Nicole Culwell, of Howell, was heading to St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor Hospital on Monday with her husband, Matthew, when she realized she wouldn't make it in time. So her husband pulled over along U.S. 23 in the Ann Arbor area, and Susannah was born, AnnArbor.com reported.
"He was great and stayed calm about it," Nicole Culwell said of her husband. "I don't even really remember her being born. I just remember holding her after and patting her back to make sure she was breathing."
The Culwells were about 10 minutes from the hospital when they stopped, and a 911 dispatcher talked them through the delivery.
"You can see the baby's head coming out," Matthew Culwell tells dispatcher Carol Lellis at the beginning of the call, a recording of which was obtained by The Associated Press.
Later, he says: "Oh my God. The baby's out. The baby's out," before asking Lellis: "What do I do?"
Matthew Culwell said it was a "huge relief" to hear the cries of his new daughter along the roadside. Help soon showed up, and a firefighter cut the umbilical cord before Nicole Culwell and the baby were transported to the hospital with her husband driving behind them.
"It's not often that you get to see your name as the person who made the delivery on your daughter's birth certificate," Matthew Culwell said.
Lellis told WDIV-TV that hearing the cry was a relief to her as well, because that assured her the baby would be OK. She said she was honored to be part of the couple's big day, and she wanted to wish the new parents good luck ahead.
Nicole Culwell said she was in denial earlier Monday about being so close to having her baby, because her due date was July 14. She said she went into labor around 5 a.m., and by 9:30 a.m. the couple decided to begin the roughly 40-minute drive to the hospital.
"I just kept thinking 'No, this can't happen,'" Nicole Culwell said.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Catherine Lu (702) 486-6982 / 334-7953 email@example.com (Carson City, NV; October 2, 2012) – Increased financial disclosure, greater restrictions on contributions and gifts, and tougher penalties for campaign violations are the common goals of a Bill Draft Resolution (BDR) unveiled this week by Secretary of State Ross Miller. The BDR includes language that would mandate near real time reporting of large dollar campaign contributions and expenses, further define the prohibition on personal use of campaign funds and significantly restrict the ability of candidates and public officials to receive "gifts" from donors who may pose a conflict of interest. The proposed legislation also includes provisions to allow the Secretary of State's office to seek injunctive relief to order individuals or groups to file campaign finance reports, and substantially increased penalties for violations. Miller's campaign reform passed in the 2011 legislative session (AB 81, AB 82, & AB 452) was the most comprehensive set of campaign reforms in Nevada history. "We've made progress in increasing transparency and accountability in recent sessions, but we can clearly do more and do better," he said. "I believe that we will have an initial coalition of lawmakers that can make this happen. If we want meaningful reform to occur, we need to call on all candidates and elected officials to support the 'Aurora Act.' We've all heard the lip service to this issue, but I believe that with the public's help, we can get enough support from both sides of the aisle to bring much needed sunshine to this state." Initial support for Miller's "Aurora Act" has been expressed by Assemblymen Marcus Conklin (D- Dist. 37) and Pat Hickey (R- Dist. 25), and by former State Senator Sheila Leslie (current candidate for Senate District 15). Senator Leslie said, "This is an opportunity for lawmakers to step up and give our constituents the information they need to make informed decisions, and to develop a greater level of trust between the people and their public servants." Republican Assemblyman Pat Hickey has also expressed his interest in the legislation saying, "While there may be more or less added to Secretary Miller's proposals, there should be widespread bi-partisan support for cleaning up campaigns and the conduct of candidates at all levels." Democratic Assemblyman Marcus Conklin said the bills could set an important tone for the legislature. "We want to come away with an increased transparency, and in doing so demonstrate to Nevadans that their lawmakers can work in a bipartisan manner to effect meaningful change." Miller's Bill Draft Request includes:
The bills will be heard by the 77th Session of the Nevada State Legislature which will commence on February 4, 2013. The complete Bill Draft Request is available online by clicking here.

Charlotte County deputy fatally shot responding to call
Published: Wednesday, August 7, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 6, 2013 at 4:02 p.m.
CHARLOTTE COUNTY - The first Charlotte County sheriff's deputy to be shot and killed in the line of duty was "immediately met with gunfire" from a man known as a marksman while responding to a domestic disturbance call, officials said.
The Charlotte County Sheriff's Office said trusts are being set up for the family for the family of Sgt. Michael Wilson, who was shot and killed while responding to an emergency call Monday night. To facilitate donations, the Sheriff's Office has set up a Paypal account that can be accessed from the Sheriff's Office main public website at through this hyperlink.
Or the account can be found HERE.
Facebook page: Remembering Charlotte County Sgt. Michael Wilson.
Sgt. Michael Wilson, 42, a 22-year veteran of the sheriff's office and father of three young children, was fatally shot Monday night at the Lakes of Tuscana Apartments in Port Charlotte.
Wilson, the first officer to arrive in response to the emergency call, was shot in the stairwell of the complex about 8:30 p.m, Charlotte County Sheriff Bill Prummell said during an emotional news conference Tuesday.
He was able to call for assistance after being hit but Wilson was later pronounced dead at the hospital. Authorities said the shooter, 49-year-old Jay Vanko, later killed himself.
"Wilson took one shot to the chest," Prummell said. "The suspect shot down the stairwell and was able to shoot one exposed spot not covered by his vest."
The sheriff described the stairwell as a "fatal funnel."
Deputies had been to the scene before on domestic calls but not for anything violent.
The unidentified emergency caller indicated that there were weapons in the residence, but said they were locked in a safe. There were no indications that weapons were involved in the disturbance that was described as physical, or that the suspect was armed.
Little is known about Vanko. He had no criminal record that sheriff's investigators could find. He ran a lawn care company in Port Charlotte, and declared bankruptcy in 2011.
Prummell said Vanko participated in shooting competitions. Vanko's wife was in the apartment at the time of the shooting and his son was outside.
Investigators found two weapons in the apartment and are still trying to determine which was used on Wilson. Prummell would not elaborate on the type of weapons found.
The sheriff said he notified Wilson's wife, Joanne, of the shooting.
"It was the most difficult thing I ever had to do," Prummell said. "I don't wish it upon anybody."
Wilson leaves behind three school-age children: Emily, Tyler and Brandon.
Wilson, who Prummell said started his law-enforcement job about the same time as the sheriff, worked in the jail, road patrol, narcotics street crimes and as a school resource officer.
Sarasota County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Wendy Rose said the agency's SWAT team sent some personnel and its "BearCat" armored protection vehicle. A tactical robot was used to help search for the suspect, she said.
Sarasota County Sheriff Tom Knight said Wilson's death touches everyone in law enforcement.
"At times like this words honestly seem inadequate," Knight said. "The work we perform each day is inherently dangerous and deputies never know what they are going to find when going to work each day or responding to a call. Today we are dealing with that horrendous reality."
The flag outside the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office was at half staff Tuesday. The deputies inside wore black mourning bands across their badges.
The viewing for Wilson is scheduled from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday at the Charlotte Harbor Event Center, 75 Taylor St. in Punta Gorda.
The funeral will be held Saturday at 10 a.m. at the Event Center.
The only other line-of-duty death in the county's 92-year history occurred in April 1983, when Deputy Curtis Moore, a motorcycle officer, died as a result of injuries sustained in an on-duty traffic crash.

