Woo-hoo, it's December! This month is full of holiday's and I celebrate Christmas - so in the spirit of the season, this months book is holiday themed. :)
Book Blurb:
Just in time for the holidays is an absolutely delightful anthology from talented romance authors Lisa Kleypas, Lisa Cach, Claudia Dain, and Lynsay Sands.
In "I Will" by Lisa Kleypas, Andrew, Lord Drake, needs a large favor from spinster Miss Caroline Hargreaves. In danger of being cut out of his father's family will, Andrew needs to prove to his father that he has reformed his debauched ways. Towards that end, he offers to pay Caroline's brother's debts if she will pretend to be Andrew's intended. But Andrew and Caroline get caught in their own charade, with some very funny and touching results.
"Puddings, Pastries and Thou" by Lisa Cach tells a touching and amusing story about Vivian Ambrose, a poverty-stricken young woman who goes to live with some distant relations, who are quite eager to marry her off.
In "Union" by Claudia Dain, all Clarissa Walinford wants from her first season is not to marry an Englishman, to the horror of her family.
And in "All I Want" by Lyndsay Sands, Prudence desperately needs a way to stop their father's gambling which is going to land the family in debtor's prison. Could the handsome Lord Stephen help her in her difficulty?
The four stories are all set in early 1800s England, making this a real treasure for historical romance fans. Normally, anthologies are somewhat uneven in the quality of the stories. But I Wish has four heartwarming, excellently written winners that make this one a real keeper.
I hope you like this one. :) This giveaway will be quick - I'll choose a winner on Friday. Contest is open to all followers of this blog - just leave a comment and an email address. :)
Good Luck and Happy Reading. :)

Fox Sports Media Group has the rights to [the season's first] 13 races, and the news release Tuesday did not indicate which of those races will move from network television to cable.

I don't really know I feel about this, but I do know I love the picture in picture during commercials....I also heard Regis Philbin will have a program on the new network...that should be interesting.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
What did you never expect to happen but it did happen and why?
For me it's Kakashi killing Rin because I thought "why would a 13 year old kid kill his team mate?"
Naruto farting in Kiba's face.

Highly unexpected indeed
Naruto and Sasuke kiss? hahahahaha.....
um.. never expected oro to come back
Sasori having a change of heart at the end. He's the least human out of all of them and possesses the most feelings
J-man dying D:
Itachi being a good guy, I was like :whoa:
Kakashi killing rin? We do not even know why did that happen? It could be genjutsu or Rin may turn out to be a spy ,thus killing her maybe appropriate.
Obito actually turning out to be Tobi...when I first started consistently following the manga I only knew about Tobi and initially thought oh it's Obito because of the third hokage funeral when Kakashi visits the grave...but then I went back and after seeing how he was crushed said nevermind
Also, Tsunade splitting in half.... that I'd never imagine...
Jugo punching a hole through a wall that just so happens to be Oro's hideout with a scroll that magically changes the tide in the war.
nagato reviving everyone that he killed during his attack on konoha...that was truly puled out of nowhere :D
Itachi dieing to save sasuke... who the fk would do that?
i didnt expect itachi to die like that
Shizune dying so offhandedly in the Pain war.
gaara dying... again! obito wearing a zetsu suit, always thought it was a mask! or obito/tobi using izanagi against konan
Madara resurrected...
Itachi being good...
Tobi being Obito...
Quite a few.
When deidara knocked out gaara with his nano bombs and the demon didn't come out-__- plot no jutsu it clearly said when gaara is unconcious the demon is suppose to take over Thts why gaara used genjutsu on himself to knock himself out against naruto and naruto had to wake him
Tht was plot no jutsu gaara should've had the demon come out and eat deidara whole -_-
hinata saving naruto against pain

Online can be local tooDecember 05,2013
Online can be local too
Perhaps Gov. Peter Shumlin and Rep. Peter Welch should rethink when you buy online, youre not supporting Vermont. Im speaking for other enterprising Vermonters who contribute to the states economy via online merchandising.
Im a native Vermonter and film producer who proudly creates and sells state history, documentary DVDs online as www.vermontmadevideos.com.
These four-season Vermont products are made by Vermonters, about Vermonters. With the click of a TV remote, we have transported viewers through adventures and anecdotes from a variety of people ranging from former Gov. Philip Hoff to noted historians and regular everyday folks. Several hundred Vermonters have escorted viewers to places and events in 47 productions over the past decade. Though these DVDs can be purchased in some local stores, museums and appearances at local shows (we support Winooski High School Dollars For Scholars train show every year), the majority of sales now come from the website.
So, how do we contribute to the local economy and leave nearly every dollar in Vermont? Vermont-based Tamarack Media creates and maintains the website, local media specialist Paul Gittlesohn and his Videosyncracies employees author, master, duplicate and Photoshop our beautiful DVD covers and discs.
My small advertising budget has been spent on local radio, newspapers and some Vermont-themed websites. Orders ship from the local post office, and physical storefronts such as Coins & Hobbies, Rock of Ages and Vermont Historical Society carry some of our DVDs. Our video-gathering road trips support convenience stores, restaurants and overnight lodging. You get the idea. Without the web sales, this would come to an end.
Yes, Virginia, there is a local web-based Santa Claus. One does not have to possess a brick-and-mortar storefront to contribute to the states economy, and websites can be a good thing.

I am looking for a slang synonym for "civilian." The word should be one that a Chandler tough might use. 'Civy' refers to clothing, if I'm not mistaken, and is rendered plural, 'civies.' The term can be either 'period' or contemporary. I wouldn't ordinarily be averse to a stretch, in this piece, but I don't think it would work in this particular case. Thanks.

