My neighbor is not a dividend investor. My neighbor purchases index funds and hopes to rely on an asset depletion strategy commonly referred to as the four percent rule. You can read more about the original research about it here. Basically, my neighbor is relying on total returns from index funds, in order to fund their retirement. Historically, stocks have produced an annual return of 9% - 10% per year. If one owns $1 million worth of an S&P 500 index fund, their return would be approximately $90-$100 thousand per year. Thus, selling $40,000 worth of stock each year would lead to a portfolio value of 1,050 to 1,060 million by the end of first year.
This was a good strategy for generations of do it yourself index investors. Accumulate as much in index funds as possible, and then sell off 4% of your initial portfolio value each year, while also adjusting for inflation. The one problem that this strategy creates is that it leads to a rapid depletion of the asset base during extended bear market declines or during flat markets. Stocks do not go up or down in a straight fashion each and every year. Investors who retired in the early 2000s and 2007-2009 saw this first hand.
In fact investors who put $1 million in an S&P 500 mutual fund in 1999 and using the 4 percent rule for withdrawals now have only $360,000 left.
The calculations assume a 3% annual inflation rate and a quarterly distribution. In addition, investors would have sold more than half of the shares they originally owned by August 2011. Given the expected withdrawal of $55,369 in 2011, the portfolio would be depleted in 6.50 years if stocks do not appreciate by 2020.
I have always had an issue with index funds. They are a decent vehicle for accumulating wealth, as they provide ordinary savers with the ability to have exposure to the stock market without understanding much about it. However, the traditional methods of selling off portions of your portfolio each and every year, is similar to cutting off the tree branch you are sitting on.
That's why the idea of creating a dividend portfolio makes perfect sense for investors who are retired and even those who plan to retire some day in the future. Using this strategy, investors only spend the dividend income generated by their investments. Dividend income is more stable in comparison to relying exclusively on price appreciation. If you compare the price returns of my benchmark the S&P 500 index to the dividend returns you would see why retirees prefer the stability of dividends in retirement.
Dividend investors should carefully select stocks with solid fundamentals which could afford to grow distributions for years to come. They should also have a set of written rules, which would help them in evaluating stocks. You could read more about my entry criteria in this article. Investors should also try to create a diversified portfolio in order to minimize sector risks on their dividend income. There are approximately 300 dividend growth stocks in the world. After further screening, the enterprising dividend growth investor would likely find a more manageable list of 40 -50 securities which could be accumulated at the right prices.
By relying exclusively on spending only the rising income stream, investors would avoid depleting their asset base by selling off shares every year. As a result, dividend investors would not have to sell in a depressed market in order to pay for their living expenses and risk depleting their assets. Instead, dividend investors generate stable dividend income which rises over time and ensures that they generate an inflation adjusted stream of income. Dividned growth investors could thus avoid paying attention to rising and falling prices, because their dividends arrive timely, like clockwork. In essence, it feels as if dividend investors are getting paid for holding these stocks. Contrast this to the traditional model of retirement investing, where a flat or declining market would lead to outliving your assets and having to return back to work at the most unfortunate times for you.
The types of stocks which could provide such a stable dividend stream of income include:

Pain Down Leg
Hi, I am a competitive curler and over the past couple seasons i`ve been getting this pain in my leg that goes all the way down from the top of my thigh, past my knee and through my calf/shin. I only feel the pain after i have been throwing (if your unsure with curling its when my leg is bent underneath me while i slide, there is also lots of pressure on the knee). I don`t get the pain at any other time in my day unless its after practice or a game. Its definitely worse if i don`t stretch properly beforehand. Any answer would be very helpful. Thankyou
Thank you for your question. Has the pain limited your ability to compete in the sport of curling? You don't mention if you have pain in your back or if it is solely located in your leg. Pain in your leg can occur from a source above your leg like your back or can occur from a structure within the leg itself.
I would recommend a follow up with your local sports medicine professional to evaluate your problem as to the source of your pain and determine an appropriate treatment plan to control your symptoms which keeps you on the ice and enjoying your sport.
Good Luck!

Gee gearing for potential Opening Day assignment
Mets right-hander waiting for official announcement from manager Collins
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Although it has not officially been announced, all indications are that Mets right-hander Dillon Gee will be the Opening Day starter. While he's taking nothing for granted, Gee knows it would be a special assignment.
"Absolutely," Gee said on Friday afternoon, following the Mets' 9-1 win over the Twins at Hammond Stadium. "I don't know what starter wouldn't want to start Opening Day. That'd be a huge honor. But right now, I've got another start left [in Spring Training] and just want to make sure that I'm still polishing everything up [so I'm] ready to go whenever they tell me to."
In what should be his next-to-last spring outing, Gee was staked to a comfortable seven-run lead when he took the mound in the first inning against the Twins after the Mets sent 10 batters to the plate. Gee went 5 1/3 innings, giving up one run on five hits with no walks and four strikeouts. The Twins scored in the fourth when Joe Mauer led off with a single, went to third on Jason Kubel's single, and scored on Wilkin Ramirez's sacrifice fly.
"That was outstanding," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "Even the umpire said every pitch he threw was going one way or the other. So it's a great sign. He's felt great, he's looked great. It was a good day for him to get out there and get his work in."
Despite Gee's performance this spring -- and the fact that the season starts in 10 days, giving Gee a chance to make one more Spring Training start -- Collins replied "not yet" when asked if he was ready to reveal his Opening Day starter.
Including a March 10 'B' game against the Marlins, Gee has made four starts. The run he allowed to the Twins was the first he has given up since his first outing -- March 5, when he allowed one run over 2 1/3 innings to the Marlins. In all, Gee has pitched 14 2/3 innings this spring, giving up two runs on 16 hits with no walks and 12 strikeouts for a 1.69 ERA.
"I can't give up those free passes," Gee said. "That tends to lead to crooked numbers in innings. That's definitely a big deal for me and something I obviously keep an eye on. So, I'm happy I haven't given up any walks and hopefully we can continue that."
Being given such a comfortable cushion by the offense before throwing a first pitch can sometimes affect a pitcher's game plan.
"It can sometimes, but I try not to let it," Gee said. "They did an unbelievable job hitting today and put up a bunch of runs. Sometimes that can make you get a little bit lackadaisical out there as a starter knowing you have that big cushion. But I just try to be as aggressive as I'm always going to be. No matter what the score is, I try to pound strikes with all four pitches and that's what I tried to do today even with the big lead."
Gee said he is very close to being ready to start the season -- whichever day that may be.
"I think I'll be ready to start the season," he said. "I located well today with the fastball and the offspeed pitches. It was all pretty good for the most part. That's what I am and it's better now so I feel like I'm ready to go. Obviously, I work on stuff all year long, though. There's always stuff to work on. But as of right now, I feel pretty good."
Despite the lack of an official announcement, Gee has already been receiving congratulations from family and friends.
"Yeah, I'm still waiting on the final word and everybody's like, 'Congratulations,'" he said. "They're hearing the same thing. I tell them I haven't been told yet. I'll let you know when I do."

