Smucker's Natural is a great choice, those pure ingredients you can't beat those.
As for sauces, I wouldn't be too sure where to go for that. Never used it for my food, most of my reasoning for food is for fuel, I've ignore my taste buds for a long time.
The salmon's fat is in a layer just under the skin, so after you cook it, the skin is going to be soaked with EFA's including omega-3's which are abundant in salmon.
This may be of some guidance about salmon in general at least :
Do not eat Shark, Swordfish, King Mackerel, or Tilefish because they contain high levels of mercury.
Eat up to 12 ounces (2 average meals) a week of a variety of fish and shellfish that are lower in mercury.
Five of the most commonly eaten fish that are low in mercury are shrimp, canned light tuna, salmon, pollock, and catfish.
You can give up the orange juice.
Get some almond milk, some whey protein and give yourself a serving after the work out.
Before the workout, try whey protein with powerrade zero. It enhances your performance and the results are great.
Heres something interesting to ponder: I read that our teeth and digestive systems are specifically designed for fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds. I guess you gotta learn from the gorillas and chimpanzees who are 10 times as more flexible and stronger as the meat eaters of today's societies. Is Fruit, Veggies, nuts and seeds the way to eat? No meat, eggs, milk? I am not confirming my beliefs, merely just opening a discussion to mindful individuals.

I tried looking up info but alls I could find is peoples trying to sell them. any info... I mean I no what its for but any additional info is greatLincolnGenghis posted:5/24/2013 11:48:07 PM I think what you mean is last rites. That term last rites itself is not used much any more either though. The popular misconception about the so called last rites is that it was only given right before death. Thats just not really the case. more often refered to now days as described below. " Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick, which is administered both to the dying and to those who are gravely ill or are about to undergo a serious operation, for the recovery of their health and for spiritual strength." I don't know depending on what faith you are maybe you want to keep it. For more information you will probably find allot more on it if you search on last rites boxes.jasmi posted:5/25/2013 7:46:00 PM My husband's family had one. It was a crucifix, about 10" long, and you cold slide the top up (the part where Jesus' body is) and inside were 2 votive candles (one where each hand of Christ was). It also contained a vial of holy water. It was for administering Last Rights. Please log in or become a member to add a post.

March 15, 2011 —
Voters who live in the Sullivan West School District will have the opportunity on March 22 to vote to approve or reject a $5 million spending plan for the construction and improvement of numerous projects, including baseball, football and soccer fields and tennis courts at the high school in Lake Huntington.
Most of the money will come from the $4.1 million the district received as part of a legal settlement reached in the fall of 2010. Because of legal battles related to construction of the school, the sports fields, and other issues that would have otherwise been addressed, such as drainage at the school and the completion of the parking lot, were put off.
Now, the school board wants to move forward with what supporters call the "completion" of the school. But, asking voters to spend that much money when the district is facing the loss of three or four staff positions next year because of a tight budget might seem irresponsible.
But Dr. Ken Hilton, the superintendent, said the $5 million is in a capital reserve fund, and therefore cannot legally be used to save the positions. He said the money in the fund can only be used for capital projects or must remain in the fund for the next eight years, because that is what voters approved in a previous referendum. Additionally, the proposed projects would require no new taxes or new borrowing.
Mary Scheutzow, president of the school board, said building the fields is a matter of "fulfilling a promise." Speaking not for the board but for herself at a meeting with reporters in Hilton's office on March 11, and referring to the tough economic times, she said, "I think we all have hopes that we will work our way out of this eventually and, when that happens, we want to make sure that our programs and our facilities, too, are in the best possible shape to attract people to this community."
She said to attract new homes and possibly light industry at some point in the future, "You have to sell the community, you have to sell the school" as being able to handle a growing community.
Board member Brian Grady, who was also on hand, echoed that sentiment. "I grew up in the suburbs in New Jersey and I don't remember seeing a school without a baseball field or a football field. I owned my house in Narrowsburg for 18 years before I moved up here full time, and part of the reason I saw it as an option was because that high school was built."
Apart from the sports fields, other capital projects in the spending plan include remediation of the air circulation system, the construction of storm water retention ponds, repairs to the slate roof of the Jeffersonville School and the installation of solar panels at the high school.
If the public votes to approve the funds, construction of the sports fields will take place in 2012.
Hilton said if the public votes against the plan, there will be enough money to pay for the "essentials," such as the drainage and parking lot issues at the high school and the roof repairs at Jeffersonville with funds from other accounts.

Danica At RCR In Nationwide ???
And JR Motorsports and Danica have not reached any agreement on a part-time schedule. They are focused on the full-time contracts of Regan Smith in the #5 and Cole Whitt in the #7.
Richard Childress Racing has talked with Danica and she may possibly be driving for him in 8-10 Nationwide races next year. She might share the #33 car with Ty Dillon or possible a different car just for her.
This would be weird... Danica in a #33 car... Im still trying to get used to the #10..lol

text: Hi gals! I'm new here but really excited to be part of this. My baby is turning 4 months old next week and I just really need to be connected to more mothers. Anyways, is it still possible for me to get my lil boy to drink expressed milk from the bottle? I actually introduced the bottle to him when he was 6 weeks old and i didn't have any problems whatsoever. But silly me didn't know that i had to give him the bottle everyday!!!! I know pretty stupid. I stopped giving him the bottle for two weeks and then he just rejected it completely after that. That was at about 3 months or so. Since then i've been seriously thinking about reintroducing him to the bottle. Part of me wants to but the other part just thinks it's more of a hassle. What do you think?

