VP: Complex and hard' for Chavez after surgeryBy FABIOLA SANCHEZ and IAN JAMES
The Associated Press | December 13,2012AP PHOTO
A person holds up images of Venezuelas President Hugo, right, and Venezuelas independence hero Simon Bolivar as people gather to pray for Chavez at Simon Bolivar square in Caracas, Venezuela, Tuesday.CARACAS, Venezuela Venezuelas vice president said Wednesday that President Hugo Chavez will face a complex and hard process after undergoing his fourth cancer-related operation in Cuba.
Vice President Nicolas Maduro made the announcement a day after Chavezs surgery, appearing on television with a sad expression, alongside other top allies of the president.
It was a complex, difficult, delicate operation, Maduro said, indicating the post-operative process is also going to be a complex and hard process.
The vice president, whom Chavez named over the weekend as his chosen political heir, was flanked by National Assembly President Diosdado Cabello and Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez, who had accompanied the president in Havana during the surgery.
Maduro said Cabello and Ramirez had returned to Caracas about 3 a.m. and that they had talked about the situation until daybreak. Maduros voice was hoarse and cracked at times.
Without giving details, Maduro reiterated Chavezs recent remarks that the surgery presented risks and that people should be prepared for any difficult scenarios, which can be faced only with the unity of the people. Still, Maduro expressed optimism Chavez would return home.
Were more united than ever, Maduro said, while Cabello and Ramirez stood solemnly. Were united in loyalty to Chavez.
The vice president criticized the opposition, accusing it of using Chavezs illness to attack him. Some political adversaries have said the president should be more forthcoming about details of his pelvic cancer.
Maduro had said on Tuesday night that the operation concluded successfully after more than six hours and that Chavez was to begin special treatments, which he didnt specify. Chavezs children and grandchildren accompanied him in Havana during the surgery, the vice president said.
The morning after Chavezs operation, Venezuelan state television showed a Mass where the presidents supporters prayed for him.
Chavez announced over the weekend that he needed to have surgery again after tests showed some malignant cells had reappeared in the same area of his pelvic region where tumors were previously removed.
He also said on Saturday for the first time that if illness cuts short his presidency, Maduro should take his place and be elected president to continue on with his socialist movement.
The 58-year-old president won re-election in October and is due to be sworn in for a new six-year term on Jan. 10. If Chavez were to die, the constitution says that new elections should be called and held within 30 days.
Throughout his nearly 14-year-old presidency, Chavez has been loved by some Venezuelans and reviled by others as he has nationalized companies, crusaded against U.S. influence and labeled his enemies oligarchs and squalid ones.
On the streets of Caracas this week, Venezuelans on both sides of the countrys deep political divide voiced concerns about Chavezs condition and what might happen if he doesnt survive.
Some Chavez supporters said they find it hard to think about losing the president and are worried about the future.
Others Venezuelans said that while theyre sorry about Chavezs health and wish him the best, it isnt a particular concern for them. Many were out buying Christmas gifts and food as they prepared for the holiday season.
The truth is that I have not paid much attention to the news. I just know the president is very sick and he went to Cuba for an operation, said Gabriela Hernandez, a nurse and opposition supporter. I hope that he can get better. ... I dont wish for misfortune for anybody.
Some also expressed concern about the possibility of political upheaval if Chavez doesnt survive.
Many people dont dare to say it, but they want Chavezs death, said Omar Mendez, a shopkeeper who said he doesnt support Chavez or the opposition. I would say something to those people: They should think hard about the consequences if Chavez does not survive this terrible illness because Chavezs death could bring about an unprecedented political crisis.
Analysts say Maduro could eventually face challenges in trying to hold together the presidents diverse Chavismo movement, which includes groups from radical leftists to moderates, as well as military factions.
Maduro is considered to be a member of radical left wing of Chavezs movement that is closely aligned with Cubas communist government.
Chavez first announced he had been diagnosed with cancer in June 2011. He underwent a surgery for a pelvic abscess, and then had a baseball-sized tumor removed. In February, he underwent another surgery when a tumor reappeared in the same area.
He has also undergone months of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Throughout his treatments in Cuba, Chavez has kept secret some details of his illness, including the exact location and type of the tumors.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

Resolving Quarrels
Disagreements and grievances are normal in any relationship, whether it's between a mom and dad, or between two nations or peoples. All too often, though, they get out of hand, leading to hurt feelings, anger, and lashing out.
Your best chance of resolving a quarrel is to do the four things below, even if you just do them yourself. If your partner participates, all the better! But waiting for the other person to do the right thing only leads to gridlock - so your best bet is to take steps yourself, unilaterally if necessary, because that is the best way to evoke good behavior from the other person, take his issues with you off the table, and let you take your stand on the high moral ground.
Protect yourself
Assert your needs
Then find ways to tell him what you want (while reminding yourself that what you want is legitimate!), such as in ordinary conversation, or by writing a note, leaving a message at work, talking in a neutral place like a restaurant, or involving a third party like a mutual friend, a minister, or a therapist. Stay on your topic and agree to address his issues later. Do not muddy the water by bringing in unrelated grievances, getting overly emotional, or overwhelming him with words. Be direct, succinct, matter of fact, and self-controlled.
Use genuine humor and warmth to lift the mood. Build on any positive moves he makes by being positive yourself and acknowledging progress toward getting what you want. State your understanding of how you each are saying things will be from now on; write them down if that's clarifying.

