text: 167 FXUS63 KARX 282334 AFDARX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service La Crosse WI 634 PM CDT Wed Sep 28 2016 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday) Issued at 322 PM CDT Wed Sep 28 2016 Primary challenge this evening and overnight will be cloud trends, which in turn will impact temperatures and possible fog development. GFS/NAM/RAP relative humidity fields show low-level drying from east to west overnight with fingers of higher moisture remaining across the western forecast area through 12Z Thursday. This idea matches current satellite imagery with more cumuliform clouds mainly along and east of the MS River with a thicker stratus deck back across central IA into south-central MN. Thus, current thinking is for cloud cover to slowly dissipate from east to west this evening and overnight with at least areas of clear skies across WI by daybreak Thursday. Would expect coolest temperatures and possible fog development in these areas with lows possibly into the lower 40s in favored cool spots of the cranberry bogs. Further west, upper 40s to near 50 degrees is more reasonable. Thursday will be partly to mostly sunny as high pressure ridge nudges east toward the forecast area. Temperatures will be in the 60s to near 70 degrees with a light northerly wind. .LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday) Issued at 322 PM CDT Wed Sep 28 2016 Thursday night through Saturday, 28.12Z model suite now in good agreement, lifting a cut-off closed low currently across the lower Great Lakes north and westward. This will result in increasing clouds from southeast to northwest Friday and Friday night as increasing wrap around mid-level moisture moves across the Upper MS River Valley. Did introduce some 20 POPs across far southwest WI Friday afternoon, but much of the day expected to be dry. Temperatures will be cloud dependent with highest values across southeast MN into central WI. Saturday, however, will be cloudy and cool with periods of scattered showers as deeper moistening works into the region. Doesn`t appear to be a wash out, but occasional showers dropping a few hundredths of an inch at a time are possible. Highs will only be in the lower to mid 60s with light northeast wind. Will keep Sunday dry for now as closed low gets shoved eastward in response to a deepening trough across the western CONUS. However, the ECMWF still hangs onto a few lingering showers, so may need to slow eastward exit of precipitation in future forecasts. Monday into Tuesday look mainly dry and warmer with short-wave ridging aloft. Expect highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Next best chance for showers and thunderstorms will be Tuesday night into Wednesday as the aforementioned western CONUS trough moves into the nation`s mid-section. For now, chance POPs are reasonable until additional details emerge. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday evening) Issued at 634 PM CDT Wed Sep 28 2016 Upper level low pressure continues to spin over the lower Great Lakes, but with diurnally enhanced stratocumulus slowly expected to fade through the evening hours as drier air wraps in from the northeast. Later tonight, the big question will be potential fog and/or stratus development with a fairly moist boundary layer in place (especially places that saw some rain earlier in the day). However, the limiting factor remains fairly strong winds just above the shallow surface-based inversion. Hard to ignore guidance signals hinting that RST may stand the best shot at a brief period of IFR conditions with some fog development in lighter flow closer to approaching high pressure, though confidence not high enough just yet to take visibility below 2SM. At LSE, it does appear that winds will be enough to preclude fog development at the airport, but can`t rule out some river valley fog nearby and/or a brief period of broken 300 foot ceilings from stratus. All of that stuff should be history by around 14Z, with lots of dry air aloft leading to plenty of clear skies through the day on Thursday. && .ARX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...None. MN...None. IA...None. && $$ SHORT TERM...ROGERS LONG TERM...ROGERS AVIATION...Lawrence