EDWARDS - Turnabout is fair play.
Battle Mountain girls lacrosse took a thumping in its opener against Aspen, 15-4 Monday. Yet, it is better to give than to receive.
The Huskies did just that Thursday afternoon, beating Eagle Valley, 18-3, in Edwards
"We turned the tables," Huskies coach Emily Jaissle said. "They came back with a lot of enthusiasm. We had six different girls scoring. We have a lot of freshman and our upperclassman are bringing them along."
Battle Mountain's Mabry Gentry had a pretty spectacular day with six goals in two assists. Maddi Conlin had four goals. Amie Hixon had a goal, two assists and eight groundballs as a midfielder, which is new for her. She played goalie last year for the Huskies.
Speaking of goalie, Battle Mountain freshman Sienna Miller had seven saves.
Battle Mountain is at Dakota Ridge Saturday, while Eagle Valley hosts Grand Junction Tuesday in Gypsum at 4 p.m.

Monday August 20, 2012
Augusta, Ga--The Josey football program has been a work in progress the last few years. This season, the progress may pay off in a few more wins, at least that's the mindset and the attitude around the Eagles
While they lost a number of playmakers, they do bring back Juwon Tolbert, who coach John Noah calls a special athlete. He'll be taking snaps on a team that's seen a bump in numbers. With the new class they're in, the pieces could fall in to place just right for Josey.
"I mean it's going to be a big deal for us" said coach John Noah "In 2-A ball everybody's going to have 40-50 kids and everybody is going to have kids going both ways and that's going to help us out a whole lot."
"We're coming together around here and it's a change, like all the bad habits are going away, like everybody is coming to be positive" added junior Juwan Tolbert
Eagles have a little beef up front which could open up some holes for this squad to score some points. This will also be coach Noah's last year at the helm. He'll be turning over the reigns to Ralielgh Roundtree after the season.

- About Plattsburgh
Plattsburgh annually enrolls about 850 transfer students (along with about 950 freshmen). Of the transfer students, approximately 650 will enroll for the fall semester and 200 for the spring semester.
SUNY Plattsburgh recommends that students applying for the fall semester apply by March 1. Students applying for the spring semester should apply by November 1.
Transfer applicants have two options to apply for admission - the Common Application and the SUNY Application. The Admissions Committee does not give preference to either application. Learn more about applying for admission to SUNY Plattsburgh.
Your official transcript(s) should be forwarded directly to:
SUNY Plattsburgh
101 Broad Street
Plattsburgh, NY 12901
Admissions decisions are based on your completed application and official transcript(s). For the fall semester, acceptance packets are mailed on January 15 and continue on a rolling basis until we close admission (usually mid-summer). For the spring semester, acceptance packets are mailed beginning November 1 and continue on a rolling basis until admission closes in January.
Interviews are not required for admission, but they are strongly encouraged. A visit is one of the best ways to learn about the opportunities available at SUNY Plattsburgh. Often, transfer students have questions about their credit evaluation and their majors. Some students also schedule visits with the chairpersons of their academic departments.
A minimum GPA of 2.30 is recommended for admission to most of SUNY Plattsburgh's academic programs. However, some programs require a higher GPA, such as the following:
2.75 GPA - Combined BA/MST Adolescence Education Programs, Combined BS/MSED Childhood/Special Education Program, and Childhood Education
2.50 GPA - Communication Disorders and Sciences, Nursing (RN-to-BS online option), Nutrition, Social Work, and Fitness & Wellness Leadership
Please note: Admission to the Nursing program is competitive and priority is given to applicants with the highest GPA, the most number of prerequisites completed, and related experience.
SUNY Plattsburgh does not require a minimum number of credits to be considered for admission. However, to be based on the merits of your college coursework alone, you must have competed approximately 24-30 credits at the time of admission. Students who apply with fewer than 24 credits completed will need to submit high school transcripts and SAT/ACT scores.
If you are transferring from an accredited college, you should not have trouble transferring your college credits. However, we do not transfer credit from technical subjects, like automotive repair, construction technology, or secretarial courses. Once a transfer course is accepted, the course is placed based upon its content, its level, and if it has the appropriate prerequisites. Credit evaluations are completed during the admissions process.
Learn more about transferring credits.
Plattsburgh will accept 67 credits from a two-year college and 84 credits from a four-year college.
If you are accepted to SUNY Plattsburgh, you will receive a preliminary credit evaluation shortly after receiving your acceptance packet. In addition, you may request a credit evaluation at any time after you are accepted. Please contact the Admissions Office toll-free at (888) 673-0012 to request the official credit evaluation prior to paying your admissions deposit.
SUNY Plattsburgh guarantees that new transfer students who wish to go full-time will be able to do so with courses that are applicable towards their degree requirements. Once we know that you plan to enroll as a transfer (usually by the receipt of your admissions deposit), you will be forwarded instructions on how to register for courses.
SUNY Plattsburgh transfer scholarships are available to students who are transferring from a regionally accredited college or university and have completed a minimum of 24 credits at the time the application is submitted. For more information, please visit our scholarship calculator.(Return to top of page)
As long as you complete the online housing application by the recommended deadline for the fall and the spring, then on-campus housing is generally available for transfer students. While housing is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, we have plenty of dorm room available to accommodate our students, and no preferential treatment is given to freshmen over transfer students. If you do have preferences for your housing situation, we recommend that you apply for housing early.
No, we do not have residence halls specifically for transfer students. Instead, transfer students are generally placed with another transfer student or a current SUNY Plattsburgh student of sophomore-level or higher standing. We do not generally place transfer students in freshman housing.
If you still have questions, please feel free to browse our directory of Frequently Asked Questions about SUNY Plattsburgh.
The Admissions Office is located on the 10th floor of the Kehoe Building.

