New Ace Saves The Day
On Saturday night, the Padres dropped a miserable game to the Oakland A's. We had the lead a few times, but Oakland took that game 6-3. Needless to say, I was not happy. My Padres needed a win and a series, but the A's took that from us.
Our biggest gripe about the Padres in the last week or so has been the starting pitching. It's been terrible! The starters aren't going that deep into ballgames, and they are giving up way to many runs.
Yesterday, on Father's Day, the Padres went out there and got a superb pitching performance from our new ace, Kevin Correia. He was amazing. He had a no-hitter going until the fifth inning with two outs. He was so good!!
He only allowed one run, that coming in the top of the seventh. He threw 6.2 innings total, with one walk allowed and seven strikeouts. He's our new ace, there's no doubt about it. He's pitched the best of any of the guy who have started for us this year. Yeah Kevin!!
Not like he needed it, but Correia's offense backed him up pretty well. Edgar Gonzalez had an RBI double to drive in Kyle Blanks, who had walked, in th second.
In the fifth, we got our second run on Henry Blanco's 500th hit, a solo homer. Way to go Henry!!
And in the eighth, we got two more insurance runs.
But we have to go back to Saturday's game first.
I was sitting there at the computer, watching Gameday on Saturday night. I think we were losing by a few by then, and I was not happy. Kouz was batting, so I called a homer. He struck out, in fact, Oakland struck out the side that inning. But I still called a homer, so I was waiting for it.
Guess what?
Yep, he hit one for me yesterday!
It was just what we needed. Then Heath took the ninth with a three-run lead and went 1-2-3 to get his 19th save in 20 chances. Take that, Trevor!!
Man, it was a great, great game. Tony Gwynn had two hits, David Eckstein had three, Kouz had one. We were good. The pitching took care of it.
We also had some great defense. Kyle Blanks just came up, and he's been playing the outfield for about three months. THREE MONTHS!!!! And not even every day. But the Padres want this guy up here, and so he's in the outfield. It's just amazing to me. Anyways, he made an amazing catch in left field in the first inning, barrelling into the wall. I hope the wall's OK. This guy is six-foot-six, and he's 285 pounds!! The "S.S. Blanks," we like to call him. He's huge. He got his first walk yesterday and his first run scored. Still has to get that first major league hit, though…
I am so glad we took the last game. It would not have been good if we had been swept. Not good at all.
Well, we've got an off-day before facing the Mariners again, this time in Seattle. Oh joy. Maybe we can take two out of three from them like they took two out of three from us!! Or…maybe even three out of three! Point is, these Padres need a series win. They need to get out there, pitch extremely well, and hit like crazy. We're 14.5 games behind, man, and we need to get it going.
Don't forget, I've got a huge special entry tomorrow. It's going to be amazing. So make sure to stop by tomorrow!!

Looking forward to your special entry. In the meantime, I continue to think those sand colored uniforms are not attractive!
Actually, these are the camo uniforms that they wear on Sundays to honor the military. These are kind of ugly, but it's the sand that are the worst!!
I actually like camo uniforms. They're awesome. Kevin Correia has been just amazing. He's getting better and better everyday. Kouz is doing a great job and I like seeing Kyle Blanks play more. We need more wins during final six games of interleague series!! I can't wait for the special entry🙂
Starting pitching is one of the biggest keys to a game. If your starters can't go deep into games, they are leaving the bullpen under the bus.
LOL S.S. Blanks! That's Funny! We really need this series against the Mariners, it's a key one.
Go Padres!!!
HYUN YOUNG, we need a lot more wins, and Kouz has been amazing!!
DILLON, as Jerry Coleman says, "If you don't have good pitching, you don't win."
MATT, doesn't really go with the Padres colors, but it works to honor the military.
JUILA, I do too🙂
TGWYNNS1819 (love the username by the way), Yep, the S.S. Blanks. They had to pull him into the harbor to bring him in. LOL.
I like your new profile pic!
Getting swept is no fun, I agree. I hope you guys can beat up on the Mariners!

Jay-Z is Full of Crap
As I tend to be regarding to the great game of baseball, when it comes to hip-hop, I remain firmly in the purist camp.
This is exactly why I didn't want to like Jay-Z's new album, The Blueprint 3. As the resident Brett Favre of the rap game, Jay-Z has taunted us with his multiple "retirements", all along gradually stepping away from his street-centric roots and engaging in the bling-bling-I-got-hoes-money-and-fame garbage that has destroyed my ability to find any entertainment value in modern hip-hop.
But Alicia Keys sucked me; and as much as I hate to admit it: Empire State of Mind is a killer track.
Still, there is one Jay-Z line that makes me cringe with disgust:
s*** I made the Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can…"
Ever heard of a fella by the name of Babe Ruth? How about DiMaggio? Gehrig? Mantle? Mattingly? Jeter?
I know Jay-Z is a lot like me in that sometimes he says dumb s*** just to say it, to see what kind of reaction he gets, to be relevant, to stir up trouble.
But even I have limitations… and dissing some of the greatest players to ever play the game is certainly among them.
Shame on you, Jay-Z.
And unless you can find a way to put Alicia Keys on every song you ever do from now until the end of time, you won't be getting my money ever again.
Hate me 'cuz I gotz some street cred of my own, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

