LEMON GROVE The public's help is being sought to locate two men that authorities say stole $10,000 from an elderly man.
A man approached the 71-year-old victim at a Home Depot in Lemon Grove on Broadway Avenue on March 10 about 12:45 p.m. The robber asked for a ride to meet a friend at a nearby Walgreens. Once at the store, the man and his friend persuaded the victim to donate money to their fictitious charity.
The three drove to a Wells Fargo Bank, where one suspect pretended to withdraw $30,000 from a bank account, then got the victim to withdraw $10,000 from his own account, sheriff's officials said.
Both robbers were described as black and 45 to 50 years old. One was about 5 feet 7 inches tall and about 180 pounds, with short gray-and-black hair. The other was about 6 feet 3 inches tall and 210 pounds, with black hair cut in a military style.
Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.
Tipsters are eligible for a $1,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest.

I've sort of fallen off the wagon. Once you stop blogging its sort of hard to start again but here goes:
For the last two and a half years I have been working at Microsoft, almost entirely outside of the UK. For an old Lotus Notes guy this may seem a bit heretical but in fact our technology today, to my mind, is more aligned to the vision of collaboration that Notes and Domino promised but on the whole failed to deliver to a broad market.
I am not blogging here to promote MS or the products I care about (Microsoft Enterprise Project Management and Visio for the record) we do that very effectively elsewhere but I do spend a large part of most working days talking to customers and partners and funnily enough we often end up often focussing on Collaboration, Process Management, Resource Management and Dashboards.
Whether in Finland, Belgium or Portugal (or nine other countries), talking to public sector or commercial organisations getting a grip on the above structural issues often form part of my daily discussions.
'Where do we start?' I am frequently asked. Frankly I am no longer surprised at the question because the answer to me is self-evident: 'From where you are now'.
This might seem a little unhelpful but the fact is, most organisations are doing projects on a stand-alone basis or creating (on some file share or storage area) process diagrams or such like and need to bring current practise into a controlled, collaborative environment.
In my view the progression is often best characterised as 'how do we easily accommodate todays bad practise and evolve it into best of breed' as often introducing grand new systems fails. Managing massive business change however well planned is incredibly hard to deliver.
I am lucky, the tool-set we offer today at MS really supports evolutionary change (if you want a revolution go ahead but I for one am not joining) and therefore we can today deliver on the promise. Proving and delivering the technological promise is frankly only the beginning. Its these issues I face daily that I am going to focus on in future posts.
Over the coming weeks and into the future I will examine the differences between Project Management, Managing of Project, Enterprise Project Management and Business Data-driven graphics.
Yes, it will be through the prism of the MS eyes I wear now but it will also be my views and not those of MS. I am not a blog regurgitation machine.
As ever I am interested in your views and if we can enter some dialogue it would be great.

Sorry this was so long but I needed to vent
Remember my car seat "friend"? She's worse!
I'm thinking of sending mom of the year and super trooper this email. what do you think? what changes should I make?
I am writing to the both of you because I want to apologize and explain my actions from Monday. First, I want to express that I think there was a misjudgment on my part of what was happening. I honestly thought when I saw K in the front seat that you were joking with me and trying to get a rise out of me because of our prior correspondence about it. The texts and fb comments have always been light hearted and cordial but at times seemed to be aimed to "get me going" like when K was not even 8 months old and you tagged me in a photo of her forward facing. So on Monday I thought you were trying to get me worked up again. I thought I approached you initially as friendly albeit concerned. Since we are friends I didn't feel like I was out of line touching your vehicle and bag. At that point I thought we were still in friendly banter mode. The moment I realized that you were indeed serious I backed up. I must admit that I should have walked away at that point and I'm sorry I didn't. I pleaded with you when my emotions took over and I am sorry. I never meant to undermine you as her parent. My intentions were always towards their safety and not towards questioning your parenting. I was thinking that perhaps you didn't know about the varying degrees of safety in comparing child placement in the car. It now appears that you have done your own research as to the laws and have made the decision that best suits your family. I need to respect that. Please know that this entire incident and those in our past have only occurred because I care about you and your family. I meant no harm, quite the contrary. Perhaps my tact could use some work though. Again, I apologize for any emotional strife that may have occurred Monday and rest assured that I will never again make any comments or offer any unsolicited advice. I hope that we can continue to have an amicable and professional relationship.

I still don't feel like I was out of line. I can't say that it's none of my business. Her and her children are my business because they are my friends.
^^ I agree with you, but I think it's "big of you" to send an apology anyway.
I would still distance my friendship with her if I were you. She's batshit crazy.

In September, inventories have returned to levels of a year ago and the buying season ended with the greatest price gains seen in years, according to realtor.com®'s September trend report.
Many markets in California, Arizona and Nevada—plus Detroit—that were the center of the housing crisis now appear to be well on the road to a robust recovery. More than 20 percent of the markets covered by realtor.com reported exceptionally large year over year list price gains of 12 percent or more and exceptionally large inventory shortages. As both prices and inventories become more balanced, affordability and availability will improve, creating better market conditions for both sellers and buyers, realtor.com said.
The recovery has yet to make an impact on markets where prices are the same or lower than they were last year at this time. Representing 20 percent of realtor.com®'s markets, these are located in the Midwest, South and Northeast, including Cleveland, Trenton, Hartford, Cincinnati and Buffalo. The impact of a weak economy continues to takes in toll in many of these markets but most have put in place the foundation for future growth. Both inventories and age of inventories are down compared to a year ago.
The recovery is having an extraordinary impact on the heartland. A number of major markets that didn't suffer the brunt of the housing crisis nor face difficult local economic conditions had in an amazing buying season. Chicago, Boise, Portland OR, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Ann Arbor, Washington, DC, Nashville, Houston, Denver and Corpus Christie have all achieved price appreciation of 12 percent or higher over last year.