In Buddhism we have different images and symbols. One of my favorites is Kannon, the image of compassion. Kannon can be a male or a female. There are different physical images of Kannon, but one shows Kannon with many, many arms. Why does Kannon have so many arms? I believe it is because Kannon took the the vos to make peace among all sentient beings she was so overwhelmed by the enormity of what that meant that she burst apart into millions of pieces. But the energy of that same vow brought all those pieces back in the shape of a million arms. Each arm holds something different. One arm holds a watch, one holds glasses, one arm bears a pen, one a hoe, one arm a Christmas bag, one a condom. Each arm has something different for the proper occasion.
Each of is an arm of Kannon, enabling Kannon to do her work. Like her, we're also overwhelmed, but when we reallize that the millions of pieces are all operating as one, then there's no problem. The reason we get overwhelmed is that we're attached to a certain result or taht we want to achieve a certain result or that we to achieve a certain goal. If we weren't attached we wouldn't be overwhelmed. It's endless. And we just take one step after the next

This story exists purely because I was hypothesizing about how Crowley's downstairs neighbor perceives him. From there, I got to thinking about London as they inhabit it—the neighborhoods in which they live, the locations they've made their regular haunts. Who watches them, I wonder, and what do they see in looking? I've broken this piece down into five different locations, one outside perspective for each.
You can't live somewhere or frequent a place for any length of time without others taking notice. In fact, you may not even notice
Harriet turns down the telly for a few seconds, straining to listen. She knows the sound of those footsteps by heart, partly because the young man who makes them has been living in the flat upstairs for about ten years now. The reason she really remembers them, however, is something she couldn't put her finger on for a very long while, but eventually figured out, and she's proud of that fact. He has the lightest, quickest footfalls she's ever heard: soft and smooth, as if he's scarcely touching the ground. She's seen him a goodly number of times, too. He's usually dressed in fine shirts, dark trousers, and a nice jacket, but can't hide the fact that he's all angles, really quite thin. In spite of that, his movements are graceful—swift, serpentine.
When they're getting home at the same time, which isn't often, he always holds the door for her, wearing a sheepish smile. He's handsome, Harriet supposes, in a starved-James-Dean kind of way, although she still doesn't know what color his eyes are because he's forever wearing an expensive pair of black sunglasses. She knows they're expensive because her son used to wear an identical pair. He was wearing them when he died at the wheel of his beloved sports car twenty years ago.
Harriet asked his name once, about six months ago, when she helped him up the stairs with an armful of pot-plants. He'd paused for a few seconds, fumbling his key into the lock, as if he wasn't accustomed to using it. "Anthony," he'd finally said, hastily scooping up the pots. "Pleased to meet you," he'd added, using his back to brace the door open behind him as he retreated into the flat, "and thanksss."
The lisp was sort of a shame, Harriet thought. She wouldn't talk much, either, if she had a speech impediment. It didn't detract from his looks, though, not a bit.
Harriet might have worried for Anthony, taken him for one of those lonely, depressed corporate sorts prone to eventual suicide, but he seemed to have something resembling a social life. About a year after he moved in, he started bringing somebody home every other week or so. In truth, he wasn't at home all that much; Harriet couldn't help but wonder if he spend most of his daylight hours (and his nighttime hours, too, several times a week) wherever his guest lived. She knew it was always the same person because the footsteps that accompanied Anthony's up the stairs were always the same: deliberate, laden with consideration.
There's no way it could have been a lady-friend, not with footfalls like that.
Today, it's the same set of accompanying feet. What's unusual is, this is the third time in a week, and they seem to be coming and going together. She's never seen Anthony's mystery guest, though she's heard their voices drifting down through the ceiling at odd hours, quite faint, engaged in animated conversation. She knows that they drink quite a lot of wine, because Anthony's recycling bin is always full to the brim with glass bottles, which are always washed with the labels carefully removed. It's a pity, that, as she'd really like to know what they're drinking. Anthony has good taste, just like her son. Some of the bottles look even older than she is.
Harriet switches off the telly, listening as the door upstairs opens and the two sets of footsteps cross the threshold and proceed to make their slow way across her ceiling. She supposes she knows what's happening, in an abstract sort of way. She's heard about people like this, of course—in the newspapers, magazines, sitcoms, everywhere. As a believing Catholic, she's not sure it's right, but what she
sure of is that anything keeping that nice young man from an untimely death can't be
Gavin uses the alley behind the bookshop because it's safe, convenient, and the bookshop is hardly ever open.
. It's inhabited, anyway, as he can see lights in either the flat above it or through the back-room window on most nights. An older chap owns the place. Glasses, greying fly-away blond hair. Gavin's only caught him coming in the back door once or twice, always mumbles a hello or a good evening and makes sure to keep his arms covered. The gent always smiles politely, returns the greeting, and goes in. Never says anything more.
Anybody else would have reported him, even here. People don't seem to remember what it means to mind their own fucking business. On nights when he's careless, too high to think of anything except how good it feels, he leaves sharps behind, but they're always gone when he returns. Somebody else could be taking them, he supposes, using them, which is really fucking stupid, not even
does that, but still. He doubts it. He thinks the bookshop owner disposes of them. Bless the bastard.
Gavin got a right scare the first time the guy called Crowley came knocking 'round the back. He had been just blasted enough that, with those dark glasses and his furtive demeanor, the guy looked like he might have been hired by somebody to whom he owed a considerable amount of money. Instead, the guy had slid his sunglasses down the bridge of his nose, just a little, blinked (it was the light from the upstairs window, that or the smack, that made his eyes glitter like Carter's first glimpse into Tut's tomb), and said, "Who're you? A customer? He's not open."
"I'm nobody," Gavin had said, defensively, still a bit creeped out. "Who're
"Crowley. Listen, is anybody home in there? You seem like you might know."
"Light's on upstairs," Gavin had said, shrugging. "'Course he's not open."
Crowley had snorted, half smiling. "Tell him I called."
Of course, Gavin didn't remember much after that and woke up on that very spot the next morning with a pounding headache and an old tartan blanket draped over him. He almost knocked over a half-cold cup of tea that was sat at his elbow in the dust.
That had been at least a couple of years ago. He knows now that Crowley normally uses the front door and he and the bookshop owner spend long hours drinking and arguing about really daft shit. Or at least it
like arguing. It might just be healthy debate. Gavin can't tell if they're lovers or enemies. Whatever they are, there's genuine affection involved, and it gives him the warm-fuzzies.
