So we FINALLY got our Arctic Front polar bear outfits and they have already been deployed to unknown regions throughout Alberta.
I mean these guys could show up anywhere. Keep an eye out here for any "politician-polar bear interfaces" that are expected to occur very soon.
You can also check out our "Arctic Front" Flickr photo section here for updated event photos.

Polar bears
Will you be stressing that the tar sands 'development' should be stopped for the sake of polar bears?
A lot of people already seem to think that global warming is only a problem in the arctic. Often it seems that only polar bears are affected.
To be frank, there isn't going to be much societal change for the sake of arctic wildlife.

Sake of polar bears
While polar bear popultions are no doubt important we're focusing on the environmental effects of the tar sands with "polar bears" as our messenger.

Polar bears
It certainly is a tragedy that we are killing off the polar bears, and it's great that you're taking a stand against the tar sands, but please try to stress impacts of the tar sands outside of the arctic to counterbalance the tacit–if not explicit (as you are the "arctic front", after all)– message you'll be giving off to the effect that the consequences of tar sands extraction are only a problem in the arctic. That message already has been drilled into people's heads, so it won't take much for people to bring those views to your campaign.
Kevin Grandia replied on Permalink
Thanks for the insight Toban, I agree with your analysis.

Why do you persist in
Why do you persist in calling Athabasca the "oil" sands. It's bitumen, a form of tar, that must be refined, at considerable energy and evironmental cost, to produce a synthetic oil. If it was indeed oil, much of the problem wouldn't exist. Please, "oil sands" is a PR term, in effect a greenwashing of Athabasca. You should know better than to fall for that.
Kevin Grandia replied on Permalink
Opinion research
Thanks I've heard this point made many times. Looking at opinion research, people do not react any differently to the term oil sands versus tar sands.
Past that, looking at google search volumes for both the terms - a lot of people search for the term "oil sands" while very few if any search for "tar sands." So as far as reaching an audience through google (a top referrer for us), it makes more sense to target for a term people are searching for.

Tar sands
If they actually were oil sands, world "peak oil" also wouldn't be such a problem.
That shower photo scares the crap out of me!

Polar Bears and "Tar" Sands?
Where are you guys coming from??? The polar bear numbers are not in decline! Ask the Inuit, there are more polar bears now than there have been for decades. An official count was done over 1 year ago, why did you ignore it?
Tar is man-made. The Oilsands contain Bitumen, clay, sand and water. These are all naturally occurring. The oil that is extracted from the bitumen is oil, it is not "synthetic", thus the term Oilsands is obviously the correct term. I don't think you are hurting anyone's feelings when you call it the "tarsands", people seem to think that it is a derogatory term. It isn't, it is just incorrect.

Residents and visitors to Goliad have recently noticed that the Von Dohlen Building no longer has a pharmacy located in it.
My family partnership owns the Von Dohlen Building and has chosen not to renew the lease for Goliad Pharmacy.
The Von Dohlen Building, located on the square in downtown Goliad, has been a Goliad business hub and home to a pharmacy since the early 1900's. Negotiations for lease renewal were stopped when the majority owners of the pharmacy insisted on stocking and dispensing certain medicines that end innocent human life.
The drugs in question include the Morning After Pill, Ella (similar to RU486) and Depo-Provera. All three drugs are marketed as contraceptives but are in fact abortifacient drugs, meaning they can cause a newly created child to be aborted. In addition, these drugs can have numerous side effects including the risk of blood clots, pulmonary embolisms, stroke and certain forms of cancer.
Nobody knows better than me how important a pharmacy is in a small town like Goliad. But if it's selling the wrong drugs, that cannot be acceptable.
Healthcare in general and pharmacy in particular are changing rapidly. Most new drugs are wonderful discoveries that help people. However, some drugs have long term negative impacts on patients. As a pharmacist myself, sharing the truth and reality about certain drugs' effects on the health and safety of women and respecting the dignity of every human life is a professional responsibility. It is also a deeply held belief of mine.
I would like to encourage the people of Goliad to join me in standing up for the right to life of unborn children by letting the owners and employees of Goliad Pharmacy know how they feel and ask them not to sell such products.
For more information, read my open letter to the people of Goliad, which is printed in this newspaper.

Too much fun, too much sun, flip me I'm done
5/26/10 Rockies vs D-Backs
Today was our trip to Elitches. The plan was to visit there before school was finished to avoid waiting two hours in line for each ride.
That was the plan…When we arrived at Elitch Gardens in downtown Denver we noticed a string of school busses. At first I was like "HUH", but Krista informed me that during the last week some classes schedule a field trip.
One look at the long line of school busses and I knew our plan was shot to hell. What ensued was a fun day filled with long waits, strange teenagers and sore feet. As far as rides go I hopped on a couple and was done for the day. Elitches normally has a good mix of people of all ages but today it was primarily screaming 13-16 year olds.
I did go on the wooden Roller coaster called the Twister 2…Here's the video I shot of the ride. My video turned out much better this time.
Hunter, Krista and Mylee on the Sea Dragon.
A few shots of Denver.
By the time we escaped Elitches it was close to 4pm and we were fried…Mentally and physically. We still had a baseball game to attend.
The plan was to head over for batting practice and see how things go.
Hunter informed us as we were waiting in line at the BP gates that he would snag the first ball of the day and sure enough he did. He and Mylee were this first ones inside Coors Field and Hunter was quick and reached the outfield rail the same time as a player.
That's twice in a row for him. Krista shot the video and took all the pictures today. She does an excellent job I think.
Mylee first ball was tossed up to her by Jason Hammel. Shortly after that I saw Hunter running after a ball that had been hit to the far right of the pavilion. Then I saw him celebrating holding up his arms .
Hunter had just snagged his first BP homer.
He's probably snagged a hundred baseballs but all of them have been toss-ups from players or bobbled toss-ups he managed to scramble for.
You are looking at one happy kid. He's smooth like his dad 🙂.
*Note the fact that "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" was playing in the background…Too Cool.
Here's Hunter and another kid scrambling for a toss up. The other kid got it.
I had a chance at a ground rule double but it was deflected at the last second and the deflection knocked the ball out of my reach…No worries, she almost palmed it.
The kids decided they wanted to each give one of the baseballs they had snagged away. I thought that was a great idea.
Here's Hunter giving away a baseball.
Here's Mylee doing the same.
Share the love, I've got great kids.
Here's Douglas bobbling one. Sorry Douglas next time I'll post video of you catching one.
Rant reader Queen Geri stopped by the pavilion and said hi.
I had mentioned a few months back it might be cool to tour where she works in the uniforms/alterations dept.
She stopped by to say I could take the tour anytime. Thank you Geri. She also asked me if I knew that there was an MLB Authenticator at every baseball game. I told her that I did and that I had learned about it by reading Zack Hample's blog.
There may be a small chance of me getting to ask the MLB Authenticator at Coors Field a few questions.
If you could ask an MLB Authenticator any question. What would you ask?
Dan and Emily
Two of Myee's three. Tom enjoying an up front and personal batting practice.
By the time batting practice was done we were too. We packed up, headed home and watched the game on TV. Sounds crazy but we only paid six bucks for tickets.
Rockies get the win over the D-Backs 3-2

