Free public domain sheet music from IMSLP / Petrucci Music Library
(Redirected from Rieter-Biedermann)
Jakob Melchior Rieter-Biedermann (1811-1876) was born in Winterthur, Switzerland (Zurich canton). When he was 22, he went to Paris to study engineering; there he became acquainted with Berlioz and Rossini. Returning home in 1835, Rieter-Biedermann served as the librarian for the Winterthur Musikkollegium. In 1849, he founded the music publishing firm whose catalog grew to more than 900 works by the time of his death.
Works issued included those of Berlioz, Schumann, and Brahms. His son-in-law Edmund Astor (1845-1918) directed the Leipzig branch from its founding in 1862, and subsequently Leipzig became the headquarters on the Winterthur office's closing in 1884. In 1917, the company was purchased by C.F. Peters.

I was driving down Scottsdale Road on my motorcycle and I decided to stop for a break. I found myself in this huge house with nobody home. I don't think they would mind. Do you? I hurried and got naked so I could masturbate before they got home, I was feeling so bad and naughty. I got out one of the biggest cocks and fucked myself silly. They are going to wonder why their chair is soaking wet!! Ha! It's my cum! Shhh it's our little secret.
Priya Anjali Rai has never ridden the Rocker before but she is very willing to have her first time on camera for all of you to enjoy. She lubes and licks the cock and then slides it in. Priya pops out her massive titties and moves her hips while screaming out her pleasure. You are going to love watching her reach a squirting orgasm all over the user-operated toy. If you don't want anyone to know what you're watching, turn your speakers down. Our girl Priya is a feisty one and she can get pretty loud when she's having a good time.
Priya Anjali Rai says hi and wishes you fun as she jiggles her big juicy boobs for the camera. She's dressed in chains and talking dirty while touching herself. She wants to play games. She wants you to play with your cock while she plays with her prime pussy. Priya gets out a big fat dildo and gets to work with moans. Are you ready to play?
Priya Anjali Rai wiggles and shakes her hot bod and curves outside in a bra, thong and pair of thigh high stockings. As music plays, she bares her flesh, exposing her sensual figure and caressing her lovely skin. When the music stops, she speaks, saying naughty things. She strokes her purple toy and pushes it deep for you to enjoy with her. She is the ultimate squirter!

Missed Chances And Other Animals
Bruce Rues Missed Chances! I, me, personally am getting just a Teeny weeny bit pe-ded off with this Headline! What is it with the Tigers? They have Owners who are prepared to splash out, unlike some Clubs, sorry Andy, they have a Manager/Trainer who seems to know what he is doing, unlike some, sorry again Andy, plus they have a Team that Plays well together, that Plays well at home and away, sorry again! So what is it? If someone out there knows, I do wish they woluld tell me, over to you Andy! Is it the, we don`t really believe it gen or what? We have three home games coming up, so, what? Leicester dropped Points, the ideal time to push past them, no we drop Points, pathetic! No I do not expect miricles, no I just expect more concentration and less consternation, OK! Yes you had Players out, is that an excuse or a malady? If you want to Play in the Premiership you have to Play well without top Players, hold the line so to speak! Come May, what will be the excuses doing the rounds? Somebody enlighten me please! No I am not going to do an Analysis of missed chances, it is not my style, probably could`t if I tried, but I do get this creepy Feeling that I can tell the scoreline Prior to the game, simply by the importance of the game! That is getting up my Nose! Literally!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Easy, I'd guess that what is getting up your nose, and noses of Hull's players, is the white powder used to mark the finishing line - it plays on the nerves and produces the jitters.

READ_ME_FIRST: What Do I Do With All Of Those SPARC Threads?
By Ruud-Oracle on Sep 02, 2013
This is a technical white paper with a fairly challenging title, but it actually describes the contents quite well.
We wrote this paper because the new SPARC T5 and M5 Oracle servers provide so much main memory plus so many cores and threads that one may wonder how to manage and deploy such a kind of system. They're pretty unique in the market.
This is why we joined forces and set ourselves the goal of providing a holistic view on this topic.
The paper is written in a modular way and readers can select the individual topics they're interested in, but of course we hope you'll read it front to back and find it useful. Perhaps the Glossary at the end comes in handy too.
The first part covers the processor and system architectures, but only to the extent we felt is needed for the remainder of the paper. There are several other white papers that go into an awful lot more detail on this.
The next part targets those (thinking about) developing parallel applications and looking for tips and tricks what choices need to be made and how to make real world codes scale. That is no mean feat, but rewarding and long lasting. Think about it. The trend is upward and the size of systems can be expected to continue to scale up. Any investment done today in improving scalability is going to help. There is a learning curve as well and the sooner one begins, the better.
We feel these chapters are however also of use to those not directly involved writing parallel code. It helps to understand what happens under the hood and may explain things one has observed experimentally. For example why there may be a diminishing return on adding more and more threads.
The third part covers the virtualization features available and how these can be used to configure the system to the needs. Perhaps to run legacy applications that require an older software environment and do this side by side with applications running in a more modern environment. On top of that, each of such applications can be multi-threaded, providing the optimal configuration per application.
The paper concludes with a brief coverage of key Solaris features. Not everybody realizes the importance of a scalable OS and how much on-going engineering investment is needed to continue to improve the scalability of Solaris.
We hope you find this technical white paper useful and of course feedback is encouraged!

A victory in straight sets to start off with
Roger swept into the second round of the French Open today by defeating Spain's Alberto Martin 6-4, 6-3, 6-2.
"I started a little slowly," he said afterwards. "He plays very far behind the baseline so I had to make adjustments. Then I started to serve well. That allowed me to play more freely and I was able to dominate."
It was a bit of a rough start for Roger when he was broken in his first serve but he later levelled to 2-2. Roger then went on to break Martin for a second time in the 10th game to take the set. From then on our champ was clearly in control, dominating during his serve and breaking his opponent regularly.
Roger eased to victory in an hour and 43 minutes, setting up a second-round meeting with either José Acasuso or Santiago Ventura.
somehow i knew it. can't explain really!
he just doesn't los ein the 2nd round of a GS.
come on!

