday, September 7 at 11:55 am
Those fries look soooooo goood right now !
I was just thinking, hey where's Mike these days and wondering if he's going to take part in one of your shows at all and then I read # 8 – looking forward to that in a few weeks.
On # 9 – in my next life I'm trading lives with one of my cats – big, sweet, fluffy Maine Coon cats who make the best of doing nothing in perfect contentment.
On # 10 – yummy food is always on my mind except when I'm side tracked by my work. I'm an artist and when I'm involved there's always that "one more thing" I need to do until I realize time got away from me and I'm h u n g r e e e e e e e .
On # 11 – I repeated that joke again and again and it wasn't making any sense. And then I remembered the rural characters in a great movie I just saw called Lawless, so I went back and said it like one of those guys. Then I LOL'd at the joke & myself.
Eve On Friday, September 7 at 11:56 am
I was married for 7 years to a man who forgot to eat. That's why we were only married for 7 years.
Allison H. On Friday, September 7 at 12:26 pm
Ba dum dum.
Barbie On Friday, September 7 at 11:58 am
It is not possible to forget to eat. People who say that are trying to impress falsely. Is there anyone who lives on a farm or ranch who does not aspire to slothdom??? It's such an impossible, over-the-rainbow dream….
midwestmom3 On Friday, September 7 at 12:00 pm
I am so glad you posted about people saying they get so busy they forget to eat. I hear people say that all the time. I have never ever forgotten to eat in all my 42 years. Never! I am already thinking about the next meal while I am eating the current one. Sheesh. How busy can people get? I don't think that it would ever be possible for me.
IndyLindy On Friday, September 7 at 12:02 pm
Okay, when I read the wise men joke it reminded me of this one that I heard from the same folks who told the wise men joke:
What does a snail say while riding on the back of a turtle?
Karen B. On Friday, September 7 at 12:06 pm
Corny jokes are so fun. But my dad is the master of one-liners. My kids' favorite is when you are driving and a big bug goes splat! on the windshield. My dad says, "Well, he won't have the guts to do that again!" Giggles for miles. A side note: we don't have cable. Is there somewhere we can get the show online? I've tried and tried but can't find it! Thanks!
Marsha On Friday, September 7 at 12:08 pm
I'm with you, I think I would actually enjoy a couple of days (or weeks) of boredom. Just sit and be still with nothing to do. Maybe then I would remember to eat. (like thats a problem.)
Lauren C On Friday, September 7 at 12:09 pm
Re: #8 – Yay Mike! We have been sorely missing Mike stories for a while. Can't wait to see him!
Re: #10 – My brain does not compute forgetting to eat. I feel sad for people who do this. I forget a great many things, but I often begin thinking right after breakfast about what I'll cook & eat for dinner that day!
Yanica On Friday, September 7 at 12:12 pm
Why are guys so technical??!! Ree, I can relate with you!! I would love to have a day with nothing I have to do – and I would most definitely not forget to eat!
Jenni On Friday, September 7 at 12:14 pm
Dear Pioneer Woman,
As a mother of 4 (including a newborn), in my moments of PURE mother craziness (which may or may not be every second), YOU can sure put a LARGE smile on my tired/wrinkled face. And I can sit here in my large Mexican moomoo and drink my chocolate milk and laugh. Thank you!
I love you and goodbye!
Gina On Friday, September 7 at 12:17 pm
Hey P-Dub..you shouldn't post pics of your hubby's butt in chaps…holy cow..gotta love a man in chaps..just saying..I have a joke..not for little ears..well you decide..what do you call a boob with no nipple? pointless…my friend told me that one..too funny..have a great weekend.;)
Chuck On Saturday, September 8 at 6:16 pm
O M G…. this one absolutely made me cackle!!!!
Emily B On Friday, September 7 at 12:21 pm
I used to roll my eyes every time I heard someone say they forgot to eat. But then one day, I was working, and working and working. A few times I thought I need to eat. Then the next thing you know it was 5:30 and guess what? I never ate. So I think "I forgot to eat" is kind of misleading. I don't think you forget as much as the window for eating closes and you miss it.
Allison H. On Friday, September 7 at 12:23 pm
Why did 6 run away from 7?
Because 7, 8, 9.
I am sure pretty much everyone on earth has heard this one, but I wanted to add my 2 cents and it's the only corny joke I know.
Dani On Friday, September 7 at 12:24 pm
I forget to eat my lunch a LOT! I don't mean too, but I'm a full time student and work part time and some semesters I don't have free time over the normal lunch hour so I will pack a sandwich or apple, something simple I can eat on my way. But then I am in such a hurry to get from one class to the next I forget, and then I sit down in class, pull out my notebook, see my sandwich, and think DANG IT! ….Someone already said it but, yes, you just have to be really busy in order to forget to eat
Andrea On Friday, September 7 at 12:33 pm
Here's a joke for you – How did Moses make tea? He-brew it!!!
thunja On Friday, September 7 at 12:39 pm
I call my husband schmoopie all the time. Your boy Todd looks a little like your brother in law Tim in this picture.
Pamela Stevens On Friday, September 7 at 12:45 pm
My son told me this joke: The daddy skunk said "my instinct tells me it is going to be a cold winter:" the mama skunk said "my instinct tells me the same thing;" the baby skunk said "my instincts too but it don't talk to me."
I loved it! He was only about 10 yrs old when he told me this. He is 33 Yrs old now.
RowdyRene On Friday, September 7 at 12:50 pm
I read #1 aloud (out loud?) to @iWof. He said, very deadpan, "I can't even begin to relate to that." I looked at him quizzically because I pester him like that all the time. Then he winked and said, "Sarcasm intended."
Natalie Cox On Friday, September 7 at 12:55 pm
what do eskimos get from sitting in the the ice too long?
ba dum chee!

