Lady Dogs shut out of playoffs
FRANKLIN—Getting shut out by one of the top Class A teams in the state is not exactly how one would like to end their high school softball career but that was the case for Thorndale's four senior players in their 6-0 loss to No. 2 Mart last Wednesday in the regional quarterfinals.
Mart pitcher Mikel Ann Caddell and Thorndale ace Angel Bigan battled for two innings, but defensive errors on the Lady Dogs behalf broke the game open for Mart (23-2).
"It was two pretty good pitchers going at it and whoever gets hits catches a break," Thorndale Coach Lance Betak said. "We could never break through (with hits) and had an uphill battle to climb all night."
Behind Caddell, Mart held the 19-9 Lady Dogs to just two hits through seven innings. Caddell struck out nine Thorndale players.
Bigan just managed four Ks in three innings of work. Sophomore Kim Leschber took the mound in the top of the fourth and struck out two in four innings of work.
Combined they gave up five hits to the Lady Panthers. Both teams stranded four base runners a piece.
Mart scored four runs in the top of the third after a walk, single by Caddell and base-clearing double by Lexxi Davenport.
In the top of the fifth, Davenport ripped an inside fastball from Leschber straight over the centerfield wall for a solo home run and the Lady Panthers fifth run. Three straight hits by Mart in the top of the seventh would lead to their sixth and final run.
The Lady Dogs' two lone hits came from sophomore Shelby Stolte in the fifth and senior Rainey Simank to lead off the seventh.
The defeat leaves the Lady Dogs with big shoes to fill with the loss of pitcher Angel Bigan, catcher Samantha Vasquez, first baseman Lauren Hairston and designated player Rainey Simank, all seniors and all starters.
"Our four seniors have been a big part the last four years and will be hard to replace," Lady Dogs head coach Lance Betak said. "They have played a big part in the success of the softball program."
Thor nda le won its second straight district title and its fourth consecutive trip to the postseason in 2009.
Since their game with Thorndale, Mart has knocked Charlotte out of the postseason and will face Iola in the Region IV-A finals this weekend.
Iola knocked off top ranked and defending state champion Shiner in the regional quarterfinals.
First game of that series is 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Texas A&M Softball Complex with game two set for 1 p.m. Saturday at MCC Highlassies Field in Waco.
Game three, if necessary, will be played following the conclusion of game two. The winner will advance to the UIL State Softball Tournament June 4-6 in Austin.
Mart 6, Thorndale 0 Mart 004 000 2—6 Thorndale 000 000 0—0
W-Caddell. L-Bigan. HR: Davenport (M). 2B: Davenport (M)


text: Okay. I just recently bought an SCT X3 from BAPracing with intentions of using it on my '95 Cobra. Now apparently, this tuner (according to the instructions and such) is NOT programmed for use with Mustangs earlier than '96 (except for '95-'95 V-6, go figure). Can I at least use this thing to upload preprogrammed tunes to the Cobra? I already have the SCT 4-bank chip in that car. Will I have to remove it? I decided to see if I could play with it a little on my '02 GT, but when I went to the custom tune menu it kept saying "see dealer locater at sctflash.com". Never had a handheld tuner before, so I'm having a tough time figuring this thing out. :-/ My main question here is as stated above: can I at least use this thing to upload tunes to the Cobra, and if so, does this require removal of the 4-bank chip I already have installed?

Report: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate doesn't do split screen or Wii U tablet + Pro Controller
With Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate being able to do cross-platform play between 3DS and Wii U, there are bound to be questions that pop up. The official Capcom PR statement about the game says that players can play alone, online with up to for players on the Wii U, locally using up to four Nintendo 3DS systems, or a combination of up to three Nintendo 3DS systems and one Wii U system. So, I went ahead and asked Capcom's Senior PR Manager, Jason Anderson, a few questions that everyone might be wondering already.
I asked the following: "I was wondering if you could clarify something for me. Can players do split screen (4-players) on the TV while playing on Wii U? Can one player be using the Wii U controller while another uses a pro controller? What about two or three pro controllers?"
::Update:: To clarify, in addition to the options mentioned above, The following control options are available for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on the Wii U:
1) Wii U gamepad
2) Wii U Controller Pro
3) Wii Classic Controller (Pro) connected to a Wii remote
Options 2 and 3 also display info on the GamePad touch screen, if the user chooses to play using either of those set-ups.
He got back to me today, saying that the team told him "no" on all accounts. So, unfortunately they weren't able to implement everything we fans could want, but know that these things take extra time; they have to not only program to allow those options, but they have to alter the character models so the system can handle multiple games running at the same time. This is the first time that the Monster Hunter series is making its way to 3DS and Wii U, so we can't expect everything from the get-go. The Uncharted series (all on the PS3 system) didn't get two-player split screen until its third iteration. If you fans want these options put into the Monster Hunter series in the future, the most beneficial thing you can do is head on over to their forums to request them (in a polite manner, mind you).
It's not all downhill, though. The Monster Hunter series is launching a new title in North America on March 19th, 2013 (March 22nd in Europe), on new systems, and there's cross-platform play–a very rare thing, indeed. Capcom is also promising that this will be the most expansive iteration of the game, to date. The Wii U version of the game will have online chat functionality, and both the 3DS and Wii U version will be available to conveniently be downloaded when they're released.
If you want a sneak peek of the game, a demo will be made available for both platforms on February 21st. It's time to once again take up your sword, weary warrior. There's monsters about.

well we are 2 members strong LOL
Pic of the LIM ED
Haven't had much of a chance to do some quality photos . Here is the most recent ones I snapped yesterday. Hopefully I will get some quality ones up soon. Went to the MCA show in Springfield IL as a spectator yesterday. No time to put mine in. Great show though.

