Auditions for "Art" by Yasmina Reza will be held Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. at Colorado Mountain College. The performances are April 19, 20, 26 and 27. Three male actors are needed (Ladies, don't worry, we have a show just for you coming up this November - check our calendar online for details!):
Marc - a very good friend of Serge's, but not necessarily a modern art fan. Marc is somewhere in his 40s, an aeronautical engineer, a practical, down to earth man. He is not married but has been seeing the unseen Paula for some time.
Serge - a 40-something dermatologist who has had his eye on this white-on-white painting by the modernist Antrios for some time now. He does not appreciate Marc's disapproval of his choice and feels that Marc sneers at its abstract style, and, by extension, at himself.
Yvan - just a bit younger than Marc and Serge, Yvan is still "finding himself." His new job with his fiancee's family is in stationery, though he's been working in textiles. And the wedding is putting Yvan on edge: If his mother comes, his father's second wife won't; if she doesn't come, she'll never speak to Yvan again; his fiancee's mother doesn't want the second wife there, etc. Yvan is generally a bit edgy, and this tension between Marc and Serge is just the last straw

The 2016 Equinoxes
There are only two times of the year when the Earth's axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun, resulting in a "nearly" equal amount of daylight and darkness at all latitudes. These events are referred to as Equinoxes and occurred on March 19th at 1030pm MDT (Vernal Equinox - the first day of Spring) and will again on September 22nd at 821 am MDT (Autumnal Equinox - the first day of fall). The word equinox is derived from two Latin words - aequus (equal) and nox (night). At the equator, the sun is directly overhead at noon on these two equinoxes. The "nearly" equal hours of day and night is due to refraction of sunlight. or a bending of the light's rays that causes the sun to appear above the horizon when the actual position of the sun is below the horizon. Additionally, the days become a little longer at the higher latitudes (those at a distance from the equator) because it takes the sun longer to rise and set. Therefore, on the equinox and for several days before and after the equinox, the length of day will range from about 12 hours and six and one-half minutes at the equator, to 12 hours and 8 minutes at 30 degrees latitude, to 12 hours and 16 minutes at 60 degrees latitude.
The 2016 Solstices
The winter solstice marks the shortest day and longest night of the year. In the Northern Hemisphere, it occurs when the sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn, which is located at 23.5° south of the equator and runs through Australia, Chile, southern Brazil, and northern South Africa. The summer solstice marks the longest day and night of the year. It is directly over the Tropic of Cancer, located at 23.5° north of the equator. This year, the Northern Hemisphere summer solstice occurred at 434 pm MDT on June 20th. The winter solstice will occur at 344 1m MST on December 21st. For a complete listing of the dates of the winter and summer solstice's and spring and fall equinox's through 2020, check out this site from the U.S. Naval Observatory.
The Seasons
We all know that the Earth makes a complete revolution around the sun once every 365 days, following an orbit that is elliptical in shape. This means that the distance between the Earth and Sun, which is 93 million miles on average, varies throughout the year. During the first week in January, the Earth is about 1.6 million miles closer to the sun. This is referred to as the perihelion. The aphelion, or the point at which the Earth is about 1.6 million miles farther away from the sun, occurs during the first week in July. This fact may sound counter to what we know about seasons in the Northern Hemisphere, but actually the difference is not significant in terms of climate and is NOT the reason why we have seasons. Seasons are caused by the fact that the Earth is tilted on its axis by 23.5°. The tilt's orientation with respect to space does not change during the year; thus, the Northen Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun in June and away from the sun in December, as illustrated in the graphic below.

This game is beautiful and very nostalgic to play. Reminds me of the golden days of arcade games.
Tried it a while ago, and I really liked it :D Great concept, great execution, and absolutely worth a download to try. There are also a lot of user-made maps available through the game.
Very addictive arcade style action.

(COLUMBIA, S.C.) -- Senator Greg Ryberg, a candidate for State Treasurer, released the following statement regarding his campaign:
"After a good night of sleep and a careful review of yesterday's results, I have decided it is not in the best interest of my family, myself, or my supporters that I continue my pursuit for the office of State Treasurer.
"I have always been a numbers guy. It is what my run for Treasurer has been based on; How to make the Treasurer's office better with a more careful review of the numbers. It is with that kind of review of the numbers that I have made the decision to end my campaign today. I wish my opponent the best going forward.
"I got into this because I understand numbers. I am getting out because I understand numbers.
"I want to deeply thank all those who have been so supportive of our campaign. I am blessed with a wonderful family and great friends and this endeavor has brought us even closer," concluded Senator Ryberg.
From the Associated Press:
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- State Senator Greg Ryberg of Aiken is dropping out of the Republican race for state treasurer.
However, it is unclear whether the move will allow top vote-getter Thomas Ravenel of Charleston to avoid a potentially expensive runoff.
In unofficial vote returns yesterday, Ravenel received 48 percent of the vote in the four-way GOP race. The millionaire developer easily outpaced Ryberg, who got 26 percent of the vote but won a runoff spot.
With Ryberg out of the race, the State Election Commission says the runoff spot could be passed on to third-place finisher Rick Quinn, who received about 19 percent of the vote.
The Republican nominee will take on Democratic incumbent Grady Patterson in November.

Call regular phones with your Mac
Telephone is a VoIP program which allows you to make phone calls over the internet. It can be used to call regular phones via any appropriate SIP provider. If your office or home phone works via SIP, you can use that phone number on your Mac anywhere you have decent internet connection.
Telephone is really easy to use. It was written for the Mac only.
Required OS: 10.6

Version 0.15.2 that works with 10.5 can be downloaded here:
This little gem sets the bar for how much UI any softphone application should be allowed to show.
I'm really happy to have found this. Otherwise, who knows, I might have to use the garish X-Lite or any of the other ugly, clunky softphone apps.
Telephone.app just works perfectly, with just the right amount of features. Huge thanks to the developers for making it available for free!
Just great!
Less is more!
My search for the best mac SIP client has now ended. A menu extra for placing calls would be nice though. Thank you!
Call transfer is the top-priority feature at the moment. I hope to release a new version of Telephone by the end of the year.
Too bad it lacks of a call transfer feature wich is a must have on work enviroments. It seems like development of this app stoped, too long since last release.
I was a diehard xmeeting user before Snow Leopard. Now, with xmeeting failing to run properly (and development seemingly stopped) and X-Lite having strange audio issues (it reports being unable to open the audio device, even with no other apps running), Telephone is now my phone of choice. Address Book integration is the killer feature for me, and Telephone makes it easy.
Using this for Gizmo5 for Google Voice, and I must say it is much more pleasant to use than the other two apps I tried (the official Gizmo5 app and X-Lite). Lightweight, out of my way until someone calls me. Well, even when someone calls me it's out of the way!
My only suggestion to make it even more out of the way would be to give us the option of running it in the menubar as opposed to the dock. That would be perfect!
Just installed it a few minutes ago, but EXACTLY what I need. VoIP / SIP with address book integration but no flashy extras!

