Pueblo, CO
Overview of Pueblo
Home to more than 107,500 people, Pueblo, Colo., is located about 45 miles south of Colorado Springs. The standalone city is located on the Arkansas River and Fountain Creek, making it an important trading center for southeastern Colorado. With a diverse population and unique heritage, Pueblo boasts a standout dining scene and an unsurpassed work ethic. The city's two nicknames are "Steel City" - which it earned by becoming one of the largest steel-producing cities in the country - and "Home of Heroes." Pueblo is the Home of Heroes because it is home to four Medal of Honor recipients, which is more per capita than any other city in the United States.
Originally a small fort called Fort Pueblo, the city has transformed itself over time. When ore mines came to the area, the tiny fort began to grow, especially because of its riverside location. The towns of Pueblo, South Pueblo, Central Pueblo and Bessemer evolved from the spread of the ore mining industry, and were eventually combined to form modern-day Pueblo. No matter which district of Pueblo they choose to settle in, those searching for Pueblo apartments for rent will enjoy a peaceful yet fun lifestyle in this mid-sized metro area.
Living in Pueblo, CO
Those who adore small cities will love Pueblo. Though it is an hour's drive to Colorado Springs, Pueblo itself has much to offer. The Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo features a charming promenade and riverwalk reminiscent of times gone by. In the 1920s, this riverwalk was a thriving community gathering spot; however, the entire park was destroyed in a flood and fell into disrepair over decades. This 32-acre waterfront park is now open to the public after years of unusability.
Pueblo's household demographics are as diverse as its cuisine: About 57 percent of households are comprised of families, while 42 percent of households are made up of singles, roommates and other non-family arrangements. The median age in the city is 38, and a healthy 23.2 percent of the population consists of individuals younger than 18. People from all walks of live will enjoy Pueblo's amenities and charms.
Pueblo Work and Study
Pueblo is home to Colorado State University - Pueblo and Pueblo Community College. Together, these schools enroll about 6,700 students each year. Outside of the city, the nearest institutes of higher learning are located about 40 miles away in Colorado Springs.
Because it is the largest city in its immediate area, Pueblo serves as a regional employment hub. As a matter of fact, an impressive 76.1 percent of residents live and work within Pueblo. The city also sees its population increase by about 3.3 percent on workdays due to commuting. According to the city's 2011 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, the top employers in Pueblo are School District no. 60, Parkview Hospital Medical Center, Walmart, Pueblo County, School District no. 70, St. Mary Corwin Hospital and Evraz, Inc.
Rentals in Pueblo, CO and Cost of Living
Those searching for Pueblo apartments will be happy to learn that Pueblo's cost of living index is 93.6, which is 6.4 percent lower than the U.S. average. Additionally, about 42 percent of homes in the city are renter-occupied units. The median gross rent in the city is just $700 per month. New residents will want to remember, however, that Pueblo is removed from large cities. Commuting and traveling costs should be factored into monthly budgets.
Pueblo Attractions and Special Events
Pueblo's city park offers inexpensive thrill rides like roller coasters and a carousel, and even includes a zoo with more than 400 animal residents. Special events, like National Hot Dog Day, Hawaiian Night and National Ice Cream Day, are also celebrated at the park. Other favorite local attractions include Pueblo State Park, Rosemount Museum and Bent's Old Fort National Historic Site.

Peeing in Pools with Ryan Lochte
Ryan Lochte clears up any and all confusion surrounding peeing in pools.

This item was not as expected and the sizing is way off. The shoe runs very small and narrow and is so not comfortable. The fuzzy material doesn't stay in place as it should. However, keeping the Croc as an emergency pair for a family member to use. Easier than the hassle of returning.

Love these, but trying
When you wash your liner and try to remove the insert and put them back on.
It is VERY hard to do, not user friendly......it was so hard to do my thumb and finger are raw.
You would think that this would be a little easier with a snap instead of the rivet. They also are way to big without the insert, I can't wear them without it.
Very comfortable and love them otherwise.

Not as expected
The shoes are comfy except it is kind of big in the front, and does feel like I am walking on a giant shoes. It probably would look more style if it were a little narrower in the front. It is kind of big and loose once I remove the insert. The insert also comes out every time I take off my shoes.

