Absolutely delicious. Has become a bit of a staple in our house now. I find it takes longer to reduce down to a thick sauce so I tend to leave it in the oven with the lid off or move it to the hob for another hour or so (be careful not to burn the bottom!). I also use black cherry jam instead of red currant jelly. Tastes divine and so easy to make. This will be on our dinner party menu for years!
This is one of those recipes that has absolutely everything going for it! Exquisitely tasty as it stands, but flexible enough to agree with virtually anything you decide to dress it up with. My last batch included parsnip, a few crushed juniper berries, dashes of Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce and mushroom ketchup, and a packet of dried porcini with their soaking liquid. It doesn't seem to mind how long you forget about it in the oven, and if anything it improves with freezing. It will be in my repertoire for many years to come. Nice one, Nick!
Used local Scottish venison as we were on holiday there which also meant the casserole was left nearly all day to cook so reduced the temperature to 120C (fan) and it was still absolutely fine after more than 6 hours. Had blackcurrant jam instead of sharper redcurrant jelly, but it was still delicious. Served
Absolutely delicious. My first time cooking with venison too, and it turned out wonderfully. I wanted to make it more of a one pot meal, so added more root vegetables (more carrots, parsnip, sweet potato, swede) and then upped the amount of liquid a little to ensure they all got cooked. Served with crusty bread - amazing.
My first time cooking with venison but this makes a great dinner party meal as you can prepare it then leave it. I doubled the veg and added button mushrooms later on. The fresh thyme wafted through the house impressing the guests as they entered the house. Such a rich flavour so make sure you choose a light pudding to follow.
Had this for dinner last night, was amazing!! I replaced the celery & swede with extra carrots and Portobello mushrooms. I also used ST. Dalfour Four Fruit jam which is gluten free and very thick in constancy and worked very well.I was unsure about the wine, so used what we had at home(Goldridge Pino Noir). Served the dish with green beans& Jacket potato. Divine!!!! :) *****

Trickery Generally Comes with a Smile
Before you put all your faith in that pretty little sheep who wants to walk you home, perhaps you should ask for a closer look at its teeth… 'cuz they might just eat you… as may the fledgling accusations of my vitriolic and oft misguided colleague, Mr. Allen Krause, who yesterday painted me as the type of man who joyously spreads inaccurate information throughout the interwebs, with no regard for reason.
Well, phooey, 'cuz that's a load of crap and everyone knows it.
Believe me, I spent almost 15 minutes researching the many reasons why the 2010 Tigers are more than set to stink up the AL Central. If Mr. Krause cannot accept the brutal truth because he is blinded by his unmatched loyalty to the stylized "D", then that is on him.
But I don't think it's fair to twist words and trick the masses as he did with this proclamation which aimed to maim my original point:
"Are the Tigers worse off than the White Sox, Indians, Royals or even the Twins? No."
Ah ha! Did you catch that? He asked (then answered in the negative) if the Tigers were worse off than all of the other teams in the division. While in actuality, we all know it only takes one or two teams to be better than the Tigers to see their season sunk; and I assure you, dear readers, the White Sox and Twins will both rest well on top of the Tigers this season.
Come on now, Al, did you really think I'd let you get away with that?
Such lame and smile-stamped trickery is reminiscent of one Bill O'Reilly announcing to the world that he is writing a new book on the assassination of Abraham Lincoln — a fresh history book that will take the reader "into Ford's Theater and into the mind of Lincoln's assassin, John
Wilkes Booth, and on the manhunt to find and bring to justice the
killer of one our greatest presidents."
Of course, in the same misleading vein as Mr. Krause above, Mr. O'Reilly fails to remind us that that book has already been written… quite well actually… by James L. Swanson.
I imagine O'Reilly could only muck it up.
Hate me. I don't care. Just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
7 Comments
"Manhunt" was not a good book. Swanson's style didn't agree with me, and he was kinda condescending. That said, I don't think an O'Reilly version would be much better.
So why exactly will the White Sox be better than the Tigers? Jake Peavy?
Hmmm.. The Tigers. Well, their gonna be better than the Indians…. definitely. They look like they are gonna get the Sox. But those Twinkies,… yes those Twinkies have it.
it looks like you took a low blow at Allen on that one, but who cares it's the offseason… still.
Cici — I have to disagree with you there on the Swanson book. I've been a Lincolnphile my whole life, and that book (though not much about Lincoln himself) was not only a fast paced, informative read, but I learned all kinds of new things in the process. The Sox? Peavy for one, Buehrle, Danks, Floyd as well. That's a great starting four, their bullpen is solid and they have a balanced lineup. You'll see.
Ted — It's gonna be the Twins and Sox. The Indians should be fun if they bring up all those prospects, but I don't think they'll be at the top.
O'Reilly's gonna tell the untold story of the links between Lincoln and Booth—–based on a loofah.
Prince — Now that I might consider paying a couple of bucks for… laughs are valuable.
Jane — Ok, if you say so… then I guess we have to look out for the Royals too (Greinke)🙂