I'm with Jonestein… WTF when did she do that and why weren't there pics and a blog post about it….:-)
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Next thing you know, Jay-Z will say Empire state of mind will be bigger than Sinatra's "New York, New York"
…and for the record, I'm envious of Jeff, not Alicia…"not that there's anything wrong with that." LOL
(Yeah, you just thought you were gonna get that semantic alley-oop slam, didn't ya?)
Jonestein — Way to go… ruin my semantic fun for the day. I wish she sucked me… but nah, she sucked me IN. Totally different. No happy ending.
Peter — Believe me, if it were that way there'd be pics and lots of blogging/bragging about it.
The Freak — Best commentor name I've ever seen. Nice work. Seen you over at Jane's. If Jay-Z ever said something that outlandish you can bet someone will punish him. If only Tupac were still alive…
Am I the only person who thinks "Empire State of Mind" is a horrible, cheesy, idiotic song? It's just Jay-Z citing tourist traps and a bunch of other places in the city, name-dropping as usual, and Alicia Keys singing 2 lines about how there's "nothing you cant do everything is brand new" uh, excuse me they must ride the bus all the times because the subways and cabs and sidewalks are not new, they're all covered in gum and grime. and there aren't bright lights everywhere all the time–it's really hard to believe they're natives. I have never heard a song that says anything about New York other than it's a tourist trap and all that "city of dreams" crap.
That said, your points are pretty valid. That whole rapper-cliche thing is way too old and of course he got way too into it. It's just part of the fame monster, I guess. That and the provocation-of-indignation.
Cici, you nailed it! I actually like the song from a musical point of view. It has nice builds, a good bridge, and the chorus is catchy and full of round sound… right in the middle of Keys' range. New York can be a tourist trap, but I have a hard time not liking the place. It's got everything! I wouldn't want to live there unless I were rich, but you get what I'm sayin'.
I play in a cover band that actually does this friggin song. YES IT SUCKS! But New Yorkers are proud people. So if it mentions those words (NY) in it, they are going to love it.
Good read Jeff – I'll be back again soon.
Now I gotta see if my pal Jonesy wrote anything in the land Texas.
~Mike (the freak)
Mike (the Freak) — I'd like to hear that version of it, LOL. Yeah, I get it. NYers love it. It's cool. I can handle it. And you bet, Jonesy knows how to bring it… see ya over there probably!
The song is so repetitive but when Alicia does her thing I always get chills. Her voice is incredible. As for Jay-Z's lyric in there about the cap, it's like Pedro Martinez telling the media he may be the most significant/important/I forget which adjective he used person to ever play in NY. I'm like, "Hello? Babe Ruth et al?"
Jane — Right on. If he weren't a pitcher, I bet Pedro would make a good rapper, talkin' all that smack that he does. LOL!
No need to preach to the converted: I can't stand "Empire State Of Mind". It sounds like he was commissioned by the New York Tourist Authority to provide a jingle for the out-of-towners like me. I prefer D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune) and all his other acronym-type hits.
I'm not sure why Jay-Z seems fit to comment on baseball and basketball – why can't he give props to the Rangers as well (I know, the Giants/Jets play in New Jersey)? They play in his town and have won a Cup – albeit 15 years ago. I guess hockey's not too hip-hop.
By the way, congrats on being #2 in blog traffic for November!
It's the inevitable evolution from crack lord to the establishment. Next he'll be a Republican.
Jonah — Thanks, man. Apparently Jay-Z needs to be introduced to the mighty combo of Mark Messier and Mike Richter!
Prince — And fine good one too, I imagine!
Mike, not all NYers love it. I was discussing it with my friend the other day and we both agree it's stupid. Maybe the rich New Yorkers (e g people who go to Columbia and think they should take over the world, or people who live in Williamsburg or the Upper West Side) think it's super great but…
Jeff, New York doesn't have true convenience. In order for things to be convenient, you have to live less than 2 blocks away from a subway station and be rich enough to buy what you need no matter what neighborhood you're in. But other than that, it does have pretty much everything.
Point taken, Cici. Still, if it's 3 a.m. and you crave authentic Lithuanian food, somewhere in Manhattan you can get that. Same goes for anything else you might want/need/desire…. except for a championship ring in Queens😉

My 16 mo (EBF) DS will not eat solid foods....ever. We've been offering BLS style since around 6 mo. He use to gag and throw them up if it got in his mouth, now he just flat out refuses everything. He will drink water but not juice, milk etc. We've literally offered every type/texture of food that is out there. The GP has got us going to a speech therapist for the past 4 months with no improvement (at all). We've also seen a GI specialist who wants to do a crazy invasive procedure...an upper GI endoscopy with esophogeal biopsies and pancreatic stimulus test (which we are not having done) We also are suppose to be getting an evaluation done at a feeding clinic at a local childrens hosp but the waiting list is 6+months for an appt. DS nurses ALL. THE. TIME. Every 1-2 hrs and every 3-4 at night just like a newborn and I work part-time so pumping enough milk is so stressful. My gut feeling is just that he will start eating one day and thats it....but I also don't want something to be medically wrong with him that we aren't treating. My other worry is subjecting him to all this medical testing and NOT getting any answers and making it worse.
Anyone been through this....or have any advice??

Found what I believe to be the build sheet, it was above the gas tank.
Paul, no sign of the build sheet until I dropped the tank. Very glad I did as it is extremely fragile. Mine was on the drivers side of the tank. This car was built in Van Nuys and I am the 2nd owner so my chances were good.
Who is the best company to buy original parts from?

