Munroe played basketball and baseball for White Plains before complaining about having a sore back in 2007, his senior year, before being diagnosis with cancer.
"He fought that thing with chemo his senior year," Wildcats coach Chad Hudson said. "He didn't get to play basketball, of course, but dressed out a few times. He died in February, the day before our basketball team played in the regional at JSU. It was a very emotional time."
The baseball tournament gives White Plains a chance to remember Munroe
"We love doing this," Hudson said. "Bradey fought so bravely against the disease and just taught us all so much about life. It's just a great way to honor his memory and for us to honor his family."
With Hudson now in his seventh season leading the baseball program, the Wildcats are hosting nine teams from around the area Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Cleburne County will host games Saturday and Sunday.
The action will kick off Thursday at White Plains with Jacksonville facing Piedmont at 4:30 p.m. followed by the Wildcats meeting Cleburne County.
• BASEBALL TRIP: While on spring break, why not take a trip to the beach?
The Saks, Alexandria and fifth-ranked Pleasant Valley softball teams made the trip to the lower Alabama for the Gulf Shores Classic this week with the Valley Cubs kicking things into overdrive later in the week.
Once returning from Gulf Shores, Alexandria is set to join White Plains in the Springville tournament.
• TOUGH GAMES: The Oxford and fifth-ranked Alexandria baseball teams are going to see what they're made of this week.
The two both traveled down to the Gulf Shores Classic and will face tough competition.
One matchup for both teams comes against the best of the top class, Class 6A No. 1 Smith Station.
Along with playing the top team in 6A, Oxford will play fifth-ranked Fairhope on Tuesday at 3 p.m.
Oxford won last season's 6A state title, while Fairhope was runner-up.
"I already told Joe (McGuire) we're playing Fairhope in Gulf Shores and he said, 'I'm going to throw,'" Oxford coach Wes Brooks said on Friday. "So I'll let him throw on Tuesday."

One of America's most familiar buildings – it graces the back of the nickel – Monticello, three miles southeast of Charlottesville on Hwy-53, was the home of Thomas Jefferson for most of his life. Its symmetrical brick facade, cantered upon a white Doric portico, is surrounded by acres of beautiful hilltop grounds, which once made up an enormous plantation, with fine views out over the Virginia countryside.
You can see Monticello on one of several guided tours (daily: March–Nov 9am–5pm; Dec–Feb 10am–4pm; t 434/984-9822, w http://www.monticello.org), each of which covers a different aspect of the site, though taking in more than one can get quite expensive. Options include the furnishings and gadgets of the "House" tour (30min; March–Oct $22, Nov–Feb $17), the more in-depth "Architecture" tour (1hr 15min; $27), and the kid-oriented "Family" tour (30min; $22). Evening "Signature" tours (1hr; May to early Sept $45) provide a broad overview with fewer people in tow. Each tour requires a timed ticket, for which you must reserve ahead.
From the outside, Monticello looks like an elegant, Palladian-style country estate, but as soon as you enter the domed entrance hall, with its animal hides, native craftworks, and fossilized bones and elk antlers (from Lewis and Clark's epic 1804 journey across North America, which Jefferson sponsored as president), you begin to see a different side of Jefferson. His love of gadgets is evidenced by an elaborate dual-pen device he used to make automatic copies of all his letters, and a weather vane over the front porch, connected to a dial so he could measure wind direction without stepping outside. In his private chambers, he slept in a cramped alcove that linked his dressing room and his study, and would get up on the right side of the bed if he wanted to make some late-night notes, on the left if he wanted to get dressed.
With the price of a tour ticket you can also visit the gardens, in which extensive flower and vegetable gardens spread to the south and west, and other parts of the plantation site focus on the remains of Mulberry Row, Monticello's slave quarters. Despite calling slavery an "abominable crime", he owned almost two hundred slaves and recent research indicates he probably had one or more children with one of them, Sally Hemings. At the south end of Mulberry Row, a grove of ancient hardwood trees surrounds Jefferson's gravesite, marked by a simple stone obelisk; the epitaph, which lists his major accomplishments, does not mention his having been president.

