{legal REALTOR®} Of Joyce Kilmer, Hurricane Sandy, and Trees
By Robert S. Kutner, Esq.
Partner, Casner & Edwards
It has been 100 years since Joyce Kilmer published the poem, "Trees." It begins with the words: "I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree." With the arrival of Hurricane Sandy last October, we were reminded of the power of nature and that when a tree falls, it may not be lovely at all. Sandy wreaked havoc on power lines, cars, and homes up and down the east coast.
Trees growing along the boundaries of properties frequently become the source of friction between neighbors. What rights does the neighbor have to take precautions before damage occurs? Questions are presented concerning who will be liable for damage caused by a fallen branch or tree and whether those damages will be covered by insurance. The answers depend upon a variety of factors. While it is not the duty of real estate agents to provide legal advice to buyers and sellers, it will prove helpful to know the ground rules for resolving such issues.
Tree Boundaries
Branches extending across property lines may drop sap, leaves, acorns, and debris on the driveway, car, or house of a neighbor. In Ponte v. DaSilva, a 1983 decision of the Supreme Judicial Court, the Pontes sued their neighbor when Mrs. Ponte fell on the driveway of her home as a result of sap falling from the neighbor's willow tree. The willow tree stood about four feet from the Pointe's driveway. Prior to her injury, the Pontes had complained to their neighbor about the tree and had requested that it be removed. Nevertheless, the SJC upheld dismissal of the complaint based on the finding of the trial judge that there had been no negligence of the tree owner.
The rights of every property owner extend vertically as well as horizontally. The owner has the right to everything beneath the surface as well as everything above. If the trunk of a tree is on the land of one person, but a branch extends over the land of a neighbor, the neighbor has the right to trim the overhanging branch. Similarly, the neighbor has the right to remove roots that extend beneath the boundary and onto his land. Despite this rule, it is crucial that care must be taken when trimming branches or cutting back roots of a neighbor's tree, since doing so may cause damage or death to the tree, leaving the person who caused the harm liable for the damage. The recommended approach is to speak to the tree owner to reach agreement concerning the work.
O'Malley v. Ruhan
, the Appellate Division of the District Court upheld a finding that Ruhan was liable for harm to the O'Malley's cypress trees, whose branches extended several feet over the property line and served as an aesthetic screen between the homes. Without notice to the O'Malleys, the Ruhans had their landscaper prune the offending limbs back to the trunks of the trees, thus rendering them permanently lopsided. Damages were awarded based on the cost of replacing the damaged trees, rather than limited to the diminished value of the O'Malley's property.
Attaching Liability
If a tree falls on the neighbor's property following a hurricane or other storm, a legal dispute may arise concerning responsibility for cleanup costs and liability for damage. As with virtually every other rule of liability, the mere fact that a branch or tree falls onto the property of a neighbor does not create liability of the owner of the land on which the base of the tree is located. For liability to attach, there must be a showing that the tree owner violated a duty owed to the injured neighbor. If an otherwise healthy tree or its branches fall on a neighbor's land during a storm, the harm may be considered to be an "act of God" for which the owner is not automatically liable for any damage. On the other hand, if the tree had been previously damaged or diseased, it is the owner's duty to have taken steps to avoid possible harm to others. If the tree owner is shown to have been negligent in failing to care for the tree, the owner will be liable for the harm that due care could have avoided.
Should a tree fall on a neighbor's property, the absence of negligence in caring for the tree is not an absolute defense to a claim for the cost to remove the fallen tree. After all, the tree remains the property of the owner. It is the owner's obligation to remove his property from the land of the neighbor.
While it is unlikely that the tree owner will be held liable for damage caused by a tree that falls in the absence of negligence, proof that the owner took affirmative steps to keep the tree healthy is likely to result in the dispute being resolved in his favor. In other words, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
The Insurance Branch
Turning to the issue of insurance coverage, if a tree falls on a house, homeowner's insurance will typically cover repair costs as well as the cost to remove the tree that landed on the house. If, however, the tree falls on the yard, but not on a house or other structure, homeowner's insurance will generally not cover the cost of tree removal.
Should the tree fall on a car, but not a structure, homeowner's insurance will not provide coverage. On the other hand, if the owner of the vehicle had purchased "comprehensive" coverage, that auto policy will cover damage to the vehicle, subject to any deductible. Auto insurance, however, will not cover the cost to remove the tree or its branches, even if on top of the vehicle.

