FERRON - Gerald David Stotler, age 74, is rejoicing in the presence of the Lord as of Jan. 2, 2014. Jerry was born Jan. 11, 1939 in Akron, Ohio to Robert and Margaret Auhn Stotler. He married Geraldine E. Moss Sept. 21, 1977 in Balboa, California.
Jerry was a very active member of the community. He was on the Ferron Planning & Zoning Committee, a member of the CERT Team, a part of the Emery County Volunteer Center where he was part of the committee for Relay For Life and the Angel Tree, he was an advocate for Habitat For Humanity, and he was also a part of the Foster Grandparent Tutor program for Ferron Elementary.

Jerry and his wife traveled the world together, including two mission trips to Mexico. He taught school at Bethel Baptist High School. Jerry enjoyed cooking, was very patriotic, and loved his country very much. Service was his life. Romans 12:11 was his favorite scripture, "Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord." He lived it!
Jerry is survived by his wife, Gerry; children: Colleen Turvey of Palm Desert, California, David (Kathy) Stotler of Elsinore, California, Candide (Robert) Lopez of Fountain Valley, California, and Gideon (Dolores) Katz of Huntington Beach, California; brother, Jim (Alice) Stotler of Yorba Linda, California; 12 grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.

The Green River Pirate baseball team played a home game against the Wasatch Academy Tigers on Melon Days Friday and an away game against the Dugway Mustangs on Sept. 25. With a couple of wins against the Tigers and a split between the Mustangs, the Pirates hold an 11-7 record leading up to the State Quarter Finals in Spanish Fork on Oct. 6. Based on the Pirates record, they're confident they will be playing in the quarterfinals; they just don't know which team that will be.
The Pirates were jazzed going into the game with the Tigers. They were ending a two-week dry spell with no games. The Pirates started the first game off with three out of four batters called out on strikes and stranding one on first. At the plate the number two batter, Holden Marshall hit down the third base line, stole third and scored on a passed ball at home. The rest of that game and the second game was pretty much the same way with the first game being called after five and a half innings and a score of 15-0. The second game was also called with an 11-1 score.
After a long bus ride and described by some as 'in the middle of nowhere', the Pirates took to the field against the Dugway Mustangs. The Pirates came into the game with hopes of leaving with two wins and they started out looking like that was in the cards with a six run second inning. The third and fourth innings were pretty dry with Dugway scoring four runs to bring it within striking distance. After five complete innings the score was 7-6 with the Pirates holding a slim lead.
The top of the sixth inning had the Pirates at the top of their line up when as the number three hitter, Jason Johnson was patient at the plate and watched a high and outside 3-1 pitch get called for a ball. With Jason on first base, Keith Clark took a 2-1 pitch and sent it over the center fielder's head for a sweet double, trading places with Jason Johnson who easily scored a much needed run.
The Pirates added a run in the top of the seventh inning but the game was far from over. The Dugway Mustangs were playing before a sellout crowd (looked like a sell out) at home and they could taste a come back win. Dugway was at the top of their line up when Holden Marshall threw him out looking. The second batter was patient and watched a 3-2 pitch (after two foul balls to keep his hopes alive) hit the dirt and strutted off to first.The third batter was also patient and he watched a 3-0 pitch sail on by for his free pass to first base, which gave opportunity for the base runner to steal second base. Using the excitement, the second batter headed for third where an over throw allowed him to make it home. The crowd began to get restless. The second batter feeling his fortunes to be better motored off towards second base when Justin Johnson sent a rocket of a throw to Elias Polito who tagged him out at second. The fourth batter was a bit more nervous and knew he was in trouble when Holden threw a side-arm curve on a 1-2 pitch to retire the inning and secure the win.
Nothing like the score to keep the crowds in check. The Pirates were excited and the Mustangs needed to focus-and focus they did. The Mustangs came out in the bottom of the second inning to score their first run. The Pirates answered in the top of the third but the Mustangs added two more for a 3-1 lead heading into the fourth inning where each team scored an additional run.
To the top of the fifth inning where the Pirates need to score two or more runs to tie it up or take the lead-if not, they split the games and suffer a fate that was all to familiar with them just a short year earlier where the Dugway Mustangs visited Green River and dashed their hopes of an outright region championship. It was not to be, the Pirates were a bit too impatient at the plate by having one batter getting called out on strikes and two batters popping up in the in field.
So the fate of the Green River Pirate baseball team rests in the hands of the Tintic Miners and the ever so familiar Dugway Mustangs. Their games this week determine the eventual quarterfinal spot for the Pirates. Go Mustangs.

