File photo The fourth annual Dairy Fest, complete with a Sammy Kershaw country concert, starts 5 p.m. Saturday at the Curry County Special Events Center.
By Argen Duncan: Freedom New Mexico
This year's Dairy Fest is featuring a No. 1-hit country singer and, for the first time, a mechanical-bull, on top of cheeseburgers, dairy foods, educational booths and games.
And did anyone mention all that costs only $1 per person?
The fourth annual Dairy Fest, complete with a Sammy Kershaw country concert, starts 5 p.m. Saturday at the Curry County Special Events Center.
The $1 entrance fee pays for all Dairy Fest food and activities except tickets for a Food Bank of Eastern New Mexico raffle of a child-sized electric tractor and trailer filled with food.
"Since 1939, June has been designated National Dairy Month, and Dairy Fest is our way of saying thank you to the communities for their support," said organizer Michelle Heavyside, president of United Dairy Women.
About 100 local businesses sponsor the event, she said. Admission fees go to the Food Bank of Eastern New Mexico.
Organizer Robert Hagevoort, New Mexico State University Extension dairy specialist, said planners have enough cheeseburgers, yogurt, milk, ice cream sandwiches and soda floats for 5,000 people.
Last year, he said, 6,000 people came and 3,000 stayed despite a rainstorm.
"We're very glad to have the event center," Hagevoort said.
Not only do organizers have no worries about weather — the events center is enclosed — but they also don't have to set up and clean up the day of the event.
Heavyside said entrances are stroller and handicap accessible.
As for the interactive educational booths, Hagevoort said they would tell the story of dairy from "grass to glass."
Heavyside said the booths target children and adults, and have activities such as making butter and trying out equipment Clovis Community College uses to train students in milk processing.
For games, children can ride the "Moo Coo Coo" and learn to rope. Milk mustache photos, a dunk booth and a cow-patty toss are among other options.
And no, the cow patties aren't real.
"We won't make it nasty," Hagevoort said.
The food, games and booths come before the concert.
Local musicians the Fun Brothers Band, Andy Mason and Coby Carter, a junior high student, are set to open for Kershaw.
Louisiana native Kershaw's songs include "Meant to Be," "Queen of My Double Wide Trailer," "Don't Go Near the Water" and "She Don't Know She's Beautiful."
Between the opening act and Kershaw, the audience can watch a mechanical-bull riding contest with prizes of a grill, an ice chest, grilling accessories and steaks.
What: Dairy Fest
When: Food, booths and games 5-7 p.m., Sammy Kershaw concert 7:30-9:30 p.m. Saturday
Where: Curry County Event Center at the Curry County Fairgrounds
Price: $1 for food, Sammy Kershaw concert and other activities
Tickets: At the door; at The Re-Ink Spot at 2901 N. Prince St. in Clovis; or free with the purchase of a Happy Meal at McDonald's in Clovis and Portales.

One of my questions on my interview spree for daycares was "do you have experience with BF babies?" The lady that I think I like said no.
How do I get her used to it? I have tried to gently tell her that BF babies are fed on-demand and there really isn't a set schedule...as soon as you think there is one, she'll switcheroo on you! Do I need to print out a storage, etc. thing for her, etc.? She remarked on how small DD was and I told her that she is fine and sometimes BF babies are leaner...
I have read on here that most providers want the bottles pre-made. Should I see if she'll be flexible and let me bring a few frozen packs and just a minimum for the day so we'll cut down on waste? I'm a first time momma, help :shrug
Also, all of the providers asked me about solids. I told them that we do cereal a few times a week just for practice, but that is it...they ALL wanted to know WHY I wasn't feeding her solids yet and when did I intend to start. I just told them to let me worry about that and that she is on the right track developmentally, so we don't worry LOL...she is going to be 5 months in about a week, so I'm not quite sure the rush out there.
Any help will be appreciated.

Excursions and field trips provide some of the most exciting parts of Scouting. Cub Scouts enjoy many outdoor experiences as they participate in the variety of activities that can be held outside, such as field trips, hikes, nature and conservation experiences, and outdoor games.
Boys enjoy visiting museums, business establishments, parks, and other attractions. Here are some suggestions:
When these field trips are coordinated with the monthly theme or activity badge, they can help bring learning to life by allowing boys to experience firsthand the things they have been learning about.
In keeping with the Tiger Cub motto "Search, Discover, Share," Tiger Cubs and their adult partners should go on a Go See It outing each month. The Go See It may fulfill part of a Tiger Cub advancement requirement. By going on these outings, Tiger Cubs can learn about such things as their community or nearby communities, places where adults work, community services (fire, police, hospital, etc.), nature centers, animal care facilities, and other places of interest to young boys.
A well-planned Go See It will benefit everyone involved, providing an opportunity for boys and adults to acquire new interests and knowledge;develop a deeper understanding of and respect for other people; reinforce their attitudes of good citizenship, such as courtesy and kindness; and have fun.
A hike is a journey on foot, usually with a purpose, a route, and a destination. Tiger Cub and Cub Scout dens will enjoy short hikes, and Webelos dens will have several opportunities for taking hikes related to activity badge requirements.
Here are some suggestions for different types of hikes:
Outdoor games and sports provide opportunities for teaching boys skills of good sportsmanship, including following rules, taking turns and sharing, gettingalong with others, and fair play. They provide the opportunity for every Cub Scout to learn the basic skills of a sport, game, or competition while learning good sportsmanship and habits of personal fitness in an environment where participation and doing one's best are more important than winning.
For suggestions and instructions on games that could be played outside, see the Cub Scout Leader How-To Book and the Cub Scout Academics and Sports Program Guide.
When planning a trip or excursion for your den or pack, keep the following guidelines in mind:

She has recently been finding her hair/head, too...and when i put my hand up she'll play with my hand/fingers for a few minutes, and then back to swinging that arm. It's so funny to hear the names for them that you all have used, windmill arm, ax arm, etc. too funny!
Thanks everyone!

