An Elkins man accused of growing marijuana and making methamphetamine after police found a large marijuana plant outside his residence last fall entered into a plea agreement Wednesday in federal magistrate court.
Velair Von Collins II, 41, of Elkins, pleaded guilty to one count of an information charging him with being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm, a felony, in front of U.S. Magistrate John S. Kaull.
According to the terms of the agreement, Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Warner will make a motion to dismiss the federal indictment currently pending against Collins at his forthcoming sentencing hearing in federal court. Kaull explained the charges in the indictment only will be dismissed if U.S. District Judge John Preston Bailey accepts the plea agreement, determines Collins is guilty and accepts Warner's motion to dismiss.

In October 2012, Collins was named in a three-count federal indictment charging him with one count of maintaining a drug-involved premise in September 2012, one count of possession of material used in the manufacture of methamphetamine and one count of use of a firearm in furtherance of a drug crime on Sept. 4, 2012.
Collins turned himself in to Randolph County Magistrate Court several days after Cpl. C.D Cross with the Elkins Police Department discovered a 4- or 5-foot marijuana plant growing in a 5-gallon bucket near Collins' residence on Sept. 4, 2012, according to previous reports. Police subsequently obtained a search warrant for Collins' Diamond Street property and allegedly found the makings of a "shake-and-bake" meth lab, two guns and other drug paraphernalia inside his residence.
Warner filed the charge Collins pleaded guilty to in court Wednesday - being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm - based on information from Randolph County Circuit Court, which indicates he is a convicted felon. According to Circuit Court records, Warner told Kaull, Collins was convicted of driving under the influence, third offense, a felony, on Feb. 25, 2003. As a felon, Collins is legally forbidden from possessing a firearm. However. Warner said when police searched Collins' residence Sept. 4, 2012, they found a Harrington & Richardson 12-gauge shotgun with no serial number and a Marlin .22-caliber rifle.
When Kaull asked Collins why he was pleading guilty, he answered, "because I had it (firearms) in my possession, sir."
"I'm guilty of that crime and that crime only," Collins said.
During Wednesday's plea hearing, Warner told Kaull that he and Collins' attorney, Brian Kornbrath, had "agreed to disagree" about whether or not Collins' possession of the firearms was connected to the commission of another felony. Arguments to that end will be made during Collins' sentencing hearing, which has yet to be scheduled.
Under federal law, the penalty for a conviction of being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm is confinement in federal prison for up to 10 years, a $250,000 fine and up to three years of supervised release.

An Amherst man pleaded guilty in court Wednesday to what federal prosecutors call the biggest synthetic marijuana bust in Western New York history.
Fawzi A. Al-Arashi, 35, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute a controlled substance.
Al-Arashi was charged last July, after a search of his warehouse on Ridge Lea Road in Amherst turned up 30,000 packets of the drug.
He will be sentenced on Nov. 25.
"To the best of our knowledge, this is the first conviction here in Buffalo involving synthetic marijuana," said U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr.
The case, in fact, raises the question of how stiff a penalty the judge should impose.
Synthetic marijuana is still new enough to the scene that both sides differed widely Wednesday on where this crime falls within the sentencing guidelines.
Defense attorneys compare the drug to marijuana and, based on the guidelines, believe it means as much as 2½ years behind bars at the most.
The U.S. Attorney's Office, meanwhile, thinks synthetic pot should be treated differently than marijuana because it's a more potent, more dangerous drug, Hochul said.
Federal prosecutors believe that as many as 14 years behind bars is more appropriate in this case.
"So either way it's going to be appealed, I'm sure, no matter how we calculate this?" Arcara asked in court.
"I don't think so," said Joel L. Daniels, who is representing Al-Arashi, along with defense attorney Cheryl Meyers-Buth.
Al-Arashi was born in Yemen, but grew up in the Buffalo area, where he graduated from the University at Buffalo with degrees in computer science and business administration, he told Arcara.
He operates several family-owned convenience stores in the area, Al-Arashi told the judge.
The Drug Enforcement Administration Office in Buffalo was tipped off by the DEA office in Los Angeles last year about a suspected shipment of synthetic marijuana bound for Western New York, U.S. Assistant Attorney Frank T. Pimentel said in court Wednesday.
The shipment was delivered to Town Tobacco, Al-Arashi's store at 3407 Delaware Ave., Town of Tonawanda.
But law enforcement said the operation was much bigger than Town Tobacco or Al-Arashi's other store, Welcome, Welcome, at 140 Main St., North Tonawanda.
Al-Arashi is accused of repackaging the synthetic marijuana at his Amherst warehouse then selling it across the state in brightly colored packages with such names as "Pump It," "Tiger Shack" and "California Dreams."
Daniels declined to comment outside the courtroom on Wednesday.
Al-Arashi already has agreed to forfeit nearly $300,000 from three accounts, as well as a 2012 Ford Tundra, Pimentel said.

