Implications for practice and research
▪ The Otago exercise programme (OEP) can be recommended by nurses for independently ambulant community-dwelling older people, particularly those 80 years and above.
▪ Community health nurses could consider undertaking training, where available, to deliver the OEP.
▪ Older people considering the OEP should be advised of the kinds of adverse events they might experience and how these should be managed should they arise.
▪ Providing ongoing encouragement and examination of those undertaking the OEP will be important in securing the exercise dose required for falls prevention benefits.
▪ Future research of the factors associated with exercise compliance and motivating factors for home exercise programmes will assist in maximising the benefits of these programmes.
Falls are a significant threat to the safety, health and independence of our older citizens.1 Falls are relatively common, with about one-third of people aged 65 years and above experiencing at least one fall annually.1 2 A constellation of adverse health outcomes can follow, including serious injury; increased mortality risk; erosion of overall health status, confidence, mobility and independence; and decreased quality of life.1 2
There is robust evidence that exercise can reduce falls particularly among community-dwelling older people, with the types of exercise and minimum dose having been specified.2 3 One of the …

Corey Pavin made his captain's picks today. Personally, I like all four picks. Had to pick Tiger. Cink and Zach Johnson are steady pros. Love the pick of Rickie Fowler. That guy makes watching golf quite a bit more fun. And Fowler has a great Walker Cup record. I wish Anthony Kim had more time to get his game back together since his injury. He was great two years ago.
Can't wait for the Ryder Cup, only 24 days away!

Artist finds inspiration scattered on the lawn
Humble pine needles take shape as baskets.
By GAIL DIEDERICH
Published April 27, 2007
Simple brown pine needles are either raked from lawns with mutters of irritation or just ignored.
But Teri Thompson treasures them - and turns them into baskets that many people consider works of art. Her pine needle creations can now fetch up to $1,000 each. Not bad for a hobby.
Thompson uses the slash pine needles that are everywhere, free for the taking. All she has to do is collect them, trim off rough ends and lay them in neat bundles. Sometimes she sets up pans outside and trots in and out with kettles of hot water, adding Rit dye, turning pine needles purple, blue or red.
Then she sets to work. No plan, no designs, no shape or style in mind.
Just Thompson, her pine needles, a curved stitching needle and some artificial sinew that comes in many colors. Around and around, her fingers push the needle, forming a continuous coil.
Thompson, who lives in Wesley Chapel, usually makes the decision for what's next in the design as she works. Occasionally she turns to her husband, Roger, a woodworker, for suggestions.
"Sometimes I just start working and end with, 'Oh, look what I made,' " Thompson says with a laugh.
Thompson picks up a basket, and glances up with a shy smile of delight.
It may be small, like the ones she has that are 3 or 4 inches in diameter, or large like the black and red one, about 20 inches tall with a snug-fitting lid.
About four years ago Thompson met a man at an art show who was making pine needle baskets. She asked him to show her how. They spent about four hours together.
Then Thompson was off to the library. She gathered up books.
"Most of them were old," she says. "From the 1950s and '60s."
She has no art training, no design classes; only a small amount of sewing in high school home ec. But she knew what she wanted to do. And she had the books.
She read and gathered pine needles. Then she started.
Her first basket, small with seashells dangling around the sides, seems almost out of place next to more than 40 elegant baskets now crowding her dining room table. There are slices of colorful agate, sections of maple burl or cross sections of black walnut - Roger cuts those on a band saw - worked into the baskets.
"At first I made them for friends and family, and then I had to expand that circle," Thompson says with a laugh. "My family encouraged me to branch out."
The branching out has gone in several directions, none expected. Thompson sold baskets while serving on jury duty. Not intentionally. She had her needles and stitching supplies with her. She filled her waiting time stitching a basket. A small crowd gathered. A woman asked to see completed samples. She liked them. Bought three.
On a flight to Washington state to visit family, Thompson worked on a basket. Before the plane landed the basket was sold.
Thompson was invited to exhibit as an Emerging New Artist at the 2007 Gasparilla Festival of the Arts in Tampa; she displayed her work at the recent Mainsail Arts Festival in St. Petersburg; and Saturday and Sunday she will exhibit at Longleaf Fine Arts on the Village Green in the Longleaf community of New Port Richey.
Thompson admits one of the hardest parts is pricing. Small baskets go for $40 to $50. Larger ones are $200 and up, with some over $1,000. Prices reflect the time it takes to make the basket.
Thompson works full time as a programming analyst for Verizon Wireless. The baskets are something to do with her hands while she watches her favorite TV shows.
What if the demand for her baskets grows? What if the pressure to produce more baskets increases?
Thompson's face grows serious and she shakes her head. "If it becomes a job then it's a different perspective."
But for now - and the smile returns - Thompson says, "It's making bigger and better and getting fancier."

Teri Thompson's baskets made from pine needles will be displayed at Longleaf Fine Arts on the Village Green in the Longleaf community of New Port Richey on Saturday and Sunday.

Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down
Community Dinner
Thumbs Up: The word came Friday that the Community Friends of New Ulm will continue to put on a Thanksgiving Day Community Dinner in town. With Jim Thomas, the founder and long-time organizer of the dinner moving to the Twin Cities, there had been some question as to whether this wonderful tradition would continue.
But the Community Friends Board of Directors, co-chaired by Les Schultz and Mary Ellen?Schanus, are determined to keep the tradition alive. There will be a dinner this year, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., at St. Mary's Catholic Church Basement. Anyone and everyone is welcome, especially those who might not have someone to celebrate with this year.
The original Thanksgiving was a community celebration, and this community dinner honors that tradition.
Great examples
Thumbs Up: Hearts Beat Back: The Heart of New Ulm has been working hard to make a difference in the community's health. One of the things they do is hold their annual Community Summit, where they will bring in an inspirational speaker, whether it is a trainer or contestant from "Biggest Loser," an inspirational coach and athlete like Dan Gable, or this year, Joe Piscatella, a man who has traveled the route from poor health habits to good health. Piscatella talked this week at the summit about needing heart bypass surgery at the age of 32, due to his unhealthy lifestyle.
It's nice to have a good example, someone who has walked the walk, to speak at these events. We have plenty of good local examples as well. Congratulations to all who are taking action to live a healthier life.
Football finals
Thumbs Up: A lot of big games were scheduled to be played on high school football fields around the state as the state's section finals were held to set the field for the Minnesota State High School Football Championship tournament.
At least two local schools will be heading into state competition. Sleepy Eye St. Mary's and New Ulm Cathedral were playing last night for the Section 2A championship and a trip to state. Nicollet and Madelia were facing off in the Section 2 9-man finals.
As this was being written, the games had not begun. We wish the winners good luck in the tournament, congratulate the losers for an excellent season, and urge everyone to cheer their teams on.

