The evening of Saturday, August 2, was when the big event was held. Kippy Edge, San Patricio's famous county librarian, was the master of ceremonies for the night. Many special awards were presented throughout the evening, which included the Citizen of the Year Award, the Outstanding Service Organization Award and Humanitarian of the Year Award.
In addition to these awards, other special awards were given because, as Taft's Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Mary Griffin put it, "All these individuals and groups go above and beyond. Without this group of concerned citizens, the chamber would not be able to do their work."
This community-oriented sentiment was echoed in Dr. Ray Garza's speech. He is president of the Taft Chamber of Commerce and Taft Junior High assistant principal. He spoke of the importance of the fine folks in the community and their hard work and tremendous effort.
Taft ISD, the City of Taft, Taft EMS, Taft Police Department, fire department, public works, The Taft Tribune, as well as Boy Scout Troop 43, Cub Scout Pack 43, John Turany (Santa Claus), Melanie Hickey and Crop Production Services all received recognition.
The Taft Kiwanis Club, which sponsors and chooses the Citizen of the Year award, gave the award this year to Denise and Leslie Hitt.
Donnie Riojas, Director of The Taft Kiwanis Club, expressed the reasons which led to the club choosing the Hitt's as the citizens of the year for Taft, "We were very inspired. They step up to the plate, they are volunteers who make things better in Taft- they initiated the first Christmas tree (two years ago), they sparked the drive to start the lighting which is held in the park downtown every Christmas. They also sponsored a building for the Little League, work concessions for sports games, remodeled the kiva hut and have helped in so many ways. It's a team effort, they are both all about improving the community."
The Taft Chamber of Commerce Humanitarian of the Year award, which has been given to the kind humanitarians of the community as an honorary award since 1977, was given to Evelyn Sinast.
Jeannie Raegan, volunteer at the Holy Family Church spoke of Sinast's accomplishments and how inspirational she has been to the community in Taft, "She does a lot of work there [at the church] and at other churches. It's nice when people help and she helps even though she's retired. She'll help you anytime you need it. She's helped several people. Evelyn will give you a ride to the doctor if you need one. She is there for you, she helps me and lots of other people."
Outstanding accomplishments from the individuals of the community were highlighted and so were the awesome organizations like the Taft FFA who received The Outstanding Service Organization award from the Taft Chamber of Commerce.
Introductions were also made for the new Ambassadors for Taft: Rylie Robertson, Ricardo Trevino, Patricia Luera, and Jonathan Martinez.
In addition to their awards, The office of Congressman Blake Farenthold of District 27 gave certificates of appreciation to the FFA, Citizens of the Year, and Humanitarian of the Year.
Griffin believed the evening was successful.
"It was well attended, I thought it went very well," Griffin said. "We were excited to be able to honor and recognize such outstanding Taft individuals and organizations. It's a special night to honor Taft."

Compassion began its ministry in Indonesia in 1968 with the Child Sponsorship Program. Between 1984 and 1985, because of financial integrity issues we terminated our largest partnership which resulted in the closure of most of our child development centers in the country. But in 1988, the Child Sponsorship Program was expanded once again.
We started the Leadership Development Program there in 2005 and the Child Survival Program in 2009.
Country Director
Handoko Ngadiman became the Indonesian Country Director in 2010 and comes to our ministry with more than 10 years of leadership experience.
Handoko has served in high-level roles, including as the Vice Executive Director of the Institute for Community and Development Studies in Jakarta, and as the National Director of Habitat for Humanity Indonesia.
At present, Handoko is also Chief Operating Officer of the nonprofit arm of Abbalove Ministries, a position he's held since October 2008.
In addition to his professional background, Handoko holds two master's degrees. He has a Master of Arts degree in Mission and Development Practices from the Oxford Center for Mission Studies and Wales University in the United Kingdom.
He also has a master's in Development Management from the Asian Institute of Management in Manila, the Philippines.
Implementing Church Partners
Implementing Church Partners are local churches in Indonesia with whom we work to deliver child development programs and ministry in the field.
- Spiritual Climate
Indonesia is primarily Muslim, with 86 percent of the population being Muslim and just a little more than 5 percent being Protestant, although many believe the number of Christians is actually much higher and they are gaining in influence.
Our Implementing Church Partners don't usually face any opposition. But in some highly concentrated Muslim areas, churches have difficulty gaining legal status.
- Unique Challenges
Because Indonesia is primarily Muslim, it affects how we approach ministry and minister to the children. We have to be sensitive about how we teach Christianity to children from different religious backgrounds.
In some areas, such as Timor, Sumba, and Nias, we face poor infrastructure, compared with Java Island. This creates challenges in how to minister in the area, including having fast communication.
- Contributions
Implementing Church Partners provide rooms for child development center activities, human resources, and support from the congregation.
- Partner Development Activities
We provide training for pastors and child development center workers.
Child Survival Program
- Caregiver Literacy
Typically classes are held once a week. Caregivers engage in group discussion, presentations and seminars.
- Income-Generating Skills
Skills taught are baking, cooking, knitting, handicrafts, breeding and farming.
Classes are held every week, or in some programs, quarterly.
- Health Care
We encourage mothers to receive prenatal care and immunizations at local clinics. The Child Survival Program reimburses them for these costs, including delivery.
- Nutritional Support
Through the Child Survival Program we teach caregivers about balanced diets. We also give mothers additional nutritional groceries every time the implementers visit their homes.
- Involvement of Fathers
There are parents' meetings for fathers to attend, as well as a Child Survival Program parents' community.
To encourage involvement of fathers, we ask the mothers to write a letter to their husband about what they have learned in the Child Survival Program.
- Transitioning Out of the Child Survival Program
To determine whether or not children are ready to transition into Child Sponsorship Program, our staff assess whether or not families have met the desired outcomes of the program.
- Areas of Expansion for the Child Survival Program
We would like to expand into west and eastern Indonesia because the needs are great there. Maternal and infant mortality rates are high, as are rates of malnutrition.
Child Sponsorship Program
Your sponsorship of a child in Indonesia provides a variety of benefits.
School children are busy with school during the week days. Each child development center arranges their schedule according to when children go to school. Typically they meet in the afternoons after school.
- Meeting Times
- 3 to 5 year olds: 6 to 8 hours per week
- 6 to 8 year olds: 6 hours per week
- 9 to 11 year olds: 4 to 6 hours per week
- 12 to 14 year olds: 4 to 6 hours per week
- 15 to 18 year olds: 4 hours per week
- 19 +: 2 to 4 hours per week
Children are given meals once to twice a week. Meals might consist of rice, meat, vegetables and fruit. The children also get a snack at least once a week. A snack might be cake, bread, a donut and milk.
Typical Indonesian foods that are rich with protein, such as "tempe" and tofu, are widely provided for the children.
The child development center arranges for groups of children to go to the nearest community clinic for basic medical checkups, dental checkups and vaccinations. Some child development centers are visited by a medical doctor every six months.
Children participate in a sports activity at least twice a month and they attend a spiritual camp at least once a year. Cultural activities, such as traditional dance, painting, singing and music, are held at least twice a month, especially for children more than 12 years old.
For community service, children participate in art ministry, music ministry and vocal performances in Sunday services.
We offer relevant activities, such as computer training and English courses, and practical skills training, such as automotive repair and sewing.
Formal schooling provides activities like this, but on a limited basis. These skills are useful to prepare children for work when they are older, so we make sure they have more time to learn them.
Parent meetings are held monthly or bi-monthly. These meetings focus on sharing practical parenting advice, trainings and workshops.
We hope to continue to expand in Sumatra and plan to expand in areas where Christians are concentrated, where we have potential church partners. These areas are also known for having a high concentration of poverty, drunkenness, child neglect and crime.
Leadership Development Program
- Universities Attended
Leadership Development Program students attend government universities.
- Location of Universities
Most the universities are located in the capital city or in other large cities, spread throughout West, Central and east Java, as well as Bali.
- Working Students
Most students do not work while in the university.
- Service Opportunities
Students engage in Leadership Development Program campaigns to help Implementing Church Partners motivate children to focus on their education.
The Leadership Development Program students give their testimonies to challenge the younger children to have dreams and plans for their own future.
- Leadership Development Program Meetings
Leadership Development Program students meet all together twice a year, in January for a New Year's camp and in August for a summer camp.
- Specialty Curriculum Topics or Resources
Leadership Development Program curriculum topics include time management, study skills, effective communication and public speaking, conflict management and reconciliation, as well as interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence skills.
- Mentors
We connect our Leadership Development Program students with the Navigators student fellowship in the university to find mentors. We also facilitate the students to have one-on-one mentoring with our staff.
- Career Placement Assistance
We do not offer any formal career placement assistance, but we share information about job openings and opportunities in the marketplace.
Complementary Interventions
Our core child sponsorship program, while comprehensive, does not address all obstacles to a child's healthy development. The Complementary Interventions program was created to work with our holistic child development model to provide additional services, such as our AIDS Initiative, Bibles for all children, disaster relief and water projects.
Complementary Interventions in Indonesia include nonformal education and provision for major medical and health needs.