Historical Traveler Reviews Aqua Palms Waikiki Honolulu
The Palms was great!
My wife and I stayed 7 nights at the Palms and thought it was a great deal! Like everyone has mentioned, it was recently renovated and so the rooms are like new. For the price, I was surprised at how nice everything was... I would rate this place higher than a 3-star property. The front desk staff were helpful with sending us to different restaurants, etc, and the location was great. We literally walked through the Hilton to get to the beach. Our room had a new microwave, mini-fridge, and cupboards so it was nice to be able to stock up on basic necessities (mostly cereal and milk and things for breakfast). We would definitely stay there again, for the price I think it's one of the best deals in Oahu!
Love it
Love this hotel. The price is great. The service is pretty good. The room is very clean. The location is perfect. It's not too far from waikiki beach and ala moana shopping centre. It's kind of in the middle.
The hotel just renovated, so everything is great.
For sure I will stay there again next time I go back to Honolulu. I strongly recommend it.
And also try the bus instead rent a car. I got 4 days pass for USD$20.00. The bus system is great.
Nice place..good value
We stayed at the Aqua Palms for 8 nights and booked through Travelocity. The hotel is very clean and new, just as the other reviewers have stated--they have undergone renovations, so everything looks new! The front desk staff are very pleasant and helpful and the housekeeping staff are excellent. Our room was small and we didn't have a full balcony but it served our needs. It was nice to have the fridge and microwave and a few dishes for cereal, etc. We walked through the Hilton to get to the beach. The pool is very small, but the area is nice with tables and lounge chairs. We received one free night, but didn't get the breakfasts or massage with our deal, as some reviewers did.
This was my fourth time to Hawaii, and for the price this hotel was definitely the cleanest and best value.
Great Deal
We got a great deal on travelocity. Stayed one night and moved to the Hilton Hawaiian Village to a timeshare because HHV could not give us the exact dates we wanted.
The room was great compared to what we were expecting. It even had a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Very clean and comfortable. Free local calls vs. $1.00 at Hilton, 10% off at the Wailana Coffee House, great deal all around.
Would recommend as it is close to everything.
Convenient and clean!
This hotel is just completing renovations. As many other reviewers have stated, it seemed as if we were among the first to stay in the renovated rooms. The room was small, but nicely furnished and very clean. The kitchenette with fridge, microwave, and a few dishes was very convenient. There are cute murals in the lobby and along the elevator area. The view of Waikiki was nice from our room and small but functional lanai. The beds were extremely comfortable. Very nice!
The staff was indeed friendly and helpful, very cheerful too. There is no concierge service yet but it is easy to walk across to the Hilton to pick up info, grab a bus, etc., and I was absolutely pleased with our room at the Aqua Palms. I don't think I would have enjoyed a more expensive room at the Hilton any more...the beaches are all public, and that's where we were, anyway, outdoors!
Clean and low-key
With newly renovated rooms, the Aqua Palms is a great deal. It seemed like we were the first ones to stay there after the reno's. It was great to have such a clean room as we were travelling with an toddler. Everything was brand new, even the kitchenette appliances.
We got a deal through Travelocity, approx $110 a night. The fifth night was free and included daily breakfasts (full breakfast, not continental) and 1 hr massage. The hotel itself is very low key, bare minimum staff and small pool. No big deal as we're there for the beaches and aren't high maintenance guests. Our room was a bit small, but for that price, can't complain. The hotel is not close to the beach, so I don't think it would be worth the extra money for an oceanview.
Parking is $15/night and practically every hotel in Waikiki charges for it. We paid for parking the first night, but were able to find street parking on subsequent nights. We were able to look down on our car from our room, so that was a plus. You wouldn't be able to do that in the middle of Waikiki. The hotel is within walking distance to Hilton Hawaiian Village, Ala Moana Shopping Centre and some great restaurants. Keo's (Thai) is great and very busy for takeout. Next door is Wailana Coffee House (breakfast included with our deal). The service is great and the food is great! It's open 24 hours.
As for the free massage, they were nice enough to split the hour into two 30 min sessions so that we could both get massages. You can either get it in your room or go to the Aqua Bamboo's Spa. We opted for the latter. The massage is done in a Cabana-like building beside their pool, which was a lot nicer than the one at the Palm. However, I don't think the rooms would be nicer. There were bedframes being stored on a bunch of the balconies. Anyway, the massage was excellent.
With the hotels in Waikiki starting to age, I highly recommend the newly renovated Aqua Palms. Definitely would stay there again. Maybe next time in a larger room.
Nice place!
We were a bit wary about staying here, as we've never stayed at an Aqua property before, but we thought it was great! Everything here is brand new... They apparently just finished a major renovation. We especially loved the location - Right across the street from the Hilton Hawaiian Village and the beach. The people at the front desk were really friendly, and everything was really clean. We'll definitely be back!
ELEGANT NEW and AFFORDABLE hotel! Should be 4 stars!!!
I discovered this hotel underwent some major renovations. The rooms are BRAND SPANKING NEW and we got a nice peekaboo view of the ocean as well as diamond head. One thing that impressed us was the nice decor and wow, granit countertops in the bathroom? While the elevator was still old, I was told it was because they were still undergoing some renovations in certain floors and the elevators were to be renovated last (so that construction equipment do not damage the interior of new elevators). Other than that, I found the location to be extremely convenient and the hotel to be much more elegant compared to the other 3 stars I've stayed at (ohana waikiki west, marine surf, continental surf etc.)
It is directly across the street from Hilton Hawaiian Village where people are paying over $289+ a night! And that's for a room without ocean view! We just walk through the Hilton Hawaiian to get to the beach. You can check out the penguins on your way through the lobby and if you're there during 3-5 or so, you can get free hawaiian fuit punch drinks. Pretty convenient. I think not too many other tripadvisors know about the palms waikiki. It used to be called the parkside and some other online hotel travel sites still list it as such. I think that's why it's still a bargain. I would definitely stay here again.
Clean, New, Convenient, Friendly
We just returned from a wonderful stay in Honolulu. In the past we have stayed in some old beat up, not so clean hotels so this time we wanted to be sure not to make this mistake happen again. This hotel was just renovated and is still finishing some minor renovations but is as new and clean as you'll find anywhere. The rates are very reasonable and it was just really pleasant to stay at a nice new, clean hotel. I travel a considerable amount for business and this is one of the most friendly, attentive and accomodating staff you'll find. There is not yet a Concierge service but the front desk staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. The hotel is located just across from the beach and its very convenient to catch numerous trolleys and busses to get around the island. We will be going back this winter for a week and have already made our reservations at Aqua Palms.
Alright i guess.... nit bad...
I stayed there for four nights and it was clean but the elevators were unfinished and a lot of work was being done... Our room had a nice view of the ocean but when it came to finding activities to do we were on our own. The hotel staff was kind of nice but they did not offer any information about the island. There was no resturants in the hotel and no room service. It was within walking distance of shops and resturants but it was kind of a far walk compared to other hotels just blocks away. It was nice to have a microwave and a small fridge. For the price it was nice but just keep in mind that the Hilton Hawaiian Village is just across the street so if you need to talk to a consierge or book activities that is the way to go... Also i would not recomend the pool but who needs one... You are in Hawaii!

