Tim McGraw's 'Emotional Traffic' Debuts at No. 1!
Tim McGraw's long-awaited album, 'Emotional Traffic' took no time to claim the top spot on Billboard's Country Albums chart this week. The disc marks the superstar's 13th to top the country chart. The singer scored his first No. 1 album, 'Not a Moment Too Soon,' in 1994.
With sales of 67,000 units, according to Nielsen Soundscan, the collection notched a No. 2 debut on the multi-genre Billboard 200 chart. Tim's previous studio disc, 'Southern Voice,' also reached No. 1 on the country chart and No. 2 on the Billboard 200. The album's current single, 'Better Than I Used to Be,' is sitting just outside the Top 20. It's the follow-up to the No. 1 (and gold-certified) single, 'Felt Good on My Lips.'
"I just try to go in and find the best songs I can find, songs I really like, and try to let the music and the songs take you where they take you," Tim tells The Boot. "I don't really put any kind of parameters on anything I'm doing. It's gonna be me when I open my mouth, no matter how much I do anything different, it's still gonna be me … Ultimately, as an artist, you have to go in and cut songs you like and make them sound the way you want them to sound, and hopefully, the people will like it."
'Emotional Traffic' is Tim's final studio album for Curb Records. A legal battle was resolved in part last November, allowing him to pursue another record deal and for this album to finally see the light of day. The next part of the legal wrangling is expected to take place in July, when a judge will determine whether or not the singer breached his contract by turning the album in ahead of schedule.
Also making its debut this week is '100 Proof,' the third album from Kellie Pickler and her first since 2008. The disc bows at No. 2 on the country chart and comes in at No. 7 on the Billboard 200, selling 27,000 units in its first week. Kellie's previous albums both topped the country chart, while '100 Proof' becomes her highest-charting collection on the pop chart, as her first two albums both reached No. 9.
Toby Keith's 'Red Solo Cup' is bottomless, as it continues its reign atop the Country Digital Tracks chart with more than 1.2 million units now sold. Toby's tenure is keeping Luke Bryan's 'I Don't Want This Night to End' at No. 2, while Taylor Swift's 'Ours,' Jake Owen's 'Barefoot Blue Jean Night' and Lee Brice's 'A Woman Like You' round out the top five.
'Emotional Traffic,' by the way, is now the year's best-selling album, just ahead of Lady Antebellum's 'Own the Night.' The two acts (who have toured together in the past), will both be on tour in 2012. Lady A are already breaking attendance records, while Tim's Emotional Traffic tour kicks off on March 7 in Houston, Texas.

Here come Kentucky's most generous hunting opportunities.
Kentucky's traditional squirrel hunting season long has opened on the third Saturday of August. Next week brings that third Saturday â " Aug. 16 this year â " day one of Kentucky's "fall" squirrel season.
The season runs all the way through Feb. 28, broken only by two days of closure, Nov. 8-9, for the opening weekend of the firearms deer hunting season.
The season obviously opens in summer and runs deep into winter, but it encompasses fall and that's where it gets the name. The 195 days of hunting represent the state's longest-running game season.
And that doesn't even count the five weeks of spring squirrel hunting that Kentuckians have in May and June. There are far more days when Kentuckians can hunt squirrels than days when they can't.
Even so, the early part of the traditional fall season â " the late summer period, actually â " is when more hunters spend more time in the pursuit of the plume-tailed rodents. It's not the most productive time for taking squirrels, but there remains a strong attraction in hunting the new season's opening day and the next few days thereafter.
The only variation in regulations this year is merely the calendar shift â " the date change required for the season to begin on that third Saturday of August.
All other regulations, including bag and possession limits, are unchanged. Hunters still can take six squirrels a day, while the possession limit after two or more days of hunting is 12.
Most hunters wield shotguns for squirrel hunting, especially during the early days of the season when foliage restricts visibility in the woods. Shotgun ammunition must be loaded with shot no larger than No. 2 pellet size. Yet, hunters also can use rimfire rifles or .22 caliber handguns, muzzleloading rifles, archery gear, crossbows or pellet-firing airguns.
Dogs can be used for hunting squirrels, and some choose to follow the pursuit from the saddles of horses or mules â " all perfectly legal. With the right bird licensing, squirrels may be hunted by falconry.
Hunting licenses are required for squirrel hunting, of course, unless one is younger than 12 and in the tutelage of an adult. Kids ages 12-15 must have a youth hunting license, and all older must have a regular hunting license.
Every hunter born on or after Jan. 1, 1975, is required to have and carry certification from completion of a hunter education course. An exception is made for hunters younger than 12.
n The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources will accept registrations beginning Monday for mentor-youth dove hunts in September. The managed hunts are for youngsters 15 and under and accompanying adults.
The hunts are free but limited in the number of shooting stations available, so those who wish to participate must make reservations for available slots by phoning the KDFWR at 1-800-858-1549 7 a.m.-3:30 p.m. CDT beginning Monday.
In this region, a mentor-youth dove hunt will be held on opening day of dove season, Sept. 1, on a private field in Livingston County. The field is .6 mile east of Carrsville on Ky. 135 on the left.
Clark's River National Wildlife Refuge again will host mentor-youth hunts Sept. 6 and 7. The field is about two miles north of Symsonia on the west side of Ky. 131. Only ammunition with non-toxic shot is allowed on the refuge.
Public hunting on private fields in the program opens Sept. 6. The Clark's River NWR field opens to public hunting Sept. 8.
n The Land Between the Lakes' Woodlands Nature Station just recently held its annual Hummingbird Festival, but other activities run through the month of August to let visitors enjoy the annual hummingbird migration and swarms of the tiny birds around Nature Station gardens and feeders.
Today, Aug. 16 and Aug. 23, the Nature Station will open at 9 a.m. for 10 people to photograph hummers during their most active time of the day. They also can photograph butterflies, native plants and the center's captive wildlife, including rare red wolves. Reservations, by phoning 270-924-2020, required. Fee: $10.
At 3 p.m. each Sunday through August, visitors can view a screening of "Hummingbirds 101," a presentation in the Nature Station's theater.
At 10 a.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesday, visitors can help refill Nature Station hummingbird feeders, experiencing birds up close in a program aptly called Hummingbird Feeding Frenzy.
At 2 p.m. each Thursday of August, a bird program will show in the Nature Station theater. Screenings include "Migration Miracles" this Thursday, "Hummingbird Folklore" on Aug. 21 and "Beautiful and Bizarre Birds of Land Between the Lakes" on Aug. 28.
Programs with no stated fees are free with Nature Station admission: $6 for age 13 and older, $3 for ages 5-12, free for younger kids. For more information on Nature Station programs, phone 270-924-2299.

