Favorite Tillamook products:
Tillamook Pepper Jack Cheese, Tillamook All-Natural Sour Cream and Tillamook Oregon Strawberry Ice Cream.
Favorite way to eat Tillamook:
Oh where to begin…When I'm in the mood for a snack I love to eat Tillamook Pepper Jack Cheese with crackers. I have to slice the cheese and put the loaf back in the fridge before I start eating or I'll just keep going after more slices! I'm an avid entertainer, and a big fan of letting people have a say in what they eat. I love hosting a taco bar that offers a variety of shredded Tillamook cheese, the All-Natural Sour Cream and a variety of meats, veggies and toppings! For dessert, the ice cream sundae bar reigns supreme! I generally have Tillamook Marionberry Pie, Tillamook Oregon Strawberry and Tillamook Carmel Toffee Crunch ice creams on hand 24/7. When guests come, they can assemble any way they like! My rule of thumb is the more fixins' on your sundae the better!
Hobbies & Interests:
Besides eating cheese…hmmmm. I love entertaining, cooking, hiking, running, yoga, spending quality time with friends and family, and traveling!

Deer Creek Falls is a popular stop at river mile 136. The thunderous waterfall has stunned river runners from the very beginning.
"Just after dinner we pass a stream on the right, which leaps into the Colorado by a direct fall of more than 1000 feet, forming a beautiful cascade. On the rocks in the cave like chamber are ferns, with delicate fronds and enameled stalks." Major John Wesley Powell
The hike up Deer Creek through the narrow slot canyon of Tapeats Sandstone is along narrow ledges at points. A long day hike is possible from Racetrack camp is possible, but requires a boat shuttle for the hikers.

- Tacy Cooper (also spelled Tase or Tasy), born in England February 1608 or 1609. I don't know who her parents were, or whether anyone has tried to research this line. Tacy married Samuel Hubbard in Windsor, Connecticut on 4 January 1636. She died after 1697. She was my ninth great-grandmother.
Here's an interesting comment about her:
So far as can be learned from the earliest records, the first person upon this continent to begin the observance of the Bible Sabbath, March 11, 1671, was a woman, Tacy Hubbard, wife of Samuel Hubbard, who commenced its observance a little later. The two became prominent members of the first Seventh-day Baptist Church of Newport, but before their separation from the First-day Baptist Church, when they, with several others, were called to account for absenting themselves from the "breaking of bread," it was Tacy Hubbard, who, before the stern assemblage, "gave in the grounds," numbered consecutively 1, 2 and 3, with great clearness and force. Among the forefathers of our people, men of sterling worth, intellectually and spiritually, eminently fitted to stand shoulder to shoulder, as they did, with Roger Williams, in the maintenance of religious liberty, let this pre-eminent foremother retain her first place—ever first, down through the generations of loyal successors, in reverence and affection.Seventh Day Baptist General Conference.

Asphalt issue story leaves out accuracy
Those who are depending on freshly produced asphalt being trucked out of the Lehman-Roberts Company plant site on Munsford Drive in New Albany, should not hold their collective breaths until the Circuit Court Judge rules on the litigation that is now being delayed by the City of New Albany, it's Board of Aldermen and their appointed attorney from Pontotoc. This advisory is being issued as a result of some seriously flawed information being reported by a Northeast Mississippi newspaper.
According to the newspaper's story (and a spokesman for the company), the plant is going to be up and running by March 1 and that the case now pending before the Circuit Court is over. The story went on to say that the plaintiffs and any other "opponents had a choice between embarrassment and reassurance upon learning toward the end of the legal process that another asphalt plant already had been operating nearby without being widely noticed."
In our opinion, it would be very safe to say that very few people in New Albany, and then only those too young or too new to the city, did not know throughout this asphalt controversy that another asphalt plant was actively operating in that location. For any publication to report otherwise indicates they failed to talk to anyone who lives in New Albany. Any suggestion of embarrassment or even reassurance is a strong indicator that the much of the story was written by the company's public relations person.
Which brings us to the purpose behind this front page story in an out-of-town newspaper about an issue that is still awaiting a court review and decision.
In a public-relations story obviously generated by the asphalt company, this out-of-town newspaper mistakenly cited that the Attorney General had issued an opinion upholding the New Albany City Attorney and Board of Aldermen's zoning decision when that opinion actually addresses the building permit and if a stay on that permit should be ordered while the zoning issue is still being decided. At the same time, the request for that opinion was intentionally absent of the full particulars of the issue and is also in question itself.
Far from being settled or decided by the Circuit Judge, the Lehman-Roberts Asphalt Plant, Munsford Drive issue is still very much alive and waiting to be addressed by that same Circuit Judge with who this newspaper apparently failed to talk. As a matter of fact, it appears the newspaper failed to talk with anyone other than the Lehman-Roberts official, who repeated many of the same statements and opinions presented during meetings of the New Albany Board of Aldermen in support of their position in the controversy. The story only lacked an appeal for potential buyers of asphalt to place their orders.
The prostitution of legitimate news stories to provide public relations for commercial enterprises is not new and, sadly, is practiced in many areas of the country, not by many newspapers, but usually by those who are inclined to place gain over ethics. Most newspapers call such stories "Advertorials," but few, if any, put them on the front page without some sort of identification that it is not legitimate news. Such practices are why the general public, many times, has such a low regard for the press and places only suspicious trust in those who report and publish the news.
The attorneys for Lehman-Roberts and the City of New Albany and the attorneys for the plaintiffs will attend a Circuit Court hearing on December 19 to consider motions before the court.
The judge has not set a court date nor has he ruled in this case.

