It has become a modern tradition that the story of Christmas be acted out each year by children in countless Christmas pageants. These heartwarming pageants all have the same stock characters, from an innocent girl wrapped in a blue veil holding a baby to three wise men bearing gifts. The story weaves in and out a series of visits made by angels, shepherds, and wise men, and the action is often punctuated by a children's choir singing carols. One character, however, remains static . . . Joseph. Having no lines or gifts, Joseph simply stands in the background and watches the other characters greet Mary and Child. It is not unusual for the young actor playing Joseph to look a bit bored by the end of the performance. This has caused me to wonder whether, in the real story of Christmas, there is anything to learn from Joseph, or is he simply an extra who helps fill out the stage of salvation history?
If we search the New Testament for Joseph, we at first find very little to quench our thirst for knowledge about him. For he is mentioned only in passing by John (1:45, 6:42) and he appears only in the opening chapters of Luke and Matthew. Yet in the midst of this apparent desert, there is a wellspring, an oasis even, of spiritual insight for us, if we would but draw out Scripture's depths.
Drinking thoughtfully at the well of St. Matthew's Gospel, the attentive reader finds that the few words Matthew gives us speak volumes (cf. Mt 11:15), for they echo back to the story of another Joseph, the patriarch Jacob's son. Many readers of Matthew have noticed the strong similarities between St. Joseph and the Joseph of Genesis. Pope Leo XIII in his encyclical Quamquam Pluries (see "Transformation in Christ," pp. 30-31), says that this similarity has been "confirmed by the opinion held by a large number of the Fathers, to which the sacred liturgy gives its sanction, that the Joseph of ancient times, son of the patriarch Jacob, was the type of St. Joseph, and the former by his glory prefigured the greatness of the future guardian of the Holy Family."
St. Matthew's narrative resonates with the ancient story of Joseph in various ways. To begin with, both St. Joseph and his father Jacob share the same names with their Old Testament counterparts. Pope Leo XIII notes that St. Joseph's name itself is " . . . a point the significance of which has never been denied." We first hear the names of St. Joseph and his father in St. Matthew's genealogy where he writes, "… Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born. . . . " By describing Joseph as the son of Jacob, Matthew evokes in the reader's mind the story of another Jacob, "who loved Joseph more than any other of his children" (Gen. 37:3). At this early point in the Gospel narrative, the reader may wonder whether these allusions to the patriarch Joseph are deliberate or not, but little doubt remains when an angel appears to Joseph in a dream.
Matthew's opening narrative is structured with a series of revelatory dreams so as to present St. Joseph to us as a dreamer. An angel first appears to Joseph when he is concerned about taking Mary as his wife (Mt 1:20-21), and again to warn Joseph of Herod's plan to kill the child (Mt. 2:13), and twice more when he calls the Holy Family back to Israel after Herod's death (Mt 2:19-20). Each of these dreams draws forth from our memory the Old Testament stories of Jacob's beloved son both dreaming and interpreting dreams. Genesis recounts how the Joseph of old dreams of the sheaves of his brothers bowing down to his sheaf (Gen. 37:5-7), and of how the sun, moon, and eleven stars, representing his father, mother, and brothers, bow down to him (Gen 37:9-10). These dreams foreshadow Joseph's rise to power in Egypt where he becomes second in authority only to Pharaoh, governing the kingdom where his family eventually seeks refuge. This surprising revelation of the authority of the Old Testament Joseph prefigures the authority of the New Testament Joseph, who has under his authority in the Holy Family Mary, the Queen of Heaven, and Jesus, the Son of God.
The connection between the two dreaming Josephs is confirmed by St. Joseph's second dream. In that dream, St. Joseph is warned about Herod's desire to kill the child and is told to flee to Egypt for safety. With the strong association between Egypt and the patriarch Joseph, it is clear that Matthew is narrating the story of St. Joseph as a typological recounting of the former. Just as the first Joseph went into Egypt because of his brothers' envy, likewise the second Joseph goes to Egypt because of the envy of Herod. The Joseph of old interpreted Pharaoh's dream that warned about the impeding famine, while the second Joseph has a dream that warns of Herod's wicked plans. Both Josephs use the revelation given through the dreams to take measures that save the lives of many. According to Genesis, "All the earth came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth" (Gen 41:57). In the New Testament, Jesus clearly identifies Himself as the "Bread of Life" (Jn 6:48) and is, in fact, born in Bethlehem, which in Hebrew literally means "house of bread." Thus St. Joseph, by providing for and protecting Jesus, supplied the world with the living bread in the midst of this world's spiritual famine. St. Bernard notes this typological connection between the two: The first laid in stores of wheat, for himself and for all the people of the land of Egypt (Gen 41:47-57); to the second was entrusted the care of the living Bread from Heaven, for himself and for the whole world."(1)
The echoes to the Old Testament Joseph are strengthened by the mention of Rachel, who was the patriarch Joseph's mother. Matthew tells us that Herod's slaughter of the innocent children of Bethlehem was prophetically foretold by Jeremiah: "A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be consoled because they were no more" (Mt 2:18). In Jeremiah, these words describe the sorrowful event when many Israelites were rounded up by the Babylonians and taken in chains to Babylon (Jer 40:1). Rachel is depicted as weeping because those from Ramah were from the tribe of her son, Benjamin (Josh 18:25). Since Rachel's tomb was located at Bethlehem, Matthew reapplies Jeremiah's moving description of Rachel weeping for those at Ramah to the picture of her weeping with the mothers of Bethlehem. Both Matthew and Jeremiah take the image of Rachel weeping for her children from the Genesis narrative. When Joseph's brothers report to Jacob, Rachel's husband, that Joseph was killed by a wild beast, we are told that Jacob "refused to be consoled" (Gen 37:35). Jeremiah describes Rachel's sorrow in the same terms that Genesis describes Jacob's sorrow. Jacob wept for his son Joseph, believing him to be dead when he actually was sold as a slave to Egypt, just as Jeremiah pictures Rachel weeping for those who were taken into Babylonian captivity, but who would later return to Bethlehem (Ezra 2:21). Likewise the mothers of the slaughtered children in Bethlehem wept for their children, not yet realizing that they would be resurrected with the glory of being the first martyrs for Christ.
