GARZA MONTEMAYOR, JUAN JOSÉ DE LA (1765–1816). Juan José de la Garza Montemayor was born in 1765 in Mier, Nuevo Santander, Mexico. He was the son of Juan José de la Garza Montemayor, Sr., and Gertrudis Chapa and the grandson of Capt. Blas de la Garza Falcónqv and Beatriz Gonzales de Hidalgo. On October 3, 1786, he married Josefa López de Jaen (Xaen) in Camargo. Eleven children were born to this couple.
The first Spanish land grant awarded in what is now Nueces County, Texas, was the Casa Blanca grant (1807). King Carlos III granted the land to Garza Montemayor and his three sons, José Manuel, Perfecto, and Agustín, a Catholic priest, all residents of Camargo, Nuevo Santander (later Tamaulipas), Mexico. The Casa Blanca grant, originally called the Penitas grant, consisted of 70,000 acres or sixteen sitios (see SITIO) of land between Penitas Creek and the Nueces River. The Garza Montemayors established themselves near the creek and named their homesite Casa Blanca Ranch, since it was near the ruins of Casa Blanca Fort.
Although Garza Montemayor had made his first payment for the royal grant in 1798, the grant was adjudicated in 1805 by Capt. José de Goseascochea, captain of the Provincial Cavalry Militia and chief justice of Camargo. The survey party found an abundance of wolves, coyotes, and snakes, a shortage of water, and a vulnerability to attacks by the barbaric Indians. The land was therefore evaluated at a mere ten pesos per league; Garza Montemayor paid 160 pesos for sixteen leagues of pastureland. The family was constantly attacked by Comanches, Karankawas, and Lipan Apaches. In 1814 the Comanches declared a war of extermination against the Spaniards. Indians forced the settlers to take refuge in the villas of the Rio Grande and destroyed their home.
The Garza Montemayor family became owners of most of the northwestern section of what is now Nueces County. Garza's father-in-law, Benito López de Xaen, was the original grantee of the San Antonio de Agua Dulce grant, adjacent to the Casa Blanca grant. After Garza Montemayor's death in 1816, his widow and their three sons sold the land to William Mannqv, who divided the land and sold it to area farmers and ranchers. After Mann's death his wife, Ester S. Mann, sold 22,000 acres of the grant to Richard King.

Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd (10) avoids the tackle of South Carolina?s Aldrick Fordham (57) on Nov. 24 at Memorial Stadium in Clemson, S.C. Richard Shiro/AP
- Filed Under
GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Louisiana State head football coach Les Miles has observed how fast Clemson University's offense can fly. If given an open path, Clemson has the horsepower to go from first down to end zone without shifting out of first gear.
Clemson recorded 21 plays covering 40 or more yards this season, eight of which yielded touchdowns.
To slow down Clemson's high-octane offense, Miles must install a governor on Clemson's engine, quarterback Tajh Boyd. ...

Hollande to Visit Mali as French Close to Securing Towns
French President Francois Hollande tomorrow will visit Mali, where his country's forces have driven insurgents out of most major towns they controlled in the north, the government said.
Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian and Development Minister Pascal Canfin will accompany Hollande, his office said today in an e-mailed statement, without giving further details.
Since intervening in Mali on Jan. 11 to prevent northern insurgents from seizing the capital, Bamako, French aircraft, paratroopers and ground units have driven the rebels out of several key towns, including the historic city of Timbuktu. The French and contingents from African armies are helping Mali's military regain control of a nation that vies with Tanzania as Africa's third-biggest gold producer.
Fabius, speaking to reporters in Paris today, reiterated that France is "advancing positively" against the rebels in the West African nation's desert north and that African troops will take over from its forces, which won't stay in Mali permanently.
After seizing control of the towns of Gao and Timbuktu, French troops on Jan. 30 also occupied the airport in Kidal, the last major city to be occupied by rebels. Sandstorms prevented them from taking over the town, Le Drian said yesterday.
Touareg rebels demanding greater autonomy for the north and Islamist militants won control over northern Mali following a March military coup in Bamako. European and U.S. officials fear the region may become a haven and training ground for Al-Qaeda-linked Islamists intent on attacking western targets.
Mali's interim President, Dioncounda Traore, yesterday said he'd negotiate with the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad, the main Touareg rebel group known as the MNLA, provided it drops any claims for a separate homeland. He rejected talks with Islamist groups such as Ansar ud-Din and al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.

|Written by Linda Martin
|Monday, 07 June 2010 13:47

Since 1985, 83 students have received the Hanson Scholarship Funds as a result of an endowment fund established through the generosity of Clem T. Hanson (1901-1985), a former Moline businessman and community leader. He was the founder of Hanson Advertising Agency (now Hanson, Watson & Associates) in Moline and was a co-founder of HON Industries in Muscatine. Mr. Hanson also served as President of Moline Rotary in 1952 and was a volunteer for Boy Scouts, Arrowhead Ranch and United Way. The Clement T. Hanson Memorial Scholarship Fund was established with The Moline Foundation by his family, following the death of Mr. Hanson in 1985.
Kelly E. Rogers and Laura E. Peterson, 2010 graduates of Moline High School have been chosen to receive scholarships from the Maggie Webb Scholarship Fund administered through The Moline Foundation.

Upon graduating from college, Maggie became department manager for the Iowa City Von Maur store. She then worked at several other Midwestern Von Maur stores earning acclaim for her sparkling personality and commitment to customer service.
Maggie's life tragically ended in December, 2007 with the mass shooting at an Omaha Nebraska mall. Maggie had recently moved to Omaha to serve as Von Maur Store Manager when she was killed along with five other employees and two customers.
Two students have been chosen to receive the annual scholarships from the Moline High School Class of '59 Scholarship Fund as administered through The Moline Foundation.

The two Moline High School Class of '59 Scholarship winners were chosen by a Selection Advisory Committee to each receive a $1,000.00 scholarship. The fund was established by the Class of '59 as a way to commemorate their fiftieth class reunion. This high school class was also the first class to graduate from the Moline High School building located at 3600 23rd Avenue.
Funds were raised by class members and volunteers over the past three years through a variety of fundraisers including barbeques, yard sales, and individual donations.

