Ricky Nelson
What a wonderful tribute to the young man with whom we all grew up, swooned over and watched as his star continued to glow (PEOPLE, Jan. 20). It is so refreshing to read a wonderfully sentimental remembrance of someone who, though the victim of a most untimely death, left those behind with nothing but kind words and thoughts. Thank you for respecting a special memory.
Karen Kinney Drellich
Walnut Creek, Calif.
Thanks so much for the beautiful story on Rick Nelson. Tears came to my eyes as I read about the plane crash. I, like so many, will continue to feel the loss of the friend we knew, loved and grew up with from the golden days of Ozzie & Harriet.
Joyce Tucker
Addison, Ill.
What a pity it took the untimely death of an American pop idol to finally earn him an overdue cover story. To those of us who grew up with Rick Nelson, who loved and admired his talent, this recognition should have taken place when he too could have enjoyed it.
Steve Martinez
Santa Monica, Calif.
When I was a child, my dream was to meet Rick Nelson. Long after I was grown, this dream came true. At over 35 concerts, Rick always had time for my family after his shows. It is important for those of us who truly loved Rick Nelson to express to others how nice he really was, in a time when nice was not the way to be.
Leola Woznick Carmody
Middletown, N.Y.
I was bothered by James Burton's quote "I think everyone who grew up in America in the '50s will miss Rick Nelson." What about the following generation? I'm only 16 and I'll miss him as much as my parents. He may not have had as much influence as someone like Elvis, but Ricky affected me more than Elvis ever will. I want the teenagers of the '50s to know that he wasn't just their Ricky Nelson, he was ours, too.

Gov. Richard Lamm
As a citizen of Colorado I can only state my complete admiration for our Governor. As the daughter of a lady who was terminally ill for 10 years, often on life support against her wishes, in the end emotionally bankrupt from her own suffering and the sorrow of knowing my father was financially wiped out, I agree with what Governor Lamm really said in his "right to die" statements. So would my mother were she still alive. As a mother of profoundly retarded twin daughters who have lived 24 years trapped in pain and misery inside helpless, twisted bodies, I agree with the Governor when he says it's a shame to spend $20,000 to teach them to roll over. These are highly personal issues which many people would rather sweep under the rug, cloud with high-blown rhetoric, or ignore entirely. Not our Governor. He's a rare man—a man in political office who has the courage, integrity, foresight, intelligence, genuine concern—and the guts to "tell it like it is."
Jessica Steele
Westminster, Colo.
Your article on Gov. Richard Lamm brought tears to my eyes. Tears of anger, frustration, fear and disgust. Of all his ridiculous opinions, I find his stand against special education the most inhuman. When the quality of one retarded person's life is improved, so are the lives of all those involved. Teaching a child to roll over, which Gov. Lamm takes so lightly, is one small step in a very large direction. A retarded child has no less right to the best education and training possible than any other child. Because that education may require different modes of thinking is certainly no reason to withhold it. Things that many people take for granted in their children, we count as major accomplishments in ours. We are sick to death of our children being the butt of ignorant jokes and tasteless remarks. We are tired of funding for our kids' programs being cut because every other item on state, local and federal budgets takes priority. And we've had it with having to fight for every single aspect of quality in our kids' lives. But fight we will. No one is going to make us stop trying to make the best lives possible for our children. And one of the things I will fight until the day I die are the attitudes of cruel, unfeeling, uncaring people like Gov. Richard Lamm. No, retarded people are not God's "mistakes." God doesn't make mistakes. But obviously, the Colorado voting population does.

Simon Le Bon
The world has ended! My life is in utter darkness! Simon Le Bon marries Yasmin. Oh, well, at least it wasn't Clare and sexy John Taylor is still free, so watch out Renee!
Susan Duttweiler
Vernon, Conn.
I would like to congratulate PEOPLE for their wonderful coverage of Simon Le Bon's marriage to Yasmin Parvaneh. It sets the record straight about all of the rumors. Your true Duran fans still love ya, Simon!
Michelle Thornton
Clifton Park, N.Y.
Picks & Pans
Oh come on now, Jeff Jarvis, you have really done it this time! You insulted the Muppets. I mean, no human being insults the Muppets. Just because they've caused 30 years of laughter and joy and you have not?
Andrea Basil
Tacoma, Wash.
I am congratulating myself today because I took notice of the excellent review Jeff Jarvis gave last week of Passion Flower, which was shown last night on CBS. The movie was worth the price of admission to a movie theater, and from now on I will check Picks & Pans more closely and take much more notice of its opinions.

