The clerk's office in Niagara County has officially launched a new electronic document recording service for customers, enabling them to record documents more quickly and cost-effectively.
Electronic recording (e-recording) of documents is now available in Niagara County, enabling customers to more quickly and cost-effectively have land records digitally recorded with the clerk's office online through Simplifile, the nation's largest e-recording service provider.
"This is a special moment for Niagara County and for me also," said Niagara County Clerk Wayne Jagow. "This has been in the works for almost seven years, and I believe this is a historic moment that will bring a positive change for the people of the county - and especially for all of us in the clerk's office."
With e-recording available, the county's recording customers, ranging from title companies and banks to law firms, lien filers and beyond, are now able to submit documents to the clerk's office essentially anytime from anywhere. All they need is high-speed Internet access and a scanner to upload or prepare documents electronically.
Instead of sending documents by mail or driving to the courthouse to record in person, customers can save time by scanning, uploading and submitting the electronic versions of their original documents to the clerk's office through Simplifile. In minutes, the documents are received, reviewed, stamped, recorded and returned back to the customer electronically, eliminating the need for the county to send the documents back by mail.
"The savings on mailing costs alone have proven to be one of the biggest benefits of e-recording for both the county and its customers," said Paul Clifford, president of Simplifile. "We're excited to be working with the Niagara County clerk, and making our cost-effective, convenient e-recording service available to more organizations."
According to Clifford, should a document be rejected for any reason by the county, the customer is notified immediately with the rejection reason through Simplifile's system. This enables the customer to resolve the issue and resubmit right away.
Niagara County joins Nassau County, Erie County, Oneida County, New York City and its surrounding boroughs, and other recording jurisdictions throughout the state of New York that have adopted Simplifile's service.
Nationwide, Simplifile's service has been implemented in more than 1,000 recording jurisdictions, with new offices and customers implementing e-recording every day.
To learn more about e-recording in Niagara County, call 800-460-5657 or visit www.simplifile.com.

Hermantown Hawks Soar Over Rogers Royals in a 9-0 Section 5A Semifinals Win [PHOTOS]
The backdrop for Hermantown's last game on home ice for the 2012-2013 season was a Section 5A semifinal game with section #4 ranked Rogers heading north to Hermantown. In the last meeting between the two teams, the Hawks beat Rogers 11-2 and hopes were high that a repeat was in the works.
After notching their tenth straight win coming in a 10-0 victory over Proctor in the section quarterfinals, the Hermantown offense was primed and ready to strike. Nate Pionk got things going for the Hawks, finding the net 4:03 into the first quarter. Ryan Kero and Chris Benson netted back-to-back goals only 19 seconds apart midway through the first quarter taking things to an early 3-0 lead for Hermantown. Another Pionk goal bookended the first quarter's scoring with Neal, the older of the two, scoring at the 9:47 mark on a Hawks power play.
Going into the second period with a 4-0 lead, the Hawks struck early with Travis Koepke hitting pay-dirt on a power play 1:38 into the middle period of the game. Chris Benson followed up with a pair of special teams goals, scoring one shorthanded for the Hawks (7:09) and another on the power play (9:31) to earn a hat trick that was followed up by a few fans tossing their caps for the occasion.
With a 7-0 lead and the game well in hand entering the final period of play, Luke Jacques (3:45) and Neal Pionk (power play 11:15) found the net to close out the game with a final score of 9-0. While junior goaltender Adam Smith spent most of the game between the pipes earning the win, Jace Thomas made an appearance in the third period to close out the shutout for the Hawks.
Hermantown's win was powered by an oppressive show of force in the offensive zone, outshooting Rogers 48-15. The Hawks were also efficient on the power play, converting each advantage to points in the game.
The Hawks now faces Section 5A #2 seed St. Cloud Cathedral in Champlin on Friday, March 1 at 7 pm. In the only regular season game between these two teams, Cathedral beat Hermantown 5-4 in overtime.

Most videogame adaptations of blockbuster movies tend to suck. It's just an accepted fact in this industry. So when publisher Activision announced a game based on the animated flick Madagascar, there was much reason to fear. Game journalists the world over cowered under their desks in frightful anticipation of bad cameras, poor level design and insipid gameplay. And hey, who could really blame them. Thankfully, a good many of these doubts were unfounded. Developer Toys for Bob delivers a solid platformer with its release of Madagascar.
It's certainly geared toward a younger audience. Most game veterans won't have a problem plowing through the entire game in six hours, for example. But younger kids (and even diehard platform fans craving a fix) will find a lot to like here. To start, Madagascar does a good job of recreating the humor of its big-screen sibling. Much of the dialogue is pretty entertaining, as is the voice acting. It's decidedly corny, of course, so whether you like it or not is a matter of taste. But it's undeniably better than what's in most kid-centric videogames.
Madagascar also features clips from the movie, which only helps tie the two products together. Interestingly enough, while the game follows the plot of the movie closely, most of the in-game cut scenes use the game engine and not real clips. Somewhat unfortunate, really. The game adaptation of The Incredibles used scenes from the movie to great effect. Alas - moving on. Fans of the movie know everything there is to know about the plight of Marty and his furry friends, but here's a recap for those who don't.
Madagascar chronicles the adventures of four animals from the Central Park Zoo in New York. There's Marty, the Zebra, who grows tired of life behind bars and conspires to bust free. Then there's Gloria, the girl's girl hippo, Melman, the hypochondriac giraffe and Alex, the headstrong Lion. Once Marty breaks out of his pen and leaves the Zoo, he decides to rush through downtown New York to catch a train at Grand Central Station. The point being to reach "the wild." Of course, this "wild" is in fact Connecticut, but Marty doesn't know that.
After Marty's loyal friends discover he's missing (on his birthday no less,) they decide to bust out themselves to find him. As previously stated, the game mirrors the plot of the movie, but there's obviously more to the game. For starters, Marty's escape from the Zoo is a relatively quick affair in the movie but a lengthy sequence in the game. It serves to note before the main game actually begins, Madagascar forces you through a quick tutorial where you assume the roles of each character and learn basic skills. You can read earlier coverage right over herefor more details on this chunk of the game.
Madagascar features 10 levels spanning the escape from the Central Park Zoo to rescuing fellow animals on the island of Madagascar. Each of these levels breaks into a number of submissions, nearly all of which boast a unique style of gameplay. This variety sets Madagascar apart from other titles in its class. A single level can feature five or more different play styles, from arcade shooting sequences to races, and many others in between. You'll find yourself collecting items one minute and defending items from attack the next minute. Or you'll be leading groups of bees to plants in the jungle or weaving through New York traffic searching for Marty.
The beginning escape sequence blends traditional action with light stealth elements. You'll need to traverse several sections of the Zoo, from the Ostrich Pen to Monkey Habitat, without alerting guards to your presence. Like many stealth games, each guard in Madagascar suffers from seriously bad vision. As long as you keep out of their flashlight beam, you'll do just fine. You also need to seek cover under barriers and crawl to avoid detection. Pretty standard stuff, really. You can also kick garbage cans at guards to knock them out and acquire keys to open gates - a necessity if you want to finish the level.
If stealth isn't your cup of tea, you're in luck. The traditional platform stages offer decent fun, as do the militaristic penguin stages, where you control a band of penguins to complete a set of objectives. None of these levels outshines any other concerning quality, and none of them stick out as extraordinary, but they're not broken either. They play well, actually, if very uninspired. Decent level design and interesting environments makes collecting items enjoyable. The same goes for the stealth, action and platform elements, too. While offering little in terms of innovation or graphical pizzazz, they more than get the job done. Which is much more than can be said about most of these big name adaptations.