American Baby's Baby Booty: Win a Pair of Toe Blooms
I am mildly obsessed with baby feet. Why must they be so chunky and squeezable?! I didn't love them so much until I had my own babies; now I can't get enough of them.
When I learned, last summer, that there are things called Toe Blooms that can make little feet look like they have flowers on them, I cracked up. And I also learned that "barefoot sandals" are a real thing, like for adults too. But I like the baby ones best.
Cut to this summer…I'm happy to say that four lucky babies will get a free pair of Toe Blooms (most popular with the girls) or Toe Buds (aimed more at little boys). Winners can tell us which they'd rather, flowers or flair! Each set is worth $20-$24.
For a chance to win, leave a comment below, up to one a day, between now and the end of the day on Wednesday, May 29th. We'll randomly choose four winners. If you comment, you should check back at 10 a.m. on Thursday, May 30, to see if you're one of our winners. You'll then have 5 days to send a direct message to American Baby magazine's Facebook page to accept the prize. (We'll also send Facebook messages to the winners, but note, our messages fall into your "other" message folder on Facebook, which can be a bit hard to find!)
You can read the official rules here. Enjoy the Memorial Day weekend. And goody luck!

Take Control of Asthma
Watching your child struggle to breathe is one of the scariest things that a parent can endure. And for parents of asthma sufferers, this can be a constant looming threat.
Winter or spring, indoors or out, active or still, asthma triggers are everywhere. The list of culprits includes pollen, cold air, secondhand smoke, mold, dust mites, pet dander, and many more. And an average of one out of every 10 school-aged children has asthma, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. So how can you keep your kids safe?
In honor of Asthma Awareness Month this May, the EPA is offering free literature for parents and children to learn more about asthma and ways to control it. I especially love the adorable picture book, Why is Coco Orange, in which Coco the chameleon and his friends learn about air quality, and how to stay healthy when the air quality is bad. Coco's friends also learn to get help when they see Coco struggling to breathe, and Coco learns to sit down and use his inhaler when his asthma is triggered.
Along with these publications, the EPA also offers an Asthma Action Plan that breaks asthma symptoms into green, yellow, and red zones, and provides a list of ways to control things that make asthma symptoms worse.
Dr. Claire McCarthy provides some great tips in her article How to Manage Your Child's Asthma. As an asthma sufferer myself, I thought that I knew all there was to know about the disease, but I was surprised to learn that minimizing the use of antibacterial products and antibiotics can help reduce the risk of developing asthma.
Although there is no way to prevent the development of asthma, a solid plan of action can be a breath of fresh air for you and your child.

Summer Reading Lists-Activity Guides, from Lego Duplo and the ALSC
Lego Duplo's "Read! Build! Play!" initiative strives to develop early literacy and strengthen learning through their Read and Build series of simple story books paired with easy construction activities.
Last year, Lego Duplo and the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) partnered to create resources that combined reading and play. "Through play, young children learn about their world. With this knowledge, they can understand books and stories once they begin to read," says Starr Latronica, Vice President/President-Elect of the Association for Library Service to Children.
This summer, Lego and ALSC have created the first Summer Reading Lists/Activity Guides for toddlers and preschoolers. Two free guides (one for Ages 1-3, one for Ages 3-5) pairs 10 already-published books with Lego projects designed specifically for each one. The books, easily available at local libraries, were chosen by ALSC's Early Childhood Programs and Services committee. A Parent Activity Guide is also available for free, to explain the importance of play and to offer advice on how to interact with kids.
Parents can preview a list of the chosen books below and click on the jump to see a photo of the suggested activity for Meeow and the Pots and Pans by Sebastian Braun. Visit ReadBuildPlay.com to download the entire activity guides (which includes the full lists of Lego projects with instructions, plus coloring pages).