Solution for the Piracy problem:
1) Get permission to man and mount 50 caliber guns on the ships sailing in the trouble waters.
2) Open a high seas adventure company where people pay $50K for the adventure and possibility to fight off pirates.
3) Have the clients man the guns for their two week adventure.

Agreed. Obama gets no credit for this. He probably thinks Navy SEALS are a bunch of trained fish.
All the credit and glory to the Navy! Job well done.
Gotta love these dumbasses
"From now on, if we capture foreign ships and their respective countries try to attack us, we will kill them (the hostages)," Jamac Habeb, a 30-year-old pirate, told the Associated Press from one of Somalia's piracy hubs, Eyl. "(U.S. forces have) become our No. 1 enemy."
Hummmmmm....let call out the US millitary that sounds like a good idea since they just took three shots and killed three bad guys. Keep in mind the bad guys calling them out couldn't even take an UNARMED crew to begin with.
Ok so now you say you are just going to kill the hostages. How long do you suppose they would have lasted if that is what they did???? Holding a hostage got them a few more days in their crappy lives before they lost their heads
I predict Jamac Habeb makes it to the ripe old age of 30.5....
just saying

I, for one, am willing to give the President some credit for allowing the use of deadly force to rescue Capt. Phillips. At least this did not deteriorate into a "Tehran-style" hostage situation where SpecOps forces would have to try and get this guy out in a land operation for a possible repeat of Mogadishu .
But, I would be very curious to know how many times that requests for authorization were turned down first in favor of negotiations with the terrorists. Jmtc, but it never should have been allowed to get this far in the first place. Thank God, that if this incident did have to occur, that it happened now while our forces still have funds for the manpower, arms & training. How many of the teams are going to end up cut or not have the equipment to train with in the upcoming budgets? What happens when ships like the Bainbridge are going to be forced to sit in port like so many cops at a donut shop and take even longer to get on the scene?
Now, the Administration has placed itself in a no-win situation though. The maritime terrorists are vowing retaliation against American interests and state they willl kill the hostages from now on. Al-Quaida, (if they aren't already) will be more than happy to support 'noble warriors against the Great Satan' and the "marine-jahadin" will most likely get better weapons. The Navy vessels that will be kept in the area "for now"will be at an increased risk of a USS Cole type attack.
It will be interesting to see what happens with the former 'War on Terror"as they are forced to acknowledge that "Conflict Resolution 101" does not work with people that hate & despise you. They also have to know that when this wounded Somali goes to whatever 'court" ends up getting jurisdiction, that some "trans-nationalist: lawyer is going to make this into a circus sideshow regarding the issues of "self defense of national waters by the Somali "Coast Guard", & of the over fishing and nuclear waste dumping" that Julie R. referenced in her link from another post. In the end though, I imagine that the Somali's will end getting an Obama aplogy too and I wouldn't be surprised to hear of some kind of bailout for them in the guise of "more must be done to prevent future attacks"!
Also what message does 4 terrorists w/ AK's in a lifeboat having the ability of holding off the "world's only superpower" send to the Chinese, Russians, the Indians, Iranians, North Koreans etc., folks with real weapons and tactics? Achmedinajad's sides have to be hurting from laughing so hard.
And, finally, what message does Obama really send to the American people with his praise for the captain's actions? According to AP "As the pirates clambered aboard and shot in the air, Phillips told his crew to lock themselves in a cabin and surrendered himself to safeguard his men. "
The message I read is "Don't fight back, run & hide as the person in charge gives up and waits for law enforcement."
Is that what you intend to do to protect your loved ones if someone breaks into your home?
"It's not that government is inherently stupid, although that's a debatable question."

Jim and I burst out laughing this morning while having our morning coffee. A news reporter asked a navy spokesman how many shots were fired when the Seals won Phillips freedom. The spokesman answered 3 and felt the need to add "they are highly trained". Bwahaha. That has to be the understatement of the year. Probably only 1 of 500 ways those Seals could have taken out those pirates.

"It's the journey that's important, with experience and knowledge to be gained along the way, in the company of our faithful dogs and our good friends."

Were the pirates really being towed by a Navy vessel? I read the shot taken by the SEALS was less than 100 feet...boat to boat!
Love that .50 cal the SEAL snipers use. What a gun! Doubt they used it on these pirates, though.

