So true, my ovaries did ache. She is so adorable. Watch it mom, she'll want her own phone now.ReplyDelete

I love her cute little voice. And they way she says her Mimi's names. Just darling. Hope all is well.ReplyDelete
P.S. love your new twitter pic.
My toddler is also in love with the iPhone. Although it makes sense, the big people are rather enamoured, too. ;)ReplyDelete
Luke watched this and expressed his happiness at seeing Ivy, without once mentioning wanting to push her. PROGRESS.ReplyDelete
(p.s. if I get pregnant any time soon, I am blaming you.)
Oh how they ache! My husband is enamored with babies lately (and got a good dose of cuddling with my niece over Thanksgiving, who thinks he is the bees knees!), so I called him to watch too! Now he's mumbling something about wanting one, lol!ReplyDelete
Oh, how precious! Love her little shirt!ReplyDelete
oh that mimi is so lucky to have that recorded!ReplyDelete
Steph, don't you just have to pinch yourself like 50 times a day?
Ivy is simply gorgeous
She is so sweet!ReplyDelete
I'm pretty sure she said Asher the first time you asked her who she was calling... She totally misses him.ReplyDelete
So so cute! :) Love her little giggle and those rosy pink cheeks. :) Everything about her is just precious!ReplyDelete
She is so cute, Steph! I love her little voice. She has so much to say. And yes, there was some aching going on. Thanks for the warning ;)ReplyDelete
my daughter is in love with my iphone as well. When she saw this video she squealed and had to have my phoneReplyDelete
What a little sweet heart! And, side note, love your sheets! so cute!!!ReplyDelete
Yep. They're aching. So sweet. So, so sweet.ReplyDelete
my already-aching ovaries can't take much more of this... :-)ReplyDelete
OK, Asher is going to have some competition...my little guy went crazy watching Ivey!ReplyDelete
Oh, adorable!! Thankfully, my ovaries are not quite aching yet ... because if there were I could quite possibly have a newborn and a 12 month old! lol.ReplyDelete
She is pure sugar! How adorable! I love how she waited till the last minute to really talk to Mimi!ReplyDelete
my goodness, she is the cutest thing EVER!!!!ReplyDelete
It totallys sounds like she says "Ring, Ring!"! I love it!ReplyDelete
I can't believe how much she's talking! And what a precious thing for MiMi to see!
ADORABLE!!! Ivy and my girl would get along great, they both love cell phones!! So cute:)ReplyDelete
My ovaries are SO out of business, however this video did make my heart smile. :DReplyDelete
So cute! :)ReplyDelete
I saw the warning and I didn't heed it! Ache. ACCCCHHHHEEE!!!ReplyDelete

My family calls my grandma "MeMe" as well! Ivy is too cute (and I dig her name-emblazoned shirt!)!ReplyDelete

Hi there! My name is Amanda; I am 31 years old. I live in Texas with my wonderful husband, and my sweet little kitties!
I just love doing creative and crafty things! Ever since I was a little girl, I've always loved being able to make things with my hands. At the moment, I am working in jewelry design, jewelry making, bead embroidery, fabric embroidery, beaded flowers, beaded wirework, sewing, felting, aromatherapy, polymer clay, resin, and hard candy making!
I started out taking jewelry orders from friends and family while I was in high school. Now I participate in several local craft shows and fairs, sell to both local and international boutiques, and just recently published my first craft book! It has been such a fun and exciting experience so far!
I have discovered that most of my creations stem from childhood memories. Or just fun childish fairytale things in general. Wishing stars, princesses, fairies... I just adore all of these things, and I am so happy to find ways to bring them to everyone!

Windows Phone 7 looks AWESOME!!!!
Number ONE!!!!! Go Microsoft GO GO GO!!!!
TED actually means Technology Entertainment and Design. Not Technology, Evolution and Design.
The Minh Bar? Wait a minute. I never authorize this
Also, NEVER tease us w/ a Laura-Paul romance again. Just look at the shows that were ruined when the couples get together:
> Moonlighting
> Northern Exposure
> Remington Steele
(man, I need to watch newer stuff)
Baahh... thanks for correcting me! Hopefully, I'll have a better shot of getting in now!
Happy birthday ping
Laura, with Win Mobile 7 will there be twitter integration?
I'm no native speaker, but Hayden says Hayden Planetarium (www.haydenplanetarium.org), or am I missing the joke?
fyi, Norway (Norwegians) != Netherlands (Dutch)
so laura what is abt tina thing i suggested????
is the title of this post incorrect? It reads Norwegian Google Prank, but Laura says the prank was in the Netherlands?
Hey, another great show. Speaking of the Bill Gates/Digital Universe... I downloaded it and all looks good. I can fly around and such. But what I was hoping for is the same .wf file/path that was used on your Ping video. Would love to see that. I have always wanted the opening scene of Contact as a screen saver. This may be the closest I get.
Ay! 10:14 - 10:22 is HILARIOUS!
I feel the SAME. WAY. Seriously. It's smaller than many a YouTube video or medium length MP3 song. Just install it! What's not to like?
I'm loving the Windows Phone 7 Series news. One thing that I would love to see more of is automated location recognition of phone numbers in my contact list. For instance... there should be an app that allows me to opt in to letting specific people in my contact list get directions to my phone or to let them to allow me to get directions to theirs. For land lines the phone should be able to reverse search the location of that number and get me directions to it without ever doing a dedicated search for that address on whitepages.com or the like. Clearly the privacy issues would have to be solved in such a way that it couldn't be abused to stalk people, but isn't that the sort of problem that Microsoft exists to solve? I also think that it would be great when I've lost my phone to be able to map it from my PC or to tell it to ring from my PC. Laura did an interview back on Channel 10 that ran along some of these lines. I would be so impressed to be able to just pick my brother out of my contact list and click 'get directions' if I want to surprise him with lunch. Also, as mentioned in that interview, it would be great to be able to automatically notify trusted people when you're getting near them.
Laura, the scuba guys in Street View was good for a laugh. Paul, I loved the Contra Code Max lead in, there. Great job of setting Laura up.
I agree.
Also, trying to not sound lame, I wish channel 9 allow the option of thumb-uping and thumb-downing for each individual post, so instead of had requiring me to reply as a comment, pressing a simple thumb up would had been cool.
Are you working on MP4 interoperability?
Awsome, as usual!
- Who's the Boss
- The Nanny
- Murphy Brown
It's just seems to be a tradition with old American sitcoms.
Since Laura is away for the next show, is it time for some payback. Cos I was wonder if she's forgotten about this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDtDyNi_ZyY
Wait... let me be more articulate...
Not sure what the official results are of the Contra/Konami debate, but ThinkGeek has a related T-Shirt branded as "The Konami Code"
Am I the only one who saw a pair of bare female breasts in that Xbox video?
So, now Laura got her silly dancing video just like Paul hahahaha that's mad funny. Muy gracioso.
Expecting a great show today.

