Reed took first in the 110 hurdles at the Wildcat Invitational II, hosted by New Hampshire. The sophomore posted a time of 14.67 in the hurdles, a time that ranks in the top-10 in Maine history and qualifies him for the IC4A meet. Reed also won the 200 meters with a time of 22.60.
Simon the reigning America East champion in the javelin, placed first out of 17 competitors in the event at the Wildcat Invitational II. The senior reached a mark of 64.19 meters, a distance that would have won the 2010 America East crown. The win was the second straight in the javelin for Simon after he won the event at the Wildcat Invitational on April 9.
Walton was part of three wins at the Brown Invitational in Providence, R.I. over the weekend. The junior secured first-place finishes in the 100-meter (12.18) and 200-meter (24.82) dashes. She was also a member of a relay win for the Terriers, as the 4x100-meter relay team collected a victory.
Marrione won the women's pole vault at the Bucknell Outdoor Classic with a school-record height of 12' 5.5". That mark eclipsed the previous school-record mark of 12' 2", set by two-time NCAA Division II All-American Kate Mullins in 2001. Marrione's mark is tops in America East this spring.

Look, this place is small, crowded, and staffed by silent automaton waiters...but why the hell should that matter. Their burgers are amazing, especially considering that they are so inexpensive. Yes, you can grab a slab of ground beef on a bun at an expensive restaurant and it'll be ridiculously good...but also stupidly expensive. For the price, these are some of the sexiest burgers in town. AND, for those of you who find the wait bothersome, do what we do: pound a few $2.50 McSorley Ales and sit down with a buzz and the anticipation of a delicious meat sandwich.

Prob one of the best burgers in the city. Fries are good too. Cheap food, cheap beer but sometimes long wait even on weekdays. They dont deliver which kind of sucks. Waiters arent the friendlist bunch, but besides that the people who go there seem to be a laid back crowd.
Posted by Chris on 08/14/2006
This may have been a great burger joint at one time, but most recent experience was unpleasant. Burgers were mediocre at best. The wait was long and hot. The Bartenders were extremely rude. You get what you pay for and the price is a definite reflection of the service. Not worth it.
Posted by Anonymous on 07/18/2006
The burgers are better during the day, when it's not too crowded. But why wait in line, eat at the bar. The bartenders are the real deal. They are fast and will never leave you waiting for a drink, but be forewarned they seem instructed to suffer no fools or jerks. Funny too. The guys have NYC attitude pumping thru their veins. Where else can you get a beer and a burger for $8.00 and listen to great tunes. The jukebox rocks at night. Jazz during the day.

The Bistro Burger is still the best burger in Manhattan. The only problem is the crowds. Corner Bistro always seems to be packed so you might have to wait for service but you'll be happy when you finally eat!
Posted by Anonymous on 06/17/2006
Where else can you get beer for $2.50, a great burger and great fries. Don't come to this place for the atmosphere, you're hear to eat, drink, and get out, but the Bistro has never dissappointed. Even the grill cheese is good for the non-meat eaters.
Posted by Big T on 05/25/2006
I recently brought a Jersey buddy of mine to Corner Bistro, claiming that it was going to be the best burger he ever had. By the time we were halfway through our burgers, I was totally embarrassed by my over-hyping. We ordered our burgers medium rare and they arrived some shade of grey in the center. By the second bite, both of our burgers were crumbling to pieces. They didn't even taste good. Dry and flavorless. The frat guy crowd was also dry and flavorless.

