None of the above!
Allen Hischke 2 years, 4 months ago
This day. Memorial Day, is for honoring and celebrating our veterans and all the freedoms they have given us. The grand old waste of time days does none of this.
Allen Hischke 2 years, 4 months ago
Decoration Day Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for those who have fallen during service to our country. As we commemorate the soldiers we have lost, as well as wounded soldiers, bereaved families, orphans and widows, let's not forget the meaning and traditions behind this sacred holiday. Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day, as its purpose was to visit cemeteries and place flowers on the graves of soldiers who had died in the Civil War. In 1882, people started calling it "Memorial Day," and by the time World Wars I and II had ended, it had evolved into a day to honor all fallen military men and women, no matter what war they fought in. THIS is what we should be celebrating on this day of honor.

It's been 25 years since When Harry Met Sally blew cinema audiences away and firmly cemented itself in chick-flick history.
Yes, that infuriating love story between Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal had us all on the edge of our seats, with its 80s wardrobe and retro phone receivers.
And we even learned a thing or two about the complex stuff between men and women, from how to fake orgasms to what men are actually thinking when they don't call.
Call it therapy, but this big blockbuster certainly broke down barriers between the sexes and even got us debating whether men and women can ever really just be friends?
To refresh your memories about this all-time classic, we've compiled the best 10 lines from the film, designed to have you reaching for your stonewash jeans and craving a shaggy perm before you know it:
1. "When I buy a book, I always read the last page first. That way, in case I die before I finish, I know how it ends." Sounds sensible?
2. "You look like an angel but actually you are the Angel of Death" has to be one of the harshest put downs ever, right?
3. THAT fake orgasm and the old lady response, "I'll have what she's having"
4. A very simple "Goodnight" that we ALL know means so much more
5. "You say things like that and you make it impossible for me to hate you" was the line all women can relate to
6. The hot debate: "No man can ever be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He'll always want to have sex with her"
7. "Suppose nothing happens to you. Suppose you lived out your whole life and nothing happens you never meet anybody you never become anything and finally you die in one of those New York deaths which nobody notices for two weeks until the smell drifts into the hallway."
8. "Great! A woman friend... You know you may be the first attractive woman I have not wanted to sleep with in my entire life"
9. "And it's not because I'm lonely and it's not because it's New Year's Eve..."
10. The tearjerker: "When you realise that you wanna spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible"

I am not very pleased with my set of two small mugs. Maybe poor is too low of a rating, because I should have figured out that size "small" is tiny like an espresso cup. I have another ribbon rose mug, which I thought was the small size, because it is modest in size. However, small is like a 1/3 or 1/2 measure, and large is ~6 ounces. The ribbon rose design is very pretty with a gold triim along the rim. The handles on the small mugs, however, are set slightly crooked instead of straight up and down, and it is noticeable because of the misaligned pattern.

I recently attended the candidates' forum in Brandon and found the word "transparency" used repeatedly. I held the question back that I wanted to ask to find out if the candidates truthfully thought the proposed budget was, in fact, "transparent." The reason I held back was because three of the four candidates are incumbents. Of course they would think it is; they approved it.
CHITTENDEN — The Middlebury Union High School girls' and boys' Nordic ski teams ended up taking fourth and fifth, respectively, in Division II at the two-day state championship meet that was completed this week.
The Tiger teams hosted the freestyle legs on Feb. 20 at Rikert Ski Touring Center in Ripton, and the classic races were held in Otter Valley's back yard in Chittenden at the Mountain Top Inn on Tuesday.
Woodstock swept both the girls' and boys' titles.
BRANDON — A Mount St. Joseph boys' basketball team with a misleading 6-14 record and No. 11 seed in Division II knocked No. 6 Otter Valley Union High School out of the playoffs on Tuesday, 60-32, in a first-round game at OV.
The Otters led just once, 3-2, at 6:40 of the first period on a Connor Gallipo three-pointer, and could never get going offensively against the box-and-one defense that the Mounties used to keep high-scoring OV junior John Winslow in check and off the offensive boards.
ADDISON COUNTY — The Vergennes and Mount Abraham union high school boys' basketball teams were set to open Division II postseason play on Wednesday after the deadline for this issue of the Independent, while Middlebury will host a D-I first-round game on Thursday.
BARRE — The Mount Abraham Union High School girls' basketball team on Monday took another step toward a second straight Division II title, throttling No. 4 BFA-Fairfax, 56-23, in a semifinal at the Barre Auditorium.
The 17-4 Eagles will play for the championship at the Aud on Saturday, with the opponent being the winner of a Wednesday semifinal between No. 2 Fair Haven (16-5) and No. 3 Milton (15-6). That game was played after the deadline for this edition of the Independent.
VERGENNES — The Vergennes Union High School cheerleading team finished third in Division I on Saturday at the state championship meet at VUHS behind two larger schools, first-place Essex and second-place Rutland.
Essex edged Rutland for the D-I title, 177-166, with VUHS in third with 119.
In D-II, Poultney (139) prevailed over Mount St. Joseph (120) and Mill River (103).
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury College men's hockey team capped off two solid weekends by scoring four third-period goals vs. visiting Hamilton on Sunday to win, 5-2, and clinch a first-round NESCAC home playoff game.
The Panthers, who also knocked off second-place Amherst, 3-2, on Saturday at Kenyon Arena, finished their regular season at 11-10-3 overall and 9-7-2 in NESCAC play.