With his strong foundation in family and faith, Citi's Head of Investor Sales and Relationship Management inspires confidence and provides a different perspective on Wall Street.
Anyone who thinks banking is a soulless profession has never met Jim O'Donnell.
Raised in Seaford, Long Island, one of four children of a financial services executive and a career nurse, O'Donnell became successful early and quickly. But his rise was by no means linear. In fact, many of his greatest achievements have been determined by a number of unexpected but ultimately important risks that demonstrate a quiet self-knowledge, a thirst for answers and a strong foundation of belief.
He was the first student from his high school to get accepted by Harvard, but chose to go to Princeton instead, impressed by the sense of community. A comparative religion major with thoughts of joining the priesthood, he jumped at a chance to join Merrill Lynch's corporate internship program straight out of college. After traveling to London on an assignment, instead of returning to New York to complete the internship program, he accepted a position at the London office, beginning a ten-year stint abroad. When, at a mere thirty-six-years of age, he was CEO of HSBC's securities and global equities businesses, dividing his time between London and New York, he chose to trade in his tie for a clerical collar and resigned to join a seminary. Eighteen months later, certain that, while he was very devout, the priesthood was not for him, O'Donnell left and returned to the world of banking, determined to both do well for himself and do good in the world.
In person, O'Donnell, 51, is so jovial and relaxed you'd never immediately guess his story has quite so many layers. Tall (though not as tall as his 6'7" great-grandfather from Co. Kerry) and ruggedly good looking, O'Donnell is the kind of person who's just as at ease in the boardroom as he is at the pub with friends. When we sat down to chat in his office on the 4th floor of the Citi headquarters at 390 Greenwich Street, his hearty laugh filled the room as he shared stories about his first trip to Ireland on St. Patrick's Day 1984, and he was by equal turns solemn and contemplative as he discussed the things that are most important to him: his family, faith and Irish heritage.
He's also passionate about his profession and the financial industry, and the questions asked by so many about its character and value in the wake of the financial crisis are questions he has also thought long and hard about. "Some people think it's so insular," he said, "but what I've learned about the markets is that you have to understand what's happening in the world overall. You have to know what's going on with the economy, with the employment rate, with the housing market. With how a world event – a natural disaster, a conflict, or something positive – will impact everything else. It's a tremendous learning curve every day.
"People have also asked me, how could you care about religion and work on Wall Street? But I love this industry and the people who work in it," he affirmed. "They're some of the most generous, caring people I have ever met, with a real understanding of the phrase 'To whomever much is given, of him much will be required.'"
It is partly thanks to his faith that O'Donnell got his start in finance. In 1983, through the church at Princeton, O'Donnell met Bill Schreyer, then the head of Merrill Lynch. One day after mass, with the end of Jim's senior year approaching, the two spoke about his plans for the future. Schreyer wound up offering O'Donnell, who was president of his class, a spot in Merrill Lynch's corporate internship program, making him the eleventh intern in what was supposed to be a group of ten.
It was an invaluable opportunity, and Jim had to hit the ground running. "I got there and I realized all of my colleagues were business administration, finance and economic majors," he recalled, "so the first couple of days in the orientation and training program was a real 'OSM' – I didn't know a lot of the terminology so I had to learn the language, and it was a lot of scrambling and studying. You don't see too many religion majors on Wall Street."
Still, Jim's background in comparative religion provided him with an outlook and broad understanding that served him well when he started out and continues to shape his approach. "Studying religion from a secular perspective (not a theological or doctrinal perspective) was the best thing I ever did, because I learned that it's a big, wide world," he said. "Throughout the history of humanity, nothing has affected our history more than religion. Whether in art, in architecture, or world history – and especially conflicts, even to this day, they're often about religion. Yet when you get to the essence and the heart of what religion is, it's beauty and sacredness and teachings of love, mercy, goodness and kindness. It gave me tremendous respect, acceptance and understanding," he added, "so while you definitely can't bring religion into the workplace, it's important to have a set of ethics to live by."

HARROGATE, TN -- Lincoln Memorial University head men's basketball coach Josh Schertz announced that Boyd County High School guard Austin Hunt has signed his national letter of intent to play basketball for the Railsplitters.
The Ashland, Kentucky native is considered to be one of the top senior prospects in the 16th region as well as the entire state of Kentucky. The 6'2 and 190 pound guard was ruled ineligible last season by the KHSAA after transferring into Boyd County High School. As a sophomore, he led Russell High School in scoring at better than 16 points per game.
"Austin is a power guard," stated LMU head coach Josh Schertz. "He is sneaky athletic, and has the size and strength to play either the 2 or 3. He is also handled it well enough to play the point in an emergency. He is physical, tough, and super competitive. On top of that, Austin is the total package, a big-time student who comes from a great family. He will be a tremendous ambassador for our university."
The Railsplitters jumped out to a 2-0 start for the fifth-consecutive season by taking a 95-58 victory over Bob Jones University on Friday of this past week. LMU hits the road for the first test of the season away from Tex Turner Arena on Tuesday, traveling to Trevecca Nazarene University to take on the Trojans in Nashville, Tennessee. That game is slated to tip at 7 p.m.

News 12 at 6 O'Clock, March 22, 2010
AUGUSTA -- Aaron Clements is a regular blood donor.
"That 30 minutes that you spend there can give you hours and hours of good feelings of knowing that you helped people," said donor Aaron Clements.
When he and others donate, the blood is tested and stored. But it doesn't last forever. Red blood cells last for 45 days, but platelets -- which aid in clotting are good for just five days. Plasma, just one day.
Doctors Hospital uses 90 percent of that blood for burn patients.
"With 26 patients in house, going to surgery three (patients) a day, that makes a huge dent. You really go through it fast," said Caryl Havasy of Doctors Hospital.
But hundreds more units are needed for the rest of the hospital.
And the shortage of O-Negative blood, usually used during emergencies, actually delays patient care.
"When we're short on o-neg, we call and we ask they delay surgeries, treatments until we can get that."
That can hurt those like Aaron, who remembers his car accident well.
"It was the kind where they have to use the jaw of life to open up the truck and get me out," he said. "Luckily the blood was there, the doctors did everything, the right way, and everything went well. But if it wouldn't have been for that, I'm not sure what would have happened."
You can donate tomorrow at First Baptist Church on Walton Way for the Shepeard Community Blood Center's blood drive.