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - November 30, 2016) - SOLV®, a division of Swinerton Renewable Energy, has been named the #1 Affiliated Service Provider (ASP) in the global operations & maintenance (O&M) market according to a new report by GTM Research and SoliChamba Consulting.
In their report, Global Megawatt-Scale PV O&M and Asset Management 2016-2021, GTM Research and SoliChamba analyzed 66 companies across 14 markets, segmenting O&M vendors into six categories: Independent Service Providers (ISPs); Affiliated Service Providers; Developers, EPCs, integrated firms; Financial investors, funds, yieldcos; IPPs and utilities; and Inverter OEMs. The report is further segmented geographically, classifying vendors as either local or global providers.
SOLV currently manages 3.25 GW of PV assets and is ranked #2 among O&M vendors globally in any category (outside of China) and #1 in the ASP category. In the report, SOLV is classified as a local provider that focuses on megawatt PV assets in the United States. In 2016, SOLV recorded the greatest total growth, adding 1.25 GW of PV assets to its total fleet. Only one company, which diversifies its portfolio across multiple continents, currently operates a larger total fleet than SOLV.
SOLV provides O&M services to both affiliated and third-party plants as a division of utility-scale solar EPC, Swinerton Renewable Energy (SRE). SOLV was developed to provide a comprehensive solution to SRE's existing renewable energy clients, but quickly evolved into a nationally-recognized O&M provider for externally-built plants in addition to those constructed by SRE. Today SOLV's portfolio consists of over 50 percent of third-party PV assets.
"As an affiliated O&M service provider, SOLV is in the unique position to offer customers of third party-built PV sites the same level of service as our internal clients, accessing and utilizing data which provides efficiencies that drive down price and maximize revenue," said Reegan Moen, Business Development Manager for SOLV. "Our soon-to-be operating medium-impact, NERC-compliant NOC will offer 24/7 monitoring for wind and solar sites, ever expanding our capabilities."
According to the report, the global O&M market will reach 182 GW by the end of 2016, up from 133 GW in 2015. This growth represents a 54 percent increase in deployments over last year, driven by larger plant sizes in new construction markets like the U.S. Looking ahead, the report estimates that the global market for O&M services will reach 439 GW by the end of 2021.
About SOLV®
SOLV brings unmatched value to our renewable energy clients. Our EPC experience taught us that a complete solution was needed. SOLV evolved into providing the best service for our customers. SOLV is backed by Swinerton Builders, a 125+ year-old construction company. The SOLV solution includes SMART monitoring, data analytics, asset management support, in-field technicians and SCADA platforms providing the best optimization and management solution.
Our national in-house SOLV Team configures a custom energy plan, analyzes vitals detecting the smallest concerns, and diagnoses plant issues in order to respond with SMARTer solutions. SOLV performance engineers and operations network staff continually monitor owners' facilities, all with pinpoint accuracy. Plant performance anomalies and system concerns are evaluated in minutes prior to service call deployment.

UNC Faculty to Receive More than $2.1 Million in Funding to Prepare Educators
- published_in
- Today's News
Associate Professor Paula Conroy will lead a program to prepare teachers of students with visual impairments and orientation and mobility, while Professor John Luckner will direct a separate project to prepare teachers of students who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Conroy's project, titled "Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments and Orientation and Mobility Instructors: Personnel Preparation to Meet the Needs of Diverse Learners," will provide specialized training to improve skills of up to 10 beginning teachers annually. The online program will lead to a credential as a Certified Orientation and Mobility Specialist from the Academy for Certification of Vision Rehabilitation and Education Professionals in addition to a teacher educator license from most states, including Colorado. The project was awarded $247,503 for the first year, with anticipated funding totaling $1,244,128 over five years. The project is fully funded by the U.S. Department of Education. Other UNC faculty working on the project include Silvia Correa-Torres, Kay Ferrell and Madeline Milian.
Luckner's project, "ACCESS4ALL: A Western Regional Training Program to Prepare Teachers of Students who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing," will address critical needs in the field. That includes increasing the number of and improving the quality of teachers of students who are deaf or hard of hearing. Forty teacher candidates will be selected to enroll in the nationally approved, four-year program that will be delivered online.

This is actually an old review I wrote in 2004 for the release of this album... I went on to fix a couple of spelling mistakes in it yesterday and it popped up as a new review. I have no idea why

The Future of Recorded Music - Part 5
In part one we asked if the compact disc was dead. Here we offer a timeline of the Compact Disc's history - and prehistory - from 180 years ago to the present.
The 1800s
The Big Bang? Beethoven! In a way, it all begins with his Symphony No. 9 (see 1979).
French mathematician Augustin-Louis Cauchy proposes a sampling theorem that converts a signal into a numerical sequence.
Thomas Edison invents the wax-cylinder phonograph. Finally, a use for album-cover art.

"All heretics wish to be styled Catholic, yet if anyone asks them where is the Catholic place of worship none would venture to point out his own."