- The acquisition of Greek case, number, and gender: a usage based approach (2007)
- Children […] growing up with highly inflected languages such as Modern Greek will frequently hear different grammatical forms of a given lexeme used in different grammatical and semantic-pragmatic contexts. In spite of the fact that the Greek noun is not as highly inflected as the verb, acquisition of nominal inflection of this inflecting-fusional language is quite complex, comprising the three categories of case, number, and gender. As is usual in this type of language, the formation of case-number forms obeys different patterns that apply to largely arbitrary classes of nominal lexemes partially based on gender. Further, frequency of the occurrence of the three gender classes and case-number forms of nouns greatly differs in spoken Greek, regarding both the types and tokens. […] [A] child learning an inflecting-fusional language like Greek must construct different inflectional patterns depending not only on parts of speech but also on subclasses within a given part of speech, such as gender classes of nouns and inflectional classes within or (exceptionally) across genders. It is therefore to be expected that the early development of case and number distinctions will apply to specific nouns and subclasses of nouns rather than the totality of Greek nouns. The two main theoretical approaches of morphological development that will be discussed in the present paper are the usage-based approach and the pre- and protomorphology approach.
- Intersentential pronominal reference in child and adult language : proceedings of the Conference on Intersentential Pronominal Reference in Child and Adult Language, December 1 - 2, 2006, Zentrum für Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft (ZAS), Berlin (2007)
- The 48th volume of the ZAS Papers in Linguistics presents selected papers from the conference on Intersentential pronominal reference in child and adult language held at the ZAS in December, 2006. The conference, organized by the project Acquisition and disambiguation of intersentential pronominal reference, brought together leading researchers dealing with anaphora resolution in diverse theoretical approaches and the acquisition perspective on pronominal reference taken by the ZAS project.
- Children's use of referring expressions : some implications for theory of mind (2007)
- This paper presents results of corpus analytic investigations of children's use of referring expressions and considers possible implications of this work for questions relating to development of theory of mind. The study confirms previous findings that children use the full range of referring forms (definite and indefinite articles, demonstrative determiners, and demonstrative and personal pronouns) appropriately by age 3 or earlier. It also provides support for two distinct stages in mind-reading ability. The first, which is implicit and non-propositional, includes the ability to assess cognitive statuses such as familiarity and focus of attention in relation to the intended referent; the second, which is propositional and more conscious, includes the ability to assess epistemic states such as knowledge and belief. Distinguishing these two stages supports attempts to reconcile seemingly inconsistent results concerning the age at which children develop theory of mind. It also makes it possible to explain why children learn to use forms correctly be-fore they exhibit the pragmatic ability to consider and calculate quantity implicatures.
- Pronouns in competition : predicting acquisition delays cross-linguistically (2007)
- It is well known that English children between the age of 4 and 6 display a so-called Delay of Principle B Effect (DPBE) in that they allow pronouns to refer to a local c-commanding antecedent. Their guessing pattern with pronouns contrasts with their adult-like interpretation of reflexives. The DPBE has been explained as resulting from a lack of pragmatic knowledge or insufficient cognitive resources. However, such extra-grammatical accounts cannot explain why the DPBE only shows up in particular languages and in particular syntactic environments. Moreover, such accounts fail to explain why the DPBE only emerges in comprehension and not in production. This paper hypothesizes that the presence or absence of the DPBE can be explained from the properties of the grammar. Fischer's (2004) optimality-theoretic analysis of binding, explaining cross-linguistic variation, and Hendriks and Spenader's (2005/6) optimality-theoretic account of the acquisition of pronouns and reflexives are combined into a single model. This model yields testable predictions with respect to the presence or absence of the DPBE in particular languages, in particular syntactic environments, and in comprehension and/or production.
- Influence of animacy and grammatical role on production and comprehension of intersentential pronouns in German L1-acquisition (2007)
- In anaphora resolution theory, it has been assumed that anaphora resolution is based on a reversed mapping of antecedent salience and anaphora complexity: minimal complex anaphora refer to maximal salient antecedents. In order to ex-amine whether and by which developmental steps German children gain command of this mapping maxim we conducted an experiment on production and comprehension of intersentential pronouns including the three pronoun types zero, personal, and demonstrative pronoun. With respect to antecedent salience, the experiment varied syntactic role (subject/object) and in/animacy. Six age groups of children (age range from 2;0 to 6;0) and an adult control group has been tested. The hypothesis arising from the mapping maxim is that zero pronoun correlates with more salient antecedents than personal and demonstrative pronoun, the latter correlating with the least salient antecedents. The results are: In production, children first establish the opposition of zero pronoun with animate antecedents vs. demonstrative pronoun with inanimate antecedents. In a next step, syntactic role comes into play and a more complex system opposing the three presented pronoun types is established. In comprehension, however, the effect of pronoun type re-mains weak and antecedent features remain a strong factor in reference choice. However, also adults employ pronoun type and antecedent features. The oldest children and the adults show variation in personal pronoun resolution according to the animacy pattern of the potential antecedents. In case of identical animacy features, the subject is the preferred candidate; in case of distinct animacy features, there is a tendency to choose the object antecedent.
- Production and comprehension of intersentential pronominal reference in early child Bulgarian : an experimental study (2007)
- The paper presents results from a combined production and comprehension study addressing some of the factors which guide the establishment of intersentential pronominal reference in child and adult Bulgarian. We investigate the time course and different stages in the acquisition of null, personal and demonstrative pro-nouns and their specific anaphoric functions. We target possible age-induced changes in the salience hierarchy of referent features such as animacy and grammatical role. Following the general consent in the field of anaphora research, we assume a division of labour between different pronominal forms with respect to the salience of their referents. Based on the data of Bulgarian preschool children we investigate the validity of this form-function relation, its language-specific shape and its developmentally induced variation. The results reveal an initial prominence of animate referents which later on develops into preference for animate subjects. Although the investigated 3 to 5 year old Bulgarian children do not stick to the adult anaphora resolution strategy, they comply with the principle of the reversed mapping within the range of tested pronouns and react according to their salience criteria which promote animate subjects as the most prominent co-reference candidates.
- Noun phrases, pronouns and anaphoric reference in young children narratives (2007)
- This paper deals with the development of discourse competence in German-, Russian- and Bulgarian-speaking children. In particular, it examines the use of anaphoric pronominal reference in elicited narrations of children between the ages of 2;6 and 6;0. As the pronominal (and nominal) systems of target German, Russian and Bulgarian differ in the repertoire and functions of anaphoric elements we will examine which kind of noun phrases children use to make reference to story participants. In a second step of the analysis, we will investigate how pronominal expressions relate to antecedents. In this respect the pronominal form of the anaphor, the syntactic function of the antecedent and the distance between antecedent and anaphor will be analyzed. The findings will be discussed with regard to predictions made by proposals such as the Complementary Hypothesis (Bosch, Rozario, and Zhao 2003) which assumes an asymmetry between the use of personal pro-nouns and demonstrative pronouns when referring back to subject or object antecedents.

