Ask a horticulturist about the use of quaking aspens (Populus tremuloides) in the home landscape and the advice you likely will hear is "OK, but...."
Forty years ago, aspen was seldom used in home landscapes. In the interim, however, the use of this tree has increased dramatically in Colorado's urban landscapes.
Aspen grows fast, lending the landscape an early finished look, and it provides an informal touch of Colorado to the suburban home or urban landscape. Aspen is a small to medium-sized tree that won't overwhelm smaller yards so typical of today's urban subdivisions. It has attractive bark, leaves tremble in the slightest breeze and the tree can develop good fall foliage color.
That's the good news. Now for a reality check: Aspen is affected by numerous insects, diseases and cultural problems. While there are plenty of good-looking aspen around the region, it also is the most common problem tree discussed in calls or samples brought to Colorado State University Cooperative Extension's Plant Diagnostic Clinic.
Ecologically, aspen serves as a "succession" tree, quickly seeding in where other vegetation was lost because of erosion, fire, logging, insects or disease. It provides cover for seedlings of pine, fir and spruce, and as these become larger, the "nurse crop" of aspen may die out.
Aspen reproduce not only by seed but also by extensive suckering. An aspen grove starts as suckers shoot off the roots of a mother tree, which arrived at the site by seed. This suckering habit can be a nuisance in the urban landscape, coming up in lawns and gardens.
Aspens are short-lived trees, as expected from their role in forest ecology. In the urban landscape, even properly cared-for aspen may not reach 20 years. Life spans can be shortened further by one or more of several insects or diseases that attack aspen. Fungal diseases, such as Cytospora or other cankers which attack the trunk, are common, as are diseases of the foliage such as rusts, or leaf spots. Of the many insects that attack urban plantings of aspen, oystershell scale, aphids and aspen twiggall fly are most prevalent.
Aspen prefers the moist but well-drained, slightly acidic soil found at higher elevations. Much of the soil in the Front Range of Colorado is compacted, poorly drained alkaline clay. Aspens transplanted to such soils are at a disadvantage, especially considering that much of the original root system was lost in the digging process.
Aspens transplanted to landscapes are collected primarily from the mountains. A few nurseries offer nursery-grown aspens,which are grown to salable sizes in pots or in the field. While these should not experience the stress that mountain-collected aspens do, later insect and disease problems still are possible.
Horticulturists and plant pathologists are hesitant to recommend aspen as a landscape tree for the Front Range. For those who insist, aspens should be planted on north or east slopes, or on north or east sides of the house, in soil well amended with organic materials and mulched after planting.
Conditions often become extremely hot and dry on south or west exposures; this would further stress aspen. Should an aspen trunk become severely affected by Cytospora or oystershell scale, the gardener should be willing to cut down that trunk and allow other sucker shoots to develop into new trees.
Another complaint about aspens in Front Range landscapes is that they do not develop as brilliant a yellow fall color as those in the mountains. Differences in soil chemistry and texture, soil moisture; day/night temperatures and sunlight intensity between the Front Range and the mountain areas all contribute to this.
Should you plant aspen? Probably not, if you have space only on south or west exposures, or if the planting site is small and narrow. Yes, if you are willing to amend soils before planting a nursery-grown aspen and will monitor the aspen for problems. Remember that your nearby nursery or garden center carries many other tree choices for the landscape.