I second pumping in the car....
Also if ever again in a power outage, don't open the freezer, at all times try to keep the freezer as full as possible, (the more frozen stuff in there the colder it will stay for longer) and ASAP get some dry ice. Around here you can buy it at a local grocery store, sometimes you have to go to ice cream stores and other places though. But, I would try to get dry ice with in 24 hours, and it should be able to keep it frozen in the freezer, add more dry ice every 24 to 48 hours until electric is back on. Or find a freezer with electric-in laws, parents, friends, etc.
All that being said....is there a way that you could reverse cycle a bit, sounds like he is eating more in the day time to get his daily food and less at night. Seems to me having him feed directly from you at night would be easier then pumping at night. I know he's drinking a lot during the day, but I'm just wondering if he ate more at night he would eat less in the day. I personally would bedshare, and the times I normally would get up to pump I would offer breast, even if he's asleep....of course you can't force a baby to eat...just thinking about what would be easier and less stressful. Otherwise, for sure those middle of the night pumpings for me was def the biggest difference in making enough milk and not.

Pumping in the car: yep, I do this.
Eating more at night: I actually do try to get him to nurse at night but he is just not interested. He eats for a minute and then falls asleep. After months of complaining about no sleep I feel like the only mom complaining that my kid sleeps through the night. in fact, last night he didn't even do his usual 1am wake up -- just slept on in and woke up at 4am.
I'm actually feeling better about my supply this week. I got REALLY ahead this weekend and am at least two bottles ahead. I was able to put some in the freezer even. Maybe the increase is happening, just slowly? Definitely going to take herbs and look into a pump rental!
First-time mom to Markus, August 17, 2011.
When the increase happens, it will happen very gradually and slowly, so it sounds like you're doing great!

The LM3671 step-down DC-DC converter is optimized for powering low voltage circuits from
a single Li-Ion cell battery and input voltage rails from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. It provides up to 600-mA
load current, over the entire input voltage range. There are several different fixed voltage output
options available as well as an adjustable output voltage version range from 1.1 V to 3.3
The device offers superior features and performance for mobile phones and similar
portable systems. Automatic intelligent switching between PWM low-noise and PFM low-current mode
offers improved system control. During PWM mode, the device operates at a fixed-frequency of 2 MHz
(typical). Hysteretic PFM mode extends the battery life by reducing the quiescent current to 16 µA
(typical) during light load and standby operation. Internal synchronous rectification provides high
efficiency during PWM mode operation. In shutdown mode, the device turns off and reduces battery
consumption to 0.01 µA (typical).
A high-switching frequency of 2 MHz (typical) allows use of tiny surface-mount
components. Only three external surface-mount components, an inductor, and two ceramic capacitors,
are required.

Nine Turning Ten
The year I turned 10, my birthday was on a Saturday. That morning Mom sent me on an errand to Beazel's, the local grocery store two blocks away. On the way, Linda Patterson came out of her house and walked part way with me. Linda and I were in different grades in school and while we were friendly, we didn't spend much time together. She began excitedly talking about birthdays and birthday parties. I knew there was no way she would know it was my birthday so I was surprised at her topic of conversation.
When I returned home from the store, Gramma called and invited me to eat lunch with her and Grampa. Picky me. I wanted to know what they were eating before I accepted the invitation. (She could have served me bread and butter and I would have been thrilled, but if she was making tuna sandwiches and I had to eat them, I wasn't interested.) I think she finally persuaded me to join them when she told me we would drive into Niles after lunch.
I can't remember party activities. Perhaps we played Pin the Tail on the Donkey. Maybe my older sister, Marsha, helped. Details have faded from my memory. I'm grateful Mom thought to take photographs.
Notice that we were all wearing dresses, the standard party wear at that time. Pants were for playtime, dresses for school, church, parties, and all other occasions. We looked forward to getting dressed up.
As I remembered and thought about this party, I suddenly realized that it was a hugely generous gift for my mother to host a birthday party for me. She was a very private person and was extremely careful and protective about her home. To have 10 little girls there for a party must have nearly frazzled her nerves. It's strange that only now am I recognizing the birthday party for the gift it was. Thank you, Mom!
This post is being contributed to 123rd Edition of the Carnival of Genealogy: A Birthday Party! which is hosted by Jasia at Creative Gene. I'm sending thanks to her for hosting the Carnival and happy birthday wishes because she's celebrating her own birthday in November. Thank you, Jasia, and Happy Birthday!

