Wanted to love, but...
"I normally wear a size 9 but ordered these in a 9 1/2 as I usually have to in a closed toe heel because my feet are on the wide side, the fit seemed slightly short for going a half size up, no extra room AND there was too much toe cleavage - maybe it's my long toes, I don't mind a little but it's not so attractive in a high heel. Other than that I have to say that they actually seemed pretty comfortable with a little bit of padding on the inside and also fairly bendable. And I really loved the color and sheen - not too shiny, and the feel of the leather is also soft. Unfortunate to have to send them back."

Not what I expected...
"These shoes are beautiful and the perfect color and I'm sure there is a woman out there who can put comfort aside for beauty but I am not one of them! These shoes didn't give at all, which I'm finding is true for most faux leather shoes. I sent them back with a heavy heart and will continue to look for the perfect beige, leather pump!"

Just Not Right
"I'm just not a fan of toe cleavage. Didn't fit right. Color was wrong. Needed these to go to a wedding. Space in the back of the heel. Pumps just have to fit perfectly and these were not it."

I've been struggling to get a patient's insurance company to give consent for a panniculectomy. I have not been successful. I have appealed the initial reject. It was rejected a second time. There reasoning:
Upon reviewing the submitted information, I have determined that at this time "Excision, excessive skin and subcutaneous tissue; abdomen, infraumbilical panniculectomy" is not a covered benefit under the benefit plan. This determination is based upon the following plan language, found on pages (s) 74 and 125 of the member's Certificate of Coverage or Summary Plan Description:
"Excluded ..... Cosmetic procedures, including cosmetic surgery expenses, supplies, appliances and drugs, except for reconstructive surgery to repair accidental injury
Cosmetic Procedures -- services are considered Cosmetic Procedures when they improve appearance without making an organ or body part work better. The fact that a person may suffer psychological consequences from the impairment does not classify surgery and other procedures done to relieve such consequences as a reconstructive procedure."
I thought I had made it clear, both times, that this proposed panniculectomy was to be done at the request of the patient's dermatologist as the patient's chronic skin rashes/infection in the lower abdominal skin roll could not be treated adequately with conservative methods. How is the treatment of the patient's skin infection/hygiene issues cosmetic?
It seems to me that this patient's insurance company is failing him. This seems to be a recurring theme in recent weeks in the blog world. Check out the recent post and comment section by TBTAM -- In Case You Were Wondering If Health Care is Broken.
Also check out When an MD says Yes and Insurance says NO by Healthcare Today, September 9, 2008
If a credentialed provider determines a specific course of action is reasonable for medical therapy it is amazing that insurance companies can countermand that judgment. Providers may be working as patient advocates, but clearly insurance companies are looking out for their own selfish bottom line. Not a new revelation as most of us would agree.

Use in replacement of sugar. Bake with it all the time. My children cannot tell the difference.
Small bottle but...
Posted by Sweetx-Shorty on Oct 22, 2013
Since only 2 tablespoon is needed to have the sweetness equilivant of a cup of sugar, a little goes a long way! That being said, i personally find this to not be able to compare (in sweetness) with NOW's no carb stevia blend. This provides fiber but makes the sweetener very hard to dissolve..
Stevia Plus
Posted by Reviewer2655677 on Oct 18, 2007
I like Stevia Plus because it dissolves better than stevia powder. It's great for those of us that can't use sugar or artificial sweeteners. Your price is the best I have found and your service prompt and efficient.
Great way to sweeten foods without the calories or insulin spike.
Posted by Reviewer1105248 on Feb 17, 2008
This is a great product to use in place of sugar. I use it in teas, oat panckaes & even found a way to make sugar-free gelatin (similar to Jell-o) with it. I highly recommend this product.
Use in replacement of sugar. Bake with it all the time. My children cannot tell the difference.
Great tasting.
Posted by Reviewer1915264 on Jan 03, 2008
This stevia is a long way from the bitter tasting stuff I used to try. Very impressed.
Wisdom Natural, SweetLeaf, Stevia Plus powder
Posted by Reviewer1814777 on Feb 07, 2008
We have been using this product for many years and have found it an excellent replacement for sugar in our recipes. We are both diebetic.
Best Tasting Stevia Product
Posted by Reviewer2489652 on Nov 24, 2007
There are a variety of Stevia brands on the market, but Wisdom definitely has the market cornered on taste. For my money, this is the only brand that I'll purchase. It is an excellent product!
Good Product...Great Price
Posted by Reviewer2505661 on Oct 02, 2009
I am diabetic, so cannnot have a lot of raw sugar and would rather not put a lot of chemicals in my body, so looked for a natural sweetner. Yes it is more expensive then sugar, but it tastes great and iHerb has it for a great price. If your looking for a suger substitute, I high recommend.
4oz size sweetleaf
Posted by Reviewer3271735 on Oct 30, 2007
Easier to use in the shaker style container, especially if you use it everyday. It's a bit less expensive then the packets. Wisdom Naturals is the best Stevia I believe, because it has no additives or fillers.
Best tasting
Posted by Reviewer1264280 on Apr 04, 2009
Out off all the different brands of Stevia I've tried, this is the only one that I like. I don't use a lot of it, but I do use it as my sweetener. I enjoy it in iced tea where I use 1 tablespoon per gallon of tea.

Taking Bikes on BART Trains
Please observe all bike rules if you plan on taking a bike on a train. Although bikes are allowed on all trains at all times, there are some important exceptions:
- Bikes are never allowed on crowded cars (there must be enough room to comfortably accommodate you and your bicycle)
- Bikes are never allowed on the first car of any train
- Bikes are not allowed in the first three cars during commute hours (7:00 to 9:00 AM and 4:30 to 6:30 PM)
Bikes are not allowed on escalators. Bicyclists must yield to other passengers and not block aisles or doors. If you are taking your bike on BART, it's your responsibility to know and follow all bike rules--please read them.
Bikes at BART Basics
More BART riders are biking to and from stations every day. It's a healthy alternative and like walking it's easy on the environment. Almost all BART stations have bike racks, most BART stations have bike lockers and four BART stations now have Bike Stations. Details are included below and on each station page on bart.gov.
If you are leaving your bike at a BART station make sure it is locked well. Whether you're taking your bike on board or parking it at a station, make sure you record your bike's serial number along with a description of the bike. This will greatly increase your chance of recovery if it is stolen. Also check out the San Francisco Bike Coaltion's excellent video on how to lock your bike properly.
Bike Theft Prevention Outreach
BART and Bike East Bay (formerly the East Bay Bike Coalition) are teaming up to bring bike theft prevention tips to BART riders. Bike theft is an ongoing problem, but with the right equipment and knowledge cyclists can reduce their chance of having a bicycle stolen.
From now through the summer of 2015, representatives from Bike East Bay will be at BART stations throughout the system during the evening commute, talking to riders about bicycle security and handing out free theft prevention materials.
The program will provide cyclists and potential cyclists with:
- Discounts on sturdy U-locks
- BikeLink starter cards (to get individuals started using BART bike lockers and Bike Stations)
- Assistance with bike registration
Bike Lockers
Two types of lockers are available to store bicycles, mopeds or wheelchairs: keyed lockers and electronic lockers.
Keyed lockers are for single-use and require a rental agreement. Note that some stations have wait lists. Please contact (510) 464-7133 for locker availability. Download the application/rental agreement (.pdf).
Electronic lockers are for shared use and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. To use an electronic locker at any BART statiion you'll need a BikeLink Card. Additional information on how to use the lockers can be found at bikelink.org. Electronic lockers are located at the following stations:
•12th Street Oakland: 12
•El Cerrito Plaza: 96
•Pittsburg/Bay Point: 12
•19th Street Oakland: 8
•Fremont: 76

