text: Gradient layers are so beautiful and we've seen them everywhere– from clothing, to cakes, to flowers. We thought it would be really fun to incorporate this look into a Mani Monday post. Lately I've really wanted a new spin on the "Ombre Nail" and I think we might have found it. There are a couple of things you need to know before starting this manicure. One: get a color that's incredibly rich and dark so that as you dilute it for each layer you can get plenty of variation. Two: I had to attempt this 3 times in order to get it right, so come equipped with a little patience. Three: You could do this with different colors but you won't get the same look because there's a "see through" quality that you get when you dilute a dark polish color with a clear polish that you wouldn't get when layering regular nail polish. It's almost like one stain layered over the next stain. The best part is that all of the colors stem from the original polish color so the tone will be exactly the same throughout. Here we go: (more…)

Only about a dozen people turned out to the "listening session" convened at the request of the five representatives of the "decree parties" to hear comments about the Flexible Flow Management Plan (FFMP).
Yes, it is nearly as complex and arcane as it sounds, but the broad outlines of one aspect of it can be explained in a couple of sentences: A lot of people want the water that is contained in the Delaware River Watershed. Some of those people would like a tiny bit of that water from the Cannonsville Reservoir to be used to keep trout in the Upper Delaware cool in the summer. On the other hand, most of the people involved with setting policy about river releases don't seem to care all that much about the temperature of the water in which the trout swim.
The decree parties are litigants to a lawsuit in 1954, in which the U.S. Supreme Court decided how much water New York City and other entities could take out of the watershed, and how much water must be released to maintain the quantities needed to serve downstream users.
The administrative position of the Delaware River Master was created to ensure that terms of the decree were carried out. A few years later, the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) was created to oversee the management of the river, but the DRBC can't infringe on any of the decree parties' rights without the unanimous consent of all those parties.
Representatives of the decree parties turned out to Sullivan County Community College on October 1, to hear comments from the public about the FFMP, the current plan that governs releases from the New York City reservoirs.
The Delaware River Master, Robert Mason, noted that he was appearing that night as a private citizen due to the partial shutdown of the federal government. Mason explained that the original court decree "does not require and does not provide for spill mitigation or for ecological flows, so New York City has no obligation to release any water," beyond that as defined in the decree. So originally, no thought whatsoever was given to the impact of reservoir releases on aquatic life.
However, Robert Tudor, executive deputy director of the DRBC said that over time things began to change a bit. After historic droughts in the 1960s, it became clear that under some extreme conditions everyone's water rights could not met. Also, stakeholders gradually became interested addressing a "flow need" that was not addressed in the original decree, which was the need to support aquatic life.
Tudor said that in 1983, the decree parties reached a "good faith agreement" that in time lead to the FFMP, which was adopted in 2007.
Professor Peter Kolesar and his research partner Jim Serio conducted extensive research on which the FFMP was initially based. The current plan is called FFMP-OST, the second part of which stands for Operation Support Tool, a tool that was developed for the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) by a consultant.
During his remarks at the listening session, Kolesar said he and Serio had developed a thermal stress protocol that could relieve heat stress on trout in the summer in the Main Stem of the river above Lordville. He and others said this could be done without risking the water supply of New York City and other municipalities, but his proposal had been rejected by the decree parties without comment.
Kolesar also criticized the DEP for not sharing the algorithm at the heart of the OST. He said the FFMP-OST is a "non-transparent, black box algorithm which is not fully understood, specified, or documented by the DRBC or by the decree parties, with the possible exception of New York City… and certainly not by interested outside stakeholders."
He also found fault with the agencies responsible for environmental conservation in "several states" who should be interested in protecting the trout but who instead, "have been remarkably passive on the issue of summertime thermal relief. This should be a prime mission for them; their leadership is sorely needed."
At this meeting, about seven people addressed the decree parties, and all of them said the issue of trout and thermal stress should be addressed as the next version of the FFMP is crafted.
Tony Ritter, a fishing guide and council member of the Town of Tusten, asked why for the 48 hours preceding the listening session the release from the Cannonsville Reservoir was near 1,000 cubic feet per second, when that same amount of water could have been released in July and August when it could have helped ensure the health of the trout.
Ritter said, "The Upper Delaware River is already one of the best, tail water, wild trout rivers in the eastern United States in the spring and also in the fall, when the air temperature is cool. It has the potential to be even better in the summer months."
None of the decree party representatives commented.
A new FFMP may be adopted next year.

I'll be on a maternity leave for 3 months, then will return to work full-time. Most days will be 9-5 but some days I'll have night meetings and events.
I just need some peace of mind now and some answers to the following questions:
I'm assuming I'll be more at ease once I realize how often the baby feeds. Is this what determines your schedule or does your doctor recommend one?
I will most likely plan to pump during my lunch hour? With an electric Medela pump how long does pumping take?
Also, how much milk to you pump per day?
Do you pump extra on the weekends?
How long does breastmilk last?

I completley understand and no it's not bad that you feel that way, it's just honest feelings that you can't help but feel.

All except Rubio of course. The guys a mad PG and plays some snakey, Ginobili-esque, Euro on ball and off ball defence. One of the best passers in the world too.