Brandon Knight had a career-high 31 points, including five 3-pointers, and Greg Monroe scored 17 points and the Detroit Pistons ended a two-game losing streak with a 104-102 win over the Orlando Magic on Sunday.
The Magic had a chance to tie the game in the closing seconds after a missed free throw, but missed three putback attempts as the final horn sounded.
Orlando's J.J. Redick tied a career high with 31 points and set a career high with eight 3-pointers.
Jameer Nelson had 18 points and eight assists, and Glen Davis added 17 points and 12 rebounds.
The Magic have lost five straight games, including 10 of 11 at home.

Professor Qasim Al-Samarrai Lecture on the The Edition of Arabic Manuscripts
On Wednesday 28th November 2012, Al-Furqan Islamic Heritage Foundation in London organised a public lecture on The Critical Edition of Manuscripts: Past, Present and Future, delivered by Professor Qasim Al-Samarrai, professor of Arabic and Islamic studies. Professor Al-Samarrai is a member of the International Advisory Board of the Foundation for Science, Technology and Civilisation (FSTC) .
After the reception and the opening words, Mr. Sharaf Yamani, member of the Al-Furqan Board of Directors, gave a short brief on Al-Furqan main work and achievements in the field of the Critical Edition of Manuscripts. He emphasised the fact that Al-Furqan has published so far seventeen manuscripts in thirty six volumes and has organised three international training courses on editing.
The keynote speaker in this public event was Professor Qasim Al-Samarrai, professor of Arabic and Islamic studies. His lecture on The Critical Edition of Manuscripts; Past, Present and Future was very well received. He gave an insightful view on the history of the critical edition of manuscripts; the required qualifications for an editor; the history of editing Arabic works by orientalists; and the history of printing. The lecture was followed by a very interesting discussion on the topic.
At the end of the event, the new website of the Foundation was launched. Through the website, the visitors can have direct and instantaneous access to the world of Al-Furqan and its centres. So, please visit us at: www.al-furqan.com.

Joe Scarborough: If You Question Obama's Faith, You're a 'Hater'
Published: 10/1/2010 1:16 PM ET
During a townhall meeting at a New Mexico residence, President Obama proclaimed that he was a "Christian by choice." He said that he came to the faith recently, believing that the Christian precepts of "being my brother's and sister's keeper" and "treating others as they would treat me" defined the kind of life he wanted to live.
In lieu of the quote, Scarborough referenced his own Southern Baptist roots and asserted that Obama is without a doubt a Christian. "When he says things like 'Jesus died for my sins. I'm saved by God's salvation,' that's about as definitive as you can get," he claimed. "At this point, if jackasses out there question his faith, they're just haters."
Scarborough even went so far as to say that to be Christian is to accept Obama at his word. Columnist Mike Barnicle agreed, chastising the "knuckleheads out there who continue this assault on the President based on faith."