The Boys from Barre in the Spanish-American War
Barre never saw so many people in so small a space as that which gathered between ten and eleven oclock this forenoon to witness the send-off which the citizens of the Granite City were to give our local pride, the crack and loyal Company E. The Barre Evening Telegraph also reported that Main Street storefronts had been decorated with patriotic bunting and festooned with flags despite the short notice of muster on the morning in early May of 1898, when the citizenry turned out in force to send the boys from Barre to fight the war with Spain.
A cornet band from Williamstown played patriotic airs while local service clubs assembled for a farewell parade. The Grand Marshal was City Clerk Burt Wells, who was followed by Barres Transatlantic Band, the High School Cadets, the Fire Department, Clan Gordon, the Granite City Foresters of America, the Knights of Pythias, Crandall Post G.A.R., the Williamstown Band, and Company E with its new recruits. The parade moved down Main Street, around City Hall Park, and then up Main Street to the depot where a special train waited to convey the soldiers to Montpelier, where they would be joined by other units in the regiment, and then north by rail to Fort Ethan Allen for assimilation into the First Vermont Infantry.
The jingoistic fervor on the morning of May 6, 1898 would be in sharp contrast to the mens return, three months distant, when these favored sons of Barre would return to Vermont broken in spirit and health, sustaining casualties without ever seeing the rigors of battle.
Barres militia company was one of the first to be called to active duty it was considered one of the finest National Guard units in Vermont, having been in existence since 1886 when it was formed by Captain C. M. Spencer. For years the unit had been known as the Spencer Rifles. By the late 1890s their headquarters was on the third floor of the Miles Building on North Main Street. An exclusively volunteer group of citizen-soldiers, it joined the Vermont National Guard as Company E.
In late March of 1898 a secret communication was sent to all companies in the Vermont Regiment that armed conflict with Spain was increasingly likely. A speech by Vermont Senator Redfield Proctor was the deciding factor, persuading Congress of the necessity of war. By mid-April a second communication to the units asked if they were willing to volunteer in the event of war. Two days later they were asked to increase their numbers to 100 officers and enlisted men. Within 48 hours war had been declared against Spain, and in early May Company E, along with other units of the Vermont National Guard, assembled at Fort Ethan Allen for training and equipment. On May 15 scores of friends and family made their way from Barre to Colchester for a final farewell, and on the following day the soldiers of Company E boarded railroad cars for their journey to Camp Thomas at Chickamauga Park in Georgia, which place was destined to become, noted the Telegraph, a scene of disappointed military hopes, of sickness, of nostalgia, and death itself.
Severe heat, hardship
Chickamauga had been the site of a major Civil War battle 35 years earlier. Heavy casualties on both sides earned Chickamauga Creek the soubriquet River of Death. At first glance Chickamauga had some positive attributes. In Bullets and Bacilli, a book on medicine in the Spanish American war, Vincent Cirillo delineated the armys rationale for this encampment.
Its 11 square miles could accommodate the entire regular army, and it had an abundant supply of pure water. In addition, its summer heat and humidity could help acclimatize soldiers to the weather conditions they would face in Cuba. Its major drawback, dense clay soil nearly impervious to water, would come back to haunt the army. Poor drainage and drenching rains in July and August caused the sinks (pit latrines) to fill and overflow, contaminating the camp site.
The initial response of Company E to their new home was positive as they set about turning their temporary bivouac into something resembling suitable quarters. William H. Pitkin was listed with the rank of Musician in Company E and he also served as Special Correspondent to the Barre Evening Telegram. His letters to the paper evoke day-to-day camp life for the soldiers of Company E, at least until he got sick. Pitkin contracted typhoid fever and spent the last week of July in his quarters. In August he was furloughed back to Vermont to recover at his parents home in Fair Haven.
Pitkins first letter from Camp Thomas warned of the severe heat, 90 to 108 degrees in the shade, and observed that opportunistic Southerners tried to sell them glasses of water at 5 cents each on the long march from the train depot to the camp.
We would gladly pay 5 cents a glass for Barre water, although our salary is so low wed soon be as dry as before, he wrote. A consortium of Vermont companies established a canteen where the boys may purchase six glasses of cool lager beer or soda, and have a place to buy their tobacco, etc. The profit goes to the Cos with which they may buy sugar, milk, potatoes, etc. Pitkin continued, It might be of interest to know what we had to eat yesterday. Breakfast, 5:50 tomatoes, coffee, hardtack; dinner 12:00 coffee, hardtack, tomatoes; supper 6:00 hardtack, coffee, tomatoes, and still some of the field officers wonder why the boys complain So far none of Co. E. boys are in the hospital, but some do not feel like walking in heavy marching order more than ten or fifteen miles per day.
The hospital at Camp Thomas soon became notorious for poor sanitation and inadequate care of sick soldiers. The belief of many was that admission to the hospital was tantamount to a death sentence. Captain Morris of the Ninth New York testified some months after: The day before a sergeant whom I had known long and well was taken to the hospital of the division. As he left the regiment, he said to me that I need not look for him again, as he was going to the hospital, and frankly, I doubt whether I shall ever see him again.
The Captain graphically described the horrors of the hospital. I heard one day that a man from the Ninth, one of my own company, was dying there. The man was ill with typhoid fever, and his temperature was far above one hundred. When I reached his cot I nearly staggered with horror. The mans face was literally black with flies. His mouth, which was open the poor fellow was too weak to close it was filled with flies. The person in charge nonchalantly remarked that there were not enough nurses to go round.
For the northern boys of the First Vermont Infantry, the nickname for Chickamauga Creek, River of Death, became meaningful once again as the National Cemetery had to be reopened to accommodate the bodies ravaged by disease. By June 1, the first death of a Vermont soldier was recorded by the regiment. Musician William Spafford of Bennington died of a brain fever. He had been sick only a little more than a week. Sanitary conditions in the sweltering heat of Georgia resulted in deadly cases of typhoid fever, dysentery, and malaria. One officer from a New York Regiment complained that the camp was a modern Andersonville, evoking memories of the prisoner of war camp made infamous during the Civil War.
By the end of June, reported Cirilli in Bullets and Bacilli, Camp Thomas swarmed with 58,548 men and nearly 15,000 horses and mules. The influx of thousands of raw recruits ignorant of basic sanitary principles overtaxed the facilities and led to serious camp pollution. It was not long before the ground became a mass of putrefaction, wrote Col. Charles B. Dougherty, a line office with the Ninth Pennsylvania Infantry, which no effort towards sanitation on our part, using quicklime and disinfectants, could prevent.
On June 17 Pitkin remarked on the monotony of their situation. There had been a good deal of sameness to camp life for the past few days. Their uniform issue was in process with each soldier receiving Two pairs of shoes, three pairs of stockings, two sets of underwear, two blue flannel shirts, two pairs of blue trousers, one blouse, one campaign hat, one suit brown duck, one pair of leggings, new haversacks and canteens, two wool blankets, one blanket bag, one rubber poncho, new overcoats, one meat can, etc. Pitkin also writes appreciatively of gifts sent from Barre.
On June 13 Pitkin mentioned the first watermelons to arrive in camp. Many of the boys had never seen one before and went very light with them, some because they were afraid of them.
By mid July Pitkin acknowledged that there had been reports of typhoid fever in the camp but the few in the 1st Vermont that have the malady are doing nicely. But this was Pitkins last missive from Chickamauga. He spent the last week of July sick in quarters and was furloughed to his parents home in Fair Haven, where he convalesced from typhoid fever. In a months time the situation had changed dramatically. On Aug. 16 he noted in his last missive written in Fair Haven, When there are over two hundred who are unfit for duty and the number increasing, it is time something was done to improve the health of the camp.
