Re: TONY AND HIS RACE TEAM.........
Heard Smoke was LIVID with Addington on the radio last night. Was anyone listening to the scanner and confirm?
All things Tony

I had heard it on some previous races, but, last night when Tony mentioned doing something, Addington comes back with : "we'll talk about it after the race". What the H is that about??? Don't talk about it............do what your driver's asking! And don't wait until after the race!!! Jeeesh!! It was after that Tony went on his lecture about not being able to keep up with the others in any race. You could just feel his frustration and it made me feel bad for him because Addington really, really didn't respond to him. I know you probably have to have some self control as a CC, but I'm starting to think Addington is too laid back. And then in the end its Tony, sounding very down and out, who is apologizing to everyone (or sort of to his pit crew) that he is not able to do one tenth what they are doing. His pit crew does seem to be one bright spot most of the time.
Did y'all here him say that "the married couple" were trying to wreck on another?? LOL

I am baffled how this car can be raced and practiced and tested and there can not be a change made that makes it drive better or faster.

I wonder if "stowe" could be a corruption of "stope":
5< MLowG stope, akin to STEP6 a steplike excavation formed by the removal of ore from around a mine shaft
vt., vi.
stoped, stop4ing to mine in stopes

The OED doesn't identify any connection with stope. Both being mining terms I suppose there may be some common roots.

I saw a fascinating documentary on Discovery about the great plague of 1666 and Eyam just before Christmas. Eyam is still fairly isolated and there are a lot of people living there now who are descended from the survivors of the plague outbreak. Geneticists and immunologists have studied their genes and found a particular gene which may be responsible for their ancestors' survival. Those with one copy of the gene from a parent caught the plague but recovered, while those with two copies, one from each parent, were immune and did not catch the plague at all. This gene apparently is present in about 14% of people of European descent because of the repeated plague outbreaks but very rare in people originating from elsewhere. The same gene also gives immunity from AIDS in the same way. If you have one copy you get HIV but survive much longer than other people, if you have two copies you don't get HIV.

the book is a fictionalize account, paying attention to some details, and changing others.. for instance the pastor who suggest the quarrenteen, in truth, had two daughters, that he sent away before it started, in the fictionalized story, he and his wife are childless.
likewise, the pastors wife dies of plague, but in the fiction, she gets it, surrives, and its later killed in an accident.
the bit about the man who was burried alive is a true, but there is no record of who the gravedigger was, or what was done to him, in the fiction, the gravedigger is the miner who has his hand impalled with a knife an a stowe.
since all the 'thoughts and emotions' are made up anyway, (most of the town was illiterate, and there are very few written records of the goings ons.) the author made the whole thing a work of fiction. Still its very good.
at times, the characters seem to modern, but then again, they did live in times were even in small village, they would know what was happening in the greater part of brittin, (Cromwell would have been hard to miss!) so for many, things were changing, and as the auther has said, in time of change, great characters can emerge.
the narrator is the rectors part time housemaid (who according to the pastors records, survived) who is a new widow, (Sam, was her husband and killed in his mine) who is forced to do new things just to survive (like go out to work as a housemaid, and take in borders) the book is as much a record of her journey from frightened young girl, to capably woman as it is the story of the town._________________________

I know this is very late, but I just read the book. Check this link: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Citations:stowe Essentially, and I'm paraphrasing, a "stowe" is used to claim possession of a mine/seam. A "stowe" preserves a miner's possession for three weeks. The barmaster sets his "nick" on the spindle of the "stowe", thereby formally granting ownership for three weeks. If the barmaster nicks it 3 times (3, 6, or 9 weeks) the claim can be removed from the miner. If the claim remains for a certain period unwrought, unless by wind or water, the claim can also be removed from the miner and granted to another. Hence the author's sentence "I told them they did not need to wait again, for three weeks, six weeks, or nine" and "those who cannot pull a dish of lead within three nicks may not keep it" - three nicks being the equivalent of nine weeks.

MLBlogs Announces 2010 Top Bloggers
MLBlogs has announced the top blogs for the year 2010 and Phillies Phollowers has been ranked #9 out of all Fan MLBlogs for all teams. In the Beat-Writer category, Todd Zolecki's Zo Zone ranked #1! And in the Pro category, Larry Shenk's Phillies Insider landed at #22 for the year. Congrats to Larry and Todd for a great year of blogging!
As for myself, landing in the Top Ten is a huge honor. Out of all the Phillies Fan Blogs on the site, I have had the priveledge of holding the #1 spot for 3 straight years now. That would not be possible without everyone who has stopped by to read my little rants.
I would like to send out a huge "THANK YOU!" to all of my readers! I have made many new friends through this site as well. These amazing people come from all over the world and share my great passion for baseball.
I decided to jot down a few reasons why I blog about the Phillies for your entertainment:
– As a freelance writer and high school English instructor, blogging is a great way to keep your mind fresh and full of new ideas.
– The voices in my head told me to do it.
– I grew tired of yelling, in vain, at the TV set. This seemed more cathartic.
– I just knew I could make the world a better place both with my photography and photoshopping skills :O)
– This is a nice, safe place to vent when my team decides to suck. Misery loves company.
– This is a nice, fun place to celebrate when my team doesn't suck. Virtual hugs for everyone!
– My Dad doesn't like baseball. I am such a rebel. Also, it proves I must be adopted ;o)
– Simply, to connect and share with other baseball fans!
– Writing is like hiking through the jungle without a destination in mind. You never know who or what you will meet or where you will end up. It is the ultimate adventure. And just like baseball, anything can happen.
Congratulations to all of the MLBloggers who made the Top 100 of 2010! This takes a lot of time and dedication. Be proud of all you have accomplished!

Congratulations Jenn! Well deserved! We love your writing, your photos and your photoshop. I still think of the cruise you took with your boys in Red last year. Looking forward to more of your posts!
Congrats on achieving the Top 10 and the #1 Phillies blog! Now…which is better?