St. Matthew has narrated the story of Joseph so as to evoke many striking similarities between him and his namesake. By alluding to certain parallels, Matthew opens the door for readers to make further comparisons beyond those to which he alludes. In literary studies, the method of evoking further echoes between two texts than are explicitly alluded to is called metalepsis. Thus, "when a literary echo links the texts in which it occurs to an earlier text, the figurative effect of the echo can lie in the unstated or suppressed points of resonance between the two texts…. [The] allusive echo functions to suggest to the reader that text B [Mt. 1-2] should be understood in light of a broad interplay with text A [Gen. 37-50], encompassing aspects of A beyond those explicitly echoed."(2)
Many readers, using this method, have followed the trajectory set by Matthew by drawing further comparisons between the two Josephs, particularly in the areas of purity, presence of God, and patronage.
Chaste Spouse of the Virgin
The patriarch Joseph was known for his heroic purity, in which many see a prefigurement of St. Joseph's virginal purity. Thus St. Bernard observes, "The first, keeping faith with his master, refused to lie with his master's lady (Gen 39:12); the second, respecting the maidenhood of his Lady, the mother of his Lord, was faithful to his own chastity."(3) St. Bernard is referring to the account in Genesis where Potipher's wife tries to seduce Joseph, who heroically flees. In speaking of St. Joseph's purity, St. Bernard exemplifies the Church's Tradition, which extols St. Joseph's chastity. In purity and holiness, St. Joseph guards and protects the virginity of Mary, and by so doing shouts to all the earth the marvel of the Annunciation and Incarnation. For this reason, Christian art and iconography commonly depict Joseph reclining or even sleeping at a distance from Mary and the Christ Child, thus highlighting the purity of his relationship with Mary, and showing that God the Father is the true father of Jesus. Such noble chastity is so significant to God's plan of salvation that it is prefigured by the patriarch Joseph.
Guardian of Emmanuel
God's abiding presence is similarly shared by both Josephs. The Joseph of old, through his virtue, found favor with God, and thus we are often told that "God was with him" (Gen 39:2, 3, 21, 23; 41:38) in the midst of his trials in Egypt. It is not accidental that Holy Writ describes God as being present with Joseph during the most difficult times of his life. Thus God's Word to St. Paul rings true for Joseph: "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness" (2 Cor 12:9). Undoubtedly, the second Joseph also found favor with God, "being a just man" (Mt. 1:19), and therefore was chosen to be the guardian of the child called Emmanuel, "God with us"! God Himself, in Jesus Christ, dwelt intimately with Joseph and Mary in the daily life of the Holy Family.
Patron of the Universal Church
Pope Leo XIII developed a further similarity between the two to help illustrate why St. Joseph is the patron saint of the entire Church:
Thus it is that we may prefigure the new in the old patriarch. And as the first caused the prosperity of his master's domestic interests and at the same time rendered great services to the whole kingdom, so the second, destined to be the guardian of the Christian religion, would be regarded as the protector and defender of the Church, which is truly the house of the Lord and the kingdom of God on earth.
Leo XIII sees in the patriarch Joseph's rule in Egypt, and in St. Joseph's paternal authority in the Holy Family, the prefigurement of St. Joseph's patronage of the universal Church.
St. Matthew may not have been the first to see the typological foreshadowing of St. Joseph. It is likely that Joseph, after the angel announced the mystery of the Incarnation to him in a dream, reflected on the dreams of an earlier Joseph. As Joseph walked through the perilous wilderness on the way to Egypt, leading the Holy Family, he must have thought of this forefathers who had crossed the same desert regions in search of refuge in Egypt (e.g., Gen 12:10; 46:4). He may have recalled that God had provided once before for an Israelite named Joseph in Egypt, with the hope that He would do so again. In their sojourn through the wilderness, Joseph and Mary had with them the true heavenly manna and the Rock from which springs life-giving water. Joseph, reflecting on God's Word as he carried the Word made Flesh in his arms, trusted that God would once again lead His Son out of Egypt in a new Exodus.
St. Matthew, as a good scribe, recorded the following words of Jesus: "Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasures what is new and what is old" (Mt 13:52). Matthew has certainly brought out treasures from the old story of Joseph to enrich our reading of the new Joseph. With a few words, Matthew teaches us much about this holy guardian of the Holy Family. St. Teresa of Avila is one reader of Matthew who has treasured this rich account of St. Joseph. She often visited these passages of Matthew, drawing great enrichment from the deep well of St. Joseph's example and intercession. Her example would inspire us to greater devotion to the humble carpenter of Nazareth, whose patronage the Lord uses in building up His Kingdom:
I wish I could persuade everybody to be devoted to this glorious saint, for long experience has taught me what blessing he can obtain from God for us…. His aid has brought me more good than I could ever hope for from him. I do not remember once having asked anything of him that was not granted. I am full of wonder at the great graces God has bestowed on me, and the perils to body and soul from which He has freed me, at the intercession of this blessed saint. God seems to have given other saints power to help us in particular circumstances, but I know from experience this glorious St. Joseph helps in each and every need. Our Lord would have us understand that, since on earth He was subject to this man who was called His father, whom as His guardian He had to obey, so now in Heaven He still does all that Joseph asks.(4)

