SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo University softball team (29-23, 8-13 SSC) split a pair of Sunshine State Conference contests with the Eckerd College Tritons, Wednesday evening from University Field. In game one, Tatiana Casis delivered her 15th home run of the 2009 campaign in the third inning as the Lions routed the Tritons 12-0 in five innings. Unfortunately, the Lions were not able to maintain the momentum as they fell behind early in game two and despite a late charge fell 7-6.
Also, four seniors dawned the Lions jersey for the last time at University Field as the program said its goodbyes to Stephanie Discepolo, Ally Maddox, Ashley Urbanik and Casis.
Casis led the charge at the plate though as she went 5-for-6 with four extra-base and seven RBI. Maddox also enjoyed a tremendous night going 3-for-7 while picking up her fourth home run of the season and driving in four runs. Junior Tiffinee Harvey continued her hot hitting as she went 4-for-6 two doubles, a run and five runs scored. Brittany Yates blasted her 13th home run over the fence in game two as she went 2-for-7 with a double and five RBI. Amber Martyn had a solid night for the Lions collecting three base hits. Danielle Moreda and Ali Lamb etched their names into the hit column as they each delivered a single.
Saint Leo came with all cylinders firing in game one, as they struck with a four spot in the first inning. Ager led the inning off with a walk and was quickly moved to second by a single up the middle by Harvey. Casis then delivered the first big blow of the game with a triple to deep right centerfield putting the Lions up 2-0. Three batters later, Maddox sent a line drive up the middle to score Urbanik from third. Moreda followed with an infield single to shortstop scoring Maddox from third base.
After Urbanik shutdown the Tritons in the top of the second, the Lions exploded for five more runs in the bottom of the inning. Casis used a one out double to put two runners in scoring position and Urbanik followed with a walk to load the bases. After Yates reached on a two-run error by the Tritons, Maddox blasted a three-run home run down the leftfield line. The shot is the 18th of her four year career.
Casis struck again in the third inning. With the Lions up 9-0, she blasted the Lions second three-run home run of the ball game down the leftfield line. The shot was the 15th home run of the season for the Lions slugger, breaking the all-time single season home run record of 14 set by Urbanik and Casis back in 2008. The home run is the 29th of her career and stands second in career home runs.
12 runs was well more than enough for Urbanik (18-19), as the Lions' hurler dominated the circle once again. She went all five innings against the Tritons, scattering three hits, striking out seven and did not allow a base on balls for the second straight time.
Game two did not turn out the way the Lions expected as they quickly found themselves in a five-run deficit after just two innings of play.
Eckerd plated two runs on two hits in the top of the first inning off of Urbanik, who started game the second game for the Lions.
SLU answered back in the bottom of the inning, as Casis sent a line drive over the right field to tie the ballgame at two apiece.
Eckerd continued to chip away at Urbanik and the Lions defense, as they scored five runs in the second inning off of four hits and two Lions' miscues.
With the Tritons holding a 7-2 lead, Harvey used one swing of the bat to pull Saint Leo back within four, sending a solo shot over the left centerfield fence.
Kristen Kelly came in for relief of Urbanik in the middle of the second and shut the Tritons down over the next five innings of work as she did not allow a single hit.
The teams matched zeros during the fourth, fifth and sixth innings, but Saint Leo tried to produce one last comeback.
Harvey led off the final inning of play with a double which was followed by a Casis walk. Yates then stepped to the plate with one out and crushed a three run home run against the foul pole down the leftfield line to pull the Lions within one, 7-6.
The Lions couldn't produce anymore though, as Eckerd recovered to get the final two batters and the win.
Despite the loss, the Lions secured the conference series win with a victory in the first game, their second SSC series win of the season.
In the split with the Tritons, the squad hit five home runs as they surpassed the team home run record of 51 set in 2008 with 55 in 2009 with three games remaining.
The Lions hit the field one more time this 2009 season when they travel to Melbourne, Fla. to take the Panthers of Florida Tech. SLU will play two on Saturday with the first pitch coming 1:00 pm. The game will be broadcast live on the Saint Leo Lions AudioCast Network.

Sarah Michelle Gellar & Liev Schreiber: Brentwood Country Mart Buddies
Taking care of a few errands, Sarah Michelle Gellar showed up at the Brentwood Country Mart in Brentwood, California on Tuesday (January 28).
The "Cruel Intentions" cutie ended up running into fellow Tinseltown star Liev Schreiber while she was browsing the shelves and they ended up deep in discussion.
Upon their exit, SMG and Liev both appeared to be enjoying each other's company as they laughed and said goodbye.
Meanwhile, Ms. Gellar has been performing a balancing act between her CBS comedy "The Crazy Ones" with Robin Williams and her handsome hubby Freddie Prinze Jr and their two kiddos.

Michelle comes to the clinic with a toilet trauma that is taking over her life. Following a hysterectomy, Michelle has been unable to fully remove waste from her bottom, requiring her to insert her fingers into her vagina in order to help push the poo out. Dr Pixie suspects a Rectocele, and sends her to a specialist. Having undergone several tests, Michelle is cleared for a surgical procedure to repair the rectocele, which is carried out with apparent success.

