It's hard to believe we are packing up tonight and getting ready to go home. The trip has been a whirlwind of activity. On Monday my (biological) daughter Rachael and I spent a wonderful two hours with our adopted daughter and sister Hellen. She is a wonderful 20-year old woman who finished secondary school and has started a two-year program in catering (culinary) school. She comes from a small village 15-20 miles from town and is boarding at school in Tororo. She spoke fondly of life at home with her mother and six siblings, whom she misses dearly. At home days began at 6:00 am working in the gardens, preparing meals and tending the goats. In the evenings the family gathered together and told stories from the Bible, studied and prayed together.
I spent time this week with Irene, the hospital administrator at True Vine. Rachael and I met the hospital staff and toured the facility. Later in the week Irene invited us and our friends Katie and Alana to visit her for the day in Mbale, a large town an hour's drive to the north. We toured the regional hospital there (where I would confidently admit myself or my children), a local school and a children's bible class. We were treated to wonderful lunch at Irene's home with her family. It is hard to describe the extent of the hospitality that was shown us. We were treated to the most delicious Ugandan food which all of us thoroughly enjoyed. I was given the special honor of eating the gizzards from the roasted chicken which were delicious (no kidding!). A photographer took pictures and we were honored by a special cake cutting ceremony.
I also spent time this week with several pastors from Kenya who have come to True Vine to lead a training program for the pastors. More than 40 men and women serve churches throughout the region. Our good friend Pastor Chris Nyantika from Nakuru, Kenya, shared with me the heart-wrenching story of the violence there earlier this year in which he lost his church and home and barely escaped with his life.
Life is real here, and it is experienced in a way we seldom do in the States. We seldom experience life and death situations or are faced with hunger and extreme poverty. Yet these are common occurrences for many people here. The Ugandan Christians have a strong faith that is rooted in these difficult situations. They have much more in common with the people of Jesus' day than we Americans do, and I think they understand the gospel message in a more profound way. This is part of what draws us here and binds us together with our dear friends and brothers and sisters in Christ. Once this place gets into your system it is hard to get it out. I am sorry to be leaving so soon, and I am already planning my trip back next year.

This was a very powerful day for many in our group. Family time started us off in an attitude of caring for one another as we shared highlights and concerns. As the team settles in, there are more opportunities to choose from each day so I can only write about what I experienced. I know I hit the lottery from start to finish!
A group of us went into Tororo this morning and visited the main site for Smile Africa. Pastor Ruth has created an amazing ministry for widows and children there. She shared her experiences that led her to begin this outreach and her calling from God to do so. We had a chance to watch some of the women make the paper beads that we have fallen in love with, and a couple of us even got to try our hand at making them. We also shopped at the widow's store for handcrafts to take home. Boy, did we shop!
Pastor Ruth then took us to where the Karamojong children are fed and cared for. This was an experience of incredible joy and sorrow. Before we even got off the bus, hundreds of children began greeting us in song. They literally swarmed the bus in their happiness to greet us. But once off the bus, it is starkly apparent how impoverished these children are. The Karamojong children are a gypsy tribe that has been displaced from the Northern part of Uganda. They are often shunned within society and have resorted, along with their families, to scavenge for food on the streets. The ministry that Pastor Ruth has brought to them provides two meals a day and exposure to basic skills like hand washing. We mingled for a time before serving them their afternoon meal. Wednesday is the only day when they are able to have meat with their meal – one small stew-size piece in a bowl of rice. We so often take for granted having enough to eat, and it is humbling to see a child receive perhaps the only meat he or she will taste for days.
After returning to the hotel for lunch, a group of us – Jim, Becky, Katie, Natalie J. and I – joined Tom to attend a meeting with the Wanjala Yonah, the director of the Center for Human Rights, Democracy and Development. The meeting was held to discuss their partnership with Hope for Kids to bring a micro-lending program to the area to help individuals start businesses for themselves. It was a great meeting, and it gave many of us our first chance to join in policy development for the area. The CHDD has put together a comprehensive plan that has the potential to serve a great many individuals in creating their own businesses with the aid of small, low-interest loans and collaborative efforts with others in their area.
It was an honor to end the evening at the home of Pastor Agree for dinner with his family, Tom, Natalie & Nick (Tom's kids), Pastor Bob, Becky and Natalie. We were treated to the most incredible hospitality, warmth and delicious food! Pastor Agree's wife, Rosemary, and her good friend, Rita, had been preparing the meal for two days, and everyone around the room was in heaven. Tom's mouth had been watering all day for Rosemary's chicken – now we know why! Pastor Agree is a man of such deep faith and spiritual wisdom that when he shares his stories, you know you are in the presence of a great servant of God.

Today we visited Smile Africa and the Karamojong kids. We first went to the headquarters where the nursery school, office, and widows' store are located. The store, run by widows, single mothers, HIV positive women, and abused women served as a great outlet for the teams' shopping withdrawals. We bought everything from necklaces and bracelets to fabric and baskets. They were excited to see our group arrive and greeted us with song. Michelle M. distributed sweets to the kids in nursery school and, before we left, the grateful women honored us by giving us necklaces and wholehearted hugs. While we were at the office, we met Pastor Ruth, the wonderful woman who leads the efforts of Smile Africa. She told us about the history of the Karamojong tribe and we were shocked to hear of their many struggles. Considered outcasts in society, they are forced to take jobs that no one else wants and search through garbage for food that is often spoiled, poisoned, or inedible. When we approached the feeding center, we were overwhelmed by the massive crowd of nearly 400 children who immediately broke out into song while grabbing our hands through the windows to greet us. It was amazing to see such joy and excitement from children who have next to nothing. These kids were often standing naked or in rags while waiting for the rice, broth, and single piece of meat they would receive. Children flocked to us begging to be held and hugged, and, of course, to get their picture taken. When the food was ready, the children all lined up obediently to pray. We scooped the food onto plates from enormous pots, while the children waited patiently as we passed out the food. They eagerly accepted their special treat of meat, which they only receive on Wednesdays. The Karamojong kids were so appreciative of their small meal and the mzungus who served them. For many on our team, seeing the joy, love and need exuding from these children was an unforgettable experience. Despite the lack of love they have received, their laughs, smiles, and hugs were evidence of their capacity to love.
P.S.— This entire blog was typed by flashlight because both the power and the generator went out in the hotel. Ha ha. I guess this really is Africa (TIA)!

