1 x jelly roll Moda 'Hushabye' by Tula Pink (23040JR)
1 x jelly roll Moda Basics 'Milk' (9900-98JR)
0.5 yard coordinating fabric for border
fabric for backing & binding
Sorting fabric strips
Sort the 'Hushabye' jelly roll fabrics into:
- 24 x strips for block borders
- 2 x lightest strips for 'lights' for nine-patch blocks
- the remaining strips will be used as 'darks' for nine-patch blocks.
From the 24 strips you have chosen as your block borders, cut 2 x 10.5" lengths, and 2 x 6.5" lengths.
From the 2 lightest strips, cut a total of 28 x 2.5" squares (7 sets of 4).
From the white jelly roll strips, cut 68 x 2.5" squares (17 sets of 4).
From the remaining Hushabye strips, cut 120 x 2.5" squares (24 sets of 5)
Piecing the blocks
A total of 24 blocks is required. All seams are 0.25".
To make the nine-patch block centre, lay out 5 x 2.5" Hushabye squares and 4 light/white squares, in three rows of three. Sew the squares together to make up the rows. Press the seams towards the darker squares.
Sew the rows together to form a nine-patch.
Sew a 6.5" border strip to either side of a nine-patch.
Then sew a 10.5" border strip to the remaining sides of the nine-patch.
Make 24 blocks in this way. The finished block size should be 10.5" square.
Assembling the quilt top
Lay all 24 of the 10.5" blocks out, with 4 blocks across and 6 blocks down. Arrange the blocks until you are satisfied with the layout.
From five white jelly roll strips, cut 18 x 10.5" lengths. Sew the blocks together in six rows of four, piecing a 2.5" x 10.5" white strip between each block.
Take your remaining white jelly roll strips, remove selvedge edges and join short ends together to make one very long, continuous strip.
Measure the width of your rows of blocks. In a perfect world, this measurement will be 46.5".
From the long, white continuous strip, cut 7 x 46.5" strips. Sew the rows together, piecing a 2.5" x 46.5" white strip between each row and at the top and bottom of your quilt.
NOTE: As you sew the rows together, take care that the blocks are vertically aligned. Before joining subsequent rows of blocks, I extend a line from the previous row of blocks through the white tramming, and mark the lower edge with pencil (see picture below). I then pin the next row of blocks to these marks. This ensures your blocks line up perfectly.
Adding the borders
1. Pale blue border
Cut seven 2.5" strips across the width of your 0.5 yard of coordinating fabric. Remove the selvedge edges and join the short ends together to make one long, continuous strip. From this strip, cut two 50.5" lengths and sew to the top and bottom of your quilt. Cut a further two 78.5" lengths and sew to either side of your quilt.
2. White border
From the long, continuous white strip, cut two 54.5" lengths and two 82.5" lengths and sew to the top, bottom and sides of the quilt, as for the pale blue border.
3. Pieced border
From the remaining Hushabye prints and white strips, cut 72 x 2.5" coloured squares and 72 x 2.5" white squares.
NOTE: Be sure at this point to use any small pieces of the white jelly roll before you cut into your long continuous strip. You will need 306" of white to finish the final border. You should have ample, but just double check before cutting!
Starting and ending with a white square, join 15 white squares and 14 coloured squares in an alternating strip. Make two of these strips and add to the top and bottom of your quilt.
Starting and ending with a coloured square, join 22 coloured squares and 21 white squares, as before. Make two of these strips and add to either side of your quilt.
4. Final white border
From the long, continuous white strip, cut two 62.5" lengths and two 90.5" lengths and sew to the top, bottom and sides of the quilt.
Back, quilt and bind your quilt as desired. I used every last inch of fabric to piece the backing.
Belinda Betts of Eucalypt Ridge Quilting brought this quilt alive with her wonderful quilting. The quilting design is called Retro Feathers by Anne Bright.
1 x cute & cuddly 'Sweet Menagerie' nine-patch quilt, approximately 66.5" x 90.5".

A head-on collision occurred between a man and a woman. Both emerged from the scene intact while their cars were totally demolished.
The woman said, "This is quite a predicament. We should drink a toast to celebrate this miracle."
The man replied, "What a great idea; I just happen to have a bottle with me." The man downed half the bottle and handed it to the woman. The woman would not take it.
She said, "I think I will wait until after the police arrive to celebrate."

|An old-fashioned casserole, probably patterned as a way to use Sunday's leftover roast chicken, is combined with a creamy sauce, mushrooms and egg noodles, for one of my favorite comfort foods.
Old Fashioned Chicken Noodle CasseroleOld Fashioned Chicken Noodle Casserole is one of those good, ole, standby recipes common to many of us, no matter where we live - a basic chicken noodle casserole - the kind that has been around for longer than I have. Simple, easy, yummy and comforting. It's a great casserole for anytime but is especially comforting on those cooler nights that are coming up.
Chicken casseroles always taste better to me using dark meat, or a combination of both white and dark meat. In September, I purchased the big 11-pound box of bone-in chicken breasts from Angel Food Ministries, plus the basic box came with 4 pounds of thighs, so I used some of those chicken breasts here.
You can speed up prep time with this casserole by using a fully cooked, rotisserie chicken from the deli of course.
Looking for the stovetop version of old fashioned homestyle chicken and noodles? We've got that too - just click right here!
If you think this sounds yummy, I'd sure ♥ it if you'd click to pin it, tweet it, stumble it, or share it on Facebook to help spread the word - thanks!

Recipe: Old Fashioned Chicken Noodle Casserole©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 15 min |Cook time: 25 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 3 cups of chopped, cooked chicken
- 2 cups of dry egg noodles, cooked
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 stalk of celery, chopped
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1/2 pound of fresh mushrooms or equivalent canned mushrooms
- 2 cups of milk
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Couple dashes of white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of poultry seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 to 2 cups of chicken stock or broth, as needed
- 1/2 cup dried bread crumbs or crushed crackers
- 1 to 2 tablespoons of butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter or spray a 2 quart casserole dish; set aside. Cook the noodles al dente, about 1 minute less than the package directions, drain and set aside. In a large skillet, melt the butter. Add the celery and onion and cook until soft. Add the mushrooms and cook down, or if using canned, drain and add, warming through.
Whisk together the milk and cornstarch until well blended. Stir into the vegetable mixture and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer several minutes, until thickened. Stir in the salt, pepper, poultry seasoning and thyme. Add the chicken and noodles and mix; stir in reserved broth as needed to moisten. Turn out into the buttered casserole dish.
Combine bread crumbs and melted butter and sprinkle on the top of the casserole. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
Cook's Notes: Use dark meat or mixed chicken if possible. A deli rotisserie chicken makes for an easy job of this, but if you cook your own chicken reserve the broth to use here. One whole chicken will yield between 3 and 4 cups of cooked chicken.
May substitute one can of condensed cream of mushroom soup and one can of condensed cream of chicken (okay to use reduced sodium or healthy versions), plus 1/2 cup of sour cream, for the homemade sauce. Omit the cornstarch and chicken broth, and reduce the milk to about 1/2 cup or enough to moisten the casserole. Great with add-ins such as 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, and/or 1 to 2 cups of vegetables, including broccoli, peas, carrots, mixed veggies, or any combination. Sliced almonds or chopped pecans are a nice add-in and give a little crunch. Top with fried onion (like French's) instead of bread or cracker crumbs.

