Kenai Peninsula Pop Warner: Team Managers
Team Mom/Manager Corner
Hello and Welcome to the 2013 Kenai Peninsula Pop Warner Football and Cheer Association. Please consider volunteering for your child's team this season. The KPPW League has compiled the following list of duties for this important position. There is full training and support for you!
Team Books – TM is responsible for maintaining the team book that holds the player certification card. This card documents player information including
· head shot photo – done by KPPW photographer
· official weights – done at first practice and prior to each game by volunteer parent
· copy of 4th quarter report card – needs scholastic matrix and f/u if below min 2.0 at start
· certified birth certificate copy – on file for returning players, must see original if new player
· sports physical- must be on official PW form; highlight allergies/medical conditions for coach
· parent/player contract – parent/emergency contact information (in case of injury, late for pick up after practice)
Most of this paperwork will be compiled for you by the first practice as parents send in their forms from online registration. TM is responsible for ensuring all forms are in place and bring book to each practice and game.
Game Day Volunteers – At each game you will need to have the following number of volunteers. Click here for Volunteer form template for assigning parents. ALL parents are required to volunteer at games as assigned. If they are unable to assist on date assigned, THEY are responsible for finding a replacement or switching with another parent. You just assign them in random order. (Exception: some parents only want to do one job such as first aid, MPR, chains or weigh in's at every game. This is acceptable and they get taken out of other rotations except for drinks/snacks)
· weigh-ins (2) – responsible for documenting weights of home/visitor teams ½ hour prior to games (documented in Team Book on player certification card)
· MPR's (2) – minimum play requirements volunteers document players get in all their plays
· First Aid (1) -keeps first aid kit on sidelines and applies ice pack and bandages to injured players
· Snacks (1) Drinks (1) – parents needed to provide simple refreshments for teams, may use water cooler filled with powdered Gatorade/PowerAde with cups
"AT HOME" games will also need the following volunteers (click on title for demo video)
· Chains – chain gang is 3 volunteers that move ball and down markers up and down the field (usually a dad/mom/uncle/grandparents/high school age brothers/sisters)
· Scoreboard – runs the scoreboard at the games
· Announcer – plays canned "welcome" over PA system and introduces the team players by name
Team Photos - KPPW photographer will contact you regarding time/date of your photo session
Team Roster/MPR form – TM must bring a prepared form for doing MPR's to each game with 2 copies, one for home team and one for visitor team. Another copy of roster with pronunciation clues of player's last name for the announcer is requested. TM also ensures the coaches sign off on the MPR forms at end of game and return forms to Board member assigned to game.
Communication – communicating with the team is the most important part of the job. You are the voice of the coach and association for practice/game schedule changes, reminders and updates. KPPW has a new Smart Message link on the website for your use to send mass emails, phone texts etc. Encourage patience and FLEXIBILITY with your parents as game schedules change frequently. We are scheduled by Anchorage Pop Warner and due to many unforeseen circumstances schedules just change. If you warn parents early and tell them to EXPECT it, things go more smoothly. This is not a professional organization; we are all volunteers doing the best we can. Parent's biggest complaint is having to be at several places at one time due to scheduling and multiple kids/players on different teams. This is out of our control and they need to involve spouses, other family members and friends in getting all players to games as needed. Again, early communication is essential.
Anchorage Jamboree – the first scrimmage game of the season is called the Jamboree. It is usually held in Anchorage and gives new and returning players a chance to get past first game jitters in a safe and fun way. Each team plays 10 plays for about 20 minutes in full pads/gear. We may possibly set this up with Homer Association, TBA
Year End Party – TM is responsible for overall planning and organizing trophy party for team along WITH the parents. Assign one parent to be in charge of collecting money and ordering trophies with players name on it, and another for polling parents on what they want to have for the party. This is TEAM organized, not Association.
Training for Team Moms/Managers will be held about 2 weeks prior to start of practices. Director of Team Moms will give you a power point presentation on all aspects of forms, rules, tips and certification timelines. Books will be handed out with most forms already in place. Final/missing paperwork needs to be collected at first day of practice. Easy to follow book templates are included for organization.
Good communicating, computer and patience skills are required for this job. The payoff is meeting great new people and other parents in the community, making new friends. KPPW is here to support your efforts every step of the way!

