September 11, 2013 —
BETHEL, NY — The Stray Cat Gallery's next show, "Four Visions," featuring the work of photographers Jerry Cohen, Charlie Dill, Greg Fiske and J.G. Riley, opens on Friday, September 13, with an artists' reception on Saturday, September 14 from 4 to 7 p.m. The show runs through September 25.
For the show, the four photographers, all of them local, agreed to take shots of sites in Sullivan County in 10 different categories, each providing his unique perspective. The list of categories includes a downtown area, wildlife, a Sullivan Renaissance site, and an architectural interior, among others.
The photographers bring a broad range of experience and interests to their differing takes on Sullivan County. Professionally trained, longtime photographer Cohen is accustomed to photographing a wide range of subjects, saying "my interests are as varied as the world around me." Fiske, a saxophonist/music producer who is newer to the art world, has specialized in photographing fellow musicians as well as nature. Dill is particularly passionate about nature and the outdoors. Riley writes of photographing the world around us, "Photography allows me to capture the song and share it with others."
Gallery hours are Wednesday through Friday, 11 to 6 p.m., Saturday 10 to 7 p.m. and Sunday 10 to 5 p.m. Visit www.straycatgallery.com [1].

I gave birth on October 13th (14.5 weeks ago). I pumped for the first 3 weeks of my son's life. He was never able to latch (he is tongue-tied and I have inverted nipples). The stress of pumping and constantly washing the pump + bottles took ahold of me and I stopped. Needless to say, now that I am more comfortable and confident with motherhood, I want to breastfeed my baby (even if it's only through pumped milk). The pediatrician advised me that my baby would not be likely to take to breastfeeding even if I corrected his tongue-tie.
I am able to express a few drops of milk. I am pumping as often as possible but nothing is coming out. I am taking 9 pills of 610mg Fenugreek every day. I will bring my son to my breasts and he will mouth them for just a few seconds before crying or getting uncomfortable. Will the mouthing help to stimulate milk? Is there anything else I can do to regain my milk?
Also... the Medela manual pump was given to me in the hospital. It worked very well. I ended up throwing it away (silly, I know). I bought the Evenflo electric pump and can't help but wonder if the Medela would work better. I can't seem to get my breasts to "let down" before pumping, and the Medela encouraged let down by reverse-pumping the piston. Any advice on where to buy the Medela Harmony for the best price?

It Could Be Worse1 of 10
By Natasha Burton
Halloween isn't the only scary-inspired holiday in October—Mother-in-Law Day falls right before, on October 28. (Coincidence? We're not so sure.) But, no matter what your relationship with your husband's mother, we can bet that she's not nearly as scary as these mothers-in-law from film and TV.
No Love2 of 10
Marie Barone epitomized the classic meddling, know-it-all mother-in-law on Everybody Loves Raymond. She continually criticized her son's wife, Debra, for what she deemed to be inferior cooking, cleaning and mothering skills, frequently expressing her distaste with the catchphrase "I don't like that."
Piece of Work3 of 10
From the moment Jane Burke met her son's fiancée, Christina, on Grey's Anatomy, she wasn't shy about voicing her disapproval of their union. Not only did she intimate that Christina was racist, she presumed her future daughter-in-law should give up being a doctor because her cardiac surgeon son was such a "good catch." While Jane did end up showing her hidden admiration for Christina eventually, this was only after her son left Christina at the altar.
Too Close for Comfort4 of 10
In Boardwalk Empire, Angela may have suspected that her husband, Jimmy, and his mother, Gillian, seemed a bit too close for comfort and, well, she was right. In a flashback scene we learn that Gillian drunkenly seduced her own son years before, which put in motion a chain of events that led him to flee town, join the army and then get into the family business: organized crime.
Like Mother, Like Daughter5 of 10
Talk about awkward: After Ben gets seduced by Mrs. Robinson in The Graduate, Mr. Robinson, unaware of his wife's affair, suggests that Ben date their daughter, Elaine. While Elaine does leave her fiancé at the altar to be with Ben in the end, the future doesn't bode well for this pair given that everyone now knows about Ben's dalliance with her mother.
What a Monster6 of 10
In Monster-in-Law, Viola Fields gets fired from her TV news anchor job and has a brief stay in a mental hospital, only to discover that her doctor son has, after a whirlwind romance, popped the question to a woman named Charlie. Worried she's going to lose the only thing she has left, her son, Viola tries to drive Charlie away by tricking her into eating nuts, triggering a allergic reaction, and showing up to the wedding in a white dress.
Ice Queen7 of 10
Sansa Stark was thrilled when she became betrothed to Prince Joffrey Baratheon, son of Cersei Lannister, in Game of Thromes. But she realizes her future MIL will do anything to protect her son—she even orders that Sansa's dog, Lady, be killed for nipping at Joffrey's arm while trying to protect a kid he was bullying. Then, when the Starks go to war with the Lannisters, Cersei refuses to let Sansa go home, even after Joffrey proves to be quite the sociopath and has her father beheaded right before her eyes.
Momma's Boy8 of 10
It's hard to know just where to start with Bunny MacDougal, Charlotte's snooty, controlling MIL in Sex and the City. First, there was the over-mothering of her grown-up son—Bunny would chat with Trey while he was in the bathtub and take care of him when he had a cold. Then, there was the meddling into Charlotte and Trey's relationship, even insisting on picking out their marital bed. Finally, her close-mindedness: When Trey and Charlotte were having trouble getting pregnant, Bunny vehemently objected to having a "Mandarin granddaughter" through adoption.
It's a Sign9 of 10
In The Family Stone, when Everett Stone takes his girlfriend, Meredith, home for Christmas to meet his family —and ask his mother, Sybil, if he can have the family heirloom to propose with—it's instantly clear that uptight Meredith doesn't quite fit in with the fun-loving Stones. During a discussion of whether sexual orientation is a matter of nature or of nurture, Meredith ends up offending the entire family (Everett's brother is gay, and also deaf), which prompt Sybil to deem her an "asshole" to the group in sign language.
Wicked Witch10 of 10
Bewitched's Endora disapproved of her daughter Samantha's non-magical husband, Darren, to the point that, through eight years of the series, she continually called him Durwood, What's-His-Name or Dum-Dum. But after her attempts to break the two up failed time after time, she had to concede that Darren's love for her daughter was stronger than her own plots and spells.

