I found MLazyC ranch by accident while looking at Colorado as a holiday destination while touring the USA, we made a 10,000 mile round trip from Yorkshire England to get there and boy was it worth the effort. The most relaxing place I have ever been i was not disappointed just sitting on the porch enjoying the scenery was a pleasure in its self. The staff could not be more helpful. It is a great place to base yourself for touring the area where you can come and go as you please… the horses we rode were well behaved and full of character, Brenda was charming and we are planning a return I cannot wait to get back. Thanks Mike
My husband and I took our horses to Colorado for the first time and stayed here. On the first day I got hurt on my horse due to my own fault. Randy and his staff were there immediately and were quick to get me the help I needed. Without Randy and his staff I know I would have been in REALLY bad shape but thanks to them I am ok. Besides practically saving my life. We had reservations for a week and this happened on the first day… I was in the hospital for the rest of the week and we were 700 miles from home. Randy and his staff took care of our horses every day and didnt charge us a penny! So kind, generous and caring of a staff who had just met us the day before. Thank you so much for everything. We will be back but the big gray horse wont! LOL. Thanks again and God BLess you all. Sincerely; The Hackers from Oklahoma.
We had a great time!! Great memories that we will never forget. Best value in Colorado!!
We worked for Randy and Brenda : They were great people to work with. Looking to go back and staying for a time there. Good luck with the ranch. P S great place to stay for a few weeks . Tommy Cat
We had a great time at the M Lazy C Ranch. We stayed for 2 months and found that Randy & Brenda were great hosts! The wranglers were all friendly, helpful, & very knowledgeable. Randy & Brenda try their best to please all their guests. They want everyone to enjoy themselves. The ranch is beautiful with great views and lots of good riding in the national forest. We will certainly go back!
This was the best vacation I have ever had. My cabin was beautifully decorated and took me back in time. If you are looking for a laid back totally relaxed vacation this is the place! The staff made me feel like I was their only guest, frequently making sure that I had everything I needed to make my stay memorable. The food was great and there was plenty of it. I watched them cater to a guest who had a special diet but hadn't let them know until the meal was served, they did their best to provide for him at that meal and made sure that future meals fit his needs. My favorite part was the mountain horseback rides! The wranglers were the BEST and did a great job of matching horses to the riders experience. I loved that the staff ate with the guest, I felt more like a family member than a guest. I will be back, I know because I didn't want to leave!
The missus & I just returned from a visit @ M Lazy C.
"Nicest chicken coop I ever stayed in" The omission of TV & Radio, etc. is a huge plus!, never missed it for a minute! Wuz slightly disappointed though to find I had such good cellphone coverage; finally just turned it off and stashed in the suitcase!!!
Thanks Randy & Brenda for the good times and for treating us like "family". The horseback riding was great, and the mules; Banjo & Jim, were fun (and comfortable) to ride.
We especially enjoyed our meals with you'ns and the wranglers; what a great bunch of young folks ( Nicole, Carolyn, Maureen, Michael & Christopher we miss you already) with many years experience I've become a teller of tales and spinner of yarns; BUT, I think Michael is a natural at it!
We look forward to coming back.
Thanks for everything. See y'all down the trail
The Steinbauer family wants to thank you, on behalf of the Special Forces Association Chapter 4-24, for a wonderful event site. If you are looking for a Colorado outing, M Lazy C is awesome! We have our Chapter picnic there every summer and highly recommend it to any other group or organization, as long as you don't try to take our date in July! Cabins or camping, horseback riding, a shooting range, what more can you ask for? Thanks to Randy and Brenda for providing this escape from the ordinary.
Just wanted to say Thank you for the nice comment for the web page. Look forward to seeing you soon.
Mlazyc is our home away from home. The last 3 years we have spent over a month at Mlazyc each year. Judy and I love meeting new people and this is the place to do it. Randy and Brenda are the best Hosts willing to do anything to have fun and to make our stay enjoyable. Michael, Dept Manager is super making sure horses are happy in their corrals and camp sites are in great working order. Randy and Brenda cater to Special Needs Groups and this year we able to assist in helping them with a group for the day. We were rewarded by smiles and hugs from the Group. What a Great Place to Vacation.
My wife and I have stayed at several of your cabins and the campgrounds over the last three years. We are part of the Debbie Bibb Clinic and enjoy the accomodations and the meals. It is a beautiful place to ride a horse and enjoy Colorado. The only drawback we have experienced is when the shooting events are taking place, especially with the Army troops. Don't get me wrong because I am a veteran but I've seen some horses react very badly to the loud and unexpected gunfire. Don't have any solution but it is worth noting for safety sake. Thanks.
We first drove by M Lazy C ranch while on our way snowskiing last winter and just happened to write down the name for a future return in our motorhome . We are glad we did because we enjoyed the simplicity of staying there in August. They offer great accommodations to fit the many needs when having a family reunion.
We had a wonderful visit this summer as well as last summer. We already have reservations for next summer. The ranch is beautiful as are the horses. The hospitality is great, and assistance is always available when needed. Thank you for opening your ranch to us.