I am over 50, over 200lbs. a tennis player, and a used to be"runner." Have always been pretty active, biking, running,hiking, playing tennis etc... lately have only been playing tennis, quitea bit. Having done the C25k program in the past I was thinking aboutdoing it again and getting out the running shoes. Then the bomb went offin Boston! I usually say something like "these are senseless actsthat cause unspeakable tragedies, but there is nothing that I can do aboutit." WELL, I AM SICK OF SAYING THAT! I WANT TO DO SOMETHINGABOUT IT! BUT WHAT? How about run the Boston Marathon next year?
So I dusted off the running shoes, pulled up the C25K programand started the journey yesterday. Will I do it? Can I do it? I'm sure I don't know. I usually do well until the winter months and end upstopping running mainly because of the darkness and then there always seems tobe good reasons not to start up again the following spring, and those reasonskeep getting easier to succumb to the older I get. HOWEVER, if there areothers doing this with me, on a common journey, with a common purpose and acommon goal - MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, WE CAN DO IT!
It's weird around here, in the Boston metro. On my morning commute I used to see a few people out running, walking dogs, and the like. Now it's 10 to 20. I'm constantly stopping at cross walks too. People are responding just like you. I've been doing what I'm calling "5k a day", and used to be just a casual occasional runner. Suddenly form and breathing are a lot more important, hence why I'm here. No training, etc., but Boston is my goal too. 3:10 for qualifying sounds scary when I can barely do 5k in 40 minutes, but day 2 was 5 minutes faster than day 1, and no injuries to report yet. Speed walkers are probably better, but with luck I'll be contemplating 25k soon too.
GOOD!! I am glad to hear that I am not alone in my reaction. Yes, qualifying is scary but quite frankly I am so far from even thinking about speed that has not even crossed my mind. But if we can start this thing and continue to attract more people like us here with a similar reaction and then stay in contact and motivate each other throughout the year we can get to the place where we can worry about qualifying, Maybe even get some of us that decided to respond to this horrific tragedy by running into the race. Join Us!
I would love to see more people running as a response to this, that's great, and what powerful motivation.
I decided that one of the things I would do was donate blood, as a reminder to myself that I do have power to do something good in the world. Then my blood drive that I made an appointment at was cancelled today because Boston is in lockdown. I will reschedule. I will run more. My husband, who ran Boston this year and finished before the explosions, will run Boston again.
I am hoping people will be inspired to act and to do something to make the world more the place it should be, as well as keep on running. wrote a blog post about it here:

When I first heard about the bombings, I was shocked and deeply saddened for those who lost their life and for those who were severely injured and lost limbs. I, almost, lost a leg in a car accident back in 95; I was hit by a car as a pedestrian. Fast forward 18 years, and this happens at the most revered marathon in our country and I immediately felt, "I have to do something"; so I have organzied a Unity Run Fundraiser to collect donations for all the victims deeply afftected by this horrible tragedy and honor those who are no longer with us.
We are asking 'runners' (and walkers) from everywhere, to Join us on May 11th and go on a Run4Boston. We have set up a FB page with more info:
Let's Run For Those Who No Longer Can!
Peace and Healing,
I had the same reaction watching the events in Boston. I ran Boston in 2004 but since then I've let my running slip. I had all the same excuses you had. I'm also over 50 and overweight and feeling like my best running days are behind me.
But then I watched how some of the victims have responded to the injuries that have changed their lives and all my excuses seemed inexcusable.
I can run. Lucky me. So I will run and now I can't find a reason why I shouldn't run my best.
Every run, every race, every marathon.
I so love this post. Prior to Boston I had signed up for a half marthon for October. What happened in Boston has made me more determined than over to compete/complete it. I walked the race in 2010 and wanted to be able to run it this time.
I hear people ask all the time why anyone would want to run a full or half marathon. I always answer because I can. That answer is even more true now.
I start training tomorrow and plan to be ready in October to run
A lot of runners have been participating in local memorial events, and wearing memorial bibs during training or race events. I think the important thing is that we have been united to show support, respect and determination. There really has been an amazing and hopeful response to the tragedy.
Here are some sites with print options:
I also saw a poem that was truly inspirational:
Do not challenge runners, We defined perseverance
Do not challenge runners,
We defined perseverance
Do not question the resolve of athletes,
We know the answer is always endurance
Do not underestimate the courage of American leaders,
We were built on resiliency
Do not wonder about the future of the Boston Marathon,
We will always survive the next mile
Do not worry about this country,
We are the United States and we will prevail
Have been back at it since original post. Starting from the beginning...AGAIN! Feeling very good about it, and feeling good about the positive responses from all here. So starting from the beginning for me means probably six weeks to first 5k. Thats ok, I am taking it one run at a time. June 15 is the date for my first 5k in years. I can do it, you can do it, we can do it!
JayWelgan, Kelly106, OneRun4Boston, CleeRun, JaniceCurry-Everts, Jasko 123, alancz as Jasko said above United to show support, respect and determination!
Keeping it going! 37,000 runners in Philadelphia, lots of em wearing Red Sox. Brought a tear to my eye hearing Sweet Caroline playing at the starting line, and I'm not even from Boston.
Week two of C25K and feeling better already! I can do it, I can do it, I can do it! You can do it!
Just finished week 3 of C25k. Lost 4 pounds, and feeling very good about heading in the right direction. It seems that if i keep this up I run the risk of turning this thread into a blog, oh well. A blog or a thread, if it helps to motivate or inspire anyone else out there to start on a path toward a healthier lifestyle then who cares what I call it, or for that matter, what it is? What it is is a path towards a healthier and a more inspired lifestyle which was out of a terrible tragedy.
Hope I am helping.
Just finished week 4, starting week 5. Feeling strong, feeling healthy, starting to feel like a runner.
Hello, Helloooo - Is there anyone out there who started running after Boston and has stuck with it? Yes, I know there are many of you. Nice to know something positive can arise from something so negative, I believe that is the essence of the USA and the human endeavor. The future does, in fact, look bright. What can I say, or can any of say to those whose lives have been irrevocably altered by this partciular tragedy in such tramatic ways? I think there are no words, I wish there were.
For me the best that I can seem to muster is to try and run. How simple I am, how inadequate I feel in my inabilty to do better. However, if I can, if we here can, if together we can inspire others to simply run, perhaps that will help someone in need, and isn't that a good thing?
So, to that end I just finished week 5 yesterday! Ran 20 minutes! Felt like a big accomplishment to me. Looking forward to starting week 6 C25K tomorrow morning. Lost 8 pounds since starting, feeling noticeably healthier and looking forard to my first 5k run upon completion of the program (initially I thought that was June 15, but I thought it was a 6 week program, I think now its more like nine weeks - so maybe July 4th, WOW that may be significant, huh?)
Anyway, Don't stop!
Knee issues, had to take a break for a week. Completed two days of week six then stopped for a week. Repeated D2W6 wednesday, then completed 22 minutes today. Feeling good again. Officially down 10 lbs. Looking forward!
I just donated blood last week for the second time since Boston... the events of the marathon made me really think about finding a way to be thankful and give forward. My husband ran Boston, and every time I donate I'll think of him and how lucky I am that nothing happened to him.
Keep running, for you, because you can!

