BalletMet announced in May that Artistic Director Gerard Charles would be leaving Columbus to work with The Joffrey, Chicago's esteemed ballet company. Charles stuck around to help the group he's led for more than 10 years prepare for the 2012-13 season, but now it's time for a proper send-off — complete with dance celebrities.
For the Global Dance Gala, ballet dancers from around the world — many with ties to BalletMet — are taking to the Ohio Theatre stage.
Perhaps the most notable names on the program are New York City Ballet principals Abi Stafford and Jared Angle. Two top dancers from arguably the best ballet company in the country performing in Columbus for less than $40? That's probably going to happen again, well, never. For this bill Stafford and Angle, who also dance with former City Ballet principal Tom Gold's company, will perform Gold's choreography for Gershwin's "Three Preludes."
Also on the program: Houston Ballet principal dancers Amy Fote and Simon Ball will perform a pas de deux from "Madame Butterfly" choreographed by former BalletMet Artistic Associate Stanton Welch. Martha Leebolt and Tobias Batley from the English company Northern Ballet will present part of former BalletMet Artistic Director David Nixon's new work "Cleopatra." And National Ballet of Canada principal dancers Greta Hodgkinson and Guillauame Cote will show off the Black Swan pas de deux from "Swan Lake." BalletMet dancers and tap dancer Marshall Davis Jr. also will take the stage.
Despite Charles' departure, the company will not be lacking in artistic leadership. Renowned choreographer James Kudelka is serving as artistic consultant for the group this season. And the company is pleased to be sorting through 88 resumes submitted by candidates vying to replace Charles, according to BalletMet spokesman Terence Womble.

A meeting with representatives of the disputing parties, in which the Mediator intervenes as a neutral party to assist in the settlement of disputes. The Mediator cannot force the parties to agree, but he or she can offer the parties an opportunity to discuss their problems candidly, which can help to solve them.
Mediation can be requested after impasse, or when both parties agree that talks are not bringing the dispute towards a settlement.
Either party or jointly, but both sides must agree to the request.
Wherever the disputing parties are located. Meetings have been held in motels, school buildings, courthouses and libraries. This office prefers to schedule meetings during the day, Monday through Friday. Currently, such meetings can be scheduled within two weeks.
The Mediation format is controlled by the Mediator, in consultation with the parties. Most commonly, the Mediator starts by bringing the parties together to identify the open issues to be resolved, then meeting with them separately (or "caucusing") to get more information. There is no time limit, unless the parties impose one. The Mediator uses various techniques designed to help the parties understand each other's positions, and to find the ideas needed to solve the problem.
To support effective mediation, the Office requires each side to make available the people necessary to bind their parties to tentative agreements. A proposed settlement should be identified for each issue in dispute. The Office prefers to have at least two rooms available, one for the initial common meeting, and the other one for the parties to meet separately with the mediator to caucus. The parties are free to continue negotiations up to the time of the mediation session.

We will screen a rough cut of When I Walk by Jason DaSilva. After working as a filmmaker for ten years, filmmaker DaSilva puts his experience with having progressive Multiple Sclerosis to the screen.

When I Walk is a featured project of Tribeca All Access. For more info about the film, please go to: http://www.wheniwalk.com.
Director/Producer Jason DaSilva's first collaborative feature film was CUBA DREAMS, shot in Havana in 1999, and screened at the Latin American Film Festival in Cuba later that year. His next film, OLIVIA'S PUZZLE, screened at more than 30 festivals including Sundance, received an Oscar qualification in the summer of 2003, and was broadcasted on HBO and PBS in 2004. His third film, LEST WE FORGET, premiered at the International Documentary Festival of Amsterdam in 2004. His most recent short TWINS OF MANKALA premiered at Tribeca Film Festival 2006 and aired on PBS in 2006. DaSilva returned to his passion of interdisciplinary art, showing his time-based artwork at galleries internationally and at the Whitney Biennial 2006. His last documentary, FROM THE MOUTHPIECE ON BACK premiered at AFI/Dallas in 2008. DaSilva is a recipient of the Project: Involve Filmmaker Fellowship award from IFP/New York.

I've been helping out an education school (ie teacher training program) that uses video extensively in its curriculum. We film in great schools with great teachers, then cut that material up to demonstrate discrete techniques of teaching, both content oriented and classroom management oriented.
We're looking to bring on some extra help with the video work, including a ton of assistant editing work and some editing and shooting work. It's not documentary film work exactly, but I think it would be a great opportunity for someone getting started to get some serious experience with Final Cut and doc-style shooting.

A radio call in programme was set up whereby persons will give their background story and say why they needed to come home for the holidays.
The winners were selected by a panel draw and the winners were Keisha George and Crystal Regis.
Caribbean Airlines provided the return air travel for the winners and our Grenada team was on hand to welcome the "foreigners" back home.
Crystal Regis is embraced by her father as she shows up at her family home in Grenada, whilst Keisha George's mother is lost for words upon her daughter's surprise return home for Christmas. Kudos to our Marketing department for engaging in such a heart warming initiative, bringing families together for the holidays.

Do Work: The BaseBald Way!
A few years ago, a good friend of mine burned a handy mantra into my brain: DO WORK!
While it may sound like a simple phrase, you'd be surprised how difficult it is for some people, to actually do work, to make a difference, to turn dreams into reality. There are doers. And there are do not'ers. I like to think of myself as a doer.
And I am not alone.
In fact, the good folks at the St. Baldrick's Foundation are constantly doing work — not just work, but good, excellent WORK — to help enrich the lives of children who suffer from cancer by devoting time and effort towards funding childhood cancer research. Outside of the US government, the St. Baldrick's Foundation funds more in childhood cancer research grants than any other organization, and they do so through driving folks to show their support by shaving their heads.
Since 2000, over 240,000 volunteers have shown their support by shaving their heads and now the foundation is stepping up to the plate with the BaseBald campaign!
For many of us, being a kid is synonymous with little league, but for those children victimized by cancer, such a life is not guaranteed. Please take a moment to check out the BaseBald website and consider helping out in any way possible. So far, 25 teams from around the country have taken part, raising over $270,000 towards research.
If you're really feelin' it, find an event near you and consider a cue-ball look for a good cause. I plan on getting my head shaved on June 23 at the Irish Oak in Chicago. Besides, if it works for Michael Jordan, Brian Urlacher and Matt Holliday, I'm sure it will look good on you!
Do Work!

