|A steak marinade made with soy sauce, vinegar, hot sauce, Kitchen Bouquet, liquid smoke, onion, garlic and ginger, perfect for sirloin as pictured above.
Cajun Steak MarinadeI'm generally a pretty simple gal when it comes to steaks. For the most part, I prefer ribeye above all others and simply sprinkle them with a little Dale's or even just plain ole Worcestershire sauce, or my newest discovery, Country Bob's, bring them to room temperature and then throw them on the outside grill, or even on the George Foreman inside if I'm in a rush. Sometimes though, other cuts seem to need a little bit of flavor infusion, and this is one of my favorite steak marinades to use.
Here's how to make it.
Recipe: Cajun Steak Marinade©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Inactive time: 8 hours | Yield: About a cup
- 2 steaks, any kind (great for sirloin)
- 1/8 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup of red wine or apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of All Purpose Sauce or Steak Sauce
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon Kitchen Bouquet
- 1/2 teaspoon of Liquid Smoke
- 1/3 cup of chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon Accent, optional
Combine ingredients in a glass bowl or a gallon size Ziploc bag, mixing well. Add the steaks and mash around a bit to cover them. Seal and place in the refrigerator for several hours, or overnight, turning occasionally.
Bring steaks to room temperature for about 30 minutes; pan fry, broil or grill to desired doneness.
Note: Use Country Bob's, A1 Steak Sauce, Lea & Perrins, Heinz 57, or a similar brown or red steak sauce. This is an old recipe that still used Accent tenderizer, so I've left it in. You can certainly omit it.

Engine: Intake over exhaust valve four-stroke single 26.8 cubic inches (440cc)

A lot of American companies attempted to get into the motorcycle business in the early 1900s. But by 1906, this bike proved that Harley-Davidson was in the business to stay.
Like most of the 65 or so motorcycle builders in the U.S. in the early years of the 20th century, Harley-Davidson had humble beginnings. William Harley and brothers Arthur, Walter and William Davidson began producing motorcycles in a 10-by-15-foot back-yard shed in Milwaukee.
Only one prototype and two production bikes were built in 1903. And only 11 motorcycles were produced from 1903 to 1905. But by the end of 1905, the company's one model, a single-cylinder, 24.74 cubic-inch (405cc) motorcycle, had earned Harley a reputation for building quality machines at a reasonable price.
As a result, in 1906 Harley was ready to graduate into the ranks of actual manufacturing companies. That year, it built a 2,400-square-foot factory on Juneau Avenue, where the company's headquarters remain as it celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. It also produced a catalog, launched an advertising campaign and received orders for 50 motorcycles before they were even built.
Those improvements in the business end were accompanied by some significant changes in the motorcycle. For 1906, the engine was enlarged to 26.8 cubic inches (440cc), and pumped out about 4 horsepower, instead of 3. Also, the front end got a simple spring suspension system, and the company offered a new color option in addition to the standard black: Renault Gray with red pinstriping.
This new color spawned the nickname "the Silent Gray Fellow," which stuck with the Harley brand for many years and became a part of its advertising campaigns.
That pivotal year set the tone for a brand that would become one of the most successful, and most enduring, in motorcycling history.
Owned by Dr. Richard Moreschini of Pueblo, Colorado, this extremely rare 1906 Harley is an example of the historic company's origins. And was the first motorcycle visitors saw entering the "Heroes of Harley-Davidson" exhibit, presented by Progressive Insurance, in the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum at AMA headquarters in Pickerington, Ohio in 2003.

Here's a headache-inducing situation:
Continue Reading Below
A client called the other day wondering if she could claim her daughter June as a dependent because she provided more than 50% of June's support. However, June wants to file her own tax return and claim her son (the client's grandson) Nathan as a dependent because although he worked part time, he was in college and June funded his tuition, books, and board from a college fund that she owned and controlled after the divorce. Consequently, June feels that she provided more than 50% of Nathan's support.
Well, let's sort through the 75,000 pages of tax code and see if we can figure this out.
Ridiculous, right? Here's the truly scary part: it's just one of many realistic tax situations thanks to our nation's confusing tax code.
Our tax system has become so complicated that many tax professionals are now specializing in specific tax segments. Some prefer to only prepare trust and estate tax returns, some specialize in real estate, others in small business returns and then there are the pros that cater to those who only have W2s and very simple tax returns.
In 1986, the tax code was overhauled and simplified—and I think they did a pretty good job. They dumped a bunch of loopholes and trimmed down the plethora of tax rates to only three. The pundits predicted that many more people would be preparing their own taxes and there would be a significant drop in the need for a tax professional. Hah! There was no significant drop in need whatsoever. In fact, my client base increased because, truth be told, taxes did not get easier. Simply put, tax law is murky--there is always that gray area that must be judged or legislated further. And the 1986 act created a lot of confusion for the layman.
As the years went by, lawmakers added more twists and turns to the tax code to either clarify existing law or to create more law – mostly to satisfy special interest groups.
Each new president promises tax simplification. Proposals fly for a flat tax, a consumption tax, a fair tax—and they've all died sad little deaths in Congress.
I have to laugh when I see commercials on television during tax season that basically say that if you can answer all the simple questions asked by a particular tax software then you can do your own taxes. For many that may be true, for instance, if all you've got is a W2 and maybe some itemized deductions. After all, if you have a splinter, you don't need a doctor right? You can certainly sterilize a needle and extract it from your finger. But if you have a brain tumor, just because you know how to slice with a knife doesn't mean you should do your own brain surgery. You might want to get a professional.
So it is with taxes. For example, if you're self-employed, tax law gets even more complicated. A tax professional can usually save you more in taxes than the preparation fee. Taxes are not simple, and the IRS loves to audit complicated self-prepared tax returns.
Last night I heard a TV commentator say that the tax preparation industry does not want tax simplification because we'll lose business. You've got to be kidding. I know tax professionals who drop out of the industry every year because they are drowning in frustration at all the new complexities.
A couple of weeks ago, I attended a tax seminar that focused on a federal update. I spent eight hours learning about the changes that were reflected in a handout manual that measures one-inch thick. The two new taxes have been added to the code contain so many "what if" and "if, then" statements that it's mind boggling. Then there is all the complexity created by the Affordable Care Act. And don't forget all the tiny changes to mileage rates and IRA contributions and dependency exemptions that change every year.

Is the economy threatening to abolish the relationship between you and your horse, simply because the cost of feeding, boarding and caring for your horse has become more than you can afford?
We don't want to sacrifice the quality of care or well-being of our animals. However, caring for a horse is not an inexpensive endeavor by any stretch of the imagination. We all need to ride out this struggling economy, while trying to keep our sanity intact; yet how do we do that without compromising our standards.
"Sell the cow, buy the sheep, but never be without the horse." ~Irish Proverb
Affordability has become an issue for many in the horse industry, as our economy has continued on its windy path towards recovery. One of the biggest questions on many people's minds is how to make necessary and appropriate changes in how we spend our money, while trying to maintain the best level of care possible.
We recently came across a post from Mosquito on PonyBox.com that we found interesting and resourceful, and hope you'll find a few tips here you can use:
The Top Ten Ways to Save Money with your Horse:
- Cut out supplements (including oils and powders).
- Repair items that break, rather than purchase them new.
- Buy used.
- Do group lessons.
- Bargain or ask for discounts.
- Insure your investment, vet bills can add up quickly.
- Show less and find alternative places to ride.
- Sell your trailer and rent one, or share one.
- Sell what you don't need.
- Work or trade your time for things you need.