Please help! I had a rectocele and a cystocele repair done in April 2015 sex is still very uncomfortable a year on and I tear every time with intercourse at the bottom of my vagina,do i go back? Will they be able to fix this problem? I was told sex could be painful after but I don't think I can carry on like this.PLEASE HELP
I had rectocele and levator plasty operation- rectocele was causing constipation and soiling,and discomfort. The lack of pelvis floosr was following the breech delivery of my eldest (now 30) year old son and a major episiotomy.I subsequently had five more childre, (currently ages 18,17, 11,9 and 8) The operation was a complete shambles. The colorectal surgeon says his side of the operation is a success- the rectocele has been removed, the pelvic floor tightened. Healed well.However I am totally faecally incontinent. I have little forewarning of a bowel motin and complete inability to control this. It is totally effecting every aspect of my life. I am trying colnic irrigation- but this is not helping nad very intrusive. It simply seems to wash out the piece of bowl that has just been emptied, but doesn't stop the next bowel motion arriving as soon asit wants to.As a teacher I live ind read of this happening in front of a class of kids- and avoid eating during the school day. (I then am hungry and grumpy and eat anything edible when I get home. I cannot find any facts or figures looking at the success rate of the operation I had. I would not have agreed had I not been assured that the outcome was likely to improve things. I didn't expect nappies and anal plugs and discomfort . I am only 52... is this it fort he rest of my life? I am embarrassed and ashamed. yet still trying to be positive.
Hi i have had a protogram which revealed a rectal prolapse and a rectalseale. Also i have had a sigloydoscopy which showed a lot of hemroids. What will happen next.
I have read with interest the comments put forward. There appears to be much controversy with regards to rectal prolapse, whether internal intussusception or full blown rectal prolaspe. In my experience. A top leading London hospital inferring that my prolapse issues were within limits on the colorectal side. Gynaecology not convinced my symptoms were of true uterine prolapse and worried to operate ie hysterectomy or suspension surgery and semi-discharged. If Channel 4 would like to high light that there appears to be no leading hospital that deals with prolapse for women in all 3 departments. St. Marks is a bowel hospital not a prolapse hospital. Women are seeking forum sights to get help from other patients. A more than sad state of affairs. I have been told that I am a candidate for Ventral Rectopexy. I do not however suffer with constipation, or digital emptying. It is has taken all of 4 years to get to this point. The stress has been enormous. I have had a journey of seeing a number of consultants and my life has very much gone on hold. The surgery Ventral recropexy is very much controversial not many doctors have the skill for the operation and hence do not promote the op which may or may not have a 50-60 per cent success rate. The patient is not able to be put in touch with past patients for reassurance and therefore is left with a very uncertain future. If channel 4 is able to promote this problem. So many women young and old are left in a helpless situation. Many are given the wrong surgery which in fact can hasten the speed of rectal prolapse Ie Hysterectomy can make everything worse. This is more than a sad state of affairs. I am also a patient and still struggling with this daily issue. A dedicated prolaspe hospital needs to come about, bringing colorectal and gynaecology together. The top london hospitals are not doing this. This is more than an unsatisfactory state of affairs in 2015. Especially if you are the patient. A hosptial which is dedicated to purely prolaspe issues for men and women needs
Hi Sandra. I have had a hystero-uterosacropexy due to a prolapsed womb (stage 3) bladder and bowel in 2012. I have mesh around my womb screwed into the ligaments at the base of my spine. The bladder and bowel were repaired vaginally, without mesh. I had a fantastic urogynaecologist at St Peters Hospital in Chertsey, who did an amazing job. Sadly in 2014 I went back to see him as I still had trouble evacuating without splinting. Where I suffer with IBS so badly and was straining, i had made another rectocele, but higher up in the vagina. I was sent to see a colonrectal surgeon to see if it was something they needed to fix, and after a proctogram, was told no, the urogynae needed to operate. So in April 2015, I was operated on again, though the vagina. Unfortunately now I have a very secure back wall in my vagina, I still have a rectocele which a second proctogram showed. I was asked to have anal rectal physiology, which St Peters do have, and they also have an MDT (multi discipline team) meeting once a month to discuss patients with pelvic floor issues. Unfortunately the biofeedback and ARP has been a bit of a disappointment and more talking than anything else. The colonrectal surgeon suggested having biofeedback at St Marks in London, but they are a specialist bowel hospital but again, they don't have all the details from the gastroenterologist, the urogynae, the colon rectal, Anal Rectal teams etc, plus its miles to travel, so I face your pain. When a second proctogram revealed the prolapse was still there, I was advised that a Ventral Rectopexy would be an option for me but because I have had 2 surgeries already, this comes at a high risk of complications, erosion of tissue, and the possibility of a colostomy bag if it goes wrong. The consultant sent me to Southampton hospital, for a second opinion and they too have a good unit whereby the urogynae and colonrectal surgeons work together. The difficulty we have is finding them. I too have been told I need to do colonic irrigation, in Southampton you have district nurses come to your house and show you how to do it, at St Peters, I'm still waiting for that elusive appt to let me know when I can see them . So what I am saying is, St Marks, St Peters and Southampton all have colonrectal surgeons,and anal rectal physiology depts. I know at St Peters, Mr Bearn and Mr Gelman work closeley together and I know Karen Nugent in Southampton has a urogyne that she works closely with. I do wish that more places did it and that it wasn't something that they are still trying to find the next best cure for. I am currently having psychotheraphy to learn how to deal with the situation, as I've been told its too risky to operate on me, but i need the operation in order to function. Next step is to work out how to manage... Sometimes, its not as simple as just having IBS is it. ;-(
Iv been diagnosed with a rectoceil following. Hildbirth. Consultant not keen to operate as not severe but i hate it and it's really affecting my life. Heard but reports on success of repair surgery.
Hello, past year and a half I knew something major was wrong( Rectocele ), soo painful walking and doing dishes even with that awful pressure in lower abdomen. Can't pee unless I have B.M first, then gas releases like a balloon, my abdomen will feel slightly better, then I can pee.intercourse is very uncomfortable,flank pain also. During that year and half , my Obgyn said nothing of this problem, a urologist said my bladder was pressing slightly to uterus, I had internal imaging of uterus and they found cysts on ovaries, NOT 1 mention of Rectocele !! So I had 3 hernia repair 9/8/14, a day stay turned into a 4 day stay due to not being able to urinate on my own! Again, nooo mention of Rectocele !! Now it's 3/15 and I again pushed to see urogynocholgy, and She found Rectocele . My QUESTION , How Could this be missed when it's visable by looking as well as by touching!! The Hospital said I couldn't pee after hernia surgery due to reaction from anestisia !!! They never is investigated, just kept sticking catheter in every 6 hours for me to pee untill day 4 , I did on my own and was sent home. I've been suffering from this Rectocele , and how could no one notice?????
I suspect i have a rectocele prolapse. I have been to the doctors 3 times and no gp has found this. How can i see a urogynecologist as they are the experts in the field?
Rita which hospitals did you go to before the last one. I have Beeb told by a radiologist that I have a grade 3 full thickness rectal prolapse, but the surgeon advised he is going to do a halo op similare to the haemorroidectomy. I do not want this either as people who have had this report severe pain and time off work for months as unable to sit.
Iv been diagnosed with a rectoceil. Dr not keen to operate and recommended physio and to wait 6mnths. Im 8 weeks post baby but its really getting me down. I constantly feel it and feel wet and as if my vvagina and anus are wide open. What should i do?
.I had my hysterectomy 40 years ago, never had a problem. Then I just had a problem with sex. My husband could not enter me. That is when I found the rectocole at the opening of my vagina. I am 65 years old , and did not want to wait to fix this. I had two Doctors tell me the same thing .The wall that holds my bowel from entering my vagina fell down. I had the surgery two weeks ago . The surgery went through my vagina ,and used only my own tissue for repair .My rectom had pain for 3 days , now I feel much better . I go to the Doctors next week. Good luck in desiding what to do.

