Village president on annexation

BLOOMFIELD — "I think everyone's just sitting back, taking in what happened."
Village President Ken Monroe said that on the phone Feb. 21, almost a month after a Walworth County judge dismissed the request to annex the town of Bloomfield.
It was a decision Judge James Carlson made at a Jan. 23 hearing, in favor of the city of Lake Geneva's motion to dismiss, that Monroe said, in his opinion, "didn't give the people true democracy."
The idea was simple. And complicated.

Several years ago, back when there was only a town of Bloomfield, a group of residents launched an effort to incorporate in an attempt to gain tighter zoning control and preserve Bloomfield's boundaries.
State law allows town property owners to request annexation by nearby cities and villages.
Officials from the state Department of Administration decided the town as a whole didn't meet incorporation requirements.
However, they believed a 12-square-mile region northeast of Highway H did.
After a successful referendum, the state certified the new village of Bloomfield in December 2011.
But remember that state law allowing cities and villages to annex town land?
Village and town of Bloomfield officials did, and it wasn't long after certification that the town asked the village to annex all of its territories.
Now, in the wake of Carlson's decision, it appears the Bloomfields won't appeal.
"We won't at this time," Monroe said. "The cost to the taxpayers is my biggest concern."
A story on the financial side of this issue will appear in a future Regional News.
On Feb. 21, Monroe said he wasn't surprised by Carlson's decision. He said it's "very seldom" that a judge would rule in favor of a community in the Bloomfields' position when intervenors have come forward.
So why go through it then?
"There's always a chance," Monroe said. "We were just trying to do what we started to do in the beginning."
The decision
He said the process they followed is a "backwards scenario." Nevertheless, it was required by statutes.
To complete the proposed mass annexation, county circuit court would have to determine, basically, whether the request made sense and was best for all involved.
Part of why Carlson granted Lake Geneva's motion was the fact there are "islands" of the town of Bloomfield surrounded by city property — or land Monroe said once was in the town, but had been annexed by Lake Geneva.
Because it was a mass annexation request, to grant it would mean, hypothetically, that these islands would belong to the village of Bloomfield.
These lands would not be contiguous with the rest of the village, or so was the stance of the opposition to the Bloomfields' request.
However, Monroe said past annexations by Lake Geneva and Genoa City of town land created the situation.
"So, really, they were holding us up for something they did," he said.
Had the judge ruled in favor of the Bloomfields, the final stage of the annexation process would have been another referendum in which town voters would decide if they would become a part of the village.
That's why Monroe said he felt the people didn't have the chance to make the decision.
"It could have gone to a referendum and the people could have voted it down, but at least they'd have a chance to vote," Monroe said. "This decision took that privilege away from the people."
But Monroe said village officials have spent a lot of energy on the annexation.
He said he hopes now, officials can focus on other matters.
"I don't really think this has impacted the village much at all," he said. "I think as long as we have a great relationship between the town and the village, things will go along pretty smoothly."
Future annexations
It seems, however, that this isn't the last you'll hear about annexations in Bloomfield.
Recently, town chairman Dan Schoonover expressed concern that a large number of property owners could ask the village to annex their lands, potentially reducing the amount of tax revenue and otherwise create an adverse financial impact on the budget.
Monroe said when an incorporated community annexes land, it has to pay five years' worth of the estimated tax revenue from that property to the town. It's possible, he said, that the remaining town of Bloomfield could request annexation, piece by piece, into the village. Which makes this the big-money question of the moment: Has anyone asked to be annexed yet? "People are asking about it, but there's been no papers filed," Monroe said.
Any large properties? He said there are rumors, but he wouldn't say which properties those rumors have centered on "because, again, it's really just rumors."
So how would village officials handle annexation requests?
"We will never turn anyone down who wants to be in the village," Monroe said.
He said that's his own take on the issue, but he would hope the other village of Bloomfield trustees would agree.
Monroe didn't see Carlson's decision as a crushing defeat.
Instead, he called it "disappointing."
"I won't say it's completely dead," Monroe said about a future village which includes the remaining town of Bloomfield. "There's always a glimmer of hope there."