Audit: Corrections overspends on health care by $4.2MBy Neal P. Goswami
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | October 29,2013MONTPELIER — The Department of Corrections has overspent a health care services contract for inmates by $4.2 million over the past three years, according to a report released Monday by State Auditor Doug Hoffer.
Corrections officials said Monday the additional spending is the result of unforeseen medical care required by inmates under their care. Such expenses cannot be planned for or reduced, the department maintains.
According to Hoffer's report, the state spent $53.3 million for the original, three-year $49.1 million contract with Correct Care Solutions for inmates housed in Vermont prisons. The amount includes a $4.7 million management fee.
The report notes that the monitoring system in place did not minimize costs as much as it should. However, the system has shown signs of improvement, according to Hoffer.
"DOC's cost monitoring was not robust during the earlier years of the contract but has improved since late 2012. Moreover, DOC provided evidence that it expressed concerns to CCS about cost overruns during the course of the contract and has explored ways with the contractor to control costs," Hoffer wrote in a letter presenting the report to legislative leaders and Shumlin administration officials.
The audit "did not find questionable costs or errors of a material nature." But it faults the "cost-plus-management fee" contract type because it places financial risk on the state. Such contracts provide no incentive for the contract to minimize costs, the report states.
A Corrections' memo responding to a draft of the audit dated Oct. 15 and included in the report outlines why the state is using such a contract. Previous flat fee contracts produced "varying reports on the quality of care and services provided," the memo states.
Additionally, the contractor gave notice in 2006 that it planned to terminate the contract because costs were exceeding the agreed upon payment, according to the memo.
Meanwhile, the audit also faulted Corrections for not pursuing penalties for missed benchmarks. The contract allows the state to apply penalties to CCS for failing to meet certain performance goals. The state did not begin reducing payments as allowed until December 2012 "even though CCS had not fulfilled certain contractual requirements from many months earlier."
"Accordingly, DOC did not effectively use one of the tools that it had available to prompt performance in accordance with contract requirements. Since DOC began assessing penalties, it has continued to apply them to monthly performance periods, when applicable," the report states.
The Corrections' memo admits that penalties from the first two years of the contract "were not assessed in a timely fashion." The memo blamed CCS for failing to provide requisite information and staff turnover among the Corrections personnel overseeing the contract.
Dr. Delores Burroughs-Biron, medical director for the corrections department, said the spending beyond the contract amount is the result of inmates needing more health services than anticipated.
"You can only predict, really, so far, what it will cost to provide health care services for an undetermined number of individuals," she said. "You can never predict — Medicaid can't predict, Blue Cross Blue Shield can't predict — who's going to get very ill."
Vermont houses about 1,600 inmates in-state at any given time. Hundreds more are imprisoned in out-of-state facilities. Burroughs-Biron said out-of-state inmates also spend time under the state's care, however.
"Even though we only contain 1,600 in-state, all 2,000 have to pass through our doors at one point or another," she said. "So, we're really providing care to that entire population."
The state is always at risk of overspending because it provides comprehensive health care coverage for all inmates, Burroughs-Biron said.
"How can you protect the state from big, unforeseen costs?" she said. "You can't, unless you say, 'Well, we're not going to provide certain kinds of care.'"
Providing health care to inmates is more expensive in Vermont than most other states because the state operates eight different facilities for its 1,600 inmates. There is no opportunity to achieve economies of scale, according to Burroughs-Biron.
"In each of those facilities we have to have adequate staff to take care of the health and mental health needs of inmates," she said. "There has to be duplication because of the way that our system is spread out."
Corrections officials have been looking to revamp the delivery of health services for inmates since 2011. Burroughs-Biron said a more cost-effective delivery system is being sought and a request for proposals will likely be initiated in the spring for potential contractors, she said.