One of Southeast Asia's smallest countries, Cambodia is a blossoming land that captivates the soul. Its rich culture, ancient Khmer legacy and the charm of its people create an allure that's hard to resist. A journey to the magnificent ruins of Angkor and the famed temple, Angkor Wat, is likely to leave even the most experienced traveler at a loss for words. The fascinating land of Cambodia offers a glimpse into the heart of Southeast Asia and adds a healthy dose of adventure into your next Asia vacation.
Like the rest of Southeast Asia, Cambodia experiences monsoons, which are known as tropical wet and dry seasons. The southwest monsoons blow inland and bring precipitation and high winds from May to October. The northeast monsoon brings in dry season, which lasts from November to April.
During the rainy season, humidity is high and temperatures range from 75° to 90°F. Rain is heaviest from September to October and the driest period is from January to February. Temperatures during the dry season range from 70° to 95°F. The best months to visit Cambodia are November to January when the temperatures (70° to 85°F) and the humidity (with 0 to 5 inches of rain) are lowest.
The official language and the language primarily spoken by Cambodians is Khmer. However, among the younger generation and those in the business class, English is the favored foreign language to learn and is widely spoken and taught in larger cities.
Sometimes used in the government is Cambodian French, which is a dialect found in Cambodia and is a remnant from the colonial days. Depending on the region you visit, there are five main dialects spoken throughout Cambodia, all of which are mutually intelligible.
The language, unlike most of its neighboring Asian countries, is not tonal. Khmer uses its own script, which has different styles used for different purposes.
January 1 – New Year
January 7 – National Day / Victory from Genocide Day
April 13 or 14 - Chaul Chnam (Cambodian New Year celebration)
April or May - Visaka Bochea (Buddhist observance)
May 1 – Labour Day
May 20 – Day of Hatred
May – Royal Ploughing Ceremony
September or October – Pchum Ben (Ancestor's Day)
November 5 – Independence Day
November – Water Festival
Although the US dollar is accepted throughout Cambodia, the official currency is the Cambodian riel. The exchange rate as of Feb 2010 is 4,155 riel to US$1.
Bring small denominations of US cash with you wherever you go to avoid problems with changing larger denominations or counterfeit notes. Banks will give you the best rates.
Bartering is not as intense as in neighboring countries because the vendors' asking price is not markedly higher (unless at a very popular tourist attraction); therefore, it is important to be respectful when haggling at the markets.
Tipping is not expected but is greatly appreciated as wages are low.

Profound Productivity Tours showcase milking solutions and expertise
Profound Productivity Tours showcase milking solutions and expertise
DeLaval recently wrapped up its 2011 Profound Productivity Tour schedule with the VMS Freedom to Choose Tour and the World Dairy Expo Tour. The company hosted a total of more than 70 visitors at dairy farms in the U.S. and Canada and showcased a wide variety of DeLaval milking solutions where herd sizes ranged from 60 to 8,000 cows. Both tours also included a day at some of the industry's largest tradeshows in North America.
"The tours are designed to show producers the options when considering a change to their own operation," said Sybil Birmingham, Tour Coordinator. "Whether their looking to upgrade, redesign, or even start anew, the tour enables farmers to make informed decisions that will help them improve their business."
VMS Freedom to Choose Tour, September 13-17, 2011
September's VMS Freedom to Choose Tour embarked from Toronto, Canada and took producers to see seven dairy farms operating robotically with DeLaval Voluntary Milking System (VMS) stations. The visits gave producers insight into the many aspects of automated milking, such as barn planning, cow traffic and comfort, and herd management.
Dr. Francisco Rodriguez, Dairy Management Advisor for DeLaval VMS, was on hand to answer herd concerns during the Pre-Planning Seminar and tour.
"Before producers can make decisions about their dairy facilities and barn layouts, they must find a solution that fits well with their management style," Rodriguez commented. "The VMS Freedom to Choose tour isn't just about automated milking but rather it's one part of the discovery process to help producers identify what will or won't work for them."
The tour group also visited the Canada Outdoor Farm Show in Woodstock, Ontario. As a major sponsor of the show's Dairy Innovation Centre, visitors witnessed a DeLaval VMS station working side-by-side a competitor's robotic milker.
World Dairy Expo Tour, October 3-5, 2011
In October, a new group of dairy producer's joined the World Dairy Expo Tour to see four progressive dairies all with very different milking facilities. The group visited operations featuring the following DeLaval milking solutions: VMS, Heavy Duty Herringbone, Twin 80-Stall Rotaries and a Cascade Parallel parlor.
four DeLaval VMS units at his dairy farm in Waunakee, Wis.
Touring producers also spent one day at the World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wis., where the state-of-the-art DeLaval Automatic Milking Rotary was on display at the company's award winning booth.
Upcoming 2012 Profound Productivity Tours
Next year's tour schedule begins January 16 with a VMS Freedom to Choose Tour in the US. The two-day tour starts in Madison, Wis., and will visit seven VMS farms. The DeLaval World Ag Expo Tour, February 15-19, will spend one day at the agricultural trade show in Tulare, Calif., and visit dairy farms milking from 3,500 to 10,000 cows using a wide variety of DeLaval milking and herd management solutions.

So does that mean the singer, 30, wants his son to grow up to be a Grammy-winning R&B star? Not necessarily: "I hope whatever he chooses to do in his life, he goes after it with passion and dedication."
That's the same message Usher (who welcomed second son Naveid last December) is spreading to help increase awareness of the benefits of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. A childhood photo of the singer is featured on a new billboard for the "Be Great" campaign, with the tagline "Be Iconic."
For Usher, the message of the Boys & Girls Club hits close to home. "'Be Great' starts when you're an infant," he says. "It's what every parent wants of their child. It's what my mom wanted of me, and what I want for my kids.
"It's those around us who motivate us to be iconic. Places like the Boys & Girls Club helped me be that icon I am today. 'Be Iconic' is not just about status, it's about what you choose to care about. What you give your time, attention and focus to."
For Usher, being a dad is a top priority – and something he looks forward to celebrating on Father's Day. "I wish it was celebrated like Mother's Day. I mean, really ... who's opening doors for me?" he jokes. "But I will be spending it with my kids and being around them always makes me happy."

