Bella loves freeze dried mangos and mangosteens (totally different fruits) from TJ's. And those snap pea crisps they sell there too! Love em! Other than that, you pretty much feed your DD the same thing I feed mine!
BTW, Bella loves those organic yogurts by Stoneyfield in the tubes (yes they have sugar).....I don't give them to her too often, but when I do she loves them frozen!

Engaged to my awesome fiance and attached parent, gentle-discipline, cloth-diapering, SAHM to my two boys, soon-to-be step son and step daughter.
We have Ants on a Log (a celery stick filled with peanut butter and then raisins stuck in the peanut butter), pumpkin or zucchini bread muffins (I make it with organic whole wheat flour and organic sugar), carrot sticks with Ranch (still trying to find a good dip without MSG) and just about any fruit; grapes, apple wedges (which are yummy with peanut butter too), pealed oranges, bananas, pears, etc. We try not to incorporate too much dairy or processed/refined wheat and sugar. I'm racking my brain for veggie snacks that the kids will actually eat. Carrot sticks and celery are as far as they'll go and even then not everyone will eat them.
all the above ideas are good, and healthy.
If you are at home and you have time you can make animal or other faces with diff. fruits and veggies. They'll pick off the ones they like, and leave the rest for you to eat....
I have a book with ideas+ photos of the snacks, so it's easy for me to make them. I can photocopy them for you.
Maeve LOVES frozen peas, still frozen , for a snack. Sometimes she even wants frozen corn! She also loves popcorn. Popcorn is a high-quality carbohydrate and is LOADED with fiber. She likes it with butter, cinnamon sugar, freshly grated Parmesan, or curry powder and raisins. I also make smoothies for Maeve. She thinks they're milkshakes!

Mamma to DSO (May 2005), DDL (July 2006) and DSF (Feb 2009).
Out beyond our ideas of right and wrong, there is a field. I'll meet you there.
Frozen smoothie - popstickels. We make smoothies from fruit and juice only, and put it in to the popstickel-molds. Superpopular.
The main snack in our home is fresh fruits though.

Snack time versus meal time
We don't have set meal times in our house so the girls snack all day. I offer steamed broccoli (with nutritional yeast sprinkles), steamed sweet potato, beans (all kinds right from the can rinsed off), cubed baked tofu, and noodles in addition to all the things people mention like fruit etc. I also offer trail mix that I make with raw nuts (cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, pistachio nuts, almonds, raisins, cheerios, shredded coconut etc) that I keep on hand for snacky times. Then when it comes time for my dh and I to sit down for dinner they sit with us but if they are not hungry they are not required to eat, as they get older they eat with us more often than not.

Cooking Up a Delicious Meal with a Local Twist
Cross posted from the Let's Move! blog:
Located in the one of the most fertile agricultural valleys on Earth is the town of Manteca, Calif. Surrounded by groves of almonds, cherries, olives and a host of other crops for as far as the eye can see, a group of students sought inspiration for First Lady Michelle Obama's Recipes for Healthy Kids competition by "going local." Our judges traveled to the valley recently to visit Joshua Cowell Elementary School in Manteca, to sample the recipe and to watch the students work their magic.
Mary Tolan-Davi (former Director of Manteca Unified School District Nutrition Services) of the recipe team is very proud. Here is what she had to say about the day the contest judges came to visit on May 10: Read more »