According to Katherine Blocksdorf, horse owner and writer for About.com, "The one thing you should never skimp on for your horse is high quality hay. Hay is least expensive in summer. Buy off the field, loading your own hay during hay season or have it delivered, but always buy the best. You'll pay top price for delivered hay in the middle of winter."
"There's nothin' in life that's worth doin', if it can't be done from a horse." ~Red Stegall
With a little creativity, you can find other ways to make your horse dollars stretch a little further. Save money by learning to do a few things yourself, such as trimming your horse's feet, de-worming, or cleaning your own horse stalls. Bartering is another great way to save money. If you have a local tack store you love, you might want to talk to them about giving you a discount for referring others. This can be a real win-win for both parties.
If you have any other money-saving ideas or tips, please share them with us! We value your feedback.

No. 83,818
1. Jurisdiction for a determination of dischargeability is concurrent between the bankruptcy court and a court of competent jurisdiction.
2. When a court possesses concurrent jurisdiction in an issue involving bankruptcy, refusal to exercise that jurisdiction is reviewed for an abuse of discretion.
Appeal from Montgomery District Court; RUSSELL D. CANADAY, judge. Opinion filed July 21, 2000. Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded with directions.
Calvin L. Wiebe, of Law Office of Calvin L. Wiebe, P.A., and Eric D. Bruce, of Bruce, Bruce & Holt, L.L.C., of Wichita, for appellant.
Philip J. Bernhart, of Coffeyville, for appellee.
Before BEIER, P.J., RULON, J., and STEPHEN D. HILL, District Judge, assigned.
RULON, J.: Plaintiff Chanute Production Credit Association appeals the district court's order dismissing plaintiff's claims for lack of jurisdiction and assessing sanctions against the plaintiff under K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 60-211. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand with directions.
The facts distilled to their essence are as follows:
In April 1984, the plaintiff received a judgment against the defendant, Michael C. Schicke, in the amount of $583,186.39. Subsequently, the defendant filed a petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Kansas and was granted a discharge from the debts listed in the bankruptcy schedule. The plaintiff was listed as a creditor on Schedule F of the bankruptcy petition, but the creditor's address was listed as "Chanute Production Credit Assn., c/o Coombs & Hull, P.O. Box 306, Chanute, KS 66720."
When the debt remained unpaid, the plaintiff filed an Application for Examination of the defendant in state court to determine what assets defendant possessed that could be applied to satisfy the judgment. The district court issued an order which directed defendant to appear for a hearing in aid of execution on the plaintiff's judgment.
The defendant failed to appear at the hearing; instead his counsel sent a letter to the district court indicating that the debt claimed by the plaintiff had been discharged in bankruptcy. Upon motion by the plaintiff, the district court issued a show cause order to defendant for contempt in failing to appear at the hearing. As we understand, the district court was unaware of the letter in the court file explaining the discharge. The defendant responded to the show cause order by filing a motion for sanctions against the plaintiff for violating an order of the bankruptcy court, requesting $133 in attorney fees. The plaintiff then filed a motion for sanctions for violation of the hearing order, arguing the defendant's debt to the plaintiff was not discharged in bankruptcy because the plaintiff never received proper notice.
After conducting a hearing, the district court found that it could be in contempt of the bankruptcy court's order if the plaintiff was permitted to pursue its judgment against the defendant. The district court deferred to the judgment of the bankruptcy court in determining the dischargeability of the plaintiff's claim. The district court imposed sanctions against the plaintiff for failing to inform the court of the defendant's position regarding the debt when it sought contempt proceedings for the defendant's failure to appear at the hearing.
The plaintiff appeals the order of the district court deferring judgment to the bankruptcy court and imposing sanctions upon the plaintiff.
The plaintiff frames its first contention on appeal as a jurisdictional question, claiming the district court was required to consider the effect of lack of notice upon the discharge of the debt owed to the plaintiff.
As the plaintiff properly contends, jurisdiction is a question of law, and this court has unlimited review over the position taken by the district court. See State v. Snelling, 266 Kan. 986, 988, 975 P.2d 259 (1999).
We understand the plaintiff seeks to collaterally attack the bankruptcy court's jurisdiction in granting the defendant's discharge of the debt owed to the plaintiff, claiming the bankruptcy court never effected proper notice. However, this case does not present the factual basis for a collateral attack upon the bankruptcy court's judgment. Nothing in the record, or the plaintiff's allegations, suggests the bankruptcy court failed to follow the rules for notifying creditors of a pending bankruptcy established within the Bankruptcy Code and Rules. The plaintiff alleges the defendant improperly scheduled his debt to the plaintiff. As such, according to plaintiff, the defendant cannot raise his discharge in bankruptcy as an affirmative defense against the plaintiff's attempts to collect the judgment.
In First Discount Corp. v. Applegate, 104 Ohio App. 84, 143 N.E.2d 868 (1957), the Ohio Court of Appeals held:
"We are not advised by the record that the trial judge had any different view on this subject. He gave effect to the discharge regardless of the failure of the defendant to duly schedule the plaintiff's debt, because of his conclusion that this would constitute a collateral attack upon the action of the Bankruptcy Court in granting the discharge. His conclusion failed to take account of the limited issue raised by an application for a discharge in bankruptcy. The only issue is whether the applicant is a bankrupt. If he is found to occupy that status, the court so declares and grants him a discharge. Thereafter, he occupies that status. The effect is not determined. As is said in 6 American Jurisprudence, 981 et seq., Section 744: 'The right to a discharge is determined in the bankruptcy court; the effect of the discharge when obtained is ordinarily determined whenever and wherever the enforcement of a debt is attempted against the bankrupt.'" 104 Ohio App. at 86-87.
The Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 523 (1994) provides exceptions to a discharge in bankruptcy. A determination of the applicability of those exceptions, however, is limited to a federal court of bankruptcy only if the creditor claims an exception under section 523(a)(2), (a)(4), or (a)(6). Adam Glass Service, Inc. v. Federated Dept. Stores, Inc., 173 Bankr. 840, 843 (E.D.N.Y. 1994). See also In re Burns, 357 F. Supp. 176, 177 (D. Kan. 1972) (finding exclusive bankruptcy jurisdiction for a claim of dischargeability brought for fraud or false representation). Jurisdiction for a determination of dischargeability is concurrent between the Bankruptcy Court and a court of competent jurisdiction with the exception of creditor claims brought under § 523(a)(2), (a)(4), and (a)(6). In re Marriage of Sailsbury, 13 Kan. App. 2d 740, 742, 779 P.2d 878 (1989).
However, determining that the district court could properly exercise jurisdiction does not dispose of this appeal. The district court refused to exercise jurisdiction over the claim, deferring to the bankruptcy court's determination of dischargeability of the plaintiff's claim. When a court possesses concurrent jurisdiction in an issue involving bankruptcy, refusal to exercise that jurisdiction is reviewed for an abuse of discretion. See In re Thaggard, 180 Bankr. 659, 662-63 (M.D. Ala. 1995).
Although Thaggard involved a bankruptcy court's abstention from determining whether debt obligations between a husband and wife were dischargeable in deference to a state court, there is no reason to apply a different standard of review when analyzing the action of the district court. See Harwood v. Glacier Electric Co-op, 285 Mont. 481, 486, 949 P.2d 651 (1997) (holding that review of a state court's decision to retain jurisdiction rather than deferring to a tribal court which possessed concurrent jurisdiction over the claim was an abuse of discretion standard); State ex rel. Bell Atlantic v. Ranson, 201 W. Va. 402, 411, 497 S.E.2d 755 (1997) (holding that review of a state court's decision to defer to an administrative agency with expertise in the area of law involved in the claims having concurrent jurisdiction was an abuse of discretion standard).
Here, the district court is not foreclosing the plaintiff's remedy because there is no time limit on a determination of dischargeability arising out of an alleged failure of proper notice. See Adam Glass Service, 173 Bankr. at 843; In re Rose, 139 Bankr. 878, 879 (Bankr. W.D. Tenn. 1992).
Furthermore, because the alleged error in notice arises from the defendant's scheduling of the plaintiff's debt under an inappropriate address, the Bankruptcy Court is in the best position to analyze the plaintiff's factual claims to determine whether the notice effected to the plaintiff was "reasonably calculated, under all the circumstances, to apprise [the plaintiff] of the pendency of the [bankruptcy] and afford [the plaintiff] an opportunity to present [its] objections." Mullane v. Central Hanover Trust Co., 339 U.S. 306, 314, 94 L. Ed. 865, 70 S. Ct. 652 (1950).
Under the circumstances, a reasonable person in the position of the district court may have deferred to the judgment of the Bankruptcy Court in determining whether the plaintiff's charge was dischargeable for failure of notice. As a result, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the action with leave to refile in the United State Bankruptcy Court for the District of Kansas. See Saucedo v. Winger, 252 Kan. 718, 729-32, 850 P.2d 908 (1993).
The plaintiff objects to the district court's imposition of sanctions. Finding that the plaintiff's contempt allegations purposely omitted material and mitigating information regarding the defendant's failure to appear at the hearing in aid of execution, the district court sanctioned the plaintiff in the amount of the defendant's attorney fees and costs.
Generally, a court cannot award attorney fees or costs in this jurisdiction unless the legislature has so provided. Whether a court has the authority to impose fees and costs is a question of law, over which this court has unlimited review. See Walker v. State, 26 Kan. App. 2d 410, 411, 988 P.2d 283 (1999).
K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 60-211(c) provides for sanctions against a party or a party's attorney who files a pleading, motion, or other document with the court for an improper purpose as specified in subsection (b) of the statute.
Subsection (b)(1) prohibits the filing of a document for the purpose of harassing another party, delaying litigation, or needlessly increasing the costs of litigation. Subsection (b)(2) prohibits a filing containing claims not warranted by existing law or good faith arguments for an extension of the law. Subsections (b)(3) and (b)(4) prohibit a filing containing factual contentions or denials that do not have evidentiary support.
We firmly conclude the plaintiff's conduct in this case does not constitute a violation of any of the above prohibitions. The plaintiff proceeded in the execution of its judgment in the belief that plaintiff's claim had not been discharged by the defendant's bankruptcy because of lack of notice. While a better policy might have been to inform the court of the defendant's position, the plaintiff was under no ethical or legal obligation to present the defendant's case. The case law clearly establishes that discharge in bankruptcy is an affirmative defense available to the debtor against any creditor's attempts to recover the pre-bankruptcy debt. See Williams v. Texaco, Inc., 165 Bankr. 662, 668-70 (D.N.M. 1994) (explaining Congress' intent in declaring that a debtor could not inadvertently waive the affirmative defense of discharge from bankruptcy but providing that the defense could be intentionally waived).
When the defendant was notified that a pre-bankruptcy creditor was seeking recovery of a pre-bankruptcy debt, he was required to raise discharge in bankruptcy as an affirmative defense to the plaintiff's collection efforts. Without a showing that the plaintiff attempted to actively conceal the defendant's bankruptcy in order to deceive the court, the plaintiff's conduct did not rise to the level of sanctions.
We affirm the district court's refusal to exercise jurisdiction to determine the dischargeability of defendant's indebtedness to plaintiff but reverse the imposition of sanctions imposed against plaintiff and remand this cause with directions to the district court to vacate such sanctions.