If the phone is unauthorized, it doesn't work inside the prison walls.
Jason Clark, spokesman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, said that the managed access system is being tested at both McConnell and Stiles prison units.
"It is different from jamming," Clark said. "Jamming is prohibited by the FCC."
The Federal Communications Commission has strict rules which prohibit telephone jamming, largely to prevent any emergency and 911 calls from being blocked.
To abide by these rules and still accomplish their goals, officials had to come up with a system that would block illegal cell phones but would not jam legitimate calls made from legitimate callers.
The system is simple in concept.
Any cell phone not on an approved list cannot get a signal.
"Those that aren't approved, it essentially goes to a dead end."
Same goes for text messages and Internet access, except with these, there is an added feature.
Those are diverted to a central location and never make their intended recipient.
"It does have the ability to block emails and texts and other ways to log onto the Internet," Clark said.
The system can also identify a general location of the phone.
"The technology doesn't give you the pinpoint location, but it will give you an idea of where that cell phone is," Clark said.
These two prisons were selected as trial sites because they had the highest number of contraband phones found.
Seventy-three phones were found at McConnell last year. The prior year, 88 phones were discovered.
The agency has made considerable strides in stopping the flow of contraband cell phones into prisons in recent years. In 2009, TDCJ staff statewide seized 1,110 contraband cell phones that had made it in to the offender population. They seized 791 in 2010, 630 in 2011 and 738 in 2012.
TDCJ officials say that no single tool will completely solve the issue of contraband cell phones. "The managed access system is another means at our disposal. We will continue to look to technology, combined with our other security measures, as a way to enhance the safety and security of institutions across the state of Texas," said Brad Livingston, TDCJ executive director.
"Contraband can pose a direct threat to the safety and security of the institution," Clark said.
"I read of an instance where a South Carolina offender used a cell phone to plan a hit on a correctional officer, and he was shot at his home," Clark said.
Five years ago in Texas, a death row inmate made threatening calls to a state senator, prompting an unprecedented governor-ordered lockdown of the entire 150,000-inmate prison system to sweep for contraband.
Just recently, three local residents were named among 32 people, including 17 correctional officers from the McConnell Unit prison, indicted on federal charges that range from selling drugs within the prison to smuggling phones for gang members.
Beeville residents indicted were Stephanie Deming, 23, Lela Ysolde Hinojosa, 51, and Arturo Salas, 22. Also indicted was Jamar Tremayne Green, 29, of Refugio.
According to the indictment, on Oct. 28, 2009, Deming, while a correctional officer, accepted or agreed to accept cash from an inmate in exchange for a cell phone.
She, along with another officer, Megan Brook Morales, also were accused of possessing with the intent to distribute cocaine between September and October 2009.
This indictment also accused Hinojosa, while a correctional officer, of accepting or agreeing to accept cash twice from an inmate in exchange for a cell phone in 2009.
The indictment added that in January 2011, Salas, inmate Christopher Owens and a third unidentified person conspired to distribute marijuana. The indictment noted that Salas, as a correction officer, also provided Owens with an unidentified controlled substance.
Clark said that prison officials had been looking at testing this equipment long before the indictments were handed down.
"By deploying this technology, there will be no incentive to smuggle in a cell phone," Clark said.

Each hurricane season the National Weather Service in Hawaii prepares to keep a close watch on the tropical storm action in the Pacific Ocean.
Officials want residents to prepare in the event that a storm should hit the islands.
The last hurricane to hit the islands was Hurricane Iniki. The powerful storm knocked out power and caused damage on Kauai and Oahu.
The Garden Isle took the brunt of the force. Power was knocked out for months. The island took more than a year to recover fully from the damage and from the economic impact.
Here's a look at some of the items that residents should gather as part of a hurricane preparedness kit.

Skip to comments.Elderly voters the biggest push behind the GOP wave
Posted on 11/08/2010 8:00:40 AM PST by Racehorse
The election post-mortems keep rolling in. Politico's Byron Tau's report on the remarkable shift in voting patterns among America's oldest voters goes a long way to explain why last week's contest became such a rout for Republicans. Voters over 65, he writes, favored Republicans by a 21-point margin after breaking narrowly for Democrats in 2006, and in some key races the margin was even more lopsided:
In New Hampshire, for instance, seniors backed GOP Senate candidate Kelly Ayotte over her Democratic challenger by 33 points. In the narrow Illinois Senate contest, Republican Mark Kirk won older voters by 22 points. And In Delaware, they were the only age group to back tea party favorite Christine O'Donnell, by an 11-point margin.
"I've been saying since August 2009, that there was a tsunami in this case a senior citizen tsunami headed towards Capitol Hill," said Jim Martin, chairman of the 60 Plus Association, a conservative campaign group targeted toward older voters. "That tsunami came ashore."

