In a video I recently viewed, Diana Chapman Walsh, president emerita of Wellesley College, offers her five attributes of trustworthy leadership: question ourselves, develop and attend to solid partnerships, avoid the use of force except as a last resort, value differences not only as a source of respect but as a source of creative information, and create a community.
Certainly, others may vary their own trustworthy leadership list, but I find that in leadership, as in many other areas, it all comes down to relationships. The connections we build over the course of our careers make all the difference in our individual success as well as our organization's impact.
Our quarterly Kalamazoo Nonprofit Connection – LIVE events were created as a venue for you to make and strengthen connections with your nonprofit colleagues. Along with its sibling, the Kalamazoo Nonprofit Connection LinkedIn group, they provide opportunities to meet, discuss, ask questions, share resources, and support one another.
I hope you'll stop by the upcoming LIVE gathering on Wednesday, November 20. We're here from 4:30 – 6 pm.

Sunday, May 20, 2012
LONDON (AP) -- Robin Gibb, a founding member of the Bee Gees who helped propel the group to international stardom, has died. He was 62.
Gibb's representative Doug Wright announced in a statement that Gibb passed away Sunday "following his long battle with cancer and intestinal surgery."
Gibb was one of three brothers whose soaring falsetto harmonies helped power such hits as "Stayin' Alive" and "Night Fever."
The band was best known for the influential "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack album that became one of the fastest selling albums of all time. The 1977 soundtrack came to epitomize the flashy disco era.
Gibb enjoyed a long career as a Bee Gee and as a solo artist and also produced and wrote songs for many other performers.
He appeared gravely ill at his recent public appearances and had to cancel a string of meetings as his condition worsened.

Alice In Wonderland
Travel down into the rabbit hole and take a look at our amazing collection of Alice in Wonderland costumes and accessories. Dress up as the curious and na�ve Alice or become one of the interesting characters she encounters while on her journey. We have a wide variety of Alice in Wonderland items, including outfits for men, women, children, and even pets, as well as accessories that will make you looked like you jumped right out of the 2010 motion picture.
The story follows the adventures of a girl named Alice, who is unhappy with the roles and expectations with which she is faced in her life. After losing her father and receiving an unsought marriage proposal, Alice runs away to chase a rabbit and accidentally falls into a huge rabbit hole. This hole leads to Underland, a magical world with many colorful creatures. Some of these creatures are welcoming to Alice, and they expect her to fulfill her destiny of defeating the Red Queen so the White Queen can return to power. In order to do this, she must slay the Red Queen's Jabberwocky with the Vorpal Sword - the only weapon capable of killing the monster.
Our awesome selection of Alice in Wonderland costumes includes every character you want to dress up as. You can become the adorable heroine (or even a sexy version of her). You can also transform yourself into the famous Mad Hatter character, or other interesting creatures such as the White Rabbit or the Cheshire Cat. If you want, you can even become the evil Red Queen and demand: "Off with their heads!"

Viewing 1 to 2 (2 Total)A Real Working Climax
Elroy Davis
Total Posts: 29
I had a chance to visit Clark's Trading Post in Lincoln, NH today. In addition to various gimmicky tourist type entertainment, Clark's is the home of the White Mountain Central Railway, a small collection of steam locomotives, open platform passenger cars, and a few bits of rolling stock.
Walking up to the ticket counter, I could see a beautiful piece of machinery on the other side of the fence. The railroad's motive power for the day was a Climax geared locomotive! As soon as we were through the gate, I headed straight for the locomotive to check it out. It was wood-fired, and in wonderful condition (I later found out that it is one of approximately 4 in the U.S. that are in running condition). The engineer smiled when I said something about the wood. In a northern New Hampshire accent he said "Ain' much coal in these mountains. We've got plenty ah trees though."
Our first order of business was to hop a ride on the train. The trip is a short run through "Wolfman territory". An actor plays a wild woodsman trying to attack the train. It was goofy for adults, scary for my three year-old, and probably just right for young kids. The best part was watching the Climax in action though. We enjoyed the ride enough that we took a second ride before leaving. On the second run I sat in the car (and seat) closest to the locomotive.
I only had a cell phone with me, but I captured some photos and video. These might be good modeling inspiration for someone.
After returning home, I found more information about the locomotive itself: http://www.whitemountaincentralrr.com/SteamLoco6
On a side note, the rest of the Trading Post is kind of neat too, if you like things like horse-drawn fire-equipment and trained bear shows. If you're ever in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, it's worth a visit.

re: A Real Working Climax
Wow! Great engine, and well cared for too. Down here in coal country we don't see many wood burning steamers. I'm sure the engine smoke had a sweet smell to it. I've seen Shays run but haven't seen a working Climax in person yet though the RR Museum of PA has a nice static one preserved. They're really interesting engines.

