Betty White is back in her Emmy®-nominated role as Elka Ostrovsky in the hit TV Land series "Hot in Cleveland. The show follows three fabulous friends from Los Angeles (Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves and Wendie Malick) whose plane, bound for Paris, is forced to make an emergency landing in Cleveland. After discovering that they're still "hot" in Cleveland, they decide to move there and start over together. White plays Elka, the sharp-tongued caretaker that comes with the Victorian home the women rent.
The past few years have been phenomenal for White. She was honored with two consecutive SAG® Awards for her role as Elka on "Hot in Cleveland", as well as a Primetime Emmy® Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series in 2011. In November 2010, the British Academy of Film & Television honored White with the Charlie Chaplin Award for Excellence in Comedy, and in December of the same year, she was inducted into the California Hall of Fame in Sacramento. She received a Gracie Award in May of 2011 from the Alliance for Women in Media, which recognizes achievement in programming for women. In June 2011, White along with "Hot in Cleveland," co-stars Bertinelli, Leeves and Malick was presented with the key to the city of Cleveland by the mayor.
Betty guest stars on the Season 3 LIVE premiere of The Soul Man.
White took popular culture by storm in 2010 after starring in a Snickers commercial that aired during the Super Bowl. Later that year, after a successful fan-based Facebook campaign, she hosted "Saturday Night Live" and scored one of the highest ratings for the show in recent history and picked up an Emmy® for the gig, to boot. In 2009, White played Ryan Reynolds' scene-stealing Grandma Annie in the chart-topping Sandra Bullock romantic comedy "The Proposal." In that same year, she was also heard in theatres voicing the elderly Yoshie in Oscar®-winner Hayao Miyazaki's animated adventure "Ponyo."
Beloved comedienne, pioneering television producer, host, author and an advocate for the health and welfare of animals, Betty White received the Screen Actors Guild's most prestigious accolade, the Screen Actors Guild® Life Achievement Award, for career achievement and humanitarian accomplishment in 2010 at the 16th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards®. The award is given annually to an actor who fosters the "finest ideals of the acting profession."
Betty Marion White was born January 17, 1922, in Oak Park, Ill., the only child of Horace, an electrical engineer, and Tess, a housewife. The family moved to California when White was two years old. After graduating from Beverly Hills High School, White made her professional debut at the Bliss Hayden Little Theatre and landed parts in such popular radio shows as "Blondie," "The Great Gildersleeve" and "This Is Your FBI." Her first radio program, "The Betty White Show," followed. Her big break came in 1949, when she joined Al Jarvis' five-and-a-half-hour, six-days-a-week live KLAC-TV variety show, "Hollywood on Television." Starting out as Jarvis' "Girl Friday," White inherited the show's hosting duties for two more years when Jarvis left in 1952.
That same year, she formed Bandy Productions with producer Don Fedderson and writer George Tibbles. Spinning off characters from a "Hollywood on Television" sketch, they created the domestic comedy "Life with Elizabeth," for which White received her first of six Emmys(R). Syndication brought the program to national audiences through the mid-1950s. The series made White one of only a few women with creative control in front of and behind the camera in television's early years. White went on to produce and host a daily NBC talk/variety series, "The Betty White Show," garnering a Daytime Emmy® nomination. Her second sitcom, "A Date with the Angels," premiered in 1957 and eventually evolved into another eponymous comedy/variety showcase.
White's sly, ribald humor made her an audience favorite on the late-night talk show circuit as she matched wits with Jack Paar (more than 70 appearances), Merv Griffin and Johnny Carson (including many Mighty Carson Art Players performances), and even subbed for all three as a guest host. Her clever spontaneity also earned her spots on numerous game shows, such as "The Match Game," "To Tell the Truth," "I've Got A Secret," "Password" and "Liar's Club" the latter two of which hosted by Allen Ludden, whom she married in 1963 after a persistent two-year courtship.
When White and Ludden's pals, actor Mary Tyler Moore Mary Tyler Moore and her producer/husband, Grant Tinker, were casting for a cloyingly sweet "Betty White-type" to guest star on their hit series "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," they ultimately decided to go with the real deal. White's 1973 guest shot as the saccharinely catty, man-hungry "Happy Homemaker" Sue Ann Nivens was White's entrance into one of television's most iconic ensembles. The role re-launched White's acting career and earned her three back-to-back Supporting Actress Emmy® Awards and then a fourth Emmy® nomination.
After the series' historic final episode in 1977, MTM created "The Betty White Show," with White playing the second-rate star of a TV police drama. After its brief run, White guest-starred in the miniseries "The Place to Be" (1979) and co-starred in such telefilms as "With This Ring" (1978), "Before and After" (1979) and "The Gossip Columnist" (1980), before breaking ground as TV's first female game show host on NBC's "Just Men." Drawing on the lascivious persona she perfected as Sue Ann, White earned the first and only Daytime Emmy® for Best Game Show Host awarded to a female emcee. A second Daytime Emmy® nomination followed in 1984.
In 1983, White began a three-year recurring stint on Vicki Lawrence's "Mama's Family," reprising the role of social climber Ellen Harper Jackson, a character she had created in sketches on "The Carol Burnett Show" in the early 70s. In 1985, at 63, White began what became the most lauded role of her career, the sweetly naïve Minnesotan Rose Nylund on NBC's Saturday night hit "The Golden Girls." White, along with co-stars Beatrice Arthur, Estelle Getty and Rue McClanahan, proved that great comedy transcended age, as did the series' stellar ratings and countless honors including, for White, a first-year lead actress Emmy®, six subsequent nominations and two Golden Globe® nominations. She reprised the role of Rose on three other series: "Empty Nest" (1989 and 1992), "Nurses" (1991) and "The Golden Palace" (199293).
In 1991, White starred opposite Leslie Nielsen in the romantic NBC telefilm "Chance of a Lifetime" and subsequently shone in a variety of series, including with Bob Newhart in "Bob" (1993) and as Marie Osmond's mother in "Maybe This Time" (1995). She won her fourth Emmy® for her guest-starring self-caricature on "The John Larroquette Show" (1996) and earned more Emmy® nominations for guest roles on "Suddenly Susan" (1997) and "Yes, Dear" (2003). She played Alfred Molina's mother in "Ladies Man" (1999-2001) and played a recurring role in "That 70's Show" (2002-03). A 2007 TV Land Awards parody entitled "Ugly Betty White" led to a subsequent guest appearance as herself on the spoof's target, "Ugly Betty," with White going head-to-head over a taxi with Vanessa Williams' Wilhelmina Slater. Other television guest appearances include "St. Elsewhere," "The Ellen Show," "Everwood," "My Wife and Kids," "Joey" and "Malcolm in the Middle." She has voiced animated characters on The Simpsons," "King of the Hill," "The Wild Thornberrys," "Father of the Pride" and "Family Guy," as well as in the feature "Whispers: An Elephant's Tale." White's more recent films for television include "The Lost Valentine" opposite Jennifer Love Hewitt for Hallmark Hall of Fame in 2011, "Annie's Point" in 2005 for the Hallmark Channel, "Stealing Christmas" in 2003 for USA and "The Retrievers" in 2001 for Animal Planet.
With "The Practice" in 2004, White once again turned one-shot casting into gold. Her guest turn as conniving blackmailer Catherine Piper led not only to another Emmy® nomination but also to a recurring return for White as Catherine on the subsequent David E. Kelley series "Boston Legal" (20052008). In 1999, White guest-starred for Kelley on "Ally McBeal," earning an American Comedy Award for Funniest Female Guest Appearance in a Television Series, and starred in his horror-film send-up "Lake Placid." Her 2009 guest performance as the Crazy Witch Lady on "My Name is Earl" earned White her 18th Emmy® nomination. She most recently appeared as herself in an episode of "30 Rock" and in guest starring roles on "Community" and "The Middle."
White returned to the big screen in 2003 in the comedy "Bringing Down the House" opposite Steve Martin and Queen Latifah, and appeared in 2009's "Love 'n' Dancing." Earlier films include "Hard Rain" (1998) with Morgan Freeman and Christian Slater, "Dennis the Menace Strikes Again" (1998) playing Mrs. Wilson opposite Don Rickles, and Rob Reiner's "The Story of Us" (1999).
In December 2006, White joined the daytime drama "The Bold and the Beautiful" as Ann Douglas, the long-lost mother of matriarch Stephanie Forrester (Susan Flannery). She has appeared 19 times since, most recently in November 2009.
White narrated network telecasts of the annual Tournament of Roses Parade from 1954 through 1974 and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade for 10 years.
Honors have been bestowed on White throughout her career. In 1976 she was awarded the Pacific Pioneers in Broadcasting Golden Ike Award and the Genii Award from the American Women in Radio and TV. She was honored with the American Comedy Award for Funniest Female in 1987 and the Lifetime Achievement Award in 1990. In 1995 she was inducted into the Television Academy's Hall of Fame. In 2006 she was profiled by the Paley Center for Media as part of their "She Made It" initiative honoring women creating television and radio. In August of 2009 she received a Career Achievement Award from the Television Critics Association, and she was presented with a Disney Legends Award in September 2009. In 2011, White was given the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame.
White's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame rests adjacent to that of her late husband Allen Ludden, who sadly succumbed to cancer in 1981.
White's devotion to the health and welfare of animals has been a passion since childhood. She is President Emeritus of the Morris Animal Foundation and has been a trustee since 1971. She first learned about the Foundation's support of research studies to protect, treat and cure animals while creating, producing and hosting "The Pet Set," the 1970-71 syndicated series featuring celebrities and their pets. She received the American Veterinary Medical Association's Humane Award in 1987. A member of the board of the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association since 1974, she served as a Zoo Commissioner for eight years. In February 2006, White was honored by the City of Los Angeles with a bronze plaque placed next to the Gorilla Exhibit at the Los Angeles Zoo naming her Ambassador to the Animals for her life-long work for animal welfare. In 2007, Western University Veterinary School awarded her an honorary Doctor of Humane Veterinary Sciences. In October 2009, she received the Jane Goodall Institute's Lifetime Achievement Award. In February 2012, The Los Angeles Zoo honored White with a special gift when they named a baby orangutan Elka after her "Hot in Cleveland" character.
Four of White's published books directly connect to her passion for animals: " Betty White's Pet Love: How Pets Take Care of Us" (1983), "Betty & Friends: My Life at the Zoo" (2011), "The Leading Lady: Dinah's Story" (1991) and "Together: A Story of Shared Vision" (2008), the latter two co-authored with Tom Sullivan. Her most recent autobiography, 2011's "If You Ask Me (And Of Course You Won't)" from Putnam Publishing, was preceded by "Betty White in Person" in 1987 and "Here We Go Again: My Life in Television" in 1995. That life continues to unfold new chapters.