Great pics, and sounds like a great way to officially kick off the summer.
'Minoring In Baseball'
You know, when Tim and I finally make it to Denver (whenever that is), I feel like I'll already know everyone in the outfield. You guys really seem to have a nice little community at the ballpark. Very cool.
I noticed the Devil Goes Down to GA and thought that was pretty sweet before I saw your comment about it. Cool, man.
MIKE-Thanks brotha I agree.
TODD-Great group of regulars here Todd. Eventually you'll have to come out here to Coors to get your Rockies ice cream helmet🙂 …D
Looks like a great day! And yes, you should be very proud of your kids! Can't believe that out of the 5 games I've been to so far this season, I've only gotten to one BP (Opening Day. . . not so fun because of the crowd, LOL). Ah well, we'll see ya soon. 😀
Great fun D. I am incredibly jealous of all the BP baseballs. And six bucks to get in? Can't wait to get back to Denver.
Ever year when the Rays pop out their promotional calendar, I always circle in RED the days they give out the classic "Thunderstixs". Those days have come to symbolize the masses of Park and Recreation busses pulling into Tropicana Field and the highly fueled sugar rush from cotton candy and soda of kids from 6 -to- 16 filling the stands all hitting themselves with the blow-up swords.
Of course the items are made for cheering, but they have made most of the regular fans head for the hills on those days, or give tickets to people they really do not like too much….or they would have told them what was waiting for them that afternoon.
But in the end, it is the kids who leave with smiles and the experience of baseball…..So it can't be all bad unless you are Royals starter Zack grienke, then it just seems so carnivalish.
Rays Renegade
LUVMYROX-I'm due to run into you one of these games🙂.
M-Best bargain in Baseball I think.
RAYSREN-Great choice of words"Carnivalilsh" and "Head for the hills" I love it.. As long as the kids have fun it's all good right?

White House Release Super Duper Dire We're Doomed List Of State By State Sequestration Results
Leading by fear-mongering
(The Blaze) On Sunday, the White House continued its effort to prevent the $85 billion in automatic spending cuts known as "sequestration" from starting this Friday, releasing a dramatic state-by-state list of how they claim each state will be impacted if Congress fails to act.
It's worth remembering that the "cut" is only to the projected increase in spending, not to what we are currently spending.
That last part surely can't be correct: Obama's not saying that. Most of the Legacy Media isn't saying that. Democrats aren't saying that. Of course, in Washington a tiny reduction in the rate of future spending is considered a draconian cut that will mean the elimination of school meals for every kid and riots in the streets (but not the kids, because they'll be hungry to riot).
White House political director Dan Pfeiffer said on a call Sunday, according to the Hill, that the sequester is only going to happen if Republicans refuse to compromise.
He added: "Republicans are making a policy choice that these cuts are better for the economy than eliminating tax loopholes that benefit the wealthy."
If someone is constantly insulting you, do you work with them? But, this is part of the Obama management and leadership style. We've seen it time and time again. However, Americans voted for fear-mongering, blamestorming, and train-loads of mule fritters over competent leadership and a way out of this economic malaise.
House Speaker John Boehner's spokesman Michael Steel said in a statement: "Republicans in the House have voted — twice — to replace President Obama's sequester with smarter spending cuts. The White House needs to spend less time explaining to the press how bad the sequester will be and more time actually working to stop it."
It's a nice statement, but perhaps it's time for Republicans like Boehner to stop being pleasant and go for the jugular.
The article has a list (that comes from the Wall Street Journal) of all the world ending tiny reductions in spending growth that are completely over the top. Shock face.

