Minutemen Rally to Shock No. 13 Terriers
Dec. 6, 2002
AMHERST, Mass. - Chris Capraro's (Medford, Mass.) breakaway goal 4:19 into overtime lifted the Minutemen to a 5-4 win over No. 13-ranked Boston University at the Mullins Center. The win moves UMass' record to 9-5-0 overall and 4-4-0 in the Hockey East.
Capraro, a sophomore, used a turnover after Mike Warner (Waltham, Mass.) poked the puck loose from a BU defender who was attempting to carry the puck into the UMass zone. Capraro grabbed the puck at the Terriers' blue line and pushed home a shot under BU goalie Sean Fields' stick for his second goal of the year.
UMass spotted Boston U. a 2-0 lead midway through the first period, but Peter Trovato (North Attleboro, Mass.) narrowed the margin to 2-1 just 12 seconds after the Terriers' second goal. Trovato took a feed from James Solon (Acton, Mass.) and fired a wrister past Fields at the 10:52 mark. Jeff Lang (Westwood, Mass.) also assisted on the goal. However, BU added a goal four minutes later and killed off a 1:22 5-on-3 power play by the Minutemen to take a 3-1 lead into the first intermission.
BU took a 4-1 lead on a power-play netter at the 5:40 mark of the second period, but UMass answered when Warner fired a wrister pass Shields' glove to narrow the margin. The score came at the 10:40 mark and was assisted by Tim Turner (Saginaw, Mich.) and Greg Mauldin (Holliston, Mass.). The score remained 4-2 heading into the third period, after several scoring opportunities were turned away by both goalies.
Greg Mauldin cut the lead to 4-3 with a rocket from just inside the blue line that beat Shields gloveside at the 7:22 mark of the third period. Seniors Kelly Sickavish (North Vancouver, B.C.) and Turner assisted the goal. Marvin Degon (Millbury, Mass.) then sent the season-high crowd of 3,891 into a frenzy with a power-play slapshot that just clanked in under the crossbar at the 9:47 mark to knot the game at 4-4. Mauldin recorded his second assist of the night and sixth of the season. The Minutemen had chances in the final five minutes to win the game, but Fields came up with two big to send the game into overtime.
In the extra session, the Terriers were the aggressor, firing four shots on UMass freshman goalie Gabe Winer (Stoughton, Mass.), including two from close range. Winer came up large stopping all four Terrier shots, before Capraro's heroics ended the game.
UMass took advantage of a 30-20 shot differential and converted on 2-of-5 power-play chances. BU was 1-for-3 with the extra man.
The two teams will face off again on Saturday, this time at BU's Walter Brown Arena. The puck drops at 7:00 p.m. and will be televised by Fox Sports New England. UMass is aiming for its school-record fifth straight win.

On Thursday, August 7, the ebook subscription service Scribd unveiled new browsing features intended to make looking for reading material on their site more personalized and more like going to a local library or visiting a brick and mortar bookstore. The improved browse features should make it even easier than it was already for more than 80 million people around the world who use the service to find great books in every genre.
According to Lyndsey Besser of Scribd, "We've rebuilt Browse from the ground up marking the first time a commerce company has digitalized the act of browsing e-books to create an experience that resembles what one would encounter in their neighborhood bookstore – complete with staff picks, award winners and merchandising specials. What once resembled a warehouse of books, now features beautifully designed custom editorial layouts with curated collections tailored to each individual's unique tastes."
Some people in the greater Spokane area may not be familiar with how Scribd works. The service allows readers to read selections from a collection of over 500,000 titles on their computers, smart phones and other devices for $8.99 a month. According to their "about" page, Scribd "[pays] publishers when a book is read as if the subscriber had bought it in a retail e-book store. Authors are paid according to their agreements with their publishers."