• Line Size: 5
When I heard that the folks at Sage Fly Rods were replacing the most
popular and successful line of fly rods ever produced, the XP Series, I
was, well, sorta shocked! It's not often a company with an enviable
reputation such as Sage, arguably the world's premier fly fishing rod
manufacture, would abandon their proven top of the line product for an
unknown quantity in our current competitive market place. In fact, I had
just purchased a Sage XP 696 a year and a half ago as my primary
nymphing rod, and thought I had found perfection.
I've felt that we fly fishers have had access to some pretty good
graphite rods for the last 15 years or more. As the manufacturers have
learned from one another, claims of significant performance increases
most often have proven to be small steps forward, if at all. That being
said, I was more than a bit curious what I might find when I picked up
the new Sage Z-Axis model 590. (A rod nine feet in length, rated for a 5
weight fly line is considered to be the bread and butter standard by
most trout fishers).
The new Z-Axis 590-4 from Sage is a fast action nine foot,
five-weight fly rod that incorporates the latest Generation 5 graphite
technology. Coupled with a newly designed, computer enhanced taper, the
result is a lightweight rocket with power and smoothness that sets a new
standard. The rod casts comfortably and accurately at both short and
very long distances and its forgiving nature makes it desirable for
beginners and experts alike. The Z is outfitted with quality hardware;
English Hopkins and Holloway guides and tip top, and a Strubel nickel
silver reel seat with rosewood spacer. A cloth rod sock and protective
aluminum tube are included, as well as a limited lifetime warranty. The
Sage Z-Axis 590 is a beautifully finished piece of equipment that may
arguably be the best all around performing trout rod ever built.
My first impression was "wow", this rod feels very light. Noticeably light. Not only light in physical weight, but more
importantly, light in "swing weight". When a fly fishing rod is
accelerated, and then decelerated to transfer energy to the fly line and
form a casting loop, the greatest acceleration is progressively toward
the rod tip. As a flexible lever in your hand, a fly fishing rod with
proportionately less material toward the tip section feels lighter and
requires less effort to cast, hour after hour. That's assuming, of
course, that the lighter tip can provide the same relative stiffness and
power without sacrificing durability. And therein lies the dilemma of
all rod designers; overbuild a rod to withstand almost any abuse and
most would consider it heavy and clunky, underbuild a rod for
lightweight performance and one may end up replacing or repairing an
inordinate number of broken rods for unhappy customers.
All that technical jargon aside, it's the rod designer who is ultimately
responsible for creating the tapers of a superior casting tool. Sage is
fortunate to have a rod designer, Jerry Siem, who is a great caster as
well, and it is this ability, along with some new computer software,
that enables him to evaluate, refine, and tweak the individual rod
models to ensure consistency across a given rod series. Rod companies
with less talented engineers are relegated to designing by committee, a
tricky process, at best.
According to Sage specs, the Z-Axis 590 -4 piece weighs in at 3
3/8 ounces, compared to its 3 1/2 ounce predecessor, the 590 XP. With
identical hardware, the weight difference between these rods is a
seemingly mere 1/8 ounce.
But the significance is in the differing technologies used in building
the rod blanks themselves. Instead of a typical fiberglass "scrim" or
mesh that is rolled around the steel mandrel and binds the longitudinal
graphite fibers together, the Z-Axis utilizes what Sage calls their
Generation 5 technology. In this process, the scrim is replaced by a
lighter layer of graphite cloth that is rolled at a 90º angle (hence the
name "Z-Axis") to the separate layer of longitudinal graphite rolled
over it. The result is a rod with greater "hoop" strength with less
The sanded blank of the Z-Axis is an olive green with gold thread wraps over English Hopkins and Holloway snake guides and a single
stripping guide. No color preserver is used, so the wraps become
semi-translucent when the finish is applied, resulting in a rich,
uniform appearance. Ferrules and hook keeper are trimmed with a few
wraps each of gold, black and rust thread for a nice, subtle accent.
Handles are turned smoothly from the finest individual Portuguese cork
rings and complimented with a sealed rosewood spacer and Strubel nickel
silver uplocking reel seat. Due to several layers of inspection during
the manufacturing process, the fit and finish of the Z-Axis is nearly
flawless and what one should expect from a top of the line rod. The rod
comes in a cloth sock with fold over tie down and a substantial, olive
colored aluminum tube. Overall, a handsome rod, indeed.
• Sage G5 technology graphite construction
• Very light in hand
• Fast, yet smooth rod tapers for high line speed, accuracy, and comfortable casting, near or far
• English Hopkins and Holloway guides and tip top
• Nickel silver reel seat with rosewood spacer
• Cloth sack and aluminum rod case
• Limited lifetime warranty
When a fly fishing rod bends, its circular cross section becomes
an oval, with the greatest stress occurring in the compression element
at the inside of the bend. This phenomenon is typically what causes
graphite rods to shatter when they're overstressed (aside from car
doors, dog teeth, and nicks from weighted flies). In addition, when the
G5 layers are compressed with tape and baked in an oven, as all
synthetic rods are, the epoxy resin fuses the layers together more
effectively than it would with scrim, and uses less resin in the
process. G5 tech has already been proven within the existing Sage line
of Xi2 Salt Water rods and one might assume this durability will carry
over to the Z-Axis line as well.
Sage was founded in 1979 by Don Green, an experienced rod blank
builder and one of the architects of the modern fishing rod, as owner of
the Grizzly Fiberglass Company, which later partnered with Fenwick. It
was originally called Winslow Manufacturing (after the city of Winslow
on Bainbridge Island, Washington) but within a year had changed its name
to Sage. Emphasizing high quality fly rods sold only through specialty
stores, Sage rode the crest of the fly-fishing boom in the post "A River
Runs Through It" years. Today, although there is no industry repository
for exact numbers, Sage is probably the world's largest producer of
premium fly rods and employs over 100 workers in their manufacturing
So, has being the 800-pound gorilla affected the quality of their
product as it has with so many other companies in the outdoor industry?
Although challenged by industry wide flat sales, the growth of the
Internet, and increasingly higher quality Asian imports, my impression
is no, for several reasons. Sage has continued to retain talented people
and spend money on research and development. The proximity of
Bainbridge to the Boeing Aircraft manufacturing plants near Seattle and
Toray Composites in Tacoma provides access to a wealth of knowledge from
the aerospace industry, the primary end users of graphite fiber. More
importantly, aside from a few casting and spinning rod models over the
years, Sage has pretty much stuck to their original intention, building
very good fly rods.
The Z-Axis has a limited lifetime warranty for the original owner. If
you damage or break your rod, you are responsible for the shipping
charges and insurance to send ALL of the pieces to Sage, plus a $40
handling fee, to cover return shipping and insurance within the U. S.
International owners are charged the actual shipping and insurance fees.
Not a bad deal for an expensive, relatively fragile tool. The other
five or six top US makers offer similar rod warranties, but not all
provide the same level of service. I've seen some customers wait 3 or 4
months, or longer, to get their rods back. Sort of puts the damper on
the fishing season. Sage's lead time for repairs is currently about 2 to
2 ½ weeks during their busy summer, and shortens to about 1 ½ weeks in
the winter.
The true revelation occurs in casting the Z-Axis rod. It's
powerful. Yet powerful in a way I hadn't really experienced before. Most
powerhouse rods in the past, that were able to generate the highest
line speeds for casting in wind or for distance, have usually had a
broomstick feel to them, requiring a short, compact technical stroke.
They've been limited in their ability to cast comfortably at short to
medium distances and not as effective at roll casting. Not great rods
for beginner or even intermediate casters and, in general, not great all
around fishing tools.
Not so with the Z-Axis. With a short amount of line out, about 25 feet,
the rod cast comfortably and crisply. As I extended my casts to 60 feet,
and then, beyond 80 feet, I was struck not only with the rod's reserve
power, but how smoothly that power transferred to the tip of the rod,
with seemingly little effort. The transition zone seemed wide and
forgiving. The light tip tracked very accurately.
In a nutshell, the Z-Axis is a fast action rod that is capable of
developing tremendous line speed, yet it doesn't feel that fast when you
cast it. This is a high performance rod that even a beginner would find
easy to cast.
The Sage Z-Axis 590, and the entire Z-Axis series, in my opinion,
represent a noticeable improvement in all around fly fishing rod
performance and are the first rods in a while that would influence me to
replace the majority of my favorites that I currently use. Based on
this technology, I'll probably start recommending 9 ½ footers as the
PROS - What's not to like? A surprising blend of lightness,
power, accuracy, smoothness, and, hopefully, durability. Suitable for
beginners and experts alike. Limited lifetime warranty.
CONS - At $695, there are some decent rods out there at half the
price, yet most top-of-the line manufacturers have models in a similar
price range. Nickel silver reel seats are pretty, but require more care
than aluminum.
BOTTOM LINE – Perhaps the best all around fly fishing rod series produced to date, at any price.
Having been in the fly fishing industry for over 25 years as a
guide, fly fishing school director, writer, and manufacturers sales
representative, I've been fortunate to cast and fish with a wide array
of fly rods from almost all of the top makers.