Robert Currence on Apr 21, 2010
Full Disclosure these moves are completely unsubstantiated but do come from a source inside the Knick organization. But I am curious on what you folks think.
Donnie Walsh has not given up on trying to pry Ricky Rubio from Minnesota, there is a plan to offer Bill Walker and our 2 second round picks for Rubio's draft rights.* The second move is a do over of a move that did not work at the trading deadline.* Walsh still has his man crush on Tyrus Thomas and if he can't sign him outright, he is considering a sign and trade for him.* Charlotte supposedly has some interest in Al so he might try to sign Al and trade him to Charlotte for TT Boy.* The third option *is to go get Ramon sessions to pair with TD in the back court. That one is the least believeable because it involves Sergio which would require the Knicks to make a qualifying offer and sign him first.
In an unrelated unconfirmed rumor, David Lee is higher on Walsh's list than the old boy is letting on, by pretending to be disinterested Donnie is hoping to drive down the price for Lee. It appears that Donnie has a hard as concrete ceiling of 10 mil as the highest he is willing to pay Lee.* But supposedly the interest is so high that behind Bos, Lee is his second choice.* Well what do you think. Personally with the exception of bringing Lee back at a good price I hope all of these are full of hot air.
All except Rubio of course. The guys a mad PG and plays some snakey, Ginobili-esque, Euro on ball and off ball defence. One of the best passers in the world too.
Donnie Walsh biggest problem as a President:
First thing Walsh better do is find and Fire all these "sources inside the Knick organization" that is snitching all his bussiness to media and the next team.but do come from a source inside the Knick organization.
I don't want Rubio anymore.
Personally, I like these. I would still like to see Rubio as a Knick. And not having to give up Chandler is a bonus. Walker + our 2nd round picks is a great deal. And who else that may be available could run D'Antoni's system? Chris Paul obviously, and he should be our first choice. But it will be difficult to get him and N.O. may ask for too much.
A Bosh/Thomas frontcourt is pretty freaking good. Much better than a Bosh/Lee or Lee/Thomas froncourt. And this still leaves plenty of space to get some other very good players to fill out the roster.
SG-Anthony Morrow
I'll take that lineup.
The only thing I can think of (and I somewhat agree) is perhaps we don't want a guy like Rubio who decides if he doesn't like where he is drafted he just won't go. It's the NBA equivalent of taking your ball and going on home...kind of a bitch move. But I think the talent is certainly there, and he would flourish in D'Antoni's system.
No one- short of all-star, MVP Steve Nash can run this (sold as) seemingly innovative offense! -Smh.
WARNING DONNIE... don't get caught up in the "he needs certain players to be successful" crap!
YOU (Donnie Walsh) know what contending teams need. If that contradicts what this petty, ego driven fool wants... **** him!
PS... why would Bosh play here? His options are to play along side Wade-Lebron-Rose on their current respective teams. that means he has shooters/scorers/ball handlers- stars that take pressure off of him... the Knicks can only offer Joe Johnson and future cap relief next year and that's IF Johnsom signs.
Donnies only real hope is to bring in BOTH targets like Bosh and Johnson and they BOTH agree to sign simultaneously. I can't think why a top tier player would do that rather than join CHI-MIA or even NJ.
The time to BUILD an attractive roster has EXPIRED! Now what? A whole bunch of 2nd to 3rd tier players and more D'Antoni spin doctor excuses!
Constantly trying to find players who fit into this "system" will ultimately start to complicate things. Milicic and Hill were great for their teams but we couldn't use them all because of the "system".
Real Talk
Getting back on subject, I would love Rubio but would rather send Chandler instead of Walker. I just have this feeling that Walker will turn out to be the player he was always projected to be before the knee injuries.
Walker is 10x better than any of us thought he would be and I'm sure he's only going to get better. In order for Chandler to get better, he has to be more aggressive and I don't see that happening so lets trade him now that he has a bit of value.
Real Talk
is it to please this coach?
Donnie knows better than to hope for the playoffs w/o a legit big.
Donnie knows he's given D'ant what he's asked for in Duhon and getting rid of Marbs and Milicic etc...
so to me he's being a good supporter of D'Ant and nothing so far...
will he continue searching for answers that don't exist or will he smarten up?
cause if he don't... we are f*cked in more ways than one!
as I posted in the other thread...
we're building this unconventional roster, for this unconventional coach but we're taking loses conventionally by neglecting our D. Now you want to sell me on another euro player...
Oh hell no! why not just keep the carosel going until he finds his "fit" GTFOH!
N*ggas is acting like this system is proven like the triangle. It isn't!

Illinois State Board of Education Urges Families to Read During Summer Vacation
Studies show summer reading maintains student improvement
SPRINGFIELD - The Illinois State Board of Education is encouraging families to read together during the summer months in order to maintain their children's reading gains. Studies show children who read through the summer months maintain more of their academic skills and are better prepared when school doors open in the fall.
"Learning and reading shouldn't stop just because school is out. Summer time reading helps children maintain the gains they've made during the school year,'' said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch. "We know that summer time reading can help reduce the achievement gap between children from low and high socioeconomic families and inspire new lifelong learning habits.''
Studies show that children can sustain their reading gains and improve reading through the summer months. One review of the impact of summer reading found that children can lose up to 60 percent of their skills over a two-month vacation.
Research indicates that struggling learners score significantly higher on standardized tests taken at the beginning of the summer than they do on the same test taken at summer's end. The loss is particularly evident in reading, and most pronounced among students from low socioeconomic families who may not have access to books.
One resource for many children across the state is the iREAD program, a summer reading program offered for 29 years through the Illinois Library Association (ILA). The program provides libraries with resources developed by Illinois librarians and is one way to ensure that children continue reading through the summer months.
Tens of thousands of children participated in last year's iREAD program in more than 560 libraries in Illinois as well as several other states. The U.S. Navy and the country of Australia have also adopted Illinois' iREAD program. This year's iREAD theme is "Read on the Wild Side.''
"For nearly thirty years, the Illinois library community has realized the correlation between summer reading and student achievements and responded by providing high quality, low cost resources, program ideas, bibliographies, and incentive products that enable local library staff to motivate children to read," said ILA Executive Director Robert P. Doyle. "This year's theme 'Read on the Wild Side' is an adaptable fun program for people of all ages and is already being well received across the state."
Local libraries are ready to help young readers with programs and resources to assist children find books that meet their specific literacy tastes and interests. Studies also show that library programs encourage parents to play greater roles in their children's literacy development – another factor that leads to reading achievement.
Parents, teachers and students can learn more about the iREAD program at www.ila.org/pub/iread/htm.

