Neighbors Rise to the Challenge As Flood Waters Loom
Blog Categories:
United We Serve
After enduring severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, and widespread devastation, the Southern and Midwestern U.S. is preparing for yet another natural disaster – the flooding of the Mississippi River.
Water has swept through communities located along the river in five states, sending residents scrambling for safety. But as images of submerged homes, flooded farms, and stranded cars make their way into homes across America, another picture is coming to light.
Through all this devastation and destruction shines an example of the American spirit. Neighbors are helping neighbors rescue belongings from flooded homes. Organizations have set up temporary shelters. Volunteers have traveled long-distances to join sandbagging efforts.
This is America's way.
We have always met our greatest challenges through the dedication and commitment of people who have given generously of themselves, asking nothing in return. Together, we are able to solve problems and make things better. In times of need, much like the situations we currently face, national service and volunteerism are an invaluable resource.
Currently, national service members – from the RSVP volunteer to the NCCC team – are deployed across the country assisting with response and recovery efforts after the most recent batch of storms and tornadoes. And we anticipate a response just as strong to the flooding, as well.
What You Can Do
If you or someone you know lives in an area that may be affected, follow the directions of local officials (including evacuation orders), as record flood levels are anticipated as the crest continues to move down river.
The National Weather Service remains the source for official weather information, and has issued flood warnings across several states, from Cairo, IL to Baton Rouge, LA, including Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana as rivers are expected to crest over the next few weeks.
You can track your local forecast at www.weather.gov or on your phone at http://mobile.weather.gov mobile.weather.gov.
Become familiar with the terms that are used to identify a flooding hazard and discuss with your family what to do if a flood watch or warning is issued:
- Flood Watch: Flooding is possible. Tune in to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio, or television for information
- Flash Flood Watch: Flash flooding is possible. Be prepared to move to higher ground; listen to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio, or television for information.
- Flood Warning: Flooding is occurring or will occur soon; if advised to evacuate, do so immediately.
- Flash Flood Warning: A flash flood is occurring; seek higher ground on foot immediately.

Dolphins In Crimea Join Russian Navy
By editor • Mar 27, 2014
Originally published on March 31, 2014 11:18 am
Good morning. I'm Linda Wertheimer. Russia took over many Ukrainian military assets when it annexed Crimea, including dolphins at the oceanarium in Sebastopol. Trained to locate enemy divers and carry spy equipment, Ukraine planned to shut down the combat dolphin program in April - too expensive. Now these dolphins will raise their fins to the Kremlin, which apparently does have the rubles to upgrade their gear. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

The book includes information on corn, beans, squash, amaranth, devil's claw, and several other staple southwestern food crops. Native Harvest is the culmination of a unique partnership between two pioneering nonprofit organizations based in Tucson, Arizona. Western National Parks Association teamed with seed experts Native Seed/SEARCH (more information here) to produce a fun and informed publication. ^~Author: Kevin Dahl ^~Photographer: Amy Haskell ^~Publisher: Western National Parks Association ^~ISBN: 9781583690604 ^~Soft cover: 64 pages, 6" x 9".

insinuated that those of us who don't differentiate between those vowels are pronouncing things improperly As to this, I'm just a stick(ler) in the mud. But as to lout/loud. Loud ends up so much longer than lout. , well, y'all people are just weird! Eep--I just tried it, and be danged if loud isn't just a little bit longer! Oops!
Aside: isn't it neat, that your thread that seemed to start out as being relevant to just a few, has transmogrified and grown the way it has?

From the most recent two issues of Michael Quinion's newsletter:
15 Feb:
Subscribers who are native speakers of North American English are
likely to find the Dialect Survey of interest. This was created by
Professor Bert Vaux at Harvard University. You can take a test and
view the collected results, which include maps. See where people
say the vowel in "cot" and "caught" the same way, where they use
double models as in "I might could do that", where they consider
"anymore" to be a standard form meaning "nowadays", or any of 120
other variations. See: http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~golder/dialect/
22 February:
A number of Canadian subscribers attempted to register
at the dialect site I listed last week, which describes itself on
its home page as "designed for speakers of North American English",
but found to their surprise and disgruntlement on trying to take
the test that they were not considered to be North American. Not
being in that category, I didn't try the test, so didn't discover
the error. I did assume, though, that a linguistic site would know
what it meant when it wrote "North American English"!

That's really bush league (no pun intended). The one and only serious, scholarly and comprehensive dialect survey was started by the late Frederic Cassidy and is being continued by the qualified folks at the University of Wisconsin. Aside from the absurdities cited above, from what I've seen of this, the questions are leading and presuppose the respondents can actually *hear themselves; also there don't seem to be any qualifications (long-term residency, at least) established for the informants. And what's a 'double model?'
Thanks for bringing it to our attention, Bingley!

There's a group at McGill University doing a survey on English word usage in Canada. All you have to do is email them at email@example.com
At the bottom of the form I received it notes the survey may be returned to : Prof Charles Berg, Dept of Linguistics, McGill University, 1085 Dr. Penfield, Montreal, QC, H3A 1A7 Canada -- Tel (514) 398-4896 -- FAX : (514) 398-7088 -- E-Mail : firstname.lastname@example.com
I took it, so did a couple of my neighbors, my son and the young gal who comes in to help around the house. Some interesting differences and similarities! Age range from early 20s to me in 70s!

Sorry, I'm 17 days late, I didn't think there was so much fun going on up 'ere in I+A.
I pronounce hock and hawk differently. I can't say I recall ever hearing them blur together, 'cept maybe in Boston... which would explain why the 'stereotypical' south side Chicago accent may also blur thier distinction.
Hock - Exchange goods for money at a "pawn shop".
Hocker - Is organic and it comes from your throat after you say the word "hocker" a few times...
Hawk - Is the guy who does the White 'Sox' (pronounced like 'hocks') color commentary.

We've said it before: It's good to see Rossi, as iconic a ski brand as any, on its game. In last year's test at Snowbird, it was the only brand to go 11-for-11, winning medals in every category it entered. Now next year's stuff looks even more formidable.
Rossi treated us to some runs on the new 7 series this week at Copper Mountain. Even on firm groomers (off-piste conditions were too thin for precious sample skis), the personality of the skis shined through brightly.
The key models in the series (meaning most commercial) are the Soul 7 for men and the Savory for women—both 106 mm in the waist—but in all there are seven models (naturally), ranging in width from 98 to 120 mm for men and from 98 to 116 mm for women.

I have a 6 month old baby, and returned to work about a month ago. My supply was fine until the last week and all of sudden, one breast is only producing .5-1oz every 3 hours that I pump at work. The other is producing normal amounts of 3-4 oz per 3 hours (3x per workday). Any suggestions on bringing the other breast back up to speed?
I breastfeed when I am at home at night, the morning and on the weekends. I am not under much (or increased stress) that would cause me to think it was the reason for the decrease. Any help would be appreciated as I don't want to unnecessarily have to supplement with formula.