Bilal's love for rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam
An incident which portrays sayyiduna Bilal radhiallahu anhu's intense love for Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
Bilal radiallahu anhu was among the first to embrace islam and he was the first person to give azaan in Masjide nabawi shareef. He continued with this khidmat of azaan for nearly 10 years!
When rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam left this world, Bilal radiallahu anhu went to sayyiduna abu Bakr radiallahu anhu and said:
"Ya khleefata rasulillah! I have heard rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam say "The best deed for a mu'min is al-jihadu fisabeelillah"
Sayiduna abu Bakr asked "So what do you want to do, O Bilal!" He replied: "I want to spend the rest of my life in protecting the borders of Islamic khilafah"
Abu Bakr asked: "But who will give Azan for us, ya Bilal?"
Bilal's eyes were filled with tears and he said: "I don't want to be a muazzin for anyone after Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam".
Abu Bakr said: " Please stay with us and continue with the khidmat of Azan".
Bilal replied: "If you had freed me for yourself then I will follow your instruction,(as a mark of respect and repaying the favour) however, if you had freed me for the sake of Allah then allow me to go in the path of Allah"
Abu Bakr said: "I had freed you for the sake of Allah "
So Sayyiduna Bilal left for Shaam and remained there protecting the Borders of Islamic rule. He would not give azaan because when he would come to say "Ash'hadu Anna muhammadar rasulullah" he would be overcome with grief and start crying, he would be short of breath, as though his throat is going to be strangled.
Many years passed, then sayyiduna Bilal saw Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam in a dream, who said: "Why this distance ya Bilal? Has the time not come for you to visit us?" Sayyiduna Bilal woke up with sadness, and he set off for madina munawwarah. He came to the grave of rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam, sat close by and began to weep.
People flocked to greet him. Hasan and hussaain also came rushing. He kissed them both.
They requested him to give azaan at suhoor time. He agreed and he went on to the rooftop of the masjid and called out "Allahu Akbar" Madinah echoed with his voice. When he said "Ash'hadu alla Ilaha illallah" the whole city started shaking and when he said "Ash'hadu Anna muhamadar rasulullah" people rushed out of their homes, including young girls who would stay behind purdah. There had not been a day in which more people were seen crying than that day.
When sayyduna Umar radhiallahu anhu visited shaam during his khilafah, people approached sayyiduna Bilal through sayyiduna Umar radiallahu, who asked him to give Azan at least once.
Sayyiduna Bilal ascended the place of Azan and called out the Azan. All the sahaba were crying. Sayyiduna Umar was the most affected and he was crying the most.
When his death drew near, his wife began to cry. He said "Do not cry, because tomorrow I will be meeting my beloved ones; Muhammad and his companions" may Allah be pleased with sayyiduna Bilal radiallahu anhu.
May Allah shower his mercy upon Rasulullah sallallahu alyhi wa sallam, may he be pleased with all the sahaba, and may he bestow upon us their love and may He resurrect us among them on the day of qiyamah. Ameen

For a version of this tip written specifically for later versions of Excel, click here: Returning the Smallest Non-Zero Value.
Mark is hoping to find the smallest non-zero value in a set of values. For example, if he has the values 0,0,3,0,6,8, he would want the value 3 (the smallest non-zero value) returned by a formula. Mark knows he can use the SMALL function with the second argument calculated by using a COUNTIF to count the number of zeroes in the range. However, he wants to use this inside of an array formula, and Excel can't handle COUNTIFs inside of array formulas.
Since Mark is only interested in array formulas (entered by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter), then there are a couple that could be used. The following array formula is worth looking at first:
Assuming the values to be examined are in A1:A5, this formula puts together an array of non-zero values from that range. If the value in one of the cells is 0, then the MAX function kicks in, returning the largest value from the range. (This essentially kicks the value at that cell—originally 0—out of consideration as the smallest value.) If the value in one of the cells is not 0, then the actual value is returned. The MIN function then returns the lowest value from the array.
You can make the formula even shorter by turning it around in this manner:
Note that in this version, the value in each cell of the range is checked to see if it isn't 0. If it isn't, then the value is returned. If it is 0, then nothing is returned. Again, the MIN function is used to return the lowest value from the array.

