Every so often, Jeff Withey's phone will signal a text has arrived and many times what is communicated might be considered more a warning than a message. It is a reminder of the importance of winning the Big 12 regular-season championship, and it comes from someone who contributed to one of the program's many recent titles.
Every Kansas basketball player carries this burden now, but it has become one of the most precious privileges of being a Jayhawk.
Withey, KU's 7-foot senior center, has heard from recent stars such as Thomas Robinson, Sherron Collins and the Morris twins.
"Everybody kind of says the same thing," Withey told Sporting News on Thursday. "When we went through the three-game losing streak, they'd text me. All the older guys that have been here, they always come back, aren't afraid to tell us we have to win the conference."
The reason this even is an issue as Kansas (26-4, 14-3) heads to Baylor on Saturday (6 p.m. ET tip on ESPN) is the three-game skid that enveloped the Jayhawks in early February, which included a 62-55 defeat at TCU that stands, in terms of RPI rank, as the most improbable college basketball upset of the past 20 years.
If the Jayhawks had won there, they'd have clinched the Big 12 title Monday on Senior Night. They've won eight consecutive titles. This would be title nine.
It sounds almost routine, and it can feel that way, too. But the next-longest current streak is only three consecutive titles, and there have been only four in Division I history that were longer, including UCLA's record 13 and the Gonzaga's streak of 11 that ended last year.

This would be an astounding achievement, and winning it might be enough to escape the stench of the TCU game.
"We came out thinking we were going to win. We kind of took them for granted," Withey said. "It was kind of dead, our energy level. I'd say we just weren't fully prepared for them. Since then, we've made sure we're ready for every team. Everybody knows we can lose on a given night, so we've got to come ready to play.
"Losing three in a row kind of knocked sense in us, and we can't lose from here on out. We've come ready to play ever since."
More than a month has passed since the Massacre in Fort Worth. The Kansas Jayhawks have won seven games since that frightful evening, and one more win will seal the Big 12.
It is possible they'll have to share that title with Kansas State (25-5, 14-3), which plays Oklahoma State on Saturday afternoon (1:30 p.m. ET on the Big 12 Network). It is possible that K-State could lose Saturday and KU could clinch a title share before its game begins in Waco.
At this point, however, KU appears to be as intent on performing well as on stacking trophies.
"We had that one awful stretch," Kansas coach Bill Self told Sporting News, "but we kind of got our mojo back."
Linemakers: Why it's important to be a No. 1 seed
Kansas isn't a great team, certainly, at least not yet. Two of the victories in the team's current seven-game winning streak went into overtime, and the second of those, at Iowa State, turned on a fortunate officiating decision and errors by the officiating crew that have been acknowledged by the Big 12 office.
There is a swagger again about how the Jayhawks are performing, though, particularly from guards Elijah Johnson and Ben McLemore.
Johnson delivered 39 points in the Iowa State game, and he since has passed for double-figure assists twice.
"When he played that game, something just clicked for him," Withey said. "Ever since then, he's been a different person. He's been balling. I don't know what happened, but it just flew back to him. He's our PG, and we feed off his energy. It just makes everything so much easier for everybody else.
"He definitely stepped up and got out of that funk, and it's kind of that perfect timing."
McLemore, whose All-American candidacy has been damaged by periodic bouts of indifference, has hit 17-of-29 shots the past two games and averaged 24.5 points.
"For a guy shooting that well from 3, he probably doesn't shoot it enough," Self said. "Last game, he didn't score or shoot the ball well from 3, but he was hungry. We run more stuff for him than we do anybody, but a lot of times he wasn't putting himself in position to come off the screen to score."
Always among this season's dominant defenders, with an average of four blocks per game, Withey has been more assertive at the offensive end. During the losing streak, he averaged only seven shot attempts and 12.3 points. Since KU began winning, he is up to nine shots and 16.6 points. He has worked with assistant coach Norm Roberts to improve his jumpshot, and it is working so well Withey tried—and made—his first career 3-pointer in Monday's game.
"Early on, people didn't really guard me in the high post, and now I'm getting more comfortable shooting that," Withey said. "A little turnaround jumpshot is working for me. It gives the defense something to look at other than my hook shot. It definitely helps me, and it gives our teammates another option."

Kansas is one of those teams still competing for a No. 1 seed in the NCAAs, and next week it again will play close to home (Kansas City, Mo.) in the Big 12 Tournament. There is no cause to be concerned the Jayhawks will be distracted from the current task, however.
Every huddle since the team began practicing back in October has been broken with the chant, "Big 12 champs." The Jayhawks weren't speaking of the title they won last year, or the seven before that. They were pointing toward the one they planned to claim in 2013. And now it is at hand.
"You don't get a ring for getting in the NCAA Tournament," Self said. "You get a ring if you win a championship.
"It's something that's ingrained in our minds. Nobody wants to be the team that doesn't do it."
Player of the Year: Who should win?

I saw some posts about a show in September. It appears that many of the participants in this site were not happy with the performance.
I acquired tickets to see the group on 12 November 2015 in Quebec through DGM's giveaway. When we got to the show, we found out that this was a "friends and family" show. So the band played to approximately 400 die-hard Crimfans, who WERE BLOWN AWAY! Almost everyone I spoke to after the show was smiling ear to ear, as they had been since the beginning of the show. Absolutely no-one I spoke to was displeased. I am tempted to say it was the BEST CONCERT (of any group) I HAVE EVER ATTENDED.
OK, I know that is an over-abundance of all caps. Please don't take it as shouting, rather it should represent surprise and intensity.
Anyhow, seeing the Quebec show prompted me to get tix for 21 November 2015 in Toronto. A totally different experience for me, because this time it was a rock-show, instead of a show for geeks who were looking to be satisfied (or hyper-critical). But the band played magnificently, seemed to be enjoying themselves, and kicked serious butt. The set was appropriately 2/3 the same tunes, which means about 1/3 of the set was different... And the ditties they did repeat were a work of the moment, and a joy to behold. No-one in the audience disrupted the musicians by snapping pictures (which I heard had happened the previous night, and at another show). The fun the band appeared to be having was conveyed to the audience, while blowing it away.
The excitement that the three (two and a half, actually) drummers brought to the show contributed to this atmosphere greatly. Not to mention Mel Collins, ladies and gentlemen, Mel F*(k!n& Collins! And the new tune, Melt... Wow. Many of us were recalling previous Crim-assisted-melts we had experienced years ago, I'm sure. I knew nothing of Jakko J (except his name and that he and Fripp and Collins had done a record together before), and come away convinced that he is a perfect example of how this is no slouchy-we are old and will be hitting the state fair circuit soon-tired '60's band-cash-in. They may have been having a great time, but they were working extremely hard.
I think that may be a major factor in the enjoyment I got out of these shows: Fripp and co. were clearly having a good time! Who would ever guess that Fripp would be smiling and taking photos of the audience as well as "selfies" with his camera/smartphone at the end of the show, presumably to recall an occasion he enjoyed?!