North Central College today is fertile ground for collaborations across disciplines and experiments with curriculum, facilities design and technology. It adds up to better opportunities for student learning and liberal arts education relevant to the 21st century.
Doing business in a global marketplace takes academic preparation in subjects like language, global studies, multicultural communication, international relations and a host of other liberal arts topics.
North Central's newest graduate degree, the Master of International Business Administration (MIBA), combines an international curriculum with a short-term study abroad requirement and traditional business courses. The degree answers a need for professionals who want to understand the complexities of international trade and economics as well as the related technological, social and ethical issues.
"Global business today requires an understanding of complex situations and cultures," says Robert Moussetis, associate professor of international business (photo, right).
The best way to gain international experience is to go abroad, he says, and graduates with an academic background in international business and international experience become extremely attractive to corporations.
Moussetis points out that Chicago-based companies have 4,500 locations in more than 150 countries, and there are 2,900 daily flights from Chicago to more than 200 cities worldwide.
The new degree prepares students with majors in global studies and similar fields to find careers in the business world. The required study abroad experience can be fulfilled in December 2012 with a trip that focuses on the role of Greece in the southeast European Union. Future trips will include Costa Rica, China and United Arab Emirates. New courses encompass Globalization and the Manager, International Business Strategy and International Entrepreneurship. In addition, students must complete an international business project or internship.
"In short, the demand for international business professionals will continue to increase," Moussetis adds.
North Central NOW Spring 2012

Only 26 Days!!
….until school starts, that is. Yep, the countdown has begun in our house. I'm pretty sure the kids are not looking forward to it nearly as much as I am. I mean, geez, a whole week has passed again since my last post! Too much peace-keeping and too little blogging will never get me onto that Latest Leaders List again.
Strange Photo of The Week
At first glance, this seemed to be a rather mundane shot of Rangers pitcher Neftali Feliz, accompanied by a paragraph or two detailing his big-league debut. Feliz was pretty impressive, pitching two innings in relief, striking out four and hitting 101 mph on the radar gun.
So what's up, then, with the Dora the Explorer backpack? I always assumed teams provided equipment bags for their players. Some kind of rookie hazing? Who knows? I guess if you can throw a baseball over 100 mph you can carry any kind of bag you want.
Strange Advertisement of the Week
Several days this week, the front of the Inquirer's sports section featured this ad across the bottom of the page:
Since I scanned it in from my paper, this image is a lot smaller than the original. Let's focus on the on-deck circle pictured to the left:
Maybe it's just me, but why does it look like something really bad happened here? I'm assuming all those smudges are supposed to be dirt, but it brings to mind some sort of sports/horror/slasher movie. Maybe about a fan who got tired of batters striking out with the bases loaded to end the inning? (not going to name names, but I almost gave a Big Wienie award to a certain slugger who did just that the other night) And no, I don't know enough about Photoshop to be able to change the colors in the image.
Caption Contest Winners
Thanks all for some great captions for the two photos in my last post! I really got a kick out of all of them, but here are my two favorites:
(Sung to the Hokey Pokey) You put your left bat in, you put your left bat out……
(Russell to Varsho) – Come on, you've got to swing your hips more.
Thanks to Julia of Julia's Rants for this one!
As I expected, this next photo generated some rather interesting suggestions. The winner chose the subtle route:
"Wishing can make it so"
Thanks to Jenn at Phillies Phollowers for the cleanest suggestive entry!
Rays Renegade and devilabrit also submitted some great captions – thanks to you both as well! I'll try to dig up some more amusing photos for next time.
Dang! I just checked the score again, and the Phils are down 3-0 against the Marlins. The Phillies' offense is managing to make Ricky Nolasco (who sports a 4.83 ERA) look like a Cy Young candidate. Only two hits through the first four innings! Come on guys, you can do better than that! Remember, the Big Wienie Award is waiting!
(Neftali Feliz photo by Tony Gutierrez / Associated Press)

I think the batting circle is a reenactment of last night's slaughter….ugh! Hoping today is better :O)
My guys go back to school on September 2nd! And I agree with you – it looks like someone died on the Phillies logo! And the backpack? There's a picture of Papelbon out there with a pink backpack – I think it is a rookie picture hazing thing.
All I know about the blog leaders is that you most definitely have one of the best around. I know someone who hasn't even posted a new entry since January and he is one of the top 50. How do they determine who is in the top 50. Maybe by the hits.
Keep posting when you can. I know with school starting, it will be more difficult. Haha, you'll get many hits from me when I keep checking to see if you've posted. 🙂

|Photo courtesy of the PRT
The elders stated the only way to end the war was for Afghan President Hamid Karzai to summon a giant shura of all religious scholars and have them settle everything from the war, to laws to be implemented, to what to do with aid and soldiers from all over the world. They were upset that in nine years of his reign President Karzai has done nothing like this.
When a leading PRT member said he hope to start a shura with the elders, PRT, and local Taliban to achieve peace the elders dismissed the PRT's proposal as pointless. A peace shura can "only come from Karzai."
The elders did state they would appreciate PRT support for their clinic. The elders said ,"Just a few days ago a woman died giving birth to a son because there was no medicine. The doctor has left because there is no money to pay him. Give us medicine and money for a doctor. Anything else you give us the Taliban will take and punish us for accepting gifts from you."

Fishing the "One Bug"
Wade Blevins sent me some of his "One Bugs" in the mail last week to try out on our East TN waters and I got a chance today to see how well they worked. I headed over to the French Broad with my canoe hoping to find some topwater smallies again but they were hard to coax into biting today. Caught 4 average males and saw several females on nest so I decided to go after something to take home to the wife. I haven't kept fish in a long time but decided to keep some today. Caught these on both the yellow and the orange one bugs dead drifting them tight against a rock cliff of all places!
Thanks for sending me these Wade, they work great.
Supper tomorrow night!
Those one bugs are something else and Wade is a real nice guy for sure. He introduced me to the addiction that is fly fishing for smallmouths, gave me some one bugs, and later taught me to tie them!
Flyfishing is addictive for any species of fish. Those are some nice bluegill! Do you know that my wife makes some great hushpuppies?
Do you have a recipe for the fly to share with us?