Secrets of Success
Weight Loss: Math or Magic?
View THETURTLEBEAR's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from THETURTLEBEAR
Monday, December 19, 2011
I am driven by logic. I chose to use the Spark Nutrition and Fitness trackers as the cornerstone of my 2011 weight loss plan, and loved having lots of numbers to target, crunch, and analyze. I set goals based on the projections I could view, and things sort of fell into place. Sort of. In hindsight, I realize that early on, I came to understand that part of my success came from math, while the other part involved "magic." Not necessarily good magic either.
I don't have a fairy godmother..or a friend from Hogwarts. Nobody waved a wand at me to zap my fat. The "magic" I refer to is the often frustrating LACK OF LOGIC that comes with long-term weight loss. What I have found is that when I relied totally on math, the scale didn't always move.
Math-based reality: Follow the advice of my SP trackers. Note the calorie differential. See loss of pound each time the negative differential sum is 3500 calories. HA HA HA! How many times does THAT happen?
Magic-based reality: Follow the advice of my SP trackers. Note the calorie differential. Note how the calorie differential seems to have no bearing on the scale. Sometimes a pound is "lost" with a 2000 negative calorie differential, and other times it disappears with a 7000 negative calorie differential.
So, what have I learned about ME and this magic? It's not always logical, but:
1) I've lost weight when I eaten around 1400 calories a day, regardless of where that number falls in my tracker range.
2) I've used the Spark-suggested protein/fat/carb ratios successfully, BUT, if I went over in fat - even if my calories were well within my tracker range - I maintained or even gained weight.
3) If I wanted the scale to move, I couldn't eat too many calories at one sitting, even if my daily total was within range. My body doesn't mind if I eat all day - even late at night - as long as I only eat mini-meals.
4) I do best if I track the three main nutrients PLUS my sodium, calcium, fiber, and saturated fat, and keep them all in check.
None of these four things are necessarily supported by "the math," but they were the truths for my own journey. If I ignored them, and just said, "I'm doing everything right, but I'm not losing weight," then I wasn't being honest with myself. They were the non-quantifiable aspects of my Spark program - my "magic." I had to learn them by trial and error, over the past eleven months, and adapt and adjust accordingly. So I read and learned, paying attention to the experiences and blogs of Spark friends. But I knew that at the end of the day, I needed to do the things that worked for me.

How true! Great blog! When I read the title I had to laugh though. Every month my boss tells me to work my "magic math" on his financial reports.

Yet another mind shifting powerful blog ! Well done !!
I am also beginning to see these same parameters work for me. I know a lot of people who have lost weight by shifting to the' eat every two hours mentality.'I think it ultimately all boils down to your blood sugar levels. Keeping them in check is magic itself. Also just saying... I also find if I go over my carb or protein levels the weight loss ceases. The real deal is to eat well, but being mindful of portion sizes.
You are truly the master of diets now !

Great blog! I have found #3 to be the best thing for my weight loss so far. I used to eat a very small breakfast and lunch and save all my calories for dinner, and even when I stayed within range, I wasn't losing. Now I eat all day long, usually at least 6 times, and the weight is finally coming off!
Thanks for reminding me what's making the "magic" happen for me.

Once again, a great blog! I love reading your insights. We think a lot alike. I'm going to have to start watching some of the other numbers too. I was surprised how much of a difference I saw when I started tracking sodium. I wonder what will happen if I start tracking some of the others... hmmm!
Thanks again for sharing your insights!

The calorie range is in relationship to how much exercise we do, kinda like a car.. If I weight train I get to the high end and if I am sendity because of work I eat to the lower range..
bmrcalculator.org explains how to use the calorie range in time with exercise.. Sparkspeople doesn't have strength training in the maths because of peoples age, weight, sex, height and energy level..

Another great Blog, Mimi! Awesome!!

Yes, one of the hardest and most demoralizing lessons we learn on the journey is that not only is the whole 3500 calorie deficit thing complete and utter B.S., but that there is NO number out there that you can pinpoint and say, "Ha! THAT"S the calorie deficit I need to obtain in order to lose one pound!" There is no guarantee!
And so, gentle Sparker, it's all up to the whims of the fat fairies. And sometimes they can be real bitches.
Which is why I am always saying, one way or another, "More POWER TO US!!" for those who get it and still stick around.

Yes! It's fascinating -- if sometimes frustrating -- how sometimes we have to go against common "wisdom" to do the right things by our health. It also is clear to me, that life is change. And that means, yes, by the time I figure something out about my own metabolism, that metabolism might well have already changed so what I figured out isn't true!
Eating MORE of the right things helps me a ton, and seeing the graphs for various nutrients is a big plus. I kind of wish I could see the graphs at different points throughout a day, although daily is still a help!

You have worked it out!!
well done my friend !! Yes it works and only if we track .. we must track eveything we put in our mouths ... Glad you are seeing results !

I think the greatest reminder in that is how absolutely important it is to track and keep notes. Only when we can look and compare the ups and downs to how and what we ate in the prior days can we really identify those little "personal rules" or the Magic of our own body's way of losing weight.