Hultzen earns no-decision in second Triple-A start
But Hultzen also struggled to command the strike zone and he walked four, throwing 90 pitches -- 52 of which were strikes -- in just four innings and was credited with a no-decision in a 11-4 Rainiers loss.
"After the last outing, I just really wanted to get out there again," Hultzen. "I was real excited to pitch tonight. It didn't go as well as we wanted to. I thought I did a little bit better and that's all you can ask for, is improvement. Hopefully it can get better next time."
The story doesn't end there, though. That's because the Rainiers' opponent, the Las Vegas 51s, sent the ageless wonder, Jamie Moyer, to the mound. The 49-year-old pitched for the Mariners for 11 seasons and is the club's all-time wins leader with 145.
In his first start with the Blue Jays' Triple-A affiliate in an attempt to keep his professional playing career alive, Moyer allowed three runs in five innings and was credited with the win.
Before Moyer entered the storyline, though, the talk was how Hultzen would perform in his first home start. Hultzen lasted just three innings in his Triple-A debut on June 23, taking the loss after giving up five runs on five hits while walking five.
Hultzen showed showed glimpses of how dangerous he could be on the mound on Thursday with a fastball that consistently hit in the low 90s -- and touched 96 mph at one point -- and an offspeed pitch that dropped to 76 mph. After breezing through the first inning, though, Hultzen labored through his last three innings with spotty control.
"Pretty much everything, actually," said Hultzen on what pitches got away from him. "I just couldn't throw strikes, couldn't get ahead of the hitters. But when I do, I feel like I've a really good shot at getting the guy out, so that's something I really, really need to work on. Not only walking people, but getting ahead and throwing more strikes."
Hultzen believes that will come with time. Very conscious of not making any excuses, the lefty pointed to his adjustment periods in Spring Training and Double-A as signs that he thinks his product will become cleaner, more efficient and more effective with time.
"That's the main thing I noticed, is that these guys have an approach that they're going to stick to," he said. "If the ball's two inches off the plate, it might as well be a foot off the plate -- they're not going to swing at it.
"Especially with offspeed pitches, if you're not throwing that for strikes, they notice that. They can sit on pitches. They're a lot more disciplined. I think that's a huge factor."
"He'll get more efficient," Rainiers manager Daren Brown said. "He's done it in Double-A and it's just a matter of time here."
While Hultzen was working his way through the rocky four innings, it wasn't lost on him who he was sharing the mound with.
"That was awesome to watch," he said. "It was really cool to not only play against him, but to watch him. A guy you look up to growing up and you're playing on the same mound as him all of a sudden."

Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy is waiting to hear from Leicester regarding the future of midfielder Richie Wellens.
Wellens, signed on loan by former Town boss Paul Jewell, returned to the King Power Stadium last week following the end of his month-long stay at Portman Road.
McCarthy, who recently succeeded Jewell, is keen to bring the 32-year-old back to Suffolk and has spoken to Leicester counterpart Nigel Pearson.
"He hasn't got a big squad," McCarthy told BBC Radio Suffolk.
"It's up in the air at the moment. We can do it next week if we feel we should and if they want to do it.
"We're beholden to Leicester - he's their player."

A group of a few hundred people ranging in age and diversity, some carrying signs gathered last Thursday morning outside City Hall as part of the Occupy Philly (OP) movement to bring attention to and an end to what protestors call rampant corporate greed and a flawed American system that bails out the rich and ignores the poor. Thousands occupied Wall Street in Manhattan this month in similar fashion.
"We are all the people's committee," said Larry Swetman, 25, as he spoke to the crowd early on in the event. Swetman, a bottom-liner for the OP facilitation committee, is a barista who moved to Philadelphia from Atlanta, Georgia. "Lend your voice. Lend your energy. Be the change you want to see in the world."
By nightfall, the number of protestors had dwindled, but at least two hundred people occupied Dilworth Plaza. A small tent community was erected. By Monday morning, the tent community had grown to one-hundred plus tents.
While a number of protestors, including Swetman, mentioned revolution, few had any idea as to what sort of system would work in place of our current government and economic institutions in the event their movement succeeded. But that did not deter their efforts or convictions. They maintained Thursday's gathering and ensuing occupation is the beginning. It is about spreading the message and bringing people together in solidarity. Details about how will unfold as the process evolved, they maintained.
Facebook was the main communication tool used element to organize OP, according to John Laing, an OP media relations coordinator. The demonstrations in Cairo at Tahrir Square were an inspiration and catalyst to this event, he said.
Protestors plan to occupy City Hall, they claim, some sleeping overnight, until their message is acknowledged by political leaders. Young adults collected several hundred empty cardboard boxes, many from dumpsters, which they have used as beds.
Organizers communicate to the crowd using what they call a "mic check." This is when someone stands at a high, prominent location, usually on a bench, and yells out "mic check." The crowd repeats, and then the speaker disseminates his or her message in fragments of sentences that the crowd repeats. By nightfall, the group was using mic checks to take votes on whether or not they would apply for a permit. At first there was dissent about the application, but talks assuaged anxieties and occupants applied and were approved for a permit on Friday.
Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said Thursday morning the protestors were peaceful. He maintained their right to assemble. "I am optimistic," he said, that the crowd would remain peaceful.
For now the protestors' message remains clear.
"One percent of the people squander all the wealth," said Steve Ford, 56, who carried a sign that said one percent does not equal the people. "It's just not fair."
"I always envied America, this was a dream," said Wagaye Berhanu, a 41-year-old Ethiopian-born recent graduate of a University of Pennsylvania master's education program. "I thought this was the land of opportunity. Coming here has been very disappointing… As I can see this is a fake democracy. Money is the master. The poor masses are the losers and the banks are bailed out and the system continues."
"I think they should do something like FDR did," said Zandra Christ, a retired main Philadelphia Public Library branch librarian about a potential solution.
"I think this is an outpouring of people who have never met but are concerned about the way our country is going," said Helen Evelev, a retired social worker.
"I am here to support the movement to stop corporate interference in the political process," said Reggie Abdullah, 58, of North Philadelphia. "[…] It goes across racial boundaries. There should be no boundaries for people who seek a decent means of living."
While the protest appeared to be a disjointed gathering of various individuals who were upset with different aspects of the government, the tone of unrest ran among all the protestors the Local talked to.
"We are being lied to and setup to be enslaved in debt," said Pete Walksi, 23, of Philadelphia. Walksi, a two-time college dropout, said he became disillusioned with what he was taught during his business sustainability courses at Arizona State University. Sustainability was not what he was taught, he said. Instead, he was taught profitability. Walksi said the disintegration of the Federal Reserve would be a step in the right direction towards hammering out a solution.
The OP movement developed into a quasi-cohesive event last week during initial meetings at Broad Street Ministry, located at 315 South Broad Street by the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, according to Laing, a web developer at the American College of Physicians.
At that meeting, various individuals took initiative and began to organize the large group of people into various outreach committees he said. A number of subcommittees were formed, and bottom-liners, or point persons, were designated. Those committees include separate groups for help, food, art, welcoming and even media-interaction training, among others. According to Laing, new committees continue to be created as ideas arise.
"A lot of people are tossing around the word leaderless movement," Laing said. "But it is really a leaderful movement. Anyone that wants to can be a leader."
He said next week organizers, who shy from being labeled such, would talk more about exactly how their mission will play out and develop a clear direction. At that time, there should be some sort of document that can be presented to legislators, though, at this point, no committee or person has been selected for such a role. Laing said the OP legal team would help decide that aspect of the movement.
"There is no hierarchy," he said. "[Leadership, or the bottom-liners] was organically grown."
For now, general assembly's will be hosted twice a day at City Hall, as announced on the scene. Laing said larger marches are planned for each Saturday as the movement continues.
It is slow process, Laing said Monday morning, about the movement and added that Occupy Wall Street leaders only recently presented their demands.
While it may be slow, the word about the protest is spreading into the professional realms. Representatives from the Teamsters Local Union No. 929 heard about the occupation Thursday morning on the radio, and decided to offer their support.
"We share the same interests," said No. 929 President Rocky Bryan, Jr. "Corporate America ran the economy into the toilet."
"Corporate America has waged war on the workers," said John Preston, also of the 929. "We are here to support the working class."
As far as the next step, protestors maintained spreading the word was their first goal.
"I don't really have any assumptions about what or should happen," said John Wieme, 27, of Philadelphia, who works for a non-profit energy company. "It's just starting now." Wieme said he favored a progressive tax policy that taxed the rich more.
And while the event reminded some of the Vietnam and Civil Rights protests of days past, one occupier said the tenacity of those times was lacking today.
'This is not as furious," said Maggie McCourt, 65, of Roxborough. McCourt held a sign that read "A job is a right."
Still, the protestors maintain the strength of their message resonates with 99 percent of the people in the U.S. They maintain they are a part of and represent the 99 percent who answer to the one percent. They maintain the one percent are the rich who benefit from the maladies of society's social institutions and structures. For now, occupants will work on gathering momentum.
"Instead of being in our individual worlds and discontent," said Swetman, "we are here together discontent."