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
I'm getting more and more questions regarding running Visual Studio 2005 on Vista.
Here's the summary from Microsoft:
"Visual Studio 2005 is supported on Windows Vista. We recommend that developers install
Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 and the Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Update for Windows
Vista as they become available (SP1 end of this year, VS Update for Vista Q1 next
year). We also recommend that Visual Studio 2005 be run with elevated administrator
privileges. Visual Studio 2003 & 2002 are not supported on Windows Vista. The
underlying frameworks (.NET Fx 3.0, 2.0 & 1.1) are supported and applications
using them will run on Windows Vista."
(Update 14 Dec) Here are some more
resources ...
You can read more on Soma's blog.
As for SQL Server 2005, I've heard that you won't have any problems installing the
Developer edition, but if you want to install Standard or Enterprise versions, you'll
need to install the CTP
of Beta 2. If you are wanting to use Reporting Services, remember that RS
uses IIS and IIS 7 + Vista are different. Here is a blog
post (in Spanish but the screens are pretty self-explanatory), instructing
on how to properly configure IIS on Vista for RS. Beyond that, there is guidance
in an older June article.

It's the most wonderful time of the year for Pear Bureau Northwest. In celebration of National Pear Month, the organization has designed a public relations campaign to promote pears in December.
The bureau is showcasing chefs with unique pear dishes.
Chefs Greg Denton and Gabrielle Quiñónez Denton from Ox Restaurant in Portland, Ore., created a pear "prosciutto," a dehydrated and thinly sliced pear served with foie gras terrine, pickled chanterelles, malted white chocolate and salted pear reduction.
Chef Ethan Stowell from Tavolàta in Seattle made a dish of pickled, then grilled pears served with endive, frisée, goat cheese and a walnut vinaigrette.
Owner and chef of Pok Pok Restaurants, Andy Ricker, uses pears in his version of Son Tam Phonlamai, a sweet and tart fruit salad dish.
"Menu trend data that we commissioned this year from Mintel Menu Insights shows that while pears in salads and desserts are still growing strong, pear usage in savory applications and ethnic recipes is on the rise," said the bureau's director of communications, Cristie Mather, in a news release.
"Our goal for National Pear Month 2013 is to help boost pear sales by exposing consumers to new, innovative ways of serving pears," she said in the release.
The pear bureau, along with it's brand — USA Pears — is using social media and bloggers to reach consumers across the country. Recipes from the featured chefs, nutritional facts, varietal information and holiday-themed recipes will be shared across multiple media platforms this month.

A Saratoga Springs woman is out of jail following allegations she caused a fatal traffic crash by driving while drunk.
Dawn Grochowski, 52, had been booked into jail on suspicion of driving under the influence Sunday when she drove her jeep off a rocky embankment. The jeep rolled about 50 feet downhill and landed upside down. Passenger Trevor Nielson, 36, died in a hospital the next day.
Grochowski admitted to drinking "a couple of beers" over the previous few hours, said deputy Utah County Attorney Craig Johnson. But her blood-alcohol test remained in the lab on Wednesday, so 4th District Judge David Mortensen found there wasn't enough evidence to hold her in jail, denying Johnson's request for a $100,000 cash-only bail.

The state has extended by 10 years, to 2030, its deadline for Marin General Hospital to build a new, earthquake-safe complex.
Hospital officials say the need for Marin General to build a new, state-of-the-art hospital as soon as possible remains despite the extension.
"We really need to bring the hospital into the 21st century; so much of the facility is outdated," said Jennifer Rienks, president of the Marin Healthcare District board. The publicly elected board oversees Marin General, the county's largest hospital and only official trauma center.
The environmental impact report of a new $500 million complex at the site of the existing hospital in Greenbrae will go to the Marin Healthcare District board in May for approval. The healthcare district plans to ask voters in November to approve a general obligation bond to raise about $350 million for the project. If the bond passes, property owners would pay an additional $15 to $25 per $100,000 of assessed value.
But Bill Rothman of Belvedere, a former district board member, said the seismic safety extension may make winning support for the bond measure tougher, especially with voters who are Kaiser Permanente members and rely on Marin General only for trauma care.
"I think it could create a political problem," Rothman said. "It's one thing to say we would like you to pay additional taxes even though you are not a user of Marin General Hospital, because if you don't the hospital is going to close. It's quite another when there is no emergency situation."
Rothman noted that one of the original rationales for a tax measure was that the new management of the hospital, after the takeover from Sutter Health, would lack the time to establish the financial track record necessary to rely solely on revenue bonds. Revenue bonds would be secured by the hospital's future earnings. Rothman said he agrees, however, that the hospital needs to be modernized.
The deadline extension is the fourth since a state law requiring seismic safety enhancements was signed into law in 1994 after the Northridge earthquake. Marin General was able to secure this latest 10-year extension by taking advantage of a state offer to reassess the seismic risk of its buildings using an updated methodology. The extension was granted after extensive materials testing indicated the existing buildings are not likely to collapse in an earthquake, as initially thought.
Rienks, however, said, "Even if there was no seismic mandate, we'd still need to replace the hospital because it is a 50-year-old building, and medicine has changed so much."
Jon Friedenberg, Marin General's chief fund and business development officer, said eliminating the need for some patients to share rooms is just one of many changes that need to be made.
He said the size of patient rooms needs to be expanded to provide more space for in-room treatment and visiting family members. Friedenberg said studies have demonstrated that patients who get more support from family get well faster.
"If you want to encourage family members to spend more time in the hospital with their loved one, there has to be room for them," he said.
In addition, Friedenberg said, larger operating rooms are needed to utilize innovative new procedures that require additional medical equipment and staff members.
And both Rienks and Friedenberg said a state-of-the-art complex is key to attracting and retaining talented young doctors to work at the hospital.
Kurt Salmon Associates, a management consulting firm that the Marin Healthcare District board hired in 2007 to assess its strategic options, said construction of a new complex would be key to the hospital's future viability.
Larry Tramutola, the Oakland-based political consultant Marin General has hired to advise it on its bond campaign, said he doubts the deadline extension will discourage district residents from voting for the bond measure. Tramutola pointed out that the deadline extension delays the mandate to build a new hospital, but it doesn't eliminate it.
"Even if we delayed this 10 years," Tramutola said, "the costs 10 years from now are going to be so much greater that it is better for us to do it right now."