Memory Monday: Visiting with Grandma Brinlee
The first was a Christmas visit, and that trip to Texas must have been in December 1962. On the way we visited a cousin of Dad's (Archie?) in New Mexico, followed by a stay with my mother's sister Irene in Seymour, and then we stopped in the Dallas area to visit my father's oldest brother, Girdion. From there we made our way to Grandma's farm, where she lived with another of my Dad's brothers, Leroy. Uncle Leroy would take me out with him when he went to feed the animals and he let me pet one of the calves. Grandma had two dogs, one of which was supposedly half wolf. The wolf-dog didn't appear too intimidating, but we nevertheless kept our distance. There was a goat in the yard who liked to butt people who got too close. I wasn't taking any risks on that score, either.
Grandma's farm did not have many conveniences; I believe it did have electricity and well water. There was not even an outhouse. There was a stream bed. My mother took this in good humor, but we made a lot of jokes about it.
Grandma made her own butter, which she finished off using a mold (I think) with a daisy-like pattern. She served this with delicious biscuits. We had fresh eggs from Grandma's chickens.
One of the aspects of the visit I liked most was that I got to help Uncle Leroy cut one of the trees on the farm to use as a Christmas tree. Then we made popcorn and strung it to use as a garland and fashioned other ornaments from chestnuts (or something like them) and the silver paper from cigarette packs (my parents and most of the Brinlees were heavy smokers; I seem to remember we had plenty of these homemade ornaments to put on the tree). Aunt Evangeline also came to visit, and was already suffering from the emphysema that would contribute to her death a couple of years later.
A few years after this trip Grandma flew out to visit us in California; my parents started calling her the "Globe-Trotter." She came with another lady; I believe this was her sister Mollie. The thing that amazed and fascinated me was that they were both users of chewing tobacco and at most times had a "chaw can" with them. I had not noticed it so much during our trip to Texas, but during this visit it dawned on my that Grandma had a rather abrupt demeanor; she expected obedient behavior and could make some pretty caustic comments of disapproval. Many years later, after both she and my mother had passed on, I found and read some letters she had written to my mother after my father's death. My parents had divorced before my father died, but these letters to my mother revealed a much more tender side of my grandmother's personality than I had ever seen. She confided her fears about her poor health and inquired about how I was doing in college. She signed off with "I love you very much." I believe the grandmother we saw was the stoic woman who had led a hard life, the one who inspired a little fear in her grandchildren, but there was a lot more to her than that. She apparently had an inquiring mind – she had started some family research some years before but, as my father and Uncle Bill noted, "got disgusted with finding so many horse thieves" and such, so had given it up. (Grandma was a Norman, but I haven't found any Normans so far who fit that bill; however, there were definitely Brinlees – my great-great grandfather and his brother -- who were tried for crimes, but as far as I know they were not tried for stealing horses. They were tried for murder. More on that later.)
The last time I saw Grandma Brinlee was right after my graduation from high school. By this time I was living with my mother in Baylor County, Texas. Early in the morning after the graduation ceremony, my father drove me to Grandma's farm. Grandma's graduation present to me was a large, fluffy bath towel. There were several uncles there as well, so the Brinlees spent the day talking. Fortunately for me, Uncle Lewis had brought his son Wayne, who was close to me in age and intellectual interests. We had never met before, but we also spent the day in pleasant conversation. By the end of the day, almost everyone had left; even Grandma got tired and went to bed. Only my Dad and Uncle Windy were left. Uncle Windy had had cancer and appeared to be in fragile health. Still, he and my Dad managed to stretch out their good-byes for at least an hour or two. "I hope you don't mind too much," my Dad said. "This may be the last time Windy and I get to see each other." I was getting a little tired and impatient, but I just nodded. Later I was glad I had not rushed to pull my Dad away. Uncle Windy lived another 20 years, but my father died the following November in an automobile accident.
How many times has each of us wished that we had listened to our relatives' conversations a little more closely and asked them more questions? I could have asked Grandma about her family research or my Dad and his brothers about their service in the various branches of the armed forces. Only the youngest Brinlee brother, my Uncle Bill, is left. He is like a treasure to me now; I try to get him to tell me as many of his wonderful stories as he can remember when we talk on the phone. My youngest daughter even interviewed him about his service in the Navy for a project for her history class. She is very proud of him. I am hoping that my daughters will be wise enough to treasure what I took for granted.