Man acquitted in domestic assault trialOctober 24,2013Man acquitted of
domestic assault
BENNINGTON A local man was acquitted of a felony count of domestic assault after a jury trial Wednesday.
Dana J. Pratt, 21, was arraigned in July in Bennington criminal court on a felony count of second-degree aggravated domestic assault, as well as misdemeanor counts of unlawful mischief and unlawful trespass onto property.
The jury found Pratt innocent of all charges Wednesday.
Police said a woman reported July 16 that Pratt had threatened her with a hammer, tied her wrists with a scarf and broke items in her home.
The woman had been in a seven-year relationship with Pratt and they have a child together.
Pratt still has pending charges of violating conditions of probation after his conviction for a 2012 domestic assault against the same woman in the July 16 incident. He is due back in court in November.MORE IN This Just InPolice: Chase

Pediatric Rehabilitation Services
Children sometimes require special help as they grow and develop. We can provide expert help to children ranging in age from infancy to adolescence for physical, sensory, motor, speech, language, cognition and academic difficulties. Our programs are family centered so parents and siblings can participate in therapies and learn how to best enhance their loved one's strengths. We coordinate each child's treatment program with his family, outside agencies and physician. Families start by meeting with an experienced case manager to discuss concerns regarding their child. Evaluations and service options are reviewed at that time. Once a child begins treatment, progress is continually reviewed and re-evaluations are done every six months. We emphasize setting realistic, attainable treatment goals and work toward helping children in our programs access appropriate community resources. Problems TreatedWe can help infants who have difficulty with breastfeeding or eating, with movement, coordination and balance. We also have therapies for infants who have floppy or stiff muscle tone or who have difficulty sustaining controlled movement. We provide a range of therapies for children who have difficulty with fine and gross motor coordination such as mastering age appropriate motor skills or handwriting. Children who are overly sensitive to movement, sound, or being touched, or who are easily overstimulated by their environment, benefit from therapies emphasizing sensory modulation and sensory integration. We also work with children who are impulsive, distractible and who have difficulty maintaining their focus on one activity. We have a comprehensive evaluation and treatment program for children on the Autism spectrum. Other concerns which we address include academic and writing difficulties, trouble forming sentences or speaking clearly, and understanding and following directions.Our TeamWe have a multidisciplinary treatment team to coordinate your child's care and insure that treatment goals are being met in a timely manner. You and your child may work with any or all of the following specialists:
Jordan Marshall suffered a massive stroke in utero, which means she had a stroke before she was even born. The damage was so extensive that doctors didn't know whether she would ever walk, talk or see.Now 8 years old, Jordan has made incredible progress. She participates fully in school and excels academically. Despite some physical challenges, Jordan rides a bike, runs, skis and climbs."I never actually thought I could do it. I didn't think I could rock climb. I didn't think I could climb a ladder all the way up to the top. But I actually did," said Jordan.
Watch Jordan's video and learn about her progress through the help of BCH's rehabilitation services for children. (Note: Rehabilitation Services at BCH's Mapleton Center, referenced in the video, relocated to the Broadway Campus in December of 2015.)
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)A Board Certified Behavior Analyst provides services which helps children work toward independence by teaching skills to replace or prevent the occurence of inappropriate behaviors. Empirically based therapy addresses concerns such as temper tantrums, toilet training, eating and safety risks.Occupational TherapyWe use play and purposeful activities to help a child develop fine and gross motor skills. A child's ability to perform such tasks as writing, reading, playing with toys and interacting with other children is affected by his sensory processing abilities. Based on sensory integration therapy, we also use play to help develop the brain's ability to interpret and organize information necessary for learning. Physical TherapyOur physical therapists work with a child to attain and maintain her maximum potential. The therapist's goal is to improve each child's motor skills, balance, coordination, posture, strength, movement patterns and other functional abilities. Techniques include neurodevelopmental treatment and therapy in our warm water pool.
PsychologyA licensed child psychologist participates in evaluations, facilitates small groups, and offers parental support. Our psychologist is the lead of the Autism program.Speech-Language TherapyOur goal is to insure a child's successful interaction with family members, friends and others in the community. We work with a child to improve social interactions, develop vocabulary, listening skills, academic skills and his ability to express thoughts and emotions. Our therapists help develop verbal and nonverbal communication skills using play and movement, computers and assistive technology, oral exercises and family participation. Special Groups & ProgramsOur Pediatric Rehabilitation Services Department offers several specialized programs including evaluation clinics, ongoing groups and summer activities. We provide services for newborns through age 16. ABLE (Autism, Behavior and Learning Evaluation) Our team has been trained in a behavioral approach to treating children with autism spectrum disorders and related issues. Evaluation and treatment is individualized for each child and emphasizes structure and routine in setting goals. Our team will consult and coordinate programs with other agencies and individuals working with your child. Click for more information.Augmentative Communication ProgramChildren with limited verbal language skills learn to use assistive technology to communicate better with family and friends. Therapy may be done individually or in a group setting. Click for more information.Feeding ProgramMothers and their infants can get individual help and information for problems with breastfeeding, bottle-feeding or other eating difficulties. We also use sensory modulation techniques to work with older children who demonstrate avoidance or defensiveness to food texture, color, smell or taste. Click for more information.Handwriting ProgramChildren who need special help with letter formation for printing or cursive receive therapy individually or in small group settings. Specific programs are followed for learning letters and for improving fine motor skills in general. We assess pencil grasp and use grips, slant boards or other devices to assist with handwriting.Neonatal Assessment ProgramOur team of clinical experts evaluates infants' early developmental skills and helps babies who have problems with fussiness, floppiness, tightness, prematurity, feeding, interacting or neurologic difficulties.Seating and Mobility ClinicThe seating and mobility clinic determines the most appropriate manual or power wheelchair and positioning system to allow your child to be as mobile and functional as possible in home, school and community settings. Click for more information.Summer Group ProgramsChildren with language, motor, sensory integration or attention span difficulties benefit from weeklong summer camp programs that include hiking, swimming, horseback riding, rock climbing and animal care. Other summer groups focus on peer interaction and socialization, handwriting and problem-solving skills. Click here to see the 2016 Summer Camp Brochure.