We have brought a group of students to the M Lazy C many times over the years, and everytime the crew there outdoes our expectations. Our kids loved riding horses, playing Cowboy U games, dancing, fireside singing, and just being in the beautiful outdoors. They even loved the food, and you know how young teens can be picky! Anyone–young and old, small or large family, group or just a couple–will love this place and will enjoy the people and the fun. You need to check it out. Thanks to Brenda and the entire crew for years of fun!
Hey there Brenda,
I wanted to thank you and Randy for the red carpet treatment this past weekend. Our group absolutely loved the whole weekend. You guys are first class, the food was to die for, the cabins are adorable, the horses were all very happy and the setting at the ranch was just great. We all had such a wonderful time at the M Lazy C and hope to do it again. Thank you all so very much.
The greatest place on earth. Randy and Brenda are the owners and are wonderful people. The ranch manager Michael is very helpful and polite. They have training for military before they are deployed . It is very interesting to watch and hear the gun fire and bombs going off. It makes you proud to be an American. The weather is wonderful, cool in the morning and warm in the afternoon but cools off as sun goes behind the mountains. You can ride out from the Ranch into the national forest and be gone a couple of hours or all day. There are many trails for all types of riders. The food is always good. This is our third year and can't wait until next year to come back to get out of the Texas heat in August. This has really made our horses bomb proof. We love it here and would highly recommend it for anyone who loves to trail ride and sightsee.
This is our third year at the ranch. We love every minute. This year we were able to help around the ranch which was so much fun. Randy, Brenda and Michael are wonderful. We feel like family here. We also appreciate all the family does for the military training they do on the ranch. We have already booked next year!
Judy and Bill Bergstrom
This is our 3rd year at the Mlazyc. Randy and Brenda are truly the best host ,always checking to see if there is anything that we need ,Great meals and hospitality. Michael Anthony (Ranch Manager) makes sure we have great time on our trail rides by advising us where to ride and making sure our horses are taken care of. The Mlazyc Ranch is truly the Best get a way vacation spot. We will return next year for a month.
This place to stay is a little piece of heaven! We loved the beautiful cabin we stayed in, the staff were all very friendly and fun to chat with and eating together in the dining hall was awesome as we got to meet other guests. It is such a family oriented atmosphere and we plan to be back soon!
M Lazy C is the place for me. Stayed in the Homestead Cabin with my horse lodged right next to me. There are many wonderful things about this place – many reasons to go and spend some time, but the best part is the people that own it and work there. Warm and friendly. Fun and informative. Truly "salt of the earth" – go there to feed your soul.
We think ur dude ranch is just exquisite. We really enjoyed fisting the cattle as a family. They're moo's indicated they enjoyed the fisting too!
I just have to say the ranch is a great place to kick back relax and have a great time.also would like to say the hunting is great thanks Randy and Brenda
Dear Randy, Brenda and crew,
We spent memorial day weekend at the ranch for a quick get-a-way from the demands of our lives. It was our goal to unplug and reconnect as a family- which is exactly what we did! We had such a relaxing time enjoying the scenery, playing games, enjoying our cabin and each others company; we talk about it with all our family and friends. Thank you for the option to "stay in touch" because we will need to plan to return soon & often!
Potential guests:
A short and scenic drive from west Colorado Springs.
Excellent value:
Rustic cabins, superior staff, authentic activities ( highly recommend the shooting range with Randy)
Fantastic home cooked meals! ( especially the cowboy pancakes)
We had a great time at your ranch. I think it may have been the most relaxing vacation of my life. Thank you for making us feel at home–We appreciate it!
Thank you so much for all of your work this summer. We really do appreciate all the time and energy you took to make us feel special. Thanks for all of the good memories.
I want to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay this summer. The area is lovely and we were treated like royalty. Everyone went out of thier way to make our stay happy.
Thank You
You have a terrific ranch and your family was terrific. Jamie and Michael attended to our every inner cowboy desire and challenged us. Everyone loved it.
The time we spent on the range with Randy senior and junior was terrific. Randy's idea to surprise us with the last shooting activity gave everyone something to remember the rest of their lives.
The barbeque luncheon was really delicious and everyone enjoyed the ambiance of the location.
When we arrived it seemed like heaven, no T.V., no computers, no cell phones, no hectic rush of city life. Just peaceful, quiet beauty.
In my opinion this little cabin holds more beauty than any castle or mansion in the world. Thank you to this place for simply existing and reminding us how beautiful this world can be.
The ranch allowed us to dream of pioneer days, discover the incredible beauty God has bestoed on this area of our great nation, and spend quality time with each other- a rare and precious gift. Thank you for your sweet hospitality, exceptional meals, attention to detail, willingness to share your home and lives- We were blessed!
We are so excited to have this place be our litte "get away." I will remember and cherish this place forever. Thank you for the champagne, flowers and chocolates. It was a wonderfully special touch.
This must be one of the most wonderful places that we have encountered. The scenery, the people, the horses, the hospitality, all of it is just wonderful!
What a great cabin, no phones, TV, computers. This is how we can take a step back from the Rat Race of todays society and find true meaning of vacation. God Bless to All.
A great ranch to renew the soul.
Well, time to saddle up and enjoy awesome mountains of Colorado.
We'll be back in August to explore more!
You guys are fantastic. Our family felt right at home right away. This was a much needed family vacation and I can't think of a better place to all spend quality time together.
See you next year!
We enjoyed our stay here very much. It was very quiet and relaxing. We got to sit and share some great Mother-daughter stories together. This is such a beautiful, peaceful place. We will be back!
We want to say a BIG thank you for all who visited us this summer!!! We are so grateful for all of the friends we have made. The trees here are really amazing this year. Not sure what brings all that together but they are beautiful.
We have some incredible pictures that have been added to the photos page on our wesbiste. A big thank you goes out to our workampers Nan and Lynn for their contribution and also to Kent and Charlene from Trail Rider Magazine. Check them out – you'll see!
Thanks again to everybody. We hope to see you again SOON!
WOW!! The web site is awesome just like the ranch, your facilities and your hospitality. As you know, Kenny and I are there every chance we get. Good work!