Farrow & Ball
The Musée Rodin would like to thank its partner Farrow & Ball for the colour enhancement of the renovated rooms of the museum.
Farrow & Ball, partner of the Musée Rodin
The Musée Rodin is proud to count the English company Farrow & Ball, manufacturer of traditional paints and wallpapers since 1946, among its most loyal partners. Since 2007, Farrow & Ball has supported the institution by supplying the necessary paint for the decoration of the temporary exhibition room.
Colours of the temporary exhibition Rodin: The Laboratory of the Creation
|Manor House Gray 265
|Down Pipe 26
|Dayroom 233
Farrow & Ball has joined forces with the Musée Rodin as part of the renovation work programme for the Hôtel Biron. More than 5,000 m² will be repainted in a range of chosen colours. Prior to the colour selection, investigations were carried out across the entire building to rediscover the paints used since the construction of the mansion in the 18th century. The samples taken from the walls notably revealed vibrant colours, dazzling reds and greens.
Colours of the Hôtel Biron
|Blue Grey 91
|Slipper Satin 2004
|Biron Gray
|Joa's White
|Lime White
The choice of the new colours took into account several factors:
- > The historical dimension: the choice of green in certain rooms particularly evokes the history of the building.
- > The final museum itinerary: the works are enhanced thanks to the alliance of colours, materials and lighting (the combination of brown and bronze, for example).
- > The orientation of the rooms: depending on the light, the tints can vary and are more or less dense.
Showcasing the Hôtel Biron
The expertise of the Farrow & Ball colourists has enabled the teams at the Musée Rodin to better understand the final choice of colours, which has to meet a twofold objective: showcase the Hôtel Biron while conserving its historic character, and enhance the presentation of the works. The reopening of the renovated wing of the Hôtel Biron is an opportunity to discover the first completed rooms. The Musée Rodin would like to thank its partner Farrow & Ball for the colour enhancement of its rooms.

