We were all walking the trail the other day, two of us pushing a stroller each with little one strapped in, two children walking and another one attempting to skate with his arms flailing about.
I tried not to look, because his movements made me nervous. My youngest was talking, talking, talking in between her moaning about the heat and her being tired. (Her patterned vocalizations were moan, observation, observation, loud groan and a whine, and any combination of the above.)
We were all tired, it was hot and I was not in the mood to focus on any kind of conversation. As much as she was moaning about the heat, I just wanted to transport myself back to the car. No breeze, 90-plus degrees and the air was thick at six in the evening.
I was dreaming of fall temperatures, a fan, sprinkler and a lounge chair while chomping on ice. She popped up with the question, "Mom, what is your favorite holiday?"
Without missing a beat, my daughter-in-law huffed out, "Monday through Friday during the school year."
My daughter tilted her head and looked quizzically, "That's not a holiday."
I love them, but from the moment they wake up to the time they fall asleep at night they are a flurry of activity stuck in high gear. I'm feeling outnumbered!
I read in Ecclesiastes the other day that two are better than one. I think it was Chapter 4, Verse 9 or so. It was a daily verse I just happened to read at a low point.
Tell me something I don't know! It felt like someone was mocking me, honestly. Then I had to remember that nothing is an accident. God does not make mistakes and I must keep my head up lest I drown. I can do this!
Pray for me, folks. Even with my oldest son stepping in occasionally, raising children is taxing at times and I hate for him to take time from his own children to help with his younger siblings, despite his assurances that he is willing to help.
What I do know is that I have to keep moving forward and leave the past behind or it will only come when I call upon it.
Philippians 3:13-14 says it like this: "Brothers, I don't regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
It's OK, too, to stop and take a break once in a while and I have to allow myself that.

(July 12, 1884 – January 24, 1920). Amedeo Clemente Modigliani was born into a Jewish family in Livorno, Tuscany, Italy, on July 12, 1884. Modigliani was the fourth child of Flaminio Modigliani and his French-born wife, Eugénie Garsin. His father was in the money-changing business, but when the business went bankrupt the family was forced to live in poverty. Young Modigliani was also beset by health problems after an attack of typhoid at the age of 14 followed by tuberculosis two years later. The tuberculosis would affect him for the rest of his life. Depression also ran in his family and Modigliani suffered from it as well. At least some of his siblings seemed to have also inherited his stubborn, independent streak. In 1898 his 26-year-old brother, Emmanuel, was sentenced to six months imprisonment as an anarchist.
In 1902, Modigliani enrolled in the Scuola libera di Nudo (Free School of Nude Studies) in Florence and a year later moved to Venice where he registered to study at the Istituto per le Belle Arti di Venezia. It is in Venice that he first tried hashish and, rather than studying, began to spend time frequenting the sleazy parts of the city. In 1906, Modigliani moved to Paris, the then focal point of the avant-garde, where he would become the epitome of the tragic artist, creating a posthumous legend almost as famous as that of Vincent Van Gogh. Settling in Le Bateau-Lavoir, a commune for penniless artists in Montmartre, he was soon busy painting, at first influenced by the work of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec until Paul Cezanne changed his views.
Eventually, Modigliani developed his own unique style, one that still cannot be adequately categorized with other artists. He is noted for his fast work, usually finishing a portrait in one or two sittings and never reworked. Yet, those who posed for him said that being painted by Modigliani was like having your soul laid bare. In 1909, Modigliani returned home to Livorno, sickly and worn out from his wild lifestyle. He did not stay in Italy long and soon he was back in Paris, this time renting a studio in Montparnasse. He had originally seen himself as a sculptor more than a painter, and he began sculpting seriously after Paul Guillaume, an ambitious young art dealer, took an interest in his work and introduced him to sculptor Constantin Brancusi. Although a series of Modigliani's sculptures were exhibited in the Salon d'Automne of 1912, for whatever reason he abruptly abandoned sculpting and focused solely on his painting. In Modigliani's art, there is evidence of him being influenced by primitive art from Africa and Cambodia which he probably saw in the Musée de l'Homme. This interest in African masks also shows in the treatment of the sitters' faces in his portraits. The sitter's faces appear ancient, almost resembling ancient Egyptian painting as they are flat and masklike, with distinctive almond eyes, pursed mouths, twisted noses, and elongated necks. Among his works is the portrait of his hard-drinking friend Chaim Soutine plus portraits of many of his other Montparnasse contemporaries such as Moise Kisling, Pablo Picasso, Diego Rivera, Juan Gris, Max Jacob, Blaise Cendrars, and Jean Cocteau. At the outset of World War I, he tried to enlist in the army but was refused because of his poor health. Perhaps knowing that for health reasons his life would be short, he carried a death wish, drinking continuously and consuming large quantities of drugs. Known as Modì by the art world, but as Dedo to his friends, Modigliani was an extremely handsome man to whom females were greatly attracted. Women came and went until Beatrice Hastings entered his life. She stayed with him for almost two years, was the subject for several of his portraits, including Madame Pompadour, and the object of much of his drunken wrath. Drunk, he was a bitter, angry person, always looking for a fight as was depicted in the famous drawing by Marie Vassilieff. Sober, he was graciously timid and charming, would quote Dante Alighieri and recite poems from Lautreamont's book, Les Chants de Maldoror, a copy of which he always carried with him. When the British painter Nina Hamnett arrived in Montparnasse in 1914, on her first evening there the smiling man at the next table in the café introduced himself as Modigliani, painter and Jew. They became great friends.
In 1916, Modigliani befriended the Polish poet and art dealer Leopold Zborovski and his wife Anna. Modigliani painted them several times, charging only 10 francs for a portrait. The following summer, the Russian sculptor Chana Orloff introduced him to a beautiful 18-year-old art student named Jeanne Hébuterne who had posed for Foujita. Jeanne came from a conservative bourgeois background and was renounced by her family, devout Roman Catholics, for her liaison with the painter, who in their eyes was nothing but a debauched derelict, and Jewish besides. Despite her family, soon they were living together and although Jeanne was the love of his life, their public scenes became even more famous than Modigliani's personal drunken exhibitions. On December 3, 1917, Modigliani's first one-man exhibition was opened at the Berthe Weill Gallery. The chief of the Paris police was scandalized by Modigliani's nudes and forced him to close the exhibition within a few hours after its opening. That same year, Modigliani received a letter from a former lover Simone Thirioux, a French-Canadian woman who informed him that she had given birth to his son. He never acknowledged the child as his but after moving to Nice with Hébuterne she became pregnant and on November 29, 1918 gave birth to a daughter whom they would also name Jeanne. While in Nice, a trip organized by Leopold Zborovski for Modigliani, Tsuguharu Foujita and other artists to try to sell their works to rich tourists, Modigliani managed to sell a few pictures but only for a few francs each. Despite this, during this time he produced most of the paintings that would ultimately become his most popular and valued works.
During his lifetime he sold a number of his works, but never for any great amount of money. What funds he did receive, soon vanished for drugs including alcohol. In May of 1919 he returned to Paris, where, with Jeanne and their daughter, he rented an apartment in the rue de la Grande Chaumière. While there, both Jeanne and Modigliani painted portraits of each other and of themselves. Although he continued to paint, by then his lifestyle had taken its toll and Modigliani's health was deteriorating rapidly, his alcoholic blackouts becoming more frequent. After not being heard from for several days by his friends, his downstairs neighbor checked in on them and found Modigliani delirious and in bed, holding onto Jeanne, who was nearly nine months pregnant. A doctor was summoned but there was little that could be done because Modigliani was suffering from tubercular meningitis. Modigliani died on January 24, 1920 without regaining consciousness. There was an enormous funeral, attended by many from the artistic communities in Montmartre and Montparnasse. Jeanne Hébuterne, who had been taken to her parents' home, threw herself out of a fifth-floor window two days after Modigliani's death, killing herself and her unborn child.