TIA—This is Africa
TIU—This is Uganda
We have been in Uganda for seven days now and I am still traveling from location to location searching for answers that can cure the ailing education system. Hope 4 Kids International's (H4KI) Tools 4 Schools (T4S) has taken upon itself to commit to bridging the gab between the scale of emergency and the scale of response in Uganda.
Once again, we, myself and Kathee Gaskin, have begun to see the success of all of our prayers, gifts, and financial support. Last year we visited primary, secondary, and university schools collecting information that would help us understand the African approach to education.
What we discovered last year is that our eyes did not lie. From student, teacher, administrator to parent all accounts led to the same: education is failing the children of Uganda.
With the release of Natalie Eggum's doctoral research in Uganda on the resiliency of the children and how stressors in life, extreme poverty, violence, and death, affect children's adjustment and development. What was revealed was that children saw education as the leading cause for HOPE.
In our commitment to bring HOPE to the children of Uganda, Kathee and I once again visited Joseph Wanjala's school HeReigns Secondary. The students, staff, and Mr. Wanjala greeted us with songs and speeches. And once again, I had the opportunity to speak to the staff and students about our commitment to them and their commitment to each other and Africa. From there, we were treated to a local feast and cake. It was celebration the whole day—it was also my birthday.
The real magic came at the end of the day, when Kathee and I, were able to put T4S to work with funds raised by friends from Indianapolis. We purchased 12.8 million Shillings ($8,000) in books for HeReigns and committed financially to building a library to hold and secure our investment to the children's dream.
In addition, with the financial support of those that are traveling with H4KI, we are adding to what T4S did last summer, which was the purchase of textbooks for all True Vine Preschool and textbooks for P-1 through P-4 at the Primary Schools. T4S is buying the remainder of the textbook for the primary levels: P-5 through P-7.
T4S has also collected support to connect the boarding houses to the showers and bathrooms with sand and gravel paths. This will allow the children to have some self-respect and pride in their home. We will also be adding concrete slabs and drainage around the two watering pumps. Now the area is mud and standing water.
The next day, we met with Mr. Aroda, District Inspector of Education. We spent three hours asking questions about the successes and failures in education in the Tororo District. Bottom line once again is we are stealing are children's dreams.
The HOPE is for more textbooks (now 1 book for every 7 students but wish for 1 book for every 3 students); more teachers and classrooms (now 1 teacher for every 87 students but wish for 1 student for every 40 students); food (as reported in a local newspaper, the number one reason for dropout was lack of food); and higher teacher pay and staff housing on site (the average pay for primary teachers is $1500 a year).
What H4KI and T4S have been doing since 2004 in the Tororo area is showing tangible results. Natalie Eggum's data also stated that 90% of the children polled felt that the rest of their life would be good. And the top reason for this was once again education.
What we do in Uganda is not about charity; it is about justice and equality. We must remember that these children look forward to competing in the same global market as Americans, Europeans, and Asians.
Our work here opens its doors to all that feel pulled to aid in bridging that gap between emergency and response.

Today my sister Natalie gave a presentation on the research she conducted last year about the children living here in Uganda. I must say, the results were thought-provoking to say the least. The statistics of the findings took a second for me to truly process at first. 80.3 % out of 61 children responding had endured the tragedy of a family member dying? This percentage is intimidating, considering that the age range of participants in the study was 6-20 years of age. The empirical evidence, mixed with putting faces to numbers is like seeing a color world with what was before black-and-white vision.
Seeing the condition of the youth here in Uganda is one thing, but actually knowing the amount of individuals that have dealt with so much in such a short experience of life is extremely humbling. It reminds me of a quote spoken by the late defensive end Reggie White. "God places the heaviest burdens on those who can carry its weight". TIA

It is hard to believe we have only five more days here in Tororo before we begin the trip home. For me the time is much too short. The trip here is a long one, and with our touring in Western Uganda (which was incredible), most of us were pretty beat when we arrived. There is so much to experience and absorb here that it is overwhelming at times. Many of us "hit the wall" a day or two ago, but are getting our second wind and taking full advantage of our time here.
My church, Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd in Torrance, CA, and Messiah Lutheran in Yorba Linda, CA, have been the principal sources for the building and maintenance of the Medical Center at True Vine. I have spent much of time the last few days with the Center staff, particularly the Administrator Irene Okwenje. I met Irene last July, not long after she was hired. It has been a pleasure to get to know her and work along side her. I have been main liaison between Irene and Hope 4 Kids (a position I am poorly qualified for and hope to turn over to a team of medical professionals in the coming year). It was a great joy for me to deliver the proceeds of our recent fundraiser for the mid-wife/pediatric program at the Center. A new house for the mid-wife and one other medical staff person was started about 10 days ago on the mission site. Believe it or not, the brick foundation and walls are up, the tin roof in on and the floors are being installed. Plans for soliciting applications, interviewing and hiring the mid-wife are underway. On Thursday Tom Eggum (H4K) and Pastor Wilbur of True Vine will be traveling to Kampala to look at used minivans which have been refurbished in Dubai and are waiting to be entered through Customs in Uganda. The van will be used by the mid-wife and medical staff for emergency transport, community outreach, immunizations and other needs. I met with the medical staff yesterday to announce the plans and they are thrilled about the new program. We are also pursing plans to purchase an x-ray machine for the Center. LCGS is able to contribute a significant portion of the cost and we are looking into ways to finance the balance of the cost to purchase and service the machine. Thanks to all of you who contributed so generously to the program. It will have a huge impact on this area where the needs are so great.

Today some of the team members were able to see their kids at the main site. It was great seeing the sponsored kids happy to meet their sponsor for the first time. Then i took Bob Mooney out to see one of his sponsored kids. Natalie and Rachel went with us on this journey. We talked about Bob's boy and by finding out more about this child we discovered that this boy would really benefit from going to a boarding school. Natalie Chavis said that she would share the sponsorship with Bob in this child's life. So next year he will start in boarding school. Boarding school is one of the things that are making a big difference in the kids in Africa. We are thankful for the sponsors that are putting these kids in boarding and praying for more sponsors to put more kids in the boarding schools. We had a great day visiting today.