Halloween Sky Show
+ Play Audio | + Download Audio | + Join mailing list
Oct. 28, 2008: Stop! Take your finger off that doorbell. Something spooky is happening behind your back. Turn around, tip back your mask, and behold the sunset.
It's a Halloween sky show.
On Oct. 31st, the crescent Moon will sneak up on Venus for a close encounter of startling beauty. The gathering is best seen just after sunset when the twilight is pumpkin-orange and Halloween doorbells are chiming in earnest. Venus hovers just above the southwestern horizon, the brightest light in the sky, while the exquisitely slender Moon approaches just a few degrees below: sky map.
Above: Venus and the crescent Moon photographed in July 2007 by Dan Bush of Albany, Missouri. The scene will be much the same on Halloween 2008. [Larger image]
Okay, stop staring. There's candy to be gathered.
One night later, you can give the sequel your undivided attention. On Nov. 1st, Venus and the Moon emerge from the twilight side-by-side, Venus on the right, the Moon on the left: sky map. Look carefully at the Moon. Can you see a ghostly image of the full Moon inside the bright horns of the crescent? That's called "Earthshine" or sometimes "the da Vinci glow" because Leonardo da Vinci was the first person to explain it: Sunlight hits Earth and ricochets to the Moon, casting a sheen of light across the dark lunar terrain. A crescent Moon with Earthshine is one of the loveliest sights in the heavens.
Trace your finger upward along the line—that is where the Moon is going. Nightfall on Nov. 3rd reveals the Moon transported to Jupiter: sky map. The two form a pair so tight and eye-catching, it may take your breath away.
As hard as it may be to believe, these nights of dark beauty are just a hint of things to come. The real show begins one month after Halloween when Venus, the Moon, and Jupiter converge on a tiny patch of sky no bigger than the end of your thumb held at arm's length: sky map. Dec. 1st is the best night to look, even better than Halloween.
Now that's scary.

Don't blame the system for failure of Internet cafe petition
Despite a well-funded campaign, with much of the money coming from out of state, backers of a referendum to allow "Internet cafe" gambling in Ohio lost their battle last week. Instead of admitting defeat gracefully, some in the group blamed the system.
That is, they noted their campaign to put the issue on the November 2014 election ballot was the first under new requirements for statewide referendums. The requirements are too demanding, they said.
Internet cafe supporters are not the first to complain about the referendum rules. Reportedly, the Columbus-based 1851 Center for Constitutional Law is planning a court challenge to the rules.
For several weeks, opponents of the new law banning most Internet cafe gambling were confident they would gain enough petition signatures to seek voter rejection of the ban. But it turned out many of the signatures they submitted were invalid and, by Friday, they were not able to collect enough new ones to meet the requirement.
To get an issue on a statewide ballot, supporters must present petitions bearing the signatures of 231,148 registered Ohio voters. In addition, they must gain substantial amounts of signatures in at least 44 of the state's 88 counties.
The number of valid signatures required amounts to only about 3 percent of the total of registered voters in the state. That does not seem unreasonable.
We agree with opponents of Internet cafe gambling. Some of them interpreted the referendum campaign's failure simply as a mass rejection of Internet cafe gambling by Ohioans.
State legislators must walk a fine line between allowing too much access and not enough to the referendum process. In some states, election ballots are packed with issues on insignificant – sometimes ridiculous – matters. In others, it is too difficult for the people, through referendums, to overrule their government.
Rejection of the Internet cafe issue should not be taken as an indication Ohio's requirements for ballot access are too tough, however. Again, Internet cafe supporters may well have just lost the battle in the court of public opinion.