The electronic bicycle lockers provide on-demand bike parking. Purchase a smart card online or at a convenient vendor location. Ride up to an available locker and insert your smart card into the card slot. Follow on-screen directions to put time on the meter. The cost, 3 to 5 cents an hour depending on occupancy levels at the station, is automatically deducted from your smart card. Park your bike inside, close the door, and your bike remains secure. When you return to retrieve your bike, just insert your smart card into the slot to open the door. Unused time and value are automatically refunded back to the card.

Abandoned Bicycles—Removal Policy
The intent of the abandoned bike removal policy is to ensure that parking areas remain available for the parking of bicycles that are being actively used by BART riders. Bicycles which appear to be abandoned on BART property as evidenced by signs of disuse or neglect will be impounded.
A bicycle can appear abandoned for the following types of reasons:
- Non-working condition as evidenced by uninflated tires, bent wheels, broken frame, chain off or missing essential parts
- Bicycle covered with dust, rust, cobwebs, etc.
- Bicycle observed as unused over prolonged period
When a bicycle appears to be abandoned, a 72 hour notice will be placed on the bicycle. If the bicycle is not removed within 72 hours, it will be impounded.
Impounded bikes will be stored for only 90 days. If you believe your bike has been impounded contact BART Lost and Found (510 464-7090 or http://www.bart.gov/lostandfound) with the serial number, registration, receipt, photograph or detailed description of the bike.
2012 BART Bicycle Plan
The BART Bicycle Plan and Appendices and Model (or Investment Tool) outline specific strategies to implement over the next ten years to make it easier to use a bicycle to get to and from BART. The plan's goal is to double the percentage of passengers who access BART by bicycle from approximately 4% to 8% by 2022. The strategies within the plan are organized into five areas: cyclist circulation, plentiful parking, beyond BART boundaries, bikes on BART and persuasive programs. The plan also includes a model that can be used to predict the benefit of different types of bike access improvements.
Bike Parking Capital Plan
The BART 2015 Bike Parking Capital Plan details expansion plans for secure bike parking at BART stations. The program contains plans for 2,500 additional secure parking spaces at 31 stations. The projects are in various stages of development from funded and under construction to purely conceptual.
Questions about the plans can be directed to Steve Beroldo, email@example.com.
Caltrans Peak Period Bike Shuttle
During peak periods as an alternative to bringing your bike on BART, Caltrans operates a bike shuttle between MacArthur BART and downtown San Francisco (corner of Folsom and Main Street). For the schedule and additional information visit: http://www.dot.ca.gov/dist4/shuttle.htm
Scooters and Mopeds
The District does not permit scooters or mopeds on BART trains. The California Vehicle Code (under section 21113) prohibits the circulation of all vehicles on rapid transit district grounds, except where the District has given permission. Electric scooters and mopeds are classified as vehicles, not bicycles. Under Vehicle Code section 670, a "vehicle" is "any device by which any person or property may be propelled, moved, or drawn on a highway, excepting a device moved by human power."
Individuals bringing a scooter or moped on a BART train may be cited for an infraction, as violating section 21113 of the Vehicle Code.

Take Balmain??™s Christophe Decarnin, whose trademark peaked jackets and fiercely sexy minidresses have catapulted him and the French label to new heights, with its show today one of the hottest of the week.
Now, the privately held company is working behind the scenes to bring the business in line with the buzz around the name ??" what some have even dubbed ???Balmania.???
Next month, Balmain??™s two-story flagship on the Rue Fran?§ois 1er will be shuttered for two months for a top-to-bottom renovation. And chairman and chief executive Alain Hivelin is reviewing the Paris house??™s network of licenses, guiding certain partners in line with Decarnin??™s rock ??™n??™ roll aesthetic, and phasing out those who don??™t cut the mustard.
The brand signed a women??™s footwear license with Giuseppe Zanotti, effective since the spring 2009 season, which grew out of a runway collaboration stretching back to Decarnin??™s first show in 2006. A men??™s shoe line could be added soon. New for next season is a capsule eyewear collection developed with Oliver Peoples.
In total, Balmain has around 20 licenses in Asia and the Middle East, including scarves, small leather goods, ties and men??™s tailoring. In an interview, Hivelin, who became the house??™s main shareholder in July 2005, declined to give sales figures, but said Balmain has been profitable since 2005 and logged total annual sales growth of around 60 percent the last three years.

The Levi Strauss & Co.-owned brand, whose classic chinos debuted in 1986 and became the unofficial pant of casual Fridays in the Nineties, is betting the renewed focus on its heritage business will not only stanch slumping sales but also redefine how male consumers wear and think about khakis.
???The brand is going back to focusing on what we do best: khaki pants for men,??? said Jim Calhoun, president of Dockers. ???Our global team is working hard to make men love their khakis again. The task is big. We??™ve got to turn around a declining category ??" but as the leader, we??™re the only brand for the job.???
Dockers continues to be the top selling casual pants brand in the U.S. but receipts have slumped in recent years. Levi Strauss does not break out sales for the brand, but noted in company documents that its performance has been ???disappointing??? in recent years. Dockers products, which include men??™s and women??™s bottoms, tops and a range of licensed categories, accounted for 21 percent of Levi Strauss net sales in 2006 and only 18 percent of total net sales, or about $792 million, in 2008.

THE ENGLISH ARE COMING: ???It was Worth, an Englishman, who created couture in France,???Pierre Berg?© declared Tuesday night in Paris, as he presented an award as president of France??™s National Association for the Development of the Fashion Arts to Giles Deacon, the second British designer in a row to win the accolade. Thanks to a grant of 160,000 euros, or $233,470 at current exchange, Deacon is staging his spring fashion show in Paris on Oct. 8. ???It??™s a huge honor for me,??? said Deacon. ???Hopefully it??™s going to be a great season.??? Fellow Brit Gareth Pugh won the accolade in 2008. Jeremy Scott was among the guests at the 20th-anniversary award ceremony, before flying back to Los Angeles to work on his new Adidas collection. Scott said he has also designed a special edition bag for French luxury goods company Longchamp to celebrate the association??™s anniversary.
LIVE WIRE: Louis Vuitton is courting its online fans and giving them a virtual front-row seat at its next fashion show. The French luxury house said it would stream its women??™s ready-to-wear show on its Facebook page on Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. CEST. Viewers will be able to comment on the show as it happens. Following the event, footage of the show will be available on demand for 24 hours. Vuitton, which created its Facebook account in July, claims to have been the first luxury brand to take to tweeting.
BLUE CLUES: Jeans on the Hussein Chalayan runway? What a concept. The London-based designer plans to carry on with his collaboration with J Brand for a second season and present styles on the runway at his show on Sunday. The expanded collection for spring includes stretch capri leggings, loose-fit chinos and city shorts.
WYCLEF??™s NEW SHOES: Timberland and Wyclef Jean are making music together. The apparel and footwear company partnered with the Grammy Award-winning musician and his Y?©le Haiti Foundation to inspire consumers to take action in protecting the environment. The pair collaborated on a 16-boot footwear collection for men, women and children, slated to launch in late November under the Timberland Earthkeepers line. For every pair sold, $2 will be donated to the Y?©le Haiti Foundation to support reforestation in Haiti. Jean will celebrate the collection tonight at WNYC??™s the Greene Space in New York.