Port Charlotte, FL Volunteer Reception Center (VRC) Tour
Blog Categories:
Safety and Security
I am an AmeriCorps VISTA member working in Port Charlotte, FL at Facilitator for Good Friends, a free reading and literacy program for second and third graders.
On August 27, 2009, I took part in United We Serve Safety and Security Week by touring our new Volunteer Reception Center, housed in the new Salvation Army Family Services Building. This facility provides a place where large numbers of volunteers can be efficiently processed and referred to agencies needing their services during a community disaster, such as a hurricane.
I am also a volunteer member of a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), trained in disaster preparedness and supporting emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in our community. This tour, hosted by United Way, was a great way for me to participate in Safety and Security Week, as both a VISTA member and a CERT volunteer, getting ready for an active hurricane season.
As someone who lives in Florida, I know that these trainings are important. When the time comes, I will be ready and our state will be made better for it.

Bonacic joins call for Common Core delay
February 12, 2014 —
ALBANY, NY — Sen. John Bonacic has joined the growing chorus of voices calling for a delay in the implementation of Common Core Learning Standards (CCLS), which have been adopted by New York and 44 other states. The goal of CCLS is to bring standards up among students and teachers, and to ensure that all students are as prepared as possible for college or the workforce. But parents and educators across the state are complaining that the implementation has been rushed, teachers have been inadequately prepared, and the CCLS has lead to an unsustainable amount of testing.
In a statement released on February 4, Bonacic said, "Parents, teachers, administrators and educational professionals in my district, and throughout New York State, have raised grave concerns over the flawed roll-out of the Common Core Learning Standards.
"Unless the Board of Regents acts to alleviate these concerns, they must delay the use of Common Core tests for high-stakes decisions about teachers, principals and students for a minimum of two years. During this time, the state education department should continue to develop curricula aligned with higher standards and assist local school districts in developing their own curricula, so teachers can successfully implement higher learning standards and help students reach their maximum potential."
There is mounting evidence that the CCLS has become one of the greatest concerns regarding education in the Empire State. In a survey published by the New York State Parent Teacher Association (PTA), members were asked what is the greatest challenge to the quality of their children's education, and 46% of them answered that challenge was testing and preparing for those tests, while 20% answered CCLS itself was the greatest challenge.
Further, 44% opposed CCLS because of the amount of student testing involved, while another 22% opposed it for other reasons. Thirty-four percent supported CCLS. While the PTA said it has some concerns about the implementation of CCLS, it still supports the program.
The state's largest teaching union, New York State Union of Teachers (NYSUT), has withdrawn support for the program. On February 6, the board of NYSUT voted to endorse a three-year moratorium on the part of the program that tests and rates student and teacher performance.
The board also unanimously passed a "resolution declaring 'no confidence' in the policies of State Education Commissioner John King Jr. and calling for his removal by the Board of Regents," which was directly related to the "failed implementation of CCLS" and the failure to address the problems.

Still, something sounded very familiar to Mike Thompson as the master of ceremonies read the nomination letter for the state's Constable of the Year. It sounded so familiar that he had to nudge his wife, Linda, to confirm what he was hearing.
"The speaker system wasn't real great," Thompson said. "We didn't hear what the guy said when he started off. But then I started recognizing lines from the letter he was reading. I reach over and tapped my wife on the shoulder and asked her, 'Are they talking about me?' She had her head down looking at her phone and she was nodding her head, 'yes.' "
Thompson, who was chosen from approximately 1,200 constables and deputy constables throughout the state, was nominated by Precinct 2 Justice of the Peace Steve Kennedy.
"He has represented the office of constable in an exemplary manner due to his outstanding performance in all areas of a constable's normal law enforcement and civil duties," Kennedy wrote in the nomination. "Due to his duty performance and law enforcement experience, his expertise reflects well on his office. Specifically, other agencies such as the Goliad County District Attorney Goliad County Attorney and Goliad County Sheriffs Department have called upon his expertise to conduct investigations of cold cases and high-profile incidents."
Kennedy cited the seven-year-old case of a house fire death that resulted in the death being ruled as a murder as one of Thompson's top achievements.
"I got to read what he sent in before he sent it," Thompson said of the nomination form. "It's quite an honor."

CNJ staff photo: Liliana Castillo Richard Garcia takes a swing at the third whole of Clovis Municipal Golf Course while his friends watch. The group varies in size from 2 to 14 players.
By Liliana Castillo and Mickey Winfield: Freedom New Mexico
For some golfers, the game cannot go on unless they have their lucky putter or a special divot tool.
For a group of regulars at Clovis Municipal Golf Course, it's mostly
about the company they keep. The fivesome graced the golf course Friday
afternoon, because Friday counts as part of the weekend they say.
Richard Garcia, a Clovis resident and 10-year golfer, said he gets
out to the course at least every other weekend during the summer. He
said his lucky charm was his friend, Angel Martinez, a city golf
"But it's not about the score," Garcia said. "But how you enjoy the game."
Another in group, Greg Trujillo, said his 2-iron is his lucky charm, but he doesn't know why.
"It just works for me," Trujillo said.
Trujillo also emphasized to never mark a ball with a nickel.
"It's bad luck," he said. "No nickels."
Tim Tapia makes sure he carries a divot tool — for repairing spike
and ball marks on the greens — with him that was given to him by a
friend and fellow golfer.
Tapia said he is at the golf course every day, if possible.
"It relaxes my mind," said Tapia, "takes away the pressure from the hustle and bustle."
For the past two years, Portales resident Oscar Robinson brings a dollar coin to mark his ball on the green.
"I don't know (if it works for me)," Robinson said. "I like to think it does, but it's all in the mind."
"We have a friend — I shouldn't mention his name, but he won't hit
the ball if you are moving or walking. He'll just stop and look at
you," Robinson said. "He left us, but he's very superstitious."
Mike Stratton has been playing golf for 23 years in Portales.
"I bring my golf balls," Stratton said with a grin. "That's very important."
But Stratton said he's not superstitious on the golf course. "Not at all," he said.
Don McDaniel is the golf pro at the Portales Country Club, and in
his 10 years in Portales, he's only seen one strange trend among
"A lot of golfers who mark their balls with pennies, make sure that
they put the penny heads up when they put it down on the green."
Another pair of golfers and friends, Jim Cowman and Bob Hughes, have
been playing golf together for about three years, but don't claim any
superstitious behavior.
Cowman's goal when he retired was to walk nine holes every day, and he said he's kept up with it.
Hughes insists on wearing sunglasses when he golfs. No matter how
cloudy it is outside, Hughes will have his sunglasses on while on the
"I guess it's just to keep the wind out of my eyes," Hughes said. "It doesn't feel natural without them on."