Skip to comments.Americans are playing poker online? Oh, the humanity!
Posted on 10/13/2006 5:03:36 PM PDT by KDD
EDITORIAL: Internet gambling 'ban'
Americans are playing poker online? Oh, the humanity!
Of the myriad policy crises churning on the horizon -- entitlement insolvency, illegal immigration and runaway federal spending among them -- congressional Republicans chose to spend the little political capital they have left on an Internet gambling ban.
With brick-and-mortar casinos in nearly every state and card games breaking into network television, millions of moralists found it unbearable that Americans were wagering about $6 billion per year on the Web. That their neighbors might be playing poker or placing sports bets from the comfort of their desk chairs demanded federal intervention. "Ban it!" they cried. "Misguided citizens will lose their homes! Their children will starve! Families will be destroyed!"
Never mind the folly of legislating leisure. (That Prohibition thing was a rousing success, wasn't it? And certainly, no sports wagering takes place outside of Nevada.) Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., was determined to please his base with a new law before November's election, no matter how flawed or misguided it might be.
The cause was so preposterous it couldn't win passage as a stand-alone bill. Sen. Frist first tried to attach the Internet gambling ban to a defense appropriations bill. No luck. So he slipped it into port security legislation that passed the House and Senate early Saturday. A Bush administration official indicated the president plans to sign the bill into law.
And so no children will be forced into homelessness, their parents now prohibited from using personal checks, credit cards or electronic fund transfers to pay off Internet bets placed with online casinos and sports books. The costly, irresistible temptation of playing games of chance on personal computers has been eradicated. Right?
Wrong. Not only did Sen. Frist have to lard up the ports bill to win passage for his pet project, he included enough exemptions to rival the IRS tax code.
The bill permits Web-based betting on horse racing and for state lotteries. It also allows state-licensed casinos, once authorized within their jurisdiction, to construct Web sites with online poker and casino-style gaming. And these casinos would be allowed to provide links to other states and countries where gambling is legal.
So rather than deliver a "ban," Sen. Frist merely cut off the American market from online gambling sites based in Britain and the Caribbean. Like most heavy-handed regulations, this "ban" is really just thinly veiled protectionism.
"In order to get this bill passed, they (Republicans) sold their souls. They gave so many exceptions that it's now a wide-open area," attorney Tony Cabot, editor of the Internet Gambling Report and co-editor of the Gaming Law Review, told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
This Internet gambling "ban" is nothing close to a ban at all -- and that's a good thing. It's foolish to think the Internet gambling genie can be stuffed back into its bottle. Technology is driving the evolution of the gaming industry, so it makes perfect sense that regulated American companies should be allowed to conduct business with their millions of customers through the World Wide Web.
The bill could bring some short-term pain to MGM Mirage and Harrah's Entertainment, which use Internet poker sites to place some entrants in their own poker tournaments. But they'll figure out how to rebuild their qualification networks. The opportunities now available to Nevada gaming companies are staggering in their scope.
"The casino lobbyists in Washington, D.C., thought this was a pretty good deal. It's actually better than that," Mr. Cabot said. "It really opens up the field. It knocks out the offshore companies, and leaves the legal licensees open to take their positions."
It remains to be seen, however, whether the American conservatives who demanded this legislation will think it's a good deal. More likely, they'll realize sometime soon that they've been taken by a sucker bet.
More like tired of them pandering to Indian casino interests.
Of the myriad policy crises churning on the horizon -- entitlement insolvency, illegal immigration and runaway federal spending among them -- congressional Republicans chose to spend the little political capital they have left on an Internet gambling ban.
After this election is over, and everyone had better pray the libs do not get control in Washington, I will be dumping the Repubs. They are USELESS WIMPS who do not fight and represent the weakest politics in Washington -- yeah, we must spend time on internet poker while our country continues to suffer the ravages of runaway spending and illegal immigration all hosted by a complacent, vote-mongering Congress that is totally useless to America --- it only serves itself.
Anyone else tired of GOP pandering to the religous right?
- - - - - - - -
Don't be daft. This had nothing to do with the religious right. This wasn't even on the radar scope of most social conservatives. This was the casino lobby masking a move as that of the religious conservatives.
The "religious right" are wondering what they have to show for the past five years at all.
Most of the money is going to gambling websites outside our country. Who knows where the money is going?
Maybe not, but there's a pretty vocal minority of them who'll argue in favor of it.
Frist, Kyle , Leach and Goodlatte all used "morals" and "family values"(forthechildrenandgod) to push more government control over banking and the internet. Read their statements. If you can't find them I will post them here for you.
I don't know whose idea this was, but it sucks anyway. Nonetheless, with the exceptions put in, it shouldn't be long until the Nevada casinos partner up with California Indian casinos to bring us internet gambling for things like hold 'em to a new level!
The only reason this happened was they couldn't figure out how Uncle Sam was to get his cut.
I don't gamble online and it'd take lots of work to gin up a braincell or two worth of care about anyone else gambling online.
Besides, you can still gamble your nest egg away in 10 minutes if you choose. Just sign up for an online brokerage account and start "playing the market".
If they alienate the other 3/4 of the party who do not care for false piety in politicians or government enforced morality of actions that are private in nature then the GOP could be gazing on an electoral landscape as bleak as that which existed for the GOP in the years following Watergate.
Still I've seen gambling ruin people's life and can't help but believe internet gambling would take this destructive potential to the nth.
Agreed, this was about Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and Indian Casinos getting protection. This has nothing to do with the religious right.
The same could be true of any imports. Most online poker sites are based and regulated in the UK. This bill is an excellent way to tick off one of our few real allies.
So does drinking, smoking and overreating...how about we ban all that too. I'M SO SICK OF THE GOVERNMENT TELLING ME HOW I CAN SPEND MY MONEY.
So does drinking, smoking and overreating...how about we ban all that too. I'M SO SICK OF THE GOVERNMENT TELLING ME HOW I CAN SPEND MY MONEY.
Exactly. They had to specifically add an exception for securities trading in the bill, otherwise ETrade would be illegal.
Also exemptions for sports betting(which the NFL demanded) and horse track racing.
If this is true, then Frist deserves a medal.
So break the law then.
But face the fact that govts DO get involved when they see particularly destructive vices breaking down society.
If Frist deserves a medal it would be for being an anti-freedom, anti-American, pro-nanny state, pandering Senator.
The Founders of this Country, who saw nothing wrong with funding the Revolution with gambling proceeds, would be disgusted, as I am.
Unless it's in answer to unfair practices initiated on the other side, it's more likely that protectionist policies will ultimately be more damaging than they are helpful in the long term.
Everyone knows land based casinos in America are losing money to the popular online casinos so they got the Frist legislation passed to ban online gambling in the US.
This "fact" couldn't be more wrong.
Nevada casinos have been on an overall growth curve for years and July '06 saw revenues up sharply in a typically slow month. Nevada casinos do not support banning online gaming legislation and should be given credit for successfully lobbying the Leach anti-Internet gambling bill into an early death.
I take it we're supposed to dumbly accept that internet gambling is a "particularly destructive vice breaking down society" as self-evident truth.
Exactly. They had to specifically add an exception for securities trading in the bill, otherwise ETrade would be illegal.
You're comparing investing in the stockmarket etc to taking your money to a casino?
You're joking right?
Casinos are a business built and dependent on odds DESIGNED to take your money from you. TO MAKE YOU A LOSER.
Stockmarkets and investment firms are the part of a free capitilist system that gives everybody an equal chance to get in on betting on future profits.
You are free to support online gambling if you like but, spare us the unbalanced and distorted comparisons.
this has a very negligible effect on online poker. every site I play at except one (PartyPoker) has made it clear that for US players it's "business as usual".
even though this is a bipartisan bill - payback to the Indian casino lobbying money, most of the blame among poker players is landing on the Republicans. it could hurt them in November.
Only when it get out of hand.
By the way, like drug abuse, gambling has been found to most adversly effect the poor and lower class more so than the rest of society.
So the people who can afford it the least are hurt the most.
Do you think it's out of hand, and that it's the federal government's job to protect us from ourselves?
They are less likely to be able to employ the resources needed to defend themselves against the State then those in upper income brackets...that's all.
I hear the Democraps are banning it because they can't tax it and they're pissed!
Actually, for the most part, online Casinos have been begging to be reglulated and taxed.
They are less likely to be able to employ the resources needed to defend themselves against the State then those in upper income brackets...that's all.
Did the state make them blow their meager incomes in a casino?
OK. Whatever you say. Thank you for the response.
It's called "Choice".
Using the State to stifle Choice in matters of adults and their relationship with vice destroys the very concept of morality...
Albert J. Nock argues in his essay, "On Doing the Right Thing," that the moral development of the individual is stunted every time the State extends its activity into new areas because the area available for the unhindered and free exercise of the human moral faculties is thus reduced.
In fact, he argues, in moral philosophy there is a fundamental assumption that individuals are responsible for their actions. It makes no sense to say that an individual should or should not do something on moral grounds (e.g. place a bet on a football game) if that individual cannot freely choose between different courses of action (if betting is illegal). Nock argues that literally there can be no such thing as morality unless one has the freedom to choose between alternatives, without external sources of coercion.
All of those poker games that I played (while I play) with friends while watching football were (are) illegal?
The Law is often an ass.
Of course it is all about tax revenue after all, which makes anybody who votes for a professional politician the real ass.
When you really think about it.
With all due respect, that's absurd and the man you quote is a moron.
The Bible tells us that God Himself gives govt the authority to enforce moral codes.
Probably because if left to the individual it would lead to anarchy and the disintegration of society.
There you have it folks.
I'm religious, I'm rightwing, but this is an outrageously stupid decision.
What drives me nuts is that because of this, that subsection gets painted as all of the religous right. Truth be told they don't have much of a following, they are just really loud.
I think we should administer a country wide IQ test and pass laws to protect all the stupid people from themselves.
Looks like onlisne poker is far from dead only it won't be offshore now. It will come out of websites of Casino Tribes and casinos in Las Vegas and Atlantic City
Yes. In every single game but one. Poker. There is no house edge in poker. For you do not play against the house. You play against the other players. The house makes its money with the rake in cash games and with a small fee attached to the tournament buy in for tournaments.
Guess you think that unless the govt makes every person become a born again Christian it should not have the authority to enforce moral laws against murder, stealing etc?
I don't play at PartyPoker, but the two sites I do play at have locked me out of real money play. So it isn't just party poker.
You mean like state lotteries?
The government doesn't mind when those who can afford it least go broke when the money they gamble goes to the government.
This WILL cost Republicans everywhere votes they can't afford. I play both online and brick-and-mortar, and as you say this is being laid, universally, at Republican's feet.
A LOT of folks who say they don't usually vote are vowing to vote this time, on this one issue. The poker radio shows are full of it, the talk around live tables is full of it...
This was a gift by Frist to the evangelicals to boost his Presidential bid, and could cost House seats where they are close.