IN THE HUNT: Inspiration first struck producerFenton Bailey walking past an Anthropologie store with his producing partner; the two casually remarked what a great basis it would make for a television show. The very next day, Bailey read a piece in the Philadelphia Inquirer about Keith Johnson, the globetrotting buyer at large for the stores, and he knew he had his concept.
The result was ???Man Shops Globe,??? an eight-episode series premiering on the Sundance Channel on Oct. 7, following Johnson??™s eye at flea markets and artisans in France, Turkey and South Africa, among others. At a launch party at Anthropologie??™s Rockefeller Plaza store Tuesday night, Glen Senk, chief executive officer of the retailer??™s parent, Urban Outfitters Inc., said getting there meant getting assurances the project wouldn??™t undermine the brand??™s integrity. ???We had been contacted many times,??? he said, ???but we had an instant connection with the team,??? including directorJeremy Simmons. Senk described Johnson, who is also his longtime companion, as ???shy ??" not a reality TV person. It was insightful for them to see what the show could be.???
Said Johnson, ???I??™ve been doing this for so long, it actually gave me a little bit more energy. I saw the world through Jeremy??™s eyes.???
???Man Shops Globe??? has already been picked up for another season, which begins filming shortly.

Cleveland town met for their first meeting of the year on Jan. 9. Jamie Jensen administered the oath of office to Mayor Kobi Erni, Councilmember Verla Jensen and Councilmember Michael Taylor.
A representative from Smuin Rich & Marsing reviewed the financial information for Cleveland town. He said the state auditors office no longer requires an audit for Cleveland, because they bring in less than $500,000. Jamie Jensen will have to certify the financial information. The general fund had a deficit fund balance that has been taken care of. There was a net of $17,341.75. The deficit was rectified by transferring money from the utility fund and interest earned. Cleveland needs to look at ways to increase revenue or decrease spending. It is better to make increases in small increments. There have been improvements to the Cleveland town finances and the city is in the black.
The council officially adopted Roberts Rules of Order.
The council appointed Shannon World as treasurer and deputy clerk. World can fulfill Jamie Jensen's duties when she is absent.
The council disclosed their conflicts of interest.
The council reviewed their duties. Carson Grimm will be over the LEPC and cemetery. Verla Jensen will be over planning and zoning. Mike Taylor will be over Castle Valley Special Service district. The council will hold off on assigning maintenance until a new councilmember is selected.
The town could not hang the Christmas lights this year, due to the power plug-ins not being up to code. It will cost approximately $400 per pole and a meeting is set up with Rocky Mountain Power to discuss the issue. Safety is the issue with the existing plug-ins and every city that is not in compliance with the new safety standards must comply as well.
The council will leave the PCIB list the same as it was last year. They will just change the dates to make it current.
The crossing guard wants to use the green city truck for the heater until she can get her car repaired. Jamie Jensen will check on the liabilities to the city, otherwise the council does not have a problem with her using the truck.
Shannon World will be made a notary. There is a fee of approximately $120, which the city will pay for.
The council voted to approve an increase for culinary water users outside the district for overages. The increase will be $.50 per 1,000 gallons or and increase from $1.40 to $1.90.
In council reports, Councilman Grimm reported, the lawn mower will need some repair before the summer. He will also look into reports of broken bottles at the city park.

"I'm very happy with these. I love wearing them with black leggings. They are very comfortable and they keep my feet warm and dry. I like that I can adjust the width around my calves so that I can wear them with bulkier jeans or thin leggings. I wore them through a big 3-day rain/wind storm in the Pacific Northwest and they held up perfectly while still looking just like new."

Public health officials in Springfield held a community forum last night, part of an ongoing study on the health impacts of a future casino in western Massachusetts, but some say the study is too late.
The study aims to assess negative and positive community health impacts of a casino. Frank Robinson is executive director of Partners for a Healthier Community, the lead organizer of the study, along with UMass public health researchers and Springfield's Department of health and human services. Robinson says the assessment will eventually monitor long-term casino impacts.
"We have a baseline on conditions, we make a prediction as to how improved or how challenged a community will be, and then we look, say, 5 years out. Has the community improved, or are there still problems?"
About twenty attendees were asked to choose the areas where a casino could impact public health. The top three were gambling and addiction, crime, and public safety, though more positive impacts like jobs and tourism were also included. But participants expressed disappointment a health assessment wasn't conducted sooner. Zaida Govan is a Springfield resident.
"This study's not even going to be done or completed by July 16th, when it is that we have to vote. So it would have been nice if we had done it a year ago, or two years ago so that we would know the impact of casino coming to Springfield."
The vote is on a referendum to approve or reject MGM's proposed casino for the city. Forum organizers say the study will be released sometime in November, with some preliminary findings coming out in August.

This is Lambert's earliest self-portrait, most likely to have been drawn soon after he began to study with Julian Ashton in 1894. He presented himself scrutinising his appearance, carefully analysing his facial features, placing one half of his face in shadow and the other in light.
He used sharp, pure outlines, drawing directly with the pen, using lines to convey the modelling of the figure.
Lambert's initial approach to drawing derived from Ashton. Trained as a black-and-white illustrator, Ashton encouraged hard outlining; he insisted that the contour or outline should be drawn first and that the initial lines should contain within them the germ of the finished drawing. In this drawing Lambert used heavy lines for the shading, creating a kind of pen-and-ink equivalent of the square-brush technique he used in his paintings in the 1890s.