I refer you to Russell and Whitehead and the development of positivism at the start of the 1900's. mysticism comes with desires and their interpretations, math produces truths that can only be supported by logic and reasoning, it is a study that appears to be different in that regards.

Enjoy the site,I know I do!!thereisalwaystruth posted:7/11/2012 1:54:14 AM Some good points have already been made. Let me say that mathematics are numeral. Though the numbers are not solid matter, it is what they represent. The rules cannot, to my knowledge, be broken in terms of numbers. They are solid state terms that are paired with objects or things to be multiplied. 1 apple is 1 apple. You cannot make 3 apples if you are adding 1 and 1 no matter how you try. So in turn yes mathematics are a simple yet firm truth. Words on the other hand words and letters can be bent slightly, and vary greatly between culture. F can be made with ph in america, and in other countries those letters may not even exist. 1 apple is 1 apple in america, japan, or russia all the same. Though these should not be compared as they are of totally different aspects of reality and life. Sometimes the truth may be unbelievable, but fact is fact, and there is always a right and a wrong answer to an equation. Thank you jeff, I never thought it would start such a fire lol. It was the first thing I came up with, and it was probably heavily influenced by me reading the moon anomalies. Well at the end of the day, let's all be a friends and have a beer! Your reality may differ from mine, I may be the space creature who defies the laws of time and space. The truth is there, even if noone knows what it is.gary107 posted:7/11/2012 1:34:37 PM the counting system being used can give different answers. The third prime three digit number base 10 is 107, but the third digit number base 12 is 111 [157 in base 10]. 23 in base 10 counting is 2 tens and three ones which is 23, but 23 in base 12 counting system is two 12's and three ones which is 27 in base 10. You can change the starting point and the rules of counting [by 12 instead of 10] yet what you do is still counting and you arrive at an equivalent answer. In France they used to count base 20 [they used both hands and toes ?]. You need to know the counting system and then what the digit means in the place where it is. 107 base 10 is 107. 107 base 12 is 1B [ 96 and 11 base 10 ] or in base 20 it is 57 [ 100 and 7 ]. We tend to see the world around us through the filter of our lives experiences, math tries to limit the impact of that filter by the use of firm rules and methods. I see that there is an effort to apply method to the study of some aspects of paranormal events. Is it right or correct to do this?gary107 posted:7/11/2012 2:22:25 PM I recall talking with our department chairman, Dr. Carella, in the late 1980's regarding a stock insurance plan using derivatives as a method to put "confidence" into market investments. He said it would allow folks to invest with greater assurance and lead to a market expansion, which it did. He died in the late 1990's knowing he was right. I cautioned against applying mathematical absrtacts against real market events, when it all comes back to roost, then it is my turn to be correct. 90 % plus of all banking transactions these days [2012] empoly the use of RSA encoding using two 200 digit long prime numbers to produce a 400 digit long combined number. In 2003 I came up with a method to break the large combined numberm down into it's large primes. I live with apprehension that some group of teenagers may come by the method and apply it to their own ends. It is good to be able to figure it out, but bad if it gets out. Russia has a different method in their banking system based on the CzeckSloviakian mechine the German army used during World War II. Math is neither good nor bad, it nepends on how it is used.gary107 posted:7/11/2012 2:53:20 PM /dependsgary107 posted:7/11/2012 2:57:06 PM 1B is 23 base 12 counting system, 107 is 8B base 12.

I do agree, though, that math and numbers are used to govern people and their outlook on reality.gary107 posted:7/27/2012 12:18:40 AM there is an effort to encode information in order to facilitate the movement or transference of goods and ideas. one such device is the RSA method [ RSA = Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman ] of encodement. They take two very large prime numbers and produce a combimed number by multipying them together. One factor is kept as a private key and the other one is made public so that people can sent you secure information. Banks use their system for transfering funds from one account to another.

I think it would be a perfect educational tool. As for my stance on math... In an ideal existence, mathematics would be obsolete because we as conscious souls would transcend it.

Dead Space: Aftermath Writer Brandon Auman Interview
Nowadays, you can't have just a game or a movie -- you need to have a fully realized alternative universe with its own mythology and stories to support the main source material.

Comic-Con 2010 Panel: Building a Horror Franchise: Dead Space 2

Dead Space Team Has Planned "Plenty of Games"
Visceral Games, the people behind creepy-as-crap sci-fi horror game Dead Space have vowed not to cheapen Dead Space, but say they've mapped out "plenty" of games in that universe. The focus is on quality, not quantity, so don't look for an iPod Dead App or Dead Space: Kart Racing Challenge any time soon, unless they are awesome.Read...
Visceral Games Hiring For Dante's Inferno Sequel?
Visceral Games might have said they weren't planning a sequel for their epic action adaptation of Dante's Inferno, but a new job listing seems to suggest otherwise.

The Reason Dead Space 2's Once Muted Isaac Clarke Suddenly Has A Voice
Isaac Clarke didn't speak a word in Dead Space, despite the horrors unfolding around him. Isaac didn't even have much of a reaction when he found out the reason he was traversing through swarms of infected humans -- his girlfriend -- wasn't quite the person he'd thought she was. In Dead Space 2, however, Isaac will have a voice. Developer...
Could Dead Space: Extraction Be Coming To Xbox 360, PlayStation 3?
Dead Space: Extraction was an impressive game, possibly the best on-rails shooter released for the Wii. But Electronic Arts didn't release Dead Space on the Wii, so it always struck me as a bit odd they'd release a spin-off on a different console. It's not hard to imagine Dead Space: Extraction working on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 once Project...
First Look At Dead Space 2 Concept Art
Game Informer has the scoop on the recently confirmed Dead Space 2. Electronic Arts has tasked Visceral Games with crafting a new limb-dismembering adventure for Issac Clarke, but the details on Issac's new battle (how'd he survive?!) against the Necromorphs remains a mystery for now.