The city of Green River is busy with spring activities and gearing up for the tourist season. Mayor Glen Johnson said, "They are building a new Holiday Inn adjacent to the John Wesley Powell River Museum. When this motel is finished it will give Green River 660 motel rooms. We have approximately a 60 percent occupancy rate year round.
"The Utah Department of Transportation plans on closing our bridge in October for needed repairs. The businesses in town wanted the work to be done after the peak tourist season. It will close soon after Melon Days and will be ready for light traffic by Thanksgiving.
"We are planning a ribbon cutting ceremony soon for our new water treatment plant which was recently completed. It has just been put into production and we are excited about it. Our $2 million sewer project is basically complete as well. The sewer ponds have air pumped into them now and the smell has improved dramatically.
"The water situation for Green River City is OK. We take 100 percent of our water from the Green River. Green River City is fortunate to have first water rights, prior water rights for the Green River.
"Our watermelon growers are ready to plant. Some of them raise the plants themselves and some get them from nurseries. They put the plant in the ground and cover it with a hot cap for a week or so. Then they tear a hole in the top of the hot cap and when the plant begins to poke through they remove the cap entirely. This process gives the growers a two-three week head start on the growing season.
"The Green River Annexation issue is now before the Utah Supreme Court to decide. Our city attorney Gerald Kinghorn and Dave Blackwell, county attorney argued the case. Emery County was well represented that day. The commissioners were all there and the sheriff and some of his deputies. The only people from Grand County that showed up was one person from their city council and their lawyer.
"I was proud of Emery County and their show of support for this issue. It was quite a process. I had never been to a supreme court proceeding before, I was pretty impressed. They said they can take up to a year to decide the case, but our attorney thinks we could hear from them at any time. He said he has a good feeling about this which of course doesn't mean anything. We'd like to see this issue resolved," said Mayor Johnson.