Reviews by Danielpf1
A very good storyDanielpf1 | Dec. 29, 2014 | Review of The Wolf Among Us - PC
The wolf among us will lead you into a story that is both refreshing and familiar. It gives you all the fairy tale characters you know but puts them in a urban envirement. It is quite the interesting idea to have a prince live in small apartment. The art style of this game is different from the other telltale games and helps sell the uniqueness of this game as well. It looks good and fits the story Game mechanic wise, it is very basic. A point and click with quick time events, however it fits the main purpose of this game, the story. If the idea of fairy tale characters in the real world isnt interesting enough to convince you of this game. You should know that the story is a really good whodonit kind of game, complete with all the obvious but also small (and easily missable) small hints. Looking back, you can figure out how to murderer works, however you will most likely miss it untill the game tells you. Since I dont want to spoil, I leave it at that. The main characters is well designed and you will slowely start to like him. He does go through some character progress, however an other character changes way more. Small note: This code does not redeem on steam, just in case that is important to you
Killing orcs, decent story, and killing more orcsDanielpf1 | Nov. 1, 2014 | Review of Middleearth Shadow of Mordor - PC
Let me start with the story. It is decent, not surprising but has some deep layers which cannot be discussed without spoiling the stories. Beside that it is you standard revenge story. However that is not the strong suit of the game. The combat system is the meat of this game, with its superb implemented arkham fighting style and great executions moves it stays fun just to roam around getting into huge fights and eventually end up dead generation a new nemesis which you are compelled to go after. You either hate it, or love it depending on your opinion of the fighting system. As an arkham veteran I fell in love with this game from the start. Besides that, looks good even on an older pc (4 gb ram and gtx 550 40 fps on low). Maybe not worth 50 bucks however with all the 25 percent voucher it is well worht it
Doesn't live up to its prequel, but decent on its ownDanielpf1 | Nov. 1, 2014 | Review of Dragon Age 2 EU - PC
Everybody has heared of the black sheep among the bioware RPG's. However it is not that bad. DA:O was (IMHO) in the top ten of best PC games every made, and dragon age 2 had a lot of expectations to meet. Let me start of with the things that are good about this game. First of all the story is still good and has quite some throwbacks at dragon age origins, for instance Merril showed up as a companion and the whole dalish clan from the dalish origin showed up in this game. Anders also returned from awakening. Besided that it seems to be the bridge between DA:O and DA:I. THe second thing concerns the combat system, it is more fancy and feels more responsive however later on in the game, when the new wore off, it became just a waiting game. Now the bad things. Far less loot/gear, sometimes the game take you loot away by initiating a cutscene. Companions dont interact with you anymore as they did in DA:O. Way easier then the first game even on higher difficulties. Quite short for a RPG. However if you never played origins or just you just forget about origins and treat it as a stand alone or different game in the same universe, it is acutually decent. TL:DR: If you haven't played origins: decent game with interesting story If you played origins: Better fighting, still good stories /w throwbacks. Only if you treat it independently of origins
A must play in everyones bookDanielpf1 | Nov. 1, 2014 | Review of Dragon Age Origins EU - PC
This game is everything you expect from bioware and more, it offers solid game mechanics, interesting main character/origin story, amazing universe/companions/story telling and as you would expect numerous choices without a clear difference between the right and wrong desicion. Mechanically it is everything you expect from a RPG. Full character customization, your standard classes, (warrior, rogue and mage), three different races with at least 2 different backgrounds each. The game contains a lot of loot, strong enemies and has a good varity in what it throws at you. The story has some plot twist and allows you to determine if the plot twist actually occurs etc. TL:DR If you are interest in an amazing story and solid gameplay and have 5 bucks to spend, then this is a must have
Decent, may drag on at the endDanielpf1 | Aug. 7, 2014 | Review of The Bureau XCOM Declassified - PC
If you have never played a Xcom game, like me, this might be a good game to get you interested in the franchise. To be clear, this game is a third person shooter and not a TBS. However it gives a lot of background to the other XCOM games and shows the first invasion by the outsiders. The story of this game is interesting enough for the 8-10 hour experience. It has rather good plot twists and interesting enough characters, but it contains some plot holes you might want to look up afterwards. Furthermore, the story is decent, not incredible but its not your standard alien invasion story. The gameplay is another story as this game is a third person shooter. First of all it does contain a FOV-slider, which is really nice since the base FOV is 75. The combat itself is serviceable but not great, the cover system is a bit clunky and the AI sidekicks tend to get themselves killed in the most hard to reach places if you dont order them into cover. The ability system works fine, much like mass effects system, however a bit slower. The weapons are good, however the alien weapons are just an upgrade to the human weapons, as soon as you get access to one, you can forget about the human version. The alien weapons are just better, without being worse in some respect.
A beautifull game and a grim storyDanielpf1 | Aug. 6, 2014 | Review of Spec Ops The Line Overflow - PC
This game has one of the better stories among the games released in 2012. It starts you off as captain Walker, accompanied by two squad mates which keep making silly jokes. First you will notice that this game looks astonishing. In my opinion it achieves battlefield kind of graphic quality without tanking on your pc (pay attention to your shadow, its just the best). Secondly the story will pretty much grab you as you try to discover what happend in dubai, with good plot twists and excellent writing. The character develepment troughout the game if phenomenal and makes you want to keep playing to see how things develop. But its the brutality of war that makes this game special. For once this isn't a game that praises the militairy like COD en BF, it shows the devestation it leaves and what it does to the best people. Forcing you to take certain actions and fighting American soldiers while civilians move around the same room, makes you wonder if what you are doing is fine or not. You will never feel entirely happy about what you are doing, but you have to do it just to survive. TL DR: Good graphics, interesting story which doesnt praise the militairy or war, but shows the dark side, and pretty decent combat system
Only if you get hookedDanielpf1 | Aug. 4, 2014 | Review of Brothers A tale of Two Sons - PC
After hearing a lot of good comments and seeing all the hype surrounding this game, I decided to check it out. After playing the game to completion I was left with a weird feeling, I didnt think this game was special in any respect other then the different controls. Let me elaborate. When starting the game I noticed one thing, the whole story depends on non spoken cutscenes, which is great since it makes you engage the story on a whole other level then you normally would. The graphics also help in this regard since it has a very good looking graphical style and never really gets boring or repetative. The story as well is decent enough, nothing spectecular but also not modern FPS bad. It has its (predictable) plot twists and decent ending, however not entirely unsurprising. Now to the part why I think this game isnt that great. First of all the length of the game, its only 2 hours long, even if you mess around with other stuff, trying to get the achievements and things. Normally this wouldnt be a problem, if the gameplay was really good and fun, which brings me to the second problem. After roughly 20 minutes you have seen everything there is to see about the mechanics. Yes some stuff gets introduced later on, but if you dont like the way the game handle after 20 minutes, you might as well quit. Its not that the mechanics are bad, its just that they are overcomplicated (appareantly on purpose), just that they get repetative after a while. And since your actions dont do anything special, just lifting carts or climbing ladders, it gets really dull after a while. Also the puzzles in the game are not to complicated. Usually I like this, since I hate puzzle games, but I do like a bit of challenge, which this game is lacking. So overall. It just comes down to taste. I wouldnt recommend buying this game based upon any review or first impressions video, just watch the first 20 or so minutes on the internet and then decided if its worth it. Because if you dont get hooked, it turns out to be just another game that does something a little different, which last 2 hours and leaves you with a somewhat preditable story,

NFL Week 4 Picks: Falcons over Patriots, Saints stay undefeated
Before I get to my Week 4 picks, I need to talk about what I learned in Week 3 and here's what I learned in Week 3: I need to watch more Browns games. I never thought I'd type that or think it or admit to thinking it, but I'm doing all that right now.
In the Browns game on Sunday: there was a fake punt, a fake field goal and someone named Brian Hoyer threw three touchdown passes. Also, I'm thinking about picking up the Browns holder for one of my fantasy leagues, mainly because he has as many touchdown passes as all the quarterbacks on Jacksonville combined. His name is Spencer Lanning, in case you decide you want a holder to be your fantasy starting quarterback too.
Before we get to the picks, lets talk quickly about strippers and party busses. If you ever find yourself on a party bus with a stripper, make sure all adult beverages are kept in a styrofoam or plastic cup, that way nobody goes home with a bloody head. Jacoby Jones knows what I'm talking about.
That advice had nothing to do with football, but it's a life lesson I felt we needed to discuss. Now lets get to the picks, including the first and probably last-ever Sweet Pea Special.
If you want to make fun of me for all of the wrong picks I made last week or if you just disagree with my Week 4 picks below or if you want to recommend a good party bus-stripper service, be sure to let me know in the comment section or on Twitter.
Anyway, lets get to the picks. And don't forget, you can check out the weekly picks from every CBSSports.com NFL expert here.
Week 4 picks
Pittsburgh (0-3) at Minnesota (0-3), 1 p.m. ET: If the Vikings lose this game and fall to 0-4 and the loss is Christian Ponder's fault, there's a 50 percent chance the following situation happens, "Um, Christian, we can't find your passport. You're going to have to stay in London until you find it. And if you don't find it until December, specifically Dec. 30 when the NFL season ends, that's fine. Really. That's OK. We'll use Cassel or something." Keep an eye on your passport Christian Ponder. Keep an eye on your passport. Steelers 24-20 over the Vikings.
(Sweet Pea special) Chicago (3-0) at Detroit (2-1), 1 p.m. ET: If you're a Lions season-ticket holder, Sunday will mark the first time you've seen a game between two teams with winning records since Thanksgiving 2011. In between, you've basically seen a bunch of bad football. That bad football ends with this game and the Lions will move into a tie for first in the NFC North with a win. Lions 30-27 over the Bears.
NY Jets (2-1) at Tennessee (2-1), 4:05 p.m. ET: I have Geno-fever. Actually I have a cold, but I'm calling it Geno-fever so I have a reason to pick the Jets this week. I'm not completely sold on either of these teams, so I'm going to go with the team with the better defense and that belongs to the Jets. Also, Jake Locker has been playing too well this year, he's due for a letdown. Jets 20-17 over the Titans.
New England (3-0) at Atlanta (1-2), 8:30 p.m. ET: In three games so far this season, the Patriots have gone up against two rookie quarterbacks and Josh Freeman. Not exactly a murderer's row. This will be the first time the Patriots have seen a somewhat functional offense and I say that somewhat functional, Steven Jackson-less offense does just enough to beat New England. Falcons 34-30 over the Patriots.
Miami (3-0) at New Orleans (3-0), 8:30 p.m. ET (Mon.): Drew Brees hasn't lost a Monday night home game since October 2008. Usually, that would be enough to sell me, but -- wait, Brees is 7-0 in his last seven Monday night appearances too? And this is Ryan Tannehill's first Monday night game ever? And Tannehill's on the road at the Superdome? Fine, I'll take the Saints. Saints 31-24 over the Dolphins.
Week 4 Picks: All the rest
Bengals 31-20 over Browns
Buccaneers 20-17 over Cardinals
Raiders 27-24 Redskins -- This pick might change if Matt Flynn is Oakland's starting quarterback because I'd never want to knowingly pick Flynn to win a football game. Terrelle Pryor suffered a concussion in the Raiders loss to Denver on Monday.
Byes: Green Bay, Carolina
Last Week
Best Pick: If there's one thing I've always said, it's 'always pick Aaron Rodgers to win unless he's playing against a red-headed quarterback.' Actually, I've never said that, but I did pick the red-headed quarterback in Cincinnati to beat the Packers and the Carrot Top Cannon came through. Thank you, Andy Dalton. And thank you too, Bengals defense. You helped a little bit.
Worst Pick: Last week I learned an important lesson: never pick a winless team playing on the road to beat the Patriots. Especially if that winless team is about to mutiny against its coach. That's right, I picked the Buccaneers over New England. I regret it. Kind of like Greg Schiano's going to regret leaving the college game to coach Tampa Bay.
Straight up: 9-7
SU overall: 33-15
Against the spread: 9-7
ATS Overall: 25-23