i loved it but it died
By The sad cooker
from alberta
I bought my pressure cooker about 11 months ago. I loved it as everything tasted so good. Plugged it in the other day and it wouldn't heat up at all. What a disappointment. I ordered a different brand from the shopping channel and I hope I have better luck next time.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Best Appliance l own
By Lorean
from Cambridge, Ontario
I bought my pressure cooker in March 2013, first one lve ever owned and its sensational to say the least.Everything lve cooked in it makes me look lm a good cook!(and lm not btw). l work long hours and can come home take food out of the freezer and be eating a home cooked meal in an hour.lve noticed lately that it doesnt pressurize, liquids burn in the bottom and you can open the lid while cooking without letting steam release. l called cuizen canada, they walked me through what could be wrong and are sending me a new one..without proof of purchase? Very helpful and courteous company to deal with.
Too heavy, but works well
By Janny
from Toronto, Ontario
Like other reviewers I was very surprised by the weight and actual size of the pressure cooker. It didn't seem as large on TV! However, that aside, it works very well after about 6 uses so far. I've made two batches of ribs, a wonderful beef burgundy, and stew. I have not tried the slow cooker setting but expect it to be equally as good. The ribs were fall-apart tender, just like on TV. It's far too big to keep on my counter so I have to store it in the basement and bring it up to cook - but it is worth the effort. I'm sure that over the winter I will make many "comfort foods" in it and I plan to look for a good recipe book as the little one with the appliance is too skimpy. I would recommend this appliance.
By Acadia
from Winnipeg (Manitoba)
Previously I said that it was very heavy and that I couldn't get it out of the box. I got someone to help me get it unpacked and found a place for it on my kitchen island.I have to say that it works very well once you get it to pressurize. For some things it takes quite a long time (sometimes 30 minutes or more) to build up the pressure. I also have difficulty getting it to pressurize at times. You have to be very careful about the amount of food or liquid that you put in. 1/2 for food. 2/3 full for liquid.Even a bit over the 1/2 way point for food, will prevent it from building up pressure and will cauase steam to escape all around the lid.Given how you can only put so much into the pot before it won't pressurize, I can't help to wonder how on TV they can demo so many lobsters and corn in the cooker.There are some issues, but overall it is a pretty good machine. I've been enjoying rapid cooking and pretty much have been cooking all of my meals in it since I started using it.
By Sunshine
from Calgary
I have used this product a couple of times now, and have loved the results! I can hardly wait for the holiday season...bring it on!
So far has been great
By Brenda
from Calgary, AB
Have used it a few time as a slow cooker and it has been great. Meat has been tender and ribs are fall off the bone. As other reviews would like more recipes.
Too Heavy
I just got this item and I can't get it out of the box; it's too heavy. The box says "27.2 pounds." You either have to have counter space to keep this on all of the time, or a strong back if you have to store it away from your kitchen and bring it out when you want to use it. Not sure at this point if I'm going to struggle to get it out of the box. They need to post the weight of this unit on the page it is sold.
One of my best TSC purchases!
By MARY ANN
from VANCOUVER
I was a little unsure about this purchase but intrigued by 5 star reviews from other TSC shoppers. If you grew up with a stove top pressure cooker, like I did, this is completely different. Very little odour, noise and heat. It is fun and exciting (never thought I would be describing cooking that way) to see how your recipe has turned out when you lift the lid! I highly recommend Bob Warden's "Great Food Fast" for spectacular recipes that are designed for this type of pressure cooker.
Love it !!!!!!!!!!!!
By Cheryl
from Kamloops BC
We just love this cooker. It works just like they said it would. I've cooked about 6 times with it now and like the way you can thicken sauces or gravy with the steam feature. I've also canned with it as I only had a couple jars to do which didn't fit in my large pressure canner batch.It did the job just like a larger pressure canner, so nice I had three canners running at once. The cooker saves so much time for us. Only one time I tried cooking frozen chicken breasts 4 at a time and one of the breasts was not cooked enough. I believe it was a thicker chunk of meat and being frozen affected the cooking time. The browning feature is so cool to brown meat or fry the onions and garlic first. The only compliant I have is that the recipe book is too small. It would be nice to give us more ideas for cooking and how other people mentioned the lack of instruction on how to pressure can with it.

2. A sewing machine or a thread and needle
3. small felt peices or buttons for eyes
4. a felt mouth
5. A hot glue gun
Step 2: Beanbag monster
sew or hot glue the eyes and mouth on
Sorry I don't have a picture for this step, I kept mine as a regular beanbag, and if I can edit this after it is published, I might make a second beanbag and make it a beanbag monster.
Step 3: Start to sew!
a) sew the face on the inside and make the sides look neat or
b) Sew the face facing out and make the edges look a little messier
For chias or regular beanbags:
Sew three sides of the beanbag and then turn it inside out or leave it right side in if you want the outside edges to look messy.
Step 4: Fill it in with beans
Just make it to the squishiness you want : ]

- The painful phase with headache and sensitivity to lights, noises, and smells
- The post-headache hangover-like postdrome

Around about the time of the last Beastie Boys album, every hipster with a hard-on was sporting a "Free Tibet" T-shirt. Guess what? Tibet still needs freeing. Tonight at the Hi-Pointe Theater (1005 McCausland Avenue, 314-995-6273), Blue Beryl Dharma Center sponsors a benefit screening of Tom Peosay's new documentary Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion, which depicts the compassionate and loving (yet no less determined) spirit of the Tibetan people in the face of their Chinese oppressors. Prior to the movie is Happiness Hour, with Tibetan food (and samples of mysteriously and intriguingly named "Tibetan butter tea") and music, plus guest speaker Lama Lobsang Palden Rinpoche. Tickets are $15 in advance (available by calling 314-761-9642) or $20 at the door. Go on; the Beastie Boys would be proud of ya.