It was this time a year ago that I had my first article printed in the Emery County Progress. It was titled "A Turkey Story." Well, guess what! It is that time of year again. Thanksgiving and contrary to what you might believe, this is another true story!
It happened this time last year and I thought it might give you a chuckle. You know how I am about cooking turkey. If you happened to read my article last year you know that turkeys and I just don't seem to get a along . Well, my friend and I decided to have Thanksgiving dinner together again last year and she said she would cook a turkey breast this time. I tried to talk her out of it because I already had a turkey roast in my freezer that I had been saving for Thanksgiving dinner. She insisted, so who am I to talk anybody out of cooking the turkey.
No sooner had I agreed to let her take this great event off of my hands when a group of well meaning people stopped at my house with another turkey roast for my freezer. This just isn't any old turkey roast pressed together, this is a full, deboned, turkey, all ready to be roasted. I couldn't turn it down so I say, "thank you" and make room for it in my freezer.
I figure I can cook this for Christmas when the children come visiting and we will make it special by marinating it in something special. We usually do not cook turkey for Christmas when we have just had it for Thanksgiving.
Now my freezer is getting a little full with two turkey roasts crammed in it, when low and behold, a few days later another group of well meaning church members drop by my house to present me with , you guessed it, another , wonderful, turkey roast that they are sure I can use for Thanksgiving.
By this time I am absolutely sure I do not need it and I thanked them very much but I declined the offer. You should have seen the looks on their faces when I told them no. I explained my dilemma and told them that I was sure they could find another family who could certainly use this wonderful offer.
We had a good laugh over it but I had visions of giving out numbers to the people lined up at my door to give me a turkey roast. I had no more room in my freezer for any more poultry and I still had another week and a half to go. I thought maybe I should put a note on the door that said, "If you have a turkey roast in your hand, don't knock."
Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it and it is also my world. Until next time, remember, for those in the YaYa sisterhood, "The nice part about living in a small town. When you don't know what you're doing, someone else always does."

I think some big things are happen when naruto uses his fox mode now thats he really going to fight,
Now that the fox won't interfear with naruto's chakra system
Naruto will not need a clone to do a rasengan with the bjuu cloak arms. Well untill he masters it at least.
And therefore once he masters a rasengan without a clone, that means he only needs one clone to do a wind rasengan.
But it deosn't stop there, THE KEY THING IN NARUTO'S growth is doing a one handed rasengan. I have always tried to emphasis the importannce of this in this thread.
Naruto is still using extra arms(chakra arms) to make a rasengan. Sooner or later he will use those arms to make a wind rasengan. And therefore naruto wouldn't need a clone AT ALL for the rasengan or a wind rasengan(in Riko mode for a wind rasengan).
I think at this point the time is right and naruto has to do it.

Film Screening: "The Worlds of Bernice Bing"
This event is expired.
Koret Auditorium
7 pm
Opening poem by Flo Oy Wong and introduction by Cynthia Tom of Asian American Women Artists Association
7:05 pm
Film screening:The Worlds of Bernice Bing (Dir: Madeleine Lim, 2013, 34 min.)
7:40 pm
Q&A with Jennifer Banta Yoshida, Lenore Chinn, and Rudy Lemcke; moderated by Mark Dean Johnson
The Worlds of Bernice Bing illuminates the life and times of Bernice Bing—artist, Chinese American, lesbian, and activist. The story of a powerful woman who used color, paintbrush, and canvas to speak from her heart, this film promises to energize and inspire viewers with the resilience of a unique American icon.
Bing came of age and gained notoriety at a time when "lesbian" was a bad word, racism was rampant, and women were expected to be housewives. As a young artist she won a scholarship to attend the California College of Arts and Crafts (now California College of the Arts), where she was a student of Richard Diebenkorn. After earning her BFA there and her MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, she emerged at the forefront of the avant-garde and thrived in the heart of the North Beach Beat scene, her large circle of friends including Joan Brown and Jay DeFeo. In addition to producing her own masterful compositions, Bing affected changes in the San Francisco art world and community arts organizations that continue to be vital today.
Ticket Information
Free tickets are available in front of the Koret Auditorium beginning at 6 pm. No advance reservations necessary. Seating begins at 6:30 pm.

Special concerns after quitting smokeless tobacco
Weight gain
It's well known that smokers often gain weight when they quit, but fewer studies have been done on people quitting smokeless tobacco. Still, findings suggest that people who quit smokeless tobacco have some risk of weight gain. Don't let this stop you!
You're more likely to succeed in quitting if you deal with quitting tobacco first, and then later take steps to lose weight. While you are quitting, try to focus on ways to help you stay healthy, rather than on your weight. Stressing about your weight may make it harder to quit. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and limit fat. Be sure to drink plenty of water, and get enough sleep and regular physical activity.
Try walking
Walking is a great way to be physically active and increase your chances of staying quit. Walking can help you by:
- Reducing stress
- Burning calories and toning muscles
- Giving you something to do instead of thinking about tobacco
A pair of comfortable shoes is all most people need for walking. And most people can do it pretty much anytime. You can use these ideas as starting points and come up with more of your own:
- Walk around a shopping mall
- Get off the bus one stop before you usually do
- Find a buddy to walk with during lunch time at work
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator
- Walk with a friend, family member, or neighbor after dinner
- Push your baby in a stroller
- Take a dog (yours or maybe a neighbor's) for a walk
Set a goal of at least 2½ hours of moderate intensity physical activity spread throughout each week. But if you don't already exercise regularly, please check with your doctor before you start. If you'd like to learn more, please see our American Cancer Society Guidelines on Nutrition and Physical Activity for Cancer Prevention.
Stress management
Tobacco users often mention stress as one of the reasons for going back to using tobacco. Stress is part of life for everyone, whether or not they use tobacco. The difference is that tobacco users have come to use nicotine to help cope with stress and unpleasant emotions. When quitting, you have to learn new ways to handle stress. This can be tough, especially during the first few days. Nicotine replacement can help for a while, but over time you will need other methods.
As mentioned before, physical activity is a good stress reducer. It can also help with the short-term sense of depression or loss that some tobacco users have when they quit. There are also stress-management classes and self-help books. Check your community newspaper, library, or bookstore.
Spiritual practices involve being part of something greater than yourself. For some, that includes things like religious practices, prayer, or church work. For others, it may involve meditation, music, being outside in nature, creative work, or volunteering to help others. Spirituality can give you a sense of purpose and help you remember why you want to stay quit.
The spiritual practices of admitting that you can't control your addiction and believing that a higher power can give you strength have been used with much success to deal with other addictions. These practices, along with the fellowship of others on a similar path, are a key part of 12-step recovery programs. These same principles can be applied to quitting tobacco.
Think about how you can deal with stress and not use tobacco. Look at the resources around you and plan on how you will handle stress when it comes your way.
Taking care of yourself
It's important for your health care provider to know if you use or have used any type of tobacco, so you can get the preventive health care you need. It's well known that using smokeless tobacco use puts you at risk for certain health-related illnesses, so part of your health care should focus on related screening and preventive measures to help you stay as healthy as possible.
For example, make sure you regularly check inside your mouth for any changes. Have your doctor or dentist look at your mouth, tongue, or throat if you have any changes or problems. The American Cancer Society recommends that medical check-ups should include looking in the mouth. This way, tobacco users may be able to learn about changes such as leukoplakia (white patches on the mouth tissues) early, and prevent oral cancer or find it at a stage that's easier to treat.
If you have any health concerns that may be related to your tobacco use, please see a health care provider as soon as possible. Taking care of yourself and getting treatment for small problems will give you the best chance for successful treatment.
The best way, though, to take care of yourself and decrease your risk for life-threatening health problems is to quit using tobacco.