We have been on the go for almost four days now. We are all very tired but we are well and are having quite an adventure. We arrived in Uganda late in the evening Wednesday (after 25-27 hours of travel) and spent the night in Entebbe before heading west to Fort Portal Thursday morning. About five hours later we arrived in this beautiful, mountainous area not far from the Congo border. Thanks to the cool, moist winds from Lake Victoria the region is cool and lush. In the afternoon we toured the 15-acre farm of Mwesigwa Kamanyire James, the project coordinator of Sunrise House here in town. James grows bananas, papayas, guavas, sugar cane and coffee beans (which have wonderful small white flowers that smell like gardenias). He also raises chickens and dairy cows, as well as tilapia in his aquaculture ponds. We received a wonderful sampling of some of his fresh fruits and honey from his bee hives.
Later in the afternoon James took us to Sunrise House, an orphanage that houses 51 children and supports an additional 16 in boarding schools. Hope 4 Kids recently began partnering with Sunrise House and currently sponsors 25 of their children. They have a new building that is able to house 40 to 50 more children, but they lack the money to support them. Our hope is that the H4K sponsorships will continue to grow to fill this new dorm. We also met James' father, retired Anglican Bishop Eustace K. Kamayire, the Founder of Sunrise House. He is a wonderful, godly gentleman who has faithfully served his church and country before, during and after the reign of Idi Amin. The children showed us their dorms, then thrilled us with songs and dance. Children throughout this country sing and dance as none others I have seen or heard. It was quite a treat.
This morning we loaded into three minivans and headed south along western Uganda to Queen Elizabeth National Park, one of the crown jewels of country. It was a two to three hour drive to the park which sits along the shores of Lakes Edward and George which are fed by the Rwenzori Mountains to the west. The first signs of the adventures awaiting us came during lunch outside at the visitors center. We were excited to see a family of warthogs come trotting through the courtyard. Shortly afterward a small elephant joined us. After lunch we boarded a boat for a tour of the Kazinga Channel, a 32 kilometer long waterway that connects the two lakes. This tour was the inspiration for Disney's Jungle Cruise, and we soon learned why. We saw groups of four, five and up to ten or more hippos lounging in the shallows, and saw hundreds by the time we were done. There were many water buffalo, and an amazing assortment of birds.
Later in the afternoon we boarded the minivans and set out in search of lions and other wild game. We saw many warthogs, a group of rare forest hogs, many waterbuck and kob (an antelope which is the national animal of Uganda). An hour or more into the land tour, our ranger guide spotted a pride of lions off in the tall grass. They were barely visible from the road, so the guide said we could make a quick trip off the track to get a short look, We drove in and all of us got a good look at the pride. Pastor Bob (Messiah Lutheran, Yorba Linda, CA) is an avid photographer and apparently he could not get enough great shots. The guide, who was in our van, urged us all to leave. Two of the vans did so, but Pastor Bob and his van stayed for just one more shot. As we got back to the track we watched as a park police officer sped towards Bob's van which was still out near the lions. We later learned that he approached them rifle in hand and proceeded to inform them they were all under arrest. Fortunately, James from Sunrise House was with and talked the officer into allowing them to pay a 30,000 shilling fine (less than $20). Before they left one of the group asked if they could drive around the pride one last time before they left, and the officer kindly agreed. It was just another example of Ugandan hospitality!
It was a long, grueling bus ride back to Fort Portal. We are exhausted, and have a ten-hour bus ride ahead of us tomorrow. God willing we will arrive at our mission site in Tororo tomorrow evening, and will worship with our Ugandan friends on Sunday. Thanks to all of you for your prayers and support. (After we arrive in Tororo, we will post some the great pictures we have taken, including one of Bob's lion shots.)

Yesterday we made the 10-hour drive from Fort Portal to Tororo, traversing almost all of Southern Uganda. It ended our 4 ½ day travel marathon. The trip to Western Uganda was long but inspiring. We got a glimpse of some of the amazing natural beauty of this country. We toured the True Vine site in the evening and saw all the recent progress on the 35-acre main site. Much has happened since my last visit in July '07.
This morning we worshipped at the True Vine church. I joined the early English-only service which is geared for the younger crowd, almost all of whom speak English. 40 True Vine pastors from throughout the region who are here for the Bible Institute also attended. It was a privilege for me to share a message from Ephesians chapters 1-3, and a vision of the future of the church in Uganda. The later service was an experience in African Pentecostal worship which is like no other. Michelle B. observed that worship is an aerobic experience here. Our team joined in the dancing and celebration, complete with lifting chairs above their heads and singing "Higher and Higher." Pastor Bob gave an animated sermon on the hope and unity of the Church. He did a great job preaching, but he still needs to work on his dancing.
The team is off this afternoon to visit the Tororo public hospital to pray with the patients there. The weather here is wonderful with cool evenings and pleasant days. The rain yesterday settled the dust and was a blessing for the many crops in the area. June was a particularly dry month, so the rain is much welcomed. Thanks to all of you as you continue to pray for the success of our many activities for the coming week.

Today the team arrived to Tororo. They had a long journey but it all went well. They are happy to be here. We all went over to the main site and Tom gave everyone a tour. Some of the team members like Bob Mooney and Dave Peters were amazed at all that has been done on the site. And all the new team members were excited to see all the kids there. We then came back to the hotel and the team ate dinner and are now able to unpack to stay for the week. We are excited to have them here and i know God is going to do great things through this new team.
(We had another blog by Dave Peter's today that did not make it through the internet. We will wait to hear from him. Keep Checking)

PULLMAN, Wash. - Matt Argyropoulos and Derek Jones each homered to lead Washington State past Washington 5-2 in Pacific-10 Conference baseball, Friday at Bailey-Brayton Field.
The power surge gave Adam Conley (5-5) the victory after the southpaw gave up two runs and struck out six in seven and two-thirds innings.
"Adam Conley did not have his best stuff, but gave us a great effort tonight," Washington State Head Coach Donnie Marbut said. "Offensively, we got a couple of big swings from Jones and Argyropoulos."
The Cougars (18-19, 4-12 Pac-10) went on top 2-0 in the second on a double by Taylor Ard in front of a bomb over the right-center field wall off the bat of Argyropoulos. The Huskies (12-26, 3-10 Pac-10) picked up a run in the third on a walk, a hit by pitch and a single.
Jones led off the fourth with a home run down the right field line against Geoff Brown (1-5). It was the 31st home run of the junior's career, eighth all-time at Washington State.
In the fifth, Jay Ponciano led off with a double and Adam Nelubowich walked. Both runners moved up on a sacrifice bunt by Kyle Johnson and Cody Bartlett was intentionally walked to load the bases. Brett Jacobs made the Huskies pay with a two-run single that increased the Cougars' advantage to 5-1.
Washington added a run in the seventh on three hits. Conley received helped from his defense as the Cougars chalked up a double play in each of the first-four innings. In the eighth, it was J.D. Leckenby who picked up Conley by recording the final out of the inning with a man aboard.
Paris Shewey worked the ninth for his eighth save, best in the Pac-10. The left-hander moved into a tie for fifth on the Cougar single-season list and his 11-career saves are tied for third all-time at Washington State.
The series continues Saturday at noon.

Gypsy music can be classified in a combination of three ways: 1. Music played by the Roma people. 2. Music played with chest-based vocals, microtonal sounds and loose, free solos. 3. An adaptation and combination of host music. Some question the existence of pure Gypsy music, as the style differs in different areas. The Roma people borrow characteristics of local and regional areas which they took on to new areas, so Middle Eastern Gypsy music will sound different from Finnish Gypsy music. Read more on Last.fm.