Ground-water-quality appraisal of sand-plain aquifers in Hubbard, Morrison, Otter Tail, and Wadena Counties, Minnesota
Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4080
- By:
- C.F. Myette
- Document: Document (pdf)
- Download citation as: RIS
AbstractWater samples were collected periodically from 124 wells completed in sand-plain aquifers in Hubbard, Morrison, Otter Tail, and Wadena Counties, Minnesota, during a 3-year study that began in October 1979. The study determined baseline groundwater quality, provided data for evaluation of trends, and investigated seasonal variations in concentration of selected chemical constituents. The ground water is predominately a calcium bicarbonate type with low to moderate concentrations of dissolved solids (77 to 710 milligrams per liter), and is chemically suitable for most uses. In local areas, concentrations of nitrogen, iron, and manganese exceed limits recommended by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for drinking water. Comparison to historical data indicates a trend towards local degradation of ground-water quality, which is attributed to the accumulation of nitrogen within and immediately downgradient from several major agricultural areas. Seasonal and annual variations in concentrations of some chemical constituents are related to ground-water-level fluctuations caused by recharge. At the Staples Irrigation Center near Staples, Minnesota, concentrations of nigrogen, chloride, and iron differ significantly with depth, which suggests local chemical stratification within the aquifer at least several hundred feet downgradient from the Center. The stratification exists throughout annual cycles, and is most pronounced during periods of little recharge (winter months). (USGS)

Newspaper article Coffs Coast Advocate (Coffs Harbour, Australia)
Gene Linked to Fat Storage Capacity
Article excerpt
EDINBURGH (PA): Some people are fatter than others, even when they eat similar food, because of genes that encourage fat storage, according to a new study.
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh identified a number of genes in fat tissue that may lead people to retain weight unnecessarily in the body.
They hope the discovery could eventually lead to the development of medicines targeting obesity.
Scientists compared fat tissue from mice that had been selectively bred for many generations to be increasingly fat or thin, and as a result had acquired weight-related genes.
The researchers then pinpointed genes that prevented the breakdown of fat, which were more prevalent in the fat tissue of the overweight mice compared to the fat tissue of the lean mice.
Mice were then bred from one overweight parent and one lean parent.
The offspring that turned out to be overweight were found to have the same active genes as the fatter parent mouse, suggesting that hereditary factors play a role in fat storage and can increase the likelihood of putting on weight.
Nik Morton, a Wellcome Trust research career development fellow at the University of Edinburgh's Centre for Cardiovascular Science, said: aWhile genes controlling appetite are known to be important in determining our fatness, our study shows that genes switched on in the fat tissue itself can play a role in determining why some people tend to hang onto their fat more easily than others. …

European Parliament votes for PRISM snooping investigation
To start this year
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT has voted in favour of an "in depth inquiry" into US PRISM internet surveillance and better protection for whistleblowers.
The parliament is concerned about how deep the PRISM system runs and whether it has covered its members and citizens of the European Union. Along with this is support for better protection for whistleblowers like Edward Snowden, the man who took the lid off PRISM.
"MEPs express serious concern over PRISM and other surveillance programmes, strongly condemn spying on EU representations and call on the US authorities to provide them with full information on these allegations without further delay," says a statement from the European Parliament.
"Parliament also expresses grave concern about allegations that similar surveillance programmes are run by several EU member states, such as the UK, Sweden, The Netherlands and Germany. It urges them to examine whether those programmes are compatible with EU law and stresses that concerns have been expressed in other EU countries, such as Poland, in relation to the interception powers of secret services."
A Civil Liberties Committee is being set up and carry out the inquiry, and it will look into as much evidence as it can get from both the US and EU. So far responses to European questions have been disappointing.
"The Civil Liberties Committee inquiry [will] assess the impact of the alleged surveillance activities on EU citizens' right to privacy and data protection, freedom of expression, the presumption of innocence and the right to an effective remedy," added the parliament.
"MEPs involved in the inquiry will table recommendations to prevent similar cases in future and step up IT security in the EU institutions, bodies and agencies."
The PRISM issue is being taken very seriously in some parts of Europe, and the parliament wants to make sure that any future revelations be allowed to play out.
It said that MEPs voted largely in favour of protecting whistleblowers in the future, and for suspending trade talks with the US in the meantime. µ

CRM Workflow Strategies for Business: When Does It Make Sense to Create More Than One Database In Your CRM System?
If you have been running your business and sales processes using a CRM or Contact Management system of some kind, as your organization's needs have evolved, you may have been faced with the decision to create additional databases.
If you find yourself in this circumstance or if you have already created multiple databases, what are the considerations and potential downsides of doing so?
I will consider a handful of scenarios where it may appear that creating additional databases makes sense.
Reason #1: "Everyone Does Not Need to See All the Records" / "We Have Multiple Sales Territories and Don't Want the Sales Reps to See Each Other's Data".
Is This A Good Reason??
My Reasons:
This is not an uncommon business need – segregating or limiting access to records amongst the user base. It could be that you have people with differing job responsibilities, or sensitive data such as accounting info like "Credit Rating", or it could be that you have sales territories and the reps are not supposed to be "poaching" from each other.
This is a poor reason to break your database into pieces. At first blush it may appear to simplify setting up territories and ensure that users will not have access to records they should not, but doing so has significant impact on your company's CRM workflow. Don't fall for the trap!
Most current CRM systems include tools to support limiting data access: record level access, field level access, and data views assigned to user profiles.
Record level access allows you to create rules that state who can see what records – typically applied to Accounts/Companies, Contacts, Leads, Sales Opportunities, etc. The net result is that everyone logs into the same database but each person "sees" only the records their profile defines.
Field level access is a tool to address the concern of sensitive data contained within a record. Following our earlier example of "Credit Rating", perhaps only those in accounting should see this, or more likely, everyone can see the rating data, but only those in accounting can change its value. So, similar to the way that record level access determines access for an entire record, field level access allows your CRM administrator to define when fields within accessible records are to be veiled or read-only. The result is that your system can readily include sensitive data with the assurance that important fields do not get seen or changed by unauthorized persons.
The last tool I mention offers flexibility for an improved user experience: Custom views assigned to specific departments and users. While sometimes used as a quasi form of security, custom views help you to streamline what data is presented to your users. In other words, it allows you to remove and add fields to the primary screen(s) of your CRM system so that they fit a person's needs when using it. Most systems will end up with a fair number of custom fields over time in addition to the fields included out of the box. A user involved with order processing most likely does not need to see all of the data relevant to a sales rep – and vice versa. Using custom layouts/screens/views allows you to give your users just what they need, but nothing more. Again, the same database file, but viewed with pre-defined "filters" that show each user strictly what they need to be more efficient.