2013 Coordinated Party Expenditure Limits
The 2013 coordinated party expenditure limits are now available. The limits are:
Party committees may make these special expenditures on behalf of their 2013 general election nominees (for example, in special elections). National party committees have a separate limit for each nominee. The national Senatorial and Congressional committees do not have separate coordinated party expenditure limits, but may receive authorization to spend against the national limit or state party limits. Each state party committee has a separate limit for each House and Senate nominee in its state. Local party committees do not have their own separate limit. One party committee may authorize another committee of that party to make an expenditure against the authorizing committee's limit. Local committees may make coordinated party expenditures only after receiving written authorization from another committee within the party.
Coordinated party expenditure limits are separate from the contribution limits; they also differ from contributions in that the party committee must spend the funds on behalf of the candidate rather than give the money directly to the campaign. Although these expenditures may be made in consultation with the candidate, only the party committee making the expenditure—not the candidate committee—must report them. (Coordinated party expenditures are reported on FEC Form 3X, Line 25, and are always itemized on Schedule F, regardless of amount.)
Click here to view the 2013 coordinated party expenditure limits. The link also includes information on which party committees have the authority to make coordinated party expenditures; the formula used to calculate the coordinated party expenditure limits; and a listing of the state-by-state coordinated party expenditure limits for Senate candidates.

Umm You seem to be misunderstanding or refusing to see the point .That is -You waste resources doing it that way on the server which is badly overloaded already.Slowing every serve down.Download time is valuable to most people and in poorer countries and rural areas they don't have the download capacity of the big cities and it takes forever to get a picture down . In the bad old days you could drink a beer in the time it took to get down one picture.Personally I'm on a boat and it costs to get your picture downYou cant see much from a thumbnail-look at how many views of the first are made then compare to 2 and 3.I have a personal dislike of criticising posts too. Mine is a suggestion concerning the attachments.Your post seems pretty pointless though anyway!

Kimberly Jolly, from Fat Quarter Shop, is here today to tell us all about the Quick and Easy Block Tool. And don't forget the Notion of the Month is 20% OFF all month!
We have carried this product for over two years but I had never really played with the product. Let me tell you I am in love! Personally, I collect any quilt book that has block instructions since I enjoy making sampler quilts. C&T's Quick & Easy Block Tool has instructions for 102 rotary-cut quilt blocks. Each block has instructions in 5 sizes (4", 6", 8", 10" and 12"). This tool is so handy and will now be my go-to guide when I need to make a quick block.
You can purchase the Quick & Easy Block tool two ways, as a handy pocket guide or as a phone app. (Disclaimer - We don't offer the app through our store so this option is not 20% off.)
I have been having fun with the Quick & Easy Block Tool and here are two blocks we have made from this guide!
This great tool is perfect for creating striking blocks that stand alone or sampler quilts. Sift through the 102 blocks, choose a size and get quilting!

Ronald Elsner
Ronald G. Elsner, age 78, of Verona, WI passed away on Wednesday, July 17, 2013 at the New Glarus Home.
He was born on August 4, 1934 to his parents William and Agnes (Anderson) Elsner. Ron graduated from Belleville High School. In 1954 he was united in marriage to Arlene LaPorte.

People have always thought that Joanna Newsom was indulgent. At first, it was about her voice — the kind of nasal yelp that usually keeps a performer from getting on stage at all. Then, on her second album, it was about her vocabulary and her instrumentation. She loves antiquated language, and she plays the harp. In 2006, she told the Wire that "decadence figures very prominently" in her music. That seemed like a good self-assessment.
But her new album isn't decadent, or indulgent, or vain — even though it's actually a triple album, and more than two hours long. Have One on Me (Drag City) has 18 tracks — which is not outrageous. It's just that she's discovered that the songs she writes best are about seven minutes long. Indulgence is when you take what you do best and do too much of it. Newsom has figured out her idiom, and this is the best music she's ever made.
She frequently calls herself a composer — which is accurate. The impression that many have of her music as baroque doesn't derive just from her cover art, or the blacksmiths and fiefdoms that keep popping up in her lyrics — it's right there in the chords. The title track has a few moments where a melodic line, after wandering sensibly along in a minor key, ends on a major chord, like Hamlet capping off one of his monologues with a little tap dance. It's called a Picardy third, and it's the kind of thing you more often hear at the end of a Bach fugue.
Such devices more or less ran the show on Newsom's second album, Ys. This time, however, she's supplemented them with open chords and gospel-inflected vocal lines. The results feel more confident, even plainspoken. "Mercy me, the night is long/Take my pen, to write you this song" is how "Occident" opens. That's 14 words using a grand total of 15 syllables.
Her voice has opened up as well — it now slides easily between the nasal original and a high, sweet timbre that would make sense in duets with James Taylor. Her singing here is expressive and even occasionally heartbreaking. (Purists might complain that it's less quirky — just remember that personality quirks can hide as much as they reveal.) Unfolding slowly and beautifully over the course of 10 minutes, "Baby Birch" makes a lot of Ys's musical sophistication sound frantic, even a little hysterical.
Newsom believes that the best way to understand something is to describe it slowly and in detail. Halfway through, in "In California," her narrator wonders whether a romance can work. It's not till the closing track that she realizes her hopes were misplaced. She sings, "It does not suffice/For you to say I am a sweet girl/Or to say you hate to see me sad because of you./It does not suffice/To merely lie beside each other/As those who love each other do."
And she walks out the door. Newsom has been described as childlike, but that line is grown-up and clear-eyed. I'd hate to be the guy who has to process being seen in such a ruthless light.