Creating a strong password
To keep your account safe, here are a few tips on how to create a strong password:Use a unique password for each of your important accounts
Many websites will also give you the option of answering a security question if you forget your password. If you can create your own question, try to come up with a question that has an answer only you would know. The answer shouldn't be something that someone can guess by scanning information you've posted online on blogs or social networking profiles. If you have to choose a question from a list of options, such as the city where you were born, try to find a way to make your answer unique by using some of the tips above. That way even if someone guesses the answer, they won't know how to enter it correctly.
Add an extra layer of security
Once you've created a password, you can add an extra layer of security by enabling 2-Step Verification. 2-Step Verification requires you to have access to your phone, as well as your username and password, when you sign in to your Google Account. This means that if someone steals or guesses your password, they still can't sign in to your account because they don't have your phone. Now you can protect yourself with something you know (your password) and something you have (your phone).

Rooks are the kings on this Sunday
Credit: AP
LOS ANGELES -- How to sum up the NFL Sunday of three rookie underdogs?
A feat, a feat, and a foot.
Feat: On the final play in Detroit, Indianapolis rookie Andrew Luck tossed a short pass to Donnie Avery, who raced untouched to the end zone for a 14-yard touchdown that capped a 35-33 victory by the Colts. It was Luck's fourth touchdown pass of the game and second in the final 2 minutes 47 seconds.
Feat: Never mind that Seattle was 1-5 on the road. The Seahawks pulled off a dramatic upset in Chicago when rookie Russell Wilson directed a touchdown drive on the opening possession of overtime. He secured a 23-17 win with a 13-yard scoring pass to Sidney Rice.
Foot: With St. Louis and San Francisco apparently headed for their second head-to-head tie of the season, a first in the Super Bowl era, Rams rookie Greg Zuerlein came through huge. With 26 seconds left in overtime, he split the uprights from 54 yards for a 16-13 victory. This after making a 53-yarder to force the extra period.
With the season rounding the clubhouse turn and heading into the stretch, a handful of first-year stars are making the difference for teams.
But there's room for journeymen to make a splash, too. Charlie Batch, Pittsburgh's 37-year-old third-string quarterback, led the Steelers to a 23-20 upset at Baltimore, keeping his team alive in the AFC North race.
That snapped a 15-game home winning streak by the Ravens, who still have a two-game division lead over Pittsburgh and Cincinnati with four games remaining.
Ben Roethlisberger, recovering from a shoulder injury, is expected to return next week. After Sunday's win, an emotional Batch hugged Roethlisberger and buried his face in his shoulder.
"Big necessary win for us tonight in a hostile environment," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. "We don't take that lightly."
Meanwhile, Seattle is making a run at San Francisco in the NFC West, with Wilson turning in a masterful performance against the Bears and building a strong case that he's not a quarterback who can only win at home.
"Just exquisite poise," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said of Wilson, who has nine touchdowns and zero interceptions in his last four games. "It's just extraordinary. There were so many plays in there where he had to do something special on the play, to move, to find a guy, to locate a receiver, and to use the right throw and the right decision in order to take off and run. He's just so beautifully poised and so confident."
The same can be said of Luck, who picked up his eighth victory of the season, the most by a rookie quarterback picked No. 1 overall. The Colts won only three times during Peyton Manning's rookie season.
"We've got a bunch of guys in the locker room that, maybe we don't know any better, we just keep playing," said Luck, whose team is 7-1 in games decided by a touchdown or less.
The young Colts might be learning as they go, but you're never too old or too experienced to learn. Consider the Rams' Jeff Fisher, as seasoned as any coach in the league.
Just three weeks ago, remember, the Rams and 49ers finished deadlocked, 24-24, after five quarters in San Francisco.
Sunday's game in St. Louis nearly ended at 13-13.
"Earlier in the week I was asked about what it's like to play a team within proximity of just recently playing them again in three or four weeks," Fisher said. "I think I said the games are completely different, so I apologize for being absolutely wrong. Wow."
There's still a quarter of the season left, but the playoff picture is beginning to take shape.
Denver clinched the AFC West with its 31-23 victory over Tampa Bay, and Atlanta locked up the NFC South by virtue of the Buccaneers' losing.
New England, which posted a 23-16 victory at Miami, won the AFC East for the 10th time in 12 seasons. Tom Brady became the first starting quarterback in league history to win 10 division titles.