Perhaps it's not all that surprising. Any government agency set up with a mission to regulate some aspect of commercial life develops an institutional imperative to regulate ever more aspects.
So the Federal Communications Commission, which was barred by law in 1984 from regulating cable television — to give the industry a chance to grow and develop — now wants to start regulating the industry with a vengeance.
It would be difficult to imagine a better way to stifle the growing array of choices consumers have available for viewing television programming.
What might let the FCC get its nose under cable's tent is a portion of the 1984 Cable Act, which said that if cable television becomes available to 70 percent of U.S. households, and 70 percent of those who can subscribe to cable do so, the industry then can be regulated.
There is controversy as to whether that threshold has been reached. The FCC's report in 2005 put the number of cable subscribers at 54 percent, while a cable industry-sponsored study this year puts it at 58 percent.
But a recent court decision defined TV service offered by a phone company over fiber optic cable as being cable. If subscribers to Verizon and other phone company TV services are included, that could push the number of cable subscribers to more than 70 percent.
That highlights the fact that the marketplace now offers more competition than regulation could facilitate. The phone companies are getting into providing television transmission, in addition to the satellite providers. More and more people are getting TV shows over the Internet.
Heavy-handed federal regulation is more likely to stifle this kind of innovation than to encourage it.
Even though the "70/70" provision was written into law in 1984, it lacks the kind of justification whereby the FCC, back during the New Deal enthusiasm for creating new regulatory agencies, was given authority over broadcasting.
The airwaves over which signals are sent, the rationale went, "belong to the public," which means the government can decide who can use them and how.
This was a stretch — the airwaves are part of nature, which doesn't necessarily imply that somebody in a government office has more right than anybody else to decide how they shall be used — and it involved government in regulatory micromanagement that would never have been tolerated in the print media.
But at least there was a rationale.
Cables, however, are privately funded and privately owned, which gives the government no legitimate authority to regulate how they are used, except possibly in the unlikely event legitimate health or safety issues arise.
The fact that Congress passed a law in 1984 asserting a regulatory "right" if certain arbitrary numbers are reached doesn't change these facts, and if the FCC does start asserting regulatory authority we expect a court challenge.
The other problem is the kinds of regulations the FCC is thinking about imposing — in the apparent belief that people in offices in Washington, D.C., know what consumers want better than consumers, through their choices in a highly competitive marketplace, reveal about their preferences — would almost certainly make the industry less competitive rather than more so.
For example, the FCC is said to want to force programming providers to stop "bundling" their programming — offering cable companies popular channels like MTV only if they also take less-watched channels like Spike. There's also talk of forcing cable companies to offer subscribers an "a la carte" system, letting them pick just the individual channels they want rather than the packages the cable company assembled.
But you can see how this might lead to less diversity rather than more. The present system makes for a variety of channels that serve relatively small niches but "piggyback" on more popular channels. If each channel had to rely on individual subscriptions at both the consumer and local cable company end, some might well not survive.
The impulse to extend one's empire seems virtually universal, especially in government. If the FCC is unable to resist this impulse and pushes into cable television, the industry should push back.

Rodeph Shalom Heralds Start of Building Expansion
Religious school students, parents, board members and other congregants from Rodeph Shalom gathered outside the historic synagogue on the northern edge of Center City Sunday to mark the groundbreaking of a $16 million renovation and expansion project.
Donors and board members have been campaigning for the expansion for more than three years to keep up with growing membership ranks. But they've also reined in their plans since the spring, reducing a proposed 27,000 square foot addition to 16,000 square feet.
The new wing will contain a multipurpose meeting room, administrative offices and early learning center. Earlier this fall, synagogue leaders conducted a study to see if it would make sense to designate part of the new structure for a day school, but decided that it wouldn't be feasible. The project also includes upgraded landscaping, security, elevators and stairwells, as well as a new entranceway with a drop-off driveway.
More than 300 congregants donated to the effort, which will ideally be completed in time for the 2014 High Holidays, said Tom Perloff, director of development and finance.

Not yet…But Soon You Can Bet
8/27/10 Dodgers vs Rockies Game One
Weather: 88 degrees, partly cloudy.
Wind: 5 mph, Out to CF.
Att: 41,964.
It's been a while since I've been to a game or at least if feels that way. I had tickets but had to miss Tuesday and Wednesday's games due to an injury. I really hate that.
I discovered something called sciatica. Not fun stuff especially if you enjoy having feeling in your legs.
Because of this, I'll have to change my snagg'n game plan, at least until I'm back to 100%. Instead of being able to run and chase baseballs, I'll have to use my superior tracking skills to be a little more choosy on the batting practice snags I attempt.
Such is life I guess…Gett'n old sucks.
Today I got lucky and snagged the first one of BP within a minute of entering the pavilion. It was a fairly easy catch, the only hiccup was manuevering between the seats to get to the rail in time.
I gave that ball to a young Rockies fan who was nearby. I can always use karma points :).
Shortly after my handoff, Rant Regular Ken snagged a Tulowitzki BP homer.
Here's video of it shot by Dan
I believe Ken's total for the day was two, nice job.
Mike is back from his big East Coast baseball trip.
He mentioned he took a thousand pictures including some of "interesting fans" along the way..
Here's a few of Mike's pictures…PNC Park
Thanks for sharing Mike!
Starting pitcher today is Ubaldo Jiminez aka known as"Nasty Fasty" here on the Rant...
Here's Nasty Fasty doing the Pre-Game Walk of Shame
(If you listen closely, you'll hear me tell Ubaldo he has nothing to be ashamed about)
I couldn't tell if Franklin was staring me down or posing?
Here's Tulowitzki playing his "I have a ball and you don't game" with the fans.
Today's game had a movie theme. I really got a kick out of these.
Here are a few random game pictures.
Nice to see Helton can still Belt'em.
Todd hits his 5th homerun of the season in the second inning with two out.
Blake's grand slam in the 8th really killed the whole mood.
The Dodgers have owned the Rockies the last couple of years.
I was really hoping the Rockies would pull this one off for Ubaldo. I wanted to be able to say I was at the game where Ubaldo achieved his 18th win.
But not this time. Rockies lose to the Dodgers at Coors field with a final score of 6-2.
The hunt for Ubaldo's 18th win continues…Where will it happen?
I'm "D" The Rockpile Ranter,
and I wanna see Nasty do it here at Coors.