I think you are well on your way to earning that PhD of You - I found myself nodding through so much of your post - this trial and error of learning about your own body is quite a journey, but so much better than the one size fits all diet maxims
I think the most frustrating part for me is when I finally figure out a few things about my unique body, at least one rule will totally change up and throw me into confusion again - I'm learning to roll with those punches

You are superb at the number crunching & analyzing aspects of this process!!
Thanks for sharing your wisdom! We are all different, and what works for one may not work for all... but chances are good that your tips will be helpful to many others. I find it quite helpful to read a variety of what is working for others, and always appreciate it when others take the time to explain and share the info!
It is *supposed* to be simple math... but I could not agree more... it is far from it!! I can't figure it out... I just make overall good choices and eventually that scale moves down again... one pound at a time! (at it's own pace -- whenever that may be!).
Report Inappropriate Comment
It is hard to get away from the notion that our goal is to lose "weight" on the scale and to interpret every downward blip as "good" and every upward blip as "bad." So let me pose some hypothetical questions. Would you be pleased about a one pound loss on the scale if you knew that it was, in fact, from dehydration that day? Would you be upset about a one pound gain if you knew that it was all from muscle? Let me share two of my experiences (I know I'm a broken record on this subject.) I once lost two clothing sizes without losing a single pound on the scale (because I was gaining muscle as fast as I was losing fat). I always gain at least a pound on the scale after a very long run, even though I have burned over 2000 calories on that run (from increased water in the muscles which is part of the inflammatory recovery response.) At your current stage in your weight loss journey, the scale can't give you all the info you need to determine whether you are on the best path for improved health and fitness. (Thanks for indulging me.)

Thanks for this post. So much of it is an "aha" moment for me and helps me understand my own journey a bit better. Congrats on knowing yourself well enough to figure some of this stuff out!

The Senate Appropriations Committee's rejection of a tougher drunk driving measure could cost the state millions of federal dollars. The measure that would have reduced the level of intoxication to prove drunken driving from the current 0.10 percent blood-alcohol level to 0.8. It failed on a 5-5 tie.
If Colorado does not change the law, the state would lose $4.9 million in federal funding next year and double that amount the following year. It would lose up to $50 million in following years. Lawmakers have said they don't want to give in to ``federal blackmail.''

How to use an iPad or laptop as a light source for portraits, still lifes and more
Use your tablet to create cool catchlights
This attractive effect looks like a clever Photoshop trick, but it's actually very simple to do.
Instead of a plain white background, load a white shape against a black background onto your screen, and use this to light your model's face – the shape will be reflected in the catchlight in their eyes. This works really well with portraits.
For a striking close-up like ours, use a macro lens at f/2.8 to focus in on your model's eye.
Positioning is crucial because even small movements will change the position of the catchlight.

I just wanted to say that I really believe that this shelter and the people who run it are doing it from the best place... a true inner desire to help people and to change the world around them. Through my workplace I was able to take part in some fundraising for My Fathers House and also donated a Saturday of my time to help out at a "Thank You" BBQ that they hosted for some of the sponsors and volunteers who help the shelter. I was given a tour and met many of the residents at the shelter. I really enjoyed hearing from people about how My Fathers House was helping them and their loved ones. My Fathers House has helped many people through probably some of the worst moments of their lives with dignity and respect... and allowed these people to stay together as a family unit. I can't imagine anything more important when a family faces adversity than to be able to face it together. These people care and it shows.... I'm proud to be able to do even a small part to help them and hope that anyone thinking of supporting this cause will do so. Thanks to everyone involved for proving that people do still care and can make a difference.

I really don't know where to start. It would sound like an over dramatic statement if I said something like "My Fathers House saved my life and kept my family from being torn apart" but in a very real way, they did. I had no hopes for a job when we (my ten month old son, his mother, and I) were evicted from our apartment. No relative or friend would take us in as a group and we were determined to stay together. We were told about My Fathers House and had a hard time believing it... it sounded too good to be true. But, thank God, it wasn't! We were treated with kindness and respect. No one EVER made me feel like I was being looked down on. I felt real love from everyone from the Exective Director to my Growth Leader ( who happened to be the E.D.'s husband :D ) to all of the staff and volunteers... they all REALLY wanted me and my family to succeed. When you are totally down and out, most of the time you really don't want/need a hand out. In most cases, what would be best is a hand up. At My Fathers House, that's exactly what we got.

I remember when God gave Cathe a vision for this shelter. I worked for Cathe at East Hill church as one of her many nursery supervisors. The other shelters in the city had limits on a child's age, so not all children in a family could go together to a shelter. If a child was 12 or older they would need to go elsewhere. It is very difficult for a family to go anywhere for shelter when rules limit a child's age. Though shelters do this to protect children from sexual child abuse it offered little hope to whole families with older children. Cathe expressed to me she wanted to find a solution to the problem. From the duplex to the larger building, My Father's House is growing and becoming what God planted years ago in Cathe and Dan's heart.
Both my husband and I volunteered for a short period of time. The beautiful orcastration God delivered in the organization of the shelter was solid, visual proof that a mighty God called for this to happen.
Years later I entered seminary and asked Cathe if I might intern for the shelters chapel. The shelter offers a church service on Sunday. I look forward to my time in a place where God's love is abundant and in a chapel where the Holy Spirit is moving in mighty ways…….

I've always thought very highly of homeless shelters, but never went anywhere near them. I donated from afar, dropping things into boxes set up to be delivered to them. But last summer I met some kids from My Father's House at Eagle Fern Camp. The day after camp ended I visited for the first time. The building itself is beautiful, built specifically for the purpose and filled with uplifting artwork. The children have a large playroom with all kinds of toys and a large, fenced in play structure. I immediately signed up to volunteer. The staff continually thanks me every time I work. I do a four hour shift once a week, answering the phone and greeting visitors and volunteers. I knew before I ever met Cathe Weise that I would like her. I worked on her day off for quite a while so when I finally switched days and met her I told her immediately how impressed I was with her staff and how I knew that all the consistently positive attitudes I saw in her absence had to be coming from the top down. Working with her regularly has only confirmed it! Every time a staff person even begins to say something negative, they stop and correct themselves, stating the truth with hope instead. I've been there long enough to see the fruit of the ministry in the lives of the people who live there as they find faith, jobs, and hope. The building doesn't feel like a ministry, it has a heart like a church, but more like a home, because it is one.

