Emily Bronte
Emily Bronte (1818-1849), English author and one of the famed Bronte sisters wrote Wuthering Heights (1847);
Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living! You said I killed youhaunt me, then! The murdered do haunt their murderers. I believeI know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me alwaystake any formdrive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!
First published under Emilys pseudonym Ellis Bell, the combination of its structure and elements of passion, mystery and doomed love as well as social commentary have made Wuthering Heights an enduring masterpiece. Set in 18th Century England when social and economic values were changing and land ownership did not always the man make, it is a world of patriarchal values juxtaposed with the natural elements. Bronte explores themes of revenge, religion, class and prejudice while plumbing the depths of the metaphysical and human psyche. Brontes own home in the bleak Yorkshire moors provides the setting for the at-times other-worldly passions of the Byronic Heathcliff and Catherine. Also having written much poetry, Emily Brontes works did not receive wide acclaim until after her death at the age of thirty. Wuthering Heights is still in print today and has inspired numerous television and feature film adaptations. As with most of the Bronte sisters popular novels, people have tried to find biographical parallels in them. Emily has been characterised to mythic proportions as deeply spiritual, free-spirited and reclusive as well as intensely creative and passionate, an icon to tortured genius.
Emily Bronte was born on 30 July 1818 at 74 Market Street in Thornton, Bradford, Yorkshire, England. She was the fourth daughter of Maria Branwell (1783-1821), who died of cancer when Emily was just three years old, and Irish clergyman Patrick Bronte (1777-1861). After her youngest sister Anne (1820-1849) was born the Brontes moved to the village of Haworth where Patrick had been appointed rector. Emily had four older siblings; Maria (1814-1825), Elizabeth (1815-1825), Charlotte (1816-1855) and Patrick Branwell Branwell (1817-1848). Emilys Aunt [Elizabeth] Branwell (1776-1842) had moved in to the Parsonage after her sister Marias death to help nursemaids Nancy and Sarah Gars raise the six young children.
In 1824, Emily, with her four sisters entered the Clergy Daughters School at Cowan Bridge, near Kirkby Lonsdale. When Maria and Elizabeth died there a year later of tuberculosis, she and Charlotte returned home to Haworth. Their father was a quiet man and often spent his spare time alone, so, the motherless children entertained themselves reading the works of William Shakespeare, Virgil, John Milton, and the Bible and played the piano, did needlepoint, and told each other stories. The four often paired up; Charlotte and Branwell started writing of their imaginary world Angria, Emily and Anne writing of its rival, Gondal. Penning their kingdoms histories and developing characters to populate them, the young Bronte girls found a creative outlet in writing stories and poetry. Emily was becoming an independent and opinionated young woman as her poem The Old Stoic reveals;
And if I pray, the only prayer
In 1835 Emily enrolled at Miss Wooler's school at Roe Head, Mirfield where Charlotte was teaching, but she soon returned home when she became profoundly homesick and ill. After a few years as governess at Law Hill Hall in Halifax, West Yorkshire, Emily and her sisters Charlotte and Anne travelled to Brussels, Belgium in 1842. There at the Pensionnat Heger under teacher Constantin Heger they immersed themselves in the study of French, German and literature with the aim of starting their own school someday. When their Aunt Branwell died Emily alone returned to Haworth for her funeral and stayed on there, just her and her father. She helped around the home and continued writing and editing her poems. By 1845 her sisters had given up their dream of starting their own school and the three were together at Haworth again. It was Charlottes idea to publish the poems of Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell in 1846. The following year Wuthering Heights was published to mixed reviews, although it was soon lauded as an original and innovative tragic romance. Tragedy loomed large in Emilys life as well: her brother Branwell had become an alcoholic and addicted to opium and the family were constantly dealing with his depressions and at times mad ravings. He died in 1848 and while at his funeral Emily caught a cold and died soon after, on 19 December 1848. She now rests with her mother and father and sisters Charlotte, Maria, and Elizabeth and brother Branwell in the family vault at the Church of Saint Michael and All Angels in Haworth, West Yorkshire, England.

I just finished rereading Wuthering Heights. I first read the book about forty years ago. In my opinion, Wuthering Heights is an unique novel. No other novel approaches it in character, plot and theme. It is a great novel, no doubt about it. Emily Bronte was ahead of her time. Considering that she wrote Wuthering Heights in the late 1840s, it's amazing what she does with character. All of the main characters are anti-social and far from being admirable.

Wuthering Heights and class conflict
I was thinking about this novel the other day, and thought that maybe the characters of Heathcliff and Cathy represent different sides of the economic spectrum. Heathcliff is a gypsy, at the very bottom of the social ladder, almost a pariah. He is an orphan/abandoned child, and gets a chance to raise his social status after being adopted by the Earnshaws. However, he becomes angry when the rich, represented by Cathy, remain just as aloof and indifferent to him after he becomes wealthy as before....

