BANGUI, Central African Republic (AP) — Central African Republic's self-appointed leader on Saturday announced the creation of a new council that will choose an interim president, a move aimed at placating the international community after he seized power by force two weeks ago.
Meanwhile, the government reduced the hours of a curfew in place since the government's overthrow, even as gunfire crackled across the city of 700,000 after dark each night.
Michel Djotodia issued a presidential order setting up the council to lead a transitional government until elections can be held within 18 months. The announcement follows condemnation from the United States, which has failed to recognize his presidency.
Djotodia initially said he would rule until 2016, though later shortened the timeframe at the urging of heads of state from neighboring countries.
"The high council of transition will be tasked with electing a president of the republic, a head of state with a mandate of 18 months," Djotodia said in the edict.
The formation of the transition government though could further cement Djotodia's leadership as he is not barred from being among the candidates for the interim presidency.
"He is not excluded so I don't know why he couldn't run," Information Minister Christophe Gazam Betty said.
In December, Djotodia's fighters first began threatening to overthrow longtime President Francois Bozize, who himself seized power after a rebellion a decade ago.
Bozize and the rebels known as Seleka signed a peace accord in January to create a unity government along with the political opposition, though that deal came down amid accusations of mistrust and broken promises.
The rebels advanced on the capital on March 23, and Bozize fled into exile the following day as fighters took over the presidential palace.
The U.S. later said that the only "legitimate" leader in Central African Republic is the prime minister, an opposition figure appointed to the post as part of the January deal.
The body tasked with choosing an interim president will include nearly 100 participants, 10 of whom will come from Djotodia's Seleka alliance. Another six slots are going to the opposition, while nine seats are being given to Bozize allies.
It was not immediately clear how quickly the participants would choose a transitional leader, though the establishment of a selection process appears aimed at legitimizing and solidifying Djotodia's credentials as president.
Central African Republic has been wracked by a series of coups and rebellions since its independence from France in 1960. The country is rich in diamonds, gold and uranium through the chronic instability and lack of infrastructure has kept many foreign investors from working in the country.
Looters attacked the capital in the aftermath of Djotodia's ascension to power, targeting not only homes and businesses but also aid groups. A curfew remains in effect from midnight until 4 a.m., after two weeks of restricting people to their homes by 9 p.m.

About a year ago, Dominic Kinnear asked Boniek Garcia for some insight on his former club. It was a casual conversation with big consequences, the start of a long process that ended with the Dynamo signing Alexander Lopez this week as a Young Designated Player.
Houston faced C.D. Olimpia twice last year in the CONCACAF Champions League group stage and naturally the head coach sought Garcia's input. The talented winger had arrived at BBVA Compass Stadium from the Hondurans only a few weeks earlier.
"I asked [Garcia] about Olimpia and the way they played and the players, and just on the side I asked him, are there any good midfielders that you can recommend?" said Kinnear. "The first name he said was Alex Lopez."
The young playmaker was an unused substitute when the teams drew 1-1 in Honduras on August 30 last year but started and played for 70 minutes in a 1-1 tie in the return fixture in Texas on October 23.
"Normally you don't watch the other team when you're playing them but we did kind of keep an eye on him," said Kinnear. "I thought he was a good player and I continued to watch him not only for that but the Olympics and obviously this Gold Cup because it was a young team they were putting out, I wanted to see how his leadership was and I thought he was very good for them ... When teams play against you, you can read guys that way, see how they do against your team."
READ: Dynamo defy expectations with latest Designated Player signing
Garcia is delighted that his tip paid off and he is about to be joined in orange by his fellow Honduras international. Lopez could arrive a few days before next week's home game against the Seattle Sounders, depending on when his visa is confirmed.
"He's a great player, someone who can definitely contribute to the club and help us get to where we want to be, MLS Cup," Garcia told HoustonDynamo.com through a translator.
"He's a player who is very versatile, he can play a number of positions, he has very good technique and can make himself available in tight spaces and get into the box. Definitely a nice person, very easy-going."
Garcia said he spoke with Lopez when the transfer was confirmed and that the player is excited about the move and ready for the challenges of life in MLS. "We have talked in the past about the club and MLS and I've told him it's very competitive on a daily basis. There's a lot of running, it's physically demanding. He knows what he's getting into," the 28-year-old said.
Lopez has eight caps for the national team and is considered a rising star in his home country. He made four starts and one substitute appearance for Honduras in last month's Gold Cup, including the game against Trinidad & Tobago at BBVA Compass Stadium. The 21-year-old also played three times in last year's London Olympics, an experience which Garcia said helped Lopez to mature as a player and person.
READ: Lopez recounts the 10 best moments of his career thus far
His record of 18 goals and 34 assists in 51 league games for Olimpia testifies to his creative and goalscoring potential. Kinnear expects to use Lopez in a variety of positions.
"He's a good midfielder, can play out wide, in the middle, a good passer of the ball and he has good movement. Even though he's 21 he has good experience at the professional level and he's going to come in and help us," he said.
"He's scored some great goals. I think in the last year his minutes increased with Olimpia and therefore his production increased. That's the sign of a good player, he's not satisfied. From our understanding he's very hungry and happy to be coming here.
"He's played some good internationals, he's just on the fringe of making that senior team for World Cup qualifiers, he's been involved in squads. Speaking to the Honduran coach [Luis Fernando Suárez], he speaks very highly of him as well, feels he's got a lot more growth to go and is a very capable player."
The start of Champions League play as the MLS regular season creeps towards its climax means the coming months will be crammed for the Dynamo. The team has six games in August and seven in September. So Kinnear is planning on treating Lopez as a player of great potential who can also contribute straight away.
"When you look at the schedule we have coming up, he's going to play. And he'll probably play in the middle and he'll probably play out wide. I don't think we're going to designate him in one place because of the amount of shuffling we're going to have to do with this line-up coming into these games. It's going to be a lot, some guys are going to be asked to do some things they're not normally doing but it's in sacrifice to the team and he's no different," he said.
Kinnear says that Lopez's arrival adds midfield depth which is critical given the inevitable absences due to injury, international duty and suspension that rack up during every season.
"We have three guys out wide, really – natural wide guys with Boney [Garcia], Andrew [Driver] and Brad [Davis]. But Brad's playing a lot of games and Boney's playing a lot of games with internationals, Andrew Driver obviously has picked up a little bit of an injury. So you always want a guy who's comfortable going forward with the ball," he said.
"A lot of people I've noticed have said, 'you've got a lot of midfielders'. But if you look at the attacking part of it, the three main attackers are those three guys and at times we've only had one of those guys available. So I think to have another guy in that type of mold of looking to go forward, his movement, is an important one for us. That's the reason why we were looking at him."

