Thanks for starting this thread Jamie.
I try to make Wednesdays a no drive no spend day. I have lots of housework to do, my bible study to work on and other correspondence to do. Hope everyone has a great "hump" day.01-27-2010, 10:03 AM #3
Good morning! I've got 2 of the 3 kids off to school, and now I'm getting ready to leave for work and to drop off #3. YAY! I REALLY need to pay some bills after work, and finish writing some thank-yous. Supper will be easy tonight- hot ham and cheese sandwiches and parmesan oven potatoes. I'll TRY to make it a no-spend day, although I should pick up some type of snack for dd's school snack day on Friday. We'll see...
Have a great day, all!

I was up at the crack of 10am (confession time, I was up until 4am cruising my secret obsession on the internet- missing persons websites, I keep thinking I'll solve a case someday)
Talked to my new employer - my 'noon to midnight' shift with my new client has morphed into 6a-6p, and that is NOT what I signed up for. Gotta do some re-arranging of the schedule to accomodate that!
Swim parctice, Bible study tonight

This was supposed to be a day off, but it's fallen through. I have to open the library at 6:30 a.m. this Saturday instead of going in at 3p. I'm owed a few hours, so I'll use some of that to leave an hour early Friday night, and to shorten the shift on Saturday, probably adding some leave time to it as well. Is total sleep deprivation a reason to use sick leave instead of vacation leave? I'll probably still be doing it on 3-4 hours of sleep. Not turning out to be a good week.
I did a lot of cooking yesterday, and plan to do nothing today until I go to work except play on the computer and crochet. My consolatino prize for losing my extra day off. At least that will be fun.01-27-2010, 12:16 PM #7

Tata Power has been associated with the growing legacy of Mumbai as a business city for almost a century now. Mumbai's growth has been literally powered by Tata Power's reliable power supply. The Company has since spread its footprint across the country and abroad. Outside Mumbai, the Company now has generation capacities in the States of Jharkhand and Karnataka and a Distribution Company in Delhi. The thermal power stations of the Company are located at Trombay in Mumbai, Jojobera in Jharkhand and Belgaum in Karnataka. The hydro stations are located in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra and the wind farms in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Karnataka. An optimum mix of hydel and thermal capacity enables the company to supply power at competitive tariffs to its customers. At 1.9% the Company's transmission & distribution losses are among the lowest in the country. Also, at the core of reliable power supply to the city is the unique 'Islanding' system pioneered by Tata Power, due to which the city of Mumbai has the advantage of assured uniterrupted reliable supply of power. In case of a grid failure, an "Islanding system" ensures power supply within the city limits.
The Company's growth plans include steady capacity addition year-on-year, taking its current installed capacity to 26000MW by 2020.
The progress on Company's upcoming projects is as follows:
Haldia Project:
126 MW Dagachhu Project : In partnership with the Royal Government of Bhutan (RGoB), the Dagachhu Project is progressing as scheduled. All major orders for the project have been made. All statutory clearances - land, water, and environment - have been received. The PPA for the entire quantum of power has been signed for the project. The first unit is targeted to be commissioned by monsoon of 2014.
Partnership with SN Power : Tata Power has signed an exclusive partnership agreement with SN Power, Norway, to set up joint ventures for developing hydropower projects in India and Nepal. Tata Power and SN Power are developing Dugar hydro project and are pursuing project opportunities in the vast hydro potential available in the Himalayan region. The partners aim to have 2000 MW under construction or in operation by 2015, and a total of 4000 MW by 2020.
1600 MW Coastal Maharashtra Project : During the year, Tata Power has made substantial progress in the Coastal Maharashtra Project. The Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R & R) Authority of the Government of Maharashtra has approved the R & R proposal made by Tata Power. Land acquisition has commenced. The plant is expected to be commissioned within four years of land acquisition.
Tiruldih Power Project, Jharkhand (3x660 MW) : The process of land acquisition in Jharkhand is expected to take around 12-18 months. In principle, clearance has been received from the Railways for the transportation of coal from Tubed Coal Block. This block has been jointly allotted to Tata Power and Hindalco in Jharkhand.
Kalinganagar, Orissa 3X67.5 MW (Gas based) +3X150 MW (Coal+gas based): The project is being executed through Industrial Energy Limited, a JV of the Company with Tata Steel Limited in the eastern part of Orissa.
236 MW Dugar Hydro Project: The Tata Power - SN Power consortium won the bid for 236 MW Dugar Hydro Power Project in Himachal Pradesh. The run of the river Dugar Hydro Electric Project will primarily feed the Northern grid. Currently, the project is being optimized for 380 MW.

Renewable Projects :
Tata Power is consistently working towards innovating and implementing eco-friendly technologies, and undertaking various projects under the Clean Development Mechanism, including wind power projects and various small-scale energy efficiency projects. Tata Power's power plant emissions are well within the norms laid down by the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Committed to complying with all regulations pertaining to the preservation and enrichment of the environment, Tata Power uses world-class innovative and environment friendly technologies.
Wind Power : Tata Power is the leading private wind generation company with an installed capacity of 470.6 MW and has added another first to its credit by commissioning 2 MW-class wind turbines designed by Kenersys Gmbh of Germany, manufactured and installed by Kenersys India. Currently, Tata Power's wind power capacity is spread across five states - Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamilnadu, Karnataka and Rajasthan. Another 180 MW of wind projects are under construction in the states of Rajasthan (Dalot 100.5) and Maharashtra (Pethshivpur 49.5, Visapur 32 MW). In addition, Tata Power through Cennergi, is developing two wind projects totaling 234 MW in South Africa.
Solar Power : The company has set up a solar capacity of 25 MW in Pallaswadi, Maharashtra to meet its solar renewable purchase obligation.
240 MW Sorik Marapi Geothermal Project : The Tata Power (47.50%) led consortium along with Origin Energy Ltd., Australia (47.50%) and PT Supraco, Indonesia (5%), won the Sorik Marapi geothermal project in Northern Sumatra, Indonesia. The Sorik Marapi project is estimated to support the development of approximately 240 MW of geothermal generation capacity. The project will be developed by PT Sorik Marapi Geothermal Power (SMGP), a Special Purpose Vehicle formed by the Consortium. The project is in the exploration phase..

Volunteers need to start Brea PONY league
There are 39 comments on the The Orange County Register story from Oct 7, 2009, titled Volunteers need to start Brea PONY league. In it, The Orange County Register reports that:
A group of parents are trying to get a PONY Baseball league started in Brea. While the league is in the formative stages, volunteers are needed to fill a variety of positions on the board.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at The Orange County Register.

There is already Little League in Brea they do not need PONY!!! The city should dis allow this to start- Pony has no =boundaries and this not fair to let other use the fields that are not really benefiting children from our own city.
#2 Nov 6, 2009
I guess with that type of thinking, we should no let anyone outside of the city join BREA Aquatics because the pool is at BREA Olinda High School. Or maybe we should only allow BREA residents to shop at the BREA Mall, or drive on BREA streets. BREA Little League has it share of problems that just won't go away. Maybe new ideas, some new management, and good old competition may wake up the self centered folks that run the BREA Little League. PONY has worked well for our neighbors in Placentia for years now. Give these people a chance to make it work!