The Art of Blending: Synergy for Your Health
Each essential oil possesses unique properties which when blended with other complementary oils can have an enhanced effect. Using Wyndmere's therapeutic pure essential oils, you can create a personal fragrance to help improve the quality of your day and positively influence your mood and emotions. Blending is a very personal and creative process that is more art than science. First, determine your intention for the blend such as perfume or massage, body care or cosmetic. Start with a few basic oils like Lavender, Peppermint, Ylang Ylang or Sandalwood.
Take your time getting to know the oils, how they might smell to you in the morning versus the evening, and learn more about how they may affect your physical or emotional health. Mix and match the oils based on their properties and the result you desire, adding a drop at a time. Make certain you keep account of the amount used for each oil in the event you want to duplicate your creation. Let the final concentration set for as long as possible before adding to a carrier oil or lotion as it will become richer with time. Store away from heat and light (best kept in a dark glass bottle).

About Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is a holistic therapy that uses pure essential oils to positively influence the mind and body and to enhance emotional and physical well-being. Essential oils are highly concentrated extracts from the aromatic part of the plant. They are wholly natural molecular substances which when diffused in the air are transmitted to the part of the brain that controls memory and emotional response. When used topically they are highly effective due to their ability to help stimulate the body's natural ability to heal.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is a holistic therapy that uses essential oils to improve one's health and psychological well-being. Essential oils are highly concentrated extracts from the aromatic parts of herbs, flowers, trees and grasses. Valued for thousands of years, they are totally natural substances that have the ability to positively influence the mind and body.
How are essential oils used?
Because essential oils are highly concentrated, they need to be used with care. Apply them by the drop. The general rule is to dilute them before using topically. They may be diluted in carrier oils, lotions and hair care products, added to a bath, diffused in the air using an aroma lamp or diffuser, or added to water in a spray bottle. Select essential oils with similar properties and blend together to create your own unique aromas.
How long do they last?
Most essential oils will last approximately one to two years or more if properly stored. To preserve your oils, always store them in a tight container in a cool place. Heat will cause the oils to evaporate and the light will alter them chemically, reducing their effectiveness. Citrus oils are an exception; they will start to oxidize after a year. They can be preserved longer with refrigeration or adding vitamin E. There are some oils, such as Patchouli, Vetiver and Sandalwood, that only get better with age.
What is steam distillation?
Steam distillation is the most common way to extract an essential oil. The plant material is placed in the chamber of a still and subjected to concentrated steam; the steam passes through the aromatic capsules of the plant, causing them to release the essential oil. The aromatic steam now carrying the essential oil droplets then passes through a tube surrounded by cold water which causes the steam to condense back to water. Because of a difference in weight, the essential oil and distilled water separate and the oil is siphoned off. The water is collected after this process is referred to as a hydrosol or floral water. The quality of the final products are dependent on the quality of the plant material and the distillation equipment used as well as the skill of the person distilling.
What is cold pressed?
Typically employed on citruses, the essential oil is mechanically pressed out of the rind of the fruit. This method is also known as "expression."
What is an absolute?
The exquisite fragrance of some flowers is spoiled by heat using steam distillation, therefore, other means of extraction are used. An absolute is one of those means and is obtained by immersing the flowers in a solvent (usually hexane) which produces a waxy substance known as a concrete. The solvent is then removed from the concrete resulting in a thick oil known as an absolute which contains the essential oil properties from the flowers.
Can I use essential oils internally?
No. Wyndmere Naturals never recommends internal use of essential oils. Essential oils are very concentrated and, therefore, can be potentially toxic if taken internally. Also, ingesting oil is very dangerous because some of the oils are skin and mucous membrane irritants. Wyndmere's oils are considered therapeutic and research indicates the concentrated nature of pure oils is more effective when used in a room diffuser or applied topically after diluting 1%-3% in a carrier oil.
Can I use essential oils if I'm pregnant?
Yes, however you should do so with caution. It is suggested avoiding the use of essential oils during the first trimester, and then use only a 1% dilution (or less) for the duration of the pregnancy. Oils that are suggested as safe are Geranium, Grapefruit, Mandarin, Neroli, Tangerine and Ylang Ylang.
Are essential oils safe to use on children or the elderly?
Yes, but it is suggested that no more than 1% dilution be used due to children and elderly sensitivities. Examples of oils which are safe to use on children are Chamomile Roman, Lavender, Myrtle, Neroli, Petitgrain and Rose. They can be diffused into a child's bedroom, added to the bath, or combined with a carrier oil or unscented lotion and massaged very gently into the skin.
Quality Assurance
The therapeutic quality of an essential oil is affected by many factors. The quality of the plant material is extremely important. Plants that are indigenous to an area are generally of higher quality than those commercially grown elsewhere. The weather and environmental growing conditions affect the quality of the harvest. Oil quality even varies within a growing season if there are multiple harvest times. The elevation at which the plants are grown can affect quality and yield, for example when growing lavender. How and when the plant is harvested and how long it sits before being distilled are also critical factors. For example, the essential oil from Melissa officinalis is lost if the plant sits more than a few hours.
Quality begins with the plant itself. Plants that are thriving in their native habitat, harvested under the proper conditions and extracted by talented and capable distillers will produce the highest quality essential oil. Wherever possible, Wyndmere purchases essential oils extracted from plants that are indigenous and either grown organically, ethically wildcrafted or pesticide free. The company imports oils that are specifically used in hospitals, hospices and by aromatherapists. The oils have been consistently purchased from the same growers since the company's inception. The oils are purchased frequently to ensure freshness and bottled in small batches so they don't sit in a warehouse for long periods of time before being shipped to you. The product labels are informative and include the common name, botanical name and the country of origin. Wyndmere believes customers should know everything about the essential oils they are using for their health and well-being. Wyndmere does not test any of its products on animals, nor do the products contain any animal ingredients.
In addition to the health and vigor of the plant, the talent and capability of the distiller is also an important ingredient in essential oil production. In fact, it is probably more important than the quality of the equipment. The role of the distiller is to extract the oil in a manner which keeps it as close to the chemical composition of the plant as possible. Some brilliant oils can be obtained from some of the most basic equipment if the plant material is excellent and the operator conscientious.
Wyndmere is a green company; they recycle and reuse wherever possible.
Use with care by the drop in diffusers or misters. Dilute properly before use on skin.
How to Use Essential Oils
Because essential oils are highly concentrated, they need to be used with care. Apply them by the drop. The general rule is to dilute them with carrier oils such as jojoba or sweet almond, or an unscented lotion or cream. Select essential oils with similar properties and blend them together to create your own unique aromas and therapies.
Bath: Add no more than 8-10 drops to your bath. Use less if your skin is sensitive. Stir the water briskly to disperse evenly. For a relaxing bath try Lavender, Marjoram, Neroli or Relaxing.
Massage: Add 10-20 drops of essential oils per ounce of carrier oil. Use the lesser amount for sensitive skin, children and the elderly. Mix well.
Inhalation: Put a few drops of undiluted oils on a tissue and waft under your nose as desired. Carry it with you or place the tissue on your pillow at night.
Skin Care: Add 10-20 drops of essential oils per ounce of carrier oil, unscented lotion or cream. Dilute further for children, the elderly, or if skin is sensitive. Mix well before using.
Hair Care: Add essential oils of choice to unscented natural shampoos and conditioners. Use 10-20 drops per ounce. Choose oils specific for your hair type. Mix well before using.
Freshen Rooms: Essential oils make ideal room fresheners. Add 20 drops per ounce of water in spray mist bottle. Place undiluted oils in a diffuser or add to a simmering potpourri pot with water. Replenish as necessary.
In the Bedroom - Put a few drops on a tissue and place near your pillow at night. For relaxation try Lavender, Marjoram or Roman Chamomile, Relaxing or Sleepy Time. To create a romantic mood try Ylang Ylang, Rose, Jasmine, Patchouli, Flirtation or Romantic Nights. Try Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Basil, Niaouli, Tea Tree, or Breathe Blend to help with congestion.
In the Kitchen - Put a few drops of Lemon and Eucalyptus in your soft soap by the kitchen sink. Mix well. Use Lemon, Eucalyptus, Lavender, Bacteria Fighter or Household Purifier in rinse water when wiping the table or working surfaces. Add any of the citruses to your dishwater for a natural zing. Soak your washcloths and dishtowels in a mixture of Lemon, Lavender and Tea Tree before washing.
House Plants: To fight aphids naturally, spray your plants with a mixture of water and a few drops each of Basil and Lemongrass.
Laundry: Add a few drops of your favorite scent to the final rinse. Make sure you add oils to the water and never directly on the clothes. Dry on low heat. Or, put oils on a clean cloth and include with other items in the dryer.
Car: Use Peppermint, Grapefruit or Rosemary to help you stay alert. Add Road Rage Relief to a car diffuser or to help you manage anger and irritations associated with commuting.
More suggestions from Wyndmere customers:
For every ounce of carrier oil, use the following as a general guideline for the desired essential oil percentage:
For Wyndmere oils already diluted 10% in Jojoba:
To further dilute to a recommended 3% therapeutic level, add a full bottle (10ml) of "diluted in Jojoba" essential oil to one ounce of desired carrier oil or lotion.
Keep out of the reach of children and away from eyes. Highly concentrated. Always dilute before use. For external use only.
Safety/Precautions: Essential oils and synergistic blends are for external use only. Call the Poison Control Center if ingested. Do not use them directly on the skin. Always dilute in a carrier oil or unscented lotion before using topically. Test on a small patch of skin first. Keep oils tightly closed and away from children. Essential oils are not to be used without seeking medical advice if pregnant, epileptic, or if you have high or low blood pressure. Always keep away from the eyes. Should oil get into the eyes, wash thoroughly with water for 15 minutes.
Wyndmere never recommends internal use of essential oils. Essential oils are highly concentrated and can be potentially toxic if taken internally. Also, ingesting oils is very dangerous because some of the oils are skin and mucous membrane irritants. Wyndmere oils are therapeutic grade and research indicates that because of the concentrated nature of pure oils, they are much more effective through inhalation using a room diffuser or topical absorption using a 1%-3% dilution.
Storage: To preserve your oils, store in a cool and dark location. Keep the bottles airtight. Shelf life can be from one year to a couple of years, depending on the oil. A top note citrus oil like Lemon may lose its essence quicker than a base note like Patchouli, which only gets better with time.