What is best way to foster a healthy, respectful and loving relationship between my mother and husband?
My mom comes and stays with us about once a month to help with LO and so far she is not a boundary stomper. They get along fairly well and have mutual respect. But I feel like my husband is sometimes intimdated by my mom and sometimes she can be a bit heavy handed. I don't want any tension or resentment to form.
This last trip she was kind of particularly all over things. LO has been dealing with teething and reflux. LO started crying and DF picked her up and decided to give her some medicine. I had been in the wother room and when I walked in, my mom is trying to tell me that LO was just fine until DF picked her up and that she really didn't need medicine and she would have been fine if left alone. I just said, "Mom, he is her father and I trust his judgement." And that kind of settled things. However, she still felt she needed to defend her reasoning. I later took DF aside alone and told him that it's ok for him to make exectutive decisions about LO and that my mom should be defaulting to him as he is the parent.
Also, several times during this trip I felt like she was tattling on him to me. I think in her mind she was just "sharing her observations". However, I realized that my reaction is to question DF about the incident and then he feels he has to defend himself. I do NOT want this to become a negative dynamic. I think it's fine for my mom to share the things she observes and sometimes it's really useful to have an outsider share perspective. But I don't want it to make DF feel like he is being scrutinized and lose confidence in his parenting. (He really and truely is a kick ass dad).

If you're experiencing runny nose, sneezing, wheezing, shortness of breath or other symptoms that may be related to an allergy, you'll most likely start by seeing your family doctor or general practitioner. Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to prepare for your appointment.
Preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time together. For symptoms that may be related to pet allergy, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
If you've already been diagnosed with asthma and are having difficulty managing the disease, your doctor may talk to you about the possibility of allergies. Although allergies are a major contributing factor to asthma, the influence of allergy on asthma isn't always obvious.
The impact of a pollen allergy may be noticeable because the allergy is seasonal. For example, you may have more difficulty managing your asthma for a short time during the summer.
Pet allergy, on the other hand, may be due to a pet that you're exposed to throughout the year. Even if you don't have a pet, you may be exposed to pet allergens in other people's homes or that have been transported on people's clothes at work or school. Therefore, you may not recognize allergy as a factor possibly complicating your asthma when, in fact, it may be a primary cause.
If you suspect that you may have a pet allergy, take steps to reduce your exposure to your pets. Keep pets out of your bedroom and off upholstered furniture, and wash your hands immediately after touching pets.

MARIETTA - Veterans returning from military service and their families have a new resource for assistance with finding employment and other needs, through a pilot program at the Washington-Morgan Community Action Agency in Marietta.
The Veterans Employment Training Service (VETS) was started back in July, and the local program is one of only six pilot projects being tested throughout Ohio.
"Basically the goal is to assist recent vets from the Iraq or Gulf War conflicts, but this office will serve any veterans. I try to fill the gaps that other veterans programs may not cover," said Karen Pawloski, veterans employment specialist with Washington-Morgan Community Action.
She said the program's main purpose is to help veterans obtain training and break down barriers that may prevent them from getting work as they return to civilian life.
"That help may include child care, transportation (fuel vouchers), or other services," Pawloski said. "And sometimes while a soldier is still on active duty his family back home may need some kind of assistance. A wife may need some retraining to help pay the bills after being out of the workforce for a time."
Working in conjunction with the local One Stop Employment and Training Center as well as community action agencies, Pawloski said the VETS program is uniquely situated to help those returning from military service get back into the workforce.
Fact Box
Veteran Resources
* The Veterans Employment Training Service (VETS) is available for soldiers and their families in Washington and Morgan counties.
* The one-year pilot program is focused on helping recent veterans obtain training and breaking down barriers to re-entering the workforce.
* For information: Karen Pawloski at Washington-Morgan Community Action, 373-3745.
"There are services for veterans out there, but many don't know about them. Our role is to help people find the services they need-we try to connect the dots," said Kathy Lott-Gramkow, director of employment and training for Community Action.
She said her office hasn't seen a large number of veterans returning to this area so far.
"We've not seen as big an impact here as in other areas of the state, but we are seeing some veterans who are in need of help," Lott-Gramkow said.
She noted one soldier who recently moved into the local area from Florida faced problems obtaining work in his field as a truck driver because he couldn't afford to pay for a Commercial Drivers License.
"The VETS office was able to help, he obtained his Ohio CDL and is now back to work," Lott-Gramkow said. "The office can also point veterans in the right direction to obtain services according to their needs."
Pawloski said the office is providing some tuition support for another veteran who is attending the welding program at the Washington County Career Center.
"Welding jobs are highly needed in this area, especially in the growing oil and gas industry," she said. "They're high-paying jobs, too. Once he completes the program he'll find work in a great-paying job."
VETS assistance is available to veterans in Washington and Morgan counties and is based on income guidelines falling within 200 percent of the federal poverty level.
"That means total income for a family of four would have to be below $46,100," Pawloski said, adding that veterans seeking help from her office are also required to register with the One Stop center where the staff can assist with updating resumes and job searches.
"Many of these returning soldiers may not realize it, but they have not only protected their country, they have also obtained some awesome skills during their service," she said. "And many of those skills are not commonly found in the local area. So I would encourage any veteran to contact the VETS office."
The VETS pilot program funding was provided for one year through the former Ohio Department of Development office. But Pawloski said the response has been good so far, and the services will be needed even more for soldiers returning from Afghanistan.
"This is just a good way to help those that have served us," Lott-Gramkow added.