Its too bad the AARP and other organizations are not on their side.
Elders generally have a great more wisdom....don't they? ;-)
Well, it shows that we're still vital. : )
The figured out that "death panels" were real in Obamacare. We truly do have Sarah Palin to thank for this easy soundbite term.
The rape of medicare is also real, so that got their attention as well.
In short, they have weighed Obamacare in the balance and found it deadly to Seniors.
The Dems 'owned' the senior vote until recently. The elderly who spent decades voting for FDR by any other name have now passed on. The "Republicans will take your Social Security" ruse Dems pulled out in every election just won't work any more.
I wouldn't say this generation of seniors are in the Republican camp so much as that they are open to voting for either party. The GOP shouldn't take them for granted now as a constituent group, as the Dems did.
Something needs to be done to inspire the young.
Tim Wise at Kos put the death panels into perspective with his diatribe, he considers death as the ultimate weapon of the Left.
One thing about old people, they weren't raised to hate America.
Well...plenty of them voted 'for' the piece of crap that now resides in the WH. I'd like to see those figures
There were 155.6 million females in the United States in 2009. The number of males was 151.4 million.
At age 85 and older, there were more than twice as many women as men. People under 20 years of age made up over a quarter of the U.S. population (27.3%),
and people age 65 and over made up one-eighth (12.8%) in 2009.
Women in the workforce since 1935 (SS created) are working & living longer than their husbands - contributed to, & now dependent on SS and Medicare. Elderly women are voting their interests and those of their grandchildren.
ironically, because older people are the among the people who get the most socialist benefits-—social security, medicare etc etc
I guess 39 and 40 year olds are elderly now... I knew I felt old when I turned 39... What a load of BULL!
I just took a look at presidential elections back to 1968 and it doesn't look that way to me, do you have some figures to support that? They usually vote Republican except for 1992,1996, and 2000.
Seniors were the most Republican age group in 2008, they voted against Obama by a wide margin.
Do you have any figures handy that you could post?
Yes, you are correct. The very fact that they voted for the most PRO-abortion (among other things) president in the history of this nation demonstrates the problem. Good Pope Benedict is well aware that many who call themselves CATHOLIC are not properly catechized and have a great need to understand how to enter into an intimate relationship with Christ and become His followers as members of the Church. That is why he is calling for a re-evangelization of Catholics within the context of highlighting the fact that we are called to evangelize. This is for the worldwide Church. He is preparing an important encyclical on this, which I look forward to with great anticipation.
There IS a renewal going on within the Church (unknown by the press) that is already beginning to turn things around (think REPENTANCE). This will grow with TIME.
Oops...I got your post confused with another one. Apologies.
"Voters over 65 favored Republicans last week by a 21-point margin after flirting with Democrats in the 2006 midterm elections and favoring John McCain by a relatively narrow 8-point margin in 2008."