Latest Poll . . . Joe Higgins, MEP?
Campaigns matter. I always cite the example of John Major running for re-election as British Prime Minister in 1992. Almost universally written-off, he famously got out his soapbox and went on the hustings in a successful fight to stay in power.

DELAND, Fla. – The Stetson University men's tennis team will close out its 2014 regular season with a match at rival Florida Gulf Coast, Saturday, Apr. 12, at 1 p.m., in Fort Myers.
The Hatters (10-8, 5-2) are winners of four straight, having downed Mercer (4-0), Kennesaw State (5-2), Lipscomb (4-1) and Northern Kentucky (6-1) in consecutive fashion.
The Eagles enter the contest, like Stetson, on a four-match win streak, having beaten four straight A-Sun opponents. FGCU is 10-9 on the season and holds a 1-5 conference mark, but they have not beaten the Hatters in their six previous attempts, dating back to the 2008 season.
"FGCU has been playing very well this year," associate head coach Christophe Noblet said. "As far as conference standings go, both teams have the same record and have beaten as well as lost to the same opponents, so undoubtedly this should be a close match."
Last season Stetson edged the Eagles 4-3 at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center in DeLand, and the last time these two schools met up at the FGCU Tennis Complex was in 2012, with Stetson winning 5-2.
"Even though we would like to play our last match of the regular season at home, the team is looking forward to traveling together," Noblet added. "Our chemistry is excellent, and the most recent road trip really brought the players closer together."
For those fans not making the trip to Ft. Myers, they can follow @StetsonTennis on Twitter and sign up for Hat-Alerts, the athletic department's official text messaging system for match updates, or log onto gohatters.com for the post-match recap.