Wight will take over city Rec Dept.July 31,2013By Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer
He's not using the word "interim," but Mayor Christopher Louras said Cindi Wight will take over the city Recreation Department, at least temporarily, upon the departure of Superintendent EJay Bishop.
Wight, whose title in the department is "recreation director," said she was confident she could step into the role with little or no difficulty.
"We have a great staff here that works hard to support the city," she said. "I have good people behind me."
Wight said Bishop had also pledged to stay in touch as she comes up to speed on the department's various projects.
Bishop handed in his resignation Monday, effective Aug. 5. Louras said he and the city attorney were still researching the process for putting a new superintendent in place, and that he did not want to call Wight the "interim" director because he did not know if the term would carry any connotations under the city charter.
"I expect that Cindi Wight will exercise the duties of the superintendent until a full-time person is named," Louras said Wednesday.
Wight, who recently earned a master's degree in parks and recreation management, said she was "definitely" interested in being the permanent superintendent and that it would be an honor to run the department.
"It's a bittersweet moment for me," she said. "To be a department head is something I've been working to make myself ready to be. ... EJay was a wonderful man."
Louras would not indicate any preference for selecting a permanent replacement from within the department or searching outside.
"I always look for the most qualified individual, no matter how it's done," he said. "That's my philosophy — find the right person for the job with the understanding that this is an appointment. ... All appointees are key members of the administration staff."
The superintendent of the Recreation Department is appointed by the mayor and confirmed by the Board of Aldermen.
Bishop's resignation followed the revelation that he spent roughly $50,000 from the recreation activities fund on architectural services without consulting the Board of Aldermen. While the money was spent in increments of no more than $2,900, keeping payments below the threshold at which purchases must go out to bid, Bishop entered contracts with the architect.
The city charter requires board approval for all contracts.
Board President David Allaire has said he still expects the aldermen to conduct an inquiry into the expenditures, likely starting at the next board meeting, Aug. 5.

Author: Stephen M. Walt, Robert and Renée Belfer Professor of International Affairs; Faculty Chair, International Security Program
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security
This commentary appeared as part of the online debate: "Should the U.S. Leave Afghanistan Now?"
Will fighting on in Afghanistan lead to a meaningful victory? No. Does it matter? Also no. Nearly 70 percent of Americans now think the war is a mistake. They are right.
The United States has been in Afghanistan for 11 years. Nearly 2,000 U.S. soldiers have been killed and 15,000 wounded trying to create a workable Afghan state, at a cost exceeding a half trillion dollars. Yet the U.S. has neither broken the back of the Taliban nor created effective Afghan institutions. The Karzai regime is still corrupt and incompetent and its security forces remain unreliable and infiltrated by insurgents.
Staying longer will not lead to victory, because the Taliban have sanctuaries and allies in Pakistan and will simply wait us out. Their ideology may be deeply objectionable, but they are an integral part of Afghan society while we are intruders from afar. It would be nice if we could protect Afghan civilians from further strife or future repression, but trying to do so will cost additional hundreds of billions of dollars, take a decade or more, and could still fail. The sad truth is: we do not know how to create stable governance in that unhappy country. Building an effective Afghan state is ultimately up to the Afghanis, not us.
Fortunately, Afghanistan is not a vital United States interest. President Obama had said that we must prevent Al Qaeda from establishing safe havens there, but Osama bin Laden is dead and Al Qaeda already has better safe havens elsewhere. Victory in Afghanistan will not eliminate Al Qaeda, and leaving won't make it more dangerous. If it makes no difference whether we win or lose, why fight on?
The United States should send soldiers in harm's way only when vital interests are at stake. The outcome in Afghanistan will have little impact on United States security and it makes no sense to squander more blood and treasure there. Our NATO allies have figured this out and are heading for the exits. We should join them.

Gays today, dogs next?March 26,2013
The Supreme Court is scheduled to soon take up cases that may make same-sex marriage the law of the land. I fear that the justices may find themselves behind the curve, as they say. How so? you ask. Well, I have just become aware of a movement that supports the idea of polyamory. This epiphany results from an article by Lisa Miller that appeared in The Washington Post on Friday. Polyamory, according to Miller, is the practice of loving and relating intimately to more than one person at a time. Proponents of this life style, from the realm of radical chicdom, believe that people polyandrous should have the right to have their union(s), whatever that means, blessed by a minister. Can recognition by state and federal government be far behind? Should not the U.S. Supreme Court declare that anybody may marry anybody in any number whenever they choose? Lets just be done with it. Think of the money that will be saved in legal fees and social unrest that will be avoided.
Now there is the question of intergenerational polyamory. You know if my grandson married my wife, hed be his own grandpa. Consummation of the marriage is a topic that probably is best left uninvestigated. A genealogist would go absolutely nuts trying to draw a pedigree, but no matter, all advances in civilizations have their costs. But, could this be a way to avoid death taxes over multiple generations? Theres something that might make the idea of polyamory palatable to even conservative Republicans. What about Social Security survivor benefits? One might be able to organize a polyandrous multiple-generation relationship that guaranteed perpetual payouts. Then, of course, we could go real weird and advocate for polyspecies marriage. You know I love my dog, despite the fact that he craps on my lawn and licks his private parts even when there is company in the house. But why not have church and government affirm our loving relationship?

10 Best Cars On The Market
In the automotive world, it's almost completely subjective in areas where the metrics don't back it up. You can measure "best mileage" by how many miles the Environmental Protection Agency says your vehicle travels per gallon, but there are still plenty of variables both on U.S. roads and under the hood that can pitch that number in either direction. Best-selling vehicle? Are we including all vehicles in Ford's
Even Motor Trend has the good grace to call its top vehicle the "Car Of The Year." Is it necessarily the best? Meh. Do certain aspects of it stand out from the field and make it worthy of greater consideration? Absolutely.
That's usually how folks who don't work for automakers have to talk about cars. It's not the "best," it's the "most reliable," or "most affordable," or "most efficient." When second place is a mile per gallon or $500 away, "best" can be an overreach -- at best.
And then there's the recent list of The 17 Best Cars You Can Buy from the folks at car ratings and sale site Edmunds. While the "best" part is, admittedly, the opinion of their editorial staff, the "You Can Buy" part is a bit of a stretch for a list that includes the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Range Rover, Bentley Continental GTC and, our favorite, the Ferrari FF as "Best Hatchback."
Still, if you're looking to the get the conversation flowing and bring the fanboys out of the woodwork, only "best" will do as your superlative of choice. We've taken 10 of the cars Edmunds considers the "best" in their category and included them here for your approval or derision. Car buyers, start your engines:

Windows Vista, 7 and 8, or Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) up to 10.9 (Maverick) operating systems (either desktop or laptop). Other aspects of your computer (memory, etc.) should be sized to adequately operate your desired OS.
When students initially attempt to connect to the network from the port in their room in the The Village or wirelessly (RamNet) for the rest of the resident halls, they will automatically be connected to an authentication site which will outline the connection process.
Connect your computer, tablet or smartphone to our wireless network using RamNet. Use RamNet-Guest for other devices.
If you need help connecting to the network you may take your computer to ResNet Central on the ground floor of Brandywine Hall for assistance or call or text 610-436-2660.
All problems with your connection, password, or email account should be directed to ResNet at 610-436-2660 during office hours. After office hours please leave a message stating your problem, along with your name, student ID number and a callback number.
Any other concerns or questions, you may contact Residence Life and Housing Services at 610-436-3307.
All students will need to go through the same connection/authentication process, even if their computer has operated on the University network previously. The instructions to do this will automatically come up the first time a student plugs into a network port on campus.

Hi ladies. I'm a first time mommy with OS and OALD.
I have been block feeding (2-3 feedings per side, 2-4 hours from start of one feeding to start of the next) my six week old son for over a week.
However, my supply does not seem to be going down. On the contrary, I have been dealing with engorgement for 4-5 days now. This is longer than the engorgement I had when my milk first came in (only about 2 days then). I have been quite consistent about doing multiple feedings per side in a row, although not consistent about how many, exactly; basically I stay on one side for 6-8 hours unless the other side becomes engorged enough to hurt without being touched. Sometimes I have gone and stood over the sink (with my torso horizontal) and simply allowed the pressure of the weight of my breast to cause a letdown, until it stops spraying and just drips.
About 2 weeks ago I was afraid we could have thrush because I was having stabbing pains that seemed like needles were traveling from my nipple up the duct paths all the way to my chest. It stopped/got better (which I understand thrush does not do), and looking back I wonder if some of it was the LO clamping and pulling while sucking that caused some of that pain. But, now I seem to get prickly pain in the middle/core of my breast and from the middle of each breast to my chest on the outside/skin side - i always have to check and see if LO's fingernails poked/scratched me or if it is just a pain inside my own body (usually just my own body, but that tells you what it feels like). These are more likely to happen when I am fully engorged.
The baby does eat enough to soften me up in one feeding, and by the end of the first feeding, if it's long, or by the second feeding at least, I am seeing the opaque white hindmilk, and my breast is niiice and mushy, so that's good.
The past two days he's been eating closer to every 4 hours instead of every 3-4 hours. Sometimes at night he'll make it 5-6 hours, sometimes only 4. He is gaining weight fine (I wonder if it's too much too fast, he's almost 11 lbs at 6.5 weeks but was 6 lbs when we brought him home from the hospital!) But, aside from gassiness that just won't go away (not shockingly), he is actually a very good, happy baby.
SO ANYWAY.... I'm not pumping. I'm block feeding. I'm not feeding too close together. SO why isn't my supply going down? !! Can anyone help me?

Geraldine V. O'RiordanOctober 12,2012
Geraldine V. O'Riordan
BARRE — Geraldine Veronica O'Riordan, 89, of Harrison Avenue, died Tuesday, Oct. 9, 2012, at the Woodridge Nursing Home in Berlin.
Born on July 16, 1923, in New York, N.Y., she was the daughter of Patrick and Ellen (McAvoy) Martin.
She received a Bachelor of Science degree in business from the College of Mount St. Vincent in Riverdale, N.Y., and a master's degree in special education.
Geraldine worked at St. Dominic's Home in Blauvelt, N.Y., as a New York City teacher and an assistant principal for 26 years. She retired in 1986. She and her husband, John F. O'Riordan, bought a second home in Ireland where they spent many wonderful summers with family and friends. They also had a home in Vero Beach, Fla., where they enjoyed having their children and grandchildren visit.
While living in New York, she was an active member of St. Catherine's Parish in Blauvelt for over 50 years and belonged to the parish's Rosary Society and the Ladies of Charity. She was also a member of the Orangeburg/Blauvelt Senior Citizens Group. Geraldine enjoyed a very active social life, attending parties and going on trips with the seniors especially to Atlantic City. She loved doing for others and playing bridge with her friends. She was very close to her sister Peggy and took many enjoyable trips with her.
Geraldine moved to Barre to be near her son and daughter-in-law, Kevin and Helena O'Riordan, and their children, taking up residence in Lincoln House. She has been a member of St. Monica Parish since moving to Barre. After suffering a stroke, she moved to Woodridge Nursing Home in Berlin where she lived until her death. She received excellent care at both facilities with a remarkably kind, caring and well-trained staff.
Her passion was caring for anyone in need, and she helped so many through the years, even when her health began to fail. She loved her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Geraldine will be missed by all who knew her.
Survivors include two sons, Kevin O'Riordan and his wife, Helena, of Barre, and John B. O'Riordan, of West Havestraw, N.Y.; her daughter, Ellen Madeya, and her husband, Raymond, of White Plains, N.Y.; eight grandchildren, Heith O'Dell, Elizabeth O'Riordan, Michael O'Riordan, Kristen O'Riordan, Joseph O'Riordan, Skylar O'Riordan, Logan Merrill and Ryan Madeya; four great-grandchildren, Colby Paquet, Brendan and Shea O'Riordan, and Levi Sherman; many nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her husband, John F. O'Riordan; three sisters, Helen Martin, Margaret Daly/Clare and Theresa Martin; and a brother, James Martin.
A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated Monday, Oct. 15, 2012, at 11 a.m. in St. Catherine's Church in Blauvelt, N.Y. Interment will be in the Rockland Cemetery in Sparkill, N.Y. Family and friends may call at the Moritz Funeral Home in Tappan, N.Y., Sunday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m.
The Hooker and Whitcomb Funeral Home, 7 Academy St., Barre, is assisting the family with local arrangements.
A memorial service will be held in Barre at a later date to be announced.MORE IN ObituariesFrederick A. Full StoryBonnie L. Full StoryRichard E. Lemery