Hey man, sorry you're not feeling so great. Hope you're on the rebound soon! * I have seen Tulo (assisted by Stewie) playing that very game. Haha. * I think you can take Frankie. * Those movie shots rock!! * Next game Sept. 8. Hope we can catch up with ya.
LUVMYROX-Thanks, I'm already feel'n better. The theme stuff this season has been fun, nice touch by the Rockies. My next game will be this Thursday, that one game against the Phillies…D
D – Good to see you at the game and glad to hear that you are feeling better. Don't work too hard at work it is killing your favorite hobby. Thanks for posting the video of me catching that ball that Tulo hit during BP. At first it didn't see the ball until I realized I was standing nearly in the right spot. Good BP as I was able to snag a ground rule double from Manny as well.
Too bad Ubaldo didn't get his 18th. I think he will get it Wednesday in San Francisco as the Rox take the series from the Giants. Why didn't Tracy take him out after the 7th? If a Manager can get an error Tracy deserved one there.
Loved the movie theme on the player intros. I think my favorite was Dex. What time is the game on Thursday against the Phillies?
– Ken
Love it when a team's game day promotional department can be creative and poke a bit of fun with the players and not go overboard. Seen a few over the top displays over the years, but I loved the movie idea. Kudos to the Rockies staff for getting the perfect movie with the right guy. Especially like "The Toddfather" and "Dude, Where My Cargo?".
See my buddy Hambone (Jason Hammel) has acclimated himself quite well within the Rockies rotation. Glad to see him having a great year.

Hi D – great blog once again. Sorry you're not feeling well, but it'll get better. My comment is I've been checking your page daily for the last week just to see when you've posted something new. Now it says August 27th, but I didn't see it until today! I feel better because all of the other comments are from today too, so it just must be the cosmos.
BTW Thursday Sept 2nd game time is 5:10PM Ken. Hope to see you all there soon!
Hey D,
Nice sunflowers.
That's a drag about the sciatica, I know it's extremely painful. Hope you're fully recovered by next year. Can you believe this season is almost over???
Luv the movie theme for the game. Troy Story was a hoot.
Looking forward to seeing you on the 12th.
Hey that Great Blue Heron was suppose to be Hosers from the Long Island Ducks Game. But it is a famous heron that has been stalked for weeks by birders. I just stumbled into him that day. The correct photo is on the way. Thanks for posting them.

During the first 4 months I had so much milk I had to wear pads constantly to soak up the leaks. My baby is now 6 months and for the past 6-8 weeks my breasts are never full and I never have to wear pads. For over a month my breasts are nothing but small and soft. When my baby feeds, I feel like there is nothing there to give him.
Has my body stopped producing enough milk? I hear my son swallowing initially but it doesn't seem to last long. What happened to my body?
I've fed on demand the entire time and my baby's feeding patterns have not recently changed. I don't understand and I am worried that my son will not receive enough milk especially during this hot summer weather when he needs more fluids than he normally would.
My baby is very interested in cups and reaches for food from our plates so I want to introduce cereal. I purchased the type that you mix with breast milk, but now I am concerned that I cannot spare any milk. What do you think?
Should I buy the cereal that doesn't allow you to choose the milk source but to which you only add water?
How do I get my body to kick back into gear! I'm staying well hydrated, and my diet hasn't changed.
Thanks for any help...

"Christ's Hospital has definitely helped me to develop a strong desire to go to university and study an outstanding course. You are encouraged to work hard and to do well. I have been given every opportunity to flourish and grow both as a student and a person."
"When you start at Christ's Hospital don't be afraid to join in, it only takes one hobby to spark a commitment for a lifetime. With all the facilities nearby and the staff living on site we have the luxury of pastoral care and academic rigour going hand in hand. I don't think any other school could prepare me better for university."
"I chose to come to Christ's Hospital as I thought it would be a once in a lifetime opportunity. Boarding was new for me but the friendships I have made are invaluable. I was drawn to the unique traditions and the uniform and I wanted to be part of it."

Valentine's Day is upon us: That oh so magical time of year synonymous with red roses, chocolates in a box, and teddy bears holding hearts. Forgot to make a plan? You are not alone and thankfully the romance experts at Farmhouse Inn are here to help. We have declared February as the Month of Romance (why limit to a single day?) and the Sonoma wine country is perfect for a romantic getaway. Whether surprising your loved one with a last minute romantic interlude or adding on some delightful extras to an already-planned trip, we are here to make sure that your Valentine's Day amounts to more than bad candy or even worse; bad champagne. We have a 3 step plan that will make you look like a hero this Valentine's Day Weekend.
Step One: Book a room and dinner! These reservations are highly prized and extremely hard to get at the last minute, particularly at stops that already have a reputation for romance (we swear we're not tooting our own horn….). Our restaurant fills up fast but lucky for you we hold back some tables for hotel guests – I know, we think of everything. Can't make it the actual holiday weekend but still looking to do a getaway? No problem. Now through the end of March we're offering our Winter Getaway / 3rd Night Free special. This gives you plenty of time to plan – because you didn't forget…. you just wanted to be sure it was perfect…. and special…. We promise to back you up at check in.
Step Two: Do the unexpected! Surprise and delight your loved one with add-ons they know nothing about. Be it a Sommelier-led wine tour, a romantic tub turndown or a couple's massage, these added touches go a long way. What is a Sommelier-led wine tour you ask? Imagine having a private driver pick you up at Farmhouse Inn where you're met in the car by one of wine country's hottest sommeliers to guide you through a day of private tastings at the most exclusive wineries. And you'll enjoy a gourmet picnic lunch along the way, of course.
If you're not one for visiting tasting rooms and still want to spark the romance, no problem – consider our candlelight tub turndown. While you're at dinner we'll set the mood – rose petals, artisan chocolate truffles, candlelight, bubbles in the tub and a bottle of champagne on ice. And to cap off a romantic weekend don't forget a visit to the spa. Our cozy couple's room is the perfect place to unwind and relax before returning to the real world.
Step Three: Go big or go home! Perhaps this all sounds fine and dandy but you're looking for something bigger, grander- the most romantic surprise ever. Well lucky for you, Farmhouse Inn hosts beautiful, intimate elopements for the couple seeking a moment they can call uniquely their own. We do everything from finding an officiant and photographer to ordering the cake and the flowers. All you have to do is show up (bring rings), enjoy a couple's massage and dinner for two at the Farmhouse restaurant, and when the time comes, say 'I do!'. (Or...not quite ready yet? How about a romantic proposal?)
If you're more of an "I don't want to think about it" type of person than we have one final suggestion. The whole month of February we're offering half off of our romance package. The romance package includes champagne, artisan truffles, romantic floral arrangement, spa and a little souvenir of your stay. Book your three nights on the Winter Getaway special and add this on and you're all set. You'll go from being in the dog house to rock star status in one weekend. Amazing what a little 3 day weekend away can do for you.