Good for you!!! That's awesome. I already look bad with half my face black and ble!!!
This is great Jeff! In my family we have a few women with long hair that for the past two years have joined a radio station event where they collect the hair to make wigs for the kids. At work we are big supporters of the Relay for Life in Simi Valley beneffting the Cancer society. All of our contributions are matched by the company. I see there are two baseball teams in California taking part in this BaseBald foundation.
Great mantra, Jeff! And, there's no better way to "Do Work" than to help children. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to helping raise funds and awareness for childhood cancer research. Because of incredible volunteers like you, who donate their time and talent, the Foundation is able to provide critical resources to researchers and institutions, ensuring that children with cancer receive the best chance for a cure.

The Pentax K-30 is the latest addition in the company's DSLR range. With stiff competition in the mid-range DSLR market, does it do enough to stand out from the crowd? We find out in our Pentax K-30 review.
Pentax K-30 Review
A few examples of the features we've seen filter down to mid-price models from more advanced DSLR's in recent years include HD video, Vari-angle displays, and support for attaching an external microphone to enhance audio recording.
Pentax is no exception to the idea of introducing higher-spec features within its lower-spec models. For their latest mid-price DSLR, the Pentax K-30, they've turned to the K-5 for inspiration. Interestingly, the Pentax K-30 adopts weather sealing and the intension of this is to target a wider audience that desire a camera which can shoot in any weather condition. This, combined with innards from the K-01 and K5 creates a DSLR that has plenty of potential on paper.
Pentax K30 Review – Features
Earlier we mentioned the Pentax K-30 shares similar internals to that of Pentax's K-01. The APS-C CMOS sensor as found within Pentax K-30 has been lifted from the K-01, which was previously pinched out of the Pentax K5.
While the design of the Pentax K-01 may have caused controversy, we applauded the way the CMOS sensor retained minute, hairline detail when we reviewed it earlier this year so there's no reason to suggest the Pentax K-30 should perform any differently. The same can be said for ISO response and with an ISO range of 100-12800 (expandable to 25,600) we're expecting comparable results.
Rather than adopting the Prime II image processing engine as used within the K-5, the Pentax K-30 uses a Prime M image processing engine that has been optimized for HD video capture, smooth live view, low chromatic noise and low energy consumption. Pentax has always been known for producing fast performing DSLR's and the Pentax K-30 is no exception.
It can't quite match the K-5's impressive 7fps continuous burst rate, but the Pentax K-30 remains a strong candidate for shooting high-speed sequences with the ability of rattling out a burst at 6fps. This makes it faster than two of its closest rivals – Nikon's D3200 (4fps) and the Canon 650D (5fps) and puts it in the same speed league as many semi-pro DSLR's such as Canon's EOS 5D Mark III.
The SAFOX IXi+ autofocus system the Pentax K-30 uses is also a new development. It now features improved optical components, including a diffraction lens that's intended to improve AF responsiveness in low light situations.
As for the arrangement of AF targets, nothing has changed over the K5. It features Pentax's tried and tested 11-point (nine cross type) array and as well as AF.A (auto), AF.S (single), AF.C (continuous) and Manual, there's a bright green AF assist lamp to aid focusing in dark conditions.
Advancing on previous entry-level Pentax models such as the K-x and K-r, which are still available to buy but are no longer in production, the Pentax K-30 features a pentaprism viewfinder that offers a 100% optical field of view for the most accurate framing you can get. Directly beneath this lies a fixed 3in LCD screen that boasts a 921k-dot resolution. Much like the sensor this is the same as the type found on the K-01.
The issue of dust adhering to the surface of the sensor has always remained a threat for photographers who frequently swap lenses. To prevent the issue Pentax has fitted the Pentax K-30 with a shake/dust reduction system. Unlike some cameras that run their dust systems at the time the camera is shut down, the Pentax K30 runs it as the camera is switched on. This is the default setting and as we found there's the option to change this from within the menu system or switch it off altogether if you so wish.
As for video, the Pentax K-30 provides full 1080p HD movie capture at 30, 25 and 24 frames per second. Unfortunately the Pentax K-30 doesn't feature a 3.5mm mic port built into the body for attaching an external microphone, but you will find five settings to take independent control of audio levels from inside the movie menu.
Powered by a rechargeable D-BH109 Li-ion battery that is claimed to be good for approximately 480 frames, Pentax has continued with their tradition of making an AA battery holder so that it can be powered by AA batteries when required.
The only real disadvantage of this is that it takes up quite a lot of room where a larger Li-ion battery could be inserted, however it does give you the option of using AA's if you run out of rechargeable battery power or when you're working in remote areas where there's no access to mains power.
Pentax K30 Review – Design
To make the K-30 stand out from the crowd, Pentax has strayed away from a smooth, curved design and has produced a DSLR with a much more distinctive, angular shape.
Not only does it appear visually different, the K-30 adopts similar weather sealing to that found on the K5. In total there are 81 weather seals to prevent dust, dirt and moisture creeping past and reaching the internals. Though it's not intended to be completely waterproof and won't survive a submerging in water; it can withstand splashes of water and droplets of heavy rain should you be caught out in a typical British shower. Adding to this, the weather seals are made to endure dust and sand that could prove problematic in hotter climates, and for those who want to use their DSLR in colder environments, the K-30 will continue to operate in snowy conditions where temperatures can fall as low as -10 degrees.
Eager to test the weather seals we emptied the contents of a large bottle of water over the K-30. Once dry we then went one step further and put it in the freezer with the thermostat set to -10 degrees. Neither of these tests proved to be a problem for the K-30 and after switching it back on we were impressed by the way it continued to perform just as well as it did out of the box.
It should be pointed out that the K-30 is one of a kind – it's the only current mid-price DSLR on the market to feature weather sealing. It's a feature we're more accustomed to seeing on more expensive, semi-pro models so it's certainly a welcomed addition to this type of camera. Whether any other companies jump on board with the idea of taking weather sealing from their more advanced models and introducing it into lower spec models remains to be seen. Who knows this could become the next trend just like HD video and Vari-angle screens were.
