I'm not sure if this really fits under the relactation section, but I'll let you ladies be the judge.
I have been breastfeeding for about 5-6 months and was struggling with a low milk supply for months and tired nearly everything available to bring it back up. After months of trying with no luck I made the decision to quit breastfeeding and switched to formula. I did that for a week but the engorgement was so bad that I couldn't stand it, so I started nursing again. I started off early drinking the lactation tea and taking More Milk Plus 4 times a day and pumping. I'm 2 days into my renewed nursing and I am getting absolutely nothing.
My daughter now refuses to nurse at all because there is no milk coming out, so I've been giving her bottles of formula and pumping every two hours. My nipples hurt bad from the pumping and I pump about 15-20 minutes on a double pump but absolutely nothing is coming out. Everytime I try to nurse my daughter she resists to the point that all I have to do is put her on the nursing pillow and she cries. I am at wits end here. I do not want to give this up again, but i don't know what to do. Can somebody please, please help me? I really want to make this work!

By Marc Fisher, Region 5 Regional Emergency Management Specialist
Being a parent is a tough but rewarding job; for single parents the job is a bit tougher, but just as rewarding. Being a single dad means that my two boys are wholly depended upon me and the decisions I make, for better or worse. Often the default parent for care is mom, but as more and more fathers (self included) become involved in their children's lives these norms are being challenged.
Fathers can be equally tasked and are capable of caring for children throughout the parenthood spectrum. Because of this, one issue that is always concerning for me is preparedness and if we (my children and I) are reasonably prepared for disaster. Being an emergency manager one might think that I am extremely prepared like the survivalists seen on television shows. Unfortunately, the reality is like many others today, my challenge is preparing alone. I cannot afford a bunker to take refuge in if needed and I don't have a generator to power my home if I lose power; in reality I'm like every other parent out there and I must make do with the items within my means.
Many of my friends ask me what a single dad and emergency manager do to prepare his family? My answer is to create a culture of preparedness in my family by utilizing teaching points as often as possible, practicing and making preparedness fun and routine. It's pretty easy and anyone can do it. It just takes remembering the final goal, moving along the spectrum from completely unprepared (winging it) to having an idea of what you will do in different situations. It doesn't cost much to have a plan, but its priceless when planning ahead works when needed.
Preparing on the Cheap
Getting prepared doesn't require a trip to a bank or raiding your kid's college fund. Preparedness is as simple as having a plan, writing it down, discussing it as a family and placing it somewhere safe (and accessible). Everyone starts somewhere and the most basic ways to prepare are within the reach of most Americans. The most important item for survival is also the most accessible, that item…water. Many basic preparedness supplies can be found everyday in our homes. They range from water in a container (think gallon milk jug) to duct tape and Ziploc bags. These items are standard in most households and for the cost of a soda you and your family can start getting prepared.
Exposing the Wizard
Certain events in nature can be worrisome for anyone when it's a mystery. I take the time to try to explain to my kids what things are and why they seem scary. During a storm, thunder and lightning can be pretty frightening but I try to expose the wizard of lighting by teaching my boys the "Flash to Bang" method of counting until you hear thunder. With this method the kids learn that thunder travels a mile in five seconds. Now every time they see lightning instead of being afraid, they count and it's become a game (whether they understand distance or not). I try to do this as often as possible because kids fear what they don't understand and this gives them and myself less to worry about.
If It's Raining, We're Training
During the spring when storms are at their worst, I found training is best. When storms hit, we grab the dog and head to the safe area in our house. Each of my kids has a mini "go kit" comprised of recycled bags that I get from the grocery store, dollar store first aid kits, flashlights, duct tape, books and a favorite toy. We also pack non-perishable snacks and water. Each of us has a headlamp that we wear and take turns checking our supplies in our basement (known to the kids as the fort). In doing this, I am teaching them about routines, checking our supplies and making it kind of a back yard experience, without the backyard. We also take care of our dog "The Mighty Niki" by having chew toys and grooming items to help keep her calm. Although each time and storm is different, generally speaking my kids gain more confidence and want to build up their kits, which unfortunately happens when we go shopping.
An Inch Becomes a Mile
As I said earlier preparedness starts with a plan and it costs nothing to make a plan. That plan can be as simple as who to call, where to go, and what to do if. The most basic supply needed is water, which is the simplest item to obtain. A visit to your local dollar store can bring you a wealth of items for one-time use events. Is my family worth more than a dollar?? Of course, but what we know is that most people don't have anything and are expecting the government to come in and save them. Unfortunately, this may not happen and in the end all we have is ourselves. To build my kit, each time I visit a store, instead of buying things that I want, I buy what I need. Need means granola bars or extra dog food instead of gummy bears or candy. Inch by inch I'm slowly building my kit one item at a time. So the next time you go to the store and you grab the Haagen Dazs, ask yourself "can this save me in an emergency?" Maybe, you will reach for an energy bar instead. Please keep in mind that you may not have everything today, but you'll have more than yesterday and that can make all of the difference.
A Four Letter Word
I do these things not to be a hero, not to be famous, not because it's what the military taught me, but because of my kids. We all have someone we do these things for whether it be a grandmother, pet, partner or child. In the end, the reason for preparedness can boil down to a four letter word…LOVE.

Just Dating Jews
Just Jews
Dear Dating,
You're really asking two questions here. Though they're obviously related, I think you'll get more clarity if you can look at them separately.
1. How do I get my friend to understand why it's important to me only to date Jews?
You can either explain to her again all the different reasons why this is what you've decided, or you can tell her it's none of her business and stop trying to explain something she clearly isn't trying to understand. If you do want to keep explaining, you can tell her that you really want to have a Jewish home and family, and that you believe that the best chance of accomplishing those goals is with a Jewish partner. You can tell her that your past experiences dating non-Jews convinced you that that's not the path you see for yourself. You can tell her that dating Jewish is a value you're choosing to uphold. If you want to stop having this conversation, you can tell her that enough is enough: This is your decision and you hope she respects your choices just like you respect hers. Then stop engaging in the conversation, and if she brings it up, remind her that you've agreed to disagree, and change the subject.
2. I have a non-Jewish friend who I've considered dating, except that I know I only want to date Jews. What if I'm passing up a great relationship?
If you don't date this friend, you'll never know if the relationship would have been great, or if it would have just heralded the end of a great friendship. You never know what you're missing out on from all the people you don't date, and it's impossible to know. I see a lot of people who are serial daters who can never commit to anyone because there might be someone else out there just that much better. "Love the one you're with," is an enduring expression because it's easy to wonder who else is out there and what could be if the circumstances were different. You could be passing up a great relationship with this friend, it's true. But if you were dating this friend, you might miss out on someone else who might cross your path. There's no perfect system when it comes to FOMO, and you have to decide what makes sense based on what, and who, is in front of you.
3. How does it all fit together?
If you've decided you only want to date Jews, then trust your former self who made that decision, at least for a while, and find some Jews to date. If you compare everyone you meet to this friend, and in a few months start to resent the decision you've made, you could reconsider. You also don't mention whether or not this friend wants to date you, in which case, it might be a non-issue, and the whole question may be a ruse from your Jewish friend to get you to explain your values to her.
The question of interfaith dating comes up again and again in oh so many circumstances. From where I sit, there is no right nor easy answer. You don't want to come across as prejudiced or closed-minded, but you want to be true to your values. You want to fit into mainstream society, and you want to maintain your Jewish identity for you and for your future family. Lots of people figure out ways to do all of these things and lots of couples face these questions both individually and in partnership. You might never get your Jewish friend to understand why this is important to you because it may never be important to her. Enjoy your friendship with her and with your non-Jewish friend, and keep the dating conversations outside of this particular circle.
Be well,