Q: Am I eligible for financial aid?
A: You must be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen, such as a Resident Alien, with a valid Social Security Number, be enrolled or admitted to degree or certificate program, have a high school diploma or recognized equivalent, such as a GED, be registered with Selective Service, if required, be making Satisfactory Academic Progress if previously enrolled, and not be in default on prior student loans to qualify for federal student aid.
Q: How do I apply for financial aid?
A: You only have to complete the FAFSA to be considered for financial aid at Moore College of Art & Design. Some colleges require a supplemental application. Additional forms are needed if you want to borrow loans, participate in the Federal Work Study program, or have been selected for verification. The college sends instructions for completing these forms.
Q: What does FAFSA stand for?
A: FAFSA stands for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. It is the form colleges and universities use to determine your eligibility for federal, state, and, in some cases, institutional aid.
Q: Where can I get a copy of the FAFSA?
A: You are encouraged to apply online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. The online application is faster and more accurate. Additionally, you may be able to transfer tax information directly from the IRS into your FAFSA online using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool. If you are unable to apply online, you should call the Federal Aid Processor at 1-800-433-3243 to request a paper copy.
Q: When should I apply for financial aid?
A: You should apply as early as possible after January 1st for the upcoming school year. Moore's deadline is March 1st.
Q: Can I apply if I've already missed the March 1st deadline?
A: Yes, the March 1st deadline is used to determine eligibility for some types of institutional and federal aid, such as Federal Work Study. If you want to receive any financial aid, you should file the FAFSA as soon as possible, even if you have missed the March 1st deadline. For Pennsylvania residents, PHEAA has a May 1st deadline for determining state grant eligibility.
Q: Do I have to be admitted before I can apply for financial aid?
A: No, if you are applying for admission to Moore, you should submit their FAFSA by March 1st to be considered for the maximum amount of aid even if you have not yet been admitted. You will receive a financial aid award letter after you have been admitted.
Q: Can I apply if I haven't filed my taxes yet?
A: Yes, you should use your best estimates to complete the FAFSA by the deadline even if you haven't yet filed your taxes. Once your taxes are filed, you can log into the FAFSA to update any data that has changed. If you file taxes electronically, you are able to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to update your tax information about three weeks after completing your taxes. If you file taxes by mail, you can use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool about eight weeks after filing your taxes.
Q: Should I apply if I think my family makes too much money?
A: Yes, there are sources of aid such as Unsubsidized Direct Loans and PLUS Loans that are available regardless of need. Additionally, if your family experiences a change in circumstances (such as the loss of job or other income, divorce, separation, or death of a parent), the Financial Aid staff can re-evaluate your need; however, a FAFSA is required. The FAFSA is free, and you are not obligated to take any aid you don't want. However, a school cannot determine your eligibility or process federal aid unless you have completed the FAFSA.
Q: Do I have to re-apply every year?
A: Yes, because circumstances can change, you must complete the FAFSA by March 1st each year you wish to receive financial aid. If you complete the FAFSA online, then much of the information will be pre-populated in subsequent years. You will only need to update household, income, and asset information as well as any information that has changes from the prior year.
Q: Whose information is needed for the FAFSA?
A: Information about you and, if married, your spouse is required. If you are a dependent student, you also must provide parental data.
Q: My parents are divorced- do I have to provide information about both parents?
A: You should provide information about the parent with whom you lived with most during the twelve month period prior to completing the FAFSA. If you did not live with one parent more than the other, then you should provide information about the parent who provided the most financial support during the twelve month period prior to completing the FAFSA.
Q: Does my step-parent have to provide information on the FAFSA?
A: If your parent whose information is reported on the FAFSA has re-married as of the date you file the FAFSA, then yes, your step-parent's income and asset information must be included on the FAFSA.
Q: How do I know if I am dependent or independent?
A: The FAFSA contains a series of yes or no questions that determine if you are dependent or independent for financial aid purposes. If you answer "yes" to any of the questions, then you are considered independent, and if you answer "no" to all of the questions, then you are considered dependent for financial aid.
Q: What is PHEAA?
A: PHEAA, which stands for Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency, is the agency that administers the state grant program for Pennsylvania residents. To be considered for a PHEAA State Grant, you should file your FAFSA by May 1st.
Q: What different types of aid are there?
A: Scholarships are a form of aid based on academic, artistic, or other merit. Grants are a form of aid based on financial need. Scholarships and grants are gift aid, which means they do not have to be paid back; they are free money! Loans and work study are forms of self-help aid. Loans have to be repaid, generally after you graduate or drop below half-time enrollment. Work study is aid you earn by working on campus. There are also some off-campus community service-type work opportunities available.
Q: When I submitted my FAFSA, it said my Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is zero. Does that mean I won't have to pay for college?
A: No, the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is an index that college financial aid offices use to determine the types and amounts of aid you are eligible for. You may have to pay more than your EFC, or you may pay less. Rarely would you pay exactly the EFC indicated on your FAFSA.
Q: I got a scholarship from my high school or some other outside organization- should I tell the Financial Aid Office at my college?
A: Yes, there is a limit to the total amount of aid you can receive, including outside scholarships. Sometimes, outside scholarships reduce the amount you have to pay out of pocket or through loans. Often, outside scholarships have no impact on the aid awarded by the Financial Aid Office. Occasionally, outside scholarships impact grant or scholarship aid awarded by the college. The Financial Aid Office will inform you if your aid changes upon notification of an outside scholarship.
Q: What's the most important thing I should know about the financial aid process?
A: Complete all forms as early and as accurately as possible. Never pay to apply for financial aid or a scholarship. If you have questions, ask the Financial Aid staff. Be sure to enter your name and Social Security Number exactly as they appear on your Social Security Card.
Q: I was asked to write a thank you letter to my scholarship donor, how do I submit it on-line to Financial Aid?
A: You may access the form to submit your thank you letter on-line here. If you need help ensuring that you letter is clear, concise, and free of errors, please contact Steve Scaduto, Director of Educational Support Services & The Writer's Studio in Stahl Hall by calling 215-965-4062 or emailing email@example.com.

EAST PALESTINE - Village Council is expecting to adopt a 2013 budget that cuts spending by $250,000.
The proposed 2013 budget working its way through council for approval would reduce overall spending from $5 million this year to $4.75 million in 2013, with the bulk of the cuts occurring in the non-general fund spending.
"Expenses are down to bare bones," said Village Fiscal Office Traci Thompson during this week's council meeting, when the proposed budget was approved on second reading. It will be passed on third and final reading at council's next meeting.
Proposed spending for the general fund departments - police, fire, fiscal officer and village manager - will remain about the same at a combined $1.49 million, which means the cuts as a group will mostly fall on the other operations, such as water, sewer and parks. The street department operates outside the general fund but its budget has been increased under the 2013 budget.
Thompson also reported the general fund will likely end 2012 with a $100,000 carry-over balance, which would be down significantly from the $217,000 carry over from the year before.
"We're making it through, but we're optimistic about 2013" if the village can avoid any unexpected expenses like the ones incurred this year, said village Manager Pete Monteleone, adding they continue to work on coming up with ways to maximize services without taking on additional costs.
On the income side, the village is expecting general fund income to increase slightly, thanks mostly to a rise in income tax collections. The village income tax, which is the general fund's chief source of revenue, has generated $905,000 to date in 2012 - $16,000 more than budgeted.
Council member Don Elzer said he would like to see the budget reports produced in a format that is simpler to comprehend because he finds the current format somewhat difficult to follow.
Council member Fran Figley said this was a simple format to follow. "That's what this does. You just have to learn how to read it," he said.

Systemwide Events Calendar
The Murder of Tiberius GracchusFebruary 5, 12:00pm - 1:00pm
Manoa Campus, History Dept. Library Sakamaki Hall A201
"The Priests, the Goddess, and the Murder of Tiberius Gracchus: Roman Ritual on Foreign Soil" a lecture by Dr. John Dillon, University of Peking
The spectacular murder of the tribune Tiberius Gracchus in 133 B.C. shook the Roman Republic. It may even have troubled the gods: according to Cicero, after the report of omens, a delegation of Roman priests set out to appease the goddess Ceres in her Sicilian sanctuary at Enna. This unusual event in the history of Roman religion is frequently interpreted in light of Roman politics. The study of Roman conceptions of religious territory, however, and an appreciation of Cicero's misleading version of the events suggest a different explanation, one less political but religiously no less exceptional.