As Christians, my husband and I knew exactly what Mourdock meant when he said, "A pregnancy resulting from rape is something God intended to happen."
He meant that because God is all-knowing, he would know if a pregnancy would occur from that rape, not that God would cause the rape, and God would not want that child destroyed.
It says in the Bible in Jeremiah 1:5: "I know you before you were formed in our mother's womb and I called you by name." Also, Psalm 139.
That innocent life has no has no idea how or why it was conceived. Mourdock has our vote.
Dan and Eileen LaytonOn Saturday, Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, will be filled with the sound of high school marching bands competing in the ISSMA state finals. Northeast Indiana, especially Allen and surrounding counties, can be proud of our representation at this event.
In Class D (the smallest schools), we are represented by Adams Central; in Class B, North Side will take the field; and in Class A (the largest schools), we are represented by Homestead High School.
Anyone who follows marching band in this area knows that Class C is where the action is for this part of the state. In Class C, we are to be represented by Concordia Lutheran, Norwell and Angola.
This lineup speaks well of our music programs, our work ethic, the support of the communities and especially support from the parents of these performers.
Congratulations to all the bands that made it to state. Travel safely, enjoy the day, cheer each other on, and know that it is an honor to even be there.
I predict that at least one top-three trophy will be earned in our area, and we have reasonable hope that a first-place trophy will reside here for this 2012 ISSMA marching season.
Loretta BarlowIt is time for action!
I have had enough of all this rhetoric about Benghazi. I believe the American people heard enough facts and talk about the president and the Benghazi "fiasco." The body of evidence speaks loudly. The president took an oath the he will "protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States." He failed in the performance of his duty, and he deceived the American people about it.
The bodies in the grave demand action. Censure the president!
If the politicians in Congress have (the nerve), then it can be done in nine days. If not, then throw the rascals out.

choose my Today Show outfit!
But I can't decide between the 2...and this is where YOU come in! Tell me which one you think I should wear, PLEASE:
outfit A (an ebay found anthropologie dress):
or B (a preloved--my favorite store--sweater and gray skirt):
Both have been chosen for their color (you know how I insisted on lucky red) and appropriateness (I looked at what other authors wore and tried not to go toooo overboard) in mind.
Let me know what you think! Leave a comment here with your choice and your reason why! To one random commenter I will send a jar of Very Berry Cherry PEI preserves, fresh from my recent PEI vacation (it's really good jam, you HAVE to try it. soooo yummy!).

Fisrties! (I have a new mission in life, leave comments on all BLG blogs.I also hav ea son who eats nothign but jam.) I vote option A.
- November 18, 2009 at 11:27 PM
- Mitali Perkins said...
You look gorgeous in both, however.
I'm ineligible for the PEI goodies as my closet is stocked with them.
- November 18, 2009 at 11:27 PM
- nelsong said...
I mean BRG, BLG would be some other archi related blog.

- Katrina said...
You should go with the first option. It's way cute! The sweater and skirt is cute too but the dress is waaaay cute!
- November 18, 2009 at 11:32 PM
- Debbi said...
You look fabulous in both, but I like the first one better - you glow! (And I love Anthropologie!)
- November 19, 2009 at 12:00 AM
- Linda S. Wingerter said...
A! It's way perkier.
- November 19, 2009 at 12:10 AM
- Vivian said...
The Anthropologie dress with the necklace! The deeper red looks great on you! If the fabric weight of your dress is heavy, a great pair of long black boots would really set your outfit.
- November 19, 2009 at 12:15 AM
- Martha Flynn said...
I'd go with the dress. With a sweater and skirt combo, you have more opportunities to fidget and reset the skirt, etc. A skirt feels easier.
- November 19, 2009 at 12:21 AM
- kirst68hk said...
Definitely A for Anthropologie. You look hip and your legs look long. Great dress!

Option A FOR SURE!!
That's such a cute dress!! And love the necklace!! Great job putting it together!!
- November 19, 2009 at 2:31 AM
- Deva Fagan said...
The anthropologie dress, because I love the detailing around the neck, and it just looks cuter and spunkier.
But you look great in both! Good luck on the show!
- November 19, 2009 at 4:55 AM
- Mom2Isabel said...
Most Definitely the first one!
It looks great without being stuffy.
The second looks too school-girlish.
- November 19, 2009 at 6:25 AM
- haomom said...
A for sure...it's a lovely color, great styling, you look hip...plus I think you will feel great in it!
I agree with dress over 2 piece...
- November 19, 2009 at 6:26 AM
- Jeannine said...
I'm joining the A group. Lucky red dress AND lucky red necklace can't be beat, though of course you look lovely in B. And to me dress says a bit more "excited" which I know you will and should be.
You are too sweet to give us a vote.
- November 19, 2009 at 8:04 AM
- Mandi said...
Love the first red dress. It is really cute.
- November 19, 2009 at 8:11 AM
- annebroyles said...
Since there will be closeups as much as long shots during your interview, I vote for A because it creates an interesting frame for your face and includes texture and variety. Ultimately, it depends on what makes you feel more confident and comfortable. You want to focus on your words and stage presence, not your clothing, once you're on stage.
I'm glad you've enjoyed this search! And I know the actual event (though possibly nerve-inducing) will go well.
- November 19, 2009 at 8:25 AM
- pd said...
A wins, hands down! It shows your energy.
Good Luck on the show :)
- November 19, 2009 at 8:34 AM
- Nicole Tadgell said...
A for sure! And the necklace really pulls it all together, too. You are beautiful inside and out!
- November 19, 2009 at 8:57 AM
- Sarah said...
I love them both-- A looks more fun, B is more serious. Fun is almost always better.
- November 19, 2009 at 9:01 AM
- jama said...
OMG, this is a hard choice. Love both, of course, but I'm going against the tide and choose B.
First dress is girly and fun; sweater and skirt is more mature and "writerly" looking, and would make me, as a viewer, more apt to pay attention to you and what you're saying rather than what you're wearing.
Really though, you can't lose going with either option. Just depends on whether you're going for a more classic or contemporary look.
- November 19, 2009 at 9:07 AM
- elle said...
A is totally gorgeous. I like that it isn't too 'writerly' -- you'll surprise people. Good luck! Will it be youtubeable, can't get it here in HK...
- November 19, 2009 at 9:28 AM
- yamster said...
I vote A, too (yay for eBay and Anthropologie!), although the practical side of me wants you to be warm in B. I think the studio lights will keep you toasty, though! :)
- November 19, 2009 at 10:04 AM
- Natasha said...
Outfit A! Too cute!
- November 19, 2009 at 10:30 AM
- Phyllis Harris said...
I vote for option A. You look fabulous in both but the red dress looks unbelievable! :o)
- November 19, 2009 at 10:53 AM
- AM said...
I say A
- November 19, 2009 at 11:36 AM
- The Hernandez Herd said...
I like the first one.
Looking foward to the show.
- November 19, 2009 at 11:48 AM
- Vijaya said...
The dress, Grace. It shows off your figure and it's stylish and fun. So you.
- November 19, 2009 at 12:05 PM
- Grace Lin said...
Thanks, Everyone (I should offer free jam more often)! This is very helpful, keep the comments coming!
Do you think if I wore a black cardigan over the dress, it would be more "writerly?" Hate to cover up the sleeves, though.
I might change the necklace too...been browsing etsy!
- November 19, 2009 at 12:34 PM
- alissa imre said...
i vote A. more fun and it might be hot under the lights.
- November 19, 2009 at 12:40 PM
- Libby Koponen said...
A: more fun, and as Alissa said - might be hot under the lights, and I think one color one dress always stands out more than a skirt and sweater -- especially on camera and especially for those of us who aren't tall....
Both are super-cute, though.
- November 19, 2009 at 1:27 PM
- Susan Adrian said...
A, definitely! It's such a pretty dress, and you look happy and comfortable in it.
- November 19, 2009 at 1:37 PM
- shelley said...
I like the first outfit best.
- November 19, 2009 at 2:36 PM
- Barbara O'Connor said...
The first one looks more "fun". Although you would look gorgeous in a red paper bag.
- November 19, 2009 at 5:49 PM
- Sonny said...
Ha. You are really so cute! However, the first dress is very flattering on you and thus my choice.
- November 20, 2009 at 12:17 AM
- nanscorner said...
I love the first choice!
- November 20, 2009 at 6:10 AM
- elle said...
Yes - black cardigan would look great. How bout three-quarter length sleeves for added flair? Someone mentioned boots, black cardi, black boots, lucky red dress = perfection. (And in keeping with the cold season!)
- November 20, 2009 at 10:30 AM
- Bill said...
Hi. I am Ella. I am 6. I like the red dress (but you look great in both). But my vote is the red dress.
I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at your book event in Pennsylvania.
- November 20, 2009 at 8:10 PM
- MotherReader said...
The dress is super cute, the sweater/skirt combo is fine - but looks too casual. I definitely put my vote for A.
- November 20, 2009 at 10:00 PM
- Esther said...
Hi Grace, I enjoy following you on Twitter. You came to the school where I work in Wellesley a couple of years ago. Everyone loved you and your books. Did you ever find a wooden school desk? It is time to have you back!
I say go with the red dress. It looks fabulous and it will be so comfortable for your very exciting day! Best of luck to you.
PEI is the best! My grandmother was a school teacher there.
- November 21, 2009 at 3:58 PM
- Linda said...
Go with the dress.........and you can war it another time, too.
The sweater is nice - but more casual......
- November 22, 2009 at 7:38 PM
- Lucille said...
I vote A, the red dress, as well. It looks terrific on you and says in an understated but funky way "special occasion!"
Best of luck with Al and the kids- you'll be great.