"Our greatest joy is to assist our guests in discovering the wonderful hidden spots
that Hilo and the Big Island have to offer."
"We are very grateful for the opportunity to host visitors to the Big Island
and extend to you our warmest Aloha."
Before moving to Hawaii, Jane and I had been living in St. Thomas, USVI where we chartered our 64 ft Sloop, Moonflyte, enjoying the azure waters of the Carribean and the boating life. We left the Virgin Islands in search of new horizons in 1988 and as luck would have it, we found a charming town on the Big Island of Hawaii called Hilo, and immediately fell in love..!! While looking for property, we were lucky enough to stumble onto this gorgeous 22 acre parcel in the midst of 2000 acres of Macadamia Nut trees, about 850 ft above sea level overlooking Hilo Town. We had been told there was a waterfall on the property and when we were able to clear the weeds and trees close to the ravine we came upon this120 ft waterfall that cascaded into a 300 ft wide pond at its base..!! We were so overwhelmed by the experience that we knew immediately this would be a property that we should share with others. We set to work immediately building trails to access the river and falls and worked on infrastructure to accommodate our future guests.
We opened the doors of "The Residence" to greet our first guest in August of 1998 and feel very fortunate to have met so many wonderful people in the last 14½ years. During this time we have worked to improve our facility and to offer our guests even more amenities.
The 4 mile road that leads from Hilo Town to the Inn is fully paved. Our location is very private and secluded where Hawaiian Hawk, Pigs, and Owls are a common sight, yet its an easy 15 minute drive to downtown, where some of the best restaurants on the Big Island can be found.
Since the Inn opened we have added new and expanded accommodations and amenities:
The "Pagoda Guest House"- This is small, private, 3 story 1 ½ bath residence would be comfortable for up to 6. Complete with kitchen, dining, laundry facilities, internet, and fireplace this Pagoda will embrace you with it oriental charm. Built on a cliff that overlooks Kulaniapia Falls, this vacation rental provides some of the most incredible views imaginable. From the 2nd story bedroom you can view the entire waterfall and pond, making The Pagoda one of the premier vacation spots in all of Hawaii.
"Harmony House" - The newest of our accommodations, Harmony is sumptuously decorated in Chinese antiques, and finished with exotic woods, marble and stone of the highest quality workmanship throughout. There are 5 guest rooms in Harmony, two of which have private balconies, overlooking spectacular Kulaniapia Falls.
The "Wailani Spa" offers a relaxing and envigorating personal on-site massage. The exercise equipment is available to our guests at any hour.
We've just completed "The Bamboo Garden Walking Tour", showing off the beautiful tropical grounds here at the Inn, and our extensive collection of exotic Bamboo varieties. We're sure you will enjoy your stay with us, and look forward to serving you!

Great way to entertain the babies and meet new mumsBy Srpk on 22/04/2013 2:59:21 PM
I went to the Bentleigh East Gymbaroo for 3 terms and enjoyed it. I met a lot of other mums and the songs and games seemed to really catch my baby's attention. Even as a young baby, he was exposed to parachutes, balloons, bubbles and all sorts or songs and activities meant to stimulate his motor skills. Overall I thought it was a good format, but I would have liked to see (...) Read more

Since this guy didn't die, I feel like it's okay for us to laugh at him.
On Monday, 40-year-old Brian Reynolds of Lynn, Massachusetts was driving his 1987 Chevy truck when the brakes stopped working.
His first instinct was to try to stop the truck FRED FLINTSTONE-style . . . by opening the door and dragging his foot along the ground. Believe it or not, that didn't work.
His next plan was to try steering up a hill to slow the car down. But when he turned, he FELL OUT of the door. He rolled out . . . and his runaway truck RAN OVER HIS LEG.
The truck kept rolling, and somehow didn't hit any people or even any other cars. It finally hit a fire hydrant and stopped.
Brian was hospitalized with a minor leg injury. And just to make SURE it was the worst day of his life, the cops gave him a $35 ticket for driving with defective equipment.