The Z-AXIS Fly Rod! Mr. Wizard is back and talk about
pressure! You know the design team at Sage was sweating some serious
bullets when they looked to replace the XP. For more
than six years the XP Fly Rod Series was the industry standard by which
fast action fly rods were measured, and now, it's been replaced. Enter
the Z-Axis. We know you're going to be completely awed by this Sage Fly
Rod Series! These rods are lighter, and although they generate the
fastest line speed of just about any rod, they're easier to cast (if
that's possible) than the XP models. The added advantage of the extreme
line speed is accuracy and control of your fly. And if you want to talk
Here's what one of our customers had to say recently about his new Sage Z-Axis rod;
"I live in South Africa and have just read your opinion on the Sage Z-Axis. In
my mind you hit the nail 100% correct. I purchased the rod not knowing
what to expect seeing that every fly rod company proclaim their rods to
be the "best"? I took it out for a cast and was silenced… Then I took
it to the pond and was blown away with the forgiving nature of the rod
when a sudden breeze came up, I thought it was awesome and didn't even
think of the fish I was actually targeting, until one took the fly and I
was still on "hey this is an awesome rod.." when I suddenly had to
think "OK, now you have to perform on landing this fish with this pricy
rod?" We'll it handled a 23 inch rainbow with an attitude of dominance. I
am currently looking at investing in a 7 weight outfit, seems I'll look
no further than Sage and its good friend Abel." -- Marius Calitz
Even though we now expect lightness from
today's fly rods, we never thought the Z-Axis' seemingly
near-weightlessness could be achieved without giving up strength. Oh,
how we were wrong! To bore you with a little technical talk, by
replacing the glass hoop fibers (the fiberglass scrim cloth) with
lighter, stronger graphite fibers, Sage found that during the
curing process, the graphite fiber fabrics bind together more
effectively. These now welded fibers give rise to a stronger fly rod
blank and the lighter graphite fibers up the performance! Sure, we're
simplifying the whole process, but we know when you first pick up one of
these rods you will have the same reaction; WOW! You're going hear more
clichés than you can shake a stick at (we couldn't resist just one)
about this rod series but just remember; if you want the lightest, most
accurate fly rod on market, then reach for the Z-Axis. As Sage says it
in one word "Magic"… and we couldn't agree more.

Gemma McCluskie trial: Court hears how actress's body was cut into six pieces
14:31 17 January 2013
Gemma McCluskie's dad walked out of court today as details were given about how her brother hacked her body into six pieces.
Tony McCluskie senior had sat through most of the evidence but decided to leave as further details were given about how she was cut up.
Son Tony McCluskie, 35, admits killing the 29-year-old former EastEnders actress in March last year but claims he has no memory of it.
Gemma's torso was found in a suitcase in the Regent's Canal in east London, followed by her limbs in plastic bags.
Her head turned up six months later and she was officially identified by dental records.
The prosecution said pot-smoking McCluskie bludgeoned his sister to death in the flat they shared after a row about an overflowing sink.
Professor Sue Black, an expert on dismemberment from the University of Dundee, said her bones had 95 marks where they had been cut or hacked.
She said the killer had used a knife but switched to a meat cleaver when he was not successful, and also told the court that it would have taken an experienced person an hour but anyone else could have taken up to three hours or more.
Pathologist Dr Simon Poole told the court Gemma died from being hit over the head with an object such as a bat.
She also had a number of bruises on her body from before she died.
Some looked like finger marks from someone grabbing her.
McCluskie, of Pelter Street, Shoreditch, east London, denies murder at the Old Bailey.
Gemma played Kerry Skinner, the niece of Ethel Skinner, in the BBC soap in 2001.
The trial was adjourned to tomorrow.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A political maverick nicknamed "Dr. No" for his favorite vote, U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn was more than a bomb-thrower during his decade in the U.S. Senate.
The obstetrician from Muskogee also has earned a reputation as a statesman willing to reach across the aisle to come up with solutions to the nation's budget woes.
The 65-year-old's announcement late Thursday that he is stepping down from his seat at the end of the year amid another battle with cancer signals the departure of a major political player in Washington.
Coburn wanted to be known as a true citizen-legislator, and he frequently clashed with colleagues on both sides of the aisle. But he also managed to elevate the dialogue on issues such as pork-barrel spending and government waste.

Brad Bird's 1952 Changes Its Name To Tomorrowland
By Sean O'Connell 2013-01-28 14:13:25 comments
The theme parks under Walt Disneys corporate umbrella have been getting a ton of attention lately, from a Sundance film called Escape From Tomorrow that shot behind the scenes in the Disney parks to a Jon Favreau-directed adventure that reportedly will take place in one of the Disneyland park areas in Anaheim, CA. Now we hear that another major feature is adopting the name of a classic Disney theme park and it shifts focus away from what the movie might actually be about.
Brad Birds next live-action movie, a sci-fi drama once known as 1952, has officially changed its title to Tomorrowland. Thats a major part of Disneys Magic Kingdom park in Orlando, the home of Space Mountain and a fantastic Buzz Lightyear ride/shooting-game combination. This also leans us back to a theory floating around the Internet that this movie somehow might be tied to Walt Disneys origins and maybe the insight he had into the construction of the Disney parks? But thats a spitball being lobbed into a thuderstorm.
Heres what we do know for sure: Bird is directing the movie from a screenplay by Damon Lindelof (from a concept cooked up by Lindelof and Jeff Jensen), and the tone of the project has been compared to Steven Spielbergs Close Encounters of the Third Kind. That photo above is a pic shared by the creators of a box filled with inspiration they had for the film. George Clooney has confirmed his participation in the film, though beyond that, its anyones guess. Disney has circled Dec. 19, 2014 as a release date for the mysterious project, so now we just have to sit back and wait for the rest of the crucial puzzle pieces to hit the table before we can move them around into a shape that we can figure out.

I know that some of you have expressed interest in MapTool, but haven't made the jump over to the forums to sign up so I figured you might be interested in at least seeing how it works and how to get started with it. My current GM, Brad, has created this series to do just that. The nice thing is it will allow you to get an idea of what a VTT can do and what all the buzz is about if you have been considering making maps or adventures for them. Note that this is just one available tool out there, but most of the best ones have very similar features. To get the specifics you should visit the individual apps' websites/forums.
Hope this proves useful to some of you: http://www.rptoolstutorials.net/

Substitute ground cinnamon and an apple for the ground cloves and pear.
Cloves can be purchased ground or whole. Use an electric grinder or small food processor to grind whole cloves, since their hard texture make them difficult to grind. Store in an airtight container out of direct light. Do not use whole cloves in this recipe.