DAK, you don't know what you are taking about....but it is probably not your fault. You're probably just repeating what's been told to you.
Over the last two years, BLL has had an 80% turnorver of their BOD.
It might surprise you to know that those that have pushed the hardest to "force" this issue on the City are the same people who could not get elected to ANY Board positions at the BLL General Meeting in Sept.
What you, DAK and others who have been lied to cant figure out is that this is not an issue of Liitle League or PONY; it is an issue of resources. The City does not have the resources to allow (accomodate) two similar but different youth baseball organizations simultaneously.
Nobody in leadership at BLL has a problem with PONY baseball. The same cannot be said about the core leadership for Brea PONY Baseball. We are definitely talking about people who do not represent the finer qualities of the average Brea citizen. Examine their track records; find out how many games they have been ejected from or suspended for. A few of the members or the core leadership group for Brea PONY have the highest number of requests from parents to have those managers BLOCKED from being allowed to draft their children. These people are forced to start their own league as they couldn't/wouldn't be able to get past the integrity test of an existing league.
Sadly, for all those who will be fooled into thinking PONY is the answer, changing to PONY will not change the character of these people. And when the league blows up, in typical fashion, they will blame someone else.
I was there at BLL last year; Ive been there for several years. I never heard a negative thing with the exception of situations surrounding the people you will now find on the BOD (or married to someone on the board or someone hiding in the shadows) at Brea PONY Baseball.
Placentia PONY is a well run organization by people who appear to have integrity and a sense of community. Good luck with your season at Brea PONY. I truly hope your son is not adversely effected by your uninformed decisions. With any luck he may even still like baseball when its all over.

My goodness OFU. Where do you get your facts? Oh wait that's right Brea Little League Board of Directors make up their own rules and statistics. What are you so afraid of? Is this your company losing money? Of course it isn't? If you had all your facts correct you really wouldn't be commenting on this at all. Youre just scared of what you don't know? Were you bullied as a child? Are you afraid of real baseball and you wouldn't know how to coach it? I'm just trying to understand the insecurity. Why would you be so worried? Let the kids play real baseball in their own city instead of having to go elsewhere. We Do have the resources. Minimal change would be taken care of by Brea Pony. No cost to the city. You cost the city because you don't use enough of the fields. How about this... You and your family stay in Little League and have "fun" and my family will play baseball!! It shouldn't concern you and it won't affect you or your child.
#5 Nov 26, 2009
hey mr brea little league cheerleader, lets talk about the financial scandal from 2 years ago. you want to talk about whats right. get your facts straight you have no idea about the clowns running brea little league. obviously your kid could not make it in pony if he had to. keep dreaming
#6 Nov 27, 2009
What happened to the other 85%. Its a fact: only 15% of All Little Leaguers Play High School Baseball:
-40% do not move up because of physical inability to play at a higher level.
-30% do move up because of poor coaching during the development years.
-15% do not move up because of pressure from parents.
My son played L.L, Pony & Travel. Brea parents you are doing a big mistake not having Pony. I was blessed to find Whittier Pony. My son the first year couldn't up with these kids but he work his tail up and now. WOW!! That got him ready to go to the next level. Remember parents its about the kids.
#7 Nov 28, 2009
You get what you put into it. Pony kids always learn faster than LL kids do to the nature of the game they are allowed to play. My 9 & 10 yr old pony kids can beat most 11 & 12 yr old LL teams.
Basically you need good people willing to put in the time to teach kids.
Boards always have issues. Ideally I'd like to see boards where the President and VP can't coach a team and members are voted on to the board by parents.

Brea sure sounds like a great place to raise a family. OFU does everyone in brea have to pass your integrity test? We played soccer on YOUR fields sorry it didn't benefit your Brea kids.
#9 Nov 29, 2009
These Pony folks have WAY too much time on their hands.
I'm sorry they never played as kids and are reliving thier youth through thier own children.
I was impressed by theBLL leadership and completely discusted by the behavior of the expatriates. I am no Nun, but I watched two of the folks have a meltdowns which if not dangerous were downright Hilarious.
These guys are selling out the kids because of thier own short commings.
Let the Boys (and Girls) play baseball. BUTT OUT!

DKM Fan,
If it weren't for the Pony Folks having supposed WAY too much time on their hands, then how could there be any organized sports in any city? Did you know that Little League, Pony, Pop Warner, NJB and Soccer are all volunteers with NOT enough time on their hands. Your comment is WAY too ignorant and sad that you would even go to the extend of insulting. Of course we all played as kids, another ignorant comment. We are hardly living through our children. We live FOR our children and we want to give them the positive experiences that most of us had as children. Who are you or anyone else to dictate what type of baseball should be played? Pony is not trying to replace Little League. We just want our fair share of the fields. These children's parents pay their taxes for the use of the fields. It's misinformed people such as yourself that cause hatred in the community. This is not about BLL leadership, Pony leadership, adult meltdowns, children meltdowns, selling out kids (whatever that means). This is about bringing something that has been needed in the city of Brea for quite sometime. What makes Little League the monopoly? Last time I checked, that was illegal.
We want the boys and girls to play baseball and in order to do so, we can't "BUTT OUT". I am sure you hardly know any of the people involved or even spoke to any of the so called "expatriates" because if you had, you would understand what is really going on. Just be certain that Pony will NOT be going away and our kids that want to play baseball will be playing Brea Pony. They might not have the City Fields this year, but what will Little League do next year when the fields will be allocated to both organizations? It is inevitable!! And it is people like yourself and the other nay sayers that cause the problems in cities that need positive, exciting, with the times update and change. Take a look at JRWhittiers statistics...It says it all!!
Talking about someones integrity and judging their abilities to coach are just bad digs that are meant to hurt. All we are trying to do is give these kids a better chance to play and know the game at a higher more competitive level.
#12 Nov 30, 2009
I sat on the board of Brea Little league for four years. I have put two sons through Little league from t-ball through Seniors. My family has been dedicated to this league for well over a decade...My sons, while playing little league to be with thier school friends also ventured out of the city to play travel ball as well. That is where they learned the skills and the competitivness to move on to the next level.
So, now that I've seen both sides of the coin and have a third son that is approaching the next level, I speak with expierence when I say that PONY baseball is what this city needs. If we had had this years ago, my boys would have learned what they needed while playing in thier own city with thier own friends. I do not see in any way shape or form how this can be a detrement to our city, our families, or our children. I mean for goodness sake, it's just baseball. Please keep in mind, that in a few short years our children will be grown, and trust me when I tell you that this board of directors postion that you hold with BLL will be a distant memory...your fight long forgotten...PONY baseball will happen, it is happening and it's going to flourish...all your insults and insinuations about the fine people of this community are not going to stop it.
So, I ask you Mr. Nay sayer to put your personal feelings aside because you seem like a half way intellegent man. I am sure that if you took a half a second and cleared your mind of all it's negetivity and insecurity, you would quickly realize that our city and our families can only benefit from PONY baseball. Don't take opportunities away from others just because it may not be what you want for your son. Think of others first, it's a good rule to live by.
#13 Dec 1, 2009
I'm entrusting the Brea PONY board members (none of which I know) to be representative of what most families in this fine city represent.
My son is a gifted athlete bringing All Star Level talent to a new league which I hope he can proudly represent, enjoy, & grow within.
Please prove to me I made the right decision Brea PONY League.

