World Wrestling Entertainment reported that it turned a profit in the fourth quarter after experiencing a loss in the same period a year earlier. Adjusted net income was in-line with analyst estimates while revenue topped expectations.
It said its fourth quarter net income was $0.6 million, or 1 cent per share, compared to a loss of $8.6 million, or 12 cents per share, in the same quarter a year earlier. Adjusting for one time, the WWE's net income was $1.3 million, or 2 cents per share, compared to $1.8 million, or 2 cents per share, in the prior year quarter.
Revenues for the WWE totaled $115.1 million in the fourth quarter compared to $112.9 million in the prior year. This beat estimates as analysts were expecting a revenue of $114.6 million. "In the fourth quarter, we continued to make important progress on our key strategic initiatives, expanding the production and licensing of new programs and enhancing our brands," commented Vince McMahon, Chairman and CEO of WWE. "Although we did not announce the launch of a domestic television network during the year, we believe, now more than ever, that we can realize the full value of our intellectual property using a variety of approaches in our global markets. Our confidence is based on the rising value of content and the tremendous global appeal of our brands."

This week I have decided to pursue what at times could be considered a resonant and even explosive topic: We will be talking about the common and prevalent bodily function of flatulence.
Now, whenever we talk about things like this, we must be discreet and proper. We must act like adults and avoid trivializing or making light of something normal and natural and beautiful. We will not chuckle or snicker, nor will we allow our minds to drift to juvenile contemplations or youthful silliness.
If you feel you can consider this topic under those guidelines, you may continue. However, if the explicit and distinct sound of the expulsion of gaseous vapor from the interior of a human body into the general environment prompts in you even the hint of a grin, then perhaps you are not quite ready. Maybe you should skip this column and move right to the weather page where the mention of the effect of a high pressure system with diverging winds might not seem so humorous.
Since this subject has so many fascinating facets and my column space is limited, I am going to focus on the aspect of the challenges of being a vaporous man. I don't know if you have noticed, but the male gender seems to have achieved a more gaseous state than the female. Why is that so, you wonder?
Well, there is a scientific explanation for this. It has to do with what I call the "Theory of Saturated Cellular Carbonation." Here's how this works …
When men are in the process of dating and courting their future wives, they exercise tremendous self-control of this bodily function. Despite their natural gaseous nature, they suppress the operation of this process. The gas, having nowhere to go, is then internalized into various corporal systems. It is forced into the bloodstream, which becomes somewhat carbonated and a bit toxic. It is then squeezed into tiny capillaries and carried to millions of individual cells, where its latent energy is temporarily housed.
Thus, the man who is in the process of courtship also is in the process of internally infusing the potential power of those franks and beans he ate at his future in-laws barbecue. We all know there are limits to everything. Eventually the man's cells become carbonatically saturated with gaseous vapor. This saturation point usually happens shortly after the honeymoon. It is then when the long, slow, lifelong elimination process begins to take place.
This would explain the sudden realization on the part of the female that there is something significantly different about the man she just married. What the woman must appreciate is that the man is not the perpetrator of social crudeness or personal impropriety, but that he is simply a victim of not only a normal biological process, but also that of the spirit of self-sacrifice he demonstrated in his willingness to carbonate the very cells of his existence to prove his love during the wooing process.
So there you have it. Sure, scientific explanations can be cold and aloof. After all, we are talking about processes and systems and states of matter. But with understanding comes purpose. With purpose comes appreciation. And with appreciation comes love.
Even though a wife might be startled by a sudden trumpeting sound, or taken aback by an oddly odoriferous scent, she must always remember the thought behind it. For in the spirit of unselfishness and self-denial, the man who has proven his love in the past is now simply confirming it in the present. So, wives, please forgive us if we appear to be hopeless romantics … we just can't help it.
• Michael Penkava is a retired teacher who taught for 35 years at West Elementary School in Crystal Lake. He is currently considering resaturating his cellular carbonation at the request of his wife. He can be reached at email@example.com.

Hi there,
I had terrible, terrible morning sickness while pregnant (was hospitalised for a week) and lived on dramamine from 3 months to 6 months...my 14 week old Lili has silent reflux and I am wondering how many of you can see a link either between your having bad morning sickness and your baby having acid reflux and/or the meds you took causing this in your child...
This is mine and Lili's story so far:
Here is an update on Lili: Daytimes, we have to take it in turns to hold her while she sleeps or she just can't make past 30 mins and gets v overtired. This alone takes a toll on DH and I but for the last 3 weeks she has been feeding every 1-2 hours day AND NIGHT! Her weight gain and health is excellent which was masking a problem that only became apparent when I reached out for help this week utterly exhausted (she also won't now take bottles so I cannot get a break - due to oversupply I stopped expressing some weeks ago).
We took her to a pediatrician on the advice of a UK health visitor who suspected silent reflux...this is when acid comes up into the oesophagus but instead of spitting up it goes back down, burning her both ways. This makes her incredibly fussy, and stops her getting good sleep as well as causing her to need soothing milk in small meals. Reluctantly and without much hope we tried her on the Domperidone (I was also on this while pregnant with her for a little while but ironically it didn't work for me) we were prescribed and hey presto - she slept 3x 3 hour blocks for 2 nights now and is much less fussy daytimes. Seems incredible to me that I would have to give this drug 3 times per day to such a young baby but she is suffering without it - and us too. We may have to start her on a v small amount of baby rice in a month at 18 weeks or so and hope this helps and we can stop the meds. She was sleeping with us but now is on a specially raised anti acid mattress next to the bed with her head higher than her feet. I hope she continues to improve for her own sake and so I can leave the house at some point for more than an hour!
This has been the most intense 3 months of my life so far - I don't know how I have got through it without collapsing as I am also working from home up to 4 hours per day with her in the same room so I can feed and comfort her when needed. DH is brilliant but he doesn't have breasts obviously so can only do so much and has also been, at times, totally at a loss to know what to do for her!
While I love breastfeeding her, at her age (and I know I shouldn't be comparing but...) I expected and needed to get longer blocks of sleep than 1-2 hours which is like a kind of torture though she sleeps through from 8.30pmish to 6ish even without meds but I am a light sleeper and have been getting my boob in her mouth before she can wake up fully - usually around 4 am she would start thrashing around in her sleep and occassionally more and more start crying - which according to the HV is the acid getting to her since she'd been lying flat on her back next to me feeding from breasts with a very fast let down. Incidentally, these issues came to a head I now see when she no longer fussed at my let down so I let her stay on the breast - big mistake, she got totally full of air and milk and ate so fast I think it made a small issue much worse.
For the last few days I have taken her off the breast at the let down, she has been eating more less frequently and today I have to say until she is ready for her sleep she is a different baby and the nought to sixty screaming is not happening...the warnings are coming more gradually I've noticed. I would avoid medicating at all costs unless I felt I couldn't go on and am generally very wary of pharmaceuticals and their companies...thus the thread...however, I feel like a different person today too, as for the first time she slept through the 4 am thrashing - I fed her at midnight then at 3am, I gave her her meds then too, lay down, turned over and it was 6am!
Anyway - if you don't have time to read the full story - maybe you could reply to the first paragraph if relevant?