Craig Povey from the Utah Division of Substance Abuse presented at the Four Corners Behavioral Health conference. He said hope and recovery is possible for everyone and no one is a lost cause. It's important to understand the function of the brain in an addiction situation.
Dopamine is the chemical released by the brain as a reward. The motivation to receive this reward or pleasure and euphoria is sometimes at the root of addiction.
Some people who aren't addicted wonder how people become addicted, they say well don't they love their kids; why do they do this? Povey said that when dealing with an addiction you are dealing with the same system that tells you that you are hungry or thirsty. If you go without food and water, then that becomes the most important thing to you. That's why an addict places everything else in the background, nothing else matters except that addiction. In addiction the brain craves that chemical or reaction from the drug and everything else is ignored.
"A teen brain, a developing brain is especially vulnerable. It's just like clay, it's very influenceable. It's just like wet concrete. You can step in it with a boot and you can pull the boot out, but it leaves an impression, it leaves damage behind. The longer the boot stays in the concrete the harder it is to remove. The brain is similar to that, it's easily influenced and hard to remove those influences. You can still get it out, like the boot, but it takes a lot of effort," said Povey.
In people that aren't addicted, feeling pleasure can come with exercise or a spiritual release. Those who use substances to create these feelings cause even more problems in the system they are trying to motivate.
Povey recalled a time he had an injury and he couldn't exercise. He said he turned to food at that time and received his dopamine fix through food. Food can also be an addiction when it is used as a reward. Substance abuse compromises the brains reward and cognitive systems. Damage occurs to a brain's decision making ability and increases vulnerability to other addictions.
One treatment center totally banned the use of tobacco at the facility. Other experts told them that would never work, because people recovering from an addiction couldn't have their tobacco taken away, too. But the wholistic approach worked for that center and the recovering addicts quit smoking too, as they worked their way to a more healthy lifestyle.
Povey said the earlier youth start using alcohol the more likely they are to become problem users. Nationwide 10 percent of fourth graders had admitted to using alcohol. In Utah the alcohol use is about half what it is nationwide. Utah's use is higher for prescription drugs and inhalants. A campaign is going on now in the Four Corners area for prescription drug awareness.
"Substance abuse is an equal destroyer, it affects all walks of life. Everyone is vulnerable. In my own neighborhood there have been marriages breakup and youth with addiction problems," said Povey.
Povey asked the question of how can those who are high risk and using drugs make decisions more like the people who are low risk and don't use drugs. There are perceptions in place that if more drugs are available that use will be higher. As the perception of the availability of drugs go up, use goes up. Povey encouraged people not to overstate or exaggerate the problem. The vast majority of people and kids don't use drugs. There was a perception at a school in Salt Lake that drugs were rampant. The drug dogs were brought in and the lockers searched and in a school of 1,200 students only two busts were made. Be aware of exaggerating the problem.
In the Parents Empowered program, an awareness campaign is underway warning parents that even good kids need help. Good kids need help to stay off of alcohol and drugs. Most addictions peak during the teen years. Most kids will report using drugs they got from their friends. Peer pressure is one of the greatest factors in the start of kids into drugs.
The drug awareness campaigns have taken different forms over the years. In the 80s they tried to scare the youth away from drugs, "Scared Straight," but in most cases it didn't work. Brutal, shocking meth addiction films were made, but a young lady sitting in one of Povey's classes said, 'I don't look like that,' she was a user, but wasn't in the gutter kicking and screaming. So the message was that doesn't always work. Some drug users look the same as a regular guy or gal, they aren't any different. They are your neighbors, they wait on you in a restaurant or at a store. They are just regular people. Regular people with drug problems.
There hasn't been enough research done in prevention to know what really works. The teen brain is different. The teen brain operates on an emotional level. Some of what works for prevention for adults doesn't work for teens. A simulated car crash was set up on a football field for students to observe with mock victims and injuries. The adults at the scene were very affected and some close to tears to see the mock accident and injuries. The teens who were observing said, "Oh, cool a car crash," they were laughing and not taking the whole scene very seriously.
Alcohol is damaging to a teen brain. The ages of 14-15 is a peak developmental time for the teen brain. The concrete is still wet and it's best not to throw in any contaminants. "Don't put stuff in your system you are not able to handle," said Povey.
Povey explained how different adolescent health and behavior problems share common risk factors that could include: substance abuse, violence, delinquency, school dropout, teen pregnancy, depression and anxiety. Community risk factors also come into play with the perception of the ability to obtain drugs in a community. Are common laws and norms favorable to drug use?
Family history is a factor along with any domestic violence abuse in the family. At school risk factors include academic failure and a lack of commitment to school.
Early and persistent antisocial behavior sometimes responds to early intervention for a child as young as elementary school. Teens who alienate themselves and are rebellious will often times get into drug use and this drug will start with associating with friends who use drugs. This can lead to gang involvement and a favorable attitude towards drugs.
Friends are heavy risk factors. If a teen has friends who use, chances are they will begin using at some point. Teens are at a critical time where critical decisions are made.
Social development which encourages healthy behavior is what teens need. Beliefs and standards, rules should be clear; parents should be involved in the teens life. Individual characteristics include the teens ability to develop skills and ties with the community.
Teens need opportunities, recognition, bonding, attachment and commitment, healthy beliefs and clear standards. "Extracurricular activities help protect against risk factors, " said Povey.
Povey said society faces multiple challenges in reaching those in need and providing adequate resources.
Povey said many people within the criminal justice system are addicts and they receive punishment instead of treatment. Addictions are a neuro systems malfunction just like any other disease.
"The initial decision to use drugs is a bad decision. It will change your brain and sometimes you can't just quit," said Povey.
Povey said only a very small percentage of people needing help with substance or alcohol abuse get help. Ninety-five percent of them don't think they need help and don't think they have a problem.
"In Emery County right now there are only 20 people receiving services. "The longer things go untreated, the higher the costs," said Povey.
Povey said one thing family members need to realize when someone goes into treatment is they will have three or four failure episodes before they recover.
More focus needs to be placed on aftercare for when someone comes out of treatment especially a residential treatment center.
More support and improved services need to be offered for this vulnerable period.
"Recovery is not a simple 30 day inpatient program or a trip to a monthly clinic. It is a long term coordinated effort on the part of the individual and the community. It's not an in and out process," said Povey.