- A 2 per cent distance to z = 0.35 by reconstructing baryon acoustic oscillations I: methods and application to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
- Author(s)
- Padmanabhan, Nikhil; Xu, Xiaoying; Eisenstein, Daniel J.; Scalzo, Richard; Cuesta, Antonio J.; Mehta, Kushal T.; Kazin, Eyal
- Abstract
- We present the first application to density field reconstruction to a galaxy survey to undo the smoothing of the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature due to non-linear gravitational evolution and thereby improve the precision of the distance measurements possible. We apply the reconstruction technique to the clustering of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7) luminous red galaxy (LRG) sample, sharpening the BAO feature and achieving a 1.9 per cent measurement of the distance to z = 0.35. We update the reconstruction algorithm of Eisenstein et al. to account for the effects of survey geometry as well as redshift-space distortions and validate it on 160 LasDamas simulations. We demonstrate that reconstruction sharpens the BAO feature in the angle averaged galaxy correlation function, reducing the non-linear smoothing scale Σnl from 8.1 to 4.4 Mpc h−1. Reconstruction also significantly reduces the effects of redshift-space distortions at the BAO scale, isotropizing the correlation function. This sharpened BAO feature yields an unbiased distance estimate (<0.2 per cent) and reduces the scatter from 3.3 to 2.1 per cent. We demonstrate the robustness of these results to the various reconstruction parameters, including the smoothing scale, the galaxy bias and the linear growth rate. Applying this reconstruction algorithm to the SDSS LRG DR7 sample improves the significance of the BAO feature in these data from 3.3σ for the unreconstructed correlation function to 4.2σ after reconstruction. We estimate a relative distance scale DV/rs to z = 0.35 of 8.88 ± 0.17, where rs is the sound horizon and is a combination of the angular diameter distance DA and Hubble parameter H. Assuming a sound horizon of 154.25 Mpc, this translates into a distance measurement DV(z = 0.35) = 1.356 ± 0.025& 8201;Gpc. We find that reconstruction reduces the distance error in the DR7 sample from 3.5 to 1.9 per cent, equivalent to a survey with three times the volume of SDSS.

PORTALES — Eastern New Mexico University has chosen Joseph Kline of Savannah College of Art and Design as the new dean of the College of Fine Arts on the Portales campus. Kline will officially begin September 14 of the fall semester.
Kline is enthusiastic about his new position at ENMU. "I was looking for a university that had a student focus like Eastern does," explains Kline. "My wife loves the west so when the position was open at Eastern we saw it all come together and I applied."
Kline is looking forward to continuing the success of the college of fine arts by linking more of the artistic fields to each other. Kline says by creating the "synergy" between disciplines then "we are not locked down to one specific art form." He explains, "filmmakers can learn from painters and actors can learn from sculptors; it's all about creating opportunities to find the commonalities and enhance our skills."
ENMU President Steven Gamble says, "We are fortunate to employ a dean of fine arts of the caliber of Dr. Kline."
Jamie Laurenz, vice president of academic affairs at ENMU adds, "Dr. Kline combines significant professional and administrative experience with a passion and enthusiasm for the arts that bodes well for the future of the college."
Kline will move his wife, Tiffany, and his daughter, Maybelline, to Portales. "Life is a constant process of change and we are very enthusiastic about coming to Portales," says Kline. "My daughter is just turning five so this is a great time for us to move and it's a great place to move to."
Kline's wife will be the proud owner of a new car because of the long distance between Portales and the larger cities surrounding the area. "I will be happy to drive my 400-year-old car until the end of time so she can have a new one," says Kline.
Kline is anticipating his arrival on campus and is happy to have an open-door policy. "I hope to meet my new colleagues and students as soon as possible so just come right up and say 'hi,'" says Kline.
Kline attended Colorado State University for his bachelor's degree, The Catholic University of America in Washington D.C. for his master's degree and earned his doctorate in fine arts at Texas Tech University.
Dr. John Olson will continue to serve as the interim dean of the College of Fine Arts until Kline's start date.

Hi -
I've got a 3.5 month old (my third, so I'm old hand at starting solids) and I know most people here are not pro solid starters until 6+ mos, but I've got a bit of a different baby. My 3.5 month old is already 22 lbs, almost 30 inches long. He's asking to nurse pretty much every 2 hours during the day, and the same at night. He has only one stretch from 7 to 10 that he can go more than two hours BF. And yes, he's exclusively BFd. When we eat dinner, he watches us and drools. Then, he gets mad after having to sit there and watch us eat. As soon as the food is gone from the table he stops drooling and stops crying and carrying on. Also, I'm not doing well parenting my older sons because I'm so tired at night from waking to feed him (10 PM, 12PM, 2 AM, 4 AM, 6 AM). I've developed insomnia where I can't fall back asleep between the 2 and 4 AM feeding. DH is out of town all week so can't help at all with the older sons, so I'm literally barely surviving on about 4.5 hours of sleep a night. Also, I'm losing weight at about a pound a week, already below prepreg. weight...and I eat ice cream every night after dinner.
The question is this...is my little guy ready for food? I know the 'party line' but think about my particular situation before responding please.
Thanks so much!

America's got talent!
April 17, 2013 —
Okay, I admit it. I'm a reality show junkie. On the rare occasion that I find myself at home, rather than traversing the countryside in search of adventure, I can be found on the couch, remote in hand. Thanks to the Gypsy weddings, dance competitions and parades of bachelors seeking brides, I am never let down when seeking a guilty pleasure. It seems that any subject is fair game these days, and more than a few people have suggested that my crazy life here in the Upper Delaware Valley is perfect fodder for some Hollywood producer just waiting to turn Dharma the Wonder Dog (www.facebook.com/dharmathewonderdog) into the superstar she is destined to be.
Meanwhile, neither of us is willing to let the grass grow under our feet (or paws), so our search for entertainment right here in the Catskills continues. For years now, I've heard about the legendary homegrown talent show that takes place annually in Hortonville, NY, and when Carol Montana (www.thecatskillchronicle.com) called on Dharma to be a judge, I begged to be included. Montana sighed into the phone and acquiesced, mumbling, "if you must," before disengaging. Choosing to ignore Montana's blatant disregard for my wounded ego, I made a mental note to be on my best behavior and checked my calendar to see if there were any conflicts with the dog's schedule.
Noting that I had arranged to schlep her to a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Roscoe, NY prior to the show, I called new business owner Vinny Barbato (www.bigdogarmsonline.com) to confirm. "It's the little dog we're interested in," he barked, "but sure, feel free to come along." Sigh. Friends picked me up and off we went. Sure enough, Barbato's big dog Maximus was in attendance, greeting guests and posing for pics with luminaries from the chamber of commerce (www.catskills.com). Guns, ammo and all things "camo" were unveiled and a mob of well wishers showed up to check out the store, share a slice of cake (www.sugarrushli.com) and cheer as the ribbon fluttered to the sidewalk. Big Dog Arms is officially open for business.

