Anybody who knows me will tell you that I'm not one for cleaning. I'll spare you the details, but let's just say there are only a few times a year when I roll up my sleeves and really get into it.
The beginning of spring is one of those times. And if you're like me, that means you want to get absolutely everything over with: the closets, the bathrooms and even the baseboards.
I'll walk you through a few chores with some tips and ways to save money (and even make money) doing them.
Let's start with the epic task of getting rid of your junk. A practical approach would be to ask yourself whether you've worn or used the item in question in the past year. If the answer is no, and you can't come up with at least three reasons why you need to keep it, throw it in the giveaway pile.
Notice I said giveaway. Donating to a charity is easy, so there's no excuse to throw your stuff in the trash.
If you have some items that still hold their value such as designer clothes and electronics, consider selling them online. One of my favorite tools is the Amazon.com Trade-In program. They'll send you a gift card in exchange for gently used electronics, DVDs, books and more.
Once you've sorted through your stuff and dealt with the things you no longer need, you'll want to reorganize and put winter items in storage.
You might need some durable storage bins, which you can find at Dollar General this week for $1-$12. If you lack storage space and need some decorative bins, check out the supply at Big Lots. You'll find plenty of cute options for as low as $5.
The final step is the deep cleaning. As I've said in a previous column, I'm a major advocate for natural and homemade cleaning products. They're easy on the environment, your family's health and your wallet.
If you still buy regular cleaners, be sure to look for coupons in Sunday's Post and Courier. Companies, including Proctor & Gamble, are running coupons on many cleaning products.
Finally, don't wear yourself out with an outdated vacuum cleaner. They won't get the job done right, and they certainly aren't easy on the electric bill.
Consider investing in a durable vacuum, such as the Dyson Ball. Now I know the latest models are retailing for around $600, which sounds crazy. But you can find slightly older or gently used models online for as low as $255.
Once you've tackled all the big tasks, add some finishing touches. A few indoor plants can add a lot of personality to a room, and they can even help with air circulation. Plus, nothing says "spring" like flowers in bloom.

I finished The Prophet; it really had me in its grip. LOTS AND LOTS of football but still a good one. I am starting Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness. 'Tis the second of her trilogy of a love affair between a vamp and a witch. I am looking forward to the journey.
Just checked my reserved list at the library and A Dog's Journey by W. Bruce Campbell and Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn are heading my way cross county.
Just finishing up "We Can Build You" by Philip K. Dick.
As with most of PKD's stuff, this would make a great movie!
Washington Irving's Sketch Book. It's wonderful inspiration for any kind of autumnal writing.
(I'm gearing up for October and apple cider and sweater weather and Halloween and colorful leaves and everything autumn already. I'm ready for August to be overwith.)
I am reading The Incredible Shrinking Man by Richard Matheson. I haven't read much yet, but I'm enjoying it.
I'm reading a book by Carolyn Hart and I'm bored with it because it's got that damn womanish feel to it that I just don't like. I need some stank in my reading . . .hahahahahaaa! I can't even think of the name of the book and don't even feel like checking so I can post the title.
I'm re-reading The Stand.

The Kardashians
Kim Kardashian Won a Grammy? You Heard That Wrong
There was quite a bit of confusion at the 2013 Grammy Awards on February 10, when the winner was announced for Best Classical Instrumental Solo. "Kim Kardashian? We didn't even know she knew how to play the viola!"
Nope, you just misheard, but you can't be blamed if you did. The winner is actually Kim Kashkashian, a violist from Detroit who won the award for her solo album, Kurtag/Ligeti: Music for Viola.
However, the classical musician does have one thing in common with Kim — they're both Armenian Americans. Guess that explains the freaky similarity in their surnames! Still, it would have been pretty cool if both Kanye West and Kim had scored matching gold gramophones.

