Walk into any high school and It's very common to hear the sounds of a vocal music choir. But walk down the halls of Blair-Taylor High school and you may hear something totally unexpected.
This school is home to one of the very few 'school organized' bell choirs and it was started three years ago by band director Karla Hulne. "I actually wrote a piece for our drum line and thought it would be neat to include some hand bells on one of the pieces. One of my students mentioned their was a set in town. So I contacted the Lutheran Church and they mentioned they weren't being used and any time we needed to borrow them - we could."
And that gave Hulne the idea - what if they 'borrowed them' indefinitely?? She asked and the church happily agreed. "The tables are theirs, the cushions, the bells. They even have some music they're going to let us borrow as well."
They had the equipment and the students soon followed. "I really likes band and our church had a bell choir and when I found out about this, I wanted to be in it."
"The students here are so willing to put themselves out there and try new things. I wasn't really concerned that we won't have the numbers and obviously we have plenty of kids!"
They rehearse at seven in the morning, three days a week. "The mornings are tough."
But if just one person is gone, the whole choir is impacted. "We're all one instrument instead of individuals." " There's no hiding. I'm band, if you don't know your trumpet part, the person next to you might know it. But here, if one person isn't functioning or misses a cue it throws everybody off."
"It's amazing to see where they come from to where the end product is. But when it comes together, it really is magic. To see them working in time, working in cooperation with each other to create a piece that brings happiness to so many people. It's really remarkable. I'm so proud of them."
"People love to hear it, so what better time of the year to spread some joy."
"I really think bells bring joy to people above all things."

A chili day: Middlebury spices up Main StreetStaff PHOTOS By Albert J. Marro
Above: Tamara Boise of Cycle Wise in New Haven prepares cornbread to go with chili made with beef, sausage, bacon and secret goodness. Below: Sheri Sullivan of Sheris Diner in Brandon serves up her chicken black bean chili for Bill Powers of Rutland.
While many cooks are content to make chili from moose or venison, David Rogers of the FishTail Tavern made his from both.
A friend of mine got a moose and, of course, theres so much meat he was giving it away, the Castleton restaurateur said between ladling out cupfuls of his game chili during the fifth annual Vermont Chili Festival on Saturday. I got a local deer. I decided to do a compilation. Ive never done both I just happened to have both in my freezer.
Rogers chili, which was rich with a sweetness that gave way to a pleasant heat, was far from the most ornate offering at the festival in Middlebury. Last year the event drew roughly 5,000 visitors, according to organizers, and Saturday massive lines formed in front of roughly 50 booths along Main Street. At times, it looked like one massive line ran the length of the street.
Organized by the Better Middlebury Partnership, the event invites guests to vote for the best overall chili and for winners in categories including beef, chicken, pork, game, veggie and kitchen sink.
While most of the concoctions had the familiar reddish-brown hue, there were a few bowls of green chili one searingly hot, another citrusy and a white chili made from white beans and chicken. One booth offered Buffalo chicken chili topped with blue cheese and garnished with a celery stick.
While most booths advertised their meats and vegetables, the booth run by Otter Creek Brewing of Middlebury made note of which beer was in each of their three pots. One was a meat chili, one a vegetarian chili made with sweet potatoes and black beans, and the third was a fish chili.
We tried a few different beers with smaller batches through the week, trying to get ideas down and seeing which beers worked best, said Sean Siner of Otter Creek Brewing. The (Wolavers) IPA seemed to work really well with the vegetables in the vegetarian chili. The hops, I think, lent themselves well to that.
For the meat, Siner said, the maltiness of the Copper Ale added barley notes to the mixture of pork, pork sausage, beef and veal. Siner denied any suggestion that veal was wasted in chili.
Veal is such a nice meat, he said. It hasnt quite reddened up yet. Its a very light meat chili.
For the fish chili, Otter Creek blackened halibut separately and then put a chunk of the fish at the bottom of a cup of cheesy sauce made with a gallon of The Shed IPA beer, in which they had soaked a pound of jalapenos.
The Shed IPA is very hoppy, almost grapefruit like, Siner said of how the beer paired with the fish.
Arguably the fanciest chili was served by Tourterelle, a New Haven restaurant. Misty Knoll Farm chicken chili was served with pineapple salsa and maple creme fraiche. Chef-owner William Snell said the key to good chicken chili, for him, is not to overcook the chicken.
I like to keep nice big chunks of chicken so people can taste the quality of the chicken, he said. You dont want it to taste like youre eating pureed meat.
Next to Snells booth, Larry Naylor of Salisbury was also serving chili involving pineapples. In Naylors chili, though, the fruit was cooked in the pot with everything else and blended in, offering a sweet sharpness to contrast the richness of the meat.
Pineapples werent the only unusual ingredient in Naylors pot. He called his chili Kahlua-pig because the pork in it was marinated in Kahlua.
Traditional Hawaiian, for a luau, the pork they roast in the ground is called kalua pork, spelled without the h, he said. I like the coffee taste. I think that goes well with the chili powder. I tried it out on my poker buddies and it was a hit.