In the hand the K-30 feels solid, robust and highly durable. This is in part thanks to its stainless steel chassis, which is different to the K-5's magnesium alloy chassis. The deep grip gives you plenty to wrap your fingers around and your index finger is left to rest comfortably on the shutter button. The only qualm we have about the shutter button is the lack or feel. Where on most other DSLR's you know where you are when you half depress the shutter, the K-30's shutter button feels slightly less positive and unrefined. At the rear, there's a large resting area for your thumb and just to the left of this is a command dial to adjust aperture. Unlike some cheaper DSLR's, the K-30 provides two separate command dials for controlling aperture and shutter speed independently. All of the buttons except the Live View button are in easy each of the right thumb, or index finger, making it a relatively easy camera to operate single handedly when your left hand is preoccupied.
As for the internal menu system there's no great changes so existing Pentax users will be able to familiarize themselves with the K-30 very quickly. The only aspect that's changed slightly is the status screen where Shutter Speed and Aperture values as well as a host of other variables are displayed. This is more colourful than before and behind the shutter and aperture settings is a subtle green to blue gradient. ISO and exposure compensation both have a darker blue backgrounds, with all numbers appearing in bright white. To access the K-30's electronic level function you're required to double tap the info button from the heads up menu screen.
On the side of the body beneath the pop up flash button is a RAW/Fx button that's designed to save you a few seconds searching through the menu system to switch the file format from RAW to JPEG and vice versa. Beneath this is a focus lever to control the focusing modes. Perfectly positioned at the lower front corner of the body, it's easily operated with the thumb when your left hand is being used to support the lens. In the furthest up most position the focusing mode is set to AF.S and one click down from this is the K30's continuous focusing mode that's labeled C on the body.
Testing both the single and continuous focusing modes in bright daylight conditions between near and far subjects at the maximum focal length on the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL WR lens revealed a snappy AF performance. The camera manages to lock onto subjects with little fuss or hesitation but what is noticeable is a high frequency whir as the lens operates. This isn't obvious when you're focusing on subjects that lie at the same distance from one another, but if say for example you focus on something very close to you and then want to focus on a subject in the distance, the noise of the AF can clearly be heard.
If you're wondering if this rather noisy AF operation will ruin audio when recording HD video, it won't. The K30 relies on manual focus only when creating movies and the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL WR lens that we used for a majority of our testing purposes offered a pleasingly quiet and smooth motion throughout its range. Reviewing AF performance in fading lighting conditions is always a good solid test for any camera. The good news is that the K30 performs admirably in low light and just like in bright lighting conditions it locked on swiftly, offering a reassuring beep to confirm correct focus. For those hard of hearing there's the option to increase AF beep volume from within the sound effects menu or you can switch it off altogether when you'd like to work as discreetly as possible. The only area in which the K30 lets itself down when it comes to focusing is in Live View mode. With the mirror swung out of the way to provide a constant feed to the screen, the K-30 relies on a contrast detect system that is fairly sluggish. It's a long way from being as fast as compact system cameras such as Panasonic's G5 which can focus within 0.09sec and is appropriately better known as Light Speed AF. On numerous occasions the K30 struggled to lock focus first time in Live View mode and the hunting of the lens back and forth did become somewhat frustrating over time, especially when we know the technology is out there.
Loaded with a SanDisk Extreme Pro 8GB SDHC card we performed a series of speed tests to find out just how quickly a 6 frame per second burst can be recorded. Set to RAW, the K30 is capable of shooting and recording 8 frames before it requires a brief respite for the buffer to clear. With the format switched over to RAW+JPEG it rattled out 7 frames. As for shooting JPEG's, a total of 47 frames were taken at 6fps before the K30 showed signs of slowing down. In all, it's a respectable performance by the K30 but as we found out in our testing, a faster Live View AF performance would be gratefully received in a future edition.
Image Quality
Pentax K30 Review – Image Quality
Tone & Exposure
In the past Pentax D-SLR's have been known to underexpose a touch, however we experienced no such concerns in our tests. Even in tricky situations where the lighting was harsh and the colours were vibrant, the K30 handled situations well. Loading a large selection of RAW files into Photoshop revealed histograms that shared a uniform shape and it was only when we turned the highlight and shadow clipping warnings on that we realised shadows were clipped ever so slightly. In areas where there were extremely bright highlights, the 77-segmented metering system delivered excellent results and retained superb detail, leaving little, if any work to be carried out with the recovery slider in Camera RAW.
RAW vs JPEG
As can be expected, there is a difference between the compressed and uncompressed files the K30 produces. Viewing our selection of shots in Adobe Bridge revealed JPEG's are far richer than RAW's in terms of saturation. Red, green and blue tones appear deeper and as an image the RAW file offers a better representation of the scene as it appeared to the eye. JPEG's also receive a strong level of sharpening which is made more noticeable when images are viewed up against their RAW counterparts.
Pentax K30 RAW example.
Pentax K30 JPEG example.
ISO sensitivity & noise
When we previously tested the K-01 we were extremely impressed by the way the sensor handled noise at its high sensitivity settings. The level of detail the sensor resolved up to ISO 3200 was exceptional and only began to fall away at ISO 6400. In regard to the K30, the ISO performance is nigh on identical, which is no great surprise considering the fact that it features an identical sensor. Ultra fine detail is controlled exceptionally well up to ISO 3200 and it's only when you push beyond this point that some of the finer details in an image become less distinct. Noise is evident at ISO 6400 and the two highest settings – ISO 12,800 and 25,600 should be avoided as the results at these sensitivities contain strong signs of colour noise.