I Just Started The Fenugreek I Hope It Works For Me Too Ladies
I Just Started The Fenugreek I Hope It Works For Me Too Ladies
Stephmama rocks my socks.
Another great one that I havn't seen posted here yet is sweet potatoes. My great grandma swore by this and I never really belived her until I had a drop in my milk supply with my 2nd, and thought for the heck of it I'd give it a try, sure enough, milk was VERY plentiful!
I need to go buy some as this boy is sucking me dry over the past couple of days!
I just had a major dip in my supply. I normally pump around 12 oz per day between two pumping sessions. For the past few days, I have been lucky to get 8 oz for the whole day. Yesterday I had to add a third pumping session just to get the 8 oz.
I'm attributing it to either AF coming or the fact that last week I was throwing up and not getting enough food.
So last night I went to GNC and picked up some Mother's Milk tea. This was the first time I've ever had issues with supply, so it was my first thing to try, and this morning I seem to be back on track with my pumping output. So far, I've pumped 6.5 oz with one session.
Make sure you have the right size flange for your pump. I was using a size too small and once I got the right size, my supply increased a little. I am also going to try mother's milk tea (just ordered it) and these cookies (some people swear by them): http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/Oat...rujillo-192346. Hope these work
So I am a little concerned!! I have noticied just today that my supply is dwendling. My babu is only 2 weeks old and has been in the NICU the entire time. We came home yesterday!! I have been putting her to the breast alot more but she is not even 35 weeks yet. So I let her nurse for a max of 10 min each breast and then a bottle afterward because I dont want her to lose weight. I def know that I need to drink more water and make sure I am eating more. Is there anything I should avoid or make sure that I include??? I really wanna keep doing this but I am not evenn pumping 2 oz per session and I pump at least 7 times a day/night!!!
We go see her doc tomorrow so i will ask her but the NICU nurses told me no more then 20 min because she is so small and still learning. She was born at 32weeks and 5 days and is 2 weeks old. Plus, i dont ever stop her from nursing she either falls asleep or gets tired. I try to get her to do the full 20 min but normally whe only makes it 15min.
I also have an appt with the LC from the hospital on Friday. I wanna make sure the flange is big enough and that everything is working fine. I have to give my hospital grade pump back though on Friday. I just hope that my playtex double embrace will do the job!!!
yeah dont let her go over the 15 minutes....it will be counter productive, and she will start burning more energy to eat and the calories she takes in... I started fenugreek (sp?) today I feed Clara for 10 minutes on eat breast then pump afterwards and im still only getting like 80-100ml per session..so Im hoping the fenugreek will increase my supply ..I would ask your pedi about that it was recommended by the LC I have been seeing for Clara..she will be all boobie soon hun! My LC wants me to pump and top Clara off for 1 more week, then she said we can prob do all boobie...good luck!
Andrea(27) DH (30) DS 8/22/08(10 weeks early) ,DD 7/2/10 (5.5weeks early), DD 09/12/12 FULL TERM...3rd TIMES THE CHARM!!!
Well we saw the doc today and she said tops 20 min total because she will start to lose weight if I go any longer. She wants us to keep doing the neosure at least until her due date. Its just to give her more calories to keep increasing her weight!! What ever I am doing is working because when we left the hospital Monday she was 4lbs 7.6ozs and today she is 4lbs 11ozs!!! When I pump after a feeding I get 40-60ml tops!!! And if I just pump I only get 60-70ml!! I have been trying to up the water intake and I am gonna try the oatmeal thing!! Plus I am gonna try carnation instant breakfast twice daily on top of my normal food. Just trying to increase my calorie and fluid intake!! We shall see!!
Hello! I am not BDing (still TTC) but just wanted to share what my mom & most elders I know from the Philippines have been advising new moms about this. When I do get there I will be trying this too. Moringa leaves. For those who have access to Asian stores, just boil it and drink it like tea. Fresh leaves might be hard to find but I know there are pills and dried
leaves available online. Also, this is not only good for breast milk production but it has a lot of healthy benefits too. My co-worker drinks moringa juice called Zija. But like i said earlier there are other forms like pills and dried leaves.
Anyone here tried moringa?