Michelle On Friday, September 7 at 12:56 pm
I'm soo glad to hear you mention Mike! It has been awhile since you've written anything about him. I try to follow as much as I can and I recall him being in the hospital and then nothing really after that…I am hoping you get back into including Mike stories every now and again!
Melissa On Friday, September 7 at 1:00 pm
I too like to sit still. I would sit still all day if I could. With a giant mug of tea at all times.
And I never forget to eat. I don't understand that. I am so obsessed with eating that when I'm going to any event, the first thing I ask is "When are we going to eat?"
Kayla On Friday, September 7 at 1:01 pm
That photo of your husband's tush never gets old. Amen. =)

This cable is great, it is durable, long, and dosent buzz up the input signal. I steped all over this cable many times and still havent had a problem with it. Best part is after you unwind it after many times it doesnt kink up.
got this cable for my SG and it works great, a lot of complaints go around about the looseness of the ends, and i have to agree. i just tighten them with plyers, but don't tighten them too tight because i had to get some wires fixed in it and they couldn't get it off so yeah. other than that its great; its durable, had it almost a year and the frequency never flinches, overall, a reliable cable from a reliable name.
i bought this cable for my sg bass and my dean playmate bass and it workd awesome. exept the ends do come undone easliey and u have 2 keep tighening them which is a pain but other wise the cables are really really good.

Working to assure the continued survival of viable populations of the desert tortoise throughout its range

Don E. Swann,4 and Cecil R. Schwalbe5
1Wildlife and Fisheries Science, University of
Arizona, 125 Biological Sciences East, Tucson, AZ, 85721;
2Arizona Game and Fish Department, 2221 West Greenway Road, Phoenix, AZ, 85023;

4Saguaro National Park, 3693 South Spanish Trail, Tucson, AZ, 8573; and
5U.S. Geological Survey, Sonoran Desert Field Station, Tucson, AZ, 8572
In 2001, we studied the reproductive effort for female desert tortoises at two sites in the Sonoran Desert. We monitored female tortoises from May to October by using ultrasound and x-radiography. At Sugarloaf, 60% (9 of 15) of mature (Midline Carapace Length >220 mm) females developed eggs. None of three individuals <220 mm (187-199 mm) produced eggs. Mean clutch size was 5.3 eggs (range, 4-9). At Saguaro National Park, we monitored 14 female tortoises. Of these, 71% developed egg clutches. Mean clutch size was 6.9 eggs (range, 1-9). At both sites, ovarian follicles were observed in early May, and all clutches were deposited by August 9. We monitored two nests throughout the incubation period. One failed to hatch; the other produced 7 neonates. All neonates were small (mean mass = 12.4 g, average MCL = 36.7 mm), and most failed to survive.

(Verse 1) Come all ye loyal classmates now
In hall and campus through,
Lift up your hearts and voices
For the Royal Red and Blue
Fair Harvard has her crimson
Old Yale her colors too,
But for dear Pennsylvania
We wear the Red and Blue.
(Refrain) Hurrah, hurrah Pennsylvania!
Hurrah for the Red and the Blue!
Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, hurrah,
Hurrah for the Red and Blue!
(verses 2-5 omitted)
Hail Pennsylvania, noble and strong
To thee with loyal hearts we raise our song
Swelling to heaven loud our praises ring
Hail Pennsylvania, of thee we sing.
Majesty as a crown rest on thy brow
Pride, honor, glory, love before thee bow.
Ne'er can thy spirit die, thy walls decay
Hail Pennsylvania, of thee we pray.
Hail Pennsylvania, guide of our youth
Lead thou thy children on to light and truth.
Thee when death summons us, others shall praise
Hail Pennsylvania thro' endless days!
Cheer Pennsylvania, cheer evermore
We're here to see the Red and Blue score and score
And when we give a resounding 'Hoorrah, hoorrah'
Ever loyal to old Pennsylvania.
Drink a Highball at nightfall
Be good fellows while you may
For tomorrow may bring sorrow
So tonight, lets all be Gay!
Tell the story of Glory
Of Pennsylvania
Drink a highball And be jolly
Here's a toast to dear old Penn!
Fight on, Pennsylvania!
Put the ball across that line.
Fight you Pennsylvanians!
There it goes across this time.
Red and blue we're with you
And we're cheering for your men.
So it's fight, fight, fight Pennsylvania
Fight on for Penn!
Hail Alma Mater!
Thy sons cheer thee now.
To thee, Pennsylvania,
All rivals must bow,
Glorious forever,
Thy colors dear will be
Forever, forever
They'll wave in Victory.
Hang Jeff Davis on a sour apple tree
Down went McGinty to the bottom of the sea
She's my Annie, and I'm her Joe,
Oh, listen to my tale of
Any ice today lady?
Oh Pennsylvania!