Thanks for visiting and commenting, Christine. I think that when I was a kid I really didn't recognize some of the things my parents did as gifts or blessings. I'm glad to be able to recognize them now.Delete

Nancy, A delightful post. What a wonderful surprise, and grandma and grandpa were right in there helping Mom setting up the surprise. GreatReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you, Joan. I appreciate your comment. In fact, I wonder how many others may have been behind-the-scenes keeping it all a secret. My father and sister probably knew and had to keep it quiet, too. Thanks for visiting.Delete
Great story and photos! Your party was certainly a memorable gift from your mom!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, Cynthia, it was a memorable gift. It's too bad I didn't recognize how great a gift when I was 10! Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment. I appreciate it.Delete
I don't think most of us recognize those gifts when we're kids. You do look so happy and surprised in the first picture. I bet Linda could barely keep it secret. Good memories.ReplyDelete
I appreciate your comments and look forward to reading what you have to say. Thanks for stopping by.

PORTLAND, Maine — A lawsuit by the owner of a vessel that rescued a drifting lobster boat 16 months ago has been settled but both sides are not releasing the details.
The case centers on the 42-foot lobster boat Xtreme Measures which broke from its mooring off Spruce Head during a blizzard in February 2013. Owner Jason Hooper had no luck finding the vessel but 10 days after it broke its mooring, the 76-foot long offshore lobster boat Amy Philbrick spotted it 150 miles out to sea.
The Amy Philbrick, owned by the company Amy Philbrick LLC in Newington, New Hampshire, towed Xtreme Measures to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and held it until Hooper's insurance company posted a $200,000 bond in March 2013 to cover potential salvage claims. The Amy Philbrick's owner then filed a lawsuit in May 2013 in U.S. District Court in Portland to claim $200,000 for salvage.
The two sides have filed competing motions during the past year. On May 5, a settlement conference was held before Magistrate Judge John C. Nivison. The two sides reached an agreement and on Thursday, Amy Philbrick LLC filed a notice of dismissal with the federal court in Portland. The terms of the settlement were not filed with the court.
Attorney Stephen Ouellette of Gloucester, Massachusetts, who represents the Amy Philbrick, said Friday that he could not comment on the settlement. Hooper could not be reached for comment and a telephone call to his attorney Leonard Langer of Portland was not returned Friday.
Ouellette said last year when the lawsuit was filed that maritime law on salvage goes back hundreds of years. He said if a person saves the property of another person at sea they automatically acquire a lien and can take custody of the vessel that was rescued until the salvage fee is paid. The owner of the rescued vessel can post a bond as the matter goes through court.
Hooper had the $350,000 Xtreme Measures custom-built in 2006 at Clark Island Boat Works in St. George.
Ouellette said last year that Hooper's insurance company would likely pay the salvage fee that was ordered by the court or agreed to before a ruling. The fee is based on factors such as the threat of damage to the rescued vessel, the risk to the people salvaging the vessel and the value of the salvaged boat.
The attorney pointed out that if a tugboat prevents an oil tanker from grounding that would have resulted in significant pollution, a salvage fee could be astronomical.

It's Paraguayan Independence Day, which means lots of music and dancing and celebrating with family and friends... if you're in Paraguay, that is. The unfortunate truth is that many Latinos and nearly all non-Latinos know little about this stunning South American neighbor to Brazil, Bolivia and Argentina. That's a shame because its culture – specifically its food culture – is vastly different from what you'd expect.
Think you know what sopa Paraguaya is? And how about tortilla? If you answered the latter with "That's what holds my tacos together," think again. Here, in honor of Paraguayans everywhere, is a quick and easy guide to knowing and loving PY foods, from vori-vori to chipa so'o to pionono. Happy Independence Day!