You used to have to do a little hunting if you wanted anything beyond plain-old "wool" in your yarn. Today, not so much.
Knitwear designer Anne Hanson has been dipping her toes in the breed-specific yarn market through her yarn clubs, but recently she expanded her efforts with a new yarn line for the general public. Each yarn has its own weight and special blend of breeds. Here's a preview.

Helps with Arthritis Pain
Posted by Reviewer1958329 on Mar 12, 2008
I took a glucosamine/MSM product for several years but stopped because I didn't think I needed it. After a few months I was in a lot of pain in my fingers, knees and hip. I realized that I should not have stopped taking glucosamine. So I found this product and it worked faster than capsules or tablets because the powder dissolves in liquid so gets in the system faster. It is a little difficult to dissolve completely. Should probably shake it. I take it in a 100% juice product. I won't be without it now.
Great Product
Posted by Reviewer2466666 on Feb 20, 2009
I started having joint pain again after I stopped taking glucosamine (Knox Nutra Joint). I decided to start taking a joint supplement again and found this one. I really think it has helped because my joint pain (mainly knees) has gone away again.
Our dog loves this stuff.
Posted by Reviewer1922967 on Mar 09, 2009
We sprinkle this on our dog's food twice a day. We ran out of it for a week, and he started limping again.
Value for Money Collagen
Posted by RubiesHealth on Jan 11, 2013
We have a local brand that sells the same thing in another name - collagen hydrolysate, and without glucosamine and MSM, for more than four times this price. It is touted as a cure-all for aches and pains. Generally, those who suffer from unexplained aches and pains could be having systemic yeast-overgrowth problem. When they replace their sugary-starchy drinks and snacks between meals with collagen (protein), they eradicate those yeast and find relief. This powder dissolves completely. It tastes great with carrot juice and fresh coconut water!

Doc Roy's Potassium Citrate + Cranberry Granules are a highly palatable
supplement recommended to help prevent the formation of calcium oxalate stones
in the bladder and for maintaining urinary tract health. Most calcium oxalate
stones develop in cats between the ages of 5 and 14 years and in dogs between
ages 5 and 12 years.
What benefit does each ingredient provide?
Potassium citrate prevents the formation of calcium oxalate stones,
which are stones that can only be removed by surgery. Increasing the citrate
levels in the pet's urine results in the calcium binding with the citrate
instead of to oxalate, forming calcium citrate. This is a desirable event, since
calcium citrate tends to stay dissolved, whereas calcium oxalate tends to
precipitate out as a mineral deposit (i.e. stones).
Cranberry extract has been demonstrated to enhance urinary tract
health and will not increase the urine pH. The extract is high in anti-oxidants
and it is believed this prevents the bacteria from adhering to the urinary
lining and colonizing, which is beneficial to prevent urinary tract infections.
Since Doc Roy's Potassium Citrate + Cranberry Granules contains both of these
ingredients this supplement can be used more often for managing urinary tract
conditions with your dog or cat compared to supplements that contain only one of
these ingredients.
Will my pet eat this product?
Doc Roy's Potassium Citrate + Cranberry Granules are flavored with a chicken
liver powder that is very palatable for cats and dogs. Simply administer the
granules over the pet's food or mix with their food and watch them eat every
last bit. The Granules can also be used to stimulate a pet's appetite by using
as an enticement similar to putting chocolate sauce on your vanilla ice cream.
This supplement is supported by Revival Animal Health's 100% Satisfaction
How cost effective is this supplement?
Compared to similar products,
Doc Roy's Potassium Citrate + Cranberry Granules is very affordable,
especially considering this supplement is really a "2-in-1" supplement. At
current pricing, your cost is only $0.25/day per 10 pounds. Preventing stones is
more cost effective than paying for an expensive surgical procedure that could
have been prevented, but it is less painful for your pet.

- May 14:
- California Gov. Jerry Brown proposes more education spending, but his budget is less upbeat
- California Gov. Jerry Brown now says the state should assume the lead role in expanding health-care coverage under Obamacare.
- Gov. Jerry Brown sticks to controversial K-12 education funding plan, but adds accountability in May revision
- For California colleges, governor calls for tuition freezes and drops proposal for unit caps
- California courts get bad budget news
- Gov. Jerry Brown's revised budget plan offers more money for schools
- May 12:
- California Democrats urge fiscal responsibility with revised budget
Some highlights of Gov. Jerry Brown's revised budget released Tuesday:
K-12 SCHOOLS: Sticks to Brown's original proposal to give more money to school districts that have more English learners, low-income students and foster youth. But proposal includes new accountability requirements aimed at ensuring extra money will be spent on those students. Plan also includes additional $1 billion to help districts implement "common core" curriculum standards.
HIGHER EDUCATION: Previously proposed spending increases remain intact, but new plan abandons some sweeping changes advanced in January. No longer on the table: course unit caps, shifting adult education programs to community colleges and funding community colleges based on how many students complete each term.
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES: Backtracks on Brown's proposal to have counties take lead on expanding Medi-Cal under the federal Affordable Care Act, instead recommending that state take the lead. But proposal is contingent on shifting new costs to counties for food stamp program, CalWORKS welfare benefit and child care linked to cash assistance.The shift would reduce state costs by about $300 million in next fiscal year.
COURTS: No new money for California's court system, dashing hopes of judicial leaders who've pushed for restoration of some of more than $1 billion lost over the past few years. The courts are set to receive about $3.1 billion in funding, slightly more than last year, although it requires siphoning about $200 million from trial court construction reserves to reach that budget figure.
TRANSPORTATION: Spending in the new Transportation Agency -- which will encompass Caltrans, California Highway Patrol, Department of Motor Vehicles and other departments starting July 1 -- remains essentially unchanged from January at $21.1 billion. The CHP is spending $17 million more than thought to buy three new helicopters and an airplane while the California High-Speed Rail Authority is boosting budget by $5.1 million to add more staffers as it prepares to begin construction this summer.
ENVIRONMENT: Diverts $500 million generated by new cap-and-trade fees -- part of the state's landmark law to reduce carbon emissions -- as a one-year loan to the state Finance Department. Environmentalists and advocates for the poor complain that money is needed right away for communities hardest hit by pollution and to combat climate change.