It Really Is Baffling
Yanks Lose And I'm Confused
I just don't get it. It doesn't make sense to me. How can a team as good as the Yankees lose like that? How can the pitching and the offense be so inconsistent in a game? They looked dead yesterday. And then they tried to come alive in the 9th, but it wasn't enough. That part reminded me of last year, and I don't want to remember last year. The Yankees lost to the Orioles 7-3 yesterday.
Pitching Analysis: A.J. Burnett toed the rubber yesterday looking to follow up on his last start, which was a good one. He disappointed me. He gave up 6 runs in the 2nd and it took him 41 pitches to get out of that inning. 41? Insane. But what I really don't get is that for the rest of the game, he was A.J. Burnett. You would think I am happy that he settled down, but I am not. That does not cut it. That 2nd inning was dreadful. If it was in the postseason, it could have ended our season. I will not accept that. A.J.'s inconsistency is really bothering me. Where is the A.J. I love? He was so good last week, why was he bad yesterday? I have always given A.J. the benefit of the doubt, but now I am getting a little fed up. A.J. needs to perform and help the Yankees win the World Series, because we won't settle for anything less.
Sorry, A.J., but I am losing faith in you. Please prove me wrong and do good in your next start!
Josh Towers came in to pitch the final 2 innings, and he allowed a run. He's cool. A pitcher who wears #12. And he has high socks. That's pretty cool.
Defensive Analysis: The defense was pretty good yesterday. In the 1st, Cano caught a liner and fired to Jeet for an inning ending 4-6 double play, which was cool. Alex Rodriguez booted a foul pop up, and was a bit frustrated to say the least. Then Wieters hit a foul pop up, and gave Arod a chance to redeem himself. Arod made a nice over the shoulder catch, and he was happy. Jeter was, too. They are always kidding each other.
Offensive Analysis: I liked what I saw in the first, but I didn't like anything else. The Yanks jumped out to an early lead, died, and then had a valiant effort to make up the deficit in the 9th. In the 1st, the Yanks built a run. Jeter singled and stole second, Jerry bunted him over to third, and Tex drove him in with a sac fly. I liked that. I love little ball.
Jeter stealing second in the 1st.
After the 1st, the offense really died. They had only a handful of chances to score, and they failed in all of them until the 9th. I don't understand how the top offensive team can look so lost and dead at the plate.
In the 9th, the Yankee bats decided to wake up. Melky Cabrera had an RBI double, and Posada had an RBI single. That made it 7-3. Jeter struckout to end the game, and the Yankees lost to the Orioles again.
I don't want to see this anymore:
I want to see this:
I know they only lost 2 in a row, but I am worried about the Yankees. They have not lost 2 in a row at home since that miserable series versus the Nationals. I just want a World Series title this year. I have waited so long, and I just love my team. I want everything to go well so I know they will win it all. Is that too much to ask for, boys? Hahaha. I love you guys, and I want you to have all the glory at the end of the baseball year. That's all. GO YANKEES!!!

The Yanks have to beat the beatable teams. Baltimore, Toronto and so on… They will be fine though, at least till the playoffs start.

Teams are all getting tired this month, it seems. I never know what might happen next! Good luck!
I mentioned this over at JQuist, but I have no clue why we played so poorly against the Orioles, especially considering the fact we swept them last time we faced them. I'm hoping this is just a minor blip on the radar and nothing we need to be worried about. In fact, I'm sure it's nothing we need to be worried about. We have a solid lead for 1st and barring something horrendous, we're going to the playoffs. I guess we just have to shake this off and move on.
BTW, AJ better pull his head out of his @$$ if he wants to keep his #2 job. At this rate, I'd be more comfortable pitching Chad Gaudin after CC in the playoffs.
Confusing is a good feeling for that game. I wish AJ would get his ish together. I can't take the stress of him being terrible and not getting bailed out! Ugh! So frustrating. At this point, I'm having doubts about him staying in the #2 slot… where is the stability?!
*We got the win, and all is right with the world again! I'm more worred about the Angels, (eventhough the thought of a sweep in Baltimore is pretty horrifying too.) We'll see what Joba can do for us… The 3 innings garbage is a joke.
I didn't realise how many Yankee blogs I read and comment on, till today, hmmmm… but even so I still wanted the O's to sweep….LOL and now you guys get to play the scary Halos….:-)
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Man, it's so tough when your team starts losing and you know you're better than that. I don't remember what losing is like (haha) but hopefully your guys will get back on the ball and get some wins.
At least we avoided the sweep! Whew. CC was a beast and Matsui and Melky were red hot. Now it's on to the Angels. UGH. I hate playing them, but I'm trying to have a positive attitude. GO YANKS.
As they say, you can't win every game!! As good as the Yankees are, things happen. We all have our off days. Now the Yankees have to go out and get the Angels!

Hoyer, the new Skidmore-Tynan Independent School District superintendent here, originally is from Minnesota.
"But I got here as fast as I could. There's something about Texas that appeals to me. Thirty years later, I'm still here."
A glance at his resume goes a long way in explaining why S-TISD trustees chose him to replace their former superintendent, Dr. Brett Belmarez.
It says he has been in education since he was graduated from St. Cloud University in 1984 and earned a doctorate in educational administration at the University of Texas in 2013. But, in conversation, it started years before.
He was the eldest child in a rural family and knew he was going to be the first in his family to attend college.
"In junior high, I came under the guidance of teacher-coaches who were very influential. I caught it just right. I had a bunch of gentlemen who helped direct me and who made an impression about the good things that can be done both as a coach and as a teacher.
"I can't say, right then, that I wanted to be a teacher. But, I tucked that thought away and later found my niche."
He followed the principle in his early years of teaching — at Santa Rosa, Texas — by also coaching. In 1986-1987, he was named Coach of the Year in District 32-AAA Basketball.
He also was named Teacher of the Year while working at the North East Independent School District in San Antonio and named Principal of the Year while principal at Bush Middle School in San Antonio.
Having worked both for large, cosmopolitan school districts — some with as many as 1,800 students — Hoyer says he prefers the atmosphere of the rural. S-TISD enrollment is 750.
"I was looking forward to a country school, Friday night football and all that."
Hoyer raises cattle on 60 acres in Gillett, about 25 miles northeast of Karnes City. "The ranch life appeals to me. It's not just a job here; it's a place where I call home as well. I'm connected to this area. I value the way people in this area see things — the whole, small-town attitude."
Since he started at S-TISD, he has been dribbling and shooting hoops with the budget while wearing a T-shirt embroidered with an S-TISD logo.
"We have to adopt a budget by the end of August. That's been taking up a lot of the time now. We have some financial challenges like everyone else does."
Beyond the bookkeeping, Hoyer also is focusing on enrollment.
"We rely on transfer students," he says. "That's the reality that I'm learning. You've got to have kids if you want to stay open. I want to do everything I can to keep our enrollment what it is.
"If we had unlimited funds," he says, "I would move us to an electronic format. Now, having said that, I still like to have a textbook in my hands. I guess I'm old-fashioned. But, as educators, and as adults, we've got to embrace that and learn it. That's their world, and that's the future."
Scanning the budget papers that fill every inch of space on his desk, he adds, "But, it's expensive. And, you know, you jump on one thing, and it's outdated. And, yet, we want to open doors for students, not close them.
"It's not about the electronic device or the textbook, though. It's about the good questions that you wrestle with. That's what good teaching is. What kind of questions evolve from the resources that you use?"
It's too early for changes, Hoyer says.
"I'm going around trying to build relationships with people here. When you start cultivating relationships, you can get more done. I believe that.
"I have a deep respect for teachers, people who can get up in front of kids and help them to understand and to question what they know. Teachers are wonderful people because it takes a tremendous amount of energy, all year long, every day. It's a demanding and exhausting job, and they earn their pay. It makes me always want to get up in the morning and come to work to help them.
"There's good people here, They are hungry for direction and leadership, and I hope to provide that."