Houston, with its 24-10 win at Tennessee, secured at least a spot in the playoffs and picked up its franchise-record 11th win.
"It's good to know we're in," Texans quarterback Matt Schaub said. "It's a great feeling to know that we've reached that goal, but we've got a lot more to accomplish."
Last season, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh famously rankled the Lions' Jim Schwartz by giving him a dismissive handshake and aggressive slap on the back after San Francisco won in Detroit.
Sunday, another Harbaugh had a similar exchange, only he was the gracious one.
Baltimore's John Harbaugh, Jim's older brother, greeted Tomlin at midfield and offered his congratulations. The Steelers coach gave him the brush-off with a quick thanks, even after Harbaugh tried to hang on to the handshake, pulling him back with an irked, "Hey, hey, I said congratulations."
"Thank you. Good job," Tomlin said quickly, pulling away for good.
Definitely no love lost there.
It could be the end of the road for Mark Sanchez with the New York Jets.
He was pulled late in the third quarter of Sunday's home game against Arizona and replaced by third-stringer Greg McElroy. Backup Tim Tebow is recovering from two broken ribs.
McElroy directed the Jets' only scoring drive of the day, and capped it with a one-yard touchdown toss to Jeff Cumberland. That was all the Jets needed in their 7-6 victory.
After the game, coach Rex Ryan had a private conversation with Sanchez at the quarterback's locker. Of making the switch in the game, Ryan said: "I thought I needed to make a change." The coach didn't say which quarterback would start Sunday against Jacksonville.
Despite a 210-yard rushing performance by Minnesota's Adrian Peterson, Green Bay beat the Vikings, 23-14, to claim a share of the NFC North lead with Chicago.
The Bears took a step back with their loss to Seattle, so it was the Seahawks who did the Packers a favor. It was earlier this season, remember, when Green Bay lost at Seattle on a controversial Hail Mary touchdown.
"I can't say there are many Seattle fans in the locker room," Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Sunday with a slight smile. "But we appreciate the help."

From a one-man office in Washington, D.C., Adam Schafer '96 has the potential to affect water quality of the Great Lakes, greenhouse gas emissions in New England and climate change in the West.
Schafer helps shape policy in state legislatures across the country as executive director of the National Caucus of Environmental Legislators (NCEL). About 700 state legislators from 50 states are members of the nonpartisan caucus—roughly 10 percent of all state legislators—and they rely on Schafer for strategies and information so they can propose and pass environmentally beneficial legislation. He receives some help from consultants, but takes primary responsibility for grant-writing, member recruitment, research, education and organizing meetings. In the past five months, he's traveled to 16 states.
"The goal is to provide updates on forthcoming policies at the state and federal levels and propose ideas for legislation," say Schafer. "These legislators want to be up-to-date and proactive on 'green' issues but most do not have enough staff to assist them."
One major project that Schafer worked on was the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Water Resources Compact, designed to protect these important bodies of water. To implement the compact, all eight bordering states had to pass identical legislation without changes or amendments. It was signed into law during 2007 and 2008 legislative sessions. "This required NCEL educating and updating our legislators in these states and asking them to take the lead in ratifying it without changes," says Schafer.
Now Schafer's priorities include initiatives in New England and western states related to capping emissions of greenhouse gases and addressing climate change. He recently held a meeting in Portland, OR, for members of the Western Climate Initiative.
While at North Central, Schafer majored in political science and sociology, and recalls the important influences of David Frolick, professor of political science emeritus, and two former sociology professors, Doug Timmer and Kathryn Talley, who "shaped my worldview." Other important experiences were participating in Model UN and spending a semester in Washington, D.C. After graduation, Schafer returned to his home state of Montana and worked on state legislative campaigns. By 2000, he was running the state legislative campaign committee for the Democratic Party in Montana. In 2001, his connections to Washington, D.C., resulted in learning about the caucus, which was in need of a part-time director. The position soon became full time and along the way, Schafer has become passionate about the environment, an interest he never realized would become so important to his career and life.
"After years of dealing with these issues, now it's clear to me that the way we produce and use energy is crucial to our future."