Does The Presidents' Trophy Matter?
Jonathan Willis
April 23 2012 10:44AM
For two years in a row, the Vancouver Canucks have been the best regular season team in the NHL. Also for two seasons in a row, the Vancouver Canucks have not been the best post-season team in the NHL.
Given the latter, does the former matter?
On one level, no it doesn't. Kids don't grow up dreaming of one day running over one of the league's worst teams in the 82nd game of the season to clinch first overall in the regular season. Nobody gets their names memorialized for all eternity on hockey's chalice by virtue of picking up a few more shootout rather than regulation losses than a team in another conference. People remember playoff champions, not regular season winners.
On the other hand, when it comes to building a professional hockey team, or assessing the wreckage of a first round exit, it's important to have a balanced view. That balanced view requires balancing the successes of an 82-game season with the failings of a five-game playoff series.
The Canucks are not a perfect team. The NHL salary cap, as well as human nature, prohibit perfect teams. Even if they didn't, the first round loss to Los Angeles would have made it painfully clear that there are weaknesses in Vancouver. The loss of Daniel Sedin early in the series was difficult to overcome, as the Kesler line went quiet and the depth wingers failed to rise to the challenge. Specific problems on the back end – including gaffes by cornerstone defensemen like Alex Edler and Dan Hamhuis – are worth discussing. The inability of Vancouver's bottom two lines to make a positive impact on the series will surely be visited time and again in the off-season.
Along with the legitimate complaints will come less legitimate ones. Roberto Luongo has at least his share of detractors, and Cory Schneider had a better series. The criticism of the former started almost as soon as the series did. The familiar suggestion that the playoffs are no place for the Sedin twins will also undoubtedly show itself, despite the fact that Henrik was the team's best skater and that Daniel came back from injury and found a way to make an instant impact.
But, once again, all that fallout needs to be considered in balance with the big picture. Those back-to-back Presidents' Trophies make it clear that the Canucks are an excellent hockey club. While the tendency will be to focus on weakness, they can't lose sight of their strengths either. They'll almost certainly move a goaltender. Likely, they'll also attempt to add a little more scoring depth – it was telling that in seven combined games the Sedin twins picked up seven points, while in 53 combined games the rest of the forwards picked up just nine.
There will be a shakeup. But in the end, the Canucks should enter next season with much the same core, the core that has made them the NHL's best regular season team the last two years and the second-best playoff team just one year ago. The core of that team is still in the 26-to-31 age range. There's still time and there's a strong group to build from.
There's no excuse for complacency, but there's no excuse for overreaction either. A balanced approach to off-season changes is the order of the day, and the planning likely starts now for Mike Gillis.
April 23 2012, 10:56AM
It is a shame that a Hooligan can make such a difference to a team. No banter at this time.
April 23 2012, 11:25AM
Taking all bets: The Oilers will win the Cup before the Canucks....Canucks are dead in the water now..they couldn't catch the bouquet...bridesmaids for ever.
Cody Hodgson would've been a hell of a lot more useful than Zach Kassian in the post-season. If I'm not very much mistaken, was'nt Kassian a healthy scrath for game 5?
From a pure business standpoint, having a team that year-in and year-out can compete for the President's trophy is a good strategy. At the end of the day, there will only be one Stanley Cup winner each season. Granted, there will be only one President's trophy winner as well, but in any given year, a well managed team can win the President's trophy. That is not always the case with the Stanley Cup (fewer games to win the Stanley Cup, more random chances based on factors outside a team's control).
If a team is one of the four or five elite that consistently compete for the President's trophy, filling a stadium should pose little difficulty. Carolina and Anaheim are two perfect examples of how winning a one-off Stanley Cup without being a consistent elite team does not translate into box office success.
April 23 2012, 04:18PM
I'm really not trying to troll here but my problem with the president's trophy fundamentally is that it seems to skew the perception of the team that wins it as being the best of the best without examining the fact that certain ELITE teams (which Vancouver is) are rewarded with this trophy simply because they play in weaker devisions.
To me Vancouver SHOULD win the president's trophy by virtue of the strength of their own schedule. The Canucks got to play CGY, COL, EDM, MIN 6 times each this year. None of those teams was a playoff calibre team while Vancouver is clearly a top 5 club. By contrast look at the Central and Atlantic Divisions. In both cases the two division winners were in the hunt for the president's trophy right down to game #82 and the quality of competition in both divisions is VASTLY superior.
This is why I see the president's trophy as a nice accomplishment that really doesn't mean much at all. It's a footnote to an NHL season. Only one trophy matters at the end of the day. I said the same thing about Detroit when they were playing the likes of NSH, CHI, STL, and CBJ 8x/year a few years ago.
Vancouver is/was/will be an Elite team for a number of years to come. They will also probably compete for the president's trophy next year. That playoff positioning is an asset going into the playoffs but I don't expect many guys on the Canucks saying 'Well, at least we won the president's trophy.'
anyways, that's my take...
April 28 2012, 02:03PM
based on the Canuck's winning percentage against the NW & the Central this year, if the Canucks played in the Central (inarguably the best division in the league this past year), they would have had a 110 point season instead of a 111 point season playing in the NW 9the 3rd worst division after the SE & NW).

Hundreds of thousands line up to say goodbye to JoePa
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - Hundreds of his former players and legions of his adoring fans lined up at Penn State Tuesday to honor legendary football coach Joe Paterno.
Current and former players turned out for a private viewing at the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center early in the day with the viewing lasting until late into the evening.
Another viewing will be held Wednesday morning and Paterno will be laid to rest in the afternoon.
A public memorial service will be held on Thursday at the Bryce Jordan Center.
Tuesday Paterno's family spoke out publicly for the first time since his death on Sunday.
Jay Paterno said his father never felt sorry for himself or bitter even in his final days.
The viewing wrapped up around 11 p.m. but people were still coming to Pateno's statue outside Beaver stadium, surrounded by candles and flowers.
Dozens of people said JoePa was a man that has touched the lives of so many people.
"Joe's been a big part of our lives for a long time. We are a multi-generation Penn State family," said Jeannie Kollar-Harvey.
Penn State students past and present are paying their respects, visiting the Joe Paterno statue outside Beaver Stadium and waiting in a line that stretched for what seemed like a mile outside the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center.
"Just looking at all the flowers and all the support the students gave him it's just heartbreaking," said Michael Rehrer.
Joe Paterno is the winningest coach in major college football.
One man, who has been a season ticket holder for more than 30 years, wears the words Joe Paterno around his finger.
"Joe Paterno is and always will be Penn State football," said Dave Sage.
Among the thousands paying their respects was Mike McQueary, a man linked to Paterno's departure in November after sex abuse accusations surfaced surrounding former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.
But these Penn State fans say now is a time to remember Paterno for the man he was and who helped shape this university.
"I feel horrible it had to be this way at the end and I hope that he knows and the family knows how much we love them and support them and feel they're still apart of us," said Kollar-Harvey.
Paterno's family will be remembering the iconic coach during a private funeral Wednesday afternoon.
The public will get another chance to say goodbye Wednesday morning and then again on Thursday.

So jealous :) and glad that you weren't near Christchurch during the quake! Our youngest son (23) did a study abroad in Christchurch -- gone 6 months -- 3 years ago. Then went to work on the North Island (Thoroughbred farm) last July and returned 3 days after the quake. He had left his job and was touring again on the South Island and was right in the CBD in Christchurch when it hit. Sprinting to get away from collapsing buildings. We are so thankful he made it out w/o injury. Your trip sounds amazing and we are SO in love with kiwis (of all kinds) around here!

VAJONT, Italy -- Lithuanian rider Ramunas Navardauskas won the 11th stage of the Giro d'Italia with a solo breakaway Wednesday while Vincenzo Nibali held on to the overall lead.
Navardauskas, who rides for the Garmin-Sharp squad, clocked 4 hours, 23 minutes, 14 seconds over the 182-kilometre (113-mile) leg from Tarvisio to Vajont, which featured two category-2 climbs, including an uphill finish.
Italians Daniel Oss and Stefano Pirazzi finished second and third, respectively. Oss crossed 1 minute, 8 seconds behind and Pirazzi was 2:59 back.
Nibali, an Italian with Astana, maintained a 41-second lead over 2011 Tour de France winner Cadel Evans, as the top of the overall standings remained unchanged.
The stage was held in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of the Vajont dam disaster, which killed nearly 2,000 people and devastated the area on Oct. 9, 1963.
Meanwhile, the race's first doping case came as the UCI notified French rider Sylvain Georges that he tested positive for a banned stimulant.
Stage 12 Thursday is a 134-kilometre (83-mile) leg from Longarone to Treviso that starts with a few hills before a long, flat finish.

"I have always loved NB because they are the most comfortable shoes on the market, unlike the Nike shoe. They are everlasting and are true to size. I can walk all day in these without my feet feeling tired or hurting. They are very light weight and roomy. I highly recommend."