Thanks for the puzzle. I have book marked some of them to do later. My late grandfather was one of a team that kept the plane of a WW1 air ace, James McCudden was his name, I think from what my mother has said was tghat McCudden was the best of the pilots at that time. WW2 planes are altogether different, and you have some great pictures I will enjoy doing.
Many thanks.

Procedural issues lead to ban of Bayer pesticide
By Rick Wills, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
January 1, 2010
A federal judge banned the sale of a Bayer CropScience pesticide that environmental groups and commercial beekeepers say is potentially toxic to the nation's threatened honeybee population.
Both Bayer CropScience, a North Carolina subsidiary of Bayer AG, and the Environmental Protection Agency have 60 days to appeal the decision of Manhattan U.S. District Judge Denise Cote.
The ban would make the sale of spirotetramat, known by the trade names Movento and Ultor, illegal in the United States after Jan. 15.
Cote's decision does not explicitly address the inconclusive impact the pesticide might have on honeybees. Instead, she faulted the EPA for ignoring steps required in any pesticide approval process, including failing to take public comment and failing to publish Bayer's application and the agency's approval in the Federal Register.

Britpop Night from 8.30pm, BBC4 When your grandchildren ask you what you did during the Britpop years you can hold your head up and say, "I did some terrible things, but at least I wasn't in Menswear or Powder." This evening gives you a chance to trawl through the music that, with hindsight and a lack of drugs in the system, sounds quite dreadful. Of course there are a few exceptions - Pulp, Supergrass and Oasis certainly had their moments and it's always fun to see ex-Blur guitarist Graham Coxon cringe his way through their "cor blimey" knees-ups.
Phelim O'Neill
Six Feet Under 10pm, E4 This is a remarkably dark beginning to the new series. George is losing his mind; Clare has moved in with the equally unstable Billy; and the opening death involves a woman standing up to her husband for the first time and subsequently eye-butting a fire iron. But even more darkness is settling on Brenda, as she miscarries the day before her wedding.
Will Hodgkinson
His Girl Friday (Howard Hawks, 1940) 10.40am, 8pm, Sky Cinema 1 Ginger Rogers, Jean Arthur, Claudette Colbert - they all turned down the part of Hildy Johnson, ace reporter, in this sparkling remake of The Front Page. So Rosalind Russell landed a role to die for. She's about to marry steady insurance guy Ralph Bellamy, but her editor - and ex - Cary Grant has other plans. Charles Lederer's adaptation of the Hecht/MacArthur play is bursting with wit and gags, delivered at a furious, five-minutes-to-deadline pace. Jailhouse Rock (Richard Thorpe, 1957) 3.15pm, 10.55pm, TCM A day full of Elvis movies on TCM? Must be the anniversary of his death. This one demonstrates that Presley, king of rock'n'roll, was usually a bit of a knave when it came to acting. Here he ain't nuthin' but a hangdog, sneering away as Vince Everett, sent to prison after a death in a barroom brawl . Elvis is electric, though, on the songs - from Treat Me Nice to the great Jailhouse Rock.
Godsend (Nick Hamm, 2004) 8pm, Sky Movies 1 When the Duncans (Greg Kinnear, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos) lose their eight-year-old son they turn in desperation to Doc Robert De Niro. Down at the Godsend fertility clinic his offer of a cloned replacement is irresistible, but in this pretty predictable horror tale the parents get more than they bargained for (but parents always do, don't they?). Marvin's Room (Jerry Zaks, 1996) 8.30pm, FilmFour A moving study of family life and love, beautifully acted by a starry ensemble. Diane Keaton's devoted middle-aged Bessie is caring for her dying father and elderly aunt; but when Doc Robert De Niro (a different doc to the previous film) tells Bessie she's ill too, she needs the help of her estranged sister Meryl Streep and rebellious nephew Leonardo DiCaprio to cope. Adapted by Scott McPherson - who died young of Aids - from his own play, it may sound maudlin, but it's an admirably restrained, intelligent drama.

With the Ducks looking like a near lock to face Kansas State or Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl, they have time to rest and recover as they prepare for what will likely be their fourth consecutive BCS Bowl appearance.
In the meantime, the Ducks' coaches have been hitting the road to visit their current commits and check in on their remaining targets for the Class of 2013. Several 2014 targets have been visited as well and it seems the Ducks have plenty of early attention from some of the elite prospects in that class.
With the holidays fast approaching, the mailman has been busy, but not too busy to deliver your questions to DuckNation.
Sandy F. (Redding, Calif.): Are there any off-the-radar recruits or players committed to other schools that you believe will wind up signing with Oregon?
DuckNation: There are several players who could wind up signing with the Ducks who have yet to receive an offer. RB Kani Benoit (Phoenix/Thunderbird) is one to keep an eye on as things progress. If the Ducks are unable to land ATH Tarean Folston (Cocoa, Fla./Cocoa) as their third RB in the Class of 2013, they will likely offer Benoit.
David F. (San Pedro, Calif.): What is the biggest position of need for the Ducks from here on out?
DN: It depends on how you look at it. Linebacker is the biggest position as far as numbers, and likely, importance. The losses of Michael Clay and Kiko Alonso will leave a big hole in the second level. The Ducks are looking to sign three linebackers in this class and have one future linebacker already on board, as Tyrell Robinson (San Diego/Lincoln) has committed as an athlete. The Ducks are still pursuing Mike Mitchell (Plano, Texas/Prestonwood), Peter Kalambayi (Matthews, N.C./Butler) and Zayd Issah (Harrisburg, Pa./Central Dauphin) for the remaining spots.
Fred C. (Los Banos, Calif.): Darren Carrington Jr. (San Diego/Horizon) had a great year all over the field. Is he for sure playing receiver in Eugene? Who else are they going after to make plays out wide?
DN: Yes, Carrington was outstanding during his senior season. For the first time in his high school career he played most of his snaps at the position he will man for the Ducks, wide receiver. He had some good numbers on the ground and even threw for more than 400 yards in a playoff game as an emergency quarterback. That being said, his future is at wide receiver and the Oregon coaches know it.
The Ducks are still looking good for John Ross (Long Beach, Calif./Jordan) as he appears to favor Oregon, along with Washington and UCLA. The Ducks are also looking at James Quick (Louisville, Ky./Trinity) and to a lesser extent, Marquez North (Mallard Creek, N.C./Mallard Creek). Thomas Duarte (Santa Ana, Calif./Mater Dei) is a dual threat wide receiver/tight end who has the Ducks among his final five schools, along with Notre Dame, UCLA, Washington and Arizona State.
Sterling G. (DeSoto, Texas): Who will make a bigger impact on the Ducks next year between Dontre Wilson and Thomas Tyner? Both are ranked very highly, even though Wilson is listed as an athlete, he is going to play running back in Eugene, isn't he?
DN: Yes, Wilson (DeSoto, Texas/DeSoto) is in line to play running back for the Ducks and fits the style of play perfectly. His speed, agility and awareness make him the ideal fit for the Oregon attack. His versatility as a return man and a receiver out of the backfield -- or the slot -- make him the main candidate to receive a heavy workload as a freshman.
Tyner (Aloha, Ore./Aloha) is more of a straight-line runner, and he is actually faster than Wilson based on track times. He is more of a classic downhill runner that will find his place in the offense and be a huge factor for the Ducks in time. Once Tyner gets into space, there are few that can catch him. Oregon gets its guys into space often, so Tyner should see the field early and often. The combination of Wilson and Tyner could be nearly as exciting and productive as LaMichael James and Kenjon Barner were for the Ducks.

An open access journal, OJSM promotes unrestricted, international readership of the content it publishes. Accepted articles will be published on a continuous basis, allowing for rapid dissemination of findings.
"The Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine offers an intriguing publishing alternative for researchers and practitioners studying orthopaedic sports medicine and appeals to a truly international constituency of authors and readers," stated Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Bruce Reider and Associate Editors Drs. Allen F. Anderson and Mark E. Steiner. "While the journal publishes articles that are free and open to this global readership, they are thoroughly peer-reviewed and reflect the same standard of scientific rigor demonstrated by all AOSSM journals. As editors, our goal is to create a publication that is the most respected, authoritative, and widely accessed journal in the field."
"SAGE is pleased to expand our portfolio of open access journals to include the Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, and further partner with the AOSSM with this addition to their highly reputable journals, The American Journal of Sports Medicine and Sports Health," stated Bob Howard, SAGE's Vice President of Journals. "With editorial board members from more than 30 different countries on 6 continents, the articles presented in this open access journal are truly global in nature, reflect the most current international innovations, and appeal to an unlimited audience around the world."