"What's the best way to get gems for forked repos?"
There was quite a discussion on this. The specific issue is that the team is trying to use Compass (Chris Eppstein gave a talk on Compass at Pivotal on 3/18-look for the future video on our Talks Page.) For the moment, since compass depends on the edge version of sass you must first manually install sass before installing the compass gem.
- One suggestion was to submit a fix for the gem. This is not a good solution in this case since the new version of sass/haml is expected to be released soon, fixing compass and simplifying its installation.
- Pivotal will likely host its own internal gem server at some point to deal with issues like this.
- The Has My Gem Built Yet? service might be useful in some situations, but not for this specific problem.


text: DigiTech, an offshoot of John Johnson and David DiFrancesco's DOD Electronics, was one of the first companies to develop digital effects for guitarists, and initially made its reputation with the DSP128, the first multi-effects processor, revolutionary in its ability to use three effects at once. They followed this with the IPS33, the first successful intelligent harmonizer for musical instruments. It was with the introduction of the original Whammy Pedal in 1990, though, that they really broke through with an effect that's still sought after in the vintage market, as well as still in production in its fourth generation.

Shannen Doherty Calls 911 to Save Suicidal Fan
If Shannen Doherty isn't careful, she's going to ruin her bad girl reputation.
Demi Moore is usually the one saving suicidal fans on Twitter but, this time, Shannen made an attempt to play heroine, calling 911 after a fan in New Jersey threatened, on Twitter, to kill herself.
TMZ shared the story last month and updated with a tape of the 911 call, in which Shannen has trouble coming up with the words to explain the problem: "This is going to sound incredibly strange ... my name is Shannen Doherty and I'm an actress. I'm on Twitter, sadly, and there is a girl that is threatening to shoot herself and she lives somewhere over there."
Officers went to the fan's home and the 27-year-old woman was reportedly fine and had no real intention of actually harming herself. At the end of the 911 call, the dispatcher shared how his co-workers were obsessed with the 90210 alum.
So the call wasn't a total waste — Shannen attempted to save a life, and got some love from other fans. Go, Brenda, go!

Speaking to the press recently in an interview trascribed by Tom Ngo at 5thround.com, White said that Hall understands, and that the remarks lit a fire
[I've been] very critical [of Hall]," said White. "He sent me a text and said, I appreciate what you said, it lit a fire under me. I said, It better.
[We didn't talk beyond that brief text message]. What else do you say to the guy? I care about the kid, I like him. Hes one of the nicest human beings you could ever meet, therein lies the problem. It really is part of the problem. He has no killer instinct, whatsoever.
White had no explanation for how Hall sent four profession four promising professional fighters to the hospital, without a killer instinct.
I have no idea! said White when asked. And it wasnt like he had killer instinct on the show, he was catching guys with some good s---. Everybody was saying s--- about Uriah Hall. Everybody was talking about that kid. People were saying, We want to see him versus Anderson Silva. Thats how much hype there was behind Uriah Hall.
After his second consecutive loss, White said he had to think about whther he would rlease Hall from his contract. He apparently thought about it, and now fights Chris Leben on what promises to to be the biggest card in UFC history - December 28 at UFC 168.