Avoiding Santa Clara v. Martinez: The Litigation in Federal Court of Civil Actions Under the Indian Civil Rights Act
Kevin Gover
Arizona State University (ASU) - Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
Robert Laurence
University of Arkansas
Hamline Law Review, Vol. 8, p. 497, 1985
While Santa Clara Pueblo v. Martinez precisely holds that the Indian Civil Rights Act (ICRA) does not create, either expressly or by implication, a federal civil cause of action upon which a suit in federal court might be based for violation of its guarantees and it might appear that the issue is closed and civil actions under the ICRA would be brought in tribal court for final determination, but the combination of eager plaintiffs, clever attorneys and receptive judges has kept the ICRA alive in federal court. This article discusses those cases in which Martinez has been avoided and a federal court sets itself to the task of inspecting and potentially restricting tribal activity. It addresses the jurisdictional question involved in those cases, while glancing at the merits. It also discusses each of the Martinez-avoidance devices which have been attempted, both successfully and unsuccessfully, and their interplay. Additionally, it looks at the theoretical basis and practical impact of each device and concludes that these devices are not within the spirit, if even the letter, of Martinez.

BELOIT - West Branch and United each entered Thursday night's mach-up with one loss each knowing that just one would leave that way in a spotlight non-conference contest that featured two of the area's premier girls teams.
After getting out to a fast start, West Branch weathered a gritty comeback attempt from the Lady Golden Eagles en route to a 58-45 victory.
"We knew we were going to be in for a battle," West Branch head coach Walt DeShields said. "United is a good team they are a senior dominated team and there's a reason that they were 8-1 coming in."
United dug themselves in a hole early and struggled with scoring the basketball throughout much of the first quarter. The Lady Golden Eagles first basket didn't come until the five-minute mark of the opening frame. United was only able muster just eight points in the first, three of which from Logan Gatchel's 3-pointer with just over two minutes left.
"Credit to them, they didn't quit," DeShields said. "I mean they were on the road at our place and they could've very easily given up and they didn't."
West Branch didn't take long to build up a double-digit lead. The Lady Warriors went on a 7-0 run from the opening tip before Sam Spitler ended the rally. West Branch kept shooting, as Brittany Bryte knocked down a trio of 3-pointers to stake the Lady Warriors out to a 19-8 advantage after one quarter.
Fact Box
UNITED SCORING: Emily Zehentbauer 2-2-7, Sam Spitler 4-2-10, Mackenzie Gatchel 1-0-3, Cassidy Yoder 0-2-2, Mollie Phillis 0-0-0, Courtney Hydrick 1-8-10, Tara Gray 5-0-11, Allison Parks 1-0-2. TEAM TOTALS: 14, 14-18, 45.
WEST BRANCH SCORING: Brittany Bryte 5-1-14, Melinda Trimmer 4-1-9, Pavin Heath 4-0-9, Amanda Linhart 6-1-13, Taryn Hahn 4-5-13, Erica Johnson 0-0-0, Lea Bock 0-0-0. TEAM TOTALS: 23, 8-20, 58.
THREE POINTERS: United 3 (Gray, Zehentbauer, Gatchel), West Branch 3 (Bryte 3, Heath).
"We liked our start first quarter, and we came out and we played pretty well," DeShields said. "Brittany (Bryte) stepped up and made some shots, Taryn Hahn and Amanda Linhart came through. We were able to get some other girls involved."
Bryte finished with 14 points on the evening. Amanda Linhart and Taryn Hahn each added 13.
The Lady Warriors continued to pile up points in the second, going on a 14-6 run over the first four minutes forcing United coach Sam Mathias to call a timeout.
United came out of the timeout and went on a 10-3 run to close out the half to cut their 19 point deficit to 12 heading into the locker room.
"They caused us some problems with our dribble drive and with getting some open looks but I think as the game wore on we showed some patience," DeShields said.
West Branch made use of a zone on the defensive end of the floor through much of the first half, forcing United to settle for more outside shots. Once the Eagles began working the ball inside the paint, the scoring began to pick up.
"We tried to do some different things on defense but they did a pretty good job of going to their strengths," DeShields said. "We didn't take that away and the girls aren't very happy about that performance defensively."
The Eagles and Lady Warriors played even through much of the third quarter, with both teams trading baskets. However, United was able to slowly and continuously chip away to work their deficit to nine points on a pair of free-throws from Courtney Hydrick.
"We really weren't playing like we had the lead, we were playing like we were behind and were taking a lot of quick shots," DeShields said.
As the fourth quarter unfolded, West Branch refocused on quality possessions with each trip down the floor. Though the Lady Warriors boast an 8-1 record, they are a young team featuring just two seniors and still have much to learn.
"I think we were just playing too fast with the lead," DeShields said. "We're young so we're still learning those lessons."
Emily Zehentbauer knocked down a straight-away 3-pointer to bring the score to 51-43, but that is as close as the Eagles would come as West Branch pulled away with an 8-2 run over the final minutes.
"I thought we got some good stops in the fourth quarter when we really needed them," DeShields said. "Not so much in the second or third, but in the fourth quarter we got them when we needed them and we were strong with the basketball when we needed to be."
Being strong with the basketball allowed West Branch to hold the edge in rebounding at 21-20. Pavin Heath pulled down six rebounds for West Branch. Hydrick also recorded six rebounds for the Lady Golden Eagles. Getting to the free-throw line wasn't much of a problem for West Branch, it was converting on the opportunities that became an achilles heel for the Lady Warriors. West Branch was just 8-for-20 from the charity stripe all night.
"We didn't shoot the ball from the free-throw line particularly well, and that is something our girls are upset," DeShields said. "They want to really work on because they know in bigger games as the season goes on that free throws will have a lot to do with it."
West Branch also won the jayvee game 37-25. Kaylee Manning led West Branch with 16 points while Lauren Martig poured in 13.
Morgan Smith and Sydney Moats each paced United with six points.
West Branch (8-1) hosts Minerva (8-1) Saturday.
United (8-2) travels to Beaver Local.