Small Cowpots™
Product Actions
Additional Information
Biodegradable, Eco-Friendly Cowpots™ for Transplants
- Completely biodegradable pots make seedstarting easy
- Transplant seedlings, pot and all, directly into garden, reducing transplant shock
- Pots add nutrients to the soil as they degrade
Plants thrive in these award-winning biodegradable transplant pots. Cowpots™ are the patent-pending invention of Matt and Ben Freund, two Connecticut dairy farmers who were looking for an environmentally responsible way to dispose of cow manure. The manure is dried, completely composted, mixed with natural fibers, and pressed into pots. Gardeners love Cowpots because they are odorless and free of weed seeds. Plants love Cowpots too, because transplant shock is greatly reduced. Best of all, Cowpots are 100% biodegradable. They last for months in the greenhouse or windowsill, but will dissolve within weeks after planting in the garden, providing essential organic nutrients. We are very excited about Cowpots, and recommend them to any gardener who wants to increase plant health and reduce waste.

Midwesterners vie for bragging rights over whose corn is the best.
In August and September, corn-loving towns swell with visitors to their annual sweet corn festivals. Some are elaborate, a little like county fairs, with carnival rides and the crowning of a festival queen; others are genuine small-town affairs with fire trucks, floats, marching bands and local dignitaries on parade. All encourage you to stuff yourself silly with corn. Corn is a source of bragging rights for Midwesterners. It�s unbelievable to me, but some people in Wisconsin or Michigan think their state�s corn is tops. Don�t listen to them. Iowa grows the best corn, and everyone here knows it, including my 11-year-old nephew. What Iowans don�t always agree on, however, is which county grows the best corn. Or, within a county, which makeshift farm stand in which little gas-station parking lot sells the best corn. (Here in Des Moines, a friend swears by the corn sold from a blue pickup truck parked outside of the bail bonds office). Iowans also don�t always agree on how to eat it. There are various camps. Me, I tackle an ear of corn typewriter style, click-clacking across the kernels in rows left to right. My husband does that weird circular thing, rotating the ear as he tackles it. It�s a wonder we ever got married. My friend�s kids eat in a sort of �patchwork� quilt motif. And then, there�s how best to cook it. The official word�from the Iowa State University Extension website�is to submerge the cobs in a large pot of boiling water. �Throw in the shucked corn, and wait for the water to come back to a boil. And the corn is done!� they say. My method is a little different. I put the corn in a kettle and cover it with water. When the water reaches a full boil, I take the kettle off the heat, cover it, and let it sit 10 minutes. Yielding nubbly crisp-tender corn, this method is a little trick I learned from a friend from�of all places�New York City. I�ve heard that some people out that way think that the best corn comes from New Jersey. Needless to say, I don�t believe them. �Wini Moranville, a food and wine writer in Des Moines, Iowa.

Aside from notebooks, pencils, and pens, a 14-year-old girl was apparently packing a gun in her backpack on Monday afternoon. The girl, who had been bullied, pulled out the gun and began to load it, when 18 year-old Kaleb Eulls, a star athlete and now local hero, came to the rescue. He was able to tackle the girl and disarm the gun, ensuring the bus rider's safety.
Eulls explains, "I just realized something had to be done, and it was just a lot of kids on the bus and [I] couldn't let anything happen to them," he said. "I tried to grab her attention, just keep her from pointing it at anyone else in the bus," he said. In a matter of seconds, the girl was disarmed before any serious damage could be done.
Reports state that the 14 year-old girl (whose identity remains private) was bullied and is now being held in a county youth detention center. She has been charged with possession of a firearm on school property, 22 counts of attempted aggravated assault, and kidnapping.

Skip to comments.The Coming Attack
Posted on 10/04/2012 7:11:13 AM PDT by Valk Rider
After the shock of Obamas butt whipping by Romney wears off a bit, I think the left-tards will circle their wagons and go into a full attack mode. The media spin machine will do everything they can to protect their failed Obama. They are capable of anything. Nothing they do will surprise me. I expect they will continue their quest to drive the left-tards to a frenzy and we will soon hear some truly scary stuff coming from some of the kook fringe if their failed master is defeated. I really hope I'm wrong.
The only way to escalate now is to riot.
So they are going to act like normal?
Obama basically flushed the Romney narrative and three months of $200 million of attacks ads down the pan last night. The theme Obama has been pushing for a while went up like a megaton nuke bomb.
They know Obama got schooled because they have protected him from the hard questions. I happen to think the liberal media will be hard on Obama so he doesn't have a repeat of last nite. What they don't get is Romney is just that good!!! It was AWESOME to watch!
This is why the Republicans need to come out with both barrels at the MSM, to let them know that they will be punished, not for their bias as such, but for blocking out anyone who objectively reports the news.
The only effective threat the Republicans can make to the media is to restore the FCCs Broadcast Ownership Rules of 1975.
FCC rules banned cross-ownership by a single entity of a daily newspaper and television or radio broadcast station operating in the same local market.
However, congress could update and expand on this to include the Internet, book and magazine publishing, movies and theaters, etc. Importantly, they could do so only if the entity owned a broadcast system, so was under the jurisdiction of the FCC. They should especially include network providers.
In effect, this would bust up the big six media companies in the US: NBCUniversal (Comcast /GE), The Walt Disney Company, News Corporation, Time Warner, Viacom, and CBS Corporation.
In effect, breaking up their oligopoly like the feds broke up AT&T.
Importantly, this would avoid regulation of the Internet directly, unless a broadcaster owned FCC regulated broadcast facilities. Then their Internet use could also be addressed.
But the Republicans need to send this message to the MSM now, telling them that their grotesque corruption of the political process was over.
I think this is what will happen next:
-A wag-the-dog bombing of an aspirin factory in Libya to try and generate a "rally around the CIC" effect is all but assured.
-Obama is going to make a major speech on a university campus, proposing that we forgive all outstanding student loan balances (in the name of "jump starting the economy")
-He will openly embrace the use of Eminent Domain and enforced cramdowns to get people out of underwater mortgages.
-Eric Holder is going to formally indict some Wall Street bankers for something to throw some red meat to the crowd.
-Romney's tax returns, by hook, crook or otherwise, are going to mysteriously turn up in the New York Times.
-Obama will, as a very last resort and under sheer duress and panic, finally make some steps towards triangulation.
This may involve making racially conciliatory remarks, backing down from his birth control confrontation with the Catholic Church, or similar.
I expect a total lie to be dropped on the public in a couple of weeks. An unnamed source will be quoted about some off the wall accusation of something Romney did while in France. It will be absurd, totally indefensible and totally untrue. But Romney will have to address it and it will probably cost him votes, i.e. the drunk driving report on W in 2000.
I am expecting Biden to dress up as Big Bird and campaign for the kindergarten vote!
7:20 AM here on the West Coast and the leftist media is already in full attack mode desperately attempting to prop up the Hinndenberg that the entire country watched go down in flames last night.
I haven't seen a sitting President get so thoroughly destroyed in a Presidential debate since Reagan vs. Carter.
Obama was saying "no mas" 10 minutes or so into the debate when he begged Bill Moyer to move onto the next subject.
Game changer and GAME OVER!
Has anyone gone to rabid democrat/liberal sites to see what the haps are?
I am expecting the MSM to call Romney Satan, anyways, it would entertain me if they tried to throw mention of angels and demons just to try and protect dear leader, just to show how pathetic they are. Obama is so far unprepared for debate he's flunking it, he simply let the media pull propaganda out of their collective cesspools for him, and he's reaping the results!
Hey...thats racist!
Just kidding...well, not—thats what we will hear. Even though its not true.
We don't hate him because he is half black.
There are just so many other reasons to hate him.
They haven't gone hard on the Mormon angle. A bit here and there, but no frontal assault. I expect that to come.
That'll be interesting, after all the effort they've expended in convincing us we should ignore the murderous Islamic primatives.
Nothing they do will surprise me.
I think all conservative know this fact well. The msm and the liberal lunitics will go crazy and that is the sign of losers - lunitic losers.
I expect some kind of racial thing, to make blacks and minorities come out to vote in force. "Church Burnings" or something.
With the next debate focusing on foreign policy, Obama could score some real points right now by dismissing Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State.
Without his teleprompter, this fag looks like a guppy that jumped out of the fishbowl, and is on it's side gasping on the rug. I'm loving it.
Thank you, Captain Obvious! :-)
I just turned on the radio and Beck is on. He was playing a clip of Al Gore giving an explanation why Obama lost the debate.
Gore...I'm going to say something controversial. Romney did his debate prep in Denver. Obama, arrived in Denver just 2 hours before the debates. Obama hadn't had time for his body to adjust to the altitude...Honest, Gore is blaming the altitude on Obamas debate defeat. I know I didn't quote Gores exact words but he honestly said something very close to what I'm saying here.
ROTFLOL!!! Priceless!!
!!!! Thank you, Captain Obvious! :-) !!!!
Yes sir, I'm a pessimist. I thought seriously about opening up a Pessimist Club next door to the Optimist Club, but I figured it would fail. :-)
!!!! yep. we should all raise the white flag and head for the hilz cuz them libs gonna whip our ass. !!!!
We mostly play fair and stick to the rules of engagement, the left-tards don't.
Romney, could come back with offering obama an oxygen tank, after AlGore's statement...just sort'a making a joke about obama and his attacks.
My concern is Obama creating a "situation" requiring Marshall Law and delaying the Election until he can get things calmed down. Stock up and Lock and Load - be prepared.
Local SF newscast:
"Post debate polls show that Mitt Romney may have won last nites debate, although we found numerous people that disagree with that assessment..."
We are toast plain and simple, we know whats coming and the roids who follow the messiah have no idea but they're in the mix with us. This is the only joy we will have in the coming years watching them feel the joys of Obama. It's over johnny! dark days ahead