Afternooon Game Ends Pretty Lame
4/28/10 ROCKIES vs D-BACKS Game 3
This was an afternoon game and the final game of a tied series.
I didn't pre-purchase tickets to this game. I'm off on Wednesdays and when I woke up I opened the curtains, looked outside and the sky was solid blue.
You get what you get with April baseball in Colorado. Evenings are cold and afternoons can be snowy, windy and raining all in one day. Today was warm, I didn't have a whole lot on my list of things to do so Krista said "go for it".
Going to a baseball game unplanned is a new concept to me. I usually know way in advance what games I'm going to and I like it that way. Today I left a half hour before the game started, parked for free, walked up to the empty Rockies ticket window, purchased a Rockpile ticket for four bucks and proceeded to enter Coors Field..
No backpack today, just my camera and my glove.
Inside I discovered the first pitch had just been tossed and it was game-on. I settled on the third base side two sections to the left of the netting behind home plate. Great place to take pictures.
No waiting in line, no standing for two full hours during batting practice. Just park, ticket, seat.
Don't get me wrong, I love my batting practice, this was a nice change.
Here's my Picture Show
Olivo scores.
First time I've personally seen Banner Jack this season.
Here's video of Tulo in the third inning with the bases loaded down 6-1.
There's one in every stadium I'm sure. I call this "Dancing Finger Guy"
Helton hits a double.
Then Helton slides into third..Yeah!
OK, technically it's right after the game, and it's not exactly inside Coors Field. It was however located on the property.
The game was tied in the 9th. In the 10th inning Kelly Johnson homered to center field to lead the D-Backs to a 12-11 win.
The only thing I hate worse than losing to the D-Backs at home is losing 2 out of 3 to the D-Backs at home.
On a much more pleasing note:
Here are pictures of my grandson Mason playing T-Ball.
He likes the Rockies but his local team is the Sacramento Rivercats.

As usual, some great photo work.
I might have to come out to Denver for a personal lesson on how to shoot some great photos.
But then again, I think my camera sometimes seems to have been produced in the Bronze Age, but it is digital…So I got that going for me.
I have done the "walk-up" routine a few times with the local Class-A Phillies team in Clearwater, Florida when the Rays are out of town or on the West Coast since those games do not start until 10-ish at night.
Always surprises me what tickets are sometimes left, or that a certain promo seems to make its way into my hot little hand (Once got a Drew Carey bobble head).
Love the "crack" photo, but I guess that is so much better than a plumber or some 300 lb guy stooping down for change, or a baseball on the ground.
Awesome as usual.
Rays Renegade
Hey D,
Awesome Grandson man.
Dang can that Chacin pitch! I was a little worried being as he's just up from the minors but he handled himself well. It's a relief with DLR being on the DL.
I know what you mean about not getting to the park before the gates open. I'm tempted from time to time but the lure of standing along the 1st base wall trying to get autographs is just to strong.
RAYSREN-Always an honor my friend to read your comments. I always feel smarter after having read them and I appreciate the visit. I'd love to see an entry from you in the Pitch Your Team Contest? I know you've got some connections and could blow us away. Drew Carey bobblehead…lol
R-LUV-You've got to love a pitcher with the nick-name "Cha-Ching. He did great. Heal up Rockies pitchers…please…D

I understand and the more I watch games the more this is coming obvious to me. However, when you have an attacking scrum, similar to the one we saw in the Wigan/Saints game when Pryce, I think, attacked immediately on the first play and scored, the defending 6 would normally defend against the first receiver and his position on the field would reflect that, right?
Is defence, therefore, an overlooked aspect of the 6's game? Although the 6 and the 7 are, to all intents and purposes, very similar-type players, when it comes to defending from a scrum, the 6's defensive attributes would have to come to the fore surely. If there is a difference between these two almost-exact-type players, would it be fair to say that the 6 is usually a better defender? Or is this wrong and unfair to scrum-halfs! It's just that I've noticed that the scrum-half tends to tackle less than the stand-off during a game. Is this a general trend or have I got it wrong?
Posted 23 June 2010 - 09:14 AM
Many teams play a Left+Right policy whereby 6 and 7 hold either the left or right side of the field and and hence are first or second reciever dependent upon the side of the field the ball is being moved from. It also means that they are nearer their "home" in the defensive line.
Its made for the traditional 6/7 roles to become a tad diluted.
The post about Briers is a good one- he's as near to an old school 6 as we've got- in that he floats across the field, looking for an opening or a tired/ out of position opposition player to exploit with a good attacking option.
Lockyer plays in a similar way as a 6. Andy Farrell did it too from 13/6 and Prop! Stay Jones played in a similar way as 7- which complicates matters.
The thinker/ schemer/ plotter should be accomodated regardless of whether he is 6/7/13 and allowed to hold the reins as the main man IMO. The players in the team will recognise that too and allow them to.
Posted 23 June 2010 - 09:39 AM
Certainly at Warrington Myler will control the short passing game close to the ruck, and Briers will generally come in at 2nd receiver on the wide plays.
At Wigan, you often see Tomkins (or O'Loughlin) as the 2nd receiver out wide.
During the England game when Tomkins was playing 7, it was much more obvious that he was taking the ball first up and he was more involved in controlling the play than he sometimes is at Wigan.

Pace, speed - as well as the guile. What a stand-off! Backing himself to run with the ball on the last play.