UPDATE: Stone Temple Pilots Fire Scott Weiland
UPDATE: Stone Temple Pilots front man Scott Weiland has commented on being terminated from the band, stating the following…
"I learned of my supposed 'termination' from Stone Temple Pilots this morning by reading about it in the press. Not sure how I can be 'terminated' from a band that I founded, fronted, and co-wrote many of its biggest hits, but that's something for the lawyers to figure out."
Credit: TMZ
ORIGINAL: Billboard reports that the Stone Temple Pilots have fired Scott Weiland, the band he has been the singer of since 1986.
There has been no other information given on the firing and the band has not responded. Their Wikipedia page already shows Weiland as a former member. Guitarist Dean DeLeo, bassist Robert DeLeo and drummer Eric Kretz are still on board.
Weiland will begin a tour with his other band The Wildabouts on Friday in Flint, Michigan. He has not commented on being fired.
STP finished a tour in September that had 23 dates including shows at the Vic in Chicago and Revel Ovation Hall in Atlantic City. The band hasn't updated its website since January 3 when it posted: "New information coming soon."
They formed in 1986 as Mighty Joe Young and then changed their name to Stone Temple Pilots. They released the album Core in September 1992 during the Grunge movement. The album had the hit songs "Plush," "Wicked Garden" and "Sex Type Thing". It peaked at #3 on the Billboard 200. It makes up for five million of the band's 13.3 million albums sold in the US. Six of their albums hit the top ten of the Billboard 200, including 1994's Purple (three weeks at #1), 1996's Tiny Music…Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop, 1999's No.4 and 2001's Shangri-La Dee Da.
The band broke up in 2002 with several members going to supergroups including Velvet Revolver (Weiland) and Army of Anyone (the DeLeo brothers). They got back together in 2008, toured and released a self-titled album in 2010.
They've also had 21 songs on the Alternative Songs chart between 1993 and 2010, but didn't get #1 until 2010's "Between the Lines".