It is my great pleasure to help with My Father's House's quarterly newsletter. I always look forward to it. My husband and I also make occasional monetary and food donations, and we are adopting a family for Christmas again this year -- it really brings the spirit of Christmas to life for us. There are many ways to contribute to the success of MFH and their clients. MFH changes lives in our community, which makes it a better place for us and everyone else (including you!) to live.

My Father's House is a privately funded shelter for homeless families that is meeting a huge need in our community. It is unique in that it allows families to stay together while helping them regain their independence. A core value of the shelter is that we don't do for our families what they can do for themselves so staff, volunteers and our board are all committed to treating our families with respect and dignity while helping them gain the skills and confidence needed to live independently once they transition out of the shelter.

I've seen first hand the impact of what we do for the families, especially the children, who live in the shelter as well as have had the opportunity to hear "first-hand" directly from several residents themselves about the impact and difference the work we do has made in their lives and that of their children.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Find a way to provide a sustainable flow of operating funds so that the staff could concentrate 100% of their time on meeting the needs of the residents and not have to be concerned with raising funds to keep the shelter open.

This non-profit is the largest family shelter privately funded and fully supported by ordinary people like you and me. They help whole families and doesn't split them up. They give families help, training, support and tools to become successful in their community. The families that have gone thru the program, come back to give and help out when they can!

Tell your story here and help others understand this charity My family was fortunate enough to have lived at the new building of My Father's House for about 4 months. The icing on the cake of instability was losing our housing situation in an unfortunate situation with our housemate. We spent about 3 months couch-surfing among relatives (me, my wife, and our 4 kids). I was still managing to hold down my full time job all the while. One day my wife mentioned something about this "father's house" place. I was willing to go see what they were about, so we set up an appointment with Sam. As our luck would turn out, it was probably the best thing to happen to us in YEARS. We are now over a year removed from our stay, and while the marriage is still on thin ice, we are definitely better off as people for having stayed at My Father's House. And as I swore to Cathe on the day we left, I will ALWAYS find some way or another to help out the shelter. And you should too! They just opened up their new apartment complex, and so the needs are greater than ever. But the help is burgeoning too. Cathe, Dan, Dougie, Heather, all the Staff, I love you guys and I won't ever forget what you've done for me and my family. Don S.

The important part in getting such loans is to find out the offer which suits you the best, you don't want to be paying more for the same amount when you get it for less. A lot of companies have multiple plans for people with bad credit history. Once you have a basic information about them, its is best to get in touch with them regarding your case. There will be many who do not get into such business, there is no point getting in touch with them. They have special terms and conditions for people with a bad credit history. The boat financing industry is very aggressive and we value each and every customer. A direct debit allows the lender to take money from your secure account on a predetermined date.

SPEED has a new show called RACE HUB, which airs Monday through Thursday at 7pm ET/4pm PT. The reason I mention it is that SPEED has put some behind-the-scenes footage online, and this stuff is fun to watch, especially if you're into the unintentionally awkward comedy of Brad Keselowski.
The background: RACE HUB is a nightly report that aims to bring viewers close to the inner workings of NASCAR. It is a source of NASCAR news and information, plus conversations with those inside the sport. Using the same SPEED style seen at the track, the new show is set in a "garage playroom" with a variety of set pieces. The show features an array of guests, including Jimmy Spencer, Jimmie Johnson, Greg Biffle and Wendy Venturini, but did we really need to mention anyone after Jimmy Spencer? Didn't think so.
Check out a few sneak peaks below.

I trust him, but I still don't want to jump the gun. Has anyone else had this experience?

- Cd(II) sorption onto chemically modified Australian coals
- Author(s)
- Burns, Carolyn B.; Boily, Jean-Francis; Crawford, Russell J.; Harding, Ian H.
- Abstract
- Cadmium (II) adsorption onto chemically modified Australian coals has been studied as a function of p[H+] at 25 °C. The low rank Collie and Loy Yang coals and the bituminous Norwich Park and Mount Arthur coals were modified with hydrogen peroxide. While both treated bituminous coals showed little affinity for Cd(II) the adsorption properties of the two low rank coals were drastically modified by treatment with hydrogen peroxide. NICA-Donnan model calculations for the treated Collie coal indicated an increase in functionality (ca. 5-fold) which was reflected in the important increase in Cd(II) adsorption obtained from batch adsorption experiments. On the other hand, the modified Loy Yang coal underwent a ca. 6.25 decrease in surface functionality and decomposition of the coal structure itself. These changes were reflected in the DRIFT spectra in bands characteristic of the oxygen-containing functional groups. The Cd(II) adsorption capacity of this modified coal was consequently substantially decreased. The two low rank coals were also treated with ammonia at p[H+] 7.5 and 9.5. This treatment did not, however, induce any substantial change in the adsorption of Cd(II). DRIFT spectra showed that the predominant functional groups present in both Collie and Loy Yang coal remained essentially unchanged after treatment with aqueous ammonia.