Greta, these are wonderful stories! WoW! Thanks so much for sharing. I read the whole thing! And I'll check back for the stories about the murderers! We all hope the next generation after us will care about our stories don't we! I enjoyed this!ReplyDelete
It sounds like your Grandmother made the best of a tough life. I'm glad you found the letters so you were able to see another side of her. Looking forward to the trial stories!ReplyDelete
Greta, I sure enjoyed reading this post! I can remember the last time I saw each of my grandparents, as I saw them so seldom in my life. One is still living, but now she has Alzheimer's. I'm glad I got to see her before it took over.ReplyDelete
Becky, Apple, and Miriam - Thank you so much for your kind comments. Because I had fewer contacts with my father's family than with my mother's and because some of those memories are fading, I felt it was important to put them down in writing now. As for the trials, right now the only evidence I have are the receipts of the officials who rounded up witnesses for the trials. However, those give me the docket numbers, so I am hoping that the surviving materials of the Republic of Texas (these trials were in the 1840s) include something by way of trial transcripts. If so, this area of research should be interesting....ReplyDelete

Mods: Didn't see a thread for this, so if there is one, I apologizeThese are hitting TRUs I guess, as I saw cases of them on the top shelf at my local "rich part of town" TRU today. Price was $129.99. I still need a Big AT-AT but might just buy one of the Hoth ones since they're the same price and I'm not that into the muddy paintjob.
With the $250 BMF sitting right next to it, the Endor AT-AT looks like a bargain. I was really expecting the AT-AT to be $160 while the old stock of Hoth be $120.
I think Jeff mentioned somewhere that the Falcon will be on sale next week(ish)
According to JTA, the Falcon will be going on sale for $180 next week. If you can get the 15% off credit card deal next week, you could get that down to about $165 with tax.
Ya I agree...Could have saved $50 on one of my Amazon purchases this week, but decided not to go that route.Not a bad deal though if you can find 20% off coupon or something...
No, they were in the case on the top shelf... I assumed they were Endor sets because they had price stickers on the case that said "Endor AT-AT."I did go back to the same TRU the other day and ALL the AT-ATs were gone, including the old 2010 ones they had on the bottom shelf.
Hasbro announced that this was slated for an October release at Comic-Con, and while the Endor AT-AT was released at ToysRUs Canada (at a $149.99 CDN pricepoint), it has yet to show up on U.S. shelves for the holiday shopping season, raising speculation that it may have been bumped to next spring. Why the bump? Perhaps TRU needed a spring exclusive, and with the blue boxed AT-AT readily available online and in stores and the Vintage BMF being the huge exclusive ship of the season for the retailer, it may not be a bad move. There's still a chance this may show up in the next few weeks, but it's looking more like it's been held back.

General surgeons bring quality care to Clarksville, Chase City
Michelle Helms, M.D., a general surgeon at Sentara Halifax General Surgery, will begin seeing surgical patients at Sentara Clarksville Family Medicine this month. On Friday, July 17, and every other Friday thereafter from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m., Dr. Helms will see patients who may need a surgery consultation or a follow-up visit after surgery, but don't want to travel to South Boston from their home in Mecklenburg County.
Dr. Helms believes that the convenience of having a consultation and follow-up visit close to home will make the process of having surgery easier on her patients.
"Having surgery can be a stressful time for many people. By keeping them closer to home during consultation and for their follow-up visit during the recovery period, we hope to reduce stress and make life easier for our surgical patients," says Dr. Helms. "Improving the patient's experience is our top priority and we believe that bringing surgical care to Sentara Clarksville Family Medicine is a great way to achieve this goal."
In addition, Michael Tozzi, M.D., also of Sentara Halifax General Surgery, is seeing surgical patients at Sentara Chase City Family Medicine every other Thursday from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. With the ability to follow-up on surgical procedures without extended travel, Dr. Tozzi hopes that patients will see the value in choosing Sentara Halifax General Surgery for their care.
"By reducing travel time for our surgical patients, we hope to put them at ease during a time in their life that might otherwise be difficult," says Dr. Tozzi. "We are very patient-focused and these office hours are a natural extension of our high-quality healthcare efforts."
By reducing stress and travel time, Dr. Helms and Dr. Tozzi hope that patients will feel more positive about their surgical procedures and will have a better recovery experience as well.
For more information about Dr. Helms and Dr. Tozzi or to make an appointment, call Sentara Halifax General Surgery at 434-517-3910.

Exploring and Understunding Gender in Education
A Qualitative Research Manual for Education Practitioners and Genders Focal Points
Author/Publisher: UNESCO
Language: English
Download: PDF
Gender refers to the social roles and responsibilities that are believed to belong to men and women within a particular social group; for example, men as income earners and women as child caregivers. Gender roles are created by a society and are learned from one generation to the next as part of a societys culture. Because gender is a socially learned perception (for instance, learned in the family or in school), anything associated with it can be changed to achieve equity and equality for both women and men. In other words, we can change the gender roles of women as child caregivers to women as income earners, men as income earners to men as child caregivers, or, better yet, men and women as income earners and child caregivers.
Conducting qualitative research into gender in education means exploring and understanding the ways in which these socially-defined roles and responsibilities are reflected in our classrooms, schools, communities, and the educational system, and how they may place one sex (girls or boys) at a disadvantage. For instance, do they affect whether or not girls and boys have equal opportunities to enter school? Do they affect how girls and boys interact with each other as equals? Do they affect how girls and boys interact with their teachers (male and female)? Are these roles and responsibilities reflected as gender stereotypes in the curriculum the children are taught, in the textbooks that they use, as well as in the wider educational system of which they are a part?
The goal of qualitative research into gender in education is to contribute to ensuring gender equality for girls and boys and to eliminating gender stereotyping. This means that girls and boys have equal opportunities to enter school as well as equal opportunities to participate in, and benefit from, the range of subjects or other learning experiences that are offered in classrooms and schools. They are equally equipped with skills and attitudes that will help them to achieve their fullest potential within and outside of the educational system regardless of their sex.

A 10-day-old puppy was buried alive and found on Sept. "Animal abusers are cowards," says PETA Manager Martin Mersereau. "They take their issues out on the most defenseless beings available to them. Area residents have good reason to be concerned when a helpless, days-old animal is buried alive.
According to law-enforcement agencies and leading mental-health professionals, perpetrators of violent acts against animals are often repeat offenders who pose a serious threat to all animals—including humans."
Anyone with information about this case is encouraged to contact the Williston Police Department at 352-528-4991.
For more information, please visit PETA.or27 by Williston police when they heard whimpering. Police have yet to make any arrests in connection with the burial and abandonment of this puppy.