Dude, you stole my car........................
Holy crap!! Dude ...you stole my car. Awesome pics!
I guess great minds think alike.............
brake calipers
I have a Silver Auto Coupe. Car #138
Just wondering if anyone's car came with black calipers? I bought mine right of the truck and i am the first owner. I have not yet found one car with painted calipers from the factory.
Cant say ive heard of that. I had mine come with a cobra stearing wheel. So i guess they mix up little things on the 35ths.
My God Sandy,
I thought My 99 Black GT Convertible Anniv Car was really nice, but your car is just jaw-dropping! That's the BEST 99 I've ever seen, and I don't even like Silver!
Unbelievably awesome car!
I bought mine new in 1999. I've added a BBK CAI, Steeda underdrive pulleys, 18" black FR500 wheels, King Cobra clutch and an Accufab throttle body/plenum combo. I also removed the cats and install a MAC exhaust. Next up is a tranny upgrade, fidanza flywheel, FRPP ceramic headers. steeda TRI-ax shifter and a upr tubular k-member. I'm still not sure which to use yet a supercharger or turbo. I added the stripe on the doors because I thought it looked too plain.
Here it is:
Put to rest for the winter
Had to put mine up for the winter. Sad day.
No winter here in florida!!!!!
Id love to live in Forida. Come to Illinois in about January, it's hell on earth. Some days it wont get above single digit degrees for the high.
Heres a picture I took the other day, car is starting to look more like a Bullitt and less like a Limited.
I think I like it without the wing...I'm not sure?!?! Looks great either way.
Oh yeah, no hurricanes in Illinois!!
lol hurricanes SUCK! Wingless looks great on your car. BUT after looking at the other pics....i like it on too adds alittle style to it.
here is mine, i'm from Mexico hi everybody (got it on 12-07-07)
from there only mods are M/T drag radials smoked headlight and Mach 1 grille delete and chin spoiler,, (pics coming soon)
Nice. Glad to see you found one in seemingly good condition. Whats the mileage?
I will not be able to give you your number according to VIN right now, I have misplaced the disk which has all of them. Sorry.
right now it has 149XXX but it feels strong, the only missfunctions it has are heater core leak a little exhaust leak (headers to fix it) and needs new gears, it whines a little so 4.10s will come, buut i want to take it to the track as it is bone stock to see how it develops
i wanted a daily driver so my H/C/I Fox wasn't the nicest ride so i turn my eyes to a New Edge and i had the luck to find this one
Wow 150K, almost double what mine has. How much did you buy it for if you don't mind me asking?

|All every day activities take place in space. And it is upon this that all information and knowledge revolve. The latter are the key elements in the organisation of territories. Their creation, use and distribution should therefore occur in a balanced way throughout the whole territory in order to allow all individuals to participate in an egalitarian society, in which the flow of knowledge can take precedence over the flow of interests. The information society depends, to a large extent, on the technological capacity to disseminate information and, consequently, the knowledge throughout territory, thereby creating conditions which allow a more balanced development, from the both the social and economic points of view thus avoiding the existence of info-exclusion territories. Internet should therefore be considered more than a mere technology, given that its importance goes well beyond the frontiers of culture and society. It is already a part of daily life and of the new forms of thinking and transmitting information, thus making it a basic necessity essential, for a full socio-economic development. Its role as a platform of creation and distribution of content is regarded as an indispensable element for education in today's society, since it makes information a much more easily acquired benefit."…in the same way that the new technologies of generation and distribution of energy allowed factories and large companies to establish themselves as the organisational bases of industrial society, so the internet today constitutes the technological base of the organisational form that characterises the Information Era: the network" (CASTELLS, 2004:15). The changes taking place today in regional and urban structures are increasingly more evident due to a combination of factors such as faster means of transport, more efficient telecommunications and other cheaper and more advanced technologies of information and knowledge. Although their impact on society is obvious, society itself also has a strong influence on the evolution of these technologies. And although physical distance has lost much of the responsibility it had towards explaining particular phenomena of the economy and of society, other aspects such as telecommunications, new forms of mobility, the networks of innovation, the internet, cyberspace, etc., have become more important, and are the subject of study and profound analysis. The science of geographical information, allows, in a much more rigorous way, the analysis of problems thus integrating in a much more balanced way, the concepts of place, of space and of time. Among the traditional disciplines that have already found their place in this process of research and analysis, we can give special attention to a geography of new spaces, which, while not being a geography of 'innovation', nor of the 'Internet', nor even 'virtual', which can be defined as one of the 'Information Society', encompassing not only the technological aspects but also including a socio-economic approach. According to the last European statistical data, Portugal shows a deficit in terms of information and knowledge dissemination among its European partners. Some of the causes are very well identified - low levels of scholarship, weak investments on innovation and R&D (both private and public sector) - but others seem to be hidden behind socio-economical and technological factors. So, the justification of Portugal as the case study appeared naturally, on a difficult quest to find the major causes to territorial asymmetries. The substantial amount of data needed for this work was very difficult to obtain and for the islands of Madeira and Azores was insufficient, so only Continental Portugal was considered for this study. In an effort to understand the various aspects of the Geography of the Information Society and bearing in mind the increasing generalised use of information technologies together with the range of technologies available for the dissemination of information, it is important to: (i) Reflect on the geography of the new socio-technological spaces. (ii) Evaluate the potential for the dissemination of information and knowledge through the selection of variables that allow us to determine the dynamic of a given territory or region; (iii) Define a Geography of the Information Society in Continental Portugal.

Many outraged over janitors' overtime
April 8, 2009
WATERBURY, CT — Many members of the Waterbury Board of Education are outraged and curious about how some Waterbury Public Schools'' custodians more than doubled their salaries by putting in upwards of 2,000 hours of overtime last year, according to the Republican-American.
Thirty-two custodial and maintenance staff put in for more than 500 hours of overtime in the past year, the story stated.
According to records released by the school, John Laforme, a custodial supervisor at Rotella Interdistrict Magnet School, made $82,161.04 last year, of which $51,296.48 was paid for 2,138 hours of overtime.
Board member Paul D''Angelo said: "We have serious management shortcomings within the department and people seem to be willing to turn a blind eye to it."
Board members responded to the "outrageous and disgraceful" clocking of overtime by asking for details of any overtime requests of more than 400 hours per year, the story noted.
Some see the high number of overtime hours as normal and necessary because many of the schools are open more than 12 hours a day and the district was short 15 custodians last year, the story added.