Ask yourself which bits you would like if you were the learner. I never liked reading aloud as a learner or teacher, so that part, where they read the same thing over and over could be changed to allow more chance for them to participate.
I usually teach my classes in the following manner and I feel this method is terribly inadequate, especially with advanced students. Please review and comment on my method, and if possible make book and article reading recommendations, items you have personally found useful in your teaching. I don't care for theory. I need techniques. I'm really sceptical of language teaching theories.
I teach at the college level. The students are expected to learn enough English to be able to read texts in their own fields. Usually, they pass three or four English courses at college, with the first two focused on general English, and the later courses focused on ESP with respect to their own fields of specialty.
First, I read the text aloud for the students to listen for pronunciation, and explain the meaning of new words in Persian. Then ask students to read the text aloud one by one. Usually each student reads one paragraph and then I ask reading comprehension and vocabulary questions and they are expected to answer in English. Then we do exercises, I ask questions and give explanations as needed.
I feel this method is terribly inadequate and boring. I want to add variety and interest to my work.
Ask yourself which bits you would like if you were the learner. I never liked reading aloud as a learner or teacher, so that part, where they read the same thing over and over could be changed to allow more chance for them to participate.
One (rather over-simplified) method:
1. Get the learners to read the passage to themselves. Then get them to work in small groups to come up with a sentence or two in English, saying what the passage is about. This will tell you if they have understood the passage in general terms. If their sentences show that they haven't got the general idea, then the passage was too difficult for them.
[If the your idea is to teach the learners new vocabulary, then it is better to do this before you attempt a reading exercise.]
2. Give them a list of questions to answer that will demonstrate more detailed comprehension. Give them the questions before they read the passage for a second time - you are checking comprehension, not memory.
You may or may not wish them to work in groups on this.
[Note: If you wish them to demonstrate understanding of sentences such as "Frank suddenly pulled Mary towards him and tried to kiss her passionately. Mary slapped Frank's face and stomped off", ask questions such as:
Do you think Frank fancied Mary? Why do you think this?
Was Mary happy with what Frank did. How do you know?
Would you like to be slapped? Why/Why not?
Describe a situation which might cause you to stomp off.
Do not ask them questions such as:
Who pulled Mary towards him?
Who did Frank pull towards him?
How did Frank try to kiss Mary?
What did Mary do to Frank first?
What did Mary do after she had slapped him?
Such questions can be answered correctly even if the learners do not really understand what the crucial words mean*.]
3. Get the learners to highlight words that they still don't understand and, in groups, discuss in English, what they could mean. Then get groups to report back to the whole class, and discuss what they have come up with.
4. (If appropriate:) Give each group a short sentence containing what you think might be problem words/phrases from the passage, and ask them to translate them into Persian. Get the groups to report back to the class, and discuss the accuracy of the translations.
Reading aloud has, in my opinion, very limited value indeed.
Using a reading passage to teach vocabulary has, in my opinion, very limited value.
* To see what I mean, read this sentence and answer the questions that follow it:
A Snerdle torqued through a grundy grot.
1. What torqued through a grundy grot?
2. How did the snerdle make its way through the grundy grot?
3. Did the snerdle torque into the grundy grot? If your answer is 'no', what did it do?
4. Did the snerdle beksevate into the grundy grot? If your answer is 'no', what did it do?
5. What sort of grot was it?
6. Was the snerdle grundy? If your answer is 'no', what was grundy?
7. What part of speech (noun, verb, djective, etc) are the fllowing words: snerdle, torqued, grundy, grot.
78 What tense is 'torqued'.
You probably got all the answers right. You still don't know what the words 'snerdle', torqued, 'grundy' and 'grot' mean. So, it was a pointless exercise.
Great comment. Thank you so much. I'm going to try your ideas.
It's better to have students use English, not read English. They could have done the work you did by listening to the tape and looking up the dictionary. I think you may choose some topic, have students prepare for it and interpret their ideas with the aid of PPT.
Listening to a tape is hardly developing reading skills. Teaching learners to use a dictionary effectively is useful. However, in a reading lesson, it is useful to introduce learners to the idea of gist comprehension, and to help them guess the general meaing of words from context.They could have done the work you did by listening to the tape and looking up the dictionaryWhat do you mean by 'PPT'?I think you may choose some topic, have students prepare for it and interpret their ideas with the aid of PPT.
Are you teaching ESP or General English? Clearly there is a huge difference in methods and expectations for both. Some great suggestions are offered in this thread for general classes, however ESP is a very specialised, specific to each field type of learning and requires an equally specialised approach.