|Company Name
Bigger is better. I am sure you have heard this before. Okay, get your mind out of the gutter; I am referring to company size. Larger companies typically fit the bill for growth and income investors. Let's see why.
Defining and Calculating Market Cap
Market capitalization is simply a measure of corporate size. Yep, it is nothing more than that. This measure can be calculated by taking a stock's price and multiplying it by the total number of shares outstanding (stock currently held by investors). In essence, it is the price one must pay to buy an entire company.
Let's go over a quick example. If Moland Springs (fictitious company) is currently trading at $50 per share and has two million shares outstanding, its market capitalization would be $100 million. Sounds fairly big, right? Well, put it this way, General Electric's market capitalization is over $350 billion. No, that is not a misprint. But that's not to say Moland Springs is a small company.
Market Cap Breakdowns
There are a number of guidelines floating around with regards to the proper classification of company size by market capitalization. When all of these standards are analyzed, U.S. companies and stocks are often categorized by the following approximations:
Large-cap: market cap exceeds $5 billion
Mid-cap: market cap between $1 billion and $5 billion
Small-cap: market cap below $1 billion
You may also find the above classifications broken down even further. Mega-cap (the biggest boys) and micro-cap (the smallest fish) are terms you can also run across.
Risk/Return Tradeoff
Companies falling into either the large-cap or mid-cap buckets are typically well-suited for growth and income investors. Why you ask? Well, in general, large-cap and mid-cap stocks tend to be less risky than their small-cap counterparts. They are usually mature, well-established companies that have the necessary resources to weather an economic downturn. Smaller companies, on the other hand, are less-established and still trying to get off the ground and make a name for themselves.
However, one must keep in mind that with less risk comes slower growth. While small-caps have the potential to take off (but can also fail), large-caps may sometimes have limited growth potential. Mid-caps, as the name implies, fall somewhere in between. Their potential for growth is greater than larger companies, but so is the risk for loss.
Furthermore, mature and established companies have a higher tendency to pay dividends to their stockholders. While smaller companies are dumping money back into themselves in order to fuel growth, larger companies can afford to share their wealth with their shareholder base.
Growth and income investors are looking for companies that exhibit strong fundamentals such as earnings growth, strong management/leadership, excellent products and a competitive strategy. These are the necessary ingredients for a long-term hold. Large- and mid-cap stocks generally pass the test. We at Zacks like to limit our screen to companies with a market capitalization of at least $1 billion. As you can see from the guidelines above, this allows us to focus on both large- and mid-cap stocks. Small-cap stocks are left out in the cold.

FedEx Freight reported a $162 million operating profit for fiscal 2012 on $5.3 billion in revenue, its first annual profit since 2008, when it earned $329 million.
The largest U.S. less-than-truckload carrier rolled back into the black in its most recent quarter as well, as stronger pricing and higher volume pushed revenue up 7 percent to $1.4 billion.
The industrial freight arm of FedEx reported an $81 million operating profit in the quarter that ended May 31, a 93 percent increase from its year-ago profit.
The carrier more than recovered from a $1 million operating loss in its fiscal third quarter ending Feb. 29, posting a quarterly operating ratio of 94.2 percent.
For the full year ending May 31, FedEx Freight increased revenue 7.1 percent to $5.3 billion — an 18.2 percent increase from its recession low point in fiscal 2010.
FedEx Freight plans to make changes to its LTL network next month that it says will speed freight and help the company improve its operating margin.
"We'll be speeding up about 6,000 lanes," President William J. Logue, said during a conference call with stock analysts after FedEx released earnings June 19.
(A transcript of the conference call published by Seeking Alpha is available here.)
Those changes are adjustments to a network overhaul FedEx Freight completed last year, merging its regional and national networks and introducing priority and economy service.
The trucking company gained volume in its March to May quarter despite a slowing economy. Average daily LTL shipments and LTL yield both increased 4 percent.
Yield rose on higher fuel surcharges and base rates, Logue said, adding FedEx Freight is "laser-focused" on improving yield in its new fiscal year.
The carrier plans to hike its base tariff rates 6.9 percent on average July 9.
FedEx Freight has been working to balance volume and yield since deep discounting during the recession led to losses totaling $372 million over three years.
"The network design is really important to really move this volume efficiently through our network to put it to the bottom line," he said.

Is There Heaven in A Wildflower
Heaven in a wildflower with it's amazing soft blue color
The color of the clear sky in daylight
That plays hide and seek with the sunshine, blue sky and big fluffy clouds.
Bends with the rain that gives it deeper roots in mother earth, to nurture
seeds of joy, peace and harmony.
The wildflower dances in the mist that surrounds it in the early morning hours waiting for the unfolding of what lays ahead.
People stop to admire and find unconditional love, beauty and pleasure in it's being.
The expression of God's abundance, power and prosperity.
Children in there oneness with God and knowing they will not be judged, stop to talk to this beautiful wildflower and they tell it their secrets and dreams as it stands in all it's glory, this unique creation is a gift from a loving God.
Yes, there is heaven in a wildflower

Menlo Park, Calif.Water is familiar to everyoneit shapes our bodies and our planet. But despite this abundance, the molecular structure of water has remained a mystery, with the substance exhibiting many strange properties that are still poorly understood. Recent work at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and several universities in Sweden and Japan, however, is shedding new light on water's molecular idiosyncrasies, offering insight into its strange bulk properties.
In all, water exhibits 66 known anomalies, including a strangely varying density, large heat capacity and high surface tension. Contrary to other "normal" liquids, which become denser as they get colder, water reaches its maximum density at about 4 Celsius. Above and below this temperature, water is less dense; this is why, for example, lakes freeze from the surface down. Water also has an unusually large capacity to store heat, which stabilizes the temperature of the oceans, and a high surface tension, which allows insects to walk on water, droplets to form and trees to transport water to great heights.
"Understanding these anomalies is very important because water is the ultimate basis for our existence: no water, no life," said SLAC scientist Anders Nilsson, who is leading the experimental efforts. "Our work helps explain these anomalies on the molecular level at temperatures which are relevant to life."
How the molecules arrange themselves in water's solid form, ice, was long ago established: the molecules form a tight "tetrahedral" lattice, with each molecule binding to four others. Discovering the molecular arrangement in liquid water, however, is proving to be much more complex. For over 100 years, this structure has been the subject of intense debate. The current textbook model holds that, since ice is made up of tetrahedral structures, liquid water should be similar, but less structured since heat creates disorder and breaks bond