Seth BrownPosted Dec. 2, 2013
WEF held the inaugural Stormwater Congress in October, co-located with WEFTEC 2013, brought a renewed level of attention and focus to stormwater issues with a solid technical program and dynamic related exhibition. And thanks to a couple of major new developments, stormwater continues to be the talk of the 'water quality' town here in Washington.
On November 14, WEF applauded the introduction of the Innovative Stormwater Infrastructure Act of 2013, which will provide essential tools for communities looking at investing in advanced stormwater strategies to manage polluted runoff and protect clean water. This very significant bi-partisan legislation would establish technical stormwater centers of excellence and seek financing solutions to stormwater infrastructure needs, all closely aligned with WEF's goal to drive innovation in water.
On the regulatory side, WEF was proud to participate at an important U.S. EPA Green Infrastructure Summit on Oct. 21, when the agency announced a new GI Strategic Agenda. This effort to raise public awareness about the need for GI to manage wet weather emphasizes local community engagement, partnerships, and technical assistance programs. The new agenda identifies federal coordination, regulatory support, research and information exchange, funding and financing, and capacity building as areas that can help further successful GI approaches to address water quality issues.
Plans are well underway for the Stormwater Congress to be cohosted for the second time at WEFTEC 2014, where we expect to build on the impressive technical program and Stormwater Pavilion for exhibitors seen at WEFTEC in Chicago. Meanwhile consider subscribing to Stormwater Report and joining the Stormwater or Watershed Management Committees to keep on top of developments in this amazing and evolving field.

IBM researchers have revealed a previously unknown aspect of key physics inside racetrack memory, a new technology design which stands to improve memory capabilities. The racetrack memory project - which started in IBM's research labs only six years ago - flips the current memory paradigm on its head.
Digital data is typically stored in magnetic hard disk drives, which are low-cost but slow due to their moving parts, or in solid state memory such as flash memory, which are faster but more expensive. Racetrack memory aims to combine the best attributes of these two types of devices by storing data as magnetic regions – also called domains – in racetracks just a few tens of nanometers wide.
Instead of making computers seek out the data it needs – as is the case in traditional computing systems – IBM's racetrack memory automatically moves data to where it can be used, sliding magnetic bits back and forth along nanowire "racetracks". This technique would allow electronic manufacturers to design a portable device capable of storing all the movies produced worldwide in a given year with room to spare.
The new understanding, revealed today in the journal Science, allows the precise control of the placement of these domains, which the IBM team has proven can act as nano-sized data keepers that can not only store at least 100 times more memory than today's techniques, but can be accessed at much greater speeds. By controlling electrical pulses in the device, the scientists can move these domain walls at speeds of hundreds of miles per hour and then stop them precisely at the position needed - allowing massive amounts of stored information to be accessed in less than a billionth of a second.
The IBM scientists were the first to measure the time and distance of domain wall acceleration and deceleration in response to electric current pulses, which is how digital information is moved and processed in racetrack memory. This not only gives scientists an unprecedented understanding and control over the magnetic movements inside these devices but also advances IBM's racetrack memory - driving it closer to marketplace viability.
"We discovered that domain walls don't hit peak acceleration as soon as the current is turned on, and that it takes them exactly the same time and distance to hit peak acceleration as it does to decelerate and eventually come to a stop. This was previously undiscovered in part because it was not clear whether the domain walls actually had mass, and how the effects of acceleration and deceleration could exactly compensate one another. Now we know domain walls can be positioned precisely along the racetracks simply by varying the length of the current pulses even though the walls have mass," said Dr. Stuart Parkin, an IBM fellow at IBM research.
To achieve the densest and fastest possible memory, the domain walls inside the device must be moved at speeds of hundreds of miles per hour to atomically precise positions along the tracks. These timescales (tens of nanoseconds) and distances (micrometers) are surprisingly long, especially since previous experiments had shown no evidence for acceleration and deceleration for domain walls driven along smooth racetracks with current.

Here is one of my favorite Fall fly patterns used in September and October on bright Sun Shine days. This fly has taken Browns and Bows consistanly during this time frame. In the spring it will lure a fish or two and is not as affective as I mentioned in the September/October time frame.
Hi Andy,
That is a great looking fly! A lot of guys are wanting to see a great Wet Fly tier at Troutfest and I hope you have been invited. I have not seen the 2012 schedule of tyers so let's hope we can see you there.
Hugh Hartsell---East Tenn.
Hi Hugh:
I am rather new to this site but a tying event or a show is right up my alley. I would love to come. Does anyone know how I can speak to an event person to see if there is room for me. I truly appreciate the comments and if I am invited then yes all I would be tying is wet flies.
Andy Brasko
Very nice Andy. Quill slip wet fly wings and married feathers are not skills that are acquired over night.

