Since I knew all of them, I was able to talk one of them out of his extra Luke/Mara pack. They all look great by the way!!! I'm very impressed with this line and am glad that it will continue for a bit longer.

Istat suggests to add the following sub-process as number 3.3.
3.3. Build or enhance dissemination components - This sub-process describes the activities to build new and enhance existing software components needed for the dissemination of statistical products as designed in Phase 2 (Design; in particular, 2.1 Design outputs).
Components may include statistical data warehouses, open data, Microdata Files for Research, Public Use Files and any other information output.
Istat suggests to join former sub-processes 3.3 and 3.4 into sub-process number 3.4.
3.4. Configure and test production system - This sub-process configures the workflow, systems and transformations used within the statistical business processes, from data collection, right through to archiving the final statistical outputs. It ensures that the workflow specified in sub-process 2.6 (Processing system and workflow) works in practice.
This sub-process is also concerned with the testing of computer systems and tools. It includes technical testing and sign-off of new programmes and routines, as well as confirmation that existing routines from other statistical business processes are suitable for use in this case. Whilst part of this activity concerning the testing of individual components could logically be linked with sub-process 3.2 (Build or enhance process components), this sub-process also includes testing of interactions between components, and ensuring that the production system works as a coherent set of components

text: A sad day for me! You all know how much I enjoy snowmobiling. It all went out with a bang yesterday. We had two great tours to end it off though! Friday was fantastic. Still lots of snow but it got pretty soft towards the end of the day. However we still did the regular route to the top of Hodges, through Peace Valley, back-country chalet, Monica Bog and out. We only had one small brook go out on us which wasn't a big deal. It was over 20 degrees and we were riding with shirts or thin jackets on. On the way back out to greet Saturdays tour (my family was spending Easter in the back-country chalet) it was clear the snow was going to take a beating that day. I met the group, drove to the top of Hodges and looked down on Peace Valley (where I passed just 2 hours before with very little slush evident) and saw that the whole valley was filling up with water. It looked like fun to me and after consulting with the group, we decided that we would take the fun route….through Peace Valley where we normally go. Keep in mind the water was not deep and the group was very interested at learning what this "skipping water" was all about. It was a laugh! I would go through first on my wide track which cleared the slush which filled in with water and the group, one by one would follow. Out of the group there was only one guy who had skipped water before so it was a wonderful learning experience for them all as they found out the true capabilities of them and their machines. I think when it came to the Peace Valley portion of the trip we did more sea-doing than ski-dooing with no incidents and no-one getting stuck. All arrived to the back-country chalet with-out incident. One exception actually…a brand new floater coat got sucked into the suspension and torn to shreds. In hindsight we all had a good laughat that. The temp at the chalet was nearly 20 degrees and sunny…a beautiful day and it was hard to leave. We had lots of water skipping up to the higher country again with one ski doo getting stuck which only took a few minutes to get out. There is till lots of snow on the back-country roads, over 2 feet for much of it. I was in for a ride this morning. With these higher temps though, it won't last long. Now its a waiting game until enough snow is melted off the tracks to get to the Gaff Topsails where I hope to get another couple weeks. Other than that, my cousin and I are heading to the West coast for some playing soon. As you all know I am very grateful for all the snowmobilers who rode and toured with us this year and I thank you all. I make so many freinds with this business..how lucky am I at all? Now the only thing I have to do is prevent that pit that is proposed for just upstream of us. Please visit savetheexploitsriver.ca for more details. See you all next year and even this summer for most of you.

ean Little's most recent book, The Sweetest one of all, is a picture book for very young children and their parents. In it, barnyard animal babies ask their mothers who they are and each of them is told that he or she is the sweetest one of all. The book ends with a human mother telling her little one the same thing. And getting a loving hug in response. The playful text should continue to delight both children and adults even after many readings.
The colourful illustrations by Marisol Sarrazin are endearing and filled with lively detail. Each will hold small readers spellbound.

Attends Breathable Bariatric Briefs have a lightweight and breathable outer covering with a soft cotton feel. The briefs are "whisper quiet" for discreet wearing and promote healthier skin with side panels that allow increased air circulation. Attends' innovative tape system, comfort flex tabs, and the core construction keep the brief comfortably snug and reliable. The new material is softer and more flexible than the original plastic fabrics. Attends' new hook and loop fastening system is flexible and can be attached anywhere on the brief. The fasteners are removable and can be refastened, eliminating ripped plastic back sheets.
Attends' SDO® Skin Wellness, Dryness, Odor Control
SDO is the key for delivering Skin Wellness, Dryness and Odor Control. Any time you see this SDO icon you know that product has the unique Attends® technologies in place to create the healthiest possible skin environment.
Skin Wellness
Problem 1: Skin redness, rashes and bedsores are often caused by urine creating a wet environment next to the skin in collaboration with certain bacteria and enzymes.
Attends Solution: Attends� Perma-Dry® fibers in the absorbent core of the product rapidly channel urine away from the skin surface into the absorbent core. The unique design of the core provides increased resiliency and continues to function even after multiple voids.
Problem 2: Typical healthy skin has a pH ranging from 4.2 to 5.6. At this range skin has the ability to inhibit bacterial growth of foreign, pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Fresh urine typically has a pH range of 5.0 to 8.0 with variations due to diet, illness, and medications. Over time the pH of discharged urine on or near the skin will begin to drift upwards on the scale. The higher the pH the faster the bacterial growth will occur.
Attends Solution: Attends� Perma-Dry fibers provide three beneficial effects:
Problem: Excess moisture on the skin surface can lead to skin maceration (pruning of the skin) which breaks down the skin�s barrier properties. This can lead to the development of perineal dermatitis or pressure ulcers (skin breakdown).
Attends Solution: Attends with Perma-Dry rapidly channels the wetness away from the skin, pulling the wetness to the lower absorbent core more quickly.
Odor Control
Problem: The odor of incontinence often leads to embarrassment for both the nursing home and the incontinent person. Odor is caused by certain bacteria and the build up of ammonia as a result of increased pH.
Attends Solution: By reducing the pH of the urine that has entered the absorbent core, the Attends product retards the development of the bacteria and ammonia that lead to increased odor. Other manufacturers attempt to achieve pH reduction through the use of absorbent polymers (SAP or AGM), claiming they reduce urine pH levels. These products do have the ability to reduce pH of urine somewhat, but NOT to the same degree that Attends with Perma-Dry does. Only Attends reduces urine pH to levels that are consistent with the pH level of skin!
Rapid Lock System®
Technological innovation designed with a unique combination of materials that provide superior performance and leakage control:
These briefs feature breathable side panels that allow more air flow for drier, healthier skin, but still have a moisture-proof lining along the center of the brief to prevent leakage. They also have a soft, cloth-like covering for quiet confidence.
Comfort Flex-Tabs
These tabs are made to attach to the cloth-like covering on our Breathable Briefs. They are not sticky tape tabs; instead they use a hook-and-loop type refastening system. They are soft, flexible, and can refasten anywhere on the brief.
Easy-Fit Tapes
Innovative 3-piece refastening system allows repositioning of the tape tabs without tearing the brief.
Latex Free
ALL Attends Healthcare products are Latex Free.