Sessler's Soapbox: Goodbye Pandemic Studios
It was just yesterday that we all found out about the closing of Pandemic Studios, creators of the Mercenaries series and the upcoming The Saboteur. While there have been a lot of game developers shutting their doors recently, this one seems to represent something larger than a simple financial decision. Pandemic's publisher EA tried an...
Electronic Arts Dismisses Dead Space 2 Report As "Speculative"
Dead Space: Extraction might not have been the out-of-the-gate success Electronic Arts was hoping for (and it's a good game, too!), but elsewhere, Dead Space was a critical and commercial success. Gamers (myself included) have demanded Dead Space 2 and several leaks have reinforced suspicions, while EA looks in the other direction. A Reuters...
More Evidence For The Obvious: Dead Space 2 Coming Sometime Next Year
Updated @ 12:02 p.m. PST: Electronic Arts has responded to the Reuters report...but didn't say much. Electronic Arts is remaining silent, but it's becoming more and more obvious a sequel to Dead Space is coming sometime next year. Dead Space 2's existence has been mentioned several times on developer Linkedin profiles and a news report today...
Dead Space Extraction Launch Trailer
The Wii is a great machine for on-rails shooting games, so kudos to Visceral Games for coming up with the bright idea to use that capability to create Dead Space: Extraction.

Reagan, Bush & guns
Why the hysteria over President Obama recommending the ban of assault weapons since Reagan and G.W. Bush did the SAME thing?
The answer is that the right wing has been whipped into a frenzy over this because it now serves the interests of the Republican party to find ANY reason to marginalize Obama. The problem with picking this fight is that the majority of America realizes the lunacy of this position, even the past leadership of the right. This has nothing to do with the constitution and everything to do with Obama.

Guns & young men
Over the past decade, some reoccurring community concerns and thoughts that have come to mind. To me, it seems like we need to have some community reevaluation, rethinking, and changes. What say you?
Gun violence. Guns that can shoot more than 10 bullets at a time need to be locked up at home or kept locked away from home. If such guns are used by anyone, for illegal, massive destruction purposes, from an unlocked, negligent situation, the owner is charged and legally tried for a significant crime - 10 years in prison. We live in the United States of America, we should have the freedom to own such guns, however, such ownership carries mighty responsibility.
Our young men. The law enforcement and legal system in Grand Traverse County is deleterious to the health of our young men. We are losing a whole generation of good men to financial ruin and emotional flattening. Men between the ages of 18 and 32 are being unfairly followed, monitored, and stalked by the police. Every possible ploy and excuse to stop and catch a young man with alcohol or drugs on board is occurring every day.
I would like to see statistics reflecting the numbers and age range of vehicular stops. Utilizing the same rationale for stopping young men, the same can and should apply to the middle-aged and the elderly. Let's take a deep breath and think about what we are doing in this community. I think we can get the results we want with a better approach.
Jill Rahrig • via email
Guns & the media
I agreed with your Random Thoughts column, re: violence in USA and gun control. Our perceptions are so ingrained about how safe we are here and how dangerous it is in foreign countries. I also agree that our entertainment contains far too much violence, but is unlikely to change.

Slamming MLK Day
It's too bad that Traverse City's homosexual community continues their attempt to ride on the coat tails of black history. The majority of the black community do not support homosexuality or gay marriage, and are sick and tired of the sham that the gays and their allies continue to perpetrate on our citizens. Every year the Traverse City Human Rights Commission spends taxpayers' money to celebrate a so-called holiday that no one in Northern Michigan observes.
This year the HRC requested the city manager to approve spending $2,000 to import a black gospel group to perform in Traverse City, when we have many excellent groups locally, not to mention the talent that the Interlochen Center for the Performing Arts would provide at no cost.
Martin Luther King Day does nothing to further the cause of blacks, and is nothing more then waste of time and money, and due to the fact that it has been hijacked by the gay community has lost most of its credibility with the general public.

Snyder's lack of jobs
Will Governor Snyder run again?
Total Michigan employment declined by 11,000 in December; however, the number of unemployed was little changed, edging upward by 1,000. The net impact was a 10,000 worker reduction in the state's labor force over the month. The Michigan jobless rate in December 2012 was four-tenths of a point below the state's December 2011 rate of 9.3 percent. The national jobless rate decreased by seven-tenths of a point.
So much for Snyder's first two years of unfettered growth and prosperity.
"I'm not fully up to speed, but I'm still learning on the job," Snyder said. "I think I communicate much better."
His State of the State speech reflected sharply increased police protection. And he's talking about increasing the State Police force even more as he continues to vilify, disenfranchise and shrink the rest of the state's public employees and school teachers, except, of course, for his two new $100,000 a year RTW executives and their staff (wonder what their benefits looks like). And don't forget the changes coming up in your state income tax or the $1.2 billion he's looking to raise in transportation taxes.
Yes, Snyder should run . . . right back home to Ann Arbor.
Bill Brown • TC
A better supreme court
We ask Governor Snyder to give serious consideration to the recommendation of the state's bipartisan commission on Michigan Supreme Court elections.
Their recommendation is to establish a panel of respected lawyers and lay people to select a list of prospective nominees to the Supreme Court through a public vetting process. This would establish a precedent for any future governors, some certainly to be Democrats, to make appointments in a non-partisan manner to this most important third branch of government. He campaigned on a promise of transparency and accountability in governing and this action would demonstrate his commitment to that pledge.
Kristine Busk, Chair • Executive Committee Charlevoix County Democratic Party
Rigging the vote
Gerrymandering is the redrawing of congressional district lines to give one party advantage over the other in elections. Even though Democratic congressional candidates won the popular vote by over a million votes in the 2012 election, it was the Republicans who won the US House and both houses of our Michigan legislature due in large part to gerrymandering. Republicans engaged in voter purging, voter caging, and voter suppression such as intimidating billboards and long lines to discourage certain groups of people from voting in some state. I believe every citizen's vote should count equally.
Now Republicans in Michigan and other states are trying to change the rules by dividing electoral votes. Currently the popular vote determines who wins all the state's electoral votes. Republicans want the electoral votes to be divided by the number of districts won (which they decided in 2010) even though the districts are not equal in population or demographics.
The votes of some people would count more than the votes of others. That is unethical, that is discrimination, that is unconstitutional. President Obama said, "We as citizens have a responsibility to shape the debate." Call your senators and representatives today. Check your phone directory.