Would You Tell Your Kid to Quit School if He Hated It?
This morning I opened my New York Times to a front-page story about the dotcom billionaire of the moment: David Karp, the twentysomething founder of Tumblr, which he's selling to Yahoo this week for a fat chunk of change.
I expected to read a now-familiar story: socially awkward, hoodie-wearing kid holes up in his room with computer and a great idea, changes the face of the Internet landscape, goes on to collect his billions. I was expecting to read that Karp had dropped out of college, too, a la Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg.
Karp didn't go to college. He didn't even finish high school. But here's the real kicker: His mother told him to drop out.
According to the Times, Karp's mom, seeing that her son was bored with his studies at prestigious Bronx High School of Science, suggested he leave high school and be home-schooled instead. He was 14.
"I saw him at school all day and absorbed all night into his computer," Karp's mom, Barbara Ackerman, told the Times. "It became very clear that David needed the space to live his passion. Which was computers. All things computers." After Karp dropped out of Bronx Science, he spent a lot of time working at MTV, building a website that went on to be acquired by Google for $50 million.
Speaking for myself, my family and I have pretty much built our lives around our kids' education. My husband and I commute far to work, we pay too many taxes, and live in a small house, all to send our kids to good schools. These were choices we were all too happy to make, because we value our three children's education. Even though things obviously worked out quite nicely for Ackerman's son, I wonder if I was faced with the challenge of raising a child who was being underserved by the traditional education model, if I'd have the courage to tell my kid to give it up, and follow his true passion.
My three children still have a way to go before the high school years and making their billions of dollars (har). But this story got me thinking, and I'm sure it's got you thinking, too: If your kid was clearly understimulated at school, would you make a move as bold as Karp's mother did, and suggest he simply…leave?

Clear Your Schedule For This
Last week was National Women's Health Week, and I fully intended on writing a great blog post telling everyone that they should take a moment out of their busy schedules and focus on their health. The only problem was that my busy schedule got in the way.
Last Wednesday, my daughter needed to make it to her ENT, so I pushed my eye appointment off. I really didn't want to miss two days of work in a week. But on Friday morning, I got a call that my godmother had a heart attack (she's fine now, she just needs to remember to make time for her health), so I missed the entire day of work anyway. Now imagine if I'd actually made it to that eye appointment, I would have missed three days of work and I wouldn't be squinting at my computer so early in the week spreading the urgent message that you should not let your schedule get in the way of your health.
But in all seriousness, when I watched my god sister sobbing after being asked if she was her mother's proxy last Friday, it really did hit me. Neglecting our health to take care of everyone else actually hurts them in the end.
Even if you have lots of time, but no health insurance, thanks to the Affordable Care Act, many of the screenings women need are free. For example, the health care law requires coverage of well-woman visits, cervical cancer screenings, depression screenings, and more.
Visit WomensHealth.gov to learn more about living a healthier life.
I've rescheduled my eye appointment and I won't cancel it this time. Take a moment out of your busy schedule this week, and take care of your health. Your kids are counting on you.

Personally I'm excited with the concept - a decent P&S compact that you can immediately edit and share images with. No need for a tablet or a laptop, a huge choice of apps and a web browser. Could end up being the perfect day-to-day camera.

John Paul Jarboe counted Herman Alvey Sr. among his friends.
Alvey's influence led the 65-year-old Philpot man to switch to the fiddle about 10 years ago, when arthritis began making playing the guitar more and more difficult.
"In his later years, he was one of the best friends I had," Jarboe said of the man he'd known for about 50 years.
And that made winning the "Herman Alvey Award" for taking first place in the senior division of Saturday's Twin Lakes National Fiddler Championship a little more special.
The award, for the top fiddler age 65 and older, was named for the longtime Grayson County resident and nationally known musician and fiddle maker.
Before Saturday's competition, Jarboe's best finish had been a third-place win in Indiana a couple of years ago.
He had a little help from his old friend in taking home this trophey — he was playing on a fiddle Herman Alvey made.
"I bought it off him," Jarboe said. "It cost me $2,000."
The "Herman Alvey Award" was one of several recognitions given Saturday, July 21, during the inaugural Twin Lakes National Fiddler Championship.
Dan Kelly of Greenbrier, Tenn., received the "Bud Meredith Showmanship Award," named in honor of Grayson County native Bud Meredith, who played with artists ranging from Pee Wee King to Faron Young, had a 15-year stint at Renfro Valley, and won the Burl Ives National Fiddling Contest in 1963.
Twin Lakes Regional Medical Center CEO Stephen Meredith received the "Leo Mudd Citizenship Award," named for the retired Kentucky State Police trooper, motivational and anti-drug speaker, and community volunteer.
The winner of the championship fiddle-off, Maddie Denton of Murfreesboro, Tenn., received the "Jodie Hall Award," named for the founder of the Official Kentucky State Championship Old-Time Fiddlers Contest, respected authority on old-time string music, and competition judge.
The winning bluegrass band, Mr. French's Bluegrass Band of White House, Tenn., received the "Lonnie Peerce Award," named for the Grayson County native and founder of the Blue Grass Alliance.
Early estimates are that several thousand people attended the day-long festival, held around the courthouse square in downtown Leitchfield.
Steven Elder, one of the event's organizers, said the turnout was great and to expect a return championship next year.
"Given that we had 10 weeks to pull it together, it was a phenomenal success," Elder said.
They were also happy with the number of vendors, and noted the festival gave community groups the opportunity to raise several thousand dollars in one day.
Elder said organizers are considering some changes in next year's lineup, including possibly offering categories or performance times for other instruments, and more entertainment such as dancing.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, contact email@example.com for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