A genealogical journey of discovery while I track the faint, sometimes hidden, or long lost, footprints of my ancestors through time. It's not alway easy to find a trail, left not in soil, grass, wood, or rock, but in papers, stories, and records. It is always rewarding, and sometimes exciting! Follow along and I'll share the free tools, tricks, and on-line resources I find in my adventures.
About the Author
I was born Eric Schweer in the big city of Denver, Colorado. Within a few days, I was taken to the only place I will ever truly call home. Fairplay Co. sitting high in the mountains west of Denver at an elevation of nine thousand nine hundred and some feet, (we claim 10,000). I was baptized in the Sheldon Jackson Memorial Church, and given the baptismal name William to honor my paternal Great Great Grandfather and his father, Whispering Bill. My maternal Grandfather, who assigned nick names to all the grandchildren, saddled me with the moniker my siblings still use, Rico.
My child hood was an idyllic amalgamation of wonderful memories. The youngest of four, I was always the "protected" one. No mater who I was with, no one was allowed to pick on me except that particular sibling. I had a fabulous youth, romping around the mountains and wilderness that became my "chapel" in life. I'm not a religous person in such that I attend a church or claim a specific denomination. I can be very spiritual about the outdoors and mother nature with all her beauties and beasts. Managing to stay out of serious trouble, I had my fair share of mischievous escapades.
I inherited my love of nature, and I suppose most of my traits from my Father, a silent, loving, and charitable man. He bestowed upon me a love of reading and acquiring knowledge from books and life in general. He also instilled in me, a belief system of the old west, hard work and honesty, accompanied by ingenuity and loyalty, are worth more than money or material possessions. His charitable nature led him to voluteer for many functions within the community such as search and rescue, ambulance service, mounted posse, School ski program, and many more. Following his example, I did many of the same things in my young adulthood. Memories of my fathers spirit keep me pushing forward and I suppose always will.
My Mother was a hard working, dedicated professional in the medical field. A nurse for nearly 50 years she finally retired to the mountains of New Mexico. She spent her entire professional life helping others and improving the hospital systems of many states. Now in her retirement, she has not let the ball drop, and is pursuing her masters in nursing. She has also compiled her memoirs into a fabulous story she calls Passages of Time. I hope she has it published at some point.
As for me, I have varied my life experiences, serving in the Army, working for the State Highway Dept., Patroling the streets of my home town and county in unifrom for 9 years, working as a heavy equipment mechanic, owning my own wrecker service, and working as a plumber. I never lost my love of the outdoors, and often make trips to commune with Mother Nature. I found that I enjoy writing, and have started and maintained many blogs. Writing about any number of things on all of them, and even a little fiction here and there. I married in the same church where I was baptized, to a woman from the south, I fell in love with in that sleepy little mountain town. She dragged me, kicking and screaming the whole way, to the flatlands of Texas where I remain so far.
My siblings, two girls and one boy, have followed their own individuality, and are spread around the US. We search now, for the trail our ancestors left behind. Following faint footprints through time, to find the stories and traditions hidden there.

I decided to look deeper into the Windows 7 beta and found some interesting things.
Though they may only be interesting because I'm a geek but I figured I would still share them.
I will update this topic with new information should I find out anymore which I'm quite sure I will.
1) There are some new Known Folders:
* Real folders inside the C:\Users\[User Name] directory:
AppData\Local\Ringtones - I would assume this has something to do with storing Ringtones for Cell Phones. My best guess it Device Stage allows ringtones to be downloaded/uploaded to a phone and thus needs this directory
AppData\Local\UserProgramFiles - This is probably to allow software to install per-user instead of per-machine thus allowing software installs to the user's profile when they are the only ones using the software. This is good because it will allow installs with any need for prompts from UAC and it will allow software to be installed that will not affect any other user on the computer. Thus one user can install Mozilla Firefox to their profile and another can install Opera, etc. though of course the installers for each program will need to be updated.
Very little changes will be needed for Google Chrome though as it already installs to AppData\Local\Google\Program in Windows Vista so it will be a simple one line change for Google Chrome. This also helps the people who were unhappy that Chrome installed to the wrong location (AppData\Local should only be used for configuration not software) but when there is no correct location for that purpose in Windows Vista was really no other option available.
AppData\Roaming\Quick Launch\User Pinned - This directory stores the shortcuts the user has pinned to their taskbar.
AppData\Roaming\Quick Launch\User Pinned\ImplicitAppShortcuts - This directory does the same as above only I think it's for Windows to automatically pin things like Help and Support when they are relevent to an open program and then remove them when that program is closed.
* Virtual Folders in the [User Name] special folder
Library SuggestedLocations - Must have something to do with suggesting places to go in Windows Explorer.
Library Documents - By default combines the Documents folder in C:\Users\[User Name] and the Documents folder in C:\Users\Public. To tell them apart Windows Explorer lists each as "My Documents" and "Public Documents" under the "Documents" header. At first I was worried when I first saw that the "My" prefix came back but then I relized how silly and confusing a folder named "Documents" that appeared under a Library named "Documents" would be.
Library Music, Pictures and Videos - The same as Documents library only for there respective purposes.
* Real folders in the root of the C:\ drive
C:\ProgramData\CommonRingTones - The public folder to the per-user ringtones directory listed above.
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceMetaDataStore - I would assume this directory has something to do with storing Device Stage hardware information files.
2) In folder options there are the following new options:
* Show All Folders
This option returns the folder list to the Windows Vista style of showing all folders like Computer, Network, Recycle Bin and the Contents of the desktop.
This option is turned off by default and when it's off only Libraries, Homegroup, Computer and Network are shown with each seperated by a certain amount of space.
* Automatically expand to the current folder
This option returns to the the behavior of Windows Vista when the folder list is automatically expanded by default.
It is turned off by default to save time as expanding the list takes time due to getting a list of the folders from the file system and displaying them which you don't always want or need.
* Hide empty drives in the Computer
This option hides drives from the special Computer folder when they are empty.
I can see this being really useful for people like me who have a card reader for many different card types which puts 4 drives in the Computer Window. If you only use 1 slot most of the time the rest just waste space.
This option is turned on by default
3) Inconsistant things in the User Interface.
* Favorites in Windows Explorer are stored in C:\Users\[UserName]\Links while Internet Explorer Bookmarks are stored in C:\Users\[UserName]\Favorites.
I could see some people getting really confused by that.
* The file C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe still exists to show gadgets sanes the Sidebar so any gadgets set to always be one top will always sit obove other Windows instead of docked beside them.
As someone who docked gadgets in Windows Vista, this confuses me.
And from looking at the Microsoft TechNet Forums Topic: Getting the Vista behaviour for gadgets back again?, I'm not the only one wondering why Microsoft did this.