Ill. man leads high-speed chase in 4 Wis. counties
Authorities in western Wisconsin say an Illinois driver who led officers on a high-speed chase across four counties has been arrested.
A WEAU-TV report says the Wisconsin State Patrol tried to pull over the driver Monday about 1:30 a.m. when he sped away. Troopers say he led officers on a chase through Eau Claire, Buffalo, Pepin and Dunn counties.
The pursuit also included a short detour into a corn field.
Dunn County deputies finally stopped his vehicle by using spike strips to deflate his tires. He was taken into custody, about an hour after the initial stop attempt.
The man was identified as a 40-year-old from South Beloit, Ill.

What are your thoughts on running at Texas Motor Speedway in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series?
"I've been to Texas Motor Speedway a few times. I was fast there in a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series car last year, so I can't wait to get there. Our Las Vegas Motor Speedway run should lay over to Texas Motor Speedway for qualifying and hopefully, we can better ourselves for the race. It's a fast, rough track and I enjoy those."
How does Texas Motor Speedway compare to Las Vegas Motor Speedway and other 1.5-mile tracks?
"Each mile-and-a-half track has a little bit of a different character. Texas Motor Speedway is similar to Las Vegas Motor Speedway with less banking, but you're still carrying tons of speed. Turns three and four at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Texas Motor Speedway are very similar. Turns one and two at Las Vegas have more banking."
Paul Menard
No. 27 Quaker State/Menards Chevrolet SS
Event Preview Fact Sheet
This Week's Quaker State/Menards Chevrolet at Texas Motor Speedway ... Paul Menard will pilot chassis No. 454 this weekend at the 1.5-mile oval in Ft. Worth, Texas. This Chevrolet SS was last used at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this year where Menard scored a third-place finish.

What are your thoughts on racing at Texas Motor Speedway?
"What can you say about Texas Motor Speedway that hasn't already been said in regards to how fast it is around that place? We're going to need a good set-up under our Quaker State Chevrolet to get through the turns and great horsepower from ECR Engines to be successful. Our 1.5-mile track program has been getting better and better since late last year. I'm looking forward to seeing what we can do this weekend at Texas and keep our momentum going in the right direction."
Ryan Newman
No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet SS

Texas Two Step ... Newman is looking to capture his second-career victory at the 1.5-mile quad-oval when he makes his 22nd NASCAR Sprint Cup Series start at the Fort Worth, Texas venue.

What are your thoughts on Texas Motor Speedway?
"Texas Motor Speedway is a good track race-wise. It provides drivers with a lot of options. You can move around and find a line that your car responds to and it's really versatile so you can get around somebody. It's also fast- really fast - so aero is also an important part of it and it's nice to have that ability to move around. With it being one of the older tracks on the circuit asphalt-wise, the racing will be good for both the drivers and the fans watching in the stands and on television."
What is your opinion on lowering the horsepower of Cup engines?
"I do not want to see our horsepower lowered. It's nice to have the driver play an important part in making the race car handle. That is what the right foot is for. If we start holding it wide open, then anybody can come out here and drive. Instead of lowering horsepower, I believe we should take the downforce off the car so it requires the driver to pedal the car. To me, it's like watching drag racing. The best drag races are when it's a pedal fest ... the guys are spinning and smoking the tires. I think we should have that ability too. I hope nothing changes."

Tables can be set up for vendors as booths and there will be no charge to have one. But we will insist that all fill out a form to register to do so and if you want to bring your own table that would be helpful also. These forms are available in the chamber office or we can fax or e-mail one if you call the office and let us know that you are interested. That way we can make sure that there is room for all who would like to participate as a vendor. Again, there is no charge to have a booth/table for your items to sell. So, we are happy to invite all who wish to participate to keep looking for more information.
An event coming next that you are invited to is the April 12 Second Friday Breakfast. This truly will be a unique one. Our main host and sponsor will be Daniel Blecher, Associate Vice President-Financial Advisor of RBC Wealth Management and it will be held at Jerry B's Restaurant on Hwy 181 at the usual time, 7 a.m. They are helping with the breakfast as well and Dan, being a member of our chamber, has attended many of our 2nd Friday Breakfasts. So mark your calendar for Friday, April 12, and meet your community friends and neighbors for a neat and special get-together.
Remember to keep looking for more information about our Family Fun Day, Saturday, May 4 and consider having a booth in the park.
'Til next time, Cathy Passmore.