What is your favorite part about living in Madison?
The view of downtown from John Nolen Drive gets me every time. The city is beautiful and has so much to offer.
What is the biggest news story that you've covered?
No doubt, the recall effort against Gov. Scott Walker. Prior to my time in Wisconsin, I'd vote for my coverage of the auto industry's comeback after its near-collapse.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I watch a lot of football, golf and other sports. And I enjoy taking the drive up Interstate 39 to northern Wisconsin, because it looks a lot like northern Michigan, where I spent a lot of time growing up.
What is your favorite kind of ice cream?
Vanilla with hot fudge.
What is the funniest thing that's ever happened to you?
When you're in the business of live television, a lot of funny and unexpected things happen. To single one out wouldn't be fair to the other bloopers.
What is your favorite place to vacation?
Traverse City, Michigan, in the summer, and the Gulf Coast of Florida in the winter.
Who is your hero and why?
My parents, because they've given me love and discipline to make me who I am today.
What was your favorite band when you were in high school?
Coldplay. High school wasn't that long ago for me!
What is your favorite sport to play or watch?
Watch: college football. Play: golf.
If you could possess one superhuman power, what would it be?
Superhuman vision, so I could get rid of the glasses I've worn since second grade!
What are you really bad at that you'd love to be great at?
What is your most memorable travel experience?
I spent a summer in New York during college. For this Midwesterner, it was a memorable learning experience. I found out what I really wanted in life -- among other things, some room to roam that New Yorkers just don't have.
What is the worst job you have ever had?
I've only had two kinds of jobs – journalism and umpiring baseball games. They've both been great!
Who would you most like to interview alive or dead, and why?
In light of the extremism in politics and life in general these days, I'd like to interview political leaders and civil rights leaders from past decades about how we could do better.
What is your favorite tradition around the holidays?
My family always used to take a driving tour around town to look at Christmas lights. But I really like going anywhere during the holiday season – people are so friendly and happy.
What is your favorite song of all time?
Tough one. "Celebration" by Kool and the Gang, "Higher Ground" by Stevie Wonder, "Clocks" by Coldplay.
What is your favorite movie of all time?
ESPN's "30 for 30" documentaries kept me tuning in last year. I really don't like going to the movie theatre though.
What is your favorite book of all time?
The Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck
What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?
Don't try to be anyone else. Be the best "you" that you can be.
If you could relive any moment...what would that be?
Michigan State's 2000 national basketball championship (sorry Badger fans). It was one of the happiest moments of my childhood.
Where were you when September 11, 2001 occurred?
In seventh grade social studies class. I'll never forget it.

Leahy: Many hurdles are still aheadBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | June 29,2013MONTPELIER Fresh off a successful vote on the immigration bill on which he ran point, Vermonts senior senator headed home Friday from Washington, D.C., for a victory lap in Montpelier.
But with Tea Party radicals conspiring against the legislation in the U.S. House, said Sen. Patrick Leahy, the bills prospects remain fraught.
During a morning press conference at his State Street office in Montpelier, he hailed the 68-32 vote on the immigration bill as a beacon of bipartisanship in an otherwise fractured Congress.
But he said conservative Republicans in the House may yet derail the most comprehensive immigration reform in decades.
I think it would be a tragic thing for us if we dont get this bill through the House, Leahy said.
House Speaker John Boehner said this week he wont put a bill up for a vote unless it has majority support in his Republican caucus. But Leahy reserved blame not for Republican leadership, but on the tiny radical element he said has tied Boehners hands.
The speaker is a good man. Hes also a good legislator, Leahy said of the Ohio congressman. But he is being thwarted by a tiny and radical element, the Tea Party element in the House, and theyre threatening his speakership.
Leahy said its now up to Boehner to buck the obstructionists who simply dont want any immigration, and stand up for legislation that won the support of 14 Republicans in the Senate.
Frankly, if I was in the House, Id rather be right than be speaker, Leahy said. And I think what (Boehner) ought to do is say, were going to do what is best for the country, not what is best for a tiny minority.
Leahy said hell work his House connections to help the bill along. He said Rep. Bob Goodlatte, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, is an old friend. He said he has a meeting scheduled with the Virginia Republican when he returns to Capitol Hill next week.
Weve worked together on a lot of things, Leahy said.
Leahy said the 1,000-page immigration bill is sprinkled with provisions that would be of particular importance in Vermont, including one that carves out new protections for undocumented workers on dairy farms. Leahy said it didnt make sense to treat migrant dairy workers in the same way the U.S. handles visas for seasonal farm workers.
You cant say to the cows, OK, well milk you for four months and be back six months from now, Leahy said.
Leahy said he blocked a proposal that would have imposed border-crossing fees on cars passing between the United States and Canada. And a federal law that allows for patrol checkpoints as far as 100 miles away from the U.S. border would, under the Senate bill, be pulled back to 25 miles.
It bothered me a great deal to find these checkpoints on the northern border are going 100 miles (away from the border), said Leahy, who said hed received complaints from constituents about a permanent checkpoint in White River Junction that has since been disbanded.
Leahy said Vermont symphonies will benefit from a provision that streamlines visas for guest artists to come in from overseas just for one or two performances.
Leahy, whose grandparents emigrated to Vermont from Italy, said his ancestors came here with all the customs of the Old World, now with the American flag flying on their front porch. He said 21st century immigrants deserve the same opportunities his family enjoyed.
In all my years (in the Senate), I cannot think of a time I was so emotional on the floor, Leahy said. I was talking about my family, about (my wifes) family .. and then talking about the young dreamers who now have a path to citizenship. Well get there.

text: I had my dd on May 9, so she is now 7 weeks. BF went great the first week and a half, but a few days after we came home from the hospital everything changed. She quit latching on as a good, her tongue felt like sandpaper on my nipple, she was constantly hungry, yet when I would put her on she wouldn't eat, she would just comfort suck. She was gaining enough weight and had plenty of wet diapers, but still she wouldn't eat and yet was always hungry. She wouldn't sleep either, which made me crazy! I quit bf when she was 3 weeks because I couldn't handle the stress, however I really regret it. I thought at first she was going through a growth spurt, but after a few days it didn't let up. What was wrong with her?