Attends Bariatric Briefs are shipped in a discreet outer shipping case for customer privacy and dignity.

A Step From the City
Sunset Boulevard snakes up the Santa Monica Mountains, winding away from the Pacific Coast Highway. Among the wild-haired palms and tall evergreens, the small community of Pacific Palisades is tucked back into the landscape overlooking the water.
Just a 25-minute drive west of bustling Los Angeles, the roughly 27,000 residents here carve out a more laid-back existence than one naturally associates with nearby Hollywood. "We're a close neighborhood. It feels like a small town," says resident Judy Perr. In 2005, her husband, Tim, and his business partner (also a Palisades local) formed Pali Wine Co., a vino enterprise named after the community, with varietals inspired by their surroundings.

Good news for blind people - Singapore Eye Research Institute and ASTAR's Genome Institute of Singapore identify genes for central corneal thickness
Singapore: Scientists at Singapore Eye Research Institute and A*STAR's Genome Institute of Singapore have succeeded in identifying genes for central corneal thickness that may cause potentially blinding eye conditions. These eye conditions include glaucoma, as well as the progressive thinning of the cornea, which may eventually lead to a need for corneal transplantation.
The authors jointly led a multi-center study involving 55 hospitals and research centres around the world. They performed a meta-analysis on more than 20,000 individuals in European and Asian populations. Their findings were published in the prestigious science journal, Nature Genetics.
Central corneal thickness (CCT) is associated with potentially blinding eye conditions such as keratoconus, a condition where the cornea progressively thins and takes on a more conical shape that may eventually require transplantation. CCT has an estimated heritability up to 95 percent and may determine the severity of one's glaucoma and assist eye doctors in identifying patients with high risk for progression. In fact, it is one of the leading causes of corneal transplantation worldwide.
The Singapore team has had remarkable success identifying the most CCT-associated loci to date prior to this collaborative world-wide effort, by identifying six distinct genetic loci in two papers published in 2011 and 2012 via sample collections involving Singaporean Chinese, Indians, and Malays, as well as Beijing Chinese. However, none was found to be associated with common eye diseases like this study has now shown. Overall this new study identified a total of 27 associated loci, including six for the keratoconus.
These observations suggest that most of the CCT-associated loci identified from populations of European descent are shared with Asian populations. These findings show that Singapore is well placed globally in eye and genetics research in finding causes for sight threatening conditions. Eye doctors can in the future through genetic analysis better manage such patients, preventing regression of their conditions.

Otosclerosis is an abnormal bone growth in the middle ear that causes hearing loss.
Otospongiosis; Stapedectomy
The cause of otosclerosis is unknown. However, there is some evidence that it may be passed down through families.
People who have otosclerosis have an abnormal sponge-like bone growing in the middle ear. This growth prevents the ear bones from vibrating in response to sound waves. Such vibrations are needed in order for you to hear.
Otosclerosis is the most common cause of middle ear hearing loss in young adults. It typically begins in early to mid-adulthood. It is more common in women than in men. The condition may affect one or both ears.
Risks for this condition include pregnancy and a family history of hearing loss. Caucasians are more likely to develop this condition than people of other races.
A hearing test (
A special imaging test of the head called a temporal-bone CT may be used to look for other causes of hearing loss.
Otosclerosis may slowly get worse. The condition may not need to be treated until you have significant hearing problems.
Medications such as fluoride, calcium, or vitamin D may help to slow the hearing loss, but the benefits have not yet been proved.
A hearing aid may be used to treat the hearing loss. This will not cure or prevent hearing loss from getting worse, but it may help relieve some of the symptoms.
Surgery to remove part of the ear (stapes) and replace it with a prosthesis can cure conductive hearing loss. A total replacement is called a stapedectomy. Sometimes only part of the stapes is removed and a small hole is made in the bottom of it. This is called a stapedotomy. Sometimes a laser is used to help with the surgery.
Otosclerosis gets worse without treatment. Surgery may restore at least some of your hearing. Pain and dizziness from the surgery usually go away within a few weeks.
To reduce the risk of complications after surgery:
If surgery does not work, you may have total hearing loss. Treatment then involves developing skills to cope with deafness, and using hearing aids to transmit sounds from the non-hearing ear to the good ear.

On a day when almost nobody was trading, the major benchmarks eked out record highs anyway, behind gains in E.I. Du Pont De Nemours (DD), Caterpillar (CAT) and Walt Disney (DIS).
The S&P 500 rose 0.3% to 1,833.32 today–its 43rd record high this year–while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.4% to 16,357.55–its 49th record high in 2013–as E.I. Du Pont De Nemours rose 1.7% to $63.83, Caterpillar advanced 1.1% to $90.91 and Walt Disney finished up 0.8% at $73.83 after giving CEO Bob Iger a pay cut and adding a new board member–Twitter (TWTR) Chairman Jack Dorsey. Just three Dow components–Goldman Sachs (GS), Pfizer (PFE) and United Health Group (UNH) finished in the red.
Despite the gains, it could have been so much more, as today featured two "blowout numbers" that got little response, says Citigroup's Steven Englander. He explains why that could be good news for risky assets come 2014:
Both durable goods and new home sales were well above expectations. Core durable goods were up 4.5% m/m in November and revised up in October. To put in perspective the highest market estimate was 2.0% m/m…Net, net new homes sales for Q4 so far are 6% higher (not annualized) than where the market expected they would be.
Market reaction…very little excitement…
The reason – liquidity and market interest are both close to zero. Thursday should not be much better. There is a small chance of some catch up on Friday or Monday, possibly in Asia, but with most investors now focused on 2014, it may be January 2, 3 or even January 6 before active trading resumes. But with such good data and so little reaction, the New Year may start with a bang.
Consider that a thought to keep your portfolio warm at night.Happy Holidays.