|My potatoes were planted March 4th. They grew like weeds. Faster than anything else in my garden then suddenly I noticed last week the inner plants were dying back. They started turning yellow. I blamed it on the plant growing so large that the inner leaves weren't getting any sunlight but as days went on, the problem grew worse and worse to the point where I know think something else might be wrong with the plants. I try not to over water. I do live in Florida though where it rains every few days. I make sure to look at the weather and not water a day or two before if I know it's going to rain soon. I check the soil 1inch deep to see how wet it is too. I've been known to over water so I have to keep myself in check haha. The plant to the left is fine. They get the same amount of care and both are in the same size container. Anyways, this is my first time growing potatoes (or any veggies). Could anyone give me some advice on what the cause my be or what I can do? Thank you in advance :)
Follow-Up Postings:
|What kind of potatoes did you plant? Early potato varieties often mature in 60 days, so in that case your potatoes would be doing exactly what they should be doing at this point. They die back when they're done.
You can harvest some new potatoes any time, or wait until the tops are completely dried up, and then you'll know your spuds are as big as they're going to get, and the skins will be somewhat cured (for storage help.)
If what you planted was more of a 90 day potato, then maybe someone else will have an idea what is making them die back early. Either way, you probably have some potatoes in there.
|Agree that it depends on the variety and are they the same variety in the other container?
Otherwise overly wet soil or the lack of proper feeding are the two most likely causes.
They also appear to be leggy with very long internode lengths due to insufficient sun exposure. That makes the stems stretch and leggy plants have a tendency to fall over since the stems can't easily support the weight of the heads.
|Potatoes are relatives of tomatoes and can get the same diseases, which are many. Some diseases are carried by insects, so be sure to control them. What kind of potting soil did you use? If there was any garden soil, it could be some kind of wilt or fungus. They look a little crowded. I've been growing potatoes in 20-gallon and larger containers for four years and have learned that it's better not to plant too many. 4 or 5 seed potatoes per 20 gallons is about the max. Also I've learned that in spite of looking pretty horrible on top, I usually get nice clean potatoes in the pot. So don't give up until all the top growth has died back.
|I know probably potatoes more than any vegetable.
Number One: You have probably planted TOO many seeds in that container. I can count over 15 stems there. And no wonder they are leggy.
Number Two: your plant looks normal (foliage wise), considering your climate.
Number Three: For zone 9, FL, you could've started early. They kind of shut off when the soil temperature reaches/exceeds 70F. Even if you get lush green foliage, they will not set tubers. Depending on the variety, they need 80 to 120 days (from seed to harvest). Just like tomatoes there are EARALY, MID and LATE varieties. For places like FL, perhaps you need to grow EARLY variety.
|It is the heat more than anything else and that was considerably exacerbated by being in containers. Early march is overly late to plant in the Orlando area - mid to late january is the correct time. A half-zone north in Lake county I plant in late january and that generally strikes a good balance between mostly avoiding frost-nip to the emerging foliage and the mature plants running into long hot days. Greater Orlando has much fewer frost events, depending of where you are you might even plant in late December.
|I planted red potatoes bought from the farmer's market. This book I'm reading said to plant in March so I did. I'll try February next year. I put 4-5 potatoes per gallon 15 gallon container.

