MJ Schillaci's Offers Three Bits of Advice to Her Successor
TELLURIDE – On a snowy afternoon in late November, Telluride Town Clerk Mary Jo "MJ" Schillaci recounted her nearly three decades as a public servant.
In her 24 years, she's resolved runoff elections, survived breast cancer and recovered from a recent heart attack.
The key to her success? Taking her roles of wife, mother and Telluride Town Clerk one day at a time.
Sunday, Dec. 1 marks her retirement.
Schillaci, 66, was born in Alpena, Mich., in 1947. Her mother, an election judge, sparked her interest in politics, and had her monitoring current events at an early age.
"I grew up being aware of what was happening politically. Discussions around our dinner table always seemed to center around what was happening in Washington," said Schillaci.
At age 12, she distributed pamphlets and literature for the 1962 Kennedy campaign, fostering her interest in public policy by studying philosophy and social work at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo.
In the mid 1970s, Schillaci left Michigan with her new husband Lenny, and headed west to find a new place to call home.
"We quit our jobs in Michigan, and I packed up my books and my Levis and we headed out west. We wanted to end up in Northern California, but we wound up here, because Lenny's brother lived here at the time," she said.
"We didn't have any money, but Lenny, his brother and I built a house here. We were living on credit cards and I was a teacher's aide at the school, which paid for food. We decided to stay, because Telluride was a very active community.
"But the first year we were here we didn't get any snow!"
In 1985, Schillaci started working as a part-time secretary for the Arts and Special Events Board, eventually becoming Telluride Town Clerk in 1989.
Over the past three decades, Schillaci's responsibilities have included conducting town elections, record management and issuing licenses.
Schillaci has acted as a steady hand at the helm of the clerk's office, said Telluride Mayor Stu Fraser.
"MJ has absolutely acted as a friend to me, for the past 12 years," he added. "She has always been so easy to get close to, just accessible on anything. She gets so involved in a great depth on a variety of different issues. Her hand is there to help people on an ongoing basis. She's absolutely loved in this town and I'll miss her greatly."
Because of her work in town's municipal elections, Schillaci was celebrated by the Colorado Municipal Clerks Association in 2012 for "Outstanding Contributions by a Clerk."
Schillaci said she's accumulated a treasure trove of information during her time as clerk, and has lots of advice for future clerks in Telluride and across the country.
"First, don't get drunk in Telluride. You end up saying things you really shouldn't say in a public setting," she said.
"Second, don't ever take a political position. It's never my job as clerk to take positions, it's only to implement the decisions the council makes," she said. Schillaci recalled a dinner party decades ago where she "had a couple glasses of wine," and voiced her opinion on an issue facing the town. The next day, Schillaci said, she had someone talking to her about it.
"I'm real rational," she said. "I want people to make decisions with the best information. Sometimes this community ends up having biases that don't allow them to take in new information. Sometimes it's hard to watch. But as clerk, you need to be completely apolitical.
"Third, never gossip. Councilors and mayor sometimes feel the need to come in my office, and whatever they say stays here. I used to feel comfortable telling the cat, but then I was afraid she'd tell someone else," she said.
During her time as clerk, Schillaci has endured many life-altering illnesses. In 2001, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
"I just took everything one step at a time. When I looked at my cancer in its entirety, all the steps and surgeries, it was just too much," she said. "Instead, I just focused on one thing at a time."
Rather than staying home and resting, Schillaci went to work during the radiation phases of her treatment. "I could have taken more time off. But I didn't want to go to bed and pull the covers of my head and say, 'Oh, my god, I have cancer and I'm just going to stay in bed until I'm done.'
"You just deal. My advice to people is to just take one thing at a time. I'm pretty good at compartmentalizing, so I was good at taking things in steps," she said.
After 24 years on the job, Schillaci is looking forward having time to herself to work on projects.
"I have a list of things I want to do and places I want to visit. I want to spend time with my granddaughter Emma who is 11. I don't see her much. I also want to travel with my daughter Angela; we travel well together," she said.
"And I'd like to learn to quilt. I have a lot of quilting ideas in my head, but don't have any of the skills to do them. The Down Valley Quilters will teach me like they taught their daughters. Plus, I've got hundreds of books at my house that I haven't read!"
There are also a number of social issues Schillaci hopes to work on during her retirement, including gerrymandering.
"The National League of Women Voters has taken that on. It's one of their mission statements. I don't know how I'm going to do it, but I'm going to join that organization. I think I can help because I know what it means locally, specifically this district," she said.

Welcome once again to "An Expert's Audit". This audit will be posted here as well as on my fantasy hockey blog at www.fantasyhockey.hockeyanalysis.com . I also do weekly reviews of teams for people who email in to me for a look-see. These audits will continue to appear here monthly and if you're interested in having your keeper team "worked over" then you can begin by emailing Dobber (contact link at bottom of website) about it. But send it in by the 15th, as I will be starting on my next one at that point.
Sit up, turn your hat back around and pull your pants up from below your crack you young punks, I'm about to introduce you to an actual woman who plays fantasy hockey. She wants some anonymity so I'll simply call her Gretchen but there are so few women playing this fantasy thing that you have to stop and take notice whenever one comes along. Seriously I think this is the first audit I've ever done where someone with a different chromosome has asked for some help with her team. Gretchen is a Kings fan so she's pretty happy with the progress of her team so far this season and her own fantasy team is in decent shape too.