The actress shares with Conan O'Brien a way of dealing with personal and professional stress that she borrowed from the hip-hop star
Anne Hathaway shared some paparazzi-fueled frustration with Conan O'Brien Tuesday, expressing her angst through a character rap that she claimed was 'in the style of Lil' Wayne."
The actress stopped by Conan's show to promote her upcoming film "One Day," but got on the topic of "Dark Knight Rises" and the high level of images and clips leaked from the Pittsburgh-based set.
Also read: 'One Day' Feels Like It Lasts Years and Years
"The paparazzi attention's been a little intense," Hathaway conceded. "So I actually wrote a rap song about it."
"I go pop pop pop pop pop pop my camera's up yo' crotch," Hathaway croons in a style that was actually less Lil' Wayne and more Oscar the Grouch.
Here's the clip:

Active (view current version of standard)
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers forged carbon steel piping components for ambient- and higher-temperature service in pressure systems. Included are flanges, fittings, valves, and similar parts ordered either to dimensions specified by the purchaser or to dimensional standards such as the ASME and API specifications referenced in Section . Forgings made to this specification are limited to a maximum weight of 10000 lb [4540 kg]. Larger forgings may be ordered to Specification A 266/A 266M. Tubesheets and hollow cylindrical forgings for pressure vessel shells are not included within the scope of this specification. Although this specification covers some piping components machined from rolled bar and seamless tubular products (see ), it does not cover raw material produced in these product forms.
1.2 Supplementary requirements are provided for use when additional testing or inspection is desired. These shall apply only when specified individually by the purchaser in the order.
1.3 Specification A 266/A 266M covers other steel forgings and Specifications A 675 and A 696 cover other steel bars.
1.4 This specification is expressed in both inch-pound units and SI units. However, unless the order specifies the applicable "M" specification designation (SI units), the material shall be furnished to inch-pound units.
1.5 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification.
Note 1—The dimensionless designator NPS (nominal pipe size) has been substituted in this standard for such traditional terms as "nominal diameter," "size," and "nominal size."

Meaford's blood donor clinic volunteers want to see 100 units collected in Meaford and the most recent event was just 19 units short of the goal.
Canadian Blood Services held a blood donor clinic in Meaford on Thursday, November 1 at the Meaford and St. Vincent Community Centre. The clinic was well attended with many new faces attending to donate. In total 87 donors came to the clinic and 81 units were collected while six donors were deferred. Special thanks to Meaford Dairy Queen for their ongoing support of the clinic with the ever popular sundaes.
Clinic organizers would also like to thank the volunteers that help make the clinic run smoothly.
"We continue to look for interested individuals that would be willing to join us," said volunteer, Al Wilcox.
Clinics are held six times a year on the first Thursday of the month from 2-7:30 p.m. If you are interested in volunteering you can contact Verna Juniper at 519 538 1043.
The next time Canadian Blood Services returns to Meaford to collect donations will be Thursday, January 3.
To make an appointment, call 1-888-2-DONATE, and help Meaford reach its goal of 100 points of life saving blood.

Southwest Wisconsin: Pastures of plenty
Swiss immigrants brought their doe-eyed cows to southern Wisconsin in the 1800s, and the golden promise of cheddar, Havarti and Jack has lured travelers ever since. But if you come here just to get your dairy on, you're missing out.
The verdant valleys between the Mississippi River and Madison cradle one of the Midwest's most diverse pockets of food culture: high-brow, hole-in-the-wall, farm-fresh, ethnic and even downright kooky. You can buy bulging melons from a produce stand in Spring Green, then drive 40 minutes to Middleton and find yourself amid the National Mustard Day fest, where families feast on free hot dogs and frozen mustard custard.
We couldn't resist making this a long-weekend (300-mile) drive, but if you'd prefer a more compact, two-day trip, visit just the Swiss villages of New Glarus and Monroe or explore the Amish farms and roadside stands around Viroqua.