PHOTO GALLERY - Top ten places to meet that special someone in Ireland
Check out - IrishCentralPersonals.com
Read more - Dating Irish girls - A guide for American lads
Read more - Dating an American girl - a guide for Irishmen
Whether you're on the hunt for an Irish spouse or you just fancy a bit of craic here are the top places to meet that special someone in Ireland. From marriage bureaus to match making festivals we have come up with some of the best locations to find an incredible Irish man or woman.
1. GAA game
GAA is the national sport in Ireland. Similar in ways to Ozzie rules,(football) and ice hockey on grass (hurling) they are fast paced games which requires a great deal of skill and precision. It's at the heart of every community in Ireland so it is the perfect setting for bumping into a desirable. Whether your target is a player on the field or a spectator in the stand, simply spark up a conversation about either of the playing teams and you aer guaranteed to whip them into a verbal frenzy.
If it's your first time at a Gaelic football game then perhaps you could put forward a few questions to the man or woman involved such as "Do you play yourself?" Also wolf whistling is a real asset here, to really get yourself noticed. Whistle when your team scores. Or try shouting out random statements such as "Ref what are you thinking," Or "put it (the ball) in the back of the net". Pretending to have some kind of knowledge of the sport will only allure your possible prey.
2. Trad Session
There is nothing like a good old trad session. Typically traditional Irish music sessions are perfect for snapping up a 100% authentic Irish person. These musicians are not only ridiculously talented but they are usually able to double fist their instruments with a pint of Guinness. Music & alcohol; two of Ireland's great loves combined. The passion and talent displayed at a trad session will blow your mind.
Not only could you potentially bag a winner but you will also be immersed in a truly exceptional cultural experience.
3 Irish Wedding
Perhaps you are lucky enough to have some distant relatives that like to invite all the American cousins to the grand Irish weddings. But fear not, all is not lost if you don't possess an invitation to such a joyous occasion.
Wedding crashing can be an adventure in itself but factor in a possible man or woman hunt and you are in for a thrilling day! Don't be too cheeky and avoid trying to bag a seat for the dinner. Simply show up at the after party which is when the real fun usually starts. If anyone asks just simply say you know the bride from when she did her J1, or your uncle Jimmy's cousin from Boston. You haven't seen the family since you were a child and are so happy to be a part of their special day. Once you've decided on your target swoop in with a few token anecdotes about your childhood visits to the Emerald Isle.
4. Stephens Green Dublin/ Eyre Square Galway
For those of you hitting Ireland during the summer months then these are two locations that will be packed with lads and lasses. If it's a hot day then you've hit the jackpot. Besides the sheer amount of bodies that grace these locations during the summer months, both attractions are well worth a visit.
It's our job to point out that drinking in public is illegal in Ireland so best not to pull out a six pack in front of the Garda (Irish policeman) doing his rounds. To really get noticed you should bring along a football perhaps or a Frisbee. Before you know it you will have people joining in from all angles. If you really want to mix it up bring along some baseball paraphernalia. Pitching a baseball will definitely get you noticed.
5. Surfing in Lahinch, Kilkee, Rosses Point or Bundoran.
The Atlantic Ocean draws thousands of visitors each year. The rolling waves off the West coast of Ireland are an optimum spot for bumping into that special someone. Most weekends and holidays these locations witness a flood of Irish surf enthusiasts, who a kin to the surfer stereotype tend to be laid back, down for the craic and adventurous.
If you're not a surfer yourself then just simply hang around these beautiful beaches or in the local bars where surfers flock to after their day riding the waves.

Not too many of us can say we've hiked 5,000 miles - most of us don't even do that in our lifetime. But Elisabeth Perry of Summit County covered that distance in 16 months. The Pacific Crest Trail is a 2,650-mile trek that runs from Mexico to California, Oregon, Washington and into Canada. Elisabeth took on this quest in 2011, and with only 300 miles to go, snowfall prevented her completion. So she did it all over again in 2012 and was able to complete the journey, which brought her total hiking distance to 5,000 miles. Talk about perseverance!
On Monday, Feb. 11 at 6 p.m., she is going to be at Eagle Public Library to share this experience with a slide show presentation accompanied by music.
The hike is a story in itself, but it gets better when we hear about why she decided to make this foot trip. Elisabeth set out on this journey in order to bring awareness to CASA of the Continental Divide. CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates.
CASA's mission is to advocate in court for the best interests of abused or neglected children, and to find safe, permanent homes for them as soon as possible. CASA is a national organization with a local branch serving Colorado's 5th Judicial District - which includes Eagle, Lake, Summit and Clear Creek counties. CASA trains volunteer advocates with comprehensive training about the judicial system and available resources for affected families.
Elisabeth has experience as an intern and a volunteer with CASA.
"It was a trip that changed my life and sparked a new love for me," she said.
She decided to make the trip an opportunity to raise funds and awareness for CASA.
"I think Elisabeth is a very courageous young woman," said CASA Program Director Kathy Reed. "I am proud of her for taking on this challenging hike for our program."
Elisabeth said the most rewarding parts of the journey were the moments of true and complete bliss and peace she experienced on the trail.
"There is so much amazing natural beauty out there, so much magic. These moments make all the hard times worth it. Being able to live outside and spend each day among such beauty is humbling and rewarding on so many levels, it's hard to explain. And, of course, getting to Canada, the end, was one of the most overwhelming moments in my life."
Come and learn about CASA and the experience of going into the wilderness of the Pacific Crest Trail. After Elisabeth presents a PowerPoint slide show of her hike, she will be available for questions and answers. This is a free program for the public, so mark your calendars for an informative evening about this young woman's incredible journey!