This hands-off approach, of course, has its own marketing role. Tobacco companies have traditionally hitched their brands to abstract concepts, appealing to the desires and aspirations of their intended audiences as much as to their taste preferences. Relationship marketing, which exploded at the close of the 20th century, presented an opportunity to relate those ideas without the frame of a television screen or magazine spread. Camel targeted its base of trend-conscious urbanites with a "VIP Club" whose members could access special travel deals and product discounts. Virginia Slims, whose cigarettes were usually featured in ads dangling from the fingertips of attractive, fashionable young women, solicited sweepstakes entries for a $50,000 shopping spree.
Marlboro bought up acreage. "One of the core elements of the Marlboro brand are these ideas of spirit, freedom, and adventure," Sylvia said. "The goal of the ranch out in Montana is to really allow the consumers to really experience those elements firsthand."
Internal documents made public as part of the Master Settlement Agreement explain Marlboro's own stake. In the two years prior to the purchase of the Crazy Mountain Ranch, Philip Morris had rented Patch's land -- along with another ranch in Montana's Gallatin Valley and a third in Arizona -- for occasional smoker promotions. Company communications discussing future marketing strategies refer to the success of the ranch promotions in developing loyalty and conversation among those most coveted demographic groups: young smokers and their friends.
"This program generated news and excitement among young adult smokers," one executive wrote to Marlboro's vice president in a memo discussing the planned ranch purchase. According to post-trip surveys, ranch visits increased the likelihood that both winners and guests -- particularly those between 21 and 29 -- would purchase Marlboro in the future. Trip winners also went on to purchase Marlboro significantly more often than other types of cigarettes. The vast majority of visitors reported leaving the ranch with an improved image of the brand, and a high likelihood of telling their friends back home about the experience. (Both winners and guests must be 21 or older to be eligible for the trip, but Sylvia declined to comment on whether the invitations target young customers in particular.)
Marlboro has become the top player in the American tobacco market -- controlling 43 percent of retail as of 2012 -- with a strong base of young and loyal customers. Marty Barrington, the CEO of Altria Group, announced at a consumer conference last fall that Marlboro had outscored every major competitor for brand equity -- a measure of customers' likelihood to choose a product over similar options in the marketplace.
He also highlighted the "excellent demographics" of Marlboro smokers: the brand's share of 21- to 29-year-olds is higher than those of the two largest competitors combined. While the approximate retail value for sweepstakes prizes in the last few years has been roughly $5,000, a single pack-a-day smoker can contribute tens of thousands of dollars to Big Tobacco's coffers over a lifetime, even after discounting federal and state taxes -- and before adding revenue from new customers drawn in by extension.
And if the Crazy Mountain Ranch offers Marlboro rare sanctuary from pressures beyond the fence, it does no less for those who visit. Most states have passed laws against lighting up in restaurants, workplaces, or bars. Smokers are gouged by excise taxes while their habit is decried by public health campaigns. In the frontier town, cigarette smoke is invisible in ubiquity -- a relief, for some, from attention off the property, which may threaten sales more than any advertising ban. Although Rachel said she understands the social stigma against smoking, and doesn't plan to be a smoker for the rest of her life, she enjoyed the brief respite offered by the Crazy Mountain Ranch."If I'm out shopping, [or] leaving a restaurant, I don't smoke till I get to my car," Rachel said. "Because you do get looked at a lot. It's hard."
Her experience reflects a changing market, one that clouds the outlook for cigarette promotions like the ranch. "The rate of cigarette smoking in the United States has been declining for over 30 years, and we expect that it will continue to decline," David Sylvia told me. A recent Gallup poll found that just one in five adults reported smoking in the previous week. That rate that has never been lower -- it's less than half of what it was when Marlboro's cowboy first gazed past the camera. Philip Morris's cigarette sales flat-lined last year, just above a three percent industry-wide decline.
In October 2011, with business flagging, Altria announced a plan to cut $400 million in costs, primarily in "cigarette-related infrastructure," by the end of this year. Opportunity is rich overseas: in 2008, Altria spun off its foreign operations to free them of U.S. legal and image entanglements, and Philip Morris International has been reaching into markets like China, where some 40 percent of the world's cigarettes are produced and smoked.
But "cigarette smoking still is legal in this country," Sylvia said, "and Philip Morris USA will continue to try to market in a responsible way so that when adults who do smoke decide which brands to choose, that they'll choose Marlboro."
Along with the rest of the industry, Philip Morris has been emphasizing the small but growing smokeless category, and some companies are expanding into new territory altogether (Lorillard, one of Altria's major competitors, recently purchased a company that manufactures electronic cigarettes). According to Sylvia, "One of our goals is to find ways to reduce the harm related to tobacco use. What that means for the long term, for the Marlboro brand, and thus the Marlboro ranch? It's hard to say."
The pursuit of free land in the West is, after all, a dated idea. The U.S. Census Bureau declared the frontier closed in 1890, and the Crazy Mountain Ranch is marked with the footprints of earlier pioneers: stretched out in the southern shadow of the Crazies, where William Clark passed on his return journey from the Pacific coast, its buildings raised from fallen ones. But for now, the parties and the promise carry on in Marlboro Country, as the sun burns down into the western horizon, glowing orange and then extinguished.

NASA joins Instagram, epic galactic pictures to follow
In a bid to secure the title of best Instagram account of all time, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration joined the popular (hipster) photo-sharing site yesterday.
The 55-year old government agency declared in a press release that they hope to "take its fans on an out-of-this-world journey through images of Earth and beyond."
NASA Press Secretary Lauren Worley:
"We're constantly looking to expand our social media portfolio to include tools that will best tell NASA's story of exploration and discovery. Instagram has a passionate following of users who are hungry for new and exciting photos. We believe we have some of the most engaging images on and off the planet — and we can't wait to engage with Instagrammers."
Photos and videos posted will be centered around the subjects of aeronautics, astrophysics, Earth science, human spaceflight and beyond.
For its very first picture, NASA mooned (pun intended) everyone with an epic snapshot of planet Earth rising over one side of the night star. Originally taken on July 20, 1969 from Apollo 11, the ethereal and almost ghostly surface of the moon can clearly be seen, with Earth peeking up from it smack in the middle of the picture; an interesting perspective.
The image also served as a promotion to tune in to NASA's scheduled launch of the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE), which will take place at 11:27 p.m. EDT tonight from the Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, VA.
NASA already has accounts on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, YouTube, Flickr, Foursquare and Reddit, so creating an Instagram account seems like a no-brainer. The geekiest of all federal agencies boasts 5 million+ followers on its @NASA account. Its "innovative use of social media is recognized as one of the best in federal government," said the press release, because, you know, it's so tough to use social media if you're part of the Feds.
Two of NASA's research centers, the Goddard Spaceflight Center and Ames Research Center already haev Instagram accounts. NSFW pictures of Uranus and Venus colliding to follow.