Faced with an epidemic that had incapacitated two thirds of many companies of the First Vermont, the decision to send the Vermont boys home seemed most practical. Company E left Chickamauga on Aug. 19 and arrived at Fort Ethan Allen the night of the 22nd. Records in the Adjutant Generals office in Montpelier show that 658 soldiers were sick at one time or another at Camp Thomas this out of a total of 1,058. or over 62 percent. Company Es rate of illness was relatively light at about 37 percent. Amazingly, the mortality from disease in the Spanish American War was almost ten times that from enemy fire. And Camp Thomas, the camp for the First Vermont and other regiments, suffered an epidemic of typhoid fever several times the rate of other camps.
The boys come home
A reporter for the Telegram witnessed the arrival of First Vermont as the train pulled into Essex Junction. There is no denying that a harder lot of looking men have not been gathered together in Vermont since the veterans of the Civil War returned from the front. The sight of those in the hospital train made ones heart ache, but there was little that was inspiring in the tight-drawn sunburned features of the well ones. The reporter for the Telegram continued, As the train of sleepers was pushed on the siding they were about the worst looking cars ever seen in the state, and people crowded around and there was an attempt at something like an ovation, the women had their handkerchiefs out and some of the men began to wave their hats, but one look of the sad, haggard faces that were thrust from the windows took away all the gladness of the homecoming and the feeling of sorrow was increased when it was known that Corporal Lamson of Company E, Barre, had died on the way.
Harry Lamson was from Brookfield but had been living and working at the Wells-Lamson granite shed in Barre for several years. He was a graduate of Goddard Seminary and well-liked by his comrades. No young man in this city had a brighter future before him, yet all too early he was taken from us by the Reaper Death, and we must reconcile ourselves to the loss, noted the Telegram. The newspaper also reported that 214 sick soldiers returned to Fort Ethan Allen on the same train and that the appearance of these young men brought tears to the eyes of everyone and many of the women wept as though their hearts would break. Several other members of Company E. were on the train, and some had to enter the hospital upon arrival. Of these Frank McRae was the most dangerously ill. He was taken with malarial fever several weeks ago and it was not thought that he would survive the trip north. William Rust has been having a hard case of malaria. He was very weak when seen yesterday and was but a skeleton of his former self. William Fraser is so much reduced in flesh that his father scarcely knew him. William Burroughs has been sick with acute indigestion for nine weeks. He has loss 60 pounds. The litany of illness went on, and for years after their stint at Camp Thomas, Captain Joe Jackson, a surgeon with Company E. received requests for verification of the illnesses so that the afflicted soldiers could collect disability pensions, such was the chronic nature of malaria and dysentery.
Corporal Lamsons funeral was held at the Barre Congregational Church and all seats were taken long before the scheduled service. A processional was played by S. Holister Jackson, and the church was decorated with red, white, and blue floral tributes. Pastors from all of Barres churches participated in the service.
Company Es return to Barre on August 24 was met by a restrained and sober crowd. Their arrival was a very quiet one, noted the Telegram. Each man carried his blanket in a roll and their haversacks, guns and other equipment were left behind, having been turned in to the ordnance department. The boys brought with them a young dark complexioned gentleman by the name of Walter from the south and he is attracting a good deal of attention.
Within two days after returning home another Barre soldier died. William Dunham of Clark Street succumbed to the malaria he had contracted at Camp Thomas. Will had been graduated from Goddard Seminary in the same class as Harry Lamson but he had continued his education at Tufts University, receiving a baccalaureate degree in 1895. Two years later he was a member of the faculty at Goddard, teaching literature and elocution. His funeral was held at the Universalist Church and he was buried in Hope Cemetery.
The next day Company E was mustered out of the active service of the United States and returned to National Guard status. It was not long after that an official inquiry was initiated into the circumstances of Camp Thomas, where hundreds of healthy men were infected with chronic disease which would plague them for the rest of their lives. As soldiers returned to Fort Ethan Allen they were willing to level criticism at the officers who tolerated their harsh conditions while at Camp Thomas.
A reporter for the St. Albans Messenger interviewed an officer who had much to say concerning rations that were dealt out to them. Over 700 pounds of maggoty meat was turned over to his company which sold it at 1 cent a pound rather than eat it. The boys spent their own money for better food than the government furnished them, and spent lots of it, too. The reporter noted that most of the members of the regiment speak in the highest terms of all the officers with one exception. There is slowly coming to light much that reflects on this officer and if his treatment of the men finds its way into the newspapers it will create a sensation.
An investigation
A commission, headed by Norwich alumnus Grenville M. Dodge, held hearings in several parts of the country, including Vermont. It was soon clear that one officer held accountable for the poor treatment of the soldiers was Maj. Jenne, a doctor from St. Albans who was charged with supervision of the hospital at Camp Thomas. It was alleged that Jenne very seldom visited the hospital or paid any attention to it. The investigation was conducted by Dodge Commission member U.A. Woodbury, a former Vermont Governor. Maj. Jenne had charge of the first and second division hospitals and was grilled by Woodbury for four and a half hours. He read from one of his reports where he noted the bad drainage in the camp which allowed latrine-pits to overflow into the ground occupied by tents. Garbage was thrown near the tents. There was no thorough investigation of the water...insufficient care was taken of refuse. Hospitals were insufficiently supplied and staffed. Many sinks (latrine pits) filled with water from percolation as in a spring. Saw the sinks filled by rain and the contents spread over the surface of the camps. In the case of the Vermont Regiment it was impossible to locate the sinks further away. The instances of poor sanitation, infestation of flies and vermin, and poor medical care were detailed in the examination which was reported in the Vermont press.
While the public hearings were quick to blame the medical officers, the Dodge Commission Report found that the Regimental commanders were, in fact, equally culpable. Their indifference to the requests for better sanitation in the camps made the epidemic of typhoid fever inevitable. The Commission found the Medical Department was unprepared to meet the needs of the camps, did not investigate the sanitary conditions, had an insufficient nursing staff, and were insufficiently supplied with medicine due to inadequacies in the Quartermaster Department.
The great tragedy of the disease that killed and incapacitated so many at Camp Thomas was that it was entirely avoidable. Great advances had been made in medicine and sanitation since the days of the Civil War, and had there been cooperation among the line officers and the medical corps, the heartbreak of epidemic and disease could have been averted. The volunteers from Barre were sad victims of military indifference and incompetence, and to the discredit of the regiment two lives were unnecessarily lost.
Sen. Frank Greene was Captain of Company K from St. Albans. Some 30 years later he recalled the misfortunes of the Vermont regiment at Camp Thomas:
The First Vermont Volunteers did not see battle but did experience indescribable misery through the Nations neglect. I am certain the Regiment would have preferred, yes, welcomed, battle to the suffering, heat, poor water, typhoid fever, dysentery, disgusting food, and lack of medical equipment at Chickamauga. Vivid, undimmed by the years is my memory of the suffering of the sick, their courageous fights to live, and the despair of those trying to aid them. All honor to them and to those men of Vermont who went stoically about their duties, half sick, through that terrible experience. Soldiers true, all of them.MORE IN Central VermontMIDDLEBURY According to WebMD, Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes a persons muscles ...