Wedding Photos in a Rainforest
Capture the memories of your special day as a romantic, tropical paradise provides the perfect backdrop! All year long, the Buffalo Zoos fully-enclosed M&T Bank Rainforest Falls exhibit offers a unique setting for wedding photography. You and the love of your life can share in your wedding bliss surrounded by exotic wildlife, including ocelots, giant anteaters, brown capuchins, black howler monkeys, white-faced sakis and free-flighted birds. A spectacular, cascading waterfall completes the unforgettable experience.
How much does it cost to have our wedding photos taken inside M&T Bank Rainforest Falls?
The Buffalo Zoo charges $100.00 per half hour. (Longer sessions can be scheduled.) We worked in conjunction with other indoor photo locations to ensure our rates are reasonable and competitive.
Will the exhibit be closed to other visitors during our wedding photos?
We cannot close the exhibit to other paying guests. However, our security guard will be on hand to help ensure that no other guests walk into your shots. (Please note that the Zoos busiest season runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day.)
How far in advance must the photo session be arranged?
M&T Bank Rainforest Falls is one of the Zoos most popular exhibits. It is best to reserve your photo session as soon as possible. A nonrefundable deposit of half the final fee must be paid within two weeks of the booking date. The final payment is due 21 days prior to the photo date. If your party books within 21 days of your photo session, full payment must be paid within 3 days after the reservation is made.
Can we park close to the exhibit so we dont have to walk through the entire Zoo?
There is a gate located close to the entrance of the exhibit. When you reserve your photo session, you will be provided with additional information, including where you should enter the Zoo.
We have read the sign posted inside the exhibit that states the exhibit is misted throughout the day. Will we get wet?
During a scheduled photo session, arrangements will be made to ensure that your wedding party does not get wet. However, the ground may still be damp, so we recommend that brides hold up their dresses while walking through the exhibit.
We have seen that some birds fly freely throughout the exhibit. Will they approach us?
These birds generally do not approach visitors. If you need to walk past one that is nearby, we ask that you do so slowly and that you do not attempt to touch it. Also, to help ensure that wedding attire remains clean, we recommend designating one or two members of the wedding party to make sure no one is standing underneath any of the birds while a photo is taken.
NOTE: Please be aware there will be heavy moisture and bird droppings inside the exhibit.
As we continue celebrating our special occasion, are we permitted to bring food or beverages inside the exhibit?
For the safety of our animals (especially the free-flighted birds) and visitors, food and beverages are prohibited inside M&T Bank Rainforest Falls. No exceptions will be made.
If we have some time left during our photo session, can we have our photos taken at another exhibit?
Yes. However, please note that, like the Rainforest, these exhibits cannot be closed off to other visitors.
For additional information, please contact Rachel Gottlieb, the Zoos Public Relations Coordinator, at (716) 995-6129 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Please click here to review the Buffalo Zoos Wedding Photos Rental Agreement.

Thanks for the info!! I don't eat much sugar anyway, although I just ate 1 Reese's Cup. I change my bra every dayand wash between each wearing. I'm way too big to go braless--My guess would be right around a 40 g now that my milk is in, so it's totally uncomfortable to go w/o. I think I'm going to head to the outlet mall this weekend to buy a few more nursing bras. Right now I only have the tank/sports bra types, and that's getting a bit old right now...I'm used to an underwire and need more support than I have right now. I haven't needed nursing pads yet, and I do dry my nipples before closing up my bra, and let them air dry until she's totally done feeding.
What is acidopholus/probiotics? or whatever it is you said to eat...I've never heard of that.
Thanks again for your advice!!

The complex face of Orthodoxy
When he became president of Russia last year, Vladimir Putin disclosed that "when I was serving in the KGB in Germany, I always wore a cross under my shirt." Whether or not one believes this astonishing claim, there is no doubt that Putin embraces the Russian Orthodox Church as a partner in his blueprint for a strong new Russia.

Important CMS Fixes
By Poonam-Oracle on Jul 11, 2009
In this entry, I would like to talk about some CMS (Concurrent Mark Sweep) issues, their workarounds and the releases these are fixed in.
\* 6558100: CMS crash following parallel work queue overflow.
This crash is seen when -XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled is set.
Workaround is to use -XX:-ParallelRefProcEnabled.
This is fixed in 1.4.2_17, 5.0u14 and 6u4
\* 6578335: CMS: BigApps failure with -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=1
For clarity sake, this issue was broken into three separate bugs 6722112, 6722113 and 6722116.
\* 6722112: CMS: Incorrect encoding of overflown ObjectArrays during concurrent precleaning.
Workaround is to use -XX:-CMSPrecleaningEnabled and also increasing the size of the marking stack via -XX:CMSMarkStackSize{,Max} would reduce the probability of hitting this bug.
This is fixed in 1.4.2_19-rev-b09, 5.0u18-rev-b03, 6u7-rev-b15 and 6u12.
\* 6722113: CMS: Incorrect overflow handling during Precleaning of Reference lists.
Workaround is to use options -XX:-CMSPrecleanRefLists1 and -XX:-CMSPrecleanRefLists2
This is fixed in 6u14, 5.0u18-rev-b05 and 6u13-rev-b05.
\* 6722116: CMS: Incorrect overflow handling when using parallel concurrent marking.
Workaround is to switch off parallel concurrent marking with -XX:-CMSConcurrentMTEnabled. Also increasing the CMS marking stack size (-XX:CMSMarkStackSize, -XX:CMSMarkStackSizeMax) would reduce the probability of hitting this bug.
This is fixed in 6u7-rev-b15 and 6u12.
So, if you face any of these above crashes, please upgrade to the JDK version in which it is fixed. And if upgrade is not possible, workaround can be used to avoid the issue.
Please note that Java SE for Business support contract is required for using Revision Releases (e.g. 1.4.2_19-rev-b09).