Virginia's 2010 "Teacher of the Year" Visits BSC to Inspire a New Generation of Teachers (w/photo)
CreatedMonday, October 11 2010
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 firstname.lastname@example.com
|Cathy Webb (center), the 2010 Virginia "Teacher of the Year," recently addressed Bluefield State College Education program students during a recent visit to the College. She is pictured with Dr. Tom Blevins (left) BSC Dean of the Virtual College, Technology and the School of Education; Professor, English/Education, and Dr. Elisabeth Steenken (right), BSC Director of Teacher Education; Associate Professor, Education
(Bluefield)—The 2010 Virginia "Teacher of the Year," Cathy Webb, shared her life and career experiences with a group of Bluefield State College Education Program seniors during a recent presentation at the College. A speech pathologist and teacher of students with autism at Macy McClaugerty, Pearisburg (VA) Elementary/Middle School, Webb encouraged her audience to cultivate a passion for the profession by developing a caring relationship for the students and their parents.
"I never intended to become a teacher," Webb recounted. "However, after some time in a public school setting, I fell in love with the job, and the job became a passion—a quest to help students and their families." She told her audience that the job could and should become a quest for more knowledge, better teaching strategies, improved student outcomes and parental involvement.
"I encourage each of you," she said, "to maintain a passion and optimism in your work, considering the very real possibility that you could be the key to the child who has not yet experienced success."
Dr. Betsy Steenken, Director of BSC's Teacher Education Program, invited Webb to address the students, who are preparing to enter area public schools as student teachers. "I have known Cathy since we taught together at Narrows Elementary/Middle School (Giles Co., VA) in the 1980s. She was the same amazing teacher then and has only increased her passion for helping all her students succeed. "I wanted our students to hear from someone who had taught for nearly 30 years and remains enthusiastic and energized about her profession. Everyone who meets her quickly understands why she was chosen "Virginia Teacher of the Year" she said.
"I thought bringing Cathy to BSC provided a great opportunity for our teacher candidates to meet an outstanding professional who is a lifetime resident of this region," Steenken added. "She makes us all proud of our profession and reminds us why we become teachers," she concluded.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Playskool, of Pawtucket, R.I., is voluntarily recalling about 255,000 Team Talkin' Tool Bench toys following the deaths of two young children.
Playskool received reports that a 19-month-old boy from Martinsburg, W.V., and a 2-year-old boy from League City, Texas, suffocated when oversized, plastic toy nails sold with the tool bench toys became forcefully lodged in their throats. Though the toy nails are not considered a small-part, and the toys are intended for children age 3 and older, Playskool is voluntarily conducting a recall as a precaution to prevent additional incidents.
The Team Talkin' Tool Bench™ is a 20-inch tall plastic toy tool bench with an animated red toy saw, a yellow toy drill and a blue toy vice. The toy talks and makes various sound effects, including tool sounds. The product also includes a toy hammer, screwdriver, two 2¼-inch plastic screws, two 3-inch plastic nails and pieces to build a small toy plane. The red Playskool logo is on the front of the brown surface of the tool bench.
The toy was sold at Toys R Us, Wal-Mart, Target, KB Toys stores and various other stores nationwide from October 2005 through September 2006 for about $35.
Consumers should immediately take the two toy nails away from children and contact Playskool to get information on returning the nails for a $50 certificate for a Playskool (or its related companies') product.

How To's
Baking with Butter
Browning Butter
Browned butter adds a rich, distinctive flavor to baked goods and frostings.
- Place butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat.
- Melt butter, stirring occasionally. As the butter heats, it will foam.
- Continue heating until butter becomes a rich caramel color, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
Softening Butter
In most cases, butter that will be mixed with other ingredients—for example, butter to be creamed or blended with sugar—should be softened. Softened butter should never be gooey or oily, but rather still slightly cool and pliable. Butter can be softened by leaving it at room temperature, or by bashing or smearing it. To bash butter, place the sticks of butter between two sheets of waxed paper and beat the butter with the end of a rolling pin. The same results can be achieved by placing the butter on a work surface and smearing tablespoon-sized pieces across the surface with the heels of your hands. You can also soften butter in a microwave oven, but it's a bit trickier—a second or two too long, and the butter may melt.

This is a long post, so please read it before blasting me for forcefully weaning my son. I don't want to; it's not a choice.
I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus when I was 15. At 25, I was declared in remission, and we decided to take advantage of it and have a baby. I have been exceptionally lucky - I have remained in remission through the entire pregnancy and for 16mos of my son's life.
Now, he is 16.5mos old and my SLE is back. Full force. I went in to see my rheumatologist today because my hands are too sore/swollen to hold a pen or pencil and write, and my knees to swollen for me to crouch down onto the floor to be with my son or to do my parttime job (i'm a dog trainer), and my shoulder hurts so much, it's waking me at night.
My doctor said I'm worse than she's seen me in years, and I have been put on a pulse treatment of Prednisone. I will be on it for about a month, and she says at the end of the month, she wants to put me on CellCept (mycophenolate; Hale's lists it as an L4). I've done well on CellCept in the past; I am allergic to most of the other drug options (having been on the majority of them in 13yr of having SLE).
I am hoping to avoid CellCept in a month. I am willing to change my diet as much as possible (more raw fruit/veg, raw smoothies daily, etc) and do everything in my power to nudge this symptom flare away and allow me to continue nursing my son, but I'm terrified that in one month, I will be told to wean my little man.
He still nurses multiple times every day. He nurses upon waking in the morning (we cosleep), and nurses anytime he gets hurt or frustrated, nurses because it occurs to him that he wants to/is hungry, and nurses to fall asleep for naps and at night. He also wakes at least once or twice most nights to nurse.
I figure the best place to start would be night weaning. I really, REALLY do not want to do this. I know in my heart that the best thing for him is to nurse until he's at least 2yr, but my doctor says the risk of organ involvement in SLE is too high and so I have to wean him.
I have read what Hale recommends when CellCept is indicated, but I won't see my doctor again for a month to ask her if I could be put on cyclosporine (an L3) instead. So I'm going on the belief that in roughly a month and a half, I won't be able to nurse my little nursling anymore.
Please give me some tips for gentle, loving night weaning. Ideally, I would like to be able to get him to sleep at naps and bedtime and to get him back to sleep upon waking at night without nursing him.
There is no one else to help; my husband works from 2pm-12am, and has school from 11am-7pm two days a week (the two days he's not working), so I am the one who will have to get baby to sleep for naps/bed.
Thank you so much for reading this, and thank you for any advice you may have.

Nexus Mod Manager version 0.14.1 out nowposted by Dark0ne Game NewsIt's been a hectic day today. The astute among you will have noticed we've done a domain move on every Nexus site to subdomains of our new central domain, nexusmods.com. Don't worry, we're not making any funky visual changes to the sites! It's just better for us this way.
In between all the crazy name server and DNS changes (and all the issues they bring with them!), Kaburke has managed to get the latest version of the Nexus Mod Manager out and available for download. Version 0.14.1 adds some super cool and much needed UI tweaks and features that make the program look more modern, and more functional!
We've stuck the download manager at the bottom of the program, and it will pop-up and show you your download activity if you start a new download. You can choose to move this back to where it was before if you prefer, but I think it's way better in this latest version! Talking of downloads you will now be able to see your download speed within NMM. Normal members are limited to 500kb/sec per file and Premium Members are able to use up to 4MB/sec per file and both normal member downloads and Premium Member downloads are multi-threaded. That basically means if you are far away from the file servers and wouldn't normally be able to download as fast as possible, you should be able to now. And you don't need to do a thing to make that happen.
The UI is now much more customisable. You can move the tabs about to suit your needs, and you can even "pull" them out of NMM in to their own separate windows. You might find that handy for debugging certain things. Or if windows really rock your boat! If you make a mess of things and can't work out how to get it all back to normal there's a setting under the Tools icon to reset your UI back to the default, so no worries there.
NMM is really starting to gear-up and play the part now and I'm really happy with how it's starting to look. We've got lots and lots of things we still want to do and get in to the program, and we'll get around to it all eventually. Some people have mentioned the fact that the download page for NMM is hard to find on the sites, and that's a conscious decision I've made to not advertise the program too much because we are still in open beta with the program. Having said that, we're almost at the 250,000 unique downloads mark for the program, so word-of-mouth really does speak for itself. Version 0.14.1 will mark the start of when I begin to advertise NMM on the sites so you'll see some more visible links to the Mod Manager page and how and where to download the program on the sites soon. I think it's time to get the word out.
Edit: It should also be noted that for some people, the domain changes today will have caused a few glitches and errors that you might still be experiencing. These will go away within the next 24 hours depending on how fast your ISP is to update their DNS caching.