Brokers have maintained their bullish ratings on
UBS kept its "buy" recommendation but lowered its 12-month target price from $1.85 to $1.70 to reflect seasonal earnings risk and a stronger Australian dollar against the New Zealand dollar.
Credit Suisse kept its "outperform" rating but raised its 12-month target price slightly, to $NZ2.05 from $NZ2.00. The broker said that, while Kathmandu's earnings were very seasonally based, it believed there was potential around its store rollout and refurbishment programme and that, from a multiple perspective, Kathmandu looked cheap relative to its peers.
Goldman Sachs has a "buy" recommendation and a 12-month target price of $1.90 or NZ$2.35 on the stockp. Goldman said on a fiscal 2011 earnings multiple of 10 times, Kathmandu was cheaper than most comparable retailers in Australia and New Zealand.

INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz released her spring video message for Hoosier families today. This is the third quarterly message of the 2015-16 school year. Today's message provides families with resources and information on the 2016 ISTEP+ assessment as well as literacy resources for students to use at school and at home.
Text of the Superintendent's remarks can be found below:
"Spring is upon us and that brings ISTEP+ testing to our classrooms. As a 34-year veteran classroom teacher, I know the stress that can occur with testing. Make sure your child gets plenty of rest and a good meal to prepare for this test.
"In addition, if you have questions, please visit the Department of Education's website to review item samplers, parent resources and ISTEP+ Experience Online to become familiar with the online platform used for ISTEP+. I know this time of year can be challenging, but I am committed to ensuring that you and your child's teacher have the supports needed to provide students with a smooth and positive testing experience.
"Last year's ISTEP+ results established a new baseline for our students' progress towards college and career ready benchmarks, and I want to thank you, our students, and our educators for the hard work during such a challenging school year. I look forward to seeing student growth towards these new, more rigorous benchmarks moving forward.
"For years, I have said that Indiana needs to get rid of ISTEP+ and move to a streamlined assessment system. I am happy to share with you that the Legislature listened to the recommendations of the Department, educators and parents across the state to pass legislation that allows for the development of a new assessment system to replace ISTEP+ after the 2016-17 school year. I am excited for the opportunity to create a new student-centered assessment that more accurately reflects student performance and student growth throughout the school year.
"Student assessments should be given to gauge student performance and growth and improve and individualize instruction. Instead, in its current form, ISTEP+ has become an assessment focused on evaluating our teachers and grading our schools. That is why I will continue to work with state policy makers to remove the high-stakes associated with the ISTEP+ assessment and allow teachers to get back to teaching instead of testing.
"I am also excited to announce that students have already met and far exceeded my goal of reading two hundred thousand books before December 2016 to celebrate Indiana's Bicentennial! In only two and a half months, students read more than three hundred and fifty thousand books using the MyON Reader Digital Library. That is why I am increasing our goal. Before December 2016, I am challenging our students to read one million books! I encourage you to participate in this fun, literacy challenge at home. You can access the MyON Digital Library through the Hoosier Family of Readers website.
"I encourage you to follow the Department's Facebook and Twitter pages for updates as well as the new INschool mobile app where you can get notifications regarding my next video messages and much more. Have a great rest of the school year."

While everyone else is busy pretending they hated the season premiere of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo
and denouncing the future of America, I'm just going to go ahead and say it: I love
Honey Boo Boo and everything she stands for. She and her
Mountain Dew guzzling, cheese ball scarfing redneck family just happen to also be progressive, lovely people who teach their children that
tummies are beautiful and it doesn't matter how many chins you have as
long as you're happy.
the first episode of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," a show dedicated
entirely to documenting the ridiculousness of the Thompson family, they
proved their flippancy when they proudly weighed themselves on national
television. One of the four daughters decides she wanted to lose weight
(subsequently, her nickname is "Chubbs") and asked her very large mother
if she would join. The mother's response was music to my ears. It was
perfect. Like a choir of angels. She said, "I'm pretty happy with
myself, but for support for you, I'll do it." And fatties everywhere
rejoiced because finally someone on tv acknowledged that you can, in fact,
be fat and happy.
Lauryn said, "My mama, from her feet to her head, is enormous. What? I
mean there's no other way to describe her." It's true. June is fat and
happy and that's cool. Alana exclaimed, "My mama weighs the most in our
family because she's fat." Also true! And they all moved on and had fun with their fat mother because, as it turns out, fat people are human beings
that love and have fun and have interests too. Just like skinny people.
It is truly refreshing to see fat people portrayed as real people on television. In a world of The Biggest Loser, More to Love, Dance Your Ass Off and Mike and Molly, which all focus on fatness as a personal shortcoming or a joke, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo is (pardon the pun) like a thick milkshake on a hot day.
there have only been two episodes, and there is still much room for
error, but this season looks promising. Not only has the family proved to be
incredibly body positive, but they're progressive in other ways too.
After losing a few pageants, Alana's dad, Sugar Bear, brings her a
glammed-up teacup pig to comfort her. Naturally. Alana decides that her
new (male) pig is gay and will therefore dress in drag while
accompanying her to pageants. When her sister cries that a pig can't be
gay, Alana so eloquently replies "It can if it want to. You can't tell
that pig what to do." Preach it, girl. Granted, Alana's definition of
gay is slightly problematic (if a boy dresses as a girl he is gay-- and
vice versa), she is, after all, only 6. And this six-year-old is both
aware -- in a vague sense-- of homosexuality...and is totally chill
about it.

Fresh off the Mr. Olympia stage with his third consecutive win and claiming the title at the Arnold Schwarzenegger Sports Festival Classic Competition in Spain, strongman and world�s best bodybuilder, Phil �The Gift� Heath, sets back out on a world tour, guest posing internationally as thousands gather while lighting up the silver screen in the box office hit docudrama GENERATION IRON, now in theaters nationwide. Taking on the world�s top contenders in the niche sport, Heath battled the obstacles of life and nature to remain the holder of the title sought after by greats like Lou Ferigno. Appearances from Ferigno, Mickey Rourke, Busta Rhymes, Michael Jai White and Schwarzenegger bring the film full circle as Heath fights off rumors that he�s not fit for the crown.
Although Heath speaks modestly of his accomplishments his impressive gym workouts and weightlifting routines reveal a deeply driven competitor- Justin Lowe: The Hollywood Reporter
The Muscle Tech sponsored athlete began bodybuilding in his fourth year of college after deciding that he had reached his peak as a Division 1 NCAA point guard for the University of Denver. The �Gentle Giant� as he is affectionately called, went on to win his first amateur competition in 2003; less than a year after beginning his initial training. Heath�s competitive and passionate nature helped him remain undefeated in his amateur career and claim several IFBB Pro Competition titles not the least of which is the coveted MR. OLYMPIA title.
When he�s not training in the gym, Heath enjoys reading, playing the piano, video games and relaxing with wife Jennie, son Michael (19) and their two dogs in their hometown of Denver, CO.