Since I have return to work, I haven't been able to pump much breast milk and my supply is down. I use to pump about 60-80 ml(3-4 oz) each feedings for Autumn while at home on postpartum stay. Now, I only get less then an 1 oz. Does that mean I am drying up and I cant get my breast milk back? I am trying Lactation blend (2 days), and that Mother milk tea and intaking a lot of fluids for the last two days but its not helping. Any pills out there that you can help with bringing my milk supply back? Or its too late since I'm pumping less than an 1 oz? Any suggestions or advices is welcome. Thanks!
Not too late! Keep it up. I had problems with pumping, but plenty of nursing supply. If possible, find a way to directly nurse (maybe at lunch?). Fenugreek needs to be taken with blessed thistle for best effects. Drink tons of water and don't skimp on food! Lots of fats and good natural sugars are needed to make milk. Visualization, meditation, varying pumping speeds can all help. For me, hand expressing worked better than a pump.
If I had to do it over, I would have found a way to stay home until DD was 6 months. I went back to work at 6 weeks
Good luck!

Norwich — Kelly Middle School, damaged by a small fire and extensive water damage early Monday, will reopen today, but more than 200 students will be relocated to makeshift classrooms in staff rooms, the school community room and other locations until the two damaged wings can reopen.
As of late Monday, no cost estimates were available for the damage, although the school system's insurance deductible is $10,000. Insurance company personnel were on the scene Monday and will return Wednesday to assess damage costs, Superintendent Abby Dolliver said.
The fire started at 2:26 a.m., when an older computer in the new second-floor science lab smoldered and burned. Two overhead sprinklers were triggered and sent water cascading onto the floor, into the hallway, down the stairway and through ceilings. Firefighters had to break the glass in the locked classroom door to enter the room.
Fire damage was contained to the computer, but water damage was much more extensive. About 30 classrooms had some water in them. In the dozen most damaged classrooms, ceiling tiles became soaked and collapsed onto desks and floors, and water seeped through walls. In the science classroom directly beneath the classroom where the fire started, water was about a foot deep before crews used pumps and later floor scrapers to direct the water to hallway floor drains.
Connecticut Mastery Tests were scheduled to begin for all students today, but Curriculum Director Joseph Stefon said writing tests for seventh-graders were soaked and must be replaced.
School officials expect to receive replacement tests today and state Department of Education officials gave permission for seventh-graders to take the test Wednesday.
One large preschool class at Kelly also will be affected by the need to relocate classes. School officials had planned to move most preschool classes throughout the city to the recently vacated Bishop School starting next school year. But now the Kelly class will move to Bishop starting Wednesday.
Board of Education Chairwoman Yvette Jacaruso thanked emergency responders and cleanup crews, who worked Monday to get school ready to reopen.
A $40.2 million expansion and renovation was completed a year ago at Kelly. The fire and water damage occurred mostly in the new two-story science classroom wing. Jacaruso said the new sprinkler system worked as planned, dousing the fire quickly and limiting fire and smoke damage.
But the sprinklers must be turned off manually by fire officials once they are assured the fire has been extinguished. School Business Administrator Athena Nagel estimated more than 6,000 gallons of water sprayed from the sprinklers.
Crews from G. Schnip Construction, which built the expansion, electrician DEF Wiring Services, Standard Sprinkler Corp. and Servicemaster were at the school Monday assessing damage and starting repairs.
Taftville Fire Chief Timothy Jencks said firefighters responded to the school for a fire alarm call. When they looked at the alarm panel, they noticed that numerous smoke detectors had been set off.
As fire crews investigated, they discovered smoke and water in the hallways in the science wing on the upper floor. Jencks said water was seeping down the hallways and cascading down the stairs onto the first floor as firefighters laid out salvage covers to protect computers on the first floor. Jencks said power to that part of the building had to be shut off.
Nagel said the computer was turned off, and was plugged into a surge protector — "like all the others." The city fire marshal's office is investigating the cause of the fire.

Over the four day Memorial Day weekend in Chicago, ten people were murdered and another 40 shot. It was the stuff of international headlines.This last weekend in Detroit, only three days long with rain, seven were murdered and 32 shot, and Detroit's four times smaller than Chicago. Not a peep. It's like the violence is becoming an acceptable way of life here.Even still, the City Council voted 7-2 Tuesday not to put a public safety millage on the November ballot. The measure would have funded 500 more cops on the street, but in the end, the City Council savaged Chief Ralph Godbee saying he couldn't manage the police department with the money he has now."I am not convinced that our problem is a lack of manpower issue. I'm convinced that our problem is a lack of an effective management plan issue," said City Council Member Ken Cockrel, Junior."Quite frankly, I take great offense to any assertion that we're not managing our resources well, efficiently, nor deploying them," Godbee retorted. "At some point you can't put lipstick on a pig, and the citizens' reality on the street is they know what they see, and what they don't see are uniformed marked patrol scout cars in visible spaces."We asked Godbee whether he is angry at the way he was characterized running the department?"I take it very personally. I mean, my officers put their lives on the line every day. We're doing more with less.""With the consent agreement, the chief now has the ability to impose work rule changes on the contract, and so let's give that an opportunity to work. He needs to reorganize the police department and deliver services before asking taxpayers to pay more money," said City Council President Pro-tem Gary Brown.Godbee also told us that cutting the cops isn't going to make the crime problem better, and besides we've got deep, deep issues -- equipment, 911, overcrowded jails, overcrowded courts. It's about time some men and women sat down in a room and started figuring this thing out.