Wicked awesome traditional style wet flies; it is ashame this is a dying art.
Few are "hatch matchers" but Trout & Atlantic Salmon have been eating them for centuries.... almost to pretty to tie on the line!
Do you tie Atlantic Salmon flies?
Hi Corbo just diving into Salmon flies. I love wet flies. Here's a quick story.
I was fishing on the South Branch of the Raritan River a section called the Ken Lockwood Gorge. Back in the 80's this stream was classified as tough and not ment for rookies. Not to mention a lot of the veterans would not give you one lick of help or make a helpful suggestion. The vets felt you had to pay your dues, learn and learn and when you finally started to catch fish they became more than helpful. So here I am fishing the Gorge for three weeks and nothing. I through the kitchen sink at them. I also was so observant and observed the behaviour of the Trout feeding. So another weekend goes by and again two days of nothing and frustration. I was almost ready to go and fish another stream where I was able to catch fish. So in desperation I tyed on a Dark Hendrickson wet fly that I had bought from K-Mart. The flies they sold came in a box from Keystone flies. I had no clue what kind of flies these were back then, but I felt they looked cool and wanted them for a collection if nothing else at all. So on my second cast in a few minutes I landed my very first Brown Trout on a stream that was stated not for rookies. I made a few more casts and when all was said and done that day I landed about 7 or 8 trout mostly all Browns and one or two Brookies. On my way home I was floating in the clouds and could not believe what had happened to me that day. It was from that day on that I and wet flies connected. I have been fishing and tying them ever since. Now I also love streamers and fish them too and maybe once or twice a year dry flies. Wet flies are extremely productive and a lost art to fish with. I have seen a lot of tyers tying them on other web sites, but that is all they do, Tye them. I love great looking wet flies and love to fish them as well. I feel the lost art now a days is knowing when and which wet fly will work. Time of year does very from state to state a bit. But that is a quick story on my life with this style of fishing. I will never change and will continue to do so until my time on this earth is over. I hope people truly do not forget these flies far as fishing. They do take time and patience to tye, but are a snap once you know how. This sir is what I find cool about fly fishing. Some of us gravitate to dry flies, some to wets, others to streamers, Others Emergers and yet other to nymphs and of course their is the all around that likes a little it of everything. Wet flies to most anglers are not fished with now a days mainly because of thier availability and secondly they are not easy to tye at first and you also have to search a bit for materials. Sorry for being a long winded blow hard on this one. I just love this kind of fishing and tying.
Andy Brasko
A Genuine Wet Fly Fishermen
Well Andy.... that was a long paragraph and I love your enthusiasm. I too grew up in South Jersey.
When I was 9 I got my first fly rod purchased at Stratton's Sporting goods in Audubon on the White Hourse Pike. Old George sold few flies but what he had were mostly traditional wets.
When I was 10 I bought a fly tying kit at the Philly Sportsman's show (1970) and it came with a book by Eric Liescer (spelling name wrong) and there were very good directions for tying wets though it was of course black and white... the kit came with lotsa duck quill and exotic colored feathers, furs and floss. I still have some of these materials today!
Well; in the school library were a few books by various Catskill guys & Lee Wulff wherein descriptions of "fishing a brace" of wet flies (3 in number, one on the point and two droppers) were the standard means for catching trout in these New York, Vermont and upper Jersey waters.
SO; I started tying mostly wet flies and back in those days materials were very scarce; especially in South Jersey... each year at the Philly show I would buy whatever they had and I could afford. Do you remember all the materials from "UNIVERSAL VISE"? They were a MA company; still have some carded silk floss, tinsel, gold wire, brass wire etc. from those days. Heck I still have pieces of fur for dubbing... they were sold as tying material but were scrap from the fur coat industry that Universal sold.
Anyway... about the time I was 12 or 13 a guy took me to fish the Raritan and I did catch a couple fish on my wet flies casting a brace and of course losing a ****ton of flies to trees and the bottom.
When I first moved to Maine full time in 1984 (after graduating Rutgers Camden and knowing NJ was never gonna be a fly fishing mecca) I still primarily used wets & classic streamers that I tied myself but as the years went bye I seemed to move toward mostly traditional dry flies, then parachutes and so on until I stopped tying these wets altogether.
The last fish I caught on one of my wets was in the Sandy River about 1993; a beautiful brown who sucked up a yellow professor.. when I landed him I found the fly had pruned off the bottom of his gills and he died. I fed him to my father.
Oh well; your flies are well constructed and beautiful... back in the day I could look at any traditional wet and tell you the name as I owned several books long since given away or donated that had hundreds of color plates with all the names and materials lists.
Oh how I wish I still had them.
You are an inspiration. Thanks Richard.

