SAGINAW, MI — There are 19 candidates running for four open seats on the Saginaw City Council in November, including two incumbents.
The following is one of 19 profiles compiled from candidates' responses to a questionnaire mailed in early September. Visit this page to view all the candidate profiles.
Name: Brenda F. Moore
Age: 58
Address: 225 N. Ninth, Saginaw
Occupation: Bail bond agent, union organizer, chemical dependency counselor, security guard, behavior specialist, food service, outreach worker
Political experience: Lobby day in Lansing, 517M Region 1 board
Education: 1973 Saginaw High School graduate, 1987 Delta College graduate (associate's degree in liberal arts)
Community service and civic involvement: Community active AFRAM Caucus, 21st Century in Saginaw City Schools, Health Fair in the city, collecting food for food drive
Family: One son, James A. Moore
How important is the city government's role in economic development and what would you change about how the city approaches development efforts?
City government is instrumental for the citizens in all areas of economic development. I would talk about creating a Grant Writing position which would entail seeking out grants locally and state wide that could assist with the city budget. Our City Manager needs to be business minded not number driven. The citizens are human, not objects. Also talk about making city services more accessible for the citizens. To achieve this, I would talk about changing hours of service to be flexible to meet the needs of the citizens. (i.e. changing hours of service and day of week).
What is your vision for the future of public safety service in Saginaw, and what practical steps would you advocate in making that vision a reality?
There is no real immediate answer to the Public Safety issue because each neighborhood has different needs. However, if we reinstate the Neighborhood Outreach Program again with area police, neighborhoods could begin to include them in the neighborhood meetings and begin to let the children know that policemen are necessary to make the neighborhood safe for them.
How would you address Saginaw's chronic budget deficits? Please identify specific areas where expenses can be reduced and/or ideas for revenue enhancement.
All over the country, cities are in budget deficit. There is no quick fix for this problem. I would begin talking with leaders and businesses to see what we could do to bring our city back.
Would you support an amendment to Saginaw's city charter to remove one or both of the caps on property tax collection? Why or why not?
Yes, we need to revisit the caps that were placed on the City of Saginaw in 1979 back when the city population was larger and employment was high. However, in 2013, the city has lost citizens, and employment and cost of living has changed. There are fewer homeowners and more renters so less property taxes are being collected.
Why should city residents choose you over the other 18 candidates on the ballot?
I will work diligently to assist Saginaw by committing to: Breaking barriers, building a future, ceate a customer-friendly effective system to meet the needs of the residents and visitors to the City of Saginaw, serve under the core competencies of the city to the greatest extent
What is the most important issue facing Saginaw and what solution or solutions to address that issue would you pursue, if elected?The most important issue is the barrier between the different groups and agencies in Saginaw. These barriers need to be broken down. If I am elected, I would like to bring all groups and agencies together to have talks about what we can do collectively as a city to come together and speak with one voice. Also keep the citizens informed on what is going on.

Chapter 8 : Chapter 8: Moving Out
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 32
Background: Font color:
She opened the door to Draco running around shirtless rummaging under the sofas and tables.
Noel was running around with one shoe on.
Found it, Daddy! she screamed, pulling a shoe out from under a sofa cushion.
He collapsed onto the sofa right there, What is it doing in the sofa? It should be in your closet.
Hey, yall, Hermione said enthusiastically.
Hi, Ermione, Noel beamed with a giant grin and a tight hug. This is how she greeted Hermione every morning and wished her good night, every night.
Howdy, Draco said lamely. Breakfast on the table if you want some.
Noel, your bus is going to come, youre going to be late, he said, pulling a stretchy Under Armor shirt on. His hair was open, not in his usual pony tail (more like little tiny thing at the back of the head).
Im going, she said, stuffing a donut in her mouth. And the little girl picked up her Dora the Explorer back pack, took her dads hand.
Ill be back in a second, he said to Hermione.
And he really was, back in a second, multiplied by like 500.
Hermione sat, her legs crossed, in her yoga pants and a giant Quidditch sweatshirt, when he came back.
He sat down across from her. I never got a chance to say, with Noah and all, how much fun I had yesterday.
Yeah, it was real fun, she said. Uh Im moving out.
His eyebrows went up way high, Really?
Mmhmm. Today, actually, I signed all the paperwork, she said. She didnt want to leave, honestly. This place was so homey with its squishy leather sofa and big blue coffee mugs. When she was living with Viktor, she drank from china tea cups all day long. And it was a terrible insulator.
And we were just beginning to have fun as a married couple, Draco said.
Hmm, yeah. Hermione was scared she would say something stupid.
Do you need any help moving in? I mean, I could help if you want, he suggested casually. He was kind of sad inside; he did not want her to leave him. She was beginning to grow on him.
Its really okay, I could easily magic it into the new place, she said, and his face suddenly went sullen.
I cannot believe I forgot you still did that crap. My bad, he said, getting up and gathering his hair back into a little pony tail at the back of his head. He left to his room and she stood a bit shocked. She could not believe that he had truly given up magic after the horrible incident during the war. Sure, she had been affected dearly too, but she would never give up her powers.
And he was such a talented man. She felt regret, though, when she had denied his help and aroused the M word that she knew tortured him.
She knocked on his door. What?
I would love some help, she said persuasively.
I thought you could use your pressure rod for that, he said, obviously referring to her wand.
Its not a rod, just because you gave up magic, does not mean that others cannot use it. I happened to love who I am, and I do not need your approval for it.
He opened the door, already dressed in his work clothes, a brown leather blazer, a white shirt and black jeans.
He looked at her with pained eyes, Hermione, Im sorry if I offended you, but you know what happened. And nothing is going to change my decision. Now if you need help, Im happy to lend a pair of hands.
He opened the door to her room, Sure isnt a lot in here.
Hermione stood on top of the toilet seat looking through the window from her bathroom.
If Hermione had a hand gun with her, she would surely shoot that flirtatious bitch that was sitting next to him on the pool ledge.
The brunette woman sat with her long hair hanging off of her shoulder and her black Speedo curving over every curve on her curvy body.
Dracos hair was open and plastered all over his head, and he threw back his head and laughed at something she said to him.
Stupid bastard, flirting with some next chick, Hermione muttered. The woman kissed him on the cheek, smiled and left the pool. He sat, smiling like a doofus.
There was a knock at her door. Hermione opened it to see Draco smiling like a fool at her.
Can I come in? he asked her, and invited himself in.
She did not have any furniture to sit on for the time being, so he hopped onto the counter.
I wanted to ask if you wanted to come with me to a dinner party tonight, he asked her out.
She was totally dumbfounded. What had happened to the brunette babe?
Uh. Yeah. Sure I mean that would be wonderful.
a/n: I know this was not a greeeeatttt chapter but I promise the next one will be spectacular. This is just a fill in, and the main plot will start from the beginning of the next chapter.
PLEASE REVIEW good or bad I love them.