Great to see those flies have been put to good use!
Some of my dad's creations were published several years ago in the Fly Fishing and Tying Journal magazine. Sam's One Bug and Sam's L-Eye-Bee. A friend from TN posted this report several years ago on FAOL.
I sent Gary a copy of the article and can get copies made for instruction. I will see if I can post up a PDF link.
I had today off of work , so I went back to the river again! Caught one pretty good size smallie about 16" this morning and several smaller ones throughout the day. I took a 3 wt bluegill/brookie rod also and caught several more bluegills and redbreast on the one bugs. Had a nice smallmouth on for a couple of jumps before a quick release on the yellow bug. Great couple of days out on the water.
The one bug strikes again! I am want to try it on trout, maybe during hopper season. I bet it will work.
Great to see you are enjoying the bugs and the fish as well.
Yesterday I took my middle son out fishing...it was his gift to me for my birthday ;^). We were able to get on some bream beds on Guntersville then headed to our home creek for a little smallie action. We both had about two dozen bream and a few smallies a piece but no real size.
As the days get longer and hotter sometimes those smaller flies can entice a bite when nothing else will. My dad was adamant about just letting them sit for 10 seconds before you move them. Can't recall the number of times he would hook up with a big fish that was simply sitting under the bug as it splashed down and then a simple take about the 9-10 second mark.
My dad once said he had people report from 7 countries with over 40 different types of fish that have been caught on the one bugs, including cutthroat, rainbows, browns and even grayling. So yes the trout will eat them too.
Wade, thanks for the link for the recipe! The only thing I differ on is that I cut the legs off store-bought poppers as I find that small bluegill get greedy and drag it down. When you set the hook, you get nothing. I give the popper a bit of action with the rod tip and short pulls on the line.
John Torchick
This is a great looking fly, definitely going to give it a shot.
Anyone know a "cheap" way to get 1/4" closed cell foam tubes? Spending 35 cents per fly on just the foam tube - it just seems there should be a way to do it for less.
You can get a 100' roll of closed cell foam backer rod at any hardware store for about $10.00; but only in Grey.
I read that you can sharpen one end of metal tubing and mount it in a drill to cut out foam - how long should the foam cylinders be? I'd think 1" thick ought to be long enough for this method - I wonder how many foam sheets you'd have to glue together for that 1" of depth to cut, and if several layers of 77 adhesive would affect flotation.
Edit - After some searching I found a recommendation to use a Cork Borer - set of 6 different sizes 5mm - 11mm can be had for about $11. So now all I need is a recommendation for getting a thicker sheet/block of foam to cut the bodies out of..

I have some drill bits designed to cut foam block. I will locate the website _ Found it: http://www.jvlnet.com/~swinters/
He also sells foam blocks. It's not the easiest way but does work. I have even glued flip flops together to get certain color patterns.
Fortunately my Dad was able to get the cylinders in bulk years ago before they started selling them in packs of 5 2" long posts. I have them in sizes ranging from 1/32 to 3/4 inch and in about 10 colors. Unfortunately I can not seem to find a supplier that will sell in bulk to me anymore.
A small hand held drimmel will work wonders on shaping the bugs as well as making coned bodies or cupped mouths.
As far as bream pulling on the legs. Yes that does happen, but I have also seen days when the legs moving ever so slightly on the water will bring the big fish up to inspect the fly. If you will double up the legs with a medium size round rubber, twist them about 1/4 turn and use a prismacolor marker to run down one size...release and it will give you a perfect striped leg. It tend to show more movement IMHO. I have also found that on certain patterns if you will only put a small set of double stripes near the very end of the legs it looks very much like a dragon fly with wings splayed on the water and has caused some vicious strikes. All that being said I have multiple patterns with no legs only hackle collars and tails that work well too.

Lewd conduct with young child brings guilty plea
BARRE An East Montpelier man has admitted making a young female relative perform oral sex on him around 2005.
Justin Butler, 34, pleaded guilty Friday to felonious lewd and lascivious conduct in Washington County criminal court in Barre. He agreed to a plea deal of one to five years, all suspended except six months, but will not be sentenced until a pre-sentence investigation is complete.
A charge of felonious lewd and lascivious conduct with a child was dismissed as part of the plea.
According to the police affidavit, which Butler admitted was factual in his guilty plea, he would play a game with the girl when she was around 5 or 6 years old in which Butler would blindfold her and say he would give her a taste test by putting something into her mouth and telling her not to bite it.

Is this really out already? I haven't been keeping track lately. DPPt volume 6 is out, wow! I have to go find myself a copy XD
RIP anime version of Glovehead. Pokemon Adventures will save you.
Rayler was obvious, but Kit was quite surprise. I was expecting it to be Lic for sure, since Viz seems to want to keep Dia's names in three letters and it would have been closer to the original. On the other hand, it's from the middle of the name like Ri is. So Kit is fine I guess, I like it better than Tung at least.

Maui native Shane Victorino made his debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday, a day after he was traded from Philadelphia.
Victorino had two All-Star bids and three Gold Glove awards in eight seasons with the Phillies.
Dodger manager Don Mattingly gave Victorino his familiar jersey number 8 off his own back.
The St. Anthony High School graduate started in left field and batted in the leadoff spot. He went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in LA's loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Victorino is back with the team that drafted him in the sixth round in 1999.
Former St. Louis Crusader Brandon League also made his Dodgers debut on Wednesday after a trade with Seattle on Monday. He worked a third of an inning giving up a hit and a run on 11 pitches.

Eight Arizona jails are about to implement a money-saving plan that might not sit well with some inmates.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who has been in the spotlight before for his controversial policies, including forcing inmates to wear pink underwear, announced a plan to transition all inmates in his county jails to a vegetarian diet, reports Fox 10.
While health might have something to do with the move, it's really meant to save the county money.
"There will be no more meat on the menu, we'll save $100,000," Arpaio told Phoenix affiliate Fox 10.
Arpaio says one Maricopa County policy he famously instituted will remain in tact: Inmates will still have to pay for their meals.

Bacon Maple Ale
Rogue Brewery
When you combine a Rogue Ale with a Voodoo Doughnut it creates Bacon Maple Ale. This crazy concoction contains a baker's dozen number of ingredients including bacon and maple syrup from one of Voodoo's signature doughnuts. Although I don't eat meat I have to admit I was very intrigued by this collision of beer and doughnuts. I wasn't looking forward to any sort of bacon taste. The first sip is a burst of maple syrup and concludes with a smoky aftertaste that definitely stays with you! Personally the smokiness is too overwhelming. This ale is definitely a required taste that I just didn't like. I will be sticking with my Dead Guy Ale.
13 Ingredients:
Malts: Briess Cherrywood Smoked Malt, Weyermann Beechwood Smoked Malt, House-smoked Hickory Malt, Great Western 2 Row, Munich, C15, C75 Malts
Speciality: Applewood-Smoked Bacon, Pure Maple Flavoring
Hops: Perle, Sterling
Yeast & Water: Pacman Yeast, Free Range Coastal Water
14º PLATO
30º Lovibond

Pownal man to pay $700 for importing deer from NY
BENNINGTON A Pownal man agreed to pay a fine of more than $700 for bringing a deer he killed in Hoosick, N.Y., into Vermont in November.
Gregorio F. Messina, 28, pleaded guilty Monday in Bennington criminal court after being cited for importing a wild animal without a permit. Messina was ordered to pay a fine of $716.
In an affidavit, Sgt. Travis Buttle, a state game warden, said he was sent to Messinas home after police got a complaint that several shots had been fired from his home around 8 p.m. Nov. 25.
Buttle said he saw a deer hanging from the back deck.
Messina admitted shooting off his back deck at some targets, Buttle said. When asked about the deer carcass, he said he had shot it Nov. 23 in Hoosick, near the Bennington Battlefield, Buttle said.
I asked him if he was aware of the regulations for importing deer from (New York) and he advised that he was not. I explained to him the regulations related to importing deer from (chronic wasting disease) states, Buttle said.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON The House on Thursday cleared bills to keep the government running through April and...