A Fernley mother is in jail after allegedly plunging a kitchen knife into the chest of her sleeping 7-year-old son Thursday night, saying it was at the urging of God, police said.
Jeannine Ravenna Brandt, 40, is being held in the Lyon County Jail on suspicion of felony battery with intent to kill and child abuse.
According to Lyon County Detective Lt. Bryan Veil, Brandt's husband called officers to the home on Primton Way in the Villa Mobile Home Park about
11 p.m. on a report of an accidental stabbing.
According to the police report, Brandt's husband reported his wife was "sleepwalking and stabbed son with knife."
When deputies arrived they found Brandt in her bedroom and the boy lying in his bed screaming. The knife had been removed from his chest by his mother before police arrived, said Veil.
"When deputies found her she had her knees on the floor and was bent over her bed," said Veil. "She told us she did it because God told her to do it."
Veil said she also called the child the "anti-Christ."
The boy was taken to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno and was listed in good condition Friday in the pediatric unit of the hospital. Veil said it appears the boy's ribs prevented the knife from causing severe damage.
A 2-year-old child was removed unharmed from the home.
Brandt was allegedly prescribed anti-depressant medication but apparently had not been taking them.
On her Myspace page, she describes herself as "friendly, open, honest, and I truly love people." She said her heroes are Jesus Christ and her mother, and lists "playing/-reading with my children" as something she enjoys.
She also mentioned she enjoys investigation-themed television shows such as CSI and NCIS and books by crime writer Patricia Cornwell. "I enjoy her use of forensic technique descriptions."
Brandt's bail is set at $150,000.

Sara Bareilles Brings Piano Pop to Revolution
After opening for James Blunt, Counting Crows, Aqualung, Marc Broussard, Guster, and Maroon 5, Sara Bareilles' 2007 chart success of her single "Love Song" helped put her name atop the marquee. With three albums, several high-profile TV appearances, and a performance at last year's G-20 economic summit courtesy of first lady Michelle Obama, she's earned respectability and reaped its rewards. No wonder — her multi-octave vocals and edgy jazz-pop piano style have summoned comparisons to Norah Jones and Fiona Apple, while her effusive performances assure her a stardom all her own.
As for support act Greg Laswell, his somber ruminations recall other haunted souls who delve into the twilight worlds of inner turmoil and stark confession — Elliott Smith, Jeff Buckley, and M. Ward, to name a few. But Laswell's ability to draw from his real-life experiences makes his songs seem both real and surreal. His four albums — plus a stunning covers EP — affirm his penchant for sketching cinematic soundscapes for his weary ruminations. All that subdued ambiance still leaves an emphatic impression, though. His latest release, Take a Bow, is no exception, merging intimate minor-key ballads with stirring melodies. Yes, the album title proves prophetic.

A new approach to tests of pricing-to-market
This study proposes a new approach to tests of pricing-to-market, which defines the responsiveness of export prices to currency movements. Pricing-to-market parameters may be susceptible to time variation, and we account for this in a novel theoretical and empirical contribution to the literature. We extend the benchmark model of pricing-to-market to account for instability in the relationship between export prices and exchange rates. Moreover, using an empirical methodology robust to parameter instability, we examine the forecasting performance of a pricing-to-market model. In doing so we apply a selection of model mis-specification tests robust to varying degrees of parameter evolution to recent aggregate and disaggregate UK export data. Our estimation results provide strong evidence of pricing-to-market and the instability in the response of export prices to exchange rate fluctuations.