BID board directors reappointed by Village Board
Menomonee Falls - Steve Sykora from Concept Technical, Dawn Mariscal of Mariscal Insurance, Bob Baer from Dan's Tog Shop, and Mark Quirk of Karate America were reappointed to the Village Centre Business Improvement District board of directors by the Village Board on Monday.
Their terms expire Dec. 31, 2015.
Board approves zone change for future development
Menomonee Falls - Following a public hearing with no residential objection, the Menomonee Falls Village Board on Monday approved rezoning land on the southeast corner of Lily and Mill roads to a planned residential development district.
The northern half of this land has been located in a single family residential district and the southern half has been located in the light industrial district since 1973.
Village staff does not believe this land will ever be developed into a quality industrial park as it is competing with the Westbrook Corporate Center, according to village documents. Therefore, the zone change was requested and approved.
Germantown renews contract with assessment firm
Germantown - The Village Board on Monday voted to renew its agreement with Accurate Appraisal for a three-year term. The Menasha-based firm has been providing property assessments on behalf of the village in recent years.
The last villagewide assessment occurred in 2008, and plans call for having the next one in 2015.
Jim Danielson, owner of the firm, said Accurate Appraisal serves 96 municipalities across the state and does not have any outstanding issues with the state Department of Revenue.
Village OKs removal of trail from condo plans
Germantown - A proposed paved trail system has been removed from plans associated with the Seven Pines condominium development, N9974 Seven Pines Way.
The development, first announced in 2003, had called for the trail system on the periphery of the property. But a combination of factors - including the demise of the original developer and the cost of the project - resulted in the proposal being removed. Seven Pines' condominium association manages the property, and most of its members favor scrapping the trail system.
Village OKs extending Patton Court
Germantown - The Village Board on Monday gave conceptual approval to a planned extension of North Patton Court.
As proposed, the extension would take place on the northern end of the roadway and create an additional three lots. Money in the village's Tax Incremental Financing District No. 4 would fund the project.
Further plans - including specific dollar amounts - will be brought back to the board at a later date.
"I personally think it's the way to go," Village Administrator David Schornack said. "It divides this area up into four really nice lots."
Russ Darrow announces Salvation Army stations
Menomonee Falls - Russ Darrow Group, headquartered in Menomonee Falls, has announced its dealerships are official donation stations for the Salvation Army 2012 holiday collection.
From now through Dec. 7, the public is invited to donate money, nonperishable food, gently used clothing and new toys for distribution to needy families at any Russ Darrow Group dealership location.
Social studies program offered to home school families
West Bend - The Washington County Historical Society has announced the 2013 social studies program for home school students ages 8 to 11.
Classes begin Jan. 8 and are offered from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. or 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday every week until May at the Old Courthouse Museum, 320 S. Fifth Ave.
Topics this year include the French fur trade, history of money and coins, happy birthday Wisconsin and the one-room school experience. Classes integrate hands-on learning with activities that meet Wisconsin State Learning Standards for grade four.
Registration is required by Dec. 7. The cost is $18 per child for all five classes or $5 per child per class.
For information and to register, visit historyisfun.com. Click on "education" and download the registration form. Contact Jessica by phone at (262) 335-4675 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com for questions.
Recreation Department receives excellence awards
Germantown - The Germantown Park & Recreation Department was awarded three Silver Star awards from the Wisconsin Park & Recreation Association at its annual conference and trade show.
Silver Stars are awarded by the Recreation Section to the best and most creative programs by category and population size. The department won awards in the following categories: Special/Community Events for The Amazing Race; Youth Programming for W-W-W-Wipeout; and Creative Service Delivery/Marketing for the promotional video.
MCW surgeon joins cancer team at Community Memorial
Menomonee Falls - Medical College of Wisconsin breast surgeon Miraj Shah-Khan has joined the Cancer Care Center team at Froedtert Health Community Memorial Hospital in Menomonee Falls.
Shah-Khan specializes in evaluating and managing benign as well as malignant breast disease. Her research interests include atypical breast lesions, lobular neoplasia and breast density.
For information about Shah-Khan or to make an appointment, call (866) 680-0505.
New physicians at Community Memorial Medical Commons
Menomonee Falls - The Community Memorial Medical Commons, a multi-specialty clinic of Froedtert Health Community Memorial Hospital and the Medical College of Wisconsin, has opened a new clinic, N7055 Northfield Drive, and added several physicians who are now seeing patients at that location.
The new Froedtert and The Medical College of Wisconsin Dermatology Clinic offers services in the diagnosis and management of adult skin diseases and conditions by MCW dermatologist Dr. Stefan Schieke and physician's assistant Laura Richter.
New physicians have also been added to clinics at CMMC. Jonathan Florczak, an MCW neurologist has joined the clinic. His practice focuses on general neurological disorders and illnesses, with a special interest in headaches.
Theodore Hubley, an MCW pulmonologist, specializes in sleep medicine, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung carcinoma and interstitial lung disease. Syed Mehdi is an MCW gastroenterologist and is seeing patients in the Gatroenterology Clinic. He specializes in colon and pancreatic cancers, irritable bowel syndrome, swallowing disorders, diverticulosis, constipation and incontinence, gallstones, hepatitis and alcoholic liver disease.
David Milia, a general surgeon, is now offering consultations at the General Surgery Clinic. He specializes in laparoscopic surgery, endoscopy, trauma and emergency surgery, and critical care medicine.
CMMC offers more than 20 medical specialties in addition to primary care and walk-in services.