Pony Fan,
Go get 'em man.
If it means that much to the future of your kid, do it. In speaking to three of the PONY reps this weekend, I found them to be arrogant and listened to them bash BLL with personal vengence. They displayed the attitude of busy body moms and wanna be Dads. THAT WAS MY EXPERIENCE.
With regard to the field allocation, Do some homework, there are precendents to stop this unfair behavior by the city. Santa Clara and Elg grove have had this battle. The problem is you could win the battle but lose the war. But, like I said, talk to the big talking Met's coach, he woul'nt shut up about his Lawyer friends.
United States
#15 Dec 1, 2009
The homework has been done and the policy is in place. The proper paperwork and forms have been submitted. This is not a battle or a war. It's about what is right and fair. It is not fair or right to dictate what sport is only to be available to our kids in OUR city in which we pay taxes. Pony or Little League? There is nothing unfair about it. There is enough room for everyone. Pony is not trying to take anything away from Little League. And trust me when I tell you that whomever you are listening to is not a true representative of BPB. It is not the intent of BPB to big talk our way into town. We just want something that we feel could be a big help to the kids in this community and to our high school. My son is a varsity baseball player and he couldn't have benefited without playing pony.
#16 Dec 1, 2009
I just hope representatives from both leagues remember the MISSION STATEMENTS of their respective organization:
The Little League program assists youth in developing the qualities of citizenship, discipline, teamwork and physical well-being. By espousing the virtues of character, courage and loyalty, the Little League Baseball and Softball program is designed to develop superior citizens rather than superior athletes.
To provide every child regardless of special needs the opportunity to participate in Americas favorite pastime of baseball and softball. It is our goal to provide an environment that enhances the participants self-esteem, physical mobility, and embodies the spirit of teamwork and community.
#18 Dec 2, 2009
This entire message thread goes to show just what a disgruntled group of parents sounds like. It is very sad indeed that there is very little mention of the growth and wellbeing of these players as citizens and future leaders. All the rhetoric about playing real baseball vs having fun, I have seen little if anything written about learning lessons of good character, dedication and fairness. Very few of these posts even address anything other than the parents petty, self-centered arguments. If you are resting the hopes of your childs future on their youth baseball experience then I believe you will be very sadly disappointed at what that future holds. Baseball is still a game right?
United States
#19 Dec 2, 2009
You are absolutely right. There is no mention of the well being and growth of the players. That is not what this is about. It's about the right for Pony Baseball to join the city of Brea. Everyone involved has the best interest in the children. Pony just wants it's fair time in Brea. There are always those in any league that unfortunately don't represent their leagues in the proper way and
everyone needs to be aware of that and know it's not in just Pony, it's all of the organizations. There shouldn't be a fight about this at all but for some reason there is. It's not just up to these leagues to instill good character and leadership in our children. We have that responsibility as parents. And it's our responsibility to be there for our children and offer them all that is out there for them to grow in a positive enviroment. If everyone would just try to respect each other there shouldn't be a problem having both leagues in the city. But for some reason we have those afraid of what they don't understand and don't want to try to understand, instead there are backstabbing insults and misleading lies.
United States
#20 Dec 2, 2009
You are all over the board. I am confused as to your perspective on this issue, but I am convinced of your anger.
First you attack and attempt to belittle. Then you preach about getting along, common goals, mutual respect, good character and leadership. Then you are off accussing others of "backstabbing insults and misleading lies".
You have personal issues at stake here, that much is obvious.
It would seem as though it is time to let it go. From what I understand Brea (city leadership) has decided to honor the City's policy regarding new user groups. It appears that there is no one, no group, no organization, and no governmental body impeding the organization and operation of Brea PONY.
My advice....Go in peace, to love and serve the community.
United States
#21 Dec 2, 2009
I'm trying to decide which way to go. If you have information that would make that decision easier, that would be helpful.
What does it take for a kid to make it in pony and why wouldn't someones kid make it?

I like this scent, it's a soft and sweet scent, not to christmas-y, and perfect for a little pick me up. Don't ask me why, but this fragrance make me smile!
I really like the foaming formula, but I fact I think that it's really the pump that is making a difference. When the soap is halfway gone, I fill the empty space with water and it works just as fine.
Like most of the BBW foaming hand soap, I love it ! However, also like most BBW products, I think it's over-priced. I only buy them on sale, and I also try to buy them with a coupon on top of the sale. However, after that, I have a stash that last a pretty long time ! As they are so expensive for what they really are, I'll probably finish my stash and just make my own using the pumps of the foaming hand soap from bath and body works. If you want to do the same; check pinterest, there's a lot of recipes out there!

How does TPMS works in WK2?
Anyone knows for sure? Is it direct or indirect? Battery-powered or battery-less?
Re: How does TPMS works in WK2?
I imagine it's the same as my Patriot was- direct TPMS with battery powered sensors located on the valve stem.
Indirect TPMS seems like it would be rather problematic when it comes to getting a reliable reading. Since the EVIC lists a specific reading for each wheel, I'm quite sure it is the valve stem based battery powered sensors- one for each wheel.

Re: How does TPMS works in WK2?
I know my Overland uses direct TPMS :) ,but no longer has the metal valve stem :(.

If you know me, you know that my favorite food is watermelon. People who think watermelon tastes the same as cucumber clearly do not have taste buds as evolved as mine. I would suggest that such people be punished, but I think the lack of taste of that delicious watermelon flavor is punishment enough.
Here's a fact about me that you might not know: I love watermelon seeds.
It's long been a source of contention between me and David. He thinks I'm weird because not only do I go out of my way to buy a seeded watermelon (seedless ones just don't taste the same), I also don't bother to scoop out the seeds when I'm eating a slice. Sometimes I'll just cut the top off a watermelon and just dig in with a spoon.
This isn't because I'm lazy and has nothing to do with me not matching my socks. I actually like the seeds. People eat pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and various other seeds -- why should watermelon seeds be treated so differently?
Now that David's got an iPhone and has instant Google, he did a little research for me this morning.
Did you know that a cup of watermelon seeds has 30 grams of protein? It turns out watermelon seeds not only add a wee bit of crunch to your delicious sweet treat, but they are actually really nutritious.
Take that, America!

Data Secure™
Protect your sensitive data
You do not want sensitive data to fall into unauthorized hands
If any of the following thoughts have crossed your mind, you should consider Data Secure:
- "I have just refreshed my test system. Is there a way I can still scramble the data?"
- "Is my sensitive data protected well enough to satisfy the auditors?"
- "Can anyone get access to sensitive data they can't see in production?"
- "Could we write a custom program to anonymize some records in our training system?"
Data Secure gives you complete control over all sensitive data
Data Secure is a comprehensive protection solution that comes with pre-defined masking rules. With these rules you can scramble any non-key field in any client-dependent SAP table in a number of different ways (e.g. mapping table look-up, constant value, clear a field). You can also extend these rules to cover your own particular security needs.
Data Secure enables your company to meet all well-known data protection standards such as Sarbanes Oxley, UK Data Protection Act and the BDSG (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz). Ask our EPI-USE Labs consultants to advise you on how to implement a data security policy across your non-production SAP landscape.
It's easy to mask an entire client, as the product handles large volumes of data – it was developed for basis teams to use for mass scrambling. You can use it separately or with our Client Sync product, to scramble data as you create the new client.
Data Secure benefits
- It's fast - optimised for mass processing
- It's ready - no development required, just select and go
- It's smart - all functional dependencies automatically taken care of
- It's flexible - customise any scrambling rule to suit your needs
- It's audit proof - provides demonstrable evidence to auditors that data protection is under control
- It's future proof - all scrambling rules will continue to work after applying support packs or upgrading the system
I've heard that DSM has more than one mechanism for scrambling data. Is this true?Yes, there are two "engines" that can scramble data. Each is designed for a different audience and a different purpose. Object Sync is for the business user and employs conversions to scramble selected data. Then there is Data Secure for use by the Basis team, whose mass scrambling affects an entire client. However, the underlying routines used to generate new values are shared across the products, so the anonymised data has a consistent look and feel.
So how do I know which one to use?The first consideration is volume: Data Secure scrambles everything in one go called a "Masking Run", whereas Object Sync is intended for smaller volumes. The second consideration is the extent of the scrambling: Object Sync affords the user greater flexibility and control.
Can Data Secure scramble data in a QA client that was not even created with DSM?Absolutely. Data Secure is an in-place solution, which means it can perform a mass operation on any client, regardless of how it was created. Data Secure has been optimised for high performance.
Is it possible to define custom rules in Data Secure?Yes. There is a custom user exit that interfaces with the Data Secure API to control how data should be masked. But the most common requirements can be carried out without any programming – you can choose from a variety of options, such as clearing a field, replacing with constant values, replacing with random values, etc.
How can we ensure that different users employ the same scrambling rules?Data Secure allows you to save a profile of selected masking options that can be re-used. This is vital for meeting audit and governance requirements.
Data Secure is part of EPI-USE Labs Data Sync Manager (DSM) product suite. It can function independently or together with other products in the DSM suite.