Tommy Reyes has been surfing off Ala Moana Beach Park for decades and has seen the sand here slowly, but steadily disappear.
"It's made it hard for surfers to walk out and for swimming in this whole area," he said. "It's quite a bit of area that got all rocky."
A rocky situation that many familiar with the area said is dangerous.
"It's frustrating to see other people that don't know where to get in and get out, said John Murray. "Little kids and stuff struggle. You got to show over here is the place to get in. Cause if you don't, they get torn up."
Reyes said, "It's frustrating to a lot of people cause a lot people get cuts and they're unaware, especially around high tide, you can't see the reef."
The city's Department of Parks and Recreation said crews pushed sand in here from the Ewa end of the beach in 2010 and 2004.
"I don't think they actually fixed it," said Reyes. "Cause it's been sandy for about the last, rocky for the past 10 years."
"It'd be great if they could refurbish, renourish the beach, especially down towards the park area," Murray said. "From here back there's like 6 feet over there."
A stretch of beach that will be even smaller over the Memorial Day weekend with equipment set up for Monday's lantern floating.
But not everyone's complaining.
"A couple rocks aren't bad compared to the desert, but yeah it could be bigger," said Janelle Horsley, a visitor from Arizona.
The city said it had no plans to fix the problem. But because of our inquiry, it said it will now look into the situation.
If crews do move any sand, it will be after the summer swells.

So I exclusively pumped 3 months with a pump in style and then about a month after I stopped exclusively pumping I got a freestyle (my pump in style was old and the motor was starting to go.)
My problem is the freestyle pumps more than the pump in style but no milk comes out for almost the first 10 minutes. Am I doing something wrong like not placing it right or is this just normal for the freestyle? It works really well but it just takes so long to start getting the milk out

Even so, Darrel Dusek warned farmers during last Wednesday's 2012 Annual Crop Tour that boll weevils could conceivably "hitchhike" back if precautions are not taken, especially when contract pickers move in from the Valley.
"Be sure the equipment is clean before you allow it in your area," Dusek said.
Dusek, zone manager for boll weevil eradication, said volunteer cotton plants grow in ditches and provide a host for the weevils if they are not pulled up.
"If you see them, pull them up," he said.
Approximately $1 billion has been invested to eradicate the pests, according to Jeff Nunley of South Texas Cotton and Grain.
Dr. Dan Fromme, extension agronomist, described this year as "boring on the insect front."
Dr. Roy Parker, extension entomologist, said, "this has been a strange year in the insect world."
Nunley had bleak news concerning the new farm bill.
"As it stands, it is not good for Southern farmers," Nunley said. "Nothing is as good as what we have now. I wish I could be the bearer of good news but my eyes don't glaze over when I talk about legislation this year."
Robert Garza, of Texas Department of Agriculture, said there are 853,000 species of insects. His department receives approximately 50 - 55 complaints a year regarding pesticide use.
"The label is the law," Garza said in regard to pesticide use. "Use it the way the label says."
On an up side, Craig Brown, with South Cross, said the company has invested $100 million in its Woodsboro and Bonnie View plants. Both are nearly completed.
"They'll be ready by the end of the summer," Brown said.
Between 15 and 20 employees will be hired full time at the facilities that are surrounded by fields of grain sorghum and cotton.
During the afternoon tour, David Wyatt, manager of Bayside-Richardson Gin, said most of the cotton in the area will benefit from the rain.
The tour began Wednesday morning in Tivoli with breakfast at Canales Cafe. The morning tour stopped at Charlie Chan's Austwell Aqua Farms. Stop two was to Don Easterwood and Craig Lenhart's Gasaway Inc. — grain storage facility. The third and last stop was Lenhart's sorghum demonstration plot.
At 4:30 p.m., the second half of the tour kicked off in Bonnie View Park followed by three tour stops. The first was to Kenneth Steindorf's cotton root rot demonstration plot.
Stop 2 and 3 were to Walt Franke sorghum grain demonstration plot and Franke's cotton variety demonstration plot.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Positive was the quiet location of the apartment and it was clean. Generally speaking utilities were ok. Further the neighbourhood with the fresh market around the corner and the beautiful square with a lots of restaurants and bars.
Minus points the apartment was quit dark with a bit poorly atmoshere.
Basic needs like soap and toiletpaper were missing.
The welcome was disappointing like they did not know that we came there for a week. And the wifi does not function well.
Nice, clean and in the middle of the city, but very noisy.
First time using Wimdu and it was a great experience. The house was very nice and clean overlooking a beautiful plaza. The beds were comfortable but the sofa bed not so much. However, we were only there two nights so it was fine. The house is spread out in three floors, with the bedrooms on the 1st and 2nd floor, so there is space for everyone. The best part of the house is the terrace and it's location.
Nieves was wonderful and very helpful. She welcomed us, answered all our questions and gave us some great tips on restaurants and bars in our neighborhood. We had a great experience thanks to her. Gracias Nieves!
An excellent apartment close to the Cathedral & the bullring , calle Adriano with a large selection of restaurants & bars was mere steps away from the front door.
The apartment was air conditioned , the TV had a facility to change the Spanish version of many programmes back to the original English language version , hot water was constantly available & the washing machine was a Godsend.
Hugely impressed and would return.
Fine appartment a bit noicy but that's a feature of the Spanish temper.
Great location, clean apartment and equipped to comfortably accommodate 4 persons. I highly recommend it.
Ottima posizione, appartamento pulito e attrezzato per ospitare comodamente 4 persone. Lo consiglio vivamente.
We had big expectations on this apartment, due to the very high price. We are very disappointed! Improvements have to be done to make this study serious, otherwise stop rent out.
Negative things:
- The study did not have any air-conditioning this must be mentioned in the description of the appartment!!!! Imagine, in July with 30 degrees and three Tapas bars just under our balcony, made it impossible to sleep, because we had to have the balcony door open (noisy until 3 a.m.). With closed door you could not sleep due to the heat.
- The study was quite dirty and non-fresh. Marks on wall paper etc. and we had to clean the bathroom ourselves before using it.
- The stove was in a bad condition. Only two out of four stove plates functioned.
- The sheet was too small for the mattress, so where ending up laying on the mattress itself
- The balcony was very small
- The pots and pans were worn out with broken layer. Must be upgraded (the rest of the kitchen and tools were Ok)
Positive things:
- The study is very close to the beach
- The view from the balcony was very nice
- The study has a washing machine
- If it is too windy on the beach there is a swimming pool included
Okay, it recommended 100% for a few days, very complete apartment and a few meters walk, bars and playa.Una very nice area and easy parking.
Muy bien, recomendable 100% para unos días, apartamento muy completo y a unos metros de paseo, chiringuitos y playa.Una zona muy bonita y de fácil aparcamiento.
We were very pleased, new apartment conform to the description situated in a quiet location from which you can walk to all major tourist destinations. The owner is a very nice and helpful, we recommend it.
Siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti, appartamento nuovo conforme alla descrizione situato in una posizione tranquilla dal quale si possono raggiungere a piedi tutte le principali mete turistiche. Il proprietario è una persona simpaticissima e disponibile, lo consigliamo.