It seems, after several successful re-boots and OE startups, that
emptying and compacting the default OE folders has in fact cleared
up the problem with OE "freezing" when Send/Recv attempts to run.
I thought too that the fix for OE "freezing" might also clear up the
"OE did not shut down properly" message I get on most, if not all,
morning startups of OE. Have you seen that problem occur where
OE is closed regularly using the normal "X" close method?
"Bruce Hagen" <Nospam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message
There are a number of possibilities, so I think it's best to start with
the easiest.
Move all mail out of any default OE folder to user created folders.
Follow up by compacting.
Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are
open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the
Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything
until the compacting is completed.
Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant
layer of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems
such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program
will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:

Just within the past week or so, OE freezes

but as soon as I click on "Send/Recv" OE
"hour-glasses" and I have to cancel with the

There are no error messages nor do I get the
opportunity to log the condition with MS.
The problem clears up if I re-boot the
I've been using OE for at least 10 years or
more without any difficulties. I don't see
anything in recent MS updates pertaining to
OE, so I can't tell if any recent MS updates
are to blame or not.
Any suggestions?

March 30, 2012 - Philadelphia
The American Institute of Chemists (AIC) has announced Elizabeth H. Blackburn, Morris Herzstein Professor of Biology and Physiology in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), will receive the 2012 AIC Gold Medal. It will be presented at the Chemical Heritage Foundation (CHF) during Heritage Day on Thursday, 12 April 2012. Heritage Day is CHF's annual celebration of achievement in the chemical and molecular sciences.
"The AIC Gold Medal was the first major prize in chemistry awarded to a woman, Mabel Garvan in 1929," said David Manuta, AIC president. "At Heritage Day 2012 we will present the AIC Gold Medal for the first time to a woman who is also a Nobel laureate. It is a great honor for us to add the name Elizabeth Blackburn to the roll of 87 great chemists who have received the AIC Gold Medal over the past eight decades."
About Elizabeth H. Blackburn
Elizabeth H. Blackburn is a leader in the area of telomere and telomerase research. She discovered the molecular nature of telomeres—the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes that serve as protective caps essential for preserving the genetic information—and the ribonucleoprotein enzyme telomerase. Blackburn and her research team at UCSF are working with various cells, including human cells, with the goal of understanding telomerase and telomere biology.
Blackburn earned B.Sc. (1970) and M.Sc. (1972) degrees from the University of Melbourne, and a Ph.D. (1975) from the University of Cambridge. She did her postdoctoral work in molecular and cellular biology at Yale University.
In 1978 Blackburn joined the faculty at the University of California, Berkeley, in the Department of Molecular Biology. In 1990 she joined the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at UCSF, where she served as department chair from 1993 to 1999. She is also a nonresident fellow of the Salk Institute.
Throughout her career Blackburn has been honored by her peers as the recipient of many prestigious awards. She was elected president of the American Society for Cell Biology for 1998. Blackburn is an elected fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1991), the Royal Society of London (1992), the American Academy of Microbiology (1993), and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2000).
In 1993 she was elected foreign associate of the National Academy of Sciences and in 2000 as a member of the Institute of Medicine. She was awarded the Albert Lasker Medical Research Award in Basic Medical Research (2006). In 2007 she was named one of Time's "100 Most Influential People," and she is the 2008 North American laureate of the L'Oreal−UNESCO Award for Women in Science.
In 2009 Blackburn was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

I finally convinced upper management that we need a computer replacement plan, and I've been tasked with making an inventory of what we have and determining what needs to be replaced this year, next year, the year after, etc. I had to use some sort of criteria to back up my recommendations, so I decided to try using the Windows Experience Index.
I've determined the CPU and Memory scores for all of our desktops and servers using community data. I also feel fairly successful in assigning a WEI score to each user based on their computing needs. I'm struggling with assigning a WEI score to the various servers that we have: file server, database server, Exchange server, backup server (for doing backups), web server. Suggestions would be appreciated.

A long list of Tennesseans were recently slapped in the face by an ignorant school administrator who felt that the words "Bless you" were neither protected by the US Constitution nor allowed under inane rules of the Dyer Country High School where one Peggy Dodds is its principal. All Gore. Chet Atkins. Isaac Hayes. Justin Timberlake. Morgan Freeman. Pat Boone. Daniel Boone. Tennessee Ernie Ford. Well…the list of famous people hailing from "the greatest state in the Land of the Free" just keeps goin' on 'n on…don't it? And now, to cap this list in the year of our Lord (oops, another violation of Dyer HS rules) 2014 a notable dummy is created in global media when she decides to suspend a student for infraction of rules – rules, by the way that certainly do contravene constitutional freedom but appear merely, by those supporting them, to uphold school discipline.
Especially as adults, as community leaders and as role models, we must remember that we are first and foremost Americans, and not some kind of politically correct knee-jerk riffraff that has carte blanche to destroy young lives or inculcate a climate of fear in those over whom we literally lord at all hours of the day.

Nominate what's there and what's needed by December 1
What's your favorite place to get out on the water, swim or fish? Where is a boat ramp, fishing pier or trail needed? Now is the time to tell the National Park Service your thoughts.
Use the interactive online mapper, already marked with existing sites and past suggestions, to share your suggestions for new public access sites across the Chesapeake Bay watershed. But hurry, there are only a few days left: the mapper is only open until December 1.
Master Watershed Stewards may not have super powers, but they are cleaning up their communities
Going down John Dawson's street in Severna Park, you can't miss the rain garden he's planted in his front yard — and that's exactly how he wants it.
Annapolis-based nonprofit pays to find out
Can nature heal us?
Tom and Kitty Stoner have invested $20 million in answering that question.
Keeping the agricultural tradition alive at American Chestnut Land Trust's Double Oak Farm
As Jeff Klapper walks among the rows of strawberries and kale, he snaps off a thick purple stalk of asparagus.
Seeing Klapper's ease with the land and the food he grows, you would not imagine he came to Double Oak Farm after a career in commercial engraving.
The Chesapeake's new reality TV stars
Tom and Audrey have become the Chesapeake's newest and most popular reality TV stars.
This charismatic duo, living on the Eastern Shore, is popular with more than locals. The Chesapeake Conservancy's Osprey Cam has been watched in 48 different countries since its launch at the end of March.
Free deposits and free withdrawals keep this bank solvent
Last year, Bruce Michalec's bank gave away $1.25 million. It was his busiest in 27 years, but 2013 is on track to break the 2012 record. That's because hunger and need are the forces that drive the growth of Anne Arundel County's central food bank.
Winners and losers in this year's General Assembly
Not everyone made out well with environmental legislation this year.
"This session started with a landmark legislative win for the environmental community when the offshore wind bill sailed through both chambers," said Karla Raettig, executive director of Maryland League of Conservation Voters.
Bridges to become waterway access points
As cars rumble over newly built bridges, Marylanders will be paddling beneath them. As soon as 2014, bridges will no longer be only routes over rivers. They will also be places where Marylanders can safely get down to the water to fish, canoe and kayak.
John Maounis marked the trail for you
The Chesapeake Bay is not any old park. When is the last time you saw a park that was entirely on the water?
When John Maounis started work as superintendent at the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay office seven years ago, he had never seen such a thing either. His job was to find the best way for the National Park Service to be a part of Bay protection.
Waterway Access Bill would get Charlie Stek — and you — safely to the water
Charlie Stek wanted his son to experience nature, fishing and paddling rivers. With Maryland's 10,000 miles of rivers and streams — crossed by 5,176 bridges — that ought to be easy.
Yet there was no safe way to get to the water.
To fish the Patuxent, Stek and his son Alex had to park on blind curves, jump guardrails and scamper down banks.