STATELINE (WIFR) -- Hundreds of needy families across the Stateline will have a hot meal to share on Christmas, thanks to a local charity. The Salvation Army says it will help 3,000 households this year. Today families could start picking up their packages. More than 3,600 toys have been collected through drives like "12 Hours of Salvation". Organizers say they are happy to provide help to those who need it most.

Emana ss is only good for files that don't want to trigger soul skills of your opponent, an example control files or refess files that don't like being disturbed when building a field aka Mid Solar Kingdom.
Refess rushes should use SP gen soul skills in spot 1 like PoM or +2SP
Lawtia rushes should use Gafc like ss in spot 1
Falkow rushes Violet or Gafc
Gowen dmg soul skills like Distrier or Asuet
Emana might be a 5*, but it is a lot harder to get a 4* from set1 than a 5* from later sets.
Get Anna and you wont regret it.

Your Opinion: Fluoridation cuts dental disease
Tuesday, December 4, 2012
Dear Editor:
Fluoridation of public water is clearly the best choice for Missouri citizens. Studies show that fluoridation of public water safely prevents cavities and saves money.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) hails fluoridation of drinking water as one of the greatest public health achievements of the 20th century.
Our nation has over 65 years of experience in safely and effectively reducing tooth decay through community water fluoridation.
The American Dental Association reports the lifetime cost of water fluoridation for an individual is less than the cost of a single dental filling. The CDC estimates that every $1 invested in this preventative measure yields approximately $38 savings in dental treatment costs.
Ending public water fluoridation may reduce expenses for the public water system, but will inevitably lead to higher dental costs for community members, as individuals and families pay for tooth fillings, extractions and emergency room services.
Tooth decay — a preventable infectious disease — is the single most common chronic childhood disease. Missouri communities cannot afford to end public water fluoridation.
As a non-profit advocacy organization with the mission of improving oral health for all Missourians, the Coalition for Oral Health supports the expansion of public water fluoridation.
While fluoride's effectiveness in reducing tooth decay has prompted many manufacturers to add fluoride to products such as toothpaste, mouth rinse, and some bottled waters, its preventative benefits are most cost-effective when delivered to all residents of a community through water fluoridation.
Fluoridation is the most practical way to prevent tooth decay. Public water fluoridation does not discriminate. It provides all members of the community with the ability to reduce dental disease.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (www.incnow.tv) – A local 14 year old boy tried as an adult and sentenced to 25 years will now have his sentence appealed by the state attorney general.
Paul Gingerich of Kosiusko County pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder in 2010 when he was 12 which was later reversed. Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller announced that his office will appeal the ruling. They believe Gingerich should have been tried as a juvenile instead of an adult.
Now it's up to the Indiana Supreme Court to decide whether to uphold the sentence.