Posted on 08/03/2011 10:11:19 AM PDT by KingofZion
A Swedish man who was arrested after trying to split atoms in his kitchen said Wednesday he was only doing it as a hobby.
Richard Handl told The Associated Press that he had the radioactive elements radium, americium and uranium in his apartment in southern Sweden when police showed up and arrested him on charges of unauthorized possession of nuclear material.
The 31-year-old Handl said he had tried for months to set up a nuclear reactor at home and kept a blog about his experiments, describing how he created a small meltdown on his stove.
Only later did he realize it might not be legal and sent a question to Sweden's Radiation Authority, which answered by sending the police.
"I have always been interested in physics and chemistry," Handl said, adding he just wanted to "see if it's possible to split atoms at home."
The police raid took place in late July, but police have refused to comment. If convicted, Handl could face fines or up to two years in prison.
Although he says police didn't detect dangerous levels of radiation in his apartment, he now acknowledges the project wasn't such a good idea.
"From now on, I will stick to the theory," he said.
(Excerpt) Read more at sfgate.com ...
May I suggest, taking up knitting instead?
Nevermind he could give radiation poisoning to anyone he comes into contact with, or nuked his own apartment. Fines and a year in prison is just peachy.
Too late. Look up the Radioactive Boy Scout.
Do it yourself IKEA Nuclear reactor, LOL
Does Amazon sell radium? How did he geyt that stuff?
Sounds like the "Radioactive Boy Scout"
I was invisioning a guy w/ an ax whacking at the atom on his table top..."Dam**t, just missed it that time!"
He should just order the "Smash-o-matic" from Ronco.
Great Scott!!!
"hold mu beer and watch this...."
"Kom out wit yer 4 handen upp!"
Well he did turn himself in. So there has to be some consideration for that.
Whatever stuff he had, I doubt he had enough of the right stuff to assemble a critical mass. Thankfully.
Hold muh quantum cat and watch this.
I suggest he try fusion instead of fission.
A couple of basic rules violated here:
Never ask a question if you might not want to hear the answer.
It's easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.
Things he forgot: http://behrns.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/ikea-tool.jpg?w=420
Another example of how the gov't is not there to help you.
Split Peas, Not Atoms!
well at least it kept him out of the tavern...
Was that WRONG?
Should he have not tried to split atoms in his kitchen?
Good luck coming up with the pressure for that.
He should have read about the "radioactive boy scout", who built a thorium breeder reactor in an Michigan back yard shed while trying to earn a boy scout badge in nuclear energy. Neighbors didn't realize what was happening until NEST teams in moon suits started walking through their back yards waving radiation detectors. The AEC dug up most of the back yard of the kid's parents and shipped it to a nuclear waste disposal site in Utah.
Here are links to the magazine article:
and the book:
The question now is "can he do fission in his prison cell?"
Just WTH is that supposed to mean? The elements listed split (i.e. decay) all by themselves just fine. There is nothing you can do to prevent that from happening. To wit, an exercise in futility. (Of course this presumes that there is no way this guy had enough material to start a critical-mass chain reaction. A safe bet, I'd say.)
His cell mate will bend him over and split his atom for him. I bet that makes him go off like an atomic bomb.
Monty Python wrote this.
You can always tell a Swede, but you can't tell them much...
Sweetie, you told that joke before.
I know, but that thread was locked. So I re-pinged you.
Start with a few spare atoms, then get a little tiny chisel... and a little tiny hammer, then......
Oh for crying out loud. Am I the only person here who ever heard of eBay?
Let that be a lesson. Never involve a government agency.
1>Does Amazon sell radium? How did he get that stuff?
Maybe he scraped the little glowing green dots off of old wristwatches?
Too funny...I got some good RevWar books and memorabilia on eBay, but never thought of looking for an atom bomb.