Hey Sandy. Time for some foooootballReplyCancel
No, thank GOD. Tails won.ReplyCancel
Yup and Broncos are losing already CharlieReplyCancel
But Broncos lost the toss Cassie you owe yourself. 🙂ReplyCancel
I dont think this is gonna be very pretty:(ReplyCancel
Before pregame, we made bets on coin toss regardless of who we were going for.ReplyCancel
It may not be a pretty game, but my spirits would definitely be lifted seeing some more shots of Broadway Joe and that elegant fur of his.ReplyCancel
Usually when Joe wears furs like that hes hammered.ReplyCancel
Oh ok Cassie on the other thread you said if Broncos lose toss you had to drink JD.ReplyCancel
Oh sorry haha. I'm sorts of messed up haha.ReplyCancel
Drunk girl in the house! 🙂ReplyCancel
@ sandy. And Joe keeps winning points with me! On that note, I have decided to relent and begin the booze fest!ReplyCancel
Charlie you see we got drinking girls here?ReplyCancel
There you go Mel 🙂ReplyCancel
That damned safety jacked my first quarter block pools. Bastards.ReplyCancel
Yeah YeahReplyCancel
Oh well get em in the 2d quarter Charlie. Maybe Manning will forget its a big game.ReplyCancel
80s new wave music love it!ReplyCancel
I have only a bare idea whats going on but its very colourful. Im watching it on Channel 4 here in the UK.
Some big nasty looking fuckers out there. That Denver number 94's backside filled my widescreen TV.
Sobriety test. Cassie, how many eyes am I holding up?ReplyCancel
Um 4ReplyCancel
Yup shes plastered.
Welcome Vic. Yeah there's sine big mf 'ers out there.ReplyCancel
Haha, this isn't my first rodeo @sandy… It should get interesting too since I'm ill-prepared. I tried to keep booze out of the house so I didn't lose my abs before a girl's beach trip this week. I have 4-miller lites, 1bottle of Pinot noir, 1 bottle sake, and some st germain & absolut pear.. Now that I look at my list, I have plenty to drink but the combo will hurt me tomorrow 🙁ReplyCancel
Well its all good and lo on carbs too @Mel. May even have vegetable servings ob there someplace. I'm straight up with beer and if I somehow manage to run out I have 3 wines to choose from.ReplyCancel
Ellen is so cuteReplyCancel
This hasn't even been close to competitive so far and Denver is very lucky they are only down 8-0.
STFU BONO!ReplyCancel
@Flashy Vic, I don't know which number he is, but there's a guy on the Hawks team who I keep calling a refrigerator. I'd be terrified to be on the sidelines when one of those guys crashed out of bounds.ReplyCancel
Friggin interceptionReplyCancel
Another great play by Manning! 🙁ReplyCancel
Pick! Whassamatter, Peyton, Hawks D inside your head already?ReplyCancel
Holy hell Radio Shack Jesus Christ!ReplyCancel
Ummmm, Will someone please let Denver know that there is a Super Bowl game going on?ReplyCancel
I think that's the problem Mel. Manning knows its a BIG game and he sucks in them mostly.ReplyCancel
I know @ Sandy, but you'd think he'd be able to get his shit together mentally by now. At the end of the day, the greater Manning (by talent anyways) is stuck in amateur hourReplyCancel
Switching from Bud Light Lime to vodka now. This game blows so far.ReplyCancel
No professional sports team in the Pacific Northwest has won a title since 1979 things change tonight.ReplyCancel
Stick a fork in Denver, they're done. Fifteen points is all the lead the Hawks need. It'll be nothing but Marshawn between the tackles the rest of the day, with Peyton watching morosely on the sidelines.ReplyCancel
My Giants have the greater Manning! He wins big games.ReplyCancel
I remember William the Refrigerator Perry for Chicago way back in the 8Os. He was even well known over here. They started showing NFL over here way back then on C4 & I used to watch. I followed the Redskins.But I havent seen it for literally years.
Due to shiftwork this is the first Superbowl ive been able to watch in ages. Its 20 past midnight here & this will finish around half three in the morning. And Seattle score!
Vic you can probably go to bed this game is done but watch Bruno Mars at least.ReplyCancel
Lol @ SandyReplyCancel
@Flashy Vic, that's it! I was a wee lass (LOL) but I remember Refrigerator Perry as a nickname! 20 past midnight, you're in the UK, right? Staying up to half three to watch, that's dedication!ReplyCancel
Time for cake.ReplyCancel
@Sand. Nah, I have a nice meatball pizza ready to cook at half time. Im not a big Bruno Mars fan, I cut my teeth on the likes of Zeppelin and Rush. My wife loves him though but shes upstairs deep in the land of Nod.ReplyCancel
Goodbye Peyton nice interception right thereReplyCancel
That was…. just beautiful.ReplyCancel
So far I'm nailing it: I predicted three Peyton picks and he's thrown two already.
"Turn out the lights, the party's over…"ReplyCancel
Honestly Vic I saw him at the Granny's 2 yrs ago and Bruno weened like a Prince/Michael Jackson wannabe. But I'm interested in seeing more because everyone says hes the next big thing.ReplyCancel
In (real) football terms this is like being 3 nil up after half an hour.ReplyCancel
Thank you Mr. Beckham, Thank youReplyCancel
David Beckham and his tats blech!ReplyCancel
Buzzed chicks all hot and bothered after that Beckham commercial.ReplyCancel
Yeah, okay , youve turned me, i'll watch, but there had better be no fucking nipple slips.ReplyCancel
Thx for your help spelchek on the past 3 posts 🙁 I'm getting to where it will be what it will beReplyCancel
Not in this weather Vic its freezing thereReplyCancel
Come on @Charlie! I'm not even buzzed yet!!! LolReplyCancel
"…(real) football…"
Excuse me, Vic, but the correct name of "real football" is rugby football. Union, that is. And yes, this is like being up by three trys with your pack winning every scrum.ReplyCancel
No way. I'll take his wife before him.ReplyCancel
@Sandy the tats are fine…what would have killed it for me is if they would have let beckham speak.ReplyCancel
They keep saying "warmer than expected night" – why is everyone wearing quilted jackets and scarves?ReplyCancel
I might sneak into the book club meeting later and see how plastered they are.ReplyCancel
Surpise Superbowl special reveal:
For anyone whose interested, Beckham is the answer to that kindness blind from a few weeks ago about the crippled wee girl. I know because I told one of the entys about it. It happened in my home town and I worked with the husband of someone involved with the family.
I didnt see that ad as we get Terrell Briggs whose co presentiing it here talking to other C4 presenters instead.ReplyCancel
I think you hinted that back then @Vic but never really said it was him. Honestly he seems like a decent dudeReplyCancel
Nice reveal, Vic. ThanksReplyCancel
Broncs going for it on 4th down was the right call, despite not making it.ReplyCancel
No choice down 22 with a minute left in a half @BReplyCancel
So sad that it's SundayReplyCancel
In theory, give Peyton a whole half and he can come back from 22 down, Sandy. Lots of Broncos fans will probably be mad that they went for it, but it was actually the right call against Seattle's ball-control offense.ReplyCancel
Giants had no shot vs. The Ravens that night either lost by more then 30. Same thing is gonna happen toniteReplyCancel
That's great to hear @ Vic! I'm a browns fan but want the Seahawks to win. There was a family near my hometown who lost 2 children in a house fire… One of them was a Seahawks fan. The father received a phone call from Pete Carroll earlier this week sending his condolences. Some of the players reached out them as well.ReplyCancel
I would agree with you @B if they had showed anything at all to give anyone any hope they could even move the ball.ReplyCancel
Ok Bruno save this shit and lets see what's up in the book clubReplyCancel
This is the big Seinfeld reunion?ReplyCancel
Marshawn is only averaging 1.5 yds/carry so far, but Seattle overal is averaging almost five yards per rush, which is brutal. Meanwhile, the Hawks O-line is grinding down the Broncos defense.
I would not like to be Peyton next half. The Seattle defense is going to tee off on pass rushing and play "Kill the QB."ReplyCancel
Bruno sure is a wee guyReplyCancel
Bruno! Bruno! Bruno! He's fucking awesome!ReplyCancel
He's pocket sized for sure!ReplyCancel
And he looks like an extra from Casino…but he is gettin' it!ReplyCancel
@ Reno. Right?!!ReplyCancel
Bruno reeks of awesomenessReplyCancel
No no no Bruno isnt awful but hes copying ppl who did this tons better.
Chilis blow him away sorryReplyCancel
I said NO NIPPLES!
That especially means you,Anthony!
Chilis blow for sure @sandy
I kid, I kid…kinda 😉ReplyCancel
Ive seen worse halftime shows. Hes not bad but he isn't original nor groundbreakingReplyCancel
Bruno nailed it! No lip synching for him! He's real talent right there.ReplyCancel
Yea I lied about no nipples didn't I?ReplyCancel
Little, Little Richard.ReplyCancel
@ Vic… You can call him Mini Dick for short!ReplyCancel
I was blown away by how well both RHCP and Bruno Mars did on the halftime show. They both gave awesome performances.ReplyCancel
I need more music! Halftime too short!ReplyCancel
Mars looked like he just got back from the Vegas show.ReplyCancel
I guess that's it for the excitement for the rest of the night until Prince guest stars on Zooey's show after the game is off.ReplyCancel
Not to y'all to DenverReplyCancel
This is not a fucking game. Now I'm drinking for GP…sake here I come!ReplyCancel
Remember we all have to get up for Monday–moderation pleez!:(ReplyCancel
No work for me tomorrow!!! Yay me!ReplyCancel
Most of these 80s commercials are lame but if that really was Tim Tebow that was goodReplyCancel