5. New Glarus Brewing Company A $3.50 ticket buys a souvenir glass, three small beer samples and a spot to enjoy them in the hilltop beer garden. Note that tours and sampling are only available until 4 p.m. See reviews and ratings. (608) 527-5850; newglarusbrewing.com

Southwest Michigan: Lakeside bounty
Shorter than our sweeping Wisconsin loop, this easy lakeshore route makes a tidy two-day trip - or stretch it to three with shopping in South Haven or Saugatuck. Our 125-mile (each way) route follows the shore south from Saugatuck almost to the Indiana state line, dipping inland to explore towns and wineries.
Southwest Michigan in summer looks like the colorful label on an old fruit crate: sun-drenched orchards, sparkling water and the sweet promise of golden apricots. Even the highway names (Blue Star, Red Arrow) have a cheerful, vintage character.
But the Fruit Belt, as this area is called, has a sophisticated side, too. For decades, vacationers have followed Lake Michigan east from Chicago, bringing their urban tastes with them. That explains the posh hotels and fine dining, but in this revived age of eating locally, they seek handmade cheese, small-batch wine and canned garden tomatoes, too. The flavors of our past have become the ingredients of our future, and Michigan offers them in abundance.

Indiana: Comfort food trail
Remember Sunday drives? Those lazy, windows-rolled-down afternoons in the country with a great ice cream cone at the end? They live on in Indiana, where locally grown veggies and home cooking flourish at markets, diners and restaurants with foodie followings.
Sample the best of the region on our trail. It begins in Bloomington, where FarmBloomington is changing the face of Hoosier fine dining. Farther east, the stretch of US-41 north of Vincennes showcases the area's agricultural bounty with farm markets, bakeries and diners.
The landscape changes as you head south, shifting from cornfields to wooded hills. The food culture shifts, too, to Southern favorites such as fried fish and blackberry cobbler. As our trail loops north, the road curves through Hoosier National Forest and the picturesque towns of Story and Nashville before reaching Bloomington again. It ends at Restaurant Tallent, where Indiana's home-grown ingredients achieve refined culinary perfection.
Depending on how much of Bloomington's food scene you want to take in, you could do this tour in a weekend or stretch it out to a three-day extravaganza. If you don't have that much time, US-50 and US-150 cut through the route, for shorter trips.
Indiana food trail highlights: From Bloomington to Vincennes
1. FarmBloomington Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, Farm offers thin-crust pizzas, rosemary chicken and Paradise Kitchen jerked salmon fillet. Don't miss the garlic fries; they're served in a big bowl and topped with Parmesan and spicy chili flakes. See reviews and ratings. (812) 323-0002; farm-bloomington.com
2. Prairie Acres Farm Market The cafe's mismatched dining chairs are part of the charm at this picturesque Oaktown market known for its baked goods and produce. See reviews and ratings. (812) 745-3207
3. US-41 farm stands Bring your cooler and stock up on the farm-fresh produce filling the little stands south of Oaktown.
4. Home of the Big Peach Getting your picture with the big metal peach in Bruceville is a Hoosier rite of passage. Snapping up peach cider and salad dressing is a bonus. See reviews and ratings. (812) 324-2548
5. Apple Hill Orchard Fresh fruit pies; award-winning cider; and U-pick apples, peaches and nectarines beckon travelers to the quiet hilltop log-cabin bakery. See reviews and ratings. (812) 324-9010
6. Dot's Custom Cakes and Catering Don't let the name throw you; this Vincennes hole-in-the-wall is famous for perfect, plate-size pork tenderloin sandwiches (pictured). Our advice: Skip the ho-hum fries and have dessert at the St. Louis Soda Shop--it shares the building with Dot's. See reviews and ratings. (812) 882-1973
Indiana food trail highlights: Jasper to Cannelton
7. Schnitzelbank Restaurant Sate that craving for schnitzel, sauerkraut and strudel at this 50-year-old German spot in Jasper, which really rocks each August during the four-day Strassenfest. See reviews and ratings. (812) 482-2640; schnitzelbank.com
8. Tell City Pretzels Since 1858, pretzel makers have twisted this secret-recipe dough into addictively salty-crunchy snacks. Call ahead if you want to see pretzels being made; you might get to learn how to twist, too. See reviews and ratings. (812) 548-4499; tellcitypretzel.com
9. Capers Restaurant Yes, it's eclectic. Dishes from New Orleans on a menu with Hoosier classics? But it works. The owners' Gulf Coast roots--and love for their adopted home--shine in Tell City, especially in the creamy potato soup, muffaletta and fried chicken. See reviews and ratings. (812) 547-3333; capersusa.com
10. Blue Heron Vineyards Bed and Breakfast at Rocky Point After a night in this Cannelton farmhouse, you can choose to have breakfast in the house or outside at the winery. Choose the latter, where a white tablecloth, fine china and quiche await on a wooded terrace overlooking the Ohio River. From $125. See reviews and ratings. (812) 547-7518; blueheronvines.com/farm.asp
Pictured: Rolling farmland unfolds off of State-62 north of Tell City.
Indiana food trail highlights: New Salisbury to Bloomington