Bibi's Boycott: Will 2014 Be the Year That Israel Divorces the World?
Make no mistake. Whatever gains BDS scores this coming year, this will be Bibi's boycott, the only real achievement he can point to. This will be Israel's doing.
One week. Just one cold, dark, miserable week in December, but more than long enough to understand the reason why boycotts against Israel may be gaining...

Reading Town Meeting is right-sized, according to its members.
With 121 members opposed and six in favor, Town Meeting voted against reducing its size from 192 to 144 members, from 24 to 18 in each of the town's eight precincts.
By a similar vote – 113 against and 15 in favor, the body also rejected a motion to increase the number of write-in signatures required to be elected to that body.
"(N)ot enough residents of the community (are) interested in being Town Meeting members to sustain a Town Meeting of 192 members," the warrant article states, based on a number of figures, including seats available each year from 2007 to 2012 and the number of names on the ballot, as well as write-ins.
Instead of reducing the size of Town Meeting, several members, including Robert Connors in Precinct 4, suggested that members should encourage other residents to run for Town Meeting seats.
The last few years are not enough time to see a trend in Town Meeting membership, said member Will Finch from Precinct 8.
Reducing the number of members would limit discourse, said John Halsey in Precinct 1; he said he was new to the body.
The town's representative Town Meeting is a step away from the democracy of an open Town Meeting, said Angela Binda from Precinct 5.
via Reading Town Meeting Size to Remain At 192 Members – Reading-North Reading Patch, MA Patch.
Jeff Parenti has provided what should be eye opening statistics through his latest post on his Billerica oriented website: http://cantgettherefromhere.wordpress.com
In addition to the information provided via the Reading Patch and Jeff's website, Reading also lists only the names and addresses of their Town Meeting Representatives and omits e-mail addresses and telephone numbers for precinct representatives from their contact information.
In that vein, here is an update on my attempt to get such information from our Town Clerk.
I just sent a follow-up e-mail to the Secretary of State to the original request for assistance sent May 29, 2012 in how to obtain e-mail and phone information from the Town Clerk's office for Billerica. I'll let you know if or when I receive a reply as well as its content.
My next option is to send a copy of that e-mail to news outlets and to request assistance from the Institute for Justice in making what should be public domain information available via the courts. Again, as each milestone is reached, I will keep you appraised of any progress toward this goal.
Until then, best to all of you for your support.

A man in the UK was reported missing after not contacting friends and family shortly after the new year. Twenty year old Dale Rowlison-Bates was last seen on New Year's Day around 5:30am by some friends after a night of parting in Birmingham, U.K.
When Dale's mom hadn't heard from him in almost 24 hours she started to panic. Julie Rowlinson-Bates called police and even made a Facebook page to try and help find her son.
Turns out that little Rowlinson-Bates had met a nice lass and decided to ring in the new year with her at her place for a few days. Dale contacted his older brother around 4pm on January 2nd to finally end the search, which was utilizing about 50-police officers, according to the Huffington Post.
"He had been staying in Birmingham with a girl," Julie Rowlinson-Bates said of offspring, "He obviously spent a day or so with the girl and then came home."
That is the best excuse we've ever heard for an extended World Of Warcraft session.

This is a genius prank (or a principled stand, take your pick—there is no third choice). The kids who are responsible for this magnificent move should all be given full scholarships by the Daily Kos college fund:
Open up the Russellville Middle School yearbook. You'll see the students' pictures, the administration, and a pretty controversial list that's supposed to be covered with a piece of black tape.
"My problem is the tape can be removed easily," said School Board Member Chris Cloud. Cloud has two kids in the Russellville School District and one brought home the yearbook.
"I'm furious as a parent and as a board member and as a tax payer and as a resident of Russellville," he said. "It's wrong."
If this is wrong, as the song goes, then I don't wanna be right:
The list is titled "Top 5 worst people of all time." The top three, in order, are Adolph Hitler, Osama Bin Laden, and Charles Manson. Numbers four and five are George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.
Standing ovation!
And here I thought public schools in Arkansas were supposed to be the nation's worst??? This gives me hope for the next generation!
Superintendent Randall Williams calls the list "an oversight." Parents caught it after the yearbooks were printed. The district's solution was to cover the list with tape. It didn't work.
Superintendent Williams says the yearbook editing process is under review. I'll bet it is!
Let freedom reign!

Staff Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford (Ret.) was shot seven times when gunfire rang out at Ft. Hood in 2009. And on Thursday morning in the wake of the latest tragedy on the base, he offered a solution to protecting military members on bases that's sure to rile the anti-gun crowd: arm the soldiers.
"I am extremely angry," he said on "Fox and Friends." He went on to criticize the government for giving people "what they wanted to hear" instead of fixing the issue.
"We are trained to be able to operate these weapons and make good decisions with the weapons. As I stated before, guns don't kill people, people kill people," he explained. "But if you are allowed to carry the weapons on the base, that's a deterrent. Even if you have a terrorist that's going to try to do something against our country they won't do it because they know what the end result will be. Or if you have a disgruntled person, they won't do it because they know what the end result will be."
He also went on to say that the process for soldiers with PTSD needs to be assessed, since those who go in for help don't immediately get it.
Early Thursday morning, former CNN host Piers Morgan tweeted that the argument for arming more people with guns to stop such attacks is "such crap."
If you're interested in diving deeper into Lunsford's account of what happened in 2009, you can view TheBlaze TV's special For the Record episode on that attack for free and read up on him here.

Re: Table drawing error on PDF
On html, the tables now don't use al the width, leaving so many empty space, if i use a larger % the table has a lot of empty caratters
PDF result of relative width
On the PDF some tables are glued to the right margin, i tryied different % but no success.
Narrow HTML: narrow table
On html the same table (using 30% relative width) changes correctly her width (leaving 70% of the width free for nothing, not nice but if this is the price for good PDF, I take it)
Re: Table drawing error on PDF
At the end I'm disapointed:
I don't think that my request is out of bound: I want to write the doc's only one time and have a good html and PDF result.
This means for me:
all the text of the table is readable in every format and width of the page
the table position is ordened
I understand that html showed on widescreen and a PDF A4 vertical page are very very different media, but i nedd both of them.
The first for the online user manual, the second for the ISO stuff.