I guess it is now obvious that the Panaview was moving from left to right, doing rows from bottom to top, instead of columns which is default. Now just tune the speed of the shots (6 xec) to the speed of walking and I got multiple snaps of several people. Next time, maybe I will try to maximize this part of the pana. Tom G

It is just after midnight, but I need to get into here what happened the next Monday at work. I posted an email to <foo>@valinux.com with a subject line of "I bought me a car!". I got some good responses, here is a summary:
(oops, 36 emails in that thread, have to cut it down some)
Kevin Collins: Dragan said: "Why the hell would anyone buy a car like that?", He doesn't understand the lure of a 63 Lincoln with suicude doors...
Two congrats, one request for a ride to SVLUG, one description of it as a boat, not a car, three more comments on suicide doors.
I had to convert the 430 in^3 to Litres for Marc Merlin, and it comes out to be 7.04643580. Dragan of course was too practical, saying that 7.0 Liters was 1.0 MPG, and that it was unsafe in an accident and a few more boat comparisons.
I even made the mistake to leave the original ebay information in the page which I showed everyone at VA. The _wonderful_ Scott McNeil even tried to buy the car, thinking that I was joking about buying it. Heh....
9 April 2000
So then, the following Sunday, I was able to go get it. I drove up there with a friend, and the flat bed driver was happy to get on the road. I gave the fellow his cash, bought a center link from him for $100 and bailed back to Milpitas.
That day was full of admiration, checking out the colors of the paint in the sun. It is dark dark blue, you can only tell it is blue when the sun is directly on it. Drug a damp rag over it, got it looking a bit better. I guess I will have to figure out where to put it. It isn't as long as the Honda Odyssey, though. It looks longer, but it isn't longer, so there. :-P
I also looked inside a bit, saw the windshield in the back seat, grabbed the service manuals, and perused them a bit.
We couldn't get the trunk open, we aren't sure how the mechanism works. One of the keys goes in the trunk and turns, but nothing happens. I think that the button needs to be unlocked and then it should pop out, so that I can push the button, and get the trunk open. It is kinda bugging me, since I am hoping for an air cleaner in there.
12 April 2000
I talked to Tony at work a bit about it, he is all for pulling the engine and doing a complete rebuild on it. I am not sure. My dad suggests just trying to get it running. I know I don't have the $$$ for the rebuild kit right now. Tony _did_ offer me his engine stand for until July. I don't think I could finish the rebuild that quickly. He also mentioned that some places could turn around a rebuild in a weekend, and I really wish I had the $$$ for _that_.
I got home and decided to mess with it a bit. Had to find a battery somewhere, couldn't find one. Ah, take one out of the Cutlass, but it is to painful. I am not going to take the battery out of the Odyssey, so what to do? I know! I pulled the Cutlass over to the Continental, and hooked up jumper cables to the battery cables. Which ones? Oh, the wiring diagram told me.
Hey! Now I can move the front seat!!! (electric and all that) This thing might work someday after all!
Crack! What was that sound? "Heather, you can laugh at me any time now.", I says. There went the windshield. Argh! Argh! Heather helped me carry the (now worthless) windshield into the garage. *sigh*.
Back to the car. All four headlights work. High beam and low beam works properly.
That was as far as I got, it was getting dark, Brian was running around the place, and we needed to get inside.

Have you ever seen "Spot Clean Only" on a care label for your dress or blouse?
What is Spot Cleaning?
Spot cleaning means that your dry cleaner applies a local spotting agent to a garment in the area of a spot or stain. But the entire garment cannot be dry cleaned or laundered when the label says, "Spot Clean Only." Because Spot Cleaning usually requires either wet cleaning (water-based cleaning technique) or dry cleaning (solvent-based cleaning technique) to remove the spotting agent, it might be possible to remove the spot but leave a visible and undesired "ring" of spotting agent on the garment.
So if you can't dry clean or wet clean the garment, you can't remove the spotting agent…and you can't clean the garment without risking damage to the garment. In my opinion, the care label that says "Spot Cleaning Only" is just a way to make the consumer think it can be cleaned…when it can't.
Why Do Care Labels say "Spot Clean Only?"
Maybe there are beads that cannot withstand the necessary action to clean a garment. Or maybe there are blends of fabrics that together cannot hold up to the treatment. Sometimes it's the dyes in the fabric that cannot take the treatment.
Sometimes a garment is made and not properly tested by the manufacturer before mass production. When it is discovered that the garment cannot be cleaned, the manufacturer slaps a care label in the garment saying to "Spot Clean Only." I believe that is intended to remove liability from the manufacturer and still sell the dress to the uninformed consumer. That's a rip off!
You can call these garments, "One and Done." Don't expect your dry cleaner to work a miracle unless you are willing to waive any damages to the garment. And even then, success is neither easy nor guaranteed. In fact, a "Spot Clean Only" garment is often damaged during cleaning even when handled by the most experienced dry cleaner. But if the garment is so bad in need of cleaning that you cannot wear it again, it's worth the risk. Otherwise, you can either trash the dress or let it take up space in your closet.
If you haven't seen the "Spot Clean Only" care label, be on the lookout and don't be confused into thinking that your favorite Birmingham dry cleaner can always handle it.