John "Gonzo" Gonzalez of MLive searched far and wide across the state for Michigan's best burger. After six days of traveling 1,700 miles and visiting 33 restaurants, he found one thing for sure – Michigan is home to a number of great burgers! Read about John's experience below and be sure to check out the list of Michigan's best burgers for more.
I looked down at the end of the bar at Miller's in Dearborn, where I saw a young man eating his second burger. "Man, you must love this place to eat TWO burgers!" I said. Still chewing, he held up his hand, flashing three fingers. "No," I said. "I only saw TWO burgers in front of you." He gulped down his bite and said, "I order two that I eat immediately, and then I order a third one," he said. "Oh, I see, you order a third one to go?" "Oh no," he said. "I'll eat it here. I just don't want it to get cold, that's why I wait to order the third one."
That's the passion I discovered at every stop on our search for Michigan's Best Burger 2013. Whether it was patrons, chefs, owners, managers or employees, there is a Michigan passion for a good, old fashioned burger with cheese and your favorite toppings.
We have done these searches before:
Michigan's Best Coney Dog (American Coney in Detroit),
Best BBQ (West Texas BBQ in Jackson),
Best Ice Cream Parlor (MOO-ville Creamery in Nashville),
Best Haunted House (Erebus in Pontiac), and
Best Breakfast (Anna's House in Grand Rapids).
But our search for Michigan's Best Burger was by far our most extensive one. After a nomination process that involves our readers, we put up polls in all of our markets to determine the readers' favorites. Once we have that list, I hit the road.
This time we traveled 1,700 miles, visited 33 restaurants and did it over a period of six days. We visited burger joints from Sault Ste. Marie to Detroit, Bay City to Kalamazoo and Ann Arbor to Muskegon. On some days we visited 7 restaurants in one day.
If any of you have followed our other searches, I often take along an expert or companion who helps me out. It's not easy eating all this food. On our search for Michigan's Best Coney Dog, I was joined by Joe Grimm (co-author of "Coney Detroit"). On BBQ, it was the president of the Great Lakes Barbecue Association, Mike Terry of Flushing. And for our breakfast search it was Mike Jensen, a retired prison cook from Saranac.
For burgers, we were joined by David Kutzko, a Western Michigan University professor of Classics (Greek and Latin) who has a huge appetite and spends a lot of time checking out Michigan restaurants. Also, we were joined by Fritz Klug, a statewide reporter for MLive and David's former student whose intention was to tag along on our trip to the Upper Peninsula and Northern Michigan. But we couldn't shake him.
What we discovered: Michigan residents love their burgers!
Most of the burgers on our Top 10 list were cooked on flattop grills and used a blend of 80 percent lean meat, and 20 percent fat. Many used a hand press. All of them are flipped only once.
Each place had a little different method; some used a secret seasoning, others used salt and pepper, and some used no seasoning at all.
The secret was in the meat, and the preparation method. We also took into account creativity, buns and those intangibles that make you want to order a second – or third – burger before you leave!
Here is our Top 10 List:
Laura's Little Burger Joint, 47141 M-51, Decatur
- West Pier Drive-In, 601 W. Portage Ave., Sault Ste. Marie
- Miller's Bar, 23700 Michigan Ave., Dearborn
- Talley's Log Cabin Bar, 2981 County Road 612, Lewiston
- Stella's Lounge, 53 Commerce Ave. SW, Grand Rapids
- Brown Bear, 147 N. Michigan Ave., Shelby
- Schlenker's Sandwich Shop, 1104 E. Ganson St., Jackson
- Torch Bar & Grill, 522 Buckham Alley, Flint
- Schuberg's Bar & Grill, 109 N. Michigan Ave., Big Rapids
- Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger, 304 S. Ashley St, Ann Arbor
Take a look at our complete list of 33 finalists; you won't go wrong at any one of them.

Vt. settles with Calif. companyMay 10,2013
Vt. settles with
Calif. company
MONTPELIER The Vermont attorney generals office has reached a settlement with Trademark Monitoring Services Inc. of California for mailing solicitations misrepresenting that businesses owed it money for trademark-related services.
Under the settlement, TMS must strictly comply with Vermont and federal law regulating through-the-mail offers, pay full refunds to the businesses that sent it money, and pay $10,000 to the state in penalties and costs.
The attorney generals office has received complaints from individuals and businesses about unauthorized billings by out-of-state companies.
TMS offers services such as monitoring trademarks and service mark registrations and searching for similar trademarks. The cost of these services ranged from $485 to $1,285 per year.
The company sent mailings to 18 Vermont businesses, resulting in payments by three of them, two of which stopped payment on their checks.
In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, the attorney generals office concluded that the mailings misrepresented that businesses owed the company money.
In addition, the TMS mailings did not contain a disclaimer as prominently as required by the U.S. Postal Service for through-the-mail solicitations that could reasonably be considered a bill, invoice or statement of account due.
According to the state, these practices violated the Vermont Consumer Protection Acts prohibition on unfair and deceptive acts and practices in commerce.

Milwaukee man gets life for beating child to death
Man killed girlfriend's 2-year-old son
A Milwaukee man who gained attention for overcoming poverty and a broken home has been sentenced to life in prison for fatally beating a 2-year-old boy.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports 28-year-old Corey Benson was sentenced Friday to a life term with no chance of supervised release.
Benson was convicted in March of killing his girlfriend's 2-year-old son while babysitting the boy in 2011, and severely injuring the boy in 2010.
He continued to deny responsibility in court Friday.
The criminal complaint says Benson walked into Aurora Sinai Medical Center in 2011, carrying Karmari Curtis, who wasn't breathing. An autopsy showed the boy had multiple injuries.
Benson has been charged with abusing Karmari before. In October 2010, the boy was hospitalized for six days because of his injuries.

....and all you other supportive mammas out there!
You may have noticed that Xerex bumped a few of her threads for me. That was because I PM'd her to get more details of her success in weaning off supplements.
The crux of her advice was....
Have confidence and stop trying too hard
Ditch bottles and use the SNS
Don't worry too much about how much supplement you need to give
(hope that sums it up)
Here's how it's worked for me so far...
Eleanor is 4 months and has been supplemented from 2 weeks due to dehydration and continued weight loss. By 4 weeks she must have been having mostly formula (16-18oz per day). At 6 weeks I found this site and did all the usual suggestions but didn't have the energy for SNS feeding all the time as she was so slow so about half of her feeds were slow flow bottles. Anyhow, my supply did improve some with pumping, herbs, water and oats. It was all hard work and I could not seem to get past an average of 9oz a day. So now at 4 months and on reading Xerex's threads I came to the conclusion that I wasn't to fret so much. Give as much formula as needed but only with SNS and stop pumping so much (just one session at night now).
Well it's been 2 days and what a remarkabe improvement. Only 2oz formula on day 1 and 3oz on day 2. I feel so much happier and I think that my supply is showing the benefits of that. It's only a small step to EBF. Surprisingly, Eleanor seems a little more content too, I think that I have missinterpreted boredom for hunger in the past. She's always happy to suck but I think that it was just passive rather than feeding that she was often doing. I hope that I'm right and I guess that the scales will eventually confirm!
I've had such good advice here and I thank you for taking the time to reply to my questions. I let you know how things go over the next few weeks. The best thing is that for once I'm feeling confident about it!