During the weekend it seems theres no one here.
I feel like maybe just the only one who is always home, never gets to go anywhere but the store and church.
I guess i need to get out more but i hate to leave my children, it that weird?
I guess i am just afraid to put my feelings out there and make new friends because i have been hurt too many times. Man people can be brutal.
How does a SAHM and a EPM make friends?

By Kevin Wilson: Freedom Newspapers
After putting it off for nearly a year, Adrian and Kendra Lopez were looking forward to a honeymoon vacation they wouldn't forget.
They certainly got that, as the vacation's final days in Cancun featured a visit from Hurricane Emily.
The vacation started innocently enough months before, as the couple received a vacation offer from a telemarketer they felt was too good to pass up. The vacation, which started on July 13, had the two on Isla Mujeres, a small island that was a ferry ride away from Cancun.
"The storm weather first came on Saturday (July 16)," Adrian Lopez said. "When we found out, we were shopping. The government was strict about letting tourists know, so we found out (a lot of information) from people who were just flying in."
Some clues still existed to tip off the two, such as a sudden shutdown on alcohol sales past 4 p.m. Kendra Lopez said the two went for a drink and were directed back to their hotel's bar, where they heard that the government didn't want people drinking before the hurricane arrived.
"What freaked me out was the weather was so calm and sunny (when they told us)," she said. "It was just too calm for there to be a hurricane coming. It was scary."
A few hours later, they were hearing that they would be taken, along with other hotel patrons, to a shelter during the storm. In the time leading up to the shelter trip, the pair made phone calls to relatives in New Mexico. To their surprise, relatives back home had much more information on the storm.
"At about 12 o'clock at night, we started calling family and friends," Adrian Lopez said. "They let us know how many miles per hour it was going to be, when it was going to hit."
The group first arrived at the shelter at about 10 a.m. Sunday and would spend the next 24 hours there. The shelter, Kendra Lopez said, was about the size of an average hotel conference room, and space was limited. Everybody was allowed to bring one change of clothes and some small personal items (i.e. a toothbrush).
The two admitted they were scared during the situation, but said some people went to extremes.
"It was really tough because you see people in that situation," Adrian Lopez said. "I saw an older man steal a blanket from a little kid. There weren't enough blankets and pillows for everybody. Say you have a family of four, you get one blanket and one pillow and some towels."
The winds that blew outside the shelter were recorded at speeds of up to 137 mph.
"When we were in the shelter, it (started at) about 60 miles per hour. There are hallways in the shelter, and once it picked up at around 8 o'clock, you can see the trees here (at this point, he used his right arm to represent a 45-degree angle)," Adrian Lopez said. "At about 10 o'clock, the trees are laying down, car alarms are going off."
About 12 hours later, the shelter's occupants were able to leave.
"Once we got back to the hotel Monday, there was no beach," Adrian Lopez said. "You saw vehicles with palm trees stuck in them, you saw boats on the streets, you saw devastation."
When they arrived back to the hotel, the Lopezes confirmed a flight and grabbed items they had left in their room, which was left with about six inches of standing water.
The two still had an extra day of vacation, but decided they would rather wait at the airport for a flight than stay in the post-hurricane area. They flew to Houston at 2:40 p.m., and turbulence from the hurricane added nearly two hours to a flight that normally lasts 90 minutes.
The two said they'd gladly go to Cancun again, but hopefully with calmer conditions.
"Definitely," Adrian Lopez said. "My family might be upset that I said it, but yeah, I would."

Preparing the "Barn" for the new animals
We just got word that we have piglets arriving in April/May, and baby turkeys as well, so it's time to get the "barn" ready. We will be using a section of our Geodesic Quonset, siding it with slabwood like we did our woodshed and generator shed, and configuring sections for the different animals. We may be adding two milking goats to our little farmstead as well.

August 30, 2012 —
As of last Sunday, I've lived in New York City for 10 years; that's almost exactly one third of my lifetime.
I knew it basically to the day. I knew it because the kids and parents were lined up around Rubin Hall on Fifth Avenue and 10th Street last Sunday for NYU's move-in day. That was me 10 years ago; literally, I stood in that line.
Earlier in the day, we had packed up the car in Narrowsburg and hit the road for New York City. I was nervous, excited, and didn't know what to expect. We ran around that first day, picking up my new computer (a brand new iMac that looked like a lamp), books, schedule and ID card.
I remember the first night I spent in my new dorm room. I couldn't sleep a wink with nervous excitement. I could hear kids talking in the hall. I thought about going outside and introducing myself but I chickened out and went and put a DVD into my computer (Yes, kids, that's how we used to watch movies). I've thought about that moment by the door often over the past 10 years.
Little known fact: when I moved to New York I had an eyebrow piercing. I'm not sure how to explain the decision to do it other than curiosity and a bit of rebellion. But I can tell you that it only lasted about a year and that seeing a picture of myself from that time is incredibly embarrassing. You never think about how dated you may look depending on what goes into or out of style. It's amazing I made any friends at all.
My world expanded from that dorm room on Fifth and 10th. The first week I couldn't tell you how to get from Union Square to Washington Square Park. But gradually all of the gray areas filled in and I started to understand the way the city is laid out. (I still occasionally do get on the wrong subway but that has more to do with being easily distracted. It happened last weekend and I literally couldn't believe it. I thought someone was playing a trick on me.)
The first few summers were spent working at a coffee shop downtown and living at a family friend's loft in Tribeca. The idea of leaving for the summer was unappealing to me. I couldn't get enough at that time and I learned Tribeca by delivering salads. The next year, I moved over to a dorm room on Third Avenue and over to Avenue B the year after that.
At school I made movies for four years. It wasn't the way some friends describe their college experience but it was a total joy. I worked at the post-production center as a work-study job and got to know my way around Avid and Final Cut Pro. I became an editor and started focusing most of my attention on that. I made basically all of the friends I now have.
Graduation was scary because I was very nervous about finding a job, and what my big unknown called life was going to be like. But that, like most other fears, faded away after I got my first few jobs and started gaining a little more confidence.
Over these past 10 years I have had adventures you heard about and some not suited for the newspaper. I have had successes and discoveries, made mistakes and learned hard lessons. I have loved and lost and found.
Nowadays my relationship with the city is a bit on edge. I spent three weeks out of town and returned to find the city very crowded and unsettling. A few days later, there was a shooting up at the Empire State Building. I have not been able to casually walk down the street since.
I am not sure what the future holds. I sometimes wonder what it'd be like to start the process over again in a new city but then other times I can't imagine living anywhere else.