Do Yankees Still Want to be THE Yankees?
Was I the only one who laughed when the New York Yankees -- they of the pinstripes, the mystique, the legends, the monuments, the 27 World Series championships, the $1,300 ticket price behind home plate -- gave away 18,000 Charlie Brown bobblehead dolls last week?
Charlie Brown is a loser. And the Yankees, unworthy of the postseason for only the second time in 19 years, now are losers. If it was an attempt at comic relief, all I know is that this franchise has been compared to the longest-running plays on Broadway, as well as the greatest museums and iconic restaurants in New York, and that any acknowledgment of failure should be followed quickly by a mission statement.
But we've yet to hear one from Son of George, principal owner and managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner. The only stated goal is a budgetary item that Hal's father would have mocked and ridiculed: getting under Major League Baseball's $189-million payroll ceiling that will allow the Yankees to avoid large luxury tax payments, such as the record $29.1 million they'll pay this season. Before George Steinbrenner's death, the Yankee Way was to spend limitless amounts for any available star player or pitcher the franchise wanted, regardless of age or wear and tear. But the continuing high-efficiency, low-expenditure success of the Tampa Bay Rays and Oakland A's -- both reaching the final five of the American League playoffs with payrolls less than one-third of the Yankees' all-for-naught $236.1 million -- have Son of George thinking his father's way no longer makes business sense.
Roll over, Boss.
Of course, management has said nothing about reducing enormous ticket prices in the hulking, luxurious Yankee Stadium, where marquee attractions are needed to fill seats that have gone increasingly empty in the four seasons since the team last won a World Series. And when you do the tally, that's the only championship the Yankees have won since 2000, when they were completing a four-titles-in-five-years dynasty that now is ancient history. By their standards, they're potentially in a rut similar to that of the 18 years between 1996 and their 1977-78 back-to-back titles, and the 15 years before that dating to their 1961-62 back-to-backs. Are we being too demanding? No, we're just reflecting their self-expectations.
So, if the Yankees still want to be THE Yankees, they'll need a very effective master plan in what represents their most important and defining offseason in eons. Mariano Rivera is gone, off to immortality. Andy Pettitte is gone, short of the Hall of Fame only because of a steroids blip. Derek Jeter remains only because of pride and stubborness. Alex Rodriguez, a creaky and sad shadow of his former self, is at war with the front office and Major League Baseball over his 211-game suspension for using performance-enhancing drugs, an appeal that is being heard starting this week. C.C. Sabathia and Mark Teixeira are breaking down. Hiroki Kuroda and Curtis Granderson seem destined for elsewhere. Several of their younger pitchers flat out stink. And their best player, Robinson Cano, wants by far the richest contract in U.S. sports history -- $305 million -- as the first high-profile client of the fledgling agent, Jay-Z, who announced his arrival in the sports industry with this recent rap lyric: ``Scott Boras, you over baby/Robinson Cano, you coming with me." Seems he wrote it without knowing baseball's winter meetings are set for Dec. 9-12 in Florida, the same week Jay-Z has California tour dates in Los Angeles, Fresno and San Jose.
There is a fair chance the Yankees won't meet Cano's asking price, knowing $305 million is an absurd price for a quality hitter who doesn't have the accompanying charisma to sell tickets and turns 31 this month. Signing Cano without a second thought is something The Old Boss would have done. The New Boss? ``Nobody is a re-sign at any cost,'' Yankees president Randy Levine told Bloomberg News, inviting the free-spending Los Angeles Dodgers and other suitors to take a crack at the leading free-agent-to-be.
Cano doesn't sound anxious to leave. But with Jay-Z as his agent, he'll have to take the best financial deal. And he doesn't sound certain that management will pull out all the usual stops to win. ``This is a team that has always had a lot of superstars, future Hall of Famers, guys like Jeter and A-Rod," he told the media. ``They always find a way to get guys to get this team to win. They know what it takes and they always get the right pieces to make this team win ? I haven't sat down to ask what's going to happen here, what's not going to happen here, because I just want to wait for the time to come and think about it.''
If the Yankees lose Cano, their starpower dims to its lowest wattage in memory. Even if Jeter returns at his $9.5-million player option, he'll be 40 next June and coming off a broken-down season when he looked close to retirement. The players who remain with 2014 guaranteed contracts are Teixeira, Sabathia, Alfonso Soriano, Ichiro Suzuki and Vernon Wells. If they were forming an old-timers' softball team, the Yankees would be OK next season. Otherwise, things look bleak at the moment.
Here is where Brian Cashman, the world-weary general manager, has to work with his bosses and try to recreate a contending product. Notice how the rival Boston Red Sox have returned to World Series contention by dividing their free-agent pie into several smart acquisitions -- including Shane Victorino, Mike Napoli, Jonny Gomes, Stephen Drew and the biggest steal, lockdown closer Koji Uehara -- and then adding Jake Peavy in a trade-deadline deal. Thinking this way might cause the Yankees to break out in hives, but they'll have no choice if the front-office mandate is to emphasize cost-efficiency over outbidding the competition. There are free agents out there -- Jacoby Ellsbury, Shin-Soo Choo, Brian McCann, Matt Garza and Tim Lincecum among them -- but few are monumental difference-makers. With the sport overflowing with money these days, more teams are signing their best players to long-term deals. And the other tried-and-true route -- player development -- is not an organizational strength these days. Cano's people have the leverage here.
If he leaves, what name sells the product moving forward?
The club can do itself a big public-relations and feel-goof favor by at least re-signing the manager. Joe Girardi, too, can leave if he likes. And there happens to be an opening with a team near to his heart and Illinois hometown. The Chicago Cubs, who fired manager Dale Sveum, would love to have Girardi and appease disgruntled fans tired of Theo Epstein's youth movement after 105 years without a World Series title. The Washington Nationals also would pursue Girardi, with the promise of young stars such as Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg.
But Girardi has been dropping hints that he doesn't want to leave. Most important to him and his wife and his children -- ages 14, 11 and 7 -- who are happy growing up in Westchester County. ``Our home has been here,'' Girardi told the media. ``My kids are engrossed in schools here. We haven?t (lived in) Chicago since 2006. The only person who?s really there, my brother?s still there, a couple brothers are there, (but) my father?s gone, my mother?s gone. There?s not as much there as there used to be.''
It's possible Girardi either will stay with the Yankees or not manage any team, perhaps taking a breather as a team broadcaster. He'll make the decision with his family. ``I'm not gone as much (as a broadcaster), that's for sure,'' he said. ``It comes down to family. They are first. Whatever is best for the group of us, not one individual, not me or just my wife or one of our children. Whatever is best for us as a group is what we?ll decide to do. I have a wonderful wife who?s been supportive since day one, since we met in college and was my biggest fan then and still is my biggest fan. I have three kids whose lives are precious and extremely important to me and I gotta make sure that everyone?s taken care of.
``You?re away a lot and miss a lot of things. But there are a lot of good things that go into it, too. They understand that and I understand that, but there?s things that you miss that you kinda wish you could be there at times. I know my daughter is excited for me to see her cheer, and I?m excited to see that. She?s talked about that, and that?s important. My youngest has talked about me coming to watch a soccer game. They all want me around. I?ll start helping coach my son?s football team, and I?m involved. It?s obviously hard, but they also, during this six-year time period, have liked what I do. So they understand that there?s a tradeoff. It depends what everyone wants. If I wasn't to manage next year, I don't think that would be the last time I would manage.''
Cashman says he wants his manager back, but Girardi wants to make sure the ballclub will remain championship-competitive. The last thing anyone wants to do is manage the New York Yankees if they're losing. That would be daily torture. ``I think the primary goal us to win,'' Girardi said. ``I think the competitiveness is here on a daily basis and a yearly basis. There's expectations no matter what, which I've always had, too. There's definitely a match there.
``There?s no challenge that really scares me, that I would ever shy away from.''
The Yankees as anything but the Yankees, as we've known them, would not be good for baseball or sport. Signing Cano for $305 million is not sensible, but given the demands of their tradition and pedigree, they may have no choice. For now, they need to re-up Girardi and spend, spend, spend on players. Somewhere, a man with a loud, gruff voice is barking at his sons that the New York Yankees are not the Tampa Bay Rays.