Today is World Water Day. A day to reflect on the importance of water in all of our lives and steps we can take to preserve the world's most precious resource.
To mark World Water Day, the U.S. Department of State did just that. We took a moment to talk about the world's water challenges and highlight some of the emerging technologies that can help us bring clean, safe water to those in the world currently without. We called the event U.S. Tech H2.O.
Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy and the Environment Catherine Novelli kicked off the event with a wakeup call to us all on the importance of reliable water supplies for economic development, health, and peace and security. The President's Science Advisor John Holdren highlighted the power of science and technology to address global water challenges. U.S. Agency for International Development's Chris Holmes announced the semi-finalists for the Securing Water For Food Grand Challenge For Development, a contest that encourages people around the world to develop solutions to food shortages and poverty through game-changing water technologies and new water management approaches.
Our work doesn't end when World Water Day is over. From water to climate change, Secretary Kerry is making the environment a top priority on our foreign policy agenda. During his visit to the Mekong Delta in December 2013, he announced an initial commitment of $17 million for USAID's Vietnam Forest and Deltas Program, which will help the region reverse environmental degradation and adapt to the impacts of climate change, including saltwater intrusion. One of the greatest impacts of climate change will likely be on the hydrological cycle. Greater variability in rainfall will probably increase the number and severity of floods and droughts. Rising sea levels, storm surges, flood damage, and saltwater intrusion are projected to threaten human lives and livelihoods both directly and through diminished freshwater supplies. Technology and innovative approaches can mitigate these impacts.
The United States is committed to building a water secure future. Our goal is a future where no child dies from a water-related disease; no girl fears going to the bathroom or collecting water; and that no war is fought over water.
Everyone must be part of the solution. It's up to us, and to you, to work together to find solutions to the global water challenge.
To learn more about the water technologies shown at the exhibit, stay tuned to our Facebook page.
For more information about the Department of State's work on water, please visit our website.

Portion of Montpelier building collapses in windStefan Hard
On a windy Sunday afternoon, Montpelier police and fire personnel look up to where a long wooden board and numerous bricks fell from the topmost portion of the building housing Aubuchon Hardware in Montpelier. See page B1. Staff Photo
MONTPELIER — Gusting winds and deteriorating mortar are believed to be to blame for the Sunday afternoon collapse of a portion of a crumbling brick parapet wall atop the historic downtown building that houses Aubuchon Hardware.
Fire Chief Robert Gowans said roughly a dozen bricks, a 12-foot section of two-by-four, and some copper flashing all fell to the sidewalk at about 2:30 p.m. No one was hurt, he said, and emergency personnel quickly cordoned off the sidewalk and seven parking spaces in front of the building and summoned a structural engineer.
Representatives of DeWolfe Engineering responded to the scene and removed loose brick in two or three areas along the parapet wall, which extends roughly 3 feet above the roofline of the building, owned by the Aubuchon family.
A tarp was placed over the wall, and Gowans said the sidewalk and parking spaces were kept off limits as a precaution overnight. He said representatives from DeWolfe planned to return to the building and conduct a more thorough analysis and consult the building's owner before deciding how to proceed.
According to Gowans, a decision about whether to reopen the sidewalk would likely be made by midmorning.
A pedestrian reportedly alerted emergency personnel that the bricks were falling Sunday.
According to Gowans, it appeared gusting winds got under a section of copper flashing on the roof, toppling some of the brickwork.
"It was very windy," he said.
The parapet wall is an architectural feature of the late-19th-century building but does not have any structural significance, Gowans said.

4 Rules of the New Office Holiday Party
So what are the new rules of the office party? When small businesses are performing a cost-benefit analysis on practically every penny of spending, can they justify the expense of an annual office bash?
With office-party season in full swing, here are the key issues small-business owners should keep in mind when it comes to holiday celebrations:
1. DO ask your staff
While holiday parties can be a good way to reward employees with some free food and time off work, they aren't necessarily the best use of your money. After all, some offices are more social than others. The best way to assess whether a party makes sense for your particular group of workers is to ask them.
It's something that happens all too rarely. In the vast majority of cases, workers are simply informed about the party rather than being active participants in the planning.
If the general consensus is that employees would rather not have a party, owners or managers can still spread some holiday joy by calculating what the cost of a party would have been, then divvying up that money as bonuses instead.
2. DON'T play bartender
The mild-mannered co-worker who shocks everyone by letting loose at the office party has been a running joke for decades. But the role of alcohol in end-of-year celebrations is one of the trickiest issues company owners and managers must navigate. One increasingly common solution is to schedule a lunch party at which alcohol is simply not on the menu.
If drinks are a must-have element at your company's parties, the most important thing is to limit potential liability. "A business can be sued if an employee drives drunk and has an accident," says human resources consultant Ann Novak, of AP Novak & Associates in Washington, D.C. "If you hire a professional bartender, he or she will have a license and be trained when to tell someone they've had enough to drink."
Sexual harassment is another liability issue that can come up when the drinks start flowing, Novak says. Remind employees in advance that all work policies apply during the event, and have an action plan in place for handling employees who begin to behave inappropriately.
3. DO Promote Teambuilding
Anyone can book a space, order food and call it a party. But unless you have a naturally outgoing, festive bunch of workers, getting everyone involved and interacting can be a challenge.


text: I'm still nursing my 15 month old daughter. Tonight for dinner we had gnocci and pesto sauce (both of which I'm fairly certain she's had before with no reaction, and I've definitely eaten multiple times while nursing). Tonight she showed signs of a mild reaction to the sauce-- red skin where the sauce contacted her skin. It went away within 30 min of eating it, with no other current signs of reaction. Since I also ate the gnocci/pesto, I'm nervous to nurse her. I did call the 24 hour hotline and it went straight to voicemail. Any insight would be hugely helpful- many thanks in advance!

Soldier Returns Home and Surprises Family
Paul and Christa Vollmer are spending their weekend in style.
A trip to the Thompson Park Zoo is on tap.
Unfortunately, their dad, Staff Sgt. Paul Vollme,r can't join them. He's been stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina for two years.
At least, that's what they thought.
Volmer surprised the kids at the zoo, revealing himself as the man inside an otter costume, much to the surprise of Paul and Christa.
After a 20-year career, three tours of duty, Vollmer has retired. He's home now for good.
Unbeknownst to him, his kids have plans for him. "play baseball," said little Paul and Christa chimed in, "go to Chuckie Cheese."
"I'm honored that I was able to serve the country," the elder Vollmer said. "I feel a big sense of accomplishment."
It was an accomplishment celebrated during an afternoon at the zoo: the idea of Paul's and Christa's grandmother.
"I tried to think of a place to have it," Diane Coates said. "I thought of the zoo. The kids love the zoo."
Now that Vollmer is retired, he looks forward to the next part of his life. He plans to take psychology classes at Jefferson Community College.
But for right now, all he wants is his kids. All day. Every day.