Alternate name: Spanish Oak
Family: Fagaceae, Beech view all from this family
Description Quercus falcata, commonly known as the Southern Red Oak or Spanish Oak, is a tree in the red oak section (Lobatae) of the genus Quercus native to the southeastern United States.
It occurs on dry or sandy upland sites from southern New York (Long Island) south to central Florida and west to southern Missouri and eastern Texas. Along the northeastern portion of its range the species is relatively rare and found almost exclusively along the coast; while its highest prevalence is throughout the piedmont region.
It is a medium sized deciduous tree reaching 25–30 m tall, rarely 35–38 m (forest grown specimens on highly productive sites), with a trunk up to 11⁄2 meters in diameter, the crown with a broad, round-topped head. The leaves are 10–30 cm long and 6–16 cm wide, with 3 to 5 sharply pointed, often curved, bristle-tipped lobes, the central lobe long and narrow; the small number of long, narrow lobes is diagnostic, readily distinguishing Southern Red Oak from other red oaks. The base of the leaf is distinctly rounded into an inverted bell shape and often lopsided. They are dark green and shiny above, and rusty and hairy below, particularly along the midrib and veins. The seed is a short acorn 9–16 mm long, bright orange-brown, enclosed for one-third to half of its length in a flat cup. The acorn matures at the end of its second season. The bark is dark brownish gray with narrow, shallow ridges.
Southern Red Oak has been reported to form occasional hybrids with several other red oaks in the region.
Habitat Canyons & valleys.
Range Texas, Southeast, Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, Plains, Florida.

TUPELO – Who'll take home the prizes for the best fairy tale characters?
You'll have to see at "The Granny Awards," presented this weekend by Pied Piper Playhouse. Cinderella, Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, the Three Little Pigs, the Big Bad Wolf are all there, complete with commercials for Jack and Jill's Spring Water and Hickory Dickory Dock Clocks.
"It's a spoof of the Grammys," said director Tosha Matthews Parker. "There are awards for Best Male Vocalist, Best Female Vocalist. Granny is at the awards, all dolled up. It's got a lot of cute little moments."
Snoozy, played by 11-year-old Rahul Dey, gives out the awards to the magical winners, but, as his name suggests, sometimes he gets a little sleepy.
"(Snoozy) is supposed to be really, really sleepy, and he always has to have a lot of loud noises to wake him up. (The Wolf) is the main antagonist, because he really wants an award and he tries to steal them," Dey said. "My favorite part is falling asleep – I get to sleep on the job."
The wolf, played by Trevor Hart, gets what's coming to him when the Three Little Pigs, Granny and Little Red Riding Hood win for Best Rap – a rap all about the conniving Wolf.
Rob Parker, 7, plays Jack, of Jack and the Beanstalk fame, who scores Best Male Vocalist Award.
"It's very, very funny," he said. "It's a fun play and it's a privilege to do it. It's a fun privilege."

A son seeks to solve the mystery of his father's brutal killing in Niall Leonard's gripping thriller, "Crusher." Here's an excerpt.
It really was ringing, his phone—my phone—vibrating so wildly it was about to dance off my bedside table. No glass of orange juice. I picked up the phone and squinted at the screen. Number withheld. I pressed "answer."
"Finn Maguire," I croaked.
"Be at the Iron Bridge five p.m. Tell 'em I sent you." It took me a second to register who was calling, but then I recognized the sneer in James's voice.
"Five p.m.? Today?" Dad's body was going to be laid out in the undertaker's today. From the brief, angry pause before James replied I got the impression he didn't like having his instructions questioned.
"You want this f__king job or not?"
"Yeah. I mean, thanks," I said. "I'll be there." He hung up.
I checked the screen for the time. It was just gone seven. I'd always supposed professional criminals slept late and did their gangstering at night. But maybe James was just going to bed. He'd done me a favour anyway; spring sunshine was streaming in the window, and my legs felt twitchy. I hadn't been running for a few days, and I needed to make up for lost time.
While I ran I thought about the arrangements I'd made for Dad's funeral. The undertaker, Mr. Stone, was a pale, podgy guy in his late twenties, with beautifully manicured hands and a practised sympathetic expression that looked even graver when I'd mentioned how skint I was. He'd asked me if I intended burial or cremation, and I'd gone for cremation. Dad had always found graveyards depressing, and I presumed he hadn't wanted to end up in one. He'd never visited the graves of his own parents, and didn't feel guilty about it—he said once that he'd done his bit while they were alive and could still appreciate it. The undertaker explained smoothly that cremation required another doctor's signature, but that he would see to all that. I guessed that service would be added to his bill as well.
One of Elsa Kendrick's leaflets had explained the government grants that people with no income could get to help with funerals. The money went direct to the undertaker, but it didn't cover everything, and I got the impression that under his sad, calm exterior Mr. Stone was taking every opportunity to bump up his bill. Of course, most people burying relatives don't want to be thought stingy, and are too embarrassed to haggle, but I didn't care what people thought. Especially when it came to my dad—finding a bargain was almost a vocation, for him. I sensed Stone the undertaker was getting a bit fed up with me insisting everything should be done on the cheap—like when I went for a Monday service because it cost less than one on a Saturday. When I asked if he was related to any of the Parkers, he explained smoothly there were no Parkers any more. The firm had been bought out years ago by a big national chain. I could see why big business had got involved: a market where the product never goes out of fashion and the clients think it's bad manners to haggle. Not that I envied Stone his steady job.
I got back home from my run forty seconds over my average time, and scolded myself mentally for slacking off. After a shower and a shave I ate my breakfast out of the bowl I'd left on the table. I rinsed it out first—I'm not a total slob.
More in books
I still wasn't sure how I was going to pay for the funeral. I had no idea what this job at the Iron Bridge restaurant would pay, presuming they gave me a job. For all my attempts to cut corners, Stone's written estimate suggested I'd end up owing him a few hundred quid. I still had most of the money McGovern had given me, but I was saving it for a piss-up for Dad's old mates at the Weaver's Arms. I was pretty sure that Dad would have preferred that to being cremated in a posher coffin.
But now the whole business of money was really starting to get to me. The bank, the benefits people, they'd have to be told. What would happen when I couldn't pay the mortgage? Would the bank take the house back? Or was it my house now? Did I inherit it from Dad when he died, or was he supposed to leave it to me in his will? I didn't even know if he'd made a will. Jesus . . . maybe it would end up belonging to my mother. Where the hell would I live then?
If Dad had ever made a will, I had a good idea where I might find it.
I pushed open the door of his room. The curtains were still open. Dad always made his bed right after he got up, but that was usually as neat as he got in here. Shirts and jeans of varying degrees of dirtiness were still piled on his bedside chair. His chest of drawers was strewn with copper coins not worth the trouble of gathering up, old pens, and dried-up bottles of antiperspirant he hadn't thrown away. The room still smelled of him, I noticed, but the scent was fading, succumbing to the smell of gathering dust. I transferred the clothes to the bed, dragged the chair over to the wardrobe, and climbed up onto it. Under a crushed, musty collection of hats was a Chinese fibre suitcase with two clasps, one busted. I grabbed the handle, dragged it down, plonked it onto the bed and flicked the good catch open.