I recently wrote about how the texting- and talking-while-driving bans have changed the way I communicate. While I am abiding by the laws and using a headset when I do talk on the phone, I unfortunately didn't convey that very well.
Many readers attacked me for my selfishness, calling me a self-involved idiot and accusing me of not caring for my children. Some told me that I am going to cause an accident, which we all know texting while driving can do.
Although some of these readers would disagree, I care about my children and their safety as much as any good parent does. I'm the one to check on them at night to make sure they are breathing, the one who sweeps their mouths for any questionable-size food item, the one who stays up all night when one has even a sniffle. However, I do take hands-free phone calls while driving on occasion. I don't smoke or drink or read books -- I've witnessed that during rush hour -- while I drive, but yes, sometimes I talk.
All the nasty e-mails got me thinking about what else these perfect parents out there would find wrong. My children sometimes watch more TV than they should. There is not a day that goes by that I don't hear a 2-year-old voice say, "Me watch Dora" or "Dinosaur show." They sometimes have more snacks than they need and, yes, I have made the mistake of buying a few items with Red 40 in them.
As I watch my children thrive, I realize I'm doing a decent job, loading them up with the good stuff in life and limiting the bad.
But here's another thing that the haters would jump on: My children -- horror of horrors -- have appeared on my Facebook page. I resisted joining the site for a few years after it became popular; I saw it as a college kid thing.
But when my friends and even parents signed up, I realized it was an easy way to communicate -- even if it's superficially -- with people in my life who I don't get to see often. It proved invaluable in planning a recent high school reunion, and it's great to see what my friends who are too busy with their kids now are up to.
What I quickly found is that photos upload so quickly on the site that I could also share pics of my family and me without sending annoying e-mails saying, "Look at us." If my friends don't want to see the photos, they just don't look. I don't publish them to the "news feed," nor do I advertise in any way when I post new ones. They have to come to my page to find them.
Yet all this Facebook privacy talk started to worry me months ago. I have watched enough "Are Your Children Safe?" news stories to know of the dangers that children face. So was I setting them up for exploitation, identity theft or some other evil I didn't even know about?
My husband would be the first to jump on me. When my friends started listing their children's names as part of their Facebook family tree information, I did the same. I am proud of my children and saw no harm in listing their names as my children.
But my children do not have their own Facebook pages, and how do I know that I'm not handing out their information to the wrong people? Doesn't it just take a name and birthdate for a thief to do his dirty work?
So I deleted their names one day, and no one even noticed. I've also drastically reduced the number of images that can be seen by my friends in my private profile. Realizing I have Facebook friends who I rarely see or speak to, I thought it was good time to protect my children from prying eyes.
I hate to become a mom who lives in fear, assuming everyone is out to harm my children, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. So my children's smiling faces can be found on my Facebook page, just not as often as they used to be and never in a shot that would make them feel uncomfortable, now or years from now.
I will never claim to be a perfect parent, nor will I ever attack other people unless they are clearly harming their children. All I can say is that my children are my top priority and my biggest accomplishment. But Facebook doesn't have to shout it for me to get my point across.

That Fire Still Burns
Thing about it, though, is that Tony's anger and frustration, actually renewed me being a fan of his. Not that I was slipping any, but I had wondered if that fire of his had started to go just a little bit. Yesterday proved it hasn't, and it really made me feel good to see him that fired up and angry about it. He still wants it as bad as anybody - and more than most - and that is great to see.
I think we're looking at the favorite to knock off the 48 this year, that's no sure thing, Johnson might not have set the world on fire but that about like the Yankees losing on opening day (again, doesn't mean a thing). Wait until it counts, but right now, I'm excited about the prospects for our guy and that No. 14 Office Depot/Mobil 1/Burger King/Coca-Cola/El Monterrey/US Army/Bass Pro Shops/Ritz Crackers/Haas Automation Chevrolet team.
Yes that was my Mikey Waltrip imitation.