I have been waiting to get these in black..... luckily got one and let me just say - the number of compliments i got in one day of using it....really! Very comfortable.....feels like it rocks you to walk, skid resistant and fit is true to size. You just have to air it out a bit after you open the box coz it kinda smelled funky but after airing it out....all gone and still pretty! I'd say its worth it! Definitely! BTW, i tried it first for a couple of weeks before i wrote this review so i can definitely say that it will not break easily..... i made it go through so much.......poor boots!
These boots couldn�t be better for $xxx. They fit perfectly over my calves. I have big calves so its good they fit. I am 5'6'' 145-155. They look great with leggings and skinny jeans. No complaints so far.
These boots are the quality of typical imported products. I'm not sure there's any leather on them, although it says suede uppers. They feel like cardboard covered with a layer of some material i cant describe. Very thin soles, I think they will fall apart with very few wearings, and rain.. They run large enough to wear 2 pair of socks. Cute style but thats it. I'm returning them, not worth the price.
Omg these are super cute boots! Ladies, these are NOT keep-your-feet-warm-in-freezing-weather/rain boots. There are other 3 letter Brand name boots for that purpose. These are COMFORTABLE and STYLISH boots to look cute in. :) These look very similar to my SODA boots that i bought at the mall but these are WAY more comfortable. More wiggle room. I'm a size 9 (have been all my adult life) and that's the size i ordered & fit perfectly. These go up to your calves (just below your knee) so there is always that "is it gonna be too tight" worry....but these boots have a SLIGHT stretchy band at the top, right next to the zipper! So IF you need that extra stretch it's there. Like i said, a nice, comfortable fit all around. They have a nice RUBBER bottom (not that fabric stuff that some boots have) so you don't slip and fall on a smooth floor. Oh, and most important, YOU CAN'T BEAT THE PRICE! Hope this info helps.... ENJOY!
These boots are fine for $****, but the material is cheap. Don't plan to wear them a long time and certainly not in bad weather. That being said, they're a nice fall pairing with skinny jeans.
This is for my casual biker look. Love them. They are a suede type of material, light weight and the calf fit is true to size so be sure to measure yourself carefully.
I ordered a 10 WC, and Boy! was it!! Way too big for my 18-inch calf (size 10), but it wasn't as attractive as the pic, toe was kinda . . . clunky, not as graceful as I wanted. Quality seemed okay, and shoe fit was accurate. For the price, it was a good boot, just not what I hoped for.
I love these boots! I have the same ones in camel from last year. I had never ordered shoes offline before as I believe shoes can be difficult to purchase without trying on. I was wrong, so wrong in the case of these boots. They are durable, sturdy and functional without sacrificing looks. They went with everything and I can't wait to start officially wearing boots this fall so that I can get back into them.
These boots are made of a very light-weight faux suede cloth, with a poorly made zipper that got stuck when I tried the boots on. The rubberized heel is extremly thin, offers less support than a pair of flip flops. I returned these immediately.
Had to return because it didn't fit. My daughters foot grew bigger than I expected. Looked good and was nice quality.

Though the old expression claims "it's better to be lucky than good," that's definitely not true when it comes to lottery fraud -- and one Minnesota clerk learned that after he found a way to beat the odds.
Most people probably haven't heard of "microscratching," but it's essentially the scratch-off equivalent of counting cards. While most people can't wait to scratch off every square inch of their favorite lotto ticket, a technique preferred by cheaters can show if a ticket is a winner or loser just by scratching away three tiny numbers.
"He was so good at microscratching that -- literally -- to the naked eye, you cannot determine that there's been any alteration of the game ticket," said Hennepin County Prosecutor Emery Adoradio.
Prosecutors say 34-year-old Mourad Zahi, a convenience store clerk in Hopkins, used the technique to sell losing tickets and keep the winners after taking a sneak peak.
Normally, clerks scan a bar code to confirm if the ticket is a winner -- but there is also a back up code printed behind the scratch off area.
"If it wasn't a winner, he would then sell it to someone else who would come in and buy that losing ticket," Adoradio said.
Lottery officials began investigating Zahi after he sold someone a winning ticket when the prize was already claimed. They also found a large number of attempts to manually validate the same ticket.
"Once they got the tickets outside the store, they were able to look -- using a microscope -- to see that, in fact, those tickets had been microscratched."
After a winning streak that spanned several months, Zahi's luck ran out. He's now charged with five felony counts of cheating and lottery fraud. He was also promptly fired.
Microscratching is so rare, state gambling investigators say they only see a few cases a year because it's usually only done by someone with access to state computers can verify the winning tickets -- like Zahi.
The chief of security for the Minnesota State Lottery says there is usually no reason to be suspicious of where you buy your lottery ticket, but he said you can always ask for a new ticket if there is any doubt.
"When you're buying a scratch ticket, look it over," Doug Wills recommended. "If there are any scratches on there that seem to be out of the ordinary, don't take it. Tell them, 'This ticket doesn't look good. I'd prefer to have another ticket,' and then let us know."

Another day in court Monday for James Holmes, the suspected Colorado gunman will be arraigned for shooting 70 people in a crowded theater -- killing 12.
Legal analysts say Holmes' attorneys will likely use an insanity defense at trial. But his attorney's say, leaks about that package sent to his psychiatrist may have jeopardized his right to a fair trial, saying the notebook contained communications between Holmes and his doctor that should be shielded from public view.
On Friday, attorneys for 24-year-old James Holmes admitted he was a "psychiatric patient" of Dr. Lynne Fenton.
Before the theater massacre, Holmes sent her a notebook with descriptions of an attack, the first indication he may have sought help before the deadly rampage. Dr. Fenton never received that package.
And court documents don't reveal when Holmes began seeing Fenton, or whether he was being treated for a mental illness. Holmes could also face charges for booby trapping his apartment. There will be no cameras in the courtroom when he's formally charged Monday.
More funerals were held over the weekend for those killed during the massacre. Five victims remain in critical condition and 11 others are still undergoing treatment. Meanwhile, the victim-mother of the little 6-year-old girl killed has suffered a miscarriage. Ashley Moser was eight weeks pregnant with her second child when she was shot in the neck and the abdomen.