About Snow BikingSnow biking most likely started when the Iditabike race started in 1987 using the same route of the Iditarod sled dog race in Alaska. Like these arduous races, snow biking is definitely tough, but it's gaining in popularity nevertheless. According to Simon Rankower from allweathersports.com in Alaska, snow biking is "more interesting and fun than riding on the dirt. And talk about power riding--wait until you go on your first ride in about four to six inches of powder. Riding in the snow is hard and technical. 10 miles in the snow is like 20 miles on a dirt trail." It's great way to stay in shape for your summer mountain biking and may even improve your bike handling skills. Snow biking also generates a lot of heat since it's so strenuous. Like all cardio winter sports, dress in layers! Start with a wool or synthetic base layer, top that with a lightweight insulation layer like a Nano Puff vest, and cover those with a waterproof shell or riding jacket, depending on the temperatures. Heavy tights made out of Polartec or something similar are a must to keep your legs, and especially your knees, warm. Cloudveil "Run Don't Walk" tights are a good example. Lobster gloves or ski gloves will keep your hands warm, but will have enough dexterity for shifting gears and braking.
"Riding in the snow is hard and technical. 10 miles in the snow is like 20 miles on a dirt trail." -- Simon Rankower
Tips on Winter Riding from allweathersports.com:
- "Pedal smoothly and relax your upper body, especially on ice and soft snow.
- When the bike starts going sideways, make small corrections rather than over steering and weaving down the trail. Practice riding in a straight line when the trail is good so it's easier under bad conditions.
- On some soft trails, higher speeds take less effort than lower speeds, because your tires sink into the snow less at higher speed.
- Snow machines leave the center of the trail soft. Their best tracks are left by their skis, if you can ride straight enough to use them.
- Road ice can provide lots of traction or very little. Learn how the different types look and sound. Try not to brake hard on the slippery sort, or if you must, use only your rear brake. Watch for dry patches where you can do your braking or turning."
Where to Snow Bike in the Jackson Hole AreaThere are plenty of places to ride your snow bike in the Jackson Hole area. Groomed Nordic trails, snowmobile groomed trails, snowmobile singletrack, and winter roads are good choices. In Jackson, Cache Creek is a great place to start since it's groomed twice weekly and has a pretty gentle grade. The Hagen Trail, which can be accessed at the Cache Creek trail head can be a good if there isn't too much snow and is a bit more climbing. Check the Jackson Hole Community Pathways Winter Trail Map for more ideas on where to go and info on grooming/plowing days and times. Snow King hill, of course, is a great place to ride, but the grade is, well, not-so-gentle. Ride the jeep road up after the resort closes or on Monday's for an epic challenge. Drive over the Teton Pass to Teton Valley for numerous winter biking options. Teton and Horseshoe Canyons are obvious picks for beginners as they are groomed and offer gentle grades. Grand Targhee Resort features more advanced trails. Check out this blog post, Experts in the FAT since 2007, on Fitzgerald's website for more info about where to ride and great trail etiquette tips.
"Now the greater Teton area has become a mecca for Winter Fat Biking and the people rejoice as their legs are prepared for the Spring riding like never before and the lack of a powder day offers a wondrous opportunity to explore new lands." -- Scott Fitzgerald
Where to Buy or Rent Snow Bikes in the Jackson Hole AreaA short bike ride from Snow King Resort, The Hub Bicycles offers snow Surly Pugsley snow bikes for sale or rent. To have one for your very own, it's going to set you back about $1650. Email or call them at 307-200-6144 to reserve a Surly Pugsley (in the appropriately named color, "snowblind") and ride it over to the King. Fitzgerald's Bicycles in Victor, ID sells the Salsa Mukluk 3 for $1599 or demos it for $35/day or $50 for the weekend. Call the shop to reserve one or for more info: 208-787-2453

Faldage declared, stoutly no doubt: I have come to think that this while/whilst thing is just another case of the Anglophon()es twitting the poor US'ns. They don't come clean here I'mo go back to using the "M" word.
I don't think it is a dig at Americans, personally. "Whilst" may have once been the formal initial "While", but now it is rarely used in anything I read which has been written recently. I suspect that it's a word which is simply falling into obsolescence as words will. One English teacher I had at school once said that it was a word frequently used by those whose grasp of the language was less than firm to convince their readers that this was not the case.
I don't know if this is true or not, and I couldn't find anything to confirm or deny his view._________________________

I think each country has its share of obsolete terms. I wasn't aware until this thread that whilst was obsolete, any more so than most people in the USA would think that there was anything strange about the word "gotten".
Even the word "folks" is really only in general use in the sense of "old folks" I always found "that's all folks" at the end of cartoons designed for children a little strange.
I will happily say to the children, "just stay in the car whilst I pop into the post office". Whilst I wouldn't say, as has been discussed:
"I could whilst away the hours
conferrin' with the flowers
consultin' with the rain." if only had a brain!

I'd call a monkey wrench a monkey wrench but a spanner a spanner.
By the way - how does anyone kill Dr Black with a spanner in Cluedo whilst in the conservatory if you don't have spanners! Solve that one!!!

yes, there is a parlor (Parlour) and while that is a bit old fashioned-- it is a term still used by grandparents-- and in formal houses. (i have a living room-- if i had a larger house, i might have a family room, or rec room, and a living room, but my nana had a Front parlor.) and my ex's grandmother had a parlor too. so my kids got used to calling great grandma's living room a parlor-- (for a while my daughter thought a parlor was a living room with out a tv!)
and yes, i do keep my clothes in closets! I wish i had more closets! I have an armoire-- but it doesn't have space for hang things-- it has shelves and drawers. I am a clothes horse so i have lots of clothes-- i also have a shoe cubby-- a small cabinet just for storing shoes (36 pairs) Where else would i have my clothes?_________________________

Jo contibutes: "just stay in the car whilst I pop into the post office"
Which is getting to the point of my question. Thank you, Jo. Now, would you say "just stay in the car while I pop into the post office"? If not, why not?
As those of you who are at all interested at this point already know Ænigma thinks whilst is a whim.