Manchester man sustains life-threatening injuries in Bedford crash
August 26. 2014 2:13PM
BEDFORD - A Manchester man sustained life-threatening injuries in a head-on collision on Route 101 during the afternoon commute Monday that also injured a Bedford woman and involved three vehicles.
At the accident scene between Covenant Way and Jenkins Road, police found two destroyed vehicles in the eastbound travel and breakdown lanes that had collided in a head-on fashion a little after 5 p.m.
After a preliminary investigation, Bedford police believe a tan 1999 Ford Contour operated by a 20-year-old Manchester man was traveling westbound when it crossed the yellow centerline for unknown reasons and struck a landscape trailer being towed by a pickup truck traveling east. The Contour then struck a grey 2004 Chevy 2500 pickup truck also headed eastbound.
The driver of this Chevy was a 49-year-old Bedford woman who was taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The driver of the Contour suffered life-threatening injuries and was ultimately flown to an out-of state hospital.
Traffic on Route 101 was re-routed for nearly two hours while the crash was investigated.
The Bedford Police Department's Technical Accident Reconstruction Team is currently investigating the crash and is asking any witnesses not yet interviewed by police to call the Bedford Police Department at 472-5113.

More "Now and Then"
Postcards and information below !
This is a strange postcard and the original looks as though it has been hand-coloured. I wish I could date ,it but, alas, there is nothing on the card to give a clue. I'm fascinated by the guy standing at the pavement edge outside the Clarendon. He could be a policeman with his tall hat! The Mechanics institute was a great landmark, also. The sheer size of it made it unmissable !
Same spot in 2007 - taken on a Sunday morning and the shops are open!
This card of Stockport Road, taken from near the junction with Rowan Street and looking towards Zion [although you can't see it] is dated 1907, but I think it's very easily recognised even today. When I was young there were still shops there on the right - Mr Dain's paint shop, who also sold lamp oil, McGowan's paper shop and then I think there was a wool shop just beyond them, although in the mid-50s Roy and Lil Kerfoot opened a very small grocery business in there. Then there was Griffiths shop on the corner of Knight Street.
Same spot in 2007.
We can't thank you enough for sharing all your great postcards and information with us !
Keep them coming, Susan. They are very much appreciated by the Blog Readers !

Hi Susan, Some of these photos are in the new book on Hyde "Hyde through Time" by Lee Brown. Its an excellent book, well worth the money, its so colourful aswell, and that first postcard showing Market St, policeman front of the Clarendon etc, Lee puts this picture around the 1905 mark, and I think by the way the people are dressed, he is probably spot on!
- Sunday, 07 April, 2013
Hi Trish. When i submitted these shots for the blog my copy of Lee's book hadn't arrived, but when it did i was amazed that he'd had the same idea as me in re-photographing the locations of old postcard shots. I did it over several visits to Hyde, but just so that i could put together an album for myself to remind me of then and now. Well done to Lee for being enterprising! Actually, although Lee in a previous post admits to two glaring mistakes, I have found quite a few snippets of misinformation. Without looking at the book, I can give one example - Lee describes the sweetshop alongside the Stanney's as Harrisons, but the actual sweetshop was Hett's and was located further up Clarendon Street at the corner of the Borough Arcade. Harrison's, as shown in the picture, was a woolshop and occupied two of the single storey units between the cinema and the bus station.
- Sunday, 07 April, 2013
Hi Susan, You both had the same idea, thats amazing. Still enjoyed your post though Susan. And you are quite right about there being one or two mistakes in Lees book, I had spotted them myself, but I suppose there are mistakes in a lot of books, didn't spoil the enjoyment of the book though. One mistake I noticed was Lee said the Queens visit to Hyde was 1967. I know for a fact it was May 1968, because I was seven months pregnant at the time, and I stood at the Grapes Hotel Gee Cross to watch her go past after she had planted trees on Werneth Low.

Isn't the large building on the first photo the PSA building on the corner of Market St and Union St? I thought the Mechanics Institute had been on Clarendon Place.
- Monday, 08 April, 2013
No, the PSA building was never as tall as that. The Institute towered above everything around it. I have a postcard showing it close up, which I'll scan and send to the Blog.
I wonder if you're thinking of the Reform Club, which was in Clarendon Place - that was a fairly tall building.
- Monday, 08 April, 2013
Thanks, Susan. As you say, I am probably confusing it with the Reform Club in some way. That's the building in the photo at the top of the blog, isn't it? Thanks for the great pictures.
- Monday, 08 April, 2013
Hi Alan, yes that's the Reform Club on the blog photo. I've scanned my card of the Mechanics and sent it to Nancy, so maybe you'll be able to see it in more detail. It was massive! Glad you like the pictures.

The tram on the postcard is the small single decker tram that ran from Oldham via Denton to Gee Coss, and therefore provides a date somewhere between 1898 and 1903. I would date it to about 1900.
- Tuesday, 09 April, 2013
The shop on the corner in the early part of 1901 was a butchers owned by the Ireland family, it was taken over by David Hy Shaw sometime in mid 1901. The Shaw family was from Newton, where they also ran a butchers. This would help to date the poscard between 1901 and 1903.In 1903 the electric car company began running a tram service to Stockport, these were much bigger tram cars than the trams that terminated a Gee Cross.
- Wednesday, 10 April, 2013
That's really interesting to hear. I have a model single deck tram in the blue Ashton livery, supposedly a copy of the one which ran from GX to Oldham. Thank you for solving another mystery!
- Wednesday, 10 April, 2013
Thanks to everyone who suggested dates for this postcard. Looking again at the 2007 shot of this scene, it has just occurred to me how tall the Conservative Club building is.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Filipino women forced into prostitution by the Japanese military during World War II marched Wednesday to the Japanese Embassy to demand justice and to criticize Philippine President Benigno Aquino III's silence on the issue during his visit to Japan.
Six women in their 80s and some two dozen supporters and activists picketed the embassy to call on Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to apologize and compensate them for their ordeal.
"Abe should be made to answer for what the Japanese soldiers did to us," said Estelita Dy, 84. "Justice is what we need, justice now."
Dy denied she and others were voluntary prostitutes, as Japanese nationalists have contended. She said her ordeal began when she was arrested by Japanese troops and shoved into a truck against her will.
"We are already old (but) we will not stop until we can obtain real justice, until we can make sure that there will be peace based on justice," said Virginia Villarma, also 84.
The women and their supporters say Japan must go beyond statements and resolve the issue after a Japanese panel last week affirmed the validity of a study that led to Japan's landmark 1993 apology for forcing Asian women into wartime prostitution.
South Korea and China have criticized Abe for backpedaling from past Japanese apologies and acknowledgements of wartime atrocities, and the two countries saw the recent review as an attempt to undermine the 1993 apology.
Historians say 20,000 to 200,000 women from across Asia, many of them Koreans, were forced to provide sex to Japan's front-line soldiers. In addition to insisting the so-called "comfort women" worked in wartime brothels voluntarily, Japanese nationalists also say Japan has been unfairly criticized for a practice they say is common during war.
Rechilda Extremadura, executive director of the group Lila-Pilipina that supports former sex slaves, said the 1993 apology must only be a first step and Japan must do more for the women in their twilight years.
"If they can't have justice now, it will be too late for the Japanese government and for the people of Japan," she added.
Extremadura also criticized Aquino, who met with Abe on Tuesday in Japan, for "not representing the plight of the Filipino comfort women" and for never mentioning the issue during his visit.