GDP penalty
White House, GDP numbers and Orwell's Ministry of Truth
The more I read political spin these days, the more I feel the shadow of Orwell's "Ministry of Truth" from "1984" trying to solidify its existence.
Yesterday's disastrous GDP numbers were followed up by this nonsense from the White House:
The estimates found economic growth slowed to 1.5 percent last quarter – down from 2 percent the previous quarter and 4.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011 — but the chairman of President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers said that at least it's still growing.
Yes indeed. "Still growing". That's a bit like saying a baby born without a brain and being kept alive on life support is "still alive".
Technically true, but in the case of the baby, a condition everyone would agree is a tragedy. In the case of this economy, as stated, those numbers are a disaster.
"Today's report shows that the economy posted its twelfth straight quarter of positive growth," Alan B. Krueger wrote in a statement. "Over the last three years, the economy has expanded by 6.7 percent overall, and the private components of GDP have grown by 9.9 percent."
Yes sir, the private sector is "doing fine". 9.9% growth in three years! As for the GDP (which is forecast now to be at an annual rate of 1.3%), hey, it's still growing.
Unsaid by the spokesman for the Ministry of Truth, is just "growing" just isn't good enough to be considered "positive". Rule of thumb?
Therefore, economists agree the ideal GDP growth rate is more than 2%, but less than 4%. In between the two recessions, the annual economic growth rate was ideal:
- 2.5% in 2003.
- 3.9% in 2004.
- 3.2% in 2005.
- 2.7% in 2006.
- 2.0% in 2007.
What economists are also coming to agree on is excessive debt – like that we've run up – puts about a 1.2% penalty on GDP. Or said another way, we're unlikely to see GDP growth return to the "ideal" anytime soon, given the 10 year plan by government to spend 46 trillion dollars we don't have. If you're wondering what all that means, consult the Japanese economy for the last two decades. That's likely the new "normal" with the policies in place from this administration.
But hey, if everyone would rather talk about Mitt Romney's wonderful European adventure (hey, at least he's not bowing to everyone in sight), that's fine. It is certainly something the Ministry of Truth would approve.

News Releases
/ Applications for Conservation Stewardship Program due Jan. 17
Loading Tree...
Release: 032014
Renee Bodine, 352-338-9565
GAINESVILLE, Fl., Dec. 2, 2013--The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is opening the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) for new enrollments for federal fiscal year 2014. Starting today through January 17, 2014, producers interested in participating in the program can submit applications to NRCS.
"Through the Conservation Stewardship Program, farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners are going the extra mile to conserve our nation's resources," NRCS Chief Jason Weller said. "Through their conservation actions, they are ensuring that their operations are more productive and sustainable over the long run."
The CSP is an important Farm Bill conservation program that helps established conservation stewards with taking their level of natural resource management to the next level to improve both their agricultural production and provide valuable conservation benefits such as cleaner and more abundant water, as well as healthier soils and better wildlife habitat.
Weller said today's announcement is another example of USDA's comprehensive focus on promoting environmental conservation and strengthening the rural economy, and it is a reminder that a new Food, Farm and Jobs Bill is pivotal to continue these efforts. CSP is now in its fifth year and so far, NRCS has partnered with producers to enroll more than 59 million acres across the nation.
The program emphasizes conservation performance — producers earn higher payments for higher performance. In CSP, producers install conservation enhancements to make positive changes in soil quality, soil erosion, water quality, water quantity, air quality, plant resources, animal resources and energy.
Some popular enhancements used by farmers and ranchers include:
Eligible landowners and operators in all states and territories can enroll in CSP through January 17th to be eligible during the 2014 federal fiscal year. While local NRCS offices accept CSP applications year round, NRCS evaluates applications during announced ranking periods. To be eligible for this year's enrollment, producers must have their applications submitted to NRCS by the closing date.
A CSP self-screening checklist is available to help producers determine if the program is suitable for their operation. The checklist highlights basic information about CSP eligibility requirements, stewardship threshold requirements and payment types.

In 1982, Mike Munchak was Chance Warmack and Jonathan Cooper. Back then, just as it is now, taking an interior offensive lineman high in the NFL Draft was uncommon. But the Houston Oilers liked what they saw in the Penn State product and used the No. 8 overall pick on him.
It turned out to be a sound investment. Munchak started as a rookie at left guard and played 12 seasons there, earning nine Pro Bowl selections, 10 All-Pro selections and a spot on the NFL's all-decade team for the 1980s. He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2001.
Now, a dozen years later, Munchak is entering his third season as the head coach of the Tennessee Titans (nee Houston Oilers). And with his team in the market for interior offensive line help, he's well aware of the old adage about picking a guard in the top 10.
But he also knows all about the exceptions.
"If you have someone that is special, someone that is really good, that kind of gets thrown out the window," said Munchak, whose Titans are set to pick 10th overall when the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft kicks off next Thursday night. "So you have to decide where you want to pick a guy like that."
If the Titans – or any of the another top-10 teams – want to take a guard that high, Alabama's Warmack and North Carolina's Cooper are both worthy.
"When you really look at the guard position, there's some real good ones this year. This is a strong year for guards," ESPN NFL Draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said. "There's some great evaluators that tell you don't take a guard in the first round, let alone the top 10. Some teams won't be interested in guards. Some will. I know (Pro Football Hall of Famer) John Hanna went fourth overall in 1973. It's been rare, but it's happened. It's been a rare scenario to see two guards going this high.
"But Cooper, he's as athletic a guard as you'll ever find. You can see him 30 yards down the field making a key block. (And) Chance Warmack from Alabama is a great player as well. So you have some elite guards and I think Cooper could come off the board in the top 10."
Both Cooper and Warmack understand that going early as a guard is unlikely. The last true guard to be taken in the top 10 was Colorado's Chris Naeole, who went 10th to the New Orleans Saints that year.
"It's widely known that guards aren't drafted that high," Warmack said. "If that did happen, that would be an honor as a player that plays guard."
Added Cooper: "I think I'm very blessed to be playing at guard and to be as highly regarded as I am, so I'm thankful for that. But it's not a glamour position. They like guys who run power and run it consecutive times, just smash people until they can't hardly think. So it is not a glamour position and it is hard to be scouted, but I'm grateful because I have been blessed with the opportunity."
As good as the guards may be, three tackles – Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel, Central Michigan's Eric Fisher and Oklahoma's Lane Johnson – could go in the top 10, with Joeckel expected to go No. 1 overall to the Kansas City Chiefs. While the quarterback class is uninspiring and there are some risky, boom-or-bust possibilities on the defensive side of the ball early, the offensive linemen appear to be safe, almost can't-miss picks, led by Joeckel.
"He's very, very good at what he does. He's going to be a very, very good football player," Munchak said. "He's a guy that's going be able to come right in to the NFL and play immediately."
During his time in Houston, Munchak teamed with another Hall of Fame offensive lineman, Bruce Matthews, who's now the Titans' offensive line coach. Matthews' son Jake played right tackle opposite Joeckel last year, and the tandem reminded Munchak of what he and the elder Matthews used to be.
"You watch (Joeckel) on tape and you watch him on TV, and he's a special guy. I know he went against a lot of good defensive ends in college and you see he is up to the challenge, with Jake Matthews being the right tackle," Munchak said. "I think those guys helped each other similar to how Bruce and I did all those years of watching each other and competing. I think they're very competitive and I think it's helped both of their developments. I think Luke is going to be a very special player."
1. Luke Joeckel, T, Texas A&M (6-foot-6, 306 pounds, 5.29 seconds in the 40-yard dash): Started 13 games at left tackle as a true freshman in 2010 and never surrendered the job, winning the Outland Trophy last year as a junior while protecting Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Johnny Manziel. … Not an off-the-charts athlete but has very good football IQ and is only going to get better as he matures.
2. Chance Warmack, G, Alabama (6-2, 317, 5.49): started 13 games in 2010, 13 games in 2011 and 14 games last season, all at left guard. … Was a first-team All-American last year. … Powerful, strong blocker with strong competitive streak and explosive blocking ability. … Excellent in pass protection, extremely difficult to move.
3. Eric Fisher, T, Central Michigan (6-7 1/4, 306, 5.06): Started two games as a true freshman in 2009, then started nine games at right tackle, right guard and left tackle in 2010 before finding a home at left tackle in 2011 (10 starts) and 2012 (13 starts). … Moved up draft boards after top-notch performances at Senior Bowl and NFL Scouting Combine. … Athletic, confident player who needs to add some strength but should be an immediate starter and high first-round pick..
4. Jonathan Cooper, G, North Carolina (6-2 1/8, 311, 5.07): Started nine games at left guard as a redshirt freshman in 2009, then started 13 games in 2010 (12 at left guard, one at center), 13 games in 2011 (all at left guard) and 12 in 2012 (all at left guard) en route to first-team all-America honors as a senior. … Excellent pulling guard who figures to start immediately.
5. D.J. Fluker, T, Alabama (6-4 5/8, 339, 5.31): Started nine games at right tackle in 2010 as a redshirt freshman, then started all 13 games in 2011 and all 14 games last season as a junior. … Incredible size, great physical strength but looks like an NFL right tackle or guard, not a left tackle..

Is there a role for speculative journals like Medical Hypotheses in the scientific literature?
The core information supporting science-based medicine resides in the scientific literature. There, scientists and physicians publish the results of experiments and clinical trials that seek to understand the biological mechanisms by which the human body functions and through which disease forms and to apply this understanding to test new treatments for diease. Consequently, the quality and integrity of the biomedical literature are topics of utmost importance to supporters of science-based medicine. We've discussed problems with the scientific literature before here, ranging from how pseudoscientific "complementary and alternative medicine" journals have insinuated themselves into the medical literature and how drug companies have managed exercise undue influence over clinical trials and journals.
One question that perhaps we have not dealt with so much is the question of the very nature of a good scientific journal, particularly what is suitable material for such a journal. For purposes of this discussion, I will focus mainly on the biomedical literature, which spans a range from basic science journals dealing with biomedical science to clinical journals, which mainly report the results of clinical trials and clinical research. Of these journals, there are in general two types, journals that primarily report original research and those that present reviews of existing research. Most journals do a mix of the two, the majority tending towards a form where most of the articles are reports of orginal research mixed in with a much smaller number of review articles.
There is one journal, however, that is different. It is a journal known as Medical Hypotheses. It is a journal that (or so it claims) exists to present radical scientific ideas, the more radical the better. Here is how the journal is described on its website:

Oh where to begin...
My daughter, Mirakel, is my first (and last) child. She was born at 30 weeks gestation and is now corrected to 2 1/2 weeks old. We came home from the hospitla 5 weeks ago today and things are going down hill instead of up.
She was showing slight signs of reflux in the holspital but it got much worse after coming home. She is now on zantac, compounded to not be mint, but that messed up her bowl movements (at least we think that's what did it). So the doc had us give her a tsp of mineral oil in a bottle and she finally pooped but she has had orange wattery stools ever since then (a week and a half). Then the doc said only give the zantac once a day to see if that helps. The only thing that occoplished was a misserable baby. Now we are back on the zantac twice a day but it dosn't seem to be working now! Also during all of that it was discoved that I had retained part of my placenta so I had to go in for a D&C. The anestisia used requiered me to pump and dump for 24 hours before breastfeeding Mirakel...luckly we had plenty of breast milk stored!
Ok so I also have Addison's Disease and my health has been steadly declining since Mirakel was born. I thought, once we discoved I had retainded placenta and had it removed, things would get better but they have continued to get worse. My doctor has increased my hydracortisone dose and I'm afraid it may be affecting Mirakel...so now what? I've always been a firm beiliver in breast is best but I'm not sure I can keep up. I also haven't been able to keep up on calories and am dropping wieght.
Any suggestion for any of my problems?