On a rainy day in Eugene, Ore., Goodwin didn't put up his career-best mark, but it was good enough to push him through to Sunday's 2012 Olympic Track & Field Trial finals. Goodwin jumped 7.68 meters on his final leap, a jump of 25-02.5 that was good enough for 10th place.
Goodwin actually had four jumps over 8.10 meters at the NCAA Championships in Des Moines, Iowa, earlier this month, including the championship-winning leap of 8.23 meters (27-0). So it's certainly safe to say that he has more in the tank.
"I came out here today and the weather actually felt good to me," Goodwin said. "It kind of messed up marks here and there, but at the end of the day everybody has to go through it. You have to go out there and just compete from round to round. I accomplished another goal today. I made it to the Olympic Trials finals. The next goal is to win it."

Jim Della Croce, who owns the agency, told The Associated Press that Wurzelbacher has been "inundated" with requests for interviews and appearances. "Never in 25 years have I seen this level of interest in a celebrity," Della Croce said.
Wurzelbacher drew national attention after an interchange with Barack Obama on the campaign trail during which, Obama told Wurzelbacher that he wanted to "spread the wealth around." During the third debate, John McCain used Wurzelbacher to represent the common man and made numerous references to "Joe the Plumber." Wurzelbacher has been campaigning for McCain and on Wednesday, appeared with Republican vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin.
So what's next for Joe the Plumber? One of his managers at the firm is country singer Aaron Tippin, giving rise to rumors that Wurzelbacher is planning a career in country music. Apparently, that's not true, but he is planning a book.
Will all this interest last after the election? What will happen to Joe the Plumber if McCain loses?

Crossover Dreams' is a subtle work which highlights Ruscha's interest in the film industry. The crisp white lettering is brought to the fore by the spray-painted circular patches distributed across the surface. Together they create a haze of grey, punctuated only by the black centres of the spots, reminiscent of black and white movies. The text can also be seen as a reference to the film industry and the desire by actors and actresses to make the crossover from T.V. to the big screen, where the fame and money are much more significant. The typeface that Ruscha has used here is of his own design. Created in 1981, 'Boy Scout Utility Modern', is a simple font which is radically different from the style he used in works such as 'Honk'.

Bienvenido this is "I'll have another STOUT"
These are my adventures in bar hopping in and out of Philadelphia. If I eat something and it inspires me, you can read about it. If there's a pub or pint I checked out, you'll know if you should follow. And as I spend my days and nights entering and exiting, you'll get the scoop on what went on in between. It also references a Tom Waits song- and who doesn't love Tom Waits?

Who is csaba? Who is batgirl? I have heard of catwoman and not a batgirl.
MIDYMAT, I'll see you get a full refund.
Thanks Csaba. I dug a little deeper and verified some of what you wrote.
Raymond Roussell and the Republic of Dreams by Mark Ford 2001" 'In 1932 I took up chess. . .At the end of three and a half months I discovered the following means of achieving the extremely difficult checkmate with bishop and knight.' During this period Roussel took lessons from a teacher called Romih at the Café de la Régence at the Palais-Royal; there he met chess master Tartakower, who wrote up Roussel's formula in the November issue of L'Echiquier, and in the following month's issue published his further reflections on Roussel's discovery. Roussel was obviously keen that Tartakower establish connections between his technique as a chess-player and his technique as a writer, for a footnote makes lines between the concision of his formula and that of his literary style. In yet another article, which appeared in the January/February 1933 number of Les Cahiers de l'Echiquier francais (edited at the time by Francois le Lionnais, who would co-found the Oulipo movement in 1960), Tartakower places Roussel in the context of a tradition of writers interested in chess, including Alexandre Dumas, Diderot, Rousseau, Voltaire and Poe. The chess world should celebrate the fine acquisition of the great Surrealist writer, Raymond Roussel, who, with his discovery of a simple formula for achieving the extremely complicated checkmate with bishop and knight, reveals himself also a great thinker in chess.It was while pondering a move at the Café de la Régence that he was observed, bit not approached, by his admirer Marcel Duchamp, who would likewise abandon art for chess, or at least claim to do so. 'He seemed very "strait-laced," a high colar, dressed in black, very very Avenue du Bois,' Duchamp later recalled in an interview."
But, from All About Coffee by William Harrison Ukers 1922"Chess is today still in favor at the Régence, although the players are not, as were the earlier patrons, obliged to pay by the hour for their tables with extra charges for candles placed by the chess-boards. The present Café de la Régence is in the rue St.-Honorté, but retains in large measure its aspect of olden days."
So, the hosting of chess might have ended in 1916, but chess apparently was still played.
What is this? It isn't a article or really anything but a reprint of something from 1954.
If you want to honor Morphy (A great chess player) write a proper article not cut and paste.
Hi all. Nice to meet you.
Who is Sarah?
There's a mystery novel called "Even Dead Men Play Chess" with a main character who is a chess teacher and his dog's name is Morphy.
I put the cropped Matthew Brady photo on findagrave several years ago. The Morphys lived in Charleston, SC for a while. Then, after Don Diego Morphy became the consulate for the port of New Orleans in 1809, he moved his family there. His son, Alonzo (Paul's father) was about 11 at the time.
Csaba, was the Café de la Régence still a place for chess play in Rossolimo's time? I thought the chess rooms there were shut down in 1916.
They used to have a Paul Morphy Chess Club in New Orleans on Baronne Street. I went there in 1955 to play a game of chess and it had turned into a gentleman's dining club. Nobody played chess there any more. Also my wife is a Walsdorf. Nice picture of Morphy on findagrave.com.
The Everything Chess Basics Book by the USCF prominently features Morphy's Opera House Game.
That is an honor too.
I guess that's the only honor he's going to get from the USCF; a wreath 57 years ago. What a shame.