Comments Thread For: Espinoza on Mares, Valdez, Ponce, Ramos, Molina, More
2012 has been an exciting year for Frank Espinoza Sr. and Frank Espinoza Jr. of Espinoza Boxing. We caught up with Espinoza Sr. and asked him about the year past and his hopes for 2013.
How was 2012 for Espinoza Boxing?
Overall it was a great year. We had Abner Mares win a second world title. He also defeated Anselmo Moreno which was a very big deal. There were many who felt he couldnt win that fight. Daniel Ponce De Leon won his second world title with us this year. And we also had the debut of Oscar Valdez who I think will be boxings next big star.

|EcommerceBytes-NewsFlash, Number 2916 - October 18, 2012 - ISSN 1539-5065 4 of 5
We have it almost ingrained as a habit to think of the holiday retail season as a time when ecommerce shoppers seek items primarily for other people. Maybe it's the spirit of the season, or too much holiday entertainment programming reinforcing those thought.
Coupon business Valpak recently released results of their 2012 Consumer Spending Report, their third annual effort. Savings figures greatly in the minds of shoppers. The report found 53 percent of respondents plan to take advantage of whatever cost-cutting options they can find when purchasing those gifts.
But shoppers have needs and wants of their own as well.
Valpak noted that about a quarter of men and women hitting the stores on those early shopping days of Black Friday and Cyber Monday (a term creatively coined by Shop.org a few years ago that seems to have stuck), will be working on their own shopping lists.
Twenty-six percent of women plan to make Black Friday a little more special for themselves, while men at 27 percent favor Cyber Monday as the day to add something nice to their lives, just in time for the holidays.
This should be suggestive to ecommerce professionals as they set up their various ad campaigns. It may be worthwhile to target some messages at the shopper's desires as well as at their gift recipients.
"Another notable takeaway from this year's report is it marks the third year nearly 20 percent of shoppers indicated they plan to spend less during the holiday season than they did the previous year, highlighting a pattern of how consumers approach the holidays with a goal to cut back," said Michael Vivio, president of Cox Target Media, provider of Valpak.
When they spend, they'll spend early, according to Valpak's findings. One in three men and women said they plan to brave the Black Friday crowds; 36 percent of women and 31 percent of men intend to take to the internet on Cyber Monday.
A handful of shoppers, 14 percent, will mark both days on their calendars and look for deals offline and online. Quite a few will start sooner, as in this very month of October, with 40 percent hunting for gifts amid the Halloween candy. It's definitely not too soon to test out some holiday-style marketing, to perhaps bring some online sales home early.

CHAMPION - In a crowd of top high school basketball players, the only thing that would stick out about Champion's Ian Barnes is that he doesn't exactly look like he belongs.
His body is trim and not swelling with muscle, his stature is not towering to unsuspecting light bulbs and door frames. He exudes a kind and smiling demeanor and has the speaking prowess and intellect of a member of a high school debate team.
But as the old adage goes, "looks can be deceiving" and when Barnes hits the hardwood, it doesn't take long to realize he belongs.
"Ian has a very unique game," Champion coach Dan Bubon said. "At the all-star games, he's not going to stand out, I'll tell you that right now. But you put him on a team, and you wouldn't trade him for anybody. He is kind of like a (Rajon) Rondo. He's not going to go out and take 10 jumpshots in a row, but he'll get you a great shot and take good percentage shots.
"He's going to rebound, for a guard, better than anyone in the area. If the kid is smaller than him, he's going to post him up. He's going to do whatever you need him to do. Today, especially, that is extremely rare. A kid now just wants to shoot a 3 or drive it to the hoop, but his game is so much more."
Barnes, whose intangible skillset allowed him to stand out on a Champion team that suffered an up-and-down season during the 2009-10 campaign, chose to attend Geneva College in Beaver Falls, Pa. to major in post-secondary education while also suiting up for the Golden Tornadoes.
Barnes chose Geneva over a number of other universities, including Northern Kentucky University, Pfeiffer University (North Carolina) and Ave Maria University (Florida), all of which offered him the chance to accelerate his basketball game to the next level.
"I chose Geneva over the other ones because I liked being closer to home, I liked coach (Jeff) Santarsiero a lot and, when I toured the campus, it's where I could picture myself being," Barnes said. "I met the players and had a lot in common with them. I'm going to play basketball there, get my degree in secondary education in hopes of being a history teacher and then, hopefully, coach basketball one day like Coach Bubon."
It's not surprising that Barnes would want to be a coach, considering his court IQ and knowledge of the game is something that set often set him apart throughout his career. A 4.0 GPA that put Barnes in the top ten of his class didn't hurt either.
"To be cliche', you wish you had 12 of him every year," Bubon said. "He's an extremely hard worker, is extremely intelligent and very selfless. He could have easily been very, very, very greedy this year because he's one of the best players I've had. We didn't really have a good second go-to scorer, but he still shared the ball, did what he was supposed to."
To Barnes, his intelligence on the court is just something that came along with a life spent near the hoop, regardless of the surface or age.
"It came naturally for the most part, but I watched a lot of basketball too," Barnes said. "I watched how some of the bigger stars did it and tried to mold my game to theirs. (From the start) my dad had me out in the front yard, dribbling the ball on the blacktop, teaching me the basic fundamentals. My older brother (David), who played for Champion last year, and I always had battles and made each other better, too."
Barnes, who cites his favorite players to emulate being Jason Kidd and Steve Nash, knows that the transition into the college game will not be easy, but he has spent his life on the court utilizing the skills he was given and translating them into positives both for himself and his teammates.
"I just used the certain skills that I had," Barnes said. "I felt like I was a smart ball player and understood the game and I used that to my advantage. I also always just worked in the off-season to capture that edge on the court. The big thing is to never get discouraged. At times, it definitely gets frustrating, but you have always keep working hard and things will always work out."
But Barnes admitted even though he worked as hard as he could to improve and get to the point will be at come fall, both on the court and in the classroom, he has a support system that will be there when he gets to the next step of his life at Geneva.
"Coach Bubon has had a great influence on me, coaching me throughout and developing me into a point guard," Barnes said. "He just taught me how to see the game and understand it even more to help me at the next level. Also, my parents have just helped me tremendously. They always put my studies first, which will help me a lot in life."