My Last Semester
By Dylan Jackson '13
Root Hall, second floor, that one classroom at the top of the stairs to the right with the kind-of-drafty window and that really loud radiator (it hisses, creaks and howls). The 12 of us sit around the long table, our dog-eared copies of The Sound and the Fury scattered in front of us.
Jokes pass, stories go around about winter break (that one really tan girl went somewhere tropical). The nervous tension is a good thing — a class full of senior English majors, balancing the excitement and horror of the beginning of the end of our time on the Hill. It's not exactly an easy last semester ahead.
Senior seminar. This is the culminating course of my career as an English major. It's one final go for all of us, sitting around this table, ready to engage one of the most intricate literary minds of the 20th century.
No big deal, right? It's the Faulkner seminar. I read some Faulkner last semester in U.S. Modernism. I've got this. We're just starting with the Benjy section … just one of the most obtuse 75-page passages I've ever read.
We've got a pretty good stock of literary analysis under our belts, and we're ready to turn this table into our home for the next 15 weeks. And you know, at this point, I kind of love it.
I look to the professor, ready and excited to face my last first challenge.
"So," he says with a smirk on his face, "who knows what's going on?"
Dylan Jackson graduated in May with a major in English and minor in sociology. At Hamilton, he served as captain of the men's crew team, a Writing Center tutor and a deejay at WHCL. He is now working as a copywriter/strategist for an ad agency in Philadelphia.

I am new to this board so I hope you don't mind me dropping in! I have an 11month old who has been ex bfd for the first 6 months when I then began weaning him. He has recently started bitting me and I yelped a couple of days ago and think this may well be why he is now on a nursing strike!
I have had some great support from a LLL person and wondered if there are any stories out there that can help me through this rough patch? I really don't want to end breast feeding this way and would give anything to have my little man feeding again. It's so upsetting for him and me that it has come to an abrupt halt!
I am trying all the skin to skin, bathing together and being relaxed and offering him the breast without forcing (obviously).....is there anything else? I have let him watch other babies feed and let me watch me express. we have tried other nursing positions and places.......
very greatful for any help...........

Hewlett-Packard has posted an advertisement concerning its personal systems group (PSG) and its future. From the ad it is clear that the company wants to spin-off its business unit, personal computers will continue to carry the HP label and firm will continue to support the "startup" that is valued at $40 billion.
With a series of advertisements, HP wants to send the world a clear message: the new organization would be a $40 billion business with the agility and freedom of a start-up. The prospect is very exciting for the new HP PSG company and is rather formidable for the industry. A PC maker of that size, which will no longer be locked into HP's policies and hurt by slow corporate decision making can easily rival and conquer almost any PC maker out there.
"Our preferred course to harness our vision of the future is to build a separate, more agile company. It is time to think like a startup again. It's time to be nimble and revolutionary. It's time again for world-changing innovation. And so, it's time we realized we're at a crossroads in an evolving HP," said Todd Bradley, executive vice president of HP.
Although HP sells two personal computers per second in 170 countries around the world, the company has extremely archaic product line and presently does not address loads of segments of the PC market; for example, the company does not sell stylish notebooks, PCs for gamers and many other types of computers. The company even ceased attempts to popularize its webOS-based gadgets and discontinued its tablets less than two months after the launch.
An interesting question is the reason why HP wants to advertize spinning-off its business. One of the explanations is that the company wants end-users to understand that "the new HP PCs" are coming, so watch out. Another explanation is that HP is looking forward a strategic investor, who could help to boost the PSG once it is independent.

Couple plan to brighten up Evelyn StreetBy Gordon Dritschilo
STaff writer | July 11,2013Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo
The downtown Rutland building comprising 9-13 Evelyn St. has been purchased and is undergoing a new look.Evelyn Street is about to get more colorful.
Shawn and Jamie Pemrick have bought the building at 9-13 Evelyn St., the main structure on the block, and are in the middle of renovating with plans of filling the mostly vacant spaces.
They are also giving it a bright paint job described by the Downtown Rutland Partnership as a throwback to what might have been seen in San Franciscos Haight-Ashbury section.
The Pemricks plan three apartments, space for Shawn Pemricks photography studio and some sort of retail operation. Jamie Pemrick said she will not move her Trace of Lace bridal boutique from North Main Street to the site.
Weve already moved it once and were not doing that again, she said. Were happy with what weve got for that.
The smoke and tattoo shops already in the building will remain put, Pemrick said, and a number of people have looked at the empty storefront that previously housed Chasers bar.
Were looking for more like a restaurant-bistro, baker-type, she said. Were doing a lot of our own marketing.
Pemrick said the building, which has 2,300 square feet available for rental, sold for $135,000. She said they were originally looking to rent space in it for her husbands photo studio, but the price was right to buy.
We got it for a steal, she said. We want to revive downtown. ... For us, its a price thing. Were always looking for something we can fix up, but at a good price.
Michael Coppinger, DRP executive director, said the top level of the building had been used as storage for at least a decade and that the main storefront had been vacant for at least a year and a half.
Pemrick said the color scheme was drawn from a nearby mural.
We wanted to draw positive attention to the building and possibly make it a landmark, maybe draw people to it who want to take pictures, Pemrick said.
The color scheme won approval Wednesday morning from the Architectural Review Board, which is charged with maintaining the historical character of downtown buildings.
The Architectural Review Committee really took into consideration that its a wood structure thats not in the continuous downtown, like Center Street, but a standalone building, Coppinger said, adding that the Pemricks were also restoring some historical aspects of the facade.
I think if it were the Richardson building, next to the Paramount, it would be a different situation,he said. You kind of have a funky-looking neighborhood unto itself over there.