Clifford Coffin, 1948
Cocotte dress, Spring–Summer 1948 Haute Couture collection, Zig-Zag line.
The exhibition Dior, the Legendary Images is the newest stage in the Musée Christian Dior's exploration of the bonds between art and fashion. Since 1947, great photographers have enriched Dior creations with their vision, inspired by the unique style of the fashion house. Photographers construct their dialogue with the world at the juncture between the desire to embody the act of creation within reality and the aspiration for an aesthetic absolute.
Photography contributed to Dior's worldwide success from the moment the House was founded. On February 12, 1947, American photographer Pat English documented Christian Dior's first collection, presented in the salons of 30 avenue Montaigne.
Pat English, 1947
The fashion show of Christian Dior's first collection - Spring-Summer 1947: the Bar Suit
CANONS of BEAUTY
The Dior style has continued to fascinate every generation of photographers since. In the postwar years, Richard Avedon, Horst P. Horst, and Clifford Coffin established the canon of Dior iconography: the framing, the lighting, the staging, and the refined poise of the model.
Clifford Coffin, 1948
The Aventure suit, Spring-Summer 1948 Haute Couture collection, Envol line
Then, Irving Penn, Cecil Beaton, Erwin Blumenfeld, Henry Clarke, Peter Knapp, Guy Bourdin, and Helmut Newton shaped the Dior vision of women into an archetype of fashion photography. The genre has been celebrated in contemporary times by Patrick Demarchelier, Peter Lindbergh, Dominique Issermann, Nick Knight, Bruce Weber, and Willy Vanderperre.
Cecil Beaton, 1951
Turquie dress, Autumn–Winter 1951 Haute Couture collection, Longue line.
Jean-Paul Claverie
President of the Présence de Christian Dior association Musée Christian Dior
« Few women, only a handful of privileged clients, models and fashion editors, have had the luxury of being able to actually see, touch, or wear the haute couture dresses that Christian Dior designed from 1947 to 1957. But many women have memories of the photographs of Dior outfits, captured by the likes of Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Henry Clarke, and Erwin Blumenfeld. Published in Vogue or Harper's Bazaar, these photographs helped bring about the birth of a couturier and the creation of a legend. »
Sylvie Lécallier
Head of the Photography collection at the Palais Galliera
When comparing the anonymous photographs of Christian Dior as a youth in granville with shots of the couturier at the height of his fame, taken by the greatest photographers, it is striking to see the similarity in attitude: the later images are portraits of a man who, beyond his physical maturity, had not fundamentally changed. He was still a shy and retiring man who did not like to reveal his feelings. He rarely smiled and sometimes displayed the sorrowful expression of shy loners, to whom he related. He made a veiled confession to harboring this temperament in his memoirs in 1956, recalling his youth in granville: "This isolation suited my tastes."
Brigitte Richart
Curator of the Musée Christian Dior in granville
« Built on a strong aesthetic and cultural foundation, the Dior collections naturally give rise to a body of photographic work that is in harmony with the distinguishing characteristics of the house itself. In the best of such photographs, the photographer not only interprets the work by placing the model in a scene and a role that fit the dress she wears, he also communicates and amplifies the couturier's vision. »
Florence Müller
Curator of the exhibition Dior, the Legendary Images
the Home of Legend
Granville Museum is housed in the former family home of the designer, an edifice characteristic of the Norman coast. In his youth, Christian Dior would gaze out at sweeping sea views and enjoy with his mother the flowerbeds, pergola, rose garden and sea pines of the ornate garden they laid out together.

Les Rhumbs Villa, childhood home of Christian Dior
When Madeleine Dior first laid eyes on this villa - which resembles more a sturdy little manor than a stylish residence - she decided to make it her own. With a similar strength of conviction to that displayed by her son Christian many years later with regard to the mansion at 30, Avenue Montaigne. Back in 1905, the future designer still an infant, Madeleine persuaded Maurice Dior to purchase the house with the neverending vistas. The property perched above Granville, a mere kilometre outside what was "a sleepy port town for nine months of the year and (in summer turned into) an elegant quarter of Paris". His was quite a childhood in the isolated confines of the house. Christian would wile away the hours learning by heart the names of plants and flowers from Vilmorin-Andrieux seed catalogues; listening to the women sing hit of the day « L'Hirondelle de Faubourg » in the warmth of the laundry room; gazing up at the ceiling rose in his bedroom. Christian Dior always thought of Granville with "a nostalgia for stormy nights, foghorns, the death knell sounding a funeral and the Norman drizzle in the midst of which (his childhood) was spent". He tended the flame of Granville for the rest of his days, recreating the spirit of the place in colours (pink and grey), scents (rose and lily-of-the-valley), sturdy, elegant shapes, and an atmosphere of sheltered peacefulness that befits a family home.
Christian Dior's love of flowers and gardens
« The garden that guarded my childhood » is how Christian Dior described the garden of the villa in which he was raised in Granville, Normandy. His mother, Madeleine, was a keen gardener. Christian inherited her love of flowers and was fascinated by the shapes, colours and poetry of this joyous, generous slice of nature. He spent much of his time engrossed in seed catalogues where he learnt by heart the Latin names of the flowers. He delved into landscaping in his teenage years, designing a pool and pergola for the garden of the family home. The young Dior saw the garden as a temple of beauty, calm and contemplation, and his prodigious insight remains to this day a manifesto for landscapers all over the world. He loved flowers most of all. When he became a designer, he wanted them everywhere. Dior dreamt of a world filled with flower-women and attributed floral names to his creations. He endowed with the grace of a rose every one of his dresses, whose meticulous structures and beautiful fabrics and embroidery gave an impression of fragility and infinite beauty. Calices, petals, pistils and stamens rendered in minute detail on evening gowns resembled the work of a brilliant botanist. Between 1947 and 1957 Dior named more than 50 models after roses.
Christian Dior Museum opens at the former family home in Granville
History had in store darker days for Les Rhumbs. The family were staying at Granville when the First World War broke out. They chose not to return to Paris, retreating instead behind the comforting walled safety of the villa and garden. Staunchly loyal to the Allied Forces, this safe haven became one of the first casualties of the Dior family's bankruptcy in the wake of the 1929 crash. The property was auctioned off and the furniture sold piecemeal. The garden was turned into a public park in the 1970s. The estate would not return to Dior hands until almost two decades later.