7.229 CB Brian Poole, Florida, 510 210
7.246 WR/KR Ed Eagan, Northwestern State, 5 10 185-need WR depth and returner
Yep, the scope is out on the Steelers, people looking for another way for them to be better.
I have no issue with the 3-4, its been good for the Steelers for years and still is.
1. Get Healthy *
2. Good off season conditioning program
3. Replace deadwood
4. Let Omar do his miracle work in contracts *
5. Add some young talent via the draft
6. Convert Casey Hampton to FB.....jk
A healthy and conditioned Lamar Woodley could help our front seven, if we keep JH, and combine that with a dominate NT, this defense will be even better.
4-3 ? Na, Lets fix the inability of our offense to score *points or enough, then maybe we see some daylight.
Who knows. I think the 4th quarter scheme stinks.
So if they switch to a 4-3, maybe they have to switch schemes in the 4th as well.
But I like the 3-4, when we use it, instead playing this passive crap we've been playing for two years.
Regardless of the front you want, the Steelers need youth at LB and S. I wouldn't draft a NT in the first round. For starters, Hampton played fewer snaps than the third CB this year.
On the offensive side, if Wallace leaves, the Steelers will need help at WR and they could use an addition to the backfield regardless of what happens with Mendenhall.
Plenty of room to improve on both sides of the ball.

FEMA program will cover NY home repairs
(AP) — Federally-paid contractors will do basic repairs so tens of thousands of New York victims of Superstorm Sandy can stay in, or return to, their damaged homes during major work, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and federal officials announced Wednesday. The Federal Emergency Management Agency is offering new, supplemental aid aimed at helping New Yorkers button up their houses and fix some electrical and plumbing problems to avoid staying in shelters at a time when hotel vacancies are scarce in New York City and on Long Island. "Now it is time to restore and rebuild these homes, and help people get back in their homes in time for winter," Mr. Cuomo said. FEMA's Michael Byrne said the program is new. He said New York presented a unique housing challenge to FEMA that couldn't be addressed by available rental housing, hotels or temporary housing units. The immediate repairs include fixing electric meters and exterior damage, replacing doors, putting tarps on roofs, and other minor structural and electrical work. The program is available in counties with federal disaster declarations. The teams will include more than 1,000 contractors and other experts from local unions and the Long Island Builders Institute, said the institute's Mitch Pally. He said it is easier on recovery efforts to keep New York City and Long Island residents in their homes while major repairs are under way. Teams assigned by FEMA will evaluate the work and then dispatch contractors who will be reimbursed by the federal agency. New Yorkers need to contact their city or county government to take part in the Emergency Assistance program.

If you're one of the 1 million + people who follow Heidi Montag on Twitter, you saw her March 10th tweet: "I was just cast in my first feature film comedy! I start filming Monday!!!!!" A few hours later, she talked about it being one of the best days of her life. No doubt -- this is the young woman who had 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day because she wanted to be a "better" Heidi, and thought it was necessary for her career. Looks like she was right; she's been busy memorizing her script, and experiencing her first day on-set. The movie in question -- Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston's Just Go with It, where she'll play Kevin Nealon's wife. (This is the project that used to be called The Pretend Wife.)
While we might beg to differ on the facial reformation Heidi underwent, and the large breasts she added to her slight frame -- all in the name of professional success and physical obsession -- Hollywood has bought into her notion hook line and sinker. Or, at the very least, Tinseltown is willing to cash in on her current fame as the cute girl who thought she wasn't cute enough, sending the message that plastic surgery is important, or at the very least, that it will help you get 15 minutes of fame.
This part of the business kills me.
Sure, Montag is an extreme example. She is desperate for fame -- a young woman who thinks hiring a psychic to be her manager is a smart move. She signs up for self-mockery in the name of publicity (see her Funny or Die short made by Ron Howard below). But the mere fact that she said these surgeries were necessary, and immediately earned a spoof on a popular website and a small role in a mainstream comedy, has proven to her -- and the public at large -- that she's right.
While there is no professional obligation or financial motivation for Hollywood to change their stance on the female form -- especially since the industry continues to pull in mass amounts of money -- I increasingly wonder if there should be a moral obligation. I wonder if we need to keep speaking up, and if Hollywood needs to be pressured or guilted -- somehow -- into rethinking its message. We seem to be in a neverending circle of thinspiration and public mockery, with nothing ever changing, save actresses continuing to get thinner and buying into increasing amounts of surgery. It gives aspiring actresses like Montag the idea that Barbie-ification is necessary, and relays the message that beauty is scalpel-deep.
Part of the problem is the difficulty inherent in talking about "natural" size. As many rightly argue, there are celebrities out there who are naturally skinny and healthy. To chastise weight insinuates that these women aren't natural, or beautiful in their own DNA-given bodies. But we must take into account the vast number of women who feel pressured to morph their bodies to match. Moreover, not only morph themselves to be like a natural super-skinny person, but to look like advertisements and photographs that have had curves, weight, and asymmetrical quirks Photoshopped out. As soon as a woman struggles to mimic a body that doesn't naturally exist, starvation and heaps of plastic surgery are inevitable.
There's also the problem of adding to the pressure placed on Hollywood's actresses by pointing out these trends, but what else can we do? All too often, a celebrity website or magazine catches my eye, revealing another actress who has whittled their body down as much as possible. Buffy fans watched Sarah Michelle Gellar get smaller by the season, Christina Ricci confessed to an eating disorder and blamed that on her once beautifully curvy body, Lara Flynn Boyle went skeletal in the early 2000s while partaking in much plastic surgery, and on the heels of super-celebs like Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, much of young Hollywood is now stick-thin (the 90210 dilemma), which is undoubtedly as much about the pressure to stay thin as it is about Hollywood searching for the skinniest stars. Even Eva Amurri (daughter of Susan Sarandon) found some way to remove a lot from her already gorgeously thin frame, unless her recent birthday photo (right) was wildly altered.
In a perfect world, physicality would be irrelevant because Hollywood would always cast the right figure and talent for the role, and there would be a myriad of shapes and sizes to choose from. But it's not. Where it would be ludicrous and laughed at if a waif of an actor became a male action star, that's the status quo for women, even after the monumental love for Ripley and Sarah Connor. The curvy gals of biopics are replaced by actresses who could better embody Twiggy than Marilyn. The few who choose to not mimic the slightest frames have their body sliced by overzealous photo editors. When Demi Moore's practically fat-free body is being thinned, there's no hope for anyone else.
There are voices attempting to change our discourse on the Hollywood body, or at least reimagine it. Photo-heavy sites like Just Jared opt to share images of women thin, curvy, smooth, or wrinkled without commenting on the differences, but does it make any difference? From my vantage point, the women continue to get smaller, and continue to get mass amounts of work done, no matter how much we discuss how attractive women like Christina Hendricks or Helen Mirren are.
There are many who speak out about this skewed relationship that embraces Hollywood and the female form, and it doesn't seem to be helping. At the same time, however, I don't think ignoring it is the answer either. Someone, somewhere, has to take responsibility, rather than shrugging and letting it be.
Personally, I'm at a loss. For years I've watched it get worse, I've spoken out about it when I can, and then it happens again and again, with increasing regularity and severity. Where some partake in death pools, I'm surprised there aren't thin pools, betting to see which actress succumbs to the pressure next. Seeing Heidi Montag's skewed opinion of the profession become realized kills me, because even if the inevitable (I hope) end of her 15 minutes of fame comes, it has already sent out a message that makes thin-success seem like nothing.
Is there anything that can be done?