Stopping the plague
Boulder County Public Health officials recommend the following precautions to reduce the risk of contracting bubonic plague:
Avoid fleas. Protect pets with flea powder, drops or a new flea collar. Keep pets on leashes and out of wild rodent habitats.
Stay out of wild rodent habitats yourself. Wear insect repellent and tuck pant cuffs into socks if walking through areas wild rodents are known to be.
Avoid rodents including squirrels. Do not feed them.
Do not touch sick or dead animals.
Prevent rodent infestation near your home by clearing plants away from outside walls, reducing access to possible food sources and setting up traps.
Treat rodent sites near your home with flea powder or insecticide.
Anyone who observes plague symptoms in a person or pet, including fatigue, fever and swollen lymph nodes, should contact their health care provider or veterinarian immediately. The illness can be treated with antibiotics.
For more information about plague, visit BoulderCountyVector.org or call 303-441-1564.
Bubonic plague has returned to Boulder County, public health officials announced after fleas collected from the city of Boulder's Marshall open space property, northeast of the intersection of South Boulder and Cherryvale roads, last week tested positive for the disease.
The flea samples were collected from a deserted prairie dog colony on the property, officials say. It is the first confirmed case of plague in Boulder County since 2011.
The threat of spreading the disease has not been deemed serious enough to close the open space, but county health officials are urging people to protect themselves.
"The fleas don't travel large distances, so it's nothing we're seeing spread or becoming an epidemic. It's confined to that one area," said Lane Drager, consumer protection coordinator for Boulder County Public Health. "But if pets are going into these areas, they are risking exposure for themselves and for those pet owners."
The plague can causes symptoms including high fever, extreme fatigue and painful, swollen lymph nodes.
Drager said county officials chose not to dust the Marshall property with pesticides because they did not "feel there was an immediate risk to the community." Any risk will diminish when the first freeze sets in this fall or winter and the flea population dies off.
Heather Swanson, a wildlife ecologist for Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks, said the disease has been active, if not confirmed, every year since 2005.
She said open space officials have posted signs warning of the plague risk in and around the 44-acre Marshall property, including at the nearby Dry Creek Trailhead, located southwest of the intersection of Basline Road and North 75th Street, and on the corner of Cherryvale and South Boulder Roads.
She said she would discourage people from visiting the Marshall property, home to a single, large prairie dog colony, at this time.
Lafayette resident Stewart Williams showed up at the Dry Creek Trail around 2 p.m. Wednesday with his dogs Bailey and Sophie. Even though he saw the signs, he said he was not too concerned his pets would contract plague.
Beverly Dowers, a resident of the Fairview Estates neighborhood just east of the Marshall property, said she and her husband contacted officials after noticing the prairie dogs that had previously been encroaching on their yard all but disappeared three weeks ago.
Now that the plague has been confirmed, Dowers said she just put some fresh flea drops on her pug, Mopps.
She hopes the plague confirmation might spur officials to install a prairie dog fence along the Marshall property to protect the neighborhood, something she and her husband had hoped would happen for years.
"It's concerned us for a long time," she said. "Our grandkids play here. It's scary, you know?"

Outdoor Idaho "Idaho Fairways" OUTDOOR IDAHO cameras visit some of the state's golf courses that cater primarily to locals and are gathering places for the community. Some are on naturally challenging terrains, others are designed and created; some are built by farmers, others by a more formal process. From hillsides to canyons, from sharing space with an airport to links behind protective woods, Idaho's small courses offer unique experiences.G

WALTHAM, Mass., March 20, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BG Medicine, Inc. (Nasdaq:BGMD) today announced that on March 18, 2014, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued patent 8,672,857, titled "Galectin-3 and Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy," to the Company. The patent claims methods for predicting responsiveness to cardiac resynchronization therapy by the measurement of the concentration of the protein galectin-3 in blood.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy, also referred to as biventricular pacing, involves the implantation of a specialized pacemaker device to attempt to improve the heart's rhythm and alleviate symptoms associated with arrhythmia in heart failure.
"The issuance of this patent both strengthens and broadens BG Medicine's patent portfolio covering galectin-3 testing," said Dr. Paul R. Sohmer, President and CEO of BG Medicine, Inc. "We will continue to aggressively pursue the protection of our intellectual property related to galectin-3."
The BGM Galectin-3® Test is cleared by the U.S. FDA as an aid in assessing the prognosis of patients diagnosed with chronic heart failure when used in conjunction with clinical evaluation.
The BGM Galectin-3® Test is CE Marked and is available in Europe as an aid in assessing the prognosis of patients diagnosed with acute and chronic heart failure when used in conjunction with clinical evaluation. It is also CE Marked for adults as an aid in assessing the risk of new onset heart failure.
About Galectin-3 and Heart Failure
Galectin-3 is a protein that is involved in fundamental disease processes including the development of fibrosis in organ tissues, and cardiac remodeling, which may lead to the development and progression of heart failure. Higher levels of galectin-3 are associated with a more aggressive form of heart failure, which may make identification of high-risk patients using galectin-3 testing an important part of patient care. Galectin-3 testing may be useful in helping physicians determine which patients are at higher risk of hospitalization or death. The BGM Galectin-3® Test is to be used as an aid in assessing the prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure, in conjunction with clinical evaluation. For more information please visit www.BG-Medicine.com.
About BG Medicine, Inc.
BG Medicine, Inc. (Nasdaq:BGMD), the developer of the BGM Galectin-3® Test, is focused on the development and delivery of diagnostic solutions to aid in the clinical management of heart failure and related disorders.

I cut out two squares of felt 15X15 inches and laid out the bats to see how I liked them. I used a ruler to get the top row even, and then the bottom and middle bats positioned on the side row, so I would have a good grid to work from. Then I just eyeballed and placed the rest of the bats. I sewed a triangle in the body of the bats to hold them down, I wanted the wings to be able to "flap". (although it might make you crazy if you are OCD and need everything flat and in place- if that's the case sew down the wings too.)
Then sew the two squares together, leaving an opening for stuffing. Make sure you don't sew any of the bat wings into the side seams, use pins, or just be aware of them as you sew around. Clip the corners of the square and turn right side out.
You are now the proud owner of a frightfully darling bat pillow.
I am over the moon!! I just saw that my project was featured here!!!:

Lake Erie Watersnake (Nerodia sipedon insularum)
5-Year Review: Summary and Evaluation
Below are the General Information, Synthesis, and Results portions of the Five-Year Review. Go here for the complete 23-page Review (PDF).
1.1 Reviewers
1.2 Methodology used to complete the review: This 5-year review was completed by Megan Seymour, Wildlife Biologist with the Ohio Ecological Services Field Office, and recovery coordinator for the Lake Erie Watersnake (Nerodia sipedon insularum). The Service requested new scientific or commercial data and information that may have a bearing on the species' classification of threatened status through a April 22, 2008, Federal Register notice (73 FR 21643) initiating the 5-year review. The primary data used to conduct this 5-year review include various annual reports from Dr. Richard King, Northern Illinois University (NIU), a recognized Lake Erie Watersnake expert, Principal Investigator for the annual Lake Erie Watersnake census, and generator of annual population estimates. Additional information was obtained from Kristin Stanford, a Ph.D. candidate under Dr. King. Ms. Stanford conducts research on various aspects of Lake Erie Watersnake biology and behavior, and conducts significant public outreach efforts among island residents and visitors on the U.S. western Lake Erie islands. Information on public opinion was derived primarily from formal surveys conducted by Wayne Wilkinson, NIU (Wilkinson 2008) and Andrea Olive (Olive 2008). Information on accidental human-induced mortality was obtained from research conducted by NIU and The Ohio State University. Contaminant research was conducted by Fernie et al. (2008). Research on the impacts of invasive species was primarily completed by faculty and students at NIU (Jones et al. 2009, King et al. 2008, King et al. 2006). The final listing rule (52 FR 21478) and the species recovery plan (USFWS 2003) were also relied upon to evaluate if and to what degree each of the recovery criteria identified in the Lake Erie Watersnake Recovery Plan (USFWS 2003) has been achieved, and follow-up actions that may be warranted, while assessing the species status in this 5-year review.
In the recovery plan (Service 2003a, p. G-19) we describe a revision to the common name from "Lake Erie water snake" to "Lake Erie Watersnake" per the peer-reviewed naming convention outlined in "Scientific and Standard English Names of Amphibians and Reptiles of North America North of Mexico, with Comments Regarding Confidence in Our Understanding" (most recent version Crother 2008). Subsequently, we refer to the subspecies as "Lake Erie Watersnake" in this and future documents. In accordance with the 5-Year Review Guidance (USFWS and NMFS 2006), peer review will be conducted when the proposed rule to remove the species from the List of Endangered Species (50 CFR 17.11) is issued.
1.3 Background:
2.4 Synthesis
Previously recognized threats of habitat destruction, little or no legal protection, and human persecution no longer affect the existence of the watersnake. Current available information shows that the populations are persisting and a substantial amount of habitat is now secured and managed. Recovery of Lake Erie Watersnake has been achieved (USFWS 2003). Based on this 5-year review, Lake Erie Watersnake does not meet the definition of an endangered or threatened species, and therefore delisting the species due to recovery is recommended.
3.1 Recommended Classification:
3.2 New Recovery Priority Number: 15.
3.3 Listing and Reclassification Priority Number
Above are the General Information, Synthesis, and Results portions of the Five-Year Review. Go here for the complete 23-page Review (PDF).

Another great tool to help your birthing time go more quickly and easily.
Hypnobabies is great, because it is eyes open childbirth hypnosis. Moms using Hypnobabies are able to open their eyes, walk, talk, shower, sit on birth balls, do pretty much anything! By following their body in moving to different positions, it helps their baby move down and out more quickly!

The 2010 Tony Award-winning "Best Musical" is now playing at the Providence Performing Arts Center, only two years after opening on Broadway.
I talked with Texas born and raised Julie Johnson, who plays Gladys, the mother of a white boy who falls in love with a "colored" girl at a time when integration was struggling to succeed in the music business. Johnson had made her name playing both the roles of Patsy Cline and her right-hand person in the two shows about the country singer's life.
"The role of Gladys came to me at a perfect time in my life," she said. "I loved playing Patsy Cline, but I didn't want to be labeled. Growing up in Texas, country music was always a part of my life, but our home was also filled with classical, gospel and rock & roll.
"We began rehearsals just over a year ago, and I've been on the road ever since. My 14-year-old son is traveling with me and I am home-schooling him. He loves history, so we can't wait to get to Providence and Boston. The show is booked through May of 2013, so we will have seen most of the country."
"Memphis," according to Johnson, is one of those original Broadway musicals that was "built from the ground up. The music is all new. The writers started with an idea and slowly developed it into a great idea."
Is it country? Is it rock 'n roll?
Johnson refers to a Little Richard quote in the musical that describes the music of the fifties as "Negro blues sped up."
From the underground dance clubs of 1950s Memphis comes a musical with explosive dancing, irresistible songs and an original plot about a white radio DJ and a black club singer and their forbidden love.
Once again, Lynne Singleton and his staff have won out in getting the latest and greatest Broadway had to offer.
"Memphis" is at the Providence Performing Arts Center December 4-9. Call 421-ARTS for tickets.

Rogers has unveiled pricing for its Samsung ATIV S, according to images sent in to MobileSyrup. The Canadian carrier announced the ATIV S last month, and now it's been confirmed to be priced at $149.99 on a 3-year plan. The Windows Phone is also listed at $599.99 month-to-month.
Unfortunately there's still no word on when consumers can expect to see the ATIV S in stores and online, but at least saving can begin until that point in time. We do know that the device is believed to launch sometime this month so we could see a launch anytime this coming week. Sporting a massive 4.8" display, the ATIV S is set to turn heads as it attracts attention due to listed specifications.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 4, 2009) - When former Lady Buccaneer sharpshooter Michele DeVault (Columbus, Ohio) stepped off the court for the final time in an ETSU uniform at the 2008 NCAA Tournament, she knew it wouldn't be the last time she would lace up her sneakers.
On Monday morning ETSU's all-time three-point shooter will revive her basketball career when she boards a flight over the
"I am very excited to be given this opportunity to continue playing the game I love and have a passion for," said DeVault, over the phone in her hometown of
DeVault's senior season was a memorable one for the Lady Buccaneer star, as she helped guide ETSU to its first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance in 2007-08. During that campaign DeVault reached numerous milestones - such as joining the prestigious 1000-point club with her deep trey against Gardner-Webb on Jan. 12 inside
Before continuing a career path in basketball, DeVault knew she needed to complete her degree in Elementary Education. DeVault finished her student-teaching assignment in the fall of 2008, and graduated that winter before heading out to Palm Springs, Calif. to become a Fitness Trainer. However, after spending a few months out west, DeVault knew she wanted to make the switch to basketball.
"After I finished playing at ETSU a few teams contacted me, but I knew it was important to finish my student-teaching and graduating first," added DeVault. "I held on to the teams' contact information, and when I realized fitness training wasn't for me, I gave the coaches a call to see if they had any spots open."
Ironically, it was another former Lady Buccaneer who had a hand in helping DeVault land the gig in

The Iceland-Express league begins its 9-month schedule in mid-October. Team U.M.F. Grindavik finished 8-12 a year ago, but they won the Icelandic Cup in 2007-08.
"I am very happy Michele has been given the chance to continue her basketball career," added head ETSU women's basketball coach Karen Kemp, who has now guided six Lady Buccaneer student-athletes to professional playing careers overseas. "Michele is a very talented basketball player, and she has meant so much to this program. I wish her the best of luck in

