Pumpkin Streusel Bread
Pumpkin is a great vegetable. It can be used for a variety of meals. A really nice breakfast or treat is pumpkin bread. I do love it served with a brisk cup of tea. I love the aroma of the bread while it bakes. This recipe is easy and only needs 2 bowls. Only 1, if you omit the streusel topping. I usually make it with raisins (soaked in warm water for a few minutes and then drained) and chopped nuts. Since it makes 2 loaves, I sometimes put nuts and raisins in one and then nuts and chocolate chips or cranberries, or whatever, in the other. Test for doneness after they have baked for 45 minutes, just to make sure not to overbake (don't want to dry these morsels out!).
Pumpkin Streusel Bread
3 cups flour
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. baking powder
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 cups pumpkin
3 eggs
Blend together until smooth.
Stir in any of the following:
1 ½ cups raisins
1 cup dried cranberries
1 ½ cups chopped nuts
3/4 cup chopped dates
1 cup chocolate chips (YUM!)
Pour into 2 bread pans
Streusel Topping
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter
Mix together and sprinkle over batter. Bake about 1 hour at 350*.
Here is the pumpkin bread with chocolate chips. Must say, this makes one great dessert bread!

Disclaimer: We received a free meal, including dessert, as part of BD's Mongolian Grill's preview night. Our total bill was approximately $35.
Even though I had absolutely no plans on reviewing BD's Mongolian Grill because it's a chain, after reviewing Molly Cool's Seafood Tavern in Lakeville the other day and taking an inordinate amount of flak for my very constructive criticism, I figured it would only make sense to do it for BD's as well. While BD's itself is a bit larger than the Molly Cool's chain, they are both regional chains and both companies have numerous stores under their control.
We had reservations (thanks to reader "Scott" who gave me a heads up via e-mail) for 7:30 on Saturday night. We had to move plans to attend Mr. and Mrs. Marcos' annual Halloween party to a bit later to accommodate this but she graciously accepted knowing that I need to appease my readership ;) We arrived and I dropped my wife off at the front entrance while I searched for a parking spot. Outside a live band was playing to the few people hanging around the entrance. They were asking the people walking in if they had any requests but they didn't seem to hear me when I jokingly suggested "Light My Fire" by The Doors (fitting due to the chill in the air and the fact that we were all near the door, har har).
After having our reservation checked in the foyer we were permitted into the main entrance and were immediately accosted by a very enthusiastic young pre-hostess who asked us, "are you ready to mongo?!" When I countered with a blank stare and a non-committal response she said that we definitely would be after we tried the food. She then asked what I was expecting and I replied that I assumed that it would be just like all of the other BD's I have been to (Ann Arbor and one outside of Kansas City)–something which seemed to surprise her greatly. We headed up to the main hostess podium and were told that it was a 15 to 20 minute wait. We were 15 minutes early so I didn't see any issues with this and being that the restaurant was completely fucking packed, including the bar, at least it wasn't because they were farting around with empty tables. During our wait the pre-hostess came over to chat, annoying my wife, and wanted to know where these other BD's were. I answered politely but was also getting a little aggravated which I think had more to do with the fact that I was ravenous than anything else.
Right on time our buzzer went off and we were seated. I hadn't been in Macaroni Grill in years and was only there once (god it was awful from what I remember) so I can't tell if much has changed aside from the addition of buffet lines for salad and BBQ meats, veggies and toppings and the BBQ grill in the back corner of the restaurant. Our waiter brought us menus and asked if we needed any help with how things worked. He was also quite surprised that we had both eaten at BD's but didn't bother us again (although my wife did mention that our friendly pre-hostess did stop by again later to attempt to chat her up).
We eventually went up and grabbed a salad at the salad bar. While not as good as what you'd find at Ruby Tuesday's, it's pretty decent although if you're really into Mongolian BBQ I suggest you just skip it–just like you would if you went to Fogo de Chao. They had your typical toppings (mostly from the BBQ side of things) with a variety of salad dressings to go with it. Everything appeared fresh and crisp and the salad I ended up making was perfectly fine for me.
After the salad we went up to the BBQ bar and started piling shit into our bowls. Several staff members were hovering around the buffet lines and were always asking if you needed any help or suggestions. They also offer cards of suggested recipes that you can recreate yourself. Me? I like to dabble and just put on whatever I want so while my wife chose to go the card route, I just did whatever felt good. I started with a seafood stir fry that included scallops, shrimp, and calamari but for those of you interested in those offerings they had tilapia and imitation crab as well. I moved on to the vegetable line and was again asked if I needed help but piled on numerous veggies and then dry spices, oils, and sauces of my own choosing (I believe their garlic chili sauce, extra garlic, chili powder, red pepper flakes, and whatever else I saw that was spicy). After smashing my bowl down to fit everything in I headed up to the grill and was directed to an open spot by one of the staffers. I have been to plenty of Mongolian BBQ places and this was the first time that I have not had to wait in line for a spot at the grill.
The grillers were a lot of fun and were singing, chanting, and even juggling their sticks. While this is no different than what I have seen at BD's before, it was still nice to see the grillers doing that even though this was one of the first times they were open. The only issue that occurred was that the guy doing my plate almost forgot to add my sauces to the grill after the meat was cooked but before he plated my food another griller brought this to his attention and it was quickly rectified. After delivering my seafood stir fry plate to me I doused it with tons of Sriracha (they also have Tabasco, A1, Lea and Perrins, and some other stuff available if you so desire) before bringing it back to my table. The food was great. While this restaurant doesn't really have to do anything but cook your own prepared meals I was pleased that everything was done properly and that the sauces and spices tasted nice. I was pleased with my creation and even though I was pretty fucking stuffed I just had to go back up for one more.
My second trip was for a steak bowl. BD's had both NY Strip and Ribeye meat and I went with both. Onions, peppers, mushrooms, broccoli, black pepper, garlic, soy, and teriyaki were selected by me and again no wait at the grill. After plating I chose both L&P and A1 and went back to taste the food. The steak was overcooked for my liking but I suppose that's just how it works there. The meat was still tender and flavorful. Another one that I liked a lot.
After dinner my wife ordered a dessert (we didn't expect that to be free but it was) and chose their ice cream sundae with fudge (sans peanuts) and also added some caramel to it for good measure. For the first time all evening no one was waiting on us hand and foot and after nearly 30 minutes our dessert finally arrived. When my wife asked for no peanuts the waiter reminded us that if we have any specific allergies that they are happy to cook your food in the back away from everyone else's, nice. The dessert was fine, nothing fancy but it was a good size for what I believe would have been $4.
Overall the food was great and the service was a little too good. I enjoyed the experience and will definitely be returning as this is a nostalgic restaurant for my wife and I being that it was there that we had our first real date in Ann Arbor, MI. Ahh, memories. It was also nice to see a restaurant, newly opened, that had nearly no issues during the preview night. My only suggestions are these:
1. A little less on the staff hovering. It was actually a bit much–especially if you are familiar with Mongolian BBQ.
2. The only MN beer on tap at the bar was Summit. While I realize that BD's just moved their HQ to Burnsville recently, I think that they should really try and embrace some of the other great beers that could go along with their stir fry offerings.
3. Turn down the music. Between the noise of the patrons and the music, it was a bit loud inside.
So that's all I have but I'm wondering what you think. Have you eaten at BD's Mongolian BBQ in Burnsville (or anywhere else)? What did you think of it? Do you believe that their meat and vegetable offerings are superior to that of other local places (like Khan's–I do)? Whatever you have to say about BD's go ahead and comment on as I'd love to hear your thoughts.