He was your typical John Doe; blue suit with brown shoes, that deer-in-the-headlights look and a wad of money in his right front pocket just waiting for some dip to go home with.

Dear IP: way back in WWII, GI's called civilians "feather merchants" taken from a comic strip of the time. I think it was the same one that had "Snuffy Smith" in it.

Faldage: isnt a John Doe just a nobody or an anybody? -- I do like the sentence. Is it yours, or did I forget?
Thanks Capfka. If I ever claim to know (typed 'no') how to spell, slap me.
wwh: I like feather merchants but Im not sure it has the punch Im looking for.
Musick: One of the Jimmys might almost work. Can one just say a Jimmy? Is it at all well known?
Jackie: Abound they may, marks schmucks and suckers, but they do it both in the service and out, no?
Thanks all.

Oh--civvies as opposed to people in the armed forces? (I didn't get the Chandler ref.) And--it has been pointed out to me that schmuck could be very offensive. If it was to anyone, I apologize. I have no acquaintance with Yiddish, really; my associations with the word come from the movie Grumpy Old Men, where it seems to be intended as about the equivalent of "idiot".

I took Rock Island's question to be not what a Chandler type character would call a non-military person as opposed to a military one, but what he would call someone outside of the law enforcer/PI vs law breaker world. Just your normal law-abiding citizen. That's where my John Doe submission was coming from. Was I wrong, RI?
And, yes, that sentence was, AFAIK, all mine.

Brennaman a household name in Reds country
VIENNA, W.Va. – The most popular member of any college or professional sports franchise isn't the manager, coach or star player.
Rather, in most cases, it is the team announcer.
He's the guy (or gal in this day and age) that fans allow into their home each evening, whether it's through the television and/or the radio.
For the past 39 years, fans of the Cincinnati Reds have treasured the melodious voice of Marty Brennaman. When Al Michaels left the Reds prior to the 1974 season, Brennaman applied to be his replacement as the team's play-by-play announcer.
It didn't take Brennaman long after he was hired to establish himself as a household name in Reds country. On his second broadcast, when the Reds recorded the final out of a victory, Brennaman closed his call of the live action with the now- famous words that have become his trademark "This one belongs to the Reds."
So does Marty Brennaman. He's belonged to the Reds for 39 years. He's had offers to go to New York, Boston, San Francisco, Chicago and dozens of other franchises in different sports. But Brennaman isn't about to leave home. He loves being the announcer of the Reds and isn't looking for any other position.
Brennaman, who will begin his 40th season as the Reds announcer when the team opens the 2013 campaign against the Los Angeles Angels in the traditional home opener on April 1, bubbles with enthusiasm when talking about the Reds. Although he is 70-years old, you would only know that by reading his resume. He has twice the energy of most men his age. His only concession to being a septuagenarian it that he now takes a few games off each year, an idea proposed to him by good friend Vin Scully, the voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who like Brennaman is a Hall of Fame announcer. Brennaman, who can spin a story with the best of them, said he ran into Scully one day and Vin asked him he many games he was doing each year. To which Brennaman replied, "All of them."
That's when Scully offered him a retort that got Brennaman to thinking.
"You don't labor under the mistaken impression," Scully said, "that they won't play if you're not there."
So Brennaman decided to take off a few road games during the season.
Although his voice is the most recognized by Reds' fans, the same can't be said for his physical presence, at least not since he cut his hair for charity last season. The Brennaman who appeared at the Grand Central Mall on Friday as part of the Reds Caravan sported short hair and him unrecognizable to several Reds supporters.
Spend five minutes with Brennaman and you will conclude he knows the game -inside and out. He especially knows the Reds and the potential that this team has in 2013. He has called the Reds winning the World Series three times -in 1975, 1976 and 1990 -and not only would love to do it again, but you can tell he believes if things go right this year, he will do it again.
This is a team with few weaknesses. It cleared up its biggest one -the lack of a leadoff hitter -by signing Shin-Soo Choo away from the Cleveland Indians, even though he is on a one-year contract. That, however, is by design. By 2014, the Reds believe that minor league phenom Billy Hamilton, who stole 155 bases, will be ready for the bigs and take off the No. 1 spot in the batting order.
"He will be a dynamic addition," said Brennaman, who indeed was a dynamic addition himself when the team had the foresight to hire him in 1974.
Brennaman said growing up he knew he wanted to be a play-by-play announcer but he didn't know where. After spending one season with the Reds, that questioned was answered and the answer remains the same today.

Beyond Non Sequitur II
There are days when you feel like you can run through walls. Everything is going your way and there is simply nothing that can slow you down.
There are other days when even making it through an automatic door is tough. For all those days, though, just be glad that this isn't you:
However, we did learn an important lesson. Always confront your problems head on. Preferably not head on glass, though.

And he even came back to the "scene of the crime"!! Glutton for punishment, eh? Well done!
OMG! Nothing ever surprises me.. I've seen some silly sh** but that is hilarious. He consults his engineering books and then plays Mountain Goat! Hayaaa! too funny. The music is sic!
So he consulted his books and the answer was multiple choice….1. – Use your head to solve problem 2 – common sense should help, if not see #1.
So he had no alternative but to use his head and good engineer would have done something else…

I had to tell that Tenace story. Dick's my man ; ) I'm pretty sure today is the 21st anniversary of Kirk Gibson's Game 1 heroics for LA. Maybe Casey Blake can make that #23 proud!
My Mid-West Capo and his Underboss are summoned onto Twitter as soon as possible to protect the Boss. My ALCS preview/prediction is posted. Things could get heavy.
I actually felt sorry for the guy! He looked so lost. But he was a typical male. You guys never ask for directions.