Dolores A. Hulse-DiIulio was a chemistry teacher at Moline High School for 36 years. She retired in 1994.
A 1958 graduate of Eastern Illinois University with a major in Chemistry and minors in Math and Physics, Dolores began teaching at Moline when the new high school opened on 23rd Avenue.

Here's a couple to start:
"We might have done nothing. That would have been utter ruin. Instead we met the situation with proposals to private business and to Congress of the most gigantic program of economic defense and counterattack ever evolved in the history of the Republic."
"By a continuous process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method, they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some....The process engages all of the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner that not one man in a million can diagnose."

SANTA FE — After a grueling legislative session, New Mexico lawmakers will be able to hit the slopes, courtesy of a trade group.
Ski New Mexico, the association of ski-area owners, annually makes this gift to legislators. The passes are good for a limited visit to ski areas around the state.
The ski passes have a total value of $27,750, according to a lobbyistexpense report filed by George Brooks, president of Ski New Mexico. He says the gift is meant to "Get [New Mexico] legislators acquainted" with the state's ski industry.
Lobbyist expense reports document gifts, food and beverages that various industries and organizations lavish upon legislators during the session.
The individual ski passes are valued at $250 per legislator, which is the limit under the Gift Act, which regulates presents bestowed upon lawmakers.
The report indicates the passes went to 111 of the 112 legislators. It's not clear which lawmaker didn't receive a pass or why he or she was excluded.
When asked what he planned to do with his ski pass, freshman Sen. Jacob Candelaria, D-Albuquerque, said, "Honestly, I have no idea. I don't ski. I haven't even thought about it. I do appreciate the gesture." He then said jokingly, "There are no ski slopes in my district."
Candelaria, pointing to a box of mint tea someone left on his work area in the Senate Chambers, said the gifts he's received so far seem to be aimed at helping lawmakers appreciate "experiences of our state.
Another new senator, Mark Moores, R-Albuquerque, didn't hesitate when asked what he planned to do with his pass.
"I plan to help New Mexico's economy by going skiing," he said, "taking my family and enjoying the great outdoors."
While the Legislature is in session, lobbyists are required by law to report expenditures larger than $500 within 48 hours of the spending. The ski passes weren't the only gifts that showed up in lobbyist reports in the last week.
Ann Conway, who lobbies for the Albuquerque Museum Foundation, on Thursday gave foundation memberships to lawmakers, which allow free admission to the museum during the next year. The total cost was $2,100.
Legislators and staff received teddy bears from David Roddy, a lobbyist for the New Mexico Primary Care Association, to celebrate Primary Care Day on Thursday. The 250 stuffed toys cost $1,316.
Most of the most recent expense reports document parties, dinners and receptions given for legislators.
The most expensive event to show up in the reports in recent days is The University of New Mexico's Alumni Association Legislative Appreciation Reception at La Fonda on Monday. The reported cost was $12,041. However, the event was not just for legislators. Other government officials, including the governor and lieutenant governor, were invited, as were a large number of university and Alumni Association officials.
Other social events documented in recent lobbyist reports include:
•A $10,227 dinner for legislators at Restaurant Martin on Monday, reported by John Christopher, a lobbyist for Comcast.
•A $7,687 "Legislative Mixer" at La Posada de Santa Fe Resort & Spa on Wednesday, reported by Thom Turbett, a lobbyist for Independent Insurance Agents of New Mexico. Legislators and members of the insurance industry attended.
•Michael D'Antonio, a lobbyist for Public Service Company of New Mexico, reported spending $1,684 for a Thursday reception at the Eldorado Hotel.
•The National Education Association spent $3,474.72 for a reception for legislators and NEA-NM members Jan. 23, which was held at the NEA Building on Botulph Road.
•The New Mexico State University Alumni Association spent $2,966.39 on a Jan. 25 event at the New Mexico National Guard Bataan Memorial Museum for legislators, staff and NMSU alumni, lobbyist Ricardo Rel reported.
•The Independent Community Bankers Association of New Mexico spent $2,359 for a dinner for the Senate Judiciary Committee at the Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado, lobbyist Jerry Walker reported.
•The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees hosted a legislative reception costing $1,914 on Jan. 21. The event was at the New Mexico Federation of Labor office on Old Santa Fe Trail.
•The New Mexico Women's Agenda spent $1,750 on a reception honoring women at the Santa Fe Hilton on Tuesday. Legislators, Cabinet secretaries, judges and other public officials as well as the general public were invited, lobbyist Susan Loubet reported.
•John Lee Thompson, lobbyist for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, reported spending $938 on a dinner at Geronimo restaurant for the mayor of Gallup, five members of Gallup-McKinley Economic Development, Sen. Clemente Sanchez and two railroad officials on Jan. 24.

The need for the local Q&C Scheme for NDT became so obvious in the early 80 when the government changed her economic direction from a commodity/agricultural base to an industrial base nation. IN January 1986, after 5 years planning in collaboration with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the local Q&C Scheme for NDT personnel was finally established and immediately implemented. The implementation of such a scheme has revolutionised the NDT technology and its application in the country. With thousands of personnel have been trained and qualified, the quality of NDT today has improved significantly in terms of its safety, equipment and organization. Furthermore, it has become one of the subject taught in several higher learning institute.

You've heard of Google X Labs in California, where self-driving cars and other cutting edge tech are being developed. Google Ideas is a sibling think tank in New York. The organization released several new tools this week, all designed to deliver online access where it might be hard to get.
Google Ideas also came out with a Denial of Service attack map. It's like a weather map showing where hackers might be trying to bring down websites around the globe.