Comments about Aquapac Large Whanganui Electronics Case- 668:
I have found my iPad a very useful tool for enhancing my paddling experiences. The mapping tools, GPS and star gazing aps are especially useful (and fun) to have on board during a night paddle. This bag fits my iPad (equipped with an otter case) perfectly with sufficient room for my Bad Elf GPS to be attached and kept securely in place by the end of the bag. The material does not interfere with the touch screen, a problem I had when I employed a heavy duty zip-lock bag, and the front material is perfectly clear. All the side controls are also fully functional inside the bag. Obviously, head phones would not be useable while in the bag but I don't use my iPad for that purpose while paddling anyway. The only problem presented by the bag is the opaque back which precludes the use of the rear camera, which on my iPad 2 is too lousy to use anyway so why should I care? For you guys with the new iPad, you may miss this functionality, though your front camera will work fine throgh the case so you get the added value of a waterproof camera case! Note that I have my iPad in an otter case which makes the iPad thicker and less "slippery" in the case. For those inserting a bare iPad into the case you may find it a little sloppy since there would be more wiggle room inside. Personally, I'm well pleased.

Worked great using it to keep a Trimble handheld GPS unit dry while still having the fuctionality of the touchscreen through the case. I would get some desiccant packs to reduce moisture buildup on hot days.

For some of us it is the fear of the unknown. For others it is the fear of failure. For several it is the fear of success. Yes, can you believe it? The fear of success! The common theme here is fear. A mentor of mine once said that F.E.A.R. stands for False Evidence Appearing Real.
There are so many excuses we can come up with to convince ourselves that it is too hard, or not worth it anyway, or the stress is too much so I am going to stop. I believe that a lot of people, if they were able to look at their big dream as a football field would find that they are just about ready to score. If you are reading this and saying, "This is me", do not let your heart be troubled. A very practical method for accomplishing that dream or that goal is laying out a series of action steps to accomplish this goal.
People always say write your goals down, but when do they ever say, write your action steps to attain the goal. Action steps are the driving force to achieving that goal. For example if my goal is to spend more time with my wife or husband, then what would be a good action step for accomplishing this? You might say in order to spend more time with my spouse I must first call work and schedule the morning off. This puts focus on the steps rather than a big scary goal in front of you. Action steps help put the fear out of that unattainable goal. Remember life by an inch is a cinch, but life by a mile is a trial.