Free Agency has begun, let the games begin
At 12:01 AM Friday morning, the free agency game officially began. And for the Red Sox, I think that Varitek is at the top of everyone's list. I'm sure Theo has talked to Mr. Boras about it, but Theo is very secretive. It's kind of unnerving. You've got to give Tek a second chance though, he's a great player and he's contributed so much to our team. I mean, remember how much everyone disliked JD Drew because of his lack of offensive in 2007. And remember thanking the lord for his existence? Well, who's to say that Varitek can't turn it around? If anything, it'll be like a two year deal, but we all know that Varitek is going to retire with the Red Sox, one way or another. And has anyone else noticed that Scott Boras is like, a power agent? I mean, isn't he Mark Teixiera's agent, and Derek Lowe, and Jason Varitek? He must be pretty cool. The Sox might even be going after Teixiera. I don't know who we'd give up for him though… actually, I don't even know if we have to give anyone up for free agency.

Just draft picks for signing a free agent based on if they are Type A or B. But draft picks, although valuable, are very iffy in baseball.
What were we saying about checking our team's website too much?🙂 I'm still working on it, but it's getting easier because the only news is that the Yanks are interested in Jake. That's pretty sad. Well, I guess that would be kind of OK, but I'm half Red Sox fan, so that would not be so cool. Hopefully it doesn't work out, but New York is the one with all the money. Scary…..
We have to bring Tek back! Yes, he is struggling with hitting, but there is NO better catcher out there for controlling the game and keeping the pitchers (read Dice-K) in the game. We need him to mentor and help train his replacement -we all know he only has a a couple of years left. He will retire a Red Sox. How about if we let him go out in style, like he deserves.
Thanks for your comment on my blog. While you said you would live in fear of us if we got CC and Peavy, you must remember: If we don't sign Tex, you may, and that is an absolutely terrifying thought. Mark and Ortiz doesn't have the same ring as Manny-Ortiz, but it could end up being a better duo. But who would you play at first in National League parks?

Tucker pair facing animal cruelty charges
A Tucker County couple is in the Tygart Valley Regional Jail following an alleged complaint of cruelty to animals.
Virgil T. Wills III, 45, and Wanda Jean Wills, 46, of 1057 Limestone Road in Parsons were charged on July 12. The criminal complaint charges Wanda Wills with 25 counts of cruelty to animals, a misdemeanor. It alleges Wanda Will had 22 live cats, one dead cat and two dogs at her residence. The complaint further alleges that "she was not to have any animals on her residence per a court order, and that all the dogs and cats needed medical attendance, but no medical attendance was provided."
Wanda Wills is being held at Tygart Valley Regional Jail on $5,000 bond. Her hearing is set for 10:30 a.m. Sept. 3 at Tucker County Magistrate Court. If convicted, cruelty to animals carries a fine of not less than $300 nor more than a $2,000 fine or confinement in jail not more than six months, or both.
The criminal complaint alleges Virgil Wills III also had the 22 live cats, one dead cat and two dogs at his residence, with each dog and cat needing medical attendance, but no medical attendance was provided. It further alleges that Virgil Wills III was told to catch the other nine cats and take them to the animal shelter. He is charges with 25 counts of cruelty to animals and 33 counts of cruelty to animals.
Virgil Wills III also is being held at the Tygart Valley Regional Jail, but no bond has been set. His hearing is set for 11 a.m. Sept. 3 at Tucker County Magistrate Court. If convicted on the first misdemeanor charge, Wills could be fined not less than $300 nor more than $2,000 or confined in jail not more than six months, or both. If convicted on the second misdemeanor charges, Wills could be prohibited from owning, possessing or residing with any animal for a period of five years. A violation of this is punishable by a fine not exceeding $2,000 and forfeiture of the animal.

Harrison officials get CEAO report
CADIZ – Harrison County Commissioners met Wednesday with Doug Crabtree, representing the county engineer's office. Crabtree presented the board with the County Engineers Association of Ohio legislative program for the 130th Ohio General Assembly.
Among the priority legislative issues highlighted Crabtree pointed out to commissioners that the CEAO would be seeking legislation to transfer the jurisdiction for issuing of road right-of-way construction, access permits and permits for oversize overweight vehicles from the county commissioners where it presently falls to the county engineer.
"Because of the engineering, design and safety considerations, that duty should be under the county engineer," was stated as the reasoning, according to the CEAO literature presented to the board.
The CEAO is also requesting that all bridge construction fall under the "just build" process to save months of programming and reduce the overall cost of substandard bridges.
The engineer's office also supports the OUPS legislation allowing the public agency owning the right-of-way to maintain the control of its designated use.
Crabtree said that the state engineers also would like to extend load limits which are currently limited to bridges to county roads. The engineers could restrict specific roadways after a completion of an engineering analysis and create specific haul routes for cargo that would be designated detrimental to local highways.
The CEAO is also requesting that all overweight fines be credited to maintenance and repair of roadways, bridges and culverts.
The board noted that many of these legislative priority issues were related to the shale gas boom, particularly the request that counties be allowed to charge impact fees for infrastructure requirements needed as a result of commercial, residential and agricultural developments.
Crabtree also presented the 14th road use agreement for 2013 allowing Chesapeake Exploration to use four miles of CR 17 for ingress and egress of the Kuhn well site.
Commissioner Dale Norris asked if the company planned to pave the section of highway as they had done on the other end of CR 17. Crabtree said he was not sure of the specifics of the agreement with County Engineer Rob Sterling but would check on the specifics.
The board approved the agreement.
In other business: Scott Blackburn asked the board to approve two appointments for board vacancies. Clifford Harmon was appointed to the Workforce Investment Board and Dan Gichevski to the Youth Board. Both terms will expire Jan. 31 of 2014.
The board also approved an appropriation request for $4,400 into H050-H06 WIA Fund for DJFS.

For those mad at Reutimann
Rooty was 34th while limping around. If he finishes the race limping around he is still in the top 35 in points.
Well his car fails him with 3 laps to go (also adding more laps to complete the race)
He is now one point out of the top 35. Ironically it was his teammate that passed him for 34th, which knocked him out of the top 35 in points. Now if he gets off the track the lap he says he was trying to get off, then they only run 500 laps & he is still in the top 35. Thanks to the extra GWC, Blaney passed him for position with those extra laps. If Rooty doesnt complete the last lap that he did complete, then he would have lost another position to kyle.
34th Blaney 439 laps completed (of 515 laps)
35th Rooty 436 laps completed
36th Kyle 435 laps completed
Rooty one point out of the top 35.
So there is the reason he did what he did, & why it was so important to his team. I cant really blame him for that.