"Almost everyone agrees that today's culture is in a crisis," says Kelley. "Morally corrupt leaders, nihilistic movies and music, a bankrupt educational system, random acts of horrific violence-these symptoms
are all around us. Millions sense that the source of this cultural chaos lies in a poverty of values: in moral rootlessness, in a lack of philosophical moorings.
"I believe that Objectivism offers the moral and philosophical solution. The Objectivist Center is leading the way. We are laying the intellectual groundwork for cultural regeneration; finding the principled solutions to
the practical problems of modern living; fostering a benevolent community rooted in respect for individual human life and liberty." ~ David Kelley

Marching Cavaliers head to Philadelphia for Thanksgiving
Published: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 6:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 6:44 p.m.
The Dorman High School marching Cavaliers will spend their holiday in uniform, performing in the nation's oldest Thanksgiving Day parade in Philadelphia.
The band will board Charter buses late Sunday night, bound for a quick stop in New York before traveling back to Pennsylvania.
The parade will be streamed live on 6abc.com beginning at 8:30 a.m. and lasting until about noon.
As part of the application process, the Dorman band submitted a video of its performance in the Spartanburg Christmas parade last year and will now march the 1.4-mile route alongside floats and balloons, dance groups and other performers.
But first, the group of 115 will take in famous New York sites on Monday and Tuesday, like Times Square, Rockefeller Center and the Statue of Liberty. On Wednesday, they'll continue on to Philadelphia, where they'll visit the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and the famous "Rocky" steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
"This is an important event for the Dorman Marching Cavaliers," said Director of Bands Dave Bruce. "I wanted our kids to have the experience of performing in a national parade and to be able to tour two of our great American cities: New York and Philadelphia … I know our outstanding performance will reflect positively on Dorman High School and all others that we represent."
The band will return to Spartanburg Friday.

RANDOLPH – Nearly 300 motorcyclists, cyclists and runners/walkers participated in Gifford Medical Center's eighth annual Last Mile Ride on Saturday, raising a record $56,000 for end-of-life care.
Beneath sunny skies, the day juxtaposed heart-wrenching, yet inspiring, stories of loss with a celebration featuring the high tempo sounds of "Jeanne and The Hi-Tops," food, fun and prize awards.
Earning the top prize for his fund-raising efforts was Reg Mongeur of Randolph, who collected $3,458 from generous friends, family and strangers alike. A much-anticipated Harley/$5,000 cash raffle was won by Carol Bushey of Brookfield. A quilt made by Gifford nursing staff and a patient went to Martha Howe of Randolph.
Palliative care physicians Dr. Cristine Maloney and Dr. Jonna Goulding along with rider/founder and Gifford nurse Lynda McDermott all addressed the crowds, offering thanks for riders' efforts to make the hospital's dream of providing alternative therapies, special wishes and more for free for patients in the last mile of life.
"Everyone has arrived here today for unique personal reasons to unite in a larger, common cause. Many are motivated to be here to honor the loss of a loved one and to ensure that future families shepherding someone to the end of life are granted gifts or services … ," Gifford Director of Development Ashley Lincoln said.
"The enthusiasm of this crowd and the building excitement of riders garners more and more sponsors, gives me and the staff at Gifford … not only financial reserves but emotional reserves to walk alongside our friends and neighbors on some of their longest days," Lincoln continued.
Shelly Pearce knows how long those days can be. Her husband Kevin died in the Garden Room on July 4. On Saturday, Shelly Pearce offered an emotional, personal thanks to riders.
"The Last Mile Ride funds helped us as a family in numerous ways," said Pearce, describing massages for pain management, meals for the family, a gas card and a special family celebration. "So whether this is your first or your eighth time participating in the Last Mile Ride, I want you all to know what a difference you making in a patient and their family's life. Keep participating or volunteering even if it seems like a small thing, because it is very important and appreciated."
The Last Mile Ride began in 2006 when McDermott brought the idea forward to help provide comfort measures for people in life's last mile. The first ride was held in 2006, and since its number of participants, funds raised and impact have all grown.
The event now includes a 5K and cycle ride in addition to the popular motorcycle ride. And this year's event featured a Friday night "Kick-Off Rally" of dinner and dancing at the Three Stallion Inn with more than 80 community members and Last Mile participants in attendance.
The Randolph Area Chamber of Commerce made the event possible.
The Last Mile Ride was made possible by a huge group of volunteers, who were mostly Gifford employees who gave up their Saturday to support the cause, as well as volunteers from the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association, Orange County Sheriff Bill Bohnyak, the Green Mountain Bike Patrol, police support in multiple towns, and Terry Heath and Erin Bianchi of Massage Professionals of Randolph.
Significant community involvement came in the forms of people lining the event routes to show support and many, many sponsors. Among this year's sponsors were the Frankenburg Agency Inc., Froggy 100.9, Lucky's Trailer Sales, Northfield Savings Bank, Wilkins Harley-Davidson, Booth Brothers Dairy, Connor Contracting, E-Management Associates, Mascoma Savings Bank, Aubuchon Hardware, Barry T. Chouinard Inc., Dimmik Wastewater Service, Gillespie Fuels and Propane, Infinitt North America, K&R Rentals and Storage, Kleen Inc., Magee Office Products, MetLife, Rain or Shine Tent and Events Company, Schiring Radiographic Imaging, Superior Development and many others.
Next year's Last Mile Ride will be Aug. 16, or the third Saturday in August.

4.4-2 Guardianship
New February 3,
The plaintiff claims that
the defendant is liable under the contract because, even though the defendant
was a minor when the contract was entered into, the defendant's guardian, <name>,
entered into the contract on (his/her) behalf. A guardianship is a relationship
established by law in which one person, called a "guardian," acts for another,
called a "ward," in this case the defendant, whom the law regards as incapable
of managing his/her own affairs.
A guardian does not have
the power to bind the ward to any contract unless the contract has been approved
by the Probate Court. Thus, for the defendant to be liable, the plaintiff must
prove that: (1) <name of guardian> was, at the time of the contract, appointed
by the Probate Court as the defendant's guardian; and (2) the Probate Court
approved of the guardian entering into the contract in dispute.
General Statutes § 52-570a

