New Study: Smoking and Second Hand Smoke Cause Brain Damage
Jason Mick

A new study shows that smoking tobacco cigarettes, like consuming alcohol, can lead to severe brain damage, though the mechanism is different. The study also suggests that second hand smoke exposure can also lead to brain damage.
(Source: The New York Times)
Perhaps that Guiness World Book Record for most cigarettes smoked wasn't such a good idea, now that the brain damage smoking tobacco causes is known...
(Source: Guiness World Book of Records)
Move over alcohol, brain damage has a new buddy
New research is set to
be published
in the July issue of the
Journal of Neurochemistry
that looks to offer yet another damning medical argument
against smoking
and allowing
second hand smoke
in public locations. The new report finds that Tobacco smoke contains a compound which can cause brain damage.
The new study examined NNK, a procarinogen. NNK is a toxic derivative of nicotine produced when the chemical is cured in preparation for use in cigarettes. NNK is not found in other smoked drugs,
such as cannabis
Before the study it was thought that the compound could be damaging to the body, but it was unclear how damaging it was. In the study, performed by Debapriya Ghosh and Dr Anirban Basu from the Indian National Brain Research Center (NBRC), it was found that the compound caused white blood cells in the central nervous system to attack healthy cells causing severe neurological damage.
Unlike alcohol or other forms of drug abuse, the drug does not impact brain tissue directly via oxidation or receptor damage. Rather, it triggers an inflammatory immunological response that is believed to lead to Multiple Sclerosis and other brain diseases.
Both with in vivo, in mice, and in vitro tests, the researchers discovered that the compound elevated proinflammatory signaling proteins, proinflammatory effector proteins and other stress related proteins, and increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines, which act as molecular messengers between cells. These factors led to increased activity by microglia, the brain's white blood cells responsible for attacking intruders.
The microglia turned on healthy cells, due to the increased level of these compounds. States Professor Ghosh, "Considering the extreme economical and disease burden of neuroinflammation related disorders, it is extremely important from a medical, social and economic point of view to discover if NNK in tobacco causes neuroinflammation. Our findings prove that tobacco compound NNK can activate microglia significantly which subsequently harms the nerve cells.
While most studies have focused on health threats from smoked tobacco, NNK is also present in chewing tobacco, helping make a stronger case against its use. NNK is present in 20-310 nanograms in cigarettes, but is also can be present in concentrations as high as 26 nanograms in smoke filmed rooms. This report adds more evidence that second hand smoke may damage non-smokers' health.
Concludes Professor Ghosh, "This research sheds light on the processes that lead to nerve cell damage in those who smoke cigarettes or consume tobacco products on regular basis."
"There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance." -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer

I think internet4classrooms.com should totally be listed on here. They have a lot of good stuff, plus an interactive summer learning program your kids can sign up to for free! My students and children seem to like it.
Get Ready for Summer! Ideas for Teachers to Share with Families
Reading Rockets has packed a "virtual beach bag" of activities for teachers to help families get ready for summer and to launch students to fun, enriching summertime experiences. Educators will find materials to download and distribute as well as ideas and resources to offer to students and parents to help ensure summer learning gain rather than loss.
The school bell may stop ringing, but summer is a great time for all kinds of learning opportunities for kids. Reading Rockets packed this beach bag full of activities for teachers to help families get ready for summer and to launch students to fun, enriching summertime experiences.
In the beach bag you'll find materials you can download and distribute, but you'll also find ideas for things that you may want to gather and offer to students and parents and for connections you'll want to make to help ensure summer learning gain rather than loss.
In this article:
Ideas for summer learning fun
Check out Reading Rockets' new summer website, Start with a Book. You'll find a treasure trove of themed children's books, parent–child activities, and other great resources for summer learning.
Offer recommendations for active learning experiences. Check with your local department of parks and recreation about camps and other activities. Find out what exhibits, events, or concerts are happening in your town over the summer. Create a directory or calendar of local summer learning fun to share with your students and their families. (Be sure to note any costs involved.)
Encourage parents to build reading and writing into everyday activities. Some ideas to pass along: (1) watching TV with the sound off and closed captioning on, (2) reading directions for how to play a new game, or (3) helping with meals by writing up a grocery list, finding things in the grocery store, and reading the recipe aloud for mom or dad during cooking time. More ideas at PBS Parents (in Spanish, too).
Summer trading cards. Kids can dive deeper into summer reading by exploring characters with the Trading Cards activity from ReadWriteThink, which provides students with the opportunity to expand their understanding of the reading by creating new storylines and characters. A nifty Trading Card interactive tool provides additional support.
Encourage writing. Give each of your students a stamped, addressed postcard so they can write to you about their summer adventures. Or recycle school notebooks and paper into summer journals or scrapbooks. Another way to engage young writers is to encourage your students to spend some time researching and writing community stories — not only does it build research and writing skills, but helps kids develop a deeper sense of place. And check out the pen pal project at Great Schools. Find more good summer writing ideas from Start with a Book: keep a nature journal, create a poetree, share a recipe, or keep a scrapbook of reviews of summer adventures.
Kids blog! Arrange for a safe, closed community so that your students can blog over the summer. Edublogs and Kidblog offer teachers and students free blog space and appropriate security. Free, disposable e-mail accounts are available at Mailinator. Students can create an account there, use the address long enough to establish the blog and password, and then abandon it.
Be an active citizen. Kids who participate in community service activities gain not only new skills but self-confidence and self-esteem. Help them zoom into action! Resources from ZOOM can help them get the most out of helping others this summer.
Real world reading. Newsela builds nonfiction literacy and awareness of world events by providing access to hundreds of leveled news articles and Common Core–aligned quizzes, with new articles every day. The bloggers on The Uncommon Corps are enthusiastic champions of nonfiction literature for kids and young adults, and offer many ideas for integrating nonfiction into the Common Core classroom (or any classroom). For more book ideas to share with parents, check out the Orbis Pictus Award winners — outstanding nonfiction for children, presented by the National Council of Teachers of English. Share these tip sheets with parents (available in English and Spanish): Getting the Most Out of Nonfiction Reading Time and How to Read Nonfiction Text. And don't forget to check out our Nonfiction for Kids section
Active bodies. Active minds. First Lady Michele Obama is leading the national Let's Move initiative — with the goal of raising a healthier generation of children. Let's Move Outside has lots of ideas to help kids get the 60 minutes of active play they need everyday. ilovelibraries has suggestions for staying fit and having fun that start at your local library. This year's theme at the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP): On your mark, get set ... read! At the CSLP website, you'll find a bibliography of children's books, DVDs, and more all about being active
Get into geocaching. Everyone loves a scavenger hunt! Get in on the latest outdoor craze with geocaching, where families search for hidden "caches" or containers using handheld GPS tools (or a GPS app on your smart phone). Try a variation on geocaching called earthcaching where you seek out and learn about unique geologic features. Find more details about geocaching plus links to geocaching websites in this article from the School Family website, Geocaching 101: Family Fun for All, in Every Season. Or follow one young family on their geocaching adventure: Geocaching with Kids: The Ultimate Treasure Hunt.
Watch a garden grow and build research, reading, and writing skills with this summer project from ReadWriteThink. Children are encouraged to write questions and observations in a summer garden journal. Or check out the Kids Gardening website for lots of great ideas and resources for family (and school) gardening.
Make cool things. "Dad, dad, dad, can we make a samurai sword?..." Dad Can Do is a wonderful site full of crafty ideas that bring fathers and kids together. Make a wizard's wand, paper planes, spaceships, ex libris, and quirky things like an origami cowboy shirt (think Woody from "Toy Story") — mostly from inexpensive or recycled materials.
Help parents plan ahead for fall. Work with the teachers a grade level above to develop a short list of what their new students have to look forward to when they return to school. For example, if rising third graders will be studying ancient cultures, suggest that parents check out educational TV, movies, or local museums that can provide valuable background information on that topic.
Ideas for summer reading fun
Make sure kids have something to read during the summer — put books into children's hands. Register with First Book and gain access to award-winning new books for free and to deeply discounted new books and educational materials or find other national and local programs and organizations that can help.
Get your local public library to sign kids up for summer reading before school is out. Invite or ask your school librarian to coordinate a visit from the children's librarian at the public library near the end of the school year. Ask them to talk about summer activities, educational videos, and audio books at the library and to distribute summer reading program materials.
Get to know your community public library better. Find out if your public library is part of the Collaborative Summer Library Program, a grassroots effort to provide high-quality summer reading programs for kids. The theme for 2016 is On your mark, get set ... read! Colorín Colorado has tips for parents in English and in Spanish about visiting the local library. Or check out our top 9 reasons to rediscover your public library.
Let parents and kids know about the free summer reading incentive programs. At Pizza Hut's BOOK IT! program, find out how to Ignite a Summer of Reading.The Scholastic Be a Reading Superhero Summer Reading Challenge encourages kids to log the minutes they spend reading and map their accomplishments. Kids can participate in weekly challenges, earn digital rewards, and enter to win prizes. With the Barnes & Noble Imagination's Destination challenge, your child can earn a free book after reading eight books (and parents receive a summer reading kit full of activities). With the TD Bank Summer Reading Program, kids read and keep track of 10 books and can get $10 added to their Young Saver account.
Help kids build math and science skills over the summer. Share our Literacy in the Sciences series with families. Each one-page tip sheet (in English and Spanish) suggests easy hands-on activities as well as fiction and nonfiction books to extend the learning. In this section you'll also find links to great science websites for kids, blogs about children's science books, and links to PBS KIDS science programs and activities.
Encourage parents to start a neighborhood book club with other families this summer. It's a great way to keep the summer learning social and low-key. Warmer weather can inspire some not-so-run-of-the-mill meeting places, too: a tent or picnic blanket in the backyard. If the book club catches on, it's something to continue throughout the school year. PBS Parents has a wonderful collection of tips on how to start a club and encourage great discussions. Our special education blogger, June Behrmann, shares ideas (and title selections) for starting your own mother-daughter "accessible " book club using print alternatives.
Suggest to parents that they set up a summer listening program which encourages their children to listen to written language. Research shows that some children with learning disabilities profit from reading the text and listening to it at the same time.
Online activities for families
Share examples of good interactive educational websites that parents and young kids can explore together. PBS KIDS Lab offers the newest educational games, activities and mobile apps, for kids PreK to grade 3.There are lots of other quality websites for kids — here are a few more of our favorites:
- National Geographic Kids: Great nature videos, activities, games, stories, and more
- Discovery Kids: Video, games and activities to explore dinosaurs, sharks, space, pets, history and more
- Smithsonian Kids Collecting: how to start your own collection and see what other kids collect
- Explore Dinosaurs: FAQs and top 10 myths about dinosaurs, a virtual dig, behind the scenes tours, and more from the National Museum of Natural History
- NASA Quest: Interactive explorations that engage students in real science and engineering. Topics include robots, helicopters, lunar exploration, and designing your own human-friendly planet
- My Wonderful World: A multimedia tour of our seven continents
- Time for Kids: Fun games (The Great State Race), an online weekly magazine written for kids, and news from around the world
Introduce your students and their families to stories from around the world. Let them know about the International Children's Digital Library, an amazing (and growing!) collection of international children's books available to read online in their original languages. Big Universe is another online library of fiction and nonfiction books for kids 0-12. The site also offers adults and kids the chance to create and publish their own stories.
Suggest audio books as an alternative to print, especially for kids with learning disabilities that make reading a struggle. You can now download stories to iPods and other mobile devices, perfect for car rides or a lazy hot afternoon. Tales2Go offers high-quality kids' books through a mobile streaming service. AudibleKids has an extensive collection of downloadable books, and some of them are free through a partnership with RIF. Find more options for audio books here or browse our list of Favorite Audio Books.
For students with vision or learning disabilities, tell your parents about Learning Ally (formerly Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic), which provides free audio books for kids to listen over the summer. Find lots more ideas and resources for accessible print on the blog, Aiming for Access.
Print and share with parents
Distribute a checklist for parents that provides tips on how to find a great summer program. This one, developed by the National Summer Learning Association, is a good basic resource.
Build background knowledge. Put an article about summer learning in your school or PTA newsletter.
Use books as a springboard for conversation, creativity, and acquiring new background knowledge by sharing the Reading Rockets Reading Adventure Packs with your students' families. These themed packs combine fiction and nonfiction books with simple, hands-on activities that kids and parents can do together.
Give parents a tool to help them promote healthy and balanced media use at home during the summer months. The PACT from the National PTA may help families come up with good screen time compromises. The PTA also offers this helpful article, Hitting the Off Button: How parents can stand up for less screen time at home.
Help parents create a literacy friendly house for the summer (and all year round) with these summer reading resources from Reading Is Fundamental — including booklists, activities, tips, and more to keep kids reading and learning throughout the summer and all year long.
Offer reading reminders to parents with these tip sheets from Reading Rockets available in 11 languages.
Recommend good summer reads that match your students' interests. You might start with our Summer Reading Booklists with suggestions for kids 0 to 9 years old.
Print and share with kids
Promote simple, fun items that support the reading habit. Reading Rockets has created a "Warning! Reading Rocket in Orbit" door hanger in English and Spanish.
Recommend some great summer reads that match your students' interests. Books about summer stuff are fun summertime reads. Download the Reading Rockets summer reading booklists — lots of good suggestions for kids up to 9 years old. Or ask your school or public librarian for an age appropriate reading list.
Some students enjoy doing worksheets while others get very excited about puzzle books and word scrambles, so you might send home a few of these types of activities as an option. Teacher Planet offers loads of links to summer-themed printable activity sheets. And HarperCollins Children's Books has literature quizzes, games, and printables in their Games & Contests section.
Public libraries in 49 states, the District of Columbia, 3 U.S. territories, and a number of U.S. military bases sponsor summer reading programs based on the CSLP theme. Whatever the theme, check your local public, base, or post library to involve your children in reading and activities sponsored by your library. There may even be a summer program for adults!
Another option for avoiding the "summer slide" in reading skills is to remind parents to turn on the captions or the subtitles whenever their kids are watching TV, DVDs, or other videos. Captions help kids learn to recognize more written words and improve their reading speed. For more info on how to turn on captions and where to find captioned videos online, check out our site: http://captionsforliteracy.org!
I like your article - particularly the idea of using everyday tasks (riding a bike to a friends house) to learn time estimates for school work. I am a tutor and do time estimating with my students when we create milestones and plan out long term projects and study times. I did not think to use everyday tasks to help practice. Also, I am linking this article to a blog post I am creating on planner use. www.schoolnuggets.com