"I have never met a teacher who was a great teacher who did it for the money."
No truer words were ever spoken. Thank you Guilford County Board of Education Chairman, Alan Duncan for saying in the Greensboro News and Record editorial what most of us know and don't say enough.
I had many great teachers. But one was extra special. Eva Williams.
The year was 1969. Bob Scott was Governor. And I was a first grader in New Hanover County at a school that has since burned and been rebuilt, Bradley Creek Elementary. Times were turbulent with the end of segregation and the challenge of school integration. In 1971, Governor Scott sent the National Guard into the city, and racial violence made national headlines.
As a little first grader, I waited with my Mom to meet my first teacher. Enter Mrs. Williams, 41, a veteran teacher from the segregated schools in downtown Wilmington. Sadly, some parents gasped and cried. My Mom, who was the same age as Mrs. Williams, did not. Mrs. Williams, a woman with a huge friendly smile, beautiful black skin and brightly colored clothes, immediately captured my attention. I was mesmerized by her voice, her clothes, her smile and her very presence.
By the end of the first week, we were absolutely in love with this woman, our teacher. She drove 16 miles a day from her home in downtown Wilmington to our school near Wrightsville Beach. She taught us the basics and so much more.
Mid-year, I became very ill. After three days, I had emergency surgery for an acute appendicitis and peritonitis. While in ICU at New Hanover County Memorial Hospital, there was young man lying in the bed beside me. He was a sixteen year old boy shot in some downtown violence by a stray bullet. One of my first visitors was Mrs. Williams, who brought her Pastor and her Church. They prayed for us and our City. We were two kids in a hospital fighting for our lives, from different parts of Wilmington, brought together.
Every day my teacher drove an additional 10 miles after school to bring me a gift and to teach me what she taught our class that day. Under the tutelage of Mrs. Williams and my Mom, I learned beyond the required. Because of Mrs. Williams, to this day, I love math. I learned the lessons of civil rights and humanity far beyond my years. This incredible teacher encouraged my classmates to write me heart-felt get well wishes each day.
They are bound in a book that I cherish. The handwriting on the three-line paper composed with the fat pencils is neat and clean because that's how she taught us. My classmates looked out for me when I returned to school. Because of Mrs. Williams, I know public school teachers have no limits in their love of teaching and care for their students beyond the requirements of core subjects. And, I know they teach us important lessons in life.
When I left the Hospital and recovered at home, she came to my home. And, when it was time to move onto second grade, she is the person who advocated for me to Dr. Heyward Bellamy, Superintendent of the New Hanover County Schools, that despite my excessive absences for the illness, I was far beyond first grade essentials in social interactions and the basics of reading, writing and math. Dr. Bellamy listened to Mrs. Williams, and I went on to the next grade, never forgetting my special teacher who taught me to care, learn, and advocate for others.
No one reimbursed Eva Williams for those miles she drove. No one reimbursed Eva Williams for the extra hours she worked. She loved teaching.
Years later, in 1994 after I received two degrees from UNC and while working with Bob Scott and Bill Friday at the Rural Center, I told them the story of my teacher, Mrs. Williams.
Bob Scott was the Governor who unified the University of North Carolina University System. He appointed Sammie Chess Jr. as the first African-American Superior Court judge, and he challenged President Richard Nixon to prove his opposition to involuntary school busing by ordering the U.S. Department of Justice to intervene in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school desegregation case. Bill Friday led the universities through the turbulence of the1960s and 1970s, including a lawsuit with the federal government over desegregation and university unification.
In 1994, I was the executive producer and creator of the "Rural Tele-Forum" at the Rural Center. In partnership with the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and the Community College System where Gov. Bob Scott was President, the state's first Rural Tele-Forum was a live video teleconference that brought together nearly 850 people at five sites for a first-hand lesson in telecommunications. Bill Friday was the moderator. The person sitting on the front row in the room at UNC Wilmington was Eva Williams.
Later that same year, I was sworn into local elected office, and not surprisingly the people who documented their congratulations to me in writing were Bob Scott, Bill Friday and of course, Eva Williams. How fortunate I know I am for the intersection of these three education heroes in my life.
The editorial asks, "What greater resource is there than an excellent teacher?" None. I have never met a teacher who was a great teacher who did it for the money. And I never will. Our North Carolina teachers have great effects on our lives, beyond the basics they are required to teach. No salary can ever compensate them for the lives they inspire but they can be paid fairly for the professional job they do each and every day.

UT provost debuts play with Glacity CollectiveWritten by John Dorsey | | firstname.lastname@example.com
William McMillen is a man of many passions. As provost and executive vice president of academic affairs for the University of Toledo he is committed to higher education and in his downtime he is just as passionate about the written word.
McMillen's personal quest for creativity recently led him to pen a new play for the Glacity Theatre Collective. The play, "Exhibition," is set to open in the University's Center for Visual Arts at 8 p.m. Jan. 27.
The production features Brian Purdue, Starr Chellsea Cutino, Ben Pryor, Jennifer Lake, Pamela Tomassetti and Dave DeChristopher (a Toledo Free Press contributor). Cornel Gabara is directing for the company.
According to a news release, "The play is composed of three scenes that focus on a couple, Sharon and Raymond, at key points in their married life: their engagement, in the midst of raising children, and after the children have grown and gone. Each of the three couples is played by a different pair of actors, and, though the characters at the focus of each scene are not aware of it, their older/younger selves are also onstage, providing depth and nuance to each story as it unfolds in real time under the disinterested eye of a security guard."
"The set for the piece is extremely simple, just a bench in front of a painting, yet I think this is a very challenging play for the audience, with all of the characters interacting at the same time," McMillen said.
McMillen, who is originally from Wisconsin, first got his start as a writer while in graduate school at Ohio University in Athens where he majored in English/creative writing and minored in theater. Exhibition marks his debut as a produced playwright.
"One of the reasons why I wrote this particular play is that I've always been interested in family relations. I thought Glacity was a good fit for the play because I had been following their productions, and I really admire theater that goes outside the mainstream. This is a different theater experience in a different setting, but that's a good thing. Theatre can be funny, it can be song and dance, it can be serious; that's the beauty of it."
Additional performance dates are Jan. 28, 29 and Feb. 3, 4, 5. Sunday matinees will begin at 2 p.m., Friday and Saturday shows begin at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 at the door and may be purchased at www.glacity.tix.org. Jan. 29 is a "Pay What You Can" matinee. The Center for Visual Arts is located at 620 Grove Place next to the Toledo Museum of Art.