Load factors for freight transport
Assessment made on 01 Sep 2005
Generic metadata
ClassificationTransport (Primary theme)
DPSIR: Driving force
Policy issue: Load vehicles more efficiently
Key messages
Load factors have generally declined for road freight transport in the countries where data is available and inland shipping, while it has increased for air freight transport. The fact that load factors are generally under 50 % (by weight), and that some freight transport companies achieve much higher load factors than others in the same sector suggests that load factors can be improved.
Fancybox relations
Key assessment
Load factors are generally far below the theoretical maximum. While it is relatively easy to achieve full load on an outward trip, it is a complex puzzle to find return loads. Therefore, empty return trips are frequent. Transport of certain goods requires specialized vehicles that makes it impossible to find return loads - a gasoline tanker can neither bring milk nor pallets as a return load.
Load factors for road and inland freight transport have declined in most of the member states surveyed, indicating that vehicles are being less efficiently used. For road transport, the slow decline in load factors hides more marked developments in opposite directions: on the one hand a decline of empty haulage (see table 1) as result of better fleet management, and on the other hand a decline in load factors for laden trips. Companies are often more concerned with efficient time-management than efficient transport, resulting in an increasing number (more vehicle-kilometres) and a decreasing size of shipments (TNO, 1999), thereby contributing to lower efficiencies. "Just-in-time" deliveries may stimulate this development. On the other hand, increased use of IT has contributed to better fleet management and may have compensated. An alternative explanation for the decline in load factors could be that loads are being increasingly constrained by volume or deck space (see box 2), or a shift in the goods market away from bulk or bundled cargo and towards palleted goods (see box 3).

And then I was asked if I would support a statewide ballot measure to require recyclers to recycle plastic bags in Oregon.
Well, that sent me to the phone the the next day and I found out that the Northwest Grocery Association was one of the groups behind the poll.
"We're just trying to get an idea of where the public is on the issue," said Joe Gilliam, the group's president and a longtime Salem lobbyist. Gilliam's group has been on the losing edge of plastic bag politics lately.
Last year, the grocers teamed with environmentalists to get behind an unsucessful bill that would ban plastic checkout bags while levying a five-cent fee on paper bags. The idea was to head off local bans and have one statewide standard.
It's the kind of issue that attracts a lot of publicity since just about everybody shops and has an opinion on paper vs. plastic vs. reusable bags. The bill never made it out of the Senate and the Portland City Council then promptly proceeded to slap its own ban on plastic bags that begins on Oct. 15.
Gilliam said it's a decision that will be costly to the large grocery chains, and they fear they will face logistical problems dealing with a patchwork of local regulation.
So are they fixing to run their own statewide initiative?
"I'm not going to rule anything out," said Gilliam, adding that an initiative is an expensive and risky proposition. Still, he said he wants to see what the poll says. And he said he does think voters like the idea of being able to recycle plastic bags.
That brings its own policy problems. Sen. Mark Hass, D-Beaverton, who sponsored the unsuccessful legislation last year, said the ability to recycle plastic bags is problematic. As it happens, PolitiFact Oregon took up this question several months ago and found a (pardon the pun) mixed bag of answers.
Gilliam said other groups helped pay for the survey, but he declined to say who they are. For the record, I answered a lot of questions by saying "I don't know" or "undecided" or "I'll have to think about it." The grocers may want to recycle my responses.