COMMUNITY PROPERTY LAW. In the Texas matrimonial property system there are two kinds of property: separate property (solely owned by a spouse) and community property (owned in common in equal shares by both spouses). Typically, all property acquired during marriage by either spouse is presumed to be community property, and a spouse who asserts that particular property is separate property must prove its sole ownership. The principle of community property is derived from the law of Castile and ultimately from Visigothic custom. The other states that use this system are California, Louisiana, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, Washington, and Wisconsin. During marriage all the earnings of both spouses and the revenues from the separate property acquired during marriage are community property. Between spouses, community property may become separate property by a gift or sale for a separate property consideration, or since 1980 by a partition or exchange entered into either before or during marriage. Separate property may be converted into community property by sale for a community property consideration. Otherwise, as long as its identity can be traced, separate property retains its character, but if separate property is commingled with community property so that it cannot be traced, the whole commingled mass is deemed common. Since 1987 spouses have been able to agree in writing that all or any part of their community property will belong to the survivor of them. Prior to 1913, and in large measure from 1929 to 1968, management of community property was vested in the husband. Since 1967 management of community property is clearly divided between the spouses according to its source. Each spouse has control of his or her earnings, the profits of separate property, and recoveries from personal injury for loss of earning power, but if that common property over which one spouse has sole management power is mixed or combined with that which is subject to the sole control of the other spouse, the resulting mixture is subject to joint control of the spouses. Spouses may, however, agree to manage their community property as they may choose. See also SEPARATE PROPERTY LAW.

A game like this really shakes your faith and belief in things...I mean hasn't pittsburgh won enough already?
ugh...they made a game of it. They needed a stop to get the ball back and they didn't come through. They let the rapist worm through and run all day when we had coverage, the refs were totally in pittsburgh's pocket(did pittsburgh have any holding penalties?), and the jets gave a good effort at the end (it's a 2 half game folks) but it was too little too late. I don't know, maybe if we were playing a team that wasn't the NFL's darling it would've been different, but this was not our game. You can't play 1 half and win.
Sour grapes? The Jets came up short on the road against a good Steelers squad....."Refs in Pittsburgh's pocket"????

and I still think that "fumble" was an incomplete pass. Sanchez arm was going forward!!!
They shouldn't have even been throwing there to begin with. 3rd and 17 way deep in your own territory, get out of dodge and don't make a bad situation worse. As it turned out those seven points made the difference.

I'm still ticked off at the officiating though. I mean were the steelers perfect angels...I don't think so. They manage to call backbreaking penalty after backbreaking penalty. but all the drag downs and illegal hands to the face on the steelers o-line goes unpunished.

In all seriousness, I feel for you die-hard Jets fans. I'd consider myself more of a casual fan but this loss still bothers the hell out of me. I can only imagine how this hurts the die hards out there.
Yes. It hurts.

At first, I thought it was an inc pass, but after the replay sadly, it wasn't. While there were tons of missed holding calls on them, and a sh!tty pass interference call and a sh!t running into the kicker call, you really can't blame this on the refs. The defense and sh!tenheimer fvcked us tonight. As well as our O-line. I won't go into detail, but this loss hurts. This team is basically my life. I feel like I've been shot. It will be a bitch waking up for classes tomorrow.
yea...just watched the replay it did look like a backwards pass

But one of these years, the Jets are going to have to stop travelling down the road of most resistance, and find a way to get themselves a bye week and at least one home game. That crowd will be as loud as it gets.
Big Ben didn't have the best numbers last night, but found a way to get it done when it mattered, and that's all that counts. Tom Brady used to do that, find a way to get it done without pretty numbers, but in recent years he's become more like Peyton Manning...big, pretty regular season numbers, but not much in the big games (especially playoff time), and instead of being calm and cool in tough spots, a lot more yelling at teammates and becoming flustered when things aren't going his way. Tom's still a hell of a player, one of the best to ever play the position, would never say otherwise, but watching Ben just made me realize how Brady's gotten way from the just-get-it-done gritster he once was. I miss the guy that wore his cap backwards at press conferences, and didn't have his wife picking his outfits for him.

[Mark Messier]: A big, bald attention whore with a stupid Easter Island-lookin face. - from who else? DaneykoIsGod!
Even when Marty comes back maybe Larry should put Clemmensen to be on the goal during the shootouts.
Can the coach do that ? Switch the goalies 5 seconds to go in overtime? - Most priceless quote ever posted on a message board.
Martin Brodeur: THE MOST ALL-TIME WINS!, 12 straight seasons of 30+ wins, 3 Stanley Cups, 4 Vezina Trophies, and zero respect from too many so-called Devils "fans" who are either too young or too bandwagon to remember the much darker days of Sean Burke, Craig Billington, Bob Sauve, Alain Chevrier, and the talented but overwhelmed Chico Resch, among many others.
It's easy to support a great player when he's playing at his very best. It takes a true fan to support that same player during those rare moments and stretches when he's not. Babe Ruth went 0-4 some games, and sometimes Wayne Gretzky was held pointless. There may be such a thing as greatness, but no such thing as absolute perfection every single night.

Sanchez is the real deal. Your offensive line is great, WR's are great, but your running game is below average and cost you the Super Bowl. Draft some young studs here share the load and acquire a younger FB.
The defense is strong and just needs one pass rusher to make the difference.
Your coaching is strong.
The pieces are here. Based on Tannenbaum's drafting (aside from Mangenius insistence of Vernon G.) the Jets will make another run next year.

Granted, this football team is going to be good for a number of years to come... but last nights punch in the stomach, isn't going to go away anytime soon. Last night was about as tough as it gets. It actually felt like a loved one passed away. From rap songs, to hardknocks, and everything in-between.. I fell head over heels in love with this team over the last 2 years, and genuinely believed (at the very least) that they were Superbowl worthy in representing their Conference. As a diehard fan, 2 back-to-back missed opportunities like this, disgust you more than words can say. Perhaps in the weeks to come, there will be ample time to reflect on what was undoubtedly a wonderful season. Unfortunately now is not that time. Now is the time to lament. Now is the time to mourn. Now it the time to say; (like every season since 1968) "there's always next year" ..and wait with great patience, and regret.
These last 5 playoffs losses (1999, 2003, 2005, 2010, 2011) especially the 3 AFC Championship failures.. I put them right at the top of my list of 'heartbreak' as a fan of the Devils, Jets, & Yankees. As tough as the '88, '94, & '01 seasons were to swallow for the Devils.. (likewise '01, '03, '04 for the Yanks) ..I was fortunate enough to see ultimate triumph, a total of 8x between the 2 franchises in my life.. which is more than alot of other fans can say. For THAT, I am truly thankful.
..as far as my Jets go? The *Long & Suffering tag, will continue to be worn like a fvcking badge of honor.