He's the only junkie in Soho with a pair of guardian angels. He hopes they'll stay.
The Ritz
Lapsang Souchong and Earl Grey are back. Rashid has been the one fielding that weekly, sometimes
- or
-weekly order, since at least '87. They usually order their tea and their food separately, never opting for one of the Afternoon Tea options. Just as well, Rashid thinks: those are kind of a rip-off, and they'd get boring if you were dining in the Palm Court several times a week—which these gents frequently did.
What's unusual to start is that neither one takes milk with his tea, at least not when ordering his usual. Sometimes, Lapsang Souchong becomes Darjeeling and Earl Grey becomes Rose Congou. It's the opposite of what Rashid would have expected, but then, the opposites-factor is what makes these two regulars so interesting.
There's their looks, for starters. Rashid likes to imagine the slightly older-looking gentleman is a retired lecturer from one of London's many universities, or perhaps a senior curator at the British Museum, and that the younger one is a celebrity in disguise. He knows the younger one's name is Anthony J. Crowley. It's usually his credit card they use to charge their indulgences. When they're in the mood for wine, Lapsang Souchong becomes a well-aged French red, whatever they have in at the moment, and Earl Grey becomes a dry, tangy German white. Beaujolais and Riesling.
If Rashid wanted, he could probably find out what Lapsang Souchong's name is. He's served them often enough. Even though he knows Crowley's name, he still prefers to think of the twitchy young man as Earl Grey. He's never seen what's behind the sunglasses, but it's been an item of burning curiosity amongst the staff for years.
Today, Sunday, there's a sense of rightness and quiet. Outside, he hears birdsong that reminds him of home. Rashid drops sugar cubes in each tiny glass bowl—refined white for Lapsang Souchong, demerara for Earl Grey—and readies the tea tray for delivery.
Ruth doesn't mind the competition turning up on her doorstep. On the contrary, she quite anticipates it, because Mr. Fell never pays her a visit unless he intends to buy. She's been meaning to visit his shop in Soho for years, but she can't seem to work up the nerve. She's heard he keeps odd hours, and it's not the sort of place she'd like to go after dusk. So, she lets Mr. Fell come to her.
She took over the shop when her husband passed on. They'd had no children—never wanted any—and their marriage had been long and happy. Ruth thinks of the shop as her husband's legacy, shelves full of letters and stories he's telling her from wherever he's gone, some of which she'll never get to read because they sell before she manages to reach them. She's only halfway through the inventory, and new books come in by the week. It's getting difficult to keep track of what she's read or not read, but she manages. The poetry section is her favorite, because those books don't sell as well and are likely to stick around for far longer than the rest.
Mr. Fell is interested in antiquarian items—old Bibles and religious treatises—but he occasionally brings along a friend, this good-looking younger chap whose name starts with a C, who has an interest in poetry. Or at least Ruth
he has an interest in poetry, because he stands there flipping through book after book in the section with intense interest while she and Mr. Fell exchange gossip and trade secrets (granted, it's more of the former than the latter, as Mr. Fell doesn't actually seem to know the first thing about running a bookshop with an eye for turning a profit).
Sometimes, C will take his time looking through a book, as if he's reading page by page instead of just skimming. He's a quick reader, regardless; she's certain he's read almost every book in the section by now. On one occasion, she could have sworn he looked disappointed to discover that she'd finally sold the signed first-edition of Michael Smith's
Times and Locations
. An obscure title, certainly, but worth having.
It had taken her about thirty seconds to remember that Mr. Fell had been the one to purchase it, about a month ago. It had also taken her far less time to realize how fond of the lad Mr. Fell truly was. He'd steal sidelong glances, as if concerned that they were leaving him out. C always read on, oblivious.
Today, Mr. Fell has decided to purchase a new scholarly edition of the Wycliffite Bible. Before wrapping the book, Ruth takes a piece of shop stationery—
From Maddow Books, With Compliments
—and scrawls, simply,
Tell him
She slips it inside the front cover and says, "That'll be twelve pounds, then."
St. James's Park
If secrets had market value, then Geoffrey MacGregor would be a very wealthy man.
As it stands, he's not. He's chief gardener and has been for nigh on forty years now, although he doesn't tend to dwell on that, as time is irrelevant when you're fairly happy with your job and know that your employers know you're the best in the business. Also, he's not afraid of the pelicans.
Maintaining the grounds of a large royal park, you see a lot. In fact, you see a little of
, even some things you wish you
seen. During the day, it's mostly the usual—loud teenagers with piercings in odd places and substances they oughtn't be using in public, couples snogging away on picnic blankets as if they think they've landed a private room at the Ritz, and so forth. Nighttime attracts considerably more interesting characters, which sometimes necessitates phoning the police.
It's not entirely sordid, of course. In fact, that's why Geoffrey's stuck with it for so long: he loves the park and all its inhabitants, even the bloody pelicans. He loves the swarms of Asian and Italian tourists with their incessantly snapping cameras, the subdued middle-aged French couples arguing as they smoke on the bridges, the schoolchildren brought out for a romp in the middle of a museum-ridden field trip.
Two, he loves in particular, because they've been coming ever since he started.
When Geoffrey
consider time in conventional terms, he will grant that forty years is a long time. He will also grant that, although the strangers who pass through each day are almost too many to count, he never forgets a face as long as it shows up a second or third time. Likewise, those faces age, just as his own has, although he rarely looks in the mirror anymore. He can see himself in the water clearly enough.
The two he's thinking of can't be thought of in conventional terms, because they don't age. In fact, not even their clothing has changed all that much; but then, they're the sort to dress in a manner that the fashion industry would probably call
. Dark trousers, white shirts, and jackets never go out of style. Neither do tweed and tartan, regardless what his Mary might have said up till her dying day.
Forty years. Forty
they've been coming, these two men, at least once a week (and sometimes more), and never has either of them appeared to have aged. The younger one sits somewhere around a handsome thirty-five, Geoffrey supposes. His companion might have ten years on him, but it's a graceful decade if it's a day.
They normally stand on one of the bridges, idly tossing bits of baguette or tea biscuit down to the waterfowl. Sometimes, of a Sunday, they stake out a bench and don't leave for hours, sipping tea from a thermos or whiskey from a flask. Unlike the stuff the teenagers bring in, whiskey, in Geoffrey's view, doesn't count as contraband, so he's inclined to let them be. In forty years, he's never said a word to them, and they've never spared him a glance. Some things, he reckons, are best left alone.
He'll watch over them, though, until the day he's gone. He knows they'll still be here, talking, feeding the ducks, and loving each other as much as he's come to love them.