Jody Cox, a certified flight instructor, held an open house at the airport to determine how many people in Emery County were interested in learning to fly an airplane. With the wind blowing from 40-60 miles per hour on the airport hill, more than 35 people braved the wind to came hear and learn what it takes to fly. The wind was so strong that it could almost blow you across the field. Inside the huge airport hangar the wind could be heard whistling around the doors and windows.
The open house was held in the large airplane hangar at the airfield. Airport Manager Leon Defriez and Commissioner Jeff Horrocks were on hand to welcome those interested in becoming pilots. Flight Instructor Jess Hall, Cox's first flight instructor came from the Price airport to support Cox at the open house. He gave encouragement to those interested in becoming a pilot.
Cox has been a flight instructor for several years, a member of two flying clubs and an aircraft dispatcher for an airline.
In Cox's presentation he covered briefly several topics related to flying that student pilots would be expected to learn, such as weather, safety, flight plans, aircraft performance, navigation, weight and balance, FAA regulations, what you can do with a private pilots license, flight training and ground training. To be a pilot you have to have a minimum of 40 hours of flight training. With today's modern aircraft there is a lot to learn in addition to flying the airplane. Part of the 40 hours of flight training will be flying 10 hours on your own before getting a pilots license. Some cross country flying will be required.
A person wanting to become a pilot will have to learn how to fly at night to avoid flying into a mountain or other hazards. Also how to read the instruments on the dash to get you from point "a" to point "b" without seeing anything outside the cockpit. Some training in emergency landing procedures will be given such as landing without the engine running.
After the flight training and the ground training the student pilot will be required to take a written test and a practical test. To become a pilot you also have to pass a physical examination by a doctor.
A student flying two to three times a week could get a pilot license in three months.
With a pilot license you can carry up to nine passengers if your plane can carry that many. You can go anywhere in the United States, Canada and Mexico night or day. This can be a lot of fun.
Flying a plane can get you from place to place much faster than going by car. In a small plane, you can fly from Salt Lake to Los Angeles in five hours or from Huntington to St George in 1 and ½ hours depending on the speed of the airplane.
Huntington airport is a great place for flight training because it does not have the congestion that exists around large airports like Salt Lake. Just think of all the things that can be seen from the air in and around Emery County.
Joel Gross, a Provo fireman trained by Cox, came down from Springville to tell how he was able to get his pilots license while working. He finished his license in 42 hours while working for the Provo Fire Department. That was completed in July last year.
The next part of Cox's presentation was about the differences in owning a plane and a club of aircraft enthusiasts owning a plane. Cox has lined up two aircraft mechanics to inspect and maintain any aircraft purchased by the group.
Flying with an instructor, including the rental of the aircraft, the fuel and maintenance will cost between $120-140 per hour depending upon the aircraft used or about $6,000-8,000 to get a pilots license. If a club owns the plane the cost per hour would be less for club members. The group was asked how many would be interested in joining a flying club and were given an application form to fill out.
Cox would like to start a ground school that would be held twice a week. He thanked everyone for coming to the open house.

If your foot rolls to the outer edge when you run, you are an underpronator, if it rolls to the inner edge you are a overpronator and if your foot doesn't roll at all you are a neutral or stable runner.