Michael "Mike" A. Miller
Stoughton- Michael A. "Mike" Miller, whose byline graced the pages of The Capital Times for more than 40 years, died on Saturday, January 19, 2013, at the age of 68, a victim of pancreatic cancer.
A native of Stoughton where he graduated from high school and excelled in sports, Mike worked as a reporter for The Capital Times from 1969 to 2009, when he retired to spend more time at his favorite pastime, golf. He had actually started work at the newspaper in 1965 when as a student at the UW-Madison he got a part-time job in the "dispatch" department, delivering proofs of ads to the advertisers for their final ok. That job quickly turned into a special one. He was tabbed by William T. Evjue, the founder and editor and publisher of the newspaper, to be his personal chauffeur, driving him on the editor's many trips around Dane County. Mike always insisted he was selected for the job because he was the only employee in the department who could speak Norwegian, an attribute near and dear to Mr. Evjue's heart.
Mike got his break to join the newsroom in 1969. His first byline was on a story about a giant spill at the UW's Babcock Hall that sent thousands of gallons of milk into Lake Mendota. Over the next 40 years Mike covered everything from the Legislature to the police. But, the bulk of those years was spent covering Dane County's courts, a beat that he not only loved, but at which he excelled. His coverage of some of the county's biggest murder trials became legendary, yet he also paid attention to the little stories as well - the human interest angles behind the scenes, the occasional retirements and promotions on his beat, the humorous anecdotes inside the courthouse walls. Dane County's judges came to trust Mike for never violating a confidence and only a few weeks ago when they learned of Mike's illness, they held a ceremony to name the pressroom in his honor, a permanent remembrance of the work he had done. News people young and old, along with dozens of courthouse workers and the chief justice of the State Supreme Court, attended the ceremony.
His versatile writing talent led him to author several April Fool's Day spoofs that appeared on the front page of the paper over the years. It included the draining of Lake Monona due to a work crew punching a hole in the bottom of the lake while driving pylons for Monona Terrace, the docking of the U.S.S. Wisconsin at the Union Terrace on Lake Mendota, and the city's "decision" to ban Friday night fish fries. He also annually produced fun stories on the start of the annual lutefisk dinner season, true to his proud Norwegian heritage.
At the age of 65, Mike took a retirement package, but not before he compiled an extensive history of The Capital Times and Mr. Evjue's struggle to keep it going in its early days that is a permanent fixture on the newspaper's website.
Mike was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Lillian Miller of Stoughton and a brother, Charles. He is survived by two brothers, Robert (Jean) Miller of Stoughton and Jim, who is at the Veterans Home in King, Wis. Also surviving are four close nieces, Heidi Volker and Teresa Howell of Stoughton, Sheila Michael of Seattle, Wash., and Pam Goerl of Freedom, Wis., and Sue Lee and her son Jaime of Madison.
Memorial services will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, January 26, 2013 at Cress Funeral Home in Stoughton, with Mike's dear friends Dan Moeser, Dave Zweifel and Dennis Burke speaking. Friends and relatives are invited to a luncheon reception following the services at the Stoughton VFW Post 328.
A special thanks to the staff at the Agrace Hospice Center and to retired Circuit Court Judge Dan Moeser, a close childhood and Stoughton High School friend who was by Mike's side until the end.

A sinfully rich dessert that's amazingly easy to prepare.
Leave a Review
This pie can be dangerous, just one more bite, and than another and another....I sprinkled a few white chocolate chips on the shell and a few more on the filling before baking. Loved the flavor and consistency, this is joy on a plate.
I had a catering business and made this every year as part of our Thanksgiving line up. It was always a hit.
This is my "go to" dessert when I have company. It does not last until the next day! I use more chocolate chips, covering the bottom of the crust. Also,I would suggest adding some bourbon and vanilla to the whipped cream.
I made this for Thanksgiving last year, and it was gone in one sitting. The next day, my guests asked for me to make it again! Needless to say, this is a unique recipe that will really make an impression at your holiday meal. I'm making it again this year, without any modifications. Sooo good!
This is an absolutely delicious and easy-to-make pie. I added more chocolate chips to the bottom because I am a chocolate lover, but other than that, the recipe was perfect as is.
This is a staple for potlucks in our family. It is super easy and takes minutes to make. I do make a couple of changes: 1. Milk Chocolate chips rather than semi sweet, 2. I do not chop the pecans, the mixer does break them up a bit, 3. If we don't have Kahlua we use Tia Maria. I end up baking it just a bit longer - 5 or so minues. Also, if you have chocolate cravers who are into Death by Chocolate, pour a chocolate ganache on top onces it has cooled down. Too much for me but I had friends that raved about it!
I have made this pie for the past 7 or 8 years. It always turns out beautifully and gets rave reviews. Friends and family always request I make it. Make with the butter pie crust on epicurious. Yum! No additions or deletions to the recipe needed although the dark chocolate does sound interesting!
This was a great pie. I made my very first pie for Thanksgiving, it was a chocolate pecan pie from a recipe I found somewhere else that called for so much chocolate that the pie was sludge-like and inedible. We ended up throwing it away. So I found this recipe & wanted to give it another try. I reduced the chocolate called for, mostly of fear, and it was still great! Nice kahlua taste!
Super-easy, and delicious. We use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips. It consistently gets rave reviews from those who partake.
I thought this was awesome! The consistency was wonderful and the whole family loved it. The only change I would make is to use dark chocolate and to cut it back to 1/3 cup instead of 1/2. I also placed pecan halves all over the top before baking. Not sure why one review said it was sludgy with a weird taste. He/she must have made an error in the recipe when making it. Would definitely make it again!

Time flies when you're in college. If you're not careful, you could enter a studio at RISD, a kitchen at Johnson & Wales, or a library at Brown, PC, URI, Salve, RIC, Roger Williams, or Bryant, and stumble out four years later without a clue about the stories in your midst. So before you disappear, here's a cheat sheet of Rhode Island tales that you probably didn't hear on your campus tour.
Roger Williams Park, Roger Williams Hospital, Roger Williams University, Roger Williams Avenue — they're all named for an ex-convict. We may celebrate him today, but in colonial times, ol' R.W. was the Guy Who Couldn't Keep His Mouth Shut. The preacher was so outspoken about separating church and state and negotiating peacefully with Native Americans that the Massachusetts Bay Colony convicted him of spreading "new and dangerous opinions" and banished him in the winter of 1635.
By springtime, Williams was 50 miles south of Boston and paddling his way up a river toward natives onshore who greeted him by shouting — in a scene that now adorns city seals on Providence trash bins — "What Cheer, Netop?" Today, the freshwater spring where Williams supposedly arrived is enshrined in a stone well at the Roger Williams National Memorial on South Main Street. Peer inside this holiest of civic sites and what do you see? Bottle caps, shoelaces, coins, twigs, and a few discarded food wrappers.
British customs officer Lieutenant William Dudingston didn't have many friends in Rhode Island in the summer of 1772. So when his schooner, the HMS Gaspee, ran aground on a sandbar in Narragansett Bay on June 9, folks on shore didn't rush to save him. Instead, they gathered in pubs and parlors to hash out a plan. When night fell, a horde of men hopped in rowboats and paddled Dudingston's way, shouting at him, shooting him in the groin, raiding his ship, tying up his crew, and torching the schooner. The ensuing British criminal inquiry yielded no convictions; instead, centuries later, we toast this act of arson as a pre-game bonfire before the American Revolution.
Think your last break-up was dramatic? Consider Edgar Allan Poe's tale from the fall of 1848. On a visit to Providence, the frenzied author of The Tell-Tale Heart fell hard for a local widow who wrote poetry and wore coffin-shaped pendants, Sarah Helen Whitman. He wrote breathless letters. ("Do you not perceive that it is my diviner nature . . . which burns and pants to commingle with your own?") He took her on dates to Swan Point Cemetery. He sent her locks of his hair. He showed up outside her house, screaming. He proposed marriage numerous times. And at one point, unhappy with the progress of his courtship, he took a massive dose of the tranquilizer laudanum and stumbled around, puking. "My reason was entirely gone," he would later write.
Somehow, Whitman agreed to marry him, but before they can make it official, Poe broke a key condition of the engagement: sobriety. When word of his tippling got around, the affair unraveled in a dramatic scene at Whitman's house where she clamped an ether-soaked handkerchief to her face and passed out on a couch. Poe was escorted from the premises and out of Whitman's life, never to marry her or anyone else. He died in Baltimore less than a year later, wearing another man's clothes. Ouch.