Has there ever been a shutout Super Bowl?
I want Stephen Colbert to come back, even if he is hawking pistachios.ReplyCancel
Sorry Sandy 🙁 This game is borderline offensive…is it rigged or what? Denver has to intentionally be playing this poorlyReplyCancel
I think this Budweiser ad with the soldier was done in my area a couple of days ago. And it was real.ReplyCancel
Hey guys – how is the game going?ReplyCancel
Giants got shutout vs. The Ravens @7ReplyCancel
@Seachica. Photographic proof required.ReplyCancel
Hi TTM it sux.ReplyCancel
@TTM: 29-0, with less than 5 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter.ReplyCancel
Absolutely need selfies@seachicaReplyCancel
Sorry, Seahawks in the lead.ReplyCancel
29-0?? That's not a game, that's a practice. Denver sucking wind?ReplyCancel
Yay @ Seachica! I'm jealous!ReplyCancel
We all should have went to TTMS book club she had to cancel.
Oh man. To quote B Profane, stick a fork in the Broncos.
Seahawks 36, Broncos 0 – less than 3 minutes left in the 3rd quarter.ReplyCancel
Maybe Seachica can send the evidence into Enty to post as part of his random photos! LolReplyCancel
Just ouch.ReplyCancel
Eminems car commercial the other yr about Detroit blew away Bob Dylan just nowReplyCancel
Im just staying now to see Seachica's nudey pics.ReplyCancel
Ah SuperBowl is a tough night for a book club; we'll get at it again next week. Good news is: much wine laid in stockReplyCancel
I would dance naked atop the Space Needle to celebrate this win if they'd let me.ReplyCancel
What book were you 3 talking about @TTM? (I lurked a bit)ReplyCancel
Well I would be more sad if my true love , Packers, we're being beaten this bad.ReplyCancel
Ill pass at seeing that @B
No shutout tonight :(!ReplyCancel
Silly sandy, should have said hi. We're doing "The Quiet Game" by Greg Iles. Good bookReplyCancel
Denver on the board!
@TTM, I unsubscribed from that post b/c I haven't read it. I may join you! Next Sunday, pick a lonely post – is that right?ReplyCancel
"it" being the book. Hello, vino, my old friend.ReplyCancel
That's exactly it, Seven, we would love to have you join us! Sandy, you too, fella. I know Reno is in!ReplyCancel
Ahh a crime mystery very good.ReplyCancel
Sorry for so much OT, you guys all have a great night, good job Seahawks!!ReplyCancel
Dont go we aren't always OnTopicReplyCancel
Denver scored??ReplyCancel
Yeah they did and the Jonas' bought their baby today finally. MIRACLES HAPPEN!ReplyCancel
I'm on my tenth beer I'm so proud 🙁ReplyCancel
LOL see? Anything can happen! Never give up! Something about a frog!ReplyCancel
Atta boy, sandy! I expect nude selfies as your profile pic right around the 12thReplyCancel
@ violet. I agree. I was hoping to get a few laughs. Owell! Thank goodness for CDAN tonight!ReplyCancel
Naught, naughty Hawks, passing for another TD. Doing a great impression of the '85 Bears though.ReplyCancel
Yeah Sandy!!
Congrats on reaching double digits!!
Manning couldn't even throw up at the minute.ReplyCancel
Nope dont let anyone take pics of me no matter how drunk I get especially dick shots.ReplyCancel
Yeah take those pants off douche 🙁ReplyCancel
Manning is going to throw another pick for a TD return, I just know it.ReplyCancel
They should take him out its doneReplyCancel
You ok, sandy??ReplyCancel
Thx Mel and I have one left too and 3 bottles of wine that seem to be safeReplyCancel
Three more beers,Sandy, and you become an honourary Brit.ReplyCancel
I'm fine. I was referring to the Stamos commercial where they told him to take his pants off.ReplyCancel
I wish I cold time travel back to Friday nightReplyCancel
Shit that would be an honor but I only have one left 🙁ReplyCancel
Dont forget to take back a Sports Almanac and hoverboard, Cassandra.ReplyCancel
Why Cassie? You're drunk!ReplyCancel
Convenient timing for Jonas announcement – between Superbowl & PSH they can just slip it in & no one will ask too many questions. Announcement & pics released by Dreft? Who gets a sponsor to release your baby announcement? Makes me believe the fake baby story more… Back to the game now…
In honor of this shiteous game, I think a pear martini is calling my name. As a lurker 90% of the time, I thank everyone here for the entertainment!ReplyCancel
I posted at my fb:
The NY Jets fired Pete Carroll to hire Rich Kotite (one of the worst NFL coaches ever.)
The Patriots fired Pete Carroll to hire Bill Belichek (one of the best coaches ever.)
Peyton Manning's HOF credentials are just going…down…the drain.ReplyCancel
Lurk less post more @MelReplyCancel
Eric Cartman, Mork and Mindy, Douglas Fairbanks (thanks wiki), erm… John Denver, anyone with a bong, your boys took a hell of a beating tonight.ReplyCancel
They waited until the end of the game for the horse commercial w the damn dog?ReplyCancel
@Seachica. What?! Thats a knaves trick! You promised beaver!ReplyCancel
Thanks sandy! I was finally brave enough to send in a reader pic this year. Baby steps, I guess. LolReplyCancel
Congrats Seattle!ReplyCancel
I loved how you could clearly read Pete Carroll's lips saying "Oh shit!" when he saw the Gatorade dunk coming.ReplyCancel
I feel like cacaReplyCancel
Were all friends here @Mel mostly ….dont be afraid to share what you think and feel!ReplyCancel
@Melpomene. I'd send one of me in but humanity hasnt degenerated enough yet to deserve such a punishment.ReplyCancel
Ok goodnight all–take your aspirin just before going to bedReplyCancel
I had so many doubts when Carroll picked Wilson to be the Hawks starter at QB…he's the same height and weighs less than I did when I started for my college rugby side. But boy, the kid can play.ReplyCancel
Haha @ Vic!! I'm sure that's a lie! G'night guys!!ReplyCancel
By the way, to the Broncos fans who think that Carroll ran up the score: this is both a Bowl win and makeup win for the Seahawks. We were robbed by the zebras on '05.
Seattle Seahawks, two-time NFL champions!ReplyCancel
Mama Ray!! If I'm going to comment more, you have to now as well!! Lol! If not, expect random shout outs!ReplyCancel
7am = No bueno Mama Ray!! However, grown up time is a must!! Cheers!ReplyCancel
I asked this question yesterday
Tina Mallette said…
Can the Broncos play at sea level though?
My question has been answered. Clearly the air was just too heavy in New Jersey.ReplyCancel