MONTEREY PARK – Police investigating a Valentine's Day disturbance between a boyfriend and girlfriend shot and killed an Ontario man early Friday after he allegedly brandished a gun, authorities said.
Emmanuel Franco, 25, died at the scene of the officer-involved shooting, which took place just after midnight in the 400 block of South Atlantic Avenue, Lt. Larry Dietz of the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner said.
Monterey Park police officers responded to a report of a disturbance between a boyfriend and girlfriend at a motel, Los Angeles County sheriff's officials said in a written statement.
On arrival, the officers were directed to a vehicle that was leaving the motel, officials said. Two patrol cars pulled the vehicle over at Atlantic Boulevard and Harding Avenue.
"The suspect vehicle stopped and a male passenger exited the vehicle," according to the sheriff's department statement. "After the suspect brandished a handgun, an officer-involved shooting occurred."
The man – later identified as Franco – died at the scene, officials said, and a handgun was recovered, officials said.
It was not clear how many officers fired, how many shots were fired or how many times the suspect was struck.
No officers were injured in the incident, officials added.
A phone number listed in public records as belonging to Franco was disconnected Friday.
A search of San Bernardino and Los Angeles County booking records turned up numerous prior convictions for Franco, all of them traffic cases primarily involving driving on a suspended license.
Franco's license was suspended following an August, 2006 drunken driving conviction, according to court documents.
A domestic violence case against Franco was dismissed in November of last year, and he had no other conviction for violent crimes in Los Angeles or San Bernardino counties.
Monterey Park police officials deferred all comments to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Homicide Bureau, which is assisting in the investigation. Handling detectives could not be reached for comment.
Officials shut down the intersection of Atlantic Boulevard and Harding Avenue as they investigated the scene until about 9:30 a.m.
No further details were available.

Cole D. Picotte, 21, of North Platte, was charged Sunday with sexual assault of a minor.
Police learned that the girl might have been with Picotte near the 1900 block of W. Fourth, and police found them later that evening.
Police information officer Rodney Brown said investigators believe Cole and the girl were in an intimate relationship.
Picotte was jailed and his bond was set at $100,000. He is also charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
In court Tuesday, Lincoln County Judge Ken Turnbull assigned a public defender and reaffirmed bond at $100,000.
Picotte also had outstanding warrants for failing to appear twice on other charges.
Turnbull said those warrants would remain active. The two $5,000 bonds for failure to appear will be concurrent with the felony bond, so if Picotte bonds out on the assault charges he will be subject to arrest on the other warrants and have to pay 10 percent of another $10,000 to be released again.
Picotte has previous charges. A year ago he was arrested for two counts of theft related to a Bobcat bucket and dozer blade that turned up at North Platte Metals. In August 2011 he was charged with criminal mischief, according to sheriff's records.
In county court Tuesday, Benjamin Beauvais, 21, of North Platte, stood for arraignment in county court for driving while intoxicated, two counts of leaving the scene of a property damage accident and criminal mischief.
He asked for a public defender.
His bond is $10,000.