Phase one complete at Nordic Ridge Recreation Area
Jon Henke, director of parks, recreation and library, reported to the Crosslake City Council on Monday, Dec. 10, that two miles of trails have been cleared on tax-forfeited property north of the community center.
The clearing completes phase one of the recreation area. The Parks and Library (PAL) Foundation donations covered costs.
Henke reported that the trail will be great for cross-country skiing and will be used throughout the year for non-motorized activities. Ideal Sno Pros will groom the trail this winter, with gas and hourly wage paid by the park department.
The PAL Foundation will start work on a boardwalk that will connect city land with county land in an additional location this summer.
Public safety
Police Chief Robert Hartman reported 163 calls for service for Crosslake in November. Of those, 50 were traffic warnings, 10 traffic citations, two traffic arrests, 17 EMS calls, 10 agency assists, 10 alarms, 10 animal complaints and eight suspicious activity/person/vehicle.
For Mission Township, Hartman reported 42 calls for service in November. Of those, 28 were traffic warnings, two traffic citations, three housewatches and two traffic arrests.
In other business Monday, the council:
• Set a final 2012 meeting for any unfinished business at 2 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 27. Following the special meeting, from 3-5 p.m, will be a farewell gathering for outgoing council members Rusty Taubert and Dean Swanson. Everyone is welcome, and cake and coffee will be served.
• Approved an ordinance amending fence standards in the city. The new ordinance changes regulations for property line setbacks and approves temporary fencing for snow drifts or special events during the winter months.
• Discussed a conditional use permit for property owned by Gordon and Alma Siemers on County Road 3. The permit was extended with conditions.
• Approved enforcement action on the property of Mathias and Teresa Kuker to observe a no-mow zone on their property.
• Agreed to close facilities on Christmas Eve, with the exception of the police department and public works department in case of a snowstorm.
• Approved hiring Leigh Marineau as heavy equipment/sewer operator.
• Heard presentations from both Chris Pence, of Crow Wing County Land Services, and Timothy Bray, engineer from the Crow Wing County Highway Department. Pence explained the county's land use services and procedures, as well as how the department has changed over the years. Bray requested public input from the council and citizens.

I am continuing my 3 3/4" vehicle thread series.
This will discuss ONLY the vehicle in the title of the thread (in this The Rebel Medical Frigate From ESB?).
I will cover several unmade vehicles for the action figures per week, choosing them from a rotating schedule through the movies and the Expanded Universe.
I'll order it TPM, AOTC, ROTS, ANH, ESB, ROTJ, EU, and then keep going back through the order in that manner.
So here I'm only asking you if you'd buy The Rebel Medical Frigate From ESB?
This is one of the craziest offerings Hasbro could ever make for a capital ship. It's probably a very bad idea but I need to poll for it, and try to determine how I'd design it to be as cool as possible.
I started by figuring out what's essential for this ship:
1) It will need clear-stands to support itself. That's the only way. The 12" Collection's Target Exclusive Speederbike was made this way. It can be done. The "whoosh factor" (of a "flyable" ship) is completely lost on the Nebulon-B frigate design - but in defense of that - probably no one "flies" their BMF either. Yes it's more of a playset - but this poll is about vehicles that will at least look like the actual ship from their exterior.
There are 3 key scenes on the Nebulon-B Medical Frigate in the movie and the ship needs to fulfill these (reasons 2 and 3 and 4 follow).
2) In the back of the ship, it's entirety must open (via a side pannel) for at least one big room. Add the POTJ Deluxe Bacta Tank set and a hospital bed for 2-1B to play doctor at, and have the closing pannel feature the big window that Luke and Leia are standing at. Now you can operate on Luke's hand. Also the Nebulon-Bs were widely used by the Empire. Maybe for alternate play you can add the "Build Darth Vader" Deluxe Set to do repairs after big battles like in The Force Unleashed.
3) a boarding tunnel needs to connect to the Millennium Falcon. Unfortunately, I don't see this as being feasible. Certainly not with the BMF which was not designed for it. A retooling and re-release of the 1979 KENNER Falcon mold could include a docking module that replaces the gunner station for just such a use. Sure you could do that with the BMF, but making the Nebulon-B big enough is never going to happen, in my opinion. You might just get away with this with a 6 foot long Medical Frigate stood on clear stands, over the 1979 Falcon.
4) Firing missiles. Every kid loves bright red plastic. In ROTJ, the Nebulon-B was shown defending itself as it broadsides with a star destroyer. Some rotating "Rebel guns" like the blockade runner has could be scaled down and added to the ship.
Probably last on my list, but essential - though not shown in the movie - every ship needs a bridge. A small removeable pannel area in the front could reveal seats for 3 - Tantive IV cockpit style. Rebel troopers and some one made in Madine's style could command this ship.
If you want this vehicle made as well, I think you should describe how you envision it.
So do you want The Rebel Medical Frigate From ESB made?
How do you think it would sell if produced?
What do you think it would cost?
Are you going to buy it / make a space in your collection for it?