last night I took out two 4 oz freezer bags and defrosted them, can I re-freeze them again???
I think the general rule for anything you defrost is to never re-freeze. I wouldn't take the chance.
I think that's a pretty definite no. Also, they recommend using any defrosted breastmilk within 24 hours!
The general rule is to use or discard frozen breastmilk w/in 24 hours.
I don't have the exact quote, but I do know that in Breastfeeding and Human Lactation there is a blurb about milk being okay to refreeze if it is still slushy (i.e. still has ice crystals).
That being said, there is NEW research that shows that ebm may be more flexible than we ever thought! You can read the full text of the article ,Effect of Environmental Conditions on Unpasteurized Donor Human Milk, found here:

Intel Corp. has begun to manufacture code-named Oak Trail chip sets for ultra-thin netbooks and tablets, according to a market rumour, which is most likely to be correct since the world's largest maker of chips intends to start revenue shipments of its new platform early in 2011.
Intel Oak Trail platform utilizes Lincroft system-on-chip, which integrates Atom processor with up to 1.90GHz clock-speed, Intel GMA 600 graphics core (OpenGL ES 2.0, OpenGL 2.1, OpenVG 1.1, 400MHz), 32-bit LPDDR1/DDR2 memory controller and video encode/decode logic onto a single chip, and pairs it with platform controller hub (PCB) code-named Whitney Poin that enables support of Microsoft Windows operating system.
The first Oak Trail set of chips to be released by Intel will be Atom Z670 "Lincroft" SoC and SM35 PCH, reports DigiTimes web-site.
Intel hopes that Oak Trail will not only power ultra-thin netbooks, but will also enable tablets, which are getting popular nowadays. Given that ARM-based SoCs consume less power than almost any x86-based offering, Intel plans to sell its Oak Trail set of chips for $25 with MeeGo operating system, something that should make the bundles more competitive. Naturally, the vast majority of consumers will prefer Windows 7 operating system on an Intel-powered slate and manufacturers do understand that. Therefore, it is unlikely that actual Atom-based tablets, which will use Windows 7 in the majority of cases, will be considerably less expensive than Android-based or iOS-based devices.
Intel did not comment on the news-story.

Farewell to the Metrodome…
The play of the game was courtesy of Derek Jeter…
Kathy Willens/AP
The Yankees emerged victorious, winning the ALDS against the Minnesota Twins, three games to none. Thanks to a 4-1 victory tonight, the Yankees will head home for a Friday meeting against the Los Angeles Angels and old friends Bobby Abreu and Juan Rivera.

I really didn't want to see Carl Pavano pitch the game of his life against his former teammates. He had the strikeouts (9), but in the end, he was done in by 7th inning home runs from Alex Rodriguez and Jorge Posada.
Kathy Willens/AP
The Yankees added a couple of insurance runs in the 9th inning, but in my mind, the play of the game was courtesy of Derek Jeter with an assist by Jorge Posada. In the 8th, Nick Punto led off with a double. The next batter, Denard Span, hit the ball to Derek Jeter after a hop. Seeing that he had no play at first, Derek fired the ball to Jorge Posada when he saw that Punto was running past third despite the stop sign. Posada quickly made a perfect throw to third baseman Alex Rodriguez to erase Punto who was diving back to third. So, instead of runners on the corners with no outs, the Twins only had a runner at first with one out. The Yankees escaped the inning without allowing any runs, and the Twins' last threat of the 2009 season was eliminated.
Martin Levison/Star Tribune
Mariano Rivera recorded the final four outs to save the game, and propel the Yankees into the American League Championship Series against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
Jim Mone/AP
The game represented the final baseball game held at the Metrodome. The Twins will move to their new ballpark, Target Field, next season. The Vikings are now the sole tenant of the Metrodome (at least until they find a new stadium).
Charlie Niebergall/AP
Alex Rodriguez has eliminated any doubt that he is not a post-season performer, and Jorge Posada has proved once again that he is a man to be counted on when it counts. It was a great victory for the Yanks, and a nice sweep to give them a few days off before they face their nemesis in the Bronx.
It's hard to believe that 3 of 4 play-off series were decided by sweeps. I am surprised that the powerful Philadelphia Phillies are the only team that is engaged in a difficult battle. They are clearly more talented than the Colorado Rockies, but they are tied in the NLDS with the Rockies, but leading 4-3 in the early stages of the very cold game tonight..
David Zalubowski/AP
Congratulations to Joe Torre and the Los Angeles Dodgers for advancing to the National League Championship Series. I have to admit that it was a little bittersweet watching Donnie Baseball wrapping his arms around Dodgers players in celebration of their series sweep over the St. Louis Cardinals.
Tom Gannam/AP
It was tough to watch the Boston Red Sox exit the 2009 play-offs. I was really hoping for a final Yankees-Red Sox showdown. I thought the Red Sox were going to win today's game, and didn't really think that the Angels would rally against closer Jonathan Papelbon. Had the Sox won today, they would have re-captured some momentum in the series, and they'd have a good chance to even things up in Game 4. Alas, it was not meant to be as Bobby Abreu and Vladimir Guerrero came up with key hits in the 9th to score a total of 3 runs to overtake Boston, 7-6. Still, I thought the Red Sox had a chance in the bottom of the 9th but they just couldn't get it going.
Elise Amendola/AP
I have enjoyed my season-long wagers with Julia of Julia's Rants. Early in the season, it was all-Red Sox. Julia was living a charmed life. Then, the Yankees picked up a win on August 6th and they haven't looked back. It has been a fun and exciting year for the Yankees and Red Sox. "The Rivalry" is great for baseball, and I think I learned to better understand Red Sox fans with my battles against Julia. They are passionate, and they care about their team. They are supportive through the end, and they walk away with their heads held high. They know, not just hope, that they will be back next year…stronger and hungrier than ever before. Congratulations Julia to you and your team on a fine season! Of course, that doesn't mean I won't be anxious to see photos of you wearing your pink Yankees cap and Lou Gehrig t-shirt holding a sign proclaiming that the Yankees ARE BETTER! Life is good!
As for my favorite football team, the Minnesota Vikings were victorious against the St. Louis Rams, 38-10. I was a bit worried that the Vikings would have a letdown after the emotions of facing the Green Bay Packers last week, but then again, they were only facing the Rams. That team has certainly fallen on hard times.
Jeff Roberson/AP
Percy Harvin is quickly becoming my favorite player. He caught four passes for 66 yards, but no TD's. Another personal favorite is DE Jared Allen. A week after his repeated "hugs" of Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, Allen recovered two fumbles and returned one 52 yards for a touchdown. I gotta admit that I enjoyed Allen's quote after the game. "We think we're a good football team", Allen said. "The worst we can finish now is 5-11". I like his perspective as he isn't taking anything for granted.
Michael Conroy/AP
Brett Favre is 1-0 as a 40-year-old QB. I have to admit that I was surprised when I heard that this was Favre's first 5-0 start. Congrats to Brett and the Vikings on a great game!