Kyle Brown of Hollidaysburg works on a new home being constructed by Metz Builders Inc. of Duncansville on Stonehedge Road on Thursday.
Statistics show 6,797 building permits as of May, compared to 7,736 at the same time last year.
Despite the statewide decrease, some local builders have seen an increase in business.
"We have had more new home activity by the middle of the year than all of last year. It is not a record number, but it has improved over last year for us. We have seven new homes and 16 apartment units under contract to build," said Drew Swope, president of Keystone Custom Homes and Development Inc., Hollidaysburg. "A lot of other guys have gone to the renovation side, but that is not our niche."
Mark Metz, president and owner of Metz Builders Inc., Duncansville, said despite the recession, his business hasn't slowed down.
"We are busy now," Metz said. "We have three large homes under construction. I had more work under contract at the start of the year than I ever had and have more work lined up."
Metz said he has moved into building what he calls "higher end" homes. He said while he builds all sizes of homes, he has built several that cost about $900,000.
"Those people in that price range are secure enough that the economy hasn't slowed them down," Metz said. "We do about three or four homes in that range a year. Three homes of that size equal eight to 10 smaller ones."
Donald Delozier, president of Donald C. Delozier Inc., Altoona, said while he isn't building any single family homes right now, he is busier than ever as the contractor for the 11-townhouse Chatham Mews project on Lexington Avenue.
On the other side of the spectrum, Greg Dempsie, owner of Greg Dempsie Custom Homes, Altoona, admits he has been "super slow."
"We have probably done about five [new homes] in the last two years, normally that would be about 15 or 16," Dempsie said. "We are bidding on about two and doing some remodeling. We have never been big on remodeling."
Jim Brown, president of J.R. Brown Construction Inc., Hollidaysburg, said, however, that remodeling and commercial work are keeping his business going. He said he has not been busy with new construction. He noted that his company has not built a new home since 2009.
He said he sees several reasons for the drop in new construction.
"I attribute it to the national media. People are tired of hearing all of the negativity," Brown said. "Another problem may be gas prices. People are spending more money on gas, and they don't know where the price of gas is going. They don't want to increase their spending and are hesitant."
The recent construction of senior complexes has led to more people putting their existing homes on the market, leading to less demand for new construction.
Dempsie said existing home prices are going down while the costs for building materials is going up.
"The price of shingles and siding are going through the roof. Lumber jumps up and down - it fluctuates," Brown said.
Even though the price of some supplies is up, Metz said it is a good time to build.
"Hard costs for building supplies are down - lumber, plywood, and drywall - and the interest rates are good," Swope said. "My customers are aware it is the best time to consider building a new home. The interest rates are under 5 percent."

Lose weight, have fun and feel full.
Not so bad!
Learn how to realistically slim down, look great and be healthy
The Full Plate basics
in 10-seconds or less
Fill your plate with naturally high fiber foods
Drink more water
Move more
The idea behind Full Plate is simple. Eat delicious foods (including your favorites) and lose weight. You don't have to do things perfectly to get results. It's the smart, sustainable way to slim down and feel great. Unlike other diets, a high fiber diet is a fun way to eat. And eating should be fun.
Is the Full Plate approach backed by science? Yes, learn more
Lose Weight and Reclaim Your Life
Full Plate is a positive, hope inspiring approach to weight loss because it's based on do's rather than don'ts.
We'll guide you towards your transformation in a way that nudges you outside your comfort zone yet in a way that's caring and non judging.
We show up to work every morning because we've seen what's possible and we want to empower you to take small steps towards big victories.
You can do it too. You're worth it!
"As of now, I have lost 72 pounds and am still working at it. My goal is to lose at least 150 pounds. I am glad I found your site and look forward to getting lots of good ideas from you!"
"This year I have lost 27 pounds and I'm about 14 pounds away from my goal. I know one thing, I'm never hungry anymore and the food is delicious. Many of these foods I normally would have labeled BAD carbs and avoided them altogether, but now I see where I was wrong by doing that."
"A friend on Facebook told me about The Full Plate Diet book. I got a copy and it made a huge difference for me. In 2011 and 2012 I slowly lost 20 pounds and have kept the weight off. I've got more to go, but it's a start. I didn't have to really try to lose the weight. The weight comes off as I eat better. My diabetes has also improved. Six months ago my doctor took me off half of my diabetes medications. My next goal is to get off all of them."
"Last March I came across an ad on Facebook. The ad asked me, Are You Eating Enough to Lose Weight?" That question intrigued me so I signed up for the course. Over the next 6-months I lost 50 pounds. While I've lost weight before, but this feels different. This feels doable. I've learned a way of eating that will help me keep it off. I'm confident now that I can maintain the progress I've made."
"In the past I'd lose the same 20 to 30 pounds many times. I'd get tired of counting points and feeling restricted, so I'd give up. This time I don't have that same concern. I can do this! Compared to the past I'm not struggling any more. I'm not anxious. I'm enjoying what I'm eating. I'm not dieting; I'm living my life."
"Full Plate Living has changed my life! I lost 81 pounds and never felt like I was on a diet. It has been small, steady changes. I'm confident I will be able to keep the weight off. And the amazing thing is, I never thought I'd ever be able to say that. It really has become my lifestyle."
-Billie Jean
5 Ways Full Plate is Different
1. Can I lose weight without feeling deprived?
Yes. If you'll fill most of your plate with delicious, naturally high fiber foods (like beans, broccoli, blueberries or oatmeal), you can save room for old favorites. That's because high fiber foods are naturally high in fiber and water, which makes them naturally low in calories.
And, high fiber foods are also naturally more filling, which means you can eat a full plate and still lose weight.
A good goal to aim for is 75% of your plate naturally high fiber foods, 25% everything else.
2. Can I lose weight without going to the gym?
When a sailboat is sinking in the movies, you see people scooping up water in buckets and throwing it overboard. But that doesn't usually work because the water is coming in too fast.
Picture weight loss. Your body is taking in thousands of calories every day. Going to the gym may help you scoop out a few hundred. But for long term weight loss, you need to patch the holes in your diet, using naturally high fiber foods.
Weight loss comes from your dinner plate, not the gym. If you'll fill 75% of your plate with delicious high fiber foods and add 30 minutes of walking to your daily routine, you can lose weight and keep it off.
That said, adding more strenuous exercise to your day can help you lose weight faster. But a 30 minute walk is a great start.
3. How can I lose weight if I don't have time?
If you don't make time, you can't do anything.
But our goal is to help you lose weight without turning your schedule upside down.
Since our weight loss program is all about your plate, your schedule is already set for weight loss. You'll be losing weight during mealtimes just by eating more fiber.
You also need to add 30 minutes of walking to your day, but you can do that while you watch your favorite show. Or, you could connect with mom or a best friend while on your walk.
4. Is this doable? Will I be able to tolerate this?
This way of eating is easy to make your own, even if you're a picky eater because there's a such a large number of high fiber foods that are mainstream and easy to find and prepare.
Pick the ones you like and start piling them on your plate. You can keep old favorites in the space you have left.
If you can do that and add 30 minutes of walking to your day, this is a plan you can live with. No food is forbidden...you can keep eating what you enjoy and improve your plate by surrounding those foods with fiber. Who can't tolerate eating full plates of delicious food?
5. Is there hope for me?
If there wasn't, we wouldn't work here. We believe you can reclaim a healthier body by simply adding more high fiber foods to your plate and walking at least 30 minutes a day.
Every one of us has seen our lives and bodies changed by eating more high fiber foods. And that's why we come to work in the morning — to help you discover a better life. The world needs your talents, passions, and ideas. We're here to help you get healthy and stay that way, so you can live to your full potential.
If you're scared of making changes because you don't think you can do it perfectly, you can relax. Perfection is not a requirement here. And every little step you take will help you move forward. Anyone can do this...no matter where they are. Every little step will help you reap benefits, and even though you won't do it perfectly, you'll be better than where you started.
Now, let's be fair, eating a few naturally high fiber foods won't cure advanced cancer or heart disease, but they can help you prevent these diseases. And of course, high fiber foods can help you lose weight and keep it off.