The case was crammed with documents, some in manila folders, others in envelopes, in no particular order that I could see. The first envelope I looked into held yellowing official certificates. The topmost had the word "BIRTH" at the top. In a column on the left I made out my birth name, Finn Pearce Grey. The next document had the word "MARRIAGE" at the top. Noel Patrick Maguire, actor, to Lesley Helen Grey, actress. I put the certificates back. They were no use to me.
A second bulging manila envelope held a whole wodge of printouts, all similar. I recognized the bank logo on the top left-hand corner, but the entries and the figures and the endlessly repeated phrases merged and blurred as I stared at them. I did make out three words that kept reappearing at the head of each page: Interest-Only Repayments. I stuffed them back in the envelope and went on searching. After half an hour my eyes were aching and my head was pounding and I hadn't seen the word Will anywhere.
I stuffed the envelopes and folders back into the suitcase, flipped the lid shut and clicked the catch. I was going to shove the case back on top of the wardrobe, but decided not to bother; I'd probably need it again soon. I slid the case under Dad's bed, picked up his shirts and stuffed them into the laundry basket. Then I wondered why. He wasn't going to wear them, and I didn't want them. But I wasn't ready to stuff them into a bin bag and dump them in the doorway of a charity shop. I wasn't being sentimental, though part of me wished I felt that way. I just couldn't be arsed.

Breezy with highs in the forties and lows in the upper twenties at night. Not as bad as Oklahoma where my son is going to school, though:
Breezy with highs in the forties and lows in the upper twenties at night. Not as bad as Oklahoma where my son is going to school, though:
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Right now at 9:06 pm it is 9 but with the wind chill its -4. This morning when I left for work at 5:40 it was -1 without the windchill.
It's supposed to "warm up" into the 30s here by Friday. I don't really mind the cold so much, but the short days really make winter here depressing. I hate leaving work at 5 PM and the sun is already down.
Feeling guilty... today's supposed to be upper 70s to almost 80, sunny. But rain IS predicted later in the week (in the mid-50s, too).
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
On my way to work it was -2, then there was a strange fog/snow/something or other, then it got into the 20's, currently its snowing.
It hit 33 today (on my car thermometer) which is the first time we've been above the freezing mark in nearly 2 weeks.
Mid 20's with not quite 2 inches of snow, on Sunday we are predicted to get 4-6 inches more.
So late Saturday night a ton of rain came flying down in the Western New York region, among others. Weird for mid to late December to have rain period, but we did. On top of a foot of snow that melted earlier in the week, it was a soggy period. Not entirely new to the region but something we have had in years past.
My basement was fine. In fact I threw a Christmas party for my friends and we were playing ping pong and other types of pong along with other games, mainly in the basement. FYI, I keep 90% of my Star Wars collection in the basement. So we went to bed that night (a few guests decided to sleep over because the rain had turned to ice overnight and it was getting slippery) and my wife and I gave up the bed to sleep on the couch. Left the hall light so my guests could find the bathroom, and I noticed after I went to bed and woke up briefly that it was pitch dark. I thought to myself "oh, the power went off" and didn't think anything of it and went back to bed.
I then woke up at 6:00 a.m. and saw the light off again but this time I said, "Ohhhh, the power went off" and immediately went down to the basement. My cat was down there (my brother sleeping over put him in the basement after she pawed his face all night, standard procedure) but on the steps. So I checked and indeed at that point I had about 6 inches of water in the basement. Frantically I tried to rescue some of the boxes. I called my neighbor to get a generator, and he was ready to drive with me but the power went back on. My sump kicked on and the water started to drain.
However, 2 things. 1) My back up completely failed. I suspected it would because over the summer it did not entirely do its job when my main sump's breaker was tripped 2) The breaker for the main tripped about an hour after the power went back on adding about 6 more inches.
I can luckily say that save for my washer which isn't spinning, agitating, my treadmill, dryer, humidifier, furnace and hot water tank were fine. But I cannot begin to tell you about my collection. I have 80% of my collection in package, most of it mint. Most of it was water logged despite lots of totes and damaged. My vehicle collection took the biggest hit since they were the heaviest and took up the bottom of the basement. My adjuster comes today to perhaps give me the good news. I am crossing my fingers.