Into the Ravine
This is a distillation of the essence of the Presteigne Festival, which every August presents a wealth of British contemporary music in and around a small town in the Welsh borders. Michael Berkeley, who lives nearby and is the Festival's President, wrote Into the Ravine for the 2012 Festival: named after a painting by John Craxton (brother of the oboist Janet), it is a study in the varied colours available from oboe and string quartet, reaching an intense unified climax. John McCabe, a Presteigne regular, wrote his Quartet No. 7 for the same Festival: in five movements with two scherzos, it holds in balance the lyrical and the propulsive, the declamatory and the intimate, before dissolving into 'a gentle summer sky at dusk'. Adrian Williams, a founder of the Festival and another local resident, composed his Fourth Quartet for Presteigne in 2009; its three movements are fuelled by personal urgency, offset by reflective moments reminiscent of Finzi.
The talented Carducci players are responsive to all the shifting moods of this programme, and Nicholas Daniel spins a finely controlled line in the Berkeley. The recording, made in an Oxford church, adds warm but occasionally overbearing resonance.

Had an annoying experience fighting the lvl 20 npc when this situation came into effect. He used his "subtract MAX HP from all cards on the field" unit skill, this killed all 4 of my units and 2 of his lvl 7 Earth Dragons. He had 1 LP left and I had 2 LP and was able to revive 2 of my cards. I thought i was okay seeing as he had 1 LP, because surely 1 of his cards would be removed before both of mine. But no, my 2 level 3 cards were removed first thus losing me the game.
I'm thinking it's because my units were placed many rounds ago, and his dragons were relatively new on the field. Still really annoying though!

Another year, another Granite Bay league swimming title
Whenever the swimmers of the Sierra Foothill League gather for a league meet, there seems to be an intense battle…for second place.
No one can remember the last time Granite Bay lost a swim meet, so while the other teams come with their amazing individual performances, and there were many once again, the Grizzlies once again took the team title Saturday at the Roseville Aquatic Complex.
"We have won 14 consecutive league championships for both boys and girls swimming," said Granite Bay coach John Sherman. "Granite Bay High School swimming now has a league winning streak of 97 consecutive swim meets. We are nearing top five all-time in the state for consecutive undefeated league championships in swimming according to ESPN Cal Hi Sports."
Those are some lofty numbers, and this 14th straight crown was once again impressive. Quincy Christian (500 freestyle and 200 IM), Hannah Calton (200 free, 100 butterfly) and Sophie Weber (50 free and 100 free) led the way for the Granite Bay girls as double winners, while Andrew Murch captured the 100 back on the boys' side and finished second in the 500 freestyle.
In earlier competition, Elliott Adams also defended his league diving title.
Granite Bay's overall depth allows it to dominate the relay events, and that puts the Grizzlies in a good position at the league finals. The Grizzlies' 200-yard medley girls varsity relay team knocked more then two seconds off the old league record. That event was especially memorable as Roseville's quartet also swam faster than the old league mark.
The Grizzlies also won the boys' 200 medley relay, by more than two seconds over Del Oro.
Granite Bay was the winner of the girls 200 freestyle relay, but the Granite Bay boys team took second in that event as it fell victim to Del Oro's league-record unit.
The Lady Grizzlies did not win all of the relays as Roseville was at the head of the class in the girls 400 freestyle relay, with Granite Bay finishing second. Del Oro's boys quartet set a new league mark in the 400 free relay as well, with the Grizzlies taking second spot.
Woodcreek's girls team had a very good day, led by the performances of Nicole Schultz and Allyson Fellows. While the Lady Timberwolves did not win events, their swimmers were in the running all day long and captured second place in the team competition.
"A highlight for us is the fact that our varsity girls placed second overall in the SFL," said Woodcreek coach Grant Guensler. "The SFL is very competitive and to be able pull in a second place behind Granite Bay is outstanding. Woodcreek, Roseville and NU all were tied for second coming into the meet. We showed our depth in being able to place second."
The Woodcreek boys also delivered some highlights in their home pool.
Jesse McWhirk was the winner of the 100 butterfly, with Oakmont's Evan Virtue in second place. Virtue was also the runner-up in the 200 freestyle.
"He (McWhirk) has trained hard on this event and was rewarded with an automatic All-American time as well as a SFL victory in this event," Guensler said.
One of the day's stars was with the Timberwolves last season, but Brian Westlake is now a sophomore sensation swimming for Del Oro. He smashed the league records in both the 500 freestyle and the 100 breaststroke, and was part of the Eagles' record-setting 400 free relay team.
Roseville's swimmers did not disappoint either, with Adam Jorgensen leading the way. He set a new league mark in the 200 freestyle. Grayson Whitney of Roseville took second in the boys 100-yard breaststroke.
Freshman Whitney Jorgensen of Roseville was one of the impressive newcomers, with a win in the girls 100 breaststroke and a second place result in the 500 free.
Brooke Hammond (second in the 200 free and 100 free) and Kayla Nakamoto (second in the 100 butterfly and 200 individual medley) joined 100 backstroke champion Lindsay Ruiz in representing the Tiger girls well.
The top swimmers will move on to represent the SFL at the section finals at Tokay High in Lodi on May 13.
"The biggest thing about the SFL is the strength of the league," Guensler said. "You look at most of the times in the area from other leagues and the SFL event winners are the fastest. Any of the top four or five teams from the SFL would have a shot at winning most leagues in the area. I expect all SFL teams to place well in the section meet."
SFL varsity records set Saturday at league swimming finals:
Girls 200-yard medley relay – Granite Bay, 1:49.45 (Erin Fitzgerald, Sophie Weber, Hannah Calton, Quincy Christian)
Boys 200-yard freestyle – Adam Jorgensen, Roseville, 1:39.96
Boys 500-yard freestyle – Brian Westlake, Del Oro, 4:28.48
Boys 200-yard freestyle relay – Del Oro, 1:27.10 (Josh McCormick, Alex Obert, Collin Johnston, Weston Landre)
Boys 100-yard breaststroke – Brian Westlake, Del Oro, 58.78
Boys 400-yard freestyle relay – Del Oro, 3:10.94 (Brian Westlake, Josh McCormick, Alex Obert, Weston Landre)