Lucienne M. Benoit
BARRE CITY Lucienne M. Benoit, 98, formerly of Brook Street, passed away Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2013, at the Woodridge Nursing Home in Berlin.
Born in Websterville, Vt., on Dec. 29, 1914, she was the daughter of the late Damase and Albertine (Groleau) Martineau. Lucienne attended Holy Ghost Convent in Graniteville, and St. Michaels High School in Montpelier.
After her schooling she helped her parents in the operation of their boarding house.
In 1939, she married Adelard Benoit in St. Sylvester Catholic Church in Graniteville.
After their marriage, they made their home in Orange, Vt., where they owned and operated a dairy farm. In 1951, they moved to Barre City where they made their home and raised their family. Lucienne was predeceased by her husband in 1963.
In 1963, Lucienne was employed at National Life Insurance Co. in the cafeteria department, and later was the manager of the cafeteria department at St. Monica Catholic School in Barre, until her retirement. She was also a caregiver for the elderly, for many years.
Her memberships included St. Monica Catholic Church in Barre, where she served as Eucharistic Minister for many years; Ladies of St. Anne Society, where she served as president; and the Catholic Daughters of the Americas, Court St. Monica #1181.
Lucienne enjoyed spending precious time with her family and friends.
Survivors include seven children: Adelard Benoit and his wife, Judy of East Barre; Jeanne Hefner and her husband, William of Saratoga Springs, N.Y.; Robert Benoit and his wife, Rita of Barre Town; John Benoit and his wife, Barbara of So. Burlington, Vt.; Raymond Benoit and his wife, Valerie of Fairfax, Vt.; Francis Benoit and his wife, Laura of Burlington, Vt.; and Edmond Benoit and his wife, Jane of South Barre, Vt. She is also survived by 21 grandchildren and 29 great-grandchildren; and one brother, Albert Martineau of St. Petersburg, Fla. The family would like to acknowledge and thank Colleen Kelley of Barre; she was a very special friend to Lucienne.
She was predeceased by two brothers, Edgide Martineau and Eugene Martineau, and one infant sister, Annette Martineau.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Saturday, Sept. 28, 2013, at noon in St. Monica Catholic Church in Barre. Family and friends may call at the Pruneau-Polli Funeral Home in Barre, on Friday, Sept. 27, from 7 to 9 p.m. Extra parking is available in St. Monicas parking lot.
Burial will follow the Mass at St. Sylvester Cemetery in Lower Websterville, Vt.

On 16 September 2014 Mike Licona had to take action on his website that is so minuscule it speaks to the voluminous aggression towards him. What happened? Licona removed public calendar.
(For a brief excursus and history of The Geisler Controversy please visit the directory.)
That's not typically a big deal. I don't even have a public calendar (but then again, I don't need to have one). However, what's so remarkable is the cause for Licona to do this. I hope you've had your coffee for the day and you're in a good mood because the reason it was removed may have you a bit… frustrated. On Licona's website he posted this explanation along with his private email he sent directly to Geisler.

A blog about my journey with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome including HHV 6, EBV, C. Pneumonia, Bartonella, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, and Biotoxin Illness
Friday, March 20, 2009
Taken Down a Notch
The past couple days I feel like my body has down shifted into first gear. I'm fatigued and kind of weak. My muscles, especially my back, are incredibly achey. Surprisingly so. I also feel a sort of apathy. The apathy feels almost protective, as if its a way to conserve energy.
At the same time, I've having more trouble sleeping. I've read these are all sort of typical experiences of Valcyte. They are listed as side effects but could also be signs the Valcyte is working.
Lately I've been thinking about how this illness really forces one to redefine oneself on every level. For me it's a slow process because first I had to get out of denial about how serious this is. While I know it at one level, on another level I like to tell myself stories that maybe I can fix this somehow. I do believe I can make myself "weller" but I don't think this is curable. I still remember the sense of relief I felt when the rheumatologist said "what you have is viral" (I thought-oh, good because that means it will go away), "that is very serious and can be very debilitating and is called something like chronic fatigue although that is a horrible name for this (it still didn't sink in because I thought 'oh good it's chronic fatigue-easy to fix with some rest'). He could tell I didn't get it so he continued "it's like HIV but it's not or Hepatitis C but it's not" (I felt puzzled at this point thinking 'but those are serious illness/diseases'). On another level I knew though because I asked him what my quality of life would be like. That's when the room became very still and he looked right into my eyes and said quietly, "I don't know." That's when a wave of anxiety and fear washed over me.
If I get the energy I might go through the various sites I visit and write down all the tips people have written about being on Valcyte. That's something that would have been really helpful to me. My experience so far is that it's been both not anywhere near as bad as I expected but at the same time worse that what I thought.

Hi, I am new to your blog; there is a ton of good info to read, so it will take time for me to go through it.
I have Lyme, HHV-6, EBV, and Mycoplasm Pnuemonia. My symptoms are almost exactly like yours, dizziness, fatigue, cognitive dysfunction. From what you have read I have tried a lot of the supplements and other stuff you are on. I am currently on IV rocephin to treat Lyme and famvir to treat the HHV-6 along with tons of supplements.
I just started famvir and it seems to be hitting hard. I am interested in valcyte but I have heard it can kill your liver. Have you checked your liver function on the drug?
I see that you had Lyme too, have you finished your lyme treatment?
Hang in,

I am sorry you are having so much difficulty right now. You have persevered for a long time on V. with a variety of symptoms to add to your CFIDS. You have great courage, T. You remain in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm sorry to hear you're still struggling so much, Terri, but you know, that's probably a good sign that Valcyte is going to help you. I remember reading about Montoya's original trial with Valcyte and that some of the patients had very severe, long-lasting herxes - some up to 6 months or more - before they began to improve.
You know, if you have a really bad day, it's OK - some doctors even think advisable - to skip a dose to give your body a break from the herx.
I read your theory about apathy being your body's way of protecting you - my husband often theorizes something similar - that a CFS crash is the body's way of forcing you to lie down and rest because you need it. There are several CFS specialists who agree. I know just what you mean about that feeling of apathy - that hits me, too, when I crash or herx.
Sorry this has been so difficult for you, but just remember that your bad herx probably means you will eventually improve. I can tell you from my own experience that even a 10% improvement makes a huge difference in quality of life.
Hang in there - you're not alone -

Hi Luke-
Welcome to my blog. I'm glad you left a comment. It sounds like we share many of the same symptoms. How long have you been sick?
I finished lyme treatment last summer. It helped with join pain and the weird dizziness I used to have but it didn't touch the fatigue or cognitive functioning.
It sounds like you are doing some intense treatment! It's good that you are treating the viral aspect of this stuff. Many LLMD's aren't interested in the viruses or mistakenly think that treating lyme will allow the body to eliminate the viruses on its own. In a majority of cases that might be true but a lot of people are struggling with undiagnosed and untreated viruses.
I'm hoping the lyme will stay dormant.
Valcyte can be tough on the liver and also suppress bone marrow production which is why anyone on Valcyte needs to be monitored closely. The first month I had weekly blood labs drawn (CBC and CMP). Now I go every other week. So far so good.
I hope you check in again!