Being on the verge of getting employed by a new tech company seemed like the right time to resume writing here.
I'm still working out details with my future employer, and it will probably be official today, if all goes to plan. I have already been assigned a task, in order to test my capabilities as a developer, which I have been doing for the past week. This, by the way, was a jQuery-based date picker to narrow the presentation of some values over time.
In order to help me get acquainted with the codebase and getting my bearings, the company's lead developer has been of invaluable help for these past few days. It's always a great experience when you're able to learn from someone you respect and who proves to be very knowledgeable about the problems at hand.
What I'm NOT knowledgeable about, and which has honestly been a bit discomforting, is being a Git fool. Reading The Git Reference is something I'm about to do.
More news about this step of my life as I get them...

My route today took me down the Sava River valley. Dull sky, but beautiful scenery. The river was flowing rapidly swollen by the melting snow. Some parts of the valley were steep and narrow gorges.
I remembered that I had nothing to light my stove with and stopped in a petrol station in Litija. The shop assistant spoke no English so I tried to mime lighting a cigarette, but every time I said cigarette he handed me a packet of fags from the display above him. NO!! I could see no matches on display so I couldn't use the international language of pointing
The railway track beside me was very busy, lots of passenger trains and lengthy freight trains. I checked my map and saw that it was the line to Zagreb. If I continued along the Sava I would end up there myself. Many of the stations i passed had well preserved steam engines on display outside them.
I decided to stop in Celje for the night, but the only accommodation I could find was in a 3* hotel. Not my usual style but I'd cycled 110km, longest day so far, and needed a bed.
During the night I was woken by what sounded like a party going on, I was too tired to get up and see what the excitement was, and turning over I fell back to sleep. Easter Sunday dawned bright and sunny. As I was paying my bill I discovered that the Chipendales had stayed there after a show in town. By the sounds of it, the entire single female population of Celje followed them.
I had a fantastic day�y cycling, perfect weather, I found all the right roads easily and no serious climbs
Ptuj is a spa town and the campsite was packed, mostly German tourists. I got my little pitch between the camper vans and cooked dinner. I explored the castle district on the little hill in the evening, cafes and bars full of tourists, everything else shut.
BAck at the campsite there was a lovely sunset, the sun breaking through the gathering cloud spectacularly.
Monday morning was predictable, cold and dull. The rain held off for most of the day though. Undulating countryside and more forests. I considered taking a little short cut through Croatia but decided to keep it simple. Mondays efforts left me a few km from the Hungarian border in the town of Lendava. The hotel Lipa has a fine campsite and you get use of the outdoor spa. I wasn't tempted, but it was full of German tourists.

The meat and potatoes of building the program so young men come to and stay with your unit is the annual plan.
The plan that delivers the promise. OK.. stop.. what is this promise that we keep talking about?
Simply put the promise that Scouting is supposed to deliver is Adventure, learning, and challenge and responsibility.
We do this through the Aims of Scouting using the methods as building blocks to achieve Citizenship training, Character development, and Fitness.
What does that mean to a teen aged young man.
Fun, Adventures, and meaningful time spent with his friends. Now most teen aged young men are not going to express "meaningful time" as one of the reasons they join and stay in Scouting, but it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that when they are bored they leave and when they are not having fun with their peers, they leave.. so we have this game with a purpose and the outline, rules, and execution of the game is in the annual plan.
So let me take you through our Troops process. The caveat here is that this works great for us and our youth. It is fair to say that this is the process we established and have trained the Junior leaders to use. The important thing to take home is establishing a workable process and refine it within your unit. I am not saying that we are the end all be all.. but the saying goes "the proof is in the pudding" and our process works very well. We have had sustainable growth every year and little by way of loss. We have had our share of loss, but the good news is that when we do have a Scout leave, they typically transfer to a Troop that is better suited for them. Backpacking may not be their ideal Scouting experience and we encourage young men to find the program that fits them, they will be successful in that environment.
Our planning starts before the Troop attends Summer camp each year. The patrols begin the process of building lists of activities and places they want to go. These ideas are then brought to the Patrol Leaders Council after summer camp and a discussion of Troop goals and desired outcomes for the year are committed to paper.
For example, this last year the Troop wanted to climb Mt. St. Helens, they wanted to backpack in the Olympic National forest, they wanted to do a 50 miler, they wanted to canoe, they wanted to climb at Smith Rocks, and they wanted to do 2 winter camp outs on Mt. Hood.
Those were their plan above the regular Camporee, Summer camp, and Webelos Woods events that we always do.
Once the PLC came up with places, they assigned specific activities that would be the focus of the camp outs or outings associated with locations.
Some of the specifics looked like: While backpacking on the St. Helens Trip they would focus on Leave no Trace, they would be inviting Webelos Scouts to go on the trip with us, and they would work on better planning process's with the New Scout Patrol.
Once the calendar with filled in with places and activities the PLC looked at training opportunities, service projects, and special events. They were plugged into the plan.
The plan is now taken to the Troop committee for approval. It is the committee's job to say yes. The committee began the process of permits and cross checking our dates and events with the council and district plan. Everything worked out except for the Mt. St. Helens climb. The permits were sold out on opening day and so an alternate location had to be picked.
The PLC did some research and came up with climbing the South Sister in the Sisters Mountains. They determined this because the difficulty was moderate and the summit could be reached in half a day. It was a good location to accomplish the goals and activities they had set for this camp out.
Upon completion of the planning session and invitation for Troop Junior Leader training was extended to any Scout that was interested in leadership within the Troop. No training, no leadership. The SPL and the PLC would conduct the training over a weekend.
During the TJLT the annual plan was brought back out and all of the participants took part in refining the plan. This is a great opportunity to get everyone, especially those Scouts that are going to lead for the next year, to get on board and become versed in the plan. The vision of the Troop is made clear and the expectations of the leaders are made real as they all own a piece of the plan.
After training, the plan is published, posted, and made available to the whole troop and those visitors that are interested in our troop. The local packs are also given a copy of our plan and dates are set aside for visits and other ways that we can interact with the Packs.
Now obviously there are a lot more little nuts and bolts that hold the plan together, but in a nut shell, the process is not complicated and kept simple. The key ingredient is the Junior leaders. Our plan is not a dictate from above and the Scoutmaster acts only as an adviser and coach. This is their plan, I will train them, teach them, and make myself available as much as they want or as little as they need. The more we go through this process, the better we get and easier it is for the Youth leadership to handle on their own.
Once they build their plan, the word gets out.. and they come.
If you can help build a plan that offers Adventure, Challanges, and develops self reliance, the Scouts will recruit harder than you can ever imagine. Remember they are looking for meaningful time spent with their buddies, they can find that is a well planned and youth executed Troop.
We will wrap this up next time with some FAQ's!
Have a Great Scouting Day!