Contemporary Art Dialogue
Contemporary art is more than beautiful objects, images, poetry or music. It is taking paper, forms, images, words, sounds, color, light and ideas, and transforming these into artworks that resonate, inspire and provoke us.
Contemporary art is often about taking discordant elements from ones life and environment, and re-ordering these to create works with profound messages. Art historically, Cezanne and Van Gogh painted obsessively while striving to order chaos within their lives.
Contemporary art is created from the 1960's or 70's to the present. It comprises several styles and media, includes conceptual, political and social messages, addressing feminism, multiculturalism and globalization. Modern art created 1860 to 1970 includes impressionism, cubism, abstract expressionism and more.
The Following are Just a Few Among Many Contemporary Art Styles
Graffiti art has spontaneity and urgency born in part from the need to make the self and ones ideas known to the world. Painter Marcus Antonius Jansen explains, "Graffiti is a vibrant voice that has enormous potential in terms of movement, color, vibrancy and immediacy. As I grew older, I started to recognize a connection between European expressionism and graffiti art because both styles were expressing a socio-political message." From Art-Interview Online!
With postmodern art, artists adopt, borrow, steal, recycle and/or sample from earlier modern and classical works, as well as from artists, styles, movements and techniques. Divisions no longer exist between art, popular culture and the media. Shepard Fairey's Obama Hope poster, an example, includes "appropriation" from another source, a photograph. The works of photo-realist painter Kathryn Aiken are also examples. She lit, photographed and printed her subjects. Then using her images as guides, she rendered her compositions onto paper, painting with rich watercolors, brilliant light fast inks and 'layer upon layer' of pastels.
For an artist, abstract art (with origins in modern art) is an intense, deliberate process, employing conscious or subconscious techniques to convey emotions, thoughts and/or messages. Rather than creating a lucid, figurative image, abstract art provides forms and symbols that evoke thoughts, memories and emotions from the viewer.
Assemblage art is non-traditional sculpture made from combining found objects, sometimes using junk from the streets. Originally a movement in modern art, assemblage works by artists Robert Rauschenberg, Ed Kienholz and others are raw but poetically beautiful. They take the ordinary and make it special.
Photographic art (as opposed to photojournalism) is about seeing the world with a high level of acuteness and discrimination, The photographic artist generally uses four approaches to assessing visual information: 1) the two-dimensional shape or outline, 2) texture or surface characteristics, 3) the three-dimensional aspect, 4) color, including black and white.
With Conceptual art, concepts or ideas are more important than traditional aestheticism, while specific concepts or ideas are often created in the absence of traditional aesthetic principles. Conceptual artworks by Sol LeWitt were constructed from his written instructions by others. LeWitt said, " the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work...all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair.
True Personality and Essence
"Great art should be timeless, command attention, make an artistic statement, trigger an emotion, engage and acquire the true personality and essence," wrote an anonymous writer.
"If you know that piece of music, you know it has the ability to crack your heart open like a walnut; it can make you cry over sadness you didn't know you had. Music can slip beneath our conscious reality to get at what's really going on inside us," said Karl Paulnack, director of Boston Conservatory's Music Division.
"Art is the cry of the soul from the core of one's being. Creating and appreciating art set free the joyous soul trapped deep within us. That is why art causes such joy," wrote Buddhist philosopher Daisaku Ikeda.

The 26-year-old, of suburban Fort Myers, was accused of bilking friends and neighbors out of thousands of dollars through an elaborate scheme that centered on a false claim that she had inherited billions of dollars.
Johnson was facing multiple charges including fraud, scheme to defraud and larceny. She pleaded no contest to the fraud charge and one count of scheme to defraud. The rest of the charges were dropped because the cases overlapped. ...

Under the terms of the agreement, Air Liquide will have access to ASM's key processes and material intellectual property related to the deposition of advanced ultra-high-k insulator films such as Yttrium-doped Zirconia, STO and BST. ASM and Air Liquide's customers will benefit from Air Liquide's ALOHA global research, manufacturing and supply chain capability, with ASM's well known Pulsar® atomic layer deposition (ALD) system.
The first high-k materials were introduced in mainstream DRAM manufacturing in the mid 2000's, and more recently as a gate insulator material in logic manufacturing. The materials are expected to be used in both types of devices to further enhance transistor and capacitor performance.
Ivo Raaijmakers, chief technology officer of ASM stated, "It is essential that the whole supply chain, including chemicals, their transportation and storage, deposition equipment and source containers reaches maturity before new materials will be adopted by our customers. The agreement with Air Liquide is a key step to enable ultra high-k materials for the industry." Jean-Marc Girard, chief technology officer of Air Liquide Electronics commented, "We are proud to become a preferred supplier of the leader in high-k ALD technology for these advanced thin film products. It is essential for chemical suppliers to closely cooperate with tool suppliers on an ongoing basis. High-Tech is a growth driver of Air Liquide."

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) _ The future of a Sedgwick County juvenile home for boys is in doubt, after a long-range funding solution for the struggling operation died in a Kansas House committee.
Sedgwick County commissioners previously said the Judge Riddel Boys Ranch would close June 30 if the state didn't provide more funding. Getting short-term funding hinged on a long-term funding solution that did not advance Tuesday in the House Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee.
The ranch nearly closed last year before the state provided an additional $750,000 to keep it open.
The Wichita Eagle reports that the county receives a state reimbursement of $126 per boy per day, but it has told the state it needs $201 per day to cover costs.
The facility currently serves 32 boys.