City, police reach tentative contract deal
One down, two to go – hopefully.
The city of Dunkirk and the union representing its police officers have reached a tentative agreement covering a four-year period from Jan. 1, 2012 to Dec. 31, 2015. Mayor Anthony J. Dolce has called a special meeting of the Common Council that will be held at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in City Hall so council can vote on the contract with The City of Dunkirk Police Benevolent Association.
The four-year agreement the PBA is currently working under was agreed to by the city and union in February 2008 and covered the period from Jan. 1, 2008 to Dec. 31, 2011. That contract called for a 3 percent increase in each of the four years, a total increase of some 13.4 percent over the four years. In 2012 when the union was working under terms carried over, there was no percentage raise in the contract's base pay scale, according to city officials.
That will remain the case for 2012 under terms of the proposed deal. According to the memorandum of agreement between the city and union, current officers will receive no wage increase for 2012, 2013 or 2014. A 3 percent increase is scheduled for 2015.
Longevity increments of $1,050 are scheduled for officers with more than two years service for each of the last three years of the proposed deal. Each of the last three years will provide each officer with an additional $900 in insurance flexible spending, which they must designate in writing how it will be used.
Current PBA members will be picking up some of the cost of their health insurance if the contract meets council approval. In 2013, members will pay 5 percent of the premium costs paid by the city; 7.5 percent in 2014 and 10 percent in 2015. New hires start and remain at the 10 percent payment.
At the time of the current PBA deal, the city negotiated with all four unions as all their contracts came due. The PBA and the AFSCME, AFL-CIO Local 912 each reached four-year deals. The Dunkirk Professional Firefighters' Association, Inc. Local 616 and the city's management union, United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union Local Union 2693 COD AFL-CIO, each reached three-year deals, which ran from Jan. 1, 2008 to Dec. 31, 2010.
Local 616 and the city reached agreement on a new contract in September 2011 which included a 3 percent raise for 2011 and no pay raises for the next two years. In addition, the contract included union members paying 10 percent in health insurance premiums in 2012 and a reduction in staffing from 26 to 24.
The city is still negotiating with Local 2693 and Local 912 on new contracts.

Chicken Piccata
- 1 pound chicken scaloppini (about 4 ounces each)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour, divided
- 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon, zest reserved for optional garnish, about 2 tablespoons juice
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
- 1 tablespoon capers, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Baby arugula for garnish
- Whole-wheat angel hair pasta or roasted potatoes, for serving
Season the chicken with salt and pepper and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon flour.
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot; cook the cutlets until opaque throughout, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer the cutlets to a plate. (Reserve the skillet.) Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium.
Add the remaining teaspoon oil and garlic to the same skillet; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk together the broth, lemon juice and 1 teaspoon flour, and add to the pan. Simmer sauce until reduced and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, parsley and capers. Swirl in the butter until sauce is shiny and slightly thickened.
Serve chicken with the sauce. Toss the arugula and freshly grated lemon zest with a light drizzle of olive oil; season to taste with salt and pepper, scatter over chicken. Serve with pasta or potatoes as desired.

Piccata is a classic preparation for chicken, but can be heavy on your diet as it's a butter and wine-based sauce. This lighter version saves you calories by adding the zip of white wine with a tiny bit of vinegar to finish (as opposed to a cup or more simmered down), and getting the most of 1 tablespoon of butter by swirling it into the sauce at the end.

CLARION An early morning accident left one person dead and another injured just west of Clarion Tuesday morning.
The accident happened on Iowa Highway 3 around 6:50 a.m., according to Lt. Kelly Hindman of the Iowa State Patrol.
A 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager minivan, driven by Lisa Ann Berry, 47, of Rockwell City, was traveling eastbound on Highway 3 about one and a half miles west of Clarion. Hindman said a 2005 Dodge Durango, driven by Dean E. Johnson, 44, of Livermore, was traveling west on the same highway.
According to Hindman, Berrys minivan crossed the center line and crashed head-on into Johnsons vehicle.
Berry was pronounced dead at the scene. Hindman said she was not wearing her seat belt.
Johnson was airlifted to Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines with non-life-threatening injuries.
Troopers were assisted on scene by the Wright County Sheriffs Department, Clarion Police Department, Clarion Fire Department and Clarion Ambulance Service.
Hindman said the collision remains under investigation by the Iowa State Patrol.