US ban on high-risk bank trades approvedAP photo
In this March 18, 1980, file photo, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Paul Volcker listens to a question as he appears before the Senate Banking Committee in Washington, D.C. The Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. each unanimously voted to adopt the so-called Volcker Rule, taking a major step toward preventing extreme risk-taking on Wall Street that helped trigger the 2008 financial crisis. The rule which states that U.S. banks will be barred in most cases from trading for their own profit under a federal rule is named after Paul Volcker, a former Fed chairman who was an adviser to President Barack Obama during the financial crisis.
WASHINGTON U.S. regulators have taken a major step toward reining in high-risk trading on Wall Street, banning the largest banks from trading for their own profit in most cases.
It took three years to write and adopt the Volcker Rule, one of the most critical changes to financial laws in the wake of the 2008 banking crisis.
The Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency each voted Tuesday to adopt it.
The final version is stricter than many had expected. Its goal is to reduce the kind of trades that nearly toppled the financial system five years ago and required taxpayer-funded bailouts.
At its heart, the rule seeks to ban banks from almost all proprietary trading. The practice of trading for their own profit has been very lucrative for big banks like JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup. The rule also limits banks investments in hedge funds.
But the 920-page rule contains several exemptions that allow banks to continue proprietary trading in some instances. That raises questions about whether the government can completely limit extreme risk-taking in a complex financial world.
Congress instructed regulators to draft the Volcker Rule under the 2010 financial overhaul law. It was a high-priority proposal for President Barack Obama and named after Paul Volcker, a former Fed chairman who was an adviser to Obama during the financial crisis.
On Tuesday, Obama praised regulators for adopting a rule that ensures big banks cant make risky bets with their customers deposits.
Regulators wont begin enforcing the rule until 2015. The largest banks will be required to show next year how they are taking steps toward compliance.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday said the rule could hurt Main Street businesses by making it harder for them to raise capital as banks available cash is reduced. The business lobbying group hinted at a possible court challenge, saying it will take all options into account as we decide how best to proceed.
Wall Street banks lobbied fiercely against the rule, arguing it could prevent them from using their own money to control risk in their portfolios.
Banks had also contended that the rule could limit financial trades if it prevents them from using their own money to take the other side of a clients trade. Thats a practice known as market-making.
The final version of the rule does allow proprietary trading when it is done to facilitate market-making for customers.
Other exemptions include when banks are underwriting a securities offering, or when they are trading in U.S. government, state and local bonds.
Consumer advocates were encouraged by the final language in the rule, which went through several drafts and vigorous public and private debates. But they cautioned that the rules implementation is a critical step that will prove whether it has real teeth.
This is definitely a step forward, said Bartlett Naylor, financial policy advocate at the liberal group Public Citizen. Still, he said, Its really up to (federal) supervisors to enforce it, and thats a matter of choice.MORE IN World/National BusinessWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

March 24, 2011 —
HORTONVILLE, NY — Harp, viola and flute are on the bill as Weekend of Chamber Music (WCM) ushers in its 18th season with two unique spring concerts: at 2:30 p.m. on April 3 in Hortonville, and at 4 p.m. on April 17 in Brooklyn. Harpist Elaine Christy joins violist Dov Scheindlin and flutist Judith Pearce in both programs, the centerpiece of which is Debussy's penultimate work, his Sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp.
"We will have an unusually magnificent instrument this year—a Lyon & Healy concert harp—when we welcome Elaine Christy, my colleague from Princeton," said Judith Pearce, flutist and artistic director of WCM. "Last November, Elaine, Dov and I played our first Debussy Sonata together, a wonderful composition, and the three of us shared a rare experience: our first rehearsal's 'play through' felt and sounded as if we'd been playing together for years."
On April 3, Debussy's Sonata for Flute, Viola & Harp, plus music by Nielsen, Bax, Satie and Bach, is slated for the Hortonville Presbyterian Church on County Route 131 (Hankins Road).

Hi Ladies,
My pumping output has dropped...I've tried everything, except Fenugreek. I bought two different kinds/brands: one organic jar of "Oregon's Wild Harvest" Fenugreek and one "regular", non-organic jar of "Solaray" Fenugreek.
Has anyone noticed a difference between organic and non-organic? Do you get different results?
How long does it take to see results? The doses on the directions are 2-4 capsules once a day...how many and how often do I take them for milk purposes? Is it possible to overdose?
Also, has anyone ever noticed that their baby's belly was affected by the Fenugreek (caused upset tummy)?
Any tips would be appreciated! TIA!

Style Me Pretty's Larson: Women Business Leaders
BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- If you haven't caught the headline yet, Style Me Pretty is one of the fastest growing and talked about online wedding publications.
Abby Larson, bridal industry entrepreneur and founder of the popular wedding blog, launched Style Me Pretty five years ago to fill an untapped void in the online wedding space.
The publication collaborates with more than 1,700 vendors and receives hundreds of real wedding submissions per week.
Larson has successfully wedded bridal blogging to business. Style Me Pretty tops the wedding publication list with more than 18 million hits per month and 1.6 million unique visitors, the company says. In the social media space, Style Me Pretty has more than 65,000 Twitter followers, over 119,000 Facebook "likes" and approximately 520,000 monthly visits from Pinterest.
Larson is continuously evolving the brand and looking to engage new audiences. Style Me Pretty recently debuted " Style SMP at Home ," the site's brand new lifestyle and entertainment section.
With so much content to choose from, Larson is also about to launch her first compilation book displaying a collection of real-life weddings as well as a practical guide for any bride planning a wedding. Style Me Pretty Weddings: Inspiration and Ideas for an Unforgettable Celebration goes on sale on December 18.
Saying that entrepreneurism is in her blood, Larson started the blog while she was in the process of selling a wedding invitation business she started.
"I was trying to find a way to stay connected to this industry that I have fallen in love with," she says, and saw a need for edited and curated wedding content so that brides and wedding enthusiasts wouldn't have to wait for monthly magazine issues.
Last week, TheStreet interviewed Larson about her success.
Why is the blog so popular?
Larson: I had timing on my side. Style Me Pretty was one of the first places to go to see that edited content. The timing was great. The blog was just really well received right out of the gate. I had a really well-known place link to me and traffic that was pretty huge for our early success.
The second reason is we put out great content. That's always been the goal with Style Me Pretty .
The other secret to my success is Tait, my husband. He transformed this little blog into something that people were reading all over the world. He tripled revenue
Where does the content come from?
Larson: We accept content from brides with the photographer permission and from vendors from all over the world. Tait built a submissions tool and vendors can go in and upload all their pictures. And through the back end we can automatically create those photo boards. We get about 600 weddings a week in.