Here is a chart from New York Times exit polls that makes the same point with different figures about the senior vote. In the chart it includes five years of non-seniors which lowers the percentage.
Where were they in 2008 when they could have done some real good?
Anyone still wonder about the REAL purpose of those death panels??!!
That's ok...I read it with interest. Very well written. :)
The boomers have been a fairly conservative vote all of their lives, how do you think things started moving right as the boomers moved into American life starting in the late 1980s? In 1972 the 18-29 year old vote went Republican, 52% to 46%, and today boomers range in age of 46 to 64, and we have made huge gains against liberalism in the last 20 years or more.
Seniors voted for McCain over Obama in 2008.
One can remember in the very recent past how loud and long the demand was for "turnout". We could carry the day if we could just get turnout. Turnout...turnout...turnout.
Well....it appears that after the screaming stopped, the demanding fell off, the fires in the hair were put out...that the voter turnout for this mid-term election was only marginally (very marginally) higher than for the 2006 midterms (40.5% vs 41.5%).
One can only imagine the results had the turnout been 50% or higher. The blacks stayed away from the polls as did the youth. The old folk turned out (as they usually do) as did the white middle-age folk.
But not in high enough percentages to provide the margin of victory. It's at least a very good guess that if the turnout (much ballyhooed, much vaunted) had been just 6% or 7% higher, the results would have been truly astounding.
To be sure, it was a victory...historical, even.
But with sound senatorial candidates in NV, DE, and CO (to name a few) and a 7% higher voter turnout...the results would have been truly breathtaking!!
Not by a huge margin.
I must have run afoul of a nest of stupid ones, then, because around here folks my age are still in shock over the Republicans taking the House and worried that their favorite arts and bullcrap programs will be cut.
Thanks for the info, though, it's refreshing to hear.
Seniors voted for McCain over Obama in 2008.
How the hell do any of these people know how seinors voted?
I sure as hell don't answer any stinking surveys!
"The boomers have been a fairly conservative vote all of their lives"
You're full of shit!!!
"The boomers have been a fairly conservative vote all of their lives"
You're full of shit!!!
I agree. I think the 50+ generation may be the last truly patriotic generation.... the generation that sees Communism and Socialism for what they are. The government run schools have done a fine job of brainwashing the next generations. Thank God my kids listen to me and not the schools. All 3 are solid conservatives and vote a straight R ticket. Unfortunately, most kids don't.
This is what is happening:
You got it. I truly believe 50 years after we are all gone, this country will be controlled by Communists or Islam.
Is this why AARP came out the other day saying it made a mistake in supporting Obamacare?
You are evidently not only ignorant, but a nasty little fool as well, that wasn't a post you made, but an idiots childish outburst.
my precinct is in a senior housing complex of over 800 homes and it is 80% democrat!
I'm a proud to be a nasty old bastard!!
Go shove it where the sun doesn't shine you usless babyboomers!
This is the group that Tim Wise & Co wishes were dead.
Another childish outburst, we aren't responsible for you choosing to live with liberals, but I doubt that it is true anyway, you don't have anything but your own imagination to base your claims on about your 800 home Senior community being 80% Democrat do you, and I don't know what that has to do with boomers anyway.
The voting rolls are public and posted at the poling place for anyone to look at plus the results are posted after the election.
as far as baby boomers, I hate the lazy dope smoking bastards!
Judging by your angry, and nasty outbursts on this thread, I don't think anyone has any problem believing you have feelings of hatred, too bad you don't have any numbers showing why the group of senior voters that you chose to live with are so unusual, and don't vote Republican like most seniors do.
like the AARP cares who old people vote for, as long as they get the money and spend it to support Democrats.
Same with unions and union members.
I'm sure you are right ... I was basing my comment on coverage in the news, which focuses on the retires in FL.
Well said, and you're right. The credit goes to Sarah Palin.
Her words: "Obama's death panels."

Gov. Walker issues warrant in homicide case
A spokesman for Washington Gov. Chris Gregorie says Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has asked her to return a prisoner wanted for killing his half-brother to Wisconsin.
Dane County prosecutors have charged Jeffrey Vogelsberg with killing Matthew Graville in their Mazomanie home in July. Authorities arrested Vogelsberg last month in Washington state. He had moved there to be with his wife, who is stationed at a military base near Tacoma.
Vogelsberg has refused to waive extradition to Wisconsin. Gregoire spokesman Jason Kelly says Walker has sent her a rendition warrant, which is essentially a request for Gregoire to ship Vogelsberg to this state.
Kelly says the paperwork is on its way to Gregoire's office and she has never denied such a request. A Walker spokeswoman didn't immediately return a message.