We had a relaxing holiday. What a great place to stay. We both enjoyed room we were in.The Coomella Club was close to all the tourist places we wanted to see. We would go back because value for money and the friendly staff.
We stayed here for a 3 night stay purchased from travel auctions. We didn't expect a lot, so we where pleasantly surprised by a lovely modern room, with everything you could want. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of pillows to choose from. My husband played golf at the club and enjoyed his game and the friendly people. We ate at the club which is a very short walk and have great meals and snacks. Thank you Coomealla resort for a great stay and we will be back.
Having had the experience of a really great 4 days stay at the club it would be nice to come again.
Probably the best value for money when it comes to holidaying in Sunraysia. Tom & Nanette are warm and wonderful hosts and the staff that service your room whilst you are out enjoying the sites are also polite. When you return to your room you can tell they have put in 100% to ensure your room is clean and fresh. The Coomealla Club is brilliant and their restaurant is warm, fresh and modern and the meals are to die for.....truly enjoyable! We have continued to go back to the Coomealla Resort simply because of the friendly people and value for money you get when visiting this part of Sunraysia.

MUSCATATUCK URBAN TRAINING CENTER, Ind., March 19, 2010 Patriot Academy, the military's first accredited high school, graduated its first class here yesterday.
The program provides youth with an opportunity to earn their high school diploma, join the Army National Guard and contribute to their community.
After a year of planning, the vision of retired Army Lt. Gen. Clyde Vaughn, former director of the Army National Guard, to turn high school dropouts into student-soldiers became reality in June with the funding and support of the National Guard Bureau.
"This is about the young men and women who will have a second chance," said Army Maj. Gen. Raymond Carpenter, acting director of the Army National Guard, on the program's opening day in August. "Our mission at the Patriot Academy, very simply, is to educate and train these young men to become the best citizen-soldiers in the Army National Guard."
Students of the Patriot Academy come here after completing Army basic training. They continue to collect active-duty pay, taking classes to earn their high school diploma, while simultaneously honing their military skills before graduating and shipping out to learn their military job.
"It's really a good opportunity," said Army Sgt. 1st Class William Long, an instructor and assistant platoon sergeant. "The average National Guard soldier drills one weekend a month, two weeks a year. These guys do almost a year of active duty before they meet their unit. These guys are going to have a better head start to that."
Additionally, the course is designed to prepare the student-soldiers to contribute to society.
"There were three objectives when they came here," said Patriot Academy Commandant Army Col. Perry Sarver. "First one, of course, was to get their high school diploma. Second was to expand on their military skills that they learned in basic training, and finally, they provide eight hours of community service in and around the Jennings County area."
The program was implemented during a "dropout crisis" in America, as over 1.2 million students, equating to 7,000 per school day, either drop out or do not earn their high school diploma, according to the Alliance for Excellent Education.
"There's hundreds of thousands of young men and women who have not achieved their high school diploma, and the Army National Guard provides these young men and women an opportunity to do that," Sarver said.
Today's graduating class consisted of 38 of the original 47 student-soldiers from 16 states who started the course. They will return to their respective states' National Guard after receiving military occupational training.
Plans are under way for the program's growth. "We are trying to diversify our next class," Sarver said. "What we want to do is grow our enrollment from 47 from this past year to try to graduate 300 men and women from the 54 states and territories."
The graduates' families, command sergeants major and recruiters attended the graduation ceremony to show their support. The class valedictorian said his newly earned high school diploma was a new beginning for him.
"It's a great opportunity to be here," said Pvt. Mario Guillen of the Texas Army National Guard. "I hope to make the best of it. Before I came into the Patriot Academy, I worked for a low salary. [The course] has changed my life. I can pass the obstacles that I have in front of me. Now I have a better view of my future because of the education I got here." Guillen will move on to Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., to for truck driver training.
Fellow student Pfc. Scott Mix of Fort Wayne, Ind., said he came to the program to better himself by getting his high school diploma to expand his opportunities and horizons.
"It's been an adventure," he said. "A lot of military training and a lot of schooling and [physical training], but it was definitely worth it."
Mix said he did not have enough credits to graduate from high school with his class, and wanted to earn more than a general education diploma. He went to an Army National Guard recruiter and joined the Patriot Academy at age 18.
"I definitely grew up a lot," he said. "My maturity level has increased an awful lot. I was getting into a lot of trouble, and I wasn't staying focused. Since I came here, everything is more straight-edged and disciplined. Everything is always business. My whole mentality has changed. I'm definitely a lot more focused now."
Mix's mother said she couldn't agree more.
"He is a lot more disciplined," Christa Wilfong said. "I've noticed he has a lot more respect for others. He seems to really be looking toward the future instead of just living for the day. He is setting a lot more goals."
As the first graduating class packs its bags, including their newly achieved high school diplomas, the instructors, commanders and creators of the Patriot Academy stay committed to taking lost or misguided potential and molding it into positive contributions to society.
"They get a chance for a do-over," Sarver said. "Society has given up on some of these young people for whatever reason, and they were led to believe that they would never achieve their high school diploma.
"When they first came in, back in June and July, they were lacking the focus," he continued. "They were lacking the confidence. When they leave here they believe they can accomplish anything in their lives. When they leave here, they will be a more mature adult to assume their role in society as they get back home."