Linda3M beat me to it with everything I might have said--I can only add "Amen!" In particular I second her that it feels like missing canon.
Your return to Good Omens writing couldn't have started off with a more exquisitely observed piece. *Hopping like a mad flea*
You succinctly reveal just enough background for the viewpoint characters to not only give them full personalities, but a hint of what draws them to the pair like Crowley's downstairs neighbor with the lost son who loved designer sunglasses and speedy, fine cars.
You flesh out the various little neighborhoods so well too, giving A and C's world the charm of well-traveled byways with their own "fauna".
I like the way you tie back into the novel with Rashid's sense of the occasion feeling right and tranquil and the birdsong of a "nightingale singing in Berkley Square". Nice touch to make the waiter have an Indian name so the "birdsong that reminds him of home" doesn't have to be outright named a nightingale; the subtlest of economy.
Best of all, I love how each of these observers feel avuncular, even a touch proprietary about the pair from Ruth scribbling her love advice to Gavin feeling warm fuzzies and Geoffrey simply loving them.
Incidentally, if ever you can find an old copy of "Eddie and the Archangel Mike" by Barry Benefield, copyright 1943, based on this story in particular, I think you'd love it.
It's not satirical as GO is and is thoroughly American but it has that magical quality and takes you into its world.
2010-02-28 09:21 pm (UTC)
I never truly leave GO, really - I just take leaves of absence when my work demands it, and inevitably get dragged back when I realize I've been away for too long. Usually, it's dreams or half-awake musings that drag me back - in this case, half-awake musings.
Harriet and Gavin were very clear to me, but the other three took a little bit of brainstorming. I'd wanted to have a sixth perspective, one for Covent Garden, but the cacaphony of the place made it too difficult for me to settle on one voice, so I cut it.
As usual, thank you for such insightful, detailed feedback <3

Support for Theravectys
05.09.2012 - French vaccine specialist Theravectys has closed a financing round worth €7.48m. The firm will use cash to develop immunotherapies.
With this new cash in hand, the biotech will continue the development of a new generation of vaccines based on lentiviral vectors. "Within the next two years, we hope to be able to demonstrate in humans not only the safety but also the potential effectiveness of our anti-HIV vaccine candidate," says Renaud Vaillant, CEO of Theravectys. The funds raised stem exclusively from private investors. Among them are prominent representatives from large entities like the Bettencourt family (L'Oréal), Philippe Oddo (Bank Oddo & Cie), Richard Hennessy (Cognac Hennessy) and Guy Paillaud (retail). John Pieters, former CEO of Amgen France completes the syndicate.
In particular, the fresh money enables the company to fund a Phase I/II clinical trial of its anti-HIV vaccine candidate and the development of new vaccine candidates based on lentiviral vectors. Theravectys also plans to move to new laboratories that are larger and can better accommodate the company's development. Theravectys uses lentiviral vectors which have the ability to induce a strong, sustainable and diversified cellular immune response by endogenously stimulating dendritic cells. This technology was developed at the Institute Pasteur in Paris and out-licensed to Theravectys.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-03/prominent-support-for-theravectys.html

10 Things You Need to Stop Buying in Black
It's time to lighten up!
1. Leather jackets
A black leather jacket is a classic, but it can sometimes feel a little heavy in the spring and summer. Why not try a pastel version instead? Pastels go great with everything from denim, to brights, to, well, black and they are always big for spring, so a lighter leather jacket will ever really go out of style. It's the perfect combination of hard-edged and soft — great for adding a subtly cool vibe to girlier trends, like lace and floral.
Clockwise from left: White Moto Jacket, VICTORIA'S SECRET, $208; Mink Leather Jacket, DOROTHY PERKINS, $78; Pink Leather Jacket, RIVER ISLAND, $240; Blue Leather Jacket, TOPSHOP, $370; Beige Leather Jacket, MANGO, $150
2. Sunglasses
Colorful, reflective lenses are huge this season, especially in bright plastic frames. They're fun, they help brighten up your face, and it's almost impossible to tell the $20 ones from the $200 ones. How much more convincing do you really need?
From top to bottom: Pink Wayfarer Sunglasses, FOREVER 21, $6; Green Wayfarer Sunglasses, MICHAEL KORS, $99; Fuchsia Sunglasses, SHERIFF & CHERRY, $125; Pink and Tortoise Sunglasses, TOPSHOP, $28; Clear Sunglasses With Green Lenses, SMITH OPTICS, $80; Turquoise Sunglasses, ITALIA DEPENDENT, $154; Blue and Pink Sunglasses, CONVERSE, $70
3. Workout leggings
Black leggings are just so damn boring. Enough already! No one is saying you have to "dress up" for the gym, but color is motivating and prints are fun and there isn't a workout in existence that couldn't use a little more of both.
Pastel Camouflage Leggings, PATAGONIA, $44; Blue Graphic Print Leggings, PUMA, $50; Floral Leggings, WITHOUT WALLS, $64
4. Basic bras
Purple, blue, and grey bras look pretty much identical to black bras under clothes, they're just more fun and a little springier.
Clockwise from top left: Navy T-Shirt Bra, VICTORIA'S SECRET, $40; Blue Strapless Bra With Lace Trim, AERIE, $50; Navy Lace Bra, AERIE, $25; Taupe Bra With Satin Paneling, CACIQUE, $42; Taupe Sheer Bra, CALVIN KLEIN, $44; Blue T-Shirt Bra, TRIUMPH, $23; Purple Underwire Bra, COSABELLA, $19
5. Work pumps
A conservative pair of pumps doesn't have to be black to be office-appropriate. Shoes are the perfect place to start incorporating a little animal print into your work wardrobe and light neutrals like pink and grey are spring-y without being overly flashy.
From top to bottom: Snakeskin Pumps, WAYNE BY WAYNE COOPER, $150; Gray Pumps, ZARA, $60; Pink Heels, NEW LOOK, $38; Leopard Print Pumps, VICTORIA'S SECRET, $79; Polka Dot Snakeskin Pumps, ANN TAYLOR, $138; White Pumps, NINE WEST, $79
6. Blazers
The sharp, clean lines of a classic blazer look even better with a bold print or bright, Technicolor fabric. Pair one with black, white, and denim to start, then add colorful shoes and accessories to liven things up even more.
From left to right: Chambray Blazer, LOFT, $98; Red Blazer, MANGO, $83; Black-and-White Striped Blazer, ALICE + OLIVIA, $198; Yellow Blazer, ZARA, $119
7. Evening clutches
Give your black evening bag a rest for a while. It's tired. Try something sparkly instead! Metallic gold and silver go great with everything and they're the most glamorous of all neutrals.
Clockwise from top left: Gunmetal Clutch, HALSTON HERITAGE, $295; Gold Metallic Clutch, DIANE VON FURSTENBERG, $156; Pewter Envelope Clutch, BCBGMAXAZRIA, $88; Gold Glitter Clutch, KATE SPADE NEW YORK, $328; Silver Wristlet, COACH, $48; Gold Raffia Clutch, RIVER ISLAND, $50
8. LBDs
Your go-to little dress doesn't have to be black. It can be white, or blue, or red — whatever looks best on you. Whatever you're feeling. The important thing is that it fits you well and isn't too fussy. That's what really makes an LBD so versatile — not the color.
Red Strapless Dress, FOR LOVE & LEMONS, $158; White Asymmetric Wrap Dress, MONIF C., $168; Blue Dress, NASTY GAL, $58
9. Pencil skirts
A printed or colorful pencil skirt is just as work-appropriate as the same skirt in black, but it's a lot more fun. Keep the rest of your outfit simple and clean for the office, and then throw on a crop top and a leather jacket for the weekend.
Clockwise from left: Multicolored Pencil Skirt, J.CREW, $118; Pink Pencil Skirt, TOPSHOP, $84; White, Beige, and Black Colorblock Skirt, RIVER ISLAND, $60; Blue Lace Skirt, NEW LOOK, $33; Gray Skirt, LABEL LAB, $45
10. "Good" bags
Every woman has at least one "good" bag — a structured little cross-body that anchors her outfit and easily transitions from work to the weekend. More often than not it's black, but red or blue or snakeskin can be versatile too, especially in a clean, conservative shape, opening up a whole new world of work-to-weekend dressing.
Clockwise from top left: Olive Bag, KATE SPADE SATURDAY, $135; Navy Bag, KATE SPADE SATURDAY, $145; Red Envelope Bag, REBECCA MINKOFF, $225; Mustard Bag, ZARA, $90; Blush Bag, FRENCH CONNECTION, $248; Snakeskin Bag, B BRIAN ATWOOD, $395