Governor touts worker programs, new grantsBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | August 01,2013Toby Talbot / AP Photo
Vermont Labor Secretary Annie Noonan speaks at a news conference Wednesdayin Montpelier, discussing two federal grants to help unemployed people start new businesses and $1 million to enhance training programs.MONTPELIER A $1 million federal grant will keep alive a state program credited with reducing the amount of time it takes laid-off Vermonters to find work.
Gov. Peter Shumlin said Wednesday the so-called Re-employment and Eligibility Assessment program is among the initiatives hell use to combat an unemployment problem worsened recently by the layoff of more than 400 workers at IBM.
While Vermont still has the fourth-lowest unemployment rate in the nation, jobless numbers here jumped by 10 percent during the last two months as tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a trend that runs counter to the mission statement of the states second-term Democratic governor.
My top priority as governor is jobs and job creation, and expanding the income of Vermonters that have jobs, Shumlin said Wednesday.
At a news conference at the offices of Cabot Creamery in Montpelier, Shumlin outlined a workforce development plan aimed at tailoring workers skills to the needs of Vermont employers.
In addition to the REA program, Shumlin highlighted a piece of recently signed legislation that calls for an inventory of the universe of job training programs.
Lawmakers who helped write the bill said the analysis will separate the wheat from the chaff and allow the state to redirect money toward more productive and relevant training programs.
Rep. Michelle Kupersmith, a Burlington Democrat and clerk of the House Committee on Economic Development, said decent-paying jobs exist. But out-of-work Vermonters, she said, are finding themselves without the skills needed to land them.
Vermonters have said to us very clearly We hear about these jobs, but every time we apply, were told we dont have the experience or skills to do it. We get shut out, Kupersmith said. Were realizing theres a disconnect between what those opportunities are and what (job training programs) Vermonters are actually accessing.
Labor Commissioner Annie Noonan said the REA program for which Vermont has won renewed funding is among her departments success stories. Jobless Vermonters who participated in the program, which was introduced in 2012, spent on average 30 percent less time on unemployment than people who did not.
The grant has funded one REA staff member in each of the departments 12 district offices around the state. Noonan said the program includes at least three counseling sessions for each newly unemployed Vermonter, sessions in which theyre given a customized plan of action for returning to work.
That (REA staff person) actually spends time just understanding who you are as an unemployed Vermonter, what you like to do, what are your aspirations, and then works with you to place you to do job development, on-the-job training to make a connection to a job that you can be successful in, Noonan said.
The program served 4,458 people in 2012, according to the Labor Department, and is expected to reach an additional 10,000 in 2013.
Shumlin said hes optimistic the inventory of workforce development programs will help solve a frustrating situation that has seen thousands of Vermonters remain without work even as companies near them advertise open positions.
For the first time in the states history weve said, Hey, theres a lot of both private and public money that we spend to ensure were training workers to do the work that we have in Vermont, but how well are we doing that and how can we better coordinate that effort to ensure were spending the dollars on jobs and skills that we actually need? Shumlin said.
Noonan said the pending arrival of AnC Bio, a tech firm slated to begin operations in the Northeast Kingdom, lends urgency to the workforce development overhaul. The company will have 250 openings for employees with some expertise in clean-room technology.
No one does that right now, and through this review, were going to be able to figure out who has money and who could put money toward training programs for clean-room technology, Noonan said.
Shumlin also touted the receipt of a $50,000 federal grant designed to help the long-term unemployed start their own businesses. The program will match would-be entrepreneurs with mentors who can help them realize their business plans and connect them with the array of state and federal programs from which they could be eligible for financial assistance.

Laurier Brantford journalism student wins David S. Barr Award
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Nov 28/11
When Laurier Brantford student Meagan Gillmore wrote an article about the south side of Colborne Street in Brantford for The Sputnik in the spring of 2010, she had no idea that it would lead her to Baltimore, Maryland a year and a half later.
In May, Gillmore found out she had been selected as the winner of the David S. Barr Award for her article, Colborne Street Revisited.
I was surprised, even though I was confident the story was good, said Gillmore, a Brantford resident who graduated from Laurier Brantford in June with a BA in English and Journalism (high distinction) and general Contemporary Studies.
The David S. Barr Award is administered by the Newspaper Writers Guild Communication Workers of America in Washington, DC. The award recognizes one high school and one college or university student from North America each year for achievement in journalism, and encourages young journalists to focus on issues of social justice.
Gillmore accepted the award at a ceremony in Baltimore in October.
The Canadian representatives seemed pretty enthusiastic about a Canadian winning the award, said Gillmore of the awards ceremony. I gave my acceptance speech, and the president of the Newspaper Guild came up to me after and said he liked it.
Gillmore began writing for The Sputnik in her second year, eventually becoming the features editor. She received the Arthur Calbeck memorial scholarship in her fourth year, and won the Story of the Year award in 2008-2009 from Wilfrid Laurier University Student Publications, and Volunteer of the Year for 2010-2011.
Gillmore has her sights set on a future in print journalism. She is drawn to magazine writing, but also sees the appeal of local news because of the sense of place and community attached to it.
Being involved in student journalism was not without its challenges, but its something Im passionate about, said Gillmore. Its important to me to not only tell good stories, but to help people live good stories.

The Beretta M9A1 tactical pistol evolved from the base design of the
battle-tested and proven M9, with input from military and law
enforcement agencies around the world. Developed to meet the demanding
requirements of the US Marine Corps, the M9A1 incorporates the
established reliability and performance of the M9, with added features
needed for the ever-changing missions of peacekeeping forces. Thanks to
its accuracy, durability and versatility, it also makes a superb choice
for personal or home-defense as well as concealed carry.
Just as the US Marines are rightly famous for their reliability and
endurance, the M9A1 is built to be ultra-tough and always dependable.
Besides the superior steels of which it is constructed, it also features
a unique sand-resistant magazine that was developed for the sandy
environments of Iraq and Afghanistan and comes standard only on the
M9A1. The special PVD coating reduces friction, while the magazine tube
design reduces the possibility of grit accumulation within the round
column, greatly increasing the reliability and functioning of the M9A1
even in the most extreme conditions.
As you take the M9A1 out of the box, it won't fail to impress you for
the abundance of tactical features it offers. Firstly, there is an
integral Picatinny MIL-STD-1913 rail situated under the barrel, for easy
attachment of accessories such as tactical lights and laser aiming
devices. The 3-dot sight system on this pistol is optimized for quick
acquisition of the target, while the front and backstrap of the frame
are checkered to ensure a positive purchase no matter the weather
conditions. Also, the magazine well has an aggressive internal bevel to
facilitate fast tactical reloads in combat as well as competition
At the range, the M9A1 will impress you for its low recoil, as well as
its accuracy. As one of the ultimate evolutions of a best-in-class
military and law-enforcement pistol, it will reliably feed commercial
ammo, even with more open hollow-point designs. Maintenance is easy:
this pistol requires no tools for disassembly, while the reverse is even
faster and easier, with the disassembly lever returning into the locked
position automatically. Thanks to all these features, the M9A1 is an
ideal tactical pistol that will meet the requirements of the most
demanding users.