* Prices may differ from that shown
What happens when three friends had planned to go on a three week holiday together, with their kids and no husbands - and one drops out..?
Imogen (organized, domestic goddess) with her three little darlings, Sophie (her friend from boarding school, bit dizty but friendly) with her two girls where supposed to spend three weeks in a rented house in Cornwall with their friend Caroline, but when Caroline drops out at the last minute and GP single parent Jo (friend of Sophie, never met by Imogen) and her son step in, the resulting tentions are both heart-pulling and funny. And very realistic.
With daggers drawn over 'chore duties', parenting types and good-old manners, it very quickly draws the reader into the mess, and seeing it from all sides, it really does show the blemishs in everyone character.
And when an attractive Surfing Teacher is added to the mix, jealousy spices things up even more
All the characters are all very realistic, and I'm sure most of us know people like the women is this story, and if really honest, can identify the flaws in Imogen, Sophie and Jo in ourselves. I know I did.
Imogen, who organised the holiday, is frighteningly capable and a bit of a control freak. With three children who are at the centre of her world, she's determined that this holiday will be perfect. But is Imogen's tidy life quite as happy as it seems?
Sophie is Imogen's oldest friend, dating back to the days when they would chat long after lights out at their Home Counties boarding school. Sophie knows she should be feeding her offspring organic cous-cous, but they love McDonalds' apple pies too much - and where's the harm in that? But is there more to Sophie than dogged loyalty to her rather overbearing old mate?
And then there's Jo, an acquaintance of Sophie's roped in at the last minute when the first choice of housemate pulled out. An East London GP and single mother, and very easy going with her son, she appears to be the polar opposite to Imogen. A group holiday seemed such a good idea back in January ...
This was my first Annie Sanders book but it definitely won't be my last. In fact I have another two of their novels to read - Goodbye, Jimmy Choo & Busy Woman Seeks Wife.
It always interests me how two authors can write one book - I always want to know who writes which chapters/characters. However you can't tell because the story flows effortlessly!
I really enjoyed Warnings of Gales and thought it was really well written. You always hear of people going on holiday together so it's an interesting topic. Not only that but all three characters were so different it made the book difficult to put down.
I found Imogen both irritating and likeable at the same time. At times she - as Jo thought - seemed to muscle in on everything but she had everyone's best interests at heart really. Sophie seemed the most laidback of the three women, and felt she was the referee most of the time between Jo and Imogen. Jo was my favourite character and thought she was really great. She was independent but showed her vulnerable side when Finn went missing.
Finn was my favourite of the children and the most prominent. I was really interested in what Jo was hiding about Finn's dad.
Of the men I like Hugh and Matt but couldn't stand Guy. He was so willing to shove his children in boarding school without a second glance just so it furthered his career. He came across very selfish and even a bit racist about Finn. I was glad Imogen changed her mind about Jakarta - I knew she would!
I really enjoyed how the chapters of the novel were days of the holiday and enjoyed the easy way the book was written. I also liked the nod to Imogen's weather-obsession with each chapter starting with the days forecast, that was a nice touch.
I really enjoyed the book and can't wait to read more from Annie & Meg!
First reviewed at http://chicklitreviews.wordpress.com
Warnings of Gales is a novel by Annie Sanders. Annie Sanders is not an actual person but is in fact 2 people, Meg Sanders and Annie Ashworth. They are 2 consumer journalists who have written 10 non-fiction books between them and this is their second novel, the first was called Goodbye, Jimmy Choo.
This is the story of 3 women who rent a holiday home in Cornwall for the summer. Add to that their children of various ages, occasional visits from husbands, emotional baggage, great expectations and the Great British summer weather, well its a recipe for disaster or is it??
This book was lent to me by a friend who weve holidayed with before but only for a few days at a time, was she trying to tell me something?
There are 3 main characters in the book. Imogen is the organised one, she has chosen the holiday venue, organised an itinerary of places to go and activities for the children not to mention menu plans and enough food to feed the five thousand. She has 3 children whom she adores and organises her life around them not leaving much time for herself. She is determined this holiday will be perfect especially as after the summer the whole family is planning to move to Hong Kong with her husbands work taking the children away from all their friends and schools.
Sophie is Imogens old friend from boarding school days. She has 2 girls but her style of childcare is much more laid back than Imogens. Sophie doesnt get flustered, she doesnt really plan things but just goes with the flow.
Then there is Jo who steps into the holiday after another friend drops out at the last minute. She is a friend of Sophies and has never met Imogene (if she had she probably wouldnt have agreed to come on holiday with them). Jo is a GP and single mother to Finn. Jo likes to do her own thing, she is very laid back (much to Imogens disgust), just wants to relax and she cant cook and doesnt tidy up after herself. Her style of child rearing is very laid back, her son stays up really late and often calls her Jo rather than mum.
Three women with very different backgrounds and personalities cooped up in one house for the summer unsurprisingly results in a few arguments, some laughs, tears and some life-changing decisions. Add in a little romantic spice courtesy of the hunky surf instructor Matt and this is a great book to read on your holidays providing you havent gone with two of your friends!
The book has all you need for a good light read there are funny bits, a few dramas, some romance. The characters are all good fun and you get to know them and understand their little ways. You can identify with them, you feel Jos stress when her son goes missing and Imogens worries about moving to Hong Kong. This is a light-hearted read if you are looking for in-depth character analyses and complicated plot-lines then this isnt for you. I think this would make a great summer holiday read for those of you who like a little light-hearted harmless read for fun.

went to Dodge City on horseback. Had good company, for I struck up with Charley Shiner who was headed for the same point. I think I can truthfully say we were never out of sight of a herd of cattle from there to Dodge City. Arriving at Dodge City I delivered the proceeds of the cattle to Miller & Green and after resting up I was sent back down the trail by Col. John Dewees on some business that carried me almost to the Washita. As I started back to Dodge City I was again fortunate in having good company and more of it, this time coming up with Green Mills and. Zeke Hilliard of Lockhart, and. A. B. McQueen of Winston county, Miss. It was a pleasure to travel with such good men.
In 1880 I made my last trip over the trail, this time f or myself, but in 1884 my two younger brothers, T. H. Ellison and R. R. Ellison, J. T. Block and myself sent a herd from Presidio county in the Big bend country in charge of the late Nat Jackman, who was a brother to W. T. Jackman. I met these cattle up there and delivered them to the Durbin Land & Cattle Co. on Sweetwater, about 150 miles north of Cheyenne, and had to throw them all down and brand them, some four or five thousand head.
I believe this winds up my trail experience. There is a warm place in my heart for all of the old cowmen and trail boys. The men who bought the cattle and paid me to drive them are nearly all gone now; many of my comrades who worked with me on the trail have also passed on, and the balance of us are on the shady side of lif e. Like the cowboy who, when asked why he had cut a certain cow back, reared in his stirrups and said " She is too ancient, " we, too, are getting " ancient. " Trail driving is but a memory now, and will never return. When the summons comes for our last trip let us be ready to go. My postoffice address is Fort Cobb, Oklahoma., and I would be pleased to hear from any of the old boys who would care to write to me.