It seemed like he bought everything he could get his hands on and managed to make it a part of his castle
It was a good tour and the buildings were very impressive, especially the pool that was inlaid with gold leaf. Unfortunately, due to his and his guests fears of catching polio this ended up being used by that staff and not the guests. The grounds cover over 127 acres and once were home to the largest private collection of animals in the US and there are still zebras, springboks and other antelopes roaming the park.
After the castle we headed back to Highway 1 and to start the Big Sur. The views along the coast as the road clings to the cliffs are amazing so we stopped every few miles to take some pictures. We stopped for lunch at a lodge on a cliff 400ft above the sea. Feeling quite hungry we made the error of ordering a main each. When Maud's fish and chips arrived it really was the biggest serving we'd seen - 2 whole fish on a mountain of chips - plenty to feed 3 people ! So I ate half my sandwich and took the rest to go.
We spent the rest of the afternoon cruising up the Big Sur stopping for sunset in Carmel by the Sea before heading to Monterey for the night. Being back in civilization we decided to head to the cinema and watch the new Bond film.

1) You will never get the best MPG if your throttle is EVER at WOT. If your highway cruising, your throttle is barely cracked open. That means all the porting and suchlike does NOTHING. Porting makes no difference unless your at WOT. So do most of the go-fast stuff on the car does absolutely nothing.
2) For best MPG you want to have the car at the lowest RPM at all times. Meaning that when shifting you get the car up into the highest gear as quick as possible. And also meaning that you want the tallest gears possible. Your 3.90 axle ratio coupled with 14" wheels is a problem here. What does your RPM run at when your at 70Mph? I'd bet it's pretty high.
3) If your running a catcon, then you have very little choice in fuel mixture because while the engine will be perfectly happy running on a leaner mixture, you will burn up your catcon.
4) remove weight from the car. You said you drive for work - well do you haul passengers around and people? If not, remove your seats and put them in the garage.
5) lowering is good for MPG.
6) reduce speed. Sorry to say this but I'll give you the following challenge. For 1 tank of gas, do not drive faster than 55Mpg on the whole tank. Then check MPG.
7) Does your car have a trunk mounted spoiler bar? If so, remove it - those are MPG sucks. Spoilers work by pulling energy away from going forward and converting it to downward pressure.
8) fuel is wasted every time you apply the brakes. Be forward-looking and pull your foot off the throttle way, way, way in advance of an intersection and coast to the red light.
Agreed, I'm getting around the same mpgs with a mixed commute. People don't realize just how much more fuel they suck up when you start going past 55mph. It goes down dramatically, not alittle. The difference in fuel consumption between 55 or 60mph, compared to 70 is as much as 15-20% less mpg. If you fill up your tank and drive 70mph, you'll see the needle drop below the Full mark before you even hit 50 miles driven. But if you keep the speed down 60 or below, the needle will still be at the full mark.
Not sure what kind of roads you are driving on, maybe the speed limit is 65 or 70. If so go the slowest possible without pissing people off or becoming a danger on the road. But if its 55mph and you are just speeding, slow it down. You will see more MPG gains by far then any amount of mods will get you.
Getting the best out of your car is always about how you drive and keeping your car properly maintained.

The Return to Hebron - June, 1967
Who was the first Israeli to return to Hebron in 1967? Who was the first Jew to enter the Cave of the Machpela in over 700 years? (Moslems refused to permit Jews into the Cave of the Machpela. Jews were allowed to pray outside, at the infamous "7th step". Anyone attempting to get any closer to the entrance was beaten by the Arab guards stationed there.) Surprisingly enough, the first Israeli in Hebron and in the Cave of the Machpela was the then Chief Rabbi of the Israel Defense Forces, Rabbi Shlomo Goren, z"l. And here is his story:
Rabbi Goren was present with Israeli forces as the IDF conquered the Western Wall in Jerusalem. Holding the rank of general, Rabbi Goren knew that the army's next mission was Hebron. Wanting to be among the first Israeli's in the ancient City of the Patriarchs, he joined the armed forces stationed at the recently captured Etzion Block, on their way to Hebron. On the night of 28 Iyyar, before retiring for the evening, he requested to be awoken when the soldiers began their march to Hebron the following day.
The next morning he awoke, only to find himself alone with his driver. Realizing that he had been "left behind," he ordered his driver to begin the 20 minute journey to Hebron, expecting to meet the rest of the army, already on their way.
Rabbi Goren thought it pecular that he hadn't encountered any other Israeli soldiers on the road as he reached Hebron. He thought to himself surely the Israelis had already finished the job of marching on Hebron already. Driving into Hebron, Rabbi Goren was greeted by the sight of white sheets, hung from roof-tops and windows, throughout the city. He was astounded, but understood. In the summer of 1929, Arab residents of Hebron had massacred 67 Jews and wounded many others. The 1967 Arabs of Hebron were, very plainly, scared of Jewish retaliation. So, they did not fire one shot. Instead they hung white sheets from windows and roof-tops.
Rabbi Goren quickly made his way to the Cave of Machpela. Finding the huge doors bolted, he tried breaking in by shooting at the lock, firing his Uzi submachine gun. Finally, after getting into Ma'arat HaMachpela he blew the Shofar, as he had done 24 hours earlier at the Western Wall.
Only afterwards did Rabbi Goren discover that when he left the base at the Etzion Block, the rest of the forces were on the other side of the hill, making plans for the attack on Hebron. They did not know that the Arabs would surrender. In other words, Rabbi Goren, a single Israeli soldier, single-handedly conquered a city of 80,000 Arabs. Jews had returned to Hebron and to Ma'arat HaMachpela!
Rabbi Goren hung an Israeli flag outside the Ma'ara and brought a Sefer Torah inside. The next day he received a telegram from Minister of Defense Moshe Dayan. It read, "Take down the flag, take out the Sefer Torah, and everyone who enters must take off his shoes, because the building is a Mosque!" Rabbi Goren sent back a telegram saying, "The Sefer Torah is Kodesh (holy) - it stays. The flag means to me what it means to you. If you want to remove it, do so. I will not touch it."
Dayan sent an officer into Hebron to remove the flag and Torah. On the way back to Jerusalem, the officer was killed in an automobile accident. Dayan then rescinded his order to remove shoes in the Ma'ara. (This story was told to a group of people by Rabbi Shlomo Goren in Kiryat Arba about 8 months before he passed away.)