School leaders in the crossfireBy Cristina Kumka
STAFF WRITER | July 15,2012CRISTINA KUMKA/STAFF PHOTO
Debra Taylor, superintendent of the Rutland Central Supervisory Union, and David ORourke, chairman of the West Rutland School Board, get ready for a recent controversial meeting. Theyre flanked by student-made signs in support of Principal Juanita Burch-Clay, who was subsequently fired.It was Ken Pages first day as principal at Calais Elementary School when he walked into the schools gym and saw the broken wooden ladder leading up to the attic.
He immediately asked the School Board if he could replace it. It would cost $80.
Not a problem, he thought.
The board agreed to let him do it after five hours of discussion.
Page, now head of the Vermont Principals Association, said he fondly remembered the largely thankless job of a public principal.
But he also knew from his experience that much could be done if school leaders were allowed to do their jobs and if they were allowed to stay in place to do them.
High turnover
Times have changed and, with them, the pressures of the job have increased.
Theres more going on in the principals office than a student getting scolded.
Theres balancing the needs of unionized teachers, demanding parents and political school boards.
Theres standardized test scores that, if not good enough, could result in that principal losing their job.
Theres poverty among many students, and busy families, making schools safe havens more than ever before.
Page is concerned that some or all of those factors are becoming a dark cloud over educators.
A lack of job security is evident, threatening what Page says is one of the most important elements in education school leadership.
In the last three years, Vermont has come close to the national 30 percent average turnover rate among principals.
In that time, Page said, 90 out of about 400 Vermont principals have left their jobs.
He said the reasons included micro-management by school boards, or principals bringing too much change too fast and sometimes for reasons not explained.
Most recent is the case of West Rutland Principal Juanita Burch-Clay.
The School Board decided to fire the principal this year, teachers were pitted against each other and parents have sued the board, claiming they were intentionally excluded from a meeting where Burch-Clays fate was decided.
In the next school year alone, Vermont will see at least 38 new principals. That was the figure as of July 3, and Page said he expects more before years end.
Sometimes you dont want a principal to mentor. Sometimes, you want change and other times, you get a leader whose pace of change is faster than people might want, said Page, who has been an educator for more than 30 years.
The issue really is change. If you ask if the job has changed, absolutely, he said.
Im worried about the number of repeats, Page said. You cant sustain growth. What will happen when all those (veteran) principals get old and die? Years back, many 20-year principal pins were given out (by the VPA). Almost nobody gets one now, or when they do, the pressure gets too much and they go.
A harder sacrifice
Another principal recently called Page and said she was done being abused.
One principal said Thats the last time I am going to be yelled at by the board chair and have the superintendent sit back and let it happen. I have to go, Page recalled. She broke the last year of the contract. I think shes right. If they screamed at a teacher, there would be a grievance by the union filed right away.
Could it have been an isolated incident? Page thinks yes that not all school board members berate school leaders.
But its a sign of something even more concerning, he said, that public officials are not willing to give fresh principals a shot.
They must not understand what goes into the job and how much is sacrificed, Page said.
Most principals give all of themselves to the school, even sacrificing time with their own families to build one inside the walls of a school, Page said.
But with reduced job security, the sacrifice is becoming harder to make.
Most principals in Vermont have independent contracts, and are not protected by a powerful union. They are the easy target when the blame game gets started, Page said.
Changing role
The perception of what principals do has changed they are no longer just the head disciplinarians.
They are responsible for their students meeting test-score expectations, and a schools adequate yearly progress (AYP) determination is based on it.
AYP results have been most recently tied to overall school performance. That performance is tied to federal grants. Those grants, called School Improvement Grants, come with strings attached one of which may be firing the principal.
But the number one reason principals across the nation fail, surprisingly, isnt AYP.
Its how they maintain school climate, according to national research Page provided from 1997 and 2000. According to the National School Climate Center, this is broader than any one persons experience in the school it is how a school succeeds in safety, relationships, teaching and learning.
School climate is tied to students and teachers feeling safe and both groups achieving more academically. It also reflects goals, values, interpersonal relationships, organization and best teaching practices.
The number one reason principals succeed? Integrity.
They (parents) want someone they can trust, Page said.
All about the money
There might not be a better example of the trust issue that than Joyce Irvine, a principal who was fired, reassigned to an administrator job in the same district, then rehired by another school.
Trust and integrity werent the issues for her, according to Irvine and the man who hired her as principal again.
Her problem was that she couldnt compete with the $1.5 million carrot waived in front of the face of the district that removed her Burlington.
Under Irvines leadership, the Integrated Arts Academy at the H.O. Wheeler Elementary School in the citys Old North End became one of the states two magnet, or specialized, schools in 2010.