We've now officially entered the season of musicals, and if you're hankering for something in the genre that's a little cleverer, somewhat raunchier, and way more meta than the usual fare, look no farther than [title of show]. In this feisty, minimalist little musical, produced by Dramatic Repertory Company, composer/lyricist Jeff Bowen and playwright Hunter Bell have written a musical about two guys named Jeff and Hunter, who are writing a musical about two guys named Jeff (Michael Wood) and Hunter (Andrew Sawyer), who are writing a musical.
Some theater-goers, the guys themselves admit, might consider the very premise of [tos] to be "self-referential, self-indulgent bullshit." But we're meant to sometimes roll our eyes at the self-consciously adorable exploits of Jeff, Hunter, and their actress friends Heidi (Lisa Van Oosterum) and Susan (Jen Means). Their self-awareness, their pluck, and this super cast's impeccable, spirited execution make it a pleasure of a show, at once earnest and winking.
The show writes itself in quasi-real time, full of meta-commentary ("Key change!" a song's own lyrics announce) and its creators' weirdo imaginings (Sawyer singing as a black sandwich-board guy!). Though sometimes, by nature, exposition-heavy, [tos] is also rich with unexpected metaphors — our inner critics are memorably likened to "vampires." It dexterously plays with the genre's conventions, and is unapologetically riddled with insider musical theater allusions.
It's a niche audience that will get all of that. But Bowen and Bell don't mind. As they sing themselves, they'd rather be "nine people's favorite thing than one hundred people's ninth favorite thing." They'll be cheered on by anyone who loves the "let's-put-on-a-show" spunk of musical theater — or who just appreciates watching the synergy of stellar, audacious performers making it happen.
[title of show] | by Jeff Bowen and Hunter Bell | Musical Direction by Victoria Stubbs | Directed by Keith Powell Beyland | Produced by Dramatic Repertory Company, at the Portland Stage Studio Theater | through June 9 | dramaticrep.org

Personally I am already over the line you were discussing I personally removed the magazine interlock safety in my carry gun. The rest however does remain stock and I don't plan on changing that.
From the sounds of what your planning hard chrome and night sights those are what I like to term peripheral changes and would not worry about it. Especially if the work is done by a cert. gunsmith.
As for an over active DA I think you would be in more trouble for collateral samage than hitting your mark with your sights of choice.

Stalking Vol 2 The Bridge of Reason HTML version
"Intellectually, but your predisposition is a much stronger force than you realize," she said
as we began boarding the ferry. "A core inner awareness of our true form of existence
unavoidably manifests in our religions. How these operate symbolize mass beliefs of a particular
bent, each one trying out various interpretations from different vantage points. It follows that
religious convictions are based on the fact of this awareness, but our physical interpretation of
this awareness has been skewed by self-interest over the ages. We'll deal with that later. Phillip
wants to deal with the mental health issue now."
"I don't… we're going for a drive. That's all I know."
We boarded the ferry and took our seats.
On the crossing of False Creek, we again reviewed the principles and concepts that were
becoming assumptions of our chats. Many of these were metaphysical premises widely held by
millions of people, which Saa-ra corrected for accuracy throughout their historical development.
For example, rituals were originally about altering focus to shift the Assemblage Point. They had
nothing to do with metaphor, memorial, or worship.
When we reached her car, Bonnie handed me the keys and walked to the passenger door.
"Just start driving," she said when we were seated; I headed into the West End along Pacific
"Go where you feel like going," she said.
I turned right on Broughton with the intention of taking it all the way to West Georgia, then
turn left into Stanley Park, a motorcycle drive I never tired of.
"Phillip is going to direct you from here," Bonnie said as we crossed Nelson Street.
"Okay," I said, having no idea what that meant.
In the next moment, I heard a male voice say, "Turn left here," as clearly as if I was wearing
studio quality headphones.
I looked at the car radio—no tuning dial light—then at Bonnie; she was concentrating
deeply, her lips tight, head bowed.
I looked back at the road.
"Turn left on Bidwell and go to Beach," the voice said.
I turned the radio power switch—first on, then off.
"Can you hear him?" Bonnie said casually.
"Perfectly," I replied.
I followed Phillip's directions for another few minutes, until he directed me to park beside a
church. He ended his monologue by saying, "We will speak later."
My complete acceptance that Spirit spoke to Bonnie changed everything and nothing; I had
believed her, but without the experience it was a seco nd- hand conviction.
Bonnie subsequently explained that Phillip had wanted me to drive to demonstrate, to
myself, that I was not hallucinating, dreaming, or in an altered state of awareness that would
allow me to think I had made up the event. My out-of-body experience had also been preceded
by similarly designed events to make sure that I knew I was wide-awake.
From here on, she said that Phillip would speak to me in this way only if and as I worked on
my energy gathering practices, because words were an incalculably inefficient use of energy. In
time, our conversations would take place through visions, knowings, and pure understandings
that encompassed enormous blocks of knowledge, with one caveat; I had to be familiar with the
elements of the whole lest the message- landscape be skewed.

A Seattle man who planned to dribble a soccer ball from Seattle to Brazil for charity died on Tuesday morning after being struck by a car in Lincoln City, Ore., according to The Oregonian.
According to the report, Lincoln City Police identified the man as Richard Swanson, 42, and later confirmed that Swanson was found with a ball similar to the one posted on his website, breakawaybrazil.com.
"I've heard that his parents indicated he was going to be dribbling a ball from Seattle to Brazil," Lincoln City Police Lt. Jerry Palmer told The Oregonian. Palmer also said investigators found materials among Swanson's things listing his website, breakawaybrazil.com.
Swanson, who had hoped to reach Sao Paulo, Brazil for the start of 2014 World Cup, described himself as an "avid runner, soccer player, and all around lover of the Pacific Northwest," according to the report. He reportedly started his trip on May 1 and planned to visit 11 countries during his venture, which he intended to help benefit the One World Project.
Swanson set out on the trek to promote the One World Futbol Project, based in Berkeley, Calif., which donates durable soccer balls to people in developing countries. The organization did not immediately respond to a call for comment.
On Tuesday morning, Swanson posted a video on his Facebook page showing him walking along the beach, kicking a soccer ball. The 42-year-old had begun his journey on May 1.