Kentucky Derby
This highlight of the US racing calendar is a Grade I stakes race for three-year-old thoroughbreds held in Churchill Downs, Louisville. The Derby is the culmination of the 14-day Kentucky Derby Festival.
The bluegrass fields of Kentucky have been a major centre of horse breeding since the late 18th century. The Derby took its inspiration from the Epsom Derby and the Grand Prix de Paris. It dates to 1875, when it was originally run over 1.5 miles. In 1896 the distance was reduced to 1.25 miles.
A number of traditions enhance the atmosphere of the Derby. It is customary to sip mint juleps (an iced drink consisting of bourbon, mint and sugar). A popular dish enjoyed by race-goers is burgoo, a stew of beef, chicken, pork and vegetables.
The infield, the spectators' area adjacent to the track, is filled with revellers more interested in partying than racing.
The expensive box seats, known as 'Millionaires' Row', are frequented by the rich and famous. In full Derby tradition, women dress up and wear elaborate hats.
Since 1904, the race's official flower has been the red rose. Each year the winning jockey is presented with a bouquet of 60 long-stemmed roses, wrapped in 10 yards of ribbon. The Kentucky Derby has therefore been dubbed the 'Run for the Roses'.

Wicked Cute Halloween Party (22 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Party Details by Cristina
My 3 year old princess inspired me to style a party for young trick-or-treaters. I tried to stay away from scary décor and focused on using colorful props to create a fun atmosphere for the young guests. Hand Painted Wooden Halloween Picks featuring owls, bats, spiders and witch hats made cute centerpieces. I DIYed the Orange Petal Lanterns which added a pop of color to the sweet table. I also included black and orange Cake Pop Flowers, made with Petite Blossom Cups, for a unique touch to the Halloween Décor.
The sweet treats included lemon petit fours, french vanilla cupcakes, jello Petite Glasses with ghost marshmallows, cake pops, white chocolate covered apples with a layer of orange sugar sprinkles and marshmallow pops.

On Wednesday, August 13, the Elizabeth L. Ring Neighborhood Library commemorated its 50th anniversary of community service. The library opened on July 31, 1964, and within 3 weeks, 88% of its collection was in circulation. Houston City Council Member Brenda Stardig, (District A) gave the keynote address. She grew up on Laverne Street (the same street as Mayor Annise Parker) only about half mile, or 10 minute walk from the library, so both used the Ring library in their early childhood years. Houston Public Library Director Dr. Rhea Brown Lawson then emphasized the mission for the Ring branch and for all Houston libraries. Ring Library staff member Kathy Carmichael presented a summary of the remarkable achievements of Elizabeth L. Ring.
Mrs. Ring was born Elizabeth Fitzimmons on October 31, 1857. In the 19th century, private reading clubs for one sex only provided access to books for their members. Males joined the Houston Lyceum, and Elizabeth Ring was active in the Houston Ladies Reading Club. Through persistence and tenacity, she was instrumental in creating a public library available for all. She died in 1941 survived by her 2 sons, Robert and Roland. Following the speeches, Ms. Carmichael interviewed Nancy Vreugde, a granddaughter of Elizabeth L. Ring, who shared fond childhood memories of the family matriarch. She also introduced nearly a dozen family members who were present for the occasion.
The Ring Library was the 12th branch library has a unique circular design, for which the architectural firm Hamilton Brown and Associates,lead by the father of former Council Member Peter Brown, received an award from the Texas Gulf Coast Chapter of the National Society of Interior Designers. The library underwent a major renovation in 2009 with the addition of a meeting room that extended the original circular shape of the building.

Spring is here with its weird weather patterns that sometimes keep the children indoors. So having some ideas up your sleeve for those days might come in handy.
The pleasure of forming a shape or pounding play dough or drawing a picture for the refrigerator gallery are just a couple simple joys of early childhood. Plus children learn about muscle control and develop their small muscles when they do activities that make use of their hands.
Here are a few recipes that are inexpensive, yet will provide plenty of amusement for young children.
Molding sand
4 cups fine sand; 2 cups cornstarch; 4 teaspoons cream of tartar; 3 cups of hot water; vegetable oil
Measuring cups, measuring spoons, large saucepan, wooden spoon
Add sand, cornstarch and cream of tartar. Stir in water with wooden spoon. Cook on medium heat. Stir until mixture gets too thick to stir. Let cool before using. Coat hands with oil before molding. (please note that this cannot be stored for reuse!)
Recycled crayons
Ever wonder what to do with that shoebox of broken and "too short" crayons?? Here is a good idea.
Broken or used crayons
Muffin tin, paper liners (cupcake liners)
Tear wrappers off crayons. Sort crayons by color. Put paper liners in muffin tins. Place crayons into muffin tin, a different color in each cup. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake until crayons are melted. Cool. Peel away paper liners. Viola! Ready for drawing!!
Coffee clay
¼ cup instant coffee, 1 ½ cups warm water, 4 cups flour, 1 cup salt
2 mixing bowls, measuring cups, wooden spoon, fork
Place coffee in a bowl. Add water and stir to dissolve. In second bowl, mix flour and salt. Use spoon to make a hollow in the center of the flour mixture. Pour coffee into hole. Mix dough. Knead until shiny. (after molding, clay can either be stored in a plastic bag for reuse or hardened by baking in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour.
So enjoy trying out these inexpensive ideas with your child. For more information check out the book The Cooking Book by Laura J. Colker.