Hi Renee-
It's always so good to hear from you. I just feel more calm about things.
Things have been tough but hopefully I'm finding some acceptance about everything which in the long run will make everything easier.

Hi Sue-
Thanks so much for sharing your wisdome and experience. I was hoping my doctor would tell me it was good I was having these experiences but for some reason he didn't know what it all meant.
It's really good to hear about even 10% having a big impact on one's life. I have to remember that.

I just got back from our 1 year check up with DD's pediatrician. He freaked out on me about being so conservative about introducing solid foods. So far DD has some experience playing with (but not really eating): bananas, chewing on a whole apple and shredding little bits of lettuce.
Her iron levels are great. Her weight is great. She is walking and saying her first words. She breastfeeds day and night. We are both happy with the arrangement. We offer food to to her once a day but she doesn't really want it. It is more like playtime. My husband tried to offer her a spoonful of banana and she refused to be fed so we don't force it. We are much more comfortable allowing her to discover food at her pace and work out getting it into her own mouth.
My pediatrician's concern is that she needs more practice swallowing and that he wants me to start HEAVILY introducing more food. He wants to see her eating more food within the month and has scheduled a followup appointment to monitor our progress.
This feels wrong to me, but this is my first kid and I'm still unsure of putting her at risk for malnourishment. We are gradually increasing the variety of foods and I'm making it a point to let her explore food at least once a day. But our pediatrician was alarmed and is putting us through food bootcamp.
So ladies ... I would appreciate your honesty. I am about 50/50 on my pediatrician's advice and want to find a new one as it is. But in the meantime if anyone has any input on this situation your information is most welcome.
Thanks for your help!

If successful, proceeds from the bond will be used to construct a new field house, new softball/baseball field complex, three new tennis courts for school and public use, new homes to serve as rental properties for district employees, and renovations to the Student Activity Center, explained Three Rivers ISD Superintendent Kenneth Rohrbach.
Hiring employees has been a challenge for the district due to a lack of affordable rental properties in the district, and the district currently has three mobile homes that are rented to staff, he said.
"It is exciting that the district is able to complete the building projects that are included in the master plan without any increase in the tax rate," Rohrbach said. "This is possible due to the rapid growth in mineral values in the school district."
Board members will schedule two public meetings to discuss the proposed bond. With the construction of a new junior-senior high school and a new elementary school, the district has completely replaced all instructional facilities with building that will serve the district well into the future, reports show.
It should be noted that the board spent a great includes the facilities that are part of this bond package, Board President David Saenz said.
"The board firmly believes that replacement of the remaining facilities and construction of rental homes is in the best interest of this community and students," Saenz said. "The fact that we can do this without an increase in the tax rate is incredible."
Meanwhile, in a separate action, the board also recently voted to retire $810,000 in debt 18 years early.
When the Three Rivers ISD passed a bond in 2012 to build a new elementary school, the board voted to put the 20-year bonds on a three-year call, Rohrbach said. (Bonds are normally placed on seven or 10-year call.)
The three-year call was put in place due to the rising mineral values in the district, Rohrbach said.
By doing this, the board would have the option in 2014 of calling the bonds and begin paying off principal early. The tax rate that the district collected for bond payments for 2013-2014 was $0.1066 per $100 valuation.
At current values, the tax rate needed to make bond payments for 2014-2015 is $0.07598 per $100 valuation. With the ability to call the bonds this year, the board had the option to leave the tax rate at $0.1066 and apply the excess collections to paying off principal early, reports show.
Doing so would retire $810,000 of the debt that would mature in 2032, saving approximately $442,379 in interest payments over the life of the bonds.
On July 29, 2014, the board passed a resolution which called the series 2012 bonds and redeems $810,000 in debt.
"In voting to pay off a portion the debt early, the board is saving taxpayers almost half a million dollars in interest payments over the life of the bonds, without raising the tax rate for debt service," the superintendent said. "If mineral values continue to increase, it will be possible to pay off the bonds much earlier than the 20 years for which they were financed, potentially saving millions of dollars in interest."

Linkage of Gut Microbiome with Cognition in Hepatic Encephalopathy
Bajaj JS, Ridlon JM, Hylemon PB, Thacker LR, Heuman DM, Smith S, Sikaroodi M, Gillevet PM. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol. 2011 Sep 22. [Epub ahead of print]
Source 1Virginia Commonwealth University and McGuire VAMC.
Background/aims: Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) has been related to gut bacteria and inflammation in the setting of intestinal barrier dysfunction. We proposed to link the gut microbiome with cognition and inflammation in HE using a systems biology approach.
Methods: Multi-tag pyrosequencing(MTPS) was performed on stool of cirrhotics and age-matched controls. Cirrhotics with/without HE underwent cognitive testing, inflammatory cytokines, and endotoxin analysis. HE patients were compared to those without HE using a correlation network analysis. A select group of HE patients (n=7) on lactulose underwent stool MTPS before and after lactulose withdrawal over 14 days.
Results: 25 patients [17 HE (all on lactulose, 6 also on rifaximin) and 8 no HE, age 56±6 years, MELD 16±6] and 10 controls were included. Fecal microbiota in cirrhotics were significantly different (higher Enterobacteriaceae, Alcaligeneceae, Fusobacteriaceae and lower Ruminococcaceae and Lachnospiraceae) compared to controls. We found altered flora (higher Veillonellaceae), poor cognition, endotoxemia and inflammation (IL-6, TNF-α, IL-2 and IL-13) in HE compared to cirrhotics without HE. In the cirrhosis group, Alcaligeneceae and Porphyromonadaceae were positively correlated with cognitive impairment. Fusobacteriaceae, Veillonellaceae and Enterobacteriaceae were positively and Ruminococcaceae negatively related to inflammation. Network analysis comparison showed robust correlations(all p<1E-5) only in the HE group between the microbiome, cognition and IL-23, IL-2 and IL-13. Lactulose withdrawal did not change the microbiome significantly beyond Fecalibacterium reduction.
Conclusions: Cirrhosis, especially when complicated with HE, is associated with significant alterations in the stool microbiome compared to healthy individuals. Specific bacterial families (Alcaligeneceae, Porphyromonadaceae, Enterobacteriaceae) are strongly associated with cognition and inflammation in HE.