Skip to comments.Open thread: Obama to deliver statement at 6:45 ET feigning interest in border crisis
Posted on 07/09/2014 3:19:39 PM PDT by lilyramone
Hes busy with fundraisers today and probably bowling or miniature golf or something, but hes going to squeeze in a few brief remarks on why hes not much interested in summarily deporting the hundreds of thousands of illegals who are on their way from Central America.
You ready? The long-awaited tarmac handshake with Perry is already on the books:
(Excerpt) Read more at hotair.com ...
Feigning interest. Precisely.
Oh, darn, I'll be busy then.
When Obama finishes his blather Perry should announce the he is calling forth the State Military forces and deploying them on the border to repel the invasion of Texas.
And once people get those diseases they can be denied treatment by Obamacare! Yippee!!!
There are a lot of presidents to blame for this.
Love the title.
The 'crisis' that he created, planned, and funded.
Oh, he's interested all right. He just doesn't think it's a crisis.
Free beer if he yawns at any point during the speech.
If you like your scabies you can KEEP your scabies. Period.
C'mon Ted! You can do it! Say the "I" word!
Let me be clear
There are those who say
I, me, my
Is the bottom right E.T.?
This site has a live feed for those who can't watch it on TV
(because maybe their kids have monopolized the two television sets with Barbie movies and to play Minecraft...just one example)
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeereeeeeeeeeeeees Barry
Kids are only arriving at the Rio Grande part of the border.
[Lie. That train that goes into southern Cali is loaded with illegals.]
More border patrol agents than at any time in history. [Sort of like GW's National Guard on the border?]
Some cabinet members meeting with Central American officials.
Congress needs to fund this. [That should be 'the American citizens are going to fund this through their taxes.']
Congress == House republicans are at fault for not passing comprehensive immigration. YAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNN. If Congress had passed that last year, we wouldn't have this problem this year.
Give me more more more more money money money.
0bama triggered this invasion and is now blaming Congress because they'll not pass funding to WORSEN the invasion? WTF, effing IDIOT.
Current actions pre-date his administration. [It ain't MY fault!!!!]
Blaming Congress again for not putting up $$$$$$.
[Sen. Coburn calculates that $3.7 billion for 60,000 illegal children is roughly $60,000 PER CHILD.]
Did he manage to blame Bush?
he wanted this to cause havoc , and now acts as if he is not at fault .
The clown is all about changing this country just like he said before he got elected
Having a difficult time listening to the liar.
His initial fake conciliatory comments followed by
a not-so-subtle claim that he's focused on
children is typical game strategy from the left.
So he is holding the National Guard help hostage until he gets the money....got it
"undocumented workers"....More Border agents???WHAAAT?
The illegals are RUNNING TO THE AGENTS!
tHIS IS A CLASSIC DEMAGOGUE. LYING. and he won't be able to be ASKED about anything he says....He just sounds sooooo'reasonable."
I want to throw up.
"the american people are a compassionate people" NO, THEY ARE STUPID!!!
oooPS, WE ARE GOING TO FIX Hondurous and guatamala.
Question was a set up FOR Obozo.
He is more than feigning interest, since he is actively involved in orchestrating the border invasion.
Now, he is just rambling in response to the reporter's cover question — whether complaints about his not going to the border were just the opposition party playing politics.
2nd reporter: Sounds like poor O is afraid the Supplemental will fall victim to partisan politics.
O snidely remarks that he is getting sued by Boehner. [Not that O is inserting politics into the situation, of course.]
He just said that Perry said that "maybe I should just go ahead and act."
Did he just say that?
Seems he rambled right into the doodoo on that one.
Wow. Fox just cut away to Greta and Ed Henry.
I want to throw up again!
Republicans should negotiate and compromise...WHHAAAT A LIAR!
do anything but actually guarding the border
hE'S ONLY 'considering" national Guard.
I could be wrong, but I thought Governors called up the National Guard.
60,000 illegal children, there are also 240,000 illegal adults in the first wave we are experiencing. The second wave will be arriving soon after.
yep —
The left never compromises.
I hope Perry states that Obama has to seure the borders...not Congress....he can't hold the money hostage
I hope Perry doesn't pull a Christie. This is the governor's moment. Will he give "Sandy" cover or call him out?
ALL the questions are softballs set ups for Obozo!Cherry picked, to make him look good.
I want to hear what Perry says.
That's right. FReepers have been encouraging Perry to do just that.
Cannot wait to see Perry's reaction to this blather from Obama
I had to turn off Sparky. I can't stand to even listen to him.
Feminine 0bama is doing or not doing whatever Valerie Jarrett tells him to do or not do. I smell estrogen behind every thing he says and does. He is a P*SSY of the highest order. FRICKIN' P*SSY raised by a feminist mother and transgender crossdressing nanny!!!!!

These are your ramp pads, built to the highest industry standards. Protec raised the stakes with their newly designed Drop-In pads. The Protec Drop In Knee Pads in Black/Grey are lighter, with a more streamlined closure, giving it a more anatomical cut, and an improved molded knee cap shape. Protec also added natural suede embossed leather at key wear points. An all new dual-layered EVA foam interior takes the impacts and keeps the pads comfortable for all-day use.
A new single layer back closure keeps the material from bunching behind the knee while the new non-stretch nylon lower strap holds the pad in place. Equipped with a built-in wear indicator on the newly shaped knee cap so you know when it's time to replace the caps, the Drop-In pads are the pinnacle of transition protection.
Constructed with Dri-Lex, a mastery over perspiration because of its hydrophobic (moisture-hating) polyester and hydrophilic (moisture-loving) nylon. This combination creates a 2-Zone Comfort Lining resulting in a push-pull effect that pulls perspiration off the skin and deploys it to the outer layer to rapidly dry. Dri-Lex is non-wrinkling, resists odor and mildew, is breathable and quick-drying. Protec logo throughout. Sizes available as seen below.
- More lightweight and streamlined
- Anatomical cut
- Natural suede embossed leather at key wear points

Picasso Inviz Wire SS Tandem Thunder Spinnerbait
The Picasso Inviz Wire SS Tandem Thunder Spinnerbait features a heat-treated, brown-colored super wire which is stronger than traditional stainless wires and is much less visable to fish. The stealthy, natural appearance draws attention to the skirt and blades without the distraction of wire flash, which is especially important in clear water. The .035 Super Strong brown wire creates the ultimate vibration and durability.
It is designed for those anglers that prefer using a heavier wire guage but love the stealth of a light wire. Perfect for targeting fish in cover, it features a special loop line tie which creates a pulsing spring-like action and completely prevents the line from slipping up the wire. Equipped with premium Sampo ball bearing swivels and super sharp Mustad Ultra Point Hooks. Hand-tuned to run perfectly right out of the package.

Customer Reviews
Comments: first fish the wire broke at the head as I bent it back into shape. I love light wire spinnerbaits but one fish is not durable enough for me.