The holiday season has arrived, and surely you are busy with all the typical "hustle and bustle" of the season. It may seem impossible to even consider adding another thing to your TO DO list. But maybe there is room to end the year with a final generous act (keeping those affected by PE/HELLP in mind) while you enjoy time with friends and family.
---Donate to PF in honor of someone
---Make room for new toys and gifts by taking old items to consignment and then donating sales income to PF
---If you host a dinner or party, remind guests to bring loose change and coins for a "Pennies for a Purpose†collection jar to benefit PF
---Check out local holiday bazaars or store-fronts and ask to host a bake sale table with proceeds going to PF.
---Use GoodSearch.com when shopping on-line. Change your search engine to GoodSearch.com. Select "Preeclampsia Foundation" as the charity of choice. PF will receive revenue every time you search for gifts, store locations, or any other topic.
---Use GoodShop.com to make holiday purchases (800 popular stores) and PF will receive a donation on portions of every purchase.
---If you are more ambitious this time of year, consider a Cocktail Party or Casino Night with a donation fee collected.
Tips and guidance is available to help keep planning simple. Click the FUNDRAISING link found on the home page to see more info. Or send inquiries to me at firstname.lastname@example.com or to Jodie at firstname.lastname@example.com

Wine racks: Wall Wine Rack, Wrought Iron Wine Racks, Stemware Rack, Countertop Wine Rack
Wine racks come in many different shapes and sizes. What kind of wine rack do you want? Do you want to save space with your wine rack? A wall wine rack might be ideal for space saving wine rack storage and stemware storage. Wine racks come in many different styles. Decorative wine racks, like a countertop wine rack can be stylish as well as functional. For the wine lover, a wine rack is a necessity. However, there is no reason why wine racks cannot be decorative as well. Wall mounted wine racks also can be stylish as well as functional. A wall mounted wine rack can be a modern wine rack. A contemporary wine rack is not the style of wine racks you saw your grandmother use. Home bars & wine racks go hand in hand. Find the perfect wine butler or under cabinet wine rack for your home bar. Don't forget the stemware. Get an under cabinet wine glass rack to go with that corner wine cabinet. Stemware storage is just as important as the wine racks when it comes to preventing chips or breaks. A stainless steel wine rack holds up to a lot of use. Discount wine racks can be durable, but don't let price be the only factor. How easy is it to clean the wine racks you plan on using, wether they are wall mounted wine racks or a countertop wine rack. A decorative wine rack should also be easy to clean. Don't let the decorative elements get in the way of keeping the wine rack clean. A modern wine rack typically has a sleek look. A contemporary wine rack looks great on a home bar countertop. Home bars & wine racks should coordinate with the overall look of the room you are staging as your home bar. Wherever you decide to keep your wine racks, consider how heat and light impact long term wine rack storage. Temperature and darkness are key elements to long term wine rack storage.