Genealogical Guide to the Early Settlers of America: With a Brief History of Those of the First Generation : And References to the Various Local Histories
This work, as it originally appeared, ran serially from September 1898 through June 1906 in the short-lived periodical, The Spirit of 76, complete sets of which are practically unknown. The Guide consists of genealogical notices of 10,000 17th-century settlers, with dates of arrival, places of residence and removal, wife's name and date of marriage, names and dates of birth of children, dates of wills and other records, and names of ships and countries of origin. Descriptions of coats-of-arms are also given for many families.

Fix it the right way.

A Walmart cashier stole my giftcard. I tried to pay with a giftcard worth almost $300 and the cashier handed me back a different card with zero money on it. The switched card was activated and used in full at that store. The last transaction was by someone else 3 days before I was even at that store, video confirmed. Management worthless to refund my money. Had to get security at another Walmart to help me. I now go out of my way to the Mt. Airy or Frederick stores which I love. Be warned if you go to the Germantown Walmart. There are many reviews of reasons not to go there, but losing almost $300 means I will never go back.

Jan. 17, 2014
2014 Schedule | UTTIX.com
The start of the 2014 Tennessee baseball season is just 28 days away!
In January and February, UTSports.com will count down the days remaining until the start of the Vols' 2014 campaign (Feb. 14) with looks back at the many players who donned jersey numbers 30-1.
The baseball season in Knoxville kicks off On the diamond on Feb. 14 when the Vols host the Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks at Lindsey Nelson Stadium at 4 p.m. With one of the youngest teams in the country in 2013, head coach Dave Serrano and company have the foundation in place on Rocky Top.
The 2014 slate is highlighted by 33 games in Knoxville, including nonconference matchups against Purdue (Feb. 15-16) and UNLV (Feb. 21-23). The Vols open with a 13-game homestand, starting things off with three straight days of doubleheader action.
In total, 23 Vols have worn No. 28. The jersey currently belongs to sophomore left-handed pitcher and Powell, Tenn., native Drake Owenby. Included in that mix is one of the best to ever pitch in Rocky Top, Mike Smithson (1975-76).
1974-76 | RHP | 6-8 | 215 lbs. | Centerville, Tenn. (Hickman County)
Mike Smithson was one of the best to ever toe the rubber in Knoxville. Over his career, Smithson wore No. 5, No. 28 and No. 42 with the Volunteers. A native of Centerville, Tenn., the 6-foot-8 Smithson was recruited and earned a basketball scholarship at the University of Tennessee. He played for Coach Ray Mears for three season with the likes of Bernard King and Ernie Grunfeld. Smithson appeared in 16 basketball games for the Vols, netting 31 points and pulling down 25 rebounds over his career.
Playing catch one day, Smithson was spotted by UT baseball head coach Bill Wright, who asked him to try out for the freshmen team. Smithson obviously made the squad and went on to set multiple records for the Orange and White. He is the Vols' current leader in career winning percentage on the mound (Min. 14 decisions) with a 13-2 record and .867 winning percentage. His .800 (8-2) winning percentage in 1976 is tied for 10th in the Vols' single-season annals. He also picked up seven complete games that season, good for sixth in the record books. He earned All-SEC Eastern Division honors that season.
A fifth round draft pick by the Red Sox in the 1976 amateur draft, Smithson went on to play eight seasons in Major League Baseball for the Texas Rangers, Minnesota Twins and Boston Red Sox. He compiled 76 wins, a 4.58 ERA, 41 complete games and 731 strikeouts in 1,356.1 innings pitched. Smithson won the 1987 World Series with the Minnesota Twins.
The Vol For Life was inducted into the Tennessee Baseball Hall of Fame in 2004 and named to UTs's All-Century Team in 2009.
- Played three seasons with the Tennessee basketball team under Coach Ray Mears
- Did color commentary for the Nashville Sound AAA team
- Current Athletic Director of Hickman County High School
#28 Drake Owenby
2013-14 | LHP | 6-2 | L/L | Powell, Tenn.
Sophomore pitcher Drake Owenby is the 23rd player to ever grace the No. 28 on the Tennessee baseball diamond. In his rookie season, he made 16 appearances, compiling a 2-1 record, two saves and 20 strikeouts in 27.1 innings pitched. Owenby, who's expected to be the Vols' closer this season, excelled this summer on the West Coast. Playing for the San Luis Obispo Blues of the California Collegiate League, Owenby dominated the late innings this summer, leading the league with eight saves and 50 strikeouts in just 26 innings pitched. The lefty finished the summer with a 1.01 ERA and was named a first-team Perfect Game Summer All-American.
- Played tight end, linebacker and defensive end for his high school football team that went 11-1 in 2010 and 12-2 in 2012.
- Caught 19 passes for 254 yards and six TDs and made 30 tackles in his three years on the Panthers' varsity squad.

What challenge to the US will have the greatest impact on our future?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The biggest challenge to the US in the foreseeable future is globalization. The United States needs to find a way to deal with the huge increases in global economic competition that face us. We have to find a way to make our economy grow and to create jobs that will allow all Americans (including those without a lot of education) to have a decent standard of living. The way we respond to this challenge will impact us immensely because it will have an effect on how prosperous we are and how stable we are politically (because a country that cannot provide decent jobs to its lower classes might well experience political unrest).

Kardashian Leads Khloe to Divorce on Mid-Season Finale of "KUWTK"
Everyone loves their penchant for drama, and during last night's mid-season finale of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," the whole Kardashian crew was in tears.
While lamenting the demise of her marriage to Lamar Odom, Khloe Kardashian broke down sobbing.
She shared, "It's something I thought I'd never have to do. It's not fair - it's not fair that this is even something anyone has to go through."
Empathizing with her forlorn sister, Kim cried, "But you don't have to go through it alone." Khloe replied, "It just sucks when you've given so much and you realize it still wasn't good enough for someone. You can't help but take it personally."
Offering some perspective, mom/manager Kris Jenner chimed in, "It's hard for all of us - we were all in love with Lamar. I think at this point we just wanna pray for his happiness. We love him very much, and we wish him the best, but Khloé needs to just get happy."
In response to the video in which Odom all but confesses to cheating on Khloe, she stated, "It really hurts coming from Lamar. I'm so sad that everything is happening the way it's happening - I don't even know what to say or do."
"I haven't seen Lamar in a month, two months. It's really awkward when reporters ask me questions about Lamar - I really don't know what's happening. I'm trying to figure everything out and put together the pieces, so I don't even know what response to give."
Later, Kim addressed the situation- "It's just not the life I want my sister to live. We're all sad, we all love Lamar so much. But I just hate as your sister seeing you stuck in this place not making a decision when nothing's changing. I just don't want you to put your life on hold when you have already for so long. You've done every last thing that a person can do. I think that you feel guilty, like you're giving up if you leave, when we just want you to know it's not giving up. You don't have to go through it alone - that's why we're here. It's the hardest thing. But you've told him, 'Come fix this marriage.'"

i have a 90 gmc sierra v6 what are some mods i can do to beef up my engine while having it rebuilt?
It all depends on how fast you wanna spend! The more you spend, the faster you'll go!
flat top pistons, bigger cam with springs, Eddie intake and blend the centuries on the throttle body and the intake to match. Get a custom chip to match the specs of the engine and also do headers and 2.5" dual exhaust. REALLY makes that v6 scream! There's a guy here in town that did this with his v6 1500 and is faster than a local Z06
Best parts source for this motor? Fair priced headers? Which cam?
the words "fair" and "priced" no longer belong in the same sentence. As far as parts source, check eBay. I've found lots of name brand products for much better prices there. I got a set of shorty jba headers for my V6 for $150
Separate names with a comma.