Ryan White and National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day
Ryan White and National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day
A significant proportion of African Americans living with HIV/AIDS receive care under HRSA's Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program. In 2014, 47.2% of Ryan White clients self-identified as black/African American, according to HRSA's 2014 Client-Level Data Report.
Ryan White Care Makes a Difference
The care that Ryan White provides makes a difference. Overall, Ryan White clients have higher rates of retention in care, and better viral suppression, compared with national data. According to the 2014 RSR Report, the same holds, in general, for Ryan White clients who are African American:
- The percentage of black/African American men who were retained in care (78.7%) was relatively consistent with the national Ryan White average (80.4%), while the percentage who achieved viral suppression was slightly lower (76.6%) than the average (81.4%).
- The percentages of black/African American women who were retained in care (81.8%) and virally suppressed (78.1%) were relatively consistent with the national Ryan White averages (80.4% and 81.4%, respectively).
The Ryan White infrastructure that makes these results possible is comprised of clinical protocols, care engagement models, and other activities that guide the delivery of HIV/AIDS care to populations served by the Ryan White program. The path to further progress can be found in the National HIV/AIDS Strategy and its focus on reducing disparities--especially the HIV care continuum's goal to maximize engagement in care and viral suppression--as well as the Affordable Care Act's mission to expand health care coverage to all Americans.
African American Ryan White Initiatives
In recognition of National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day on February 7 and this year's theme "I Am My Brother's and Sister's Keeper: Fight HIV/AIDS," below is a recap of Ryan White technical assistance, training, and other activities--from models of care to special initiatives.
Engaging Black MSM in Care
HRSA has supported numerous initiatives over the decades to enhance care delivery for hard-hit populations. Among the latest is the Center for Engaging Black MSM Across the Care Continuum (CEBACC), which is in the midst of identifying best practices and effective models for HIV care targeting Black men who have sex with men (BMSM). HRSA is also funding health coverage enrollment assistance for underserved populations, particularly African Americans.

Innovations in Care Delivery
The Ryan White SPNS program is part of the success with Ryan White client outcomes in its decades-long investigation of innovative models of HIV/AIDS care, including those focused on minority and under served populations. One recent example is the Enhancing Access for Women of Color Initiative, 2009-2014.
Some of the findings from this project have been compiled in the implementation guide, Enhancing Access to HIV Care for Women of Color, developed under the IHIP: Integrating HIV Innovative Practices, a HRSA initiative that is turning SPNS innovation into practice with manuals, curricula, webinars, and tools.
Multiple SPNS projects target innovations for African Americans living with HIV/AIDS, including transgender women of color, young MSM of color, substance users (under the buprenorphine initiative), and persons in correctional settings or those soon to be released to the community.

Everyone wants to hit the ball farther.
When they want to hit the ball the longest distance off the tee, they probably grab a driver. But, I notice an issue because some players don't understand their club speed and how this affects how far they hit the ball.
If you can't swing the club at 75 m.p.h. at impact, you can hit a lofted club farther than you can a driver. It's true, some players can't swing a club fast enough to effectively use a driver; they'd be better off using a 3- or a 4-wood.
If you can't swing the club at 75 m.p.h., consider taking a driver-length shaft and replacing the club head with that of a 3- or a 4-wood.
The reason why you'd benefit from this is loft. If you swing the club at 65 m.p.h. the low trajectory of the driver will cause the ball to fly shorter than that of a high-lofted wood.
Without even changing your swing, you may be able to hit the ball farther. If you can't make contact with the ball with a club speed of 75 m.p.h., you shouldn't be using a driver. Consider replacing the driver head with a 3- or a 4-wood club head.

A man's normal morning hike ended with him being sent to the hospital. Police are now searching for the man who allegedly attacked him in broad daylight.
The victim said he was a mile into the popular Wa'ahila Ridge trail in St. Louis Heights when he was assaulted just before 11 a.m. He said a man attacked him from behind, and fought him for his cell phone. The victim was taken to the hospital in serious, but stable condition with cuts on his arms and legs. Hikers on the same trail said they are shocked to hear about what happened.
"I have been coming here all my life since hanabata days. We have never seen anything like that in our lives. It's kind of shocking and surprising," hiker Martin Kalani Eby.
Hikers on other Oahu trails were also surprised about an attack happening during daylight hours. Those on the popular Koko Head trail said it brings up recent concerns they've had about the safety of trails on the island.
"There's more homeless people popping up so I just wouldn't go by myself," said Linda Flores.
"It freaks me out definitely. I haven't lived on the island for too long so it's new surroundings for me, so it does make me a little nervous to be alone," said Elle Harvey.
Those finishing up their hike before dark said they'll only hike in groups. Others will only hike in pairs, or bring along some four-legged protection. But, those brave enough to go alone said they still have strategies to stay out of harms way.
"I try not to veer off from groups of people. I try to bring friends with me at all times," said Scott Kinjo.
Hiking clubs said the key is to always let someone know where you're going and what time you should be back. They said never hike alone, and to be sure to finish your hike when it's still light out.
The alleged attacker on the St. Louis Heights trial is still on the loose. Police say they are in search of a heavy set male in his 30s who was wearing a gray and white T-shirt and shorts.

Finally, a sole assessor in Delaware
May 16, 2012 —
At a public hearing on a local law that would change the current system for selecting assessors in the Town of Delaware from the election of three assessors to the appointment of one assessor by the town board, comments were heavily in favor of the new law. Fifteen people signed up to speak.
The first, Rich Ferber, was the only one to speak against it. One comment was a letter endorsing Linda Schwartz. The remaining 13 commenters spoke up for the law, including three former town assessors (Bob White, Frank Fulton and Renee Ozomek) and Virginia Andkjar (one of the current assessors).
Directly following the hearing, the town board voted on the law. It passed by a vote of three to two.
Town supervisors had been proposing the change in law for years, but previously it had always gone to referendum and been voted down.

Back to all
This report presents a comprehensive appraisal of Earth's climate in 2009, and establishes the last decade as the warmest on record. Reduced extent of Arctic sea ice, glacier volume, and snow cover reflect the effects of rising global temperature.
Recent studies show the world's ocean is heating up as it absorbs most of the extra heat being added to the climate system from the build-up of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere. This climate trend, and many others, are documented in NOAA's newly released 2009 State of the Climate Report.
CalNex—an intense data collection campaign to characterize the complicated interactions of air quality and climate over California—used an array of instruments and platforms this spring for a close look at greenhouse gases and pollutants.
In 2007, Arctic sea ice retreated so dramatically that it broke all previous records for sea ice minimum for July through October. Is this year's summer ice melt season on track to surpass 2007?

