The Illinois State Genealogical Society is pleased to announce a new database entitled Illinois Conference of the Evangelical Church 1837-1937 Database (ICEC Records 1837-1937). This record set is a genealogical index to the book History of the Illinois Conference of the Evangelical Church 1837-1937 and contains close to 12,000 records, all available free to the genealogy community.
The database records are listed in "page order" for those wanting to see the records as they appear in the book. In addition, the database can be searched by Surname, Given Name/First Name and Field/Appointment, and results can be displayed in ascending and descending order.
A special thanks to ISGS members Oriene Springstroh and Sheryl Grandt who spent almost a year compiling this important research database.

History of the Illinois Conference of the Evangelical Church 1837-1937 (Authorized Centennial Edition, by Rev. John G. Schwab, assisted by Rev. H.H. Thoren, Ph.D., Chicago, IL (Harrisburg, Pa.: Evangelical Press).
This index names persons who were associated with the development of this German-speaking church denomination within the northern part of Illinois from the 1840s to 1937 and the capacity in which they were associated. Those persons were primarily clergymen, but early church founding members and others are often named. The overall structure of the book was based partly on annual conference records – yearly summaries of the activities of its churches and their members – and partly on the history of the circuits or fields where churches were founded..
It is possible with this database to flesh out the entire career of a man who served this church, including date of ordination, when he became a deacon or an elder, and dates and locations where he was stationed. Other personal information may also be found, such as family relationships and dates and places of birth, death, and burial.
- There is a separate entry in the database for each time a person is mentioned in the written text, including the event that prompted the record.
- Surname entries for the same individual were not always spelled consistently.
- Often only last names were noted in the book, with no initials or given names provided.
- Use of only first initial for names of ministers was frequent, but there were instances of the complete name.
- In most cases there is no additional information on the page from which the information was extracted. However, it may be helpful to see what other names and activities appear in the same frame of reference on the same page.
- Place names were not indexed.
- Conf. = Conference.
- Phrases within quotation marks are direct quotes from the text.
- Brackets [ ] within a comment indicate that an explanatory word or words were inserted for clarity.
- Varying phrases were used for the same agenda items from conference to conference, depending on who took the minutes and who compiled the report contained in the book. Meeting reports usually contained date, place, and name of the presiding bishop of the conference; the names of both the German and English language secretary(ies); recent deaths; names of those newly licensed to preach; names of those ordained as deacons or elders; recognition of newcomers to the conference and the departure of others; and the annual assignments of presiding elders over the conference districts.
- Serious students of this denomination may wish to obtain the book for closer examination. There is a copy at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library.

I have lived on Long Island for my entire life and I would never want to live anywhere else. We have it all, the simple life to the decadent life. My burger represents the best of both.
We love duck with it's cripsy skin and mushrooms and cognac just go hand and hand with it.

Without further ado, here's Matty and his answers for this month's Q&A...
1) Will the Moss-Man figure be delayed as result of the flocking issues and if so, will we get Trap-Jaw in March to replace him?
No, Moss Man will not be delayed.
2) Will MOTUC have a deluxe boxed exclusive at Comic-Con in 2010 or will you continue with the traditional blister card packaging like He-Ro and Faker?
We wont have that to announce until next spring!
3) If the demand is high enough would Mattel consider selling MOTUC-themed scenic cardboard backdrops for the line?
Possibly, but nothing is planned at this time.
4) Why are US customers suddenly being charged sales tax on their Matty Collector orders? Was this done to offset the cost of the white mailer boxes?

British Columbia
Conservation Northwest works with Canadian conservationists protecting grizzly bears and mountain caribou in B.C., close neighbors to Washington state and the Cascades and Selkirks.
Wildlife know no borders
Conservation Northwest works closely with Canadian and U.S. allies to protect Canadian old-growth forests and wildlife, from grizzly bears to mountain caribou, regionally. We use the tools of outreach, education, collaboration, and accountability from industry and government.
- An initiative to save grizzly bears and their habitat in southern B.C., from the Coast to Cascades
- Proposal for a new national park in southern British Columbia bordering Washington state
- We're working to conserve the last mountain caribou
- How Conservation Northwest helped protect five million acres of British Columbia's inland rainforest
- Snowy Mountain Protected Area: envisioning nature without borders
Conservation Northwest has been for many years the major regional U.S. group looking out for wildlife across the border, because "nature knows no borders." Indeed, British Columbia is a "pipeline" for wildlife diversity to the U.S. Wildlife need no passports to cross national borders. What they do need is some assurance of protection and protected habitat.
Our work protects a landscape in British Columbia that not only supplies diversity southward to the United States but is a lifeline for wide-ranging species from mountain caribou and moose to grizzly bears and fishers.
Diverse ecosystems, rich wildlife
Southern British Columbia encompasses distinct ecosystems, ranging from mountains to deserts to rainforest. Traveling across B.C. takes you from the open pine forests on the east side of the Coast Range, through very dry pocket deserts and grasslands of the Okanagan and Similkameen valleys, to wetter Columbia Mountains and interior rainforest. Crossing west of the Columbia River headwaters leads you to the westernmost range of the Rockies in the rainshadow of the Columbia and Purcell mountains.
The province's extremely diverse landforms provide habitat to equally rich and varied wildlife, from Canada lynx and wolverines, to badgers and rattlesnakes.
Inland Temperate Rainforest
The Inland Temperate Rainforest, stretching from the headwaters of the Fraser and Columbia Rivers to the northern extremes of Washington, Idaho, and Montana. This rainforest is the only place on earth where temperate rainforests are found so far inland from the sea.
Windward of the B.C. Rockies, weather systems from the Pacific Ocean collide with the Columbia Mountains to create lush interior forests, habitat for many unique plants and animals. Mountain caribou are one of hundreds of species of wildlife that rely on the Inland Temperate Rainforest, its deep snows, lichen-draped old growth trees, and bounteous lakes and rivers.
Thanks to the efforts of Conservation Northwest and other collaborators in the Mountain Caribou Project, in 2009 millions of hectares of inland temperate rainforest habitat were protected for endangered mountain caribou. The Southern Selkirks mountain caribou herd ranges down over the border of the Selkirk Mountains in northeastern Washington state.
Forest trade
In 2012, logging, much of it virgin forests, is still big business in British Columbia. It is the U.S. timber market that drives the cutting of old-growth forests. Two-thirds of the wood products from B.C.'s logged old-growth forests is exported to U.S. customers. While we support an ecologically sustainable timber industry and lumber trade between our two countries, we encourage Americans and Canadians to only buy wood products from certified sustainable sources. Protecting older forests assures sanctuary for mountain caribou and hundreds of other plant and animal species.