Sullivan Street CDBG
The South Carolina Department of Commerce announced June 19, 2014 that the Greenwood Metropolitan District (GMD) in partnership with Greenwood County has been awarded a $700,000 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The Sullivan Street project was selected to receive the grant through a statewide competitive process.
The Greenwood Metropolitan District (GMD) will use the $700,000 federal grant to make improvements to its wastewater collection system, replacing pipes that are more than 75 years old. The project will be install approximately 4,700 feet of new eight-inch sewer collection lines on Sullivan Street, Jacobs Street, Walker Avenue, Addison Avenue, and Richards Street.
Since 2006, GMD has received $3.8 million in CDBG funds which the District has used to help upgrade its wastewater collection system. George Martin, GMD's General Manager said we are very pleased that the Department of Commerce continues to make this investment in upgrading the sewer system and thereby helping protecting the environment and public health for those who live Greenwood.
Stockman Branch Phase 2 CDBG
GMD receives $750,000 grant
The South Carolina Department of Commerce announced July 10, 2015 that the Greenwood Metropolitan District (GMD) in partnership with Greenwood County has been awarded a $750,000 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The Stockman Branch Phase 2 project was selected to receive the grant through a statewide competitive process.
The Greenwood Metropolitan District (GMD) will use the $750,000 federal grant to make improvements to its wastewater collection system, replacing pipes that are more than 75 years old. The project will be install approximately 900 feet of new 15-inch sewer lines, 3,300 feet of new 8-inch sewer collection lines, 27 manholes and rehabilitate the service connections for 116 homes in the Gage Street and Greene Street area. The bidding process is anticipated to begin in January 2016.
GMD is pleased that the Department of Commerce continues to make this investment in upgrading the sewer system and thereby helping protecting the environment and public health for those who live Greenwood.
Sample Branch Phase 1
The Greenwood Metropolitan District (GMD) is announcing the start of the "Sample Branch Replacement Sewer – Phase 1" a sewer trunk line replacement project in the area between Airport Road and Bypass 72. This initial phase will install approximately 8,000 feet of 24-inch diameter sewer line and 1,800 feet of 8-inch diameter sewer line. Construction will start near the Glendale Heights Subdivision between Airport Road and Laurel Road and continue along Sample Branch crossing Laurel Road, Sample Road and Bypass 72 ending at Bradford Place behind Quality Kia.
The $2,613,000 project was awarded to Don Moorhead Construction, inc of Belton, SC. Construction has begun and is expected to be completed by July 2016.
The current sewer trunk line was constructed before 1960 and is now in a reduced structural condition, which allows unwanted surface water and groundwater to get into the sewer lines increasing the possibility of a sanitary sewer overflows (SSO). Additionally, the line is undersized for the growth that has occurred along the Highway 72 corridor. The complete replacement of this sewer line will eliminate the unwanted water, reduce the potential for SSO's, improving the water quality of Sample Branch and Rocky Creek and provides additional capacity for economic development. The project is being fully funded with rate payer funds.
GMD sewer line replacement
August 19, 2014
The Greenwood Metropolitan District (GMD) is announcing the start of a sewer line replacement project in the area between Reynolds Avenue and Parker Avenue. The "Grendel Mill Village Sewer upgrade" will install approximately 4,300 feet of 8-inch diameter sewer line beginning on Cokesbury Street and continuing to Pelzer Street, Jordan Street, Klugh Street, and Parker Avenue
Many of the existing sewer lines are located under homes making them inaccessible for maintenance activities. This has resulted in lines that are in poor structural condition and allow unwanted surface water and groundwater to get into the sewer lines increasing the possibility of a sanitary sewer overflows (SSO). The complete replacement and relocation of these sewer lines will eliminate the unwanted water, reduce SSO's and improve the water quality. The $966,000 project is being funded in part by a $500,000 Community Development Block Grant. Construction began on August 18, 2014 and will continue until April 2015.
GMD receives DHEC award

Commissioner Art Bush Appointed to GMD board
Mr. Art Bush was sworn in on July 22, 2013 to fill the seat formerly held by Commissioner Gene Hancock, who passed away in July after a battle with cancer. The GMD staff welcomes Commissioner Bush and looks forward to working with him for the good of the Greenwood community.
GMD Partners with Clemson University on Research & Education Center on Human Genetics
Clemson University, in conjunction with the Greenwood Genetic Center, will expand existing facilities of the J.C. Self Research Institute to add a 17,000-square-foot research and education center in human genetics. The site is located adjacent to the Greenwood Genetic Center within the Greenwood Research Park. GMD is proud to have partnered with Greenwood County, the City of Greenwood, Greenwood Partnership Alliance, The Self Family Foundation, Greenwood Genetic Center, Greenwood Commission of Public Works, and others who volunteered time and money to make this project possible.
The Clemson University Center for Human Genetics will be a core campus for recruiting research and development companies engaged in human diagnostics, cognitive development, central nervous system, autism, birth defects, cancer and inflammatory diseases. The project will expand Clemson University's existing doctoral program in human genetics, and create an internationally competitive research and development team. Additionally, the research has the potential to identify better treatments for chronic disorders, such as diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease.
"This project is the result of a seven-year effort by the entire community," Clemson University President James F. Barker said. "The collaboration creates a center with state-of-the-art genetic equipment and expertise in the heart of South Carolina." Steven A. Skinner, Greenwood Genetic Center director and senior clinical geneticist, said the collaboration provides the foundation for the advancement of genetic diagnosis and therapeutics for patients not only across South Carolina, but globally. The presence of Clemson faculty and graduate students will enhance the already world-class research conducted in Greenwood, and will vastly increase the research capacity towards the goal of reducing the impact of genetic disorders.
Mark Warner, chief executive officer of Greenwood Partnership Alliance, said the initiative represents economic benefits to the county and the state. The state will benefit from increased research, development and manufacturing with potential to create thousands of direct and indirect jobs in research, manufacturing and agriculture during the next decade.

Visiting Mosques
Many Asian and African countries, including Tunisia, are predominantly Muslim, so the religious sites you are most likely to encounter, are, predictably, mosques. This is a brief tip of advice, written from the point of view of a non-Muslim, female traveler (yours truly!!!):
- Do dress modestly, covering arms, legs, shoulders and the like, no frivolous dressing will be allowed. Hire the modest dress if needed;
- Check whether you are allowed into the mosque at all, since most of them admit you only into the courtyard, and some do not admit non-Muslims at all. However, in several countries you may be able to visit the interiors of many mosques;
- Respect the boundaries laid and do not attempt to enter further (I saw such a thing once, and it did arouse ill-feeling);
- If possible try to avoid going even to the courtyard on Friday afternoon, since I remember this is the most important praying time of the week;
- If you are curious, feel free to ask questions (though not of people hurrying to pray) and most likely you will be answered: I've always found people proud of their culture and heritage and ready to explain it;
- Do not criticize things we in Europe and in the West might (such as separate praying space for men and women), for such are the customs of the land and mosques are the least appropriate places for such topics.
This advice is based only on common sense, but it allowed me to see something of the mosques and learn loads of interesting info on Muslim countries, their religion, and culture. Really helped me when we had a general education class on religions at University:))