The Diamond as Big as the Ritz
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Diamond as Big as the Ritz Religion Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Section.Paragraph)
Quote #1
John T. Unger came from a family that had been well known in Hades—a small town on the Mississippi River—for several generations. (1.1)
Notice that Fitzgerald introduces religion in the first sentence of his story – before we've even started talking about wealth or power. This supports the argument that "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz" might be primarily concerned with religion.
Quote #2
John's first two years there passed pleasantly. The fathers of all the boys were money-kings and John spent his summers visiting at fashionable resorts. (1.4)
Notice that the patriarchs are described as "money-kings" – already there is an element of the mythological in this story.
Quote #3
When [John] told them where his home was they would ask jovially, "Pretty hot down there?" and John would muster a faint smile and answer, "It certainly is." His response would have been heartier had they not all made this joke—at best varying it with, "Is it hot enough for you down there?" which he hated just as much. (1.4)
There is a double meaning to this question. On the one hand, the men may be referring to the fact that John is from Mississippi – a far cry from Boston and of course a different (much hotter) climate. But it's also yet another poke in the ribs for the reader to remind him that John is from Hades, another name for Hell.

Fans of both Celtic Frost and Riverdance, rejoice! Swiss folk metallers Eluveitie have returned, delivering with Origins another set of tunes that sound something like a mash-up of the Wacken Open Air festival and the music played at a Rennaissance fair.
While it's obvious upon first listen that it's something of a concept album , or at least an album organized around a theme, but it can be a little difficult to discern what's going on. That's largely because a good deal of the album is in Gaulish, an ancient (and dead) Celtic language once spoken in the area now occupied by France. While the word "Celtic" is most commonly associated with the British aisles (witness the Boston Celtics), it once constituted a family of language that extended into Europe's mainland.
The choice of language is fitting, given that the concept behind the album has something to do with Gaulish mythology. It's difficult to pick up on a specific storyline, having to do with nobles and deities and monsters, but the use of an indecipherable language also adds something to the album's mystique. And mystique is something sorely needed with folk metal, since it often sounds like two distinct styles of music playing independently of one another, rather than as two parts of a larger whole.
Both elements are delivered competently, although on either count the band can sometimes sound like they're on autopilot, delivering the same refrains over and over. The band is at their best when they provide variations on the theme. While most people interested in Eluveitie will come from the metal side of the spectrum, some of the better moments come when the folk side of the music has a more commanding presence, as it does on "Celtos." Elsewhere, the band alternates the differing sides rather than playing them simultaneously, moving back and forth between folk and metal, which creates some interesting song dynamics. The band also employs a variety of vocals in song and speech. The metal voice is fairly consistent, delivered in a raspy, nearly death metal style growl. But otherwise male and female vocalists contribute to the songs, both in solos and in choruses. There are also a number of spoken word passages, in English, which give the listener a few more hints as to the nature of the storyline, as well as adding to the overall aesthetic.

Hello Nice theme
I added <?php wp_link_pages(); ?> to the single.php to have post pagination but it doesn't seem to work with theme
Any fix ?
Thank you Christian
I have tested and works, We have already the function "wp_link_pages()" into the "single.php" file. Add in the post when you are in text mode this tag after the paragraph to create the pages:
And to format better the pagination for post replace this
<?php wp_link_pages('before=
'.__('Pages:','weblionmedia').'&after=
&link_before=
&link_after=
'); ?>
with this line:
<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '
'.__('Pages:','weblionmedia').' ', 'after' => '
', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>

At the moment WordPress does not allow to use more inputs for registration. I have to change the registration process, to not use the default WordPress registration, but to make my own. Please contact me via our Profile page and send all details regards this question. Thank you.
i want to buy the theme, but i have one question. Is it possible to build several sites like the homepage? Many themes here have the problem, that they just offer one homepage with these cool sliders. But I need some of theme where I can show different categorys in the sliders. So is there a page builder where I can add these Sliders like on the homepage of your demo?
Thank you for interesting in purchase the BusinessNews WordPress theme.
The homepage is fully customizable and all sections can be created with shortcodes. Shortcodes are included in WP Editor.
Best regards,
First of all thank you for great template worth every penny spent! my not finished implementation on dev server is here http://www.m2m-magazine.com/
I have small question though I've noticed that when I create new post random tags are added to this new post. I've changed theme to different one and this is not happening so I suppose this is feature of the Business News theme (it is nice feature but not in my case as our authors pick tags themselves) I did not found how to disable this option. I'm happy to edit code but I couldn't find place. Can you please advice?
Looking forward to hear back from you soon.
Thank you very much for your appreciation. Business News theme doesn't have this option. Do you get the tags only for blog posts or also for "news" custom post type? Did you checked installed plugins, maybe one of them generate automatically tags from the existing content?
Please, write me using the contact form in my profile. There we could take a look to this closer, I will help you with this!http://themeforest.net/user/WebLionMedia#contact
Best regards,
Hi, Thank you for super quick response. No worries if it's not Theme problem than I will look further. I'm not using custom post types only posts and applying to categories (mostly becouse I had to import load of articles together with images from orginal old page) problem appears on blog posts. If I will find something I will let you know.
Kind regards, Maciej

Teacher wants to retain my 2nd grader. I'm not sure what to do.
Up until her 2nd grade year, my daugher made all A's. This year, she made all B's and a 68 in Reading for the year. Since they combine Reading with English, she had an average of 75 on her language arts. On the end of the year test, she passed the comprehension. She reads on a 2nd grade level. She should read on 2nd grade level 5. She is a 2nd grade level 3. She only reads 53 wpm and should read 90 wpm. She was diagnosed through the school with Irlan Syndrome. They are testing her for dyslexia. She is begging me to let her move on to third. I'm worried for her since she did poorly on Reading. My husband wants to send her to a tutor over the summer and move her to 3rd grade with her friends. I've signed her up for the reading club at the local library. I have found a tutor. This is so hard. I'm not sure what to do. I'm a very hands on mom and hate to see her struggle.In Topics: School and Academics, Helping my child with reading, Learning issues and special needs