As part of a nationwide effort to collect food for local food shelves, the St. James letter carriers collected more than 2,500 pounds of food for the Watonwan County Food Shelf Saturday, May 11.
Now in its twenty-third year, the letter carrier's food drive is the nation's largest single-day food drive, having collected more than one billion pounds of food since its inception in 1993.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's annual study measuring food security in the United States, more than 50 million Americans, including nearly 17 million children, are food insecure, meaning they live at risk of hunger.
The letter carriers of St. James wanted to thank everyone who participated and gave in this year's food drive. They reported a good turn out and believe there was more food collected this year than last year.
A special thank you to any volunteers who helped on pick-up day, specifically Carrier Dick Bradley's son. All of the food will remain local as part of the Watonwan County Food Shelf.

Was iPhone 5C the Cause of Apple's Woes? Mum's the Word
Judging by the comments – or lack thereof – from Apple executives, the company's mantra for its less-expensive iPhone 5C seems to be: "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all."
Apple sold 51 million iPhones in the December quarter, good enough for a 7% increase from a year earlier but less than the 55 million units that analysts were predicting. It was a disappointing figure, considering Apple had expanded its iPhone line-up for the first time by offering a high-end iPhone 5S and a more affordable 5C. Tuesday morning, Apple shares were down more than 7% on Wall Street.
Apple executives never directly pointed to the 5C as the culprit, despite repeated analyst questions. Instead, they stayed mum about the 5C while praising the 5S at every turn.
The closest that Apple came to blaming the 5C was when CEO Tim Cook told analysts that the iPhone "did not do well" in North America because the demand "mix was stronger to the 5S." Later on the call, Cook said consumers flocked to the 5S because of its fingerprint sensor, a feature missing from the 5C.
Separately, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer said Apple didn't have enough supply of the 5S until the end of the quarter, but didn't mention the 5C in his comments. Nor did Apple break down iPhone sales by model.
One sign of the demand trend: The average selling price of the iPhone proved resilient to the pricing pressure facing other smartphones. It came in at $637 in the December quarter, compared with $577 in the previous quarter and $642 in the year-ago period. The iPhone 5S starts at $649 without a contract, while the iPhone 5C starts at $549 without contract.
The 5C represented a tweak to Apple's iPhone strategy. In the past, Apple had targeted more price-sensitive consumers by offering its previous generation iPhone at a $100 discount. This time, it offered the 5C, ostensibly a new model but essentially the same hardware as the previous-generation iPhone 5 with a plastic case that comes in five different colors.
Apple said that the 5C was successful in bringing new customers to the iPhone and would have done better with North American iPhone users if carriers had made it easier to upgrade. It also noted that it sold more units of the 5C as its "entry phone" than it had of the iPhone 4S last year, when it was the low-end model.
It didn't take long before concerns surfaced about how it was selling. After both models launched in September, the 5S was on back order while consumers could buy the 5C immediately. In October, the Journal reported that Apple had reduced orders for the 5C.
In December, Apple supplier Jabil Circuit, which produces the plastic cases for the iPhone 5C and the metal exteriors for the 5S, said it had suffered an unanticipated drop in demand from a big customer. Analysts who follow Jabil pointed to Apple and the 5C as the likely reason.
Still, it may be too soon to declare the 5C dead. The flagship 5S was targeted at early adopters, and the 5C is expected to do better with consumers who are less intent on getting the newest model.