12. Capriole Farmstead Goat Cheeses A single-lane gravel road in Greenville leads to a beautiful vista of rustic barns, exuberant flowers and owner Judith Schad's log-cabin home. Try the cheeses in the tasting room and take home the best-seller, the O'Banon, which comes wrapped in bourbon-soaked chestnut leaves. (812) 923-9408; capriolegoatcheese.com
13. Huber's Orchard, Winery and Vineyards In Starlight, Indiana's largest estate-bottled winery offers something for all ages: a family fun park, a lively farm market, U-pick peaches, a cafe, and cheese and ice cream shops. Oh, and, of course, the winery, where complimentary tours take place daily. See reviews and ratings. (800) 345-9463; huberwinery.com
14. Joe Huber Family Farm and Restaurant Founded in 1843, this farm near the town of Starlight really blossomed in the 1960s, when the family watched in awe as city folk flocked here to pick green beans. Now, they come for country-style fried biscuits honey ham and chicken dinners. (812) 923-5255; joehubers.com
15. Schimpff's Confectionery Equipment dating to the business' opening 120 years ago still churns out famous red hots and fish candies designed as a nod to the nearby Ohio River. You can watch the candymakers, tour the small candy museum or sip a chocolate soda from the 1950s fountain. In Jeffersonville. See reviews and ratings. (812) 283-8367; schimpffs.com
16. Kensington Tea Room and Butler's Pantry Coffee Shop Yes, they share the same Seymour address in a restored Victorian home. But you really must decide before you enter: coffee or tea? (You can't reach one from the other.) Whatever you choose, you'll find perfect brews waiting. See reviews and ratings. (812) 523-1300
17. Restaurant Tallent Foodies from throughout the region are happy to splurge on meals in this tranquil, modern setting. Remember that Capriole cheese? You'll find it here, along with pork chops, chicken and other Indiana-raised meats. Ask about the special soul food plate, which changes on a whim. Pictured. See reviews and ratings. (812) 330-9801; restauranttallent.com

Okay, so I've been thinking about the rapture. This is because Dromedary Hump got me thinking about the after rapture pet care service by atheists... Anyway so I got a question / thought. If fundamental Christians believe that the rapture can happen any minute, then why would they have children? Why do they find it acceptable to have a kid, and take the risk of being raptured up after the kid is born but before its baptized? Why take the risk of damning your kid to the hell on earth for eternity? Because we all know they believe baptism is the only way to save a child's soul before they are old enough to accept Jebus as their savior.
I think this should be a legitimate question voiced to those fundamentalists. Especially the ones who follow Pat Robertsons or the other closet homosexual TV Evangelicals.
Either they 1.) Do not believe in the Rapture (not likely).
2.) Think Jesus will wait for their kid to be baptized in which case you can say the rapture will never happen as long as their sect has kids thus they are interfering with gods will and thats a bad sin.
3.) They do not care in which case you can say an infinitely just and moral god/jebus will see that and they risk being left behind.
4.) (HOPEFULLY) They will realize you are right and get snipped.
It should therefore be required for members of these fundamentalist groups to get it snipped. If they refuse then they must admit that they don't take their beliefs seriously. This should be a prerequisite for any cult... I mean Fundamentalist Christian. They can try to prove their claim and the world would get a little better from it. It's a win/win. What do you guys think?

Following hisstaging of Scènes uit een huwelijk (Scenes from a Marriage) and Kreten en gefluister(Cries and Whispers), Ivo van Hove will once again direct two works by Ingmar Bergman: two performances on one evening.
Na de repetitie (After the Rehearsal) is a play about the meaning of theatre. For the director the theatre is his life. His productions are his autobiography. He lives in and through the theatre.
InPersona, we see how a top actress abruptly breaks off a scene and then refuses to speak. She is taken to hospital. The actress sees her life asempty and meaningless. A nurse tries to give her back her zest for life. Deep inside, however, they feel the same dissatisfaction.
Both works examine the meaning of art in our lives in a human way. Both candidly and lovingly.