Hi, I am a new mom with a couple of questions. My daughter is 10.5 weeks old and has been using a nipple shield since birth to nurse. In the hospital, the LC gave the shield to me because I have flat nipples. I was planning on trying to wean her from using the shield in a week. However, yesterday, I was apparently too slow when she wanted to nurse and she latched on without the shield. I had to correct her latch, but she is still nursing without the shield, which is great.
It appears that she is getting more milk without the use of the shield and her nursing time has gone down from 30 minutes per session to 15 minutes. Still, she spits up a lot after every meal. She used to spit up before, but it is becoming more violent, literally shooting out. Sorry if tmi. Is she getting too much milk? If she is, how can I monitor it so that she isn't spitting up as much?
Thanks in advance!

January 31, 2013 —
NARROWSBURG, NY — After a recent inspection of the Narrowsburg Bridge, a 15 ton weight limit for single vehicles and 27 ton limit for combination vehicles like tractor trailers was placed on the bridge over the Delaware River. Emergency repairs are scheduled to begin in mid-March. From mid-March until the end of May, the bridge will be open to a single lane of traffic during the day, controlled by flaggers. At the end of each day, the bridge will be opened to two lanes of traffic, but the weight restriction will remain in place. After these repairs are complete on one side of the bridge (approximately mid-May), traffic will be moved to the repaired side of the bridge and the weight restriction will be lifted. However, the bridge will remain a single-lane crossing, controlled by a traffic signal, until at least 2015, when permanent repairs are scheduled to begin on the bridge.

The county had reached the $3 million milestone in its reserves.
The news came at the end of a routine county audit of last fiscal year's spending presented to commissioners during their morning meeting.
Silva said that the Texas Association of Counties recommends that they retain at least three months of operating funds which is just more than a million dollars.
The county judge has a loftier goal though.
"As far as reserves, I would love it when I leave office, whether it is at the end of this term if I don't get re-elected or if I get re-elected at the end of the next term, to have somewhere between five and six million dollars in reserves.
"This will give us an unheard of reserve short of when we leased the hospital to Chrisus Spohn," he said.
For the past few budgets, commissioners have been cutting their spending, striving to avoid substantial tax rate increases.
While this conservative budgeting has made it possible to keep the tax rate lower than other areas, it isn't the sole reason the reserves have increased — or in this case about doubled in one fiscal year.
"As I told someone earlier, it wasn't because we are watching every penny," he said.
"I think the Eagle Ford Shale has driven it tremendously.
"It has made it easier for us to get where we are."
And that future looks even brighter — if the industry gurus are correct.
"I think we are poised to see a rise in natural gas prices," he said. "If Bee County has anything, it is natural gas."
Few Eagle Ford wells have yet to be drilled within the confines of the county. Most are being drilled in Karnes County, although many miles of pipelines have been laid through the area.
Having the additional money in the reserves reduces the stress come budget time; however, Silva isn't one to want to spend it all to balance a bloated budget.
"It makes budgeting a whole lot easier," he said, reminding that they would continue to work off lean budgets but possibly award raises and add back some of the services cut during harder times.
This surplus is thanks to the additional money coming in either directly from the oil industry or through sales tax or even payment of past due taxes.
Even this year is shaping up to be better than expected.
Sales tax figures are already at $1.1 million, and the county based its budget on $1.6 million.
Year to date, the county has received about 6 percent more this year than last, or about $49K more.
"I don't know where we will be at the end of the year on sales tax," he said. "I know it will probably be more than we projected."
Linda Bridge, county tax assessor/collector, also reminded that better collection of past due taxes has helped the bottom line. This collection, she said, is thanks to their implementation of the Scofflaw Program which requires people to pay past due taxes, fines and fees before they are able to register their vehicle.
Commissioners are also just days away from another source of revenue — their own hotel/motel occupancy tax funds.
Bridge said that both the state Senate and House have agreed to grant Bee County's wish of collecting HOT funds.
"It is now sitting on the governor's desk," Bridge said.
Being a relatively minor bill for the state, the governor will likely not get around to signing it, and it will become effective simply by default.
"It goes into effect 10 days after it sits on his desk," she said. "It went to the governor on May 7 and will become law on May 17.
The court previously agreed that this money would be used to make repairs and improvements at the Expo Center.

One of the more tantalizing game reveals at Sony's PlayStation Meeting 2013 was Infamous: Second Son, and Sucker Punch Productions has a few more details to share now. Writing on PlayStation Blog, the studio's Brian Fleming shares the first concrete facts about the game's new protagonist and its near-future Seattle setting, picking up seven years after the conclusion of Cole McGrath's own adventures.
Our new superhuman is Delsin Rowe, a 24-year-old dude "who is absolutely convinced he's destined for greatness." He grew up on the outskirts of Seattle (the new game's setting), and was blessed with his abilities after saving passengers from a bus wreck. There's some suggestion that he might have absorbed those powers from one of the people he saved.
The seven-years-later story picks up in a world that is watched over by the bio-terrorist watch organization, Department of Unified Protection (DUP). Delsin falls into their crosshairs, and the latest Infamous adventure ensues, complete with the same sort of branching story that characterized the previous games.

Members of the Doug and Debbie Idsinga family gather Friday to dedicate Curry Road 4 in memory of the couple who were killed in a vehicle accident in August 2006. (Freedom Newspapers: Casey Peacock)
By Casey Peacock: Freedom Newspapers
Doug and Debbie Idsinga's contributions to the area went well beyond the dairy community, according to Roosevelt County Commissioner Dennis Lopez.
Killed in an auto accident last year, the Portales dairyowners are being honored with a sign bearing their name on the road to the Southwest Cheese plant.
Turning a tragedy into a positive was behind the dedication of the road, according to Lopez.
"We just felt they've been a pillar of the community for many years. They had a huge impact on the community, not just the dairy community," Lopez said Friday during a small ceremony.
Family members and friends spoke passionately of the couple and the love they had for their family, friends and community during the short ceremony.
"It means a lot and shows a lot of respect and how my parents impacted everybody's lives in this community and vice versa," Doug Idsinga Jr. said.
"It feels good," daughter Darci Collins said. "It's hard, but it's an awesome thing."
Doug and Debbie Idsinga, both 49, were killed in a car accident in August 2006 near Sudan, Texas. They owned Crosswinds Dairy in Roosevelt County.
"I think it's a great honor for Doug and Debbie. They were very giving people," said close family friend Art Schaap.
The dedication was a joint effort between Curry and Roosevelt counties.
"I'm thrilled just to be here. Thank you for being here and honoring our friends," Curry County Commissioner Albin Smith said.
Plans are also in the works to re-name the dairy barn at the Roosevelt County Fairgrounds in honor of the couple.