'The plot is located in the middle of a 'montado' landscape, being the best views to the north with a lake and the skyline punctuated by cork oak trees. The house is organized in a compact volume of two floors, complemented by three courtyards all different in size and features. A first large courtyard, enclosed, intimate, situates on the south side, embracing a big existing cork oak. Next to the back entrance there is another smaller patio, for service. The third courtyard works as a key element in the relationship between home and the north side – it's a slim space with a large horizontal opening that frames the landscape – it has an atmosphere of an 'inner space outdoors', the light is soft, by reflection on the outer wall that receives direct sunlight. This vertical courtyard communicates with a staircase that leads to an open terrace, the last element of the sequence of spaces, patios and atmospheres that go from more introspective and private to more open and outside.'

Aviation and sightseeing enthusiasts will no longer be seeing a dirigible airship — one of only three Zeppelins in the world — flying in the U.S. Shortly after welcoming its 20,000th passenger, Airship Ventures announced on November 14, 2012 that it would be ceasing operations immediately.
Airship Ventures, based in Mountain View, CA, imported the airship from Germany to offer scenic flights over Northern California. Itineraries included wine country flights, operated out of the Charles M. Schultz Sonoma County Airport, and San Francisco Bay tours out of Oakland airport. Its home base was historic Moffett Field in Mountain View, where South Bay and extended tours to the Monterey/Big Sur coastline originated. Moffett Field was originally built in 1932 to house a 785-foot rigid airship and still offers hangars that can accommodate these large vessels.
The 246-foot-long 12-passenger Zeppelin NT has a top speed of 78 mph and a range of 560 miles and was completely FAA certified. Flights usually cruised at approximately 40 mph. Enthusiasts noted that this was the same model of airship that adventurer Steve Fosset piloted to set the airship speed record that stands today. The airship's cabin affords 360-degree views and uses the inert gas helium for lift and vectored thrust engines for flight.
Most will remember that the last dirigible aircraft to fly in the U.S. was the German airship, Hindenberg, which ended its flying career with a fiery crash while on approach to an airport in New Jersey. Technology has come a long way since then, and the Zeppelin NT takes advantage of aluminum and new carbon fiber materials. This new airship features three 200hp engines, vectored thrust, as well as variable pitch propellers.
This flight behemoth was built in Germany and then made the transatlantic crossing aboard a container ship. Once on American soil in Texas, the airship began flying its way west with stops in western states, until finally crossing over the Golden Gate Bridge on October 25, 2008, to begin operations in the Bay Area.

Arthritis Research & Therapy 2011, 13:R39 doi:10.1186/ar3272Published: 3 March 2011
The objective of this study was to investigate the contemporary incidence of gout, examine potential risk factors, and evaluate specific gout treatment patterns in the general population.
Using the health improvement network (THIN) UK primary care database, we estimated the incidence of gout based on 24,768 newly diagnosed gout patients among a cohort of 1,775,505 individuals aged 20 to 89 years between 2000 and 2007. We evaluated potential risk factors for incident gout in a nested case-control study with 50,000 controls frequency-matched by age, sex and calendar time. We calculated odds ratios (OR) by means of unconditional logistic regression adjusting for demographic variables, lifestyle variables, relevant medical conditions and drug exposures.
The incidence of gout per 1,000 person-years was 2.68 (4.42 in men and 1.32 in women) and increased with age. Conventional risk factors were significantly and strongly associated with the risk of gout, with multivariate ORs of 3.00 (95% confidence interval (CI)) for excessive alcohol intake (that is, more than 42 units per week), 2.34 (95% CI 2.22 to 2.47) for obesity (body mass index > = 30 kg/m2), 2.48 (95% CI 2.19 to 2.81) for chronic renal impairment, and 3.00 (95% CI 2.85 to 3.15) for current diuretic use. For other medical conditions the multivariate OR were 1.84 (95% CI 1.70 to 2.00) for heart failure, 1.45 (95% CI 1.18 to 1.79) for hypertriglyceridemia and 1.12 (95% CI 1.04 to 1.22) for psoriasis. Use of cyclosporine was associated with an OR of 3.72 (95% CI, 2.17 to 6.40). Among gout-specific therapies, allopurinol was the most frequently used with a one-year cumulative incidence of 28% in a cohort of incident gout diagnosed from 2000 to 2001. Use of gout-specific treatment has not changed over recent years except for an increase of colchicine.
The contemporary incidence of gout in UK remains substantial. In this general population cohort, associations with previously purported risk factors were evident including psoriasis, heart failure, hypertriglyceridemia, and cyclosporine therapy. Use of gout-specific treatment has remained relatively constant in recent years except for an increase of colchicine.