Okay, I've found a new Fall Favorite! One bit of this and you'll be transported to Thanksgiving! I made a few adjustments (pantry shortage) : I had only 1 cup all-purp flour, so I used 1/2 cup wheat flour. Also, I used 2 pears and one apple (I love the combination). I think that less than that (or 3 of just one) wouldn't have been enough fruit. I made this with my daughter and got so wrapped up in cooking with her that I forgot to add the spices! I did, however, mix just a touch of brown sugar, ground cloves, and cinnamon into the cool whip and topped each slice with that. It was great! I will make this for all the winter holidays! It's very dense, almost like a pound cake, so I think it would be nice for breakfast also. :)

Weighing in at just 3 ounces — but touted to be able to carry more than 30 pounds — the just-announced PackBack from Trek Light Gear is a featherweight of a day pack with hidden strength.
Like the company's hammocks and other bag products, the PackBack is made of a parachute nylon that's strong and resistant to mildew and rot. It stuffs into a pouch about the size of a wallet and easily slips into the pocket of your blue jeans.
When unpacked, the stuff sack hangs inside the pack and doubles as a container for valuables such as a cell phone or keys.
Make no mistake, this is a no-frills backpack. It is broken into a main interior compartment and a second smaller compartment that is accessible from outside just behind the wearer's back.
Like similar models we've reviewed over the years (see "Micro Waterproof Pack"), the PackBack is noteworthy mainly for its packability. This is a nice product to have "just in case" during travel or a bike trip, as examples, if you suddenly need capacity to carry a few items on your back.
There is no panel or "support" in the pack, making it uncomfortable if loaded wrong. The shoulder straps are a thin material but just wide enough to spread out the load up to the aforementioned 30 pounds, though that's a lug.
Unveiled at the Teva Mountain Games earlier this month, the pack created a buzz and promptly sold out at Treklightgear.com. It got my attention on the streets at the Games in Vail Village because of its minimalist design and simple functionality.
For now, the PackBack, which retails at $26.95, is not available. Check back later this summer, if you're looking for a tiny backpack that stores away literally in a pocket when not in use.

We have gained a reputation as the regions foremost provider of comprehensive orthopedic care.
With the affiliation of Dakota Plains Surgical Center and Aberdeen Physical Therapy, we coordinated comprehensive outpatient/inpatient musculoskeletal care under one roof.
Specialized health care has long been recongnized as the best solution for thorough treatment at an affordable price. Our physicians are truly dedicated to facilitating your return to normal functional health.
A great candidate will be a member of the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery, which insures that its members possess a high level of education and experience and pass comprehensive examinations. The American Society for Surgery of the Hand is another specialty board.
Our surgeons perform a variety of surgeries, including those on the spine, hands, legs and shoulders. They are in the top percentile of orthopedic surgeons in the country.
Our skilled physicians offer a complete range of service with specialties in:
Orthopedic spine surgery is surely one of the most complicated procedures performed today. This is due to the intricacies of the spine and the many functions that it provides for the human body. These include walking, the movement of the arm and hands, and even the process of breathing.
There are many reasons for spinal irregularities, including birth deformities like scoliosis, progressive and degenerative conditions like sciatica or slipped discs, and spinal fractures that result from various types of catastrophic accidents. Unfortunately, these conditions are not limited to adults, as most of these disorders can also be seen in pediatric patients.
Feet can often alert to the first warning signs of health problems. Healthy feet usually mean a healthy body. Our podiatrists work with you to provide treatment for any foot or ankle problems you may have.
The human foot is a biological masterpiece. It is complex, containing within its relatively small size 26 bones (the two feet contain a quarter of all the bones in the body), 33 joints and a network of more than 100 tendons, muscles and ligaments.
We are one of the top foot and ankle surgery providers in the nation serving communities in North and South Dakota.
Hand surgery is sometimes needed when the joints, nerves, tendons, ligaments and muscles of the hand are not functioning as they should. Due to the many purposes for which the hand is used on a daily basis, it is subjected to various stresses that make it susceptible to injury. Injuries such as those that come from typing, factory work, and other repetitive activities often result in conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome.
Although these types of injuries are usually treated with various treatments, such as rest, physical therapy and medications, surgery may be the last recourse for those who have not found relief.
With more people deciding to become active, many are participating in sports that can often wreak havoc on the body. Our sports medicine specialists can design programs that cover the range of orthopedic needs from basic examinations and treatment options to surgery and physical therapy.
Finding the right sports medicine center should not differ much from locating a regular family practitioner. Thorough research should be done to determine whether the doctor is fellowship trained, a certified specialist and a member of the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery.
Joint replacement, or arthroplasty, is a common surgical technique used to replace or realign the bone and cartilage in arthritic, worn-out or cancerous joints. Patients may undergo total or partial replacement and remodeling. While they do not always recover 100 percent of their flexibility, patients generally have high success rates for pain relief and increased mobility.
Types of arthroplasty include knee, hip, shoulder, foot and ankle. Patients should remember that the life of their new or refurbished joint depends upon their physical condition and fitness level prior to surgery, along with their weight and the success of the healing process.
Knee Joint Replacement Surgery is sometimes needed when the knee joint develops severe pain or loses function which impedes general mobility. The existing joint is replaced with an artificial joint. Knee replacement can have impressive results for the patient which can generally last for 10 to 15 years. With proper recovery, knee joint pain can relieve pain patients have suffered, often for a lengthy period of time.
Some patients must also stop or change prescribed medications that could interfere with surgical recovery. For additional information, view our Frequently Asked Questions.
Our physical therapists are trained to evaluate and treat a wide variety of orthopedic problems. Each therapist is a member of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and its South Dakota Chapter.
Aberdeen Physical Therapy is focused on your recovery. Your treatment program is designed to speed recovery and your return to work, sports and everyday activities.
Exercise programs developed by Aberdeen Physcial Therapy are designed to help you regain range of motion, strength and endurance in the shortest possible time.
Therapeutic exercises may include:
Along the way, your therapist works closely with you to achieve your recovery goals and reduce your risk of reinjury.
Avera Dakota Plains Surgical Center is an inpatient and outpatient surgery facility, with state-of-the-art equipment and experienced, highly trained staff.
Inpatient recovery rooms are conducive to a pleasant post-operative stay when necessary.
Our physicians and staff are committed to providing quality medical care in a comfortable environment. Avera Dakota Plains Surgical Center is licensed by the South Dakota State Department of Health and accredited by AAAHC.