Marine and lake disposal of mine tailings and waste rock
International Conference in Egersund, Norway, September 7-10, 2009. Conference summary by Jens Skei, Gert Asmund, Poul Johansen and Jens Søndergaard. 2nd November 2009
Executive summary
This conference addressed disposal of mine tailings and waste rock in lakes and in the sea, which has previously taken place at several mine sites around the world, and still do. Operating-, closed- and planned mines in Norway, Greenland, Indonesia, Canada, and Papua New Guinea were described in three key notes papers and 22 technical papers. Cases with both satisfactory and unsatisfactory environmental impacts were presented. Many papers focused on methods to predict the environmental effects of mine waste disposal in fresh and marine water. Based on the conclusions, it seems that there now exists reliable methods to determine the environmental effect of mine waste disposal in lakes and in the sea, thus making it possible for decision-makers to decide whether a given mine waste disposal project is acceptable. At the end of the conference, the participants listed several important conclusions as well as cases where more research is needed and where better practice should be conducted.
The objective of the conference was to gather specialists from the mining sector and the scientific and regulatory communities to present and discuss advantages and disadvantages of placing mine tailings and waste rock in the sea or in lakes. What criteria should be used if we are, for example, to create stable submerged deposits and minimize the risk of extensive smothering of the sea bed, the risk of uncontrolled dispersal of fines and the risk of release of contaminants? What baseline studies are needed?
Many countries are experiencing an increasing interest in exploring for and exploiting minerals. But in mining projects a main challenge is to manage mine tailings and waste rock in a manner that will be environmentally acceptable and work essentially in perpetuity. Often, land-based solutions have been preferred, but these may require maintenance for unpredictable time periods after mine closure, and several instances of dam failure illustrate that land-based disposal can be problematic. Submarine or lacustrine disposal of waste may in some cases offer better opportunities to secure long-term solutions.
The conference was attended by 58 scientists, regulators and people from the industry (see the list of participants in Annex 1). At the conference information related to operating, closed and planned mines in Norway, Greenland, Indonesia, Canada, and Papua New Guinea was described by 3 key notes papers and in 22 technical presentations. Cases included both positive and negative experiences regarding environmental impact. Many papers focused on methods to predict the environmental effects of mine waste disposal in fresh and marine water. It seems that there now exists reliable methods to predict the environmental effect of mine waste disposal in lakes and in the sea, thus making it possible for decision makers to decide whether a given mine waste disposal project is acceptable.
The conference program is given as Annex 2. Here also the list sponsors of the conference is attached.
The speakers kindly offered to have their presentations published with this report. The presentations can be found in Annex 3. Summaries of most of the presentations are also available (see Annex 4).
At the end of the conference, the participants discussed what could be concluded and recommended from the presentations. These conclusions are listed in the following section. It should be noted that the authors of this report take full responsibility for the report including the section about conclusions and recommendations.
Conclusion and recommendations ("Take home messages")
1. Environmental evaluation of different waste management strategies is important. A thorough site-specific environmental evaluation of all options for disposal of tailings and waste rock is important – not two mine projects, sites, or mine-ores are exactly the same. What is the state of the ecosystem? What can be impacted? The extended Goklany concept (see Derek Ellis's presentation) may be used as a tool in that process.
2. Good baseline studies prior to disposal of mine waste are essential and should be considered an investment by the mining company when planning the project (included in the project costs). Studies should be able not only to assess the state of the ecosystem but also the seasonal and annual variability of the system (preferable 2-3 years data). When determining the state of a fish population it is important not to rely solely on catch statistics (for several reasons the numbers reported by fishermen are not always correct) but also include on-site counting statistics. Night-time observations are rarely included but are often needed to get an understanding of the system (e.g. some species may only be present at a specific location during night-time). Archiving of samples and data in an accessible way is important and may be valuable for the mining company to assess future impacts.
3. Environmental impact assessments (EIA's) should be of highest quality, especially if sensitive areas are considered (e.g. high-biodiversity areas, spawning areas, threatened species, and species of great importance). The sensitive areas have to be defined. What are the gains vs. costs? Socio-economical studies should also be considered in the EIA. Documentation as well as good stakeholder dialog and transparency are important for both the mining company and the public in the EIA process. High quality EIA's are important: 1) as a background for advisers (competent hearing institutions); 2) as background for the managers – decision makers; 3) to help politicians make the decisions they really want; and 4) to obtain legitimacy in the population and among other stakeholders.
4. Detailed scientific investigations including chemical characterization of tailings and waste rock as well as studies of reactions within a tailings/water interface, simulating site-specific conditions as well as possible, are needed prior to deciding upon submarine tailings or lake disposal. Site-specific studies of any process (chemical/physical/biological), which may have an impact on the mobilization, transport, and accumulation of contaminants related to the tailings/waste rock in the recipient ecosystem, is important. This includes an understanding of the natural processes in the recipient. Near shore disposal of waste rock should be managed properly. Presented cases of previous dumping of mine waste in tidal zones or in shallow water near high-energy beaches clearly illustrate that this should be avoided, particularly if sulfidic waste rocks or tailings are being dumped.
5. Seabeds affected by tailings disposal often 'recover' within 1-10 years after closure (Maarmorilik, Greenland > 15 years) depending on tailings composition, deposition rate and toxicity potential. However, the definition of 'recovery' is also not clear and can be debated (benthos reappears, but species and biodiversity are often changed). A 'sustainable ecological succession' was mentioned in the discussions as a possible definition. It also has to be noted that not all ecological changes may be negative and some may even have a positive effect on the ecosystem. However, quantifications of ecological effects are difficult and both local and regional ecosystem effects should be considered. More studies of the recovery dynamics including more detailed investigations of the benthos in these 'recovered' states (e.g. the concentration of contaminants in tissues of benthos and the composition of species) are required. It has to be noted that even in deep sea areas, it is possible to obtain good quality monitoring data e.g. using remote vehicles for underwater camera-transects. In addition to recovery dynamics there is a need for more studies of the linkage between ecosystem effects – How does a local ecosystem impact affect the regional ecosystem? Last, it was commented that the impact of the seabed should be considered relative to the impact of the land in the mining areas, where large forest areas are typically cut to allow building of roads, building etc.
6. There is no consensus on the water quality standards to be used as criteria for waste disposal and local water quality standards tend to vary a lot (within approximately a factor of 10). As a proxy for the environmental impact of metals, it is better to use the 'dissolved' fraction (filtered water samples) rather than the total fraction (unfiltered samples). As an improvement to that, it would be preferable if an indirect measure of the bioavailable fraction of metals was measured (e.g. using diffusive gels). In practice, this is difficult and time-consuming, but has to be considered in order to get a more thorough understanding of the potential biological impact (the possible demand for the bioavailable fraction measurements has to be driven by the science community).
7. Disposal of all chemicals (flotation agents etc.) should be considered carefully and should be subject to toxicity tests before submarine disposal. The Oslo-Paris (OSPAR) convention must be considered. Waste minimization and alternative useful application of waste products should be in focus and environmental evaluation of different waste management strategies should be investigated.
8. Waste minimization should be in focus. More research should be directed towards reuse of mine waste instead of disposal. (i.e. capping material for contaminated sediments.)
The conclusions and recommendations are based on discussion after the individual presentations, on reviews made by small groups of each presentation, and on a discussion session at the end of the conference.