Paul Krugman Back Up To His Old Trick Of Using Math.
The GOP has long since given up on using facts and mathematics to decide their policies because the facts and the arithmetic show GOP policies to be fantasies.
Nobel economist Paul Krugman, who blogs in the New York Times and forms his opinions after studying the facts and the mathematics, has become possibly the most damaging thorn in the side of the GOP as a result. His most recent blog dismantles GOP charges that President Obama has somehow promoted more government spending and, as a result of that spending splurge, government spending has grown as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
The Obama Spending Non-Surge
Blogging is a lot like teaching the same class year after year; you're always encountering the same arguments you've refuted in the past, and you want to demand why they weren't listening the last time.
Anyway, what I'm seeing in comments and reactions, once again, is the claim that Obama has presided over a vast expansion of government — a claim backed not by describing any specific programs, but by pointing to the share of federal spending in GDP. Indeed, federal spending rose from 19.6% of GDP in 2007 to 23.8% in 2010 (it was briefly 25 in 2009, but that was a number distorted by the financial bailouts). So there has been a roughly 4 points of GDP rise in the spending share. What's that about?
Well, part of the answer is that the ratio is up because the denominator is down. According to CBO estimates, in fiscal 2010 the economy operated about 7 percent below potential. This means that even if what the government was doing hadn't changed, the federal spending share of GDP would have risen by 1.4 percentage points.
Then, look inside the budget data (pdf), specifically at Table E-10. You'll see a surge in spending on "income security"; that's basically unemployment insurance, food stamps, and similar items. In other words, spending on safety-net programs is up because the economy is depressed, and more people are falling into the safety net.
You'll also see a sharp rise in Medicaid; again, this is because the lousy economy has pushed more people into hardship, making them eligible for the program.
I've done a bit of number-crunching, and here's my allocation of the sources of the rise in federal spending as a share of GDP:
So a depressed economy plus safety net programs that have grown as a result of a depressed economy are, overwhelmingly, the real story here.
What's in that "other" category? Some of it is stimulus spending. Some of it is the leading wave of the baby boomers, who are starting to collect Social Security and enter Medicare. Some of it is rising health care costs.
What isn't there, no way, nohow, is a massive expansion of government, which is a figment of the right wing's imagination.
Beezer here. That darn Krugman! There he goes again using his arithmetricks.