Please bear with me - my baby and I have had so much going on over the last month (since about July 5) that I can't tell what's related and what isn't, so I'm going to put it all here in case something happens to be relevant.
He is about to turn three months old. At his last weigh-in about a week and a half ago, he was 13 lbs 1 oz - so probably around 13.5 lbs now? He has 12 wet diapers a day and 1 dirty diaper every two days. This is down from the beginning of the month when this started (used to be 14 wet diapers and 2 or 3 dirty diapers per day). The consistency of his stool has also changed. The texture is like peanut butter, and the color is too, only a little darker. It also smells foul, not like the cooked-root-vegetable smell that it used to have.
The main issue at the moment is that my son has been spitting up after almost every meal. I know spitting up is fairly normal, but he's started to do it 2 or even 3 times after each meal.
The second big issue is that he doesn't seem to be getting enough to drink at the breast. He pulls off after the flow of milk stops (it doesn't seem to last more than 2 or 3 minutes). I'll switch him to the other breast, but he starts to scream because it's taking a long time to get a letdown. (I used to have a fairly fast and powerful letdown.)
I've been burping him after he pulls off the breast, but that doesn't seem to help with the screaming, and doesn't always have much effect on the spitting up.
We have talked to his doctor about the spitting up. He takes Zantac for what appears to be reflux (we started this in June, and have tried increasing the dosage singe the spitting up began). His pediatrician ordered an ultrasound on his stomach, which we got a week ago, but haven't heard back about yet. I also mentioned the crying at the breast to her, but she didn't have much to suggest, other than that some difference in the way I hold him on that side could be bothering him.
Other things:
I've noticed that my son doesn't like to drink from the right breast as much as he does the left (on some of those occasions when he refuses the second breast, it's usually the right one, and he will sometimes eat from the left after refusing the right). The milk from that breast is also more bluish and watery than the milk on the left.
I noticed around the same time that the spitting up started that my son had thrush. His doctor gave him a prescription for Nystatin, and it appears to have cleared up. We are still finishing the bottle.
Also at that time, I noticed that my son was starting to suck his thumb constantly. He used to suck his fingers or whole hand as a sign of hunger, but now I don't know what to think when he sucks him thumb.
I think that's everything, but I will edit this if I remember anything else.
Edit, another question: My son cries and screeches sometimes after spitting up. Then he puts his thumb back in his mouth. If he's still hungry (or hungry again), how long should I wait after the spitting up before I try to feed him again?

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has scheduled a meeting for Tuesday with the bipartisan leadership of Congress.
Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will meet in the Oval Office with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
The meeting comes at the height of Senate debate over immigration legislation. Obama on Monday called on the House to act promptly after the Senate votes on the legislation, with hopes of completing the immigration overhaul before Congress takes its August recess.
Obama last met with all four leaders on March 1 after he and Congress were unable to avoid automatic budget cuts from taking effect.
The meeting will be private and closed to the media.

[Intro: DJ Mendoza]
Alright I'll try to do a British accent
Hello, this is Mendoza from the Dean's List calling
I was just calling you back on that label offer
I was just wondering what you guys were thinking when you said that
We don't go by any of those formulas, strategies
We do whatever we want, when we want to
And yeah, especially we are not down for any deadlines
[Verse 1: Sonny Shotz]
Mendoza, what the fuck is a deadline?
You know I kill a verse, a dead line
Drop a couple lines just so I can wow'em
Reason why the mixtape sounded like an album
Everybody bugging like "Why you so different though?"
But I'm the same, I just never met typical
That's why my last name is what she does every night
Sometimes I wish I could just die and live a different life
They keep on yelling, I'm telling 'em all "Don't do that"
Keep it moving, we cruising so "Baby, who is that?"
I'm on my Beantown shit, you know we good, we good
Yelling "Fuck it I'm Young" just like we should, we should
Half these rappers are actors, I guess it's so Hollywood
Never real and if they are then it's probably just because
They've been living great and doing shit they never would
Never sellout, I'm jelling out everything they never could
[Hook: Dani Ummel]
"Die, freedom die"
That's all I hear inside these label lies
They just wanna see me light up the sky
But tonight I'm taking shots, putting bullets aside
And I'm running for that top spot, never looking down
Keep my head above the bullshit so I can never drown
Tell 'em I'mma be okay, I'mma be good
Doing everything they wish they did but never really could
[Verse 2: Sonny Shotz]
I'm a caveman, 'fuck I need a pen for?
Every verse is just my life, no mentor
I grew myself up, then we blew ourselves up
This time next year you will probably tell us (Uh oh)
"I used to know you back in high school"
Now you're flying first-class, that's what I call high school
I fucking hate this beat, give me something I can flex on
I hope you hate this shit like Jesus, play the fucking next song
And when you play that, you realize
The game's whack, then play back
We changed rap

With the NBA draft just nine days away, here's a roundup of mock drafts, along with projections for the Sixers at No. 15.
ESPN.com's Chad Ford has the Sixers taking Kentucky power forward Terrence Jones:
The Sixers might have a tough choice here between Jones, Sullinger and Arnett Moultrie. They need size, but also shooting. Jones may be the compromise. He measured out very well for a power forward at the combine, has an NBA body and proved to be a solid rebounder and shot-blocker in college. He has tremendous upside if he puts his heart into it.
SI.com's Sam Amick has the Sixers selecting Duke shooting guard Austin Rivers:
The Sixers are well-equipped in their backcourt with young Jrue Holiday and Evan Turner, but Rivers could fit in nicely with his ability to create his own shot and play both positions. The bigger [Terrence] Ross is the better shooter and athlete of the two, but he doesn't have Rivers' versatility.
Jeff Goodman of CBSSports.com also has them taking Rivers:
Doug Collins and the Sixers need scoring desperately. Doc's kid does just that.
Sean Deveney of The Sporting News thinks the Sixers will end up with UConn guard Jeremy Lamb:
The Sixers could look to move up, they could deal Andre Iguodala, they could deal out of the draft altogether. But they need shooters, and Lamb can shoot.
Draft Express has the Sixers going with Baylor power forward Perry Jones.
Hoops Hype projects Mississippi State power forward Arnett Moultrie to the Sixers:
One of the most athletic bigs in the country, Moultrie is a force on the glass and scores in a variety of ways. He can even step out and bury college three pointers. With great length and agility, Moultrie is an intriguing option for teams looking for size and athleticism. The two big complaints about him are his attitude and lack of strength. His intensity level is not always great, particularly on the defensive end. He also seems to be under 230 pounds, but appears to have the frame to add weight once he gets with NBA trainers. Moultrie is getting looks in the late lottery to mid first round.
Steve Alexander of Rotoworld.com has the Sixers taking North Carolina power forward John Henson:
Elton Brand is getting older and the Sixers could use a defensive banger to replace him. Henson should be just that. If they don't go with Henson here, Terrence Jones would be another solid option.
Matt Moore of CBSSports.com projects Henson's teammate, Tyler Zeller, to the Sixers:
Doug Collins will love this guy, and he's a significant upgrade over Spencer Hawes, saving them the money on re-signing him.
Scott Howard-Cooper of NBA.com has them going with Ohio State power forward Jared Sullinger:
Sullinger drops, but maybe to an ideal place. The 76ers can use a power player, and the experienced Sullinger will be an interior presence.