Sharpness & detail
As far as sharpness and detail goes you can't fault the K-30. The 16.3Mp chip that Pentax has made clear is produced by Sony delivers outstanding levels of sharpness. Images are bursting with detail and to view the test images for yourself, make sure you check out our image sample gallery by clicking here.
Pentax K30 Review – Value
The K30 is available in a variety of different bundles, including a body only version that'll set you back £599. This puts it in the same price league as the Panasonic Lumix G5 and works out at roughly £100 less than Canon's recently launched EOS 650D. Other rivalry includes Nikon's D3200 and Sony's A57, both of which are cheaper alternatives to the K30, costing £489 and £519 respectively in body only form. Bundled with the standard 18-55mm DA L kit lens, the K30 can be picked up for £649. It's worth noting however that this lens is not designed to be weather resistant so if you'd like to take full advantage of the K30's weather resistant capabilities you'll want to choose it with the 18-55mm DA WR lens that is water-resistant, cold-proof and dustproof.
The cost difference between the non-WR and WR lens is £30, which brings the price of the K30 with the 18-55mm DA WR lens up to £679. This does place it at the expensive end of the mid-range DSLR scale, especially when you consider the K5 (Pentax's current semi-pro model) can be picked up for £693 (body only) or £729 with the 18-55mm WR lens. It doesn't feel like you're getting any less on the K30 than on the K5, making it a viable alternative for those who've might have thought about purchasing a K5 but have previously been put off by price. With so many crossovers between the K30 and K5 it also suggests that a K5 replacement could well be on the way, possibly at Photokina 2012. If you'd prefer a more versatile focal length than a 18-55mm standard zoom, Pentax has also bundled the K30 with the 18-135mm WR lens. This bundle costs £929 and gives you a focal length that's equivalent to 27-202mm.
A new Pentax release wouldn't be complete without a selection of different coloured models being offered. The K30 is available in black white and blue. Prior to this review going live Pentax sent us sample of the blue version as we were curious to find out what it would look like in the flesh. We were very impressed by it and thought the cool colour reflects the cameras water resistant capabilities.
Pentax K30 Review – Verdict
For a mid-price DSLR, the K30 certainly offers a lot. The sensor has been adopted from previous models, but this is a wise move by Pentax as the 16.3Mp CMOS chip certainly delivers impressive results.
The AF system is starting to show its age a little. Though it's fast at locking onto subjects when you're composing through the viewfinder, the contrast detect system proved to be a bit sluggish in Live View mode. You do end up having to wait a few seconds at times before it acquires correct focus and this is particularly irritating when we know there are much faster contrast detect AF systems currently being offered by other manufacturers. Add to this the lack of continuous focusing in video mode and there are areas for improvement.
Where the K30 really excels is in its build and handling. The rugged design is backed up by a multitude of weather seals to keep it protected. Offering such a high-end feature within a mid-price model is very commendable. We adore the feel of the K30 in the hand too. It feels solid and should survive a knock here and there. Add to this the 6fps burst rate and K30 is a very well equipped DSLR. It does stand out in the mid-range market and though it's currently expensive we expect its price to fall over coming months. For anyone looking to advance from a compact, the K30 makes a sensible choice. Best of all it will produce great images and give you all the DSLR control you need to progress your ability to the next level.


text: My LO is 6 months, and we've had to use an SNS the whole time because of my medical conditions. Lately we have a new problem... first of all, he hasn't taken my bare breast since maybe 6 weeks. I've discovered now though that he's not emptying my breast of milk! I've been pumping during Christmas break after feeding him just to get the milk out, but I have no idea what else to do to get him to empty the breast. I'm filling the whole SNS with donor breastmilk (YAY, no formula!), which is about 6 oz., and switching breasts when he's half through. Any suggestions as to what to do? I only produce maybe an ounce of milk a day, and I hate to think that my supply could go down because what I do produce isn't being used. I am using the red tubing already. I just finished feeding him and then pumping, and got out 6 cc (mL) of milk - I'm using small preemie bottles that tell you how many ccs you get so I don't have to guess. When I'm at work, I get about 8 ccs per breast.

Thanksgiving for the Butter-butt (but not the Butterballs)!
Hold your horses...give me a moment to clarify this title, I'm talking about birds here! When I say "butter-butt" I'm actually referring to a small grey songbird that has a bright yellow patch on its derrière (yes, this really is what dorky birders like myself call this bird when we're out birding). In particular, I'm talking about the below pictured butter-butt, that narrowly escaped death — hence the giving of thanks. In contrast, all those Butterball turkeys won't be giving much thanks. But hey, maybe you'll be inclined to give some on their behalf!
If this bird had a speech bubble, what would it be saying?
This is what Museum bird expert, Kimball Garrett, has to say about butter-butts, a.k.a. Yellow-rumped warblers:

A northwestern Wisconsin Chippewa tribe has started raising money for a possible lawsuit challenging a giant iron mine near their reservation.
The Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa has set up a link on the tribe's website that allows visitors to donate directly to the tribe. The site also lists an address for mailing checks. The link features a headline that reads "Help us prevent mining in the Bad River Watershed by donating today!"
Gogebic Taconite wants to dig an open-pit mine just south of the tribe's Ashland County reservation. Republican lawmakers passed a law earlier this month loosening the state's mining regulations to help the company.
Tribal members fear pollution from the mine will contaminate their water and wild rice sloughs.