Gretchen plays in a 14 team H2H with the following cats: G, A, +/-, PIMs, PPG, PPP, GWG, W, GAA, SV%, and SHO. That's a lot of categories and you'll want to always have an eye open to land goal scorers over assist guys if you have a choice.
Let's take a look at Gretchen's Kings.
C Nicklas Backstrom WAS – the new Adam Oates in Washington. Nickl-Back's a prototypical assist guy. I almost went with Craig Janney in that analogy but Backstrom has more skills than Janney ever did.
C Patrice Bergeron BOS – his stat history when not injured has been as a SOGy guy and that continues to be the case. With injuries to Savard and Lucic and the disappointing starts to Krejci and Wideman then it has been Bergeron who has been leading the way for the B's. He's well worth keeping around.
LW Andy McDonald STL – people really underestimate McD's abilities in the fantasy game. He'll never be a big goal scorer but he'll put up points as guys like Boyes and Perron find the twine.
LW Patrick O'Sullivan EDM – I've been waiting for him to break out ever since he was a member of the Wild, and I think that finally he might be in a situation where he can truly contribute over the course of a season. He creates offense and he just needs to be teamed up with a finisher.
RW Phil Kessel TOR – he returned near the end of our month long discussions of your team and he's a welcome addition since your league is weighed more toward goal options. He'll contribute plenty for you from here on out.
RW Danny Briere PHI – this guy fell so far in drafts this year that we were both thrilled to get him late. If he's healthy I really like him but this year is beginning to look like a continuation of last year, and if so then you're in trouble for this slot. Don't just drop him though, he still has a lot more value than that although trading is also probably not an option while he's hurt either. You'll just have to wait out his health troubles and then shop him around when he returns.
D Nicklas Lidstrom DET – the Wings had a horrid start but just realize that this isn't some pushover squad and there are still a bunch of guys over there that can hurt you on the scoreboard. Their captain hasn't really shown up offensively yet but the +/- is already doing well and you just know he'll burst out for a bunch of offense at any moment. If he isn't top 5 of D offense by season's end then … well there's no threat to make because it's definite that he'll be top 5 by season's end.
D Jay Bouwmeester CAL – I think that Dion Phaneuf saw how quickly J-Bo got out of the blocks this season and he decided that he'd show the new guy just who leads the D in Calgary. To me, it doesn't matter because both guys are elite D who contribute across the board.
D Ryan Whitney ANA – wow, we're 3 deep into your D and you still have potential 40 pt guys to roster. Your D options are phenomenal. People forget that Whitney has a 50 pt season to his credit in Pittsburgh and last year he got 23 pts in 48 games. The Ducks knew they would be losing Pronger so they replaced his game with Whitney and Wisniewski, that means some great opportunity for Whitney again. I can see 40 pts for Whitney this season if the opportunity remains the same.
D Erik Johnson STL – I've said it before and I'll say it again, I heart EJ. He'll take the next step this year and enter the upper echelon for offense amongst D.
Util Kyle Okposo NYI – the Isles have gone 6-3-2 over the last three weeks and that's a far cry from what I figured would be happening on the Island this year. Much of their progress so far has to be linked to a young attack led by OH-poso, JT, and the surprising Tambellini and Moulson.
G Ryan Miller BUF – he had 40 wins for the Slugs 3 seasons ago and many thought he had a bit of a down year last year yet he still brought home 34 wins. That's elite production that you don't have to take in the first run on goaltending in any draft. He just doesn't get enough elite chatter in fantasy circles but I see a return to the 40 win plateau this season.
G Pascal Leclaire OTW – the Sens believe they've found their goaltender for a lot of seasons ahead and if he can keep his legs healthy then, they have. He's got the sort of game to be elite but he just needs to stay healthy.
BN Andrew Brunette MIN – I don't have much confidence in the offense in Minny. I don't believe that Havlat is a stable option and Koivu can't do it alone. Brunette is the next best option for the Wild and although that provides plenty of opportunity I don't think it bodes well for the Wild offense in general since he's just not star goal scoring calibre.
BN Dustin Byfuglien CHI – Byfugly (I call him Byfugly, I mean have you looked at this guy? Wow dude, wear a hat … or a paper bag or something) is well liked for his game around here. He plays with an edge and he goes to the net. He shares the team lead in goals and you need him to continue along at the pace he's going. He's good secondary scoring for your team.
BN Francois Beauchemin TOR – this is the worst D on your roster, by far. He got opportunity in Anaheim when guys were injured or when Nieds was thinking about retirement but as soon as everyone was back in place then Beau lost almost all opportunity. He plays a decent all around game but in terms of fantasy potential there isn't much here to pursue.
BN Alex Goligoski PIT – Good GOLI! This kid is presently 6th in D scoring this season. He'll produce plenty but I don't see him staying top 10 in D scoring on the season so if there's a move that we like then we can consider something involving this kid, and it turns out there indeed WAS something that we liked.
BN Jose Theodore WAS – I like him as a G3, particularly in a 14 team league where guys might be searching for some tender help. I still argue that Varlamov will be more of a factor for the Caps this season but Propecia-boy here is still on the scene.