With superb expressive capabilities and a revolutionary new action mechanism, the new Yamaha Celesta and Keyboard Glockenspiel are perfect for ensemble performance with an orchestra. The first single-layer action mechanism provides a uniform feel across the entire keyboard, for better performance in an ensemble setting. New models are also lighter in weight than previous models, as it has less moving parts due to a different design to the resonator box. The CEL-53 is the basic model Celesta with a range of C40-92E, 53 total keys. The CEL-56 is the professional model, setting it apart with the inclusion of a soft pedal. In addition the CEL-56 has a slightly higher range of C40-G95, for a total of 56 keys. Finally, the CEL-56PGL is a Keyboard Glockenspiel featuring deer antler hammers. The CEL-56PGL is ideal for subtle, nuanced performance required by pieces such as Mozart's Magic Flute and Debussy's La Mer. These instruments utilize a grand piano action that makes smooth playing possible and allows for easy adjustment and calibration. The damper pedal is situated slightly right of center, exactly where the piano player would expect. The keyboard height is equal to that of a piano and has a narrow key slip leading to a more comfortable posture and hand positioning. The music rest is ideally positioned to permit clear visibility of the score and the conductor simultaneously. Finally, a folding cover protects and preserves the keys. Whether it is excellent tone, piano-like feel or practical design, the Yamaha Celesta and Keyboard Glockenspiel are a great choice for high schools and professional orchestras seeking one that stands above the rest.
The first single-layer grand piano action
The first single-layer grand piano action with full length keys provides remarkable expression and control, with a light but positive touch and delicate response.

Metal plates and resonator
Special metal plates and a unique resonator configuration deliver pure, vibrant tones throughout the entire range.
Piano-standard keyboard height and a narrow keyslip offer more natural, comfortable posture and hand positioning. Key surfaces of Ivorite and unstained ebony are a pleasure to see and to play.
Music rest
The music rest is positioned to allow clear line-of-sight visibility for both score and conductor.
The damper pedal is aligned as a pianist would expect---slightly right of center.
Double-wheel locking casters ensure easy, durable mobility.
The cabinet, crafted of oak veneer with a mahogany finish and metal grilles, blends well with orchestral settings.
And, of course, Yamaha's worldwide reputation for unwavering quality and support stands behind every instrument.