Mid Week Romance in the Berkshires
March 26, 2012 by Applegate Inn
Who says romance has to be limited to weekends? Well, maybe nobody actually said that, but many people live as if that's true. We say, cast that belief system aside. Have a little mid week romance in the Berkshires.
We offer a mid week lodging special at our Berkshire Bed and Breakfast through May that is perfect for a romantic getaway. It involves a complimentary prix fixe dinner for 2 at one of our favorite restaurants, including your first glass of wine.
This special may be used at the following Berkshires restaurants:
Alta Restaurant and Wine Bar in Lenox. Local and organic ingredients form the base of this inspired Mediterranean cuisine. The wine list is extensive, and there are 24 wines offered by the glass. The people who work here are happy, the food sophisticated, the wine satisfying and well-priced.
Chez Nous in Lee. Chez Nous is, as its name suggests, casual. You feel like you're in the home of the two chefs who created the restaurant, pastry chef Rachel Portnoy and French chef Franck Tessier. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The food is out of this world.
Morgan House in Lee. Located just down the street from our Berkshires Bed and Breakfast, Morgan House is cozy and warm. The food isn't fancy, but it is tasty and satisfying.
Old Inn on the Green in Marlboro. The fine dining restaurant at Old Inn on the Green is romance incarnate. Faces are lit by candlelight. The atmosphere is warm and the food is innovative, elegant and inspired. Dining here is, quite simply, sublime.
Perigee in South Lee. The place to enjoy New England favorites, plain and simple. This wonderful restaurant will be closed through April but will reopen in May.
A good dinner in the right restaurant is almost inherently romantic. Come see for yourself. Come to the Berkshires.
Spur of the Moment Romantic Getaway
February 13, 2012 by Applegate Inn
Is there anything more romantic than a spur of the moment romantic getaway? We think not.
Forget about dinner and a movie in your home town. Pack your bags and head to some of the most romantic land in New England–the Massachusetts Berkshires.
Spend evenings sitting together by a crackling fire. Spend afternoons out in the fresh air, or wandering through one of the areas spectacular museums: The Clark Art Institute, The Norman Rockwell Museum, Chesterwood. Hold hands.
Enjoy dinner at one of the many fine restaurants close to our Berkshires Inn. There's Zinc, an elegant bistro and bar in Lenox that has garnered praise from the New York Times. There's the Castle Street Cafe in Great Barrington, which will have dancing with the Wanda Houston Band on Valentine's Day. There's the Church Street Café, also in Lenox, where the menu changes with the seasons and decor is recycled and salvaged chic.
Berkshire Bed and Breakfasts are romantic by nature. A spur of the moment getaway to the Applegate Inn over Valentine's Day is particularly so. The best part? Give us a call today and receive 15% discount off a stay of at least two or more nights. You must arrive within 24 hours of making the reservation to receive the special.
We would be happy to enhance your stay with our Romance Package. Please see our Bershire Inn Lodging Specials for details.

TALLMADGE TOWNSHIP, MI -- A 17-year-old Grand Rapids man is dead after a crash late Wednesday on 8th Avenue north of Lincoln Street, authorities say.
Ottawa County sheriff's deputies were dispatched to the scene at 10:45 p.m. June 18 and found a two-vehicle crash with one person pinned inside a 1996 Oldsmobile Sierra.
Wright Township fire/rescue workers extricated the 17-year-old driver and he was pronounced dead on scene. His name is being withheld by police at this time, Sgt. Steve Austin said.
According to Austin, the teen was southbound on 8th Avenue north of Lincoln Street, when he crossed the centerline and struck a GMC Terrain head-on.
The driver of that vehicle, Timothy Anderson, 59, of Grand Rapids, suffered broken bones and other non life-threatening injuries. He was taken to Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital for treatment.
Anderson's passenger, Ryan Anderson, 33, was not injured, Austin said.
Alcohol nor speed is believed to have factored into the crash.