Woman sheds 100 pounds for the Army
Karyna Douglass dreamed of enlisting, but didn't meet weight requirements
Karyna Douglass is on a mission. She dreamed of joining the Army, but when she found out she didn't meet the weight requirements she decided to lose 100 pounds.
It all started last year on her birthday, when she went on a whale watching trip.
That's when she noticed the others on the boat idolizing the Coast Guard. She then started toying with the idea of joining the Navy.
She still had one big problem to face.
"My physical activity consisted of me walking to the store to get candy," Douglass said. So she decided to get serious.
She started working out with a Beaverton sergeant. Every day, she worked out two or three times and ate the right foods.
After spending so much time with soldiers, the 23-year-old decided the Army was for her.
Douglass said, "I fell in love with their world. I fell in love with the bonds that I created with these people. I fell in love for what they stand for."
It wasn't an easy task. She remembers struggling at times, but she pushed through.
"I had days where I remember, I don't want to work out, I just want to sit on the couch and eat pizza. I just can't do this. I had days like that. I had weeks like that," Douglass said.
Now she can't wait a day without working out and is looking forward to the next chapter in her life.
It has taken one year and three months, but she has shed 110 pounds and is set to be sworn in on Dec. 12.
She said, "I want to be in it as long as I can. I want to take the uniform and run, and see how far I can go with it."
As for words of advice, she encourages anyone trying to lose weight to surround yourself with people who will support you no matter what.

An Australian man trying to surprise his girlfriend had to call police after getting stuck in his washing machine -- naked.
The man apparently climbed into the top-loading machine at his home in Melbourne on Saturday, telling police he hoped to surprise his girlfriend when she got home.
But then he couldn't get out.
Police, firefighters, paramedics and even a local search and rescue squad arrived to get the man out of his predicament, eventually using olive oil to slide him out, AFP reported.
"It was just a game gone wrong," police Sgt. Michelle De Araugo told the Herald Sun. "It would be fair to say the gentleman was very embarrassed."

Armed with transects and tape measures, scientists with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration began mapping out the area of coral reef damage along Anini and Wainiha in the Hanalei area last week.
Back in Honolulu Wednesday, the lead coral ecologist on the team said it is one of the worst outbreaks he has seen in the Hawaiian Islands.
"It is basically killing the coral, relatively fast and it is leaving a trail of dead coral behind it," said NOAA coral ecologist Bernardo Vargas-Angel.
Based on the team's surveys, he hopes to provide hard data on how many of the coral colonies are dead or dying.
"We will also get an idea of the prevalence of the disease and not only that, but within the reef what corals have higher density than others, and what species of corals are being affected by this disease," said Vargas-Angel.
University of Hawaii microbiologists have identified the cyanobacteria after culturing it in the laboratory.
They suspect it is related to a black band coral disease seen in other parts of the world, but not to this extent here in Hawaiian waters.
So far, the scientists have found that the blue green bacteria is affecting three species of montipora rice coral -- including a blue coral that is a candidate on the threatened list under the endangered species act.
"It's about awareness and what can we do collectively to manage this situation," Vargas-Angel said.
The discovery of the outbreak was first verified by a rapid response team from the U.S. Geological Survey and the Institute for Marine Biology.
If left unchecked scientists say the disease could have a huge impact not only on the ecology of the reef but the island's economy as well.

I have had a recent episode of low milk supply leading to my baby not gaining enough weight. The baby's paediatrician who has been very supportive has told me to try and relax and continue the nursing and that we'll check back in a few weeks. We first checked her right about the time I noticed a problem and then two weeks later during which time she had gained only 5 oz. The Ped also discouraged me from starting solids until my baby is 6 months old.
However, both my husband and my mother are questioning this. My husband's gut reaction to any feeding problem is "Let's start the formula". He has a friend who has a daughter about 8 months older than ours, and they started supplementing with formula when their baby was 6 weeks old. My husband thinks everything this friend and his wife are doing is the right thing to do. Meanwhile my Mum is telling me to start solids. That's 'cos her neighbour's baby who is about 3 weeks older than my baby started solids about a month ago.
I feel so inadequate when I hear this. I feel selfish to want to continue to exclusively breastfeed, and under a lot of pressure to produce more milk (which probably isn't helping), and it is only the paediatrician's advice (I told her of the pressure I am getting) that helps me continue. I can tell everyone to shut up because the ped said to keep nursing no matter what. But everytime someone tells me to supplement or start solids, I am taking it so personally. I feel awful and have been trying every trick under the sun to increase my supply - which has worked a bit but only slowly. It's lead to me valuing my breastmilk like blood or something. And I still feel like I am being very selfish - nursing my baby just to show I can.
why do I take this so personally? And why do I get so hurt when people say things like, "Oh let's just start formula/solids/whatever"? How can I explain it to people?

What happened to our economic recovery? Recent days have seen a slew of negative economic news:
• U.S. single-family home prices dropped 0.2 percent in March from February, as measured by the S&P Case-Shiller composite index of 20 metropolitan areas. "The price index was below the low seen in April 2009 during the financial crisis," reported Reuters.
• GDP growth slowed to 1.8 percent in the first quarter of 2011 from 3.2 percent in the last quarter of 2010.
• Just 38,000 private-sector jobs were created in May, down from 177,000 in April, ADP Employer Services reported Wednesday.
• The Dow Jones industrial average plunged 279.65 points, 2.2 percent, on Wednesday, with some analysts blaming the news on the job creation report, as well as a growing uncertainty about overall economic conditions.
"The numbers are looking weird," Esmael Adibi told us. Adibi is director of the A. Gary Anderson Center for Economic Research and Anderson Chair of Economic Analysis at Chapman University. He's preparing for the school's 2011 Economic Forecast Update on June 16.
He said the number to watch now is today's federal government report on payroll jobs. "ADP is a payroll processing company," he said. "The federal number usually is different. But clearly, it won't be strong on Friday."
He said that most economic data now indicate a slowdown in the economy. Causes include the increase in gasoline prices, which means "people are spending less" on other things; and the continued global economic turbulence from the Japanese earthquake-tsunami-nuclear disaster.
"The concern is whether this slowdown will continue," Adibi said.
For us, this is a wakeup call that the economy still is far from being on track to a sustained recovery, and even could slip back into recession. That $14 trillion federal debt weighs on the economy, as does the $1.6 trillion estimated deficit for the 2010-11 fiscal year, which ends Oct. 1.
Voices on the left are advocating programs such as Works Progress Administration-style hiring by the government for the long-term unemployed and even another round of Quantitative Easing, or stimulus, by the Fed, a program scheduled to end June 30.
These are not fiscally prudent ideas.
A better path would be to get back to the financial fundamentals of a government that lives within its means and doesn't take on more than it is chartered to do. Congress should pursue spending reductions along the lines of Tennessee Sen. Rand Paul's proposal to cut $500 billion in spending now, with the remainder of the $1.6 trillion current annual deficit eliminated entirely in five years. The Patient Protection and Affordable Healthcare Act, or Obamacare, should get a 100 percent waiver, and the Bush tax cuts, set to expire in 2013, should be made permanent.