It's been more than a year and a half since a tornado ripped through La Crosse uprooting trees, tearing off roofs and knocking out power to thousands.
While much of the damage has been repaired, a staple in the La Crosse community chose to start a new chapter in the company's history after the storm.
Bakalars Sausage Company in La Crosse said it made much more sense to just build a brand-new building than to make repairs to the old one.
Construction on its new facility is about halfway done.
While employees say it's an exciting time for the company, it's still hard to leave a place they've called home for so long.
As a third-generation family business, the building on South Avenue in La Crosse has a special meaning to the Bakalars Sausage Company's president, Mike Bakalars.
"I started in 1990, so I've only known this building," said Bakalars. "So it's a lot like home to me."
But in May of last year, a tornado tore the roof from the company's building and caused severe structural damage, a devastating blow to the employees, including Bakalars's general manager, Pete Clements who has worked in just about every aspect of the company in his more than 40 years with the business.
"It was actually a heart-shattering blow," said Clements. "I actually cried in the parking lot. A lot of emotions, I've been here a long time."
Bakalars was faced with a tough decision: shut down the business for six months to make repairs, or start anew.
"The cost of repairs versus the cost of building a new, it just made a lot more sense to move than to try and repair this facility as a food manufacturing plant," said Bakalars.
Plans and details were drafted and construction on a new building started in La Crosse's Industrial Park last September.
The biggest change will be the production layout -- going from operating out of the current two-story building to a more spacious one-floor facility.
Bakalars said that will help increase production and efficiency.
"We'll be ready to meet the challenges that come at us so it's an exciting time for us," said Bakalars. "It really is."
With just a few months until the big move, getting ready to say goodbye to the building the company has called home since the 1960s is growing closer.
"Without a doubt," said Bakalars. "Bearing down on us like a freight train."
But they know the move is just a small step for big things to come in the company's future.
"We've made the best of a bad situation and our company is going to come out a lot stronger in the end, and we'll be a better company moving forward," said Bakalars.
The company is currently able to produce about 50,000 pounds of sausage products a week.
Bakalars said the new facility has potential to increase production and efficient to produce three times as much.
If everything goes as planned, the company should be moving into its new facility by mid-April.
They figure production will probably slow down for about 10 days during the move, but customers shouldn't be affected.
The current building is up for sale.

Prism schedules Coming Out Week activities
West Virginia Wesleyan College is celebrating Coming Out Week, Oct 6-11. Prism, the college's Queer-Straight alliance, is hosting Coming Out Week for the first time in campus history.
Ali Roberts, president of Prism, described the focus of the week's events.
"Aside from festive events such as Tie-Dye for the Covenant House, Second Chance Prom and Coming Out Day, Coming Out Week seeks to raise awareness of issues surrounding the LGBTQ community including homelessness, suicide and discrimination."
The week will coincide with National Coming Out Week and will feature six days of events to celebrate what coming out means to LGBTQ people and their allies in our campus community. The week will begin with an interfaith chapel service at 11 a.m. on Sunday morning in Wesley Chapel and an address from Bishop Donogrant McCluney entitled "The Spirituality of Homosexuality" on Monday evening at 7 p.m. in the Meditation Chapel.
The week's events will culminate in Coming Out Day, where the campus community can participate in coming out on the Chapel lawn by sharing something about themselves that might not be common knowledge.
Prism is a student organization that welcomes the involvement of any and all campus members who are committed to social and legal justice for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, asexual, intersex and queer people everywhere. Though the organization has existed in multiple forms for the past several years, the organization's current name reflects a desire to be more inclusive than the former designation as a gay-straight alliance allowed. For Prism, the week is a public statement that as a community, "We can stand together, championing the idea that every citizen, every parishioner and every child deserves equal love, protection and opportunities."
For more information on Coming Out Week, contact Jess Scott, instructor of interdisciplinary studies, at email@example.com.

Hi ladies, I've been battling plugs and blebs since January. http://forums.llli.org:80/showthread...imama+swelling
I developed this painful and swollen piece on my one nipple. It's really painful and has been for close to a month. I finally went to the ob, while I still have insurance, and she did an exam and said she was surprised not to find a mass. She was expecting to send me for more images, but in the absence of any mass - she really didn't know what to make of it. So she gave me clobetasol ointment (a steroid) and suggested ice and Advil for the swelling. She said I may just always have this while I'm nursing?!?
She did, however, give me high praise for nursing to and past one.
Anyway, what do you think of this?

PwC supports changes to the audit report and auditor's responsibilities for other information that are responsive to user feedback yet maintain or improve audit quality.
PwC submitted a comment letter on the PCAOB's proposed auditor reporting and other information standards. PwC commends the PCAOB for this significant step forward to increase the informational value of the auditor's report, and suggests changes to help reduce unintended consequences and costs while preserving the proposals' benefits.
PwC supports the introduction of a new section in the auditor's report describing critical audit matters (CAM). To avoid the auditor communicating original information about the entity, PwC recommends that CAM be required to be matters that are material to the financial statements and that the auditor's communication about CAM should not disclose information about the entity that is not required to be disclosed by management.
PwC also recommends changes to the proposed other information standard to differentiate the work performed on material other information directly related to the audited financial statements from that performed on nonfinancial information, and to include statements in the audit report describing the limited procedures performed and the auditor's responsibility to describe any inconsistency or material misstatement of fact of which the auditor is aware that has not been appropriately revised.
PwC does not believe auditor tenure should be included in the audit report but does not object to voluntary disclosure of tenure elsewhere by audit committees or management where proper context can be provided.