My Theory on Why Paul Doesn't Sleep Through the Nightemily
I'm not going to say that Paul never sleeps, because that would be extreme. But I can unfortunately report that Paul never sleeps through the night.
I mean, he's slept through the night before. But that hasn't happened in months.
Currently, Paul gets up consistently around 1:30 AM and then again around 4:40 AM. Couple that with three other kids getting up for 100 different random reasons, and I've found myself at my wits end. Like, I feel like I never sleep in increments longer than a hour.
I look like crap, and I feel even worse than I look.
I've been convinced (by people I'm related to that shall not be named because they will get defensive, *ahem*) that the reason Paul's not sleeping through the night is because he's hungry. They've convinced me I don't make enough milk to sustain him through a solid eight hour stretch. And he's starving.
But do you think that's really the case? Do you think that at five months old, my milk is not sustaining him anymore?
Maybe. But I have a different theory.
My theory is that he flips over from his back to his belly, and gets stuck. He then inches his way forward, wedging himself into the crib corner. His bald baby head then hits the crib rails. Realizing he's stuck, he wakes himself up and wails for me to come to his rescue.
I'm not sure it has anything to do with being hungry. But since I'm awake and in the nursery, I nurse him anyway. And then the whole thing plays out again a few hours later.
I don't know what to do. I can't let him cry it out, Paul shares a room with his two year old brother, and waking him up isn't a option.
We are going to go ahead and start solids, but skip the rice cereal.
Sleepless nights are tough. People tell me it's just a phase, and it will pass in time. But that's an easy statement to say, when you're not the one up all night.

With Independence Day this week it was time for a patriotic art project. Of course, you can create a beautiful American flag any time of the year! For this tutorial we used one half of an 8 ½ x 11 sheet of copier paper and traditional red, white and blue (navy). Some chose a turquoise for the brilliant sky background. But some decided on a night sky with fireworks!
We wanted our flag to be fluttering in the breeze, so we first drew the flag pole. Using a gray or black pastel, make yours stand tall and straight or slant it like the one pictured above.
Now, picture how a flag looks when the wind is making it flow. It isn't straight unless it is a very strong wind. Ours is a gentle summer breeze. So, curve the edges of your flag slightly.
…the emblem of, the land I love…
For a traditional flag, mark of the corner, navy portion for your stars. Remember to curve it along with the effects of the wind. Take your finger and blend your blue. Then it's time for the stars of the 50 states. Gently dot your blue square with a white chalk stick. It looks sparkly that way!
Next, use your red and make six curving stripes. We drew them first then went back over each stripe to thicken it up. Use your finger to blend your stripes, being careful to stay in the lines. Next rub your finger just slightly on the gray pastel stick. With the color on your finger, touch the end of each white stripe to define your flag. Do the same along the bottom of your flag.
You have a choice for your background. Make it brilliant blue like our top photo. Or use a black chalk to skumble a night time background. Fist in the background. And add celebratory fireworks!
Our completed flag chalk pastels! Special thanks to Middle Girl for leading us in this tutorial and for the idea of a fireworks celebration.
You might prefer more of an original, impressionistic flag. We created a flag with paints many years ago. You might click over inspiration and instructions: Flag Art Over Mantel (it won first place in the state fair!)
And don't forget our sparkler chalk pastel tutorial!
Just add chalk pastels and paper for a whole year of tutorials! Art for All Ages: A Simple Start in Chalk Pastels ebook – the convenience of our tutorials all in one spot. Just add chalk pastels and paper.

How many of you ladies performed a perineal massage before labor?
I'm wondering how common is it for women to give themselves a perineal massage before giving birth. It seems time consuming and I'm not even sure if I'm doing it right. Is it worth it?

It is really weird. My husband did this on me for the first time last night. It was strange and we were questioning the technique / effectivity. So then I tried to do it myself instead and found it difficult to reach both hands down there and apply pressure effectively. (I watched the video on Youtube and tried the positions she suggests.) However, we're still not sure if we're doing it right. The Hypnobirthing book (Mongan) says peri massage is vitally important. And it says that "most couples choose to incorporate this into their love making." It makes me feel unsexy and shy though....posted 09/10/2012 by therealbananamuffin
I did perineal massage with my first baby and I think that it helped. I only had 35 minutes of pushing and only had to have one stitch for a tiny tear. I don't think the perineal massage hurt or caused any problems. I am planning to start doing it again before I deliver my second baby.posted 07/16/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I think birth position is really important to help prevent / reduce tearing. Also, perineal support from your midwife during delivery. Lying on your back puts the worst strain on your perineum whereas more upright positions like all fours, standing or on your knees can help to minimise the strain. If the midwife provides counterpressure during delivery (eg: she holds your peri as you are pushing) this can help to "ease" the baby out and give the peri time to stretch. The other great thing for the peri is water birth. I have had 3 of these now. The water not only enables flexibility with birthing positions (it gives you so much more mobility than being on land) but it also provides counterpressure during labour. I'm not sure, but maybe it also softens the skin around the peri? Anyway, all of these things worked for me as I have had 5 natural births now (due with #6 any day) and I haven't had peri damage with any of them. Hope this helps!posted 07/13/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I don't think it could hurt to try it, but your body produces hormones that will help stretch you out. I never massaged my perineum and with 2 hours of pushing I only had one tiny tear. So I don't' know. Maybe with massage I would have had no tears. Can't hurt to try.posted 07/13/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I did perineal massage before having my first child (nearly 10 years ago now). Or actually, my husband did it for me. He used olive oil and used his thumbs to stretch my vag opening and press down into the perineum. Sounds pretty wild, I know! Well, whether it worked or not I'm not sure - maybe I am just blessed with stretchy skin anyway - but I did not have any damage from having my baby. No rips or tears, not even a graze. Since then I have had 4 more babies, and again, no damage with any of them. (The last one was nearly 10 pounds)! Recently I have heard of another solution to perineal massage - it's called the EPI-NO Childbirth and Pelvic Floor Trainer - see website http://www.epi-no.com.au/ for further details. It seems to be recommended by midwives. I haven't tried it myself. Good luck!posted 07/13/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