They are about $5.00 and I can't be paying that. I need to firgue out what is the best way to make them. I use them on burp cloths and such. Thanks for any tips in advance.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
They are about $5.00 and I can't be paying that. I need to firgue out what is the best way to make them. I use them on burp cloths and such. Thanks for any tips in advance.
It seems to me that any stencil would work. Choose your fabric(s) for whatever shape you want, mark the stencil on the fabric and cut it out. I even use scrapbooking type stencils to get what I want. I would use those shapes for quilting inside squares or whatever. Fuse your cut-outs to whatever you are putting them on and zig-zag around the shapes.
I use coloring book pages. There are lots of them free online.
Agree, color pages..and free from internet..look into teacher aids, color pages. :0)
Sometimes you just have to sit in a chair and jog in order to get anywhere.
I have never bought an applique, always make my own. In fact I just made 4 bowling appliques right before I got on the board. I use clip art alot and coloring pages. Sometimes I will draw it myself.
No one has ever become poor by giving. - Anne Frank
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. - Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have never bought an applique- always make my own. I have used stencils from books, coloring books, copied pictures out of books, and off the internet. I use iron-on fusible- works great.
I use my sizzix for appliques but it is not a cheap machine
This website has a lot of coloring pages: http://www.free-coloring-pages.com/
The alphabet pages have cute motifs for baby items.
Have fun and Happy Quilting!
If you go in to Google 'Images', type in what you want, followed by 'line art', e.g. "dog line art", it will bring up loads of outline images, many of which are suitable for appliqué
Lang may yer lum reek. (I'm a knitter - hence - 'Knit-ette'. Confuses a lot of people!)

Hope men's basketball coach Matt Neil is a finalist for the 2012 John McLendon National Coach of the Year. The John McLendon award, sponsored by the website collegeinsider.com, is presented annually to the head coach encompassing all collegiate levels (NCAA Division I, Division II, Division III, NAIA and JUCO).
The finalists include Tom Izzo of Michigan State. Other finalists are Ken Ammann, Concordia University Irvine; Mike Brey, University of Notre Dame; Horace Broadnax, Savannah State; John Calipari, University of Kentucky; John Cooper, Tennessee State; Jim Crutchfield, West Liberty; Steve Green, South Plains College; Frank Haith, University of Missouri; Marcus Kahn, Cabrini College; Ben McCollum, Northwest Missouri State University; Danny Miles, Oregon Tech;; Pat Miller, Wisconsin-Whitewater; Paul Peck, Lindsey Wilson College and Chad Warner, Shorter University.
A trailblazer and one of the true pioneers of the game, John McLendon became the first African American coach to win an integrated national championship. His team went on to win the NAIA Division I Men's Tournament in 1957, 1958 and 1959, making him the first coach in history to win three consecutive NAIA championships. In 1962 he became the first African American head coach in a major professional league (ABL) with the Cleveland Pipers. In 1966 he became the first African American head coach of predominantly-white university, when he took over the Cleveland State program. He led the team to their best record in school history. In 1969, McLendon was hired by the Denver Rockets and became the first African American head coach in the American Basketball Association.
Neil earlier was named the NCAA Division III Great Lakes District Coach of the Year by the National Association of Basketball Coaches and d3hoops.com. Neil in his first two seasons as coach has led the Flying Dutchmen to back-to-back conference championships and appearances in the NCAA Division III championships. This year's team posted a 27-2 record to improve Neil's two-year mark to 50-9.
The winner will be announced at the CollegeInsider.com awards banquet on March 30 in New Orleans, site of the men's NCAA Basketball Championship.

Summer-Fresh Cherry and Berry Desserts
Ozark Blackberry Cobbler
A sugared crispy pastry covers sweet juicy berries in this traditional dessert from the Monte Ne Inn near Rogers, Arkansas.
Triple Red Berry Dessert Sauce
This easy blender sauce tops ice cream or angel food cake with a gorgeous red berry punch. Look for spreadable fruit in the jam/jelly section of your supermarket. The sauce has just 37 calories for a two-tablespoon serving.
Pink Lemonade Strawberry Shortcake
Pink lemonade concentrate gives a summery twist to classic strawberry shortcake.
Mixed Berry Slab Pie
Floral notes from lemon zest, thyme and honey round out the sweet-tart punch of ripe berries in this creation from Shelly Cross and Jill Long of Madison's Humble Sweet and Savory Pies bake shop. Shelly and Jill have some mad pastry skills; amateurs can get creative, too, with the extra dough.
Raspberry Cheesecake Bars
Layers of cheesecake, raspberry filling, almonds and coconut form dessert bars perfect for summer picnics and potlucks.
Double Berry Cobbler
Handy shortcuts make this recipe a breeze. Cooking the fruit in an oven-safe skillet cuts the bake time (and the number of dirty dishes). Refrigerated biscuits form the simple topper.
Triple-Berry Angel Food Cake
This simple, make-ahead dessert is light and colorful. If you're preparing it for a party, save time by using store-bought angel food cake and making the berry fruit spread the day before. You can substitute some of your other favorite fruits in the sauce, if you like.
Cherry-Berry Smoothie
This quick-and-easy blender drink, from the Michigan Cherry Committee, combines cherries, milk, yogurt, blueberries or raspberries, juice concentrate, honey and vanilla.
Cool tip Blender freeze-ups happen when there's not enough liquid around frozen ingredients. To solve the problem, pour liquids and soft ingredients into the blender first, then add the frozen stuff on top and blend. Still stuck? Pour in some juice or milk, then cover and blend again.
Very Berry Triple Fruit Pie
More than 4 cups of berries make this pie extra juicy. Be sure to let it cool completely before you slice it. And don't forget the vanilla ice cream! The recipe comes from Covered Bridge Farm in Forest Lake, Minnesota.
Pistachio Pavlova with Fresh Berries
Mildly nutty meringue cradles fresh berries in this classic dessert named for a ballerina. Use your favorite nut to flavor the meringue. Our Test Kitchen recommends pistachios, almonds or pecans. Any fruit works: blueberries, kiwi, bananas.
Custard Parfaits with Granola
This recipe makes an easy, fun layered dessert or breakfast . Use fat-free products for rich taste without extra calories. Layer most ingredients ahead, then add the granola and serve.
Chocolate-Raspberry Mousse Cake
Combine raspberries with cake mix and mousse mix for this taste-tempting (and easy) chocolate delight from a Chaska, Minnesota, reader.
Berry Easy Cobbler
This warm, crunch-topped cobbler calls for 3 cups of blueberries, but if you'd like a double-fruit version, reduce the blueberries to 2 cups and add 2 cups fresh or frozen tart cherries.
Berries Romanoff
This easy recipe makes a refreshing dessert-- perfect for a brunch or light dinner. It's also a good make-ahead recipe for entertaining; prepare the sour-cream sauce the day before your party, and then just layer the sauce and fruit in parfait glasses before serving.
Cherry-Berry Rich Shortcakes
Michigan's fruit belt inspired our Cherry-Berry Rich Shortcakes. We played up the sweet cherries grown in the Great Lakes State, along with blueberries and raspberries. A shortcake biscuit base and sweetened whipped cream complete the dessert.
Lemon-Blueberry Biscuits
Lemon yogurt is the secret ingredient in these pretty biscuits. The recipe comes from Natura Farms in Marine on St. Croix, Minnesota.
Blackberry-Pecan Streusel Pie
Precook the juicy, tart blackberry filling before pouring it in the crust. The streusel topping becomes a crunchy sugar-pecan crown.
Berry Pudding Cake
Vanilla cake bakes over fresh blueberries and strawberries for a light, lower-calorie summer dessert.
Double Chocolate-Cherry Cookies
Carol Schneider of Wausau, Wisconsin, brought home a blue ribbon when she entered these cookies at the Wisconsin State Fair. The recipe combines white and semisweet chocolate with dried cherries and walnuts.
Blueberry Almond Bars
This recipe earned the title of Grand Champion at the Marshall County Fair's annual Bake-A-Rama in Plymouth, Indiana. It looks great on a serving platter sprinkled with fresh blueberries.
Michigan Tart Cherry Pie
If you're a fan of classic, not-too-sweet cherry pie, look no further. This is our best one.
Cheesecake-Sauced Fruit Parfaits
Blend just four ingredients to create this easy sauce from a Wausau, Wisconsin, reader. Serve over fresh fruit such as raspberries, blueberries or strawberries.
Strawberry-Walnut Shortcakes
Nuts and orange zest give a crunchy and flavorful twist to this summer classic.
Blueberry Sour Cream Dessert
Use fresh blueberries when in season to make this rich dessert, a cross between a pie and a cheesecake.