I can't believe this, but my uncle claims to have seen none other than THE MAN while hiking yesterday off of Coldwater Canyon. At first I didn't believe him, but then I looked at Paul's tour dates, and Sunday was an "off" day, and his next show is tonight in Sacremento. My uncle never lies, and the facts seem to back him up.
The awful thing is that I almost went with him!!! DAMN!!!! That's the second time I've come THAT close to meeting my hero (the first time was a rainy day in Malibu,when I missed him by less than 2 minutes, he showed up for a stroll, right after I finished up, as was told to me by my buddy that stayed)
Just letting everyone in on my dissapointment. I guess I'll have to be satisfied with seeing the shows, right?
Oh well.[V]

County board talks capital projects, court remodel
MARSHALL – Planning for the future was one of the main topics of discussion Tuesday at the Lyon County Board's regular meeting. County commissioners held a strategic planning session to help prioritize upcoming capital improvement projects.
Lyon County Administrator Loren Stomberg said there were several areas where county commissioners needed to set some priorities and give direction to county staff. Those areas ranged from capital projects, to human resources issues and technological updates. Commissioners focused on the capital improvements portion of the list on Tuesday.
The board's agenda for the planning session included about a dozen possible priorities for capital projects in the county, including development of Twin Lakes Park and the Marshall-to-Camden State Park bike trail, parking and storage issues at the Lyon County Government Center and possible HVAC improvements at the Lyon County Historical Museum. Commissioners talked about the projects on the list but in many cases they noted that specifics of a project depended on outside factors like the availability of grant funding or interaction with other government entities, like the city of Marshall.
Commissioner Steve Ritter said the county was already involved with some of the projects being discussed. Construction of the bike trail and Twin Lakes Park is ongoing.
"Of the 11 items, I think five or six we've already committed to," Ritter said. He proposed that commissioners each make a list of their top priorities and give them to Stomberg.
Commissioners' consensus was to follow Ritter's suggestion and to come back to human resources and technology planning at a future planning session
Part of Tuesday's discussion included possibilities for remodeling the Lyon County District Court facilities on the third floor of the Lyon County Government Center. This fall, court officials told county commissioners that the courtrooms don't have the space and wiring needed to comply with Minnesota's coming switch to a paperless court records system.
Stomberg said the county has received three architects' proposals for a possible courtroom remodel. At this point, Stomberg said, "The proposals we received back are basically just statements of qualifications," including descriptions of similar projects the firms had completed for other Minnesota clients. In order to come up with more specific recommendations for the Lyon County courts, Stomberg said, the architects suggested doing a study of the facility and the court's needs.
Two of the architectural firms, Vetter Johnson Architects and Klein McCarthy, estimated a cost of about $17,500 to conduct a planning study for the remodel. A third proposal from Wold Architects and Engineers listed four basic options for the courthouse, ranging from a small-scale remodel to building an addition to the Government Center. More detailed plans would need to be worked out if the county chose one of the options, the proposal said.
Stomberg recommended that commissioners and court officials interview each architectural firm. Ritter said he'd like to hold a special meeting to talk with representatives of the firms.
"It's a lot easier if you have all three firms here, and all five commissioners can ask questions," Ritter said.
Commissioners' consensus on the matter was to work together with Stomberg and county court officials to set a date for a February meeting with the architects.
In other business, commissioners accepted the retirement of county parks worker Mark Swenson and discussed possible ways to fill in for some of Swenson's duties until a new parks worker could be hired. County Board Chairman Rick Anderson noted that Swenson removed snow from county parks. Anderson offered to volunteer for snow removal this winter in Swenson's absence. (Anderson was Lyon County parks director before being elected county commissioner.)
Commissioners voted in favor of Anderson's proposal. Anderson abstained from voting.

Pleural effusion in cats is a life-threatening medical condition that pet owners must address right away. Those who suspect their cat has pleural effusion should be sure to visit a veterinary hospital immediately.
The term refers to an accumulation of fluid around the outside of the cat's lungs. There is typically a small amount of fluid in this area, known as the pleural sac, in order to prevent the cat's lungs from sticking to its chest cavity. However, conditions such as heart disease in cats, blood clots, cancers, bacterial infections, feline leukemia, hernias and pancreatitis can cause a build-up of fluid in this area which is very dangerous for cats. Pleural effusion should be considered high on the list of cat emergencies and immediate intervention is necessary.
Clinical signs of pleural effusion include difficulty or fast breathing, loss of appetite, lethargy, a bluish discoloration of the skin and general issues with the feline's respiratory system. If your cat is showing any of these signs, bring the animal to a veterinarian as soon as possible.
If caught in time, the veterinarian can perform a procedure that will remove the fluid from around the lungs. Cats will generally need to undergo a complete work-up to determine the underlying cause of the pleural effusion. Many times a long-term treatment plan is required to effectively treat these cats. The prognosis is dependent on the speed with which the cat receives medical attention and the severity of the underlying cause of the effusion.

Simon, Cameron set to play final games in Marquette for NMU men's basketball team
MARQUETTE – Seniors Joe Simon and T.J. Cameron will play their final games at the Berry Events Center for the Northern Michigan University men's basketball team this afternoon against Lake Superior State and Saturday against Northwood.
Tonight's tipoff against the Lakers is scheduled for 5:30 p.m., while Senior Day festivities will take place prior to Saturday's 1 p.m. tipoff.
Simon, of Marquette, began his collegiate career at Lake Superior State before transferring to Northern for the 2010-11 season, which was the first under head coach Doug Lewis.
In 50 collegiate games with NMU, Simon is averaging 2.24 points and 1.42 rebounds per game. His best season came in 2010-11 when he averaged 4.3 points and 2.25 rebounds per game.
Simon, who is averaging 1.2 points per game this year, is the all-time leading scorer at Marquette Senior High School, a two-time Great Northern Conference Player of the Year and two-time honorable mention all-state.
Cameron, of Kalamazoo, transferred to NMU from Mott Community College during Lewis' second season of 2011-12 and was the team's most valuable player that year.
Known for his skills as a shut-down defender, Cameron is averaging 3.38 rebounds and 7.55 points per game in his 47 appearances and 35 starts.
Both of the injury-depleted Wildcats' opponents this weekend rolled to home victories against NMU just four weeks ago.
The Lakers routed Northern in Sault Ste. Marie, 74-44, on Jan. 24 with Cameron and Simon being two of only six players available for the game.
The Wildcats had seven players available against Northwood two days later, but didn't fare any better in an 81-48 loss.
Northern had eight players available in its most recent outing, a 66-46 loss at Wayne State on Saturday.
The 'Cats have lost 10 of their last 11 games, with the lone victory coming Feb. 2 at home against archrival Michigan Tech.
In GLIAC play, NMU, 5-18 overall, is last in the North Division at 4-15 in the GLIAC with three league games to go. The 'Cats close the year March 2 at Tech.