Hundreds down picnic favorites to promote community at barbecue
September 21, 2010
By Christopher Huber
PTA volunteers greeted them, handed each a small plate and student leadership class members served pulled pork, coleslaw, root beer floats and other barbecue elements.
The annual back-to-school barbecue serves to introduce the incoming sixth-graders and their families to the greater BLMS community, said PTA co-president Deb Smith. Although it is focused on welcoming the younger students, the event was open to everyone. In all, roughly 450 people showed up to dine in the Beaver Lake cafeteria.
This year's barbecue was extra important, Smith said, because of the shuffling of attendance boundaries.
"It's the first time for the sixth-graders that they have friends not from their neighborhoods," she said. "Anytime you build community and pride in the school, kids have more sense of belonging. It's a good chance for parents to meet, too."
Smith and others were impressed with the overall turnout. She said there were more seventh- and eighth-graders than usual.
As families settled into the lunch tables, parents mingled and many of their pre-teens buzzed around the open space in front of the stage. A disc jockey led interactive games and other students hopped outside to pet Buddy 2.0, the school's live mascot — a bulldog, whose owner, Patrick Ford, teaches at the school.
"My general vibe is Beaver Lake has a uniquely good grasp on the general level of raising kids and educating kids," parent John Haile said. "The spirit of this is so right on."
Haile, who has one child at Beaver Lake and one at Endeavour Elementary School, said he has overall been impressed with the district's promotion of community involvement.
"Success is predicated on involvement," he said. "The barbecue just gave every kid that's here an extra 10 points on their next test."

Hewlett-Packard said it recorded an $8.8 billion writedown related to its purchase last year of Autonomy, the U.K. software maker. More than $5 billion of that impairment charge was the result of accounting practices at Autonomy, Hewlett-Packard said in a statement. About $200 million of Autonomy's revenue had been recorded prematurely or improperly, according to ...

Two weeks ago, I drove to the airport at 4 am with Susan to head out to California for a salad-filled trip.
The Dole Summit was held in Monterey, California, not far from the Dole offices and the fields we visited in the Salinas Valley. We got into Monterey around 3 pm Wednesday afternoon and were starving, so it didn't take us long to find Paula and grab lunch at the Cannery Row Brewing Company.
If you go – make sure you get a beer and these mini corn dogs. This is the lunch of champions after being in the airport for 9 hours.
After taking a short rest and some time to freshen up, we headed down to a small reception to meet the other bloggers and the Dole team.
I can't say enough about the group – everyone we met from Marketing to Product Development to the Growers themselves were so friendly and welcoming and answered any questions we had about Dole, their vegetables, their practices, and were happy to share their love of salad with all of us.
After meeting everyone and sharing Arugula Mojitos (omg so good – will be making soon here for you!), we walked over to a landmark restaurant for dinner – The Sardine Factory.
And I don't know how this happened, but I didn't even stay long enough for dessert! This is…unheard of. But with the time change and the long day of travel, by the time my scallops came to the table, I had already been up for over 24 hours and I just couldn't keep my eyes open anymore.
Plus, I was really excited for the next day – the farm tours!
I don't go on many trips like this and I try to be very picky about where I go and who I go with. I don't want to go on trips with companies that I don't already buy from or use their products in my own home, and Dole is definitely a company that falls in line with that.
Nick and I garden – a lot – and most of our lettuce comes from our own yard, but when I need some and ours is gone or I need a special kind that we don't grow ourselves, Dole is one brand that I usually reach for. I also think of myself as a pretty well-informed consumer, but getting the chance to see the farms and the packaging plant and meet the team and farmers is something I wouldn't have had otherwise. And that experience definitely taught me more about the company than I was expecting to learn on this trip and, ultimately, gives me even more information as a consumer.
After seeing their fields, watching the process of harvesting and washing and bagging, and talking with one of their growers, now I know why their salads are so good.
We started the day with a trip to Dole HQ to try some of their newest salad mixes (I'll be sharing my favorite with you soon – I've had it 5 times since I've been back!). We also had the chance to ask questions and find out more about the company and Dole's Salad'tude — a new marketing campaign that focuses on finding your own personal salad style.
Basically – they want everyone to eat more fruits and vegetables. And so do I! Dole is the largest producer of vegetables in the world, but when you step onto the fields and talk with the growers who have been working with dole for generations, you would never think that this wasn't anything more than a co-op of friends and family, working together to grow a ton – literally – of vegetables.
Before heading over to the fields, we stopped in Carmel and had the best lunch of my life at La Bicyclette. I seriously have had dreams about their carrot risotto since I got back. I would consider moving to California just to eat there every week. Oh, who am I kidding – every day! I would probably just work there.
This pile of iceberg leaves right here? They're the outer leaves from the heads they were harvesting, and those outer leaves get used as fertilizer for the fields. Lettuce leaves turned into fertilizer = the ultimate recycling. I was happy to see that those weren't just wasted.
The most important things I learned?
- Dole does not use any GMOs in their salad production – ever. I was definitely surprised to hear this (bad assumption on my part) but it's so encouraging to know.
- And what about pesticides? Yes, for growing, they do use some but the team told us that post-wash testing has shown 85% of their products have no traces left when they go out to the public, which is because the lettuce is washed at least three times in the packaging plant before heading out to the grocery store shelves. Not exactly like home grown lettuce, but pretty close.
- Dole currently does not offer organic options, but they are involved with integrative pest management and natural means wherever possible.
- Another awesome tidbit we learned (that isn't on the packaging at all) is that their recyclable plastic is made from 70% previously recycled materials.
After touring the fields, we headed to the processing plant to see the washing, chopping, and bagging process in action and we took a lettuce quiz – I didn't even know there were so many varieties! I definitely did not win, but I knew more than I thought I would.
Once the quiz was over, we got to hear Gil Oetzel, director of new product development, talk about his role and his passion. He definitely understands that plants are living and that life continues to act out in the plant, even after harvest. That fact is what keeps him working towards finding and creating the perfect packaging to keeping their salads and vegetables at their peak until they get to your table.
To close out the day, we were treated to a full Salad Party at the Intercontinental with all the bloggers and the Dole Team. Over grilled salads, salad pizzas, salads topped with scallops, salad wraps – you name it – we had the chance to chat with the team and get to know the other bloggers on the trip, the foodies who make these trips so much fun. It's nice to not be the only person taking a picture of your lunch.
All in all, I'm happy I went on this trip. It was eye opening to really see what happens behind the scenes at a large company like Dole, especially considering that it didn't feel like a huge conglomerate. I made new friends, heard some great things about a company I already buy from at home, and had the chance to chat with the farmers themselves.
May is National Salad Month – I hope you're celebrating!
Special thanks to Dole, who sponsored this visit to Monterey and the entire blogger summit; as well as to DGWB, who organized and coordinated travel, activities and events. While this trip was sponsored, I was not compensated for this post or for my thoughts. All opinions – as always – are my own.