Mavenlink is a great project management tool. I've used over 5 project management tools and Mavenlink was one of the most intuitive platforms. It took me a few days to fully understand how to use all of the features, however after diving into the platform, it was extremely easy to use. The team and clients were pleased with the communication and the way deliverables were submitted within the platform. I have successfully managed and completed over 50 projects within Mavenlink.
Pros :
Cons :
When you first see the Liquid Planner interface, it can be overwhelming. There are so many options, and each feature has its own little icon (similar to Microsoft Word), and so it takes some time to wrap your head around. But, once you take some time to go into the features and start creating projects and tasks, it starts to sink in how unexpectedly user-friendly it can be.

Mavenlink is an impressive application and very similar to Smartsheet, with a very short learning curve its an extremely powerful project management tool for business users. Its existing set of features are worthy of a trial for new users or even for those who are looking for an efficient project or task management solution.More about Mavenlink

I think Zoho Projects is an extremely powerful tool for managing projects. The wide range of useful and applicable tools it offers its users are both powerful but at the same time extremely simple to use and navigate. I believe that this web application would be useful for small businesses and project teams. Whether it can handle extremely large project teams is another issue but I think it could quite possibly do the job. Just like all the other applications Zoho offers, this tool has exceeded my expectations and I will quite happily use it in the future. This tool is a prime example of an Enterprise 2.0 tool because of the intergration of many web 2.0 features such as: status updates, RSS feeds, wikis, and so on.More about Zoho Projects

Liquid Planner isn't like other project management software: it's much, much harder to use and has more features than anything I have ever seen out there. This comes at a price—usability is a huge issue with Liquid Planner. Learning it is hard. Using it is hard. Sticking with it is possibly even harder. Online project management became so popular because it was easy. Liquid Planner, on the other hand, wins first place in the category "hardly usable". If you need extra features in terms of project estimates, and want to use it to bill people and kep all of your company's workload under control, then yes, it does make sense.More about LiquidPlanner

Zohoprojects looks good at first however there are some small bugs. More importantly there are MAJOR issues once everything is set up. Unfortunately we had to leave zohoprojects for privacy reasons. Within the project management system as it is currently developed every user can see every comment and task for every other user in the project. We contacted zoho and there is no way of changing this. Our setup currently is we have employees, contractors, managers and clients. As far as zoho is concerned though all of the above make no difference as zohoprojects lets every user even the contractors see EVERY detail of every conversation and tasks between managers and clients. Eventhough there are priviledge roles to prevent users from editing other users tasks they can still view EVERYTHING. Every login or message left, every detail, task, invoice etc generated for every other user. Therefore two completely independent contractors for example could view absolutely everything that is going on with eachother. Absolutely ludicrous. This is certainly a fundamental and very basic requirement which any project manager would expect out of the box. Zohoprojects however seems not to care about it. We contacted them many times about this issue to find a workaround however there is none. We got a nice apology from India but unfortunately that is not enough. This lack of functionality can not be omitted. It is essential. All it needs is a tick box within each project titled "Tick for Assigned users to be able to view tasks and milestones only" In summary: If you are intending to use zohoprojects to manage one or more contractors and employees for your business then DON´?¢T. You could do more damage to your business through this lack of privacy functionality than good if you do. As every project user can see EVERYTHING that everyone else is doing including any login or sensitive information that is posted. There is no way of making any message or task private. Also ALL client information can be viewed by EVERY user also. Zoho does have a solution to client information being visible to all the users which is to set up one project for clients and one for workers. Surely that negates the complete purpose of the system in the first place? All I can say is "It´?¢s a shame". Unless they fix it soon they will certainly lose huge amounts of customers and revenue just the same as they have now lost ours.More about Zoho Projects