I've been dealing with plantar fasciitis since a marathon in 2010. Admittedly, I wasn't good to my feet - wore heels, didn't stretch enough, not sufficient TLC - but man that pain was rough. After 6 months PT and regular podiatrist appointments (with cortisone shots), I still couldn't get a good run in.
Recently, I read on another forum that rolling a tennis ball (or golf ball) on the bottom of your feet while at your desk or on the couch acts as a nice muscle massager. Within about a week of using the tennis balls, plus continued icing and stretching, I'm now feeling back to normal. I also use better arch support insoles in both my running and walking shoes.
I just wanted to post this tip. I know everyone develops and heals from plantar fasciitis differently. Good luck to you!
Please be aware of the full impact the Golf Ball Fix can have.
When I was in school, one of my instructors had me perform a test: First, I bent over to touch my toes (always have a hard time doing this). The position of my fingers was noted. Then I was told to roll a golf ball under the arch of one foot only. After a few painful minutes of this, I again bent over to touch my toes, and the fingers on the same side as the foot I treated with the golf ball were over an inch closer to my toes.
I and the rest of the class didn't know the object of the experiment before it was performed. The lesson was that release of the Plantar Fascia has an effect on tissues much farther away. In fact, there is a continuous band of connected tissues (fascia) from the sole of the foot to the top of the head, which this experiment partly demonstrated.
My point is that stretching or loosening something may have an impact far beyond your direct intentions. Although I have recommended the Golf Ball Fix before, it does not apply in every case. Yes, there are a few layers of muscle on the plantar side of the foot that can benefit from massage, but stretching the fascia to get to them may not be necessary, especially if you have a flat or pronated foot that may lack sufficient tension in the Plantar Fascia.
When massaging muscles of the foot specifically, it is best to passively force plantar flexion of the foot to release the plantar fascia, as we do it professionally, by laying the client face down on a massage table or exercise mat.
Regarding arch supports, they should be viewed as a quick fix, not a permanent solution. In fact, an arch support forces some of the weight of impact to be borne by the Plantar Fascia, which can then stretch it, causing the arch to relax and become even more dependent on the arch support.
Arch supports were conceived by specialists who looked past the muscles and fascia to the bone structure of the foot. While it is true that a support restores the intended shape to the arch, there is already a mechanism in place to do this, that in many cases become too tight or too loose, for various reasons. Muscular dysfunction in the leg is often the culprit. Restoring the proper operation to this mechanism is more important than making the arch look instantly perfect so people can run right away.
Releasing the muscles of the calf from chronic tension, coupled with strengthening them (both are important), particularly the deep muscle Tibialis Posterior, can help restore healthy tension to the arch. Some people have even reported raising of the arch by using barefoot running, or unstructured shoes like Vibram 5-Fingers, which simply removes the prosthetic support of shoes and orthotics, and replaces them with... nothing. For some individuals, this can force the muscles to adapt to rebuild the arch. For most people, a crutch is a temporary remedy. I hope that in your case it is so.
Plantar fasciitis is one of the more common complaints that I treat. I find that the combination of deep tissue massage from a highly skilled fascial therapist; self massage using foam roller therapy; and corrective exercise to be a very successful treatment.
Here is an article with self massage exercises specific to treating plantar fasciitis.
Jesse James
I've read through many posts and different threads on this particular injury and one constant that I seem to run into is that treatment for everyone is different. I have been dealing with my constant pain since January of this year (started with my left arch and sometime about Spring -- started occurring in my right)... I have been stretching and self massaging and will continue to do so, but one thing I have neglected to do is to take a good amount of time off from running altogether.
It's been a little over a week since my last run and plan to stay off for at least a month and see if it improves that way. This is one frustrating pain in the foot (no pun intended) because not running makes me feel like a lazy slob!
On a side note, I am glad to hear about the steriod shots being only a temporary fix, since the last check up I had with my physician told me ... "he discouraged giving them casue they were so painful.."
Appreciate reading all the helpful information. Thanks.
You may want to reflecta little on the idea of continuing with stretching. In my experience recalcitrent heel pain often is related to too much stretching. Take a look at short article I wrote Foot Posture Foot Pain - everyday postions which stretch the plantar fascia, and Stretching Exercise Delays Recovery from Heel Pain.
Damien Howell PT, DPT. OCS
I've only just started running (this is my second week of C25K). After running yesterday morning, this morning I woke up with pain in my heels. After consulting Dr Google it seems like a textbook case of plantar fasciitis.
I'm just wondering how I should address it. From what I've read, rest, ice, stretching and new shoes are obvious first steps. However it's unclear to me how LONG I need to rest. Before this problem cropped up, I was planning to run again tomorrow morning. If my heels feel fine tomorrow, should I run? I obviously don't want to make it any worse and I'm hoping that treating it at this early stage means I can prevent it from turning into a major problem.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
It is good that you are doing your research - and one of the things that you will find is that there is no one way to fix Plantar Faciitis. Different things work for different people. Here is what I've learned:
1. NOT running does NOT make it get better. The good news though is that tunning does not make it worse. So keep running....
2. The root cause of PF seems to often be somewhere other than the sole of your foot. It may be a calf, hamstring, or quad that is causing the problem.
3. Consider seeing a chiropractor for an "alignment" to help with removing the root cause for the PF.
4. I do ice my foot immediately after running. I literally plop my foot in a sink with cold water and add ice to it. Soak for 10-12 minutes, then dry off and warm up with a towel.
5. Do A LOT of stretching. Find routines that allow you stretch all areas of your legs. For your foot and the PF itself, while sitting, place the affected foot on your knee, then with one hand stretch your toes back to your ankle while at the same time massaging your instep with your other hand. I found that this helped me tremendously if I did it several times a day.
6. Taping: Taping was very helpful at first, a life saver actually, and then it didn't do anything for me for a while. You can do a search for taping techniques - there are various iterations, and then I wound up doing my own just because it felt good.
7. Gel inserts: try some generic gel inserts to help ease the discomfort in your heel.
8. In the morning, before you get out of bed, stretch your foot a bunch. Otherwise, your first few steps will be very painful. While in bed, just pull your toes back to your ankle a bunch, then release and point your toes all the way out. Repeat a bunch of times.
9. Sitting for a long time? do the stretch routine noted above.
10. Sometimes using a golf ball or a tennis ball on your instep will help losen the tight facii.
11. A doctor friend offered to shoot me up with cortisone - which I declined. Another friend with PF tried it said that it was extremely painful and it did not help him. But then again, some things work for some people...
Good luck - I feel for you, but the good news is that it will get better!

Sherwood off?
I saw a little rumour that Blackburn want Tim to be their new manager...I wonder what impact that would have and if he has been pointing AVB in the right direction tactically when he hasn't got it entirely right?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
If Sherwood goes to Venkys at least it will at some taste to their Chicken.
I think he'd be mad to go personally. The rumours also abounded earlier that he was being 'groomed' for the Spurs manager's job and that he was thought very highly of by the club. The Venkys have been inspiring as owners have they?
I don't think Sherwood's role at Spurs is that close to AVB (I'm not actually sure what his role is now) - I thought that was Freund's role?
- 1 Reply to Jlock
If the above is still current, he seems to oversea all the teams (apart from the first team I would assume from parts of the articale - although the scope does say 'all squads') - I had heard that he was the man involved with the nextgen competition, so it could be his role still.
How annoyed must Steve Kean be?
I read the same stories regarding Sherwood, first the club spokesperson says he can't believe Kean is still in a job, now this!
He must be livid- mind you, *IF* he was better and not such a back stabber, maybe his job wouldn't be up for grabs every other week.