Awesome info – especially about the lack of traces of pesticides! Have you been to the Dole plantation in Hawaii? It's fabulous…a neat experience.
What an awesome trip!! I lived on the island of Oahu for 3 years back when I was in the Navy, and I have been to the Dole plantation. I have pics of me in the pineapple field. It was a place I always took family/visitors that came to visit me. ;) When I think Dole…I'll always think pineapple.
I'm so happy to hear the Dole nutritional facts! It's SO awesome they don't use GMO's, and wonderful news about the pesticides. It's great so many companies are striving to be as close to organic and the way God intended as possible. I'll now feel confident reaching for Dole products in the future. Thanks for sharing!!
What an awesome trip! And well-deserved to somebody like you. Next time, I want to come! :)
Mucho love,
Very cool! However, I really wish Dole offered organic products. 85% of products with no trace of pesticides is great, but I just wish they'd go farther to organic methods. How great that they are GMO-free, though!
I know, me too. But definitely nice that they don't use GMOs
What an absolutely amazing trip!! It's so great working with brands whose products you're already passionate about. And it does look like a fabulous group :)
Such a cool opportunity!!! And we happily eat lots of Dole produce in our house :)
P.S. I had no clue that it's National Salad Month but I've definitely been celebrating!
good info! and ironically enough i had a salad for lunch ;)
What a fun trip! Interesting to hear about some of the facts about DOLE products like that they are GMO-free! Thanks for the recap!
So much interesting info in this post! I have never really thought twice about Dole products and whether they're sustainably focused – thanks for sharing what you learned! p.s. excited to meet you soon!
you too!!
Looks like a fantastic trip! Thanks for letting us know all the great info you learned. :)
LOVED meeting you on this Dole trip and I cannot wait to see you in a few weeks in Seattle! Have a fabulous night- love these great pictures!
me tooo!!!
Great recap!! Look forward to seeing you at Blogher Food!
You too, Gina!

Sports Authority coming to mall
Tuesday, June 27, 2006
By MARCIA BLOMBERG
HOLYOKE - Holyoke Mall has snagged The Sports Authority as a new tenant, which will open early next year in space that has been vacant since Kahunaville closed in late 2004.
The Sports Authority is one of several pending additions to the mall, including Clark's shoe store, Babies'R Us, Delia's and ALDO Accessories.
Already opened are new stores Bakers Fashion Footwear Boutique and Sadie's, a photography studio focusing on children.
A.C. Moore, the crafts store, will move into the former Kids 'R Us space on the lower level of the mall to make room for The Sports Authority store, which will put in a 46,000-square-foot store in the combined Kahunaville and A.C. Moore spaces.
"We've got quite a bit of construction right now, but it's a huge positive for us," said William G. Rogalski, general manager of the mall.
The Sports Authority's closest stores currently are in Manchester, Conn., and Framingham.
Executives from The Sports Authority, headquartered in Englewood, Colo., could not be reached for comment on the decision to go into Holyoke, but a spokesman said the average store is 45,000 square feet.
The company, which has 402 stores, will employ 30 to 40 people at the new store in Holyoke.
Clark's, the venerable shoe company, will open a 2,670-square-foot store on the upper level in the former Carlton Cards' space.
ALDO Accessories, which will complement the ALDO shoe store on the upper level, is under construction on the lower level near Sears.
Several other stores at the mall have remodeled and expanded and others have moved, making for nearly 100,000 square feet of construction at the 1.5-million-square-foot mall, according to Lisa Wray, marketing director.
Wray said 57,000 square feet of that 100,000 square feet involves remodeling of existing stores.
Here are some of the recent changes:
Babies'R Us is expected to open in August in the remodeled, former Toys'R Us space, which is 36,974 square feet....

As good as glass keyboards on our phones have become, they're less than ideal when entering complicated things like secure passwords. Touch ID on the iPhone 5s lets you bypass some password situations, but there's a lot it can't do. But if you're on iOS 7 and also have a Mac running the latest version of OS X, you can set your phone to remember things like your passwords and credit card info. On your computer, head into System Preferences to set up an iCloud Security Code under the iCloud pane. Restart your iPhone, then head into the Settings menu. Scroll down to iCloud, tap Keychain, and switch it on. After setting up an iCloud Security Code, your saved information from your Mac should appear. Then, in Safari's settings, go to Passwords & AutoFill and allow web forms to always autofill with your contact information. These steps make life easier but they're also more of a security risk – you must decide if it's worth it to save some time and frustration.