The time has come for my new journal!
The last year I've done a lot of maturing in and out of the gym. I've relearned to stay open minded with bodybuilding. There are dozens of ways to achieve each and every goal, and following someone elses advice, even if it's the right advice may still be the wrong advice because it isn't applicable to yourself. I've learned how if you want to be the best that you can be at a given aspiration (and in my case bodybuilding) that every angle must be covered. Meaning to truly excel in bodybuilding, I have to grow and progress in aspects of life one would on the surgace seemingly think completely unrelated to the goal at hand. When you devote every ounce of energy into one goal, into the glory of potentially one day I've learned you're setting yourself up for diasater. When the first thing doesn't go according to your believed to be perfect plan there is no backup solace in life.
Theres more to life than hitting that PR, gaining that LBM, dropping that BF.
For the last 8 and half years all I have known is 7 1/2 months of intense bulking, followed by 4 1/2 of intense cutting. My cuts have been made more difficult than they need be by bulking that hasn't been focused enough. And my bulks have been less than optimally focused by cuts that have driven me to mental and hormonal insanity.
Goals I'm leaving these vague, and short purposely. I'm still very undecided on the exact route of my next year. But as general goals go:
- Get healthy and stay healthy. Right now I have a very worn out body. I have aches and tight muscles and pains all over. I need to train smarter and push myself only to my physical limits, not past them hampering recovery or potentially compromising joints etc. Additionally my endocrine system is taxed. It's is still offbalanced and skews my thinking and rationalizing. Leveling this out before making serious pushes I believe is very important.
- Maintain a leaner offseason weight
- Become more well versed in training. My training has changed very little in the 8 years I've done so seriously (other than increase in volume). I want to stay open minded and possibilty even work with specific programs
- Become more powerful, flexible and overall healthy individual. My 8 years of training has very little carry over into real world applicability. I may look better than the guy next to me, but in reality there's practically nothing outside of the gym that I've excelled myself in through bodybuilding. I love the idea of strongman and or GPP type training. Whether or not I have the time or energy/recovery to incorporate some of this realworld style training in I don't know. I would like to attempt to though.
- Be a better a friend, brother, son, coworker. I need to stay real with myself be there for others. So much of my life is devoted to bodybuilding that in the past when my family has asked a favor of me that could potentially interefere with my bodybuilding I get irritable and upset about it. I need to remember what is most important in life and that is far from any bodybuilding aspiration. Additionally I need to maintain a healthy enough year round balance that my cutting season makes an actual worthwhile employee. My productivity at work in the last two months of cutting this year was literally 1/3 at best my potential. And that is just not right. To basically cheat my employer because of my selfish ambitions to be shredded.
- Finally to just be human. To live life for once. To not be bouncing from extremes. To hang out with friends year round. To be a person who is constantly challenging himself in ALL aspects of life. Not just the gym!
That is really only a brief summary of my ambitions. I'm sure more will be iterated in time as this journal carries on.
Now for some lifting details. Right now I'm around 190lbs, 13%. Yes, that high. Am I bother by it? Minimally. I know when my hormones are whacked. I've essentially crash dieted for 8 years and never really came off it healthily. At times it's taken months to feel normal again. In the past month I've definetly improved. I have some libido, I don't think about food 95% of time. More like 30-40%. I have energy at work again. My setpoint without lifting is well over 20% bodyfat. I know this because two times in my 8 years I've gone for long stints of not lifting. Once in the fall of 2006 I stopped for 6 weeks and crept to 20ish%. And last february when I cracked my ribs my bodyfat crept up to 20-22%. In 2006 when I came back to lifting after my layoff even with 0 diet modifications my bodyfat dropped back down to 15-16%. I've also evaluated that in bulking times in the past when my volume and intensity was prepetually at it's peak I can comfortably maintain 12-13% without any real diet modifications. Once I feel more hormonally leveled out I my plan is to keep my lifting split an extensive one that keeps me in the gym often, with a few minor diet changes that allow me to 1. still live a normal life, and 2. possibly stay in the 10-12% range. I've been experimenting with an IF style of eatting as of lately. I'm not sure I will follow this to a T in the offseason but I know from the past that my body does in fact partition calories extremely well post workout. Almost mesomorphic. I think simply a shift of even some my calories to later in the day around my workouts will merit me lower offseason bodyfat alone. Whether a shift in the majority of the calories IF style will be necessary and/or net me less BF is something I am anxious to experiment with.
Lifting split If you followed my previous journal you'll know I trained extremely instinctually. I didnt have a monday "x bodypart" day or a thursday "train this" day. I simply kept the same rotation of workouts and trained the upcoming one when I felt I could. For now I'm reverting back to a standard weekly split. that will look like this
Upper back
Chest, abs
Quads, hamstrings
Biceps, calves
Shoulders, triceps
The biggest change in this split is it merges my leg training back together whereas over the last year I've trained quads and hamstrings seperately. While I think that had some advantages I also know it took a toll on my joints, especially when I was cutting. A big thing was that in order to isolate either quads or hams I was using leg X and leg curl heavily. Both of which I think took a toll on my knees and tendons. Combine that with high impact HIIT running I was doing and they're still beat up. The leg workout I have planned for the current time is power dominant. I don't think there is any question that to get my legs where I really want them to be that some serious progressive overload is going to be key. I can squat respectibly in a bodybuilding style but when opened up to a powerlifting style it's quite pathetic. I'm unbalanced in the quads vs posterior chain. The leg day I developed is simple, yet I feel appropriate. Consisting of box squats, SLDLs, then walking lunges.
I also plan to get into some foam rolling and stretching both now for rehab, but also keeping up with it for prehab.
There you have it. I have no doubt this upcoming year will be my best yet! Stay tuned!

The two candidates in the race for the District Nine House Seat in Pitt County faced each other in a forum Tuesday sponsored by the Greenville/Pitt County Chamber of Commerce.
Democrat Marian McClawhorn is running for reelection. She faces Republican challenger Brian Brown.
Both candidates were asked questions about education and the economy in North Carolina, in particular, how they would improve jobs. McClawhorn said, "I think that we would want to make the economy in Pitt County better and to have more jobs for people who want to get a job."
Brown responded saying, "You have 200 people, 200 jobs that are open right now. And they are open because those employers can't find the skilled workforce to be able to fill those positions. It's two fold, to be able to get the government out of the way, let us prosper and grow and educate our workforce to be able to do the jobs that are necessary to be done."
Both candidates argued why they are the best choice for this position. Mclawhorn says her 14-years of experience and understanding of the job are deserving of your vote. Brown said his experience as a businessman and a family man make him more in tuned to the state's current concerns.
Nearly 100 people attended today's debate.

The words "either for the purpose of this chapter generally or any particular requirement thereunder" are omitted as surplus.
In subsection (a)(5), the words "used in a geographic sense" are omitted because of the restatement. The words "either for the purposes of this chapter generally or any particular requirement thereunder" are omitted as surplus. The words "territory or" are added for consistency.
Subsection (b) is substituted for 31:1052(f) and (h) to eliminate unnecessary words and for consistency.