Sources of Fish For Stocking
Where to Buy Fish For Stocking
There are two primary ways to get fish for stocking your pond or lake. Fish are available for purchase from DNR hatcheries and fish are available from private suppliers. Find information about each below. PLEASE NOTE: Grass carp must be purchased from properly licensed suppliers only. Find information about grass carp suppliers by following the link on the right.
Fish From Private Suppliers
Fish for pond stocking are also available from private fish suppliers. List of registered fish dealers (Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader). Dealers are listed alphabetically by county.
Fish From DNR Hatcheries
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division (WRD), Fisheries Management Section annually provides largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, and channel catfish from seven state fish hatcheries to stock new or renovated private ponds. Due in part to the slow economy and budget shortfalls that the State of Georgia is experiencing, WRD has been directed to charge a nominal fee in order to continue this service. Beginning in the fall of 2003, private pond owners receiving fish from state hatcheries were required to pay this fee. NOTE: fees and application forms have changed as of April 2006. The revised forms are available on this website at the links below and at Fisheries offices statewide.
You can download the appropriate Pond Stocking Application by selecting the county your pond is located in below (Adobe Acrobat Reader required). Provide all information requested and mail the completed application to the Fisheries Section Office provided on the application. Do not include payment with your application! You will be contacted later by WRD with information about when to pick up your fish and how much they will cost. Payment is to be made when you pick up your fish with a check written to Georgia DNR. Cash will not be accepted.

- Abstract
- A mathematical framework is presented for use in the experimental determination of the polarimetric response of observatory instrumentation. Elementary principles of linear algebra are applied to model the full matrix description of the polarization measurement equation by least-squares estimation of nonlinear, scalar parameters. The formalism is applied to calibrate the center element of the Parkes Multibeam receiver using observations of the millisecond pulsar PSR J0437-4715 and the radio galaxy 3C 218 (Hydra A).

When do you normally begin to give a baby water to drink? I read somewhere about letting them have it in a sippy cup at 6months when they are learning to eat, but am not sure about that...
When do you normally begin to give a baby water to drink? I read somewhere about letting them have it in a sippy cup at 6months when they are learning to eat, but am not sure about that...
here is some info. i started giving her a little water in a sippy at 6 months, she didn't really start drinking it until about 8-9 months and now only drinks a few oz a day. HTH
DD (7/23/08) self weaned at 17 months
DS (6/20/10) nursing like a champ
I've been researching this too, and have found that yes they should start learning to take water in a cup starting around 6 months, but breastmilk should be the only thing to quench thirst still, you wouldn't want your LO to fill up on water! Its just for fun at that point until they learn to eat solids and need a little bit with their food.
Kellymom.com is a great website, and its a coicidence your username is kellynewmom!
Here is the link for info on water. HTH!

Sorry for the short responses...always, always, always NAK or holding a baby
I wanted to bump this thread because I recently started giving my 9.5 year old water in a cup to wash down the chunky rice cereal at feedings. Uhm, he's in LOVE with water. Other than filling up on it, is there any harm in the amount given? I'm not going to give him cupfuls each day but should I just steer clear of offering water daily since it seems like he could drink cupfuls if offered? He was EB up until 4 days ago. He is now drinking water from a cup on his own.
My girl loves water too. It seems like she's drinking a ton, but it probably only amounts to an ounce or so at a time. I like to give it to her when she's eating solids so she doesn't get constipated.
Maybe you could give him your milk in a cup if you're worried about him drinking too much? I don't think there's any harm in a few ounces a day at 9.5 months old.
I don't think there is any harm at all. IMHO I think it's great for LOs to get to love the taste of water. I started all my kids out around 6 mo and now my 15 yo and my 11 yo both drink lots especially compared with other kids their age who seem to prefer milk or juice or soda.
I even have a friend who says water "tastes nasty" and has to force herself to drink it. She's 35 with high blood pressure and chronic pain problems.
So, the fact that you LO loves water is wonderful!
I'd just be sure to limit the amount at this age still. BM should still be the mainstay of their diet until one year. And too much water can be toxic if it throws off electrolyte balance. I think I stayed at offering about 3oz a day until my kids were over one year.