I've just returned back to work after a week of camping with my family. It is a family tradition to go "rough it" every summer for a week and it is always a grand time! We fish, eat, talk, sit around the campfire, eat more, and just enjoy the great outdoors and the company of family members that we don't see often enough. Despite the heat and some pop up thunderstorms, we all came out fairly unscathed besides some sunburns and bug bites. (Injuries have been known to happen, it is "rough" out there)
This year was especially notable for me because it will likely be one of the last, if not the last camping trip I get to take with everyone as I will be going away to college next year. I hope to still come home in the summers and have the opportunity to go on the traditional trip, but it will probably more of a struggle to work into my schedule with school and work. So, I am trying to savor these trips and time with my family which I have long took for granted. It really has just recently hit me how I am basically an adult and will soon be moving out and going to college, paying taxes, and grocery shopping for myself. I'm excited for all of this, but also a bit nervous! Surely if I can survive some very rustic camping for a week, I can survive that though!�
Besides camping I have also just acquired a job at Burger King! It's not nearly as cool as being an intern at a newspaper, but it will pay me and fill some of my free time up on weekends. My friends always seem to be at work, so I am often alone and bored, though I'm quite good at finding something to do on my own. Two of my friends, including one of my best friends, work there also, so it will be enjoyable to a degree and we can carpool! My first day is Friday and I'm quite excited!
I took many pictures while camping and will upload them soon for your enjoyment! Until then!

Share your experiences with the SLO GranFondo 2012 below Back to event details page.
Well organized, fantastic volunteers, friendly pro riders, excellent traffic control, beautiful coastal scenery and a nice variety of food at well placed stops. Proceeds go to local charities.
while the organizers of the race had no way of controlling the nasty headwind that plagued us for the last 50 miles, they could definitely have thrown some carbs into the snack mix. the fruit was delicious, but you can only eat so much fiber in 100 miles...what happened to the lunch sandwiches from previous years? and bagels at the start? i feel a bit shafted. (all the bread was gone from the peanut butter "lunch" stop by the time i got there.) that being said, the volunteers were GREAT - super positive and supportive - and the riders seemed to be having fun. and now my *** is sore. thanks, SLO GranFondo!
Well organized, great sag stops, headwind for the final 50 miles!!!! Awesome!!!! Great ride and tougher than it looks on profile.
Not as good as last year. The water stations had less food. The price was too much for what you got. No t-shirt, no timing chip, no finishers medal. The route around the military base was not well marked and you had no idea where you were going. If I hadn't done it the year before, I would have gotten completely lost.
Needs improvement. First of all, never got the e-mail mentioning that registration was at Art's Cyclery so a few of us had to scramble to find it. Also, signs on the 100-mile course were not clearly marked. Some of us got lost in the last 10 miles. Finally, food and drinks closed too early in the afternoon.
Agree with other reviewers that food was really sparse and left me wishing I had carried my own. Got lost because course wasn't marked well around Cuesta or military base. Ride involved lots of cars. Missed water stop at 75 mile point (not sure where it was) but really appreciated the lady at 95 mile point who ran the best stop (bike hanger instead of side of the road for bikes). Nice people who volunteered. Wish the course involved less cars, but should be better marked at the end and have better fuel at the stops.
This ride was pretty well-organized -- I loved the mass start and police escort on the way out of town in the morning! I agree that some of the course markings could have been better, particularly towards the end when turning towards Quintana Road after coming off Highway 1, and through the military base -- if I hadn't been with a couple of SLO locals, I would have gotten lost. The volunteers were fabulous - really enthusiastic, especially towards the end.
I didn't have any issues with the food, but I do wish they could have kept the expo at the finish open past 3:00 pm. Most of the riders were doing the century course, and expecting everyone to be able to finish in less than 7.5 hours isn't necessarily reasonable, especially in cold, wet and windy conditions. I rode quite quickly (by my standards, at least), with my fastest century time ever, but still rolled in just a few minutes before 3:00 pm -- just in time to watch everything shut down.
Still, all in all a great ride!
I have done a bunch of centuries and volunteered at several. This was not a very good event.
First, the volunteers were wonderful and I thank them. However the rest stops were poorly stocked and some were even out of water! Boring fare for a 100 mile ride.
The course was missmarked (unmarked) around Cuesta College and a group of riders, myself included, had to wander around until we found our way out of the base/campus. Part of the problem is that the directions on the map/GPS link from the event website were wrong. (Last year's course maybe?)
Finally, and this is inexcusable in my book, is that there is an expectation that at the end of a century you will have a chance to celebrate with your fellow riders and enjoy a hard day's work. I am a middle of the pack rider and when I rolled into the finish everything was being packed up. Other than the guys in uniform there appeared to be no one from the ride organization around and there certainly wasn't any celebration. If the event was geared for the short distance riders that should have been made clear at the outset and we wouldn't have expected anything at the end of the ride.
Some of the riders I rolled in with said the event was MUCH better last year so maybe this is a fluke but I seriously doubt I'll ride this event again or recommend it to my club.
I have ridden this event every year and was really disappointed by this years event. No timing chips and no food at the end of the ride. This was a century not a GranFondo. Great route and fantastic scenery, however the event has really lost a lot from the previous years.
While I have no other century rides to compare this to since this was the first century I've done, I was not impressed. Pretty much repeating what everyone else has stated: (1) route was not well-marked at some points, (2) water stops did not have a great selection of food and one even ran out of water, (3) I finished after 3pm (thanks headwind!) and aside from the cheers from the awesome volunteers there was nothing for me at the end (no food/water). However, I will say that there was great scenery and great volunteers to help us along. I would not do this ride again.
This was my first century and I rode with a 15 year veteran of the sport who said this was the best century ride he has ever done. I am new into the sport within the past few months and completed the 100 mile ride in under 6 hours, which was my goal. A few concerns and it seems to be the norm from the reviews above: 1. Did anyone know of the newly and poorly paved highway road that absolute tore me and my bike to pieces? 2. The 75 mile rest stop was looking great as I had been completely out of water since mile 65 fighting the headwind. The young kid at the corner asked if I was a century rider and I said yes, he stated to continue forward and there will be snacks ahead. There was no stop ahead and it was actually 200 feet behind him. I had to stop at the am/pm to refill water. 3. The course was incorrectly marked at Quintana Road pointing right instead of straight across from the bike path as well as not marked at Georgia Avenue and a resident said "all the riders went left" or I would have been beyond lost. 4. Lastly, when I finished, I asked a volunteer if there was any water around and she stated "no, only for sale now" which seemed odd that not even a cooler was available. Overall - great snacks, I thought, and goodies at all stops, course was marked well except for the turns mentioned above, and I had a blast riding with such a great group and had a very successful trip! See you next year!
My husband and I were amazed at how poorly marked the route was, there were quite a few places where we had no idea where to go, in the end we had fun and so much of it was done really well but that caused us quite a bit of anxiety during the race as there were many times we could not see anyone to follow and the markings just weren't there
Heard from one of the event folks that the timing chip company went bankrupt on the Friday before the ride and that the police had been called away from two intersections in Morro Bay. The route did need more arrows and there appears to be some logistics issues that need to be resolved going forward.
Not as great a ride as I had been hoping for, both in terms of organization and route. Done a bunch of centuries ... finished around 1:30 and felt pretty good. Didn't mind the headwind but the debris along most of the route was bothersome ... saw a lot more flats than I normally do. That stretch up to Hearst Castle, the newly paved bit that has yet to be smoothed over, practically stripped my tires. And yeah, the food selection left a lot to be desired. A friend got a flat early on and was hoping to access a floor pump at the stop after the first climb but they didn't have one. I thought that was pretty thoughtless. That each stop have one should be sort of a given. Still, volunteers were friendly and traffic controls were helpful. Only wrong turn was at Cuesta College ... someone did say look out for the speed bumps and when I saw those I figured I must be going the right way. Friends and I skipped the food at the finish ... we figured if you have to pay, you might as well eat somewhere else. And the great thing about centuries is that it's the one time you've got license to eat anything. I downed a basket of onion rings, a briskett sandwhich and a pitcher of beer. Man, it was good. Though I don't think I'd do the ride again, I never regret rides and always savor the memories. Plus, great charity.