A Politician's Promiseby James E. Miller

Beto O'Rourke's 'Lifelong Republican' Mom Voted In Dem Primaries Since 2000, Donated to Obama
How Not to Respond to Being Called a 'Horseface'...
The sure sign of a halfwit is someone who believes a politician's promise. They can be observed at candidate rallies with their faces beaming and their hands grasping tightly to a cardboard sign. In bars and restaurants they speak endlessly on how their preferred dictator is smarter, kinder, and cuter than the rest. In doing so, they make up for a lack of drunkenness with exuberance over the prospect of being ruled over. This mix turns the political enthusiast into a package more bothersome than either the chastising puritan or the destitute drunk.
This heap of idiocy finds its source in the promises made by public officeholders. Instead of relying on intelligence and reason to make their case, all an aspiring politico has to do is declare before a mob what he can give it in exchange for their votes. Every election hinges upon the degree that he can manipulate the public into believing his sincerity. Electoral contests are won and lost by the biggest coalition of fools who chant slogans devoid of actual meaning and purpose.
With the recent reelection of Barack Obama, there is speculation abound on how far the soon-to-be anointed king will deliver on his promised agenda. His leftist base of support is expecting an aggressive launch of statist initiatives aimed at righting some undefined injustice. Many of Obama's detractors seriously believe he will use the Oval Office to institute a kind of socialist hell. Both are wrong. Obama's second term will be a continuation of the centralization and consolidation of the state that has been occurring since the ratification of the Constitution. The path has already been laid out by the ruling cadre of politicians, high level bureaucrats, military generals, CEOs of banks, and the heads of politically-favored corporations. Obama's promise of a robust American economy will not come to fruition because that was never the goal. Like all presidencies before it, the Obama presidency is there to ensure the "right" people keep having their pocket's filled.
Meanwhile, an increasing number of young adults are becoming disillusioned with their own future and income earning potential. Many have witnessed the success of their parents and are now questioning why they aren't experiencing the same level of achievement. In other words, they make perfect targets for political sloganeering. Through pledges for good jobs, these unemployed will easily be whipped into a frenzy of support for whichever candidate promises them a decent, salaried job. Their role as dupes has already been enshrined by the political class.
The record of unkempt campaign promises may be staggering but it has so far failed to deter a significant portion of people from participating in the electoral process. Time and time again, voters are promised an end to war, poverty, sickness, unemployment, addiction, obesity, starvation, homelessness, mental illness, crime, and violence. And with every election, each problem is exacerbated through state policies. Left to its own devices, a free, market economy has a tendency to improve living standards for all. That's precisely why economic freedom is never granted by the state. It would make every politician, government worker, and state contractor's perceived worth vanish overnight.
There are two types of promises that originate from a politician's breath. The first is a starry-eyed pledge that is practically unworkable. The second is an assurance that would constitute a threat if given by a private individual. When announced, these promises are sold as a cure-all for all of society's ills. They hardly ever come into fruition but are referred back to only if they aid in another reelection campaign.
The science of politicking is quite simple: appeal to the lowest common denominator of human life. This, most often, is the dim yearning of folks who aspire to do no more than feed themselves day by day. As long as this primitive instinct can be appeased by promise, a career in the nation's capital is virtually guaranteed. Finding an honest politician is like searching for a virgin in a whorehouse. If you happen to stumble across one, they are always eager to give away what little integrity they have left in return for power.
The goal of the ruling class is a full blown return to feudalism. This social decaying is emboldened by the circus known as democracy where the mob votes away its own humanity for a naĂŻve feeling of comfort. The masses have been fooled by years of unrelenting propaganda that government is, as Leo Tolstoy called it, "the representation of the citizens in the collective capacity" rather than its true designation of "one set of men banded together to oppress another set of men." They are assured by campaigners for public office of a life that requires minimal effort, little intellectual stimulation, and no prudence whatsoever. A pol who speaks of freedom and responsibility is quickly gutted and cast aside. The mass-mind prefers to grovel at the feet of those who promise them a first class ticket to the land of plenty. In return, they receive a pittance while the more industrious of political brownnosers retain enriching privileges.
That is the true purpose of a political promise. It is a tool to maintain dominance over the herd. As long as the masses are lead to believe that success is only enabled by the state, they will cast a ballot for anyone that will grow state power to they believe is their benefit. Individual achievement in the context of laboring and serving others is belittled as being a waste of time in comparison to the sacrifice of the public sector. Politicians will pay lip service to individualism but only to point out that success is impossible without central government dictation. That way, campaign promises hold more weight and legitimacy in the eyes of voters eager to stick it to their fellow man. They are means to keep the state machine running smoothly as humanity slowly digests itself through continued warfare and destroying any incentive to save and invest for the future.
Mark Twain once wrote,
To make a pledge of any kind is to declare war against nature; for a pledge is a chain that is always clanking and reminding the wearer of it that he is not a free man.Under normal circumstances, breaking a promise is regarded as unbecoming for any man. That is why pledges are hardly made except in instances in which they can be followed through with quickly and earnestly. Only the truly dishonest will often make promises since their frequent use has made them into a cheap currency used to solicit favors. The political class is the greatest practitioner of this tradition. It's become a running joke in Western culture how conniving politicians can be. The fact that so many make light of the pathetic reputation shows a disdain for honest character. Even worse is that such a criminal gang is still respected by the greater public. This terrible truth ends up reflecting worse upon the latter than the former.

Here's some info on a wood strip board I just finished: 137x43, 33cm tips, 4cm rocker, 3mm concave, 38mm rocker.
The goal is to be all-around board for 80kg rider in area where lulls come more often than gusts, with some tip area and width for both pop and glide, but not too flat a rocker line... ...hopefully the rocker, tapered tips and light glass will keep the width from causing too much of a beating when it blows up and gets choppier... Tips seem maybe too flexy, but the middle is fairly stiff...
A few details....
Core 2 layers of ~7mmx20mm western red cedar strips
3mm thick at tips, ~14.5mm at center, ~6mm at rails
Rails and inserts are epoxy filled with cotton fibers and graphite
Rails rounded 50/50 between straps, harder at tips
Skin 6oz e glass plus 6 oz eglass reinforcements
Resin Research epoxy.
bare 3.2 kg
The weight has me wondering if I should have used lighter straps than the luxuries, which add more weight than I like - they are like 500g apiece but nice and soft...
The strips I started with weren't milled precisely, and I had no planer, so there's a bit more epoxy in the core than I wanted...
Easy to get shape right with 2 layer core, but a single layer would probably save 150-200g. Maybe next time, this one was partly just to use up the strips on hand....
Not ridden yet, we'll see.
building pics:
The start, outline routed from a template
poured epoxy rail
the bottom layer of the blank, next to old boards 135x40 and 145x42
Shaping the core layers before gluing up
Gluing on rocker table
Just wanted to post this board to say thanks to those who have given some advice along the way, it's the first one I have made for a while, I'll try to give an update on how it rides, when I get around to riding it....

House votes to prohibit prison privatization, bill moves to Senate for review
March 21. 2013 1:01PM
CONCORD -- The House on Thursday voted to forbid the executive branch from privatizing the state prison system, saying that to do so would shirk the state's constitutional responsibility to rehabilitate inmates.
The 197-136 roll call by the Democratic -controlled House sent House Bill 443 to the Senate, where Republicans hold a slim, 13-11 majority and the bill's fate is uncertain, at best.
The legislation, while prohibiting prison privatization, allows the governor to enter into a temporary contract with a private provider during times of a "corrections emergency" with the approval of the Executive Council.
The House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee had recommended that the bill pass on a 13-5 vote.
Those who opposed the bill said that with a study of privatization underway, it is premature to have a ban take effect. A move to table pending more information on privatization failed.
Rep. Dan McGuire, R-Epsom, argued that the state should not prevent itself from undertaking a private option. He said the prison population is expanding.
But Rep. Robert Cushing, D-Hampton, privatizing prisons "is different than talking about who is going to pick up our garbage and plow our roads.
"I don't think we should be outsourcing incarceration," he said.
He said the state constitution requires the state to rehabilitate its prisoners, "yet there is a financial incentive for a private operator to keep those cells filled" and "fill corporate coffers.
"When we take somebody's liberty away from them, those who are overseeing that bondage should be responsible to the Governor of New Hampshire as opposed to a corporate entity," said Cushing.
House Republican Leader Gene Chandler argued unsuccessfully that with a study underway, "There are facts coming in on the issue and we have an obligation to look at the facts."