Let's play connect the dots. This game will take us from the early days of Haverford College…..New Paltz, NY……botanical gardens and backyards around the world. Albert and Alfred Smiley Class of 1849 built the now National Historic Landmark, Mohonk Mountain House in 1869. Built in the Victorian style, just 90 minutes north of New York City, it has remained under the guidance of the Smiley family. It is one of America's oldest family-owned resorts.
The eastern witchhazel, Hamamelis virginiana is abundant in the woods of the northeast extending south to Missouri. A number of years ago a red form of this native fall blooming witchhazel was found growing on the Mohonk Nature Preserve. What sets this apart from the norm (yellow petals) is that the petals are burgundy/red at the base and diffuse to yellow at the tips and it is lightly scented. They begin blooming in late October and continue today. I have planted Hamamelis virginiana and Hamamelis virginiana 'Mohonk Red' side by side at the northeast corner of the Gardener Athletic Center for easy inspection. 'Mohonk Red' was introduced to commerce by the Arnold Arboretum and has become a nice addition to the autumnal palette of blooming shrubs.
There is still a lot to see in the garden as the last of the blooming shrubs, perennials and bulbs close out the 2011 growing season.

- Abstract
- We analyse the spatially resolved colours of distant galaxies of known redshift in the Hubble Deep Field, using a new technique based on matching resolved four-band colour data to the predictions of evolutionary synthesis models. Given some simplifying assumptions, we demonstrate how our technique is capable of probing the evolutionary history of high-redshift systems, noting the specific advantage of observing galaxies at an epoch closer to the time of their formation. We quantify the relative age, dispersion in age, on-going star formation rate and star formation history of distinct components. We explicitly test for the presence of dust and quantify its effect on our conclusions. To demonstrate the potential of the method, we study the spirals and ellipticals in the near-complete sample of 32 I814<21.9 mag galaxies with z∼0.5 studied by Bouwens, Broadhurst & Silk. The dispersion of the internal colours of a sample of 0.4

Okay. I'll own up. Master Gardener and columnist Gwen DeWitt did not write the column on Kissing Bugs on Aug. 9. And she did not have the nasty bug in her kitchen. I did. An accidental mix-up of our columns' bylines created a small tizzy in our world!
I have also received several concerned comments about Chagas disease. Some clarification is in order. The disease is caused by a protozoan that lives in the gut of the Kissing Bug. If a Kissing Bug bites a human or other mammal, the parasite can be transmitted to the victim. Not all of the bugs carry the parasite; one study showed that less than 50% are carriers. And not all bites result in infection in the victim. However, if a person (or animal) is infected with the parasite, the host's body makes antibodies against it. These antibodies circulate in the bloodstream of the host for the rest of his or her life. So the best way to detect if you have been exposed to Chagas disease is to have your blood checked for the presence of these antibodies. The test, called an immunological test, has been available since 2006. Veterinarians can also order the test for dogs.
There is treatment for Chagas disease. The CDC has okayed two anti-parasitic drugs that seem to work well. However, I am not sure if these drugs can be used in dogs.
The best thing we can do is to avoid getting bitten. Also, we can advance our society's knowledge of the disease by sending any Kissing Bugs we find to the Kissing Bug research team at Texas A&M University. Do not handle the bug directly. Use a Ziploc bag turned inside out over your hand. Capture the bug, and zip it securely inside the bag. On the outside of the bag, or on a slip of paper, record the time, date and location (GPS coordinates are best) and whether the bug was alive or dead. If it was alive, note what it was doing when captured. To kill it (and preserve it), freeze the bagged bug for 24 hours.
The specimen should be sent to the research team at Texas A&M. It is best to e-mail the team at firstname.lastname@example.com for the proper mailing procedure. Attach a photo of the bug along with your email, if at all possible.
The research team is working to determine where the Kissing Bugs are found in Texas and to see how many of them carry the parasite. This information will go a long ways towards helping manage for Chagas disease. I hope you will support this research.

December 4, 2013 —
WAYNE COUNTY, PA — It's December, and holiday music is filling the air throughout Wayne County, thanks to a number of church and community-based musical groups who spend months rehearsing for this time of year.
Handbell ringers
Central United Methodist Church (CUMC) is just one of three churches in Honesdale that has a bell ringers' choir, and there are bell choirs at Hawley and Bethany churches, too. The Wesley Ringers at CUMC are members of the American Guild of English Handbell Ringers, according to the group's director Tammy Ebert. She also directs a teen group called the Hallelujah Ringers and a beginner's group (fourth, fifth and sixth graders) called the King's Ringers.
Monique Lautenschlager, a retired school teacher of 37 years, has been a member of the Wesley Ringers since the group was founded in 1983. She remembers when there were only eight bells and eight people. Now there are about 14 ringers in the Wesley bell choir. Over the years, Lautenschlager has played many of the different sized bells (each size tolls its own note), though she has avoided the largest ones as being too heavy for her. "I just like it," she said of her 30 years in the bell choir. "I never was a good singer," she smiled, so bell ringing was a way to participate in church, to make friendships and to enjoy the camaraderie.
The ringers meet once a week for 90 minutes to practice, to learn new techniques to coax special sounds from their bells (trilling, damping, plucking, shaking, mallets and echo) and to master the more challenging pieces.
This season, here are no public bell choir concerts scheduled, but there will be several good chances to hear a bell choir in church.
Central United Methodist Church, 205 Eleventh St. at church services: Sunday, December 22, 11 a.m. and Christmas Eve, Tuesday, December 24, 8 p.m.
St. John's Lutheran Church at Seventh and Church streets, Honesdale will hear their bell choir on Sunday, December 15, 6 p.m. at the church's German language Christmas service and twice on Christmas Eve, during 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. services.
The Presbyterian Church at Tenth and Church streets, Honesdale, welcome their bell choir on Sunday, December 15, 11 a.m. service and during the church's second service on Christmas Eve at 7 p.m.
The Hawley Methodist Church, 315 Church St., will hear its bell ringers on Sunday, December 15 at 10 a.m. and on Christmas Eve at the 7:30 p.m. service.
Bethany Methodist Church will feature a bell duet at its 8:45 a.m. services on December 8, and its full bell choir at December 15 services.
The Wayne Choralaires
Last Sunday, The Wayne Choralaires kicked off its annual series of holiday concerts with two performances at CUMC in Honesdale. Tonight, Thursday, December 5, the approximately 60-member community chorus will travel over Moosic Mountain to Carbondale for a 7 p.m. concert at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church. And this coming Sunday, December 8 there will be an afternoon concert at Hawley's Blessed Virgin Mary Queen of Peace Church at 2:30 p.m. Admission to all concerts is by free-will donation and helps pay for the purchase of sheet music.
The chorus has been rehearsing since just after Labor Day to prepare for these concerts, an annual holiday tradition that begins early in Advent. "So many people tell us, 'You start off the season for us,'" choral director Patricia Spoor reported. "'It just wouldn't be Christmas without it.'"
This year's theme is "A Christmas Tapestry," and includes both sacred and secular music.
Members in the Choralaires range from 14 years old to 85, and some travel a fair distance to attend rehearsals, from the far north and far south in Wayne County, as well as from Hemlock Farms in Pike County and from Carbondale in Lackawanna County.
The Choralaires have been around for more than 40 years, having been started in the late 1960s at the instigation of Art Fasshauer to sing in Honesdale's summertime concert series of musical events in Central Park, where the chorus still performs every year.
Anyone who thinks he/she can carry a tune is welcome to join, according to Spoor. The only auditions are for solos.
Spoor expresses real pride in the singers and personal joy in being able to direct them. "This is something I always wanted to do… I love to plan the programs, I love teaching music, I love people and the singers are wonderful."
She also spoke of the rewards of singing in a group like this. "New friendships are made," she said. "There's great satisfaction in learning the music, plus there's the euphoria of performing together and seeing the joy on the faces of the people who come to hear us."
Sunday's concert offered a taste of the joy that the Choralaires will be spreading this season.