"I have been listening to you on EWTN for about a year now. I left the Catholic Church 42 years ago. After many struggles during this last year, I finally went to confession on Sunday. I cannot begin to explain how excited I am to be home. Thank you so much for helping me on my journey home."
"It must be understood that the bishop is in the Church and the Church in the bishop and he is not in the Church who is not with the bishop."

Graham Nash isn't ashamed to say he was impressed with Wild Tales: A Rock & Roll Life.
"I got to the end of the manuscript, and I looked down, and I thought, '(Wow), I wish I was him,'" said the 71-year-old singer-songwriter, a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee with the Hollies and with Crosby, Stills & Nash.
"But in looking back over my life in one piece," he added of the memoir, which was released in September, "it was stunning to even me what I've done in my life."
Nash — who has carved out acclaimed careers in painting, photography and social activism — is a native of Blackpool, England.
As a songwriter, he can point to a discography that features some of the most revered songs in pop-music history — from the Hollies' Carrie-Anne (1967) to Crosby, Stills & Nash favorites such as Marrakesh Express (1969).
His extensive activism includes co-founding Musicians United for Safe Energy.
He moved to the United States in 1968 and is an American citizen.
All aspects of his life are covered in Wild Tales (Crown Archetype, 368 pages, $28) — which includes frank accounts of his drug use; love affairs with Joni Mitchell and others; and the volatile interpersonal dynamics of his partnerships with David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Neil Young.
"It feels tell-all but not in a smutty way," Nash said from a solo-tour stop in Rhode Island.
The book includes generous amounts of the profanity that laces his everyday conversation.
He had been approached to write a memoir for many years, Nash said. The offers came especially fast after Crosby's first autobiography was published in 1988.
"I thought people did autobiographies when they were 90 or something," Nash said. "But, especially after Crosby's two attempts, people said, 'Come on, you can do this.'"
The person whose opinion mattered most to Nash was Crosby's.
The two met in 1968 at a fortuitous moment: Nash was becoming dissatisfied with the Hollies, and Crosby had left the Byrds.
"He saved my life," Nash said. "He came to England and said: 'These guys don't want to record your songs? (Screw) 'em! Let me introduce you to this guy' — and it was Stills."
That was the beginning of a close friendship between Crosby and Nash, who in addition to their work in Crosby, Stills & Nash — and, with Neil Young, as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young — have also recorded four albums as a duo. Nash has stood by Crosby through musical highs and personal lows that have included debilitating drug addictions, Type 2 diabetes and a liver transplant in 1994.
Nash pulls no punches about their relationship, and he admits he wondered whether he went too far.
"But he called me and said: 'I read it. Everything there is true,'" Nash said. "So Crosby was totally fine with it — which pleased me."
There might be more to Wild Tales.
"There's a thousand more stories," Nash said.
His plans include another photography book, a follow-up to Eye to Eye (2008), and he has current or upcoming exhibitions in Bonn, Germany; Boston; and Stone Harbor, N.J. He also has more than three dozen new songs in hand — enough for an album.

/ 2011 Lower St. Francis MRBI Project
Loading Tree...
The Lower St. Francis - Mississippi River Basin Initiative (MRBI) Project is a voluntary program that provides financial and technical assistance to agricultural producers for addressing water quality concerns in the Lower St. Francis watershed. The project area encompasses 169,611 acres.
The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in partnership with the Crittenden County Conservation District has received funding for the initiative. This funding is available for landowners in portions of Crittenden, Cross and St. Francis counties.
Collaborating partners are the University of Arkansas, Division of Agriculture; Arkansas Natural Resources Commission; Arkansas Association of Conservation District; Cross County Conservation District; and St. Francis County Conservation District.
The goal of the project is to reduce nutrient loss from agricultural land in four adjacent 12-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) watersheds in the Lower St. Francis Watershed by improving nutrient use efficiency and reducing runoff. Nutrient use efficiency will be gained by using variable rate fertilizer application rate technology. Reduced runoff will be gained by improved irrigation water management. Erosion control will also be accomplished by controlling runoff through land-leveling, planting cover crops and using residue and tillage management.
Funding will be available to eligible landowners through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). NRCS will provide cost-share for a variety of conservation practices for the purpose of reducing the amount of nutrient runoff and soil erosion associated with agricultural production. Land and producer eligibility, adjusted gross income, and all other program criteria for participation in EQIP must be met to participate in this initiative. Agricultural lands are eligible for enrollment in the initiative.
NRCS and associated conservation partners will deliver this program collaboratively. Applications may be obtained and filed with the Natural Resources Conservation Service at:
329 Residue and Tillage Management, No Till
340 Cover Crop
345 Residue and Tillage Management, Mulch Till
410 Grade Stabilization Structure

exciting learning experiences for students. The expertise
and enthusiasm that each partner brings to the table is

Union Elementary School principal won't be back
MONTPELIER — Union Elementary School Principal Owen Bradley will resign at the end of this school year.
School board Chairwoman Sue Aldrich said Bradley has worked with the district since 2010 and has had his contract renewed in the past.
Administrator contracts in the district last for one year at a time.
School board member Lowell VanDerlip said the board held two executive sessions this year in which it discussed the issue. He said the board used a "personnel" exemption in the state open meetings law to keep the discussions private. Boards can talk privately about certain aspects of employees, such as their contracts, evaluations and disciplinary or dismissal actions.
School board members declined to elaborate on details of the case.
The resignation comes before Superintendent Brian Ricca was able to issue a recommendation on whether to renew Bradley's contract, VanDerlip said.