Not just about money
After the flood of books on the financial crisis in the West, comes Raghuram Rajan's relatively slim volume on deeper fault lines that underlie global economies. To make his work accessible to a readership wider than economists and policy wonks, Rajan writes with clarity, using anecdotes and examples to make some points. The world today, he argues, is immensely richer and technologically advanced than it was even a few decades ago, but that doesn't mean that we've solved all economic problems.
The biggest problems for rich countries are mounting debt and aging populations. This is a double-edged sword: as people age, the working population shrinks, so today's debt will need to be paid by an increasingly smaller working population tomorrow. Allowing people to migrate from densely-populated countries could help, but immigration is a sticky political and cultural issue in most countries.
Many of Rajan's fault lines lie in America. The US has seen an unprecedented growth in inequality since the 1970s: real wages of manufacturing workers has stayed flat for nearly 40 years, while the richest handful has just got richer. To keep consumption growing, Americans have taken on huge amounts of debt. Getting people off this fix will be a gigantic task, one that'll need new skills, spread education, build on better healthcare and infrastructure. Reforming the flawed financial sector is just the tip of the iceberg.
China, which could soon become the most important economy in the world after the US, has its own fault lines. The one-child policy, imposed rigorously in the early 1980s, has created huge imbalances in gender and slowed down population growth. This will mean that China's working population will start aging soon, possibly before average incomes in China get to rise to developedcountry levels.
Rajan is happy that India isn't saddled with many of these problems: its youthful population is an engine of growth. But to harness this energy, we need to educate and train young people to deal with the complex technologies and solve problems that growth will bring.
He says most conflicts in India will be centred around land, and how it's acquired by governments and its agencies. Rajan points out, correctly, that unless land acquisition rules change, it'll strengthen businesses and elites that have strong links with local governments and punish people who don't. It'll be interesting to view Nandigram and Niyamgiri through this lens.

Love is not blind. It sees more not less and because it sees more, it's willing to see less.
Eye--Love the decorations..."Can I have" the Poinsettia or maybe we should just have an auction.
Yes, I am one for Christmas all year around, so count me in for an exchange next year no matter when it may be.

Thank Michelle, I agree it's a great idea to keep the "Around the World Tradition" going, I hope you get lots of support next year
hugs Karyn.
Here are a few of my decorations.............from my house to yours.....
You got some pretty stuff Smile...! I will take the deer and snowman for next year..lol...
Haha! Lovin all the "I wants" around here.....but I already have Eye's decorations (wink). That Santa beside the tree was on my Christmas cards last year and the nativity was in several layouts. LOL! I love the idea of sending Christmas decorations next year. Maybe a bulb of a favorite color or one with a scene and then tell why we picked that particular decoration. I think that would be nice, too!
In case I go missing call Moonlightpearl, Granny, twpclerk or Smile! Then have them call Crops because we're probably together at the Yoville Races!
Great idea Hope, this way we can look after Christmas when the decorations are on sale and save it when ever this gets started. I use to make lots of christmas decorations to give to friends. I haven't done it in a few years but this gives me a great idea to pass this long winter away. Maybe we could exchange idea's and pattern's for homemade one's .....xoxo
Funny Lois but I was thinking along the same lines. I think ya should do a HANDMADE ornament exchange!!!!

Our countdown of past Olympic host cities continues -- we're paying homage to Rome, as the Eternal City presses ahead with its bid to host the 2020 Games...
Just over 50 years ago, 5000 athletes flocked to Italy's capital to compete in the 1960 Olympic Games. The first to be fully televised, the Games saw Cassius Clay, later known as Muhammad Ali, win gold in light-heavyweight boxing, and Ethiopian Abebe Bikila run the marathon barefoot (going on to become the first black African Olympic champion).
Making the most of its architectural heritage, Rome used a mix of modern and ancient sites to hold the contests -- the wrestling competition took place in the Basilica of Maxentius, gymnastics in the Baths of Caracalla and the marathon runners crossed the finish line under the Arch of Constantine. A visit to the Roman Forum and the Colloseum will take in the latter two (a combined ticket for both costs from 12€), while the Baths (entry 6€) can be reached from Metro stations Circo Massimo or Piramide, both on Linea B.
If you've got time after a tour of the city's top sightseeing spots (the Spanish Steps might be a tourist trap, but they can't be missed), pay a visit to the Villaggio Olimpico. A huge complex on the outskirts of the city, the village's streets were named after competing countries: Via Unione Sovietica, Via Portogallo and Via India. It was here that a young Cassius Clay drank from the bidet in his suite, mistaking it for a water fountain.
Head west and you'll reach the Stadio Olimpico, first built in the '30s under fascist rule. A lot of the seating was constructed below ground level to prevent the stadium from obscuring Monte Mario (well worth a visit for outstanding views), but it was modified for the Olympics, and again for the 1990 FIFA World Cup. If you're there at the right time, you might be lucky enough to catch a football match -- it's the home ground for both Lazio and AS Roma.
After all that, I'd advise dodging the barrage of pastel-coloured scooters and Fiat 500s, finding a hidden piazza (follow the cobbles and you'll come to one eventually) and settling down with a plate-load of pasta...Click here for hot deals to the Italian capital.