I have been exclusively pumping for about 7 weeks, my son is 10 weeks. We have been working hard to learn to nurse, and trying to get around nipple confusion. I have been able to get baby to latch some and nurse, but I have a hard time getting him to open wide. I have been using the Kassing method of bottle feeding to reinforce breastfeeding, and baby seems to get it that he has to open wide to take the bottle nipple, but doesn't seem to quite get the idea at the breast yet.
Anyone start nursing this late in the game? Any good advice for improving latch now?

ok,so my 5 year old was sick,and although he is better now,I apparently got the virus and I have a runny nose and feel congested. My 4.5 month old daughter started having kind of a runny nose and a *cough*-at least,it can't be something else. I continue breastfeeding normally,and do put her in the nose those drops with purified water for babies. Do you think I should take her to the pediatrician tomorrow? (today is a bank holiday and nobody works).
my son had his first antibiotics when he was 3.years old so I'm definitely NOT thrilled by what I see

This time last year, golfers were already out playing rounds at several courses in the area.
This year, snow and ice are still keeping courses closed.
Last April, Forest Hills golf course was already a month into its record season for business.
For now, the trains are just about the only thing rolling through the course.
"We are definitely a little behind schedule at this point," said Keith Stoll, general manager of the golf course.
The conditions are even making things hard for crews to do maintenance work.
"With the frost coming out of the ground, everything's just wet and soggy," said Stoll. "We don't want to create damage out there, so we're pretty much walking the golf course, cleaning it at this point."
"We're just waiting for the weather to cooperate," said Jay Odegaard, Parks and Recreation supervisor for the city of La Crosse.
Last month, the old clubhouse was demolished.
Now, the weather is keeping the city from turning the area into a lush green space.
"Obviously, we have to get all of the frost off the ground, and now that the snow and ice is all leaving us, we can get in and clean up the debris that was left behind after the majority of the building was taken out," said Odegaard.
Odeggard said the ground also needs to thaw before they can replace the 120 ash trees removed from the course this past winter.
While the changes are slow to come, Odegaard and Stoll said once the improvements are finished and the course is finally open, it will be a good season for business.
"I think it's going to be a very positive impact," said Odegaard.
"I think to some degree we never get to add more days to the calendar, so it's certainly going to set us back just a little bit, but it all kind of shakes out," said Stoll.
"I always think the next season is going to be the greatest season. We can make it up, there's still time."
The landscaping project itself will cost anywhere from $6,000-$10,000and should be finished by early summer.
The trees have been ordered, and planting will begin once the weather cooperates.
The city plans on replacing about 70 trees, each one costing upwards of $100.
On average, Forest Hills is usually open by the beginning of April.
Stoll is still hoping for an opening date within the month.

Demora Sulu was a Starfleet ensign serving aboard the Excelsior-class USS Enterprise NCC-1701-B under the command of Captain John Harriman in 2293. The daughter of Hikaru Sulu, she carried on her father's legacy as helmsman of the Enterprise.
During the christening ceremony for the Enterprise-B, Demora met her father's old commanding officer, James T. Kirk, for the first time since she was a little girl in 2281. Kirk expressed surprise at how fast time had gone by, and congratulated her on her posting, stating "it wouldn't be the Enterprise without a Sulu at the helm." Later, Demora participated in a rescue attempt for two El-Aurian transport vessels which had become trapped in a severe gravimetric distortion emanating from an energy ribbon, and was present for Kirk's supposed death while saving the Enterprise-B from destruction.

Appendices Edit
Background information Edit
Demora Sulu was played by Jacqueline Kim. Her lines in the script for Star Trek Generations were originally written for Hikaru Sulu, but George Takei turned down the offer to appear in the movie. The writers considered making the character Pavel Chekov's daughter before settling on the relationship with Sulu. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
In an article entitled "George Takei" which appeared Star Trek: Communicator issue 100, Takei discussed his take on his character having a daughter, stating:
- "It's intriguing. I'd like to know how I had her. Who her mother is. That's the thing about doing a long-lasting serialized film or TV series. You really are in the hands of the writers and the other molders and shapers of the series. You make your input and you hope for the best. In my case my input didn't take too much during the time I was there and I'm so delighted to discover that I was so ultimately productive after the fact."
Apocrypha Edit
Demora is central to the plot of the following:
- The novel The Captain's Daughter by Peter David.
- The PC-based simulation Star Trek: Starship Creator.
- The Lost Era novel Serpents Among the Ruins by David R. George III.
- The short story "Iron and Sacrifice", from the Tales from the Captain's Table anthology, also by David George.
She was also referenced in William Shatner's novel Dark Victory.