Duck Tape® Bridal Shower ShoesItem# 28052
Here is a fun altered pair of shoes to dress up your bride-to-be for her wedding shower!
Designed by Celeste Crockett, courtesy of DCWV®.
Clean shoes of any dirt or oil and clip any loose threads.
Begin covering the first shoe with Duck Tape®, working from the back of the shoe to the front. You can lay the tape the same direction so that the pattern is continuous, or in differing patterns.
When you have covered your desired sections, take a bone folder (or butter knife) and use it to press the tape into the space between the body of the shoe and the sole of the shoe. Trim any excess with your craft knife.
Print out the pattern below. Cut out. Trace this onto the back of your desired print twice and cut out both flowers.
Select seven petals from your box of rose petals. Cut ½" off the bottom and using scissors, and round off the edges. Take your first petal, adhere hot glue on the end and add your next petal. Continue adding petals to your arrangement, securing with the hot glue, until you have a flower formation.
Cut a 4¼" piece of black dot ribbon. Bend this in half and put it underneath your flower petal grouping. Adhere with hot glue. Cut a 3¼" piece of silver ribbon and fold this in half. Tie a knot and adhere the ends to the bottom of the flower, diagonally from where you adhered the black ribbon. Clip the ends of the black ribbon towards the center in a "w" shape. Repeat to make an additional flower.
Referring to the picture, adhere your flowers, one each, to their respective shoes slightly above the toe. Add a paper flower to the center of each and a large rhinestone to the center of each paper flower.
Finish off the shoes by tying a bow from the black ribbon with the silver dots to go on the back of your shoes. Adhere these directly to the back of shoe with hot glue. Embellish the shoes by adding any additional decoration.
Recollections™ Paper Pad, 12"x12" – Femme Fatale
Recollections™ Large Adhesive Rhinestones
Recollections™ Rectangular Adhesive Rhinestones
Ribbon, 5/8" – Black with Silver Dots
Ribbon, ½" – Silver
Wedding Petals – Hot Pink
Duck Tape® – Pink Zebra
Low Heat Glue Gun and Glue Sticks

In Minneapolis and St. Paul, it's time to build opportunity for the African American children. It's clear that all the recreational things other communities have make a difference in a youth's life. To begin with, we've got to have some real drop-in centers for these children where they can have dances and other social activities to help teach how to interact in a social environment. Maybe it's time to bring back a teen nightclub like "Mr. Lucky."
We must find ways to create consciousness, like it was when we adults grew up. Continue Reading →