HARDWICK – Thursday, August 16, 2012 – Governor Deval Patrick today joined officials from Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (DAR) and Office of Travel and Tourism (MOTT) at Hardwick Winery to celebrate the expansion of the Massachusetts Wine and Cheese Trail, bringing the number of stops on the statewide trail to 29 wineries and 18 cheese businesses.
"Massachusetts boasts a growing number of wineries and cheese makers, giving residents and visitors alike many opportunities to enjoy our state's locally made products while, at the same time, creating jobs and maintaining open space," said Governor Patrick.
Massachusetts wineries accounted for more than $9.3 million in sales in 2010 – a $1.5 million increase over 2007. Two-thirds of sales were made directly to consumers at wineries like those included on the trail.
"The Commonwealth is a natural showcase for handcrafted wines and artisan cheeses and the expansion of this trail represents a thriving industry," said Massachusetts Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Rick Sullivan, whose office includes DAR.
Maps of the trail can be found at wine and cheese businesses and MOTT's Regional Tourism Councils across the state.
The expanded trail is a creative collaboration funded by MOTT and their 16 Regional Tourism Councils, the Massachusetts Farm Wineries and Growers Association and the Massachusetts Dairy Promotion Board. The trail was designed, coordinated and distributed by DAR's Division of Agricultural Markets.
"Local wine and cheese businesses represent product diversification models that have had significant positive impact on agricultural and business viability in the Commonwealth," said DAR Commissioner Greg Watson.
"The Wine and Cheese Trail offers visitors the opportunity to experience Massachusetts' rich culinary offerings," said Betsy Wall, executive director of MOTT. "The growers and vintners provide an invaluable tourism asset to the Commonwealth."
Currently, Massachusetts is home to 25 cheese businesses – compared to 18 in 2007. In 2011, production totaled 650,160 pounds – an 11 percent increase from 2007, when the production was 586,475 pounds. About half of the cheese makers use cow's milk, and the other half goat's milk.
An economic study by state agricultural officials show sales totaled $5.55 million in 2011, up from $5.12 million in 2007 – an increase of 10.5 percent. The industry employed 80 workers in 2011, more than double the 38 employees in 2007. Commonwealth cheese businesses maintain some 2,014 acres of land, with 721 acres exclusively for grazing. Farmstead cheese is an important value added product for the state's dairy farmers.
Massachusetts wine and cheese businesses can also be found by going to DAR's MassGrown & Fresher website. Specific wine events can be found on DAR's "Savor Massachusetts" Culinary and Agricultural Tourism calendar and the Massachusetts Farm Winery and Growers Association website.

Percent of Carmel-Lampson Island's property tax revenue would go to Garden Grove, with the rest going to the county
parking spaces within enclosed garages, along with four guest parking spaces
apartment units built in 1989
Source: city of Garden Grove
Garden Grove is moving forward with the annexation of a 20-unit residential complex on its border with Stanton.
The City Council has voted to approve amendments to Garden Grove's General Plan and Zone Map to include the one-acre site known as the Carmel-Lampson Island.
The island is currently part of unincorporated Orange County and is on the 8100 block of Lampson Ave.
During a meeting last year of the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission, which oversees annexations, the owner of the Carmel-Lampson Island complex asked to approach Garden Grove about joining it.
"Even though Carmel-Lampson has always been unincorporated, our property has always identified with Garden Grove," Amber Hall, president of a family-run management company that owns the complex, told the Garden Grove council. "We feel Garden Grove is a better fit than Stanton."
The council will have to vote one more time to finalize the amendments. LAFCO also must approve the transfer, said Karl Hill, Garden Grove's planning manager.
Garden Grove would become responsible for the the area's public safety, sanitation, water and other city services. The costs to the city should be minimal, a staff report said.
"There is a difference between Garden Grove and Stanton," said Mayor Bruce Broadwater. "Especially in taxes. Stanton pays a utility tax that is huge and the water bill over there is much higher than ours. So I would go to Garden Grove, too."

Wines Fit for the Thanksgiving Feast
You don't have to break the bank to please your guests
I used to serve fairly fancy wine for Thanksgiving dinner because I figured the few times a year our family got together merited bottles that were old, rare or both. After a few years of this, I came to the realization that these sorts of celebrations call for good, but not great, wine. Why? Well, first of all, we're all so busy catching up that we don't really contemplate the wine in a way that great wine demands. Second, these sorts of feasts really work best with wine that's flavorful and delicious but not overly complex. To put it another way, Thanksgiving fare is fantastic with high-end quaffers, red or white, that don't call a lot of attention to themselves but are still soul-satisfying. The following are tried-and-true varietals that go with turkey and all the fixings and are all well under $20.
Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc/Viognier, California 2012, $12
This wine is worth it for the perfume alone—it's like smelling spring flowers and nectarines! The wine is dry, however, with clean apricot flavors and even a hint of white pepper.
Red Rock "Winemaker's Blend Reserve," California 2011, $14
A lush blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah, this wine adds a lip-smacking berry element to your Thanksgiving table. Underneath its fruit are delicious nuances of pepper and anise.
King Estate Pinot Gris, Oregon 2011, $15
A kaleidoscope of aromas and flavors show remarkable clarity for a wine this full-bodied. Superb earthy blackberry flavors complement lamb dishes wonderfully.
Acrobat Pinot Noir, Oregon 2011, $16
Aromas of dried cranberry and molasses turn juicy on the palate in a Pinot featuring fine acidity and a lovely fruit and earth balance that is oh-so-delicious with gravy.
Available at Madison's finer wine stores. If unavailable, most purveyors will special order from their wholesalers if requested.