- Title
- Observation-consistent input and whitecapping dissipation in a model for wind-generated surface waves: description and simple calculations
- Author(s)
- Rogers, W. Erick; Babanin, Alexander V.; Wang, David W.
- Abstract
- A new wind-input and wind-breaking dissipation for phase-averaged spectral models of wind-generated surface waves is presented. Both are based on recent field observations in Lake George, New South Wales, Australia, at moderate-to-strong wind-wave conditions. The respective parameterizations are built on quantitative measurements and incorporate new observed physical features, which until very recently were missing in source terms employed in operational models. Two novel features of the wind-input source function are those that account for the effects of full airflow separation (and therefore relative reduction of the input at strong wind forcing) and for nonlinear behavior of this term. The breaking term also incorporates two new features evident from observational studies; the dissipation consists of two parts-a strictly local dissipation term and a cumulative term-and there is a threshold for wave breaking, below which no breaking occurs. Four variants of the dissipation term are selected for evaluation, with minimal calibration to each. These four models are evaluated using simple calculations herein. Results are generally favorable. Evaluation for more complex situations will be addressed in a forthcoming paper.

Warning: Toxic Waste
What's with people nowadays?
I mean, I believe that everyone has a right to their own opinion.... but I have found out that my blog (and I) had been given an absolutely damning description of:
"A worthless BLOG, seems it was created by scum dwarf of an ugly bitch in Malaysia, but WTF do you expect from a Muslim .......
Horrible, very anti white, very anti American, very pro Islam.
Ramblings of a distrurbed female mind who seems to be eating chocolate while on the rag" at this website.
Actually, it's almost funny now that I read it again... but it really makes me wonder why there is so much hatred in the world (UNPROVOKED hatred at that).
(And why is it that so many people assume that all Malaysians are Muslim?)

Heya, just stumbled on your blog and I love it! ^^
Ignore the idiot who wrote that. It's just simply not true. I've been browsing your entries and they're all lovely and i think you're extremely considerate enough to state whether the places you've tried are halal or not eventhough you definitely don't have to.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but it shouldn't be an excuse for anybody to be ignorant and mean.
Don't let that person get you down and definitely keep blogging ^^

Sorry man... I have no idea what a pekida is. And you are using so much Malay slang that I completely cannot understand what you are saying.

I'll try my best to keep up the blogging. But lately, work and personal problems are getting in the way.

Fall 2012 - 62380 - PA190G - Writing for Global Policy Studies
Writing II
| Redei, Lorinc
|Unique Number:
|Day & Time:
|Th 9:00 - 12:00 pm
|Waitlist Information:
|For LBJ Students: UT Waitlist Information
Course Overview
The MGPS requires each student to demonstrate advanced individual writing skills suitable for a professional career. This requirement is typically satisfied by enrollment in a one-credit course in three different semesters. Students in the writing course will complete a set of professional writing tasks and work with the faculty member leading the course on the style and composition used in policy writing such as memoranda, advocacy papers, reports, and opinion columns. Several assignments will be tied to attendance at various colloquia affiliated with the MGPS program and / or to use of resources available in the LBJ Presidential Library's archives of actual policy writing from the Johnson Administration. Some students may choose to write a Professional Report as an alternative to taking the three hours of PA 190G; many students who choose to write Professional Reports do so in addition to taking the PA 190G sequence rather than as a substitute for it. The Professional Report provides students an opportunity to work with two faculty member readers on an in-depth individual research project on a global policy issue.
Section Description
This section meets from October 4 through November 1, 2012.

Curriculum Overview
M. A. in Educational Leadership and the Principal Endorsement
Students must apply to UIS before it is possible to enroll in courses. To be eligible, a student must have completed a bachelor's degree with a grade-point average of 3.00 or better on a 4.00 scale. Other admissions requirements for the Principal Endorsement include a candidate portfolio and interview with two faculty members. A student can be conditionally admitted if the GPA is between 2.50 and 3.00. Conditional admission means that the student must achieve a GPA of 3.00 or better in the first eight hours of course work in the EDL program. If a student achieves the required GPA within those first eight hours, he or she will be fully admitted to the program. Transfer credit is evaluated on a course-by-course basis with the faculty adviser and approval of the EDL department chair.
Applicants working toward the Principal Endorsement must hold a valid state-issued educator license and must have taught at least two years to apply. Those holding a school service personnel license must also have worked at least three years to apply. A photocopy of the license should be submitted at the time of application to the EDL department.
All admission materials must be received before July 15 for admission to the educational leadership master's degree program for the fall semester, before November 15 for the spring semester, and before May 1 for the summer session. Late applications will be considered.
PLEASE NOTE: If you would like information about current Tuition and Fees, be sure to go to this page for official information.

Iain Duncan Smith helps to raise £1m for Nightingale
November 15, 2011
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith was the guest speaker at a fundraising dinner for Nightingale. More than 500 guests gathered at the City's Guildhall on Monday evening to hear the MP share his views on the Big Society and Jewish philanthropy: "You look after your family and your community, and you make sure one generation has responsibility for the next." Speaking of his admiration for Nightingale, he said the south London care home, "should get all the praise it is possible to give". The dinner raised more than £1 million for the running of the home.