East Bay Regional Park District workers are threatening to strike July 4 and 5 over stalled contract negotiations -- a move that could disrupt swimming and other recreation activities on two of the district's busiest days of the year.
All 65 regional parks in Alameda and Contra Costa counties will open those two days with help from park managers and police, park officials said. But swimming is among the activities that could be barred or severely restricted at some parks, they added.
Regional park managers are trying to sort out which activities at which parks would be affected by the second strike in the agency's history. A 1975 strike lasted two months.
"The gates will be open, but some facilities and areas could be closed because of inadequate staff to safely operate them," said Bob Doyle, general manager of the two-county park district. "We think it's poor judgment to strike on a busy family holiday."
News of a possible strike bummed out some park visitors on Thursday.
While visiting Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation Area near Pleasanton on Thursday to fish, San Jose resident Lauren Neves said a strike would be tough on visitors, especially on July 4.
"Everybody wants to come out to the park," said Neves, 25. "They can strike all they want but I don't think it's going to happen. There are so many people who come out here; they (the district) need the money."
The district's unionized workers decided Monday they would strike for two days -- July 4 and 5 -- unless a contract deal for pay and benefits is reached before then, a union leader said.
The next contract negotiations with a state mediator are set to resume Monday.
"We are not trying to stop people from going to the parks, but this could be a very different kind of Fourth of July for the park system," said Brenda Wood, business agent for Local 2428 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. "We don't want to strike. We want to reach a contract agreement."
Local 2428 represents about 600 park rangers, supervisors, lifeguards, naturalists and other park workers whose old contract expired March 31.
Wood said the workers want to catch up for some of the pay and benefits concessions they made over recent years of economic downturn.
Park managers say they offered to increase pay 8.5 percent over four years, while getting workers to pay more toward their pension. Workers pay half of the employee share of costs for their pensions, the district would like them to pick up 100 percent of that, Doyle said.
Park workers rejected that offer.
Doyle criticized the union for targeting a strike on the busy Fourth of July holiday when many families picnic, swim and boat at such parks as Del Valle in Livermore, Contra Loma in Antioch, Shadow Cliffs in Pleasanton and Quarry Lakes in Fremont.
Lifeguards would be on strike, although park police would not.
Doyle contended the strike would be illegal and said the agency is seeking an order from the state Public Employees relations board to forbid the work stoppage.
Wood said the work stoppage is aimed at spurring a contract breakthrough, not hurting the popular park system.
Park visitors are the ones who would be hurt the most by a strike, said retiree Romy Pajarillo, 68, of Livermore. He doesn't usually fish on holidays, but he would be disappointed if Shadow Cliffs park were closed.
"What are we supposed to do, sit around and watch TV?" Pajarillo said. "We're supposed to be outside, enjoying the fresh air. ... This is a big part of my social life in the mornings, for us old-timers."
Staff researcher Camille Donaldson contributed to this report. Contact Denis Cuff at 925-943-8267. Follow him at Twitter.com/deniscuff.
Park officials advise the public to go to www.ebparks.org for updates on how parks would be affected by a strike.

VOLUME 13 NUMBER 15 & 16 November 27 — December 11, 1984 Federal funding to Tribes under Reagan takes dramatic nosedive Four years ago, the Char-Koosta ran its first public survey polL We asked numerous Tribal employees to comment on the election a day earlier of Ronald Reagan as President of the U.S. Predictions included the certainty of war, the abolishing of the commodities The name Char-Koosta is derived from Chief Charlo's and Chief Koostatah's names. They were the Tribes' last traditional chiefs. program, termination of all Indian tribes, a federal mandate that states would be given jurisdiction over Indians, lots of shutdowns, 50% budget cuts and a depression We also got an offer to play Russian roulette with a Tribal police officer so there'd eventually be one less Indian to worry about the effects of a Republican administration As it happened, none of the predictions came true, at least totally. There's been no big war so far, just the continuing "situations" in Lebanon and Nicaragua, et aL No tribes have been terminated in the past four years. State jurisdiction over Indians has been awarded in Washington over cigarette taxes, but no other cases have been reported The commodity program is alive and well and, sadly, thriving Which brings us to shutdowns and budget cuts. Thanks to the incredible complexity of the federal budget process (which is as much a case of politics as it is one of dollars), however, it isn't easy to be conclusive about how four years with Ronald Reagan have affected the Tribes A few facts do present themselves.