I have been pumping regularly at work once a day and have been getting around 4 to 5 oz with my PIS pump.
However, my 8 month old daughter who has started on solids requires more milk than that. I have been using the bm to mix it in cereal, etc. so the quantity seems less when she is ready for her afternoon milk session. Is there a way to stimulate more milk supply. I tried it yesterday night after my baby had her dinner but there was no let down and no milk. I tried it this morning before coming to work around 8 AM and it was the same story.
I can only pump once in my 9-5 job. As soon as I go home 5:45 PM, my daughter wants to nurse and she gets up around 2 Am for a feeding and then at around 5 0r 7 AM. Also, is that enough feeding sessions? She has EBM at 3 pm an in cereal for breakfast and sometime if the dinner was not filling then another feeding at 9 PM.
Also, I used to get around 7 oz. However, looks the milk supply is dwindling and now I just get 4 or 5 oz. in a session when obviously with my daughter's increasing age and appetite she needs more.
Any input in milk supply and schedule etc. will be appreciated. Also, how to get some milk at night when whole days tiredness affects the milk supply.

Every other summer during my childhood, our family of six drove from Dayton to Reading, Mass., to visit our maternal grandmother.
On a living-room wall in her house hung a large portrait of her father-in-law (and my great-grandfather), Matthew Cummings. Next to the picture was a proclamation from the city of Cork, Ireland, that — in appreciation of his generosity — granted him the freedom of the city and, if needed, its support.
Grammie never missed the opportunity to share some family history. She liked to tell the story of how an orphaned 15-year-old Matthew left the family farm in Bandon, County Cork; stowed away on a ship leaving the port of Cobh; and landed in Boston in 1875.
He found work in a quarry at $1.50 a day; later became an apprentice at an ironworks; and at age 63, after a varied career, founded a construction company that built many Boston schools, including the high school that my mother attended.
From his early years — and later as president of the Ancient Order of Hibernians — he saved money and sent it to Cork in ardent support of the cause of freedom, inspiring the proclamation.
Last year, eight members of our family traveled to Ireland, where we fervently hoped to see the Cummins (the original spelling) family farm.
Unfortunately, Mom — who had visited there in the 1970s — passed away four years ago without leaving an address or a phone number for her cousin Laurence, grandnephew of Matthew and patriarch of the farm family.
In Ireland, we had a knowledgeable driver and tour guide, Eric, who knew how much we wanted to see the farm.
Halfway through our trip — after visiting the restored King John's Castle in Limerick; exploring the Ring of Kerry; hiking to the Cliffs of Moher; and heading to the port of Cobh, from which the Titanic sailed — we found ourselves in Cork.
Through his connections, Eric got us to the West Cork Heritage Centre in Bandon — where we met an elderly gentleman who listened with interest to what we remembered of our great-grandfather's story.
After we told him all we knew, he left to make a phone call, then returned with the news that Laurence's family was eager to welcome us.
He gave us simple directions that would get us to the farm in 15 minutes — that is, for one who knows the lay of the land.
We spent an hour driving around the countryside on nameless one-lane roads, mistaking Leary's pub on the left for Leary's garage on the right, passing an unmarked turnoff, stopping occasionally and just generally feeling lost.
We were about to give up when we saw two boys playing outside a big, modern house at the intersection of two country lanes. My brother-in-law jumped out of the van to ask whether they knew where old Mr. Cummins lives.
"Surely!" said one of the boys, smiling. "Go down this road and past the field of cows. There's a blue car in the driveway."
We passed not one but five fields of cows and saw no blue car.
Certain that we had passed it, Eric pulled over and stopped an approaching car. The driver told him to turn the van around, that she would take us there.
The Cummins farmhouse stands back from the road a bit, so we might be excused for not seeing the blue car. Yet there it was — as was the family we so much wanted to meet.
Greeting us were cousin Laurence, 82; his sweet wife, Mary; their son Laurence, who represents the eighth generation to run the farm; two daughters, Joan and Noirin; and a couple of grandchildren, including the boy who had given us directions.
We needed well more than 15 minutes to reach the warm hugs they showered on their American relatives, but the family gathering and stories about previous generations of Cumminses proved well worth every wrong turn on the rural roads of County Cork.
As we celebrate St. Patrick's Day on Monday, we'll toast our distant family with a pint of Guinness, picture the smiling faces of our cousins and remember the beautiful vista of the Irish countryside from the old family farm.

My daughter has been struggling with her colors. This is so fun for her to use and she really enjoys playing with the magnets. She doesn't even realize she is practicing her colors. Now she is so excited to work with them and do color sorting time. I would totally buy this again.

Great for a mix of activities such as sorting and counting. Good size - larger paintpots than I was expecting. Sticks to my magnetic wall well. Worried they may not last long as easy to mark with teeth bites or bend and crease.

About Me Grandparent, Parent Of Multiples (Twins etc), Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
Splash of Color Magnetic Sorting Set includes 8 magnetic color paint can frames and 40 magnets. It is perfect for whiteboards in a home school environment or simply on the refrigerator, as it works on any magnetic surface. The learning possibilities are endless with this set. Children can sort the objects by color but the set also includes an activity guide with ideas for vocabulary and early math skills.We put our set on the refrigerator and let our daughter decide how to use it. I didn't tell her any "rules" but just handed her each object one by one. She immediately sorted all the objects in the corresponding colored can. I decided to pull out the guide and try some other play ideas, as well as creating some of our own.Since she had no problems matching the colors, we moved on to sounds. We started asking her to name objects that began with certain sounds. I would put two or three objects on the board, such as the carrot, cat and banana and ask her to find the one that started with "buh" sound. The sorting set complements her alphabet letters well when using this technique. It really helped her to visualize the sound of a letter with one of the magnetic objects.We also played guessing games to help her sort, like "what do you like to eat on hot days?" (ice cream). She also likes to count how many objects are in a can. There really are so many ways to use the Splash of Color Magnetic Sorting Set and it's a great tool to aid in learning. With it on the refrigerator, I can easily teach while cooking dinner, too!