The specialized sport of silo ice climbing is gaining more followers at a farm in eastern Iowa.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports an iced-down silo at Rusty Leymaster's farm northwest of Cedar Falls is the largest in the Midwest.
Dozens of climbers strapped into harnesses and tried to climb the 80-foot structure on Saturday. Some enthusiasts are as young as 10 years old, and they say it's a great outdoor activity.
The sport has gained popularity over the years. It started with just a handful of people at the farm, and now has more than 300 season pass holders.
Silo ice climbing at the farm is mostly run by volunteers and University of Northern Iowa students. UNI also supplies climbing gear for newcomers.

(Almost) back from the holidays
Hi everyone. Â Tonight is our last night of holiday travels. Â I'm writing this post from the living room of my dad and stepmom's house in beautiful rural east Alabama. Â I don't have much to share, except that I did get some swell biking gear for Christmas. Â Specifically, my brother hooked me up with a totally cool Walz cycling cap. Â I've long coveted such hats, and now I have one of my own. Â Check the photo below.
Pretty swell, huh? Â I especially like the choice of grey wool with a black stripe.
We also have some Christmas cash to spend, so if I buy any more gear, I'll be sure to write about it. Â Hope your holiday was bike-tastic too. Â Leave me a comment if you scored any schwag.

August 21, 2013 —
I was nervous as Emily and I left our apartment and headed to the Union Square subway stop to catch the Q train up to the Paris Theater. We were headed to the theater under the guise of a test screening for the crime documentary I've been editing forever. I had a DVD in my backpack—along with an engagement ring.
The DVD did not have the crime documentary on it but instead had a cute little movie I made about my trip to get said engagement ring. Save for Emily and me, the theater would be empty, and when the seven-minute movie was over I was going to propose.
To be honest, the crime doc would have been more appropriate (albeit dark) than it seems, since Emily's and my first date was to the movies to see the fairly gruesome documentary "The Cove." (I still maintain that it was a perfectly reasonable first date, though Emily chides me about it.)
The engagement ring is an heirloom from Emily's Aunt Mary, which I needed to pick up from her in Cincinnati, OH. I've met her a handful of times, and she is an amazing woman. She's 98 years old but still very with it.
Having already come up with the movie-theater plan, I enlisted a dear friend, Rabi, to help record my journey. We would drive instead of fly to pick up the ring. It would be much more cinematic that way.
Avid readers may remember the joint column written with Rabi, about a road trip with fast food and arguing about writing. (Ten points to those who remember, five points to those who go read it now.) You may remember (or you will learn) that I did not reveal where we were headed or what we were doing.
Well, now you know.
Emily and I walked toward the theater. My mind obviously buzzing elsewhere, and trying my best to look normal and calm, I had run out of things to say. All I could think about was how desperately I wanted to be sitting in the theater.
"When's the last time you were up at the park?" I hear myself say.
Emily shoots me a look. "I run up here all the time."
We arrive at the Paris and swing open the heavy door.
"Are you here for the test screening?" the projectionist asks, as directed.
I nod, handing off the DVD.
"Thank you," the projectionist says, "You can have a seat inside."
We walk into the theater, empty, as planned.
"Where is everyone?" Emily says.
"I'm not sure. Maybe we are the first ones here." We sit down as the screen is revealed from behind a curtain and the lights dim.
"What's going on?" Emily asks.
"Maybe they are just going to test the DVD," I offer.
The cute little movie starts with a false beginning, building on the crime documentary screening: first a title card that says "Test Screening" and the date, then a song as a postman walks down the street.
Suddenly the music skips and the image distorts, then vanishes into silence. Then darkness. Emily says nothing.
"That's not good," I say, looking over my shoulder.
Now there's an image of a cell phone and "Aunt Mary's address." Emily looks at me and smiles.
"I'm going to make a movie of my trip for Emily, and then tell her we are going to see a different movie and surprise her with this movie," my voice echoes through the theater.
A huge Aunt Mary laughs and then says, "That's cute."
The movie climaxes with a tearjerker moment as Aunt Mary kisses the ring goodbye and ends with a fun montage of the three of us going to lunch at Skyline Chili.
And then it is over and my stomach is in nervous knots. Time is in slow motion. My mind is racing.
Why hadn't I gotten the ring out before the movie was over? And why hadn't I been paying attention when we sat down? Should I now step out into the aisle or just kneel in the row?
I take a deep breath and reach into my backpack, feeling for the ring box. I got it and kneeled down in the row.
"Will you marry me?" I say as calmly and clearly as I can.
Emily says, "yes." Thank goodness.
I slip the ring onto her finger—it fits.

By Argen Duncan: Freedom New Mexico
A former Adams State College athletic director and sporting goods salesman has become the new Eastern New Mexico University athletic director.
ENMU President Steven Gamble announced Monday that Jeff Geiser of Alamosa, Colo., had been selected to replace Mike Maguire, who is to teach physical education and raise funds for the athletic department.
Geiser said he had a tentative official start date of June 15, but he was already unofficially working to get organized.
"I believe that the Eastern situation has got great potential," he said. "There's a lot of good things happening, but there's some things in the athletic department that can be improved."
Gamble said all four finalists for the job were good candidates.
"Dr. Geiser has a lengthy resume of experience and success as both a coach and athletic director, and he rose to the top of the pool," Gamble said. "Dr. Geiser is also very familiar with the Southwest, and that was a plus for him."
Geiser's first priority upon moving to Portales is to buy ENMU apparel, followed by getting to know the athletics staff and then setting goals, he said. During those tasks, he plans to start fundraising.
By developing a strategic plan, Geiser intends to determine long- and short-term goals for the athletic program.
"If I can get that done this summer, I think that'll be a huge, huge step in the right direction," he said.
Geiser said the ENMU athletic program's strengths include student athletes who are good students and campus citizens.
Also, Geiser said the coaches, administration and support staff had a passion for athletics. The program can rise above any facilities that may not be good, he said.
"It's the people that make an institution, and I'm impressed with the people," Geiser said.
Geiser said he hopes to produce winning teams and he believes that's a realistic goal.
He said ENMU teams need to win home games because it's hard to win on the road in the Lone Star Conference.
To make improvements, Geiser said he needs support from the university and surrounding communities.
Geiser has a doctorate degree in sports administration from the University of New Mexico. He played football for the University of Colorado-Boulder.
At Adams State, Geiser served as head football coach, instructor, associate athletic director and athletic director at various times from 1984 to 2006.
After leaving Adams State, Geiser worked as a sales representative for Gilman Gear Sporting Goods. He said he is returning to the college world because sales wasn't challenging and he missed the vitality and enthusiasm of a campus.
Geiser grew up in La Veda, Colo., where he met his wife, Nancy, in first grade. The couple has two children, 23-year-old Brody and 18-year-old Caitlin.