KICKBOXER Annabelle Shoob is hoping her fight career is back on track after she clinched her biggest-ever title last weekend.
The 20-year-old has endured a difficult past few years in the ring but after being taken under the wing of governing body the World Ring Sports Association (WRSA) and switching her training from Bristol's Highlanders club to the UKCBA gym in Evesham, Shoob laid down a marker by claiming her third WRSA Pro Am title.
Despite giving away almost four kilos in weight, Shoob, who lives in Patchway in Chippenham, beat Tamworth Kickboxing Academy's Tori Willetts on points to seal the WRSA Pro Am English title at 57.5kg at Worcester's Perdiswell Leisure Centre.
"It was make or break for me really because I've had a few years where things haven't gone right for me and if I didn't win this one, it would have set me back," said Shoob, who has previously won the WRSA Midlands Area and Southern Area amateur titles.
"When I was at the Bristol club, I was fighting all of the time and not giving my body the chance to recover. I fought for the British and Commonwealth Pro Am titles but I wasn't prepared for them and ended up losing.
"About nine months ago, I explained the situation to Steve and Annie Humphrey, who run the WRSA, and they agreed to take me on and get me training in Evesham.
"The other girl was over the weight last weekend but I didn't want to let down the people that had bought tickets to watch me so I just took the fight – she got me with a few good shots but I won all five rounds."
Shoob works part-time as a waitress at Guyers House Hotel in Corsham and is sponsored by DS Smith Packaging, of Devizes, and Chippenham Royal cue club.
The Wiltshire kickboxer, who began fighting at Chippenham's Spartans gym, is on the lookout for new sponsors. For information email email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Mozilla has released a second beta of its distributed online identity system, Mozilla Persona.
The Persona project is Mozilla's effort to tackle online identity management by eliminating usernames and passwords. Instead, Persona shifts the focus away from individual websites and handles the login details for you, using just your email address.
Among the new features in this release are some speed improvements, integration with Firefox OS and, most importantly, support for signing in with your existing Yahoo webmail account.
It's the latter feature that just might give Persona the traction it needs to convince more big name sites to support it.
Using the new Yahoo email-based sign-in feature you can sign in to any website that supports Persona without creating a username or password — you just drop in your Yahoo email address and you're done.
Mozilla calls this Identity Bridging and it's available now for Yahoo.com email users with other popular webmail providers coming in the future. You can try it out on Mozilla's demo site — click "Sign in", enter your Yahoo email address and you're done. To see what it looks like in action, check out the video below:
For more on Persona and the new features, head on over to the Mozilla blog. If you'd like to see what it takes to support Persona on your site (thankfully it's much easier than OpenID), the Mozilla Developer Network has a good tutorial.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Topic: New to the board
Hello, I am new to this board, and glad to of found it. My mother is 62 yrs old, and was officially diagnosed with bile duct cancer in Feb 2012. She had symptoms of jaundice on the 2nd week of Jan 2012. After going to the emergency room, to a nearby hospital, and staying there for 3 weeks, with no diagnosis, we decided to move her to a bigger hospital in the city. We live in staten island, ny and are now going to mount Sinai for her treatment.
She was not a candidate for liver transplant because of her getting a biopsy on that area. We were told by the head of the liver transplant dept that the area where her biopsy was done, made her ineligible. She also cannot get surgery due to the tumor location being near major blood vessels.
The move to the bigger hospital helped because she was able to get her stents placed, where as the hospital in staten island had no GI's who wanted to perform it on her. I think because they were not experienced with this case.
She's had her first stents placed in March 2012, and went great. She then started her chemotherapy (gemzar) in April, and was doing well.
Then in May, she started to catch fevers and noticed that her urine was getting dark again. After doing blood work, they said that she will have to change her stents, because one of them got clogged. Her 2nd time around wasn't easy breezy. She still had fevers, and also got fluid buildup in her stomach. After a few weeks, she got better but the fluid did not go down.
She took a trip down to Korea, to see if she can get a laser treatment on the cancer. The doctors advised her that she cannot of the tumor location on her major blood vessels.
She is now back home, continuing her chemotherapy at a lower dose. The dose that she was getting was too strong and her platelets were very low.
My dad, sister and I are her care takers. I can speak for myself that in the beginning I was very upset, and depressed. I did not know how to handle all this. My mother is battling her 3rd cancer, and I just feel insecure not knowing what to expect.
These days, I am trying to be strong her and be there for her. Are there any ways to help with her platelets?
Thank you all for reading. Good luck to you and your loved ones.

Incident Connect
The Incident Connect subproject is one of several projects included in the City of Portland's Public Safety Systems Revitalization Program (PSSRP) portfolio.
This project consists of three separate, but equally important tasks:
- Design and implement the "WebEOC Interface" that will transmit data from the Bureau of Emergency Communication's (BOEC) Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system to the Bureau of Emergency Management's (PBEM) Web Emergency Operations Center (WebEOC. By creating this link, the process in which critical event data is populated into WebEOC will be automated and streamlined. This will save time and personnel focus for PBEM, thus allowing them to focus on the event, rather than the data.
- Design and implement the "Media Feed", thus restoring an interface that existed with the BOEC's previous CAD system. During cut-over to the new CAD system, a link which automatically gathered and disseminated flagged 911 data to local media outlets was severed due to incompatibility with the new system. With the new system operational and stable, resources can now be used to reinstate this link.
- Design and implement the "Open Data Initiative Feed". As with the Media Feed, this previously existing interface was incompatible with BOEC's new CAD system and needs replacing. Much in the way the Media Feed with gather information, this interface will provide public outlets flagged 911 data for consumption and development purposes.
The WebEOC interface was completed in November of 2012. The Media Feed and Open Data Initiative Interfaces are scheduled to launch in early February, 2013.
What will this project cost?
This project is estimated to cost $68,000.

Rhino Handmade Spotlights Celebrated Songwriter's Self-Titled Debut With Deluxe Three-Disc Edition Featuring The Original Album Remastered And Expanded With Out-of-Print And Unreleased Recordings, Plus a Rare 1972 Interview
Limited Edition 7" Available With First 500 Copies
Pre-Order Now Exclusively At Rhino.com. Set For Release On August 16
"Swamp pop" pioneer Bobby Charles is perhaps best know for writing songs that became hits for others, like "See You Later Alligator" for Bill Haley and "Walking To New Orleans" for Fats Domino. But in 1971, the Louisiana native moved to Woodstock, New York and recorded an overlooked masterpiece that combines Charles' Cajun roots with R&B and country influences on ten timeless tracks. Released in 1972 on Bearsville Records, Bobby Charles features Charles leading a session stacked with top-shelf talent, including Mac "Dr. John" Rebennack, pedal steel ace Ben Keith, guitarist Amos Garrett, saxophonist David Sanborn, as well as Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, and Garth Hudson of The Band.
Rhino Handmade shines a spotlight on this "lost" classic with a three-disc Deluxe Edition that combines a remastered version of the original with a wealth of unreleased material recorded during those sessions and others recorded at Bearsville Studios throughout 1974. The set closes with a newly unearthed, 30-minute interview Charles did with Barry Hansen (aka Dr. Demento) that was recorded shortly before the Bobby Charles album was released in August 1972. BOBBY CHARLES – DELUXE EDITION is available now for pre-order exclusively at www.rhino.com for a suggested list price of $49.98 and will be available on August 16. The first 500 copies will include a limited edition replica 7" vinyl of Charles' Bearsville single of "Small Town Talk" b/w "Save Me Jesus."
Produced by Charles, Danko and John Simon (producer for The Band), the album remains Charles' most enduring work. A Louisiana vibe is present throughout, steered by the singer's Cajun accent and relaxed phrasing. Every song feels like a hit – evidence of his natural ear for a good hook. For much of the album, Charles sings about life's simpler pleasures – the love of a good woman ("Let Yourself Go"); the things he wants to do in life ("Grow Too Old"); the calming power of nature and companionship ("Wild Apple Trees"); and daydreaming of better days ("Tennessee Blues").
Along with the original album, the first disc also features "New Mexico," "Homemade Songs," "Rosie," and the single version of "Small Town Talk" – four songs that first surfaced on the now out-of-print import, Bearsville Box Set. Four unreleased tracks are also included on the first disc: "Save Me Jesus," (mono single version); "He's Got All The Whiskey" (long version); "Don't Be Surprised" and "You Were There."
The set's second disc contains 17 tracks for more than an hour of unreleased music. It begins with four songs from the Bobby Charles sessions: take one of "He's Got All The Whiskey"; a demo for "New Mexico"; plus a pair of languid country shuffles – "Homemade Songs" and "Done A Lot Of Worse Things" – that rank among Charles' finest work. The remainder of the disc gathers more than a dozen songs Charles recorded with producer Paul Rothchild at Bearsville Studio in 1974, including the New Orleans pop and R&B of "Better Days," "Jealous Kind" and "Whatever Happened" and the Southern funk of "Please Please" and "Why Are People Like That."
Sadly, Charles did not live long enough to see the deluxe reissue of his masterpiece. The Louisiana Music Hall of Fame inductee passed away on January 14, 2010 at the age of 71 after collapsing at his home in Abbeville, Louisiana.