Kodos is right, homeopathy is not supernatural to the same extent as mediums and such, of course, but I would certainly say it falls into the supernatural arena. Homeopathy originally relied on the doctrine of 'vitalism' that is that living things are only animated by a 'vital force' and it's disruptions in this force that cause diseases, and only by correcting these disruptions can these diseases be cured. Think of the force that Luke had to master to become a Jedi, but instead of being able to move shit with your mind or manipulate people, you cure diseases that are totally not caused by germs.
Homeopathy was invented by a German man named Samuel Hahnemann, who came up with the somewhat strange concept of 'like cures like' which is really the backbone of what homeopathy is all about. Basically, the idea was that if a person has an illness you should administer to them a substance that induces symptoms similar to those of the illness that the patient already has. This process would allow their 'vital force' to attack and cure the illness. An example of this is Hahnemann using cinchona, the bark of a tree native to Peru, as a treatment against malaria. He noted that when he applied this cinchona into his system that it produced malaria-like symptoms and concluded (with out much testing) that this would do the same on anyone else. This lead Hahnemann to conclude, and I quote: "that which can produce a set of symptoms in a healthy individual, can treat a sick individual who is manifesting a similar set of symptoms'' And as we all know this ground breaking treatment has completely wiped malaria off the map...Oh, wait.
Ofcourse, if one were to give a substance to a sick person that would make them even sicker, that would seem moronic even to the simplest of morons. Therefore, his solution was serial dilution of said treatment. What happens is you take your substance that you will use to cure a disease (even though it causes the same symptoms of that disease) and you dilute it in distilled water down to a ratio of 1 part in 100. Then you take that dillution and dilute it again down to a ratio of 1 part in 100 and you repeat this process not once more, not twice more, but 28 times more. Then you will end up with a 30C solution, meaning the original substance has been diluted by a ratio of 1 part in 100, 30 fucking times. And that is just what Hahenmann thought was correct, there are some homeopathic flu remedies today that are 200C solutions. So...it's water.
He also came up with the law of susceptibility, which I won't go into now, but it basically boils down to this statement: 'If you are ill, it is due to your own negative thinking.'
So, yes, the supernatural elements are certainly there. And Almanacnamedtime, homeopathy is not used in any established medical field, hence why it is described as an alternative medicine. But what do you mean by it is 'explained scientifically'?

An eight month investigation into a fatal Covington County shooting appears to be over.
The grand jury that convened in Andalusia did "not" file an indictment in the Aaron Shaw case from last October.
Mr. Shaw was reportedly in police custody when he was fatally shot outside a Florala apartment complex.
Since Mr. Shaw was black, African American residents have raised questions about his death.
Earlier this year, the Alabama Bureau of Investigations turned over its findings to the Covington County District Attorney's Office.
Those findings went before the grand jury which did not file an indictment in the case.
News 4 was unable to contact the district attorney for Covington County.