Planning commission considers amendments to wholesale fuel storage ordinance
Published: Sunday, March 10, 2013 at 4:33 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 10, 2013 at 4:33 p.m.
Spartanburg County Planning and Development Commission is working to amend regulations on wholesale fuel storage.
Amending wholesale fuel storage
Among other things, the proposed ordinance amendment requires:
A height limit of 35 feet for above ground storage tanks, or 65 feet within an existing fuel storage facility or within 1,000 feet of pipeline.
Setbacks for fuel tanks of 200 feet from a property line, 1,000 feet from residences or gathering places and 500 feet from a well. Inside an existing facility that drops to 100 feet from a property line and 500 feet from a residence. If the tank is located on property adjacent to a bulk storage facility, the property line setback is only 50 feet.
The current Unified Land Management Ordinance only recognizes bulk storage of "petroleum products" and does not account for the increased use of ethanol and other fuels and technologies growing in popularity. The amendment increases safety precautions and setback requirements for new or expanded storage facilities.
"It's a fairly complicated and comprehensive change we're trying to make here," planning director Bob Harkrader said.
Commissioners discussed the proposed amendment at a Tuesday afternoon meeting, but took no action after members raised several concerns about language and wording.
The commission's goal is to create an ordinance that is complete and easy to understand, said chairman Whit Kennedy.
"This is the first time we looked at it," Kennedy said. "We might look at it three or four times before we get it the way we want it."
Two important pipelines — the Colonial Pipeline and the Plantation Pipeline — run through Spartanburg County. The Colonial Pipeline runs from Texas to New York and the Plantation Pipeline runs from Louisiana to Washington, D.C. Along each of the lines are storage facilities used to regulate the sale of fuel. As products come through the pipeline, they are placed in storage until the terminal owner decides to sell the product.
There is a cluster of fuel storage facilities in Camp Croft. Within the 27.5 square miles that compose the Croft Fire District, there is the capacity to store 93.5 million gallons of fuel, according to Croft Fire Chief Lewis Hayes. All of the capacity is rarely used simultaneously, and the amount of fuel stored in Croft fluctuates, but about 2.5 million gallons daily are trucked out of the area, Hayes said.
Local storage facilities became important during national disasters including Sept. 11, when the grounding of U.S. planes led to a glut of fuel, and Hurricane Katrina, when refineries were shut down and stored fuel was tapped to meet the national demand.
The ordinance amendment would grandfather in existing fuel storage facilities that are in continuous use. Any facility that is not used for more than six months would have to meet the new safety and setback requirements.
The planning commission is trying to keep fuel storage facilities clustered as much as possible and the amendment provides incentives including reduced setbacks for building tanks within or adjacent to existing storage facilities.
Having the pipeline and storage facilities is good for Spartanburg's economy because the cost of fuel is suppressed by reduced hauling expenses, Kennedy said, but the combustible fuel presents public safety concerns. Hayes' firefighters receive specialized training for fighting tank fires and have 5,000 gallons of foam fire suppressant material that mixes with water to extinguish fuel fires.
"It's a very safe system," Hayes said of pipeline fuel storage. "There are very few problems you hear about across the country. If there is a fire, usually it's from natural circumstances, like a lightening strike. It's a large fire and it takes a lot of resources, but in most cases they are put out and there's no one killed. … We hope for the best and prepare for the worst."

CONCORD -- Many students at Mt. Diablo High take classes centered on healthy living and eating. They call soda "diabetes in a bottle" because excess sugar contributes to the disease. And french fries, said student Cindy Gomez, are considered "cancer sticks."
Still, hearing this week that a diet of those sugary and fatty foods could cause them to die younger than their parents or grandparents came as quite a shock. To reach students outside the school's targeted classes that focus on health, Kaiser Permanente brought a "Weight of the Nation" program to the school earlier this week. The outreach event included a powerful documentary produced by HBO that shows how sugar and fat in foods leads to disease and other health issues that led researchers to predict today's children may not live as long as their parents.
"It was really shocking," said Isabel Torres, 18, of Bay Point. "It makes you more aware of what you're going to put in your mouth. Like, instead of lemonade, water. It's really life-altering. I don't drink soda anymore."
Figueroa was part of a youth leadership team that helped produce the Kaiser-funded event for the whole school. The students watched an excerpted portion of the documentary, along with a humorous short film starring student leaders that showed the negative effects of poor diets. They devoured sugary liquids and fat-filled foods, got a temporary buzz, then sprawled out on couches and floors, lethargic and devoid of energy.
After watching the films, all 1,300 students at the school were treated to a lunch of brown rice, low-fat chili, salad, strawberries and peaches. Several elected officials also attended the screening and lunch, where they were challenged to take actions that will encourage healthy eating and active living in the community.
"Obesity really is influencing -- in a bad way -- the health of our nation," said Marianne Balin, community benefit manager for Kaiser. The goal of this and other similar events being held in communities around the country is to reduce the weight of the nation, she said. Tom Torlakson, state superintendent of public instruction, praised the program as a model.
"This is setting the pace for 10,000 schools in California and 6.5 million students that need to do programs like this," he said.
Many students in the school's healthy cooking class are already eating more fruits and vegetables based on what they've learned from teacher Cindy Gershen, who founded the nonprofit Wellness City Challenge to educate the community about the importance of nutrition and exercise.
"Chef Cindy has made a difference in our diets, including mine," said 16-year-old Stephanie Figueroa, of Concord. "I am very happy and lucky she is here."
Teacher Pam Deane said her students understand that many foods and beverages marketed to teens are not healthy.
"Students wonder why the food industry is trying to kill them," she said.
To reach younger children, Kaiser awarded the Mt. Diablo school district a $21,559 grant to fund eight salad bars in elementary schools. The HMO also hopes to bring its "Weight of the Nation" program to Pittsburg High, Balin said.
Torres said she has more energy now that she is eating healthier foods, drinking more water and getting more exercise. She has grown to like spinach and asks her parents to buy fresh vegetables, instead of frozen foods.
Her tastes have changed so much, she said, that she no longer enjoys soda.
"Now, if I drink it," Torres said, "it tastes really sugary and gross."