Parents also worry that their babies are not pooping enough. A baby eating formula usually has a bowel movement at least once most days. For breastfed infants it depends on age. During the first month of life, stooling less than once a day might mean your newborn isn't eating enough. After that, however, breastfed infants may go several days or even a week between bowel movements, using every drop they eat to make more baby, not poop. Infants normally work really hard to have a bowel movement, so straining at the stool isn't necessarily alarming, even when the infant cries or gets red in the face. For an infant to have a bowel movement is a major effort, and it shows. Just try to poop lying on your back and you'll get the picture. Actually, don't really do that. Imagining it should be enough.For constipation concerns I always come back to the question of how the baby is doing.
These signs can all suggest actual constipation.

Kalona Requesting Large Grant for Park Trail
Posted By News On @ 6:23 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
Kalona is one step closer to getting funds for a trail around the city park. The Cities application for a REAP grant has been approved by the County and will now be sent to the DNR. If Kalona receives the $75,000 grant their requesting, the money will be used for a 1,000 foot long, ten foot wide paved trail around the city park. According to Parks and Recreation Superintendent, Jacob Anderson, 900 feet of this proposed trail would be the start of the Bunker Mill Trail that will go from Kalona to Richmond.

Transmission Mount Bushing Replacement
Here is a short video on replacing the transmission mount bushing.
Tools 15/16"- 1" wrench, 2- 9/16 wrenches for alignment, come along with chains,feeler gauge, 1-2 beers
I noticed my rubber bushing had mushroomed so I purchased some new mounts from inboardonline.com for a cost of $8.61 each so I would have spares. Only needed one as I believe alot of the weight was being taken on the other mount. The culprit was a raised edge on the casting that trashed the rubber bushing. Checking of these mounts should be added to the summerization process.
Here is the video link.

Just as there is a lot of liberal funding that goes into promoting positive and negative campaigns related to liberal positions and includes negative investigations and actions directed at specific conservatives (e.g. billboards set up specifically so that Rush Limbaugh will see them every day as he drives home), there are a number of deep pocket conservatives who are willing to do anything that doesn't actually land them in jail to go after liberals. Clinton was clearly a target of such campaigns. Obama is being targeted as well.
Just as Soros is very open about his support for liberal groups, Richard Mellon Scaife is very open in his use of his billion dollar Mellon family fortune to attack liberals and support conservatives, including multi-million dollar investigations to unearth scandals that could be linked to Clinton. Rupert Murdoch and NewsCorp may be at the center of the largest and most open right wing conspiracy in existence.
Doubtless there would be both liberal and conservative individuals and/or organizations that continually dig around in closets to find the other side's skeletons. OTOH, Slick Willy was his own worst enemy. Kind of disingenuous of him to blame his own bumbles on a conspiracy.Back then, first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton used the term "vast, right-wing conspiracy" to describe how her husband's political enemies were out to destroy his presidency.

The Clinton Global Initiative (http://www.clintonglobalinitiative.org/) can brag of some pretty extraordinary achievements in helping people to help themselves. In conjunction with the extensive effectiveness of Clinton's efforts with Bush Sr. in raising funds for emergency relief, I think Bill Clinton and his family can be proud of what he has done since leaving office. Unfortunately, Reagan's health when he left office limited his ability to be active in the world following his presidency. With younger Presidents there are more opportunities for the extraordinary people who occupy the White House to continue to make contributions to the world. Hopefully Bush Jr, and the Obamas (3-8 years from now) will do the same.
Just because Murdoch has a right leaning news company does that translate into a conspiracy. Should the same be said for CNN, NBC, CNBC, CBS, and almost all major newspapers? Give me a break! You my friend are starting to loose it.
This proud member of the" Right Wing Conspiracy" roots for osama's failure every day. I cannot wait until he leaves office in 2013.

My wife & I live in a republican county of a very republican state (Kansas) and had to wait 90 minutes in line to vote this morning after arriving at 5:50 am, 10 minutes before the polls opened. That's about twice as long as we usually have to wait during presidential years.
Republicans are turning out in huge numbers here. ...Don
Just for the record I have very fine dogs. Some of the best in the whole country....or at least on my own end of the block.
Out of a total of 190 registered voters in our town......90 have already voted at 11 o'clock!!!
Record Turnout Regards,
I saw my local polling place on the early morning news with a line. I waited until 9:00 a.m. because I do not go to work until 1:00 p.m. I walked over to avoid having to park the truck. Crowd had gone, no wait at all. Noon news is predicting 70%+ turn out of registered voters up here. And the bake sale was great, glad I walked.