That allowed more affluent students from middle-class backgrounds to mix with the remaining 40 percent of the schools population students who have English as a Second Language (ESL). These are mainly poor refugees from 20 different countries.
Fifty of those ESL students had been in the country less than two years and didnt yet speak or read English. Because the tests were English-only, the schools overall test score was substandard.
In 2010, the federal government forced Vermont to label its schools in need of improvement, following a $787 billion stimulus package that gave Vermont $8.5 million to give to its most under-performing schools. $1.5 million of that money was available for Irvines school.
But along with a label came change all the schools tagged as under-performing using the latest two years of standardized test scores had to choose between firing the principal, replacing the principal and half the teachers, closing the school or reopening the school as a charter.
A charter school is an independent public school that is allowed to use innovation to improve student achievement and have more parent involvement, according to the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools.
Burlington chose to fire the principal and it got the money.
Holes in the system
Irvine said she was assured in 2001, when No Child Left Behind was passed by the federal government, that there would be a growth model that took into account the progress of each student even if they didnt speak English.
Turns out, there wasnt, and she lost her job.
She was reassigned to the position of school improvement coordinator, a central office position, in the Burlington district and stayed for a year before deciding she wanted to be around kids again.
Irvine now heads Highgate Elementary School, after getting offers from five different schools.
The best part of her job, Irvine said, is the kids.
She remembers a girl at Wheeler who kept coming to school dirty.
Irvine later found out she was jumping porches, or sleeping on a different porch in the city each night, because both of her parents were jailed at the same time.
Irvine got temporary housing for the girl until her parents, or at least one, was released.You think you know what goes on every night when the kids go home, but you dont, she said.
The best part of being a principal, Irvine said, is sitting in her office and eating lunch with a student, or walking into a classroom of kindergartners during an otherwise stressful day and letting it all go.
Since Irvines departure, there have been three new principals at H.O. Wheeler in two years.
The reason was she was forced out of her job in Burlington was of no fault of her own, she really did do some fantastic work there, said Irvines new boss, Superintendent Jack McCarthy of the Franklin Northwest Supervisory Union.
If you are a Spanish- or French- or Swahili-speaking student and if you have an English test put in front of you, you could be a genius and not do well on it, McCarthy said. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time doing the right thing.
Its not for everyone
Rich Jacobs was the principal of the 100-student Orange Center School in East Barre for eight years before he left the profession for the private sector, becoming a financial analyst.
What I ended up finding out was they were looking for a new kind of principal that could handle new expectations, he said. With No Child Left Behind, they had stronger expectations for a principal. They were looking for someone not afraid of making lots of change in a school if necessary.
Jacobs started his 30-year career in education as a guidance counselor in New Hampshire. He was used to building relationships and working through problems.
After awhile at Orange, he said, that didnt work for him any more. Jacobs now works in Morrisville, providing education in finance to adults.
The bottom line was that Jacobs just needed to get away from the stress level attached to being a school principal today.
He said he laughed when his new employer asked him if he could handle the stress of being a financial advisor.
Ongoing concern
Page isnt the only one concerned about the high turnover.
Stephen Dale, head of the Vermont School Boards Association, said that while some turnover is healthy for change, 30 or more principals a year feels high to him.
It should be an ongoing concern, Dale said. Whether it is a crisis or not requires some sort of statewide analysis.
To determine if the turnover is systemic or not, he said, boards, superintendents and principals need to work together.
We have to continue to look at how we create the kind of environments that make it highly likely that good people will be attracted to, and remain in, good leadership positions, Dale said. High turnover is not healthy for any system.
Whos the boss?
Current Vermont education law allows school boards to take over the superintendents authority to fire or hire a principal. Some boards have taken it upon themselves to do just that. In the case of West Rutland this year, this meant multiple closed-door meetings and an uproar of public controversy.
All the other principals in the same union, the Rutland Central Supervisory Union, also resigned this year for undisclosed reasons.
The newly-adopted school consolidation law, Act 153, gives the superintendent the sole responsibility of negotiating a principals contract.
Without referring to any one principal case in particular, Page of the VPA said school boards in Vermont could be better educated as to their roles. Superintendents, not boards, are in charge of principals, he said.
VSBA head Dale agreed.
The system says the superintendent is the CFO (chief financial officer) of the district or supervisory union and that superintendent is the direct supervisor of the principal, Dale said.
But Dale acknowledged that different school districts handle responsibility for the principal in different ways. There isnt one steadfast rule on who the school leader answers to, he said.
According to Page, more clarity is needed about the roles of boards versus superintendents when hiring school leaders.
There is a question about who they (principals) answer to, he said. Theres a real contradiction.