- 'Doctor Who': Matt Smith wonders if leaving show will be 'big mistake'
It's not often that you get to party with a Time Lord, but a few journalists had a chance to do just that Thursday night as BBC America celebrated 50 years of the sci-fi juggernaut "Doctor Who."
Upon arrival at the trendy Soho House in West Hollywood, partygoers feasted their eyes on the TARDIS, the iconic time-traveling space ship that resembles a 1950s-era British police phone box. Perched on the sidewalk, right next to it was a Dalek -- one of the evil metallic mutants that has given the Doctor fits over the years.
Naturally, both items were magnets for picture-taking.
High atop the Soho House on Sunset Boulevard, where the bash took place, outgoing "Doctor Who" star Matt Smith made the rounds with his lovely companion, Jenna Coleman. Smith was rocking a close-cropped haircut that he took on for his new movie, "How to Make a Monster," but promised that the Doctor's floppy mop-top would be back in "some shape or form" for his big "Who" send-off in the show's Christmas special.
That episode follows the 3-D 50th anniversary special, which airs Nov. 23 and teams Smith with David Tennant, one of the most popular former time travelers.
Earlier in the day, in a press-tour panel, Smith said his scenes with Tennant went well.
"It was brilliant," he said. "He's a fabulous Doctor and he's a good bloke, a great bloke. ... And it was fabulous for the show."
For one night, the terrace garden/dining area of the Soho House was adorned with "Doctor Who" memorabilia, including a colorful mural of all 11 actors who served as Doctors -- starting with William Hartnell in 1963 -- and several vintage costumes from the show.
At one point the evening's tranquil vibe was broken when a few space beasts entered the scene and creepily loitered about. Yes, they were gruesome and ominous, but no need to worry.
After all, there was a Doctor in the house.

Survey shows teachers from LU are performing well
September 21, 2000
A recently-completed survey of school administrators and principals who hire college graduates as first-year teachers shows a high level of satisfaction with the performance of Lindenwood University teacher education graduates.
Dr. Richard Boyle, dean of the education division at Lindenwood, said the survey was sent to 122 administrators who have hired LU teacher education graduates. The survey was based on 10 standards for beginning teachers as adopted by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Boyle was pleased with the results.
"Ninety-eight percent were rated above average to excellent when compared to teachers who graduated from other institutions," said Boyle. "This is a strong statement about the quality of our program."
All 152 people who completed Lindenwood's teacher education program last year are now employed as teachers. Boyle said they all are knowledgeable about the MAP standards and "the strategies needed to be effective in the classroom."
For more information on LU's teacher education program, contact Dr. Boyle at (636) 949-4744.

Darth Tater has a new contest for the forum
Check it out!
Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by Darth Tater, Aug 19, 2010.
Agreed on Bell. But we still look weak even up 35-14.
Running game =A+ Quarterback = C Defense =B Nichols=A (Great TD catch when game was close and great attitude after losing QB contest to Cousins). Keeshawn-C When he tried to pick up that ball on special teams I was like OMG!!! Don't" But he did. And it was costly. He did OK besides that. Dantonio-C New kicker = incomplete Overall = B (Won't win many against Big Ten teams with all those stupid penalties, but then again, it was only the first game).
You'll be just fine. Remember...11-1 predicted...
I think both U of M and MSU have the potential to go 8-4. 9-3 at the very best (but unlikely). We both should get a bowl (6-6 is certainly attainable). U of M will beat us this year.
No, I don't think so. MSU at a BCS bowl game...UM at the Topeka bowl.
I want Boise State to lose tonight (I doubt they lose) and therefore go to the Humanitarian bowl in Boise (other than a BCS bowl). BSU hasn't lost at home in years (literally) and by some miracle I hope MSU goes there too. Then another miracle and we beat them and I mess with everyone in the city.
You're really hoping for the planets to align just right.
Yea, he's probably hoping the Philadelphia Eagles make the playoffs, too.
Bill...you can just...
Ya know Darth. I really enjoy reading about all the strange relationships / situations that you write / post pictures about. Reminds me of a wedding I went to awhile ago. an Older "transistor radio" was getting wed to a "young antennae". Didn't seem like a good match to me. The wedding was only "ok" but the "reception" was fabulous....
Uggh. Save it for the "Only Joking" thread seaweed boy.
Sparty favored by 26. Still can't believe Florida gave up a game in their home State for the almighty buck. Well...I guess I can... MSU 27 Florida Atlantic 17 Not so good, but enough to keep us on the path for 6-6 or 7-5 to earn the right to lose another bowl game in the 4th quarter by a close margin.
MSU gets a for today...
MSU sucked. The NCAA needs to investigate this. 4th and goal from the 7 for Florida Tech. 3 minutes left. MSU up 16 points. So you go for the touchdown. try a 2 point conversion. Hope to recover the onside kick. Score again and try the 2 point. It's a lot but your ONLY chance to win. Even a 6th grader knows that. The coach of Florida Tech kicks a damned field goal. Game over. They have no chance now. MSU up 30-19. Then he doesn't even try an onside kick. MSU wins 30-19. I never felt so sick after a win. First they play in Michigan and then the Florida coach does this??? What is going on here???
Florida tech never had a chance with that kind of odds. They simply knew it. My concern is that MSU had 17 first downs and Florida Tech had 21...
Florida Tech could have done it. It was a bit of a long shot but their only shot. The Florida players were visibly ticked. The announcers were shocked too. No need to stir the pot Nemo. I will be the first to admit that the pass coverage sucked, the quarterback sucked, and the offensive play calling sucked. The running backs were very good. MSU has a lousy team.
Good prediction, Darth. Did someone help you?
State should be able to clobber ND next week...
You know the old saying.."Even a blind squirrel can find an acorn now and then"...
The coach bet the under?