If there's one thing we have as women, its opinions. I'd like to issue a friendly reminder to Catholic wives and mothers that personal opinions on motherhood and issues of morality are two different things.
In other words: mind your own motherhood!
A holy mother has many faces, friends. She may wear different hats. They may be hats you don't think look good on her.
A holy mother may not breastfeed, use cloth diapers or co-sleep. Or she may. A holy mother may make the baby cry it out. Or not. She may send six kids to public school or stay home full-time and home school one.
There are some popular phrases that some women have been using as weapons on fellow mothers:
"We are the first and primary educators of our children" is slug like mud at mothers who send children to school.
We are the first and primary educators of our children. Education is an important and private discernment process where God may reveal his will in differing ways.
"I could NEVER leave MY kids," is casually said to mothers who leave the home for work, implying they love their children less than mothers who stay home.
That mother may not be able to leave her kids because she may be called to be home. This does not make her calling superior or her children "better off" then those of a mother who leaves.
I've recently been noticing an elitist attitude from stay-at-home (and some school-at -home) mothers in my life and in the media and blog world.
It is only "acceptable" for a mother to be called to work outside of the home if it is financially necessary for her family. When that time passes she can go home, where she "should" be.
Mother's who leave the home to work even though she doesn't need to financially may indeed be called to a mission in the world in addition to her vocation at home.
A holy mother may set her college degrees aside and stay home with her children full-time. She may make her husband lunch and have dinner ready when he returns home. A holy mother may have a husband who does laundry and cleans the kitchen.
A holy mother may work outside the home – whether or not her family needs the money.
A holy mother discerns her life putting her vocation as wife and mother first. Her discernment is between herself, her husband and the Lord. A holy mother will do so with a formed conscience. What she is called to is divinely perfect.
Who are we to question how and why God calls anyone, mother or not?
Our thoughts of each other are so disordered they've been exploited and are used as entertainment in the blogs and media sources.
Stop it! We're making Christian motherhood look bad – as if we can't handle our vocation. It's embarrassing and shameful.
Mind your own motherhood.
Let's stop tearing each other down and looking down our noses at those God has called to our same vocation. We've got the same goal, friends! Let's serve each other in the absence of judgment with encouragement and support so we can best serve our vocations.
Mind your own motherhood. I'll try to do the same.

|Classic tuna salad mixture of tuna, hard boiled eggs, green onion, celery, pickles and dressed with mustard and mayonnaise.
Tuna and Egg SaladNow honestly, I guess I wouldn't generally post about making something as simple as an egg salad, or here, tuna and egg salad. Or, maybe I would {scratches head} dunno... but, it is Lent afterall and I'm tryin' to do my best to stay away from meat on Fridays and so, I wanted some tuna and egg salad for lunch - so I figured what the heck.
It sure brings back a lot of memories to back in the day, my first apartment all on my own, and eating a lot of tuna and egg salad and tuna noodle salad. I could mix up a big batch of that noodle salad (which is this plus some elbow mac), and literally eat on it for days, making it pretty budget friendly. Sometimes I'd add in the boiled eggs, sometimes I'd leave out the pickles, and frankly, just macaroni, tuna, onion and mayo with some basic seasonings, most of the time.
Then ... I got to wondering ...
I know. I'm such a deep thinker.
But seriously, as I was puttin' mine together, which I always do the same way, all the time, all my life, I got to really wondering how do other people make their tuna salad? Afterall, folks do land here from the interwebs looking for recipes for egg salad, tuna salad and tuna noodle salad.
By the way, if you struggle with those darned boiled eggs, check out my method by clicking here. It's all about osmosis y'all!
How do you do your tuna salad Are you a sweet pickle person? Or a dill pickle person? Or ... no pickles at all person?

Chinese students are sometimes ordered to work long hours in factories.
That's one way factories there cope with sudden upswings in demand, reports The New York Times.
HP just told its Chinese suppliers that they can't do that anymore.
HP has limited the number of students its factories can hire. It also told suppliers that all students and temp workers must be voluntary workers and that means they must be "free to leave" the factory "without negative repercussions."
It also told them they can't abuse these workers in a bunch of other ways.
HP isn't the first to push its Chinese suppliers to improve working conditions. After a lot of public outcry, Apple joined the Fair Labor Association last year. But then its main supplier, Foxconn, landed in hot water again over this whole issue of allegedly forcing students to work and calling them interns.
For all the struggles and drama that constantly embroils HP, we applaud the company for taking this step.