Anyone out there drink alcohol when breastfeeding? And how long before I can bf again?
Anyone out there drink alcohol when breastfeeding? And how long before I can bf again?
I'll occasionally have a glass of wine or a beer then nurse an hour or two later. I don't know the answer though ... hmm, I guess I should find out also!

wow i was going to look this up too... going out tmrw night, but i'm not a big drinker as it is, so i didn't know if i would have to pump & dump if i had a drink or two... no more than that
Tina - mom of Addison Belle

and my VBAC ~ Olivia Grace

I'll have a glass of wine with dinner or a beer every now and again (my dad is ramping up to possibly open a microbrewery, so I get to be one of the "test subjects" lol) ... I've heard if you drink right after nursing so there are a couple hours following it it's okay. I went out a couple weekends ago and DH used ebm for me since I had a few more than one
If you're just gonna have a glass or two, Dr. Newman says you don't need to worry at all!
"Reasonable alcohol intake should not be discouraged at all. As is the case with most drugs, very little alcohol comes out in the milk. The mother can take some alcohol and continue breastfeeding as she normally does. Prohibiting alcohol is another way we make life unnecessarily restrictive for nursing mothers." http://www.drjacknewman.com/index.ph...d=52&Itemid=79

If you can drive a car than you can nurse. For most people that's no more than 2 drinks. I have a beer every now and then and have nursed right afterwards and haven't worried about it.
If you get wasted that's a different story. I haven't done that before so I'm not exactly sure what the protocol is on that one.

If it is not in your blood, then it is not in your milk, so a couple of hours after you drink (if not too much) then you are fine! One night I drank a couple more than two and my DH gave a bottle of previously EBM I waited until the morning to feed! no problems!

Here is our FAQ on alcohol and breastfeeding:
What about drinking alcohol and breastfeeding?
There's a website that contains a chart on the time it takes to clear alcohol from breastmilk based on mother's weight and amount consumed. There's probably an easier way to find it, but this is how I found it:
go to www.motherisk.org
from right side of screen, choose link "Alcohol, Nicotine, Substance Use"
then from list at top choose "Other Motherisk Publications"
From list of articles, choose "Drinking Alcohol while breastfeeding: will it harm my baby?"
Then, within the text of the article, click on the "Table 1" link.
Some Moms may find this a practical guide.
I read somewhere that one drink, even maybe two was okay. The way they explained it was if you feel the affects of the alcohol, so will the baby.

A farm in Colorado immortalized Peyton Manning by carving out a corn maze in the Broncos quarterback's likeness.
The Manning tribute is courtesy of Fritzler Corn Maze, a farm in LaSalle, Colo., that offers 15 acres of ground and two miles of pathways "guaranteed to get you and your family or friends lost,"
Year after year, Fritzler Farms comes up with different themes for its corn maze -- in 2009 the farm had a "Wizard of Oz" tribute and in 2005 they constructed a corn maze in the likeness of Ray Charles and Elvis Presley.
This year the farm chose to carve its hallowed ground into the likeness of Manning to welcome the new star of its hometown team.
Manning, who comes to the Broncos after a series of injuries, lived up to the welcome in leading the Broncos to a 31-19 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in their opening game last week. The Pro-Bowler completed 73.1 percent of his passes for 253 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions.
The maze will open tomorrow and stay open through Halloween.
The Manning maze has already received more than 3,000 likes on the farm's Facebook page.

Hi ladies,
I recently bought a book on breastfeeding (I think the title is The 7 natural laws of breastfeeding, or something like that), that explains that with some feedings your baby might only want one breast, and at others, the baby may drain the first, and at that point, you should offer the second one to see if baby wants any more. My question is, how will you know once the baby has drained the first? With my first ds, I breastfed for about a month before moving onto pumping (we had issues that I wasn't quite sure how to deal with, but this time I am bound and determined to exclusively bf!), and I was never able to tell when he was done the breast. He fell asleep all the time, and when I would try to take him off, he would begin suckling again, but it I don't recall if it was ever because he was still hungry, or if he was using me as a pacifier.
Does anyone know how I can tell when to switch breasts?

Just 25 miles north of the historic mining town of Durango, Colorado.
Arapahoe Basin
A small area with a big-mountain feel, set on the jagged western slope of the Continental Divide, half above tree line, and high enough to hold snow into June.
Loveland is many things to many people: a local's hill, a high-alpine playground, a place to kick off the season—and close it out well into late spring. Located a brisk 53 miles from Denver—about an hour, when the traffic gods are on your side—this mid-size Front Range ski mountain has much to recommend it, from mellow bowl skiing suited to skiers of all stripes to black-diamond bumps off Chair #1 that boast a thigh-straining vertical drop of 1,000 feet.
Often the first resort to open in North America—a battle it wages every October with neighboring Arapahoe Basin, 20 minutes away—Loveland's altitude also helps cover it 's 1,500-plus acres with a reliable 400 annual inches of fresh. But it's the attitude that makes this place a favorite. Laid-back, no liftlines, ticket prices that hark back to the early '80s and an old-timey cafeteria where lunch won't drain your 401k. And when it's all said and done, après-ski with a two-buck PBR at The Rathskellar will bring you back to your skiing roots. And that's not a bad thing.