'Revertigo' author Skloot appearing at Boswell
Floyd Skloot's new memoir, "Revertigo" (Terrace Books), covers many topics: a community theater production of "The King and I," New York accents, his mother's remarriage, books he tries but just can't read.
But its big subject is the unexpected, devastating attack of vertigo that struck him on March 27, 2009, and lasted 138 days. In putting together this book, Skloot writes, he realized "my work was exploring balance and its loss, how the forces of uncertainty and sudden change and displacement had shaped me since childhood, as it shapes many of us..." »Read Full Article

Then cool and contemporary jazz got more intellectual, as the dancers sat down or moved elsewhere and jazz began its long, continuing decline. »Read Full Article

Sure, it was a relatively quiet role by Liza Minnelli standards, with no singing or dancing and nary a sequin in sight. But Minnelli (left, with costar Dudley Moore), as the lovably brash Linda, was the heart and soul of the film. If you haven't seen it, you're in for a treat.

The Witches is a children's fantasy novel by the British writer Roald Dahl. It was published in 1983 by Jonathan Cape in London, with illustrations by Quentin Blake (like many of Dahl's works). The story is set partly in Norway and partly in the United Kingdom, featuring the experiences of a young boy and his Norwegian grandmother in a world where child-hating evil witches secretly exist.
The book was adapted into an unabridged audio reading by Lynn Redgrave (ISBN 0-060-53616-0), a stage play and a two-part radio dramatisation for the BBC, a 1990 movie directed by Nicolas Roeg and an opera by Marcus Paus and Ole Paus.
A seven-year-old boy (who is never named) goes to live with his Norwegian grandmother after his parents are killed in a car crash. The grandmother was a wonderful story teller. He loved all the stories, but he was enthralled by the ones about witches, which she says are horrific creatures who seek to kill human children. She tells the boy that she knows of five children who were cursed by witches and tells him how to recognise them. She also tells about witchophiles, who hunt witches, which she is retired from, telling of an encounter with a witch which cost the grandmother her left thumb, but otherwise said her witchophile career was a failure as she never killed another witch. While witches look and act like human women, they are actually "demons in human shape." They have bald heads that they hide with wigs, clawed hands that they usually hide with gloves, blue spit, large nostrils and toeless feet that make it extremely painful to wear pretty shoes.

[Updated on 2 December 2014]
Dear Faithful Orangeberry Clients:
In August we notified the loyal Orangeberry community that due to health challenges faced by Orangeberry's founder, Orangeberry would no longer be accepting new submissions for book tours. While this was a difficult decision for us to make, it was a necessary one if we were to continue to honor our commitment to existing authors and book tours that already had been purchased. As a result of this change we are pleased that we have been able to meet and continue to fulfill the needs and expectations of the community and deliver the product and results our clients have purchased. In short, we are faithfully honoring and meeting our obligations to everyone. On occasion our efforts have taken us longer than we have wanted to, but we are fully satisfying our obligations and we thank those of you who have shown patience for continuing to trust us.
We know that you all are active in the blogosphere and on social media. Recently, you may have received emails or reviewed posts on Twitter and elsewhere posted by @kybunnies aka Suzie Welker disparaging Orangeberry and making unsubstantiated and inflammatory allegations about our website. The person behind these posts formerly worked for our site. She claims that she was not paid for work she performed for Orangeberry and/or reimbursed for expenses. Our records show that she has been paid in full; nevertheless, she continues to claim that she is owed money. Though we believe she has been fully and properly compensated, we have had our attorney reach out to try to resolve the matter, offering her an opportunity to provide proof of what she is owed. Regrettably, we have been unable to obtain her cooperation and rather than work with us to bring the matter to a close, she has taken to contacting our clients directly and posting the comments many of you have received or otherwise read. Orangeberry is exploring all its legal options, but in the meantime, please consider what we have communicated in the preceding paragraph. It is the truth. Thank you for your continued loyalty and support of Orangeberry Book Tours.