Watch Those Tweets: The EEOC Looks at Social Media
If an employer uses Facebook and other social media for recruiting, can it be liable for discriminating against older people less inclined to use computers?
If an employee posts a negative remark on Facebook about a co-worker that makes the co-worker uncomfortable at the office, can the employer be responsible for a hostile work environment?
Cases like these were cited at an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission hearing last week on how the use of social media—by employees, job seekers and the employers who follow their tweets and LinkedIn profiles—can affect enforcement of employment discrimination laws.
So far, there have been few such cases, EEOC officials say. But given the explosion in social media use, there is great potential for more, prompting the agency to gather input from employment lawyers on how it can better enforce the laws and guide employers to avoid the kinds of landmines that can intersect with social media and the workplace.
Commissioner Victoria Lipnic, who organized the hearing, called it a "listening session."
Much of the focus was on hiring practices. Social media can expose employers to more information than they'd generally be allowed to ask in interviews, such as someone's age, family medical history, religion or pregnancy status. Because federal employment laws forbid using those factors to discriminate, an employer's simple knowledge of it could spur allegations from people who suspect an unfavorable action against them was related.
Many lawyers say those legal risks shouldn't stop employers from using social media to broaden their applicant pools or search for lawfully useful information, such as online resumes or professional profiles.
But inconsistent search practices could raise red flags, they say. An employer could be accused of probing one applicant and not another for reasons that could be viewed as discriminatory, such as an ethnic-sounding name.
"We are constantly refining how these tools should and should not operate in the workplace," said Jonathan Segal, an employment lawyer for Duane Morris LLP who represents employers and testified on behalf of the Society for Human Resource Management. In a study the group conducted last year, 77% of companies indicated they were using social networking sites to recruit candidates for specific jobs, up from 56% in 2011 and 34% in 2008. LinkedIn was most popular, followed by Facebook and Twitter. Far fewer employers said they used social media to screen applicants, often fearing legal risks.
Issues have also emerged in the employment context, where harassment is "a particularly thorny issue," said Renee Jackson, an associate who counsels employers for Nixon Peabody LLP and testified at the hearing. Supervisors who "friend" subordinates on Facebook could witness online exchanges revealing harassment that the supervisor would need to report, Ms. Jackson said. Employers aware of such postings risk being liable for a hostile work environment, said Lynne Bernabei, a plaintiffs' lawyer who testified.
In one case cited, an employee of a federal agency filed a complaint against the agency alleging that a co-worker's negative Facebook postings about him made him uncomfortable at the office and amounted to racial harassment. The agency dismissed the complaint for failure to state a claim but the EEOC decided it could go forward and has remanded it to the agency, saying the allegations when considered together reflect an actionable claim. The case "acknowledges that a social media posting by a co-worker may contribute to the creation of an unlawful hostile work environment," said EEOC lawyer Carol Miaskoff.
The EEOC sided with the employer in a case involving a different issue. A 61-year-old woman alleged a federal agency didn't hire her because of her age, contending the agency's recruitment through social media had a disparate impact on older workers because they use computers less. She lost on appeal to the EEOC, which agreed she lacked evidence. Lawyers advise employers not to confine recruitment to social media.
The co-worker police is another phenomenon lawyers are seeing that could implicate employees for social media postings. An overworked employee might see a vacation or skydiving photo of a colleague who's on medical leave, for example. Whether an employer should use that information depends on how it was obtained, Ms. Jackson tells clients. If it's publicly available, it's usable for an investigation but if a password is required it's not, she said, though she'd approve of a printout an employer receives of a private posting.
EEOC Commissioner Constance Barker, who previously represented businesses, said the agency should "be careful not to expand our jurisdiction" beyond laws it enforces such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
She also suggested employees and job seekers should use more prudence. "I have a total lack of sympathy for all the people who blast their private lives on Facebook and other social media," she said.

NM woman heads to trial for stealing $2 pumpkin
Published: Monday, February 20, 2012 at 10:59 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 20, 2012 at 10:59 a.m.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A 23-year-old college student from New Mexico is scheduled to go to trial for allegedly stealing a small pumpkin worth two dollars.
KOAT-TV (http://bit.ly/wXg7PI ) in Albuquerque, N.M., reports that Lauren Medina will go before a jury and Moriarity Magistrate Judge Steve Jones on Tuesday. She is accused of taking the pumpkin in October 2011 from McCall's Pumpkin Patch in Moriarty.
Her sister, Annette Atencio, says Medina spent $75 on food that day but forgot to pay for the pumpkin she picked up as she was leaving. Atencio says her sister offered to pay but was refused and then handcuffed.
Atencio says she's in disbelief that the theft charge against her sister was not dropped.
She says her sister could have pleaded guilty and be given probation, but refused.

Monday was the official kickoff to the Christmas holiday. It was the first year I was unable to participate in what has now become a Retail Association tradition. From what I hear, it was a fabulous evening shared by many people who greeted Santa Claus when he arrived courtesy of the Sleepy Eye firemen.
I have to admit, I love Christmas and everything it means. The Christ Child born in the stable, spending wonderful time with my children, grandchildren, family and friends.
Last year we tried something new and it didn't go so well. So I need to figure out something else we can do each year so my grandchildren know Christmas is not just about getting an abundance of gifts, but more about being with those you love and the greatest gift of all... God's Son.
There is so much negativity in the world that we need to sometimes step back and look at the big picture. Decide what is most important in our lives. Is it the hustle, pushing, shoving, bad mouthing and all the drama that surrounds holidays and shopping for the greatest deal? And it's not even just at holiday time, but each day. Why does it have to be such a struggle to be kind to people? A couple of weeks ago it was Random Acts of Kindness Week. Did anyone do something nice for someone else just out of the blue for no particular reason? Some kindness that was not just part of a daily routine, but you went that extra mile to be nice to someone? I should like to think I did. But if I did, for the life of me I can't remember what it was.
This year, kick off the Christmas season with love for those around you. I read in a book if we treated everyone in our lives the way we treated our good friends, the world would be an amazing place to live. In reflecting on that, I would never hurt someone I considered a friend. So the love and compassion you share with your best friends, bestow on those around you each day, even if they aren't your best friend and spread the message of the Good News this Christmas season. Peace, Forgiveness, Mercy and God's greatest gift to us, His Son who saved us even from ourselves. God grant you a blessed Christmas.
Thought for the week:
Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them and try to follow them. – Louise May Alcott.

Arsenal finally got their MAN
Mesut Özil has completed his move from Real Madrid to Arsenal in a reported club record bid of £42million, despite late interest from Manchester United and PSG, Arsenal managed to pull off the signing after he accepted their offer of a five-year-contract.
Özil's stats: 82% Shot Accuracy & 91 Chances Created (The highest in Europe).
Unbelievable stuff......Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I think he will prove to better in the league then Coutinho, Mata, Silva and co, he is a phenominal talent. In that way, Arsenal have to become better because it should free up a bit of man marking away from the Carzola's and Wilshires whilst undoubtedly providing more service for Giroud or Walcott. Again, just like everybody knew back in May, creativity is hardly an Arsenal weak point, really they could have done with a keeper (A better one!), a centre half, a holding midfielder and a striker. They got in a keeper that will surely be back up, Flamini could well do that dirty role in the middle, whilst they dont really have much cover for Giroud as a proper striker. Starting 11, they look strong as hell, outside of that, they look a lot less convincing. I have to say though, I would rather sign Mezut Ozil alone then Ash Williams, Demba Ba, Julio Cesar and Felaini put together! Funny old game.