3 - Any New Yorker familiar with the hard-nosed West 4th street pick-up b-ball games that attract many onlookers (natives and tourists) should definitely be interested in seeing this new documentary feature titled "Doin' It In The Park."
Co-directed by Bobbito Garcia and Kevin Couliau (their debut) "Doin' It In The Park" explores the definition, history, culture and social impact of New York's summer b-ball scene, widely recognized as the worldwide "Mecca" of the sport. There are 700+ outdoor courts, and an estimated 500,000 players, the most loyal of which approach the game as a religion, and the playground as their church. The film lovingly uncovers this movement through the voices of playground legends, NBA athletes, and most importantly the everyday non-pro ballplayers who just love the game.
The co-directors visited 180 courts throughout NYC's five boroughs to compile footage for the film, traveling to a majority of the locations by bicycle, carrying camera equipment and a ball in their backpacks, providing an unprecedented perspective on one of America's most popular, and accessible forms of recreation.
By any means necessary, right?
A few of the folks you can expect to see in the film include: Julius "Dr. J" Erving, Kenny Smith, "Pee Wee" Kirkland, "Fly" Williams, God Shammgod, Tim "Headache" Gittens, Corey "Homicide" Williams, Kenny Anderson, Jack Ryan, Richard "Crazy Legs" Colon, Niki Avery, Milani Malik, and the Park Pick-Up Players of NYC.

Martha Stewart's Cookies: The Very Best Treats to Bake and to Share…
by Martha Stewart Living Magazine
No current Talk conversations about this book.
So many cookies I've never heard of and not enough ingredients at home for me to make them now! I'm really looking forward to making many of these cookies.
A gift from a friend, I haven't been brave enough to try all of the recipes in here - some of them are way beyond my skill level, and require tools I don't own (and never will!). But the cookies I have tried making have been a hit with family and friends. What's really special about this cookbook, aside from the recipes, are the pictures - gorgeous, full-page, life-size pictures of each cookie. Perfectly posed Martha Stewart-style, of course.
My recommendations? The Snickerdoodles (p.82) and the Raspberry Cream Sandwiches (p.93). If you aren't up to making the white chocolate raspberry filling for the later, I found that Brummel & Brown's Simply Strawberry spread is a wonderful substitute that stay's creamier and tastes lighter than the raspberry filling.
Featured at An Abundance of Books
I don't make a habit of reviewing cookbooks, but this one must be shared. There are 175 mouthwatering cookie pictures that make you want to bake every single one of them! The photographic table of contents is fantastic! It's divided into types of cookies (Light and Delicate, Soft and Chewy, Crumbly and Sandy, etc) with photographs of each cookie. Stewart has included savory "cookies" also. The recipes themselves range from easy to ridiculously involved. However, Martha Stewart's Cookies includes enough simple and manageable recipes to make it worth the purchase.
Super yummy with a lot of useful information and some great recipes even busy people can make. One of the best gifts I've ever given! Nom, nom, nom!
Read full review HERE
Yes, yes, I was one of those twentysomethings who subscribed to Martha Stewart Living magazine straight out of college, tearing out recipes and scrapbooking them like precious family photos. It's no great surprise, then, that I'm delighted to be rid of those greasy pages in favor of this professional, tape-free collection of cookie recipes. And unlike some greatest hits compilations, this one actually includes all of my favorites.
Of the seven major cookie categories listed, I prefer. . . uh, many, multiple. I'm nearly equal in my benevolence. My point? Loads of delicious recipes, ones I've been collecting for years, are now grouped droolingly in a softcover edition with gorgeous, full-color photographs next to single-page directions. Bake and enjoy.
Full review, with descriptions of more than a dozen recipes I've tried, on my blog at www.christinereads.com.
This is a nice book with recipes for a wide variety of cookies. I liked how the recipes were grouped according to texture (eg. crumbly, soft & chewy, etc.) and how the table of contents had pictures of every cookie. The book also covers all skill levels. Some are really easy while others seem a bit more complicated. I don't usually bake, but all the recipes I've tried so far have turned out well.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0307394549, Paperback)The perfect cookie for every occasion.
Cookies are the treat that never disappoints.

In Martha Stewart's Cookies, the editors of Martha Stewart Living give you 175 recipes and variations that showcase all kinds of flavors and fancies. Besides perennial pleasers like traditional chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin, there are other sweet surprises, including Rum Raisin Shortbread, Peppermint Meringue Sandwiches with Chocolate Filling, and Lime Meltaways.
Cleverly organized by texture, the recipes in Martha Stewart's Cookies inspire you to think of a classic, nostalgic treat with more nuance. Chapters include all types of treasures: Light and Delicate (Cherry Tuiles, Hazelnut Cookies, Chocolate Meringues); Rich and Dense (Key Lime Bars, Chocolate Mint Sandwiches, Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies); Chunky and Nutty (Magic Blondies, Turtle Brownies, White Chocolate-Chunk Cookies); Soft and Chewy (Snickerdoodles, Fig Bars, Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies); Crisp and Crunchy (ANZAC Biscuits, Chocolate Pistachio Biscotti, Almond Spice Wafers); Crumbly and Sandy (Cappuccino-Chocolate Bites, Maple-Pecan Shortbread, Lemon-Apricot Sandwiches); and Cakey and Tender (Lemon Madeleines, Carrot Cake Cookies, Pumpkin Cookies with Brown-Butter Icing).
Each tantalizing recipe is accompanied by a lush, full-color photograph, so you never have to wonder how the cookie will look. Beautifully designed and a joy to read, Martha Stewart's Cookies is rich with helpful tips and techniques for baking, decorating, and storing, as well as lovely gift-packaging ideas in standout Martha Stewart style.