I have installed Wordpress many times and never encountered an issue.
However I just installed it on a folder (public_html) and after setting up the config.php file it doesn't work. Alledgedly all my information is correct since it doesn't return database error on /wp-admin but redirects to /wp-admin/install.php. However the install.php doesn't load at all.
In chrome I get:
The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.chirie-sanchez.com/wp-admin/install.php. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.
The problem seems to be around here, since I can write anything before but not after:
/** Load WordPress Bootstrap */
require_once( dirname( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) . '/wp-load.php' );
/** Load WordPress Administration Upgrade API */
require_once( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/includes/upgrade.php' );
/** Load wpdb */
require_once(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/wp-includes/wp-db.php');
I tried changing those with relative URLs and still didn't work. I don't know what to do? What could be the issue?

Flowers and Shrubs (Trees)
[See all entries in Hector's Ultimate Pics and Tricks for Smurf Village Friends]
Exercise The Other Green Thumb
The game offers other ways to keep your smurfs busy earning you more XP via flowers and trees. The rate at which they earn you XP aren't better than what the best crops offer, the flowers do not earn you any coins but both have their advantages, aesthetics being the most obvious.
We'll cover the Flowers first but you can skip down to the Trees by clicking here.
At Level 14, you will be able to put down flower pots and grow flowers very similarly to crops but with a couple of twists.
Note: Nat Smurfling will be covered in the Meet The Smurfs section.
Pots, Plots, and Smurfs Equation
Farm Plots + Flower Pots = Number of Smurfs
The equation only refers to adding plots/pots since you can have more smurfs than plots/pots. If you do not have enough smurfs, you can do one of the following to add a plot/pot:
1. Delete a plot to add a pot (or vice versa)
2. Upgrade a house to add a smurf (500 coins and/or 4 smurfberries)
3. Build a house (you may have to wait to level up)
4. Buy a smurf with smurfberries (5 smurfberries) Not recommended if you can upgrade a house for 1SB less.
The Smurf Flower Cycle
Step 1: Buy and place a flower pot
Step 2: Choose a flower
Step 3: A smurf will be used to water that flower
Note 1: You can only use seeds that are available at your level
Note 2: Gifted seeds will be discussed separately in its own slide so hold your smurfs!!!
Step 4: Once your flower is ready a seed will appear over it. Collect your XP!!
Step 5: Latent period: The leaves are green and your neighbors can't yet water
Step 6: Countdown begins and lasts as long as it took to grow your flower
***(more on Step 5 and 6 below)***
Step 7: A neighbor must water your flower
Step 8: Click the watering can which summons a smurf
***(more on Steps 7 and 8 in two slides)***
Step 9: A smurf waters your flower (Note: the flowers leaves do not turn green until its bonus is ready)
As long as the flowers don't die or you don't remove them, Steps 4 – 9 will continue endlessly.
This also means that if you don't plant new flowers, you will only ever see green leaves during the 5 minute latent period once you collect your seeds. Sucks, huh?
You have the same amount of time it took to grow your flower to collect your bonus before the flower dies.
There are 5 different types of flowers: Roses, Daisies, Chrysanthemums, Tulips and Lillies.
One can only gift seeds for all Roses, Daisies, and Chrysanthemums.
You can only gift those seeds that you have grown in your own village.
Gifted seeds DO NOT give XP.
Gifted seeds are of benefit to you ONLY if you did not have that seed already. Once you receive them, you can grow that flower ONLY if you are at the level at which that seed is unlocked.
For example, using the pic above, pretend Loreta is at Level 15. If I gift her orange chrysanthemum seeds, she will be able to grow them but not until she gets to level 18 (see next slide for available levels). I cannot gift her the purple chrysanthemum seeds because I haven't grown it in my own village.
Gifting seeds DO NOT benefit the recipient if:
1. They have Nat Smurfling who unlocks all seeds
2. They have already received that seed before
**TIP: Look through your friend's village for Nat and also see if they already have grown the flower you want to gift or you can always ask them personally if they have that seed already.
HUGE SPECIAL THANKS TO MY CRACK TEAM that helped me with these slides.
5-Minute Latent Period
Once you collect the bonus from the flower, you will see the sign on the left for 5 minutes. During these 5 minutes, the leaves of the flower will be green and friends will not yet be able to water your flowers. After these 5 minutes, the leaves turn brown and the countdown begins for your friends to water your flowers. The countdown is as long as the flowers' growth time. If a friend does not water them, the flowers die.
Note: The red circle with the slash in the lower left corner of the flower's picture. You can press this at any time of the flower's cycle to remove this flower (not the pot).
I will use names so that this slide is clear. I can water my neighbor, Jeannette's flowers by tapping on the watering can. This icon will continue to appear if I re-enter her village until she waters her flowers. Once I do water her flowers, she will see a watering can above her flowers (step 8 from the cycle).
Jeannette can click on the watering icon to summon a smurf to start the cycle over.
Note: There is no countdown once the watering icon is over your own flowers. I did not click the icon for over 72 hours and it still did not disappear nor did the flower die!
Thanks, Jeannette, for the pic!
Here are the basic numbers on the flowers. Remember, even if you have received a seed for a higher level flower or you have Nat Smurf, those seeds aren't unlocked until you are at that level. The gifted seeds will be applied at that level. You only have to receive them once.
If you're looking to get the most XP out of your flowers then this is the slide for you. There is one big caveat though that we do not see with the crops. The numbers are limited by:
1. The 5-minute latency period (Step 5)
2. The amount of time it takes for your friends to water your crops (Step 7)
TIP: You can always open a second village and control Step 7!! See the Game Center section on how!
At level 20, you will be able to place shrubs that look like trees in your village. If you click on each tree, you will see a menu of fruits that you can grow on each tree. Growing fruits does require a free Smurf. Like the flower pots, you will need a Smurf that is not already assigned to a plot or pot. If when trying to buy a tree it reads "Need Another Smurf", you will either have to delete a plot or pot or add another Smurf.
If you look at the numbers for what each fruit yields in terms of XP and coins, it is not impressive. I've mentioned that aesthetics is one advantage to the trees but here are the others:
- The fruits never wither
- These fruits allow you to grow items over several days (a huge advantage for those that don't want to play daily or when you go on vacation!)
As Beeline adds more Flowers or Trees, check back here for the info.
See you around the village…

I bought nat smurf but she didn't unlock all my seeds! She didn't unlock any of them actually… I can only plant daisy and rose flowers… 🙁
I love the trees because you can choose to just leave them as fruitless trees once you complete your first harvest. They're pretty.
I am on level 29 and need to fulfill a quest that requires harvesting 20 flower boxes. I only have 6 and wondered if I have to buy 14 more boxes to do this or if I can just repeatedly fill the 6 I have until I've reached the required 20. Thanks!
I have only 6 also. I just kept just planting until I reached the 20. Takes time that's all.
I have problems receiving watering cans after my neighbors watered my flowers that led to a total lost of 46pots of flowers. I also do not receive gifts from neighbors since this problem started. I reported the problems to Beeline but they have no solution for me n the weeks have gone by and no news or notification from Beeline yet.
Ho 20 boxes di fiori che continuo a piantare e raccogliere ma Puffetta continua da giorni a chiedere 20 boxes di fiori. Cosa devo fare.?
Are trees better to plant for better XP points rather than regular crops?? Or what's the best way to get XP Points??