To say that GCB takes the Desperate Housewives template and cranks up the crazy is understating the brisk looniness of this enterprise, which launched Sunday night. The new series, starring Kristen Chenoweth, Annie Potts, and a host of high-haired, chest-raised costars, tries to cross the final-season Housewives with Dallas, tossing in a degree of cam that makes La Cage aux Folles look like a model of restraint.
The ostensible star of GCB is Leslie Bibb, who plays Amanda, a newly single mom who returns home from Los Angeles to her hometown Dallas suburb. Bibb has always come off, on camera, as a tad too high-strung and strident to become either a movie or TV star, though not for a lack of many producers trying. (I'm talking about the image she projects — I'm sure she's as warm and soothing as a kitten lapping from a bowl of milk in real life.) Her Amanda is a brittle protagonist, so it's fortunate that she's surrounded by other characters so much more brittle, they look as though they'd snap in half if you applied modest pressure to any one of their toned tummies.
Chief among these is the marvelous Kristen Chenoweth, who, despite her diminutive stature, has one of those talents that seems too big for even the widest-screen TV. Chenoweth has made some memorable TV appearances on shows ranging from The West Wing to Glee, but there was a reason why her biggest TV showcase thus far, Pushing Daisies, failed: Its candy-colored whimsy clashed with one of Chenoweth's greatest strengths, the projection of witty shrewdness.
Chenoweth plays part of a gaggle of "good Christian bitches" — to use the title phrase of the book upon which this show is based, and which ABC foresaw had to be abbreviated in the current cultural climate to avoid corporate grief — who want revenge upon Amanda, who, you see, used to be, in her own phrase, the "queen bitch," is no longer one, but who still instills intense dislike among those with long memories. Chenoweth is superb on her own terms in interpreting her character as a sincere Christian who thinks part of that faith can include exacting revenge, and can revel in material prosperousness. (Her wardrobe is pretty fab.)
Congrats, too, to Swingtown's Miriam Shor as Cricket. Shor, like Chenoweth, knows how to exaggerate the portrayal of a woman who thinks she's good, Christian, and not a b—- to fine effect, and her story line — married as she is to Blake, a pretty much closeted gay man played by Mark Deklin, is a standout among brassy standouts.
The organizing idea behind GCB is that, while Amanda has sinned and sought forgiveness by being a better person, she's surrounded by impeccably manicured and Botoxed hypocrites. And a terrific Annie Potts, as Amanda's feisty mom, who still marvels that her daughter could ever have moved to L.A. when she could have stayed in Dallas: "same weather without the liberals."
If that line, and the notion of a Hooters-like bar called Boobylicious strike you as funny — and if you're willing to buy the idea that Amanda would opt to work as a flesh-baring waitress at that boob-populated establishment even though she's trying to project a better image — then you probably bought into GCB.
The series has Sex and the City's Darren Star plus a couple of Pushing Daisies producers behind it, with producer-writer Robert Harling (Steel Magnolias, Soapdish) working hard to mix Southern charm and cattiness yield laughs. I think viewers may well have chuckled at some of the one-liners, but it was next to impossible for me to become interested in any of the characters here. I respect all the talent that's both on screen and behind it, but I think I'll be opting out of GCB as regular weekly viewing.
How about you?

Football season is back! To celebrate, we met with former NFL defensive lineman Junior Bryant at Sweat Yoga in Santa Monica. After a serious neck injury cut his playing career on the San Francisco 49ers short, he's transitioned his competitive spirit into the world of finance, and even into his personal yoga practice.
How did you get started in football?
I started playing football when I was in eighth grade. I was fortunate enough to get a college scholarship to Notre Dame. From there I got a chance to sign with 49ers and spent ten years on their roster. I was on the practice squad first as a free agent and made my way along the path until I became a starter. Unfortunately, I got injured before I was ready to be done. Continue reading