When podiatrist Dr. Rob Rinaldi retired to Vermont, he didn't envision continuing to practice medicine and certainly not for a hospital.
But Dr. Rinaldi found a cause worthy of coming out of a retirement. Working with Gifford Medical Center in Randolph, he helped create not only the vision – but the heart – behind the abundantly successful Sharon Health Center sports medicine clinic.
He has been such a positive influence that on Thursday at a ribbon cutting for an expansion to the health center, Gifford Administrator Joe Woodin unveiled a new sign recognizing Dr. Rinaldi and his Italian heritage. "Casa Rinaldi" reads the sign positioned beside the clinic's front door.
It brought a surprised Dr. Rinaldi to laughter and tears.
Originally built in 2005, the Sharon Health Center got its start as both a primary care and sports medicine clinic, but quickly the sports medicine practice bloomed. In 2008, a 2,200-square-foot addition was added to the original 2,700-square-foot building.
In October, a third and final planned expansion got under way to better meet patient demand. It was that recently completed expansion, this time 2,600 square feet, that clinic staff and hospital administrators celebrated with a ribbon cutting.
On hand were staff, members of the public, and those involved in the project.
Woodin praised the now retired Theron Manning, Gifford's former director of facilities, as well as the project architect, Joseph Architects of Waterbury, and builder Connor Contracting, Inc.
All three phases of the building have had the same architect and contractor. "The fact that we have a consistent architect and builder, it looks like it has always been there," Woodin said of the expansion.
"You stand back and look at this building and you can't tell new from old," agreed John Connor of Connor Contracting.
And Woodin praised Dr. Rinaldi and the complete Sharon Health Center sports medicine team.
"Thank you," said Woodin. "You care for patients so well. The stories that come out of here. You save people (from debilitating injuries)."
"This started with a vision," Dr. Rinaldi explained, noting that since many people have contributed to the health center, but the vision has remained.
That vision focuses on athletes, which Dr. Rinaldi described as "anyone who is doing a consistent exercise to reach a goal." Sure, he said, the clinic attracts world class athletes on a regular basis. But if someone is walking a dog every day and feeling pain, the clinic is there for that athlete as well.
Overall the goal is to get athletes of all abilities back to the activities they love.
Dr. Rinaldi has been joined in his love of caring for athletes over the years by physical therapists, chiropractor Dr. Hank Glass, sports medicine physician Dr. Peter Loescher, certified athletic trainer Heidi McClellan, a second podiatrist, Dr. Paul Smith, and, the latest addition to the team, a second chiropractor, Dr. Michael Chamberland. A second sports medicine physician is expected to join the practice in September.
The first addition added physical therapy gym space and X-ray technology. This latest expansion adds more gym space, a third physical therapy treatment room, four new exam rooms, a start-of-the-art gait analysis system and wall mounted flat screens for viewing ultrasounds.
Visit the Sharon Health Center, a.k.a. Casa Rinaldi, at 12 Shippee Lane, just off Route 14, in Sharon. Call 763-8000.

"She looked scared and lost to the world."
A little girl walks three tenths of a mile away from her daycare before being rescued by a stranger.
You pay them to watch and protect your kids while you're away, but one little girl managed to escape their eyes...and wander towards a dangerous road.
A sign on the front door of A Child's World daycare reads, 'Monitored By Closed Circuit TV'...so where was the person who was supposed to be watching those doors when the four-year-old walked away?
"All you can think of is someone stopping and getting her. You know, five years ago we had a little boy kidnapped by a pedophile and killed," says Patricia Woods, who found the child. "All you could think was someone swooping up this child."
The thought alone was enough to make the grandmother of six come to the little girl's rescue.
"You don't see that, that small of a child walking down Martintown Road," Pat says. "Sad, oh so sad...the cars and trucks going down Martintown Road...zip, zip, zip...she was just on the sidewalk...so close."
Too close for comfort, especially for a four-year-old.
"We asked her where she was going. She said, 'I'm going home'," says Pat. "'Where are you coming from?' 'Daycare.'"
When News 12 showed up at the daycare with questions, they were quick to shut the door.
Daycare workers rushed the kids behind closed doors.
All that was left were empty swing sets left to sway in the wind...abandoned after we showed up with a camera.
To give you an idea of how far the four-year-old had walked, we clocked it in our jeep, and it's about 3/10 of a mile. The question is, how long had she been gone before the daycare even realized she was missing?
"It was long enough they noticed she was gone..."
When Pat called public safety, dispatchers already knew exactly who she was talking about.
"They'd already called from daycare and said she was missing, and police came and got her," Pat says. "Everybody makes errors, but a 4-year-old child on Martintown Road..."
No word yet on whether the daycare will have any charges filed against them, but an incident report was taken.
It's important to look carefully when choosing a daycare.
Start with the cleanliness and safety of the building.
Ask the staff questions, and check their qualifications.
Parents should have unlimited access at the daycare center, and should be encouraged to take part in activities.
Any complaints or concerns that you have about the childcare facility should be discussed with the facility director, and any allegations of abuse or neglect should be directed to the child protective services in your area.
That number is 803-989-7318 for South Carolina, and 866-351-0001 for Georgia.
Daycare Checklist
Is the building clean and safe?
Is the staff well-qualified?
Do parents have open access to their children?

By BookRenter Mike – Why I chose economics.
People always laugh when I tell them I'm an economics major. Really, can you blame them? The standard comment goes something like, "With today's recession any study of economics is worthless." If you ask me the field of economics has changed dramatically over the last couple of years and I consider myself very fortunate to be studying a constantly evolving topic. My love of economics has always been rooted in the fact that economics is the study of scarcity, and that everything is scarce. Food. Water. Hours in the day. Everything. The simple fact that everything is scarce pushes me to live my life in the most efficient manner and to the best of my abilities.
My first economics class, Intro. to Microeconomics, was perhaps the most challenging class I have taken at college. Crazy, but although Intro. to Microeconomics has been the hardest class, it's also been my favorite. During the second part of the course we studied the 'romantic marketplace'. Literally, the study of the decision making process people subconsciously undergo when deciding upon a spouse. After two months of learning the basics, finally applying them to the real world in such a unique manner was incredibly eye-opening. I like to tell people that economics is the study of common sense; ironically the most interesting material I have learned in my study of economics has been the result of people not using common sense.
But honestly, you want to know the real reason I loved that first economics class and declared econ? I received the highest grade in the class!

We Heart Evan Rachel Wood's Red Carpet Style
The actress attended the DeadFall premiere during the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival on April 22, 2012, wearing a black floral embroidered Prada dress with long sleeves, a wide neckline, and an open back. Kate paired her above-the-knee LBD with black slingbacks and a Kelly green and chartruese-colored Prada clutch.
We also love that she let her dress and clutch steal the show by pulling her hair back in a sleek ponytail and wearing minimal makeup.
Talk about two-toned! Kate Mara showed up at the Tracy Reese Fall 2012 fashion show on February 12, 2012, wearing a black and blue military-style coat complete with epaulettes, black skinny pants, and nude and tan pumps.