Hi there!
It sounds like you are teaching students in Persia? I'm really wanting to teach in Persia!! As one teacher commented, there are a lot of different techniques to teach students, and well, it depends on what type of student you are teaching. Most of my experience is with Asians; however, I've taught about 20 or so Persians. I really like teaching them because they are (from my experience) very intelligent, thoughtful and serious about learning.
So, your basic method was sound. I mean, of course, right? You just need to spice it up. Do you believe it's boring because a student told you? Maybe someone sighed, or they yawned? Maybe your class seems "dead?" Well, does someone want to be "in charge" of the energy? From my experience with some ethnic groups, unless you are allowing a student to be the center of the show, they kill a class. I've seen this happen over and over. So remember, some classes will just be dead. You could do the same thing with a different class and everything would be great. Who is the dominate student in the class, are they a downer? You just need to have different techniques in your bag of tricks, and you need to know exactly why the class isn't responding to you.
Personally, I have a dynamic style, which means that I sit down in class for about five percent of the class. I also use animated gestures, move around a lot, smile, and try to interweave a few stories, current events or humor (dangerous) into the lesson. I give them a little "song and dance." Again, this doesn't always work with very "serious" students. If I can, I bring in something to show them....for example, one chapter dealt with collecting things. I brought in a collection of coins and passed them around.
If you don't have that, well, try this. Oh, I realize that students COULD do reading at home, but in my experience, most students won't, so unfortunately, you have to do a lot of that in the actual class time. So, I put them in pairs. I pick the pairs, trying to find the high level with high level, low with low. Shy with shy, or mix it up etc. While they are reading, I monitor (move around the class) and help them with some vocabulary words. I find the ones that most of the class doesn't know, put them on the board, or have a student(s) put them on the board.......you might have each group find two words that they don't know, give each group a marker and have them go to the board when they come across the words. Most "bored" classes sit a lot and don't move around the room. People think that "serious" means you sit. You can have fun, move around, laugh and smile but still be serious about making real progress.
The highs will finish quickly. For them, I'm ready with the normal comprehension questions of who did what, when where etc. and what does "x" mean. This is still part of ESL/ESP teaching at every level. However, for these students, give them the more open ended questions like the one teacher proposed like, what do you think, how do you think they felt, why do you think they did that.....etc. That way, the High's won't be so bored. Be careful though, don't let them just have conversations about randomness. You still have to monitor. Give lot's of "hmm....that's interesting.....I didn't think of that.....etc." Make sure that you are spending time with each group. Actually, sometimes I will be at one group, but really listening to the group behind me. So, when I go over there, I know more about what's going on. Also, if you know the client well, you will be able to make the information more meaningful to them.....like....oh, these words are good for you because you are in "x" job. Ah, I heard this last night on the radio. Life is more alive when it has meaning.
For the lows, they might just get to the general 'wh' questions...that's okay....that's what they are there for....progress. Putting them in partners allows them to make different paces, which breaks up the "boring" teacher/class atmosphere. Also, you can get them to switch partners mid way etc. Get them to stand up a little and get their blood pumping. Some bored classes are that way because students feel left out, just passively listening. Movement and being responded to gives them motivation to work more.
How old are the students? What is their educational background? Why are they in school....I mean....why are the REALLY in school. What are their goals, in school, work, life? Knowing your client allows you to move the topics in a way that relates to them more, which usually gives them more interest. Don't get too personal though....you know....keep it Teacher/Student. Don't try to hard to do it. It has to be natural....like you care about them and they are important. Some people can do that easily, others seem to be reading from a script. (And after teaching 3,000 plus students, well, I DO get tired of talking about Sushi). Don't be invasive to find out about their personal lives......finding the right balance of knowing who they are is something to learn....but, this is one of the reasons I never get bored teaching English. The people are always different, and finding ways to connect the knowledge to their lives makes MY mind work. If I am bored, they most certainly will be.
Hope this helps. You might ask others about the "being personal" part. That could be dangerous if you don't naturally have that ability.

SALEM - Egli's Discount Market at 281 W. 4th St. will offer a delivery service beginning Thursday, according to co-owner Evan Egli.
Egli said, "Customers can call into the store at 330-337-3311 and tell us their grocery list.
"We will put the order together and call them back with a final total. Then we will deliver it to the house."
Egli said the service is for anyone and delivery will be limited to Perry Township for now.
""We're looking to expand it later," he said, "depending on interest."
Delivery times will be from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day, Monday through Saturday as the store is closed on Sundays.
Egli said the service came about after they posted the idea on the business Facebook page.
"The response was really good," he said. "They responded."
Customers will be asked the method of payment when the order is made, Egli said.
"We will deliver anywhere in Perry Township with a $3 delivery charge and a $12 minimum order.
Egli's Discount Market has added Walnut Creek food items, fresh produce and Dairymen's milk products and will add Hersey ice cream products at the end of February or or in early March.

It took Stetson's Mallory Viera a little extra work on Wednesday afternoon, but the soon-to-be Hatter senior delivered in the clutch to capture the 84th Florida State Women's Amateur Championship at the Vero Beach Country Club.
Viera defeated Yuanru Yin, of Orlando, in the final match of the tournament, but it took two extra holes to earn the title. Only after an errant second shot out of bounds on a par 5 second hole left Yin with no chance, did she concede the title to Viera.
"My first and last round of match play were the hardest because I went to the 20th holes both times," Viera said. "The other three matches I won 4 up.
"In the final match, we were back and forth all day and we went into extra holes before she hit it out of bounds on the 20th hole. I was right in front of the green on a par 5 so she conceded the match."
Viera got off to a hot start in the championship match, taking an early lead with a birdie on the par 5 second hole only to see Yin drain a six-foot birdie putt on the third hole to square the match. After halving holes four through eight, Yin won the 9th hole to take a 1up lead into the final nine holes of play.
After losing the 10th hole with a bogey, Viera bounced back with birdies on holes 11 and 13 to square the match. On hole 16, Yin regained a 1 up lead by making par, but a costly three putt bogey on the par three 17th hole once again squared the match heading to the difficult 18th hole.
It was only fitting that both players made great par saves on the 18th hole to send the match to extra holes.
On the 19th hole, Viera and Yin both found the trees off the tee but recovered nicely to make pars and send the match to what turned out to be the deciding 20th hole, a reachable par 5. After both players hit great tee shots, Viera went for the green in two, but had her shot just end up short on the front edge. Yin was forced to try to pull off a great second shot, but hit out of bounds to end the match.
It was the first state title for Viera, who joined a list of great champions to have won this prestigious event. That list includes former Hatter Alexandra Buelow, who won the same title in 2009.
"It is really awesome that we have had two players win this event in the last five years," Hatters coach Floyd Kerr said. "I am also proud of Mallory because she also qualified to play in the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links Championship along with Sammi Smith next week."
Viera qualified for that event, which will be held June 17-22 at the Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club, in Norman, Oklahoma, with a one-under par round of 71 at the Links at Boynton Beach.
Viera credited another one of her Stetson teammates for assisting her in winning the Match Play title.
"It was great having a teammate on the bag," Viera said. "Ryan Ashburn and I play a similar style, so we were a great team."
Viera will depart for Oklahoma on Saturday in search of another summer championship.

|Nice break down unit
Jun 6, 2011 7:05 AM
|Papa Claus from Round Rock, Texas would recommend this to a friend.
|A Little About Myself
Late 50's with nerve damage in feet. Still working thanks to this mobility scooter.
|Easy to break down. Compact design makes for easy use in limited space. The XR Model will run all day on the sales floor with capacity to walk dog to park at night. Easy to operate.
|The key Should be located where it won't be hit. It's current location seems to snag all time and even walking dog with leash can be problem. In work environments, the key, always gets in way when picking up or moving items. I would also like to turn battery back up light off or be able to dim it when walking the dog at night. The seat needs thicker padding for better support during long days of travel. Thicker arm pads would be nice, as well.
|This is my first scooter and I've been very happy with it. I ride this unit eight hours a day. Great unit for the cost, highly recommended.