There is a fabulous T-shirt quilt tutorial that uses a gridded fusible making it fast and easy ...
http://www.crookednickel.com/index.html a great video, bottom right of the page.
I bought a bolt of gridded fusible 50% off at Joanns but still have NOT made the quilt for my grandson YET! Tho I am anxious to try this method.
I also saw somewhere, that a person used the backs of the t-shirts for the back of the quilt ... recycling at its best.

Also, in my talk I'm going to include some quotes. Some that I have found that embody the idea of individualism include:
"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."
"Always be a first rate version of yourself and not a second rate version of someone else."
― Judy Garland
― Judy Garland
"I wore black because I liked it. I still do, and wearing it still means something to me. It's still my symbol of rebellion -- against a stagnant status quo, against our hypocritical houses of God, against people whose minds are closed to others' ideas."
― Johnny Cash
I might use one of these quotes or I might find another; quote suggestions are welcome!
In addition, I have been thinking about giving my talk and i'm starting to get nervous. I don't have much experience in giving speeches and I don't want to mess up. The part of giving my speech that i'm most nervous for is blanking. I don't want to be up there on stage and then just completely blank and forget my train of thought.

When Lily Allen confessed last month to being a Tinder tourist — using London's most popular dating app purely for voyeuristic fun — it was just the endorsement I needed to take a little Tinder mini-break of my own. I'm not a smug married mum of two like Lily, but I've been in relationships since the dawn of internet dating, so I've never had the ego boost of uploading a picture, crafting the perfect profile and waiting for declarations of lust from people who start their messages 'hello beautyful lady' to flood in.
I had to tell my partner, naturally. I thought she'd be a bit jealous, but would understand that this was a research trip. What I didn't expect was her response to my explanatory text message: 'FUN! I'll do it, too!' And later: 'Can you send me that picture of me in Brooklyn?' And later still: 'Is it a competition?!' Well, it would certainly make a change from after-dinner Scrabble. Game on.
Before going any further, I confessed my intention to friends on Facebook. It turned out we were not alone. Countless couples are dabbling in Tinder, using it as a safe space to flirt, see what they're missing and feel desirable. One husband and wife I know say it's worked wonders for their sex life: 'Seeing all the matches he gets from hot girls makes me realise how lucky I am to have him and is a total turn-on!' admitted my friend Samantha. Mark, her betrothed, said: 'I just think the kind of men she goes for is hilarious! They are all 19 and look like they should be in Hollyoaks.'
It takes a strong relationship not to be threatened by such behaviour, so I decided to enforce some ground rules: 1) This would be a 12-hour foray after which we would both delete the app. 2) We would only respond to people who had messaged us first. 3) We would show each other all of our Tinder activity and 4) We would tell everyone we chatted to that we were in a relationship and 'just looking'.
I installed the app and picked my most alluring Facebook photos (at a party; smoking a cigar; in Paris!). If these snaps didn't say 'swipe right', nothing would. My first impressions were that this is easy, then this is fun, then this is freaking addictive. Judging from the number of 'ooh I got another match' text messages I was getting from my girlfriend Jen, she was hooked, too. All day at work during meetings and phone calls, I was surreptitiously swiping: Nope, nope, nope, YES! Unlike in the real world where I've pretty much decided I prefer girls, in Tinderville I was a lusty bisexual with a penchant for topless men with bulging biceps, as well as cute ladies with pixie cuts.
At lunchtime I got my first match, shortly followed by my first message. And from a total babe, too. Despite my rampant liking of men, I only had two male matches — story of my life. Kate and I had a flirty little back-and-forth and when I told her I had a girlfriend, she said I was 'sexy' and my 'gf is lucky'. I immediately phoned Jen to gloat. She had been a bigger hit with boys and was very excited about a dashing Frenchman who liked jumping out of planes — 'so adventurous!' she swooned. I felt jealous for a moment then I realised I had made 20 matches in five hours and was #WINNING. Back at home, we were supposed to be filling out paperwork for the flat we are buying together, but instead we were both on a Tinder rampage, excitedly reading each other's messages and checking out each other's likes. One attractive but demanding girl became quickly annoyed that I hadn't responded to her message in 20 minutes: 'Well, that was a lead balloon. I've never had such a silent reaction,' she wrote. I composed a polite response to which she replied: 'Formalities killed the cat.' How we ROFLED. 'Text back "Meow",' said Jen. 'No,' I said, 'that's weird and easily misconstrued.' We went on like this for a while and I began to wonder: is all this Tinder voyeurism a tad unfair on the genuine singletons?
My friend Hamish, who is looking for a girlfriend, told me: 'I joined Tinder to go on dates with the hope that, if I met the right person, it might lead to a relationship. It's frustrating when you put effort into striking up a conversation with a hot girl and it turns out they have a boyfriend and are just on it to see what they might be missing out on. They should just get on with their real-life relationship and leave us to it.' The thing is, Hamish, Tinder window-shopping is just such fun. One mum I know, who has a boyfriend she met on the app, puts her baby to bed, pours herself a large glass of wine and settles in for what she calls 'Tinder Hour', flicking through guys and posting pictures of the weirdest-looking ones on her blog. She said: 'Far from becoming a redundant app once I was happily coupled, I use it as a source of amusement. I often think I'm ridiculous, but then I look at Tinder and know that it's all going to be OK.'
It was almost midnight — we had bonded, dealt with moments of jealously, trust issues and realised other people fancied us so we must never, ever take each other for granted. We also felt reassured that we were each other's perfect match and there was no one better out there in cyberspace. Before we Tinderellas turned into a pair of pumpkins, we clicked the little red cross above the flame on our phones. It had been a great ride, but I think from now on we'll stick to Scrabble. Oh, and if you're wondering — I won.Reuse content

I've had two stints in the UFC.
I've lost fights I've won.
I've retired and returned from retirement.
I've been champion of a reputable promotion. I jointly hold their record for consecutive title defenses in my division.
I've had 3 FOTN and 1 SOTN in the UFC.
When I hear the phrase sex, drugs and rock'n'roll, the only part that I don't regret is rock'n'roll.
Nick Diaz?
First pitch is a burner right down the middle. MacWombat is caught looking.
Strike 1...
Well that doesn't make sense. I obviously swung.
If you swing and the ball is already in the catcher's mitt, you got caught looking.
You gotta give me some poetic license for incorrect guesses.
Hermes Franca
Ugh, it is Franca.
Alright, so I'm up.
I started my career 12-0
I have won over 30 fights by way of submission
I was in the UFC for a while, but I couldn't handle the heat
Since then I have gone 12-14
Who am I?
Drew Fickett.
Correct you are up LWT
I Have fought in multiple weight divisions before.
I have never been knocked down
I have the most octagon time in the UFC
Who Am I?
you are a guy who needs to wait his turn
It's LWT's turn, but is it BJ Penn?
Ok, but LWT is still up
Some of my fans describe me as a "young lion" in my weight division.
My aggression and hunger for the kill has lead me to lose, even when I was able to victimize my prey.
I was even the favorite heading into my last fight against an opponent who "likes to stay on top of things," but I ran into his upgraded form.
Erick Silva?
Guess again.