Another example of why Derek Jeter is so fabulous. He is aware. Aware of EVERY POSSIBILITY…… he's awesome. Yankees now go into a series which I don't think they've ever won.. in the Post Season.. Have they?
Congrats Scott – your guys did it this season and mine did not. Oh well – unlike many of my fellow Red Sox bloggers, I'm old enough that I have lived many disappointing seasons. The Red Sox are not a team to rest nor will they stew on their demise for too long. I suspect Theo is already trying to work his magic and the Red Sox will be back stronger then ever. In the mean time – I hear that the Boston Bruins are going to be playing some lowly hockey team in January in San Jose. Do you know anything about that?;-)
Seriously – Yankee fans like you have waited a long time for the Yankees to return. Enjoy the ride Scott!
Congrats on your 200th blog post, Scott. That's like getting your 200th hit as a Yankee. LOL! Very happy about advancing and looking forward to taking on the Angels in the Bronx. But before we leave the Metrodome, can you explain why they started digging up home plate immediately after the game was over? The body wasn't even cold!
Congratulations to your Yankkes, to you as a fan and to your 200th blog! Thank you for congratulating Torre and the Dodgers! I am glad he is in our side.
I cant wait till Thursday. My boss has been warned that another vacation day is coming up for me so that I can attend the game.
Hey I missed it earlier – Congrats on #200! You know, for a Yankee blogger you're not so bad….;-)
Hey, Scott. Your guys are looking like they're in pretty good shape, and your Vikings ain't doin' too bad, either. I WILL NOT miss the Metrodome! You and Julia did seem to have a good deal of fun with your wagers, and both of you were great sports, win or lose. I could not do what both of you did–wear the oppostie team's apparel in your own home town. That takes some guts, and I tip my RED SOX hat😉 to both of you for it. We'll be watching to see who wins the WS this time around! Take care, Scott!
Scott – the Yankees are the new Steelers in my book, as much as you root against them,… somehow they always win.

I hate playing the Bucks
substitutions may apply
The New York Knicks and Milwaukee Bucks are struggling and under .500, but Friday night's matchup at the Bradley Center will still have some bearing on the playoff race in the Eastern Conference.
Milwaukee looks to shave a game off New York's lead for the eighth and final postseason spot in the East as it tries to continue its recent dominance in the series.
The Knicks (18-21) have lost three straight and six of nine following a season-high seven-game win streak that coincided with Jeremy Lin seeing more action and moving into the starting lineup.
Despite its struggles, New York is in eighth place in the conference, leading Milwaukee (15-24) and Cleveland by three games.
With the Big East tournament being played at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks embarked on a four-game road trip Sunday and have dropped the first three. They fell 115-111 in overtime to Boston on Sunday, 95-85 to Dallas on Tuesday and 118-105 to San Antonio on Wednesday.
Poor shooting has doomed New York on the trip, with Lin and Carmelo Anthony making 38.6 percent of their field-goal attempts. Anthony bounced back from a 2-for-12 shooting night against the Mavericks to score 27 points while making 12 of 24 shots Wednesday.
Anthony is averaging 21.2 points and shooting a career-low 40.1 percent. His scoring average is his lowest since his second season in the NBA in 2004-05, and New York is 2-5 since he returned from a groin injury that cost him seven games.
The Knicks won six of those seven contests, when Linsanity was at its peak.
"You have to work through. But there's no reason why it can't co-exist," coach Mike D'Antoni said. "There's no reason why everybody shouldn't do well. We just got to find the right balance of everybody getting into their spots."
D'Antoni made a change against the Spurs, inserting rookie guard Iman Shumpert into the starting lineup in place of Landry Fields. Shumpert shot 1 for 5 while Fields scored eight points on 4-of-8 shooting.
New York played without starting center Tyson Chandler, who missed his first game of the season due to a strained hamstring. His status for Friday is uncertain.
The Knicks could certainly use him to help slow down Milwaukee's Drew Gooden, who's averaging 20.5 points and 8.2 rebounds in six games since missing four with a wrist injury.
He had a season-high 27 points Wednesday night and Ersan Ilyasova scored a career-best 32, but it wasn't enough as the Bucks lost 106-104 at home to Chicago on Derrick Rose's jumper at the buzzer.
"It hurts a lot that we lost this one, just the fact that we played so hard for 48 minutes," point guard Brandon Jennings said. "Guys were down there battling."
Milwaukee has dropped 13 of 18 but seems to have a good chance to get on track Friday, as it's won 11 of 13 against New York.
Jennings has played a big part in that success, averaging 20.1 points in going 7-1 against the Knicks since entering the league in 2009-10.
He scored a season-high 36 points to outduel Anthony, who had 35, in a 100-86 win at MSG on Jan. 20.

I hate playing the Bucks
Awesome thread, thanks for the tissues!!
These game threads are coming too quick. It's like I have nothing to look forward to tomorrow!
PLat: blame the lockout.
This is a must win before they face the bulls they need to get the confidence up again. I'm glad that they have been having a good time on the court and playing together but they are becoming very conceited with their standing. right now it looks like they can coast to an 8th seed. But that is not good enough and not the kind of attitude you want from the players on the team going into the home stretch.
@ClydeFacts "When one of his ladys asked clyde why he doesnt text he said if you dont get the message by now a phone aint gonna help." Except for Kate. Wobble Wobble!
Yeah, typing a few words is helluva work...
But, seriously, I wanted to use some fancy fonts, so had to make it a pic. Sorry bro.
Even though the Bucks have a worse record than us this will not be a layup to get the W in Milwaukee. That front line of Ilyasova and Gooden scored 60 pts against the Bulls and Chi just squeaked by with the W.
If TC is not back tonight the Bucks Jennings will do his Tony Parker imitation and the Bucks C and PF will eat STATue alive.

Bat Detective
|Help scientists classify bat calls!
|Listen to short clips of bat recordings and classify bat calls!
Bat Detective is an online citizen science project which allows visitors to the website to take part in wildlife conservation by listening out for bat calls in recordings collected all over the world.
By sorting the sounds in the recordings into insect and bat calls, bat detectives will help biologists learn how to reliably distinguish bat 'tweets' to develop new automatic identification tools.
Bats use lots of different types of sounds, from singing to each other to find a mate, to using the echoes from their tweets to find their way around. Usually bat sounds are inaudible to humans as they are too high for us to hear, but special 'time expansion' ultrasonic detectors convert these sounds to a lower frequency, and visitors to the Bat Detective website can listen to these unique recordings and help distinguish different sounds.
One out of every five species of bats is threatened with extinction and better automatic identification tools are desperately needed to quickly process vast amounts of sound data collected by volunteers from the bat monitoring programme iBats who survey bat populations each year.
Bats are found all over the world from local parks to pristine rainforests and monitoring their population trends provides an important indicator of healthy ecosystems. Developing new tools that allow biologists to interpret population trends from sound will allow bats' tweets to act as a way to track environmental change.
Bat Detective was developed at University College London, Bat Conservation Trust, Bat Life Europe with the Citizen Science Alliance.