Walker says right-to-work would be distraction
Right-to-work legislation passed in Michigan
Gov. Scott Walker said he won't pursue right-to-work legislation in Wisconsin like what passed this week in Michigan because he believes it would be a "huge distraction" to job creation efforts.
Walker was asked Wednesday about whether he would push to make Wisconsin a right-to-work state on the heels after his proposal in 2011 that effectively ended collective bargaining for most public workers.
Walker said introducing a right-to-work bill could lead to massive protests like what happened last year over the collective bargaining bill. He said those protests and the recall elections that followed created uncertainty for job creators.
Walker said, "The last thing I want to do is create the sense of uncertainty out there."
Walker stopped short of saying he would veto a right-to-work bill should it pass.

I have been EPing for almost a year. I never thought I would make it so far. I know that if I was nursing my DS, I would probably let him self-wean, but I just don't want to pump forever. I have learned so much from these forums, and I feel that I know what I need to do next time to bring my baby to the breast and have a good breastfeeding relationship.
I want to do this very gradually. I would like to completely stop pumping at around 18 months or so, and I would really like to TTC around that time too. I know with how much milk I am pumping now, the chances of getting pregnant are very slim. Here is some information on my situation:
From about 6 weeks to 9 months I pumped 6 times a day, and pumped about 65 ounces a day. At around 9 months, I cut down to 5 pumping sessions a day, but I still pump 60 ounces a day. In the next couple months I would like to cut down to 3 sessions and about pump 20-25 ounces. Even with all the milk I have donated, I still have a freezer stash of about 840 ounces. Maybe I can stretch that out so that he can get my milk until 19 or 20 months. He is still drinking 25-30 ounces a day, but we are finally getting him to drink very diluted juice (25%) from a straw cup, and he is cutting back gradually. He has 3 hearty meals of solids and a few snacks. I want to very gradually introduce him to some organic cow's milk in a few months.
So... my questions. What is the best way to do this? How long should I wait between cutting out pumping sessions? Right now I pump at 6:30am, 11am, 4pm, 7pm and 10pm. I would like to cut out the 7pm session and then the 11am session. I guess I'm just looking for any good advice from pumping mamas who have done this before, or have cut out pumping sessions. I don't want to end up with mastitis.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by TeeShirt excellent quality Originally, I ordered the size large and when I washed them once they shrunk to about a medium. I was disappointed to say the least. However, the T-shirt was well made and of excellent quality. The Vermont Country Store contacted me after I wrote a review identifying how they shrunk. The customer service rep told me to go ahead and return them, I asked for an exchange from Large to X-large. This was pretty painless and I had my new t-shirts in x-large in a few days. I washed those and they shrunk to a large which fits me perfectly. These are comfortable and quality t-shirts and they have a great elastic no wrinkle collar. I highly recommend them but, you need to order the next size up and wash them once for proper fit. More importantly, at least to me, I found The Vermont Country Store's customer service top notch!

I need some advice on how to deal with this sensitive subject.
My 3 month old girl weighs around 13 lbs (I think), and is exclusively bottle fed breast milk. On the days my hubby or I'm with her she eats about 25-28 oz total (6-7 4 oz bottles), and on the days my mom watches her (3 days a week) she's already had 25 oz by the time I get home from work! And she usually eats 2x more in the evening before bedtime. She also seems to spit up a lot more these days too.
I've already talked to her and told her I was concerned that she was spitting up so much, and to try to not feed her as much. Nothing has changed. I already had an incident where she fed her rice cereal without my knowledge (?!?!?) after I explicitly told her I was going to wait to ask the ped. at her 4 month checkup. I already had to have a talk with her about that, so now she calls me and asks for 'permission' to feed her more when she's acting fussy, but I'm not there to see her behavior to know if she's really hungry or not.
Has anyone had experience with this? How can I address the situation without hurting her feelings? I don't want to say 'Mom you don't know how to read her cues'.
Also, she seems to think she's teething already (I seriously doubt she is) and decided to give her orajel/tylenol on occasion on top of this whole thing. Honestly, I just a have a fussy baby that has difficulty napping and I think overstimulation/overtiredness is the root of the problem. Sigh, I don't know what to do. I know she loves her and wants her to be happy but I don't want an overfed/medicated baby either!
Thanks for letting me vent! I appreciate any input if you've gone through this yourselves.

- AFBF: EPA regulations threaten family farms
- Chesapeake Bay concerns
The coming changes from EPA threaten the continued operation of family farms and ranches, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.
In just the last three years, the Environmental Protection Agency has set in motion a significant number of new regulations that will significantly change the face of agriculture.
The coming changes threaten the continued operation of family farms and ranches, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.
Testifying Nov. 17 on behalf of AFBF before the House Small Business Subcommittee on Agriculture, Energy and Trade, Carl Shaffer, president of the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau, said EPA proposals to exert greater regulatory control over agriculture will drive up the cost of producing food, fiber and fuel.
"EPA proposals are overwhelming to farmers and ranchers and are creating a cascade of costly requirements that are likely to drive individual farmers to the tipping point," Shaffer said. "The overwhelming number of proposed regulations on the nation's food system is unprecedented and promises profound effects on both the structure and competitiveness of all of agriculture."
"In contrast to EPA's heavy-handed approach of issuing crushing regulatory burdens, agriculture and the Agriculture Department have worked together over the last few decades to make enormous strides in agriculture's environmental performance by adopting a range of conservation practices and environmental measures," Shaffer said.
Shaffer owns and operates a wheat, corn and green bean farm in Columbia County, Pa., located in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.