Lakeside all-stars San Bernardino bound
By: Kurt Johnson, The Press Tribune
Fifth straight elimination-game win seals NorCal title
Six years ago, as his family returned to Granite Bay after watching his older brother participate in the Little League Baseball Western Regional tournament in San Bernardino, a six-year-old boy stated his intention to return to that location as a player himself. On Saturday afternoon in Danville, Nick Frank was on the mound with the chance to deliver on that dream. With a lot of help from 11 of his closest friends, Frank earned the right to play in the 2009 edition of that same tournament as Lakeside finished an amazing journey through the loser's bracket of the Northern California Division 2 tourney with a 3-2 win over San Ramon. "At the start of my 12-year-old year I thought we had a chance to get there (San Bernardino)," Frank said. "I wanted to get back there." After losing its opening game of this event one week ago, the Lakeside Major division all-stars took the hard route, winning five consecutive elimination games to earn the title. This banner joins the first two won by this group of 12-and 13-year-olds, who were unbeaten through the District 54 and Section 4 brackets before traveling to Osage Park in Danville last Saturday. The nature of the last two games was enough to give even the most even-keeled coach anxiety as Lakeside won a pair of nail-biters over San Ramon. "We knew from the first time we saw them play that San Ramon was going to be the team to beat," said Lakeside manager Bill Rockefeller. "It turned out that they were very hard to beat." In Saturday's championship tussle, Frank and San Ramon starter Josh Domingo squared off in a pitcher's duel, and except for a run of scoring in the fourth frame, this contest was largely dominated by pitching and defense. The first scoring chance went to the Bay Area powerhouse, as San Ramon jammed the bags in the second on a pair of walks and a ground ball the bounced off of Frank for an infield hit. The Lakeside right-hander was up to the task, however, as he got a comebacker from leadoff hitter Trent Kravitz to end the threat and leave the three runners out there. A two-out uprising gave San Ramon the first advantage in the top of the fourth. After Frank fanned the first two hitters, the bottom of the batting order got things going. A Zack Page single followed by a Peter Farina double put two in scoring position when Kravitz came up again, and this time he delivered with a two-run single. Rather than hang their heads, Lakeside answered right back as it had done all week long. "We never doubted that we would come back and win the tournament," said center fielder Zach Hall. "We knew we were the club to do it." After a flyout to open the home half of the fourth, Connor Briare and Grant Powers walked to set the table for Hall. With the fences at this yard set at 225 feet, 25 feet deeper than most Little League venues, the left-handed hitter got just enough of a Domingo offering to change the game and lift the fortunes of his team. "When I hit it, I thought it would hit the fence," Hall said in discussing his three-run home run. "Then I thought he (the centerfielder) was going to catch it." Neither happened as Hall's high shot to center carried beyond the barrier to give Lakeside a one-run lead. "He got it up in the air," Rockefeller said, "and the wind was pushing it back a little bit, but it had enough to get out." It would have been nice for Lakeside, and for Rockefeller's heart, if it could have been smooth sailing from there, but winning this title was not going to be easy. This Lakeside team has had a tendency to hit in bunches, and it appeared it would get more out of the fourth frame. Following the long ball, Matt Berry drew a walk, and San Ramon went to the bullpen, bringing in Sam Cabral to face Myles Slattery. The reserve third baseman beat out an infield single to create a dangerous situation, and after a bunt resulted in a force at third base for the second out, Frank had a chance to help himself. The Lakeside leadoff man delivered a sharp single back through the middle, but the relay back to the infield found its way in behind Slattery, who was attempting to return from a big turn at third base, for the final out. The escape act left the count at 3-2 with two stanzas left to play. With his pitch count heading up towards the legislated limit, Frank had his strongest inning in the fifth, setting down the side in order and preserving seven pitches for the final frame. A Mitch Hart single was the only action in the bottom of the fifth, sending the game to its decisive stanza with Lakeside clinging to the one-run advantage. Frank walked Matt Haworth on four pitches to open the inning, an ominous sign for Rockefeller, who was hoping to get as many outs as possible out of his starter. "The run through the loser's bracket takes a toll on the pitching," Rockefeller said. "Zach Hall helped a lot with his performance Thursday, but our choices were limited after Nick today." San Ramon backup Umar Farooq, batting for the first time in the game, was next to face Frank, and Lakeside's hurler got the most of his final toss of the day. With the Lakeside infield pinching the middle, Farooq hit bouncing ball back through the box and into the waiting glove of Hart. The shortstop stepped on the bag and flipped to first for a double play that eased the burden on the Lakeside bullpen. "The double play was big," Frank said. "It was my best friend." With the bases now empty and two outs, Rockefeller looked to Matt Steindorf to close things out. It was the first appearance of the entire postseason run for the right-hander, and the result was a single and a pair of walks as he battled the nerves of the immense moment. With Domingo coming to the plate in a bases-loaded, two-out situation, Lakeside made the move to the harder-throwing Dylan Keeney, looking for the difficult final out. "The hitter had not hit the fastball today and he didn't hit it last night either, so we decided to go with Keeney in the situation," Rockefeller said. "When I gave him the ball he look at me like I was crazy. I thought he was going to throw the ball back." While nervousness may have been Keeney's initial reaction, his brief relief stint was just what his team needed. A pair of called strikes put Domingo in a hole, and then the San Ramon No. 2 hitter chased a fastball in the dirt to end the game, and his team's season. "Those first two strikes put all the pressure on the hitter," Rockefeller said. "If I had walked out there an told Dylan to do it, I am not sure he could have thrown a better pitch in a better location than that ball in the dirt. It was a great location." Pandemonium followed as the Lakeside squad and many of its supporters poured onto the infield to celebrate the achievement. While other teams from this area have knocked on the door of a trip to San Bernardino in recent years, none have managed to get through the talented teams of the Bay Area since Lakeside's 2003 club visited historic Al Houghton Stadium. This group of Lakeside all-stars will now look to do that edition one better, as the winner of the Western Regional moves on to the ultimate Little League prize, the World Series in Williamsport, Penn. One of the greatest strengths of this Lakeside team should serve it well in Southern California. It is the same thing that allowed this talented group to win five straight must-win games over the last six days here in Danville. "We knew we had to take it one game at a time," Hall said. His manager agrees, and says that his team has not allowed itself to look ahead despite the history and the well-known success of the 2003 team. "We have stressed one pitch, one play, one game at a time," Rockefeller said. "(After the loss last Saturday) I knew we would win a couple of games, but pitching is so important. We got some great pitching all week and this team has great chemistry." The Western Region tournament begins with pool play as six teams (Lakeside and the winners of the state titles in Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Hawaii and Southern California) battle it out for one spot in Williamsport. Four pool play contests will eliminate two clubs, with the final four playing single-elimination to determine a winner. Lakeside opens with an 8 p.m. game Friday night against Nevada's Leagacy Little League from Las Vegas, and then faces Arizona champion Arrowhead Little League from Glendale at 12:30 p.m. Saturday. The final two pool-play contests follow on Monday and Wednesday (Aug. 10 and 12). Utah's Cedar City American is the opponent at 4:30 p.m. Aug. 10 and then Hawaii's Central East Maui Little League from Wailuku will be in the opposite dugout at 12:30 p.m. on Aug. 12. The Western Region semifinals are set for Friday, Aug. 14 and the championship game will air nationally on ESPN2 on Sunday, Aug. 16.