Celtic jamming at Frog Level
A group of varied musicians gather every Thursday for a jam session at Frog Level Brewing Company, and on the first and third Thursday they can be heard playing Celtic classics.
On March 7, about 10 musicians filtered into Frog Level to play some Celtic favorites. Randy Jones of Cullowhee and Christine Mercier of Sylva were the first ones there warming up their fiddles. They've been playing with the group for about a year.
Mercier only started playing the violin five years ago when she moved to the area.
"There's so much music around here," she said. "When I moved here I knew I needed to get in on it and the violin is a real challenge of an instrument."
Robert Lindy of Cullowhee brings the unique sound of the bodhrán, Irish for drum, to the group. He's been playing the instrument for 20 years and said he has played with the group "off and on" for a year.
Jim Webb of Waynesville said Asheville was a popular spot for all kinds of jam sessions, but he felt like Haywood County needed its own because of all the great local musicians.
Webb plays classical flute and used to play with the local band Celtic Knots.
"But with the jam session it's less stressful," he said. "If you don't want to come you don't have to come. It's very informal."
The jam session group rotates between old time mountain music and Celtic music each Thursday, but Webb said there was just something special about Celtic music that everyone enjoyed.
"We like the music because it kind of goes back to the old European roots," he said. "It's a source for a lot of music and has a folksy spirit to it."
The group includes many different ability levels and welcomes beginners to join. The do jigs and reels, with a ballad thrown in now and again — but usually don't play at full tempo because of the range of experience.
Many of the musicians play multiple instruments, including the youngest in the group Keegan Lucky-Smith, 17, of Crabtree, who plays tenor banjo and mandolin.
Bess Crider of Waynesville leads the group through the numbers as she plays the hammered dulcimer, stringed instrument perfect for any folk type music. She's been playing the instrument for 15 years and started jamming with the group more than a year ago.
"We busted wanted to have a place to play," she said.
Susan and Tom Withrow of Candler also joined the group on March 7. Susan plays violin and flute while Tom plays violin and banjo.
Rodney Rogers and David Russell, both of Waynesville, brought their years of guitar experience to the group. Russell also plays the Irish bouzouki.
The group can be seen from 6:30-8 p.m. each Thursday at Frog Level Brewing Company and newcomers are welcome. For more information, contact Jim Webb at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Then this is the group for you!

- Most of our activities take place in Tampa, with some activities extending throughout the Tampa Bay area.