I have been given some gorgeous fillet steak from my mother in law who works at a butchers and my partner has demanded i make stroganoff with it for tea tomorrow night.
I will be seasoning the meat with paprika, I don't think there will be any need to but the fact that it is infuriating user HV1 is reason enough! i will feed back once it has been made ( :
Made this again tonight for the first time in almost a year. It's so easy to make and most of the prep can be done earlier and kept in the fridge until you are ready to throw it all together. Added a couple of cloves of garlic at the same time as the shallots. Extra seasoning with a couple of teaspoons of paprika to personal taste. My allergy conscious daughter loved it and my husband said it was restaraunt quality! I won't leave it so long next time!!
I gave this a tweak or two but it turned out delicious.
I used sour cream as I had no creme fraiche. I seasoned the meat liberally with Paprika and I added a garlic clove to the shallots.
Really tasty, the herby pappardelle goes really well with the sauce.
Even a hit with the picky 7yr old, can't say fairer than that!
A very tasty dish but not at all what we expected. For it to taste like Stroganoff as I know it, I'd add paprika and lemon juice next time after reading some other recepies. Still very pleasant though. I'd also switch Dijon for wholegrain as it packs more of a punch. This is great if you prefer to avoid stronger flavours though.
Made this tonight for first time. Not a stroganoff fan but really enjoyed this. Added big clove of garlic to shallots. 3 teaspoons paprika (not smokey)( gradually to taste) and used 3 teaspoons whole grain mustard (gradually to taste)as had no Dijon. My big meat eating hubby said he loved it and would like to try a meat free version using mushrooms and veg (cauliflower )
4 stars
I glazed the onion then added garlic and paprika, mixed the beef with the flour and added to the pan. Once beef browned added the mushrooms, stock, English mustard and tomato purée. Cooked for good 15-20 minutes before adding in single cream (as didn't have creme fraiche), finally cooked for a further 15-20 minutes till thickened. Used basmati rice instead. Yummy recipe, thanks for inspiration.
I did not use the flour (we like a thin sauce) or the tomato puree but did add smoked paprika, garlic and some brandy. I also used some dried prochini mushrooms and used the the liquid to enrich the stock ( I used chicken not beef as I don't like beef stock, personal preference).
The result was delicious and freezing the meat before is crucial as it allows you to finely cut the beef which for flash frying is essential.
I didn't have any pappardelle but did have some fresh lasagne sheets in the freezer which I sliced to look like pappardelle and it worked. Next time I will try it with a mixture of wild rice and Basmati.
Loved it.

- Abstract
- The direct intensity modulation response of quantum cascade lasers can be accurately calculated from a three-level model. However, the calculations are algebraically complex. An alternative two-level model gives simpler expressions and more readily provides insight into the role of parameters influencing the modulation response. The object of this paper is to improve the two-level model and analyze the direct intensity modulation response. The modified model will simplify theoretical investigation of modulation related phenomena.

NEWS-LEDGER EDITORIAL, April 18
[adrotate group="7″] EDITORIAL: from the News-Ledger, April 18, 2012 —
The mayor's recap of West Sacramento's 25-year history as a city during last week's "State of the City" address brought back some fond memories.
Mayor Christopher Cabaldon noted that one of the things that delayed the creation of this city was a level of distrust between its neighborhoods. This distrust was a factor in the failure of a couple of prior attempts to create a city here.
Missing from the mayor's address, though, was any mention of another element that complicated both the 1986 incorporation effort and the early years of West Sacramento: the influence of developers. Property developers hoping to earn a nice living off all that undeveloped real estate here in "East Yolo" joined citizens concerned about crime and the lack of shopping opportunities in campaigning for cityhood in 1986. They won.
And the city eventually made a lot of progress in improving public safety and creating retail shopping.
But the developers and land speculators also got a lot of what they wanted, and had an undue influence over the early West Sacramento city council. Any retrospective on these early years needs to note the city's tension over development issues.
The News-Ledger doesn't know for sure that this is a growing problem. But a look over our "Police Log" in recent weeks seems to show something alarming:
There has been an apparent small rash of home burglaries committed while a resident was home and asleep inside. This kind of brazen break-in has occurred on Buckeye Drive, Fremont Boulevard and Meadow Road. In a couple of cases, the thief has taken car keys along with other things from inside, and then stolen a parked car from outside.
Burglaries of vacant homes are more common. But it's easy to see the potential for something to go horribly wrong when thieves are breaking into a home while somebody is inside.
[adrotate group="10″] When West Sacramento planned its West Capitol Avenue streetfront improvements, it needed to buy some small strips of property along edges of some privately-held land. Some property owners negotiated as hard as they could to get the best possible price.
At least one – the "City of Dharma Realm" Buddhist monastery at West Capitol Avenue, simply gave the needed square feet to West Sacramento's taxpayers. That's something you don't see very often.
So it's especially painful to see that the institution has been plagued by a lengthy serious of petty crimes and break-ins. Let's all keep an eye out for them.