Happy 20th Birthday ARFF!
Welcome to the ARFF Agility Club Website!
Download the premium for our May 2017 trial.
Our next USDAA Agility trial will be Mothers' Day Weekend (May 13-14)
at the Sure Fire, Westborough, MA.
The July 2016 issue of AKC Gazette "Dog People" article honors Pagey Elliott, a long time friend to ARFF Agility. The article includes a link to Pagey's Dogsteps video (1 hour) and a shorter clip.
ARFF At a Glance
The ARFF (Agility is Really Fun for Fido) Agility Club was founded in 1993 by a small group of Boston-area agility enthusiasts. The purpose of our club is the advancement of dogs and handlers in agility training, and to promote an interest in, and a public appreciation for, agility-trained dogs and agility competition.
Rachel "Pagey" Elliott, renowned author, golden retriever breeder, and dog movement expert, provided the ARFF Agility Club with a practice field at her farm in Carlisle. Her family has graciously continued that tradition since Pagey's passing in 2009. Weekly practices are held at the field from April through October, weather permitting.
Some quick ARFF facts:
- ARFF is 70+ members strong.
- ARFFers compete at local USDAA, AKC, NADAC, CPE, and Teacup agility trials in all levels from starters/PI/novice/level 1 to Masters/PIII/Excellent/Elite/level C.
- Nine ARFFers have trained and handled their dogs to agility championships. At last count, ARFF dogs have earned a total of six ADCHs, two APDs, eight MACHs, one PAX, one NATCH, and five C-ATCHs.
- Several ARFF teams have competed at World Team try outs, AKC Nationals, AKC Invitational, CPE Nationals, and Cynosport World Games.
- ARFF hosts a Labor Day weekend USDAA trial each year and periodic fun matches.
- ARFF welcomes newcomers to the sport and supports newbies as they pursue their agility dreams.
Come join us! If you and your dog have completed some previous agility instruction and can demonstrate basic safe handling practices, we invite you to apply to become a member.
Agility is Really Fun for Fido.

This vibrant seed selection produces relatively short spikes of double, cerise pink, fringed blossoms beginning in midsummer. This is a first year flowering perennial.
The shorter height of 'Fiesta Time' makes it more suitable to courtyard gardens and containers than its taller cousins.
Feel free to grow hollyhocks under Black Walnut trees; they are tolerant of the toxic juglone that is emitted through the trees' roots. Hollyhocks are best treated as a biennial or short-lived perennial.
Origin: Not Native to North America
Hollyhocks provide excellent architectural height in the garden and make good backdrops for lower growing perennials. Try growing them in the cottage garden style by planting them up against a wall or picket fence. Though their stalks are very strong, they may need to be staked if they are planted in a windy site.
Hollyhocks prefer rich, moist, well-drained soil but can tolerate short periods of drought. They need full sun to really perform in the landscape. Watch for Japanese Beetles; this plant is one of their favorites!
Hollyhocks were known for their curative powers. Because of this, it was one of the first plants brought over to North America from Europe.
Did you know that Hollyhock flowers are edible? Though they don't have much flavor, they make a showy edible garnish for summer dishes.
While every effort has been made to describe this plant accurately, please keep in mind that the height, bloom time, and color may differ in various climates throughout the country. The description of this plant was written based on our experience growing it in Michigan (USDA hardiness zone 5) and on numerous outside resources.

Not Yet Rated
3 stars out of 5 -- "Morgan clearly has a deep affection for the source material and its protagonist while, as clough, Sheen hits screamers into the back of the net pretty much every time he's on screen."
Total Film
"Sheen's typically scrupulous channeling of Clough gets the tics and mannerisms right, but also carves a moving portrait of a braggart suddenly out of his depth....Period styling throughout is on the money..."
"[The film] has an authentic aroma of English football in the Seventies....Michael Sheen nails his charismatic swagger; Colm Meaney is especially good as the mirthless Revie..."
Film Comment
"[T]his is historical fiction that continues Morgan's intriguing inquiry into the uses and abuses of power and how personalities get distorted by a taste of fame or success."
Hollywood Reporter
3 stars out of 4 -- "Well-made, with a seamless interweaving of archival footage, THE DAMNED UNITED is a straightforward character study. What vaults the film above the standard sports movie is the stellar performance by Michael Sheen."
USA Today
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "It skillfully uses some archival footage, which evokes the pitch of feeling during a match."
Chicago Sun-Times
"THE DAMNED UNITED shares with THE QUEEN and FROST/NIXON not only a writer and a star, but also a precise and satisfying sense of proportion."
New York Times
"It's no accident that Sheen displays some of the same incisive understanding of human inconsistency and political strategy that he demonstrated in THE QUEEN and FROST/NIXON: Peter Morgan wrote all three screenplays..."
Entertainment Weekly
"It's more than a detailed account of one man's petty vindictiveness in a bygone era. It's about how our hatred can consume us so deeply that we lose sight of everything."
Washington Post

Kids 3 to 5 years: Playing
Play is one of the best ways for children to learn language and literacy skills. Both play and language development are natural processes and are essential in your child's life. Through play, your child can better understand that written words stand for real objects and experiences.
Make things together.
- Make an alphabet book with your child. Draw pictures together or cut out pictures from magazines to go with each letter.
- Make letters out of cardboard and have your child put the letter under a piece of paper. Color over the letter with crayons and watch the letter underneath the paper magically appear.
- Write letters in shaving cream in the bath tub or shower.
- Use chalk to write letters or words on a chalkboard or sidewalk. Give your child a paintbrush and water. Your child can dip the brush in the water and "erase" what you have written over it with the water.
Act it out.
- Let your child act out a story with dress-up clothes, or with puppets. Pretend and dramatic play develops language skills.
I Spy.
- Play I Spy. "I spy with my little eye something that stats with the letter P. What is it?"

The Canadian Federation of Students (CFS), a national organization composed of campus student unions, purports to organize students on a "democratic, co-operative basis." When Guelph students wanted to hold a referendum to exit the CFS, they served the CFS with a petition asking for a referendum to be held to decertify. However, the CFS refused to schedule a referendum. Guelph's Central Student Association (CSA) took the CFS to court.