Los Angeles denim brand House of Cassette's Peter James Lee talks candidly about what influences his brand strategy and what makes his jeans so special. Note that the language might be NSFW, so dial down your audio. Lee provides a bit of denim history and reveals how his jeans references vintage Levi's construction with the use of interior chainstitching on the yoke and waistband. Also referencing Cassette's use of vintage machinery and their "analog" design ethos, you get the idea that their jeans are individually crafted with a lot more care than mass-produced jeans. This is part 2 of Episode 1, entitled "Cut & Show."
Video directed by Karlyn Michelson. For more information, go to House of Cassette online.

Just a pretty look
"These shoes look very nice but the material stains. I was excited when I got them but the first thing I noticed it was a white mark on them so I thought just to clean it later on as they look so cute. I started trying them on , they look really nice and the color is great (purple) but then I saw that my fingers were purple too! I'm not sure if they can stain my clothes (white pants) but not taking that risk or maybe ending up with a pair of faded purple shoes. They are going back :(."

Hair that has structure yet freedom of movment. I love the vintage infusion that makes you take a second look.
Hairdressing too long (24 years). I've always loved learning, for me education is the lifeline to our industry and when we stop learning we stop loving. I have owned my own salon for 7 years & was a member of the ghd directive from 2007. I love London Fashion week, it's great to work with so many talented hairstylists and to work on trends that dilute into mainstream. Fashion week is a must for me, it's where you gain so much inspiration for the upcoming months.

A fellow soldier found the tape 'Cousin Brucie' sent Roy Tschudy to boost troops' spirits, forgotten at the bottom of an old dresser.
It was the Mekong Delta, late February or early March 1968, and one soldier from New York had heard enough of local radio's offerings.
"All we got was Vietnamese or country and western," recalled Roy Tschudy, then an 18-year-old from the Bronx serving with the Army's 271st Aviation Company. "Country and western, for the guys from the South, they were grateful for it. But we're from New York, and we were like, 'You got to be kidding me.'"
So the Army specialist fourth class, two months into his tour of duty, took a break from perimeter duty and wrote to a popular Top 40 radio host back home, asking for help.
He addressed his letter to Bruce "Cousin Brucie" Morrow, who hosted a show on WABC-AM. Three weeks later, Tschudy received a manila envelope in Can Tho. It contained a reel-to-reel tape and a letter from Morrow.
"Hi Fellas! Here is the tape of my show that you requested," Morrow wrote. "Please pass it around to as many companies as you can since we have only been able to send out a limited number of these tapes."
The opening song was Mrs. Robinson by Simon and Garfunkel and, after a Coca-Cola commercial, Morrow told his audience that the show was being taped "for the boys."
"All the guys will be listening to the show maybe a couple of weeks from now in Vietnam," Morrow said. "We love you."
He mentioned soldiers in Vietnam a couple of more times during the one-hour broadcast.
Tschudy said he and his fellow soldiers, mainly from the New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia area, enjoyed the tape so much they played it almost every day.
"It just made us feel like we were home," Tschudy recalled, who now lives in Suffern, N.Y. "It made us feel that somebody cared enough for us, that we weren't forgotten."
While serving in Vietnam in 1968 in the U.S. Army, Roy Tschudy wrote Bruce "Cousin Brucie" Morrow for a tape of his radio show. The tape left with fellow soldiers in '69, but has been returned to Tschudy. Ricky Flores, The (Westchester County, N.Y.) Journal News
After his 13-month tour, Tschudy left Vietnam, but the tape stayed behind for his fellow soldiers.
In 1990, Tschudy called in to Morrow's show to thank him. "I just can't tell you what it did to us. It picked up all our spirits," Tschudy told Morrow on the air. "The tape was replayed and replayed for the whole year."
Morrow interrupted: "Listen!" he said. "Thank YOU!"
"Can you imagine? I mean what these people did for us, did for the country," Morrow told the radio audience. "We're always indebted to what you did. Hey! Listen guys, gals. We are always being indebted to what you did over there. We didn't understand it first, but now we do."
About a month and a half ago, Tschudy said, an Army buddy, Jimmy Quinn, called from Texas to say he had found the 1968 tape in the bottom of an old dresser.
Tschudy, 64, was reunited with the tape after 45 years. A neighbor volunteered to digitize it so Tschudy could listen to it with his CD player.
The tape, and Morrow's letter, was part of a presentation for Suffern middle-school students on Monday by Rockland County Chapter 333 of the Vietnam Veterans of America.
The memorabilia will be taken to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington to become part of the collection of the National Parks Service Museum and Resource Center.

A Cleveland woman was injured in a one car accident on SR-155, north of Cleveland on April 27. Deputy Paul Simmons was in the area taking a report on some youth who had hit a dog near where the woman had gone off the road. He decided to look along the roadway for the dog and possibly notify its owners. He was searching the area, spotlighting and looking for the dog when he saw the faint glow of a light coming from the canal area. It was approximately 11 p.m. at this time. Further investigation by Deputy Simmons resulted in his seeing a vehicle in the canal. He called into dispatch to see if an accident had been reported and there wasn't any report of an accident.
Deputy Simmons went down into the canal and he saw a leg hanging out of the open door of the vehicle. He immediately summoned help to the scene. He removed the woman from the vehicle. She had sustained severe head injuries. The Bronco going into the canal had acted as a dam for the water and the woman was in danger of slipping out of the vehicle and drowning. She was hanging onto the vehicle to avoid being swept away. She reported that many vehicles had passed by, but no one had stopped or saw her go off the road. The woman was suffering from apparent hypothermia from being exposed to the cold ditch water for nearly an hour before Deputy Simmons happened by.
The woman was transported to Castleview Hospital in Price.