Deep Depth
Reggie Willits began his professional career in 2003 with the Provo Angels.
It's a familiar refrain on Angels fan bulletin boards.
Depth is bad.
Why have more than one prospect at a position, goes the illogic. Trade everybody else for an aging "name" veteran whose future performance is "guaranteed."
The last time I checked, nothing on Planet Earth is guaranteed.
That fact of reality aside, proposed "fan" trades are usually a variation of something like this — Nick Adenhart, Brandon Wood, Casey Kotchman, Jeff Mathis and "whatever it takes" to get Manny Ramirez, Mike Sweeney or Randy Johnson.
Angels GM Bill Stoneman has managed so far to avoid this helpful advice — and it's the reason the Angels have remained competitive in 2007.
Whether it's the Angels Curse or just a streak of statistically improbable mishaps, it seems that every year the Angels have to survive a number of injuries that test their ability to stay afloat.
Coming out of spring training, the Angels were short two starting pitchers. Bartolo Colon was recovering from a labrum tear, and Jered Weaver was set back by tendonitis. For most teams, losing a Colon and a Weaver would be a devastating setback. But for the Angels, no problem, because Stoneman didn't trade Joe Saunders a couple years ago when some claimed he was a "wasted" draft pick because he suffered a labrum injury early in his career. Stoneman also had Dustin Moseley, acquired in December 2004 in a trade for Ramon Ortiz. Moseley might have blossomed earlier if not for his own injuries the last couple years.
These few complaining fans claim that Stoneman never makes trades, yet Ortiz for Moseley is just one successful example that he does.
The fact of the matter is that he doesn't make a trade just to get in the headlines. He makes trades when he thinks it will make the Angels better.
Among his other trades are:
- Mo Vaughn for Kevin Appier
- Brian Cooper for Brad Fullmer
- Kimera Bartee for Chone Figgins
- Jose Guillen for Juan Rivera and Maicer Izturis
Not every trade has turned out on balance in the Angels' favor — I happen to be one of the few people who thinks Jim Edmonds for Adam Kennedy and Kent Bottenfield was okay because the Angels got the best defensive second baseman in the A.L. for seven years — but no GM can claim a 100% "guaranteed" track record.
True, Stoneman has never orchestrated one of those four-team trades involving seventeen players that Billy Beane makes, which make some fans swoon in ecstasy. But no one seems to ask whether those trades ever actually make a positive impact in the long run.
After his playing career and before he returned to baseball in the Montreal front office, Stoneman was a banking industry executive. If you look at how he runs the Angels from that perspective, you realize he understands the importance of saving your assets. You can save a little money each week in case of a future disaster, or you can blow it all on a drunken binge weekend in Las Vegas. I suspect his critics would choose the latter option, but Stoneman patiently chooses the former, and now it's paying off.
So as Colon, Weaver, Figgins, Juan Rivera, Dallas McPherson, Howie Kendrick, Kelvim Escobar, Shea Hillenbrand, Maicer Izturis, Garret Anderson and Vlad Guerrero have either gone on the disabled list or at least sat out a few games due to injury, the Angels have gone to the well and are currently in first place in the A.L. West.
I think most rational people agree Brandon Wood should be in Triple-A, but he's in Anaheim now only because first Izturis and now Erick Aybar are playing regularly. Robb Quinlan, another potential 3B, has been in left field due to Anderson's hip injury.
Reggie Willits, who's never had any power in the minors, has brought to the big leagues his high-OBP game of singles and walks. (Funny how those same critics claim the Angels disdain high OBP, yet there's Willits.)
If Stoneman had pulled one of those "flush the farm" trades that show up on fan boards, the Angels would be in a world of hurt right now. Literally. And metaphorically.
1 Comment
Well, well. I'm trying not to sound like a FutureAngels sycophant but I have to throw my full support behind this analysis of the situation. I know Stephen will get hammered for this on Al Gore's internet because I do just espousing this position at work.
Listen up! Trading away the farm will, in the long run, leave you with a team looking a lot like the Giants. No farm=old free agent signings and no kids to bring along. For those who may have missed a good chunk of the 70's, the Angels tried the reverse of this by using a lot of low-powered "talent" from their non-existent farm. That was ugly, too. Stoneman has struck a pretty darn good balance between the two.
No, trading the present (as effective injury replacements) and future (who are gaining great experience from short call-ups) for a "name" or "used-to-be-name" (who the heck is advocating Randy Johnson or the inevitably-injured Mike Sweeney??) is the wrong way to go.
While I have had disagreements with a couple of Stoneman's signings (picture Ben Stein saying, "Hillenbrand? … Hillenbrand?"), I am very happy to go along with his results this decade. To quote Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh as closely as I can remember, "I like winning, It's like, you know, better than losing."

American Eskimo Dog Physical Characteristics
The American Eskimo Dog is a small and compact domestic breed, with a square body and a wedge-shaped head. They have small, pointed ears that are almost always erect, and a generally black nose with brown eyes. One of the most distinctive features of the American Eskimo Dog is it's beautiful snow-white coat which is quite long in places. The American Eskimo Dog has a thick double coat of fur which consists of a soft, dense under-coat, with longer, coarse hairs forming the outer layer. The American Eskimo Dog's tail is long and curved upwards, and is covered in long, white feathers. They range in size from 23cm to 43cm tall, depending on the breed type (toy, miniature or standard).
American Eskimo Dog Behaviour and Temperament
The American Eskimo is an affectionate and loving breed, having become increasingly popular in households throughout the United States. They are hardy and adaptable Dogs, known to live easily in a variety of houses and apartments. The American Eskimo Dog is highly alert, making it a keen watchdog as they will bark to alert their owner to any approaching stranger. They are known to be good with young children as they are naturally playful by nature and are always eager to please. The American Eskimo Dog is also very intelligent having been used as a watchdog, guard-dog, in narcotics detection and for performing tricks. The American Eskimo Dog thrives on Human companionship but behavioural issues can arise if it does not have a clearly dominant owner.
American Eskimo Dog Breeding
The American Eskimo Dog has actually existed in America for hundreds of years, but it was known as the White German Spitz until it's name was changed after the First World War. They have been bred almost exclusively as companions and sometimes watchdogs, with the three different sizes meaning that any home of any size, can now own one. They do however, need a great deal of attention. along with regular grooming of their silky fur, and like to integrate themselves into the family properly. The American Eskimo Dog has an average of 5 puppies per litter and healthy individuals can get to be more than 15 years old.
American Eskimo Dog Interesting Facts and Features
Despite it's name, the American Eskimo Dog is thought to have absolutely no connection to Eskimo and Inuit Dogs whatsoever. In 1913, they were renamed as the American Eskimo to avoid discrimination towards the breed because of their German origins. It is thought that the most likely reason that they were named as American Eskimos is due to their snowy white coat. The American Eskimo Dog became an increasingly popular breed after having made an appearance in a number of acts at the Barnum and Bailey Circus. A number of tricks could be completed such as dancing to music and interacting with clowns, but it was the fact that one American Eskimo Dog was the first Dog to walk across a tight-rope, that really made a name for the breed.