Rotarian honored
MONTPELIER Rotary Clubs have been serving the needs of communities worldwide since 1905, stated Lindel James, Montpelier Rotary Club president. Our Rotary Club is pleased to honor a member of our community, Corrine Sheridan, who has been serving the needs of the Montpelier community for nearly 60 years. Sheriden was named Montpelier Rotary Club 2013 Distinguished Citizen of the Year at a recent Rotary Club luncheon.
Over the past 25 years Sheriden has volunteered weekly at the Montpelier Food Pantry. She has worked to increase its resources by gathering food and donations at City Hall during voting events. She was instrumental in moving the Montpelier Rotary Club to collect food donations at its regular meeting the fourth Monday of each month.
She has also volunteered with the Catholic Daughters of the Americas and is a longtime member and contributor to the Montpelier Senior Activity Center. Her baking and crafting talents have been featured in many Christmas bazaars, craft and bake sales. She also runs a weekly bridge game at the center.
Montpelier Mayor John Hollar read a resolution honoring Sheriden. Numerous friends and fellow volunteers spoke about her dedication to the community. These included Kimberly Lashua from the Food Pantry, Gesulado Schneider, Barbara Prentice, Loretta Schneider from the Catholic Daughters of the Americas, her son Jim representing the family, Charlie Wiley, 2012 Distinguished Citizen of the Year and longtime friend and neighbor. Sheriden and her husband, Jim, raised three sons in Montpelier. They have five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

It's strange, but to my knowledge this is is the first time I'm typing a comment to a post a day before ( 22) the post was published (23).
Well as to the post itself I only can envy your energy. Exciting life: one major birthday party after Indosat Launching Party. Icons, blackberries and models, but most of all models. Ferrari, food, drinks and gorgeous ladies, most of all Ferrari.
It makes me realize the kind of deprived, immovable, boring sucker I've grown to be. Something ought to be done about it: "Oh Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz. My friends all drive Porches. I must make amends..." (Janis Joplin)

I have read that you should only double-pump for 10-15 minutes at a time, but I have also read that you should pump 3-5 minutes after the milk stops flowing. What if my milk is still flowing after 15 minutes? Is it safe to continue pumping? Is there a point where too much pumping will hurt me?
I was using a PISA, but I just started to use a Ameda hospital-grade pump today.


text: My 6 week old DS has been strictly breastfeeding for the last 4.5 weeks. We are both just getting over thrush that's persisted pretty much the entire time I've been BF! so now that I'm pretty much pain free from the thrush, we are now having another issue. I don't know if it's just that he is going through a growth spurt or what but it seems like he's frustrated about 10 minutes into him eating. He will thrash his head, kick his legs and almost punch me wiu his arms and fists, and also make grunting noises. He will also pull off the breast and start to cry as if he's not getting enough. He is gaining enough weight though... Born at 8 lbs 6 oz, he now weighs (as of Sunday) 11 lbs 8 oz. I just wonder if now that I'm more relaxed with him feeding that my milk is really coming in or I'm just not making enough. Also, lately he's been extremely fussy after eating. He does make a clicking sound and I can actually hear him ingest air so I'm sure the fussiness is gas but I can't get a burp out of him!? Any help would be appreciated. I saw a LC on Monday last week who said everything looked normal as far as the latch and he is not tongue tied. and of course wasn't having the issues I am now... That was for the thrush. Ugh... I just wish this would get easier.

Up until a month ago, I had never heard of a village in Normandy named Estouteville (known today as Estouteville-Écalles), nor of the English descendants of that place—the Stutville family—whose surname evoked their Norman origin. A month ago, on the eve of my monumental Internet collapse, I had just learned that my paternal ancestors in England named Latton were descendants of the Stutvilles of Estouteville. I must admit, however, that I am unlikely to unearth a detailed paper trail concerning the Stutvilles of the same quality as my direct links to the Conqueror, as presented in my previous post, entitled Genealogical breakthrough [display].
In other words, I retain the fine but fuzzy idea that I'm a descendant of the English Stutvilles whose origin was the Norman village of Estouteville... but I shall surely remain eternally incapable of substantiating that claim by means of hard genealogical facts.
Meanwhile, I'm impressed by various well-documented French descendants of that Norman village and its noble family.
The cardinal Guillaume d'Estouteville, for example, pleaded in favor of Joan of Arc.
I shall be investigating both this Norman village and its descendants... and attempting to link them more precisely, if possible, to our Lattons.

I am really interested in your Stutville connection. My mother was a Stutfield - the most recent version of Estouteville - and I am doing a study of the family.ReplyDelete
Do you have any more Estouteville/Stutville info? I have a good deal but am trying to get as much as I canReplyDelete
Yes, there's tons of stuff about the Estouteville family, primarily in French.ReplyDelete

St Teilo's Church
The Story of the Murals
How did we find the wall paintings?
In the early 1980s patches of colour were noticed showing through the plaster on the interior walls. These turned out to be amazing medieval wall paintings.
How old are they?
Several layers of wall paintings were discovered. The earliest date from about 1350 and the most recent from 1790.
How did we uncover the paintings?
Layers of limewash were scraped away using doctors' scalpels. The paintings were layered one on top of another. To uncover the lower layers and oldest paintings, the top layers had to be destroyed. Examples of the oldest paintings are very rare in Wales, so it was decided to save these. Every layer was recorded and photographed.
Why did we move the wall paintings?
By the summer of 1984 the Church had no roof and was due to be dismantled. The wall paintings were carefully removed before this work started. The rewards were breathtaking: over 15 square metres of late medieval wall paintings were uncovered.
Who were the original artists?
Nobody knows; they could be the work of travelling or local artists. Perhaps they worked on commission for the church and monastic authorities, or were paid for by local church congregations. Some paintings were copied from woodcut prints, fashionable at the time.
What sort of paint was used?
Artists used pigments made from natural minerals; these could range in colour from purple and red to yellow. Different shades were created by mixing these with white pigment (made from limewash) or a black pigment (made from soot or charcoal).
Sometimes more expensive pigments were used: a blue (made from the mineral lapis lazuli); a red (made from cinnabar); gold and silver leaf.
How did artists paint on the walls?
The design was traced onto the plaster and the walls were sprinkled with water before being painted. Artists used organic binding materials such as buttermilk, egg yolk or linseed oil to make the paint.