Sunday, July 26, 2009
We are settled into our new apartment, as you all know, and oh ever so happy to be here. Do we miss our old apartment, the one that we so lovingly renovated to our own taste and lived in for 5 years? No! Our new building and neighborhood are wonderfully quiet and relaxing, our floor-to-ceiling French windows are flung open to catch the breeze and let in today's gorgeous summer light. I am slowly getting used to working in our tiny galley-sized kitchen and only pause for a second or two as I try and remember where each baking utensil, measuring cup, mixing bowl or cake pan has been stashed.
And it has been an incredibly busy time since our move, what with unpacking and shuffling everything we own from one end of the apartment to the other until everything has found its place, waving our arms, stomping our feet and screaming over the telephone trying to correct the errors made by the phone/internet/tv, insurance and parking garage companies (are we the only people who have ever moved in this city?), struggling to keep up my blog and get back into the swing of visiting all the other food blogs on my list and now with a visit from the lovely Clare.
In the midst of all the craziness, I was honored with a food blog award by a fellow food blogger. Now I ask you, what draws people to each other, what makes us take the first step, say the first friendly word, and decide that we have everything needed to becoming good friends, no matter the distance between? I stumbled upon the fun food blog Mom's Cooking Club and found a fellow Floridian named Jamie who owns not one but two Boston Terriers. That was all I needed! We had too much in common for us not to become foodie friends! And just before I moved, while I was at the height of my craziness and angst, she awarded me the Kreativ Blogger Award! Thank you, Jamie! It really made everything worth while!
So here are the rules :
1. Thank the person who nominated you for this award.
2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
3. Link to the person who nominated you for this award.
4. Name 7 things about yourself that people might find interesting.
5. Nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers.
6. Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.
7. Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know they have been nominated.
I am passing on this award to 7 food blogs and these deserving food bloggers :
Lien of Notitie Van Lien (Lien's Notes)
Ilva of Lucullian Delights
Heavenly Housewife of From Donuts to Delirium: My Life as a Housewife
Simone of Junglefrog Cooking
Deeba of Passionate About Baking
Mary of One Perfect Bite
Sophie of Sophie's Foodiefiles
I love these food blogs and the women behind all of them are great and truly creative!
And you really want to know 7 things about me that you don't already know?
1. I spent over 5 years researching my genealogy and organized 2 huge family reunions with all of the formerly unknown relatives I discovered.
2. I have a degree in Psychology with a minor in Art History.
3. I do not wear gold jewelry.
4. I "collect" Opera Houses, trying to see an Opera everywhere I go; Palais Garnier in Paris , La Scala Opera House in Milan, The National Opera House in Budapest, the Nantes Opera and the Metropolitan Opera House in NYC.
5. I bumped into Andy Warhol on a street in NYC. My husband and I have a running competition of who saw the most famous person on the street, in airplanes, etc.
6. I love chocolate-covered marshmallow Santas, Easter Bunnies and Valentine's Hearts.
7. I still refer to (and think of) my mom's house in Satellite Beach where I grew up as "home".
Now it's your turn, ladies. Enjoy the award!
Clare and I spent hours racking our little brains for what we could bake for this month's Bread Baking Day challenge. I participate in this great bread event created by Zorra of 1x umrühren bitte every month and just didn't want to miss it. This month's challenge BBD #22 is hosted by Stefanie of Hefe und mehr and she has invited us over for a potluck breakfast, sweet breads only, thank you very much. This is perfect as I only eat sweet for breakfast!
We thought long and hard, pushing aside the thought of bringing Clare's No-Knead Bread because seeing this fabulous bread it is hard to imagine that it is actually amazingly sweet! But she and I put our heads together, one so dark, the other so blond, and decided to bake a Plum Cake.
Again, names can be deceiving. The base of this cake is a very slightly enriched, barely sweet bread dough, pushed into a pan, topped with whatever seasonal fruit you like, snuggling down deep into the soft bread dough under a cozy blanket of not-too-sweet crumble topping. Eaten warm from the oven, the dough is tender yet dense like the perfect slice of homemade bread, the greengages that we had chosen bursting out in a sweet, tangy flavor sensation, the crunch of the chopped pecans in the crumb topping adding a wonderful texture and nuttiness to this ideal of all breakfast treats.
Straight from Nigella Lawson's How to be a Domestic Goddess (and aren't we all just a little bit Domestic Goddess, after all?)
Dough :
1 ½ tsps rapid-rise yeast
2 ¼ cups (280 g) white bread flour + more as needed
½ tsp salt
2 Tbs sugar
¾ cup + 2 Tbs (@215 ml) milk, tepid
1 medium or large egg, beaten
2 Tbs (30 g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
Filling :
1 ¼ lbs (600 g) plums, we used greengages (Reine Claudes) *
1 – 3 Tbs sugar **
Crumble Topping :
1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
scant ½ cup (80 – 100 g) light brown sugar
½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, diced or cut in pieces
1 cup walnut or pecan pieces, very coarsely chopped
* Any fruit will do, whatever is in season, always pitted, sweet, tart or mild. We happened to stumble upon a fruit stall at our market with the most flavorful, sweet greengage plums and scooped them up! I so want to try this with pitted, halved cherries. In the winter, apples will be great!
** Nigella Lawson calls for 3 tablespoons sugar and I thought that this was outrageous! I wouldn't want to cover up or drown out the beautiful sweetness and rich, full flavor of the plums with sugar. Use your discretion. How sweet do you want it and how sweet is the fruit that you are using? We stirred less than a tablespoon into the greengage plums.
Make the dough :
Place the yeast, flour, salt and sugar into a large mixing bowl. Slowly pour in the warm milk, stirring. Add the beaten egg and the cubes of very soft butter and, using a wooden spoon, stir until you have a well-blended, sticky dough.
Turn out onto a well-floured work surface. As we felt that our dough was much too soft and gloppy, we stirred in just enough flour until it was at least slightly workable and would hold together rather than slither all over the work surface.
Knead by hand for 10 minutes, adding flour a little at a time until you have a beautiful, soft, silky and satiny dough that barely sticks to the work surface. (Don't forget that different flours absorb liquid differently, so just feel your way).
Place in a lightly buttered glass bowl, cover with a clean dish towel and allow to rise for 1 hour at room temperature.
Prepare the filling :
Toss the halved and pitted plums into a bowl with a bit of sugar (see note above about quantity). Set aside to infuse.
Make the crumble topping :
Combine the flour with the sugar in a medium mixing bowl, then work the butter in with your fingers (I find it easier and more enjoyable to use softened butter for this and I like the results better) until you have worked in all the butter and have pea-sized clumps of dough. Stir in the coarsely chopped nuts and set aside.
Put it all together :
Preheat the oven to 375° F (190°C). Butter a 9 x 13-inch (23 x 33 cm) baking or roasting pan.
Knock down the dough with your knuckles and put in the baking pan. Using your fingers, push out the dough to fill the pan, pushing up the sides to form a lip all around. Make sure the dough is even across the bottom of the pan.
Top the dough with the plums, cut sides up, then sprinkle with the nutty crumble topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the dough is risen, the edges golden brown all the way around, the fruit meltingly tender and the crumble golden.
As this is really a bread dough, not sweet at all, and the topping is not overly sweet either, all of the rich, tart flavor comes from the fruit and is really the ideal breakfast food. Cake or bread, whatever you call it, serve this delicacy with hot coffee and milk. Just slice and pass it around.