Maine workers hope Hostess plant will reopen under new ownership
BIDDEFORD, Maine (AP) � Workers at a Hostess plant in Biddeford, Maine, say they hope it will be reopened under new ownership following the company's decision to cease operations.
The Texas-based company told striking workers that the company would go out of business if they didn't return to their jobs Thursday evening. Pickets remained outside the Biddeford plant on Friday.
Thousands of members of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union went on strike last week after rejecting a contract offer that cut wages and benefits.
Fifty-two-year-old Rich Reardon says he and fellow workers are confident that the Biddeford plant will be bought and reopened because the 13-year-old plant is modern and efficient.
The closing would mean the loss of about 18,500 jobs. The Biddeford plant employs about 330 people.

Living large. For decades, it has been the goal of many Americans; built on the belief that bigger is better, writes Linda S. Haymes in HomeStyle.
Young couples begin with "starter homes" and work their square footage up from there. As the family grows, the small car driven as a college student gets traded in for an SUV to tote the kids to all those activities. And while a pickup is great; one with an extended cab is better.
Restaurants offer all-you-can-eat buffets, fast-food chains offer oversize burgers, and convenience stores serve up 64-ounce soft drinks.
But the tide of consumerism appears to be turning. With the rise of environmental consciousness emphasis seems to be shifting to recycling and reusing what we already have instead of making more. See Saturday's Arkansas Democrat-Gazette to meet some people who are thinking smaller.

Battle of Beirut: Myriam Klink and Nemr Abou Nassar get nasty
New Lebanese starlet, Myriam Klink, has already come under fire from the country's King of Comedy, Nemr Abou Nassar. The singer has made headlines for her raunchy single '3ntar': Myriam says the song is about her cat but Nemr is convinced it's more 'pussy' than 'cat.'
The comedian took to his Twitter account to mock her new single: "So Myriam Klink's video now has over 22,000 views. OK from now on, I'm going to do my shows dressed provocatively and singing about pussy."
"You are the cutest girl ever! I think it's adorable that you would consider urself a singer and that abomination, a song", he added.
But Myriam hit back by cursing Nemr on her Twitter account in no uncertain terms: "The only bitch is you bitch," she wrote and went on to rip into the comedian as a "gay asshole". In response, Nemr posted a clip to video-sharing site, YouTube to let Myriam know what he really thought about her and other Lebanese singers who exposed more skin than talent.
What do you think about Myriam's provocative song? Is Nemr right? Tell us what you think below.

MIDDLEBURY — The town should step back and consider long-term community needs — including those of the Ilsley Library and downtown parking — before seriously considering ceding public property to Middlebury College in exchange for $5.5 million toward a new, relocated municipal building and a gym.
BRANDON — Brandon has a budget. Voters went back to the polls for a fourth time on Tuesday and the ayes had it, 516-399.
The latest version of the municipal budget asked voters to approve a $3,147,634 spending plan, with $2,331,134 to be raised by property taxes. That amount represents a $84,084, or 3.7 percent, increase in spending over the current budget. Now that it's approved, the tax rate will increase to 71.27 cents per $100 of property value, an increase of 2.49 cents over the current rate of 68.78 cents.

MIDDLEBURY — An original, fast-paced initiative of the Town Hall Theater's educational outreach arm has combined favorite scenes from Shakespeare's most popular plays into one performance.
Called "Straight-up Shakespeare: The Things We Do for Love," the 50-minute romp through the drama-filled world of Shakespeare's comedies and tragedies is THT's answer to increasing requests for live Shakespeare shows.

WEYBRIDGE — In a place like Vermont, history is all around us — even hidden in the ground. Archaeologists are currently digging into the pre-Columbian history at a site along the banks of the Otter Creek behind the Huntington Falls hydroelectric facility in Weybridge.
"It's a Native American encampment, probably dating back to the Middle Woodland period, about 1,600 years ago," explained David Beale, a staff archaeologist of the Northeast Archaeology Research Center (NEARC) in Farmington, Maine.
ADDISON COUNTY — The almost daily occurrence of torrential downpours that many have grown accustomed to over the past several weeks has done worse than dampen the spirits of those who hoped for a sunny summer.
The rain is wreaking havoc on area feed growers by delaying the cutting of the second hay crop, preventing corn planting, and preventing existing crops from having proper nutrients due to flooding and the inability to spread manure, says Jeff Carter, agronomy specialist at UVM Extension in Middlebury.
MIDDLEBURY — The endless, unwanted phone calls began for Betty around six weeks ago. The elderly Addison County resident picks up her phone, and the caller — sometimes with an Indian accent — promises her a great deal on emergency response or computer services, all the while trying to mine her for personal information.
"It's irritating," said Betty, an octogenarian and already a Lifeline customer through Porter Medical Center who asked that her real name not be used.
STARKSBORO — Those who have unhappily watched the trends of young people leaving the state and farms closing up shop have reason to celebrate the launch of Footprint Farm in Starksboro this year.
Three young farmers — St. George native Jake Mendell, 25, and California natives Taylor Hutchison, 25, and Nathan Hammer, 32 — started work in April on their diversified, 9-acre farm at Starksboro's Common Ground Center.
And already the trio says they have found a warm welcome for their mix of vegetables, flowers and animals.