Christopher Bantick's fear for the next generation (Comment, 7/1) is a recurring and tired trope. If the high art he wishes to foist on all of us expands intellect and gets creative juices flowing, we might expect him to have something new to say. Bantick's own hero, Mahler, was inspired by street songs and folk tunes. Yet we should discard today's poets? Leonard Cohen, Lou Reed, Kurt Cobain are all worth naught?
Bantick's real problem is this: staid and conservative institutions are threatened by the new and the radical. Art that is relevant to the masses, that is not sanctioned and controlled by elites, will never appeal to them. I will not be shamed into putting aside the wordplay of rappers and their telling of racial injustice, the lyricism of Cohen and Cobain, the energy and anger of the punk movement or the deep tribal pulsing of modern electronica.
Cameron McKenzie, East Kew
Working with our students
I admire Christopher Bantick's optimism if he believes that most students have heard of Leonard Cohen, let alone Mahler. Cultural elitism is only of use if students have something to compare their culture to. Grounds for explaining why something is better than something else. Most literature teachers would love to teach Jane Eyre, but end up teaching Looking for Alibrandi (I have taught both) because there is more chance of taking that next step through such a novel.
I am currently designing a year 10 literature course based on A. A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh and Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. This is not because my students are less intelligent than Bantick's, but because they have not been exposed to these texts in their original forms. We are not pandering to their celebrity culture but working with the students we have.
Andrew Dixon, Glen Waverley
Learning – throughout life
The enjoyment of different forms of culture does not have to be mutually exclusive. The venerable patrons, probably not blue-rinsed, of theatre and classical music concerts are of an age where they possibly appreciated the Beatles and Rolling Stones. Listening to Cohen, or the wonderful Tim Minchin, does not prevent me from enjoying Beethoven.
Inanity is not limited to the present day. Pavarotti, Keats, Wagner et al. would also have had their moments. They may even have had the occasional negative comments from the "intelligentsia" of their day. Interest in music, literature and learning continues beyond the confines of school and involves freedom of choice. Thank goodness.
Barbara Chivers, Box Hill North
A double standard on the 'elite'
What a wonderful article by Christopher Bantick. For too long, many in the education system have sat idly by, whilst a genuine understanding of classic literature, art and music is passed over for sanctimonious drivel with little intellectual merit.
As a master's of teaching student at Melbourne University, I see it as a momentous challenge to turn the tide of opinion when it comes to the appreciation of the arts. Promoting elitism in these areas is essential if we are to have future generations who are able to aim high in these areas of academe.
How is it in Australian society that we value our elite athletes and television stars, yet those who seek to teach rigorous literature or classical history are derided as snobs? We need to lift our standards in all facets of the humanities and not lose our passion for high culture.
Denis McKinnon, Terang
Lift the cloud of secrecy
''Turning back the boats when safe to do so'' was tested recently (and it seems, last year) when unseaworthy boats were turned around, only to be stranded on an island off Timor (The Age, 8/1). The vessels could easily have sunk, potentially with loss of life. Transferring people to lifeboats and leaving them in the open sea is not a solution.
International conventions and the law of the sea require ships to come to the aid of vessels in distress, which, given the boats barely made it to the nearest island, was clearly the case.
Indonesia is not happy with the policy and sees it as an affront to its sovereignty. Also, we only became aware that boats had been turned back via the Indonesian media, not the Australian government. This cloud of secrecy, under the veil of being a military or ''operational matter'', is not acceptable in a democracy.
Dennis O'Connell, Ivanhoe
A disastrous policy
So the government is buying up to 16 hard-hulled lifeboats – similar to those carried by cruise ships and oil tankers – to which asylum seekers can be transferred and returned to Indonesia if their own vessels are unseaworthy. This latest ''swap a boat'' scheme is further proof, if any was needed, that the government's strategies to deter asylum seekers venturing to sea on death traps are not working.
Margaret Kicaj, Bundoora
Committed to serve
As a young female in the middle of recruitment for the Victorian police force, I am extremely saddened by the horrific injuries acquired by two junior policewomen (The Age, 6/1).While many people assume such a tragic incident would deter future officers, I am nothing but inspired to keep fighting for this career. I know the great sacrifice and bravery our female officers bring to the force.
Jade Dwyer, Caulfield South
The homeless crisis
Wayne ''Mousey'' Perry's tragic death has drawn attention to people experiencing homelessness. Not all this attention is helpful, including references to him ''shunning'' services and ''choosing'' to live on the streets (Editorial, 7/1). Victorian homelessness services are overwhelmed with demand and 86 people every day are turned away. The leading cause of homelessness in Victoria is family violence. Next are housing affordability stress and housing crisis. Battling people are being evicted from affordable housing without enough thought. These are the consequences – people end up on the streets with all the danger that entails. Evictions need to be a last resort.
Lucy Adams, JusticeConnect Homeless Law
A tragedy for all
It is disappointing that so much attention is being given to where Easton Woodhead, who was charged with the murder of Wayne ''Mousey'' Perry, went to school (The Age, 8/1).
I wonder if this would have been mentioned if it had not been a private school. Mental illness can happen to anyone, regardless of their life circumstances. What has happened is a tragedy for all concerned.
Belinda Burke, Hawthorn
Better? Definitely not
Rod Sims, the chairman of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, says: ''Generally, the private sector will run commercial enterprises more efficiently than the government'' (The Age, 7/1).
Maybe he should ask passengers about their opinion of train efficiency, and the electricity/gas suppliers why they use middlemen to sell electricity/gas (when the old State Electricity Commission did not), leading to high charges these days.
Philippe Yow, Ferntree Gully
Love is all you need
Cory Bernardi, could you please explain the behaviour of paedophile priests, who for years got away with sexually abusing their young charges. I suppose we can blame their behaviour and all the ills of society on being raised in single-parent, step or same-sex families.
I also wonder how you would explain how some people, who despite growing up in a traditional family, with a mum and dad, end up abused, psychologically scarred or on the wrong side of the track. Sometimes a married mum and dad is not the ''gold standard'' for children. Regardless of what type of family you grow up in, all a child needs is love and lots of it.
Vita Mezzatesta, Pascoe Vale
Sharks and whales
Given the strong reactions of people to the Western Australian government's plan to kill sharks, imagine how the public will react if they find out their federal environment minister is failing to protect our harmless, majestic whales from being slaughtered in our oceans by Japanese whalers.
Maxwell Smith, Kew
Why netting is wrong
Netted backyard fruit trees can become deaths traps for wildlife and dramas for householders who try to free them (The Age, 8/1). Entangled bats suffer from lacerations, strangulation and other injuries. Female flying foxes can become frantic to escape if they have a bub waiting for them in the colony. The best policy is to not net trees. Alternatively, use wildlife-safe netting products. If an animal becomes entangled, call a wildlife rescue service such as Wildlife Victoria rather than risking injury to yourself or the animal.
Lawrence Pope, Victorian Advocates for Animals, Carlton North
Call for a reality check
As a doctor who works in aged-care facilities, I am astounded by patients returning from public hospitals with new medications, typically those listed by Amanda Vanstone (Comment, 6/1). Doctors forget that aged-care facilities are not acute-care hospitals for people with 50 years of life-expectancy. We are all depressed at the prospect of institutional care but this does not require antidepressants. Cholesterol-lowering medications have benefits some years into the future, so are futile in a 90-year-old. Bone-strengthening medications are futile in bed- or chair-ridden patients. Expensive investigations show diseases expected in the elderly, but patients are too frail to have major surgery, so what is the point?
On the other hand, many families want all stops pulled out, and often supply multiple ''complementary medications''. Education seems indicated.
Dr Igor Jakubowicz, Knoxfield
Dangerous practices
Bernadette Clohesy (Letters, 8/1), the medication incident that you describe in an aged-care facility points to the staff member not having enough training or regulation in medication administration. The absence of documentation about the event suggests a lack of accountability.
Many procedures and practices in such facilities, such as staff numbers, task allocation and scheduling of activities, are governed by cost before safety and residents' comfort. Medication is commonly administered by registered and enrolled nurses. However, in some facilities this important activity can also be performed by a personal care attendant with no supervision and whose training, education and ongoing practice is unregulated by health authorities.
Alison Baker, registered nurse, Hallam
Perfect in every way
Thank you, Christine Richards, for ''There's more to Frankston than beer and bogans'' (Comment, 7/1), written in conjunction with three other former Frankston mayors. It highlighted the benefits experienced by people living there: the magnificent beach, parks, nature reserves, galleries and theatre.We would also stress the friendliness of residents, the clean air and how fortunate we are to live in Frankston.
Joyce and Simon Welsh, Frankston
Less hype, please
Though delighted that we beat the old foe in the Ashes, I feel our media are being a little silly to hype the victory so much. England played so poorly and showed so little fight that it left me with a hollow feeling. Let us wait until we achieve similar wins over teams which show backbone and then (perhaps) claim Australia has regained its place in the cricket world.
Edmund McCarthy, Junee, NSW
Bank price gouging
Recently I took a $US1175.91 bank cheque from the State of California to deposit at Westpac. I was charged a $25 fee and an exchange rate premium of 4per cent – a total ''fee'' of $73 for clearing a bank cheque from a government treasury. The same rates would have applied from the other major banks.
Surely the ACCC should investigate the actual bank costs against these exorbitant charges. It is not like we have any options in clearing foreign cheques.
Jack Bhalla, Mitcham
Cory Bernardi
Perhaps the scariest thing about Bernardi is how close he is to Abbott.
Andrew Wood, Moonee Ponds
Bernardi would be better placed in Antioch in 1098 with similarly minded Christian gents fulfilling God's will.
Stephen Roach, Mia Mia
Asylum seekers
Secrecy is a tool of totalitarian governments. Democracy depends on voters being well informed.
Ken Baxter, Mitcham
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
Jean Tansey, Berwick
Mr Abbott, you have committed to stopping the boats. How about stopping the Japanese whaling ones?
Amanda Searle, Blackburn South
Morrison may need to order more lifeboats before the next election. The Coalition will be sunk by then.
Dawn Richards, Huntingdale
Buses are replacing trains on the Ballarat line due to track work. My bus was 30minutes quicker than the regular ''fast'' train.
Daryl Johnson, Southbank
The taxi industry is in crisis and will remain so until drivers receive a decent level of remuneration.
Phil Lipshut, Elsternwick
Police said the naked man stuck in a washing machine was distressed. Surely the correct word is agitated.
Greg Oates, Huon Creek
Red Symons, where the bloody hell are you?
Bert Cassidy, Blackburn South
Is it true that the English team's dietary requirements now include generous helpings of humble pie?
Fred Seymour, Surrey Hills
Channel Nine should be fined for allowing Australia's victory song to go to air.
Frank Braybrook, Runaway Bay, Qld