The USD 250 Board of Education election is one of the more hotly contested races this election season, with six candidates, including two incumbents, running for three seats.
Candidates for the USD 250 Board of Education submitted written responses to four questions.
Candidates are listed in alphabetical order by last name.
LaVerne Allman
Why are you running for office?
I decided to run for a seat on the school board because I thought it would be a good opportunity to become more actively involved in education and the community. I know personally how important education is and being a mother it is something I desire for all our children; regardless of race, cultural and with an education there are no boundaries.
What is the biggest challenge facing the school district, and what would you do about it?
I think one of the biggest challenges facing the school district is continued education. Some times the children think after they graduate there is nothing else. But the children need to realize that they can go to college, vocational school, or begin working. The schools need to meet with the students and parents to prepare our children for success after graduation. Being on the school board as a member, I would be able to support those ideas and encourage parental involvement along with the school board to achieve these goals.
What are the biggest opportunities for the district, and how would you see them through?
I think many of these things have already been set in motion. But I would like the opportunity to help the district move forward.
What sets you apart from your competition, and why should voters choose you?
Page 2 of 8 - I have been lifelong resident of Pittsburg, attending local schools. I am black, single parent
with a different point of view. And being a minority I am also interested in a good education for everyone. The voters should choose me because I am passionate about the education of our children and I am a dedicated hard worker. I have worked since I was 16 and have always worked while I was still going to school.
John Clark
Why are you running for office?
I grew up in Pittsburg, attended Pittsburg Schools and I know first- hand the benefits of being educated in a pro-active and supportive environment. I have a genuine interest in the success of all students and would like to continue volunteering my time to the district.
What is the biggest challenge facing the school district, and what would you do about it?
School funding continues to be the biggest challenge. With uncertainty as to the levels of state funding our district has been very pro-active in budgeting and managing expenditures while maintaining high educational standards and top notch facilities. Pittsburg is very fortunate to have a taxpayer base that has supported improvements to our facilities through multiple bond issues and continues to enhance our facilities with the assistance of private donors. I believe we will need to continue promoting these partnerships while at the same time managing the dollars we do receive to achieve the highest educational outcome for our students.
What are the biggest opportunities for the district, and how would you see them through?
I believe the biggest opportunities for the district include staying ahead of technological advancements, improving student achievement and expanding student educational offerings. The district will continue to evaluate and improve upon the technology our staff has available to maximize student learning time and overall achievement. By continuing to partner with PSU and local Community Colleges we will expand our existing offerings of college credit courses and technical training for those students wanting to pursue a college degree or acquire skill development options that enable them to immediately enter the work force. These opportunities will be critical to the future prosperity of community.
Page 3 of 8 -
What sets you apart from your competition, and why should voters choose you?
I have a very wide range of experience having served on the Board of Directors for several business and civic organizations in the Pittsburg Community and have held multiple leadership positions within these organizations. I am open- minded, can think big picture and have a proven track record of being a balanced decision maker. I have served on the USD 250 school board for over four years and in this time have assisted the district with hiring an outstanding leadership team, promoted fiscal responsibility, supported improvements to enhance student achievement and learning and been an advocate for providing the best educational opportunities for our district. I would like to continue contributing my time to the district and would appreciate your vote on April 2nd.
Chris Curtis
Why are you running for office?
I feel like my background as an educator and the fact that I now visit schools everyday in my job give me a unique perspective as to what is working and what isn't in our area schools. I believe I can be a resource to both the board and the administration as well as a community leader.
What is the biggest challenge facing the school district, and what would you do about it?
Funding. I think that is always the answer to that question. We have to make sure we are spending our dollars efficiently. Remove unnecessary spending and prioritize what is the most important for USD 250 kids.
What are the biggest opportunities for the district, and how would you see them through?
One of the opportunities I see is some of the partnerships we've formed with local community colleges. I have some ideas for programs that would benefit both our college bound students and our career bound students.
Page 4 of 8 -
What sets you apart from your competition, and why should voters choose you?
I don't have an agenda, I'm not running because I'm mad about something, I'm not running to add the office to my resume. I can live wherever I want. I can send my kids to school wherever I want. I've chosen USD 250. I think my kids are getting a great education and I just think my background and leadership skills can benefit the district.
Joan Fields
Why are you running for office?
As my first term on the USD 250 Board of Education comes to an end, I look back and believe I have provided an effective and positive influence on the USD 250 school district. I utilized my experience in the school district, business organizations and civic community during my tenure and now have 4 years serving on the board to bring back with me. Our district has successfully navigated budget reductions and other challenges, while moving forward with improved curriculum, facilities, evaluation instruments and strategic planning. I served as Board President, Vice President and on various committees for our district at the state and local levels. I understand the time commitment and level of dedication needed to successfully serve as a school board member. I want to continue moving the district forward.
What is the biggest challenge facing the school district, and what would you do about it?
The biggest challenge is the unknown funding decisions that will come from Topeka and the resulting budget decisions. I will continue to work to provide the best education and environment for our students and staff. There are many thoughts and ideas on how to deal with the budget and I need to hear them and go a step beyond listening to finding out what the anticipated impact on our students would be. Decisions need to be made by looking at the data and asking questions to ensure we are focusing on the student impact, both in and out of the classroom. Following the different funding laws and regulations and then determining what is best for USD 250 students needs to be the basis for making budget decisions.
Page 5 of 8 -
What are the biggest opportunities for the district, and how would you see them through?
The community in which USD 250 is housed is one of the biggest opportunities we have. The level of community commitment to our schools can be seen all over the district in the partnerships that have brought and continues to bring facility improvements, the commitment of the USD 250 Foundation and the support of our various booster organizations by both businesses and individuals.
We have an opportunity in taking the challenge of having a focus school in the district and using the knowledge and skills acquired from that process to improve all of our schools. We can take the techniques learned from the process of determining what isn't working, why it isn't working and implementing necessary improvements beyond the focus school into other buildings
What sets you apart from your competition, and why should voters choose you
I have been an active member of school, civic and business community of Pittsburg since moving here in 1999 and have the experience of 4 years serving on the board. I decided I wanted to serve on the Board as a natural progression of my involvement after serving on PTO's, boosters, site councils and with other groups within the district. The more involved I became in the district, the more I wanted to help move the district forward and have it be the best district our community can offer. The school board is a seven member board that makes decisions that impact the future of not only our current and future students but the community. I understand that concept and will continue to be an effective and positive influence.
Michelle Hucke
Why are you running for office?
To me, being a school board member is an opportunity to be of service to our community. It is about serving our children, their parents, our educators, and working with administration to meet the needs of everyone in a creative, pro-growth way, with the flexibility to adapt to the ever-changing challenges we are met with. Furthermore, I understand our obligation to ensure students leave our schools being college and career ready with fundamental life skills. I will support the team I hope to work with by bringing more of a concentration to this area. With some efforts already being made with the Crawford County Workforce Education Alliance, I know I can be an asset by helping the district set and accomplish objectives through this initiative.
Page 6 of 8 -
What is the biggest challenge facing the school district and what would you do about it?
In tough economic times and being in of the poorest counties in the state; our school district certainly faces difficult decisions. I will make thoughtful determinations needed with a continued focus on achievement, while furthering our proposed vision for future growth. With tremendous projected enrollment in the next few years, we will experience growing pains. We will need to address these opportunities proactively to compensate. It is important to keep our class sizes small, so teachers have the ability to bridge meaningful connections with students and the material being taught. Lastly, one great challenge comes with our responsibility to those children living in poverty. I support an emphasis in early detection of reading disorders and difficulties so these children don't slip through the cracks.
What are the biggest opportunities for the district, and how would you see them through?
Whether they go on to college or enter the workforce as skilled laborers, our children need to be able graduate from our schools with the necessary tools to integrate into the community as productive citizens. I recently spoke with our superintendent about this very objective; it is one we share. Destry participates in the Crawford County Workforce Education Alliance on behalf of this district. This fusion of industry, business, government, and education provides the perfect opportunity to begin preparing students for careers. I wish to not only support this vision, but to be an integral part of its implementation through our role in the development of the programs decided upon by the CCWEA and the district.
What sets you apart from your competition, and why should voters choose you?
I promise to be dedicated to those within our school system and to the citizens of this area. I know that giving our students the best education possible is KEY to guarantee successful individuals and a successful community. Achieving success also means supporting educators with what is needed to accomplish goals set forth in the classroom. With many educators in my family, I identify with the opportunities and challenges they have. With difficult times to consider, and with having a big vision for the future, we need to elect bold servant-minded people, like myself, who enjoy working with a team and the community. I have the ability to listen to others and create action. I hope you trust me with your vote Tuesday, April 2nd.