Vermonter is close to the front on gun control
BARRE A former Barre woman is in the center of the national gun debate, living one street away from the home of Sandy Hook, Conn., shooter Adam Lanza and working to organize supporters of increased gun control.
Po Murray was born in South Korea but moved to Plainfield and then Barre as a youngster. She graduated from Spaulding High School in 1985 and went on to the University of Vermont. She and her husband moved to Connecticut because, she said, they wanted to be near a city but were afraid to live in New York.
Her four children, now 11 to 18 years old, all went to Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, the community where Lanza killed 27 others, including 20 young children, in December.
Murray said that tragedy compelled her to do something about gun violence. A self-described news junkie, she said she had seen an increase in mass shootings and was angry with herself for not speaking up about gun violence until it hit close to home.
In her effort to do something, Murray became a vice chairwoman of the Newtown Action Alliance, a group of local residents who are trying to partner with other organizations working toward the same goal.
Murray said the group supports Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloys recent proposal on gun control, which called for requiring background checks in all gun sales, strengthening the states existing assault weapons ban, banning ammunition magazines holding more than 10 rounds, promoting secure gun storage and improving the enforcement of existing laws.
She said the group also supports Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthals proposal for background checks on those looking to buy ammunition.
A Quinnipiac poll last week found that 93 percent of those queried in Connecticut support universal background checks for gun sales, including 89 percent of voters in households where there are guns.
To accomplish its goals and get the legislation it wants nationally, Murray said, her group is looking for other people and groups around the country that feel the same way it does. She encourages anyone in support of more gun control to contact her group and write to their local, state and federal representatives to let them know how their constituents feel.
Murrays group is not without its detractors. She said Newtown is the home of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearms industry trade association, which hosts one of largest gun shows in the country. She said it and the National Rifle Association are a well-oiled machine and get supporters to meetings and rallies with ease.
To those arguing against stricter gun legislation because it would supposedly infringe on Second Amendment rights, Murray said her group is not trying to take peoples guns away. She said she learned to shoot when she was in sixth grade and that her husband comes from a family of hunters.
She said she supports hunting and the right to protection but is not sure anyone needs the kind of weapon used by Lanza, the Bushmaster AR-15. The Hartford Courant reported last week that Lanza fired 152 shots in five minutes.

I've never been able to work out why only Corgis are allowed to be gas fitters. Our Keeshond can out-flatulate any Corgi ever born, and she's not allowed to touch the pipes! Wouldn't let her near the central heating, but.

Wull. Corgis are little squat thangs, only about half as high as keeshonds, mehbe two-thirds at most. Ya gots be little like that if you're gonna go crawling around under the house where all them gas pipes are. Besides, the cleanup on the keeshond after all that crawling around in the dirt would be a real nightmare. The corgi's got mostly relatively short hair. Ya gots ta look at the big picture, Pfranz. Jeesh!

Wouldn't this be an appropriate moment to note that a couple of weeks ago we were in on "flatulopetic"? So I guess that would describe them Corgis (or Keeshonds).

Price Field Office
|Release Date: 11/29/12
Desolation-Gray Canyons River Permit System Converting to Online Reservations
Price , Utah—Beginning with the 2013 boating season, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) river permitting system for the Desolation and Gray Canyons on the Green River will change for private boaters from a first-come-first-served, call-in reservation process to an online lottery reservation process on the Recreation.gov website.
The conversion to Recreation.gov will provide private boaters wishing to visit Desolation and Gray Canyons with a more streamlined and convenient process for seeking a river permit, as well as increased flexibility for adjusting group sizes and getting launch reservations. Staff at the BLM-Utah Price Field Office will continue to provide personalized customer service specifically related to river conditions or trips.
Under the new Recreation.gov system, starting on Dec. 1, 2012,at 12:01AM eastern time, private boaters will have until Jan. 31, 2013 at 11:59 PM eastern time, to submit an application to the online lottery for launch dates occurring between May 1, 2013, and Sept. 30, 2013. Also starting on Dec. 1, private boaters will be able to reserve launches for l dates before May 1 and after Sept. 30 on Recreation.gov.
Any person over the age of 18 is welcome to submit a lottery application, and each applicant can request up to four possible launch dates. There will be a $6 application fee for each lottery application or launch reservation. Applicants receiving a launch reservation will have until March 15, 2013 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time, to confirm their reservation by paying the special recreation permit fee of $25 per person. All remaining fees will be due 30 days before the launch. A launch reservation is not a river permit. A river permit will only be issued after all fees have been paid.
Questions regarding this permit system and reservation change should be directed to Matt Blocker at (435) 636-3631 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

Best Razors 8/29/11
Whether it's a skirt or a sleeveless top during the summer, women give razors a real workout. Liza Barth
"I just like the feeling of smooth legs. I don't like the feeling that they're rough."
Melissa Valentino "I shave my legs almost every day, year-round and in the summer especially."
Does buying a more expensive razor guarantee a close, smooth shave? To find out, Consumer Reports ShopSmart recruited 18 women to test five razors. There were two from Schick, as well as two Gillette Venus razors - plus a store-brand razor from C-V-S. They cost five to 13 dollars - not all that much. But it's important to factor in the cost of the replacement heads.
Lisa Lee Freeman "The replacement shaving heads for the Gillette Venus Embrace cost three dollars and 25 cents each, at least. The store-brand replacement shaving heads cost only 83 cents each."
To ensure a clean shave with no nicks, a blade should be changed frequently, so this cost can really add up. To test, the panelists used each razor twice - replacing the shaving head between uses.
Melissa Valentino "I like the razor with the heavier handle. I felt I didn't need to apply as much pressure to get a close, smooth shave."
Elizabeth Duque, "I like the razors that were lighter in weight, more than the heavier ones."
"No one razor stood out. It turns out it's all about personal preference. So our advice is do your own test at home and start with the cheapest razor first."