Members Absent: Dr. Lyn Guy
Guest: Dr. Robert Moore, Mr. Jim Nelson, Ms. Vivian Sidote
Mr. Norris Kantor brought the meeting to order and ask Rverend Moore to give belated blessing over the meal and convocation.
Mr. Kantor mentioned that there is a new member on the Higher Education Policy Commission replacing Dr. Ron Stollings. His name is Mr. Richard Kenneth Hall who is a member of the teamsters' union in Charleston.
A motion was made and second (GMoore/CBaldwin) to approve the minutes of May 9 and May 16 as distributed. Motion carried.
Greenbrier Community College Center
Mr. Kantor indicated there is a lease by and between the Greenbrier County Building Commission, the State of West Virginia by the Secretary Department of Administration on behalf of the Board of Directors of the State College System and Bluefield State College. The Lease was dated July 21, 1995 and is a 40-year lease. There is a provision in the lease, paragraph #17 which says upon expiration of the lease the obligation the lessor having been paid in full. The lessor without any further consideration is requested by the tenant to transfer the lease facility to the tenant. A more important provision provides in addition that the "Lessor hereby grants unto the Tenant the right to purchase the leased facilities prior to expiration of the forty (40) year lease period, together with all improvements thereon, at any time for a sum equal to the amount required to redeem the obligations upon said leased facilities on the date of such purchase and payment therefore." The payment to date to pay in full is $105,000. Mr. Kantor said there is a resolution that authorize us to pay off that amount and take over control of that building with the amount from BSC capital funds to be repaid upon receipt of lottery funds for 2003. A motion was made and seconded (RBrown/GMoore) to adopt resolution. Motion carried.
Bluefield State Community and Technical College - Core Faculty/Contracts
Dr. Moore gave out a study that he completed on the last six semesters as it relates to the faculty that have taught at BSC over those three years. BSC has two essential conditions that have been evaluated by the Policy Commission not being met: 1) Core Faculty in the community and technical college; 2) appointment of president at Beckley. It would cost $200,000 to fund and support a president position and once the funds are received for this position a president could be hired.
In December, the Policy Commission changed the procedural rule from Board of Directors/Board of Trustee from Series 36 to Series 9. In this rule it changed how the classification can be used on a faculty. Phase I of Dr. Moore report show the separation of faculty into Community & Technical College and Baccalaureate Programs. All faculty that are in Associate Degree or Certificate programs will be the Core faculty in the community and technical college. Phase II is to look at the other faculty. Dr. Moore said he recommended to the President's Staff that when the faculty come back in the fall they should start talking about what is a community college faculty member at Bluefield State College.
Working Plan for Higher Education Policy Issues
Identified in Legislative Study Resolution - Bluefield State College
This is a draft of the plan to study the role and mission of Bluefield State College and the relationship to the GCCC. This is Dr. Mullen's plan on how that study is to move forward. The target date to finish this report is October 1 and brought to the Governing Board to vote on and than present this to the legislative oversight committee at their November meeting.
Working Plan for Higher Education Policy Issues
Identified in Legislative Study Resolution - Beckley Area
This is a study of Bluefield State involvement with Beckley Center as Community & Technical College. This study was presented by Mr. Jim Skidmore. The one item Dr. Moore said the Board of Governors needs to fight is the item "Develop plans with Bluefield State College for an independently accredited community and technical college in Beckley."
Dr. Moore said there is another component in Beckley. He said in the legislature Beckley is to be affiliated with Bluefield State College. It is to move toward its own accreditation, its own president, its own budget, etc. There is also a Higher Education Center being developed in Beckley that will be supported by six public institutions and one private institution that the community and technical college will be associated. The Governing Board's task over the next five years is to build that program and show those people that it is beneficial to stay with Bluefield State College.
Reorganization of Administrative Structure Staff
Dr. Moore indicated this is something he will share with new president.
President Update
Administrative Bulletins and Procedures
A memorandum from Dr. Mullen listing some new bulletins and procedures that will be passed down to Board of Governors that you will need to look at over the next year.
Strategies for Higher Education Budget and Program Reviews
The Governor has mandated all state agencies to go through a program review looking at reduction in their base budget. Higher Education next year has to give back 115 million dollars. This is for informational purpose. Dr. Moore said 33% of the state budget will be held back until the fourth quarter
Thank You
Dr. Moore thanked everyone and said he appreciated working with them as the Board of Governors and last year as Board of Advisors. Ms. Ruth Payne Brown said she appreciated Dr. Moore in terms of what he has done for her as an individual and the help with Alumni Association and the work on the Board of Governors. She said it has been a great experience. She said she hoped that all will go well for Dr. Moore and his family. God Bless you and your wife. She also thanked him for the work on Alumni House.
Mr. Barnes said over the last two years he has grown to know and respect Dr. Moore and has really and truly enjoyed working with Dr. Moore and his staff. I have supported you in every endeavor and will continue to think of you fondly, hopefully you and your family will enjoy reduced duties and enjoy each other more. He thanked Dr. Moore for building the institution to the state it is and we as the Board of Governors will try to continue the efforts you have started to put forth. We hope to maintain your legacy as we move forward.
Mr. Kantor said on behalf of all of us we truly appreciate your efforts. They are outstanding with some of the programs as they go forward have real meaning and will ultimately bear a lot of fruit for everyone.
Dr. Moore mentioned we received notification from North Central that the visiting team report to the readers and they will make their recommendation within a month. This will go for a vote on August 5 by the Commission and if there are some issues they will be sent to us.
Mr. Kantor mentioned a faculty member has come to him requesting that he appear before the Board on a matter between the faculty member and administration. Mr. Kantor advised that the way the Board is set up we will not act on this until it goes through the complete grievance procedure.
The next meeting is scheduled Thursday, July 18, 2002.
Executive Session
A motion was made and second (Gmoore/RBrown) to move into an executive session at 8:00 p.m.
The Board of Governors resumed a regular session at 8:30 p.m.
A motion was made and second (RBrown/GMoore) to offer Dr. Tom Blevins the position of Interim President. Motion carried. Mr. Kantor said he would convey the information to Dr. Blevins and than would notify the Chancellor tonight.
A motion was made and second (GMoore/CBaldwin) to adjourn the meeting 8:40 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Norris Kantor

This is the shearling jacket reminiscent of the B-3 flight jacket worn by the iconic George S. Patton Jr. Supplied to USAAF bomber pilots during WWII for protection during high-altitude flights, the jacket became part of the former Lieutenant General's mystique during his Third Army's campaign through Europe, along with the "twin" Colt .45 revolvers worn at his side. This jacket pays homage to that image with a collar, cuffs, and waistline derived from tanned and dyed Colorado sheepskin that produces luxuriously warm fleece. Treated for water-resistance, this hip-length jacket has period details such as the twin antique brass-plated cinch-straps located at the waist. Enhanced for modern use, it has two exterior front, shearling-lined slash pockets that keep hands warm and two buckled straps on each cuff. The jacket is closed with a reliable brass zipper. Dry clean only by leather specialist. Dark Brown. Men's size XXL (46-48). (3 lbs.)