This is just the beginning. Let's keep it up. History is bound to repeat itself. Let's hope that this time it's for the best.

I would still resign Hairston and dump Duda for some bullpen help.
Lets try and get Ethiet from the Dodgers, heard they wanna move him.
CoCo could end up working. Cowgirl is an obvious choice too.
Other possibilities:
Calling Cow
Lincoln (lol, that's as lame as it gets)

Hello. I am in Week 4 and have 3 kids who notice everything. I thought it might be fun to start a thread about what our children think of us being on BFL. Here are a few examples.
My 7-year-old daughter said something today that made me realize she really "gets" this. It was in the 90s this afternoon and she was really hot so I said she could have an ice cream sandwich as a special treat. She noticed I was not having one, too, and she remarked, "That's okay, Mom, you can have one on your free day!"
Yesterday, my children thought it was perfectly normal that I was not eating an early dinner with them. "It's not time for you to eat yet, Mom?" my son observed.
Back on week 2, I noticed my daughter was measuring the rice on her plate with her fist like she'd seen me do.
What about you?
I don't have kids.
I have a pet bunny rabbit. So far she's REALLY enjoying the apple and carrot peelings... I didn't used to eat fruit AT ALL so the BFL Way of Eating has opened up new realms of treats for her.
*wink* *wink*
At first my kids (13 & 15) would complain that there friends don't want to come over because there is never any food to eat. Now I can't keep fruits in house long enough for me to get some. BFL is just "Life" in our house anymore.
This one is a fun one for me. Initially my older boys (27 and 26 now) were teenagers and totally ignored me. My youngest however has watched the whole process. He's 18 now and happens to be my biggest fan. He tells me all the time that he wishes he had my work ethic. I tell him quite simply, you do, you were born with it.
He's already asked for my BFL jacket. I told him to earn his own!! :o)

This is great... My 11 year old asked last week if we could go out to eat and to the movies on my free day. I just giggled. I think that deserved dinner and a movie just for appreciating and thinking of me.
Kids are great.

Hi, My adult sons (26 and 21) love that I am on the program. they have seen me in the past have great success with it (back in the late 90's). My youngest son (5) doesnt notice but he loves the chicken and the fruit and yogurt that is always available now. jill
llpirata - thanks for the laugh! Clare
My kids love it. My oldest 11 loves to look at the pics for 10 years ago when I completed the challenge after having him. So they are watching to see if I can do that again.
I have two boys (ages 3 & 6), and they too have caught on. Saturdays are now "Family Free Day". They get to have dessert and special treats on that day. My three old asks almost daily, "Is it free day?" Not only do I get really excited for my free day (this is week 12 for me), but so do my kids. It's amazing how much healthier we have all been eating over the last three months. My kids beg me for my non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt with bananas. My six year old told me a couple days ago that he didn't have as much of me to squeeze when he hugged me. Now that is absolutely the best compliment I've received!!
My kids had pizza the other night and thought it was perfectly normal that I had grilled chicken over salad instead. They don't even question it anymore.
My step-kids (15 and 16 at the time) didn't really say too much until one Saturday morning after returning from the gym they told me I looked good. They were usually still in bed when I got home at 7 a.m. and had never seen me in my gym cloths. We didn't have them all the time so they didn't realize I was getting up so early in the morning on a regular to go to the gym. It was something like "wow, you look good, what have you been doing?" with a "yes you do" thrown in.
My 26 year old daughter thinks I'm on some restrictive diet (she knows it's BFL). I'm working to get her on board.
Love you some you...PERSEVERE!
My daughter is 5:
- she insists on putting on her bikini and getting update pictures every couple of weeks
- if I go to put my hand in her popcorn she says " you are going to ruin you BFL"
- she tells everyone she is also on BFL
- when I do sit ups she does jumping jacks
- she asks when candy is going to be on BFL
- she tries all my protein shakes
- I give her a tsp of the omega 3 oil and she says it's BFL
- she keeps flexing her bicep at me
- she told me that I'm not fat the other day
- she weighs 39 lbs, when she weighs herself it never changes but she always makes the remark three eight, I'm getting stronger
- she steals my salad
lucky for her she has her dad's super lean body, she loves veggies
Janice44 - your daughter sounds adorable! I am finding I always have to get out another healthy snack for mine when I have my mid - meals. Not a bad thing, really! Keep up the good work!
My oldest saw me drinking the Myloplex Light Drink for breakfast and is now convinced that I am "crazy." "How can you drink that stuff?" he asked. I told him it tasted good. "You're still crazy." he replied.
My daughter saw me eating a few peanuts and she says, "aren't you supposed to save those for your free day, Mom?"
I've now got 3 living, breathing, consciences to keep me in line.