The partial funding of a Susquenita advanced placement biology trip stirred confusion on district policies and ruffled some board members' feathers at a meeting Oct. 9.
The discussion centered on a trip to Wallops Island, Va., which biology teacher Richard Riter has led for 26 years. The board apparently had allotted $900 in the 2012-13 budget for the trip's chaperone tuition and transportation.
Some board members said they weren't aware of that allotment. Phillip Lehman said if he'd known that money was allocated when the budget was created, he would have eliminated it.
Board members also were confused whether the $900 was to go toward the payment of substitutes for teachers who would serve as chaperones.
Superintendent Kent Smith asked Riter and district financial manager Roger Carl for their understanding of the payments. Both Riter and Carl said they believed the board would contribute $900 in addition to covering substitute costs.
Short-term substitutes are paid $100 per day. Carl said by e-mail after the meeting that substitute costs represent about one percent of the district's general fund budget.
The Wallops Island trip, which takes place Oct. 24 to 27, requires three substitutes for two days. If the board did not approve the payment of substitutes the class would have to raise $600 in addition to the $375 each student must pay to go.
Earlier in the meeting the board approved a catering club field trip to Boston, an advanced placement history trip to Boston and a baseball trip to North Carolina. Those trips received no district contributions for costs, but when the question of substitute payment for the biology trip came up, the board displayed confusion on whether the previously approved groups were expected to pay substitutes.
"Since I've been here no club has paid for substitute teachers," Carl said.
"Then the direction of the board was not followed and that's going to change," said Lehman. He said that two years ago the board decided students participating in field trips would be required to cover payment of substitute teachers in the overall costs.
"They're going to have to start paying," Lehman reiterated.
Bryon Eppley made an unsuccessful motion to approve the promised $900 for the biology trip without the district paying for substitutes.
Superintendent Smith and several board members recommended approving the $900 and substitute costs as previously understood, but revisiting the substitute issue with regard to all field trips at another meeting.
Board members Michael Jones and Robert Staver both affirmed the quality of the Wallops Island field trip that over 33 years has become a tradition at Susquenita. Students on the trip study topics such as sand-dune ecology, intertidal biology and maritime forest ecology in daytime labs. They identify and study collected organisms at night. All participants complete a research paper on coastal ecology.
"If my wife still talks about high school at all, it's about that trip," Jones said.
Ultimately, the board approved the trip with the district contributing $900 for costs and paying for substitute teachers.
Although Susquenita's 2012-13 budget does not include allocations for other student field trips, it does include $2,500 for board member travel. That allocation is part of an item listed as "other purchased services" under administrative support services, according to Carl.
Prior to the biology field trip discussion, the board had approved a first reading of revisions to policy 231, which Smith said covers regulations on all trips and social events. Revisions officially go into effect after the board approves the second reading of the policy.
Smith said after the meeting that the district has a policy on club field trips or field trips taken by students in a particular course, however, the policy, which is available on the district's website, addressed guidelines for senior class trips, prom, and parents taking children out of school for a nonschool-sponsored trip.
The trips and events policy the board reviewed for the Oct. 9 meeting will not be posted online until after the second reading is approved. Lehman and board member Tina Brunner asked why policies under review are not posted on the district website before the second reading, to allow public input on revisions. Alternatively, Jones suggested attaching the policies being considered to the meeting agenda.
"I'd like to take it under advisement," Smith said.
In other business, the board approved $15,000 to connect lighting, computers, cameras and telephones to emergency power throughout the district. Smith and director of buildings and grounds Brad Howard said the need for the investment came to their attention during a recent power outage.

|[TenTec] Musings on the "Dreaded/Damaged UPS Pkg." from a Driver
|firstname.lastname@example.com (Michael A Goltz)
|Thu, 26 Nov 1998 00:27:15 -0500
Joe/Bill/Jim/John: Have read with great interest your writings on UPS and the dreaded damaged package. Before saying anything else let me say I am a UPS Driver and just passed 30 years service with them. I am 52 years old and still doing daily deliveries. Much has changed over the years. The advent of "Driver Release" or DR came about a few years ago when UPS realized our society had become a "Two Wage Earner" or "nobody's home" type of delivery. We used to leave the pkg. with a neighbor and get a signature but even that became undesirable due to "that one person in the group of 3 or 4 homes" that was ALWAYS home and did not want to accept pkgs for the neighbors anymore. Believe it or not this became a problem with complaints from the package receiver saying " I don't want them to take my pkg. anymore" and also complaints from the people you left the pkg. with saying "I'm tired of taking all the pkgs. for my neighbor's." The logical solution was to leave a delivery notice saying " we will be back tomorrow." This backfired because people would call and say "We both work-why do we need to sign for the package? Can't the driver just leave it?" It was amazing just how many customers wanted us to leave their merchandise because they WANTED it badly. After a lot of years of very unhappy customers (because they would have to stay home from work or come up to the UPS building to pick up the pkg.) UPS decided to try what the Post Office had been doing for years-with an improvement- leave the pkg. and assume FULL responsibility for it. I have had less than 20 or 25 tracers for driver released packages since its beginning 5 years ago out of approx. 15 or 16 THOUSAND I have left at homes in the same time frame. Most of these end up to be recovered--funny how people say they did not get something on the phone but when you go out to the house and tell them you left it right by the grill on the back deck and Oh yes-- I also said hello to your son Robbie that day-----they say "well-- I MIGHT have gotten that "--let me check with my husband or look around the house." Bingo. The tracer gets canceled. Now I am not saying that is the case in ALL tracers. I have had some stolen off the porch or just disappear from the garage or carport.. But UPS will always pay for the merchandise on a driver release delivery--the key here is to have a receipt or bill of sale or some DOCUMENT to establish the value of the driver released package. This is where ALL the complaints come from--people just do not save that sort of stuff. Even if they do they cannot find it. That in turn holds up the process because UPS will do nothing until some kind of paperwork is presented. I admit I HATED the driver release program from its beginning- my workload increased by over 25 percent because you could get more stops delivered in the same amount of time with no signatures-but by and large most of my customers loved it. They would all tell me "exact spots" to leave pkgs.by placing small notes on their storm doors---- something like " Mike- leave my pkg. in the barn" or "UPS person--leave the Land's End pkg.please. I am not here". I did not think that was such a good idea-telling anyone at the door that no one was home. But as time went on it worked out better and better. Management kept telling us that complaints were going down-- our customers liked it. All was well!! Then -as always- something goes wrong. The major guideline in driver release is to "leave the package out of sight-and out of the weather." Also leave the customer a note if you left the package in an unusual place. Unfortunately, some drivers do not follow these guidelines. It sounds as if these "bad UPS service" postings stem from actions of individual drivers. BELIEVE ME-- The company is concerned about this and I can prove it to you. Each driver has a print-out listing ALL the driver release claims for him ( with dollar amounts) and under what conditions they occurred. A bad driver stands out like a sore thumb and management will document his "bad deliveries" with photographs taken from the street right after he has left an "unsafe delivery". Some have been fired. Others are "re-trained in the driver release methods". I am telling you all this because I want you to understand the Big Brown machine does not want to spend money on claims that are some lazy driver's fault. It is a great temptation to leave a package in plain sight---many of my customers get home after dark and would not even see it if it was not right in front of the door. In fact, some ask me to leave it exactly that way-so they will be sure to see it when they pull in the drive. SO---- Why not have the shipper put a "signature required" sticker on the package? It does not cost any more to ship (unless the shipper is getting a negotiated discount which is not my area of expertise) and in fact many companies do just that. Gateway 2000, MMR Pharmacy, Dell Computer etc. A long list. Ten-Tec could do this on everything they ship or just certain high value items. Again-- we open the door to all the unhappy folks who got home looking for that OMNI VI and found a note saying "stay home tomorrow - we will be back." It comes down to pleasing MOST of the customers and most like the idea of getting their package as soon as possible with no delay. Granted--the horror stories about deliveries placed on the reflector should not have happened. I guess what I am trying to get across is that it is not UPS's fault--it is your driver. I realize he represents UPS on your street and it is easy to say our service has gone sour--but it takes two to tango. Leave the idiot a note saying " HEY-- Don't put my pkg. by the garage door--put it on the back porch where it is safe!!! (or whatever applies). Tape this small note right where he has been leaving your stuff and LEAVE it up there. Leave it for a few months if necessary.Tape it down on all sides--it does not have to be big. The point is " HE" (or she) will get the point and do what you ask. I don't care if he is the "original " idiot--no driver wants a customer complaint. Every complaint is presented to a driver the next day as soon as he reports to work and he needs to give an answer about it. Even if it seems the person on the phone who does not speak very good English does not understand--Believe me- he will hear about it pronto. As to damages that occur in the system-- I have no helpful ideas for that. All the package sorts are mechanized and use conveyor belts and human loaders/unloaders. I do not see that part of the operation. Most of it is during the night. One thing I tell my customers when they get a damaged package that looked fine on the outside is " I'm sorry it is broken -but I was the last person to see that package before you did". I know that is an excuse--what I mean by that is that I never saw it being handled. It is loaded in my truck when I leave the building. Here again--call the 800 PICK-UPS line and report "concealed damage". I know it is frustrating-you have to listen to that stupid recording. Finally I have come to something that is UPS's own fault. The handling of packages within the building by the sorters and the redundant telephone recording with seemingly un-caring telephone people. Again--those people are all documented (like the drivers) and all it takes is "I don't like the answer you just gave me. Let me talk to your supervisor NOW." Believe me again--you do that and a comment goes in that operator's file. Not a good thing- and maybe that person will straighten up!! I KNOW none of this should be necessary--but as the last post said--the world is not perfect. Make a little noise sometimes-it clears the air!! I hope this long winded post has helped. It has made ME feel a lot better!!!!!