No. 87,560
J. D. HOMES OF OLATHE, INC., et al.,
1. K.S.A. 2001 Supp. 60-2202(a) is cited and applied.
2. Statutory interpretation is a question of law, and this court's review is unlimited.
3. A mortgagee does not acquire an interest in the mortgaged property. Rather, the mortgagee acquires a lien securing the debt. Since the mortgagee only has a lien on the mortgaged property, it is not entitled to possession of the property. Consequently, a mortgagee cannot be liable for nuisance abatement on the mortgaged property.
4. K.S.A. 60-1301 is cited and applied.
5. A receivership does not operate to alter, modify, or terminate obligations and liabilities of the corporation or person in receivership.
6. A receiver is not liable for a nuisance created before the receiver was appointed.
Appeal from Johnson District Court; JOHN P. BENNETT, judge. Opinion filed July 26, 2002. Affirmed.
John Anderson, Jr., of Leawood, for appellant.
O. P. Peterson, Jr., and Joanne B. Stutz, of Evans & Mullinix, P.A., of Shawnee, for appellee.
Before MARQUARDT, P.J., ELLIOTT and GERNON, JJ.
GERNON, J.: Raintree Homes Association, Inc., (Raintree) appeals the decision of the district court in a mortgage foreclosure case concerning real property on which a nuisance had been found to exist. We affirm.
In December 1999, Raintree, a not-for-profit home association in Olathe, Kansas, filed a petition against J. D. Homes, Inc., (J. D. Homes) and Premier Bank (Premier), alleging, inter alia, that a nuisance had been created on building sites owned by Raintree in Olathe. J. D. Homes was involved in building and improving residential lots on the site. Premier provided the mortgages on the lots.
The nuisance claimed by Raintree consisted of trash, dirt, rock, and lumber scattered throughout the property that allegedly affected the enjoyment and ownership of the Raintree Condominiums by their owners. Raintree sought $11,973.50 in damages.
J. D. Homes admitted to creating the nuisance on Raintree's property. The trial court found that J. D. Homes created and maintained a nuisance on the property, ordered that it be abated, and granted a judgment for $11,973.50.
In January 2000, Premier filed a mortgage foreclosure action on the Olathe property. The case was filed in Johnson County, as was the nuisance action. The foreclosure petition alleged that J. D. Homes had failed and refused to pay the outstanding loan principal and accrued interest on the property. The court appointed a receiver to prevent a further nuisance on the property and to manage it.
Premier filed a motion for summary judgment in its foreclosure action. Raintree countered with a motion to stay summary judgment and to compel abatement of the adjudicated nuisance.
The court granted Premier's motion for summary judgment and entered judgment against J. D. Homes for $267,908.46 plus interest. After a sheriff's sale, the court determined that Premier had a first and prior lien over the sale proceeds. Raintree appeals.
Raintree argues that the judgment for street repairs stemming from the damage caused by the nuisance is prior in right to Premier's mortgage. Premier counters that the trial court properly exercised the discretion it had to determine the priority of the distribution of the proceeds from the sale.
McFall v. Ford, 133 Kan. 593, 1 P.2d 273 (1931), concerns a very similar situation. A bank in Wichita filed three actions to foreclose on three tracts of land owned by the mortgagor, M. C. Combs. A judgment was entered for the bank and against Combs in each case. On the same day as that judgment was entered, Katie Thomas was awarded a personal judgment against Combs and a judgment for foreclosure. Later, some of the land involved in the bank's case was sold, with none of Thomas' judgment having been satisfied.
According to the court, when two of the foreclosure lawsuits were filed, Thomas had no lien on those tracts. However, when Thomas won a judgment of foreclosure on one of the tracts, her judgment became a lien on the other tracts. As support for the last contention, the court cited R. S. 1923 60-3126, which stated: "Judgments of courts of record of this state, and of courts of the United States rendered within this state, shall be liens on the real estate of the debtor within the county in which the judgment is rendered." The court decided Thomas' lien "originated in her judgment, and the [bank's] liens were necessarily superior to the lien which [Thomas] acquired." 133 Kan. at 595.
The modern version of the statute cited in McFall is K.S.A. 2001 Supp. 60-2202(a):
"Any judgment rendered in this state by a court of the United States or by a district court of this state in an action commenced under chapter 60 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated shall be a lien on the real estate of the judgment debtor within the county in which judgment is rendered. Except as provided in subsection (c), the lien shall be effective from the time at which the petition stating the claim against the judgment debtor was filed but not to exceed four months prior to the entry of the judgment."
Statutory interpretation is a question of law, and this court's review is unlimited. See Babe Houser Motor Co. v. Tetreault, 270 Kan. 502, 506, 14 P.3d 1149 (2000).
Pursuant to 60-2202(a), the judgment against J. D. Homes for the nuisance was a lien on J. D. Homes' real estate located in Johnson County. Raintree's petition was filed on December 7, 1999, and the judgment was entered on June 29, 2000. Raintree's lien was, therefore, effective on February 29, 2000. Premier's lien was effective on July 24, 1997, the day the promissory note was prepared.
The trial court was correct in finding that Premier's lien had priority.
Raintree claims that Premier became a transferee of the property when it filed a foreclosure action on the property and a receiver was appointed to manage the property. Premier asserts that it never held title to the Olathe property and any responsibility to abate the nuisance was with the new owner, A & H Properties, and not with Premier. A & H Properties purchased the property on March 30, 2001.
Raintree's first argument is that Premier is liable for the abatement because Premier filed a foreclosure action on the property. Although this issue is one of first impression in Kansas, the legal theory behind it can be analogized to the lien theory/title theory of mortgage law.
Kansas is a lien theory state, not a title theory state. "In a 'title theory' jurisdiction . . . the mortgage is viewed as a form of title to property. [Citation omitted.] In lien theory states, a mortgagee is not entitled to immediate possession of the property upon default because the mortgage is merely a lien and not a form of title. [Citations omitted.]" Hoelting Enterprises v. Trailridge Investors, L.P., 17 Kan. App. 2d 777, 783, 844 P.2d 745, rev. denied 252 Kan. 1092 (1993).
Under Kansas law, a mortgagee does not acquire an interest in the property, either before or after the promise to pay is broken, "'"but acquires only a lien securing the indebtedness described in the instrument."' [Citations omitted.]" 17 Kan. App. 2d at 783.
Premier, as the mortgagee, only had a lien on the property and was not entitled to possess the property. Since Premier could not possess the property upon filing a foreclosure action, it logically follows that it should not be liable for nuisance abatement on that property. The filing of the foreclosure action by Premier was an acceptable exercise of its rights under the mortgage. If the law were as Raintree suggests, no mortgagee would ever foreclose on a piece of property for fear it would be liable for judgments on the property.
Premier did not become liable for the nuisance abatement simply by filing a foreclosure action against Raintree. If that were the case, mortgage lending would carry a potentially heavy price for the lending institution. Such a decision would have a chilling effect on mortgage lending in this state. In addition, assessing liability against Premier would run counter to the notion that Kansas is a lien theory state.
Raintree's second argument that Premier is liable for the abatement because a receiver was appointed to manage the property also fails.
Pursuant to K.S.A. 60-1301, a district judge has the authority to appoint a receiver, and the receiver's duty "shall be to keep, preserve, and manage all property and protect any business or business interest entrusted to the receiver" pending the determination of the case.
Here, a receiver was appointed by the court in January 2000. The duties of the receiver included:
"1. . . . (i) manag[ing] said real estate and [taking] whatever actions are necessary to protect, preserve and prevent the same from further waste, damage or destruction; (ii) [taking] any action necessary to complete construction of the improvements if it is deemed to be in the best interest of [Premier]; (iii) collect[ing] all income, rents and profits; and (iv) [having] the net proceeds derived from the collection of all income, rents and profits applied to the indebtedness of [J. D. Homes] owed to [Premier].
"2. That this receivership shall continue until further Order of this Court.
"3. That the receiver shall submit a final accounting of its receipts and disbursements upon termination of the receivership."
"A receivership does not operate to alter, modify, or terminate obligations and liabilities of the corporation or person in receivership." 65 Am. Jur. 2d, Receivers § 284, p. 867. The issue of whether a receiver is liable for a nuisance created before the receiver was appointed is one of first impression in Kansas. As such, the law of sister states will need to be considered.
In Bartlett v. Cicero Light Co., 177 Ill. 68, 52 N.E. 339 (1898), a receiver was appointed for Cicero Light, Heat and Power Company (Cicero). Two months later, and still during the receiver's appointment, a young man was killed while working at Cicero. The machinery which killed the man was negligently installed prior to Cicero being placed in receivership. The man's father filed an action to recover for the death of his son. The father sued Cicero, claiming, inter alia, the receiver negligently managed the machinery his son came into contact with, thereby causing his death At the time the suit was filed, the receiver had been discharged by a stipulation of the parties.
The Supreme Court of Illinois identified the issue in the case as whether Cicero could be liable for damages that occurred during the course of the receivership. 177 Ill. at 73. The court held that "a judgment, rendered while the receiver is in possession, should provide for its payment out of the trust fund or the property in the hands of the receiver or under his control." 177 Ill. at 76. Since the receiver had been discharged, however, Cicero itself was liable. 177 Ill. at 76.
Raintree's case differs from Bartlett, though, in an important respect. The receiver did not cause the damages Raintree wants Premier to pay for; J. D. Homes admitted to causing the nuisance before the receiver was appointed.
In Bush, Recr., v. Stephens, 131 Ark. 133, 197 S.W. 1157 (1917), Stephens sued a railroad company and its receiver, Bush, for negligent construction of a railroad over a water source. The trial court did not allow a judgment against Bush for damages arising from a tort committed by the railroad company before Bush was appointed.
On appeal, the Arkansas Supreme Court originally ruled that Bush could be sued by Stephens because as a receiver, Bush stood in the shoes of the corporation for litigation purposes. 131 Ark. 140. On a rehearing, however, the court reversed itself, ruling it was in error when it held that Stephens was entitled to a judgment against Bush. 131 Ark. 141. The court cited cases from Maryland, New York, and Arkansas in reaching its decision. 131 Ark. 141-42.
The gravamen of the court's decision was that a receiver cannot be liable for torts committed prior to his or her appointment. 131 Ark. 141. An action for negligence brought against a receiver for actions that happened prior to his or her appointment cannot be sustained. 131 Ark. 141. The corporation for which the receiver is appointed is still responsible for its actions, contracts, and covenants, much as if the receiver did not exist. 131 Ark. 142.
Here, a receiver was appointed, and Raintree seeks to have Premier held responsible for abating a nuisance that existed prior to the receiver's appointment. Under the persuasive precedence of Bush, such an argument must fail. Premier was not responsible for the abatement of the nuisance; therefore, no liability should attach. The trial court was correct.
We have considered appellee's motion for attorney fees and deny the motion.