As a son of the rural south, I have always look forward to spring and all it affords those who love to get into the outdoors to enjoy what the Good Lord has provided.
For me, that always meant that I'm spooling new line on my reels, getting them cleaned and lubricated, checking my tackle boxes taking inventory of what lures need new hooks and skirts and what needs to be replaced. Springtime means that bass, crappie and bream are headed for the shallows to spawn and wild horses couldn't keep me away.Subscribe to Read!

LANSING, Mich. (WJBK) -- Other first ladies in Michigan were close political advisors for their governor husbands, but certainly not Sue Snyder. That's not her job, she said.
While she is his number one supporter, he does the policy stuff and she simply watches. Her job is to tend to the home fires, to be the caretaker-in-chief of the family's three children and her husband. The first lady has zero political ambition.
For example, while others wanted to be in Miami at the National Republican Convention, it was daughter Kelsey who stood next to the governor when Mitt Romney was nominated by the Michigan delegation. So why didn't the first lady want to go?
"To be frank, I didn't want to be in Florida in August," she told me during a WKAR public TV interview.
Well, if she didn't want to go to the convention, did she watch Ann Romney and Michele Obama give their speeches. Oh yeah, she watched, and here are here thoughts on a spouse speaking for their husband.
"I don't feel like I need to speak for him," she said. "I just didn't think it was appropriate because we're not electing them, we're electing the men."
What about this story? The Romney campaign floated Rick Snyder's name as a possible running mate. Sue Snyder said nope.
"Absolutely not. If anything president, but I'm not looking at that, either," she said. "We're getting older. The kids are getting older, and I just really want to enjoy time with my husband and my family and eventually grand kids."
Well, if that was the case, why didn't the governor deny the rumors and kill the story and move on. Turns out there was a hidden agenda. The governor wanted to milk the story to generate some positive vibes for the state. He confessed to that for the first time.
"If you look at it as good marketing for the state of Michigan... I believe in promoting the state of Michigan because we're the comeback state," he said.
And the first lady wanted him to come back home every night and have nothing to do with Washington, and on this one she won.

How to choose an Ergonomic Keyboard Tray
The keyboard tray is the most important component of your workstation. Due to most repetitive stress injuries resulting from computer use. Having the right ergonomic keyboard tray is the largest piece of the puzzle when it comes to your health and well being at a computer work station. A good keyboard tray can make work enjoyable while a bad one may be worse than none at all.
What features should you look for in an ergonomic keyboard tray?
Height adjustment
Be sure to choose a height adjustable keyboard tray. The single most important feature is the ability to adjust the height. Keyboard height is determined by your height and your chair height as well as arm length. Being able to fine tune that and adjust it as you adjust your sitting position throughout the day is essential.
Ergonomic Keyboard Sizing Assistant.
Beware of keyboard drawers. A keyboard drawer is designed to hide your keyboard away, not lend any ergonomic benefit. These drawers are frequently too narrow for you to comfortably position your hand and wrists properly, and do not allow hieght adjustment like an ergonomic keyboard tray – doing more harm then good.
Keyboard Tilt Adjustability
Your new ergonomic keyboard tray needs to be positioned at a comfortable, negative angle that supports the natural posture of your wrists. This angle should be adjusted throughout the day as your posture changes. An example may be whenmoving from an upright posture to a reclined one - your keyboard tray should be quick and easy to tilt. By doing this you can reduce or eliminate the flexion of the wrists, dramatically reducing the risk of Repetitive Stress Injury ( RSI ).
We reccommend against an ergonomic keyboard tray without tilt function. This results in a set angle for your platform, which impedes the ability to fit the workstation ergonomically to your body. Many cheaper systems offer a retractable keyboard tray without this vital feature – buyer beware!
Mousing Position
Ideally the mouse should be placed next to and on the same level as the keyboard, or float over the side of your keyboard tray. Try to mimic the circular arc your lower arm makes when rotating from the keyboard to the mousing side.
The keyboard tray should be able to accommodate the largest keyboard you are likely to use and have the ability to mouse on both the left and right side of the platform. Another great tip is to adjust the mouse sensitivity of your computer's operating system, so less repetitive hand movement is required to move across your computer screen.
The Palm Rest
While you should not rest your palms when typing, wrist and palm rests help you maintain a correct typing position and are helpful during periods where your hands are inactive. Your ergonomic keyboard tray should have palm supports built in. This is another basic requirement for your ergonomic keyboard tray. Avoid settling for a keyboard tray that does not have room for a palm rest. This is an inexpensive piece of your system that should not be overlooked
Keyboard Tray Tracks
The ability to slide the keyboard tray in and out while still at operational height will allow you to scoot closer to or farther from the monitor to relieve eye strain while still maintaining an ergonomically sound setup. Your ergonomic keyboard tray track will also allow you to slide the tray under the work surface when not in use, increasing usable work area space.
We reccommend choosing a ball-bearing track. Your other option, a glide track, may require lubrication over time in order to move smoothly. The glide tracks also have a shorter life span due to friction wear.
Keyboard Tray Stability
Select an ergonomic keyboard tray that is rock solid. You do not want it to wobble or flex when in use. Avoid big-box keyboard trays, they cut costs and use inferior materials. Rule of thumb is the cheaper the keyboard tray the worse the wobble.