John Habib's City Sports: Locals set for BostonBy JOHN HABIB
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 18. 2014 10:49PM
Emotions will be at the forefront for many of the Manchester runners planning to compete in the 118th Boston Marathon on Patriots' Day. The tragic events of last year's bombings on April 15 near the finish line on Boylston Street still remain fresh, especially to those who participated in last year's marathon race.
Christine Pariseau-Telge, who finished the Boston Marathon 15 minutes before the first bomb went off, still remembers that day. She still recalls the panic setting in after the second bomb went off. She still has visions of the smoke and debris in its aftermath.
"It was complete chaos," she said.
While she admits Monday's run will be emotional for her, Telge, like thousands of other runners, refuses to let fear rule the day.
"Marathon training during this winter was hard enough, but thinking about what happened and how it will be this year is emotional," said Telge. "My youngest son, Zachary, has asked me twice now if I will be safe. He asks if there will be any more bombs, and I have told him, keeping positive, that I will be safe. He does want to talk about the people who died last year and what he remembers, which I think is good.
"Peter (her husband) and my two boys will do their usual trip to Heartbreak Hill and cheer me on at mile 20. This day has always been a family event, with all my brothers, sisters, mother and father, and kids cheering on the runners and waiting for me. I don't want that to change. They love this day. Once they see me, they will head to the finish to meet me. I am nervous, but I have to believe that all will be good."
After last year's marathon, Telge held an event at Livingston Park for the kids to participate in a "last mile" for those runners who were unable to complete the last mile in the Boston Marathon. Over 150 kids participated to raise money for the victims.
"I am honored to be a part of the Boston Marathon again, and know that each step in my 26.2 miles will be unforgettable and emotional," said Telge. "It's just part of the healing process."
Sarah Normand had to drop out of last year's race at mile 18 because of an injury. But like Telge, she recalls the panic and confusion that ensued following the bombings as she was leaving a parking garage near the finish line with her family. Still, last year's tragedy hasn't scared her away.
"The first question I've heard people ask me and others running in the marathon is 'Are you afraid?'" said Normand. "My response is I'm not and that we can't let what happen last year prevent us (marathon runners) from achieving our goals and dreams. This is my sixth Boston Marathon and I'm looking forward to it. I'm anticipating there's going to be a lot of positive energy and to be part of it will be special."
Normand said she was happy to see the running community come together over the past year. "The community, the country as a whole, we have really come together. I'm sure it means a lot to the families of the victims and survivors."
Manchester runners in the Boston Marathon field this season includes Ernesto Burden, Colleen Campbell, Robert Campbell Jr., Leigh Carloni, Joyce Craig, Michael Craig, Meghan Cullen, Peter Gillis, Kyle Heavey, Alanna Hickey, David Hippert, Julia Huffman, Kathleen Jaworski, Matt Laberge, Karen Leclerc, Rick Leclerc, Ron Machakos, Cullen Madden, Peter Madden, Andre Martin Jr., Peter McDonough, Ezra Milby, Sarah Moore, Brandyn Naro, Kelsey Ouellette, Tim Perry, Lisa Provencher, Michael Rose, John Samataro, James Sparks, Denise Spenard, Derek St. Cyr, Craig St. Pierre, Gregory Timbas and Kathleen Wheeler.

Last Tuesday, Larry Gagnon, a member of the Board of Directors for the Manchester City Marathon, appeared before the Manchester Board of Mayor and Alderman to announce this year's event will be held on Sunday, Nov. 2. Over 1,500 runners are expected to compete in November in the USATF-NE Grand Prix event.
Gagnon told the aldermen the Manchester marathon has raised over $100,000 for various charities since 2007 and welcomes any help from volunteers this year. "Volunteers are important to our event," said Gagnon. "We are a non-profit organization." Gagnon said he plans to have Dave McGillivray, race director of the Boston Marathon, on site for this year's marathon.

Don Pinard, chief of Parks and Recreation, said there will no longer be a $1,000 surcharge to the city for turning the lights on before 8 p.m. at Gill Stadium. "The demand charge no longer exists, which means we can turn the lights on Gill Stadium when we need to before 8 o'clock at night," said Pinard. "We reconfigured the wiring at the complex, so there's no longer a demand charge."
On another city matter, Pinard appeared before the Committee on Administration and Information System to discuss whether the city should waive fees for youth programs using Gill Stadium.
"The Manchester Babe Ruth Baseball League is the only youth program that isn't charged a $75 per-game fee that other youth leagues pay. That was approved by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen many years ago," said Pinard. "The other youth programs that use Gill Stadium, including the Manchester Pony League, are now asking we waive the fee for them."
Pinard said the high school teams also pay the fee to play at Gill Stadium.
Alderman At-Large Dan O'Neil told the committee at one time Gill Stadium was part of the city's enterprise. "George Smith, the champion for youth sports, felt at that time the Babe Ruth League couldn't afford to pay the fee and asked that we waive it."
O'Neil said, like Smith, he wants city kids to play at Gill Stadium. "When I grew up, playing at Gill Stadium was a big thing and it still is," he said. "I don't want us to drive leagues away from using Gill. Like Babe Ruth, there are other leagues now that can't afford the fee. We should be helping them and making sure our city kids play at Gill Stadium."
The item to waive the fee was tabled and Pinard will furnish the committee with more information next month.

MANCHESTER CENTRAL Little League is celebrating its 65th anniversary in style today. League President Sally Dreckmann said close to 150 people, including former players, coaches and officials, will be recognized in a ceremony beginning at noon.
Among those on the list are Pat O'Neil, Bill Barry, Dick and Priscilla Marston, Mickey Hanagan, Denny Smith, Ron Giroux, Ron Bouchard, Barbara and Matt Lemear, Anna Young, Lou D'Allesandro, Stan Spirou and Phil Spiro.