Thank you!!! Yesterday was a good day! I keep on top of her for my schedule to keep going, meaning i woke her from her naps every 2 hours to nurse before she woke up, i think it helped with the fussiness, she was a bit fussy in the evening but i got her down at 11pm and she woke at 245am then i got her down again until 615am we have been using a heating pad to warm her area then we remove it and place her on it... so far its kinda worked not always, then this morning she was up for 2 hours and she nursed both side every hour until i got her down at like 830am she ket waking up would cry abit then close her eyes, this would repeat for 15 min until she fell asleep and so did i again for another 1 1/2 hr..... i think she fights the sleep bad, unless shes completely happy after a feeding... and the gas drop i think help a bit. every day is different nothing is the same
One question i have is my nipples have been tender, no sores etc maybe some mild brusing from after her nursing marathon the other night. is this normal ?? i have really saggy boob, and at times her nice wideopened mouth slips down and she is starting to get anooying when she sees my finger near to fix it... what to do? when im fuller its fine but when she has nursed til they are soft anf flabby its harder to get a good latch. i even use a rolled up wash cloth under then at times. im currently a 34-36 DD saggy i hate my boobs. I dont look like any of the ladies from my BFing group and when you look at their babies latch it looks alot more comfy then when i look at mine.. make sense?? arg anyways

500 calories per day PER BABY! Yeah for twins!
Does that change with older babies? Does it change when babies nurse less frequently?
i''m exhausted. i'm going to go recharge with some turtle cheesecake.
ps thank for the link to the weight chart. i feel really thin now. yay for not feeling like a holstein!
You burn 500-600 calories every day if you are exclusively breastfeeding (not every feeding). An ounce of BM has around 22 calories so 24-32 oz of BM (which is the daily intake of a baby) makes up 528-704 calories just about right
all this talk about food is makn me hungry

Nice emergency thread. If there is a starting 5 that looks less cohesive than ours at this point in the season, I'd be shocked. I just hope time is what they need, because Woodson seems intent to ride it out. Shump continues to show he's not doing enough right now to play even halfway through the 1st quarter. Depressing.
Let's go Knicks!

Boulder County unemployment rate at 4.4%
- published_in
- Today's News
Boulder County's unemployment rate slid from 4.7 percent in November to 4.4 percent in December, more than a full percentage point below December 2012's 5.5 percent rate. The county had 172,879 people employed and 8,027 looking for work.
Broomfield County's jobless rate dropped from 5.5 percent in November to 5.3 percent in December, with 29,952 people employed and 1,665 looking for work. That's compared to the county's December 2012 rate of 6.6 percent.
Boulder and Broomfield counties' unemployment rates dropped for the sixth month in a row.
Colorado added 2,200 nonfarm payroll jobs in December. The state's unemployment rate, meanwhile, dropped from 6.5 percent to 6.2 percent, just a shade above the December 2008 rate of 6.1 percent. Colorado's labor force decreased by 5,400 people in December and the number of people reporting themselves as employed increased 2,600, combining to account for the unemployment dip. Nationally, the unemployment rate for December was 6.7 percent.
Colorado added 43,900 jobs for the year in 2013, with the biggest private sector gains coming in professional and business services, education and health services, and construction. Financial activities and information both declined.
Colorado's unemployment rate declined more than a percentage point for the year, dropping from 7.5 percent in December 2012. The national rate dropped by nearly the same amount, from 7.9 percent.
Statewide, Cheyenne and Yuma counties on the Eastern Plains boasted the lowest December unemployment rates at 3.2 percent. Costilla County in southern Colorado had the highest rate at 12.3 percent.

Introducing… Diane Birch
The UK is not the only country to jump on the motown throw-back bandwagon. The US is catching up. Diane Birch is a singer in that vein. All tracks on the album have the scratch and whimper of a soul vinyl record. The kind one listens to from beginning to end. But, considering that this is a US artist, an element of twang and, dare I say, country exists throughout the album. Bible Belt has some solid old skool tunes like "Choo Choo" and the epic "Ariel," which brings back Elton John during his prime. The whole album is filled with scrumptious tracks from the smooth "Nothing But A Miracle," where show showcases her poignant voice to the haunting closer "Magic View." Diane Birch is definitely an artist to look out for. I'll keep you posted.