- Title
- Typing over autocomplete: cognitive load in website use by older adults
- Author(s)
- Doube, Wendy; Beh, Jeanie
- Abstract
- This paper describes an exploration into factors influencing the interaction of cognitive processing with visual and motor skills during website use by older adults. Twenty-eight older adults and 18 younger adults completed an on-line air-ticketing search task. Quantitative and qualitative data was captured from multiple sources, and analysed from the perspective of cognitive load. Compared with the younger control group, older adults took significantly longer and made significantly more errors in reporting the results of the task. Although the mean duration of gaze down at the keyboard and notes was similar for both age groups, the mean duration of screen gaze was significantly longer for older than for younger participants. Older adults also logged a significantly higher number of gazes from keyboard to screen. Their longer task times were associated with actions that increase cognitive load by decreasing spatial and temporal contiguity of information. Unlike their younger counterparts, they did not glance rapidly between screen and keyboard, but focussed their gaze on the keyboard, checking their typing only when they had completed a form field. Accordingly, they typed into autocomplete combo boxes, ignoring preset options, with the unexpected consequence of more expensive fares and a smaller range of results. When participant background information was analysed, task time was correlated with less Internet experience as well as with age. Supported by observation and self-report which did not signal pronounced vision or motor problems, these results suggest that task times could be reduced through automation of repeatable user interface actions with practice, especially with training in screen glancing rather than gazing. Although the number of search reporting errors was correlated with age group and not experience, greater proficiency with the interface could possibly free cognitive resources for improved problem-solving.

I love my son and try to give him what he needs in life. Sometimes I even give him what he wants, too. He has a nice bike that he uses quite a lot, and he is always out and about. Of course he has his own PC, which is online 24/7 while he constantly surfs for sports car images. For some strange reason, the teachers at his primary school thinks he's some sort of genius, as he's always telling them that Windows sucks and the TCO is much less when using Linux. At times I think I let him have too much; I have let him play games on a Windows machine. Then, of course, at age 11 he broke my collarbone and all I did was lecture him on his propensity for causing "incidents."
However, sometimes I put my foot down. One example involves my DVD collection. I don't trust him with those little discs of plastic and dreams. We sometimes have debates about what he's allowed to watch, and often he wants to take my DVDs to a friend's house, which I absolutely forbid. What's a father to do?
The answer is to make a copy to watch on the PC.
Before diving into the guts of the article, please keep in mind that I'm not suggesting you do anything illegal. I shudder to think that some evil person will impoverish an unassuming multinational corporation by depriving it the opportunity to make a small profit off a piece of entertainment geared for the unwashed masses. That's why the United States has such wonderful laws protecting companies' rights. (Did I tell you that I live in Canada?) Instead, I implore you to use the following approach only for DVDs unencumbered by licensing issues.
Creating a movie involves a few software and hardware considerations:
Making these movie backup copies requires several distinct utilities, including:
It looks pretty daunting, doesn't it? Just look at all those utilities that you need to create your movie.
Actually, you can make things work with very little knowledge by using one more utility that ties all of the above together: K3b. K3b is a CD- and DVD-burning application for Linux systems optimized for KDE. It provides a comfortable user interface for performing most disc-burning tasks.
Here are the steps you should follow:
Now let's start putting the pieces together.
Of all the utilities, Mplayer is not only the most critical but also the trickiest to set up and use correctly. There are lots of good references, including the Mplayer home page and, from this site, Video Playback and Encoding with MPlayer and MEncode and DVD Playback on FreeBSD.
Note: Adding to the complication is the fact that several Linux distributions don't supply Mplayer. Those that do tend to hobble its capabilities in order to avoid running afoul of legal restrictions. The best approach is to download Mplayer directly from its web site. You'll also need to download the required codecs (a form of technology used to compress and decompress video data) too.
First, install the codecs on your machine, usually to
/usr/local/lib/codecs/. Then configure and compile Mplayer.
Ironically, for all Mplayer's complication, you can create your AVI by using this one incantation from the command line:
/usr/local/bin/mencoder dvd:// -o temp.avi -ovc lavc \
-lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=1800 -oac mp3lame -lameopts \
cbr:vol=3 -aid 128
Let's break down the above command.
/usr/local/bin/mencoder is the Mplayer command utility to
dvd:// identifies the device from which the utility reads. You
can also add a track number to use a track other than the default, at
-o temp.avi is the name of the AVI file to create.
-ovc lavc will use the libavcodec codec to compress the video
-lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=1800 provides further
information to the libavcodec codec on how to construct the resulting file.
For the most part, you don't have to worry about this option. However,
vbitrate=1800 is crucial to the screen size of the movie. This
particular setting, for example, sets the whole screen for a 17-inch monitor.
Reducing the number reduces not only the screen size but also the file size! Halving
the number means you can fit 2 hours on one CD, rather than 1 hour.
-oac mp3lame encodes the audio track to the MP3 format.
-lameopts cbr:vol=3 sets the bit rate method and the volume
input for
lame's sound encoding.
-aid 128 chooses the audio stream (language) to use. DVDs
often have more than one language sound track for a given recording. The number
128, for example, is the industry's identification number for the
English language.
Normally, you don't need to worry about this either. In my case I often use
the number 129 for the French language sound track. I add the
fr country identification switch too.
It's a good idea to test the command first, since the encoding process will take several hours. The most common encoding mistake involves recording the sound improperly, and you'll hate to find out you'll have to repeat the wait. Doing a test recording is pretty simple. Add the following switches to the above command invocation:
-endpos 30 -ss 00:10:00
This will cause Mplayer to record for a period of 30 seconds at about 10 minutes into the DVD recording.
There's often more than one track on a DVD. You might want to record
something other than the first track. The easiest solution is to simply play
the tracks until you find the one you're interested in. For example,
mplayer dvd:// plays the first track by default;
dvd://1 plays the first track explicitly; and
dvd://2 plays the second track explicitly.
There's more than one command incantation that will create an AVI. It's all a question of experimenting with the different video and audio codecs. For example, you can restate the command where it copies the audio stream directly into the AVI without converting it to MP3:
/usr/local/bin/mencoder dvd://1 -endpos 30 -ss \
00:10:00 -o temp.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts \
vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=1800 -oac copy -aid 128
This incantation will normally result in a 1.4GB AVI.
Play back the ripped recording by running Mplayer:
mplayer temp.avi
The transcode suite of utilities is ideal for video stream processing. That's exactly what we want to use here.
Transcode doesn't require too much in the way of existing libraries to compile; however, you should pay close attention to the summary printed at the end of the configuration to see exactly what libraries it has found and what the resulting binary can do. Refer to Table 1 for an example output. You may have to play with the configuration paths if transcode doesn't find libraries that you know exist on your system.