Urban Decay Liquid Liner Reviews
OkayI LOVE the rich color in these. I don't like the brush because it's soft so it makes it harder to get a thinner line. It's a bit hard to get the product out of the tube when it's running low, so you tend to waste a bit of it. The lasting power is slightly above normal, it tends smudge a little bit for me. I like some of the fun colors, but I think Mac Superslick liners work better for me. — 6 years, 6 months agovolta | 566 reviews

crashits purple, but not. it looks as keen as balck, but when you really look at it it is purple, with little flecks of sparkle. stays on and on. washes off reasonably, wihtout peeling out like some long last liquid liners. weird pot, nice brush. pricey, but for some colors its worth it because theyre harder to find. — 9 years, 3 months agocorizotti | 550 reviews

Very fun!I just got this from Sephora and it is so much fun. I have never used liquid liner and a friend told me the brush is much easier to use than the felt tip.

Can't get any darker (;I'm one of those people who likes their liner to be darker than dark. And that's what I feel like this does. The black is the best, so dark and lasts all day for me.

Stays Put!I love Urban Decay products, however sometimes due to all the glitter they put into their products I tend to shy away from using them, howeer I decided to buy a fun blue eyeliner and chose one from Urban Decay! It stays put, there isn't a lot of sparkle, it's easy to apply and the price isn't that bad considering you get a good amount!

Not A FanA friend gave me this liner as a gift. The color was Smog. I loved the color on the back of my hand, but it was so metallic (a blend of moss and bronze colors) that it just disappeared on my olive skin. I could only see it in certain light when I tilted my head, but not straight on. It might just be that particular color. It was highly glittery, too. Just not for me. — 4 years, 10 months agonycmuse | 136 reviews

DETROIT - Turkia Mullin claims she was greatly wronged in the aftermath of her getting a $200,000 severance from Wayne County to take a job at the Wayne County Airport Authority.
The county, of course, doesn't see it that way.
Now, Mullin is suing for health care benefits that she says the county owes her. The lawsuit reads, "after a political firestorm caused Mullin to lose her next position as the Wayne County Airport CEO in October 2011, Mullin was left without life or health insurance for her and her minor children."
She lashed back at county Executive Robert Ficano and his administration.
"Wayne County acted in bad faith and with malice it denied Mullin's application because it knew that she met the requirements for a lifetime," the lawsuit reads.
Mullin goes on to say, "Wayne County will be unjustly enriched at Mullin's expense if this court does not enforce Wayne County's promises ... Wayne County's actions were and are intentional and in reckless disregard of Mullin's family's health and well being."
The county's version of the story is that Mullin was five days shy of the full eight years she needed to qualify for the benefits which the county has since stopped for new employees.
Wayne County Commission Chair Gary Woronchak talked about the lawsuit Thursday afternoon.
"Nothing surprises me at this point involving the people who were at the heart of all of the beginning of the problems that Wayne County is facing," he said. "So I'm not surprised and I think there will be great public opposition to it."

The fear of missing out outweighs all the chatter about market tops this morning. A strong report form LinkedIn (LNKD) and a continuation of the Apple (AAPL) bounce helped the mood. Breadth is quite strong with 3200 gainers to 1575 decliners. Chips, biotechnology and financials lead while gold and solar energy lag.
So far, there have been no pullbacks as underinvested bulls scramble to put cash to work and bears are squeezed. LNKD has gone straight up as the chasers won't let it come in at all. They saw what happened to NFLX on its big report and anticipate similar action in LNKD.
I sold a little AAPL but I am looking for a remount. I think it is forming a bottom now and, while it is likely to be choppy, it should do a better job of finding support on pullbacks.
I added to Cyrusone (CONE), a thin recent IPO that I mentioned last week, which should have initial coverage soon. I like the way that chart is developing, though I'd like to see better volume. Several names I've mentioned lately, like PBF Energy (PBF) and CVR Refining (CVRR), are really becoming extended but that seems to be the nature of the action lately. You have to ride those and not worry about that old-fashioned idea that a stock might be "overbought."
We'll see what happens if there's a dip, but this is setting up as a trend day to the upside. Many anticipate that volume will slow later as a snow storm hits the East Coast, but I have little confidence that the bears can take advantage.

I was very impressed and pleased by your service. I was shopping around for the perfume I ordered for my wife's birthday gift. I could not find it at many stores that I went; so I decided to buy it online. I must say that many other sites had it for double of what you had it for and when I saw your price I was sceptical because it was so much cheaper. I ended up ordering it anyway and seeing the Yahoo rating of your site made me feel a lot more easier in placing my order. I must tell you I was very pleased, I am a very picky consumer and when I shop I like to know what I am getting into. My order was here quicker than expected and from the day I placed my order I recieved an e-mail confirming it. Once again I am a very satisfied customer and I know where I am going to buy my Mother's birthday gift.

WASHINGTON – Almost everyone agrees that too much borrowing (aka "leverage") was at the core of the financial crisis and Great Recession. Too many risky loans were made.
Where do we stand five years after Lehman Brothers?
Well, there's good news and bad. The good is that American households and businesses have cut their debt burdens. The bad news is that in most other countries, they haven't.
The economic implications are plain. If you're devoting more of your income to debt repayment, you're probably spending less at the mall.
On paper, Americans' lighter debt burdens suggest a stronger economy. By the same logic, steep debt levels elsewhere may retard the worldwide recovery.
Let's go to the numbers. These come from the McKinsey Global Institute — the research arm of the consulting firm — which has been tracking debt in major economies. To measure the relative burden of debts, McKinsey compares them to the country's economy, its gross domestic product (GDP). Here are McKinsey's latest findings for the United States.
Start with households, whose debts consist mostly of home mortgages, credit card loans, and auto and student debt. From year-end 2000 to 2007, household debt almost doubled, from $7 trillion to $13.7 trillion.
As a share of GDP, it went from 69 percent to 96 percent. That was the credit bubble inflating.
But since 2007, household debt has dropped by nearly $1 trillion to $12.8 trillion. The GDP share has fallen to 80 percent. This was the bubble popping: mortgages defaulting and being written off; or borrowers skimping on spending to repay debts.
Something similar has happened to nonfinancial businesses — companies such as IBM, Google and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. True, their debt rose from nearly $11 trillion (77 percent of GDP) in 2007 to $12.9 trillion (81 percent of GDP) in 2013. But these figures overlook the reality that much corporate debt has been refinanced at lower interest rates. As a result, says economist Susan Lund of McKinsey, annual corporate interest payments dropped by nearly $200 billion from 2007 to 2012, from $551 billion to $369 billion. Lower debt and interest rates did the same for households, whose interest payments also fell about $200 billion from 2007 to 2012.
These developments are a plus for the U.S. economy. Consumers are better positioned to spend, and — if demand strengthens — businesses are better positioned to invest in new production capacity. Abroad, the picture is darker.
True, private debt in some countries is low or declining. Germany's household debt fell from 73 percent of GDP in 2000 to 58 percent in 2012.
Indeed, some economists argue these low debt levels show that Germany's economy depends too heavily on exports and not enough on domestic demand. But Germany is an exception. Many countries have high private debt levels.
In Britain, both household and business debts are near 100 percent of GDP. In Canada, household debt is 96 percent of GDP; in Australia, it's 106 percent of GDP. Both these countries, says Lund, might suffer housing bubbles with prices collapsing and defaults increasing. This is already happening in the Netherlands, she says, where household debt reached 125 percent of GDP.
Together, what do these numbers mean for the world economy? Bear in mind three realities:
First, there's no magic debt level — compared to GDP — that's just right or too much. The amounts may vary by country. Nations with faster growth can usually bear more debt, which can be repaid from rising incomes. Still, the higher debt goes, the more likely it will reach a tipping point that triggers a broad credit pullback (and higher interest rates) or a full-fledged crisis.
Second, just because U.S. private debt levels have dropped doesn't mean that American consumers and businesses will go on a spending spree. Shaken by the Great Recession, they may reduce debt further or increase savings against future setbacks.
Third, government debt has expanded in most countries. In some, it substituted for contracting private debt. In the United States, government debt (including state and local borrowing) rose from 56 percent of GDP in 2007 to 93 percent in 2013. In Japan, government debt in 2012 was 228 percent of GDP. In Britain, it was 95 percent.
So far, financial markets have accepted these high levels without imposing punishing interest rate increases.
Despite the talk of too much "austerity," countries will want to restrain large debt increases for fear of a market backlash. The resulting higher taxes or lower spending could dampen growth.
So any deleveraging report card must be maddeningly hedged. An honest grade is: incomplete.