In my last column, I started to tell you about my experience riding along with Illinois Department of Natural Resources Conservation Police Officer Rich Riedel .
First, let's explore what it means to be a CPO.
The common misconception I hear is, "These guys aren't real cops. They're just fish and deer police. They're merely license checkers!" Believe me, that couldn't be further from the truth.
They are Illinois State Police officers. They've been trained at the State Police Academy, the same as troopers patrolling I-90. In addition to this training, they are further trained in the rules, regulations and laws concerning the IDNR. They can bust you for fish and game violations, and they can bust you for any other law that you break.
Instead of being thought of as "fish cops," I look at them as "super cops." They have all of the powers of a state trooper and have to be knowledgeable about a lot more.
In addition, the officers are appointed to serve the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service when required. They can be asked to assist in cases that involve federal crimes such as the killing of endangered species and the importation of banned animals, meaning they must know even more rules and regulations.
Riedel has been on the force for 22˝ years and has never said a bad word to me about the IDNR or the Conservation Police.
Through other sources, I have learned that the job has difficulties.
The current economy has drained the state's budget. The IDNR budget has been slashed repeatedly by our past two governors.
The budget cuts have made the Conservation Police's job more difficult. Orders for new patrol cars have been canceled, leaving the officers using high-mileage cars. They have not replaced their bullet-proof vests on schedule.
There also was no money in the budget for night-vision goggles, so Rich Gallagher and the Fox River Valley Chapter of Muskies Inc. bought two pairs and gave them to the officers. These guys need some help to do their jobs safely and properly.
What's the purpose of the Conservation Police? Is it just enforcing the laws? Let's let the Illinois Conservation Police Lodge explain. The organization was chartered with these objectives:
"Promotion of: The wise and ethical use of the natural resources of the State of Illinois; the scientific management of those resources while giving consideration to the needs and opinions of the citizens of the state in management; legislation which benefits the natural resources, hunters, fishermen and all outdoor recreation pursuits.
"Provide: Scholarships for college students pursuing careers in natural resource protection; a means of interaction between the CPO's and police officers in other fields and agencies. Improve public awareness and support for the natural resource protection field.
"To work for the protection and safety of the public while they are enjoying their outdoor pursuits. To promote professional, community based police work by CPOs. To educate the citizens of Illinois about the natural resources of the state and the value of the protection provided by the laws and by the CPOs."
That is quite a bit to try to accomplish.
I saw firsthand how Riedel worked at these goals. When the officers caught a poacher at our first stop, Riedel talked to the man while Officer Eric Schreiber wrote the citations.
Riedel asked the man if he had read the rule book. He asked him if he knew the reasons that our deer hunting laws existed. He wasn't just interested in making an arrest, he wanted to make sure that a lesson was learned and he did it in a pleasant, nonconfrontational manner.
When Riedel and I made the rounds at a couple of local lakes and rivers, it wasn't just about checking licenses. Riedel was friendly, asking how the fishing was and chatting a little with each angler.
I was surprised that a number of fishermen asked Riedel questions about the nuances of a couple of laws. He was able to explain the answers in an easy to understand manner. I am sure these people came away with a good feeling about what the Consevation Police were all about.
At the end of the shift, was a stop where Riedel discovered an SUV in a parking lot with forged temporary Tennessee tags, which is a felony. Riedel called for the assistance of a pair of Carpentersville officers.
After waiting a while, three men in their 20s walked out of the woods with three small children. The cops separated the men to question them.
One was asked if they had any weapons in their possession. He responded that he had an ax in his pocket and one of the other guys had a machete in his. I was astounded.
They took identification from two of the men and called it in. The men were clear.
The third man admitted that he was the owner of the SUV.
He had no identification. They asked for his info and called it in. That man had an outstanding warrant. So here he is with a warrant, no driver's license and forged tags on his car.
The officers then searched the three men.
The man with the warrant was then handcuffed. He started screaming when he was cuffed and kept screaming after being put in the squad car.
Riedel's day began with busting a poacher in the dark who was armed with a loaded weapon. Riding with a CPO was definitely a memorable experience for me.
To be truthful, I was glad it was over.
I definitely think about the Conservation Police in a different light after my day on patrol.

Definatly a BF pillow and maybe a nursing stool would be nice. A bottle of Motrin, for this will help her after delivery and will not go through the bM.
Definatly a BF pillow and maybe a nursing stool would be nice. A bottle of Motrin, for this will help her after delivery and will not go through the bM.
I was going to say movies too, because I spent a lot of those first 6 weeks just vegging on the couch watching movies while DS just sucked away.
These are great ideas for a baby shower gift by the way...I'll have to remember them when one of my friends gets pregnant. I sure could have used some of this stuff instead of yet another receiving blanket!!
First time Mommy to Alexander - Born Jan 15, 2006
Pillows ... I never bought a nursing pillow .... but my husband running to kohls and buying 6 new pillows was great. One for my back, between my legs, under my head, under the baby, across my lap........
Water bottle. How fun..... I get tired of refilling a large cup all the time. So I bought a pitcher and matching glasses... cutsie ones... I know the cute part is pointless..... it makees me drink more though
How about those tank tops (cheap at target)... tank top w/ a bra installed. I love mine at night ... Just take off a strap and thats it ...
Disposable pads - Great.... Those suckers never stay in place at night though ... my boobs will come together as I lay on my side to watch the baby ... I use her burp clothes now... Folded into a big square to cover all the leakage I got through at night
A friend of mine gave me a boobie care box...she also included some milk storage bags and some breastfeeding mother's tea. Also some soothies and the breast therapy pads (I think Gerber makes them). She also got me the pocket guide to the Nursing Mother's Companion; I already had the book but the pocket guide was great to take to the hospital.
Breast Shells combo pack one to catch milk one to sooth sore nipple. They are graet for when milk first comes in
Thanks for all the suggestions, ladies! I'm seeing her on Friday maybe for the last time before she delivers, so keep the ideas coming!
Sorry about the spelling ladies. I am non-functional right now.
The Nursing Mother's Companion has been my life saver! Even if she doesn't read, it has short sections that you can read to try and tackle whatever the problem of the day is.
I dnt know if u can organize this but i have a friend who is a nail tech. It is great to have everything u need for ur baby but lil things like washing ur hair and cutting ur nails sumtimes seem way too hard. How about a voucher for some1 to come over and gice her a pedicure or manicure whilst she is feeding ? a well deserved reward i say and it made me feel alot beter
My two favorite books are The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding and The Nursing Mother's Companion. An inexpensive and great book for those that don't like reading is Why Should I Nurse My Baby is very short and simple, I'm going to get that one for my SIL and a few LLL pamphlets. Also try to get her something not BF, so she doesn't think you're just trying to push BF on her, like one of those funny motherhood book.