Hi from Xanada,
Ten Reasons to Oppose the SPP and TILMA
'You, Me, and the S.P.P: Trading Democracy for Corporate Rule'
"a feature length documentary which exposes the corporatist agenda that is currently undermining the democratic authority of the citizens of North America.
Two processes, the Security Prosperity Partnership (SPP) and the Trade Investment Labour Mobility Agreement (TILMA) are rapidly eroding and eliminating standards, civil liberties, regulatory systems and institutions put in place over generations through the democratic process."
However, Canada has a minority government and the always-pending election promises everything will stay the same always.
But wait, There's More…
There is a great Canadian tune about the decaying nature of our fair nation Called
"End of Me", by a favourite artist, Wax Mannequin, that's not too political, so to speak, but a wonderful regional soundtrack to the incremental implosion of the Canadian spirit.

Some things just go together. Sonny and Cher. Black ties and white shirts. Summertime and Sea Breezes.
The drink, not the off-shore wind, for all you nature lovers out there. Two parts silky smooth Absolut Vodka. Three parts tangtastic grapefruit juice. One part tart... cranberry juice. Lime garnish to top it all off.
What could be more refreshing? Maybe an actual off-shore wind. But short of that, an Absolut Sea Breeze cocktail is about as good as it gets.
When the temperatures rise into the 90's, the shorts get shorter, the legs come out and the skin gets tan(ner), make sure you're not left lounging without a Sea Breeze in hand. After all, no person should ever be left sweating without a sweating glass nearby.
It's as though the Sea Breeze was designed to be enjoyed in the heat; its color perfectly complements cool ocean blues and warm yellows. But fret not, it is in no way a seasonal drink. The Sea Breeze also carries within its rosy colored bliss the power to transport you, perhaps the quickest way to escape the grim chill of the winter and return to the soothing warmth of the summer sun.
The time of the Sea Breeze has arrived.
Don't miss out.

I've enjoyed Anne Lamott's previous books and therefore have been looking forward to reading her latest, Help. Thanks. Wow.: The Three Essential Prayers. The simple concept of the title combined with her familiar and often humorous writing style have led me to think (hope) that once again, I'll be able to identify with her perspective on personal spirituality in an easy-to-read, down-to-earth way.

Mr. Sugarek was born on January 23, 1943, in Beeville, Texas, to James Randolph and Ruby Wood Sugarek. After graduating from A.C. Jones High School in 1960, he received his Bachelor of Science degree in Range Animal Science and Geology in 1967 from Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas. He then completed his Master of Art degree in Range Animal Science in 1969, also at Sul Ross. From 1973-1974, he completed post-graduate studies in Range Management at Texas A&M University.
Mr. Sugarek married Betty Jean Hoot of Corpus Christi, Texas, on January 1, 1967, at the First Presbyterian Church of Beeville, Texas. They spent the early years of their marriage in Alpine, Texas, while he completed his education and worked on the Catto-Gage Ranch.
Mr. Sugarek honorably served his country in the United States Army from 1969-1971 as a Veterinarian Specialist at Fort Gordon, Georgia. He then returned home to Beeville and began his career in farming and ranching. Mr. Sugarek was a fourth generation Texas farmer who owned and operated Sugarek Farms, which was a row crop and beef production operation for over 25 years. Currently it is a ranching enterprise specializing in commercial meat goat production with an integrated native wildlife management program that utilizes range and water conservation practices.
For the past twenty years, Mr. Sugarek was employed by Texas Farm Bureau as a Senior Field Representative assisting the members of 13 county Farm Bureaus. In this role, Mr. Sugarek promoted and protected production agriculture and the rural way of life. He was an advocate for agricultural education across Texas school districts, teaching children the importance of farming in our communities. He also lobbied with our elected leaders to ensure the voice of agriculture was heard throughout our state and local governments. He devoted his life to the importance of agriculture and sustaining it for future generations.
Mr. Sugarek was a community leader serving on the Beeville ISD Board of Trustees, past president of the Academic Booster Club, founder of the Renaissance Club at A. C. Jones High School, Bee County Cooperative Association Board member, Children's Discovery Museum of Victoria Board member, South Texas Cotton and Grain Association Board member, and a Bee County Farm Bureau member and Board Director. Most recently, he was the President of the Sul Ross State University Alumni Association and previously served for 10 years on the Alumni Association Board of Directors. Mr. Sugarek was a member of the Providence Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Beeville where he served as an elder.
Survivors include his wife of 47 years, Betty Sugarek of Beeville; four daughters and sons-in-law, Sally and Chuck Hodon of Victoria, Shona and Matt Preston of Abilene, Shala and Lloyd Sturgeon of Harker Heights, and Sarah and Randy Baker of Harker Heights; seven grandchildren, Claire Jane Preston, Laura Nicole Preston, Kaitlyn Marie Hodon, Luke Matthew Preston, Justin Parker Hodon, Ella Claire Sturgeon, and William Rowdy Baker; one sister and brother-in-law, Avis and Earl Wall of Star; and one niece, Emily Hogan and husband Aaron of College Station.
He is preceded in death by his parents, James Randolph and Ruby Wood Sugarek.
A funeral service was held at First Baptist Church in Beeville, on Monday, August 18, 2014, at 2:00 pm with the Rev. George Lacy officiating. Burial was at the Glenwood Cemetery in Beeville, Texas, with full military honors.
Pallbearers included Chuck Hodon, Matt Preston, Lloyd Sturgeon, Randy Baker, Earl Wall, Mark Dragon, Cary McCown, Gary Hitzfeld, and Paul Scotten.
Expressions of sympathy may be made in contribution to Sul Ross State University East Highway 90 Alpine, Texas 79832.