I wonder if the Royals would bite on a Wil Meyers for Homer Bailey. He sure would look good in between Votto and Bruce. Plus we have good options in house to replace Bailey.
I wonder if the Royals would bite on a Wil Meyers for Homer Bailey. He sure would look good in between Votto and Bruce. Plus we have good options in house to replace Bailey.
Let the kids play!
He would be the prototype of guy we need. A LF who hits RH and can split up Votto and Bruce however they aren't going to give him up for Homer. Dayton Moore is having a tough time giving him up on Matt Moore or Jeremy Hellickson. Those two are cost controlled for atleast 4 more years and have had atleast similar success to Homer (except for a no hitter). They are younger, cheaper and most importantly probably better.
The Royals would be crazy not to jump on Wil Myers for Matt Moore. I can't imagine why the Rays would be interested in that. Hellickson is another matter.
Great Talent... A bonafide .300/30/100 Threat...
I'd say anyone other than Hamilton... They Royals want Pitching so you're probably looking at Tony Cingrani and I'd pull the trigger.
I'd wager if KC trades him it'll be for ML proven pitching. They do line up with Tampa pretty well, actually.
It'd probably take Bailey + Cingrani/Corcino, if not a little more.
Bailey for Myers would be a classic Jocketty trade. Then use the money saved from Homers contract to add a closer and move Chapman to the rotation. All that would be left is a leadoff hitter and beefing up the bench.
I like how my idea got stolen by the untouchables.......come up with your own stuff hacks

Assignment: Education - Student Assistance Program
Fighting Mental Illness in our Schools
ONALASKA, Wis. - The halls of most high schools are filled with students who are balancing classes with their personal lives while also planning for their future. It's the job of school counselors like Beth Gamoke to help students maintain the balance.
"So, we deal with all three of those aspects with all of our kids," said Gamoke. "The academic piece. It's a big part of our day with scheduling and keeping track of their credits and what not. To the career piece. What do you want to do post secondary? Military, work, some kind of schooling? And then the personal social piece. I'm having a bad day. Boyfriend/girlfriend issues."
But sometimes a student's personal issues need more attention than what a school counselor is trained to provide.
"We know where our training is kind of pushed to the limits because we're not trained as therapists," said Gamoke.18523126
Now, with the help of the new Student Assistance Program at Onalaska High, school counselors can refer students to a professional therapist if they need additional help coping with personal problems.
"The program is modeled a lot after an employee assistance program where an employee can access some free services depending on what's going on in their personal life," said Gamoke. "And so it's very similar where a student can access up to five free sessions, and they're offered here at school. So, it's really breaking down barriers."
"There's always somebody here and available," said Ted Stein, president of Stein Counseling in Onalaska.
Stein has partnered with the Onalaska School District to provide a trained therapist at the high school once a week for three hours a day. The partnership has improved access to this type of treatment for students who may not otherwise have the resources.
"Having somebody here where we've allocated hours specifically to that means that they're going to get seen much more quickly," said Stein. "And hopefully we can prevent some tragedies from happening."
So far, the program has been well received. Stein counseling has provided services to 10-12 students at the high school so far this year, and there is a waiting list for students to be seen.
"I think, for a lot of student,s having somebody else that really understands what they're going through is really key," said Gamoke.
"I do think this is really innovative and cutting edge," said Stein.

Name Confusion
Of course, we're not trying to imply that everything should be part of Arduino. If you want to create your own project, go for it. All we're asking is that you let us keep an eye on what happens to ours.We're in the process of opening up our hardware designs and production files; I hope to have more to say on that soon.
... another of our goals is to promote hardware designed by other people: helping to manufacture it, distributing it, supporting it with the Arduino software, and so on.

Getting restarted
I quit in the middle 80's for a variety of reasons:
crowds too large in Missouri's state parks
not enough time because of work and family
other interests
Well since I'm retiring in June and the need to spend time with family is not as great, I've been getting the bug to take up fly-fishing for trout again.
I've bought an upgraded rod/reel combo from what I have still sitting in the closet. FWIW, I bought a SAGE Launch with a Ross reel and SA fly line. I'm happy with the choice but one thing that's hit me is that the price of everything has gone up dramatically over the years.
Can someone give advice on waders of the stocking foot variety? I am not that cheap and am considering Simms products (L2) but is it really worth spending that much on something that's going to wear out in 4 or 5 years? Also, is it possible to put some type of hiking boot over the neoprene stockings to hike to your destination? I'd like to save the felt boots for actually fishing the water.
Also, if anyone has info on fishing these rivers in Missouri: Meramec, Current, and North Fork...I'm all ears. I'm not above occasionally fishing the trout parks but am interested in a bit more solitude.
Sage waders are worth the money because they won't necessarily wear out in 4 or 5 years. If you take care of them they will last much longer than that. And in case you do have a problem with them, the money is also well spent because of the warranty that comes with them.
I can't help you out with the rivers that you're asking about, but welcome back to the sport. Have fun.
No doubt fun is what it's really all about.
Guessing that you meant Simms
Waders. They sure do have their fans. But it does look like there are other companies out there..LLBean...Albright.... that might be worth looking at and was hoping that someone who has been able to compare Simms to these companies that also seem to have breathable/Goretex products might be able to tell me what they think. BTW, I still haven't ruled out the Simms waders, though.
Yes, I meant Simms waders....brain cramp near the end of the week.
I've also owned LLBean, Hodgeman, and Orvis waders. LLBean and Orvis also have great warranties for their products, but I am one of many people who will tell you to stay away from Hodgeman. Too many bad experiences with the products and service.
I love my Orvis breathables in the Guideweight style. Low maintenance, comfortable, and less expensive than Simms.
But take this all with a grain of salt; as you probably know, everyone has an opinion regarding certain pieces of equipment, and waders fall into that category.
Thanks, Mark. Interesting comment about Hodgeman. Back in the 60's 70's and early 80's their canvas bootfoots were durable, comfortable, and favored where I used to fly fish. Companies change I guess.
Yes, it does seem that folks have their brand loyalties no matter what hobby is discussed and your advice to take some of this with a grain of salt is well taken. Will look into the Orvis per your suggestion.
I'm a big fan of LL Bean waders - and their customer service couldn't be better. I called there Fly fish hotline once to get some advice about how best to fix a slow leak in a pair of waders I had had for 7 years - they said just send them to us and within a week I had a new pair.
Customer service that makes the customer feel guilty.
On the whole I'd say that money spent to increase your comfort and allows you to fish days you other wise wouldn't is money well spent.
I'm very happy with my Orvis Silver Label waders. They've done everything I've asked of them. Everybody has their opinion as you said. Simms has a group of die hard fans, but for how much they cost, I hope to god they perform well! To me it's like asking whether a top end rod is worth the money. Sure, it may perform slightly better than the rod available for half the price, but is it going to perform twice as good? I don't think you can go wrong with mid-priced Orvis or LL Bean products, and the customer service can't be beat.
As for your question about wearing hiking boots instead of the wading boots, why? How long a hike are you talking about? I've worn my wading boots for hikes approaching several miles on some pretty difficult terrain and they've done fine and I haven't done any damage to them. I don't see any problem with wearing hiking boots instead and changing before you wade, but I don't really see the point unless you're hiking a long way, and then I wouldn't be wearing the waders until I got to the water anyway. The last thing you want to do is tear a $200 pair of waders while you're hiking through the woods.
My passion for catching fish is eclipsed only by the fish's passion not to be caught.
I probably would be hiking no more than 2-4 miles per day. Some of it would be over fairly difficult terrain but not much. Years ago, I used to put my waders, fishing gear, food, water etc. and hike up to mountain lakes in Colorado but it was exhausting and I was a fairly young man then...so, I'm not interested in any real long treks.
I just got the impression that wading boots are fairly fragile....they certainly look fragile to me...have read that they are not that easy to replace the felt soles etc.....so, I thought it might not be a bad idea to save them for fishing situations. It appears that you think otherwise.
I appreciate your time, advice, and perspective in responding to my post.
With everything you say that matches my suspicions, , I'm not sure either that you get 1and half to 2x the value for the corresponding cost by going to a top of the line Simms wader as opposed to a mid priced LLBean or Orvis product. I am considering the Simms L2 which is their midpriced wader, btw.
Thanks again for your advice, Teflon.
...put all that stuff into a backpack for clarification ...(quite a load)