- The theta-z relation for HST bulges and disks out to z similar or equal to 0.8

- Abstract
- We present HST scale lengths and ground-based redshifts for 63 faint field galaxies down to 1 ≲ 21.5 mag from the Medium-Deep Survey. These have measured redshifts z ≲ 0.8 and half-light radii 0″.1 ≲ re, rs ≲ 5″. We present the Θ-z relation for r1/4-bulges and exponential disks separately for world models with q0 = 0.0-1.0. We show that selection against low surface brightness galaxies in the HST images and ground-based spectra is comparable to that in local surveys. We compare our HST disk-dominated galaxies to a magnitude-limited subsample of the ESO-Uppsala local spirals. Extrapolating the best-fit local exponential disk scale length (rs = 3.5 kpc for H0 = 75) out to z = 0.8, we find a rather symmetrical distribution of HST disks around this value. This implies that galaxy disks have been stable since z ≃ 0.8. We compare our HST bulge-dominated galaxies with r1/4-profiles to a magnitude-limited subsample of local Seven Samurai ellipticals. The latter have a local best fit re = 5.7 kpc. Our HST bulge sample shows a similar distribution for z ≲ 0.8. Elliptical galaxy scale lengths have thus also remained rather constant since z ≲ 0.8. We set limits to their possible evolution.

Britney you're gonna -- Brittany. Let's see how Brittany does is. Our first question according to a survey of single women 60% of single women have what. More than one guy at the same time. Accepted gifts from. Chris and says it's in the unique perhaps as many people as -- and you get as many guesses he can in use on tell him about the other ones are you talking in code and like sexual things not sexual guess. And diamonds -- Dow's best and -- and I goes best friends sex toys meet me what kind of me sect who would be good gift. -- and we have to go look. My girls from Sex and the City in -- -- then probably is -- Ascap and that I haven't really met a guy with big enough. Parents. -- me on so we'll find out the -- and that's -- again. Mean. And ourselves under a popular. The answer is dated David is the answers and you survey by the jobs website -- story dot -- this 2% of workers. Say their top. New Year's resolution. For 2013.

I'm getting a boss fired would be the New Year's resolution for 2000 -- team getting the guys in the woman and via office. I'd question for Brittany according to a study by Hebrew University of Jerusalem people's faces look very similar when there and extreme pain. And when there having -- it. Orgasm. Past the -- them. Play their pain it's all the same no matter where -- primary -- is so orgasm is the best lead you can have asked me the same. Has anybody ever thought you were having an orgasm but you were really in pain. And even comments boyfriend he'll probably tell you about that that's I can say about that. Well the answer is indeed intense pleasure. From Maine who may have the most annoying noise in the history of voices UMass is tired pretty rally and apparently hero very very marry -- -- Hot fusion have been pouring shots touches on intoxicated and I've gone let's get to the answers. From the other -- cage match to participate and just a few moments ago Brittany. From U mass lol got one out of three questions right. We right now going to see. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I guess you probably wouldn't call yourself the lol pretty permit that was taken assets appropriately as -- dollars -- in my thrust into it that far right. What's -- question number one for Julia 86% of men would be willing to data points are but only 61% of men would watch -- out of. Lee data strip and against Sampras identity and yes service say daddy and then fronts as fresh and their death land a lot of Nancy is if you worry dance and what would your go to move being the verdict that says that as negatively. I'll then you know like when you make -- seeks class booting -- not then. -- of the highlights for this year for me was when Omar probably about the booty pop. During the odd couple segments. Mom and pop also a part of the talent competition tonight -- at this lingerie pageant but the answer is marry one. 86%. Would date a porn star but only 61% of men would Mary one from a new Harvard study. Black men are considered it the most. What -- And then penis us from what I hear and they you Obama as he used to. No black that's -- to -- and honestly. I have a show of hands it. Have you ever had sexual relations with an African American. But have as she's not that you know the first sign of a racist is someone who has a friend who -- sex with a black person. They. Have spent I have to exit acting. Out. My goodness and she says she loved -- I'm not racists. My my wife this is Spanish. -- Terrorism masculine and attractive. To women. But I think we understand now based on that while Obama got the female sure sure Victorian scenario is that Clinton was -- -- a media a 100% of men. And 90% of women. Have looked at someone and immediately thought. -- That's. What I see big back in it's like he's definitely ugly because he's a big fat. And I just don't like if people at all and men and their growth and Factiva I had just I'd just like them and then. What do you think it would sound like to have sex with they have the men. And crowded discussed some and a lot of finances and it's saving having done like brute. Andy Andy -- and I know would be as violent as the. She was in the the fact guy because he beat -- would maker and -- I think decently he closed after -- in -- leave. And -- The people in this country that it's on are the other hand me. And it. That's accepted everywhere. Ito to bully the fat people think -- societies. And -- 92% of women and 100%. Of men. 100%. Of men have looked at somebody and immediately thought I want to. Have sex with them -- that is the proper -- there so -- end -- being right Julia I did not get any of those questions. And Brittany -- congratulations to Mindy she's the winner today during coed cage match.