Great facial scrub. Gentle and exfoliating.
I've been using this product every morning for a year now! It is super gentle and leaves your skin both bright and soft. It's a great product and for the price, an absolute steal! I do not recommend to use this if you're looking for something to clear up acne, though.
I have oily/combination skin with occasional acne. I absolutely love this product, as it helps to get rid of dead skin cells every day, twice a day! I don't need to use harsh scrubs or brushes on my face as much as before because of this. It definitely helps me out with my acne. My skin feels softer and looks better. The scrub particles are very small and gentle, yet hard enough to remove dead skin cells. I did not find it drying and the smell is very nice. This product could have been perfect if there was no lauryl sulfate in it.
As far as the ingredients go it's your basic water, glycerin and SLS blend (like most no frills cleansers) however the exfoliating beads really help scrub the day off your face, I have dry skin and I don't get the tight, dried up feeling after using this. I've used Aveeno's Pore Purifying face wash too and it was nowhere near as good, dried my skin out like crazy that stuff.

I bought this scrub because i heard great things about the Positively Radiant moisturizer. So i thought this would be great as well and i ended up loving it! I love how the beads in the scrub are not too harsh so you can you use everyday like it says. I personally use it every night before bed but i can really tell that over time my skin has evened out and my dark spots have faded. Even though it takes time, i definitely think it is worth it! I also love to use the Positively Radiant Cleanser in the morning
Unfortunately, this didn't work for my skin. I feel instead of exfoliating, it dried my combination skin out like crazy! I was having great results with the disc version of this scrub, and I wanted to try this on a whim. Well, I regret it very much. I haven't had a horrible acne breakout in a few months. However, after using this, my skin is broken out,dry, flaky, and feels rough to the the touch. I'm sad because I wanted to love this as much as I love the discs, but sadly, this will just go in the giveaway pile. :(

Love this product! Gives you a really clean feeling. It really gets all the dirt and makeup off. It has really gentle scrubbing pieces that make you feel so fresh and clean. Have already repurchased several times!

This a great facial scrub for adults who have outgrown the Apricot St. Ives scrub. I use every morning to keep blemishes at bay.

I used to use this all the time. I've been having some awful texture on my face lately, all bumpy but nothing coming out. I fished around in my cupboard and found my 3/4 used bottle of this scrub. I purchased the positively radiant wash after I found the scrub, so I could use wash in the morning and scrub at night. It's been just over a week and I can already feel a difference in my skins texture and my skin looks WAY less dull. Sadly, I have had a breakout. I attribute this to stress and the product drawing the gunk to the surface from under my skin. It's interesting that this is happening, considering I used the St Ives green tea scrub every night for 3 months prior to using aveeno again, you'd think the gunk would come out quicker when I use a product with more salicylic acid in it! Anyway, I'll keep using these products and see if the breakouts improve.

Too Much Religion
October 2, 2012
Eugene Peterson, in the Introduction to the book of Hebrews in his book The Message, writes:
"It seems odd to have to say so, but too much religion is a bad thing. We can't get too much of God, can't get too much faith and obedience, can't get too much love and worship. But religion – the well intentioned efforts we make to 'get it all together' for God – can very well get in the way of what God is doing for us. The main & central action is everywhere, and always what God has done, is doing and will do for us. Jesus is the revelation of that action".

Paradoxes of Grace
August 24, 2012
In his excellent, perspective shaping book, Broken-Down House, Paul Tripp reflects some of the amazing paradoxes of the gospel. Take some time to ponder these; feel the tension. This is what genuine grace is and does:
So grace is a story and grace is a gift. It is God's character and it is your hope. Grace is a transforming tool and a state of relationship. Grace is a theology and an invitation. Grace is an experience and a calling. Grace will turn your life upside-down while giving you a rest you have never known. Grace will convince you of your unworthiness without ever making you feel unloved.
Grace will make you acknowledge that you cannot earn God's favor, and it will remove your fear of not measuring up to his standards. Grace will confront you with the fact that you are much less than you thought you were, even as it assures you that you can be far more than you had ever imagined. Grace will put you in your place without ever putting you down.
Grace will enable you to face truths about yourself that you have hesitated to consider, while freeing you from being self-consciously introspective. Grace will confront you with profound weaknesses, and at the same time introduce you to new-found strength. Grace will tell you what you aren't, while welcoming you to what you can now be. Grace will make you as uncomfortable as you have ever been, while offering you more comfort than you have ever known. Grace will drive you to the end of yourself, while it invites you to fresh starts and new beginnings. Grace will dash your hopes, but never leave you hopeless. Grace will decimate your kingdom as it introduces you to a better King. Grace will expose your blindness as it gives you eyes to see. Grace will make you sadder than you have ever been, while it gives you greater cause for celebration than you have ever known.
Grace enters your life in a moment and will occupy you for eternity. You simply cannot live a productive life in this broken-down world unless you have a practical grasp of the grace you have been given [in Christ].
Lost in Wonder, Love, and Praise
August 22, 2012
Surely one of the greatest problems of our times is that we have become so nonchalent about the Lord of the cosmos. Certainly if we were more immersed in God's splendor we would find ourselves thoroughly "lost in wonder, love, and praise". With all the amazing sights and sounds of our cyberspace world, however, many of us no longer recognize that if we but catch a glimpse of GOD – the imperial Lord of the cosmos, the almighty King of the universe – we will be compelled to fall on our faces. Our awareness of God's absolute otherness would give us the sense that we could die now because we have seen God. We would shout with the prophet: "Woe is me, for I am annihilated". (Isaiah 6.5; Martin Luther's rendering.)