Once you've compiled and installed transcode, you can run the tcprobe utility on your newly created temp.avi:
tcprobe -i temp.avi
The following example output shows the kind of information that you should receive:
$ tcprobe -i temp.avi
[tcprobe] RIFF data, AVI video
[avilib] V: 29.970 fps, codec=DIVX, frames=135989, width=720, height=480

[avilib] 9076 chunks, 254128000 bytes, CBR
[tcprobe] summary for temp.avi, (*) = not default, 0 = not detected
import frame size: -g 720x480 [720x576] (*)
frame rate: -f 29.970 [25.000] frc=4 (*)
audio track: -a 0 [0] -e 48000,16,2 [48000,16,2] -n 0x2000 [0x2000]
bitrate=448 kbps
length: 135989 frames, frame_time=33 msec, duration=1:15:37.504
Transcode includes a utility called avisplit for splitting AVI
files into chunks of a maximum size. This example command breaks
temp.avi into chunks no larger than 640MB apiece:
avisplit -s 640 -i temp.avi
In this case, it creates two files,
temp.avi-0000 and
temp.avi-0001. Remember to check them out by playing little
snippets at different points in the movie, say at the beginning and end of each
At this point you're now ready to create the self-booting movie ISO. It'll take several utilities to do this, but that's where K3b comes in.
The first thing to do is to ensure that K3b sees all the requisite utilities, as seen in Figure 1. Launch the program, go to the Settings menu item, and click on the Configure option. You won't need all of the utilities listed here, but you'll certainly require those listed at the beginning of this article.
Figure 1. The K3b configuration window
Figure 2 shows a snapshot of a new eMoviX project. Choose the eMoviX project that suits the medium to which you are burning. You may have a DVD burner, but be sure to select a CD project if the recording medium is a CD-R.
Figure 2. Creating a new eMoviX project
Using K3b is a fairly intuitive process. When you run the program, you'll first see three panes. The top right one shows the files, defaulting to your home directory. From this pane you can navigate to the AVI files. Now drag and drop the first ISO image into the bottom pane. You can bring up the Burn window by clicking on the Burn icon, selecting Project -> Burn from the menu, or pressing Ctrl-B to start the burn process. The Burn window, as shown in Figure 3, provides you the opportunity to fill out the information to include on your CD as well as how the movie should start and what should happen when it finishes. Take a minute to tab through all the options. It's pretty cool what eMoviX can do.
Figure 3. The K3b burn window
I don't change much of anything except for the volume description and whether I want the system to eject the CD or shut down the system after the movie ends. When you're satisfied with your options, click on the Burn button to begin the burn process.
That's it, folks! Repeat the process for the next images until you have completed burning your CD movie.
Put the first CD in your disc tray and boot the machine. The CD's isolinux OS will take care of the rest. Notice that you can interrupt the boot process to the CD's BusyBox shell.
They're aren't any!
I like using an image from the movie as my label for the CD jewel case. I use Mplayer to screen-capture an image:
mplayer dvd:// -ss 00:10:00 -vo jpeg
This example command will begin screen-capturing several frames per second, beginning 10 minutes into the movie. You will end up with a collection of numbered JPEG images in the directory where you invoked Mplayer. Press Ctrl-C as soon as you've collected enough images to choose from.
Now load them into your favorite graphics package. I use
display from the imageMagick graphics suite because I can load
them all with one command:
display *.jpg
Select the one you would like to use, print it, fold the paper, and you're done.

A new report finds the rate of cesarean section deliveries for new mothers varies widely in Minnesota and depends on the health care provider.
Statewide, the C-section rate for first-time mothers is about 26 percent for the year ending in June 2012. The report by the nonprofit MN Community Measurement says the rate at some clinics is as high as 51 percent. Four health care providers were highlighted for C-section rates of 17 percent or less.
Some doctors and health care researchers are concerned that while the C-section rate has grown recently, it hasn't resulted in improved outcomes. Doctors might recommend a C-section when a vaginal birth could endanger the baby or mother.
The report doesn't explain why some clinics perform more C-sections. The St. Paul Pioneer Press says the Minnesota Department of Health commissioned the study.

November 13, 2013 —
MIDDLETOWN and QUEENSBURY, NY — So much of our lives is spent racing against the clock trying to get things done, to be somewhere at a specific moment in time and countless other instances too numerous to mention. Rare indeed are those fleeting moments when we are not subject to the exigencies of time. In sports, time looms even larger, as games are defined by a running clock, as are races in which runners seek to cover given distances with the fastest speed they can marshal. In the drama of championship encounters, the final outcome often comes down to a matter of seconds.
Such was the case for the Eldred girls soccer team locked in a 1-1 State Class D Quarterfinal tie with Section Two's Oppenheim-Ephratah/St. Johnsville in a game that seemed destined for overtime. That is, until the feisty Lady Yellow Jackets got a goal from Jordan Lepes with 17 seconds remaining on a feed from Lynzee Kelty. The regional victory following Eldred's first Section Nine girls soccer title since 1986 unleashed unbridled fervor and joy as the team now heads to the state Final Four in Cortland on November 16 to face Section Three Champion Poland for the right to advance to the state championship title game. Kelty had scored the team's first goal late in the first half. Keeper Jenna Burns recorded 22 saves for the 11-7-1 Lady Yellow Jackets. A timely stop of a ball heading towards the goal by defender Angie Schadt with 29 minutes to play was an integral part of the winning story.
Needless to say time figured strongly in the NYSPHSAA Cross-Country Championships as the elite runners of Section IX vied against the best of the best from the state's other 10 sections. For the first time in 30 years, Section IX had two individual state champions crowned. Warwick sophomore Megan Reilly (17:23.5) won the Class A title for the second year in a row, breaking the course record set at Queensbury in 2005 by then Warwick standout Aislinn Ryan by one tenth of a second. Onteora senior Julia Rubin-Armstrong (18:22.4) won the girls Class C honors. The Mt. Academy boys team won the state Class D title for the second straight year.