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
I am always looking for fun ways to help my son learn. He is 2 years old and is so interested in the world around him. He is always asking 'What's that Mom?'. I love that he is so curious (even though his questions are non-stop) and I want to give him all the knowledge that he will take in!!We received the Splash of Color Magnetic Sorting Set from Learning Resources a while ago and it has been a great way to help my little guy learn his learningcolors.He has so much fun sticking these magnets to the fridge and grouping them into colors. It keeps his little hands busy while I am in the kitchen trying to make dinner and I love that he is learning through creative play.This set comes in all your basic colors like RED, GREEN, YELLOW, ORANGE, PURPLE, BLUE, BLACK & BROWN. There are also several ways you can play with this magnetic set. My son especially loves naming off each 'item' before he puts them into their matching paint can. We also had fun using it as a 'puzzle' by putting each shape into it's correct space in the paint can. The Splash of Color Magnetic Sorting Set is great for teaching your child colors and a lot more!!
Love this game!
By Erica
from www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com
My kiddos love the cute game pieces and it's been pulled out several times since it's arrival. The pieces are large enough for little fingers to handle easily and they're very durable. I also like that it's so versatile. There are several ways you can use these here are a few ideas: -Sort pieces by color -Say the names of each item, have students say what letter or sound they hear at the beginning of the word. -Using one color bucket and it's matching pieces, let your student look at the pieces quickly, then have them close their eyes. Remove one of the pieces and have them open their eyes and tell you which one is missing. -Close your eyes and let your student pick one piece. Have them describe it to you, and you guess what it is. Repeat with you describing the piece and the student guessing. -Pick 4-5 same colored pieces and one different colored piece. Put a group of objects on the board and let your student tell which one is different. Have them explain why it is different. -Sort objects by type such as food, toys, animals, etc.EricaDisclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this game for review on my blog, www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com.

Such a great tool for learning colors!
By m_oachs

When I started teaching my son his numbers, letters and colors, for some reason, colors seemed to be the hardest for him! He would mix up his colors a lot and not be able to identify them!He is a lot better at them now but I still continue to have him practice them to make sure he has them learned for sure!One of our favorite ways he practices his colors is by the Splash of Color Magnetic Sorting Set from Learning Resources!This color sorting set makes a color splash on any whiteboard, refrigerator or magnetic surface! It is specifically made for ages 3-5, but my son is two and loves to use and play with this!Any child can learn their colors and practice their sorting skills by sorting these magnetic objects into their color cans. It builds color recognition, vocabulary and early math skills!I love this sorting set a little more than our other favorite color sorting set, the Farmer's Market Color Sorting Set, another great product from Learning Resources, because it is easy to set up, easy to put away and doesn't leave fruits and veggies all over my house! :) I love that this set is magnetic so my son can play with it on any magnetic surface and keep the mess off the floor!Plus, this set has a lot more colors for him to learn - including brown, blue and black, which the Farmer's Market does not include!If you are looking for an easy to set up, easy to sort, and fun color learning activity, then make sure to try the Splash of Color Magnetic Sorting Set today!This product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.
A splash in our home!

My 2 year old and 4 year old had a ball with this, I placed all the paint cans on our refrigerator, took out all the magnet pieces inside the paint can and placed them in the box on the floor and had my 2 year old not only match the color pieces inside the corresponding paint can, as she did that she named the colors but she also was able to place them in the correct shape opening. This was good for thinking skills because the openings only had 1 piece per opening that the magnetic piece would fit into! What a great way for children to learn their colors, great for dexterity and thinking skills![@]

Fun learning colors
An Excellent Counting and Sorting Toy
By Planet Weidknecht
from Pflugerville, Texas
Learning Resources has hit the mark again! Their development team has created another awesome educational toy called the Splash of Color Magnetic Sorting Set. This is the type of toy I love to have in my early childhood classroom because it can be used in so many different ways. It's a huge 48 piece set including eight paint can magnets, and five matching color magnets for each paint can. The quality is unmistakably Learning Resources and I know these will last in my classroom for years. The colors are bright and the pieces are thick enough for little fingers to pull off a magnetic surface. We first did a teacher-directed activity where we started with all eight paint cans empty. I held up each item and asked in which color paint can it should go and the children called out the color. This is a very versatile toy! My two year olds will be using it for item recognition and color recognition, my threes for counting and sorting, and my fours will be using it for early math like adding and subtracting. I even provided a cup of dry paintbrushes so they can pretend to paint each item with paint from the paint cans.Disclosure: I received this product at no charge in exchange for my honest review.

Tracy Morgan's Fiancee Is Pregnant
Tracy Morgan's fiancee Megan Wollover is pregnant and due to give birth to the couple's first child this summer.
The actor, 44, revealed the news to People.com on Thursday just hours before the series finale of his NBC show "30 Rock."
"I am over the moon excited and just want a happy and healthy baby and a safe delivery for Megan," he gushed.
Morgan and Wollover got engaged last year. Morgan has three adult sons with his ex-wife Sabrina: Bobby, Tracy Jr., and Chris.
In January 2012 the comedian had a health scare after fainting during a party at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah. His representative blamed that incident on exhaustion and altitude sickness. Morgan was hospitalized again in May for flu-like symptoms.
In addition to "30 Rock," Morgan was a member of "Saturday Night Live" and has starred films such as "Half Baked," "The Longest Yard," and "Death at a Funeral."