Red Mustang: impersonating cop car?
On our 'Police Log' page, the News-Ledger reported yesterday an incident involving a woman who said she was pulled over by someone who may have been impersonating a patrol car.
The 29-year old woman said that around 12:20 a.m. on Sunday morning, a red Mustang with lights and a possible siren tried to pull her over near Marshall Road and Golden Gate Drive. The driver of the Mustang pulled out from behind her and drove away — perhaps realizing she had other people in the car with her.
Police judged her account as being one of "impersonating a police officer" and "false imprisonment."
[adrotate group="10″] Today, the West Sacramento Police Department said it was looking for a suspect in the case. Sergeant Nathan Steele said the suspect vehicle may be a red, mid-2000s Ford Mustang "with a red and blue flashing light and siren." He said the incident occurred in the area of Promenade and Southport Parkway.
"The police department is requesting the public's assistance with anyone having information in regards to this vehicle," added Steele in a press release. "We would also like to remind the public that if they are stopped by a vehicle and you are uncertain it is a police officer you may slowly proceed to a well lit and public location while calling police dispatch."
Anyone with information is asked to call police dispatch, (916) 375-6474.

'Confessions of a reluctant mouse-assassin'
I was talking to a friend the other day about my hope of taking a little weekend trip this spring out into the Southern California desert, the goal being to spend at least one night sleeping out under a blanket of stars.
"Don't they have rattlesnakes out there?" my friend asked with concern.
"Well," I explained, "I plan on sleeping in the bed of my pickup truck and rattlesnakes are more into slithering than climbing. But if I do use a tent, I've already promised my daughter that I will make sure it's hermetically sealed."
"I hate snakes," said my friend. "The only good thing about them is that they eat mice, which I hate even more than snakes."
"Why is that?" I asked with interest.
"Well, I guess it started back when I was teaching and the teacher I shared my room with was always leaving boxes of sugary cereal around, which he loved to snack on. So of course it wasn't long before there were mice everywhere, including running back and forth under my desk while I was sitting in it.
"But I have a more recent example for you from just last week. I was sitting very quietly in my living room, no loud and obnoxious reality TV shows on, no music playing in the background, and I had even turned my cell phone off because sometimes I just need to completely decompress after a noisy and much too busy day at the office. Then, with the whole house wonderfully still, all of a sudden I heard the patter of little feet up in the attic.
"My husband was out of town, but men are never there when you need them anyway. I immediately knew what the problem was because we have had it in the past. So I very reluctantly got up off my very comfortable couch and went out into the cold garage in search of some of those newish kind of mouse traps which are very easy to set that my husband had purchased the last time we had mice in the house. When I finally found them, I baited two with some very enticing extra-crunchy peanut butter, which I've been told mice will kill for – or rather be killed for.
[adrotate group="7″] "Then, also very reluctantly, off to the attic I went. But having no interest whatsoever in seeing – much less confronting – a live mouse, I slowly shoved the baited traps just inside the attic door and scampered back down the stairs. It wasn't the best night's sleep I've ever had, since no one wants to think of themselves as an assassin, even if it's just vermin you're sending to the other side. So I was in no hurry the next morning to go up to the attic to see how things had turned out. But since I had to get some Easter decorations down from there, I had no choice. And sure enough, there were two squished mice, with their lifeless eyes staring up at me.
"I simply couldn't deal with it at that moment, so I left everything untouched and got ready for work. But once at work, I made the very big mistake of telling a co-worker about my ordeal, only to find out she is a vegetarian, which to her apparently means all vermin should be treated kindly and shooed out of the house with happy wishes. Maybe she thought Cinderella's dress-making was going on in my attic or something, but she was very unhappy with me. Plus she kind of hinted around that I could have at least removed the poor mice from the terrible devices which had killed them and given them a decent burial.
"Anyway, later that night I dressed for the mission. Along with a baseball cap to hold my hair back in a tight ponytail, I put on a leather jacket, my hiking boots, and rubber gloves, the goal being to carefully protect myself against any grieving or angry mouse relatives or friends I might encounter. I also put on sunglasses, even though it was dark out and I was indoors, so that I couldn't see any of the messy details. Unfortunately, I immediately saw details, and one of the dead mice looked suspiciously like a lactating female, which meant I had probably destroyed a perfectly happy family. It also meant that I would probably have to soon return with more traps to snuff out the babies.
"I was beginning to feel like a mass murderer. Plus the hard part was still ahead – getting the corpses out of my attic. I had a shovel with me, but that was mostly in case any other mice tried to rush me. To actually pick up the dead mice, I used two long corn tongs, and the whole time I was doing it, a scream kept building up in the back of my throat. Then I had to get them – and the corn tongs that of course could never be used again – into a plastic bag, which I finally managed to do.
[adrotate group="10″] "I triple-bagged everything, raced down the stairs and into the backyard, and dropped the whole awful mess into the garbage can. Then I let out the scream I had been holding inside for fifteen minutes, only to scare the bejesus out of my poor neighbors."
"That's quite a story!" I told my friend, who still appeared to be quite shaken even though the events she had described in such detail had happened over a week ago.
"So," I asked, "have you heard any more mice up in your attic?"
"No, not yet. But my husband thinks we should get a cat."
"Now that's a good idea."
"But I'm allergic to cats. I guess it would probably be okay if the cat was only around for a few days every now and then. Do you know any place that rents cats?"