- Great Study Bible! by Shawn on 12/7/2016
I've been reading the Message by Eugene Peterson but I've been looking for a good study bible with notes and maps to provide more insight for our small group. My wife has an older pink version of this bible and I've always thought it a great option. Found this one on sale and it's stunning. The picture doesn't do it justice! Best of all, it shipped in 2 days!! Very pleased.
- Great for history! by Andrew on 10/7/2015
It took me a while to choose a good study bible for myself. I choose this one and it has been great. The color pages make the maps and pictures much more friendly to look at. I dealt with the 1st Century Study Bible and it is also great for people who love history. Both have maps, timelines and photos on almost every other page.
My only problem was that this Bible is very thick, so I was limited on my choice of cases.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett shares a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Conclusion: Beneath, Between, Behind
The trip back to the road and along the logging trail would take at least 10 to 15 minutes. Further, the turkey was pepper-hot. I figured I could try him from across the ditch and see what happened. If he hung up on the opposite ridge, I still had enough cover to make my end-around.
When the turkey hit the ground, I yelped at him softly, and he screamed back immediately. I waited a minute and then yelped again. He roared, and he was closer. After the next call, he was closer yet, and after the next, I scolded myself to get my gun up — now.
I heard him drumming before I saw him, but that didn't matter. When he topped the small ridge in front of me, he was at 18 steps, and I watched him for a moment before ending the hunt. It's not that I felt smug about my decision; I just wanted to appreciate the moment. After all, red-hot turkeys can make any decision look good.
What decision did you make?

Toggle: English / Spanish
Serum sickness is a reaction that is similar to an allergy. The immune system reacts to medications that contain injected proteins used to treat immune conditions. Or it can react to antiserum, the liquid part of blood that contains antibodies given to a person to help protect them against germs or poisonous substances.
See also: Immune response
Plasma is the clear fluid portion of blood. It does not contain blood cells. However, it does contain many proteins, including antibodies, which are formed as part of the immune response to protect against infection.
Antiserum is produced from the plasma of a person or animal that has immunity against an infection or poisonous substance. Antiserum may be used to protect a person who has been exposed to a germ he or she has not been vaccinated again.
For example, you may receive a certain type of antiserum injection if you have been exposed to
During serum sickness, the immune system falsely identifies a protein in antiserum as a potentially harmful substance (antigen). The result is an immune system response that attacks the antiserum. Immune system elements and the antiserum combine to form immune complexes, which cause the inflammation and other symptoms of serum sickness.
Certain medications (such as penicillin, cefaclor, and sulfa) can cause a similar reaction. Unlike other drug allergies, which occur very soon after receiving the medication, serum sickness develops 7 - 21 days after the first exposure to a medication.
Injected proteins such as antithymocyte globulin (used to treat organ transplant rejection) and rituximab (used to treat immune disorders and cancers) can cause serum sickness reactions.
Blood products may also cause serum sickness.
Note: Symptoms usually do not develop until 7 - 21 days after the first dose of antiserum or exposure to the medication. However, some people may develop symptoms in 1 - 3 days if they have already been exposed to the substance.
The lymph nodes may be enlarged and tender to the touch. The urine may contain blood or protein. Blood tests may show immune complexes or signs of blood vessel inflammation.
Corticosteroid creams or ointments or other soothing skin medications may relieve discomfort from itching and a rash.
Antihistamines may shorten the length of the illness and help ease a rash and itching.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or naproxen may relieve joint pain. However, NSAIDs should be used carefully because of the risk for kidney damage. Corticosteroids taken by mouth (such as prednisone) may be prescribed for severe cases.
The medicine that caused the problem should be stopped. Avoid using that medication or antiserum in the future.
The symptoms usually go away within a few days.
If you use the drug or antiserum that caused serum sickness again in the future, your risk of having another similar reaction is high.
Complications include:
Call your health care provider if you have received medication or antiserum in the last 4 weeks and you have symptoms of serum sickness.
There is no known way to prevent the development of serum sickness.
People who have experienced serum sickness, anaphylactic shock, or drug allergy should avoid future use of the antiserum or drug.

Makes one contemplate defection
The only drawback they have
Among the drawbacks are numbered...crazy banked RAM.
It's not quite as nice as it could be. Apparently the "24" in PIC24 refers to the instruction width, so 128kbyte is only 43k instructions (still, a 32kbyte arduino is only 16k instructions...)I didn't necessarily intend that this be from "someone" who wanted to compete with the official Arudino team. In theory, the team could do a PIC-based board as a followon themselves. (I don't see any other alternatives for more than 32k of program space in a DIP socket. It depends on how important you consider that feature compared to the architecture...)