How to boil an egg is a basic procedure that needs to have a couple of "rules" to follow in order to turn out right.
There are a few suggestions on what to do with your hard-boiled eggs after you master the technique at the end of this post.
So often the yolks have a dark green sulfur ring around them and the whites are rubbery rather than tender. This happens from the eggs being overcooked or being old after they are cooked. The reason they start to stink when they age is due to the sulfur content which is also what makes the green ring around the yolk form, a simple chemical reaction.
You can avoid this and have beautiful boiled eggs by following this method and eating them soon after.
The rules are simple:
- Start with cold water.
- Bring to a boil
- Add salt (only after the water boils)
- Boil for 10 minutes
- Cool quickly in cold water
Cool by running cold water over the cooked eggs until they cool
down. You will need to change the water as it warms up from the hot eggs. Keep the water cool and in about 15 minutes you will have perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs.
A perfectly cooked hard-boiled egg is yellow throughout the yolk
and the whites are tender.
Using this method, they
should be easy to peel. Gently tap the shell on the counter until it cracks. Gently roll the egg so the shell gets cracked all over; then peel the shell off.
Starting with cold water and adding salt after the boil all contribute to successful peeling.
A lot of Europeans will leave their eggs out on the counter, in the US we keep them in the refrigerator. Either way, it is best to start with cold water. Place the eggs in the pot, fill with cold water to cover the eggs by at least an inch or more. This helps keep the eggs from cracking due to temperature change.
Use a pot that can comfortably hold all the eggs you are boiling neatly on the bottom of the pot. There should be enough room for them to roll a little, but not too much. (See the photo of the eggs in the pot earlier in this post) Some people put a small towel in the bottom to cushion the eggs. This is totally unnecessary, but you can do it if you like.
Add salt after the water comes to a boil. This saves the bottom of your cookware from getting pitted from years of salting cold water. Save your cookware, salt only after water boils.
Some people will save the egg cooking water for plants, I don't due to the salt.
The eggs will absorb some of the salt while boiling.
Here is a traditional Southern dish named "Deviled Eggs". I have always been around Deviled Eggs so I am not sure how well-known they are in other parts of the world.
Here in the South, we have dishes known as "egg plates" made specifically for holding Deviled Eggs. I used to have several in different styles but alas, I no longer own an egg plate. Not even an egg plate shaped like a holiday wreath, not a glass one nor a china one. Where did they go? It's not like I swore off ever making deviled eggs again. Puzzling how things come and go. Maybe one day I decided I would rather have the space than the egg plates. I don't recall making that decision.
Be careful when adding the pickle relish. Don't add too much liquid or else your egg filling will be runny. If that happens add some cheese or bread crumbs or go commercial and add xanthan gum to thicken it back up. You could always boil some more eggs too.
Here is the recipe:
Deviled Eggs
- 6 eggs, hard-boiled, split in half.
- 2 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 Tablespoon Sweet Pickle Relish
- 1/8 Teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1/8 Teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Capers
- Chives or scallion for garnish
Remove the yolks from the whites, place the yolks in a bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mash
together with a fork until smooth.
Adjust the quantities of the ingredients to match the yolks and your personal taste.
Spoon the yolk mixture back in to the whites. Top each with a bias cut chive or scallion green.
Sprinkle lightly with sweet paprika and finely ground black pepper.
What else can you do with hard-boiled eggs?
Add them to tuna salad, make egg salad for sandwiches, slice and serve with spinach salad, make Pad Thai and sprinkle chopped hard boiled eggs, peanuts and cilantro over the noodles.
Personally, I can eat them sprinkled with a touch of Fleur de sel.
Main thing to remember, start with cold water and boil only for 10 minutes.
Cooking Note: A "BOIL" is 212°F or when the bubbles roll rapidly and break the surface of the water.