I ain't voting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
because they won't let me
because I am a Canadian!!!!! and can't vote
Didn't vote in the pole here as this is our first time to vote in Oklahoma. Were went to a small town outside of Tulsa and waited a few minutes, we got there about ten minutes before it opened at 7:00.
Some of the news reports about early voting here say they have had huge numbers compared to other years.
As I was driving into Tulsa going through another small I saw a line going around the building about 8:00 this morning.
There were about 120 people waiting in line outside of the firehouse where I vote (probably another 20 inside) at 7:15 AM. By 9:15, lines were gone and I was able to vote with only about 10-15 people in front of me. It should be crowded again this evening. There are only about 700-800 using this voting place and I suspect turnout will be 80%+.
Jeff Goodwin
We got to the place where we voted and there was a small line, total time it took us was about an hour.....when we left there was only a few people outside in line - was dissappointed to see a couple walk away because the wait was too long <sigh> It would of taken them about 20 minutes if they had waited....

Just wondering but don't you find it weird to vote when "technically" your vote for the prez don't count? It is the electoral votes or whatever they are called that decide it. Like if you live in a red state even if you vote for "blue" it is what the state is that counts. I am by NO means trying to start something here, was just curious!
I come from a place similar to Aarons...
We have 200 registered voters.....30 of which had already voted by 7:15 am.
It is a record turnout for us too.....the line was actually up to 3 people for the one machine we are issued.
Standing in line regards,

By Tiernan Ray
Mobile World Congress ended yesterday in Barcelona with a whimper — suddenly the work crews start coming by the knock down booths, and attendees are directedto the exits, politely but firmly, where the taxi lines form.
In all there was much of the same, with slight variations. The chip battle for both baseband processors and application processors (APU) was intriguing. Bob Rango, executive vice president of mobile and wireless with Broadcom (BRCM) was kind enough to spend a few minutes chatting with me at the company's booth. He was getting ready to head up to Finland to rally the troops at the company's baseband processor operations, which it acquired from Japanese firm Renesas Electronics in October. Remember that this operation used to be the internal baseband business of Nokia (NOK), which at one time, as Rango points out, powered half the phones in the world, at Nokia's peak.
"Carriers all know this baseband, it's already been qualified," he said, speaking to the advantages of the business. Plus, "Compare our Cat4 versus competitors is 25% lower power and and 25% smaller die size," he points out, referring to the current generation of LTE baseband in carrier networks.
On display in the booth, a Samsung Electronics (005930KS) "Galaxy Core LTE" with that baseband, the "M320″ integrated APU-baseband. It's as good as the year-ago Galaxy S4, but cheaper and with more compact electronics. Just fine, because the S4 is now yesterday's news, with the debut of the S5 on Monday, which arrives around the world on April 11th.
Broadcom also was showing off a reference model, really a mock-up of its chips on a circuit board, that vendors and developers can use to prepare for the company's forthcoming "category 6″ baseband chip. It looked rather cool, and as a working phone, it would be fun to imagine carrying the gigantic device around town as some sort retro phone thing. The phone kit was running through a Nokia-Siemens Networks Cat6 LTE base station, which is a sizable and also fun-looking bit of gear.
The continued proliferation of smartphones was enjoyable. I can understand ISI Group's Brian Marshall when he wrote this week that he is having "large-screen smartphone envy."
Among the devices rivaling Apple's (AAPL) iPhone, the industrial design has become more sophisticated. Although some models feel just a bit too large (the HTC 6-inch "ONE Max" comes to mind), in general, larger screen phones are finding ways to minimize the bulk of casing, so that larger screens don't necessarily mean unwieldy gizmos.
Lenovo's (0992HK) 5-inch "Vibe X," running MediaTek (2454TW) chips, and the 5.5-inch "Vibe Z," running Qualcomm (QCOM) processors, both had a nice, easy-to-hold profile. Even the Lenovo S930, at 6-inches, did not feel absurd to hold in one's hand.
All this is obviously subjective, and others will have different responses. I was pleasantly surprised by the "mini" version of HTC's ONE handset. At 4.3 inches in screen size, it's not much bigger than Apple's iPhone 5S. It has the same pleasing metal finish and styling as the ONE, and all-around a nice balance to the weight of it. Certainly one of the nieces I saw at the show.
Another in the roomy-but-sleek category is from Alcatal-onetouch, the global brand for China's TCL Communications for every place outside the China market, the "Idol X," the latest in the idol lineup, at 4.7 inches on the diagonal, which runs MediaTek's 8-core processor and promises to make you some kind of a 4K video author. Alcatel-TCL is 10th in smartphones, according to Strategy Analytics, and appears to be climbing the charts.
Qualcomm were sure to direct me to the "Nubia" line of affordable smartphones from ZTE, and they do seem quite nice. I wasn't sure what to make of their mix of features, but with a focus on "affordable premium," as ZTE calls it, a decent Android smartphone may show up at an increasing number of outlets around the world at a nice price.
Just a stone's throw from ZTE was the Huawei booth, showing the MediaPad X1 7-inch phablet, which it bills as a manageable alternative to having a smartphone and an iPad. See the post earlier in the week for more about that.
Over at Nokia's booth, the wares are just a bit different, as you'd expect, and once again, Nokia finds some of the most interesting and attractive industrial designs. And the colors are quite nice, in my humble opinion. The Asha line of entry smartphones, or perhaps what you'd call high-end feature phones plus, or something, are quite remarkable in how they have incorporated easy access to prominent Internet applications such as Facebook (FB). I did not have enough time to test them out to get a real sense of whether such starter apps are a boon or a frustration for new smartphone owners, but the concept at least seems quite worthwhile.
As far as the new "Nokia X" line of Android phones, I'm not sure about the merging of Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows Phone and Google's (GOOG) Android. The user interface put on these devices is reminiscent of the "Metro" UI on Windows Phone, but only just a bit. Looking closer, it just doesn't seem like Metro for real, and I wonder if it will please anyone, including loyal Metro users and new smartphone buyers. Time will tell.
I swung by the Nvidia (NVDA) booth where I had a chat with marketing executive Sridhar Ramaswamy about all things Tegra. Nvidia had a lower presence here than Qualcomm or MediaTek. The company showed off just one prominent new smartphone win, a French model called the "Wiko Wax," running the company's "Tegra 4i" with integrated baseband. Also on display was the new, follow-on version of Nvidia's own tablet computer, the "Tegra Note 7 LTE," with a cellular connection, for the first time, supporting Category3 LTE networks (upgradeable via software to Cat4.")
I had some fun drawing an elephant on the tablet, as you can see in
the accompanying photo. The stylus technology, developed by Nvidia, uses direction and positioning of the stylus to emulate pressure-sensitivity, allowing one to draw in many different thicknesses. It's as good as anything I've ever used on a Wacom tablet, and simply a joy to work with. The Tegra Note 7 LTE has a suggested retail price of $299.
As far as phones, Ramaswamy reiterated the forecast, outlined last month at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, for the next Tegra, the "K1," to arrive in 64-bit form later this year, following the 32-bit part, which should be showing up in devices in the first half of the year. The 64-bit part brings two very important PC video game technologies to mobile devices for the first time, "OpenGL 4.4," and "Unreal Engine 4.0," both of which will make it possible for the first time for video games to make their debut simultaneously on PC and mobile devices. Ramaswamy said several video game makers have committed to such a simultaneous debut, though he could not disclose which ones.
Ramaswamy pointed out K1′s 192 CPU "cores" will not only boost games but a variety of other functions. "Imagine if you could take a video and in real time stream it to your Ustream account?" he offers. "Or use it for real-time 3-D object recognition — point the camera at something and have the computer tell you what that is, or let you manipulate that object on-screen."
Regarding Tegra Note, as nice as it is, I asked Ramaswamy if its existence was a sign the company was falling behind in the battle to lure tablet vendors to Tegra. Ramaswamy replied that the company "wanted to bring out a showcase for all the capabilities we have, such as the instant HDR [high dynamic range photo taking] ability, the tracking stylus capability."
He added, "We are always working with all these partners [in tablets], and sometimes our respective timelines don't work out well, and maybe they go with other vendors for this or that product."