You get what you pay for...
"A shoe that looks like it cost $40 and like I made them in my downstairs bathroom with a spool of fake patent leather and a hot glue gun. When I put them on, they were far enough from the eye to overlook the ripples in the "patent leather" and the dried glue on the back of the heel. They are cute in design, just poor in quality. I kept them though. They will be the shoes I wear in inclement weather or somewhere I don't mind them being stepped on..."

Qupid Halo Sandal
"These shoes are so cute. I've gotton about 10 complements on them. The do run about a half size too big. I am a solid 8 1/2, and I bought 8's which fit perfect. Their comfort level isn't the greatest but I'm attributing that to their not broke in yet. They pinch a bit on top of my toes, other than that I'm not in any pain. I do absolutely love these shoes though, and if takes another five times of wearing them to get them broke in, then that's what I'll do!"

After collecting the first deposit of sales-tax revenues from recreational marijuana last week, Pueblo County is looking for more.
The county collected more than $32,000 in revenue from two retailers who were open on Jan. 1, the first day of legal recreational marijuana sales in Colorado.
Once the state is finished with its tally and refunds a portion of its taxes back to the county, the county's income could top $55,000.
But Pueblo County Commissioner Sal Pace said Tuesday he believes there's potential for more income if the county can find ways to tax the marijuana growing operations in Pueblo.
"I think there's going to be substantially more money in the grows than the stores," Pace said.
Two stores reported nearly $1 million in total sales the first month and brisk demand thinned supplies both here and in other counties, particularly Denver.
Pace said that represents an opportunity for Pueblo County. Land and facilities for growing operations are hard to find in the metro area, but easier to find here.
Earlier in February, the commissioners approved a grow south and west of the city for Denver-based Kush Club and is considering another grow application, this one near Avondale, from a Denver medical distribution center.
Pace said he'd love to figure out a way to get another $1 million out of the grows, but he's cognizant that there eventually will be a limit to the taxes the marijuana industry can bear.
"I want to get them into a room and see what kind of tax structure they're comfortable with," Pace said.
Retailers are charged a marijuana tax of 3.5 percent from the county and a 10 percent tax from the state, in addition to traditional sales taxes of 1 percent from the county and 2.9 percent from the state.
The state also collects a 15 percent excise tax on marijuana and marijuana products sold in stores but not produced there.
That tax isn't listed on marijuana receipts, but is the source of money the state will use to fund the promised $40 million for schools that was built into the original ballot measure, Pace said.
But outside of the excise tax, grows aren't subject to any of these other revenues streams and the county doesn't see any of the excise tax.
Grows pay property taxes and the county will collect sales tax on equipment during construction, but Pace said he believes there's potential for more.
The Pueblo County Clerk and Recorder's office is collecting the taxes.
Clerk and Recorder Gilbert "Bo" Ortiz said last week's collections ran smoothly.
Because they have the potential to be large cash transactions, Ortiz said the retailers make appointments with the county and bring in their receipts, forms and money.
Ortiz said the office is accustomed to handling a lot of cash transactions, so it was the logical choice to collect the money.
The Obama administration has suggested banks loosen their regulations for states with marijuana businesses and Ortiz said he hopes local bankers reach out to all of the county's marijuana businesses, both recreational and medical. It would make it easier to collect and pay the money.
"In the meantime, we have a process that is as smooth and painless as possible," he said.

Perricone 3-Day Diet: Get a Face Lift…in Your Kitchen?
A healthy, anti-inflammatory diet aids in the elimination of puffiness and increases contours and firmness. Dr.Perricone recommends getting some immediate benefits by following an antioxidant-rich diet for 3 days. The foundation of this diet is salmon, eaten twice a day. Wild Alaskan Salmon is beneficial to skin because it contains DMAE, astaxanthin, and essential fatty acids that increase skin's radiance, glow, and firmness.
Read on to learn about the benefits of these components and for a menu of this breakthrough, wrinkle-free diet:
DMAE is an anti-inflammatory nutritional substance and is also important in the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is essential to communication between nerves and muscles. For muscles to contract, acetylcholine must send the message from the nerves. Because of this, DMAE combats sagging that is associated with aging.
Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant found in marine plants, algae, and seafood. It protects cell membrane components from oxidative stress and inflammation, thereby diminishing wrinkles and providing a wealth of other benefits.
Fatty acids
Fatty acids help the body absorb nutrients from fruits and vegetables and keep cells supple. They improve memory and mood and keep skin glowing and wrinkle-free.
Example Menu
3 egg omelet and/or 4-6 oz. grilled salmon.
½ cup cooked oatmeal (not instant)
2" wedge of cantaloupe or 1/3 cup fresh berries
8 – 12 oz. spring water
4-6 oz. grilled salmon.
2 cups green salad (Romaine lettuce or other dark leafy greens with extra virgin olive oil and fresh squeezed lemon)
1 kiwi fruit or cantaloupe and berries
8 – 12 oz. spring water
1 apple
2 oz. slice of turkey breast or 6 oz. plain yogurt
Small handful of hazelnuts, walnuts or almonds
4-6 oz. grilled salmon
2 cups green salad
½ cup steamed veggies. (Asparagus, broccoli, spinach, etc. No root vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, or beets.)
Cantaloupe and berries
8 – 12 oz. spring water
Before Bedtime Snack
1 pear or apple
2 oz. slice chicken or turkey breast or 6 oz. plain yogurt
Small handful of hazelnuts, walnuts or almonds