The AIPAC and Harman Scandal
The blogosphere is abuzz after this Jeff Stein piece in CQ Politics, essentially regurgitating old news:
Rep. Jane Harman , the California Democrat with a longtime involvement in intelligence issues, was overheard on an NSA wiretap telling a suspected Israeli agent that she would lobby the Justice Department reduce espionage-related charges against two officials of the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee, the most powerful pro-Israel organization in Washington.
Harman was recorded saying she would "waddle into" the AIPAC case "if you think it'll make a difference," according to two former senior national security officials familiar with the NSA transcript … In exchange for Harman's help, the sources said, the suspected Israeli agent pledged to help lobby Nancy Pelosi , D-Calif., then-House minority leader, to appoint Harman chair of the Intelligence Committee after the 2006 elections, which the Democrats were heavily favored to win.
Seemingly wary of what she had just agreed to, according to an official who read the NSA transcript, Harman hung up after saying, "This conversation doesn't exist."
The fact that Harman was recorded via an NSA wiretap has some in the blogosphere declaring a victory for irony:
There's a large poetic justice factor here in that Harman has been a big defender of potentially abusive surveillance so she doesn't, personally, have much to stand on as an opponent of abusive surveillance when applied to her.
Thinking about that further reenforces (sic) the point that selective, unaccountable surveillance is very dangerous. A president could do a great deal to gin up pretexts to wiretap members of congress and blackmail them even without the members doing anything unusually egregious. But it's also a reminder that we have a political system that's substantially powered by a kind of systematic, quasi-legalized bribery.
Matthew Yglesias' self-righteousness is supposedly justified by the fact that Rep. Harman backed the Bush Administration's terrorist surveillance program, fondly remembered by the left as the inappropriately named "domestic warrantless wiretapping" program. However, Harman was not caught on tape by that program, but instead via a regular, old court-approved wiretap:
It's true that allegations of pro-Israel lobbyists trying to help Harman get the chairmanship of the intelligence panel by lobbying and raising money for Pelosi aren't new.
They were widely reported in 2006, along with allegations that the FBI launched an investigation of Harman that was eventually dropped for a "lack of evidence."
What is new is that Harman is said to have been picked up on a court-approved NSA tap directed at alleged Israel covert action operations in Washington.
Nevertheless, thanks to Harman's transgressions against the anti-war/anti-Bush left, in the form of her support of anti-terrorism activities, she is not getting any sympathy from Democrats. Which is a shame because it doesn't necessarily appear that she's done anything wrong here.
Because the article provides a paucity of specific information, I'm hard-pressed to figure out what Harman's illegal action could have been. All the allegations are to unnamed sources, and there is no indication of what the supposed illegal activity was. The insinuation is that, based on earlier reports, Harman would help out AIPAC in return for the lobbying group raising money for Pelosi, who would then show her appreciation by promoting Harman to the Chairmanship of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Yet the facts as alleged don't even support that theory.
First of all, there is nothing wrong with Harman "waddling into" the AIPAC case merely to advocate for a lighter sentence for the Israeli defendant accused of spying. It may not have been smart, nor exactly savory, but it would not have been illegal as far as I know. If instead Harman had tried to use her official powers to alter the outcome someway (which is not alleged), I could see wher there may some problems. Merely making a case for a lighter sentence does not even begin to rise to that level, however.
Furthermore, I'm not so sure that there is any real quid pro quo here. If after Harman "waddled into" the spy case, AIPAC went to Nancy Pelosi and said "that Harman chick is one swell gal! You should promote to the head of Senate intelligence panel, or something," what would be the problem? Does AIPAC not have the freedom of speech to say they like one congressman over another? Some might think that AIPAC is a foreign lobbyist firm (it's not), and thus should be restricted from certain activities with respect to supporting political appointments, but that's not true. Foreign lobbyists are more restricted when it comes to elections, but no lobbyist is prevented from advocating for the appointment of an already elected official to committee assignment or the like. So, again, based on the information provided, I'm just not sure what the charge is here.
Interestingly enough, if there is anyone who should be worried about this latest report (assuming any of it is true), it is Alberto Gonzales. According to Stein's article, other than the fact that Harman was caught on tape, the only other new news here is that "contrary to reports that the Harman investigation was dropped for 'lack of evidence,' it was Alberto R. Gonzales, President Bush's top counsel and then attorney general, who intervened to stop the Harman probe."
Why? Because, according to three top former national security officials, Gonzales wanted Harman to be able to help defend the administration's warrantless wiretapping program, which was about break in The New York Times and engulf the White House.
As for there being "no evidence" to support the FBI probe, a source with first-hand knowledge of the wiretaps called that "bull****."
The identity of the "suspected Israeli agent" could not be determined with certainty, and officials were extremely skittish about going beyond Harman's involvement to discuss other aspects of the NSA eavesdropping operation against Israeli targets, which remain highly classified.
But according to the former officials familiar with the transcripts, the alleged Israeli agent asked Harman if she could use any influence she had with Gonzales, who became attorney general in 2005, to get the charges against the AIPAC officials reduced to lesser felonies.
Harman responded that Gonzales would be a difficult task, because he "just follows White House orders," but that she might be able to influence lesser officials, according to an official who read the transcript.
According to the rest of the story, the Justice Department and the CIA were ready to conduct a full scale investigation of Harman because of the transcripts, but Gonzales stepped in and stopped it because he needed her help:
According to two officials privy to the events, Gonzales said he "needed Jane" to help support the administration's warrantless wiretapping program, which was about to be exposed by the New York Times.
Harman, he told Goss, had helped persuade the newspaper to hold the wiretap story before, on the eve of the 2004 elections. And although it was too late to stop the Times from publishing now, she could be counted on again to help defend the program
He was right.
On Dec. 21, 2005, in the midst of a firestorm of criticism about the wiretaps, Harman issued a statement defending the operation and slamming the Times, saying, "I believe it essential to U.S. national security, and that its disclosure has damaged critical intelligence capabilities."
Pelosi and Hastert never did get the briefing.
And thanks to grateful Bush administration officials, the investigation of Harman was effectively dead.
The problem with this version of the story is that it fails to allege what wrongdoing Harman was being accused of. Lots of "sources familiar with the transcript" are quoted, although none are named, and not a single person identified which statute or regulation Harman allegedly violated. Why is that?
Of course, regardless of whether Harman had actually committed any crime, if Gonzales called the dogs off for political reasons (as the story asserts), then he has a problem. I don't think it would be obstruction of justice per se since, after all, he was head of the DoJ. Short-circuiting a criminal investigation for political gain, however, is exactly the sort of use of public office that Harman appears to be accused of in the Stein story.
At this point it is difficult, if not impossible, to tell exactly what happened. There are tiny whiffs of spice conjured up here there, but no real meat on any of the bones. Stein even admits at the end of his story that none of the supposed gains bargained for were actually realized:
Ironically, however, nothing much was gained by it.
The Justice Department did not back away from charging AIPAC officials Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman for trafficking in classified information.
Gonzales was engulfed by the NSA warrantless wiretapping scandal.
And Jane Harman was relegated to chairing a House Homeland Security subcommittee.
All of which calls the veracity of the story into question. I don't know what actually went down, and apparently neither does anyone else whose willing to be named. Until there are some solid facts produced and names put behind them, this whole "scandal" looks pretty contrived in my opinion. Which really just leaves two questions: (1) Why this old story now, and (2) Cui bono? Your guess is as good as mine.

UntrustworthySeptember 19,2013
Entergy has yet to prove themselves trustworthy in my eyes.
I have heard them say:
Entergy will honor the Public Service Board as the board on record.
Entergy will not sue the state in federal court using the field pre-emption argument.
If there is no certificate of public good in hand, Entergy will close by March 21, 2012.
Now Entergy states it is ready to shut down the Vermont Yankee reactor for economic reasons.
This should occur on the states terms not on Entergys.
I do not believe anything Entergy says.
At the start of docket 7862 in 2012, Entergy states under oath that it had 528 workers. Now it claims to have 630 workers.
Is Entergy trying to add more workers to the states unemployment lines than it should?
I, for one, would not put it past them.
The day before the Aug. 27 closure announcement, one of the replaced radiation gauges in the facility one that had had spurious readings due to excess electrical noise failed again. Remember it was not broken, it had spurious readings. If it is not broken then why are they now replacing it twice? The lies we have been told
Last year Entergy received compensation from the Department of Energy for the DOEs not taking high-level radioactive waste from 1998 and earlier.
Given that Entergy did not own the reactor or the fuel in 1998, is the company willing to use some of that money to hasten the movement of high-level waste into dry casks?