Ex-JP Morgan and Citadel exec lands Nomura role
Nomura has recruited JP Morgan veteran Patrik Edsparr to the board of its London-based securities broker-dealer unit Nomura International.
Edsparr was at JP Morgan for 12 years, leaving in 2008 to help drive a push into securities and investment banking at Chicago hedge fund firm Citadel.
He became a director of Nomura International on January 22 and joins vice-chairman of public policy Sir Andrew Cahn and chairman Kieran Poynter, former chief executive of PwC, as non-executives on the board of the Japanese bank's subsidiary, which handles sales and trading, investment banking, asset and principal finance, and corporate finance and private equity, according to Companies House and Financial Services Register filings.
A spokeswoman for Nomura confirmed Edsparr's appointment.
Other directors of Nomura International include Jeremy Bennett, Nomura's chief executive for Europe, Middle East and Africa.
Edsparr joined JP Morgan in 1996 and held various roles, according to a statement from Citadel in March 2008 announcing his hire as chief executive of its European operations and global head of its fixed income business.
Edsparr was promoted to global chief executive of Citadel's securities unit the following year, but left the group in May 2010.
Citadel founder Kenneth Griffin, in an internal memo at the time, said he didn't "see eye to eye" with Edsparr, citing differences about corporate strategy, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Edsparr could not be reached for comment on his role at Nomura.

And what did he used on Raikage's bodyguard C???? I am talking about this guy: http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/C He fought Danzou after the Raikage and he awakened the Susano in the battle with the Raikage !!!!
Last edited by softkings; 10-13-2012 at 02:12 PM.
he needs two ms for that
but! since he has a rinnegan, which is claimed to have been madara's at some point which evolved from sharingan, is it possible he could use that with his eye to use susanoo, assuming he could.
He needs both of his eyes....but i think due to his MS technique he wouldn't have one
I'm not sure if he would have susanoo even if he did have both of his sharingan. Tobi/obito has said in the manga that eyes that possess the susanoo are rare. I'm not sure if that means that MS is rare or an MS with susanoo is rare. Also for anyone who thinks that obito will have Ama or tsuk if he gets his other eye has not been paying attention to this anime at all. Each eye gains its own power when MS is activated for itachi and sasuke their left eye has Ama. Hence their left eye bleeds when they use it and their right eye has tsuk hence their right eye bleeds, they also gained a third power that requires the use of both eyes. In my opinion if obito got his other eye back from kakashi he would just gain the power that kakashi has with that eye which would be a long range kamui. Would obito gain another ability with both eyes is unclear in my opinion and it may not be susanoo

susano is nothing compared to obito's both eyes. As of now, obito can only teleport things through contact and it's dangerous enough with that "One jutsu" as stated by kakashi. If obito had kakashi's ms, obito would not need to be in contact and use "two" or even awaken another more powerful jutsu. He also has first hokage cell infused with him
then again, obito is not power hungry like madara, orochimaru, kabuto etc etc. If obito had been power hungry he would have stolen kakashi's ms long time ago.
Obito just wants a meaningless world. Just like his life is meaningless without rin. People who can't think, cry, feel anger, love etc. Emotionless
Thewilloffire your a idiot, it never stated in the manga that amaterasu can only be used for good intentions or any of that other crap u said u noob
his space time jutsu works just as well as susanoo would....for defence and then offence as we have already seen countless times....
Sigh, the only way Obito can unlock Susanoo is if he steals his MS back from kakashi, and I doubt that will happen. And to all the people who can't comprehend simple manga, you do not need Tsukiyomi and Amaterasu to unlock Susanoo, Itachi was only referring to himself when he stated following those two abilities, a third power came (Susanoo). You do need two powers, a power in each eye to awaken Susanoo, but not Ama and Tsuki.
No one but Sasuke has been shown using Amaterasu, and he sure as hell doesn't have Tsukiyomi. Do you know what Tsukiyomi is as a technique? In order for it to be Tsukiyomi, the user has to be able to control time and space while in the genjutsu, Sasuke has never done that, so he doesn't have Tsukiyomi, and no, it's not a weaker version because the fact still remains that he can't control time and space. Sasuke's techniques are Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi.
no need for amaterasu and tsukuyumi to use susano..u just need 2 MS eyes to use the ability.:D
tsukiyomi and amaterasu are not prerequisites for susanoo. those two were itachi's special abilities; like obito with kamui, and shiswi (however you spell it) with kotowhatever. The reason we see Sasuke with amaterasu is because itachi gave it to him just before death, this is lightly explained when amaterasu is activated on tobi/obito.
im not saying that madara doesnt have amaterasu, but it is not required for susasnoo, and he hasnt been shown to have it or tsukiyomi.
You need 2 Sharingans, Obito only has 1.
Two MS in both eyes I mean. xD
Ditto > Madara Uchiha
yes u guys are right you need two eyes with ms in them
It states you need tsukyomi and amaterasu activated to gain susanoo the greatest misinterpretation seems to be that tsukyomi has to be exactly the same as Itachis which is false itachi is the only uchiha shown to manipulate time in a genjutsu this does not necessarily mean tsukyomi has to have these same traits e.g.
Itachi was shown using his genjutsu with a finger still able to manipulate time in a genjutsu this was called Ephemeral and was not on the same level as tsukyomi meaning tsukyomi simply is a more powerful form of a genjutsu the user already possesses
So in addition as Sasuke was never this skilled with genjutsu his most powerful genjutsu is to instantly paralyze those who look into his eyes such is the same with madara this could also be classed as tsukyomi as its the users most powerful genjutsu
Also it must be noted in narutoverse they change and have many variations on the name of techniques which is sometimes just made up by the user as with sasukes version of rock lees copied move which sasuke calls "lion combo" and the parent jutsu is "shadow of the dancing leaf" why do i bring this up you ask? This is because of the variation in name of shisuis technique which is also one of the highest forms of genjutsu peformed by the MS.
Its also possible awakening the MS with only one eye present like obito may result in new powers being unlocked in the eye as with kakashis and obitos kamui
So to summarize kishi could explain it like how i have done to fill in the gaps for those who think he may have lost his way and got muddled up, then again there havent been that many people with MS to show as proof of what itachi said is fact and it could be each uchiha has a distinct different ninjutsu and genjutsu with there MS and amaterasu and tsukyomi may merely be just a similar eye technique sasuke and itachi share because they are brothers and other uchihas who unlock the MS get different powers
If you need 2 MS-eyes, then please explain me, why can madara use PREFECT SUSANOO <<<<<< with only 1 MS?
You wanna say Rinnengan = EMS/MS?