Plans are currently underway for the 27th Annual New Castle Spring Fling. The date is Saturday, June 13. The committee is currently working on several things for the 27th Annual New Castle Spring Fling, but the economic crisis has hit us hard and we are strapped for funds to run the festivals in New Castle. The festivals are the Spring Fling, Fall Fling, and Christmas in New Castle. We need some donors to step up and sponsor our festivals. If we don't get more sponsorships, we might have to take drastic cuts in the festivals. It would be v

On Monday, March 2, the Henry County Local will formally open its doors for business at 18 South Penn Avenue in Eminence.
As we close the door at 1837 Eminence Road, we thought we'd take a look back at the paper's history.
Many Henry County residents may remember the Henry County Local's current building as a once popular hang out – the Dairy Castle.
On the prairies of eastern Kansas, the early spring is when ranchers do their annual burning to allow the new spring grass to emerge with full vigor. I used to love to watch the flickering horizon on the prairie from my front porch. But every once in awhile, the Kansas winds would pick up or shift direction so that those "controlled" fires became a potential menace.

Setting dinner on fire may not be the first metaphor to come to mind when discussing the home care of a cancer survivor, but according to Byron Crawford, it perfectly described his competence as a caregiver.
Crawford, a long time Louisville Courier-Journal columnist, helped kick off the 2009 Henry County Relay for Life.
I would like to thank Scriber Station and an awesome Sunday School group at Eminence Baptist Church for donating a meal for 20 of our seniors once a month and Eminence Christian Church for donating a meal once every 3 months. This means a lot to our Meals on Wheels program.
I want to reiterate that these donations along with any monetary donations will keep this program running. We need your help to continue to provide meals for the seniors in this community.
In the beginning, there was just one steel slitter in an 8,000 square foot warehouse. There was no crane, only a forklift.
Thanks to the Henry County Local for reporting on a very important issue pertaining to our county politics in last week's paper. As reported, it appears the momentum of the 2010 election has started and many Henry County residents and Kentucky state representatives have taken an interest in the future of Henry County and it's political status. Last meeting, Secretary of State, Trey Grayson provided information and direction at the last Henry County Republican monthly meeting.
Henry Walton Bibb was born in, or near, New Castle in 1815. Bibb was the son of Kentucky State Senator, James Bibb. He grew up to be a respected writer, editor and newspaper publisher.
It should have been a typical success story. Not so for Henry Bibb.
He was the illegitimate mulatto son of a slave and a white man born in the early 19th century. He, of course, was not acknowledged as Bibb's son and grew up a slave.
The first priority of elected officials at any level of government is making sure that they truly listen to those they serve.
With that in mind, I sent out a 17-question survey before the start of the 2009 Regular Session to gauge the views of several hundred households located in our legislative district. The results, as I expected, were enlightening.

Minnesota is under an excessive heat watch for rising temperatures that are expected to start Sunday.
The prolonged significant heat wave is expected to start Sunday and end Wednesday - with record highs in the mid-90s. The wave could move into western Wisconsin. Dew points are expected to increase into the mid- to low-60s.
As of Friday, temperatures in the metro were expected to reach 93 degrees by 1 p.m.
The heat is affecting fairgoers at the Minnesota State Fair, too. Typically, temperatures during the State Fair on average are above 90 degrees at least one day, according to KSTP.com Meteorologist Jonathan Yuhas. The hottest day was 104 degrees on Sept. 10, 1931.
This year, temperatures are expected to be above 90 degrees from Sunday through Thursday - and possibly even through next weekend depending on whether thunderstorms develop, Yuhas said. Storms could cool down temps.
The forecast so far estimates that temperatures will be above 90 degrees for at least five days at the State Fair - which would make this year one of the hottest years at the State Fair.
More information about the history of State Fair weather is available here.
The highest temps for the past three years were:
