Sooo, last Sunday I was in the mother's lounge at church, sitting cross-legged on the floor nursing my little guy, since that's the only way (with my knees) I could get him high enough and supported. Yes, it's a little uncomfy, but I only have to do it when we're out and about, and at least he will eat that way. He gets really fussy with the cross-cradle hold without more support under him, and I just can't seem to get him latched on in the cradle hold, so that's even more awkward.
When I explained this to another mother who wondered why I wasn't sitting in a rocker or the couch, she gave this knowing smile and said, "OH! You're Boppy dependent! I was like that with my first." And contemplating on that and reviewing our habits this past week, I think she's right. At home, I just sit in my rocker, lay him out on the boppy, latch him on with the cross-cradle, and support my breast with one hand, leaving the other free to cuddle him, or reach water/phone/book. This is working great for us while we're at home.
But away from home... I think I'll bring my boppy with us on our errands today, and see how that goes! I guess I'm just wondering if anybody else was in the same situation, and what I can do.
Do they need to be a certain age/growth level before the cradle hold really works? I think that might be the answer for us, but it's still so tricky! Any ideas???

This time, the second half was kind to the Eastern Washington University men's basketball team.
A day after letting an 11-point halftime lead slip away in a three-point loss, the Eagles had the same lead in the first half hold up this time as EWU defeated the University of South Carolina Upstate 75-70 Wednesday (Nov. 21) at the Leavey Center in Santa Clara, Calif. The game was part of the 2012 College Basketball Experience (CBE) Hall of Fame Classic, which is hosted by the National Association of Basketball Coaches.
"It was a complete game," said Eastern head coach Jim Hayford of his team's first victory in five games this season. "We shared the ball well, we played hard and we didn't gauge our energy off of our offense -- we gauged our energy off our defense. That's what we have to do. Hopefully, having this success will help get that through to our team. We're very happy to get the win."
Senior Jeffrey Forbes hit a 3-pointer with 18.5 seconds remaining to give the Eagles a five-point lead, and point guard Justin Crosgile hit a pair of free throws with 0.7 seconds to play to clinch the win for EWU. The Eagles had made it interesting with six missed free throws down the stretch, enabling USC Upstate to tie the game for the first time in the second half at 67-all.
But Eastern did an outstanding job of not allowing the Spartans to get a lead, as the last Spartan advantage came in the early-going by an 8-7 score. After knotting the game, USC Upstate missed its next shots, and a dunk by Martin Seiferth with 2:10 remaining gave EWU the lead for good.
"We kept the lead in the second half," said Hayford. "They tied it, but we buckled down after that, and we did it with stops. It wasn't just trying to out-score teams. This Upstate team can find a rhythm – they won 20 games last season and have a lot of players back. This was a good win for us -- we did a really good job of defending.
"Jeffrey hit a big, big shot to give us that two-possession separation," Hayford added. The trey was the sixth of season for Forbes, who has 149 in his career to rank fourth in school history.
Senior Collin Chiverton, last year's Big Sky Conference Newcomer of the Year, had a season-high 19 points in 18 minutes before fouling out with 6:20 to play. It was his best scoring performance since scoring 20 versus UC Irvine on Feb. 18 last season. A year ago, he had 12 20-point performances, but was slowed late in the year with injuries.
Freshman Venky Jois had his second-straight double-double, scoring 19 points and grabbing 11 rebounds for the Eagles. One game earlier, in an 86-83 loss to Utah Valley, he finished with 16 points and 11 boards.
"Venky is going to be a really good player for us," said Hayford of Jois, who gave EWU its biggest lead of the first half at 37-36 with a dunk with four minutes before intermission.
"And well take those numbers from Chiv any time. He made 5-of-9 shots and made his free throws for a quiet 19."
The biggest difference in the game came at the 3-point stripe, where Eastern was 12-of-24, compared to a 3-of-17 performance by the Spartans. The Eagles made a season-high 48 percent of its shots from the field as Jois finished 8-of-12 from the field and Chiverton made 5-of-8 3-point attempts. Overall, Eastern made 48 percent of its shots while holding USC Upstate to 44 percent.
"We had better shot selection and we made 50 percent, so now we look like a better 3-point shooting team," said Hayford, whose team had made only 32 percent from the arc coming into the game. "We actually shot better from three than two tonight."
Crosgile dished out 11 assists – equaling the seventh-most in recorded school history -- a night after finishing with nine versus Utah Valley. Crosgile also scored eight points on 2-of-3 shooting from the field, 1-of-2 from the 3-point stripe and 3-of-6 from the free throw line. He entered the game averaging 17.0 shots and 11.0 attempted treys per game, and was making just 34 percent overall and 30 percent from the arc.
"He played a real complete game, and that was a pleasure to see," said Hayford. "If he would have made his free throws, he would have had a double-double."
Opening with its first six games of the season on the road, Wednesday's outing was the third of a six-day stretch with four games. After a day off for Thanksgiving, Eastern concludes its appearance in the CBE Classic by playing host Santa Clara at approximately 4:15 p.m. on Friday (Nov. 23).
Eastern doesn't play at home until Cal State Fullerton visits on Nov. 30. The Eagles open league play on Dec. 20.
"It's really nice to get on the winning side – I wanted that for our team," Hayford said. "I really do believe that when we start Big Sky Conference play, we will be a complete team. We just need all the pieces to work together and have our players understand their parts."

This May, we mark National Foster Care Month for the 25th time in our country's history. In the quarter-century since this observance was established, the child welfare system in the United States has undergone dramatic shifts. Most strikingly, the number of children in foster care has decreased steadily since its peak in the 80s and early 90s; today there are 27 percent fewer children in foster care than in 1996.
Certainly this reduction is the result of positive changes in the child welfare system: more children are able to stay safely in their homes, and those who do come into foster care are moving more quickly to permanency. During National Foster Care Month, we can celebrate the progress the child welfare system has made, but we must also recommit ourselves to improving outcomes for the approximately 400,000 children who are in foster care on any given day.
For nearly four years, the Administration on Children, Youth and Families' priority has been integrating a focus on improving social and emotional well-being into the child welfare system's work to ensure safety and permanency for young people. In order to truly improve outcomes for the children and families we serve, we must help them to heal and recover from trauma and build the skills and capacities they need to be successful in school, in the workforce, and in their relationships.
We have advanced a three-part strategy to integrate well-being with safety and permanency:
For more information about this strategy, see last year's information memorandum, Promoting Social and Emotional Well-Being for Children and Youth Receiving Child Welfare Services.
This work requires the dedicated efforts of committed partners. In particular, collaboration across child welfare, mental health, and Medicaid are essential to provide effective, evidence-based interventions to children and youth in foster care. At the federal level, we have been working across agencies – with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) – to support coordination in the states.
Some of the most exciting work testing strategies for promoting well-being is taking place in states with Child Welfare Demonstration Projects. Many are working closely with their state Medicaid agencies to support the delivery of evidence-based interventions that address trauma and improve well-being outcomes for children and youth. Nine new demonstration projects are underway, and ACYF has the authority to grant up to 10 more in this fiscal year and another 10 in the next.
Today there are so many promising programs and projects explicitly targeting the social and emotional well-being of children and youth in foster care. As I think ahead 25 years to the 50th National Foster Care Month, I envision a child welfare system that will have made great strides in achieving fundamentally better outcomes for the children and families it serves. The work we are doing today to better integrate safety, permanency, and well-being is laying the foundation for that future.

- Splat taxonomy of polymeric thermal spray coating
- Author(s)
- Alamara, Kadhim; Saber-Samandari, Saeed; Berndt, C. C.
- Abstract
- The geometry of a powder particle and the splat that it gives rise to during the thermal spray process are key parameters that determine the physical attributes of a coating. The splat shape is an important feature that requires accurate characterization, preferably by means of a quantified metric, so that the rapid solidification process of thermal spray deposition can be understood. In this work we report on a polypropylene (PP) powder that was sprayed onto a glass substrate at room temperature using the flame spray process, at various stand-off distances (SODs). Several statistical concepts were employed using image analysis techniques that were complemented by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and 2D profilometry: methods that measured the splat metrics of formation, including an estimate of splash area. Measurement of equivalent diameter, degree of splashing, spreading factor, deposition efficiency and circularity have quantified splats so that thermal spray parameterization can be related to the process efficiency. The results of this study indicated that increasing the SOD from 10 cm to 25 cm reduced the splat thickness and deposition efficiency; while other metrics (as listed earlier) were not routinely correlated, though an increase in splash area was demonstrated. Splat circularity was steady around 0.9, indicating that the deposited particles exhibited a circular shape at all SODs.

LOOKING BACK: After getting knocked into the wall as he and Clint Bowyer battled for fifth place with only seven laps to go, Gordon limped around the track until he had a chance to deliberate wreck Bowyer – which he did with just over a lap remaining. Moments after Gordon climbed out of his car he was attacked by a member of Bowyer's crew to trigger a fight that involved both teams. It took NASCAR several minutes to break up the fight. Gordon escaped unhurt. He ended the day in 30th place. "Things have gotten escalated over the year and I have just had it," said Gordon after meeting with NASCAR officials. "Clint has run into me numerous times, wrecked me and he got into me on the back straightaway, pretty much ruined out day. I have had it, was fed up with it and got him back."
ETC.: NASCAR announced Monday it was fining Gordon $100,000 and docking him 25 points which dropped him to 11th in the standings and put him on probation for the remainder of the season. "I take responsibility for my actions on the race track," said Gordon in a statement released by Hendrick Motorsports after the penalty was revealed. "I accept NASCAR's decision and look forward to ending the season on a high note at Homestead." NASCAR could have parked Gordon, but decided against this action. "Following a thorough analysis of the actions that took place during Sunday's race at Phoenix, we have issued penalties based upon our review," said Robin Pemberton, NASCAR vice president of competition. "We consider the penalties appropriate and those involved understand our decision and we expect them to abide by them."
88 DALE EARNHARDT, JR., Chevrolet
Team: Hendrick Motorsports
WHERE HE STANDS: 12th, 160 points out of first place.
HOMESTEAD RECORD: His 11th-place finish last year was his best finish in 12 starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Earnhardt said, "Homestead has turned into a really good race track. We are able to move all over the track and look for speed in different places. The cars seem to respond to that. The track is very unique even though it looks quite simple. It is really a challenge. Both corners are very different from each other and require the cars to handle differently in each corner. It is a fun place to race."
LOOKING BACK: It was a long, long day for Earnhardt as he battled an ill-handling race car all afternoon. "We just never could find the handle today," said Earnhardt, who finished 21st, a lap down. "We tried a lot of different things, but nothing seemed to really help. It was just one of those days that you have some time."
ETC.: Crew chief Steve Letarte feels the car the team is bringing to Homestead is a "winning one." Earnhardt drove the car to a fourth-place finish at Michigan in August. "It is just a good car, and one that Dale Junior really likes," said Letarte. "We really want to finish the season with a win."
18 KYLE BUSCH, Toyota
Team: Joe Gibbs Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 13th.
HOMESTEAD RECORD: Only one top-10 finish in seven starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Busch admits Homestead-Miami Speedway has not "been great to me. We've had a few races where our runs have been much better than the results have shown. We were running top-10 in 2011 before we got wrecked. I'm hoping we can have another strong car (like at Phoenix) and finish off the season strong. That would give us some momentum for the offseason and for next season."
LOOKING BACK: Busch dominated the race as he led four times for 237 laps. But he struggled on the two final restarts and ended the day in third place. Busch, naturally, wasn't too pleased with the final results. "Guys gave me an awesome car," said Busch. "Just gave it away at the end. Just didn't pick the right lane (on the next-to-last restart). It's my fault. Obviously, having a car that's the class of the field – you expect to win and you're supposed to win. We just basically handed the race on a silver platter to the 29 (Kevin Harvick)"
ETC: The team is optimistic that it will sign Busch to a contract extension during the off-season "I feel good that we'll get it all together," said J. D. Gibbs, president of Joe Gibbs Racing. "I'm not going to say anything official, but we feel good about it." Busch will be entering the final year of his contract in 2013. If he does not sign an extension this winter, several teams are expected to talk to Busch about 2014 and beyond.
39 RYAN NEWMAN, Chevrolet
Team: Stewart-Haas Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 14th, 82 points out of 13th place.
HOMESTEAD RECORD: Three top-10 finishes in 10 starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Newman said he had mixed feelings about Homestead being the last race of the season. "People ask me – family, friends, whoever – if I'm looking forward to the off season and I answer yes and no," said Newman. "Yes because my ultimate goal of winning the championship is not within grasp by any means. No because I am running out of races to try and get a pole and win another race. But I really enjoy the off season; I enjoy the 90-plus days or whatever it is of being able to spend time with family and the outdoors and hunting and a little bit of fishing."
LOOKING BACK: As Newman headed for the finish line his car was hit by another and sent spinning into the inside retaining wall. Newman was hit by several more cars as he crossed the finish line backwards. "Well, my car is junk," said Newman. "But that was a good run for our Quicken Loans/U.S Army Chevrolet. Matt (Borland, crew chief) made some good calls today, and the crew did a good job. I'm just really disappointed in the way NASCAR handled that last lap (by not throwing the caution flag). That was not fair to the drivers at all. I took a hard hit. So did several others, and I'm just glad everyone's OK."
ETC.: Newman has won at least one pole position in 11 straight years. "It's an important part of my career to keep that streak alive," said Newman. "We are not in the Shootout as of right now. We don't want to have to sit that race out (matching all the pole winners of 2012) when we get to Daytona in February. So our goal this week is pretty simple – win the pole and the race."

if you think funk is dead, then you are funked up
DISCLAIMER: I am calling it, friends. These two new jams will definitely be on the summer 2013 top ten list. Be prepared to hear these beats at stop lights through open car windows, beach parties and weddings.
Robin Thicke and Daft Punk are currently doing everything right. Pairing up with musical mastermind, Pharrell Williams on both artist's new singles is a match made in heaven.
Tracks "Blurred Lines" and "Get Lucky" are undeniably groovy. I almost don't even have to put into words why you should like these songs. If either of them don't make you smile, tap your feat or shake your groove thang, than you have no business being a sane human being.
"Blurred Lines" samples Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give It Up", which was quite brave, but Thicke manages to do it justice, combining his smooth voice and sexy lyrics with this classic R&B beat. You really have to admit that this song is a great take on an old, soulful sound that we haven't quite heard in recent years. Kudos to Thicke, T.I., and Pharrell.
And if one great song wasn't enough, Pharrell also paired up with Daft Punk on their highly anticipated new album, Random Access Memories. Much like "Blurred Lines", "Get Lucky" also has a 70s throwback/disco vibe which should also get all you kids on the dance floor. It's smooth, it has swag, and it only confirms that dance music is king in today's pop hit list.
seanskisez: That Pharrell is on fire!

NASCAR Driver Austin Dillon Gives Fans Sneak Peek of Special Cheerios Packaging Featuring Legacy of the No. 3
January 21, 2014
CINCINNATI (January 21, 2014) – Race fans in Cincinnati got revved up for the start of the 2014 NASCAR season today as Kroger and General Mills partnered to bring NASCAR star Austin Dillon to Kroger's hometown where he met with fans, employees and unveiled new Cheerios packaging that honors the continued legacy of the No. 3 in the sport.
Dillon, who will be competing in his first full season in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, revealed an over-sized version of the Cheerios box at Kroger in West Chester, Ohio earlier this afternoon while meeting fans. Local fans in attendance had the opportunity to meet the two-time NASCAR champion, receive his autograph and check out the No. 3 Cheerios Chevrolet SS that will hit the track this year.
"Not only is it an honor for me to drive the No. 3 Cheerios Chevrolet SS, it's very humbling to have the heritage of the No. 3 featured on a Cheerios box," said Dillon. "When I began racing, I wanted to race the No. 3 because that was the number my grandfather, Richard Childress, raced before Dale Earnhardt made it famous. It's a special number for our family and to see the history of the No. 3 being showcased on a box of Cheerios is really cool. It's a great example of the support General Mills and Kroger has for our sport and its fans."
The one-of-a-kind packaging showcases the iconic No. 3 on the front of the Cheerios box with historic photos and facts about the No. 3 covering the entire back side of the cereal package. Fans will be able to purchase their collectible Cheerios box exclusively at Kroger beginning February 16.
"We're thrilled to kick off the 2014 NASCAR season with Austin and Richard Childress Racing and looking forward to cheering the No. 3 Cheerios Chevrolet SS on the track." said Sukanya Madlinger, President of the Cincinnati/Dayton Division of Kroger. "We wanted to provide fans the opportunity to share in our excitement and what better way to be a part of this historical moment in the sport than by honoring the legacy of the No. 3."
Fans can interact and receive unique content about Austin Dillon and the No. 3 race team throughout the 2014 season by visiting the "Cheer the 3" social media communities on Facebook (www.Facebook.com/Cheerthe3) and Twitter @Cheerthe3.

Phillies Manufacture A Win
Over the last several years, manufacturing runs and playing small ball has not been the Phillies forte. Predominantly a power hitting line-up, they are suffering from a major power outage with both Ryan Howard and Chase Utley on the DL. But a little small ball tonight helped them crank out some runs to beat the Mets.
In the 3rd inning, Jimmy Rollins singled and then stole both second and third bases with 2 outs in the inning. Shane Victorino doubled to drive Rollins home for their first run of the game. It was Victorino again in the 5th who singled with two outs and stole second. Placido Polanco singled to send Victorino home. Then in the 6th, Jayson Werth led off with a triple and Carlos Ruiz singled him in.
Both Werth and Victorino had a multiple hit night; 2 for Werth and 3 for Victorino. Polanco was hit by a pitch in the hand early in the game but kept playing. Nothing else was said about it so hopefully, he is fine. Although, at the time, it looked painful.
Kyle Kendrick started the game for the Phils and went 6 2/3 innings allowing just one run; it was a home run from Jose Reyes. Kendrick walked only one batter and struck out 4. His last time out, Kendrick allowed 5 runs in only 3 1/3 innings, so this was a great improvement.
With a 3-1 lead, Ryan Madson pitched the 8th without allowing a run. And then Brad Lidge, who has never blown a save against the Mets in his career, came in for the 9th. Lidge kept that streak alive by retiring the Mets in order. The Phillies are now tied for the Wild Card lead and 2 games behind the Braves in the NL East.
In injury news, it appears that Utley may be back with the team as early as Tuesday after having surgery on his thumb for a torn ligament on July 1. He is already playing in rehab games in Clearwater. If Utley does return that soon, we can officially dub him Superman. Either that, or World's Fastest Healer. Howard may also be back around the same time. That will be a huge boost for the Phillies!
The Phillies have a day off tomorrow before the Giants come to town for a 3-game series starting on Tuesday. If all goes according to plan, I should be at all three games. As usual, I shall return with photos :O)

The Phillies are having a power outtage too? I thought it was only the Yankees who forgot how to hit!
I look forward to the pics… Lincecum, Zito, Wilson, there's enough bad hair there to do a dramatic pictorial essay. Hope Utley comes back soon. Y'all are gonna need him.

Three men who were angry after being cut off at a swanky hotel bar allegedly turned on a water value in a stairwell, causing $700,000 in damages.
CBS Chicago reports that Carl Koenemann, Benjamin Nitch and Daniel Maradei came to the Chicago Trump Tower bar to drink, but were only served one beverage each because they appeared to the staff to be intoxicated. Assistant State's Attorney Erin Antonietti said the men were seen going into the fire exit stairwell, where they allegedly turned on a water valve, leaving hundreds of thousands of gallons of water to flood into the hotel before engineers could shut the value off.
The men then exited Trump Tower, but police were able to identify them by studying security video and tracing purchases made from a credit card one of the men had used at the bar earlier that night.
The water caused extensive damage to two elevators and some marble flooring, estimated at around $700,000.
Prosecutors say that the men initially pointed the finger at each other after being arrested, but that Nitch finally admitted to turning on the valve. Bond for the Koenemann and Nitch was set at $100,000. If released on bail, they will be placed on electronic monitoring.

World War I records
Jump to: Service records Medal records Other records
Because of the sheer number of young men involved, World War I affected just about every family in the UK. Huge numbers of records are available to help you discover your ancestors who fought for their country in 'the war to end all wars'.
The most comprehensive WWI records are service records. These bring together various documents created throughout each soldier's military career. They generally include recruitment forms with personal details like height and hair colour; career sheets showing regiments, ranks and key dates; and casualty forms revealing any injuries.
We have two collections of WWI service records on our site. The first, simply called WWI Service Records, 1914–1920, covers soldiers who were killed, plus those who remained in service until the end of the War. Some of these records were destroyed by bombing during WWII – long before we started scanning them. However, our collection still includes more than 2 million war heroes, and is usually the best place to start your search.
Our second collection of service records is called WWI Pension Records, 1914-1920. This includes soldiers who were discharged during the war, usually because they were injured. Its name comes from the fact the Pension Office used the documents to work out what each man was entitled to after the war. This collection covers another 900,000 of our bravest ancestors – if you can't find your man in the first Service Records, try here next.
Searching service records if often easier than looking in other military collections. They usually include details like addresses and birthplaces, so it's possible to distinguish between two soldiers with the same name. Once you've found your relative, make sure you write down his regimental number, which appears at the top of many of the forms – this will help you spot the same man in other records.
Just about everybody who fought in WWI was entitled to at least one medal – and often they earned three or four. Each award was given in specific circumstances, either for service at particular places and times, or for particular acts of bravery. Find out which medals your ancestors gained, and they'll give you crucial clues about their time at war.
Our most important collection of medal records is WWI Medal Rolls Index Cards, 1914-1920. These cards were used to record what medals each soldier was entitled to. With more than 5 million men covered, the index is a virtual roll call of the entire British Army during the war. You'll find many soldiers with the same names, so this is where the regimental number comes in handy.
We also have collections dedicated to particular medals. Silver War Badge Records, 1914–1920, lists everybody who was honourably discharged with illness or injury – they wore the Badge at home to avoid being accused of shirking their duty. Citations of the Distinguished Conduct Medal, 1914-1920, reveals the brave men who earned one of the Armed Forces' most illustrious awards. And if your relatives served at sea, Navy Medal and Award Rolls, 1793-1972, reveals sailors' WWI decorations.
Most our other Great War records cover the millions of courageous soldiers who were lost in the fighting. De Ruvigny's Roll of Honour, 1914-1924, is the largest of our casualty lists, with biographies of over 26,000 men from all three Armed Forces, often with photographs. British Commonwealth War Graves Registers, 1914-1918, meanwhile, gives you the chance to find out where your relatives are buried, covering around 250 cemeteries.
These more advanced collections help you fill in the gaps, once you've pieced together a timeline of your relative's military career using service and medal records. See a full list on our military records page.

text: My son is 5 weeks old & I'm finally getting over sore nipples, but now it seems that my nipples are okay & the areolas are really sore. It feels like my son is sucking harder than before, but it may just be that I'm more sensitive. Does anyone have any suggestions about what may be causing this & what to do? I'm generally sore the whole time he's nursing & afterwards. I don't know if it's related to any of these things, but he has a cold, we started giving him a pacifier about a week ago, & we started doing 1 feed a day by bottle (Breastflow) a couple days ago. His latch seems to be okay to me, but I'm no expert. Any advice would be appreciated!

It's been another week of circumstances which scream corruption. First, Lois Lerner was back to testify or actually recite the Fifth Amendment on the IRS scandal.
When the show was over and meeting closed, Rep. Elijah Cummings pitched a fit because he wanted to ask some questions. When Rep. Darrell Issa turned the microphones back on, Cummings actually had no questions for the witness. He simply wanted to make a statement about the proceedings.
Lancaster County Council voted 5-2 on March 10 to approve first reading of Mattamy Homes' proposal to build a large housing development on the TreeTops property in Van Wyck.
The puzzling thing is that during the discussion they showed quite conclusively that they understood all the arguments against this use of the property and then voted 5-2 that they don't care.
The question is: Why don't they care?
I loved some things about prom when I was a principal early in my career.
I loved seeing how hard juniors and their teacher sponsors worked to transform a plain banquet hall into a magical, glittering place.
I loved watching the limos pull up, full of students so excited about a night they'd been looking forward to for years.
I loved seeing the boys decked out in their tuxes and the girls in fairy-tale gowns.
I would like to share some ideas for Lancaster County Council members to consider. The biggest problem facing the county is the lack of jobs. Lancaster continues to be at the top of the list for unemployment. There are some things council can do to become an attractive place for a business to open or relocate.
It is Sunshine Week. No, don't break out the SPF 70 sunscreen...this week is about shining light on government activities.
Lest we forget, letting the sun shine on government actions and records is vital to our free democratic system of government.
While efforts to improve government transparency in our Legislature have stalled for the last two years, there are those in the Palmetto State still fighting the good fight for more sunshine.
First let's recognize the journalists.
S.C. Press Association
The S.C. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) makes records and meetings of public bodies open and available to citizens and their representatives in the press.
As a citizen of South Carolina, you have the right to attend meetings of commissions, councils, boards and other public bodies. You have a right to see and copy records of public bodies. The FOIA – also known as the Sunshine Law because it shines light on government meetings and records – is essential to our democratic form of government.
Who, what is covered?
It happens in every county, every small town and every school district. It happens at the state level and at the federal level.
"Watchdogs" monitor the actions of government. They attend meetings. They write letters. They ask the tough questions. They request public records under the Freedom of Information Act. Sometimes, they sound the alarm when they believe tax dollars have been wasted or politicians have misused their power.
You may have seen them sleeping in abandoned homes or warehouses. Some have been spotted in tents in Lancaster County's woods or fields. But no one is sure how many are living out there.
A group that calls themselves the Lancaster County Homelessness Task Force hopes to shed some light on the population with a count in Lancaster County.
As we begin ramping up for another election cycle, I hope our local and regional news editors will ensure that our community is informed on the changing characteristics of national and regional government.
Since most of us made our youthful visit to the voting booth, there has been a tremendous change in the dynamics of elected public service.
A few months ago, some of my colleagues and I were discussing a bill recently introduced in the General Assembly, and someone remarked: "Wonder what the founders would think of that" The more we thought about it, the more it seemed like an entirely relevant question to ask of any bill.

February 20, 2013 —
The Shohola Township Board of Supervisors is considering cutting ties with its ambulance provider, Pike County Advanced Life Support (ALS), due to "problems at scenes." The news came as a shock to the ambulance service.
"I had no inkling of any problems," Pike ALS representative Kyle Wright told supervisors at the February 14 meeting.
Township solicitor Jason Ohliger said, "There was one very troubling issue that should never have happened." Neither he nor the supervisors elaborated on the problems they said had occurred.
Wright was taken aback by the news. "If there were any problems, I would have done something…. It's kind of a shock to us. I feel blindsided by this," he told the board.
The supervisors said they were notified of the incidents by credible Shohola firefighters.
"I'm very saddened by this," Wright said, noting that his organization has worked with the township for about 10 years and has cut emergency response times "at least in half."
At one point, board chairman George Fluhr said, "In my opinion, we have to make a change." The board, however, eventually decided to table the matter for a month in order to gain more information.
If the township does decide to go with another provider, it would be Atlantic Ambulance, which has been operating in Pike County since 2011 and is a competitor of Pike ALS.
Contacted after the meeting, Wright said, "We are hopeful that we can remain the provider." He also reiterated that this was the first he was hearing of any problems.
"I'm hoping that within the next week we can get a bulleted list [of the alleged problems] and we can answer them," Wright said.
In other business, the supervisors received a letter from Westfall Township urging support for a proposed county-wide sales tax. The letter also was sent to PA State Senator Lisa Baker and Representative Michael Peifer, as well as other municipalities and the county commissioners.
The Shohola supervisors said the tax would be a burden and detriment to residents. "We're not going to support sales taxes or income taxes," said supervisor Keith Raser.
Ohliger also noted there is no guarantee that a county-wide sales tax would benefit Shohola.
Fluhr said the township will send a letter to Westfall saying Shohola is against the proposition.
In another matter, Aaron Robinson, a member of the township planning commission, told supervisors that Route 434 is experiencing increased truck traffic due to the weight limit placed on the bridge that spans the Upper Delaware River in Narrowsburg, NY. The limit for a single vehicle is now 15 tons, and the limit for a combination vehicle such as a tractor-trailer is 27 tons.
The increased truck traffic is a concern because Route 434 is a main artery and is in "deplorable condition," Robinson said.
Fluhr agreed, saying, "[Route] 434 is disintegrating as we speak."
The supervisors agreed to send letters to PennDOT and other organizations.

Alaskan Malamute Physical Characteristics
The Alaskan Malamute is a large, Wolf-like Dog, but despite it's appearance, the Alaskan Malamute is not a hybrid of a Wolf but did in fact originate from other domestic breeds. They have a broad, and heavily boned body that adds to this Dog's sheer strength, which is slightly longer in length than it is high. The Alaskan Malamute has a thick, double-coat of fur, which like other northern domestic breeds, acts as a water-resistant layer, keeping the Alaskan Malamute's skin both warm and dry. Due to a wide dispersion of this breed today, the Alaskan Malamute can be found in colours ranging from black to grey to red, but all have similar distinctive white markings. They have a heavy, pointed head and ears that stand straight up on the top of their head. The tail of the Alaskan Malamute is distinctively curved upwards with slightly feathered fur.
Alaskan Malamute Behaviour and Temperament
The Alaskan Malamute is an intelligent breed of Dog and can become easily bored if it has little mental or physical stimulation. They were originally bred by the Innuit people as strong, yet gentle sled Dogs, that could easily pull heavy loads at a steady speed as well as being able to handle the uncompromising Arctic conditions. The Alaskan Malamute is affectionate, friendly and loyal, and completely devoted to it's owner, providing that they assert themselves as the leader of the pack. Alaskan Malamutes are known to get on well with children and other animals, but will generally show dominance over other Dog breeds. They are known to be a bit slow during training, but once they pick it up, they are able to perform tasks capably.
Alaskan Malamute Breeding
The Alaskan Malamute is an old breed of working Dog, that arose from the migrations of people between Asia and the Arctic, and then back again. These trips went on for thousands of years, leading to a wide variety in the breed between different areas (for example, those Dogs found in Greenland are said to have shorter fur than those found near the Canadian lakes). Other variations were also created with the introduction of other large working Dogs into the Arctic Circle during the Gold Rush. The Dogs bred with the native Alaskan Malamutes leading to an even wider variety found in the breed today, with the purest Malamutes found around their original region which is almost completely isolated from the rest of the world.
Alaskan Malamute Interesting Facts and Features
The Malamute is generally slower in long-distance sled racing against smaller and faster breeds as their working usefulness is limited to travelling over long distances but at a far slower rate than that required for racing. The Malamute is one of the most unaltered of breeds, retaining its original form and function. Their affectionate nature does not make them useful as watch or guard Dogs. If a Dog owner cannot cope with a Dog that will not comply with the owner's every command, a more compliant breed should be selected. They are however, pure pack animals as this breed has a long genetic foundation of living in the wilderness with man, surrounded by other domesticated animals of approximately the same size.

Can you describe racing on the high banks of Bristol Motor Speedway?
"You're constantly in the corner and it's a physically demanding track that has the ability to frustrate you. The outside line is the preferred line which is the nature of the beast. It's really hard to pass someone on the outside since you're already up high, so you have to make the bottom work in order to pass. That's the magic of the track, you'll need to make the bottom work to pass and get to the front and win the race."

What do you think about Bristol Motor Speedway?
"I love Bristol Motor Speedway. The track is really challenging and Tennessee race fans are some of the most passionate and most fun to be around in all of NASCAR. I've been fortunate enough to race near Bristol Motor Speedway a lot in my Dirt Late Model at Volunteer Speedway in Bulls Gap, Tenn., and it's really cool when those dirt fans come out to Bristol to watch the NASCAR races."

You're running both the Sprint Cup and Nationwide races at Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend. What things do you think you'll learn in the Nationwide car that you can relate to the Sprint Cup car?
"You don't really learn much, because the throttle and cars are so different. The biggest thing for me is seat time, because it's a rhythm race track. There are some things you can take back such as a tire issue or something that pops up with the track itself, you can use that information between series, but for me it's just really about the extra seat time."

Held to a higher standard
Public officials, whether they like it or not – and many don't – are held to a higher ethical standard due to their position of trust than the general population.
This week I have had several telephone calls asking why the newspaper wrote an article about a Vienna councilman being charged by a Wood County sheriff's deputy with aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol.
According to the affidavit filed in magistrate court, the long-serving councilman was seen, while driving, weaving on the road and had a strong odor of alcohol when the deputy made the traffic stop along West Virginia 14 near Boaz.
With a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.163, the councilman was far over the legal limit of 0.08, hence the aggravated DUI charge.
Most of the callers questioned why the councilman's DUI was treated differently than the far too many other DUIs that appear in the arrest reports and magistrate court reports.
Interestingly, though, on a recent weekday there was a lengthy story with photographs of several people who had been arrested in one weekend for DUI, including one person who had been arrested twice in the same evening. It was termed by law enforcement as the most DUI arrests in one weekend. The incident was a story because of the oddity of that many DUI arrests in one weekend and the woman being arrested twice within one night.
The arrest of a city councilman for drunken driving is news above and beyond arrest or magistrate court listing because council members are public officials elected to represent their constituents and by common practice are held by the public to that higher ethical standard when they choose to run for office.
The same ethical standard applies to all elected officials and some appointed officials, such as police officers, school administrators and, yes, newspaper editors.
It goes without saying if the Vienna councilman had been a Williamstown, Belpre or Parkersburg councilman or the mayor of any of those towns, there would have been a like story written.
On a weekly basis I get telephone calls asking for the caller's arrest to be kept out of the newspaper. A variety of reasons are given why the arrest should be omitted, ranging from public embarrassment, to loss of job, to it causing the death of an ill relative. My response always is the same: It isn't fair or ethical to print some arrests and not all arrests and the caller should have thought about the consequences before committing the offense.

Graffiti in downtown Parkersburg has gotten out of hand.
As one looks around the downtown area, countless buildings, street signs, postal boxes, utility boxes, signs, sidewalks, and walls are tagged with spray-painted symbols, words and images, many of which are vulgar and/or profane.
Many downtown businesses have been forced to clean up the graffiti on nearly a weekly basis, while public street signs, postal boxes, utility boxes, sidewalks, etc. are left with the graffiti.
Granted, such conduct is low-level criminal activity and police certainly have more to do that spend an exceeding amount of time attempting to catch graffiti painters. But, the fact remains the abundance of graffiti, broken windows and broken into boarded up buildings is beyond merely being a nuisance … it is an epidemic that makes the town appear like a slum.
It is time for the city and law enforcement to concentrate on catching some of the spray-paint bums and for the courts to sentence them to community service cleaning up their disgusting messes.

I've been doing this for 3 months, so I *know* how hard it is to keep going when you don't even want to look at the pump again.
Did you know that you can leave the whole pump setup out for six hours without cleaning it? Just pump on top of it. Breastmilk is really strong stuff, and everything does *not* need to be cleaned every time- I don't even do it every six hours.
And by all means, try to get him on the breast. Just casually start offering it. Bottlefeed with your shirt off.
Keep your goals short. Tell yourself "ok he's six weeks, if I can make it to two months. . ." I had to do that. I had a complete meltdown over breastfeeding and had to tell myself "ok tuesday he will be 4 months, I NEED to make it to tuesday. . ." and now he is almost 5 month!
You are in a great place with lots of support. Wish I could type more now, but I'm being summoned! lol. Good luck!

Changing the blade
When the blade and the anvil-blade no longer cross, or when the blade is badly damaged, it is advisable to change it. Regulate the working of the blade and anvil-blade by adjusting the tightening of the nut. The blade should rub against the anvil-blade over 2/3 of its length.
Changing the anvil-blade
When the blade and anvil-blade no longer cross and the anvil-blade is badly damaged, it is advisable to change it.