DP171: Dawn of a Royal Day!
this wiki
Continuing toward the Lakeside Resort and the Grand Festival, our heroes arrive in Arrowroot Town, where a Pokemon Contest is to take place that day. Dawn decides not to participate because she already has five Ribbons needed to enter the Grand Festival. Suddenly, Dawn is approached by a princess named Salvia, who is a big fan of Dawn. The two look so much alike that Salvia could pass for Dawn's twin! Princess Salvia has always greatly desired to participate in a Pokemon Contest, so she asks Dawn if they can secretly switch places for the day. That way, Salvia can compete in the Contest while Dawn assumes the duties of the princess.
As Salvia nervously anticipates the Contest, Dawn learns how exhausting it can be to cope with all the obligations of a princess! It turns out that their new roles are much harder than they expected. Meanwhile, Jessie (disguised as Jessilina) is outraged after seeing "Dawn" entering to compete in the Contest when she doesn't need the Ribbon and vows to beat her handily.
The real Dawn, disguised as the princess, oversees the Contest as a goodwill ambassador. The final round goes to Jessilina and the princess, disguised as Dawn. Although the competition is neck-and-neck, an uplifting change of heart allows the princess to win the Contest and the Arrowroot Ribbon!
Jessilina sadly reflects on her loss--until the disguised princess gives Jessie her Ribbon! This means Jessie now has five Ribbons and can turn her attention toward entering the Grand Festival. The princess bids a fond farewell to Dawn and the gang. Before they leave, the princess also gives Dawn her beloved Pokemon Togekiss to take with her on her journey to the Grand Festival!

I used spinach instead of chard and added ground chicken. It was delicious! I live with a picky adult and a four year old; both agreed it was delicious. They even said it was so good it was like they were eating at a restaurant. This is a big win!
Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
From EatingWell: January/February 2009
In this one-skillet supper, we toss dark leafy greens, diced tomatoes and white beans with gnocchi and top it all with gooey mozzarella. Serve with a mixed green salad with vinaigrette.
452 Reviews for Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
I had not previously considered pan-frying gnocchi, but have now made several variations of this recipe using chopped fresh chard, whole baby spinach or whole baby kale leaves. Once I replaced the beans/cheese with extra-lean hot Italian sausage meat - that was my favourite. I prefer the tiny gnocchetti, and make it truly one-skillet by sauteeing the veggies first (peppers are great!) then browning the gnocchetti, then adding the tomatoes and allowing to simmer with the lid on until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Done!
This is a very tasty dish which was easy to make. I like a lot of flavor, so I added extra garlic and Italian seasonings, and added red pepper flakes.
This was so good! It was easy to make. I used spinach and garbanzo beans and followed a few suggestions from previous posters - increased Italian seasonings (basil, oregano), black pepper and I used veggie broth in place of water. The hardest thing for me was the gnocchi itself. I had not cooked it but once before and it was a disaster - gummy and yuck! It took 3 times as long to cook it than this recipe said but it was worth the wait - it became light and crunchy. When the dish was finished the combination of tastes and textures was awesome! I could hardly stop eating. I will definitely be making this again. Oh, and SALT - I had to add salt - a personal preference.
Hubby approved and we even "fight" over who gets the left overs. haha

With college coaches hitting the road for the newly reinstated April evaluation period, there were more than a few high school basketball players that would emerge as hot prospects on the AAU circuit. Coach Fran McCaffery and his staff jumped on board with one of those hot prospects in the Class of 2014 this past week with an offer to forward Malek Harris."Iowa offered this past week and he already holds and offer from DePaul," said his AAU coach with the Illinois Wolves, Mike Mullins. "He and our entire front line from his team are getting a lot of high major interest."Harris is also hearing from Purdue, Indiana, Louisville, and Nebraska at this point and that list could continue to grow this spring and summer.Mullins says the 6-foot-7 forward from Orland Park, IL is a highly skilled prospect with a lot of potential."He's a really special kid. He's 6-foot-7 and has a great frame and a very high motor. He's been really productive for us in his first year with our program," he said.What separates Harris from many players is his skill set. He already has a very solid game around the basket and has expanded his game to the outside with an ability to knock down jump shots and get to the basket off the dribble."He can play inside out and outside in. He can score around the basket and he can face you up and score or take you off the dribble and score."One other attribute that Harris has is on the defensive end of the floor where he can guard multiple positions on the floor."He's a very versatile defender," Mullins said. "He can guard the three, four, or five position on the floor. He can go outside and guard people and he can go into the post and guard very well. He is also a very good rebounder." ...More...