The Chargers won't lose to Peyton Manning next year for lack of knowledge about Denver's Hall of Fame-bound quarterback.
Frank Reich, who is expected to join the Chargers as their quarterbacks coach, was Manning's position coach with the Colts in 2009-10.
The Manning connection is growing at Chargers Park.
New head coach Mike McCoy and Tom Telesco, the team's new general manager, also have worked on NFL clubs that employed Manning, who went 2-0 against the Chargers last year.
Reich, the Cardinals' receivers coach last year, will be reunited with former Arizona head coach Ken Whisenhunt, the Chargers' offensive coordinator and playcaller.
A former quarterback, Reich is best known for leading two epic comebacks.
Down 31-0 at halftime to the Miami Hurricanes, he rallied visiting Maryland to victory in 1984. Maryland's coach was Bobby Ross, who in 1994 took the Chargers to their only Super Bowl.
Against the Oilers in the 1992 NFL playoffs, Reich and the Bills trailed 35-3 in the third quarter – but won 41-38.
Reich and the Chargers' starting quarterback he inherited, Philip Rivers, are looking to rally in 2013.
Reich, 51, was a receivers coach for coaching staffs that were dismissed at the end of the last two seasons, in large part because the teams' offenses were among the NFL's worst.
With the Manning-less Colts in 2011, Reich worked with a future Hall of Famer in receiver Reggie Wayne. But the Colts (2-14), plagued by erratic quarterbacking, ended 29th in scoring, passing touchdowns and yards per play.
Whisenhunt brought Reich to the Cardinals, who last year finished 31st in scoring, last in yards per play and 31st in TD passes. Disarray in Arizona's offensive line and at quarterback led to an NFL-high 58 sacks.
Reich, whose receiving corps included six-time Pro Bowler Larry Fitzgerald and heralded rookie Michael Floyd, defended Whisenant after the season.
"There are not a lot of coaches that have been real successful in Arizona," he told WGR Sports Radio 550 in Buffalo in early-January. "'Whis' took a team to the Super Bowl there -- that says a lot. Obviously, I think I have a good relationship with 'Whis,' and I would be knocking on his door if he got the job."
The previous Chargers quarterbacks coach, John Ramsdell, held the job from 2006-12.

Posted Mar 11th 2010 12:10AM by TMZ Staff
The dude who owns the Indiana Pacers basketball team is being sued by his former nanny -- after she got the chop ... when she was ready to pop.
In a lawsuit filed yesterday in L.A. County Superior Court, Herb Simon and his Thai supermodel wife Bui are accused of firing Claudia Leite after she told her bosses she was knocked up last month.
In the suit, Leite claims the family "feared" that she would want to take a "brief or limited medical leave of absence" around the time the baby was due -- and according to Leite, that wasn't gonna cut it.
But the nanny isn't going after the Simon's alone -- the family's former driver
is also suing the couple, claiming they kicked him to the curb when the guy became "disabled with severe infections."
Both the nanny and the driver claim the Simons also screwed them out of several paychecks -- they're both asking for an unspecified amount of cash.
We called, but we're unable to reach Simon's rep for comment.

Sir Bradley Wiggins will ride through Wiltshire as he defends his Tour of Britain title, it was confirmed today.
Team Sky named Wiggins, 34, as leader of its squad for the race, which begins in Liverpool on Sunday.
Wiggins will ride with fellow Brits Ian Stannard and Ben Swift alongside Bernhard Eisel, David Lopez and Sebastian Henao.
On Friday, September 12, the riders head from Bath at 10am for Hemel Hempstead, where they are due to finish at 3pm.
Roads along the route through Wiltshire will start to shut from 10.20am, as the riders approach Bradford on Avon, rolling closures being used ahead of the peloton.
The riders are due to race through Bradford at about 10.50am and through Trowbridge just before 11am.
They then head for Seend, being due to arrive in Devizes at about 11.20am, where there are sprint points to be won near the Black Horse pub.
Once they have left the A361, racing down the A342 Nursteed Road, they head for Pewsey High Street, where they are due to arrive at about 11.50am, then going to Hungerford along the A338 after leaving Easton Royal and Burbage
Wiggins will be joined by fellow Britons Ian Stannard and Ben Swift, with Bernhard Eisel, David Lopez and Sebastian Henao completing Sky's six-man line-up for the eight-stage event.
"The Tour of Britain is a special race for me so to be returning as defending champion is a real honour," said Wiggins.
"It's always been a tough race but the support we receive from the fans is incredible, and it's our home tour so I've always enjoyed racing it."
Earlier this summer it had been unclear if Wiggins would take part as he eyed the Vuelta a Espana as a warm-up for the World Championship time-trial, but once Chris Froome confirmed he would race in Spain on his return from injury, Wiggins had to change plans.
"From the start of the year it's always been a goal of mine to race the Tour of Britain," said Wiggins.
"The race is growing in stature year on year and it's our chance to go there with a strong team and race in front of home fans to thank them for their support over the season."
Wiggins will be the favourite to take the crown again, although he could face strong competition from Tinkoff-Saxo's Irishman Nicolas Roche - a rider who has been strongly linked with a move to Team Sky in time for next season.
Wiggins will be able to call on plenty of experience from his support team thanks to the inclusion of veterans Eisel and Lopez, while Stannard - who helped Froome to Tour de France glory last year - is back in action after a bad crash in the spring classics.
The race ends in London on Sunday, September 14.