The Department of Mathematics' general education courses aim to prepare students to communicate logically, become proficient at quantitative reasoning, and to think critically and analytically. The courses intend to enable students to deal comfortably with the basic notions of number and chance and to acquire mathematical tools to help reach their career objectives.
University Level Courses:
Mat 101, Mathematics for Elementary Teachers, develops students' understanding of the mathematics needed to teach elementary school. Topics include sets, functions, logic, the real number system, number theory, and problem solving. The course is mainly for early childhood, elementary education, and special education majors.
Mat 103, Introduction to Mathematics, is a liberal arts introduction to the nature and beauty of mathematics. Topics include logic, graph theory, probability, and decision theory. An additional topic is chosen from finance, geometry, and statistics.
Mat 105, College Algebra and Trigonometry, is a unified course in algebra and trigonometry. Topics include the study of polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions, systems of linear equations, and trigonometry.
Mat 107, College Algebra, is a thorough treatment of college algebra. Topics include polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions, systems of linear equations, and an introduction to linear programming.
Developmental Courses:
Many students find that the reasoning required in the above courses is quite different from that of their high school courses and also find that their arithmetical and/or algebraic skills need strengthening. We offer, therefore, two courses, Mat 001 and Mat 000, described below, to help students prepare for university level mathematics courses.
Mat 001, Fundamental Skills in Arithmetic, is designed to strengthen basic arithmetic skills and to introduce the elements of algebra. Students, in general, are placed in Mat 001 if their math SAT is less than 440. A student (other than an Early Childhood, Elementary, and Special Education major) must complete this course and the subsequent course Mat 000 with a grade of C- before enrolling in a 100 level mathematics course. An Early Childhood, Elementary, or Special Education major with an SAT math score less than 480 must complete this course with a grade of at least C- before enrolling in Mat101.
Mat 000, Fundamentals of Algebra, aims at strengthening basic algebraic skills. A student (other than an Early Childhood, Elementary, and Special Education major) with a SAT math score greater than or equal to 440 and less than 480 must successfully complete this course with a grade of at least C- before enrolling in a 100 level mathematics course (see note below).
The Mathematics Placement Exam:
Although students are placed into their mathematics courses by SAT score, they are given the opportunity to 'test-out" of their initial placement.
There are three different placement tests: Arithmetic, Basic Algebra, and College Algebra and Trigonometry. All three tests are approximately 50 minutes in length and have a multiple-choice format.
The Arithmetic Placement Test is for students who wish to "test out" of Mat 001. It measures basic arithmetic and reasoning skills pertaining to whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percents, ratio and proportion, and some geometry. A passing score on this test allows students to enroll in Mat 000 with the exception of Early Childhood, Elementary, and Special Education majors who may enroll in Mat 101.
The Basic Algebra Test is for students who wish to "test out" of Mat 000. It measures fundamental algebraic skills pertaining to linear, quadratic, and rational expressions, factoring, exponents, and inequalities. A passing score on this test allows students to enroll in Math 101, Mat 103, Mat105, Mat107, orMat 121.
The College Algebra and Trigonometry Test, is for students who wish to "test out" of Mat 110. It measures more advanced algebra skills and knowledge of basic trigonometry. Topics include polynomial, exponential, rational, and logarithmic functions, graphing, and trigonometric functions and identities. A passing score on this test allows students to enroll in Math 161, Calculus I.
Students may take a challenge exam to test out of their SAT placement. This exam is given during freshmen summer orientation or on the second and third nights of classes each semester. Additional times on which the test is given are posted outside the Department of Mathematics office, Room 101, 25 University Avenue. Test results are normally made available on the same day as the exam. Scores are posted at the same site and are forwarded to advisors and others responsible for scheduling.
Advanced Placement Policy:
Course credit for success on AP exams in mathematics is awarded as follows:
3 | 4 | 5 | |
Calculus AB | MAT 108 | MAT 161 | MAT 161 |
Calculus BC | MAT 161 | MAT 162 | MAT 162 |
Statistics | MAT 121 | MAT 121 | MAT 121 |
If placed in a calculus class because of an SAT score, the student must still pass a departmental examination administered during the first day of classes before being allowed to continue.
Dr. Peter Zimmer, Director of the Department of Mathematics' Developmental Education Program can answer questions or provide additional information regarding the testing program. He may be contacted at (610-436-2696) or by e-mail (email@example.com).
Department of Mathematics
First-Year Students:
Students with SAT Math scores of 440 or below are placed in MAT 001; those with scores greater than 440 and less than or equal to 480 are placed in MAT 000. A score above 480 entitles a student to enroll in a 100 level mathematics course. For those students who require MAT 101, i.e., early childhood, elementary, or special education majors, the remedial mathematics course is MAT 001 for students with an SAT math score of 480 or below.
Students are not placed in remedial math in the same semester as remedial English. Those that require both remedial English and remedial math will first be scheduled for remedial English and placed in remedial math the following semester.
Students have the opportunity to "test out" of remedial mathematics courses by taking the required placement exam.
Students who intend to take Mat161, Calculus I and have an SAT math score of 590 or less are placed in Mat110, Pre Calculus. Students who wish to "test out" of this placement must pass the College Algebra and Trigonometry placement test.
Transfer Students:
Students who receive transfer credit for a 100 level mathematics course are not required to take a remedial mathematics course. Those who did not receive such credit are required to pass the appropriate mathematics placement test before enrolling in any mathematics course.
NOTE: A recent University study has shown those students with SAT Math scores of 530 or below tend to do better in university level mathematics courses if they first satisfactorily complete the appropriate remedial math course. We therefore encourage students whose SAT math score is above 480 but below 530 to take the recommended mathematics placement exam. After assessing their own individual performance on the exam, students may choose to take the recommended remedial math course to help assure success in university level mathematics courses.

4H kids spend the entire year working on getting their farm animals ready for the fair.
Judging for sheep, beef and dairy cattle is Thursday, with swine judging on Friday at the Wisconsin Valley Fair.
Going in front of a judge gives 4H members an opportunity to increase their knowledge of the animals, and develop communication skills.
Many members, like Abby Thunder, 16, have been participating in the fair for years.
"I've done very well some years and others it's just not my year. Either they're not cooperating or the judge isn't seeing eye to eye," she said.
But she says she loves being in 4H and getting the opportunity to show at the fair, and says everyone involved is great.
10-year-old Matthew Walter agrees.
"It's just cool to.. show animals," he said.
The market animal sale is on Saturday, the fair runs through Sunday.

Oh Arizona, how classy you are!
Every year, I bring my puppy (Chandler Bing) to take pictures with Santa and I!
He's my pride and joy... So, what about the folks who don't have a living creature to love and cherish... They bring guns.
Yeah... my Husband just LOVES this idea. Don't think it'll go over too well at the UP Mall, though.
Anyway, The Scottsdale Gun Club in Arizona is inviting families to pose for a photo with Santa Claus and their guns!
Don't have a fire arm? Perhaps that's best.. But if you still want to pose like Mr. & Mrs. Smith, they'll let you stand with your choice of...decor.
Choices range from pistols to modified AR15s.
"I thinks it's going to be all in fun from those who support the second amendment and those who don't.
Whether you're a gun advocate or not, you should have a lot of fun with it," said gun club member Richard Jones.
Oh yeah...that's good.