Petrouchka Rasputin wrote: Yes.
Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
Let's pretend that the elimination of guns would not be so impossible as the elimination of drugs. Even if guns were criminalized and if the government managed to uphold that law (at great cost), you'd just see an increase in the number of killings by other means. As Shane said, people kill for reasons, and unless you address the reasons why they kill, they will continue to kill, even if deprived of their more "effective" weapons. You've already disagreed with the reason he gave. But if Canada does have so much less gun crime - why is that so? It isn't gun control. Doesn't that suggest to you that there might be a way to curb shootings other than with gun control?
Maybe this is an unfair analogy, but - what would you think of a doctor who treats his patients' symptoms rather than the underlying condition? That's what gun control does. You can give someone drugs to ease their pain, but their cancer will still be gradually killing them.
I'm not going to add anything else to this, however. Shane has already said everything I wish to say on the matter.
djdee2005 wrote: We make people register cars, and enforce it. Why on earth wouldn't we do the same with guns!?
djdee2005 wrote: . But goddammit, if our culture is fucked up, I want some fucking laws in place to protect fucked up people from having access to guns.
Its a band-aid, I know. But a band-aid is better than nothing.

IBM Shows Why Boring Is Sometimes Better
In 2013, it may be heresy to say this, but sometimes buy and hold really does make sense. Forget risk parity, tactical portfolio management, structured notes and all that other Wall Street marketing shtick of the moment.
Case in point – IBM.
Going into today's session, where the stock is up thanks to yet another solid earnings quarter, IBM shares have provided an annual average total return of 15.6% over the last 5 years, according to Morningstar. (For those with typical short memories, that includes the financial crisis). Over the last ten years, IBM's total return is 10.2% a year.
Consider that in a year where many companies are expected to post meager earnings growth, IBM says it expects at least an 8% increase in earnings.
Of course most individual stocks aren't IBM. It's a well-managed, diversified company. It pays a reliable dividend. Its fortunes don't depend on rolling out the latest hot product to fickle consumers.
Meanwhile, it's trading at 13.4 times what the company says it expects to earn in 2013. That means the market is pricing IBM like it's an average stock, with the S&P 500 trading at 13.77 times, according to FactSet.
So for all the hyperventilating that goes on about the difficulty of making money in these markets, sometimes is boring is better.
Shares recently rose 5.7% to $207.30, which alone added about 88 points to the price-weighted Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Computer simulation has greatly shortened the path towards the development of ultra fine water mist fire suppression technology for NanoMist Systems, LLC. NanoMist is the trade name for the proprietary process technology of producing, scaling, transporting, and delivering the ultra-fine fine water mist system.
The fire suppression chemical Halon 1301 was banned after it was identified as an ozone-depleting substance and the search for newer and safer fire suppression agents was renewed. Amongst several other clean agents, the non-ozone depleting chemical HFC-227ea is the most popular agent in use today. It has some limitations, however, because of toxic by-products which may often reach harmful levels. It also has a global warming potential. From both an environmental and toxicity point of view, ultra fine water mist is an ideal compound. It may be potential permanent solution for fire suppression technology.

Available since early 2002, Gridgens Native CAD Readers provide the ability to read geometry from
a CAD systems native files. Native access avoids translation errors that can occur when using open
standard file formats. Because native access is integrated into Gridgen, theres no plug-in that an
engineer has to execute from within the CAD system. In fact, use of the CAD system and its license
are completely unnecessary Gridgen reads the file directly. Native CAD Readers are available for
CATIA® V4, Pro/ENGINEER®, STEP, and now Unigraphics®. Based on an early trial of this
technology, engineers at Lockheed Martin in Dallas, Texas, plan to incorporate Gridgen's

VAIL, Colorado - Unfounded rumors swirling around last week's late-night Lionshead accident are making people unnecessarily afraid, Vail police said.
"The rumor side of this has people fearful and that's unfortunate. It's unfounded," said Detective Sgt. Annette Dopplick with the Vail Police Department. "Our collective efforts to create and maintain a safe and vibrant nightlife are challenged by these unfounded rumors of assault."
Police and emergency medical personnel were called to Lionshead around 1:20 a.m. Thursday when a Vail bus driver spotted a young woman lying injured near a bus stop. A large puddle of the woman's blood was on the steps around her.
Almost immediately rumors began flying around town that she had been assaulted, and that two other women had also been assaulted on the following two days. None of those rumors are true, police said.
"Her appearance is consistent with an accidental fall. There was nothing suspicious," Dopplick said. "And there have been no assaults."
Dopplick said Vail police conducted a thorough investigation into the incident and concluded there is no indication of any suspicious circumstances or assault.
Vail police said the rumors she'd been assaulted might have started when the woman's friends and co-workers learned of her injuries, insisting they could not have been caused by a fall, and therefore she must have been assaulted.
"Her injuries were sustained when she fell down some steps," Dopplick said.
The woman provided a number of statements about how she got the injuries and some of them turned out to be inconsistent, Dopplick said.
"We do not believe she had intent to mislead the police," said Vail Police Chief Dwight Henninger said. "Rather she was intoxicated and had sustained significant injury."
The rumors also asserted that two other assaults occurred over the weekend and authorities and local media were conspiring to cover it up.
Social media and word-of-mouth were used to spread inaccurate information, police said.
Addressing the rumors and misinformation has been challenging, police said.
"It has begun to spiral into rumors of an 'assault suspect on the loose,' or a 'rapist stalking the parking structures,' all of which are simply not true," Henninger said.
Dopplick said she talked to the woman Monday morning before the woman underwent surgery for her facial injuries.
"We have a great community and we hope they continue to rally around this woman," Dopplick said.