The Bay-Atlantic Symphony is now not only consistently praised for its astonishing level of artistry and precision, it is also viewed throughout New Jersey as a model for how professional orchestras can become a vital focus and source of identity in their communities."
Gaylin earned both a Bachelor of Music in piano and a Master of Music in conducting at the Oberlin Conservatory, and a Doctor of Musical Arts in conducting at the Peabody Conservatory. He makes his home in Baltimore with his wife, poet and essayist, Lia Purpura, and their son.

on October 16, 2012 - 12:22 AM
, updated October 16, 2012 at 8:11 AM
County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz's proposal to raise Erie County property taxes by 3.4 percent landed with a thud Monday in the Legislature offices.
Republicans immediately opposed the idea, and while some Democrats said they want to hear from their constituents, others sounded wary of imposing more taxes.
"We're 100 percent opposed to any type of tax increase," said Legislator Joseph C. Lorigo, a Conservative Party member from West Seneca who aligns with Republicans on the Legislature.
Poloncarz's proposed $1.38 billion spending plan for 2013, which relies on a tax increase, job cuts and surplus funds to balance the budget, is now in the hands of the county's 11 legislators. They will spend the next seven weeks inspecting the budget books and could come up with their own proposals for county spending before the budget is finalized in early December.
Support for scaling back – or even eliminating – the tax increase had already bubbled up Monday, but to do that, legislators would likely have to find $8 million to cut out of Poloncarz's proposal.
"There's a process, and we get to review it now," said Legislator Thomas A. Loughran, an Amherst Democrat. "The last place you want to look is raising taxes, so I think we'll see what we can do."
Poloncarz, a Democrat, has described his proposal as a "modest" tax increase that was necessary in order to avoid cuts to discretionary areas of the budget that he pledged to restore when he campaigned for office last year, including the libraries and aid to local cultural organizations.
"We heard from the public last year saying, 'We demand these services,' " Poloncarz told reporters Monday.
The county executive said a number of financial pressures – including mandates for 35 new positions at the jails, increased costs of Medicaid and fringe benefits and a decline in the county's tax base – have hit the county at once.
In addition to the tax increase, he has proposed cutting 63 mostly vacant jobs and using $5.4 million that is leftover from prior year budgets.
"We're talking about 28 [fewer] jobs in Erie County government on Jan. 1, 2013, compared to Dec. 31, 2012," Poloncarz said. "So if people think that we're growing government because the budget went up, we're not. The budget went up because of mandated services that we can't control."
Five legislators who make up the Republican caucus said they plan to put together their own budget amendments with the hope of eliminating the proposed tax increase. It takes six votes to pass a budget amendment in the 11-member Legislature.
"We are opposed to the direction this proposed budget takes this county," said Minority Leader John J. Mills, an Orchard Park Republican. "People are struggling in this economy; we should be working to provide them financial relief, not asking them for more money."
Other legislators said they wanted to hear back from residents in their district to see if they would support a tax increase in order to keep services such as parks, libraries and road patrols intact.
Those services – unlike larger expense items such as federally mandated social service programs – are the areas over which elected officials have the most control.
"They have to indicate to not just myself, but their representatives: Are they willing to pay to have those services?" said Legislator Lynn M. Marinelli, a Town of Tonawanda Democrat. "[Only] 10 percent of the margin of our budget is discretionary."
Legislator Thomas J. Mazur, a Cheektowaga Democrat, said he believes that it will be difficult to find $8 million more to trim from Poloncarz's proposal. He called the proposed tax increase "reasonable" if it spares libraries and other services.
"The county executive is very conservative when it comes to number-crunching," Mazur said. "Right now, the other side of the aisle is posturing."
Legislator Edward A Rath III, an Amherst Republican, disagreed.
"What I believe the residents of Erie County want," Rath said, "is a smaller government – a government which has its employees doing more with less, so to speak, just like everyone else in Erie County."