Contact Altmans and order new hot and cold cartridges. If they won't sell them to you, ask them who they will sell them to.
I have Altman's high end, Ottley collection angle stop valves in my remodelled bath in both shower and sink. They are so hard to open and close! My wife chose round knobs and I can't open and close them with wet hands. I have to dry my hands to use them and it is still a chore. Very stiff and not at all like Moen, etc. I can't change them out as they were chosen by a "designer" my wife hired.
Is there a way to loosen the friction of these angle stops, or will I have to replace the knobs with expensive levers to solve?

Contact Altmans and order new hot and cold cartridges. If they won't sell them to you, ask them who they will sell them to.
Or just put a good-size C-clamp on those suckers and twist the clamp.
I'd take the cartridge out, put some silicon plumber's grease on things, put it back together and see if it helps. At best, it costs you a few bucks, at worst, you waste a hour figuring out how to take them apart.

Not to deflect the thread, but are these really "angle stop valves?" I thought that term referred to those shutoff valves we use for toilet and faucet supply lines.
No they are not! you are correct but the picture sure helped.
but dealing with Altman's is like talking economics with Alan Greenspan...what planet did this company come from? I have had trouble with every Altman's product in this new bath and it wants the old valves or cartridges back first to see what is wrong BEFORE it will send new ones or even the old ones back. What? And all that time we would not be able to use the sink? Jeez, what a nutso place.
Lifetime guarantee. Sure. As long as we put up with a bunch of idiots and their idiot replacement policies.
Don't ever buy Altman's products! A dealer I talked with also doesn't like them and said their products are made in Mexico(!!!). This bath set cost over $400, more than Grohe, and the dealer we bought it from said it was made in Europe. Maybe we should sue him.
All you can do is live and learn -
As I've learned on this site, some of the big name fancy-schmancy designer plumbing fixtures have some serious liabilities, like parts availability -
Makes me appreciate the low-end Moen "builder's special" bathroom sink faucets in my house which have been going strong for 18 years no with NO attention whatsoever!