Three Bills Sponsored by LAS-ELC Pass Out of Committee
LAS-ELC is the organizational sponsor of three bills this legislative session that would enhance protections for workers in California. LAS-ELC attorneys testified in Sacramento in support of the bills, all of which passed out of committee last week – an important step toward protecting vulnerable workers in California.
SB 400 (Jackson), cosponsored by the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence and the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault, prohibits employment discrimination against survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking, and requires employers to provide reasonable safety accommodations to survivors.
SB 761 (DeSaulnier) prohibits retaliation against workers who access California's Paid Family Leave program – a fund that workers pay for entirely out of their own paychecks.
SB 770 (Jackson) allows workers to use Paid Family Leave benefits to care for seriously ill grandparents, parents-in-law, siblings and grandchildren.
"Every day we hear from low wage workers with critical needs that current law does not address." said Julia Parish, LAS-ELC Project Attorney. "Some struggle to keep their jobs while caring for family members, while others are dealing with the employment-related effects of domestic violence or sexual assault. Worker protections must be strengthened in these areas. We hope we can help do that by bringing our clients' stories to Sacramento."

I am a camera…
Jumping on top of the Honky Tonk bar that spanned the stage, the P.T. Barnum of the rock world (my words, not his) engaged the audience with personal history (born Robert James Ritchie) and a genuine appreciation of his roots, his fellow musicians, his family and the audience that has supported him for "a few years now." No longer exactly a kid, this guy blew me away with his newest signature song "I'm (bleeping) Forty" that brought the audience to a new level of excitement. Wasn't easy getting pictures, but (IMHO) well worth the ride!
Returning to the scene two days later, a couple of ladies begged me to shoot "great pictures" of up-and-coming country heartthrobs Rob Blackledge and Noll Billings (aka Blackjack Billy), opening for the Doobie Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Promising to do my best, I scanned the stage for explosives and set up shop. Still nervous from the volatile flames prior to Blackjack Billy, I clicked away, enjoying their "deep rooted country sound" while acknowledging that the boys were indeed, extremely photogenic.
The pair exited, making way for the Doobie Brothers ("Takin' it to the Streets," "You Belong to Me," "What a Fool Believes"). Yet another sold-out crowd danced the night away to hit upon hit as I worked the camera to the best of my ability. Before headliners Lynyrd Skynyrd took over, the legendary group made clear why they were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame (in 1994) as the audience cheered the "American Rock" sound of encores like "Listen to the Music."
No strangers to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Lynyrd Skynyrd (inducted in 2006) formed in 1964 (I was 10) and they look it. (Come to think of it, so do I.) Loud, raucous and sounding pretty good, I decided to let my camera do the talking, since they were not only interesting to hear live (I had earplugs) but pretty cool to photograph, having been around the block once or twice. With the aid of theatrical lighting, smoke and strobes, I have somehow managed (I hope) to capture the essence of these musical experiences. As I fold up the tripod (these days, I call myself a photojournalist) I muse on whether the camera is forever an extension of me, or if in reality... I am a camera?

This is a review that is near and dear to my heart. I love KIND bars! Not only are they gluten-free, but they are so, so healthy! I can have a KIND bar and feel like I've cheated and had a really great candy bar. Really important to me is that they hold up when I put them in my purse. I always carry one just in case I am hungry when I'm out and there's no gluten-free foods available.
KIND bars are made of natural ingredients like almonds, peanuts, raisins, dates, cranberries, honey, flax and coconut, just to name a few. My very favorite KIND bar is Almond & Coconut, followed closely by Dark Chocolate Cherry Cashew.
The nice people at KIND were KIND enough to send me a nice sample of bars to try. Included in my sample were:
- Mango Macadamia
- Peanut Butter &Strawberry
- Almond & Coconut