Free car parking is available on site and accompanied children have free admission to the event.
Travelling to WSBJ is very easy. Approaching Irvine by car, simply follow the signs for Irvine Harbourside and then to the Scottish Maritime Museum. Public transport is excellent with frequent bus and train services to within 200m of the event. Travel by air to nearby Glasgow Prestwick (7miles) or Glasgow International (20 miles).
Coming by boat is also possible, ferries from Northern Ireland dock at nearby Troon and if arriving by private boat, berths are available within Irvine Harbour at the Visitor's Wharf. Refreshments and food are available on site throughout the event and excellent pubs and restaurants are available in the neighbourhood.
Nearby Rivergate Shopping Centre offers 50 stores and eateries under one roof whilst the Magnum Leisure Centre offers a great day out for all the family.

Up until a few weeks ago, we used the ladder method to find prime factorizations, GCF, and LCM. But THEN, we started discussing factoring, mostly with numerical expressions. It's 6th grade, it's the first time my students were exposed to factoring, and it was the first time I had taught factoring. I know how to factor, but I wasn't really sure how to best explain it so it would be easy for the students to understand. When I learned to factor something like 18x + 24, we "thought of" the GCF and divided both numbers by it. Not having taught factoring before, I thought that something more in-depth was needed.
I created a notes page for my students, with steps and several examples, some of which include variables. Feel free to download it and use it! I also created a Fold It Up for the ladder method, which includes the steps for factoring and for finding GCF and LCM (find this in my TPT store).
I am so excited to have discovered this use for the ladder method, and I find it so interesting to once again realize that even when our lesson plans don't go exactly as expected, or when they "fail" to teach things as clearly as we want, they can still allow us to "stumble" upon fantastic new ways to help our students.
I am a 6th grade math teacher and have been teaching for 23 years. 🙂 Running, reading, and learning are my favorite things (besides being a mom to three fabulous children). I write about math and education on my blog, Middle School Math Moments.

Prosecutors have decided to no longer pursue sex charges filed against local musician John Brannen.
Brannen, 62, of Mount Pleasant was charged with two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and one count of committing a lewd act on a child under 14 in March 2013.
Last month, prosecutors decided to voluntarily discontinue the charges against him.
Ninth Circuit Assistant Solicitor Debbie Herring-Lash said the decision was made after consultation between her office, the S.C. Department of Social Services and the mother of the female child, who prosecutors alleged was abused by Brannen.
Herring-Lash said the decision not to take the case to trial was in the best interest of the child.
"There was concern from the therapist that she would be traumatized," Herring-Lash said.
Andy Savage, Brannen's attorney, said he was pleased with the decision.
"These cases are always troubling," he said. "In this case, it arose out of a domestic issue. The child ahd been examined by the Lowcountry Children's Center and they didn't find any evidence of any improprieties. The evidence of any wrongdoing was just not credible."
Brannen had no prior criminal history.
Investigators had arrested and charged Brannen based on a Lowcountry Children's Center interview with the child, according to prosecutors.

Recap: 'Battlestar Galactica' - 'Islanded in a Stream of Stars'
After tonight's episode there are only two more installments of the great "Battlestar Galactica" left. Anyone feeling nostalgic? Any chance we'll get the thrill of one more Entertainment Weekly cover (or are we doomed to "Twilight" every other week)? Are we ready to debate who amongst the cast has the best shot at breaking out in the years to come? No, probably not yet. However, because tonight's episode featured more dramatic personal moments amongst the characters (Emmy watcher alert!), this writer's mind is starting to wander.
Unlike the past two episodes, there were not that many startling revelations in "Islanded in a Stream of Stars." Sure, stuff happened like seeing the Cylon Colony for the first time (basically V'ger without all the fog), but beyond Adama's pivotal decision at the end of the show (which had been hinted at since at least last season), it was time for some more tender moments between some of our favorite characters.
[Spoilers after the jump]
Roslin and Adama
"I know you love this ship. Probably more than you love me, Bill if you don't get us off the ship you may loose both of us at the same time. Wont you give us a chance?" - Roslin
Lowdown: Suffering terribly from cancer and jumping back and forth between consciousness and her Opera House dream (it's baaaaack), Roslin tries to convince Adama that keeping Galactica afloat isn't the only way the Colonies will survive.
Result: Adama realizes he may not have a choice anymore.
Baltar and Caprica Six
"You haven't changed Gaius, I have." - Caprica Six
Lowdown: Baltar offers help to the first Six who seduced him way back when on Caprica. His true motivations aren't hard to figure out.
Result: She pretty much lets him know a reconciliation will never occur. Ouch.
Helo and Athena
"She's gone. I lost a son. And you've lost a daughter, but I can't condone a suicide mission. Let it go." - Adama
Lowdown: The couple's relationship isn't just shattered because Helo mistakenly made love to Boomer while Athena watched (they really are duplicates!), their daughter has been kidnapped and worse, Athena is experiencing the same Opera dreams that Roslin and Caprica Six are. Helo emotionally confronts the Admiral about going on a mission to find his daughter and pretty much crosses the line with his superior officer.
Result: Helo asks for one Raptor to go search for Hera (it's unclear whether he got it.)
Hera and Boomer
"Don't worry, we'll take good care of her." - Cavil
Lowdown: Completing her mission, Boomer delivers Hera, the wonder child, to Cavil. However, in between the many jumps to get to the secret location of the Cylon Colony, Boomer projects Hera into her secret home and the two bond (on a related note, Chief was mysteriously missing from the entire episode).
Result: Boomer appears to be having second thoughts about kidnapping Helo and Athena's child.
Starbuck and Anders
"I know you can hear me Sam. The old me is gone, just like the old you. Just took me awhile to accept it. Which brings me to the large question, why am I here?" - Starbuck
Lowdown: After Baltar reveals Starbuck's secret about her dead body on earth to the entire ship, she has a tender moment with Apollo who tells her loves her no matter what she is. She puts her own photo on the Galactica's remembrance wall.
Result: At peace with with whatever she is, Starbuck decides to plug Sam back into the mainframe and see if the "song" that has spurred so many revelations throughout the series can bring him out of his coma.
Adama and Commander Tigh
"The ship never let us down, so we're gonna send her off in style." - Adama
Lowdown: It's taken a long time, but Adama realizes there is no reason to waste their time trying to keep Galactica intact -- her time has passed. Colonel Tigh, on the other hand, needs some convincing.
Result: The two longtime friends take a moment to toast the "grand old lady." Yep, she'll be missed (at least until Universal Pictures decides to reboot the franchise with a whole new cast and story line, not that rumors are floating around or anything).
Here's a sneak peek at the second to last episode of "Battlestar Galactica," "Daybreak, Pt. 1," which hints that not everyone in the cast is going to survive before it's all over.
What did you think of this episode? And who do you think is going to get killed off before its all over? Share your thoughts below.