Dairy program another casualty of Capitol Hill gridlock
WASHINGTON Largely overlooked in the Capitol Hill standoff that led to a partial shutdown of the federal government, separate legislation that extended portions of the nations farm programs including a financial safety net for dairy farmers also expired with the Tuesday start of the 2014 fiscal year.
While it appears the expiration of the farm legislation will have little immediate impact on Vermonts 1,000 dairy farms, the situation could change dramatically if a new farm bill is not approved by the end of 2013 and so-called permanent law governing farm programs is allowed to kick in Jan. 1.
Were in a dysfunctional mode arguing about a government shutdown and fall(ing) down on our debt, so many things could be a casualty in a destructive fight and action on the farm bill could be one of them, said Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., alluding to the forthcoming fight when the federal government reaches its debt ceiling in about two weeks.
Among the farm provisions that expired Tuesday was the Milk Income Loss Contract Program. As a result, MILC will no longer compensate dairy farmers across the country when milk prices fall below a certain level currently $16.84 per hundredweight in the Boston market.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said milk prices are currently high enough that, in the short term, the absence of MILC or a similar program should not have a major impact on the dairy industry. But looking down the road, Vermont farmers need more consistent policy-making from Washington in order to make a living, said Leahy, a former chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee.
Meanwhile, agriculture officials in Vermont are nervous. Alison Kosakowski, communications director for the Vermont Agriculture Agency, said it is important to have a safety net in place in case the price of milk drops.
Right now, farmers are not going to feel any impact because MILC is not making payments, Kosakowski said. But should things change and MILC is not available, that would cause a problem.
The last permanent farm bill, enacted in 2008, expired a year ago at the end of the 2012 fiscal year. In January, Congress approved an extension of many of the programs in the 2008 bill; that extension ran out Tuesday.
Legislators and lobbyists see several possible scenarios between now and the end of the year. One involves passage of a new long-term farm bill before Jan. 1; another could be a further extension of the 2008 farm legislation.
If Congress fails to take such actions, permanent farm law which involves provisions of a farm bill passed more than 60 years ago, in 1949 would kick in. The activation of permanent law would require the government to buy milk at a price that is about twice todays rate.
According to statistics compiled by the National Milk Producers Federation, a gallon of milk cost about $3.45 in grocery stores in August. Federation spokesman Chris Galen said this could double if permanent law takes effect.
If you take away these (MILC) programs, it goes to a boom-or-bust (cycle), Leahy said. It hurts consumers, it hurts the farmers.
But there is currently no indication that Congress will focus on passing a long-term farm bill anytime soon. Welch said he has had conversations about such legislation with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., but that both leaders exhibited reluctance to move ahead on the matter.
The Democrat-controlled Senate in June approved a long-term farm bill reauthorization on a bipartisan vote, but the Republican-controlled House has struggled to pass similar legislation. House conservatives have demanded sharper cuts in farm program spending, and many Democrats have objected to reductions in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps.
The Senate bill contains a provision designed to replace the MILC program, while creating a more comprehensive safety net that focuses on feed costs as well as milk prices. Critics of the MILC program contend that it has not been tied to the cost of feeding cows and covered only a limited amount of annual milk production.
Galen said the National Milk Producers Federation prefers the Senate version of the farm bill, which includes the proposed Dairy Market Stabilization Program. That program is intended to provide incentives to farmers to reduce milk production when margins are low, thereby raising milk prices and reducing the overall cost of the program.
The House version of the farm bill does not contain that provision.
The bottom line is we dont want an extension of the current program. We want a new farm bill, Galen said.

Sharp lines of LED light shining through the dark pyramid lens appear to be a secret code. They are in fact regular numbers that present the digital time in an easy to read way.
Inspired by cryptography, Kisai X features time, date, alarm and animation mode. Can you decode the time?
The time is read from top to bottom (hours) and left to right (minutes). The four digits of time are stylised in a visually dynamic way. See the animated graphic below to the right to see if you can crack the code.
A 12/24 hour time option is programmed into Kisai X so you can choose the format that suits you best.
One of the most attractive features of Kisai X is its subtle pyramid lens. Cut from mineral crystal, it has four facets, each of which presents a coded digit of time through colored digital tube LEDs.
Kisai X has a custom made stainless steel case and strap. Available in silver or black with a blue, green or red display, the polished finish has a modern, high quality look.
As well as time, Kisai X has date and alarm modes which can be accessed by pressing the lower button. The date is read in the same way as the time from top to bottom (month) and left to right (date).
When animation mode is activated, the display will animate once every 10 minutes between 6pm and midnight. This can be turned on or off in the settings. See the video above to see the cryptic effect.
Kisai X uses a rechargeable battery so you don't need to worry about battery replacement. Just connect to your computer for a few hours to charge and one full charge will last around a month.
Each part of Kisai X has been individually designed and manufactured, including the case, strap and uniquely programmed display. It was developed from a concept submitted to the Tokyoflash Design Studio Blog.
A limited edition design, Kisai X is guaranteed to be an original watch that not many other people own.
In February 2010, Tokyoflash Japan opened its Design Studio Blog to showcase concept designs and request ideas for new watch designs from fans. The idea for Kisai X was submitted jointly by Firdaus Rohman from Malaysia and Heather Sable from the USA. This is the eleventh concept submitted by a fan to become reality.
Find out more about the original concept on the Tokyoflash Design Studio Blog
Blog readers & watch designers Firdaus Rohman and Heather Sable say:
From Malaysia to the US, realized in Japan. This is a story of a watch design - from concept to reality. How cool is that?! The Tokyoflash Design Studio blog has transcended the barrier of continent, nation and races to realize a wonderful watch design for the world.
We, the co-designers, thank all of the supporters, from inside and outside, throughout the process - from the blog, to the design studio, to the factory, to marketing, to the delivery guy, and finally to the buyers of Kisai X. As you decode the time, you own a product full of inspiration.

Trouble Falling Asleep
By Health Day
Up to 70 million American adults are affected by a sleep disorder each year. For those with insomnia, new research highlights just how important it is to seek treatment.
A study, published in the European Heart Journal, followed more than 54-thousand people between the ages of 20 and 89 for an average of 11 years.
None of the participants suffered from heart failure at the beginning of the study. By the end, a total of 1-thousand-4 hundred-and-12 cases had been diagnosed.
Those who suffered from three major symptoms of insomnia --- trouble falling asleep, problems staying asleep and not waking up feeling refreshed... had a much greater risk of developing heart failure compared to those who never experienced the issues.
Older participants were more likely to have insomnia and symptoms were more frequent in women than in men.
The researchers say these findings suggest that insomnia evaluations may prove useful in the battle against cardiovascular disease.

UMass Wins Sixth Straight A-10 Championship
from Press Release
RICHMOND, Va. - A five-goal run bridging halftime proved the difference maker as the No. 13 and top-seeded UMass women's lacrosse team defeated Richmond 10-6 on Saturday afternoon to win its sixth-consecutive Atlantic 10 Championship title. The Minutewomen (18-1) receive the league's automatic berth for the NCAA Tournament marking the fourth straight year UMass has gone to the Big Dance.
Katie Ferris was named the Tournament's Most Outstanding Player after registering nine points on the weekend including two goals and four assists in the championship game. She is now the 15th ranked player for points (330) in the history of the NCAA.
Joining Ferris on the All-Tournament Team were Sam Rush, Kelsey Sheridan, Tanner Guarino, Melissa Carelli andRachel Vallarelli.
Overall, the championship win for UMass was its seventh overall (2000, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 & 2014). The Minutewomen have now won 40 consecutive games against Atlantic 10 opponents in regular-season and tournament play.
Sunday's championship win was all Richmond (11-7) in the opening minutes.
Richmond jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first 3:03 of play. The Spiders took advantage of winning the opening draw to set-up their first goal and forced a UMass turnover following the second draw of the game.
Vallarelli made a big save on a free position attempt after Richmond had possession for a third time early in the game. UMass successfully cleared the ball setting up Eipp's goal to put the Minutewomen on the board at the 24:32 mark.
The teams traded goals over the next seven minutes as Richmond continued to maintain a two-goal advantage.The Minutewomen strung together a three-goal run to close the first half with Guarino, Kelsey McGovern and Carelli each scoring over the last 13:30 to give UMass a 5-4 lead at halftime. The defense tightened up in the final half of the first stanza causing five Richmond turnovers while controlling three draws.
UMass kept the momentum rolling in the second half with goals from Rush and Ferris in the first 14 minutes of play. The Minutewomen used long possessions to run clock while its pressure defense in transition continued to frustrate the Spiders.
Emily Doyle pulled Richmond back within two, 7-5, with 12:40 left in regulation.
Rush and Carelli quickly tagged another pair of goals for UMass off feeds from Ferris extending the lead to 9-5 with 6:41 to go.
After another Richmond goal, Carelli iced the game with 2:02 remaining as fellow senior Courtney McGrath zipped a pass through the eight meter circle to set her up on the doorstep.
Carelli finished the game with three goals, while Rush had two goals and an assist. The three points for Rush made her the fifth all-time player at UMass to eclipse the 200-point barrier for a career. Rush also tied her single-season mark at UMass with 65 goals this season - a record she set previously in 2013.
Erika Eipp, Guarino and McGovern all finished the game with one goal. Vallarelli made three saves in cage for the win.
Richmond was led by Emily Doyle and Brooke Wilson who each had two goals. Charlette Stevenson and Anna Jeszeck each scored a goal as well, while Jeszeck added two assists. Emily Boyce made nine saves in the loss.