In September, work by Apache in the Ninilchik area came to a sudden "pause" when the oil and gas company was unable to obtain permits needed to continue its planned seismic operation.
The work camp set up in American Legion Post 18's campground was removed. The need for food services abruptly ended. Jobs disappeared that residents hoped would get them through a winter following a disastrous fishing season.
A press released issue by Sen. Mark Begich's office on Monday made it appear the pause might be over.
"U.S. Sen. Mark Begich today applauded Apache for securing a key permit allowing them to move forward with seismic testing in the Cook Inlet basin," Begich, who recently visited Homer, said in the press release. "Today the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued an Incidental Harassment Authorization to Apache. With the IHA, Apache can begin work this spring."
Unfortunately, it isn't the permit needed for the Ninilchik area.
"This permit is for an area adjacent to areas we're already working in the northern Cook Inlet," said Lisa Parker, Apache's manager of government relations.
"The area we worked was basically from Tyonek and Beluga, coming across Cook Inlet toward Nikiski. We are going to go north of that. Moose Point, down to Captain Cook State Park, is the reference point on land, but it will be the marine waters offshore from that."
Parker characterized the permit as "semi-good news" since it contains stipulations that Apache is reviewing to see "if they're conditions we can live with at this time. We have to look at the details."
As chairman of the Senate Oceans Subcommittee, Begich said he has been pushing NOAA to speed up the permitting in the last several months so work can be done this year.
"We very much appreciate the work of both Sen. Begich and Sen. (Lisa) Murkowski, working with us on not only this, but other federal issues," said Parker. "Both senatorial offices have been wonderful."
As far as returning to Ninilchik, Parker said, "The timing with which we'll be doing that, I can't answer right now. It is our intent to come back. I just don't know when."

The house and the apartment are very nice. The apartment is suitable also for a longer stay - it has everything necessary. Things are new and clean, Dijana is also a nice host.
The apartment is a bit far from the center, but the area of Zagreb is nice and we preferred to go for a long walk (40-50 minutes) and loved it.
I would recommend the place for 2-3 people.
We had a wonderful time in Zagreb and Dijana is very helpful, friendly host. Her place is nice and spacious. Thank you for making our stay in Zagreb so special.
Dijana est une parfaite hotesse. Tout était pres pour nous recevoir. L'appartement est très grand et très fonctionnel. Dijana donne toutes les informations dont vous pouvez avoir besoin et vous conseille utilement sur la suite de votre séjour si vous n'avez pas de réservation prévue. Nous recommandons cette adresse sans réserve.
Excellent accueil, Appartement très correct et notre hôte est très charmante et très sympatique.
Twee dagen verbleven voor een trip on Zagreb. Mooi ruim appartement! Huiskamer met een keuken waar alles in zit wat je nodig hebt. aparte slaapkamer met tweepersoonsbed. Schone en goede badkamer. Snelle WIFI en de auto kan zelfs in een garage staan. Bushalte/bakker/kleine supermarkt op 1 minuut afstand. al met al geweldig!
Great place just like the description. Very friendly people. The daughter of Diana has welcomed us. If you search a place like this than this is a great deal for this price. Our children had a lovely time with the dogs at the house. Little minor is the humidity in the rooms. Thank you for a lovely time.
Last weekend my son had a judo tournament in Zagreb so i stayed at the appartment of Dijana. It was a most pleasant stay in a nice quit neighboorhood. Just around the corner you can find a backary and a bus stop with wich you can travel to a nearby stationned bus station for 10 Kun ( about 1,30 euro) there you can take tram 11 with the same ticket and in 10 minutes you are in the old centrum of Zagreb. The appartment is clean and complete . My stay at Dijana was just great although it was a petty that my son did not reach a podium place
We - 2 adults traveling with a 7 year old - can recommend Dijana's place wholeheartedly. It is about 10 minutes (by car) outside the city centre in a pleasant community and village like surroundings. Shopping is close and everything worked well. The only noise comes from cars traveling down to the main connector to the city when the community wakes up otherwise it was very quiet. Due to a glitch the place was not cleaned when we arrived but Dijana's daughter took care of that while we went shopping, so it was not really a major problem. We had a rental but there was a bus line close to the house that runs in 5 minutes down to the main road from where connection to the city by public transport is easy. We enjoyed our stay and can recommend Dijana's place for somebody whose looking for a nice place not too far from the city.
Wonderful 2 weeks in Mihovila Gracanina, amazing apartman.. Thank to Dijana and her family for all..
Sincerly hoping to come back next year !!

Length vs Weight
At what point is it typical to quit describing the size of a trout in terms of inches and start talking about pounds? Also, allowing for variances due to how well fed a particular trout might be, how much would, let's say, a typical 20" trout weigh? Conversely, if while reading a magazine article or some such and see where the writer landed a 4lb trout, how long in inches would you expect that fish to be? Obviously, since my current personal best trout is around 13", I'm not in any imminent need of knowing this information, but it might come in handy some day (at least I hope so). SC
Fly fishing - it's cheaper than a bass boat!
While this is an interesting question to ponder, there can be so many variables that it would make it very hard to say what every 20" trout would weigh. The only accurate way is to use a calibrated scale. Now for a very close estimate on weight, find the length and girth formula for that particular species and plug in the values. As long as you are able to take accurate measurements, it will be fairly close to the scale weight of the fish but obviously not exact. I always want to see how long my fish are so I just tape them and could really care less about how much they weigh. I always recommend to carry a tailor's tape or some mini zinger option as a sure fire way to see if that trout is really 20"... Also, that way you can always measure and calculate the approximate weight on every fish you catch, if you so desire...
Just to give you an idea on size vs. weight, I caught a fat winter brown a couple seasons ago and that fish was 23.5" and taking the measurements, it calculated at close to 4.5lbs. If you are truly interested, it seems to me that the appropriate weight to "make the switch" is somewhere around 7-10lbs and up. The only fish in the past couple years that I have been interested in its weight, was my first steelie which I caught back in the fall. He weighed in at 11.99lbs on the scale... Now, earlier this year some lucky bait slinger landed a 24lb. brown on the Caney Fork and I didn't care to remember what the length was. So... I guess you have my answer on when I would consider looking at weight vs. length. In other words, when the fish get really big....
Tight Lines,
Some people measure fish in inches or pounds depending on the species. I've heard people refer to bass in pounds and trout in inches while others stick with pounds for all fish. I'm always interested to hear opinions on this subject. And as tnflyfisher pointed out, it is essential to get both length and girth measurements to accurately estimate a fishes weight.
Good example for this is that most fish in the 28-30" range in east Tennessee will probably weigh 7-10 pounds and perhaps up to 15. However, a fish out here in Colorado was recently caught on the Frying Pan that was around 29" and had a girth of 24"+. The estimated weight was between 21-23 pounds!
I've caught some really thin trout over the years and also some that were pretty healthy with a lot of weight. Time of year makes a big difference also. Trout will eat heavily just before the spawn in preparation for the hard work ahead. After the spawn is over they are normally significantly skinnier and eat a lot again to make up for the time away from eating...
Personally I almost always refer to trout in inches, probably because I don't normally take the time to measure a trout's girth to get an accurate estimate on weight.
Good topic and I'm interested in seeing others' opinions.
"Then He said to them, 'Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.'" Matthew 4:19
The Trout Zone Blog
Trout Zone Anglers Guided Fly Fishing
contact: TroutZoneAnglers at gmail dot com
I just go by length. It is just so much easier and no extra equipment is needed. Just get familiar with where certain features are on the fly rod such as the hook keeper or some decorative wrap and know the length from rod butt to that point. I have a white dot at twenty inches on my graphite rods. Just lay the fish next to the rod.
"Here fishy fishy."
Conveniently enough, the palm of my hand is 3.5" wide, 4+" with the thumb folded down; base of the palm to tip of my middle finger is 7"; with fingers fully spread it is 9" from the tip of my thumb to the tip of my little finger; and from the tip of my middle finger to the crook of my elbow is 16" with convenient 1" increments at the finger joints.
The reason I was curious is that in some of the books and magazines I've been reading lately the writers generally described their catch in terms of pounds (usually somewhere between 4 - 15 lbs) and I really had no feel for how big those fish were likely to be. Interestingly, most of the articles are talking about fishing in places other than the southeast. New England, Alaska, Argentina, the Rockies & Sierra Nevadas, etc. Of course, I guess if you're a writer, stories about 8" trout probably don't sell all that well, so I guess it makes some sense. Anyway, I was looking for a way to translate as a frame of reference, and you guys have been very helpful. Thanks.