Justin Timberlake had already cemented a killer comeback to the pop stratosphere with part 1 of The 20/20 Experience, which, since being released in March, has become the bestselling album of 2013.
So he didn't need to do anything else but take his show on the road this year (his solo tour starts Oct. 31). But this sequel – recorded during the same sessions as the first installment, with the same producers (Timbaland and Jerome "J-Roc" Harmon) – isn't just the collection of leftovers that it could have been.
It stands as a stellar set in its own right. Although it can't top its more challenging, cohesive predecessor – a few songs run too long, and a couple maybe could have been dropped – this more singles-driven disc actually has more to satisfy fans of Justified and FutureSex/LoveSounds.
The latter, in particular, lives in the spacey beats of more uptempo tracks like "True Blood," which takes "LoveStoned" into "Thriller" territory.
Other highlights include the two rap collaborations: the Drake-assisted "Cabaret," with its swinging swagger, and "Murder," a beast of a jam with Jay Z that slays both "Suit & Tie" and "Holy Grail."
The freshest cut, though, is "Drink You Away," a guitar-riffing, organ-rocking shot of heartbreak.

I didn't get to listen to the original presentation but just listened to the audio recording accompanying powerpoint slides.
This was really well done and is backed up by a written document ASH 2011 Summaries of MM Presentatins. I really like the format of correlating ASH results with the IMF's 10 STEPS TO BETTER CARE.
I'd recommend all MM patients and caregivers listen and view these materials for a better understanding of current MM treatment options and future directions.

Watch 1980s video clip of WWUH in the News!
When the University of Hartford was incorporated just over 50 years ago by business and community leaders, they envisioned a center of education and culture for Greater Hartford. At its core, it would be a university for the community created by the community.
The University has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Hartford's last remaining farm, evolving from a local school for commuters into a comprehensive university that attracts students from throughout the world. Yet it remains true to its original mission of serving as a valued resource for individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout the Hartford region, offering hundreds of programs that serve the University and its neighbors every day. For over 45 years listener supported WWUH has served an important role in the University's community service mission.
New World Notes - Dispatches from the War on Christmas
This week on New World Notes: radio program #302, Tuesday, December 17, 2013, from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m. (and again on Wednesday from 8:30 to 9:00 p.m.), host Kenneth Dowst takes a mostly lighthearted look at the right wing's favorite fantasy: which is that "secular progressives" have declared a "war on Christmas"--part of their larger war to destroy Christianity, legalize narcotics, prostitution, gay marriage, etc., etc.
We'll hear ravings by Bill O'Reilly, a funny rebuttal by Jon Stewart, personal reflections by K.D., and a short history lesson. (The only real wars on Christmas were fought by the Puritans.) We end with selections from a fine comic audio collage on the subject by Scooter.
New World Notes reaches California. The show is now carried by nonprofit, community-supported station WGIG-FM 104.9 in Modesto. Broadcast days and times vary.
WHUS 91.7 (Storrs, CT) has changed its program schedule. The station now broadcasts New World Notes on Thursdays at 10 AM. See the complete schedule.
New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "nihil obstat") of WWUH-FM, a community service of the University of Hartford.
You can listen to any installment of New World Notes online or else download it (as an mp3 audio file) for later listening. The show is archived at both A-Infos Radio Project and (from #90 onwards) the Internet Archive. Either link should get you a reverse-chronological listing of available installments. Or browse the show's Web site: Each installment has a page; each page has links to the recorded audio; and a handy table of contents will quickly find the installment you want.