Cooking caddy for quick clear-off
Photo 1: Cooking caddy
You always want salt, cooking oils and your favorite spices next to the stove because you use them every day. But they don't have to take up valuable counter space full time. Place them all in a caddy that you can instantly stow in a cabinet after cooking. You'll find caddies in various shapes, sizes and prices at any store that sells kitchenware.
Keep condiments and spices in an easy-to-carry rack to free up countertop space.
Off-the-counter microwave
Photo 2: Microwave mounted under the cabinet
Microwave ovens are the biggest space hogs on most countertops. With a few models, manufacturers offer optional mounting kits that let you mount the microwave under cabinets. To raise your old microwave, consider the sturdy brackets shown here. But first measure its height and the height of the space above the countertop; with a larger microwave, you might find that the space under it will be too small to be useful.
Tuck the microwave under your cabinets to get it off the counter.
Under-cabinet storage racks
Photo 3: Knife storage rack
Pull-down racks give you instant access to kitchen essentials without the clutter of spice racks or knife holders. When the cooking is done, the rack swings up against the underside of the cabinet. The acrylic knife rack like the one shown here, or buy a pair of hinges only and make your own wooden rack to hold knives, spices or other small items that take up counter space.
Store your knives in a convenient pull-down rack
Expand the counter with a kitchen cart
Photo 4: Kitchen cart on wheels
A rolling kitchen cart is the next best thing to adding cabinets and countertop space. The top provides extra workspace when you're preparing that big Thanksgiving dinner. And the shelves below hold items that would otherwise consume countertop space. If you plan to use a cart for food preparation, choose one with a tough top like butcher block, stainless steel or plastic laminate. Some cart tops are glossy finished wood—beautiful, but not very durable. Carts come in a variety of wood finishes, so there's a good chance you can match your existing cabinets. Or you can go for an eclectic look with a shiny metal or painted cart.
For a huge selection, shop online.
Give yourself extra workspace and shelves with a kitchen cart.
Concealed message center
Photo 5: Dry-erase message board
Don't let shopping lists, phone messages and to-do notes clutter up counter space. Mount a dry-erase board and a plastic bin on the inside of a cabinet door with double-sided foam mounting tape. The bin will protrude into the cabinet, so be sure to position it where it won't collide with shelves or the stuff inside. Get the board, bin and tape at a discount or office supply store.
Make grocery lists or write messages to family members on a dry-erase board that's mounted inside the cabinet.
Tidy file center
Photo 6: Organized files
Countertops are a landing pad for paper—mail, news clippings and other assorted notes. Get that mess off your counter with folders and a file holder. The one shown here (from an office supply store) mounts with screws or double-sided foam tape. If you don't have suitable vertical surface, get a file holder that sits on the countertop. It will take up less space (and look neater) than a stack of papers.
A file holder and files will keep paperwork off your counter and insure it doesn't get lost.
Decorative backsplash rack
Photo 7: Backsplash that holds utensils
Backsplash racks offer easy access and stylish storage. Most versions take just a few minutes to install. You'll also find a huge range of prices. Backsplash racks have a few disadvantages, though. All your kitchen utensils have to look good, since they're on display. And if you ever decide to remove the rack, you&39;ll be left with screw holes in the backsplash; not a big problem with drywall, but ugly and unfixable in tile.
A decorative backsplash looks great and holds utensils.
Under-cabinet entertainment center
Photo 8: Entertainment center under the cabinets
Replace that countertop TV with an under-cabinet model. On most models, the screen folds up and out of your way when not in use. Basic models include a radio, and pricier versions play CDs or DVDs too. Find under-cabinet TVs at electronics stores. You can even buy an under-cabinet TV system that includes a camera, which lets you monitor the front door or the backyard from the kitchen. Under-cabinet TVs are easy to mount—all you need is a drill and a screwdriver. But running cable or antenna wire to the TV probably won't be so easy. Make sure you can connect a TV before you buy one.
Mount your television under the cabinets so you can watch your favorite flicks without compromising counter space.
Tucked-away coffeemaker
Photo 9: Coffee maker under the cabinets
For serious coffee drinkers, stowing the coffeemaker inside a cabinet just doesn't make sense; you'll only have to pull it out again in a few hours. Here's a solution: An under-cabinet coffeemaker is always available and doesn't take up valuable counter space.
Have your cup of coffee every morning and still have counter space to spare.