Beverly "Bobbe" Beck Butterfield McClure, 81
Published: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 4, 2012 at 3:37 p.m.

Hey all!
It's been a bit since I posted last, so I'm sorry about that. This past week was crazy and I literally had no time for the computer or anything else for that matter. I came down with a cold last week, totally out of the blue, but I ended up spending the whole week taking care of myself and subsequently my girlfriend.
Anyways, I hate that I lost a week because I was really making some progress, but it was probably for the best.
I came back on Tuesday and started back on my program to see how much I lost. Turns out, I hadn't lost much at all and in fact, I ended up feeling better this run than I have in a long time. Funny how a week off can do a world of good, eh?
Here's how the rest of the week looks in terms of training:
Today: 2 softball games (Yay! )
Tomorrow: 5 miles in the am, decent pace
Friday: 6 miles in the am, slightly slower pace
Saturday: 3 miles, just under 5k pace
Sunday: 11 miles
I don't think I've ever ran 30 miles in a week, but I'm feeling better and better about my running, so I should do fine.
Also, I'm beginning my planning phase for this upcoming track season at Wentworth. I'm beginning my first year as head coach and distance coach. I'm using this first year as a learning year, trying to pick up new ideas to use and hopefully to keep students coming back. If anyone has any ideas for training programs in sprinting, distance and field events, it would be much appreciated!!!
Till next time,

Wyatt Earp's letter (I mean, Frank Lorenti's) panning Rohn Robbins' column, as well as other pro-gun responses, has finally motivated me to express my thoughts.
Contrary to standard pro-gun rhetoric, I do not come from the "far left". I happen to own a BB gun, a 22, a shotgun and a high-powered hunting rifle. And I have no worry that they will ever be taken away from me.
I am not happy with the proliferation of handguns in our country, but I have come to accept that this is not something that will be limited. I am appalled at the belief that the answer to our murder, violent crime and safety issue is to arm everyone. That the NRA's response to this latest shooting was "the only answer to a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun" makes me shake my head in disbelief.
Since the Aurora theater shooting, I've frequently read the standard party line that should there have been armed good guys in the theater, they would have taken out the bad guy and saved lives. Good luck with that.
It is a fact that in threatening situations trained police don't even hit their target over 60 percent of the time. How accurate are all of the Wyatt Earps of the world going to be when they get the opportunity (they are waiting for) to be the hero? Not very.
Let's be reasonable and do something about automatic weapons, large capacity magazines and loopholes in the gun show and gun laws. Let's do what we can to improve mental health care. Let's study the impact of violent video games and movies. And let's try to individually contribute to a more civil society.

Shaluinn Fullove joined an impressive list when she competed in the 40th annual Los Gatos Dammit Run last summer. Fullove became one of only a handful of runners to repeat as a winner in the rugged race.
Fullove stopped the clock at 35:03 to claim her second Dammit victory. Fullove, who outran 16-year-old Jenny Xu (35:42) to the finish line in the women's division, had previously won the race back in 1997.
The overall winner last summer was Andrew Azevedo, who crossed the line in 27:51 to finish just two seconds ahead of Justin Valdez (27:53). Azevedo was no stranger to the Dammit, having finished second the year before, but 2013 marked his first ever win in the tough 5-miler.
So now the question is, will Azevedo and Fullove each be back to do it again in 2014? And if not, who will dominate the 41st Dammit Run when runners hit the trail on Aug. 9 in the race that begins at 8:30 a.m. on the Los Gatos High School track?
Should Azevedo return to defend his title, he'll be attempting to join the list of runners who are multiple Dammit winners.
Jason Balkman, a former cross country and track star at Lynbrook High School and later at Stanford, is a three-time Dammit winner (1997, '98, '05), along with Homestead cross country coach Kenrick Sealy (1995, '96, '01). Matthew Petrillo, a former Los Gatos cross country and track champ, won twice ('06, '07), along with former Leland star Richard Ho ('10, '12). Bob Tapia and Kevin Pierpoint are also two-time winners.
In women's competition, Fullove became the fourth two-time winner with her victory last August. In addition to Fullove, former Presentation star Melissa Grelli, a resident of Cupertino, is a two-time winner ('04 and '08), along with Barb Acosta and Yvonne Lund.
All of the past winners and others who are veterans of the Dammit Run can attest to the rugged nature of the 5-mile course.
The race starts tamely enough at the high school, and it will finish in the same location. But in between, runners had best be prepared for the rocky, dusty trip into the foothills and up to Lexington Reservoir. Runners will race down the trail next to the high school's lower field, past Forbe's Mill onto the Los Gatos Creek Trail and make the climb up to Lexington. Runners continue up St. Joseph's Hill (Jones Trail), loop around and head back down the hill to College Avenue, and race back to the finish line on the Los Gatos track.
All finishers will receive ribbons and the top finishers in 13 different categories for male and female runners will receive awards. Race day registration begins at 6:30 a.m.
The pre-registration entry fee is $30 ($45 with a T-shirt), and the fee is $35 on race day ($50 with a T-shirt). T-shirts alone are priced at $15 and will be sold at the track on race day and in advance in Los Gatos at Athletic Performance, 55 W. Main St.; Runner's Factory, 51 University Ave.; and Sportissimo, 786 Blossom Hill Road.
For more information, visit www.losgatosdammitrun.com. Proceeds from the Dammit Run benefit the Los Gatos High School.

"In the event a favorable decision is tendered, it may be possible to go through the courts and get a similar decision in our own situation, i.e., the Flathead Reservation," the news release concluded. Tribal officials are dismayed but not surprised at the action. Tribal feeling is that the Flathead Reservation dimi-nishment issue was answered when the Namen case was resolved late in 1982. Besides questioning jurisdiction over the bed and banks of the southern portion of Flathead Lake the Namen case asserted that the federal government intended to disestablish the Flathead Indian Reservation in the early 1900s when it was opened to non-Indian settlement A federal appeals court disagreed with the claim, and the U.S. Supreme Court in effect concurred when it refused to consider Namen Lake County is one of seven counties and two towns in four states that have officially noted interest in the outcome of Solem v. Bartlett. Commissioner Hutchin, "who handles Indian affairs for the Lake County commissioners", according to the Missoulian, took his opinion on the road Sept. 26 when he invited officials from counties within reservations to meet with him in Lewiston to discuss "the problems we face being surrounded by a reservation". Tribal officials from here and at least one other Montana reservation planned to attend the meeting, results of which (drat our three-days-before-we-hit-the-stands press deadline) will be covered in our October 15 issue.