Breakaway: Take the Risk
Today we have a classic Gerry Fuller Breakaway from one of our favorite guests, Dr. Ben Carson. Gerry discusses Dr. Carson's book, "Take the Risk."
You can find our culture's obsession with avoiding risk everywhere, from multiple insurance policies to crash-tested vehicles. But is ducking risk the most productive way for us to live? Surgeon and author Dr. Ben Carson, who faces risk on a daily basis, offers an inspiring message on how accepting risk can lead us to a higher purpose.
"No risk, pay the cost. Know risk, reap the rewards. In our risk-avoidance culture, we place a high premium on safety. We insure our vacations. We check crash tests on cars. We extend the warranties on our appliances. But by insulating ourselves from the unknown—the risks of life—we miss the great adventure of living our lives to their full potential. Ben Carson spent his childhood as an at-risk child on the streets of Detroit, and today he takes daily risks in performing complex surgeries on the brain and the spinal cord. Now, offering inspiring personal examples, Dr. Carson invites us to embrace risk in our own lives. From a man whose life dramatically portrays the connection between great risks and greater successes, here are insights that will help you dispel your fear of risk so you can dream big, aim high, move with confidence, and reap rewards you've never imagined. By avoiding risk, are you also avoiding the full potential of your life? The surgery was as risky as anything Dr. Ben Carson had seen. The Bijani sisters—conjoined twins—shared part of a skull, brain tissue, and crucial blood flow. One or both of them could die during the operation. But the women wanted separate lives. And they were willing to accept the risk to reach the goal, even against the advice of their doctors … As a child on the dangerous streets of Detroit, and as a surgeon in operating theaters around the world, Dr. Ben Carson has learned all about risk—he faces it on a daily basis. Out of his perilous childhood, a world-class surgeon emerged precisely because of the risks Dr. Carson was willing to take. In his compelling new book, he examines our safety-at-all-costs culture and the meaning of risk and security in our lives. In our 21st-century world, we insulate ourselves with safety. We insure everything from vacations to cell phones. We go on low-cholesterol diets and buy low-risk mutual funds. But in the end, everyone faces risk, like the Bijani twins did with their brave decision. Even if our choices are not so dramatic or the outcome so heartbreaking, what does it mean if we back away instead of move forward? Have we so muffled our hearts and minds that we fail to reach for all that life can offer us—and all that we can offer life? Take the Risk guides the reader through an examination of risk, including: • A short review of risk-taking in history. • An assessment of the real costs and rewards of risk. • Learning how to assess and accept risks. • Understanding how risk reveals the purpose of your lives."
The Blessing of Adversity – Barry Black
Chaplain Terry Johnsson talks to Dr. Barry Black about his latest book The Blessing of Adversity.
"Most people see trouble as something negative and seek to avoid it whenever possible. But what if it's those troubles that actually lead to greater blessing and purpose? In The Blessing of Adversity, a retired U.S. Navy admiral and the 62nd chaplain of the U.S. Senate distills the wisdom gained from thirty years as a counselor, theologian, and psychologist. Barry Black offers a blueprint for removing the sting of life's trials, showing us how to let God use our pain for his glory by blessing others—and how that can actually help heal our own pain. Drawing on Scripture and his own experiences as a counselor and chaplain to some of the most powerful people in the world, Black teaches us how to deal with seasons of God's apparent silence, offers techniques for staying encouraged in the middle of life's storms, and shows how to find advantages in adversity."
Breakaway: By the Grace of God: A 9/11 Survivor's Story of Love, Hope, and Healing
In your darkest hour God will never leave you. It's so hard to remember that sometimes. In our nation's darkest hour, God was there for two people in New York, one in the North Tower of the World Trade Center and one of a firefighter at the scene. You can download the interview to hear their story on Breakaway at the bottom of the page. You can also get a copy of their book here.
"For the most part, there was nothing particularly unusual about Jean Potter's life. Going right to work after graduating from high school, she spent most of her career as an executive assistant in several large New York-based companies. In fact, she was working for the managing director of Bank of America in its offices on the eighty-first floor of the North Tower of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
By the Grace of God is Jean's story—from her upbringing in Brooklyn, New York, to her jobs as assistant to several high-level executives, to her courtship and marriage to a New York City fireman, to setting up a home in Battery Park City, to that horrific day when she and her co-workers had to make their way down eighty-one flights of stairs in a desperate effort to escape the collapse of the North Tower. It's the story, too, of her husband, Dan, seeing flames erupting from the World Trade Center, and racing from Staten Island to Manhattan determined to help her, but, recognizing his duty as a fireman, stopping to help others even while he anguished over his wife's fate.
It's also the story of the extraordinary effect living through that day had on both of their lives—having to cope with the effects of post traumatic stress disorder; moving because they could no longer live in a home haunted by three thousand ghosts; giving up their jobs, Jean because she could no longer bear working in New York City and Dan because he'd been hurt in the collapse of the South Tower; and having to leave the city they had grown up in and loved. Perhaps most important, By the Grace of God is the story of how their faith enabled them to come to terms with their experience and to find a new life of love, hope, and healing."