What's the hardest position to play?
Quarterback. Case closed, next question.
1) Qb
2) Qb
3) Qb
4) Qb
4223) Qb
Agreed. A better question would be "besides QB what's the hardest position to play."
Besides quarterback, i'd say corner
Physically I would say RB
QB by far. The mental side of it is incredibly complex in addition to the physical part. I couldn't imagine trying to read a defense while avoiding a real pass rush and then having to deliver an accurate pass to a WR 15 yards down field.
I think that CB is the second hardest now days just because of the physical requirements in height/speed/fluidity. WR's are huge and fast and know where they are going presnap. And now you can't even touch them with out a PI call.
Alright who voted for kicker/punter?
Man to man corner and quarterback i think are pretty even to be honest
It's QB but I picked safety since the position seriously lacks a lot of talent there.
I wouldn't the specialists, but we tend to undervalue players like running backs or thumping linebackers in the "new NFL". Thinking about the pounding that those guys go through it is incredible that they last more than one season.
Other than QB:
This is going to come down to a safety vs CB argument. Depending on the system, it can be both.
Safeties generally have more responsibility in the run game than a CB, a good cover safety can mask a patchwork CB corps and with the advent of the more athletic TE (in some systems) a good safety can do wonders for your defense.
However, the CB must cover a wide variety of WR types, from the short speedsters to the long gliding deep-threats and everywhere in between. Very few are good at covering every type of receiver. The ability to keep receivers covered for a second longer can help your pass rush and may be the difference between a sack and a completion.
It's tough to say but I would venture to say that it is one of those two.
I lean towards the safety side as there are so few safeties who excel at every facet of being a safety while there are a number of CBs who I would say are true "#1 types"
I'd say 4-3 MLB is the hardest position because you need many more skill sets than any other position. MLBs need to read the offense pre-snap , tackle, cover, read and react, as well as shed blocks
It's by far and away CB after QB.
Lamo wtf people voting for k/p idiots . just kidding.
I voted QB, but I think that is the easy way out. They touch the ball basically every offensive play. Other than a center making the line calls, they do a ton of pre snap stuff. And that isn't even accounting for what they do during a play.
Non QB? Easily safety for me, especially FS. Corner is difficult, but scheme can play to a player's strengths. Coordinators can put guys in man or zone. There can be safety help over the top. They don't have to blow up the running game. Being a shutdown corner is tremendously difficult, but playing at the highest level is not essential. There aren't a ton of players in NFL history that can play corner at a true shutdown level. However, there are a lot of serviceable corners.
As players get bigger and faster, there should be plenty of players with the range of skills and size to make some really good free safeties. Yet were the heck are they? A great FS has to be a center fielder and a good at tackling. There is a distinct reason reason that Ed Reed in the twilight of his career is still considered the best FS in the NFL right now. A great FS has to see and survey the field similar to a QB.
I voted for Punter. You got a problem with that?
i think its CB personally, if you get noticed everyone hates you.
QB is an easy choice, i feel for the corners though...at least QBs get the glory with the position. its the most important position, not the hardest
I've played every position except for OG...
I'd say QB was by far the hardest, you are so reliant on so many others and yet still have to do as much as anyone else individually.
After that I found S/CB to be the most difficult, CB everything is stacked against you, safety you need to make so many reads.
DL is for the most part very easy, LB has far easier reads and assignments than safety.
RB is probably the easiest position to play(also the most fun!).
K and P are obviously easy to do, not as easy to be good at though :)
C is a hard position as well, have to make reads, have to snap and get your head up before getting belted.
WR can be difficult with a poor QB, mostly from a mental standpoint, but is fundamentally an "easy" position.
QB is obviously the hardest. Now that we have that out of the way.....
CB/safety are both underrated in this poll but at this point in time in the NFL everyone knows how important they are. There are so many freakish WR's in the league right now where it's basically impossible to stay with them step for step. Hell, there are so many freakish #2 receivers that you need to be pretty ****** good to contain them.
OL is being underrated in this poll. How many physical beasts do we see as DL's come in the draft year after year? That's because if you are a regular contributor as a D-lineman in the NFL you are either a physical freak or have a ridiculous motor and both are difficult to defend.
You can hide weakness and strengths of any player in any system, except kickers. You can either kick the ball or you can't. The punter is standing 10 yards behind everyone, all alone. And no one ever remembers good punts. They always remember the shanks and the times when the returner takes it back on you. It's always the punters fault that the gunner didn't tackle the guy 60 yards down field.
Imagine trying to throw a rocket down field 30 yards into a tire. Now imagine having to do it twice as far with your foot.

Welcome to Buckeye International
for optimal site experience get the latest flash player version here
Buckeye International
company history
Buckeye International, Inc. is the innovative leader in the cleaning/maintenance products industry with a heritage marked by a history of quality products, profitable operations, and consistent financial strength. Our company was founded in 1844 in Dayton, Ohio as the J.P. Davies Company, producer of oils for oil-burning lamp and lubrication uses. The discovery of petroleum in 1888 led to a shift in production to bar soap manufacturing. J.P. Davies Company became the first company to market chip soap in a box on a commercial basis, beginning in 1892. In 1905, we became the first company to package chip soap for household use. The J.P. Davies Company was incorporated under Ohio law as the Davies-Young Soap Company in 1914. The nut of the buckeye tree, a symbol of luck to many Ohioans, inspired the Buckeye brand name for our soap and other cleaning products. The Buckeye brand name was registered in 1922. In 1972, Davies-Young Soap Company relocated its corporate headquarters, research facilities, and product operations to St. Louis, Missouri, and with our growth in international business, changed our name to Buckeye International, Inc., in 1990. Today, all of our products bear the Buckeye brand name and are used throughout the world in hospitals, long-term care facilities, schools, and industrial and retail facilities.
Beginning in 1975, Buckeye became one of the first in its industry to emphasize worker and environmental safety through better products and packaging. Instead of following the rest of the industry, Buckeye decided to step ahead and develop its own patented chemistry just as effective as those containing butyl, yet much safer to work with. Our patented Liquescent® technology was the way of the future for Buckeye. This water-based technology not only strengthens the cleaning power of Buckeye products, but it also removes hazardous chemical ingredients, such as butyl, ammonia, solvents, and alcohol bases.
Buckeye continues to be the innovative leader through its product proportioning systems including the patented Action Control System II® and the Smart System™. Buckeye was the first company in the maintenance cleaning products industry to introduce the "bag-in-a-box" concept. Our Action Pacs® utilize this idea and contain 1/12 the non-biodegradable materials of a standard five-gallon pail. Packaging innovations continued with the Buckeye Smart Sac™. This packaging contains 60% less plastic than rigid containers and is designed for use in the lockable, easy-to-use, and efficient Smart System™. Packaging is just another way Buckeye uses innovative ideas to make safer products that are more convenient than ever to use.
Buckeye doesn't stop all this innovation with products and packaging. Our company leads the way in providing superior customer service as well. From specialized training programs for end-users to timely deliveries and professional support, Buckeye customers know that they're getting the most innovative service and products in the industry.