Tapas, Tapas, Tapas
The Ridgway F. Shinn Jr. Study Abroad Fund will celebrate its 25th anniversary with a wine and tapas tasting on Nov. 15 at the Student Union Ballroom at Rhode Island College.
"It's going to be great," said Carol Reagan Shelton, RIC professor emeritus of nursing. "There aren't that many opportunities on campus for the RIC community to come together collectively and socially. This is an opportunity to do that."
The evening also is an opportunity for RIC faculty and staff to learn more about the Shinn Study Abroad Fund, and its mission to enable RIC students to experience living and studying in another culture.
"For 25 years, the Shinn Study Abroad Fund has given RIC students a wonderful growth opportunity," Shelton said. "We're really trying to highlight what the fund is about and the great contributions it has made to students' education."
The Ridgway F. Shinn Jr. Study Abroad Fund, maintained by the Rhode Island College Foundation, supports undergraduate students in planned study outside the United States. The fund was established during the 1987-1988 academic year by Ridgway F. Shinn Jr., marking his retirement from 29 years of service at RIC as a professor of history, the first chair of the department of history, the first dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and as vice president of academic affairs.
RIC undergraduates in good academic standing are available to apply for grants for a minimum of three months and a maximum of 24 months abroad. Six RIC students are studying overseas this year in Italy, Spain, Costa Rica, Germany, Peru and Guatemala.
To this date, 72 Shinn scholars have studied in 28 countries through grants totaling over $225,000.
The tapas and wine celebration will be held from 5:30-8:30 p.m. and will feature a paella station as well as six more tapas stations and wine pairings. Reservations for the event are $25 per person.
Attendees will have the chance to talk with former Shinn scholars and learn more about the fund. There also will be raffle prizes. Raffle tickets are available for advance purchase at $5 each or $20 for a book from Shinn committee members. Tickets also will be available for purchase at the event.
"We hope this event will really get people interested in the fund," Shelton said. "This fund has helped students from many disciplines across campus. We'd like our faculty and staff on campus to be enthusiastic and encourage students to apply."