For about the cost of one paperback book a month, people can add as many titles as they want to their personal libraries. The site features award-winning novels, New York Times bestsellers, and selections from Oprah Winfrey's book club among titles in many other categories. Scribd also provides a way for readers on tight budgets to support local authors such as Patrick F. McManus, Jess Walter, Frank Zafiro and Colin Conway. Scribd features 42 of their books in their online collection. Some highlights include the first four Bo Tully mysteries by McManus, "The Zero" and "Beautiful Ruins" by Walter, "The Last Horseman" by Zafiro and Conway's short story collection "Little Bits of Violence."
According to an official press release, "Scribd, the leading e-book subscription service, featuring more than 500,000 titles including bestsellers and award-winners in every genre, today announced a reimagined way to digitally browse and discover books. Scribd's new browse experience brings the familiar elements of browsing a neighborhood bookstore into the digital realm, from personalized staff picks, to shelves for every category and special interest niche imaginable.
"'Our goal with the new browse experience was to retain the same human touch that we have come to love about personal recommendations from a trusted friend, but use the power of technology to extend it to our catalog of over 500,000 books,' said Jared Friedman, co-founder and CTO of Scribd. 'The result is as if we've built every reader their own personalized bookstore, with the human touch readers love, that they are now able to carry around in their back pocket.'
"The foundation of the new browse experience is a proprietary category structure that allows readers to browse both at a high level, like Fiction and Literature, and a very niche level, like Biographies of Outlaws. ... Scribd's category tree was designed from the ground up to best facilitate book discovery.
"To take organization to the next level, Scribd's in-house editorial team curated tens of thousands of detailed tags about books, identifying their subjects, locations, time periods, and aesthetic qualities. Using this rich dataset, Scribd created unique collections of books tailored to specific tastes, such as 'Arthurian Legends' or 'Private Eye Mysteries Set In LA'. These niche collections are then served up to readers based on their interests and reading activity."
"... 'Scribd's subscription model does wonders for book discovery, because it eliminates so much of the friction that usually exists to begin reading a good book,' said Trip Adler, co-founder and CEO. 'Meanwhile our new browse feature alone is a huge step forward for book discovery. Ultimately we believe it's the combination of the subscription model with our innovative book discovery offering that will create a magical experience for readers, and this is just the beginning of more to come.'"
On Wednesday, August 6, Friedman participated in an email interview where he discussed the new browsing features and explained more about the merchandising specials Besser mentioned. In a brief question and answer session, he wrote about how he hopes the new browse features will improve the experience for Scribd subscribers and encourage them to read more. The Q and A is transcribed below. The questions were written shortly after signing up for Scribd's one-month free trial to learn more about the service.
Brian Triplett: The Scribd site is already well designed and easy to use. How will the new Browse features improve the experience for your subscribers?
Jared Friedman: Thanks, we love the overall look and feel of Scribd as well and we've been updating it significantly over the past few months. We've seen firsthand that the subscription model encourages more browsing and readers are more open to trying new books and new authors so creating the best browsing experience possible seemed like and important step. The goal here was to create a next generation browse experience and we started by visiting our favorite neighborhood bookstores. What we've built encompasses all that we know and love about browsing our favorite physical stores and brings it into the digital realm – complete with editor's picks and shelves for every category and sub-category imaginable.
BT: I am already getting excellent recommendations based on what I added to my library. How will recommendations improve in the future?
JF: By combining data and algorithms with human editorial insight, we're able to serve up far more niche recommendations to each and every user. For example, if you've read crime fiction/thrillers recently, as well as books set in Scandinavia, Scribd could recommend this custom collection – Nordic Noir – of various titles at the intersection of each of those categories. Because we now have a deeper understanding of the books' DNA – subjects, location, time period, aesthetic qualities of books, etc. – we can also better explain why we are recommending certain books to you.
BT: What are you hoping to achieve for the company by offering more browsing options?
JF: Our primary goal is to create the best book discovery experience, and we think that the new browse capabilities are an important step in that direction. By serving up the perfect books to each reader we'll get everyone reading more.