OverviewThe CustomSim™ FastSPICE simulator delivers superior verification performance and capacity for all classes of design, including, custom digital, memory and analog/mixed-signal circuits. The comprehensive offering includes advanced analysis options for native circuit checking, power, signal and MOS reliability analysis and mixed-signal simulation. CustomSim, in combination with its simulation environment, provides a complete mixed-signal verification solution that boosts productivity.
CustomSim Datasheet
Designer productivity is negatively impacted by the overwhelming number of simulations that need to be run. Not only is the number of simulations increasing, but the size of circuits, combined with extracted post-layout parasitic, is far exceeding the capacity of traditional simulation solutions. Synopsys' CustomSim FastSPICE simulator is built on best-in-class technologies that deliver increased productivity and designer confidence to address today's AMS verification challenges.
Table 1: CustomSim simulated large designs in hours instead of days
Next-generation circuit simulation technologyCustomSim's breakthrough patented technologies deliver superior performance and capacity while maintaining SPICE accuracy. Builtin simulation intelligence enables CustomSim to automatically recognize devices, topologies and hierarchies and employ the most efficient techniques to accurately simulate any design type. True multi-rate engine technology with intelligent partitioning allows CustomSim to quickly react to changes in circuit behavior, thereby delivering the highest performance simulation time with SPICE accuracy. Revolutionary techniques for array and RC optimization ensure that accuracy is retained while delivering the highest-capacity circuit simulation solution. A compiled Verilog-A solver ensures high-speed execution of complex analog behavioral models.
Golden HSPICE device modelsCustomSim is built on top of a common HSPICE device model library, guaranteeing device model correlation between CustomSim and HSPICE. The common HSPICE device model library simplifies foundry support by using a single golden library for advanced device model updates. CustomSim supports advanced nanometer foundry models developed with the HSPICE customizable C-model interface.
Native circuit checkingDesigner productivity is negatively impacted by manually having to verify that electrical design rules are not violated. CustomSim provides a comprehensive set of static and dynamic native circuit checks to rapidly identify electrical rule violations and power management failures. With this technology, designers can easily identify violations such as missing level-shifters, incorrect VDD hook-up, floating gates, excess leakage paths and excursions from the device safe operating area, to name a few. CustomSim supports a rich set of diagnostic commands that enable extensive power and timing analysis.
Figure 1: CustomSim native circuit checks enable ERC & low power verification
Static power and signal net resistance checkUtilizing CustomSim's high-capacity engine, designers can run a full-chip static analysis of all power and signal nets to identify any high-resistance paths for power and signal nets and uncover any errors in power bus network design and signal net routing.
Power net reliability analysisCustomSim employs a unique coupled flow for EM/IR-drop analysis. Taking advantage of the superior capacity, it is possible to run detailed current simulations of blocks, including postlayout parasitic data in the power network and core circuitry. This then delivers high-accuracy EM/IR-drop analysis and avoids wasted area and power through overdesign. The solution fully supports nanometer lengthdependent rules. Custom Designer LE provides an extensive reliability analysis visualization environment allowing designers to debug reliability issues within the layout environment.
Signal net reliability analysisShrinking geometries have dictated the need for EM/IR-drop analysis of signal nets. CustomSim utilizes dynamic current density analysis for this purpose. Bidirectional current flow is correctly considered, including calculation of the RMS currents required for monitoring Joule heating within the design. Galaxy Custom Designer® LE provides an extensive reliability analysis visualization environment that allows designers to debug reliability issues within the layout environment.
MOS reliability analysisFragile nanometer transistors are stressed by high field strengths in the device channel due to high temperature and high-frequency switching activity over extended periods of time. These stress effects lead to device 'aging', resulting in performance degradation and designs that fail to meet specification during their expected operating life.
CustomSim allows users to add aging effects to industry-standard BSIM3 and BSIM4 models. In addition to the built-in HCI reliability model equation, CustomSim provides a user reliability interface (URI) that permits users to define custom equations for modeling HCI and other stress effects, such as negative-bias temperature instability (NBTI) in PMOS devices. CustomSim enables users to measure performance degradation over time by comparing the results of pre-stress and post-stress simulation results.
Figure 2: Throughput improvements using CustomSim mixed-signal simulation
Mixed-signal simulationCustomSim is tightly integrated to Synopsys' VCS digital simulator through a direct-kernel integration. This mixedsignal solution delivers the highest throughput by breaking through the analog performance bottleneck with the highest-performance, SPICE-accurate circuit simulation technology. A flexible usage model allows for any mixture of abstraction level and design hierarchy with full language support for Verilog, VHDL, Verilog-AMS and SPICE. Postlayout data is supported through DSPF, SPF and SDF formats.
CustomSim with VCS is integrated with Synopsys' CustomExplorer Ultra advanced regression and analysis environment to streamline mixed-signal verification and boost productivity. CustomSim supports third-party digital simulators through an industry standard VPI integration.

text: PITTSBURGH, PA (July 6, 2011) – Scheduled passenger traffic at Pittsburgh International Airport (www.FlyPittsburgh.com) increased for the 14th consecutive month as traffic grew 4.7 percent in May 2011. Year-to-date, scheduled passenger totals show traffic up 5.6 percent, compared to January through May 2010. Eight airlines reported an increase in passengers in May 2011 compared to May 2010 according to the May 2011 Scheduled Airline Traffic Report, prepared by the Allegheny County Airport Authority. A total of 742,330 scheduled passengers were enplaned and deplaned at the airport in May 2011, a 4.7 percent increase compared to May 2010 (742,330 in May 2011/709,212 in May 2010; 4.7percent). Totals through May show that there have been 52,605 commercial operations this year, compared to 48,257 through May 2011. Additionally, commercial operations were up 9.6 percent in May 2011 (11,237/10,257; 9.6 percent). American showed one of the largest percentage-based growths for the month reporting a 23.7 percent increase in passengers (52,737/42,643; 23.7 percent). Delta (135,345/123,106; 9.9 percent) and Southwest (139,539/129,792; 7.5 percent) also both showed an increase of nearly 10,000 passengers. Factors that influenced the growth include American Airlines adding flights and increasing the size of the aircraft to Dallas/Ft. Worth. Demand for travel to Dallas and connections to destinations in Oklahoma and Texas are due primarily to business travel related to the energy industry. Delta added a new route to Boston with three flights a day beginning in April 2011. Since May 2010, Delta has added 33 flights per week at Pittsburgh International Airport. Southwest Airlines increased its Pittsburgh to Philadelphia flights from four to six per day. Other airlines to show an increase in traffic are US Airways (181,620/180,540; 0.6 percent), AirTran (71,842/71,268; 0.8 percent), Air Canada (5,165/3,534; 46.2 percent), USA 3000 (3,113/969; 221.3 percent) and Myrtle Beach Direct Air (2,954/2,842; 3.9 percent). Airlines that reported decreases were: United (71,475/71,856; -0.5 percent), Continental (46,606/46,910; -0.6 percent), JetBlue (21,299/21,930; -2.9 percent), Skywest (6,195/6,963; -11.0 percent) and Frontier (4,440/6,859; -35.3 percent).