A man accused of kicking a police horse is likely kicking himself after police arrested him for attacking the horse and discovered that he was wanted on unrelated warrant.
Police say Joseph Cruz, 29, of Portland, Oregon, ran up to Olin, a law enforcement animal on active duty, and shouted a "karate-like battle cry" before delivering what a spokesman calls "a jumping, double kick" to the horse's right thigh.
Olin was unharmed by the kick, reports the Associated Press.
Cruz was taken into custody for interfering with a law enforcement animal, at which time police discovered he was wanted on an unrelated arrest warrant.

Opposition optimistic after meeting Yanukovychap photo
Protesters use a large slingshot to hurl a Molotov cocktail at police in central Kiev, Ukraine, Thursday.
KIEV, Ukraine The chances of ending the violence that has convulsed the Ukrainian capital are high, a spokeswoman for a top opposition leader said late Thursday after a meeting with the president.
Olha Lappo, a spokeswoman for Arseniy Yatsenyuk, made the statement on his Facebook page Thursday after an hours-long meeting with President Viktor Yanukovych. That came after opposition leaders gave a Thursday evening deadline to make concessions or face renewed clashes.
She did not provide details, but the assessment appeared to be the first sign of progress in resolving the two-month crisis that is threatening to spread well beyond Kiev.
However, some protesters were resistant on Thursday night. Opposition leader Vitali Klitschko, one of those who met with Yanukovych, went to the site of clashes to try to persuade demonstrators to hold to an uneasy truce, but was booed and some cried Shame!
The demonstrators again set aflame barricades of tires that had been quenched when opposition leaders offered the deadline.
The clash site is a few hundred meters (yards) away from the protester tent camp on Independence Square, where around-the-clock demonstrations have been held since early December.
At least two people were killed by gunfire at the clash site on Wednesday. Demonstrators had pelted riot police with barrages of stones and set police buses on fire, while the officers responded with rubber bullets, tear gas and stun grenades.
Enraged protesters stormed government offices in three western Ukraine cities Thursday, forcing one governor to write a letter of resignation, as demonstrations intensified outside Kiev.
The president called a special session of parliament next week to discuss the tensions, telling the parliament speaker: The situation demands an urgent settlement. But there was no indication that the move represented a compromise, since the presidents backers hold a majority of seats.
The protests began after Yanukovych turned away from closer ties with the European Union in favor of getting a bailout loan from Russia. They turned violent this week after he pushed through harsh anti-protest laws, rejecting protesters demands that he resign and call new elections.
Support for Yanukovych is virtually non-existent in western Ukraine and most residents want closer ties to the 28-nation EU.
In Lviv, a city in near the Polish border 450 kilometers (280 miles) west of Kiev, hundreds of activists burst Thursday into the office of regional governor Oleh Salo, a Yanukovych appointee, shouting Revolution! and singing Christmas carols.
After surrounding him and forcing him to sign a resignation letter, an activist ripped it out of Salos hands and lifted it up to the cheers and applause of the crowd. Salo later retracted his signature, saying he had been coerced.
Meanwhile, hundreds of protesters smashed windows, broke doors and stormed into the governors office in the city of Rivne, shouting Down with the gang! a common reference to Yanukovychs government. Once inside, they sang the national anthem.
Angry crowds also besieged government offices in other western regions.
Meanwhile, anger spread after a video was released online appearing to show police abusing and humiliating a naked protester in what looked like a location close to the site of the Kiev clashes.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

A father and daughter were killed early Tuesday morning in Waipahu after a fast-moving fire engulfed their two-story home at 94-415 Apowale Street.
The Honolulu Fire Department responded to the fire at 12:45 a.m. When fire fighters entered the home about 35 minutes later, two bodies were found on the ground floor, one near the entrance, the other toward the rear. The two deaths were the first fire fatalities on Oahu this year.
Neighbors identified the victims as 84-year-old Haruki "Harry" Tokita, and his oldest daughter, Karen Tokita, believed to be in her mid 50s.
"It's a shame that such a nice person and the daughter would pass away," said Eileen Soneda, who lives across the street. "I've known him for 50 years, and I never saw him with a mad face; he was always so pleasant."
When fire crews arrived at the scene, the home was already engulfed in flames. Fire department spokesman Capt. Terry Seelig said a 51-year-old man was standing near the burning home, and had to be pulled away by police. Neighbors identified him as Randy Tokita, the elderly victim's son. He was taken to a local hospital for observation.
Pastor Steven Wygle of Lanakila Baptist Church and School on nearby Waipahu Street, told KITV4 Harry Tokita had been a member of the congregation since 1969. Tokita served as the church's senior deacon, and had come to be known affectionately as the "Candy Man." Wygle said Tokita would give away sweets to parishioners every Sunday morning.
"Every time he came to church, he always had a big pocketful of candy, (and) every time he saw children in the aisles, he'd shake their hand and he put a piece of candy in their hand," said Wygle. "It got to be where even the adults in the church thought it was so cute that they'd say, 'Well, I've been good, can I have a piece of candy?' And brother Harry would always give them a piece."
Tokita also worked as a landscaper and caretaker at the church's high school in Ewa on Renton Road. Children at the school were told of his death Tuesday morning during a special chapel.
"Every kid was just brokenhearted because they all love him," said Wygle. "We're yet to feel the ripples of his absence. We haven't even gotten over the shock phase yet."
After losing his wife Carolyn to cancer in the mid 90s, Tokita looked after the couple's three children on his own. Wygle said all of the children suffered from mental disabilities, but Tokita never asked anyone for help, including the government.
"It's says he was a pioneer American, and he didn't expect others to do his job," said Wygle. "He was never a beggar."
Tokita was a U.S. Army veteran, who retired from the Oahu Sugar Company in Waipahu.
Investigators continue to look into the cause of the fire. Seelig said the home is a complete loss.