I am sooooo glad to be in Sri Lanka. It is so much cleaner than India, but that's not saying much, and the people are super friendly. So far I have not seen any public urination, no spitting, and no farting/burping/picking of the nose in public, all of which you see/smell/hear about 30 times a day in India. The people in Sri Lanka look similar, dress similar, and have similar religious beliefs to those in India, but this is a completely different world...and I love it!
The first day was mostly a tiring travel day. I took an auto-rickshaw to the Chennai airport at 5:30 in the morning just to find out the 1 hour 10 minute flight was delayed about two and a half hours. From the airport in Colombo, Sri Lanka I took a taxi to the main bus station where I hopped on a bus to Hikkaduwa, which is about 2 hours south. I checked into a lovely guesthouse/bungalow right on the beach then walked to the dive shop to get sorted for diving the next day. Unfortunately the ocean has been too rough and no dive boats have been going out the last week or so. Oh I was so upset. I decided that since Hikkaduwa is so close to Colombo, I would just come back at the end of my trip to dive.
So in the morning I took the bus to Galle, about 30 minutes down the coast. Much of Galle, the old part that is, lies inside the Galle Fort which was built by the Dutch in 1663. There are about 400 houses inside the fort, many businesses, administrative offices, courts, etc. It's like it's own little community. The owner of my guesthouse said they rarely have to leave the fort, everything they need is here.
I decided to walk around the perimeter of the fort, which is probably two miles total. For most of the walk you can actually walk on the fort wall. Here are some pics from the walk.
Just a random pic from outside the fort walls.
The next day I took the bus back past Hikkaduwa to an area that was severly damaged by the tsunami. Supposedly at kilometer 95 on the main road there's a memorial for a train that was taken adrift by the flooding and about 1500 passengers died. I heard you can see the train cars still in the same spot where they were found after the tsunami, but they were nowhere to be found. After asking some people, it's believed that the train cars were taken to Colombo, maybe put in a museum? However, there was a different memorial for this same train incident that I found down the road a bit.
In the same area there was a giant Buddha Statue given by a Japanese organization as a another memorial to all of the victims of the tsunami.
Tomorrow I think I'll be leaving for Unawatuna, another small beach town about 10 minutes away!
I hope you are well.

Family: Fagaceae, Beech view all from this family
Description Quercus coccinea, the scarlet oak, is an oak in the red oak section Quercus sect. Lobatae. The scarlet oak can be mistaken for the pin oak, the black oak, or occasionally the red oak. On scarlet oak the sinuses between lobes are "C"-shaped in comparison to pin oak (Q. palustris), which has "U"-shaped sinuses and the acorns are half covered by a deep cap.
Scarlet oak is mainly native to the eastern United States, from southern Maine west to eastern Oklahoma, and south to southern Alabama. It is also native in the extreme south of Ontario, Canada. It occurs on dry, sandy, usually acidic soils. It is often an important canopy species in an oak-heath forest.
It is a medium-large deciduous tree growing to 20-30 m tall with an open, rounded crown. The leaves are glossy green, 7-17 cm long and 8-13 cm broad, lobed, with seven lobes, and deep sinuses between the lobes. Each lobe has 3-7 bristle-tipped teeth. The leaf is hairless (unlike the related pin oak, which has tufts of pale orange-brown down where the lobe veins join the central vein). The common English name is derived from the autumn coloration of the foliage, which generally becomes bright scarlet; in contrast, pin oak foliage generally turns bronze in autumn. The acorns are ovoid, 7-13 mm broad and 17-31 mm long, a third to a half covered in a deep cup, green maturing pale brown about 18 months after pollination; the kernel is very bitter.
Habitat Canyons & valleys, Mountains.
Range Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, Plains, New England, Southeast.
Comments This is relatively fast-growing and long-lived oak. It is susceptible to the deadly oak wilt and must not be pruned in wilt-infested areas during the growing season. Quercus coccinea does not develop chlorosis as badly as the similar pin oak, however it is less tolerant of adverse conditions. It is harder to find in the nursery trade than pin or red oak.
Exposure Preference Sun.
Native Distribution S.w. Maine to s.e. Missouri & s. (in a line mostly w. of the Coastal Plain) to Georgia & Mississippi.
Site Preference Dry, upland woods; ridges; slopes.
Soil Preference Shallow infertile soils over sandstone or limestone. pH 6.1-6.5.
Wildlife Value Attracts songbirds, ground birds and mammals.

One of the most frequent day trips that our Palmer House guests take is a ferry ride to Martha's Vineyard.
For your convenience, we sell the tickets at the inn. After disembarking the ferry we recommend taking the tour bus to get an over view the island.
The sightseeing busses on the Vineyard run from Memorial Day weekend through September. They meet every Steamship Authority and Island Queen ferry from 9:00 am through 3:15 pm. They give a fully narrated tour with state-licensed drivers who are also professional guides.
The towns on Martha's Vineyard offer surprising diversity, each with its own character and personality. For those who are interested in history, Edgartown presents an architectural memorial to whaling's golden age. Aquinnah or Gay Head as it was named in the past is recognized world-wide for its clay cliffs and natural beauty, while West Tisbury is a typical New England village right out of a Currier and Ives print. Menemsha is a working fishing village and its claim to fame is that it is where the motion picture "Jaws" was filmed. Oak Bluffs is internationally known for its charming Victorian "ginger bread style" cottages.
The tours take approximately two and a half hours and includes a thirty minute stop at the Aquinnah cliffs.
Tickets are $29.00 and can be purchased aboard the bus.
For more information on a Martha's Vineyard day trip take a look at our Martha's Vineyard Post.