Our politically correct Orwellian national security
First they eliminated the fight against global terrorism and reduced it to collection of "overseas contingency operations". Terror events are now called "man-made disasters". We're no longer confronted with "Islamic extremism". How do I know this? Because it has been dropped from use as acceptably describing our enemy in the National Security Strategy . So has "jihad" and "Islamic extremism". We now, apparently, confront "violent extremism". I would appear that it can just pop up anywhere without any real basis for its being.
Mona Charen reports that the decision has been made to no longer describe rogue nation North Korea as a rogue nation. I have to tell you, if NoKo is a "rogue" nation, there are no rogue nations. NoKo has been a rogue nation since it became a nation. It is a tyrannical kleptocracy – a pirate state – but not "rogue". Apparently that's a bit to harsh. And we certainly don't want to refer to Iran as that.
God forbid we actually call our enemies of the world that which they really are. That might put them on notice that we're on to their game and aren't happy about it.
And there's really no level to which this foolishness isn't being extended. Heck even the GITMO inmates apparently need a name change:
The detainees in Guantanamo, too, have had a name change. They will no longer be called "enemy combatants." The new name hasn't been chosen yet, though cynics might just use "former clients of Obama Justice Department lawyers."
Yes political correctness gone mad, but look where it is being applied. At the executive level of the government of the United States. Euphemisms that ignore the specific problem or nation in favor of non-discriminatory (everyone can be a latent "violent extremist" so we don't have to specifically single out those who are) word salad.
Bottom line: We are fighting Islamic fundamentalist extremists who have had a jihad against us for decades. They are stateless terrorists. They get some of their support from rogue nations.
Why in the world is it so hard to say it like that? Or better yet, what's the utility in ignoring it? Why are the specifics of the truth deemed too offensive or antagonistic to state? And what purpose is served by ignoring those specifics in favor of broad categorical words that do very little to define the problem we actually confront?
And, finally, if those words are out of bounds, how does one put a specific strategy together to confront the real security problem facing us vs. some nebulous and useless piece of bureaucratic crap with this "approved" language which ends up doing a one-over-the-world hand-wave and calling itself our "strategy"?

Summer Sleep Problems
By Health Day
Most of us love the long, hot days of summer. But when you have trouble sleeping, all that daylight doesn't help!
Believe it or not, more than 40 million Americans suffer from chronic sleep disorders. So the sleep experts at Loyola University Health System have some suggestions on how to get a good nights sleep all summer long.
Begin by having a routine. If you aim to go to bed at the same time every night, your body gets into a rhythm.
Start relaxing at least an hour before bedtime. That means turning off your phone and all electronics, including the TV and video games.
If you need something to help you wind down, magazines make a good read. The articles are short, sweet and to the point With a book you may get engrossed in the story line and fight to stay awake longer.
When you're finished reading, darken the room. Close the curtains. A sound machine or fan also helps create "white noise" that can lull you to sleep and help keep you there.
And finally, a big don't....don't eat or drink two hours or less before bed....that includes alcohol. You're setting yourself up for a trip to the bathroom if you do!
I'm Dr. Cindy Haines of HealthDay TV with the information you need to protect your health.

Cruz remaining with Giants
Disregarded as a high-school player, spurned by his college team twice and unwanted in the NFL draft just three years ago, Victor Cruz, the charismatic, salsa-dancing New York Giants wide receiver, continued his improbable career ascent Monday when he signed a five-year, $43 million contract extension that will tie him to the team until at least the 2018 season.
The news of the contract, after months of civil but unproductive negotiations, quelled the anxiety of Giants fans, a group that has made the homegrown Cruz perhaps the teams most popular player. It was also a relief to the teams centerpiece performer, quarterback Eli Manning, who relies on Cruzs dependability on third downs and in the biggest games. And with Giants training camp about two weeks away, it will soothe New York area athletic apparel merchants whose revenue has swelled with the sales of many thousands of $100 Cruz jerseys.
It was important for me to stay a Giant, Cruz said in a conference call. They were the ones who had faith in me from the beginning. Now I can focus on my craft and winning a couple more championships. My whole life has been a blessing. Ive come a long way.
The 26-year-old Cruz, who as recently as 2007 was working as a clerk at a mall in his native New Jersey, will receive $15.6 million in guaranteed money from his new contract, according to people with knowledge of the deal who spoke on the condition of anonymity because terms of the contract were not announced. Cruz is set to be paid $2.879 million this season, with the $43 million extension beginning next season.
Cruz, who was a restricted free agent, called the agreement tremendous, even though it did not earn him an annual average salary in the range of the best-paid receivers in the league. His extension, with an average of $8.6 million, is top dollar for a No. 2 receiver.
It wasnt about being the highest paid, said Cruz, who becomes the highest paid receiver in Giants
history. It was about comfort and security. It was about taking care of my family. It was important for me to stay in the area so I can be a role model for my community and all the people who look up to me. Theres a lot I can do in that way.
All those things played into my decision.
After the 2012 season ended, Cruzs initial contract request was about $10 million a year. The Giants counteroffer was closer to $6.5 million. The two sides bargained throughout the winter and in recent weeks were described as close to an agreement. Asked why he had signed on Monday, Cruz answered, I was done with the back and forth.
Cruz said he would now turn his attention to persuading the Giants chief down-the-field receiving threat, the former first-round draft pick Hakeem Nicks, to consider a long-term contract with the Giants. Nicks will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season unless he agrees to an extension.
I want to see if I can get him to play with me for the long haul, Cruz said.
As a free agent out of the University of Massachusetts, Cruz was signed after an open tryout at Giants Stadium in 2010, but he missed the season because of a hamstring injury. In the two years since, Cruz has been durable and proficient, catching 168 passes for 2,628 yards without missing a game. His 19 touchdowns have become signature moments at Giants games, accompanied as they usually are by a salsa routine in the end zone.MORE IN Sports WireOXON HILL, Md.