General Motors joins furniture manufacturers and others seeking damages for what they claim is a long-running foam price-fixing conspiracy.
GM filed its 62-page complaint in eastern Michigan's federal court and asked for a jury trial.
Many of GM's lawsuit defendants are the same as for a series of complaints filed earlier this year by Northeast Mississippi furniture manufacturers.
These and other similar lawsuits were transferred to be handled before a multi-district federal court in northern Ohio.
From at least January 1999, GM claims, the defendants and others conspired to fix, raise and maintain prices for polyurethane foam in the U.S. and elsewhere in North America.
GM also claims it purchased "billions of dollars" of auto seat systems, seat covers, headliners etc. containing this foam.
It asks for damages, including three times damages, its costs and attorneys' fees and other costs under Michigan's Antitrust Reform Act, as well as the federal Sherman Act and the Clayton Act. It also wants the court to stop any other such behavior.
GM filed its lawsuit in Michigan, where it has its headquarters.
The international corporation said it did not discover the alleged conspiracy until 2010 with disclosure of raids on some defendants' facilities by U.S., Canadian and European authorities.

An adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) is a mortgage loan with an interest rate that can adjust up or down at certain intervals based on a current index (commonly the 1 year T-Bill) plus a preset margin. ARM loans were invented and first used in the early 1980's when the Prime Rate was 21% and mortgage rates were in excess of 10%. ARM loans helped many people to purchase a home because the low interest rates allowed more affordable monthly mortgage payments. Even with the low interest rates today there is a still a place for ARM loans.

Focus on Funds
Morning Read: Oil Hits Six-Month High, Miners Ready to Reverse
Market check: The price of oil reaches a six-month high as United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon pleads for a diplomatic solution in Syria, while Obama administration sources tell the Washington Post they've got intelligence detailing how Syrian government forces stored, assembled and launched a chemical-weapons attack outside Damascus last week. U.S. stock futures are flat but emerging markets are suffering again, Japan's Nikkei 225 slumped 1.5% in overnight trading. The price of gold is fractionally higher, at $1,425. Meanwhile, at least some of yesterday's pain in the gold-mining sector looks ready to reverse. The surge in market worry over Syria yesterday lifted gold in its wake, boosting SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), but miners such as those in Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) couldn't follow. The likely culprit: Sharply higher oil prices. Mining is an energy-intensive business and a swift change in oil is likely to reverberate through traders' assessment of the sector. But this morning the leveraged mining ETF Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 3X Shares (NUGT) is one of the top gainers, rising 5.7%.
Fund watch: Watch out, utility-fund owners. Morningstar's Alex Bryan runs through six decades of data to find that, yes, in periods of falling interest rates, it does appear investors tend to pile into dividend-rich swaths of the stock market to make up ground in their yield-parched portfolios. Then, when rates rise and the number of yield-friendly options expands, they dump those dividend-paying utility and consumer-staples stocks, as they've been doing lately. It would be bad news for SPDR Select Sector Utilities Fund (XLU) and utility-heavy ETFs like PowerShares S&P 500 Low Volatility Portfolio (SPLV).
In the news: Chewing over the role of "cloud computing" in hedge funds.
In case you missed it: Companies in the Barron's 400 index are scoring worse on their financial-health metrics lately, in large part because their stocks have performed so well, writes John A. Prestbo.