Robert Wood
Why have you decided to run for office?
First and foremost, my daughters future is the reason for all I do. My life is about serving others. This is another step in that journey. I'm a third generation member of the local affiliate of Kiwanis Club International that serves the children of our community and the world. I'm a proud graduate of George Nettles Elementary School, Lakeside Middle School, Pittsburg High School, Pittsburg State University and Ball State University. I've served at many levels in my educational career and believe that my knowledge and experience can help bring great ideas to the table that support excellence in education and help support the outstanding Pittsburg school system. The best education happens when parents, teachers, and community members work together for the betterment of the future of our children.
What is the biggest challenge facing the school district and what would you do about it?
Many challenges in our school districts consist of outside influences keeping our schools from living up to their true potential. That's why my motto is "keeping it local." Pittsburg has always been my home, that's why my wife and I returned here after completing our advanced degree programs to start a practice and raise our family. Many issues are taken out of the hands of the teachers and parents and controlled by outside forces that don't know the needs of the children in our community. One big issue is properly funding education and making sure funds are used for appropriate programs, curriculum and materials that support instructional excellence. My goal is to analyze these issues, work closely with my fellow board members, and make sure students and teachers are supported.
What are the biggest opportunities for the district and how would you see it through?
Pittsburg is the educational hub of the four-state area, with an outstanding university preparing students for the jobs of tomorrow in technology, business, and numerous other degree programs. We also have many local companies that specialize in outstanding educational products sold all over the world. This makes Pittsburg unique.
Page 8 of 8 -
I'd like it all to come together much like in the degree program I developed in Indiana where I coordinated the college with local high schools and middle schools to find students interested in specific career paths. Some of this is being done locally, but I believe we can do more to get students into the university programs and coordinate those programs with business and industry. Local education and local opportunities will keep our community growing strong.
What sets you apart from your competition and why should voters choose you?
I believe my background in education is why I am uniquely qualified for this position. I worked with IU and Purdue to develop one of the first degree programs in Multimedia and Web Design in the nation. I also served as administrator for several statewide committees covering areas of IT, instructional technology, distance learning and curriculum development.
I've been a Program Chair, instructor and administrator for a college-level technology program where I managed budgets, curriculum, faculty, staff , high-end computer labs and equipment. I've been at every level of education and know what it takes to support quality school programs. My love for the Pittsburg community and my educational background are qualities that the citizens require for this school board position. I'd would consider it an honor receive your vote on Tuesday April 2nd.