Ice storm to make driving dangerous
Officials at the National Weather Service are predicting slippery conditions in Pocahontas County and the eastern portions of Randolph County today.
As of 3 p.m. Monday, an ice storm warning issued by the NWS said freezing rain was expected to cover the area until 1 p.m. today.
"There will be ice tonight and tomorrow morning," Meteorologist John Victory said Monday. "It will turn to rain by the afternoon."
The warning suggests that ice accumulation could lead to widespread power outages. Accumulations of ice are predicted to reach 0.25 to 0.40 inches in Pocahontas County and 0.25 inches in eastern Randolph.
Victory said the slippery conditions on the roads will change as the temperature warms up by this afternoon and the freezing rain turns to rain.
Wind is also an issue that residents should look out for, Victory said.
"There will be some strong, gusty winds on the ridgetops," he said.
Victory said he expected wind gusts to persist until this evening.
A wind advisory released by the NWS at approximately 3:30 p.m. Monday confirmed his expectation. The advisory will be in effect until 7 p.m. today, predicting continuous 20 to 30 mph winds, with gusts up to 50 mph.
The advisory said strong winds could cause tree damage, power fluctuations and outages and possible debris which could end up in roadways.
Victory also said rain will be likely throughout Wednesday, with temperatures rising in the early part of the week.
Victory said he expects Elkins residents to see highs in the 40s both today and Wednesday. By Thursday and Friday, highs are expected to drop to the low 30s.
The NWS website lists today's low as just below freezing, at 30 degrees. Wednesday night's low will increase alongside the high, up to 36 degrees.
Thursday and Friday night's lows are expected to decrease to the mid-20s.
Snow showers are expected Thursday and Friday evening, with chances of precipitation on Thursday at 80 percent and on Friday at 60 percent, according to the NWS website.

I've provided a list of alleged contradictions in the New Testament from a file I've found floating around the internet. This is so you know what someone is talking about when this comes up in discussion. Some of them had explanations that were blatantly obvious and weren't problematic at all but I've saved some interesting one's for your consideration. Even so, some of these are a bit easy to harmonize. However, don't be so quick to lay down a Christian trump card. Carefully consider what's going on and work through it. I do affirm biblical inerrancy and I would recommend several books to address the issues of such alleged contradictions:
Mike Licona's The Resurrection of Jesus: A New Historiographical Approach
Ed Komoszewski, M. James Sawyer, and Dan Wallace's Reinventing Jesus
Craig Blomberg's The Historical Reliability of the Gospels

University of Hawaii at Manoa Chancellor Tom Apple announced Friday that Ben Jay, Executive Associate Athletics Director for Finance and Operations at Ohio State University, has been selected as and accepted the job as UH Athletics Director.
More information, such as Jay's official start date, length of contract and salary, will be shared with the public after approval of the appointment by UH System President M.R.C. Greenwood.
"I am delighted that Ben is joining us as UH Athletics Director, and know that he will be a great addition to our Manoa 'ohana with his vision and strong finance, accounting and compliance background," said Apple. "His extensive experience with the Pac-10 (now Pac-12) Conference, and Division I sports in general, will be invaluable in raising the University's athletics and academics profiles nationally."
Jay has been employed by Ohio State University for six years. He heads the financial oversight of the Athletics Department, including being responsible for a $132.4 million operating budget in fiscal year 2012, instituting a new financial discipline environment to drive annual budget compliance, and initiating a collaboration with Ohio State's Internal Audit Department to analyze and identify financial/operation weaknesses and insufficient internal controls.
Said Gene Smith, OSU Director of Athletics, "I am extremely proud and happy for Ben Jay and his family. Ben is a seasoned professional in intercollegiate athletics who will be sorely missed at OSU, but the University of Hawaii will benefit from his great leadership."
Previous to Ohio State, he served 13 years as Associate Commissioner for the Pac-10 Conference, and five years as Assistant Athletic Director for Business and Finance at Fairfield University in Connecticut. Jay earned a Bachelor in Science in Business Administration (major: Accounting/minor: Finance) and Master of Arts in Physical Education (major: Athletics Administration), both from Ohio State University. He is married and has three children.
Apple said many people should be credited with attracting such an impressive candidate as Jay to the UH Athletics Director job.
"We sincerely thank UH System Vice President Rockne Freitas for serving as Interim Athletics Director since July, and the members of the Athletics Director Search Advisory Committee, who volunteered so many hours of their valuable time and effort," said Apple. "I am also personally appreciative of the feedback relayed to me by our UH Manoa 'ohana, including alumni and community members, on this key leadership position."
Added Howard Karr, who chaired the A.D. Search Advisory Committee, "Ben Jay brings an extensive background in management and financial experience from big-time college athletics, has numerous valuable contacts, and possesses the vision, leadership skills, passion and integrity to take UH Athletics to the next level. UH and the community should be elated at the prospect of having our new A.D. be someone of Jay's superior caliber."
Jay replaces Jim Donovan, who was given a new post following a bungled Stevie Wonder concert and athletic department fundraiser earlier this year. The university had cleared Donovan of any wrongdoing.
A state Senate report last month said the incident had tarnished the university's reputation nationally and within Hawaii.