Have you ever lost track of a record you printed or downloaded that you want to go back to?
You now have quick access to retrieve records you are storing offline. Each time you print or download a record from Ancestry.com, it will appear in your Shoebox in a new tab for "Downloaded and printed records". This way any discovery you make will be easy to find again.
Click here to check out your Shoebox.
With this addition, if you print or download a record we'll also let you know about activity from other members on this record. For example, you might find out about a correction a member makes to the record, or that a member has saved the record to a family tree on Ancestry.com that you haven't seen before. You'll see these updates in the Recent Member Connect Activity box on your homepage and under the Collaborate tab.
18 Comments
Can you guys make it so I can link together trees that I have started?
I am also can not connect my tree together. I started one along time ago and then I have another one. PLease help me.
Stephanie, this will be useful but the Shoebox needs to be searchable and/or sortable, too.
"Tom" (#2) comments 'I think shoebox is perfectly made for me only, as I always hear a track and then forget which actually it was, it can be a very great offer for me, thanks for sharing it with us.' This makes no sense whatsoever!!! Has "Tom" confused Ancestry and iTunes??? Probably not because "Tom" is nothing more than a spammer! He is simply using the Ancestry to get free advertising for a commercial website (click on his name to see where the link leads!)
Ancestry, to stop being used in this way: (1) moderate these postings on the blog; (2) remove the "Your Website" box (it serves no useful purpose!); (3) restrict postings to Ancestry subscribers!
It's nice to know Ancestry hasn't forgotten Shoebox and it actually is possible to "enhance" it.
Now, if you'd just let me have a way to group my items (folders?) and search or sort them by surname, it would actually be a useful tool.
Especially for those of us who are reluctant to use the Trees feature for a variety of reasons.
I like the Shoebox concept, but scrolling through page after page after page to find an old item is 1980s technology, at best.
I've often wondered why anyone would use the shoebox at all when there is a much easier way that lets you save those links and sort, manipulate, group, etc. to your heart's content.
Simply bookmark them in your browser in whatever way you wish them to be organized !
Even better, of course, is to save a copy to your hard drive- that way you can see them even working offline.
If I am going to save a record (actually the location of the record) in MY SHOEBOX, at least let me name the record something meaningful to me. Right now, the shoebox saves it with whatever transcription was originally assigned to it, no matter how badly mangled or how often "corrected."
I have not been able to access my shoe box. There should be a link.
Could you have the shoebox in a easily found position in FTM ?
The shoebox is on your homepage. That's where you find it and access it.
[…] Use batch to print a directory tree of a target computer Directory tree print – cognitive info Shoebox tracks records you print and download Walking the rexml tree « chronicling my ruby on rails journey Automize v8.38 enterprise edition « […]
I have been saving items to my shoebox, but when I go to look for them my shoebox is empty. Records have been file both during the time I had a membership and when I don't have an active membership.
Am I doing something wrong??
If you have an active membership and then quit Ancestry your shoebox goes away.
You don't really save items to your shoebox anyway- you merely save links to those images on Ancestry's servers and with few exception non-subscribers can't view those images.
If you want to always be able to see them then download them and save them on your computer- not in your shoebox.
The Shoebox really does need to be sortable and/or searchable. The feature used in the "List of all people," where you can sort by clicking on a letter, would be most useful in "Your Shoebox."
When trying to sort my Shoebox, I have been extremely frustrated. I find an item on page 10, attach it to my tree and when I go back to Shoebox, it's reverted to page one! Now I have to go through all those pages again to get back to where I was. When there are as many items in Shoebox as I have (over 700), it's too frustrating to go back through them.
As of this morning (April 22), all of the old stuff that I had saved through the years to My Shoebox is gone. There had been three pages of listings. Now there is one page with three items on it, none of which I saved to the Shoebox. These items were saved to the Shoebox through your automatic system, including one item which I know that I neither printed nor downloaded but merely viewed on Ancestry (it was a lookup for someone on a message board). What gives? Another "improvement" gone awry?
I thought it would be good to pass along the following suggestion. The shoebox feature is a very convenient tool that allows us to "save" items that we can come back to later. Is there any way that more functionality can be built into the shoe box such that users could sort based on names, dates, etc. and also have the option to see more than just a handful of items on each shoe box screen? Just curious. Thanks for your time. I look forward to a reply.

Panhandlers are necessary.
It's that time again when people are debating the very presence of panhandlers. In doing so, the lifeline of downtown's economic pulse always seems to come into question.
If I come downtown, will I be harassed? Should I make eye contact or keep walking? If I pull money out, will I be robbed? Why can't they just get a job?
To some politicians, pencilnecks and business owners alike, the answer to all panhandling-related questions is: They're killing business, so get rid of 'em.
Mayor Charlie Luken himself has drafted one of his infamously terse one-liners to the City Solicitor's Office: "I move that the Solicitor's Office draft an anti-panhandling ordinance that sets panhandling restrictions as strict as possible, consistent with constitutional guarantees."
I read that as: Wear down the dirty little buggers with as much harassment as possible without blatantly stepping on their constitutional rights.
The mayor sends another bouquet of love to the homeless at Christmas time, claiming the Greater Cincinnati Coalition for the Homeless (GCCH) is doing Cincinnati a "disservice" by "arming" homeless folks with newspapers. He's referring to Streetvibes, the monthly paper published by the GCCH covering homelessness and poverty-related issues sold by trained, badge-wearing homeless people for a one dollar donation.
Vendors get to keep 80 cents of each dollar they bring in. The rest goes to the paper's administrative costs and other overhead.
The existence and selling of Streetvibes is the manifestation of the American work ethic that, ironically, anti-homeless and anti-panhandling naysayers accuse the aforementioned of being without.
It speaks to professional disposition, entrepreneurship and a real bootstrap mentality that are the collective antithesis of what we think homelessness is.
For my (literal) money, I'd rather be hit up by someone with wares to sell. For the panhandled, exchanging a buck for a tangible item makes the quandary of "whatare theydoinwithmymoney?" easier to swallow.
For vendors selling Streetvibes, "panhandling" is a job. In this respect they're no different than hot dog vendors and the people selling all that loud, garish stuff during Jazz Festival weekend.
For Luken to say newspaper vendors are "armed" and doing us a "disservice" is a revelation of his shortsightedness and cultural alienation. Why not leave it up to Joe and Jane Schmoe as to whether they'd like to purchase a paper? Or is the idea that a "working" citizen just might have a conversation with a "panhandler" frightening to our public officials?
I buy Streetvibes when I can, just like a whole bunch of other people. And when I can't, I look a vendor in the face and say either, "No, thank you," or, "I've got one already." How difficult is that exactly?
Between the lines of all this brouhaha over the "panhandler question" is the subliminal picture painted by detractors that panhandlers love what they do and that there's glamour in begging all day long.
True, there are panhandlers who are sane, able-bodied, free from addiction and might very well be drawing some type of monthly assistance. For them, panhandling is a way to get over.
But even to that extreme, think about just how much they're getting over financially. Oh, the motherload of coins they dump onto their beds at night boggles the mind! They probably get naked and roll around on them until every penny sticks to their skin!
Let's get real. Panhandling in Cincinnati comes down to what every other issue in Cincinnati comes down to -- class.
Panhandling is classless, it's dirty, it's degrading, it's humiliating and it's uncomfortable. And I haven't even gotten to what it must be like for panhandlers.
Ridding city streets of panhandlers has little to do with business fallout or safety and everything to do with aesthetics and how uncomfortable many people feel about dirty people asking for money.
I'll admit it's hard for me to ignore a panhandler as I clutch a frothy $3 coffee drink and a $7 bag of lunch or after I've just paid $5 to $7 to park my car. See, those are all amenities and not necessities.
I'm not trying to guilt anyone into anything. When it comes down to you and the panhandler, think about your own comfort level and give up the coinage or don't. If you don't, try not to walk away bad-mouthing the homeless for something the mayor is trying to socialize you into believing.
Hey, if we really gave this some thought, we'd all go down to Saks Fifth Avenue and panhandle them for some designer gear by Ralph Lauren, Prada, Gucci, Calvin Klein or Tommy Hilfiger. And maybe we'd get our hair done for free, too.
Oh, never mind. Saks already panhandled us for $6.6 million.
I understand if you don't have any spare change for the homeless.