This one will be released by us, here - in the ether - next year, putting it up for download only via our new app and related online channels.
More info on Messe I.X-VI.X - formats and pre-ordering etc. - will follow shortly. In the meantime, have a look at some of the material from the concert in Tromsø, which forms the basis of the album
Written by !J.O.O.E.! on 21.08.2013 at 21:41
Another Ulver record, and another one I think to myself "Hey, this sounds ok. Some nice moments here and there but ultimately pretty disjointed. I think I'll go listen to Deaf Center now." I just don't think Ulver have it in them to make a purely cohesive record that sounds like a whole rather than cobbled together parts.

June 12: brews, 'cue and wine too at Cafe Boulud
- 6:05 pm Thursday, May 30th, 2013 by M.M. Cloutier
Summer and barbecue, longtime cohorts, are all the better when craft beers, BBQ-friendly wines and savoir faire enter the equation.
That's the recipe for the upcoming "Wines & Brews & BBQ" party at Palm Beach's Café Boulud, 301 Australian Ave.
The timing is good—a few days before Father's Day—if you want to celebrate Dad a ltttle early with a four-couse beer-and-wine barbecue-themed tasting dinner.
At the June 12 event, Fran Andrelevich, owner of Tequesta Brewing Co., and Café Boulud's sommelier Mariya Kovacheva will pair some of their favorite craft beers and wines with a menu—including a barbebue trio—by Café Boulud's Chef Jim Leiken.

14 Pike Co EQIP Executive Summary
The USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Pike County, Alabama, will hold a sign-up for the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) for the 2014 Fiscal Year. This sign-up will be held on a continuous basis. Any eligible land user who has a resource concern or problem on pastureland, cropland, hay land, or forestland, may apply for assistance through this program.
Special arrangements for taking applications on the farm can be made by making an appointment with the District Conservationist. Applications may be made at the following location:
Pike County Service Center
22 Henderson Highway
Troy, Alabama 36079
Phone: 334-566-2300, Extension 3
Fax: 334-566-5332
Contact: District Conservationist
The USDA work group has prioritized the resource concerns in Pike County as follows:
All applications will be ranked using the Alabama NRCS state-wide EQIP ranking tool. Approvals will be given to those applications that will provide the greatest environmental benefits, i.e. those receiving the most environmental points. Practices providing the greatest economical and environmental benefits will be emphasized. Contracts will be developed for approved applications in order of descending environmental points, until all funds are obligated. Applications will be "batched" and ranked. The first batching period for ranking and prioritizing applications will be October 18, 2013, and additional applications filed later than this date will be considered in the next pool of funding if additional funds become available.
Limited Resource Farmers, New and Beginning Farmers, and Socially Disadvantaged Farmers will be paid at an increased payment rate.
Planned conservation practices used to address the priority resource concerns will come from the Alabama NRCS state list. Eligible practices, restrictions and payment rates are the same as those adopted by Alabama NRCS state-wide.

Research explores how exercise can protect against the harmful effects of chronic stress.
Think of a recent time you felt stressed. Maybe it was during an argument with your spouse, or a meltdown with your kids. Maybe you were stuck in traffic and late for an important meeting. Or maybe you were lying in bed, worrying about work. Whatever the cause of your stress, your body and brain were almost certainly experiencing the same thing: boiling blood pressure, a churning stomach, tight muscles and a racing mind.
We all recognize this feeling of stress. It's more than a mental state; it's a full-blown mind-body response. When stress takes hold, the brain is bathed in chemicals that heighten our senses and focus our attention, making it impossible for us to think about anything else. The sympathetic nervous system gets a jump-start, and stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol make us feel even more wired. Glucose and fats flood the bloodstream, and our cardiovascular and respiratory systems rev up, all to give us the energy we need to deal with the stress.
These changes would make sense if we were running for our lives or rescuing our child from a fire. But when everything from taxes to television news triggers a reactive response, stress becomes toxic. Chronic stress increases the risk for a wide range of health problems, in large part because the body's response to stress adds up over time (McEwen 2006). Chronic inflammation and sympathetic activation contribute to autoimmune disorders, chronic pain and cardiovascular disease. Elevated blood glucose and fat levels raise the risk of insulin resistance and diabetes. Chronic exposure to stress hormones suppresses the immune system, kills off brain cells and promotes obesity. When any unwanted physical or psychological condition is present, chances are that stress plays a role.
And yet, not everyone is equally susceptible. Some people seem to be protected from the worst effects of stress. These resilient folks handle stress better and recover from stress more quickly. Science is beginning to reveal the secrets of stress resilience and to learn what it looks like in the brain and body. It turns out we can measure stress resilience in the heart, the nervous system (which includes the brain) and even our DNA. We can also train resilience—even in the face of chronic stress.
This article explores the new biology of stress resilience, how it protects against stress-related diseases, and why exercise may be the best way to train it.
Exercise has shown tremendous promise as a neuroprotective intervention (Fleshner et al. 2011; Head, Singh & Bugg, 2012; McEwen 2012). Research has identified several ways that exercise protects the brain from stress—and even reverses the effects of chronic stress on the brain (Stranahan & Mattson 2012; Rothman & Mattson 2012). Exercise increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which maintains brain health, supports brain growth and combats the negative effects of stress. Exercise seems to enhance BDNF specifically in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, the two regions most susceptible to stress-related damage. Exercise also triggers the brain's self-repair processes, which may help reverse any stress-related neurotoxicity. Finally, exercise activates the brain's stress-calming system, releasing a neurotransmitter called GABA, which helps restore balance in the autonomic nervous system. When we exercise regularly, we naturally engage all of these neuroprotective processes. Over time, exercise can create a "stress-resistant" brain that is less sensitive to threat and recovers more quickly from stress (Fleshner et al. 2011).