Book Review | Adieu 2012 … ending the year with 'The Pondicherry Kitchen' book review
"Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come,
Whispering 'it will be happier'…"
Alfred Tennyson
Wrapping up a season is hard enough, wrapping up a year seems unreal. How time has flown. 2012 certainly passed in a heartbeat. I'm still trying to catch my breath.
I blogged lots. About things I enjoyed. Food. Travel. Events. People. Lots of colour too. Lots of food events that were so worth the while. So much happened in 2012. On top of the list was the Delhi Bloggers Table, loads of fun at Olive with Saby, events, the Aussie Masterchefs, reviews, some great, some not so … but a wonderful learning experience.
Then again, I didn't have time to blog about lots more that I made. Just didn't seem to get organised enough to post. Some stuff was so worth it. There was baking … plenty! Wish I had time to share everything.
Then there was cooking too … loads of it! Curries, pastas, wraps, grills, stir fries, no bake desserts. You might have enjoyed these as well. It's strange how when something comes out really nice, I first think of the blog. 2012 saw loads of chocolate at PAB. LOADS.
This was something I really enjoyed! There was some I didn't get to share. Hopefully this new year shall be better. We hung onto the wings of time, hoping it would slow down a bit, but as usual it left us breathless. 'Us' as in everyone and their friends that I speak too. We look at 2012 in a sense of disbelief. HUH? Gone? Already? What?
As always, I had loads more to do, but somewhere along the way social media grabbed chunks of time with both hands. I fell off twitter for a bit and got consumed by FaceBook. I had vowed that I would weigh my time carefully when I decided to cut back on my twitter addiction. Out of the frying pan, into the fire … I love FB though!
I had many things to do before the year ended. Loads didn't get done. This book review was important for me as I missed the book launch at the French Ambassadors residence as I was busy that evening.
The Pondicherry Kitchen is as interesting as it sounds. It's a quaint unassuming book with recipes that offer a peep into a cuisine less known. I haven't heard of some of the recipes; a deep South Indian influence in the ingredients used. There aren't too many photographs to go by, the few that are there don't do full justice to the recipes within.
The Pondicherry Kitchen – Traditional recipes from the Indo-French territory by Lourdes Tirouvanziam -Louis
The coastal town of Pondicherry has seen the influence of a host of cultures, and it's not surprising that its cuisine reflects this history. A fragrant potpourri of flavours, primarily from the Tamilian kitchen and—resulting from three hundred years of occupation by those universally acknowledged gourmands—the French, the food here also reflects eclectic borrowings from Indian, Moghul, French, Portuguese and Malaysian cooking. In The Pondicherry Kitchen, Lourdes Tirouvanziam-Louis captures the unique culinary heritage of the town. Several years of research—digging out old recipes, collecting the culinary secrets of senior people, sourcing foodlore that has been transmitted orally through generations— have coalesced in this book, and the delicious recipes in it. Spiced with anecdotes that give an insight into the culture, The Pondicherry Kitchen is a wonderful, easy-to follow cookbook.
It was natural choice for me to reach for the pages with rasam, a warm starter or soup, that is one my husband loves. It's been years since I've found an authentic
good great recipe. This one left us longing for more. Perfect for the season, a hearty clear soup which is lentil based and has the kick of the Indian spice box!
Red chilies, curry leaves, tamarind, asafoetida … all these come together to treat the palette in a robust way. The last I had a soup or rasam as good as this was when my sister visited from the US 5 years ago. She made it for Mr PAB, one that he remembers to date. This was as good. It's a spicy adult lentil based clear soup, and would need to be toned down a bit for kids. {It serves a hearty 4 rather than the 6 as the recipe says}.
Tomatoes are in abundance this season, the next recipe I reached for was this tomato chutney. I have never made one with golden fried onions and the recipe had me quite intrigued. Once again it didn't disappoint. Bursting with flavour and colour, this is a great chutney to compliment an India meal. Goes well with idli, dosas, rice and with most Indian dishes; a lovely change from the regular chutney.
My experience from the book was all good. It embodies everything Indian cuisine sets out to do … adds colour, delights the palette, is made from natural easy to source ingredients, and has the little story or connect thrown in here and there.

China's solar stocks have had an amazing start to the year, and their gains have ranged from big–Trina Solar's (TSL) 42% jump–to absolutely huge–Canadian Solar (CSIQ) 249% surge.
Yet solar stocks still face a big problem: overcapacity. Raymond James analyst Pavel Molchanov and team write:
This is still an industry where global production capacity (50-60 GW) exceeds global demand (33 GW is our 2013 forecast) by more than 50%. Typical gross margins have recovered from break-even levels to the mid single digits in 2Q13 and may improve further to the high single digits in the second half, but this is still not enough for operating income to turn sustainably positive for a typical pure-play manufacturer. So these are emphatically not happy times – just less dreadful than the second half of 2012.
Chinese solar stocks are mixed today. While Yingli Green Energy (YGE) has gained 5.2% to $3.45 and ReneSola (SOL) has jumped 4.3% to $2.44, Canadian Solar has dropped 0.6% to $11.73 and LDK Solar (LDK) has fallen 1.4% to $1.38.
Yingli's gotten a boost from a deal to supply solar modules in Malaysia, while ReneSola is reporting that upgrades to its factories have cut production costs, PVTech reports:

In an earlier post's comments, a reader asked about some paving which had been installed on the new cycle path on the inner ring road, commenting that it looked dangerous. Having not seen the paving, I at first assumed that the commenter meant the tactile paving which is used at the start and end of cycle paths to indicate the nature of the path to visually impaired pedestrians. My wife then mentioned some new paving on the edge of the McMullen Road cycle path which sounded similar and which wasn't tactile paving, so I went to have a look.
The paving is block paving, with some blocks protruding almost an inch in a staggered pattern.
The paving fills the gap between the cycle path and the road, where it moves away from the edge of the road to avoid a telegraph pole.
To me, it looks like it is intended to prevent cyclists from attempting to merge with traffic pulling out of McMullen Road and instead to direct them towards using the pavement to either join Haughton Road heading into town, to cross Haughton Road and then proceed along either the road or the Riverside Path, or to cross McMullen Road and use the riverside path towards Mill Lane. However, there are no markings to indicate that this is the case.
My advice for anone heading down McMullen Road on the bike path who wishes to join the road traffic on Haughton Road would be to make use of the box junction just visible in the first photo, or the one slightly further up McMullen Road, to access McMullen Road while the traffic is stationary and then to proceed as normal. If you wish to access either of the off-road paths, use the pedesitrian crossings to do so, taking care to avoid other users.
It is possible to ride over the paving (I tried) but only at very slow speeds. Not recommended!

Paving by the McMullen Road cycle path

That called good renovation, Because Now Cycle users may have run their cycle on this path as well. I like most stone which was used for this paving.

Topic: Off for 2 DAYS
I almost forgot, I am so excited. My bro is turning 70 Friday, he is 3 years younger than me. But I won't hold that against him! He chose to spend a week out here in Phoenix where it's supposed to be 110o the whole week! He is coming with his GF, 3 of his 5 boys, plus my Sister and her husband from Vegas. He is treating us to our rooms at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort AND a Massage! The first 2 dinners are also his treat. How nice is my BRO? Oh and my Robin and her BF and 2 of our boys who came in to see Uncle Barry. Come on, would you have said no? I will be gone Fri at noon and be back Sunday evening so save the gossip for me. I hope you all have a great weekend.
Any suggestion I offer is intended as friendly advice based solely on my own experience. Please consult your doctor for professional guidance.


text: So this is what it has come to? An administration who watches our men get killed on foreign soil and does nothing to help them is now using the IRS to harass political groups they consider enemies? And they openly admit it? And the country gives a collective yawn. Jesus.


text: I heard part of a song not long ago, I didn't hear it all and wanted to download it, but I don't know the title or the guy singing it. I was wondering if some of you have heard it and may know it. It starts of with a military cadence that goes something like this: I don't know why I left, but I must have done wrong, but it won't be long till I get on back home. That was how it started, I don't know the rest. I believe it may fall in the category of country music. Any help would be much appreciated.