Williams, Melott, Sawyer headed to bigger stage
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Claire Williams, Nick Melott and Josh Sawyer were treated like rock stars Wednesday as the trio of Central High School athletes signed NCAA Division I letters-of-intent to take their games to the next level.
With a large contingent of family, classmates, coaches and other school personnel in attendance, the three Bobcats made their college plans official at the Doug McCutchen Conference Room inside the San Angelo Fieldhouse.
Williams and Melott signed tennis deals with Texas Tech University, while Sawyer signed a baseball letter-of-intent with Villanova.
It was a very special day for the three athletes, to say the least.
"Yeah, I feel like a rock star," Melott said. "That's a good way to put it. It's the best feeling in the world. A lot of hard work is paying off."
Sawyer earned second-team honors on the All-District 3-5A baseball team this past spring as an infielder and was named to the Standard-Times' All-West Texas team.
The Bobcats went 16-16-1 overall and 6-6 in district last spring, losing to Odessa High in the regular-season finale to miss the playoffs.
During his junior season, Sawyer had a .396 batting average and seven extra-base hits. With runners in scoring position, he hit a whopping .444 and had 19 RBIs.
As a pitcher, Sawyer tallied 36 strikeouts in 38 innings with two victories and one save.
Sawyer considered playing for Baylor, Texas, Holy Cross, Angelo State and some Ivy League schools before making his decision.
"I really chose Villanova because of the academics," Sawyer said of the Pennsylvania school. "They're tops in the country and they play in a great Big East baseball conference, so those were the main decisions."
Looking ahead to this spring, Sawyer didn't hesitate before saying, "We will be in the playoffs, I will promise that right now."
Central head baseball coach Patrick Penry addressed the audience about Sawyer's signing.
"This is one guy signing and many more to come in the future," Penry said. "We're proud of you. Thanks for all the hard work."
Tennis player Williams has been sidelined with back problems this season.
This past spring, the top-seeded Williams lost 6-4, 6-2 in the girls singles championship at the District 3-5A Tennis Tournament in Odessa.
At the Region I-5A Tournament, Williams just missed out on qualifying for state for the first time by taking fourth.
She will be playing for former San Angeloan Todd Petty, an ex-Bobcat standout who was named the Big 12 Conference Women's Coach of the Year the past two seasons.
"I was looking at other places, but pretty much from the beginning that's where I wanted to go," Williams said. "The back's holding up good. I'm getting back on the court and stuff.
"It's pretty cool, considering that (Petty's) from San Angelo, too. I want to go in and try to contribute to the team and make the top six hopefully. I'm just ready to go in and work hard."
The fourth-seeded Melott upset the second-seeded Max Levine 6-2, 6-1 in the boys singles semifinals at the Region I-5A Tournament.
After losing to No. 1 seed Sanjay Goswami of Plano West, 5-7, 6-3, 6-3 in a 2½-hour final, Melott had to play a second-place playback match against third-seeded Ricardo James of El Paso Franklin.
Melott punched his ticket to state with a 6-4, 6-2 win over James, a player he had lost to twice in three previous meetings last season.
It marked the first time since 1998 that a Central boy qualified for the state tournament. The last one to do it before Melott was Petty.
At the state tournament, Melott faced University of Texas commit Nick Nauman in the first round. Nauman, who was ranked in the top 20 in the country, held off Melott 6-2, 6-4.
Melott is a three-time defending district champion in boys singles.
He'll be following in the footsteps of former Central player Jeff Bryan, who is a senior on the Texas Tech tennis team.
"Jeff's been real helpful with just kind of describing to me what the environment's like," Melott said. "And he's been such an inspiration ever since I was little.
"Hitting with him and all the other high school kids, that just kind of motivated me to get to that level."
Melott never dreamed he would end up playing college tennis on the same team as Williams.
"We've helped each other out so much since we were 10 years old practicing at Bentwood" Country Club, Melott said.
This is the second straight year for Central head tennis coach Matt Rutherford to send two players to Division I teams.
Last season, ex-Lady Cats Katy Collins and Jamie Lee Denton, who went to state together in doubles three times, signed with Texas State and Abilene Christian, respectively.
Rutherford is excited for Williams and Melott to get the same opportunity.
"They're certainly deserving recipients of the scholarships, and they certainly deserve to play at the next level," Rutherford said. "They're outstanding tennis players and hard workers, and they really represent San Angelo well and I know they will in the future."

To get my ice cream fix or when I want something sweet I have a few pints of Arctic Zero on hand. I discovered this product at the Natural Food Market a few weeks ago and I am in LOVE! I can eat a whole pint of something sweet and delicious that mimicks ice cream with no guilt! What is the big secret? It is 150 calories for the whole pint! Yes, the whole pint and they are not shy about telling you, they print that all over their products and different flavors!

That mission.
It must have taken me 30 attempts to beat that guy the first time I played. I tried swapping cars, I tried shooting out his tires, but in the end I beat him by learning to drive better. Then, he died early in the next mission making the entire attempt to recruit him pointless.
I really hope they keep GTA4's car handling in the new game. It was trickier to master, but once you did it made racing through the city much more fun than the arcadey physics of the previous games.

The attack on a Mali hotel claimed by al-Qaida may have been partly aimed at asserting the global terror network's relevance as it faces an unprecedented challenge from the Islamic State group for leadership of the global jihadi movement.
Both groups are at war with the West and committed to the revival of an Islamic caliphate, but they are furiously divided over strategy and leadership, and have battled one another in Syria.
The attack on the Radisson Blu hotel in Bamako, which killed 19 people, came exactly a week after the IS group's carnage in Paris, which killed 130 people in the bloodiest attack on France in decades.
The Mali attack, claimed by al-Qaida and a...

One in a Million: The Law Library Digital Repository
You may have heard that last week our digital repository hit it's millionth download. For a law school repository that's only two and a half years old, that's pretty impressive. But this may also have you wondering: what in the world are all these people downloading?
Digital repositories are most often thought of (and rightfully so) as storehouses for faculty scholarship, as a place for showcasing the research interests of the faculty. Along similar lines, the next thing most people think of in a digital repository is a showcase of student scholarship, such as doctoral theses or award-winning papers. In the world of law library repositories, people often add to this list issues of the law school's journals and law reviews. Our Law Library Digital Repository has all of this, and more.
Not only does our Repository showcase faculty and student publications, we boast the entire run of all journals and law reviews that have been hosted by our institution. And these three categories don't even make up half of the collections in our Repository. It's when you get into these other collections that you can find some really surprising documents. For instance:
- In the Law School Publications collection, you might be interested to find the Indiana Flaw Journal, a student-produced satirical publication on law school life, originating in the 1940s and ending in the 1960s.
- Remember our last blog post, about that certificate of the Hundred Days Men, purportedly signed by Abraham Lincoln? In the Law School History and Archives collection, you can see the document and read all about it.
- Did you know that the Law Library used to have a monthly newsletter, Res Ipsa Loquitur? Yes, you can read all of those as well, in the Law Library Publications collection. (I especially recommend the April issues, annually inspired by April Fool's Day.)
- Finally, if you have missed out on any of the law school's special events throughout the year, check the Repository's Lectures, Conferences, and Events collection to see if materials have been posted there. (We have a wide array of publications based on our visiting lecture series, for example.)
The best feature of a digital repository is that it is freely accessible, not reliant on personal accounts, paid subscriptions, or proxy server access. Anyone in the world, anywhere in the world, can access the full-text of our faculty's recent work, any issue of our school's journals, and law school historical publications and documents whenever and wherever they want. If you would like to keep up-to-date on new additions to the Repository, you can request email or RSS notifications.
Fun fact: Our most popular download? A book review of Lon L. Fuller's The Morality of Law, reviewed by Edwin W. Tucker. (40 Ind. L.J. 270 (1965)) (Most popular as of March 10, 2014, based on the average number of full-text downloads per day since the review was posted on the Repository.) The top ten downloads can vary, but the most recent top ten can always be found here.