Breezy Point accepting letters of interest for vacant council seat
The Breezy Point City Council will accept letters of interest for an open council seat until 4:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 9. The council then will consider appointing a council member at a meeting scheduled for 5 p.m. Monday, Dec. 16.
The need to appoint a council member arose when Scott Willer resigned his seat effective in November because he moved out of the area. The council expressed its gratitude for Willer's years of service and wished him well.
City administrator Joe Rudberg told the council members they are not held to only those who submit a letter of interest, nor is the council bound to select a person who ran in the last election.
The position will be on the 2014 election ballot as well.
Public safety
Police had 207 calls in November, including 90 traffic related, five traffic arrests, 24 assist other agency, eight alarms, 16 animal related calls, four accidents, three thefts, one fire and 48 miscellaneous.
In other business Monday, the council:
• Scheduled an open house for 6 p.m. Monday, Dec. 16, and a public hearing for 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 6, for proposed sewer improvements and paving for Creek Circle and portions of Whitebirch Drive.
Cost estimates total $194,000 for road improvements and $217,000 for sanitary sewer improvements. Costs to be assessed are estimated at $10,375 per unit for both sewer and street paving.
The projects are just proposed at this point and not approved. The city will offer on its website a way for residents to comment on this project.
• Agreed to an early redemption on 2005 and 2008 improvement bonds, paying them off in February 2014 for a savings of $173,202. That includes an upfront payment from the sewer fund of $251,578.
• Agreed to make a contract offer to Heartland Animal Rescue Team (HART) after negotiating with the Brainerd animal shelter. HART raised its boarding fees from $14 to $16 per day. It kept the administrative fee at $1.50 per capita until next year, but using 2010 census figures of 2,346, that fee rises to $3,519 — a 235 percent increase for Breezy Point. HART previously used a population number of 979.
The city had budgeted $6,000 for animal control services in 2014, which includes a separate contract for animal control (dog catcher) services.
The city's finance committee — noting that the city set its budget in September — proposed a contract with HART that shows administrative fees for 2014 at $2,824 (a split difference between current and proposed amount) and 2015 at $4,179 ($1.75 fee per capita using the most current population figure of 2,388).
The council will make that offer to HART, though council members Diane Williams and Otto Schmid said the fees were steep for what the city receives.
• Renewed liquor licenses with Schmid opposed.
• Changed the name of Dakota Drive to Percheron Circle.
• Accepted two donations of $5,000 each toward the Fishing Boardwalk from the Pelican Lakes Conservation Club (PLCC). With one donation coming in 2013 and the other in 2014, the Parks and Recreation Committee seeks to move the project up for construction from 2015 to 2014. The council expressed appreciation for all that PLCC does for the city.
• Agreed to accept a $4,600 bid from St. Cloud State University, the Minnesota Highway Safety and Research Center for the city's 2008 Crown Victoria squad car, which would be used in a driver's safety training program for police officers. The money will come as $3,600 in cash and $1,000 credit for training. Two Breezy Point officers need the training this year.

Airbus Military's A400M has arrived at Toulouse-Blagnac airport, where this new-generation airlifter will continue its flight test activities.
Airbus Military's A400M has arrived at Toulouse-Blagnac airport, where this new-generation airlifter will continue its flight test activities.
Airbus Military's first A400M arrived today in Toulouse, France, where the multi-role airlifter will continue its flight test programme.
Touching down at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport following an evaluation flight performed in the Seville region of Spain, the aircraft was welcomed by Airbus Military head Domingo Urena-Raso.
This new-generation transport is built by Airbus Military in Seville, where the aircraft made its first takeoff on 11 December and has since logged more than 40 hours of flight test activity.
In testing performed to date, the no. 1 aircraft has flown at the A400M's maximum operating speed of 300 kt. (555 km./hr.), achieved the maximum Mach number of M0.72, and reached an altitude of more than 30,000 ft. It has operated extensively in both the direct and normal control laws of its fly-by-wire flight control system.
The first A400M is equipped with heavy test instrumentation, as is the no. 2 aircraft - which was handed over to Airbus Military's flight test department at Seville on 6 March, and is due to fly in the coming weeks.
A third A400M is undergoing final production ground tests before engine installation, with its maiden takeoff planned for mid-year from Seville. Sections for a fourth aircraft are arriving in Seville for final assembly, enabling it to join the flight test programme in the second half of this year.
Five aircraft will be used in the A400M's flight test and certification programme, logging a planned 3,700 flight hours before the start-up of deliveries in late 2012. Trials with three of these aircraft will be performed from Toulouse, while the two others will be operated from Seville - providing greater flexibility and taking advantage of the best weather conditions where available.
The A400M is designed to meet the 21st century airlift needs of the world's armed forces. Its use of advanced technologies enables the aircraft to perform both tactical and strategic/logistic missions, combining high speed and long-range flight capabilities with the ability to deliver payloads to short, soft and rough airfields. The A400M's large cargo hold is specifically designed to carry outsized equipment needed for both military and humanitarian disaster relief missions, and the airlifter can bring this material quickly and directly to where it is needed most.

How Long Would a Generator Last?
I know the title is a bit vague but it was the best I could think of at the moment. I'm wanting to buy a portable generator, not just for a SHTF situation, but also for hurricane preparedness. There's lots of information on generators but, since I'm fixing to leave for a 4th of July family reunion, I have little time time to go thru them all.
My question is a rather basic one. Whatever type of generator I'd buy would be powered by gas, propane, diesel, or some other type of fuel. But if you have limited storage capabilities for fuel storage, eventually your fuel is going to run out. Then the generator would be of no use.
With my financial situation, I can't afford everything I'd like to have for any type of emergency. So, I'm wondering if I should spend the money it would take to get an adequate generator or use the money to buy more of the many other items I'd need that are expensive (to me, anyway).
Of course, the generator would be very practical for a hurricane scenario because the power will be up again eventually (as it was when I went thru Hurricane Ike). But for long term use in a BAD scenario, my fuel would dry up after awhile.
I'd sure appreciate any input. I'm looking at a generator on Amazon and the reviews on it seem to make it a good choice -- especially since I have $110 worth of gift certificates for the site. But that $110 might be better spent on other preparedness items.
Thanks in advance and Happy 4th to All.

Diesel engines tend to be the longest lasting. They're also not too picky about fuel. You can burn everything in them from used motor oil to vegetable oil, etc. You can also make biodiesel fairly easy from oil crops that you can grow and process yourself.
But for long term, I think it's better to just break the dependance on electricity alltogether. A generator is great for getting your family through a week long ice storm, or for waiting until power is restored after a hurricane or something. But it's not a survival necessity, and in such a situation, really doesn't serve a whole lot of purpose anyway.
The downside is that diesel generators cost a whole lot more and are a lot larger and heavier.
I'd put my money on a solar array with battery back up.Expensive if you buy a turnkey set up....but if your mechanically inclined you can do alot of the work yourself....My son did and he's about 40-50% off the grid with 4 Large collecters tied together.

I have a diesel,and a propane gen set, the diesel will last for years running 24/7 diesel fuel will last for years the diesel gen are very expensive, I rely mostly on my solar set up I am with CO-retired you are better off with solar. good luck JT

What size genny would one need to run a small window unit AC?
Batteries will only last a few years. - such would limit solar options Post SHTF.
May also want to have a secondary way to start the generator.
|The Following 3 Users Say Thank You to 9111315 For This Useful Post:
No way to tell how long it will last. What brand is it, what motor is on it, what RPM motor is it, how well is it maintained. Most small gennys are 3600 RPM made for short term. Change that oil often, run it often under load, use sta-bil in the stored fuel.
They certainly aren't meant to be run 24-7 for very long, plus it would get expensive as they use quite a bit of fuel.
Figure out what size you need, spend the extra money for a good one, add a tri-fuel adapter so you can store less fuel and not be in line for gasoline, if there is any to be had.
These are just my opinions. I have a Generac 8000 wired to a transfer box professionally installed so no need for all those extension cords. I also have a smaller 3500 and a 5500 at my shop.
Lastly, remember these things are dangerous. Storing gasoline is dangerous. They also put out carbon monoxide, a lot of it. Install a battery operated CO detector.
|The Following 4 Users Say Thank You to fire65 For This Useful Post:
A generator can last a lifetime as long as it is well built, well maintained, and not abused.
I was told to watch operating RPM on any diesel genny I was pricing. Main thing is to figure how many watts you need. I have a LOUD 6500 gasoline genny that ran about $700. I bought a Honda 5000is last week for $3400. Much quieter!
I sell produce and have 8 freezers full. Saturday the lights went out for four hours and this 100 degree heat started raising my temps pretty quick, but senior Honda saved the day. Left that noisy one out in the barn.
|The Following User Says Thank You to Eastex For This Useful Post:
That said a 5000 BTU is about 550 watts, a 8000 BTU is about 800 watts therefore it does not need much of a generator. Something in the 2500 range would do it.
Regarding Generators. All the portable generators are rated for standby use. A continuous duty rated generator will be much more expensive and generally be diesel powered and 3 phase 480V.