47 CFR Ch. I
Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions-Fall 2012
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.
SUMMARY: Twice a year, in spring and fall, the Commission publishes in the Federal Register a list in the Unified Agenda of those major items and other significant proceedings under development or review that pertain to the Regulatory Flexibility Act. See 5 U.S.C. 602. The Unified Agenda also provides the Code of Federal Regulations citations and legal authorities that govern these proceedings.
ADDRESS: Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street SW., Washington, DC 20554.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Maura McGowan, Telecommunications Specialist, Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street SW., Washington, DC 20554, (202) 418-0990.
Unified Agenda of Major and Other Significant Proceedings
The Commission encourages public participation in its rulemaking process. To help keep the public informed of significant rulemaking proceedings, the Commission has prepared a list of important proceedings now in progress. The General Services Administration publishes the Unified Agenda in the Federal Register in the spring and fall of each year.
The following terms may be helpful in understanding the status of the proceedings included in this report:
Docket Number -- assigned to a proceeding if the Commission has issued either a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking or a Notice of Inquiry concerning the matter under consideration. The Commission has used docket numbers since January 1, 1978. Docket numbers consist of the last two digits of the calendar year in which the docket was established plus a sequential number that begins at 1 with the first docket initiated during a calendar year (e.g., Docket No. 96-1 or Docket No. 99-1). The abbreviation for the responsible bureau usually precedes the docket number, as in "MM Docket No. 96-222," which indicates that the responsible bureau is the Mass Media Bureau (now the Media Bureau). A docket number consisting of only five digits (e.g., Docket No. 29622) indicates that the docket was established before January 1, 1978.
Notice of Inquiry (NOI) -- issued by the Commission when it is seeking information on a broad subject or trying to generate ideas on a given topic. A comment period is specified during which all interested parties may submit comments.
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) -- issued by the Commission when it is proposing a specific change to Commission rules and regulations. Before any changes are actually made, interested parties may submit written comments on the proposed revisions.
Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) -- issued by the Commission when additional comment in the proceeding is sought.
Memorandum Opinion and Order (MO&O) -- issued by the Commission to deny a petition for rulemaking, conclude an inquiry, modify a decision, or address a petition for reconsideration of a decision.
Rulemaking (RM) Number -- assigned to a proceeding after the appropriate bureau or office has reviewed a petition for rulemaking, but before the Commission has taken action on the petition.
Report and Order (R&O) -- issued by the Commission to state a new or amended rule or state that the Commission rules and regulations will not be revised.
NAME: Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary, Federal Communications Commission.

How Weaning Happens by Diane Bengson and available through LLL is a good book. I read it when my DS1 turned 1 and I thought I was supposed to wean him at that age. It helped me to examine my feelings and the feelings of my DS a little better.

The best-kept secret in child psychology is that children who were never spanked are among the best behaved."

I think that the womanly art of breastfeeding also has a chapter on weaning.
you can try the weaing pages here at the web site...
How Weaning Happens is a great book. It shares a huge diversity of weaning experiences, has information on weaning techniques and also the emotional aspects for mom and baby. My LLL group probably isn't too pleased that I've been borrowing it for 4 months () but I keep going back to it as we are going through the weaning process. Initially, it helped me commit to a gradual and natural(ish) weaning, but with my situation changed and we're using a more directive approach, I still find it helpful and comforting