Enter the Sandman…
Exit light, enter night, take my hand, off to never never land…
Jim McIsaac/Getty Images
When the words of the famed Metallica song, "Enter Sandman", reverberate throughout Yankee Stadium, it means only one thing. It's the entrance of Mariano Rivera for yet another save opportunity. On Sunday night, against the New York Mets, Mo reached a milestone with his 500th career save. He became only the second man to reach 500 saves, behind leader Trevor Hoffman.
William Perlman/The Star Ledger
Mo also picked up his first career RBI on a bases-loaded walk from Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez, bringing home Melky Cabrera for an insurance run in the Yankees' 4-2 win over the Mets. The Yankees swept the weekend series against the Mets, and won the season series, taking 5 of 6 games.
Jason Szenes/The New York Times
At the end of the game, there were no fist pumps, no wild displays of emotion. Mo, in his usual business-like approach, calmly watched Robinson Cano fire Alex Cora's ground out to Mark Teixeira to end the game. Tex handed Mo the game ball and gave him a big hug. The rest of the team came and did the same. It was a very touching scene, and I have to admit that I got chills watching the moment. I have said it will be a very difficult day when Mo decides to hang up his glove, but I am very appreciative for moments like this as we move toward the sunset of an absolutely fantastic career.
Kathy Willens/AP
As usual, Mo is quicker to credit his teammates than he is to take praise alone.
"But don't get me wrong, this is definitely special, being the second guy who does that in the history of baseball; it's kind of special, but I'm a team player. My team fought hard today to give me that opportunity to be there. I tried to do my job. Really, all the 500 saves belong to my teammates."
"I'm proud of what I have done with the team. I'm proud of my teammates. I'm proud of everything we have accomplished. Every time I have the chance to wear this uniform, I'm proud."
Mo, we're even prouder of you…
Jim McIsaac/Getty Images
Congrats on #500…and #1!
The game started with a double by Derek Jeter. Nick Swisher followed with a fielder's choice to first, but first baseman David Murphy opted to throw to third to stop an advancing Jeter. But a double pump caused too much of a delay so Murphy's throw third arrived late, and it allowed Swisher to reach first uncontested. Mark Teixeira promptly hit a double to score both Jeter and Swisher. Tex advanced to third on a fielder's choice hit by Robinson Cano, and scored on a sac fly by Jorge Posada. Quickly, the Yankees had raced to a 3-0 lead and those were all the runs they would need.
New York Post
Chien-Ming Wang was unable to match the pitching performances of CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett in the first two games of the series, but it was still enough to pick up his first win of the year, and his first in 379 days. The Mets did mount a mini-rally in the 4th on a run-scoring double by Fernando Martinez and a RBI single by Luis Castillo. But pitcher Livan Hernandez grounded out to end the threat.
For the game, Wang went 5 1/3 innings, giving up four hits and two runs. He walked three batters and struck out three. His ERA remains in double-digits (10.06), but another quality start will bring it down to single digits after the horrendous start to the season.
Keivom/NY Daily News
Phil Hughes continued his successful transition to the bullpen. In his last five outings, he's pitched 7 1/3 scoreless innings. That's a far cry of the early season disasters involving Jose Veras and Damaso Marte. Hughes has played a huge role in re-shaping the bullpen into a quality unit. Granted, it still doesn't match the stellar Red Sox bullpen, but at least it's improving.
I realize that the Subway Series would have had a different look had Carlos Beltran, Jose Reyes, Carlos Delgado et al been healthy. But wins are wins, and I'll take them. My friend Julia seems to enjoy "distance" but we are quietly gaining ground on her beloved Red Sox. Hey Julia, I'll use one you used on me once upon a time…even if the deficit is 3 ½ games heading into Tuesday's action…
Other News…
Xavier Nady definitely facing an uphill battle in his attempt to come back from his right elbow injury. He previously underwent Tommy John surgery in 2001, so another surgery will be the second of its kind. I read that the success rate for a second surgery is only about 20%. Nady will miss the rest of 2009 and most likely all of 2010 (typical recovery time is 12-14 months). However, it is possible that he may never return and that would truly be unfortunate.
Kim Klement/US Presswire
Speaking of injuries, I want to put the rivalry with the Red Sox aside and wish Mike Lowell the very best. He had fluid drained from his ailing right hip and received an injection to relieve inflammation in the joint. It will take a few days to determine if Lowell will be able to play now or if he'll need to be placed on the DL for a return later this summer. I truly hope that the best case scenario works out for Mike, and that he is back on the field sooner rather than later. I want to beat Boston, but I want to beat Boston with their best on the field. Mike is a huge part of why the Red Sox have been so successful, and I hope he has a speedy recovery.
Finally, today was the funeral for Iowa high school football coach Ed Thomas (of Aplington-Parkersburg). A 24-year old former player has been charged with the murder of Thomas, who coached the likes of Aaron Kampman, Brad Meester, Jared DeVries, and Casey Wiegmann during his 37-year coaching career. Thomas was the NFL's High School Coach of the Year in 2005, and won two state titles. I grew up playing Iowa high school football, and it is shocking that something like this could happen in the Hawkeye State. My high school coach, Pearl Smith, never won a state championship (not for the lack of trying, I can assure you), but he was a winner in my eyes. It's been many years since I've seen him, but he had a huge impact on my life and the lessons he taught stick with me to this day. So, I am deeply saddened to see the loss of Ed Thomas and what it means to everyone whose life he touched during his long and very successful coaching career.

3 1/2 games. I like it! Congrats to Mo. Tonight Papelbon tied Bob Stanley for the all time saves record for the Red Sox. And thanks for the well wishes for Mikey – all of RSN wants him back quickly. I was sorry to hear about Nady – I hope this doesn't mean the end of his career.
The funeral in Iowa today? Tragedies like that make no sense. How did the young man charged with the crime – a former player for Mr. Thomas – lose his way so badly that he would do something like this. We have all had teachers/coaches/mentors who have made huge differences in our lives. (I had an English teacher in high school who "forced" me join the literary magazine – she made me believe that I could write.) Just think off all those young men who won't have Ed Thomas to guide them. What a terrible, terrible waste.
Awful story about Ed Thomas. Thanks for putting a personal slant on it. On a happier note, I'm still wearing a smile about Mo even two days later!
So the Yankees have made their first move and picked up Eric Hinske today. A third baseman huh? I guess they are looking for some support in case A-Rod has any trouble like Mike Lowell. And Hinske does have World Series experience!😉