18 arrests in gang/drug operation
The office of Attorney General Kamala D. Harris announced today the conclusion of an operation combating gangs and narcotics trafficking in the West Sacramento, Sacramento and Roseville areas.
[adrotate group="7″] Over 100 law enforcement officers participated through the Yolo County Narcotics Enforcement Team (YONET) — a coalition led by the state department of justice and which includes the West Sacramento Police Department and other Yolo-area agencies.
"The investigation resulted in 18 arrests, four guns, body armor, a stun gun, and drugs," said a press release from Harris's office. "Everyone arrested will be booked into Yolo County Jail."
In West Sacramento, the operation was called "Operation Red Sash," "because of the Northern Riders and Broderick Boys criminal street gang affiliation with the color red and Nortenos street gang," the news release added. The operation "targeted mid-level to high-level members who were distributors of illegal narcotics."
Arrests were made for felony charges related to narcotics trafficking, conspiracy to traffic, and participation in a street gang.
"Today's operation will cripple these street gangs and their criminal enterprise network," said Harris's office.
No details were provided on the identification of those arrested.
The operation began in November, said the attorney general's office.

It appears I have a blcoked duct again. I am at work right now. Is there anything I can do while here to get it to unblock.hurt less?
Oh ouch! Can you fit some extra pumping into your workday today -- just on the affected breast. See if you can improvise a moist heat pack -- wet a towel with warm water, or wet it and warm it in the microwave (be careful, it can burn you!), and apply it to the area of the blocked duct for a few minutes every hour or two. Massage.
Go home early if you can manage it and nurse nurse nurse tonight.
You've had this before? Let's think about underlying issues that might be causing chronic blocked ducts. A poorly fitted bra? Any history of latch problems? Try adding some lecithin to your diet (available at health food stores).
I hope others will add their suggestions and encouragement.
I found that taking a nice warm shower worked great. Let the warm water just run on the affected breast. While the water is running, massage your breast from top to nipple --- imagine that you are pushing the plug out. Someone suggested to me using a comb and gently combing it out.
The gerber soothies work great too. Just leave one on when you aren't nursing. (or rice in a sock.)
I hope that you feel better soon. Plugged ducts stink. Just take care so it doesn't take a turn for the worse!
Pump and nurse through it.

I hope this is the right place for this post.
I Private messaged most of you about getting together from time to time like a BF support group. I would really like to get something going with a couple of moms in my area. I spoke to a Lactation Nurse on Friday and she suggested getting inrolled in a BF Support group to get over my fear of NIP. She also said it would benifit to have local moms to call if any of us ever needed help. I looked up LLL (thus how I found this wonderful site) and all I could find in my area was monthly LLL meetings but most of the meetings had nothing to do with what I need. IE Pregnancy:Preparing for Nursing-Im already Nursing. Tandum Nursing-Im only nursing one. So these meetings dont help me. Maybe you guys know of a support group already in progress. If so PLEASE refer me!

I am trying to relactate and was unsuccessful with the herbal side of the house, so I went to my doctor and got Reglan. She says it is a one shot thing, so if it doesn't work, then it wasn't meant to be.....with that, my pump just isn't up to par for the work that needs to be done. My OB said that I needed more or less, an industrial strength one, to "suck me dry". Hahaha
Soooo, I need to know what is a recommended, industrial strength pump to get to try to get this ball rolling. I have been able to "milk" myself and have gotten more out then I have with my pump the past 6 weeks, so I am thinking that the Reglan is working. Now I just need to get a better pump. I don't want to rent, I would prefer to buy.
Any help would be great, thanks in advance.


text: I am confused about this postion. Every picture I see, the baby's nose is aimed toward the breast and books say that the baby and mother make eye contact when the baby is latched on correctly...how do you do this with a nursing pillow? When I (try) to use a nursing pillow, he is sideways with his nose pointing toward my side and I can see one eye

La Crosse police say a disorderly conduct charge is pending against a West Salem man who pulled a tooth from the mouth of a 9-year-old boy. Police say the man was drunk.
The La Crosse Tribune reports the child and his mother were outside Jules Coffee House on Sunday night when the man approached and asked the boy what was wrong with his tooth.
Police reports say the child flashed his loose tooth and the man flicked it. The boy's mouth filled with blood. He told police it hurt and he cried because he was scared.
The man allegedly told police he had permission to pull the tooth, and said he knew what he was doing because his father and grandfather were dentists.