Stinson Claims 1st Leg of OVSCA Sprint Speed weekend
Tyler Carpenter Captures AMRA Late Models
Bond Blasts AMRA Mods/Adkins Aces 4 Cylinders
STEWART, OHIO-Vandalia, Ohio's Jimmy Stinson aboard the B&J Welding/Contracting #22 led from green-to-checkered to kick off the first leg of the Ohio Valley Sprint Car Association (OVSCA) Super Sprint Weekend Friday night at Billy Jarrell's Skyline Speedway. The tour continues Saturday night at the Ohio Valley Speedway and concludes Sunday, July 3 at I-77 Raceway in Fairplain, WV. Another good crowd greeted the 113 cars that filled the pits.
Tyler Carpenter also posted a flag-to-flag win in the AMRA Late Models, Andy Bond grabbed the AMRA modified main, Tommy Adkins took the Four Cylinders, and Coyle Mayle again claimed the Mike's Auto Body Mini-Wedges.
As a result of picking up the first heat win with a late pass over Aaron Higgins, Stinson started on the pole and never looked back in the 25-lap campaign. "Fine Wine" Dave Dickson aboard the Doug Abbott mount came on strong at the finish to taunt Stinson, while youngster Kory Crabtree anchored down third place.
Last week's winner Josh Davis brought home fourth ahead of Mitchel Harble, Aaron Higgins, Brian Benson, Mark Imler, Chris Myers, and Wes McGlumphy. Heat wins went to Stinson and Crabtree while Higgins set fast time.
In the late model main a new face hit victory lane for his first Skyline feature win. Young Tyler Carpenter became the third member of the racing Carpenter's to claim a super Late Model win in holding off Beckley, WV challenger Rick Williams. The win broke Chris Garnes' win streak at three.
Garnes brought home third ahead of Freddie Carpenter, Ralph Withem, Larry Bond, Colten Burdette, Dan Morrison, Travis Brookover, and Jeff Burdette who rounded out the top ten.
One of the most competitive races of the night was the AMRA modified main. Andy Bond took the lead from Kenny Johnson on lap nine, then held off late race charges from the rampaging J.P. Roberts. Roberts stormed from 10th to second, but ran out of time, fending off defending champion Kenny Johnson.
Posting another great run was Derrick Smith and Rick Venham, who burst into the top five. Sixth through tenth were Vince Conrad, Roy Roush, Jason Brooks, Robert Garnes, and B-main winner Jeremy Jarvis up from 17th.
Same result/different night. In the Four Cylinder main, Tommy Adkins burst into the early lead and never looked back. The invading Strickland boys were not enough for the flying Portland, OH ace. Finishing in second was Mike Strickland, followed by Chris Strickland, George Klintworth, Jeff Rankin, Barry Kitts, John Rankin, Brad Stone, Cody Heiss, and Steve Brown.
Young Cole Mayle grabbed the mini-wedge main for the fifth time this season . Behind Mayle were Jason Gillian, Colten Perine, Corey Delancey, Tyler Evans, Skylar Zimmerman, Corey Miller, Samantha Roush, Cale Stinson, and Kasey Rankin.
Skyline continues action next Friday, July 8 with a full racing program.

This script is Copyright (C) 2013-2017 Tenable Network Security, Inc.
Synopsis :
The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.
Description :
Updated nss-pam-ldapd packages that fix one security issue are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having
important security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System
(CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is
available from the CVE link in the References section.
The nss-pam-ldapd packages provide the nss-pam-ldapd daemon (nslcd),
which uses a directory server to lookup name service information on
behalf of a lightweight nsswitch module.
An array index error, leading to a stack-based buffer overflow flaw,
was found in the way nss-pam-ldapd managed open file descriptors. An
attacker able to make a process have a large number of open file
descriptors and perform name lookups could use this flaw to cause the
process to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running the process. (CVE-2013-0288)
Red Hat would like to thank Garth Mollett for reporting this issue.
All users of nss-pam-ldapd are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which contain a backported patch to fix this issue.

[ad here]
This is my Top made from the Bittersweet Kit. I still need to add borders, which I decided I am going to change. There will be two borders and the fabric will be from the bittersweet Line.
Very nice!
Pat, can't wait to see what you do with your borders. Good job on the quilt top!
It looks gorgeous Pat.
Looks good even without the border.
Very pretty, Pat. Love the colors.

The best restaurants often have dishes that miss, and sometimes average places cook up just one plate deserving genuflection. Thus I get more excited about a great dish than a great restaurant, as this strips away most of the restaurant culture and distills dining back down to eating.
So I'd love to hear opinions on the best dish in the city.
My vote? I would have said the mushroom rissotto at Lespinasse in 97 before the changeover. In Philadelphia, if anyone cares, its the spinach gnocchi with smoked ricotta at Vetri. Now, in NY, I don't know. Maybe the sashimi salad at Nobu?
Enlighten me, please.

Germany's chancellor told Israel's prime minister on Thursday that overcoming the stalemate in the Middle East peace process "is more urgent than ever" given the current regional turmoil.
Talks have to resume and progress must be made to ensure the viable and peaceful coexistence of Israel and a future Palestinian state, Angela Merkel said after meeting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu said his government is determined to "re-engage, renew the negotiations" with the Palestinians, but cannot make concessions on the country's security.
"Our security requirements are fundamental ... for the achievement of peace, but they're particularly important now in this uncertain period that we're going through," he said.
Netanyahu said is was far from certain how the upheaval in the Arab world would play out - but Israel hopes it will "move toward progress, modernity and democracy, and not toward medievalism and theocracy."
"We can't be sure because we don't know if this is a 1989 change in Europe or the 1979 revolution in Iran," he said. "We hope that is the first and not the second."
Merkel, however, stressed that the stalemate in the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations has to be overcome as the political landscape in the region rapidly changes.
"I believe that progress in the Mideast peace process is urgent amid the many upheavals in the region. I would say: more urgent than ever," the chancellor said.
Israeli officials on Wednesday expressed concern that Germany, France and Britain will push later this month for the "Quartet" of Mideast peacemakers - the European Union, the United Nations, Russia and the United States - to endorse the principle of a future Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders, which would include virtually all of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem.
But, asked about that, Merkel did not mention the pre-1967 borders.
"The goal is important. We need a two state solution with border security and mutual recognition of borders," she said, stressing that the Quartet has an important role to play in the peace process.
Just minutes after the news conference, a Palestinian anti-tank missile struck a school bus in southern Israel, wounding two people, one critically.
The Palestinians have said they won't resume talks with the hardline Netanyahu unless there's a clear framework and Israel halts all settlement construction in Israeli-occupied lands they want for their state.
Netanyahu argues that spelling out the end point would limit Israel's negotiating room and that endorsing Palestinian positions on borders would remove a key incentive for them to restart talks.
Israel captured the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem in the 1967 Mideast war. Netanyahu has said he would not give up east Jerusalem, the Palestinians' hoped-for capital, and has not said how much of the West Bank he is prepared to give up.
Britain's foreign secretary, William Hague, said this week that Britain, France and Germany believe negotiations should be based on "1967 borders, with land swaps, a just settlement for refugees and Jerusalem as the shared capital of both states."
Netanyahu and Merkel also stressed the importance of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, and Merkel condemned Tehran's oppression of pro-democracy advocates.
"Iran saw the first pro-democracy movement (in the region) and it was brutally oppressed, we also have to recall that," she said.
After leaving Berlin, Netanyahu was to hold talks later Thursday in Prague with Czech Prime Minister Petr Necas.
Geir Moulson in Berlin contributed to this report.