Tuesday, on a full moon. I had been feeling crampy all day – well, around lunchtime I knew something wasn't quite right. By the time I got home from work, I knew something had been changing. After a quick run to the store (I even posted about that in my blog!) I was in the bathroom and my water definitely broke. They say some women may not realize it but I was positive.
I called my mother, since Ash was at flag football practice. Ash had chosen not to take his phone; the phone he got specifically so he could be reliable and reachable. I said to him on his way out how it wouldn't matter if he took it with him! I called his friend, who I knew was with him at the fields, and told him to tell Ash to leave as soon as possible.
Luckily, I had packed my hospital bag this past weekend and it was basically ready, aside from the camera, the birthing ball, and a few other minor last minute items.
We got into the triage waiting area by about 9. I started having minor contractions about 5 minutes apart. They mostly felt like cruddy menstrual cramps but each one lasted only about 20-30 seconds. After triage examined me and saw that I had dilated one centimeter, I was admitted and taken into the labor and delivery room. The good thing about Tallahassee Memorial Hospital is that their womens' pavilion is awesome and the L&D rooms feel so comfortable; tv, dvd player, rocking chair, Jacuzzi tub and mood lighting.
One of the doctors from my practice came in to talk to me and he evaluated me and whatnot. He was very friendly and reassuring, as I worked through each contraction between our discourse. The nurse got me all set up on the monitors and I labored for about two hours before they got bad enough for me to want to get in the tub. I started shivering really bad at this point and the contractions were becoming more intense. At some point, my recollection becomes a little hazy.
My pain became pretty bad and all the breathing techniques I knew from yoga and childbirth class sort of flew out the window at one point as my body took over on pain management. Somewhere, something took over and my body writhed to work through the contractions. It felt sort of like an out of body experience; I think I shut down for a little there because I knew Ash was there and talking but I cannot really visualize it. I had really bad back labor so the best position for me was lying on my side, straightening like a board each time the wave of abdominal tightening hit me.
I have to say, for all the planning you do for the perfect labor, it all just sort of happens the way it will. At one point, they gave me one of the minor pain meds and that took the edge off for about an hour. It also made me throw up once.
After six hours on my own and dilating a mere two more centimeters, I finally had to give in and request the epidural. I was afraid for many reasons but none of those presented themselves at the time. Before labor, I wanted to go natural because I felt I could – I was capable. And Ash and I had been sold on it being more harm than good. So in a way, I wanted to go without because I didn't want to let Ash down, as silly as that is. Of course, after he watched me work through such tremendous pain, he was as supportive as he could be when the tech came in and began to administer the epidural. I do remember him being very talkative and soothing. You have to be stone still while he's inserting the needle and I was amazed at the power of mind and body as I sat there, not moving like I had done for each other painful contraction. I don't really know how I did it.
Once the medicine flowed through me, I sat and watched the EKG chart my contractions – they looked like ginormous earthquake readings and I couldn't feel a thing, including my legs. Which I knew happened but was still weirded out by. I felt so good at this point that I had Ash open the blinds and I got to see the sunrise. Ash got a few hours of sleep, I dozed off, and all was well. Ash got up by 6 and went home to shower and take care of the dogs. Meanwhile, I dilated to 10 centimeters and by the time he got back to the room, I was told I could begin pushing.
The thing about the epidural is that it takes away the pain but not all the pressure, so you wait for the contraction to come – and, as my awesome nurse said, "wait for it to bite" – and then you bear down. She kept telling me to push into this one area but it's not like you can just order your body – which is half numb anyway – to do that. So it's more like a mental focal point. Once I got the hang of the bearing down/breathing in and out routine, things really progressed. They keep a mirror in the room so you can see what's going on and I really didn't want to watch. However, it was actually really helpful because seeing how much he was coming out compelled me to push harder and get the little guy into this world!
Elliot Michael was born Wednesday August 29th at 9:45 AM. He weighed six pounds eight ounces and measured twenty point five inches long. He scored a 7 and 9 on his APGAR.
Ash got to help deliver him – with his bare hands! – and also got to cut the cord. During pregnancy and whenever I watched those baby shows on TV, I never thought I'd want them to thrust my baby on my chest right as he was born but it was – honestly – one of the greatest feelings of my life. Some women worry that they won't instantly love a new baby but for me, it was love at first sight.
While the nurses cleaned him over across the room – excited new father looking on – the doctor delivered the placenta and gave me one stitch for a minor tear.
I was so very glad it was over and I definitely like him better on the outside than the inside! I spent two days in recovery, sleeping, learning how to breastfeed, taking calls from friends and family, eating pretty good hospital food, and regaining strength. Birthing a baby is a pretty hard task but I'll tell you what's harder: the realization that your Whole World Has Changed Forever.
He's four days old now and I love him more with every touch of tiny toe, every feeding, every glance at the video monitor. Being a mom is going to be wonderful.