You can polka with Fritz, foxtrot with DeRuyter's high school band, sing along with the YMCA chorus or just graze on free refreshments at the 27th annual Share A Caring Christmas event from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Dec. 11 at the Nye Ford dealership on Route 5.
Just bring a toy with you.
Share A Caring Christmas, a project of WMCR FM 106.3, "Mix 106," and the Nye Auto Group, collects toys for needy families across the community, WMCR business assistant Darlene Boncella said.
"It started with one of our salespersons wanting to do something for children, and Nye quickly got involved. It's a biggie," she said.
New and gently used toys are collected and sent to the Salvation Army, which sorts them by age level and family need. Families can walk in and sign up for toys at the Salvation Army, 217 Cedar St., Oneida or call 363-7560 until Friday.
"When this started, we would go out and deliver toys ourselves," WMCR Operations Manager Joel Meltzer said. "It was a major undertaking. We decided it would be better to work with the Salvation Army. This is what they do."
Salvation Army Capt. Susan Ramsey said more than 300 families signed up for toys last year.
"I anticipate an increase this year," she said. "On Dec. 15, at 9 a.m. we open up and allow parents and grandparents to go through (the toy storage area) and pick from the gently used toys. New toys are distributed with the food baskets on the 23rd."
"It's exciting to see how the public comes together for this," Meltzer said.
Local businesses donate refreshments, Boncella said, "and entertainment is as big as the food."
"Fritz's Polka Band is very supportive," Meltzer said. "And we've got kids from the YMCA chorus and lots of schools," including St. Patrick's school chorus, the Chittenango brass quintet, the DeRuyter Senior High School Band and music groups from Oneida and Vernon-Verona-Sherrill city schools.
Meltzer said this is the first year the event has gone forward without WMCR's Carol Neveu, who retired earlier this year.
"She's been in this from the start, and she's still involved," he said. "She's telling us everything we need to do."
WMCR Mix 106 will broadcast from the event.
Boncella said while the bands and choral groups are popular, Santa will top the list of favorites, as always. "He'll be bringing live reindeer again this year," she said.
"It started with one of our salespersons wanting to do something for children, and Nye quickly got involved. It's a biggie." — WMCR business assistant Darlene Boncella
To give toys:
Those attending the Share A Caring Christmas event Dec. 11 at Nye Ford on Route 5 are asked to bring an unwrapped toy, either new or used toys in good condition.
Toys can be dropped off before that date at the dealership during regular business hours.
To receive toys
Sign up for toys at the Salvation Army, 217 Cedar St., Oneida or call 363-7560 until Dec. 3.
How to help
Any local group or organization is welcome to collect toys on behalf of Share A Caring Christmas and deliver them to the Nye Ford dealership before Dec. 11. To volunteer to help at the event, call Darlene Boncella or Joel Meltzer at WMCR, 363-6050.

The wine might be a piece of it, if you are indeed drinking a fair amount. The issue there, as I understand it, is that calories from alcohol are burned preferentially. This means that any calories you take in from wine will be used first, sidelining the burning of other ingested calories or stored calories (i.e., fat).
I don't remember what you posted regarding dairy consumption, but you might also reconsider your approach to that. Everyone seems to have a different response to it, but I think it's generally accepted that dairy creates a surprisingly strong insulin response and, on top of that, there's no real reason one would need dairy, so it might be another place to check.
The final thing I'll say is that, while it's generally talked about that someone who carries a lot of extra fat is unhealthy, it probably bears repeating that very *low* fat isn't really healthy either. In other words, part of your journey might be accepting where your body wants to fall in terms of composition once your metabolism is working properly.
If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea -- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Appropriately enough for a man whose team has employed one of the best clutch passers and some of the top rushers in NFL history, Dan Rooney is equally comfortable in the air or on the ground.
Rooney has long been one of the NFL's most influential owners, a Hall of Famer largely responsible for settling several NFL strikes and preventing others by designing the league's current salary-cap system.
But even as NFL franchises become so expensive they are out of reach for all but the super wealthy, the Pittsburgh Steelers' president remains a throwback to the less-affluent days when teams struggled to make the weekly payroll and TV contracts paid tens of thousands of dollars, not billions.
The family-owned Steelers have long been one of the NFL's most profitable teams, with a coast-to-coast fan base and sellout crowds for every home game since 1972, yet the 70-year-old Rooney eschews the trappings of the rich.
He drives himself to his office in a nondescript black sedan, and he planned to walk to Monday night's home game against the Colts. His North Side neighborhood was abandoned decades ago by other prosperous families, but Rooney remains, unwilling to give up the house originally purchased by his father, Steelers founder Art Rooney.
He eats lunch daily in the team cafeteria, waiting in line with everyone else, sitting one day with the office staff, the next day with an NFL official who might be traveling through town. Unlike teams whose media guides spew page after page of information about their owners, the Steelers' guide has no Rooney biography or a picture.
Though long known as a tough negotiator during contract talks, Rooney has remained close to hundreds of former players. When the late Mike Webster was homeless, Rooney paid his hotel bills for months. Later, he lobbied to get the Hall of Fame center $110,200 in annual disability pay from the NFL pension fund, even though Webster was not physically disabled.
Rooney also was unhappy that Terry Bradshaw was estranged from the team, mostly because of the Hall of Fame quarterback's mistaken belief the Steelers no longer appreciated him. So, thanks partly to Rooney's power of persuasion, Bradshaw agreed to be honored during a halftime ceremony Monday night.
"He was one of the great quarterbacks of all time," Rooney said. "It will be special."
Even if Rooney himself acts as if he's anything but special.
Like many team owners, Rooney has a private plane, but this is no million-dollar corporate jet. It's a 1981-model Beechcraft that Rooney pilots himself, to practice or to nearby NFL meetings.
Rooney made the headlines - a place he prefers to leave to his players - when the small plane lost power on a training camp trip this summer, forcing him to crash land at the Allegheny County airport.
Rooney realizes how close he came to disaster but prefers to think of the experience a different way.
"I think it was my greatest landing," Rooney said.
Since then, friends, family members and coach Bill Cowher have urged him to stay close to the ground, so Rooney plans to do exactly that next spring.
Partly to recognize Pittsburgh as the starting point for Lewis and Clark's exploration of America 200 years ago, Rooney and son Art Rooney II, a Steelers vice president, and 30 family members plan to trek nearly 1,000 miles of the original 2,000-mile trip.
The group will travel from Montana to Oregon, partly by canoe and horseback, backpacking and camping along the way. Rooney will be the chief photographer.
Cowher isn't surprised his boss will make the rugged trip, even though the only trekking some NFL owners do is from their limousine to their hotel suite. Rooney was an athlete himself, making second-team Pittsburgh all-Catholic schools quarterback in high school. The first teamer was the late Johnny Unitas.
"He's an amazing man," Cowher said.