By Errol Castens/NEMS Daily Journal
It's often a tactical mistake for a civilian to let bad guys know he might be armed, but for the sake of credibility, I'll take that risk.
I've held a Mississippi firearms permit since 2005, when a crack addict with a history of armed violence threatened my life and those of people close to me.
Never had I remotely considered carrying a gun: I was a "nice" person, and "nice" people didn't do that sort of thing.
But when your family's safety is at risk, nice isn't a substitute for good.
Outing myself as a pistol-packer to make a point is a personal choice; publicizing the identities of others is a different thing altogether.
A lot of folks got understandably upset this week when Supertalk Mississippi promoted the impression that the Daily Journal was about to out gun owners just as a paper in downstate New York had done.
Editor Lloyd Gray emphasizes that the Daily Journal will not publish any names, addresses or other personal information about firearms permit holders and has never intended to do so. (Read more about that in his column in Sunday's paper.)
But that still leaves this problem: Lots of folks are disturbed by the idea that there are civilians going about their daily business while armed.
Those who don't carry guns have precious little to fear from people who legally do. Reason and records prove that criminals don't need a permit to carry a gun.
People who seek permits typically have squeaky-clean records: The application process includes fingerprinting, a significant fee and submitting to an FBI background check for felonies, domestic abuse or substance abuse.
Many of us, after getting those permits, also invest in training that emphasizes self-defense law and conflict avoidance as much as tactics.
And while no group is perfect, the several million firearms permit holders in the United States commit crimes at a rate that statistically is almost insignificant – much less than most groups you can name, including off-duty police officers.
Some people seek firearms permits simply because they realize violent crime, as remote as its odds may be on a given day, doesn't usually give fair warning.
On the other hand, many permit applicants have reasons similar to mine, either having been victims of violent crime already or facing a credible threat from a specific person or group.
Some of the most desperate are women whose husbands, boyfriends or exes have threatened them and/or their children.
It's those people whose safety would be most sabotaged by giving away their name, location or armed status.
I'm convinced it won't happen here.