There were chest high sets yesterday for sure. Nothing close to head high.

There were chest high sets yesterday for sure. Nothing close to head high.
Awh sh!t dawg down here in NC it was head high all morning, but I'm 5'7" and was squatting or pig dogging below my waist line. So yeah head high, right?... Not. Still, I got barreled, had fun and surfed my brains out!
Only at the peek of the set waves was it 3-4. Heck in Hawaii it would be like someone just flushed the toilet... Tiny.
Sunday before the wind switched it was head high on the set in south Rodanthe. Great surfing.
definitely still summer around here
Thanks all for the feedback guys. I realized that the dude who said it was head high has never surfed anywhere besides the mid atlantic. Check out the fiji pro at cloudbreak last month.. they (pro tour guys) were calling it 6-8 ft.
So... head high on a three foot short period swell..? hell no.
But it was super fun anyway and the water was crystal clear and so warm!
Woooo! Can't wait for September!
thanks for the tip

|Know How to Stay Safe When Using Farm Irrigation Equipment

Know How to Stay Safe When Using Farm Irrigation Equipment
Irrigation electrical hazards are a growing problem in many regions of the country. In the summer heat and dry season, farm irrigation can be vital for profitability. However, it is equally vital that operators know and follow proper safety precautions to avoid potentially deadly electrical accidents
Farm operators should keep in mind that metal and water are conductors of electricity while working around irrigation equipment. Aluminum irrigation pipes, while lightweight and easier to handle, are an excellent conductor of electricity. It is best to avoid moving irrigation pipe and equipment on windy days, as a sudden gust could lift pipes into overhead power lines. This power line contact could prove fatal to a person holding the pipe.
"Remember, water and electricity is a dangerous mix," said Mike Bird, electrical safety expert and member of the Safe Electricity Advisory Board. "Electricity follows the shortest path to the ground and can flow through any conductive material, such as water or metal. Do not allow irrigation water nozzles to spray on power lines. A water stream hitting a power line could energize the entire system, creating a shock hazard to anyone nearby or in contact with the equipment."
Take some time to survey your surroundings before moving equipment. Look up and around you; note any power lines that could be close enough to come into contact with equipment – and stay away.
"Always know the location of nearby electrical lines when working with irrigation equipment," said Bird. "Any contact between the irrigation equipment and nearby electrical lines could be fatal or cause serious injury."
To ensure safe operation of irrigation equipment, Safe Electricity offers the following tips:
"If an irrigation pipe comes in contact with a power line, never try to remove it yourself," said Bird. "Stay away from the pipe, and call your local electric utility for help."

Maui's Lotulelei joins Te'o on Butkus list for best LB
October 4, 2012 - Robert Collias
His road to this point has been trying, but John Lotulelei of UNLV and formerly of Baldwin is on the 51-player Butkus Award finalist list for the best linebackers in the country.
The Lotulelei name is a familiar one to MIL sports fans — Tau Lotulelei was a standout linebacker, wrestler and track weight man for Maui High until graduating from Maui High last season and he has made his way to UNLV as well, redshirting his freshman season and soaking up all the knowledge from John that he can. The two brothers also speak to their oldest sibling, Saia Lotulelei, daily. If Saia's name rings a bell, it should — he was a three-time state heavyweight wrestling champion for Maui High in the early 2000s. Now 28, Saia Lotulelei is back wrestling for York University, an NAIA school in Nebraska.
John Lotulelei is on the same finalist as Notre Dame's Manti Te'o, the former Punahou star who has been through some very troubling times in the past couple weeks.

Great article with earnest quotes from Plushy. Thank you !!
I ll put this here,
Russian Team for Euros announced, Worlds team depends on Euros performances.
From T Flade twitter
RUS team for Euros: Plushenko, Gachinski, Voronov, Leonova, Makarova, Korobeinikova (yey!), Volosozhar/Trankov, Kawaguchi/Smirnov, Bazarova/Lario, Bobrova/Soloviev, Ilinykh/Katsalapov, Riazanova/Guerreiro.
As for Plushenko, RUS Fed will turn to ISU.
With Makarova and Korobeinikova Russia may very well lose the 3 spots for 2013. Shelepen would be more reliable. She only had a bad SP all season, the rest of her skates were pretty good, scoring over 100 in the LP every time. Not to mention she beat Korobeinikova both times they went head to head(and also in Russian nationals LP, and that with a fall). Yes,I do like Polina K better but I think Shelepen is more reliable. Polina K messed all her international SP.
Shelepen would be a good choice too, I'd say she is the most consistent and reliable of all the upcoming russian seniors
but she should replace Makarova not Korobeynikova
it should be Leonova, Shelepen and Korobeynikova. Korobeynikova usually bounces back in her LP whatever mess she has in her SP
I cant say the same the same for Makarova, she is the most inconsistent especially at Internationals
the Euros comes first and whoever bombs their performance
the Worlds is still open for Shelepen and maybe Biryukova

Perhaps it would have been better for both of them, if it were still Riazanova/Guerreiro.
Plushenko still has time to pick up a Senior B to get a qualifying score before Europeans.
Mentor Nestle NesQuik Cup in Torum, Poland, Jan 4 to 8
International Trophy of Lyon in Lyon, France, Jan 6 to 8
Skate Helena in Belgrade, Serbia Jan 11 to 15
There are 6 or 7 Senior B's between Europeans & Worlds.
I'm presuming as a returning Olympic medallist, he is hoping for a bye. I'm fuzzy about what the rules about that are, considering that he has reincarnated once before, for the 2010 Olympics. Does a second Olympic medal entitle him to a second time to reincarnate without qualifying?
And is he allowed to skate at all, given that he did not skate at Worlds last year, but skated in shows, and got banned for an indefinite period by the ISU?