Madonna: My Stalker Can't Scare Me
Posted Thursday September 23, 2010 10:46 AM GMT
Joining the ranks of celebrities with wacko fans, Madonna had a near run-in with a stalker when he tried to meet her twice as of late.
But 59-year-old Robert Linhart doesn't seem to scare the Material Girl- when asked if she feared for her safety, Madge simply replied, "No."
On the other hand, Linhart, a retired FDNY firefighter, doesn't sound like he's giving up anytime soon, even though he had to post $20,000 to walk free from jail.
Robert declared, "I won't stop until I actually meet Madonna. I am going to go right back there and do it again."
Enjoy the pictures of Madonna with Lourdes and Taylor Momsen at the Material Girl launch (September 22).

Reviews - Eagle House Hotel3
12 Pevensey Road, St.Leonards-on-Sea, Hastings, TN38 0JZ
Customer Reviews
Our reviews are from genuine LateRooms.com customers. We verify that the customer has stayed before leaving a review.
Very Good
88% would recommend it to a friend
Customer service
Food quality
Room quality
Shower tray filled with water nearly to the top.
Only a sheet covered the mattress, which barely reached the end of the bed - no mattress cover. Dirty and stained decorative cover at the end of the bed. Old brown velvet curtains marked and stained - especially where you would hold them to close or open. Thick dust on top of wall bed lights and switch to turn them off by the door. Carpet needed a good vacuum and clean. Tile fell off bathroom wall. Furniture very dated. A good clean, paint - even on the furniture, new curtains and efficient maintenance would improve this hotel.

Budget stay
The hotel is clean and welcoming and has a good bar and dining room.
However we were in the lower rooms and the noise from people walking in the dining room above is a bit off putting as is the back stairs as the noise again carries through to the room. However the few niggles we had were sorted out .

Hastings visit
Hotel was very convenient for walking in to Hastings along the seafront.
Parking was also advantageous. Breakfast was very good and staff were friendly. Room was a little tired but one felt the hotel was being refurbished as all public rooms were fresh and bright and modern. We would use it again.

Not your normal seaside B&B, good modern accommodation, nice, clean, friendly.
Expected only the basics but ended up having a meal and using the bar facilities. Hotel manager is superb, seemed to be everywhere when you wanted him. Attentive, friendly but not 'in your face'

At the time of visit the hotel was undergoing renovation.
The room was very clean and well decorated. The off road parking was appreciated. There is a faint rumble from trains when passing through an underground tunnel near-by but not too intrusive, TV was quite small and towels slightly ragged. Would consider staying there again.

Lovely room overlooking beautiful garden very quiet and peaceful.

Date of Stay: September, 2011
Price reflects weekly rate with additional electric. You should be aware that in addition to the campground fee you will be charged 20 cents per kwh that you use. I don't mind the electric fee going to the producer, but I do mind a campground making money on it as 20 cents is more than what they are paying. Also, it would be nice to know about this charge in advance when I made the reservation. In addition, this campground is in need of some maintenance. They advertise that they can handle big rigs but they don't trim the trees. We got quite a few scratches which could have been avoided if they trimmed the trees. The space between our site and our neighbor is not much wider than a picnic table. When I booked I requested a space without trees to get satellite coverage. The first site we were sent to with assurances that we would get satellite. However, we could not get satellite coverage. We even checked the entire site with an align-a-site tool and there was no way any motorhome could get satellite in that site. We finally found a site that we could get coverage, but it was literally in a puddle of mud. Every time you had to dump the blackwater we had to wade through the mud. The mud also contributed to our inability to level the coach on the site. Yes, they did get a lot of rain, but they did not bother to put any additional gravel on the site to make it habitable. When we arrived the fire pit was right at the bottom of our steps in an unsafe location, and it was full of cigar stubs. When I checked in with a Good Sam $5 certificate they rudely snapped that they don't accept these. We don't mind paying a little more for a nicer campground, but this campground was not worth the price.
Date of Stay: August, 2011
This is a very nice, well run campground. They even gave us a free coffee mug when we checked in! The river runs around the campground and it is just beautiful. They have events every weekend and it is a very nice, fun loving group of people. The only negative we had was that you can't use the washer in your RV, because of the septic system. But they do have a nice laundry. They only have a few 50 amp sites so you need to reserve early. I highly recommend this campground.
Date of Stay: August, 2011
Overpriced! It is by the lake, but not near shopping or the convenience of Burlington, VT. We booked earlier and were required to put a $150 deposit. We checked the campground out the week before our stay and we were very disappointed because we expected a "resort" for this price and we were "underwhelmed." We called and they would not refund the $150 so we stayed for 3 days to cover the deposit and left as unsatisfied as we knew we would be. We did have a nice long site but it was very unlevel! It was no where near full in early August so I would recommend, unless it is a holiday weekend, not making a reservation in advance.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
We were very frustrated when we found out that we had to pay an extra daily fee to use the air conditioning in our RV. This fee was not mentioned when we made the reservation. Also, the music from the nearby bar was extremely loud on the weekends. The site was extremely unlevel. We really enjoyed the Adirondack golf course. It is a good location with Lake Placid and Fort Ticonderoga not too far. When you are there we recommend visiting Ausable Chasm and do the float trip or the tube ride. Overall an okay campground, but just be aware of the issues mentioned above.
Date of Stay: June, 2011
Great customer service! The electricity was not hooked up in our site the first night, so they gave us the first night free even through we already got one night free in the week rate (the rate shown does not include the comped night for the electrical outage). There is lots to do in the area including great bike trails, very nice golf courses and lots for the kids to do in the park.
Date of Stay: September, 2010
This campground was just perfect for us. The rate reflects a weekly rate. The park is close to the City of Hayward and Spooner with lots to see and do. It is exactly as the other reviews say it is. We had a nice level lot, lots of space between rigs, and great satellite reception. I can't say enough about how wonderful the owners are. They came over to the rig to let us know about community activities and also to bring us some vegetables they had to pick as the weather was getting too cold to leave them on the vine. Also, not mentioned in the other reviews, is the fact that they offer free wood for campfires. We loved this campground and would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2010
You have to go to the Lodge to check in which is as far away from the campground as you can get. The campground is down the road from the casino. The sites are in a very tree filled area making it very difficult to back in a big rig. The sites are not very wide making it a very tight fit with slides. The nightly price is very reasonable and the weekly rate of $45 is even better. But, with no satellite and the limited access and size of the site we had to cancel our reservation and find another campground.
Date of Stay: September, 2010
The $43 fee for one night is based on the $21 per night plus an $8 reservation fee plus the $8 daily motor vehicle non resident fee for the motorhome and a $6 non resident towed vehicle duplicate. They don't tell you about the additional motor vehicle fees on the website until after you have made the reservation. If you want to cancel you have to pay the $8 reservation fee plus a $10 cancellation fee. This is the worst value for any camp site we have ever experienced especially when you consider the fact that you have no water and no sewer for $43 a night! This park has are all grassy sites with the exception of the handicap sites. Although it claims to have big rig access, it is really not big rig friendly. The sites were very soft from all the rain and there were deep dug in tire marks from rigs that got stuck. There are also many trees located close to the site entrance making it difficult if not impossible for a big rig to enter the site. Big Rigs and Non-Residents are not welcome in Michigan State Parks!