After the armed robbery of a florist shop in Pueblo was caught on tape, police are asking for help finding the man responsible.
Police report the Flowerama located at 1244 Lake Ave. was robbed at approximately 4:41 p.m. on July 15. According to witnesses, the male asked the clerk for change and handed over a $20 bill. When the register opened, the suspect pointed a semi-automatic handgun at the clerk's head.
He said something along the lines of, "give me all the money, or I'll put a hole in your face."
The suspect grabbed some money and ran out of the store. Witnesses saw him enter the passenger side of an older model black Kia Optima. The car was parked in an alley behind the business and had a temporary tag. It drove away, going northbound on Lake Avenue.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic male, approximately 30 or 40 years old. He is about 5-foot-8 and weighs an estimated 200 pounds. He has a shaved head, dark mustache and tattoos on his right arm. He was wearing a white t-shirt, blue jeans, light colored shoes and big sunglasses.
Anyone with information about this armed robbery is asked to call Pueblo Crime Stoppers at 542-STOP (542-7867).

Beehive Yourself: have all regal celebrations come off the back of a mediocre season for Brentford?
12:13 28 May 2012
"It goes to show how little has changed at Griffin Park through Queen Elizabeth II's reign. Brentford is a club that has been neglected by its owners and suffered from years of financial mismanagement"
With the Diamond Jubilee fast approaching, Brentford supporters are left to reflect on another season that might have been. But have all regal celebrations come off the back of a mediocre season?
The summer of 1953. With the Queens coronation just weeks away, most of the country had stirred itself into an excitable frenzy. Brentford fans might have been forgiven for not entering into the spirit after a disappointing 17th place finish in the second tier.
Just six years previous, the Bees had been in the top flight; one of the countrys elite. But despite still attracting crowds in excess of 20,000, the club were on a downward spiral of which they have arguably never recovered from.
The following season, Brentford were relegated to the Third Division (South) and have since only spent one season outside of the lower leagues.
By the time the Silver Jubilee arrived in 1977, the club had acclimatised to the lower echelons of the Football League. Crowds had fallen by 75%, no surprise given the Bees had finished the season 15th in the Fourth Division.
The following season would again bring about change at Griffin Park, this time for the good. Bill Dodgin led his side to promotion and optimism was in the air that the good times may well be returning to TW8.
Twenty-five years later, the Queen was now celebrating a colossal 50 years on the throne. In the time that had passed, not much had changed for Brentford. A brief fling with the second tier had evaporated as quickly as it had arrived and by the summer of 2002, the Bees were still rooted to the third tier.
However, we had just come so close. Under the stewardship of Steve Coppell, Brentford had been thirteen minutes away from promotion before squandering the opportunity that had been served to them on a plate with all the trimmings to boot.
A doomed play-off campaign condemned the Bees to another season in the third tier and despite a minor flirtation with the basement division, that is where the club has remained since.
It goes to show how little has changed at Griffin Park through Queen Elizabeth IIs reign. Brentford is a club that has been neglected by its owners and suffered from years of financial mismanagement.
Any supporter who has seen the recent interviews with current benefactor Matthew Benham may be inclined to think that a change for the better may be on the horizon.