About Fran Becque, Ph.D.
Welcome! Chances are good you found this blog by searching for something about fraternities or sororities.
The history of Greek-letter organizations (GLOs) - fraternities and sororities - is one of my great passions. I was the last person anyone would have suspected of joining a sorority in college. I am sure I would have agreed with them, too.
When I made my way to Syracuse University, I saw the houses with the Greek letters that edged Walnut Park, and wished I could tour them. My roommate suggested I sign up for rush (as it was then called, today it's known as recruitment) and go through the house tour round and then drop out of rush. It sounded like a plan. I didn't realize that I would end up pledging.
In this blog I will share the history of GLOs and other topics. I wrote a dissertation on "Coeducation and the History of Women's Fraternities 1867-1902.″ It chronicles the growth of the system and the birth of the National Panhellenic Conference.
My Master's thesis details the history of the fraternity system at Southern Illinois University Carbondale from 1948-1960. The dates are significant ones and the thesis is available on the top menu.
I have done research at the Student Life Archives and have written several histories of University of Illinois fraternity chapters for the Society for the Preservation of Greek Housing.
Other topics having to do with higher education also come into play. P.E.O., a Philanthropic Education Organization, was founded as a collegiate organization. I am a P.E.O. and I like to talk about its history. Colleges with which I have a personal connection - Knox College, Mount Holyoke, Washington and Lee, University of Michigan, Syracuse University, Southern Illinois University Carbondale, to name a few - also find their way into these posts.
Thanks for dropping by! I hope you'll follow my blog. We who enjoy fraternity and sorority history need to stick together. I put together a Pinterest board about fraternity and sorority history. It is at pinterest.com/glohistory/.

Russian Air Force Deputy Commander for Air Defense Lieut. General Sergei Razygrayev confirmed in an interview with the Moscow Ekho radio that Russia is developing a new, more advanced air and missile defense system designated S-500. The new system development is expected to be completed by 2012. The missile is designed to intercept primarily medium range missiles - what Russia considers 'a new type of threat'.
The new missile defense system will be capable of intercepting targets at target-speeds up to five kilometers per second, out of earth upper atmosphere. The S-500 is expected to have an extended range of up to 600 km and simultaneously engage up to 10 targets. The system will be capable of destroying hypersonic and ballistic targets. S-500 will be a successor of the S-300 developed in the 1990s and operate in tandem with the S-400 currently entering service with Russian air defense forces.
Both systems were designed as air defense systems with some short-range-missile defense capability. First evidence of the development of the new missile was provided by the Russian Air Force Commander in Chief Col.-Gen. Alexander Zelin earlier this month. Concept evaluation of the S-500 began in the early 2000s and was slow to proceed due to apparent violation of the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. At the time, the US and Russia discussed deploying such system as part of a unified missile defense capability.

"How is it now?" he answered anxiously, for she was still rubbing the towsy golden curls which covered the back of her head.
"Kiss it and make it well," she said, with perfect gravity, shoving 19 the injured part up to him. "That's what mother used to do. Where's mother?"
"Mother's gone. I guess you'll see her before long."
"Gone, eh!" said the little girl. "Funny, she didn't say good-bye; she 'most always did if she was just goin' over to Auntie's for tea, and now she's been away three days. Say, it's awful dry, ain't it? Ain't there no water, nor nothing to eat?"
"No, there ain't nothing, dearie. You'll just need to be patient awhile, and then you'll be all right. Put your head up agin me like that, and then you'll feel bullier. It ain't easy to talk when your lips is like leather, but I guess I'd best let you know how the cards lie. What's that you've got?"

[AppleTV2] Subtitles not being shown using NFS share - Sharken - 2012-03-14
Just a little heads up. If your ATV2 doesnt show subtitles and the video is coming from a NFS share then permissions might be the problem.
Easy way to check is to look in the folder where the video is located. If there is not subtitle file there, then the problem could be lack of permission for XBMC to write the subtitle file into the folder.
It would be more helpful if XBMC could show that it could not write the subtitle.

This is an epic fail on my part. I am blaming my overworked brain this week. I for some reason had it in my head that this was a Verdant sample. I even searched my cupboard to make sure I didn't already own THIS verdant tea. As I was tearing open the package and dumping the contents into my steeper I realized that this was not a Verdant tea, this was a Steepster Select tea, which I have tried, haven't reviewed, and still have one package left of it. So this will just be a swap out. I will enjoy this package and add my sample pack to the box.
This tea is very nice treat tonight. It is earthy/woody with a fruity after taste. It is really really hitting the spot tonight. My first steep of this in December I remember not knowing what to think.

It's kinda like going to a buffet, you always think you can eat more than you can. Can't wait.

How To Integrate Facebook, Twitter And Google+ In WordPress
- By Kevin Muldoon
- January 19th, 2012
- 112 Comments
Integrating social media services in your website design is vital if you want to make it easy for readers to share your content. While some users are happy with the social media buttons that come built into their design template, the majority of WordPress users install a plugin to automatically embed sharing links on their pages. Many of you will find that a plugin does exactly what you need; others not so much. Some are poorly coded, and most include services that you just don't need. And while some great social media plugins are out there, they don't integrate with every WordPress design.