Bundled Payments Come to Cancer Care
This article appears in the January/February 2013 issue of HealthLeaders magazine.
When UnitedHealthcare first met two years ago with five oncology medical groups that volunteered to participate in a bundled payment program designed to reduce costs for cancer care, there was definitely uncertainty, but "nobody came into this kicking and screaming," says Lee Newcomer, MD, an oncologist and vice president of oncology for UnitedHealthcare, a Minnetonka, Minn.-based health benefits company with 2012 revenues (through September 30) of nearly $77 billion and earnings from operations exceeding $6 billion.
"Everyone knew the world of healthcare had to change," Newcomer says. "Everyone was eager to try something new."
Their target: to evaluate 19 clinical scenarios for breast, colon, and lung cancer and identify the best practices for the care of those patients. Each group selected the chemotherapy it believed was the best and agreed to participate in measurement of those results.
As the five physician groups evaluated their chemotherapy selections for early-stage breast cancer, the cost of treatment proposed varied greatly, Newcomer says. There was also a wide variation in the number of imaging tests physicians believed they needed to evaluate relapsed patients with breast, colon, or lung cancer.
"Clearly some groups are doing far more radiology studies than others and getting the same results," Newcomer says. UnitedHealthcare and the physicians worked on "standardizing the tests to decrease utilization."
As time went on, the physicians and insurer worked to minimize variations of care, reaching agreements for breast, colon, and lung cancers. Physicians receive an up-front payment for the episode that is equal to the drug margins they used to receive from their previous fee schedule. Fee-for-service vanished, but the drugs are always reimbursed at cost, even if changes are made. It was only November 2010, and UnitedHealthcare was testing the bundled episode payment approach with five medical oncology groups for more than 430 patients.
Bundling is one of the new payment models being scrutinized across the country as a way to get a handle on skyrocketing service line costs, including those for oncology programs. These models, which include accountable care organizations, have a twist: Providers and insurers are teaming up instead of facing off. Under the bundling initiatives, payments are made for multiple services under what is termed an episode of care for a patient. Instead of a surgical procedure generating multiple claims from many providers, the entire team is compensated with a bundled payment with the thought that such a move would provide incentives for more efficient care. Medicare now makes separate payments to providers for services, leading to what CMS has called "fragmented care" with minimal coordination.
Under a bundled savings program, there is an incentive for providers to share in any savings, and it can increase physicians' payments with improved patient outcomes. Physicians "have the opportunity to be paid more for the work they do taking care of patients," Newcomer says. In addition, he says physicians have a "chance to mold and influence a new payment model."
Establishing the bundling program is a complicated structure, and UnitedHealthcare learned a lesson the hard way. While the insurance leaders believed they could quickly tally outcome measures, it didn't turn out that way. "It takes a large number of patients to identify a statistical difference," Newcomer says, referring to oncology patients whose treatment costs were included in the bundling. "Cancer costs can vary by 100% routinely, and detecting a difference among those wide swings means that we needed nearly 700 patients before we could begin the analysis," he adds.
The Northwest Georgia Oncology Centers physicians are among the groups working with UnitedHealthcare on the episode of care payment plan, says Bruce J. Gould, MD, medical director of the organization, which has 10 treatment centers and more than 20 physicians; he also is a staff physician at WellStar Kennestone Hospital in Marietta, Ga. Gould acknowledges that there are risks involved for physicians in the bundling package.

Ok ladies,
I've asked her pediatrician and she gives me limited responses. My problems.
1.) She ONLY breastfeeds.. and I literally mean only breastfeeds.
2.) She won't take bottles, cups, sippy cups, or pacifiers.
3.) She is 10 months old
Ok so I'm just basically worried. I would LOVE to just keep breastfeeding forever since I'm a single stay at home mom with nothing to do all day but spend time with my angel but I'm worried that she can't live off this sole nutrition for too long. I've heard of mothers that only give there babies breastmilk for up to 2 years. But I use to think that wasn't possible nor was it healthy. Everyone tells me that it will pass. And to keep trying with the baby foods and cups of water or breastmilk but she won't take it. Is this normal let all ok?? If anyone could please help me out. I would very much appreciate it.
Mommy of my 10 month old angel.. ~*~Miss Angelina Gabrielle~*~

When Arthur Waugh won the Newdigate Prize for poetry in 1888, he broke with the family tradition of working in medicine, but created a new trade for the Waughs that continues to today: writing. His two sons, Alec and Evelyn, both followed in his profession and, like so many other sons, faced accusations of preference because of who their father was. Their sibling rivalry was formed by Arthur's clear favouritism towards Alec, but Evelyn emerged to become one of the greatest novelists of the twentieth century. Evelyn's son Auberon also struggled to emerge from his father's shadow, and developed a career as one of Britain's best-loved and most original columnists. Now his son, Alexander, has taken up the baton. This is the story of four generations of a brilliant family, all of whom have written about their relationships with their fathers and sons. It is also a book that reveals much about the nature of how any family copes with its own rivalry.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Alexander Waugh is the grandson of Evelyn Waugh and son of columnist Auberon Waugh and novelist Teresa Waugh. The former chief Opera Critic at both the Mall on Sunday and the London Evening Standard, he is also a publisher (Travelman Publishing), cartoonist and award-winning composer.

Raising Rabbits to Survive – Discount deal
Our friend Tiffany was in a car accident. To raise funds to pay bills, she's discounting her ebook on raising rabbits from $19.97 to $12.97
Get a good deal, and please help her out.
Dear Steve,
As you may have heard, my family and I were recently involved in a rather bad car accident. While we are all "okay" and were able to walk away from the accident, I am still feeling quite a bit of pain and discomfort thanks to a broken arm and 8 broken ribs. Let me tell you now, when I do something, I do it right and a bit over the top. Thankfully my husband and 18 month old daughter walked away without any scratches at all.
Our SUV was t-boned by another car traveling 90mph as we crossed an intersection. After flipping once or twice, there's really not much left to salvage on a car. Naturally, our SUV was fully insured — but you just can't begin to imagine how many people want to stick their hands in your pocket after an accident. Medical bills, insurance deductibles, co-pays and lawyers…if they can profit from it, they'll show up at your door.
As you might imagine, these expenses were definitely not part of the family budget. And that's exactly why I'm writing you today.
Normally I don't like to run special promotions, especially since the second edition of Raising Rabbits to Survive (which was massively more robust and comprehensive than the first) was only launched in March.
I haven't increased the price of the package since the launch of the first edition (even though I added an entirely new volume of over 800 breeders and almost doubled the size of the original version of Raising Rabbits to Survive) because I wanted everyone to continue to have access to this powerful content that will literally allow you to grow all the meat you need in your own back yard. But before the accident, we were in fact discussing the option of raising prices for the package.
But desperate times call for desperate measures. And for the next 3 days only, I will be offering the complete Raising Rabbits to Survive ebook package for only $12.97. That's 35% off the current price. And, as always, all future editions of this ebook package are absolutely free – just like for the hundreds of people who received the second edition of this ebook packaged delivered to their email inbox absolutely free when I released the second editions.
You might wonder why I'm doing this now, when I'll be losing out on a lot of money by offering this discount. But I need the cash now to get the bills paid so I'm willing to take a hit. Plus I really want you to be able to experience the freedom that comes with learning how to raise your own food and find out just how easy it is to raise meat rabbits.
The sale is over, but this is still a good deal at $19.95 …..
Click here to view more details
This promotion won't last – After Thursday July 1st at 6pm Eastern Standard Time prices will return to the normal level of $19.97. As I mentioned before, I really don't like to do promotions and this situation is special – so don't expect this offer to come back around. After all, I most certainly don't hope to be in another car wreck – EVER.
Have a great week!