NEW MANCHESTER - When The Steel Wheels were getting ready to play a gig at the Purple Fiddle, a club in central West Virginia, a year ago, they were surprised to see a group of 45 middle school students from Hancock County walk in.
The show that followed turned out to be a revelation for both the band and the young concert-goers.
"There was this big busload of young people, which is not the norm at the Purple Fiddle," said Trent Wagler, lead vocalist for The Steel Wheels. "It planted a seed there that night. The kids were just so much fun, and they were a good audience. We don't play to junior high kids a whole lot. ..."

The show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 and $8 in advance and $10 at the door. For more information, call 304-374-7474. (Submitted Photo)
The Steel Wheels are hoping that the good feelings get repeated when they come to Oak Glen Middle School on Tuesday for a concert sponsored by the school's Culture Club.
After the Purple Fiddle show, the band talked with Culture Club adviser Matt Cashdollar, a guidance counselor at Oak Glen Middle School, about the possibility of doing a show in New Manchester.
"They agreed to stop in here when they could, and here it is a year later, and they're fulfilling their promise," Cashdollar said.
The Steel Wheels' show at 7 p.m. Tuesday is part of the Culture Club's annual concert series at the school.
"We host two national touring acts a year, in the fall and in the spring," Cashdollar said. "We look at the concerts as an alternative experience, as opposed to a field trip, for our club members and as a cultural arts gift for the tri-state area."
Hailing from Harrisonburg, Va., in the Shenandoah Valley, The Steel Wheels have been taking the Americana music scene by storm since the release of their 2010 CD "Red Wing." The album spent 13 weeks on the Americana Music Association's Top 40 chart, where it reached the No. 15 slot. The song "Nothing You Can't Lose" took top honors as Best Country Song at the 2010 Independent Music Awards.
The Steel Wheels now are touring in support of their latest release, "Lay Down Lay Low," which critics are calling a worthy follow-up to "Red Wing."
Wagler, 33, said The Steel Wheels' music blends elements of traditional country, gospel, blues, folk and bluegrass. "We've chosen to stay pretty true to an acoustic setup," he said. "We don't stay slaves to bluegrass or old-time music, but parts of our set list will be straight out of the blues or old-time gospel or old country music."
The members of The Steel Wheels - Wagler, Brian Dickel, Eric Brubaker and Jay Lapp - put their creative energies into singing four-part harmonies and playing acoustic instruments - banjo, acoustic guitar, mandolin, fiddle and upright bass.
Wagler acknowledges that the band's style and choice of instruments won't go well with all young people, but the band's genre-spanning music appeals to all ages.
"We don't have the same glamour and glitz that a lot of pop music has. Maybe because of that, it seems to resonate with a wider variety of generations," Wagler said. "For a lot of young people, if they've spent a lot of time listening to pop music, they're not going to hear a lot of old-time banjo or mandolin or fiddle. Some of that's pretty fresh to them, even though it's as old as the hills."
Cashdollar said it's good to expose students to different styles of music, which is one of the reasons for the Culture Club concert series.
"We try to do more American roots music - folk, blues, jazz-so the kids can learn their cultural heritage as well," he said.
Cashdollar started a similar club years ago when he was a guidance counselor at Westgate Middle School in East Liverpool. The club hosted acts as diverse as Richie Havens, Tom Paxton, the U.S. Army Field Band and the Glenn Miller Orchestra.
Cashdollar wants to do the same thing with the Oak Glen Middle School Culture Club, now in its third year. In addition to concerts, the club takes five to six field trips a year and hosts two theatrical productions.
In October, the Culture Club hosted the poetry forum "Prose, Poems and Promises of the Civil War Era."
Opening for The Steel Wheels will be Luis Neer, a freshman at Oak Glen High School, and Tangled Wallflowers (Katie Szymanski, Molly Swartzmiller and Bethany Fernbaugh).