Hi, I've been having problems with cracked, bleeding nipples. I suspect that latch was the issue initially, but now that the latch is better (I think), I thought I'd start to see improvement in the cracking, but it's not getting better. He still clamps down when the let-down is too fast. I've done the catch the initial let-down in the diaper thing, but then during the course of the feeding, he freaks out about those let-downs. The pulling back I can handle, it's when he bites and twists his head from side to side that really hurts, and I can't seem to get my finger in there fast enough to pull him off and start over before he's already done more damage. I've been putting milk on the wounds after feedings, letting them air-dry, putting on lanolin, not getting soap or shampoo on them in the shower.
What else can I do? Am I missing something major? I am pretty sure this isn't supposed to hurt so badly. It's been like this since the beginning, and now, four weeks in, I'm getting real tired of the pain.

The number of homes served by the town will jump by 15 percent in one fell swoop. Along with the additional 765 homes, thereŌĆÖs the sprawling Lake Junaluska Conference and Retreat Center that draws upwards of 100,000 guests a year ŌĆö so itŌĆÖs not as easy as drawing a new line on a map.
The town must hire new police officers and map new patrol routes. It must craft an itinerary for picking up trash, recycling and yard trimmings. It has to wrangle all the addresses into its billing system for property taxes and utilities.
As town department heads hammer out their respective pieces of the municipal puzzle, Town Planner Paul Benson has been laying the groundwork for a zoning plan for the community that will stipulate things like residential housing density and architectural standards for commercial development.
ŌĆ£We would like to move Lake Junaluska as smoothly as we can into the Waynesville zoning scheme,ŌĆØ Benson said. ŌĆ£I like to think everyone would be in accord on this.ŌĆØ
Benson doesnŌĆÖt foresee any hiccups, or even much debate. Lake Junaluska has fairly strict community covenants and deed restrictions already, so a zoning plan doesnŌĆÖt need to be created from whole cloth.
ŌĆ£Codify whatŌĆÖs there,ŌĆØ Benson said of the strategy.
Benson said the town doesnŌĆÖt have an agenda or motive in getting the community to ascribe to a particular vision, other than what the community itself wants.
ŌĆ£I think it will be a very smooth process,ŌĆØ agreed Pat Koontz, an elected member of the Junaluska Community Council.
For example, Lake JunaluskaŌĆÖs covenants already prevent condos or apartments from being plunked down in neighborhoods.
The town does, however, have architectural rules for commercial development. The town doesnŌĆÖt allow windowless cinderblock or sheet metal buildings, for example. Businesses must have sidewalks, attractive landscaping and awnings over the front door. Signs must be tidy and not obnoxiously large. And no blinking neon lights.
ŌĆ£All of our design standards would apply,ŌĆØ Benson said.
But those rules arenŌĆÖt expected to be an issue either, since the only commercial property in the Lake Junaluska community is owned by the conference and retreat center itself.
The retreat center has a 10-year master plan that calls for major renovations and additions to campus, but building designs would be stylish enough to sail through the townŌĆÖs commercial guidelines, according to Buddy Young, the Lake Junaluska Public Works director. The whole point of the plan, after all, is to give the campus an aesthetic makeover.
Still, ŌĆ£That will be something new,ŌĆØ Benson said. ŌĆ£There will be somebody regulating the conference center now. I am sure the townŌĆÖs stance would be whatever the conference center wants to do.ŌĆØ
For now, any further work on the zoning plan for Lake Junaluska is on hold until the merger is finalized by the state.
ŌĆ£We have a small but vocal opposition to annexation, and we are trying to be respectful in not getting out in front of the legislature,ŌĆØ said Young.
A bill officially bringing Lake Junaluska into WaynesvilleŌĆÖs town limits has passed the N.C. Senate and will likely move through the N.C. House of Representatives in May. The launch date for the merger to become official is Aug. 31.
A zoning plan for Lake Junaluska likely wonŌĆÖt be ready by then. A public forum would be held so Lake Junaluska residents can weigh in on a community zoning plan, Benson said. It would then need to be approved by the town planning board and board of aldermen, including holding an official public hearing.
So there could be a couple of months lag time between the merger taking effect and a zoning plan being ready to implement. But Benson said thatŌĆÖs not a big deal.
ŌĆ£It hasnŌĆÖt been zoned for 100 years,ŌĆØ Benson said. ŌĆ£The only issue would be the bizarre scenario that somebody did something really objectionable and people looked at the town as said ŌĆśWhy didnŌĆÖt you zone it faster?ŌĆÖŌĆØ
Lake JunaluskaŌĆÖs covenants and deed restrictions already do the heavy lifting when it comes to keeping out unsavory and incompatible development, however. Those would continue to apply even after the townŌĆÖs official zoning plan takes effect.
ŌĆ£Property covenants supersede the townŌĆÖs ordinances,ŌĆØ said Koontz.
In many cases, Lake JunaluskaŌĆÖs covenants are tougher than the townŌĆÖs standards would be, such as rules stipulating how close to the property line someone can build a storage shed.
ŌĆ£The stricter requirement would prevail,ŌĆØ Benson said.
One question thatŌĆÖs emerged from residents: will they still be able to offer their homes as vacation rentals? About a quarter of the homes at the lake are rented out at some point in the year, although most of those are rented for just a week here and there when the owner isnŌĆÖt using the house themselves.
The town zoning wouldnŌĆÖt change that. There are rental homes all over Waynesville, Benson said.
Some residents hope being in the townŌĆÖs zoning jurisdiction will fix the issue of absentee homeowners who are remiss in keeping up with yard work. The town regulations require regular mowing. If grass becomes too long, the town mows it and bills the homeowner for it under its zoning rules, which would be a welcome recourse for some neighbors of unkempt properties.
Since many of Lake JunaluskaŌĆÖs homeowners are seasonal residents ŌĆö more than half in fact ŌĆö the increase to WaynesvilleŌĆÖs actual population isnŌĆÖt as substantial as the number of homes being added. But the addition of Lake Junaluska will push Waynesville over the population milestone of more than 10,000 residents, bringing the town from around 9,900 fulltime, year-round residents to about 10,500.