Win "Martha's Entertaining: A Year of Celebrations" on the Ehell blog! Entries close May 11th.
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
I read the clerks version and it seems plausible. I've had clerks and others let me know one item is a better value over a different one, which is what the clerk claims she was trying to do.But with limited English I can see it being misinterpreted.My DD and I were at a place last year and a clerk with limited English skills kept telling us "No, No, this one better for you." We were looking at some handmade jewlry and she was trying to indicate the quality of the stone was better in a different one over the one we initially was looking at.
She always annoyed me by the way that she'd have guests on but would hardly let them talk. She's ask questions but then interrupt their answer. "Oh it was a tough movie to make wasn't it?" "Well it was a grueling schedule for sure, and-" "Isn't that the worst when you have a schedule like that? So tell me, how do you truly feel about the message of this movie?" "Well I feel-""Because I think it's a wonderful message!" Might as well just say they're there to give her something to talk to.
I don't think it alwaus will be "yes". If I go ask to test drive a Bently the amswer is unlikely to be "yes". It is likely to be "Thank you for you interest, may we kindly direct you to dealership down the road"There are some businesses that are exclusive. There are some products that are exclusive. There are some restaurants and clubs where "normal" people can't get in for months (if ever) but the name Oprah gets a prime table as soon as the request is made.
I don't think it alwaus will be "yes". If I go ask to test drive a Bently the amswer is unlikely to be "yes". It is likely to be "Thank you for you interest, may we kindly direct you to dealership down the road"
Because I think there are items, purses included, that are meant to be exclusive. The problem in that case would be failure to recognize that Oprah belonged to the most exclusive customer base, not being exclusive. It's a purse that costs more than a lot of cars - I am not surprised to learn that they don't show it to everyone.
In general, there are a variety of cues on both sides that would probably signal that the customer is "exclusive enough".
Perhaps a language barrier prevented Oprah from giving the xies and/or the cashier from picking up on them.
Realiztically these places/products/systems exist. Realistically Oprah has voluntarily participated at least occassionally.She certainly isn't the only one, she won't be the last. I am sure this cashier is not the first to be imperfect as far as the sustem goes, and yet people are still willing to participate.Oprah had a beef because Hermes would not open just for her but it didn't make her say "I guess that the exclusivity thing isn't all it cracked up to be". Now if it is an imperfect system, ss systems tend to be, it is one she has opted in to. There is no evidence that there.were race based issues.
I don't care about Hermes and I don't care about Oprah particularly - I care about etiquette and this clerk failed at it. Nothing in Oprah's checkered past changes that.

Here's the first thing you need to know about holiday shopping for grandparents: We just can't get enough pictures of our grandchildren.
Whether they're printed on Kodak paper or popped in as wallpaper on our iPad screens, grandparents love, love, love looking at those precious faces. Here are a few ideas to get you thinking in the right direction:
1. Photo books
These are available on-line through sites like Snapfish.com, or you can order them when you take your digital images or film to Walgreen's, CVS, Rite Aid, or wherever you order prints. My personal favorite is a 4x6 album that fits into my purse. (Go ahead, ask me about my grandchildren.)
2. Framed photos
Help the kids make a frame using a craft-store kit, or simple materials like heavy cardboard or Popsicle sticks, then fill it with a school photo. MarthaStewart.com has a cute idea for picture frames made out of paper.
3. Photo mugs or key chains
Take it from me, there's no better way to start the day than with the smiling faces of your grandchildren looking back at you. The same is true with key chains, or anything else a grandparent might use every day.
4. Photo t-shirts
Hip, happening grandparents still wear these, and it's easy-as-pie these days to customize them. Michaels has plain t-shirts in a variety of sizes and colors, as well as transfer paper that you can use to print the images from your home computer.
5. Photo keepsake box
A small wooden box with decoupaged photos on the lid looks great on a grandparent's coffee table or dresser. You might even fill it with a few more photos or keepsakes, like a memento from a special trip.

Cervical Cancer
Topic Overview
Is this topic for you?
This topic talks about the testing, diagnosis, and treatment of cervical cancer. For general information about abnormal Pap test results, see the topic Abnormal Pap Test.
What is cervical cancer?
Cervical cancer occurs when abnormal cells on the cervix grow out of control. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina. Cervical cancer can often be successfully treated when it's found early. It is usually found at a very early stage through a Pap test.
Cervical cancer is the second most common type of cancer in women worldwide.1 Women with the highest rates of cervical cancer are those from ages 35 to 39 and those from ages 60 to 642.
What causes cervical cancer?
Most cervical cancer is caused by a virus called human papillomavirus, or HPV. You can get HPV by having sexual contact with someone who has it. There are many types of the HPV virus. Not all types of HPV cause cervical cancer. Some of them cause genital warts, but other types may not cause any symptoms.
You can have HPV for years and not know it. It stays in your body and can lead to cervical cancer years after you were infected. This is why it is important for you to have regular Pap tests. A Pap test can find changes in cervical cells before they turn into cancer. If you treat these cell changes, you may prevent cervical cancer.
What are the symptoms?
Abnormal cervical cell changes rarely cause symptoms. But you may have symptoms if those cell changes grow into cervical cancer. Symptoms of cervical cancer may include:
How is cervical cancer diagnosed?
As part of your regular pelvic exam, you should have a Pap test. During a Pap test, the doctor scrapes a small sample of cells from the surface of the cervix to look for cell changes. If a Pap test shows abnormal cell changes, your doctor may do other tests to look for precancerous or cancer cells on your cervix.
Your doctor may also do a Pap test and take a sample of tissue (biopsy) if you have symptoms of cervical cancer, such as bleeding after sex.
How is it treated?
The treatment for most stages of cervical cancer includes:
Depending on how much the cancer has grown, you may have one or more treatments. And you may have a combination of treatments. If you have a hysterectomy, you won't be able to have children. But a hysterectomy isn't always needed, especially when cancer is found very early.
It's common to feel scared, sad, or angry after finding out that you have cervical cancer. Talking to others who have had the disease may help you feel better. Ask your doctor about support groups in your area. You can also find people online who will share their experiences with you.
Can cervical cancer be prevented?
The Pap test is the best way to find cervical cell changes that can lead to cervical cancer. Regular Pap tests almost always show these cell changes before they turn into cancer. It's important to follow up with your doctor after any abnormal Pap test result so you can treat abnormal cell changes. This may help prevent cervical cancer.
If you are age 26 or younger, you can get the HPV vaccine, which protects against two types of HPV that cause cervical cancer.
The virus that causes cervical cancer is spread through sexual contact. The best way to avoid getting a sexually transmitted infection is to not have sex. If you do have sex, practice safer sex, such as using condoms and limiting the number of sex partners you have.

A 12-game hitting streak has helped boost Steven Ramos' batting average with the State College (Penn.) Spikes to .410 and made him the leading batter in the Class A Short Season New York-Penn League.
Ramos, a 2008 graduate of Tracy High, has 34 hits this season with the Spikes, including four base hits in the Spikes' 4-3 loss to the Lowell (Mass.) Spinners on July 18.
He is the fifth Spikes player this year to have a four-hit game, and his 12-game streak, which was broken with a hitless game against Lowell on July 19, was five games short of the longest hitting streak in the league this year.