It's been six or seven years since I've visited my friends at Phoenix Phyre and I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to share Ostara with them this year.
The weather has been absolutely glorious coming into the festival with a few very light quick-passing showers that we all expected in spring. While they are cooling, it doesn't seem to raise the humidity.
Long travels are difficult for me with my current pain issues, but I was blessed with wonderful friends who let me spend the night prior to festival in their home and had the opportunity to recover a bit from the drive up from South Florida. In the morning, it was a short one hour or so drive out of Orlando over to Lakeland.
I have to admit that we got turned around a few times locating the festival, but realized as soon as we got here that it was obviously the result of our pagan wandering ways and not the location that was the issue. The location was, in fact, very easy to locate and, as the Lakeland area is the hub for several Florida industries, you can occasionally hear the sound of trains in the distance, but it only adds to the ambience of the festival and reminds me of younger days spent in the Lakeland area. Don't worry, though! I'm not going to start meandering into bygone days.
The location has the benefit of being rural with a rustic feel with all the conveniences (Publix and Walgreens) within three miles of the front gate so minimal time was spent on the first day acquiring essentials. We brought two of our children camping this time and had to travel very light due to space restrictions, and it was a blessing that we could quickly go shopping and return to camp with minimal interruption to our wonderful camping experience.
Our gathering tribe,The Abyss, arrived in fine fashion and was warmly greeted by our longstanding friend, Druydess, whom we haven't been able to visit recently due to my health issues. So, it was a real treat to have side-by-side camp sites with her and all her wonderful people. I extend extra gratitude for the help in getting set up and organized, as well as the communal dining area we share between our two tribes.
I personally have never tried to rank one festival, rite, circle, or tradition as being "better" than other. I feel they all have their place in our Community and diversity is quite essential to the expansion of our Community with opportunities for education and experience in a manner that appeals to different tastes and approaches. As for me, I personally try to visit a variety of festivals and gatherings mostly to reestablish and revitalize longstanding friendships.
One of the things, I've always liked best about Phoenix Phyre is that I always have an opportunity to revitalize those longstanding friendships in the Community as many Elders in the Community from Georgia as well as Florida can often be found at Phoenix Phyre. When I say Elders, don't make the mistake of thinking it means that this is where all the old folks come. There's a wide variety of ages and having so many Elders sharing a festival is truly a blessing for the Community. Newcomers to Paganism and Wicca have the opportunity to sit down with established Elders from a wide variety of traditions and experiences and share thoughts in a very warm and open environment in which the Elders are "deepening" their own faith. It is and has been a very strong spiritual and faith driven retreat.
While there are plenty of spiritual activities and workshops, don't expect a bunch of solemn people at this festival. There's also the drinking, cavorting, and rambunctious partying as with any gathering, which I can well attest lasted into the wee hours this morning. Unfortunately, due to my new meds and being tired from travelling, I had to turn in rather early as I usually do on first days. Tonight, however, I'm sure to be found in the midst of mischief as I embrace my inner Mead Muse.
This made opening ritual last night especially magickal. Unfortunately, I was sidelined after so much time in the car, but it is always a blessing to see many Elders from many traditions working together. I think all Pagans and Wiccans need to experience Elder circles at some point to really appreciate the intensity and precision of the workings. The ritual was extremely well led and organized by my longstanding friend, Druydess, and our new friend, Drew. We all are extremely impressed and grateful for the extended protection that was established for the retreat area during the timing of the festival.
Once the lighting of the main fire began, one of my event photographers started getting some pictures as I intended to pick just one photo to share on the website. As we reviewed them afterwards, it was interesting to realize that a portion I magickally witnessed with the Sight during the lighting ceremony actually showed up in the photos — the Phoenix answered the call of the Phoenix Mystics and rose from the first flames.
So as I am keeping company with the beautiful horses in the next pasture during the sunrise this morning, I realize it is impossible to pick just one photo, so I'm going to share several of the photos.
During the festival, I'm not sure when I will be able to head out to grab some WiFi and post, so posting times will not be consistent, but I will try my best to share PP with you all on a daily basis, so be sure to stop by and enjoy the experience of a gathering vicariously through me if you aren't able to get out for Ostara rites this Spring.
Muwah! Mead Muse

Cancer experts are wary of a new study that links psychosocial interventions with improved survival in breast cancer.
The study, published in Clinical Cancer Research, found a 59% reduced risk of dying from recurrent breast cancer among women involved in such interventions.
But researchers warn that the study was small, and touts questionable effects on the immune system.
"I'm concerned because I think it's really misleading to breast cancer patients," said James Coyne, PhD, professor of psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania and co-leader of the Abramson Cancer Center Cancer Control and Outcomes program, who was not involved in the study... read more

Eating Out
Is your kid good in a restaurant?
I think our 2 1/2 year old is generally okay, depending on the lag time--burger place better than nicer joint. You often have to break out the crayons, which is cool, and sometimes he's fidgety which is alright. It's when he starts annoying others that it gets annoying. It's certainly not like it was--but that's being a parent.
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!