A Missouri state senator has refused to stand while her colleagues recited the Pledge of Allegiance in the state Capitol.
Sen. Jamilah Nasheed, a St. Louis Democrat, says her silent protest Wednesday on the Senate floor was intended to show solidarity with San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
Kaepernick has kneeled for the national anthem in protest of police brutality and racial oppression. Nasheed, who is black, says she wants to call attention to those issues and isn't "anti-America." Nasheed's protest was met with silence in the chamber.

SYRACUSE, NY -- Coleman's Authentic Irish Pub on Tipperary Hill has corrected the problems found during two Onondaga County Health Department inspections earlier this summer.
The clean bill of health came after a third inspection that took place between Aug. 17 and Aug. 23, according to county reports.
Coleman's, a landmark at 100 Lowell Ave. in Syracuse since 1933, failed an inspection on June 18 and the follow-up visit on July 15, according to health department reports. Repeat concerns included poorly maintained equipment, notably the reach-in cooler, moldy bread and food stored at improper temperatures.
After the second report, manager Dennis Coleman said the faulty inspections would prompt the pub to "completely overhaul" the kitchen, which was last remodeled in the late 1970s.
"We've got a lot of equipment on order," Coleman said today in an email. "We met again today with the architect and builder to discuss options. We want to make sure we do this right!"
Coleman had said on Aug. 7 that the work "includes a new floor, a new kitchen prep line with refrigeration units that are easy to move and easy to keep clean, and offer more efficient and proper storage of all items that require refrigeration, and a new walk-in cooler. Essentially, much of the kitchen will be brand new."

By Michael H. Kleinschrodt
DVD columnist
When friends with no history of mental illness exhibit abrupt changes in their personalities, there could be a simple explanation: Their bodies may have been taken over by aliens. Whether slimy and sluglike or slimy and tentacled, space invaders are among Hollywood's most enduring stock characters. See if you can spot the aliens in these DVDs faster than Nicole Kidman spots the aliens in "The Invasion," which opens in theaters today.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Unrated, 1956) Kidman's film is a loose remake of Don Siegel's classic about a small town whose residents are being replaced by alien duplicates. Kevin McCarthy stars in the film about "pod people." Philip Kaufman directed a well-respected remake in 1978.
Men in Black (PG-13, 1997) Barry Sonnenfeld directs Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones in a comedy about federal agents trying to control Earth's resident alien population, including a giant cockroach that has taken over Vincent D'Onofrio's body. The movie spawned a sequel in 2002.
I Married a Monster From Outer Space (Unrated, 1958) Newlywed Gloria Talbott discovers that aliens have taken over the bodies of her small town's most prominent men (including husband Tom Tryon) and are trying to impregnate the women. "The Astronaut's Wife" is an inferior take.
Dreamcatcher (R, 2003) Friends discover that aliens are taking over the residents of a small town, gestating in people's bowels before taking control of their brains. Lawrence Kasdan (of all people) directs an adaptation of Stephen King's novel. Morgan Freeman, Jason Lee and Donnie Wahlberg star.