IR Valtteri Filppula DET – this injury late in the month hurt your depth but when he's back I expect he'll really help your depth options this season. The Wings need him back with both Franzen and now Williams on the shelf too.
IR Ilya Kovalchuk ATL – rumour is that he'll be back before this article is put up on the site, and you really do need him. I got him in the Expert's League draft in the 2nd round, 17th overall and was thrilled to get one of the best goal guys in the league at that stage. In this league setup you really need him back and contributing.
IR Rick DiPietro NYI – will this guy ever be healthy again? His fantasy value is pretty much nil and I have little confidence that he'll contribute much of anything to your team this or any season.
My first reaction when I saw the team was that it was a very solid squad, but then the injury to Kovalchuk happened and your need for another goalscorer came along. Fortunately you had Phil Kessel waiting in the wings and eventually Kovy and Kessel will be anchors for Gretchen's Kings. I LOVE your options at D, that's a very real strength and your goalie options in a 14 team league are really solid too. I think you'll need to go after another decent goal scorer up front and it'd be nice if we can also add a fave player to your team's mix, that may mean losing a bit of your D depth though so be prepared.
Waiver Wire Options
Sam Gagner EDM – there has been a shuffling of the deck in Edmonton this month (and sometimes that really hurts … the shuffling I mean) and Gagner was given more opportunity. The extra opportunity hasn't really shown up much on the stat sheet but I'm still confident that it will, in fact I just added him to my Expert's League team myself.
Mike Fisher OTW – Fish had a significant role in the Sens attack when Spezza was shelved. This was a good add at the time and Fisher continues to have good value as a fantasy option.
Antoine Vermette CBS – the entire Jackets attack has surprised and even "hands of stone" Raffi Torres has 8 goals on the season. If wingers are scoring it's because centers are getting them the puck and in this scenario Vermette and Brassard are doing a really good job to start the season.
Steve Bernier VAN – we discussed Bernie as an add and my gut just said, don't bother. I just didn't think he'd really jump into the offensive void created by the loss of Daniel Sedin in the attack. It turns out that Bernier did indeed flop over the course of the month and I still don't see him with much fantasy value from here on out.
Trading Options
Traded Alex Goligoski and Jose Theodore to He ain't heavy, he's my Brodeur for Drew Doughty and Teemu Selanne – this was a freaking steal and you managed to land a real King for your squad without it costing much of your D depth. It did cost you in goalie depth but you have a couple strong options anchoring you there. If you're the praying sort though you might want to fire a couple prayers up for Leclaire's legs since they generally get him into some trouble over the course of the season. By doing this deal you took advantage of someone else's goalie need while landing a goal scorer. You also upgrade at D although anyone can easily make an argument that the D swap is a wash.
Well ok, that was fun eh? I'm most pleased by the additions of Gagner (who's about to break out), Selanne (he's loved here in Winnipeg where I am, by the way) and Doughty (a fave of yours). That's a good month's work right there. I know it's a stretch to add a Duck like Selanne to the roster of a Kings fan but you already have a Duck on there anyway and you need the goals.
All the best to you and yours Gretchen. Your Kings and the real Kings are off to a great start and I don't see that changing all that much this season. Good on you.

i also have played in a league a woman, several of them actually, they didn't win though. that isn't to say they didn't know their stuff because they certainly did and still do.
sorry i don't remember who the drop was for Gagner but she also has an empty roster spot once Flip went to IR.

Using Android Devices for Genealogy
Half of all smartphone users have an Android device with strong growth while iPhone marketshare growth is flat at 0.2% and all other Mobile OS losing market share. Projections are that Android market share will continue to increase and more people will use mobile devices for what have been traditional desktop applications. Mobile apps are becoming more abundant and richer in features. Mobile apps are also typically less expensive than desktop applications. Android phones and tablets as well as other mobile devices are better suited for genealogy and family history activities than traditional desktop or even laptop computers. The mobile capabilities allow an Android phone to be more easily carried on research field trips. The built in GPS (Global Positioning System) allows for locations such as headstones in a cemetery and even book shelves in a library can be accurately documented. Wireless data services allow internet searching, emails, and even uploading of images and video from almost everywhere.

Throughout the series, Buffy faces down weekly evils interspersed between storyline carrying big bads that wreak havoc on the daily lives of the title Slayer and her faithful Scoobies. Though each villain carries with them the threat of pain and death, some big bads were just a little bigger and a little badder than all the others, and just a bit more difficult for the Slayer to face - whether alone, or with her friends at her side. I've compiled a list of what I consider to be the worst villains and hardships the Slayer was forced to face down in her tenure. So without further ado, here goes:
#1 The Master
The Master is representative of everything the young Buffy had to fear. She was a high school sophomore; he was an impossibly old, impossibly evil master vampire intent on raining hell down on Sunnydale. The Slayer had come to Sunnydale by chance, hoping to start fresh; instead, she is pulled into the Master's plan to free himself from his subterranean prison and learns that a prophecy exists, stating that she will die in her attempts to thwart him. Frightened, angry and grief-stricken, Buffy truly faces down her own mortality for the first time, when the fate of the world rests in her decision to give her own life in sacrifice.