Workington woman taken to hospital after house fire
Last updated at 17:05, Monday, 16 April 2012
A fire engulfed a Workington house bringing a busy road to a standstill.
Two fire crews were called to Mossbay Road at around 3pm and were met by flames coming out of the ground floor window.
A woman in her 50s was in a "distressed state" and taken to West Cumberland Hospital, Whitehaven, suffering from smoke inhalation.
At least eight firefighters battled to put out the blaze and stopped it spreading beyond the living room.
Firefighter David Grieves, of Workington station, said: "Flames were licking out of the window.
"We saw a woman in the back garden in a distressed state, and an ambulance took her to the West Cumberland Hospital."
The fire started in one of the corners of the ground floor living room by some electrical equipment.
An investigation has been launched.

JavaOne 2012: Strategy and Technical Keynote
0While the double entendre of 'SUNday' no longer exists, this first day is still an important day. To set the stage, manage expectations, build on the atmosphere and layout the roadmap (starting that sometimes not even subtle massaging of the minds). The keynote sessions are the key events that define scope and themes for the conference.
Java is very much on the move again. After the virtual stand still just before and for a while after Oracle took over (from) Sun, last year saw a dramatic increase in the Java movement. This year that thread continues. Not with many spectacular announcement, but with a solid pursuit of earlier roadmaps and an apparently good collaboration between vendors in the Java space. The one big elephant in the room – that is actually not in the room at JavaOne – is Google. Otherwise for example, Oracle staff happily shared the stage for this keynote session with IBM.
This year's overall slogan for JavaOne is: Make the future Java.
It is very much an invitation from Oracle to help bring the Java platform forward. In many ways: ideas, feedback, testing, propagating, creating code, joining JSR committees etc. Oracle and other vendors More >

Thank you so much for giving me information about email marketing sites, I already used the suggested sites, those are really very good, one of my friend told me about a site name ucrux which really very resource full. You can have a look on it. Still I am searching for better result.

Suite26 -a really simple interface with triggered sends and full email broadcasting capability. Prices start at £20 per 1000 emails with no set up fee
Hope this helps

Woah. It's a Vampire.
He's at his best at night, obviously. Just don't take him into sunlight, or he'll burst into flames.
Woah. It's a Vampire.
He's at his best at night, obviously. Just don't take him into sunlight, or he'll burst into flames.
winrar! 5$
I want one.
Sweet idea!
I can finally give this the $5 it truly deserves. Great Job!
On a scale of 1 to Awesome, this is a 12. Want!
PRINT! so good.
This is pretty slick. Makes me reconsider completing my own submission for the contest.
I hate you. I love you. I hate you. I love you. 5$
Also, there's a distress option. The previews are distressed, but the main image isn't. It'd be cool to hear which one people like best.
Great idea.
Cool!! $
This is genius! You suck.
Fantastically awesome 5 + $
amazing... uv and glow combo!
This is so fucking simple & cool that it has pretty much sealed my decision not to enter this contest.
$5... you bastard.
Great idea!
it's cool but where's the link with the theme?? i don't get it....
you really lucked out with the contest mangg, great shirt $5
"it's cool but where's the link with the theme?? i don't get it...."
Dude. Vampires are like the ultimate creatures of darkness!
$5 of course
It´s a great idea but the contest is about ¨innovative¨ use of glow ink. It´s a good combination of inks and would make a great regular print but from the contests perspective, it´s basically 3 blotches of glow ink, not innovative enough I think.
$5, w/distressing
I like that its so simple, 5
Ooo this came up quick.
Definitely w/ distress. Looks great, and great idea. Maybe a little bigger? But that's just me.
awesome dude, yea definitely diggin the distress
The problem with having it bigger is that without flames the vampire would sit way too low on the chest - it would look kinda weird.
i want one, damn best vampire shirt ever, plese don't anybody else submit another, this is the ultimate. right
great idea
I'm not too crazy about the color of the flames, but it's an awesome concept and otherwise well-executed.
Ok, glow in the dark is pretty smart, but bursting into flames in the sunlight makes this oh so good!
...what hogboy said.... but can I add
...$5.. dick....
I've been working on something that uses UV ink and glow in for a couple days now, I hope nobody thinks I riped of your idea (of using both).
this is killer, fantastic job as usual.
quite a wonderfully interactive t-design
excellent idea and execution
$5 either way, but I like the distress...
wait and see the wave of 3 phase shirts come rolling in now. i'm already trying to think of one.
Your best work? Maybe! $5
moss is numba wan
Boom! $5