5 Comments on Instructions for iwi(4)
iwi(4) doesn't need firmware from pkgsrc, because the firmware is in base.
iwi_bss.ko, iwi_ibss.ko and iwi_monitor.ko modules
Awesome. Big thanks to 'ferz' for his contribution.
If you're updating the wireless docs, please add "weptkey 1 up" to the examples line in the ath man page where it says to connect to a Specific BSS network with WEP encryption.
I found I had to add "weptkey 1 up" , after failing to get working ath connections, where wpi (on another machine) had used a similar command line with "weptkey 1 up" and it worked fine. When I added it to the example, my ath started working….
The online handbook wpa_supplicant docs have a notice about being wrong, without any info on what part is wrong with the example or what to do instead…
edb – can you submit a patch, or an email to firstname.lastname@example.com?

This electric knife sharpener earned The Best rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because it produced the sharpest, most resilient edges. Knife blades were dulled by running them along cement blocks 100 times prior to testing. The Best model ground edges that chopped spaghetti squash with little effort and sliced smoothly through sheets of paper, unlike lesser sharpeners that created edges that required great force to penetrate squash and cut paper into ragged pieces. The Best model sharpened serrated knives that cut easily through cardboard, far superior to lesser models that could not sharpen any toothed blades. The three-stage sharpener uses 100% diamond abrasives, hardened steel, and flexible stropping discs to grind and polish an edge and restore its original sharpness in only 10 seconds. Elastomeric guides ensure knives are kept at the proper angle for optimal sharpening. The Best model has a built-in magnet that catches knife blade shavings for easy cleanup and it was one of the quietest models. 9 1/2" L x 4" H x 3 1/2" D. (5 lbs.)

"The simulation, postprocessing, and visualization capabilities of MATLAB and Simulink provide us with deeper insight and greater confidence in our design than we would have if we coded directly in C."Erwin Mooij, Airbus Defence and Space Netherlands
As a participant in the European aerospace industry, Airbus Defence and Space Netherlands has a proven track record of designing crucial systems and subsystems for many European Space Agency (ESA) initiatives. To achieve its string of successes and meet stringent deadlines, Airbus Defence and Space Netherlands takes an agile, iterative approach to system development that promotes reuse.
Engineers at Airbus Defence and Space Netherlands rely on MathWorks tools for Model-Based Design to accelerate control systems and simulator development, increase model reuse, streamline formal review processes, and improve collaboration with other ESA contractors.
"On space projects, there is always time pressure," explains Erwin Mooij, senior functional specialist at Airbus Defence and Space Netherlands. "MathWorks tools help us save time by enabling us to quickly modify our system models and extend our designs."
Airbus Defence and Space Netherlands was contracted to design the attitude and orbital control system for Herschel/Planck, an ESA mission scheduled for launch in 2007 that will advance astronomical research. The project includes two satellites: Herschel, the largest space telescope ever launched, and Planck, a telescope for studying the origin and evolution of the universe.
To develop the system, engineers would need to integrate existing models of hardware components including sensors, such as star trackers and gyroscopes, as well as actuators for the thruster system. The onboard software receives input from the sensors and calculates the output needed to drive the thrust actuators.
Moreover, because the engineers would work with external contractors, Airbus Defence and Space Netherlands would require a collaborative modeling and simulation environment for developing complex control systems and simulators in meeting tight time constraints imposed by ESA.
The Airbus Defence and Space Netherlands team used MathWorks tools for Model-Based Design to design the Herschel/Planck control system for the onboard software and to set up a simulation environment that facilitates reuse and rapid updates to subsystem models during the project.
"MATLAB, Simulink, and Simulink Coder form a flexible and automated environment that enables rapid design changes," says Mooij. "Whenever we update our models, we always use Simulink. Even if you know C very well, Simulink is easier to use because it is at a higher level."
With little knowledge of the actual hardware performance, the engineers initially used functional C models of existing sensors to approximate the hardware. As more information became available, the team refined the control system design and added more complex sensor and actuator models to improve the accuracy of their simulations. Using Simulink® S-functions, Airbus Defence and Space Netherlands easily incorporated the C models for the space environment and flight mechanics.
Airbus Defence and Space Netherlands engineers used Control System Toolbox™ to further simplify the development of control algorithms and control system design.
After running simulations in Simulink to validate their system design, engineers used MATLAB® to postprocess, plot, and visualize the results.
The team then integrated hardware elements in the simulations to test the communications interfaces and to assess performance.
Engineers used Simulink Coder™ to automatically generate C code from all their models. They then ran the code in EuroSim, a real-time simulation framework developed by Airbus Defence and Space Netherlands for hardware-in-the-loop simulations. This environment served as a test bench for onboard software testing and to test failure and command scenarios for the hardware.
Mooij and his colleagues are reusing their Simulink models for additional projects, including ConeXpress, which will extend the life of fuel-depleted communication satellites by enabling spacecraft to dock with and take over the attitude and orbit control functions of the satellites.
Simplified formal review processes. "The visualization, postprocessing, and performance calculation capabilities of MATLAB are very powerful," says Mooij. "It provides a very clean interface, plots, and results that help to streamline the preliminary design review and the critical design review for ESA."
Increased code and component reuse. "Simulink helps us support our philosophy of reusing as much of our work as possible," reports Mooij. "For example, we incorporate our models for the space environment and satellite dynamics into many projects using Simulink."
Improved collaboration. "We work with Spanish, German, and British contractors that all use MathWorks tools," explains Mooij. "With this common environment, we easily plug their models into our simulator for testing."