Rough Day and Yankee Loss😦
Omg today was stressful. I took my SAT, but that wasn't the stressful part, believe it or not! I was nervous when I was pacing the halls waiting for the test to start, but other than that I was calm. It was a long, boring exam, but it was easy. After 5 hours of spilling my brain for the test, I was relieved it was over. I arrived home just in time for the start of the game. The game…Oh, what a game! It was not a fun one for me….it was agonizing…pitiful…I just feel awful. My Yankees lost 7-6 in what was a heartbreaking game for me.
Pitching Analysis: I was overjoyed that I got home in time to Javier from the beginning. I was happy, cheerful, and optimistic after my test. I felt I could conquer anything, and hoped Javy had that same bravado (good SAT word right there lolz). Unfortunately, this was not the case. Javier was, well…let me just say it outright – pretending I don't realize it isn't going to solve anything: Javier was dreadful once again today. He couldn't even get an out in the 4th inning. In 3+ innings, Javy surrendered 5 runs, 3 homers, on 7 hits and 4 walks. He just looked miserable out there. He is so stressed out; it pains me to see him that way.
I would hide my face too if I were you, babe….OH! Did I just say that? I'M SO SORRY JAVY!!! But it's true….you poor pitiful baby….
Ozzie Guillen is a greasy rotten ****. I'm not sure if he did it, but even if he didn't I still feel that way about him. In the 3rd inning, the umpires confronted Javier and told him he had to change his glove because it is "illegal." ILLEGAL? Why, then, has he been using it for the last 4 years? I think Ozzie pointed that out to the umps to freak out Javy even more. He had to go down into the clubhouse and get a brand new glove. I mean, how rotten is that? The poor man is so uncomfortable already, and you have to add to that? For no reason? What really annoys me is that JJ Putz had the same glove only the colors were reversed, and no one said a thing. I think Girardi should have done something about it.
I know that's not why Javy was bad. But still….it's just wasn't right. Oh, Javier…you poor poor baby. I'm honestly very upset. I'm not mad at you, I just want you to succeed so much. The only reason I wasn't hysterically crying over Melky's departure for too long was because of you. I hate to admit it, but I am losing faith. I wonder now if it was worth it to get rid of Melky….
Joe Girardi got on my nerves today in the 7th. David Robertson has been so stinky lately. Why put him in in a 6-5 tight ballgame? Thanks to that, the Yankees lost. After Robertson screwed up the inning and put 2 guys on base, Girardi called on Marte to get out the lefty Pierzynski. Instead, Marte served up a 2-run double, which gave the ChiSox a 7-6 lead, and took all hope of a Yankee victory away.
Offensive Analysis: The Yankee offense really wasn't bad today. The lack of pitching led to loss today. I'm not really in the mood to go through the whole thing because they LOST…OH! I get that sick feeling when I think about Swish's 2-run HR in the 6th…that gave the Yanks a 6-5 lead. I was almost certain they would win it after that…but no….like I don't have enough stress on me already…they blew it.
I almost died in the 6th. Prior to Swish's home run, one of my truest loves….he….he….OH! WHY? WHHHYYYYY???? God, why did you do this to Curtis? To CURTIS?!?! He's just…oh, he's just too find…too GRAND….witnessing him limp like that felt like having a stake jammed through my heart….Just think: he was just starting to break out of his slump….he was just rounding the bases….and then he started hobbling…pitifully, painfully to 3rd base. It's his groin. A grade 2 strain to his left groin is going to sideline him to the DL for at least 15 days…can you imagine what this did to me? I wish I had magical healing powers…oh Curtis! How I wish I could just make it better baby…you poor thing….Seriously, no joke, I almost cried when I heard you were going to the hospital for an MRI…I expected something bad….
…..don't leave me…..:'(
It has been quite an agonizing day. Not exactly how I hoped to start the new month. Poor Javier….poor Curtis….today was just not the best day for my Yankees. What if Javy continues to struggle? And then they like….-gulp-…get rid of him….that's going to break my already half-broken heart. And…oh….what if GrandyMan's groin is more serious than we know? What if he's away for more than 2 weeks? I'm going to suffer from Granderson withdrawl….This is too agonizing…can it get worse? Will it?
Maybe the stress of junior year is finally catching up to me….maybe I am just overtired… It can't get worse. I mean it can, but it won't. It definitely won't. It will be okay. It has to, because these are the Yankees. They make things interesting, but when it's all over, it will be okay. It's a long season…there will be ups and downs. But at the end, I think I know where this team will be.
At #28.
Yeah. It's painful right now, but it will be alright. And there WERE some positives today…like Mitre (♥). That guy was dealing today. And Swisher's Yankee Stadium funk may finally be over. And Tex looked good today. And Jorge is alive!
I just need to calm down…
"Everything is alright, If I just breathe…"
6 Comments
OK, I'm here to calm you down! It was just one game and it was encouraging that the offense came back. And Mitre looked really good. I feel sorry for Javy too. He seemed so lost. Hopefully he'll figure it out. And Grandy will heal. So glad the SAT went well.
I think you beasted on your SAT🙂 Glad it went well. So sorry about your Yankees and injury of Curtis Granderson. Hopefully he can return ASAP.
So what your saying is the Yankees will be #28 out 30 teams at the end of the year… I can see that… LOL okay as part of a ritual to cheer yourself up just look at how the BoSox are doing…
Phillies Outside
First time reader of your blog, and I'm liking it! Great job!
Yes, this game wasn't exactly the greatest. I feel your frustration about Javier Vazquez. I want to see him succeed with us. He has some mechanical problems (His velocity was usually 93-94 but now it's barely reaching 90) and that's probably causing his mental problems. He needs to get that fixed somehow.
You forgot another positive: Boone Logan. He came in to face one batter, and threw three 95 MPH fastballs in a row, and then struck him out with a 97 MPH!! That's pure GAS. If he keeps his velocity up, he can be a good asset in the bullpen.
Glad you did well on your SATs! Kudos on using your SAT vocab in blogging. I wish I had a blog back when I took the SATs.
Pretty In Pinstripes
Oh boy, those SATs. I vaguely remember those. Your Yankees are doing well. It will be okay. Now breathe!!
Congrats on the SAT exams! And about the Yankees, lossno matter how many runs they give up, it only counts as ONE game.

At Least They're Not Prima Donnas
Game 1 of the World Series is tonight, but even though my foul mood cloud has finally dissipated, I'm not watching it. Frankly, I don't really care who wins, though if pressed to choose, I would probably prefer the Rangers.
Instead, I've been searching the internet for entertaining tidbits to share with you. Did you know that the comments section of MLB.com articles can be a treasure trove of amusement?
I found this particular comment in response to a column of Phillies news regarding, among other things, Utley's subpar season and Rollins' declining numbers. I'll have to assume that the author is probably a Phillies fan, though they seem not to think much of the majority of the team, and apparently don't believe in capitalization.:
According to 420philly, the Phillies are a "bunch of pre madonnas".
Aha! No wonder we got beat in the NLCS – we need to let this team of "pre madonnas" mature into full-fledged Madonnas.
But which Madonna?
Are we talking about the Material Girl?
Or the Spiritual Girl?
And which one would be the better ballplayer?
3 Comments
I love the comments that follow the MLB articles. They crack me up, both because the reactions are so extreme and nonsensical and because nobody seems to know how to spell!
Nice! Always a soldier for semantics, those little misspellings often get me goin' on my high horse. I love it!
Yep, such quality promotional work for the school systems, but I still like the question you pose, which Madonna would be better… hmmmm that's like asking what are they feeding Burrell and Ross in San Francisco…