I had all of my discs stolen out of my car this past week (but not my bag, for some reason), so I need to re-up.
I'd like to drive down there Saturday afternoon if the shop's open. Just not sure of your hours.
Mostly interested in Super Soft Magics (bought one there last year, and I loved it), Rocs, Wraiths, and Xcalibers.
Wondering if you sell 150~ Rocs and of course 170s. Probably even interested in used Rocs. Of all the discs that got stolen, I'm especially angry about my first disc ever, a 165 DX Roc, that I've played with since '99. It was cream cheese moneys.
And if anybody reading this is down for a round or two or three at some courses in the cities Saturday, I'd definately be down. Just take it easy on the kid with the shiny new discs. I've played Camden a handful of times, Devils Glenn, Eastern, and Middle.

Sue Frisch is a professional dog trainer with 25+ years of experience working with dogs and their owners. She is a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) and the National Association of Canine Scent Work (NACSW) and Tri-State Dog Obedience Club (TSDOC). After 25 years managing an animal shelter while also running a dog boarding business at her farm and teaching training classes at night, Sue's expertise includes everything from basic manners training and behavior modification to dog psychology, nutrition, and exercise. Over the years she has worked with hundreds of families and their pet dogs. Sue knows that the science of canine behavior and training—and the resulting training techniques—is a field in constant development, and she makes sure to keep abreast of the latest discoveries. She regularly attends seminars with eminent behaviorists and dog trainers, and reads every significant book and publication on relevant topics. She is currently an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, is in the instructors training course for K9 Nose Work and studying to become a C.L.A.S.S. evaluator for the APDT's Canine Life and Social Skills program. Through her business, Your Dog's Place, Sue helps dog owners train dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments to be polite four-legged family members—and she gives dogs a home away from home when they board at her farm, Countryside Kennels. Sue lives in Honesdale, PA, with her four dogs, Mackie, April, Mystery, and Monkey.
Several students of Your Dog's Place Dog Trainig, a Honesdale based dog training facility recently received ribbons and titles in the popular dog sport of Rally Obedience. Rally is a fun and exciting team sport for dogs and their handlers! In Rally, dog and handler teams navigate a course with numbered signs indicating different exercises to perform such as Sit-Down-Sit, Sit - Walk around dog, Right, Left and About Turns, Figure 8 around cones, Send Over Jump, Recall Over Jump. Teams navigate the course at a brisk, continuous performance without direction from the judge. The dogs must stay with the handler during the course, walking politely on their leash in level one, and off leash in higher levels, while responding to the handlers request to perform the exercises instructed on the signs. Handlers are encouraged to talk to their dogs during the performance and may reward their dogs in the ring.
The exercises in Rally are great practice for good manners in real life, and through dog and handler teamwork, help
to improve the dogs focus on the handler. An attentive, well mannered dog is a pleasure to live with and easier to
take places than an inattentive dog that lacks manners. Dogs of any age can participate in Rally, as can dogs of any breed or mix and dogs with disabilities are also encouraged.
While many people enjoy competing with their dogs in Rally, it is not a requirement in Rally. Time spent working with your dog is always time well spent and many students attend weekly classes for the sheer enjoyment of spending time with their dog in a structured environment, while learning more focus and control. For more information about Rally, visit http://www.apdt.com/rally/about/. To learn how to sign up for an upcoming Rally class, or other dog training classes contact Sue Frisch at Your Dog's Place at firstname.lastname@example.com or 570-729-8977.

Gup's book touches Ohio town
By Dan O'Brien
December 20, 2013
December 20, 2013
Journalism Professor Ted Gup's book A Secret Gift is a touching true story of how his grandfather acted as a Secret Santa for Gup's hometown of Canton, Ohio, during the Great Depression in 1933.
Eighty years later, and three years after the book's release, the town is demonstrating that it hasn't forgotten about Gup's grandfather's enormous generosity.
"This story is owned by the community," said Gup, a longtime author and journalist, who is a former staff reporter for Time magazine and the Washington Post. "I wrote this story, but I don't own it."
This month, the story of how Gup's grandfather, Sam Stone, helped 75 families for Christmas is being honored, re-created, exhibited, and much more, beginning with the Canton Symphony Orchestra, which dedicated its entire sold–out holiday pops show December 3 to re-creating scenes from A Secret Gift. Gup served as narrator on stage.

"I'm totally cool with lectures, but this was another world," said Gup. "I was completely out of my comfort zone. But I thought it was great. I loved it."
Schools, government officials, and businesspeople in Canton, as well as the McKinley Presidential Library and Museum, have all used the month of December to honor Stone, who placed an ad in the local newspaper offering $10 with no strings attached to 75 families in need who submitted letters to him. Stone signed the ad using a pseudonym, "Mr. B. Virdot," which was a combination of the first names of his three daughters, Barbara, Virginia, and Dorothy. Virginia is Gup's mother, who is now 85 years old.
"I think one of the reasons they embraced this book is [because], at its core, the story is about how much difference one individual can make," Gup said, "and it shows what the meaning of community is."
Gup said the outpouring of support has been used as a lesson for his Emerson journalism students.
"I want them to know something about the fact that we don't write for ourselves," he said. "We write for others. There is a connectedness between the journalist and the communities we serve."
In 2010, CBS Sunday Morning profiled A Secret Gift and interviewed the only living person who wrote one of the 75 selected letters. As a 14-year-old, the woman wrote it because her financially struggling father would have been too embarrassed.
When Gup arrived at the symphony orchestra show, an elderly man approached him in tears and hugged him because his father was one of the recipients eight decades ago.
"It was humbling," Gup said. "This was an incredibly emotional story for this community."
From now until February, the McKinley Presidential Library in Canton is hosting an exhibit on A Secret Gift, which features some of the original letters, thank you notes, and the desk that Stone and his wife, Minna, used to write the checks.