Mr. Cipriano was arrested in July 10, 2012 after a joint investigation by the Franklin Township Police Department and the Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office. The investigation began when a Franklin Township resident reported to the Franklin Township Police Department that she noticed items in her home to have been disturbed and she was missing jewelry and electronics. The Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office responded and conducted forensic examinations in the residence. The investigation developed information from observant citizens which led to the arrest of Mr. Cipriano.
Mr. Cipriano pled guilty to one count of Burglary and was sentenced in Superior Court by The Honorable Stephen B. Rubin, J.S.C. to five (5) years in state prison and to pay restitution in the amount of $35,485 to the victim.
Prosecutor Kearns praised all those involved with this case… "This was a collaborative investigation that brought together the combined efforts of law enforcement and members of the public who collectively worked together to bring this individual to justice. The violation of someone's personal residence is a traumatic event and we are glad we were able to give these residents the piece of mind that the person who did this was caught and punished. The investigation, arrest, and prosecution were done with the utmost of professionalism and I commend all involved."

About UsIn Montana for the past 28 years, the Coyote Roadhouse has been offering it's creative cuisine in cooking and pottery. All of our recipes in food and glazes are personally created by Gary Hastings. Each piece of porcelain is hand crafted and a work of art. The unique glazes move and interact differently under each firing, therefore creating a mood for each piece. Most importantly, our pottery is free of lead and other chemical additives. We will be updating and creating new designs for your continued pleasure, so please check on our web site often for the latest creations. Hope to see you soon. You may also view our other website Coyote Roadhouse Inn.
Capturing the ancient oriental art of porcelain with its distinct colors and beauty, the Coyote Utsuwa for Ikebana proves to be the perfect gift any time of the year. The secret of the Ikebana's ability to keep your flowers living longer and looking fresher lies inside with the kenzan or frog pin.
The stems of your flowers are pierced with the prongs of the kenzan which secures and enables the water inside the utsuwa to travel to the blossoms of your flowers and maintain their beauty and aroma up to three weeks.
Simple cleaning will preserve each Ikebana. Begin by adding one teaspoon of vinegar to the Utsuwa, then rinse it out, fill with clean water, and display your Ikebana. You can also add one drop of bleach (from an eye dropper) when filling the utsuwa with water. The bleach helps clean the vessel without harming your flowers.