Owen Farrell was desperate to achieve a personal best on the bench press as England's players challenged each other in the gym at Loughborough University. However, the weight he chose proved too much for the 20-year-old, who grudgingly accepted defeat only for his father Andy to easily lift the bar.
Being eclipsed by your dad in public is always galling, even more so when he is the England backs coach and the Farrells' weights room competition is now part of the folklore that surrounds a young squad who take on a dangerous France side on Sunday.
Was Owen surprised by the lifting power of Big Faz — as he is known in the squad — given the 36-year-old has not been a "gym monkey" for some years?
"Dad has always been strong and still is," said Owen. "I was going for a personal best but he still smashed it. Hopefully, I will keep getting stronger and eventually pass him."
Farrell senior is in a unique position to monitor the progress of his eldest son having been given temporary release from his role as Saracens head coach to join the England set-up.
Owen was in the Sarries Academy last season but injuries among the senior squad saw him elevated to the first team and, despite being a centre by nature, handed the No10 role he now fills for England.
That kind of rapid rise would have phased many but his father's success in rugby league and union has helped Owen make the transition from promising youngster to international fly-half.
The Farrells both exude a calmness totally at odds with the high stakes that come with Test rugby and the Six Nations in particular.
Having dealt with the bitter disappointment of losing 19-12 to Wales two weeks ago, Owen's focus is solely on France and not even the announcement yesterday that Les Bleus had dropped regular half-backs Morgan Parra and Francois Trinh-Duc concerned the Sarries No10.
France will now feature the tactical kicking of Lionel Beauxis at outside-half with former Leicester No9 Julien Dupuy acting as the link with a formidable pack of forwards at the Stade de France and Owen's response to the change epitomises the assured way he goes about his business.
Owen has won three caps and was at inside centre for the wins away to Scotland and Italy in which his goal kicking was vital and was thrust into the crucial No10 role when Sarries team-mate Charlie Hodgson injured a finger in the lead-up to the Wales match. Rather than draft in the experienced Toby Flood, interim head coach Stuart Lancaster gave Owen the responsibility of controlling the England game plan on his Twickenham debut.
He rose to the challenge impressively and is looking forward to Paris, where he will again be the tactical focus for the team.
"There is a difference going onto the pitch with No10 on your back rather than No12 and you need to have a clear understanding and be unbelievably prepared for what you are going into and what you will face," said Owen. "You must be confident and on top of all the plays you call. At No12, you can, at times, take a step back because the No10 is calling it all the time.
"You do have a feel for how the game is going but it is about getting the planning right and I don't look at that preparation in terms of focusing on an individual player, even if the French have changed their half-backs.
"It is more important to understand what they are trying to do as a team and the changes will be for a reason and we have to work out what that could be. You can't always predict things and it comes down to playing what's in front of you.
"We've got brilliant players all over the field and just need to finish our chances. We're going in the right direction. It is coming. We've got massive belief in what we are trying to do. Every game we have got better as a team."
Against Wales, Owen had to leave the contest midway through the second half because of cramp and the disappointment at his failure to last the distance was etched on his face as he was helped off.
However, he is confident it will not be an issue against France.
"The cramp came during a tough Test match which does take it out of you but I didn't have any problems in the previous two games," he said. "I was well hydrated and it was just an unfortunate thing that happened."
Working out the attacking threats posed by France has not totally dominated Owen's thoughts. The back is in the first year of a part-time business course and has been able to do some studying in recent days.
Owen said: "I had to write 1500 words on advertising and marketing at the weekend for my business management course and you can't think about rugby while you are doing that!
"I haven't been to a lecture all semester and so I have been using the course lecture slides online and doing it part-time means there is still a long way to go. After all the referencing I had to do last night, it was nice to get back to rugby training."

SlowTunes App to Teach Our Children to Sing Along!
How many of us have improvised our own songs while talking and playing with our children?
Probably all of us!
And who hasn't sung the ABC's to their children?
Now that my children with apraxia have started to like today's music on the radio, I often hear them trying to sing along with the song.
But sadly, some of the lyrics are so fast that their little mouths can't keep up or they make up words that sound like the lyric (which actually makes me giggle in the front seat!)
For example, Lady GaGa's "Bad Romance" comes out as "Bad Horse Dance" according to my son. And he can sell it, too! For a while, I was saying "Bad Horse Dance" as I was singing along.
(Are you laughing now with me?)
But thanks to the brilliance of Brian Stokes, a Dad with a daughter with apraxia, he has developed an amazing app that actually S-L-O-W-S down any song without changing the pitch!
Cool, huh?
In fact, this app could be used by SLPs during therapy sessions as background music of familiar tunes, help with articulation issues, teach and learn new songs, and so on!
You can see Brian's website here and learn more about the app!
***Add your favorite songs from your music library.
***Play songs at three speeds: normal, slower and slowest.
***Configure just how slow you want each speed.
***Stream songs to your AppleTV over AirPlay.
In the App Store on iTunes, it is only $1.99!!!!
You can also follow SlowTunes on Twitter and LIKE them on Facebook!
And for two readers (if you are reading this to the end and are paying attention), Brian is offering a couple of free codes!
Congrats to the first two people that grabbed these codes! And thank you, again, Brian for a wonderful app to help our kids struggling with speech issues!
5 comments:
I got the second one. Thank you!!ReplyDelete
Love this! When Audrey was 2, I bought a slow-version sing-along with fun kid songs on it from the apraxia website. Wish this app was around at the time.ReplyDeleteReplies
The "Time to Sing" CD is awesome, but Mama and Daddy can only take so much. Plus, she got where she was demanding Bieber. (That one's a double-edged sword.)Delete
This app is a great way for verbally-challenged kids to learn and be familiar with their ABCs through songs! Though the "bad horse dance" could definitely be a title for a parody to Lady Gaga's Bad Romance. Haha! Kidding aside, the best part of the app is people can add their own songs from their music library, and they can also change the pace of the music 3 times. I wish people would get to know more about this app, especially those who wants to help their child overcome their speech problems. Cheers!ReplyDelete

Some examples of federal crimes include the use of biological weapons, acts of civil disorder, kidnapping, and racketeering, just to name a few. If you are accused of a federal crime, you should enlist the services of a federal crime lawyer who works with these federal laws and understands the federal courts and their procedures.

Introductory Pharmacy Practice I: Professional Role Observations (PROS)
Student Academic Level: P-1 (1st Professional Year)
The purpose of this entry-level introductory practice experience is to enhance student awareness of the role of pharmacists in various pharmacy practice settings. Students receive several hours of classroom preparation on the course expectations prior to the start date of the experience.
As part of the on-site rotation that can best be described as "sophisticated shadowing" each student
Professional Role Observations (PROS) is a one-week experience for P1 students in the fall semester. PROS covers 64 hours over a two-week period. Students change practice sites for the second week (i.e. students at a community site will change to a hospital site). Rotations are generally four eight-hour days but may be modified to alternative schedules best conducive to learning at a particular site.
Service Learning
Service learning is a form of experiential education in which students engage in activities that address human and community needs together with structured opportunities designed to promote student learning and development. Students in their first professional year are enrolled in a service learning course during the spring semester. Students participate in the designated service learning project during a three-week time span in which they have no curricular obligations.

Donations of new and nearly new children's items are what make the Giving Factory possible, and make it so efficient and effective. We accept donations of new and nearly new clothing, shoes, books, baby items, and school supplies for kids ages 0 to 12.
Wondering what to do with those clothes that your children barely wore, before they outgrew them? Want a place to recycle that stroller or those children's books so that other kids can enjoy them, too? Working with our partner social-service organizations, Cradles to Crayons gives your new and nearly new children's items to deserving children around the greater Philadelphia region area.
We can only accept quality items – goods that "our" children will be proud to own, and which will help make them feel valued. Help us by donating only clothes that are in good condition, baby equipment that is safe and sound, school supplies that are unopened, and so on.
For more information about what we need and what we can accept, please review our donation quality standards. Please note: due to recent drop side crib recalls, we are no longer accepting any cribs.