June 2, 2011 —
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — Winning a Section 9 title is momentous, but winning it year after year, especially in small schools with limited talent pools, signifies a dynasty. With its third win in a row by both its boys and girls track teams at the Section 9 Class D Championships, Eldred has earned the right to lay claim to that term. This was the fourth straight year that the Lady Yellow Jackets won.
Among the May 25 special performances at Middletown's Faller Field was a sweep by junior Christine Donnelly of the 800 (2:28), 1500 (5:16.73) and the 3000 (11:38.56). Senior Diana Schombs won the 100 hurdles (17.48), the pole vault (9-0) and the shot put (30-01.50). Junior Breanna Brucher won the 100 (13.60) and the 200 (28.29). Junior Erika Bowring won the long jump (15-06), while eighth grader Savanna Finck won the pentathlon with 1,458 points.
Eldred's boys victories included a triplex win by Hunter Proscia in the 1600 (4:56.01), the 3200 (11:19.82) and the 3000 steeplechase (10:00.54). Otto Banghart won the 100 (11:47) and ran a leg in the winning 400 relay (47.93) with Craig Burns, Julian Gottlieb and Nick Mehedin. Alex Campanella won the 800 (2:04.82) and ran a leg in the winning 3200 relay (8:59.04) with Russell Amore, Tony Moriggia and Matt Watts. Moriggia won the pole vault (10-00).
Eldred's girls outpointed Webutuck 211.65-171. The boys bested John A. Coleman Catholic 250-166.
In the Class C Meet held on May 26 at Dietz Stadium, Tri-Valley's girls outpointed Liberty 211-113 for their fifth straight Class C crown. Sullivan West was third with 102 points. Liberty's Jessica Dunnigan swept the 100 (12.89), 200 (28.23) and the long jump (17-8¼) and ran a leg in the winning 400 relay (52.39) run with Lara Heslop, Amanda Bertholf and Nikole Snyder. Dunnigan's long jump was a personal best and met the state qualifying standard. She is the reigning state champ in the 200. Tri-Valley seventh-grader Autumn Bender won the 3000 (11:21.85), while Sullivan West's Dani Myers captured the 2000 steeplechase (8:18.27).

Mike Cahill's 'I Origins' doesn't add up to much
1 + 1 doesn't always have to equal 2. But when the equation for a movie's plot is "mutant worms + tragic love story = unintended cultural insensitivity," most screenwriters might want to recheck their math.
Not writer-director Mike Cahill, whose gobbledygook cinematic algebra can't make up for the fact that he either never learned, or thinks he's beyond, the basics. As a result, Cahill's Me Generation reincarnation film "I Origins" will divide audiences without multiplying them. »Read Full Article
James Brown biopic 'Get On Up' works hard to please
Before Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger moonwalked and strutted across the stage, James Brown burst onto it propelled by hard times and his band the Famous Flames in equal measure.
His life story helps make "Get On Up" the hardest-working musical biopic in show business. It channels a muscular performance by Chadwick Boseman through a prismatic and almost impressionistically told collage of the traumatic, tortured and triumphant events in the hard times and rich life of the Godfather of Soul. »Read Full Article

Happy Birthday Tommy Lasorda and Sweet Lou Johnson
Today Tommy Lasorda turns 83!
And Sweet Lou turns 76!
When I was at the All-Star Fan-Fest in Anaheim, I went thru two boxes of baseball cards and found these baseball cards from Sweet Lou!
Here is the back of the cards
The second that has a pic of a farmer reads "I wus a Yanky farmer" Lou was in the Yank's farm system in 1953.
from the back of th cards: Lou was a Kansas City Monarchs before the Cubs bough him in 1955…The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired the hustling outfielder from the Detroit Tigers on April 9, 1964.. Lou led the Midwest Leauge with a lofty .365 batting average. He continued his fine hitting with LA and contributed to their great success in 1965.
Happy birthday Tommy and Sweet Lou!
come to Dodger Stadium to join in the birthday celebration and wish both gentlemen a happy birthday. Sweet Lou will do the honor of saying "IS TIME FOR DODGER BASEBALL!"
Talking about birthdays, I sent Emilio Navarro a happy birthday card. As I mentioned on a prior post, he turns 105 on Septermber 26th. I bought a 5 year-old card and squeesed the "10" infront. I also mailed with a Negro League baseball stamp .
10 Comments
He sure seems ageless. I don't know if is because I see him at the stadium but he does not seem to age. Thanks Jane! I can't wait to be at the stadium tonight to sing happy birthday!
Have fun at the stadium tonight Emma!
Oh, and Emma. I've got tickets to Fan Appreciation Day 10/3. I don't think I'll be going to any other games between now and then. I'll come see you.
wow 83 would never have guessed it,
no Dodger Blue this post season wont be the same…
Love the card! And Tommy is 83!?!? Wow… I feel old now. Sure do miss him in the dugout still, but the memories he created will last a lifetime for sure.
See you on the 3rd! I hope you or your mom win something. Maybe Josh can go see your mom.
someone asked Tommy how old he was and he said "31".
I was looking for a card and then came across the kids cards and I said "why not" You feel old? haha, imagine how I feel!
Those are three very note worthy Birthdays! 105 years old!? Bless his soul! The autographed Johnson card is too cool! "your friend".
Yeah, isn't nice he wrote that for me! Sweet Lou is a sweatheart. He is always so nice and with a smile on his face.
I hope Emilio got my birthday card on time. I did not know before that you only need a regular stamp for standard mail to Puerto Rico.

Oh, Mummy!
By Health Day
..here's a history lesson you'll find interesting.
A group of researchers has found that ancient mummies had hardening of the arteries thousands of years ago!
Hardening of the arteries...or atherosclerosis...is often a precursor to heart attack or stroke... It's considered a very modern disease based on our 21st century lifestyle choices.
But now...this study of over 100 mummies from four different geographical regions, spanning 4000 years, has revealed that atherosclerosis may have been much more common than imagined.
In fact, the high prevalence of hardened arteries found in the mummies during CT scans may support the idea that humans are simply predisposed to the disease.
Overall, more than one third of the mummies, showed signs of probable or definite atherosclerosis. And as with modern day patients, the older mummies seemed to be more likely to show signs of the disease.
With the mummy data, questions remain whether hardening of the arteries is a disease of lifestyle...aging...or another cause entirely.
I'm Dr. Cindy Haines of HealthDay TV with the latest breakthroughs from the world of medicine.