I didn't even know Kelvin was with the Rockets I thought he was with the Bucks
Kevin McHale to take immediate leave of absence from Rockets
Kevin McHale will be taking a leave of absence from the team effective immediately, according to a team release.
The absence is family-related, which always makes these types of situations that much more sensitive.
From the official release:
Houston Rockets Head Coach Kevin McHale will be taking an immediate leave of absence from the team to attend to a personal family matter. Assistant Coach Kelvin Sampson will handle head coaching duties during McHales time away. No return date has been set for McHale at this time.
Kevin is a devoted family man who is needed back home in Minnesota at the moment, said Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey. The Rockets organization will keep Kevin and his family in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
The Rockets have been a lot more interesting to watch in the early stages of the season, thanks mainly to the trade that brought James Harden to town to play alongside offseason acquisition Jeremy Lin in the teams backcourt. Houston currently sits at 2-3 in the Southwest Division standings.
We join the Rockets organization in sending nothing but positive wishes out to McHale and his family.

Esophageal Cancer
What is the Timeframe of Esophageal Cancer?
My dad was just diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer (endocarcinoma cells) that has spread to his lungs and his liver. He also has emphysema and is having great difficulty breathing. He also just had a recent heart attack that is causing concern as well.
He has been given the option to either undergo therapy or not undergo therapy because the cancer is not curable. My mother has not yet begun to process all of this yet and is at a loss for words.
What is the average life expectancy of a 66 yr old male with this stage of cancer that has other health issues? I know you cannot give me an exact timeframe, but I would like the average figure, so i can prepare myself as well as my mother for what lies ahead.
Thank you
Unfortunately, time is extremely limited. The average lifespan is 3-4 months without treatment.

Pirates forced to rethink pitching options
PITTSBURGH -- The Pirates had been quite transparent in their hopes that, once this season hit its stride and the starting rotation issued the almost predictable call for help, Jameson Taillon would be there to answer.
They now know better. Taillon will soon undergo Tommy John surgery that might have him miss the 2015 season as well, if his recovery is on the long end of the typical 12-18 month period.
So who will offer the lifeline, if needed? There is no shortage of candidates.
"We had talked about hoping Jameson being in position to help us this summer," Pirates general manager Neal Huntington acknowledged. "Someone else will have to step into that situation. Someone in the current bullpen? Jeff Locke? Brandon Cumpton, Phil Irwin, or somebody else?"
Jeanmar Gomez or Stolmy Pimentel, currently long men in the bullpen, would be top options.
Locke, the 2013 All-Star lefty currently on the DL fully recovering from right-side discomfort, has already dialed up his rehab with Bradenton.
Cumpton fired six shutout innings on Saturday in his first start for Triple-A Edmonton. If and when the righty checks back in, he will be looking to add to a streak of 15 consecutive shutout innings at the big-league level.
Irwin is a little behind schedule, still stretching out his arm after missing most of Spring Training with slight elbow discomfort.

Juicy Chicken Meatballs
The JUICIEST chicken meatballs ever. Flavor the chicken meat balls with ginger and garlic and you have the best tasting meatballs
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total Time:
1 lb boneless, skineless chicken thighs
1/4 small onion
3-4 small garlic
1 egg white
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
3 dashes black pepper
10 cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
Mashed green peas
Finely diced carrots
Cayenne pepper
Oil, for shallow frying
Wet both hands with some water and shape the ground chicken into meatballs and lay on a plate lined with parchment paper. Heat up a pan or skillet with some oil, shallow fry the meatballs until lightly browned or cooked through. Serve immediately.
Recently, I got connected with an Irvine-based food blogger Reem at Simply Reem. She is an artist so I invited her over to teach me how to paint some wood boards (for food photography). She came over with a serving of chicken meatball biryani, which is a specialty of northern Indian food.
Now, I have to say that I am partial to all kinds of meatballs, there is just something so irresistible about ground meat shaped into balls. Every culture has its own version of meatballs. My favorite has always been my version of pork meat balls, seasoned with Chinese 5-spice powder. But Reem's meatballs are top notch, and I immediately fell in love with them and begged her for the recipe.
Over iPhone messages, she shared with me her recipe, and I gathered the ingredients and made them. Reem told me that the recipe is very versatile, it serves both adults and kids, and especially loved by picky toddlers. Boy, was she right? I improvised the recipe per her suggestion, added in some mashes green peas and some finely diced carrot (as pictured above), and my toddler ate all six of them in 10 minutes! That made me a very happy mom.
Now for the grown up version, I added in some cayenne pepper to spice them up and we couldn't get enough. These chicken meatballs are THE JUICIEST meatballs I have ever tasted. The meatballs were bursting with juice as soon as I sank my teeth into them. They are moist, flavorful, with just the perfect seasonings. A few days later, I made them again. And guess what I will be making again tonight?
To make a dish that is both kids and adults friendly, look no further than the juicy chicken meatballs recipe here. For the original recipe by Simply Reem, click here. Enjoy!

Category: Rachel and Ross baby Emma
Guest blogger Abby Sandel, whose blog appellation mountain is a top nameberry fave, takes a look at the names TV characters have given their offspring–and which of them have had a lasting influence.
From Peyton Place's Allison to Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Xander, plenty of television characters' names catch on after expectant parents tune in.
Some of those characters eventually have fictional children of their own. Mad Men couple Pete and Trudy just welcomed daughter Tammy. 90210's Jen has a brand new son called Jacques. In honor of the two new arrivals, here's a look back at some notable small screen births.
Everyone was watching I Love Lucy when Ricky and Lucy welcomed Enrique Jr. – Lil' Ricky – in 1953. The show was a sensation, but Richard was already a Top Ten mainstay, and even Ricky was in the Top 100 before the baby's arrival.
The first influential television baby probably came from 1964's Bewitched, a sitcom with a supernatural twist. Bewitching wife Samantha's name caught on, as did daughter Tabitha, who arrived in the show's second season.
There's more than one way to add a child. The Brady Bunch's six kids became seven when Cousin Oliver came to stay during the show's final season. While his name is the height of fashion today, it didn't catch on until decades later. The character did lend his name to Cousin Oliver Syndrome – the phenomenon of adding a younger child to revive a fading show.