When: Sept. 15-16, 2012
Where: Szeged, Hungary
Ten young U.S. paddlers travelled to Szeged, Hungary to compete in the Olympic Hopes Regatta on Sept. 15-16. Team USA consisted of four men's canoeists, four men's kayaks and two women's kayaks - all teenagers. Hundreds of athletes competed from 27 countries.
Matthew Lam finished 5th in the Men's C1 200m Final for 15-year-olds with a time of 45.957. Caleb Chuck and Zach Guay combined to place 8th in the C2 1000m Final for 17-year-olds. Lam, Chuck, Guay and Gavin Ross then joined forces to place 6th in the C4 200m with a time of 45.795.

Kristi Guay, U.S. Team Manager: "We saw some very successful races, and some great learning experiences, some highlights and some disappointments. Though some of the results were not what the athletes were hoping for, the experience they gained in international racing meant that all of them came away much better competitors."
"Team USA has hit the radar of paddling heavyweights throughout Europe. They are watching us closely and acknowledging the U.S. as a legitimate competitor."
Dan Henderson, Team Leader: "We also discussed what we need to do to bridge the gap between where we are now and reaching the podium – the volume of training, developing muscle mass, and improving our speed endurance. I believe that this group of fine young U.S. paddlers is up to the challenge. Let the good work that leads to the podium continue in earnest."

The County used the recently awarded COUNT grant under the SHARE Program (Sharing Available Resources Efficiently) to hire a full-time shared services coordinator, who is responsible for identifying areas for shared services and coordinating initiatives between county departments, municipalities, school districts, and other local agencies.
In April 2007, Mercer County held its first County Shared Services Conference as a way to kick-start the process of beginning cost-effective and efficient sharing of resources. With this grant, Mercer County can move another step forward in its mission to create a better coordinated government.
The overall goal of the Office of Shared Services is to establish substantial and long-term shared service agreements throughout Mercer County to help reduce the cost of local government to the taxpayer and improve the availability and efficiency of government services.
The office will work to identify areas where county and local government can work collaboratively to combine resources for more efficient and effective service delivery while at the same time helping to lower capital and operating costs for participating government entities, resulting in tax relief for local taxpayers.
In January 2007, the County surveyed municipalities on services they currently share and see potential for sharing, which helped identify significant areas for sharing services.
The Office of Shared Services is currently preparing for a feasibility study on a countywide Records Management and Storage Facility. The County Planning Division and Office of Emergency Management are readying to initiate shared GIS and Pictometry programs with municipalities, that benefit many facets of local government and provide opportunities for greater consolidation.
This coming summer, the NJ State Police will migrate their current network communications architecture between the State Police and municipalities. NJ Counties will become responsible for serving as the hub for network communications to municipalities. This initiative will help reduce the cost expense to the State Police and allow for increased bandwidth and enhanced applications.

The media is a-buzz with headlines highlighting the revival of deceased King of Pop Michael Jackson at the recent Billboard Awards. Jackson's estate released his new single "Slave to the Rhythm", which debuted as a holographic performance of the star moon-walking across the stage. The problem is, the hologram, isn't technically a hologram. It's an illusion that has been around for centuries.
It's an old technique known as Pepper's Ghost. It's frequently used in theater, magic tricks, and dark rides (like Disney's Haunted Mansion). The technique utilizes glass, certain angles, and special lighting methods, creating the illusion of objects seeming to appear and disappear on command.
In her article "What's Holography's Future" for DigitalCinemaReport.com, Linda Law explains the phenomenon in regards to another recent "holographic" performance of deceased rapper Tupac Shikour at the 2012 Cochella Music Festival. "This [updated technique] alone did not make Tupac revive. It required shooting in very high resolution, some amazing CG work using a body double, and the mapping of Tupac's head to the body as well as very powerful projectors that make the projected image look quite real. The fact that he moves around showing different parts of himself helps the illusion but it is still 2D… These may be quite effective and engaging and for all who have not seen an actual hologram, quite believable as holograms. I do think that with clever use of this medium many creative and engaging productions will be made."
The Tupac "hologram" reportedly cost over $400k to create, and with other stars like Janelle Monae and M.I.A incorporating "holograms" into their performances, this new niche form of entertainment has lots of potential for future growth, especially in the digital art field, utilizing CGI and the updated "Pepper's Ghost" illusion to bring back the some of our favorite artists from the dead.
Would you pay to see your favorite artist perform as a "hologram"? Do you think the Michael Jackson "hologram" was creepy or cool? Let us know in the comments.

Nice looking first attempt. I think your dough might be a touch under-fermented.CL
I have not used my 2stone in months, so my memory may be off. If I do recall correctly, I always had success with the stone around 700 or so (or less). If I went higher, near 800 or more, the bottom burned well before the top was done.I typically mixed Caputo and KABF (or a higher gluten flour), 50/50.Your experience looked the same, although perhaps for different reason than mine.Best of luck,Mitch

I never really liked The Cure in the past, but lately, they've been one of my favorite groups. The only CDs I have right now though are "The Top" and "Staring At The Sea". The former is the original pressing from Sire Records, and I plan to get the reissue by Rhino too, because I worry about playing that one too much. So far, I love:
The Walk
The Love Cats
and The Caterpillar