Hector and Victor have a new favorite pastime these days. I mean, yes, we still enjoy the glasses of whiskey by the fire as we reminisce over simpler days of one celebrity per birth name. But our current favorite pastime is Word Sandwich. We have no idea where it came from, or who invented it, but it's been hours of endless fun, as we try to give our brains a rest from the onslaught of Adrian Peterson, Anthony Gonzalez, and Feely/Feeley conundrums which constantly eat away at our gray matter.
Will this maddening name game ever end? Perhaps. But for now, we're reminded of our old friend, Don Music, who would regularly smash his head against the piano when he had trouble composing his songs. The only thing stopping us from doing this -- besides Word Sandwich, of course -- is the fact that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The most confusing situations we can see emerging over the next few weeks would include:
1. Mike Williams being activated for the Titans and joining Roydell Williams in the box score.
2. Sinorice Moss being released by the Giants and immediately picked up by the Patriots, joining Randy Moss in the receiving corps.
3. Marshall Faulk un-retiring and also being signed by the Patriots, giving them both Kevin and Marshall in their backfield.
4. Golden State's Stephen Jackson deciding he wants to play fullback, joining the Rams on a one-year deal, and creating running lanes for Steven Jackson.
5. And -- probably least likely -- both McCown brothers taking over starting roles and playing just well enough to merit another week of starti- what? They did?? Seriously?
[Hector bangs head on piano, conveniently located next to his desk]
[Victor quietly pulls down "Word Sandwich" bookmark]
[Adam Monroe fails to release Shanti virus]
We might as well begin with the brothers McCown. Hector and Victor have composed this handy reference guide for our readers. Simply print this page, cut out the profiles, hold it close to your heart, make a wish, and carry it with you everywhere you go. Nothing will most likely happen, besides a few weeks of fantasy frustration, but you never know when a handy trivia bit about a McCown may come in handy (it is, after all, how Victor met his wife).
Victor: Um, that was Cade McNown trivia
Hector: Damn!
The brothers McCown
(not to be confused with the Dostovevsky novel)
(or Cade McNown)
Age: 26
Has played for: Cleveland, Tampa Bay
Week 13: 29-37, 313 yards, 2 TD; 2 rushes, 34 yards
Older veteran who was injured and thus opened up a spot: Jeff Garcia
The alternative to this McCown: Bruce Gradkowski
Shortest interview ever:
How to defeat him: Enter Jeff Gruden's dreams, suggest that Gradkowski is really the Fountain of Youth in human form, show proof by pointing out laughably loose interpretations of da Vinci paintings.
Age: 28
Has played for: Arizona, Detroit, Oakland
Week 13: 14-21, 141 yards, 3 TD; 4 rushes, 22 yards
Older veteran who was injured and thus opened up a spot: Daunte Culpepper
The alternative to this McCown: JaMarcus Russell
Mike Williams was that bad? In 2006, McCown passed Corey Bradford and Mike Williams on the depth chart as the third WR in Detroit.
How to defeat him: Time. Russell has already taken snaps (a la Kerry Collins and Vince Young in 2006; in a week, it could Russell's show).
For whatever reason, the more we try to separate the two, the more intertwined they become. It may end up being an impossible task at the end of the day, but we are here to help, not hurt, so we must ask: McCown boys, Are You For Real?
Hector: Isn't it rich? Aren't they a pair? Send in McCowns. You need some McCowns. Don't bother, they're here. Look, I'm all for giving a guy a chance, and these two both have earned the right to call themselves NFL quarterbacks. But backups at best they are. Josh is just holding down the fort for JaMarcus; and Luke, I may not be your father, but Jeff Garcia's your daddy. Capice?
Victor: That would be no and no. If you're still playing by next week, you're probably in the playoffs. And if you're that hard up for a QB (hey, random injuries do tend to happen, and waiver wires could be thin) I'd rather take my chances with JaMarcus Russell than either of the brothers McCown. If you have to go with one, go with Luke, since his job seems a wee bit more secure than Josh's.
In one short year, Redman has gone from "out of football" to "QB of the Austin Wranglers (on paper)" to "starting NFL quarterback." It would normally be one of those beautiful stories that ESPN highlights during a "SportsCenter," save for one tiny problem:
We're all too familiar with Chris Redman.
Fantasy players will remember Redman as the guy who couldn't hold off Kyle Boller during his years behind center in Baltimore. In fact, we'd wager that 70 percent of you reading this column believe Redman to still be a Raven; the two went hand in hand for so long (like Najeh Davenport and the Packers), that envisioning Redman in any uniform besides Baltimore's takes some getting used to.
But he is a Falcon now, brought in by his old college coach, Bobby Petrino, and Petrino leaned on Redman as a replacement for a historically ineffective Joey Harrington in Week 13. He was 16-for-24, with 172 yards, two touchdowns, and -- in the end -- one very costly interception. But this was all in the fourth quarter. So, on one side, we have Harrington, on the other, we have Redman and his old college coach, with a furious fourth-quarter comeback fresh in our memories. Which leads us to ask, Chris Redman, are you for real?
Hector: I've always preferred Method Man to Redman myself, but Chris may in fact be all the Falcons need to get by. He's no Michael Vick (not nearly gangsta enough!) but he certainly has more upside than piano aficionado Harrington. Comedian Eddie Izzard has a joke about going to his high school guidance counselor who asked him what he wanted to do for a career. He said he wanted to be an astronaut. The reply? You're British, scale it back a bit. Same goes for Falcons fans. The sky is definitely far higher than the limit. Enjoy your Chris Redman-level players. He's as real as you're going to get.
Victor: Wu-Tang reference! And an Eddie Izzard quote! Hector, I find this meatloaf rather shallow and pedantic. I can't see how this could be a major step back for the Falcons; at the very least, Redman knows Petrino's offensive schemes, and the coach did bring him in as a backup QB. I don't really know why it took so long to bring him into the rotation as Atlanta QB, but now that he's here, I'd say he's real enough to stick it out for the rest of the season.
With Marshawn Lynch and Anthony Thomas both out nursing injuries, the eyes of Orchard Park turned to Fred Jackson this past week, as Dick Jauron eschewed the rookie, Dwayne Wright, for the even more-unknown 2006 practice squadder. So what do we know about this enigmatic runner?
Well, he's not Green Bay running back Brandon Jackson. Nor is he Jacksonville RB Fred Taylor. He didn't play in the AFL, but he did participate in the United Indoor Football League, where he played two seasons with the Sioux City Bandits, and was named league co-MVP in 2005. He played for NFL Europa in 2006, and is a graduate of Coe College, a school that holds the distinction of having the shortest name of any American institution of higher education.
What else do we know about Fred Jackson? Well uh this:
Week 13: 16 rushes, 82 yards; four receptions, 69 yards.
and that's about it. So, Fred, even though you've managed to slip through undetected, and you've beaten my giant (which means you're exceptionally strong) we still must ask: Are You for Real?
Hector: He's not real. Let's pretend for a minute that Marshawn Lynch was not coming back. He rushed for only 60 yards on 15 carries. (We're choosing to ignore the 22-yard scamper against the symbolic 10-man defense the Skins mounted on the opening play.) That's nice, but nothing special. Sure, the receptions help, but again, the only body of evidence we have to work with is a game against a defense in mourning, and a coach who has no grasp of how football works in 2007. Now, would I take a chance on him over a Samkon Gado? In a heartbeat. But I'm not cutting loose a Frank Gore or a Shaun Alexander and hoping Fred keeps me from the playoff junkyard. Not today.
Victor: Ehhhhhhhh. I'm not sure which way to lean on this one. If Lynch looks good to go, forget you've ever heard the name Fred Jackson. But if Lynch is going to be sitting out the rest of the season? I say why not. Yes, the stats were a bit padded by that run, but he still had 69 yards receiving, which translates into fantasy points in pretty much all leagues. It's hidden value (unless you search by "Last Week"), and that's what makes him annoyingly valuable to a team looking for a quick patch job for the loss of a Roy Williams-type this late in the season.