A little bird's been helping with the genealogy. I hope to have a complete one soon. As with all genealogies, they may be errors, but this is to the best of our knowledge.
**Do you know that ISAIAH THOMPSON is actually ISAIAH BARLOW?
**"Wife" BECCA or REBBECA is REBECCA TIMPSON, father RAY TIMPSON, which would of some relation to JOHN W. TIMPSON, one of CP's leaders.
**HYRUM "BURTON" TIMPSON recently married KELLIE. I have to say I thought the tree HYRUM made was really sweet. KELLIE is not KELLIE THOMPSON.
KELLIE is KELLIE BARLOW, the sister of ISAIAH "THOMPSON" BARLOW. The BARLOW name goes to JOHN YEATES BARLOW, who was a Mormon fundamentalist leader in Short Creek.
**ISAIAH BARLOW and KELLIE BARLOW are siblings!
Which leads us to HYRUM's curious parentage.
Source say that HYRUM BURTON is actually HYRUM TIMPSON, son of Centennial Park leader JOHN W. TIMPSON. Also according to reports, SUSIE was not his mother, Sister wife mother, yes. Full Aunt yes. But we've been told his mother is actually another wife JOHN W. TIMPSON'S and SUSIE'S full blooded sister, Arthur Hammon's half sister. We will call her Mother HAMMON TIMPSON, which also would be ARTHUR HAMMON'S half sister. It wasn't his mother that passed, but his aunt, or other mother. That was a definite "white lie" on the show if this is true. We have been told that all the children were to call SUSIE mother, whether she was their actual mother in the home or not.
HYRUM's grandfather hence is ALMA A. TIMPSON. His home was the initial Centennial Park group meeting place. He was an influential part of the group, and Centennial Park leader from 1988 until his death in 1997.
While we are speaking of Aunt Susie's passing, here is her obituary. One thing polygamists love to do is to leave out the names of their children!
Our beloved wife, mother, sister and friend, Susie (Hammon) Timpson, age 66, passed away peacefully in her home in Centennial Park, Arizona, surrounded by her family. She was born September 13, 1946 in Hildale, Utah, the oldest daughter of J.M. Hammon and Alice (Barlow) Hammon. She spent the early years of her life in Salt Lake City, UT and Farmington, UT, then moved to Colorado City, AZ in 1960. She married John W. Timpson on September 7, 1964.
Susie graduated from the Colorado City Academy in 1964. She then attended Stevens Henager College of Business. She spent the first years of her married life living and working in Salt Lake City, supporting her husband as he attended the University of Utah. After he obtained his Bachelor's Degree in Physics, they moved to Colorado City, AZ, where they raised their family. Again, she supported her husband as he completed his mission of educating the young teenagers of Colorado City Academy for 20 years. She was employed several times over her life time, most notably at Polyseal in Salt Lake City. She worked and interacted with many people she cared deeply about, and they loved her as a loyal friend and mentor.
She then returned home to Colorado City and, together with her husband and family, built a home in Centennial Park, where she lived the remaining years of her life. She was relied on to put her mind, heart and hands wherever she was asked to participate: in family life, in community life, in religious life. She was intelligent, beautiful, strong, passionate, full of life and humor and compassion. She loved administering to her husband, her family and her community. She loved the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the opportunities and blessings it brought to her life. She was a strong and valuable advocate for women, loving them and encouraging them to strive for a greater life and destiny. She is a beloved friend and counselor to so many.
She is survived by her husband, John, her children and numerous grandchildren, and a large, loving extended family. She is preceded in death by her parents and her husband's parents, who she loved deeply.
Funeral services will be held Wednesday, November 21, 2012, at 1:00 pm at the Centennial Park Chapel in Centennial Park, AZ. There will be a family gathering from 7:30 to 9:30 pm on Monday, November 19th. Friends and family are welcome to say goodbye to Susie on Tuesday, November 20th from 7:00 - 9:30 pm and again on the morning of Wednesday, November 21st from 10:00 am - 12:30 pm, prior to the service at 1:00 pm. Interment will be in the Centennial Park Cemetery, Centennial Park, AZ.
The family wishes to thank all those who assisted in the care of Susie over the last five years. It is deeply appreciated.
Remember when poor ROSE was talking with the Brethern, *Cough* Grandpa CLAUDE TOMKINS CAWLEY? Buckle you seatblet, 'cause he we go again!!
Brethern CLAUDE T. CAWLEY is the father of MICHAEL CAWLEY.
CLAUDE T. CAWLEY has a number of wives, one being another sister of ARTHUR HAMMON. One of ARTHUR'S unnamed sister is another wife of JOHN W. TIMPSON. Boy, ole ARTHUR has sisters everywhere!
Now here comes the connection between Brethern CLAUDE T. CAWLEY and Brethern JOHN W. TIMPSON....they are brothers from the same mother!!
Meet GUINEVERE CAWLEY TIMPSON, mother of both CLAUDE T. CAWLEY and JOHN W. TIMPSON. They are brothers from the same mother.
|Born: 20 Jan 1914-Died: 17 Mar 2012
**First wife of Cawley, not of Timpson.
Guinevere Woolley Timpson was born on January 20, 1914 in Ogden, Utah, and died on March 17, 2012, in Colorado City, Arizona. She was the daughter of Franklin Benjamin and Ellie Seegmiller Woolley, the youngest of their 12 children, all of whom she survived. Her early years were spent in Ogden, where she married John C. Cawley, who was tragically killed in an automobile accident in December, 1937. She married Alma Adelbert Timpson on April 25, 1944, leaving Ogden to live with him in Salt Lake City, Utah. During subsequent years, she operated the True Method Reducing business in Salt Lake. She has lived briefly in Los Angeles, California, Boise, Idaho, and Riverside, California, returning to Salt Lake City in 1956, where she resided until her move to Colorado City, Arizona by 1970.
Her life was marked distinctively by her loyalty to the priesthood authority she recognized as presiding over her, under whose guidance she performed ordinance work during most years of her long life for hundreds of young women. They and many others of her extended family and acquaintances came to love her as a wise counselor and dear friend.
She is survived by her two sons, CLAUDE T. CAWLEY and JOHN W. TIMPSON, and numerous grandsons and granddaughters.
Funeral services will be held at 12:00 noon in the chapel at Centennial Park, Arizona, on March 25, 2012, and a viewing open to the general public from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. March 24, as well as 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on the day of the funeral. (Source: Deseret News, Mar 2012)
Which makes JOHN W. TIMPSON an uncle to MICHAEL CAWLEY, and HYRUM "BURTON TIMPSON" and MICHAEL CAWLEY first cousins.
MICHAEL CAWLEY is married to TERESA KNUDSON, who is a sibling to ROB KNUDSON, husband of AMANDA DARGER, daughter of JOE DARGER. See how this ferris wheel rides? It gets interesting. TERESA KNUDSON'S parents are KENNETH C. KNUDSON and unnamed HAMMON. There's that HAMMON surname again. The KNUDSON family have that HUGE home in Centennial Park.
Before we leave the DARGER'S - here's JOE DARGER'S Father's obit:
Our friend, brother and loving father, Joseph Lynn Darger, passed away December 13, 1995, at his home in Herriman, Utah.
Lynn was born December 24, 1946, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to David Brigham Darger and Virginia Beth McDaniel Darger. His mother died in 1958. Lynn's life was the gospel of Jesus Christ, and he lived and loved it to the very end. His selflessness and sacrifice blessed him with many friends and a large family who love him and will miss him.He is survived by his wives, Shauna, Melinda, Brenda and Debbie; children, Joseph, Jason, Danielle, Dustin, Rachel, Levi, Lucas, Moroni, Kristina, Eliza, Shauna, Brigham, Melinda, Rebekah, Ethen, Heber and Heleman; sons-in-law, Matthew Jessop and Ryan Jessop; daughters-in-law, Cindy, Vicki, Alina, and Rhonda; other mothers, Celesta, Violet, Deborah; brothers, Ronald, Brigham, David, Allan and Richard Darger; sisters, Dawn Boss, Janet Williams and Kaylene Barlow; and 29 other brothers and sisters. Preceded in death by his father and mother; special mother, Aldora ("Lizey") Darger; brother, Lee Darger, and sister, Ann Kelsch.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, December 16, 1995, 2 p.m. at Larkin Mortuary, 260 East South Temple. Friends may call Friday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. and one hour prior to services. Interment Elysian Burial Gardens. (Source: Deseret News)
Remember how JOE DARGER said "Big Love" was based on his family?
Here's an interesting artile I came across about JOE'S father JOSEPH LYNN DARGER'S wife SHAUNA:
Seems like the ole Mother of the Year award scenario really happened!
As Gov. Mike Leavitt and his wife Jacalyn honored 24 Utah women as "great examples
and symbols of motherhood," another nominee quietly slipped out the back door of the
Governor's Mansion because her polygamous past had become known by ceremony
Shauna Lynne Darger -- nominated by her son for the award -- arrived for Saturday's
ceremony along with two dozen of "Utah's Remarkable Mothers" from around the state.
But the Riverton mother of 10 never stepped up to accept her tribute.
Informed that Darger had been a polygamist, ceremony organizers confronted her.
Darger acknowledged having a past polygamous relationship, then left the mansion with
three grown children who had accompanied her, said the governor's spokesperson, VickiVarela.
"I'm declining the award," Darger tolda Salt Lake Tribune reporter, refusing comment
about whether she currently is in a polygamous relationship.
Darger was one of four wives of Joseph Lynn Darger, of Herriman, until he died in
The woman was pictured along with the 24 other nominees in a full-page ZCMI
department store ad in Saturday's Tribune.The governor learned of the controversy only after the ceremony, Varela said. "He
respected this as the best choice for this person to make under the circumstances," Varela
Organizers did not try to persuade Darger to stay.
"It was clear she was choosing to leave the event," Varela said, adding Darger did not
want to attract negative attention to the ceremony, nor to herself.
Varela said the focus on polygamy was unfortunate for the other mothers "and for this
mother's mothering which,
have no doubt, is honorable."
Family and friends nominated Darger by submitting letters to ZCMI
and the Governor's Initiative on Families Today.
Criminal background checks were run on the nominees, Varela said, "but there is
nothing that would have brought this to our attention."
Laura Chapman, a former member of the anti-polygamy group Tapestry of Polygamy,
said: "There are some good mothers in polygamy. I don't think that should exclude her
from an award. But if she's indoctrinating her children to break the law, that's not a good mom."
Polygamy was renounced by The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1890, and six years later outlawed
by the Utah Constitution. Darger won a place among the list of 25 women,
in part, for starting a successful catering
business after her husband died. The business has allowed Darger to support and nurture
her children at home, according to a son's nomination letter.
Added the son: "Her daily heroism both inspires me and epitomizes the high office of motherhood." (Source: Salt Lake Tribune: 2 May 1999. pg. C.1)
Now Back to the Polygamy USA Bunch!
MICHAEL CAWLEY had a great grandmother named FAWNETTA JESSOP. That leads his family into the ALLREDS, JESSOPS, BARLOWS and past leader JOHN YEATES BARLOW.
ROSE CAWLEY probably has to do a lot of genealogy before finding that inspiration about a husband!
I'll stop there for now. We will go into the HAMMON family tree next.
The same names keep popping up over and over in this small town. When another generation is added, you can connect about anyone-from the Browns, Dargers, Jessops Allreds. This is one interconnected group! Some information is left out to protect those not on the show. If you'd like to add information, please email us at the right!
Be sure and check back for a new post coming...a perspective of what it's like inside Centennial Park and other polygamist sects, from Ed Kociela, author of "Plygs" who was in a scene of Polygamy USA.

I Moved this to PC it was originally in mobile as an accident, sorry.
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read this forum post! keep in mind I have little experience with the game and I have less than 5 hours on it, for the next alpha (from what I understand you are doing something similar to what Prison Architect and Rimworld have done.) Here's what I think you should focus on. First of all, Bugs, loads of bugs, I understand as a developer, your priority is releasing a quality product, and make your customers feel welcome as a part of the community. So bugs may well be a top priority already, but here are a few that I notice the most and encumber me in my travels. First, the first time I switch to Red or Yellow alert in a game, the alert icon gets bugged when I switch it back to green and keeps the same icon as the Red / Yellow alert, the emergency lighting and crew act as if it is Green alert though. Switching between Red and Yellow is fine however. This causes alot of the text when hovering over items to show 2 different text boxes, and my weapons and shields do not power down. The second bug is that sometimes when warping, (usually accidently clicking where I already am), I will warp into an empty area with no background and no other ships, and the navigation still works, but the button to initiate warp doesn't appear.
Next, is just a simplicity thing, that I don't think would be too hard to implement. I always assign my crew a workplace that they should work at whenever it is needed, but when I am at Green alert they will wonder off to satisfy their needs, however, when I switch back to Red/Yellow alert, or their needs are satisfied, they will not walk back to their workstation, I understand why they would hang around and have some conversation with other crew members, but as soon as they hear an alert, they will stop what they are doing, and return to their last station, I don't think this would be too hard to implement.
Now, for my favorite part, Detail. I don't like how the station is fixed on how it will look, and how small and undone it seems, I would like a degree of randomness to the room layout and theme, but the station sprite could be kept the same. I would also like a dynamic story for the full game, (and by the diplomacy tab thats what it looks like) I really like the startrek feel of the game, and I would also like to have allies to aid me, and also maybe fleet battles (partially implemented) and the ability to control multiple ships.I don't like feeling like a renegade, I love to feel part of a bigger picture, and would like to be able to return to Earth to get promotions, assignments, and familiarize myself with star command staff.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope you consider this with your next Alpha releases, This game has huge potential, and I would like to help give a small nudge in the right direction.
P.S. I really would like if the game was focused on having more crewmen, which the return to battlestations would be necessary for, Have some of the larger ships with potential crew capacities of 20-50, which makes me feel like I am making a difference in the galaxy, aswell as a dynamic universe, like you would see a freighter doing a cargo run, and later see that ship again mining some asteroids. Carriers are another idea. but this isn't a Alpha suggestion as much as it is a Game story suggestion, so just keep that in mind too, cheers.
One final thing, i am using the steam version of the game