How To Recruit Rockstar Talent? Startups Tap Investors, Networks
When the founders of eyeglass retail startup Warby Parker were courting Anjali Kumar, then senior counsel at Google, in hopes she would join their team, they got one of their investors to help close the deal.
That investor, David Lee of SV Angel, was a former Googler and part of one of the most active and plugged-in investment groups in Silicon Valley. His praise for the fast-growing startup helped convince her to leave Google, said Kumar, who started this month as general counsel and head of social innovation at New York-based Warby Parker.
"It was super helpful to talk to an early investor," Kumar said, adding that Lee was someone who had invested in a lot of companies and "had a stake in [Warby Parker's] future."
He "validated what I already strongly suspected," she said.
While venture investors often refer good candidates to their portfolio companies to aid in the recruiting process, there's a better way venture capitalists can help draw top talent–talk to star candidates and help convince them why they should join a young venture, said Warby Parker co-founder Dave Gilboa, who spoke at The Wall Street Journal Tech Cafe event held in New York this week.
During the panel discussion at WSJ Tech Cafe, three startup founders, as well as Facebook's Serkan Piantino, brought up those and other methods of how they get their hands on the best talent in a highly competitive environment in the tech sector.
Aaron Schildkrout, co-founder of online dating startup HowAboutWe, said that he has been encouraging his employees to become speakers at events and "thought leaders" on the subject of their expertise. When more members of his team "started giving talks, publishing, we were able to attract significantly more talent," Schildkrout said.
He added that often the very people who turned out to be very good at sharing their expertise didn't realize they had the capacity to do so in public and needed the nudge from management.
Gilboa seconded the approach of having existing employees play a larger role in spreading the company's message to attract new talent. Warby Parker is creating a tech blog, where the company's tech team is creating content, he said.
The panelists said it's important to remind employees to tap into their networks to get referrals. Piantino, site director of Facebook's New York office, said the company hosts "ninja hunts," in which it asks employees to think about all their friends to see if some of them would be great engineers for Facebook.
Gilboa said Warby Parker holds periodic "recruit-a-thons" where employees look at open positions and suggest candidates.
LinkedIn is another useful tool for recruiting talent, Schildkrout said. "I spend a lot of time on LinkedIn doing very advanced searches and contacting people, though ideally not through LinkedIn," he said.
He found it's best to find a personal introduction to the candidate, based on "information ascertained through LinkedIn."
As three of the panelists were non-technical founders, they addressed how they search for technical talent. Katia Beauchamp, co-founder of e-commerce company Birchbox, said that she convinced a great candidate to consult for her startup and after two months of selling the candidate on the vision for the company, as well as explaining the technical challenges, the consultant joined as chief technology officer.
Warby Parker, meanwhile, had the chief technical officer of well-known tech company Palantir help interview top engineer candidates, Gilboa said.

This week I launched the new "Are You Lost in Suburbia?" community over on my sister site, Lost in Suburbia stories. �I invited women to share THEIR stories about being lost in motherhood and how they found or are finding their way to the other side. �Every week, I'm selecting one story to be featured here on the main blog. Today I'm sharing a post by Tracey Maron-Anthony who writes about becoming an Accidental Mother. Tracey wins a signed copy of my book, "Lost in Suburbia: A Momoir: �How I Got Pregnant, Lost Myself, and Got My Cool Back in the New Jersey Suburbs," and a gift basket from CVS Pharmacy ExtraCare Pharmacy and Health Rewards which lets you earn $5 ExtraBucks��Rewards every time you fill 10 prescriptions. � Here is Tracey's post!�
* � � �* � � �*
I am an accidental mother. I never expected to have children. Don�t get me wrong. I like children. I like cats and dogs too. They�re fun to pet and snuggle with, but so much better when they belong to someone else.
My husband went into the marriage thinking he would like kids, but (by plying him with romantic vacations and football filled Sundays) I managed to convince him that being an uncle was a better choice. We loved being DINKS, and laughed when our friends told us that we were �Missing out.�
And then I had my accident. No, not an �oops� accident, an actual, turning my sedan into a compact car accident. I was taken to the the hospital in a neck brace, and my car was towed to the scrapyard�along with my birth control pills. I didn�t worry. I remembered my friend�s struggle and her doctor�s explanation that �If you�ve been on birth control for years, it�s hard to get pregnant.�
She needs a new doctor.
My friends assured me that pregnancy would be easy, and that parenthood was the most amazing thing they�d ever done.
I need new friends.
Pregnancy was rough, and not just physically (the smell of meat cooking could chase me from the house), and emotionally (even Budweiser Clydesdales can bring a woman to tears, especially when she�s craving a beer). There were just too many damn choices to be made. Who do you tell first? (Note � men get pissy when they find out via social media) What do you name the baby? (I wanted to name my boy either Justin Case or Justin Time � my friends were relieved when I had a girl). How do you decorate the nursery? What type of crib?carseat/stroller/diapers? How do you have the baby? Yes, this is a choice. You can have a doctor and a C-section, or a midwife and a birthing room � you can even have a baby in a bathtub! After hearing labor horror stories from (I assume) well-meaning family, friends and strangers, I decided not to have the baby. At 9 months, it wasn�t really an option, but that�s what I decided (Side note to mathematicians � in what type of math does 40 weeks equal 9 months?).
To be honest, the many choices and sleep deprivation that came with pregnancy helped prepare me for motherhood. My friends lied about pregnancy being easy, but they were right about parenthood being amazing. As strange as it sounds, my husband and I will be eternally grateful for my car accident, and the little girl who stole our hearts and changed our lives.
Of course, parenthood is also work, and work is a four letter word.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Competing interests between loved ones will shift. Expect social harmony, romantic attraction and a return to shared priorities.

With the piercing sound of a smoke alarm filling the room, Alli Wilson rolls out of bed and crawls to the door. Using the back of her hand, she feels the door for heat. It's warm. That means fire is likely on the other side of that door. Opening it could be dangerous.
Thank goodness, though, the fire isn't real. The exercise is just a part of Campbellsville Fire Department's fire prevention program.