More than at any time in its three-decade gestation, an interchange on Highway 20/49 at Dorsey Drive in Grass Valley is looking close to delivery.
Grass Valley leaders and longtime supporters are pushing for construction of a sixth interchange in town to start quickly, and Nevada County officials are watching with interest.
A freeway interchange at Dorsey would provide easier access to Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital, Nevada Union High School and Sierra College, supporters said. It also would provide access for the planned Loma Rica Ranch housing development east of town and open the area between Dorsey Drive and Idaho-Maryland Road to commercial development.
Ed Sylvester served on the Nevada County Transportation Commission in the 1980s, and on the California Transportation Commission in the 1990s. That whole time, he watched the project flounder as government entities pulled in different directions.
"Political interests were different at that time. There wasn't a clear idea as to who's project it was," Sylvester said. "The county wanted the city to take it over, and the city was in no position to move it forward. There was no agreement in terms of funding."
City officials recently have taken steps to move the project forward, including pledging more than $5 million in redevelopment funds to Dorsey at a City Council meeting this week, and taking steps to protect that money from state seizure to close California's budget shortfall.
"It's going to benefit the entire community," said Grass Valley Mayor Jan Arbuckle. "It can help to promote more businesses coming to Grass Valley. For me, though, access to the hospital is the No. 1 motivating factor."
The Nevada County Transportation Commission has secured a commitment from the state to fund $10.5 million of the project's estimated $18.5 million cost in 2012-2013. Officials with the commission and city hope to start the project sooner by completing the work in phases to take advantage of construction costs that have dropped due to the ongoing recession.
Urgency in building the project is key, Sylvester said.
"Now is the time to go after it," Sylvester said. "There seems to be an alignment we haven't seen in a long time, and that money could go away, so I think they should act quickly."
County Transportation Commission members are expected to discuss the project at a meeting starting at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 26, at
Grass Valley City Hall, 125 E. Main St., downtown.
Two of the committee's seven members are Nevada County Supervisors Nate Beason and Ed Scofield - and both support the city as the lead agency on the project, they said.
"I certainly do endorse the project conceptually," Scofield said. "I'm a little concerned that there are some questions that we should answer first, because it is moving ahead pretty quickly, but I'm certainly in favor of the project."
Scofield didn't specify what questions were left to be answered on the project. The transportation commission is looking into further funding for the project, Executive Director Dan Landon said recently.
Nevada County Supervisor Terry Lamphier, who's District 3 includes Grass Valley, has publicly and actively opposed the project in the past, but is now taking a listen-and-learn approach, he said.
Lamphier was recently appointed to an ad-hoc committee that focuses on the interchange. The committee is charged with advising the city and county on construction of the project.
"My position, as it stands right now, is to go forward and listen to all the available information," Lamphier said. "At first, it looked to me like the taxpayers would be subsidizing an interchange" for commuters from Loma Rica Ranch.
That development, originally praised for its green design, could promote living in Grass Valley while commuting outside of the area, made easy with a Dorsey interchange, Lamphier said. That misses the point of trying to reduce the carbon footprint of residents, as more commuting could offset benefits offered by clustered housing and green spaces, Lamphier said.
"It's only later that the argument for Dorsey seemed to revolve around access to the hospital," Lamphier said. "What I would like to see is a meaningful study on (whether) it would improve access to the hospital. I would need to see a compelling case to have the Dorsey interchange built.
"I also recognize that my district is Grass Valley, and the leaders of Grass Valley want the Dorsey interchange," Lamphier added. "I have to take it seriously."
Though the project has cleared environmental impact studies required by the state, Arbuckle expects further studies on the potential benefits of the project, specifically to the hospital, to come forward, she said.

Getting the right tips
By WaterGuy
from Hideaway, TX
First of all, I love my pen. I'm one of those people who likes to make sure I have extras for the just in case happens. I had just ordered my pen and wanted extra tips. Not looking, I ordered the soft cloth tips, which don't fit my pen. I called to return, but the staff, said don't worry about it, we will ship you the right tips at no cost. I was IMPRESSED!!! Looks like I will have to order the pen that holds the soft tip. You can never not have too many great pens.... Thanks Levenger
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Was Loose on Pen Arrival.
By GaryH
from Hamilton, Montana
The stylus was loose on arrival and did not work well the first try. Alter I figured out the problem everything worked smoothly with no sticking. The rubber handles the heaver brass pen body well and does not flatten to far. I am not sure why I waited to get this cap on a new rollerball pen. I love it now.
Soft tip
By Chaos
from Manchester, WA
Mine is on the L-tech ballpoint pen. The original tip split after fairly short use although I used it the same way I was using another brand stylus I'd used for months and remains in good shape. I did notice that the screw part comes loose and the tip wobbles which may have helped cause the split. Frequently check the tip to make sure it is secure. Very much like the soft tip which will not harm the screen and also like the weight of the ballpoint pen. I would recommend this product but be sure to keep the screw tip tight.
suggested improvement
By whydoyoumakemedothis
from Undisclosed
It is great that thees replacement tips are available, as they do wear out with use. It would be even better if a fabric mess replacement were made available as those tips generally have a smoother feel than a rubber stylus.
Best stylus I have used
By Ubie
I have tried various styli for the ipad, and this one is easily my favorite. Add to that the fact that it is attached to a great pen, and you can't lose! 5 stars for the product as well as Levenger's quick turnaround time.
Best Rubber Stylus out there
By DCOO
from Michigan
I#ll tried many of these, but this Rubber Stylus is the best I ran into, it is pretty easy to use and just slides wonderful and accurate.The Pen is not a bad Pen, but a bit heavy, I am alway afraid that it will fall out of my Hand and break my Ipad.It would be great if Levenger would put a True Writer Ballpoint with Rubber Stylus on the Market, perfect for these would be the Slim Writer, which you guys had in the Past.
Merchant response: Thank you for your feedback. Our product manager will be happy to hear this suggestion; I've submitted it for review.

The treatment of
often requires several interventions in your child's environments in order to improve the ability to function. Guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics and other organizations encourage doctors to work as a team with family and school or work personnel. Together, you can set realistic treatment and performance goals and evaluate your child's response in every area of activity.
Properly selected and closely administered medications have generated life-changing results in children with ADHD. However, there are many issues to consider when you begin drug treatment. Issues include the difficulty of diagnosing accurately, the ability and willingness to adhere to a strict treatment and medication regimen, and the addicting potential of some of the medications. Medications are usually beneficial and well tolerated. However, it is also important to use behavioral and lifestyle interventions.

The True Cost of College
Americans have become acutely aware of the cost of attending college in the past few years. According to popular essay writing service, online tutors and essay writing rates had been rising faster than household income even before the recession. Post-recession, income is harder to come by, savings have dwindled, and university endowments, the pool of donations that often fund professorships and scholarships, have shrunk. In a 2009 survey, 70 percent of prospective college students responded that they were changing their college plans as the result of the recession. 24 percent of students considering private colleges said they were more likely to choose a public one. 16 percent of families cited cost as the factor "most likely [to] dictate their decision." Whether cost is the primary factor or a lesser one, the fact remains that a substantial portion of students are forgoing the best education available to them because of financial concerns.Read more