Thanks you guys!!
This has been helpful, I'm trying to get my LO to drink a tiny bit to get used to the taste. We tried in a sippy cup and a regular cup, but she seems to "choke" on it a bit, even the smallest amount, I'm sure it's just having to get used to it, but she does seem to enjoy it none the less!
I've heard that if you let them experiment drinking water out of a straw, then they'll eventually get the hang of it. Seems it would make spills less likely. Anyone used a straw?

November 14, 1995
Release # 96-019
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), FAO Schwarz of New York, N.Y., is recalling approximately 1,000 children's "Sewing Boards." Young children may strangle on the removable string.The wooden sewing boards, measuring 7.5" in diameter and .25" thick, were sold in three styles: fish, cars, and beach balls. The designs are painted on the board in combinations of yellow, red, white, green, blue and black. The toys are packaged with a string, measuring at least 42" long, which can be woven through holes along the edge of the sewing board. FAO Schwarz stores nationwide sold the sewing boards for $12.00 from 1992 through November 8, 1995. The sewing boards were shrink-wrapped in clear plastic with a red and white paper card that reads in part, "Goula...Made in Spain..." Some of the cards mistakenly stated that the toy is appropriate for children one year old and above. The toy is only appropriate for children over three years of age. Consumers with young children who purchased the sewing board should stop using it immediately and return it to any FAO Schwarz for a full refund. For more information, consumers should contact FAO Schwarz at (800) 400-4326.FAO Schwarz is not aware of any injuries or complaints regarding the sewing boards.

Proposed sole assessor law back on the table in Delaware
April 19, 2012 —
HORTONVILLE, NY - At a meeting of the Delaware Town Board on April 18, it was decided to propose a law that would move from the current system of three elected tax assessors to a sole assessor appointed by the board.
The move was recommended by a committee that had been set up to study the issue. As reported by Ed Sykes, a member of the committee and also the town superintendent, the committee both proposed that the town pass the law, and that it be passed as a special law not subject to referendum.
The matter has been put up for referendum several times before, but always voted down.
During the public discussion, some approved of the idea of having a single assessor but objected to having them appointed rather than elected. Others, including board member Harold Roeder, supported the idea of the single appointed assessor, but objected to the idea that the law would not be subject to referendum.
A public hearing on the matter has been scheduled for Monday, May 14 at 7 p.m. at the town hall in Hortonville.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

A bit ago, I did a project for Mom It Forward that started my latest obsession of Mod Podge, decoupaging anything and everything. For the lazy crafter like myself, Mod Podge is perfect. It's very forgiving and allows for a few mistakes.
Mod Podge
I featured Melody Ross a while ago. Love her! She's one of those natural artists inside and out. When I saw her idea of the Mod Podge decoupaged fancy trash can, I tucked it away knowing I wanted to use that idea for inspiration for my own craft room trash can.
Decoupage Ideas
I went to one of my local fabric stores and found a bunch of fat quarters I loved, brought them home and cut them in different shapes. Now a normal person would have went back to look at Melody's trash can to see what to do, but not me. I used the inspiration that was planted there a few months ago. ( I should have looked, but too late now) Her's is still way cooler than mine, but I love it anyway. It reminds me of Melody and my new love of everything decoupage!
It's not perfect, but it's perfect for me and it's perfect for my room. A little messy, a little whimsical and happy colors.
Here's a peek at the mess I created while making my master piece.
I love how it matches my rug.
I've got my vintage maps out again today and my mod podge……..because I never know when to quit when I like something. You can see the table top I decoupaged with my old maps.