The Lord greatly blessed us with two souls giving their lives to Christ in our recent revival with Pastor David Wilmoth. In Parsons, seven were born again during a funeral service. More were saved or blessed at the St. George Church of God revival.
Thanks be unto Jehovah God, His Son, Jesus Christ, and their power manifested through the Holy Ghost as Brother David ministered for two weeks in the Tygart Valley Region!
As for me, by the direction of the Holy Ghost and sensing the urgency to "preach Christ and Him crucified," I've completely disconnected from political activism, and must now concentrate on the winning of souls to Jesus Christ, His kingdom and His Church.
Notwithstanding, we must still continue prayers for our nation, world and its leaders! We must pray for those with whom God calls to petition meekly, boldly and humbly about Christ to those in higher power.
Our topic this time is the controversy concerning what meats we should eat according to biblical standards. Paul admonishes in his first epistle to Timothy chapter 4:1-5.
"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron; forbidding to marry, and 'commanding to abstain from meats,' which God hath created to be 'received' with thanksgiving, of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of god is 'good,' and 'nothing' to be refused 'if' it be received with thanksgiving: for it is 'sanctified' by the word of God and prayer."
In other words, every creature (except humans, but even grasshoppers) is good if it be received with thanksgiving, and is sanctified (cleansed or set apart) by the word of Jehovah God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost through prayer (or rendering a blessing of grace in the name of Jesus Christ).
These creatures include, but are not limited to, any cloven- or cleft-hoofed, or cud-chewing animal, storks and other fowls once forbidden. If you are in the Philippines, you may eat a glute, which is the cooked egg, one week before it hatches! If you want these things, cook, thank Jesus and eat!
The letter of the law kills, the Holy Spirit gives life. There are many OT Levitical, dietary laws, that declared Israelites to abstain from meats. Mostly, these laws concerning meat, as we see clearly in our generation, were given by God, because of microscopic organisms which with no refrigeration, could cause rapid, poisonous contamination to certain meat types. Ahead, was a journey of 40 years in the hot desert wilderness.
In Jesus is life, and the "law was a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ." He came not to "destroy the law but to fulfill it." We see the omnipotence, foreknowledge, and omnipresence of God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit, in their true diety, even in the OT.
The Eternal Christ in His pre-incarnate Theophany appears on the plains of Mamre with two accompanying angels to pronounce the birth of Issac to the aging Abraham and Sarah, and to declare the judgment of God on the morally depraved cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.
In this passage the KJV bible records: "And Abraham ran unto the herd, and (fetched) a 'calf' tender and 'good', and gave it unto a young man, and he hasted to 'dress' (prepare and cook) it.
"And he took butter, and milk and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them, (Christ and the two angels); and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat." Isaiah declares that Christ, Immanuel, God with us in the flesh, would eat, butter and honey.
I personally enjoy the white meat poultry, some types of beef, luncheon meats, pork products, and a few varieties of fish. My favorite meats are fried hamburgers and crab cakes!
On the night of His betrayal, Jesus partook of the Passover lamb and traditional meal, before administering the Holy Communion elements. He mentions the fatted calf in his true parable of the prodigal son's return home.
As Jesus makes two of three post resurrection appearances to the apostles he mentions "have you any meat"? "And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of a honeycomb. And He took it, and did eat before them"; Luke 24: 41-43. His third appearance to them was with bread and fish upon the fire.
Peter, while hungry, has a revelation that would eventually lead him to win the Italian Gentile Cornelius and his family to faith in Christ, sanctification, the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues, and water baptism.
This is done in double Holy Spirit visionary metaphor, to specifically declare that Gentiles or any type of creature was good, because nothing God cleanses is unclean!
"Peter went up upon the house to pray about the sixth hour (noon). And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they (in the house below) made ready (food), he fell into a trance, and saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him and a sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth.
"Wherein were all manner of four footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. And there came a voice to him; rise, Peter; kill and eat. But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
And the voice spake unto him again the second time, what God hath 'cleansed,' that call not thou common. This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven."
In the General Council of Acts 15 concerning the debate over Christian Gentiles being circumcised after the manner of Moses as condition for salvation, Apostle James, the biological half-brother of Christ, makes this declaration: "For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, (anything knowingly idolatrous or of the occult) and from blood (including cannibalism); from things strangled: (to kill by the squeezing of the throat, without blood shed and therefore eating the blood thereof), and from fornication (of any type): from which if he keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well."
In part, this declaration from James via Holy Spirit and General Council, was also given to prevent offense to them persuaded from OT law.
Romans 14:1-3: "Him that is weak in the faith receive you, but not to doubtful disputations. For one believeth he may eat all things: another who is weak eateth herbs. Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth; for God hath received him."
Meats, as with anything in excess, can become unhealthy to our bodies and moderation should be exercised. Genesis 1:29 mentions, "And God said, Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."
If you are a vegetarian, don't impose your will on those that eat meat or vice versa. We should not knowingly defile the conscience of a weaker brother in Christ. Romans 14: 13-17 reads: "Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean in itself: but to him that esteemed anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
"But if thy brother is grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. Let not your good be evil spoken of. For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost."
In "rightly dividing the word of truth," we read: 1st Corinthians 6:13, "Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them." Proverbs 20:1 says, "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is decieved thereby is not wise."
"If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed. For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds," John 2: 10-11.
If thy knock at your door, don't answer! As Christ soon returns, false prophets will abound!

WHITEHORSE, YUKON -- (Marketwired) -- 01/27/14 -- The Yukon government is expanding its assistance to the mineral exploration industry. Funding for the 2014/15 Yukon Mineral Exploration Program (YMEP) has been increased to a total of $1.4 million, subject to legislative approval.
"We have increased funding for the Yukon Mineral Exploration Program by $630,000 for the coming season," Premier Darrell Pasloski said in Vancouver, where he is attending the Mineral Exploration Roundup. "This investment has a track record of succeeding. Last year's funding leveraged over $3 million in exploration investment by the private sector."
The Yukon Mineral Exploration Program (formerly called the Yukon Mining Incentive Program) provides funding to individuals, partnerships and junior mining companies to move forward on their mineral exploration projects. Part of the program's function is to provide a portion of the risk capital required to locate, explore and develop mineral projects to an advanced stage.
"In addition to directly funding exploration programs, YMEP has proven to be a strong vehicle for companies to leverage additional funding from investors," Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources Scott Kent said. "We have also seen that the program provides incentive for companies to operate locally and invest in Yukon's economy."
Last season, 55 Yukon exploration projects were funded through the program, which was half of the total number of active projects in the territory. Immediate impacts of last year's funded projects included 300 new mineral claims and the discovery of 12 new mineral occurrences.
Historically, the program has been instrumental in assisting prospectors who have made significant recent mineral discoveries in Yukon.
YMEP is a competitive, proposal-driven process that is merit-based. The projects most likely to be funded are ones that have the best chance of succeeding and the strongest potential to generate additional investment in Yukon's economy.
The application deadline for the upcoming year's program is March 31.