BT: Is this move intended to help Scribd appeal more to Amazon customers? The Amazon Kindle Unlimited program, which is kind of like a Scribd imitator with a less impressive collection of titles (to use an analogy, it is kind of like you are Netflix and they are Blockbuster Online), offers an award winner category and another category that is sort of like staff picks. Their search features are also kind of similar to what Scribd currently offers, although one could argue that Amazon's are less user friendly. Is one of your goals trying to be a better alternative to Kindle Unlimited?
JF: Amazon's entrance into the space has certainly brought additional attention to subscription reading in recent weeks, but browse has always been important to us. We began building the product over six months ago and have made a major investment to scale the team behind this massive undertaking. We think that the combination of the best book catalog and the best discovery tools will create the best experience for consumers.
BT: How would merchandising specials work? Isn't everything included in the monthly subscription rate?
JF: The new browse features provide a number of opportunities for merchandising specials. The Editor's Picks for example are a great way to elevate particular titles and authors. The important thing is ensuring the end product is still natural and tailored to each individual.
BT: Do you have plans to branch out into other related areas such as offering audiobooks to your subscribers?
JF: Our long-term vision is to build the world's digital library. To us, this means including more than just books and eventually expanding into all kinds of content.
BT: According to your website, 80 million readers use Scribd. Do you expect that number to increase after people try out the new features?
JF: That's correct, worldwide we have more than 80 million readers visiting the site monthly. As we grow our product offering and our reading catalog we certainly expect to see additional audience growth.
Readers in the greater Spokane area who would like to try out the new browse features for themselves should visit Scribd and sign up for the 30-day free trial period. Not only is it a great way for someone to find out if the service is something he or she would continue to use, but it provides access to a huge collection of ebooks from over 900 publishers. New Scribd subscribers will probably enjoy how easy it is to find books and other content that will appeal to them. The service also provides users with a variety of tools that make it easy to read on the go, organize reading material and share what people are reading with friends.

You'll need to add the following ingredients to one box of mix:
|8 tablespoons butter, 1 large egg
|1/2 cup water, 1/3 cup oil, 2 large eggs
|1-1¼ cup milk, 1/2-2/3 cup oil, 2-3 large eggs
|6-8 tablespoons butter, 3-4 tablespoons milk
*The amount differs by variety and is listed on the packaging.
We've been asked if the ingredients you add can be substituted and the answer is "yes"! Here are a few recommendations. We do not recommend using other ingredients to replace eggs when making brownies or cookies.
|Instead of...
|Soymilk, Rice Milk, Almond Milk
|Use the same amount
|Applesauce, Egg substitute (e.g., Egg Beaters or Ener-G Egg Replacer)
|1 egg = 1 tablespoon applesauce
1 egg = quantity of egg substitute listed on packaging
|Vegetable Oil
|Canola oil, Safflower oil, Sunflower oil, Soybean oil, Butter
|Use the same amount
|Margarine, Shortening
|Use the same amount
*Substitution is not recommended for brownies or cookies.
If you have additional suggestions, please let us know. We'd love to hear from you!
Melt the butter until just liquid- don't let it get too hot! (It's okay if it is still semi-solid.) This can be done in the stove or in the microwave. If you suspect you have overheated the butter (frosting seems thin), place it in the refrigerator for a few minutes to thicken.
Add the milk a little at a time to get just the right consistency. Adding extra milk will thin the frosting and create a wonderful glaze for cakes and cookies.
Frosting can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week before use. Microwave 10-20 seconds to soften, then stir before spreading on fully cooled cake.

The Harris pages were created by Georgia Girl. I believe she is deceased. I have assumed maintenance of the Hunt line. Georgia Girl had Sara Harris Hunt's (50941422) parents incorrectly named. If you go to her page you will see the correction. You might want to contact findagrave support and asked to take over maintenance of the Harris pages.

Story updated at 10 a.m. with statement from LDS (Mormon) church: A Murrieta man was arrested this...