Breakaway: Set Free to Live Free
"Imagine life with unlimited possibility, where fear, misconceptions, and insecurities don't have the power to rob us of our potential or our dreams. Many women have trouble seeing this vision because they are bound by mental ties that keep them from living free.
In Set Free to Live Free, Saundra Dalton-Smith shows women how to break free from seven mental ties that hold them back, including striving for perfection, comparing themselves to others, all-or-nothing attitudes, and more. Through case studies and inspirational writing, she encourages women to embrace spontaneity, be transparent, nurture their bodies, and cultivate a balanced life."

On Reading, Charters Outperform
The most recent round of reading tests show students attending charter schools in the city outperforming other public schools on reading tests.
A professor of education at Columbia Teachers College who studies charter schools, Jeffrey Henig, cautioned not to draw conclusions from the ten-point difference disclosed in the Sun's analysis. "Doing simple comparisons across one point in time is dangerous and misleading," Mr. Henig said. A fair assessment would chart each student's individual test score gains over time, he said, and would also control for outside factors like poverty, disabilities, and parental involvement.
Mr. Henig also pointed to the problem of selection bias. New York City charter schools have the same portion of low-income students as the rest of the city, 74%, more black students — 66% compared to 33% — and fewer Latinos, a department of education spokeswoman, Melody Meyer, said. But Mr. Henig said research shows teachers sometimes shuttle a disproportionate number of troubled or ambitious students into charters. "The question is, how do you sort that out?" he said. "You need better data."

Get the 10, 20, 30 or 40 yard dumpster you are looking for. Premier Dumpster Rental has you covered for Pittsburg Dumpster Rental! Call now at (855) 657-1884 for pricing and availability.
At the moment, not everybody is aware of where to start when taking up a development or remodeling job. Probably the most forgettable expenditures are the costs associated with dumpster rental. While these expenses may perhaps appear a little insignificant compared to the cost of the whole development undertaking, they should certainly not be forgotten. Considering the amount of waste that is expected to end up being present throughout a renovation job, it is only logical to dispose of it as rapidly as possible.
Normally, there are two types of containers that a person can book: a front-load container and a roll-off dumpster. The names of these types of dumpsters are representative of the method that is used to transfer and empty them. A front-load container is picked up, transported and emptied using a front-load mechanism on the container and truck. This method is usually regarded as more efficient as the dump truck can easily handle the material of more than one container. Roll off dumpsters are just 'rolled on' and 'rolled off' of the truck to as a way to transport and get rid of waste. Trucks are only equipped of carrying these dumpsters one at a time, which often could lead to increased costs for the dumpster rental company.
So which dumpster is right for your future project? Generally front-loads are only made available if you need permanent dumpster service for instance a restaurant or business. The hauler must undoubtedly also have access to the appropriate gear. These trucks are frequently more expensive, which implies that front-load containers may not be offered by all companies. With front-load containers, individuals can plainly get in touch with the haulers and have them send over a vehicle to dump the waste. The haulers do not have to move the dumpster to a dump site, but can in fact empty it right into the storage unit on the rear of the truck.
Most of us have no idea what to expect for dumpster prices. It will frequently be about $300-$500 for a weekly rental. Nevertheless, this price tag will fluctuate mainly based upon dumpster size, type, how quickly you actually require it, and the length of time you require it for. In addition, the proximity of a local dump is a consideration. Without many nearby dump sites, dumpster rental haulers definitely will have to travel farther to empty the debris. These fees will often be passed on from the hauler to the customer. In today's economy, more development projects are being carried out, meaning that dumpster rental is in higher demand. Therefore, it is important to get in touch with a hauler as soon as possible to lock in a preferred price.

A First Amendment Guide
In addition to these baseline distinctions, the religious-liberty clauses provide guiding principles for how teaching about religion may best be carried out in the classroom. Charles Haynes, the First Amendment Center's senior scholar, calls these principles the civic values at the heart of American citizenship: "They are so fundamental and enduring that they may be called the 'Three Rs' of religious liberty":
Rights: Religious liberty, or freedom of conscience, is a basic and inalienable right founded on the inviolable dignity of the person. In a society as religiously diverse as the United States, it is essential that schools emphasize that the rights guaranteed by the Constitution are for citizens of all faiths and none.
Responsibilities: Religious liberty is not only a universal right, but it also depends upon a universal responsibility to respect that right for others, treating others as we ourselves desire to be treated. All citizens must recognize the inseparable link between the preservation of their own constitutional rights and their responsibility as citizens to defend those rights for all others. This is what the Williamsburg Charter calls the "Golden Rule for civic life."
Respect: Debate and disagreement are vital to classroom discussion and a key element of preparation for citizenship in a democracy. Yet, if we are to live with our differences, particularly our religious differences, how we debate, and not only what we debate, is critical. At the heart of good citizenship is a strong commitment to the civic values that enable people with diverse religious and philosophical perspectives to treat one another with respect and civility.
Rights, responsibilities, and respect, then, Haynes says, are the civic ground rules for teaching about religion in the public schools, just as they are the ground rules of American citizenship. When we teach about the many cultures and religions of our nation and the world, we must simultaneously teach our common ground -- the civic values and responsibilities that we share as American citizens. If this is done, teaching about religion becomes an excellent opportunity to teach respect for universal rights and mutual responsibilities, within which the deep differences of belief can be negotiated.
FirstAmendmentCenter.org works to preserve and protect First Amendment freedoms through information and education. The center serves as a forum for the study and exploration of free-expression issues, including freedom of speech, of the press and of religion, and the rights to assemble and to petition the government.