An Angel,
An Angel on this Field of Ice,
I hesitantly step on this,
Field of Ice.
This surface of ice,
It is but the most slippery,
And Daunting
Field of ice.
I try moving slowly,
On this surface of ice,
But my Crooked skates,
Knock me off balance.
As I start to fall,
For the very first time,
I accept help,
And In no time,
A hand catches me within the fall,
She catches me from my misery,
And helps me escape the pain,
From this,
Field Of Ice.
She then,
With the sweetest voice,
Asks me,"Are you OK?",
Even though I seem afraid,
I nod aimlessly,
While I reach for her fragile hand,
I grab her hand firmly,
With the the grip even death itself,
Knows to be too tight.
This grip is,
And Almost unbearable.
Even though it is so hard,
For her to bear,
She continues to hold my hand,
Helping me inch forward on this slippery,
Field of Ice,
At first we move slowly,
But our speed gradually increases,
She lets go,
Telling me, "I will be back"
I watch her carefully.
As she zooms past me with her graceful speed,
I notice the aura brighten the ice under her.
For the very first time,
I feel as though I have seen,
An Angel,
An Angel on this,
Field of Ice.

Harvick steals victory at The Glen
13 August 2006
Kevin Harvick did the almost unthinkable when he passed Tony Stewart late in the AMD at the Glen and then held on to deny the defending series champion a fourth win in five years at the Watkins Glen road course.
When Stewart blasted by Harvick to take the lead on the back straight with nine of the 90 laps remaining around the 2.45-mile circuit the race for victory seemed to be over but when the caution flag waved at the end of the lap it gave Harvick a chance to regroup for one last attack.
Surprisingly Harvck had the ammunition to keep Stewart in check on the restart and as they came out of the final turn on lap 87 Harvick was able to size up the leader and re-take the lead on the run into the first turn. Try as he might, and he did, Stewart simply couldn't get back on terms with Harvick and had to settle for second place on a day where for the most part he looked to have the most dominant car by some margin.
Just behind the top two finishers Jamie McMurray and Robby Gordon enjoyed a great tussle over third place, which went to McMurray despite Gordon's most spectacular kerb jumping efforts at the Bus Stop each lap while Carl Edwards benefited from a chaotic final lap to take fifth place.
Going into the last lap it was Ryan Newman who held fifth position from a charging Boris Said, Edwards, Jeff Burton and polesitter Kurt Busch. However when Said tapped Newman into a spin going into the Bud Stop all hell broke loose behind them as Edwards was forced across the grass, Busch tapped Burton into a spin, Ron Fellows straight lined the chicane and several others disappeared into the dust cloud. A little later round the lap both JJ Yeley and Kasey Kahne also ran off course, leaving the order looking very different when the chequered flag fell.
Edwards overcame his off-course moment to take fifth with Said taking sixth for his third top ten finish from four starts with the #60 No Fear Racing team with Scott Pruett coming through for seventh and Elliott Sadler, Newman and Fellows completing the top ten.
Kyle Busch finished eleventh after a remarkable race in which he broke a rear track bar early in the race and lost five laps. However a flurry of mid-race caution periods coupled with the fact that nobody else fell off the lead lap meant that the Hendrick Motorsports driver picked up a record-breaking five Lucky Dog awards to put him back on the lead lap for the final 30 laps. Busch then scythed through the field for one of the most remarkable finishes in recent memory, passing leading rookie Denny Hamlin on the final lap and capitalising on the incident between his brother and Burton to gain another two spots.
Burton crossed the line in 13th place with Reed Sorensen 14th and Jeff Gordon 15th after a late race spin in turn one courtesy of Mark Martin. Points leader Jimmie Johnson wasn't a factor and finished 19th, one place ahead of Dale Earnhardt Jr, who also had a spin in turn one during the latter stages of the event.
Polesitter Busch took 21st place after a chaotic day that saw his fellow front row starter Kahne punt him wide in turn one on the opening lap before fighting back to take the lead only to have NASCAR penalise him on lap 53 for pitting seconds after the pits closed during the sixth caution period of the day. That relegated Busch to the end of the lead lap runners and put him in prime position to get involved in the biggest crash of the day on lap 60 resulting in some minor damage and yet another delay.
Still the driver of the #2 Penske Racing Dodge fought back and was poised for a top 12 finish when disaster struck on the final lap.
Others who endured a bad day included Kahne, who remains out of the top ten in points thanks to his final lap excursion and Greg Biffle, who was rammed into the barriers at the Bus Stop by Kyle Petty and lost 15 laps while the damage was repaired. The driver of the #16 Roush Racing Ford was classified 38th and saw his chances of making the Chase for the Championship all but disappear in the process.
The race was slowed by an unusually high ten caution periods, the most serious of which came on lap 60 when nearly a dozen cars tangled in the esses. Triggered when Matt Kenseth sledged Dave Blaney into a spin, the bottleneck nature of that part of the track meant that all those behind the crash had virtually nowhere to go, Blaney, Joe Nemechek, Brian Simo and Sterling Marlin bore the brunt of the impact and were all eliminated while Busch, Kenseth, Scott Wimmer and Martin Truex Jr all suffered damage.
Belgian driver Marc Goossens had a baptism of fire and finished 43rd after two separate incidents while Michael Waltrip, Casey Mears, Ken Schrader, Kyle Petty and the returning Bill Elliott among the others who spent at least one period in the sand traps.

JEFFERSONVILLE — With only 17:30 left in a scoreless match on Saturday that would decide the Hoosier Hills Conference soccer championship, Mitch Tabler literally rose to the challenge.
Tabler jumped a little higher than Jeffersonville keeper Louis Arredondo, deflecting teammate Colin Singer's free kick into the net for the game's only goal.
The 1-0 victory gave the Olympians an undefeated conference season and the title.
"Colin's going to get it in there every single time, so I just jumped up and tried to get a head on it," Tabler said. "I brushed it up a little bit, right over him (Arredondo)."
Both teams went into the game unbeaten in conference play.
As the game began, the Red Devils came out with lots of energy to dominate possession early. It took almost 10 minutes and three Jeffersonville scoring chances before East picked up its first shot on goal by Alex Staggs. The Olympians' keeper, JB Baxter, was keeping his team in the game.
After Staggs' shot, the Olympians started to dominate possession for the rest of the half. However, a number of good chances flew wide, over the crossbar or were turned away by Arredondo.
Singer appeared to score on a free kick, but the goal was disallowed at the 25:30 mark. "It's frustrating, but we knew putting one in early means we would get another one," said Singer. "We figured we'd try those all game and I knew Mitch (Tabler) would get a head on them, and I knew eventually he'd put one in."
The Olympians withstood their two most dangerous challenges from the Red Devils' Brian Fischer. In the first half, Fischer had the ball deep inside the East box. Baxter challenged him for the ball but missed, and suddenly Fischer was behind him lining up a shot into the open goal. But the East defense, led by Adam Wallace and Roberto Garcia, closed on Fischer quickly and managed to clear the ball before he had a chance to release his shot.
Fischer created a second opportunity at around 27:45 left in the second half. A long clearing kick from the Jeffersonville end was about to be handled by Baxter, who had left his goal to handle it. But Fischer ran aggressively and snatched the ball before Baxter could clear, then shouldered the East keeper aside and dribbled straight toward the unprotected goal mouth, nearly knocking over the East defenders who had arrived to assist their keeper. Somehow Baxter's back line managed to poke the ball harmlessly across the end line and away from Fischer to force a Jeffersonville corner kick.
Jeffersonville's speedy forward, Leonard Kwitonda, also had a number of dangerous scoring chances turned away by the Olympians' relentless back line.
"We were able to keep possession of the ball and play good soccer," said East head coach Brad Barber. "We knew scoring opportunities would continue to come. If we stayed patient, that opportunity would present itself and we knew we could finish. We had a lot of shots that were just a foot wide of the goal. We knew eventually one was going to go in.
"You also have to give a lot of credit to JB Baxter (eight saves). And I couldn't be more happy with the defense."