Haven't had the time to post on here as I used to do, but thanks all for contributing your valued inputs to this thread.
Hobitez, I couldn't disagree more. It's poor management to pass along the opportunity to sign an undoubtedly world class player like Ozil when you had the chance to do so, these sort of great players don't become available in the market most transfer windows, and Wenger did well by taking up the chance to sign him. Wenger confirmed after the Sunderland match today that we have now lost Cazorla for up to a month due to an injury he picked up at the just concluded International call-up, we would have been badly exposed in the engine room as a result of Cazorla's unavailability. Arsenal's game is purely based on high possession football due to our midfielders, the absence of Cazorla and Rosicky (also sidelined due to an injury he picked up whilst on International duties) could have left a big void in our midfield. A great coup by Wenger, imo, as Ozil is pure class and he showcased his obvious talent with a sublime performance at the stadium of Light today. The more ammunitions in midfield the better for Arsenal.

Hey MC, good to have you back, and thank god we don't have to talk about a Suarez transfer (at least till January!).
I do think your lot just got a lot better with Ozil coming in. There is no two ways about it he is class, and I'd expect him to have an impact assuming he can settle quickly. Might take a few games for him to get up to speed being used to a more pedestrian midfield in Spain, but as he's used to the German league, no doubt he'll settle into English football.
My only concern if I were an Arsenal fan is does the big splash actually help in the right places? Yes Ozil makes you better, but as an attacking midfielder surely he's just an upgrade over what you already have in Wiltshire, Ramsey, Arteta, Ox, Podolski, and Rosicky. I know you've had injuries there so having cover, or in fact making your existing players cover for your new player, was needed, but is it the position that needed spending on?
Beginning of the summer, until just a week or so ago it was all about bringing in a striker, Higuain, Suarez, or Rooney. Most pundits, and I agreed what you actually needed was a new keeper (which you got, but I assume he's back up?) center back, and a big strong ball winning defensive midfielder. But it looks like you got instead a very, very good player, but not one who plays in the positions most thought you needed to invest in.

"(at least till January!)"?
What planet are you from, Dave? :o)
I could have swore I've read several stories in the papers linking Suarez with a move away from Anfield already AFTER the window closed.
On Ozil's signing, please refer to my reply to Hoiotez's post above.
On what Arsenal needed?, only time will tell but 69% overall possession in Arsenal's favour isn't a bad stats to have especially at a tough ground like Stadium of Light. Most of the so-called balanced sides would be lucky to have that amount of possession against a decent Sunderland side this season. Wenger still knows what makes a trophy winning team despite all the acres of prints that have been written about him in the last 8 seasons . Personally, I'll defer to his judgement on what Arsenal need to start winning things again. Strangely, alot of people still forget that Arsenal were under financial constraints due to the stadium debts. Ozil and the attempts to sign Suarez this summer are the result of the austerity measured imposed in the last 8 seasons in order to give us a great chance of competing with the elite sides for great players in the long-run in the transfer market. As Gazidis rightly remarked earlier in the summer, Arsenal can now pay Rooney's wages to any player the manager is interested in signing. New dawn at the Emirates methinks...
Definitely worthy of headlines, and if Whinger was going to smash his own transfer record, Ozil was the player to do it on. I fell in love w/ the guy at the 2010 World Cup, and was devastated that he ended up at Madrid for about 13M, albeit after having rejected Man United. Just think if Arsene hadn't dilly dallied about with Gonzalo Higuain, sealed him up, and not wasted anyone's time with Suarez.
Ozil was equally my fav player in the world alongside Cavani (for not being named Torres/Gerrard), and it only died down because of Jose and the dirty Madrid he created, but for my money, Mesut Ozil is the best attacking number 10 in the world, bar none. That said, he does have some fitness and cardio issues, and struggled in very physical matches, BUT he can still find ways to keep himself in the game with his insane vision aka, as they call him on our network here "AVATAR EYES", and the ability to play wide right. He's much faster than people think too. He will have to bulk up, and get his fitness up, but easily trumps some of the other names Arsenal supposedly were after.
I think and per a good mate of mine who's a gooner die hard, you are still paper thin in the wide areas and up front, especially if Giroud or Walcott go down, but if you manage a good run of health, and also find matches to put Walcott up top with Ozil in the hole, there could be some explosive action.
Like I said, I still have to question overall depth, the wide areas and the occasional frailties at the back in those "should win" matches, but if Ozil does what we all know, his 1 signing could be better than just about every one of your London rivals (except Lamela, who I expect to be brilliant & Paulinho). Far better than anything UTD did, and debatable about how Chelski get on with overloads of players..

School vacation dates often do not match up with work vacation dates, as many a parent is aware in Summit County. However, the town of Frisco's recreation department has a program designed to help out parents in this exact situation. It's a day camp for no-school days, where children between the ages of 5-12 can do activities and spend time with their peers while their parents are at work.
Jeremy Bryson works for the recreation department and is into his second year as camp counselor. He said he enjoys doing the activities with the children, which range anywhere between arts and crafts to outside games to trips to the museum.
"We mix some educational stuff into it," he said. "It's a lot of fun things. We like to go places and on field trips. We like to do things around the town as well."
He takes the kids to visit the Mountain Top Children's Museum in Breckenridge, for example, as well as on a ride on the gondola. Every day involves some outdoor or physical play, such as tubing at the Frisco Adventure Park, swimming, bowling or spending time in the park or playground.
Alyssa Lewark, Bryson's co-counselor, knows the camp program inside and out, because she's gone through it.
"I went to this camp from when I was seven to 12," she said, smiling. She spent the next three years as a junior counselor and now is a full counselor. The camp not only happens in winter, but also for spring break and over the summer as well. As a student at Summit High School, Lewark has the camp days off of school and prefers to spend them with the kids, some of whom she has known since they started camp and watched them grow up.
"I like the kids," she said of her favorite part about being a camp counselor. "They're so sweet and adorable."
The first winter camp started Monday and lasts throughout the school district's winter break to Friday. The next camp will take place during the district's spring break, from April 15-19. The program is state-licensed and requires sign-up and registration ahead of time. For more information, contact Linsey Kach at (970) 668-9133 or email@example.com.