This week has brought some new adventures and possibilities. I have previously noted that I had found a treasure trove in the online Chronicles of Bentley. This week I received my very own copy of Bentley and District Early History. The third paragraph of the book starts with the words
"In 1899, Major Wm. B. McPherson, a veteran of the American Civil war,
and his sons, filed on land in ... the present site of Bentley..."In fact, most of the first page tells about my great-grandfather's brother, Wm. B. McPherson and his sons. Then paging on through the book, I find pictures of cousin James Percy and his niece Vera in the 1911-12 Amateur Dramatic Society, the McPherson 1913 Creamery, family picnics, McPherson sawmills and crews, and, possibly my favorite, a picture of Stena and Vera McPherson (wife and daughter of Wm. M. McPherson) having a cup of tea in front of their log cabin (1905 vintage). I will be happily perusing these stories and pictures again and again.
This week also brought a change in direction in the Uncle Ralph's letters project. A long time family friend who has just retired has offered to help my sis and I finish up the project. She has the skills and ability to take this ponderous mass of letters and shape it into book form. This project has been weighing on me because my skill set would only allow me to plunk it into "sort of a book form" but not really what I had envisioned. So my sis and I are going to focus on the final edit of the letters, and our friend will take it from there --- and I trust her implicitly. What a wonderful world.
Last week's writing and blogging resulted the COG entry of the Discovering the Diary, a Sunday Synopsis, and a Sadie Hawkins Day Dance memory (about 1500 wpw). For this week, I am working on the introduction to the Uncle Ralph's letters, the 8th of the Jabezes series, a Ranch years piece for crit group on Tuesday, and hopefully another Sharing Memories piece. I do love these days that usher in the cool crispness of fall -- clears and energizes the brain and body.

I'm looking for some much needed help and advice. My daughter is 8 1/2 months and is still getting up at least once sometimes twice during the night. Sometimes she goes back down after I nurse her and sometimes she doesn't and just chatters in her crib for up to an hour or more. I'm exausted and so is my husband.
Last night we put her down at the usual time - 730p. She woke up at 315a and after I nursed her, she was up chatting in her crib (babbling and sometimes light crying) until 515a!! My toddler is up at 6a to use the potty and then up for the day shortly after that. So I can not survive the day having been up since 3a.
Should I not be going in there at all to feed her? Do you think that will help? If so ... am I supposed to just let her cry? And for how long?

25 U.S. Code § 477 - Incorporation of Indian tribes; charter; ratification by election
The Secretary of the Interior may, upon petition by any tribe, issue a charter of incorporation to such tribe: Provided, That such charter shall not become operative until ratified by the governing body of such tribe. Such charter may convey to the incorporated tribe the power to purchase, take by gift, or bequest, or otherwise, own, hold, manage, operate, and dispose of property of every description, real and personal, including the power to purchase restricted Indian lands and to issue in exchange therefor interests in corporate property, and such further powers as may be incidental to the conduct of corporate business, not inconsistent with law; but no authority shall be granted to sell, mortgage, or lease for a period exceeding twenty-five years any trust or restricted lands included in the limits of the reservation. Any charter so issued shall not be revoked or surrendered except by Act of Congress.
1990—Pub. L. 101–301 substituted "by any tribe" for "by at least one-third of the adult Indians", "by the governing body of such tribe" for "at a special election by a majority vote of the adult Indians living on the reservation", and "twenty-five years any trust or restricted lands" for "ten years any of the land".

State Rep. Jack Franks issued the following news release on Monday.
SPRINGFIELD – Advancing his efforts to streamline government and improve statewide violence prevention programming, state Representative Jack Franks (D-Marengo) passed a pair of measures in the final days of the 97th General Assembly focused on both issues.
"Our efforts today address two critical challenges facing state government – violence prevention and governmental waste," said Franks. "Taking action not only improves our statewide response to community and school violence, but saves hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars at the same time."
An initiative of the Illinois Attorney General's office, House Bill 3816 eliminates government waste and redundancy by consolidating the Illinois Violence Prevention Authority (IVPA) into the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA). The ICJIA is a state agency dedicated to improving the administration of criminal justice -- bringing together key leaders from the justice system and the public to identify critical issues facing the criminal justice system in Illinois, and to propose and evaluate policies, programs, and legislation that address those issues.
"As legislators, we have a duty to be fierce stewards of taxpayer dollars," Franks continued. "With that mindset, we must continue to develop cost-efficient, proactive ways to protect Illinois residents and advocate for victims of violence."
The reorganization is projected to save more than $250,000 per year by streamlining current responsibilities. The action also creates a new 'Violence Protection Section' within the ICJIA, a group charged with coordinating violence prevention efforts and developing a statewide plan that includes public health and public safety approaches to preventing violence in families, communities and schools.
Franks also passed House Bill 3804, a wide-ranging reform aimed at cleaning up and updating the Illinois criminal code.