CHICAGO, March 17 (UPI) -- Men and women who prefer working from home are feeling the heat as the decision by U.S. Internet giant Yahoo to ban telecommuting focuses renewed attention on the work-at-home culture.
One-third of U.S. workers who are not self-employed say they spend time during normal business hours working from home, a recent Harris poll found.
Does it matter where someone works, as long as the work as the work gets done? While 9-in-10 American workers agree working from home provides flexibility, more than a third of those surveyed say working from home hurts productivity.
The image of telecommuting employees taking conference calls in their pajamas with one eye on the computer screen and the other on a daytime talk show is unfair, workers say, despite concerns voiced at Yahoo that some employees weren't even logging into the system on days they were working at home.
The online survey of 2,219 adults, conducted Feb. 28-March 4, found 34 percent of people work from home at least occasionally. Nine percent work from home primarily or exclusively and another 8 percent spend about half their time working from home. Two-thirds (66 percent) do not work from home at all.
Of those who work from home, 40 percent are between the ages of 18 to 34. While parents of children under the age of 18 are more likely to work from home than those without kids, (41 percent versus 31 percent, men are more likely to work from home than women (37 percent versus 31 percent).
While 64 percent of those surveyed said working from home increases productivity and work output, 35 percent said working from home hurts speed and work quality.
What are employees sacrificing by being out of the office? It's not just face time with the boss, it's the elevator platitudes, conversations around the water cooler and cubicle chit-chat with co-workers that are often cited as a waste of time but actually result in closer working relationships, collaboration and creativity, supporters of Yahoo's recent policy change say.
While 85 percent of workers say telecommuting enables employees to balance work and family needs, 84 percent agree working together in an office setting adds to team camaraderie. Harris Interactive said the survey found 83 percent of workers agree some of the best ideas and decisions can result from impromptu, in-person meetings and conversations.
The survey said 83 percent of workers see telecommuting as a significant job perk and 61 percent said the option to telecommute has or would have an impact on their decision to take or stay at a job.
Melissa Thomas-Hunt, associate professor of behavior research at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business, says it appears Yahoo's work at home arrangements needed to be restructured because they no longer met the needs of the business. "A more targeted approach, however, might have achieved the same outcomes of increased productivity and collaboration without inciting the backlash," Hunt told United Press International.
Thomas-Hunt said the new policy issued by Yahoo Chief Executive Officer Marissa Mayer may cause more companies to examine their work flexibility policies, but this examination may actually lead to more flexible policies as organizations observe the backlash brought on by Yahoo's recent actions.
"Flexibility in work arrangements is a societal issue," Thomas-Hunt said. "We need parents and elder-caregivers who can be present in their family members lives. Our communities also benefit from having capable individuals who are able to direct energy into schools, not for profits and local activities. None of this can be done if employees spend all their time at work or commuting to and from work."
While there may be some people who abuse the privilege of working from home, Thomas-Hunt says the reality is most employees aren't trying to get one over on the company. "They usually make up more than the time spent away from their work by working early in the morning and late at night," she said.
Will Yahoo's new policy make it harder to attract and retain top talent? Thomas-Hunt says a revitalized Yahoo may offset any perceived constraints of the ban. "If Mayer is able to revitalize Yahoo's culture and create a coveted work environment with interesting work, then the ban on working at home may not discourage top talent," she said.
A survey of 120 human resource executives by outplacement and executive coaching firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas found 80 percent of the companies currently offer some form of telecommuting option. Of those companies, 97 percent said they have no plan to eliminate that benefit.
"If a company is having success with its telecommuting program, it is unlikely to will pull the plug on it simply because Yahoo did," John Challenger, chief executive officer of the Chicago-based firm, said in a statement. "It is just as unlikely that a company will not implement telecommuting because Yahoo did not have success with it. No two companies are the same, so each must evaluate policies such as telecommuting based on how it will affect its customers, employees and bottom line,."

MIAMI (AP) — Hurricane Cristina has strengthened off Mexico's Pacific coast but still poses no threat to land.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Cristina's maximum sustained winds late Wednesday were 100 mph (155 kph).
The hurricane was centered about 230 miles (370 kilometers) southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico, and was moving northwest at about 6 mph (9 kph), farther out to sea.
The center said some additional strengthening is possible during the next day or two and that swells generated by Cristina are affecting parts of Mexico's southwestern coast. The swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.

More than in most animated films, the art design and color palette of Wreck-It Ralph permit unlimited sets, costumes and rules, giving the movie tireless originality and different behavior in every different cyber word.
There are more videogame cameos and winks than you can shake a Wiimote at - even the Konami Code, the gamer's paternoster, makes an appearance - but the real success of the film is its emotional core and the relationship between the two misfits.
With Halloween bags still brimming, it's an ideal time for the inventive candy-colored fun and wicked humor that is Wreck-It Ralph.
With a mix of retro eye-candy for grown-ups and a thrilling, approachable storyline for the tykes, the film casts a wide and beguiling net.

OK for kids 7+
Game-themed movie mixes potty humor with strong messages.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Wreck-It Ralph brings video games to life in a way that will appeal to both kids and adults. The story is about a "bad guy" who deserts his classic arcade game to prove that he's not so bad after all, turning Disney's animated adventure into the tale of an underdog searching for a new identity. The movie is accurate in the way it presents popular games/game genres, so you can expect some action-packed scenes, especially in the parts of the movie that take place in a first-person shooter game (guns, aliens, etc.). Game characters can die, but it's only permanent if it happens outside their home game. In one scene presented comically, someone grabs a zombie's heart out of its chest. There's also a little bit of drinking and kissing -- and a fair amount of potty humor/language ("butt," "doody," etc.) -- amid the movie's deeper messages about identity, compassion, loyalty, and challenging the status quo.
Educational value: Kids are introduced to tech terms and concepts like game code, consoles, and avatars.
Messages: Characters learn to embrace the way they're programmed, rather than change themselves for others. Characters also discover the importance of walking a mile in someone else's shoes before judging them. Themes of inclusivity/exclusivity and selflessness/selfishness are woven throughout the story in many ways.
Role models: Ralph's quest for peer approval turns into a journey about becoming proud of who he is and what he's able to contribute. He doesn't let his official "bad guy" status overshadow the qualities that make him good: He's kind, resourceful, and sticks up for the underdog. Despite her potty-mouth insults, Vanellope is a spunky, clever, and determined character. In a game that's stereotypically girly, she challenges the status quo. She finds a way to channel her "defectiveness" as a game "glitch" into something positive.
Violence and scariness: In one scene, a first-person shooter video game comes to life. Characters from this game (who are more realistic looking than some of the others) fire big guns at aliens, which end up invading other games. In a brief and comic-toned scene, a character impulsively grabs a zombie's heart out of his chest, but no real damage is done. In another flashback, a character is eaten by an alien bug. Calhoun and Ralph are the most aggressive characters; they occasionally punch others and destroy their surroundings. Cautionary tales about characters' deaths (if a character dies in a game outside of their own, they can't regenerate) and homelessness (games that are put out of order) may be upsetting to younger kids. One character does die, but it's in his own game, so he regenerates.
Sexy stuff: Two game characters fall in love and get married. They exchange a smooch, as well as a more passionate kiss in another scene. One iconic game character, a male wrestler, wears only his underwear. In one scene, Ralph disrobes an unconscious space commander to steal his suit.
Language: Rude humor and frequent name-calling includes insults like "I hate you," "shut your chew hole," "brat," "pussy willows," "doody," and "numbskull." The song "Shut Up and Drive" by Rihanna plays during one scene. Other iffy language includes "frickishly" and "butt load."
Consumerism: Iconic video game characters -- like Pac-Man, Bowser, and Sonic the Hedgehog -- make cameo appearances. There are also many references to candy/cookie/sweets brands (Oreo, Devil Dogs, NesQuick, Laffy Taffy, Mentos, etc.).
Drinking, drugs and smoking: In one scene, a game character pours himself a martini. Another scene takes place in a game called Tappers, in which characters drink root beer from beer mugs. Characters are also briefly seen drinking at a dance party.