I have a taxonomy eg. authors. I want to create a custom UI for. I think integrating with a Meta Box together with other post meta will make things easier for the user. Also I think a jQuery UI AutoComplete (Multiple comma separated values) is more appropriate
So I will need to know how I can "update_post_taxonomy". I suppose I will need to
- if taxonomy does not exists
- create it
- if post does not have the taxonomy term
- add it
- remove terms that are not specified by user
I am sure there are functions for this?

Kyle Kendrick came through big time last night but the offense couldn't muster much against Roy Oswalt, who snapped a career-high three-game losing streak and who beat us for the sixth straight time.
Kyle was really sharp, retiring 13 of the last 14 batters he faced. He pitches like that and we'll be in good shape. It was the staff's ninth quality start.
A year ago, the Phillies scored 1 or fewer runs 11 times. They bounced back and won 9 of the 11 games the next day.
This year, came back with an 8-run win after scoring 1 the previous game. That bodes well for this afternoon as we need a win to make it 2-out-of-3.
Big Weekend
The New York-Philly rivalry heats up as the Mets come to town for three night games.
Johan Santana vs. Cole Hamels tomorrow night. What a match-up! Hitters will get a steady diet of change ups.
Both tomorrow and Saturday are sell outs and a limited number of seats are available for Sunday. As is club policy, 500 standing room tickets will be available for each game. For Friday, those tickets go on sale at 4 in the afternoon; Saturday, 12 noon and Sunday, 4 p.m. again.
National TV
Both Saturday and Sunday are on national TV.
Joe Buck and Tim McCarver will be here for Saturday's 3:55 FOX game of the week. Jon Miller and Joe Morgan will be in the booth for ESPN's Sunday Night telecast, an 8:05 p.m. start.
Down On The Farm
Thought I came up with a brilliant idea yesterday by letting you know a daily Down On The Farm feature will be part of this blog.
Well, guess what? That already appears on phillies.com, thanks to the folks at MilB.com, the minor league site.

Oldest skeleton found in South Australia
500 million year old fossil like 'a thimble with needles'
Researchers from the University of California Riverside and the South Australian Museum have turned up a surprising creature more than half a billion years old, showing signs of a skeleton.
The find, called Coronacollina acula, is the oldest fossil so far discovered to show signs of 'hard structure' development, the researchers say.

According to UC Riverside professor Mary Droser, it's the first fossil to show "skeletal body parts" in pre-Cambrian specimens. The Cambrian period from 542-488 million years ago, showed a huge diversification of life, while the Coronacollina acula specimen dates from the Ediacaran period, from 630-542 million years ago.
Droser also says the fossil provides a link between the two periods, "a precursor of organisms seen in the Cambrian. This is tremendously exciting because it's the first appearance of one of the major novelties of animal evolution".
The creature, a sponge-like animal that may have grown as large as 5 cm, isn't observed directly: it's spotted as a small depression in fossils. Living on the sea floor, the scientists believe the 20-to-40 needle-like 'spicules' attached to help support the structure.
While its sponge-like body didn't survive the millions of years that have passed, the spicules did: they became mineralized.
Coronacollina acula was immobile, and while it was gregarious (with hundreds living together, according to Droser), its reproduction remains a mystery.
The research is published in the journal Geology (abstract). ®

I have attempted to install 22.214.171.124 on my S-ATA drive with no success, it hangs when triying to load via_sata vt6420. I have tried the other suggestions from the forum about changing my settings in BIOS but I only have two options; sata=enable or sata=disable. I have had this same problem on this system when installing Mandriva 2006 but found that the boot option "linux noapic" solves the problem. I don't see this boot option on Pluto but tried it anyway, do difference. Does anyone know if this boot option is available and if so how to specify it? If not what would it take to get it in, looks like S-ATA causes problems for lots of folks.

Politics & Government
Obama hurting Shaheen in tight N.H. Senate race
New Hampshire's U.S. Senate race is a virtual dead heat, as incumbent Democrat Jeanne Shaheen is being hurt badly by President Barack Obama's sagging approval numbers.
Most voters have yet to make up their minds, according to a new WMUR Granite State poll. Only 27 percent say they've definitely decided who to back. Republicans are eyeing a big pickup here, as Shaheen is likely to be challenged by Scott Brown, who had been a U.S. senator from Massachusetts. Nominees will be chosen in a Sept. 9 primary.
If the election were held today, 46 percent of likely voters said they'd back Shaheen, while 44 percent would support Brown.
"Shaheen has long been popular in New Hampshire, and she has led Brown throughout the spring and summer, but her campaign is being weighed down by national politics, particularly the declining popularity of President Obama," said a University of New Hampshire Survey Center analysis.
Thirty-seven percent approve of the job Obama is doing as president. But 59 percent disapprove, and Brown leads 71 to 17 percent with this group.

the blue umbrella
it is in the spring that new york turns wet.
wet and gray.
it is a different sort of wet than winter. a different sort of gray. it is a hazy weather, peppered by the most glorious and vibrant sun-drenched days.
i didn't understand spring till i moved to new york. didn't love spring until i lived here.
i think there is no more beautiful sound than a steady rain tapping and knocking at the window. i remember a particular night as a young girl being awoken by it. turning over to watch it stream down the diamond-latticed window. how i fought that night to stay awake, just to listen. but sleep won and i fell under.
each spring i watch as new yorkers around me become enraged by the constant showers. the gray and the mess and the inconvenience of it. (inconvenience. what an unimportant word. sometimes i think the word of manhattan is convenience, which is almost entirely why i want nothing to do with the place. no, that's not true, the word of midtown is convenience. i'll happily take the rest of the manhattan). i watch as new yorkers are undone by the rain and i want to say, it happens every spring. every spring we get rain like this. why are you surprised? we have a short memory for weather here. it helps us survive.
but as others loft curses and epithets skyward i rejoice. i love the rain. i have always loved the rain. i think it's the texan in me. the texan who understands the progression of that odd mix of black and green as it moves in and fills the air. the texan who craves the low-roll of thunder. the texan who thinks few things more beautiful than lightning illuminating a low, wide sky, if only for a moment.
i was explaining this recently. sitting in a small french gastrotque in the west village, my blue umbrella poking from my purse. i was explaining this deep, guttural need for rain when mid-sentence, the man across the table, leaned right in and kissed me. the kind of kiss that is unhurried and easy, having almost nothing and everything to do with the subject at hand. and when he pulled away, my fingers still on his beard, he looked at me, pursed his lips, settled back in his chair and said, i interrupted you, what were you saying? something about rain, i trailed off. there are some things i like even more than a thunderstorm.