1) Virtual Tour of Ironworker's Cottage
A number of early industrial houses immediately adjacent to Blaenavon ironworks have been preserved by Cadw: Welsh Historic Monuments. Known as Stack Square, they were first erected when the ironworks were established in the late 18th century to provide accommodation for some of the essential and most highly skilled workers. Although small and cramped by modern standards, they probably represent some of the best quality workers' housing built in the town during the period of industrial boom.
For this exercise, one room of one cottage was refurnished for a day and photographed in panorama, to provide a 'virtual tour' of an ironworker's home in about the middle of the 19th century. Time constraints prevented us from filming more of the house, but just about all the essential elements of home life are represented in this simple tour. The 1841 census record for this particular house has been included in the Homes and Health section of the Resource Bank.
The Virtual Tour Itself
As children travel around the room using their mouse, they will come across a number of 'hotspots', represented by an arrow; each of these, when clicked, will take the child into a closer exploration of that particular part of the room. This may take the form of a short video clip, a zoom-in on a part of the room (e.g. the kitchen range) and/or a close-up of an individual object which can then be revolved for closer inspection. NB Children with keen eyes and sharp brains may spot the 'deliberate' mistake in one of the video clips: the lady doing the ironing holds the flat iron without wrapping a cloth around the handle to protect her hand from the heat. Within each hotspot, children can also access a text file which will provide them with some key information about aspects of life in a house such as this.
Key Points
The main teaching points are:
- no gas, electricity, running water, drainage or sewerage in this house. Water would have been collected from outside the house, from a stream, well, pump or perhaps a rain-filled water butt (see bucket hotspot).
- One room was used for virtually all domestic functions, such as: working; cooking; eating; relaxing, washing (bodies and clothes) and even sleeping.
- Lighting was provided by natural light through the small window and/or the door (not in bad weather). This was supplemented by burning rushes (cheap but fairly ineffective) or candles (more light, but expensive). See candle holder hotspot. The window does not open. Poor ventilation in houses was a universal problem, leading to constant problems with dampness. As a result, illness and diseases connected with the respiratory system were commonplace and often fatal.
- Heating was provided by the fire in the kitchen range (fuelled by logs or coal) which was also the means by which all food was cooked (see kitchen range hotspot). In the left hand corner of the fireplace was a small oven for baking wheat bread, although in Wales in the 19th century oatbread was probably more common. This was baked over the fire on a bakestone (just like Welsh cakes) and an example can be seen in the main picture, just behind the bed. Vegetable soup or stew was eaten virtually every day in most Welsh households, and could be found simmering away in a hanging pot or cauldron over the range. The oven on the right hand side could be used to roast meat, although this would have been an infrequent luxury for many families in industrial Blaenavon. Notice also, the kettle on the centre of the grate; the range was the only source of hot water for the family, for cooking, drinking or washing.
- Many industrial workers' houses suffered from severe overcrowding, as parents usually raised as many children as they could. This was partly to increase the family's earning power (see Resource Bank) and partly because the child mortality rate was extremely high (see Activity 2 below). Households were often further enlarged by the taking in of lodgers, again to add income to the family budget. Sleeping arrangements were generally pretty basic, with several (unwashed) people often sharing the same bed (see bed hotspot).
- Some of the most important foods of an industrial worker's household can be seen on the table. In addition to the food mentioned above (i.e. wheat bread, oat bread and stew) staple foods included: butter; lard; cheese; potatoes; vegetables; porridge; with tea and beer as the principal drinks. Food storage was primitive: meat could be salted or smoked, some foods could be pickled or made into preserves (see storage jar hotspot).
- The sparcity of furniture, decoration and 'creature comforts'. Rest and relaxation after an indescribably hard day's labour must have been extremely difficult to obtain.
- The labour intensity of the housework (see broom hotspot). With no electricity, all household chores, such as cleaning, washing and cooking, relied upon human muscle power and effort. N.B. Several female children mentioned in their testimony to the Royal Commission Inspectors that they had to help their mothers with the housework after returning from their day's paid labour (see Servants of the Empire video and Resource Bank).
The Activity
The activity sheet should, again, help children to extract and record key factual information from the tour. Most of the 'answers' or relevant ideas are contained within the hotspot and text files, and extracting this information will test children's observation and note-taking skills.
2) Making Ends Meet Shopping Activity
The aims of this activity are two-fold:
- to see how successfully children can manage a limited family budget and achieve the desired objective of ensuring that their family is well fed, warm and clean. Can they make sensible choices of how to spend their money in order to provide a balanced diet and a comfortable home environment (within the constraints of their budget)?
- To help children to realise that, depending upon their skill, status and earning power, achieving this objective would have been considerably easier for some families and virtually impossible for others.
Children should be encouraged to consider the likely health implications for the poorer families of the fact that their weekly budget simply does not allow for a properly balanced diet and sufficient nutrition to compensate for the family's daily exertions in the workplace. The Babies, Boils and Burials activity in the Homes and Health task should help them to explore this idea further.
An activity sheet has been provided to help to draw some ideas and conclusions together.
i) Occupations and Wages
For this exercise, we have assumed a fixed family size of six people (the sample census records provided in Activity 1 actually suggest a figure of seven). The three families are entirely hypothetical, but the occupations and wages quoted are taken directly from the 1842 Royal Commission report referred to earlier, and are therefore authentic for each family member. NB Both wages and prices are expressed in old pennies (d.) rather than pounds, shillings and pence (£, s. d.) simply because, in a modelling exercise such as this, everything must be expressed in a single unit of currency, to make calculations and comparisons feasible.
ii) Prices and Quantities
The actual prices and units of quantity for each commodity are something of a mixed bag, as we have been forced to draw evidence from a wide variety of sources and dates. Some prices/quantities are almost absolutely exact for Blaenavon in 1842. Records show, for example, that in 1840 the Blaenavon Truck Shop* was charging 24d. for 4lbs of mutton, 22d. for 4lbs of beef and 18d. for a 2lb bag of sugar. Others are accurate for the date, but not necessarily the location; the Illustrated London News, for example, quotes 10d. as the price of a 4lb loaf of wheat bread on October 1st 1843.
In some cases, however, we have discovered the price for a given quantity of a particular commodity, but at a slightly different date; in other cases, we know the proportion of weekly income that would have been spent on average on a particular commodity (e.g. potatoes), but not the actual units of quantity. Some guesswork has therefore been required.
*A Truck Shop was owned and run by the company which employed and paid the workers. Prices were always significantly higher than in private shops, but workers were often paid not in money, but in company tokens which could only be used in the Truck Shop. They were thus tied to the company's prices. The Truck System provoked bitter resentment and was eventually outlawed later in the century.
The Activity
Notwithstanding these complications, however, the validity of the exercise stands. Included in the price list are all the main commodities upon which a working class family would have relied, together with a number of less essential or luxury items which could have been available (and attractive) to it. Children need to make choices as to which of these are most important and how much of their income they will spend on each. By far the most important staple was bread. To make the exercise more realistic, and more difficult, we have therefore taken a fixed amount out of each family budget and set it aside for bread and for rent (the other aspect of the budget over which the family had little or no control). The actual amount consumed by bread has been calculated on the basis of one loaf per man per day and half a loaf a day each for women and children.
It is likely that children will find that, despite the fact that four of them are working, the labourer's family simply cannot buy everything it needs on a weekly basis, let alone put anything away for savings, clothing or furniture. Money for leisure time or recreation barely comes into the equation. The collier's family fares a little better, but can hardly be said to be comfortable. The puddler's family appears to be actually doing quite well at this time. Certainly, puddlers were among the industrial elite, but their wages were subject to huge annual fluctuations and could have plummeted or increased (perhaps considerably) by the same time the next year. Saving was therefore a wise precaution.
N.B. What we simply cannot calculate is the extent to which the family diet would have been supplemented by home grown produce, such as vegetables and perhaps the keeping of a pig. Children could perhaps be asked to think of ways in which the family could acquire food other than with money?
3) Babies, Boils and Burials Activity
Through the first activity in this task area, children will have identified the main characteristics of housing conditions and discussed their potential implications for health and family life; in the second, they will have seen how rates of pay curtailed the ability of many families to provide a balanced, nutritional diet and a healthy home environment. In this activity, children will examine and analyse evidence for the cumulative effects of these circumstances on life expectancy and identify some of the most common and serious types of sickness that afflicted working people in this period.
Burial evidence is taken from the register of deaths for Llanover* parish for the year 1841. Evidence for common illnesses are taken from the log books for St. Peter's School, Blaenavon. These records are from the latter part of the 19th century, however, as the records for our chosen period have been lost. This unfortunate, but an important part of the process of learning how to think like a historian is recognising that sometimes key pieces of the jigsaw are missing. In some cases, we can more or less fill the gaps by using evidence which is of a very similar nature; on this occasion, from the same place, the same source, but slightly later in date. It's not perfect, but it gets us pretty close to where we want to be.
*The ecclesiastical parish of Blaenavon was not created until 1860. It was formed out of parts of a number of other parishes, Llanover being one of them.
The Activity
Babies, Boils and Burials divides into three parts. In the first, children record data relating to the ages at which local people died in 1841. As they log the information on the tally chart, a bar graph automatically forms which illustrates graphically the high incidence of child mortality. In the questions window, the characteristics of this pattern are reinforced and children are asked to use the knowledge they have already acquired to explain some reasons for them. Having learned that large numbers of children were dying at this time, children then discover, through the school log book section, some of the illnesses that were responsible for this appalling death rate.