Fans of Disney's "Peter Pan" can now update their movie collection with the new Diamond Edition on shelves now for a limited time. Disney is celebrating the classic movie's 60th anniversary with the release, which includes three discs (Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Copy, plus a Storybook App). The Diamond Edition also features the short film "Growing Up With Nine Old Men," never-before-seen deleted scenes and a never-before-heard song.
We were excited to get the chance to speak with Paul Collins, who voiced John Darling. The upbeat New York resident with an endearing sense of humor continues to entertain audiences today.
Click here to enter our contest to win the Diamond Edition.
How does it feel to be part of such an iconic movie that's just as influential today as it was 60 years ago when it first came out?
Well, it's extraordinary; it actually makes me feel very proud. … It's wonderful. My daughter was raised on it, and I actually did a one-character play about J.M. Barrie [the author of "Peter Pan"] called "Courage" off-Broadway. J.M. Barrie has been a big influence on my life.
I don't know if you follow Facebook, but we saw that Peter Pan has 2.3 million fans. How does it feel to know the movie has such a huge fan base 60 years later?
All I know is I get asked to sign things a lot from "Peter Pan." I had no idea it was 2.3 million; I don't follow Facebook, but I did buy some stock recently in it. But no, I had no idea it was that popular. It's wonderful … it's like a fairy tale for the ages.
Have you ever been to South Florida?
It's gorgeous. We went there last year for the first time in the winter. I have a camper that fits in the back of my pickup truck, and we went down and we camped all through Florida. … My favorite was the Everglades, and of course the Everglades in the winter without the mosquitoes is a lot better. … I think South Florida is fabulous.
Did you stay in contact with any of the cast?
No, actually a lot of them died. It was 1953. But Kathryn Beaumont and I, who played Wendy, my sister, we had not seen each other until there was a release about five years ago. … Margaret [Kerry] has been very nice; she played Tinker Bell, and we got together and spent some time together and had lunch. But prior to that, no; from '53 until I guess about five years ago, nobody had been in contact. … Hopefully I'll get to see them again this time. Everybody was just so wonderful to work with. Bobby Driscoll, Peter, was excellent to deal with. We had to go to school … for about four hours in the schoolroom, and the rest of the time we were working. We went to school on the set. I think I discovered Shakespeare's sonnets at that time.
Did you meet Walt Disney?
Yes, I did. I actually met him twice. He came into the recording room when we first started and wished everybody well and talked. And he had a party for kids while the film was being shot, and I was invited to that. And that was very nice because we got to talk a little more. He wanted to know how things were going, and we got to chat a little bit. And I really at 15 was fairly unknowledgeable and didn't realize this is Walt Disney, the person who made animation into an art form. It was a really pleasant conversation.
What was your most memorable moment from filming?
When we did 'Peter Pan' … they didn't have computer animation then, which moves the movements along automatically and smoothly, we actually recorded it on tape, on voice. And then we went into the studio after we got it all together and all done, we went into the studio in costume, and we acted out, lip-synching to our own recorded voices. And doing things like fly — we were on a board that you could move around. And then we did sword fighting — all the stuff that was going to require movement to be drawn in accurately, and the animators could go frame by frame so the movement was smooth and not jerky. So we actually got to act out a lot of it, and that was great fun.
Did anyone inspire you in your interpretation of John Darling's voice?
I've been acting since I was 5. I did my first movie when I was 5 in England. And I lived in England until I was 10 when my parents and I all moved to the United States in 1947, and so I had been doing some acting, and really, I just felt John was very close to me. I wore my glasses, and of course they gave me the top hat. But I was just kind of being myself because that's how I was raised in England. … And also, having been English, I was quite polite at that time; I lost that later.
Did being part of the movie help keep you young at heart as you grew up?
It was certainly always something to contact, and yes, I think that's right. That's a very interesting question. I think so. I was 24 playing on Broadway … playing the part of a 17-year-old, and so it certainly kept me feeling young.
You've done it all — movies, TV, theater. What is your favorite acting outlet?
I love to act, and I actually prefer acting in film or on stage, rather than television. Stage is great because you get to rehearse for a month and become a part of a company. And with a film, also that happens. So you have your little families … for a while.

Some of you may not be aware that the state of Victoria in Australia is suffering its worst natural disaster ever. Wildfires are raging and have killed at least 160 people, many of them very near Melbourne. In addition to this, hundreds of homes have been lost.
I have sent personal messages to those members of the forum who either come from Melbourne, or from Australia but do not say from which city, asking if they are OK. So far I've not heard back from any of them, but it's only been a day, so they're probably busy going about their usual business. Or they have over-efficient spam filters. I hope. I'll report back when I get replies.
There's absolutely nothing we can do but hope for the best, so let's all do that shall we? Hopeful thoughts to everyone in Australia, and and deepest sympathy to those who have lost family or friends.
My blog is Food and Shoes
I used to live in an area prone to seasonal wildfires and have been evacuated from my (former) home several times. My heart goes out to those in Victoria! I hope everyone is safe!
Yeah it's pretty terrible! I live in Melbourne city, not out in the country so I am fine (thank god). The Boy's family live in a charmed town where they have smoke visible on four sides, but haven't had any fire, so that's brilliant.
Worst thing about all this devastation and ~100 people dead? They think people deliberately lit these fires on a gusty day with temperatures of ~46 degrees celcius.
I'm so glad you're OK. I knew there were people on the forum who were in or around Melbourne but didn't show up in a search for Australians.
It's impossible to understand those arsonists - I do hope they catch them. I don't see any reason why they can't charge them with mass murder.
My heart goes out to all those poor people in the fire areas. It is just so awful.
We also have seasonal fires here in California, and even with correct landscaping, ie. no vegetation with in so many yards of the home, sometimes the fire storms get so bad and move so fast there's nothing to do but try to leave as quick as possible and pray. Fire storms make their own weather and even if the regular wind dies down, the storm will generate it's own wind.
I hope there's a level in hell for arsonists.
I hope no more people die, and they get it under control soon.

Federal Furniture
Years ago I discovered Federal furniture and knew that with beautiful veneer, superb inlay and simple carving, this would be my furniture period of choice.

Federal furniture has much to offer woodworkers. In addition to the traditional joinery, there is veneering, inlay (stringing, banding as well as pictorial), reeding, curved work and some carving. Initially it was the rigid symmetry that drew me to the style – followed closely by the lavish use of highly figured woods. (What woodworker doesn't appreciate beautiful wood?)
Of course, the defining features of Federal furniture are the veneers and inlays. Veneers had been a feature of William & Mary furniture, and a limited amount of veneer and inlay work occurred during the Queen Anne and Chippendale periods, but nothing like on the scale seen during the Federal period (1785 – 1810).

It's hard to top a great meal enjoyed in a modern space with a well-curated wine list in the center of bustling, historic San Marco Square. Taverna recently expanded after four years in the former Café Carmon spot. It's evident that Executive Chef Sam Efron and wine director/wife Kiley Wynne Efron are passionate about the new environment and wider-ranging menu.
So what's new? Taverna now boasts a quick-casual lunch service along with an option for lunch delivery, a classy private dining room and the addition of craft cocktails (they'd offered only beer and wine before) to the menu.
The menu remains European-inspired, drawing from both Spain and Italy. Start with the house-made caprese ($10) with prosciutto ($6), meatballs and peasant bread ($10), sautéed calamari ($12) or citrus-marinated beet salad ($9).
The caprese's house-made cheese is amazing in and of itself, but when paired with fresh basil, juicy tomato, balsamic and olive oil, it's a huge hit. (The upcharge to add prosciutto is worth every penny.) The meatballs were also good, and the calamari served with Israeli couscous, tomatoes, garlic, capers, niçoise olives and a touch of lemon zest was just the right amount of spicy.
Speaking of great cheese, Taverna's customizable cheese-and-charcuterie plates are another smart way to start your meal. And since the selections change frequently, be sure to partake in Sweet Grass Dairy's delightfully creamy Green Hill, from Thomasville, Ga. The meat selections include popular cured meats like jamon Serrano, prosciutto di parma, hot capocollo, soppressata, Genoa salami and chorizo.
Lately, it's been hard to pass up the Monday night special — any of Taverna's signature brick-oven pizzas paired with a pint of cold Intuition Ale Works beer for $12. The pizzas usually run up to $18, and another $5 for the beer. (That's 11 bucks you can put toward dessert.) I recommend the soppressata — topped with house-made mozzarella, juicy robust San Marzano tomatoes, Italian dry salami and a fried egg with a delightfully runny center.
The made-in-house pappardelle pasta with Bolognese sauce and shaved parmigiano reggiano cheese is another Italian standout. The thick flat noodles work well with the meaty sauce and fresh cheese.
End your meal on a sweet note by opting for the trio of mini mint chip ice cream sandwiches, or ask about the daily flavors of homemade ice creams and sorbets. My scoop of strawberry balsamic gelato was perfectly round and extra creamy, garnished with a crunchy little cookie.