Oh, Bill. I never cease to be amazed by some of the things you teach me. For example, how the brutal and horrifying rampage in Norway was not committed by a Christian (despite the rambling Christianity-soaked manifesto, and your O'Reilly-esque insistence that all terrorist attacks are carried out by Muslims regardless of any indication of their Islamic faith), simply because you don't think a Christian would do that. Or like how your three visits to Africa assured you that you just can't "bring Western reasoning into the culture." Oh, and that the ACLU is second only to Al-Qaeda in how dangerous and threatening it is. And that poverty is a result being lazy and irresponsible, and if you just work hard and go to school, then, you know, you'll make bags and bags of money and be just fine regardless of anything else or circumstance. Which sounds totally on point, since you also taught me that conservatives "see things in black and white, and liberals see gray." Which sounds like nuance, and uh-oh, you've made me see that nuance makes things complicated…
And this past week, O'Reilly taught me this: "Many women who get pregnant are blasted out of their minds when they have sex and [are] not going to use birth control anyway."
(First of all, if the women O'Reilly and the men he knows are having sex with are blasted out of their mind, I'd be interested in hearing how that consent discussion went. Perhaps his definition of consent is a little hazy. Recall – if she's too drunk to consent, it's not consensual sex.)
But back to what he's taught me. With this latest statement, I've learned that women – regardless of their sobriety level – are exclusively the ones who need to be concerned with contraception and infection (and that, in fact, they do a terrible job of this). Only one person in a two-person sexual encounter is responsible for ensuring the woman doesn't get pregnant (hint – it is not the man). He's also informed me that contraception is something only considered the exact moment before a sexual encounter occurs – not hours or days or months before – just in that whisper of a moment before the magic happens. If O'Reilly had actually engaged in sexual activity with the woman he harassed, maybe he would have just crossed his fingers that she was both sober and using birth control and not have give it a second passing thought or considered it his concern. So let's all just do the same moving forward.
More seriously now – it's unconscionable that someone supposes men should be able to have sex with a woman (a drunk or sober one) whenever they want and also not have to worry about or share the burden of responsibility to avoid pregnancy. We need to utilize as many tools as we can to prevent pregnancy, and that prevention should be shared equally between the two partners engaging in sexual activity. It would be great if health insurance took the lead and incorporated 50% (or 100%, if they were so inclined) of the cost of a partner's contraception of choice into a man's health insurance plan. I think that would be even more of a fighting point than co-pays being covered under plans.
Nancy Northrup, CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, did a great job and broke it down over at CBS News about why the hysteria over insurers now eliminating co-pays for women with contraceptive prescriptions that is bubbling over is not actually all that hysterical. In fact, it's something that 28 states require to be covered by health insurance, something already covered (with those pesky co-pays) by government health insurance, and something that 99% of all women have used, regardless of religious affiliation.
Additionally, under the Affordable Care Act, virtually all of us will be required to have or purchase health insurance (a contentious point, still, largely among Republicans, but others as well). With what will be an added cost to the personal budget of many Americans, let's take a snapshot of what the cost of birth control is: the pill is up to $50 a month (over $500/year), the NuvaRing is up to $70 a month (over $800/year) $500 – $1,000 for an IUD; even the morning after pill, used if other birth control methods failed or were forgotten, costs up to $70. If you are currently one of the millions without healthcare and one of the millions without a job and an income, these costs are likely to be the first that are cut as you struggle to keep you and your family afloat. However. Pre-natal care costs, the cost of delivery, well visits for a newborn – and, you know, the food and clothing needs of a baby – are not going to be cheaper than the contraception options. Bottom line – prevention can be costly, and beneficial to all. Absence of prevention is even more costly, and frequently puts a lot of burden on all parties involved.
Remember how in O'Reilly's world everyone is super wasted when they're having sex – too wasted to worry about a condom? All these methods – the IUD, the birth control pill, the NuvaRing – can be taken or inserted well before sex. Some don't ever come out, some devices like the NuvaRing are changed monthly. This is why these are called preventive measures. You are utilizing them well before you engage in sexual activity, so when you're in O'Reilly's alcohol-soaked sex fiesta and about to engage in consensual sexual activity, pregnancy is already well on the way of being stopped in its tracks. (Not STIs, let's not forget. None of these protect against sexually transmitted diseases.) His excuse that they aren't thinking about using contraception holds no water in the argument of preventive techniques like these that take the worry about pregnancy prevention out of the immediate sexual encounter (not 100%, though – no method is 100% effective, and I actually recommend using one of these birth control methods as well as condoms). I'd also add here that many women when drunk are still concerned with pregnancy prevention, so that weasle-y move of trying to make intoxicated women look like reckless players shooting for a fertilized egg is also inaccurate.
Bill's "black and white" take on the issue of contraception seems to boil down to: women need to pay for their birth control, they need to pay for their pre-natal care costs and gynecological exams, they need to pay for the cost of having the baby. But the fetus was not put there by her alone. The desire to not get pregnant is not hers alone. Communicative partnerships and cost coverage in these areas leading to happy, healthy mothers and children would benefit everyone.

Trainers at Champions gym in Winterville say in the last few days they have seen several new faces which they say is common in January.
"They're actually starting early this year. I've already felt like traffic has picked up. Clients have been asking to get in. I'm expecting through the end of January the biggest rush of traffic, but there will be some that continue on through spring." said trainer Amber Stokes
"Men's Health" magazine suggests signing up for a pay-as-you-go plan if you're planning to join a new gym saying you can save you hundreds of dollars over a monthly contract. That's because most contracts include an automatic renewal clause so you'll be charged even if you don't go. You can also ask the manager to negotiate terms, or waive the enrollment fee to save a few bucks.
You also might score a better deal in February or March after the rush for new memberships dies down.

Tanzania Forest Services Agency (TFSA) officers have been told that they have a big role to educate farmers engaged in beekeeping to prevent bees from using tobacco flowers in production of honey.
This was revealed on Monday by Natural Resources and Tourism deputy minister Lazaro Nyarandu at the launch of a new advisory board for the TFSA.
"Most of the farmers and beekeepers in areas where tobacco is grown and in places where honey production is conducted do not understand the effects of nicotine toxin in honey production," he said.
"Make sure you use the knowledge you have to educate people on this issue and stop them from cultivating tobacco in areas where beekeeping activities are conducted. This would prevent bees from using tobacco flowers in polluting honey with nicotine toxin," he said.
"As deputy minister, my focus is just to help the beekeepers boost their economic fortunes considerably and increase exports of honey and beeswax production to the global market," he noted.
"Although tobacco is one of the major agricultural export crops, and is the main source of household income in areas where tobacco is grown, beekeeping extension and forests officers should take steps to separate operations of the two economic activities to eliminate the risks of losing foreign currency," he said.
Presently, Tanzania has a good environment for producing bee products because there are many nectar-producing plants and pollen that attract honeybees.
In addition, honey produced in Tanzania is said to be of high quality and pure at its source and has been fetching high price in domestic and global markets.
Honey is a key ingredient in food and medicine and is also used in the production of variety of products such as beer and honey wine.