Tens of thousands of NY citizens converged on Albany on February 28 to voice their opposition to the recently passed NY Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act (SAFE Act). Many arrived in the capitol aboard one of the 187 buses which arrived from all across the state. Others chose to drive themselves and carpool together.
I was aboard one of three buses from the Ogdensburg area along with 37 other people on board our bus. There were also buses from Canton and Potsdam that all departed at 6:00 AM on the cold snowy morning of February 28.
The rally was organized and sponsored by the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association. Participants were encouraged to make appointments to speak with their representatives in the morning and then join the rally outside the capitol building at noon to listen to various guest speakers. Among the speakers were the NRA president David Keene, State Senator Patricia Ritchie who was one of the few Republican senators to vote against the bill, and various other local and state politicians and leaders. Attendees of the rally were well behaved, many sporting Gadsden flags with the famous revolutionary war era motto "Don't tread on me." Among the crowd were many NY State Troopers and NY State Sheriff Deputies who stand in opposition to the SAFE Act who believe the law will not make citizens safer. To the contrary, the SAFE Act will actually put law enforcement officers own lives in jeopardy, as they now have to enforce a law that requires them to arrest and/or confiscate certain firearms from citizens who lawfully owned such firearms prior to the SAFE Act who refuse to register certain firearms.
Some of the most controversial portions of the law are:
Banning a large amount of semi-automatic sporting firearms based on the firearm having at least one cosmetic feature, such as an adjustable stock, which allows people of different heights and statures to use the same firearm without making permanent modifications to the firearm. Or the presence of a simple pistol grip or foregrip (which allows a hunter or a target shooter to stabilize their firearm and be more accurate)can now make a firearm which was legal under the old NYS law, now illegal under the new law.
Another provision in the new law now outlaws any magazines with a capacity of over 7 rounds. A change from the old law which allowed 10 round magazines. Previously owned 10 round magazines can be kept and are legal, but only if you load no more than 7 bullets into them. Under the old law magazines with a capacity of over 10 rounds could be kept if they were made prior to the enactment of the old law. The new law now outlaws all the previously legal pre-ban magazines and requires owners of those magazines to sell them to someone who can legally possess them, or the owners can destroy them, or surrender the magazines to law enforcement to dispose of.
The new law also now mandates that anyone wishing to purchase any ammunition must receive a background check prior to the purchase of ammo. This provision will likely greatly burden gun shops and sporting goods stores, with longer wait times for customers and employees alike, which will be tied up performing background checks for anyone and everyone wishing to buy a simple box of ammunition. The new system for ammo purchases will also red flag and put individuals on a watch list if they purchase a certain amount of ammo which the government still has refused to define.
An even more controversial provision in the new law requires the owners of certain semi-automatic sporting firearms to register with the state in order to keep their firearms which were legally purchased under the old law. Opponents of the SAFE Act are greatly troubled by this provision because they argue historically, registration always leads to confiscation. Opponents also argue that criminals aren't going to follow this part of the law, nor will it stop any criminal from possessing any firearm or magazine which this law bans or heavily regulates.
For the majority of the participants, they all agreed that the law (SAFE Act) is too restrictive, over reaching, and will do nothing to stop guns from getting into criminal hands. Almost all disagreed with the manner in which the law was passed. The law was passed through the state senate on the dark of night of January 14. Senators were given a mere 30 minutes to look the whole bill over before passing it. The bill was written behind closed doors in the weeks leading up to its passage, with absolutely zero public input. The bill bypassed the NY Constitutional provision requiring a 3 day wait to vote on the bill after copies of the bill are delivered to the desks of legislators. Governor Andrew Cuomo used a controversial constitutional provision called "message of necessity" which bypasses the 3 day vote rule and allows a bill be put up for an immediate vote. State Senator Dean Skelos, Senate Republican Leader allowed the controversial piece to go to the senate floor for a vote and advocated and voted for the legislation, leading many citizens to charge Senator Skelos with making backroom deals and not voting according to his constituency.
This will most likely not be the last rally to be held in the state capitol in opposition to the SAFE Act. Ever since the law was passed, various rallies were held in Albany, with some coinciding with certain rally dates taking place in states all across the country in opposition to similar legislation being considered at the federal level and in states all across the country.

Several others, and possibly some homes, in town were also without power. The cause was not immediately available.
City Hall was also without power; however, the lights were kept on, thanks to a generator.

Things are definitely changing. We came across this interesting story about Harvard and its decision to approve a BDSM sex club on campus. This isn't a new thing, as S&M sex clubs have been sprouting up on campuses all across the country, particularly on Ivy league campuses. The popularity of erotic novel 50 Shades of Grey has certainly contributed to this trend.
Many things have changed since I was in college. The hookup culture has always been there but so many new ways have sprouted up. First, you had online dating of course, with things like adult dating sites making quick hookups even easier. Now things are even more in the open with these clubs. I want to go back to school!

Richard F. Wehrli
Class Year:1956
Outstanding Alumni Award Winner 1977
Richard Wehrli has been a North Central College Trustee since 1981. While a student, he was a four-year letter winner in basketball, one of the team's top scorers in 1955-56 and served as co-captain his senior year. In 1960, he established Naperville Ready Mix, a firm that supplies concrete to the Chicago market. Over the years he has established or revitalized several other related businesses, including Naperville Excavating, Easy Street Construction, Mustang Construction and DuKane Precast Company. In 1999, Wehrli was a co-recipient of North Central's Gael D. Swing Award for Meritorious Service, which recognizes alumni, trustees and friends whose service to the College exemplifies the quality and integrity that were hallmarks of Gael D. Swing's tenure as president. Wehrli and fellow alumnus, Al Benedetti '48, were instrumental in heading a major fund drive to rebuild the College's stadium after a devastating flood in July 1996. The state-of-the-art complex holds 5,500 spectator seats, a modern press box, track and field facilities, athletic training rooms, and new classrooms and offices for several college departments. In 2003, Cardinal Stadium was renamed Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium in honor of these alumni.

The classic SDS relies on inordinate length, culminating in an atrocious inversion of initial letters (which AIN'T a pun!) - like the "Basques in one exit" story (in its many variations.)
My impression of a Shaggy Dog Story is different. It comes from the paradigm tale of a man who lost his dog - it was a very shaggy dog - and has promised a BIG reward, and the story chronicles the adventures of a man trying to find and retrieve this very very shaggy dog and claim the reward. It involves harrowing experiences, narrow escapes, near misses, anything you like to make the story longer, and then when the storyteller finally takes pity on the audience and brings the story to an end, Our Hero brings this enormously shaggy dog back to the man who offered the reward in the first place (this homeward journey with dog in tow can be another adventure in itself), and the owner says..."Oh, no, that's not my dog, my dog wasn't THAT shaggy!"
So a Shaggy Dog Story is any long convoluted story that ends in a major anticlimax. Sometimes it's an utter urrelevancy. Puns are nice but only incidental. The details of the saga are unimportant to being called an SDS, though they certainly add sparkle to the tale, but it's more the length and complexity, and then the letdown.
Selected punchlines include
--the extended search for the famous "Tiz" bottle that ends with a row of bottles that when gently struck sound out the notes "Mike on Tree Tiz..." (to the notes C, C, D, B...)
--the long-lost coat, sought and finally found by an anthropomorphized moth, that turns out to be synthetic, the final line being "Did you ever see a moth bawl?"
to name just two.
I'm confident you know others!