People are really enjoying what Morrissey is doing? Really? , I can show numerous threads and forums where people can't wait to see the back of the shower of shit he calls his musicians.
Just go onto johnny face book page and listen to the track he has composed called 'the trap'.......god we are missing out.
The law suit was as much moz and johnny fault as it was Andy and mikes.
Let's get the reunion on.
Mike Joyce has just been on Beatwolf Radio talking about the latest rumours...
A Smiths reunion ? " You were good in your time" & we Thank You !
On this website which is meant to be about Morrissey's solo career there is loads of promotion of Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke both have proven themselves to be really horrible people and are people who Morrissey doesn't like. It sounds like Joyce and Rourke are surrounded by nasty, fake and manipulative people. I remember reading on here about Andy Rourke's scary ex-manager Nova Rehman he sounds like a very hard, nasty, cruel man. I don't want to hear about these creeps on here.
They are NEVER ever getting back together. Like ever.
Noticed that a couple of bookies are still offering 8/1 that The Smiths will play on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury next year, very low odds considering what we all know. Either the bookies know something drastic that we don't or some poor souls are losing a lot of money betting on this outcome.

Do Bloggers Share Too Much Information?Danielle
With my oldest son… I kept a record of everything. First tooth, rolling over, and all those things you typically record down in a baby book. With my middle son I totally slacked off, and this time around I have started to use my blog, and family blog as a form of record keeping for all of my children.
There is a lot of people who are doing the same thing, at least I have noticed, and it has sparked a completely different discussion about sharing too much information on the internet about your children. For me it has never been a really big issue. I am not really worried about people on the internet or their intentions. It may sound carefree, or irresponsible, but I have been around the block long enough to have tough skin. In my opinion, when you are a blogger, you have to have tough skin!
But last night I took to twitter, and facebook to see how other moms, and bloggers feel about sharing information about your children, and blogging about your children for essentially the whole world to see.
I got mixed reviews, but for the most part everyone generally felt the same way. It is acceptable and most have started blogging in the place of baby books!
How do you feel about the amount of information Mom bloggers are putting out there?

France - St. Malo, Basque Country
I have about 8 days in France coming up. I'm going to spend a couple of days in Paris and would like to do some exploring. I'd love to go to St. Malo - any tips?
I also just read Rick's chapter on French Basque country and am really tempted to take a night train down there for a couple of days. Should I save that region for another trip entirely, or is it somewhere that I can be OK with going for just a couple of days?

There Be Magic In The Woods Of Crossford
Crossford is a village like any other in the English countryside in the 1500's. Situated on the shores of beautiful Loch Liberty in the Duchy of Northumberland, Crossford is a shire that is a jewel in the cap of the noble Duke of Northumberland. Her fields are rich and her citizens filled with merriment and love of crown and country.
The story is mostly true. Most of the year, Crossford is truly like any good English town on any good English lake, but at those magical times of the year, the solstices and the equinox, the magic of the ancient woods that loom over Crossford come to life. Those fey woodlands are a link, a portal to different times and Crossford sits on ley lines that make her a destination for visitors out of time who come to Crossford to solve some dilemma in their lives.
The ancient spirits of Crossford Wood and the High Green have brought Robin Hood and Maid Marian, King Arthur and his Knights, the Three Musketeers and Robert du Bruce with William Wallace to the small village of Crossford to set history aright. Each group had a character at a crossroads, about to make a decision the stories knew to be wrong. Maid Marian was going to marry the Sheriff of Nottingham, The Round Table itself was going to fall apart and D'Artagnan was about to renounce his life long dream of becoming a Musketeer. In each case the people of Crossford and the magic of this place set them back on the path to where they were supposed to go.
Each year at the festival, wait and see what figure out of myth and history arrives to find the way back on their paths with the help of the villagers and nobles of Crossford.

YouTube illusionist Brusspup, who created the Crazy Chair Illusion we recently spotted, is back with another inimitable video. This one isn't so much an illusion, per se, as it is a testament to the power of persistence. And a long attention span. And a LOT of free time.
Using Photoshop to break a digital photo down to a mere five colors, Brusspup assigned a shade of plastic pushpin to each color, and then got to work. Spending over one hundred hours spread out over a month, he assembled a mind-blowing 15,000 pins — each one functioning as a 'pixel' in the larger image — and caught the whole process on time-lapse video.
Enough of our yakking. A picture is worth a thousand words, or, in this case, 15,000 pushpins. Enjoy!

I love the book idea with the note in it about the weather and such! What a great thing to pass down to the grandkids!
fitness junkie, CRPS suffering, single mom to three awesome kids who has lost 130 lbs!
This year we were going to go to the local care center to sing to the elderly. My baby is high risk though and I don't want him to get sick. We will save that for next year.
Ps....Celeste, I'll PM you again as soon as the pass a note function decides to work for me. :)
On Christmas eve we read the story of Christ's birth in the bible together, and enjoy a seafood feast. (generally lobster, asparagus, salad, and french bread... one year we also had scallops, prawns, and crab.)
On Christmas day we open our presents (we don't have santa), and then we visit our families and grandma.
This year we are doing our own christmas meal, and we will go and visit grandma.
We want to take it easy, you know what, we have never just taken it easy and had a nice cup of coco on christmas,lol. It's always way too hectic.
"When I am silent, I have thunder hidden inside." - Rumi
I SOOOO wish I could go home and see my mommy and daddy for Christmas. I wish I had the $$ for that! I miss them terribly, and I know they are very worried for me and my girls. I have no family here, just my ward. I'll pick from some of the ideas here that are free! I would love to read from the bible about Christ's birth! I know the girls would love that! We have coco too, and I need to find our Christmas book. We don't have any Christmas movies, and pj's are out of the question. I think we'll add in some kind of act of service too. We like to volunteer in the community, but I think doing a service for one another (drawing names) could be really fun too! Thanks for all the ideas!
fitness junkie, CRPS suffering, single mom to three awesome kids who has lost 130 lbs!
My mom would put the present in a box and write a name on it. My siblings and I would wrap the presents and put them under the tree. It was fun to wrap presents and guess what they were.
We rarely had anything under the tree until Christmas Eve night! Lol. Such fun and anticipatio with my siblings :)
"To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible."