GOP looks to expand wrongful death coverage to fetuses
Families could pursue wrongful death claims
Two Republican lawmakers have introduced a bill that would allow parents to sue if their fetuses die as a result of someone's wrongful acts, including medical malpractice.
Under current state law, dead children's families can file wrongful death claims but can't pursue such claims for the loss of fetuses during the early stages of pregnancy.
Bill co-sponsors Sen. Glenn Grothman of West Bend and Rep. Andr? Jacque of De Pere said the new law would recognize fetuses as human beings and allow families to pursue wrongful death claims if someone's actions cause a fetus' death at any point.
Democratic leaders in the Legislature did not immediately comment on the bill. Republican Gov. Scott Walker's spokesman had no immediate comment.

Do you feel like you are missing something in your life? Does your life seem shallow? Are you weary and heavy laden? Do you turn to worldly pursuits to give you purpose? Perhaps, one just wants it their own way, but Jesus challenges this attitude, comparing it to children who demand that others play their games according to their rules and pout when things don't go exactly their way. (Matthew 11:16-17)
God seeks a loving relationship with each one and gave his own Son to die on the cross to show how much He loves humans. When one repents of their sins and begins to follow Jesus, lives become balanced. There is redemption. Repentance, then redemption. A balanced life. The surprising God of Jesus Christ turns expectations upside down, breaks open hearts, and makes one see beyond themselves.
Sunday morning worship services at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Runge begin at 8:30 a.m. followed by fellowship and Adult Bible study. "Weird Animals" Vacation Bible School is July 21-25 from 9-11:30 a.m. Call 239-4311 to preregister. Kids ages 3-12 are invited to attend. You'll have a great time.

'No' vote will remain 'no' vote
To the editor:
I am writing in regards to the failure of the Edison Local School District levy. How many times do we have to vote "no" before the school district comes up with some other plan? How much money does it cost the school district to put these levies on the ballot.
I did not know we were voting on this levy again until the night before the special election, and I resent the school district sneaking it onto the ballot when they think nobody is paying attention.
I am a senior citizen. I cannot afford to pay for a school levy, and I resent being asked time and time again. I also resent those who write letters telling me what a bad person I am for not passing a school levy.
My vote was "no" and it will be "no" the next time.

Philadelphia's district attorney charged a contractor Monday with murder and manslaughter in the June building collapse that left six dead, according to multiple local media reports.
Griffin T. Campbell faces six counts of third degree murder, six counts of involuntary manslaughter and 13 counts of recklessly endangering another person in the collapse just after 10 a.m. on June 5.
Sean Benschop, 42, a crane operator at the site, has also been charged in the case.
He faces six counts of involuntary manslaughter, 13 counts of recklessly endangering another person, and one count of "risking a catastrophe," after marijuana and pain medication were found in his blood.
Benschop was allegedly working a crane to tear down a vacant building in downtown Philadelphia when a four-story wall collapsed onto a Salvation Army thrift store, causing an ominous rumble followed by panic on the streets.
Afterward, searchers climbed over shards of wood, concrete and rebar looking for survivors.
The first lawsuit against Benschop was filed that same day, by attorneys for a 54-year-old woman pulled from the rubble by a firefighter.

By Chelle Delaney: Freedom Newspapers
A Los Lunas fight promoter says he fired the shot that killed Tucumcari's Jason Pacheco on Feb. 1.
Jim Burleson, in Tucumcari for the Desert Xtreme martial-arts fight scheduled last week, said he fired his .45-caliber gun after Pacheco and others jumped him on Main Street.
Pacheco, 31, was taken to Dan Trigg Memorial Hospital, where he died several hours later.
Burleson said he has talked with the Tucumcari Police Department and state police about the shooting, but no charges have been filed.
Tucumcari Police Department officials said they could not discuss the case or Burleson's account while the case was under investigation by state police.
New Mexico State Police also said they could not discuss the case while it was under investigation.
Pacheco's wife, Melisa Pacheco, said her husband would not have attacked Burleson.
"It's so against his character," she said. "Jason wouldn't do anything like that. We're letting the police investigate. The truth will come out. I wouldn't believe anything he (Burleson) says."
Burleson said "five guys jumped me" while he was getting fight promotion materials out of the passenger side of his Lincoln Navigator, parked on Main Street.
"I didn't see them approaching," Burleson said.
Burleson said he initially "thought it was a carjacking when they were hitting me."
Of the five men, "two had guns," Burleson said. "There was no doubt they were there to kill me," he said.
Burleson said he learned later from police that it was Pacheco who was kicking him in the head, while two others were stomping on him, and two others were in front of the Navigator with guns.
"I turned around and fired my gun," Burleson said. "I later found out it was Jason Pacheco."
Burleson said, "I have no idea how many times I fired, but I know it was not more than two. And they fired back at me."
He said his pistol was in his Navigator.
Burleson said he was at a gym on Main Street to weigh in fighters for the martial-arts competition scheduled Friday. After the shooting, the competition was canceled.
Burleson said he and Pacheco "had a friendly professional rivalry. The last conversation we had was on Oct. 10, and we talked about the possibility of co-promoting an event in the future."
Randall Harris of Clovis, the Pacheco family's attorney, said he is anxiously awaiting the police investigation.
"Their investigation will take precedent over any other. I'm confident the state police will do their job and he (Burleson) will be held accountable," Harris said.