Aviles providing Tribe versatility, production off bench
CLEVELAND -- Mike Aviles is not one to pout when his name is not in the Indians' starting lineup. The versatile utility man is simply trying to make the most of the games manager Terry Francona gives him.
Such is the life of a good role player.
"We have a lot of good players in here," Aviles said. "When you think about it, it's Tito's decision to put the best players out there that he feels can give us the best chance to win. Whether that's me today or me tomorrow or me the next day or me in two weeks, it doesn't matter.
"I'm on board with whatever he does and with what everybody else does here. That's how we're going to win games."
On the season, the 32-year-old Aviles -- capable of filling in at second base, shortstop and third base -- has appeared in 14 games, hitting .244 (10-for-41) with two home runs and 11 RBIs. He has hit at a .429 (3-for-7) clip in the five games he has come off the bench and, during Sunday's 10-3 win over the Royals, he went 1-for-4 with a homer and five RBIs.
So far this month, starters such as shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera, second baseman Jason Kipnis and center fielder Michael Bourn have missed time due to various ailments. That has opened up some playing time for bench players such as Aviles (41 at-bats, entering Tuesday) and Ryan Raburn (46 at-bats).
"That happens," Francona said of the injuries that have come up. "That's why they're here. I told Mike early in the season, 'You'll get your at-bats.' I just think that's part of what a guy like Mike Aviles can do. When you play him, first of all, you can move him around. And he has the ability to not just hit a single, especially against a left-hander."