A Murrieta man was arrested this week for sexual battery upon two teenage females in the Menifee area following an investigation of incidents dating back to 2006, police reported today.
Todd Mitchell Edwards, 49, was arrested after an extensive investigation by Menifee Police. It was determined Edwards committed the sexual assaults in November 2006 and February 2012. The investigation revealed the suspect was known by the victims and their families.
Edwards is accused of sexual penetration with a foreign object upon a minor, sexual battery and witness intimidation. A third victim was identified during the investigation; however, the statute of limitations prevented criminal charges from being filed.
George Kramer, a spokesman for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, confirmed that Edwards is a member of the LDS church and is a former bishop of a ward in Menifee. According to Kramer, Edwards was released as bishop when the allegations came to light. He currently holds no position in the church.
"The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has zero tolerance for abuse of any kind," Kramer said. "Anyone who abuses a child is rightfully subject to both criminal prosecution and formal church discipline."
Sheriff investigators believe there may be other victims and urge them to come forward and contact law enforcement to report the crimes.
Anyone with additional information regarding this investigation is encouraged to contact Investigator John Wyatt, at the Menifee Police Department by calling 951-210-1000, or email@example.com.

With this gift of nature, Nature Conservancy magazine arrives all year long. Join
Today, the Senate Agriculture Committee released the Conservation Title of the U.S. Farm Bill. The Nature Conservancy has reviewed the language, and released the following statement today from Bob Bendick, Director of U.S. Government Relations at the Conservancy:
"A strong Farm Bill and Conservation Title are necessary if we are going to meet our nation's increasing demand for food, feed, fiber and fuel. The Nature Conservancy believes that the Senate Agriculture Committee has done an excellent job in drafting a Conservation Title that keeps intact and, in a number of places, improves upon programs that play an essential role in conserving America's soil, water and wildlife habitat. This bill recognizes the critical role that America's farmers, ranchers and foresters play as stewards of our country's natural resources and continues the productive partnerships between the Department of Agriculture and private landowners to accomplish that stewardship.
"We are grateful to Chairwoman Stabenow, Ranking Member Roberts and their staffs for their determined work in achieving this positive result. The Committee and its staff worked in a bipartisan manner to reach out to many stakeholders to produce legislation that, overall, we support strongly.
"Of particular importance to the Conservancy are:
"Given the severe financial constraints placed on the bill by last year's Budget Control Act, drafting this legislation was a challenge. In order for the great promise and benefits of the proposed Conservation Title to be realized, it is essential that reductions in funding to the overall bill be held to levels reflected in this bill. There are large backlogs for participating in conservation easement programs, and there have already been significant reductions in Farm Bill conservation programs in recent years through changes in mandatory programs. Further cuts would severely damage the proven ability of the Farm Bill to provide essential long term benefits to the American people and the American farm and forest communities for natural resources conservation, food security and economic stability."
The Nature Conservancy is a leading conservation organization working around the world to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends.

Always learn to fly first in manual before any auto is done. As soon as it started to get away from you, you could put in stable and brought back in. sorry for your loss. JP
Don't give up yet!
If you had telemetry going then your log will give you a lot of info on where it was heading or maybe even show you exactly where it is at.
Go back through and try to figure out what went wrong. Could you have switched into AUTO accidentally?
Where did you power up and set home position for that flying session? That's where RTL would take it.
How many Ah capacity left in the battery when this happened, if not much and it was climbing with a lot of power, then it couldn't have gone far.
I don't know what the terrain is like where you were flying, but look at a map and estimate a radius of possibility for where it could have gone. Put on your boots and go hiking. Like a lost cat they are always closer than you imagine.
Marvin,sorry for your loss as others have said they are often closer than you think, good luck searching.
@Paul I don't think his hardware fail sounds like the switch selection was incorrect.
You cannot just go out and expect the GPS constellation to be perfectly positioned above your mission site. What does that mean. It means there might not be enough over the horizon or they might be horribly placed.