- Abstract
- Understanding the complexities of distress and knowing who is most vulnerable is foundational to the provision of quality, palliative end-of-life care. Although prior studies have examined the prevalence of symptom distress among patients nearing death, these studies have tended to largely focus on physical and, to a lesser extent, psychological challenges. The aim of this study was to use the Patient Dignity Inventory (PDI), a novel, reliable, and validated measure of end-of-life distress, to describe a broad landscape of distress in patients who are terminally ill. The PDI, a 25-item self-report, was administered to 253 patients receiving palliative care. Each PDI item is rated by patients to indicate the degree to which they experience various kinds of end-of-life distress. Palliative care patients reported an average of 5.74 problems (standard deviation, 5.49; range, 0-24), including physical, psychological, existential, and spiritual challenges. Being an inpatient, being educated, and having a partner were associated with certain kinds of end-of-life problems, particularly existential distress. Spirituality, especially its existential or "sense of meaning and purpose" dimension, was associated with less distress for terminally ill patients. A better appreciation for the nature of distress is a critical step toward a fuller understanding of the challenges facing the terminally ill. A clear articulation of the landscape of distress, including insight regarding those who are most at risk, should pave the way toward more effective, dignity-conserving end-of-life care.

Obama Establishes White House Council on Native American Affairs
President Barack Obama today, June 26, released an executive order that establishes the White House Council on Native American Affairs.
The Order recognizes a government-to-government relationship, a legal, and political relationship with federally recognized tribes. In the Order, Obama addresses the need to work together for a brighter future, while remembering the history of mistreatment and destructive policies that hurt tribal communities.
"This order establishes a national policy to ensure that the Federal Government engages in a true and lasting government-to-government relationship with federally recognized tribes in a more coordinated and effective manner, including by better carrying out its trust responsibilities," Obama said in the Order.

Police say they pulled over Robert Dupree in The Colony, Texas for failing to signal.
However, when they ran Dupree's license plate, they discovered that he owed more than $56,000 in unpaid tolls.
The North Texas Tollway Authority says there is no way that this is a mistake.
"We're talking about someone who would have gotten a number of invoices; he has more than 2,000 tolls," says NTTA spokesman Michael Rey. "It would appear that he's the type of person who just decides that they are not going to pay any tolls."
Dupree is reportedly among the NTTA's worst offenders.
"He`s a lot closer to the top than the bottom," says Rey.
Dupree did come up with the money to post bond.

I had a cold last week and thought that might be the cause, but am feeling better, not taking any medications and nursed as frequently as possible over the weekend and still am not pumping as much as usual. Today's session was almost half of what I have been getting. Has this happened to anyone else out there? What else can I do besides frequent nursing to increase supply?

RSBS Featured at Rocky Mountain Way (Part II)
From outside Coors Field, looking in, that strapping young Rockies' enthusiast Tom Walsh has gone deep inside the commodious mind of yet another (perhaps even more intelligent but slightly less outspoken) RSBS stunner. That's right folks, the internationally acclaimed Allen Krause sat down with Walsh on the Rocky Mountain Way's latest edition of "Timeout at the Plate".
Want to know just how well your precious, seemingly endless tax dollars are being spent?
Then you better click *HERE* to read the full interview.
Expect to be wowed — not by his endless adoration for that abomination of a baseball franchise known as the Detroit Tigers, but by his inability to accept reality.
10 Comments
You guys were the toughest participants and I can't wait for the DVD to come out so I can add in the extras so people can really see RSBS! JK
Another great interview! Pretty cool that you were a diplomat in Washington DC. Always great to learn some more about our family/community here!
Another great interview! I enjoyed learning more about you both!
There comes a point where we have to move on from what happened in '06. We got more than we could have asked for that year and while the Tigers looked my JV baseball team from Plainwell High School (<< the same high school Allen went to) for 5 games of the world series…. at least they beat the freakin Yankees! So here is what I would like to see the talking heads that are RSBS debate: The curse of the corner: Woodward @ Montcalm. If you were to ask me (which no one did which is why I am writing this) it's no coincidence that the two Detroit sports franchises located at this corner have such a troubled recent history. Somehow even while enjoying moderate success; tigers Playoff run of '06 and the lions starting 6-2 in '07, they always seem to fold; Tigers 5 game sweep in the WS and the lions finishing out 1-7 to miss the playoffs. Worse yet, when expectations are high, Lions and Tigers in '08, you know how this story goes, they fold like congress to President Bush' patriot act in '01 which effectively wiped out half of the US constitution. But it gets worse, our franchises located away from the cursed corner; the Red Wings and the Pistons, enjoy continued success and both sport Championships in the past five years. So what gives? Is it the ghost of the manufacturing jobs that came to Detroit and died? Is it the rampant de-urbanization of a once proud city? Or is there something bigger here I'm missing?
Are you missing something? Yes. The Tigers just ain't that good. I don't think it has much to do with that corner… perhaps more to do with the hot corner: Inge? Cabrera? Guillen? Can someone just play third base for crying out loud?
Allen, are you really going to let Jeff get away with calling your team an abomination? Come on! Man up!
Inge can only overplay third base by making the plays no one else can but throwing the routine grounders into the visitng dugout. Cabrera moves like Rosie O'Donelll after two hours at Shoneys (yes they serve spam on their breakfast buffet) so that leaves Guillen. With Guillen and Cabrera more likely to alternate at DH and 1B that leaves…. Jeff Larish. Looks like the answer to your question is 'No'. Maybe they will finally see the light with Dontrelle and give up on his pitching career. With the arm he already has and the 'cat-like reflexes' attained from several years on the mound he could be converted into a neckalce wearing third baseman like nothing weve ever seen. Or we'll just keep paying him 20mm a year to throw BP to 19 year olds playing A-ball.
Sounds like a good deal, David. I've seen those baseball for youth commercials featuring D-train and he does well with kids so A-Ball sounds like a good fit. P.S., no one throws a ball into the dugout like Brandon Inge. He's a blooper-reel keeper.
Great interviews, guys! Allen, yours was funnier. But Jeff, yours was more umm…smarter. I look forward to more of your intense and thoughtful debates on the important issues facing our country: like which Andrews sister is hotter.
Erin, it's Erin. Hands down. Thanks for playing!