My friend and her girls bake a birthday cake for Jesus on Christmas eve. She says it's to remind them that He came to earth as a real person, a baby just like they were. They serve the cake on Christmas day. I always thought that was kind of coll! Linda

Eight long rows of tables, side by side, were lined on one end of the hall where exhibitors showed clothes, artifacts, art and photo displays. The presenters also gave away treats and samples of traditional foods. Almost every continent was represented by natives of different countries in the Thursday celebration put on by the Madera Coalition for Community Justice.
World-known and less recognized faiths were also showcased. Community organizations took part by distributing information about their programs and services.
Lance Canales represented Native American nations by playing the flute, members of the Madera Islamic Center did a chant and several folkloric groups showed dances from different Mexican regions. A fashion show featured traditional garments from Peru, Mexico, Bolivia and Nepal. Students from the Madera Child Development Center, which is run by the coalition, sang...

Early warning procedure helps more melanoma patients than ever beat their cancer
added 4/3/03
ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Retired doctor Martin Trotsky was combing his hair one day last fall when his comb bumped up against a painful red pimple on his scalp.
Rather than ignore it, he kept an eye on it for the next two weeks. When it didn't go away, he went to see his doctor. The "pimple" turned out to be melanoma - the most dangerous form of skin cancer - and Trotsky turned immediately to the melanoma specialists at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center.
That swift action may have saved his life. Almost immediately, the U-M team did an "early warning" procedure that told Trotsky his cancer had just started to spread. And based on that warning, the team found and removed the tiny glands called lymph nodes in his neck that the cancer was using as a highway to the rest of his body.
Because his cancer was found early, treated early, and perhaps kept from spreading, Trotsky's outlook is far better than it would have been if the cancer been caught later.
Although he and his doctors will have to be vigilant for the rest of his life, in case the cancer returns, he was spared a far worse fate: surgery that could have destroyed muscles in his shoulder and face, and a much higher risk of death from his cancer.
The "early warning" procedure that has helped Trotsky and many melanoma patients nationwide is called sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping. It has been used for years in patients whose melanoma lesions are below their neck. But many doctors have considered it too tricky to do on the 20 percent of melanoma patients whose cancer is on the much more delicate and intricate areas of the head and neck.
The U-M melanoma team, one of the most experienced in the country, disagrees. They've been doing SLN mapping on the faces, throats, scalps, ears and necks of melanoma patients for several years - and recently published results of a study showing they are able to do it with 95 percent accuracy, and without damaging tiny nerves and muscles in the area. They found early signs of spreading cancer in about 18 percent of patients who had the procedure - giving them a jump on treatment.
"The point of sentinel lymph node mapping is to catch the melanoma at the lymph node stage, where you can only see it under the microscope," explains Carol Bradford, M.D., the U-M surgeon who performed Trotsky's operations. "This allows us to treat it very aggressively and very effectively, and offer patients, even with cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes, a good chance of beating their disease."
Bradford, an associate professor of otolaryngology at the U-M Medical School and chief of head and neck surgery, led the team that published the study in the Archives of Otolaryngology. She explains that SLN mapping is a way to quickly assess the threat of melanoma -- showing whether cancer cells have entered nearby lymph nodes and might spread further.
SLN mapping focuses on the lymphatic system, an interlaced network of vessels, ducts, nodes and glands that usually carries helpful, disease-fighting components throughout the body.
The lymphatic system can also act as a kind of highway for melanoma cells, giving them a direct route from the skin cancer to the bloodstream, which can carry them to other sites where they can form new tumors. The rest stops on this highway are tiny bean-shaped structures called lymph nodes, which gather and filter the lymph fluid that carries foreign objects like bacteria, viruses and cancer cells. Lymph nodes and ducts in the head drain to ones lower down.
Before SLN mapping came along, surgeons removed entire sections of the lymphatic system of many melanoma patients, just in case the cancer had spread. But only about 10 percent to 20 percent of patients actually turned out to have cancer cells in their lymph nodes - meaning that many had undergone the invasive and potentially dangerous surgery for no real reason.
SLN mapping aims to spare most patients the agony of major surgery by identifying those patients who need the most aggressive treatment: those whose cancer was already in their lymph nodes. "Once the lymph nodes are involved, there is a risk that this deadly disease will spread throughout your system," Bradford explains. But even if it has, it's best to treat it early.
The SLN mapping procedure involves an injection of a radioactive tracer and blue dye near the melanoma site, and the use of radiation detectors and minimally invasive surgical techniques. "Those blue and radioactive particles spread to the lymph nodes nearby, so that the surgeon knows which ones to biopsy," says Bradford. "We can often do this with an incision of one inch or smaller, to just specifically biopsy the lymph node at risk." The patient can go home that day.
Then, a specially trained pathologist examines the removed nodes, looking for melanoma cells. Because such nodes are the first stop for traveling cancer cells, they're called "sentinel" nodes, like sentinel soldiers at military bases who are the first to spot intruders.
For many of the tens of thousands of melanoma patients diagnosed each year in the United States, SLN mapping guides their treatment starting soon after the cancer is found. U-M's Multidisciplinary Melanoma Program team performs it on many of the 1,300 newly diagnosed melanoma patients that come to the U-M Comprehensive Cancer Center each year.
But at many centers, SLN mapping often hasn't been offered to patients whose cancer is on their head or neck, because it requires a surgical team experienced at operating on the ultra-small structures under the face and scalp. One false move with a scalpel could paralyze parts of the face or shoulders. Instead, such patients have had to wait for visible signs that their cancer has grown or spread. And that can greatly reduce their chances of living, Bradford explains.
Studies have shown that patients whose cancer cells have entered their lymph nodes have a much worse potential for survival. The average five-year survival rate for melanoma patients is about 89 percent. But once the cancer spreads to the lymph nodes, the survival rate drops to a range of 13 percent to 70 percent, depending on how many lymph nodes have melanoma cells.
Now that the U-M team has shown SLN mapping can be used safely and effectively on the head and neck, the outlook for such patients is much brighter.
"If melanoma of the head and neck is diagnosed early, before it spreads to the lymph nodes, it's very curable," Bradford says. "However, if it gets to be advanced, large and particularly deep, and it spreads to the lymph nodes, the chances of beating it drop significantly."
Even if SLN mapping shows cancer cells in the lymph nodes, the patient may have surgery to remove more at-risk nodes, and treatment with a drug called interferon to stop cancer growth. "For those patients, it's a huge advantage because we diagnosed the disease very early, and they can get all the extra treatment they need," Bradford explains.
Bradford's patient Martin Trotsky can vouch for that. "Of the eight nodes that they dissected, two were positive for cancer," he recalls. "The sentinel node mapping definitely showed some spread, which I would not have known that I had otherwise, allowing them to do the surgery and the treatment that was necessary and would give me the best benefit."
"Had I not had this done, I guarantee you that within six months or so, I would've had enlarged nodes in my neck," he continues. "And then the prognosis would've been not nearly as good."

Facts on melanoma and sentinel lymph node mapping:
Melanoma is a form of skin cancer that begins in the cells called melanocytes that produce the skin's coloring.
Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer. It accounts for about 4 percent of skin cancer cases, but it causes about 79 percent of skin cancer deaths.
The American Cancer Society estimates that 54,200 Americans will be diagnosed with melanoma in 2003.
About 7,600 people will die of melanoma this year.
The earlier a melanoma is found and treated, the better a patient's chances will be.
Melanoma often starts when a normal mole on the skin becomes cancerous. The "ABCD rule" can help distinguish a normal mole from a melanoma:
Sentinel lymph node mapping can be used to determine whether a newly diagnosed melanoma has begun to spread to the lymph nodes. This can help guide treatment.