"Basques in one exit" ain't a pun?! But 'tis, ennit? A calembour by any other name is still paronomasiac no matter what. Shakes head: I've heard many a shaggy dog story that had a punning punchline. (Wanders off muttering ...)

There is an Official Name for that kind of wordplay involving inversion of letters or sounds from a common phrase: Puzzlewonks call it "Chiasmus."

That's not what I meant. I was referring to your apostrophized plural in: "where the son's raise meat."

>>>Am I correct in assuming that you reserve the term pun for those bon mots that use alternative spellings of words with the same pronunciation to invoke a groan from the audience?
Gotta tell you folks, Puns, SDS, word switcheroos...they ALL make us groan. We just shake our heads, mime "cuckoo-puffs" to one-another while pointing this way, and carry on as if nothing ever happened.

I got it!
"Whats a mouse when it spins" is a anagram.
But what does it mean?
Follow the deciphering...
What's a mouse
when it spins
rearrangingly becomes...
A tsuwm's a hoe
when it spins
rearrangingly becomes...
"a tsuwm's a hoe"
ain't hip news
This is strange because a tsuwm is not a hoe.
Everyone knows that a tsuwm's a rake.

An Con-Man decided to try something new. He opened a medical clinic and put a sign up outside: "Get your treatment for $500, if not treated get back $1,000."
One Doctor thought this was a good opportunity to earn $1,000 and went to his clinic.
Doctor: "I have lost taste in my mouth."
Con-Man: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."
Doctor: "This is gasoline!"
Con-Man: "Congratulations! You've got your taste back. That will be $500."
The Doctor gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days later to recover his money.
Doctor: "I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything."
Con-Man: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."
Doctor: "But that is Gasoline!" That's what you gave me last time!
Con-Man: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be $500."
The Doctor leaves angrily and comes back after several more days.
Doctor: "My eyesight has become weak."
Con-Man: "Well, I don't have any medicine for this. Take this $1,000."
Doctor: "But this is $500..."
Con-Man: "Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $500."

By Karl Terry: Freedom New Mexico columnist
My dear wife hollered at me from her position in front of the computer in our home office one morning last week as I was getting ready for work: "Did you buy something on eBay?"
"Don't reply, they're just phishing," I hollered back.
"I don't think it has anything to do with fishing tackle," she responded.
I left the bathroom and went into the office and spelled the word p-h-i-s-h-i-n-g out for her and explained it was the word some genius came up with for the act of sending fraudulent e-mails and popup Web pages in an effort to mine personal information out of unsuspecting people.
This whole identity theft thing has gotten completely out of hand these days. If you had mentioned identity theft to me 20 years ago I would have been on the lookout for someone dressing like me, cutting their hair the same and trying to impersonate my voice. These days we're no longer that individual to the people we do business with, now we're just a series of numbers, passwords and "secret questions" that control dang near everything we do.
Just last week I activated a credit card given to me as part of a bonus program where I work. In order to activate it so I could check the balance online I had to register by filling out an online form containing personal information along with passwords and "secret questions" longer than most of the semester tests I took in high school.
Another person I talked to had trouble remembering the answers to all the "secret questions" associated with a loan at his bank because they asked him so many.
In my job as an automobile salesperson we've recently been given lots of new rules for the procedures we use in dealing with customers' personal information to make us compliant with what the Federal Trade Commission calls the new Red Flag Rules. The rules make us more alert to persons who might be using improper identity and it helps give customers assurance that we're protecting them from their personal information being stolen or misappropriated. I'm all for that because folks are having a hard enough time these days without having to correct the problems of an identity thief.
Correcting those problems once they occur can be a nightmare according to sources (including actual victims) I've talked to in doing identity theft stories in the past. Sometimes people have been held responsible for debts they didn't incur and suffered from the lack of credit because of the dastardly sorts that have used stolen numbers for their own personal gain.
My quick and simple advice to everyone on avoiding identity theft is to absolutely not give out personal information like Social Security, bank account, driver's license or credit card numbers to anyone you don't know or whose contact you didn't personally initiate. That includes phone calls, e-mail and Internet contact and even door-to-door peddlers or contractors.
If someone calls and says they're from the bank and a mistake was made in a recent deposit or they've detected some unauthorized person trying to access your account, whatever you do, don't give that person your account number or any information, which they will say is to verify they have the right person on the line.
Hang up and look up the phone number of the bank or entity that is supposedly calling you and tell them what has just occurred. Even if you do hang up on your banker, he/she is going to understand completely why you did it and not mind at all.
You should call the police immediately if you think you've been victimized. However, law enforcement officials in the past have told me there is often little that can be done to track down and prosecute identity thieves after they hit you so the best course of action is to stay alert and learn more about their methods.
For information, visit the FTC's Web site for avoiding identity theft at:
or the New Mexico Attorney General's Web site at:
Try the tabs for Internet Safety, Need Help and Publications for lots of information.

What is in this article?:
- Peanut Profitability winners excelled under extreme conditions
- List of winners
Last year was a lesson in perseverance for many U.S. peanut producers, as a promising spring soon gave way to dry, extremely hot weather conditions during summer and early fall.
Last year was a lesson in perseverance for many U.S. peanut producers, as a promising spring soon gave way to dry, extremely hot weather conditions during summer and early fall.
But thanks to near-perfect harvest weather and the performance of new varieties, some growers were rewarded with exceptional crops, including the 2011 Farm Press Peanut Profitability Award winners.
"All of these winners did an excellent job of managing their costs in a very extreme year without sacrificing yield," says Marshall Lamb, research director for the National Peanut Research Laboratory in Dawson, Ga., and advisor for the Peanut Profitability Program.
Last year, peanut growers in the United States averaged 3,250 pounds with one of the worst droughts in years in areas of the lower Southeast and the Southwest, says Lamb.
Like Peanut Profitability winners from previous years, the 2011 honorees did an excellent job of managing fixed costs, he says. The awards are based on production from the previous year.
"It's difficult many times for farmers to manage variable costs because of a dry year and increased irrigation costs. And, whenever, there's a pest outbreak, they have to use more chemicals. But the one thing farmers can manage is their fixed or equipment costs, and these winners did an outstanding job of doing that.
"In more than 10 years of collecting data for this program, our winners always do an excellent job of managing fixed costs — they maintain low fixed costs and a low overhead," says Lamb.
The 2011 winners followed "the basics," he adds. "The basics include good herbicide, fungicide and fertility programs. It's all about maintaining a basic production system as recommended by research. These growers did all of the basics and they did not cut corners," he says.
A good rotation also was common among these producers, says Lamb, noting that the Lower Southeast region winner also had a statewide high yield in Georgia of 6,626 pounds per acre.
"Our Lower Southeast winner used IrrigatorPro to schedule irrigation on his peanuts, and in a year like last year, that was a key to 3-ton-per-acre yields. In Texas, weather always is a challenge, and our Southwest winner applied 14 inches of irrigation in 2010."
Each of this year's winning growers represents one of the three major U.S. peanut production regions — the Southwest Region, the Upper Southeast Region and the Lower Southeast Region. Farm Press established the awards program in cooperation with the Southern Peanut Growers Conference and the Southern Peanut Farmers Federation.
The winning growers will be honored during the 12th annual Southern Peanut Growers Conference at the Edgewater Beach Resort in Panama City, Fla., July 21-23.