Getting Slender the Atkins Way!
Greetings! You have reached this page like many before you in search of a convenient and effective way to trim some undesired pounds. Search no further my friend, as The Atkins Nutritional Approach™ is the solution you have been looking for.
Having experienced the fruits of this logical system personally, I have taken it upon myself to develop this simplistic site in the hopes of assisting others seeking fulfillment in their health and beauty aspirations.
Weight loss that does not require rigorous workouts or outrageous starvation sessions seems to all who have not experienced it as unlikely or even impossible. Let me assure you that this diet is no hoax. I have personally used Atkins to lose over 100 pounds in a rapid amount of time, suffice it to say a few months. As a person who covets privacy you will simply have to take my word for it. Sorry, no bio or pictures, though I will say friends and family were amazed.
Power in the world is often dictated by simple information; thusly information in the world today is greatly coveted. I had difficulty finding this simple information so I have taken it upon myself to make it available to all.
On this site I offer two things, information and tools. The information I provide is the GUIDE found below which will provide you with the basic means to successfully initiate and understand the working design of the diet. In a nutshell, it is a simplistic how to description for the Atkins diet. The tools I provide are what is needed to successfully perform the diet, which includes a 243pg COOKBOOK with over 1000 recipes and an Atkins carb counter, key to maintaining the diet.
Good Luck with your new endeavor, I wish you success and all the luck in the world!
It's Time to Trim Up that Body!
The following principals of the Atkins Nutritional Approach™ must be followed precisely to achieve success. The closer you adhere to the rules of the guide the more effective the diet and the better the results. Don't find yourself saying in the end, "Atkins is just another weight-loss plan that doesn't work." Be patient with yourself and do your best, as Atkins is one of the few diets you can learn to enjoy. Again, good luck and be sure to check out the Common Acceptable Foods section at the bottom of the guide.
The following general guidelines are a simplified interpretation of the diets main stipulations.
1. Eat either three regular-size meals a day or four or five smaller meals. Do not skip meals or go more than six waking hours without eating.
2. Eat liberally of combinations of fat and protein in the form of poultry, fish, shellfish, eggs and red meat, as well as pure, natural fat in the form of butter, mayonnaise, olive oil, safflower, sunflower and other vegetable oils (preferably expeller-pressed or cold-pressed).
3. Eat no more than 20 grams a day of carbohydrate, most of which must come in the form of salad greens and other vegetables. You can eat approximately three loosely packed cups of salad, or two cups of salad plus one cup of other vegetables (see Acceptable Foods).
4. Eat absolutely no fruit, bread, pasta, grains, starchy vegetables or dairy products other than cheese, cream or butter. Do not eat nuts or seeds in the first two weeks. Foods that combine protein and carbohydrates, such as chickpeas, kidney beans and other legumes, are not permitted at this time.
5. Eat nothing that isn't on the Acceptable Foods lists. And that means absolutely nothing. Your "just this one taste won't hurt" rationalization is the kiss of failure during this phase of Atkins.
6. Adjust the quantity you eat to suit your appetite, especially as it decreases. When you're hungry, eat the amount that makes you feel satisfied, but not stuffed. When you're not hungry, eat a small controlled carbohydrate snack to accompany your nutritional supplements.
7. Don't assume any food is low in carbohydrate—instead, read labels. Check the carb count (it's on every package) or use a carbohydrate gram counter.
8. Eat out as often as you wish, but be on guard for hidden carbs in gravies, sauces and dressings. Gravy is often made with flour or cornstarch, and sugar is sometimes an ingredient in salad dressing.
9. Avoid foods or drinks sweetened with aspartame. Instead, use sucralose or saccharin. Be sure to count each packet of any of these as 1 gram of carbs.
10. Avoid coffee, tea and soft drinks that contain caffeine. Excessive caffeine has been shown to cause low blood sugar, which can make you crave sugar.
11. Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day to hydrate your body, avoid constipation and flush out the by-products of burning fat.
12. If you are constipated, mix a tablespoon or more of psyllium husks in a cup or more of water and drink daily. Or mix ground flaxseed into a shake or sprinkle wheat bran on a salad or vegetables.
13. At a minimum, take a good daily multivitamin with minerals, including potassium, magnesium and calcium, but without iron.
Common Acceptable Foods:
These are foods you may eat liberally as you begin: all fish, all fowl, all shellfish, all meat and all eggs. Oysters and mussels are higher in carbs than other shellfish, so limit them to four ounces per day. Processed meats, such as ham, bacon, pepperoni, salami, hot dogs and other luncheon meats—and some fish—may be cured with added sugar and will contribute carbs. Try to avoid meat and fish products cured with nitrates, which are known carcinogens. Also beware of products that are not exclusively meat, fish or fowl, such as imitation fish, meatloaf and breaded foods. Finally, do not consume more than four ounces of organ meats a day.
Ultimately remember the name of the game is to stay low carb!
Now that you have the basic "how to" for the Atkins low carb diet, you should be able to get off to a rapid start. The rules I admit seem somewhat stringent, simply trust that as your weight begins to rapidly shrivel the diet will become easier and more enjoyable. It also does not hurt that in many cases you will be able to enjoy several of your favorite forbidden dishes at a seemingly reckless quantity, all without the worry of having to spend the next couple of mornings at the gym. For additional help be sure to check out the recipe eBook I offer on the following page; it is a great tool for enjoying typically carblicious meals in a low carb acceptable fashion.
The diet indeed runs off a very intelligent method, which if not properly respected can result in a health and weight gain calamity. Use this fact as more motivation to stick to it and not let yourself stray from the path.