As time marches closer to the retrial of the sentencing phase in the Jodi Arias trial for the murder of Travis Alexander, convicted felon Jodi Arias is pulling out every stop to delay the inevitable. It was previously reported by the Toronto Relationships Examiner that first chair for the defense, Kirk Nurmi, filed yet another motion this month asking to be removed from the case after Judge Sherry Stephens granted Jodi's motion to represent herself in the retrial of the sentencing phase in the case of the State of Arizona versus Jodi Arias. NBC News reported last week that Jodi asked the courts that if the motion to remove Kirk Nurmi from the case was successful, she would change her mind on self representation. That motion was denied, and Jodi is moving forward to prepare her own defense. Radar Online reported Aug.17 that the next step for Jodi as she prepares her case is to hire a private investigator that will be seeking witnesses to corroborate her allegations of abuse by the victim of this murder, Travis Alexander. This suggests that abuse allegations will take front and center at the retrial of the sentencing phase for the Jodi Arias trial, a suggestion that will make this retrial all the more difficult for the family of the victim.
It is a move that "sickens" those that love the dearly beloved and deeply mourned Travis Alexander. Travis Alexander was a good man, motivational speaker, and led a life that inspired others to reach for their highest success possible. To allege that this man could also be an abuser, is an allegation that those close to the victim find deeply disturbing.
But Jodi Arias is convinced to pull out every stop to save her life, and accusing those that have passed on of abuse is a stop that is not too low for her. To date, Jodi Arias, a convicted felon with a history of lying, is the only person that has ever accused the victim Travis Alexander of abuse. While Jodi appears to be full of allegations against someone who is unable to defend himself, because of her actions, she has hired someone to find as much evidence of abuse as possible.
Will she be successful? Doubtful. If the victim in this murder trial were an abuser, after 6 years of evidentiary discovery and a lengthy death penalty murder trial, certainly that evidence would have come forward by now. It hasn't, because there is no evidence to corroborate Jodi's claims that she was abused by Travis.
Not only that, but new jurors in this case will also be told the multiple lies that Jodi Arias told that date back to 2008 when the savage murder occurred. Every lie that prosecutor for the State, Juan Martinez will bring forward, will be one more piece of evidence that will crush any credibility she may try to build with her new jury.
Jodi Arias clearly understands the mountain of issues before her, and Radar Online reported Aug. 17 that she is doing everything she can to substantiate her claims of abuse. Radar reports that one effort Jodi is making is to hire a private investigator who will be seeking additional witnesses to testify against a man who is unable to defend himself, the victim in this murder trial.
During the guilt phase of the trial for the murder of Travis Alexander, Jodi Arias claimed that she was a victim of domestic violence and this caused her to snap one night. On that night she snapped, she claims her domestic violence ultimately forced her to kill Travis Alexander three times. Radar Online reports she has hired a private investigator to help her substantiate these claims, and that she will be paying for this investigator from the money she accumulates from selling her jail art online.
It begs the question, are there actually people purchasing Jodi artwork? Perhaps. This is not the only development in this case.
As previously reported by the Toronto Relationships Examiner, first chair for the defense Kirk Nurmi has made another motion to get as far away from Jodi Arias as possible. It is not his first attempt, as Kirk Nurmi has been trying to remove himself from this case, almost since it began. When Jodi asked the courts to be allowed to self-represent, Kirk Nurmi took this as his cue to withdraw.
NBC News reported last week that Jodi Arias appeared before the Maricopa County Superior Courts on Aug. 13 and told the court she would reverse her decision to self-represent, if she was permitted to fire Kirk Nurmi and have him removed from the case. In the first hearing where Jodi Arias defended herself, she also asked the Maricopa County Superior Courts to not only reverse the decision to self-represent, but she also requested another delay in the trial to prepare for her case.
NBC News reported that in her request to delay the inevitable, again, Jodi stated that she was having a difficult time interviewing witnesses. It seems that being in jail poses a little bit of a pickle when it comes to collecting evidence, and interviewing witnesses. This wrinkle is being experienced by Jodi Arias, despite the fact that she has been granted special privileges in the jail such as extended visiting hours and extended privileges on the phone in order to do just that, prepare her case.
Juan Martinez strenuously objected to Jodi creating yet another delay in a case that has taken 6 years to come to sentencing. He argued before the Maricopa County Superior Courts on Wednesday that when Jodi was granted the motion to self-represent, she also agreed to the current timetable where the sentencing trial would begin on Sept. 8.
WTOP News reporting out of Phoenix, Arizona, reported Aug. 15 that Kirk Nurmi's motion to withdraw from the case has been denied. Kirk Nurmi will remain on the case in an advisory role, and this will set the stage for Jodi Arias to represent herself at trial. Jodi Arias will appear again before the Maricopa County Superior Courts on Aug. 22 to argue for yet another delay in the case.
When she asked Judge Sherry Stephens if she could self-represent, the judge made it clear, "There will be no delays." As such, it is unlikely that Jodi will be successful in establishing more delays in this case.
With the alleged new development about the private investigator seeking abuse witnesses against Travis Alexander, it is suspected that allegations of abuse will take center stage at the trial. That is, if these allegations that Jodi is selling artwork to pay for a private investigator to prove she was abused are even true. To many, it sounds like just another famous Jodi Arias lie.
Allegations of abuse by the victim in this case, are not just sickening to the family members and loved ones of Travis Alexander. Jodi Arias claims of abuse by Travis are also claims that real abuse victims find deeply offensive.
A picture of Travis Alexander created by the National Coalition for Men tells a startling tale of who the real abuse victim was in this case. The picture of Travis reads,
"I was shot. I was stabbed 29 times. My throat was cut. I was abandoned. I am the REAL victim of domestic violence. I am Travis Alexander."
Meanwhile, the person alleging abuse has never been found to have a scratch on her, other than minor injuries sustained during the savage and brutal killing.
Which evidence will the jury believe?
Will Jodi be successful in convincing jurors she was abused by Travis Alexander? What do you think?

I've encountered a test that uses the cumulative value of a finite time series to deterime the data set's stationarity.
I would like to know the characteristics of this test in frequency space, so would therefore need to know the fourier transform of this cummalative function.
I was assuming that the function could be writen as the product of the initial time series function, f, and a heavyside step function, H. With the defining function written as:
$g(t) = \sum^{t}_{n=1} f(n) H(t-n) $
I would like to know fourier transform of the function g(t). Is there a straightforward solution to this function or does the use of the discontinuous step function make a solution impossible.

Bireli Lagrene (guitar)
Inferno (Blue Note CDP 7 48016 2)
Bireli Lagrene (guitar),
Bill Evans (tenor sax), Clifford Carter (keyboards), Victor Bailey (bass), Pierre Moerlen (drums), Café (percussion).
Composed by Bireli Lagrene.
Recorded: New York, July 1987
Rating: 84/100 (learn more)
Much has been expected of Bireli Lagrene. He was playing Django Reinhardt's repertoire at age 8. By the time he was 12, he was touring Europe and being hailed as the next Django. He decided to take that Gypsy style in a jazz and jazz fusion direction. Over the years, he has played with many great musicians. On Inferno, he finds himself with stars of the second wave of fusion that hit the beaches in the 1980s.
"Inferno," recorded when Bireli was 21, is a Gypsy-boogie fusion number, if I may be so descriptive. Victor Bailey's repeating bassline is so perfect it almost sounds looped. There is just enough variation in it to prove otherwise. Over Bailey's never-ending groove and occasional lush chords from Carter, Lagrene's solo comes at you in bursts, full of chorused blues and rapid jagged scalar runs. Moerlen and Café throw in the kitchen sink for contrast, though nothing too heavy. The liner notes indicate that Bill Evans (sax) donates some dulcet tones, but I cannot hear him.
"Inferno" isn't quite an inferno, and the theme could have been developed a bit more. But for what it is – a showcase for some '80s fusion chops – it stands up well 20 years later. On the whole, Lagrene has lived up to expectations. In this fickle world, that is not such an easy thing.