#2 TIE: Gachnar & Nightmares
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"; a quote heard so often that it can be repeated at will is nonetheless very true. On more than one occasion in the series, Buffy is forced to deal not only with her own fears, but those of her close friends.
Buffy's first brush with the manifestation of fear comes in the first season episode "Nightmares" where a young boy, victim of a brutal beating, is lost in a nightmare world and gradually begins pulling the rest of Sunnydale in with him. From humorous to horrifying, viewers get to peek at the darkest dreams of the Scoobies and many other peripheral characters. For every Cordelia with a bad hair day gag, there is an equally dark moment; one stand out is Buffy greeting her father, only to be told flat out that the cause for her parents' divorce was Buffy herself, and that he didn't see a point in continuing their visits. In the end, the actual physical villain is short work for Buffy, but confronting the basest fears beyond even the monsters she fights nightly is a very dark and very poignant moment for the series.
As the series and its characters grew, so did their fears, and this was best exemplified in the season four episode "Fear, Itself", when college-age Scoobies are once again made to come face to face with their deepest fears and insecurities. While at first seemingly repetitive, the episode makes an interesting point in how the fears of the feature characters have changed over the years; embarrassments and home and family issues are gone, only to be replaced with the struggles within their own relationships and their changing paths in lives. Much like the "Nightmares" story, it's the journey rather than the destination here. It doesn't matter what is causing their fears to come alive, or how easily it may be defeated, but rather the facing of fear, itself.
#3 High School
It's well understood that Buffy is not like other girls. Unfortunately, she has to face the same day to day doldrums as everyone else. School is an immediate struggle for Buffy as her past academic performance in LA is overshadowed by the downturn in her social status; cut classes, fights and, worst of all, burning down a gymnasium, show up as glaring warning signs on her permanent record. Even with the school librarian on her side, it's a rough road: singled out as the 'weird' girl, accidents involving her increased strength, a bad reputation that followed her from her last school, a new and far more devious principal, even teachers that barely take notice of her when she does well, all coupled with late nights on patrol and the occasional apocalypse to avert. And let's face it: high school can be a bitch even if you're NOT hunting demons and vampires in your down time. The fact that a Slayer should survive her teen years is remarkable; that she should do it while balancing her slaying duties with high school is nothing short of phenomenal.
#4 Der Kindestod
Quietly skulking and looking something like a fanged Freddy Krueger, Der Kindestod was one of the creepiest-looking Buffy villains every put to film. Its nefarious feeding ritual is even worse: Der Kindestod drained the life from children too ill to fight back and forced to stare at the invisible horror while it killed them. When Buffy winds up in the hospital with a bad case of the same flu afflicting the children of Sunnydale, she glimpses the creeping horror and vows to do her slayer duty and stop it from killing again. However, a childhood trauma she experienced in a hospital makes the Scoobies believe she may just be imagining things. Top it off with the recently turned Angelus turning up at the hospital with Buffy incapacitated, and the odds were stacked against the Slayer in fighting this child-eating monster.
#5 Spike
When the vampire Spike turns up in season two of the series, with the clearly unhinged Drusilla on his arm, he presents the first really charismatic vampire villain in the series. The Master had been evil, but his personality hadn't extended much beyond that. Spike was something entirely new: stylishly cruel and totally devoted to his madwoman vampiress. Couple that with a history with Angel's vampire persona and a sizable hit count of two Slayers in his past, Spike was, for lack of a better word, a total badass. Though later seasons defanged the vampire to an intolerable degree, his early appearances made it clear that he was there to cause trouble and wreak a little havoc.
#6 The Gentlemen
Like Der Kindestod, the Gentlemen are one of the creepiest weekly villains featured on Buffy the Vampire Slayer; eerily floating with gaping grins and intent on stealing the hearts of seven Sunnydale residents, the group is attended by a cadre of straight-jacketed Igor-like lesser demons who do their bidding. Unable to stand the sound of a single human voice, the Gentlemen's arrival is announced by their stealing of the voices of every Sunnydale resident, rendering the town mute and defenseless against them. This leaves Buffy and her team unable to communicate, making their rallying of a defense all the more difficult; it also leaves military man Riley and his Initiative soldiers in the same situation, forcing the revelation of just who he is and what is going on beneath Sunnydale U.
#7: Billy Fordham ("Ford")
In season two episode "Lie to Me", viewers meet a blast from Buffy's past in the form of guest star Jason Behr's "Ford". A friend and former crush from Buffy's pre-slaying days in LA, Ford arrives in town unexpectedly and brings with him an entirely new problem to face. When it becomes apparent that Ford's intentions are less than honorable towards the Slayer, Buffy faces a reality that she had been blissfully unaware of for some time. As a child of a broken home and newly transplanted to Sunnydale, the pre-slay days of LA, when Buffy was happy, popular and ignorant of her birthright represents the 'what might have been': what her life could have been like had she not discovered the existence of vampires and her role as a Slayer. Buffy often seems to relate her having been activated as a Slayer to her parents' subsequent divorce, and her eventual move. With the arrival of Ford, the illusion of a happy life outside of Sunnydale and its Hellmouth is finally shattered, as Buffy realizes the microcosm of her world can reach beyond the borders of the little California town. Evil, sadness and death extend far beyond the clutches of the vampires and demons; Slayer or not, it would still be able to touch her life.