The Mendocino County Public Health Department is trying to get more kids walking and bicycling to school.
Four grants of up to $8,500 each are available to local schools to develop and implement "Safe Routes to School" programs, according to county officials.
The goal of the Safe Routes Schools mini-grant program is not only to increase the number of students walking and bicycling to school but also to come up with programs that will continue year after year to encourage that kind of physical activity.
"During the past 20 years, there has been a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States," according to a Public Health statement. "Today, one in five children and one in three teens are overweight or at risk of becoming overweight. In Mendocino County 43 percent of children and youth ages 10-17 were overweight or obese in 2010, according to the California Physical Fitness Test. Safe Routes to Schools can play a critical role in reversing the alarming trend toward childhood obesity and inactivity by creating safe, convenient, and fun opportunities for children to bicycle and walk to and from school."
Public Health's Safe Routes to Schools program works to increase physical activity, reduce traffic congestion and air pollution, improve public safety around schools, and improve student health through program and policy development in the areas of education, encouragement, enforcement, and evaluation.
Projects will be selected based on the following criteria:
? Number of students impacted
? Demonstration of school/parent and community readiness
? Documented history of pedestrian/bicycle safety risk
? Weight and fitness status of students
? Number of students eligible for free and reduced lunch
? Opportunities to leverage resources/funding for greater impact
? High quality non-infrastructure project proposals that complement infrastructure work
? Equitable geographic distribution of funding throughout the county
Awardees will have 15 months, from March 2013 to June 2014, to complete all project activities, according to Public Health. Funds may be used to hire or subcontract with a project coordinator if needed. Activities will include walk or bike to school events and activities, safety education and outreach, research and assessment, and developing and fostering partnerships that support sustainable Safe Routes to Schools programs.
Grant writing assistance will be available at an application workshop on Thursday Feb. 21 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the County Administration Center, located at 501 Low Gap Road in Conference Room C. To learn more about the grant opportunity, RSVP for the application workshop or request an application, contact Jessica Stull-Otto at 472-2608 or e-mail her at firstname.lastname@example.com. Applications must be postmarked by March 8, 2013.

Magnetic resonance angiography
Three-dimensional time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography(3D−TOF−MRA) was used to detect the intracranial aneurysms in this study
Other: Examination
3D−TOF−MRA was performed for suspected patients to detect intracranial aneurysm, and subsequently underwent digital subtraction angiography
Other Name: 3D−TOF−MRA
Detailed Description:
Recent years,three-dimensional time-of-flight MRA (3D-TOF-MRA) has become a useful, contrast-free method for observing intracranial vessels and is widely utilized as a screening examination for intracranial aneurysms. The studies available in Medline show mixed results.Some of these studies just included MRI/MRA in the analysis, which have a high rate of false-positives and are unreliable, and some were lack of control (ruptured aneurysm), precise numbers of false-positive results, standard images process and review, or corroborative IADSA in some patients. Furthermore, most previous studies included small sample size with aneurysm detection at 0.5-T or 1.5-T MR. Thus, these results have been inconclusive because of certain pitfalls in these studies.
Since 2007, we have conducted a clinical study to objective detection of intracranial aneurysms in our routine diagnostic work-up of intracranial aneurysms by our neuroradiologists using a standard procedure with 3D-TOF-MRA with VR at 3T. The investigators want to establish the quality data to prospectively compare 3D-TOF-MRA with VR at 3T vs 3D-RDSA in the diagnosis of intracranial aneurysms in a largest cohort of patients and test it accuracy in screening for suspected patients

The Canadian Red & White Club hosted the 2012 National Red & White Convention, "Me & You @ Rendezvous II" August 13-16 in Listowel, Ontario. The Convention began by members meeting the Canadian Red & White convention chairs for an evening hospitality. On Monday was the annual RWDCA meeting for directors with an evening hospitality, Tuesday entailed farm tours at Bombur, Sauder's and Fradon Holsteins and then shopping in downtown St. Jacobs and dinner at Anna Mae's in Millbank, Wednesday was the 43rd National Red & White Convention Sale, followed by the annual meeting and awards banquet and Thursday was the Ontario Red & White Show.
Monday evening started the convention off with hospitality by convention chair members Ray and Kelly Van Der Wielen to the members present at David Carson Farms & Auctions.
The second day of convention entailed tours of elite dairy herds with Red & White cattle tracing back to well known bloodlines. First stop was Bombur Farms, the home of many daughters by Rosebett Red Licorice-ET. This farm is also home to our cover girls of the resent issue of The Red Bloodlines and the National Convention brochure. Next stop was Sauder Holme Holsteins home to many VG and EX Red & Whites and all family oriented. Last but certainly not least stationed high upon a hill was Fradon Holsteins. Fradon Holsteins is home to the elite Jodie cow family along with many red and red carrier decedents still on the home farm. Post the farm tours, all members were able to experience downtown St. Jacobs for shopping followed by an evening hospitality and dinner for all members at Anna Mae's.
Day three entailed the annual National Red & White Convention Sale, managed by David Carson Farms & Auctions. The sale consisted of 92 lots which averaged $2,078. There were about 150 buyers and spectators present during the sale. Walking away with high seller honors went to a Rose Royce daughter, who also was the 1st place summer yearling at the Ontario Summer Show in 2011, lot 112 selling for $10,000. Second high seller was lot 72, Lenslake Contender Matilda-Red VG-85, selling for $5,200. The third high seller of the day went to Westport Robo Suzanne-Red VG-88, selling for $4,700 and sold as lot 22.
Following the sale, the Annual Meeting and Awards Banquet took place at the Listowel Agricultural Hall in Listowel, Ontario, Wednesday, August 15th with 120 members present. After the meeting dinner was served by the Canadian Red & White Club and was enjoyed by all members. It was the pleasure of this organization to award the work of its outstanding members who have invested in the betterment of the Red & White Cow. The 2012 National Red & White Convention Awards Banquet began with recognizing the 25+ Year Members. John Gillies of Ontario, Canada was awarded the Larry Moore Master Breeder Award, Richard Hurtgen of Oregon received the J.P.

My mom received these in 1982 from a rep when she had a store, they are Dakin Frou Frou's and have the date 1982 on them. One is Orange Crush, one is Grape Crush and the other is Cream Soda. Their hair colour and feet colour reflect the flavour they are to be. They each have a ribbon around their neck with the word Crush on it.
I just find them very cute and have not been able to find another set like them.

Birthday cakes, Cakes & Baking, Chocolate, Party food
Prepare cakes according to instructions.
Level each cake with a knife and spread one cake with ¼ of the buttercream icing (see below). Sandwich the other cake on top to form the base. Ice the entire cake with the remaining icing.
Buttercream Icing
Cream butter for 1-2 minutes. Add the milk, vanilla , cocoa and half of the icing sugar. Beat for approximately 3 minutes. Add the remaining icing sugar and beat for another 3 minutes. The icing is ready to use immediately.
Press white chocolate melts around the top of the bottom of the cake whilst the icing is still wet. This will help the chocolate to stick.
Using a vegetable peeler, peel the block of dark chocolate to make little chocolate curls. Sprinkle this over the top of the cake to make the flower pot "dirt".
Wash and dry strawberries. Insert a skewer into the base of each strawberry. Melt 100g dark chocolate. Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate and sprinkle with coloured sprinkles. (The chocolate hardens quickly on the strawberry so make sure you have your sprinkles ready.)
Thread two mint leaves onto each skewer.
Position the strawberry 'flowers' on cake by poking one end of the skewer into the cake.