"I like to create an atmosphere of intellectual and emotional play."
Todd Van Denburg's students help with all phases of his research, from investigating the existing literature, formulating research questions, and collecting and analyzing data to writing up the results.
This opportunity to gain independent research experience as an undergraduate seems to pay off. Van Denburg has former advisees currently on the faculty of such institutions as the University of Florida, Xavier University, and Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
From his perspective, Transylvania's liberal arts curriculum gives students an advantage. Their exposure to a number of academic disciplines helps them understand that human behavior is influenced by multiple historical and cultural factors that may all affect an individual's "biological, psychological, and social/cultural levels of motivation."
In the classroom, Van Denburg likes to "create an atmosphere of intellectual and emotional play." But "play" doesn't necessarily mean only fun and games. Van Denburg maintains high expectations for his students, both in class and out of class. Through observing their classroom achievements and their campus activities, he enjoys seeing his students mature, both intellectually and emotionally, during their time at Transylvania.
In addition to his faculty responsibilities, Van Denburg maintains a small private practice, where he offers individual, couples, and family therapy. When time permits, he and his wife enjoy traveling to New York City to visit their daughter and indulge in the cultural experiences the city offers.

I haven't ever been inside a Sam's Club (can you even believe it) but we have a Walmart near-ish to us, and since I was heading there for some unrelated to this shopping, I was sure to check out the app while there.
I think that this is a fun and easy app to use, and can't wait to see where Lunchbox goes with it. I am always up for freebies, aren't you?
I am also looking forward to this being on the Android marketplace, although I was able to use it on an iPhone, but that's not my typical phone. Its got so much potential, and I think the idea of winning prizes is going to be a great draw!
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Lunchbox. Opinions are my own.

Spring into action
By Richard A. Ross
March 29, 2012 —
March 29, 2012 —
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — As unseasonably warm early spring weather gives way to a cold spell this week, spring sports teams are anticipating next week's inauguration of regular season action. Weather uncertainties aside, baseball, softball, boys and girls golf, track and field and boys tennis will get underway. While spring lacks the duration evinced by the lengthier winter sports season, it serves as the crown jewel of the athletic year, rife with riveting action. Teams, as well as individual athletes in golf and track, will look to get off to a fast start with the hope of making sectionals as an overture to even greater glory. Defending champions will look to retain their titles while others will look to dethrone them.

By Mike Linn: CNJ News Editor
Countless stories of hometown war heroes have graced the pages of newspapers across the country. News stations broadcast the coming and going of troops, their funerals and their family's joys and sorrows.
But no news service can get completely in the minds of soldiers, to tell the most intimate stories of their service in war.
That's where the National Endowment of the Arts steps in. For the first time in the history of war, the NEA is encouraging enlisted military personnel and their families to write about their wartime experiences for a project called "Operation Homecoming." An anthology of selected writings from military personnel and their families will be published in 2006, said Sally Gifford, a spokeswoman for NEA.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, the NEA will be at Cannon Air Force Base. The writing workshops and reception are open to military personnel who served after 9/11.
The project has recruited 16 published authors and novelists to teach workshops at 20 military installations nationwide.
Richard Currey, an international best-selling author and former combat medic during the Vietnam War, and Dan Rifenburgh, a published poet and soldier during the Vietnam War, will be teaching workshops at Cannon.
A part-time resident of Albuquerque, Currey said he's excited about coming to Cannon, where he hopes to hear different stories about service in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"I live in Washington D.C., and we have The Washington Post, and the above-the-fold story is always about (troops) on the ground, and they never tell the story about anybody else," he said. "We certainly don't hear much about flyers or people who are behind the lines or in support units, which can be as powerful sometimes."
The author of "Fatal Light," a bestseller about a Virginia man's experience on the "soul-searching terrain of Vietnam," Currey said he often looks to his own experiences for scenes in his novels.
When Curry was about 20, for example, he arrived on a call for medical services at a barracks at a Marine base to find a young troop dead in a closet from a heroin overdose. The experience was haunting and powerful for Currey, who wrote a fictionalized account of the event for a scene in one of his novels.
Like many fiction writers, Currey uses his own experiences in his novels. His goal for coming to Cannon is to aid airmen in getting their thoughts and experiences on paper in a way that brings the reader to the scene of the action in the minds of the airmen and their families.
"What will come out of this project has the potential to be a very powerful record of the sort we've really never had before (in any other war)," he said.
Gifford said the NEA submission deadline for the anthology is at the end March, and a wide-range of writing will be accepted, including poetry, non-fiction, short stories and journal writing.
Gifford also said content will vary widely.
"We're not judging on content," she said "whether it's a supply clerk or a spouse at home responding to the deployment of a family member."