quote:youll be building your own soon and back on ARFCOM.
Gonna be honest, I'm going to miss checking this thread and ARFCO lower and upper threads every 15 minutes going forward.
A ban on high-capacity gun magazines has a good chance of passing the Republican-led U.S. House if it's offered as a stand-alone bill, said Representative Carolyn McCarthy, a New York Democrat. With opposition in Congress to an assault-weapons ban, advancing a broad package of firearms restrictions could imperil President Barack Obama's initiative to curb gun violence, McCarthy said today at a Bloomberg Government breakfast. She said a ban on the high-capacity devices that feed bullets and expanded background checks have support among lawmakers and could be approved.
I just don't see how they have enough repub votes in the house.

Thanks to Disney Baby for sponsoring this post and giving me Huggies Little Movers diapers for free.
One of the great things about having two other children around is their desire to help me with Macks. My oldest daughter is always asking how she can help me with her brother. She's not old enough to do the big stuff, but there is a lot that she can help me with. I love getting them involved with their little brother. Not only is it a great way to help build their relationship, but it also is a great way to teach them responsibility. Check out some of the ways that I get them involved in helping me with their little brother.
- Diaper Changes – Although they aren't old enough to change his diapers, they are old enough to help me get all of the diaper supplies. I'll have one grab me a Huggies Little Movers diaper and the other grab me some Huggies Natural Care Wipes. They then sit next to me and keep Macks entertained while I change his diaper. He is in a ultra-squirmy stage right now, so them keeping him occupied is a huge help.
- Feeding – Every once in a while, instead of nursing Macks, I'll give him a bottle. I've noticed that he doesn't take a bottle as well from me, so I often hand it off to others. The girls love to feed him and will take turns holding the bottle.
- Picking Out Clothes – My girls love anything that has to do with fashion. They look forward to picking out their clothes every morning. To get them involved with Macks (because they can't dress him on their own) I let them pick out his clothes. One will be in charge of the top and the other will be in charge of the bottoms. They love knowing that they helped get him dressed for the day.
- Play Time – If there is something that I need to get finished while Macks is awake, I'll let the girls lay on the ground with him and keep him entertained. They have come up with a way to make him laugh hysterically. It's the sweetest sound to hear and pretty magical to watch.
- In the Car – Macks isn't the biggest fan of the car, so I enlist in the help from my oldest daughter to keep him entertained while we are on car rides. The way that our car seats are positioned, it gives Macks and Harlan perfect view of one another.