Wiper Blade and Headlight Services
It is easy to forget to maintain your vehicle's lights and windshield wipers. As weather changes, the quality of these easily looked-over car parts becomes more and more important.

text: The French Connection - High Strangeness dream greywolfe posted:12/19/2013 2:29:33 PM One night whilst asleep in bed with my wife I was awoken by her as she suddenly burst into conversation. I became immediately aware of a French accent in her voice but then realized that her words were (or appeared to be) actual French words. I knew she didn't speak a word of French and also that she was not prone to pranks in any way. As my French was equally non existent I memorized the sounds with a view to unraveling the mystery later. The sounds most clear in my head were- "Se la gehr". This was followed by a complicated and lengthy sentence that I did not pick up. I recall only that this second sentence included the sound "Perverse". Later that day at work I offered my rendition of "Se la Gehr" as it sounded, to a fluent French speaking colleague who immediately translated the phrase into - "It is war". Reflecting back on the sounds and intent in my wife's dream I conclude that she was talking about a war that was most perverse. The most striking thing of all was to hear my wife bursting into Fluent French whilst asleep. The second shock came when the sounds she made were instantly recognizable to a French speaking person. Was my wife re-living a past event. Was she passing a future event back in time to the present day. Or was the interlaced collective consciousness MATRIX exposed for what it is for that moment ?

What words describe your job?
I post this with encoragement from The Lovely Lady From Kentucky
My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned ...couldn't concentrate.
Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the ax.
After that I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn't suited for it.
Next I tried working in a muffler factory but that was exhausting.
Next was a job in a shoe factory; I tried but I it didn't last, I just didn't fit in.
I became a professional fisherman, but discovered that I couldn't live on my net income.
I managed to get a good job working for a pool maintenance company, but the work was just too draining.
So then I got a job in a gymnasium (work-out-center), but they said I wasn't fit for the job.
I stayed at my last job as a historian until I realized there was no future in it.
So I retired, and found I'm a perfect fit for the job!

I'm afraid I need a translation here.... Is a 'muffler' what we (Brits) would call a 'silencer'?
I thought the other ones were great - it was just that line I couldn't quite make sense of!
I guess I would have to go for: I used to work in publishing, but kept having trouble with the fine print.

Language can be frustrating, can't it?
The "muffler" is the big fat thingie with the long pipe that exhausts gas from the engine ... most mechanics -- more properly I think -- call it an "exhaust system" since its made up of the two parts and hence the punability.

Aha! Here is another one of those rare instances where NZ usage follows the US pattern rather than that of the UK. We call them mufflers here too. Silencers are something we only see or read about in murder mysteries.

When I was young, I wanted to be a parachutist , but I fell flat at it.
Then I dreamed of olympic skiing but my chances of success went down hill.
My first real job was an elevator operator.. But it was all up and down, and I wanted a steady career.
Someone suggested I try the civil service. First I tried out as a subway conductor, but the job was too deep for me.
So I switched to the Internal Revenue, but the work was much too taxing.
I was close to be vested in the pension system, so I switched to working at the CDC, but I was ill equipped for the work.
But now I am all fired up with my new job at AFT, I really am smoking!

"silencer" Since the device cannot produce silence, it seems to be one of the few instances where the Brit term is less precise than the US term.
And how can I be re-tired, since I have no wheels?

I thought I could be a success as an artist, but it just left my bank account overdrawn.
I wanted to be a web designer, but I just got stuck when I tried to learn code.

Like Fibrebabe, I love crafts, but none have worked out for me.
I tried to do macrame, but my stomach knotted with the effort.
Knitting was fun, but my efforts where funny, they left every one in stitches.
Cross stitch left me irritable.
Crewel work was unusual punishment.
Needlepoint was, all to often too pettie.
I wasn't fitted for dress or costume making.
The idea of patchwork quiting cut me up, but i could get no peace when i tried to do it.
I batted down to work, but it just wasn't to bee.
But for a while I was hooked on Crochet.

text: Hi, I'm Marcie, mom to Madeline a 9 month old baby girl that was born at 34 weeks 5 lbs 8.2 oz (pretty good size for 6 weeks early & is now 18 lbs). She had stage 4 reflux and underwent a fundoplacation & g-button surgery on May 24th and it has all but gotten better. She has refused to take any solids/cereals, etc...since we starting trying at 6 months (all but given up now). She breastfeeds like a champ and will not even take a bottle or sippy cup. How long can a baby go without foods or anything else other than breastmilk and should I be concered about this?

Joel vs. Sarah
Given how important the Evangelical vote is to America's Republican party, one would think that Sarah Palin's appointment as John McCain's running mate would be no big deal. Nonetheless, it is, causing many to shudder at the thought of a Palin Vice Presidency. In Friday's edition of Religion Dispatches, I examine the possibilities by analyzing the Alaskan governor's view of the war in Iraq.
Indeed, it feels like it has been a week for tarrying with the negative. Yesterday's publication follows a short commentary I did on the current spate of Downfall mashups for France 24 last Friday. Asked whether I thought such endeavors were in good taste, I explain that I've got nothing but good things to say about Final Cut geeks taking aim at the present by imposing new subtitles over the Führer .