#8 Faith
Where Billy Fordham represented the what might have been of Buffy's past, Faith became the what could have been of her future. In spite of all of the difficulties that Buffy had faced, balancing friends and family alongside the life of the Slayer, Faith made it clear how very much more could have gone wrong. Though not specifically addressed, it is implied that Faith came from a broken, if not outright abusive, home; her Watcher had, as Giles had with Buffy, taken on a special, parental relationship with the girl before being killed. Faith clearly blamed herself for her Watcher's death, and it seemed the pivotal turning point in the downward spiral that would lead Faith to ally herself with the very creatures she had been born to fight. Faith showed Buffy the dangers inherent in the power given Slayers, and became a formidable opponent once having switched sides in the epic battle between good and evil. Though later redeeming herself, Faith showed both Buffy and the viewers how easily a Slayer's life can be wasted and used for evil.
#9: TIE: Eyghon & Zachary Kralik
In a Slayer's life, there is little left to stand stalwart and true outside of her Watcher. When Buffy first met Rupert Giles, she may never have thought he would so quickly become her guiding force and protector, and yet he slipped into that role all too easily. Highly intelligent and well learned in vampire myth and legend, Giles seemed to have all the answers. He was so prim and proper that thoughts of an indecorous past or a future betrayal would seem ludicrous and yet, they both happened.
The demon Eyghon came after Giles with a vengeance in season two episode "The Dark Age". It is here that Buffy learns that Giles is not all that he seems, as he falls apart in the face of his own past mistakes come back to haunt him. Reckless and rebellious, a far younger Giles had played at dark magic with a group of friends, summoning and inadvertently setting loose the demonic Eyghon, who possessed the dead or unconscious and sought revenge on Giles himself. Buffy then had to deal with the fact that Giles wasn't the idealized figure she had assumed, and the reality of human failure was forced into their relationship. In spite of this understandable human failing, they remained close in a pseudo father-daughter relationship, until that trust was irrevocably damaged.
In season three episode "Helpless", Buffy is reaching a pinnacle birthday for a Slayer. There are not many who live to the age of eighteen and the Watcher's Council, the ruling body that oversees Watchers and their Slayers, initiates a rite of passage for the Slayer, to be administered by Giles. Hypnotized by a crystal, Buffy never realizes that her trusted Watcher has been injecting her with muscle relaxants in preparation for a great test: Buffy is to be pitted against a strong psychopathic vampire, all the while without her usual strength. Though her wits help her to prevail, the damage is done. Her trust in Giles is shaken, and her reliance on the Watcher's Council is beginning to unravel. Confronting such a huge betrayal from the one she trusted most for guidance causes more injury to the Slayer than any demonic threat ever could.
#10: Angelus
Okay, any fan of the show had to see this one coming. Of all the big bads Buffy has faced over the years, the worst of them have always had a personal connection to the Slayer. It was never only about strength; even the best Slayer can be felled by an unremarkable vampire on a bad day. It was the villains best at getting into Buffy's head and damaging her emotional attachments that were always worst on the Slayer, and Angel's transformation back into the evil Angelus was the worst of the lot.
The story is simple and well-known; the vampire Angel, who often assisted Buffy and her Scoobies in taking on the weekly evil, had been cursed by a gypsy tribe with his own soul. The vamps of the Buffyverse were always bereft of human souls, with a demon taking over the flesh left behind: pure evil. With the addition of a human soul, Angel is in torture over what his vampire self had done, and in constant battle to fight the vampiric urges brought on by the demon that still resided within him. When he achieves a single moment of pure happiness, where the guilt of all that his vampire-self had wrought was not foremost on his mind, he loses that soul and reverts to the vampire Angelus, who had been known for his viciousness that went beyond even what was expected from a normal vampire.
Angel had been not only the love of Buffy's teenage life but also representative of her cognitive abilities as a Slayer. Learning of his past, Buffy chooses to retain her trust in Angel and continues to rely on him, in spite of what he had once been. When others (particularly Xander) had questioned his loyalty and motives, Buffy had stuck by her "cradle-robbing creature of the night boyfriend" and, in the long run, was forced to bear the consequence of that decision.
That consequence is the darkest Buffy had ever faced. She'd had to kill vampires she had known as humans before, knowing that the human soul was gone, never to return, and what was left was simply a demon wearing the human shell. Angelus was something different entirely. Evil and fantastically manipulative, he keeps the knowledge of all that had gone on between Buffy and Angel. He knows her strengths and weaknesses, knows exactly which buttons to push to hurt her the most and he relishes the torture.
The greatest challenge come to bear because of Angelus arrives with the demon Acathla. Resurrected and beginning to tear the world into a hell dimension, Angel's soul is restored and he is left unknowing of what is happening around him, when the damage is already done; the only way to prevent the apocalypse this time around is for Buffy to kill him. We already knew that Buffy would sacrifice herself when necessary, as she had faced the Master to avert an apocalypse knowing full well that she was prophesied to die at his hands. But in this instance, Buffy proves that her selflessness extends beyond her own life: she will save the world at the cost of her own happiness, and at the cost of a loved one's life if necessary.