Fiqh of Ramadan in Detail
- 1 Prescribed Fasting: Details of the Fiqh
- 2 from al-Fiqh `alal-madhahib al-Arba`ah
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
"O who believe, fasting is decreed for you as it was decreed for those before you; perchance you will guard yourselves. (2:183)
Prescribed Fasting: Details of the Fiqh
from al-Fiqh `alal-madhahib al-Arba`ah
by the Azhari scholar Shaykh `Abd al-Rahman al-Jaziri (1882-1941)
1. Introduction
Prescribed fasting in the month of Ramadan is one of the pillars of the Islamic faith. No proof is required to establish its being obligatory and one denying it goes out of the fold of Islam, because it is obvious like the prescribed prayer, and in respect of anything so evidently established both the learned and the unlettered, the elderly and the young, all stand on an equal footing. It was declared an obligatory duty (fard) in the second year of the Hijrah upon each and every one capable of carrying out religious duties, i.e. a sane adult (mukallaf) and breaking it is not permissible except for any of the following reasons:
1.1. Menstruation and bleeding following childbirth
The schools concur that fasting is not valid for women during menstruation and bleeding following childbirth.
1.2. Illness
The Hanafi, Hanbali, Shafi`i and Maliki schools state that if one who is fasting (saim) falls ill, or fears the aggravation of his illness, or delay in recovery, he or she has the option to fast or refrain. Fasting is not incumbent upon that person. It is a relaxation and not an obligation in this situation. But where there is likelihood of death or loss of any of the senses, it is obligatory for the person not to fast and his fasting is not valid.
1. A Woman in the Final Stage of Pregnancy and Nursing Mothers
The Hanafi, Hanbali, Shafi`i and Maliki schools say that if a pregnant or nursing woman fears harm for her own health or that of her child, her fasting is valid though it is permissible for her to refrain from fasting. If she opts for not fasting, the schools concur that she is bound to perform its missed days later. They differ regarding its substitute (fidyah) and atonement (kaffarah). In this regard the Hanafis observe that it is not at all obligatory. The Malikis are of the opinion that it is obligatory for a nursing woman, not for a pregnant one. The Hanbalis and the Shafi`is say that giving the substitute is obligatory upon a pregnant and a nursing woman only if they fear danger for the child, but if they fear harm for their own health as well as that of the child, they are bound to perform the fasts missed only without being required to give a substitute. The substitute for each day is the feeding of one needy person (one mudd), which amounts to feeding one destitute person (miskin).1
1.4. Travel
All four: the Hanafi, Hanbali, Shafi`i and Maliki schools add a further condition to these, which is that the journey should commence before dawn and the traveler should have reached the point from where the prescribed prayer becomes overdue before dawn. Hence if he or she commences the journey after the setting in of dawn, it is unlawful for him or her to break the fast, and if he or she breaks it, its making up for will be obligatory upon him or her without an atonement (kaffarah). The Shafi`is add another condition, which is that the traveler should not be one who generally travels continuously, such as a driver. Thus if he travels habitually, he is not entitled to break the fast. In the opinion of all four of the schools, breaking the fast is optional and not compulsory. Therefore, a traveler who fulfills all the conditions has the option of fasting or not fasting. This is despite the observation of the Hanafis that performing the prescribed prayer as the shortened form during journey is compulsory and not optional.
1.5. Acute Thirst
There is consensus among all the schools that one suffering from a malady of acute thirst can break his fast, and if that person can carry out the missed fasts later, it will be obligatory upon him or her without any atonement, in the opinion of the Hanafi, Hanbali, Shafi`i and Maliki schools. The schools differ in regard to acute hunger, as to whether it is one of the causes permitting breaking the fast, like thirst. The Hanafi, Hanbali, Shafi`i and Maliki schools say that hunger and thirst are similar and both make breaking the fast permissible.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Auburn defensive tackle Nick Fairley drove his helmet into Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray's back. He shoved his face mask into Murray's chin, leaving him bloody, and later rammed himself into Murray's exposed knee.
Fairley's play against the Bulldogs on Nov. 13 has added a stain to an otherwise remarkable season. A decent defensive tackle last season, Fairley, a junior, has emerged as a probable top-10 pick in April's NFL Draft, if he chooses to leave school early.
But debate about his actions in the Georgia game has followed him tp Scottsdale, where Auburn prepares to face Oregon in Monday night's BCS National Championship Game. Fairley suggests the performance was no more malicious than how he played 12 other games this season. Critics contend he deserved several personal foul penalties and should have drawn a suspension from the SEC.
So, what about it, Nick? Are you a dirty player?
"I'm a hard worker," Fairley said Friday. "I'm ready to go. The motor is always running."
At least one Oregon player has a different take. Ducks quarterback Darron Thomas watched film of Auburn-Georgia during title-game preparation. He stopped short of calling Fairley a dirty player but suggested some of Fairley's actions weren't welcome.
"Oh, yeah, we've seen he's got a lot of dirty plays," Thomas said. "Throwing people around after the play and things like that. But that's just football."
Thomas and his offense, along with Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton and the Auburn attack, have moved to the center ring in this game's buildup. Even the teams' defensive coordinators wonder how their guys will stop two of college football's most proficient offenses.
Fairley, though, might be the biggest threat to a 50-49 national title game. The strength and quickness that excites talent evaluators have also changed games since early September.
The nation learned of Fairley on a Thursday night in September at Mississippi State. He dominated the Bulldogs up front, finishing with an interception, a fumble recovery and a sack-and-a-half. His two turnovers led to 10 Auburn points and they Tigers won by a field goal.
By year's end, he led the SEC in sacks and tackles for loss, also collecting 21 hurries.
"He can be a destructive force," Auburn coach Gene Chizik said. "There's no question about it."
Now, Fairley stands at the center of Oregon's offensive game plan. The Ducks' smallish offense line, especially center Jordan Holmes, must prevent Fairley from disrupting Thomas and his backs behind the line of scrimmage.
Fairley, though, must also handle Oregon. The Ducks aim to snap the ball 10 to 13 seconds after the previous play, among the fastest in the country. The strategy gives a defense few chances to adjust and recover.
Fairley's listed 6-5, 298-pound frame makes those circumstances extra tough. Asked what he could do between plays to be ready, he said, "Catch your breath," a response that drew laughter from his audience.
Fairley is better known for actions far less funny. His aggression Monday night could swing two ways -- intimidate and slow the Ducks, or damage the Tigers with 15-yard penalties.
Either way, the big, bad man in the middle figures to help determine whether his breakout season ends with a national championship.