Getting a Bank Loan
An issue that has become quite vexing for many small business owners in recent years is finding the funding for their business, be it for a start-up or to fund growth. Between the Great Recession and the mortgage meltdown, financing dried up; not only was the home equity ATM turned off, but loans generally became harder to get.
But the good news is that there are all still sorts of ways these days to still get your dream funded. So in this blog and the next few, I would like to share with my friends here at Greatland some different ways to get your business funded.
Today, let's look at how one gets a regular old bank loan, because, despite some common misperceptions, that is still the way most entrepreneurs fund their businesses. Now, is it a little more difficult than before? Sure. But that said, it is still quite doable. After all, what is the business of a bank? To lend money. They want to lend you money. It is your job therefore to make it easy for them to do so.
Here's how: Getting a business loan will require that you jump through several hoops – properly and in order. You will need to have a lot of documentation prepared for the bank, and the bank will additionally look at your personal credit history, ability to collateralize the loan, business history, books (profit & loss statements, balance sheets, etc.), and more.
Because an element of risk is involved in every loan a bank makes, you need to help the bank understand that your loan's risk is low. You can do that if you understand the "Four Cs" of credit. When a banker considers a business loan, it will analyze your application through this filter:
- Character. This relates to the integrity, reputation, and history of the borrower. In smaller community credit unions and banks, character is a significant factor, whereas in many big banks, your credit score matters much more. Character is determined by your payment history, credit profile, letters of reference, and so on.
- Capital. How much money do you need? The more money you seek, the tougher it will be to get.
- Capacity. What is your ability of to repay the loan? You will need to be able to show to the lender that you will be able to service the loan amount requested and that it will be repaid in full and on time. Requesting too much is not a good idea therefore.
- Collateral. Not all business bank loans require collateral, in fact, some are unsecured, but that is more the exception than the rule. Bankers like collateral, and there are all sorts of options you can use to secure a loan: A home or other real estate, inventory, machinery, even accounts receivable.
So, if you need a bank loan, think like a banker and understand these four concepts before you apply.
(For even more business tips and strategies, check out our podcast on iTunes, Small Business Success with Steve Strauss, Powered by Greatland.)
SBA Loans
In my last blog, I shared how to think like a banker so as to up your chances of getting a conventional bank loan. Today I would like to drill down a bit more into a very specific sort of loan – one made in conjunction with The Small Business Administration.
What if I were to tell you that there is an agency of the United States government whose sole job is to help you succeed in your business? Would you like that? And what if I further told you that said agency has a yearly budget of over $1 billion and that it facilitates in excess of 50,000 small business loans a year, totaling more than $15 billion? Do you think that may help you get your business funded?
Of course we are talking about the Small Business Administration. In many ways, the SBA is one of the best friends your business can have, but this is even truer when it comes to funding. SBA loans have helped millions of entrepreneurs start and grow their business and it can help you too.
The first thing to understand about SBA loans is that the SBA does not make loans, as strange as that sounds. What the SBA does is guarantee loans. By offering a loan guarantee to a bank, the SBA makes it easier for that bank to make more loans since the bank is assured of repayment; if the borrower is unable to repay the loan, the U.S. government will. That is a fine incentive for making more loans.
How much does the SBA guarantee? Traditionally, SBA loan guarantees worked this way:
- Loans up to $50,000 – SBA guarantees 50% of the loan
- Loans up to $150,000 – SBA guarantees 85% of the loan
- Loans above $150,000 – SBA guarantees 75% of the loan
A big change resulting from the 2009 stimulus law is that the SBA now has the right to guarantee up to 90% of all loans. Sometimes the SBA does in fact guarantee that much, but not always. As they say, "your results may vary."
The core loan the SBA makes, its basic, mainstay loan program, is the 7(a) loan. 7(a) loans can be used for all sorts of things – startups, working capital, equipment, furniture, and real estate even. The length of the loan can be anywhere for 10 to 25 years, and loan amount have recently been raised to $5 million.
But this is just one type of loan. There are many others fo other purposes. Check out this site.
There really is not a lot of difference between applying for an SBA loan and a conventional business loans. You will need to provide extensive documentation as to your need and use of the monies and you will need to make a great impression. The main difference is that here, you will need to fill out SBA forms in addition to whatever else the lender typically requires. The basic SBA forms that you should expect to encounter, among others, are these:
- Form 4: Application for Business Loan
- Form 4A: Schedule of Collateral
- Form 413: Personal Financial Statement
- Form 912: Statement of Personal History
- Form 1846: Statement Regarding Lobbying
One last note: Aside from more lenient underwriting criteria, one other good thing about SBA loans is that you may not need collateral to get one. According to the SBA, "To the extent that worthwhile assets are available, adequate collateral is required as security on all SBA loans. However, SBA will generally not decline a loan where inadequacy of collateral is the only unfavorable factor."