TIME Magazine has just announced their "Person of the Year" is Donald Trump. Twitter users were quick to point out the striking similarities between this cover, shot by photographer Nadav Kander, and the Adolf Hitler cover from April 1941. Hitler was also named "Person of the Year" in 1938.
In both images the subjects are seated in chairs, but as Fader points out, notice the ominous shadow on the wall, and the way the colour of the backdrop complements the suit. For reference you can look through the past "Person of the Year" covers here.
Many are also suggesting that the "M" in TIME gives Donald Trump the appearance of having devil horns. Are people reading too much into this or were these intentional decisions? Have a look at both cover images below.

There's an app for that!
November 29, 2012 —
At the risk of sounding like a spokesperson for product placement, I love my iPad. The last week has been beyond delightful on so many levels, including (but not limited to) my ongoing love affair with technology. To be honest, I did not feel that I could live in the country full time until the Internet was available in the Upper Delaware Valley. Although slow to start, it is now in full swing. Being able to live in this environment and take advantage of all that the lifestyle has to offer, while being connected to the World Wide Web, is ideal.
Prior to preparing my traditional holiday confection, I checked the app store on my notebook and discovered a baker's dozen of free apps to aid me in my search for the perfect pie, including "Cupcake Heaven," "Tiny Chef," and "What's for Dinner?" That said, I eschewed being online for Thanksgiving and left my mobile devices at home, determined to enjoy the company and revel in an old fashioned holiday with friends. With a little help from said apps, I made an appetizer and a dessert (both were a hit, IMHO) and the conversation and convivial atmosphere provided by hosts Ramona Jan and Andre Turan was fantastic. On Friday, I had chocolate cream pie for breakfast and looked high and low for Dharma's Christmas outfit, since she had been asked to make an appearance at the annual James Dworetsky Holiday Parade in Jeffersonville, NY.
Empty handed and panicky, I checked for an app. Sure enough, "Image Mask Costume" and "Dress Your Dog" popped up and I breathed a sigh of relief, before finding her Santy suit buried in a closet. The parade, now in its 18th year, was a festively lit onslaught of holiday cheer, replete with floats, festooned fire trucks, candy canes and jolly fat men flinging treats to the kids, who shrieked with glee, shouting for a "pawtograph" as the wonder dog strutted her stuff down Main Street. Having discovered pages of parade apps, I made a mental note to download a few in my spare time and marched on.

Registered: 10/14/08
Posts: 1
Loc: Ottawa, Ontario
I was reading yesterday's "A-Word-A-Day." It discussed Noah Webster's efforts to simplify American English, spelling "colour" as "color" and so forth. I had heard of such things before and I remember thinking at the time that it seemed to be a very sensible ideaespecially as one who has suffered through school, being taught why there are so many unecessary letters in the word "taught." English is a product of many different languages and our words are fossils of this evolution, using letters that do not always accurately correspond to how the word is pronounced.
Hebrew is written phonetically. If you can read it, you can say it. My study of Hebrew has lead me to really appreciate phonetic spellings.
My question is simply this: Given English's place as the lingua franca of the world, would it be wiser to switch to a phonetic rendering of our words in order to make the language more logical and easier to understand?

Hebrew is written phonetically.
Not really. Unless it's the Tanakh (with its nikodoth), they leave off the vowels. In this sense, Italian or Spanish are more phonetic than Hebrew. A phonemically-based spelling system for English would be better than what we've got, but it's hardly likely to happen in our lifetime._________________________

I am in agreement: won't happen in our lifetime. And one might wonder when Spanish will be the 'lingua franca' of our world.
It certainly is becoming such in the USA. As a high school teacher I wish it would have been. Always took off for spelling, probably went through thousands of red pens._________________________

Thanks tsuwm:
I really appreciate it. You folks sure do know how to find things. And quickly. I knew there were a bunch and someone told me nine, but Wiki had ten.
Now it goes into my "little black book of useless things to talk about a cocktail parties", and just in time too.

The Inquirer Revises History Again
OK, I know I haven't been here in awhile. Maybe you're wondering what I've been up to all summer. Or maybe not.
A sizable chunk of my time has been devoted to keeping the peace between my offspring, ages 9 and 12, and preventing them from causing bodily harm to each other. Once they are back in school (my mental countdown has already begun!), I'll have time to sit and compose a longer entry.
A while back, I mentioned that the Philadelphia Inquirer had implied that there were 32 major league baseball teams.
Now they would have us believe that the Brewers, Astros, Rays, Padres, and Rockies have, at some time, actually won a World Series:
I imagine the fans of those five teams would love to know when, or in what alternate universe, that happened, because they missed it!
I'll assume that what they were trying to say was that those three teams have never even appeared in a World Series, but really, don't newspapers employ people to check these kinds of facts before they print them?