When God…
August 17, 2012
When God had mercy on us, when God revealed Jesus Christ to us as brother, when God won our hearts by God's own love, our instruction in Christian love began at the same time. When God was merciful to us, we learned to be merciful with one another. When we received forgiveness instead of judgment, we too were made ready to forgive each other. What God did to us, we then owed to others. The more we received, the more we were able to give; and the more meager our love for one another, the less we were living by God's mercy and love. Thus God taught us to encounter one another as God has encountered us in Christ. "Welcome one another, therefore, just as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God." (Romans 15.7)
Lingering Guilt & Insulting God's Integrity
July 31, 2012
What do you do with the person who says: "I've asked God to forgive me, but I still feel guilty?"
A noted writer (R.C. Sproul, I think) was asked [this] once. [His reply:] "Well, if You still feel guilty, then pray to God again, but this time don't ask Him to forgive you for the sin that is haunting you. Rather ask Him to forgive you for insulting His integrity by refusing to accept His forgiveness. Who are you to refuse to forgive yourself when God has forgiven you…it is often a very difficult thing to accept the grace of God. Our human arrogance makes us want to atone for our own sins to make it up to God with works of super-righteousness".

NARRAGANSETT-This July three daring canoeists will start their journey in becoming the first people to canoe across Rhode Island.
Their adventure will start in North Smithfield, and after traveling a total of 101 miles through 17 cities over eight days, they will land in Westerly. This crazy idea came to local canoeist and supervisor at the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management, Chuck Horbert, 46, of North Scituate. He then decided he needed to find some traveling companions adventurous enough to come along.
"The idea to do this struck me one day as I was paddling with a group about four years ago on the Blackstone River, and I facetiously asked someone on the shore how far we had to go to get to Westerly," said Horbert. "I then started to wonder if it was even possible or feasible, and after review of a lot of maps and aerial photos, I determined it was, and wanted to take on the challenge."
Canoeing along Horbert will be Jim Cole, 67, of Charlestown and Bill Luther, 62, of Seekonk, Mass., both experienced canoeists. The trio met through their participation in the Rhode Island Canoe & Kayak Association where they have all served as President at one time or another.  Cole is an American Canoe Association certified canoe instructor, and author of a paddling guidebook, "Paddling Connecticut and Rhode Island", and Luther has over 30 years of canoeing experience, making the two perfectly suited for the ambitious journey.
Recently, the three men have canoed multiple trips together, further preparing them for what is to come with this next big adventure. Horbert has completed trips that have taken as many as 10 days and over 100 miles, however this one is different.
"This trip will be a little different primarily since  it will happen in a basically urban/suburban environment where not many people would even consider such a trip is even possible," said Horbert.
Horbert and Cole attempted this trip once before last year, but Tropical Storm Andrea quickly ended it on the day they were planning to leave. This year, they have made both physical and mental preparations to assure a successful trip. However Horbert admits the unknown aspects of what could happen during this type of trip is one of his biggest concerns.
" Any time a canoe trip of this nature is undertaken, many things could happen that may affect the trip," explained Horbert. "Other things like trees across the river could present a danger, but those types of things will normally only present a delay since we will be prepared for them."
Aside from the mental and physical preparations they are making, there are the supplies that will make the trip comfortable and enjoyable.
"A lot of beer," joked Horbert. "All kidding aside, aside from the bare necessities of tents, sleeping bags, clothing and food, we plan to take advantage of the extra room a canoe provides, as compared to a kayak."
Additional supplies include but are not limited to comfortable chairs, coolers, safety equipment, cell phones, tarps and a water filter to replenish their water supply along the way. However, these supplies won't prevent the possible obstacles caused by nature, including the upstream segments along the Pawtuxet River, and the 10 mile trip on foot where they will have to carry their canoes.
"I have no real idea how difficult it may be to paddle upstream up the Pawtuxet River, at least on the main stem," said Horbert. "We will just have to see."
Along with these considerations, the route has to be specifically identified and coordinated, which Horbert says has been the hardest part about preparing.
"I've had to identify all of the portage routes around dams and over watershed divides and make sure they are feasible," said Horbert. "Also I've had to identify potential campsites and obtain landowner permission to camp."
During his journey, Horbert also hopes he will raise some awareness about issues with river access, as he plans to make some stops along the way to identify advocacy groups and organizations to encourage the use of water trails. As a board member of Rhode Island Blueways Alliance he intends to bring attention to the various known and unknown paddling routes in Rhode Island. Â
" I wish to advocate for the benefits of communities reconnecting with the rivers that flow through them, highlight the good work that watershed groups do in protecting water quality and promote the idea that there is healthy adventure awaiting anyone, even here in a very developed state," said Horbert.
The three passionate canoeists have worked hard in preparing for this first time trip that will also advocate something they have all been involved with for years. If everything goes as planned, Horbert, Cole and Luther will arrive in Westerly on July 13 feeling very accomplished. Â