The Panhandle Region of CAST (Couples Association of Sport Tournaments) held its third tournament at Ute Lake recently. It was windy, and the water level was high because of recent storms, but the water color was good.
New Mexico had recently lowered the smallmouth length limit to 12 inches, allowing most teams to bring bass to the scales. Randy and Nancy Read of Canyon won the tournament with three fish weighing 8.71 pounds. Second place went to Dan and Donna Brooks of Friona with three fish weighing 7.89 pounds. Sam and Karen Taylor of Canadian placed third with a limit of fish weighing 7.31 pounds.
Brooks claimed the men's big bass award with a 5.25-pound largemouth. Read was second with a 5.05-pounder. Gladys Stroud of Borger brought in the women's big bass with a 2.22-pound black.
Midway through the tournament trail, Richard and Nedra Pruett of Canyon are currently in the lead for the team of the year. The next CAST tournament will be at Foss Lake in Oklahoma next Sunday.

Cost is $85 per person, which includes course work, meals and lodging.
The seminar includes sessions on aquatic ecology, fishing techniques and tackle, fishing ethics and conservation.
The program is part of a national 4-H initiative to teach adults how to get kids interested in fishing. Fishing experience or expertise is not a requirement.
More information is available at each county extension office. Or call Angela Burkham at 359-5401. The Texas Ag Extension Service will host a Quail Appreciation Day on Tuesday at the Triangle Ranch, east of Paducah on U.S. 70.

Registration is $20 at the door, which covers lunch, refreshments and materials. For more information, call Arlan Gentry, 492-3151, or Rollins, (915) 653-4576. Jim Reid and George Shepard won the Amarillo Bass Club "Bobby Nolen Open" recently on Lake Conchas. Their winning string was four fish totaling 10.01 pounds. That included Reid's 5.02-pounder, which was big bass of the tournament.
The top six in the club standings are: George Shepard, 14.54 pounds; Ron Pigg 13.88; Jim Reid, 13.07; Walter Burnett, 11.56; Larry Robinson 9.48; Max Spiker, 8.97.

The US food and agriculture sector is innovative, competitive and export-oriented. Changes in national and global demand offer further opportunities for US agri-food products, although climate change and other resource constraints could create additional challenges, in particular in some regions. Maintaining high productivity growth, while improving the sustainable use of resources will require further innovation. In a policy environment generally favourable to investment and innovation, the strong US agricultural innovation system is expected to continue to create innovations that will be widely adopted, to the extent that these can be widely accepted.
Productivity growth in the Turkish agricultural sector is supported today by better technologies, crop varieties and animal breeds. Yet improvements have slowed since the late 2000s, and the productivity gap between agriculture and the rest of the economy remains large. To overcome these challenges, Turkey will need to reduce the substantial technological and human resource disparities between small-holder and commercial segments in agriculture, and ensure more equal regional development. Considerable structural adjustment is also required, both within agriculture and in the overall economy, supported by broad policy actions in the areas of labour, education, social security systems, and land reform. Important efforts have been made to boost national innovation systems, but there remains considerable catch up in terms of the quality and impact of R&D.
La croissance économique a fait preuve d'une vigueur remarquable compte tenu des circonstances très défavorables des deux dernières années, au nombre desquelles on peut citer quatre élections nationales, des guerres à la frontière sud du pays, des tensions intérieures graves dans les régions orientales, des restrictions commerciales avec la Russie et l'afflux de millions de réfugiés.
The Secretary-General presented the 2016 OECD Economic Survey of Turkey and visited the refugee camp of Nizip. Mr. Gurría also held meetings with Turkish high officials and representatives of local businesses.
L'économie de la Turquie fait preuve d'une capacité de résistance remarquable face à un contexte économique mondial difficile. Toutefois, d'autres mesures pourraient être prises pour gagner en productivité et accélérer la transition vers une trajectoire de croissance plus équilibrée, plus durable et plus solide, qui permettra de relever les niveaux de vie dans l'ensemble de la population.

While the employment rate in Turkey has been catching up with the OECD average, a substantial gap remains: in the last quarter of 2015 the employment rate in Turkey reached 47.8% – more than 12 percentage points below the OECD average (60.2%). The employment rate is projected to rise further through 2017, driven by rising employment among women.
Turkey, an OECD member country, has endured several attacks in recent times. Each of these deeds is an offense to our collective freedoms, values and way of living. We categorically condemn these terrible acts.