Cat leg spasms???
Hi! this is my first post to this forum. I have grown up with animals all of my 50 years and feel like I have seen alot, helped alot and understand a lot about cats & dogs plus many farm animals.
A year ago I adopted a feral kitten through a local group to keep my 5 year old Golden Retriever company. We had lost 2 canine friends that year, but, my job was not going to allow me to adopt another dog & my daughter adopted her own, who spends a great deal of time with me.
Malia is a tuxedo who was brought in from the wild. She is petite in stature, however, the most loving, adventurous & dog friendly cat I have ever known!
In the past few months I have noticed that she seems to have spasms in her back legs and one from leg. Sort of reminds me of a rabbit "thumping." The back legs extend back and shake that when she is near a wall make a thumping....ththththththth sound, both legs do this then the front left and her head shakes as though she just tasted something sour!
Sorry, just do not know a better way to explain! At first I thought she was just doing it but I am wondering if it is a sort of epileptic attack.
Any thoughts? Any one that has seen that before? I have had so many cats and have never witnessed something like this.
Thanks in advance! Christine
Welcome to pets.ca Christine
Sorry to hear about Malia. :sad: There are many things that could be causing this and I think your best bet would be to take her to the vet for a proper diagnosis. Good luck and please keep us updated.
Welcome to the board, paddlerinpa! Good luck with your kitty!

"It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived!"
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
I don't know what would cause this, but if it becomes necessary to take Malia to the vet, is there any way you could get a vidoe of her doing this? you can't guarantee she will do it on demand and it might be eaasier to show than explain.
On a happier note, welcome to the board, and since the other members seem to be neglecting their duties: Pleeease post pictures of your animals so we can admire them for you?

A warm welcome to pets.ca, Christine!
Just so that you know, there's a specific cat health area right here http://www.pets.ca/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=75
If this began happening with one of mine, I'd be speaking with my Vet and asking that, if she has no personal experience with this, that she "ask around" - whether that be with a specialist or through her network of contacts...a video would certainly help. I would not want to start a "guessing game" or any series of diagnostics at the outset.
I'd also be monitoring things closely for any changes in frequency/intensity etc.
Keep us posted.
the more i learn about (some) people, the more i luv my cats
my cat does his. not the head thing tho. sometimes he leg twitches. since i have the same think (tiwtching leg) from time to time i didn't think much of it. mentioned it to the internist who didn't know either. if you are concerned go for full bloodwork to rule out anything
I have 1 beautiful DSH tabby. 15 years old.
(and one sweet piti. 1.5 years old)
I'm not a vet or vet tech, but your description does sound like the beginning of epilepsy because of the head shake with the back leg movement. Here's a link:
Sometimes cat do this "thumping thing" with their back feet to shake off some litter that may be stuck in between their toes. Malia should be taken to a vet for an evaluation. If you could take a video of her during one of her episodes to show the vet it would be helpful.
Hope a vet can give you an answer to Malia's behaviour.
Thumping cats
So I was surfing for a reason or similar thing that my cat does, and this is the closest I came. I know what it is when they are kicking litter or fleas or something they stepped in off their feet. This just isn't the same thing. My cat Rebe is the only one of six that does this strange thumping. I call it wall thumping because she literally backs up to a wall or door or cupboard door and thumps her back foot as fast as she can against it. I'm really glad she isn't the only one doing it. I was thinking she does it to ward off other cats or maybe she hears or smells something and is warning whatever it is that this is her domain. These are the best explanations I can come up with. If I can catch it on video I will post it. She is also the kind of cat that gets into everything and anything especially when she knows she's not supposed to. Haha. She is very intelligent and even pulls her own pull string toys to make them go. I do have that one on video. She dumps the toy basket just to find the one she wants to play with. So I think it's some form of communication (wall thumping) that she's doing, I just haven't figured out what she's saying yet.
Cat lover forever!
I recently posted something about cat spasms as well. In my cat's case it's different though however I think one of the advices given to me would be good for you too and that is to try to catch it on video so your vet can see it.
I know it's hard but if you could that would help.
Blood work could help a lot too to discard a number of things. (including seizures)
Best of luck and good vibes for you and Malia she sounds like a wonderful little lady.
P.S. bingocake's kitty sounds so cute and awesome.
" How we behave toward cats here below determines our status in heaven."
- Robert A. Heinlein
I have a small oriental SH female and she thumps alll the time! On her toys and particularly on my feet. She primarily does it while standing and its a quick hard thump usually 4-5 beats or more. This breeds is known for it's intelligence and I think this is her way of showing ownership and dominance. She owns her toys and I'm also hers!
My neighbours cat used to that when he wanted in from outside. He'd back up to the screen door and start knocking with his hind leg. I saw a video on youtube with some Siamese cats doing the same thing when they wanted inside. Smart kitties.
Malia, the thumping cat!
We'll here I am several years later having had many laughs with my very demanding little tuxedo cat, Malia, aka.... Thumper!
As it turns out, she is a very healthy, very personable cat that let's you know when she wants something or simply wants attention! This thumping is especially 'aggressive' on the weekends when the alarm does not go off and we actually stay in bed past 5:30am! She moves between the door, the dresser, then the bed....thumping away like a rabbit thumps.
One day I was on the phone when I got home and had not even acknowledged her yet and she thumped my leg after I paid mno attention to all of her pounding around the kitchen.
Not sure how she learned it but it is part of her sweet personality and I swear she does it to make us laugh sometimes!
She is now 6 years old, healthy, happy and when she is not thumping like a rabbit she think she is a dog and pick on her Golden retriever brother, Brody!
Ha! That's so funny, paddlerinpa! I'm glad it turned out to be just a bid for attention! Malia's a real character! Also, she's a doll....and so is her golden, Brody!