- 15 Useful Twitter Hacks and Plug-Ins For WordPress3
- Create A Responsive, Mobile-First WordPress Theme4
If you aren't comfortable editing your WordPress templates, a plugin is probably the best solution. If you are comfortable making a few edits to your theme, then consider manually integrating social media so that you have more control over what services appear on your website.
Today, we'll show you how to manually integrate the three most popular social media services on your website: Twitter, Facebook and Google+. First, you'll learn how to integrate Facebook comments on your WordPress website, to make it easier for readers to discuss your posts. Then, we'll show you the most common ways to display your latest tweets in the sidebar, which should encourage more people to follow you on Twitter. Finally, we'll show you how to add sharing buttons for all three social media services to your home page, posts and pages.
Please make sure to back up all of your template files before making any changes, so that you can revert back if something goes wrong. Testing your changes in a non-production area first would also be prudent.
Integrate Facebook Comments On Your Website Link
Because most people are signed into Facebook when they browse the Web, enabling Facebook comments on your website is a great way to encourage people to leave comments. It also curbs spam. While many solutions purport to reduce spam comments on WordPress, most are either ineffective or frustrate visitors by blocking legitimate comments.
Feature-rich commenting solutions such as IntenseDebate6 and Disqus7 have benefits, of course, because they allow users to comment using Facebook and a number of other services; but before visitors can comment, they have to grant access to the application, an additional step that discourages some from commenting. By comparison, integrating Facebook comments directly enables visitors to comment with no fuss. Also, this commenting system allows users to comment by signing into Facebook, Yahoo, AOL or Hotmail.
Before integrating Facebook on WordPress Mods8 at the end of September, I looked at a few solutions. I followed a great tutorial by Joseph Badow9 and tried a few plugins, such as Facebook Comments For WordPress10. The reality, though, is that the official Facebook comment plugin11 is the quickest and easiest way to add Facebook comments to your website.
Simply follow the steps below to get up and running.
1. Create a Facebook Application Link
To use Facebook comments on your website, create a new comment application for your website on the Facebook Application12 page. This step is required, whether you add Facebook comments manually using a third-party plugin or with the official Facebook plugin.
Simply click on the "+ Create New App" button on the Facebook Application page, and enter a unique name for your application in the "App Display Name" field. The "App Namespace" field doesn't have to be filled in for Facebook comments (it's used with the Facebook Open Graph Protocol13).
You will then be provided with an "App ID/API key" and an "App secret key." You don't need to remember these numbers because the official Facebook comments plugin15 automatically inserts them into the code that you need to add to your website.
2. Add the Code to Your Website Link
Next, go back to the Facebook Comments plugin17 page and get the code for your website. The box allows you to change the URL on which comments will be placed, the number of comments to be shown, the width of the box and the color scheme (light or dark).
You don't have to worry about what you enter in the box because all of the attributes can be modified manually. And it doesn't matter what URL you enter because we will be replacing it later with the WordPress permalink:
The URL for this Comments plugin. News feed stories on Facebook will link to this URL.
The width of the plugin in pixels. The minimum recommended width is 400 pixels.
The color scheme for the plugin (either light or dark).
The number of comments to show by default. The default is 10, and the minimum is 1.
Whether to show the mobile version. The default is
When you click on the "Get Code" button, a box will appear with your plugin code (choose the HTML5 option, because FBML is being deprecated). Make sure to select the application that you set up earlier for your comments so that the correct application ID is added to the code.
Insert the first piece of code directly after the
 tag in your
header.php template:

Put the second line of code where you want to show the comments. Make sure the static URL is replaced with the WordPress permalink (
<?php the_permalink(); ?>) so that comments show correctly on every page of your website.
<div class="fb-comments" data-href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" data-num-posts="15" data-width="500">

To put Facebook comments above WordPress comments, add the above code just below the line that reads
 in the
comments.php template. To put Facebook comments below WordPress comments, add the above code below the
</form> tag (again in the
comments.php template).
If you plan to completely replace your WordPress comments with Facebook comments, simply replace the call to your
comments.php template with the call to your Facebook comments. For example, to replace comments in posts, simply add the code to the
single.php template. Similarly, edit the
page.php template to show Facebook comments on pages.
Your should now see the Facebook comments box displayed on your website. To get an update whenever someone leaves a comment using Facebook, add yourself as a moderator to your application on the Comment Moderation tool21 page.
Show Your Latest Tweets In The Sidebar Link
Displaying your latest tweets is a good way to encourage people to follow you on Twitter. The most common place to display tweets is in the sidebar, although you can add them to any area of the website.
Display Your Latest Tweets Manually Link
I have tried a few manual solutions for showing tweets on my websites, and my favorite comes from Chris Coyier of CSS-Tricks22. His RSS fetching snippet23 is a quick and effective way to show the latest tweets from your account. The RSS address of your Twitter24 account is
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=xxxxx (where
xxxxx is your Twitter user name). For the tweets that you favorite, use
http://twitter.com/favorites/xxxxx.rss. For example, the RSS for the latest tweets from Smashing Magazine is
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=smashingmag; and to display only the favorites,
https://twitter.com/favorites/smashingmag.rss. Once you've got your Twitter RSS address, simply add it to Chris' PHP snippet.
include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/feed.php');
$rss = fetch_feed('https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=smashingmag');
$maxitems = $rss->get_item_quantity(3);
$rss_items = $rss->get_items(0, $maxitems);
<?php if ($maxitems == 0) echo '
No items.
';
// Loop through each feed item and display each item as a hyperlink.
foreach ( $rss_items as $item ) : ?>
<a href='<?php echo $item->get_permalink(); ?>'>
<?php echo $item->get_title(); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
For a more stylish way to display tweets manually, check out Martin Angelov's tutorial "Display Your Favorite Tweets Using PHP and jQuery25," or Sea of Cloud's "Javascript Plugin Solution."
Display Your Latest Tweets Using the Official Twitter Widget Link
The official Twitter profile widget looks great and is easy to customize. You can define the number of tweets to display and whether the box should expand to show all tweets or provide a scroll bar.
The dimensions can be adjusted manually, or you can use an auto-width option. The color scheme can easily be changed in the settings area, too. Once the widget is the way you want it, simply grab the code and add it to the appropriate WordPress template.
Display Your Latest Tweets Using a WordPress Plugin Link
If you don't want to code things manually or use the official Twitter profile widget, you could try one of the many plugins available:
- Cardoza Twitter Box26
- Floating Tweets27
- Latest Twitter Sidebar Widget
- My Twitter Ticker28
- Tweet Blender29
- Twitter Plugin for WordPress
- Twitter Widget Pro30
Add Social-Media Sharing Buttons To Your WordPress Website Link
Adding social-media sharing and voting buttons is very straightforward and enables readers to share your content on the Web. Simply get the code directly from the following pages:
The buttons you get from the above links work well when added directly to posts (
single.php) and pages (
page.php). But they don't work correctly on the home page (
index.php) or the archive (
archive.php) by default, because we want to show the number of likes, pluses and retweets for each individual article, rather than the page that lists the article. That is, if you simply add the default code to
index.php, every button will show the number of shares for your home page, not for each article.
To resolve this, simply make sure that each button uses the article permalink, rather than the URL of the page it is on. To add sharing buttons only to posts, simply choose the button you want from the links above and copy the code to
single.php; to add the buttons only to pages, just add the code to
To show the number of likes, pluses and retweets that an article has on the home page and in the archives, follow the steps noted below for Facebook, Google+ and Twitter below (the code for showing a sharing button on the index page will work for posts and pages, too). You can see an example of sharing buttons integrated in post excerpts on my own website WordPress Mods34 and on popular blogs such as Mashable35.
Facebook Link
Facebook's Like button37 comes with a lot of options. Choose from three layouts: standard, button count and box count. An email button (labelled "Send") can be added, and you can set the width of the box, too. You can also show profile pictures below the button, choose between the labels "Like" and "Recommend," choose between a light and dark color scheme, and set the font.
You need to add two pieces of code to your website. First, add the JavaScript SDK code directly after the
 tag (in the
header.php template). This code has to be added only once (i.e. if you've already added the code to show Facebook comments on your website, you don't need to add it again).
Put the second piece of code where you want to show the Like button. To ensure that the correct page is referenced, add
href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->ID); ?>" to the second piece of code. It should look something like this:
<div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.facebook.com/smashmag" href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->ID); ?>" data-send="false" data-layout="box_count" data-width="450" data-show-faces="true" data-font="arial">