« Back
Paul Doty (left) aks a question of Senator Sam Nunn (center right) during a JFK Jr. Forum in 2010 titled "Nuclear Tipping Point." Panelists included Belfer Center Director Graham Allison (right) and David Sanger, senior fellow.
Belfer Center Founder Paul Doty: Groundbreaker and Peacemaker, Colleague and Mentor
Newsletter Article, Belfer Center Newsletter, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
Spring 2012
Author: Steven E. Miller, Director, International Security Program; Editor-in-Chief, International Security; Co-Principal Investigator, Project on Managing the Atom
Paul Doty, who founded the Belfer Center in 1974, died on December 5, 2011. He was 91.
Below, Steven E. Miller, director of the Belfer Centers International Security Program and editor-in-chief of the journal International Security and a member of Paul Dotys early staff remembers his colleague and friend. Millers complete comments, along with those from other colleagues, can be found at http://rememberingpauldoty.org/
Paul Doty was a man of immense accomplishment: a world class figure in both science and public policy, a builder of institutions, an intellectual leader, a stalwart at Harvard for more than 60 years. He had major accomplishments in biochemistry and molecular biology. He was a leading expert on nuclear arms control. He founded Harvards Biochemistry Department and the Kennedy Schools Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. He created leading journals in both fields. He built teams of colleagues that were second to none. His former students and fellows represent a legacy that would make any scholar proud.
Despite his stature, he was unassuming, almost self-effacing, and approachable. He rose high, but on his merits, because he seemed to lack almost completely the self-promotional instinct. There was no doubting his incisive, penetrating intelligence and his unerring ability to get to the heart of the matter. In a low-key, civilized way, he was full of intellectual integrity: no pandering, no backing down, no retreat from his beliefs in the face of high-powered opposition. Easy to underestimate, he was exceptionally effective at navigating the political and bureaucratic thickets at Harvard and in the wider world; in the end, it was Doty, more than most, who got things done.
Paul was particularly devoted to the unknown and unproven. In the institutions he created he surrounded himself with young people incipient scholars whom he cared about, watched over, nurtured, and helped. People, he often said, were the principal purpose and product of the Center and he took warranted pride in the long list of distinguished alumni that accumulated over the years. Paul had a deserved reputation as a particularly good judge of talent, but his ability to calibrate was in part due to his deep engagement with the young scholars in his charge; he could judge them well because he knew them well.
Paul was a man of substance. He cared deeply about the issues on which he worked and was unflagging in his efforts to make a difference. He made dozens of trips to Moscow and countless trips to Washington DC, seeking to promote dialogue between the Soviet Union and the United States even in the darkest days of the Cold War, and helping to construct an arms control edifice that might help reduce the dangers posed by nuclear weapons. His main aim in creating the Belfer Center was to train successor generations to carry on this essential work. His sense of purpose suffused the Center and enveloped those he sought to train: here was work that mattered; here was a cause worth devoting a life to.
It was my enormous good fortune to fall into Paul Dotys orbit several decades ago, when I was awarded a pre-doctoral fellowship at the Center he had then recently founded . I was quite likely the most junior person in the Center, not long past my PhD general exams (by todays standards I would not even have been eligible to apply). But it did not matter; all were treated with respect and judged by their performance. Everyone was given the chance to partake of the intellectual riches offered by the Center. This was the Doty ethos.
Within three years, to my own considerable astonishment, I found myself to be the junior member of the Centers directing staff, working with Paul and his wonderful colleagues, Albert Carnesale, Michael Nacht, and Dorothy Zinberg. Looking back, it was a golden time; working with Paul and his team combined serious work with fun and friendship. Paul was then and forever after a good and cherished friend, a wise and reliable mentor, and an admirable but unmatchable role model. So many young scholars have benefitted from the opportunities that Paul made possible for them, but few have benefitted more than me.
Paul Doty did not get cheated in this life. He had a full, rich 91 years that left him looking back in wonderment, having covered such a vast distance from his humble origins in rural, small town Pennsylvania and having so greatly transcended his mothers dream that he might become, some day, the math teacher at the local high school. A life so long, so good and so meaningful should not be lamented, but those of us who knew him, and whose lives were touched by him, will miss him dearly: the warmth, the kindness, the wide smile, the hearty laugh, the wry sense of humor, the twinkle in the eye, the generosity and freely proferred help, the unfailing wisdom, the very human qualities of Paul Doty this is a disappearance that is not easily replaced .The world has been diminished by the loss of a great man.
Tribute above by Steven E. Miller, director, International Security Program, Belfer Center
Additional Reminiscences by Colleagues
--Graham Allison Paul was a great man who made huge contributions to many of us personally, to the institutions of which we are a part, and to the purposes we care about. He was a lifelong peacemaker, building bridges between Soviet and American scientists and promoting nuclear disarmament since the 1950swork that helped the Pugwash Conferences earn the Nobel Peace Prize in 1995.
--Matthew Bunn Paul had a rare and amazing combination of intellectual brilliance, commitment to making the world a better place, and unfailing warmth and good humor. He was a great mentor and friend to generations of younger scholars and practitioners myself among them. There is no doubt that the world is a safer place, and the store of human knowledge is larger, than it would have been if Paul Doty had never been born.
-- Albert Carnesale Generations of colleagues and students owe their success in large part to his guidance and support. In 1974, he invited me to come to Harvard and help him build what is now the Belfer Center, and he brought me under his wing. Because of him, Ive had opportunities beyond my most optimistic dreams, and memories to match.
--Ashton B. Carter (Boston Globe, Dec. 6, 2011) Paul had a vision of the role of science in the service of international security, and today so many of his apprentices are working to realize that vision.
--John P. Holdren (Boston Globe, Dec. 6, 2011) Paul Doty was a giant in science and a pioneer in building institutions for communicating relevant insights from science to policy makers. He was a mentor and an inspiration to me and many others.
--Matthew Meselson (Science, 13 Jan. 2012) Doty's seminal contribution to science was the discovery that the separated chains of the DNA double helix can be specifically reunited. It was known that the two chains of the double helix could be separated by heating. But Doty's laboratory showed that the separated chains could be rejoined by incubation in solution a few degrees below the melting point, a result that came as a surprise to many . The discovery opened the way to the development of many of the most powerful and widely employed methods of biological investigation and genetic engineering in current use, including primer-initiated DNA sequencing, polymerase chain reaction, and chip-based analysis of transcription.
At Harvard Doty became highly effective in building molecular biology as a field distinct from traditional biology and chemistry, first in recruiting James Watson as assistant professor and later in creating a separate department, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB). Nearly all of the 16 eventual members of the new department were or became members of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and three received Nobel prizes.
--Michael Nacht: I had the privilege of being Pauls colleague and friend since 1973, the start of what has become the Belfer Center. He changed my life, as he did countless others. Paul had an indefatigable commitment to excellence.
--Joseph S. Nye We served together on the Ford-Mitre Report on Nuclear Energy .I then joined the Carter Administration to try to implement some of our recommendations, including the cessation of reprocessing and the breeder reactor program. Our policy was not popular with the nuclear industry and I was heavily criticized. But Paul was always there with scientific advice as well as emotional support. He was always a friend in need and deed .
--William Tobey: Across nine decades, starting with teaching his fellow high school chemistry students, he was committed to teaching and mentoring younger generations. I will always appreciate his generosity with his time and wisdom.
--James Walsh Paul was a leading light in the great generation of our field. Together with people like George Rathjens, Carl Kaysen, Jack Ruina and others, he helped shape the post-war world and prevent a Soviet-US nuclear war that would have ended life as we know it.
--Stephen Walt (Foreign Policy, Dec. 6, 2011, Paul Doty 1920-2011) What I remember most was his rare ability to cut to the heart of an issue, and his quiet fearlessness in confronting those with whom he disagreed. He was, in short, a truth-teller . In that most basic of virtues, he was a model for us all.
--Dorothy Zinberg Paul Doty never took a course in leadership; it was in his DNA. Even in his last visit to the Center weeks before he died, he was thinking about the future. Casting his critical eye about, he suggested that the library get rid of its Cold War books, create an alumni/ae association that could in time become a new institute, and publish a book of best articles from International Security .His unique combination of intellectual brilliance, organizational skill, laser-like focus on issues of freedom and peace all interspersed with wit, mischievousness, drollery, and unspoken insight left a powerful human and humane legacy.

I hope it is not too late to realize that joyful is my precious birth. If we are deep in the disease of an addiction it is impossible to realize and to take advantage of our precious birth. When we are sober, clean and free from anything that obsesses or controls the mind we have emotional and spiritual health. Only then can we begin to appreciate our precious birth.
Every human that is born has a precious birth. The difference is that some of us have the perfect conditions to realize our potential while others are born into conditions where their potential can be hindered by external factors they had no control over, like sickness, … Read more »

March 20, 2013 —
There are some insects that just don't know when to quit, it seems. On a mild day in winter, you may spot small flying insects, spiders, or even the striking Mourning Cloak butterfly. These insects are protected by antifreeze-like substances in their bodies, and it doesn't take too much mild weather to see them emerge for a temporary hiatus from their deep winter dormancy.
Some favorites to see on a March day, if there is still snow on the ground, are springtails, or snow fleas. Found around areas of leaf litter year round, they are easily seen in the winter when they appear on top of the snow. In some cases, these 1/16-inch-long snow fleas carpet snow cover by the thousands, making the snow appear dirty or pepper covered.
Springtails do not appear very mobile, with their short legs and wingless bodies, but when they want to move springtails live up to their name. Two appendages under their abdomen (furcula) can flick the springtail up to several inches away. They look like fleas when they seemingly instantly disappear, but they share none of a flea's bad habits such as biting you or your pet. Springtails are beneficial as they feed on leaf litter and convert it to soil.
In 2005, scientists from Queens University in Canada studied the "antifreeze" protein present in springtails; the aim of this research was to isolate a compound that could be used to enable storing human transplant organs at a lower temperature, thus increasing their preservation time.
You may see some additional snow cover interspersed with mild days from March into April, making it an ideal time to spot some snow-fleas on snow near gardens or forest habitats.