My family devoured this dish.., they begged for 2nds but its serves 4 only... so looking forward to the next time... its a 10 on my scale...
this dish was way to creamy for my liking
I make this recipe using the leftover shrimp from new years eve. I still saute in the butter and garlic and follow the rest of the recipe. The old bay from the shrimp really add flavor to this recipe. Delicious! My husband looks forward to this meal at the beginning of every new year. I also make through out the year using chicken. Kids love it!
I made this two nights ago using one stick butter and 1/4 cup olive oil and it was delicious! I am sitting here eating leftovers tonight with ciabatta garlic bread and it's still yummy...Would be great with chicken.
I liked this a lot. I had to cut a few things in half because of dietary restrictions in our family. So...I only used 1/4 cup butter and I added 2T olive oil. I used 4oz lite cream cheese and we have to live with skim milk here so we did. I added 1T of flour to make sure my skim milk would still make a neat, clingy sauce. Also had to change the salt to Mrs. Dash original. Overall, it was still very good and would be as great with chicken as it was with the shrimp.

The final night of Lane Kiffin's USC head coaching career began in beauty, desert temperatures dropping, the sky above Arizona State's Sun Devil Stadium shimmering, the excited murmurs of fans hurriedly filling the stands dressed in shorts and flip-flops.
It looked as if the only person not bathed in hope was Pat Haden.
As the Trojans jogged through their pregame routine, Haden stood forlornly on the sidelines with his USC cap tucked low on his head and his hands stuck deep in his pockets. He wasn't doing his usual meeting and greeting. He was just staring, wearily, unsmiling, as if only four games into the 2013 season he had seen enough.
"You can tell, this Kiffin stuff has really taken its toll on him," said a bystander.
Four hours later, that toll was finally exacted. Kiffin was fired by an athletic director who ultimately agreed with the overwhelming majority of his constituents.
Haden, it seemed, could no longer bear to watch USC play football.
The Trojans football culture is as visceral as it is vicious, as much about Hollywood as head-banging, yet Kiffin never took his nose out of his play card long enough to understand.
The Trojans football culture is about an internal swagger, yet Kiffin's off-the-field exploits with deflated footballs and phony uniform numbers reeked of an internal smarminess.
The Trojans football culture is about being smarter when you cannot be stronger, yet Kiffin's play-calling often hurt the team far more than any scholarship ban.
The Trojans football culture is about always competing — former coach Pete Carroll nailed that one — yet four of Kiffin's final seven losses were by double digits, and in two of those games his teams allowed 62 points.
Even for a forgiving sort like Haden, who inherited Kiffin yet still vociferously supported him for 3 1/2 seasons, the Trojans had become unwatchable.
The firing was not designed to ruin Lane Kiffin, but to save USC football.
"We realize our history has been great and we need to be great again," Haden said during a Sunday news conference.
There has been much wondering about which moment on Saturday night finally finished Kiffin. There are many possible moments, but a good guess might be the fourth-and-one pass thrown out of the wildcat formation by running back Tre Madden with the Trojans trailing by 20 late in the third quarter. It was a play called by someone who had lost all contact with the pulse of his team. Madden thew a wobbler that was intercepted, and four plays later the Sun Devils scored to put the game out of reach.
"At the end of the day, it became a gut feeling that we weren't making the progress that I felt we needed to make, that I thought we should be making," said Haden. "It's never the perfect time to do these things, but I felt it was the right time."
Kiffin, a tireless worker who deserves credit for going 10-2 in 2011 and temporarily steadying the program in the wake of probation, politely declined to comment for this column. But surely even he would admit that what USC football is, he isn't. The Kiffin failure should remind USC of exactly what it needs to succeed.
Call the upcoming search, "Finding Pete."
Although Haden will have difficulty duplicating Mike Garrett's hiring of Pete Carroll, he showed he understands the importance of a Carroll-like aura by naming former Carroll assistant Ed Orgeron as the interim boss.
Orgeron is Pete without the slick. He is raw voice, raw emotion, running motor, the sort of guy to infuse the program with the Pete passion it so desperately needs. He is the anti-Kiff.
Said Haden: "This is supposed to be a game of fun and joy. One of the things we're looking for in Ed is to bring that fun and joy back into the game of college football."

What are the parameters for evaluating Wiggins?
He shot 47% from the field including 44% on 3-pt and 100% 8-8 on FTs, He had a double-double of 26-11 leading the team in BOTH scoring AND rebounding. 26 points on just 15 shots, still shot more than 2x the number of the next closest teammate, scored more than 2x the next closest teammate. He still had 15 before blitzing it near the end of the game (is that not usually considered 'clutch' when being able to turn it on in crunch time?).
Seems that just because he 'doesn't impose his will' (whatever that actually means) then somehow he has under performed or not lived up to expectations? That you can even say that when he was the only player to keep his team in the game and led the team in 2 of the 3 most important categories boggles the mind. If this writer knows about the Wiggins at all he would know this describes his game; understated yet highly efficient and effective. You eyes trick you into believing he had an average game but look at the box score and realize just how consistent he was. He is generally not a streak scorer. And I would prefer a consistent one over a streaky one. But flashy/streaky ones seem to get the pub right?

Sounds Better.
You can hear the difference with Studio One®. It just sounds better. This isn't some happy accident, though: Studio One has a new 64-bit audio engine, written from the ground up.