ANTONIO Cassano's first-half header and Mario Balotelli's spectacular late volley gave Italy a 2-0 win over Ireland which took them into the Euro 2012 quarterfinals as Group C runners-up last night.
Cassano, who missed half the season with AC Milan after a minor heart operation, headed home 10 minutes before the break and Balotelli hooked the ball home in the final minute to leave Italy second with five points behind Spain.
Italy, who played with one eye on the Croatia vs Spain game, deserved their win although they had to survive an aggressive late rally from Ireland before substitute Balotelli's strike.
The physical Irish, already eliminated after two defeats, forced a flurry of late free kicks and corners as Italy, who gave up leads in 1-1 draws with Spain and Croatia, again appeared to tire.
Having conceded early goals in losses to Croatia and Spain, Ireland were determined to attack.
Backed by a vociferous and large contingent in the crowd, they looked briefly threatening against an Italian side which featured four changes to the starting line-up.
Italy took time to get going with Andrea Pirlo getting plenty of ball but struggling to find openings for Cassano and strike partner Antonio Di Natale who replaced Balotelli in the starting line-up.
Di Natale had the first real chance after a break down the left by Federico Balzaretti and there were appeals for handball as his shot was blocked by a defender.
Cassano then had a shot fumbled by Shay Given before Italy went ahead from a corner.
Pirlo's inswinging effort found Cassano at the near post and, although Given got a hand to his header, the ball crossed the line before Damien Duff, making his 100th appearance, could hook it away.
Italy kept attacking after the break, Cassano wasting a good chance with a side-footed shot before Daniele De Rossi curled another effort over.
Keith Andrews reminded Italy that the game was not over as his awkward long-range shot gave Gianluigi Buffon his first real test of the game on the hour.
Another thumping Andrews shot was saved by Buffon as Italy clung on and the Ireland midfielder was sent off for his second bookable offence moments before Balotelli settled matters with a superb piece of skill, the maverick forward living up to his reputation when he failed to celebrate his stunning goal.
Defending champions Spain left it late before ousting Croatia 1-0 in Gdansk to reach the quarterfinals.
After a tight encounter, Jesus Navas bundled in a close-range winner in the 87th minute to send the World Cup winners through.

For most eligible employees, premium conversion becomes effective on October 8, 2000 [pay period 22], with the first pre-tax FEHB deduction occurring with the associated pay date near the end of October.
New Employees/ Employees with an Initial Opportunity to Enroll in the FEHB
If your initial opportunity to enroll in FEHB occurs on or after October 1, your agency must deduct your premiums on a pre-tax basis from your pay effective with the first applicable payroll period beginning on or after October 1, 2000, unless you have waived participation in premium conversion.
Transfer-in FEHB Enrollment
Under CSRS/FERS, your employing office must transfer-in your FEHB enrollment as of your effective date of participation in premium conversion. Procedures and guidelines pertaining to the transfer of the FEHB enrollment of reemployed annuitants who participate in premium conversion are outlined in Payroll Office Letter P-00-13 [129 KB], FEHB Premium Conversion.
Employing Agency Must Contribute Employer Share of Premium
Prior to premium conversion, the employer share of the FEHB premium for reemployed annuitants under CSRS/FERS was paid from an OPM appropriation. Effective with premium conversion, your employing office must contribute the employer share of the FEHB premium for all reemployed annuitants that are enrolled in the FEHB as employees. The employer contribution for reemployed annuitants will be remitted to OPM in the same manner as that for other employees.
Separation from Active Service
Your participation in premium conversion ends on the last day of the last pay period as an employee. When you separate from active service, your FEHB enrollment must be transferred back from your employing agency to OPM or the appropriate retirement system.