Members of the Cherokee County legislative delegation and the Cherokee County School Board came together late last week to discuss the school board's 2013 legislative priorities as well as to discuss what the state's plans were to shore up education funding.
With the exception of Michael Geist, the entire school board attended last week's meeting with the delegation. Both State Rep. John Carson (R-Marietta) and State Sen. John Albers (R-Roswell), both of whom represent the southeastern corner of the county, also did not attend the meeting.
The priorities, which were approved by the board last month, are:
- Empower the School Board to: restore a 180-day school calendar for students; reduce class size; and, eliminate employee unpaid furlough days ...by ending State "austerity budget cuts" and allocating to the School District all locally-earned funding under the statutorily-required Quality Basic Education (QBE) Act formula.
- Develop and begin implementation of a statewide strategy for State Health Benefit Plan cost containment...rather than continuing to simply pass skyrocketing annual premium in- creases in this regard along to School Boards, teachers and other State employees.
- Earmark State funding for continuation of teacher pay for performance incentives and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) initiatives established through Georgia participation in Race To The Top…when Federal funding in this regard ends in September of 2014.
- Institute a fair and reasonable determination for high school graduation rates which factors in special education diplomas and the fact that it takes more than four years for some students to complete graduation requirements.
School board members asked members of the delegation if they would commit to ensuring each of the four points would be addressed during the 40-day 2013 legislative session.
State Rep. Calvin Hill (R-Hickory Flat) noted that the first priority is something the legislature as a whole would love to do, "but the money doesn't exist" for Cherokee to get the share its entitled to.
The QBE formula, which Hill described as "flawed," is the method in which the state uses to allocate funding for local school districts and Hill told school board members delegation "has no say" in how money is allocated to the district.
And with the federal Affordable Health Care Act, it will take around $850 million the state will have to "create" just to pay its bills, Hill noted.
Hill also stated the only way to increase state funding would be to increase the state's overall budget so the county would get more.
He also went on to say that the state has increased its per student funding to $4,496 each year.
Not so, according to numbers released on Friday by the Superintendent Dr. Frank Petruzielo.
The superintendent noted the per pupil state funds for 2012 were roughly $3,804.
Petruzielo said Hill pulled his numbers from the Georgia Department of Education's revenue and expenditures report, which in fact does show an increase in QBE "earnings."
"However, since the state legislature has not fully funded QBE and has in fact used austerity cuts in order to balance the state budget, it is not accurate to use figures for revenue that the Cherokee County School District does not actually receive," he said in a written statement.
He noted for a more accurate to review state allottment sheets for the district, which show QBE earnings as well as reductions made for state austerity cuts.
School Board member Robert Wofford noted the district is now at the point where they are having to choose between a rock and hard place when it comes to making cuts.
"We've cut and cut and cut to the point where we've cut the quality of education," he added.
Hill countered the point by noting the legislature has funded education in the state and that the real problem lies at the local level as Cherokee's property taxes have taken a nose dive in the last five yeas.
Education, he added, "has been the most protected" agency when it came to state budget cuts.
School Board member Rob Usher added that the QBE system is part of the problem, as the system takes into account those who pay property taxes rather than the entire population base.
He noted the larger counties that have more rental properties are able to take advantage of the QBE formula.
Board member Kelly Marlow also asked legislators what their plans were to help employers come to Cherokee to increase the tax base.
State Senator Brandon Beach (R-Alpharetta) said he's working on legislation that would create a temporary opportunity zone for the entire state for two years.
That, he said, would help "create a lot of jobs."
Created in 2004, an opportunity zone is a state designation that allows local governments to provide tax incentives for economic development and revitalization of pockets of poverty.
Benefits include eligibility for a $3,500 tax credit for each new job created, the use of job tax credits against 100 percent of income tax liability and withholding taxes, and the expansion of the definition of business enterprise to include businesses of any kind.
Cherokee County has two opportunity zones: one in the southwest corner of the county and one in its so-called "technology ridge" area.
The Technology Ridge area includes parcels west and south of the Interstate 575 interchange at Exit 20 along Old Highway 5, east of I-575 along old Highway 5 north to Ball Ground and the western side of I-575 around the Howell Bridge Road area.
Board members also asked legislators how the state could help local school districts contain the costs of its state health benefit plan.
Hill said the rising costs of health insurance is a "shared cost we are all getting hit with."
Board members also informed the delegation it would like to see the state contribute funding towards teacher pay for performance incentives and its Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) initiatives.
Both the STEM initiative and teacher performance pay were established through the federal Race To The Top program.
The district notes the current budget for STEM initiatives is $211,150 and told legislators the state has told the district it should expect to set aside next year for performance pay is over $900,000.
Read noted she and other board members would like the delegation to consider revamping graduation requirements.
The district wants the state to recognize students who may take the special education diploma track and take into account that it takes some students longer than four years to graduate from high school.
Currently, school districts' graduation rates only includes students who graduate in four years. Students who take longer to graduate and who may be on a special education diploma track are not factored into the rate.
Hill asked board members to submit recommendations on what should be changed, to which Read said she would.
State Rep. Michael Caldwell (R-Woodstock) noted students now are facing with the trend of having to set aside taking extracurricular classes in lieu of more rigorous academic credits they must have in order to graduate.
Last week's meeting ended on a conciliatory note.
However, Read asked the delegation to consider asking how legislation being considered under the Gold Dome would impact the Cherokee County School District "so we can let you know from real life experience" how it affects us."