If I returned to Japan, Tokyo would certainly be a must, but Osaka is actually the city I would love to visit again the most. I remember Osaka as having the best sort of "vibe." It's rather indescribable, but a few features were cool people, fun style, and amazing food.

Budapest is another city with wonderful atmosphere, although I would have to visit in the summer the second time around since I found the winter frightfully cold. My favorite site there were the catacombs and it would be fantastic to attend a party in the catacombs while wearing something appropriately gothic-inspired.
I've never been to Paris since I don't count layovers (who would?), but I would love to visit that city one day. France always conjures up images of timeless chic to me and I imagine my wardrobe for there would be an understated mix of black and white (that certainly would make packing simple).

Unemployment Seen Rising in Last Pre-Election Jobs Report
Hurricane Sandy should little affect these estimates as employer and household surveys were conducted earlier in October. Going forward, the hurricane will depress employment but only until the rebuilding begins in earnest.
Rebuilding will raise employment and incomes later in 2013, but not enough to substantially alter the national economic picture.
If President Obama is reelected and delivers on campaign promises, the jobs picture will worsen.
Since peaking at 10% in October 2009, the jobless rate has fallen mostly because six million adults have chosen not to look for work. But for this phenomenon, the unemployment rate would still be 9.7%.
More than eight million part-time workers would like full-time work but can't find it. Adding in those folks, the unemployment rate is 14.7%.
In 2007, the last year before the financial collapse, the deficit was $161 billion with the Bush tax cuts in place, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and new Medicare prescription drug coverage.
Over the last four years, the deficit has averaged $1.3 trillion. Additional tax cuts, such as the $95 billion payroll tax holiday, subsidies for green energy and electric cars, and social and regulatory programs, promoted by President Obama, caused this red ink.
Even with huge stimulus, convincing millions they don't want a job and compelling desperate workers to settle for part-time work has been the Obama Administration's most effective jobs program.
Though Congress may avoid sequestration, some temporary tax cuts, such as reduced Social Security taxes and elements of the Bush tax cuts benefiting high-income families, will likely lapse and some combination of savings in entitlements and defense spending will be accomplished. Overall, these would lower the deficit in the range of $300 billion.
If reelected, President Obama promises additional stimulus -- aid to state budgets under the guise of teacher retention, infrastructure projects and more subsidies for alternative energy projects.
When the dust settles, the deficit should be unchanged. However, the tax increases will come quickly but the additional spending will arrive with considerable lag. As take-home pay is slashed and consumer spending slows, the economy easily could be thrown into a second, deep recession -- double-digit unemployment by any measure.
Already, the sales of S&P 500 companies, which account for about 80% of publicly traded enterprises, are flat, and business investment fell in the third quarter. Sustaining profits will require layoffs.
By mid 2013, the economy may well be in a recession from which it cannot easily be resurrected -- a depression -- caused by fundamental problems not addressed by President Obama.
The growing trade deficits on oil and with China have been a huge drain on domestic demand, and those kill nearly 10 million jobs.

PRONUNCIATION:(MEE-zlee, MEEZ-lee)
1. Ridiculously small or bad.
2. Infected with measles.
Initially, the word measly was used to describe a pig infected with measles, which is probably derived from Middle Dutch masel (blemish) and its spelling influenced by Middle English mesel (leprous, leprosy). Earliest documented use: 1598.

EASILY - answer to the question "Can good men be fooled?" Example:
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." - Eisenhower
See? Eisenhower was a nice man but without guns to fight bad men we all would be unclothed and cold and hungry.

Now BranShea, be nice (maybe you are but I couldn't open your nice video) because I wern't being "weasily".
You see, BranShe, in these United States of Mississippi it is permissible to disagree with your betters even if your betters are by some strange quirk better than you.
Anu, as you saw, slipped in his Eisenhower quote and understandably only a weasily Mississippian complained.
And yet Anu, for the most part, is a good man.

You missed a cute little video. (link is in good order) So as I see you favor guns to keep off the bad man ( whoever they are) and to bring to everyone the wonderful permission to disagree with their betters ( whoever they may be)
Then you wern't being weasly but understandably only a weasly Missisippian. I really tried to understand. I don't mind being the dummy here.

1. Lacking vitality, strength, or colorfulness.
2. Suffering from anemia.
From anemia (a condition in which one has a reduced number of red blood cells or hemoglobin), from Greek an- (without) + haima (blood). Earliest documented use: 1839. The word anemious is entirely different.
AMEMIC - I can't think of anything
pronunciation:. "uh-MEEM-ick
origin: from "a-" (without), and "meme" (a unit of memory, a concept that sticks in your head)

Good one, Wolf! You are a tough act to follow.
PANENIC - an anthropologist who goes native.
Etymology: pan (all) -enic (one who studies a culture from the perspective of the culture he is studying).

text: His reactionary views about British control in India and King Edward VIII's abdication alienated him from his political peers. But the war years from 1939 to 1945 became his most famous period. This episode traces Churchill's leadership of Britain through its finest hour, during the Battle of Britain, to its darkest hour in 1942. His famous speeches rallied the nation, but the pressures of war forced him to make agonizing and brutal decisions. The program also explores the important relationship between Churchill and President Roosevelt.