New Internationalist 378 May 2005
Ecosystems / Air
Take a deep breath, and you play your part in the constant recreation of the atmosphere of the earth. The mixture of gases that wraps itself like a gossamer mantle around our planet not only makes life possible; life in turn has its effect on the planetary atmosphere.
It was not ever thus. Primordial earth's atmosphere contained no oxygen. Then life appeared in the oceans; eventually micro-organisms evolved that used sunlight to produce energy. The byproduct of this photosynthesis was oxygen, which was released into the atmosphere. Carbon was trapped in the fossilized bodies of these micro-organisms and fell to the ocean floors, and over aeons became fossil fuels. Slowly the earth became a planet with a cooler, oxygen-rich atmosphere, and the blossoming of life began in earnest. The earth's atmosphere, made up of a delicately balanced blanket of gases, traps enough heat to sustain life. These fundamental gases shape the environmental conditions on the planet, such as rainfall and evaporation levels.
But as humans have cleared critical photosynthesizing plants and organisms, and burned more and more fossil fuels, the balance that made most life on earth possible has been upset. Levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide and other polluting gases have been rising steadily since the Industrial Revolution, and with disastrous results.
These gases create a 'greenhouse effect', thickening the natural canopy of gases in the atmosphere and causing more heat to become trapped. As a result, the global temperature is increasing, throwing the world's climate out of its natural balance and into chaos.
The global temperature is set to rise by between 1.5 and 5.8°C and sea level by between 10 and 90 cm, as a result of global warming. The impacts, particularly of changes in rainfall, are likely to be severe, especially in many developing countries. Any action taken now – to reduce carbon emissions, for example – will have a delayed reaction as global temperatures continue to rise. But to take no action at all – effectively the preferred policy worldwide – is simply to invite disaster.
New Internationalist
The global warming caused by this greater concentration of carbon in the air is producing an anticipated speed of climate change greater than anything seen for at least 10,000 years.
Among the anticipated consequences of increased global temperatures are:
• flooding as polar ice caps melt, raising sea levels;
• extreme weather events due to shifting ocean currents;
• deserts to spread across Europe as land dries up.

2005 Competitors
2005/2006 Antarctic Season. Race occured in January 2006
Stephen Cushing (Great Britain / England)
Steve is a 55 year old doctor whose previous marathons include a PB of 3.18 at London. However, he had run no marathons since a horse fell on him and cracked his pelvis in four places about fifteen years ago. Steve admits to no logical reason for deciding to run a marathon in Antarctica except he saw details in Runner's World magazine, looked at the race website and got hooked by the idea. He has raised £10k+ for Cancer Research UK via his participation in the event.
Richard Donovan (Ireland)
Richard is the race organiser and completed the 100k event in a time of 15:43:55.
Evgeniy Gorkov (Russia)
Evgeniy is a seasoned marathon and ultramarathon athlete who also likes to partake in skydiving. In 2005, he won both the Gobi March 250km self-sufficient desert race (China) and the Silver State Marathon , Nevada (USA). He also completed a seven day race in the Sahara Desert, Egypt. Evgeniy uses marathons and ultras as an excuse to travel. Married, with two daughters, he has previously skydived over the North Pole. Evgeniy won the inaugural Antarctic Ice Marathon in a time of 5.09.38.
Wendy MacKinnon (Great Britain / Scotland)
Wendy had previously run the London and Loch Ness marathons, both in 2004, and usually runs the Inverness Half Marathon each year. She always wanted to travel to Antarctica and promised herself to do something physically challenging if the opportunity arose. With this mind, Wendy learnt how to ski as she assumed she would end up pulling a sledge on the last continent. However, on reading about the inaugural Antarctic Ice Marathon, she knew this was her ideal Antarctic challenge and signed up immediately. She was raising funds for the Make-a-Wish Foundation in memory of Dale MacKenzie who died (age 7) of Neuroblastoma: he was in Wendy's daughter's class at school. Wendy's winning time was 6.33.30.

20 easy steps to better veterinary team members
"I am an employer. I've been hiring. I'm always looking for another excellent addition to my staff. But alas, the average tenure at our place is more than 10 years. So when we have an opening—as we've had lately—I am attentive to what I seek." — Anonymous
In this business, there are four types of employers: thriving, striving, dying and terminated.
If you read the Web boards and blogs, you'll see that veterinary employers are concerned about their practices and employees. Indeed, the past couple of years have been challenging for employers and their workforces. Employers have tried to stay solvent while running good businesses. Employees have been worried and are trying just to hang on to work.While the employer might be a bit stressed, excellent employees can lead the way back to a happy, thriving workplace. And the truth is that most employers are looking for the same things: Good employees and team players, because a business tends to thrive when staffers take an interest in their jobs and the practice's mission. To reduce employee turnover in this industry, we need to match good employers with good employees.
Things are settling down into a new business rhythm, so just for today, let's consider what it is an employer desires to keep his or her practice thriving and employees on the job. The job market is, after all, a two-way street. In veterinary medicine, employee turnover occurs about every two years, which, to my thinking, is bad. Together with the employer, an employee can make it better.
Veterinary medicine is a wonderful field, so we look to the job place to see what's happening. All practice owners know that, to thrive, they must improve their customer service, and excellent customer service begins with the office staff, i.e., the employees.
In the simplest terms: The employee is part of a staff with a history. That is, the current staff is successful enough to have endured, or perhaps to have even thrived, to today. Employees, this one goes out to you.
So what is it that employees should do? We must assume you care and are kind to yourselves, other employees, patients and clients. Assuming you're in the right job in the first place, you'll get the opportunity to make additional contributions. To do this, you must make yourself more valuable to the business. Here's how.
1. Show up on time
Better yet, arrive a few minutes early, put away your things, and be ready to take in what's happening in the practice. You have two seconds to put a smile on everyone's face this morning.
2. Listen
And buy into the practice's mission statement and vision offered by managers. What does this business do best? What is its niche? Who is the practice leader? (Don't buy into the mission statement? Leave and find a more suitable place for your skills.)
3. Give the owner the benefit of the doubt
In advance, forgive the employer. Do listen to the neighborhood talk, but go in with an open mind. Good employers make mistakes that can lead to good solutions; focus on the good solutions.
4. Be prepared to answer for yourself
What's the biggest mistake you made? What did you learn from it? That's a typical interview question, but you should think about things like that a lot. The practice's leader must make correct decisions day in and day out to ensure the cash stream is present to make the payroll. Are you as on top of your job?
5. Ask the employer how you can make his or her job easier
The practice owner has a tough job, usually balancing medical duties with management duties. Ask how you can help.
6. Know what you might be able to do to make yourself more valuable to the clinic
Step forward and be identified. Employers cannot read your mind, but they surely love valuable employees.