Skip to comments.For Many Illegal Entrants Into U.S., a Particularly Inhospitable First Stop
Posted on 05/26/2012 2:50:21 PM PDT by mdittmar
EDINBURG, Tex. For decades, the first stop for illegal immigrants making their way across the Texas border has often been a stash house or drop house, an apartment or rental home where they might spend hours or days in squalor waiting to be transported elsewhere. Often it is where they are held until their families pay the smugglers fees.But in recent months, stash houses have proliferated in border towns in the Rio Grande Valley and in cities farther north, like Houston, a trend that has been occurring in Texas but not in other states on the border.
And local, state and federal authorities in Texas say these houses are becoming increasingly overcrowded, with smugglers packing in dozens of people and treating the occupants not so much like customers but prisoners whom they starve, beat or rape.
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
It's alright, don't worry about it, the government has the issue well in hand. See, all of this is just because of our draconian immigration laws which don't permit people to just wander across the border at will. So they'll fix the situation by seeding the media with these stories, and then fix the 'problem' by making yet another amnesty attempt... After all, these are future voters, once ACORN or it's present incarnation gets done registering them.
Sneak in and wonder why you have to sneak... DUH!
This happens to illegals in Texas?
Man, that state's governor must be "heartless".
Least he could do is give 'em in-state tuition (/snix).
What do they do to you if you're illegal in Mexico?
..don't be surprised to find out tax payer funded for the last three years
...before or after the rape?
These people are being abused and taken advantage of, every step of the way. They are extorted for large sums of money with promises of easy passage and work in the land up North. A mythical place that allows for people to work and send money home while being provided food, clothing and shelter from a generous Welfare system that allows even the least motivated to grow fat from an abundance of food.
Who could blame anyone in the abject poverty and injustice that occurs in much of Mexico and Latin America from trying anything to change their lives? I do not blame them, I blame the feckless politicians who claim an inability to do the easiest thing in the World for a country to do, close their borders and control traffic along their frontiers. The control of the border and of immigration is not a meanness it is kindness. It helps and protects the citizen and immigrant.
I bought Jan Brewer's book, "Scorpions for Breakfast," but had to stop reading it. It was so graphic about what they were finding in stash houses, etc., that I couldn't stomach anymore. It was a real eye opener. If only more people knew....
This is a perfect application for aerial infrared heat detection, but the Feds would rather use it looking for grow houses because there is money to be made.
There is no money to be made finding and deporting illegals.
I could give a rip for the illegals, it's what they're doing to our country that infuriates me! As I've said before, if f**king Mexicans would put just half the energy into FIXING their f**king country that they put into DESTROYING ours then THEIRS wouldn't be a country they have to run away from!!
"I could give a rip for the illegals, its what theyre doing to our country that infuriates me! As Ive said before, if f**king Mexicans would put just half the energy into FIXING their f**king country that they put into DESTROYING ours then THEIRS wouldnt be a country they have to run away from!!"
That is the disgrace of it. Instead of Mexico reforming their own country, they are permitted to use us as a safety valve to export their poverty. Keep the able bodied males down there and let them agitate for change and reform in their own country. There is no reason Mexico should be the basket case it is being next to the richest country in the world for over a century of modern developments if not for the rampant corruption.
That would be a gross conflict of interest and show them to be "state media". But no, such a thing would not surprise me in the least.
They still do blame the USA for being the biggest illegal drug consumer on their borders. Even if we legalized all the currently-illegal drugs, I doubt it'd make the cartels go away though.
Mexico has more billionaires per capita then any other Western country. It's never been a country based on the rule of law or the respect for it. It's a kleptocracy where every Mexican steals every thing in sight and blames the United States and I'm beyond fed up.
Legalize and tax the hell out of it. Taxes put anything out of business.
Hey, your post barely caused a ripple! Where did all our "friends" go???
The New York Times is so out of touch with what goes on along the border in the southwestern US. This reporter claims these "safe" houses are a trend in Texas but not in other states along the border. These safe houses have been a problem in Phoenix, where I'm from, for years. Squalid conditions, boarded up windows, no adequate toilets or sanitary facilities, locks on all the interior doors to keep people in. Rapes, robberies, death threats, extortion. I despise the media today where reporters don't investigate and report the facts. Jan Brewer's book should have given Manny Hernandez a clue but then she's an "evil" conservative from Arizona, who stood up and challenged the NYT's sweetheart, Obama.
L/E needs to check bank accounts----ALL of them---personal and business.
The "Bank Secrecy Act" was passed to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting criminal enterprises, money laundering, tax evasion, and "other" unlawful activities.
Under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity that might be indicative of govt fraud, money laundering, embezzlement, and other financial crimes.
<><> Joint bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer of funds to pay for personal and private expenses, credit cards, real estate subsidies and vehicle purchases.
<><> To cover their tracks, fake invoices might be created to show that money deposited into accounts was being used for legitimate purposes.
The scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of monies from federal and state sources that actually covered the transfer of funds for their own use.
<><> L/E is directed to get ahold of: (1) copies of checks, (2) wire transfers to Mexico and other Third World drug havens, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including e-mail, contracts, loan agreements, and, (8) any other books or records.
<><> L/E should also explore (a) monies paid to brokers, sub-brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.
<><> L/E should scrutinize bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.
'For Many Illegal Entrants Into U.S., a Particularly Inhospitable First Stop'HUH?!? and..
This does it. Everyone at the NY Slimes is Nucking Futs.
First off they ain't "Illegal Entrants" as that would be someone who lies or cheats to get on say a game show, like Jeopardy. These people are ILLEGAL Aliens. As in: A Foreign National who isn't supposed to be in the USA but are anyway. And are here without the knowledge, approval and/or consent of the 'US Feral Gubmint'(sic).
Annnnnnd Mr Manny at the NY Slimes, it's SUPPOSED to be "Inhospitable" for them you jack-wagon! Because .... (come on ... you can get it ...no? ....okay).. THEY'RE ILLEGALS!!!! Dammit, what do expect?.. a Block Party for them with FREE: Tacos, Beer, a Pickup Truck, and a Green Card?!?!
Sheesh, I sure hope this Manny Fernandez hasn't reproduced. he's a friggen moron.
And likely an illegal too.
Sorry about missing your (((PING))). Been busy trying to study some guitar lesson 'tricks, licks and stuff' for the past three days and I can't even get time to do that. Something is always coming up. So less time for FR too.

Toyota is recalling about 209,000 of its beefy FJ Cruiser SUVs from the 2007 through 2013 model years.
The problem involves the seatbelt retractors for the front seats. In the FJ those retractors are mounted on the "half-doors" that allow rear seat access.
Toyota says that it didn't make those door panels strong enough and that "cracks may develop over an extended period of time if the rear door is repeatedly and forcefully closed."
It says that that if the panel cracks around the anchor for the lower seatbelt retractor, the retractor could come off.
The company says it has no reports of accidents or injuries and that FJ owners will be notified shortly to bring their trucks to a dealer for repairs.
More information: www.toyota.com/recall or the customer service center at 1-800-331-4331.

I don't know how it's possible, but every time around 7-8 AM GMT, it isn't possible to log in on my account at the mangatracker. This is strange as it happens every time around the same time, I've got the feeling that someone (like a hacker) or something (like a bug) is doing this behind the scenes. the frequentie is abnormal too.
Edit: And if it's almost 8 AM GMT it starts to work again.

Consistently strong growth at a sensible price
24 Feb 17
In "Alice in Wonderland", Lewis Carroll tells the story of a girl, who falls through a rabbit hole into a world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. Here, Alice crosses swords with the Queen of Hearts, meets the Cheshire Cat and is invited to the "Mad Hatters" tea party, which she subsequently discovers is "stupid".