April 2, 2012 —
Sullivan County District Attorney Jim Farrell announced today that Daquan Gray, aka "Day Day", age 22, of Monticello, N.Y. was convicted after a week-long jury trial in Sullivan County Court of Gang Assault in the First Degree, Assault in the First Degree, 2 counts of Criminal Use of Firearm in the First Degree and 2 counts of Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree, all violent felonies.
Farrell said that evidence established that Gray, a Bloods street gang member, shot a 27 year old man in the neck with a 32 caliber handgun on the morning of August 21, 2011, in the courtyard at Evergreen Housing Complex in the Village of Monticello. The victim was paralyzed and is now a paraplegic, after the bullet lodged near his spine.
The shooting stemmed from a disagreement between a ranking Bloods member and the victim over a girl. That ranking Bloods member, Jason Elder, aka "TI", was later apprehended by the FBI for drug conspiracy charges and is pending prosecution by the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
Three other men, Isaiah Blanch, aka "Tall Blood", age 25, Felix Rodriguez, aka "June June", age 20, both members of the Bloods street gang, and Messiah Lockhart, aka "Siah", age 32, a Bloods associate, were also convicted of Gang Assault in the Second Degree, by pleas of guilty on March 7, 2012, for their role in surrounding the victim and preventing his escape so Gray could shoot him.
All three, including the two Bloods, admitted that they knew Gray had a gun and the plan was to shoot and harm the victim. All three face 5 years in prison and 5 years of post-release supervision when they are sentenced on May 30, 2012. As the triggerman, Gray faces up to 40 years in prison when sentenced on June 22, 2012.
After the jury returned its verdict, County Judge Mike McGuire issued an order of protection prohibiting Gray or any third party on his behalf from having any contact with the prosecution's civilian witnesses. Gray was arrested after an investigation by the Monticello Police led by Detective Sergeant Gerard Dietz.
Farrell praised the work of the Monticello Detectives who put this case together and Meagan Galligan who was the trial prosecutor. "It is high time for the violence that plagues our county seat to end. The law abiding citizens of Evergreen have every right to live in peace and not have to worry about the safety of their families because of violence and gang shootings.
This verdict, and the sentencing that will follow, will send a clear message that this violent behavior will not be tolerated and that those who engage in it will be held accountable. The Monticello Police, Det. Dietz, ADA Galligan and my office worked tirelessly to obtain justice for the victim and Daquan Gray and this jury's verdict ensures it." Farrell said.
ray will be sentenced as a second violent felony offender having two prior felony convictions. In 2008, Gray was convicted of the violent felony of Assault in the 2nd Degree for shooting another man with a handgun and injuring. He received a state prison sentence in that case. In 2006, Gray was convicted of Robbery in the 3rd Degree and also received a state prison sentence after violating probation. Gray was on parole at the time of this shooting and faces consecutive time for his parole violation, as well.

My son is 3 days old today.
I thought my milk "arrived' because my boobs have been , heavy, huge, and ROCK HARD PAINFUL all day.
At the peditrician appt today it seemed my son has lost over a POUND, and in only 3 days?!
I cannot even get him latched on decently now that my boobs are huge painful bags of rocks, and I just attempted to pump to release pressure / avoid a clog / confirm milk... and I am getting a grand total of a teaspoon at best-- and no relief from the rocky pain. Son won't wake up and nurse either-- i know he is waiting for 11pm then will be up all night while I am falling asleep standing up.
This was a bit of a vent but I am already thinking WHY am I going down this road again (2nd baby here).. low supply and constant failure and depression (refuse to take meds while nursing).

My Thanks to Julia's Boston 2nd Graders!…
Here's a very special note of thanks to Julia's second grade class. They were working on Acrostic Poems today, and included one for me:
New York
Enormous Crowds
I am very touched by the generosity of Julia's students to include me in their thoughts despite being their teacher's antagonist. I owe them a great big…
Curt Schilling was definitely an acquired taste. He was a player you loved or you hated…nothing in between. I will make no bones that I fell into the latter category, but I respect his accomplishments.
"You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life."
–Winston Churchill
It was easier for me when Curt pitched for Philadelphia. I recognized him as a quality pitcher, but he was never a threat since the Yankees were not locked in any competitive battles with the Phillies. The Yankees were still a few years away from their championship run when Curt won the 1993 World Series with the Phillies. But all that changed when Curt was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
In 2001, Curt went 22-6 for the D-Backs and was 4-0 with a 1.12 ERA in the play-offs. He was co-MVP with Randy Johnson in Arizona's 7-game World Series victory over the Yankees. I attended Games 2 and 6 in Phoenix, neither of which were enjoyable experiences for me. I disliked Curt and the Diamondbacks prior to that World Series, but the belligerent Arizona fans ensured a lifetime of disdain.
So, you can imagine how excited I was when Curt was traded to Boston in 2003.
Naturally, Curt played a pivotal role in the Red Sox dramatic comeback from a three games-to-none deficit in the 2004 American League Championship Series. Thus endeth the Curse of the Bambino.
I am not sorry to see him go, but I will tip my hat to a champion competitor…
Manager Joe Girardi has said that if the season started today, Xavier Nady would be the Yankees starting right fielder (replacing Bobby Abreu). But even Nady recognizes that both he and Nick Swisher will see plenty of playing time.
The New York Post
Here's hoping for a great 2009 season for the X-Man!
Don't look now, but the Red Sox and Tim Wakefield (again?) travel to Steinbrenner Field to face the Yankees and A.J. Burnett. The game is at 7:15 pm.
So, Julia, care to make a little wager?…
7 Comments
I'm glad Curt is gone. I know I have been pissing people off with my comments about him. He was a good pitcher. I'm not denying that. I just didn't like how he would always have something to say about everything. He was a jerk and not very well liked around the league. Let's all put our bloody socks up and say see ya Curt! I'm sure this won't stop him from opening his mouth about players or anything like that. He will probably write a book soon with more of his thoughts or opinions about players and whatever else he feels like bashing.
Can't wait to hear the next bet between you and Julia. lol
~ King of Cali
You know Scott – I think you read my mind! What do you say – same wager as last time? Winner – or loser – has to write blogs about the winning team and if your team loses by 3 or more that's the number of blogs you have to write. Game on my friend? I can even watch on NESN! And I know the second graders will appreciate what you wrote – on their behalf, thanks! I look forward to tomorrow night!
How kind of Julia's students! I'm sure she wasn't too happy about that, but it was very nice all the same. Curt Schilling was a very intersting man. Kind of weird that he decided to retire four weeks into spring training (or however long it's been).
I've always loved Schilling about as much as Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams did, but even I can respect his work on the mound. And his charity work for skin cancer and ALS. Something tells me we'll either see him as an analyst on Fox News or running for congress now that he's done with the whole baseball thing.-Erinhttp://plunking-gomez.mlblogs.com
Scott – I think you are the one who needs to enjoy tonight! Youk should be back with us tomorrow night! Rest up – tomorrow night could be very long for you! Game on! GO RED SOX!
Scott – you made a group of second graders very happy this morning! Though a couple did express concern that the dog would eat the "sox"! lol! But I think I can safely say that you have won over a group of the youngest Red Sox fans! Thank you for your kindness! I look forward to the game tonight.🙂
That picture of the monkey cracked me up first thing on this California morning! Thanks for the laugh, Scott. As for Schilling, I'm not sorry to see him go. He should have let his pitching do the talking.