SANTA CRUZ -- Santa Cruz Mayor Hilary Bryant and UC Santa Cruz Chancellor George Blumenthal told dozens gathered Tuesday they are shocked by a recent rash of crime, including two incidents with campus connections, and assured the public their two police agencies are working together to make arrests.
The leaders had previously agreed to speak to the monthly meeting of Santa Cruz Neighbors, expecting to focus on growth, water, economic and other good-neighbor issues.
But Bryant and Blumenthal said it was important first to discuss public safety, beginning their remarks by expressing concern about the Feb. 11 shooting and robbery of a student on the Westside and Sunday's rape of a woman on campus. Both victims are recovering.
"We have been hit with very serious crimes that have affected us very deeply and we will all rest more easily once the perpetrators are caught," Blumenthal said.
Detectives also are still investigating a Feb. 9 homicide outside a downtown bar and a robbery of a small Westside grocery store Feb. 13.
"For me, to watch the past couple weeks unfold, I've slept very little and been very worried," the mayor said. "We in the community have a lot of issues to address, and we as a city take them very seriously."
Bryant, a UCSC graduate, said she has received email from parents, asking what she is doing to keep students safe.
"That is a reasonable thing to be asking," she said. "We want people to continue sending their children here."
Marcia Charland, a resident for more than 30 years, said, "I'm walking out of here knowing police are going above and beyond to get the case handled. And I get how deeply the mayor is concerned, as is the chancellor. They were shaken. We were all shaken."
Santa Cruz Police Chief Kevin Vogel told the audience a reward will be announced Wednesday, but no details were immediately available about which crimes it might cover. In response to the rape, Blumenthal announced a new program that provides a safe escort at night for students and employees to their vehicles, homes or offices on campus. The rape happened during the day.
The leaders discussed a host of other issues, including the value of a 2008 agreement settling lawsuits over campus growth. A county agency charged with reviewing plans to extend water in the undeveloped north campus to accommodate the majority of new student growth is awaiting a court challenge.
Blumenthal said UCSC has significantly reduced water use, and insisted the city's proposal to build a seawater desalination plant is not tied to university growth. Blumenthal stressed the city has a shortage problem during drought regardless of university use, but in normal years can serve all customers.
"My view is we have to do something," he said. "Doing nothing is a lesser alternative."
Blumenthal and Bryant rejected an insinuation that UCSC benefits from the city's rental property inspection program targeting illegal or unsafe units by pushing more students to pay to live on campus.
"If there's an illegal unit or a unit that is not up to code, the health and safety issue for the residents is the major concern," Blumenthal said.

The Penn State Particle Separator (PSPS) provides a tool to quantitatively determine the particle size of forages and total mixed rations (TMR). The updated 2013 version of the PSPS adds the ability to estimate physically effective fiber (peNDF) to this tool. The concept of measuring feed particle size using a standard method is not new.
The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers' (ASABE) standard for particle size analysis and distribution has been available for many years. Unfortunately, the ASABE method is a cumbersome laboratory procedure that is impractical for farm use. The objective of developing the PSPS was to mimic the complex lab method with a simpler, on-farm method. The newest refinement allows for an estimation of the quantity (%) of a forage or TMR that provides physically effective fiber to the dairy cow.
The goal of analyzing TMR particle size is measuring the distribution of feed and forage particles the cow actually consumes. The focus is not only on particles greater than a particular size, but also on the overall distribution of feed particles consumed by the cow. Measuring TMR samples fresh from the feed bunk before the cows eat or sort the feed is recommended. Mixing and distribution equipment can reduce particle size of feeds and forages and need to be accounted for by evaluating the actual diet being fed.
Physically Effective Fiber or peNDF
Measurement of peNDF has become widely used in dairy cattle nutrition and research. The original system of peNDF was developed by Dr. Dave Mertens of the US Dairy Forage Research Center. It measured fiber particle size using dry samples of feed in a 3-dimensional, vibrating sieve system (Ro-Tap separator; measuring smallest particle dimension) and had neutral detergent fiber (NDF) on the whole sample. Most forage is now measured in a 2-dimensional sieve device (such as the PSPS; measuring particle length). Using peNDF in ration balancing and troubleshooting, along with a single NDF value, may prove to be a useful tool in troubleshooting rations and cow performance.
The original peNDF procedure used 1.18 mm as the critical size at which feed particles are considered physically effective for dairy cows. This number originated from earlier research that determined 1.18 mm was a threshold particle size determined with both cattle and sheep (at maintenance intakes) for greatly increased resistance to particles leaving the rumen and that less than 5% of fecal particles were generally retained on a 1.18-mm sieve.
Researchers from Penn State and other universities have studied particle size of diets and their impact on rumen metabolism, and have clearly shown in recent studies that the critical threshold for feed particles escaping the rumen of high producing cows is significantly greater than 1.18 mm and more in the range of 4 mm. While there is no one perfect sieve size to measure particles for all diets and all forages, the data from four independent labs show that the 4-mm sieve is more accurate for the high producing dairy cow for estimating peNDF.
The original 1996 PSPS contained sieves of 0.75 and 0.31 inches (19 and 8 mm). The 0.75-inch (19-mm) sieve was designed to capture forage or feed particles that would be buoyant in the rumen (form the forage mat) and provide material that would require substantial additional cud chewing by the cow. In theory this would supply additional buffering to the rumen and help modify rumen pH. The 0.31-inch (8-mm) sieve collects primarily forage particles that will be part of the forage mat in the rumen, but will be broken down faster with less cud chewing and will hydrate in the rumen faster to allow more rapid rumen microbial breakdown. Both the amount of cud chewing required and the hydration rate will depend on the digestibility of the forage contained in this fraction.
The newest sieve now in the 2013 PSPS, is a 0.16-inch (4-mm) sieve. Feed particles found on this sieve will primarily be small forage pieces that are often, but not necessarily, high fiber in nature. Initially these particles will likely be trapped in the forage mat of the rumen, but they can be broken down easily with minimal rumination or by rapid microbial action. Typically they will hydrate quite rapidly and will not remain trapped in the fiber mat for a long period of time. In either event these feed particles will have a small, yet significant, impact on buffering the rumen. This sieve is designed to allow estimation of peNDF.
The peNDF can be estimated by adding the amount of feed on the top three sieves (all ≥ 4 mm) and multiplying by the NDF content of the feedstuff. This is an estimated value, as the NDF content and digestibility of each fraction are unknown. In addition, some portion of the contents on the smallest (0.16-inch; 4-mm) sieve will likely contain grain or rapidly digested carbohydrates and may need to be discounted from the value. Furthermore, peNDF by itself will not guarantee that the diet is well balanced and that rumen pH will be correct, as diet starch or total carbohydrate levels have been shown to significantly impact rumen pH in high producing cows with high dry matter intakes.
Feeding management plays an important role in the particle length needs of the cow. Guidelines for TMR for high producing dairy cows are 2 to 8 percent of the particles in the upper sieve, 30 to 50 percent in the middle sieve, 10 to 20 percent on the 4-mm sieve, and no more than 30 to 40 percent in the bottom pan. Sixty to 70 percent of the TMR should be classified as physically effective, to be multiplied by the NDF content of the diet or forage. Only forage and high fiber byproducts should be classified as effective fiber sources. Further evaluations of this new method to estimate peNDF are continuing.
Guidelines for Particle Size
Achieving adequate ration particle size requires using recommended guidelines for forages and TMR.