The quality of a end product is always down to accurate dosing of all
properties and admixtures.
It's from deciding importance that recipes are observed accurately;
there weighing and dosing technique play a decisive role.
Every false dosed charge is waste, costs money and secondary a lot of
time, because the charge has to be produced again.
Our weighing system warrants the use of only standardised and
certificated software.
Beside the recipes administration are nor modules for the
order maintenance, production book, capture of production data
as well as warehouse management available.
Thus let construct a complete monitoring of a material.
This modular concept and potential gateways to external systems
(e.g. SAP) guarantees you a complete, integrated system for your business.
Weigh station
As well like the dosing technology all kinds of weighing techniques are
part of the industrial fabrication.
From the pure silo weighing over the mix scale to the point of
precision balance for midget quantities are all individual components
in our complete system contained and produced consequently a perfect
o integration of the weighing electronic circuit in our complete system
o no unnecessary interfaces
o operation and display of all scales via networking on the whole factory
o integration of alle weighing data unproblematic in OPICOM possible
o installation of systems requiring calibration most different types of weighing
o easy handling via hand- and automatic functions
o standardised operator environment for short first day at school phases
o changeover from old weighing techniques up-to-date

Black Elk
Self Titled
Y'know, I'm starting to develop a liking for Crucial Blast Records. Though I'm admittedly a big fan of noisy, sludgy things of all shapes and varieties, this label's output recently has been invariably solid (Totimoshi, Skullflower, Microwaves) and occasionally outstanding (Across Tundras). Black Elk's debut self-titled definitely falls closer to the former group than the latter; there's little genuinely original about the band's brand of noisy hardcore, but the execution is tight and the licks are very respectable. Not quite as left-field experimental or noise-drenched as Microwaves' recent Contagion Heuristics, this effort will please fans of both nineties-era dissonant hardcore and that style's more sophisticated descendants.
I know that some of you are still scanning for the "for fans of" namedrop segment, and I won't disappoint you. This is a pretty catholic blend of discordant ruckus; Deadguy, The Jesus Lizard, Breather Resist and even post-hardcore rockers like These Arms Are Snakes have all clearly done a lot of time in rotation in Black Elk's stereo, but the resultant songs fail to really jar the way the above acts do. Still and all, these guys are not afraid to throw their weight around. There's at least a tiny smidgen of metal in their sound (scope out the chugging and crashing of "My Lil"), but this is mostly straightforward caustic hardcore, down to the gritty analog production and Tom Glose's forceful howl. Songs like "Toggle," "Baby Liver" and "Cuddles" screech and thunder their way past without leaving much of an impression behind, but manage to satisfy the genre's requirement for sweltering aggression. Like most such genre-piece bands, Black Elk are at their best when they throw in a little bit of outside influence. "Toss You To the Wolves," for example, features a crushing Melvins-like trudge that punishes more successfully than most of the band's noise-oriented segments, while "When I'm a Ghost" and "Who Knew" see Black Elk bring in some partially sung vocals and a spacey, drugged-out hard rock influence (think Jane's Addiction).
Aside from these few catchy moments, this release isn't Crucial Blast's best, but it's still certainly solid enough. Though they might suffer somewhat from comparison—I preferred the new Microwaves album to this—there's a very loyal fanbase dedicated to this kind of music, and they'll eat this up the way brutal death fans eat up Devourment albums. This band is clearly young but also clearly talented, and if they manage to stay together and further develop the 'rock' dimension of their sound they could put together some damn good music. For the moment though, Black Elk are recommended only to noisecore devotees.