In addition to a mayoral proclamation honoring A Secret Gift, schools in Canton and surrounding communities assigned the book for middle and high school students.
Local businesspeople also raised about $44,000 recently to help people in need after being inspired by reading Gup's book.
Gup adds this amazing fact: In the opening scene of A Secret Gift, Wooster College professor of oratory Delbert G. Lean reads Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol at the Canton Presbyterian Church on December 17, 1933. Lean, Gup said, was a graduate of Emerson College.

This room belongs to my dad, Jamie S. Prokup.<>>Jamie S. Prokup is my father. He married Janet M. Adams on July 3, 1993. I have many fond memories relating to my dad, but my earliest memory is a feeling of security. I remember being held and played with, which made me feel safe.

I know that in the past I might have embarrassed him, but not anymore. I love the fact he always wants to include me in the family outings. He also seems to be proud of me and enjoys talking about me to others. He and I have grown together and have developed a strong bond.<>>The message I want to leave with my dad is thanks.

For Seniors: Log Onto Your Laptop with Windows 7
Logging onto Windows is a process that typically involves turning on the laptop and typing in your password. Logging onto Windows the very first time is slightly different, but no more difficult.
If this is a new laptop, you must fully charge the battery before turning it on.
Start by pressing the power button on your laptop.
The Windows 7 startup sequence begins. The power button might be somewhere toward the back of the keyboard or even on the monitor. Your users' manual will help you locate the power button on your particular laptop model if you have trouble finding it.
In the resulting Windows 7 Welcome screen, use your keyboard to enter your password in the text box provided, if you've set one.
If there is more than one user account setup on this PC, you might have to click your user icon and then enter the password. You can create different user accounts and log on to one account at a time. User accounts save documents and settings for that user so whoever uses the computer has a personal Windows environment to go back to.
If you haven't set up the password-protection feature or accounts for more than one user, you're taken directly to the Windows 7 desktop.
Press Enter or click the blue arrow button.
The Windows desktop appears. The icons on your desktop may vary, depending on what programs your computer's manufacturer may have installed.

Three dogs rescued from burning truck at Walmart
Published: Tuesday, June 25, 2013 at 1:55 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 25, 2013 at 1:55 p.m.
An off-duty Hendersonville Police Deparment K-9 officer was loading his vehicle with groceries early Tuesday afternoon in the parking lot of Walmart when he heard a commotion several cars away.
"Everyone kept hollering to get the dogs out," Sgt. Jimmy Case said.
He then saw people around an older-model Ford F-250 truck with flames coming from the hood and smoke filling the cab, which held three dogs.
Bystanders and store employees opened the unlocked door and let the two younger dogs, siblings Buddy and Ellie, out of the truck, but 14-year-old Ned didn't budge.
"That old dog wouldn't jump out," said Case, who had to grab Ned out of the cab.
A Walmart employee and a shopper grabbed fire extinguishers and quickly put out the engine fire.
Although the engine was a loss, the owner of the truck was grateful for the good Samaritans who saved his dogs.
"I think it's wonderful," said Jay Jones, who was in the store when the fire broke out. "The dogs are my life."
Case has been a K-9 officer for 13 years and his partners are Zoro, a German Shepherd, and a bloodhound named Dixie.
Fire officials said an electrical malfunction caused the fire, which started at about 12:30 p.m.

Water line break shuts down traffic in front of Piggly Wiggly
Published: Monday, October 28, 2013 at 6:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 28, 2013 at 6:10 p.m.
NORTHPORT | A large water line break in front of the Piggly Wiggly on Lurleen Wallace Boulevard has forced the shutdown of two lanes of traffic.
According to city officials, the lanes will remain closed until the break has been fixed, which could take until midnight. The road's middle turn lane will be used for northbound traffic and one of the southbound lanes will be converted to a northbound lane. This leaves only one southbound lane open to southbound traffic.

Everyone wants to make sure that the holiday packages they send to loved ones and friends arrive in time to be waiting under the tree Christmas morning.
Those sending packages this year via the U.S. Post Office will want to take note of upcoming deadlines for shipping gifts stateside, internationally and to those serving in the U.S. military.
For customers making shipments via parcel post, the last day for shipment is Dec. 15.
Dec. 17 is the final day to use the post office for sending items for those serving in the military.
The deadline for first-class mail is Dec. 20; for priority mail, Dec. 21; and most express mail, Dec. 22.
The Marietta post office on Front Street has already been "very busy," said postmaster Andrew Morgan.

"We've had to add additional staffing to the window," he added.
The busiest times of the day now are at opening time, during lunchtime and the last half hour of the business day, said Morgan.
"People are trying to ship things around their work schedule," he added.
Business is beginning to pick up this week at the post office in Williamstown, said postmaster Sandra Lott.
"I expect Saturday the 15th and Monday the 17th to be the biggest shipping days," she added.
For Marietta's Front Street post office, Morgan said he expects Dec. 14, 15 and 17 to be the busiest of the holiday season.
According to Lott, customers prefer priority shipping for their holiday packages.
"Most people are shipping priority these days because it is our best-valued service," she said.
The "big tip" for customers who want to make their trip to the post office as speedy as possible is to "come prepared before you walk in the door," Lott said.
"If you have (the package) ready to go, that'll make your transaction a lot faster," she added.
Before bringing a package to a staffer at the post office, complete any necessary forms before getting in line.
"There's plenty of space out there in the lobby to fill out the forms," said Morgan.
Before sealing the package, be sure the mailing address is inside the box-as well as on the label.
"That's in case the label gets ripped or torn off. That rarely happens, but it does happen," said Lott.
Boxes used for shipping should not be gift wrapped, Morgan stressed.
"We want to be able to see the labels," he added. If a label is unreadable, "You might not get the type of service that you paid for."
To learn how to save time this holiday season-and avoid post office lines-by using the post office's Click-N-Ship service for paying, printing and shipping from home, go to usps.com/ship/get-to-know-click-n-ship.htm.
"I have seen a big upswing in that service," Lott said.
To use Click-N-Ship, at least one package being shipped has to be a priority parcel, she added.
Customers can also have the boxes that are used for priority mail shipped to their residence for free using Click-N-Ship, said Morgan.

Dover educators mull lawsuit on adequacy of state funding
This formula was created six years ago. Each year, school districts' enrollment changes. For example, Manchester, for fiscal year 2013, lost $240.41 students, while Dover gained 82.18 students. Manchester continues to receive the same amount of money they received with more students and Dover receives what they were receiving with less students.