It's the sticky chicken lollipops that are the most baffling: £14 for a box from M&S, complete with a "sweet soy, mirin" – a Japanese condiment, apparently – "and ginger glaze".
"Don't bother – they are rank," advises one poster on Mumsnet, but at both ends of the market, 2013 feels like the year of the absurd canapé, and one presumes that poultry done up to look like sweets is proving just as popular as spring rolls, sushi and the already legendary Bubble Bobble King Prawns (£1 for 10 from Iceland, but be warned: they involve Rice Krispies). Millions of us now obviously require a lot more than Christmas dinner, booze, and a smattering of Twiglets: £19bn is forecast to be blown this season on food and drink, up 3.9% on last year.
And under the tree? The drooled-over Sony PS4, a snip at £350, with games selling for around £50 each. For Dad, a selection of those boxed-up CDs that the music industry is using to wring the last drops out of its inventory – like Bob Dylan's Complete Album Collection, which sells for the best part of £150. A tablet or two, even for Grandma and Grandad – the 128Gb iPad Air looks nice, at £740.
Forecasts of Christmas spending seem mixed: 2012's figures suggested an average household spend no higher than in 2006 and people remain driven to find bargains, but there have been credible predictions of a 3.5% rise in 2013, and yuletide spending exceeding £40bn. Certainly, the seasonal noise suggests pathological consumerism is back in full effect, with near riots on so-called Black Friday, internet shopping breaking records, and adverts – adverts! – being treated as news events. "Britain's Christmas spending binge leaves US trailing" was a headline last week on Bloomberg, which surely spoke volumes.
In some parts of the country, then, the giddiness sown by a hyped-up recovery and rising house prices – up by an annual average of 7.7%, according to Halifax, with George Osborne's Help To Buy scheme having played its part – is evidently doing its work.
Meanwhile, the grim state of far too much of the economy is unchanged: 21% of employees are paid less than the living wage, and part-time and temporary jobs run rampant. The weekend brought news that, for the first time, more than half the 13 million Britons classified as being poor live in working households: a real watershed that needs to be endlessly highlighted. Even for people higher up the income scale, life remains pinched and anxious: petrol bought journey by journey; bills deferred; dread when a replacement car has to be bought. The fact that the ongoing fall in real wages has become a political cliche does not make it any less real: between 2010 and 2012, real earnings fell in every part of the UK – by 7.5% in London, and a mind-boggling 8.1% in Yorkshire and the Humber.
So, what pays for the sticky chicken lollipops and iPads? People are raiding their savings, which have lately undergone their biggest drop in 40 years, enough to prompt a former Downing Street adviser to warn that such figures are "desperately worrying … If you just withdraw money and spend you are talking about a recipe for long-term economic decline."
And then there is debt. The Office for Budget Responsibility says that the ratio of household debt to income is set to start increasing again, and at a faster rate than it predicted in March. By 2015, household debt, including mortgages, is projected to exceed £2tn. And the critical point is how it is distributed. Last week, the Resolution Foundation's ever-insightful Gavin Kelly had a piece in the Financial Times warning that a sixth of private debt is held by households that have less than £200 a month to cover anything more than basic essentials. Nearly a third of mortgage debt, he pointed out, is owed by people who have borrowed more than four times their annual income. And a watershed moment will be reached when interest rates start to go up again.
Which brings us to the next bit of seasonal good news. According to the OBR, unemployment will fall to 7.1% in 2014, and 7% the year after that. Seven per cent, let us not forget, is the rate of unemployment at which Mark Carney has said that the Bank of England will start to "reassess" its policy on interest rates. So far, he says, the figure represents a "threshold" rather than a trigger, but rates will sooner or later have to rise. As and when that happens, on the assumption that wages are hardly likely to skyrocket, tight household budgets could start to snap, and we may well be faced with echoes of 2007-8: mortgage defaults, a sudden crisis of confidence – and, this time, no munificent government to clear up the mess.
These are the ghouls swirling around this Christmas. For all the talk of growth, private investment is at its lowest level since the 1950s. Britain's export performance remains disappointing: in the third quarter of 2013, exports suffered their biggest fall in more than four years. Pledges to somehow rebalance the economy show no sign of becoming a reality, and we are stuck with much the same model that made us so vulnerable five years ago, in which people work in shops, earning money to spend in other shops, and top up their budgets using credit.
The City, meanwhile, is brimming with both good cheer and grim auguries. Ten days ago, the return was announced of synthetic collateralised debt obligations: as one deadpan report put it, "the securities that probably contributed most to losses during the financial crisis" – revived by Citi, and marketed for the first time since 2007.
Quietly, jitters about all this are being expressed on the right, just as much as on the left. Last week, the Tory Bow group published its crisply written response to the chancellor's autumn statement. "The current UK economic growth figures remain reliant on the financial sector and a rising housing market," it said. "The bubble that burst in 2008 is being slowly reinflated, meaning [that] the danger of returning to the 'boom and bust' model of the past has never been higher."
What's driving the recovery, it seems, is thinking akin to the modern spirit of Christmas: an all-too-familiar urge to spend way beyond our means, and an aversion to worrying about the inevitable hangover. As those daft canapés do the rounds, some will be raising their glasses to growth. More sober minds will be thinking of no end of trouble, bubble-bobbling just under the surface.