More information on how to customize the Like button can be found on the Facebook Like Button page39.
Google+ Link
Google+4032 offers four sizes of sharing buttons: small, medium, standard and tall. The number of votes that a page has received can be shown inline, shown in a bubble or removed altogether.
Linking to your article's permalink is very easy. Just append
href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" to the
g:plusone tag. For example, to show a tall inline Google+ button, you would use the following code:

<g:plusone size="tall" annotation="inline" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"></g:plusone>

It didn't take too long for the Morrisville-Eaton and Canastota wrestling teams to see just what kind of challenges the Center State Conference offered up.
The Warriors dropped its league opener to Sherburne-Earlville 35-22 Tuesday night, just as the Raiders ran into Mohawk and couldn't find many points in a 49-12 loss to the Mohicans.
M-E is still trying to get used to life without one of the famed LeBlanc brothers on hand. Between them, Treavor, Paul and Ryan won eight sectional titles, with Paul earning a state title at 140 pounds in 2005 and Ryan claiming two consecutive state championships at 160 pounds in 2008 and '09.
Now they are gone, as is Alex Meyers (fifth in the state at 215 pounds in '09), and head coach Duane LeBlanc is still trying to see what he has, which includes some strength in the higher weight classes — as it showed against Sherburne-Earlville.
Jake Holcomb, at 189 pounds, and Dalton Villnave, at 215 pounds, both won with pins to open the meet, and Tyler Streeter (103 pounds) followed with a 16-5 win over Dustin Mosely.
However, the Marauders won eight of the remaining nine matches, two of them by forfeits. Only Mike Vreeland, at 145 pounds, broke the streak by pinning Derrick Ferris.
Canastota had even more difficulty against Mohawk, who won the first four matches to streak to a 15-0 lead. That included close decisions where the Raiders' Brandon Durfee (135 pounds) lost to Kyle LaBarge 6-5 and Schuyler Jayson (145 pounds) fell to Dustin Bond 5-4.
Jeremy Brodfuehrer finally got the Raiders on the board at 160 pounds, beating Eric Ulinski 4-2. When Fred Sherman (171 pounds) pinned Travis Herringshaw late in the second period and Zach Zupan (189 pounds) beat Mike Judson 11-7, the Raiders looked to be back in it.
But Mohawk turned it around when Mike Barse beat Sam Stagnitti 4-1 in the 215-pound division, and the Mohicans did not lose again, with a forfeit, three pins and one decision.

The Richard GRIFFIN who married Mary GREEN (my 7-great grandparents) had
baptized a son (Ralph) in 1725 and another son (John) in 1727 in Bristol
Parish, Prince George Co., VA. Thus, this Richard was a generation older than
John's son, Richard.
I believe that John GRIFFIN who died in 1743/1744 may have been an older
brother to Richard GRIFFIN who married Mary GREEN.

Everyone working on this line is stuck at the same place. I have seen
some tantilizing clues that suggest that Richard Griffin and Mary Green
are from Henrico County, VA. (found Griffin and Green families of the
right time) - but Henrico's published records are scanty.
Sorry this is so long. Can you search through your records and see if we are
on the right track?

The "Quadrilateral Initiative": A New Security Structure in Asia?
The "Malabar CY 07-02" naval exercises held in the Bay of Bengal in the first week of September 2007 were the largest of their kind and may change the security structure of Asia. Thirty ships and 300 aircrafts were sent by four states – namely, Australia, Japan, India, and the USA. These exercises may be a first decisive step towards a new military initiative in Asia which engages powerful external actors such as the United States and Australia. In this emerging security structure, the US already holds a dominant position because it has established bilateral security ties with the other members of the Malabar exercises. China's highly sensitive reaction to this initiative at the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) and the latest ASEAN summit and its engagement with other Central Asian states in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) mark the opposite side of a potential new regional power game. Are we witnessing the rise of a new security alliance in Asia? And if so, will the next strategic crevasse be one between Japan, the US, Australia, and India on the one side and China, Russia, and their allies on the other side? What are the interests of the major players involved? What are the possible effects of the Quadrilateral Initiative on the regional security situation? It is argued here that at the moment we are not witnessing a factual bloc-building process between China and Russia on the one side and India, Japan, the USA, and Australia on the other. The exercises can be conceived of as a symbol of strength rather than a coherent approach to containing China. Yet, it is the demonstration of power that may in the long run manifest itself as a new security fault line between regional and external powerful actors. Economic interdependence as a dominant feature of this region would be joined by a new security structure that may change the region and could have worldwide repercussions.

text: London-based US bassist Michael Janisch co-led this sharp group with his Cuban pianist friend Aruan Ortiz at at the London jazz festival last year, and this is the resulting live recording, with saxophonist Greg Osby, trumpeter Raynald Colum and drummer Rudy Royston. The playing is world-class, the jam-session atmosphere palpable, recalling the 1960s Time No Changes Miles Davis quintet, and often veering into free jazz, too. Janisch's Precisely Now declares the Davis allegiance through the edgy drumming and oblique riff that arrive after his dramatic solo-bass opening, and in the Herbie Hancockish fluency with which Ortiz chases Colum's solo. Osby supplies Wayne Shorter-like insinuations, but he's fast, fluid and lyrical on Jitterbug Waltz, and elegantly enigmatic on Thelonious Monk's Ask Me Now. It's a jazz album to the bone, but the live vibe makes it feel almost as good as being there.