Berlin ambulance contract is a plum up for grabs
Stefan Hard / Staff File Photo Barre Town Emergency Medical Services and Northfield rescue personnel work at the scene of an accident in 2003 on Route 12 in West Berlin.
BERLIN The field of potential suitors for Berlins ambulance business might be growing as town officials await responses to their recent request for proposals.
Bethel-based White River Valley Ambulance Inc. is said to have expressed interest in providing paramedic-level service to the vast majority of Berlin as next weeks deadline for submitting multiyear proposals approaches.
Attempts to reach WRVA Operations Supervisor Pat Edwards were unsuccessful Monday.
The nonprofit organization serves Barnard, Bethel, Braintree, Brookfield, East Granville, Pittsfield, Randolph and Stockbridge. However, if it is serious about adding Berlin to that list, it can expect some competition.
Barre Town Emergency Medical Services has held the ambulance contract with Berlin since 1996 and is eager to keep a coveted customer that is home to Central Vermont Medical Center and two nearby nursing homes.
Though Riverton is served under a separate contract with neighboring Northfield, the balance of Berlin generated 1,780 calls for service, including 550 emergencies and 1,230 non-emergencies during the fiscal year that ended June 30. Many of the non-emergency calls involved billable transfers of CVMC patients or nursing home residents.
Thats what makes Berlin more lucrative than most comparably sized communities, and its why others have tried to pry its ambulance business away from the Barre Town service.
Berlin officials have welcomed that competition and are hoping it continues, right up to the deadline for proposals at noon on Monday.
It probably will.
Representatives of the Berlin Volunteer Fire Department have said they plan to renew their pitch to provide round-the-clock ambulance coverage for the community. They submitted a similar proposal three years ago and remain interested in expanding the services they provide Berlin residents.
That interest is reflected in a revived Town Meeting Day request for $180,000 in additional funding needed to establish continuous in-station staffing at the Four Corners Station by creating a stipend program for members of the department.
At least one other established ambulance service is seriously considering submitting a proposal.
Although officials in Montpelier have all but ruled out responding to Berlins request for proposals, their counterparts in Barre have not.
Barre made its own play for the Berlin contract in 2009 and again in 2010. City Manager Steve Mackenzie said he was scheduled to discuss the possibility of submitting yet another proposal with Chief Tim Bombardier today.
We are looking into it, Mackenzie said Monday. We havent made a firm decision.
Berlin officials are interested in another multiyear contract and have reserved the right to reject any and all proposals.

Flying Too Close to the Sun
But, too much confidence can be deadly.
To Red Sox Nation, who declared the season over before it even started, this message couldn't be more true.
Or how about Charlie Sheen and his self-destructing, bridge-burning rampage against all-things reasonable? Couldn't he have boned some pornstar chicks AND STILL gotten to work on time?
And to the US American electorate who expected the Obama administration to clap its hands and make 8 years of mess magically disappear, do you not understand that these things take time? That a Mitt Romney or Michelle Bachmann led fascist regime is not the answer? That political infrastructures aren't as simple as iPhone apps or ordering chicken fried rice from your local Chinese joint?
Confidence is a good thing.
But, too much confidence can be deadly.
Just ask Mike Leake about his confidence in the good ole five-finger discount.
Hate me 'cuz I say what you're thinking, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

It's easy to get wrapped up in the shoplifting portion of the Mike Leake saga. However, I am MOST interested to see the actual six shirts, worth less than $60, that Mr. Leake was interested in, uh, acquiring from Macys.
What kind of shirt does a pro athlete want to wear, that costs less than $10? A Pujols Cardinals jersey? Where's the Beef shirt? Cubs World Series Champions shirt? Alf t-shirt?
Rob — Hehe… if I see some Cubs WS shirts, I'm stealin' them myself and they're going straight into the fireplace😉
Regarding Charlie Sheen – No. Apparently, it's a little known fact that pornstar chicks mess with your alarm clock once you fall asleep.
Regarding the economy – Eight years is being kind. Eight years thoroughly cemented the problems and saw the complete failure of all parties involved to do anything to regulate the situation. However, the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act and the initial government push for financial avenues that would make it possible for "everyone" to own a home took place under Clinton. That was the beginning and, whatever the Obama administration does or does not do now, the end is still pretty darned far away…but enough of me being cheerful about the economy.😉
Premature….declarations….are a fabric of baseball. They're embarrassing, but give us stuff to goof on. See Kay, Michael; and Ortiz, Eric.
Interestingly dueling fools from YES and NESN. Appropriate.
Kristen — The interns did some homework and tell me you're right on track… in the meantime, my worries are more about another possible change in the way of the crazy train delusionoids taking over. You know the drill😉
Prince — Please… no Michael Kay. His voice is like kryptonite on my ears.
Jane — I remember the Reardon story… so strange!
That Leake shoplifting thing was weird. I remember when Jeff Reardon (this was years ago) was arrested for shoplifting in Florida. I guess it's a Winona Ryder disease.