Florence Greenberg's Musical 'Baby'
Greenberg discovers Shirelles (and herself) in '50s musical 'Baby It's You'
By Jana J. Monji 11/25/2009
Just who is Florence Greenberg and why does she deserve a play? In its world premiere at the Pasadena Playhouse, "Baby, It's You!" by Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux attempts to answer that question on many levels. The easy answer is that Greenberg discovered the first American girl rock group to have a number one Billboard single, the Shirelles.
Greenberg doesn't even warrant a Wikipedia entry, but people who know who the Shirelles were should know about her. The play takes its name from the Shirelles' 1961 hit — not their first one, but one written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David — "Baby It's You."
The Shirelles were four African-American girlfriends (Shirley Owens, Doris Coley, Beverly Lee and Addie "Micki" Harris), who became a quartet in 1958 at their New Jersey high school. They are played here by Erica Ash (Micki), Berlando Drake (Shirley), Paulette Ivory (Beverly and also as Dionne Warwick) and Crystal Starr Knighton (Doris).
In the musical, Greenberg (Meeghan Holaway) is a stay-at-home mom whose children are ready to leave the nest. She wants something more than just being a wife, something husband Bernie (Barry Pearl) can't understand. Greenberg's daughter Mary Jane (Suzanne Petrela) introduces Florence to the Shirelles as they practice the song "I Met Him on a Sunday." Florence becomes their manager and changes their name. But success initially eludes them at Florence's first label, Tiara Records, and even when they signed with Decca Records, the Shirelles fail to generate a hit.
Dropped by Decca, the quartet comes back to Greenberg who — under the label Scepter Records and now partnered with composer Luther Dixon — finally finds the Shirelles a chart-topper with "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" Along the way, Greenberg becomes more involved and savvy in the ways of the music industry and her image slowly changes. Alienated from her husband, she begins a romance with Dixon — a Jewish "white" woman with a black man at a time (late 1950s and early '60s) when some hotels and other venues still wouldn't accept "race-mixing."
The play seems at times stilted when looking at relationships, and not wholly convincing when heavy topics such as racism, infidelity and jealousy are addressed in the midst of a lighthearted musical. However, the production succeeds in vividly expressing the joy and energy of the songs and the era. Choreographed by Birgitte Mutrux correctly for the era and dressed by Lizz Wolf in progressively glamorous styles, the ensemble gives winning performances as the Shirelles and other acts of the time. Perhaps the hardest-working among the cast is Geno Henderson, who plays Jocko, Ron Isley, Chuck Jackson and Gene Chandler, but others in the troupe also play multiple roles.
Greenberg has fallen into obscurity, but she discovered the Shirelles, the Isley Brothers, the Kingsmen, Chuck Jackson and Dionne Warwick (introduced through Burt Bacharach and Hal David). This pioneering woman, who left home to go into a male-dominated industry, crossed racial lines and paved the way for the Supremes and girl groups of today, is certainly worth remembering. "Baby" is a tribute to woman power, delightfully wrapped in golden oldies, and a colorful portrait of America's music scene between 1958 and 1965 — before the British Invasion, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, transformed it. Ironically, the Beatles would perform "Baby It's You!" and record it on their 1963 album "Please, Please Me."
"Baby It's You" is presented by the Pasadena Playhouse by special arrangement with the American Pop Anthology, Jonathan Sanger, Jerry Katell, Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures and Joan Stein, in association with Universal Music Group.
"Baby It's You!" continues through Dec. 13 at the Pasadena Playhouse, 29 S. El Molino Ave., Pasadena, at 8 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 4 and 8 p.m. Saturday, and 2 and 7 p.m. Sunday. Call (626) 356-7529 or visit PasadenaPlayhouse.org.

An Indiana man's car was recently stolen. But after he learned where it ended up, he didn't want it back.
Derk West told Evansville TV station WFIE his 1993 Chrysler New Yorker had been sitting at his grandfather's home in Boonville for about a year until it was stolen three weeks ago.
According to police, the thief sold the vehicle to a 72-year-old man for $300.
But, thinking the deal was too good to be true, the man looked up the vehicle's rightful owner and gave West a call.
West told WFIE he felt the 72-year-old man needed the car more than him, so he let him keep it.
"Seventy-two years old and fixed income and stuff like that," West said. "He was out $300 and he was just really upset. I just drove the car for several years as a work car. By the time it was over, we worked it out, and I just wound up giving him the car."
Donald Grisby, the man accused of stealing and selling the car, now faces felony charges.

Cogswell College is pleased to announce that three of its students have created award-winning projects for the Adobe Youth Voices Aspire Awards, including the prestigious Adobe Youth Voices Aspire MTV Act Award.
Keep Pushing, a video written, directed and produced by José Saavedra, P.J. Poloai and Diamanté Horton, received the Gold Award in the Music Video category in the 2012 competition. Their moving narrative, Angel in my Sky, received a Gold Award in the Narrative Category of the competition. 20 20 Vision, an inspiring call-to-action music video, received the MTV Act Award and the students were flown to New York's MTV Studios in July for the official presentation. The Adobe Youth Voices Aspire Awards, introduced in 2012, is the first-ever online global youth competition from Adobe Youth Voices (AYV), the signature global philanthropy initiative of the Adobe Foundation. 2012 prize packages included Adobe software, laptops, HD camcorders and Flip Mino HD video cameras for the Club as well as a donation to the students' charity of choice.
"These young men inspire my staff and are amazing role models for the younger kids," said Peter Fortenbaugh, executive director for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Peninsula. "Their energy lifts everyone and provides leadership-by-example as they create these amazing works. José, P.J. and Diamanté remind us why we do the work we do for the Boys and Girls Club."
Saavedra, Poloai and Horton met at the Redwood City Boys & Girls Club while in middle school. The Club houses a state-of-the-art production studio and provides guidance from Adobe industry professionals who donate their time to teach audio engineering, video editing and production. The Club also provides mentors who help foster the creative process.
"Adobe Youth Voices was established to provide young people with the tools to creatively express themselves through digital media," said Miguel Salinas, program director for the Adobe Foundation. "We're thrilled that our work with organizations like the Redwood City Boys & Girls Club provides a voice for students like José, P.J. and Diamanté, and has inspired them to pursue the digital arts."
"We wrote Keep Pushing when each of us was going through hard times," Saavedra said. "We kept pushing ourselves to keep coming to the Club to write, record, and one day the video was done."
"When you can create music for the youth of today without any type of profanity, it makes you feel good," said Poloai, who says he went through some rough times in his earlier years. "I never thought I could do anything like this before until I got into the Club's studio."
Horton, who provided the voice-over narrative for Angel in My Sky, is a new, incoming student to Cogswell College and is looking forward to learning music theory and other skills alongside Poloai and Saavedra in the college's Digital Audio Technology (DAT) program.
"I know that most of our material will never be commercial because it's not gangster rap or misogynistic," Horton said. "That's alright. I don't think there's anything wrong with that other music, but it's not what we're about."