There is nothing worse than a case of FOMO at fashion week. The Fear Of Missing Out comes on strong when it seems like every party could be the party of the year.
Last night caused a serious case of FOMO, as the infamous Purple Magazine party continued their run of legendary fetes, this year at Chez André in the East Village, while across town newcomer Galore made a case of their own bringing its own brand of high energy partying at Up and Down.
Purple Magazine's party was both impossibly cool and impossible to get into, as the tiny 200 person club was quickly filled with trendsetters in Purple's circle. Meanwhile, Galore invited all their friends that know how to throw down and had a wild dance party on two levels of the club.
It was impossible to try to pick one, so the only way to beat FOMO, was to just go to both.

PORTALES — It's been a long time coming for the Eastern New Mexico University volleyball team.
Mired in a skid which had seen them lose 14 in a row and 19 of their last 20, the Zias got off to a fast start Friday night and went on to a 30-19, 30-23, 30-19 victory over College of the Southwest at Greyhound Arena.
ENMU (4-21) had to fight off the Mustangs in the second game, but led virtually all the way in the other two in registering its first win since a 3-2 victory over New Mexico Highlands at Greyhound Arena on Sept. 5.
Senior outside hitter Randi Egley notched a season-high 16 kills and six total blocks for the Zias, while sophomore defensive specialist Caitlin Murphy added 12 kills and 13 digs, freshman outside hitter Veronica Valdez had 11 kills and 10 digs and freshman outside hitter Brittany Brame collected 10 kills.
The Zias scored the first four points in game 1 and never relinquished the lead, opening a 10-point margin with a 9-2 surge.
CSW opened a 16-12 lead in the second game before the Zias roared back, taking the lead for good at 22-21 on Egley's kill which kicked off a 6-0 blitz. Valdez then had a kill to break the only tie of the third game at 1-1 and the Zias coasted home.
Thabata Galvao, a freshman middle hitter from Brazil, had seven kills and two aces for the Mustangs (7-16).
The sweep was ENMU's first since a 3-0 win over Oklahoma Panhandle State on Aug. 29, 2006.
ENMU completes a three-match, three-day homestand today when it returns to Lone Star Conference action in a 2 p.m. contest against Central Oklahoma.

September 18, 2013 —
Following director Josh Santoro's September 10 report, Highland Supervisor Andrew Boyar called the Highland-Lumberland summer basketball camp a success, saying, "I'm sure we will continue it."
Santoro told the town board audience that the month-long camp had been "huge," drawing a total of 60 participants between grades seven and 12. He said he was surprised at the number of older kids attending, "forty of those from the high school including the entire Eldred varsity team."
Boyar credited Councilman James Gutekunst for insisting that the town provide some kind of activity for the older kids. "Then Josh called," he added.
Santoro agreed, referring tangentially to several recent incidents in which youth substance abuse was said to have played a role. "It was something to do at night, (which was important) especially the way the summer has gone, with so many local issues," he said.
In August, Lumberland resident Darnelle Prunka told the Lumberland Town Board "We have a severe drug problem… not just in Lumberland, but in Eldred and Yulan… drugs have no boundaries…" she said.
Lumberland Supervisor Nadia Rajsz agreed. "When my kids were at Eldred the school didn't want to hear about it," she said.
Santoro said the basketball camp was "good medicine. After the camp they were too tired to do anything else."
Santoro said the camp had six coaches working with participants and that five Eldred graduates returned to help out. Participants "got jerseys and basketball cards. It was awesome."
As a further incentive for budget makers, Santoro said the camp was completed at $1,000 under budget. Highland and Lumberland each provided $1,500 for the program.
In other business at the board's 40-minute meeting prior to scheduled 9/11 ceremonies, the board approved the six-year reappointment of sole assessor Renee Osomek.
Agreeing they will still consider alternate proposals from the property owner through November 28, they approved a resolution to seek bids for the demolition and removal of debris from an unsafe Washington Lake property. Boyar called the resolution "a belt and suspenders, and if it's not needed, OK."
The board referred a letter from the Upper Delaware Council to the planning board and town attorney for their determination and response. The letter expressed concerns about unauthorized river-edge construction and campsites at the Barryville location of Reber River Trips.
The board approved Councilman Fred Bosch's proposal to line the parking areas at the Barryville Town Court and pay Superior Surfacing Systems $540 for the painting.
Boyar said the town's 2014 budget preparations would begin with a September 24 review of budget requests, to be held at the senior citizens center. He said his review of current year spending showed no overruns and the new budget should increase 2% or less.
Saying a review of the town's senior citizen-aged tax exemption maximum income level of $23,200 is necessary, Boyar said he would direct Osomek to bring the question to the county assessors' association.
VFW Commander Peter Carmeci reported that the 101st Airborne is being withdrawn from Afghanistan, thus ending the town's "Adopt-a-unit" effort. Carmeci said more than 70 packages had been sent.


text: I have a 4 month old son that I am breastfeeding, I did not breastfeed my older son and I really missed out on this wonderful bonding experience I am having now. My husband and I would like to adopt our next child but we are not planning on adoping for most likely 5 years. I am completely willing to continue pumping (and donating) even after my son is not breastfeeding just to keep some supply so it is easier for me to relactate when my adopted baby comes, would you suggest doing this or just taking the drugs/herbs when the time comes?

He was very attachet to it when he was sleeping though. Every time I activly tried to wean him off it, he was would activtly fight it and act like he wanted it more. So one day I said forget it. I would put him to bed, soother on the pillow, not in the mouth and didn't say a word about it. He evently just stopped picking it up. .