is it ok to talk maps here?
ok well, anyway ......
soOoo I go to this guitar show and there was nothing good. I end up buying a purple jewel light for $4 and a y cable mic cord for $5 and an old Elvis style original shure mic for $110 with teh propriatary cord and some DVD about some Camaro and Challenger killer gore movie from the 70s for $2 .....
.... and then when I thought all hope was lost, I find this Ibanez toob map for $200
I'm thinking it was from teh 80s but it's really from like 2010. Soo, we plug it in and it has 2 12AX7s and 2 6V6 tube ..... sounded HUGE! Warm clean fender tones .... and it has an Ibanex TS9 tubescreamer built inside of it! so I hit that and holy CRAP is this a good sounding map! .... and then on top of the over drive boost, there is a solo boost, so you basically have clean, crunch and solo out of one map!
Now mind you, I have vintage Hiwatts, Orange Retros, vintage Marshalls, Mesa boogies, vintage Fenders and so I pretty much know when a mop has good tone, and this thing jsut RIPS ! ! !
sooo I pay the man $200 for the map and footswitch and get it home. It sounds even 1,000,000,0%better through my Mesa 2x12 cab which was impossible until I actually did it!
The thing is, it's chassis mounted 6V6 t0obz are cheap-o chinese t0obx and I can't wait to slap some USA RCAs in there .... 12AX7s as well.
Wow, just when you thought the world was falling apart, there are little gems out there that still give you hope!
Better hurry, with inflation taking off like it is, these will be $500 by the time you read this

Bishop John McCormack has apologized for the problems faced by parishioners of a church whose priest had a sexual relationship with a teenage boy, and has named a temporary replacement.
"I am sorry for the pain, confusion, and division that has resulted from this series of events at St. Patrick Parish in Jaffrey," McCormack said in a statement yesterday.
McCormack, who heads the Diocese of Manchester, transferred the Rev. Roland Cote to Jaffrey in June from a parish in Nashua without informing parishioners in his new post about his past.
Cote admitted to parishioners in September that he had a long-term affair with a teenage boy in the 1980s. Authorities investigated him in April after the teenager, who is now 35, told authorities the priest sexually abused him as a minor.
Prosecutors said they could not bring charges because the teenager was over the age of 16 when he first met Cote.
"In hindsight, I'm sorry I did it," McCormack told the Concord Monitor Saturday. He wrote a letter earlier to parishioners, telling them that though Cote's actions were wrong, they did not violate the Diocese of Manchester's policies on child sex abuse.
Cote told parishioners Friday that he was resigning immediately, explaining in a statement yesterday that the matter has "been emotionally and physically draining to parishioners, as well as me."

Authorities are searching for a suspect who was allegedly shining a green laser at the sheriff's helicopter ASTREA Friday night.
Officials said the laser strike happened around 9:45 p.m., as ASTREA was flying near Connecticut Street and Holly Avenue in Imperial Beach.
Officials immediately began scouring the area for the suspect.
Back in September, a National City resident was arrested for allegedly shining a green laser at two commercial airliners and a police helicopter. The two commercial airliners were struck by the laser near a final approach beacon at Euclid Avenue and Imperial Avenue.
About 30 minutes later, the San Diego Police Department's ABLE helicopter was struck by the laser near East 4th Avenue. According to police, the laser strike illuminated the cockpit and the crew was forced to protect themselves.
In that September laser strike, the pilot and an observer were able to pinpoint the source of the laser strike to a small group of people seated in front of a house in the 500 block of South T Avenue. Officers arrested suspect Anthony Sheperd, who was in possession of a green laser and later admitted to shining the laser at the police helicopter.
In August, deputies detained a man in 4S Ranch who was allegedly responsible for shining a laser at the crew inside the sheriff's ASTREA helicopter.
The pilots in that incident saw the laser strike coming from a home in the 16000 block fo Dove Canyon Road.
Lasers have the ability to permanently injure pilots, and can potentially cause loss of control of the helicopter.

Wachowskis Cast Sean Bean for Han Solo Role in 'Jupiter Ascending'
by Alex Billington
February 5, 2013
Source: Deadline
Speaking of Star Wars… but not really. Or maybe? Some interesting casting for one of my most anticipated sci-fi projects in the work has just arrived courtesy of Deadline. They report that fan favorite actor Sean Bean, last seen in "Game of Thrones" as Ned Stark, "Missing" and Silent Hill: Revelation 3D, has scored a major role in the Wachowski sci-fi film Jupiter Ascending. The ambitious futuristic feature is already set to star Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis, but more great actors keep getting adding to the cast list. Eddie Redmayne also recently joined, but now Bean is the latest to land what seems to be a key role in this sci-fi.
The casting news mentions this statement: "Bean will play Stinger, a Han Solo-type character written older than co-star Channing Tatum." Ah, so what do we have here? We know that Kunis and Tatum co-star, likely as a pair, but what exactly is the Wachowskis' Jupiter Ascending about? IMDb describes it as: "In a universe where humans are near the bottom of the evolutionary ladder, a young destitute human woman is targeted for assassination by the Queen of the Universe because her very existence threatens to end the Queen's reign." So how exactly does a gruff Han Solo-like guy fit into all this? We're not exactly sure just yet.
One reason I'm excited for this movie, without even really knowing much about it, is because I keep hearing this is the Wachowskis' ambitious new sci-fi movie to follow The Matrix. A couple of months ago, our friend Frosty from Collider was at a press event with Channing Tatum and he tweeted this after talking to him about Jupiter Ascending: "Said what the Wachowskis are planning is the craziest shit he's ever seen." Yea, that's exactly why I'm excited. Especially with Sean Bean, also known as Boromir in Lord of the Rings, joining as "Han Solo". I'm sure when we find out what exactly that means, it will be an awesome discovery.