The naturalist, if he is true to his principles, must ultimately conclude that humanity is a freak accident without any purpose or real importance. Naturalism is therefore a formula for futility and meaninglessness, erasing the image of God from our race's collective self-image, depreciating the value of human life, undermining human dignity, and subverting morality.
The drift of modern society proves the point. We are witnessing the abandonment of moral standards and the loss of humanity's sense of destiny. Rampant crime, drug abuse, sexual perversion, rising suicide rates, and the abortion epidemic are all symptoms that human life is being systematically devalued and an utter sense of futility is sweeping over society. These trends are directly traceable to the ascent of evolutionary theory.
And why not? If evolution is true, humans are just one of many species that evolved from common ancestors. We're no better than animals, and we ought not to think that we are. If we evolved from sheer matter, why should we esteem what is spiritual? In fact, if everything evolved from matter, nothing "spiritual" is real. We ourselves are ultimately no better than or different from any other living species. We are nothing more than protoplasm waiting to become manure.
As a matter of fact, that is precisely the rationale behind the modern animal-rights movement, a movement whose raison d'être is the utter degradation of the human race. Naturally, all radical animal-rights advocates are evolutionists. Their belief system is an inevitable byproduct of evolutionary theory.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is well known for its stance that animal rights are equal to (or more important than) human rights. They maintain that killing any animal for food is the moral equivalent of murder; eating meat is virtually cannibalism; and man is a tyrant species, detrimental to his environment.
PETA opposes the keeping of pets and "companion animals"—including guide dogs for the blind. A 1988 statement distributed by the organization includes this: "As John Bryant has written in his book Fettered Kingdoms, [companion animals] are like slaves, even if well-kept slaves."
Ingrid Newkirk, PETA's controversial founder, says, "There is no rational basis for saying that a human being has special rights. . . . A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy" (Cited in Katie McCabe, "Who Will Live and Who Will Die?" The Washingtonian, August, 1986, p. 114). Newkirk told a Washington Post reporter that the atrocities of Nazi Germany pale by comparison to the killing animals for food: "Six million Jews died in concentration camps, but six billion broiler chickens will die this year in slaughterhouses" (Cited in Chip Brown, "She's a Portrait of Zealotry in Plastic Shoes," Washington Post, 13 November 1983, B-10).
Clearly, Ms. Newkirk is more outraged by the killing of chickens for food than she is by the wholesale slaughter of human beings. One gets the impression she would not necessarily consider the extinction of humanity an undesirable thing. In fact, she and other animal-rights advocates often sound downright misanthropic. She told a reporter, "I don't have any reverence for life, only for the entities themselves. I would rather see a blank space where I am. This will sound like fruitcake stuff again but at least I wouldn't be harming anything" (Ibid.).
And the summer issue of Wild Earth magazine, a journal promoting radical environmentalism, included a manifesto for the extinction of the human race, written under the pseudonym "Les U. Knight." The article said, "If you haven't given voluntary human extinction much thought before, the idea of a world with no people in it may seem strange. But, if you give it a chance, I think you might agree that the extinction of Homo sapiens would mean survival for millions, if not billions, of Earth-dwelling species. . . . Phasing out the human race will solve every problem on earth, social and environmental" ("Voluntary Human Extinction," Wild Earth, Vol. 1, No. 2, 72).
That is worse than merely stupid, irrational, immoral, or humiliating; it is deadly.
But there's even an organization called The Church of Euthanasia. Their Web page advocates suicide, abortion, cannibalism, and sodomy as the main ways to decrease the human population. Although the Web page contains elements of parody deliberately designed for shock value (for example, they "advocate" cannibalism with the slogan "Eat people, not animals"—to make the point that in their view the act of eating any animal is the moral equivalent of cannibalism),the people behind it are deadly serious in their opposition to the continuance of the human race. They include detailed instructions for committing suicide.
The one commandment church members are required to obey is "Thou shalt not procreate." By deliberately making their views sound as outrageous as possible, they have received widespread coverage on talk shows and tabloid-style news programs. They take advantage of such publicity to recruit members for their cause. Despite their shocking message, they have evidently been able to persuade numerous people that the one species on earth that ought to be made extinct is humanity. Their Web site boasts that people in the thousands have paid the $10 membership fee to become "church members."
That sort of lunacy is rooted in the belief that humanity is simply the product of evolution—a mere animal with no purpose, no destiny, and no likeness to the Creator. After all, if we got where we are by a natural evolutionary process, there can be no validity whatsoever to the notion that our race bears the image of God. We ultimately have no more dignity than an amoeba. And we certainly have no mandate from the Almighty to subdue the rest of creation.
And if a human being is nothing more than an animal in the process of evolving, who can argue against the animal-rights movement? Even the most radical animal-rights position is justified in a naturalistic and evolutionary world-view. If we really evolved from animals, we are in fact just animals ourselves. And if evolution is correct, it is a sheer accident that man evolved a superior intellect. If random mutations had occurred differently, apes might be running the planet and humanoids would be in the zoo. What right do we have to exercise dominion over other species that have not yet had the opportunity to evolve to a more advanced state?
Indeed, if man is merely a product of natural evolutionary processes, then he is ultimately nothing more than the accidental byproduct of thousands of haphazard genetic mutations. He is just one more animal that evolved from amoeba, and he is probably not even the highest life-form that will eventually evolve. So what is special about him? Where is his meaning? Where is his dignity? Where is his value? What is his purpose? Obviously he has none.
It is only a matter of time before a society steeped in naturalistic belief fully embraces such thinking and casts off all moral and spiritual restraint. In fact, that process has begun already. If you doubt that, consider some of the televised debauchery aimed at the MTV/Jerry Springer generation.

"Fascinating, Captain!"
"The naturalist, if he is true to his principles, must ultimately conclude that humanity is a freak accident without any purpose or real importance."
But, IF the naturalist was really true to his principles, WHY doesn't he accept that man may dominate simply because man is able? 'SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST?' (I guess that's where the criminal element comes in.) And have those who suggested that "Phasing out the human race will solve every problem on earth, social and environmental" really followed that thinking to its rightful end? There ARE carnivores among the animal kingdom! They would just eat each other after man was out of the picture! Which animal race would replace man in dominating the earth? "That is ILLOGICAL, Captain!"
The woman who said, "I would rather see a blank space where I am." Why then does she remain? Why is she so active? Is it not to give a reason/purpose for her being? Does not all of mankind ask, "Why am I here?" Each person is looking for that PURPOSE of existence! So they must find some cause to pursue.
I really struggle to understand all of these "self-haters." That is what they are. But perhaps that too stems from believing they only evolved from slim rather than having the high view of themselves having been created in the image of God! Why don't they just "give it all some more time?" After all, if it really took millions of years to get to this point, just give it some more time & things will evolve into something better, right? Perhaps another animal race will evolve past man & wipe us out! Or some space aliens will do so. NO, MORE LIKELY, THE GOD OF HEAVEN, CREATOR OF ALL THAT IS WILL STEP IN TO PUT A STOP TO SUCH PERVERTED THINKING. REMEMBER THE EVIL THAT BROUGHT THE FLOOD OF NOAH'S TIME? REMEMBER SODOM & GOMMORAH? God did intervene to prevent men from further progression in such evil times. And thank God that He does intervene for His children, (namely Christ's sacrifice on the cross to redeem us from our sins,) but woe to those on whom His wrath will fall!