I check what might be overhead before I fly.
I am worried about the GPS lock with the APM and the lack of indication that we have a "good lock", we get a single blue light that on the GPS and the AMP that seems to come on within a second indoors and out. This gives us no clear indication of a "good lock". Both my NAZA and my EzOSD need 8 satellites to be considered a "good lock", the NAZA goes solid green only when we get 8 satellites, the EzOSD shows the number of satellites until it reaches 8. But when I go out with my APM 2.5 running latest firmware on the GPS and APM I always feel I have no idea at all how many satellites I have locked onto. I think we really need a clear indication that we have got at least 5 satellites, better would be 8.
I personally usually wait at least 2-3 minutes "after" the light goes blue on the APM before I try to take off, but thats just guessing how many satellites I actually have.
Thanks, Ed,
Paul, I don't have telelmetry, also I really don't want to take my laptop to the field.
Since like the NAZA the only thing APM has to work with it LEDs it would be nice if we had some indication.
What the NAZA does is
< 5 Satellites is 3 red 1 green
< 6 Satellites is 2 red 1 green
< 7 Satellites is 1 red 1 green
8 or more solid green
I hate to compare but its really a wonderful feature to let us know exactly when we have all satellites actually locked in place.
Agree, those of us without telemetry could use a little more info.
FWIW I have an external/remote HDOP LED that lights up when a pre-defined HDOP is achieved (also have GPS and Arm remote LEDs). This is better than number of sats because even 10 sats may or may not be good geometry and that's what counts. HDOP is an easily available measure of GPS satellite "goodness".
8 sats is rarely good enough for my "standards" lol. I regularly get 15 sats here (the max. it can report on) but I usually fly in a gulley/valley and I need to "see" well before I start out because visibility is likely to only get much worse (as I get nearer the gulley sides).
It is simple code, was my first Arduino project ever. I set the HDOP threshold value (to light the LED) in the Mission Planner; it's a variable that needs to be tailored to your location. I set 1.2 as "good" for now, but actually anything worse than 0.8 is poor for my main flying location.
Also FWIW, I had trouble using the on-board APM LED "B" (amber) for this; it's highly under-utilized but seems to be continually reset by APM software and I didn't take enough time to try to undo that. Also there is a spare/unused LED on the APM 2.5 board (maybe 2.0 too?) but I don't know how to use it and it's in a hard-to-see location for me too.
I use really bright 3*LED strips for indicators, via a driver chip with ~12V (3s) battery so you can see these LEDs from quite far away too. It's not much use for that (since you really only use the info from these LEDs before takeoff), mostly they're just really bright for seeing in the sun which can easily wash out lesser LEDs, and this info is important. You can use regular LEDs without a driver, or use a bi-polar/colored one, but IMO counting (color-coded) pulses is kinda lame (yup, I did it that way first). I do have a laptop, but it's just an unnecessary nuisance to drag along if I don't really need it for some plain simple flying.
I wonder if anyone has worked on code to get the JD-IOBoard to pull the HDOP feed out of MAVlink and set LED's based on it. I have one but I haven't dug into the sample code yet to figure out what's there.

Chef Competition To Kick Off 2013 Vidalia Onion Festival
The second year of the Golden Onion professional cooking competition includes some changes.Part of the 36th annual Vidalia Onion Festival, the April 14 contest showcases Vidalia onions and offers Georgia chefs a platform to display their skills and creativity, according to a news release.A dozen chefs from Georgia restaurants and foodservice institutions will be given an hour to prepare a recipe in the contest for the Golden Onion trophy.This year, the chefs will present the dishes to judges, instead of the "blind" judging system from last year, and judges will watch chefs prepare the food.During the inaugural 2012 competition, judges scored 50% on taste, 25% on plated presentation and 25% on creativity. This year, judges rate dishes on those factors as well as presenting the dish and how closely they followed the submitted recipe."To have this much talent come into our community and compete using our Vidalia onions as the main ingredient in their dishes is very good for our community and for our industry," Bob Stafford, manager of the Vidalia Onion Business Council, Vidalia, said in the release.The competition kicks off the April 18-21 festival.