I just got a generator that would be for short term outages and I figured it out like this.
I would only need a few hundred watts for things like cell phone and battery charging, a laptop computer, a light or two, a fan, whatever. I wouldn't need these things 24x7, just occasionally. The biggest wattage items I would need (want) are my fridge/freezer, a small microwave and maybe a coffee maker. To do all o f this stuff would take running the generator maybe 2-3 hours a day specifically for the fridge/freezer to keep stuff from going bad too fast. The microwave and coffee maybe a few minutes per day. Miscellaneous stuff again an hour or two per day. I figured that I would only need a maximum of 900 watts at a time, so I bought a small 1500 watt generator. I could have gone bigger, but they burn through the fuel faster too. Mine is rated to run at half-load for 9-10 hours on a tank of gas. It has a 1.3 gallon tank. I can store 7 gallons of gas (and do so) with the 2 containers I have.
Since I would only be running the generator for about 4-5 hours per day at 30-60% load I can theoretically go for 2 days or so on a gallon of gas, so 7 gallons should see me through a 10-14 day emergency. If I only get a week out of it, it still better than nothing, as it saved my fridge/freezer food from going bad before I could eat it all.

we have one which can run the fridge/freezer or the furnace, enough to get us through for a week or 2, and useful in all the small shtf power outages we have here in central IL because of tornado, storms, blizzards, whatever. We won't be counting on it long term because it will draw attention to the fact that we may have more than our neighbors...
after the 1st 2 weeks or so, no genny and lie low. but it is a useful part of the plan and has saved us several fridges and freezers full of food, and kept us warm several nights when we otherwise would have been very cold. as a tool, they surely have their uses. We just don't count on it as anything other than as an alternative stopgap measure.

I have one from sears it was 800 is 5600 with an 8600 surge its hooked up to the power pole and when we loose power (like once or twice a week around my area if someone passes gas the wind blows the lines down) we tunr it on it run everything in the house exept central ac and water heater but runs a window unit it runs about 12 hrs with 5 gal gas

I have 3 generators. I have a Honda 2000ei that I got to power my Truck camper when out in the boonies. It will power the AC and fridge but not the Microwave and AC at the same time. I used this one during IKE 24/7 for a week.
When they said we were going to be without power for another week and a half I got a 5700 watt McCulloch to power the Wash Machine and other items. I have since converted this to a Tri-Fuel and keep it at the house.
I just go a 10000 Watt Briggs and Stratton with a V-Twin engine. This one is to power my RV with twin AC's at my Retreat. This one is very nice and I am looking into converting it to Tri-Fuel also. I will only need it for the AC's during the summer. I have Solar to do the rest or use the Honda for Coffee/Microwave during the Fall, Winter and Spring.
That said I would get a good Briggs and Stratton Generator in the 5700 to 6500 range for post Hurricane or temporary power outages. The Honda was really nice during this time as no one even knew I had it or that it was running.
There are ways to reduce the noise level of the bigger portables. I stack hay all around mine and this cuts down the noise tremendously. But in a subdivision even this would alert your neighbors to the fact that you have one. But then everyone will be using theirs also. They were all over our neighborhood after IKE.

I have been looking at add the Efoy model Menthol fuel cartridge set up to my power needs to charge the battie bank in those winter month's where the sun is not enough ..
Goggle there name Efoy and you see the maker and model of there system .They can be used in a home as long as the air is flowing and you have a bucket under the unit drainage outlet to catch the water that it produces.
The model i was looking at is the Efoy 220 model it there largest model and it runs about $8900.oo dollars and yes i know that is a bit much for the unit but there is reason why i chose it ..
1-it can be run indoors and not have a problem
2-the fuel cartridge is design for plug and play set up
3-the diff sized fuel cartridge comes in the following sized M5-5-liter's of fuel-M10-10-liter's of fuel-M28-28-liter's of fuels
4-it the size of a mircowave oven for compactness and protable use ..
the cost of one M10 fuel cell is about $69.oo dollars and yes that is a costly unit to fuel .But my use only one a week to charge the battie bank it should last me about two months before it need to change it out ..
The design is beening used in the remote areas to charge the socalled oil field unit battery remote unit's . AS one person put it ..It can go for a couple of months of basic everyday chargeing before i need to change out the fuel cell on the unit ..
This gentlemen battery bank was 8 12.volt 140.amp hour batties for a remote oild field tracking pipe system and it keeped them charged every four days it ran and it ran for about 7 hours in a day to charge the battery's in the houseing unit ..
The cost is a big plus for the people but in the long i like the fact that it can be ran indoor's and that way i can keep a eye on it for those times when you need to have power but do not need to anounce to the world you have power ..
the picture of the unit in the snow is from western Canada in the oil field
here is a few picture's of the unit .

I have twin Devilbiss 6750 gas generators. During the floods of 2008 I ran both of them virtually non stop for 30 days. I still have them they are fine. They are splash lubricated so I changed the sae 30w oil every 100 hours of use, in other words "alot" Diesels or propane are probably the way to go but they are indeed pricey.
I guess the watch word here is maintenance...I have a used oil heater so it was a win - win...Both have 10 gallon gas tanks and at 50% load will run 24 hours.
Edit - FYI - I was going through about 100 gallons of gas per calendar week. In a SHTF scenario I think that would be hard to maintain. Fuel wise I am concentrating on wood and kerosene.

For a small generator the honda eu2000 is a good choice.
I run mine out on the beach to power an a/c in a truck camper and it will run about 10 hours on less than a gallon of gas.
I have a 9k gen with a kolhler at home but it wolfs down fuel (gas) at near 1 gal per hour
Its to expensive to even use it for more than a day (60.00 ish)
Im thinking of selling the 9k and get a 5k honda.....