11/22 RIP, Michael Weiner
Friday was a sad day for Major League players trying to cope with the passing of union executive director Michael Weiner. Cubs pitcher Carlos Villanueva, an active member of the MLB Players Association, called it a "difficult day."
"It was a very difficult day, not only for me, but for all of us who had the pleasure of spending time with Michael," Villanueva said Friday. "All I can say about Michael is what a wonderful leader he was to us, how he genuinely cared about us, and even when he was battling his illness, how he was there almost everyday at the office making sure that we were OK."
Weiner lost his 15-month battle with brain cancer on Thursday. He was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor in August 2012, and continued to serve the players and provide leadership and counsel to the MLBPA staff. Weiner was 51.
"He was not only our leader but he was family, because only someone who is family could dedicate their life to us the way he did," Villanueva said.
The Cubs pitcher is the only non-American born player on the MLBPA board, and involved with the Latin players.
"From a Latin player point of view, he fought for us, he made sure that we got fair treatment above all, even when it seemed that we would get the short end of the stick," Villanueva said from his home in the Dominican Republic. "Michael always had his calm demeanor, worked his magic, and made us feel that we mattered.
"He showed me personally, to not only care about the Latin players, but to care and love all of our members equally, that it is never about the individual, it's about what we do now, and how that will affect in a positive way the well being of our future members," Villanueva said. "He will stay with us forever, and we will never have anybody like him."
Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo also acknowledged Weiner's passing on Twitter, saying: "It's sad to see such a good man's life be taken by cancer! Thank you for everything you have done! Rest in peace Michael Weiner!"
— Carrie Muskat

I extend my condolences to Mr. Weiner`s family. I admire that he continued to perform his job even after his diagnosis and while undergoing what must have been tremendous stress.
May Michael Weiner rest in peace and his family find comfort in their faith. We can be comforted in knowing that people like Anthony Rizzo will continue to raise money to "find the cure" to this horrible disease!

Several teams from the newly-formed Russian Continental Hockey League (KHL) are threatening to offer Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin a contract in the $12 million range, tax free, but Malkin didn't leave for the U.S. despite repeated threats and intimidation tactics from Metallurg Magnitogorsk's owner to head back home for the money, and the IIHF says that any contract offers that are made to players whose rights belong to other teams are plain old illegal.
Red Wings GM Ken Holland isn't particularly concerned with the offers the Russian oligarchs who own the Continental Hockey League's biggest-market teams will make to high-profile players, like a certain Pavel Datsyuk:
June 22, Associated Press: The CHL was founded last month, replacing the former Russian Super League, and is expected to feature 24 teams when it's scheduled to begin play in September. Two veteran NHL free agents, forward Chris Simon and goaltender John Grahame, reportedly expressed interest in joining the new league. Others might follow, but it's too early to tell what real impact the Russian league will have on the NHL talent pool.
"Obviously, if you've got star players, you're concerned if you have a chance to lose them. But let's see what happens," said Detroit Red Wings GM Ken Holland, whose team features Russian star Pavel Datsyuk. "I find that talk fuels a lot of speculation, and speculation fuels a lot of stories, and a lot of times things don't turn out the way everybody thinks."
Wayne Gretzky had a different reaction.
"Forget concerns. I wish they were around when I was playing," said Gretzky, coach and managing partner of the Phoenix Coyotes. "My goodness, it's a big decision for (Malkin)," Gretzky said. "Financially, it's incredible. You get a chance to go back to your home country. On the other side of it, you get to play with one of the best players in the National Hockey League in Crosby. ... In some ways it's overwhelming, to be honest with you."
I hate to agree with deputy commissioner Bill Daly on any occasion, but he's spot-on here:
"We still continue to believe that the best players in the world will continue to want to play in the National Hockey League, the best league in the world."
It's entirely possible that 3rd and 4th-liners, third-pair defencemen, and backup goalies will be swayed by the former Russian Superleague's all-inclusive deals, which include the tax-free cash, use of a car and an apartment, and, in some cases, paid utilities and even groceries, but players like Datsyuk and Malkin want to win the Stanley Cup, and the lure of the NHL as the best league in the world sway almost every player not named Aleksey Morozov to choose less bucks and more Cups.

Grand Rapids Press Photographer's favorite moments of 2011
Wednesday, December 28, 2011 6:25 PM
Inappropriate photo? Alert us.
People make their way from the PNC Bank parking ramp to the Amway Grand Hotel by way of the Skywalk. Much of downtown Grand Rapids is connected by way of an above-ground, climate-controlled skywalk. The skywalk starts at the Van Andel Arena, goes through the Arena Station building, across Market Street, turning north through the Plaza Towers, continuing north through the Comerica Bank building, where it connects to the JW Marriott Hotel. Continuing north it goes through the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel, then on through the DeVos Performance Hall. The skywalk ends at DeVos Place, the 160,000-square-foot convention center.

Cat in the Hat cupcakes
So as many of you know, I'm the room parent in my daughters 1st grade class. Tomorrow the are celebrating Dr. Suess' birthday and I saw these on Pintrest, and I couldn't resist. I made 24 mini cupcakes and 2 regular sized.
Those are adorable! We actually have a Mulberry street here, so on Saturday all the kids are dressing up and having a parade for "To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street". :) Love Dr. Seuss!
The picture from pintrest didn't have directions.. I had to make them :)
Quoting mommytohuddy:
Cute! Next week is cat in the hat week at DSs daycare. I might just have to try these :) do you have a link?
That's what we're doing too! I just added to the fun :)
Quoting kileys_mommy:
Those are cute! DD's class is celebrating, also. They are having a "Wear your PJs to School Day." Plus, they are supposed to bring in their favorite books to read in class.