Along Colorado's Fabled South Platte River
Greetings from Scott and Grant Peck…
The Bailey Lodge is under new ownership and has been undergoing a comprehensive remodeling over the past year.
Update April 3st, 2015
NOTICE: We DO have limited availability up to May 15th.
In the meantime our remodeling has been slow but steady as our plan to transform the lodge progresses. We are in for a long project as we have expanded the scope of what we are doing while we will be largely shutting down inside work on the lodge for the 2015 season from May to October. We are scrambling at the moment to get everything presently underway cleaned up before all of you start to show up.
We are not automated with aspects of inquiry, booking and confirmation just yet so please bear with us with the process. Website, forms, logo and all are still in the design stage.
RATES MAY 15TH THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30TH 2015: In season, original, un-remodeled "Bailey Lodge Classic" rooms which many of you know will be:
*REMODELED ROOMS These units have been gutted down to the bare studs and completely redone. The interior design of each unit is unique though all are aimed at becoming higher end and/or rustic versions of turn-of-the-century mountain residences with some artistic twists. In the end, the looks will vary from barn board to Victorian.
Remodeling includes:
All units, new and old, will be immaculately clean and well maintained. We are correcting years of deferred maintenance though it will be lengthy process to complete it all. We'll maintain a group of the "classic" rooms for both the nostalgia and reduced price point. Along way we will be most happy to hear of any feedback you might have.
See you soon...
It is the goal of me and my brother Grant to bring the lodge up to a new level of quality in experience and aesthetic with our policy for dealing with our customers patterned after Grant's most successful Moab motel. His customer satisfaction level there will be our goal to match here though the design and feel of our establishment in Bailey will be completely different.
Thanks for checking us out.
Scott and Grant Peck

By Army Sgt. S. Patrick McCollumSpecial to American Forces Press Service
ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 11, 2008 Seven years ago today, Army Col. William Stoppel dropped his 9-month-old son, Will, at day care and went to work.
"It was my son's first day at Pentagon day care," Stoppel said. "I came in early, got him situated and went in to the office."
The day happened to be Sept. 11, 2001. Stoppel was assigned to the Army's personnel office, where he processed promotion packets.
When Stoppel got to his office, he borrowed some socks from Chief Warrant Officer William Ruth of the Maryland National Guard, talked to newly engaged Medical Service Corps officer Lt. Col. Karen Wagner and made light conversation with soldiers like Col. Canfield "Bud" Boone from the Indiana Army National Guard.
"I walked in that morning with Bud Boone," Stoppel said, recalling the conversation he had with him about a picnic they both attended. "I kind of joked with him about being an Olympian, because he played in every sport they offered that day. And for an 'old guy,' he was actually a pretty good athlete."
After the morning staff meeting, rumors flew that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. Office staff flocked to televisions to get confirmation.
Something wasn't right, Stoppel recalled, but he didn't know what it was. He decided to check on his son at the day care center. At the same time, he would go for his morning jog a little early -- an unusual change for such a schedule-oriented person.
"Ordinarily, I would always run at 11," he said. "What made me change my schedule? Why did I leave at 9:20 instead of 11?"
At the day care center, Stoppel talked to a provider about Will's first day. At about 9:37 a.m., American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the southwest corner of the Pentagon.
"I felt the earth shake," he said. "That was kind of strange. I walked outside, and I saw some smoke coming up. At that time, [the provider] got the call that it's time to evacuate the day care center."
Stoppel, the provider and the children moved to a nearby park without hearing another word. They tried to keep the children and each other calm, even after hearing that another plane was on its way.
Later, after getting home, he called around to check on his co-workers with no notion that his office in the inner ring of the Pentagon had taken a direct hit. He called Dave Scales, the man with whom he shared a cubicle. He talked to Wagner's fiancée, who hadn't heard anything.
After hours of calling, Stoppel finally received the dreaded news. "About 9:30 that night, I get a call from Colonel Charlie Baldwin, who was the chief of the Army National Guard Readiness Program at the time," Stoppel said. "He said, 'We thought you were dead.'"
The next day, the seven remaining members of the office met to discuss what happened. Some had survived and were in the hospital. Some, like Scales, had died immediately from the blast. Others, like Wagner and Ruth, died of smoke inhalation while trying to escape the wreckage. Boone, the "Olympic" athlete with whom Stoppel had joked, also was dead.
The visit brought questions that Stoppel still asks today -- the eternal issues of those who survive a tragedy.
"Had I been there, would I have been able to pick [someone] up and carry them off?" he wondered. "I don't know. Had I been sitting at my desk with Dave Scales, I probably would have just died in the initial blast. Why did I live and they didn't? I don't know."
The attack killed 184 innocent people, 125 inside the Pentagon.
The office was a close-knit unit – a family united by a common mission. The survivors attended many funerals, and ultimately decided to put their grief behind them by not letting the tragedy interrupt their work.
"The best way that we could honor the people who died in our office was to keep going," Stoppel said. "So we made sure no [promotion] board actions died … [or] were affected by 9/11. We just kept going."
Will Stoppel will be 8 years old Dec. 27. He may never fully understand what he did for his father that day.
His father, however, will never forget.
"Every morning when I wake up my son and hug him, I know that if not for him I'd be dead," he said.
(Army Sgt. S. Patrick McCollum serves at the National Guard Bureau.)