For Immediate Release
January 31, 2008
ISBE and NIU announce 2007 Illinois Honor Roll; Nearly 1,200 schools singled out for academic excellence
Annual list recognizes continued academic achievement; 97 schools on the list fourth & fifth consecutive year
SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) and Northern Illinois University (NIU) announced today that 1,177 schools made the Illinois Honor Roll and are being recognized for their continued academic progress. The 2007 honor roll includes 97 schools that are being recognized for the fourth or fifth consecutive year. All of these outstanding schools are being honored for their accomplishments in making progress toward or maintaining academic excellence.
"I congratulate and applaud the efforts of those principals, teachers, parents and community members who made it possible for these schools to rise to the level of excellence required to make the Illinois Honor Roll," said State Superintendent Christopher A. Koch. "It is also noteworthy to see that many schools continue to maintain this achievement year after year. Making the Illinois Honor Roll is an achievement that should be celebrated. It represents the hard work that takes place in the classroom everyday."
NIU Outreach worked with the ISBE to establish criteria, identify winners of the awards, and administer the Illinois Honor Roll, which is divided into three recognition categories – Spotlight Schools; Academic Excellence and Academic Improvement. Each award has unique criteria that best reflects the diverse circumstances of Illinois schools.
- Spotlight Schools – Recognizes 508 high poverty, high performing schools that are beating the odds to overcoming the "achievement gap."
- Academic Excellence Awards – 166 schools have sustained high performance over at least three years.
- Academic Improvement Awards – 607 schools are showing substantial gains over three years.
The 2007 honor roll roster includes elementary, middle and high schools and represents 382 school districts statewide. A number of districts have multiple schools named to the Honor Roll, including: City of Chicago 299, 279 schools; Elgin U-46, 32 schools; Springfield District 186, 19 schools; Rockford School District 205, 18 schools; Decatur District 61, 15 schools; Waukegan Community Unit School District 60, 14 schools; Joliet Public School District 86, 13 schools; Peoria District 150, 11 schools; West Aurora School District 129, 10 schools; and East Aurora District 131, 10 schools.
Other 2007 Illinois Honor Roll facts:
- At all of the 607 Academic Improvement Award schools, the number of students meeting or exceeding standards increased by at least 7.5 percent over one year or 15 percent over two years.
- In 2007, 29 schools won the Academic Improvement Award for a third time, and 223 schools won the award in both 2006 and 2007.
- 40 Spotlight schools earned the distinction for a fourth time.
- 42 Academic Excellence schools sustained their long-term high achievement and won a fourth award in 2007. 46 schools are being recognized for the third time (2005–2007) and 29 for the second time (2006–2007).
- 30 Academic Improvement Award schools raised scores by more than 30 percentage points over two years.
- 71 Academic Excellence elementary schools showed increases in scores over last year, even though they started at a baseline above 90 percent of students meeting or exceeding standards.
- 83 percent of Illinois Honor Roll schools made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), as defined by the federal No Child Left Behind legislation, thus ensuring that all students increased their academic knowledge and skills.
A complete listing of the 2007 Illinois Honor Roll Schools can be found online at www.ilhonorroll.niu.edu.

I just wanted to get the opinion of other mommies. A few months ago I had to take some antibiotics and got thrush. I was on and off for about 12 weeks so the thrush never really cleared. It's been about 5 or weeks since I have been done and I swear I still have thrush. I used oil of oregano but it didn't help. Between that and the garlic oil I was using for an ear ache I smelled like a pizza!
I still nurse my 12 month old but I feel like I almost need to give up because I can't stand the pain in my left side anymore. I have resorted to just pumping on that side. It's tender to the touch and nursing is just out of the question!
Do I need to call my doc and get get a prescription? Any ideas? What worked for you? Any encouragement to stick with it? I'd love to keep nursing but I'm tired of the soreness? Does this even sound like thrush?

Surname Saturday – Warren Family – Polstead Suffolk
In my post on the 7th January, I let you know that I had found the marriage of my ancestors Samuel Baldwin and Mary Warren at Polstead, Suffolk in 1804.
With this new found information I contacted my 'cousin' and let him know what I found. The finding of the marriage proved our connection. I am descended through Samuel and Mary's first son, John Baldwin (b1804) and my cousin is descended through another son, Thomas Baldwin, born 1815. He was able to obtain the original copy of the marriage and one of the witness was a Samuel Warren, which I would think is probably Mary's father.
I am yet to find any other children born to Samuel & Mary between 1804 and 1812 but they did have another 3 children. The children we know are below and were all born and baptised in St Marys' Bures, Suffolk,
- John (1804-1871)
- Samuel (1813-1816
- Thomas (1815-1851)
- Robert (1817-1892)
- George (1826-1905)
From looking at the Cosford Database, Ancestry and Family Search, everything points to Mary Warren's parents being Samuel Warren and Ann How. They were married on the 30th November 1779 at Polstead. Though in saying this, it's possible "How" may not be her maiden name, as the marriage is listed twice, with Ann's surname also being Townes.
Samuel Warren and Ann How
- Ann Warren 1780:
- Mary Warren 1783 -1842: married Samuel Baldwin in 1804
- Samuel Warren 1785 – 1845: married Ann Hyham in 1819
- Susan Warren 1789: married William Elmer in 1819
- Hannah Warren 1791:
- Elizabeth Warren 1793 – 1872: married John Green in 1818
- James Warren 1794:
- John Warren 1797:
- Edward Warren 1798 – 1884: married Maria Lambert in 1820 and married Charlotte Rice in 1846.
One tree on Ancestry has posted a photo of a house with the description ' Samuel Warren and Ann How's house'. There is no other description or comments for the photo. Others have copied the photo over to their tree but I am reluctant to do this without further proof confirming that this was the house they had lived in. I've sent a message to the person who originally posted the photo and have asked them to let me know where the house is and the name of it. I'm thinking that it's more than likely that it is in Polstead, considering that's where they spent their live. But as yet, I haven't heard from them.
Samuel's age was listed as being 85 in the UK Census 1841 which would make his birth year to be 1756. But on his death, his age is listed as being 87, which would mean he was born in 1758.
On Family Search there are 3 possibilities for who his parents were:
- Samuel Warren – born 20 Nov 1756 Suffolk,England to William and Mary Warren
- Samuel Warren – christened 15 Feb 1758 Suffolk, to Nathanael Warren, and Sarah Warren
- Samuel Warren – christened 23 Apr 1758 Layham,Suffolk,to Samuel and Elizabeth Warren.
I note that there are some trees on Ancestry that have William & Mary as Samuel's parents but I'd rather wait to see if I can find further prove before saying for sure that they were his parents.
There appears to have been some tragedy that occurred during March of 1842 in Polstead, because at least 3 members of Warren family died in early March.
Samuel Warren born 1758 – died March 1845. Buried 8 March 1845 at St Mary's Polstead
Samuel Warren born 1785 – died March 1845. Buried 11 March 1845 at St Mary's Polstead
Ann Warren (born 1820) married William Munson in 1841 – died March 1845. Buried 7 March 1845 at St Mary's Polstead, note I'm not sure of who Ann's parents were. The Cosford database has two Ann Warren's born in 1820/1821. Maybe they are the one and the same? I would have to obtain the marriage certificate for Ann & William to see the name of Ann's father.