In my past few blogs, I shared some thoughts on how to get a bank loan these days. But what if your credit is bad or you just don't want to go that route for some reason? In this blog and the next, I would like to share with my Greatland readers a couple of other ways to fund a business.
Today, lets look at factoring. Factoring is the selling of a business' accounts receivable to a third party in order to obtain funding now. Often, the money can be received within 24 to 48 hours. Whereas factoring was once a sort of exotic idea, today it is a commonplace way for businesses of all kinds to get the capital they need without having to apply for a bank loan or sell a piece of the company to an investor. Literally billions of dollars in accounts receivables are factored every year.
Another nice thing about factoring is that it is a relatively easy and quick process, especially in comparison to getting a bank loan. Indeed, the factor cares little about your credit-worthiness and is really only concerned about the payment history of your customer. If your customer pays in full and on time, you are in business. Usually all the factor needs from you is proof that all services are complete or that all products have been delivered as promised. Once you show that, selling your invoice on that deal should be a breeze.
Even though the idea of factoring is easy to understand – you are owed money so you sell that "asset" to someone else – factoring is a still specialized way of getting money. It has its own language. Here are the key terms you need to know:
- Account Debtor: Your customer. The one who owes you money.
- Factor: The Company that is willing to buy the accounts receivables so as to provide businesses with operating capital.
- Advance rate: This is the amount the factor will advance you on the invoice.
- Verification: This is the process whereby the factor verifies that you have in fact provided a product or service for a customer and that the customer plans on paying the invoice.
- Discount fee: The fee that the factor will charge you for the service
Obviously, factoring is not an idea that works for most startups because consistent accounts receivable must be in the pipeline for a factor to be interested. But for those more established companies that do have money owed to them every month, factoring can be a great solution. It can provide immediate working capital for inventory, payroll, improved facilities, projects, anything.
Really, the only downsides to this deal are:
- In return for that almost-instant cash, you must be willing to give up some of the money you are owed, to the factor (the discount fee), and
- You must be willing to have the company whose invoice you are selling learn of the sale; they will be paying the invoice to the factor and not you.

Angel Investors
The best angel investing story, ever: In 1996, Larry Page and Sergey Brin were Ph.D. students at Stanford working on a research project that looked at the number and quality of sites that linked to a particular web page. Using mathematical algorithms, Page and Brin soon saw that the pages that had the most sites linking to it on a given subject were among the most relevant in a search engine query. Page and Brin then decided to use this information to create their own search engine they would eventually call Google.
In 1998, Page and Brin had met angel investor Andy Bechtolsheim, gave him a demonstration of Google, and Bechtolsheim decided to invest in their nascent company. He wrote out a check in the amount of $100,000 to "Google, Inc." But according to Contact Magazine, "The investment created a small dilemma. There was no way to deposit the check since there was no legal entity [yet] known as 'Google Inc.' The check sat in Larry's desk drawer for a couple of weeks while he and Sergey scrambled to set up a corporation."
That $100,000 angel investment soon led to almost another million in investor funding. In 2004, Google went public and raised more than $1 billion. Today, Google has been calculated to be the world's most valuable brand, with a value of around $100 billion.
Yes, angels are called angels for a reason – they answer business prayers. But if you want to find your own angel, then the first thing to understand is that the one thing they look for is a prayer that can make them a lot of money.
Here is what they look for:
- The opportunity: Why is this a unique opportunity and how will your business capitalize on it? Not every business needs to be the next big thing and not every business will need to raise $1 million in angel funding, but every business will need to show the investor that it offers something unique to the marketplace such that the likelihood of the investor making money is high.
- The competition: Who are your competitors, and why are you better?
- The financials: Your angel investor will want to see how you plan on spending the money, where and on what. What are your projected sales? Why?
- The team: Almost more than anything else, an investor can be wooed by a great team, one with experience, credentials, smarts, and contacts.
So where do you locate these angel investors of which I speak? The first place, and often the best, is through networking. Speak with your friends and family, with your accountant and lawyer, with real estate agents, bankers, and customers.
Beyond networking, maybe it is no surprise that the Internet has become a big player in the angel investment game. A host of online groups have cropped up in recent years to facilitate the introduction of entrepreneur and angel investor. A Google search will provide you with a list to choose from, but here are a few to help you get started:
- Gust: Gust is a business planning and funding platform that allows entrepreneurs to search through over 25,000 investors.
- AngelList: "How it works: You create a pitch and select investors . . . The investors review startups as they come in and ask for intros to the ones they like."
- GoBigNetwork: First, place your business and get it promoted throughout the site. Next, gain exposure to more than 20,000 investors. Third, meet those investors interested in your project.
No, getting an angel investment will not be as easy as it was for the founders of Google, but the benefits to you should nevertheless be equally significant if you get your business prayers answered.

FMS Corrections using the MYOFORCE Versus
The Versus Hip Sequence is a multi faceted exercise that was designed to help correct many dysfunctional movements and positions. If you see the dysfunctions listed below during your FMS screenings try this exercise and then retest the movement pattern.
Purpose of the Versus Hip Sequence:
To engage the glute medius/minimus and then activate the hamstrings/calves, glutes, paraspinals and core. By activating those muscles and maxing out the end range hip extension you will shut down the hip flexors by way of reciprocal inhibition. As you progress in repetitions you should increase your range of motion with hip extension. After the desired repetitions you can perform unilateral hip extensions either with your hips abducted or with the hips in line with your knees and feet. Due to the pulley system on the Versus the unilateral hip extension forces core stabilization by way of resisting the pelvic dip on the extended hip side.
Deep Squat
- Lateral weight shift of the lower body
- Pelvic rotation
Hurdle Step
- Hip abduction when hip flexes
- Torso lateral flexing
- Pelvic rotation upon return of the flexed leg
- Relative adduction of hip on the stance leg
In Line Lunge
- Frontal plane instability
- Forward flexion of torso
Rotary stability
- Pelvic rotation at hip extension
- Relative adduction of hip on stabilizing leg
- Loss of balance
Please check out our video for proper execution of these corrective exercises.