Not sure where we're going to go with this one, but we'll give it a try.
First off, let's start by reminding everyone that the upcoming weekend is a very special one - Mother's Day.
I am very fortunate and privileged to have a couple of special women in my life - my mom and mother-in-law. Both are special in their own way and no matter what, have always been there for me. Love you both.
So to all you mothers out there I wish you a happy Mother's Day!
Because Sunday is a special day, it has another special and wonderful meaning for me - I don't have to cook. While that, in itself, is a treat for me, it is probably an even bigger treat for my family since they don't have to deal with any one of my concoctions.
And while I don't have to cook, it also means that I won't be doing dishes, which is probably one of the my most dreaded duties around the house. I think that I would rather go back to doing laundry for five people. The key word here is "think".
But while some moms will be treated to a sit-down meal in a nice restaurant, I have been contemplating staying home and have my husband use the grill that he received a couple of years ago as his Father's Day gift.
That doesn't seem quite right, does it? Giving my husband a gift that can make me happy. At the same time, using the grill will save him a whole lot of money.
I knew that if I tried hard enough, I could justify my actions in buying the grill. You just have to look long and hard enough.
Next topic - Millers. And I only bring this up as we seem to have one that wants to be my best friend as I sit at the dining room table typing away. I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one irritated by the flapping and erratic flying patterns of these winged creatures.
For some reason, my new little friend likes my face and hair, making it a little slow going with the typing as I make pathetic swats through the air.
Due to the issue, I had to call out the big guns - a fly swatter. Apparently we need a super duper strength gadget as it took several attempts to remove my friend from the scene.
So instead of a meal on the grill for Mother's Day, I should ask for an industrial-strength swatter. Seems like Miller Moths are going to be around for a while.

For just that reason, we both had been avoiding watching the HBO miniseries starring Kate Winslet and Guy Pearce and directed by Todd Haynes. Finally, with the series now on DVD, I surrendered and watched it, as did Laura. Below, expanded from an attenuated Facebook thread, are our thoughts on the experience, which ultimately led to the question, as Laura poses it on her blog: what happens when someone has a "deep, mad love for a book"?

I just wanted to give you all a heads up that I will be taking a leave of absence as one of the GOs of this board.
I still plan to be a participating member of this board, and plan to resume my duties as a GO eventually.
I started my own business about a year ago and things have been taking off recently. I'm finding that I need more time to focus on other priorities and have been having a difficult time balancing the responsibilities of my career while still having a presence on this board.
In light of recent drama, I want to add that this decision is my own. To the best of my knowledge, the moderators support any of the recent decisions any of the GOs have made regarding the various issues we've had.
I also want to thank Michelle, Meggie and Leigh in supporting me on this and for doing such a great job as GOs of this board. This job can be particularly difficult when there are divides among members- there is always someone who thinks that you're taking sides. These girls do a fantasic job and play an important part of letting this board have the "personality" we have as a group. We really have a special group here. Every single one of you play a part in making us...us.
In the words of Leigh the Great....
I love August.
Now accepting applications for the new hit reality TV show "MIL Island." Leigh's MIL is bringing the sandwich tray.