The house on ancestry is the house that Samuel Warren and Ann How lived in. If you go to google maps and type in polstead, martens lane the first houses in martens lane is where they lived but im not sure which one.

Correct wrong against SmithMay 06,2014It is time for the Rutland Herald and elected officials of Rutland City to amend and correct what they have done to Michael Smith through personal attacks and barring Michael from his park. When I grew up in Rutland, the Herald was about reporting worthy of winning national awards. Lets get back to this type of reporting and start with rebuilding Michael Smiths image.
Similar to many of you reading this, I have known Michael for a long time. OK, perhaps even longer than many of you, as the years tally to 35. We were athletes together on the soccer fields and ski slopes. Our families knew of each other even longer back. It has been a friendship based on many things. Largely, it has also been about shared values of doing what is right and being there for people and communities unconditionally.
The Herald, city officials, the board of Pine Hill Park Im not sure where to begin. Lets get back to thoughtful and public leadership that would be noteworthy statewide and nationally. Learn to overcome our circumstances and work with an extraordinary individual again.
There are a lot of us out there. People who know Michael and want him back in Rutland as he was before. Do the right thing.

Pinkerton believed that if he could spirit the president-elect through Baltimore ahead of schedule, the assassins would be caught off guard. By the time they took their places for the February 23 arrival in Baltimore, Lincoln would already be safe in Washington.
Pinkerton knew that what he was proposing would be risky and perhaps even foolhardy. Even if Lincoln departed ahead of schedule, the route to the capital would pass through Baltimore in any case. If any hint of a change of plan leaked out, Lincoln's position would become far more precarious. Instead of traveling openly with his full complement of friends and protectors, he would be relatively alone and exposed, with only one or two men at his side. That being the case, Pinkerton knew that secrecy was even more critical than ever.
Shortly after 9 a.m., Pinkerton met Felton and walked with him toward the depot of the PW&B Railroad. He told Felton that his investigation left no room for doubt: "There would be an attempt made to assassinate Mr. Lincoln." Moreover, Pinkerton concluded, if the plot were successful, Felton's railroad would be destroyed to prevent retaliation by the arrival of Northern troops. Felton assured Pinkerton that all the resources of the PW&B would be placed at Lincoln's disposal.
Pinkerton hurried back to his hotel, the St. Louis, and told one of his top operatives, Kate Warne, to stand by for further instructions. In 1856, Warne, a young widow, had stunned Pinkerton when she appeared at his Chicago headquarters, asking to be hired as a detective. Pinkerton at first refused to consider exposing a woman to danger in the field, but Warne persuaded him that she would be invaluable as an undercover agent. She soon demonstrated extraordinary courage, helping to apprehend criminals—from murderers to train robbers.
Pinkerton, before going out to continue making arrangements, also dispatched a trusted young courier to take a message to his old friend, Norman Judd, traveling with Lincoln.
As Lincoln arrived in Philadelphia and made his way to the luxurious Continental hotel, Pinkerton returned to his room at the St. Louis and lit a fire. Felton arrived shortly afterward, Judd at 6:45.
If Lincoln abided by his current itinerary, Pinkerton told Judd, he would be reasonably safe while still on board the special. But from the moment he landed at the Baltimore depot, and especially while riding in the open carriage through the streets, he would be in mortal peril. "I do not believe," he told Judd, "it is possible he or his personal friends could pass through Baltimore in that style alive."
"My advice," Pinkerton continued, "is that Mr. Lincoln shall proceed to Washington this evening by the eleven o'clock train." Judd made to object, but Pinkerton held up a hand for silence. He explained that if Lincoln altered his schedule in this manner, he would be able to slip through Baltimore unnoticed, before the assassins made their final preparations. "This could be done in safety," Pinkerton said. In fact, it was the only way.
Judd's face darkened. "I fear very much that Mr. Lincoln will not accede to this," he said. "Mr. Judd said that Mr. Lincoln's confidence in the people was unbounded," Pinkerton recalled, "and that he did not fear any violent outbreak; that he hoped by his management and conciliatory measures to bring the secessionists back to their allegiance."
In Judd's view, the best chance of getting Lincoln to change his mind rested with Pinkerton himself. There is nothing in Pinkerton's reports to suggest that he expected to take his concerns directly to Lincoln, nor is it likely, given his long-established passion for secrecy, that he welcomed the prospect. He had made a career of operating in the shadows, always taking care to disguise his identity and methods.