Abnormal Pap Test
Topic Overview
What is an abnormal Pap test?
A Pap test, or Pap smear, is part of a woman's routine physical exam. It is the best way to prevent cervical cancer, because it can find cells on your cervix that could turn into cancer. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina.
When your doctor says that your Pap test was "abnormal," it means that the test found some cells on your cervix that do not look normal. It does not mean that you have cancer. In fact, the chances that you have cancer are very small.
What causes an abnormal Pap test?
Most of the time, abnormal cell changes on the cervix are caused by certain types of human papillomavirus, or HPV. HPV is a sexually transmitted infection. Usually these cell changes go away on their own. But certain types of HPV have been linked to cervical cancer. That's why it's important for women to have regular Pap tests. It usually takes many years for cell changes in the cervix to turn into cancer.
Sometimes cell changes in the cervix are due to other types of infection, such as infections caused by bacteria or yeast. These types of cell changes can be treated. In women who have been through menopause, a Pap test may find cell changes that are just the result of getting older.
What increases your risk for an abnormal Pap test?
High-risk sex raises your chances of getting HPV and having an abnormal Pap test. High-risk sex includes having sex without condoms and having more than one sex partner (or having a sex partner who has other partners).
HPV can stay in your body for many years without your knowing it. So even if you now have just one partner and practice safe sex, you could still have an abnormal Pap test if you were exposed to HPV in the past.
Smoking or having an impaired immune system also may raise your chances of having cell changes in your cervix.
Do abnormal cell changes cause symptoms?
The cell changes themselves don't cause symptoms. HPV, which causes most abnormal Pap tests, usually doesn't cause symptoms either. This is why regular Pap tests are so important.
If a different sexually transmitted infection is the cause of your abnormal Pap test, you may have symptoms, including:
What will you need to do if you have an abnormal Pap test?
You will need more tests to find out if you have an infection or to find out how severe the cell changes are. These tests may include:
A colposcopy is usually done before any treatment is given. During a colposcopy, the doctor also takes a small sample of tissue from the cervix so that it can be looked at under a microscope. This is called a biopsy.
Treatment, if any, will depend on whether your abnormal cell changes are mild, moderate, or severe. In moderate to severe cases, you may have treatment to destroy or remove the abnormal cells.

Thank God for Northwest River Supplies (NRS). If you are unfamiliar, just know they�re the river people. They make everything you need for getting on the river and a hundred other products you've never heard of. But when it comes time to get the gear to make a river an adventure, they're your guide, your best buddy and your mother rolled in one. And if that makes no sense to you, we simply mean their products inform, support and provide safe passage for river adventures.
Why thank God? The paddle sports category is an incredibly varied lot and NRS has somehow made sense of it, upgraded it and laid it out in consumable bits. At Altrec, we carry over 500 NRS products. Rafts, kayak paddles, neoprene wetsuit (in every form), dry bags, kayaks, whitewater kayaking and sea kayak pfds, oars and oar locks are among the product quiver that is well too long to list.
While NRS specializes in the gear-intensive world of whitewater rafting, they also provide a comprehensive product offering for whitewater paddling, sea kayaking, recreational kayaking and canoeing.
When buying river gear, simplify by breaking your needs into soft and hard gear categories. Soft gear is literally soft and is specific to clothing, footwear and outerwear. Hard gear is the vessels themselves, as well as paddles, pfd's, first aid kits and the like. The list is long but the essentials to consider, depending on river condition, are:
Soft Gear:
Hard Gear:
Regardless of river endeavor, NRS has you covered. If you have questions or concerns about any of the gear or what it is used for, call or chat with our customer service staff, they are river enthusiasts and get a schooling from NRS every year.
We love NRS because they cover the paddle sports gear universe and do it with fair prices. Take it from the found, Bill Parks: �I've always been a budget boater, and NRS was founded to provide quality equipment without wiping out the wallet.� NRS has held true to this mantra since 1972 and we can all support that.
And another thing we can all support: Buy your NRS gear and apparel at Altrec and we will guarantee it for life.
We're Available:
Mon-Fri: 7:30am-4:00pm PST

As I write this, it's the last full day of campaigning before the election. National polls indicate that candidates Romney and President Obama are running neck and neck, although I have a feeling that not only will Romney win, he will win in a demi-landslide.
But regardless of the vote tally outcome we all want the next four years to be safer, healthier and more prosperous for 100 percent of Americans, both at home and abroad. For me, and I hope for you, too, if those three goals are accomplished over the next term then it won't much matter if a Democrat or a Republican leader achieved them.
We could all use a break from the struggling economy, the perilous state of world affairs and, frankly, the rank stench of uncompromising partisanship that has dominated the national political landscape since what feels like forever.
If I were president, I'd most want to accomplish these ends during the next four years:
Full employment through a streamlined and fair taxation system. Everybody pays something, even if it's a buck, and the highest earners pay the biggest share. Breaks for companies that manufacture here in the U.S. and stiff penalties for those who ship jobs overseas. And get rid of that damned 1040.
Bring our troops home. Foreign wars are expensive and often pointless. I don't support announcing a timeline, but 2014 seems like an awfully long time from now. We got Bin Laden, so let's let Afghanistan clean up their own mess…after all, how long do we need to continue fighting civil wars for other nations? Let them have their own 1776.
Stronger foreign policy. Protecting our overseas personnel adequately should be a must, not a lust. China should be a partner for a better world, not an adversary in trade. The situation in the Middle East has gotten worse, not better, since the Arab Spring. And energy independence will make us safer and more powerful than ever before.
Let's stop pretending to be Europe and be America instead. In case you haven't noticed, other than Germany, the economic situation across the pond stinks. Why? Unaffordable government-sponsored benefits. When tax rolls can't keep up with politicians' promises, trouble is sure to follow. Greece happens, people.
Leave reproductive rights alone. Can you living in a time when abortion wasn't legal or safe? Neither can I. And while in an ideal world my tax dollars wouldn't subsidize birth control or abortion, the pragmatist inside me whispers that raising an unwanted child is a whole lot more difficult and costly than taking a pill every month. (I can feel the hate mail already. I know. I'm a traitor.)
Make bipartisanship more than just a talking point. The biggest problem in Washington is the failure to listen, communicate and compromise. Democrats need to concede serious revisions to our entitlement programs. Republicans need to lay off social issues like abortion and same sex marriage; revenue adjustments may be necessary as well. Let's embrace the you get some, I get some deal-making ethos that business leaders everywhere know makes the world go 'round.
Better emergency response to natural disasters here in the U.S. Sandy. Katrina. Irene. No power, no water, no food, no gas, no transportation, no school. For days and days and days. And in many cases, no FEMA financial coverage. Surely we can do better.
Pass a balanced budget amendment. You have to do it with your checkbook to keep yourself solvent. Doesn't Washington have to do it, too?
A girl can dream, can't she?

Woo Hoo, Mariane is back. I, too, have had great response from the new owners. I really feel like they value the membership here. Faithwriters has meant a great deal to me through the years, especially the porch and the writing challenges, not to mention the wonderful friendships I've made.
I don't even want to think about what my house would feel like without my sweetheart in it. I told him today that I would surely miss his teasing if he weren't here, but I'd miss his hugs more!