Hey Sue! Welcome back! I noticed you are being featured! Congratulaions!
Hey Emma! Thanks for the heads-up. Kind of surprising, considering I've been very inactive for most of the summer. And that's not even the current profile pic that I am using. Hmm. Now I feel like I better create a few more entries!


text: hi my baby is 13 lbs at 4 months.. she is breastfed and i work 4 or 5 days a week for only a few hours, she takes pumped milk then. My baby nurses for only about 6 minutes each feeding. before i found out she wasnt gaining i was letting her do that only on one side and she acted full so i assumed everything was ok. NOW the doctor is telling me after she nurses, pump for 5 minutes and give her the little bit of hindmilk that comes out. i switched all of her bottles to the early years breastflow and am giving her both breasts then pumping, im hoping this will help her gain. my question is.... how can i get her to stay at the breast for longer than 5 or 6 minutes ?? im so worried i dont want to have to switch to formula

In the early days of NASCAR, the clothing drivers wore during races was based mostly on one factor -- comfort.
In the car for hours at a time, and without the technology afforded to today's competitors, a driver's apparel often consisted of something he might wear on the street. Blue jeans were cheap and rugged, which made them a fine choice to wear in the 1950s. Many opted to pair jeans with simple T-shirts, usually related to their choice of automotive manufacturer or brand.
There were no fire suits, mandated gloves or helmets, although some drivers did choose to wear those items.
Tim Flock was one of the first drivers to wear what we consider to be a fire suit today. It wasn't called a fire suit in the 1950s, though, because it wasn't designed to combat fire. Flock's get-up, while resembling today's fire suits, was simply called a uniform. It was thin and had the same effect as wearing street clothes.
In the early days of NASCAR, the clothing drivers wore during races was based mostly on one factor -- comfort.
As those uniforms became more popular, the creation of the driving suit cooling liner was introduced. Modeled after technology used to keep Air Force pilots cool, the cooling liner -- which is available to view in the NASCAR Hall of Fame -- was made out of netting and had a hose connected to it.
With uniforms becoming more prevalent in the 1960s, drivers took to dipping their clothes in baking soda in an attempt to make them more fire resistant. Wholesale changes were to come, though, after the death of Fireball Roberts.
Roberts, who won 33 times in 206 races, was involved in a crash at the 1964 World 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Roberts' car ignited, and although the driver survived the crash and the ensuing flames, he died nearly six weeks later due to complications from the severe burns he suffered.
Fire suits and fuel cells quickly underwent a rapid transformation. No longer would NASCAR cars have the same fuel cell one would find in a street engine -- it was too prone to leaks if a car were to flip upside down, and it would sometimes rupture in hard crashes.
Developed in the 1960s, the rubberized fuel cell prevented fuel leakage and helped minimize the chance for ignition upon a crash.
Uniforms gave way to actual fire suits with the quickened development of a material called Nomex, a fiber developed by DuPont that serves as a fire retardant. Fire suits must meet NASCAR's strict standards of thermal protection performance to provide maximum protection before being approved.
When NASCAR's popularity began to soar nationally in the 1980s, fire suits became a unique way to display sponsorships as well. Although safety is still at the forefront, today's drivers wear fire suits that are custom-fitted, colorful and meticulously designed to accommodate a number of sponsors.

2010 Projects & Contract Extensions
Well, a week of spring training has gone by without my physical presence at a Grapefruit League game (now spiritually, that's another story). Luckily, hope is not lost; in fact,hope is never lost in spring training because of Alexander Pope's immortal words: "hope springs eternal". Everyone thinks they have a shot of making the playoffs, and everyone does. You never know what could happen throughout the course of the season. The most unlikely of heroes could emerge and carry his team to the playoffs. Spring Training is where it all begins.
ction last year as a September call-up. He also had a bit of a rude awakening (and I say rude because he was thrown into the bullpen–a totally different mentality–after being raised as a starter). Now, he's trying to regain his confidence. He will be the first guy to be called up when the Red Sox need an emergency starter or another arm in the bullpen.

"I can trespass without severe legal consequences" – LOL! Also, "religious obligations – MLB opening day" – too funny! I'm going to assume that you did not actually try to hand that in at school. Thanks for making me chuckle on what is a very gray, dreary, rainy day here in PA.
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Liking the format, not just concentrating on the now, but focusing on the future.
Also, that absence form is one of the best things I have ever seen. I'm doing my best to purloin my way out of school on Opening Day. I mean, Roy Halladay's first game as a Phillie. Not to mention, I'm in my senior year, already accepted to college, I have no reason to be in school.
Loved the absence form. Sounds like the people here in Alabama when football season starts.
I love reading your list on this year's projects! Are you sure you don't want to work in the minor league?
Wish I would have seen your absence form BEFORE I submitted my vacation slip for Opening Day! but the minute the I got the schedule I sumibtted the form my form to my boss.
Take a look at a picture of Red Sox Spring Training program from back when the Red Sox were part of the Cactus League that I posted in my latest entry.
Aaron Bates is the one who grabs my attention. The Sox are good at 1B….My Mets could definitely use a kid like him.
…if only. Great Note!! If you had presented that to me…I'd still let you skip out based on pure originality.
Im definitely going to use the religious excuse for when I'm out Monday for the Pirates' opener, but I'll probably be sent to a psychiatrist when I come back Tuesday.
I agree about Josh and Aaron. They both have had a great Spring Training. I wish they would offer Beckett a fifth year. Dice-K is annoying me and I have lost all hope for him with his latest setback.
I dont' think there should be school (or work) on Opening Day, either. At least pay me double time if I do have to work.
Good luck with your projects, this seems like a great way to keep track of these guys.
'Minoring In Baseball'
Another great post Elizabeth… now are you going to manage to hound these guys during the regular season, maybe get your first scoop this year….:-)
I remember those forms … ha ha. As good as a 'golden ticket' they were! When Casey Kelly was rumoured in the Roy Halladay trade, it made me upset that the Red Sox have another elite pitching prospect worth mentioning in a deal like that.
I hope to see him square off against Jays prospect, Kyle Drabek, a couple years down the road. The Jays can compare both pitchers, and see what they could have had in the Halladay deal. The similarities between the two are striking as they both have former MLB fathers, Doug Drabek and Pat Kelly.
THAT IS COOL MAN she MEET BUCHHOLZ.