The demonization of religion and the Right continues.
I thought Obama claimed to be President of all the people. So how does he justify this? Don't worry, no one in media will ask him.
Via The Blaze:
The pastor at the Washington, D.C. church where the Obama family celebrated Easter on Sunday said members of the religious right want blacks "in the back of the bus," women "back in the kitchen" and immigrants "back on their side of the border."
"It drives me crazy when the captains of the religious right are always calling us back…for blacks to be back in the back of the bus…for women to be back in the kitchen…for immigrants to be back on their side of the border," Rev. Dr. Luis Leon said in his sermon, according to the White House press pool report.
Reuters reporter Jeff Mason tweeted that Leon also said the religious right wants gays in the closet.
The president, first lady Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia walked to St. John's Episcopal Church, located across the street from the White House.

WORCESTER - Not so fun with two.
At least for Wilbraham Funeral Home Post 286.
Barnstable erased a four-run deficit by scoring four
It was a seesaw battle after that.
Then disaster struck for Wilbraham.
Dan Walsh drew a walk. Consecutive sacrifice bunts sent him to third.
Then Dennis Busse hit a roller to first that was misplayed as Barnstable broke a tie and took a 6-5 lead. A Dylan Morris base hit gave Barnstable a 7-5 lead. Both runs, which came off reliever Greg Heineman were unearned. Heineman pitched a complete game 10-2 victory over Pittsfield on Monday.
Barnstable will represent the Commonwealth in the Northeast Regional on Aug. 9 in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. Wilbraham (17-4) will go to the Hampden County sectional playoffs which start on July 23.
"I'm proud of these kids," coach Todd Kosel said. "We were four outs away from winning this game and you can't get much closer than this.
Wilbraham was held to five hits.
Joe Noble gave Wilbraham four strong innings until Barnstable rallied for four fifth-inning runs.
An unearned run enabled Barnstable to pull even, 5-5. Will Taffey reached on a fielder's choice, stole second and went to third when the throw sailed into center field before he scored the tying run on Alex Pernick's sacrifice fly.
For the second time in the game, Wilbraham got a run without the benefit of a hit. Walks to Kevin Baker and Heineman set the stage for an unearned run in the seventh inning.
The runners worked a double steal and Baker came home on a throw to third that no one covered and Wilbraham took a 5-4 lead.
Barnstable got to Noble in the fifth when it scored four runs with two outs to tie the game at four apiece. Barnstable sent nine batters to the plate.
Trouble started when Terrance Mudic reached on a one-out infield single. Four straight two-out hits by Dylan Morris, Mark Brodd, Taffey and Pernick enabled Barnstable to pull even.
Wilbraham moved to a 4-0 advantage in the fourth inning when it manufactured a run. Heineman drew a leadoff walk, took second on an errant pick-off play, raced to third on a wild pitch and scored on Brady Forrest's sacrifice play.
Matty Warren's two-run double provided Wilbraham with a 3-0 lead in the third inning. Baker led off the third inning with a single, Heineman walked and Forrest moved the runners along with a sacrifice. Warren ripped a two-run double.
Wilbraham opened the scoring in the second inning. Kevin Sugarmeyer doubled, stole third and scored on catcher Todd Kosel's base hit.

Stillwater Courier, Lake Elmo Leader cease publication
The Stillwater Courier and Lake Elmo Leader newspapers have ceased publication. The respective papers' final issues are their May 7 editions.
In an announcement posted to the newspapers' websites Tuesday, Courier managing editor Yvonne Klinnert wrote the following:
"Like any good journalist, I won't bury the news - this is the last edition of the Stillwater Courier or Lake Elmo Leader that you will receive.
"Some community newspapers are succumbing to the same economic pressures that are rocking so many businesses, and the news business especially. We are one of them, and we are ceasing publication of this newspaper with this edition.
"Rivertown Newspapers purchased the Stillwater Courier four years ago, and launched the Lake Elmo Leader six years ago. Staff members at both papers have sought to serve their local communities with the highest caliber of community journalism, and I think we have succeeded, if I may say so myself. I am very proud of the work that our staff has done, in producing these publications through the years.
"We have covered the official bodies of local cities, school district and county. We have told the personal stories of hundreds of community members. We have shown the community the inside of its classrooms, businesses, nonprofits, institutions, celebrations and tragedies. Each week, our photos mirrored the community, reflecting events across the spectrum of life in the St. Croix Valley.
"And the community responded well to our newspapers. We were heartily embraced by community members who appreciated the news source and community service we provided. For four years, I have been the delighted recipient of compliments about our publications: "I love your paper," "I wait for your paper each week," "I appreciate the community building that your paper does."
"Alas, we did not reach enough of your friends and neighbors. As a newspaper, we have to be a 'mass media,' we have to have a solid base of subscribers. While we have a very devoted, core group of subscribers, we never reached the numbers of people that we needed to remain financially healthy.
"At the same time, we couldn't garner the financial support from merchants to make our newspapers a profitable entity.
"When the economic tsunami sweeping the country hit our struggling enterprise, it simply wasn't possible to continue operating the business. The decision was made to cease publication.
"No newspaper publisher wishes to make such a decision. An informed electorate remains the basis of a democracy, and newspapers - and now their accompanying Web sites - remain a major source of that information for community members.
"But newspapers are businesses, not public utilities or nonprofits. They provide a public service, while remaining a private enterprise that must meet the expectations of the bottom line. The Stillwater area is a fragmented marketplace, with long-held loyalties. The 'new kids on the block' had a long row to hoe. Under current economic conditions, the task of being financially sound became too burdensome to continue to undertake.
"Personally, shutting down these newspapers is the most difficult thing I have ever done in my almost 30-year career. My staff and I undertook the task of starting and reviving an established publication, and turned it into a top-notch publication, one recognized two years running by the Minnesota Newspaper Association as the most-decorated publication among its membership.
"Ownership leaders gave us free rein to produce the best possible newspaper we knew how, a trust for which I will always be grateful. While I have never worked so hard in an employment position, I have also never been so richly rewarded with community response and appreciation. Those of you in the community who loved the Courier and Leader loved them almost as much as I did - and you let me know it. I will always hold that sentiment in my heart.
"Thank you for sharing your stories with us through the years. Thank you especially to those of you who did provide both financial and moral support through the years.
"The Stillwater and Lake Elmo area has a richness of tradition, community life and vitality that will serve it well into the future. I regret that our publications will not be part of that; thank you for the years that we were."
The Woodbury Bulletin is a member of the Rivertown Newspaper Group, which also includes the South Washington County Bulletin, the Hastings Star-Gazette, The Hudson Star-Observer and several other western Wisconsin newspapers.