Java Studio Creator 2 and Liferay Portal Server Update
By David Botterill on Aug 05, 2006
Liferay 4.0To get Java Studio Creator 2 update 1 portlets to work correctly on Liferay 4.0 you will need to remove the "lib/portlet.jar" file and the "tld" folder from the WAR file. I have a defect filed against Java Studio Creator to permanently remove the "portlet.jar" file from the portlet since all portal servers will most likely supply this at the container level.
Liferay 4.1The good news is that you don't have to worry about removing the "portlet.jar" file nor the "tld" folder from the WAR file in 4.1. There are, however, some other issues.
Apparently Liferay 4.1 does not support the Servlet 2.4 spec in a web.xml.
I've tried with both
<web-app version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">
<web-app version="2.4">
But both trigger the following exception.
org.dom4j.DocumentException: Error on line 3 of document : Document is invalid: no grammar found. Nested exception: Document is invalid: no grammar found.
at org.dom4j.io.SAXReader.read(SAXReader.java:482)
at org.dom4j.io.SAXReader.read(SAXReader.java:365)
at com.liferay.portal.service.impl.PortletLocalServiceImpl._readWebXML(PortletLocalServiceImpl.java:983)
at com.liferay.portal.service.impl.PortletLocalServiceImpl.initWAR(PortletLocalServiceImpl.java:259)
at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
I've done some debugging in the liferay code and the exception is thrown in this part of the code.
PortletLocalServiceImpl.java -
private List _readWebXML(String xml) throws DocumentException, IOException {
List servletURLPatterns = new ArrayList();
if (xml == null) {
return servletURLPatterns;
SAXReader reader = new SAXReader(true);
reader.setEntityResolver(new EntityResolver());
=====> Document doc = reader.read(new StringReader(xml));
Element root = doc.getRootElement();
Iterator itr = root.elements("servlet-mapping").iterator();
I'm not familiar with the 3.6 codebase so I don't know if dom4j's SAXReader was used or if it always used the "true" option to validate the schema. In any case, apparently it has a problem resolving the schema for servlet 2.4.
Work Around:
In Java Studio Creator 2 update 1, choose the J2EE 1.3 as the target WAR type when you do the export WAR. The dialog will look like this.

Congratulations on playing wow in 2012. May your mailbox be always full of sales. And no-one undercuts your best items. As with any holiday you will get more casual users than normal, so keep an eye on the AH for discounts on materials.
If your a Jewelcrafter, hopefully you are still doing your dailies even if you have all of the patterns. Especially looking at how Nightmare tears have been up and down in demand. A quick 10 minute
trip can easily net you 200-400 on many servers.
The also goes with the cataclsym jewelcrafting daily. If you haven't finished purchasing all of your rare gem patterns, keep doing the dailies til you have. The experiment of limiting the ilevel of gemmed armor will probably will occur with the MOP expansion later this year. If the demand for wrath level gems is any indication you will be well ahead of your competition by having the patterns ready to cut. Also look to stock up on blanks to help level future Jewelcrafters in the next expansion.
One last thing. There has been some rumblings from the EU servers and some of the US servers of dupe items showing up again. These seem to be especially applying to Essence of Destruction and Epic Gems. Remember that if a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is.
Enjoy the rest of the holiday

hey all
has anyone had experience with this? my warmblood is now showing some symptoms (i know they are quite general but they fit?)
looking online he seems to fit quite a few....
1. tries to nip when i do the girth up 2. hates being groomed and is really grumpy in the stable 3. seems stressed in general and just not himself at times (this isnt all the time tho)
he doesnt seem colicy at all tho....wondering if it may be just down to tight muscles (had the chiro out 3 weeks ago and hes tight thro shoulders and ribs)
any advice/alternate diagnosis would be appreciated or just any help!
will be getting the vet out but just wanted to check in the mean time
thanks xx

I'm not sure with this to be honest, but has the vet veen out yet? I'd be interested to hear what he had to say.
If it was a person, you'd be looking for tenderness/pain in the central upper abdomen (just below sternum/breastbone), acid reflux (although horses can't vomit so I dont think they can have acid reflux), a worsening of symptoms around meals, or a 1-2 hour delayed onset if a duodenal ulcer (an ulcer in the intestine just below the stomach), so I guess you could try and work out whether your horse seems worse around feed time, and also excess wind or bloating.
You would also try and test for helicobacter (stomach bacteria). But again, I dont know if a gastric ulcer in a horse would result from an infection.
Hope that gives you something else to look for, and I'm keen to see what the vet says!

You could try feeding a gut balancer such as Protexin for a while, to see if it has any effect, or maybe something like Gastroguard.

My TB had gastric ulcers a few years back and had a course of gastroguard. That is great to settle them when you have a flare up trick is to stop the flare up!
Fibre, fibre and more fibre, it is so imortant to keep the digestive system moving the whole time, if there isn't enough "food" in the guts the acid sort of builds up and then aggrevates the ulcers and this causes the discomfort - simple terms! With my girl I just make sure she always has hay available when she is in, she is on a low sugar low starch diet but high fibre. Trying to keep her stress to a minimum is important too, can be difficult when you have an epileptic horse but she has done well for a few years with no flare ups.
Obviously GastroGuard is expensive, so I also have used Slippery Elm Bark powder added to her feed which was brilliant :-)

It is winter in Minnesota. The holidays are over. The holiday gifts and sales after the holidays have now officially added to our household clutter. Here are three ideas to freshen your home organizing perspective.
First, how about a fresh color palette perspective and a balmy floral place to investigate? Try a field trip to the indoor conservatory at Como Park Zoo & Conservatory? The Orchid Society of Minnesota has a Minnesota Winter Carnival Orchid Show there January 23-24 and the Winter Flower Show runs after that from January 30-March 21.
Now, after that, it is helpful to see your own home with fresh eyes. How? Grab your digital camera and start taking photographs from several angles in every room. Load them onto your computer and look closely. As you study these photos, you will notice decorating, organizing, and clutter concerns that are not visible to you normally. I tried this last year and found bookcase clutter, table toppers that weren't working well, and several other things that were easy enough to fix once I became aware of them.
A final suggestion is to head to your local Bachman's Floral Gift & Garden. Check out the latest indoor decor ideas that they have and take the opportunity to walk indoors where live plants are growing. Inhale deeply! Nothing can compete with the humidity and scent of live growing plants this time of year in Minnesota.