Feb. 9, 2007
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The schedule says that the ECAC playoffs start in two weeks, but for the Yale Bulldogs Friday night's game against RPI at Ingalls certainly had a playoff feel to it. The seventh-place Engineers trailed the sixth-place Bulldogs by just one point in the standings and were clearly looking to play leapfrog. That energy translated into a 36-22 shot advantage for RPI, but 33 saves from Shivon Zilis and a pair of goals from Crysti Howser helped the Bulldogs pull out the 4-3 win.
The Engineers came out firing, outshooting Yale 9-3 in the game's first nine minutes. The first RPI shot came only 20 seconds in, with Zilis forced to make a quick glove save of a blast from Nicole McDonald. She also had to cope with a bad bounce seven minutes later that saw the puck carom off a Yale defender's skate from behind the goal to a wide-open Sarah Daniel right in front of the net. Zilis got her left leg down to deny Daniel at point-blank range and would finish with 12 saves for the period.
"I thought we had some great shifts," Yale head coach Hilary Witt said. "But I also thought that nobody except for Shivon showed up to play 60 minutes."
The Bulldogs did not manage many shots on net for the period, but they did get some quality chances. Senior forward Christina Sharun's shot rattled off the post and bounced out with seven minutes to go. As time wound down in the period, the Bulldogs set up in the RPI zone and senior forward Kristin Savard carried the puck from behind the net into the corner before feeding sophomore defenseman Helen Resor for a shot in the slot. Resor's shot was blocked but the puck came right to Howser, who deposited a nifty backhand past Ashley Mayr's glove side.
That late goal in the first, combined with an early penalty on the Engineers in the second, could have shifted momentum dramatically in Yale's favor. Instead, RPI went right back to applying heavy pressure on Zilis. The one time the Engineers could have caught her out of position -- three minutes in amidst a flurry in front of the net -- senior defenseman Regan Gilbride was perfectly positioned to grab a dangerous loose puck and clear it.
The Bulldogs extended their lead when Savard sent a pass to senior defenseman Nina Resor, whose shot from the blueline was deflected in by Zingler at 7:18.
Yale continued to take advantage of its few opportunities as the period came to a close. When two RPI defenders collided in their own zone, sophomore forward Danielle Kozlowski raced in to pounce on the loose puck. She then skated in all alone on Mayr and buried her second goal of the season.
Any momentum from that goal was quickly erased by RPI's Nicole McDonald, however. She fought off a Yale defender and managed to slide the puck past Zilis only 11 seconds after Kozlowski's goal.
That set up a dramatic third period, as the Engineers got a power play at 9:23 and capitalized on it at 9:28. Off the faceoff win to Zilis' left, McDonald fed Nicole Thompson to pull RPI within one.
Then it was Yale's turn to respond quickly. Zingler hustled to beat an RPI defender to a loose puck in the corner and then executed a pretty backhand pass to Howser in the slot. She had no trouble sticking it past Mayr to get Yale's lead back to two goals.
"That's a great goal," Witt said. "It's great leadership to go down and get it right back. I thought that that was one of their better shifts."
That wound up being an important goal, even though a 5-on-3 for the Bulldogs with 2:25 to play seemingly gave Yale control of the game. But a too many men on the ice penalty on Yale negated part of that advantage, and the Engineers pulled Mayr in time to have Jamie-Lynn Stewart deflect in Laura Gersten's shot with a minute to play.
"I've got to give RPI a lot of credit," Witt said. "They did a lot of great things. They worked hard and they never quit. You would think with three minutes to go and you have a 5-on-3 you would pretty much take care of business, but we didn't."
With the extra attacker, RPI made the game's final moments interesting. Zilis made a save on Gersten and the Yale defense then blocked two more shot attempts. With the second RPI penalty expired the Engineers had a power play for the final 25 seconds, and Melissa Boik whistled a shot just wide. With 16.6 seconds left Howser won a key faceoff in the Yale zone, and Zilis stopped one last attempt by Gersten.
Howser, whose 17 goals on the season have her tied for ninth on the school's all-time list, now has seven multiple-point outings in her last nine games.
With fifth-place Princeton idle, the Bulldogs moved to within three points of the Tigers in the standings. Princeton visits Clarkson on Saturday and St. Lawrence on Sunday. Yale returns to the ice at Ingalls Saturday at 4:00 p.m. against Union. It is Senior Day, with the Class of 2007 playing its final regular season home game.

VISTA, Calif. (AP) — The lawyer for a California heavy metal singer accused of trying to hire someone to kill his estranged wife says the singer's mind has been ravaged by steroid use.
U-T San Diego (http://bit.ly/16EWVKZ) reports that the detail came to light during a Friday hearing for 32-year-old Timothy Lambesis, who has pleaded not guilty to solicitation for murder. A judge at the hearing reduced Lambesis' bail from $3 million to $2 million.
Prosecutors say Lambesis, frontman for Grammy-winning band "As I Lay Dying," paid $1,000 cash to an undercover detective posing as a hitman and gave instructions on how best to kill his wife.
Lambesis' attorney Thomas Warwick said in court that his client had gotten into body building and steroid use. He said Lambesis' thoughts were "devastatingly affected" by the drugs.