If you're a hockey fan, and I am (especially of the Dallas Stars), you'll be excited by this news. I first saw it last night on a billboard and wondered, "Why haven't I heard of this?" The answer is, because it starts today.
The Stars have set their lowest ticket price at $9.
Nine bucks.
Less than a 10-spot. For that matter, less than a matinee movie price at most theaters in town, and a cut of 40 percent from the previous low of $15. (Seats in 85 percent of the upper level is now $25 or less, and even the priciest, $70-mezzanine seats are now $40.)
For sports fans, this is huge — you could actually pay more for parking than to see the game. (OK, OK, with $75 parking at Cowboys Stadium, that might not be so surprising.)
The new prices go into effect immediately. You can get them for upcoming home games including Dec. 19, 21, 23 29 and New Year's Eve at DallasStars.com or calling 214-GO-STARS.

THE director of a Downton-based logistics company has been made an MBE for voluntary services to the Royal British Legion.
John Underhill, who runs Doccombe European, began helping the charity ten years ago by using his trucks as support vehicles at a number of fundraising events, including the Pedal to Paris bike ride.
After staging The Angel & The Fallen, a successful concert at Salisbury Cathedral in 2010 which raised £10,000 for the Royal British Legion, he was asked to help organise the charity's 90th anniversary celebrations in 2011.
Mr Underhill, of Damerham, near Fordingbridge, said: "I was asked if it would be possible to organise a concert at every cathedral in the country to mark the celebrations. By the end of the project we had managed to achieve 40 throughout England and Wales, including cathedrals on the Isle of Man, the Falkland Islands and Gibraltar.
"This honour has come as a complete surprise; I am humbled by it, but delighted.
"Although I was the project manager for the concerts, it was the people on the ground who helped organise them and in one sense I accept this award for them."

2014 First round pick
We take the risk of losing Howard obviously, but we would offer him a full extension once he got here. Gilbert would be owed roughly $50M still, but that I am sure would be the cost to any team trying to trade for Howard. I would prefer to take on Turkoglu, but the Magic would make Arenas the condition.
They get a youth infusion by replacing Howard with Hibbert. Paul George is a clear cut starter on that team. Then our 2012 first in a strong draft class. Add in another pick in 2014 when they will be having a lot of their contracts falling off the books as well. This deal would get them a solid young foundation moving forward with Bass, Anderson, and Orton also young players in their front court. They have Nelson at PG and the rest of the guys I really only consider contracts.
I doubt a move like this would happen. I don't think Bird would consider bringing in Arenas. Ever. Dwight could opt out shortly after he got here and Arenas would still be on our books for another $42 over two years. The only way we would even come close to considering this is if Howard would sign an extension for us before the trade. I would send them Collison or Rush as well if necessary. I think they might be interested in Rush as a SG option for a couple of months.
PG - Hill, Arenas, Price
SG - Rush, Stephenson, DJones
SF - Granger
PF - Hansborough
C - Howard
All of this depends on who we do or don't sign this off-season and we would have to defer our cap usage until next year for this to even happen, but trade proposals are all hypothetical.
Let me know what you think.

2013 Spring Issue 3 (April 26, 2013)
Prospective Students Brave Blizzard, Try Life As a Carl
From April 11th to April 13th, and again from the 18th to the 20th, a total of three hundred fifty-two admitted students , or "prospies," visited campus, an all-time high for the school according to Admissions Counselor Peter Varnum '08. They arrived at Carleton in the midst of whirling winds and late-season snow, dumping accumulations that would give the campus the appearance of a snow-globe.

EthIC Seeks Wisdom Through Discussion
Carleton's EthIC program, or Ethical Inquiry at Carleton, has been in existence for a number of years and was developed and well led by previous directors. This year, however, EthiC has formed a new branch, entitled "Windows of the Good Life" which is celebrating its first successful inaugural year on campus and examines, at its core, life's biggest questions
Singer-Songwriter Josh Ritter Comes to Carleton
Acclaimed singer-songwriter Josh Ritter and the Royal City Band will be visiting Carleton tonight to give a musical performance in the Concert Hall starting at 8:00 P.M. Ritter made time in his schedule to drop by Northfield between a performance at First Avenue in Minneapolis last night and another stop at The Vic Theatre in Chicago that will take place tomorrow night.
Spoken Word Poet Sarah Kay Stuns
Taking a break from the cold weather outside, students and accepted students alike packed into the warmth of the Cave to listen to the poetry performance last Friday night by Sarah Kay, Spoken Word poet and founder of Project V.O.I.C.E., which seeks to "combine performance, writing, and a supportive environment to inspire youth to recognize that their views are significant, valid, and necessary."
GSC: Celebrating Pride Month
In celebration of Pride Month, the Gender and Sexuality Center has held various events throughout the month of April, including a barbeque. Although the unexpected snowfall forced the event indoors, students still enjoyed the event.
"The Art of Storytelling in a Digital World" Poet Sarah Kay Delivers Convocation
Spoken word poet Sarah Kay hails from New York City, a fact not lost on her chapel audience when she called for Minnesota "to get its act together" in comparing Northfield's thick snow to the seventy-degree days of the Northeast. As the founder of Project V.O.I.C.E. (Vocal Outreach Into Creative Expression), an organization that encourages young adults and children to use spoken word as a means of growth and self-expression, Kay delivered her talk as if it were a spoken poem: with dynamic rhythm, passion, and accompanying gestures.
Fulbrights: Two More Winners Announced
Two more Carleton seniors—Shantrice King '13 and Milan Cvitkovic '13—have been announced as Fulbright Scholars for the 2013-2014 year, bringing Carleton's total number of winners to four (so far).

Bartholomay and Ginet Recognized for Oustanding Academics
Carleton College men's soccer player Neil Bartholomay '14 was named to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America's (NSCAA) Scholar All-America second team, honoring his performance both on the field and in the classroom.
Women's Tennis Clinches Playoff Berth
Although wet weather had prevented the Carleton College women's tennis team from competing for more than two weeks, the Knights showed little sign of rust as they dispatched the College of Saint Benedict by a 9-0 score. The victory clinched a spot in the MIAC Playoffs on May 3-4.
Alex Polk Earns MIAC Athlete of the Week Award
The cold temperatures didn't affect Carleton thrower Alex Polk '15 Saturday in his home stadium at the Carleton Relays. The Knights' sophomore turned in a terrific performance in the javelin, finishing second overall and first among MIAC and Division III competitors.
Men's Track and Field Runs, Jumps, and Throws to Fourth Place Finish
Despite the snowy weather only 36 hours earlier, the Carleton College track and field teams hosted the Knights' only co-ed home meet of the 2013 outdoor season on Saturday. The men's team finished in fourth place at the Carleton Relays.
Men's Tennis Suffers Loss to Powerhouse Gustavus, Prepare for Playoffs
The Carleton College men's tennis team faced conference power Gustavus Adolphus College on Saturday, and despite fighting valiantly, the result was somewhat predictable for the Knights as the Gusties prevailed once again, something they have done in 256 consecutive regular-season MIAC matches stretching back to 1985.
Women's Track Finishes Fourth at Carleton Relays
Thanks to the yeoman's effort by the Carleton College facilities staff and grounds crew, the track at Laird Stadium was cleared of snow in order to allow the track and field teams to hold the Carleton Relays— the Knights' only co-ed home meet of the 2013 outdoor season—as scheduled. The Carleton women finished in fourth place.