Farrell running for county judge
Farrell running for county judge
A longtime Scranton magisterial district judge formally announced her candidacy Thursday for Lackawanna County judge, saying the length and depth of her service make her the best qualified candidate in the race.
"I think I'm ready to jump in and hit the ground running, and I could fill any niche that needs to be filled at the court of common pleas," said Magisterial District Judge Alyce Hailstone Farrell, 45, of Scranton.
Judge Farrell announced her candidacy before hundreds of supporters at St. Mary's Center.
She is the fourth candidate to make a formal announcement. The others are attorney Patricia Grande Rieder, attorney P. Timothy Kelly and Magisterial District Judge Jim Gibbons. All four are registered Democrats, although judge candidates may file nominating petitions for the Republican and Democratic nominations.
Judge Farrell, a graduate of Dickinson School of Law, served two years while still in law school as an assistant to attorney James Haggerty when he was general counsel for Gov. Robert P. Casey. She joined her father's law firm, now Kreder, Brooks, Hailstone, where she was an associate from 1992 to 1997. In 1997, she was elected magisterial district judge in a territory made up mostly of downtown Scranton and the Hill Section.
Judge Farrell said she has handled more than 100,000 cases, ranging from parking ticket appeals to murders while also serving as the pilot magisterial office for a couple of pilot programs for the county court.
"Right now, I like to say, I'm on the front lines of the judicial system," she said. "You can look it up. I have the busiest office."
At the county court's request, she ran a pilot truancy court and a pilot first-time offender court for underage drinkers. She also started a retail theft court that allows young, first-time offenders to clear their records if they complete a counseling program.
Judge Farrell said she started the program because she remembered Mr. Casey used to get many appeals for pardons from people convicted of retail theft, a conviction that can prevent someone from gaining a state license for various professions.
"My philosophy has always been to try to help people and give people a second chance," she said, but added that she will not hesitate to jail someone who deserves it.

Kris Jenner Still Getting Slammed By Her Sister
April 24, 2014 11:00 AM by Lisa Princ
Kris Jenner and her sister don't seem to get along well, and everytime a new tabloid story pops up about Kris, so does her sister Karen Houghton. Recently, Houghton accused Jenner of drinking heavily to deal with her separation from Bruce Jenner, and she is at it again, still slamming the Kardashian matriarch. Good times…
There definitely does not seem to be any love lost between Kris Jenner and her younger sister, Karen Houghton, who recently accused the Kardashian matriarch of drinking due to her marital demise. And now, Houghton is at it again, bashing Kris Jenner, according to Radar Online. Speaking to Radar, Houghton made it perfectly clear that she feels that Kris Jenner could be doing more for her less famous side of the family, especially Jenner's own mother.
"My mom could have anything she wanted, considering if I had three Bentleys, Mercedes, clothing lines. But, when you express a loving family and family values and a close family and my mom wants to live in La Jolla, buy her a condo, Kris! I don't understand her. I never will," Karen explained. But while Houghton definitely feels that Jenner could be doing more for their elderly mother, she did acknowledge that Kris does take care of her children and grandchildren very well.
That, however, does not excuse her for how she treats the rest of her family. Houghton blames it on the money. And one thing is certain, if Jenner's sister every became rich, she would not live the same lifestyle as the infamous momager. Instead, Houghton said: "If it were me, I would open up an animal shelter or something. Who cares about an $80,000 purse when you can open a domestic violence shelter?!" Yep, we completely agree!
Most of our Facebook fans agree that Jenner is one person most of us love to hate, but does she really deserve to be bashed by her sister?

Dolphin Mercenaries Get A New Master
Of the many ways in which man plunders the oceans, none can be more demeaning to our supposedly intelligent and perceptive species than the harm we do to cetaceans. The various ways in which we exploit dolphins are particularly alarming. These, as we all know, are very smart creatures with complex social and family structures, a highly developed language, and brains that have much in common with their human equivalent. Scientists who have studied them closely believe they also have many of the high level functions of human intelligence, including reasoning and empathy. Who can doubt it when they see the distress they can exhibit as, for instance, the dolphins at Taiji in Japan as they circle their captured or wounded family members? There is a strong lobby against such depredations and against "Dolphinariums," but a lot of dolphins are still taken from the wild each year for food or dolphin entertainment facilities. But how about dolphins as weapons or dolphins as mercenaries?
The truth is that military operations around the world have been training dolphins for use in combat for more than 50 years. It is not hard to see the attraction. These animals can obviously be trained to perform complex tasks and in their marine environment they would not be recognized as a threat by any potential enemy. During the height of the Soviet empire, Russia was at the forefront of research into this field. One leading expert in this area was a certain Boris Zhurid, who trained many dolphins for the Russians. They were reportedly capable of attacking warships and frogmen – they could even differentiate between friendly and enemy divers using propeller sounds as a cue – and thus became known as Kamikaze dolphins. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, most funding for the project was lost and, as the BBC reported, the dolphins were transferred to an aquarium catering to tourists.
Now once more, lack of money has resulted in another move for the dolphins. Zhurid's operation struggled in the cold winters at the Sevastopol base and could no longer fund the necessary food or medical supplies. The lot have been sold off to Iran. 27 animals were shipped by Russian transport aircraft, including the dolphins, seals, sea lions, a white Beluga whale, three cormorants and the indefatigable Mr. Zhurid, who intends to continue his "research" in Iran. The Russian paper Komsomolskaya Pravda described the dolphins as "mercenaries" and believes that Russia has sold off its "secret weapon" on the cheap.
So, Boris is somewhere in Iran indoctrinating his cetaceans into a new regime. It seems that political convictions are not his driving force, if we are to believe the statement attributed to him by the Beeb, in which he says "I'm prepared to go to Allah, or even to the devil, as long as my animals are OK there." He really does want the best for dolphins then, except of course the one thing they really should enjoy – the freedom to swim in the world's oceans. As doing his best for the dolphins once included, and probably still does, a willingness to see them blown to smithereens in the name of the military, then maybe this is one benefactor they could do without.