Police in the Town of Beloit report a 6-day-old baby missing from a home was found in Iowa Friday.
Town of Beloit Police Chief Steve Kopp said the police chief of West Branch, Iowa, located 6-day-old Kayden Powell in a tote bag outside a gas station near Interstate 80.
VIDEO: Police chief announces infant found alive
Despite cold temperatures, Kopp said the infant was wrapped up and appeared to be in good condition. Health officials said the newborn is "in excellent health."
"We have been waiting for this day," Kopp said. "In the words of EMS officials, he is in excellent health."
Kayden's mother, 18-year-old Brianna Marshall woke up about 4:30 a.m. Thursday to find her baby, Kayden Powell, missing from his bassinet and called police.
VIDEO: 40 agencies join search for infant
Town of Beloit police said the mother's half-sister, Kristen Smith, was taken into custody in Iowa on Thursday on an unrelated warrant. She had been at the family home in Beloit and said she was on her way back to her home in Colorado when Kayden disappeared.
Police said they called Smith on her cellphone, and she agreed to pull over in Iowa. Police said she had baby clothing in her car, but there was no sign of the newborn.
Authorities are currently holding Smith on an unrelated warrant but now call her a person of interest in this case.
Kopp said Kayden was found "in the general area" where Smith pulled over to await police on Thursday.

Perfect Picnic Meal
From p. 51 of the July/August 2007 Issue
of Simple & Delicious
Here are some ideas that are perfect when you're hitting the road or driving for a quiet picnic at your favorite park. These recipes can help prevent you from spending too much time in the kitchen to get ready.
It's nice to make just one sandwich that generously feeds six people. Jumbo Greek Sub from the Taste of Home Test Kitchen is easy to transport to a tailgate party or potluck.
Heather Sandberg of Waukesha, Wisconsin tucks a chocolate-covered peppermint patty into every one of these rich Chocolate Mint Delights. The drizzle on top adds a nice touch. "I revised a brownie recipe to create these take-along treats," says Heather.
If you're taking this marinated veggie salad to a picnic, our Test Kitchen recommends simply placing it in a covered plastic container. Then pop Dressed-Up Vegetable Salad into your cooler for easy transporting.
"I first made this alternative to a submarine sandwich for a party," says Susanne Ebersol from Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania. "Savory Sandwich Ring looks appetizing and tastes great! Now it's a mainstay on my menu plan for gatherings or when my family is tired of ordinary meat-and-cheese sandwiches."
Created by our Test Kitchen, these fun sandwiches are sure to be greeted with smiles. Serve Chocolate Fluffernutter Sandwiches with sliced bananas and a glass of milk for a snack or even lunch.

Oh Dear!1 of 11
By Brienne Walsh
My how the times have changed—at least (gulp), we hope so. Read on for some of the most ridiculous advice given to women and young girls during the '50s and '60s.
Rules of Engagement2 of 11
"It is up to you to earn the proposal—by waging a dignified, common-sense campaign designed to help him see for himself that matrimony rather than bachelorhood is the keystone of a full and happy life." —from "How to Make Him Propose" in Coronet Magazine, 1951, by Ellis Michael
Best Behavior3 of 11
"Social conventions can do very little to protect a girl really bent on getting into difficulties. In this case, a girl not out of her teens would do better to avoid [dinner at a bachelor's] unless others, considerably more mature than she, are present. A career girl, from her twenties onward, can accept such an invitation but should not stay beyond ten or ten-thirty. An old rule and a good one is 'Avoid the appearance of evil.'"—from The Amy Vanderbilt Complete Book of Etiquette, 1952, by Amy Vanderbilt
A Wife's Work4 of 11
"If you have a job or career of your own, would you be willing to give it up if it would advance your husband's interests? If not, you are more interested in promoting yourself than promoting your husband. Helping a man attain success is a full-time career in itself. You can't hope to do it unless it is important enough to claim all your attention." —from How To Help Your Husband Get Ahead, 1954, by Mrs. Dale Carnegie
No Whining5 of 11
"Complaining, whining, comparing, sneering, harping – the nagger may specialize in one or be a general practitioner of all these forms of mental cruelty. . . . Nagging is a devastating emotional disease. If you are in doubt about having it, ask your husband. If he should tell you that you are a nag, don't react by violent denial – that only proves he is right." —from How To Help Your Husband Get Ahead
How To Be Chic6 of 11
"In order to increase your chances of acquiring chic when it is lacking, the first requirement is to be aware of the fact that you do not possess it. … Know at least your general type: sporty and casual, or doll-like and exquisite. Study all the fashion magazines. Try to find in real life a woman who is a good example of the same type as you and whose chic is widely recognized; carefully analyze her manner of dress and behavior in order to retain what can be copied." —from A Guide to Elegance, 1964, by Genevieve Antoine Dariaux
Dumb It Down7 of 11
"To make him feel important, you have to forget your own desires for importance. Compliment him on his physical prowess, his mental acumen, his good looks, his virility. The worst mistake a girl can make is to make a man feel intellectually inferior or inadequate as a male. We men need a lot of reassurance. So lay it on thick but subtly. Stroke his ego. Let him think he's king much of the time. He will love you for it, and, you know, it will make you feel extremely feminine." —from She-Manners: The Teen Girl's Book of Etiquette, 1959, by Robert H. Loeb Jr.
Double Standard8 of 11
"The man has one set of standards for himself and another for you. He may consider himself a Don Juan for having succeeded in getting you to pet, but he will also decide that you're too easy to get." —from She-Manners
Talk the Talk9 of 11
"If you are a gal who uses frank, men's locker room language—DON'T on this first date. DON'T—EVER! Avoid shocking your date. Even if he uses such language and hears all the guys and dolls in the senior class using it, he wants his date to be better than the rest of the crowd." —from She-Manners
It's a Date!10 of 11
"If he's made plans for the evening, don't try to change them, no matter how much you hanker to see the double feature at the Palace or to show off your beau to the gang at the Pizzateria. Boys resent bitterly, and they have every right to, the idea that they're being manipulated or pushed around on a date." —from McCall's Guide to Teen-Age Beauty and Glamour, 1959, by Betsy Keiffer
Like Mother, Like Daughter11 of 11
"A young woman should begin in her teens learning the things that keep a home running smoothly. She can watch how her mother cooks and bakes. There are also many opportunities for a daughter to observe how Mother handles Dad when he's had a tough day at work." —from Your Happiest Years, 1959, by Dick Clarke