The neutraceutical business that has obviously been dramatically impacted by this unfortunate event has only a nominal value in the overall NEPT 'sum of the parts'. At $3.31, if you back out the $40M in cash, their 60% investment in APO, and their other subsidiary Neurobiopharm (soon to be spun out), it leaves only about 50 cents a share for their NKO neutraceutical business. So once the shares start trading, if the price falls too far, it would be the same as saying they are better off to bulldoze the sight and sell the land - because there was no value assigned to the business anyways. Which is crazy given the intellectual property, the patents, the customer base, the science... I would have been way more concerned had the share price been trading at $7 - which is where it belonged. But at $3.31. The neutraceutical business is only trading at the price of the underlying land anyways......Lets focus more on the victims - that is the sad part. The company will be fine.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
But NEPT will not have any product to sell for a long time.
How bad was the accident? Try to find some information & news but couldn't. Would appreciate any information.
I read that their existing plant is completely destroyed, but the expansion plant is still intact. Trying to find the article that stated that. If I can find it I'll post it.
...well said...anyone who sells here really doesn't understand the company...I hope the death count stops at three...
I warned you all how lose and goosey this company's financial mgt is and they way mgt promotes the stock. Yes I believe in the product as I use it but would never invest in this company tied to my beliefs especially given valuation granted. I'm sorry about the accident and to all that died, but for the stock to haulted for most on the month just exposes what I said of mgt. Its absurd....

Tyson Marquez Starts Camp For Concepcion Rematch
By Alfredo Jaime Gomez, notifight.com
Hernan "Tyson" Marquez is taking his latest training camp very seriously, as he expects a tough defense of his World Boxing Association flyweight championship. Marquez will rematch Panamanian star Luis "El Nica" Concepcion on the 29th of October at the Multipurpose Center of Hermosillo, Mexico. In April Marquez traveled to Panama to battle Concepcion for eleven grueling rounds in a Fight of The Year candidate. Concepcion's face was too damaged to allow him to continue beyond the eleventh.
Marquez has spent the last two weeks of training in Los Mochis, with his trainer Don Manuel Montiel, who is also training WBO super bantamweight champion Jorge "Travieso" Arce for his next fight on September 24th.
Marquez is very motivated but gives Concepcion a lot of respect for his bravery.
"I'm training twice as hard because Concepcion is a great fighter. The motivation and support of my countrymen is very important, so I am very hard at work," Marquez said.
This better be televised. Your gonna tell me you rather have Broner and Rico Romas on hbo instead of this fuken fight? What a joke, this is gonna be a hell of a fightPost a Comment - View More User Comments (1)

In a free market, competition is considered good.
But when that competition is between health care providers, challenges can arise.
What some see as a battle between Poudre Valley Health System, based in Fort Collins, and Banner Health - the Phoenix-based system that operates North Colorado Medical Center and McKee Medical Center in Loveland - has escalated over the last year. PVHS is building its first permanent facility in Greeley - a standalone emergency department - while NCMC is partnering with Kaiser Permanente, one of the largest health insurers and service providers in the nation.
Ultimately, what concerns us is what this competition means for patients. For non-medical professionals, evaluating medical services can be confusing. It puts more responsibility on the patient, who now must educate himself on what services are available where and how much that service may cost.
We also wonder about unnecessary duplication of services. In a race to attract patients, both hospitals have worked to secure state-of-the-art technology, which is expensive. Diagnostic tools such as MRIs are now located within close proximity. Soon, both Medical Center of the Rockies and NCMC will have emergency helicopters. We wonder how much these helicopters will be utilized.
In the end, patients pay for this expensive technology, helicopters and hospitals. Higher medical costs are a reality and may force patients to shop around for the best price for services.
There is also a small chance that competition among hospitals won't necessarily result in better care for patients. For example, hospitals often have specialties. NCMC has a state-of-the-art burn unit, which provides an expensive and successful treatment for serious burn patients.
With the emphasis on competition rather than cooperation, if PVHS has a severe burn patient, will that patient be transferred to its competitor for treatment? And visa-versa. If PVHS offers a specialty treatment that would benefit a patient, would NCMC be willing to transfer that patient to its competitor? Not all patients will be aware which facility offers the best treatment for their particular medical issue.
The days of hospitals being run by philanthropic and religious organizations is basically over. Hospitals are corporations now, and even though they are nonprofit, the bottom line is ultimately what will keep them in business. This also creates a reality of having to be concerned with things like payer mix, making sure enough insured and private-pay patients are available to offset care given to indigent patients.
What the competition does is force patients to be advocates for their own medical care. Patients need to be willing to ask important questions to get the best care possible: What facility offers this service? How much will it cost at both facilities?
What is the patient outcome at this hospital for my diagnosis? Do I want to wait two hours in this emergency department, or drive miles to be treated faster at another one? Does my doctor have privileges at this hospital? Would I rather travel for care, or have a procedure closer to home? Will my insurance cover me at a different facility? Will I be able to get after-care, such as rehabilitation or therapy?
Will this competition eventually result in the best care for patients? That's a question that only time will answer.
Ultimately, we hope both hospitals will keep their focus on providing the best care for their patients at the best price and be willing to cooperate when that is in the best interest for those they serve.