Yes, it does seem as if everyone at the all-boys high school and the methadone clinic is complaining of little else. I know what you're thinking: If only we had the perceptions of 34 Canadian and American sex therapists on this. Well, now we do.
According to the new study "Canadian and American Sex Therapists' Perceptions of Normal and Abnormal Ejaculatory Latencies: How Long Should Intercourse Last?" adequate coitus lasts anywhere from three to seven minutes, not including the Pledge of Allegiance. This data, from all the normal people who see therapists for sexual problems, corresponds closely to earlier studies, which put the average at five to seven minutes. (We can safely blame the two-minute discrepancy on the Canadians.)
"Very few people have intercourse per se [Latin for by thrust] that goes longer than 12 minutes," says sex therapist Barry W. McCarthy. Essentially, ejaculatory inhibition, which is also called "delayed orgasm" or "junkie orgasm," has less to do with actual time than an inability to ejaculate when you'd like. And premature ejaculation, which is also called "rapid ejaculation" or "your ejaculation," refers to intercourse that lasts less than a minute or two.

McCarthy says you can slow things down by honing your technique through what he calls "nonintercourse sex" (what the rest of us call "jerking off"). You also might want to try switching positions and varying the speed and pattern of your thrusts, and then you might attain the required 18-minute minimum no legitimately normal person ever fails to meet.

College Hockey:UND Shuts Down Michigan Tech, 4-0
Parise Records Fourth Shutout Of Season
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — North Dakota scored three times in the third period and goalie Jordan Parise recorded his fourth shutout of the season as the Fighting Sioux defeated Michigan Tech, 4-0, to take sole possession of fifth place in the WCHA.
The Sioux came out sluggish in the first period and, for the first 10 minutes, were outshot badly by the Huskies. However, after giving up six goals to Denver last Saturday, Parise was solid for UND, at one point turning back three MTU shots in quick succession with the Huskies on the power play.
"I think on Monday I may have second-guessed myself a couple of times," Parise said. "It's just a natural response when you get lit up for six. After Monday, I don't think there was any doubt. I knew that I was playing at the top of my game."
UND was awarded a penalty shot when sophomore forward Rylan Kaip was hauled down while breaking in alone on MTU freshman goalie Michael-Lee Teslak. But Kaip was unable to convert, leaving him still looking for his first career goal after 55 games at UND.
"I was pretty nervous," Kaip said. "That would have been my first goal. You don't get a better chance than that. I just have to keep working and it will come."
UND coach Dave Hakstol said that although his team got off to a slow start, it began to play better half way through the period.
"I thought by the second half of the first period, the guys had started to bear down a little bit," he said. "They really turned it around themselves. It comes to this time of the year and the guys know when they're playing well and when they have to get a little bit better. They showed tonight that they wanted to get better in the second and third, and did a good job of it."
After a scoreless opening period, it took UND's Drew Stafford just 17 seconds to score the game-winner. Center Jonathan Toews left a drop pass at the top of the right circle that Stafford blasted into the far corner. There was no need to review the goal as the puck remained firmly lodged in the net's webbing.
"That was pretty funny," the junior forward said. "I don't know what to say. I've never really seen that before."
Although the Sioux dominated the period in time of possession and scoring opportunities, Teslak held the Huskies in the game with some spectacular saves. He twice robbed Stafford and forward Matt Watkins on what appeared to be perfectly executed back-door plays. The Sioux ended the period clinging to a slim 1-0 lead.
"It was an awful tight hockey game going into the third period," Hakstol said. "The guys just continued to do the little things right and, eventually, we were rewarded for it."