That was so sweet. I wonder how long Clark will nurse. I honestly have no idea!ReplyDelete
I love it, Stephanie. I weaned Ella abruptly at 25 months during the hectic travel we were doing when we lost Hannah this summer. We were both so sad about it. She is still asking to nurse and she still remembers the comfort she got from it. I think extended nursing is a relationship that no one can understand unless they have experienced it. It is so frustrating when people suggest the mom is forcing it for her own personal emotional needs.ReplyDelete
Congrats to both of you! And I hear you on wanting to burn the nursing bras. :-)
I tried to leave this comment over there, but it kept telling me I was spam. I am not spam! Gosh, darn it! Anyway...ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing your story. I have been needing some encouragement. I want to go past one year but have hit a rough patch now that my baby is 9 months. (teeth!) Also, I have started worrying about what other people think. Thanks for reminding me that that should be the last of my worries. Exactly what I needed to hear today!
All hail the NuNu's! ;)ReplyDelete
I say don't listen to other people. You do what is best for you and baby. Only you can make that decision.ReplyDelete
great post. I nursed my first for only 6 months before I got horribly sick with the stomach flu and basically dried up on the spot. My second one now I've been nursing for 5 months and I'm scared something is going to happen like last time. My goal is 12 months right now...ReplyDelete
you give me inspiration. Thanks.
I think it's lovely that Gray still loves his Boo! It's all about what works best for you and your baby!ReplyDelete
Now, if you're telling us in 20 years that Gray still wants his Boo, I'll start to wonder... ;)

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Robert B. Darnell, M.D., Ph.D., took up triathlons over the past year or so, but already has accomplished much, having completed the New York City, Westchester, and New Jersey State Sprint events.
Soon, Dr. Darnell will embark on another kind of running, as new president and scientific director of the New York Genome Center (NYGC), a consortium of academic medical centers. He will oversee NYGC's research efforts, working with founding executive director Nancy J. Kelley, J.D., to fuse the center's genomic science and computational biology expertise.
"More interesting to me is the possibility of merging the science and the clinical together, to really solve some of the problems that have been insoluble up to now, such as complex disorders for which there's no easy answer right now, but I think insights are right around the horizon," Dr. Darnell told GEN.
Dr. Darnell will retain his Rockefeller University post as Robert and Harriet Heilbrunn professor at the Laboratory of Molecular Neuro-oncology with a research focus on paraneoplastic neurologic disorders. He will also remain an investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
Dr. Darnell is very familiar with NYGC; he is a member of its executive board of directors, and served on its founding board two years ago. He got involved with NYGC after concluding it held exciting potential for answers to the problem that has vexed him and molecular biology investigators worldwide—processing and analyzing the torrents of human genome data from high-throughput sequencers.
"If we pool our resources and all do the same thing together, and figure out how to attack this information, we can produce a result that's much greater than the sum of the parts," Dr. Darnell said. "The idea here is to be more than just a genomic service that produces information, although it is an imperative that we produce information in a timely and an extremely high-quality fashion."
NYGC's permanent facility at 101 Avenue of the Americas—under construction and set to begin move-in by May 2013—will feature about 30 next-generation Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencers. The consortium's pilot lab has one HiSeq 2500 and three HiSeq 2000s. The center also has from Life Technologies four Ion Proton sequencers, housed at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
Over time, the consortium plans to grow to 500 staffers—bioinformaticists and sequencing specialists, support staffers, and academic genomicists and computational scientists.
Succeeding at NYGC, Dr. Darnell said, will require at least two qualities needed for success in triathlons: "endurance and grit."
He took up running-swimming-biking events thanks to his wife Jennifer C. Darnell, Ph.D., a Rockefeller research associate professor who focuses on Fragile X syndrome research. Science runs in the family: his father James Darnell is a Lasker Special Achievement Award winner. Her father Eugene H. Cordes was a longtime chemistry faculty member at Indiana University and University of Michigan, with stints at Merck and Eastman Kodak. Her mother Shirley earned a Ph.D. in molecular biology, and the Darnells' daughter, Alicia, is pursuing a molecular and cellular biology Ph.D. at Harvard.
"You get carried on at the end, when you're exhausted, by the humanity around you. I felt it in the New York City triathlon after finishing the swim and the bike ride. Running into Manhattan, and seeing crowds cheering one on, is an experience in joint humanity that was really wonderful."

Bills cornerback Leodis A. McKelvin was ticketed for allegedly failing to comply early Tuesday with the requests of a Delta flight crew on his return flight to Buffalo from LaGuardia International Airport in New York City, according to authorities from the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority.
McKelvin, 27, was asked to turn off his cellular telephone and instructed to put his baggage in an overhead compartment by the crew aboard the morning flight from the Big Apple to Buffalo, but refused to comply, said C. Douglas Hartmayer, director of public affairs for the NFTA.
"Apparently, they repeatedly asked him to do so," Hartmayer said. "He did not comply with the requests of the flight crew."
Hartmayer said the flight crew contacted the NFTA, which operates the airport, and asked police to meet McKelvin at the gate upon arriving in Buffalo to issue him a Notice of Violation for interfering with a flight crew, which they did. The violation carries with it a $75 fine.
Hartmayer said McKelvin, who could not be reached by The Buffalo News for comment, can opt to either pay the fine or appear for a hearing at NFTA headquarters on Main Street.

Kim Kardashian was candid in sharing the first pic of daughter North West just after the 1-year-old took her first steps. But we now know why the wee one was wrapped up in a cozy yellow towel!
After more than a week of daily swim classes alongside mom, North clearly built up some confidence.
"She was so excited to have this apple that she would swim around the pool to get it," Kardashian said with a smile, sitting down with PEOPLE to promote her new line of sunless tanning products, Kardashian Sun Kissed, at ULTA Beauty in L.A. Aug 6.
Turns out North really wanted that apple.
"Then we took her out, and she just walked [her first steps] toward the apple!" Kim, 33, recalls of the moment both she and husband Kanye West, 37, were able to share together. "We were like, 'She walked!' It was so exciting!"
The reality mogul also reflected on her first few months as a newlywed and her first year as a proud mother.