Many good opinions have been given here on which generators and how to calculate loads. I was in your same position about 10 years ago, wondering if I should get a generator or have alternative means of light, power, etc.
I think a lot of factors come into play, and some have already been touched on in this thread. I don't know your personal situation at all, so I'll just list some ideas to consider:
1. What is your home location like? E.g. - are you urban, suburban or rural? Will your neighbors also be likely to have generators, or will they absolutely pinpoint the engine noise straight to you?
2. What is security around your home? I would never leave a generator running unattended, and I would never leave it out unattended either. This is due to the slight risk of fire as well as the moderate risk of theft.
3. What do you intend to want to run on the generator? E.g. - are there easy substitutions for what you want to run on generator power that you could run on battery or solar power? There are battery operated fans galore, but I never heard of a battery operated window AC unit.
4. Are you able and willing to store a good quantity of fuel? This is an investment in properly vented storage containers, the fuel itself, and fuel stabilizers where needed. This also means having a safe and dedicated space for storage of the fuel as well.
5. Are you physically able to lift a generator and put into place (there are rolling carts for many models) and able to lift a gas can and pour fuel? Are you able to do your own maintenance on the unit?
6. Are you willing to maintain the generator in periods of disuse and do a periodic generator start to run it and check for issues?
7. Are you willing to put the cost into accessories, such as the necessary heavy duty power cords that you will need to run the appliances you deem as necessary? If so, please get these cords at the same time you get the generator and store these together. Do not count on getting these power cords later, because these will be near impossible to find in a local emergency situation.

You have to really have a passion for color match, either that or a serious God given talent.
You mention the sun over artificial light, the guys are work KILL ME they use that F-ng light all the time! The sun is right out side, and there they are using that F-ing hand held light. GRRRRRRR no wonders they can't match worth a crap. And Ray, another thing is using the clear you are going to use on the frigging car! The film thickness, the yellow (I know it shouldn't be there but it sometimes is) of the clear, it is very important to dupicate exactly what you are going to do on the car it's self. What sense does it make to spray the color different than how it will be sprayed on the car?
And of course practicing spraying it out with the same air pressure and distance. Again, I have seen guys bombing it on the spray out card coat after coat seconds apart just inches away so it covers fast. Are they going to paint the car that way? How do they expect it to match?
I have a guy I work with who has beached about the paint not matching when he has sprayed a spray out card that DID match. What do you say to a guy like this? I calmly asked, "How could the spray out card match and the paint on the car doesn't"? SOMETHING changed between the spray out card and the car, SOMETHING changed. He honestly believed it was the paint that somehow changed, I am not making this up!
Oh now you have me started, I need to go relax.

PHC CEO Talks About Joining Medisys Network
Robert V. Levine, CEO and president of Peninsula Hospital Center, sat down this week to discuss the joint effort announced last week with MediSys Health network and the impact it could have on the community and the services it provides.
The addition of Peninsula marks the fourth hospital and a third nursing home to join the health network, which includes Jamaica Hospital, Flushing Hospital and Brookdale Hospital in Brooklyn.
It is the relationship with Jamaica Hospital, which serves as the Level One Trauma Center for the entire region that helped the deal come to between that hospital and PHC come to fruition.
Peninsula Hospital realized they already had a relationship with Jamaica Hospital and decided it was time to expand on it and bring better services to the people of both areas. By being in the same network, services can be shared that would not have necessarily been available to either hospital in the past, Levine said.
The bottom line, Levine says, is that the merger means more choices in health care and better service options for the peninsula. Something the people of Rockaway have long been calling for.
That's where MediSys comes in. The partnership actually began last fall with Jamaica Hospital sharing clinical programs with Peninsula.The partnership has the benefit of expanding graduate and medical education opportunities. Each hospital in the network also has unique services that can be referred to patients, such as neurological services that Peninsula Hospital currently doesn't have.
"This partnership provides a link to advance services while continuing to be independently operated while part of the MediSys team," Levine said. "Our goal with this partnership is to look for opportunities to improve our services."
"We feel extremely positive about this because it gives us a chance to grow with the peninsula," Levine said. "We can't be more thrilled. Our community is growing and we know that as the community grows, our services will be in demand more."
As part of maintaining their operating independence the Peninsula Hospital Center governing bodies, which includes the Board of Directors and the Community Advisory Council, will remain in place to ensure that the needs of the community are still heard despite being part of a larger health care network.
Levine didn't comment specifically about whether this partnership with MediSys would mark the end of a potential merger with St. John's Episcopal Hospital, as suggested by the 2007 New York State Berger Commission report.
"We will continue to work with St. John's and have a very open relationship with them as well as the Addabbo Center," he said.
But Levine says he envisions in the near future, an improved emergency room to accommodate the rising population on the peninsula. The emergency room was last upgraded five years ago, but since the population is rising at such a rapid pace, Levine feels this is an essential element that will have to be addressed in order to keep pace with the growing community.
A key component to the network is the idea of expanding and sharing services offered to patients. Existing shared services include the clinical rotation of Peninsula's graduate students at Flushing Hospital Medical Center. Other areas will be explored, clinical and non- clinical, such as improving the Information Technology of Peninsula Hospital Center, with possibilities of significant upgrades in the aspects of their health care management.
MediSys Health Network is a not-forprofit organization.
It is made up of 10,000 employees, 1,200 acute care beds, including 129 psychiatric beds and 652 long-term care beds, 16 ambulatory care centers, and an Advanced Center for Psychotherapy, as well as the Trump Pavilion and Schulman Schachne Nursing and Rehabilitation Centers.
The network is one of only four centers for Bioterrorism Preparedness in New York City and boasts the first and only Transitional Care Unit in the metro area, three state designated stroke centers, two Level One Trauma Centers, and TJH Medical Services, the eighth largest physician group. MediSys currently manages more than $1.3 billion in annual revenue.

Re: st: optimal bandwidth in Stata 8
Mon, 15 Sep 2008 12:53:05 -0400
Benjamin Villena Roldan <firstname.lastname@example.com> :
The Methods and Formulas section of the manual entry [R] kdensity is
quite clear: the default bandwidth is .9*N^(-1/5)*min(sd(x),
IQR(x)/1.349) which is not globally optimal in any sense. The Methods
and Formulas section of the manual entry [R] lpoly shows the formula
for the "asymptotically optimal constant bandwidth" used there (also
not globally optimal). You mention kernreg and kernreg1 which are not
official Stata, so you would have to read their help files, read the
ado code, or contact their authors for more detail. The -locpoly-
command on SSC enjoys a special status; it is not official Stata but
is written by Stata staff (way before -lpoly- was introduced). If you
view "http://www.stata-journal.com/software/sj6-4/st0053_3/locpoly.hlp"
in Stata, you will find the hilarious throwaway line:
If width() is not specified, then the "default" width is used; see [R]
kdensity. This default is entirely inappropriate for local polynomial
smoothing. Roll your own.