Voxel Invaders is a new Android game from Noctua Software that puts you to work ridding the universe from hordes of alien fighters. It's got the feel of the classic game Space Invaders while still managing to keep things fun & fresh. Voxel Invaders is a great 1-finger game which means you can control your ship and fire with just one finger. Playing the game is as easy, but getting past the waves of attackers becomes much harder as you progress through the games 24 levels with over 140 stages. Voxel Invaders has several modes of difficulty, 9 different weapons, and several different alien bosses to battle. Basically your standard stuff, but what isn't standard are the 'retro 3D graphics' which isn't a term you'll hear very often. That's the best phrase I can put on the style of the game, and you'll quickly see what I mean when you pick it up and start playing.
Voxel Invaders is a great little space shooter that's easy to pick up and play, but hard to put down once you get going. There's plenty of depth in the 140 stages, and there's even a few surprises along the way as well. One power-up in particular got my attention pretty quickly as changes your view of things right in the thick of battle… very cool. There's a free version of Voxel Invaders that lets you check out the first 4 levels while the full version of Voxel Invaders gives you the whole shebang for only $2.49.

2008 TBR Challenge Completed
>> Tuesday, September 23, 2008
For the second year I've joined and completed MiizBooks' TBR Challenge. This is one I enjoy and one of the few I plan on doing again next year.
The rules were:
** Pick 12 books - one for each month of 2008 - that you've been wanting to read (that have been on your "To Be Read" list) for 6 months or longer, but haven't gotten around to.Obviously I opted to ignore the one a month part. I did that the first year and it bugged me to want to read a book but have to wait. So this time I picked 12 books for my primary list and 12 alternates. I managed to read 4 of my alternates before finishing the primary list. Now that I've read all the books on my primary list I'm calling this one completed.
** OPTIONAL: Create a list of "Alternates" (books you could substitute for your challenge books, given that a particular one doesn't grab you at the time)
** Then, starting January 1, 2008, read one of these books from your list each month, ending December 31, 2008. :o)
These are the books I read for this challenge.
The Primary 12:
- Faithless by Karin Slaughter – this is a series that can be pretty brutal, but I really like it
- The Kitchen Boy by Robert Alexander – enjoyable speculative historical fiction about the last Russian Tsar and his family
- Peter the Great by Robert Massie – a huge sweeping biography of a fascinating man
- Smonk by Tom Franklin – skip it and read Hell at the Breech instead
- The Diamond by Julie Baumgold – I expected more from this one and felt that it dragged a lot
- Jasmine Moon Murder by Laura Childs – this is a cozy mystery series about a teashop owner/ amateur sleuth in Charleston, SC
- London Bridges by James Patterson – when I want a fast read with lots of action I turn to James Patterson
- Black Wind by Clive Cussler – The Dirk Pitt series is being handed off to the second generation both in characters and authors
- The Magnificent Ambersons by Booth Tarkington – an American classic about changing times
- Tonight I Said Goodbye by Michael Koryta – a new author for me that I enjoyed
- Diana Lively is Falling Down by Sheila Curran – funny and entertaining in parts, puzzling in others
- Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson – a fun classic
- Aunt Dimity's Good Deed by Nancy Atherton – another cozy series, this one with a ghost
- Rueful Death by Susan Wittig Albert – more cozy mystery with an interesting main character who is a former lawyer turned herb shop owner
- Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult – she consistently manages to make me consider alternative viewpoints
- Pawley's Island by Dorothea Benton Frank – summer reading that makes me feel the sand in my toes and smell the ocean.
Several of these were the next book in one of the many series I'm reading. Others were just books I've been wanting to read for a long time. Most of them were either good or very good. None of them were excellent, which is probably why they'd been on the TBR list for a while.
The only read disappointments were The Diamond which didn't live up to my expectations and Smonk which was awful and a huge let down from an author I really like.
I've already decided that for next years TBR challenge, I'm going to ignore the one a month rule

The album''s title track , " The Power of Two, " a folk ballad orignally performed by The Indigo Grils about the difficulties of joys of love, emerges as one of the disc''s high points.

On Thursday, May 29, 2015 the Duluth Public Schools Academy (DPSA) Board
The Duluth City Planning Commission denied our wetland appeal in July. At this time, we are working with our attorney as well as the attorney representing the Snowflake landowner (Pacific Companies) and Tischer Creek Duluth Building Company to assess our appeal to the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources and other options as we continue to pursue the Snowflake site for our high school. Our attorneys are optimistic on a positive outcome. We are also working concurrently on other issues that present delay and expect our wetland issue to be heard sometime in the early fall. However, we recognize that these processes are on a timeline we cannot control and we want to be responsible in our planning and to our students and their families.

This thing smells amazing. I still have it from the September box and I am thinking about getting this in the full size. I love using this especially when I am traveling. It works pretty much as an all in one.5

Quick Tips about Maltese
- Maltese Size
- Maltese can weigh from 2 pounds to 12 pounds. The smaller ones are often called Teacup Maltese, Tiny Toy Maltese, or Extreme Tiny Maltese, but these are not different varieties or breeds.

- Maltese Coat
- Maltese have a long straightish coat, but it can be sheared short for easy grooming and an adorable "perpetual puppy" look.
- Maltese Colors
- Maltese are solid white, or white with light tan or lemon shadings on his ears.
- Maltese Pronunciation