New development project eyed by Barre's Mayor LauzonBy David Delcore
Staff Writer | March 19,2013Stefan Hard / Staff File Photo
Apartment buildings and Summer Street Auto are seen between West Street and Seminary Street on the west side of Summer Street in this aerial photo of the area being eyed for a new development project in Barre.BARRE Mayor Thomas Lauzon wants to put a Summer Street redevelopment project on steroids by incorporating a senior citizens center and a YMCA-like facility into a proposed complex that he has jokingly referred to as the son of City Place.
With City Place under construction on North Main Street, Lauzon has turned his attention to Summer Street Center a facility that, at a minimum, would provide a new home for the Central Vermont Community Land Trust and the tenants of three apartment buildings that would have to be razed to make room for the structure.
Why stop there? Lauzon asked over the weekend, while updating the City Council on a project that he helped pitch to the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board late last week.
Lauzon told councilors he is exploring the potential for expanding the project to accommodate the recreational needs of some of Barres oldest and youngest residents. That, he said, would require the acquisition and demolition of two more Summer Street buildings one that houses Summer Street Auto and the other, owned by Washington County Mental Health Services, that until recently was home to its CHOICE Academy.
Lauzon said he has reached out to WCMHS Executive Director Paul Dupre, as well as the owner of Summer Street Auto, to discuss redeveloping an entire city block, from Pearl Street to Keith Avenue, on both sides of Summer Street. Those conversations, he stressed, have been very preliminary.
There have been no commitments, Lauzon said. Were still in the kind of planning stages.
Still, Lauzon said, acquiring Summer Street Auto would create a footprint for what could be a 30,000-square-foot building on one side of Summer Street, while the demolition of the largely vacant building owned by WCMHS could make room for a parking lot across the street.
The land trust has already acquired two properties, including three apartment buildings that have been targeted for demolition as part of a proposed campus for the organization. Lauzon said that is pretty much of a sure thing hed just like it to be bigger and better.
My want is to put that project on steroids, he said.
According to Lauzon, adding an 8,000-square-foot senior center wouldnt be a big reach, and a YMCA with an indoor swimming pool isnt outside the realm of possibility given the fact the project would be eligible for the same new markets tax credits that helped make the financing for City Place work.
Lauzon said parking has already been a challenge for the Barre Area Senior Center and spaces are going to be even harder to find as projects like City Place and the redevelopment of the historic Aldrich and Blanchard blocks continue.
A lot of the seniors cant walk six city blocks to get to the senior center, he said.
Lauzon said it would be reasonably easy to provide seniors with more accessible space and doubted it would be tough to find a buyer for the building they currently occupy on North Main Street.
I dont think that building would be empty very long, he said of the current senior center.
A YMCA-type facility, which was a component of one of the earliest versions of City Place, has long been discussed. Lauzon said the idea has been generally well received.
Its a pretty cool start to a project, he said. It addresses some needs in the community.
According to Lauzon, the ground floor of the proposed building would house new offices for the land trust, displaced offices from the WCMHS building across the street, a senior center and a recreation center for youngsters. The buildings second floor would include roughly 30 low-income residential units to replace those that would be demolished.

Golden Parachutes
This is awesome! And of course by "this," I'm referring to Illinois Governor Rod Blago-"trailer hitch" being arrested. What this means is that the past nine months have seen the downfall of the the governors of two of the nation's most populous states. Now, I think that Blago-"I have an itch" definitely takes the cake because you need cojones to straight up extort money in return for a seat in the Senate.
But, Eliot Spitzer's now well-known sexual preferences are nothing to sniff at. And, unlike former President Clinton, at least Spitzer went for a good looking girl (even if he did have to pay for it). Now, the one thing that could make this year complete is if we found out that Arnold Schwarzenegger has been having secret Nazi orgies in one of his California mansions. Europe is already all over this one but there are still 3 weeks left. C'mon, Arnie! Give us the trifecta. We've earned this!
When it comes to things that are not awesome, though, this year's Detroit Lions would have to rank right up there. Yes, like Mr. Lung said, I am a Lions fan. I have always been a Lions fan. Just like I was and remain a Tigers fan, even when they came perilously close to setting a modern day record for futility. The sun is shining in MoTown, though. Matt Millen has left Ford Field and if the Lions can copy the Tigers' story, in about 3 years we should finally see a Lions team that makes it to the Super Bowl! It's bittersweet since history tells us that the Lions will then get destroyed as a result of their quarterback (Graham Harrell? Nate Davis? Scott Mitchell?) fumbling several times leading to back-breaking scores. However, at least we will finally be able to say we played in a Super Bowl!
No, when it comes down to it, things could be much worse. No matter how bad things may appear, at least the Feds don't have you on tape saying:
"I've got this thing and it's f***ing golden, and, uh, uh, I'm just not giving it up for f***in' nothing. I'm not gonna do it. And, and I can always use it. I can parachute me there."
Nice work, Rod. That's some kind of golden f***ing parachute.

Are you speaking of California's Governator? Not to worry. The New York Times reports today that by March, our state will officially be out of money! Hooray for governors everywhere!
God love elected officials! They make the rest of us look even more intelligent. Maybe Rod and Railoa from the Lions could go out together and discuss their people skills.
Congratulations on topping our MLBlogs Top 100 list — just posted. Nice season. Can a parade be far behind?
We would love a parade, Mark. I will ride the fire truck while Allen is pumped with helium and floated above the rooftops!
Wow guys,
Amazing result for 2008. I would love to have the readership you guys have on here……….I am jealous.
Seriously, I love reading your stuff and can't wait for all of us to break out and crank some amzing stuff out the rest of this year, and in 2009.
Again, congrats on being on top of the mountain.