But while any youngster can try out for the sports team, cheerleading is more restrictive.
At its last meeting, April 8, Skidmore-Tynan Independent School District trustees wrestled with the question of just how restrictive.
Trustee James Bennett — whose daughter, Alyssa, is a junior high cheerleader — asked for a review of the district's cheerleader program and handbook, citing the program's mandatory fees to become a cheerleader.
A student who is accepted pays $500 to join the junior high team; $600 to join the senior team.
"You can play any sport, and it doesn't cost you a dime," Bennett said, questioning whether that was unfair to students who can't afford the fees.
In addressing his questions directly to cheerleader sponsor Amanda Hubbard, Bennett said, "I don't want this program to be elitist."
Hubbard explained that the students could pay the fees by spreading out the payments, and that the team also conducts fundraisers — revenue from concession stands, sale of spirit cups, popcorn buckets — to help defray costs.
"This is dependent on the student coming to me or to the superintendent to set up a payment plan."
The fees cover the costs of a student's attending cheerleader camp and the uniforms.
"I'm willing to work with them as much as we can," Hubbard said.
Bennett noted the lack of a scholarship system to help pay cheerleader expenses.
Hubbard explained that the STISD fees were "well below what other districts charge," citing costs that ranged from Taft Junior High School's $700 to Odem High School's fee of $1,100.
"I feel that we are keeping the costs down as much as possible," Hubbard said.
"Why do we charge for cheerleading but not for sports?" Bennett continued.
"If we are going to pay for everything they need and want, then we have to open it (cheerleading) up to anyone being a cheerleader," Hubbard said. "We would have to cover the costs for maybe 60 people wanting to be cheerleaders."
Such a provision, she said, would mean the school's having to maintain stock uniforms, used in rotation, which would mean each cheerleader's uniform no longer would be personally tailored.
"If we had a pep rally," Superintendent Dr. Brett Belmarez said, "we might have 50, 60 cheerleaders on the sideline. The reasons behind the privileged nature of it, and the (fees) and the privilege is to have that exclusivity."
How exclusive?
Last year, Hubbard said, 30 students applied to be cheerleaders. That number was pared to 19 for junior high; 17 for high school. The top 10 then are chosen for junior high; the top 12 for senior high.
"My issue with the whole thing is that there's nothing in writing in the handbook that explains there are methods to pay for it," Bennett said. "So, from the very beginning, those who can't afford it don't go any further. It becomes a class thing.
Belmarez told the board that, in the future, cheerleading could become a UIL-sanctioned sport, which would obligate STISD to treat cheerleader candidates equally, even though membership currently is predominantly female.
Because board policy indicates that operation of the cheerleader program is the responsibility of the STISD administration, rather than the trustees, the board only could recommend the handbook be changed to reflect the availability of installment plans and fundraising projects to finance the cost.
Hubbard also said the team could organize additional fundraisers, if necessary, to help pay the fees or anyone picked for the cheerleading team.
"I just don't want the fee to exclude some students who can't afford it," Bennett said.

Re: What kind of oil?
Personally I prefer Canola oil. The chips tastes better than when fried in sunflower oil and according to the label its lower in cholesterol too!
According to a book I read (The wrinkle free zone) sunflower oil is prossessed by our boddies into a harmful product that causes free radicals which in turn causes pre-mature ageing and wrinkles. The author says canola oil is better for your body.
Then again not everyone are health freeks like me...

Re: What kind of oil?
I've always found Sunflower oil or Peanut oil (as long as you dont have a nut allergy) has been excellent and always crisps them. I tend not to eat many chips as I have high cholesterol (not that you'd know looking at me)!! My kids always loved my chips with a little salt but lashings of vinegar

Re: What kind of oil?
Bit of a trick i picked up from watching Alton brown.
When it comes time to change the oil in you deep fat fryer, always put a bit of the old oil back in with the new. There is chemical change in the oil that takes place over time which is why fries taste better made in oil that has been used a few times. A bit of the old oil will jumpstart that process and keep your fries tasting yummy.
as for what oil to use.. I know a few ppl that swear by canola , others prefer Sunflower. If i could Afford it i would love to use Grapeseed, but that would be a bit pricey.
And as far as deep frying with Olive oil. I know many italians that only use olive oil for deep frying . As long as you are carefull with temperature control it can be used with amazing results.
Personally my fryer has Canola oil in it and it works very well.. Good neutral oil with high smoke point.

Re: What kind of oil?
I had to look up Canola oil - its not something we see in the UK.
Seems it genetically engineered rapeseed oil!

Re: What kind of oil?
not quite Geoffp.. it was developed through a breeding program not through genetic splicing.. Basically it was genetically engineered like our parents engineered us
It is true that the resulting canola plants were then enginereed to be tolerant to certain herbicides that are used to lower the amount of chemical weed control needed.
read the fourth question and answer on the following link to get the full explaination.