Social Media and Citizen Science
Last week, events following the Boston Marathon bombings were covered by traditional media sources like newspapers and television, as well as social media sources like Twitter and Reddit. Social media sites like these are increasingly becoming part of the media in the U.S. as news shifts towards instantaneous delivery of information.
Of Moods and Fits: A Response
I appreciate Ben Stroup's response, though it does bring much of what I meant to point out in my article into still sharper relief than I could ever have managed to myself.
Entertainment or Escapism? On Watching Television
"If you don't have enough time, stop watching TV," reads a poster I recently came across on the Internet titled "The Holstee Manifesto," published in 2009 by Holstee, a Brooklyn apparel company. It is composed of fifteen quasi-inspirational advice sentences, such as "do what you love" and "getting lost will help you find yourself." But the advice about not watching TV is by far the most concrete and practical of the bunch, and it therefore drew my attention more than the abstract sentences.
First Response to "A Discussion About [All Forms of Discrimination]"
An article in last Friday's CLAP, another publication on campus, contained a transcript of a conversation including multiple offensive remarks and spawned a significant student response. Below are responses to the article that were collected from multiple students were submitted to the Carletonian for publication this Friday.
Facilitating Conversations
By now, many students on campus are aware of the article that was published in last week's CLAP, in which one student (Student A) transcribed a conversation he had with another student (Student B). Specifically, in that conversation, the Student B made a series of highly offensive, racist, and heteronormative remarks, which Student A then published in the CLAP.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- In the wake of Barack Obama's re-election as president of the United States, lawmakers like Republican House majority leader John Boehner and Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid took to airwaves to show Americans that Congress will work to bridge a partisan budget divide and avert a so-called 'fiscal cliff' scheduled for early 2013. Less heralded on Wednesday was telecom giant AT&T's ( T) announcement of a blockbuster capital spending plan, which will stimulate an array of tech, telecom and infrastructure sectors and forestall the prospect that falling corporate spending will slow a booming wireless economy driven by the Apple ( AAPL) iPhone and Google ( GOOG)-Android powered devices. At a telecom conference in New York City, AT&T said it will boost corporate spending to $22 billion a year through 2015 to improve its wireless service and upgrade wireline and fiber networks. The move comes at a time when carriers like AT&T, Verizon ( VZ), Sprint ( S) and a recently merged MetroPCS ( PCS) - T-Mobile are in an expensive fight to upgrade wireless networks to meet surging data demand from smartphones and tablets. See Sprint's Softbank Deal is a Consumer Win. While AT&T's higher than expected spending plan was seen by John Hodulik of UBS as depressing its forecasted earnings, the company also upped its quarterly dividend to 45 cents a share, in a set of announcements that failed to impress investors. Still, AT&T's plan is seen as returning wireless sector spending to growth from forecasts of a decline starting in 2013, and analysts and investors expect it can drive the earnings of Juniper Networks ( JNPR), Ciena ( CIEN) and Qualcomm ( QCOM), which provide infrastructure and parts to the smartphone economy pioneered by Apple. An increasing dedication to wireless service improvements is also expected to directly benefit handset makers like Apple, who are relying on carriers to provide data service that will further tether consumers to their smartphone and tablet devices. Kulbinder Garcha of Credit Suisse expects that AT&T's spending plan will account for 35% of overall wireless capital expenditure in coming years, helping to turn an expected 3% spending decline to 6% annual growth. Currently, 64% of AT&T's postpaid wireless customers are using smartphones, calculates Garcha, who notes that Wednesday's announcement signals AT&T "continues to expect strong smartphone penetration and adoption of data plans to be a driver of wireless growth." He forecasts AT&T will reach 90% smartphone penetration among postpaid subscribers by 2015, given that they account for 80% of new handset sales. Dallas-based AT&T will spend $8 billion a year to continue expanding its 4G wireless network, which the company says will reach 300 million people by 2014. AT&T will spend an additional $6 billion on wireline equipment that serves business customers. Tal Liani, an analyst with Bank of America Merrill Lynch, highlights Ciena, Juniper Networks and Qualcomm as the the biggest beneficiaries of the billions in annual wireless and wireline network spending AT&T now forecasts. "We believe Juniper and Ciena could be prime beneficiaries from AT&T's spending boost, given the required investment in core network, aggregation and management equipment," writes Liani of AT&T's announcement. "Such spending could have a significant impact on their financials and both stocks have been under pressure recently due to weak carrier capex. Qualcomm is an indirect beneficiary, with AT&T's announcement likely to drive Verizon and T-Mobile to push harder with their LTE roll outs," the analyst adds. Qualcomm recently beat earnings as smartphone and tablet demand drove revenue. Canaccord Genuity analysts project over 700 million smartphones will be sold globally in 2012, an over 44% annual growth rate that's expected to slow to 35.4% in 2013, according to a report put out by the firm.

African American Health
I started to notice hair loss, a loss of fat under my eye area, and the sagging of my jaw. I also observed hyperpigmentation on my neck, chest, armpits, and other areas. This is extremely strange because I am only in my 20`s, and starting to show signs of aging that should not even occur at my age. What could this be due to?
Thank you for visiting NetWellness. This question would be better answered in the Skin Care and Diseases topic. Please look in that topic for an answer to your question.

A small percentage of contractors nationwide offer the ultimate level of protection against potential problems a homeowner might experience - a Money Back Guarantee. In the event there is a problem with your project that cannot be corrected with reasonable measures, the contractor agrees to refund your money and restore your home to its original condition. This is not a guarantee for an incapable contractor; however, to protect yourself at the highest level, insist on this important guarantee.
Only a company thoroughly confident in their abilities would offer a transferable Lifetime Warranty. Taking care of customers quickly and efficiently is vitally important in maintaining longevity in the community. You should never have to speak to an answering service or wait for days to get a response. Your message should be received by a live person and quickly taken care of. Naturally, you will want to check the stability and reputation of the contractor to make sure he'll be around to fulfill the warranty if necessary.