I was sent a message today from someone using a service called MapMSG. Curious about what the service was, I clicked the link. Upon arrival the great Google Maps satellite image of the Eiffel Tower came into view, steadying itself like I was sitting in a helicopter. Just then letters in smoke began to emerge from the tip of the tower. The beacon spelled out the message to me informing me of the MapMSG service. It was probably the most creative way someone has informed me of their use of the Google Maps API. Interested to see how messages are sent I began the process of choosing where in the world I wanted my message to be sent out from and using the draggable map pin feature in the API, I was able to drag it exactly where I wanted. I continued on with my message to you.. here it is!

USDA Seeks Comments on Evaluation of the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Status of Czech Republic and Sweden
April 6, 2010
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is advising the public that it has prepared an evaluation of the animal health status of the Czech Republic and Sweden relative to the H5N1 subtype of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). The evaluation presents its assessment of the HPAI H5N1 detection, control and eradication measures in place in the Czech Republic and Sweden following the outbreaks of HPAI in Sweden during 2006, and in the Czech Republic during 2007, as well as its assessment of the present status of the Czech Republic and Sweden with respect to HPAI H5N1. The evaluation is being made available to the public for review and comment. If, after the close of the comment period, no additional risk factors can be identified that would indicate that domestic poultry in the Czech Republic and Sweden continue to be affected with HPAI H5N1, those regions will be removed from the APHIS list of regions affected with HPAI H5N1.
This action is published in today's April 6 Federal Register.

OK - I know I am not the only one in the world to have this issue, so I need reassurance from all of you!
I have been so thirsty - I mean THIRSTY! I realize that I am pregnant and nursing, but I drink constantly throughout the day and never feel as though I am quenching my thirst. My problem is that I have a hard time with drinking water all the time. It makes me feel nauseated and super full if I drink too much. I have been substituting with gaterade. My OB knows my issue and says that as long as I am not vomitting, I am hydrated enough.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Has anyone experienced this?