The first permanent non-native settlers in the Las Vegas Valley were a group of Mormon missionaries who built an adobe fort along Las Vegas Creek in 1855. The fort was called Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort. They successfully farmed the area by diverting water from the creek. Today, the park includes a remnant of the original adobe fort, which contains interpretive displays. The Visitor Center contains exhibits on the history of the site, as well as historic artifacts. Historic interpretation is and will remain the focus of the park. The Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort is located in downtown Las Vegas, at the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Washington Avenue. The Park and Visitor Center are open from 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, year round.
500 E. Washington Ave.
More than 150 years ago, a spring-fed creek flowed through this valley, creating an oasis in the desert. With the only free-flowing water and grass for miles around, the site attracted native Paiute people as well as traders, emigrants and gold seekers traveling the Old Spanish Trail to California. The Spaniards called the place las vegas, Spanish for the meadows.
In June of 1855, William Bringhurst and 29 fellow Mormon missionaries from Utah arrived at this site and built a 150-foot square adobe fort, the first permanent structure erected in the valley. The Mormon outpost, complete with a post office, served as a way station for travelers. The creek provided irrigation for fields and orchards. Lead was later discovered in the mountains to the southwest, and the mission was expanded to include mining and smelting, but the effort proved unsuccessful.
After less than two years, the Mormon effort was abandoned after dissension arose between two of the local leaders, adding to the discouragement of many in the group. In 1865, Octavius D. Gass bought the site and developed a large-scale ranch that included a small store and blacksmith shop to serve travelers and nearby mining communities.
In 1881, Gass defaulted on a loan using the ranch as collateral. The ranch was passed on to Archibald and Helen Stewart. Although Archibald was killed in a gunfight in 1884, Helen, with the help of her father and others, continued to operate the ranch.
In 1902, Helen sold the ranch and water rights to the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad. A new town, Las Vegas, sprang into existence in 1905 when the rails reached the valley. From this place, Las Vegas has since expanded to become one of the nation's major metropolitan areas.
It all started with water. Rising from underground aquifers about four miles west of the Fort, springs supplied Las Vegas Creek with a year-round supply of water that flowed for several miles before being lost in the desert. For thousands of years the creek was the site of seasonal camps for various groups of native people, who hunted the animals and collected the wild plants that grew at the oasis. Later, the creek provided early travelers with a welcome place for water and feed.
Starting in 1895, the water was used for irrigating crops and orchards by the Mormons. After the city of Las Vegas was founded in 1905, the spring water was diverted into the town's water system and the creek largely dried up.
The original fort was built by the Mormons in 1855. It consisted of an adobe enclosure 150 feet on each side, with towers or bastions at the northwest and southeast corners. The adobe building closest to the creek is the only surviving part of this structure. The other walls and the bastion at the northeast corner are reconstructions. The building was most recently used as a testing lab and office for the United States Bureau of Reclamation, which leased and renovated the building in 1929 during the construction of Hoover Dam.
In 1865, Octavius D. Gass, a miner from El Dorado Canyon acquired the Mormon fort site and used part of the foundation and walls to build a ranch house. Gass also bought out other landholders to assemble a sizable ranch, and built a store and blacksmith shop to supply travelers.
Later the ranch was taken over by Archibald and Helen Stewart. Helen occupied the ranch house until she sold it to the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad.
Getting the most out of your visit …
Take time to walk the paths and enjoy the feeling of a time in the not-too-distant past when, from this lonely outpost, the desert stretched away to the distant mountains.
For many years, efforts have been underway to preserve this site, which has historical significance in southern Nevada.
Under the Nevada Division of State Parks and other interested historical groups, the Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort has been restored to an historical appearance. One structure is original, while others have been reconstructed using the best archeological and historical information available.
During June, July, and August, expect highs to be from 100-106 degrees, fall and spring are mild from high 60s to 90s, and winter months are cool at 50s to 60s.
An entrance fee is charged to enter the fort, $1 per person over 12 years old and children 12 and under are free. A group use area is available by reservation.
There are series of programs throughout the summer geared towards children and adults. Throughout the year we have the Soldier's of the Fort demos (call for details). Annually in June we have Settlement Day, in October Nevadaween and in December Pioneer Christmas. The "Friends of the Fort" also provide a series of programs throughout the year.
To make your visit and the visit of others more enjoyable, please observe the following rules:
- We do not allow dogs, except service animals.
- We do not allow bicycling inside the park.

there is no chance he just won the tittle y would he want to leave hes staying theres no point in trying we got a better shot at kobe.
Even while basking in the glow of an NBA championship, even as he became prince of Motown, the final piece to Detroit's championship puzzle, Rasheed Wallace maintained that his wife and kids will make the final decision on whether he will re-sign with the Pistons as a free agent.
So the Knicks still are in the game, although ever so slightly. As the celebration carried on inside the Pistons' locker room Tuesday night, Bill Strickland, Wallace's agent, was asked by The Post if Wallace still will consider the Knicks come July 1, The agent said, "Perhaps, given how hard he tried to get there before he got here."

there is no chance he just won the tittle y would he want to leave hes staying theres no point in trying we got a better shot at kobe.
I'd think we'd have a better shot at a player like Crawford or Jamison over Kobe... The Lakers are willing to part ways with Shaq to keep him around, thats gotta say something. Shaq, I think will ultimately head to Orlando again, he is too expensive for the Knicks to consider. If Wallace still wants to be in NY, I would embrace that decision as well, but I think he will remain a Piston.
One outta three ain't bad.
we have a good shot at crawford sheed wont leave he wants to win more tittles and the psitons are good rite now
USE PERIODS! G-d, do you realize how annoying it is to decipher what youre saying?Originally Posted by JJtheKnick
no one has said anything but here
we have a good shot at crawford. sheed wont leave he wants to win more tittles and the psitons are good rite now
Sheed still may leave.Originally Posted by JJtheKnick
but why whould he. he just wont a championship and that team fits him nice. he met lieave but its a slim chance
I just said that... Just with better Grammar and Spelling...Originally Posted by JJtheKnick
now that shaq is gone there is no way that we getting kobe so isiah should not concentrate on landing with crawford
shaq might not leave because it will be very hard to trade him. in 2 years shaq makes 60 - 65 mill. and nobody can afford him. so maybe kobe will want to leave.
this article appeared in a san antonio newspaper, to read the whole story you'll have to be registered user, so i copy/pasted what was important.27 June, 2004
Rasheed Wallace already has decided to sign with the New York Knicks if Isiah Thomas can work out a sign-and-deal trade with the Detroit Pistons - or if Wallace were willing to sign in New York for the mid-level exception.
Monroe: Anyone who heard Wallace's comments not more than 45 minutes after he helped the Pistons win the NBA championship knows his options are open, and that New York is a preferred destination. It will be up to Pistons GM Joe Dumars to convince him to stay.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
now what do you think about this? real or bogus? makes you think how come it appeared in a texan paper instead of a new york or michigan one
Would love to see Rasheed in a Knicks uniform.
Very small chance that would take a miracle.
Tell you the truth I don't care what the Pistons or Sheed says to the papers. All I'm hoping is that his wife will tell him New York is where she wants to be.
Thats what will ultimately influence his decision, his wife. New York is a much more actractive city than Detroit, hands down.
One outta three ain't bad.
thats true but even thomes said that there is only like 2% of getting him sence he juts won a tittle