Girl Scouts Junior Troop 10043, ages 10 and 11, earned their Bronze Service Award May 3 by hosting a free Spring Fever Family Fun Day for local lower-income families at the CNY Family Sports Centre.
The troop worked together with P.E.A.C.E, Inc. and the Baldwinsville Community Food Pantry to connect with families who could benefit from the event. The girls spent many weeks building games, fundraising, donation seeking, doing door-to-door food drives in three generous Baldwinsville neighborhoods and working out the details of the event.
Their efforts resulted in a fantastic venue, supplies for the event, fantastic prizes and event a free food pantry. More than 100 guests turned out for the event, with an additional 43 volunteers to help with the registration, games, food service, prize station, security, food pantry area, set up and clean up on the day of the event. Among the volunteers was Girl Scouts Cadette Troop 10572 to celebrate the day.
Families spent the day playing free games with carnival-style prizes, plus a booth where kids could collect larger prizes for playing at least 10 games. There were relay races, sand art, face tattoos, dancing to the DJ Twins, portraits by Mike Carter and a jump rope competition. In addition, everyone received raffle tickets to win large-ticket items at the end of the event. There was also a free concession stand for food and drinks, and thanks to the food drives, there was even a generous supply of groceries available for families to pack up and take home with them at the end of the day.
The girls were thrilled to provide a day of fun for kids and their families, where they could do anything they wanted, as often and they wanted, and not have to think about a cost. And on top of that, to be able to help stock their pantries at home was a wonderful bonus.

In a recent survey of Ceridian's clients, entrepreneurs and small business owners identified cash flow as one of their greatest concerns.
On top of all the demands of running a small business, you must ensure you have enough money to cover your expenses in a timely manner.
These Top Five Cash Flow Tips may be just the insight you need:
1. Invoice Quickly
It's inevitable that some customers will take more time than expected to pay, but by invoicing as quickly as possible, that process can be significantly shortened. Prompt revenues make cash flow easier.
2. Offer a Variety of Payment Options
When customers can pay in person, over the phone, or online, it's less of a hassle for them to find the time. The easier it is for them to pay you, the faster they're likely to do so and the smoother your cash flow will be.
3. Use a Small Business Payroll Solution
Finding an efficient and effective way to run your payroll is critical to a smooth cash flow. The right solution can help you ensure your employees are paid accurately and on time. You can even invest your time and cost savings in monitoring cash flow. A small business payroll solution can also help you with the final two tips:
4. Keep employee records up-to-date
Employee records are your window to your workforce. When you know exactly who is working for you and their usual hours, you can better predict your ongoing labour costs. Ensuring these records are accurate enables you to more confidently predict these expenses and manage your cash flow accordingly.
5. Automate Tax Filing Services
Just figuring out what's taxable and what isn't can be a hassle. By automating your tax filing services, you not only get it right, but you also ensure the money is taken out each pay period. You won't get surprised by a big tax bill at the end of the quarter or year, making cash flow smoother.

What Not To Say To Parents Of Twins
"Did you do IVF?"
"You had a C-section, right?"
"Are they natural?"
Questions that may seem odd—even offensive — to some new mothers. Unless you are the mother of twins. Then you're used to them.
The "babyrazzi" can be relentless, and the appearance of multiples in public can create an instantaneous barrage of questions. Earlier this year, I was in line at the Mothers of Twins sale (a huge biannual event in Winchester that is akin to the running of the bulls) comparing notes with other moms. Some of the more seasoned moms were used to the forward questioning, while the rest of us were still adjusting to the public's keen interest in our multiples and our pregnancies.
Here's my favorite. Upon seeing my boy and girl twins, "Are they identical?"
So when the hilarious cartoon above appeared in my Facebook feed on Mother's Day, I didn't mind the peering grandmothers at Costco later that afternoon. It captures just about every inquiry I've ever received and somehow it was validating to know that I'm not alone. I must say, all in all it's a pretty special club.
Readers, any other cringe-worthy twin questions or comments you'd like to share?