A top Internal Revenue Service official says he doesn't do his own taxes.
IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman admits the tax code is too complex, so he gets someone else to prepare his returns.
And he's not alone. More than 80 percent of people get help doing their taxes, either through a tax preparer or tax software.
When asked by C-Span how he could make filing easier, Shulman responded, "I don't write the tax codes. Congress writes the tax laws."

I liked this. Of all the Asian cuisines, I am most unfamiliar with Vietnamese food. This turned out to be a nice change of pace from the usual Thai, Japanese, and Korean food I make. The flavor wasn't as strong as I expected, so I added more fish sauce. I also would've liked to have used more lemongrass, or tossed in some kafir lime leaves near the end. Overall, quite good- thanks for sharing! [Made and reviewed for BEST OF 2012]
This was delicious, and I will make it again! I didn't know what to expect because I've never used curry powder before ~ I sorta winged the lemongrass amount, because my lemongrass came in a tube! I left out the fish, and made it with shrimp only, and added some water chestnuts. I loved the finish with the lime juice and basil ~ Tagged for Auzzie Recipe Swap #71.- December 2012.

Sound off
Rubio: Government Is Not the Answer
Florida's junior Senator Marco Rubio was tasked with giving the Republican response to the State of the Union address by President Barack Obama. Rubio opened his remarks refudiating the idea that government was the answer to the nation's woes. The Senator also pointed out he was fighting for his neighbors who were working class not millionaires and was not the defender of the rich.
Rubio went on to provide a decent speech making none of the lackluster delivery gaffes of Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal a few years ago. However, Rubio was no firebrand though presenting his response reasonably well.
Like the President, Rubio made an appeal to the middle class. Rubio likewise noted that every American should have the opportunity to work hard and reach for goals and aspirations.
The Senator touched on the issues of immigration and education which the President also spoke. Rubio seemed to hold out that both sides of the aisle could and should work together on these issues.
Contrary to the President's view, Rubio said that rather than helping the middle class that often government does more harm than good.
Rubio offered no specifics and laid out no grand plan, but he did make himself, a Tea Party favorite, appear to be a sensible alternative to independents and moderate Democrats. He came across as sane and intelligent and not the wild-eyed right winger that many perceive are all Republicans.
From the Cornfield, while there was nothing in Rubio's remarks to make me stand up and cheer, he did show why so many think that he is what the Republican Party can and should be more like.

This isn't the coated tablet.
By Jesse
from Penns Woods
describe yourself Regular User
Stop; don't buy this type. Schiff Glucosamine is great, but buy the coated tablet for the same price. I take one coated tablet along with a calcium tablet 'cause the coating helps 'em both go down.There is no better value or product than 'coated' Schiff Glucosamine. I've used it six years and I can now go up and down a 28 ft. ladder three or four times and don't notice it the next day. Before I'd be cripple just going up and down the ladder twice; it would take me two days to recover.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

A hard pill to swallow
By libbety
from California
aThis product is very potent and a great value, however it is extremely hard to swallow due to size, roughness of pill and the tangyness of taste. I will get the gel coating next time. The regular brand is almost imnpossible to swallow.
For best results, take two (2) tablets all at once with a meal, or one (1) tablet twice daily with meals. Store in a cool, dry place with lid tightly closed.

Children who Did Not Eat their Fruits and Vegetables Went Blind
Two boys have gone blind from an extreme vitamin deficiency, after eating almost no fruit and vegetables, another child is suffering from severe orthopedic difficulties for the same reason, and a fourth, 6-year-old child has been admitted at the Dana-Dwek Children's Hospital in Tel Aviv with a limp and bone pain due to vitamin deficiencies, Yediot Aharonoth reported on Monday.
The mother of one of the boys who were blinded talked about what he used to eat every day: "My son was a very picky eater, for a long time he ate mostly pitta with chocolate spread and cereal without milk. He did not touch meat, fruit and vegetables."
The mother said she decided not to intervene in her boy's diet to avoid fighting with him: "I was not aware of the dangers of eating like this."
After a while, the boy began to experience headaches, caused by cranial pressure due to a vitamin A deficiency.
Today, she says, her boy's diet has improved, he gets a vitamin supplement and his vision is improving. But the doctors say his vision will never return to what it used to be. "Our child went blind because of our ignorance," the mother said sadly.
At the Dana-Dwek Children's Hospital, doctors treated a 6-year-old boy who experienced severe bone pains and was limping. They discovered that suffered from a deficiency of vitamin C. After inspection, they found that his diet and was particularly poor, consisting only of processed schnitzel.
Dr. Aviva Fatal-Valvsky, head of Pediatric Neurology at Dana-Dwek, related: "When we checked with the parents of two children what they eat, it turned out that one of them eats only bread with chocolate spread."
Fatal-Valvsky added: "Kids are very picky eaters, and eating an unvaried diet based on a very limited number of foods, may develop into many vitamin deficiencies."Jewish Press Staff

Listen to free advance stream of new Civil Wars album
The Civil Wars' much-anticipated self-titled sophomore album will be released Tuesday, but fans can take a free advance listen via iTunes at this link now. One of the most buzz-generating new groups of the past few years, Joy Williams and John Paul White dazzled critics and audiences alike with the stark, haunting and beautiful vocal harmonies from their 2011 debut, "Barton Hollow."