Just a sidenote... now that you're recording... don't panic. hahaha. there's no need to rush. Photoshop records your clicks, but not the time in which it takes to do them. It also only records "Completed" tasks. For instance.. if you accidentally click on Edit instead of Image, no worries. It will not actually record that click because there was nothing actually "completed" there. So you can freely move over and click Image and choose your command. It will be recorded once you click OK at the end of that task. (Does that make sense?) If it doesn't make sense now, don't worry... it will as we continue. And don't forget that you can always press STOP and delete a task that you may have inadvertantly recorded.
8. Now with your layered file open go to Image and choose Duplicate.
9. Photoshop will give you a default name for your duplicated image of "file name copy". Leave that as is and click OK. (Make sure that Duplicate Merged Layers Only is not checked.)
Once you click OK, take a look at your actions palette. Photoshop has just recorded our first step. :)
10. Now, the image we just duplicated is a layered image. Since we want to save this image as a .jpg so that we can use it for printing, we want to merge all of our layers. So go to Layer and choose Merge Visible (Flatten Image will also work for this).
11. So now we have an image that is ready to be saved as a .jpg file. Go to File and choose Save As.
12. Now, find the folder that you normally save your high res .jpg layouts. You file name will appear, change your Format to JPEG and click Save.
13. Ok, now let's go ahead and duplicate *this* image since we still need another .jpg for posting. So again, go to Image and choose Duplicate. This time, Photoshop will give your duplicated image a default name of "file name copy 2". Again, leave the default name it gives you and click OK.
14. Let's make our "copy 2" file our low res .jpg file. Go to Image and choose Image Size.
15. When your Image Size window comes up, change your resolution from 300 to 72. Then, change your go to the top of the window and change your width to 600 since this is the most common gallery posting size. (*Note: if you're working with a 12x12 layout, both width and height should be 600, but if you're working with an 11x8.5 size just change the width to 600. Photoshop should automatically adjust the height to coordinate.) Last, but certainly not least refer to the bottom of your Image Size window. Pull down that drop down menu and select "Bicubic Sharper (best for reduction.) This will keep your image from becoming blurry or pixley during the size reduction procedure... a very important, but often overlooked step. Then click OK.
16. If your version of Photoshop does not have the Bicubic Sharper option, you can still acheive a sharpened image. Go to Filter and choose Sharpen. But no need to do both.
17. Now that our "copy 2" file is resized and ready to save, go to File and choose Save As. Find the folder that you normally save your low res .jpgs in and click Save. Now, when your JPEG Options window opens, you will want to reduce the quality. This makes the file size smaller. Most galleries have a size limit of 150k for posting. I can usually get away with 8 because I scrap in using 11x8.5 size canvas. But if you scrap using a 12x12 canvas, you will probably want to drop this number down to 6.
18. Now, before we press stop to complete our action, close out of all 3 files.
We are now done with our action. So simply press STOP.
19. To test your action, open a .psd or .tiff file and press PLAY. Then go and check your folders to see that your files saved in the proper place.
That's it. That's all there is to it! You just created an action. And not just any action, but one that you will use over and over and over.
Now that you have the basic principles... try to make others. Make one for brightening and boosting the color in your photos, make one that turns your photos b/w or sepia toned. The possibilities are endless.... and Photoshop can handle some pretty complex actions, so don't hold back! :) It may take some practice, but keep at it!!
But WAIT!! We aren't done yet! You will be AMAZED at all the free actions that are out there just waiting to be downloaded!!! Let's go ahead and pick out an action so we can learn how to get it into Photoshop!
Downloading and Using Your Actions:
Let's use this one from a website called ShutterFreaks. It was made by Pete Perry and is called Hayes Island Varient. It takes your photo and turns it into what looks like a canvas painting. Let's go step by step of downloading, unzipping, and loading and saving it to Photoshop. Here's the link where I found it so you can follow along.
1. Click the download link to whatever action you are purchasing or downloading for free.
2. Click Save
3. I have an Actions folder within my Scrapbook Supplies folder. This is where I save all of my actions. Find the folder you want to save your action in and press Save.
4. Now, open the folder you saved your action in and locate the zipped file. When you find it, right-click on it and choose Extract All.
5. Leave the Destination as is and click Extract.
6. The folder to get to your action is now saved in the same folder. Now you can delete the zipped file.
7. When you open your action folder, you will see the ATN file. This is your action. :)
8. Now, open Photoshop and open up your Actions palette. Click on the little arrow (yours may have a little circle with an arrow inside it). This will show you your options. Choose Load Actions.
9. Navigate to the folder where you saved your action, click on the action and click Load.
Your action will be loaded at the bottom of your list on your Actions Palette in Photoshop.
10. Now, choose a photo to test it out on. Once your photo is open, click the action in your actions palette to hightight it in blue. Now press PLAY.

After their marriage in 1816 Constable and Maria settled in London. In the summer and autumn of 1817 they holidayed at East Bergholt, where Constable made many oil sketches as well as this meticulous drawing of English elms in Old Hall Park. Inscribed 'Octr 22nd 1817', this is the last dated work he made in Suffolk that year. It was probably mostly drawn in front of the motif.
Elm trees in Old Hall Park, East Bergholt is a very beautiful finished drawing, which Constable showed at a Royal Academy exhibition 1818. It is one of a group of particularly detailed works that he made in the middle of his career, including The wheatfield 1816 .
Constable made many studies of trees, including Study of an ash tree, 21 June 1823 , but none show the extent of his powers of draughtsmanship demonstrated in this work. As Leslie Parris and Ian Fleming-Williams point out, in technique it is one of his more complex drawings. For the trees Constable used two pencils of different degrees of hardness – a relatively hard one to create a silvery grey tone, and a softer one for the dark tones. It is the interplay between these two tonalities that gives the drawing its remarkable luminosity. The foreground is enlivened with touches of grey wash and white (Tate 1991, pp. 436–37).
During a visit to East Bergholt in October 1819, Constable wrote to Maria: 'There is a sad ravage made with the trees, owing to the wind and weight of snow hanging on the foliage – one would think there had been a battle of Waterloo in Mr. Godfrey's park' (Beckett II, p. 254). Many years later he wrote on the back of this drawing: 'This noble Elm … was blown down April 1835. it broke even with the ground.'
Constable had been commissioned to paint Old Hall in 1801 when it belonged to John Reade. He became friends with the new owners, Peter Godfrey and his wife, who purchased Old Hall in 1804. He painted a view of the Stour Valley for their daughter, Philadelphia, for which The Stour Valley and Dedham Village 1814 was a preparatory study.

If you thought that Apple's foray into the world of home entertainment died with the last iteration of the Apple TV (ATV), you're quite wrong...
Well that's at least according to Engadget - who in a recent article coined, The Next Apple TV Revealed, declared it alive again. It's an interesting to see this latest move by Apple as we recently reported that The Mac community is even proclaiming Apple TV already. And if what is being reported is correct, it looks like Apple Iphone Apps and the technology around it will be the crossover point for TV Apps and Widgets around this new alleged release.
...it ties much more closely into Apple's mobile offerings. The new architecture of the device will be based directly on the iPhone 4, meaning it will get the same internals, down to that A4 CPU and a limited amount of flash storage -- 16GB to be exact -- though it will be capable of full 1080p HD (!). The device is said to be quite small with a scarce amount of ports (only the power socket and video out), and has been described to some as "an iPhone without a screen." Are you ready for the real shocker? According to our sources, the price-point for the device will be $99. One more time -- a hundred bucks.
The price point - a full third less than the projected Google Set Top Box (STB) is not the only shocker. The size is also very interesting.
Not only will this be priced to sell (like hotcakes), it seems that Apple is moving away from the model of local storage, and will be focusing the new ATV on cloud-based storage (not unlike Amazon's streaming scheme, though we're talking instant-on 1080p, a la Microsoft). For those still interested in keeping their content close, there will be an option to utilize a Time Capsule as an external storage component, but the main course will be all about streaming. The new ATV will do away with its current OS X-lite variation as a operating system, and will instead adopt the iPhone OS for the underlying experience.
There's no word at this point on whether apps and the App Store will be coming along for the ride, but it makes sense given the shared platform. Of course, scaling iPhone apps to that 52-inch plasma in your living room isn't exactly a no-brainer. Perhaps not surprisingly, Apple won't deliver the ATV news at the upcoming WWDC -- that event will be focused on the capabilities of the new iPhone -- but development on the product is most definitely full steam ahead. Is your TV screen the next battleground in the platform wars? Survey says: hell yes.
Like Google, they are going for the natural Cloud/Streaming solution, but storing a lot using their Time Capsule is going to be tricky. In terms of storage. At Appmarket.tv we look forward to more competition and frameworks, open developer standards and more community of course. It looks great!