Discord over Heartland permit status
Fri, Apr 11th, 2003
Posted in Features
Posted in Features
The Preston City Council met Monday evening, April 7, on a day when mother nature struck the area with a heavy spring storm. When it came time to discuss the Heartland Energy & Recycling plant and the action to rescind the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) of February 18, 2003, the misunderstanding the issue generated threatened to bring the storm inside.
Mayor Dave Pechulis said that we �got the cart before the horse once, and we're about to do it again.� On February 18 the council voted to rescind the conditional use permit (CUP) issued by the council on May 20, 2002. This was based on legal advice from the legal firm of Kennedy and Graven. Mary Tietjen of Kennedy and Graven had found two areas where she believed the CUP was at odds with Minnesota statute: an environmental assessment worksheet (EAW) had not been issued by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), and an environmental impact statement (EIS) had not been judged to be either necessary or unnecessary. Since that time, the MPCA has accepted the EAW and didn't require an EIS. The problem the council faced on Monday night seemed to be over the definition of �rescind.� The dictionary says revoke, nullify, or cancel. The mayor and Council member Michael McGarvey understood that to mean that permitting process would need to start over from scratch. Meanwhile, Council member Jerry Scheevel's understanding of rescind was different. He believed that the process was somewhere in the middle, and that Heartland would not need to go through another public hearing. Mayor Pechulis felt he had been misled. Scheevel fired back that if there was any misleading, the mayor need only �look in a mirror.� Several citizens aired their opinions and suggestions. Kay Laging spoke of the right to vote on the Heartland issue. She expressed a desire for a special election which would be the only way to guage how people felt about the project. She read a petition calling for a referendom on the subject which will be circulated around town to help determine where citizens stand. The signed petitions will be presented to the council at the next meeting. The city of Preston ordinance requires the City Planning & Zoning Commission to find the following before a CUP is issued: "Some of the required Findings are the conditional use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purpose already permitted; not substantially diminish and impair property values; not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding vacant property; adequate facilities are being provided; adequate measures will be taken to prevent or control offensive odor, fumes, etc." McGarvey said that he hadn't expected a problem. If the process starts over, then he is going to add conditions Scheevel assumed that once the MPCA approved the project that no specific changes should be required. Scheevel sees many of the objections being raised to start the process over as delaying tactics. He cited a letter from Kennedy and Graven intended to clear up misunderstandings and concerns that stated that the �effect of the rescission was to put the City back to the position it was in immediately before the Council voted to approve the CUP.� The letter further stated that a CUP can only be revoked if �the applicant has violated the terms of the CUP; there was no basis to revoke the CUP.� According to Kennedy and Graven there is a 60-day rule. Since the MPCA issued its findings on February 25, 2003, the City must now approve or deny Heartland's request within 60 days. This would be possible to do if the Planning & Zoning Commission, which meets on April 14, makes its recommendations, and the Council makes its final decision on April 21, their next meeting. If the Commission makes a recommendation on the fourteenth, it can approve, deny or give conditional approval. They would need to adopt findings to support the recommendations and prescribe a time limit for the start and completion of the project. Kennedy and Graven also state that the City is not �legally required to hold another public hearing.� They conclude that because of the 60-day rule there is not enough time for another public hearing. The suggestion of no further hearings on this issue caused considerable displeasure among the citizens present, many of whom were members of the SouthEastern Minnesotans for Environmental Protection (SEMEP). McGarvey, who is a member of the Planning & Zoning Commission, stated that he was going to ask for a 60-day extension on April 14. There was mention made of changes in the plans of Heartland since the original application was submitted. Apparently, Heartland had intended to burn 20% wood to start and now plans are to use LP for that function. Council member Heath Mensink saw the problem as pretty cut and dried. He believed that Planning and Zoning should see if the application is filled out properly, if not it would be invalid and the process would need to start over again. Council member Mike Gartner agreed. The public can attend the P & Z meeting on the fourteenth. One last issue was raised by Mayor Pechulis, who was concerned that Fred Nagle, the city administrator, had asked Mary Tietjen of Kennedy and Graven to put together a �finding of fact� without the approval of the Council. Consequently, a motion was made to retain Kennedy and Graven for the �finding of fact� on the Heartland issue. It was approved. Karen Reisner can be contacted at email@example.com