Hey guys, long time no post - issues with real life and all of that.
Marcy of SaveABunny called me to let me know that Tippy is again slipping in his health. I'm currently working with her and various doctors to see about getting him better. He had this issue a year ago and after some chiropractic and acupuncture, he got better - hoping the same happens again.
But that's not why I'm posting (although if you'd like to learn more about him and perhaps contribute to his recovery fund, you can go here).
While I was waiting to pick up Tippy, I came across this bunny - named Boyfriend (click on his pic to go to his page).
Although I love all rabbits, I would usually overlook a simple brown rabbit in a room full of bunnies. However, this guy was in an excercise pen and he hopped over to where I was standing and stood up on his hind legs. I thought "cute" and expected him to drop down in a second or two but he didn't, he stayed standing up. I leaned over and began petting his nose but he remained standing, giving me tooth purrs while I petted him. He stood on his hind legs for what felt like a minute but was probably only half that - the entire time getting pets and purring.
Deciding to check one more thing before posting here about him, I picked him up and held him against my chest while I petted him. Again came the tooth purrs and no struggling - although I'm not certain he was 100% happy to be up there. In other words, this guy is a real snuggler and social bun. Oh, and the x-pen was clean of all poops - only in his litterbox.
Just wanted to put him up here in case anyone was thinking about another rabbit.
Actually, I was told by Marcy today that Boyfriend is off the market. He's her bun who enjoys taking naps with her so he's found his place.
As for Tippy, Dr. Harvey believes that due to his bad leg, he's tweaked his hip and back so much that it has caused neurological deterioration in his good hind leg and thereby is causing him to drag it. She believes that some physical therapy and chiropractic work will help him out and has a good chance of restoring movement in his good hind leg again. I'm in a good/bad place with this as I was just fired from my job. That means I have time to focus on his therapy but unfortnately not the cash to pay for it. I'm looking for things to sell on eBay right now because, afterall, who can say no to this face?
I'm sorry to hear that Markus. : (
You're a champ for standing by Tippy (and Nadia). Is there some of the physical therapy you can do yourself perhaps? Or is that something you would have been doing already?
Just an update,
We are taking Tippy to acupuncture every week starting this week and there is also chiropractic work being done I believe every other week or every month. His back leg is showing marginal improvement and he's no longer tooth grinding in pain when I work his leg. However, his right front paw has become sore and swollen as it is what he's using to counter the issue. He's still not giving the proper neuro reflex we want to see but he does resist more with it than he use to during Physical therapy - which I give to him three times a week for about 15 mins.
I'm going to go buy an erector set and build a specialized bunny carriage for him. The wheeled ones are for animals who don't have use of their hind legs. I need to create one that will keep Tippy's butt upright so that he can use his hind paw to get around. If/when it's done and working I'll be sure to post some pics of RoboBun.
P.S. - it seems that one of the shelters that we rescue from gave us a couple of buns that they waited too long to get on the spaying program and we now have 12 new baby bunnies. They're cute, one is in a little bit of danger (the runt) but the rest are healthy. Both moms were small lop mix breeds but we won't know what the babies will look like until they grow up a bit.
So if y'all wanted a baby bun of your own, they'll be ready in about 3-4 months - but you'll have to take at least two.

Senators relish chance to tie series vs. Pens
OTTAWA (AP) — After a win in Game 3, the Ottawa Senators are confident they can tie their series against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Senators trail the Penguins 2-1 in their Eastern Conference semifinal series heading into Game 4 Wednesday.
"The next game is the biggest game of the year, that's the way it is," Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson said. "No matter what happens you treat it (as the biggest game) and when that's done you do the same for the next one."
The Senators' confidence in themselves and their ability to rebound has been the benchmark of their season. Ottawa's 2-1 double-overtime win Sunday night was just another example.
Alfredsson tied the game at 1-1 with 29 seconds remaining in regulation and Colin Greening went on to score the winner at 7:39 of the second overtime.
The Senators know that the Penguins will want to rebound in Game 4 and try to take control of this series.
"We can't stray too far from our game plan," Ottawa defenseman Marc Methot said. "Last game in particular we were so strong defensively and that's a huge key. We know we're going to get our opportunities offensively in their own zone."
For the Penguins, getting a split in Ottawa means a chance to clinch the series back home.
"I think every game the more the series goes on the more important each one gets," Penguins captain Sidney Crosby said. "You can see the desperation they have. They want to make sure it's 2-2 going back to Pittsburgh and obviously we know the scenario is to come here and get one of two on the road and go back home with a chance to finish off the series would be great.
"I don't think we have to change anything to do that. Our desperation's been there, our compete level has been there and we believe that if we play the same way as last game and limit a few mistakes that we have a good chance of getting the win."
Pittsburgh's Matt Cooke knows that the Senators have likely gained confidence from their win.
"The playoffs are a race to four wins through seven games," Cooke said. "We knew it wasn't going to be easy. We knew the Sens weren't just going to roll over and give us all four games. Whether we lose 2-1 or 7-1, it's one loss and that's the way we have to view it."
The Penguins are confident and see no reason to panic or change their game plan.
"You have to believe in your game," Crosby said. "I think teams who get here believe in their game at this point. Sometimes in the playoffs you lose a tight game and you trust that if you play the same way in the next one you have a chance to win."
Senators defenseman Chris Phillips said much of the Senators success has come from their ability to stay grounded.
"You'd be absolutely beat if after every game that's all you did was think about the last game or worry about the result of the next game or riding highs or being down if you lose the previous one," Phillips said. "It's all about the process and playing and on the days off not even thinking about hockey and removing yourself from it.
"Physically as much as mentally you have to be rested and get ready for the next game. As far as this group is, it's not about getting caught up in the results it's going and playing the game the way we can and we'll deal with the results at the end."
Notes: Ottawa D Eric Gryba is expected to skate Wednesday morning, but not expected to play in Game 4. ... Pittsburgh LW Jussi Jokinen could be back in the lineup Wednesday.

— And now, they're even: Michael Phelps bested Ryan Lochte in a stroke-for-stroke 200-meter freestyle race at the swimming trials here Wednesday night, with the two rivals both qualifying to match up against each other in the London Games next month.
After Lochte beat him Monday night, again with both qualifying to pick the race up again in London, Phelps touched the wall first on Wednesday at 1 minute, 45.70 seconds, five-hundreths of a second before Lochte.
"Obviously it's been a while, so it felt better, but there's still some things I can improve on," Phelps said. "I saw the semifinals, and watching the turns. I just got crushed on the wall, so I tried to sort of use more speed than anything else and try to do that and take it out. It's OK , but there's still a lot that needs to be fixed."
Phelps and Lochte looked to be joking around as the Baltimore swimmer was about to receive his medal for the 200 free victory.
"We didn't really try to pick it up until, like, the last 75, so I'll save that for the Olympics," Lochte said. "It was a good race. ... I love racing against him, and it was really fun."
The race was the marquee event of the night, with the much vaunted rivalry between the two top male swimmers increasing in intensity as the trials progress. Lochte had won the first round, the 400 IM, and then the 200 free semifinal, putting Phelps in the unaccustomed position of chasing rather being chased.
"I think Ryan's really eager and I think Michael's just trying to get to the Olympics," said Brendan Hansen, who has made the Olympic team in the 100-meter breaststroke.
"The big lights for Michael aren't on yet. Rightfully so, he's [already] done the greatest on the biggest stage," Hansen said, referring to Phelps' eight-for-eight gold-medal performance in the last Olympics. "Right now, the motivation is with Ryan, and he's building confidence with each race he's doing, but I think Michael's just trying to get through this week, in my opinion … just to get to London."
But with Phelps evening the score by winning the 200 free, the rivalry could play out in see-saw fashion all week. Both also are juggling their schedules, deciding which of the events they'll actually swim rather than scratch. Phelps signed up for seven, Lochte 11, although he's already scratched one.
Earlier in the day, Phelps came out of the preliminary heat for the 200 butterfly , one of his signature events, tied for third seed going into the evening's semifinals.
Phelps had another swim less than an hour after dueling with Lochte in the 200 free — a semifinal in the 200 fly. Entering his heat tied for the third seed, Phelps qualified for the finals that will be held Thursday night.