GAYS CREEK — For the last three days workers with the Kentucky Division of Forestry have been battling a fire that as of Monday has burned over 600 acres of woodland throughout the Gays Creek community.
According to crews on scene, it appeared as though someone set a fire close to the road on Stable Fork which then spread. Currently, the the fire is under control with much of the fire being out completely.
The charred earth stretches from the top of the mountain on Ky. 28 in Gays Creek down to the Eagles Landing Camp Ground, and from Stable Fork to Buckhorn Lake.

if only this could happen under different circumstances!
Well for those of you who read my intro thread, i mentioned that i gained 30 lbs in about 3 weeks. Well since then ive lost 15 of it in a day! I must confess im now totally confused about pre-e. I hope i get more answers next week. My BP has been normal most of the times that ive checked it, except for the times i check it at night, then it was 130/85, not quite as high as it had been, but a consistent normal for me is 110/60 or 70. [?] i dont know what up now. although since my docs appt i have made it a point to do little to nothing. I dont have classes (college) after wed so ive just stayed home and rested.
Next week i find out results hopefully of blood work and 24 hour urine thingie. Sigh, i just wish i knew what was up one way or another. for now, im almost scared to exert myself for fear of raising the BP too high again. Sorry....that was sort of a rant. but if ya read the whole thing, thanks for reading.

Gustaffson Leaves Alliance Training Center
*NOTE: Translated from Swedish"It's time to come home"
After feat brawl - now moves "The Mauler" home
"COSTS TOO MUCH," Alexander Gustafsson no longer need to stay in the U.S. to train with the best.
Alexander Gustafsson is a boxer who went to San Diego to learn how to wrestle. Less than two weeks ago he wrestled down the world's best. Now he moves again.
- It's time to come home, he says.
The loss against Phil Davis 2010 was a rude awakening for Alexander "The Mauler" Gustafsson. His wrestling could not compete with the best and he decided to join David Alliance Gym in San Diego. Three years later he became the first ever to wrestle champion Jon Jones in a match he subsequently lost through the verdict . And just like after last loss is the time to move.
- It's time to come home. Now I'm in that stage of my career that I will compete three or four times a year so I can not hold on and go off all the time. It costs too much and it takes too much time away from my family. It's simply not worth it.
It might as well get used to having the whole training camps here in Sweden and create the routine here. Now I am in a position that I can fly in the quality sparring I personally want, that I was not before. It will develop myself even more.
"Can fly in the quality sparring I myself want"
In three years, Gustafsson located their most intense training weeks, just before the match, at Alliance in San Diego. During that time, he has struggled against some of the best in the world, but also with an increasingly obvious homesickness.
- It's been hard, it has. Hard training every day and then be away from their loved ones take their toll. But at the same time it has given me focus, I might as well not shield it.
Can be against close friend
But there is another reason to "Alex" Now deselect Alliance in San Diego. His former slayer and now a close friend Phil Davis.
- We do not train with each other as much anymore. We belong to both the top and that's not a difficult guess that we'll meet again soon. It's not a dream opponent because we are friends but UFC decides that we should meet as we make it, so it feels better to not train together right now.

LAUREL HILL — An engineering firm assisting the city with applying for a road-repairs grant is scoring as many points as it can to secure the funds.
Preble-Rish Inc., which has offices in Fort Walton Beach, Freeport and Santa Rosa Beach, is applying on the city's behalf for Florida Small Cities' $600,000 Community Development Block Grant.
"(The grant) is awarded based on a point system," project manager Clay Kennedy has said. "... You get a hundred points if you have your bid plans, documents and specifications ready at the time you apply for the grant ... the firm's goal is to get the city as many points as possible."
Kennedy is working with a city-appointed citizen advisory task force committee, which would help select potential sites that could use the funding.
This would the third year the city has applied for the grant. Council chairman Larry Hendren has said the firm has looked over last year's paperwork and identified a few omissions and errors.
"I hope history does not repeat itself this time, he said.
"We will be prepared," Kennedy said.
The second CDBG workshop is at 5:45 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7 at city hall.