I keep hearing snippets about a new Babylock called the Symphony. Anyone have a pix? or a brochure? Sure would like to know what it can do! Thanks
I was at my local sewing store today and to my surprise the Symphony was sitting on a table near the front door! It looks very similar to the Espire. The owner told me that the Symphony was released early because dealers were selling out of the Espire but Baby Lock has already stopped making it. I took some pictures with my cell phone. Sorry they aren't of better quality but I wasn't prepared to see one in person and I took them while holding my daughter. Enjoy!
-- Edited on 6/28/10 7:32 PM --
This has probably been released in conjunction with the Brother Laura Ashley NX-2000 model.
Yea, I remember the owner mentioning a July 1st event for the Symphony.
Thanks for posting the pictures. Take off the word Symphony and it looks just like the Espire. I was hoping for a color screen. Looks like my wallet is safe .
I was talking with my BL dealer about Symphony, but she didn't know what the changes were over the New Espire. Unless the Symphony has built-in IDT, I'll stick with my New Espire. I'm very interested though to know exactly what the new features are!
------I heart Woo (HimmyCat). Until we meet again, my beautiful little boy. I love you.
Looks like an interesting machine.
Damn shame we just don't get the Babylock sewing machines models over here in the UK, only the sergers and a few basic sewing machines. Some of the threads on your Babylock machines I read make them sound really tempting.

October 10, 2012 marks the 1 year anniversary of the death and passing through the astral plane of Al Bielek, a conspiracy theory icon known for his contribution to the legends of the Philadephia Experiment and the Montauk Project. Bielek claimed he began recovering memories of his involvment in the secret U.S. government research programs after seeing the movie The Philadelphia Experiment in 1988. He went public in 1989, and cemented his legend in a classic interview with Art Bell on Coast to Coast AM in 1993.
While serving as a Navy engineer during WWII, Bielek claimed he witnessed the events of the legendary Philadelphia Experiment(s) of 1943, in which it is alleged the U.S.S. Eldridge, while docked in the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, was rendered invisible during the initial experiment, then accidently teleported to Norfolk, Virginia in the follow-up experiment . According to legend, upon the vessel's reappearances some sailors on the ship experienced strong psychological disturbances, while others were tragically embedded into the metal structures of the ship. … Read the rest

Burton mum-to-be wants more support for MS sufferers
Posted: August 22, 2014|
A BURTON woman with multiple sclerosis is calling for more support to assist with those diagnosed with the condition.
Rebecca Perry, who lives in the Regents Park estate in Branston, says that she is struggling to get access to funding and support that she is entitled to because the disease does not usually lead to any visible signs of a disability. Rebecca says that more can also be done to educate others on the condition so that they are not as quick to judge.
She has spoken out after reading the story of Sophie Lewis in the Mail, who also suffers from multiple sclerosis and was confronted by members of the public in the town for using disabled parking spaces despite carrying no obvious signs of a disability.
People with MS often appear fine, however it affects their mobility and can lead to problems with balance as well as extreme fatigue.
Rebecca says that she has struggled to get support for her condition from various groups, including Trent and Dove housing and often has to seek help from East Staffordshire Citizen's Advice Bureau to gain her entitlements.
She told the Mail: "It's quite hard to receive funding because there's no visible sign of having a physical disability, so often people don't think that you are disabled, which is not the case at all.
"I'm finding that I'm increasingly having to nag the relevant bodies to get what I'm entitled to and I think that people who are diagnosed with multiple sclerosis are often ignored. In my opinion it's not right."
Rebecca, who is currently pregnant, has also had trouble trying to claim benefits. Her husband does not want her going out to work after she suffered a miscarriage during her last pregnancy, which led to a relapse in her condition.
She said she has applied to claim jobseeker's allowance but was refused because her national insurance contributions over the last two years have been insufficient.
Rebecca continued: "I asked them about the contributions I made before when I was working but that wasn't enough. I just think that more could be done to support people like me."

The wave of knowledge sweeps you along
And takes you to a shore
Where truth is prayed ignorance slayed
And intellectuals are adored.
The kite of desire to learn and serve
When flies high uninterrupted
The bliss of satisfaction pacifies your soul
People's blessing makes you feel respected.
Showers of happiness when washes away
All miseries and pain of yours.
You're present to the miracle of the life
That hides in the shadow of remorse.
Life's a reward,
Find peace in chaos
Get acquainted with its beauty and
Let yourself flow

Hp 2000-140ca notebook wireless adapter problem
I've had my HP 2000-140ca since about June 2011
Today I woke up to find that my harddrive was fried. I knew this was coming as error messages came up lately, and I had backed up important files in advance. While not the reason I'm posting this, I am extremely disappointed in the length of time the harddrive lasted.
Anyway, since I can't afford to be without the laptop for the length of time it would take to send it away to have it "fixed" under warrenty (basically any amount of time at all) I decided to just buy a new hard drive and deal with it myself.
Hard drive replaced, windows 7 64 installed, many drivers downloaded and also installed. The one problem I seem to have now is that for some reason the wireless driver refuses to install. I've downloaded several different versions as there's a few for this model on the site but nothing seems to work. It just won't detect drivers and when I run the downloaded file it seems to install initially but then fails to do anything. I'm at a loss here and am already suffering the loss of a portable computer.

Do you know what wireless adapter it is?

But when I host my images in imgur, Corona does not recognize those images as featured images. Is it possible to correct this problem? July 6, 2012 at 7:09 pm #81481 DevinModerator Hi mertnuhoglu, It doesn't look like the slider(and theme) is able to use linked images since it needs to have control of the files to resize them and then use the resized images for the various features. I'll report the issue to Kriesi to see if he is able to do anything as far as a workaround or change to accommodate linked images.