Hi, I am a new mom of a one month old. Co-sleeping seemed like the most natural thing in the world when we brought our baby home, because it was so obvious that she felt more secure when she was up close to my body, and that made sense to us considering she had been inside me all of that time. But now she really cannot sleep without me. I am wondering, what happens to my husband and my relationship? With co-sleeping, I have to go to bed when my baby falls asleep, so that rules out staying up and spending any quality time with my husband. And I am wondering, what about intimacy? All of this is new to me, and I am just trying to figure out how it is going to work for our life. Any advice would be welcomed!
No announcement yet.

You are concerned about how a newborn is going to change your marriage. Well, in my experience, children change marriage quite a bit, but many of those ways are pretty great!
as for time with your dh, does your baby not sleep alone AT ALL? can you roll away after she is asleep? if she can't yet, she probably will be able to soon. is your other question about space? many couples find that they are able to make use of the other rooms in their house while their baby sleeps in their bed.

With our first baby we did that some too. I would nurse him to sleep then let hubby hold him while we watched our favorite shows. Infant firstborn "watched" the Lord of the Ring Trilogy. Hubby and I really like those movies. Sometimes newborn firstborn would fall asleep for the night in a wrap and we would take a walk together (we live in a little city so we could walk downtown and get a snack too) There are many options if you choose to keep you baby with you. A newborn can also go to a movie with a couple! There is so much you can do with a newborn, they sleep so much!
If you choose to put your baby to bed and stay at home there are many ways to do that too. Use the 'roll away' technique. Nurse to sleep then roll away. Are you concerned about safety. We can talk about that too. If my hubby and I are in the room together (living room) I can put the baby in a moses basket, in a bassinet or other portable baby 'thing' then take him with you to bed when you and hubby go.
My husband wanted to be with us (me and baby) What do you want to do with hubby? What do you miss doing that you did before?
Thanks for the tips...maybe part of the problem is our baby is fussy at night, so when she falls asleep, we just want to get her (and us) in to bed as seamlessly as possible. This might just be a temporary issue that will resolve in time. Right now, she seems to not be able to sleep hardly at all unless right up next to me. For naps I can usually get a break by putting her in the swing or in a boppy for a little while, but lying flat, she lasts a very short time without me.
I worry so much about her waking and starting to cry again that I don't even want to try to lay her down without me or roll away from her, because she wakes so easily if I am not right next to her. Do you think this is something that will get easier with age? Also, does everyone put their mattresses on the floor? If you roll away, how do you make sure that the baby doesn't fall?

Hmmmm. two things
1. Both my babies did transtition out of that need after a few months. My second had a dairy allergy which after figured out and avoided really imporoved his sleep. Have you thought of any indications ofsensitivities in your child?
2. Maybe your husband could lay with you in bed and and do stuff, read, watch a movie, talk.
I understand what it is like with a fussy baby! I know you just want to get him to sleep. You also want to do stuff with hubby. You are having trouble seeing how you could do both with your infants current needs. It may help to think of how this high need part of your child's life is short, a few months maybe, and that is a way you both can focus on getting through it. How is your husband feeling about the whole thing? Are you getting pressure form him?

we had our mattress on the floor at that stage. we pushed the mattress into a corner so that two sides were surrounded by wall. we then put pillows all around the mattress. we also had a video camera monitor that we could watch them if we were in another room.
With my first born, I thought the sleeplessness would last forever!! Now she is 5 years old, and it seems like it was for such a short time (4 months, maybe 6?). So, yes, I'm sure it's just a phase.
I also agree that it might be food allergies. All of my children had milk allergies, so after I stopped eating so much cheese they slept much better.
My 3rd actually wanted me to hold her (cradle position) sitting upright, for the first 2-3 months of her life. Fortunately, I already knew from my first that this was just a stage, and to just enjoy it.
I also put pillows around the bed to ensure a safe landing in case anyone rolled off the mattress.
I hope you enjoy this very special time!
Thank you for your replies. It helps to be reminded that this stage is short...right now it is hard to remember that, especially since she is my first. I hadn't really thought about food allergies...is it possible that they would make her fussy only in the evenings? She's a pretty happy baby the rest of the time, but at night...I wish I could just nurse her to sleep, but she gets really fussy and we usually have to pace and bounce until she finally drifts off, and then get in to bed carefully trying not to wake her, or we just have to start all over again. Needless to say, sometimes I don't even have a chance to brush my teeth or use the bathroom before bed because I am so concerned that if I move she will wake up.
Thankfully my husband is very supportive, and does spend time with me and helps me try to calm her. I think I just miss cuddling with him. I love cuddling our daughter, but it would be nice to be on the receiving end of some affection! But maybe the answer to my question is just about realizing that this stage will be over sooner than it feels. Thanks for the support!