Simply called "Food For Kids," the brainchild of Shelia and Kenzie Gilbert is nothing more than a picnic table and a few tents on the 19th block of Messanie.
Food For Kids provides free lunches to 150 children in that area.
It began in 2009, when the Gilberts aimed to feed around 25 kids that lived near their church.
The program begins serving at 11:00 a.m., but Shelia Gilbert says on the first day the kids started showing up as early as 7:30.
All the food provided comes from free will donations by people and businesses near their neighborhood.
"It takes a village to raise these children. So people are going into their cupboards, they're going into their pockets, they're going into the stores, and they're coming out and bringing us the food items to put together. Kenzie and I are doing the Lord's work, making it happen," Ms. Gilbert said.
Food For Kids sets up at the Messanie location through the summer months Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Skip to comments.PPP poll shows Romney ahead in North Carolina
Posted on 06/12/2012 10:03:21 AM PDT by daivid
Left-leaning pollster PPP said Tuesday that its latest survey of potential North Carolina voters shows Mitt Romney leading President Barack Obama for the first time since October.
Public Policy Polling said Romney leads 48 percent to 46 - a gain of seven points on Obama since April, when the President led by a 49-44 margin
(Excerpt) Read more at abclocal.go.com ...
Will Obama hire new campaign staff? His attack ads are backfiring.
Obozo won NC last time by fraud.
If Obama thought he could carry NC, he must have been smoking long crooked cigaretts. Romney will carry NC by 10+ %. You wont see any Obama AD money in NC this Fall.
Somewhere you can just hear Jimmah Carter saying "YESSS!" "Finally I am going to get out from under this legacy of being the country's worst president!"
What a blessing that would be!!!
Seems like alot of crucial swing states are either tipping toward Romney or already in his collumn.
Odd choice of population to poll: "Potential voters"
I looked at the links. No mention of either registered or likely voter. It seems to be a poll of people who voted in the 2008 election, but I'm not sure. (BTW - this poll surveyed a population that voted 46/46 for Obama/McCain)
My dad died in 2007 (NC resident). I wonder if he voted for 0bama in 2008.
Rather tenuous situation, since the donks are holding the convention in Charlotte. Sucks to be them!
And it's good to see the race back even here in VA.
How liberal has North Carolina become? From comments I've read on FR it sounds pretty leftist... their governor even suggested that elections be suspended "for the good of the economy."
Any NC Freepers care to weigh in?
PPP, despite being a Dem polster isn't terrible. Just add in the 5% bias and they are pretty close. Obama's only shot at a Southern state is Virginia. The rest are way gone to him.
Obammy's chances of winning NC are slim to none. If he does somehow take it, he wins in an electoral landslide again.
When a 90 pt. lead drops to a 56 pt. lead you've got serious, serious problems:
This keeps up for the next few weeks, we could be seeing the Bill & Hill show on the ticket. Seems like every bit of news coming out these days concerning Zero's 2012 prospects is all doom and gloom.
I don't believe that blacks will vote for the white guy. They'll either vote O or stay home and play X-Box.
Nah, they'll just go to 7-11 for some ice tea and Skittles.
"How liberal has North Carolina become?"
Our growing urban areas are going blue- huge influx of leftists from the NE. On the other hand, the Republicans finally have control of the legislature for the first time in over a century and Governor Bev is not running again. And the Democrat party here is pretty much in meltdown mode after some scandals. If we could run some of these folks back north, we might be able to salvage the place.
Can you interest them in a tour of Dismal Swamp?
Odumbo won NC by a very slim margin in '08. Heath Shuler retired bc they took Asheville out of his district, so look for the GOP to pick up one seat in the House and for Romney to win.
No way Obama wins VA this time. Look at the GOP landslides since 2008.
Just surprised that with the bad economy, even the lefty folks have not changed. What could happen is that, with the Dems in your state being in meltdown mode as you have said, many keep their politics to themselves.
"many keep their politics to themselves."
That has actually been a quiet part of NC society since 1865. During the Civil War, the Union occupied the eastern part of the state, the Confederacy controlled the middle, and the west was mostly Union sympathizers. Afterward, the east and middle remained firmly in the hands of the Democrats, with some violence involved. Discussing politics was mostly framed in that context- if you were the wrong political party in the wrong place you didn't talk about politics, because you might have to let your fists, knife, Sam Colt or Iver Johnson do your speaking. Even long after that, the attitude was, you didn't talk politics outside of close friends or family. That's gradually going by the wayside now- the Civil War/FDR Democrats are dying off, and the Republicans are gradually finding a voice. Mostly, the Democrats here have been very publicly incompetent in the last decade or so. The marriage amendment vote demoralized them a lot, also. That might be another factor in them being a bit quiet- they were rather stunned to find real NC still lives yet.
Look him up to see if he is still on voter rolls, and to see if he voted.

The day was organized by the Residence Life and Community Service-Learning (CSL) departments, and included a volunteer opportunity at Soup for the Soul, a local meal program available through St. Andrews United Church.
CSL is a growing component of post-secondary education that integrates meaningful community service with classroom instruction and critical reflection to enrich the learning experience for students and strengthen communities for the common good.
"A day like Laurier Serves provides students the opportunity to focus on a particular social issue, to learn and to serve, said Ravi Gokani, CSL coordinator at Lauriers Brantford campus. We had a remarkable group of young leaders come out, a testament to student engagement and student interest in social justice."
The Laurier Serves event consisted of an introduction to the day and a discussion about food security, facilitated by Gokani. Students spent the next three hours preparing for the meal program, including assembling almost 200 burritos. The day concluded with a reflection and debrief again facilitated by Gokani, which offered students an opportunity to discuss their experiences and what they learned through their participation.
We were pleased to spend the day with Soup for the Soul, which has been a partner of ours for years, said Gokani. Brandy Greentree, who runs the program, is a phenomenal person and provided our students with an insight into issues of food insecurity in Brantford. The students really benefited from her experience and wisdom."
Earlier this year, CSL partnered with Lauriers Human Resources department to offer a similar experience at Soup for the Soul for faculty and staff.
Overall, CSL has been included as a part of 47 unique courses that have been offered more than 160 times across 23 academic departments at Laurier since 2007. Nearly 1,500 students completed a course that included a service-learning component in 2012/13.
National Volunteer Week, which celebrates volunteers and inspires others to engage in their communities, runs until April 12.

Meet Us at the Minnesota State Fair
The gang from Speaking of Faith will be at the Minnesota State Fair this Friday, August 22, at the Minnesota Public Radio booth (at the corner of Judson Ave. and Nelson St.), between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
Although Krista will be in Mississippi, if you're in the Twin Cities, come say howdy to Kate, Colleen, Alda, Andy, Mitch, Rob and I
(and possibly Trent). Don't worry, I asked your boss if you could take the day off and your boss said it was OK.
I've never been to the State Fair, being from Montreal, so I'm looking forward to the festivities. We Canadians put our cheese curds in a bowl of fries and gravy, so I'll be curious to see what Minnesotans do with 'em. See you there, eh!