UND began the final period on the power play, and it took the Sioux just 41 seconds to capitalize on it. Toews skated into the right circle and fired a wrister that beat Teslak short side to put UND up, 2-0. It was the 17-year-old freshman's 17th goal of the season and his sixth goal in the past four games.
"He's found his spot," Stafford said of Toews. "He's playing on the top line now, and he's playing with confidence and he's making plays. I'm pretty proud of him and the way he's been playing."
Sioux freshman forward Ryan Duncan picked up his 11th goal of the season at 4:30. Toews picked off an MTU outlet pass, fed the puck to Stafford who hit Duncan with a back-door pass that Teslak got a pad on but couldn't stop.
Stafford scored his second goal of the game and fifth shorthanded goal of the season with 1:45 left in the game. Sophomore center Travis Zajac won a faceoff in MTU's zone, battled through the defenders and slid a cross-ice pass to Stafford that he one-timed past Teslak to make the final score 4-0.
"Travis called that play before it happened," Stafford said. "He said 'I'm going to go forward with it.' So I went forward as well. He put it right where I like it and I was able to get off a good shot."
Stafford has a team-leading 22 goals and is tied for first nationally in shorthanded goals with Chris Collins of Boston College.
Twelve of the 22 shots Parise faced came in the first period. The shutout was the eighth of the junior goalie's career. Teslak made 34 saves on 38 UND shots. The Sioux were 1-for-3 on the power play while the Huskies were 0-for-4.
UND's win, combined with St. Cloud State's 1-0 loss to Wisconsin, put the Sioux all alone in fifth place and one game away from securing home ice in the WCHA playoffs. Because Colorado College and Denver played to a 3-3 tie, a win over MTU Saturday could put UND in fourth place because it has more league victories than the Tigers.
MTU and UND meet at 7:05 Saturday at Ralph Engelstad Arena for the second game of the series.

Having worked together for years as writers, editors, and directors of children's music, Pamela Vandewalker and Cherry Garasi felt the need for quality, age appropriate musical presentations for preschoolers. Live LOVE! is a result of that idea and it presents one of the strongest spiritual concepts anyone can ever learn. This musical presentation outlines the idea that truly, love is a "verb". By teaching children that we show love to others in the way we live and the things we do and say, we are pointing them toward a relationship with God through His son, Jesus - the One who teaches us to love one another.
Because the subject matter of this musical is "love", this music program can be used at any time of year, but would be especially suited for a February (or Valentine's) performance. Suggestions for sharing this musical in your church, school, or community are included in this book.
Our prayer is that, as you teach Live LOVE!, you and your children will have a happy experience with music making. But, more importantly, we hope the ideas of God loving us and the importance of loving each other will be instilled in the hearts and minds of your preschoolers.

These guidelines are primarily to assist Finance budget analysts in reviewing and processing various budget documents received from departments. Portions of these guidelines may also be helpful to departments.
Finance budget analysts are responsible for reviewing documents presented in these guidelines, which are covered in the following sections:
I. Planning Estimates
II. Planning Estimate Reports
III. Schedule 10s (three year expenditures)
IV. Detail of Appropriation and Adjustments Report
V. Schedule 10Rs (Revenues)
VI. Fund Condition Statement
VII. 3-Year Expenditures and Positions
VIII. Detailed Expenditures by Program
IX. Expenditures by Category
X. Positions
XI. Supplementary Schedules of Federal Funds/Reimbursements
XII. Employee Compensation/Retirement
XIII. Other Checks
I. Planning Estimates
This report is created from the Schedule 10s. Use the DAA Report to cross tie and verify the expenditures reported in the other fiscal statements. The DAA tab of the budget spreadsheet includes a roll-up of the detailed DAA Report. Only the totals from the DAA Report by fund and character should be listed on the DAA tab of the spreadsheet.
1. Check for reasonableness of the dollars. Compare estimates of revenues to actual revenues in past years. Note reason for large year over year changes, as appropriate.
2. Verify that past year amounts reconcile with department's year-end financial statements (compare to Report 4 for revenues and Report 6 for transfers and loans).