3 Components of a Foundation of Purposeful Leadership
Originally published: 05.01.13 by Wade Mayfield
Many books, seminars, classes, and schools are solely devoted to leadership. Leadership is a tough subject to fully comprehend or distill into its most basic form. What I have found through reading leadership books and going to leadership seminars and classes is that many people, if not most, miss one of the most important elements of leadership. It's what I call purposeful leadership. All too often we confuse planning, strategy, and initiatives for actual leadership. This is not leadership in its truest form. Leadership in its truest form is leading. It is being out in front; making decisions, coaching, teaching, doing something; or, better yet, being purposeful.
The plan, strategy, or initiatives don't actually do anything. They are a compilation of ideas, a road map to what drives leadership, but they should never be confused for actual leadership. This would be like your favorite football team calling a play in the huddle and never snapping the ball. Unfortunately, this happens all the time in business.
Here are three key factors that will set the foundation for Purposeful Leadership.
1. Risk
There is no risk in creating a plan, strategy, or initiative. You can sit in
2. Confrontation
One of the main reasons a lot of great plans fall short or die a slow, painful death is the avoidance and dislike of confrontation. One of the main problems in business is that because it is often misused or done poorly, confrontation carries a negative connotation. But effective leaders understand that in order to lead, you have to confront the issues driving your company's success. Let me clue you in on something — if you yell and scream at people rather than calmly having a discussion, you are not a purposeful leader. Purposeful leaders use every opportunity to coach, and the best way to coach is by mastering confrontation. Confrontation is a test of your problem-solving ability.
The first step in handling confrontation is candor, the act of being honest with people while leaving dignity in place. Confrontation takes on its negative connotation when we let the problem go on too long. When we don't address something, we get more and more disappointed in the actions of someone who has no idea what it is they are doing wrong because we haven't confronted the problem. We let the problem build and build until anger takes hold, and then it becomes a negative confrontation. And when that happens, we want to find someone, some person, to blame for the problem. What we should have been doing is using our problem-solving abilities to find out where in the process the problem occurred. Was it training, direction, instructions not well stated or understood, the process itself? When you use candor and confront problems proactively, you will focus on the process that created the problems, correct them with help from the people involved, and set new and clear expectations that can be followed up and measured.
3. Coaching
Leaders are born, not made. I can't tell you how many times I have heard this get tossed around and debated. I've heard it so much that I actually started to hear myself use this in conversations, and found it to be a fruitless debate and discussion.
Here is the best answer I can give to this debate. If you ever watch basketball, you will appreciate this analogy. Some basketball players are born with a natural jump shot. Some basketball players are born with an average jump shot. Both players will have a better jump shot with coaching and practice. All too often, we expect people to just understand what it takes to be a good leader rather than helping and coaching both the natural and average leaders to be even better. The bottom line is, everyone improves when coached. Harold S. Geneen said, "Leadership cannot really be taught. It can only be learned." The purpose of coaching is to guide rather than to tell.
Now that we have looked at some common problems and misconceptions in regards to leadership, we can move onto the qualities purposeful leaders portray. In the next article, we will explore practical applications that will help you become a more purposeful leader.

Dynamics of Success
In order to truly understand and maintain the principals of long-standing success, one must first grasp the fundamental concept that success is not based on individual performance, but rather the commitment to success through teamwork. This is a very easy concept to grasp in theory, but the failing and difficulty for most is in the application of success through teamwork.

April 24, 2013 —
Beginning January 1, 2014, every prospective employee in the Town of Liberty will undergo a background check before being hired.
This new policy was discussed at the April 15 meeting of the Liberty Town Board. "We already do a drug test and a sex offender check, but that's easy because there's a national registry of sex offenders," supervisor Charlie Barbuti said. "We hire a lot of kids in the summer to work with children at our parks and recreation summer camp. A background check is not that expensive to do and our insurance company likes it when you have that policy, even though the government doesn't require it."
The town has already hired its 2013 summer employees. Original estimates put the cost at $100 per employee, which would have a substantial financial impact on the town, said Barbuti. But there is another supplier that will do the check at a cost of $10 per new hire.
The board also voted to keep its meetings at the town office building at 120 N. Main Street in Liberty. Last year, the board went "on the road" to Parksville, Ferndale and White Sulphur Springs. "We never had the turnout we have here," said Barbuti, "and it's a lot of effort to move the meeting."
Barbuti also provided an update on the New York State Department of Transportation (DOT) work on the Route 17 Exit 100 Interchange bridges over the Middle Mongaup River. He reported that, while he would prefer the work be completed by Memorial Day weekend, the DOT is on target to reopen the area by their scheduled completion time of the July 4 weekend. The Exit 100 off-ramp onto Sullivan Avenue is currently closed with a suggested detour of Exit 101. The on-ramp will be closed on April 22, and a detour will lead drivers to the on-ramp at Interchange 99.
In other news, Barbuti reported on the availability of mulch for Town and Village of Liberty residents due to the highway department's tree cleanup. Mulch can be picked up at the highway department at 2751 Route 52 West on the way to White Sulphur Springs, open Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
The board also conducted a lengthy discussion, but did not vote on the issue of zoning. No decision was made on whether to use the 1987 or the 2011 zoning map as the template from which to make changes.
"What we're wrestling with is, do we fix the zoning that we currently have, or do we think that has too many problems and we go back to the prior zoning of 2011, when they changed the map and the chart of uses, which lists what you're allowed to do in the different zones," said Barbuti.
The board will revisit the issue and expects to make some decisions after the May 6 meeting.