MARIETTA - After taking Christmas Day off for the most part, shoppers returned to area stores Wednesday in search of better-fitting presents, discounted holiday items and merchandise to acquire with their gift cards and cash they received for the holiday.
For people like Marietta resident Tedd Wilson, 62, it was a matter of necessity - swapping a sweater for his wife for the right size at Peebles in Marietta. But that was the only shopping on his agenda Wednesday.
"My list was small so the exchanges are smaller," he said.

Marietta resident Diane Britton, left, hands a card to Peebles supervisor Robert Roux Wednesday as she exchanges gifts for her husband for different sizes.
A short time later, Luann Ayers, 50, and her niece, Aimee Morrison, 40, were at Kmart in Marietta, one of many stops on the itinerary for their traditional day-after-Christmas shopping excursion. The Parkersburg residents said they usually target stores in Marietta because they tend to be less congested than their counterparts in Parkersburg and Vienna.
Their trip was as much about fun as it was finding bargains on holiday-themed items.
"Just acting like fools," laughed Morrison as she took a cell phone video of a stuffed Mickey and Minnie Mouse dancing and singing nearly in unison to a Christmas carol on a discount shelf at the store.

* 3 to 4 percent - Forecasted growth of sales of electronics, clothing, jewelry and home goods November and December from 2011 to this year.
* 0.7 percent - Actual growth.
* 4 to 5 percent - Growth from 2010 to 2011.
* 15 percent - Amount of a retailer's December sales that can come in the last week of the month.

"Out in public," her aunt added.
While the traffic isn't as heavy as on the days leading up to Christmas, Dec. 26 tends to be a busy shopping day.
"We expect just as much traffic as we would 10 days before Christmas," said Summer Mason, manager at Peebles. "People do most of their exchanges and gift card use the first 14 days" after Dec. 25.
The last week of December can account for as much as 15 percent of the month's sales, Michael McNamara, vice president for research and analysis at MasterCard Advisors SpendingPulse, told the Associated Press.
And some retailers could be looking for a boost after holiday spending nationwide grew by just 0.7 percent compared to last year - less than the 3 to 4 percent analysts predicted and the worst rate since 2008, during the Great Recession.
Bad weather, including Superstorm Sandy, and uncertainty about the economy with the fiscal cliff-hanger still unresolved were blamed by some analysts. Others suggested the mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., cast a pall on the latter days of the holiday shopping season.
Cat Bigley, owner of S.W.A.G.G. on Front Street in Marietta, said business was good for her shop, with steady traffic even before Thanksgiving all the way up to busy days Sunday and Monday.
"I would say that we were probably up just a little bit this year," she said.
Bigley said the growth numbers are watched more by "big-box stores" and for jobs information. For S.W.A.G.G., a small business that sells a variety of items, the growth experienced was only positive.
"We've got people who come here first, second and last, so it's not like we've got to go out and find them anymore," she said.
On Wednesday morning, most of Bigley's customers had been from out of town, visiting family in the area. She expects to see gift certificates redeemed this week, but not many returns.
Goldline Jewelers owner Tom Hockenbrocht said he was surprised by how much business he saw Wednesday given the freezing rain that fell. Several people came in to have rings or watches they got for Christmas sized properly, while some had exchanges that often resulted in an "upgrade sale," he said.
"They came back and exchanged it for exactly what they wanted," Hockenbrocht said.
Newport resident Robin Haught, 50, went to Kmart Wednesday to spend some time with her mother, Arlene Arnett, and to stock up on items for decorations and gift bags for her kindergarten class at Washington Elementary School next year.
"It's always nice to open up a box next Dec. 1 and find all these things I've gotten for my classroom," she said.
But Marietta resident Marcus Kimbrough, 24, only entered the store on the way to more Christmas celebrating with in-laws due to errors in gift-giving.
"I got my wife the wrong-sized shirt for one, and she really just (didn't) want the pants," he said with a laugh.
Oak Grove resident Sarah Beardsely, 75, didn't have anything to return; she was hunting bargains at Peebles.
"I'm living by myself now," she said, adding that one reason she went shopping Wednesday was to "just go, get out of the house a little bit."
Visiting family in her native Marietta for the holidays, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., resident Lisa Walsh, 43, stopped by Peebles to use a gift card she'd received. Otherwise, the sales alone wouldn't be enough to draw her out so soon after doing her Christmas shopping.
"Typically, we don't go out because I'm kind of shopped out at this point," she said.

The free software age is all about giving the freedom to choose: flexibility to choose the best out of a variety of almost-the-best software is one of the hallmarks of this era. On the flip side, a newbie to this world often faces a choice overload. Should she go for Fedora or Ubuntu or Debian, GNOME or KDE, NetBeans or Eclipse, Open MPI or Open MP or PVM? We have loyalists on every side swearing by their product--and they are not wrong. It is tough to make a choice. However, with time, based on usage preferences, a choice is made and she finds her favourite distro, development tools and the like.
At the moment, two IDEs are dominant in the free software world: Eclipse and NetBeans. Being a NetBeans fan (and part of the NetBeans community), I will explain why in my opinion it's NetBeans is a fantastic choice.