Some of the parent's responsibilities related to the Aaronic Priesthood include:
Preparation of Young Men to Receive the Aaronic Priesthood
8.6.1 The parents of a 10- or 11-year-old boy have the primary responsibility for helping him prepare to receive the Aaronic Priesthood. Other family members and home teachers assist.
1.4.1 Parents have the primary responsibility for helping their children know Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ (see John 17:3). Latter-day Saint fathers and mothers have been commanded to teach gospel doctrines, ordinances, covenants, and ways of righteous living to their children (see D&C 68:25–28). Children who are so reared and taught are more likely to be prepared at the appropriate age to receive priesthood ordinances and to make and keep covenants with God.
Blessings of the Priesthood—The priesthood is the power of God and is given to man to act in His name. (3:04)
Spiritual and Physical Welfare
8.2 Parents have the first responsibility for the spiritual and physical welfare of their children (see D&C 68:25–28). The bishopric and other Aaronic Priesthood leaders support but do not replace parents in this responsibility. They offer support in the following ways:
- They assist parents in helping their sons prepare for priesthood ordinations, the temple endowment, full-time missionary service, temple marriage, and fatherhood.
- They encourage communication between young men and their parents.
- They ensure that quorum activities and other youth events do not put undue burdens on families or compete with family activities.
Leaders should be especially sensitive to young men who come from homes that lack strong support for gospel living.
A Father Indeed—The story of a committed husband and father who consistently demonstrates his love and devotion to his wife and children. (7:08)
Support for the Purposes of the Aaronic Priesthood
8.1.3 Young men are in a time of preparation and personal spiritual growth. Accordingly, parents and the bishopric and other Aaronic Priesthood leaders help each young man to:
- Become converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ and live by its teachings.
- Serve faithfully in priesthood callings and fulfill the responsibilities of priesthood offices.
- Give meaningful service.
- Prepare and live worthily to receive the Melchizedek Priesthood and temple ordinances.
- Prepare to serve an honorable full-time mission.
- Obtain as much education as possible.
- Prepare to become a worthy husband and father.
- Give proper respect to women, girls, and children.
Parents and leaders help young men accomplish these objectives in family home evenings, family scripture study, meetings, activities, and interviews and by encouraging them to participate in the Duty to God program (see 8.12).
Let Us Be Men—A true man makes sacrifices in order to honor his commitments. (3:11)
Care and Strengthening of Young Men
8.3.1 The bishop oversees the Aaronic Priesthood quorums in the ward. He and his counselors comprise the bishopric and the presidency of the Aaronic Priesthood in the ward (see D&C 107:13–15). They watch over and strengthen individual young men, working closely with parents and with other leaders.
Parenting: Touching the Hearts of Our Youth—Effective parenting means taking the time to listen and to understand the hearts of our children so that we can grow together in faith, friendship, and love. (3:02)
Preparation of Young Men for Full-Time Missions
8.7 Parents have the primary responsibility for helping their sons prepare to serve full-time missions. Other family members, bishopric members, Aaronic Priesthood quorum presidencies and advisers, home teachers, and others support parents in this effort.
Missionary Work: A Priesthood Duty—President Thomas S. Monson speaks to young people about missionary service—a duty for young men and a rewarding option for young women.
Your Day for a Mission—At 18, Sid Going was a shoo-in for New Zealand's national rugby team, but he chose to serve a mission first. Elder Neil L. Andersen tells why Sid made this decision and shares his testimony that the blessings of a mission outweigh any sacrifice.
A Work in Progress—His basketball dreams almost didn't come true, but then Tyler Haws learned where hard work and dedication can lead.
Young Men's Participation in the Duty to God Program
8.12 Duty to God Program—All Aaronic Priesthood holders are encouraged to participate in the Duty to God program. This program gives Aaronic Priesthood holders opportunities to develop spiritual strength, learn and fulfill their priesthood duties, prepare to receive the Melchizedek Priesthood and serve full-time missions, maintain physical health, and improve their relationships with others. Parents and leaders encourage young men to participate in the program soon after they are ordained to their first priesthood office. Young men continue to set goals throughout their years in the Aaronic Priesthood.
Instructions for Young Men, Parents, and Leaders
Fulfilling Your Duty to God—"When you make a goal in Duty to God, you're making a commitment to your Heavenly Father that you're going to do something. It's your duty to Him."
My Duty to God—A deacons quorum president explains how he fulfills his duty to God by serving a member of his quorum.

Site C Dam Is Unneeded Archaic Mega-Project
We question where the region's breaking point is. We question how much is too much. We want to be clear that we are not opposed to development opportunities, our region has been welcoming oil, gas and mining projects for nearly 60 years. We simply want developers and government, including organizations like BC Hydro to respect the rights and values of those who live here every day.

Each print is released in a limited edition of 20 prints.

Nutritional Status Druring Treatment for Head and Neck Cancer
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My father was recently diagnosed with epiglottis cancer, and he just had his first chemo treatment and the first week of radiation. Are there any suggestions that you have in regards to what he would be able to eat? Should we have a nutritionist? Your article was very informational, thank you. You told me things that his doctor has not. I look forward to your response.
Harry Quon, MD, MS (CRM), Assistant Professor of Radiation Oncology at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Definitely see a nutritionist. The reason is that the normal diet an individual will be able to take orally will be affected. We know now that maintaining as much of an oral diet as possible is beneficial during a course of radiation, likely due to the maintenance of muscle tone. Keeping up your muscle tone increases the likelihood of maintaining future swallow function, and should be encouraged as much as possible. This should of course be balanced against too much swallowing, which could place the patient at risk for developing serious aspiration pneumonia. The ability to maintain some oral diet is different for different sites of cancer involvement. It is easier for nasopharynx cancers than oropharynx cancers, and is most challenging for cancers of the larynx and hypophyarnx. For the epiglottis, it is likely that with the use of concurrent chemotherapy, the patient will still need the use of a PEG tube to support nutrition. The nutritionist's role is to ensure that when the oral diet is supplemented or replaced by PEG feeds, the patient must receive the necessary amounts of fluid and nutritional intake. The change in the way one maintains his/her nutrition during a course of radiation can also affect other medical conditions such as hypertension, diabetes and congestive heart failure, and thus need to be coordinated with a nutritionist who has an intimate understanding of the makeup of various supplements.

For all those who have succumbed to playing the late night trivia game "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon", you know it is based on the assumption that any actor can be linked through his or her film roles to actor Kevin Bacon within six steps. The game is a play on the network idea "Six Degrees of Separation" that everyone is at most six steps away from any other person on Earth.
What I have come to realize week one into my placement as a brand new Kiva Fellow is Kevin Bacon is to Hollywood as Kiva Fellows are to the world of microfinance. Our role is to facilitate connections between Kiva borrowers, Kiva lenders, partner microfinance institutions, and the team at Kiva.org. As Kiva Fellows, we play a pivotal role in Kiva's mission to "connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty".
Our multiple responsibilities working with various key stakeholders include:
-Writing blog postings and borrower journals to connect borrowers with lenders
-Working in the field helping our partner MFI (microfinance institution) leverage its partnership with Kiva
-Developing rich borrower profiles and verifying client waivers to protect the confidentiality and dignity of our borrowers
-Supporting the mission and continual improvement of Kiva.org
I feel privileged and honored to serve as a new Kiva Fellow in the Philippines with partner Ahon sa Hirap, Inc. Hopefully, I, together with my devoted KF10 classmates can challenge the "Kevin Bacon" game and connect people in less than six degrees of separation for the "sake of alleviating poverty." It's a small world after all.
Thank you for joining my journey.

Christina Reyes is a KF10 Kiva Fellow serving her placement with Ahon sa Hirap (ASHI) in the Philippines. As a first generation Filipino-American, she feels especially honored to pay it forward in a country so close to her heart.

Thompson's defeat surprises me a little. Wisconsin has tilted back to the Dems.
As for the Senate as a whole, it may be a scramble just to keep the current 53(D)-47(R) composition.
STEVE adds: I'm not hugely surprised by this. I thought all along that Thompson was the GOP's Mondale; past his time; worn out his welcome. I thought he'd probably win, but thought he'd be vulnerable if he ran a bad campaign, which it seems he did.