Girl safe after rescue from Durham motel
The break came when a friend saw an advertisement on an adult website.
Apparently, she recognized the tattoo.
It was a 17-year-old girl who had run away from home in upstate New York in February.
Somehow, she ended up in a south Durham motel, where two people are accused of prostituting her to men from New York to South Carolina.
This week, Durham police arrested Mark Brown, 26, of Ellis Road and Fatmiyah Tunis, 24, of Queens, New York. Both are charged with human trafficking and promoting prostitution of a minor. They were held in the Durham County Jail under $750,000 bond each.
Detective Jesus Sandoval of the Durham Police Department said the victim is in good condition and was getting help from the Salvation Army.
The investigation continues, he said, and more arrests are possible. The police department worked with the Polaris Project with the National Human Trafficking Resource Center, the Raleigh Police Department, ICE and Homeland Security.
Sandoval urged the public to be aware that "suspicious people don't wear any specific clothing. People should not hesitate to call 911 even if you don't think it's anything, just look at people's behavior."
He also cautioned motel workers to watch for warning signs – older men bringing young women or high traffic to a specific room.
"Public awareness is key to having these crimes reported in a timely manner," Sandoval said.

Cashino Slot is one of the many 20 line, 5 reel online slot games available. The rules are the same as the other online slots where the aim is to match symbols on the lines of the spinning reels.
The maximum payout on Cashino Slot is a cool £250,000 and you can play from as little as 2p per line up to £5 per line. You can also play this game in demo mode if you want to play for free before playing for real money.
The game has 3 bonus rounds, which is more than most online casino games. The wheel spin bonus is activated through the roulette icons, the card bonus is (as its name suggests) activated through card symbols, and the free spin bonus is activated through the dice symbols.
Choosing your stake
Cashino has 20 win lines. You can bet from 2p to £25 on each win line.
Click the stake/line '+' and '-' buttons to increase or decrease the size of your stake per line.
Click the Lines '+' and '-' buttons to select the number of lines you wish to play. Alternatively you can customise your chosen win lines by clicking on the individual number/colour and deselecting or selecting as you choose.
Click 'spin' to start your game.
There is an Autospin function in the game that will start each spin automatically until something occurs in the game that requires player intervention. If you wish to cancel this during your auto spins then simply press the Stop button which will appear where the spin button was previously.
Bonus Rounds
Wheel Spin Bonus
Match three, four or five bonus symbols in view to play the WHEEL-SPIN BONUS round. If you land on a roulette symbol, you will automatically advance to the next level and the multipliers will increase.

Select one of three, four or five cards to reveal a winning sum in the CARD BONUS.
Free Spin Bonus
Initiated by getting 3 or more dice symbols in view.

When free spins are triggered, a player will receive a bonus award of twice their total stake before being taken into the select routine.
More free spins can be triggered whilst the original free spins are taking place, so an on-screen meter will show the player how many free spins are remaining. If free spins are re-triggered, the player will once again go into the selection routine to find out how many additional spins have been won, and every time this happens the player will receive the bonus award of twice their total stake.
Pay Table
If the special feature icon appears on a win line, follow on screen instructions to play (click pay table to see icon).
Any wins will be automatically credited to your account.
All amounts are shown in multiples of the winning stake.
The theoretical average return to player (RTP) is 95.00%. This RTP represents the long-term expected payback of the game which has been calculated by an independent testing company.

Ben Velderman and the end of the NEA.
The return of Ben Velderman.
Last week it was the crazy group of standardized test critics who jubilantly predicted the death of teacher unions. These are not your typical testing critics, since millions of the wisest critics are members of the teacher unions.
This week it is my old stalker from the right-wing, Ben Velderman of the Education Action Group.
You remember Ben. He's the one who filed a Freedom of Information Act request last year for all my work emails and for my personnel file.
Predicting and rooting for the death of teacher unions is nothing new. What's interesting is the broad political spectrum it now includes.
Ben bases his prediction on the decline in union membership.
He gives Wisconsin as an example.
This is like the old joke about the guy who murders his parents and then asks for mercy from the judge because he is an orphan.
EAG's favorite Governor, Wisconsin's Scott Walker, destroys union collective bargaining. He slashes wages and benefits. Teachers leave the profession in droves. And Velderman claims this is a result of teacher rejection of unions.
It makes no more sense than what we heard last week from the opters.
Annonymous permalinkJuly 3, 2012 10:06 pm
Walker got his inspiration from what Obama did to teachers with RTTT. Before RTTT, teachers could collectively bargain to keep test scores out of administrators' hands and out of evaluations. RTTT changed all that, and weakened the collective bargaining rights of teachers' unions all over the nation. Walker just took it the next step.
And of course this is why it is so ironic that the NEA is losing its membership. Last summer, the NEA gave a no-strings-attached early endorsement to the nation's most powerful proponent of replacing public schools with nonunion charters, the same guy who gave Walker the impetus to attack public unions so viciously. The natural consequence of Obama's education policy is the decimation of unionized public school teachers. If the leadership of the NEA wants to know how this all happened, they need to do some serious self-evaluation.