Head of prime fund services departs Credit Suisse
Credit Suisse's global head of prime fund services has left the bank two years after moving to London to take up the role.
Kevin Meehan was previously head of the Swiss bank's prime services coverage in Asia, leading sales and marketing throughout Asia-Pacific before moving to London in June 2012 to head up Credit Suisse's prime fund services globally. Credit Suisse confirmed his departure but declined to comment further.
Prime brokerage divisions at banks primarily help to finance hedge funds' trades. Credit Suisse's prime fund services arm offers administration, custody and banking, including liquidity, leveraged and foreign exchange financing, according to its website.
Credit Suisse was named the top-rated European prime broker for hedge funds this year by database Hedge Fund Intelligence. It ranked third globally behind Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan.
Before moving to Hong Kong to join Credit Suisse, Meehan was head of Jupiter Asset Management's hedge funds group, and prior to that he was director and general counsel for fund administrator Citco Fund Services.
Earlier this year veteran prime broker Roy Martins left Credit Suisse after seven years at the firm.
Martins had run Credit Suisse's European prime services division before moving to an advisory role six months before his departure. He was replaced by long-standing colleague Dougal Brech.

The winds of change and snow are blowing
I'm working on getting a camera to replace the one I left on the ski run yesterday. At this point I'm not to picky because it's damn close to opening day. I'll be there with glove in hand and a disposable camera in the other if I have to.
What a great day, snowing and blowing, almost two hours to get home from work and It's only a fifteen minute drive. The best thing is there's more snow on it's way.
East coast get ready because you always get it worse than we do and this one's been a monster. Oh and it's that wet heavy snow that shovelers love.
I'd like to thank whoever schedules the plow truck drivers for really being on his game last night.
The state has saved a fortune this winter in snow removal because of the mild weather.
Usually every Feb/Mar we get our one "big snowstorm".
This one had all the signs of being a "Big One" yet, no prep work was done.
The only plow I saw all day was the one blocking the road I needed to travel on to get back home.
I have never seen so many people out driving during a major snowstorm. It's supposed to continue to snow all night and part of tomorrow. Stay home!
I bought my Toyota 4×4 at exactly the right time and it was pure pleasure to drive in this blizzard. I recommend one.
I'm totally having fun with this Max Madness thing going over at "The Maxx ". What they've done is taken the top blogs and laid them out in a bracket style format.
I love the secret vote part of this competition. I just watched the number one fan blog get bumped out by the # 13 blog called Diatribe of a Law Student (an excellent blog by the way and located on my sidebar).
Let me break down the "Real Deal" for you. Don't thank me it's what I do. I can give it to you straight because I'm not getting paid and because someone has to.
Comments are left on MLBlogs.com as a way of networking for some, letting the reader know your opinion of what he/she wrote, or for schmoozing.
Schmoozing is all part of the game. Everyone does a it a little, you have to. Some people more than others. You schmooze to get what you want, It's a fact.
I knew this bracket would have some major upsets. Just because someone is number one fan blog doesn't mean that they're the best or most popular.
None of us have any control over how much exposure our blogs gets here, but we do have control of how we vote. There's some randomness to it, but some blogs just get more attention than others. It just beez that way and I'm fine with that.
In the end the ulitmate proof is in the vote. I love a good shake up, and things need to be shook up a bit.
By the way, looks like I'm up next against Clemson Girl, probably first thing tomorrow morning east coast time. Good luck girl!
You know me I love throwing ideas at you and my next entry will be one that is chock full of new ideas for MLBlogs.com. Onward and upward, gotta keep moving.
It's Jiffy Pop time baby, Mark where you at brotha? It's time for a latest leaders update…D

D – I think this is actually one storm that we might not get! Good luck!
Hey Don, I finally got pics up, hope you like them. Don't really have time to talk about everything, I just had a lot of people wanting to see pics, so that's what I did. We need to get together SOON! Dan
DAN-Checked out you pictures. Nice job, bet that took a while huh? Nice coverage of all the stadiums. You photographed them just like a snagger would.
EMMA-Thanks, I checked out your blog..you so crazy…🙂
JULIA-Thanks, better hope it misses you…D
Hey D,
Woof! I just got the sidewalks shoveled (I'm on a corner lot). I love the spring snows because they're good for buiding snowmen and forts but I hate them when it's time to shovel. Well, at least I got my workout for the day.
I'll have to check out The Maxx, sounds interesting.
Eech, please keep that snow away from Pennsylvania! I am so ready to be done with snow – it is officially spring after all.🙂
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Good luck to you too! I think you have the edge on this one, you seem to have a pretty big fan base and your blog has been around longer than mine.
In South Carolina it is pouring which is good because we are in a drought but I hate walking to class in it. It's better than snow though so good luck with the snow too!
Good Luck to you Melissa…D
JULIA-When I first pulled up MLblogosphere I say Zack ws # 5 and I was six. So you were not the only one who saw that. I was going to respond and let Mark know but when I went back it was fixed.
MELISSA-Thanks, you as well. Welcome to the Rant…D
Thanks for the read and comment. I'm pretty new to this, but I'm glad you enjoyed reading about the guide to Hi Corbett Field. I'd have to agree that it's one of the better parks.
I look forward to reading your stuff as well.

Nongovernmental Organization Development
Volunteers work with local, national, or international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that deal with youth, social services, small business development, or the environment.
Typical projects include increasing an NGO's organizational capacity and sustainability; creating strategic and funding plans; raising public awareness of an NGO's mission; conducting community outreach; recruiting, training, and motivating NGO volunteers; developing mission statements, bylaws, and other documentation; working with boards of directors; mentoring and skill building of staff; and increasing the quality and effectiveness of an NGO's services.
If you can offer a more detailed description than this standard description the Peace Corps offers, please feel free to include that so others can get a better idea of what certain work areas consist of.
Applicants must have a bachelor's degree in any discipline and two years of experience in management of a nonprofit; or a master's degree with a concentration in nonprofit management, public administration, or organizational development; or no college degree and at least five years of management experience in a nonprofit organization.
Most applicants have at least two years of management or organizational development experience with nonprofit organizations, as staff members or volunteers. Recent college graduates may have experience as founders or leaders of a community- or school-based organization.
Other relevant experience includes a demonstrated commitment to a project's issues, working with a community service organization, and supervision of community or student volunteers. Networking skills, information technology experience, and strategic planning abilities are also useful.