Sail-World.com : Boat parade time across America
Boat parade time across America
'Boat parade Lake Havasu' .
It's Boat Parade time across America. From Arizona to Florida, from Newport Beach to Chattanooga, the lighted boat parade is a big part of Christmas.
Prizes are given, excitement runs high and those without boats line the shores to celebrate and discuss the boats - from awe-inspiring to sweet, from ridiculous to hilarious. It's all part of the fun.
Boat parade in Sausalito - .. .
However, in Los Angeles,
Marina del Rey's
boat parade will this year be special, as it is their 50th. Most people are warmly attired as they sail their glowing, highly decorated vessels for applause and kudos. Everything from runabouts to tall ships, yachts and powerboats forget their differences and join in the celebrations. Marina del Rey's is happening tonight, on the 8th December.
Boat parade Marina del Rey - .. .
It doesn't have to involve a port or the ocean. Also tonight not far away, the artificially created
Lake Perris
is holding its 14th Lights on the Lake Holiday Boat Parade. They're raising money for the local children's hospital.
Many have already been held. Some are not raising money, but showing off their electrical skills. In
last night, decorated boats paraded on the Tennessee River and here it was a show put on by the 'International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers'
Boat parade in Annapolis - .. .
in Florida they are boat-parade-crazy
. There are nearly as many boat parades as waterways - Apollo Beach, Astor, Boca Raton, Bonita Springs, Cape Canaveral, Carrabelle, Cape Coral, Cedar Key, Cocoa Beach, Daytona Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers Beach, Jacksonville, Key Largo, Key West, Florida Keys, Miami, Orlando, Palm Beach, Sarasota, St Petersburg, Tampa - and that's not an exhaustive list.
Boat parade in Florida - .. .
But there is something different about
Newport Christmas Boat Parade
this year. There is a movement to boycott it, by members of 'Stop the Dock Tax' movement.
The event, put on by the Newport Chamber of Commerce and hosted by their Commodores Club, has found itself in the middle of a nasty battle between residential dock owners and the city.
Folks around the water are threatening to turn off their lights, and pull their boats from the parade, in protest over increased dock fees proposed by the city of Newport.
It seems you can't keep politics even out of Christmas...