Puerto Rico 4-H Members Learn to Clean, Separate, Cook and Chill
Yesterday, members of Puerto Rico's 4-H club learned about the importance of safe food handling at a hands-on, entertaining food safety camp. The Food Safety and Inspection Service's Food Safety Education Staff collaborated with the Puerto Rico Food Safety Educational Consortium to host 60 kids at the University of Puerto Rico's Botanical Gardens in an effort to instill lifelong good habits that will reduce their risk of foodborne illness.
During the event, called "Exploring the World of Food Safety through Science," the 4-H club toured 6 interactive learning stations that taught them how to prevent food poisoning by featuring the four food safety behaviors from the Food Safe Families campaign: Clean, Separate, Cook, and Chill.

When I brought the cake to her for her daughter's birthday, she started laughing and screaming at the same time. I guess I nailed it. it was kind of hard not really knowing first hand what he looks like. I'll have to youtube him to see what he sings. Cake was a vegan chocolate cake with vegan buttercream. The notes were royal icing and of course the stage, figure and everything else was fondant.

2000 Dodge Dakota Sport Plus 2dr Regular Cab SB
This truck has had no mechanical issues for the 7 years I've owned it (it was recalled for ball joints which they replaced but were not worn). My only regret is not having bought the 4 door version and not bothered with the camper shell.
Durability including the styling which is still nice to look at.
Little more room in the standard cab.
4.7 is great, awesome power, great
comfort and features, infinity audio
system is nice, and it rides nice for a
truck, handles good, and quality has
been good so far.
4.7L V8 AWESOME!!!!!!!! Infinity Audio
GAS MILEAGE!!!!!!! New brakes, some
with less brake dust and longer life,
maybe some tranny work too.

Helpful Information
In general, if a vehicles parking brake doesn't hold, or travels to the end of its throw, the rear brake shoes need to be checked for replacement. Drum brakes generally cost less to produce than disc brake systems and are less efficient than their counterpart, this is why there are featured on the rear only. Each brake shoe replacement varies, and some applications require a spring removal tool. Drum style brakes are more susceptible to moisture which can decrease braking ability. Brake components are manufactured using an asbestos style of material which can be hazardous when inhaled, using an air filter mask can help avoid accidental ingestion. When replacing brake shoes check spring hardware (return and mounting), and replace if damaged or broken, on larger applications replacing the spring hardware is necessary. When changing brake shoes, disassemble one side at a time to preserve a reference copy on the opposing side. Some brake systems must be adjusted after assembly, these systems generally provide an adjustment slot which is used to manually turn an adjuster wheel to obtain proper "shoe to drum" clearance.
Common Problems
Low brake pedal
due to improper adjustment.

How Your Dog's Personality Affects Training
By Rosalee Kaschel
Intuitively, we all know that our dogs are like no others. They react hilariously to the most benign and everyday of sounds, or they sleep on their backs trying to copy the humans they watch daily.

Every January it happens. Lines form for the cardio machines at the gym, extra fruit and vegetables work their way into shopping carts and just about everyone you know is talking about their health goals for the coming year. Then by February, the cardio machine lines have disappeared, processed foods start edging out the fresh produce and you notice pizza delivery ringing your no-carb-neighbor's doorbell. Hey! I've been there too. I don't judge.
For many who've been successful, the secret isn't always a complete and radical overhaul – instead, they focus on just a few simple changes that can really add up over time.
With that approach in mind, we've created the 14-Day Blast Off. It's a fun series of 14 easy-to-accomplish missions to help you be a healthier you in just 14 ways. With just one small step a day you can make giant leaps toward better health. Cue the space puns! Oh wait, I already did.
Each mission is a simple thing you can do to help get yourself healthier. Plus you'll find tips, recipes, cooking instruction and a great community that you can share your successes with.
Sample Mission:
Try an Unprocessed Snack
Don't let hunger eclipse your health! Send your energy level to the moon with a quick snack that combines two or more whole foods.
Spread your favorite nut or seed butter on a slice of whole grain bread with some fruit-sweetened jam, munch an ounce of raw almonds with a piece of fresh fruit or try some hummus and veggies with a few whole grain crackers. You'll feel more powerful than a solar flare!