Time for a Third Party?
Rhodes Cook is a veteran Washington political analyst who tracks national elections and voting trends and publishes a bimonthly political newsletter. Click here for Mr. Cook's full bio.
The time could finally be ripe for the creation of a major third party.
Both the Democrats and Republicans these days are viewed with "minimum high regard." The number of voters who register as independents is growing. And the twin conditions that have been present for most of the significant third-party movements in the past – political, social or economic upheaval and an embattled president – are both in place as 2012 approaches.
Yet launching a major third party is easier said than done. No candidate outside the two-party system has ever won the White House and third parties have rarely captured a significant share of congressional seats.
Over the course of our nation's history, only eight independent or third-party candidates for president have drawn even 10% of the popular vote. That averages out to about one such showing every quarter century, with the most recent occurring in 1992 when independent Ross Perot drew 19% of the popular vote for president but failed to carry a single state.
The barriers to an effective challenge to the two-party system are high. Considerable time and energy must be expended on obtaining a spot on the 50 state ballots. Independent or third-party movements operate at a considerable financial deficit compared with the Democrats and Republicans, who are usually flush with cash. And as a presidential campaign proceeds, even the most promising third party sheds support as it becomes apparent that the winner will be from one of the two major parties.
In the Mood for Change
But might 2012 be different?
It just could be. Voter dissatisfaction with both major parties is palpable. And a beleaguered economy that refuses to rebound has left many voters in a state of agitated frustration. That mood has played out with gusto during the 2010 primary season, especially on the Republican side, where conservative grass-roots activists have taken on the GOP establishment in a number of states and won.
At the heart of the fury has been the tea party movement, which has emerged as a potent force within the Republican Party. But it could be a powerful third party in 2012 if large elements of it decide to shift gears and operate as an independent force outside the GOP. That could happen. A CBS News/New York Times survey on the tea party movement earlier this year found that while a slight majority did not think there was the need for a third party, 40% did.
Similarly, on the left, there is mounting unrest with President Barack Obama and his policies. This dissatisfaction could fuel a challenge to the incumbent in the Democratic primaries and/or a left-wing third party effort in the fall, a la Ralph Nader in 2000.
And then, there is the neglected middle of the political spectrum. It has been the target of the most successful independent or third party campaigns for president in recent years – that of John Anderson in 1980 and Mr. Perot in 1992 and 1996.
Beleaguered Incumbents
Mr. Anderson, a moderate Republican representative from Illinois, ran as a candidate who wore "his wallet on the right and his heart on the left." He drew 7% of the popular vote in a contest in which Republican Ronald Reagan defeated the economically vexed Democratic incumbent, Jimmy Carter.
In the 1990s, Mr. Perot ran as a sharp critic of the growing national deficit and its debilitating effect on the nation's economy. When Democrat Bill Clinton ousted the economically beleaguered GOP incumbent, George H.W. Bush, in 1992, Mr. Perot received nearly 20% of the vote. Four years later, when Mr. Clinton easily won re-election, Mr. Perot pulled 8%.
With his considerable wealth and his ability to self-finance his campaign, Mr. Perot became the model for modern day third-party candidates. That is why so much attention was lavished on Mayor Michael Bloomberg as a prospective independent presidential candidate in 2008. And it is why the spotlight might shine again on the wealthy New Yorker in the year ahead. If he ran for the White House, Mr. Bloomberg – like Mr. Perot – would almost certainly be seen as a spear-carrier for the disgruntled center.
In short, there could be a viable attack on the two parties in 2012 from the left, the right, or the center. The fate this fall of two high-profile independents – Florida Gov. Charlie Crist (running for the Senate) and former Sen. Lincoln Chafee (running for the governorship of Rhode Island) – could help indicate whether conditions are as ripe for an assault on the nation's two-party duopoly as they appear to be. It would not answer, however, from which direction such an attack might come.

Tottenville head coach Jim Munson gave his team a good talking to prior to the game and told them that they earned their way to Yankee Stadium, that no one handed them anything this season.
He told his troops that he thought Lincoln was just going through a formality and that the Brooklyn school thought they had already won the championship.
Early on, it sure looked that way as the Railsplitters jumped out to a 20-0 advantage. But the Pirates scored 27 unanswered points to take a 27-20 lead.
But Lincoln would score the final eight points of the game, the last two of which came on a safety that sealed the Pirates' fate.

This inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary conference aims to explore the role of ecology and environmental ideas in the context of contemporary society and international politics, and assess the implications for our understandings of fairness, justice and global citizenship.
The 2003 conference is one of an annual series of conferences which make up a wider project concerned with the possibilities of integrating social, economic and environmental concerns by focusing on four inter-locking areas (http://www.inter-disciplinary.net/ejgc.htm).
In particular, the 2nd Global Conference on Ecological Justice and Global Citizenship will explicitly explore the relationships between environments, sustainability and technology, the role of technology in creating possibilities for sustainable resources for the future, and the inherent problems and dangers which accompany that role.
Papers, presentations, reports and workshops are invited on any of the following indicative themes:
Papers will be considered on any related theme. 300 word abstracts should be submitted by Friday 7th November 2002. Full draft papers should be submitted by Wednesday 15th January 2003.
The conference is the second in an annual series of research projects, run under the general banner 'Probing the Boundaries'. It aims to create working 'encounter' groups between people of differing perspectives, disciplines, professions, and contexts. The project is to be supported by an e-mail discussion group, resource website, ISSN e-journal, and dedicated ISBN publication series.
Papers from the first conference are being published in a themed book. Selected papers accepted for and presented at the conference will be published in themed volumes.
For further details and information, please contact Dr Rob Fisher.

These slideshows highlight a few of my oil paintings
Commissioned Art
I got my start in professional painting by doing commissioned paintings.
Here are some very early ones.
Here are some very early ones.
The owner wanted a painting of his old family cabin. The canvas size was 36x40 inches.
The owner wanted a painting with a cabin nestled back in the trees, a large lake and
a small cabin. In the lower right he wanted his two dogs chasing a rabbit. The canvas size was 30x48 inches.
The customer provided old
black and white photos
which were returned.
Here are his dogs in the lower right of the painting.