Prophylactic Intrapartum Antibiotics and Immunological Markers for Postpartum Morbidity in HIV Positive Women

- How to Read a Study Record
Postpartum infections are among the leading causes of maternal mortality world-wide, particularly in under-resourced countries. Available data suggests that HIV infected women are at greater risk of postpartum complications than uninfected women. In South Africa, HIV/AIDS and related infections are now cumulatively the leading causes of maternal deaths (though indirectly), with puerperal sepsis among the 5 most common causes.
This was a prospective longitudinal cohort of HIV infected (n = 675) and uninfected (n = 648) women. These were women in whom vaginal delivery was anticipated, and were recruited at > 36 weeks of gestation during the antenatal period.
Hypothesis - HIV infected women are at increased risk of postpartum infectious morbidity and this morbidity can be reduced by use of prophylactic intrapartum antibiotics.
|Puerperal Sepsis

Ischemic small vessel disease and stroke
Does the presence of ischemic small vessel disease decrease the effectiveness or increase the risk of intracranial hemorrhage when using thrombolytic therapy for stroke within 3 hours of onset of symptoms?
Study of the relationship between the degree of white matter disease and tPA outcomes has not been performed specifically to my knowledge. However, it is well known that the biggest risk factors for white matter disease are age and hypertension. Age is one of the most important predictors of outcome from stroke, and this is also true with regard to tPA (older patients who receive tPA are less likely to do well by 3 months than younger patients). In a similar fashion, we feel that high blood pressure is one factor that must be closely watched as high blood pressures after tPA may increase the risk for bleeding. There has been some work showing that patients with severe white matter changes are at somewhat higher risk for intracerebral hemorrhage (primary hemorrhagic stroke, this is not referring to the hemorrhage related to tPA use).
So in a sense, these three factors (white matter, age, and hypertension) all confer similar effects and it is reasonable to think that those with lots of white matter disease will be older and have hypertension, and are likely to be at slightly higher risk for bleeding and likely to have slightly worse outcome than younger patients.

In next June's first round primary election, Marin and parts of south and central Sonoma County will see a contested race for the state Assembly.
Marin Community College Trustee Diana Conti will run for the Assembly against fellow Democrat, Assemblyman Marc Levine.
Conti's surprise move has prompted a third Democrat, Santa Rosa Councilwoman Erin Carlstrom, to make her move to enter the contest.
Conti, 65, who is a Tamalpais Valley nonprofit executive, mounted an aggressive campaign for re-election to the college board, garnering the support of 59 percent of all participating voters and coming in first.
The 30-year-old Carlstrom was first elected to the Rose City's council just last year. She ran and won, positioning herself as a bridge between the City Council's pro-business, public employee labor unions, and "guided growth" environmental factions.
Until last month she had been a candidate for the open North Bay/North Coast state Senate seat being vacated next year by one-term Sen. Noreen Evans, D-Santa Rosa. After abandoning that race, the councilwoman, attorney and proud new mother mulled a run for an open seat on Sonoma's Board of Supervisors.
Now along with Conti, she's entered the multi-candidate race to challenge Levine, the first-term assemblyman from San Rafael.
The elephant in the room is public employee labor. With a substantial political war chest, the unions have the financial clout to make any race competitive. These are the folks who crack the whip in Sacramento.
The competition will be fierce between Conti and Carlstrom to get the nod from this power group.
It's no secret that labor's been looking for a candidate to knock off Levine.
These unions are still smarting over the 2012 upset by Levine of former Assemblyman Michael Allen, past chairman of the North Bay Labor Council. Labor's role in the Sonoma third of the district is far more powerful than in more private sector-oriented Marin.
Conti's strategy will be to force Carlson out of the race. Two pro-labor Democratic women candidates is one too many.
Levine's job is to consolidate moderate Democrats, Republicans and, most importantly, independents who constitute the second-largest voting bloc in the 10th Assembly District.
Despite being a life-long Democrat, Levine has been consistently criticized by some progressives, militant environmentalists and segments of organized labor as being "too moderate," a taunt that's brought him considerable Republican and independent support but enmity from labor and progressives.
The big political news in Marin is the surprise decision by Carol Brandt to pull out of the race for county supervisor in the San Rafael-centered 1st Supervisorial District. That leaves the incumbent, Susan Adams, to face off against San Rafael Councilman Damon Connolly.
Brandt is leaving the contest because "I'm a realist. I just can't pull together the financial support needed to make this an effective campaign." The Peacock Gap business consultant was advised that she needed to raise $50,000 by the Dec. 31 campaign finance disclosure deadline if she was to be considered a serious player in the June primary. She fell far short.
Because Brandt has been highly critical of Adams individually and the Board of Supervisors collectively, it's unlikely that she will now endorse the incumbent.
That means that Brandt can look forward to Connolly knocking on her door. A Brandt endorsement of Connolly would bring him significant support, particularly from opponents of high-density housing. Of course such an endorsement depends on how Connolly lines up on the issues that are key to Brandt.
All in all, her withdrawal is a plus for Connolly who no longer has to worry about splitting the anti-Adams vote with Brandt.

Read all about it: Action August is here
Organizing for Action volunteers held events nationwide this week to help inform their communities about the benefits of Obamacare, push for comprehensive immigration reform, and action on climate change. Action August is here in a big way.
* Organizing for North Carolina held an Obamacare forum at a local church where attendees learned more about coverage, costs and benefits under Obamacare. [New Bern Sun Journal, N.C.]
* In Charlotte, N.C, volunteers marked the President's birthday by educating the community about Obamacare. As OFA supporter Jonette Harper explained, "With a healthier nation we have a wealthier nation." [NBC Charlotte]
* Organizing for Action Tennessee volunteers rallied to increase awareness on climate change in front of the offices of U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R-TN). [The Cleveland Daily Banner, Tenn.]
* OFA volunteers in Minnesota have put U.S. Reps. John Kline and Erik Paulsen on notice, pushing them to act on key issues in Action August. "We want to send a clear message to the House that these are issues that people are demanding action on," said local supporter Blair Lawton. [Minnesota Star Tribune]
* Ohio supporters helped highlight that women in particular will benefit from Obamacare programs. "Women will no longer pay more in premiums to get less coverage," said Stephanie Kight of Planned Parenthood of Ohio. "Our medications, including our birth control, will be covered as part of preventive health care as it should always have been." [Ohio Public Radio]
This is just the beginning. OFA volunteers will be turning up the pressure on Congress all month long. It's not too late—be a part of this.

I'll look into the cyclone as well as maybe one of those crush/flash/wildcat. I usually first look at their flight characteristics on a number of charts and then decide which ones I'd need/want to try etc...
On my list to put into my bag now are 2 that I just threw away, a beast and an orc
BUT the biggest development in my game/bag right now is the super performance of my Roadrunner. I love that thing. It gives me just a bit of natural right turn before gliding back to the left slightly before touchdown 330 feet down the fairway. I play a course that has tight fairways so this flight path is optimal.
Thanks again,.

The dx archangel is way too heavy for her, IMO, any suggestions on a good mold/weight for a beginner female to throw? I was thinking some kind of stable driver in the 160 class. She's a petite girl, but suprisingly strong for her size. She finally flattened out her run up with an x-step (before she had been hop-skipping into her throw, which was sending it nose up every time). She does great with that putter, and has a decent short game. It's the long game she needs the most work on. She throws left handed backhand and still has a problem with sending it too high and having it fade to the right and back towards her.
As for my bag, I use the wraith when I need the d (at best I can get 250-300' out of it) and have been doing better at disc selection, using the roc off the tee when the wraith would be overkill and cause me to overshoot (took a couple times to learn that lesson). Should I stick with what I have and continue to develope my game, or are there any suggestions on expanding my disc selection?