Summer Lovin'1 of 14
By Natasha Burton
Need a little help turning your neglected backyard into the kind of place you'd want to actually spend time in? We asked interior design experts and DIY advocates Betsy Burnham and Max Humphrey, founders of instant/space, to show one couple how to take their backyard from meh to amazing. Steal their tips to do the same in your own yard.
The Everything Yard?2 of 14
The homeowners moved from a tiny apartment in New York City to a spacious townhouse in L.A., with a real backyard. Now that they're settled in and summer's approaching, the couple's turning their attention to the outside. Their goal? To make their 250-square-foot yard into a space that can be used for entertaining and storage, and be kid-friendly at the same time.
Tidy & Tailored3 of 14
Burnham and Humphrey took inspiration from the grounds of a Parisian hotel and went for a tailored, European vibe when re-thinking the yard. "Since the space is small, and the owners want multiple uses from it, we think it's best to go tidy and symmetrical. The space should look manicured, but still be relatively low maintenance. Luckily, it's just about editing and simplifying what's already there," says Burnham.
Dining Out4 of 14
The homeowners want to be able to entertain a group of up to eight people in the space, but worry that the existing table is too large for the yard. Not necessarily, Burnham and Humphrey say. "We suggest removing the tree in the center of the right side, and moving the dining table down there. We'd love to see the table and one bench painted a creamy white." Then, they suggest adding three additional woven dining chairs to add some texture while still keeping the look sleek.
Soft Spot5 of 14
Add a pop of color or pattern with chair cushions or pillows. A graphic French blue print with red piping, on these bolsters, reinforces the European feel. Choose durable, outdoor fabrics that can be left outside and will withstand the outdoor elements.
Rocky Road6 of 14
Put down a layer of inexpensive, small gravel—typically found around European walkways—under the table and chairs. Since the area is mostly shaded and growing grass in the past has been difficult, this will eliminate having to try and grow it and maintain it.
Hedging Your Bets7 of 14
Burnham and Humphrey suggest removing—and then gifting or recycling—all the existing plants, which are a little overgrown. Replacing them with boxwood hedges will outline the yard and better define the space.
Lemon Aid8 of 14
The design pair suggests adding some low-maintenance citrus trees. "Not only do they add a splash of color, but they smell wonderful when they bloom," they say. Available at your garden center or online, the trees come in various sizes and can easily be potted in planters. Simply move the trees indoors if you live in a colder climate during the fall and winter.
Hip & Square9 of 14
Beautiful pots will infuse a fun design element into the space. "Match them, to keep the design simple and elegant, and place two on either side of the door, filled with two lemon trees or ferns, flanking the edges of the tiled area, and at the back of the yard by the dining table," Humphrey suggests.
It's Electric10 of 14
"We'd splurge on an electrician, and add sconces on either side of the door to the house, on the outside wall." They suggest classic fixtures with clean lines. Electricians typically charge by the hour and their rates usually start around $100. If you have more electric work to be done, try and negotiate a day rate—you'll save yourself money in the process doing everything at once.
Twinkle, Twinkle11 of 14
For a festive look perfect for entertaining, Burnham and Humphrey suggest the homeowners string lights from the house to the fence above the newly placed table—similar to what you might find above outdoor French café tables.
Light The Way12 of 14
For added ambiance, use lanterns in various sizes, Burnham suggests. "They look great grouped in clusters on the ground and even on top of the table as a centerpiece." Because small children may be around, use flameless candles for safe, cool-to-the-touch candlelight.
Grill Time13 of 14
One of the couple's concerns was the effect of too much smoke in the backyard from grilling. Burnham and Humphrey say an electric grills, for those willing to part with the standard charcoal variety, is an option. A portable tabletop version (that could be stored in the house or the garage while not in use) will keep the backyard more streamlined.
Storage Solution14 of 14
While the homeowners were interested in potentially adding a basketball hoop for their child, they don't want to make their yard a total kid-nasium—plus they still need some kind of backyard storage for tools. The designers' verdict on the matter? "Choose either tool storage or a basketball hoop, but not both. There just isn't enough room," Humphrey says. "If tools trump basketball, then a storage container can go where the table was located." (If the opposite, they suggest putting a freestanding hoop in that spot instead.)

Prices for some vacuums are going through the roof - costing more than a thousand dollars.
But Consumer Reports says there are plenty of good-performing vacuums that go for a hundred dollars - the price point most people pay.
Consumer Reports takes the job of testing vacuums seriously. It tests uprights, canisters, bagged, and bagless - ranging in price from 50 dollars all the way up to 15-hundred!! The machines are put through a battery of tests. First up? Carpet cleaning - a vacuum's toughest job. Medium-pile rugs are sprinkled with carefully-composed dirt, which is embedded deep into the rug with a 30-pound weight. Then testers pass a vacuum over the carpet 16 times. "We weigh the carpet, as well as the vacuum, to determine how much dirt the vacuum picks up." Testers don't stop there. The vacuums also have to pick up sand from bare floors. Shedding pets present another big challenge for vacuums. Consumer Reports uses real cat hair embedded into carpet to see how well the vacuums can handle that, too. So do you have to shell out big bucks to get a top-performing vacuum?
John Galeotafiore, "There are very good vacuums that cost 3, 4, even 700 dollars. But we found several that were near the top of our ratings that cost about 100." Those include the Eureka AirSpeed, a bagless vacuum that's excellent on bare floors and impressive at cleaning carpet. For a bagged vacuum, consider the Hoover Widepath Tempo. It rated excellent for cleaning both bare floors and carpet. If you are looking for a canister vacuum, Consumer Reports says unfortunately you won't find one for even close to a hundred dollars.
Testers recommend the 500-dollar Kenmore Intuition model number 28014. It excels at cleaning bare floors and pet hair.
I'm Martha Koloski with today's On Your side. ."

Hello, I have been exclusively breastfeeding my son for 9 months. I have never been able to pump, although I have tried many, many times over the months. When I pump, I only get a miniscule amount of milk, sometimes enough to barely cover the bottom of the bottle, sometimes not even that much.
I have only tried to pump between feedings, since I don't work outside the home.
I have a Medela Swing pump, but I also rented a "good" pump from the hospital, to see if my pump was the problem and this did not make a difference. I have tried every size of breast shield out there and that didn't make a difference either. I am unable to express milk using manual, hand expression either. I can get a drop or two to appear on my nipple, but that's all.
I have large breasts, I don't know if that makes pumping harder. I have always felt like I have a low milk supply. I have NEVER leaked milk, not even in the first weeks. My breasts have never felt full or engorged. I have never felt a let-down.
I know there's milk in there because I've been feeding my baby for 9 months!! He is allergic to milk (vomiting, hives, wheezing, lethargy = scary!) as well as several other foods, so I don't want to give him formula and skip nursing sessions in order to pump.
So, my question is: WHY CAN'T I PUMP MILK!!???? I would really, really love a night out with the girls or a movie night with my hubby or really, just any chance to be away from my baby for more than 2 hours, which I haven't had since he was born 9 months ago.
I have tried visualization, smelling baby, holding and nursing baby on other breast, etc. It didn't help. I haven't tried any galactagouges (sp?) because my baby has always been growing and seems healthy, hitting all his milestones, enough poop and pee, etc.
Any advice on how I could get more milk when pumping? Thank you so much in advance!