The areas to be burned are located 5 miles north of Duck Creek Village (Henrie Knolls), greater Duck Creek, Strawberry, and Swains Creek areas (Duck Creek Hazardous Fuels Reduction), and 9 miles northeast of Paragonah (Edwards Spring).
Managed ignitions for these prescribed fires will continue as weather, fuel conditions, and air quality permit from October thru April 2013. Care and forethought is taken to reduce the amount of exposure to smoke from prescribed fire projects. Strict guidelines regarding smoke, set forth by the Division of Air Quality, must be met and followed before any ignition can begin.
These projects are designed to improve wildlife habitat, regenerate aspen, and reduce unnatural and heavy dead/downed woody debris, while improving ecosystem health. Healthier forests with less dead woody debris in the understory are far less susceptible to unwanted destructive wildfires.
For more information about this prescribed fire, contact Peter Goetzinger or Eric Eastep at the Cedar City Ranger District, (435) 865-3200.

1564 cons days on GB fantastic dedication .. ...Be my Mississippi gas buddy
I am glad to slide back a slot on the consecutive days list. Sounds like technology punished you like it did me last summer, and I am happy your streak has been revived.
Sorry to see your consecutive day string come to an end. If it was due to something outside your control, an appeal to the administration may be able to reinstate it. Best wishes, and keep on posting!
Hi, BIG congratulations on having the dedication to post for 1,500 consecutive days. WOW!! Keep up the great work and Good Luck in the future! Your buddy, Warren :-)
A very Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!!
Thanks Buddy!!!!
I just noticed that you passed the 1.5m milestone. Congratulations and keep up the good work.
Good work, a351c! Congratulations on the 1.5 million points and the new ride.
Congrats on 1.5 million points. That's a nice new truck. Now everyone moving will want to be your friend ;-).
Just as you notice on the coast, I've noted the same in Hattiesburg - people will make up prices. For example, the local Sam's doesn't sell mid-level gas. Many times there is a price posted for mid-level gas. They just make it up for points. I was a little surprised that prices increased during the state emergency. However, it was explained to me that wholesale prices increased. Keep up the consecutive days. I'm back to 70 consecutive myself.

Dear Editor:
As a byproduct of the NCTC Board of Directors election process, critics of NCTC, its board of Directors and management have chosen to disperse information which is at best misleading and in other instances just not accurate. We have a great local telephone coop of which I am very proud and I believe its honor needs defending.
Managers Pay Increase
Many are talking about the general manager's pay raise. In order to determine appropriate pay increases the board of directors did a survey of other similar size and type companies for the region and the current manager's salary is not above the average for the southeast region, and is much lower than the total US. In addition, our cooperative, through the efforts of our current manager, receives reimbursement funds that provide for every dollar that the manager is paid, 65 cents is recovered from the fund and not paid by the members of North Central Telephone Cooperative.
The facts are that the current manager was hired in at a salary much lower than the former manager. The current managers' total pay today is still less than the former manager's total package was five years ago.
In addition, the increase that the manager received was based on the cooperative's performance. Net income grew by 52% overall. In the past, the cooperative has not taken full advantage of programs that are available to pay back rural cooperatives for investing in the network that serves the members. NCTC started participating fully in these programs by bringing in consultants for short-term project to advise on how best to utilize these programs. This year NCTC's recovery is 5 times larger than the before the current manager arrived. There is no other cooperative around that has delivered these types of results in such a short time period and we are very proud of the performance.
It is noteworthy that our critics fail to distinguish between a performance pay measured in the thousands when the results of the efforts of the manager are measured in the millions— millions that have been brought in for the cooperative and the people of this area.
Local Hiring
The cooperative is a federal contractor; therefore, we must adhere to our affirmative action policy to recruit qualified minorities, women, people with disabilities, and veterans regardless of where they live. Our critic has stated that we should only hire locally, which would be against the law. It has been a longstanding policy of NCTC to adhere to all laws and this will continue to be the cooperatives' policy.
$25Million Loan repayment
Our critics have also suggested that the company cannot pay the $25 million dollar loan that was part of our Broadband Stimulus Grant/Loan. Not only does NCTC have a financial plan to pay back all its loans over time, but it will in fact receive support from the government that will cover more than 90% of the total loan over the next 17 years, as this particular loan is being used only for building better connections to our customers.
Nancy White, President/CEO NCTC