3. Verify the correct authority is listed for each transfer and loan.
4. Check the Uniform Codes Manual (UCM) for each revenue type to verify that it is listed correctly. Revenues have unique codes. General Fund and special fund revenues begin with 1; nongovernmental cost fund revenues begin with 2 (please note that 10Rs are not required for nongovernmental cost funds). Transfers from other funds are coded FOXXXX, where XXXX equals the fund code of the fund providing the cash. Transfers to other funds are coded TOXXXX, where XXXX equals the fund code of the receiving fund. Loan and Loan repayments use the same coding as transfers, but should include verbiage noting "loan" or "loan repayment" in the authority.
5. Coordinate with other fund owners to ensure transfer to and transfer from amounts reflected on their Schedule 10Rs tie to their counterpart's Schedule 10Rs.
6. Remember to add loan repayments that are scheduled for the new budget year. Since loan repayments may not be scheduled in the past or current year, it's easy to forget that loan repayments for budget year need to be added. Cash Management will distribute a list to units detailing all budget year loan repayments to avoid this problem.
7. If changes to a 10R are needed after the first DAA Report/FCS documents are received from Financial Operations (FO), hand-deliver updated and initialed/approved 10Rs to FO prior to submitting your budget folder for review.
8. Check that all proposed Budget Bill items for revenue transfers and loans have been listed on 10Rs.
9. Compare loans and loan repayments for consistency with information submitted on loan drills to the Cash Management Section.
10. Verify SMIF interest amounts included on Schedule 10Rs appear reasonable as compared to the Quarterly SMIF Allocation Recap Worksheet provided by the Cash Management Section.
11. Analysts for Administering Orgs must gather information from departments receiving revenues for that fund.
12. Complete the General Fund Revenue Reconciliation form.
1. Read and edit/correct the Budget Narrative sections in Data Capture.
2. Check the authority citations. Have the department check the citations section annually and update the citations section of the Budget Narrative if new legislation has been enacted or abolished.
3. Check that Section 28.00 and 28.50 adjustments, for which notification has been sent to the Legislature, are included. Update Schedule 10s and PEs as appropriate.
4. Verify the formatting requirements detailed in the Governor's Budget Checklist.
5. Verify the Detailed Budget Adjustments display is accurately reflecting information from PDS. (No missing issues or extra issues.)
6. Keep a list of problems you encounter in checking the budget spreadsheet and supporting documents. Specify the problems clearly. Give a copy to the department to facilitate corrections, and meet with them to discuss, if necessary.

I usually wear a size 16-18 in regular dresses. The label size reads 24 and is made for measurements: bust — 48.5, waist — 38.5, hips — 51.5. I paid a total of $1100 for the dress. Asking $800 for the dress . . . OBO.
A great dress, very feminine, only worn twice, once on our wedding day (where we had beautiful weather all day) and again at an open house reception where I am from, at my parent's home.
Taffeta and lace combine for this romantic ball gown. The ruched asymmetrical bodice has a natural waistline that gently contours the body, while cap tulip styled sleeves and slight sweetheart neckline add definition to the stylish top Covered buttons dominate the high back, as crystals luxuriously embellish the waist and ball skirt for a strikingly gorgeous gleam. The full, ball gown skirt is created by soft pickups of taffeta and lace that adorn the floor-length skirt with a chapel train.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
- Alterations: I had the neckline altered from a round scoop to a slight sweetheart neckline and the chapel length train altered to be capable of being put up into a french bustle with 7 pickups and color coordinated ties. I also had the dress shortened to fit me. I am 5'5 and wore 2 inch wedges with the dress and it just brushed the ground.
- Preservation Method: I have had the dressed stored in the provided gown bag hanging in my closet since the day of the wedding. It is still in very good condition.
- Terms of Sale: All Sales Final
- Original Owner:
- Has Original Receipt:
- Location: Rexburg, ID