Fires in Space and Test-Tube Planets: Shuttle Science Mission Results
Fires in Space and Test-Tube Planets: Shuttle Science Mission
January 13, 1997
The results of fires in space, a planet in a test tube, and other materials studies aboard two Space Shuttle missions will be presented at the National Academy of Sciences on February 10 - 11 in Washington, D.C.
The briefing
will give top U.S. science advisors an overview of accomplishments by two
Marshall Space Flight Center missions, the second
U.S. Microgravity Laboratory (USML-2) and the third
U.S. Microgravity Platform (USMP-3). USML-2 was flown on the STS-73 mission (Oct. 20-Nov. 5, 1995),
and USMP-3 was flown on STS-75
(Feb. 22-March 9, 1996). (At left, Fred Leslie at work
inside the USML-2 module.)
This "L+1 briefing" - given about a year after a science mission ends - normally is given to NASA managers and to other scientists involved in the mission. Presentation to the greater public at the Academy indicates the growing importance of microgravity materials sciences. (At right, USMP-3 payload is readied for flight inside the Shuttle payload bay.)
USML-2 and the USMP-3 covered several basic areas of microgravity materials sciences, including:
- Fluid Physics experiments explored the behavior of fluids and their responses to different forces.
- Combustion Science experiments improved understanding of the basic combustion process and how that process is affected by gravity's effects.
- Materials Science experiments increased the understanding of relationships between the structure, properties, and processing of materials.
- Biotechnology experiments grew protein crystals of sufficient size and perfection to determine their structure and formation, and to investigate the benefits of microgravity for growing cells and tissues.
These investigations brought together government, academia, and industry researchers. USMP-3 comprised several automated experiment systems carried on a support structure in the Space Shuttle payload bay. USML-2 was conducted aboard a Spacelab module where a team of four scientists, including Dr. Fred Leslie of NASA-Marshall, conducted experiments such as the Geophysical Fluid Flow Cell which simulated the atmosphere of Jupiter and of stars.
In particular, USML-2 demonstrated that interactive science experiments between the scientists on the ground and in orbit not only is possible but highly productive. The crew performed experiments around the clock in a perfect example of interactive science in a unique laboratory environment.

I know there are other nurses out there. Where do you work? What is your specialty? How old is LO? What hours do you work?
And most importantly, how do you juggle pumping and working?
I'm Stephanie, I work in a small town hospital. I'm in OB, but I just came from 5 years of Peds/NICU in Seattle. My son is 14 months. I work three 12-hour shifts per week, nights (1900-0730).
And I am lucky--I not only get to pump when I need to (usually), I get to use the department's Symphony!!! Nice to be in OB at this time in my life.
Anyone else out there?

The debate over the fatal shooting of a car thief in East Spokane is now heating up online.
On Monday, 25-year old Brendon Kaluza-Graham was shot and killed while he stole an SUV.
The owner of that SUV, Gail Gerlach, told investigators he fired at Kaluza-Graham because he thought he pointed a weapon at him.
On Wednesday, a Spokane woman, who has been the victim of a burglary, launched a Facebook Page to show support for Gerlach.
The creator of the page has asked to remain anonymous. But, agreed to an interview as long as KXLY didn't use her name or show her face.
"I hope he understands that we are here for him, for the community," she said.
"I hope the courts realize how much they are failing us by letting these people out and what positions they are putting us in," she added.
In 24 hours, the page has received more than 200 likes.
"I feel what he did was right he protected what he needed to and if he felt like his life was in danger as well then so be it. I feel sorry for the family of the person lost but that's a consequence you face when you commit a crime," the page creator said.
Near the scene of the shooting, friends and family of Kaluza-Graham have a much different message.
"Off drugs he's a great loving, great friend," Misty Santos said.
"Umm just he was a great guy besides his addiction you know he was a very good guy," she added.
Santos was a friend of Kaluza-Graham and visited a memorial in his honor Thursday afternoon.
"I think they need to keep their comments to themselves if they didn't know him as a person," she added
Once the investigation is complete, prosecutors will decide whether or not the shooting was justified.

"Make Believe" may be the only movie a local theater has shown as part of a kids' film series that includes curse words Alive won't even print. The documentary about the world's best young magicians isn't exactly geared toward younger audiences. Like hit documentary "Spellbound," it gives us a peek into a subculture that's a bit offbeat and just as competitive as athletics.
Cameras follow six very different teens, all of whom are misfits among their classmates, as they prepare to compete in the annual World Magic Seminar for the title of Teen World Champion.
There's a pretty blonde who's been given every opportunity to train with the best. There are two American guys, as well as a pair of South Africans who've used magic as a way to avoid the crime and drugs in their neighborhood. And then there's Hiroki Hara, a teen from rural Japan who had no one nearby to teach him magic.
For these kids, magic is both an art and a job. They spend every moment practicing.
The movie nicely balances the number of magic tricks it shows with backstories that make us care about the people behind the illusions.
In "Make Believe," the real magic isn't the tricks performed on stage — it's the kids and their determination. And when it's competition time, every success and blunder touches us as we root for our favorites.

A bit of shameless self-promotion: Dr. Gorski interviewed by Point of Inquiry about Stanislaw Burzynski
Every so often, I or one of my fellow SBM bloggers, is interviewed somewhere. This time, it's my turn, and this time I was interviewed by Lindsay Beyerstein over at Point of Inquiry. In these days when credulous reporters still, in essence, do Burzynski's bidding with respect to the message he wants to get out, while Burzynski takes advantage of the desperation of patients with incurable cancers, every little bit helps to counter that message.
Hopefully that's what I've done. Please check out the interview.

Five cheetah cubs were born earlier this month at the Metro Richmond Zoo in Virginia.
The zoo announced the births and released some photos of the cubs Monday.
"The cubs, three males and two females, were born to Lana, a 4-year-old first-time mom, and Kitu, a 5-year-old first-time dad, at the zoo's new cheetah breeding center," zookeeper Jim Andelin wrote in an email. "Despite being a first-time mom, Lana has shown excellent mothering skills and the cubs are growing rapidly under her care."
Andelin called the births significant because cheetahs are endangered and their numbers "in the wild" are in drastic decline.
He said there are only 10,000 cheetahs remaining in the wild, mostly in Africa.
"Breeding cheetahs in captivity is very challenging with a very small portion of the population reproducing," Andelin said. "This birth is very significant, as it represents only the third litter born in the U.S. this year and the first ever for the Metro Richmond Zoo."
The cheetah cubs have yet to be named.