So there's someone special in your life, and drat it all to hell, you are not someone special in their life. You are, in fact, a pretty mediocre type of someone, a flat grayish ordinary kind of blur in their life who is around and is inoffensive and that's about it. You are, as the great thinkers of our age have dubbed it, in the "friend zone," and would like nothing more than to get out of this horrible zone and have that special someone love you and sit on you.
Photodisc/Getty Images
You'll note that I'm keeping this advice gender-neutral, because despite how creepily male-oriented the available literature is, love can go unrequited in both directions. So whether your object of desire is a boy, girl, or cleverly modified stuffed animal, I hope you'll find some wisdom here that you might not find elsewhere. Because there's a lot of bad advice out there. Indeed, there's a cottage industry of men with one too many shirt buttons undone full of tips on how to traverse from this dreaded Friend Zone into the Heavy Petting District.
None of which works a goddamn, resulting in no one sitting on you at all.
Photodisc/Getty Images
Almost all of this advice relies on the premise that this friend of yours is just waiting for the right combination of words to activate them, like some kind of passive lust receptacle. The whole idea of "escaping the friend zone" denies these people their own sense of agency; nowhere is it ever considered that, if someone's known you long enough to become your friend and they haven't sat on you yet, there might be a reason for it.
Medioimages/Photodisc/Getty Images
It's your flaws. Your flaws are the reason.
No, the way you want to get out of the friend zone (getting sat on) is basically impossible. But if you simply just want to get rid of your friends? Shit, that's easy! So with that in mind, below I've compiled some of the advice various oily experts have offered on how to escape the friend zone, explained why it won't work, and then offered an alternative technique that will allow you to more rapidly escape the friend zone in the other direction.

To Enemy Land, via the Creepy Weirdo Provinces.
4The Experts Say: Improve Yourself
Sexual attraction is somewhat cruel in how much it focuses on physical appearance while ignoring your many other qualities, like how good of a coder you might be or how organized your teddy bear collection is. But it's a fact of life, and one of the most common pieces of advice for navigating a friend zone is to simply make yourself better looking. By disguising yourself as a more attractive person ...
John Shearer/Sebastian Artz/Joe Scarnici/Andrew H. Walker/Getty Images Entertainment
... you might be able to make your friend reconsider you as a sexual being.
How It Works in Reality:
There is an element of truth to this. Physical appearance matters, and there's a very good chance that when you first met your special friend, he or she just wasn't that physically attracted to you. Making yourself more attractive won't hurt, but you have to remember: first impressions count, and you made yours long ago. A cool haircut or shiny new shirt is likely to at most get you a compliment on your new haircut or shirt shininess before your friend gets on with their day's agenda.
Goodshoot/Getty Images
Better Idea: Worsen Yourself
An even faster way out of the friend zone is to file the edges of whatever qualities made this person like you in the first place. Start dressing like someone who always gets a seat to himself on the bus. Go to the gym, but not to work out. Go there to eat in the smallest clothes you own.
Creatas/Getty Images
"Could use a spotter here!"
Then get yourself a bottle of AXE body spray. Apply it. All of it. Ideally, you want the AXE to visibly emanate off of you in little wavy lines.
If you're not causing building evacuations and mysterious waves of bird deaths, you didn't apply enough.
Don't worry, this advice works for girls, too (in that it will endanger the life of anyone you walk near, male or female). Did that work? Or do you still have a useless, pointless friend, stubbornly willing to stand by you in your darkest, reekiest moment? In that case, maybe you should try ...
3The Experts Say: Play Hard to Get
Another thing that makes us look attractive is how other people treat us. If you perceive that someone is cool, popular, and attractive to others, you are almost certainly going to find them more attractive yourself. The idea behind this tip, then, is that by flirting with other people (successfully), you'll make yourself look more attractive. This is theorized to also make your friend feel competitive; if they believe you're spending every waking moment imagining someone else covered in rose petals, they might suddenly develop the urge to buy some rose petals themselves.
Hemera Technologies/Photos.com/Getty Images
Or whatever.
How It Works in Reality:
This is surprisingly the most useful technique here, but not in the way you intended. Again, you're really unlikely to offset that first impression you've made, and seeing you romantically pursue someone else will make most friends happy for you.
George Doyle/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Rather than pants-happy for you.
No, the reason this advice is so useful is that, if it works, you'll have met someone else who doesn't know you well enough to avoid you yet.
But that still leaves you with a pointless non-sexual friend, doesn't it? How to get rid of them?
Better Idea: Borrow Tons of Money from Them
Money is a classic way to end friendships. By borrowing ever increasing amounts from that special someone in your life, you'll create an awkward, uncomfortable rift between the two of you that can never be healed. Ultimately, your goal here is not to play hard to get so much as hard to get hold of.
Jupiterimages/Stockbyte/Getty Images
They may actually be counting on this, too.

The average cost for a Automatic Transmission Fluid Change is between $118 and $249. Labor costs are estimated between $70 and $89 while parts are priced between $48 and $160. Get a personalized estimate based on your location and specific car. Estimate does not include taxes and fees.
Automatic Transmission Fluid Change Cost for Nissan 300ZX
Automatic Transmission Fluid Change Estimate (National Average)
We recommend changing the transmission fluid every 30,000–40,000 miles under normal conditions. If the transmission has a filter, that should be replaced as well. If you operate your vehicle under severe conditions (e.g. extreme weather, towing, or a lot of stop-and-go traffic), the transmission should be serviced every 20,000–30,000 miles.
Your repair shop may recommend a transmission fluid flush, which will require up to 16 quarts of transmission fluid. This will increase the parts and labor price when compared to a normal drain and fill of the transmission.
Why Should It Be Serviced?
it's important to have the automatic transmission serviced at the manufacturer's recommend interval. Transmission performance can be affected by dirty or old transmission fluid. Lack of service may result in one or more of these symptoms:
- Grinding or strange noises from the transmission

When Should It Be Serviced?
We recommend replacing the transmission fluid every 20,000 to 40,000 miles. Having it serviced at these intervals will help reduce the chance of any related drivability concerns. Please consult your owners manual for their recommendation for your specific vehicle.
How It's Done
To replace the automatic transmission fluid, the transmission drain plug is removed, allowing the fluid to drain from the transmission. The drain plug is reinstalled and the transmission is filled with fresh fluid.
Caution: On vehicles where the fluid is extremely degraded, replacing the fluid can result in transmission shifting issues. If your vehicle has not had routine transmission service performed, please consult with your service technician before performing this service on a high mileage vehicle.