Eclipse is a project focused on building a free (as in freedom), extensible development platform, runtimes and application frameworks for building, deploying and managing software across the entire software life cycle. Many people know it as a Java IDE, but Eclipse is much more than that. The best place for more about Eclipse is of course http://www.eclipse.org
Many people know it as a Java IDE, but Eclipse is much more than that
The NetBeans IDE is a free (as in freedom) IDE for software developers. The IDE runs on many platforms including Windows, Linux, Solaris, and the MacOS. The NetBeans IDE provides developers with all the tools they need to create professional cross-platform desktop, enterprise, web and mobile applications. More on the NetBeans IDE is available at http://www.netbeans.org/products/ide/
Both Eclipse and NetBeans were primarily targeted at Java developers with C/C++ support as well. With time, however, more and more languages were supported by each.
Eclipse "Europa" now officially supports C/C++, Java, PHP; there is some external support in the form of plugins for Python and Ruby.
On the other hand NetBeans, which was released recently, supports C/C++, Java, Ruby officially among a host of other languages such as Groovy. PHP support is being worked on and Python support is on the cards as well.
Why switch to NetBeans?
Whether you are a Java or a Ruby developer, there are enough reasons to switch to NetBeans. Here are the most important ones (http://www.netbeans.org/switch/why.html):
- Powerful GUI Builder: The GUI Builder (formerly known as Project Matisse) supports a sophisticated yet simplified Swing Application Framework and Beans Binding. Now you can build GUIs in a natural way.
- Ruby and Ruby on Rails Support: Both native Ruby and JRuby development on Rails are available. You can switch easily between the two. The sophisticated Ruby editing capabilities make it easy to create and modify Ruby applications. NetBeans 6.0 as a Ruby development IDE has received wide appreciation from the Ruby community, with many developers blogging about their new favorite Ruby development environment-- NetBeans
- Profiling and Debugging Tools: With NetBeans IDE Profiler tool, you get real-time insight into memory usage and potential performance bottlenecks. Furthermore, you can instrument specific parts of code to avoid performance degradation during profiling. The HeapWalker tool helps you evaluate Java heap contents and find memory leaks.
- Support for Java Standards and Platforms: The IDE provides end-to-end solutions for all Java development platforms including the latest Java standards.
- Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Support: Supports SOA composite applications and tools such as BPEL, WSDL, and XSD.
- Extensible Platform: Start with its extensible platform and add your own NetBeans IDE features and extensions or build an IDE-like application, keeping only features you want. Extending the platform and its Swing-based foundation saves development time and can optimize performance.
- Customizable Projects: Through the NetBeans IDE build process, which relies on Apache Ant rather than a proprietary build process, you can easily customize projects and add functionality. You can build, run, and deploy projects to servers outside of the IDE.
- Visual Web Development Support: The NetBeans IDE provides a visual environment, tools, and drag-and-drop components that simplify web page and application development.
- Non-Java Code Support: You're not limited to the Java programming language. You can include many other programming languages, such as C++, C, scripting languages like JavaScript, Ruby, etc. Even more exciting, define your own language and include it in your projects. Check out http://languages.netbeans.org for more about working on a new language support in NetBeans.
Not convinced yet?
A NetBeans plugin is available which allows you to import your existing Eclipse projects into NetBeans and continue working from there. There is also a relatively new development, the NetBeans Community Docs sub-project EclipseToNetBeans, which is going to be the entry point to hands-on style documents showing you how to import Eclipse projects of different types,size and complexity into NetBeans.
If you are not convinced, hear some real stories of real "switches" [here](http://www.netbeans.org/switch/real stories.html).
If you are convinced, join the NetBeans Community. Find out more at http://www.netbeans.org/community/index.html
With this short entry, I have surely joined the great Eclipse-vs-NetBeans debate. It's a free world, and I am talking about free software: I am definitely not ashamed of my views. Bouquets and Brickbats are welcome!
Two major differences (right now)
Right now, the major difference between both IDEs are Matisse, and well SOA support in Netbeans side. The rest of features are almost the same in Eclipse, and even better, for example, plugin support/development and availability.
But it is feasible that Eclipse will offer a good SOA support in a near future.
I remain unconvinced that IDEs are a good idea
It is true that a lot of people are loyal to various IDEs (though I'm reasonably sure that the universe of popular IDEs is a lot larger than just Eclipse and NetBeans -- both seem to me to be highly Java-biased, based on who uses them, and I NEVER use Java).
But I'm not sure that I see the point of IDEs in the first place.
They lock you into a small controlled environment which is highly integrated. Which has advantages. But the flipside is that you are locked into one choice (which is why there can be any concept of competing environments in the first place).
Integrating programming tasks, though, is a uniquely EASY process (nowhere near as difficult as, say, embedding spreadsheets in a word processing document). It's almost entirely about moving text around -- and that is something that any decent desktop environment will do with ease (at least I have no problems cutting and pasting in KDE or even FVWM).
So why not use the "small sharp tools" approach and just pick a great editor, a good terminal environment, and an appropriate GUI builder without concern for frameworks? I routinely use a combination of gVim, gnome-terminal, mozilla, inkscape, and/or glade under KDE (Note the lack of a unifying theme here! And of course, the choice of tools depends on the project).
With an appropriate selection of tools -- and there is a big universe of development tools out there (that being what free software is absolutely best at) -- you can, ISTM, be more productive than with any single IDE, because choosing an IDE is a form of lock-in that prevents you from always being able to pick "the right tool for the right job".
So I have to wonder, what would I be buying by trading off that freedom?
It's nice to see NetBeans
It's nice to see NetBeans getting a little praise. I have to wonder, though, where the articles are about the excellent KDevelop suite.
A reply to why
To respond to Mr. Hancock's inquiry from my own perspective: While I don't find IDEs particularly advantageous for straight coding, they can be a convenience for rapid prototyping.
Eclipse vs Netbeans 6.0
I've tried Netbeans 6.0 and I liked it a lot but I won't event consider leaving Eclipse for these two reasons:
1. Mylyn - http://www.eclipse.org/mylyn/;
2. Better Subversion Integration (to handle the "svn:needs-lock" property, I have to manage SVN from outside the IDE in Netbeans);