*Shauna Bryant*
I watched a show once with my sister (I think on the Discovery Channel) about Life on earth if humans were wiped out. It was a glowing review about how 'nature' would flourish and be renewed. They actually made it sound desirable. I was disgusted, and yet my sister thought it would 'be nice' for the animals and the earth. She thought I was making too much out of the 'importance of humans'. Sometimes I think the hospital gave my mom the wrong baby. But we look too much alike for that to be the case. People like Peter Singer, the 'sick' Philosopher, believes and advocates for Apes, Gorillas, Monkeys and Chimpanzees to have equal rights with humans and to be granted all rights available to humans. Just what some politicians need, the dead vote, felons vote and you can bet they'd have animals vote too (with their 'advocates' voting for them). Peter Singer is the sick fellow who wrote that animals and people should be allowed to engage in consensual uh, er 'relationships' and that parents should have 28 days (which he now admits is an arbitrary number...gee thanks) to murder their baby. This man is totally evil to me and seems outrageous to others yet many, and unfortuantely too many, think him very logical. But he is actually a perfect example of exactly where the ideas in thinking shown in the article above lead people. Make no mistake, these people desire to 'exercise' their co-equal rights (as they see them) with animals. They are blood thristy beasts, as their own words show.
And it will culminate in Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
For as God's Word tells us Eccleisates 1:9-10 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
God Created. God Created man in His image. God IS the Lawgiver and dispenser of Grace. Those following another master hate that and their voices are getting louder. Today's 'extreme' views often become tomorrows reality.

Quoting Dawkins, Peter Singer notes: Although 'We are built as gene machines,' he tells us, 'we have the power to turn against our creators'.
Interesting choice of words for evolutionists......but look at the truth of what they are really about!
It is no surprise, that Peter Singer, an evolutionist, blames Christianity either.
2002:Princeton University philosopher Peter Singer told a national meeting of animal rights activists that "mainstream Christianity is a problem for the animal movement." Singer, who has won notoriety for his belief that homo sapiens (mankind) has no right to claim superiority over other animals, singled out "more conservative mainstream fundamentalist views" that "want to make a huge gulf between humans and animals" -- a form of discrimination he calls "speciesism."
The problem these people have is always with the God of the Bible.
Romans 1:18-32 keeps coming to mind. Especially Romans 1:22. I am convinced that once the human mind has rejected his Creator he is capable of believing anything. These people are living proof of that. What is really sad is the media attention these people get and the invitations they receive to speak at institutions of "higher" learning. God help us to counter this nonsense with the word of God to our families and friends.
Amen, Rick! That's why it is so critical to "preach the word" & arm the saints with the Holy Scripture! Eph. 6:11 "Put on the whole armor of God..." Eph 6:13 "Take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all , to stand firm. (14) Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, (15) and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. (16) In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extiguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; (17) and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God..." We know where the truth lies: God's Holy Word! What a privilege & blessing that we live in a time to have such access to His word! Praise our Heavenly Father & Creator!
Very interesting article. Thank you!
God bless,

Unconventional Wisdom: Peter Marino on the Art of Luxury
Half a century ago, Alejandra Redo used to wonder about the house hidden behind ivy-clad walls that she passed every day on her way to Catholic school. "I thought it was a secret garden," she recalls.
Years later, when she met the man who would become her husband, he introduced her to his aunt Paz Cuesta Moreno, a socialite known for her beauty. In one of those serendipitous events that might have been just a little too tidy if it had occurred in a film, Redo's fiancé brought her to the very place she had mused over as a girl. In that house, Cuesta Moreno had entertained actors who were the luminaries of Mexico's golden age of cinema. "She loved to have people here in the house," says Redo.
Alejandra Redo in the courtyard of her Mexico City home, which was designed by José Parada in the 1950s.
It has been more than three decades since the house passed to Redo, an interior designer, who remodeled it and moved in with her two young sons after she was divorced. "It's always been the house of my dreams," she says. Like the hostess who preceded her, Redo fills her home with guests and invites friends and other visitors—"nice ones, the simpáticos"—to an open-house lunch every Tuesday.
Sitting on the terrace of cantera stone that she installed, it seems almost impossible that giant, rumbling, chaotic Mexico City could stretch out for untold miles on the other side of the ivy. Redo's neighborhood, Polanco, is an oasis of sorts, where residents can walk a block or two to meet friends for a meal at a sidewalk restaurant.

WINONA, Minn. – Robert Dougherty, Vice President of Mortgage Operations at Merchants Bank, has completed his MBA at Concordia University in St. Paul.
Dougherty leads the mortgage operations area at Merchants Bank, which supports and processes mortgage loans for Merchants' 18 locations, as well as 210 other community banks and credit unions across five states that make up the correspondent mortgage banking network that Merchants Bank serves.
"I think that through the MBA experience I better developed the ability to understand issues and opportunities holistically through areas of expertise like risk assessment, cost-benefit analysis and strategic planning," said Dougherty, who has supervisory responsibilities for nearly 50 employees. "That should benefit my co-workers, and, in turn, our customers."
Dougherty has been with the Merchants organization for two years and has nearly two decades of mortgage experience.

I find your story a very, very sad one.
The Teavana store that you and your friends from the "candy store" worked in is now one of the best stores in the company. The only failure was your team's lack of ability and passion for the product. You guys ran it into the ground and what is sad is that you blame everyone but yourselves.
You should take responsibility for yourself and learn from your mistakes and stop all this mudslinging.
In this life, you decide whether you want to fail or succeed.
Choose wisely and don't judge others so freely when the blame is yours alone.

Tired of running on a treadmill or "climbing" stairs to nowhere? There are different (and, yes, fun) ways to stay in shape that are far from the same old workout routine. Case in point, Figurella.
For the Ladies
Women have different body types than men, so why would they work out the same?
Figurella is a unique fitness program designed especially for women. Developed in Sweden, it's offered at more than 500 centers worldwide, with only one center in the United States—at PGA Commons in Palm Beach Gardens.
The concept of the program is to lose inches and then maintain a slim figure, rather than bulk up with muscle.
For the workout, clients crawl into a large cave-like structure called the Bubble, which has a mat floor. Vents keep the inside of the Bubble at 98 degrees, which Figurella claims is the temperature needed for the body to work at its best. Clients keep their heads outside the Bubble and lie down as a personal trainer instructs them in using their hands or feet to pull two-pound pulleys attached to the mat. The movements are slow and repetitive, and weight is never added, keeping it a low-impact workout. Clients spend 30 minutes in the Bubble, which is equivalent to one hour in the gym.
After the workout and a shower, clients sit for 15 minutes in the SpaShell, an enclosed oxygenating steam bath that opens pores and detoxes the body.
Clients also are put on one of Figurella's five nutritional programs. Women are weighed before and after each session and often immediately lose ounces in fluids because there's no drinking water during a session. Body measurements are taken every four sessions, and women can lose roughly eight inches after 20 visits.
Figurella recommends clients come in at least three times a week until they reach their goal weight, at which point they can reduce their number of weekly visits to maintain their figure. (561-799-3600, figurellausa.com)