There are variations depending on your taste but the base is:
1 cup Muscle Gain chocolate (vanilla works too)… Read More
1 cup Peanut Butter (the organic from Costco ROCKS!)
1 cup Honey (find something local & organic)
4 cups nuts (your choice) our current favorite mix is Almonds, Walnuts, Pecans & oats.
Chop or put the nuts in a food processor, keep the oats whole, mix it all up and roll into small balls. Keep in the fridge. Can be frozen.
A great variation is to put the nuts in the food processor and chop them finely. Vanilla Muscle gain with mini choc chips. Tastes exactly like chocolate chip cookie dough (hat tip Dawn Steggerda!)

Sports Camp
by Rich Wallace
No current Talk conversations about this book.
From April 2010 SLJ
When 11-year-old Riley Liston arrives at Camp Olympia, he quickly realizes that it's going to be a long two weeks: as one of the youngest and smallest campers, he doesn't have the strength that the older guys do in basketball and softball. Normally, he wouldn't mind—he knows he's a good swimmer and runner—but the cabins are all competing for the coveted Big Joe Trophy (named after the legendary snapping turtle that inhabits the lake), and Riley doesn't want to be the person who takes the Cabin 3 Threshers out of the running. His concerns seem well-founded: during basketball and softball games the first several days, loud Barry berates Riley for his playing, and none of the guys goes out of his way to make Riley feel like part of the gang. But he perseveres, and friendships slowly develop as a few cabin-mates begin swimming laps each day in preparation for the Lake Surprise Showdown, the marathon swimming race that occurs the last night of camp. Despite bumps along the way—Cabin Four's practical jokes on the Threshers; Riley's nauseous run-in with some none-too-fresh fried chicken; spooky happenings that make the campers wonder if Big Joe is more than just a legend—the boys in Cabin 3 hold their own, and by the final night of camp, the question of which cabin will claim the Big Joe Trophy is anybody's call. Wallace has a talent for capturing adolescent boys' behavior in his stories, and while the plot is formulaic and some of the story requires suspending belief (a remarkable lack of adult presence as campers build fires late at night and fashion homemade cigarettes), the story has appeal. Each chapter ends with a Camp Olympia Bulletin, the daily newsletter that keeps campers apprised of upcoming activities and team standings. Purchase where sports stories by Matt Christopher and Dan Gutman are popular.
Sports play an important role in a child's life. If you like a particular sport you have to practice to see positive results. When involved in sports you can't give up. Sports teach you how to play as a team.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0375840591, Hardcover)Riley feels like the smallest kid at sports camp. In fact, he is. He just turned eleven in April, but most kids here are twelve, and a few are even thirteen—and gigantic. It's hard enough for a shrimp like Riley to fit in. He just doesn't want to be the weak link as his bunk competes for the Camp Olympia Trophy.
Riley knows he's no good at strength and accuracy games like basketball and softball. But when it comes to speed and endurance events, like running and swimming, he's better than he looks. He's pretty sure he can place in the top ten—and bring in major trophy points—in the final mile-long swim race across Lake Surprise. But he doesn't count on being followed by the shadow of Big Joe, the giant vicious snapping turtle of camp lore. Wasn't that supposed to be a legend?

I usually purchase cotton yarn through littleknits.com and yarnmarket.com. I love their bright colors and they match the yarn recommended by Alla in her gorgeous patterns. My experience with the above has been wonderful and I highly recommend them.
Happy Easter!

Philip Morris announced today that they intend to debut several new products that will fly under the existing banners of their brands, such as Marlboro. Perhaps the most interesting of the products was the proposed "low risk" cigarette. Essentially the product would use a chemical reaction that would then create an aerosol that contained nicotine and it would be delivered to the customer in that capacity. What many have found jarring about this is that it sounds an awful lot like an e cigarette in terms of concept.
This is something that is rather odd given that many had wondered why the large company hadn't gotten into the e cigarette business sooner. Is this a matter of too little too late? After all with the large number of brands out there, such as the 7s brand and their great e cigarette starter kit, even a big company like Philip Morris might have a hard time getting into the game.
But it does need to be stressed that this technically is not an e cigarette they are talking about, though the idea sounds strikingly similar. It easily makes one wonder whether or not they are making their product so different from e cigarettes in an attempt to make it seem as though they have a "better" idea on their hands. Regardless of intentions it is almost a guarantee that there will be comparisons to e cigarettes. Until then we must simply wait and see.

The mystery of what happened to her after 1869 just adds to the drama. Is there something we can do to help find out what happened to her? Some of us plan to visit Gainesville in October. Hopefully there will be a lot of Leffel descendants show up so we can meet some new cousins. Would also like to meet the author of this blog.:)firstname.lastname@example.com

Nichiren Shoshu Buddhists recite the sutra, called Gongyo, everyday. The sutra refers to the Lotus Sutra. Our founder, Nichiren Daishonin, states in the Gosho, "On the Four Stages of Faith and the Five Stages of Practice:"
The five characters of Myo-Ho-Renge-Kyo are not merely the text of the sutra, nor its meaning. They are nothing other than the intent of the Lotus Sutra. (Gosho, p. 1114)*
At our next New Member Meeting, our Chief Priest will continue our study of the Basics of Practice book, Chapter 3, How To Do Gongyo. He will explain about the Lotus Sutra and significance of the lotus flower.

Hi, never posted in this forum but I have a question that doesn't seem to fit anywhere else.
I'm in the market for a new jersey but I'm looking for one with either the VFW insignia and / or logo or the American Legion insignia and / or logo.
For once Google isn't helping me out much.
Any ideas?