idk what the rule is but dep is everywhere between the bridges...
Does Ct have one? no problems all summer long till this past sat. at the old saybrook ramp. either a statey or Dep yelling at me and everybody with a go fast w/ no mufflers at the ramp. yes it was 11 am on sat, crazy busy and filled w/ a** holes who left there boats on the dock for what seemed like eternity while they got there boat ready, blocking the ramp. took me an hour to get out of the water. statey was gone by the time I got out. Looked like a real prick. Whats the rule??????
idk what the rule is but dep is everywhere between the bridges...
Regs state you are supposed to have NON SWITCHABLE mufflers on all boats sold in CT....even if it came stock with none.....like mine.
NOTE: Exceeding noise levels is a serious problem.
Marine Police will be targeting areas, especially on the
Connecticut River, to check for compliance. Exceeding noise
levels will result in a fine of $220. Failing to submit to an
on-site noise level test will result in a fine of $435.
Subsequent failures to submit will result in a fine of $535.
Mufflers (Noise Levels)
No one shall operate a motorboat on the waters of this state unless
the boat is equipped with a muffler or muffler system allowing it to be
operated in compliance with state law.
Noise levels range from 90dB(A) for older engines to 88dB(A) for
engines made after January 1, 1993. Any marine police who believes
a motorboat is being operated in excess of the established noise levels
may request the operator to submit the motorboat to an on-site noise
level test. No person shall sell a motorboat which does not operate in
compliance with the established noise levels. Boaters should contact the
Boating Division if they are selling a vessel used only in marine races.
No one shall operate a motorboat on the waters of this state that is
equipped with a muffler or muffler system cutout, bypass or similar device
that prevents the motorboat from operating in compliance with state noise
levels and without authorization from the Commissioner.
never had a problem...........
thanks Sonic.
I guess I just have to stay out of the OS ramp around mid day sat or sun. I have come in to the ramp with at least 6 or 8 state troopers there lookin for DUI's. Never once had a problem w/ noise. Be aware..... the state is low on funds so they might be crackin down on anything they can get to increase $$$$$.
Maybe they should be more concerned with people smashing into eachothers boat small trailers taking up space across the street and bass boats loading w the engines and washing out the launches!
This is why we need the cpba to help watch regs that affect us all in. CT
maybe there wouldn't be a muffler ban if we had a club sooner?

As a follow-up to the May meeting: We had mentioned the Charlotte Linux Users Group (CharLUG). Shay and Tom drove to Charlotte and found that they were facing many of the same challenges that we are. They had eight people at the meeting, four of which were first-timers (Those numbers include Tom & me). From what we gathered, they have the same problems getting people interested in attending meetings that we do. One thing they do which was noteable is that they have two meetings per month. One on the third Tuesday, and one on the first Saturday. They said that the groups of people who attended the different meetings were largely different people (not much overlap.)

I'm making a pilot cap. Pattern says:
Cast on 41 stitches and knit rows 1-4. DONE
*starting with row 5, be sure to slip (as if to purl) the last 3 stitches on each row.
Row 5: knit 20 stitches across, place marker, M1, knit 1, place marker and knit remaining stitches. ---So, I've done everything, but when I got to the last 3 stitches, instead of knitting them, I slipped them from the left needle to the right needle purlwise. Isn't that what I was supposed to do???
But, then when I turned my work to start row 6, my working yarn is 3 stitches ahead of the first 3 stitches. Am I making any sense???
Help, I'm so confused!!!
I would let the yarn drape across those stitches and work them at the beginning of the row. Looking at the picture (I'm assuming it's the Little Turtle Knits pattern?) it looks like those edge stitches are only knit every other row. That's what I'd do, anyway. It probably keeps the front from being too floppy. Or, come to think of it, if you let the yarn pull tight on those stitches, it will create a little hem.
Oh, OK, I'll try that!!! Thanks!

I am 6 months post op from a full tummy tuck. A protruding hard knot formed under my belly button but above my scar. Its not sensitive at all. I thought it was scar tissue forming, but now I'm not so sure. What could this be and how can I get rid of it? Does it have anything to do with the bump forming on my scar?
Knot Protruding Under Belly Button but Above Scar? (photo)
Doctor Answers 8
Knot After Tummy Tuck
The knot is likely a suture knot with surrounding inflammation. Removal by your plastic surgeon is best. The healing should be uneventful and should not compromise your end result. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
Web reference: http://www.hughesplasticsurgery.com
Knot Protruding After Tummy Tuck
Thank you for the question. The knot or bump is most likely a reaction to sutures placed deep to the incision. Your body will sometimes form a cyst that might become infected. You should return to your surgeon for excision.
Knot Protruding Under Belly Button but Above Scar?
This is a residual suture retention cyst that needs excision ASAP or it will continue to enlarge and could become infected. Seek removal
You might also like...
Possible suture knot following an abdominoplasty
The bump in the central portion of your scar is most likely a suture knot that is possibly infected and needs to be removed.
Bumps after tummy tuck
While the bump along your incision represents either a reaction to suture (more likely) or an ingrown hair (less likely), the bump below your belly button probably represents a fluid collection or an area where fat under the skin did not get enough blood flow and is inflamed. If it is due to fluid your doctor may drain it with a needle. If it is firm and due to fat then massage (and time) may help. Best of luck.
Bump on abdominoplasty incision
This is a spitting suture or a granuloma. If you can feel the suture then extracting it will usually resolve the problem. If there is a feeling of fluid under the skin there may be a localized infection as well. This should be expressed and the suture removed if present. Your scars look also raised and red. You should use some compression such as the Gelzone wrap. This will calm the scar down and flatten it.
Bump on scar after tummy tuck
I agree with Dr. Gottlieb. Your skin is likely reacting to a suture under the skin, causing this scar to form. Your surgeon can correct this under local anesthesia. He will make an incision over the bump, remove the suture, and remove any excess scar tissue that formed. Best of luck.
Knot Protruding Under Belly Button but Above Scar?
This looks like it may be a suture granuloma. There is likely an undissolved suture under this that your surgeon can remove in the office with some local anesthesia. Call and make an appointment, let the surgeon know the problem so there will be enough time allotted.
All the best.

Date of Stay: May, 2010
This is a nice park, no where near Blue Mesa Reservoir though as we thought. This is a large park and much more metro than what we like. All the amenities were good and if traveling this is a good place to stop but not really a destination.
Date of Stay: May, 2010
We were going to stay just for the holiday weekend but ended up staying for 10 days. We loved this park! The views were fantastic! We used 50 amp service with no problem and changed sites after the holiday weekend and still had 50 amp service. From what we saw all sites had 50 amps or better with water and sewer hookups as well as a picnic table and fire ring with grill. This is a true Rocky Mountain gem with a rustic touch. The pay shower was clean and unlimited in time unlike the showers at the state campgrounds just below by the marina. The store was great and informative. All of the people that worked at the park were quite helpful and nice. This is the perfect place to camp if you are looking for a base to check out Blue Mesa Reservoir, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Currecanti, Crested Butte, Ouray, and Ridgeway. We drove to all of these places and were back before dark. We will go back and would highly recommend this park to all.