Studio One provides truly high-resolution audio, recording at sample rates up to 384 kHz with 32-bit floating point resolution. Studio One Professional can operate its mixer with 64-bit floating-point, double-precision processing. Studio One's audio engine automatically switches to 32-bit mode on the fly for 32-bit plug-ins, and runs in 64-bit mode for 64-bit plug-ins.
These are not simply theoretical advantages; the difference is audible. Our opinions are a little biased, we admit, but we encourage you not to take our word for it. Take a look at what others have to say about the sound of Studio One, how smooth and "analog" it sounds. Most of all, listen for yourself.

god Sox!!
ALCS Preview: Tigers at Red Sox, Game 6
Tigers at Red Sox
Start time: 8:07 p.m. ET
Series: Red Sox lead 3-2
Starting pitchers: Max Scherzer (2-0, 2.25 ERA) vs. Clay Buchholz (0-0, 6.17 ERA)
Of the 35 League Championship Series to go at least six games, 20 of them, including the just-completed NLCS, ended with Game 6. However, of the 15 to continue on to a seventh game, the team trailing entering Game 6 won ten of them. Put another way, the winner of Game 6 won 30 of those 35 series, so while it's the Tigers who are facing elimination Saturday night, this is almost as important a game for the Red Sox. Indeed, Detroit is set up well for a comeback in this series with likely Cy Young award winner Max Scherzer on the mound in Game 6 and the rejuvenated Justin Verlander scheduled for the potential Game 7.
Scherzer has been remarkably consistent in his three starts against the Red Sox this season, as well as in his two playoff starts. With Game 2 of this series falling into both categories, that's a combined total of four starts, each of which has seen Scherzer pitch exactly seven innings and three of which have seen him allow exactly two runs, the exception being Game 2 of this series in which he held the Red Sox to one run. In his two playoff starts combined, totalling 14 innings, Scherzer has allowed just three runs on five hits and four walks while striking out 24.
Of course, the Tigers lost Scherzer's Game 2 due to the bullpen's inability to protect a 5-1 lead for two innings. Concerns about the Detroit relief corps remain, though outside of Game 2, the Tigers' pen has allowed just one run in ten innings with 12 strikeouts against just eight baserunners. Game 2 is pretty large exception, however, and such an exception is not needed for the Boston pen, which has allowed just one run in 20 innings in this series, led by closer Koji Uehara's five scoreless, walk-less frames to go with seven strikeouts.
Given that bullpen disparity, all the Red Sox really need starter Clay Buchholz to do in Game 6 is match Scherzer for six innings, though even that would likely require his best outing of this postseason. Buchholz turned in a bare-minimum quality start in the division series, but was lit up for five runs in 5 2/3 innings in Game 2 of this series and hasn't allowed fewer than three runs in any of his last four starts. That wouldn't be as damning if he wasn't facing off against Scherzer, but he is.
One key factor in this game will be the health of Tigers catcher Alex Avila. Avila had to come out of Game 5 after suffering a strained patellar tendon in his left knee on that regrettable homeplate collision with David Ross, putting his availability for Game 6 in doubt. Avila told Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal on Friday that he expected to play, but even if he is in the lineup, his ability to play the full game or to play at full strength will be in doubt. That's significant not only because Avila is leading the Tigers in on-base percentage in this series, reaching base safely seven times in 16 plate appearances, but because he has by far the best career numbers against Buchholz of any man on the Tigers' ALCS roster. Avila is 5-for-11 with three walks in his career against Buchholz, including a 2-for-3 performance with a home run and three RBIs in Game 2.
Overall, the bats have come alive for both teams over the last two games, with the two combining for 17 runs and 41 hits in Games 4 and 5. Mike Napoli, the only man on either team with multiple home runs in this series, and Jacoby Ellsbury, who has excellent career number against Scherzer, have led the Red Sox's charge. Avila, Victor Martinez, and Jhonny Peralta have paced the Tigers, while Austin Jackson has gone 4-for-6 with a pair of walks since being dropped to the eighth spot in the order for Game 4. With the series returning to Fenway Park, we could see a very different game than a matchup of Scherzer (21-3, 2.90 ERA during the regular season) and Buchholz (12-1, 1.74 ERA) might suggest. That said, I expect Scherzer to give the Tigers more of a chance than fellow presumptive Cy Young award winner Clayton Kershaw gave the Dodgers in Friday night's Game 6.
"Of the 35 League Championship Series to go at least six games, 20 of them, including the just-completed NLCS, ended with Game 6. However, of the 15 to continue on to a seventh game, the team trailing entering Game 6 won ten of them. Put another way, the winner of Game 6 won 30 of those 35 series, so while it's the Tigers who are facing elimination Saturday night, this is almost as important a game for the Red Sox"
What a completely asinine thing to write. Completely foolish.
Another way of putting it would be:
The team that has the 3-2 lead in the series entering Game 6 wins the series over 71% of the time (based on LCS history).
In other words, if history holds to form, the Red Sox almost assuredly will win. Bookies take note.
Go Tigers!!!

This is a tough one to answer because so much depends on the specifics of your situation, what resources you have, what level of funding you need, how you feel about business with family and friends, how sophisticated they are, and so forth.
I knew a man who was caught for years in a business he hated because he had taken money from friends and family and he didn't have the heart to tell them he'd failed.