SAN FRANCISCO -- Since the SFJazz Center opened its doors 16-plus months ago, no one has had more fun there, and defied more expectations, than pianist Jason Moran. He has collaborated with comedians (Faizon Love and Marina Franklin), jazz elders (pianist Randy Weston and saxophonist Billy Harper) and a chamber ensemble (Imani Winds). His bristly trio, known as the Bandwagon, has performed alongside a squadron of skateboarders, and is doing that once again this weekend.
Friday, Moran gave a duet performance with saxophonist Charles Lloyd, one of his mentors. Their recital was luxurious with ballads, beginning with Billy Strayhorn's "The Star-Crossed Lovers," which Lloyd introduced with a sensual flourish that felt like feathers brushing across skin.
A resident artistic director with the SFJazz organization, Moran has been a member of Lloyd's quartet since 2007. Two years ago, they recorded "Hagar's Song" (ECM), an album of duets, often transfixing. Friday's 90-minute performance was even more focused than the recording. Moran, who is 39, and Lloyd, who is 76, played as if moving through a shadow-land of memory and heart, sometimes at the edge of silence. You could hear the clacking of the keys on Lloyd's tenor saxophone.
He has a lean and mellow sound -- it's become an essence, almost a fragrance -- that comes out of the John Coltrane school but with his own brand of swoops and squiggles and leaps. Friday, he rarely strayed far from a melody. On Gershwin's "Bess, You Is My Woman Now," for instance, he hewed to the familiar song throughout his solo, surrounding each phrase with exotic, fluttering elaborations. Often, he climbed up through the horn's registers with a whoosh, then added a quick downward fillip to land on his target note.
There's a lot of open space in his playing, as in Moran's. The pianist took "Bess" at a slow, slow tempo, tweaking the harmonies toward church cadences -- something like Keith Jarrett, an influence (and, back in the '60s, a member of Lloyd's quartet) but with more gravity and blues.
The effect recalled that of a Coltrane tone poem or spiritual, though, again, Moran's language, like Lloyd's, is unique and has a way of leading a song to fresh territory. He incorporates stride piano and Duke Ellington's clear, elegant approach to accompaniment. He is likely to fling a ripple up the length of the keyboard, like Fats Waller or Art Tatum; to punctuate with a left-handed spike, like Thelonious Monk; or to unleash a brief, rumbling crowd of notes, calling to mind Andrew Hill, one of his teachers.
"Go ahead!" Lloyd often shouted at him, because Moran, a study in motion, especially when he quietly "goes to church," also builds groove. While Moran did this toward the end of the concert, lanky Lloyd moved to the side of the stage and danced in the shadows: with his beret and sunglasses, blazer and drainpipe slacks, he is one of the original hipsters.
Moran's church cadences turned, surprisingly, into "Caroline, No," by Lloyd's old friend Brian Wilson, of the Beach Boys. (It first appeared on their "Pet Sounds.") Lloyd and Moran boiled the ballad down to its sad, exquisite essence. They did the same to Ellington's "Mood Indigo" and to the old standard "You've Changed," by Bill Carey and Carl Fischer, which Billie Holiday once sang, and which Lloyd now was "singing," too." You could have heard a pin drop.
As an encore, the duo played Wilson's "God Only Knows." It was operatic, trembling with melody, then fading to silence.

SAN JOSE -- A toddler miraculously escaped injury after a suspected drunken driver plowed his pickup into her family's San Jose apartment, breaking her crib in half and knocking the tot onto the bedroom floor, witnesses and police said.
"I'm just shocked and very grateful," said Katherine Juarez, 22, mother of 2-year-old Nahla.
Juarez's family was jolted awake about 3:35 a.m. when a white Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck jumped a curb on East Taylor Street, knocked down some fencing and hit their building at the corner of North 23rd Street.
"It was a large boom," Juarez said. "It felt like a horrible earthquake. We thought the ceiling was going to fall."
She said the pickup first hit the wall of an adjoining room before it spun and crashed the truck bed through her bedroom -- which had Nahla's crib standing against the outside-facing wall.
"The crib was broken in half and pushed to the middle of the room," Juarez said. "The first thing we did was look for her, and she was on the floor, crying."
As she put the child down in the living room, she heard the driver rev the engine and looked outside to see the truck taking off in an apparent escape. But arriving officers stopped the vehicle from getting farther and the male driver was arrested on suspicion of DUI, Officer Albert Morales said.
Further details about the suspect were not immediately available.
Nahla was taken to the hospital and after an hourlong examination and was declared to be injury-free, Juarez said. On Wednesday morning, with skid marks from the crash still fresh in the mud outside, Juarez said she could finally breathe a sigh of relief after bringing her daughter home.
"I can finally smile again," she said.

Hide-and-seek, and a bobcat visit
We hiked up to Hug Hill, taking advantage of the early-morning crust on the deep snow that covers most of the trail. On the way up, K crawled under a log, looking very cute as she did it.
Look at where she "hid" today! She's chosen this spot many times in her life. I grin... because I love our silly game.

I love playing hide and seek with MOM. But I blend in so well this time of year. But the way K plays is oh so cute. I think R was giving K a little brotherly kiss on the head. For being a cracker dog he is very sensitive and you can tell he loves K. I know it seems miracles are hard to come by but with every post you make I always think I am looking right at a miracle in K's eyes. But I do understand what you are saying.

The evening glow makes for perfect photos!
The bob cat is so beautiful!
And we just love seeing K and R together! Yes, I see a deep wisdom that is growing inside of R. He has been a puppy for a long time, but those eyes speak!
And of course I see K speak as she plays hide and go seek, and then crawling under that log is just beautiful!
It is so good to see K feel so good, and we ask for a miracle- we never stop asking (a miracle for her to feel good for a long, long time,)

Maybe R is finally growing up from being a puppy to a mature dog. Beautiful pictures as always. I love the one of K looking under the tree branch.

But you ARE living a miracle, dear friend! A beautiful, no matter what, forever miracle...maybe not the one you would most wish for but a precious wonderful incredible gift nonetheless.
R will rise to the meet the needs of all in his pack...just watch.

That pic of R "whispering" to K is priceless!
I'm wishing for you the very best test results this Friday. But you are absolutely doing the very best at making each day of her life complete and full. Whatever happens, you can have no regrets as to the decisions you have made for her. She has a beautiful spirit and so do you.

You know, what's happening between K and R is something that I've seen here -- twice. Blueberry picked up a lot of things from Treat while Treat was sick. The depths of understanding that she showed after Treat died blew me away. And I saw it again with Hawk and Bunny. I'm not sure why, but the old man really took the new pup under his wing. He'd been declining since Treat's death, and I really thought he'd grieve himself to death in a matter of weeks. But Bunny's arrival did something to him. He hadn't really played much in a couple of years, but he taught her his famous trick of playing with a toy until someone *cough, Blueberry* gets off the bed you want for the toy and you can steal it. Sometimes I wondered if it was because Blue and Lilac were so close or if he really took a particular shine to Bunny. But he was very good with her, definitely taught her the ropes and how to look after me. After he felt like his work was done, he was ready to go. It will always be a thing that sticks out in my mind!

Lovely photos of the two...The bobcat looks nice. Maybe you kittens soon??? Vilja escaped away about 5.30 pm. I was with friends. She ran to the woods and found soon a roe. We tried to ran after but it was useless. We heard her all the time barking after the roe. After 75 minutes it was dark and I was worried. She stopped hunting and heard us talking and came to us. That was a nervous time..now she´s sleeping ...

I am delighted to read of K's enthusiasm and her positive stance each day, may this relate on the news on Friday.
I do agree of R, certainly has matured with a sense of gentleness towards K and a true gentleman.