About the Commission
The Ethics in Government Act of 1987 was enacted in order to promote public confidence in government, to prevent the use of public office to further private gain, and to preserve the integrity of governmental institutions. The Act accomplishes those goals by prohibiting certain activities, requiring financial disclosure by certain State employees, and providing for public inspection of financial statements.
Since 1990, the Ethics Commission for the Unified Court System has been responsible for administering the distribution, collection, review and maintenance of annual financial disclosure statements. The powers and duties of the Commission are set forth in 22 NYCRR Part 40 (Chief Judge's Rule) and the procedures promulgated by the Commission are set forth in 22 NYCRR Part 7400.
The Ethics Commission for the Unified Court System is comprised of five members appointed by the Chief Judge, upon consultation with the Administrative Board of the Courts. Two members of the Commission must be State Judges or Justices, and at least two shall not be public officers or employees. The chair is designated by the Chief Judge. The Commissioners serve without compensation. Each Commissioner serves for a term of five years.
The members of the Commission are:
Hon. William F. Mastro, Appellate Division, Second Department, Chair;
Antonio Galvao, Esq, NYS Office of Court Administration;
Kathryn Grant Madigan, Esq., Levene Gouldin & Thompson, LLP;
Hon. Erin M. Peradotto, Appellate Division, Fourth Department;
Vincent J. Syracuse, Esq., Tannenbaum Helpern Syracuse & Hirschtritt LLP;

The German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAuA)
published a study conducted by Mrs Anna Wirtz on the impact of longer working hours on health and Safety of Workers. The study shows a clear impact on Worker's health and safety.
The Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAuA) conducts research and development in the field of safety and health at work, promotes the transfer of knowledge into practice, advises policymakers and performs sovereign functions - under hazardous substances law, in product safety and with the health data archive. The BAuA is a governmental research institution within the purview of the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs.

The initial Working Time Directive of 23 November 1993[1] made provision in Article 5 for a minimum weekly rest period, which "shall in principle include Sunday".
On 12 November 1996 the European Court of Justice (ECJ) annulled this provision. The Court found "that the Council has failed to explain why Sunday, as a weekly rest day, is more closely connected with the health and safety of workers than any other day of the week."[2] It follows from the Court's reasoning, that the protection of Sunday as such does not fall outside the scope of the Directive, but simply that there had not been sufficient reason to explain why Sunday as a weekly rest day contributes more than any other day of the week to the health and safety of workers. A provision aiming at including Sunday, as a weekly rest day, in any future revised Working Time Directive is therefore to be welcomed if the European lawmaker delivers on the ECJ's tacit invitation to demonstrate that Sunday is more closely connected with the health of workers than any other day of the week.
The British House of Commons stopped the governmental plans for even more shopping hours on Sundays in England an Wales. This might partially be due to the work of "Keep Sunday Special", the British supporter of the European Alliance.
Twenty (20) organisations in the Federal State Salzburg, Austria, have founded a Sunday Alliance as of 17 June 2015.
In its judgement (G 66/11-8) of 14 June 2012 the Austrian Constitutional Court confirmed that the prohibition on shop opening on Sundays and bank holidays is consistent with the Austrian constitution. The overall objectives of shop closing or opening hours are: the protection of the interests of consumers, the aims of the competition regime and the socio-political function. All of these objectives would be in the public interest, says the Court.

Fertility Retreats
Many couples struggling with infertility are trying fertility retreats instead of, or in addition to, the traditional treatments of drugs, surgery, or ART. These holistic getaways are designed to help couples deal with the emotional and physical aspects of their fertility issues through relaxation techniques, Traditional Chinese Medicine, diet, yoga, massage, exercise, art therapy, and herbal supplements.
According to a study conducted at Harvard University and reported in the Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics and Gynecology in 1993, the level of depression and anxiety experienced by individuals struggling with infertility is equal to that of patients diagnosed with cancer and HIV. Research has also shown a causal relationship between stress and infertility, leading some experts to believe that stress reduction techniques may increase the chance of conceiving naturally or with ART.
Fertility retreats are based on the belief that there is no separation between the mind and the body; one affects the other. Therefore, stress, depression, and anxiety affect the physical body as well as the mind, and when that anxiety is focused on reproductive health, it can impede fertility. Proponents of these retreats believe that by teaching participants relaxation techniques and applying other holistic methods, the fertility issues can be resolved.
Many clinics and organizations offer several different retreats, depending on the participants' specific fertility issue. For example, there are general fertility programs for couples; an adhesion release program for women who suffer from endometriosis, abdominal adhesions and fallopian tube obstruction; and even a pregnancy support program for women who succeed in conceiving to ensure the best condition for sustaining the pregnancy.
A fertility retreat can help you:
By the end of the retreat, participants report feeling more relaxed, a greater sense of control over their fertility problems and their ability to deal with it, and a general improved sense of well-being. Leaders of the retreats believe they work because the curriculum and methods address the individual's attitude and behavior toward their problem, not just the physical aspects.
The Journal of the American Medical Women's Association reported in 1999 that within six months of being taught mind/body relaxation techniques, 42 percent of the women in the study were able to conceive. Additionally, these women were able to affectively decrease their levels of stress, anxiety and depression. Another study concluded that 55 percent of women who completed Harvard University's mind/body workshop conceived within six months of finishing the program, compared with only 20 percent who did not take the program.

"The work of priestly formation these days must involve a strong catechetical component since so many of our people have been deficiently formed. The resources you provide are allowing the Church to do a better job in preparing Catholics to know and defend their faith more effectively."

…the library has you covered. The world may end in nine days (and many of our survival skill books are checked out already), but if it doesn't, you may want to check out The worst-case scenario survival handbook: holidays. According to the cover, it will show you how to prevail against hordes of shoppers OR reindeer. I think it also has tips for tough family situations.