On the other hand, it's against the law for a bank to lend you money just because they like your business plan. You must have assets to put at risk, meaning assets you lose if you don't repay the bank. In some cases the Small Business Administration (SBA) will guarantee up to 70 percent of the loan -- ask about that at your bank, the SBA does it using the banks, not directly with you. But even in those cases you still have to put up 30 percent of the funding yourself.
And if you have an investment-worthy business -- meaning it's run by people with real startup experience -- and are offering a good shot at strong market growth, defensibility and scalability, then you might even be better off sharing your business with investors who will put money into the business in exchange for ownership.
I've written a lot about these options on my blog Planning Startups Stories. Look especially at the categories angel investment, bootstrapping, and business financing.

Stunned investors sent shares of Yum tumbling after the company said sales in China were expected to fall 4 percent. Is China's economy in trouble?
On the Street, Yum Brands, the owner of KFC, is widely considered a proxy stock for China growth. More than half its total revenue and operating profit for the third quarter of 2012 come from China.
"I think of Yum as a Chinese dog with and American tail," Cramer said. Also 44 percent of its sales come from China."
Should you take the data from Yum as a sign that China is backsliding? Although recent economic data from Beijing suggested China's economy was stabilizing, are those numbers false?
"I am going to put it on the line: absolutely not," Cramer said.
The Mad Money host thinks the most likely explanation is that Yum! is a one-off situation. "The business of fried chicken has just cooled there, I can't draw any other conclusion," he said.
And he added there are too many good things happening in China including a series of bank reserve injections that have really boosted industrial growth.
"Plus, it is worth pointing out that the United States slowed a bit, too. It was, alas, a huge disappointment for a stock that had been on a tear of late."
- Cramer's Top Dividend Stocks 2012
- Cramer's Ultimate Growth Stocks for 2012
- Cramer's Plays on a Potential Housing Rebound
What's the bottom line?
Don't draw a conclusion that China's slipping back. We have way too much evidence to the contrary.
And if you're holding Yum in your portfolio Cramer added, "YUM's a remarkably run company. I would not be surprised if the stock hasn't overreacted to this news. My inclination would be to hold on to it if you own it. I believe you could get out at a higher price."

almira vancamp and adopted son Edward Vancamp
Hello and thankyou for posting the information on Almira and her adopted son. Her adopted son's name was Edward Henry Stanley Stevenson. He was born in October 1911 in Butler PA. His birth parents were Martin (Martinius Gustafsson Appelquist) and Erika (Troedsson)Stevenson. Both immigrated to the U. S. in August of 1901 with their oldest son John Stevenson. Erika died of TB when Edward was only 2 years old at their home in Ottawa Kansas. By this time Martin and Erika had 4 children. Edward Vancamp is my Grandfather. He died in September 1966 when I was about 18 months. I have one very vague memory of him. Almira and her husband raised my grandpa but he still knew his brothers and sisters and his father, Martin. It was awesome to find Almira's information on this site and to see my grandfather's name as Almira's adopted son. Thank you!
I have tons of pictures of Edward and a few of Almira and her husband plus several pictures of the houses they lived in. I also have pictures of the McDowells and Niles.

text: Janell Baum Archives Email Author Animal Rights Group Alleges Pork Farm Abuses NPPC says independent veterinarian has confirmed no inhumane treatment at facility in question Published on: Oct 30, 2013 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print The animal rights group Mercy for Animals Tuesday released new footage of what it deemed "horrific abuses" of pregnant sows at Pipestone System's Rosewood Farms in Minnesota, calling on consumers to quit purchasing pork from one of the farm's buyers, Walmart. MFA said the footage, which was shot with a hidden camera, shows "pregnant pigs confined for nearly their entire lives in crates barely larger than their own bodies, and piglets being slammed headfirst into the ground and having their testicles ripped out and tails cut off without painkillers." In response to the video, the National Pork Producers Council said it was "questionable," noting that an independent veterinarian who was taken by law enforcement to review the facility determined there were no signs of inhumane treatment. Accordingly, no charges were filed, NPPC said.NPPC says independent veterinarian has confirmed no inhumane treatment at facility in question The facility, however, did fire one employee who was implicated in the video, according to a statement from Pipestone System. "The Pipestone System does not condone any type of willful animal abuse," the statement said, further noting that all employees receive animal welfare training that requires each employee to sign a commitment to immediately report suspected abuse or mistreatment. The employee believed to be responsible for the undercover video, Jessica Marie Buck, signed the commitment, Pipestone said, but did not report any abuse or mistreatment, violating the farm's welfare policy. "It is clear that Ms. Buck did not take specific actions aimed at protecting the welfare of the animals as the Pipestone System policies dictate, but instead was solely motivated to obtain undercover footage for Mercy for Animals without any true regard for the immediate welfare of the animals," said Dr. Luke Minion, Pipestone CEO.

DEAR AMY: My brother-in-law is a textbook case of narcissistic personality disorder. He has three young-adult children. Their mom died when they were young. They have put up with years of his raging at them and putting them on pedestals.
I have read that NPD is often passed from parent to child through successive generations. I'm not sure if his children are aware of or understand his personality disorder. Members of my husband's family recognize this man's NPD but are unwilling to involve themselves on his children's behalf.