Vt. soldier's widow takes on PTSD causeThe Associated Press | May 15,2014
At left, Amy Miner of Essex shows an April 2013 photo of herself and husband Kryn Miner, an Army veteran who suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder before he was killed in a shooting last month. At right, Kryn Miner is shown in Afghanistan in 2010.Amy Miner says her late husbands fight did not end when he left the war.
As with many veterans, Kryn Miners battle against the emotional scars of a long military career was just beginning when he returned home.
It ended last month when the Essex man was shot to death by one of their four children after he threatened to kill the family.
His 39-year-old widow has vowed to bring attention to the need for better treatment for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury.
The truth of the matter is if we cant take care of our veterans we shouldnt be sending them off to war, Amy Miner said in an interview with The Associated Press. It doesnt make sense, because theyre coming back and this is the result and its happening more and more.
A young Army veteran at age 44, Kryn Miner was a loving father and husband, a dedicated career soldier, the guy who would walk into a room and make immediate friends, his wife said.
But after 11 deployments in seven years, he became troubled. His behavior changed noticeably after he was thrown into a wall by a blast in Afghanistan in 2010, one of 19 blasts in his 25-year career, his widow said.
Suffering from PTSD and traumatic brain injury, he tried to take his own life in September, she said.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs says about 15 percent of veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan suffer from PTSD. The disorder is treatable and many soldiers diagnosed with it are successful and function well, according to Army Medical Command spokeswoman Maria Tolleson.
But PTSD also affects entire families dealing with a loved one who can become isolated, anxious or act out due to anger or depression.
Dr. Thomas Simpatico, director of the division of public psychiatry at the University of Vermont, said the more families know about the disorder, the better.
If your father is all of a sudden flying off of the handle or breaking dishes, or whatever, and it happens to be after you said something, one might make the wrong conclusion that his behavior is the result of your activity, he said.
Amy Miner said the last night of her husbands life got off to an amazing start. They attended a wedding in Vermont with two of their four children, dancing and celebrating with good friends.
But afterward things went wrong. Kryn Miner became verbally abusive toward his wife on the ride home and began to hit himself. Prosecutors say he threatened to kill his family, assaulted his wife, and then threw a loaded handgun to their teenage child who came to her aid.
Do you want to play the gun game? the sniper-qualified Miner asked the teen, according to authorities. The teen fired six shots when Miner pulled another gun from a bag, police said.
Prosecutors ruled the April 26 shooting justified and did not bring charges against the teenager.
Miner joined the military in 1987, serving with the 82nd Airborne Division. He became a paratrooper, ranger and sniper, jumping into Panama and serving in the Gulf War, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Not long before his death, his typical day was filled with anxiety, anger and depression, his wife wrote at the time. He felt lost, empty, worthless and was suspicious. He felt guilty for being home while some of his comrades died or were overseas and for the distress he caused his family, she said.
He had tried therapy at a Veterans Affairs facility but often had to wait for hours to see different counselors, Amy Miner said.
He had stayed overnight at a VA hospital, but doctors told him it wasnt the place for him. He had gotten into another treatment program unrelated to the VA and learned how to cope with some of the depression and anxiety, but the program didnt deal with PTSD.
Eventually, he turned to the Lone Survivors Foundation, which helps wounded veterans return to civilian life, offering retreats to service members diagnosed with combat-related PTSD and their families.
He was deeply committed to the notion that our nations veterans have access to the peer support network and resources they need to manage the impact of their time in the service, said Beau Teal, owner of CrossFit Burlington, where Miner was a trainer.
Miner also developed a workout for veterans battling emotional wounds, designing it to take 32 minutes as a way to remember the 32 veterans who either try to or actually do commit suicide every day, Amy Miner said.
His new mission was getting help for others suffering from PTSD, making a Chicago TV appearance to speak about the Lone Survivors Foundation and telling his story at a gala to raise money.
After his life ended, Amy Miner committed herself to continue his work.
He was and still is my everything, she said. I promised him I would never give up on him.MORE IN Vermont NewsJOHNSON A Johnson man is being held on $75,000 bail after the Lamoille County Sheriffs...

Arizona Diamondbacks
Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Willie Bloomquist visits families in hospital
PHOENIX -- Families in the Nursery Intensive Care Unit at Phoenix St. Joseph's Hospital got a special visitor on Friday.
Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Willie Bloomquist and his wife Lisa stopped by to offer words of encouragement.
Bloomquist's visit is part of the Cheers for Kids program sponsored by AT&T, a program raises money and awareness for the March of Dimes.
Among the people he visited were Ashley and Preston Gutherie and their infant daughter Lilly, who is in the NICU.
Lilly was born premature, in the 28th week of pregnancy, over Mother's Day weekend. Ashley said she and Preston were visiting from Utah when they had the surprise.
"My water broke right before I left for the airport," she said. "In we came, and we've been here ever since."
Doctors said Lilly should be able to go home in August.
The Bloomquists can relate to the Gutheries. Their daughter was born premature last year.
Willie Bloomquist said that when a child is born premature, "You kind of feel helpless. There's not a lot that you can do, but just hope and put your babies in the hands of the doctors and organizations that are able to take care of them. The best thing we can do as dads is just try to be there for support and try to love on our kids."
Bloomquist said there is support for parents of premature babies.
"You just deal with it as it comes. There's no handbook for it, but fortunately, with good organizations like the March of Dimes, who have done tons of research to help people deal with things like this, it's making it a lot easier for us."
Bloomquist's daughter, and his wife Lisa, are both doing fine.