Most major pharmaceutical companies have reported results for 2016 during the last few weeks, providing the opportunity to update our industry statistics. For an industry that requires a long investment cycle, decisions made many years ago have consequences on current financial performance. Being able to look at performance over 20 years highlights how strategic decisions have panned out.
£21m equity raise to accelerate growth
22 Feb 17
Blindly following what others do is often a recipe for disaster. However, when an army of 'super smart' fund managers snap-up a big holding in a rapidly expanding small-cap that owns 'disruptive' technology addressing multi-$billion markets, then it is usually worth taking note. This is exactly what has happened at Kromek, a next generation radiation detection firm. Having just successfully completed its oversubscribed £20m placing and £1m open offer at 20p/share - supported by esteemed investors such as Gervais Williams at Miton (largest shareholder at 19.0%) and Katie Potts (Herald 5.35%), as well as several others such as Schroders (5.0%) and Killik (4.1%).
Interim results – adhering to international growth strategy
23 Feb 17
Interim results showed a strong performance for Tristel, 6% ahead of its AGM statement on 12 December at which it indicated adjusted pre-tax profits to be no less than £1.6m. Revenues increased by 22% (16% at constant exchange rates – CER or 12% CER excluding the impact of the Australian acquisition) and adjusted pre-tax profits were up 15% to £1.71m. Despite the strong half, we leave our full-year forecasts unchanged, given FX uncertainty and a one-off stocking order in H1 from the NHS, although at current FX rates the risk to our forecasts is considered to be to the upside. However, we raise our target price by 10% to 165p to reflect the solid progress as well as rolling forward our multiples to calendar-adjusted 2017.
N+1 Singer - Anpario - Feed for growth
24 Feb 17
Anpario's natural animal feed additive product offering is well placed to benefit from the increasing demand for animal protein and tightening regulations around antibiotic use as growth promoters. The group is in a transition phase, building strong commercial relationships with end users, which we believe should benefit the margin. Anpario's geographical diversity is a key positive and with a strong balance sheet there is potential for acquisitive as well as organic growth. We initiate coverage with a 354p Target Price and a Buy recommendation ahead of FY results on 8th March.

Art teacher Jackie Sabourin talks to Girl Scouts about her desire for art in every classroom
Local Girl Scouts - Troop 4181 contributed to the Mountain Lake PBS MAKERS video project to help them learn video skills and to make them aware of successful North Country women. We're very proud of their efforts as well as the valuable information they gained from Mountain Lake PBS MAKER Jackie Sabourin.
Jackie Sabourin - A Short Biography
Jackie Sabourin is now an arts' volunteer and studio potter. Jackie was employed teaching high school art classes in the Peru Central School district, full time for over 15 years. Since 1975, (both previous to her full time employment and again since retiring in 1998), she served as a substitute art teacher and has been a member of the NYSATA (New York State Art Teachers Association) for 40+ years. She also values the opportunities that Peru Central School afforded her, chiefly, to be able to look forward to each day of teaching as a joyful experience. In addition to family and friends, the school community enriched her life beyond her wildest imaginative dreams.
Jackie believes that maintaining the arts for everyone, from an early age through adulthood, strengthens everyone's lives and that belief fuels her volunteerism. She feels that the need to introduce people to the arts - both as art appreciators and art makers - does not end after retirement. She focuses on clay as her main medium knowing the importance manipulative creation by humanity (of any age!) is. This focus helps to awaken fundamental images to make them into a lifetime product for all. Jackie continues to study the art and craft of clay, and attends conventions and workshops. Her love of learning from a good teacher is fundamental to her.
She has been active in the local arts community volunteering in schools and community centers, at the North Country Potter's Guild, and at local libraries. She also volunteered with the senior center's art galleries by curating and managing exhibits, as well as mentoring former students in their artistic quests, and facilitating for after-school arts programs. Jackie continues to network with present art teachers, especially those from Peru Central School. She assists them by linking their students with community opportunities, as she once did for Peru's National Art Honor Society.
Jackie characterizes her teaching career as a time that gave her much happiness. She truly values being with students of any age, helping them to find their creative qualities each day, and knowing that what they learned from her will be with them forever, hopefully resurfacing in future art over the years. Continued visits from former students who are still creating their own artwork, affirms that belief to her.
MAKERS.com is a dynamic digital platform produced by filmmakers Dyllan McGee, Betsy West, and Peter Kunhardt, developed by AOL, showcasing hundreds of compelling stories from women of today and tomorrow. This historic video initiative features exclusive access to trailblazing women -- both known and unknown.
The Mountain Lake PBS MAKERS initiative was made possible by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).

The title of this post is kind of misleading. When people talk about sustainability, they are usually referring to the well being of our natural surroundings. These resources are limited, so a responsibility regarding consumption is critical.
But, what if we're talking about a different resource altogether, specifically the unlimited supply of online information / design inspiration. Is there still a need to be responsible? Can you still consume too much? Well, there is only so many hours in a day. If you spend most your time consuming, you'll never have enough time to create. Plus, I think it's near impossible to do both at the same time.
We all know creating something unique takes time and a lot of effort. So, if you spend all your time consuming, all you'll have at the end of the day is other people's ideas. It's very easy to "bite off" more then you can chew, there's amazing work out there, but you'll wear yourself out. Believe me.
So, the question is not whether you'll deplete our open sourced collection of online knowledge. It's, will you actually leave enough time in the day to sustain yourself as a designer?
(This post was written more for me, my Google Reader is out of control. It's nuts! I'm committed to filtering it down… way down.)