There's a reason to choose social work. Answering a call to service changes more than one life—it has a ripple effect, first touching one person and eventually an entire community. The Grace Abbott School of Social Work (GASSW) educates professional social workers who engage with diverse communities and promote social change.
The Grace Abbott School of Social Work is named for native Nebraskan and social reformer, Grace Abbott. Her social activism and writings contributed to programs that safeguarded mothers and families, protected immigrants from abuse and rescued child laborers. Today, that tradition is embodied in students, faculty and proud alumni.
We offer:
The Grace Abbott School of Social Work welcomes traditional and non-traditional students to study in multiple areas of social work practice. The common thread among our diverse student population is a heart for service.
We serve a diverse group of individuals and communities. Our students gain structured community experience in social service agencies, hospitals, public schools and the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. Our practicum experience helps students develop specialized knowledge and skills to practice professional social work following graduation. Our MSW and BSSW off-campus programs serve rural communities outside of the Omaha metropolitan area.
The ripple effect we speak of often starts with a macro focus. Our students regularly engage with state lawmakers and government officials concerning issues of policy and advocacy that ultimately affect positive change for individuals, families and community groups.

Yields 4 quarts
This spiked white sangria is one of several served at El Real Tex-Mex Café in Houston. The sparkling wine and soda give it a gentle effervescence, rather than a fierce fizz.
Put the oranges, lemons, limes, and mint in a large plastic container. Pour the agave nectar over the fruit. Add the tequila and mix gently. Add the white wine, cover, and let the mixture marinate in the refrigerator for a few hours.
Put the fruit mixture in a large drink dispenser or divide among 2 large pitchers. Top off with the sparkling wine and the lemon-lime soda.

Updated on 31 October 2012
Abbott, AstraZeneca, Boehringer, BMS, Eli Lilly, GSK, J&J, Pfizer, Roche and Sanofi join hands to form TransCelerate BioPharma
Collaboration has emerged as the preferred way forward for pharmaceutical companies looking to address the patent cliff, a drying product pipeline and challenges associated with R&D. Toeing the line, the top 10 pharma giants have come together to form a not-for-profit organization to push drug discovery. TransCelerate BioPharma, as the initiative is called, has Abbott, AstraZeneca, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Roche and Sanofi as members and is the biggest-ever of its kind in the sector.
The name, TransCelerate BioPharma, refers to transforming and accelerating R&D functions across the biopharmaceutical industry, and the organization will focus on accelerating the developments of new medicines by building on the strengths of the partners.
Headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, US, TransCelerate will combine financial resources and personnel of the founding companies to solve industry-wide challenges in a collaborative environment. "TransCelerate seeks to advance innovation in research and development, identify and solve common R&D challenges, and further improve patient safety with the goal of delivering more high quality medicines to the patients," says Mr Garry Neil, acting CEO, TransCelerate BioPharma.
While speaking about the importance of collaboration, Mr Venkat Jassi, CEO and chairman, Suven Lifesciences, pointed out at a recently held CEO conclave at the India-Asia Pacific International Pharma Business meet in Hyderabad, India, that, "collaboration is the key in this industry; be it collaboration among the industry and institutions or among the companies in the industry".
The members of TransCelerate have agreed to specific outcome-oriented deliverables and have clearly defined responsibilities. "Each company will be committing significant financial resources and personnel, and will establish guidelines for sharing meaningful data and information among members in a way that will advance the collaborative efforts without disclosing any competitively sensitive information," adds Mr Neil.

Wait all winter long (and they are long ones up here!) go out with my girls last weekend for the youth hunt, and get all geeked up. And my Wisconsin season lasts 46 minutes from listening to trigger pull and floppage. Went out to camp Tuesday afternoon. After dropping off my gear I hit the road to do some highway scouting and flock location. Roost time up here is between 7:30 pm and 8:00 pm so I figure anything I see after 7:00 pm should be close to where I can find them in the moring. I found a gobbler group about 7:10 pm. 3 Jakes and a couple 2 yr. olds. Looked as good as any so far. The birds were feeding in a local county campground (Spaulding Pond). I was suprised to see no hunters camping there. I drove past and turned around to see where the birds would head. As I slow rolled back toward the campground the birds flew accross the road into some county land. I knew where I would start in the morning.
I pulled into the campground at 5:10 am. and sat outside my van listening for a gobble. After no responce from my owl calling or my goose caller...except a couple local geese on the pond. I moved accross the road and decided to just set up and do some soft calling...those birds had to be close. After walking into the woods a ways I noticed that it was only about 150 yards wide. Opening up to a marsh on the other side. I found a good opening and set my lone hen decoy. I still was waiting for my first gobble of the morning at 5:30 am. when I did a little soft tree yelping. It was answered by some yelping from about 70 yards away over my left shoulder. I waited awhile and gave some more soft stuff. This time I heard a bird fly down...I figured a hen must have come down to see who was in her space. Now it's only about 5:40 am and it's pretty early for a fly down...but I roll with it. I pick up the volume and some clucks. Just then the geese leave the pond and there honking get me a gobble from the roosted birds to my left. Now it's on! I cluck they gobble...yelp, they gobble...couple purrs and they gobble. Now I figure I will just be quit till they hit the ground. That's when I see a bird walking in the marsh...then I remember that early bird flydown and think this might be a gobbler trying to get some before the other boys get out of the tree. I hit him with some cutting and his head colors up. He turns in and heads right for the decoy. A couple more cuts and he hits strut...full fan I know he's atleast a two year old. Slowly working my gun into position...I listen to him spit and drum...man I love spring! During one of his spins I catch a good look at his beard...not a monster by any means...but it's long enough that it hangs out and down...I guess in the 7" to 8" range. I sit and watch the show...strut and spin...spit and drum. The something clicks in my head..." take your first best shot, you might not get another chance". I pulled the trigger and ended the show. Looked at my watch and it was 6:01 am. The birds off my left shoulder kept gobbling till a booming gobble came from over by the campground. I guess me firing up the boys in the tree and made the area boss angry...and he was coming! The boys flew down and hit the trail...but the boss kept coming...soon he was on my side of the road and looking to kick some butt or get some loving! He gobbled his way right into the clearing I was set up in. At 20 yards he sure looked like a dandy. I would say 11" beard and some weight. And I will admit I thought about taking him out...but I didn't. Finally he just had enough and walked out the way he came in. I think maybe I'll pick up an over the counter tag for the 5th or 6th week. Stats for my bird were 18lbs. 6.75" beard, and 3/4" spurs.


text: As I was driving home from work last night there was a news blurb on about state budgets shortfalls and how they needed to be "more creative" in revenue generation. Delaware, it appears, wants to legalize sports gambling and Massachusetts appears to be planning a big gas tax hike. Nowhere in the new blurb was the option of cutting any service or any spending considered or mentioned.