In 2005, a program was launched that would change the history of land management in New Mexico – and now the nation. A vision to work with partners in restoring degraded landscapes across the state became action and, with over 3 million acres restored since 2005, results on a historic scale!
Partners under 'Restore New Mexico' started with a remarkably ambitious goal: pooling their resources to restore hundreds of thousands of acres of land each year within priority watersheds, regardless of land ownership type, leading to the restoration of landscapes to their full ecological potential.
Truth be told, we didn't know if this vision was actually doable on the scale we had hoped for. The bottom line was that we wanted to make a difference; everyone interested in restoring land was, and is, welcome to join us. It's only because of the many partners involved in this effort – BLM, along with other federal and state agencies, local communities, soil and water conservation districts, ranchers and other individuals, the energy industry and conservation groups – that we have restored over 3 million acres!
Since day one, our motto has been Git R Done! There are another 4 million acres in our state that could use some sort of restoration work, such as thinning of overgrown forests, reductions in mesquite, creosote and salt cedar, plus the reclamation of abandoned oil fields, and more.
So, what does the future hold? We will continue and even expand restoration and reclamation efforts and continue to recruit partners to join us. We hope you will help us in these efforts!Click here to view before and after photos of Restore New Mexico treatments.

I think I've been on a doom withdrawal for the whole of 2010 because I don't even think I listened to any that year....until this (in early 2011 mind you). Great follow up to their EP and I have to say that not only is this stone-solid, but surprisingly adventurous too. Its those small touches like the acoustic bass opening and percussion work of "White Grave", and this bass lines of throughout the whole album. once again its great to here doom with clean vocals.

2012-12-15 - Jimmy and Annie Mae Woods opened the doors of James Woods Funeral Parlor, December 15, 1928 in Pasadena, California. Please see "Our Heritage" page. Today, 84 years later the Woods-Valentine Mortuary is still a Black owned, 3rd generation family business in the San Gabriel Valley. Some 4 years after Fred and Arzella Valentine purchased the business from Uncle Jimmy's widow Annie Mae, the mortuary was re-named, Woods-Valentine Mortuary in 1958. Though the sacrifice has been great for the many families served over the years, the motto, "Our Aim is to be worthy of your confidence" continues to resonate to each family served throughout the 84 years. The third generation of the Woods-Valentine business, Janyce Valentine and Gail Valentine Taylor along with their parents continue to comfort, love, protect and respect all people who have come through the doors and put their trust in them. Thank you to the late James and Annie Mae Woods for their insight to the needs of the community in 1928 and to Fred, Arzella, Janyce and Gail for being the treasure you are today to all those you continue to serve. May God richly Bless you and the staff for many, many more years of service.

quote CorruptionThe thing is it doesn't even feel like I've missed out on much at all in the intervening books I've skipped!Clearly you know what you're talking about when giving Jordan credit, having not even read four and half of the books Jordan penned.
quote CorruptionI'm reluctant to give credit to Jordan to be honest. To me the series was dead in the water, enough so to make me stop reading part way through A Crown of Swords (I seem to remember another mention of Nynaeve pulling her braid which caused me to delete the e-book immediately, in a huff of frustration)You really should go back and read through Knife of Dreams. Crossroads of Twilight was the only book that I've ever found to be utterly boring. I wouldn't be so quick to give Sanderson credit for injecting some life into the series since Jordan started that work, again, in KoD. Not that Sanderson isn't magnificent, Gathering Storm is among my top 3 books in the series, but it's not like Jordan didn't start picking up the pace again near the end (you know...because it was the end.)
quote Mister MacPhisto^True story. The last three in particular were monsters.Ok, bluexy I was about to say as I recall there being some things in the prequel that's best if you don't read it first. Or early.

Gas drilling, the budget and Woodstock, Bethel's town meeting covers the bases
Joe Martens, the commissioner of the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), said on October 25 that it is not clear if gas-drilling permits will be issued in 2012, because the High-Volume Hydraulic Fracturing Advisory Panel was going to miss a November 1 deadline to file a related report to Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Still, Bethel is one of four towns in Sullivan County moving steadily ahead with the adoption of zoning rules that would prevent gas drilling and hydraulic fracturing in the town. The intention of the board is to have the new zoning in place before the DEC begins to issue drilling permits.
At the Bethel town meeting on October 25, resident Hal Salzman criticized supervisor Dan Sturm for creating a zoning review committee to review the proposed amendment that would ban fracking, and said it seemed to be delaying the process.
Sturm reiterated his position that the review was needed to tailor the amendment to the needs of Bethel, and council member Vicky Vassmer Simpson added that the committee wanted to be sure that the amendment did not keep other businesses, which would otherwise be welcomed, out of the town.
Council member Denise Frangipane said that watching other communities going through the same process, she thought the part that would be most time consuming was the State Environmental Quality Review, which would require public hearings, and the need to respond to any and all comments.
Sturm said that the amendment would probably be ready to present to the town board and the public by December 15. He said even if the DEC were to operate on a very aggressive schedule, the agency would not issue any permits before the middle of February 2012.
Council member Richard Crumley said he was undecided about drilling and the amendment.
In other news, the board accepted Sturm's preliminary budget for 2012, which he said was $50,000 less than the amount allowed by the state-mandated 2% property tax cap. He said the small increase was achieved in spite of the rise of cost of retirement payments, health insurance, workers compensation and other programs. He said, "It's a bare bones budget with some shared sacrifice."
During public comment, resident Josh Teitelbaum criticized the board for spending $51,000 in legal costs related to Roy Howard and Jeryl Abramson, and their frequent large gatherings and Woodstock reunions at their property on Route 17B. Teitelbaum accused the town of "bullying" the couple, and said the town was selectively enforcing its code.
Sturm said $51,000 was the amount the town spent from 2005 through the present, and that since Sturm became supervisor in 2008, the amount spent was $3,080. He said the couple had permits to have 250 people camp on their property during the Phish weekend, but had advertised for up to 5,000 people, promising 28 bands, food and other activities.
He said that Howard and Abramson had violated a consent order. As such, the board would collect a $25,000 fine, plus legal fees if the couple appealed and, as supervisor, he had no choice but to pursue the matter in court.