DeeDee Garcia Blase does not own therealpenzone.com – She supports the Mike Stauffer for Sheriff Campaign, not Arpaio
Thursday, October 11th, 2012Now I have heard every thing.
Evidently people are crying a river because they think I own a website called therealpenzone.com. I don't own that site. Upon investigation, I discovered someone from Oklahoma owns it. You can see it here. I did notice that Oklahoma site hyperlink to stories I have written, and the author of that blog is clearly an Arpaio supporter, and I am no Arpaio supporter. I would rather burn in hell than to support a man like Arpaio who is responsible for the death and killing of a Latino veteran in the Maricopa County jail.
Now that I am being falsely accused of owning http://therealpenzone.com/and being a Sheriff Joe Arpaio supporter, let me set the record straight:
I want the independent candidate Mike Stauffer to win and beat Sheriff Joe Arpaio because as an independent voter, I believe partisanship does not belong in the Maricopa County Sheriff race. More importantly, I have simply done the math and have discovered that there are 36% registered Republicans, 35% registered Independents and only 29% registered Democratic voters. In other words, due to the numbers….a democratic candidate doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell. This is why the Maricopa County Democratic has not been able to oust Arpaio for 20 years to no avail. Independent registered voters swing conservatively in our state and that is precisely what Mike Stauffer is — an independent fiscal conservative who can take over the Maricopa County Sheriff office on Day 1 with his education and experience. Stauffer has an advanced degree and the experience to lead the 3rd largest County Sheriff's department in our Nation. Both the Republican and Democratic candidate have a high school degree.
Furthermore, Sheriff Joe Arpaio has written a soliciting letter to his supporters accusing me of attacking him and called me a "liberal democrat" even though I was a registered Republican at the time. I used to be a life long Republican, but the extremism I witnessed caused me to leave the GOP for good and I changed to an independent registered voter for life.
Obviously I am going to support the 2nd largest voting bloc in our county via the independents. I also support PROP 121 because extremism is ruining our State of Arizona.
Do I work for the Stauffer campaign?
No. I have never been on any political candidate's payroll — ever.
Do I guest blog on numerous sites?
Yes, I do. I guest blog on NUMEROUS sites and I believe in social networking that enhances my ability to exercise my freedom of speech and expression via my political opinion.
Am I in charge of the Independent Expenditure paving the way for independent law enforcement?
No, I am not in charge of that nor am I on any sitting board of IE's or SuperPAC's against Arpaio. The persons in charge of the 'independent' SuperPAC is a public relations firm that has a reputation of fighting for the Martin Luther King holiday when a boycott against the NFL games was being considered and left a stain in Arizona history. One of the men considering the independent SuperPac flew to Africa and was instrumental in Nelson Mandela's cause. Even though people did ask me to charge a SuperPAC against Arpaio — I respectfully turned it down because I do better at grassroots activism.
I hope this clears the air from the conspiracy theorists that are out there wearing tin foil hats.
Here are my reasons why I support independent candidate and prop 121 supporter Mike Stauffer for Sheriff:
About Mike Stauffer:
I am a 29-year police veteran.
I believe strongly in the rule of law as guided by the founding principles of the United States. I believe in providing professional law enforcement and public safety services to all Maricopa County residents. I am guided by the Constitutional principles of due process and equality under the law as originally intended by the Founding Fathers.
I am concerned with the current state of law enforcement in Maricopa County. The constant string of lawsuits and lack of cooperation on the part of the Sheriff's Office with other law enforcement agencies has seriously degraded the quality of public safety in the county. The current sheriff has turned away from crime prevention and suppression in favor of political grandstanding and expansion of power. I pledge to work to improve inter-agency communication and cooperation between all law enforcement in Maricopa County on all levels.
"The "go it alone," "rule through fear and intimidation" attitude of the Arpaio administration is inappropriate in dealing with today's public safety issues. What is needed is strong cooperation and mutual respect between law enforcement leadership and personnel in Maricopa County. This new relationship will strengthen our ability to insure the safety and quality of life for all residents of Maricopa County. We will work together with all local, state and federal law enforcement and homeland security agencies to make this our top priority." I have been a member of the law enforcement community since 1983.
I began my career with the NYPD as an Auxiliary Police Officer, while earning my undergraduate degree in Government at St. John's University. Upon graduation, I went on to a full time career with NYPD. I worked as a patrol officer in Manhattan and Brooklyn. I served as one of the first canine handlers in the NYPD's Canine Unit. I worked in the elite Narcotics Division in Manhattan as a narcotics investigator.
I came to Maricopa County in 1991 and joined the Scottsdale Police Department. I have served as a patrol officer and patrol sergeant. I also served as the department's Staff Lieutenant, supervising the Internal Affairs Unit, the Public Information and Media Office, and the Budget Office. Currently,
I am serving as a Patrol Watch Commander in the Patrol Division in Scottsdale's Downtown District. In addition to serving the community in crime prevention I am an online instructor for the Criminal Justice program at the University of Phoenix. I am an instructor of Constitutional Law at the Arizona Law Enforcement Academy.
I have been married to my wife, Grace, for 27 years. I am the proud father of three successful young adults.