Our Founding Family
The story of the Golden Grain Company is a classic success saga of an Italian immigrant family...
In 1890, 19-year old Domenico DeDomenico traveled to America from Italy. The immigration officer at Ellis Island, misunderstanding his Italian name, wrote "Charlie" on the immigration papers, so Domenico used the name Charlie for rest of his life. Moving from New York to Boston, he worked as a barber for three years until he could read and write English. In 1895, Charlie moved to California, where he heard the streets were paved with gold. There he started a fresh produce store. Over a ten-year period his business thrived and he added three more stores.
In the tradition of family arrangements, Charlie's closest friend gave him a portrait of Maria Ferrigno from Salerno, Italy. Charlie sent for Maria, and after a brief courtship, they married and later produced six children. Maria's family sold their pasta factory in Italy to join the family in California. In 1912, Maria persuaded Charlie to set up a pasta factory, Gragnano Products, Inc., in the Mission district in San Francisco. The successful business sold 25 and 50-pound boxes of pasta to Italian stores and restaurants in the area. Four of Charlie's sons, Paskey, Vince, Tom and Anthony, worked with him to build the pasta business.
In 1934, the oldest son, Paskey, proposed a new name for the company based on a newspaper ad for "Golden Grain" smoking Tobacco. The family agreed that Golden Grain was a good name for macaroni and the name "Golden Grain Macaroni Company" was adopted.
A neighbor's Armenian style rice pilaf recipe inspired the original idea for Rice-A-Roni, a mixture of rice and macaroni. Tom's wife Lois served the dish at a family dinner, and it became a favorite of the DeDomenico families. In 1958, Vince mixed a dry chicken soup mix, made at the plant, with rice and vermicelli to create the San Francisco treat which he named Rice-A-Roni. The unique preparation of the dish, and its wonderful flavor and convenience, made the dish one of America's favorite products. The Rice-A-Roni jingle, The San Francisco Treat® slogan, "Saute and Simmer" and scenic San Francisco became familiar to every household in America in the 60's as the product was introduced through television advertising.
A trip to Italy in 1964 inspired Vince to develop Noodle Roni Parmesano based on the classic "Noodles Alfredo" dish served to him at Alfredo's restaurant in Rome. With the growing popularity of pasta, the line has expanded with new shapes and sauces and has been renamed to Pasta Roni to better describe its diverse shapes.
The Quaker Oats Company purchased the Golden Grain Company from the DeDomenico family in 1986.

text: MTA President Paul Toner on Patrick's Decision to Direct $55M to Higher Education We thank the governor for his deep and ongoing commitment to public education and to Massachusetts students. The governor could have spent this stimulus money in many worthwhile ways, but in making today's announcement he showed his understanding of the needs of our students, our community colleges, our state universities and UMass. The governor continues to make a significant effort to do whatever he can to strengthen our public higher education institutions and our public schools – and for that, he deserves the applause of families throughout Massachusetts. We recognize that our state, like the rest of the nation, continues to face difficult economic times, that money is scarce and that stimulus funding is in great demand. With that said, we must do all we can to ensure that first-rate public colleges and universities remain accessible to current and future generations of Massachusetts students. Funding for public higher education has been hard to come by in recent years and has seen substantial cuts since fiscal year 2001. It is our hope that this new funding is the beginning of the end of that trend, and the MTA will continue working with both the governor and the Legislature to build for the future. Our public colleges, state universities and UMass are not only hugely important to the students who attend them, but to business and industry, which cannot grow and prosper without the help of an educated work force. The MTA and all of its members have fought long and hard to promote understanding of that great truth throughout the state, and the governor's decision is an indication of the success of our efforts to spread the word about the value of our public higher education system and the urgent need to provide adequate resources for it. We laud Governor Patrick for consistently recognizing the importance of education, and we urge everyone on Beacon Hill to follow his lead and make our public colleges, state universities and UMass a budget priority now and in the years ahead.

Debt owed to wounded warriors
Somewhere in Afghanistan a couple of years ago, a young American on patrol with a platoon of other U.S. Army troops was looking forward to the end of his tour of duty. Back home, a young wife and the most beautiful little girl in the world waited for him.
He woke up in a field hospital, still groggy from the drugs his buddies had injected him with to dull the pain. He remembered only a flash and a massive shock in his lower body.
Hours later, doctors told him one leg was gone and the other was hopelessly mangled. In the months that followed, he learned to use a prosthetic leg.
His life is changed forever – because he chose to serve his fellow Americans in the military.
Some of them realize they owe him and other wounded warriors more than a salute on Veterans Day. They also owe him some time in the great outdoors, a few chances to demonstrate that he still has the right stuff – and some fun.
More than a dozen military families enjoyed some of that last week in a special program at Seven Springs Mountain Resort in Pennsylvania. They were special guests of the resort, in the third year of an ongoing program to give something back to veterans who have paid terrible prices for serving us – and to say thank-you to their families.
As we reported, Seven Springs joined with the Wounded Warrior Patrol and Three Rivers Adaptive Sports to give the families a few days of rest and relaxation in a beautiful atmosphere – and, using special equipment, to get some of the vets involved in winter sports such as skiing.
Our reporter witnessed heart-warming scenes during his time there. "It gives you a little bit of your life back," one veteran told him.
There ought to be more programs like that.
Lots of ideas come to mind. What outdoor activity that many of us enjoy can not be offered to the wounded warriors, with a little creativity and perhaps, some special equipment? What resort can not find a way to host some of them and their families for a few days?
More of what happened at Seven Springs needs to occur all over the country.
If you're interested and need a bit of "technical advice," I'm certain the folks at Seven Springs, the Wounded Warrior Patrol and Three Rivers Adaptive Sports can help.
Let's do this.

Located in Emery Utah, we mine and manufacture humic and fulvic ingredients for agriculture, animal feeds, cosmetics, dietary supplements, bio-remediation, organic gardening, and lawn care.
Humic acids are becoming a significant bio-stimulant to mainstream agricultural practices because of the many benefits that it contributes to the soil. Currently a crop is removed from the field and no plant material is returned to the soil. The humification process is hindered if no material is added and as a result the soil has reduced levels of organic compounds that will transition into humic acid. This process creates soils low in organic matter that may lack sufficient levels of humic acids to maintain proper fertilizer retention. Adding humic acid to a fertilizer program may help increase nutrient availability and retain the nutrients in the root zone.
Inside our site, you will find a complete line of products for all your humate needs. Check out our frequently asked questions if you would like to know more about humic shale, leonardite, and organic matter function in your soil.