Candia selectmen at odds over ash removal
By BENJAMIN C. KLEIN
Union Leader Correspondent
A recent report on the old site of the Candia incinerator estimates as much as 500 tons of ash remains at the site, which no longer has any buildings. (COURTESY)
CANDIA — After a report was given out to some residents detailing the composition of ash left over at the site of the town's old incinerator, selectmen are at odds over what the report means, how much the cleanup of the ash will cost, and whether the report should have been made public.
With an estimated 500 tons of ash at the site, Selectman Richard Snow said he has been passing around a recently released report by Stantec Consulting Services analyzing the ash because the site is a big problem for the town and a potential liability issue.
"I believe this is a serious problem for Candia, and with the current price to dispose of ash around $100, we are talking about a $500,000 project here," Snow said.
Selectman Chairman Frederick Kelley said he does not share Snow's concerns, and instead questioned why Snow was passing around a report that has yet to be discussed by the selectmen.
"Mr. Snow passed (the report) around town to get everyone riled up over nothing. When I see him he is going to get his ear blasted off, I told him not to do that. The report should have not been released until the board could discuss it at a meeting. This is touchy ground (Snow) is stepping on," Kelley said.
Kelley added that Snow's estimation of the ash removal costing $500,000 is without merit.
"That figure is not in the report, (Snow) just came up with that on his own," he said.
Snow acknowledged that the number is his own estimation, but it is a figure he said he came up with by checking the cost with disposal sites in the state.
"There are only two sites that I know that are available that will accept ash," Snow said.
Snow added that he thinks the issue is important enough, that he doesn't care if he upsets fellow board members with his conduct.
"It wouldn't bother me," he said.
Kelley said it is far too soon to even speculate what the town will do with the ash, because upon receiving the report from Stantec the town turned over the findings to the state Department of Environmental Services.
"If we do anything at the site, we'll do what the state tells us. It depends on what they say," Kelley said.
Kelley went on to say that Snow, along with former fire chief Rudy Cartier, are trying to turn the issue into something much bigger than it is.
"If you read the report it says the ash is not dangerous, and people have gotten stirred upside down from hearing that the site is dangerous — it is not dangerous. Mr. Snow is a troublemaker, and he is listening to Mr. Cartier, who was fired by both (the town) and the DES," Kelley said.
Selectman Amanda Soares said any numbers Snow has said the project will cost are his opinions.
"We have gotten no cost estimate in writing yet. We don't even know what we are going to do," she said.
The impetus for the problem now facing the town started roughly 10 years ago, when voters decided to close the old incinerator site and instead open a recycling plant, which went online about five years ago, to take its place.
"The site sits on top of a capped landfill," Kelley said, who added that while the ash remains, all the buildings on the old site have since been removed.
If the board decides to put forth an expensive course of action, Soares said residents would need to vote on it through a warrant article.
If the solution to the ash situation is inexpensive enough that it could work within the budget, "(the board) will decide what to do," she said.

Daughters are forever daddy's little girl at Windham father-daughter dance
WINDHAM -- WEARING A SPARKLY, silver evening dress and matching silver high heels, 11-year-old Kayla Joyce beamed as she entered the ballroom, clutching the arm of her dark-suited father, Jim Joyce.
Sunday evening was the seventh time the father and daughter duo would stroll onto the dance floor for one magical night of music, laughter and making memories together during the eighth annual Windham Daddy Daughter Dance.
"We're kind of old pros at this," Joyce said as his daughter's eyes sparkled.
Indeed, Kayla wasn't much older than 4-year-old Emily Lertpatthanakul when she made her dancing debut. Across the hall at Castleton function hall, little Emily giggled with delight on the dance floor, wearing a tiny red tulle dress as her father, Manny, swung her about for the very first time.
It's moments like these that have made the annual event quite popular over the years - popular enough to lead the town's recreation department to begin offering two separate nights of dancing.
Sunday evening's dance, for little girls aged 2 and older and their fathers, was attended by around 300 people, according to recreation director Cheryl Haas.
Another dance will take place at the Castleton this Friday evening, March 15, for girls ages 5 and older and their dads.
Haas said the decision was made to begin holding two dances last year after she noticed dozens of interested fathers and daughters were being placed on a waiting list when tickets for the event quickly sold out.
On Sunday evening, the dance floor was a rainbow of frothy dresses as dads and daughters demonstrated their dance moves to the tunes of Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber. Others wore small wrist corsages as they lined up to get a professional portrait taken as a memento of one special evening they shared.
The town's first Daddy Daughter Dance was quite a bit smaller and was held at Windham Center School in 2005.
"We've pretty much grown each year we've done this," said Haas, who said the dance was eventually moved to Promises to Keep in Derry and more recently to the Castleton, which offers a larger space.

"I'm relieved that the student in question has admitted that she didn't really become pregnant for this project and that no innocent people had to die for her so-called art," said Georgette Forney, co-founder of SNMAC. "While initially shocking, though, the project is really just a natural extension of the abortion mindset's utilitarian view that unborn children are expendable. After all, if embryonic human beings can be destroyed for the sake of science, why can't they be killed in the name of art?"
"When people are treated like things, we all suffer," added Janet Morana, another co-founder of SNMAC. "The lie that unborn children are not children is a cancer that has resulted in the kind of calloused hearts and minds that would conceive and approve of a project like this. It's not just that the project is offensive, it diminishes human life."
Since the launching of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign in 2003, 2,326 women and men have shared their testimonies publicly at over 200 gatherings in 44 states and six countries where more than 15,000 spectators have heard the truth about abortion's negative aftereffects. More than 4,100 people are registered to be Silent No More. Raising awareness about the hurtful aftermath of abortion and the help that is available to cope with the pain are two of the Campaign's goals.
The Silent No More Awareness Campaign is a joint project of Anglicans for Life and Priests for Life. For more information, please visit http://www.silentnomoreawareness.org/