You've been stopped, tested, arrested and cited for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. You may have had your license confiscated, car impounded, and spent the night in lock-up. You may face more jail time, the loss of your driver's license, fines, mandatory DUI school, the tribulations of a trial, more problems and humiliations. You're dispirited, depressed, anxious and overwhelmed looking for answers to solve the many questions and myth-information you may have received from friends and family.
The only truly qualified person to answer your questions is an experienced and skilled attorney. Counselors can be by your side through the entire process, explaining the details of a DUI offense and the intricacies of your defense. But first let us answer some of your very basic concerns.
Information you need to knowWas I stopped legally?A motorist can be stopped for a variety of reasons, including improperly working equipment on your car, erratic driving or if an officer has a reasonable and explainable basis to believe that a traffic law or other law has been violated.What is a DUI?Driving Under the Influence (of alcohol and /or drugs). There is an alphabet soup of similar acronyms including: DWI, DUII, DPS, DWAI, BMV, OUI, OWI, OUIL, OVI, OMVI, DUID). It is defined as the act of operating a vehicle, animal or watercraft under the impaired influence of alcohol (and/or other drugs, including over the counter drugs such as Nyquil or Benadryl, for example.) What does "under the influence" mean? The most common understanding of the term is when an intoxicated person's judgment and motor skills are impaired or will interfere with the safe and prudent operation of a vehicle. Driving under the influence can be determined via a 'breath test', urine or blood sample. A DUID (Driving Under the Influence of Drugs) is a different and more complicated matter.
What is .08 BAC?
In every state the Blood Alcohol Content which determines a DUI is .08%. However, other factors may apply, such as driving with a commercial license, 'zero tolerance' for underage drivers who may be arrested for just having alcohol on their breath. The American Medical Association says that a person can become impaired when the blood alcohol level hits 0.05%. If a person's BAC measures 0.08, it means that there are 0.08 grams of alcohol per 100 milliliter (ml) of blood. In fact, a police officer may make a judgment call and arrest anyone for being impaired even if their BAC is lower than .08%.It is a general rule of thumb that the consumption one standard drink (or one ounce of alcohol per hour) will increase the average person's BAC to roughly 0.05%. Consequently, two drinks in one hour is enough to put you over the legal limit. However, this is not a really good gauge largely because of variation in physiology and individual tolerance according to weight, gender, and body fat.What is a 'breathalyzer' test?A breathalyzer is a device for estimating blood alcohol content from a breath sample. "Breathalyzer" is a brand name. Other names include, breathalyser, Intoxilyzer, Intoximeter, AlcoScan, Alcotest, AlcoSensor, Alcolizer, and Datamaster.Because the alcohol concentration in the breath is related to that in the blood, you can figure BAC by measuring alcohol on the breath. The ratio of breath alcohol to blood alcohol is 2,100:1. This means that 2,100 ml of alveolar (lung) air will contain the same amount of alcohol as 1 ml of blood.Every state has penalties for refusing a lawful request for a DUI test most states allow evidence of that fact to be introduced. And a jury may be instructed that they can draw a permissible inference of "consciousness of guilt" for anyone refusing a test. Many states also operate under an "implied consent" statute, meaning anyone issued a driver's license agrees to submit to a test of breath, blood, or urine when lawfully requested by a law enforcement officer. Although generally accepted as a form of proof, breathalysers aren't always accurate. The validity of the testing equipment, the operator, methods and mathematical relationships for the measurement of breath and blood alcohol have been rigorously criticized. Plus, many everyday items contain forms of alcohol (asthma spray, cough drops and syrup, paints, even fingernail polish) which may cause a 'false positive' reading. However, failure to submit to such a test may result in automatic suspension of a driver's license even if not convicted of drunk driving. Failure to submit to such a test may also serve to enhance the penalties for a DUI conviction.What is a field sobriety test (FST)?An officer may administer one or more standardized field sobriety tests (SFSTs). The Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST) is a battery of three observational and physical response tests administered to indicate impairment and establish probable cause for arrest. However, this is based on the arresting officer's subjective opinion of impairment, which often can be inept and open to cross examination. Because of medical, physical or emotional reasons, many people should not nor cannot be validly judged by these tests. Unfortunately, in some states failure to take a SFST may also infer a "consciousness of guilt".What kind of crime is a DUI?Driving while intoxicated represents the single largest category of criminal infractions of all reported cases in the U.S. and is considered the most serious misdemeanor offense. In several states, repeat offenders are considered felons. A DUI conviction has the potential to remain on your record for life. Generally, a first offense is considered a misdemeanor. A misdemeanor DUI means that the charge involved no injury or property damage. A felony means that a serious injury to a person or property occurred, or multiple DUI's are involved.What is my defense going to cost?One of the biggest concerns for people charged with DUI is what a defense will cost. Each case is different and there are many factors shaping each defense, so as cases vary so does the fee. Most people don't realize that money spent now on a skillful DUI attorney might save them thousands in the years to come. Jobs, credit ratings, and insurance costs can all be impacted by a criminal record. So, it's important that you discuss the issues with a competent DUI attorney. Can you put a price tag on your freedom, your criminal record and your peace of mind?What happens in court?You will have to appear in court more than once - First for an arraignment, then for a defense if you go to trial and for sentencing if convicted. Your attorney will offer a timeline and overview of the court proceedings.Will the Department of Motor Vehicles get involved? When charged with a DUI you also face a possible revocation or suspension of driving privileges, even if charged while driving out of state. The administrative (DMV charge) and will be handled separately and differently from the criminal offense. In most states there are ways to retain your driving privilege for work and emergencies. What about my auto insurance?After being charged most states will demand a SR-22 (high risk and therefore costly insurance policy).What is my defense going to cost?Each case is different and there are many factors shaping each defense. So, it's important that you discuss the issues with a competent DUI attorney. But always consider the cost of your freedom, your criminal record and your peace of mind.Can I win my case?Your best bet is to have one of our attorneys discuss, examine and review your case and make the best evaluation possible. There are a myriad of circumstances and challenges of evidence to consider: the reason you were stopped, testimony of the arresting officer to the viability of the sobriety tests among others. No one can promise you an acquittal, but your chances are enhanced with the aid an attorney who understands the law, the system, the procedures and will fight for you.Every defendant in every criminal case is entitled to reasonable doubt and to compel the prosecution to make its case that either defendant's guilt has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt, or the defendant is entitled to be found not guilty.The issues in a DUI case are wide ranging from scientific, to medical to fine legal points. There are also many myths about a DUI defense and numerous ways in which evidence can be challenged. When seeking answers to serious questions it's always best to secure the advice and treatment of a qualified specialist."The term "win" is in quotation marks here because winning may mean having the charge reduced to a different offense or otherwise obtaining a plea bargain that avoids a conviction. The availability of alternative plea arrangements for offenders varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.Where jury trials are available, success rates for acquittal are surprisingly good. The national average for acquittals is about 50 percent for those accused of drunk driving if their cases are heard by juries. In some jurisdictions, only about 20 percent to 30 percent of all drunk driving arrests lead to a conviction, while other states have an 80 percent to 90 percent conviction rate".Your attorney will examine:

No one can promise you an acquittal, but your chances are enhanced with the aid an attorney who understands the law, the system, the procedures and will fight for you.What can happen if I am convicted?Across the country DUI laws have much in common, but every state has laws and penalties which differ. That's why it is important and in your best interests to be referred to an attorney is who familiar with each state's statute.Generally, a first offense amounts to having a permanent DUI record, fine, probation, loss of driver's license for a time, points against your driving record, attending substance abuse meetings (such as Alcoholics Anonymous) paying for and attending a DUI school (especially to regain ones driver's license).What if I am a multiple offender?"Multiple DUI" is a term that refers to a 2 or more offenses and for this you really need to consult with a reputable DUI Defense Attorney. The consequences associated with multiple DUI convictions can be severe, including large fines, extended incarceration and lengthy substance abuse therapy.After the DUI—what happens to my record and my license?Clearing or "expungement" of one's record generally refers to delete, seal and/or destroy an arrest and/or conviction information. Expungement, when properly done, can remove hurdles to gainful employment, save professional licenses, and bring closure to the DUI ordeal. This varies from state to state. Consequently, it is important to consult with a lawyer in the state where the conviction occurred.Regardless of what you have heard, drunk driving cases are not impossible to win if you have a good case and the right DUI attorney to help you - your DUI attorney must be experienced with all facets of the DUI arrest process - your DUI lawyer must understand and be ready to cross-examine the state's expert about the science of field sobriety testing, laws of arrest and probable cause, and blood, breath, and urine testing.

The directions were great and I was able to make the whole thing in one night! I will definitely be making more of these as gifts and for myself :)
The top is weighted (I used rice) and has a spot for needles made of felt. The panel has pockets for a seam ripper, thread snips, a marking pen etc. My favorite part is that the thread bag detaches so you can dump it out or take it somewhere else without moving the whole thing! I used three fat quarters of Kate Spain's Terrain which is my mom's favorite fabric line right now. I didn't have any buttons in my stash that matched so I made a fabric covered one from the scraps.
The rest of my mom's gift is quilty too- A trip to the International Quilt Festival in April! We live in Northeastern Ohio so the drive to Cincinnati isn't too bad so I'm taking her down for the weekend as a Christmas/Birthday gift :) SO excited to let her know!
I also went and used a long arm machine and quilted the quilt for my mother-in-law on Saturday. Now I just need to get that binding on there and wrap it up!
